zombie—style knives are officially defined as a blade more than eight inches long with a sharp point and a plain cutting edge — plus either a serrated edge, more than one hole in the blade, spikes, or more than two sharp points. the home office says it's carrying out a rapid review of the sale of knives online. our west of england correspondent danjohnson reports. a few days after we placed orders, look what arrived in the post. that has got to be illegal. we were sold these online after the law changed. that is sharp as well, that is not a toy. these are banned weapons. there is a serrated edge on that. delivered to the door. we looked at the uk websites of knife retailers. it says we ship within the united kingdom and found these. that looks familiar. even a knife the government used to show what is

banned. that is actually the weapon pictured on the home office poster. we receive these four knives from three british websites.— three british websites. zombie knives, a serrated _ three british websites. zombie knives, a serrated zombie - three british websites. zombie | knives, a serrated zombie knife costs £99. the cost of the life of my son. costs £99. the cost of the life of m son. , ., ~ ., , my son. this grieving father knows the real cost _ my son. this grieving father knows the real cost of— my son. this grieving father knows the real cost of a _ my son. this grieving father knows the real cost of a knife. _ my son. this grieving father knows the real cost of a knife. he - my son. this grieving father knows the real cost of a knife. he has- the real cost of a knife. he has campaigned to ban zombie weapons. taste campaigned to ban zombie weapons. - want to remember michael when we come here. notjust remember him. he was always smiling.— was always smiling. malcolm was 17 when he was _ was always smiling. malcolm was 17 when he was stabbed _ was always smiling. malcolm was 17 when he was stabbed trying - was always smiling. malcolm was 17 when he was stabbed trying to - was always smiling. malcolm was 17 when he was stabbed trying to stop| when he was stabbed trying to stop an attack. these maybe difficult to see but you have agreed to see what we have found. this one... that looks almost — we have found. this one... that looks almost exactly _ we have found. this one... that looks almost exactly like. - we have found. this one... trust looks almost exactly like. but it is longer. it's enough. i’m looks almost exactly like. but it is longer. it's enough.— longer. it's enough. i'm sorry to show you _ longer. it's enough. i'm sorry to show you those. _

described these as display knives which could not cause harm. be in no doubt, this knife is really sharp and i've spoken to so many bereaved families who know the real deadly impact that these weapons can have. that is why what we have found raises such serious questions for retailers but also for the border force and the government, too. in the us, the political reality of donald trump's re—election as president is becoming clearer, as he continues to announce his choices for his team in the run—up to taking office injanuary. he's nominated the prominent vaccine sceptic robert f kennedyjunior to lead the department of health. other key choices are the florida senator marco rubio as secretary of state, who leads on foreign affairs. a fox news host, pete hegseth, is nominated as defence secretary — he has served in the us army but has never held any political office. one of the most controversial

choices is florida congressman matt gaetz as attorney general — he's faced an ethics investigation in the house of representatives. there are still key roles to be filled — including for the treasury. our north america editor, sarah smith, joins us from washington. raised eyebrows, sarah. yes. i mean it is obvious — raised eyebrows, sarah. yes. i mean it is obvious from _ raised eyebrows, sarah. yes. i mean it is obvious from these _ raised eyebrows, sarah. yes. i mean it is obvious from these nominations | it is obvious from these nominations that donald trump is rewarding loyal supporters at the same time he is putting in place people he knows will do exactly as he says. he faced a lot of internal opposition in his first term and he doesn't want any of that. but that said there are many, many people that he could have nominated who would be better qualified than some of these people and would be much less controversial. but it does feel as though he is being deliberately provocative with some of these choices. almost to show off his hostile takeover of the american government. but it is not certain he will get everything he wants. donald

trump is rewarding his most loyal acolytes with big jobs. robert kennedyjunior dropped his own bid for the white house to back trump and now the president—elect wants to put him in charge of america's public—health. put him in charge of america's public-health.— put him in charge of america's public-health. and he is going to help make _ public-health. and he is going to help make america _ public-health. and he is going to help make america healthy i public-health. and he is going to | help make america healthy again. public-health. and he is going to i help make america healthy again. he is a help make america healthy again. he: is a provocative choice because he is a provocative choice because he is a provocative choice because he is a vocal vaccine sceptic who repeats debunked... he says he won't stop anybody from getting vaccinated.— stop anybody from getting vaccinated. , ., ., , ., vaccinated. anybody who wants to get a vaccine i vaccinated. anybody who wants to get a vaccine i am — vaccinated. anybody who wants to get a vaccine i am not _ vaccinated. anybody who wants to get a vaccine i am not going _ vaccinated. anybody who wants to get a vaccine i am not going to _ vaccinated. anybody who wants to get a vaccine i am not going to get - vaccinated. anybody who wants to get a vaccine i am not going to get in i a vaccine i am not going to get in their— a vaccine i am not going to get in their way— a vaccine i am not going to get in their way if— a vaccine i am not going to get in their way if you _ a vaccine i am not going to get in their way if you want _ a vaccine i am not going to get in their way if you want a _ a vaccine i am not going to get in their way if you want a vaccine, i their way if you want a vaccine, your— their way if you want a vaccine, your children. _ their way if you want a vaccine, your children, those _ their way if you want a vaccine, your children, those vaccines i their way if you want a vaccine, i your children, those vaccines will be available _ your children, those vaccines will be available-— your children, those vaccines will be available. please welcome the resence be available. please welcome the presence of _ be available. please welcome the presence of the _ be available. please welcome the presence of the united _ be available. please welcome the presence of the united states i be available. please welcome the | presence of the united states was yellow _ presence of the united states was yellow as— presence of the united states was yellow as donald trump or savouring victory _ yellow as donald trump or savouring victory last _ yellow as donald trump or savouring victory last night, he had a gentle warning _ victory last night, he had a gentle warning for those closest to him. people _ warning for those closest to him. people like you, bobby. don't get too popular, bobby! you have reached about the level! matt

there is a budget coming in october, and it's going to be painful. not the best news for the chancellor today as she visited an oxfordshire lab to see if a new form of fusion energy could fuel britain's future growth. it reached 100 million celsius, hotter than the sun or anywhere else in the solar system. the same can't be said right now for the british economy. we create the plasma and then we hold it there with the magnets. of course we want that growth to be stronger and to be felt by families across the united kingdom. we've now had that budget last month. that has drawn a line under the economic chaos and mismanagement of the last few years. do you accept at all that that three—month hiatus of doom and gloom could have affected spirits in the economy and dampened them such that we get barely any growth at all? we've had barely any growth in the uk economy for more than a decade now. 0.7, 0.5% earlier in the year? we bounced back from a recession the previous year. the truth is, our economy has not grown in the way that it should do and in the way that our competitors have. these are the recent uk economic numbers. after the pandemic bounceback in growth, it's been sluggish,

a recession in red last year and then another bounceback which has now petered out, with just 0.1% growth over summer. the uk economy could do with just a little more heat right now. while the plan here is to produce a futuristic energy source, they're already exporting some of the world's most advanced industrial magnets across the world, and it is in the area of trade, both with america and europe, where there are big uncertainties over the economy.
