IN ABOUT 30 MINUTES' TIME, THE 
QUEEN IS EXPECTED TO CALL ON THE
PEOPLE OF THE UNITED KINGDOM TO 
SHOW THE SAME KEEP CALM AND 
CARRY ON DETERMINATION OF THEIR 
FORBEARERS, THANK HEALTHCARE 
WORKERS, AND RECOGNIZE THE LOSS 
AND HARDSHIP THAT SO MANY ARE 
GOING THROUGH ACROSS THE 
COMMONWEALTH.
AS I SAID, UNUSUAL TO HEAR FROM 
THE QUEEN IN THESE TIMES, BUT 
ALSO A SIGN THAT A MESSAGE OF 
SOME KIND MIGHT BE NEEDED.
ANNE MCMIMILLAN IS A FORMER 
BUREAU CHIEF AND JOINS US FROM 
LONDON.
NICE TO SEE YOU.
>> Interview: NICE TO SEE YOU.
>> Rosemary: THE QUEEN HAS NOT 
DONE THIS VERY OFTEN.
>> Interview: THIS IS ONLY THE 
THIRD TIME IN HER ENTIRE REIGN 
OF 68 YEARS THAT SHE'S SPOKEN AT
A TIME OF CRISIS.
THE FIRST ONE WAS AT THE GULF 
WAR IN 1991.
SHE TALKED ABOUT PRINCESS DIANA 
DIED.
PUBLIC OPINION WAS PRETTY 
ANTI-FAMILY AT THAT POINT.
SHE SPOKE FROM BUCKINGHAM PALACE
AND AFTER HER MOTHER'S DEATH 
FOUR YEARS LATER.
>> Rosemary: SHE SPEAKS IN A 
CHRISTMAS ADDRESS ANNUALLY, BUT 
OTHERWISE DOESN'T SPEAK ABOUT 
CURRENT EVENTS OR THINGS THAT 
MIGHT BE UNFOLDING FROM THE 
WORLD.
HOW MIGHT A MESSAGE FROM THE 
QUEEN BE REGARDED?
>> Interview: I THINK THAT'S -- 
THERE'S AN INTERESTING HEADLINE 
IN THE "SUNDAY TIMES" SAYING 
NUMBER 10 PLAYED ITS TRUMP CARD,
THE QUEEN.
WE'VE BEEN TOLD NOT TO LEAVE OUR
HOME EXCEPT TO BUY GROCERIES AND
GO TO THE DRUG STORE.
ONCE A DAY WE'RE ALLOWED TO GO 
OUT.
TODAY THE TEMPERATURE IN LONDON 
WAS 22°.
PEOPLE WERE FLOCKING TO PARKS.
IN FACT, BRITAIN'S HEALTH 
MINISTER A COUPLE OF HOURS AGO 
SAID A SMALL MINORITY OF PEOPLE 
ARE RISKING LIVES, THEIR LIVES 
AND OTHER LIVES.
HE SAID UNLESS PEOPLE STARTED 
BEHAVING RESPONSIBLY, THEY'RE 
TALKING ABOUT STOPPING PEOPLE TO
EXERCISE.
I THINK DOWNING STREET, WHICH IS
THE PRIME MINISTER'S HOME, AND 
THE GOVERNMENT FEELS THAT THIS 
IS THE TIME THAT THE QUEEN, WHO 
IS ABOVE REPROACH.
I MEAN, SHE'S GOING TO BE 94 IN 
A COUPLE OF WEEKS.
SHE'S HOLED UP AT WINDSOR CASTLE
WITH HER 98-YEAR-OLD HUSBAND, 
PRINCE PHILLIP.
PEOPLE RESPECT HER AND SHE'S 
SEEN AS A UNIFYING FORCE.
THEY'RE BASICALLY SAYING TO 
PEOPLE TO STAY CALM, KEEP CALM, 
AND CARRY ON.
>> Rosemary: THE SITUATION IN 
THE UNITED KINGDOM IS NOT A GOOD
ONE.
IT IS QUITE DIRE.
JUST SO PEOPLE REMEMBER, THERE 
ARE ABOUT 67 MILLION PEOPLE IN 
THE U.K.
THE NUMBER OF DEATHS ON SUNDAY 
IS HEADED TOWARDS 5,000.
THAT IS A VERY HIGH NUMBER.
IT IS TROUBLING FOR MANY PEOPLE.
IT IS, OF COURSE, BECAUSE FOR A 
PERIOD OF TIME IT DOESN'T SEEM 
LIKE THE UNITED KINGDOM WAS 
TAKING THE SAME APPROACH AS 
OTHER COUNTRIES, TO LOCK DOWN 
AND PRACTICE PHYSICAL 
DISTANCING.
THEY HAVE BEEN WORKING HARD TO 
CATCH UP, BUT I THINK IT'S FAIR 
TO SAY, ANNE, THAT THERE HAS 
BEEN SOME PRESSURE ON THE 
GOVERNMENT.
BORIS JOHNSON HAS COVID-19 
HIMSELF AND IS SELF-ISOLATING.
BUT THERE IS PRESSURE ON THE 
GOVERNMENT TO ACT MUCH STRONGER 
AND TO TELL THE PUBLIC TO DO 
THAT TOO.
>> Interview: THAT'S RIGHT.
THEY'RE STILL HOPING WITH MAKING
PEOPLE STAY HOME MOST OF THE 
TIME, THAT THEY WILL BE ABLE TO 
FLATTEN THE CURVE.
SO THE NATIONAL HEALTH SERVICE 
CAN BE PREPARED FOR THE BIG 
CRUNCH WHICH IS EXPECTED THE END
OF NEXT WEEK OR THE WEEK AFTER.
AT THE MOMENT THERE ARE 48,000 
CASES OF CORONAVIRUS IDENTIFIED.
PEOPLE EXPECT THAT REALLY MUCH 
WIDER WITH PEOPLE ASYMPTOMATIC 
AND HAVEN'T BEEN TESTED FOR THE 
DISEASE.
>> Rosemary: ANN MACMILLAN IN 
HER HOME.
SHE'S GOING TO STICK WITH US.
>>> LET ME GO TO ROYA NIKA, THE 
ROYAL CORRESPONDENT FOR "THE 
LONDON TIMES" ALSO JOINING US 
FROM LONDON.
WE HAVE BEEN HEARING THE QUEEN 
WILL MAKE AN ADDRESS FOR A 
WHILE.
SHE IS DOWNING STREET DECIDED 
THIS WAS THE RIGHT TIME.
WHY DO YOU THINK IT'S THE RIGHT 
MOMENT?
>> Interview: IT'S THE RIGHT 
MOMENT FOR THE REASON ANN 
MENTIONED.
LET'S NOT FORGET -- I MEAN, I'VE
BEEN BRIEFED THAT THE QUEEN 
HERSELF VERY MUCH WROTE THIS 
SPEECH.
IT'S NOT A NATIONAL ADDRESS 
WRITTEN FOR HER BY DOWNING 
STREET.
THAT SAID, THE QUEEN HAS BEEN IN
VERY CLOSE TOUCH WITH THE PRIME 
MINISTER AND THE GOVERNMENT OVER
THE LAST FEW WEEKS.
SHE'S BEEN GETTING BRIEFINGS, 
SCIENCE AND MEDICAL BRIEFINGS, 
TO UNDERSTAND THE SITUATION AS 
CLEARLY AS POSSIBLE.
I THINK THE GOVERNMENT'S VIEW 
AND I THINK PROBABLY THE QUEEN'S
VIEW IS THE NEXT WEEK WE'RE 
GOING INTO IS A CRITICAL TIME.
WE'VE HAD TWO WEEKS OF LOCKDOWN 
IN THE U.K.
THE WEATHER IS WARMING UP AND 
PEOPLE ARE GETTING LISTLESS AND 
IT'S HARDER TO STAY INDOORS.
THE RARITY OF THE QUEEN'S 
ADDRESSES, THERE HAVE ONLY BEEN 
THREE BEFORE IN A 68-YEAR REIGN 
MEANS THAT THE IMPACT IS 
ENORMOUS.
YES, WE'RE GETTING DAILY 
BRIEFINGS FROM THE GOVERNMENT 
EVERY DAY HERE, BUT THE QUEEN 
MAKING A NATIONAL ADDRESS LIKE 
THIS WILL HAVE AN IMPACT THAT 
WILL GO FAR BEYOND THAT.
I THINK THAT'S IMPORTANT FOR THE
PUBLIC AND FOR THE GOVERNMENT TO
FEEL THEY WERE ABLE TO DO THAT.
>> Rosemary: WE DON'T EXPECT THE
QUEEN TO PREACH PUBLIC HEALTH 
ADVICE.
THAT IS NOT THE GOAL OF THIS 
MESSAGE.
WHAT IS THE GOAL THEN?
>> Interview: NO.
THE PUBLIC HEALTH ADVICE COMES 
EVERY DAY FROM THE GOVERNMENT 
AND PUBLIC HEALTH ENGLAND.
I THINK THE GOAL OF THIS -- 
THERE ARE A FEW KEY GOALS.
REASSURANCE.
I THINK SHE WANTS THE NATION TO 
FEEL WE'RE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER,
BUT WE WILL GET THROUGH IT.
AND ALSO ENCOURAGEMENT.
ENCOURAGEMENT THAT PEOPLE ARE 
DOING THE RIGHT THING BY 
FOLLOWING GOVERNMENT ADVICE.
