00:00 There's a lot more to do. Only 100 days in. Better get off to my debate.
00:04 I'm just off from my first debate in the House of Lords after 100 days as Foreign Secretary.
00:12 My team set me the challenge to see if I could say all the things that I think we've done in the last 100 days since becoming Foreign Secretary.
00:18 Well, I've made 36 different visits to 26 different countries.
00:22 I've spoken at 8 different multilateral gatherings like the G20, the G7.
00:27 We've helped Ukraine with the first security guarantee. We've helped them export grain properly through the Black Sea.
00:33 We've moved to arguing for a pause in a ceasefire in Gaza.
00:37 We're also the country that's done the most to talk about the bottlenecks in aid and getting aid in.
00:41 We've flown aid into Gaza together with the Jordanians.
00:46 I've visited the Balkans where we're investing in countries that need stability like Kosovo.
00:52 And of course we're working across the government. We're one government with one team.
00:55 So I'm working with the Department of Trade to get trade deals done, including in India and the Gulf Cooperation Council.
01:02 We're working with the Home Office to make sure we return people to their countries that have no right to be here,
01:07 like failed asylum seekers and foreign national offenders stuck in our prisons.
01:11 And of course I'm working with the Ministry of Defence to make sure we really do ramp up the defence production
01:17 that Ukraine needs and that we're going to need in a more dangerous world.
01:20 We've done all those things, but there's a lot more to do.
01:23 Only 100 days in. Better get off to my debate.
