57:30Now Playing📢 Coming up on The UK Tonight with Sarah-Jane Mee:
Idris Elba has said the start date for the government's zombie knife ban is "far too long away" and called for additional support for community groups tackling knife crime.

🔴 NHS consultants have narrowly rejected a pay offer from the government - meaning long-running strike action could continue
