:00:40. > :00:45.Hundreds came to honour another victim of knife crime.
:00:46. > :00:48.Prayers were heard around the body, stabbed to death
:00:49. > :00:53.Afterwards, his family pleaded for change.
:00:54. > :00:58.Please make sure you look after your children, pray for my son.
:00:59. > :01:01.This is what these kind of crimes do to individuals,
:01:02. > :01:40.Thousands of people today at his funeral were crying
:01:41. > :01:41.He is one of 16 young people stabbed to death so far this year.
:01:42. > :01:42.There is new evidence the problem of knives is coming
:01:43. > :01:43.New figures show an increase in the number of weapons
:01:44. > :01:44.Over the last two years, there were 533 weapons found
:01:45. > :01:44.in schools in London, ranging from samurai
:01:45. > :01:45.swords to airguns, and included bricks and rocks.
:01:46. > :01:45.215 were taken from 13 to 15-year-olds, but four were taken
:01:46. > :01:50.Sometimes the younger children are used to carry for older
:01:51. > :01:52.children, so they are learning from their siblings,
:01:53. > :01:55.These cases are very worrying, because if you don't catch
:01:56. > :01:58.the younger children now, they will go on to continue to be
:01:59. > :02:03.That is the challenge for police, finding the weapons
:02:04. > :02:07.Last week we went out with undercover police,
:02:08. > :02:10.A lot of kids carry them in school bags.
:02:11. > :02:14.It is not until another classmate tells the teacher
:02:15. > :02:18.That is where this sort of approach comes in.
:02:19. > :02:25.A response unit from Lewisham tackling knife crime.
:02:26. > :02:27.This is one way of easing the problem, but it
:02:28. > :02:32.also risks alienating the young people affected.
:02:33. > :02:35.Another option is weapons arches, one of the tactics being used
:02:36. > :02:37.at Newman Catholic College in Harlesden, where they are
:02:38. > :02:42.This school is not having problems with weapons.
:02:43. > :02:44.The headteacher says trust between pupils,
:02:45. > :02:47.teachers and the local police is key.
:02:48. > :02:51.Psychologically, the children know that the teachers are everywhere,
:02:52. > :02:55.we welcome them in the morning, we are at the bus stops,
:02:56. > :02:58.we bring people to assemblies, we can do safety arches,
:02:59. > :03:02.so they know that safeguarding and all of the issues have a really
:03:03. > :03:08.high priority in our lives and in their lives.
:03:09. > :03:11.Charities say a lot of the young people who carry weapons do it
:03:12. > :03:13.because they feel unsafe, so what might help?
:03:14. > :03:16.It is giving young people a space to be heard.
:03:17. > :03:21.Young people say they are not heard, so they give up.
:03:22. > :03:25.They are not being heard, they feel there is no space for them
:03:26. > :03:30.One of the programmes we deliver, they have that space.
:03:31. > :03:34.Violent crime is very rare, but to keep it that way,
:03:35. > :03:40.weapons have to stay out of classrooms.
:03:41. > :03:43.More now on that cyberattack on NHS computers.
:03:44. > :03:46.As we've been hearing, hospital services have been hit
:03:47. > :04:04.Yes, it has been hit hard, the number of hospitals are growing. If
:04:05. > :04:08.you hours it was at eight hospitals, now we know 15 hospitals have been
:04:09. > :04:45.hit right this attack. We have a full list, ...
:04:46. > :04:52.The QE2 hospital and Northwick Park have also been affected. GP
:04:53. > :04:59.surgeries have also been affected, but we don't know how many. What is
:05:00. > :05:03.the advice to patients? If it is not an emergency, do not go into your
:05:04. > :05:10.accident and emergency, call the non-emergency line, 111. This is
:05:11. > :05:17.affecting non-emergency operations and switchboards, so add new
:05:18. > :05:20.hospital their switchboard is down. We also know that ambulances are
:05:21. > :05:26.being diverted to neighbouring hospitals. One doctor said he is
:05:27. > :05:30.using pen and paper, one patient who was due to have an operation today
:05:31. > :05:36.said he had been waiting for months, he was frustrated by this. The
:05:37. > :05:40.system is still down, and every hour that goes by, there is more
:05:41. > :05:44.disruption, and that means patients are going to have to wait until they
:05:45. > :05:46.know when they can use their local hospital.
:05:47. > :05:48.A virtual-reality company in London has raised

:06:10. > :06:17.They were auditioning for the lead role in a new show about the singer.
:06:18. > :06:20.Cilla The Musical at the Dominion Theatre will tell
:06:21. > :06:22.the story of the late star's rise from cloakroom attendant to major
:06:23. > :06:27.That's it for now from me, but let's find out what the weather's
:06:28. > :06:43.It looked reasonable where I was, and it does across King's Cross. It
:06:44. > :06:47.is not especially cold. A fair amount of cloud first up, but I am
:06:48. > :06:54.hopeful the odd light show will pass away. The showers in the afternoon
:06:55. > :06:57.are light and largely connected, or collected, across northern and
:06:58. > :07:02.western parts. If you are stepping out for Saturday evening, there will
:07:03. > :07:06.be a couple of hours of wet weather. The frontal system clears away
:07:07. > :07:11.eventually and leaves us with a lot of dry weather around. Don't be
:07:12. > :07:16.surprised north of town to see a scattering of showers. Most of them
:07:17. > :07:23.will be light. Should a long on that south-westerly breeze. I would urge
:07:24. > :07:29.you if you can to make the most of that weekend whether prospect,
:07:30. > :07:30.because, as you can see, by Monday we are looking at something wet and
:07:31. > :07:42.windy. A bit of a mixed bag earlier on
:07:43. > :07:43.today, some of us were cloudy with
