Welcome to Wales Today. Our top story: A hospital pays out �5

:00:10.:00:12.

million compensation for serious medical errors which left a girl

:00:12.:00:22.
:00:22.:00:28.

with severe brain damage. Our other headlines tonight: The

:00:29.:00:33.

fight to tackle TB in cattle. The UK Government paves the way for

:00:33.:00:43.

culling badgers in parts of England. In Wales, that plan is on hold.

:00:43.:00:48.

the science set to go ahead with this, would you do it? If it

:00:48.:00:53.

clearly short that the best thing was a cull of badgers, of course

:00:53.:00:58.

that is what we would do. Also tonight: Face to face, the

:00:58.:01:01.

boss of the coastguard service explains to protestors why he wants

:01:01.:01:04.

to close Swansea. Why the rising price of scrap metal

:01:04.:01:07.

means the theft of manhole covers, statues and even rubbish bins

:01:07.:01:11.

doubles. And, after scaling the highest peak

:01:11.:01:14.

on every continent, it is welcome home for former Welsh rugby

:01:14.:01:24.
:01:24.:01:25.

Good evening. A girl from Pontyclun left with severe brain damage

:01:25.:01:27.

following serious medical errors during her birth will receive

:01:27.:01:33.

damages equivalent to almost five million pounds over her lifetime.

:01:33.:01:35.

Abertawe Bro Morgannwg University Health Board apologised to Sophie

:01:35.:01:41.

Clarke's family for the failures during her mothers labour. Our

:01:41.:01:49.

reporter is in the newsroom. Sophie Clarke was born at the

:01:49.:01:59.
:01:59.:02:02.

Princess of Wales Hospital in Bridgend 12 years ago. According to

:02:02.:02:05.

the family's law firm, before she was born hospital staff failed to

:02:05.:02:08.

notice that she had an abnormal heart rate, which meant she should

:02:08.:02:11.

have been delivered earlier. As a result, staff did not intervene and

:02:11.:02:13.

let the birth progress naturally. Oxygen starvation caused Sophie to

:02:13.:02:20.

have cerebral palsy. It's meant that she is entirely immobile, will

:02:21.:02:23.

be wheelchair-dependent for life and has to be fed through a gastro

:02:24.:02:26.

tube. Today, Abertawe Bro Morgannwg University Health Board agreed to

:02:26.:02:32.

pay almost �5 million over her lifetime. The board has reiterated

:02:32.:02:35.

its apologies for the failures in 1998 and has said since then

:02:35.:02:37.

systems, equipment, training and ways of working have significantly

:02:37.:02:39.

changed. What have the family said?

:02:39.:02:42.

The family has said while no amount of money will repair the damage

:02:43.:02:46.

done, they now have a chance to move on and focus on Sophie,

:02:46.:02:49.

ensuring that she gets as much out of life as possible and knowing

:02:49.:02:54.

that she will always be looked after is a huge relief for them.

:02:54.:02:56.

The funding will mean she can access 24-hour care, and

:02:56.:03:02.

rehabilitation and therapy services. The family are keen though to point

:03:02.:03:05.

out that the compensation is not seen as a lottery win but insurance

:03:05.:03:09.

that Sophie will be able have the care she's needs for the rest of

:03:09.:03:16.

her life. Significant developments today in

:03:16.:03:20.

the ongoing debate about how to tackle Tuberculosis in cattle. Live

:03:20.:03:28.

to the Royal Welsh Show in Llanelwedd and our reporter.

:03:28.:03:36.

I am surrounded by dairy cattle here. Many of the farmers who have

:03:36.:03:39.

brought their herds have been devastated in the past, by the

:03:39.:03:46.

affects of bovine TB. Big support here then for a cull of badgers. We

:03:46.:03:55.

know that's controversial. Last month, the Welsh Government put its

:03:55.:03:59.

plans for a cull on hold, pending a review of the scientific evidence.

:03:59.:04:02.

Lots of interest then in a decision today, paving the way to kill

:04:02.:04:06.

badgers in England. These are some of the best cattle

:04:06.:04:11.

in Britain, often worth a small fortune. They are pampered for the

:04:11.:04:13.

show, because winning also means more money and prestige for their

:04:13.:04:19.

owners. Cattle farming is big business. So, in Westminster this

:04:19.:04:21.

lunchtime, the UK's Environment Secretary announced that as 25,000

:04:21.:04:24.

cows with TB had been slaughtered in England last year, costing

:04:24.:04:34.
:04:34.:04:35.

farmers �90 million, badgers would be culled. I am strongly minded to

:04:35.:04:41.

allow controlled culling carried out by groups of farmers and

:04:41.:04:47.

landowners as part of a carefully let policy of badger control.

