in europe people are taking to the streets to protest the lack of transparency in treaty negotiations such as the t.t. ip treaty with the us and the cedar treaty with canada. the use of arbitration tribunals a central and totally opaque part of these treaties is a serious threat to the future of democracies. giuliani considered 1431 i cannot acknowledge your bark or a dog on a cross bigger canada may. be a very. limited nationalism but also god is going to get it on the non-therapeutic tiny little boy lonia block the signing of the free to. agreement with canada

12:33 pm
done. to attract foreign investors euro promise canada that it would integrate the international arbitration system called dns into the treaty. the cornerstone of the system is the deterrent effect for states when a complaint is made. when a state nationalized is a business it seizes property and the state then compensates for this expropriation . but if the state raises the minimum wage or passes an entry g.m. or prohibits disruptors it can affect a company's gains. this is an indirect expose creation since it's a loss of earnings. sufficient grounds for suing
12:34 pm
a state before a private international arbitration tribunals. that becker screwed up in the process it's a good idea most of us want to stay on my demands for press. plus some targeted at the demand on the high commanders on the myth that having the problems going for people are. not just as mucking up by. a real scandal. this interact expose creation written into the sea to and other treaties opens up a real pandora's box. complaints against government measures that bother investors are likely to increase. arbitration tribunals are a massive deterrent to the state. in his article it's also says that it is that. there him again isn't he saw him again is the glue that is assume it drew to hide behind his as we don't seem to get his
12:35 pm
big idea suki get to know the gong and. skivvies the specs is a good thing. that you like us to take on that is to add that back in the data sets itself in disguise if i have bought a. new news i want to take him on this will only hope that is doing the gift. by example. as his is enough if you know that is the simple way to deal with it politically she says we're going to hold human was that they give us. the. gift of at all ok no. it don't even have one and if it destroys you to hate you more this will be and given the. no token so matter of one example does it. do sums your dog. in this. if i'm on the film and i saw most of the sea between

hopefully would you consider deserve to be safe i mean does it. make its move for tech a visit to see me. there on the brink of a massive expansion of the role of the rest of 2 us. so what happens when we introduce a couple of new traders like santa and the other big one is the trans-pacific partnership promoters advised yes have long like to say well we already have 2 or 3000 of these trainees what's a couple more teams that combine with a c. and the pain takes us from still having a minority role in the world to be calming and establishments of the institution why the foreign investors have their most powerful right at the international level of any private charter in the world most people think about trade they think about
12:37 pm
goods and services being a strange between countries and the investment component the investment chomped or a trade agreement is about something very different is about establishing a special system of international protection for foreign owned. p. diddy's you see that is the. it could be a new leak over who even the thoughts now do think you know is he going to use them he still missing c now xenia do you see 20 you know he can see anything. do you believe the folks who would want peace and will exist to commit them if we don't have all the. on their level of people. going to support. these you don't believe. they live on less than a security i'm naive but they live with us. you know and i think if you think that
12:38 pm
they're involved that they live or last saw something for luke and you know. they also vision. are larry going to give you a piece on what that's a good. day on the. defense minister of an on going economy just trying to find songs they put out as well i would say only for. goodness of i think you are also not at all. in these arbitration. multinationals impose their will most often in great secrecy. secrecy is not only an obstacle in forming citizens it is the keystone of the whole system allowing for the most shameful arrangements. for this is what happened in germany when the swedish multinational vattenfall a large energy producer indirectly attacked the city of hamburg in 2009.
12:39 pm
complaint against the federal state that remained secret for years and was unveiled thanks to a professor of international law marcus kind of. tradition are secret because no one prevents the parties from the go see it or anything and then in the public hearing they will say whatever they say but the real negotiations will take place outside. in 2007 vattenfall obtained a building permit for a coal fired power station in the suburbs of hamburg. following the 2008 elections and to petition the elected green party review the permit. the discharge of hot water into the elbe to cool turbines threatens the aquatic fauna vattenfall would have to comply with. anti-pollution measures.
