00:00At this time of year when Jewish people across the world are commemorating Yom Kippur,
00:06it's incredibly worrying we've seen this awful attack on a synagogue in Manchester.
00:12I've been in contact with the Mayor of Manchester, Andy Burnham, with the Home Secretary and with the police.
00:19The Met Police Service will be stepping up high visibility policing in and around synagogues in London.
00:24I know, as it is, Jewish people have been scared and feeling scared over the last few months, indeed since October the 7th, 2023.
00:35I also know many want to go to the synagogue and worship.
00:39I want to reassure them that in London they will be seeing additional police officers.
00:44People should be allowed to go about and practice their faith, knowing they're going to be safe.
00:50Unfortunately too many Jewish Londoners, Jewish people across the country, Jewish people across the globe don't feel that way and that's heartbreaking.
