Good afternoon everyone and thank you for joining us today. Welcome to BPs Upstream Investor Day. We are very pleased to have you with us, whether in person, over the phone or on the web. For those here in Sunbury you will have seen behind me our safety evacuation guidelines. There are more details in the safety briefing materials handed to you at reception. Were not planning to test the alarm system today, so if you hear it, please proceed as advised by these instructions. May I also ask you to turn off your mobile phones at this point. The format for the day starts with a webcast presentation providing an overview of the Group. There will then be more detailed presentations and break-outs specifically covering our Upstream which will not be webcast but for which presentation materials will be posted on our website for those not here with us today. With me on stage I have Bob Dudley, our Group Chief Executive and current Head of our Upstream business, and Brian Gilvary, our Chief Financial Officer, who will both be hosting the first part of todays proceedings in the form of this webcast.
