How it feels

This is a short news bulletin that gives national and international headlines, followed by regional news and weather. It was a pre-recorded preview for the longer BBC News at Ten program.

What happens

The BBC News Summary is a news update created by BBC News. Like other BBC News bulletins it was presented by a sole newsreader, on Monday to Thursday it was usually Ellie Crisell and on Friday Riz Lateef. After a minute of brief national and international news, a regional presenter provided 30 seconds of regional news headlines and a brief local weather forecast; on BBC One HD in England a national weather forecast was broadcast instead due to there being no regional variations. The 9:00 pm edition was a pre-recorded preview to BBC News at Ten. The 90 second bulletin was axed by the BBC on 30 May 2018. This made the news summary similar to the now defunct BBC Three's 60 Seconds, but ran for 30 seconds longer (as BBC Three has no regional continuity). (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
