Tom and Mike Karena, Thanks so much. 23 00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:15,959 Speaker 1: This is a great way to start your Monday. Michael McKee, 24 00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:20,880 Speaker 1: there has been an intelligent debate about whither Europe. Part 25 00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:24,760 Speaker 1: of it is will the periphery leave the core of 26 00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:28,040 Speaker 1: the continent, And another way to look at it, which 27 00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:31,640 Speaker 1: has been touched upon by yacolm Fells in essays is 28 00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:37,240 Speaker 1: Time with Morgan Stanley, is will the core leave the periphery, 29 00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:40,840 Speaker 1: which is a whole different, twisted view, which Michael's exactly 30 00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:45,000 Speaker 1: what you'd expect from yacolm Fells. Well, obviously we've been 31 00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:51,640 Speaker 1: watching the old pigs Portugal, Ireland, Italy, Spain, Greece, uh 32 00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:54,400 Speaker 1: and now you gotta watch Great Britain, and there's been 33 00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:55,920 Speaker 1: a lot of talk about it. If they're gonna fix 34 00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:59,280 Speaker 1: the EU, Germany has gotta go. Lacolm Fells is now 35 00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:03,600 Speaker 1: the chief Global economic Advisor to Pacific Investment Management Company. 36 00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:08,280 Speaker 1: He's trained in the Gloom of England and Germany, in 37 00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:11,680 Speaker 1: terms of weather for the sunshine of California. Um, but 38 00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:18,000 Speaker 1: that hasn't changed his his outlook. Welcome, uh, welcome. Where 39 00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:22,520 Speaker 1: do you see the EU going from here? Well, I think, Michael, 40 00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:25,960 Speaker 1: we've learned something and policy makers have learned something during 41 00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:29,040 Speaker 1: the euro crisis. Um. I think what they've learned is 42 00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:33,320 Speaker 1: that yes, there are tensions, there are imbalances within the 43 00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:39,160 Speaker 1: Euro Area, but disentangling this entity is extremely difficult. So 44 00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:43,520 Speaker 1: I think there is a willingness to keep the Euro together. Um. 45 00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:47,440 Speaker 1: It's a bit like you know, saying you can turn 46 00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:50,959 Speaker 1: three or four eggs into an omelet, and we did 47 00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:53,600 Speaker 1: that with the Euro, but you can't turn the omelet 48 00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:57,000 Speaker 1: back into the eggs. So disentangling the Euro would be 49 00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:00,440 Speaker 1: extremely costly, and I think there is still the political 50 00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:03,640 Speaker 1: will to hold it together. The bigger question at the 51 00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:06,120 Speaker 1: moment is, of course, what happens to the European Union 52 00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:09,040 Speaker 1: and what happens to the UK in the EU. And 53 00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:12,440 Speaker 1: I think, well, that's I think something that has been 54 00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:16,079 Speaker 1: weighing down on markets and will continue to weigh down 55 00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:18,880 Speaker 1: on markets as we head into the referendum on June 56 00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:21,440 Speaker 1: twenty three. Well, we have talked a lot about What 57 00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:24,720 Speaker 1: would happen to the British economy if they were to 58 00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:27,800 Speaker 1: leave the European Union? What happens to the European Union 59 00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:31,520 Speaker 1: economy without Britain. Well, it's obviously bad news. I think 60 00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:35,840 Speaker 1: the UK. From a political perspective, the UK was always 61 00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:40,880 Speaker 1: a good counterbalance two forces that were going for more 62 00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:44,600 Speaker 1: regulation within the European Union. So I think it would 63 00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:47,480 Speaker 1: be sad to see Britain go. I think it would 64 00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:51,920 Speaker 1: be bad news for Europe also from an economic perspective, 65 00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:55,960 Speaker 1: because the UK is an important trading partner um. But 66 00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:59,440 Speaker 1: more importantly, I think the vote in the UK to 67 00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:04,640 Speaker 1: exit it would give support to anti European and anti 68 00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:08,560 Speaker 1: euro forces in other member states. So I think this 69 00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:13,640 Speaker 1: would lead to more political uncertainty in other European countries. 