    British telecoms giant BT is to axe around 13,000 jobs over three years as it aims to cut costs


    The company says the job losses will mainly affect back office and middle management roles. There are also plans to exit the BT headquarters in central London.

    It comes as BT looks to cut costs by around 1.5 billionpounds by the third year of its revamped strategic plan.

    But the company also says it will be hiring around 6000 new employees "to support network deployment and customer service".
