BBC或因在达沃斯私用无人机被罚

The BBC is facing a fine after its journalists were caught using a drone without authorisation during the Davos summit in January.

英国广播公司(BBC)目前正面临一项罚款。此前，BBC旗下新闻记者被查到在1月达沃斯(Davos)峰会期间未经许可使用了一架无人机。

Swiss authorities had implemented a no-fly zone with a radius of 25 nautical miles and monitored by fighter jets as part of security measures for the conference, which involves leading business figure and political leaders from around the world.

在世界各地政商领袖云集的达沃斯峰会召开期间，瑞士当局针对会议采取了多项安保措施，包括对以会场为中心、半径为25海里的区域实施禁飞，并派出战斗机实施监视。

Three journalists, working with the BBC’s chief business correspondent Linda Yueh, were questioned by police.

与BBC首席商业记者Linda Yueh共事的三名记者，受到了警方的问询。

“We can confirm that in Davos during the World Economic Forum a BBC team mistakenly took a drone into a no-fly zone area. Three members of staff were briefly questioned by police and it is still to be determined by the Swiss authorities if the BBC will pay a fine,” Britain’s public broadcaster said in a statement.

这家英国公共广播公司发表声明称，“我们可以确认，在达沃斯世界经济论坛(WEF)会议期间，一个BBC团队错误地让一架无人机进入了禁飞区。这三名员工受到了警方的简短问询，瑞士当局尚未裁定BBC是否将为此支付罚款。”

For broadcasters, the devices offer aerial footage of events, landscapes and natural disasters at a fraction of the cost of helicopter footage.

对于广播公司而言，无人机可以对事件、场景和自然灾难进行航拍，而成本仅为直升机航拍成本的几分之一。

The Davos incident is the second time in recent months that the BBC has run into problems with aerial footage. In August, the corporation was heavily criticised for using a helicopter to broadcast aerial footage of a police raid on a home owned by entertainer Cliff Richard. That story has since been nominated for Scoop of the Year at the Royal Television Society’s upcoming journalism awards.

达沃斯无人机事件，是近几个月来BBC第二次在航拍方面惹上麻烦。去年8月，BBC因为使用一架直升机航拍并播送警方对娱乐明星克利夫•理查德(Cliff Richard)一处房产的突击搜查而受到严厉批评。后来那次报道成为英国皇家电视协会(Royal Television Society)新闻奖之“年度独家新闻奖”的提名作品，不过该奖当时尚未颁奖。
