| 0:00.0 | The Admiral is out for her morning walk with Alfie. |
| 0:02.7 | Good morning, William. Where's your fairy friend today? |
| 0:05.4 | Curled up at home, I'm afraid. He's not feeling himself. |
| 0:08.8 | Yes, Alfie, it is a worry. |
| 0:10.9 | You don't say, a 24-hour vet line? |
| 0:16.1 | Wow. |
| 0:16.9 | With Admiral Pet Insurance, you get Poor Squad, which means impartial advice from vets on speed dial. |
| 0:22.3 | And if you cover more than one pet on our multi-pet policy, you get a 15% discount. |
| 0:27.0 | Admiral, always looking out for you. |
| 0:32.2 | Now, before we dive into today's walk, I just want to take a moment to tell you about something really important. |

| 1:19.1 | even in war. I was actually really shocked to discover just how much the odds are still stacked |
| 1:24.6 | against girls when it comes to education. 129 million girls are forced out of school worldwide due to obstacles beyond their control. |
| 1:33.3 | And it's so vital that all girls get access to learning because finishing your education |
| 1:37.9 | gives you the freedom to create the life you want and every woman deserves the right to shape |
