redefining extremism — the government here names groups that are a �*cause for concern�* and could face restrictions. and an anti—corruption hotline to root out dishonest police officers in britain leads to more than 700 investigations. royal horticutural society encourage gardeners to live harmoniously with slugs and snails. first sport. here's sarah. thank you very much. let's start with day three of cheltenham, dubbed st patrick's thursday for the irish who have been celebrating a lot of success so far. the irish have had the better of the first two days. not the case today, though. the british horses have farered better. success at cheltenham for one familiar face. laura scott is there for us.

5:33 pm
tomorrow is of course all about the gold cup. that's a highlight of the week, celebrating its 100th anniversary this year, and the favourite is last year's winner wendy mullins who trains his hundredth festival winner. —— willie mullins. thank you, laura. get out of the rain! there has been plenty this week. gareth southgate says he has "no issue" with ben white after the arsenal defender made himself unavailable for england selection for the upcoming friendlies. southgate said arsenal sporting director edu told him that white did not want to be considered, and he has not been selected for england since the 2022 world cup when he left for personal reasons. brentford striker ivan toney is back for the first time since his eight—month ban for breaching fa betting rules. there are also first—time call—ups for newcastle forward anthony gordon — the 23—year—old has scored ten goals in all competitions this season for his club — and for 21—year—old defender jarrad branthwaite, who's impressed for everton this season. and the england manager is looking forward to working with him.
5:34 pm
with england, we have to experiments, play young players, as do well, win and do all those things, but were happy with that, if he did say he play as well as he had, then i would have a question that. so, he's in our merit and we're really keen to work with him and find out a bit more about him. thursday sees the final round of last 16 matches to reach the quarterfinals of the europa league and conference league. nobody scored more first—leg goals than liverpool, who take a 5—1 lead into their match against sparta prague at anfield. mohammed salah hasn't started a game for them since the 1st of january, but according to manager jurgen klopp, is ready to start now. three other british sides play in the europa league this evening. benfica twice came from a goal down to draw 2—2 with rangers in lisbon in last week's first leg, so it's all to play for at ibrox. brighton have a mountain to climb after losing their first leg 4—0 to roma in italy last week,
5:35 pm
while west ham also have work to do. they're1—0 down to freiburg heading into the second leg at the london stadium. there are a further eight games in the conference league. the only tie still in need of goals is at villa park, where ajax are the visitors. there's more build—up on the bbc sport website. golf now, and day one is under way at the players championship at sawgrass in florida, and rory mcilroy got off to a flying start. he was 8—under—par after 15 holes. the northern irishman made nine birdies and one bogey to lead by one, but has since dropped a couple of shots with a double bogey on his 16th hole, so he trails by one on 6—under. xander schauffele has a round of 65, the leader at the moment on seven underfar. and that's all the sport for now. lovely, thanks, sarah. you are watching bbc news. welcome back.
5:36 pm
let's get more now on the government setting out a new definition of extremism. it's part of its promise to tackle what is says is an "increased threat" since the hamas attacks in israel last october. several groups were named in parliament as possibly facing restrictions under the new definition. but concerns have been raised that it could be seen as unfair and undemocratic. let's the very latest from our political correspondent peter saull. hello to you. take us through the political reaction to that statement.— political reaction to that statement. . , political reaction to that statement. ., , , ., ., statement. there have been some real concerns in the — statement. there have been some real concerns in the run-up _ statement. there have been some real concerns in the run-up to _ statement. there have been some real concerns in the run-up to this - concerns in the run—up to this statement, including from three former conservatives — priti patel, sajid javid and politicising this issue— saying there needed to be a really broad consensus. there is a risk of overreaching. i suppose the last thing the conservative wants is to cancel people, certainly not
5:37 pm
to stifle free speech. i think michael gove largely won over those tory �*s to. —— tory sceptics. there are some worried that certain groups have genuine concerns that might be covered by this legislation. robert jenrick himself, a former community secretary, said this lands in his view in no man's land because it doesn't do anything to combat the real extremists that have genuine arguments to make. the labour party are saying they will take a look at this. there's still some way to run on the snp said they are worried that this unfairly tarnishes some muslim groups. michael gove dude name five organisations, two which he said promoted neo—nazi ideologies being the british nationalist, socialist movement and the patriotic alternative. three muslims groups of
5:38 pm
