Tesco chief Dave Lewis has said he is not happy with the "significant" numbers in today's full-year results in which the supermarket reported record losses of £6.38bn.

In a video discussing the latest figures alongside finance chief Alan Stewart, created by Tesco, when asked what's gone wrong, Lewis said the numbers were " significant" and not "numbers we're happy with at all".

"First and foremost what these numbers represent is the crystallisation of the relatively poor trading position of the business over a little while, not just in the last months of the year."

Watch Lewis and Stewart discuss the figures below.
