Now on BBC One, its time for the news where you are.

The Metropolitan Police Commissioner, Cressida Dick, says

she expects to have to ask the government for more resources

It could take the form of a bigger budget or more officers.

It is such a sad loss, what happened last week.

It is nice the fact we are supporting those families.

From the top of the Shard, it's possible to make out the sea

Our role as an organisation is about joining up human kindness

in which the people of this country can reach out and show solidarity.

Borough Market is expected to be closed until at least the middle

Stabbings have cost the lives of nine teenagers

One man trying to tackle the issue is using social media to reach

How old are you? 12? What are you doing out at this time? Faron Alex

Paul is a nice crime flogger. He is talking to children out late at

night, near the spot where an 18-year-old was stabbed and later

died. We catch up with Faron three weeks later. Where another teenager

has been stabbed. I have been stabbed and seen the aftermath of

what it does. It is a domino effect and goes through the family,

everyone is affected. My athletics career was stolen. I know -- I never

challenged anyone with a knife. You have a physical confrontation and

you have to stab me. Why should I live with the aftermath of your

cowardice? A few weeks ago he posted a video where he confiscated knives

from gate-crashers at a party his daughter was attending. That is what

penalties for those who carry knives. And he has this message for

young people. If you know you aren't going somewhere that you need to

protect yourself with a knife, you are in the wrong place. Go somewhere

friends when things get bad. A powerful message. Tomorrow's

and more breezy than today. We will start with the look out to

the Atlantic, where the weather is coming from. A centre of low

pressure driving this weather front across the UK. It never got down to

the south-east. One of our pictures from Hertfordshire, a lovely strong

June sunshine but not the case for everybody under the cloud. Rain

moving and becoming lighter as it moves towards the south-east corner.

Behind that we have a breeze from the South and showers in Scotland

and Northern Ireland. The breeze keeping things smiled. A cloudy

start and light rain which should clear away.
