I regularly read the news on this app. However I don't seem to be able to access the international news. On the options, for international, I get a sort of red "no entry" sign.

Anybody know how I can get round this?

Thanks

I can't see an option for 'International'. Can get World News ok.

Just done a bit of fiddling around and found this: on the BBC News app, click on "edit" at the very top of the page. You'll see a list of categories. Click on which you want made viewable (in my case "World"). Oddly when "delete" shows up and you click on it, it moves to the "accepted" paragraph below that list.

Hope I made sense as couldn't think how best to describe this feature!

It's not an 'accepted' list.

When it edit mode, the categories in the top section with the red delete icons next to them are the categories that will appear as the swipe and tap story bars that show you a picture and the headline.

The categories in the lower section are the categories that are only viewable in landscape view. You have to swipe up on the story bars to reveal this list of categories under the 'More' heading. These categories can be added to the list of featured categories at the top by tapping the green + symbols.

If you had 'World' in the top section then the world stories would have shown in the top section on the story bars.
