The boy was attacked in the Tulse Hill area last night.

He’s the 119th victim of a violent death in the capital this year.

Rev Richard Dormandy from Holy Trinity Church in Tulse Hill told Premier people in the community are struggling to come to terms with what happened.

Speaking on The News Hour, Rev Dormandy explained: “People are just in shock really because one minute one of your friends is there and the next minute, he’s not.

“That just leaves you in a state of shock – you don’t really know how to respond.”

The latest victim of London’s current wave of violence was found unconscious in the street in Tulse Hill late on Monday night.

Paramedics were unable to save him and he was pronounced dead shortly before midnight.

Rev Dormandy told Premier there are a number of reasons people decide to carry weapons.

He explained: “People do carry knives in the mistaken belief that it’s going to help them in a time of need. It won’t help them – it might actually lead them to murder someone.

“We know that the police are developing strategies to address the criminality and several youth organisations and other community organisations – many of them Christian and church-based – are also addressing the needs of young people.”

The late gospel singer’s estate and film producers said on Monday that Amazing Grace would air on November 12 at the DOC NYC film festival in New York City, with the full support of Franklin’s estate.

The film, largely shot by Sydney Pollack, captures Franklin’s performance at the New Temple Missionary Baptist Church in Los Angeles’ Watts neighbourhood in January 1972.

The music from the two performances was released as a landmark double live album in 1972. But Pollack’s footage proved virtually impossible to edit because the filmmaker failed to sync the sound.

After acquiring the film’s rights from Pollack in 2007, producer Alan Elliott brought in a team to construct the film, which Elliott calls “a labour of love”.

“Aretha’s fans will be enthralled by every moment of the film as her genius, her devotion to God and her spirit are present in every frame,” he said in a statement.

Franklin first sued Elliott in 2011 for planning to release the film without her permission.

Amazing Grace nearly saw the light of day in 2015, but it was yanked at the last minute from the Telluride and Toronto film festivals after Franklin’s lawyers obtained an injunction against its release.

They argued the film was “the functional equivalent of replaying an entire Aretha Franklin concert”, and could not be screened without her consent.

The debt-counselling charity welcomed news an energy price cap on gas and electricity tariffs will come into force on 1st January 2019 but said vulnerable customers on pre-payment meters required extra help.

Social policy and relationship manager, Rachel Gregory said: “It also is a rational for going one step further again and looking at how we can really help people that can’t afford their energy bills, even with this price cap…”

CAP said extra help for households needing to pay for their energy upfront was a priority in their discussions with suppliers, the regulator Ofgem and the Government.

Rachel Gregory added: “It’s not necessarily one single silver bullet; which is why we’re having loads of conversations… about a full range of packages of support…”

Ofgem said eleven million households will save up to £120 each when the new cap on standard variable tariffs comes in effect next year – saving customers around £1 billion collectively.

The regulatory body said the cap will initially be set at £1,137 per year for a typical dual fuel customer paying by direct debit – saving households around £76 per year on average.

Citizens Advice says the price cap…

That means 80 per cent of congregations are involved in one or more forms of social action.

The biggest area of work is in food banks – with 60 per cent, or nearly 8,000 churches – involved in either running or supporting food banks through volunteers, donations and providing venues.

Nearly a third of Church of England churches run or support parent and toddler groups; just over a quarter lunch clubs; and 22 per cent, community cafes. Holiday clubs and breakfast clubs, often providing meals to children from low income families, are supported or run by nearly 17 per cent of churches.

The Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, said: “From food banks to debt counselling and lunch clubs to language classes, these figures spell out for the first time the sheer scale and range of our churches’ commitment to their communities.

“We are doing more to love and help people in need than at any time since 1945.

“We don’t just do this to be ‘nice’ but because our faith in Jesus Christ compels us to act.”

The Bishop of Rochester, Rt Rev James Langstaff told Premier: “We have a great many projects, debt advice projects, foodbanks, initiatives in dementia care, initiatives around fostering and adoption – promoting those opportunities, a whole range of things.

“At one level it’s good news, but it’s also deeply worrying that we are having to do this, but it’s in our DNA, it’s what we…
