WEBVTT - The Glastonbury controversies, explained

0:00:00.520 --> 0:00:04.000
<v Speaker 1>Already, and this is the daily This is the Daily

0:00:04.120 --> 0:00:15.800
<v Speaker 1>os Oh, now it makes sense. Good morning and welcome

0:00:15.840 --> 0:00:19.000
<v Speaker 1>to the Daily Odds. It's Tuesday, the first July. Happy

0:00:19.040 --> 0:00:21.120
<v Speaker 1>new financial Year. I'm Lucy Tassel.

0:00:21.200 --> 0:00:22.160
<v Speaker 2>I'm Sam Cauzluski.

0:00:22.440 --> 0:00:26.479
<v Speaker 1>Over the weekend, Britain's biggest music festival, Glastonbury, was held

0:00:26.520 --> 0:00:30.280
<v Speaker 1>on a farm in southwest England. This year's edition made

0:00:30.360 --> 0:00:33.280
<v Speaker 1>more headlines than usual due to a pair of acts

0:00:33.640 --> 0:00:37.800
<v Speaker 1>Irish rap group Kneecap and English punk pair Bob Villain.

0:00:38.159 --> 0:00:41.680
<v Speaker 1>Kneecap's inclusion on the lineup was already newsworthy due to

0:00:41.840 --> 0:00:45.440
<v Speaker 1>one of its members facing a terrorism related charge, while

0:00:45.479 --> 0:00:48.720
<v Speaker 1>Bob Villain sparked a discussion by calling for quote death

0:00:48.800 --> 0:00:52.960
<v Speaker 1>to the IDF the Israeli Defense Forces. Mid set in

0:00:53.000 --> 0:00:56.720
<v Speaker 1>today's show, we'll break down the conversation around the two performances,

0:00:56.920 --> 0:00:59.880
<v Speaker 1>the government's reaction, and a woman named Helen from.

0:01:03.720 --> 0:01:05.440
<v Speaker 2>And Lucy. The first thing to say before we get

0:01:05.440 --> 0:01:08.560
<v Speaker 2>into this, as I'm sure listeners could already identify, is

0:01:08.560 --> 0:01:11.440
<v Speaker 2>that there's some pretty strong language in this episode. So

0:01:11.560 --> 0:01:13.480
<v Speaker 2>that's what it's saying upfront. The other thing, w what

0:01:13.560 --> 0:01:15.759
<v Speaker 2>it's saying upfront is that as much as we wanted

0:01:15.800 --> 0:01:18.440
<v Speaker 2>to be, you and I weren't there. We were still

0:01:18.480 --> 0:01:21.080
<v Speaker 2>here in Sydney, but over the weekend it felt like

0:01:21.360 --> 0:01:23.440
<v Speaker 2>I was there if I went on my phone. The

0:01:23.480 --> 0:01:26.600
<v Speaker 2>amount of content that was being uploaded from the festival.

0:01:26.640 --> 0:01:30.000
<v Speaker 2>Some heartwarming moments Lewis Capaldi returning to stage two years

0:01:30.000 --> 0:01:32.520
<v Speaker 2>after his last performance. Yeah, but there was also a

0:01:32.520 --> 0:01:35.959
<v Speaker 2>lot of footage of the performance by punk duo Bob Villain.

0:01:36.120 --> 0:01:36.280
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:01:36.480 --> 0:01:38.240
<v Speaker 2>Talk me through what happened to that set.

0:01:38.360 --> 0:01:40.760
<v Speaker 1>Well, I'll start by saying that the reason we saw

0:01:40.800 --> 0:01:44.160
<v Speaker 1>so many clips is because of the BBC, the UK's

0:01:44.160 --> 0:01:48.480
<v Speaker 1>public broadcaster. That's what our ABC is modeled on. In Australia.