12:40 pm
and how did vattenfall react by immediately filing a complaint before an arbitration tribunals demanding 1400000000 euros in compensation under pressure germany secretly negotiated with fall intil 2011 and suddenly one day the case was closed we only know at the end that they reached a settlement i listen this is very important the only publicly available information is that they said that. end of the story i am marcus k.f.c. scrutinize the tribunals decision. it mentions a mysterious compromise between vattenfall and hamburg signed in a local court. and so that's what i said well if they reached
12:41 pm
a settlement in front of the best accord in front of them this is a piece of information that i can request and the federal government refused. but the city of hamburg sent it to. the city gave a new permit which is less restrictive than the op and that's the 2nd. button flooded one bunny button followed wanted a change in the prompt and that's what they got. as unbelievable as it may sound hundreds of green party didn't impose the environmental standards that it considered just. i can just imagine the conversation that took place between the federal government of germany and the city of hamburg so the federal government said well look we signed this treaty we are bound by this internationally germany has international obligations and you have to fulfill that we can't you cannot become a break international law i mean this is also a powerful argument especially in democracies especially in countries like germany
12:42 pm
but all over the world. even germany is caught in the trap of its treaties and gives in to blackmail. in total secrecy the state signed an agreement on march 11th 2011. that same day japan suffered the worst earthquake in its history. the fukushima disaster shook the planet and especially germany. pressured by a 50 year old's anti nuclear movement and following protests in 450 cities across
12:43 pm
the country until a miracle was compounds who act. she moved to abandon nuclear power with maturity suppose. anything ya plans and then. to me. in. the name quotation of. easy kinda can in any. venue can consequences. and. you know that counted in the.
12:44 pm
media a reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe. community. are you going the right way or are you being. in a world corrupted you need to. and. so join us in the depths. in the shallows. seemed wrong why don't we all just all. the world to get to shape
12:45 pm
our just because the ticket and in detroit because the trails. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. the chancellor's decision became the 13th amendment of the law on atomic energy when it was voted in 4 months later. the 7 oldest german plants were immediately closed among them those the bottle and which also belong to the swedish multinational vattenfall.
12:46 pm
immediately vattenfall challenge the legitimacy of the nuclear law at the constitutional court of calls with the highest court of justice in germany. but as a foreign investor vattenfall can also a tad germany in a private arbitration court. it had already won once it could and would try again in may 2012 it filed a new complaint in arbitration. the child takes place in washington although it essentially concerns europe. good morning i'll bring a. number of a rb shlash 12th rushed. in a mental retreat in long haul a.b. i ask lehmann and the federal republic of germany as response in the interest of
12:47 pm
transparency it is being streamed so that also the public. versus state settlement is about. to greet. its president is supreme. the arbitrator is. sweet. the beano conrad defends those of germany compensation claims for a 1000000000 years. as a consequence of the 13th amendment claimants lost their production licenses for the criminal plant and for the and plant there was simply withdrawn. the dispute does not concern germany's right as such face of nuclear energy rather this dispute concerns the manner in which german has chosen to implement its face of
12:48 pm
decision and its failure to probe to protect claimants investments in particular concerns germany's failure to pay any compensation at all. the heart and so most in those protection treaties is to provide protection against expropriation . difficulty however when we talk about indirect expropriation is to draw the line between expropriation on the one. and legitimate government who measures on the other. and there is no easy way to draw these lines and make this distinction. so of course one could say that the protection that in the esters enjoy under the treaty is influence how and walked the state regulates. doesn't matter if a parliament has adopted a role in the most democratic way. it can still violate international
12:49 pm
purgation stop the state has undertaken in the international treaty. it is for each individual state to decide whether or not they want to sign such treaties germany is trying to do in this arbitration is tricks ploy to fukushima disaster. to create a narrative that would excuse its wrong. you can put perfume on it but the border guards here is that the international peace treaty govern this dispute. legally germany cannot challenge the ratified treaty. but the swedish giant failed to meet its obligations. it did not repair its damaged power plants a great danger for the population. claimants now see compensation for their own business failure billions for plants which were not tarrie is for their problems but apparently in. reality
12:50 pm
a burning transfer meter is totally normal as are bursting pipes also normal involved and soon of us are corroded barrels with radioactive waste. to follow have shown you a promotional video off the power plant in that video none of the events that are listed here on the site feature and plans but both of them have been standing still . not because. not because of the moratorium not because of the 13th amendment but because of a multitude of incidents. i'm pleased. to feel. kind smigel a nuclear physicist from greenpeace called as an expert witness took
12:51 pm
a close look at all the plans failures. expiate and. i did the same the same most. over the cables with the defeat of. a trade in history on the whole thing could be used in a few. so i fully clue. on this machine transform our thoughts to dollars and even. the machines and some of the how to see. early to be in. any big in this is an unknown my. doctor is guns the. root. it's a. gun it came from the feature link for me it is possible she only looked under the 'd name gun. discounting which. said wouldn't it if this were an
12:52 pm
infant book all through it. thus germany is in famine toward descriptions of fires quote unquote and pictures of corroded barrels quote unquote country but nothing to the ultimate determination as to whether in 2011 germany has admitted in this over trade that its decision to accelerate the face up was not based on concerns over safety of the nuclear power plants but mariner on an alleged change perception of the general risk that nuclear energy poses to the german population that is all politics. that involves lawyer is sheltering behind the law behind strict legal language is not to recognise the multi-nationals responsibility.
