BBC’s obvious anti-Israel stance calls all other BBC's reporting into question. It's playing into th hands of Tr*mp +th likes of "it": educated ppl r destroying thmslvs. "Left" has turned right-wing: multiplying views of HAMMAS supporters.

As expected unbias world class journalism covering important topics of the day. A must listen every day to stay informed.

I used to think BBC news was a non biased source of the news & would get my world news from them, but since the Gaza-Israeli conflict they have been extremely one sided for Israel. Disappointing. Journalism should report the whole story.

Better coverage of world events than US shows I've found. Usually includes a positive story at the end, which I find really helpful

I enjoy this podcast and have listened for years. However, lately it often feels like an infomercial about UK achievement. The UK is wonderful and continues to be a great nation. But BBC, please put more "Global" back into your podcast.

One of the unbiased media who delivers news as l exactly as what's going on in place.
Thank you and please don't let the upscale politics contaminate the true journalism.

It's good, but it seems like they focus heavily on US-centric news for the most part, which there are plenty of shows about

It is useful for learning English. Some stories are lengthy and boring. It becomes better if it plays a sound when goes to next story.
Reasonably informative
Feb 16, 2020
World news is mostly Trump. Some countries are treated very kindly and others with derision. The obvious bias is embarrassing