70 00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:16,920 Speaker 1: It could weigh down on the Euro. It might force 71 00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:20,640 Speaker 1: the e c B to do even more easing um, 72 00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:23,240 Speaker 1: and then I think this could turn into a global 73 00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:27,320 Speaker 1: risk off event um if the dollar strengthens a lot 74 00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:29,280 Speaker 1: on the back of this, the dollar as a safe 75 00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:33,160 Speaker 1: haven currency, because that might then bring the Chinese back 76 00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:36,960 Speaker 1: into play. And China, as we've learned back in August 77 00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:39,560 Speaker 1: of last year and early this year, China does not 78 00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:44,839 Speaker 1: want to see the dollar appreciating because they are linked 79 00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:48,680 Speaker 1: to the dollar. So this is how Brexit could turn 80 00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:53,320 Speaker 1: into a major event, not only for Britain and for Europe, 81 00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:56,480 Speaker 1: but also for the global economy. Well, how likely is 82 00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:58,840 Speaker 1: it that we get a knock on effect in other 83 00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:00,960 Speaker 1: European countries one way or the other. A lot of 84 00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:03,679 Speaker 1: people that have focused on the fact that three days 85 00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:08,680 Speaker 1: after the Brits vote, the Spanish vote again. Yes, Spain, 86 00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:12,760 Speaker 1: Spain will vote again. Um and the situation, the political 87 00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:17,440 Speaker 1: situation is quite messy in that country. But in many 88 00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:21,960 Speaker 1: other countries you have had support to anti European and 89 00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:26,040 Speaker 1: anti immigrant parties. Look at the core countries. Look at 90 00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:29,440 Speaker 1: Germany where the a f D which started out as 91 00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:32,720 Speaker 1: an anti euro party and is now riding on the 92 00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:36,200 Speaker 1: anti immigration ticket. How how that party has gained in strength. 93 00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:39,880 Speaker 1: Look at France where the Foreign Nacional and Maria penn 94 00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:42,520 Speaker 1: has a good chance to win at least the first 95 00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:45,960 Speaker 1: round of the presidential election. So I think this is 96 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:51,159 Speaker 1: a European white phenomenon. And again, if the British people 97 00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:54,000 Speaker 1: vote to exit, I think this would give give support 98 00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:57,840 Speaker 1: to these other forces elsewhere within the Balance in Ambras. 99 00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:02,240 Speaker 1: Evans pretty sure, I thought had a most interesting tinged 100 00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:07,120 Speaker 1: pro Brexit column in the Telegraph talking about the pushback 101 00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:10,039 Speaker 1: from none other than Olivier Blanchard, who's now over without 102 00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:14,520 Speaker 1: imposing it the Peterson Institute where he talks about will 103 00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:18,200 Speaker 1: will financing be more difficult after Brexit? Will investor see 104 00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:21,760 Speaker 1: the British government is more risky? And the professor says, 105 00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:26,240 Speaker 1: I don't think so. There's some there's some discreet pushback 106 00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:30,640 Speaker 1: among the elites within the elite, isn't there. Yeah, I 107 00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:32,920 Speaker 1: think that's true. By the way, we'll have Olivia blanche 108 00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:37,840 Speaker 1: here in Newport Beach tomorrow speaking at our Secular Forum, um, 109 00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:40,560 Speaker 1: and we've certainly discussed that with him as well. I 110 00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:42,919 Speaker 1: think the break wait wait, wait, the price of a 111 00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:46,480 Speaker 1: shameless plug like that is we need to get Yakum 112 00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:50,800 Speaker 1: Fell's and Olivier Blanchard on with us tomorrow. Michael, don't 113 00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:53,840 Speaker 1: you think so? I mean that is the price of 114 00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:58,280 Speaker 1: that blatant shameless plug. Good dr Pells. We can just 115 00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:03,960 Speaker 1: broadcast the Secular Forum live.

So what's your presentation 162 00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:56,520 Speaker 1: UH for this year's conference going to tell people about 163 00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:59,440 Speaker 1: where the global economy is going? Well, I'm in the 164 00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:02,800 Speaker 1: fortunate edition to not present at the Secular Forum because 165 00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:04,960 Speaker 1: what we do at the Secular Forum is we invite 166 00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:07,920 Speaker 1: external speakers to speak to us, and then we have 167 00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:11,160 Speaker 1: a lot of debates with those speakers and also internally. 168 00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:14,680 Speaker 1: But as we look at the secular outlook, as we 169 00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:17,199 Speaker 1: call it, the next three to five years, I think 170 00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:22,600 Speaker 1: the biggest question is around low growth, low productivity growth, 171 00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:28,679 Speaker 1: low inflation, and above all, low equilibrium interest rates. I think, 172 00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:31,200 Speaker 1: as you know, this has been a PIMCO theme for 173 00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:34,960 Speaker 1: quite a while, that the mutual rate of interest, the 174 00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:37,640 Speaker 1: equilibrium rate of interest is much much lower than in 175 00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:41,800 Speaker 1: previous cycles. UM. I think markets have come round to 176 00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:45,200 Speaker 1: this view. I think it is now widely accepted that 177 00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:49,880 Speaker 1: we have a global savings glut that is depressing the 178 00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:53,280 Speaker 1: equilibrium interest rate. And the big question is what are 179 00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:57,040 Speaker 1: the conditions that could change this over our secular the 180 00:10:57,080 --> 00:11:00,440 Speaker 1: next three to five year time horizon. And I must say, 181 00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:03,280 Speaker 1: going into it, I have an open mind, but I 182 00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:07,520 Speaker 1: find it difficult to see the real equilibrium interest rate 183 00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:12,040 Speaker 1: rising significantly over that time period. I think the forces 184 00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:15,440 Speaker 1: of the global savings glut are here to stay. There's 185 00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:20,480 Speaker 1: an excessive desired saving over desired investment in the world UM. 186 00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:23,319 Speaker 1: And one thing that we will focus on in particular 187 00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:29,680 Speaker 1: is how effective is monetary policy still to fight those headwinds. 