now on bbc news, with knife crime reaching record levels in wales, wyre davies looks at the impact it is having on our streets. a murder investigation is under way following the death of a man and cardiff this morning. officers were called to a lay near the cardiff university students union following reports a man was stabbed. it was taken to hospital where he died from his injuries. stabbed. it was taken to hospital where he died from his injuriesm was six in the morning. they were sleeping. my mum came into the room. she wasjust sleeping. my mum came into the room. she was just panicking. sleeping. my mum came into the room. she wasjust panicking. i don't know what she was panicking for. she said there police downstairs. she speak english. she said i don't know what

they are saying, don't understand them. can you help me? one of the women said i don't know had to tell you, but your brother has died. the 18—year—old suffered 21 stab wounds. i'd just kept on saying is this true? are you sure you have not got the wrong body? she said it is, i'm sorry to tell you. that is when a broke down. his brother has asked us not to show his face. same time my mother was in absolute shock. she went upstairs. made prayers for him straightaway. i will never forget that. never ever in my life, you know. having to break the news to my mum. this photograph of him, taken

by their mother, has become synonymous with knife crime. when was that ta ken? synonymous with knife crime. when was that taken? that was taken three yea rs was that taken? that was taken three years ago. he always used to have a smile on his face. he was the third young man from the city to die because of knife crime in one year. incidents involving knife crime have risen by 90% in south wales in just under a decade. there were three incidents in the last 2a hours of knife crime. there was a threat with a knife in grangetown, a 13—year—old boy reportedly threatened by an older boy. there was an arrest last night where a machete was recovered and there was a robbery where a drug dealer was attending an address and he robbed the occupant of his diamond bracelet. the operation is

targeting knife crime across the capital. they have conducted 750 stop searches and sees around 90 weapon since last summer. so what we have got is a mix of different communities in this area. so there is a lot of stuff going on. we are on patrol with officers in an unmarked police car. these officers are working covertly. what we are finding and what we are seeing and hearing when stopping people is a lot of people these days are carrying weapons for their own protection. the reality is if you have a knife, you are at far more risk than if you don't. but for operation sceptre the big challenge is tackling knife crime fuelled by so—called county lines drug gangs from other parts of the

country. because of the tensions between different rival gangs, the number of stabbings and staff. now what we are finding is a lot of users are carrying as well. because they are scared of being robbed. they know that young teenagers in the city are being drawn into that world. they have even found weapons in playgrounds. we have done knife sweeps in and around this area where we have recovered knives that have been hidden. these are typical drug runners the county lines are using. and we met a 15—year—old who says he has donejust and we met a 15—year—old who says he has done just that. he has worked for county lines gangs and local dealers selling drugs and hiding knives around the city. he has agreed to speak to us anonymously.

you know, if i was selling in this lane, right? yeah. first thing i would think is, "ok, where can i put my knife?" because i'd have to have a knife on me. we hide it in park bushes, anywhere that no one can see, and it's easy to grab. if i need to use it. like, i would probably put it in that white bag right there, just anywhere as long as it is not on me, that is the main thing. he is not armed at the moment, but says he has been carrying knives since he was 13 when he was groomed by an older dealer in the city. i used to have a normal life, watching football, playing games and that. but, one day, an older boy came up to us and gave us expensive weed, gave us money, showed us thousands and thousands of pounds of cash and nice clothes. and he said, like, "if you want to get in this game, you canjoin me. i will show you the way." so we done what he done. he has witnessed county lines dealers muscling in on cardiff. they are carrying anything you think: crack, heroin, weed,

knives, because they want to be here for a long time. if you want to survive for a long time, you have got to be prepared to use violence. do you have a favourite knife that you prefer to carry around? no, just any knife as long as it protects you and will go through someone. he knows he could be locked up for carrying a knife, but he is more afraid of being stabbed than he is of being caught by the police. yet carrying a knife makes you more likely to become a victim. emile wasn't in a gang, but he sometimes armed himself. when you are younger, it is like nothing is real, it is like a big game. you don't think you can actually come and get locked up and be gone. emile works at his

dad's shop in cardiff. last year, emile and his friend zayyan were stabbed when two strangers tried to rob them as they visited a friend. that was my arm. literally the next day, so i had stitches. but there was a big bruise coming out and it was all discoloured. and i had another little one there. their attackers wrongly assumed they had drugs and cash on them. these two guys, they come in. one of them, you could see he was passionate about stabbing. like, he didn't care about it. you could see it in their eyes, you could see he didn't care. he wanted what he wanted. his mate shouted at him, "start poking people!" so that is when the boy stabbed him. this guy was not right in his head. he said to me, like, "i'm going to kill you," and tried to stab me in my neck. as we are fighting, he has gone, like, here. his father tyrone arrived at the scene not knowing

