YouTube Description
as posted by the channelAt their Glastonbury set on Saturday, punk-rap duo Bob Vylan's singer led chants of "death, death to the IDF".
The chants have been labelled antisemitic by the BBC and the organisation has since apologised for airing the performance – but Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp has called for the broadcaster to be prosecuted, saying they, "should not be transmitting hateful material designed to incite violence and conflict". The police have now launched a criminal investigation into the Glastonbury performance.
What should the BBC have done and will they face prosecution?
Host Sarah-Jane Mee speaks to the former head of Channel Four News and Current Affairs, Dorothy Byrne, to understand what the broadcaster should have done differently. She also speaks to legal expert Joshua Rozenberg about whether Bob Vylan's performance constitutes a hate crime and if the BBC may be prosecuted for broadcasting it.