as well. the latter two were spoken to were really unhappy about this. members threatening legal action. now it's going to happen is this centre of excellence that's been set “p centre of excellence that's been set up in whitehall to consider which organisations might fall foul of this definition of extremism. they will work that up and come out with the list in the coming weeks. this is a government that is not afraid to complete noses out as it responds in its view to what happened on october the 7th and a rise in anti—semitism is another hate crimes. anti-semitism is another hate crimes. ., ., let's speak to yasmine adam for the from the muslim association of britain. yasmine, thank you very much for talking to us. your reaction to being named by mr mack to buy one of
5:39 pm
the organisations —— mr gove? it’s the organisations —— mr gove? it�*s disappointing but not surprising at all. we expect some things from mr gove given the track record. both would fall foul of the definition. should michael gove remove his privilege and stop hiding behind it and provide evidence for his accusations, otherwise we will, like our colleagues, threaten legal action as well.— action as well. how damaging potentially — action as well. how damaging potentially do _ action as well. how damaging potentially do think— action as well. how damaging potentially do think this - action as well. how damaging potentially do think this could j action as well. how damaging i potentially do think this could be in terms of the partner organisations that you work with. give us a sense of how being named like that puts a label on your organisation. again, mr gove and the conservative party have a track
5:40 pm
record of this and this is another step. however, what we have to see this as is a threat to the fabric of our society and democracy. this should concern every person concerned with civil liberty and freedom. the moment you label anyone that descends and disagree with the government policies as we have been doing, that should concern everyone. where do you draw the line? how can michael gove speak about the rule of law it when he himself and his government have been responsible for some of the most anti—demographic legislation in decades —— anti—democratics? legislation in decades -- anti-democratics?- legislation in decades -- anti-democratics? , ., , ., anti-democratics? this would be a look at whether _ anti-democratics? this would be a look at whether organisations - anti-democratics? this would be a look at whether organisations are l look at whether organisations are promoting extremist ideology and that there would be a do and fair process, which presumably from your perspective, your organisation would be exonerated. would you be willing to engage in the process at all? i to engage in the process at all? i mean, again, we don't see it starting for the premises of a
5:41 pm
neutral basis. michael gove has already named us. so, what would this look like? we wouldn't be able to engage with him if we can't see what kind of premises we would be starting it. the fact that he is named us without any evidence means there is a bias. named us without any evidence means there is a bias-— there is a bias. were you aware that this was coming? _ there is a bias. were you aware that this was coming? yeah. _ there is a bias. were you aware that this was coming? yeah. so - there is a bias. were you aware that this was coming? yeah. so you - this was coming? yeah. so you weren't given _ this was coming? yeah. so you weren't given any _ this was coming? yeah. so you weren't given any heads-up - this was coming? yeah. so you | weren't given any heads-up that this was coming? iez—ji. so you weren't given any heads—up that you are likely to be on this list? trio. weren't given any heads—up that you are likely to be on this list? ha. i are likely to be on this list? no, i can't say the _ are likely to be on this list? no, i can't say the government - are likely to be on this list? no, i can't say the government gives i are likely to be on this list? no, i | can't say the government gives us notice. ~ . ., , ., can't say the government gives us notice. ~ . ., i. , can't say the government gives us notice. ~ . ., , notice. what would your message be? there will be — notice. what would your message be? there will be people _ notice. what would your message be? there will be people potentially - there will be people potentially will be watching and thinking, why would a community secretary name and organisation such as yourselves if there was no basis for it?- organisation such as yourselves if there was no basis for it? again, we have said if — there was no basis for it? again, we have said if there _ there was no basis for it? again, we have said if there was any _ there was no basis for it? again, we have said if there was any basis - there was no basis for it? again, we have said if there was any basis for. have said if there was any basis for this or any evidence, that we would ask michael gove stop hiding. so
5:42 pm
that we can challenge it legally. he has not given us that opportunity, unfortunately. 0nly has not given us that opportunity, unfortunately. only one of us has continued to pedal and islamophobic track record, only one continues to rope maintain relations with someone who is call for the first black mp, woman mp to be shot, and only one of us has continued to endorse a regime that continues to the genocide. we're one of the members of the coalition, it's no coincidence, against his government's ongoing support for the genocide. it's not a coincidence. if you look at his track record, it's clear. yasmine, thank yon _

