Here is the outlook, the weekend and into next week, pretty much every weather icon the government has updated the definition of extremism, but who decides what individuals and groups are extremist . And what if they get it wrong . Tonight on newsnight. The independent reviewer of Terrorism Legislation and of state threat legislation is unimpressed. What constitutes hatred or intolerance is very much in the eye of the beholder. Im sure the government has acted with the best of intentions, but there is, of course, a risk it will be seen as a political decision. The senior government mp bob seely is here to explain how it works. Also tonight razor sharp criticism of israels actions in gaza by Chuck Schumer, americas most seniorjewish politician and the Us Senate Majority leader. The target of his ire .

Course corrections. I have known Prime Minister netanyahu for a very long time and while we have vehemently disagreed on many occasions, i will always respect his extraordinary bravery for israel on the battlefield as a younger man. I believe in his heart he has his highest priority as is the security of israel. However, i also believe Prime Minister netanyahu has lost his way. Senior israeli figures, including the ambassador to the us, michael herzog, and mr netanyahus chief political rival, benny gantz, criticised mr schumer s intervention, calling it unhelpful, counterproductive, and unacceptable.
