SPEAKER: WHITE And same-sex marriage, the parties in the | :01:34. | :01:39. | |
assembly are hopelessly divide on it. So is from any point in | :01:39. | :01:49. | |
:01:49. | :01:49. | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 2117 seconds | :01:49. | :37:07. | |
Welcome to Sunday Politics in Northern Ireland. It is one of the | :37:07. | :37:09. | |
most controversial issues of the moment, whether or not people of | :37:09. | :37:14. | |
the same sex should be allowed to get married. Tomorrow a joint | :37:14. | :37:18. | |
motion in support of the move will be debated in the assembly, but the | :37:18. | :37:23. | |
local parties are hopelessly split on the issue, so there is little | :37:23. | :37:28. | |
chance of consensus. With me is the Green Party's Steven Agnew. Plus | :37:28. | :37:33. | |
tens of thousands on the streets of Belfast to commemorate the signing | :37:33. | :37:37. | |
of the Ulster covenant. Is this a blueprint for future | :37:37. | :37:47. | |
:37:47. | :37:53. | ||
Now gay marriage is rarely out of the news these days and there is no | :37:53. | :37:56. | |
shortage of controversy surrounding the idea here and the rest of the | :37:56. | :38:05. | |
UK. The views of the veteran Ulster unionist on the subject led to his | :38:05. | :38:10. | |
departure from the party. It is up for debate in the assembly tomorrow. | :38:10. | :38:14. | |
Sinn Fein and the Green Party have brought the motion in support of it. | :38:14. | :38:17. | |
Steven Agnew the leader of the Green Party in Northern Ireland is | :38:17. | :38:21. | |
with me now. Hello. Thank you for joining us on the politics | :38:21. | :38:24. | |
programme. Tell me why you think that it is worth the assembly's | :38:24. | :38:28. | |
time to be debating an issue, which frankly you are unlikely to get | :38:28. | :38:32. | |
through? I think it is important we do have the debate. For example we | :38:32. | :38:37. | |
have the Prime Minister of the UK, the leader of the Tory party able | :38:37. | :38:39. | |
to say he can support equal marriage but in Northern Ireland we | :38:39. | :38:43. | |
haven't had the debate in the assembly chamber, the chamber | :38:43. | :38:47. | |
decide that the legislation on this issue. We have several partnerships | :38:47. | :38:50. | |
but civil partnerships are not equal to marriage and they are | :38:50. | :38:54. | |
separate. We talked about a shared future. We want the shared future | :38:54. | :38:58. | |
for everyone and not this idea of separate but equal. Currently, if | :38:58. | :39:01. | |
you are in a civil partnership you can't adopt in Northern Ireland, | :39:01. | :39:07. | |
although you can in England, Scotland and Wales and if you are a | :39:07. | :39:11. | |
religious couple, you can't get, have any form of religious ceremony, | :39:11. | :39:15. | |
even if there is a church willing to do so. So the churches are | :39:15. | :39:19. | |
barred from performing civil partnerships or same-sex marriage | :39:19. | :39:27. | |
by the lausm we any is an issue of religious freedom. A couple who of | :39:27. | :39:33. | |
mixed sex can have a religious wed wuing two devout Christians can't | :39:33. | :39:39. | |
have a religious ceremony in a same sex relationship. There are those | :39:39. | :39:42. | |
within the gay community who feel it has gone far enough and there | :39:42. | :39:46. | |
are people from that community who would say gay marriage, we don't | :39:46. | :39:52. | |
need. That is up for those to decide, this is an issue of | :39:52. | :39:56. | |
religious freedom and freedom of conscience, if we passed this | :39:56. | :40:00. | |
legislation, if the motion were to pass and be followed by legislation, | :40:00. | :40:03. | |
we would have the situation where people would have choice, people in | :40:03. | :40:06. | |
same sex relationship would have the choice to get married. Churches | :40:06. | :40:11. | |
would have the choice about whether or not they would allow same sex | :40:11. | :40:14. | |
couples to have religious ceremonies. It is some timeed | :40:14. | :40:19. | |
perceived the church is against it, there are groups such as Changing | :40:19. | :40:24. | |
Attitudes who want to see equal marriage. I spoke to a Reverend who | :40:24. | :40:30. | |
would like to perform same-sex marriage. So it, there are various | :40:30. | :40:33. | |
