Give up your zombie knives before ban, minister urges

Zombie knives and machetes will finally be banned from next month amid horrific attacks on London’s streets.

Ahead of a full ban, people in possession of these gruesome-looking weapons are being urged to hand them in at special bins at the capital’s police stations as part of a blades amnesty.

We’re joined by Evening Standard home affairs editor Martin Bentham to discuss the ban and knife crime's devastating impact on young Londoners.

Plus, in part two, Team GB Olympic 800 metres champion Keely Hodgkinson and victorious climber Toby Roberts on their plans after Paris 2024 gold medal success.
