The BBC does some good stuff, but their entire news division is pretty awful. It has a strong transphobic streak, a strong monarchist bias, and sides with committers of genocide.

Also, back around 2004–2010 when it was one of few options I would regularly watch, BBC World just seemed so far up its own arse. You'd spend almost as much time watching dramatic count downs or hearing really snobbish declarations of what the show is about as you would actual news. I'm doubtful that it's changed much.
