LONDON, August 6, 2010 - In a video interview with financial broadcaster www.cantos.com,
CEO Stephen Hester discusses the bank's half-year performance and underlines
the progress made in its core business as well as the progress it's making
disposing of some of it non-core assets..

He gives a stout defence of the company's lending record to business and
highlights the importance of having a diversified retail and investment
banking business. Whilst conceding there is still a lot to do to restore the
fortunes of the business and the people's trust in it, he says there's a
simple story emerging of the core bank getting stronger by the day.
