the bbc agrees. meanwhile, the government says the free licence fees for everyone over 75 should continue and the bbc should pay. but today's report says the bbc can't afford it and that the government will have to step in to help fund it. david sillito, bbc news. we will have more on this story with damian collins and also chris curtis from broadcast. more now on one of our main stories. fears are growing of a humanitarian crisis in northern syria. tens of thousands of people have fled their homes after turkey began attacking kurdish forces. there's been international condemnation of the military action, but turkey says it's trying to create a "safe zone" for syrian refugees. let's go live now to our correspondent martin patience who's on the turkey/syria border. what signs are you seeing of the intensification of this fighting? what we are seeing in the past half an hourorso is what we are seeing in the past half an hour or so is continued turkish shelling into syria with the bourdy area behind me.

for both government and the bbc. one says, i do not receive benefits because i'm a fraction below that threshold. if pensioners have to pay for a licence, i would need to sell my tv. i am struggling to manage at the moment. anon on text: i am on pension credit but would be prepared to pay a contribution to a tv licence for bbc only partly because of the quality but equally the relief from annoying ads in my face. liam on text, put ads on the bbc and problem solved. license needs scrapping. outdated old boys club. if the treasury pays working people will be paying twice. tv licence concessions should be means—tested and not free for wealthy pensioners! why should a working family on a low income pay for a pensioner to sit at home watching tv! let us know your thoughts but we could go straight to oslo and the announcement of the nobel peace prize. piece does not arise from the actions of one party alone —— peace when prime minister kepa reached out his hand, the president grabbed it and helped to formalise the pe

bbc political editor laura kuenssberg on thursday evening. for some time as we have found out newswatch there has been a weariness in the viewers' reaction to coverage like that and we have seen more of it this week. among those who have been in touch is andrew: there are phases where nothing happens, and during these phases, the bbc should respond... andrew's sentiment was shared by this caller to the newswatch phone line. well, i am trying to watch bbc news but there really isn't any news, is there? brexit, brexit, brexit, brexit. may one hope that once the day is past we have a moratorium on brexit news or even perhaps a better idea would be we have a channel that deals purely with brexit then i could switch over and find some world news. that would be great fun, wouldn't it? funny you should say that. the idea of a channel devoted entirely to brexit may not appeal to many. sky news has created the opposite which would perhaps delight that caller, a brexit free zone. sky says it has been listening to public opinion and as a result the new

shows like bbc spotlgiht — and inside out for that matter — are a hit with older bbc viewers. you're a loyal audience. and until now the government has paid for the over 755 to have free tv licences. not any more. when the licence fee was renegotiated in 2015, responsibility for free licenses was turned over to bbc bosses. and they've decided most older pensioners are going to have to pay. don't switch us off! it's getting a bad rating. don't switch us off, don't switch us off. don't switch us off, don't switch us off. we've got to win this one because if they get away with this, what are they going to go after then? you tell us what they'll go after. go after then? they'll go after every benefit that's going. i would refuse to pay, on principle. i don't mind getting into trouble. the other half would be well pleased, i imagine, me being banged up for a while! it might not be what listeners want to hear, but the bbc says if it paid the licence fee for all over 755 it would cost hundreds of millions of pounds and it says that would mean drastic cut backs. and not just to tv sho
