Hosts of the show Jack Foster and Carolyn Scott are both Scottish broadcasters and journalists with over 20 years' shared media experience. Jack and Carolyn use their wealth of experience, vast amount of combined political knowledge, and keen insight to cut through the rhetoric to get to the heart of the news.
Commenting on the launch, Sputnik UK broadcast journalist and presenter of 'World in Focus', Carolyn Scott, said:
"It's rare, as a journalist in Scotland, to get to focus on current affairs on a global level. It's a great honour to be tasked with investigating the lesser known stories from around the globe, and with the backing of a great production team providing a balanced informative report. It's a challenging change from the usual remit of Scottish journalism, but a very welcome one."
