..Protest disrupts Proms performance
Press Association – 2 hours 6 minutes ago......
Protesters have disrupted a Proms performance by the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra …
....A Proms performance by the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra (IPO) was disrupted by protesters.
The orchestra was due to perform at the prestigious BBC Proms in London despite calls for a boycott of its performance.
However a live broadcast of the performance on Thursday night was taken off air after protesters interrupted the concert at the Royal Albert Hall.
A BBC spokeswoman confirmed there had been a disruption during the performance, but that the live broadcast had been taken off air on Radio 3.
The BBC Proms team tweeted: "We're sorry that the concert was taken off air following hall disturbance. Glad both pieces were heard by the audience in the RAH."
The team later added: "We regret that as a result of sustained audience disturbance tonight's concert was taken off BBC Radio 3."
Pro-Palestinian group The Palestine Solidarity Campaign had called for the BBC to cancel the concert, claiming the IPO showed "complicity in whitewashing Israel's persistent violations of international law and human rights".
It urged people to boycott the event in a protest against it.
