00:00Well we've just reached this ceasefire which is both welcome and I think there'll be a sense of
00:04real relief for certain years across the region and for the United Kingdom. But there's work
00:10to do and I'm here in Saudi Arabia and neighbouring countries now to carry out that work in support
00:16of what we're all seeking which is that this ceasefire should be not a temporary ceasefire
00:21but a permanent ceasefire. On top of that we have to acknowledge that this war was now war
00:28but my job is to protect the UK. It's already had an impact on the UK and it's very important
00:33we get
00:34the Strait of Hormuz open. There's a lot of work to do there. We've been convening a number of
00:38countries. I now get the opportunity here in Saudi Arabia and countries nearby in the region to have
00:45the discussions to coordinate our actions and to go forward collectively in pursuit of those two missions.
