HOST Jonathan Dimbleby JONATHAN Dimbleby is quitting Any Questions? after 32 years.
The Radio 4 show, which changes location weekly, has an audience quiz politicians and other guests.
The veteran host, 74, will leave in June. He said: “It will be a wrench. But the time feels right.
“For more than four decades I have been fortunate to combine presenting, reporting and interviewing for radio and television, as well as writing books.
“I plan to remain as busy as I have been up to now.”
BBC Director-General Tony Hall said: “His sharp intellect and chairing skills have made Any Questions? essential listening. I’ll miss his travels enormously.”
Radio 4 will announce a replacement host “in due course”. Torn-down trees block a road in Beauregard AT least 23 people were killed and dozens more injured as tornadoes ripped through the southern US.
Among the dead was six-year-old Armando Hernandez, who became separated from his mother as a twister devastated Beauregard, Alabama. At least a dozen tornadoes touched down in Alabama and Georgia with wind speeds up to 165mph on Sunday.
Homes were destroyed and roads blocked by fallen trees.
On one tree a sheet of metal was wrapped around the trunk by the sheer force of the wind. Metal on tree trunk Sheriff Jay Jones, of Lee County, Alabama, said the storm’s aftermath looked “as if someone had taken a blade and just scraped the ground”. The contents of one house were found 1,000 yards away, he added.
The search for survivors continued last night. Armando, six House is wrecked in Beauregard
