00:00 The attacks by Houthi rebels on commercial shipping are totally unacceptable and unjustified
00:05 and the attack on a British ship HMS Diamond and its service personnel could not go unanswered.
00:12 We support military action against the Houthis. I hope this has sent a very strong message
00:18 that Britain will always act in our own national defence and certainly a Labour
00:22 government would act without hesitation to defend Britain's defence and security.
