'Video evidence will be assessed by officers to determine whether any offences may have been committed that would require a criminal investigation.'
Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy has spoken to the BBC Director General about the Bob Vylan's performance, a Government spokesperson said.
They added: 'We strongly condemn the threatening comments made by Bob Vylan at Glastonbury.
'The Culture Secretary has spoken to the BBC Director General to seek an urgent explanation about what due diligence it carried out ahead of the Bob Vylan performance, and welcomes the decision not to re-broadcast it on BBC iPlayer.'

Kneecap, who hail from Belfast, have been in the headlines after member Liam Og O hAnnaidh, who performs under the name Mo Chara, was charged with a terror offence.
In reference to his bandmate's upcoming court date, Naoise O 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 Somerset, several politicians called for Kneecap to be removed from the line-up and Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer said their performance would not be 'appropriate'.
During the performance Caireallain said: 'The Prime Minister of your country, not mine, said he didn't want us to play, so f*** Keir Starmer.'
He also said 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.
O hAnnaidh, 27, wore a keffiyeh during the set, while member JJ O Dochartaigh, who performs under the name DJ Provai, wore his signature tri-coloured balaclava as well as a T-shirt that said: 'We are all Palestine Action', in reference to the soon-to-be banned campaign group.
News broadcasts criticising the hip hop trio played from the sound system before they walked onto the stage were booed by the Glastonbury Festival audience.
The trio opened with the song Better Way To Live from their 2024 album Fine Art and also performed tracks including Get Your Brits Out and Hood.
Access to the area around the West Holts Stage was closed around 45 minutes before their performance after groups of fans arrived to form a sea of Irish and Palestinian flags.

Earlier on Saturday, the BBC confirmed they would not be live-streaming the set but said the performance is likely to be made available on-demand later.
O hAnnaidh was charged with allegedly displaying a flag in support of proscribed terrorist organisation Hezbollah, while saying 'up Hamas, up Hezbollah' at a gig in November last year.
On June 18, the rapper was cheered by hundreds of supporters as he arrived with bandmates O Caireallain and O Dochartaigh at Westminster Magistrates' Court in Free Mo Chara T-shirts.
He was released on unconditional bail until the next hearing at the same court on August 20.

Glastonbury Festival 'appalled' by Bob Vylan's Israeli military chants
The festival organisers' comments come after police said they are assessing videos from the band's performance on Saturday, along with Irish trio Kneecap's set. Rapper Bobby Vylan, one half of the rap punk duo Bob Vylan, led crowds on the festival's West Holts Stage in chants of 'death, death to the IDF' along with 'free, free Palestine'. Responding to comments made by Bob Vylan on Saturday, Glastonbury Festival released a statement in a post on Instagram. READ MORE: Kneecap responds to 'legend' who streamed their Glastonbury set after BBC blackout It read: 'With almost 4000 performances at Glastonbury 2025, there will inevitably be artists and speakers appearing on our stages whose views we do not share, and a performer's presence here should never be seen as a tacit endorsement of their opinions and beliefs. 'However, we are appalled by the statements made from the West Holts stage by Bob Vylan yesterday. 'Their chants very much crossed a line and 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.'

