BBC does not make it easy to find its news videos. For example, there is no
separate BBC News video page. Instead, to view a BBC video, users must go to any
News Online page and click the "Watch BBC news in video" or "Latest news in video
and audio" button at the top of the page. This opens a new window where users can
select from a list of current videos by news topic: headline, UK, business, politics,
health, etc. The videos play in the same window using either RealPlayer (preferred)
or Windows Media Player. Another option is BBC News 24, constantly updated
national and international headlines. The best way to find BBC videos is using a
third-party site such as Yahoo Video Search, which offers a search by source option.
In May the BBC announced it was opening its news archives, but only for users in
the UK. If you are in the UK, "You can download nearly 80 news reports covering
iconic events of the past 50 years lncludinq the fall of the Berlin Wall, crowds
ejecting soldiers from Beijing's Tiananmen Square and behind-the-scenes footage of
the England team prior to their victory over West Germany in 1966."
