1 00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:03,800 Speaker 1: Already and this is the Daily Oh, this is the 2 00:00:03,880 --> 00:00:15,720 Speaker 1: Daily ohs oh, now it makes sense. Good morning and 3 00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:18,360 Speaker 1: welcome to the Daily OS. It is Thursday, the sixteenth 4 00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:18,720 Speaker 1: of May. 5 00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:20,120 Speaker 2: I'm billy, I'm zara. 6 00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:23,720 Speaker 1: For the first time, someone has been imprisoned in relation 7 00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:28,320 Speaker 1: to Australia's alleged war crimes. His name is David McBride 8 00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:30,920 Speaker 1: and he didn't commit those war crimes, but he was 9 00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:34,919 Speaker 1: partly responsible for bringing them to the public's attention. He 10 00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:38,320 Speaker 1: was the whistleblower for twenty seventeen report by the ABC 11 00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:43,240 Speaker 1: that investigated alleged war crimes committed by Australian forces in Afghanistan. 12 00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:46,760 Speaker 1: And this week McBride was sentenced to nearly six. 13 00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:47,479 Speaker 2: Years in jail. 14 00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:50,360 Speaker 1: We'll tell you what you need to know in today's episode, 15 00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:53,199 Speaker 1: but before we get there, what else is making headlines Today's. 16 00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:58,120 Speaker 2: Are wages grew by four point one percent over the 17 00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:02,280 Speaker 2: year to March. That's according to this Astralian Bureau of Statistics. 18 00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:04,959 Speaker 2: And your wages have dropped slightly from the fifteen year 19 00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:08,720 Speaker 2: high reported in December of four point two percent. As 20 00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:11,600 Speaker 2: part of this week's federal budget, the Australian government projected 21 00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:14,880 Speaker 2: wage growth slow over the coming years as inflation is 22 00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:17,959 Speaker 2: expected to stabilize following two years of increases. 23 00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:23,959 Speaker 1: Students at pro Palestine encampments at the Australian National University 24 00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:27,399 Speaker 1: have been asked to clear their camps by tomorrow. The 25 00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:30,920 Speaker 1: National Tertiary Education Union has announced a snap rally at 26 00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:34,480 Speaker 1: a and U later today to protest the university's request. 27 00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:38,200 Speaker 1: It comes a day after students at Melbourne's Deacon University 28 00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:41,319 Speaker 1: were asked to dismantle their camps or risk breaching the 29 00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:43,120 Speaker 1: university's code of conduct. 30 00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:48,560 Speaker 2: Russian President Vladimir Putin is in Beijing today, where he'll 31 00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:52,680 Speaker 2: meet with his Chinese counterpart Jijingping, China's Foreign Ministry Sai. 32 00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:56,240 Speaker 2: The leaders will discuss international ties and regional issues of 33 00:01:56,240 --> 00:02:00,320 Speaker 2: common concern between the two countries. This includes antid to pay, 34 00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:03,040 Speaker 2: the talks on Russia and China's anti US stance and 35 00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:05,640 Speaker 2: Russia's ongoing invasion of Ukraine. 36 00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:10,359 Speaker 1: And today's good news. Researchers in the US have identified 37 00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:14,079 Speaker 1: three of the oldest stars to ever be recorded. Undergraduate 38 00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:17,400 Speaker 1: students at MIT worked with astronomers to discover the twelve 39 00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:21,000 Speaker 1: to thirteen billion year old stars in the Melky Way's halo. 40 00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:25,160 Speaker 1: That is a very big achievement for someone's undergraduate degree. 41 00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:30,800 Speaker 2: So, Billy, before we begin this deep dive, this is 42 00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:33,800 Speaker 2: a really complex story for a number of reasons. I 43 00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:36,880 Speaker 2: think that you know, the subject matter is very dense 44 00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:39,920 Speaker 2: and obviously quite distressing, but also the way that the 45 00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:42,480 Speaker 2: court case has played out, it's been a really long time, 46 00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:44,320 Speaker 2: So I think I just wanted to acknowledge that before 47 00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:47,079 Speaker 2: we jump into today's deep dive, because I know it's 48 00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:49,240 Speaker 2: taken us a little while to get our heads around. 49 00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:51,960 Speaker 2: But I think that a good starting point for this 50 00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:55,200 Speaker 2: story is just to explain what a whistleblower is, because 51 00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:57,600 Speaker 2: I think that that's central to understanding what our deep 52 00:02:57,639 --> 00:02:58,480 Speaker 2: dive is going to be about. 53 00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:00,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a term that we hear a lot about 54 00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:02,760 Speaker 1: in the media, but maybe if you're not in the media, 55 00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:05,040 Speaker 1: you won't hear about it as much. But it's really important. 56 00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:08,800 Speaker 1: So a whistleblower is someone usually someone in a company 57 00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:11,280 Speaker 1: or someone with close knowledge of what's going on in 58 00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:15,160 Speaker 1: a company or an institution, and that someone shares information 59 00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:20,440 Speaker 1: publicly about alleged illegal activity by that company or institution. 