It was launched on 24 October 2005 as part of a revamp of the channel but ended less than twelve months later.
The focus was on events outside of the UK but the show usually incorporated brief domestic news updates.
These were presented by either Chris Roberts or Gillian Joseph, who co-presented Sky News Tonight at 9pm.
Sky News' Foreign Affairs Editor Tim Marshall contributed to the programme, and on occasion hosted during Rubin's absence.
Rubin also presented the show from international locations including Jerusalem (split between Israel and Palestine), and Aleppo (Syria).
