The first one is not a problem as it is small and looks quite nice, it has
very small white flowers.


If it is what it looks like to my imperfect eyes, it IS a big problem
if you don't get rid of it quickly. It looks like hairy bitter cress
which is pretty, edible, and popsits seeds all over everywhere. Try
to pull them out as soon as you see the flowers, before the seed sets.

No 2 could be shepherds purse; if so, also needs getting rid of.

I'd go with hairy bitter cress or similar for the first. The second pair
of pictures look like one of the willowherbs - not rose bay because that
has shine leaves, but perhaps Great willowherb. Pretty, but a pain to
get rid of when you've got too much of it, and your neighbours won't
thank you for letting it seed.
