- Director-general Tim Davie told MPs the Bob Vylan Glastonbury stream was an antisemitic broadcast and a very significant mistake, adding that individuals involved face consequences.
- Davie said he ordered the performance removed from on-demand once alerted and confirmed the BBC has halted live coverage of high-risk acts and is rolling out antisemitism training.
- He cautioned that more revelations may surface as the corporation pursues misconduct cases, saying he cannot guarantee there will be no further abuse-of-power scandals.
- On Gaza: How To Survive A Warzone, Davie called the broadcast a bad mistake that breached guidelines and said people connected to the decision are facing consequences.
- Davie said MasterChef hosts Gregg Wallace and John Torode are no longer working with the BBC following an independent review, and the previously filmed series aired after most contestants supported transmission, with new hosts now in place.
