The hajj - what the BBC do tell us and what they don't

The BBC report the sob story that poor people can't afford expensive foreign trips thus: 'Are British Muslims being priced out of pilgrimages?'

Meanwhile I can find no record on the BBC of what the days of prayer and meditation on the hajj had resulted in. ABNA is more forthcoming:

'God is the Greatest', 'Death to Israel', and 'Death to America', were among slogans chanted by the masses in unison as they gathered in the Desert of Arafat, 20 kms (12 miles) from Mecca, for a day of prayer and meditation.'

The BBC always happy to portray Muslims as the poor victims, less willing to report less comfortable facts.
