BBC World News blocked in Syria

Summary:
BBC world news is being blocked in Syria due to BBC violating the international TV regulations, but is unclear who blocked it and it is happening deliberately as was spoken by Jon Williams, a corporation’s foreign editor.  The interferences have happened since Wednesday to many other broadcasters as well. It is happening due to the uprising of the President Bashar al-Assad  as it is Syria is becoming a more dangerous and risky country day by day.  In a fortnight a lot of people have been killed as pro-government TV station and a Ukrainian Journalist working for a Russian outlet.
Opinion:
My opinion of the BBC being blocked is that they have been blocked as they may have found some vulnerable information out in which the new president didn't want getting out and as the president will find it to be more dangerous if it got out as it will ruin his image.
