00:00Britain's military leaders are warning that armed forces training and operations could be reduced
00:06unless more funding is made available in the years ahead. The Chief of the Defence Staff says
00:12day-to-day budgets support exercises, readiness and operational activity, and argues those areas
00:18will come under pressure without changes to current plans. The warning follows the resignation of the
00:24former Defence Secretary, who said proposed investment would not meet growing security
00:29challenges. The government says defence spending is rising, while the new Defence Secretary reviews
00:36priorities before a delayed long-term investment plan is published for the future of military
00:41capability and readiness.