:04:48.:04:51.

will be consultation on the scheme which will start in pilot areas in

:04:51.:04:54.

South West England, but it will be up to farmers to apply for the

:04:54.:04:57.

licences. A cull in Wales, in north Pembrokeshire, had been approved,

:04:57.:05:00.

but the current government in Cardiff Bay has called for a review,

:05:00.:05:05.

and a report is expected in the autumn. If scientists say that a

:05:05.:05:09.

badger cull would decrease bovine tuberculosis, we did then announce

:05:09.:05:15.

a badger cull in Wales? The Kohl remains in place under the order

:05:15.:05:18.

that is in place. If the review says that you can do that and

:05:18.:05:23.

science supports it, would you do it? We will be led by science. It

:05:23.:05:28.

depends on what is said in the review. If the science says to go

:05:29.:05:36.

ahead with a badger cull, would you do it? If the review shows that the

:05:36.:05:41.

best way forward is clearly to cull badgers, we would do that. At the

:05:41.:05:43.

Royal Welsh, farming unions say they understand the frustration and

:05:44.:05:47.

anger felt by farmers. Many who say the review is no more than a

:05:47.:05:49.

delaying tactic to avoid what's bound to be a controversial

:05:50.:05:52.

decision Farmers throughout Wales have to test their cattle every

:05:52.:06:02.
:06:02.:06:05.

We have done everything we have been asked to do. Farmers here are

:06:05.:06:10.

understandably very frustrated. Farmers to ride Wales have to Testa

:06:10.:06:16.

cattle every year. -- throughout Wales have to test their cattle

:06:16.:06:19.

every year. Most of these cows tested for bovine tuberculosis on

:06:19.:06:22.

Aled Rees's farm near Newcastle Emlyn were clear. But three have

:06:22.:06:25.

larger than normal lumps on their necks and that means they all have

:06:25.:06:29.

to be tested again in 60 days. many times do we need to look at

:06:29.:06:33.

this? How many reviews do we need? The Assembly has thwarted twice for

:06:33.:06:43.
:06:43.:06:50.

it. -- has have thwarted twice for who want to protect their

:06:50.:06:51.

livelihoods, while animal rights campaigners will be dismayed by

:06:51.:06:54.

today's new policy in England. After the Badger Trust's successful

:06:54.:06:56.

appeal against the previous Welsh government's badger cull policy,

:06:56.:07:00.

another legal challenge in England is highly likely. We shall look at

:07:00.:07:08.

this proposal very carefully. The badger Trust are prepared to fight

:07:08.:07:13.

for in judicial review in Westminster, just as we have done

:07:13.:07:18.

in the Welsh Assembly Government. The central argument that's still

:07:18.:07:21.

being debated though, is whether it'd be more beneficial to cull or

:07:21.:07:23.

vaccinate badgers. The campaign group Pembrokshire Against the Cull

:07:23.:07:26.

are currently training volunteers to count the number of wild badgers

:07:26.:07:29.

in their sets, so they can help in any future vaccination schemes in

:07:29.:07:32.

Wales. We have been speaking to English

:07:32.:07:38.

farmers here today. They've welcomed the UK Government decision,

:07:38.:07:41.

saying it's a step in the right direction. Welsh farmers will have

:07:41.:07:44.

their eyes on the autumn, when that all important review comes out.

:07:44.:07:49.

More from us later. Back to you. It has been a dramatic day at

:07:49.:07:52.

Westminster, where MPs have been grilling those at the centre of the

:07:52.:08:00.

phone hacking scandal. Our Political Editor is there.

:08:00.:08:04.

It has been a very long day and one of tension. Hours of evidence has

:08:04.:08:10.

been heard from former top police officers, from Rebecca bricks and

:08:10.:08:17.

from James Murdoch and report board -- James Murdoch and Rupert Murdoch.

:08:17.:08:23.

