00:00We are working night and day to make sure that that ceasefire continues, that it is durable
00:07and above all that we make sure the Straits of Hormuz are open because that is at the heart of
00:13this. We know the impact on people's cost of living if the Straits of Hormuz is not open and
00:20we can't get those goods through. That is what the Prime Minister is focused on. He held a meeting
00:25with President Macron and I think it's 50 countries this week. It builds on what the
00:30Foreign Secretary did, meeting with 40 companies. She spent the whole weekend talking to her
00:35Middle East counterparts, including Pakistan, which as you know is playing a really important
00:40role in this because we are determined to make sure that that ceasefire holds and lasts,
00:44that we get the Straits of Hormuz open so that the British people, you know, we can actually
00:50deal with that cost of living crisis because that is what most people are concerned about.