views within the religious institution. Do you know how many | :40:33. | :40:40. | |
couples would be affected? Can you put a figure on it? We have about | :40:40. | :40:45. | |
100 couples perform civil partner - - partnerships. 650 I think since | :40:45. | :40:51. | |
the legislation. So tiny? It is not about numbers. It is about civil | :40:51. | :40:55. | |
rights and equality. We have homophobia priv lent in society and | :40:55. | :40:59. | |
the state should send a message that same sex couples are equal to | :40:59. | :41:02. | |
couples of different sex. It is the substance of marriage, the | :41:02. | :41:07. | |
commitment and love that is important, not the form, that is | :41:07. | :41:10. | |
the gender. The difficulty is when you take this to the floor of the | :41:10. | :41:13. | |
assembly tomorrow, you are not going to get agreement, because | :41:13. | :41:17. | |
there is a huge amount of division. I will get your thoughts on that in | :41:17. | :41:23. | |
a moment. Let us remind ourself of what Jonathan Bell had to say. He | :41:23. | :41:30. | |
talked about it on the floor of the assembly just last week. There are | :41:30. | :41:35. | |
no plans to change the definition of marriage in Northern Ireland. To | :41:35. | :41:41. | |
do so, as members would know, would require the agreement of the | :41:41. | :41:44. | |
executive, and parties on the executive are hopelessly divided in | :41:44. | :41:50. | |
ters of a position in relation to that. The DUP is clear they see gay | :41:50. | :41:57. | |
marriage as an oxy moron, to they see marriage between a man and a | :41:57. | :42:01. | |
woman, the Alliance Party and Sinn Fein are united in their position | :42:01. | :42:06. | |
of support for gay marriage, and if you want to hear both sides of the | :42:06. | :42:16. | |
:42:16. | :42:16. | ||
argument you can ask Mike Nesbitt and Alistair MacDonald. The SDLP | :42:16. | :42:20. | |
and the Ulster Unionist do not have united fronts on the. On flid we | :42:20. | :42:24. | |
had a petition of concern placed by the DUP which means even if you get | :42:24. | :42:28. | |
a majority torges it will be overturned because you need cross | :42:28. | :42:31. | |
community support. Two points on that. One from speaking to the | :42:31. | :42:35. | |
other parties, this is going to be a close vote. Too close to call at | :42:35. | :42:40. | |
this stage, so the assembly is round 50-50 so it is not going to | :42:40. | :42:43. | |
be a clear majority against by any means but the petition of concern | :42:43. | :42:47. | |
has been abused. The petition legislation which put the petition | :42:47. | :42:55. | |
of concern in place was designed to protect minorities, from abuse of | :42:55. | :42:59. | |
the majority, and in this case the petition of concern is being used | :42:59. | :43:04. | |
to prevent the extension of rights to a minority group. That not what | :43:04. | :43:09. | |
it was for. They are entitled to use it. It is an abuse of the | :43:09. | :43:12. | |
system. In your view. The whole point of the petition of concern | :43:12. | :43:17. | |
was to stop one side of the House imposing its willing on the -- will | :43:18. | :43:23. | |
on the other side. We have people on both side support, people on | :43:23. | :43:26. | |
both sides against. It is not what the petition of concern was for. | :43:26. | :43:30. | |
What happens tomorrow is that you have potentially a heated debate on | :43:30. | :43:35. | |
the floor of the assembly chamber, and you allow people to restate | :43:35. | :43:38. | |
trenchant positions which perhaps doesn't move the debate on. We | :43:38. | :43:42. | |
might get a lot of heat tomorrow and very little light. How does | :43:42. | :43:46. | |
that help your case? We haven't had any signal from the body that can | :43:46. | :43:51. | |
legislate what its views are, we have never had a debate on this | :43:51. | :43:58. | |
issue. The body that legislates can't make up its mind, that is the | :43:58. | :44:01. | |
point. Half the assembly supports this, that means we can see how | :44:01. | :44:06. | |
much work is to do. You want to put down a marker, is that what you are | :44:06. | :44:10. | |
saying. We want to get it debated by the people who legislate. There | :44:10. | :44:16. | |