Many people will remember today from this attack. Chris Bryant was

:08:23.:08:29.

in the room when it happened. Do you think many people will feel

:08:29.:08:38.

sorry for Rupert Murdoch tonight? It was a disposable act. --

:08:38.:08:43.

despicable act. No one should be treated like that, especially

:08:43.:08:49.

someone who is in their eighties. Rupert Murdoch said that he is not

:08:49.:08:53.

in touch at all. That has been the problem and the company. The News

:08:53.:08:58.

of the World was can put the out of control and nobody at the top of it

:08:58.:09:03.

has accepted responsibility for what went on. Hours of evidence.

:09:03.:09:06.

Have you one pecked the things that we know now that we did not know

:09:06.:09:11.

before? We know that News International had been put -- had

:09:11.:09:16.

been paying Glenn Mulcaire his legal fees. James Murdoch does not

:09:16.:09:22.

know if they are still paying his legal fees. The Assistant

:09:22.:09:27.

Commissioner told the head of David Cameron's office that he wanted to

:09:27.:09:33.

tell the Prime Minister about Neil Wallis being employed by the met

:09:33.:09:37.

but we heard that that would compromise the Prime Minister. We

:09:37.:09:43.

also know that the former deputy editor of the News of the World,

:09:43.:09:48.

whilst working for the Met, was also providing advice for the

:09:48.:09:57.

Conservative Party. There are some very a series -- there are some

:09:57.:10:02.

very serious problems now for the Prime Minister. I am keen that we

:10:02.:10:07.

focus on the criminality of the News of the World. We must clean up

:10:07.:10:11.

the terrible things that have happened to the family of Milly

:10:11.:10:20.

Dowler and others. That is the problem for now.

:10:20.:10:22.

Angry campaigners protesting against the planned closure of

:10:22.:10:25.

Swansea Coastguard Station have come face to face with the boss of

:10:25.:10:28.

the Maritime and Coastguard Agency, Sir Alan Massey. The UK Government

:10:28.:10:31.

announced the centre will close by 2015, while stations at Milford

:10:31.:10:36.

Haven and Holyhead will remain open. The decision to close Swansea

:10:36.:10:40.

caught campaigners by surprise. So, this morning, protestors were up

:10:40.:10:50.
:10:50.:10:52.

early hoping to catch the head of the agency on the back foot. The

:10:52.:10:54.

chief executive's scheduled 7am private meeting with staff was

:10:54.:10:59.

delayed as Alan Massey heard protestors concerns first. We would

:10:59.:11:07.

not taste -- and we would not take risks with lives. But you are. The

:11:07.:11:17.
:11:17.:11:17.

coastguard sate my brother. saved. Passionate pleas but it was

:11:17.:11:20.

the government decision last week which saw campaigners in Milford

:11:20.:11:22.

haven celebrating and left many in Swansea in Shock. This morning,

:11:22.:11:26.

Alan Massey admitted there had been an error in calculating the cost of

:11:26.:11:28.

closing Swansea and that's why it wasn't originally earmarked. We did

:11:28.:11:31.

not realise at the time that there are two separate leases. The lease

:11:31.:11:34.

on the station itself does not include reinstatement costs. We had

:11:34.:11:44.

made the wrong assumption that it did. The aerial site does. Last

:11:44.:11:46.

week's announcement saw Holyhead station being favoured instead of

:11:46.:11:50.

Liverpool after Welsh language concerns. While Milford Haven

:11:50.:11:52.

campaigned tirelessly and delivered a 20,000 strong petition to downing

:11:52.:12:01.

street. They won their fight. And with nearly 30 jobs at stake in

:12:01.:12:08.

Swansea campaigners aren't giving up. We have been so quiet in the

:12:08.:12:13.

beginning because we thought we were lucky to keep our station open.

:12:13.:12:17.

But we will fight all the way to keep our station opened. Swansea

:12:17.:12:25.

Coastguard Station is the busiest in Wales. That is why these

:12:25.:12:30.

protesters will not be staying quiet.

:12:30.:12:33.

The new leader of the Welsh Conservative group, in the assembly

:12:33.:12:36.

has announced two new posts, in his first shadow cabinet. Andrew RT

:12:36.:12:38.

Davies, has appointed a deputy leader and a shadow minister for

:12:38.:12:42.

North Wales in a cabinet of 13 members. Let's talk to our Welsh

:12:42.:12:44.

