This programme was broadcast from Studio E, which has the BBC newsroom as its backdrop, and it is normal to see staff in the background of news reports. No-one’s actions in the newsroom were intended to cause any distraction, nor to give any offence, during the BBC News specials.
Unless I'm misreading it, the complaint here doesn't appear to be about the selfie incident, but rather, the mere presence of staff in the newsroom at all!
