gideon falter wants to cross the road through a pro—palestine march.. but he's told that's not possible. but why? you are quite openlyjewish. i'm not accusing you of anything but i am worried about the reaction to your preseence. if you choose to remain here,... today, he's calling for the head of the met to resign. after six months of sir mark rowley�*s metropolitan police deciding to curtail the rights of law—abiding londoners, including thejewish community, to appease lawless mobs, i think it's time for sir mark rowley to go. sir mark has apologised for the incident, the second apology in three days, saying he wants london to be a city where everyone feels safe. since the hamas attacks of the 7th of october and israel's response, every weekend, the politics of the middle east have been brought to the streets of london, putting increasing pressure on the met to get the balance right between allowing legitimate protest and cracking down on hate speech and intimidation. strong voices, mainly on the right, believe the force has got that balance wrong an

whatever of gideon whatever he thinks of gideon falter , gary bond. d. whatever he thinks of gideon faltthe fact of iti whatever he thinks of gideon faltthe fact of it is that gideon >> the fact of it is that gideon falter, and indeed any jew must be free to go where they want as long as they're not breaking the law. but added point i want law. but the added point i want to is this is not the first to make is this is not the first example of this. we had just two months ago a case in edinburgh where there was a march in february where a jewish person wearing david was told wearing a star of david was told almost exactly the same thing by the police officer then. and then there are going to be other cases happened which cases that have happened which where individuals where the individuals in question, the victims in question, the victims in question, lower question, have been lower profile and it hasn't got into the has happened with the news. what has happened with gideon falter is simply last gideon falter is simply the last of series of examples of

gideon falter that . falter himself has said that.u know, why is jews seem to be is it that jews seem to be treated uniquely in this country? they don't seem to be given the protections that other ethnic are afforded. ethnic minorities are afforded. so talk about that. so we'll talk about that. i'm also grateful to have on the show. john woodcock, now known as walney, he's as lord walney, he's the government's on government's adviser on political and these political violence and these sorts of demonstrations. last year he was saying these marches will have to stop if they seem to be intimidatory towards jews. the jewish community will say that we cross that rubicon some weeks ago. so i'll be very intrigued to his reaction to these calls for the met police commissioner to resign. also, i'll speaking danny kruger i'll be speaking to danny kruger . the gb news viewers and listeners will be familiar with him because of his association with the new conservatives, with miriam we've got the may miriam cates. we've got the may elections last

said he is "deeply concerned" after a met police officer described an antisemitism campaigner gideon falterted his presence at a pro—palestinian demonstration in london last week might antagonise protesters. the incident has prompted campaigners to call for the metropolitan police commissioner, sir mark rowley to step down. the force has apologised twice for the remarks. let's see a video clip of the exchange which has been posted on social media. if i could ask you to stand there, please. thank you very much. i know, i heard you. in that case, sir, when the crowd has gone, i'll happily escort you out. no, sir, i don't want anybody antagonising anybody. yeah, and at the moment, sir, you are quite openlyjewish, this is a pro—palestinian march. i'm not accusing you of anything but i'm worried about the reaction to your presence. our correspondent aruna iyengar spoke to us earlier about the response. there has been a fair bit of political reaction to the posting of this video. sir mark rowley, there has been called for his resignation today, and the former home secretary, asking for his resign

but since then gideon falter has been speaking on camera and on the radio to broadcasters including therowley- to go, he has had long enough to get to grips with this situation, l to get his police force under control, tell his front line officers do not worry, - we are going to send enough police to back you up so you can make - the right decisions. instead he hasn't done that because of that he has - to go, the time has come. let me give more of what the met said. using the term openlyjewish by one of our officers is hugely regrettable, we know it will have caused offence to many. we reiterate our apology. in an effort to make a point about the policing at a protest because further offence, this was never our intention. we caused further offence, this was never our intention. we have removed that statement and apologised. being jewish is not a provocation, jewish londoners must be able to feel safe in the city. the combination of the met and politics gets very messy very quickly, but it is too many newscasters staggering that the met continues to find itself getting into things. we ha

gideon falter told the bbc how shocked he was at what happened.. he has had long enough to get to grips with the situation, to get his police force under control, to tell his front line officers, don't worry, we are going to send enough police to back you up so that you can make the right decisions. and instead, he hasn't done that. and because of that, he has to go. the time has come. a little earlier our reporter angus crawford outlined the pressure now lying upon the met police commissioner. well, it's been very interesting. here in london, since the 7th of october attacks and israel's response, if you like, the politics of the middle east has been played out on the street every weekend with demonstration and counterdemonstration. the met police has come under huge pressure to get the balance right. what balance? the balance between allowing peaceful process and cracking down on anti—semitism, hate speech and intimidation. the response we have had from downing street today is very interesting. it is very measured. although downing street said i

and mac says gideon falter did this on purpose to get attention for his cause and nothing else. deliberately in harm's way to prove a point. >> what did he do that was provocative? did he have a sign? did he shout at anything? anyone did he shout at anything? anyone did he shout at anything? anyone did he bellow abuse? did he even give a slogan to people? no. his so—called provocation was simply walking down the street . and if walking down the street. and if we've got to the point where it's provocative, so provocative that the police will stop you for walking down the street because of your faith, then we've got things wrong. and the police are pandering to the criminal and not to their and not looking after their victim. >> yeah. and i've got to say, mac, you say, he you're saying to put himself directly in harm's way to prove a point is just stupid. but then the guests, the point, the alex is trying to make here is you shouldn't be putting yourself in harm's way just by wandering down the street. >> let me know your thoughts with just one thing, because i want to be clear. t

tom, do you agree with gideon falter that sir mark rowley should resign ? resign?d i don't think it would actually save the solve the problem. i mean, when, david kc said that the met was institutionally racist , she institutionally racist, she meant against the black people or against muslims. she didn't realise that there were institutionally racist against jews . and i think by now we can jews. and i think by now we can see, since the october 7th massacres in israel that the british police and especially the met don't understand what in fact they are creating . that is fact they are creating. that is the terrible problem. and just removing rowley will make no difference at all. the real problem must be in the home office and it's got to be with the mayor of london. we just do not know what orders the met chief has been given by these two bodies to behave in the way they've done since october, when quite clearly, every week in london, the anti—semites have had a field day , and the had a field day, and the anti—semites every week are protected by the police to sp