12:53 pm
what is very clear that this group of people or many of them have been educated in a particular way they are all educated in this particular way of looking at both international law as a sort of technical matter and at the same time thinking that giving companies as many vice and privileges will benefit the global economy. a lot changed in thinking about the consequences of their cases lawyers are trained in thinking about a way of by the more. there's all you frenched of it is and the french term is that . so this is what this really apply is you people think in a very very this case is very controversial and has generated much public debate now why is that because it's an arbitration which should never have been brought under the energy charter treaty and under the exit convention. the reason for it
12:54 pm
through the amendment. was different. actually and you are correct. that is correct. if that is a public perception. how would that do legally. into. the 1st man protection. and you know sure i make a number of assumptions i don't ask you to do anything but sure this would be because it is almost impossible hypothetical because you are. assuming that the public is wrong and the right or wrong some of the perception changes in the public how does that translate into legally introduce you to. and i was listening to of up and that's opening this morning. claiming that the thirteen's and meant and was a political decision and they've said it quite often i wonder when
12:55 pm
political has become such a dirty word. it comes from the greek political us which means relating to the people to the citizens to the state. and democracy is nothing if not political it is government of the people by the people for the people. it has to be political that's its definition and it's certainly not as he was. refusing any political or democratic consideration multinationals consider themselves outside politics and above the law but laws still exist. while vattenfall trial against germany is proceeding in washington the federal constitutional court in karlsruhe where the 1st complaint was lived give this
12:56 pm
judgement. the court declares that abandoning nuclear power conforms to the german constitution and that the companies affected will have to receive a financial compensation. if i come off to come to your home and when it is it's great to survive on trade schools mr there's foreman a cure your full sponsor for you and i come and talk to also distant cousins of us from here good to even also song on commision sometimes suitability sht industrial in the tradition for the not so garden for. the feet along and even ones of a foster mom that's involved in guns i'm not like it was all scare me i was going to move i just feel even in houston as often. it's in visalia. most appreciate it on the. country given the from.

the far. as he was cute didn't. just must confide in east insurance he says if i did need his communion and this has stopped so long it can also be humbled to be. in a key concern in love as opposed to his and his and. extend the sheets keep the heat. 20 feet on them in the spotlight as the shock and such for the woman of. 40000000 1st impression image all the better i don't know about a nice weeks in the few commas you need out in the oil or. it is up to the german government to set the amount of compensation to be validated by the bundestag. in an arbitration case it's very different.
12:58 pm
the amount of compensation is much higher and is set arbitrarily by business lawyers with no democratic legitimacy. a considerable portion of legal costs $4.00 to $10000000.00 is to be paid primarily by the state. we have with you i don't know maybe the union. just after they called the why do they have never been involved ready. that's why all that was. always how it was yeah yeah measures come on you have. all the measures. for that but more than. a dog industry comes to life in los angeles every night. dozens of women sells

abilities on the streets many of them under-age. los angeles police reveal a taste of the daily challenge if you're going to exploit for a child here in los angeles they were going to come out to see officers going undercover as 6 workers and customers to fight 6 trade.
