00:00So our plans on defence and defence spending and our commitment to the election well predated
00:05Donald Trump's election and we make that commitment because we must increase defence spending
00:11to meet the rising threats that we face and in terms of Donald Trump's leadership now
00:17of America, America has always been and the UK has been with America the closest security
00:25ally and this is a relationship with a special depth that has lasted decades and we will
00:31work with President Trump to reinforce that because we're stronger together when we meet
00:37those threats together. This is a long term contract over the next eight years, it'll
00:43create an extra thousand jobs, 200 apprentices a year and it is part of demonstrating that
00:50defence is the engine that helps drive economic growth in this Britain. Good for businesses,
00:56good for jobs, good for our nuclear deterrent which gives us the hard power manufactured
01:02here to help keep the country safe. Will you ask how I responded to the court sentencing
01:09and the court reports and quite honestly I struggle to catch my breath when I read those
01:14reports with the savagery and the horror of the attack. He killed Bebe and Alice and
01:21Elsie but he would have killed all 26 young girls in that dance group if he could. The
01:27judge has sentenced him to 52 years, we respect that ruling. The judge has also made it clear
01:33that he doesn't expect him to come out of prison and I for one would hope to see him
01:38stay in prison for the rest of his life. Well in this case it's important also to note that
01:44the scope for the court to impose a whole life sentence is restricted by the age threshold
01:54and the last government did reduce to 18 which is part of international law that threshold
02:02in recent years because the Manchester Arena bomber was too young to qualify. That still
02:08stands but on the other changes that may be required to our laws, to our agencies that
02:15miss the chances to stop this man or the programmes that are there to try and prevent atrocities
02:21like this the Prime Minister has said very clearly no changes are off the table.
