Hello, I'm Alicia McCarthy.

Thanks for downloading the yesterday in Parliament podcast.

On Monday the 13th of October, as MPs returned after the party conferences,

the Home Secretary described an attack on a Manchester synagogue earlier this month as an evil act of anti-Semitism.

Jihad al-Shami drove his car at people outside the synagogue and then attacked others with a knife while wearing what turned out to be a fake suicide belt.

Three men were injured and two died. Shibana Mahmood paid tribute to Melvin Kravitz and

Adrian Dahlby who's thought to have been shot by a police bullet as he ran to stop the attacker

getting into the building. This is a moment of profound national sorrow. An attack on our Jewish

community is an attack on this entire nation.

The Home Secretary said the attacker who was killed by police at the scene

had come to the UK as a child and was thought to have been influenced by extreme Islamist ideology,

but he hadn't been known to the security services.

Shabana Mahmood promised the government would provide the Jewish community with the protection

it deserved. And she reckoned protests after the attack by demonstrators opposed to the

banning of the group Palestine action were un-British. And so she was changing the rules.

The police will be able to take account of the cumulative impact of frequent protests

when considering whether to impose conditions.

This will mean that protests that follow the same routes, time and again,

can be forced to change their route or the time of a protest.

The Conservative Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp urged all communities to stand up to extremism

and said the anti-Semitism, which he described as rife on university campuses, must also be fought.
