The glass doors, wall and pavement outside the BBC's London headquarters were soaked with red paint. A pro-Palestinian group has claimed responsibility.
A pro-Palestinian group has claimed responsibility for covering the entrance of the BBC's New Broadcasting House building in London with red paint. The paint spans the glass doors, wall and pavement outside the broadcaster's London headquarters, as well as its Hanover Building in Liverpool city centre. Palestine Action posted on X, formerly Twitter, to say it was behind the paint stunt.
A Metropolitan Police spokesman said: 'We are aware of criminal damage to a building in Portland Place, W1A.' The BBC has faced criticism in recent days for not describing Hamas militants as terrorists in its coverage of the Israel-Hamas war. Images of the paint were initially shared on social media by a number of BBC employees, including presenter Victoria Derbyshire, who posted a video of the scene on X.
