BBC World News is the BBC's international news and current affairs television channel. It has the largest audience of any BBC channel and any news channel in the world. Launched on 11 March 1991 as the BBC World Service Television outside of Europe (the name was changed to BBC World in 1995 and to BBC World News in 2008), it broadcasts for 24-hours with television programming including BBC News bulletins, documentaries, lifestyle programmes and interviews. Its main global competitor is CNN International, though it also competes with other major news broadcasting companies. It employs more correspondents, reporters, and international bureaus than any other news channel.

Unlike the BBC's domestic channels, BBC World News is not funded by a licence fee. Instead, it is funded commercially by advertising.

On 21 April 2008, the channel changed its name from BBC World to BBC World News as part of a £550,000 rebranding of the BBC's news output, including a new visual identity. The channel later moved into the renovated former studio of the BBC News channel.

En este video se muestra el grado de importancia que las grandes cadenas de televisión tanto de ´México como del mundo le dieron a la muerte del Papa Juan Pablo II. Pocas veces en la historia del periodismo se ha visto una cobertura a este nivel. Televisa, Tv Azteca, Canal 11, Fox News, CNN internacional, BBC world, CNN en español, TVE, Antena 3, RAI, entre mujchas otras señales transmitieron ininterrumpiadamente este dia histórico para la Iglesia Católica mundial. La salud del Papa Juan Pablo II se quebrantó en los primeros meses de 2005, cuando tuvo que ser hospitalizado por un síndrome de dificultad respiratoria. Se le realizó una traqueotomía a mediados de marzo. Hacia finales del mismo mes su estado se agravó y entre el 31 de marzo y el 1 de abril sufrió una septicemia por complicación de una infección de vías urinarias. Falleció el 2 de abril de 2005 a las 21:37 horas (hora de Italia). Pocos minutos después Monseñor Leonardo Sandri anunció la noticia a las personas congregadas en la Plaza de San Pedro y al mundo entero. Los días después de su muerte, algunos periódicos publicaron que su última palabra fue "Amén" sin embargo el Vaticano desmintió esta versión y afirmó que las últimas palabras fueron "Déjenme ir a la casa de mi padre". La muerte fue comprobada por el Cardenal Camarlengo Eduardo Martínez Somalo. El Camarlengo comunicó la muerte al Cardenal Camillo Ruini, como "Vicario para la Urbe" y el Cardenal Decano del Colegio Cardenalicio, Joseph Ratzinger <b>...</b>
