Speaker 1: agency study, not a legal matter.

7
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:28,160
Speaker 2: Investigation is open when the FTC may have some concern

00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:33,560
Speaker 2: is just meant to learn about a business, to learn

10
00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:37,640

25
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:31,319

Speaker 5: called for an international investigation, saying that the facts had

38
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:18,160
Speaker 5: to be established to the greatest extent possible. Given that

39
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 5: the plane crashed outside of Ukrainian territory, Russia is seizing

40
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:25,800

46
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:46,760

48
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:55,320

62
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 6: one million or one point one million, and sometimes it

63
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 6: goes to one point four, like it is right now,

64
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 6: one four, one five. So those are bit seasonal, but

65
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:56,080
