The BBC has introduced a paywall for people looking at parts of its website from the United States.
US-based visitors to BBC.com will now have to pay $49.99 (£36) a year or $8.99 (£6.50) a month for access to most BBC News stories and features, and to stream the BBC News channel.
Those who do not pay will still have ad-supported access to selected global breaking news stories, BBC Radio 4 and the World Service, as well as its language services and some newsletters and podcasts.
Rebecca Glashow, CEO of BBC Studios Global Media & Streaming, described the move as a "major milestone" that would "unlock new opportunities for growth".
There will be no changes for the BBC's UK audiences or for those elsewhere around the world.
