A new definition of extremism has been unveiled by the UK government, with Communities Secretary Michael Gove naming five groups to be assessed against it.
The new definition will apply to - but not criminalise - groups promoting an ideology based on "violence, hatred or intolerance".
But some groups and MPs have criticised the move - saying it could risk free speech or lead to unfair treatment.
