British preacher Anjem Choudary has gone on trial over speeches allegedly posted on YouTube.
The 49-year-old, of Hampton Road, Ilford, and his co-accused, Mohammed Rahman, 33, appeared in court yesterday accused of terror offences.
Mr Choudary and Mr Rahman were arrested on September 25 2014 and bailed.
