Does the BBC have the rights to show it because it's also on the international feed...Yes they can show live footage of an event which BBC Sport is a broadcast rights holder.
IIRC they rarely take live feeds from tournaments on WN's Sport Today before the merger due to rights issues, though it was pretty common during Sportsday and the sport bulletins on the NC since it's UK only.
And also, as I mentioned last week, for the benefit of the international audience, they can now show footage of a non-BBC televised sporting event accrediting the UK broadcaster of the event and the rights holder (for example, last Saturday's Grand National footage was "courtesy of ITV Sport/HRA".
