World news is used to keep us in touch with the happenings around the world. If we did not have world news we would not know about things that were going on in other countries. Are for that matter what is going on in our own government. If not for world news we would not know what was happening in Iraq and the war with our soldiers. It is hard to listen to some of the news at times when they are reporting tragedy. But it is important to us to hear about the good things that hare happening. If you are planning on going to another country on vacation it is great to be able to get the world news about the country.