60 00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:23,639 Speaker 1: So those who are in favor of whistleblowers would say 61 00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:26,200 Speaker 1: that they are really important for journalists, especially when it 62 00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:30,440 Speaker 1: comes to helping journalists hold the power to account. There 63 00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:33,040 Speaker 1: have been a number of examples of when whistleblowers have 64 00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:37,560 Speaker 1: told or helped journalists tell really big stories. One really 65 00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:40,960 Speaker 1: famous example is when a former tobacco executive blew the 66 00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:44,440 Speaker 1: whistle to the US sixty minutes and he told them 67 00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:47,880 Speaker 1: that tobacco companies knew that nicotine was addictive and yet 68 00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:51,000 Speaker 1: they continued to sell cigarettes anyway. 69 00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:53,880 Speaker 2: Huge story, and that was only told because of a whistleblower. 70 00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:57,640 Speaker 2: But not everyone agrees that whistleblowing is necessarily the right 71 00:03:57,640 --> 00:03:58,600 Speaker 2: thing to do, right. 72 00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:02,080 Speaker 1: Exactly because people who against whistleblowers would say they are 73 00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:06,120 Speaker 1: breaching company rules, and they are often also breaching legal rules. 74 00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:09,040 Speaker 1: And in some cases, and certainly in this case, the 75 00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:12,480 Speaker 1: argument is that they can put national security at risk. 76 00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:17,919 Speaker 2: Yeah, so obviously an extremely divisive topic. I think you know, 77 00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:21,159 Speaker 2: us as journalists will probably be in quite a unique 78 00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:24,279 Speaker 2: position when talking about a story like this, especially compared 79 00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:26,800 Speaker 2: to the general public. I do want to go to 80 00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:29,159 Speaker 2: the story at hand, though, in the headlines that we've 81 00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:32,440 Speaker 2: seen this week, which is about David McBride, So who 82 00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:34,799 Speaker 2: is David McBride and why is he in the news? 83 00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:38,360 Speaker 1: So he is a former employee of the Australian Defense 84 00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:41,640 Speaker 1: Force also known as the ADF, and he was a 85 00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:45,960 Speaker 1: special Operations Legal officer who was deployed to Afghanistan in 86 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:49,120 Speaker 1: twenty eleven and twenty and thirteen. So he spent about 87 00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:53,080 Speaker 1: two years there. And while there, McBride became concerned that 88 00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:58,679 Speaker 1: the ADF was improperly investigating soldiers who he believed hadn't 89 00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:03,240 Speaker 1: done anything wrong. Now, he first tried to raise the 90 00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:07,080 Speaker 1: alarm internally in the ADF, but when that didn't work, 91 00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:10,880 Speaker 1: he went to the Australian Federal Police. Again, that didn't work, 92 00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:13,480 Speaker 1: and then he went to the Defense Minister. He didn't 93 00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:16,920 Speaker 1: get anywhere there, and so when all of those attempts failed, 94 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:20,960 Speaker 1: he then went to the ABC, who is Australia's public broadcaster, 95 00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:24,760 Speaker 1: and he told them about his concerns of what was 96 00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:29,760 Speaker 1: happening in the ADF. Now, McBride believed that the materials 97 00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:36,039 Speaker 1: he provided to the ABC demonstrated improper investigations of ADF soldiers. 98 00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:41,760 Speaker 2: Okay, so David McBride in the ADF, he's given materials 99 00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:44,919 Speaker 2: to the public broadcaster, to the ABC. In them, he 100 00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:48,560 Speaker 2: believes that they tell a story of the ADF improperly 101 00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:51,320 Speaker 2: investigating some of its own soldiers. 102 00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:55,480 Speaker 1: Yes, he was concerned that there were improper investigations happening, 103 00:05:55,760 --> 00:06:00,200 Speaker 1: and so he went to the ABC. However, despite what 104 00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:03,440 Speaker 1: he wanted the ABC to look at, the ABC kind 105 00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:06,680 Speaker 1: of went in a different direction. So the documents he 106 00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:12,160 Speaker 1: provided also contained evidence suggesting that Australian soldiers had allegedly 107 00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:16,720 Speaker 1: committed war crimes, and these allegations were used by the 108 00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:21,640 Speaker 1: ABC in their reporting for a twenty seventeen investigation that 109 00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:25,920 Speaker 1: they did called the Afghan Files. Now, we aren't going 110 00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:30,000 Speaker 1: to get into what they alleged happened in that investigation 111 00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:34,080 Speaker 1: because we're more focusing on the repercussions that McBride faced 112 00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:37,160 Speaker 1: for speaking out. But I do think it's worth mentioning 113 00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:40,400 Speaker 1: that an official inquiry has since found that there is 114 00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:44,000 Speaker 1: credible evidence of war crimes in Afghanistan. 