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 Âé¶¹Éç's Amol Rajan. (Image credit: Âé¶¹Éç News)