Affairs Editor. No great surprises. What you have

:12:44.:12:49.

to look at here is the fact that Andrew RT Davies only won the

:12:49.:12:52.

leadership very narrowly. If less than 100 people had voted

:12:52.:12:57.

differently, he would have lost. He had to make sure that there was no

:12:57.:13:01.

one sulking outside the tent. He had to reward people in other parts

:13:01.:13:05.

of the party who perhaps had not supported him during the leadership

:13:05.:13:08.

supported him during the leadership race. Let's have a look at those

:13:08.:13:18.

race. Let's have a look at those changes in detail. Paul Davies will

:13:18.:13:26.

now be the Deputy Leader and the shadow finance minister. Nick

:13:26.:13:35.

Ramsay was narrowly defeated for the leadership. Then two people who

:13:35.:13:40.

did not stand. Many people thought Angela Burns would have been a

:13:40.:13:50.
:13:50.:13:53.

strong candidate. Darren Millar is the assembly member who will get

:13:53.:13:56.

eight committee chairmanship. Big eight committee chairmanship. Big

:13:56.:14:02.

jobs relief for the heavy hitters around that Shadow Cabinet table.

:14:02.:14:12.
:14:12.:14:14.

have created the post of deputy leader. Darren Millar will be

:14:14.:14:20.

covering the social care or fall ill as well as hell. We have a

:14:21.:14:24.

wealth of knowledge in local government. The whole team is

:14:24.:14:27.

drawing on personal experience that many have outside of politics and I

:14:27.:14:31.

believe it will be a very valued team and vibrant team that will

:14:31.:14:35.

hold the government to account, develop policy and show the people

:14:35.:14:43.

For just a quick word about the independent commission that has

:14:43.:14:50.

been set up. We have just got some details but not much. We do not

:14:50.:14:56.

know who is on it or four will chair it. But we do know the

:14:56.:15:02.

timetable. It will start in autumn. It will end by autumn 10-12. Much

:15:02.:15:07.

more to come before 7 o'clock. He's scaled the highest mountain on

:15:07.:15:10.

every continent. Tonight, welcome home to former Welsh rugby

:15:10.:15:14.

international Richard Parks. A glorious flypast by a Lancaster

:15:14.:15:24.
:15:24.:15:26.

bomber in memory of a World War II Bronze plaques, manhole covers and

:15:26.:15:31.

even statues. We've reported the growing number of metal thefts. Now

:15:31.:15:34.

BBC Wales has obtained figures which show how much its costing

:15:34.:15:39.

councils to replace them. And at �680,000, it's double last year's

:15:39.:15:44.

figure. The Vale of Glamorgan had �80,000 of copper cable taken,

:15:44.:15:47.

Caerphilly spent �70,000 replacing bins and Swansea lost �50,000 in

:15:47.:15:56.

manhole covers. Rhondda Cynon Taf was one of the worst hit areas,

:15:56.:16:01.

from where Sian Lloyd reports. Police patrols in an area where

:16:01.:16:05.

metal thieves struck just last night. Over the past week, �5,000

:16:05.:16:09.

worth of manhole covers were stolen in Rhondda Cynon Taf in a spate of

:16:09.:16:15.

thefts. The latest on this industrial estate. It takes 24

:16:15.:16:18.

hours for a new cover to arrive and in the meantime a traffic cone

:16:19.:16:24.

covers the hole. But its not just manhole covers being stolen and the

:16:24.:16:34.
:16:34.:16:35.

cost to the council is mounting. About �250,000 worth of theft from

:16:35.:16:40.

cabling, manholes, Brita Burns. What are you doing to clamp down on

:16:40.:16:45.

the problem? We will be doing a joint exercise with the police to

:16:45.:16:49.

catch people stealing these. We are asking the public if they see

:16:49.:16:55.

anyone taking them, let us know. We had to shut the main road to

:16:55.:16:59.

Cardiff because the manhole covers had gone and we had to replace them.

:16:59.:17:02.

It's a problem faced by every local authority. We've already reported

:17:02.:17:05.

how thieves targeted this cemetery in Cardiff taking more than 50

:17:05.:17:08.

bronze memorial plaques from benches. In Pembrokeshire a local

:17:08.:17:10.

landmark disappeared from Neyland when the statue of Brunel was

:17:10.:17:13.

stolen from the quayside and near Wrexham lead was stolen from the

:17:13.:17:21.

roof at the George Edwards Hall. In Caerphilly, scores of bins have

:17:21.:17:25.

been replaced at a cost of �70,000, the scale of the problem has led to

:17:25.:17:35.
:17:35.:17:37.

a nationwide clampdown. Operation Ignite is led by Gwent Police.

