Over in Australia, Victorian police say they've seized a record number of knives and machetes this year, amid growing concerns about knife crime.
Police say at least 15,000 knives, machetes and zombie knives had been taken off the streets and destroyed so far in 2025.
Australian correspondent Oliver Peterson says there's been a targeted push to get rid of bladed weapons, especially following the recent machete ban.
