. way down to trafalgar square.rested. another really important issue that the metropolitan police has been debating over the past few daysis been debating over the past few days is what to do about chanting. there's one particular chanting. there's one particular chant from the river to the sea. palestine will be free, which is seen by many jews to be an and non—jews as well to be an anti—semitic slogan . an and anti—semitic slogan. an and suella braverman. the home secretary has specifically asked the police to crack down on protesters being anti—semitic . protesters being anti—semitic. like on this occasion, the police have decided that they will allow that chant to go ahead as long as it's not done in an inflammatory environment. so in front of a jewish school or the israeli embassy, etcetera . but that in itself is quite a controversial decision. and i'm sure be met with quite sure we'll be met with quite a lot unease by jewish lot of unease by by jewish communities in london today. it'll be interesting and con

. >> of >> there's a huge rally of thousands of people in trafalgar square hostages taken by square for hamas and to support the israeli community. >> and so there are people standing up on the other side. >> it's not just the extremists on these marches, by the way, because think waving of because i think the waving of palestine flags, hours after the atrocities of the 7th of october, already deeply october, were already deeply offensive probably hate offensive and probably hate crimes own right. crimes in their own right. >> belinda. >> belinda. >> if after the >> well, imagine if after the horrific manchester bombings or seven over seven hours after their hours after or days after, before the dead were even buried, that there were protests after protests of people who shared the same general cause of all the horrible things that were happening in syria and iraq, which was the justification for these terrorists on both both events. imagine how that would make the families feel and they would simply allowed . i think simply not be allowed. i think there should have been a period of thi

we've now moved down to trafalgar square and you can see the protest just passing me now. street. there are a thousand police officers on the streets today policing this march , and they have another march, and they have another march. the police as well. at the same time as this one, the main one. there is also a splinter march taking place between the egyptian and turkish embassies near oxford street. now that march is self—confessed supporters of a group which is a sort of arms length body of hamas. so in some ways that one's more difficult to process than this, although this one is of course much bigger. now, the challenge for the police is that the organisers rally the organisers of this rally have that they plan to have have said that they plan to have a similar every saturday a similar rally every saturday for the foreseeable future until what they call the bombardment of palestine by israel has finished. so this is going to be an enormous challenge for the metropolitan police, not just today, in the weeks and today, but in the weeks and probably months ahead . and

yeah, there was a big rally in trafalgar square yesterday , 15,000 jewish people. yesterday, 15,000 jewishor it was an event to bring attention to the 200 plus hostages that are being held currently in gaza by the hamas terrorists. and there was still trouble there. there were people screaming . there was an people screaming. there was an arrest. i mean, the undercurrent here is terrified , crying. i here is terrified, crying. i would just say that there needs to be a coalition of the morally sensible and morally literate here. you don't have to take sides. you know, we need to sympathise with with israel and what it's going through. we need to sympathise with palestinian victims in gaza. what's happening appalling, happening there is appalling, but enemies here but there are clear enemies here on both sides . and i'd say the on both sides. and i'd say the number one enemy, of course, is the horror that hamas is inflicting not only on its own people, but of course, on israel , israelis and jews. >> yeah, richard richard farah, editor of the jewish news, thank you very much indeed for joini

we didn't see trafalgar square being trashed. people, they're quite content with how things have gone, although of course, excuse me, we've seen a shift today because there was a lot of criticism , there was a lot of criticism, um, about the non—intervention action by police, particularly last week, with people holding signs in support of hamas, for example , and of course, using example, and of course, using the word jihad, which as we know is open to a couple of different interpretations . yes, these are interpretations. yes, these are live , live footage we're live, live footage we're watching now. >> this actually happening now. this is in london, i believe so, yeah. >> so, of course, i hope against hope that we have another another largely peaceful one. but it will be very interesting to see if the police is actions follow their words with regards to intervention , because the to intervention, because the fear is of the police that when they go in and form some kind of stare while corridor for example, set operating people s
