UK govt redefines 'extremism': New definition follows increase in hate crimes

The UK government has unveiled a new definition of extremism, under which certain groups will be blocked from government funding. The change comes just a week after Prime Minister Rishi Sunak warned of what he called a 'shocking increase in extremist disruption that risked the country tipping into mob rule'. The government says the problem has intensified since Israel's war on Gaza began.  Al Jazeera's Rory Challands reports.
