The BBC wouldn't have been privy to the first hand information. They do almost no investigative journalism at all these days. They get almost all their info from AP or Reuters as do the dailies.
AP and Reuters do not investigate whether what they publish is factually correct but merely that it is accurately reported. The difference between the two is what makes modern churnalism pointless.
The main exception to this is the Mail which does do it's own investigating but only publishes that which fits its own agenda - regardless of whether it's true.
Just finished reading Flat Earth News which was a bit of an eyeopener TBH. Although I didn't agree with all of it.
