Important to keep in mind that Al Jazeera is not representative of the Middle East. While they have some of the most detailed coverage of the Middle East, it is from a Qatari bias. It's not representative and sometimes in contrast with other Middle Eastern adjacent states like Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and Iran.

BBC News is approximately the British government's perspective. There is constant pressure on them to not upset the government, lest their funding be cut, and it shows in their reporting. It's only reliable for issues for which the British government could have no possible interest, basically countries outside of UK, Europe and US.

  BBC is not reliable as a news source for all countries where the British government is involved in. Example is the fake staged news on Douma Syria chemical attack which they eventually walked back on. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9958679/BBC-admits-Syria-gas-attack-report-flaws-complaint-Peter-Hitchens.html https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9958679/BBC-admits-... https://www.manilatimes.net/2021/09/19/opinion/columns/bbc-admits-fake-news-syria-did-not-gas-its-people/1815246 https://www.manilatimes.net/2021/09/19/opinion/columns/bbc-a... There are so many numerous more including WMDs in Iraq, Libya bombing pretext etc. All news is a mouthpiece of their owners, sponsors or those that grant "access" and privilege to. Read from as many diverse sources as possible and never forget the Gell-Mann Amnesia Effect (pun not intended).