SHE'S NOT GOING TO SPELL THAT 
OUT, BUT THE QUEEN DOESN'T NEED 
TO.
IN THE LITTLE SNIPPETS THE 
PALACE HAS RELEASED TO US, THAT 
SPIRIT SHE'S GETTING ACROSS IS 
IN THE FUTURE WILL YOU BE ABLE 
TO LOOK YOUR CHILDREN AND 
GRANDCHILDREN IN THE EYE AND SAY
THAT YOU DID YOUR BEST.
THAT'S WHAT SHE'S GOING TO TALK 
ABOUT.
SHE'S GOING TO REFLECT ON HER 
OWN EXPERIENCE AT VERY DIFFICULT
TIMES, LIKE THE SECOND WORLD 
WAR, WHICH OF COURSE SHE AND HER
PARENTS LIVED THERE.
AND THE OTHER GOAL OF THIS 
ADDRESS, THIS IS A WOMAN WHO IS 
GOING TO BE 94 SOON.
SHE REALLY HAS SEEN IT ALL.
SHE HAS A LIFE EXPERIENCE OF 
HISTORY THAT VERY FEW OF US 
HAVE.
I THINK THE HOPE IS THAT PEOPLE 
YOUNG AND OLD WILL BE ABLE TO 
DRAW ON THAT.
>> Rosemary: YOU MENTIONED HER 
AGE, ABOUT TO BE 94.
HER HUSBAND NOT IN THE BEST OF 
HEALTH AT 98.
I REALIZE IT'S EASIER FOR THEM 
TO PHYSICALLY DISTANCE 
THEMSELVES THAN THE REST OF US, 
BUT IT IS TRUE THAT THEY WOULD 
BE AMONGST THE VULNERABLE PEOPLE
IF THEY WERE TO GET THE VIRUS.
I WONDER IF THERE IS SOME 
REFLECTION INSIDE THE ROYAL 
FAMILY ON THAT WELL.
>> Interview: THE ROYAL FAMILY 
HAVE NOT BEEN EXEMPT.
THE PRINCE OF WALES HAS JUST 
RECOVERED FROM COVID-19.
WE KNOW THIS ADDRESS THE QUEEN 
IS MAKING WAS FILMED IN THE MOST
EXTRAORDINARY CIRCUMSTANCES.
IT WAS FILMED BY THE BBC BUT 
WITH ONLY ONE CAMERAMAN WEARING 
FULLY PROTECTIVE GEAR AND THE 
WHOLE REST OF THE CREW IN 
ANOTHER ROOM DIRECTED BY 
SPEAKERS.
THAT'S HOW MUCH CARE AND 
PRECAUTION IS TAKEN BY THE QUEEN
WHO IS 94 AND IN THAT VULNERABLE
CATEGORY.
SHE HAS BEEN SELF-ISOLATING AT 
WINDSOR CASTLE SINCE MID-MARCH.
>> Rosemary: I'M GOING TO LEAVE 
IT THERE, BUT WE'LL COME BACK TO
YOU OF COURSE.
THANKS FOR ALL THAT INSIGHT.
EVEN BEFORE SHE BECAME MONARCH, 
QUEEN ELIZABETH HAS BEEN, AS 
WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT, A 
STEADFAST AND CALMING VOICE FOR 
THE UNITED KINGDOM.
HERE ARE SOME EXAMPLES FROM OUR 
RADIO ARCHIVES, STARTING WITH A 
RADIO ADDRESS FROM A 14-YEAR-OLD
PRINCESS ELIZABETH.
>> THOSE OF US ASKED TO STAY AT 
HOME, THINK OF OUR RELATIONS WHO
HAVE GONE OVERSEAS, WHO HAVE 
TRAVELLED THOUSANDS OF MILES TO 
FIND A WAR TIME HOME AND ARE 
KINDLY WELCOME IN CANADA.
IT'S INEVITABLE THAT I SHOULD 
SEEM A RATHER REMOTE FIGURE TO 
MANY OF YOU.
A SUCCESSOR TO THE KINGS AND 
QUEENS OF HISTORY.
SOMEONE WHOSE FACE MAY BE 
FAMILIAR IN NEWSPAPERS AND 
FILMS, BUT WHO NEVER REALLY 
TOUCHES YOUR PERSONAL LIVES.
BUT NOW AT LEAST FOR A FEW 
MINUTES, I WELCOME YOU TO THE 
PEACE OF MY OWN HOME.
100 YEARS OF CONFEDERATION.
WHAT A SIMPLE STATEMENT, BUT 
WHAT A REMARKABLE CHAPTER IN 
CANADA'S HISTORY.
IT IS ALL TOGETHER RIGHT AND 
FITTING THAT SOVEREIGN PEOPLE 
SHOULD MEET TOGETHER HERE AT THE
HEART AND CENTRE OF CANADIAN 
EXISTENCE, TO GIVE THANKS ON 
THIS GREAT OCCASION.
1992 IS NOT A YEAR ON WHICH I 
SHALL LOOK BACK WITH UNDILUTED 
PLEASURE.
WORDS OF ONE OF MY MORE 
SYMPATHETIC CORRESPONDENTS, IT 
HAS TURNED OUT TO BE HORRIBLE.
>> Rosemary: JUST SOME OF THE 
SPEECHES THE QUEEN HAS GIVEN 
OVER THE YEARS, BUT NONE OF THEM
LIKE THE MESSAGE WE'RE GOING TO 
SEE TODAY.
AS WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT, A 
KIND OF ADDRESS TO THE NATION 
THAT HAS REALLY ONLY BEEN DONE A
HANDFUL OF TIMES AND IN 
PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES.
ROBERT HERDMAN IS AUTHOR OF 
"QUEEN OF THE WORLD."
HE JOINS US FROM LONDON.
GOOD TO SEE YOU.
>> Interview: HELLO.
>> Rosemary: AGAIN, WE'VE BEEN 
TALKING ABOUT THE EXTRAORDINARY,
UNPRECEDENTED MOMENT WE ARE IN 
AND THE QUEEN TAKING THIS IN AN 
UNPRECEDENTED WAY.
HOW IMPORTANT DO YOU THINK IT IS
FOR THE PEOPLE OF THE 
UNITED KINGDOM BUT ALSO 
POTENTIALLY THE WORLD, TO HEAR 
FROM HER TODAY?
>> Interview: I THINK IT REALLY 
IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE THERE IS NO
OTHER WORLD LEADER QUITE LIKE 
ELIZABETH II.
HERE YOU HAVE THE ONLY SERVING 
HEAD OF STATE WHO WORE A UNIFORM
IN THE SECOND WORLD WAR.
IT'S 80 YEARS SINCE SHE MADE HER
FIRST BROADCAST, AS YOU ALLUDED 
TO THERE.
WE HEARD HER AS A YOUNG PRINCESS
ADDRESSING YOUNG EVACUEES IN THE
1940s.
HERE SHE IS 80 YEARS LATER 
EFFECTIVELY REASSURING US TO 
THIS DAY.
IT'S UNPARALLELED.
>> Rosemary: THAT IS BY VIRTUE 
FOR THE FACT OF HOW LONG SHE'S 
BEEN AROUND AND HOW IMPORTANT A 
FIGURE SHE'S BEEN.
HOW WILL THIS BE DIFFERENT, DO 
YOU THINK, THIS MESSAGE, GIVEN 
THAT THIS IS -- PANDEMICS HAVE 
HAPPENED BEFORE, BUT THIS IS 
DIFFERENT.
SO HOW DIFFERENT DO YOU THINK 
THIS MESSAGE WILL BE?
>> Interview: WELL, I THINK SHE 
IS PROBABLY BETTER-PLACED THAN 
ANYONE ELSE TO PUT IT IN 
PERSPECTIVE, JUST AS YOU SAY, 
BECAUSE SHE HAS BEEN AROUND SO 
LONG.
SHE IS THE LONGEST-SERVING 
MONARCH WE'VE EVER HAD.
I THINK THERE'S A CONCERN THAT 
WE DON'T OVERDO THE WAR TIME 
ANALOGIES IS WHAT I'VE BEEN 
PICKING UP IN RECENT WEEKS.
THIS IS A 21st CENTURY THING AND
WE NEED TO KEEP A MODERN 
PERSPECTIVE.
I HOPE WE GET A SENSE OF THAT.
I CAN'T THINK BACK TO A TIME 
WHEN A SPEECH BY THE QUEEN HAS 
BEEN SO EAGERLY ANTICIPATED.
I THINK IT'S EXACTLY WHAT PEOPLE
NEED.
THE STATISTICS AND THE DATA 
EVERY DAY IS GETTING WORSE AND 
WORSE HERE IN BRITAIN AS IT IS 
IN MANY PARTS OF THE WORLD.
THERE IS ONLY ONE PERSON WHO 
PEOPLE TRUST AT TIMES LIKE THIS.
THE POLITICIANS ARE DOING THEIR 
BEST, BUT WHAT WE'RE WAITING TO 
HEAR FROM THE ONE PERSON WHO CAN
MAKE US FEEL BETTER. 
>> Rosemary: IN THE PAST THE 
QUEEN HAS BEEN CRITICIZED FOR 
HAVING TOO STIFF AN UPPER LIP.
CERTAINLY AFTER THE DEATH OF 
DIANA THAT WAS THE CASE.
IS SHE NOW THAT PERSON AND WILL 
WE BE ABLE TO HEAR SOME OF THAT 
DO YOU THINK TODAY?
