Minister says BBC has ‘questions to answer’ over Bob Vylan
Education minister Baroness Smith says the BBC has “questions to answer” over why it allowed a Glastonbury set by Bob Vylan containing discriminatory language to be broadcast.
The BBC is facing questions after rapper Bob Vylan - of the rap punk duo - led crowds at the festival's West Holts Stage in chants of: "Free, free Palestine" and: "Death, death to the IDF (Israel Defence Forces)" on Saturday.

A tragic stampede at the Lairai Devi temple in Goa’s Shirgao village claimed six lives and left around 80 injured during the fire-walking ritual of the Lairai Zatra festival. Goa Chief Minister Pramod Sawant confirmed the fatalities and pledged full support to victims' families. Five of the injured are critical and on ventilator support, according to state health minister Vishwajit Rane. Prime Minister Modi extended condolences.

Iran’s judiciary has reported that 935 people were killed during the 12-day Israeli aerial bombardment, according to forensics data cited by state media. Among the dead are 132 women and 38 children, indicating the significant civilian toll. The Israeli military has stated it targeted Iranian military leaders, nuclear scientists, and facilities, including suspected nuclear development sites.
While Israel claims its strikes were strategic and defense-oriented, Iranian officials have condemned them as indiscriminate and brutal, escalating tensions in an already fragile region. The death toll adds weight to calls for international accountability and raises questions about the conduct of war and proportionality in military engagements. The 12-day conflict marked one of the most intense escalations between the two nations, with ripple effects across the Middle East. As both countries navigate the aftermath, Iran is pushing for diplomatic and legal responses while also reinforcing its defense capabilities.

More than 580 Palestinians have been killed and over 4,200 injured while standing in line for humanitarian aid in Gaza, according to the latest data from the Gaza Media Office. Eyewitness reports and Israeli media reveal shocking claims that IDF soldiers were ordered to fire on unarmed, starving civilians—men, women, and children—desperate for food.
The UN has condemned the US-Israel airdrop system as a “death trap”, calling it a catastrophic failure of humanitarian response. A new study, led by the University of London and Palestinian scholars, reveals that nearly 100,000 people have died since the start of Israel’s war on Gaza—most from airstrikes, many from starvation and disease.
This video unpacks the systematic targeting of civilians, the crumbling infrastructure, and the global silence in the face of a growing humanitarian catastrophe. Rights groups are calling this a modern genocide. Will the world act before it's too late?

In a fiery political escalation, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt took direct aim at Zohran Mamdani — the presumptive Democratic frontrunner in the New York City mayoral race — accusing him of embodying “radical” left-wing ideals. Labeling Democrats as “doubling down on craziness,” Leavitt claimed Mamdani's policies threaten the “very fabric of the country.”
The attack reflects growing Republican unease with Mamdani’s rising influence, particularly after his viral interview clip showed him eating biryani with his hands while championing Third World-inspired politics. With his open support for Palestine, socialism, and progressive reform, Mamdani has drawn praise and vitriol in equal measure. As Trump’s White House attempts to frame the 2025 elections as a choice between order and chaos, Mamdani is emerging as a lightning rod in the cultural and political battlefield. The clash signals a deeper national confrontation brewing around race, identity, and radicalism.

A Texas Republican Congressman, Brandon Gill, sparked outrage after making a racist remark against Indian-origin New York politician Zohran Mamdani for eating biryani with his hands. Gill reshared a video of Mamdani eating during an interview and wrote, “Civilized people in America don’t eat like this. Go back to the Third World.”
The video showed Mamdani discussing taboo topics in U.S. politics while calmly eating. Ironically, Gill is married to Danielle D’Souza, daughter of Indian-American commentator Dinesh D’Souza. Social media erupted, highlighting hypocrisy and sharing photos of Trump eating with his hands. Gill has a history of racist rhetoric, recently posting two contrasting pictures of Los Angeles to argue against immigration. Mamdani, born in Uganda and raised in NYC, was explaining how his worldview on Palestine is shaped by his Third World roots. The comment by Gill has triggered a larger debate on race, culture, and what defines “American values.”

Tensions exploded in Kafr Malik, West Bank, as dozens of Israeli settlers stormed the town, torching property and clashing with locals. Israeli forces responded to the chaos, fatally shooting three Palestinians and wounding seven more. The Israeli army claims Palestinians opened fire, while Palestinian authorities call the killings unjustified. A separate army raid in Al-Yamun killed a young boy. International outrage is mounting, with Palestinian leaders warning of regional escalation and urging urgent intervention to protect civilians from settler violence and Israeli military force.
