The UK government will provide "clarified" guidance to police on hate crimes following a row over the handling of pro-Palestinian protests by the Metropolitan Police.
This move comes after a video appeared to show a man shouting "jihad" at a separate event from the main march, and the Met stated that they had not identified any offenses.
The Met Police Commissioner, Sir Mark Rowley, expressed concerns that current hate crime laws need to be redrawn, as they may not adequately address the spread of "toxic messages" by extremist groups without breaking the law.
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak countered, stating that police already have powers to arrest those inciting violence or racial hatred and emphasized that there is no place for such behavior on UK streets.
