BBC One's 10 O'Clock News launches the first interactive news television bulletin on Tuesday.

Viewers with digital cable, Freeview and digital satellite will be able to access extra footage, interviews and background information.

Sky News and the BBC have both offered interactivity as part of continuous news services since 2001 and 2000.

The BBC's 10 O'Clock News Extra service will be available from 22.00GMT to 22.45GMT between Monday and Friday.

By pressing the red button on their handsets, viewers will be able to read profiles of names in the news and graphics.
