Why is BBC News showing me the opening ceremony of a £1billion hotel in Dubai?

I’m not one to baulk every time something vaguely frivolous makes the news agenda - I was fascinated by Sachsgate - but really, surely there is something more interesting/important/entertaining going on in the world than a bloody big fireworks display for rich ex-pats in the UAE?

BBC…public service broadcaster…not give undue prominence to commercial enterprises…*ahem*.
