:01:05. > :01:08.That's how confident they are they're not

:01:09. > :01:19.You know, my boy didn't carry a knife.

:01:20. > :01:22.JJ's killers still haven't been found.

:01:23. > :01:25.Knife crime is on the rise in the capital.

:01:26. > :01:30.Between June 2015 and May last year, there were nearly 10,000 offences.

:01:31. > :01:33.In the year to May this year, there were nearly

:01:34. > :01:41.Just designed to go in and pull everything out, it's horrendous.

:01:42. > :01:45.The Home Secretary has been shown the sorts of knive that's have

:01:46. > :01:48.been found by police, all handed in in London.

:01:49. > :01:51.It's illegal to buy a knife if you're under 18, but some young

:01:52. > :01:56.The Government plans to change the law so knives purchased have

:01:57. > :02:01.We know from our own experience, from police information that we've

:02:02. > :02:05.had, that young people have been able to buy knives who might

:02:06. > :02:08.be underage online and we want that to stop.

:02:09. > :02:11.The other thing we're announcing is making sure we can

:02:12. > :02:14.consult on new legislation, potentially, so that

:02:15. > :02:17.knives that are illegal, but are held in private property can

:02:18. > :02:32.JJ's mother welcomes anything that will restrict the sale of knives

:02:33. > :02:34.but says policing must start at home.

:02:35. > :02:37.A lot of these weaponry is coming out of the kitchen drawer.

:02:38. > :02:39.As parents, you need to be checking your children's bags before

:02:40. > :02:43.Talk to your children, find out who they're hanging out with.

:02:44. > :02:46.Because you really do not want to feel like I'm feeling now.

:02:47. > :02:49.If you think about someone you really love and close your eyes

:02:50. > :02:52.and think you're never going to see them, touch them, feel them,

:02:53. > :02:54.even just get a phone call from them, "Mum,

:02:55. > :02:59.You know, that's how I feel every moment of every day.

:03:00. > :03:02.There were tears tonight from both residents and council

:03:03. > :03:05.representatives at a meeting to update the community

:03:06. > :03:10.The response team faced questions on support for victims

:03:11. > :03:12.and over charity donations not getting through.

:03:13. > :03:24.Arriving for answers, armed with questions, many gathered this

:03:25. > :03:28.evening for a meeting that, at times, became emotional from all

:03:29. > :03:32.sides. I saw everything from the fire, from the beginning to the end.

:03:33. > :03:35.From a 17-year-old's side of it, growing up in this community, I

:03:36. > :03:40.loved, it I thought, you know, everyone's loving. And this whole

:03:41. > :03:44.tragedy has made me see we have no support from you. What are you going

:03:45. > :03:51.to do to support us? It's absolutely clear to me that you've been let

:03:52. > :03:57.down. APPLAUSE

:03:58. > :04:02.And you've been let down by statutory and public authorities.

:04:03. > :04:07.For many who feel they don't have the truth, it was heated. I have

:04:08. > :04:11.evidences to suggest that you guys are actually lying about the actual

:04:12. > :04:15.total fatality. I'm telling you to tread very carefully. Following

:04:16. > :04:20.questions surrounding where online and charity donations have been

:04:21. > :04:27.going, Barry Quirk had this to say. First of all, there's 700 just

:04:28. > :04:30.giving pages, 700. Which is phenomenal contribution for people

:04:31. > :04:34.round the country. None of this money is controlled by the

:04:35. > :04:37.authorities. It will be controlled by the Charity Commission. After the

:04:38. > :04:41.meeting, there was still disappointment from some in the

:04:42. > :04:45.community. It's clear that although the council and local services are

:04:46. > :04:50.trying very hard, they are still failing to engage with the

:04:51. > :04:53.communities and there's a culture of disengagement here in Kensington

:04:54. > :04:57.Chelsea. The council has promised change. The investigation says it

:04:58. > :04:58.will give answers, whether it will give this community closure is yet

:04:59. > :05:02.to be seen. They've been quite public in not

:05:03. > :05:05.seeing eye to eye when it comes to travel bans

:05:06. > :05:07.and Twitter etiquette. Now the mayor of London has told

:05:08. > :05:10.American TV audiences that their president shouldn't be

:05:11. > :05:12.honoured with a state visit Whether it was courting the NFL

:05:13. > :05:23.at Wembley or trying to woo the new American owner

:05:24. > :05:26.of Formula One in the capital last week, London's mayor has been eager

:05:27. > :05:30.to roll out the red carpet where lucrative deals

:05:31. > :05:33.with the US might be on offer. But now, he's reiterated

:05:34. > :05:35.that he won't be doing the same for the American president,

:05:36. > :05:43.in an interview with a US Would you be open to a state visit

:05:44. > :05:48.by Donald Trump here to the UK? State visits are different

:05:49. > :05:50.from a normal visit. At a time when the president

:05:51. > :05:53.of the USA has policies that many people in the UK disagree with,

:05:54. > :05:57.I'm not sure if it's appropriate for our Government to roll out

:05:58. > :06:01.the red carpet for a state visit. It's not the first time the two

:06:02. > :06:03.leaders have clashed. Last month, the US president took

:06:04. > :06:06.to social media to criticise the mayor's response to the terror

:06:07. > :06:10.attack on London Bridge. But now, some of the mayor's

:06:11. > :06:13.political opponents What kind of message is that

:06:14. > :06:18.to American companies who want to invest in the United Kingdom,

:06:19. > :06:22.or indeed, those Americans who've made their home here, that massive