0:01:48.520 --> 0:01:51.160
<v Speaker 1>We pay for the ABC through our taxes. In the UK,

0:01:51.360 --> 0:01:53.960
<v Speaker 1>they make a direct payment every year called the TV

0:01:54.160 --> 0:01:57.720
<v Speaker 1>license and it costs around three hundred and seventy Australian dollars.

0:01:58.200 --> 0:02:01.320
<v Speaker 1>And I mention all of this because the DBC broadcasts

0:02:01.480 --> 0:02:04.800
<v Speaker 1>glastow sets live and they also make them available on

0:02:04.840 --> 0:02:08.440
<v Speaker 1>their iPlayer later on, which is like the equivalent of iView.

0:02:08.600 --> 0:02:10.840
<v Speaker 2>And they're also on YouTube, which is where they're viewed

0:02:10.840 --> 0:02:13.560
<v Speaker 2>by people all over the world. Yeah, but it's a

0:02:13.639 --> 0:02:16.800
<v Speaker 2>relatively unique situation to have a lot of a festival

0:02:16.840 --> 0:02:20.120
<v Speaker 2>being filmed and broadcast live. What is the relationship between

0:02:20.400 --> 0:02:22.040
<v Speaker 2>the BBC and Glastonbury.

0:02:22.320 --> 0:02:25.240
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's They're not like an official sponsor or anything,

0:02:25.320 --> 0:02:29.040
<v Speaker 1>but they have broadcast glasson bresets for decades, originally on

0:02:29.080 --> 0:02:31.440
<v Speaker 1>the radio. You said it was relatively unique. I think

0:02:31.440 --> 0:02:35.000
<v Speaker 1>it's almost unique, But it's sort of like the ABC's

0:02:35.040 --> 0:02:37.399
<v Speaker 1>relationship with Splendor in the Graphs or what that used

0:02:37.440 --> 0:02:40.840
<v Speaker 1>to be, where the arm of the public broadcaster is

0:02:40.919 --> 0:02:43.120
<v Speaker 1>kind of bringing the show to people who can't attend

0:02:43.160 --> 0:02:47.519
<v Speaker 1>because it's culturally important and significant, and ahead of the festival,

0:02:47.600 --> 0:02:50.440
<v Speaker 1>we knew which sets the BBC would be broadcasting live

0:02:50.600 --> 0:02:53.880
<v Speaker 1>and which would be available later. And that meant that

0:02:54.000 --> 0:02:56.840
<v Speaker 1>when Bob Villain took the stage this duo, I should

0:02:56.840 --> 0:02:59.320
<v Speaker 1>say both of their members have the stage name Bobby Villain,

0:02:59.480 --> 0:03:01.600
<v Speaker 1>so just going to say Bob Villain for each.

0:03:02.240 --> 0:03:02.560
<v Speaker 3>Uh.

0:03:02.840 --> 0:03:04.920
<v Speaker 1>That meant that when they took the stage to perform

0:03:05.000 --> 0:03:07.840
<v Speaker 1>on Saturday afternoon local time, they knew that what they

0:03:07.880 --> 0:03:11.720
<v Speaker 1>said was going to be broadcast live on the public broadcaster.

0:03:13.040 --> 0:03:19.960
<v Speaker 4>We're seeing the UK and the US be complicit complicit

0:03:20.720 --> 0:03:26.000
<v Speaker 4>in war crimes and genocide happening over there to the

0:03:26.040 --> 0:03:29.079
<v Speaker 4>Palaestinian people. And uh, you know, I know we're on

0:03:29.160 --> 0:03:31.720
<v Speaker 4>the BBC. We're not going to say anything crazy. You're right,

0:03:32.400 --> 0:03:35.040
<v Speaker 4>believe that for them lads. But have you heard this

0:03:35.120 --> 0:03:38.640
<v Speaker 4>one though? Death theft to the I d F, def

0:03:38.680 --> 0:03:39.360
<v Speaker 4>to the id.

