have given some sort of risk assessment and we have let the public be aware of this because it's unclassified and exact the same way we fought so hard to and content strategy and classified so people can see. the same way we've always almost every publication to try to and sometimes it's been actually difficult to do that so they can see the working so they can tackle these issues and the local resilience can sit down with local money or whatever and look at what the priority should be and take some action. and i believe we have tried to tackle this. that is absolutely right which is produced another than the second one has, this week? is it right? i would not be complacent, i don't think it is. i think more work will need to be done. we do are rising skancke mystically. we do horizon scanning looking at foreign policy and external issues, and do we draw on that to try to do these risk assessors. i think we're done quite well if you look at the graph reproduced first i look at this, it's not too bad. >> just one quick follow-up. i won't argue. the problem is when people's anxieties are concer

the agencies worked really hard to try to enter, they could get stuff down to effectively unclassified. it was really nip and tuck to do it. we made a point of doing that. in the same way the national risk register. we really try. i take your point. we really tried to do this, to get this out. home secretary i think is right on the other point. the other thing with the change and the threat alert status, and though the apparent threat are a whole tapestry of other others, all of which slightly changed for certain public buildings, for certain areas, all of that all changes which is all unseen, of course. so that's the of aspect. >> thank you. smack following on what lord fellowes has said, you can give out confidential information, i think both you and home secretary and lord west accept the current situation is not absolutely perfect. because the public will be worried when the threat is raise. and they don't know what more is expected of them. i welcome the fact that you are both looking at this to see how you can reassure the public. that's very helpful. can i just ask on, in terms

and in either unclassified way or with senior government officials who will, in effect, declassify it for you. i know that has happened to me in a couple instances where, you know, somebody way down in the trenches leaked us something, and i couldn't go with it, and i worked may way up the chain and got to a senior intel official and they completely laid it out for us. sometimes in the hope of getting us to not run the story, but other times just to make sure we got it right. the other risk when you are dealing with classified information is in the world of intelligence and in the world of espionage and all, it is so hard so, you know, get through the smoke and find the fire and realize who is being manipulated , if you are being used, if it is the quality of the intelligence to begin with. it is all very tricky. we spend a lot of time, months, years, two years, trying to varify things. months, year, two years trying to verify inks. and the networks who are the people who all of the news business, you know, they don't want to, you know, if you're accused of violating national security
