Remembering September 11 on BBC World.

On the September 11,2003 is the 2 anniversary of the September 11,2001 Attacks on America and so can somebody please tell what kind of stuff will be on the BBC World News and what will be the Special opening sequence for Sept 11,2003 and the closeing sequence for the BBC World News?

Still here...see that door? It says LOG OUT....we wanted it painted 'EXIT' but it might confuse some people..

Um - the Antiques Roadshow is filming in Boston on September 11th...... might go see if I can get Michael Aspel's autograph and a photo.....

When the news broke (9.11.2001) we had Nisha on air and then Nik,followed by Philip Hayton.So knowing the coverage last year you may guess it'll be something similar.
I mean Martine Dennis,Nisha Pillai,Nik Gowing.They may put Mishal Husain in Washington again,as well as Jane Hill and Kirsty Lang in NY.It's just like we had it last year
ALL THESE , OF COURSE IS JUST A SPECULATION.JUST WAIT TILL 9/11 AND NO DOUBT YOU'LL GET A SENSE OF IT ALL

SO STAY TUNED ON BBC WORLD

Oh just FAQ OFF!

I dont think there will be anything on the scale of last years coverage - then a lot of what happened was still quite fresh and raw in peoples minds, and a lot has happenned since then - like the Iraq war which has cost a lot of money for the BBC and others to cover. Also bare in mind this September 11th, the Hutton thing will probably be about to wrap up, and there will be all the reaction to that, not to mention party conferences and stuff by then will be on. Found this though on the BBC World website of what they did in 2002:

Remembering September 11th – BBC World’s global coverage plans
News release
August 5th, 2002

BBC World, the BBC’s 24-hour international news and information television channel, will be providing extensive coverage from around the world to mark the first anniversary of the attacks on the US last September 11th.

Drawing on its unparalleled international network of correspondents and bureaux, BBC World will be anchoring the day’s main news output from New York with Jane Hill and Kirsty Lang both live from ‘Ground Zero’. Co-anchored news will come from Washington, the location of the BBC’s largest foreign news bureau and site of one of the attacks last September, while Lyse Doucet will provide the local perspective from Islamabad (or Kabul tbc) throughout the day.

BBC World will be providing a mix of September 11th - related news including coverage of live events, an interactive debate with viewers, the hard-hitting interview programme, Hardtalk with Tim Sebastian, as well as the channel’s regular business, sport and general news offering. BBC World will give viewers an international perspective with coverage from key locations around the world including Jon Sopel in Paris, Tristana Moore in Berlin, Orla Guerin in Jerusalem and Paul Wood in Cairo.

A new interactive segment hosted in London by BBC World news anchor, Nik Gowing, at key points during the day will allow viewers to send in their comments via e-mail, text message, telephone and fax. Using the BBC’s recently launched international-facing website www.bbcnews.com, viewers will be able to send in their comments and access in-depth analysis of the consequences of last year’s attacks.

In the fortnight running up to September 11th, BBC World will also air specially commissioned news features related to the US attacks. These will include a series of one to one interviews with world leaders, including Vladimir Putin

If there is any type of special 'commemorative' ceremony then I wont be pleased. How many times must we lament the passing of American citizens, when no such fanfare has been organised for the countries flattened by them since.

Sorry, had to get that off my chest.

That is all true. Had a similar thing happened anywhere else in the world, I can't imagine the American networks all creating news specials, and new titles and deploying anchors.

Same with the power cuts a couple of weeks ago in America. Every neews channels here carried the Breaking News, running through TOTH, for this as their top story. Had there been a powercut in Birmingham, Cardiff and that area of the UK, I can't imagine any news channel from America even bothering.

That's pretty right

Well they were pretty big - I'm sure if the whole of Scotland had gone off or something it would have been on.

I really hope they don't whine on about it again - I'm sick the it.

Oh well, we've just had a major power cut in the capitol and the South east, affecting all transport - are any American networks interupting now?

I'm sure the American channels will do something, I wouldn't expect anyone else to. Sept 11th is now 2 years in the past, the prominent 'this time last year' anniversary has come and gone, there's really not much left to say on it and no justification at all to go overboard on the 2nd anniversary (although no doubt the Americans will)
