The BBC World Service is to close five of its language services.
The Macedonian, Albanian and Serbian services will be axed, as well as English for the Caribbean and Portuguese for Africa.
The move is aimed at saving the BBC World Service 46 million British pounds per year.
The positions of 650 workers are also reportedly to be made redundant as part of the cost cutting measures.
