:02:21. > :02:35.As if it needed pointing out, the batter -- Bataclan. Words in Paris
:02:36. > :02:39.were clearly harder to find. For months, Paris has been bombing
:02:40. > :02:43.Syria, now for vengeance as well. TRANSLATION: We will intensify our

:03:02. > :03:05.Hollande to strike Isil in Syria and it is my firm conviction that
:03:06. > :03:08.Britain should also do so. Sending our planes to bomb so-called Islamic
:03:09. > :03:13.state in Syria would be the first action of what one Cabinet minister
:03:14. > :03:17.described as a new military phase. More planes, more troops ready to go
:03:18. > :03:21.and more interventions around the world potentially. This, from the
:03:22. > :03:29.same Prime Minister whose last defence review led to this, RAF
:03:30. > :03:34.Nimrod scrapped, smashed up, put beyond use. Today, though, promise
:03:35. > :03:39.of the case for strikes in Syria this Thursday and more modern forces
:03:40. > :03:43.for years to come. The threats we face today go beyond this evil death
:03:44. > :03:48.cult. From the crisis in Ukraine, to the risks of cyber attacks and
:03:49. > :03:53.pandemics. The world is more dangerous and uncertain today than
:03:54. > :03:58.even five years ago. While every government must choose how to spend
:03:59. > :04:00.the money it has available, every penny of which is hard earned by
:04:01. > :04:04.taxpayers, this government has taken a clear decision to invest in our
:04:05. > :04:09.security and safeguard our prosperity. How will he apply
:04:10. > :04:12.lessons learnt in Libya, Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere, to
:04:13. > :04:18.Britain's role in the escalating war in Iraq and Syria, to ensure that
:04:19. > :04:22.further disastrous mistakes are voided? Britain does need strong

:04:31. > :04:34.humanitarian and peacekeeping missions. Questions Downing Street
:04:35. > :04:38.will try to answer, as they make the case. In Syria. There is growing
:04:39. > :04:41.confidence behind the gates that ministers are more likely to get the
:04:42. > :04:46.support they need to start bombing Syria. But today is also about a new
:04:47. > :04:52.assertiveness of the Ministry of Defence and with that extra cash.
:04:53. > :04:57.But more spending their means budgets elsewhere will be even
:04:58. > :05:00.tighter. And thousands of Ministry of Defence staff will lose their
:05:01. > :05:04.jobs. As part of billions of pounds of efficiency savings. Otherwise
:05:05. > :05:08.known as cuts. Under this Prime Minister, we have seen a decimation

:05:14. > :05:16.operations, there has been a disproportionate cuts to units and
:05:17. > :05:22.manpower. Tory ministers promised an Army super best -- super base in
:05:23. > :05:28.West Lothian and doubling army numbers in Scotland. Instead, that
:05:29. > :05:30.was dropped. The government hopes British planes can join these French
:05:31. > :05:33.flyers setting off for Syria. In their words, ministers want to
:05:34. > :05:36.project our values around the world. In other words, to protect and
:05:37. > :05:39.intervene where they see fit. So as we've been hearing, the
:05:40. > :05:42.Prime Minister has been outlining the Government's plans for defence
:05:43. > :05:45.spending for the next five years. There'll be an extra ?12 billion
:05:46. > :05:50.for equipment, a new fleet of maritime patrol aircraft and
:05:51. > :05:53.two rapid-reaction brigades by 2025. He also confirmed

:07:10. > :07:14.an extra ?12 billion for equipment. Bringing the total over
:07:15. > :07:16.the next decade to ?178 billion. Out of that, the RAF will be getting