is all these polls out there, saying, X percent support it but we | :44:16. | :44:22. | |
need to know what the people who legislate think. The fact that | :44:22. | :44:25. | |
there's been pointed out some of the parties are split, is meaning | :44:25. | :44:28. | |
the conversation is taking place within the party, so it is taking | :44:28. | :44:32. | |
the issue forward, because people are discussing it. How will you | :44:32. | :44:36. | |
judge whether or not tomorrow's debate has been a success from your | :44:36. | :44:40. | |
point of view. What is your yard stick? It is a success because | :44:40. | :44:43. | |
within parties we are discussing that, that is a step forward. We | :44:43. | :44:46. | |
have a Conservative Prime Minister who is in favour of equal marriage, | :44:46. | :44:49. | |
we should at least be able to debate it in Northern Ireland. But | :44:49. | :44:53. | |
I think when we see the numbers n the assembly, it will give other | :44:53. | :44:57. | |
MLAs the strength to come out next time round, when they see the | :44:57. | :45:01. | |
amount of support there is for this. We will watch the debate with | :45:01. | :45:11. | |
interest. Thank you very much for coming in to join us. Tens of | :45:11. | :45:15. | |
thousands of people marched to Stormont yesterday to mark the | :45:15. | :45:19. | |
centenary of the signing of Ulster covenant. It was one of the biggest | :45:19. | :45:22. | |
parades in HIVing memory and involved one of the largest | :45:22. | :45:27. | |
policing operation in decade. A feeder parade path a Catholic | :45:27. | :45:32. | |
Church was trouble free. The signing of the covenant laid the | :45:32. | :45:40. | |
foundation for the partition of Ireland. 100 years on, unionist | :45:40. | :45:43. | |
leaders once again signed the covenant. It was a show of unity at | :45:43. | :45:48. | |
the start of a day rich in historical symbolism. But for a | :45:48. | :45:54. | |
modern day unionist leader, it was also an opportunity to look forward. | :45:54. | :45:58. | |
The context is very different today. We now see there is support from | :45:58. | :46:02. | |
the union across the unity. I believe we have to build on that, | :46:02. | :46:05. | |
encouraging people, whatever their backgrounds maybe, to give their | :46:05. | :46:10. | |
support and allegiance to the union. Outside the City Hall no-one could | :46:10. | :46:12. | |
question the allegiance of the thousands who gathered for the | :46:12. | :46:22. | |
:46:22. | :46:24. | ||
march to Stormont. Among them many dressed in period costume. | :46:24. | :46:30. | |
Including Jackie MacDonald who led ranks of men dressed in the uniform | :46:30. | :46:37. | |
of the Ulster Defence Union. Members of the loyal orders from | :46:37. | :46:40. | |
England, Scotland and the Irish Republic took part in the six mile | :46:40. | :46:44. | |
procession. What is happening today is a celebration of a resistance, | :46:44. | :46:47. | |
to somebody taking away the identity you were born with, and | :46:47. | :46:52. | |
with which you were educated to be, feel a British citizen, part of the | :46:52. | :46:56. | |
United Kingdom, that is very important to the people here today | :46:56. | :47:02. | |
P There is a tremendous day to celebrate the centenary of the | :47:02. | :47:07. | |
Ulster covenant. Tremendous to see the crowds that are here. Very much | :47:07. | :47:12. | |
shows that Britishness is still alive in Northern Ireland today. | :47:12. | :47:16. | |
took five hours for everyone to reach Stormont, but once there, in | :47:16. | :47:24. | |
the shadow of Sir Edward Carson, a chance to buy some refreshment and | :47:24. | :47:28. | |
merchandise before a religious service. Today as Lord and | :47:28. | :47:32. | |
saviour... Not even welcomed the parade, a fact made obvious by the | :47:32. | :47:35. | |
heavy security presence. It was the biggest policing operation in the | :47:35. | :47:40. | |
city for 20 years P -- years. have seen a lot of people with | :47:40. | :47:44. | |
smiles on their face watching it and participating and people going | :47:44. | :47:48. | |
about their business. What we are seeing is a dignified parade and I | :47:48. | :47:52. | |
am grateful for that. I hope today will start something that next year | :47:52. | :47:57. | |
will turn into a peaceful July and August. There was relief that the | :47:57. | :48:02. | |
