David Cameron pledges to do everything possible to protect community

David Cameron has reassured Jewish leaders of Britain's ability to protect the community following the terror attacks in Paris.

At a meeting in Downing Street this morning he told them the government was doing everything possible to ensure organisations and charities were properly engaged with police and security services.

"We have to recognise that in a modern democracy you can never protect every threat, but we should do everything we can and be as vigilant as we can to help reassure," Mr Cameron said.

He said Britain's security services were very capable but accepted that there was always more to learn in terms of tackling the threat posed by extremists.
