  The proper link is http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/7667940.stm but the only way I know to insert a clip like that is thru the use of VodPod.

  Also, be aware that most (all?) of the BBC video is only available to people in the UK. If your blog has a wider readership, they won’t be able to play the BBC videos.

  I’m based in spain and can watch the videos. I believe that only happens in you stick to the UK sight, on the international it seems ok. But I will keep that in mind.

  I’ll look into it.

  When I was in the US a few months ago, I couldn’t watch BBC video. But it may be that they’ve changed their settings.