1:00 pm
i was. welcome to see you k. we're currently waiting for the government state press conference on the coronavirus crisis we don't yet know who give it says by its prime minister boris johnson and health secretary not hung call cough being diagnosed with the virus while chief medical officer chris which he is self isolating after experiencing mild symptoms may well you know the news this hour. local doctors in northern ireland who want traditionally on the front line claim they're being forced to work in special virus centers risking cross infection to their local practices and families will be talking to an irish doctor. the
1:01 pm
u.k. police now have passed a fine and even arrest those breaching the lockdown that's as the public are encouraged to report their neighbors for holding mass gatherings but should they we have on both sides of the debate. and critics say it out of business leaders including step to shabbes. and without crossing to their governments press conference our michael gove will be giving today's press conference on the coronavirus says he. welcome everyone to the government's daily briefing i'm joined today by the chief executive of the n.h.s. simon stephens and the deputy chief medical officer jenny harrison i'd like to update you all on the facts on the spread of covered 19 and the steps that we are taking in the battle against the corona virus $113777.00 people have now been tested for the virus over those 14543 have tested positive an increase in the last day of
1:02 pm
$2885.00 the best scientific analysis now is that the rate of infection has been doubling every $3.00 to $4.00 days and over those who have contracted the virus 759 have sadly died of thoughts and prayers of the families of those who have passed away. these figures are a powerful reminder of the need for all of us to act we need to slow the spread of the virus and strengthen the n.h.s. his ability to protect us all. strict social distancing measures have been put in place to restrict the spread of covered 19 so fewer people should need hospital treatment at any one time the measures that we've put in place for the scientific and medical advice and are designed to reduce the rate of infection and as well as
1:03 pm
acting to slow the spread of the virus we're also acting to strengthen the n.h.s. we're expanding the number of beds available for new patients we're increasing the number of staff in our hospitals and we're also investing in life saving equipment for those with severe symptoms to give people the care they need when they need it most i'd like to thank all those involved in this effort to reinforce the frontline in the battle against the virus the military personnel who are helping to fit out a new hospital in east london and are helping to distribute personal protective equipment the amazing doctors nurses and support staff in our n.h.s. those in manufacturing who've risen to the challenge of producing new ventilators and the hundreds of thousands who volunteer to help in a new mobile ways this is a united national effort and the spirit of selflessness shown by so many is truly
1:04 pm
inspiring. and advise of course affects us all as you no doubt already aware the prime minister has coronavirus and is self isolating at home in downing street he began experiencing mild symptoms yesterday afternoon and was tested on the advice of england's chief medical officer professor chris witty the prime is to is continuing to lead the government's response to grin a virus chairing meetings and communicating with key members of his team through video conferencing and earlier today the promise to lead the effort in launching our latest front in the fight against covered 19. today i can announce that the prime minister has brought together businesses research institutes and universities in a new alliance to boost testing capacity for frontline workers increasing our testing capacity is absolutely crucial in our response to and our fight against corona virus this is a particular priority for those who work in the health and social care sector and
1:05 pm
are working so hard to keep us all safe this would be anti gen testing testing where the people currently have the disease so that our health and social care workers can have security in the knowledge that they are safe to return to work if the test is negative these tests will be trial for people on the front line starting immediately with hundreds take place by the end of the weekend dramatically scaling up next week and of course protecting our frontline workers is at the forefront of everyone's mind at the moment last night millions of people paid a fantastic tribute to the heroes and heroines of the n.h.s. when they stepped outside their front doors and clapped our carers and alongside those in health and social care i also want to thank those who work in food production and retail those who work for the royal mail and public transport our teachers and our social workers they all deserve our gratitude and having talked to trade union and business leaders civil servants and public spirited volunteers and
1:06 pm
of course ministers in the devolved administrations in scotland wales and northern ireland in recent days i want to record my admiration for the national solidarity being shown in the fight against this disease. and you just but continuing to follow the go to do to protect already teachers and to see lives to save lives michael gove's they're the chancellor of the duchy of lancaster giving the daily press briefing after the prime minister and the health secretary were earlier diagnosed with corona virus while r.t. shot to everest he joins me now with the latest so there shout out michael gove stepping in because as we've heard some key figures out of action absolutely michael gove really delivered a much less dramatic announcement than what we had this time last week of course last week very strong to announce the closures of pubs shops and restaurants today really michael gove reiterating what the government's line has been throughout the last 7 days of course we are now in a u.k. wide lockdown of michael gove really saying at this point the reason behind all of
