Against the American Mardy Fish, Nadal batted him. Less predictable

reports. He was robbed of his mobile phone and then stabbed in

:02:28.:02:34.

After I got stabbed, I went to my mum's house. My mum wiped it up and

my sister sewed it. Didn't go to accident and emergency? No, just

London. He admits he's not completely innocent, but many are.

:02:51.:02:54.

The latest figures show overall knife crime increased in London by

:02:54.:02:58.

more than 8.5% between February and April this year, making 3,636

:02:59.:03:05.

victims. The Met Police is also concerned about rises in serious

:03:05.:03:08.

youth violence, burglary and robbery. That's why, with much

:03:08.:03:12.

fanfare, London's Mayor was recently out with officers in a new

:03:12.:03:16.

initiative to crack down on criminals. Today in the Commons,

:03:16.:03:20.

even the Prime Minister defended Scotland Yard's record on crime.

:03:20.:03:24.

It's early days, but there has been a drop in offences from week to

:03:24.:03:28.

week for the most serious offence, violence with injury, knife crime,

:03:28.:03:32.

street robbery and residential burglary. The fact is, they don't

:03:32.:03:35.

like to hear an answer when it shows the police are doing their

:03:35.:03:39.

job. But that doesn't go down well with others on the frontline. Take

:03:39.:03:43.

Jennifer Blake from Peckham, for example. She says she's won awards

:03:43.:03:48.

for her youth work, yet is now losing her funding. The figures are

:03:48.:03:51.

probably wrong anyway because, you know, young people are getting

:03:51.:03:56.

stabbed every day, and it's going unreported. Maybe if you double

:03:56.:03:59.

those figure, then you'll really get the real figure and an

:03:59.:04:03.

understanding that knife crime has gone up. For every one bad kid that

:04:03.:04:08.

makes a wrong choice, there are 20 kids on the same street making the

:04:08.:04:12.

right choice, but there is no youth clubs open. When we see the cuts,

:04:12.:04:17.

the youth sector has been decimated. The Mayor's office denies any

:04:17.:04:22.

direct link between funding for youth project answer crime levels,

:04:22.:04:25.

but that tackling violence on the streets is the number one priority

:04:25.:04:29.

and that the murder rate for teens has fallen in the last couple of

:04:29.:04:32.

years. An investigation is underway to

:04:32.:04:35.

find out how a Palestinian activist who's banned from entering Britain

:04:35.:04:37.

managed to walk straight through Heathrow Airport without being

:04:37.:04:42.

stopped. Police are reported to have finally caught up with Sheikh

:04:42.:04:46.

Raed Salah in London last night. He's the leader of the Islamic

:04:46.:04:56.
:04:56.:05:14.

On Saturday, Sheikh Raed Salah got on a plane at Tel Aviv airport, one

:05:14.:05:18.

of the most secure airports in the world. A few hours later, he

:05:18.:05:22.

arrived at Heathrow, one of the other most secure airports in the

:05:22.:05:26.

world. His solicitor told me he was treated with every courtesy at

:05:26.:05:29.

Heathrow Airport and commenced on his well-publicised speaking tour.

:05:29.:05:34.

The first stop was Conway Hall in central London, then up north to

:05:34.:05:38.

Leicester where he addressed a group of 500 people. Tonight, he

:05:38.:05:42.

was due to speak here to a group of pro-Palestinian MPs, but it's not

:05:42.:05:46.

going to happen he has been detained by police because, it

:05:46.:05:49.

turns out, he is in fact banned from entering the country. The Home

:05:49.:05:53.

Secretary can exclude people from the country if their presence is

:05:53.:05:56.

deemed not conducive to the public good in some way, and today the

:05:56.:06:00.

Home Office announced a full investigation into how Mr Saleh got

:06:00.:06:04.

into the country without triggering any alarms at the UK Border Agency.

:06:04.:06:08.

But here is the thing - his solicitor told us today that

:06:08.:06:11.

neither himself nor his client actually knew he was on said list

:06:11.:06:17.

at all. No-one had any idea. He wasn't notified. We weren't

:06:17.:06:21.

notified, and we were left with the position of yesterday afternoon

:06:21.:06:24.

scrambling around trying find out whether or not he was on this list

:06:24.:06:28.

or not. So what happened? Short answer, we don't know. Long answer

:06:28.:06:32.

from a former head of security at Heathrow Airport. There are two

:06:32.:06:36.

options: one, the information wasn't in the database, or it was

:06:36.:06:41.

in part of the database but hadn't been joined up with the other parts,

:06:41.:06:45.

or secondly, the officer on the day was perhaps not as attentive as he

:06:45.:06:50.

should be. That's probably rare. What we do know is he was held here

:06:50.:06:53.
