Strange ways of news broadcasters.

I'm sure most know the recent story of Ecclestone being indicted. Trawling youtube I found this piece of film.

1. What on earth is going on here?
2. Why repeat it over and over?

Interesting, but strange reporting. I can't help but notice how the commentary studiously ignores the pictures.
