00:20Liverpool stands together and the whole country stands with Liverpool. I'd like to thank the

00:26first responders who did a fantastic job last night and continue to do so. There's now an

00:31ongoing investigation. I'm being kept updated talking frequently to the Mayor Steve Rotherham

00:41today. In this case the police named the ethnicity and nationality of the person arrested in association

00:49with the incident. Is this what you want to see in future in similar cases? Well that is a matter

00:55for the police and the investigation is ongoing so I think we need to leave that to them.
