0:00:00 > 0:00:00Please be aware that it is going to turn bitterly cold.

0:00:13 > 0:00:17Welcome to BBC London News. I'm Katharine Carpenter.

0:00:17 > 0:00:20The family of a 20-year-old stabbed to death in Camden last

0:00:20 > 0:00:23night, say they feel let down by the police.

0:00:23 > 0:00:25Sadiq Adan Mohamed was one of two young men who died in knife

0:00:25 > 0:00:29attacks in Kentish Town within an hour and half.

0:00:29 > 0:00:31His brother was killed in September.

0:00:31 > 0:00:33Detectives are trying to establish if there's a link

0:00:33 > 0:00:37between yesterday's killings which took place a mile apart.

0:00:37 > 0:00:45Alpa Patel can update us now.

0:00:45 > 0:00:49What we know is that four people were stabbed in Camden last night

0:00:49 > 0:00:53within the space of just seven hours. Two of the stabbings were

0:00:53 > 0:00:55fatal.

0:00:55 > 0:00:57One of the men has been identified to us

0:00:57 > 0:01:00as Sadiq Adan Mohamed, who is 20.

0:01:00 > 0:01:03He was killed on Malden Road, and we have been told his brother

0:01:03 > 0:01:06was killed in September.

0:01:06 > 0:01:11Now his family, who originate from Somalia, have released a very

0:01:11 > 0:01:16strongly worded statement, in which they say:

0:01:37 > 0:01:44We have been in Camden this morning. We spoke to one youngster.If I went

0:01:44 > 0:01:49out and I wasn't back before dark I would be grounded. Now it is God to

0:01:49 > 0:01:55the stage when I am not -- now it has got to the stage if I'm not back

0:01:55 > 0:01:57before dark there a possibility of being stabbed.

0:01:57 > 0:02:00It just crazy.

0:02:00 > 0:02:03The Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police has also spoken today

0:02:03 > 0:02:08at the anger she feels at the senseless waste of life.

0:02:22 > 0:02:25Interestingly, the mayor of London has also spoken. He says immediate

0:02:25 > 0:02:30action needs to be taken. He is urging the Prime Minister and the

0:02:30 > 0:02:34Home Secretary to meet with him and his deputy of policing urgently.

0:02:34 > 0:02:38Thank you.

0:02:38 > 0:02:40Well, these latest stabbings come ahead of a meeting

0:02:40 > 0:02:42of the London Assembly Police and Crime Committee this afternoon.

0:02:42 > 0:02:45It'll be discussing the issue of knife crime and how to tackle it,

0:02:45 > 0:02:48and we'll bring you the latest from that meeting on our programme

0:02:48 > 0:02:49at 6.30 tonight.

0:02:49 > 0:02:51A Norwegian prison governor has told BBC London

0:02:51 > 0:02:53that the pioneering rehabilitation programmes he uses could help cut

0:02:53 > 0:02:55re-offending rates here.

0:02:55 > 0:02:58His model sees prisoners offered drug treatment programmes,

0:02:58 > 0:03:00and the chance to work or study for qualifications

0:03:00 > 0:03:02during their sentences.

0:03:02 > 0:03:04It's also led to a drop in crime rates.

0:03:04 > 0:03:07As part of our series looking at prisons, Marc Ashdown has been

0:03:07 > 0:03:16to Norway to see how it works.

0:03:16 > 0:03:20This man is a truck driver, just finishing his shift delivering goods

0:03:20 > 0:03:25around Trondheim. He is also serving five years in prison. Towards the

0:03:25 > 0:03:28end of their sentence, some prisoners can stay at this unit and

0:03:28 > 0:03:36get a job to reintegrate.It is easier when you come out. If you

0:03:36 > 0:03:41come from inside and start work the day after.

0:03:41 > 0:03:46Inmates have to earn this. All start their sentences at 143 high security

0:03:46 > 0:03:50prisons across Norway. But even here the rotary obliteration starts

0:03:50 > 0:03:53early. Drug offenders like this young man are often programmed

0:03:53 > 0:03:59immediately. A few times a week we are outside

0:03:59 > 0:04:02the prison playing football and land hockey. Instead of just sitting

0:04:02 > 0:04:09inside and doing nothing. We work to get back to the

0:04:09 > 0:04:13community.There are courses run by the local school or training in

0:04:13 > 0:04:19mechanics and woodwork. They get a piece of paper telling

0:04:19 > 0:04:23what they have been working at and what kind of training they have.

0:04:23 > 0:04:27Hopefully it will help them get the proper job.Everything about life in

0:04:27 > 0:04:30this prison is geared towards working with the inmates. Giving

0:04:30 > 0:04:36them all the support tools they need to rehabilitate, so when they do get

0:04:36 > 0:04:41out of here there is less chance of them coming back. It has a smaller

0:04:41 > 0:04:47population but comparatively Norway locks up half as many people as

0:04:47 > 0:04:50Britain. Crime and offending rates are lower as well. The government

0:04:50 > 0:04:57says it could learn from their ethos.Everybody likes to be in a

0:04:57 > 0:05:05community with other inmates.They have a saying in prisons - the only

0:05:05 > 0:05:08thing we take away someone's freedom. But everything possible is

0:05:08 > 0:05:18done to help them get it back and keep it.

0:05:18 > 0:05:21Could teenagers do better in their exams if they could start

0:05:21 > 0:05:22school later in the day?

