I have seen the “World News” banner much (if not all of the time), and it does not feel like it is being targeted for American consumption, so I assume it is what most of the world gets. BBCA is not all Ukraine 24/7 (just now they have an hour show on about cinema, focused on Berlin Film Festival). MSNBC, at least when I checked late last night/early this am, made what much have been a tough decision for them to preempt their true crime shows for live coverage.
