The Night Watch is a world news bulletin, eight times per day: 00:00, 03:00, 06:00, 09:00, 12:00, 15:00, 18:00 and 21:00 GMT. Each bulletin covers what has changed since the last, in about a minute. When nothing material has happened, there is no bulletin.

Just the facts, sourced from published reports and written fresh. Every story's sources are listed with its bulletin here, and in the description on YouTube. Fraser reads the news; we don't comment on it.

We are a small family operation. Our goal is to keep you better informed, so that you may remain free — and remain free to speak freely.

Produced with the assistance of AI (there's a lot of news to get through). Editorial direction, and review for every bulletin, is conducted by us — real people. Corrections are made in the next bulletin.

Painting: after Rembrandt, The Night Watch (1642), Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam.
