The BBC considered Bob Valn as a “high risk” before its controversial Glstonbury set, the corporation has said.
Pank pair “death, death led a mantra for IDF [Israel Defence Forces]”During his set, which was available to look through a live stream on the iPlayer on Saturday.
In a statement, the BBC stated that the corporation is taking action to “ensure proper accountability” for people found responsible for broadcasting.
BBC News understands that many employees have been distracted from day to day duties from music and live events team.
BBC president Sameer Shah said that the decision not to pull the live feed was “undeniably error of decision”.
The BBC said it would be “changing immediate changes for music events”.
In the future, it said: “Any high -risk music performance by the BBC will no longer be broadcast live or streamted live.”
In a statement to the employees, Director General Tim Davi said he “appeared on the BBC on such an aggressive and derogatory behavior and wanted to apologize to our audience and listeners and especially the Jewish community”.
The BBC stated that Bob Waln was “considered a high risk after a risk evaluation process applied to all acts that appeared in Glstonbury”.
“Seven acts including Bob Vikal were included in this category and were considered suitable for live streaming with all appropriate mitigations.”
The statement continued: “Prior to Glastonbury, a decision was taken that real -time compliance risks on live streams could be reduced – through the use of language or material warnings – without the need to delay. This was not clearly the case.”
The BBC stated that the monitoring of live stream was “corresponding to the agreed compliance protocol and many issues were extended”.
A warning appeared on the stream on two occasions, but, he said: “The editorial team did not decide to cut the feed. It was an error.”
Davi, who was participating in Glestonbury himself that day, was “discovered what happened later, and instructed the team that none of the demonstrations should be included in further coverage”.
The BBC said the team on duty stopped the performance from being available on demand, which means that the set would not appear on the iPlayer or BBC sounds.
However, the live feed remained available for several hours, which means that the audience was able to see and see the material again.
The BBC said, “In view of the failures that have been accepted, we are taking action to ensure proper accountability for those responsible for those failures in live broadcasting.” “We will not comment further on those processes at this time.”
In a statement, BBC President Sameer Shah apologized “all our audience and listeners and especially the Jewish community apologize to ‘Artist’ Bob Waln to express anti -unacceptable anti -Jewish views on the BBC”.
“It was an error of undeniably decision. I was very happy to note that as soon as it came to the information of Tim Davi – who was on the Glastonbury site at the time of visiting the BBC employees – he took immediate action and directed the team to withdraw the performance from demand coverage.”
