the track. natasha henry, bbc news. that's all from sportsday. we'll have more throughout the evening. thank you. the home secretary has told police leaders to draw up requests for extra resources by the end of this week. to tackle at the national police chief counsel has called the emergency right and knife crime. senior officer subject to haveit crime. senior officer subject to have it set the government would do everything except to provide some forces with the resources they require, and insisted he was committed to their needs. let's speak to doctor of the charity street doctors that works closely with high—risk young people to discourage them from carrying weapons. thank you for being with us on bbc news this evening. how struck have you been with the work you charity has done, by the extent at the carrying of knives? thank you for inviting us to take part in the

discussion. street deck this is a national charity working with young people at risk and collaboration with local delivery partners. health ca re with local delivery partners. health care volunteers with local delivery partners. health ca re volu nteers across with local delivery partners. health care volunteers across the uk and 20 teams across 16 cities. we collaborate with delivery partners to work with young people at risk and learn about how to help when someone and learn about how to help when someone is bleeding and when someone is unconscious. they are able to acquire skills in our sessions because the hour—long durations without health care professional volu nteers without health care professional volunteers is to upscale them, and to know what to do in a medical emergency. there are props and tools we use, the young people are getting on theirfeet, practically we use, the young people are getting on their feet, practically engaged. taking part in real—life role—plays scenarios, so that if they are at the scene of a medical emergency they know what to do and feel confident to do so. useful practical skills that could save somebody‘s life. in the end, what you really wa nt to life. in the end, what you really want to achieve is that young people are given the choice to choose not to carry a knife. and to discourage

their friends from carrying to carry a knife. and to discourage theirfriends from carrying knives, and to go back to my question, have you been struck by the extent of this. i think we are all in the community working with young people. charities like ourselves and public services are lined by the level of youth violence that is appearing in the news and indeed the instant and finding a solution to that. we don't preach to young people, but they learn about the medical consequences of violent injury. they learned that it isa of violent injury. they learned that it is a safe place to stop anybody, and we discussed within the reasons why they may or may not be carrying and the outcomes of that kind of behaviour. i suppose a lot of people from a young age can grasp why a gun, a bullet fired at high velocity

is going to cause a lot of damage to somebody‘s body. did they grasp what damage pushing a knife into somebody can do? often for somebody who necessarily doesn't have a huge lot of physical strength themselves. if there a mismatch between the risk they think the knife pauses and the manager tested or can't do to the body? i think you are right. young people think perhaps you live or die based on things we see in tv and films. and what we allow them to see if that grey area in between. those medical consequences of a penetrating injury. where you might end up with a colostomy bag or a catheter or perhaps a disability or paralysis. and then learning and hearing about that does enable a cognitive shift to happen, and perhaps they are now thinking maybe this is not an option i want to do, leave the house today with a weapon. now i am aware of what the impact could mean. we are pressed for time,

but can you think of an example from your own experience or talking to somebody else in the charity, where it has had that impact on somebody? absolutely. we know of young people now who get followed up with caseworkers, licking use organisations where we reach them, that they have now completely reconsidered options and perhaps looking at apprenticeships or pursuing further education, i think the required skills that open up other opportunities for them. we certainly think young people are capable of making positive choices. our work and the other work of charities is enabling them to do so. doctor rebecca long of the charity street doctors. thank you so much for your work and telling us about it this evening. let's take a look at the weather prospect. a lot going on with our weather today. some sunshine and heavy downpours and outbreaks of rain, even some snow over the high ground and the north. i have to say things
