More gigs cancelled in Germany amid 'kill your MP' controversy

Irish rap group Kneecap has had three more German concerts cancelled following a controversy over a video appearing to incite violence against MPs. Counter-terrorism police are reviewing footage of the band allegedly calling for MPs' deaths. The band's manager calls the backlash a "smear campaign" aimed at silencing their pro-Palestine views. Further cancellations include UK gigs, sparking debate among politicians. The band maintains their message is about love and support for Palestine, issuing apologies to the families of murdered MPs David Amess and Jo Cox.