1:07 pm
these government measures is because the rate of infection is doubling now all of us need to act he says and the idea behind the government's policies in announcements is to still did lay and suppress the peak of this virus so that the n.h.s. can cope he says the government has of course put in strict measures over the last week we know the measures have now even been enshrined in law as of yesterday meaning if any of the rules of lockdown measures are not abided by then the public could be faced with a penalty michael gove also said that the government is investing in lifesaving a quick meant to help the n.h.s. on the frontline an only a matter of the n.h.s. he paid a tribute to thank all of those that are risking their lives to tackle this crisis also paying attention to all of those people that are helping develop this london's x.l. centers new hospital the nightingale hospital which is due to open its doors as of next week and he also announced that together we are seeing
1:08 pm
a new alliance of businesses and operations coming together to try and put forward this measure of testing of course the key thing though today is that boris johnson has constructed 1000 alongside that. secretary matt both of them exhibiting mild symptoms of fever and a persistent cough both advised by the chief medical advisor to be tested and both testing positive now they're both in isolation boris johnson though 'd says he is well enough to keep working as usual and in charge of tackling the crisis he will stay within that position using technology rather than face to face meetings it's also understood the prime minister did chair as normal the covert 19 meeting this morning was also streaming in via video link but today it does seem to be getting from bad to worse as professor chris witty who is the chief medical officer has now also gone into self isolation after he says he is experiencing symptoms compatible
1:09 pm
with 19 as you can see on his screen the last meeting on friday boris johnson was with both the chief medical officer and the science officer not quite abiding by that to meet a social distancing but there are also other worries about who the prime minister has interacted with this close proximity just 2 days ago on wednesday of course he was hosting prime minister's questions an unusual set up quite unique whereby m.p.'s were engaging in a social distancing virus system of rotation but still many of which were in the chamber and crucially then last night the prime minister was joined by the charlton or richie soon out when they were both paying tribute to the n.h.s. staff in that clapped for carers campaign we understand the chancellor at this moment has not been tested nor has the government's chief advisor dominic cummings though we did see some footage of him earlier running out of downing street and shouted what about some of the latest figures that have been coming out as well well as michael gove just mentioned the latest figures we can show you them on
1:10 pm
screen they're quite staggering a near 15000 people have now contract it the virus with 759 deaths recorded to date in the united kingdom the last 2. 4 hours though saw the highest spike since the outbreak began the problem is though just 115 people have 115000 people sorry have been tested and it's this issue that is causing the most control to see many are wondering whether or not the government can actually cope many argue that the government is not obtaining the level of kit's that other countries have most people at this stage would agree though that it's perfectly understandable for boris johnson and those are key government levels to access tests but the realize exactly is that medical staff on the frontline do not have access many in fact are rather angry that those on the frontline of the crisis are not being adequately treated or protected so for now for boris johnson he is not quite stepping back from the action he's not quite stepping back from leading the
1:11 pm
government's response to coronavirus however dominic rob the foreign secretary is standing waiting on the wings ready to step in if he's needed to step up to the plate but just as a reminder then earlier this month the house health minister nady and doris obviously contract that 19 at that time in westminster is seen as quite a shock but today clearly we're seeing that the pandemic is really moving through westminster yes it certainly is is a president who figures show you thank you very much indeed. well to discuss all of this i'm now joined by risk and disaster expert professor david alexander but that's only donna thank you very much indeed for joining us i mean this outbreak is unprecedented no one could prepare for this but how does the government plan for it . but i would dispute that no one can prepare for this speedy type of scenarios for this that existed for rather a long time in fact more than 10 years and they were pretty detailed scenarios
1:12 pm
where it is true that there's a great deal of variability in fund makes however it was fairly clear as to what is likely to happen in a pandemic to people to the economy and to the health service and therefore the government is currently learning very well very fast and so on it is frantically improvising the question is a big city with hindsight but nevertheless the question is how much critics are prepared before the event how much more critics are prepared before the event but maybe i should say been predicted for a while so why didn't the government listen. well the health service was based leaned down expenditure was being reduced in real terms there was a hostile immigration policy regarding foreign doctors and nurses and so on and it was therefore very different code to accumulate redundancy there is very little redundancy in the whole system but unfortunately in an emergency of this country
1:13 pm
