The BBC briefly halted a live broadcast on the United Kingdom’s A-level results day after an interviewed student pivoted from discussing exam grades to condemning Israel’s military campaign in Gaza and criticising the broadcaster. In footage circulating online, the student, believed to be in Liverpool, opened their results and then said, “On that note, I want to say Free Palestine, end the genocide and the BBC is complicit.” The reporter immediately attempted to steer the conversation back to education, stating that “Gaza is a whole different subject,” before cutting the segment. The clip has since been widely shared, drawing renewed scrutiny of the BBC’s coverage of the Israel-Hamas conflict and sparking debate over editorial control during live interviews. The BBC has not yet issued a public comment on the incident.
