anjum chowdhury was charge. home in ilford in east london, last july following an extensive operation involving both american and canadian partners. he was charged with being in the caretaker role for a for a group that's been banned since 2010, called al—muhajiroun. he took over this role, prosecutors said, after its founder, omar bakn said, after its founder, omar bakri mohammed, fled britain to lebanon, where he was jailed in 2014, with anjum chowdhury taking over that position and running that terrorist organisation. these charges revolve around lectures that he gave in 2021 to 2023 online to a branch in the us called the islamic thinkers society. now dominic murphy, the commander of met police's counter terrorism command , reflected on the command, reflected on the significance of those verdicts handed down today. >> we know that anjem chowdhury's had involvement with individuals that have committed terrorist attacks here in the uk in the past, but also travelled overseas to join isis. so actually disruptin

following a trial at woolwich crown court , chowdhury was crown court, chowdhury was convicted of taking now with gb news national reporter charlie peters. charlie justice has been a long time coming for anjum chowdhury, but it seems today he finally ran out of time. tell us more. >> justice a long time coming , >> justice a long time coming, but also this has been a significant objective from the uk intelligence and counter—terrorism for community decades. >> because al—muhajiroun and anjem choudary have been key radicalises in recent years and this charge now, the successful conviction on section 56 of the terrorism act, which is for directing a terrorist organisation, is extremely rare. last handed down in 2008 for a mastermind of al—qaeda. but anjum chowdhury, receiving that conviction alongside two others, not only for being a member of al—muhajiroun but also for encouraging support for it. now, in the course of this trial, we also saw him set alongside his co—defendant, khalid hussain, who was also on charge for being a member of al—muhajiroun. he was a canadian national and his in

and jim chowdhury , 28 years in jail, the chowdhury, 28 years in jail, the islamist hate preacher.is the real work going to begin now? will he continue his badge of honour, as he called it, as britain's number one radicalise, or will he become the most poisonous influence inside british prisons ? influence inside british prisons? does the hard work actually begin right now and today on the quiet, without anybody, even noticing? on the last day of parliament, the labour party is trying to get rid of the european scrutiny committee for over 40 years. it's kept a beady eye on brussels, making sure eu rules don't get their snouts in the trough of britain today quietly being put to sleep, i'll have the chairman of the committee, sir bill cash, on my show, saying why this is a day brexiteers should stand up and take notice. is this the first of another sign of the long road to rejoin from sir keir starmer's labour party? all that 3 to 6. >> hugely important story. there martin. so glad you are covering it. we will be tuning in from 3 pm. now. p.m. now. >> the nine year old girl killed in

look, you you've known chowdhury for quite a long time, i believe, haven't you?plain to us the circumstances behind that interaction? >> it's been about, 18 years, i think i met him first at a protest. ironically outside the old bailey. i suppose, and since then, it's been, you know, a regular stream of, you know, meets over the years whenever he's been in the news or there's been a topic which, he has got some link to. and as the years went by, he would introduce me to his followers, his disciples. and i always thought it was useful to keep in contact because these people ended up going and fighting for isis. >> yeah, well , going and fighting for isis. >> yeah, well, yeah. going and fighting for isis. >> yeah, well , yeah. absolutely. >> yeah, well, yeah. absolutely. i mean, the web of terror, anjem choudary is i managed to kind of embed himself in is absolutely astonishing, isn't it? so so it's fair to say, then, that anjan chowdhury isn't a massive fan of prince harry, i take it. and, did it come as a shock to you to find out that, you know, anjem is now faci

. >> reporter: when the stars of the 49ers took the field in santa clara, 14-year-old isys chowdhury was taking notes on everything she saw. >> i like the roughness, the competitiveness, i like the plays, i like seeing the ball and catching it. >> reporter: but she is not just a football spectator. she is a part of a new generation of female football players. last season, she was the star of her own championship winning team on the vallejo flag football team for girls, sponsored by the 49ers. she scored touchdowns on offense and defense as a receiver and safety, and she has the championship ring to prove it. >> if everything is cool about football to me. i love it. >> reporter: she came to the 49ers practice with her stepdad, brian chapman. brian is a former football star in texas and introduced her to the game. >> they exceeded and everything. she proved me and a lot of people wrong , winning and being aggressive and really taking advantage of everything she has. >> reporter: it hasn't been easy. she talks about going through hard times after her biological father, adam chowdhury wa

chowdhury, zia yousef and andy williams. let's just carry on this conversation, i'm just putting to you. you are a former, i was going to say top boss in the met police, i'm putting to you this sentiment that many people have that there is a two tier policing approach. i've explained to you that, people see, different opinion responses on the two riots and so on and so forth. what's your reaction to that? yeah, interesting. >> i think that part of this has really sort of ignited as a result of the, pro—palestinian protests that we've seen for the last 8 to 9 months where many members of the public feel that insufficient numbers of those protesters are actually being arrested, or that they've been described as hate marches, especially particularly by, previously suella braverman , previously suella braverman, which doesn't help at all. and then what happens is that you get protests like this and people are arrested, and it results in a lot of violence. those protests resulted in ever since then, something like 500 arrests. th

