00:00 I share the shock and the anger that many are feeling when they saw the clips over the weekend.
00:06 And you know what I would say about Mark Rowley and the police, they do have a difficult job, of course I appreciate that,
00:13 but what happened was clearly wrong and it's right that they've apologised for that.
00:19 And yes, I do have confidence in him, but that's on the basis that he works to rebuild the confidence and trust
00:25 of not just the Jewish community, but the wider public, particularly people in London, but more broadly.
00:32 And you regain that trust and that confidence by making it clear that the police are not tolerating behaviour
00:39 that we would all collectively deem unacceptable when we see it, because it undermines our values,
00:45 and I think that is critical. And I know the Home Secretary will be meeting the Commissioner later today.
