T he BBC issued a formal apology after broadcasting a controversial performance from the rap-punk group Bob Vylan at England's Glastonbury festival. Bob Vylan — outspoken critics of Israel's war on Gaza — led its crowd at last weekend's festival in a chant of "Death to the IDF," or Israel Defense Forces.

Britain's national broadcaster said on Thursday it would no longer broadcast or stream live any music gig deemed "high risk" after it was widely criticised for showing punk-rap duo Bob Vylan chanting against the Israeli military at Glastonbury.

BBC apologizes after streaming Bob Vylan's controversial Glastonbury set despite 'high risk' warning. New policies ban live broadcasts of risky acts.
