Was there a hate crime at Glastonbury?
???? Listen to Sky News Daily on your podcast app ???? At their Glastonbury set on Saturday, punk-rap duo Bob Vylan's singer led chants of "death, death to the IDF".
The chants have been labelled antisemitic by the BBC and the organisation has since apologised for airing the performance. But shadow home secretary Chris Philp has called for the broadcaster to be prosecuted, saying it "should not be transmitting hateful material designed to incite violence and conflict".
Avon and Somerset Police has now launched a criminal investigation into the Glastonbury performances of Bob Vylan and Kneecap. What should the BBC have done - and will the corporation face prosecution? Host Sarah-Jane Mee speaks to Channel Four's former head of news and current affairs, Dorothy Byrne, to understand what the BBC should have done differently.
She also speaks to legal expert Joshua Rozenberg about whether Bob Vylan's performance constitutes a hate crime and if the BBC may be prosecuted for broadcasting it. Producer: Natalie Ktena Editors: Philly Beaumont and Paul Stanworth.
