I think people are misunderstanding "rights". BBC World doesn't have "global rights" - it has rights to broadcast on it's channel, which is not the same thing. (BBC World doesn't broadcast to the UK - and thus isn't global anyway...)
BBC World almost certainly subscribes to a sports news service and this subscription only covers rights to show these pictures on BBC World (and the amount it pays will be influenced by the territories it broadcasts to and the audience levels) - not BBC One News or News 24 - each of which would require different subscriptions (as they are different channels with different audience levels).
On top of that the rights for individual events will differ based on where you are broadcasting TO. BBC World doesn't broadcast to the UK, so will have a different relationship with regard to the rights to prominent UK sporting events compared with BBC One/BBC Two (almost always negotiated as a generic "BBC Domestic bulletin" deal) or BBC News 24.
It is a two-way street - BBC World may have better picture access to some events than BBC One/Two News and BBC News 24 whereas, other events may be easy for BBC One/Two and News 24 to cover, but BBC World may have little or no access. (Historically the Olympics was one of the latter)
This isn't just the case for sporting events - some of the newswire showbiz feeds are restricted to certain BBC outlets (say Breakfast, Entertainment loops etc.) and use on other shows would breach the rights agreements.

Perhaps they could invest in that, surely that would be more economical? In the long run that is. Also seeing as its BBC "World" doesnt that suggest global rights to videos used in the programme
