after michael gove, the uk's secretary of state for leveling up, announced the government's redefinition of extremism, we'll be examining the implications of his statement in this week's show. it seems mr. gobe is attempting to invoke the divide and rule tactics of the former british empire to weak. and the pro-palestine movement has been sweeping the country since october the 7th, as latif arab chakra will explain in this report. the british government has been grappling with the question of extremism for years now. it has failed even to define extremism in any clear fashion and has been struggling to fight back against an avalanche of criticism that its counter extremism policies are islamophobic. the genocide in gazza has focused mines in the british elete because of the massive. sympathy for the palestinians visible on the streets. the desperate attempts to cast pro-palestine protesters as genocidal is a desperate attempt to split the movement. the government is trying to reframe extremism in such a way that more radical supporters of palestinian liberation are demonized, criminalize

is that the easiest problem for michael gove to solve?it is and we have to grasp it and what michael has done todayis grasp it and what michael has done today is an intelligent attempt. i hope it will be successful but i am not pretending it is easy but when it comes to the definition, effectively, i will sum it up. intolerance and anti—democracy, and if you do either of those that i think your life will become more difficult. it will become more difficult. it will become more difficult to access funding. fix, difficult to access funding. a little bit more difficult. this is about individuals as well as groups and you heard jonathan saying there is real life applications for people, for example impacting on either mortgages, jobs, visas, so where is the fairness in that? where is the fairness _ where is the fairness in that? where is the fairness in _ where is the fairness in that? where is the fairness in preaching - where is the fairness in that? where is the fairness in preaching hatred? | is the fairness in preaching hatred? they are a

michael place in the second half of the year . michael gove place in the second half of the year. michael gove has named some of the groups to be investigated under a new definition of extremism, which he says will mean the government can express more clearly than ever who poses a risk to britain. some of the groups included are alleged to have islamist views, with others described as neo—nazi . see described as neo—nazi. see today's new extremism definition will be used to assess whether some groups should be marginalised or blocked from pubuc marginalised or blocked from public funding. but michael gove insists it's not about silencing those with private and peaceful beliefs . beliefs. >> we have to be clear eyed about the threat we face, precise about where that threat comes from and rigorous in defending our democracy. that means upholding freedom of expression, religion and belief when they are threatened, facing down harassment and hate, supporting the communities facing the greatest challenge from extremist activity, and ensuring this house and this country are safe, and co

the communities secretary, michael gove, has told mps that the government's new definition of extremism and rigorous", than the previous one. he said ministers had taken "every possible precaution" to strike a balance between protecting fundamental rights and safeguarding citizens. critics have warned the change could inhibit free speech and unfairly target muslim groups. let's listen to some more of what mr gove said in the house of commons. across this house, i am sure that we would agree that organisations such as the british national socialist movement and patriotic alternative, who promote neo—nazi ideology, argue for forced repatriation, a white ethno state and the targeting of minority groups for intimidation, are precisely the type of groups about which we should be concerned and whose activities we will assess against the new definition. the activities of these extreme right, of the extreme right—wing, are a growing worry. the targeting of both muslim and jewish communities and individuals by these groups is a profound concern, requiring concerted action. and it is important, j

was democracy, as michael gove was just speaking about?ince those deadly attacks by hamas on the 7th of october, you know, tensions between communities within communities have been rising here. we've seen rise in anti—muslim and anti—semitism, hatred, even the business of parliament has been affected. and as you just touched on, mps have been targeted as well. it's led to that big speech by the prime minister outside downing street on the 1st of march, where he wanted to address the spread of hate and division. and, of course, michael gove's speech today. so this has a security implication. that's what it's about, because it's through these extremist groups that freedom of expression is being suppressed . actually being suppressed. actually hatred is promoted. and in the worst cases , the worst cases, worst cases, the worst cases, youngsters with a scant under standing of the quran are recruited, radicalised, often online, to carry out deadly terrorist attacks. here in the uk . so i would not want to see uk. so i would not want to see peop

