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.
