Idris Elba: Why I want 'zombie' knives banned now
Available for over a year
Idris Elba is calling on the government to immediately ban the sale of so-called "zombie" knives and machetes, to reduce the number of young people losing their lives. The Hackney-born actor says a planned law change to bring in the ban needs to be fast-tracked, and he's accused politicians of not giving the issue "the focus it deserves". The government said it remains "committed to further intervention measures". Idris Elba has been speaking to the Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ's Amol Rajan. (Image credit: Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ News)
