UK govt condemns ‘death to the IDF' chants at Glastonbury
GLASTONBURY, (United Kingdom): The UK government said on Sunday that the BBC had questions to answer over criticism of Israel by musicians at Glastonbury festival that police are probing. UK officers are studying videos of rapper Bobby Vylan leading crowds in chants of 'Death, death to the IDF', a reference to the acronym for the Israeli army, during his set on Saturday. They are also examining comments by outspoken Irish rap trio Kneecap, one of whose members wore a T-shirt dedicated to Palestine Action Group, which is about to be banned under UK terror laws. The IDF chants, condemned by the Israeli embassy in London, were broadcast on the BBC, which airs coverage of Britain's most popular music festival. 'I thought it's appalling, to be honest, and I think the BBC and Glastonbury have got questions to answer about how we saw such a spectacle on our screens,' UK minister Wes Streeting told Sky News. The Israel embassy said in a statement late Saturday 'it was 'deeply disturbed by the inflammatory and hateful rhetoric expressed on stage at the Glastonbury Festival'. But Streeting, Labour's health secretary, also took aim at the embassy, telling it to 'get your own house in order'. 'I think there's a serious point there by the Israeli embassy. I wish they'd take the violence of their own citizens towards Palestinians more seriously,' he said, citing settler violence in the West Bank. A spokesperson for the BBC said some of the comments by Vylan, part of British duo Bob Vylan, were 'deeply offensive' and the broadcaster had 'no plans to make the performance available on demand'. Avon and Somerset police said Saturday that video evidence would be assessed by officers 'to determine whether any offences may have been committed that would require a criminal investigation'. Kneecap, who have made headlines in recent months with their pro-Palestinian and anti-Israel stance, led crowds in a chant against UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer. Starmer had said the band should not perform after its member Liam O'Hanna, known by his stage name Mo Chara, was charged with a terror offence. He appeared in court earlier this month accused of having displayed a Hezbollah flag while saying 'Up Hamas, Up Hezbollah' after a video resurfaced of a London concert last year.

Jake Paul threatens to sue Piers Morgan over fight rigging claims
Jake Paul is threatening legal action against Piers Morgan following claims the YouTuber-turned-boxer's latest fight was 'staged.' The conflict erupted after Paul secured a points victory over Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. in Anaheim, California, on June 29. Despite extending his record to 12-1, boos echoed through the arena, and criticism quickly followed. British TV host Piers Morgan branded the match an 'unwatchable farce' and suggested Paul was 'killing boxing' by fighting older opponents. Just days earlier, Paul had stormed off Morgan's show, Piers Morgan Uncensored, calling the host a 'fat a**' during a fiery exchange. After the match, Morgan tweeted, 'I had a better fight with Jake Paul on Thursday than the unwatchable farce that took place tonight.' After years of letting it slide as just 'haters being haters', I have asked my team to vigorously go after anyone who makes up lies about my boxing career. Expect to get served you pigs — Jake Paul (@jakepaul) June 29, 2025 Paul responded on X (formerly Twitter), saying he has instructed his team to 'vigorously go after anyone who makes up lies' about his boxing career. 'Expect to get served, you pigs,' he added. Nakisa Bidarian, Paul's business partner, defended the fight, stating it was a fully sanctioned 10-round cruiserweight bout overseen by the California State Athletic Commission. He called Morgan's accusations 'baseless and irresponsible,' emphasizing the match's legitimacy. Bidarian noted that defamatory remarks not only harm Paul's reputation but also the integrity of the sport and its regulatory bodies. He confirmed they are considering legal action against Morgan and others spreading false claims.
