Does anyone here believe the allegations? I have heard and read similar accounts many times, so I think I have a pretty good idea of what is supposed to have happened, but I seriously do not think they are likely. And further more, if they were true I honestly would not care. What about anyone else?
As it doesn't air in the UK, has BBC World reported the details of the allegations?
It doesn't officially air in the UK (except for the simulcasts with BBC1, News 24 and BBC4), but as it is possible to view BBC World in the UK, I would have thought not.

You're right, they've just followed the rest of the BBC policy and not revealed any details.

I'd be certain that they are not allowed to report on this, as it is a British News Organisation, though it's transmitting to everywhere around the world except the UK they're still not allowed to. Plus with the BBC being the big national broadcaster they wouldn't be allowed to get away with it, plus the BBC has been tough in the past with this sort of thing, as they didn't name John Leslie at all through the Rape Scandal while every other broadcaster and newspaper did, so I assume in this case the BBC has to keep up to its standards. Plus if they did reveal information this wouldn't be good press for Auntie, plus the relationship between the Royals and the BBC is low, as everything the royal family does on TV seems to be done or priority is given to ITN.
Though as it is a British company they're just not allowed to anyway, where as Fox are as they pure American. Though sooner or later everyone will know what has happened anyway.
Fox News won't have breached the court order. They might well broadcast to the UK, but they broadcast
from
the USA - such court orders only cover newspapers, magazines and websites published in, and television broadcasts from, the UK (more specifically England and Wales).
Since BBC World is broadcast from the UK (though not necessarily to it), it must comply with the court order.

The trouble is, Fox News Channel has to hold a UK licence to broadcast here - which I would suspect means they are in some degree accountable for said error.

Not strictly true. American public figures have sucessfully sued US magazines with a significant UK circulation after proving they have a reputation to uphold over here...
So Fox COULD be sued if it was proven a lot of people were watching in the UK at the time. However, because any such court case would bring more publicity to the allegations in this situation the Judge would probably rule any significant compensation out if any was awarded by a jury.
