## BBC: World News & Stories Reviews in Sri Lanka

### *---- "Need horizontal listing of topics as before"
As before need horizontal view . So we can glance over all the topics in one go
-- dupun, 2020-10-22

### ***-- "Bias and only chosen themes."
When it comes to the world news it is always news that will affect western word only being broadcast. Then there is a sub heading only for India and China but again those articles are there under Asia. Does reflect any news on Sri Lanka, probably because there is no economic value or relevance to Uk. But there were elephant killing and other news but only about very brief statements. I can’t remember reading any topic on Sri Lanka where as some travail topics on India is being lengthly discussed. So it is BBC only to cater interests of UK rather than world news service.
