LONDEN (ANP) - De Britse publieke omroep gaat de komende jaren flink bezuinigen. De BBC maakte donderdag bekend de kosten over de komende drie jaar met ongeveer 10 procent te verlagen.

BBC-directeur Tim Davie, die in april bij de omroep vertrekt, lichtte de medewerkers donderdag in. "In een snel veranderende mediamarkt blijven we geconfronteerd worden met aanzienlijke financiële druk", citeert de BBC een woordvoerder. "Daarom verwachten we de komende drie jaar nog eens ongeveer 10 procent van onze kosten te besparen."

Een exact bedrag wordt niet genoemd, maar het gaat naar verwachting om honderden miljoenen ponden. De BBC schrijft dat de uitgaven vorig jaar meer dan 4 miljard pond (4,6 miljard euro) bedroegen. Het is nog niet bekend welke programma's of diensten door de bezuinigingen worden geraakt.

As you know, I love me some Lego engineering builds. This one is pretty fun: using a large syringe, a Raspberry Pi, neodymium magnets, a controller scavenged from a toy submarine, and a bunch of Lego pieces, Brick Experiment Channel built a remote-controlled submarine. And it works so well! They even tested it by navigating 200 meters in a real stream.