>> Interview: WELL, YES.
YOU MENTION THE REACTION AFTER 
THE DEATH OF DIANA AND THERE WAS
A PERCEPTION THAT THE QUEEN WAS 
TOO REMOTE BECAUSE SHE WAS UP AT
BALMORAL.
IT WAS THE MOMENT SHE MADE A 
BROADCAST.
IT WAS VERY MUCH HER.
SHE DIDN'T CHANGE HER STYLE OR 
TONE.
THE MINUTE PEOPLE SAW THE QUEEN,
HEARD HER VOICE, HEARD THAT 
REASSURING SENSE OF STABILITY 
AND CONTINUITY, IT TOTALLY 
CHANGED THE PICTURE.
I THINK WE'LL GET A SENSE AGAIN 
OF THAT TONIGHT.
I THINK IN A FEW MOMENTS' TIME 
YOU'RE GOING TO HEAR A VOICE OF 
UNPARALLELED EXPERIENCE ON THE 
WORLD STAGE.
>> Rosemary: ALL RIGHT 
APPROXIMATE.
ROBERT, WE WILL ALSO COME BACK 
TO YOU.
THANK YOU FOR THAT GOOD 
PERSPECTIVE.
APPRECIATE IT.
WE ARE STANDING BY.
IN 15 MINUTES THE QUEEN WILL BE 
SPEAKING FROM WINDSOR CASTLE.
THIS HAS BEEN PRERECORDED.
IT HAPPENED ON THURSDAY IN SOME 
EXTRAORDINARY CIRCUMSTANCES.
IT WON'T BE A LONG MESSAGE, BUT 
WE ARE SETTING OUT HOW UNUSUAL 
IT IS FOR THE QUEEN TO ISSUE 
THIS TYPE OF MESSAGE.
HER RELATIONSHIP WITH CANADA HAS
BEEN A WARM ONE.
THIS PLACE HAS BEEN A FAVOURITE 
OF HERS AND THE ROYAL FAMILY.
SHE HAS MADE 22 OFFICIAL VISITS.
THE CROWDS HAVE BEEN THERE FOR 
EVERY SMILE, WAVE, AND SPEECH.
>> INDUSTRY AND COMMERCE BELONG 
WELL TO A COUNTRY, BUT THE 
CHARACTER OF THE NATION IS 
FORMED BY OTHER FACTORS.
RACE, LANGUAGE, RELIGION, 
CULTURE, AND TRADITION ALL HAVE 
SOME CONTRIBUTION TO MAKE.
WHEN I THINK OF THE DIVERSITY OF
THESE FACTORS IN CANADA TODAY 
AND THE ACHIEVEMENTS THAT HAVE 
GROWN FROM THEIR UNION, I FEEL 
PROUD AND HAPPY TO BE QUEEN OF 
SUCH A NATION.
>> Rosemary: IN 1957, THE QUEEN 
TOOK HER FIRST TRIP TO CANADA AS
QUEEN, WHERE SHE OPENED THE 23RD
ALTAR.
SHE RETURNED TWO YEARS LATER TO 
OPEN THE ST. LAWRENCE SEAWAY.
DURING THAT SIX-WEEK TRIP SHE 
VISITED EVERY PROVINCE AND 
TERRITORY.
>> Announcer: THE RECEPTION WAS 
COOL.
A FEW BOOS AND HISSES AND THIS 
POLICE REACTION. 
>> Rosemary: THE QUEEN RECEIVED 
A VERY DIFFERENT WELCOME WHEN 
SHE VISITED QUÉBEC CITY IN 1964.
SHE WAS MET, AS YOU HEARD THERE,
CROWDS OF BOOING SEPARATISTS.
SEVERAL WERE ARRESTED AND THE 
DAY BECAME KNOWN AS TRUNCHEON 
SATURDAY.
THREE DAYS LATER THE QUEEN WAS 
HERE IN OTTAWA FOR CANADA'S 
CENTENNIAL BEFORE ZIPPING OVER 
TO MONTREAL FOR EXPO 67.
SHE OPENED THE 1976 MONTREAL 
OLYMPICS BEFORE NERVOUSLY WATCH 
HER DAUGHTER, PRINCESS ANNE, 
COMPETE IN THE EQUESTRIAN 
THREE-DAY EVENT.
>> TODAY I HAVE PROCLAIMED THIS 
NEW CONSTITUTION, ONE THAT IS 
TRULY CANADIAN AT LAST. 
>> Rosemary: THE QUEEN WAS AGAIN
IN OTTAWA IN 1982 FOR A 
REMARKABLE MOMENT ON APRIL 17.
SHE SIGNED CANADA'S NEW 
CONSTITUTION AND ENSHRINED THE 
CHARTER OF RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS.
IT ALLOWED US TO CHANGE OUR 
CONSTITUTION WITHOUT BRITAIN'S 
PERMISSION.
>> I AM NOT JUST A FAIR-WEATHER 
FRIEND AND I AM GLAD TO BE HERE 
ON THIS SENSITIVE TIME.
>> Rosemary: ON HER VISIT IN 
1990, THE QUEEN PLED FOR UNITY 
ONE WEEK AFTER THE MEECH LAKE 
ACCORD.
THAT WAS TO ENDORSE CANADA'S 
CONSTITUTION TO BE REPATRIATED, 
BUT IN THE END QUÉBEC REFUSED TO
RATIFY.
IN 2002, THE QUEEN STARTED HER 
12-DAY GOLDEN JUBILEE TOUR IN 
IQALUIT.
THAT TRIP TOOK HER TO VANCOUVER 
WHERE SHE DROPPED A PUCK AND SHE
STOPPED BY THE CBC BROADCAST 
CENTRE IN TORONTO FOR A VISIT.
IN 2010, QUEEN ELIZABETH VISITED
CANADA FOR NINE DAYS.
SHE ATTENDED A STATE DINNER AT 
THE FAMED ROYAL YORK HOTEL.
SO SHE'S BEEN HERE A FEW TIMES.
BRIAN STEWART IS A FORMER CBC 
CORRESPONDENT AND HE JOINS US 
FROM TORONTO.
GOOD TO SEE YOU, BRIAN.
>> Interview: GOOD TO SEE YOU.
>> Rosemary: WE'VE ALL BEEN 
TALKING ABOUT HOW IMPORTANT IT 
IS TO HEAR FROM THE QUEEN.
WOULD YOU SAY THAT IS THE BELIEF
NO MATTER HOW OLD YOU ARE OR 
WHAT YOUR RELATIONSHIP IS TO THE
QUEEN?
I'M JUST TRYING TO GET A SENSE 
OF HOW IMPORTANT THIS MESSAGE IS
FOR EVERYONE OR IF THERE ARE 
PEOPLE WHO WON'T HEAR IT THE WAY
IT IS INTENDED?
>> Interview: WELL, YOU KNOW, 
SHE'S SO MUCH A PART, NOT JUST 
OF OUR TIME AND OUR CENTURY -- I
SAW HER IN 1948 OR 1949 WHEN SHE
CAME THROUGH HALIFAX, THE 
PRINCESS.
I WAS A LAD OF 10 YEARS OLD.
MY DAD CAME HOME FROM WORK AND 
SAID, THE KING IS DEAD.
WE NOW HAVE A QUEEN.
I'VE HEARD HER GIVE THOSE THREE 
ADDRESSES TO THE NATION BEFORE.
SHE'S ALWAYS BEEN THERE, THAT 
ONE FIGURE THAT IS ALWAYS 
RELIABLE.
NO MATTER WHAT THE CRISIS IS, 
SHE COMES OUT, PATS OUR BACKS, 
TELLS US TO BE PROUD AND TAKE 
PRIDE IN WHAT WE'VE DONE AND 
GIVE PRAISE TO THOSE WHO SERVE 
THE STATE WELL.
WE LIVE IN AN AGE OF UNKNOWNS.
EVERYTHING IS UNKNOWN NOW.
SHE'S THE KNOWN KNOWN OF OUR 
TIME.
IT WAS LOVELY LISTENING TO THOSE
INTERVIEWS BEFORE, HOW MUCH 
PEOPLE COULD ANTICIPATE WHAT 
SHE'S GOING TO SAY.
HOW IT'S GOING TO MOULD WITH THE
PUBLIC VERY WELL.
THERE'S SOMETHING REALLY 
COMFORTING IN KNOWING HOW 
SOMEBODY IS GOING TO TALK AND 
LARGELY WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO 
SAY, BUT ALSO THAT SHE MEANS IT 
BECAUSE SHE'S BEEN AROUND SO 
LONG, SHE'S SEEN EVERYTHING.
>> Rosemary: WE TALKED WITH ANN 
AND ROYYA, ABOUT HOW THE 
GOVERNMENT IS USING HER AS THEIR
TRUMP CARD.
BECAUSE THE GOVERNMENT IS UNDER 
PRESSURE FOR HOW THEY'VE BEEN 
HANDLING THE PANDEMIC.
DO YOU SEE THE POLITICAL USE OF 
THE QUEEN IN THIS INSTANCE, EVEN
THOUGH THEY'VE BOTH AGREED TO 
THIS?
>> Interview: THE QUEEN HAS BEEN
THE TRUMP CARD FOR ANY 
GOVERNMENT THAT'S SAT.
SHE KNOWS HER JOB VERY WELL.
THE GOVERNMENTS DON'T HAVE TO 
TELL HER WHAT TO SAY.
HER SPEECH WRITER FOR TODAY, I'M
SURE SHE WRITES A LOT OF IT 
HERSELF.
