00:12much pride in our communities, pride in who we are as a country, pride, of course, in the places that
00:20we all come from, everyone has got a pride about where they come from,
00:24and that real sense of making sure that we do integrate and we're one country standing together, particularly at a
00:31time like this, and that we bear down on extremism and division, because it's very important all the time to
00:38do that, it's particularly important at the moment.
00:41And so that's what we're doing as we turn into this week. So I think what you'll see is the

00:55This will be happening across all countries, really, and really to reassure you about the work the government is doing
01:00to get ahead of that and to monitor the risk, assess the risk and work with others across our own
01:07government,
01:07but actually with other countries. Part of the response at a time like this has to be constantly talking to
01:13leaders in other countries, particularly in the region, but also across Europe.
