00:00I do understand that this causes huge and very deep-seated anxiety and we have to be

00:07really clear about the fact that these attacks, this hatred cannot be tolerated here or anywhere

00:15else and that is something for all of us to fight from me and the government across the

00:25whole of the country. There are measures that we are taking as a government in relation to legislation,

00:32in relation to demonstrations, the work we're able to do on security, although the answer to this

00:37can't be just building up ever higher walls around our synagogues. There is work that we've already

00:43done on antisemitism in health, in education, in schools as well as universities, I'm sad to say.