IT'S EXPLANATION FROM GOVERNMENT
WHAT TO SAY.
SHE KNOWS VERY WELL WHAT'S 
NEEDED AT THIS TIME.
YES, THE GOVERNMENT IS IN 
TROUBLE, BUT I THINK MUCH MORE 
IMPORTANT THAN THAT, I THINK THE
PEOPLE OF THE UNITED KINGDOM 
WANT TO HEAR FROM HER BECAUSE 
THEY'RE VERY NERVOUS.
THEY HAVE A RIGHT TO BE.
EVERYONE IS NERVOUS.
THEY ARE LIVING, AS WE ARE, 
THROUGH A CRISIS THAT WE HAVE 
NEVER SEEN BEFORE.
I HAVE SEEN A LOT OF THEM, BUT 
NOTHING QUITE LIKE THIS.
I THINK THIS IS EXACTLY THE TIME
THAT THE COMFORTING FIGURE OF 
THE QUEEN COMING FORTH TO TELL 
US, WE COME FROM GREAT BRAVE 
PEOPLE, WE'VE ALWAYS BEEN BRAVE,
WE'RE GOING TO BE BRAVE THIS 
TIME.
WE HAVE WONDERFUL PEOPLE WORKING
TO SAVE OUR LIVES.
THERE IS NO WAY PEOPLE COULD 
THINK OTHERWISE.
>> Rosemary: YOU ALLUDED TO YOUR
EXPERIENCE AND THE THINGS YOU'VE
SEEN.
YOU'VE SEEN A LOT.
HOW DOES THIS COMPARE?
AND I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S THE 
RIGHT QUESTION, BUT HOW ARE YOU 
SORT OF LIVING AND WATCHING THIS
BECAUSE IT IS SOMETHING THAT IS 
UNPRECEDENTED?
>> Interview: THIS IS UNLIKE ANY
CRISIS.
I GO BACK TO THE CUBAN MISSILE 
CRISIS AND FURTHER WATCHING AND 
WORKING AS A REPORTER.
NOTHING, NOTHING LIKE THIS.
THIS AFFECTS EVERYBODY LIKE A 
SCIENCE FICTION DRAMA ALMOST.
IT IS AN UNSEEN ENEMY COMING.
IT CAN AFFECT AND THREATEN 
ANYONE, FROM ANYONE LISTENING 
THIS TO THE QUEEN HERSELF.
IT'S JUST UNLIKE ANYTHING.
I THINK THE SENSE OF 
NERVOUSNESS, WHAT ARE WE DEALING
WITH, HOW LONG IS IT GOING TO 
LAST, WHO IS IT GOING TO AFFECT?
WHAT DO I DO TO KEEP SAFE.
ALL OF THAT MAKES IT A UNIQUE 
CRISIS UNLIKE ANY SEEN BEFORE. 
>> Rosemary: LET ME ASK FOR YOUR
REFLECTIONS ON THE LEADERSHIP WE
ARE SEEING OR NOT SEEING AT THIS
TIME.
THERE IS -- THERE DOES SEEM TO 
BE AN INCLINATION AT LEAST SOUTH
OF THE BORDER TO BE FURTHER 
PROTECTIONIST AND INSULAR.
OTHER COUNTRIES ARE TRYING TO 
HELP EACH OTHER.
I WONDER HOW YOU MAKE THE 
QUEEN'S LEADERSHIP FITTING INTO 
A CHANGING DYNAMIC IN THE WORLD 
RIGHT NOW.
>> Interview: YES.
I DON'T THINK ANYONE CLEARLY 
UNDERSTANDS WHERE THIS IS TAKING
US.
IT'S GOING TO BE A NEW WORLD 
JUST A FEW MONTHS FROM NOW.
I THINK THE AGE OF GLOBALIZATION
IS COMING UNDER SOME QUESTION.
GOVERNMENTS ARE LOOKING AFTER 
THEIR OWN FIRST.
PEOPLE ARE THINKING OF 
THEMSELVES FIRST.
I THINK THE QUEEN'S MESSAGE IS 
VERY MUCH TO REMEMBER OUR 
NEIGHBOURS AND REMEMBER THAT 
WE'RE ALSO RESPONSIBLE FOR EACH 
OTHER.
I THINK IN A VAGUE WAY WHILE 
INTERNATIONAL RELATIONSHIPS HAVE
BEEN REALLY IN MANY WAYS 
SHATTERED IN THIS, THEY ARE 
STARTING TO BE REBUILT IN WAYS 
THAT ARE CRITICALLY IMPORTANT.
NATIONS ARE GOING TO HAVE TO SAY
WE NEED TO UNDERSTAND WHAT WENT 
WRONG HERE AND WE NEED TO MAKE 
SURE WE NEVER GET INTO THIS 
POSITION, THIS PICKLE AGAIN.
WE'RE GOING TO SEE A RISE OF A 
NEW FORM OF COOPERATION THAT'S 
GOING TO CHANGE I THINK THE 
WORLD FUNDAMENTALLY OVER THE 
NEXT YEAR OR TWO.
>> Rosemary: BRIAN STEWART, GOOD
TO SEE YOU.
LET ME GO BACK TO ANN MACMILLAN,
A FORMER CBC BUREAU CHIEF, FROM 
HER HOME IN LONDON.
HOW ARE PEOPLE IN THE 
UNITED KINGDOM COPING?
THE COUPLE TIMES YOU ARE LET OUT
OF YOUR HOUSE, HOW DO PEOPLE 
SEEM TO BE DOING?
ARE THEY AWARE OF THE 
SERIOUSNESS OR NOT THERE YET?
>> Interview: I THINK MOST 
PEOPLE DO.
I THINK THE HEALTH MINISTER SAID
A SMALL MINORITY ARE TAKING 
RISKS THAT ENDANGER THEIR LIVES 
AND THOSE AROUND THEM.
MOST PEOPLE ARE OBEYING.
I LIVE IN A SPACE OF LONDON THAT
HAS GREEN SPACE AND PEOPLE STEP 
BACK AND GIVE ME SPACE.
PEOPLE AREN'T AFRAID TO SAY, NO,
NO DON'T WALK TOO CLOSE 
OTHERWISE OUR PARK WILL BE 
CLOSED.
THE FACILITIES KEEP GETTING 
EXPANDED, THE MEDICAL 
FACILITIES.
PEOPLE ARE AWARE OF THAT.
THE GOVERNMENT HAS BEEN QUITE 
GOOD LATELY PASSING THE MESSAGE 
ON FORCEFULLY.
>> Rosemary: THE HEALTH SYSTEM 
IS UNDER PRESSURE AND FEARING A 
SURGE IF IT WILL HAVE CAPACITY 
TO HANDLE A SURGE.
THEY ARE UNDER PRESSURE TO 
FOLLOW THE PHYSICAL DISTANCING 
RULES.
DO WE HAVE A SENSE WHETHER THE 
HEALTH SYSTEM WILL BE ABLE TO 
HANDLE THIS OR WHAT THEY ARE 
DOING TO PREPARE?
>> Interview: I THINK EACH 
PASSING DAYS WE ARE GETTING MORE
AND MORE VENTILATORS.
ONE OF THE FORMULA 1 COMPANIES, 
MERCEDES BENZ, HAS WORKED WITH 
IMPERIAL COLLEGE AND THEY HAVE 
DEVELOPED VENTILATORS THAT ARE 
BEING PUSHED OUT AT AN 
INCREASING RATE.
THE TESTS WHICH ARE A BIG 
PROBLEM HERE, THEY HAVEN'T DONE 
AS MANY AS THEY SHOULD.
THEY ARE RAMPING THAT UP, THE 
GOVERNMENT.
THEY ARE TESTING HEALTH WORKERS 
PARTICULARLY.
I THINK GRADUALLY THERE IS MORE 
BED CAPABILITY.
A HUGE AREA IN LONDON HAS BEEN 
OPENED UP TO THOUSANDS OF BEDS.
THEY'RE GOING TO BE IN PLACES 
ALL OVER BRITAIN, CONFERENCE 
CENTRES WILL TURN INTO EMERGENCY
WARDS.
SO I THINK IT'S RAMPING UP, BUT 
IT'S A QUESTION OF WHETHER IT'S 
RAMPED UP ENOUGH WHEN WE GET TO 
THE PEAK.
>> Rosemary: YOU HAVE BEEN 
SELF-ISOLATING FOR FIVE WEEKS I 
THINK, WHICH IS LONGER THAN MOST
PEOPLE THERE.
HOW HAVE YOU BEEN COPING WITH 
ALL THAT?
>> Interview: NOT BAD.
OUR CHILDREN ARE WORRIED BECAUSE
MY HUSBAND IS NEARLY 82 AND HE 
HAS UNDERLYING HEALTH ISSUES.
I'M NO SPRING CHICKEN.
THEY SAID THEY WOULD BE HAPPIER 
IF WE CLOSED THE DOOR.
WE DID THAT.
WE HAVE LOCAL SHOPS THAT 
DELIVER.
WE HAVE WONDERFUL NEIGHBOURS WHO
PHONE US IF THEY'RE GOING TO THE
GROCERY STORE.
WE HAVE A GARDEN.
I HAVE BEEN DIGGING AWAY.
READING A LOT, TRYING TO DO 
STUFF AROUND THE HOUSE.
WE TALK A LOT TO OUR KIDS AND 
FRIENDS ON FACEBOOK AND ZOOM, 
OUR NEW THING.
