amna: In a day of political
upheaval, Britain's prime
minister rishi sunak brought
back former prime minister David
Cameron as his foreign
secretary. And sunak fired home
secretary suella Braverman,
after critics claimed her
remarks contributed to violence
during pro-palestinian marches
this weekend.
The British government is also
pledging to crack down on anti
semitism, which has surged
across Europe since the October
7th hamas attacks in Israel.
From London, special
correspondent Malcolm brabant
reports.
>> 5, 6, 7, 8.
>> According to police, 300,000
marched.
105 years to the day, the first
World War ended on this day.
>> Cease fire no.
>> Don't eradicate all of
palestine.
>> I can see children being
killed.
A genocide that is going on in
palestine, the war crimes that
have been committed by the idf,
and all the governments are
complicit.
>> I've been disappointed in
most of the government around
the world.
The reaction towards what is
happening in gaza is pretty
disgusting.
It is not a case of, if you are
looking negatively at the
Israelis I don't think you are
antisemitic.
Malcolm: This is the biggest
pro-palestinian demonstration
since October 7.
Britain's home secretary
lambasted the police chief when
he refused to ban it.
The police argued the threat of
trouble wasn't serious enough to
warrant a ban.
The judgment call will be put to
the test.
Clashes involving right-wing
nationalists threatened to
disrupt the traditional salute
to Britain's war dead.
The nationalists said they
wanted to defend them from
Palestinian supporters and were
furious at being threatened --
thwarted by police.
The two minute silence of the
11th hour was observed
peacefully beneath the statue of
Winston Churchill.
There were a handful of people
that signaled support for
hostages held by hamas.
>> We have families in this
country where the kids are
unable to wear signs of the
religion to school.
How does that honor the memory
of the people who fought for
freedom?
>> Palestine will be free.
Malcolm: The government is
considering outlawing this
chant.
The antisemitic chant threatens
Jews with the return of
Mohammed's army.
Police are hunting a group that
intimidated worshipers outside a
synagogue.
The police and some senior
government ministers blame
suella Braverman for whipping up
hatred.
>> Thousands take to the streets
following the massacre of jewish
people, the single loss --
largest loss of jewish life
since the holocaust, chanting
for the erasure of Israel.
To my mind there is only one way
to describe this.
They are hate marches.
Malcolm: Prime minister sunak
said protecting Britain's jewish
community is paramount.
>> We will not stand for this
hatred and anti-semitism.
It sickens me to think British
Jews are looking over their
shoulder in this country.
Malcolm: According to the
European union anti-semitism
hasn't been this bad since the
1930's.
In Paris, stars of David sent
told -- stenciled on buildings
are reminiscent of Nazi tactics.
>> I will again feel the hatred
that was there when we were
kids.
I don't understand it.
>> In Germany the government
warned antisemitic attacks risk
transporting the country to its
most horrific times.
In Denmark, the prime minister
led a commemoration of
kristallnacht, when the Nazis
launched a pogrom against Jews
in Austria.
Denmark's chief rabbi was
assaulted and wants to meet his
assailant to prevent further
attacks on the nations Jews.
>> It is more difficult to be a
Jew in Denmark than it was in
1943.
I know it sounds bizarre, but in
1943 the enemy was visible.
The faith of a Jew was more
predictable.
Now, we are in an unknown level
of risk.
>> He is referring to incidents
like this encounter between
Denmark's foreign minister and a
hamas supporter.
>> My people are being killed.
The terror attack hamas carried
out on October 7?
>> I am really not.
I'm happy hamas made the
decision on October 7.
We have been imprisoned since
1948.
>> This is where I don't
understand you.
Anyway, have a nice evening.
Malcolm: Adding to the tension
is a video about hamas hostages
by a Danish Palestinian
influencer.
There are still people down
there who have not been done, he
says.
But 250, he says, that is not
bad.
Ok, he says.
Joking aside, condolences for
all those lives that are not yet
taken.
What do you fear is going to
happen?
>> I can't see how all of this
hatred we see around in
demonstrations, how it channels
itself to anything else than
violence.
>> I honestly can't see how we
don't get out.
Malcolm: Saturday's
demonstration past MI six whose
agents are trying to prevent the
fury from turning Dudley.
-- From turning Dudley.
The terror threat is considered
substantial, which and at --
which means an attack is likely.
