the queen started the 2018 london marathon.

what we are seeing on the streets of london isa are seeing on the streets of london is a lack of policing resources and a lack of resources at the grassroots of our communities. we can have an argument about police numbers and as a statement of fact, it was pointed out earlier, there are more police officers in london than there were five years ago. well, i don't dispute that. two and a half years ago we had 32,000, just over. now we have just below 30,000. we don't have more police officers than we had five years ago. you have cleared that up for us. on this question of stop and search, whether or not you think it could be used more effectively, if the only contact young people have with officers is when they are stopped and searched, that is not going to be as effective as if there is another relationship?” be as effective as if there is another relationship? i could not agree with you more. absolutely. that was my opening gambit. we have got to start somewhere. we cannot have the youth in london thinking they can just walk around with impunity with machetes, daggers and all sorts of

the mayor of london says... when stop and search is used properly, it is an invaluable tool to the police and what we want is more intelligent targeted stop and search. others say austerity cuts to community centres and youth services is to blame for the update. it's notjust about police numbers. it's about our community services as well — our youth service, our children's centres, our social centres and our local councils that have seen significant cuts to their budgets as well. however, the last ten crime in london was close to the levels we are seeing it as it was from 2002—2004. go back a decade. serious violent crime was a lot more higher than it was today, but so were the police numbers, so for anyone to suggest that this is caused by police numbers, it is not... it's still not clear whether the uptake in violent crime is a long—term trend, but that's little consolation to the friends and families who have already lost loved ones in the latest violence on london's streets. a leaked document says a re

illustrator and london, he spoke to individuals, the child ren‘s illustrator and had london, he spoke to individuals, the children's illustrator and had a massive impact. some of these people have had brutal lives and they need that intervention and support. the third thing which disappoints me is 0fsted, you look at the number of young people involved and last night we had stabbings in newham, school—children are involved and we don't have any significant impact from 0fsted. they have a duty to keep young people safe. i have been looking through their reports for schools linked to children who have been murdered. and there is no mention of knife crime. i think that isa mention of knife crime. i think that is a real gap. so we need to be looking at other agencies and seeing what they're doing. but in terms of policing, let's take the stop and search issue, that because that is in the news, sarah thornton saying we need to use this power and more effectively. i heard an academic saying if you look at the kind of fall of stop and search, in the yea rs fall of stop and search, in the y

. 0ne communities behind us and protect london. one of the people who attended that meeting spoke to us, nicola, she said her own son had been a victim of knife crime and she told us what happened at the meeting. i haven't invested interest asa meeting. i haven't invested interest as a mother who and my child was unfortunately a bit of knife crime andl unfortunately a bit of knife crime and i am unfortunately a bit of knife crime andlama unfortunately a bit of knife crime and i am a member of the london general and wider public, it's everyone's general and wider public, it's eve ryone's concern i'iow. general and wider public, it's everyone's concern now. the knives are not going to differentiate your e, are not going to differentiate your age, your gender, you know, how much you make in terms of pay, it's everybody's problem you make in terms of pay, it's eve rybody's problem and you make in terms of pay, it's everybody's problem and more londoners, you need to recognise, this situation may not go away any time now but we need to

you like london, don't you? yes, i love it. wow. it is a combination of both combusted and uncombusted diesel. it's two different kind of diesel types. people aren't going to be buying this for christmas for their loved ones. there are five pods and it begins with... what am i sniffing here? this is clean air. really clean. but as you walk around it gets polluted. a recreation of a bad day in beijing, delhi, sao paulo, and london. however, he has had to take all of the unpleasant things out, even for london. why notjust have proper london air that's out there at the moment in here? umm, because... would you be allowed to do that? i cannot do that. what's going on? you are not allowed to have the air out there in here? well, this is the problem. if you say i'm going to actively go out and pollute people, that kind of statement of intent means that you will be prevented from doing that. i'm actually lost for words. this one does not smell nice. it's kind of fumey, and there's lots of... the smell of diesel. it seems the moment you tur

that is the mare of london. —— that is the mayor of london. so, let's now talk about what radical solutions may be needed to fix this problem. with me to talk about what those solutions might be are zubaida malik, a race equality researcher and paul scully who's an mp and a vice chairman of the conservative party. in ourcardiff studio is labour mp sarahjones, who heads up an all—party group of mps on knife crime, and in glasgow is michael murray, a consultant neuro—anesthetist. michael, starting with you, it is not so long ago that glasgow was dubbed the murder capital of europe. and yes... well, tell us about the measures brought in and what has been successful in reducing such crime? essentially a range of measures were introduced. it is not the best accolade to have of being named the most dangerous country in the developed world, so the scottish government at that time took a step back and said let's try something new, let's try and approach which addresses violence almost as a public health issue, similar to what was done in new york.