SO WE'RE COPING.
YOU CAN SEE WHY PEOPLE ARE 
GETTING RESTLESS.
WHEN THE SUN IS SHINING AND THE 
BIRDS ARE SINGING, YOU WANT TO 
GET OUTSIDE.
>> Rosemary: THAT IS NOT WHAT WE
WILL HEAR FROM THE QUEEN, EVEN 
THOUGH SHE CAN GO AROUND HER 
EXPANSIVE PROPERTY AT WINDSOR 
CASTLE AND NOT BUMP INTO ANYONE 
OR ANYTHING.
I WILL ASK YOU THIS.
DO YOU FEEL THE QUEEN HAS THE 
SAME IMPORTANCE AND THIS MESSAGE
WILL HAVE THE SAME IMPORTANCE TO
ALL GENERATIONS, TO NEW 
ARRIVALS, TO PEOPLE WHO DON'T 
HAVE THE SAME SORT OF HISTORY IN
THE UNITED KINGDOM?
DOES IT HAVE THE SAME WEIGHT?
>> Interview: I THINK IT DOES.
I SUSPECT THE YOUNGER 
GENERATION, TEENS AND EARLY 20s 
MIGHT NOT TAKE IT QUITE SO 
SERIOUSLY AS SOME OF US.
BUT THE OLDER GENERATION, THOSE 
OF US IN THE FIRING LINE, WILL 
BE LISTENING WITH ABSOLUTE AND 
FULL ATTENTION.
THEY'LL BE QUITE WRAPPED.
BECAUSE AS WE'RE SAYING, THIS IS
A RARE OCCASION.
WE'VE BEEN GIVEN A LOT OF TIPS 
WHAT THE QUEEN IS GOING TO SAY.
I WON'T SPOIL HER SPEECH BY 
GIVING YOU LOTS OF LINES THAT 
WERE RELEASED.
ONE THING THE QUEEN IS GOING TO 
SAY IS SHE'S GOING TO URGE 
PEOPLE TO SHOW SELF-DISCIPLINE 
AND RESOLVE.
SO, IN OTHER WORDS, PLEASE 
LISTEN TO THE GUIDELINES AND 
OBEY THEM. 
>> Rosemary: THANK YOU, ANN, FOR
THAT.
WE WILL BE BACK TO YOU AS WELL.
SELF-DISCIPLINE AND RESOLVE, TWO
THINGS THAT WELL DESCRIBE THE 
QUEEN THAT SHE HERSELF EMBODIES.
SHE WILL TELL PEOPLE IN THE 
UNITED KINGDOM AND IN THE 
COMMONWEALTH THAT SHE WANTS 
OTHERS TO PRACTICE THAT AS WELL.
WE ARE WAITING TO HEAR FROM 
QUEEN ELIZABETH.
THIS IS A FAIRLY RARE EVENT THAT
IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN HERE AS WE 
ADDRESSES THE KINGDOM AND US 
ALL.
[ Please Stand By ]
>> THIS WAS SHOT LAST THURSDAY
AT WINDSOR CASTLE WITH ONE
CAMERAMAN IN THE ROOM, FULLY
PROTECTED AND NOW, LET US GO TO
HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN FOR THE
UNITED KINGDOM AND THE
COMMONWEALTH.
>> Queen Elizabeth II: I'M
SPEAKING TO YOU AT WHAT I KNOW
IS A INCREASINGLY CHALLENGING
TIME.
A TIME IN THE DISRUPTION IN THE
LIFE OF COUNTRY AND A DISRUPTION
THAT'S BROUGHT GRIEF TO SOME,
FINANCIAL DIFFICULTIES TO MANY
AND ENORMOUS CHANGES TO THE
DAILY LIVES OF US ALL.
I WANT TO THANK EVERYONE ON THE
N.H.S. FRONT LINE, AS WELL AS
CARE WORKERS AND THOSE CARRYING
OUT ESSENTIAL ROLES WHO
SELFISHLY CONTINUE THEIR
DAY-TO-DAY DUTIES OUTSIDE THE
HOME IN SUPPORT OF US ALL.
I'M SURE THE NATION WILL JOIN ME
IN ASSURING YOU, THAT WHAT YOU
DO IS APPRECIATED AND EVERY HOUR
OF YOUR HARD WORK BRINGS US
CLOSER TO A RETURN TO MORE
NORMAL TIMES.
I ALSO WANT TO THANK THOSE OF
YOU WHO ARE STAYING AT HOME,
THERE BY HELPING PROTECT THE
VULNERABLE AND SPARING MANY
FAMILIES THE PAIN ALREADY FELT
BY THOSE WHO HAVE LOST LOVED
ONES.
TOGETHER, WE ARE TACKLING THIS
DISEASE AND I WANT TO REASSURE
YOU, THAT IF WE REMAIN UNITED
AND RESOLUTE, THEN WE WILL
OVERCOME IT.
I HOPE IN THE YEARS TO COME,
EVERYONE WILL BE ABLE TO TAKE
PRIDE IN HOW THEY RESPONDED TO
THIS CHALLENGE.
THOSE WHO COME AFTER US, WILL
SAY THE BRITAINS OF THIS
GENERATION WERE AS STRONG AS
ANY.
THE ATTRIBUTES OF
SELF-DISCIPLINE, OF QUIET, GOOD
HUMAN RESOLVE AND A FELLOW
FEELING STILL CHARACTERIZES
COUNTRY.
THE PRIDE IN WHO WE ARE IS NOT A
PART OF OUR PAST, IT DEFINES OUR
PRESENT AND OUR FUTURE.
 [APPLAUSE]
THE MOMENTS WHEN THE UNITED
KINGDOM HAS COME TOGETHER TO
APPLAUD ITS CARE AND ESSENTIAL
WORKERS, WILL BE REMEMBERED AS
AN EXPRESSION OF OUR NATIONAL
SPIRIT AND ITS SYMBOL WILL BE
THE RAINBOWS DRAWN BY CHILDREN.
ACROSS THE COMMONWEALTH AND
AROUND THE WORLD, WE HAVE SEEN
HEARTWARMING STORIES OF PEOPLE
COMING TOGETHER TO HELP OTHERS.
BE IT THROUGH DELIVERING FOOD
PARCELS AND MEDICINES, CHECKING
ON NEIGHBOURS, OR CONVERTING
BUSINESSES TO HELP THE RELIEF
EFFORT.
AND THOSE SELF-ISOLATING MAY AT
TIMES MAY BE HARD, MANY PEOPLE
OF ALL FAITHS AND OF NONE ARE
DISCOVERING THAT IT PRESENTS AN
OPPORTUNITY TO SLOW DOWN, PAUSE
AND REFLECT IN PRAYER OR
MEDITATION.
IT REMINDS ME OF THE VERY FIRST
BROADCAST I MADE IN 1940, HELPED
BY MY SISTER.
WE, AS CHILDREN, SPOKE FROM HERE
AT WINDSOR TO CHILDREN WHO HAD
BEEN EVACUATED FROM THEIR HOMES
AND SENT AWAY FOR THEIR OWN
SAFETY.
TODAY, ONCE AGAIN, MANY WILL
FEEL A PAINFUL SENSE OF
SEPARATION FROM THEIR LOVED
ONES.
NOW AS THEN, WE KNOW DEEP DOWN,
IT IS THE RIGHT THING TO DO.
WHILE WE HAVE FACED CHALLENGES
BEFORE, THIS ONE IS DIFFERENT.
THIS TIME WE JOIN WITH ALL
NATIONS ACROSS THE GLOBE IN A
COMMON ENDEAVOUR, USING THE
GREAT ADVANCES OF SOME AND OUR
INSTINCTIVE COMPASSION TO HEAL.
WE WILL SUCCEED AND THAT SUCCESS
WILL BELONG TO EVERY ONE OF US.
WE SHOULD TAKE COMFORT THAT
WHILE WE MAY HAVE MORE STILL TO
ENDURE, BETTER DAYS WILL RETURN.
WE WILL BE WITH OUR FRIENDS
AGAIN.
WE WILL BE WITH OUR FAMILIES
AGAIN.
WE WILL MEET AGAIN.
BUT FOR NOW, I SEND MY THANKS
AND WARMEST GOOD WISHES TO YOU
ALL.
>> THAT IS THE MAJESTY HER QUEEN
SPEAKING FROM WINDSOR CASTLE.
RECORDED ON THURSDAY WITH A
STRONG MESSAGE AND A CALL FOR
UNITY FOR PEOPLE IN HER COUNTRY
BUT ALL OVER THE WORLD.
ANNE MACMILLAN JOINS ME NOW FROM
LONDON.
SO, A SHORT MESSAGE ABOUT FOUR
MINUTES, FOUR AND A HALF OR SO,
WHERE THE QUEEN WENT THROUGH THE
CHALLENGING TIMES EVERYONE IS
EXPERIENCING, THANKED THE HEALTH
WORKERS AND ALL THE WORK THAT
THEY'RE DOING, SELF-LESS DUTIES
SHE CALLED THEM.
WHAT STOOD OUT FOR YOU THERE IN
HER MESSAGE?
>> Reporter: IT WAS VERY MOVING.
I DIDN'T EXPECT TO BE SO MOVED.
 [LAUGHTER]
BEING A HARDENED OLD JOURNALIST.
SHE LOOKED SO SINCERE, WHICH SHE
IS OBVIOUSLY.
