They're busy killing illegals in South Africa. The BBC goes all out to emphasize that this is "xenophobia", trying desperately to get everyone to associate such behaviour with ignorance and unreason, hoping that the scorn of Europeans will suffice to shame Africans into submission. Of course, there's absolutely nothing "xenophobic" about this. Nothing "phobic", even. It's a completely rational, self-interested reaction. This is an example of the poor having an inconvenient amount of education. They know enough economics to understand that open borders keep the labour market effectively bottomless, so that even if they're able to get jobs, they have no leverage to insist on better pay or working conditions. That's what fuels this. And, of course, there's no ready solution, since an open labour market is at the heart of the globalist economic agenda.

Off your specific topic, but for some time, I've been bothered by a lack of UK news on the BBC website. I go there looking for news about Brexit, or some other domestic issue, and the headlines are almost always something about Trump, US entertainment stars, and US sport. I have to imagine this is tailored to people visiting the site from US IP addresses, because otherwise, it makes no sense to me for the 'British' Broadcasting Company to back-page its own national news in this manner. But honestly, why would a typical American go to the BBC to read American news? Wouldn't most instead go there to read about what's going on in the UK, as I do?

Consequently, I now go to the Sky website to read British news. There's still some US-centric content there, of course, but at least Brexit is front page on Sky, not buried deep in American nonsense like it always seems to be on the Beeb.