Streeting tells Israel 'get your own house in order' over Glastonbury criticism
Health Secretary Wes Streeting said the Israeli embassy needs to take violence against Palestinians more seriously before talking about chants at Glastonbury. The festival saw thousands chant 'death to the IDF (Israeli Defence Forces)' during a performance from Bob Vylan, which Streeting said was 'appalling'. The Israeli Embassy said in a statement: 'The embassy in the United Kingdom is deeply disturbed by the inflammatory and hateful rhetoric expressed on stage at the Glastonbury Festival.' This morning, Streeting responded to that statement on Sky News Sunday Morning with Trevor Phillips. 'Get your own house in order in terms of the conduct of your own citizens and the settlers in the West Bank,' he said. 'I think there's a serious point there by the Israeli embassy that I take seriously. I wish they'd take the violence of their own citizens towards Palestinians more seriously.' Rapper Bob Vylan led chants at Glastonbury of 'Free, free Palestine' and 'Death, death to the IDF'. Irish rap trio Kneecap also led pro-Palestine remarks. Police are currently investigating the chants. '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,' the health secretary added. 'But the fact that we saw that chant at a music festival, when there were Israelis at a similar music festival who were kidnapped, murdered, raped, and in some cases still held captive, whether it's a Palestinian or an Israeli, whether it's a Christian, a Jew or a Muslim, all life is precious. 'All life is sacred. And I find it pretty revolting we've got to a state in this conflict where you're supposed to sort of cheer on one side or the other like it's a football team.' Asked if the BBC should have cut the live feed, he said the broadcaster has questions to answer, but that he did not know what the editorial and operational challenges were of taking such action. Avon and Somerset Police said video evidence would be assessed by officers 'to determine whether any offences may have been committed that would require a criminal investigation'. Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch called the scenes grotesque, writing on X: 'Glorifying violence against Jews isn't edgy. The West is playing with fire if we allow this sort of behaviour to go unchecked.' A BBC spokesperson 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.' Kneecap, who hail from Belfast, have been in the headlines after member Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh, who performs under the name Mo Chara, was charged with a terror offence. In the run-up to the festival at Worthy Farm in Somerset, several politicians called for the group to be removed from the line-up, and Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer said their performance would not be appropriate. More Trending During the performance, fellow Kneecap member Naoise Ó Cairealláin said: 'The Prime Minister of your country, not mine, said he didn't want us to play, so f*** Keir Starmer.' Glastonbury organisers said in a statement online: 'As a festival, we stand against all forms of war and terrorism. We will always believe in – and actively campaign for – hope, unity, peace and love. 'With almost 4,000 performances at Glastonbury 2025, there will inevitably be artists and speakers appearing on our stages whose views we do not share, and a performer's presence here should never be seen as a tacit endorsement of their opinions and beliefs.

