Bbc News Website

I am having problems trying to bring up the BBC News website page ::

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/

I keep getting a Error 500.

I had a struggle a few minutes ago. I just persisted and eventually got it. I wonder if it's just busy this morning with floods/NY Honours etc.

OK...the problem must be their side then.

Have a look here mikey. Internal server problem. Not serious but annoying.

[mikey4444]

Togo....thanks, but I guess it must be intermittent, as I have been able to access the BBC earlier this morning, although it went again.

Thanks Zacs.

Yes it is down.
I used a website test app and the BBCs site history showed no responses for several minutes.

nah ... other news outlets are available (usually faster with up to date news too)

[Jomlett]

The BBC’s breaking news Twitter account said that its website was “currently experiencing some technical issues”. It said that its team was “working as quickly as possible to resolve them”.
