i think the fact that he didn't reflects that strain and that change. >> thank you, michael. in the very back center, please, with walter. >> would you find it fair to say that winston churchill was probably the finest foreign secretary that britain ever had, at least in the 20th century? since it is the only major office i don't think he ever held? mr. bishop: he never held it, somewhat to his frustration. he wanted to be able to say he held them all. when he returned to office as prime minister, his focus was almost entirely on foreign affairs. and anthony eden, who returned as foreign secretary under him and was heir apparent was very ill, often had to travel to the united states for surgery, and churchill considered appointing himself foreign secretary and working out of the foreign secretary's office, which is much, much grander than the place where the prime minister works. ultimately, he didn't do it. but the fact remains that both in his undying belief in personal diplomacy and his almost exclusive focus on foreign affairs and the cold war during his second premiershi

michael, how is the us coping with that prospect? i don't think anyone can begin to have a policy for that. when the economy is being shut down piecemeal, remember that the federal response from the white house, two weeks ago, they were saying that we will be in a church for easter. now finally the penny has dropped, and they are acknowledging that this will go on for quite some time. the us are shutting down new york city, now the epicentre of the global pandemic, effectively shut down. it was going to be a moment of increased unemployment, but 3.3 million people filed unemployment claims last week. 6.6 million people in the weekjust finished, that is 10 million people. to me, it seems to me that this is a moral equivalent of the 1929 stock market crash. the stock market crash did not immediately cause the depression. several years went by while the big ripples went throughout the economy, ultimately with mass unemployment and banks collapsing. i think when you look at 10 million people filing for unemployment in a month, while we w
