:06:58. > :07:03.I can't hear you particularly well but I will try to answer. This is a
:07:04. > :07:07.sensitive issue. I would like to concentrate on the positives. Both
:07:08. > :07:12.of these companies are brilliant and internationally renowned. For
:07:13. > :07:17.AstraZeneca to be a company that has the gravitas and the brilliance to
:07:18. > :07:24.attract such interest is a fantastic thing, not just for AstraZeneca but

:07:46. > :07:51.commitment? I'm talking ten or 0 years down the line. If Pfizer can
:07:52. > :07:56.assure us that there will not be job losses, and that they will be
:07:57. > :08:02.committed to the UK, and importantly committed to a better patient
:08:03. > :08:06.outcome, then I think it is potentially a good thing. You talk
:08:07. > :08:10.about assurances. We have had assurances from
:08:11. > :08:18.Westminster that jobs must stay in this country. Do you think that is
:08:19. > :08:23.an empty promise? I'm not sure it should necessarily
:08:24. > :08:24.be a government matter. It hs a commercial matter between these two
:08:25. > :08:29.organisations. If you look `t organisations. If you look `t

:19:17. > :19:18.are the crowds, the riders `nd everything setup. All we nedd now
:19:19. > :19:24.are the crowds, the riders and a bit of action. Basically, my job is to
:19:25. > :19:27.get the crowds ready and tell them what is going on, because they

:19:39. > :19:41.soggy race. The best place to be, inside where the timing teal
:19:42. > :19:46.operates. This system is obviously very reliable. It has to be. It can
:19:47. > :19:52.take 10,000 pictures per second so take 10,000 pictures per second so
:19:53. > :19:55.we can have ten thousandths of a second. We don't need that much for
:19:56. > :20:00.second. We don't need that luch for cycling but it is really accurate.
:20:01. > :20:02.The women's tour has started from Hinckley but these riders are the
:20:03. > :20:06.support race from Bedford, Milton support race from Bedford, Lilton
:20:07. > :20:11.Keynes, Luton and they are getting a taste of what is to come in the main
:20:12. > :20:18.event. We tend to take it all for granted but we move 180 vehhcles,
:20:19. > :20:19.180 tonnes of equipment, hotels for 400 or 500 people every night but
:20:20. > :20:23.that is what we do and we gdt on that is what we do and we gdt on
:20:24. > :20:29.with it. The crowds were deep, despite the weather. We werd racing
:20:30. > :20:34.on the circuit around here this morning. It was a great expdrience.
:20:35. > :20:37.morning. It was a great experience. For the organisers, stage two is
:20:38. > :20:48.nearly done and dusted and for the rice `` for the riders, 72 miles

:21:21. > :21:24.scary is that they didn't even have a venue until the very last minute.
:21:25. > :21:28.That venue is an empty retahl unit in a shopping centre. Kevin Burch
:21:29. > :21:29.has more. You could say this is a tale of the heart in the he`rt of
