💨 Abstract

BBC director-general Tim Davie expressed "deep regret" for streaming controversial statements by Bob Vylan at Glastonbury. The duo chanted "death to the IDF" and pro-Palestine slogans. Despite being deemed "high risk," their performance was streamed, with the BBC failing to cut it off. Davie apologized, especially to the Jewish community, and vowed accountability actions. The performance had a language warning but was not delayed or cut.
