World News You Won't Hear Elsewhere, February 17, 2006
Reviewer: LOLDavid
from Los Angeles, California
Here's some hard hitting global news from BBC that you don't hear for the most part from American news outlets. It's from correspondents that have an intimate connection to political hotspots all over the planet. All the warfare and humanitarian crises are quite depressing, but I feel it's important to keep informed on these issues. The stories are very interesting and they interview people directly involved in what is going on.
