A man is in a south London hospital after being shot.

Armed police and other officers were called to reports of gunshots in Turnham Road, Lewisham, at about 19:40 last night, but no victims were found at the scene.

The Metropolitan Police then said they were called to a hospital just before 21:00 after a man, thought to be in his early 20s, self-presented with a gunshot wound.

He is in a stable condition and his injuries are not believed to be life-threatening.

The Met said officers are trying to establish whether the incidents are linked.

There have been no arrests.

The victim, 25, was found wounded in Tufnell Park and died at the scene.

Detectives are appealing for help to trace the driver of a silver Mercedes who deliberately drove into a group of pedestrians in north-west London.

An 11-year-old girl and a 20-year-old man were injured in the incident in The Mall, Harrrow, on the afternoon of 4 September.

PC Kimberley Pawson said:“Our investigation so far has led us to believe that the suspect deliberately drove his car and mounted the pavement hitting and injuring two innocent pedestrians.

"We would like to hear from anyone who might have been walking or driving nearby and may have seen something.

“Maybe a neighbour or someone you know has damage to their Mercedes and are being vague about the reason for the damage; or maybe you work in a garage and have recently repaired a silver Mercedes with some unusual damage.

"If you have any information, please call us as soon as possible.”

A new study reveals that wasps are largely disliked by the public, whereas bees are highly appreciated.

The researchers involved say that this view is unfair because wasps are just as ecologically useful as bees.

The scientists suggest a public relations campaign to restore the wasps' battered image.

The problem, according to Dr Seirian Sumner, of University College London, who led the research, is that wasps have had a bad press.