if emile had survived. i thought i was going to find him dead. but he was sat up and talking, but i could see the shock in his eyes. zayyan was stabbed with a rambo knife. and emile in both legs with a flick knife. when i got to the hospital, the doctor told me it was half an inch away from a main artery. and two centimetres on the other leg. but the 19—year—olds admit that, at times in the past, they had also carried knives. though, following the attack, they say it is something they would never do again. as i was younger, i used to carry a knife for two reasons — one to protect myself from other people, and another was to show off a little bit, you know what i mean? little arguments, you pull it out. what? you are talking about, like that. showing that you're better

and badder than them. as a teenager, mojanneh was involved in gang culture and spent time injail. good to see you, brother. now he works in communities across south wales to stop others going the same way. so some of your mates, you know, who are holding knives, are they individuals who are inspired to achieve whatever they want to achieve? no, these people don't think that they can achieve anything. that is why they are out there doing this madness. i used to work in prisons, and working with prisoners who are in for knife crime. a lot of times, i have heard, "i didn't mean to do it." i have heard that countless times. one of the things i try to do in my work is to get individuals to try to think, critically think about their actions. and the implications

of their actions. but in the community, some aren't thinking. i hear it all as a barber, the stories the boys are telling about other people's kids. it is horrifying 'cause back in the day you may have had a little fight or scuffle, and you might run off. now people are pulling these out because they have got them. literally, carrying a knife is mainstream. it is normalised, and they think it's glamorous. last december, in barry on the south wales coast, a night out almost cost one local man his life when a fight broke out. i seen this one boy getting surrounded by six or seven boys. so i thought the right thing to do was to try and stop them from doing anything. louis mills couldn't have expected what happened next.

i was punched, i didn't feel myself getting stabbed. obviously the adrenaline. but i noticed when i walked off there was blood on my hand. and i collapsed, and someone caught me. he had been stabbed with a long blade. it didn't feel good. i thought to myself that i was going to die. do you know how much blood you lost? when i woke up, they said i had had three blood transfusions. because the stab itself was four inches deep. it went inside you four inches? yeah, in my right abdomen. what damage did it do? they had to completely reconstruct my bowel. just that tiny entry wound there. yeah. if i didn't have that operation, i would have been dead. a man was arrested, but there was insufficient evidence to charge him. it was nothing to do with gangs or drugs, it was just being in the wrong place

at the wrong time. last year, 119 patients were admitted to hospital in wales after assaults with sharp objects. that's a rise of 22% in five years. all of us feel like we're seeing more knife crime certainly. going back three or four years, when i first came here, it didn't seem as prevalent. but now maybe on a weekly basis there's a significant wounding. who are the typical victims of knife crime? talking to my colleagues, it tends to be predominantly young men we see of all ethnic backgrounds. anecdotally, the feeling is that probably it's either gang related or on the peripheries of gang related, with or without drugs. while hospital staff report suspicious incidents, not all stabbing victims want to co—operate with the police. the 15—year—old has seen

some too scared to talk. usually people get away with it. you stab someone and the person who you stabbed, they won't report it because they're a criminal themselves and if they say that you stabbed them, then everyone will call them snitch and then it will go worse for the person who is speaking to the police. that's why he didn't tell the police when he was held up at knife—point. i've been robbed. i've had knives pulled on me by people who smoke crack. i've robbed a couple of people, people i used to work for. they give me packs of crack and heroin. if it was over a grand, i would take it and disappear and then they'll be after you. they either think you got caught, but if they think you robbed them it's even worse. in the last five years, the number of stabbing victims admitted to wales' biggest hospital has risen by almost 80%. there were 32 last year, some of them punishment attacks. you think back to the days of punishment beatings

in northern ireland, with kneecapping and things, but certainly we have seen people with slashes to torso, so it doesn't penetrate deep. we don't think we've seen much of it in cardiff but stories of people being stabbed in the bottom so they need colostomy bags and that in certain situations be a mark of a punishment. and it's notjust knives being used for punishments. another deadly trend is emerging, called spoking. spoking is where you use a very thin spoke of a wheel so the wound isn't obviously dangerous when it's first performed, but clearly a spoke that's six to eight inches long into the heart or liver and it's significant. it can be just as fatal as a zombie knife or a kitchen knife. across wales last year, there were 1,353 recorded knife crimes. that's a rise of 83% in eight years. more than half occurred

