BBC News is the BBC’s 24-hour news channel that provides continuous coverage of national and international events, live reports, analysis, and expert commentary. It was created from the merger of the BBC News Channel and BBC World News, now serving both UK and global audiences with real-time updates and in-depth journalism. The channel’s output blends breaking news with specialist programmes designed to explore major stories from political, economic, social and cultural perspectives.

Among the channel’s top shows is BBC News with Lucy Hockings, a fast-paced news programme that covers the day’s biggest breaking stories and global headlines. Another key broadcast is Verified Live with Matthew Amroliwala, a fact-checking and analysis show that digs into the accuracy behind major news through verified data and expert investigation.

The World Today with Maryam Moshiri serves as a flagship international news programme, bringing global perspectives into focus with comprehensive reporting and interviews. BBC News also features deep-dive and analysis formats such as The Context with Christian Fraser, where major stories are explored in greater detail, often with expert guests and nuanced discussion.

BBC News maintains a reputation for comprehensive, impartial journalism delivered across a range of programmes that satisfy both immediate news needs and in-depth understanding. Its mix of live reporting, expert analysis and trusted presenters ensures audiences stay informed about the major events shaping the world.
