Channel 4 News has been criticised over an interview with an Israeli journalist who was filmed being abused as he walked around Paris wearing a kippah.

Journalist Zvika Klein, whose video went viral this week, told C4 that he felt “scared and frightened” after he faced verbal attacks in predominately Muslim neigbourhoods.

But the C4 journalist went on to ask Mr Klein whether the video was “an act of provocation”.

A spokeswoman for the broadcaster said: "C4N has received two complaints on this."
