UK TO TOUGHEN TERRORISM SENTENCING

The UK government says it will tighten the system for dealing with people convicted of terrorism offences.

It comes after a man was shot dead in South London on Sunday after attacking people with a knife, while wearing a fake suicide vest.

Sudesh Amman was released from prison a week ago after serving half his sentence for terror offences.

It comes just months after 2019's London Bridge attack which saw two people stabbed to death by a man who'd been released from jail on licence - also after serving half his sentence for a terrorism conviction.

Former UK national anti-terrorism co-ordinator Nick Aldworth thinks the government's response is too simplistic.