0:03:39.440 --> 0:03:44.240
<v Speaker 1>F, deaf to the I d F. So that's lead

0:03:44.320 --> 0:03:47.360
<v Speaker 1>vocalist Bobby Villain when he says them lads, and that

0:03:47.400 --> 0:03:50.240
<v Speaker 1>clip he's talking about Kneecap, the Irish group I mentioned

0:03:50.480 --> 0:03:53.480
<v Speaker 1>whose performance the BBC was not broadcasting.

0:03:53.640 --> 0:03:56.240
<v Speaker 2>Okay, so there's a couple of moving parts here before

0:03:56.280 --> 0:03:59.880
<v Speaker 2>we get into the reaction to the Bob Villain performance

0:04:00.360 --> 0:04:04.360
<v Speaker 2>and why Kneecap's performance wasn't being broadcast, give me some

0:04:04.360 --> 0:04:07.119
<v Speaker 2>context on Kneecap. This second group we're talking.

0:04:06.920 --> 0:04:10.480
<v Speaker 1>About, Yeah, Soneecap are an Irish rap trio. They're from

0:04:10.640 --> 0:04:12.880
<v Speaker 1>Northern Ireland, which is one of the four parts of

0:04:13.080 --> 0:04:16.360
<v Speaker 1>the United Kingdom. It has been since the nineteen twenties.

0:04:16.480 --> 0:04:19.839
<v Speaker 1>It's separated from the Republic of Ireland. We don't have

0:04:19.960 --> 0:04:22.920
<v Speaker 1>all week for me to sit here and explain hundreds

0:04:22.920 --> 0:04:26.080
<v Speaker 1>of years of Irish politics and unrest, but Suffice it

0:04:26.160 --> 0:04:28.640
<v Speaker 1>to say. The members of NCAP may have been born

0:04:28.760 --> 0:04:31.880
<v Speaker 1>over the border in the UK, but they are staunchly

0:04:32.000 --> 0:04:37.480
<v Speaker 1>pro up United Ireland outside of British control, so reintegrating

0:04:37.480 --> 0:04:40.680
<v Speaker 1>Northern Ireland into the Republic of Ireland. For example. You

0:04:40.680 --> 0:04:43.799
<v Speaker 1>can see their twenty nineteen track get your Brits Out,

0:04:44.040 --> 0:04:46.080
<v Speaker 1>which is sort of a punny way of saying, get

0:04:46.080 --> 0:04:46.880
<v Speaker 1>them out of Ireland.

0:04:47.680 --> 0:04:52.159
<v Speaker 3>You get your brands, your brands, We're get your brands,

0:04:52.400 --> 0:04:54.880
<v Speaker 3>and get your brands, your brands, We're.

0:04:56.600 --> 0:05:01.360
<v Speaker 1>Get your NIECAP are all so strong advocates for the

0:05:01.360 --> 0:05:04.120
<v Speaker 1>protection of the Irish language, which the English government has

0:05:04.120 --> 0:05:07.760
<v Speaker 1>a long history of suppressing. I mean literally nearly seven

0:05:07.839 --> 0:05:11.080
<v Speaker 1>hundred years since the English Parliament passed a law banning

0:05:11.120 --> 0:05:14.200
<v Speaker 1>anyone who lived in an English colony in Ireland from

0:05:14.400 --> 0:05:19.960
<v Speaker 1>speaking the Irish language, among many other cultural suppressions. They

0:05:20.080 --> 0:05:24.200
<v Speaker 1>have a semi autobiographical film that was released last year.

0:05:24.320 --> 0:05:26.360
<v Speaker 1>It's on Stan will pop the link in the show

0:05:26.400 --> 0:05:28.200
<v Speaker 1>notes if you want to know more about them. But

0:05:28.279 --> 0:05:30.040
<v Speaker 1>these are the kind of the key things to know

0:05:30.080 --> 0:05:33.039
<v Speaker 1>about them. They're a pro Irish Republic group, they care

0:05:33.120 --> 0:05:35.920
<v Speaker 1>very much about the Irish language, and they're a rap group.

