What are some good sites to get international news from that are written in English?

Question

I have looked at dawn.com which is similar to cnn but comes out of Pakistan. I am looking for similar sites due to the fact that American sites put such a spin on things that the reality of what goes on in the world is blurred and distorted to the point that its not even worth watching or reading. I'm looking for European, China, Mideast, France, England, Australia and any other major areas of the World.

I DO NOT WANT CNN OR FOX OR MSNBC sites or anything else based in america, so please answer with legitimate foreign news sites which can be read in English.

Thank you.

Answer 1

bbc.co.uk, aljazeera.com, stuff.co.nz (joint print media site)

in reverse order are my usual starting places.
