A major Hollywood celebrity is calling for the UK to protect knives.

Actor Idris Elba has launched a campaign called "Don't Stop Your Future", urging the UK government to ban machetes and serrated "zombie knives" in an effort to reduce knife crime. Elba argues that although stop-and-search powers help police tackle knife crime, they do not eradicate the issue from UK streets. He has also called for more funding in youth services and the release of a song called "Knives Down" to address serious youth violence.