what we feel michael gove and this government is doing is playing politics with extremism at the expenseain communities, and this isn't illegal, criminalising of groups, but this is a list that the government will be putting together two label who it deems to be extreme. now, we have had reports that this is going to be impacting muslim community groups and palestinian advocacy groups, groups like ourselves. and the muslim council of britain which has been around for 26 years has been actively working with faith communities to tackle inequalities, social mobility, fight back on covid, elderly care. so it is really appalling and quite worrying for us that groups like us could also be on this list. let's speak to our political correspondent hannah miller. —— henry's ferman. there are two groups of critics, one root root fear is that in redefining extremism, the government risks creating more division. that was the message from the archbishop of canterbury and the archbishop of york, that has also been the message from some labour mps and we heard from some labour mps and we heard from thre

he was full of praise for michael gove who was the deputy essentiallyjoin the pandemic. was there to speak to the leaders of the nations but although he was like a skilled striker he didn't have a manager to back him up. before the lunch break we heard two very interesting pieces of historical events that took place and two meetings that took place that really show just meetings that took place that really showjust how unhappy the first minister was with borisjohnson during those times. the first was a cobra meeting on the 12th of march where the discussion was about banning large mass gatherings especially outdoors, it was a difficult meeting. there was a diverse range of opinions. make the's opinion was that if we want to get the messaging right it would make more sense to call it. mark drakeford said borisjohnson went round the room at the end said were not going to do because don says no. he was alluding to dominic cummings. mark drakeford was stunned that he would not go ahead with it for this reason. this was the example that mark drakeford gave of the relationship

michael gove has been facing questions on this this morning.these things exceptionally seriously, it would be the case that any assessment about whether or not an individual organisation is extremist would have to follow a rigorous process. it wouldn't be me making a decision on the basis of a quote, however horrific, it would be a due diligence process that would be conducted very carefully. it is interesting because typically the conservative party has been saying that it is against cancel culture. certainly that has been a dynamic for a long time and you heard some people, a government minister on tuesday morning just after these comments were first reported in the guardian newspaper saying, these comments were five years ago, he said he was wary of cancelling people for comments made in the past. frank hester must be noted, he has said he is deeply sorry for the comments. he insisted it was not about diane abbott's race or gender. for a little while that was a conservative party position but rishi sunak in the house of commons yesterday sai

gove. your colleague, michael gove.on redefining the terms extremism. and this seems to have prompted a bit of a backlash from within your own party. from three former home secretaries, no less, who are warning against the dangers of politicising it and indeed , politicising it and indeed, michael portillo yesterday on this very channel, also saying that actually, by meddling with these terms, you can often make these terms, you can often make the situation worse. do you recognise those concerns, and do you think michael gove is right to redefine it ? to redefine it? >> well, look, i think it's absolutely right that you shouldn't politicise extremism. that's exactly what we're not doing. what we're doing is we're making sure that the british people are kept safe from the various forms of extremism that we sadly see in our country that are trying to radicalise young people, by and large, young people, by and large, young people, into doing things that people, by and large, young peoincredibloning things that people, by a

so what's different about this new attempt from michael gove? introduced in 2011. it described extremism as "vocal or active opposition to fundamental british values, including democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty and mutual respect and tolerance of different faiths and belief." now, that definition raised all sorts of questions, not least, what is a fundamental british value? so the new definition, says mr gove, tries to give government departments clearer guidance. the new definition defines extremism as, "the promotion or advancement of an ideology based on violence, hatred or intolerance, that aims to negate or destroy the fundamental rights and freedoms of others, or undermine, overturn or replace the uk's system of liberal parliamentary democracy and democratic rights, intentionally create a permissive environment for others to achieve those results." what does this mean in practice? as we heard in the commons today, michael gove named a number of far—right and muslim groups that he says will be scrutinised for possible inclusion