day london is london. city hall says the mayor is deeply concerned by violent crime in the capital but added he has invested an extra £110 million in the metropolitan police force, but more needs to be done. we have seen the violence spreading. it is endemic in so violence spreading. it is endemic in so many different parts of societies. it can only be dealt with ina societies. it can only be dealt with in a holistic manner. it is not only police. they can't stop and search themselves out of this problem. it has to be done in connection with the community. and the violence in oui’ the community. and the violence in our capital shows no signs of slowing down. in the early hours of this morning a man was stabbed to death in wandsworth. charlotte gallagher, bbc news. two people are still unaccounted for after a serious fire in a cumbrian village. emergency services were called to knock, near appleby in the eden valley, in the early hours of this morning. megan paterson has the details. iamso i am so sorry.

looking at london right now, and it is not just looking at london right now, and it is notjust london, other cities, glasgow, manchester, many cities in this country. what do you think is going wrong? i think people are just being misguided. you have too many people in influence not using it correctly, you know. you have too many... these gang members, gang leaders, drug dealers? a lot of mr bigs around the country who are taking young men and taking them down this road. sure. i wouldn't even say that is the case, that there is not enough positive influence, that is the problem. there is no standard person. i couldn't even name you probably... i can name ten rappers talking about making money, doing this, but! can't name you ten people right now who are household names giving the right sort of message. politicians? imean, right sort of message. politicians? i mean, politicians, with all due respect, they don't. .. i mean, politicians, with all due respect, they don't... there enough, they have the education, intellectual people and that, but they don't have the experience, you know. l

east london, south london and so forth. someone like me who has been involved in crime and now i have left that life behind. so i actually understand. understood, that is a fair point. what would you say to a gang member to encourage them not to carry a knife, to encourage them not to drive along the street in north london and end up shooting potentially innocent people? what i would say is put the knife down, but me saying that does not mean it will happen. a lot of youths out there do not have a job. they have no education. it is not a choice between carrying a knife and going to work. there are many people who do not have a job but they do not go out and stab someone to death. do not have a job but they do not go out and stab someone to deathlj know out and stab someone to death.” know exactly what you are saying. but it we want to deter them we need to give them something better to do. that is what happened in my life. when i left that lifestyle behind i then went straight into work, so a lot of my time is occupied by

london gets very hot and sweaty. the real challenge is this weekend, the london marathon on. thousands of runners and this could be the hottest weather for a london marathon in history. good luck to all of those runners. good luck to those on the weekend of. thanks for watching the briefing. from me, goodbye. hello again. yesterday proved to be a real scorcher. temperatures got up to 29.1 celsius in london's stjames's park, making it the warmest april day for nearly 70 years. you have to go all the way back to 1919 to find a warmer april day. and for many of us, we had clear blue sunny skies like this pretty much all day. for the early risers this morning, some mist and fog patches to watch out for, particularly western wales and running through the bristol channel as well. there will be some changes in our weather today because the area of high pressure is still there that it's drifting a little bit further eastwards. the warmest air still across east anglia and south—east england but otherwise the air is increasingly blowing in off the atlantic and that will bring some co

while in ealing, west london, a man has been stabbed. the metropolitan police says the number is not unusually high. adina campbell, bbc news, in hackney. now, the government today said they are consulting on new laws to deal with offensive weapons — and a serious violence strategy is due to be published within days. but ministers accept that more will be needed if they are to deal with the gang—related violence thought to be behind the rise in killings in london. our home editor mark easton reports. the spread of london killings this year has been compared to a virus, and the spike in young people stabbed and shot in the capital should be treated in the same way we would tackle a public health emergency. senior police officers know that one killing in the headlines can spread fear, making it more likely scared young men will carry weapons and potentially use them. killing can be contagious. here in glasgow, for more than a decade, they've been successfully reducing gang violence by treating it like a disease. i remember saying it wo

in london, let's just return and heara bit embassy in london, let's just return and hear a bit more because he has just started taking questioning from the many journalists in just started taking questioning from the manyjournalists in the room. let us hear some of that. as far as the let's say the results of the inquiry, we believe that the way how it was handled is not transparent for everybody. i will explain why. because there are different options to handle this issue. there is option for example paragraph nine, chapter nine paragraph nine, chapter nine paragraph 2, when two parties are involved. for example britain and russia. but there is another option which is chapter eight, where this is the relations only between uk and the technical sec tyre yacht of the opcw. we the technical sec tyre yacht of the 0pcw. we don't know what were the arrangements, how they made all this, let us say, how they did the tests the and all these things, so thatis tests the and all these things, so that is why we are studying now, today, very carefully, the report which was produced by the 0pcw.

