:00:58. > :01:07.to the programme. First tonight: The mayor
:01:08. > :01:10.has launched a major crackdown on knife crime,
:01:11. > :01:14.it comes after an escalation in violence which has seen nine
:01:15. > :01:17.teenagers killed in the capital this year, and three fatal stabbings
:01:18. > :01:22.in the past 24 hours. The strategy could see more metal
:01:23. > :01:25.detectors in schools, along with an increase in the use of stop
:01:26. > :01:28.and search by police. Sadiq Khan has also pledged
:01:29. > :01:31.more money to fund anti as our home affairs correspondent
:01:32. > :01:48.Nick Beake reports. Noumea chose this boxing club in
:01:49. > :01:54.Brixton to launch his new assault on knife crime. Pastor Lorraine Jones
:01:55. > :01:59.set the top three years ago after her 20 old son Dwayne was stabbed to
:02:00. > :02:04.death. It is the kind of place Sadiq Khan says he will now give more
:02:05. > :02:07.money to. It is vitally important to have spaces like theirs, because it
:02:08. > :02:12.is based is like this that young people feel comfortable in. Unless
:02:13. > :02:15.they feel comfortable and safe, they cannot address their internal issues
:02:16. > :02:20.and social issues that they are having to deal with. Umea blamed his
:02:21. > :02:25.predators and the Conservative led coalition for a recent rise in light
:02:26. > :02:30.crime. As he unveiled his strategy. What can you say is gently drop
:02:31. > :02:38.pioneering and make that difference? Knife crime has been going up in
:02:39. > :02:42.London since 2014. It is clear that lovers have to work together. That
:02:43. > :02:45.means rather than closing down youth centres because of Government cuts,
:02:46. > :02:51.supporting them. What else is in his strategy? A specialist team of 80
:02:52. > :02:56.Met officers to be sent into knife crime hotspots. They will be more
:02:57. > :03:00.stop and search, and the increased funding for community projects.
:03:01. > :03:04.Also, more help poor people to leave gangs, a crackdown on knife sales,
:03:05. > :03:12.and more weapons searches in schools. This strategy to fight
:03:13. > :03:17.night crime is something they may and his team have been working on
:03:18. > :03:20.for the past year. What is organisations are involved, but the
:03:21. > :03:30.Metropolitan Police is key to its success. This strategy gives all
:03:31. > :03:33.across London the opportunity to get involved in stopping knife crime,
:03:34. > :03:40.and the most aborted thing about it is that it is all-encompassing and
:03:41. > :03:42.there has been an enormous amount of consultation, engagement with
:03:43. > :03:46.particularly young people, so it is highly relevant to them. Not
:03:47. > :03:52.everyone exist packages destined to work. Sefton Henry started selling
:03:53. > :03:57.drugs when he was just eight. He now runs an anti-gangs project. He think

:04:55. > :04:58.They say the agency advised them to adopt a child from India instead,

:05:13. > :05:14.Convinced they could offer a child a loving home,

:05:35. > :05:39.Initially I was hurt and then I was angry.
:05:40. > :05:42.They should be looking at us as people and
:05:43. > :05:45.understanding more about our lives, who we are, and not just one
:05:46. > :05:51.particular area, such as cultural heritage.
:05:52. > :05:54.The couple, both born and raised in Britain, tried to get the
:05:55. > :05:56.decision reversed through the agency's complaints division.
:05:57. > :06:00.They have had support from their MP, Theresa May, but they have not
:06:01. > :06:03.even been allowed to start the long application process, which is why
:06:04. > :06:11.I feel that the council has got it wrong, in the sense that they have
:06:12. > :06:14.prioritised cultural heritage as the one
:06:15. > :06:18.and primary factor that they will consider before even allowing
:06:19. > :06:23.The effect of doing that is creating a form
:06:24. > :06:28.Adopt Berkshire is the council's adoption agency.
:06:29. > :06:32.When we asked about this case, a spokesperson said they would not

:06:47. > :06:51.For us, colour doesn't mean a single thing to us, you know.

:08:30. > :08:38.Simon got up, dusted The scars of the incident
:08:39. > :08:55.are plain to see. The impact on the windscreen of the
:08:56. > :09:03.bus, we have their a slight cushioning effect. That has served
:09:04. > :09:06.to reduce the impact on the head. In the aftermath, a crowd gathers to
:09:07. > :09:14.help. It is not confirmed in either of the two Reading bosses employees
:09:15. > :09:18.was the driver. The scars are all there to see. Many here think that
:09:19. > :09:22.it careered around the corner because of a mechanical failure.
:09:23. > :09:26.That is not the subject of an ongoing investigation. Reading
:09:27. > :09:32.bosses said it is shot by the incident and said its regrets to

:13:38. > :13:41.We had put in place measures to fix that and improve that. Despite you

:18:17. > :18:21.mornings. He requires hourly care throughout the day and roughly two
:18:22. > :18:28.hourly care throughout the night. It is hard. There has been a few times

:19:58. > :20:02.if we do not get respite, I don't know what the future holds, I really

:20:40. > :20:44.The world's first cash machine was born right here in Enfield half a
:20:45. > :20:50.century ago. Judith Simpson was 20 years old that they, she came to see

:20:55. > :20:58.outside the bank, a lot of people did not really know what was going
:20:59. > :21:06.on. I think people came just to be nosy. I remember that Reg Varney was
:21:07. > :21:11.here and he put some sort of piece of paper into the machine and