I WAS VERY -- I THOUGHT THAT IT
WAS VERY INTERESTING THE WAY SHE
TALKED ABOUT HOW, WHEN WE LOOK
BACK ON THIS, WE'LL TAKE PRIDE
IN HOW WE DEALT WITH THIS
PROBLEM.
SHE USED THAT WONDERFUL, WE'LL
MEET AGAIN, AT THE END.
THE SONG THAT THE TROOPS USED TO
LOVE "WE'LL MEET AGAIN."
DO KNOW WHERE OR WHEN, IT WAS
VERY MOVING AND PRACTICAL
ADVICE.
THIS IS A TIME WHERE WE ARE SAD
BECAUSE WE'RE BEING SEPARATED
FROM OUR LOVED ONES BUT IT'S FOR
THE BEST.
I THINK IT WAS VERY FORWARD
LOOKING AND POSITIVE.
>> Rosemary: THE LANGUAGE WE ARE
UNITED AND RESOLUTE SEEMED TO ME
PARTICULARLY BRITISH AND WOULD
RESINATE STRONGLY WITH MANY
PEOPLE WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED OR
LIVED THROUGH THE SAME THINGS AS
THE QUEEN.
SHE ALSO TALKED ABOUT THE
DIFFICULTY MANY PEOPLE WOULD
HAVE IN SELF-ISOLATING, HOW
DIFFICULT THAT MIGHT BE.
SHE SAID WHETHER YOU HAVE A
FAITH OR RELIGION TO PRACTISE OR
NOT, IT MIGHT BE THE MOMENT TO
SLOW DOWN AND TO REFLECT ON
THINGS, EVEN THROUGH PRAYER OR
MEDITATION SHE SAID.
I'M NOT SURE THE LAST TIME THE
QUEEN HAS OFFERED THE ADVICE TO
MEDITATE.
THAT TO ME WAS INTERESTING AS
WELL.
IT WAS FIRST OF ALL, RECOGNITION
THAT NOT EVERYONE IS GOING TO
TURN TO FAITH IN A MOMENT LIKE
THIS.
ALSO, WHAT OTHER PEOPLE ARE
NOTICING, THAT QUIETER, SLOWER
LIVES SOMETIMES LEAD TO AN
OPPORTUNITY TO CONTEMPLATE
THINGS.
>> Reporter: YES, ABSOLUTELY.
I THINK THAT WE'VE ALL FOUND
THIS, I HOPE, YOU TOO.
BEING FORCED TO JUST SIT DOWN
AND SMELL THE ROSES IS ACTUALLY
NOT A BAD THING.
IT MEANS THAT WE ACTUALLY CAN
APPRECIATE OUR LOVED ONES,
NATURE, JUST BEING ALIVE.
>> Rosemary: AT THE END, WHERE
YOU ARE QUITE RIGHT, SHE DID
SORT OF CALL BACK THOSE LYRICS
FROM THAT SONG, BUT SHE ALSO
TALKED ABOUT HOW THIS IS A
DIFFERENT COMMON ENDEAVOUR AND
BRIAN HAD SAID, I THINK IT WAS
BRIAN, HE SAID BEFORE, THIS
CAN'T BE A SORT OF WARTIME
MESSAGE.
WHILE WE'RE ALL UNITED IN THE
FIGHT AGAINST THE PANDEMIC, THIS
CAN'T BE THE SAME KIND OF TONE.
I'M WONDERING WHETHER YOU
THOUGHT FROM THAT PERSPECTIVE,
SHE STRUCK THE RIGHT TONE?
>> Reporter: I DO.
SHE DID SHOW THAT PICTURE AND
CLIP THAT YOU ACTUALLY SHOWED
EARLIER OF HER IN 1940 WITH HER
SISTER, MARGARET, TALKING TO THE
CHILDREN OF BRITAIN.
SHE WAS PROVING TO US, IF WE
NEED PROOF, SHE'S HAD
EXTRAORDINARY EXPERIENCES AND
SHE KNOWS WHAT SHE'S TALKING
ABOUT.
I FOUND THAT VERY INTERESTING.
I ALSO THOUGHT IT WAS A GREAT
MOMENT, WHICH YOU MUST HAVE SEEN
ON THE NEWS, OF PEOPLE
APPLAUDING ONCE A WEEK.
WE STAND OUTSIDE OUR HOUSES AND
WE APPLAUD HEALTH WORKERS.
AND I WAS INTERESTED THAT SHE
MENTIONED THAT AS WELL AND THEY
SHOWED THE PICTURES.
>> Rosemary: YES.
I WILL COME BACK TO YOU, THANK
YOU SO MUCH.
LET ME GO TO BRIAN STEWART,
FORMER CBC FOREIGN CORRESPONDENT
IN TORONTO.
SO, BRIAN, WAS THAT WHAT YOU
EXPECTED?
WHAT DID YOU MAKE OF THE QUEEN'S
MESSAGE THERE?
>> Reporter: IT WAS SO MUCH MORE
MOVING THAN I EXPECTED, RIGHT.
SHE HAS AN ABILITY TO GET
EXACTLY THE MOOD RIGHT AND WHAT
STRUCK ME WAS THE PRAISE ASPECT.
ALL OF US WANT TO REALLY PRAISE
THE HEALTH WORKERS AND THE WAY
SHE WAS ABLE TO TONIGHT.
I MEAN, THERE WAS A REAL FEELING
THAT WE WANT TO THANK AND
THERE'S A FEW OF OUR TIME.
THEY'RE THE ONES THAT ARE IN THE
ABSOLUTELY IN THE FRONTLINES FOR
ALL OF US AND THE QUEEN PUT THAT
IN EXACTLY THE RIGHT WORDS, AND
HAVE EVERYBODY HERESY.
THE SUGGESTION THAT LOOK, WE'VE
ALL BEEN THROUGH TOUGH TIMES, WE
EACH HAVE OUR OWN CHALLENGE,
THIS IS OUR TIME FOR MANY
PEOPLE.
AND WE HAVE TO RISE UP TO THE
EXPECTATIONS AND SHE KNOWS AND
SHE'S CONFIDENT THAT WOMEN.
>> Rosemary: WHEN THE QUEEN SAYS
SOMETHING, IT MUST RESINATE
SOMETHING IF YOUR MOM IS TELLING
YOU STAY HOME AND NOT GO OUT AND
SOCIALIZE WITH PEOPLE SO I
WONDER, IF THAT IS CHALLENGE
ABOUT TELLING PEOPLE HOW TO
BEHAVE AND HOW TO ACT GOING
FORWARD, WHETHER THAT WILL
RESINATE DIFFERENTLY TOO.
>> Reporter: I THINK IT WILL
UNDERSCORE WHAT MANY OTHER
PEOPLE WILL SAYING.
IT WILL ADD A STRENGTH TO WHAT
GOVERNMENTS HAVE BEEN SAYING AND
MANY PEOPLE COMING ON CAMERA AND
IN ON AND SAY IT'S WHAT YOU MUST
DO WHAT IT'S WHAT DO YOU IN
TOUGH TIMES AND WHAT YOU MUST DO
AND I THINK IT UNDERSCORES THE
MESSAGE IN MANY WAYS WE'VE ALL
BEEN GIVEN EACH OTHER FROM WEEKS
NOW AND IT COMES FROM THE QUEEN
AND THE HEAD OF STATE AND WE'VE
ALL KNOWN ALL THEIR LIVES AND IT
HAS TO RESINATE MORE POWER AND
THE OTHER THING, THE DAILY PRESS
CONFERENCE OF THE POLITICAL
LEADER IT'S SO RARE AND YOU
REALLY DO TAKE NOTICE.
>> Rosemary: THAT'S RIGHT.
I MEAN, WE'VE SEEN ENOUGH OF THE
POLITICAL LEADERS ON A DAILY
BASIS NOW THAT PERHAPS THE
MESSAGE RESINATES DIFFERENTLY
BECAUSE IT'S RARE TO HEAR
DIRECTLY FROM THE QUEEN AT TIMES
LIKE THIS.
I ASKED ANNE THIS QUESTION BUT
FOR YOU AS WELL, WHILE THE QUEEN
ALLUDED TO THE MESSAGE THAT SHE
HAD GIVEN WHEN SHE WAS A
TEENAGER DURING THE WAR, THIS
WAS NOT A MESSAGE LIKE THAT AND
IT WAS STILL ABOUT A COMMON
FIGHT.
DID YOU SEE THE DIFFERENCES OR
SIMILARITIES IN TERMS OF THE
KINDS OF MESSAGING SHE HAD TO
DO?
>> Reporter: YES, I DO.
I ACTUALLY THINK THE WARTIME
SENSE CAN BE STRONG.
I WAS TALKING TO MILLENNIALS
THAT REALISE THIS IS THEIR TIME,
THEIR CHALLENGE.
THEY WILL HAVE HAD THEIR
CHALLENGE AND THE WAY THE TALKS.
EVERYBODY KNOWS NOW THIS IS A
MASSIVE CHALLENGE.
AND EVERYBODY HAS TO RISE TO IT.
AND I THINK GOING BACK TO THE
WARTIME, IT WAS A VERY USEFUL
HONING DEVICE TO SAY LOOK, WE
REALLY HAVE BEEN THROUGH A LOT
OF THINGS AND WE DO COME
THROUGH.
WE WILL SEE BRIGHT DAYS AGAIN,
THE BROAD SUNLIGHT THAT
CHURCHILL USED TO TALK OF.