these two would make it 50 murders in london injust 2018. we have those two shootings on monday said that one in tottenham, not far from monday said that one in tottenham, not farfrom their, monday said that one in tottenham, not far from their, where a 17—year—old was killed in a drive—by shooting, and the other shooting in waterstone. the mayor of hackney, philip lamble, he is seen to awful incidents, lives cut short. he said he witnessed the response of aid dedicated emergency service. thank you for the latest on our developing story this evening. british companies employing more than 250 staff have less than two hours left to submit figures showing the average difference in pay for male and female employees. the deadline is midnight tonight. more than 9,000 companies have already published their data. our business correspondent emma simpson reports. how much we earn — it's long been a stubborn problem between the sexes. but now, for the first time, our biggest employers have been forced to reveal the pay gap between their male an

in london, the russian ambassador welcomed the news that miss skripal is recovering. i'm really happy and i hope that sergei skripal will also recover and i'm quite sure that one day yulia will come back to moscow. but he once again denied any russian involvement in the attack. so amid the claims and counterclaims, what's the uk case? theresa may says the substance used is novichok, a type of nerve agent developed by russia. british scientists say this millitary—grade agent can only be made by a nation state but they don't say which one. instead its secret intelligence that the government says implicates russia. the conclusion that has the international support of dozens of countries. but russia rejects this and says britain lacks real evidence. it denies ever producing novichok, but says other countries could have done so. it's requested samples of the substance for testing and it's called for russian officials to be involved in a joint investigation. at the united nations this evening, there were smiles between ambassadors, but not for long, as russia accused brit

he has been training for london in ethiopian. remember, he has not been coached any more by the court official alberto salazar, but by paula radcliffe's husband, who used to coach here as well. this is her perspective on his chances in london on sunday. he knows that, realistically, people don't need to expect him to be right up there, leading the london marathon. it is a big ask for somebody that is world class at 1500 metres, best in the world that 5000 and 10,000 metres, to dominate at the marathon. that is not going to happen. but he can be competitive. it depends how the race pans out. i don't think he is coming in expecting to get a world record. but if he can grow in the race, stay with it, the closer it gets to the end, and he still in contact, the more confidence it gives him and the bigger boost it gives him. he is going in wanting to run a personal best, like many of us do in the marathon. maybe with his sights set on steve jones marathon. maybe with his sights set on stevejones as a british record. what else should be

so is london now its own unique electoral ecosystem ? labour has a number of advantages in london. it includes the fact that lots of groups, obviously the young, are disproportionately represented here. a significant number of minority ethnic voters, they also tend more than the average to vote labour. and if you add to that sense that lots of younger people, even those were quite well off, can't get on the housing ladder, feel disgruntled by that and perhaps by austerity, all of these are conditions that are rather good for labour in london but it is worth remembering that in the rest of the country the reverse might be true. so london is almost like an island, a political island now. back in the 1960s when the first elections took place under the current system of london councils, there was a predictable pattern. a two horse race — one up one year, one down the other. and then signs of a london doughnut — redder in the middle, bluer in the outer ring. inner—city voters strongly dependent on social housing lean towards labour, whilst home owners in outer london metro—land

hospital in central london. the duke was admitted to hospital here earlier today in central london after missing in of engagements over easter alongside the queen and other members of the royal family. the other main stories on bbc news— fears over levels of violent crime in london after a teenage girl named locally as tanesha is shot dead. it's appalling. it's not safe to go out, you have to keep locking your doors or do something, it's terrible. jeremy corbyn defends his decision to attend an event organised by a left—wing jewish group following criticism from mainstream jewish leaders.

it will be a kenyan one dashed to at this london marathon. brilliant scenes for those working and watering, perhaps not so brilliant for those running as it is so brilliant for those running as it is so hot out there. brigid kosgei has crossed the line. huge cheers for the kenyan athlete. brilliant result they are. lots of cameras and photography taking place to catch these winning moments. they will receive cooling down treatments, water and the team—mates are congratulating each other. in the end, they were running on their own. it is difficult running a marathon without having your competitors around you. clearly pacing it just right. so are third medallist coming in now. again, receiving brilliant applause. these elite runners from kenya, i suppose the very hot conditions are not really a problem. for the 40,000 runners were doing the marathon today, for many of them, it will really be taking its toll, especially if they're trying to get a really good time? that's right. these temperatures are unusual for the british public. the african
