00:00Okay, Daily Mail today suggesting Sakhir has accepted at least £76,000 of freebies, including
00:06the Royal Box at Wimbledon, hospitality at a Coldplay concert, Arsenal away games with
00:12the Foreign Secretary in tow. The list goes on. How does that align with the son of a
00:17toolmaker, man of a people image?
00:20Well, I think he's an Arsenal fan. I mean, it takes all sorts, I suppose.
00:25But we only know about this because these things have been registered as appropriate.
00:33And I think the Prime Minister had his say on that yesterday when he was in Italy. I'm
00:38here in Berlin. We're trying to deal with things.
00:40Yeah, we'll come to that. As I said, Dame Andrew, if you don't mind, I just want to
00:43clarify this to start with, if I may, he's taken £76,000 worth of freebies. He's going
