FRESH STABBING IN LONDON AS CRIME ROW GROWS

London's seen its fourth killing in three days - taking the total number of homicides this year in the British capital to 57.

That's actually lower than the total this time last year, but there's a growing row about how to deal with knife and gang crime.

Over the weekend, US President Donald Trump again criticised London Mayor Sadiq Khan over the issue despite London having a far lower homicide rate than many American cities.

Mr Khan says tackling violent crime is his highest priority.

But former Deputy Mayor Stephen Greenhalgh says he's not doing enough.
