over the next half hour we'll bring you some bits of our show from the last week. knife crime is an issue we have talked about time and time again with you, but for a group of mums we brought together this week, it's more than something they hear about on tv news. each has lost a son to knife crime. moya griffiths is here. her sonjourdan, was 20 when he died from a single stab wound that happened in high wycombe. peguy kato‘s17—year—old son champion was stabbed 11 times in broad daylight outside a primary school in forest gate in london. cheryl armatrading's son antoin was murdered in leicester. antoin was a dad of one. tracey hanson's 21—year—old son josh was stabbed on a night out in london. amy morgan's son tyler was stabbed through the heart. he 16 when he died. juliet murray's 18—year—old son nathan was stabbed to death outside

a supermarket in london. jessica plummerfrom finsbury park in london is mourning after the murder of her son shaquan, who was 17. pauline darcy's son daniel was stabbed in a nightclub in coventry in the early hours of mother's day. he was 18. his sister sophie is also here. michelle mcphilips‘ sonjj was 28 when he was stabbed outside the town hall in islington in london. deborah leonard's 22—year—old son alexander was attacked in birmingham — he was stabbed through the heart. kay green—stewart's son lamar was murdered in east london. lamar was 21. elaine donnelly is herer and she is the co—founder elaine donnelly is here and she is the co—founder of operation shutdown and she will explain what that is in a few minutes‘ time.

karenjohnson‘s son ashley was out with friends in leicester when he was stabbed in the back. it happened last year. also here is lucy martindale. she's an anti—knife crime campaigner. thank you very much, all of you, for coming on the programme. i want to ask you to explain to our audience how losing a son effects you as a mum, michelle? your life finishes. the moment your child's life is taken, your life finishes. you die at that moment with them. mine was my only child, therefore i don't have other children around me, so that is the devastation. whenever you have lost your child, your other children suffer, because that child is the one that's constantly on your mind, so they lose as well. the devastation is they pull

the umbilical cord from you, they take away everything from motherhood, womanhood, and theyjust take away everything that's in your life. the only thing that keeps me going is that my son's perpetrators have not been caught yet, so i get up everyday and fight for that. i totally agree. for me, antoin was my youngest son, he had a good life ahead of him. he was a football coach, just about to get married, a father of one. my heart has been torn to pieces. my life has never been the same and never will be. the only thing that keeps me going is his legacy and fighting so other parents don't go through this pain. who else can describe what it means to a mum, losing a son? for me, it is the fact that shaquan would have been that person, like you said, because i'm a sick person and he said he was going to make me rich. shaquan was meant to graduate last september and never got that opportunity to graduate.

the only one that graduated was my chantelle. because of shaquan today, i'm not going to say that i am happy, i'm very poorly. there are days i feel like life is not worth living. but we have other children outside, i make it my duty to go into schools and help other children alongside the parents, because i do not wish anyone to go through my pain, because it'sjust too much. for me, what i always miss is, like, when my son died, i am a christian, i was thinking to go and touch my son to pray with him because i always liked to pray with him. but the day my son died, i did not get the opportunity to touch his hands and pray for him, because it was the coroner's wish that we were not to get near the body. i miss that every day, i wish i had the chance to touchhis i wish i had the chance to touch his

hands and give my prayer and let him know that i was there when he was going. but... you just want to see him? yeah, for him to hear my voice, to know his mum was there. i miss that everyday. and it's hard because i have other kids, when i go to my daughter's house, when i go to the living room, since my son died six years ago now, my son's picture is still in the living room, she puts a candle every single day. i don't know how to tell her, how to ask her to stop. my other son is doing music since his brother died, everyone is different. it is hard, we cannot explain to them. it takes away your future, it breaks your heart. my daughter is getting married in may, it is meant to be a very happy occasion for all of us but i feel no happiness in anything.

