This week on Over To You, Rajan Datar looks at the future of the World Service in the wake of this week’s changes in the way the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ is funded.

He asks Sir Michael Lyons, the chairman of the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ’s governing body, the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Trust, whether he’s confident about the future of the World Service.

And he talks to the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ’s media correspondent, Torin Douglas, to find out how the difficult decisions are made as to which programmes and services should be cut.

And Rajan also talks to a former head of the British Army, General Sir Richard Dannatt, who reflects on the role that the World Service plays in conflict zones around the world.

That’s on Over To You with Rajan Datar on the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ World Service.
