For more than 80 years, the BBC World Service has been the globe's most comprehensive source for news. No other news organization has a network of international correspondents, reporters and producers to rival the BBC. Whenever and wherever news breaks, the BBC World Service is there.
Much more than a breaking-news feed, the BBC World Service offers a variety of information programming, including programs on arts, sport, science and business.