large numbers of police on duty did not have to deal with any disorder. | :48:02. | :48:06. | |
But questions will be raised in the days ahead about the conduct of | :48:06. | :48:11. | |
some band, which did not follow the parade commission's ruling. Only | :48:11. | :48:16. | |
sacred music was to be played outside two Catholic Church tons | :48:16. | :48:22. | |
route. This was largely followed at St Patricks on Donegal Street. The | :48:22. | :48:32. | |
:48:32. | :48:39. | ||
same was not true at St Matthews on Outside saith math knews not just a | :48:39. | :48:43. | |
handful but it is safe to say most of the band taking part openly | :48:43. | :48:47. | |
defied the parade's commission, determination. What need to happen | :48:47. | :48:56. | |
is the PSNI need to bring a case to the PPS. The PSNI says it will | :48:56. | :48:59. | |
investigate any breeches but it welcomed the efforts of those be | :48:59. | :49:04. | |
signed the scenes to ensure this much anticipated parade passed off | :49:04. | :49:12. | |
peacefully. Alex Cane and Noel Doran with with me now. You were | :49:12. | :49:15. | |
watching the parade Alex, what did you make of it. I was up at | :49:15. | :49:20. | |
Stormont for three hour, it was bigger than anyone expected. And a | :49:20. | :49:26. | |
very good atmosphere, very relaxed it was like Orange heaven. They | :49:26. | :49:31. | |
could play what they want, say what they wanted. Very relaxed | :49:31. | :49:36. | |
atmosphere. Maybe that is the solution to the parading issue, to | :49:36. | :49:40. | |
go somewhere where there are not restrictions placed. That is true, | :49:41. | :49:46. | |
it is how you get them from A to B. One thing has come out of this, | :49:46. | :49:52. | |
after the kf orange admitted they changed the rules. They can't get | :49:52. | :49:57. | |
the next Easter or July 129 or next celebration and not have this sort | :49:57. | :50:02. | |
of thing, they need to be talking now, because I think the protestors | :50:02. | :50:05. | |
yesterday, they should be welcomed for what they did. They didn't | :50:06. | :50:11. | |
throw bricks or bottles. It was mostly peaceful. It was a two sided | :50:11. | :50:14. | |
peacefulness. Noel, are you relieved that it passed off as | :50:14. | :50:19. | |
peacefully and positively as it seemed to do? I think at Stormont, | :50:19. | :50:23. | |
everything but fine as Alex says, and there was a positive atmosphere. | :50:24. | :50:27. | |
There wasn't on the Newtonards Road which is really the big issue | :50:27. | :50:30. | |
coming out of yesterday's demonstration, the restrictions | :50:30. | :50:34. | |
were clear, it wasn't a small minority, it was a considerable | :50:34. | :50:39. | |
number of the band. This is in Peter Robinson's constituency. He | :50:39. | :50:42. | |
spoke for the need of the union to appeal across the community. There | :50:42. | :50:48. | |
was very much a message from some people to be pro-union was to be | :50:48. | :50:53. | |
anti-Catholic, that will have to be addressed by the Parades Commission | :50:53. | :50:57. | |
and senior politicians. How much further do you think it need to be | :50:57. | :51:01. | |
taken? Are we looking at evidence gathering and possible prosecution? | :51:01. | :51:06. | |
The focus as we heard from the report was St Matthew's church on | :51:06. | :51:12. | |
the Newtonards Road, that is the one remaining issue of contention. | :51:12. | :51:17. | |
There were some evidence of breaches in Donegal Street. On a | :51:17. | :51:23. | |
different level. At a very different level. We are conscious | :51:23. | :51:26. | |
the Orange Order took a positive step, that needs to be developed | :51:26. | :51:31. | |
and exploited. The rules were flaunted yesterday, people's noses | :51:31. | :51:34. | |
were rubbed in it on the lower Newtonards Road and it is not the | :51:34. | :51:38. | |
first time it has happened. The Parades Commission is to have | :51:38. | :51:42. | |
credibility that need to be addressed. How should the loyal | :51:42. | :51:45. | |
orders address that issue Alex? It is the one element of yesterday | :51:45. | :51:51. | |
that may spoil the party in the longer term. It is going to come | :51:51. | :51:55. | |
back and aunt them. When the Parades Commission have to review | :51:55. | :51:58. | |
