 Now Britain's Sajid Javed says his priority is to oversee a return to normal after the COVID-19 pandemic in his new role as health minister, praising his predecessor, Matt Hancock, who was forced to resign after breaking coronavirus restrictions. UK Prime Minister Burns Johnson, who has faced down criticism of various candles, including the funding of the refurbishment of his apartment in Downing Street, stood by his health minister initially. He accepted Hancock's resignation on Saturday but suggested he might return to a higher public role. He then swiftly appointed former finance minister, Sajid Javed, to the role. I was honored to take up this position. I also know that it comes with huge responsibility and I will do everything I can to make sure that I deliver for the people of this great country. We are still in a pandemic and I want to see that come to an end as soon as possible and that will be my most immediate priority to see that we can return to normal as soon and as quickly as possible. And I've got a lot of work to do. I'm sure you appreciate that and if you can excuse me I'd like to get on with it. Thank you very much. So you get notified about fresh news updates.