0:05:36.160 --> 0:05:39.160
<v Speaker 2>And so what was the reason their performance wasn't being broadcast.

0:05:39.360 --> 0:05:42.520
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, so one of their three members, mo Tara, has

0:05:42.760 --> 0:05:47.160
<v Speaker 1>recently been charged with a terrorism related offense for allegedly

0:05:47.240 --> 0:05:51.520
<v Speaker 1>displaying a hes Bola flag on stage in twenty twenty three. Now,

0:05:51.720 --> 0:05:54.280
<v Speaker 1>for those who don't know or might need a refresher,

0:05:54.560 --> 0:05:59.120
<v Speaker 1>Hezbollah is a Lebanese militia. It's backed by Iran, Australia

0:05:59.160 --> 0:06:02.720
<v Speaker 1>and the UK BO listed as a terrorist organization and

0:06:02.839 --> 0:06:05.880
<v Speaker 1>it's illegal in the UK to show support for it,

0:06:05.960 --> 0:06:10.560
<v Speaker 1>including displaying its flag. Now, Mocha is a waiting further

0:06:10.640 --> 0:06:13.920
<v Speaker 1>proceedings relating to the twenty twenty three charge, and both

0:06:13.920 --> 0:06:17.560
<v Speaker 1>he and Neecap have not denied the incident, but they

0:06:17.680 --> 0:06:21.200
<v Speaker 1>argue their work is rooted in political commentary, satire and

0:06:21.520 --> 0:06:25.479
<v Speaker 1>artistic expression. In light of the ongoing proceedings, the BBC

0:06:25.640 --> 0:06:28.440
<v Speaker 1>chose not to broadcast They're set live, though it was

0:06:28.560 --> 0:06:31.720
<v Speaker 1>later made available to watch on My Player again like.

0:06:31.720 --> 0:06:34.159
<v Speaker 2>iView and the main way that we're engaging with clips

0:06:34.200 --> 0:06:37.839
<v Speaker 2>from that performance is from crowdsourced. Yes right, yes.

0:06:38.000 --> 0:06:41.520
<v Speaker 1>So there's a woman called Helen Wilson. She's from Wales

0:06:41.720 --> 0:06:44.000
<v Speaker 1>and she knew that it wasn't going to be broadcast live,

0:06:44.400 --> 0:06:47.160
<v Speaker 1>so she live streamed their set from her phone to

0:06:47.440 --> 0:06:49.880
<v Speaker 1>thousands of people at a time, including at one point

0:06:50.000 --> 0:06:51.880
<v Speaker 1>I think she said she burnt her finger because her

0:06:51.920 --> 0:06:54.920
<v Speaker 1>phone was getting so hot. And Kneecap were on after

0:06:55.000 --> 0:06:59.039
<v Speaker 1>Bob Villain. So we've had this broadcast live set, including

0:06:59.120 --> 0:07:02.160
<v Speaker 1>this very strong language, and then we've had Kneecap set

0:07:02.400 --> 0:07:05.240
<v Speaker 1>which is not being broadcast live except by Helen from Wales.

0:07:05.680 --> 0:07:11.800
<v Speaker 1>During this set they led a chant of free, Free Palestine.

0:07:13.640 --> 0:07:16.640
<v Speaker 1>They also led a chant of fuck kir Starmer. So

0:07:16.800 --> 0:07:18.680
<v Speaker 1>again that's that strong language we were talking about.

0:07:18.840 --> 0:07:19.600
<v Speaker 2>We did give a warning.

0:07:19.640 --> 0:07:22.760
<v Speaker 1>We gave a warning the UK Prime Minister. He said

0:07:22.840 --> 0:07:25.840
<v Speaker 1>they shouldn't be allowed to play the festival. And we

0:07:25.920 --> 0:07:29.320
<v Speaker 1>know that they are very outspoken about Israel's actions in Gaza.

