Fifty two percent of voters 17 00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:55,840 Speaker 2: agreed that the UK was better off outside. 18 00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:59,840 Speaker 3: The Elio protests outside Parliament on the day Britain should 19 00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:01,600 Speaker 3: have I've left the European Union. 20 00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:05,280 Speaker 2: So reality is actually hitting in that we have actually 21 00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:08,199 Speaker 2: left a year. We're going to be joined by TVA 22 00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:11,200 Speaker 2: journalist Tom Crowley in today's deep dive to look at 23 00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:14,960 Speaker 2: what happened then and what's happened since the first am 24 00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:16,160 Speaker 2: what's in the news today. 25 00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:23,000 Speaker 3: Almost one quarter of businesses experienced a cybersecurity attack in 26 00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:25,640 Speaker 3: the twenty twenty one to twenty two financial year. That's 27 00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:29,160 Speaker 3: new findings from the Australian Bureau of Statistics. This more 28 00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:31,840 Speaker 3: than doubled the eight percent figure from the twenty nineteen 29 00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:35,120 Speaker 3: to twenty financial year. The majority of attacks were scam 30 00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:39,080 Speaker 3: or fraud incidents, followed by a militia, software and unauthorized use. 31 00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:44,200 Speaker 2: At least thirty seven people have been injured following an 32 00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:47,880 Speaker 2: explosion that sparked a fire at a building in central Paris. 33 00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:51,040 Speaker 2: Over two hundred firefighters were called to the scene, which 34 00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:54,040 Speaker 2: was believed to be caused by a gas explosion. Four 35 00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:55,640 Speaker 2: people are in a critical condition. 36 00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:01,680 Speaker 3: A US government agency has sued Amazon over allegations the 37 00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:05,919 Speaker 3: tech company quote knowingly duped millions of people into Amazon Prime. 38 00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:10,120 Speaker 3: The Fair Trade Commission claims Amazon tricks customers into signing 39 00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:14,280 Speaker 3: up to automatically renewing subscriptions. Amazons say they make it 40 00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:17,200 Speaker 3: clear and simple for customers to use or cancel a 41 00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:19,240 Speaker 3: Prime membership. 42 00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:22,440 Speaker 2: And the good news. A rare all white whale has 43 00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:25,359 Speaker 2: been spotted off the coast of Queensland. The whale was 44 00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:27,800 Speaker 2: heading north when it was located near the wit Sundays 45 00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:31,600 Speaker 2: on the central Queensland coast. The sighting has spurred speculation 46 00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:34,480 Speaker 2: the whale could be Migeloo, a white whale that hasn't 47 00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:41,840 Speaker 2: been seen since twenty twenty. Tom, welcome back to the 48 00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:45,600 Speaker 2: pod on an exciting days. Seven years since bregsit happened? 49 00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:49,040 Speaker 4: Seven years I'm getting so old, Sara. How has it 50 00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:51,160 Speaker 4: been seven years since Bresit's wild? 51 00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:54,799 Speaker 2: Let's talk through it. Cast our minds back to twenty sixteen. 52 00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:58,680 Speaker 2: What was Brexit and how on earth did this thing 53 00:02:58,760 --> 00:02:59,239 Speaker 2: come about? 54 00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:03,600 Speaker 4: Exit means Britain exit from the European Union. The European 55 00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:08,880 Speaker 4: Union is a political and economic union of twenty seven countries. 56 00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:11,560 Speaker 4: What it was twenty eight of course, until Britain left. 57 00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:13,720 Speaker 4: For people who know their history, a lot of wars 58 00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:16,239 Speaker 4: have been fought between the countries of Europe, and coming 59 00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:18,040 Speaker 4: out of World War One and then World War II, 60 00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:22,200 Speaker 4: there was this desire to well never have a repeat 61 00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:25,120 Speaker 4: of that, and a theory that the way to achieve 62 00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:28,800 Speaker 4: that would be to basically all join the union together 63 00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:31,360 Speaker 4: to move closer together as countries, and so the countries 64 00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:34,839 Speaker 4: of Europe formed this kind of what is a lot 65 00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:36,720 Speaker 4: more than any other alliance that we have anywhere in 66 00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:40,000 Speaker 4: the world. We have a lot of global talk fests 67 00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:42,280 Speaker 4: like the UN and the G twenty where leaders get 68 00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:44,400 Speaker 4: together and chat. The E is more than that. It 69 00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:48,120 Speaker 4: has a government, It has a parliament, It passes laws. 70 00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:50,680 Speaker 4: It has power over the members who join the EU, 71 00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:54,440 Speaker 4: and they make decisions as a collective. In exchange for that, 72 00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:57,760 Speaker 4: they get a lot of benefits, so they can trade 73 00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:01,880 Speaker 4: freely with one another. People could move free between European countries. 