| 0:00.0 | This is LBC from Global, leading Britain's conversation with James O'Brien. |
| 0:14.3 | Three minutes after ten is the time. A very good morning to you. I hope that you and yours are dealing with these unprecedented problems in a |
| 0:23.8 | calm and collected fashion. And if you're not, well, I hope that we can over the course of the next |
