We know how important it is for you to access news on YouTube: Since February 1, there have been over 90,000 videos relating to the Ukraine protests uploaded to YouTube and these have been viewed more than 25 million times from around the world. We’re proud of our partners—from citizen journalists to news organizations to made-for-digital news brands—who work to provide the YouTube community with up-to-date news and information.
One of the many outlets that has been chronicling the events has been VICE News, a newly launched international news channel on YouTube. VICE News keeps you up to date, whether you want to know what’s going on in the Ukraine, watch protests unfold in Venezuela, or are looking for a global daily news update that takes you "Beyond the Headlines" of your morning paper.
VICE News will bring you stories on a range of issues, from the effects of toxic waste in Chicago to the ongoing conflict with Mexico’s Knights Templar drug cartel. You’ll get a frank look at the news of the day from the team that’s gone behind closed borders and embedded themselves inside the Afghan National Army. And you can choose how to stay up to speed, whether you want to follow raw events via live stream, or just get a daily "capsule." Subscribe to the VICE News channel here:

More love for playlists and a new look for YouTube
The way you watch YouTube keeps changing, so we’re making a few tweaks to YouTube to keep up with you. Starting today you’ll see some changes to make it easier to find what you want to watch on YouTube and collect playlists to watch again and again.
Like a playlist, watch it from anywhere
Want to quickly find your playlists or save Aloe Blacc’s favorite music videos playlist? Your guide now has all of the playlists that you created, as well as playlists from other channels you liked. If you make a playlist, you’ll also see a new page that makes editing easier. And if you’re looking for new playlists to check out from your favorite channels, check out the new playlist tab on a channel like this one from YouTube Nation.
We moved!
YouTube now has a center-aligned look, fitting neatly on any screen size, and feeling similar to the mobile apps you’re spending almost half your YouTube time with. You can quickly flip between what’s recommended and popular in “What to Watch” like Postmodern Jukebox’s Timber, and the latest from your subscribed channels like iamOTHER in “My Subscriptions,” with both options now front and center. Click the guide icon to the right of the YouTube logo at any time to see your playlists, subscriptions and more.
To learn more, please visit the Help Center.