it has just taken away his future and all of our futures as a family. she is getting married, he will not be there. there is always someone missing from every special occasion. that is the sadness for me. this is endemic in society. the only way to protect our children is lock them up inside the house and ferry them up inside the house and ferry them around. that is not practical and it is at the point of insanity because they should be able to play in the streets like i did when i was young. let's call it serious violence, i know other people who have been shot and the instrument used. society is very violent, two, three women die a week. we cannot pretend young people have this problem in isolation. we are here because these mums have lost their children, their babies. this has been building for years. when you

listen to these young people, listen to these young man who have no after—ca re to these young man who have no after—care and then become a knife carrier. one described to me having to ta ke carrier. one described to me having to take his mother's beans out of the back door, the trauma he felt with the ptsd, he felt he had to ta ke with the ptsd, he felt he had to take his knife with him. human instinct and survival is very strong and it is something that is with us. there are some people who go out with weapons to maim and kill. each one of these mums will tell you their case is quite unique. however, there are primary schoolchildren four or five, they don't see class 01’ four or five, they don't see class or race, they get on. many cases ten yea rs or race, they get on. many cases ten years later, one has become the perpetrator and a murderer and the other one is dead. most of the perpetrators were not pre—position to do this. are you saying intervene at primary school age? this is

something that has been building up for years. enough is enough. what point does it have to get to, whose child has to be killed next? we have had it in the daylight, people being shotin had it in the daylight, people being shot in the face. this has been going on for a very long time and we cannot go to the government and say please, £100 million is a drop in the ocean. they are putting money back into the budget they have cut due to the austerity over the past ten years. where are the police on the streets? young people tell us absolutely nowhere. police are being deployed from borough to borough and they have no local relationships. we are going to seize a location peacefully and these mothers and every other family member will be heard on the day. some of the mums that came and programme to talk about the devastating experience of losing son. during our conversation we had from a reporter who went to meet one man in his 20s from the west midlands who has carried

knives, swords and even machetes. he told us going out of the house without his knife was like leaving home without his keys. this is jordan, which is not his real name. he is from coventry and fits the basic profile of those most likely to bea basic profile of those most likely to be a victim or perpetrator of knife crime. i started to carry a knife crime. i started to carry a knife at the age of 15 because i felt scared. i didn't really want to, but felt as though i had to carry it. very rarely we hear from those who are at the heart of the problem. young people likejordan carry machetes and knives on the streets. do you still carry knives today? i do, but i haven't got a knife on me at the minute. i have a bigger weapon now because i feel more safe with it. but i don't want to carry it, but i am scared. so you are carrying something right now? yes. it is bigger than a knife so if

somebody backed out a knife on me, i can back out this. do you understand that by carrying a weapon like that you can potentially hurt or kill somebody? yes. so why do you do it? just to feel safe. jordan tells me self protection is why he feels he has to be armed on the streets. figures show 700 people were victims of knife crime in the west midlands in 2018. so far this year in coventry a dozen or so stabbings have been recorded. his mum is worried, she said she has confiscated over 20 knives after searching his bags. we have protected her identity because she wa nts to protected her identity because she wants to keep her son say. protected her identity because she wants to keep her son saylj protected her identity because she wants to keep her son say. i have searched and confiscated this. he could destroy someone's life. your son is essentially committing a criminal offence and you should report him to the police each time

he decides to carry a knife, why have you not done that? he is defending himself. he is carrying a knife, not to use it but to carry a knife, not to use it but to carry a knife to stop people using one on him. i am very worried about my safety every day. last year, three people died having been stabbed in coventry. i am desperate to get out because it can happen to everyone. we are buying him a stab proof vest and hopefully that will reduce the risk of him dying. in the meantime the authorities will continue to search for solutions to prevent more young people dying. if you have an issue or story you think we should be talking about on a programme, get in touch and you can send an e—mail. next, domestic abuse can involve many things, as you know, from

manipulation to sexual violence. this week, we revealed exclusively to the charity refuge, says of the 6500 people they support each day, 95% of those cases now involve some form of tech abuse. that can mean an x, sewing gps trackers into their children's teddy bears or spying on someone children's teddy bears or spying on someone through a smart tv. children's teddy bears or spying on someone through a smart tvi children's teddy bears or spying on someone through a smart tv. i am not safe. it is like you were always going to be there watching. a new form of control. it is like being raped. what you thought was secure, wasn't. technology is increasingly becoming an instrument of domestic abuse. we have heard three stories of women trapped by tech, controlled and even hunted down. personally i would say they don't change. throughout the entire relationship, things would kick off. he would yell

