not simply as a visiting prince and his british wife, but as a couple who one day will be king and queen of this country. their first duty, watched by tens of thousands of canadians, was to pay their respects at the national war memorial in ottawa. william laid a wreath at the grave of the unknown soldier. then, what the waiting crowd had been waiting for, a chance to greet them. william took one side of the crowd and kate the other. taking time to stop and talk, accepting flowers, and ignoring the timetable. the event was already over run. it is impossible to say to what extent all of this curiosity and excitement about the visit translates into solid support for the notion that one day, they should be canada's king and queen. among the crowds who turned out to see them, there was widespread support for the monarchies. >> it doesn't matter if they have never come to canada before. they are here now. i would like to see them as our king and queen. >> it is a great thing for tourism. >> others were ignoring the visit, which has left some canadians underwhelmed. >> at the moment, they are

a lot of people think that because i am a drag queen i am not also an activist. the easiest way to dispel that is one of the things that prompted me to become a drag queen is the compton riots followed by the stonewall riot, which were the birth of the clear rights movement. it is not easier to be a drag queen. it is much harder to be taken seriously, to make connections. and even when i ran for district 6, people said, "you are bringing your drag queen named with you? do you know that is going to be harder?" i do not mind working harder to prove myself. i think my run for district six did in grain me in the cultural and community fabric even greater than i was. it proved i can be taken seriously and not just someone who represents what sinkers in a bar -- lipsynchers in a bar. i represent a large community and a voice in the community. i will talk about the organizations i have worked with. my introduction came through chp, the community housing partnership. i was homeless myself after a bout with debilitating aids. after 11 t-cells, i bounced back and became a

[applause] it will improve as we go on.

obviously when you think queen and see you playing next to freddie mercury all those great hits come to my mind and then i understand that when you reach that level of success with someone you definitely have a special law and you form a special bond and i've heard you in another interview say that you still see freddie in a strange way can you elaborate on that it's like a family member and you lose them but you don't quite reach them because you take the review. and we were so long together. so. you get that closeness with somebody particularly in a creative environment i don't think famous anything to do with it or even success but in the creative environment you learn to to know what somebody else might be thinking you might not always be right but you have a feeling you know so i still feel that roger does as well in a particular it applies more if we're working as queen in this or you know we think what would freddie say and you probably would say this. you know he's part of the creative process because he's part of what we are because we really chiseled this. all together me a

stay with us now is our exclusive interview with queen's guitarist brian may. it's great to have you with us today sir thank you something so recently i was going through the glass. and it's about music and what he said about music is that except it's art it's also true power over nations and so and then many people say that exactly why music is compared to the sciences like mass. so i never really got that because i finished around a conservatory and i always failed my math class where you as a man of music and science can tell me how music is related with science or exact science like math for example it's a hard question. obviously publicly there are mathematical things in music but ironically i think the most important things in these are probably instinctive things so i don't appoint how that works out except maybe gives your preference but yes i love pure science and i love music and they're not the same we sure term. history has connections and people who were immersed in both of them you know from being a lot of different seem to me. to patrick more you

it was a point you know the grieving process where i just didn't want to talk about queen didn't want to feel that it was there even the acceptance history but i sort of got through that and now i regard it as part of my life which will never go away and it shouldn't go away because it's so big part of what i worked to create to fashion what do you think happens after death after death you know the big questions in there. i don't know. i'm inclined to think that our view of the universe is very simplified and you know in a way that you know a beetle crawling over a piece of paper has a has a very limited view of the universe so i think we also have a limited view so this existence that we know maybe just a very small part of the whole picture you know and i'm excited to think that that may be so. i'm not counting on it because maybe maybe at the end of your life that i don't know. you know one thing is certain you can't use it as an excuse you can't say ok you know this life is really bad but the next one's going to be ok you have to make the best of where you are so i can't not ask y

