Sky News is one of the world's premier news gathering organisations, so whether you want to catch the latest from U.S. President Barak Obama, or the latest financial plan from Chancellor Alistair Darling in the U.K., or indeed, news from closer to your home, then look no further.

Sky News organises its coverage of affairs into various categories, including U.K. News, World News, Business, Politics, Showbiz, Technology and 'strange' news. There are also regular weather updates.

And the world leading news service focuses on breaking news, as it happens, as special news features, examing the main issues of the day.

Take the coverage on the G20 Summit, which saw the world leaders congregate on the U.K.'s capital London for discussions about, amongst other things, the state of the global economy. Sky News cameras were there to record all the day's events as they happened.

On the day Sky News also reports around the subject, offering in-depth news and analysis.

For example, they reported that French Prime Minister Nicolas Sarkozy told a French radio station that he was standing firm, alongside Germany, that they were not happy with many of the proposals being discussed at the G20 summit, mainly related to the plans for solving the current financial crisis. Whereas the U.K. and the U.S might agree that drastic action is needed to revive jobs and get people spending again, France and Germany disagree, and Mr Sarkozy was reported to even have thought about walking out of the summit if things did not go his way.

The German Chancellor Mrs Merkel told Sky News that she backed her French counterpart's beliefs, saying: "What the French president has in view is that we should not dodge and make feeble compromises on the financial market constitution of the future. I support him there."

But Mrs Merkel made it clear to Sky News that she would not be walking out of the summit, as Mr Sarkosy had threatened.

Other top Sky News stories included MPs Expenses which moved on from the revelations that a Government minister inadvertently claimed the cost of porn movies on her expenses account, to news that a 'mole' in Whitehall was offering expense claims, plus receipts, for sale to the national media. And they reckoned the asking price was in the region of £300,000.

So if you want to keep abreast of what is happening on a daily basis, either international, nationally, or locally, then turn to Sky News for the latest.
