Newshour

Newshour is BBC World Service's flagship international news and current affairs programme, which broadcasts twice daily: at 1400 and 2100 (GMT) each edition lasting one hour. It consists of news bulletins on the hour and half hour, international interviews and in-depth reports of world news. The World Service consider it to be one of their most important strands, as shown in 2011 when it was kept as one of four key outlets. It is also heard in the United States on various Public Radio International member stations. The programme comes live from Broadcasting House in London, offering analysis and background on the major news of the day, often interviewing heads of state and government ministers.
