00:00 October 7th attacks in Israel. We've seen protests across our country almost every weekend.
00:05 Many of these have been respectful but there have also been far too many appalling examples
00:11 of anti-semitism, violent intimidation and the glorification of terrorism. This must not stand.
00:18 I've asked the police what powers they need to bring order to our streets.
00:23 As a result today we are setting out measures that will ban fireworks and flares that
00:29 intimidate communities and have put our police officers in hospital, stop people from being able
00:35 to climb on our sacred war memorials and stop people from covering their faces to conceal their
00:41 identity and evade arrest. Those who abuse their freedom to protest undermine public safety and
00:49 our democratic values and I will give police the powers they need to crack down on this intimidating
00:55 and appalling behaviour.
