The Morning Brief

Weekdays. The five most important stories of the day, the context behind them and one thing to watch.

The Weekend Read

Saturdays. A slower look at the week: the stories that mattered most, the ones you may have missed and the best explainers.

Breaking news alerts

Only when it truly matters. A short alert for major events, with a link to our live reporting. Most weeks you will receive none.

What is inside the Morning Brief

Each edition follows the same simple structure, so you always know where to find what you need:

  • The lead story: the most significant development of the day, with what happened and why it matters.
  • Four more headlines from world affairs, business, technology and science, each summarised in two or three sentences.
  • The number: one figure that helps explain the news.
  • What to watch: a scheduled event, decision or data release coming up.
  • Links to sources and our full reporting for anyone who wants more.