0:05:22 > 0:05:25Well a team of university sleep experts is carrying out research

0:05:25 > 0:05:28to find out and students from a school in South West London

0:05:28 > 0:05:30are among those taking part in the trial.

0:05:30 > 0:05:33Graham Satchell has been speaking to their head teacher.

0:05:33 > 0:05:35Here at Hampton Court High School, A-level classes start at one

0:05:35 > 0:05:36o'clock in the afternoon.

0:05:36 > 0:05:39Let's have a quick chat with a couple of students.

0:05:39 > 0:05:42Peter, what difference has it made to you being able to come

0:05:42 > 0:05:43to school much later?

0:05:43 > 0:05:48I used to wake up at seven and I used to have to to cycle

0:05:48 > 0:05:51to school to get my heart rate up, and to make sure that I'm awake

0:05:51 > 0:05:53and ready for lessons at 8:30am.

0:05:53 > 0:05:56Now that I wake up at, say, nine, number one,

0:05:56 > 0:05:59I'm no longer tired.

0:05:59 > 0:06:02Number two, I'm less likely to die on the road and number three,

0:06:02 > 0:06:05I'm way more attentive in lessons.

0:06:05 > 0:06:07What difference has it made to you?

0:06:07 > 0:06:08A bit less grumpy?

0:06:08 > 0:06:11Definitely less grumpy.

0:06:11 > 0:06:15I'm less irritable and really just more focused and awake.

0:06:15 > 0:06:17It's amazing.

0:06:17 > 0:06:18Thank you very much.

0:06:18 > 0:06:20The science on this is very settled.

0:06:20 > 0:06:21The teenage brain does act differently to ours.

0:06:21 > 0:06:24The body clock shifts by about two hours.

0:06:24 > 0:06:26Guy Holloway is the head teacher here.

0:06:26 > 0:06:28Guy, what difference would you say it's made

0:06:28 > 0:06:29to your students in your school?

0:06:29 > 0:06:33It's made an enormous difference, and to families as well.

0:06:33 > 0:06:34We have to...

0:06:34 > 0:06:36The difficulty, Graham, is we are accustomed

0:06:36 > 0:06:39to what we are used to and up and down the country we know that

0:06:39 > 0:06:42primary school children, they come happily into school,

0:06:42 > 0:06:46they virtually skip into school, and yet we have teenagers

0:06:46 > 0:06:49and we've all seen it, we've all seen our teens

0:06:49 > 0:06:52make their way to school, frankly stagger like zombies

0:06:52 > 0:06:55towards the bus stop or the train station.

0:06:55 > 0:07:02They are pallid and they look frankly as though they've come out

0:07:02 > 0:07:05of Shaun of the Dead, and we haven't asked ourselves why.

0:07:05 > 0:07:09We now know there's a strong biological rationale behind this

0:07:09 > 0:07:11and I argue that it's incumbent on all school leaders,

0:07:11 > 0:07:15all governing bodies, to be informed at the very least

0:07:15 > 0:07:18about the research and then make a decision on whether a later

0:07:18 > 0:07:21start may be beneficial for their students, even

0:07:21 > 0:07:25a ten o'clock start, a slightly later start would help

0:07:25 > 0:07:27the well-being of the students.

0:07:27 > 0:07:28Guy, thank you very much.

0:07:28 > 0:07:30New research out today also suggest GCSE students also

0:07:30 > 0:07:37benefit from a later start.

0:07:37 > 0:07:38Graham Satchell with that report.

0:07:38 > 0:07:40Now let's check on the weather with Kate Kinsella.

0:07:40 > 0:07:43Now let's check on the weather with Kate Kinsella.

0:07:43 > 0:07:49Good afternoon. It is starting to feel just a little bit colder. This

0:07:49 > 0:07:53morning temperatures hovered just above zero. We did have some cloud.

0:07:53 > 0:07:59Some missed as well first thing. Some decent spells of sunshine. This

0:07:59 > 0:08:04afternoon it looks like it will stay mostly dry. Cloudy with some bright

0:08:04 > 0:08:07spells. I say mostly dry. Potentially we could see some light

0:08:07 > 0:08:12showers. Most places of avoiding them. Temperatures reaching eight

0:08:12 > 0:08:20Celsius. That risk continues into the evening. Maybe some showers.

0:08:20 > 0:08:23Codebreaking up more successfully. Clear skies. Under clear skies

0:08:23 > 0:08:30temperatures will drop. A minimum of between two and zero. Frost tomorrow

0:08:30 > 0:08:35morning. A misty start potentially. Not very widespread. We will see

0:08:35 > 0:08:39some sunny spells in the afternoon. Starting to feel colder still. The

0:08:39 > 0:08:43maximum tomorrow between four and seven Celsius. This cold air is

0:08:43 > 0:08:49moving in from the east. With it, a breeze. An easterly breeze. The cold

0:08:49 > 0:08:53air will filter through on Thursday, Friday and the weekend. As we head

0:08:53 > 0:08:57into next week, we're looking at temperatures really struggling,

0:08:57 > 0:09:01especially through Tuesday and Wednesday, when temperatures may not

0:09:01 > 0:09:07get above for Celsius in central London. The trend is the

0:09:07 > 0:09:10temperatures are dropping. Plenty of dry weather and sunshine.

0:09:10 > 0:09:11That's about it from me.

0:09:11 > 0:09:15Riz Lateef will be here with our 6:30 evening programme.

0:09:15 > 0:09:23But for now, from us all, a very good afternoon.