next year's parades that I have to look back at what happened | :51:58. | :52:02. | |
yesterday. They will say to the Orange Order, the bands breached | :52:02. | :52:06. | |
the conditions we set down, we will have to put down different | :52:06. | :52:10. | |
conditions. It was a mistake, but the other problem is even if it | :52:10. | :52:19. | |
wasn't the parades economies, if any other body did it, I think will | :52:19. | :52:23. | |
will be band who breach any condition. What about the brorer | :52:23. | :52:29. | |
message that might be taken out of yesterday's events, are we seeing a | :52:29. | :52:35. | |
move to greater unionist uni -- unity. We saw them gather to sign | :52:35. | :52:41. | |
the covenant and talk about issues about being unionists together. | :52:41. | :52:47. | |
in terms of what Peter Robinson is saying there is a move, he sees the | :52:47. | :52:53. | |
council of the union, he wants them to work together. Yet, yesterday, | :52:53. | :52:59. | |
Mike Nesbitt, Peter Robinson not an Orangeman what unionist need to be | :52:59. | :53:01. | |
careful about, the celebration of the covenant an the Northern | :53:01. | :53:05. | |
Ireland seen tenry in a decade's time, they can't be seen as a | :53:05. | :53:09. | |
triumph of one side over the other. It has to be clocktive celebration. | :53:09. | :53:14. | |
If it isn't you are going to keep the us and them for ever. Do you | :53:14. | :53:17. | |
think nationalists will be concerned about the notion of | :53:17. | :53:21. | |
greater unionist unity if that is what comes out? If that happens it | :53:21. | :53:25. | |
happens. You could say that Peter Robinson may no longer sees the | :53:25. | :53:29. | |
Ulster Unionist as any form of threat and is happy to have them at | :53:29. | :53:33. | |
his shoulder rather than taking them on. We have seen unity in | :53:33. | :53:38. | |
different forms in the past. I doesn't tend to last that long T | :53:38. | :53:41. | |
Ulster Unionist has been through so many changes, it is difficult to | :53:41. | :53:51. | |
:53:51. | :53:53. | ||
predict where it will be in a year or two's time. You might see joint | :53:53. | :53:56. | |
candidates in forthcoming by- elections, Mid Ulster people are | :53:56. | :53:59. | |
talking about. That is a slightly unusual one. Martin McGuinness has | :53:59. | :54:02. | |
confirmed he will stand down. He has confirmed that Sinn Fein will | :54:02. | :54:06. | |
be in field and I think we would look at the figure, we would expect | :54:06. | :54:10. | |
that Sinn Fein will be retaining that seat. Well, it depend if | :54:10. | :54:17. | |
others stand and split that vote. You don't think that is an issue. | :54:17. | :54:21. | |
don't think Mike Nesbitt can go into his first election as leader | :54:21. | :54:25. | |
of the Ulster Unionist Party party and not field a candidate. It is | :54:25. | :54:29. | |
clear some people have said other senior members of the MLA team have | :54:29. | :54:33. | |
told me and officers have said they want a Ulster Unionist candidate. | :54:33. | :54:38. | |
How does all of this set the tone for the decade to come? Noel has | :54:38. | :54:43. | |
referred ahead a little bit to what happens in a decade's time as far | :54:43. | :54:45. | |
as unionist commemorations are consense there are lots of others | :54:45. | :54:51. | |
that need to take place between now and then. Have we got off on as | :54:51. | :54:57. | |
good a footing as we might have hoped to? Yesterday was a good day, | :54:57. | :55:01. | |
but the unionist need to learn something from this. They need to | :55:01. | :55:08. | |
work out what they are celebrating. Are they celebrating the success of | :55:08. | :55:12. | |
Northern Ireland as a vibrant, economically strong collectively | :55:12. | :55:15. | |
co-operating society, because if they are not, I this they brings | :55:15. | :55:20. | |
its own problems. Do you think anyone from a non-unionist | :55:20. | :55:24. | |
background will have a greater understanding of what unionism is | :55:24. | :55:32. | |
about, what the marching culture is about? Seeing people in historical | :55:32. | :55:36. | |
garments, carrying paraphernalia, trying to touch the mood of what | :55:36. | :55:41. | |
happened 100 years ago, does that help the explanation? Or will that | :55:41. | :55:46. | |
