00:00 Reflecting overnight just makes you think what an incredibly brave man this was.

00:05 His life revealed so much about the true nature of Putin's ghastly regime

00:11 and his death has revealed that all over again, what we're actually dealing with.

00:16 There should be consequences when appalling human rights outrages like this take place.

00:22 What we do is we look at whether there are individual people that are responsible

00:26 and whether there are individual measures and actions that we can take.

00:30 We don't announce them in advance so I can't say any more than that

00:33 but that's what we'll be looking at.

00:35 Of course we've already summoned the ambassador

00:37 and we've made clear our views about this dreadful event and the way this person was treated.

00:41 And of course being here in Munich means that I'm going to be meeting with G7 colleagues,

00:46 other foreign ministers and we'll have the discussions with them.

00:49 I'm clear we'll be taking action and I would urge others to do the same.
