00:00Yes, let me address that, because, as I said a moment ago, we started pre-deploying to the region in
00:07January and February,
00:08particularly to Cyprus and Qatar, and that was fighter jets, air defense missiles, advanced radar, and anti-drone systems.
00:20Now, we did that during the course of eight or so weeks.
00:25We did that in conjunction with the U.S. and with our allies,
00:28and we continue to bolster the capability that we have there to keep our people safe.
00:34So, there's been a lot of pre-planning gone into this, a lot of pre-deployment that's gone into this,
00:38and I'm satisfied that we can keep our people safe, and we're working very hard to make sure that wherever
00:45people have registered their presence,
00:46we can help them with the information that they need and the support they need,
00:50and get them back to the United Kingdom as quickly and as safely as possible.
