1:38 pm
than now i am actually saying like eric ten hag, even the likes of pep guardiola, the great manager the around these days for into the pressures that they feel like they know when it goes against them, when they, after the game, that cooling down period. i am looking at even may be longer than 30 minutes, you cannot immediately come out because you are raw. a crystal palace fan has received a three—year ban from football for racially abusing tottenham and south korea forward son heung—min. robert garland pleaded guilty to racially aggravated harassment in august after shouting and gesturing towards son at selhurst park in may. he was initially sentenced to 60 hours of unpaid work and fined but spurs and the metropolitan police appealed to the uk football policing unit over the sentence. spurs said in a statement that they would like to reiterate that the club does not tolerate

1:41 pm
when people make threats of violence against you, against your wife, against you, against your wife, against your kids, threats of sexual violence, threats of saying, we know where you live, that crosses a line and that is when people should be held to account and should be punished. i have said that as part of my retirement the one thing i want to do is make sure that is taken more seriously and that people are held to account more. notjust held two at account publicly but i want prosecuting agency to consider ways of doing that. i want them to look at the legislation and regulation about social media sites and companies can do to prevent it. i also want governing bodies to consider what they can do, if you are a fan at your local rugby club and are sending vile messages to peoples families, you know, making threats then why should you be involved in the rugby family. it's something i will continue to talk
1:42 pm
about and continue to work with, not just the governing bodies but, you know, with legislators of this country too. you can get the interview from the bbc website. that's also how you can find out the latest on the cricket and follow it for the rest of the day should you want to. 28th to the netherlands, chasing that 240 to be england. slow progress for the netherlands. could england be heading for their second win of the world cup? you can get all the latest sports news at from the bbc sport app, orfrom our website. that's it for me for now. goodbye. hello, i'm gareth barlow — you're watching bbc news. let's bring an update on a growing row over plans to hold a pro—palestinian march in london on saturday — which is armistice day. other similar demonstrations have already taken place — and the metropolitan police has said it does not have legal grounds for cancelling the event.
1:43 pm
but the uk's prime minister rishi sunak has described the timing of this weekend's march as �*disrespectful�* — and says he will meet the commissioner of the metropolitan police to discuss the issue later today. this is a decision that the metropolitan police commissioner has made and he has said that he can ensure that he safeguards remembrance for the country this weekend as well as keep the public safe. now, myjob is to hold him accountable for that. and we've asked the police for information on how they will ensure that this happens. and i'll be meeting the metropolitan police commissioner later today to discuss this. and more broadly, my view is that these marches are disrespectful, and that's what i'll be discussing with the police commissioner later today. counter terrorism police are warning there could an increased risk of attacks in the uk because of the conflict in israel and gaza. in the last few weeks, officers say there's been a four—fold rise in reports to the anti—terror hotline that have been useful to investigators. our home affairs correspondent, daniel sandford, has more.
1:44 pm
day after day, the horrors of the war between israel and hamas being fought in gaza and southern israel are being brought to people in britain through their televisions and social media. and counter—terrorism officers are now warning that the conflict there could encourage extremists to carry out attacks here. we're, of course, very worried. we've seen a significant increase in the volume of reports coming into counter—terrorism policing from our communities. we've seen a quadrupling of reports directly linked to investigations. and we know from experience in the past that events across the globe and in the middle east can have a direct impact on events in the uk. that can have an energising effect on people who may be considering or may even be planning to commit violent acts on uk soil — that that could be the thing that tips them into actually going ahead and committing those atrocities. between the 7th of october and the 25th, there were around 1,350 reports to the national anti—terror hotline.
1:45 pm
that's twice the level for the same period last year. some 200 of those reports were useful to investigators — a fourfold increase. at busy locations like london's trafalgar square, police patrols under the counter—terrorism tactic project servator are being carried out with extra vigilance. servator patrols involve specially trained, highly visible officers engaging with the public, encouraging them to be vigilant, while plainclothes officers watch for suspicious activity. much like normal crime — no matter whether you're a shoplifter, all the way up to and including terrorism, some form of hostile reconnaissance takes place. and our aim is to detect and disrupt that hostile reconnaissance during the planning phase of a crime. the police are asking the public to enjoy the build—up to christmas — not to be afraid, but to be alert and vigilant and to report any concerns. daniel sandford, bbc news, trafalgar square.
