France’s first international news channel has been launched into competition with BBC World and CNN.

France 24 was unveiled on the internet at on Wednesday evening, and will launch on satellite and cable TV 24 hours later.

The channel has the backing of French President Jacques Chirac, who despaired at the lack of an outlet for French views in the run up to war in Iraq.

But some critics have complained it has insufficient funding to compete.