74 00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:04,600 Speaker 4: Some of them share a currency, the Euro, not not 75 00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:07,120 Speaker 4: all of them, but there are lots of ways that 76 00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:09,080 Speaker 4: the members of the EU have a lot in common. 77 00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:12,480 Speaker 4: I guess the important flip side of that, to highlight 78 00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:15,400 Speaker 4: is that it does take away some power from the 79 00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:19,120 Speaker 4: national governments of these countries like France and Germany and 80 00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:22,320 Speaker 4: the UK. And there has always been a bit of 81 00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:25,800 Speaker 4: reservation in all countries in the EU about that, about 82 00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:29,080 Speaker 4: losing some of that power to a centralized government in Europe. 83 00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:31,760 Speaker 4: But I think it's fair to say that that strain 84 00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:35,280 Speaker 4: of kind of anti EU sentiment has always been particularly 85 00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:39,200 Speaker 4: strong in the UK and that's what led in twenty 86 00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:42,640 Speaker 4: sixteen to this referendum where the people of the United 87 00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:45,560 Speaker 4: Kingdom were asked basically, should we stay or should we go? 88 00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:50,680 Speaker 2: You mentioned the word referendum there, and obviously in Australia 89 00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:52,760 Speaker 2: that's been in the news a lot. We've got a 90 00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:54,920 Speaker 2: referendum at the end of this year about whether a 91 00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:58,960 Speaker 2: voice to Parliament should be enshrined in our constitution. This 92 00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:01,760 Speaker 2: is obviously a different examples. So can you just run 93 00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:05,239 Speaker 2: us through how the Brexit referendum actually worked. 94 00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:08,000 Speaker 4: Yeah, so the rules are slightly different in the UK. 95 00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:10,919 Speaker 4: I guess the first thing is that it's optional, whereas 96 00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:13,599 Speaker 4: our system is compulsory, so not everyone had to vote, 97 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,560 Speaker 4: and there's no sort of special system. In Australia, we 98 00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:19,160 Speaker 4: have quite complicated rules about the you know, the high 99 00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:22,599 Speaker 4: bar that is required for a referendum to pass. In 100 00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:24,680 Speaker 4: the UK, it was just a simple majority, you just 101 00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:28,320 Speaker 4: had to get past fifty percent, and the Leave case 102 00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:32,480 Speaker 4: did that. They got to just under fifty two percent, 103 00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:35,479 Speaker 4: so very very close, a very divided country, but fifty 104 00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:39,560 Speaker 4: two percent was enough. And I guess it's interesting to 105 00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:43,440 Speaker 4: note that there were some really clear splits across the UK. 106 00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:46,640 Speaker 4: What makes the UK quite a unique place is that 107 00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:50,919 Speaker 4: it's actually made up of four countries. England, Wales, Scotland 108 00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:54,880 Speaker 4: and Northern Ireland together make up the UK, and they 109 00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:58,520 Speaker 4: were very very different results. So England and Wales were 110 00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:03,159 Speaker 4: very strongly in favor of leaving, and Scotland and Northern 111 00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:07,080 Speaker 4: Ireland were very much in favor of remaining. But even 112 00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:09,760 Speaker 4: within that there were urban voters were much more likely 113 00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:13,880 Speaker 4: to want to stay. Younger voters and so as a result, 114 00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:16,600 Speaker 4: you know, the city of London and other cities kind 115 00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:19,240 Speaker 4: of tended to vote remain. But really the vote to 116 00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:23,320 Speaker 4: leave was driven in large part by rural England. Older voters. 117 00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:26,719 Speaker 4: Rural voters tended to push this Brexit campaign over the line, 118 00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:29,240 Speaker 4: and in the end, of course, it was a vote 119 00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:30,040 Speaker 4: to leave, So. 120 00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:33,120 Speaker 2: There was a vote, but after that it was a 121 00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:35,520 Speaker 2: hell of a bumpy road. It took over three and 122 00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:39,039 Speaker 2: a half years of negotiations and two more prime ministers 123 00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:42,599 Speaker 2: before the UK actually left the EU. What was the 124 00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:44,320 Speaker 2: political story post Brexit? 125 00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:46,839 Speaker 4: Well, you're right, Zara, it was chaos. I mean, I 126 00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:48,719 Speaker 4: think the first thing to say probably is that the 127 00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:51,920 Speaker 4: result took people by surprise. I think I remember even 128 00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:54,400 Speaker 4: people who were running the Leave campaign, I don't think 129 00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:57,080 Speaker 4: they really had planned for a scenario where they won. 130 00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:00,600 Speaker 4: And I guess it turned out that this was actually 131 00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:03,920 Speaker 4: such a simple process. It took years and years of negotiating. 