the mayor, sadiq khan, said every life lost to violent crime was a tragedy and a friend of the victimity. this is such a shock. 17 years old, she didn't deserve that. her mum didn't deserve to watch her die. but paramedics, they helped, they did a good job. they did all they could do. what would you say if you saw your child on the floor? she was screaming, she didn't know what to do. if i saw my child there... oh, god. everyone was out. everyone in this neighbourhood was crying, everyone was out. it's just sad. the latest on those shootings in london. jeremy corbyn has defended his decision to attend a dinner organised by a left—wing jewish group following criticism from mainstream jewish leaders. the board of deputies of britishjews and other groups said it cast fresh doubts on mr corbyn's commitment to tackling anti—semitism in labour. here's what the labour leader had to say when tackled on the issue at a local election campaign visit to swindon. it wasn't a meeting last night. it was an event that was a celebration of passover. i celebrate it with a lot of young jewish people fro

a service with the prime minister, jeremy corbyn, sadiq khan and the family of stephen lawrence leadingre will be a national stephen lawrence date every year on the 22nd of april from next year, but she feels honoured that the prime minister has recognised the changes made in stephen's name and the changes that are still needed. that sentiment was echoed by the prime minister in a letter that was in the order of service, that there had been an almost unquantifiable changing the way he crimes are investigated, in the make—up of the police, all of that is the legacy of the murder of stephen lawrence and the murder of stephen lawrence and the subsequent failure is an determination of his family, particularly baroness doreen lawrence to continue fighting for justice for her son. interestingly, stuart lawrence broke down in tears when the news came out that there would be a national stephen lawrence day every year came through. lenny henry interviewed three young black people who are benefiting from scholarships and bursaries, and he said that a poison, the negative, brutal nature of stephen

>> we have to start with sadiq khan, the mayor of london, knife control. this is the same man, to remind everybody come in two years ago, he rescinded the policy of searching and stopping people who might have knives, might have weapons because he said it's racist and might be islamaphobic. >> laura: do they only stop islamic -- >> they stopped a lot of islamic folks because these are members of gangs. it's mostly gang activity in london. eight to 15 knife attacks a day in london. now he's passing these knife control measures which means you cannot have knives delivered to your home and you can't order them online. >> laura: what about wedding registries? steak knives are great. the ginsu knife set is one of my favorite things to get on late night tv. >> you better borrow it from someone else. this is what he tweeted. he said "i am joining -- oh, sorry. >> laura: no excuses. everyone who carries the knife will be caught. >> if you are a baker, you need a knife. if you are a tech guy, you work on -- you need a knife. >> laura: we use knives that my house to
