The newly elected Muslim mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, has been threatened by a far-right political party. Britain First says it advocates a ban on Islam in the U-K and has accused Muslim-elected officials of taking over the country’s political system. Experts believe the threats highlight a rising trend of Islamophobia in Britain. Our correspondent Mohamed Walji has the details in this report from London.
