National and international news from BBC Radio 4

20/01/2026

The latest news and weather forecast from BBC Radio 4.

**Important Update: The BBC will be implementing major changes to Sounds on July 21st, making it available only to listeners within the UK. As this is an unofficial podcast feed hosted outside the UK, these changes are expected to have an impact, though the extent remains uncertain. Every effort will be made to keep the service running. [4-Jul-25]

Upcoming Maintenance: On March 13th, I will be making some changes to this feed. This is to test continued access after the BBC restricts Sounds to the UK only. If the changes work, you won’t notice any difference. If they don't work, there may be a short disruption. [12-Mar-25]
