INCREASED SECURITY ON UK TRANSPORT NETWORK AFTER STABBINGS

There's an increased security presence on the UK's transport network on Monday after a mass stabbing on a train on Saturday.

Former Metropolitan Police officer Andy Hayman says it's difficult to increase daily security in response to an incident like this.
