The bl**dy Tory Govt. under Cameron forced the BBC to take on stuff like the free 75+ TV licence. Net result the Beeb is cutting back on those employed in the news gathering area. And that is bad news for us all.
And if that was not bad enough there is also the World Service, trusted and listened to by so many all over the world.
Wiki has it better than I could write it:
The World Service is funded by the United Kingdom's television licence fee, limited advertising and the profits of BBC Studios. The service is also guaranteed £289 million (allocated over a five-year period ending in 2020) from the UK government. The World Service was funded for decades by grant-in-aid through the Foreign and Commonwealth Office of the British Government until 1 April 2014.
