2 articles · Updated · BBC.com · Jun 11

Summary

  • BBC News published a new weekly quiz asking readers how closely they followed major global events from the past seven days.
  • One featured question asks which Sesame Street character got in trouble with New Yorkers, framing the quiz around lighter and harder-to-spot headlines.
  • The roundup also points to several prominent stories from the week, including tributes to actor Anthony Stewart Head, who died at 72, criticism from US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth over migration, and Peter Phillips' marriage.
  • BBC linked the feature to last week's edition and archive quizzes, positioning it as a recurring reader-engagement format built around the previous 7 days of news.