115 00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:47,599 Speaker 2: Okay, So I just want to recap where we're at. 116 00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:51,479 Speaker 2: So McBride leaked these documents. He said that they were 117 00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:55,760 Speaker 2: to highlight what he believed was this improper practice that 118 00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:59,320 Speaker 2: was happening in the ADF. In doing so, there were 119 00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:03,560 Speaker 2: other things in those documents that were allegations of war 120 00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:06,680 Speaker 2: crimes that were then reported in turn by the ABC 121 00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:09,760 Speaker 2: that prompted a review. Turns out that there was some 122 00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:13,520 Speaker 2: evidence to suggest that was the case. So ultimately, David 123 00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:17,240 Speaker 2: McBride has provided the ABC with materials that have then 124 00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:20,080 Speaker 2: become about allegations of war crimes. 125 00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:22,360 Speaker 1: Great listener, thank you so much. 126 00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:24,960 Speaker 2: So these legal proceedings have been ongoing for a number 127 00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:28,240 Speaker 2: of years. What is the case against David McBride. 128 00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:33,600 Speaker 1: So in twenty eighteen, McBride was charged with offenses relating 129 00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:38,040 Speaker 1: to national security. So it is illegal to share classified 130 00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:41,480 Speaker 1: Commonwealth material and that's exactly what he did and he 131 00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:45,600 Speaker 1: was charged for that. Now, McBride has never disputed that 132 00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:49,120 Speaker 1: he was the person who leaked this material, but his 133 00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:52,520 Speaker 1: argument is that he did it in the public interest. 134 00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:54,640 Speaker 2: And what does that mean the public interest? 135 00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:57,400 Speaker 1: Well, it's another idea that we hear a lot about 136 00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:00,360 Speaker 1: in the media, and it's this concept that the public 137 00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:04,920 Speaker 1: has a right to know certain things. So in this context, 138 00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:08,160 Speaker 1: McBride is saying that whilst he acknowledges that he did 139 00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:11,000 Speaker 1: share secret material that he was not allowed to do, 140 00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:14,440 Speaker 1: he says that he felt like he had this duty 141 00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:18,840 Speaker 1: to share what he believed to be alleged illegal conduct, 142 00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:21,360 Speaker 1: and yet he thought it was his duty to make 143 00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:24,960 Speaker 1: it publicly known. And therefore he believes he was justified 144 00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:26,880 Speaker 1: in that breach and in doing what he did. 145 00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:31,640 Speaker 2: Okay, but ultimately he's charged. What happens from there. 146 00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:35,760 Speaker 1: So they go to court and McBride intended to fight 147 00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:41,520 Speaker 1: these charges and to defend himself, but early in the trial, 148 00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:45,920 Speaker 1: the court ruled that certain evidence could not be used 149 00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:50,400 Speaker 1: by McBride's lawyers because the court believed it could have 150 00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:55,240 Speaker 1: jeopardized the security and defense of Australia. Now, without this evidence, 151 00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:58,080 Speaker 1: McBride's lawyers made the decision that it would be too 152 00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:02,479 Speaker 1: hard to defend themselves, and so that resulted in McBride 153 00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:07,359 Speaker 1: pleading guilty to three charges, including theft and sharing documents 154 00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:09,880 Speaker 1: classified as secret with members of the press. 155 00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:15,040 Speaker 2: Okay, So ultimately McBride ends up pleading guilty because quite 156 00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:17,920 Speaker 2: a bit of that evidence can't actually be presented in court. 157 00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:20,880 Speaker 2: So from there we moved to sentencing and that's what 158 00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:22,280 Speaker 2: happened this week. 159 00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:25,880 Speaker 1: Yes, we got the sentencing this week. It was on Tuesday, 160 00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:30,280 Speaker 1: and the Act Supreme Court sentence McBride to nearly six 161 00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:33,160 Speaker 1: years in prison, and that sentence has a non parole 162 00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:36,960 Speaker 1: period of two years and three months. Now, I'll go 163 00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:40,920 Speaker 1: through what the judge said in part during his judgment 164 00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:44,400 Speaker 1: because I think it's important to understand the court's perspective 165 00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:47,680 Speaker 1: and making this decision. So he said that self confident 166 00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:50,800 Speaker 1: people with strong opinions who are subject to legal duties 167 00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:55,280 Speaker 1: not to disclose information must be deterred from making disclosures 168 00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:59,400 Speaker 1: in order to advance their opinions. He continued, they must 169 00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:02,480 Speaker 1: know that reaching their legal obligations will be met by 170 00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:06,360 Speaker 1: significant punishment. That is particularly so when the information is 171 00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:10,080 Speaker 1: secret and its disclosure has the potential to harm Australia's 172 00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:11,120 Speaker 1: national security. 