00:46I think that everyone knows that the eyes of the world are on that region. And at the same

00:51time, the story is, what I would argue, is, as opposed to the numbers, is the fact that

01:03talked with you and we've even had some sort of fights about. And that isn't something that

01:09has been recognized, but I'll do that recognizing. And that's what the real story is. Yes, sir,
