The programme features a presenter linking a number of BBC news reports from the past week or highlighting a topic or a series of reports and in some cases conducting interviews with correspondents present at the time the events took place. It was also shown on the BBC News Channel in the UK, but since mid-2017, this is no longer broadcast. The presenter was dropped in 2023 with text acting as the link between the reports and the programme returned to the UK feed.

Normally, the Thursday presenter of World News Today presents the show. Its sister show is UK Reporters which shows viewers internationally the best reports from across the United Kingdom.