188 00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:31,880 Speaker 1: I think this is where we have the biggest question. Marks. 189 00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:35,760 Speaker 1: That's a real question because the inability to get up 190 00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:41,120 Speaker 1: the neutral rate anywhere in the world is a nail, 191 00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:45,800 Speaker 1: and central banks have hammers. So does that make in 192 00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:50,000 Speaker 1: helicopter money the end game for most of these central 193 00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:53,120 Speaker 1: banks around the world. I think that may well happen. 194 00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:58,360 Speaker 1: Helicopter money is not as absurd an idea as as 195 00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:01,679 Speaker 1: many people think. UM. In a way this is about 196 00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:07,040 Speaker 1: fiscal policy, right, I mean, helicopter money is money financed 197 00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:11,720 Speaker 1: fiscal policy. I think most experts would agree that the 198 00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:19,959 Speaker 1: world needs more expansionary fiscal policy, particularly focused on infrastructure investment, 199 00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:24,439 Speaker 1: but also on tax reform. And it would be easier 200 00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:27,720 Speaker 1: for governments to do this, um if they could be 201 00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:32,800 Speaker 1: financed in doing that by central banks directly. Within your 202 00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:36,400 Speaker 1: work of many years and with the thematic way that 203 00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:41,000 Speaker 1: you're right, the arch question is do we drive towards 204 00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:47,800 Speaker 1: stability in global equilibrium or do we just understood understand 205 00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:52,439 Speaker 1: disequilibrium which may be sooner deeper recessions. I mean, anybody 206 00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:55,719 Speaker 1: can pick their gloom weapon, but do you see an 207 00:12:55,760 --> 00:13:01,280 Speaker 1: equilibrium forward or a dis equilibrium forward? I think there 208 00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:04,120 Speaker 1: is no such thing as an equilibrium in the real world. 209 00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:08,520 Speaker 1: I think it's a nice concept, um, you know, to 210 00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:11,120 Speaker 1: to do models of the economy, but I think what 211 00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:13,360 Speaker 1: we're what we're actually doing in this world is we're 212 00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:17,760 Speaker 1: moving from one dis equilibrium to the next. There are 213 00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:23,200 Speaker 1: plenty of dis equilibria within economies, within financial markets, and 214 00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:26,920 Speaker 1: also across the world, and the only question is, you know, 215 00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:31,400 Speaker 1: can will central banks and governments be able to move 216 00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:36,160 Speaker 1: us or to avoid the really bad dis equilibria, and 217 00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:40,640 Speaker 1: will we be able to keep dampening volatility as central 218 00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:43,800 Speaker 1: banks have done so successfully over the past seven eight years. 219 00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:47,199 Speaker 1: I think the task will become ever more difficult as 220 00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:55,040 Speaker 1: we move forward. What then, is um it is a 221 00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:58,080 Speaker 1: investors supposed to do at this point? Do you do 222 00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:01,200 Speaker 1: you sit and wait things out? Do you put money 223 00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:05,079 Speaker 1: under the mattress? Uh? It seems like there's no good 224 00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:08,240 Speaker 1: answer right now. Well, I think there are a few 225 00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:10,559 Speaker 1: things that you can do in this environment. I mean, 226 00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:12,959 Speaker 1: if if you believe that the forces of the savings 227 00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:16,240 Speaker 1: glut are here to stay UM and that central banks 228 00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:19,840 Speaker 1: will stay supportive, well, that means interest rates will stay low. 229 00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:24,600 Speaker 1: But it also means that this expansion, this economic expansion, 230 00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:26,480 Speaker 1: which is a very weak one I've called it a 231 00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:29,240 Speaker 1: triple B expansion with gowfer is bumpy below parent brittle, 232 00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:34,080 Speaker 1: this is likely to continue UM, and that means that 233 00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:41,560 Speaker 1: relatively safe credit assets, corporate bonds, highly rated corporate bonds 234 00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:46,000 Speaker 1: should continue to do well. UM. We have been using 235 00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:48,880 Speaker 1: the rally that we've seen since the loads of February 236 00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:53,000 Speaker 1: to lighten up on some of the more risky investments. 