The World This Week

We tell you all you need to know about the key stories of the past seven days – using some of the best reporting from BBC correspondents, and other BBC specialists, to explain not only what happened, but why it matters.

The programme will cover war, politics, diplomacy – but also scientific advances, health stories, the personalities in the news, the environment, culture and the arts. If a story made an impact, or helped shaped the world, you’ll hear it on The World This Week.
