BBC chairman Samir Shah has said the decision not to cut the live feed of Bob Vylan’s Glastonbury set was “unquestionably an error of judgement”.

Punk duo Bob Vylan led a chant of “death, death to the IDF [Israel Defence Forces]” during their set, which was available to watch via a live stream on iPlayer on Saturday.

Director-general Tim Davie has said the corporation is taking action to “ensure proper accountability” for those found to be responsible for the broadcast of a controversial Glastonbury set.

BBC News understands that a number of staff have been moved off their day-to-day duties from the music and live events team.

In a statement, Davie said he “deeply regrets that such offensive and deplorable behaviour appeared on the BBC and want to apologise to our viewers and listeners and in particular the Jewish community”.
