Re: the loss of BBC World (and the stages of grief/accepting the reality), that, a tragedy itself...............................

And all of this has been the choice of the Conservative UK Governments since 2010.

It's not just the real terms cuts to the license fee since 2010, but also forcing the BBC to take on the cost of providing free TV licenses for over 75s from a diminished license fee, and forcing the BBC to take on the cost of running the World Service out of the diminished license fee, by ending it's foreign office budget allocation. 
All of this taken together, you can see why there's no money left, and why the commercial news channel has taken over the license fee funded channel. As well as BBC News being hollowed out, Local radio is also being decimated, TV drama series are not as long as they once were. I'm sure there's lots I've left out.

Many would say all this sustained attack on the BBC over the last 13 years has been deliberate.
