My dad watches Asian news channels.
They are not broadcasted in UK/EU. They are on Android app which he mirrors/streams it to TV.

If he watches them as catch-up i.e. not at the time of the original broadcast then no Licence is required.If he watches them at the same time as their original broadcast then TV Licensing say a Licence is required. There is some doubt about the accuracy of their advice (and it used to be different).1
