I previously watched RAI news live via Youtube, but a week or two ago that stopped and a "you can't watch this in your country" type message popped up.

So I went to Sky News. That lasted a week. Now I cannot get that either.

I can now only get some sort of fringe live news channel.

Anyone have any idea why this is happening, and how to resolve it?

TIA.

I've considered a VPN, but there is a cost attached obvs. If I were to do that, Nord?

It seems that Revolut offers it. I am a Revolut customer, but to upgrade to the version with free Nord appears to be £8 pcm. So not THAT free.

Try Proton VPN - you can use it for free.
What's the saying?: If you aren't paying for the product, you ARE the product. Does that apply here?

Can you post a link to one of the things that you can no longer watch? I can't see a Rai News live feed on YouTube and the Sky News live feed on YT appears to work fine for me.

I cannot now find Rai news on YT. But here it is on Raiplay: https://www.raiplay.it/dirette/rainews24

I gave in and bought Nord for 2 years.

I am now connected via Rome and have access to Sky and Rai.

Nord is 3pcm
That is what I have paid,

I was hoping it would also give Youtube the opportunity to give me a discount, when I am in Ukraine. But it seems they are all over that now, even when I am at Volod's house.