in south wales. fahad's family could never have imagined he'd become part of the crime statistics. as a young boy, he'd moved to cardiff with his family. they were fleeing war torn somalia. we came here as refugees, you know. we came from violence, you know. we thought this was a lot more peaceful country. and it is, that's why we came here to start a new life, my mum and dad, when they came here. they would never expect stuff like this, you know. police say passers—by tried in vain to help him but one of the injuries was to his heart. sometimes i think he's just going to come home. like, the first couple of days, it was very hard. i thought it was all fake until i saw the body and when i saw the body that's when it hit me, like, you know. what was that like? was it something you wanted to do? i had to, yeah, but seeing it, like his eyes are not going to open, you know.

he's just. . .was just soulless. i just couldn't stop crying. the human cost of knife crime across the uk has led to operation sceptre — the biggest ever clamp down. the undercover team is on the move again. richie is behind a car that's got some people in it linked to a drugs gang. we are following in an unmarked vehicle. there's been some altercation in reference to a mobile phone and some cocaine being exchanged. police intelligence suggests the car is linked to a county lines gang from england. we don't know what they are capable of. you know, we have to be quick, we have to be really kind of dynamic with them.

the force has had £1.2 million from the home office to help prevent and tackle knife crime. we need to get on the front foot and deal with people who are bringing violence and drugs here to the streets now, but we can do that tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow and sadly there is another young lad coming up from london with another rucksack full of drugs to sell those, you know, on our streets. there is still a margin of difference where we are and the bigger cities in the uk. we want to keep that space. i'd be deeply concerned if we didn't continue to push this threat back now and change that culture which is emerging. the officers are still tailing the suspect vehicle. pulling up outside tesco. we're going to put a stop on it mate. get your seat belt off!

yeah, rich, we've got a number of suspects on albany road, outside tesco. we have found things that suggest they are involved in selling drugs, things like multiple phones. the checks on them reveal they are involved in drugs activity. the information they freely give about their lifestyle, having been victims of knife crime, we are obviously targeting the right people. though the men were later released without charge, the force says that stop searches are getting results and a new team is being set up in swansea and another in cardiff. but while they are trying to get drugs and knives off the streets, we've found convicted criminals pushing a different message. this is pablo. he's used the city as a backdrop to sing about gang life,

drugs and knives. # i'm a bando boy, i'm a bando boy pablo's real name is abdullah khalid. earlier this year, the 19—year—old was tasered by police in cardiff when he became violent. they found cocaine and this knife on him. in the past, he's been stabbed several time. he has convictions for possessing a knife and drugs and is currently behind bars. # i'm rolling with this rambo # my best friend is my shank # all i know is stick—ups # and all i know is trap... the 15—year—old says for him it normalises crime. the music always glamorises it. they're trying to show off. you see someone driving a nice car, you think, yeah, he's living a nice life, i want to live like him. most people who've got nice clothes, nice cars have worked hard for it. you want a short cut, don't you? to be honest, we're all trapping

to be millionaires. and we found this new release from an artist called jukkie. # but it's all worth it when i break it into decimals # yg on the strip packing g pack by his testicles... jukkie's real name is laurent mondo. like pablo, he's also been convicted of drug and knife crime. # i've been dicing all day # all this white on my hands like icing on cake... their videos have been watched hundreds of thousands of times online. what's shocking about these videos is the very obvious, blatantly shocking way they are talking about knives, drugs, police, gangs. it's pretty blatant stuff. ijust think, what idiots. some of these videos were filmed in mp stephen doughty‘s constituency. one of the videos is filmed right outside a local school and it's got kids going up to an ice cream van. what sort of message is that? i saw this one. it's pretty grim.

blood stained hands, clothes with blood over them after a stabbing and being burned in a bin — dispose of the evidence. it's a pretty clear message. in the same way as videos were glorifying people going off to fight with terrorist organisations, it's offering a lifestyle which doesn't exist. we put the concerns raised to jukkie. he said he wasn't interested in talking to us. stephen doughty will be reporting the videos to the police. there are obviously some complicated lines about how you balance off freedom of speech or description of issues, but these ones are particularly bad because they are glorifying and encouraging it. they are normalising it. the type of lifestyle which we are all trying to prevent young people getting involved in. months on, how are you feeling? i'm feeling good. better than i was at the time. since the stabbing, local mentor

mojanneh has been helping emile. so, if i asked you, would you rather be a survivor or a victim of knife crime? a survivor. yeah, a survivor. emile and zayyan‘s attackers weren't found. they say they didn't know the men and couldn't help the police. when i am supporting young people when it hasn?t been fatal sometimes it offers a perfect platform for them to reflect on their lives and the decisions they make. you know, one of the things i do, i don'tjudge. i'm not there tojudge. i'm looking at what you can do rather than what you can't do and really to get them to be the best person that they are. fa had's life ended tragically at the age of 18. three local men have been charged with his murder and a woman with assisting an offender. the ongoing investigations meant his family couldn't say their goodbyes, in keeping with their muslim faith.

