There'll be some scrambling around at BBC World Service over the next week. Just as a range of language staff are about to move out of the door, the government has awarded a one-off payment of £20m The Extremely Cleverly View "The money is being provided to protect all 42 World Service language services over the next 2 years, support English-language broadcasting, and counter disinformation".
Unfortunately, World Service is close to implementing cuts of somewhere between £28m and £30m in 2023/4.
