00:00Well you've seen an incredibly swift and publicly visible response from the new
00:04government to the disorder that we have seen. I think that is important and I
00:07think it is necessary. Yes there is sufficient capacity in the prison system
00:11because of decisions that were made in the early days of the new government. We
00:15have seen I think 780 arrests, 350 people charged already and there will be more
00:21to come and it will be the case that people will face the full force of the law.