at me in the supermarket and he would like to humiliate me in front of people. ellen was married for more than 20 years. for every one of them subjected to coercive control. until she reached breaking point. them subjected to coercive control. until she reached breaking pointlj would sit on the toilet and i would just silently scream. grab my fists to try and get that tension because it would just, it was just so horrible. why did you scream silently? i didn't want the kids to hear, i didn't want him to hear. it wasjust over 20 years hear, i didn't want him to hear. it was just over 20 years of this horrible isolation of what hell i was living. ellen left and was staying in a secure refuge. her husband was repenta nt, staying in a secure refuge. her husband was repentant, at first. but then use the family computer to track ellen down. i had moved to a

completely new town, miles away. i have no connection to that place, there was no way he could have known i was there. i had found my friend and agreed to meet her. i put in my gmaildiary, andl and agreed to meet her. i put in my gmail diary, and i didn't put a location. i was heading towards her andl location. i was heading towards her and i could see my friend's face like smiling when she saw me. then her face just dropped. then he just jumped out at me suddenly he was there in my face and it scared the life out of me. i wasjust so shocked and horrified. he said, what words to you? just found you, got you. ellen and her friend managed to get away. her ex—husband is no longer tracking her. lateri

get away. her ex—husband is no longer tracking her. later i found out he got into my gmail account and he got into my diary and that is the only way he could have found out i was meeting that friend at that particular time. it made was meeting that friend at that particulartime. it made me was meeting that friend at that particular time. it made me feel sick to the pit of my stomach. it was like, am i able to break free from this relationship and is he going to try and get into my other accounts? that you cannot get away from him? you cannot get away from him. these are the emerging trends we have found, the tech is used as social media and online stalking. modern life is bringing new challenges for domestic abuse support workers. every day the charity refuge support 6500 women and they have identified that 95% of cases involve tech abuse. so this specialist team gives advice to clients on how to protect their devices and their private information from x partners. we are on our way to go and see a lady has got some concern she has raised with her work at about being monitored.

loads of women are coming to us and saying, iam loads of women are coming to us and saying, i am going to the police and they think i am crazy. it is something out of a crime film, he keeps turning up. if you suspect you are being followed, perhaps we need to be looking into the possibility there is some sort of location tracker may be on one of your devices. in terms of passport security it can be good to have very long passwords, with words we would necessarily think that go together. the advice is often eye—opening and the abuse can get very sinister. people even use gps trackers to monitor x partners. the kids would come back from having gone to see their parents and the location trackers might be sewn into the lining of their coats of in their toys and teddy bears. it is happening. it is happening and we cannot sit on our laurels and pretend it is not happening and

react after the fact. tech abuse often starts while relationships are still ongoing. we got the smart tv, that was his idea. i was all right with the tv i had. one of the apps on the tv was the skype. he would skype call me and i would answer the tv. the tv would ring and you would a nswer tv. the tv would ring and you would answer it with the remote and you talk? yes. on this particular occasion, because we had an argument i decided not to answer the call. when he came in, he said i was skype calling you, didn't you hear the television. i said no, iwasn't calling you, didn't you hear the television. i said no, i wasn't in the room. he said are you sure? i said no, i didn't hearthe the room. he said are you sure? i said no, i didn't hear the tv ringing. he said yes you did, you are sitting on the sofa. where you sitting there? i was,

