00:07and you should know that any attempt to damage them will not be tolerated and will have serious consequences.
00:17This also reminds us why the seabed matters, especially for Britain.
00:23We're an island nation. Connection is everything, for our economy and for our security.
00:30And beneath our waters lies a vast network of cables and pipelines on which our way of life depends.
00:37Half the gas that heats our homes, 99% of international telecoms and data traffic, trillions of pounds of global
00:44trade each day.
00:46And for all the reasons that make the seabed matter so much to us are the reasons that make it
00:53the prime target for our adversaries.
00:57The UK's undersea network is highly resilient but the threats are increasing and so we're stepping up our action to
01:04defend it.
