In Streatham, in Peckham and yesterday in Clapham.
It's a tragic rollcall and it begs the questions why is this happening and what can the police, government and society do to curb what seems to be an increasing spiral of violence.
Whatever your point of view OR your experience on this issue we hope you'll join us for the latest news and the debate on where we go from here.
Alastair's in Clapham and he'll be speaking to the Mayor's director of policing and equalities, Lee Jasper, and Deputy Assistant Commissioner Cressida Dick. We'll also hear from Richard Blackwood, now a celebrity but once just another young man growing up in Clapham, he takes us back to the haunts of HIS childhood and looks at what's changed in the intervening years.
Glen Goodman will have a full report on yesterday's tragedy and Ronke Phillips will be looking at gang culture and how it can be controlled.
Also....
The Congestion Charge countdown continues...as do our special reports. Today Liz Wickham looks at the effects the expansion of the zone will have on local businesses. We've also the latest on the 2012 Olympic budget...it's a story that's going to run and run (appropriate really) and we'll be running with it. We've also got the first of some fantastic reports all the way from the Arctic. We're joining Emily Thornberry - MP for Islington and Finsbury - as she takes an up-close look at climate change, and makes friends with some huskies.
It's going to be a very busy programme - join us at 6 and we'll share the latest
Tamzin and Alastair