0:07:29.800 --> 0:07:32.760
<v Speaker 2>Give me a sense of why that is the case

0:07:32.800 --> 0:07:36.720
<v Speaker 2>that we have this group, very rooted in Irish politics,

0:07:36.800 --> 0:07:41.280
<v Speaker 2>culture and identity, being so outspoken about the Israel situation

0:07:41.400 --> 0:07:41.880
<v Speaker 2>in Gaza.

0:07:42.040 --> 0:07:44.720
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, so they have said they want innocent people to

0:07:44.720 --> 0:07:47.239
<v Speaker 1>stop being killed. I also think a lot of people

0:07:47.280 --> 0:07:51.880
<v Speaker 1>have become more outspoken in various directions following Hamas's attack

0:07:51.920 --> 0:07:55.320
<v Speaker 1>on Israel on October seven, twenty twenty three, and then

0:07:55.720 --> 0:07:59.720
<v Speaker 1>during Israel's ensuing war with Hamas in Gaza that has

0:07:59.760 --> 0:08:04.040
<v Speaker 1>dis placed most of the population and caused a humanitarian crisis.

0:08:04.640 --> 0:08:07.040
<v Speaker 1>One of the most recent updates from the region was

0:08:07.240 --> 0:08:11.960
<v Speaker 1>from before the festival. That was Israeli media reporting IDF

0:08:12.040 --> 0:08:15.560
<v Speaker 1>soldiers had been ordered to shoot Palestinian civilians waiting to

0:08:15.960 --> 0:08:19.800
<v Speaker 1>collect food at the US Israeli run aid distribution sites.

0:08:20.080 --> 0:08:23.200
<v Speaker 1>I'll be clear that Prime Minister Benjamin Nettnyal who has

0:08:23.280 --> 0:08:26.800
<v Speaker 1>denied this report, it's against that backdrop that we hear

0:08:27.120 --> 0:08:31.160
<v Speaker 1>those comments from Bob Villain saying death death to the IDF,

0:08:31.400 --> 0:08:34.280
<v Speaker 1>which was obviously kind of the biggest story out of

0:08:34.280 --> 0:08:37.000
<v Speaker 1>the festival. And I'm talking Aboutneecap right now, But just

0:08:37.000 --> 0:08:41.720
<v Speaker 1>to recap, like why Bob Villain was particularly making those comments,

0:08:41.760 --> 0:08:44.160
<v Speaker 1>perhaps and also knowing that he was going to be

0:08:44.200 --> 0:08:46.640
<v Speaker 1>live streamed and that Kneecap, as I said, weren't going

0:08:46.679 --> 0:08:50.480
<v Speaker 1>to be live streamed, might have contributed to the strength

0:08:50.520 --> 0:08:54.280
<v Speaker 1>of those comments or the intensity of those comments. Then,

0:08:54.440 --> 0:08:56.600
<v Speaker 1>just to return tonecap I would also point to the

0:08:56.600 --> 0:08:59.280
<v Speaker 1>fact that the UK government was part of the move

0:08:59.360 --> 0:09:02.000
<v Speaker 1>to split all then Island off from the rest of Ireland,

0:09:02.400 --> 0:09:06.000
<v Speaker 1>becoming part of the UK that was part of treaty negotiations,

0:09:06.160 --> 0:09:09.320
<v Speaker 1>ending a wave of violence. A kneecap who seek for

0:09:09.360 --> 0:09:12.440
<v Speaker 1>Ireland to be united might draw comparisons with the way

0:09:12.520 --> 0:09:16.000
<v Speaker 1>the United Nations contributed to the creation of the state

0:09:16.040 --> 0:09:19.600
<v Speaker 1>of Israel in the nineteen forties, partitioning it from the

0:09:19.720 --> 0:09:23.880
<v Speaker 1>UK controlled Palestinian territory. And it's that same word used

0:09:23.920 --> 0:09:28.079
<v Speaker 1>in both processes, partition, separation. So I think that could

0:09:28.080 --> 0:09:31.440
<v Speaker 1>be this is just analysis. I think it could be related.

