00:00Mr. President, thank you very much for those words, thank you for the invitation to be

00:07back here just two months after our last meeting here, and it's really important with great

00:20allies, that special relationship, to have this time to talk about the great issues you

00:26discussed, starting of course with Ukraine, where I think the next few weeks and months

00:32could be crucial, very, very important for Ukraine in this vital war of freedom, and

00:40so I look forward to discussing that with you.

00:43The Middle East, of course, again, vital in the coming weeks and months, and elsewhere

00:48in the world.

00:49I think that historically we've shown the strength of our relationship, that we are

00:54strategically aligned, we have common cause on these global issues, and therefore it's

00:59very important for us to have this opportunity to talk them through, not just as a matter

01:05of tactics, but also the wider strategy that underpins them, so thank you for the invitation,

01:09it's very good to be here again.

01:11What do you say to Vladimir Putin's threat of war, Mr. President?
