9:32 am
don't know why politicians are going after it the way they are, it feels like they're just focusing on things that are way less important than all the things they should be focusing on. it definitely doesn't feel great as someone in this country during an election yearfor this to as someone in this country during an election year for this to be so much focus is when there are simply more important things going on. let’s important things going on. let's seak to important things going on. let's speak to our _ important things going on. let's speak to our china _ important things going on. let's speak to our china correspondent stephen mcdonell. thank you for joining us. china has had to fight back against the sort of criticism and concern in several countries. what more have they said about this? when foreign ministry spokesperson said today that these us politicians had adopted the logic of bandits he is essentially accusing them of stealing this very successful chinese social media platform. he said this went against the norms of international trade and was a move to suppress excellent companies from
9:33 am
other countries. this is a complicated matter, the advocates of this ban would say tiktok poses a security threat because it's parent company bytedance is bound to pass on the data from users here in china if the communist party asks for it. those laws do exist but that doesn't mean that tiktok has done that, or even has been asked to do it and instead the chinese government's point of view, i think, it has been surprised by the success of this home—grown company that they have developed an app, social media app, that hasjust been developed an app, social media app, that has just been so enormously popular internationally and at the height of its this chinese company is being asked to divest itself of tiktok. you can imagine the company doesn't like it, and for that matter the chinese government doesn't like it and they are going to bat for one
9:34 am
of the tech champions, as they see it. but as the whole matter moves into the senate and the debate becomes more intense, i think we can expect to see many more barbs flying back and forth from beijing to washington and back the other way. when it comes to bytedance themselves, they have been insisting that they have taken measures to protect users' data, haven't they? yes. they say they have put certain things in place to stop that from happening. but the problem is we just have to take their word from it. how would you know? how would you know whether or not anything has gone from their servers, wherever they are based, to their servers here in china? it is virtually an impossible thing for anybody to track. and so it comes down to this question of trust essentially. would they do this? imagine what a risk it is if it emerged that it had happened? it would be scandalous for them. and in a way, if the communist
9:35 am
party here was to ask bytedance for the data of users in america they could potentially destroy the business if word got out about it. that said, doesn't mean they wouldn't consider doing it because if they thought they could without anyone finding out, well, why not? thank you for that update. we will bring you more reaction as we have it. the elon musk—owned exploration firm spacex is expected to attempt its third test flight of its starship rocket today. the launch, which follows two previously failed attempts, could prove pivotal to the firm's ambitions to land astronauts on the moon by 2026. 0ur science correspondent pallab ghosh reports. ignition, two, one. this was test number one in april last year. things started off well enough... we have liftoff. ..as the rocket rose majestically into the sky. but then things started going a bit wobbly. multiple engines failed,
9:36 am
and the spacecraft began to tumble. engineers had to hit the self—destruct button, although they call it something else. starship just experienced a rapid unscheduled disassembly, or a rud, during an ascent. but now this was a development test. it is the first test flight of starship, and the goal was to gather the data, and as we said, clear the pad and get ready to go again. it seems odd to celebrate an unsuccessful launch, but elon musk, the head of spacex, says learning from their mistakes is what the company is all about. three, two, one. so last november, they had another go, and another successful launch. the rocket went further than test flight number one. the upper and lower parts of the rocket separated this time. but then this happened.
9:37 am
and as you can see, the super heavy booster has just experienced a rapid unscheduled disassembly. and if that wasn't enough, the upper stage exploded too, not long after. now it's time for test flight number three. will there be another rapid unscheduled disassembly? spacex say they'll be happy if the giant rocket goes even a little bit further than before. there'll be more tests to develop a system that'll be capable of landing astronauts on the moon, and maybe even take them on to mars. pallab ghosh, bbc news. here in the uk, the government has set out a new definition of extremism — as part of its promise to tackle what is says is an �*increased
9:38 am
threat�* since the hamas attacks in israel last october. the intention is to stop extremist groups or individuals from having a platform to spread their views. but concerns have been raised that any definition could be seen as unfair — and undemocratic. with the details, here�*s our political correspondent damian grammaticas. apologies, we have an issue with that, so let�*s go straight to our guest. with me is rabbi charley baginsky, co—lead of progressive judaism. thank you forjoining us. is part of your work, your organisation engages with interfaith work in london, doesn�*t it? how do you think this could potentially impact your work? are organisation interacts in the interfaith world across the country, interfaith world across the country, in many areas, notjust across london, although a vital piece of our work is here in london. i think our work is here in london. i think our worry with this new legislation is it is going to make it more difficult to talk. already it is a really difficult environment for
9:39 am