this image released by the ministry of defence shows grant shapps on the plane during the journey in question. the electronic interference is understood to have happened on wednesday evening. mobile phones could no longer connect to the internet and the aircraft was forced to use alternative methods to determine its location. the uk government says it isn't unusual for aircraft to experience this when flying near the russian territory. doctor thomas willington is an expert in electronic warfare. and was in the baltic region for research on the recently. hello to you. thank you forjoining us. just explain the significance of this location, first of all.— explain the significance of this location, first of all. thank you very much _ location, first of all. thank you very much for— location, first of all. thank you very much for having _ location, first of all. thank you very much for having me - location, first of all. thank you very much for having me to - location, first of all. thank you i very much for having me to speak location, first of all. thank you - very much for having me to speak to you this evening. kaliningrad is a russian escalade. it is the most westerly point i think of russian
5:44 pm
territory. it is not attached by any land bridge to the russian motherland, if you like. it six is this exploited in the baltic region. because of that, it's strategically very important —— ask clave. the presence it gives in the baltic sea, it's important because it is roughly northwest of the country of belarus, which is a russian ally, and there is a 50 km stretch of land between poland and lithuania. russian forces in kaliningrad and belarusian forces in kaliningrad and belarusian forces in the latter country would in times of crisis or war be able to move and actually close that gap if they were unopposed by nato forces. potentially, cut off those states, estonia, latvia and lithuania, from the rest of nato. it's an area of

5:46 pm
this is being done is, as i mentioned, to protect the russian assets in kaliningrad against any nato satellite guided weaponry. nato weapons, us weapons use the gps system in order to be able to get precisely onto their target. that's a big russian concern. in terms of the communications, people not being able to use their phones, the gps signal that we use live in a similar neighbourhood on the electromagnetic spectrum to wear cell phone signals reside. it's possible if the jamming was being done that there may be some residual damage to those signals. but i don't necessarily think that was the target. dr thomas. _ think that was the target. dr thomas, thank you for giving us the background. a hotline inviting people to call in with complaints of corruption in britain's largest police force has led to more than 700 investigations. more than 3,000 calls were made to london's met police force's
5:47 pm
anti—corruption hotline in the 18 months since it was set up. the figures have been revealed as the police anti—corruption and abuse reporting service rolls out nationally. doctor who, succession and even the beckhams, are just some of the unlikely rivals going head to head for the coveted title of the bafta tv moment of the year. the winner, which will be chosen from a broad range of genres, will be decided by members of the public. our culture correspondent charlotte gallagher takes a look at the shortlist. from the unveiling of the 15th time lord played by ncuti gatwa... no way! ..to david and victoria debating the truth about working class backgrounds... they're so beautiful.

5:56 pm
whilst many of us did have a lot of cloud and showery rain on thursday, not everywhere. we had some welcome drier and brighter weather across parts of the south—east of england, east anglia, too. this was the picture in suffolk. we're still staying unsettled, though. so, through the day tomorrow, for friday, showery rain for some of us. still quite mild, particularly towards the south, slightly cooler air across the northern half of the uk. you can see the blue colours here, but the yellows and orange still with us further south and quite a few different weather fronts just drifting their way slowly eastwards. so, showery rain for this evening and tonight across much of scotland, a few showers for northern ireland, northern england, too. further south, some clearer spells, a bit of a breeze blowing blowing in later in the night. the next rash of heavy showers will work into wales, southern england as well. now, with the breeze, cloud and showers around, it's going to be a mild night — 10—11 in the south. further north, could just see a touch of frost in the most prone spots for scotland, but i think generally, there's going to be too much cloud and those outbreaks of rain. tomorrow, even a little bit of snow over the very highest mountains. an improvement in the weather for parts of northern ireland, into wales as well,
5:57 pm
certainly compared to today, but there will be a rash of sunshine and showers just drifting eastwards across england and wales through the day. so a really hit—and—miss day — not as wet as thursday across scotland. still looking at 15 degrees down towards the south—east and east anglia, but single figures further north. now, it's through friday evening and overnight into saturday that most of the showers clear away, and under these clearer skies, it's going to be a cold night. we're likely to see a bit of frost across scotland, northern ireland and northern england. temperatures in the towns and cities here close to freezing, but in the countryside, it could be —3 or —1l, so a bit of frost and some mist and fog patches here and there to start your day on saturday. then more cloud rolls in from the south—west, throwing a few blustery showers into northern ireland, perhaps wales and south—west england, whereas further north and east, you're more likely to stick with the sunnier spells for longer. so, 8—13 degrees, so a touch down perhaps on what we've seen on thursday certainly. but as we head towards the second half of the weekend, we've still got a few weather fronts with us into sunday, so a bit of rain, i think, initially for eastern areas. that should clear
5:58 pm
away fairly quickly. there'll be more showers working in from the west later in the day, but i think in between, with the southerly breeze and some sunshine — shouldn't feel too bad. and temperatures more widely across the board in those mid—teens, around 14—16 for most of us. bye— bye.
5:59 pm
