Newshour is BBC World Service's flagship international news and current affairs radio programme, which is broadcast twice daily: weekdays at 1400, weekends at 1300 and nightly at 2100 (UK time).

Occasionally the programme can run for three hours during major breaking stories such as the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

The BBC World Service considers it one of their most important programmes.

It is also broadcast in the United States on various American Public Media stations.

It covers the major news of the day, often interviewing heads of state and government ministers.
