What happens

Impact (formerly Impact Asia), styled also as Impact with Yalda Hakim is a news programme that premiered on BBC World News on 1 February 2010 as part of a network-wide refresh. The programme was initially hosted by Mishal Husain, but in later years, the presenter is Yalda Hakim, who replaced previous presenter Mishal Husain. The programme brought audiences a mixture of breaking news, debate and analysis using the BBC's range of correspondents based in the Asia Pacific regions and around the world. Broadcasting political, diplomatic, business, sports and breaking news stories directly affecting Asia Pacific, the programme aimed to analyse stories from a global perspective. The format included sport, business and weather updates. The programme aired until 3 March 2023. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
