Beeple's Robot Dogs With Faces of Musk, Bezos, Zuckerberg Explore AI's Grip on Perception at Berlin Museum

BBC head of sport Alex Kay-Jelski said the decision was made before last week's £500m savings announcement. Regular presenter Alex Scott will remain with the BBC and cover next year's Women's World Cup in Brazil.