WE'LL SEE BETTER TIMES.
IT'S A MESSAGE THAT WAS
BRILLIANT WHEN IT WAS FIRST
UTTERED IN THE 40s AND IT'S A
MESSAGE NEEDED NOW AND
ABSOLUTELY EXACT.
EVERY PARLIAMENT WAS WELL PUT
TOGETHER AND VERY WELL PLACED.
BOTH THE GOVERNMENT AND THE
OPPOSITION WILL BE VERY PLEASED
WITH THAT TONIGHT.
>> Rosemary: IF THE INTENT WAS
TO TRY TO REALLY HAMMER HOME THE
MESSAGE, THAT WAS DONE TONIGHT.
THANK YOU, BRIAN.
ANOTHER LITTLE MENTION OF SOME
OTHER THINGS THAT THE QUEEN
SAID.
SHE SAID TO TAKE COMFORT.
WE STILL HAVE MORE TO ENDURE SHE
SAID BUT BETTER DAYS WILL COME.
AND THAT IS PERHAPS BECAUSE THE
UNITED KINGDOM IS STRUGGLING TO
FIGHT THIS PANDEMIC IN A VERY
REAL WAY.
ALMOST 48,000 PEOPLE HAVE TESTED
POSITIVE FOR THE CORONAVIRUS,
ACCORDING TO THEIR DEPARTMENT OF
HEALTH.
THE DEATH TOLL IN THE UNITED
KINGDOM IS ALMOST AT 5,000 AND
THIS IS CERTAINLY NOT THE WORST.
HEALTH OFFICIALS THERE EXPECT
THAT IT WILL GET WORSE OVER THE
NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS.
AND THE HEALTH SECRETARY, MATT
HAN HANCOCK HAS SAID IT'S
MISSION CRITICAL TO FOLLOWING
SOCIAL DISTANCING RULES THAT
HAPPENED AFTER A COUPLE OF
DIFFICULT DAYS IN PARTS OF
ENGLAND WHERE PEOPLE WERE OUT IN
DROVES AT PARKS AND BEACHES.
SO THERE'S BEEN A CRACK-DOWN
FROM HEALTH OFFICIALS WHO SAY IF
YOU DON'T PAY ATTENTION TO THIS
PHYSICAL DISTANCING RULES IT'S
POSSIBLE WE WON'T LET YOU
OUTSIDE OF YOUR HOME FOR OUTDOOR
EXERCISE.
LET'S GO BACK TO ANNE MACMILLAN.
I MEAN, THE SITUATION IS NOT A
GREAT ONE IN THE UNITED KINGDOM.
IN PART, BECAUSE OF THE WAY THE
GOVERNMENT HAS HANDLED THIS,
ALTHOUGH THERE'S BEEN A REAL
ATTEMPT TO TRY TO CATCH UP WITH
OTHER MORE SUCCESSFUL COUNTRIES
IN BATTLING THE PANDEMIC.
I WONDER IF THE TIMING OF THIS,
ANNE,
>> SHE SAID BETTER DAYS ARE
AHEAD IT'S AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE
TO PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN LOCKED
IN FOR THE PAST TWO WEEKS AND
GOING AS I SAY GOING INTO A
THIRD WEEK TOMORROW.
YES, THIS IS NOT THAT LONG A
TIME.
WE CAN JUST PUT UP WITH AND WE
JUST HAVE TO PUT UP WITH IT IF
WE WANT TO SEE BETTER DAYS
AHEAD.
>> Rosemary: IT RESINATES IN
CANADA AND BECAUSE YOU ARE
RIGHT, PEOPLE ARE GETTING ANTSY
AND THE PRIME MINISTER EVERYDAY
SAYS WE HAVE TO HANG IN THERE
AND GO A LITTLE BIT LONGER.
THE WEATHER AND THE DESIRE TO
SEE OTHER PEOPLE ALL THINGS THAT
PEOPLE GET FOR SURE AND
IMPORTANT MESSAGE TO HEAR IT
DIRECTLY FROM THE QUEEN.
SOME PEOPLE SAY BEGINNING TO SAY
WELL IT'S NOT ALL THAT BAD AND I
DON'T HAVE IT AND I DON'T KNOW
MANY PEOPLE WHO HAVE GOT IT SO
WHAT IS ALL THE FUSS ABOUT AND
THIS MESSAGE FROM THE QUEEN WILL
MAKE PEOPLE SAY SIT BACK, WE'RE
GOING TO LISTEN.
>> Rosemary: THANK YOU SO MUCH,
ANNE.
LET'S GO BACK TO ROBERT HARDMAN,
AUTHOR OF "QUEEN OF THE WORLD"
AND HE JOINS US FROM LONDON.
I HAVEN'T HEARD YOUR TAKE YET ON
WHAT THE QUEEN'S MESSAGE, HOW
DID YOU FIND IT?
>>
>> I THOUGHT IT WAS SPOT ON AND
PITCH-PERFECT.
I THOUGHT IT HAD ELEMENTS AND IT
WAS VERY MUCH OF OUR TIMES.
THE QUEEN WAS VERY CAREFUL TO
SAY, LOOK, I'VE BEEN THROUGH A
LOT AND I'VE SEEN A LOT AND WHAT
YOU ARE DOING NOW IS STANDING
ALONG EVERYTHING IN OUR PAST.
IT WAS FORWARD LOOKING.
OBVIOUSLY SHE WAS LOOKING BACK
ON HER VERY FIRST BROADCAST AND
AS I SAID EARLIER, IT'S 80 YEARS
SINCE HER FIRST BROADCAST AND
SHE TOUCHED ON THAT.
IT WAS TO SAY WHAT THE WORLD IS
DOING NOW AND SHE WAS KEEN TO
DIFFERENTIATE THEN AND NOW.
THEN, IT WAS NATIONS DIVIDED,
NOW IT'S A WORLD UNITED.
SHE WANTED TO MAKE THAT POINT
AND SHE WANTED TO STRESS THAT
THE YOUNGER GENERATIONS ARE
DOING THEIR BIT AND THEIR
RESOLVE OFFICER BIT AS ADMIRABLE
AS WHAT WE SAW DURING THE WAR.
SHE MADE A POINT TALKING ABOUT
THE COMMONWEALTH AND THE WHOLE
WORLD AND IT WAS POSITIVE.
IT WAS INTERESTING, FLEX, NO
REFERENCE TO OTHER MEMBERS OF
THE FAMILY, SHE DIDN'T MENTION
PRINCE CHARLES OR THE DUKE OF HE
EDINBURGH THAT NAIR IN
ISOLATION.
THIS IS ABOUT THE NATION NOT THE
FAMILY.
>> Rosemary: THAT'S AN IMPORTANT
OBSERVATION.
SHE SAID PRIDE IN WHO WE ARE
DEFINES OUR PRESENT AND OUR
FUTURE.
IT WAS ALMOST A REMINDER, AS YOU
SAY, OF THINGS THAT PEOPLE HAVE
GONE THROUGH AND THEIR BEHAVIOUR
THAT HAS LED TO POSITIVE
OUTCOMES AND HOW THAT MIGHT HELP
THEM TO CALL UPON WHAT SHE
CALLED THEIR RESOLUTE NATURE AND
UNITED AND RESOLUTE OF THE
BRITISH.
>> Reporter: YES, NOT JUST THE
BRITISH.
SHE'S TALKING ABOUT THE
COMMONWEALTH AND THE WORLD AND
SHE TALKED ABOUT THE COMPASSION
TO HEAL.
SHE WAS TRYING TO DRAW OUT MANY
POSITIVES ABOUT THE RESPONSE
TOWARDS GOING ON AT THE MOMENT
AND IT WAS INTERESTING I THOUGHT
ALSO THAT WE NORMALLY SEE HER
SPEAK AT CHRISTMAS AND THERE'S
NORMALLY A OVERTLY RELIGIOUS SUB
TEXT.
NO MENTION OF EASTER AT ALL.
SHE DIRECTLY REFERRED TO THOSE
OF ALL FAITHS AND OF NONE AND
SHE DID SAY IT WAS A TIME FOR
THOSE WHO ENCOURAGE PRAYER OR
MEDITATION.
TESTIFY A VERY CONTEMPORARY
ADDRESS FROM SOMEONE WHO HAS
SEEN MORE CRISIS AND MORE
THREATS, IF YOU WANT OUR WAY OF
LIFE, THAN ANY OTHER WORLD
LEADER SERVING TODAY,.
>> Rosemary: ROBERT, WOULD
EVERYONE BE GATHERED AROUND
THEIR TELEVISION SCREENS OR
THEIR COMPUTER SCREENS AND
WATCHING THIS?
WOULD THIS BE SOMETHING THAT
FAMILIES WOULD GATHER AROUND TO
HEAR, GIVEN IT'S SO UNUSUAL?
>> Reporter: I CAN ONLY SPEAK
FOR MY OWN BECAUSE WE'RE ALL ON
LOCKDOWN.
YES.
I THINK UP AND DOWN THE NATION,
ON CHRISTMAS DAY AND FAMILIES
COME TOGETHER TO WATCH THE
QUEEN'S SPEECH ALTHOUGH I MAN
THE RATINGS WILL GO WAY BEYOND
CHRISTMAS.
THIS WILL BE A MOMENT.
ONE OF THOSE MOMENTS WHEN YEARS
TO COME, PEOPLE REMEMBER, WE ALL
SAT AROUND THE TV AND WATCHED
THE QUEEN.
