The best news ticker?

I don't have cable and the local war coverage is starting to slack off. I'm looking for a news ticker or tickers, preferably something that I can just anchor at the top or bottom of my desktop. I already know of several, but if you can recommend a good one, please do.

Also, international news is a plus. I like to get information from more than one source when possible. I'd really love to get a foreign news stream right to my desktop (preferably in English).

I'd go sift through Yahoo and Google myself but I have to get off the PC for a while. Just post suggestions here.

Also, please, no nutty conspiracy theory websites. I just want a couple of newsgrabber programs to keep myself up to date on war events.

Thanks,
SpaceAce

LOL, yeah, but I've been wasting a lot of time here, lately. I want something I can just sort of keep an eye on while I work.

Drudge is a little to fringe for me. Mostly, though, I want a ticker instead of websites

np, i don't know if you've discovered it yet, but i couldn't get it to remain always on top and visible. If you drag it on the bbc bit you can get it to snap into the top bottom or side of your screen and be always visible.
