BBC ‘regrets' not pulling Glastonbury stream after anti-Israel remarks
LONDON: British public broadcaster the BBC apologised Monday for not pulling a live stream of a punk-rap group's performance at the Glastonbury festival when they made anti-Israel remarks. 'With hindsight we should have pulled the stream during the performance. We regret this did not happen,' the broadcaster said of Bob Vylan's show, in which the group led the crowds in chants of 'Death to the IDF', the initials of the Israeli military. Prime Minister Keir Starmer said after there was 'no excuse for this kind of appalling hate speech'. The BBC said that 'millions of people' watched its coverage of the festival 'but one performance within our livestreams included comments that were deeply offensive'. 'The BBC respects freedom of expression but stands firmly against incitement to violence,' it added. 'The antisemitic sentiments expressed by Bob Vylan were utterly unacceptable and have no place on our airwaves.' Media watchdog Ofcom warned Monday that it was 'very concerned' and that the BBC had questions to answer. 'We have been speaking to the BBC over the weekend and we are obtaining further information as a matter of urgency,' it added. Controversy descended on this year's event before it even began over the inclusion of Irish rap trio Kneecap, one of whose members was recently charged under terror legislation. During their show on Saturday, one Kneecap member wore a T-shirt dedicated to the Palestine Action Group, which is about to be banned under UK terror laws. The chants about Israel's military were led by Bob Vylan's frontman Bobby Vylan, and were broadcast live on the BBC. Glastonbury's organisers said the the comments had 'very much crossed a line'. 'We are urgently reminding everyone involved in the production of the festival that there is no place at Glastonbury for antisemitism, hate speech or incitement to violence,' the festival said in a statement. Avon and Somerset police said Saturday that video evidence would be assessed 'to determine whether any offences may have been committed that would require a criminal investigation'. The incident has caused a diplomatic headache for the UK, with the Israel embassy issuing a statement saying 'it was 'deeply disturbed by the inflammatory and hateful rhetoric expressed on stage at the Glastonbury Festival'. Kneecap, which has made headlines in recent months with its pro-Palestinian and anti-Israel stance, also led crowds in chanting abuse against Prime Minister Starmer. Starmer and other politicians 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 this month accused of having displayed a Hezbollah flag while saying 'Up Hamas, Up Hezbollah' at a London concert last year. A video of the concert resurfaced and caused controversy. The Iran-backed Lebanese group Hezbollah and the Palestinian militants Hamas are banned in the UK, where it is an offence to express support for them.

Malaysia Fair 2025 Osaka boosts VM2026 tourism campaign in Japan
KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysia Fair 2025 made its debut in Osaka as part of Malaysia's participation in World Expo 2025, serving as a key platform to promote the Visit Malaysia 2026 (VM2026) campaign in Japan. Held from June 27 to 29 at Lalaport ExpoCity, the event showcased the country's cultural heritage, culinary diversity, and traditions under the theme 'All About Malaysia.' Organised by the Malaysian Embassy in Japan, the fair was officiated by Malaysian Ambassador to Japan Datuk Shahril Effendi Abd Ghany. The embassy described it as Malaysia's largest event in Japan, aimed at increasing Japanese tourist arrivals. Shahril Effendi noted that over 130,000 Japanese tourists visited Malaysia between January and April 2024, marking a 21 per cent rise compared to the same period last year. 'The ambassador warmly invited more Japanese travellers to experience Malaysia and enjoy its vibrant culture, natural sustainability, culinary delights, and the warmth of its people,' the embassy said in a statement. Visitors enjoyed cultural performances, iconic Malaysian dishes from food trucks, and explored various Malaysian products and services at exhibition booths. The fair also featured cooking demonstrations, tourism promotions, traditional games, and lucky draws with prizes including round-trip flights to Malaysia. The embassy highlighted the event's success in strengthening Malaysia-Japan ties through cultural engagement and greater awareness of Malaysia's attractions.

UK PM condemns ‘death to the IDF' chants at Glastonbury Festival
GLASTONBURY: UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer on Sunday added his voice to those condemning a British punk-rap group for anti-Israel remarks at the Glastonbury music festival, an incident that has already sparked a police inquiry. Bob Vylan led crowds in chants of 'Death, death to the IDF', a reference to the acronym for the Israeli military, during their set on Saturday. British police officers are also examining comments by the Irish rap trio Kneecap, whose members have also been highly critical of Israel and its military campaign against the Palestinian militant group Hamas in the Gaza Strip. Prime Minister Keir Starmer told The Telegraph Sunday that 'there is no excuse for this kind of appalling hate speech.' 'I said that Kneecap should not be given a platform and that goes for any other performers making threats or inciting violence,' he added. 'The BBC needs to explain how these scenes came to be broadcast,' he said, referring to the country's national broadcaster. One of Kneecap's members wore a T-shirt dedicated to the Palestine Action Group, which is about to be banned under UK terror laws. The festival's organisers said Bob Vylan's comments had 'very much crossed a line'. 'We are urgently reminding everyone involved in the production of the festival that there is no place at Glastonbury for antisemitism, hate speech or incitement to violence,' the festival said in a statement. 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'. 'Life is sacred' The chants about Israel's military were led by Bob Vylan's frontman Bobby Vylan, and were broadcast live on the BBC, which airs coverage of Britain's most popular music festival. 'I thought it's appalling,' Wes Streeting, the Labour's government's health secretary, said of the chants, adding that 'all life is sacred'. 'I think the BBC and Glastonbury have got questions to answer about how we saw such a spectacle on our screens,' he told Sky News. The Israel embassy said in a statement late Saturday that 'it was 'deeply disturbed by the inflammatory and hateful rhetoric expressed on stage at the Glastonbury Festival'. But Streeting 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 Israeli settler violence in the West Bank. A spokesperson for the BBC said Vylan's comments were 'deeply offensive' and the broadcaster had 'no plans' to make the performance available on its on-demand service. Festival-goer Joe McCabe, 31, told AFP that while he did not necessarily agree with Vylan's statement, 'I certainly think the message of questioning what's going on there (in Gaza) is right.' 'A joke' Kneecap, which has made headlines in recent months with its pro-Palestinian and anti-Israel stance, also led crowds in chanting abuse against UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer. Starmer and other politicians 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 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. The Iran-backed Lebanese force Hezbollah and the Palestinian militant group Hamas are banned in the UK, and it is an offence to express support for them. O'Hanna has denied the charge and told the Guardian newspaper in an interview published Friday that 'it was a joke -- we're playing characters'. Kneecap regularly lead crowds in chants of 'Free Palestine' during its concerts, and fans revere them for their anti-establishment stance and criticism of British imperialism. Their detractors however, call them extremists. The group apologised this year after a 2023 video emerged appearing to show one singer calling for the death of British Conservative lawmakers. Israel began its offensive against Hamas in the Palestinian territory of Gaza after the militants launched an attack that resulted in the deaths of 1,219 people, mostly civilians, according to an AFP tally based on Israeli official figures. Israel's retaliatory military campaign has killed at least 56,412 people in Gaza, also mostly civilians, according to Hamas-run territory's health ministry. The United Nations considers these figures to be reliable.
