00:05and therefore we're going to have to go back to the deal and revise it to address the concerns
00:12that President Trump and his administration have. And what every government and every Prime
00:18Minister since Boris Johnson has been trying to do is to get a diplomatic treaty agreed
00:24that settles the status of our base at Diego Garcia and the vital security capability it
00:33provides to our country in the United States for the longer term. We will only do that through
00:37negotiation but as President Trump's latest and they're only his latest comments on this
00:42underscore is that there is more to do and so it is back to working through the detail with the
