Now lets start tonight with that shocking stabbing in east london earlier today, where a 14 year old boy has been tragically killed. Several people, killed. Several people, including two Police Officers, were also attacked by the assailant. The man who was wielding a sword. While the metropolitan police have now confirmed that a suspect remains in custody in hospital after being tasered and arrested on suspicion of murder. Lets get the very latest from mark white, our very own home and security edhon our very own home and security editor. Mark, this was a shocking day in london. Yes it was. And that 36 year old suspect, because of injuries that he sustained in that van which collided with a house in thurloe gardens, just not far from that tube station. A whole community will be devastated by the heartbreaking news that a 14 year old boy was killed in a horrific sword attack in hainault this morning that saw four others injured, including two metropolitan Police Officers i i i cant imagine what that poor boys family are going through, and they have my deepest heartfelt condolences and i know the thoughts and prayers not just of this community, but our whole country. My prayers are also with the other victims of this horrific attack and their loved ones. So that was the local mp, wes streeting. There just really talking about the impact that this has had on the local community. And, you know, of course, tom, just how very significant an incident is when you have the king talking about it. The Prime Minister leader of the opposition and other senior politicians all expressing their shock at what has happened and also extending their their thanks and gratitude and best wishes to those Police Officers who moved in to arrest this suspect. And weve seen that suspect. And weve seen that footage very dramatic , released footage very dramatic, released in the last hour of the moment. This suspect was arrested, captured on a doorbell camera. Captured on a doorbell camera. It shows groups of Police Officers firing multiple taser shots to try to subdue this 36 year old before eventually being able to get him to the ground and put the handcuffs on him. As i say, he has not been questioned as yet, but police have been making very urgent enquiries to determine whether they knew this individual, what they knew this individual, what the potential motivation might be. They have said so far they have not been able to find any record that they have had any interaction with this man before. And as for the motivation, clearly they do not know what his motivation is yet until theyre able to speak to him , theyre able to speak to him, theyre able to speak to him, they will be searching his home address, probably other addresses linked to him and his family and friends as they try to build a picture of what on earth it was that motivated him to carry out. What prosecutors say, of course, was an absolute horrific attack. At 7 am. This morning in east london. It was absolutely shocking. And in so many ways, so very unusual. But mark, i put it to you that in one other way it perhaps wasnt so unusual. And thats this. London is experiencing an epidemic of knife crime. Weve seen the statistics shoot up, particularly in the capital and in some ways this unusual incident just fits into that same repeated pattern. Same repeated pattern. Well, it does, because knife crime comes in many different forms. There is the street forms. There is the street violence that we see time and again , involving usually young again, involving usually young men carrying knives and using them to settle disputes , to them to settle disputes, to coerce others , we see that we coerce others, we see that we see domestic incidents and we see domestic incidents and we see other, attacks that are targeted or motivated by what we dont know in this certainly falls into the wider category of knife crime, 22 up in london last year. And incidentally , the last year. And incidentally, the home secretary, james cleverly, wrote last month to, the london mayor about that rise in knife crime. Those figures saying that actually that 22 rise in knife crime in london skewed the figures for the whole country because there would have been a slight decrease in knife crime across the country as a whole. But when you take into consideration 22 of a rise in london itself , it consideration 22 of a rise in london itself, it meant that there was a 5 increase across there was a 5 increase across the country as a whole. Tom not quite. That is an extraordinary statistic that without london, knife crime would be falling across the country, but including london. In those statistics it actually means that that knife crime on the whole, is up 22 rise. Extraordinary statistics mark white, our home and security edhon white, our home and security editor. Thank you for giving us that overview. Well, im that overview. Well, im delighted to be now joined in the studio by tony long. Hes a former met Police Specialist firearms officer and instructor, and tony, what struck me most about looking at that footage , about looking at that footage, that new footage, the doorbell footage. Firstly, seven officers footage. Firstly, seven officers are there to try and apprehend one suspect and then a further four rush into the fray, so many officers to take down one suspect and 22 minutes after they first received that call. They first received that call. Well, yes, of course, its you know, we are in london, so, there are more Police Officers, although if you speak to response officers, theyd probably be surprised to find that out because there are so few of them on the ground. But one thing we are able to do in london is to get numbers to the scene quite quickly, because theyre mobile , that said, of theyre mobile, that said, of course, if you looked at that footage, i could only see two of the people that were were obviously taser , equipped. So obviously taser, equipped. So most of the officers that were there trying to deal with them, trying to contain him, and i suspect the reason it took so long is because, you know, to get within, get close enough to, to contain him, you know, youre going to be within striking distance of him, even a taser, although youve got some distance between you, it takes very little time for an aggressive person armed with a, with an edged weapon to actually close that gap on you. And so they would have been hesitant. They would have been trying to block off it escapes. They would have been trying to keep the pubuc have been trying to keep the public away, of course, nowadays, you know , biggest part nowadays, you know, biggest part of the problem is, is keeping people with, with their phones out from trying to take pictures of it. So its a very difficult situation to deal with, a hugely difficult situation. One of the most striking things here is that two of the five people that ended up in hospital, one, of course, sadly died. Two were Police Officers who received serious injuries, injuries that required surgery injuries that required surgery in hospital today , people have in hospital today, people have been asking should these officers themselves be better protected . Some of them only have batons. Few of them have tasers , even fewer still tasers, even fewer still firearms. Now, as an ex firearms officer yourself, whats your view on the utility of more Police Officers having that capability . Capability . Im very torn on this, i think from a purely from a moral standpoint, i think it says something about a society that are prepared to pay the salaries of men and women to protect them , but then dont give them the equipment to protect themselves. So, you know , i hear it all the so, you know, i hear it all the time. Oh, i wouldnt really like to see british Police Officers armed. Well, im sure you wouldnt, but are you going to do their job unarmed . Because do theirjob unarmed . Because i certainly wouldnt want to do it in this day and age without a handgun. I spent 25 of my 30 years as part of an armed, armed team. And so therefore, i had the privilege and some would say the privilege and some would say the luxury of carrying a firearm, but the vast majority of officers dont have that a good percentage wouldnt want to. Well, this is what i was going to come on to because there has there have been surveys of serving Police Officers. And ive found it officers. And ive found it perhaps quite surprising that so many have said they dont want to use firearms, but also reports of Firearms Officers now handing back their weapons. So its interesting you should say that , because should say that, because whenever there has been a survey , rather in the same way that you were surprised by londons knife Crime Statistics skewing the whole country. When the the whole country. When the Police Federation have done these surveys in the past, theyve been done across the whole country. And of course, a huge amount of officers dont feel the need for, you know, if youre working in a predominantly rural area, youve never found the need to go. But i guarantee if you ask some of the young officers that you see responding to that situation, whether or not they would like to be better prepared, then i think some would. That said that what youve just pointed out , what youve just pointed out, the way in which Police Officers are treated, after theyve been involved in a situation where theyve had to resort to their training, you know, this has come to a light recently. Weve come to a light recently. Weve got a trial that were all awaiting the outcome of. Yes, with with the officer that shot chris kaba, and yes, i mean, normally. So 19 or 19, which is the central firearms command, that not only train every firearms officer in the met, but also supply the armed response vehicle, the specialist firearms teams. Normally on a typical yean teams. Normally on a typical year, theyll get something in the region of about 250 applicants. When they ask people to apply six, six, six. Thats all theyve got. And also theres a lot of officers who are armed who are trying to get out of frontline , proactive out of frontline, proactive armed policing to go to safer what they perceive to be safer, roles such as close protection. And this is partly because of how we treat our Police Officers who have had to fire their weapons. Just just lastly, if you would i know that you have had a pretty torrid time of it being raped through the system after you shot and killed an armed assailant. Yeah yeah. So. So i shot someone, rather foolishly, i suppose. Literally about 100 days before i was due to retire at the end of my 30 years service. And then i faced a criminal charge of murder at the old bailey, ten years after. The old bailey, ten years after. So. So seven years after i had retired and ten years after the incident, so, you know, thats not typical, but investigations that dont necessarily result in charges. I mean, i can think of two officers specifically now whose investigation took something in the region of six years, when they went to court , years, when they went to court, the Crown Prosecution Service offered no evidence. And now theyre awaiting gross misconduct things for when the judge actually commended them at court for their courage. And now court for their courage. And now theyre awaiting, you know, misconduct. So the way in which officers are treated, it always almost seems to me that certain politicians and certainly the iopc , as a whole seem to think iopc, as a whole seem to think that if a Police Officer discharges their firearm , they discharges their firearm, they have in some way done something wrong simply by virtue of the fact that theyve pulled the trigger. No Police Officer wants to pull the trigger. Its one of those things that you train to do that you hope you you will never have to do. But people forget that theyve been trained to do that. Yeah, and it seems that, you know, it seems completely perverse and it can hang over their heads or hung over your head for ten years before that was brought. Absolutely. Absolutely. It hasnt affected me. No, im all right there. Well, tony long, thank you so much for coming in, sharing your story. But also commenting on this, this really horrific event in london today. I should mention that you were also the author of a book , lethal force, author of a book, lethal force, all about this subject. Highly, highly recommended. Now coming up, were going to be talking about the nhs and its constitution. Yes, a proposed reform to the constitution of the nhs to talk about biological sex. Well be diving into that next. Good evening. Its 7 20, and youre watching and listening to farage with me. Tom harwood. Now, did you know that the nhs has a constitution . Well, it does, and the constitution provides various rights for patients. People who use the patients. People who use the nhs. In 2010, this was updated to include the importance of the ability of people within the nhs. Patients to choose whether theyre on a male or female ward. This was a sex based right that was introduced to the nhs, but now its being updated and the language is being changed, but not in the way that language is usually changed when it comes to our health service. No, its being changed to include the importance of what the government call biological sex. So instead of the sort of pamphlets that weve seen often in emphasising the importance of something called chest feeding rather than breast feeding, no , rather than breast feeding, no, this is language going back in the other direction, at least thats the proposal for the constitution of the nhs. But constitution of the nhs. But lets talk through it now. Im joined by sharon davies, the womens rights campaigner and former Olympic Games swimmer sharon. Thank you for making the time this evening, usually when we see language being updated in documents to do with the nhs, its going in the other direction , it depends on what direction, it depends on what you call the other direction. I think this is all about fact and truth. So the front page of the telegraph today says that biological sex is a fact. Now, biological sex is a fact. Now, biological sex is a fact. You biological sex is a fact. You know, there are only male and females. There are only two gametes, a large and a small. And human beings cannot change their sex. So its not kind to anybody to tell Young Children in particular that that isnt the case. So i think we just have to be honest. And in things like medicine where its really important that we are checking a male for Prostate Cancer and were checking a female for cervical or Ovarian Cancer , that cervical or Ovarian Cancer, that we know that you know, what sex people actually are. And people actually are. And obviously in Something Like sport, you know, you mentioned that im a you a feminist campa
