1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,239
Speaker 1: Jevin Gray is our UK and europe correspondence. A radical

2
00:00:03,279 --> 00:00:07,200
Speaker 1: preacher has been found guilty under UK Tyrrah laws. Given.

3
00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:11,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right, Ryan. Now, the name and jam Chowdhry

4
00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:14,960
Speaker 2: might not be well known to many people, but it

5
00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:17,919
Speaker 2: is well known in the UK, and that is because

6
00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:21,520
Speaker 2: he is a man who's continually gone very close, sailing

7
00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:24,040
Speaker 2: to the wind, very close when it comes to supporting

8
00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:28,760
Speaker 2: Islamic state and supporting Islamic terrorism. At least that's what

9
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:33,440
Speaker 2: his opponents say. Today, he's been found guilty of directing

10
00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:37,120
Speaker 2: a group banned under UK terror laws and also encouraging

11
00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:41,400
Speaker 2: support for it online. The group is called al Mahahadji

12
00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:44,839
Speaker 2: Ruhn and it's said to be something that he'd founded

13
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:48,559
Speaker 2: and now he faces life in prison for that. The

14
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:52,880
Speaker 2: group is effectively someone that has been linked to all

15
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:56,840
Speaker 2: sorts of different action here in the UK. Three attackers

16
00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:59,520
Speaker 2: that kured eight people at London Bridge in twenty seventeen

17
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:01,800
Speaker 2: were led by a former member of the group. The

18
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:04,720
Speaker 2: murder of five people at Westminster Bridge earlier that year

19
00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:07,760
Speaker 2: was by a man who'd spent years associating with the group,

20
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:11,360
Speaker 2: and another member killed two people at London's Fishmongers Hall

21
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 2: back in twenty nineteen. So the police say this group

22
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:17,200
Speaker 2: has a clear linked terrorist attacks, and they believe as

23
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:19,480
Speaker 2: well and have now proven it in a court of law.

24
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:23,160
Speaker 2: And Jem Chowdry has a clear link and is a member.

25
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 1: Of it, all right, Kevin the very quickly. The Hungary

26
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:28,520
Speaker 1: has kind of got itself on a spot of bother

27
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:29,559
Speaker 1: with the European Union.

28
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:33,480
Speaker 2: Yes, shrugging it off though so of course, the European

29
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:38,119
Speaker 2: Union presidency is on a rotation among the members of

30
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:41,680
Speaker 2: the EU. It's Hungary's turn, and Hungary has really led

31
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 2: the way in completely disagreeing with EU policy when it

32
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:48,279
Speaker 2: comes to Ukraine and Russia. The Prime Minister Victor Auban

33
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 2: is currently holding that EU presidency and yet on an

34
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 2: unofficial meeting went to meet President Putin and also has

35
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:58,560
Speaker 2: in the past said that the EU kind of provoked

36
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:02,000
Speaker 2: the war in Ukraine. Anyway, he's now been wrapped on

37
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 2: the knuckles, but it's a very small rap. He was

38
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 2: due to host the EU Foreign and Defense ministers in

39
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 2: formal meetings which take place every six month. It was

40
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:14,680
Speaker 2: going to take place in Hungry. It's now not and

41
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:18,400
Speaker 2: Hungry won't be holding the chair post either that's going

42
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 2: to be given to another country. It all sounds very

43
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 2: small beer and indeed Hungry's described the move as completely childish,

44
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 2: but it certainly shows just how fed up the EU

45
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:31,079
Speaker 2: is with the Hungarian presidency so far.

46
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:34,360
Speaker 1: Kevin, thank you for that. Kevin Gray, UK europe Correspondent
