Minister for development and Africa, Andrew Mitchell, has told Kay Burley "we will do everything we can, and I mean everything, to get our British citizens out".

He said that the UK has a "specific duty of care" to diplomats and their families, adding that they were in "acute danger" due to fighting all around the embassy.

Mr Mitchell added: "Our attention, as it has always been in the last week since we went into 24/7 crisis mode on the situation, has been to facilitate the exit of our own citizens as soon as it is safe to do so."

Asked when that will be, he said: "I cannot answer that question. All I can tell you is that every single option is being explored in detail, and the moment that it is possible to change the travel advice and move them, we will."
