The BBC News Summary is a news update created by BBC News originally to target the professional and working market. It is broadcast every Monday to Friday at 8:00pm and 9:00pm on BBC One. The 10:00am, 11:00am, 12:15pm and 3:00pm updates part of a restructure of BBC One's daytime schedule.
Like other BBC News bulletins it is presented by a sole newsreader, on Monday to Thursday it is usually Ellie Crisell and on Friday Riz Lateef. After a minute of brief national and international news, a regional presenter provides 30 seconds of regional news headlines and a brief local weather forecast; on BBC One HD in England a national weather forecast is broadcast instead due to there being no regional variations. The 9pm edition is a pre-recorded preview to BBC News at Ten.
History
The news summaries initially started on 27 October 1986, as a part of BBC1's new daytime TV service (prior to this, it was mainly broadcasting Play School and Pages from Ceefax). Hourly or near-hourly bulletins formed the backbone of this service, broadcasting from 9:00 AM. Some bulletins would have BBC regional news and/or weather immediately after. The bulletins would continue until the One O'Clock News was broadcast, at which point they would be broadcast on BBC Two. However, during the 1990s, the news summaries were reduced in number and were discontinued completely by the time BBC News 24 launched in 1997. (These summaries are not to be confused with generic BBC News bulletins broadcast over BBC One and BBC Two at weekends and holidays.)
8:00pm summary
In May 2007 Natasha Kaplinsky and Suzanne Virdee presented the show during its initial pilot in the Midlands.
In October 2007 Natasha Kaplinsky left BBC News, and Kate Silverton was announced as the launch presenter. Initially, the presenter of the BBC News at Six and BBC News at Ten presented Friday editions, but Ellie Crisell later became the Friday presenter.
In February 2008 Silverton left the update to present BBC News at One and was replaced by Crisell, who took maternity leave the following month. During this time Riz Lateef and Celina Hinchcliffe presented the update, while others including Sophie Long and Luisa Baldini also appeared.
On 21 April 2008 the show got a new logo and graphics as part of a BBC News relaunch. In October 2008 Crisell returned to the update. Riz Lateef became the new Friday and relief presenter.
On 18 March 2013, the programme moved to Broadcasting House, along with the BBC News channel and the other BBC One bulletins, and began broadcasting in high-definition.

Reception
The bulletin faced criticism from certain quarters with BBC News being accused of "dumbing down" their news content by condensing the day's news into a brief format.
