00:00good morning good morning and thank you for being here power strong allies and
00:11assured diplomacy and as the threat grows as i speak a russian spy ship the yantar
00:19is on the edge of uk waters north of scotland having entered the uk's wider waters over the
00:25last few weeks this is a vessel designed for gathering intelligence and mapping our undersea
00:33cables we deployed a royal navy frigate and raf p8 planes to monitor and track this vessel's every
00:42move during which the yantar directed lasers at our pilots that russian action is deeply dangerous
00:51and this is the second time this year that this ship the yantar has deployed to uk waters
00:59so my message to russia and to putin is this we see you we know what you're doing
01:07and if the yantar travels south this week we are ready is already boosting british industry
01:14british jobs british communities i have changed the navy's rules of engagement so that we can
01:22follow more closely monitor more closely the activities of the yantar when it's in our wider
01:32waters we have military options ready should the yantar should the yantar change course
01:42to fix our health service to strengthen our defense we're delivering the change
01:49the concern security prosperity we build it here in britain but we must also innovate
01:57because technology is changing the nature of warfare now faster than at any time in human history
02:04so alongside the heavy metal of planes ships munitions we will accelerate the power of drones
02:12of ai of autonomy so that we give our british armed forces the advantage on the battlefield
02:18so that's why later today i'll be in plymouth opening a new helsing factory where they make sea
02:25and undersea drones thank you all thank you very much and to those of you who
