00:00So, first of all, you'll understand, given this is a live police investigation, I'm very limited in what I can
00:05say, and counter-terrorism policing will take the lead on keeping the public updated as much as we can, as
00:12fast as we can.
00:13But let me just say something that maybe counter-terrorism police won't say, which is how exemplary the counter-terrorism
00:21policing operation has been, how proud I am of our security services for the work they do every single day.
00:27And I hope that arrests, when they do take place, send a very strong deterrence to anyone who might be
00:36tempted to or coerced into conducting acts of espionage against the UK, our interests or our allies.
00:44You will be caught, you will be detected and you will face the full force of the law.
00:49And I say that without prejudice to a particular case, but we have seen arrests on both sides of the
00:56Atlantic, and it is really important that we keep in mind that both in the UK, in the United States,
01:05we have strong intelligence and policing operations who work in lockstep to keep our countries safe, and I'm very proud
01:12of them for the work they do.
