???? 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.

Two weeks ago, the actor launched a campaign focused on youth violence and began lobbying for so-called zombie knives and machetes to be banned immediately.

The ban is now set to happen - but the law won't come into effect until September

Also on tonight's show:

???? The families of the three victims killed by Valdo Calocane in Nottingham have spoken out after a judge ordered he be detained at a high-security hospital "very probably" for the rest of his life.

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