132 00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:07,480 Speaker 4: It claimed the Koreas really of several prime ministers one 133 00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:10,320 Speaker 4: way or another. David Cameron who was the Prime minister 134 00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:14,400 Speaker 4: when the referendum first happened, he campaigned to stay, and 135 00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:18,720 Speaker 4: following the result he left. Theresa May followed. She had 136 00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:21,320 Speaker 4: a lot of difficulty and then she left as well. 137 00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:24,200 Speaker 4: Boris Johnson really struggled to get bregsit over the line. 138 00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:26,920 Speaker 4: He ended up sort of falling down for a bunch 139 00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:29,360 Speaker 4: of other reasons. But you know, Brexit was a big 140 00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:32,240 Speaker 4: part of his prime ministership as well. It's taken a 141 00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:36,960 Speaker 4: very very long time and it's been so politically thorny 142 00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:41,160 Speaker 4: that it has threatened to really tear apart the UK altogether. 143 00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:43,720 Speaker 4: That's the other part of this is that as I say, 144 00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:47,840 Speaker 4: Scotland and Northern Ireland voted very strongly to remain. They 145 00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:50,960 Speaker 4: were very very annoyed it essentially being forced to leave 146 00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:54,520 Speaker 4: by England, and so the pushes in both of those 147 00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:58,120 Speaker 4: countries for independence from the United Kingdom or in the 148 00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:01,120 Speaker 4: case of Northern Ireland, to join the Republic of Ireland 149 00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:03,679 Speaker 4: have gotten a lot stronger on the back of Brexit. 150 00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:07,239 Speaker 4: So it had huge ramifications in a political sense. 151 00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:12,440 Speaker 2: On the economic front, what's happened post Brexit to the UK. 152 00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:16,840 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's been fairly bad news for the economy as well. 153 00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:18,840 Speaker 4: I think it's fair to say. I mean, there are 154 00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:21,880 Speaker 4: lots of things that have been difficult for the UK's 155 00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:24,360 Speaker 4: economy in the last few years, including the pandemic, including 156 00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:26,920 Speaker 4: some of the same inflation challenges that all of us face. 157 00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:29,880 Speaker 4: So it can't be sheeted all down to Brexit, but 158 00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:33,560 Speaker 4: it's been a really, really difficult period for the UK economy. 159 00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:38,960 Speaker 4: They've been pretty stagnant since and in particular, again it 160 00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:41,959 Speaker 4: came back to this idea that you could trade freely 161 00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:46,120 Speaker 4: within Europe and now they can't do that, you know, 162 00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:49,719 Speaker 4: trading freely within Europe. That's bad news for you if 163 00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:54,720 Speaker 4: you're making say, you know, halloomi in England and you 164 00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:56,520 Speaker 4: have to compete with the hallumi producers. 165 00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:57,160 Speaker 3: Niche. 166 00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:00,640 Speaker 4: It is niche, but you know, Cyprus and and Greece, 167 00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:02,280 Speaker 4: where they make a lot of really good hallooming and 168 00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:04,520 Speaker 4: you've got to compete with them, and they can trade 169 00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:06,680 Speaker 4: freely into England and it's not great news for you, 170 00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:09,080 Speaker 4: but for British exporters, for people who are making good 171 00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:11,760 Speaker 4: British products, you get free access to all of Europe. 172 00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:14,600 Speaker 4: And one of the big export industries actually in the 173 00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:17,480 Speaker 4: UK was finance. You think of the city of London 174 00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:19,600 Speaker 4: and all the kind of you know, financial types who 175 00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:22,520 Speaker 4: live in London. That's a huge part of the UK's economy. 176 00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:26,000 Speaker 4: Was this kind of financial gateway for Americans and for 177 00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:28,320 Speaker 4: the whole world into Europe, and all of that got 178 00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:32,200 Speaker 4: a lot harder and so from an economic perspective, you know, Breggs, 179 00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:35,400 Speaker 4: it was really difficult. But I think it's worth saying 180 00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:37,840 Speaker 4: at this point because I'm conscious that this sort of 181 00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:39,800 Speaker 4: sounds like a lot of negatives that I'm listing here, 182 00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:44,000 Speaker 4: but I think it's important to recognize that that was 183 00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:48,240 Speaker 4: sort of Foreseene and Breggs. It was chosen anyway. You know, 184 00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:51,240 Speaker 4: there were some efforts from the Leave campaign to suggest 185 00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:53,360 Speaker 4: that actually it would be okay for the economy, but 186 00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:56,200 Speaker 4: in the end it was about something more than that, 187 00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:58,040 Speaker 4: and it was almost kind of, you know, forget about 188 00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:00,720 Speaker 4: the consequences for the economy. It was about making a 189 00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:06,160 Speaker 4: particular statement. I think in a sense, you know, the 190 00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:08,800 Speaker 4: UK was kind of having a bit of an existential crisis. 