For years, BBC and VOA are the mouthpiece of British and American governments to broadcast the news and opinions to the world in English and other languages to the worldwide audience.
VOA Learning English is the pioneer for listeners/readers who want to learn English. English is simplified, not using complex structure and spoken slower than normal. About 20 years ago, I compiled VOA English from its website featuring both text and speech versions and put in CD-ROM and given it for free about 100 recipients who request it.
For the last few years with broadband and 4G, VOA now broacast news and English learning in video format, easy for worldwide audience to get access to here:
