The BBC News 24 headlines summary, which is recorded for interactive TV and carried on the BBC News website, is available for you to watch whenever you want on your connected handheld device.

The news is updated round the clock and the summary is typically two to three minutes long, covering five to eight top stories.

The BBC News video is free for you to access but your network operator will charge you for the amount of data you use. We recommend you check with your operator how much this is likely to cost before you begin.