:06:23. > :06:25.insult to their country? It's not about the personal spat

:06:26. > :06:31.between Don and Sadiq. This is about a relationship

:06:32. > :06:36.between two countries. So for him to adopt his own foreign

:06:37. > :06:40.policy, I think, is irresponsible and it means he's not

:06:41. > :06:44.treating his job very seriously. So far, President Trump hasn't

:06:45. > :06:46.responded to Sadiq Khan, at least not through his preferred

:06:47. > :06:49.method of Twitter. Did the mayor's comments add extra

:06:50. > :06:52.significance this time because they were made

:06:53. > :06:55.to an American news network and will be presented

:06:56. > :06:58.to a domestic audience there? There are people out there willing

:06:59. > :07:04.to, they'll jump on Khan for having said this if they're

:07:05. > :07:07.Trump supporters. If they're not Trump supporters

:07:08. > :07:13.they'll hold this up as yet another bit of evidence that

:07:14. > :07:17.Trump is not doing anything good for US relations

:07:18. > :07:23.with the outside world. And yet last weekend,

:07:24. > :07:25.President Trump did have The carpet might have been

:07:26. > :07:30.blue rather than red, but many have seen this trip

:07:31. > :07:33.as a sign of growing closeness Tonight, Sadiq Khan has

:07:34. > :07:40.made it clear he too wants a strong alliance,

:07:41. > :07:43.but told us the point of having a special relationship with the US

:07:44. > :07:47.is that we stand by them through difficult times

:07:48. > :07:49.but are not afraid to tell It's been described

:07:50. > :07:56.as an archaeological gem, a sarcophagus, believed to be

:07:57. > :08:00.an ancient roman relic, has been It's one of only three ever

:08:01. > :08:05.found in the capital. For most of these archaeologists

:08:06. > :08:12.this is the most significant find of their careers, a building

:08:13. > :08:17.site near Boro, once This stone coffin, the last resting

:08:18. > :08:23.place for someone very important. They would have been very wealthy

:08:24. > :08:27.and they would have had a lot of social status to be honoured in -

:08:28. > :08:30.it's not only the sarcophagus. It's the fact that

:08:31. > :08:33.it's constructed into But whoever was buried

:08:34. > :08:42.here did not rest entirely in peace, because back in the 1700s, this

:08:43. > :08:45.grave was robbed. An opportunist person

:08:46. > :08:48.uncovered the top of the sarcophagus and pushed the lid

:08:49. > :08:52.to the side and took some The treasures may have been

:08:53. > :08:58.snatched but the real wealth Lies within the earth under

:08:59. > :09:02.the two ton lid, which this morning was being lifted very,

:09:03. > :09:05.very carefully. The last time a discovery like this

:09:06. > :09:14.was made was 18 years ago. Spittalfield, the woman, as she's

:09:15. > :09:17.called, was found in tact, a wealthy Italian who's provided

:09:18. > :09:21.a wealth of knowledge. We know from the isotopes

:09:22. > :09:23.in her teeth that she was born She travelled all that way

:09:24. > :09:27.and is buried in this amazing lead coffin placed within this stone

:09:28. > :09:30.sarcophagus, she is just fantastic. It's no wonder they are

:09:31. > :09:32.excited about this. It's taken seven months of careful

:09:33. > :09:36.digging to get to this point, moving the sarcophagus for

:09:37. > :09:44.the first time in 16 hundred years. The sarcophagus is headed

:09:45. > :09:47.for the Museum of London, The story of this

:09:48. > :09:54.mysterious Roman vip to I'll wish you a very goodnight

:09:55. > :10:11.and leave you with Elizabeth Rizzini We could be in for a stormy night

:10:12. > :10:15.indeed. Here's the warning signs, some cloud as captured by Helen in

:10:16. > :10:18.Hackney earlier. Here is the Met Office weather warning, we see

:10:19. > :10:22.torrential down pours in many places overnight. There could be thunder,

:10:23. > :10:27.lightning, hail, the lot. Here are the storms just tracking up from the

:10:28. > :10:31.south at the moment. Parts of west London have been badly hit. These

:10:32. > :10:34.storms could pop up anywhere through the early hours of tomorrow morning.

:10:35. > :10:38.We could see very heavy rain within just a short space of time. Tracking

:10:39. > :10:41.northwards, it should be a drier picture by tomorrow morning.

:10:42. > :10:46.Uncomfortable night's sleep for many. Lows of 18 or 19 degrees.

:10:47. > :10:49.Tomorrow should be mostly dry. Thunder storms may pop up through

:10:50. > :10:53.the late afternoon. Probably a sunny start. It will feel warm and even

:10:54. > :10:54.more humid tomorrow. Clouding over through the afternoon.

:10:55. > :11:12.Highs of 27. Here's the outlook: Good evening. There is some dramatic

:11:13. > :11:15.weather out there at the moment. Some vicious thunder storms that

:11:16. > :11:19.have pushed into southern parts of the country. Earlier on, we saw some

:11:20. > :11:22.really torrential rain across the south-west, particularly west

:11:23. > :11:26.Cornwall, where we had issues with flooding. Then this evening, storms

:11:27. > :11:29.have developed across some other southern areas of England. One

:11:30. > :11:31.particularly potent
