BBC plans online News 24

The BBC is to stream News 24 on the internet but may face a problem over online sports rights.

Viewers can already download News 24 clips and programmes such as Hard Talk. They can also watch the BBC1's three main news programmes as well as a constantly updated three-minute bulletin over the web.

The new 24-hour web broadcast will be tailored so that it can only be accessed by users from within the UK.

However, the BBC does not own the online rights to some of the footage used in its sports bulletins.

A BBC News spokesman said discussions were taking place in a bid to resolve the issue. If the BBC was unable to obtain the online rights, the sporting action would be edited out of the online broadcast.

Bogatin bought five condos from Trump at that meeting. Those condos were...
