00:00I think it's really important that we maintain high alert. I've obviously been here at the
00:04control room of the Met looking at what's essentially the nerve centre, but my message
00:10to the police and all of those that are charged with responding to disorder is maintain that
00:16high alert. I'm absolutely convinced that having the police officers in place these last few days
00:22in the right places, the swift justice that's being dispensed in our courts have had a real
00:28impact, but we have to stay on high alert going into this weekend because we absolutely have to
00:34make sure that our communities are safe and secure and feel safe and secure.
