The BBC has announced a landmark deal with YouTube, which will see the corporation make content that is tailor-made for the video streaming service.

The new move will see the BBC make content primarily aimed at YouTube's digital-native younger audience, although it may also be made available on the BBC's iPlayer and Sounds platforms.

All new programmes will feature adverts when viewed from outside the UK, generating extra funds for the corporation.

The content will include a mixture of entertainment, documentaries, children's channels, news and sport - starting with the Winter Olympics in February.
