What remains to be seen is how much of the BBC World Service will be left after the dust settles.  It's hard to imagine that the BBC is going to want to spend a lot of money on the World Service.

What was interesting is that as recently as last week, the DfID was
deemed likely to fund a greater portion of the World Service in the
years ahead.

Much of "Newshour" on Tuesday looked at the consequences of shifting
funding to the Licence Fee instead of the Foreign & Commonwealth
Office.
