@bassel_doueik @BBCArabic The BBC language services used to be funded by the Foreign Office ("soft power") but that ended some time ago, so they had to be paid for from the UK licence fee, i.e. the domestic services, which are under mounting financial pressure. Cuts had to be made and this was one of them