dunder says exactly what you need to needed to stop part of the great many things where are the reports on this that tested that the economics of that were not direct or were requested not as world well how do other countries prepare and how other countries the bad better. to an extent they have it rather depends on how they're capable of doing of course sometime trees are prepared for worse than the current situation in brazil gives an example of that and until recently it wasn't too good in sweden either which is a country we normally look to as inspiration and however. the chinese response initially was very slow there was a normalcy bias that it didn't appear to be so bad and when it became so bad however they were extremely good at implementing the measures that were needed and we really did it very strong very firm very strong measures and a great deal of discipline deb's a discipline what about the low down professor many can't go on indefinitely can is
1:14 pm
. never a ton but on the other hand the whole idea of the lockdown is to try to get this pandemic under control so that we can slowly return to some semblance of normality however i would emphasise that it is perfectly possible that after the summer that the i resurgence of coronavirus and that we're not exactly back to square one but that we do confront more problems associated with this pandemic and finally professor alexander if the whole cabinet gets coronavirus we're in trouble our way . well not too much so because many of the decisions are actually made in concert by the leading experts and they are the people in charge of the various services and passed up to the prime minister or his delegate of the prime minister therefore has to ratify the decision and communicate it to the public but the decision is attractively made at lower levels there is a chain of command and there is also delegations such that if various people fall
1:15 pm
ill others can take over and not is well articulated in britain the present plans are in place professor david alexander thank you for joining us it's a pleasure. so to come a sound. local doctors in northern onyx claim their health is at risk by being forced to work in emergency virus centers we hear from one of the doctors.
1:16 pm
join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking together for the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then. welcome back specialist don't just ignore the nodding trade they're being forced to
1:17 pm
work in special coronavirus centers which pose a greater risk than usual to their health. the medical practitioners in question don't treat patients on the front line and aren't even employed by the health service called g.p.'s or general practitioners they usually act as local doctors or refer people for more urgent medicine and emergency care but the doctors say a letter from northern ireland's department of health implies they're forced to work in them the plan will not protect routine g.p. services because doctors will be coming and going between practices and covert 19 centers several times a week by forcing us to work in these centers they are exposing us to viral overload there is much greater risk of death not just for us but for our families but it comes as the number of those confirmed with the virus in northern ireland reaches 275 with 13 people now having died however the british medical association says the centers are in line with w.h.o.
1:18 pm
guidelines and that shifts at the center are voluntary. before on this issue are now joined by community dr john kelley dr kelly thank you for joining us i mean it is normal for all doctors to be asked to step up in this time of national crisis isn't it that. 'd i think the vast majority of general practitioners that are in the united kingdom are still not. majority g.p.'s are are going to be working in these corporate centers well wouldn't most doctors want to work on the front line and even j. pace. what we have a responsibility to our kitchens these are on press attempts at times and we are working and different ways that the way i am working today is completely different to the way i was working 23 months ago we have a responsibility to deliver the best possible care to our patients that we possibly can call that sampras was set up with input from the general practice from the
1:19 pm
british medical association and the royal college of general christian jewish interests here in northern ireland and i believe the offer very good service to deliver care to our patients but in terms of some of the complaints we've heard from the doctors is it more about the tone of the letter that was sent to the effect of the strong arming g.p.s. into service absolutely i think there are genuine zionism concerns this time mainly related to personal protection equipment not a lot of work is being done or encouraged to piece on the b.m.a. 'd to ensure there is adequate proper person protection. these centers set agendas until sheens are been seeing properly if iraq proper flow through these these centers and the proper doesn't faction afterwards that is something that i can offer as it's usually in my own surgery so i think this is an
1:20 pm
entirely useful way of managing these patients dr kelly hit the nail on the head i mean it's the lack of protective gear that's the problem is that if that was solved and testing were available would it make a big difference. i think that would a lay 'd the concerns of our selves are not their health professional and care workers it is very important that we have proper protection not only for ourselves but to protect our kitchens you do not want doctors or nurses our health care professionals transparently virus one patient to the next and you don't want doctors and nurses to be off sick from prompt here it's a sign in the way the service will fail. testing will be extremely useful and i welcome the announcement earlier from michael gove this is promised to us i think these things were legal concerns and i'll only centers to work effectively in dayton fine just one quick question i mean j.p.
1:21 pm
