The BBC’s broadcast of Bob Vylan’s performance at Glastonbury Festival breached the corporation’s editorial standards in relation to harm and offence, its Executive Complaints Unit (ECU) has found.

The outspoken punk duo caused controversy when they chanted for the “death” of the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) at the Somerset festival in June, which was livestreamed by the broadcaster.