are sitting on the sofa. where you sitting there? iwas, ijust are sitting on the sofa. where you sitting there? i was, ijust chose not to answer it. so how did he know? because of the settings he put in there, he could spy and watch what i was doing. he could watch me in the kitchen via the ipad as well. it was linked to the tv in the kitchen. so there was almost no where in your home you could go to have total privacy? not really. she was physically abused too. her partner was eventually sent to prison for ten years for attacking to her. what we are seeing is, the victim is experiencing tech abuse are at some of the highest risk of serious, being seriously physically harmed or even killed. of the 1780 cases refuge's tech abuse team dealt with last year, most involved physical violence. he said with last year, most involved physicalviolence. he said he with last year, most involved physical violence. he said he would put a smile from one ear to the other across my face. abby's

relationship was short and very violent. he started going around facebook, i couldn't have a pass code on my phone otherwise i would be hiding something. if i wanted a pass code i would have to tell him what it was. one saturday, she was at work and her boyfriend was looking at pornography. one of the images looked familiar. he believed it was me. he started sending me loads of messages and he wouldn't believe me at all. when i got home from work, he was very drunk. he fell asleep on the sofa. i put my child to bed. when he woke up, i was talking to one of my friends. that is when he saw me on my phone. basically he smashed my phone against the wall. he threw the glass at the wall. my child woke up. obviously he was hurt as well.

abbie's son cut his foot badly on the broken glass. how frightened we re the broken glass. how frightened were you? i was very frightened, at one point i was like, i don't care about argument, but can you help me because my child was hurt. i was holding my child and crying. he started to cry as well. they all successfully escaped their relationships. it is one thing to recognise the signs of tech abuse, but another to stop it.|j recognise the signs of tech abuse, but another to stop it. i only figured out about this cycle of abuse when i ended up in a women's refuge. and then came the journey to my new life. i would never, ever tell people to live like that. they should have their freedom, it is the

privacy and personal thing. no one should invade that. to this day my tv has masking tape over the camera. still? yes, i don't need it. ijust need the tv, i don't need a camera on the tv. if you have been affected by any of the issues in that report and need advice, go to the bbc action line website. finally, she is the 16—year—old swedish schoolgirl who has inspired a global international youth movement to fight climate change. after she skipped school on friday last year to stage a protest. now she has been nominated as a candidate to receive this year's nobel peace prize. she spoke to us this week. when you started your solar protest back in august, did you ever think it would grow and expand in the way that it has? no, i

never would have imagined that when i started, i didn't have any expectations. i just thought i started, i didn't have any expectations. ijust thought i would have to see what happened but i never would have imagined it was going to be this big and it would escalate. it all happened so fast, i don't have time to think through what is actually happening. don't have time to think through what is actually happeninglj don't have time to think through what is actually happening. i want to ask you what you think of the fa ct to ask you what you think of the fact it has escalated in the way it has? i think i was lucky enough to pick the night timing and the right method. i think people were already pretty angry about this and getting more and more aware of this. so i think i showed a method you can use to make your voice heard and other people copied from that. what do you think of the fact that people have been inspired by you?” think of the fact that people have been inspired by you? i don't know, i think it is amazing that young people from all around the world are

making their voices heard and holding the older generation is accountable and saying, this is enough, we will not accept this anymore. i think it is incredible. it is interesting you say you think it is about holding the older generations accountable, do you think older people lack the imagination to solve this crisis? or do you have faith in them?” imagination to solve this crisis? or do you have faith in them? i don't know, if they continue to do as they do now, no. ijust think they know, if they continue to do as they do now, no. i just think they are very unaware of the situation. i don't think people are evil, ijust think they are uninformed. so i think they are uninformed. so i think that we need to give them motivation and tell them why we need to do this and say that you have to do this in orderfor the to do this and say that you have to do this in order for the children to have a future. i think more young people are engaged and passionate about this issue than the older

people. why do you think that is? i think we know it is going to affect our future. this is think we know it is going to affect ourfuture. this is going to happen in our lives. some people see climate change is something abstract, in the future. but it is happening now and we must realise that. that is it that this week, you can that. that is it that this week, you ca n co nta ct that. that is it that this week, you can contact us anytime with your stories. you can see more from our programme online. we are back live on monday morning at 10am on bbc two, the bbc news channel and online. thanks for watching. hello again. the weather is set to stay dry for most of us through the week ahead. spells of sunshine
