The Southport attack has prompted the UK to toughen up the laws on buying knives as the killer awaits sentencing.
Under new legislation, anyone buying a knife online will be required to submit two forms of ID and record a live video proving their age.
UK correspondent Enda Brady says Prime Minister Keir Starmer has observed what needed to be changed - as the looser restrictions likely enabled the killer in the first place.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right to internet. A corresponders a name that Brady
(00:02):
joins us. Hello, Inda, Hello Andrew.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Good to speak to you again.
Speaker 1 (00:05):
I'd be very nostatic moment. But when I lived in
the UK back in nineteen ninety, one of the big
concerns at the time was the rise and rise of
knife crimes. And here we are in twenty twenty five
and more knife crimes. Who got that, South Tech, of course,
And so now they're going to have another Creckitt trying
to crack down a knife crime with new laws.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
Yes, so he's being sentenced today. Axel Rude Cubana, eighteen
years of age, has pleaded guilty to three murders last
summer in Southport. For anyone who doesn't remember that, it
was a little little girls basically party day for a
Taylor Swift Team dance class, and this guy turned up
with a knife and started randomly attacking seven and eight
(00:48):
year old girls and three of them were murdered, several
other injured. Appalling, and then obviously people take the social
media fired up by certain tech billionaires and we had
riots for several nights on street of many English towns
and cities. Well, today he will be sentenced, So he
will be going to prison. I'm guessing for life or
multiple life sentences. Clear Starmer has ordered a public inquiry.
(01:10):
And what's becoming clear about this guy, Ruder Cabana is
that he was found with a knife on ten previous occasions.
He was kicked out of schools for watching violent material
on school computers. There were multiple, multiple chances to stop
this guy. So anyway, in terms of solving knife crime,
Starmer's big idea is that from now on you will
(01:31):
not be able to buy knives online without ID. You
will have looad a document like a passport or a
driving license, and in addition to that, you will have
to upload a video of you talking so that the
retailer can see who you are. But quite frankly, how
people are able to buy and they're not know when
you say a knife, these are machetes. Some of these
young guys are carrying well and zombie knives.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
Will there be differentiation between you know, I just want
appearing knife, Okay, yeah, this is of course military style knives,
hunting knives and the shitties.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
Yes, yeah, yeah, it'll be. It'd be for all knives
bought online. There will be obviously this new regulation, but
it's it's becoming because the UK is so tight on
gun crime, criminals and anyone who wants to hurt someone
has no prospect of getting hold of a gun whatsoever,
So they all carry knives. And people are making an
awful of money out of this, the big online retailers
(02:26):
who I'm not going to name check, the most prominent
one is where this guy bought his knife front So
this this should have been done decades ago.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
Are you still in Davos?
Speaker 2 (02:37):
I am Guten Morgan from Davos. I'm high in the
Swiss Alps and we're just making our way in now.
And I say, in about ten kilometers there will be
the usual police cordon where they stop and check everyone.
And in you go to mix with the global elites
and the billionaires and staggering who you see in the streets.
Just the last couple of days, I was going live
(02:57):
on TV yesterday Anti Arty World and Antonio Guterres walk
right past me. The UN Secretary General Mark Rutta from NATO.
You see, all these people had the good fortune to
get in. And here Zelenski speak the other day, what
a powerful speaker he is.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
And Donald Trump's going to have a speech.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
He will be joining online tonight, so he's been twice
previously in person when he was president first time round.
He is not going to be there tonight, but he
is the biggest shadow over the whole summit this week
because obviously what he says, what he wants to do,
will impact all of these countries and all of their citizens.
(03:36):
So he's dialing in at five pm Swiss time. Where
are we now, We're coming up to seven am in
the morning here, so everyone will be watching and waiting
in ten hours time to see what Donald Trump says
and how big a deal he makes of tarifs.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
Okay, and Ednie Jones our favorite Australian rugby coach, gosh,
we love him. Who got a job for a while
Eveland and help destroy that scene as well. I'm sorry anyway,
he's still got a job within rugby. What's he up to?
Speaker 2 (04:05):
Well? Well, as we say in Ireland, come home, agent Jones,
your work is done. He has landed a job with ITV.
So this is the terrestrial British broadcaster. They show all
of the six nations rugby games, so he will be
commentating and analyzing, believe it or not, England's performances. Now
he left England under a cloudy Steve Borthwick is their
(04:28):
coach and manager. Now clearly there's a bit of beef
between the two of them. England are not going to
do anything this year from everything I've been hearing from
people in the training camp. They have injuries, they have problems,
morale is quite low and they head to Dublin next weekend.
So good luck with that. We have won two six
nations on the spin, we will win a third and
(04:49):
it's gonna be as Donald Trump will say, it's going
to be beautiful.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Yea, it is. That's quite good. That's quite good. But
of course you're obviously biased, typical bias media because you
infect Irish, so you know, well, I don't believe you,
So I'm going to go goodbye.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