communities who live side by side and in other moments have managed to have a really good sharing of resources, sharing of supporting their communities, and evenjust their communities, and even just time their communities, and evenjust time to eat and share food together. in the current circumstances they are finding it really difficult to meet. the worry is it adds fuel to the fire and makes it even more difficult for those communities to find the spaces to be together. government ministers would argue, though, there has been a rise in issues like islamophobia, anti—semitism, especially in light of what happened in october in israel, the hamas attacks, and that there have been what they call hateful protests, that something needs to be done, essentially. do you not agree? i needs to be done, essentially. do you not agree?— you not agree? i couldn't agree more. you not agree? i couldn't agree more- we _ you not agree? i couldn't agree more. we have _ you not agree? i couldn't agree more. we have seen _ you not agree? i couldn't agree more. we have seen a - you not agree? i couldn't agree more. we have seen a rise - you not agree? i couldn't agree more. we have seen a rise in l more. we have seen a rise in anti—semitism all across the country. there are many people within our community who are feeling very afraid and are feeling very worried about the rise of anti—semitism. equally, when i spend time with my muslim colleagues they
9:40 am
are also really concerned about islamophobia and both for them the rise in anti—semitism and for us the rise in anti—semitism and for us the rise in anti—semitism and for us the rise in islamophobia is a real worry and concern. the answer, though, is not to have a unilateral definition of extremism that doesn�*t involve communities talking to each other. we can talk about the protests, and there are things about the protests that do make communities fearful. for example, timing of them as services start orfinish for example, timing of them as services start or finish could add to the fear but we also know the right to protest is important and a vital part of being part of this diverse wonderful country that so many of us feel so very much at home here. ~ . many of us feel so very much at home here. . ., ., ,., many of us feel so very much at home here. ~ ., ., ,, ., many of us feel so very much at home here. . ., ., ,, ., ., here. what about spreading violent views? i here. what about spreading violent views? i know _ here. what about spreading violent views? i know the _ here. what about spreading violent views? i know the concern - here. what about spreading violent views? i know the concern here - here. what about spreading violent views? i know the concern here is i views? i know the concern here is this is a subjective definition, it is hard to identify these groups. i want to read part of the definition which is extremism as the promotion or advancement of an ideology based on violence, hatred or intolerance.
9:41 am
is something like violence is not something that is fairly objective and can�*t simply be treated with conversations? {iii and can't simply be treated with conversations?— and can't simply be treated with conversations? of course. and we already have _ conversations? of course. and we already have legislation _ conversations? of course. and we already have legislation that - already have legislation that supports the police in being able to tackle violence. and there is no question, none of us would argue that we need to do something about extremism, both in its actions when it is violent and in inception when it is violent and in inception when it says education in schools, or tackling it online. the question is, is this the right tool to be able to tackle it? i think what we are concerned about and what the archbishop of canterbury has also raised his concerns about, and certainly many people i�*m seeing across our interfaith networks are concerned about, is that this is a sharp object that doesn�*t deal with the actual problem at hand. mi the actual problem at hand. all riaht, the actual problem at hand. all right, we have to leave it there but thank you for your we appreciate it. around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news.

9:52 am
to the fact an intruder entered onto the premises. 0ur intruder was literally right in front of us here at the end of this corridor. now, at that point, one of my other colleagues revealed that he'd actually said that he had a gun with him. this guy was really edgy, really, reallyjumpy. he had kind of a man bag wrapped around his body. he had his hand within that bag and certainly shaped as if he was carrying some kind of firearm. but it was very quickly pointed and quite erratically around. what he started saying at the same time, it was talking about the end of the world and about how he was going to finish it all at some point, why it started to come out of this bag. and then there was a light within it that we could see shining out like a red light shining out of it. and that's when we thought, well, he's either got a gun or he could have his finger on some kind of detonator at some point. did you actually think you might be about to die? i remember going through my head. well, here we go. this is it. — this is going to happen. this is really going to going to happen. it turned out the intruder hadn�*t
9:53 am
been carrying a gun or explosives, but had been carrying a large knife. coincidentally, the school had practised going into lockdown in a similar scenario two weeks before. chris robinson was teaching students in a nearby classroom. everyone had to get undertheir desks, lock and secure the room. it�*s absolute silence and making sure that everyone is calm. it�*d be very easy to panic in a situation like that if you don�*t have really strong procedures. and, you know, we�*re all really confident in what to do in a situation like that. at the end of the day, what we what we ended up dealing with was with a young man who was really hurting, who needed to be listened to. didn't feel loved. and, consequently, was willing to kind of really take that out. and that's really what the root i think of this potential situation was. and so that's how we came into sort of contact with mark really, and the kiyan prince foundation. kiyan prince was stabbed and killed in 2006, aged 15. i think if you're dealing _

with symptoms, how do you tackle the real illness? his dad, mark, is a former light heavyweight boxing champion and has received an 0be for his work in tackling youth violence. and when my son died and i had to bury him, put him _ in a coffin and puti him in the ground, there's something that i had to do. there's a part that i had to play. young people don't know how their minds work - and how they can become their greater version - of themselves, _ by the way that they think that they're --oin to be trapped in a lot of the traps. i fell in because a lot of the young people are hurting just like i was when i was _ growing up. it stems from howl they felt about me. i think it was empowering. i thought to myself, maybe i was lucky where i am right now, where i�*ve kept the good life. but there�*s other children out there that may not be as lucky as me and it empowered me to maybe go on and try and help. we're trying to fit into a mould - we've seen on social media, right? all of us have been
