this because you don't. always go to. the north you. go to. the you want to still go to. the u.k. for a rather cool muslim cleric accused of inspiring terror attacks was led to the prison. to report. notorious radical preacher anjem choudary has in fact been released following having served just half of his five and a half year prison sentence of course was put in jail back in twenty sixteen for encouraging people to join isis and the british prime minister theresa may says the
12:10 pm
authorities are prepared for this development on the question of anjem choudary obviously an extremist picture he pledged his allegiance to he was convicted of influencing support for them. but if and when any tourist offend is released well rehearsed plans are put in place to keep the public safe and the police they presume the probation service and other agencies have a range of powers available to them the fifty five year old father of five who had once led an extremist group that was banned terrorist by u.k. was going to be serving the rest of his sentence in community on license which essentially means he will be monitored by the m i five the police and other agencies he will not be free and will have to follow what's being described as a list of compliance is that if he were to violate he. might potentially go back to jail and those just as we've heard includes things like new preaching or going to

certain mosques no interaction with people outside of those that were approved by officials he would allow to he would be allowed to have only one phone although that's not clear how that's not enough to be able to communicate with whoever is desired his internet access would be supervised and he also has some kind of travel in terms of being able to move around london but also he's not going to be able to leave the u.k. and reportedly the cost of what's being described as a huge security operation following his released reports here in the u.k. are suggesting that amount is going to be as much as two million pounds a year compared to what's also reportedly described as fifty thousand pounds that he would have cost the taxpayer while he was still behind bars and of course reactions to those revelations were very swift to follow it's crazy to put the public in danger and spend two million pounds a year monitoring extremist anjum choudhry we could be following australia's lead to keep him locked up the extensive list of constraints on and jim chartres welcome
12:12 pm
. the fact that he's being released that's all and that's imposing these constraints will cost the taxpayer two million pounds per annum is a bore and those argue mother wise are almost as dangerous as he is the release of anjem choudary who claims some of those citizens are foreigners in their own home is a threat to our security is betraying all of us and we need to defend all communities in their own nation we need a new treason act well indeed this could be seen as quite a concerning development this man did not actually organize any terrorist attacks themselves but nonetheless he is known as one of the most infamous radicalized there is in this country british media commentator neil wallis told me he thinks chaudry is simply too dangerous to be released now. if they believe he is this potentially dangerous if the reports are true that we've all read in the papers of people saying if anything he's got more radically in jail since he's been inside
12:13 pm
why on earth are they releasing him if this was a man who. had was a rapist something which he fully approved of incidentally for isis and anybody who wasn't one of their followers but if this man was a rapist and he was saying in jail i'm going to rape or soon as i get out would they allow him out this guy has inspired attack after attack after attack dreadful atrocities on the streets of britain and yet we're letting him out of jail . from russia a powerful blast is what the turn to get should innocent petersburg in the north of the country the explosion ripped through a fireworks factory partially destroying the building has been confirmed two people have been killed three others injured of the injured employees one is the critical condition the other two have received medical aid seems they've been discharged now from hospital the rescue services say the blast was caused by technical issues that factoring heat and lot of devastation there the criminal investigations been

harder to police what he calls genuine crime the first priority of any government is the protection of the people let us focus urgently on genuine crime supported by basic evidence let's not encourage people to think we can solve deep social problems or give employment people manners so should the police be dealing with things like wolf whistling and ages them we want to see what london this thing i think you'd rather than focus on burglaries on facebook i say focus on trying to cut down the crime it's obscene the police to decide how they spend their resources i mean i would like to see more police on the beat on the street but that doesn't seem to be a very high priority in my day through all that are being pulled away from what i think most poor goal is bread and butter issues of policing going after criminals most goes towards large to go after. called crowds which might be
