My foreign news comes almost exclusively from the CFR Daily News Brief, which sounds like exactly what you're looking for. The daily briefs also link to their Backgrounders, which are excellent and relatively short summaries of the backgrounds to many hot-topic issues.

Did you mean to link here?

Yes, thanks. Apparently didn't copy/paste correctly. Fixed now.

It was quite an entertaining copy/paste error.

:). Was the CFR stuff what you were looking for?

Oh, yes, thanks. I'm making a collection of news-digesty bookmarks, and it's in there.
