Why have music and politics collided at Glastonbury? | BBC Newscast

توضیحات:

Today the BBC examines the reaction to comments made by the duo Bob Vylan at Glastonbury, where the rapper led chants of "death, death to the IDF". A BBC spokesperson said that some of the comments were deeply offensive and that a warning was issued on the live stream, with no plans to make the performance available on demand. The Israeli Embassy posted on X that it was deeply disturbed by the inflammatory rhetoric, while the festival stated it does not condone hate speech or incitement to violence. The segment also features Health Secretary Wes Streeting discussing the issue and the upcoming welfare vote, and economist Faisal Islam talking about the economic consequences of the government's U‑turn.
