00:00 Now, it's just about time on aeg for me to say good-bye for the last time. I'm signing off jätan hüvasti after 23 years at BBC news. And before I go there are just a few things I wanted to say.

00:10 I know this job is personal. We come directly into your home to tell you what's happening. Good, bad, funny, sad.

00:21 And in doing my work I always consider how mõtlen selle peale, et kuidas you might be responding to the news you're hearing, and what you might want to know.

00:27 But your response to me leaving teie reaktsioon minu lahkumise teatele has been completely unexpected and I've been really touched by the wave of warmth and kindness from you. And I want to say thank you for all of your good wishes. It really has meant a lot to me.

00:40 I also want to say thank you to all of the people who have shared their stories with me, and you, over my 30 years as a journalist. Many of them have had an impact on me on mõjutanud mind and have shaped the way I see things on muutnud minu arvamust asjadest and I hope it has been the same for you.

01:54 It's why I came to journalism – to give a voice anda inimestele võimalus rääkida, lend an ear ise inimesi ära kuulata (kuulda, mida nad asjast arvavad)  and shine a light asjadele valgust heita (st teadmisi jagada).

01:02 And finally, my colleagues, past and present. I've learnt from you. I've loved working with you and I've valued your support since I started out hakkasin pihta at 22. I've never failed to be impressed alati on mind vaimustanud by the talent, skills and dedication of the people around me. We're a team but it's felt like family.

01:21 Lucky me to have had this great job, that's never felt like a job. Thank you for having me aitäh, et olite minuga, st kuulasite-vaatasite. Bye bye.
