Anti-Semitism 'disturbing and frightening'

More than a quarter of survivors of the Holocaust and subsequent genocides have experienced discrimination or abuse while living in the UK, research shows.
The Holocaust Memorial Day Trust said 27% of survivors had been targeted because of their religion or ethnicity.
Their family members were even more likely to be affected, with 38% saying they had been abused.
The trust polled 208 survivors of the Holocaust and Rwandan, Cambodian and Bosnian genocides, and 173 relatives.
The research was released ahead of an annual event in central London marking Holocaust Memorial Day.
Joanna Gosling spoke to Holocaust survivor Susan Pollack MBE, who was saved by the British Army, and Binyomin Gilbert, president of the Jewish Society at Goldsmith's University, who has been subjected to abuse.
