Congratulations to the BBC's World Service Group, returning a record "Global Audience Estimate" for the past twelve months, at 265 million users a week (around 3.7% of the world's estimated population in 2013). The trajectory towards the DG's target of 500m by 2022 is still looking tricky, especially if you go back a few years. How will the international specialists fare in James Harding's cuts next month ?
