The channel launched as BBC News 24 on 9 November 1997 at 17:30 as part of the BBC's foray into digital domestic television channels, becoming the first competitor to Sky News, which had been running since 1989. For a time, looped news, sport and weather bulletins were available to view via BBC Red Button.
On 22 February 2006, the channel was named News Channel of the Year at the Royal Television Society Television Journalism Awards for the first time in its history. The judges remarked that this was the year that the channel had "really come into its own."
From May 2007, UK viewers could watch the channel via the BBC News website. In April 2008, the channel was renamed BBC News as part of a £550,000 rebranding of the BBC's news output, complete with a new studio and presentation. Its sister service, BBC World was also renamed BBC World News while the national news bulletins became BBC News at One, BBC News at Six and BBC News at Ten. Across the day the channel averages about twice the audience of Sky News.

Boris Johnson survives leadership vote but 41% of his MPs have “no confidence” - BBC News
The British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has survived a vote of no confidence in his leadership but failed to win the backing of a large number of his own members of Parliament.
More than 41% of Conservative MPs refused to support him remaining as Prime Minister and voted to declare they had "no confidence" in his leadership.
211 Tory MPs supported the Prime Minister while 148 voted against him.
The result means Mr Johnson will remain in office but with seriously weakened authority.

More French anti-government protests over pension reforms - BBC News
Protests have continued in several French cities after President Emmanuel Macron used executive powers to push through a pension reform without a vote in Parliament.
The French government has narrowly survived a vote of no-confidence after a special constitutional power, called Article 49:3, was used to push the bill through last week.
Over the past week more than 1,500 protests have taken place all over the country.
The reforms mean the retirement age in the country would be raised from 62 to 64.