173 00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:15,319 Speaker 2: Okay, So deterrence is the key there. That they're saying 174 00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:17,840 Speaker 2: that this needs to be a strong judgment to deter 175 00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:21,000 Speaker 2: other people from doing the same thing as David McBride. 176 00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:24,679 Speaker 1: Did, exactly, deterring future people from sharing information that could 177 00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:27,160 Speaker 1: put Australia's national security at risk. 178 00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:31,280 Speaker 2: Okay, So that's obviously the court's perspective. But if our 179 00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:34,960 Speaker 2: comment section is anything to go by, it was not 180 00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:38,760 Speaker 2: a popular decision by any means. What are some of 181 00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:40,320 Speaker 2: the reactions we've seen come out. 182 00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:43,040 Speaker 1: So one that stood out to me was by the 183 00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:46,520 Speaker 1: Human Rights Law Center being quite vocal on this. Yeah. 184 00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:50,040 Speaker 1: They pointed out that McBride is actually the first person 185 00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:54,599 Speaker 1: imprisoned in relation to Australia's war crimes. So they criticized 186 00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:57,640 Speaker 1: that the first person to be in prison for Australia's 187 00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:01,959 Speaker 1: alleged war crimes is someone who who revealed those war crimes, 188 00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:03,400 Speaker 1: not committed them. 189 00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:05,200 Speaker 2: It's a strong point there, Yeah. 190 00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:08,360 Speaker 1: Kieran Pender, who is the acting Legal director at the 191 00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:11,520 Speaker 1: Human Rights Law Center, said this is a dark day 192 00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:15,200 Speaker 1: for Australian democracy. The imprisonment of a whistleblower will have 193 00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:18,520 Speaker 1: a grave chilling effect on potential truth tellers. There is 194 00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:22,880 Speaker 1: no public interest in prosecuting whistleblowers, so he's basically saying 195 00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:26,200 Speaker 1: that this will prevent future people from coming out with 196 00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:29,320 Speaker 1: alleged illegal conduct that they believe also is in the 197 00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:30,120 Speaker 1: public interest. 198 00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:33,280 Speaker 2: One of the interesting things I saw come up quite 199 00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:35,920 Speaker 2: a bit in our comments was about the fact that 200 00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:39,960 Speaker 2: obviously David McBride is just one of many whistleblowers, another 201 00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:43,480 Speaker 2: of whom is Julian Assange, who is a fellow Australian 202 00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:46,240 Speaker 2: and there's been this whole long campaign that we've spoken 203 00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:49,120 Speaker 2: about a lot on the podcast about bringing Julian Assange 204 00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:52,320 Speaker 2: home so that he can be tried here in Australia, 205 00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:54,480 Speaker 2: and a lot of comments under the Peace were saying, 206 00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:57,079 Speaker 2: how can we expect that Julian Assange will be brought 207 00:11:57,080 --> 00:11:58,760 Speaker 2: home if this is the way that we are dealing 208 00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:00,719 Speaker 2: with whistleblowers here at home, which I just thought was 209 00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:03,920 Speaker 2: an interesting perspective and certainly broadens this to more of 210 00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:04,840 Speaker 2: a global stage. 211 00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:06,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, it feels like the whole nation is having a 212 00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:09,920 Speaker 1: really big conversation at the moment about what we do 213 00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:12,560 Speaker 1: with whistleblowers and how we treat them all. 214 00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:15,960 Speaker 2: Right, before we go, Billy, what happens next for David McBride. 215 00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:19,800 Speaker 1: So McBride goes to jail now, but his lawyers have 216 00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:23,000 Speaker 1: said that they plan to appeal this sentencing, So even 217 00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:25,760 Speaker 1: though he's going to jail now, his sentence could be 218 00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:28,560 Speaker 1: reduced if they have a successful appeal, but that is 219 00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:29,720 Speaker 1: obviously yet to be seen. 220 00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:34,640 Speaker 2: Definitely a really interesting story. And I think what you 221 00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:38,040 Speaker 2: said before from Kier and Pender about this being the 222 00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:42,600 Speaker 2: first imprisonment of anyone related to allegations of war crimes 223 00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:46,000 Speaker 2: here in Australia. It's just a really fascinating story and 224 00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:48,840 Speaker 2: definitely one that will set a precedent all around the 225 00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:50,640 Speaker 2: country and around the world. 226 00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:53,920 Speaker 1: Thank you so much for listening to this episode of 227 00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:57,000 Speaker 1: The Daily OS.
