The BBC World News Thread

I think videos only work on laptops and desktops, not on mobile devices.

Plays fine on my Android phone ?

oh, its possibly just iphones and ipads then? my apologies. The videos never work on my phone but work fine on my computer.

When you upload the video to Metropol you need to first switch the video to private and post the new private link, that will work for everyone. The default public link doesn't seem to work for Apple devices.

Here’s the video for Apple devices. Thanks for helping.

Not sure if this was mentioned but I just checked my EPG and it says WBR is back from tomorrow, airing at 06.30 and 07.30 CET.

It’s also listed for BBC One and News Channel as well in the U.K.

Most interestingly they're listed as 30 minute bulletins - which would be the first 30 minute WBR bulletins since January 2010. (Although I wouldn't be surprised if they end up as 15 minute WBR + 15 minute World News).

Didn’t happen in the end despite still being listed.

Lol yeah, no WBR as initially planned in the EPG. Just an ordinary BBC World News bulletin.

On iPlayer in the UK its uploaded as WBR, I always wondered if it was for getting it back on iPlayer

Yeah, actually, the format of the bulletin itself in terms of the headlines by looking at the opening sequence did seem like it would be something that has correlation with business. So it may well be that it runs as being "World Business Report" however the intro, outro, studio screens & lighting setup is just the usual generic look of BBC News rather than it specifically being themed for WBR.