:17:37.:17:41.

are working with local authorities, utilities and scrap metal dealers

:17:42.:17:47.

and we're looking at scrap-metal theft. It is a nationwide problem

:17:47.:17:51.

and has been on the increase because of the in case in scrap

:17:51.:17:56.

metal value. Since April, we have arrested more than 100 people on

:17:56.:18:01.

the operation. We are looking to reduce the crime and increase

:18:01.:18:05.

public safety. Many of the items stolen cost thousands to replace

:18:05.:18:09.

but their value often amounts to just a few pounds in scrap.

:18:09.:18:12.

It was one of Your Stories, blue badges for disabled parking, and

:18:12.:18:15.

many of you got in touch with your experiences. Today it's been

:18:15.:18:18.

announced that more people will be eligible for blue badges from

:18:18.:18:21.

August. Parents of children under three with specific medical

:18:21.:18:23.

conditions, people with disabilities in both arms, and

:18:23.:18:26.

severely injured members of the armed forces and veterans will now

:18:26.:18:34.

qualify. If you've got a story, email us at:

:18:34.:18:44.
:18:44.:19:01.

[email protected], or call Richard Parks is back home in Wales

:19:01.:19:07.

to celebrate his crack at breaking achievement. A special ceremony is

:19:07.:19:17.
:19:17.:19:36.

being held in Cardiff Bay tonight. This celebration has been laid on

:19:36.:19:40.

for Richard Parks. Hello, many congratulations on what you have

:19:40.:19:46.

achieved. How do you look back and reflect on it? With difficulty. It

:19:46.:19:52.

has not sunk in yet. I only arrived on Welsh soil this afternoon. The

:19:52.:19:58.

deception I had with the male voice choir and so many people coming out

:19:58.:20:03.

to support me, it has not sunk in yet. So many moments in your mind

:20:03.:20:10.

to remember, what are the most shocking moments. I know you had a

:20:10.:20:19.

field close scrapes. It has been a physical, mental and emotional

:20:19.:20:22.

roller-coaster though the last seven months. The lowest point of

:20:22.:20:29.

the challenge was developing frostbite while coming down Everest.

:20:29.:20:39.

I was able to continue. We fell into one of the worst crevasses on

:20:39.:20:43.

one of the mountains. It was difficult but we had a bit of luck

:20:43.:20:51.

on the way. I am glad to be back in one piece. What is your fault like

:20:51.:21:01.

and what damage heavy done to your toe? I developed Frost by --

:21:01.:21:06.

frostbite coming down from Everest. The whole challenge was thrown into

:21:06.:21:13.

doubt. But I had ended two weeks back home in Wales and I saw a

:21:13.:21:22.

number of consultant doctors and specialists. I had treatment in

:21:22.:21:25.

Swansea and luckily enough, it's healed enough that I was able to

:21:25.:21:33.

continue. Many congratulations. A fantastic achievement. That is it

:21:33.:21:39.

from Cardiff Bay this evening. Time to go back to the Royal Welsh Show.

:21:39.:21:43.

Welcome back to the Royal Welsh Show. Let me give you today's

:21:43.:21:45.

attendance figure. 61, 263 people have passed through the turnstiles,

:21:45.:21:48.

that's the second highest figure ever for a Tuesday, up 4,500 on

:21:48.:21:58.

last year. Earlier many of them gathered for a very special event.

:21:58.:22:01.

A Lancaster bomber performed a fly- past over the showground in memory

:22:01.:22:08.

of the former Royal Welsh treasurer, Dick Moseley. He'd fought as a

:22:08.:22:12.

teenager in World War II. Today his widow, Ellen, was here to see

:22:12.:22:19.

thousands of people salute his More than 7,000 Lancaster bombers

:22:19.:22:24.

took part in military operations in the past. Now, there are only two

skies once more. Ellen Moseley was a guest of honour for what she

:22:34.:22:44.
:22:44.:22:55.

described as a wonderful tribute to her late husband. The only thing I

wish is that he was here. It is very emotional. Dick Moseley was a

competitions now. Hundreds gathered around the cattle ring for the

:23:50.:23:54.