237 00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:57,160 Speaker 1: So we've been going up in quality UM, but it all, 238 00:14:57,400 --> 00:15:01,160 Speaker 1: you know, depends on the question whether you believe that 239 00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:04,960 Speaker 1: this expansion can continue. If you do, UM, it does 240 00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:08,640 Speaker 1: make sense to be in credit. I also think central banks, 241 00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:12,240 Speaker 1: including Janet Yellen's FED, want to run the economy a 242 00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:16,920 Speaker 1: little bit hot, and that means tips inflation linked bonds 243 00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:23,400 Speaker 1: UM offer some attractive opportunities UM and then well more broadly, 244 00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:26,080 Speaker 1: I think this is a world where you want to 245 00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:31,760 Speaker 1: have some liquidity available to exploit the bouts and the 246 00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:34,840 Speaker 1: potholes similar to the ones that we've seen in January 247 00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:37,400 Speaker 1: and in August of last year very quickly? Can Mario 248 00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:41,080 Speaker 1: Draggy run the European economy quote a little bit hot? 249 00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:45,680 Speaker 1: It's tougher in Europe because there's still a lot more 250 00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:50,080 Speaker 1: spare capacity in the labor market and and in the economy. 251 00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:53,040 Speaker 1: But I think he has at least managed to stabilize 252 00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:56,160 Speaker 1: core inflation, and I think he's willing to do more. 253 00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:59,680 Speaker 1: So I can see another round of quee coming maybe 254 00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:02,960 Speaker 1: later this year. I wouldn't even exclude that he ventures 255 00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:06,480 Speaker 1: into new asset classes. He's now buying corporate bonds. I 256 00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:09,680 Speaker 1: think the next step could be a move into buying equities. 257 00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:12,360 Speaker 1: Oh your kid. When they do that, we have to 258 00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:14,640 Speaker 1: have you back on you and Scott Mather can come 259 00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:18,560 Speaker 1: out and explain that to me, like the European Central Bank, 260 00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:22,160 Speaker 1: Mike with a significant position and Siemens. I just can't 261 00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:24,840 Speaker 1: get there. Yacolm Fells, thank you so much. Would love 262 00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:27,120 Speaker 1: to be a fly in the wall to martch your conference. 263 00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:31,520 Speaker 1: I'm sure it'll be most uh informative. He is with PIMCA, 264 00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:36,720 Speaker 1: always interesting. Olivia Blanchard will be out there, trull Mike. 265 00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:39,200 Speaker 1: I just I'm sorry. I can't get my hands around 266 00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:43,040 Speaker 1: equity ownership by a central bank. Am I wrong? No, 267 00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:46,200 Speaker 1: it's it's against sort of the book. Uh, you know, 268 00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:48,400 Speaker 1: as as you would write it, that there would be 269 00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:50,920 Speaker 1: some sort of influence on sectors of the economy by 270 00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:55,200 Speaker 1: the central bank. Now Japanese you know use ETFs to 271 00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:59,120 Speaker 1: try and buy uh you know, broad sector. So in 272 00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:02,520 Speaker 1: theory they're not doing that, but it is an issue there. 273 00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:07,640 Speaker 1: It is open to debate. To say the least green 274 00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:10,520 Speaker 1: on the screen up forty four points of vix fifteen 275 00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:17,640 Speaker 1: point four eight up point four four points.

Trump's comments, broadcast today on i t v 282 00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:36,800 Speaker 1: s Good Morning Britain are certain to cause on ease 283 00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:40,520 Speaker 1: in Britain, where America is seen as the country's closest Allian. 284 00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:43,920 Speaker 1: Trump is still unhappy with Cameron's criticism of him after 285 00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:47,479 Speaker 1: Trump called for all Muslims to be temporarily banned from 286 00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:51,320 Speaker 1: entering the US. Trump also called London's new mayor City 287 00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:56,160 Speaker 1: Cohn rude Con called Trump's comments about Islam ignorant. Turkish 288 00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:59,400 Speaker 1: shelling and air strikes by the US led military coalition 289 00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:03,280 Speaker 1: reportedly have killed twenty seven Islamic State militants in Syria. 290 00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:06,440 Speaker 1: The Islamic State is losing ground in the Middle East, 291 00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:08,960 Speaker 1: as according to the U s Special Envoy to the 292 00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:13,120 Speaker 1: Anti Islamic State Coalition, Brent McGurk says the extremist group 293 00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:16,320 Speaker 1: is losing the battle to maintain control in places like 294 00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:19,400 Speaker 1: the Syrian city of Rocca, where Jihani John was killed 295 00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:22,480 Speaker 1: by a drone. We found him, we tracked him, and 296 00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:24,639 Speaker 1: we targeted him with such precision on the streets of 297 00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:28,359 Speaker 1: Rocca that nobody else was harmed.
