I've heard this is due to the BBC policy forbidding them showing adverts to UK users, yet it's content regularly not freely accessible (without adverts) to UK users either, as its a separate entity. There's been several occasions that BBC worldwide has had articles that I've been unable to read, or find on the standard BBC news website.
