BBC deemed Bob Vylan ‘high risk’ before Glastonbury

General Manager Tim Davie saw Bob Vylan as “high risk” before the BBC’s controversial Glastonbury sets.

Punk duo “Death, death to IDF [Israel Defence Forces]”During their sets, he was able to watch on Saturday with a live stream on Iplayer.

General Manager Tim Davie said that the company has taken action to “provide appropriate accountability” for those found to be responsible for the publication.

BBC News understands that some personnel have moved from their daily tasks from the music and live event team.

BBC President Samir Shah said that the decision not to withdraw the live feed was “an indisputable judicial error”.

Davie said in a statement, “Such aggressive and pitiful behaviors appear in the BBC, and our audiences and listeners and especially the Jewish community wanted to apologize deeply regretted,” he said.

Davie said Bob Vylan was considered to be “a high risk after a risk assessment process for all actions appearing in Glastonbury.”

“Seven actions, including Bob Vylan, were included in this category, and they were all suitable for live flow with appropriate lightening.”

“Before Glastonbury, it was decided that the risks of conformity could be alleviated in real time without the need for delay – using language or content warnings – using language or content warnings. This was not clear.”

Davie said that the live flow “was monitored in line with the agreed adaptation protocols and has increased a number of problems”.

Warnings emerged twice in the flow, but added: “The editor team decided not to stop feeding. It was a mistake.”

Davie himself “realized what happened later, and instructed the team that none of the performance should not be covered more”.

The BBC said that the team in charge gives priority to preventing performance from becoming usable on demand, ie the set of the set will not appear in the sounds of BBC.

However, the live feed remained available for several hours, so the audience was able to get the content back and view it.

“Given the accepted failures, we take action to provide appropriate accountability for those found to be responsible for these failures in the live broadcast.” He said. “We will not make any more comments about these processes right now.”

Davie also said that BBC will make “urgent changes in live music events”.

He said that they would include:

• Any music performance, which is accepted as high risk by BBC, will no longer be broadcast live or live live
• The Editorial Policy Unit of the company will always present at big music festivals and activities to improve compliance processes and the speed of existing recommendations.
• The BBC will provide more detailed and practical guidance on a vibrant withdrawal threshold.

BBC President Samir Shah apologized to all our audiences and listeners and especially the Jewish community for allowing the “artist” to express that Bob Vylan lived in BBC.

He continued: “This was an indisputable judicial error. When the BBC staff visited the Glastonbury site when Tim Davie came to the notification, immediately took action and the team instructed the demand for the request.”