"team of five competition". Five animals compete as a team,

representing their breed, in a bid to find the best breed of all. This

year's winners were the British Blues.

:24:01.:24:05.

And here's another supreme champion for you. He's called Dyl, short for

Dylan. He's a Wiltshire Horn Ram from Newborough on Anglesey, a big

:24:09.:24:13.

winner in the sheep ring today. His owner's Will Edwards. Will, you're

:24:13.:24:22.

not a farmer, breeding these sheep is just your hobby? It is a passion.

:24:22.:24:30.

My father and grandfather did it. I just love it. Tell us about Dyl,

:24:30.:24:40.
:24:40.:24:42.

because he's low maintenance? You do not have to Shia it. The wall

is not over. He'll be trying to win even more tomorrow? I will Wynter -

:25:04.:25:11.

- want to win the Anglesey show. I will also be taking part with the

:25:11.:25:15.

pairs tomorrow. A lot of work to do again.

:25:15.:25:19.

The weather's been kind to us today and of course that's all down to

:25:19.:25:22.

Derek. He's so happy about it, he's taken up a lofty position tonight.

:25:22.:25:28.

Derek, over to you. The weather has been in better

:25:28.:25:33.

shape today. Cloudy but dry with the odd glimpse of sunshine. Mind

:25:33.:25:37.

you, it could be a little warmer. Temperatures today no higher than

:25:37.:25:45.

The forecast for tomorrow is looking mixed across the country.

:25:46.:25:50.

Plenty of cloud. A little sunshine and a few showers as well. So if

:25:50.:25:54.

you're coming to the show, bring an umbrella just in case. Tonight, the

:25:55.:25:58.

odd spot of light rain or drizzle in parts of the north and west,

:25:58.:26:06.

otherwise dry. A lot of cloud. A few gaps and the odd mist patch.

:26:06.:26:08.

The wind easing with lowest temperatures between 8 and 12

:26:08.:26:11.

Celsius. Tomorrow's chart shows low pressure heading towards northwest

:26:12.:26:16.

France. That will bring some rain to Devon and Cornwall. Meanwhile a

:26:16.:26:20.

trough over northern Britain means heavy showers. So tomorrow a good

:26:20.:26:23.

deal of cloud. A little rain possible in the south for a time.

:26:23.:26:26.

In the north, the odd shower. During the day, it will brighten-up

:26:26.:26:30.

in places with a few more showers breaking out. The odd heavy shower

:26:30.:26:35.

in Powys but some places will stay dry. Some sunshine on the north and

:26:35.:26:39.

west coast. Temperatures on the cool side, 15 to 19 Celsius with a

:26:39.:26:45.

mainly west to north-westerly breeze. The pollen count tomorrow

:26:45.:26:49.

low. Tomorrow night a few showers in the north and west otherwise a

:26:49.:26:55.

dry. A few breaks in the cloud. Another fairly cool night lowest

:26:55.:26:58.

temperatures 9 to 11 Celsius. As for the outlook, Thursday and

:26:58.:27:01.

Friday will see a mixture of sunny intervals and scattered showers.

:27:01.:27:05.

The odd heavy shower possible but some places dry. Temperatures

:27:05.:27:12.

around average or slightly below for July with mainly light winds.

:27:12.:27:15.

At the moment, the weekend looks largely dry with some sunshine. So

:27:15.:27:19.

the weather is a bit mixed tomorrow. I wouldn't rule out a shower but

:27:19.:27:22.

some dry weather as well. Not a bad day if you're coming to see the

:27:22.:27:32.
:27:32.:27:33.

cobs. The headlines from the BBC. Rupert Murdoch said this was the

:27:33.:27:39.

most humbling day of his life. Giving evidence to a parliamentary

:27:39.:27:41.

select committee he insisted he was not responsible for the phone

:27:41.:27:47.

hacking scandal. Proceedings were interrupted as a demonstrator tried

:27:47.:27:54.

to attack Rupert Murdoch as he and his son answered questions. This is

:27:54.:28:03.

not an excuse. The News of the World is less than 1% of my company

:28:03.:28:09.

and employs -- that implies 53,000 people around the world. We are

:28:09.:28:13.

proud, great and ethical and distinguished people.