191 00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:09,280 Speaker 2: How am I? 192 00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:11,280 Speaker 4: Yeah, well, yeah, it's ok. You go back to the 193 00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:14,920 Speaker 4: nineteen forties fifties, end of World War Two and the 194 00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:18,240 Speaker 4: UK has been this enormous world power with a massive empire, 195 00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:21,240 Speaker 4: and then that all crumbles. You then get into the 196 00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:26,199 Speaker 4: eighties in Britain and there's this massive economic devastation. You 197 00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:28,400 Speaker 4: know sometimes in fame, anyone who's watched the Crown might 198 00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:30,880 Speaker 4: have seen the coal miners strikes in that period of time. 199 00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:35,080 Speaker 4: Manufacturing coal mining jobs that had been the backbone for 200 00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:37,720 Speaker 4: a lot of rural England too would eventually vote for Brexit. 201 00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:40,520 Speaker 4: Those jobs went and there was this sense of you know, 202 00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:43,480 Speaker 4: who are we as a nation? And the Leave campaign 203 00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:46,520 Speaker 4: I think effectively managed to channel that sort of anger 204 00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:50,160 Speaker 4: at these bureaucrats in the EU telling us what to do. 205 00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:53,199 Speaker 4: I think it was one of the Leave campaigners who 206 00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:56,119 Speaker 4: said the British people are sick and tired of experts. 207 00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:58,360 Speaker 4: During the Brexit campaign, that was kind of one of 208 00:10:58,400 --> 00:10:59,880 Speaker 4: the famous lines, and I think that kind of some 209 00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:01,760 Speaker 4: it up. It wasn't about you know, is this going 210 00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:03,800 Speaker 4: to be good or bad for the economy. It really 211 00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:07,760 Speaker 4: was a political statement that I think was the driving 212 00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:09,600 Speaker 4: factor behind that vote. 213 00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:12,360 Speaker 2: I mean, you're picking up there on a sentiment that 214 00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:15,920 Speaker 2: existed within the UK and clearly enough people felt it. 215 00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:19,800 Speaker 2: How are people feeling now about Brexit seven years on? 216 00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:26,080 Speaker 4: There is some they call it regret or regrets it. 217 00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:28,040 Speaker 2: I don't think either of those work, but you do. 218 00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:31,600 Speaker 4: Try saying them five times fast, so there is some 219 00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:34,440 Speaker 4: of that Brexit remorse. I think it was a recent 220 00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:37,280 Speaker 4: poll that suggested fifty six percent of people in Great 221 00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:40,240 Speaker 4: Britain thought it was wrong to leave. Now, if you 222 00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:43,840 Speaker 4: remember that the vote was fifty two forty eight, that's 223 00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:46,760 Speaker 4: a small jump about eight percent of people maybe who've 224 00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:49,360 Speaker 4: changed their minds since. So certainly some people who perhaps 225 00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:54,000 Speaker 4: have seen how messy it all was as it played 226 00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:56,600 Speaker 4: out and how much of a turbulent political and economic 227 00:11:56,640 --> 00:12:01,600 Speaker 4: period it's been and feel a little bit of regregs 228 00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:05,319 Speaker 4: whatever it was, regregsit. But you know, still, obviously that's 229 00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:08,520 Speaker 4: forty four percent who are still in favor whatever has 230 00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:11,160 Speaker 4: happened since. Again, as I say, I think that this 231 00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:16,080 Speaker 4: was a really complicated vote and a complicated national moment 232 00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:20,000 Speaker 4: that it's very difficult to distill simply. It's a difficult time, 233 00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:21,480 Speaker 4: and I think there are still a lot of people 234 00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:23,800 Speaker 4: who look really favorably to the Brexit result as an 235 00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:29,160 Speaker 4: example of taking control and trying to reassert some British 236 00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:32,440 Speaker 4: authority and autonomy. I think that that was really where 237 00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:35,400 Speaker 4: that push came from. So it would be really wrong 238 00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:39,240 Speaker 4: to suggest that absolutely everybody regrets for Exit. But if 239 00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:42,640 Speaker 4: you were to run the referendum again today probably would 240 00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:43,520 Speaker 4: get a different result. 241 00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:47,280 Speaker 2: Tom Thanks for joining us and making me feel old. 242 00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:48,920 Speaker 4: Thanks Sarah, I'll be back in a few months, I 243 00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:50,920 Speaker 4: guess to talk about how it's been seven years since 244 00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:52,080 Speaker 4: Trump got elected as well. 245 00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:00,959 Speaker 3: Thanks for joining us on the AliOS today.