but even if somebody like chowdhury is awaiting trial, as he was until he was convicted yesterday, youalk about islamist terrorism and you mention your late colleague, sir david amess. i checked back to the news coverage on the day after he was murdered, and the bbc reported the killing of conservative mp sir david amess is being treated as a terrorist incident by the police and the metropolitan police said there was a potential link to islamist extremism. so i think it was very clear to anyone who was following the news immediately after he was sadly murdered that this is what the police were investigating, but what you couldn't say and i think rightly, was whether the suspect at that time was mad or bad , at that time was mad or bad, whether he was guilty of manslaughter or murder in other words, you couldn't discuss the issues that the jury would have to decide. >> and in the united states, they have much greater freedom. obviously, they have the first amendment. and it seems to me that in an age with so much social media and so much discussion of what's going on, andindeed discussi

anjum chowdhury was found guilty of directing a terrorist organisation this week. to be convicted for membership of the extremist islamist terror group al—muhajiroun. but where was this international terrorist living? will the daily mail revealed this week that a british diplomat working for the foreign office rented out her £550,000 east london terraced house to anjum chowdhury? that's terrorist as in on a terrace, not terrorist. he used this house as a base to preach terror around the world for him . i around the world for him. i mean, it's surely worrying that the civil service, which is supposed to keep us safe as people, as employing people so accommodating to terrorists, this is kind of worrying. doesn't it speak to some sort of bias inside our civil service? >> i mean , the whole story is >> i mean, the whole story is completely insane. i don't know why anyone at that position is renting their house out. like where have they gone? yeah, that's a that's a big question for me. and why are they renting it out to an extremist. yeah. like did did they know this d

recently at fishmongers hall, here in the united kingdom , and here in the united kingdom, and jim chowdhuryentenced today someone who manipulates and abuses faith in the worst way. so, my feeling would be a great comfort to me in in these times and it, it hopefully is a is a comfort to some of those affected by this , but it is very affected by this, but it is very much, i'm afraid, a two edged sword in the modern world. yeah. >> and i think i'm not overly religious, i will confess, but i'm certainly praying for the children affected. the, all of them still in hospital, the adults, the families affected. your thoughts? bill >> yeah. i mean, i'm a person of faith, but i actually think it's in a sense, it's beyond faith. it's about our common humanity, and how we work together to resolve this appalling tragedy. and i get what you say, michelle, that this isn't about politics, but, you know, we're going to have to move forward. and i was struck by what alex said about dunblane , because i said about dunblane, because i remember dunblane and it's the nearest analogy to what has happened here. a

we have an exclusive recording of vile islamist anjem chowdhury making some astonishing comments about lefties in america have gone fully mental. >> some of these protesters hold up signs proclaiming gays for gaza. they might as well hold up signs saying chickens for kfc. hey . and on my panel tonight , hey. and on my panel tonight, it's gb news star nana akua tory peer lord bailey and ex—labour adviser matthew laza. >> oh yes, and can you guess who keir starmer is talking about here? >> he work particularly with steel. >> can't read in britain. here we go . we go. why are people more outraged about what happened at manchester airport than a british army officer being stabbed . next? stabbed. next? >> patrick, thank you and good evening. will. the top story from the gb newsroom tonight is that the police watchdog says investigators will be examining hours of body worn video and cctv footage following an altercation, which has resulted in a police officer being suspended from duty. greater manchester police say they were called to reports of an assault in the airport car park, where the

and look, they're letting people out of prisons, that's probably why, chowdhury's got a long sentencethousands of people out. >> well, it's not all bad then, is it? yeah >> rafe space, the spaces, but also having an amnesty on illegals as well, which they mentioned during the election. >> which which it looks like i mean, matthew, and you know, it is an interesting point. she talked about a black hole, a 20 billion black jackets. i watched it all and labour were cheering and the tories were indignant and the tories were indignant and i was just laughing at the whole thing. but there's a real big black hole coming and it's this the last auction for offshore wind in the north sea didn't attract a single bidder. absolutely not a single bidder. so, mike, and i'm not saying you can answer this, but if ed miliband has got all these companies that are going to build vast arrays of the north sea, i wonder what the price is going to be. and i wonder what that means, because all through the election, we were told that renewable energy would give us cheaper bills. it won't, will it? well, it pot

i fear that perhaps yesterday's attack may be a response to chowdhury being convicted by somebody who evidence yet to prove this, but it does seem more than merely coincidental, coincidental , perhaps? >> yes. it's the first thing i thought of, too. it was almost like too much coincidence yet again, a man in uniform. somebody of whom we should be intensely proud, i feel, in this country, attacked by another young man, by the sound of it, wearing a ski mask, you know, a cowardly, horrible, brutal attack. again. >> yes, indeed. just like the murder of lee rigby. that was cowardly and brutal and close to his barracks in woolwich in south—east london. so there are some horrendous , hideous links, some horrendous, hideous links, of course, lee rigby sadly died. let's hope this soldier pulls through. lee rigby's murder left behind his young widow and his son jack. of course , who then son jack. of course, who then had to spend the rest of his life not knowing his father. a true tragedy and a brutal murder. and now another attempt. it would appear to murder our courageous members of the arme