0:09:32.040 --> 0:09:34.719
<v Speaker 2>And so you have two groups of performers hitting the

0:09:34.760 --> 0:09:36.520
<v Speaker 2>stage at one of the biggest festivals in the world

0:09:36.679 --> 0:09:39.320
<v Speaker 2>using language that are particularly in that example of death

0:09:39.400 --> 0:09:41.480
<v Speaker 2>to the IDF is an incitement of violence.

0:09:41.679 --> 0:09:41.839
<v Speaker 1>Yea.

0:09:42.280 --> 0:09:45.360
<v Speaker 2>What has the reaction been on the ground to those

0:09:45.400 --> 0:09:45.920
<v Speaker 2>two sets?

0:09:46.120 --> 0:09:48.959
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, So on the ground at the festival, you can

0:09:49.000 --> 0:09:51.800
<v Speaker 1>hear in the clips that I've played, the crowds join

0:09:51.880 --> 0:09:55.080
<v Speaker 1>in the chants, they cheer for the acts. Outside the

0:09:55.120 --> 0:09:58.200
<v Speaker 1>festival things have been more mixed. The BBC has not

0:09:58.280 --> 0:10:01.839
<v Speaker 1>uploaded Bob Villains set to iPlayer. In a statement it

0:10:01.920 --> 0:10:05.960
<v Speaker 1>called the comments quote deeply offensive. Nieecaps is available, though

0:10:05.960 --> 0:10:09.720
<v Speaker 1>the BBC said it had been edited from the festival organizers.

0:10:09.720 --> 0:10:12.680
<v Speaker 1>We have this statement. We are appalled by the statements

0:10:12.720 --> 0:10:15.960
<v Speaker 1>made by Bob Villain yesterday. Their chance very much crossed

0:10:15.960 --> 0:10:18.680
<v Speaker 1>the line and we are urgently reminding everyone involved in

0:10:18.720 --> 0:10:21.040
<v Speaker 1>the production of the festival that there is no place

0:10:21.080 --> 0:10:25.480
<v Speaker 1>at Glastonbury for anti Semitism, hate speech or incitement to violence,

0:10:26.240 --> 0:10:29.000
<v Speaker 1>and local police are investigating to find out if any

0:10:29.360 --> 0:10:32.800
<v Speaker 1>offenses were carried out. The Israeli Embassy in the UK

0:10:33.000 --> 0:10:36.160
<v Speaker 1>put out a statement. They said when such messages are

0:10:36.160 --> 0:10:39.200
<v Speaker 1>delivered before tens of thousands of festival goers and met

0:10:39.200 --> 0:10:43.200
<v Speaker 1>with applause, it raises serious concerns about the normalization of

0:10:43.240 --> 0:10:46.440
<v Speaker 1>extremist language and the glorification of violence.

0:10:46.720 --> 0:10:49.719
<v Speaker 2>I'm interested to see if there was any reaction from Kistama,

0:10:49.760 --> 0:10:52.360
<v Speaker 2>the UK Prime Minister and the government. Neecap led a

0:10:52.440 --> 0:10:54.960
<v Speaker 2>chant against him. Have we heard from the government.

0:10:55.120 --> 0:10:57.640
<v Speaker 1>So he called it appalling hate speech. I should say

0:10:57.640 --> 0:11:01.160
<v Speaker 1>he was talking about Bob Villain's comments, not Neecaps, but

0:11:01.400 --> 0:11:04.840
<v Speaker 1>he did say that he had said that Neecaps shouldn't perform.

