00:00Well, I'm very proud of the fact that the work of our police, our counter-terrorism police and our security
00:06services is recognised and appreciated by the United States of America.
00:11I'm limited in what I can say in relation to this incident at this time, but I do think we
00:19can praise them for their work, thank members of the public for their vigilance,
00:22and also the forbearance of residents near RAF Fairford who've had to leave their homes temporarily while we deal with
00:30this situation.
00:31And as soon as we can report further to the public on the identities of these individuals and their aims
00:37and motivations, we will.
00:39In the meantime, I think it's good for people not to speculate and to bear with me as I restrict
00:45my remarks to let the police continue their work.
