00:00It's a very serious matter and our heart should go out to all the victims of child sexual abuse
00:05from whatever area. But I do think we need to implement the recommendations of the independent
00:11inquiry chaired by Professor Alexis Jay, that's what she said herself today. The last Conservative
00:18government failed to implement any of those recommendations and I want to see a timeline
00:23from the new Labour government. We've got to implement them, that's how we protect and do
00:29service to all the victims of this appalling child sexual abuse. I think anyone who wants
00:34to serve in a foreign government commenting on our affairs should be very careful and when it
00:43comes to these comments I think the government should call in the US ambassador. The US ambassador
00:49should make it clear both to the current White House and the present elect that anyone who is
00:55working in a senior level in any American government needs to be very careful about
01:01how they comment on UK affairs, whether they're the richest man in the world or anyone else.
