rephonersments arrive, is this an escalation that could lead to war. | :00:00. | :00:21. | |
And we are in Kiev, investigating the links between the new Government | :00:22. | :00:29. | |
and Neo-Nazis. Why is Nigel Farage trying to shut down questions at his | :00:30. | :00:33. | |
own spring conference. I'm not answering any more questions on that | :00:34. | :00:40. | |
subject. Anything else anyone has to ask? Will it be the same question | :00:41. | :00:48. | |
from you? It always is. And... 49 and the last one backhand, 50. Does | :00:49. | :00:55. | |
thrashing at school set you up for a more successful life, Sir Alex | :00:56. | :01:02. | |
Fergusonies thinks so, does anyone think he might be right? | :01:03. | :01:09. | |
Ukraine is tonight accusing Russia of invasion and military occupation | :01:10. | :01:16. | |
as armed guards take over key infrastructure points across the | :01:17. | :01:20. | |
Crimea. Phone lines to the region have been cut and all flights | :01:21. | :01:24. | |
suspended, Britain has warned against travel there. The White | :01:25. | :01:27. | |
House and David Cameron have called on Russia to respect Ukrainian | :01:28. | :01:32. | |
territory. Today the first public appearance from Viktor Yanukovych, | :01:33. | :01:40. | |
who spoke from Russia and told President Putin to take a stronger | :01:41. | :01:46. | |
line with Ukraine's leaders. Bring us up-to-date because President | :01:47. | :01:49. | |
Obama has been speaking ten minutes or so ago. Just before we came on | :01:50. | :01:54. | |
air strikes he described the situation in Ukraine as "fluid". You | :01:55. | :01:59. | |
have a leader facing rapidly unfolding events which could have | :02:00. | :02:06. | |
future relations with Europe, and here was a man not committing | :02:07. | :02:09. | |
himself too much but sounding strong. It would be a clear | :02:10. | :02:15. | |
violation of Russia's commitment to respect the independence and | :02:16. | :02:22. | |
sovereignty and borders of Ukraine and international laws. Days after t | :02:23. | :02:28. | |
world came to Russia for the Olympic Games it would invite the | :02:29. | :02:33. | |
condemnation of countries around the world. And the United States will | :02:34. | :02:38. | |
stand by the affirmation of there will be costs of any military | :02:39. | :02:42. | |
intervention in the Ukraine. He's still keeping conditionality in his | :02:43. | :02:46. | |
language waiting for events to be confirmed. The Pentagon was briefing | :02:47. | :02:50. | |
out to reporters earlier this evening that it believed that | :02:51. | :02:55. | |
reports of Russian troops moving by aircraft and ship into Crimea were | :02:56. | :02:58. | |
true. So the situation seems to be recognised by them for what it is. | :02:59. | :03:02. | |
Now we know the situation there tonight is still unfolding at quite | :03:03. | :03:07. | |
a pace. For example the airspace has been closed over the Crimea. You can | :03:08. | :03:12. | |
see it on app here, the Black Sea there with the Crimea to the north | :03:13. | :03:16. | |
in the centre of it. The international flights moving across | :03:17. | :03:21. | |
the screen, but avoiding Crimea airspace. This, of course, is all | :03:22. | :03:25. | |
part of an unfolding picture that we have to understand a little better | :03:26. | :03:32. | |
as the day has progressed. The first they knew of it was armed men | :03:33. | :03:37. | |
appeared at the airport. Some Russians claimed they were a | :03:38. | :03:41. | |
self-defence group, but their uniforms and kit told a different | :03:42. | :03:47. | |
story. Of a regular military force taking an objective. Other airports | :03:48. | :03:55. | |
got the same treament. In Balaclava Bay a Russian cor vet took station | :03:56. | :04:01. | |
in the harbour and surrounded the naval base. For a while Russia | :04:02. | :04:06. | |
maintained the fiction that the boots on the ground belonged to the | :04:07. | :04:10. | |
self-defence groups anxious to secure the peninsula from invasion | :04:11. | :04:15. | |
by Ukrainian extremists. TRANSLATION: I'm not sure who they | :04:16. | :04:19. | |
are, just armed people, but they helped us to establish security. | :04:20. | :04:23. | |
They took the territory under control and moved further away. | :04:24. | :04:26. | |
Since morning they have been patrolling the area. But by the | :04:27. | :04:30. | |
afternoon things were becoming clearer, with the main Ukrainian | :04:31. | :04:35. | |
fighter station in Crimea secured, the way was clear to fly in | :04:36. | :04:39. | |
reinforcements from Russia. More than a dozen Russian helicopters | :04:40. | :04:45. | |
flew at tree top height to the airfield. Fixed wing transport | :04:46. | :04:50. | |
planes reportedly landed. Then a ground column of APCs rushed out | :04:51. | :04:57. | |
from the base. The command vehicle had to be towed out. At this point | :04:58. | :05:01. | |
the Russian Foreign Ministry confirmed its troops had left the | :05:02. | :05:05. | |
naval base area, recognised by international treaty and were | :05:06. | :05:13. | |
entering Ukraine proper, heading for Sypherapol, the fiction that this | :05:14. | :05:17. | |
was not a Russian state intervention was dissolving. Across the Russian | :05:18. | :05:24. | |
border Ukraine's ousted President, Viktor Yanukovych, appeared to say | :05:25. | :05:29. | |
the office was still his by right and nobody was about to divide up | :05:30. | :05:35. | |
his country. TRANSLATION: I want to say it over and over again, and add | :05:36. | :05:41. | |
that I'm radically against military intervention in Ukraine, and the | :05:42. | :05:44. | |
violation of territorial integrity of Ukraine as a sovereign | :05:45. | :05:50. | |
Government. If Russia wants to separate Crimea from the Ukraine, it | :05:51. | :05:59. | |
