Investigation into a London Tube driver who appeared to chant pro-Palestinian slogans on a train's public address system. Passengers joined in the chanting as they were en-route to a pro-Palestinian march.

Both the British Transport Police (BTP) and Transport for London (TfL) are urgently investigating the incident.