what normally happens is we do the funeral straightaway. the hard thing is, you can't bury the body, you know, not until the police say, you know, which is very hard for us. i don't blame the police. they are just trying to do theirjob. we used to sleep in the same room together. whenever i used to wake up, i used to see him straight in front of me. now i can't sleep in that room knowing he's never going to be in that bed any more...that i’ooiti any more. i can only make my prayers for him right now. fahad's death hasn't stopped knife crime continuing in the city. for the operation sceptre team, that task is relentless. do you hope you are making an impact? people on the streets know we exist as a team. we need to get in their faces, search them

and pro—actively target them. but it's cat and mouse because some, like the 15—year—old, don't see the dangers. it's a cycle. like, when i get older, if i'm still in this game, i'm going to go to young youths and say, do you want to work for me? i'm going to glamorise it to them because once i've reached the age where i know i can get arrested and go to jail for two years, three years, four years, i don't want to do that. that's when i'll have to grab some kids for myself. would you try to encourage them youngsters to carry knives as well? if i've got enemies and they're working for me, then they've got to carry a knife. and then probably, when they get older, it'sjust going to carry on. you know the likelihood is you'll end up injured or killed or injail? yeah, we all realise that. it's not too late, it's never too late to change, but at this moment in time i've got to do what i got to do to survive. the worst choice that young people are making on our streets at the moment is to pick up a knife. and we absolutely want to be alongside our communities to make sure that's not a choice young

people in south wales are making. emile and zayyan are moving on with their lives, having learned an important lesson. i've just seen the bigger picture and it ain't worth it. you ain't got to prove yourself to no—one, do you know what i mean? there's no good that's going to come from carrying a knife. fahad's family laid him to rest last week. they're now raising money in his name to build a well for villagers in somalia. it's the way hes going to be remembered. his name is going to be put up on a well back home. a lot of people will see it. my brother is going to get a lot of good deeds from it. it will be good for our family to see people will remember him and will still have that love for him, regardless that he's gone. a legacy for a young life

lost on the streets of wales. you have probably heard we have hot weather on the way through the course of next week so things will be warming up over the next few days and also drying up for some of us. we had shower clouds around during saturday, he was showers through the day on sunday, spells of sunshine for many of us but it will not be dry everywhere with rain arriving across the north—west of the uk later on sunday. to start the morning, quite warm from the word go. dry was some sunshine, lighter wind than we saw on saturday the wind than we saw on saturday the wind will pick up across northern ireland and the west of scotland ahead of rain working in here. wet

weather across northern ireland late in the morning reaching scotland by the middle of the afternoon. much of eastern scotland and england and wales a dry and sunny with fair weather cloud here and there and temperatures 20— 25 degrees and the high teens for northern ireland and western scotland to the that rain will affect the final day of the open. dry in the moring —— morning but increasing amounts of cloud in the rain setting and for the afternoon. as we have three sunday evening and overnight into monday the rain and the north—west becomes heavy and persistent totals mount up for the western half of scotland weather could be localised flooding problems. cumbria also seeing some heavy downpours into monday morning. a humid night with temperatures in the mid— high teens overnight. monday morning starts with that hot and humid note from the word. showery rain in the north will push northwards so it improves the northern ireland and northern england which should lose showers. sunny and hot all day, scotland a

little cloudy with further rain towards the north—west but look at those temperatures on monday. about 23- 29 those temperatures on monday. about 23— 29 degrees for most of us and it will be warming up significantly as we look towards the middle part of the week. so heatwave conditions building across parts of continental europe, for spain and europe, france as well, high temperatures here and with the wind coming in from europe it will feel hot. in paris we could break the all—time temperature record, potentially, with temperatures reaching 41 celsius in the middle of the week. not quite as hot here. ‘s showers across north—western parts of the uk. in the south, highs reaching possibly 34 the south, highs reaching possibly 3a celsius.
