Perhaps it was BBC World's counterpart? It sounds like the modern version is Reporters.
I don't think so. I could be misremembering but I think Reporters itself existed by about 1998. There was also a BBC World programme in about 1997 called 24 Hours - can't remember now whether this became Reporters? Other World programmes around this time were This Week (does this still exist in 2017? Haven't seen it for a very long time), Window on Europe, Euro Briefing (not Euro Brief which was hosted by David Jessel and IIRC aired on News 24 on Sunday afternoons), Science Week and, of course, Hard Talk.
News 24 had lots of strands, including the ones seen briefly on the anniversary as well as things like Europe Direct, USA Direct etc. There were so many of them it's hard to remember them all now! Hopefully someone with a better memory of this time will be able to wade in and clear things up!

Oh, so that suggests it was nothing to do with technology, and was as I expected a forerunner to UK Today. Although that schedule seems to suggest it co-existed at the same time as both UK Today and UK Tonight.
