00:00The COBRA meeting was to coordinate our response to the disorder and I made it
00:06very clear on a number of occasions that those involved will feel the full force
00:11of the law. So we coordinated, we went through some of the numbers, over 400
00:16people now have been arrested, a hundred have been charged, some in relation to
00:21online activity and a number of them are already in court and I'm now expecting
00:26substantive sentencing before the end of this week. That should send a very
00:31powerful message to anybody involved either directly or online that you are
00:37likely to be dealt with within a week and that nobody but nobody should be
00:42involved themselves in this disorder.
