BBC under pressure amid criticism of ‘death to the IDF' chants at Glastonbury
British prime minister Keir Starmer has led criticism across the political spectrum of chants at Glastonbury for 'death' to the Israeli military as the BBC faced pressure to explain why it kept broadcasting. Rapper Bobby Vylan, of rap punk duo Bob Vylan, on Saturday led crowds on the festival's West Holts Stage in chants of 'Free, free Palestine' and 'Death, death to the IDF (Israel Defence Forces)'. Advertisement A member of Belfast rap trio Kneecap suggested fans 'start a riot' at his bandmate's forthcoming court appearance related to a terrorism charge. Responding to the chants from Bob Vylan, Mr Starmer said: '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. 'The BBC needs to explain how these scenes came to be broadcast.' Advertisement A member of Kneecap said 'f*** Keir Starmer' during their performance after the UK prime minister called for the band not to play at the festival. Local police said video evidence from the performances would be assessed by officers to determine whether any offences may have been committed that would require a criminal investigation. Glastonbury organiser Emily Eavis said Bob Vylan's chants '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,' she said in a statement. Advertisement UK Conservative lawmaker Chris Philp said Bob Vylan was 'inciting violence and hatred' and should be arrested and prosecuted. 'By broadcasting his vile hatred, the BBC appear to have also broken the law,' he said. 'I call on the Police to urgently investigate and prosecute the BBC as well for broadcasting this. Our national broadcaster should not be transmitting hateful material designed to incite violence and conflict,' he posted on X. England's health secretary Wes Streeting called it a 'pretty shameless publicity stunt' and said the BBC and Glastonbury have 'questions to answer about how we saw such a spectacle on our screens', speaking to Sky News. Advertisement Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch called the scenes 'grotesque'. 'Glorifying violence against Jews isn't edgy. The West is playing with fire if we allow this sort of behaviour to go unchecked,' she wrote on X. England's culture secretary Lisa Nandy has spoken to the BBC director general about Bob Vylan's performance, a British government spokesperson said. The BBC said it showed a warning during the performance and that viewers would not be able to access it on demand. Advertisement Bob Vylan performing on the West Holts Stage (Ben Birchall/PA) A spokesperson for the broadcaster said: 'Some of the comments made during Bob Vylan's set were deeply offensive. 'During this live stream on iPlayer, which reflected what was happening on stage, a warning was issued on screen about the very strong and discriminatory language. 'We have no plans to make the performance available on demand.' The Israeli embassy said it was 'deeply disturbed by the inflammatory and hateful rhetoric expressed on stage at the Glastonbury Festival'. The Campaign Against Antisemitism (CAA) said it would be formally complaining to the BBC over its 'outrageous decision' to broadcast Bob Vylan. 'Our national broadcaster must apologise for its dissemination of this extremist vitriol, and those responsible must be removed from their positions,' a spokesperson said. Bob Vylan, who formed in Ipswich in 2017, have released four albums addressing issues to do with racism, masculinity and class. Bobby Vylan's real name is Pascal Robinson-Foster (34), according to reports. He is listed on Companies House as the director of Ghost Theatre Records, which is operated by Bob Vylan. Kneecap performing on the West Holts Stage (Yui Mok/PA) In a statement posted to Instagram, Vylan said: 'Teaching our children to speak up for the change they want and need is the only way that we make this world a better place. 'As we grow older and our fire starts to possibly dim under the suffocation of adult life and all its responsibilities, it is incredibly important that we encourage and inspire future generations to pick up the torch that was passed to us. 'Let us display to them loudly and visibly the right thing to do when we want and need change. 'Let them see us marching in the streets, campaigning on ground level, organising online and shouting about it on any and every stage that we are offered.' View this post on Instagram A post shared by Bob Vylan (@bobbyvylan) Kneecap have been in the headlines after member Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh, who performs under the name Mo Chara, was charged with a terror offence. The group performed after Vylan's set on the West Holts Stage with Ó hAnnaidh exclaiming 'Glastonbury, I'm a free man' as they took to the stage. In reference to his bandmate's forthcoming court date, Naoise Ó Caireallain, who performs under the name Moglai Bap, said they would 'start a riot outside the courts', before clarifying: 'No riots, just love and support, and support for Palestine.' In the run-up to the festival at Worthy Farm in southwestern England, several politicians called for the group to be removed from the line-up and Mr Starmer said their performance would not be 'appropriate'. During Kneecap's set, Ó hAnnaidh said: 'The prime minister of your country, not mine, said he didn't want us to play, so f*** Keir Starmer.' Lifestyle In Pictures: Glastonbury fans beat the heat as Kne... Read More Kneecap also gave a 'big thank you to the Eavis family' and said 'they stood strong' amid calls for the organisers to drop them from the line-up. A BBC spokesperson said an on-demand version of Kneecap's performance was available on iPlayer. 'We have edited it to ensure the content falls within the limits of artistic expression in line with our editorial guidelines and reflects the performance from Glastonbury's West Holts Stage.

