let me bring you some breaking news on the nhs. the average response time in february for ambulances in england dealing with the most urgent incidents, defined as calls from people with life—threatening illnesses or injuries, was eight minutes and 25 seconds, nhs figures show. this is down very slightly from eight minutes and 26 seconds injanuary, but is above the target standard response time of seven minutes. ambulances took an average of 36 minutes and 20 seconds last month to respond to emergency calls such as heart attacks, strokes and sepsis. this is down from a0 minutes and six seconds injanuary while the target is 18 minutes. response times for urgent calls, such as late stages of labour, non—severe burns and diabetes, averaged two hours, four minutes and 12 seconds in february, down from two hours, 12 minutes and 48 seconds in january.
10:32 am
back to our top story. the communities secretary, michael gove, has told the bbc why the government is introducing a new definitgion for extremism. it is necessary to update it and be more precise and it comes against a backdrop of anti—semitism and anti—muslim hatred on our streets and on social media and we believe this new definition will help the government in choosing our friends wisely when it comes to making sure that we can promote a greater sense of inclusivity and social cohesion let's join my collague chris wharbuton who is standing in for nicky campell — for his five live show. the texts and calls we have had from you this morning and i can say good morning, it is chris warburton in for nikki campbell, it is the nation's phone in on 5 live, and
10:33 am
welcome to our viewers on the bbc news channel as well. we are talking, and we have been talking, with lots of vigorous debate about the updated definition of extremism from the government this morning for groups that the government views as islamist or neo—nazi. but importantly, who are not in fact breaking any laws. and essentially what will happen as a result of this is they will be frozen out of public life. those branded extremists will be denied government grants, for example, they will be denied ministerial meetings, access to the senior civil service, owners and public appointments. it is not new laws, this is something we have been trying to stress throughout the programme this morning, it is not a definition in law of extremism, it is completely non—statutory, so at no point would it give police more powers on the streets, on marches and such like, so effectively you are not bound, you're not a prescribed group which is the legal banning of an organisation. some of
10:34 am
the concern about all of this has been it will bring in other groups, trans rights activist, gender critical organisations, even anti house of lords campaigners have been mentioned who could be caught by this new definition. we have been talking much more broadly about extremism, something that has been discussed, written about and talked about an awful lot in recent weeks and simply asking the question, is it something you're worried about. 10:34am. more calls now. if you want to have your say, the text number 85058. let's have a word with tommy on the wirral and sarah in tonbridge and victoria in london. hello, good morning to you. thank you for being involved in what has been an absolutely fascinating conversation. tommy, what do you want to tell us this morning? are you worried? i’m this morning? are you worried? i'm worried this morning? are you worried? i“n worried by the thrust of this, not by the overall intention might think
10:35 am
it would be good to have a definition of extremism that has a broad consensus. i think at the moment it's purely partisan and as people have pointed out that can change with a change in government quite easily. i think it needs to be much more broad—based. if you have someone likejo cox's husband on this morning speaking quite eloquently about why he has concerns about it, immediately think, why on earth didn't the government and michael gove involve people like him at the outset so there was a much more broad definition and a broader church of thought on this rather than simply as has been said a number of times, playing politics with what is a forthcoming election. i wanted to say, you keep saying this is not going to curtail protest, to my view is that it has a high potential to curtail protests because any reasonable person who has attached themselves to what they
10:36 am
believe to be a reasonable protest about an issue they feel strongly about, will be less likely to attach themselves to it if groups on that protest or groups organising the protest or groups organising the protest have been put on a list that is not prescribed. i think that has the potential to curtail protest. i think that's part of the overall objective as well. people who are protesting about gaza, the vast majority, even if i don't agree with them, the vast majority of them have strong beliefs about what they are protesting for. i don't think they want to be associated with extremists, they don't have extremists, they don't have extremist views, although some people within that may have extremist views. but i think people will be thinking i don't really want to be involved.— will be thinking i don't really want to be involved. associated with that urou - , to be involved. associated with that grow). hear — to be involved. associated with that grow). hear what — to be involved. associated with that group, hear what you're _ to be involved. associated with that group, hear what you're saying. - to be involved. associated with that | group, hear what you're saying. who were saying yes as tommy was there? sarah or victoria? it’s

ou for the what do you want to say to us? thank you for the opportunity _ what do you want to say to us? thank you for the opportunity this _ you for the opportunity this morning. i'm struggling to see the point of all of this really in terms of this new definition if it is not going to be in statute, it is almost like itjust seems to be electioneering through a certain part of the constituency. the definition that the government could do with publishing is a definition of islamophobia which they have refused to do and refused to accept. the fact that this morning on a different radio station michael gove not even able to confirm whether the tory donor himself had been displaying extremism in what he said about diane abbott i think really sums up the fact that it is potently obvious that this is being done for party political reasons. they will say, if you let me interject, say, if you let me inter'ect, there has or has — say, if you let me inter'ect, there has or has been h say, if you let me inter'ect, there has or has been in _ say, if you let me interject, there has or has been in recent - say, if you let me interject, there has or has been in recent times l say, if you let me interject, there has or has been in recent times aj has or has been in recent times a definition of extremism, it hasn't been updated in nine years and that's what they are doing and there

is a purpose to it because if you are on that list then you are being dealt with ultimately as a harmful group as far as they see it, not necessarily involved in illegal activity. but if you are on that list you will essentially be frozen out of public life. as i have said, you will be denied government grants, ministerial meetings, access to the senior civil service, honours, public appointments. fora lot of people on that list they honours, public appointments. for a lot of people on that list they will not have many places to go in public life. , , ., , ., not have many places to go in public life. , ,., ., not have many places to go in public life. , ., .,, life. this is also about individuals as well as groups. _ life. this is also about individuals as well as groups. that _ life. this is also about individuals as well as groups. that individual donor who has given money to the conservative party will retain access as was confirmed by one of the ministers yesterday because he has apologised. and yet by the same token as a alley from the labour party in the rochdale by—election was called out for his extreme views and was dropped by the party —— azhar ali. we need to look across the board here. despite his apology

10:51 am
theocracy. those people. they can be from many different faiths. but our worries about those extremists are those who then fund guns and fund guns through violence and crime. really i think the whole view of terrorism and extremism should just be redirected towards crime again. the person in the office who is working say in your local council who then thinks, oh, you know, you could be a potential terrorist, how would they know? and the other thing is somebody who is an extremist who wants to disguise their criminal activity of gun running or bringing in human trafficking, they will accuse somebody in a good job who is the gatekeeper, they will accuse them of being right wing in order to get them sacked and never in a job again to stop the behaviour. that concept of right wingers is