‘Heads will roll': BBC reckons with bias accusations over Israel and Palestine coverage
When the BBC's director general, Tim Davie, held a virtual town hall meeting with staff this month, most assumed it would be dominated by disputes over pay and redundancies. When the questions came in, however, the top query to the boss was clear: why was the corporation refusing to show a long-awaited documentary about medics in Gaza? The answer most desired by staff was in relation to delays in broadcasting Gaza: Doctors Under Attack. They wanted to know why it had been shelved while an investigation took place into another documentary, Gaza: How to Survive a Warzone, which was pulled from the iPlayer earlier this year after it emerged its child narrator is the son of a Hamas official. 'The lack of transparency over these decisions is hugely concerning,' Davie was told. Another staffer asked: 'Are you aware this [delay] has negatively impacted the BBC's reputation and ability to tell Palestine stories?' A third question seen by the Guardian went further. 'I'm often confronted about the BBC being a propaganda machine and biased about Gaza,' it said. 'I love my job, but sometimes I can't tell anyone I work here for fear of arguments. What can be done about this?' It went on: 'I know I am not alone in feeling this way and believe my question will resonate with colleagues across the corporation.' Davie fielded the questions, saying no one should be falling out with friends and family members in defence of the BBC's coverage of the conflict, and admitting the editorial decisions involved in covering Gaza were 'as tough as it gets'. Since that event, the BBC has completely axed the medics documentary, causing further anger. Channel 4 announced this weekend that it would air the documentary on Wednesday night. Meanwhile, executives are braced for the findings from its internal inquiry into the making of Gaza: How to Survive a Warzone. It is expected in the coming weeks and will bring internal and external criticism from those who accuse the BBC of an anti-Israel bias. 'Deputy heads will roll,' said one industry figure closely watching the outcome. The corporation came in for renewed criticism from both sides this weekend for livestreaming a Glastonbury festival performance of the rap punk duo Bob Vylan, where chants of 'Death, death to the IDF' were heard, and opting not to livestream a performance by the band Kneecap, one of whom has been charged with a terror offence for allegedly displaying a Hezbollah flag at a gig in November. Long before that all-staff session, BBC bosses were acutely aware of the fraught atmosphere in Broadcasting House over Gaza coverage. Just weeks earlier, Davie had decided to end Gary Lineker's tenure at the BBC after the Match of the Day presenter reposted a social media video appearing to refer to Jewish people as rats – an antisemitic slur used by the Nazis. It led to accusations of an anti-Israel bias. The episode left some Jewish staff saying they felt betrayed, with one accusing their bosses of doing the 'bare minimum of damage limitation'. Some now focus on BBC Arabic. One staffer said it operated 'in its own way when it comes to the Israel-Palestinian conflict' and that contributors had been found making 'opinionated postings on social media'. Two BBC employees said the service needed to be reformed. A BBC source said BBC Arabic's journalists had 'decades of extensive knowledge and experience in covering the region' and that any mistakes made were corrected. They added that appropriate action was taken against anyone breaking the BBC's social media guidance. The former BBC director of television Danny Cohen, who has made repeated allegations of anti-Israel bias against his former employer, said there was a wider issue at the corporation. 'This left-of-centre structural bias in the BBC newsroom informs a lot of the journalism,' he said. 'Amongst younger journalists it seems to be a particular problem when it comes to anti-Israel bias.' The incidents have resulted in uncomfortable internal claims of both anti-Israel and anti-Palestinian bias. More unrest followed the corporation's decision to sever its ties with Gaza: Doctors Under Attack, stating that broadcasting it 'risked creating a perception of partiality'. It handed ownership back to its independent producer, Basement Films. Sign up to First Edition Our morning email breaks down the key stories of the day, telling you what's happening and why it matters after newsletter promotion The Guardian has been told the BBC suggested editorial changes that Basement deemed unnecessary, but the working relationship had been good during the production process. Once the investigation was launched into the production of Gaza: How to Survive a Warzone, however, the medics documentary was shelved until that was completed. This outraged its supporters inside and outside the BBC, who accuse Davie of making an unnecessary and panicked call, rather than relying on the editorial judgments of the teams involved. BBC insiders said it was right to delay the documentary because it could conceivably be affected by recommendations stemming from the investigation into a similar programme. BBC figures insisted they had been trying to find a way to publish at least parts of the medics documentary in news coverage, though the nature of those talks is disputed. Even in mid-May, Basement Films was already saying publicly that it was 'doubtful' the BBC would release the programme – a prediction that proved correct. Some supportive figures worry the saga has shown the BBC has lost confidence in producing such programmes. 'The BBC has, in my view, performed strongly in coverage of the Middle East and I do not believe it is institutionally biased,' said Roger Mosey, the former head of BBC television news. 'It has highly skilled journalists who do the very best they can in an area where access is restricted and where the actions of both sides can be heavily contested. 'That said, it is clearly a problem that the BBC has not been able to deliver satisfactory long-form TV documentaries on conditions in Gaza. The editorial complexities are real, but equally it's a subject that must be reported in current affairs films.' This is disputed by the BBC, with insiders pointing to award-winning documentaries, such as Life and Death in Gaza, and Gaza 101, as well as the podcast Finding Freedom in the Water: Gaza's Swimming Teacher. BBC figures point out internal complaints come from both directions, with two recent reports each claiming to prove bias either against Israel or Palestinians. Senior journalists say many problems stem from Israel's refusal to grant international journalists access to Gaza. 'More broadly, we strongly reject the notion – levelled from different sides of this conflict – that we are pro or anti any position,' a BBC source said. There is no let-up for the corporation. The forthcoming publication of its investigation into Gaza: How to Survive a Warzone will be followed by a 'thematic review' into its Middle East coverage. Both will ensure attention from all sides continues to focus on the corporation's approach.
