JOURNALIST:

Prime Minister, your reaction to seeing Ground Zero first hand.

PRIME MINISTER:

It’s very said, it’s very bleak. It’s overwhelming and I’m filled with admiration for men and women, many of whom have worked here since the 11th of September and I think they are people the whole world admires. It’s terrible work and they’ve got great spirit.
