* Weapons recovered from people on the streets of Hampshire.
A tenth man was arrested in Welling over the weekend following the brutal murder, on the streets of woolwich, of a serving soldier.
Drummer Lee Rigby was attacked, killed and decapitated by two men on Wednesday last week. While some of those arrested have been released on bail, two of the women are said to be released without charge.
Of the two men shot by police at the scene of the attack, one has now been released from hospital for questioning by the police, while the other is said to still be too ill to be released.
Over the weekend also, there was another reported stabbing incident and police were called to Wellington Street - not far from the scene of last week's attack, over which there is ongoing investigation.
Today, police issued another appeal for information. The appeal said "if you witnessed Rigby's attack or have any other information that can assist this investigation, please come forward and assist the police".
* Police.He reminded Londoners to remember the fact that London belongs to all of us and that we should work together for a safer better London.
Members of the English Defence League have also continued to protest over last weeks killing and a reported sum of money due to be given to the victim's favourite charity - The Help For Heroes, whose shirt he was wearing at the time of the attack.
Sympathisers have also continued to visit the scene of the attack to drop flowers and pay their respects to the dead soldier, just as his Army colleagues have paid their respects.
As expected, the mountain of flowers continue to climb. Yesterday, I saw two ladies who told me they had to wait to get paid before going to drop their own flowers.
* F.a.K.e (Fire Arms and Knife Education) Canopy.Correspondingly, in a separate sporting event on Sunday, in Aldershot, Hampshire, Police put up their `F.a.K.e Canopy' and used the opportunity to educate the public on the dangers of carrying weapons while walking the streets.
The Hampshire constabulary gave interviews at Gurkha Cup 2013 event, explaining, highlighting and answering questions on the dangers of carrying harmful weapons around - and what happens to those caught carrying such weapons on the streets.
I asked the officer why they were displaying such weapons openly in the face of the recent incident in Woolwich, and he explained to me that statistically, more people die of their own weapons, because when they try to use it, their target uses it against them.
* Police officer speaking to a media crew.There were knives of various sizes, from kitchen knives to Machetes and swords. There were also guns of assorted sizes and makes. From short pistols to semi-authomatic machine guns. Some of the guns are real, while others are air pistols. Nevertheless, police say, both real and fake will be recovered, if seen with anyone on the street. He said "anyone found with or caught carrying dangerous weapons or its replica on the street, is liable for arrest".
Police said all weapons on display were recovered from individuals on the streets of Hampshire County. And while some of them are fake, majority of them are real weapons.
Their were assorted weapons, recovered in such circumstances.
* Can you tell the difference?And while some may argue that air pistols are not deadly, he said that even air pistols are dangerous, and will be recovered, if seen on anyone on the street.
In turn, the officer asked if I was able to identify the real ones from the mix. Hardly an easy task.