wash over people? The pageantry was positive and fascinating, in other | :55:46. | :55:54. | |
respects it was open to par di. How far it moves the debate I am not | :55:54. | :55:58. | |
sure how far that will take us, looking at the spirit of the | :55:58. | :56:00. | |
covenant, that is fine, it's a crucial period in history and it | :56:00. | :56:05. | |
need to be explored. People will look at Carson's role and the way | :56:05. | :56:10. | |
he changed his views further down the line. Let us pause and look at | :56:10. | :56:20. | |
:56:20. | :56:21. | ||
the political week in 60 seconds. Transport come naited the week with | :56:21. | :56:29. | |
claim nas the new bus lanes created chaos. This is not thought up | :56:29. | :56:32. | |
overnight. For many people stuck in traffic it seems like that. From | :56:33. | :56:37. | |
the bike to the car, like another Tory the new Secretary of State | :56:37. | :56:42. | |
revealed the day she got her job she cycled out of Downing Street. | :56:42. | :56:46. | |
The sath sad thing is that is the last time I was allowed to ride my | :56:46. | :56:53. | |
bike and I have been stuck in a bullet-proof car since. Special | :56:53. | :56:57. | |
advisers were in Jim McAllister's site. We face up to it or ignore it. | :56:57. | :57:01. | |
From the committee room to the ringside. MLAs came to blow tons | :57:02. | :57:08. | |
politics of boxing. And as he marked the seen renry of the | :57:08. | :57:15. | |
covenant Lord Band dvingsl side told us he is fighting fit. I don't | :57:15. | :57:24. | |
look like a sick man. -- Lord Bannside. Alex and Noel are still | :57:24. | :57:29. | |
with me. Noel, we got our first proper look at the new Secretary of | :57:29. | :57:33. | |
State on Thursday, what did you make of what she had to say? It is | :57:33. | :57:38. | |
early day, we are impressed with her bike riding ability. She got | :57:38. | :57:42. | |
special treatment! And better manners than some others. | :57:42. | :57:47. | |
Fascinating to look at her ancestry with the Earl of Clarendon and | :57:47. | :57:55. | |
others who had a pivotal road in -- role in Irish history. Clear rien | :57:55. | :58:01. | |
on corporation tax, she say she is will fly the flag. I am not sure it | :58:01. | :58:05. | |
was that clear. She said it was the Prime Minister's decision. It will | :58:05. | :58:10. | |
be the decision of the assembly. I think she gave a classic political | :58:10. | :58:14. | |
answer which all side will be happy with. The fact she got to ride her | :58:14. | :58:18. | |
bike out of the main gates of Downing Street, did that produce a | :58:18. | :58:24. | |
wry smile. No, I hate cyclist. If she is here to champion them I | :58:24. | :58:27. | |
won't be happy. Let us reflect Noel, for a moment or two on the debate | :58:27. | :58:30. | |
we had with Steven Agnew about gay marriage, that makes an appearance | :58:31. | :58:36. | |
on the floor of the assembly tomorrow. Helpful, useful or | :58:36. | :58:40. | |
potentially divisive? Hopefully we will have a mature debate and | :58:40. | :58:46. | |
people will have look ed at the contribution of Mary McAleese as | :58:46. | :58:49. | |
being helpful. We could have difficult moments tomorrow. The | :58:49. | :58:53. | |
measure won't go through. If the tone is right, I think that would | :58:54. | :58:58. | |
help. Alex? I don't think it will be a mature debate. The DUP have | :58:58. | :59:02. | |
vetoed it. This is the third week in a row we have had motions | :59:02. | :59:06. | |
brought to the assembly which are divietive, unionist, nationalist | :59:06. | :59:11. | |
debates which won't pass and I think there are more pressing | :59:11. | :59:16. | |
issues they can deal with with. Looking ahead to the week ahead, we | :59:16. | :59:20. | |
have the Labour Conference sh Northern Ireland featuring on the | :59:20. | :59:24. | |
agenda. No, faded into the background. That is not necessarily | :59:24. | :59:29. | |
a bad thing. I think the executive is going through a bad period. | :59:29. | :59:34. | |
There are some areas it is lacking in credibility. With shouldn't be | :59:34. | :59:37. | |
surprised. No, but it is worth remembering there will be a plucky | :59:37. | :59:42. | |
little band from the Northern Ireland Labour Party who have been | :59:42. | :59:45. |
