The O2 Academy Brixton has pledged to make its doors "more secure" as it fights to stay open after a deadly crush in December last year.

The south London venue was temporarily stripped of its licence after security guard Gaby Hutchinson, 23, and Rebecca Ikumelo, 33, were killed at the venue.

Fans without tickets tried to force their way into a show by Nigerian artist Asake.

Its future is being decided by Lambeth Council's licensing subcommittee.

It is holding a two-day hearing to determine whether the venue is safe for use.
