When this xml is read by yq with curl -s http://feeds.bbci.co.uk/news/rss.xml | yq, it outputs the following error:

yq: Error running jq: ScannerError: mapping values are not allowed here
  in "<stdin>", line 15, column 38.

Maybe it's having it with the ! exclamation mark in there? I'm just guessing. That xml should be valid.

The yq utility does not accept XML input. You need to pipe your XML to xq instead (which is bundled with yq).