0:11:05.240 --> 0:11:08.920
<v Speaker 1>To me, the most interesting comments came from Wes Streeting,

0:11:09.280 --> 0:11:12.360
<v Speaker 1>so he's in charge of Health. He's effectively the health minister,

0:11:12.920 --> 0:11:15.760
<v Speaker 1>and he not only responded to Bob Villan's comments, he

0:11:15.800 --> 0:11:19.839
<v Speaker 1>also responded to the Israeli Embassy's comments. Here's what he said.

0:11:20.280 --> 0:11:23.640
<v Speaker 3>If I take the equivalent of the war in Ukraine,

0:11:24.080 --> 0:11:26.280
<v Speaker 3>I'm unequivocal about which side of that war I'm on.

0:11:26.400 --> 0:11:29.920
<v Speaker 3>I want Ukraine to win. Would I be celebrating or

0:11:30.000 --> 0:11:32.199
<v Speaker 3>chanting for the death of Russian soldiers.

0:11:32.600 --> 0:11:32.680
<v Speaker 2>No.

0:11:32.960 --> 0:11:34.560
<v Speaker 3>I want see an end to the war, and I

0:11:34.600 --> 0:11:38.199
<v Speaker 3>want to see an end to the conflict. I'd also

0:11:38.280 --> 0:11:42.080
<v Speaker 3>say to the Israeli embassy, get your own house in order.

0:11:42.120 --> 0:11:44.800
<v Speaker 3>In terms of the conduct of your own citizens and

0:11:44.840 --> 0:11:47.120
<v Speaker 3>the settlers in the West Bank, I think there's a

0:11:47.160 --> 0:11:49.920
<v Speaker 3>serious point there by the Israeli embassy I take seriously.

0:11:50.320 --> 0:11:52.600
<v Speaker 3>I wish they'd take the violence of their own citizens

0:11:52.600 --> 0:11:54.560
<v Speaker 3>towards Palestinians more seriously.

0:11:54.920 --> 0:11:55.040
<v Speaker 2>So.

0:11:55.120 --> 0:11:58.680
<v Speaker 1>Streeting was referring there to Israeli settlers in the West

0:11:58.760 --> 0:12:03.800
<v Speaker 1>Bank attacking Palestinians aided by IDF soldiers last week. That's

0:12:03.800 --> 0:12:08.160
<v Speaker 1>according to Palestinian health authorities. Israeli settlements in the West

0:12:08.240 --> 0:12:11.840
<v Speaker 1>Bank are considered illegal by the UN under international law.

0:12:12.080 --> 0:12:14.800
<v Speaker 2>I think what's interesting about this story is that the

0:12:14.920 --> 0:12:17.880
<v Speaker 2>story is grounded in a music festival, a very popular

0:12:17.960 --> 0:12:22.680
<v Speaker 2>music festival, but it's quickly become a story about international politics,

0:12:22.679 --> 0:12:28.319
<v Speaker 2>international war, international law, and this link between the arts

0:12:28.360 --> 0:12:33.440
<v Speaker 2>and politics, and they seem almost inseparable, and that they,

0:12:33.920 --> 0:12:36.640
<v Speaker 2>over history seem to find ways to intersect with each other,

0:12:36.920 --> 0:12:39.640
<v Speaker 2>even on some of the biggest stages in the world. So,

0:12:39.720 --> 0:12:41.920
<v Speaker 2>just to reiterate, at the moment, there hasn't been official

0:12:42.000 --> 0:12:45.320
<v Speaker 2>charges laid the time of recording. No, okay, thank you

0:12:45.400 --> 0:12:48.360
<v Speaker 2>Lucy for taking us through that. A complicated incident, but

0:12:48.520 --> 0:12:51.000
<v Speaker 2>one worth talking about. And that's how we've got from

0:12:51.040 --> 0:12:52.800
<v Speaker 2>the Daily os newsroom. We're going to be back in

0:12:52.800 --> 0:12:59.040
<v Speaker 2>the afternoon with your headlines. Until then, have a great day.
