XD : Error "Problem importing your SVG asset because it contains invalid SVG markup"

I downloaded the .svg file of the BBC logo from here:

File:BBC News.svg - Wikipedia

It open successfully in illustrator but when I try to paste in XD I get the following error message:

"Problem importing your SVG asset because it contains invalid SVG markup"

I had the same error message when I first saved the .svg as an .ai file, and tried copying and pasting to XD that way.

Any ideas how to remedy this?

Thanks