>> Rosemary: THANK YOU, ROBERT.
I APPRECIATE IT.
FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO MAY HAVE
MISSED THE ORIGINAL BROADCAST,
IT'S NOT A LONG ONE BUT AS YOU
HEARD, IT'S AN IMPORTANT ONE.
HERE IS HER MAJESTY'S ADDRESS
AGAIN.
>> Queen Elizabeth II: I'M
SPEAKING TO YOU AT WHAT I KNOW
IS AN INCREASINGLY CHALLENGING
TIME.
A TIME OF DISRUPTION IN THE LIFE
OF OUR COUNTRY.
A DISRUPTION THAT HAS BROUGHT
GRIEF TO SOME, FINANCIAL
DIFFICULTIES TO MANY, AND
ENORMOUS CHANGES TO THE DAILY
LIVES OF US ALL.
I WANT TO THANK EVERYONE ON THE
N.H.S. FRONT LINE, AS WELL AS
CARE WORKERS AND THOSE CARRYING
OUT ESSENTIAL ROLES, WHO
SELFISHLY CONTINUE THEIR
DAY-TO-DAY DUTIES OUTSIDE THE
HOME IN SUPPORT OF US ALL.
I'M SURE THE NATION WILL JOIN ME
IN ASSURING YOU THAT WHAT YOU DO
IS APPRECIATED AND EVERY HOUR OF
YOUR HARD WORK BRINGS US CLOSER
TO A RETURN TO MORE NORMAL
TIMES.
I ALSO WANT TO THANK THOSE OF
YOU WHO ARE STAYING AT HOME,
HELPING TO PROTECT THE
VULNERABLE AND SPARING MANY
FAMILIES THE PAIN ALREADY FELT
BY THOSE WHO HAVE LOST LOVED
ONES.
TOGETHER, WE ARE TACKLING THIS
DISEASE AND I WANT TO REASSURE
YOU THAT IF WE REMAIN UNITED AND
RESOLUTE, THEN WE WILL OVERCOME
IT.
I HOPE IN THE YEARS TO COME,
EVERYONE WILL BE ABLE TO TAKE
PRIDE IN HOW THEY RESPONDED TO
THIS CHALLENGE.
AND THOSE WHO COME AFTER US,
WILL SAY THE BRITAINS OF THIS
GENERATION WERE AS STRONG AS
ANY.
THE ATTRIBUTES OF
SELF-DISCIPLINE, QUIET, GOOD
HUMOUR RESOLVE AND A FELLOW
FEELING STILL CHARACTERIZE THIS
COUNTRY.
THE PRIDE IN WHO WE ARE IS NOT A
PART OF OUR PAST, IT DEFINES OUR
PRESENT AND OUR FUTURE.
 [APPLAUSE]
>> Queen Elizabeth II: THE
MOMENTS WHEN THE UNITED KINGDOM
HAS COME TOGETHER TO APPLAUD
ESSENTIAL AND CARE WORKERS WILL
BE REMEMBERED AS A SPACE AND ITS
SYMBOL WILL BE THE RAINBOWS
DRAWN BY CHILDREN.
ACROSS THE COMMONWEALTH AND
AROUND THE WORLD, WE HAVE SEEN
HEARTWARMING STORIES OF PEOPLE
COMING TOGETHER TO HELP OTHERS.
BE IT THROUGH DELIVERING FOOD
PARCELS AND MEDICINES, CHECKING
ON NEIGHBOURS, OR CONVERTING
BUSINESSES TO HELP THE RELIEF
EFFORT.
AND THOSE SELF-ISOLATING MAY AT
TIMES BE HARD.
MANY PEOPLE OF ALL FAITHS AND OF
NONE, ARE DISCOVERING THAT IT
PRESENTS AN OPPORTUNITY TO SLOW
DOWN, PAUSE AND REFLECT IN
PRAYER OR MEDITATION.
IT REMINDS ME OF THE VERY FIRST
BROADCAST I MADE IN 1940 HELPED
BY MY SISTER.
WE, AS CHILDREN, SPOKE FROM HERE
AT WINDSOR TO CHILDREN WHO HAD
BEEN EVACUATED FROM THEIR HOMES
AND SENT AWAY FOR THEIR OWN
SAFETY.
TODAY, ONCE AGAIN, MANY WILL
FEEL A PAINFUL SENSE OF
SEPARATION FROM THEIR LOVED
ONES.
NOW AS THEN, WE KNOW DEEP DOWN
THAT IT IS THE RIGHT THING TO
DO.
WHILE WE HAVE FACED CHALLENGES
BEFORE, THIS ONE IS DIFFERENT.
THIS TIME WE JOIN WITH ALL
NATIONS ACROSS THE GLOBE IN A
COMMON ENDEAVOUR, USING THE
GREAT ADVANCES OF SOME AND OUR
INSTINCTIVE COMPASSION TO HEAL.
WE WILL SUCCEED AND THAT SUCCESS
WILL BELONG TO EVERY ONE OF US.
WE SHOULD TAKE COMFORT THAT
WHILE WE MAY HAVE MORE STILL TO
ENDURE, BETTER DAYS WILL RETURN.
WE WILL BE WITH OUR FRIENDS
AGAIN.
WE WILL BE WITH OUR FAMILIES
AGAIN.
WE WILL MEET AGAIN.
FOR NOW, I SEND MY THANKS AND
WARMEST GOOD WISHES TO YOU ALL.
>> Rosemary: THAT IS AGAIN HER
MAJESTY THE QUEEN ADDRESSING THE
NATION AND THE COMMONWEALTH FROM
WINDSOR CASTLE.
WHERE SHE HAS BEEN
SELF-ISOLATING NOW WITH HER
HUSBAND, THE DUKE OF EDINBURGH.
THE ROYAL FAMILY HAS BEEN
TOUCHED BY COVID-19, THE PRINCE
CHARLES WAS SHOWING MILD
SYMPTOMS OF THE CORONAVIRUS AND
HAD TO SELF-ISOLATE AS WELL.
HE IS SAID TO BE DOING MUCH
BETTER.
BRYN STEWART IS A FORMER CBC
FOREIGN CORRESPONDENT AND JOINS
US FROM TORONTO.
STILL IS GOOD THE SECOND TIME
AROUND, BRIAN.
WHAT DIFFERENCE DO YOU THINK
THIS WILL MAKE HEARING FROM THE
QUEEN DIRECTLY, FOR ANYBODY BUT
PARTICULARLY THOSE IN THE
COMMONWEALTH?
>> Reporter: WELL, YOU KNOW, I
COULDN'T HELP THINKING SHE SPOKE
TO A COUNTRY IN A COUNTRY THAT
WENT INTO THIS CRISIS AND HAD A
VERY ROUGH TIME WITH IT.
IT WAS SO POLITICALLY DIVIDED.
ANOTHER COUNTY THAT HAS HAD A
TERRIBLE TIME WITH IT BECAUSE
IT'S ALSO POLITICALLY DIVIDED
WAS THE UNITED STATES.
IN BRITAIN, WE HAD THE MONARCH
WAS ABLE TO SPEAK ABOUT THE --
THEY DON'T HAVE THAT PERSON
ABOVE THE PREMIER.
I COULDN'T HELP THINKING AGAIN,
THERE ARE TIMES WHEN THAT
POSITION OF THE MONARCH, I'M NOT
A GREAT MONARCHIST BUT THERE'S
TIME WHEN THAT POSITION REALLY
COMES THROUGH STRONG AND TODAY
AS ONE OF OUR GUESTS SAID, SHE
SPOKE PITCH PERFECT, SHE LOOKED
GREAT, I THOUGHT SHE LOOKED
REALLY IN COMMAND AND STRONG AND
I THINK IT WAS A COMMANDING
PERFORMANCE.
A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE GOING TO GO
AWAY SHAKING THEIR HEADS AND SAY
WOW, SHE STILL HAS IT.
SHE HAS REALLY --
>> Rosemary: AND SHE'LL BE 94 IN
A FEW WEEKS.
YOU ARE QUITE RIGHT, SHE STILL
THAT'S FROM THAT PERSPECTIVE.
MY THANK YOU TO ANNE MACMILLAN,
OUR FORMER LONDON BUREAU CHIEF
IN LOCKDOWN IN LONDON AS WELL.
THIS IS AN INCREDIBLY RARE EVENT
TO SEE THE QUEEN ADDRESS THE
NATION AND THE COMMONWEALTH LIKE
THIS.
SHE'S ONLY DONE IT THREE OTHER
TIMES BEFORE.
AND THIS TIME, CAME TOGETHER
WITH DOWNING STREET, DECIDING
THIS WAS THE RIGHT MOMENT TO
CALL FOR PEOPLE IN THE U.K. AND
ELSEWHERE TO STAY HOME, TO STAY
STRONG, TO STAY RESOLUTE WITH
SOME OF HER LANGUAGE THERE.
WE HOPE YOU ARE ENJOYING OUR
SPECIAL COVERAGE OF THE QUEEN'S
MESSAGE.
I WILL BE BACK TOMORROW WHEN WE
EXPECTS TO HEAR FROM THE PRIME
MINISTER AGAIN FOR HIS DAILY
UPDATE ON THE PANDEMIC IN THIS
COUNTRY.
BUT FOR NOW, WE WILL LEAVE YOU
TO CONTEMPLATE THE QUEEN'S
MESSAGE.
DOING THIS AGAIN IN UNUSUAL,
EXTRAORDINARY TIMES, I'M