it was a point you know the grieving process where i just didn't want to talk about queen didn't want to feel that it was there even except it's history but i sort of got through that and now i regard it as part of my life which will never go away and it shouldn't go away because it's a big part of what i worked to create to fashion. queens brown right talks to us in our less than ten minutes time but first our business are packed with. how i welcome to our business report here ninety thanks for joining me russia is looking forward to expand its privatization program to spur economic growth deputy prime minister issue of all of laid out the new plan in an article in the bed a missing news paper he suggests to fully privatized fourteen state companies by two thousand and seventeen however according to the plan the government will keep controlling stakes in infrastructure companies like russian railways and transnet now to discuss the issue i'm joined by ben iris editor in chief at business new europe magazine thank you for coming to the program ben now oh why are we seeing more compani

queen elizabeth first arrived just in time for the u.s. bicentennial in 1976.t the special link between our two countries. >> your declaration of independence broke that link, but it did not for long break our friendship. >> reporter: you've heard of the king's speech, but the queen's comments in 1991 may be equally hard to forget. >> thank you for your warm welcome to washington. >> reporter: the talking hat speech they called it. i'll leave it to you to figure out why. she had a sense of humor about it too. >> i do hope you can see me today from where you are. >> reporter: her inaugural trip to the ball game that year parodied in "the naked gun." why are americans so fascinated by your royalty? >> americans are fascinated by royalty because they're untouchable, they're exclusive, and whenever they come to america, they sprinkle fairy dust with them. >> reporter: our affection for the royals is no secret. who else but a prince and princess could draw thousands of american fans for an afternoon of polo, the sport of kings. it's kate's first ever trip to the u.s

the bride is the queen's grand daughter. but except for the guess list, there was little pomp and ceremony as she wed her long-time boyfriend. >> her grandmother happens to be the queen and head of state, but other than that there is really no other connection. >> and they are both world-class athletes. he was a key member of the rugby team that took the world cup for britain in 2003. she is expected to compete as a rider in the 2012 olympics. a career she probably could not have had if she'd taken a royal title with all the duties that go along with it. so while her cousin gets married in westminster, she's in a quaint scottish church. while 2 billion worldwide tuned into the other royal wedding. today's ceremony was for 400 close friends and family. while william and kate had a formal engagement photo in buckingham palace, they wore jeans. but there was one similarity. remember that hat? princess beatrice today wore this. no word yet if it has its own facebook page. abc news, london. >>> this week there are free whooping c

[laughter] of light to go on but i am reminded about his remarks. it is not just say to advice for the clergy in the pulpit but also for us in this place. he said the mind cannot absorb with the backside cannot enter. >> is a formidable man and does not suffer fools gladly. [laughter] >> he was a member of parliament. it was our 10th anniversary. we were all invited to buckingham palace. the duke came up to him and said, what did you do before you got this job? he said he worked in the trade union. the duke immediately replied, thunder all then. he was somewhat offended thinking

so the queen isn't in charge. but ladies do rule the colony.ly any ant you ever see is a female. males just mate once and die. so all these females survive and thrive together. all without a leader. which can be hard for us humans to understand. >> we put a lot of effort into thinking through how to organize some of the things that we try to do as groups. ants don't put in any effort at all. they're pretty messy about it. it works really well. >> reporter: most ants, it turns out, simply follow the crowd. and now it turns out scientists are following ants to attack one of life's most frustrating experiences. air travel. southwest airlines said help us figure out the most efficient way to get our passengers on a plane. you said, i know. i'll use ants. >> because i know they do complicated things with simple rules. >> reporter: doug lawson is a systems analyst at southwest airlines. so what did you discover? >> well, we discovered that there is a better order in taking your seat. >> reporter: he used computer simulated ants to determine the most

and so i still feel that and roger does as well in particular it applies more if we're working as queen and we think what would freddie say and you probably would say this. you know he's part of the creative process because he's part of what we are because we really chiseled this thing out all together me pretty and roger so i mean for a while i didn't one of you know i was very. it was a point you know the grieving process where i just didn't want to talk about we didn't want to feel that it was there even except it's history but i sort of got through that and now i regard it as part of my life which will never go away and it shouldn't go away because it's so big part of what i would to create to fashion. queens broadway talks to us your thoughts again just over an hour's time but right now look what's happening in business with. para welcome to our business update this hour thanks for joining me russia is looking forward to expand its privatization program to spur economic growth deputy prime minister shaul of laid out the new plan in an article in the database to newspaper he suggest
