I really liked Vice's in-depth international coverage of Vice. With Trump tweet obsessed 24/7 news TV it's really easy to lose the big picture of everything else going on in the world.

Yes. I think they made a classic mistake of raising too much money, expanding too quickly and not staying hungry. VBS.TV and early VICE were good; at least before they moved their HQ, they were cratering.

I'd like to see much more of sustainable, non-profit journalism that only raises anonymous, no-strings donor money and subscriber donations to stay afloat because this is really the only way out of the ad-supported corporate MSM abandoned fourth estate hell.

The one part of Vice that was still amazing and worth every bit of our attention. Sad to see it go. I ask the question: do we need more Succesion and Billions at the expense of something actually worthwhile?

Billions is not on HBO.

Oh snap you're right, how have I never noticed that?? I mean my point stands about Succesion but I have to eat my words here about Billions.

Any recommendations for a 20-30 min daily international news program without advertisements?

Democracy Now Top U.S. & World News Headlines summary every weekday morning. Available on YouTube. Example: https://youtu.be/0X0-MpFZ-Ds

That's closer to opinion than news.

PBS Newshour, but it's weekly.

Patriot Act on Netflix/Youtube (25 min deep dives on a single topic such as the recent elections in India), but it's delivered in a semi-comedic way, which you might not like.

"Daily" would be tough, as it takes time, money and high quality editing to put out well-researched, unique quality content. There's a reason 24/7 news channels are mostly talking heads stretching out daily minutiae into hours-long segments and panel discussions.
