YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

West Midlands Police chief constable Craig Guildford has apologised to MPs for giving them "erroneous" evidence about the decision to ban Maccabi Tel Aviv fans, blaming the use of AI.

It comes on the day Home Secretary, Shabana Mahmood, is due to make a statement to MPs after receiving a report on the decision to ban the Maccabi fans from attending a Europa League match against Aston Villa in November.

The force has been accused of misrepresenting the threat to justify advocating the exclusion of the Israeli club's fans from the match at Villa Park in Birmingham.