GB News announces expansion into the US
The news channel, launched in 2021, will open a new bureau in Washington DC as it launches its services across the Atlantic. The two-hour programme will begin in September from a studio 'close to the White House' and will 'bring British audiences closer than ever to the political news which unfolds each day in America'. The programme will feature 'headline-making exclusives, thought-provoking interviews with major figures, and in-depth analysis of the Trump presidency as well as stories from across the US', according to GB News. The move includes an extension of GB News' distribution across the US, with content to be made available free to American audiences. Turner said: 'With the gutsiest guests and the most iconic backdrops, I intend to keep viewers up late. Fronting the next stage of GB News's evolution is both a huge honour and an immense responsibility, and I cannot wait to represent the people's channel on a global stage. 'We will be disrupting the late-night TV space as the next day's papers land in the UK and America's prime-time analysis gears up. This affords us the chance to deliver a unique UK-USA hybrid of political, cultural and social issues from the start-line of global politics. 'We will fulfil the need for a British voice with an international perspective to help our viewers get a sense of who's really on their side. 'Tapping into Washington's heartbeat and delivering real-time perspective with editorial edge, the show will be alive, and a conversation that's punchy, intelligent and unmissable. What happens in DC reverberates in GB and we will capture every moment. 'Our highly engaged British audience understands how events in the US are directly impacting government policy and living standards here. 'We have a job to do: bridging the gap between British and American politics in the fearless style that typifies GB News. 'We will include the very best guests that Washington has to offer, alongside quintessentially British voices in an unparalleled assessment of events on both sides of the Atlantic. 'This isn't just a media experiment, this is a market intervention. And I look forward to leading it from the front.' Turner, 51, who began presenting her own show on GB News in 2022, previously hosted a talk show on LBC and has appeared on ITV's This Morning and Good Morning Britain. Michael Booker, GB News editorial director, said: 'This is a huge moment for GB News as we grow our presence and deliver more of the fearless journalism that defines us. 'The world's biggest political story is playing out in Washington, and its impact is being felt daily in towns and cities across Britain. 'More than ever before, what happens in the USA is having huge consequences, both socially and economically, for the people of Britain. 'We've seen time and again this year that a decision made on one day in Washington DC is felt the next day in Washington, Tyne and Wear. 'It's essential the people's channel is right there, reporting live, asking the tough questions, and telling it like it is. 'While others scale back on live free coverage, GB News is investing in our content. 'Our new Washington investment, our expanded programming and our brilliant on-the-ground team will ensure we're not just reporting on the story but that we're right at the heart of it.'

The Prodigy fans praise their 'absolutely insane' Glastonbury set as they perform on The Other Stage before paying an emotional tribute to late member Keith Flint
The Prodigy fans have heaped praise on the band's 'absolutely insane' Glastonbury set as they took to The Other Stage on the final day of the festival on Sunday. During their performance, the iconic electric band paid an emotional tribute to late member Keith Flint, as they made their first appearance at Worthy Farm since the death of the singer. They had been due to play at the annual festival back in 2019, but were forced to cancel amid the passing of the founding member, who died on March 4 2019, aged 49. And The Prodigy's remaining members ensured they performed a set Keith would be proud of, thrilling fans with rip-roaring opener Voodoo People before vocalist Maxim, 58, said some words about the late star. He told the crowd: 'This is the fourth time we have played this festival. There are supposed to be five of us, but six years ago, we lost our brother. This show tonight is dedicated to Mr. F**king Flint. This is his night!' Maxim, alongside Liam Howlett, Rob Holliday and Leo Crabtree ripped through some of the band's biggest hits during their set including Firestarter, Omen, Light Up The Sky, Smack My B***h Up and Breathe. They had been due to play at the annual festival back in 2019, but were forced to cancel amid the passing of the founding member, who died on March 4 2019, aged 49 [Keith Flint pictured] Watching the performance, fans were quick to take to X to heap praise on the band, with one remarking it gave them 'chills', while another branded them the 'best of the weekend.' They penned: 'The Prodigy look & sound absolutely awesome at #Glastonbury always would've loved to see scenes like that 'That prodigy set gave me chills!!! you feel a high just watching it.. i've seen them live already and would 100% see them again. that sort of energy is genuinely infectious. rest in peace to the greatest, keith flint.' 'Prodigy is the final boss of #Glastonbury' 'The Prodigy's set was absolutely insane. Still untouchable. RIP Keith.' 'The Prodigy were unreal!!' 'I can't get over that Prodigy set. Absolutely smashed it out the park. That is a proper headline set. No f**king about. Just, Bang. Here you go. Have the hits.' 'Prodigy easily the best band of the weekend...' In 2024, Liam Howlett opened up about the decision to return to performing live without Keith. He told NME: 'After losing Keith we couldn't even think or talk about the band. I think it was two years after his death that me and Maxim started bringing it up. "Could we play live again? Did we even want to? Why? How?' All that s**t".' 'We realised the only possible real way to know how we would feel was to do it: get back on stage and do a bunch of gigs. 'It was so hard to walk onto that stage without our brother, but we really felt the crowd with us. Those gigs were highly emotionally-charged but we came out the other end with our answer.' Over on The Other Stage, thousands of people hugged their best friends and chanted 'me and you' as Wolf Alice played friendship anthem Bros Elsewhere, Glastonbury returned to Worthy Farm, in Somerset, this year with The 1975, Neil Young and the Chrome Hearts and Olivia Rodrigo headlining. Taking to the stage on Sunday for the final day of the festival included the likes of Wolf Alice, Brandi Carlile and Noah Kahan. Meanwhile St. Vincent, real name Annie Clark, brought her All Born Screaming tour to the Woodsies Stage. 'I would like to thank you for hanging in all the way to day four of this festival,' she said to the crowd. 'I'm not sure what kind of trip you're on but I want to be on it too, baby.' Over on The Other Stage, thousands of people hugged their best friends and chanted 'me and you' as Wolf Alice played friendship anthem Bros. Pete Doherty also returned to the festival as The Libertines took to the Pyramid Stage for the two o'clock slot, playing Up the Bracket, the title track from their 2002 debut album.
