Why does edited BBC video (UK) include the Russians firing warning shots, but not Greenpeace ramming a Russian boat seconds before?

On the river, memorial day weekend, a deliberate collision between rafts would be provocation for at least a fist fight or an exchange of beer can missles.

Russians showed restraint.

In days not so distant past, the greenpeace crew would have been fish food.

I think I see it 37 seconds into the BBC video - from the boat driver's POV - more damning if anything.
