I think that pages which are named "News" on the internet are usually assumed to be news of the site in question, not the "external world" as it may be.
My only problem with Current Events, besides the fact that there is already such a page, is that in U.S. education at the primary/secondary level, "Current Events" is always a tedious session of children giving reports on news articles to the class (at least it was throughout my education). As such it rubs me the wrong way, and might rub others the wrong way. Or maybe it's exactly what we want. Hmm. Well, anyway, I don't think the name matters much, so long as it has a different acronym (I certainly don't feel strongly about it, anyway). I'd almost prefer "Recent News" or even "Recent Events"... but anyway, it's not a big deal either way.

How about just "News"? That's all Britannica uses on their front page.
