Default Racism in BBC Report?

In a BBC Report, aired at 13:01, on belgium's security threats they just showed pictures of two of the french terrorists, then soldiers, then random arabic-looking people and hijabi women who happen to be walking around the belgium high streets (some with shopping in hands, clearly doing no harm).

The last part strikes me as especially racist and quite biased actually, why are they being filmed as if they have links to the story? Like.. I would understand if they were showing normal people minding their own business, but there were no white belgian people either, only arabic-looking men and hijabi women as I mentioned beforehand. Shocking and disgraceful for a news station in 2015 to do this.

I only hope this was poor reporting on their part, and nothing malicious, because it sure did come across as pretty racist.
