World Service to launch weekly current affairs format<\/a>
The BBC World Service is planning a new weekly current affairs programme, launching on BBC Two from Monday 8 September at 7pm.
Global Eye will showcase stories from around the world, present forensic journalism from BBC Eye, the BBC World Service\u2019s critically acclaimed investigative unit, and feature reports from our global teams.
From Mumbai to Seoul, Damascus and Abuja, each programme will be anchored by an alternating roster of the BBC\u2019s global correspondents, including from across the BBC World Service\u2019s 43 language services.
BBC Eye documentaries have delved into some of the biggest issues on the planet: from international drug trafficking to extrajudicial killings, Africa\u2019s deadliest migration routes and extremist settlers in the West Bank.
Jonathan Munro, Deputy CEO and Global Director, BBC News says: \u201cFor the first time the BBC will host the brilliance of the BBC World Service in a dedicated peak time format for BBC Two. I\u2019m thrilled that Global Eye will bring the breadth of BBC World Service journalism and the incredible work of our international teams to UK audiences.
\u201cWe\u2019re in a unique position, with journalists based around the world, to provide audiences with expertise and insight on-the-ground, from the communities we serve, alongside the very best investigative reporting.\u201d
Liz Gibbons, Executive Editor, Global Eye, says: \u201cBBC Eye has been incredibly popular with audiences internationally, and our investigations lead to tangible impacts, from legislative changes to arrests for wrongdoing, from raising awareness of issues to hearing new voices.
\u201cBBC Eye has a well-established reputation for uncovering stories that have yet to be told, holding power to account and investigating injustice, and we\u2019re delighted to be bringing those stories to peak time on BBC Two.\u201d
BBC Eye and BBC Storyville\u2019s Life and Death in Gaza was the recipient of a BAFTA TV award in 2025, while both Gaza 101 and Disciples: The Cult of TB Joshua won Royal Television Society awards in 2024. Other investigations by BBC Eye have gone on to win International Emmys and Peabody Awards.
BBC News remains the most trusted news provider internationally and last year grew its global audience to reach 418 million people around the world each week
Global Eye is executive produced by Vara Szajkowski.
Global Eye will air weekly on BBC Two and BBC iPlayer at 7pm from Monday 8 September.