now has various options. The seventh airbourne division based could | :06:00. | :06:03. | |
provide the troops to rephoners Crimea, garrisons nearby could also | :06:04. | :06:07. | |
send in troops. The Ukrainians meanwhile have little close at hand | :06:08. | :06:11. | |
to oppose them. The four brigades it has near to the Crimea would take | :06:12. | :06:16. | |
days to organise and move there. As for options short of intervention on | :06:17. | :06:23. | |
that scale, the precedence of Moldova and others are there for | :06:24. | :06:27. | |
local Russians to organised armed groups, with Russian troops being | :06:28. | :06:33. | |
cast in the role of peacekeepers. You shared the difficulty with the | :06:34. | :06:37. | |
response, has Ukraine actually tried to push back and resist this at all? | :06:38. | :06:42. | |
This is an extraordinary thing. President Obama this evening | :06:43. | :06:45. | |
commended Ukraine's restraint in responding to this. There were | :06:46. | :06:49. | |
reports earlier today from that airbase, where their main fighter | :06:50. | :06:54. | |
station is on the Crimea, the people who could have taken to the skies to | :06:55. | :06:56. | |
oppose what was going on, but the Russian troops believed that Russian | :06:57. | :07:01. | |
troops had taken the airbase, taken the runway, blocked the runway to | :07:02. | :07:04. | |
stop these fighters taken off. All of this suggests a supine approach | :07:05. | :07:10. | |
by the Ukrainians, no troops movements, no attempt to contest the | :07:11. | :07:15. | |
skies or attempt to use anti-careful missile batteries to stop this. Does | :07:16. | :07:20. | |
this be token deliberate orders from Kiev not to inflame the situation, | :07:21. | :07:24. | |
bringing about a Georgia-style war, or is it to do with the weakness of | :07:25. | :07:29. | |
the Ukrainian army, its confusion in this situation of having to actually | :07:30. | :07:36. | |
turn its guns on its erstwhile brothers in the Russian Armed | :07:37. | :07:39. | |
Forces. We don't know, but the fact they haven't responded has meant so | :07:40. | :07:44. | |
far this has been bloodless. So clearly then there are questions | :07:45. | :07:47. | |
tonight, not just for Russia, but also for this new Ukrainian | :07:48. | :07:50. | |
Government, and how it will respond going forward. Our correspondent is | :07:51. | :07:56. | |
in Kiev this evening for us. I think this is a very difficult situation | :07:57. | :08:00. | |
indeed for this new Ukrainian Government, remember it is a | :08:01. | :08:03. | |
Government that was put together just a couple of days ago, thrown | :08:04. | :08:07. | |
together in the circumstances of the revolution, a bunch of disparate | :08:08. | :08:12. | |
people, that have come together, are taking over the functions of the | :08:13. | :08:16. | |
state. A state which in many ways is still relying on volunteers and | :08:17. | :08:20. | |
activists to keep law and order going. This is a huge, huge | :08:21. | :08:24. | |
challenge for them, but I can bet that behind the scenes, especially | :08:25. | :08:28. | |
from the west, diplomats will be urging the people who are in charge | :08:29. | :08:32. | |
here in Ukraine to exercise extreme caution. Do not make the mistake, | :08:33. | :08:39. | |
they will be saying, of Georgia in 2008, do not respond rashly, look at | :08:40. | :08:44. | |
what happened there. It won't end well. It was very interesting seeing | :08:45. | :08:48. | |
today Viktor Yanukovych, who appeared for the first time in | :08:49. | :08:51. | |
southern Russia, to give a press conference. He vowed he would fight | :08:52. | :08:56. | |
on for the people of Ukraine. He denied that he had been overthrown | :08:57. | :09:01. | |
and he again used this rhetoric of fascists and terrorists. We have | :09:02. | :09:04. | |
heard the Russians use these words as well, and this of course is off | :09:05. | :09:08. | |
the back of reports that there were far right nationalist groups in | :09:09. | :09:13. | |
amongst the protestors. That certainly is true, but I have spent | :09:14. | :09:17. | |
the past few days investigating to what extent the far right was the | :09:18. | :09:20. | |
driver behind this revolution? In place of the defiant speeches the | :09:21. | :10:01. | |
sombre trains of Beethoven fill the square. This revolution is moving | :10:02. | :10:06. | |
into a new phase. Amidst the flowers and the children's tributes, shes of | :10:07. | :10:12. | |
something more sinister. Groups of armed men strut through the square | :10:13. | :10:19. | |
with dubious iconography. That yellow armband is a German symbol | :10:20. | :10:25. | |
used by several SS divisions during the Second World War. Far right | :10:26. | :10:30. | |
graffiti is appearing, daubed on the walls of the city. The people who | :10:31. | :10:34. | |
brought down the Government were overwhelmingly ordinary Ukrainians. | :10:35. | :10:39. | |
Students and doctors, workers and even families, people who simply | :10:40. | :10:47. | |
refused to back down. But the most organised and perhaps the most | :10:48. | :10:51. | |
effective were a small number of far right groups, when it came to | :10:52. | :10:55. | |
confrontations with the police, it was often the nationalists who were | :10:56. | :11:03. | |
the loudest and most violent. A group calling itself The Right | :11:04. | :11:08. | |
Sector is perhaps the largest. Its members can be seen marching around | :11:09. | :11:12. | |
Kiev in columns of about a dozen. Mostly they carry baseball bats. | :11:13. | :11:18. | |
Sometimes they carry guns. We met these men, posing for pictures | :11:19. | :11:22. | |
outside the burntout remains of what was once their headquarters. I asked | :11:23. | :11:25. | |
them about their political beliefs. I asked about the east, what about | :11:26. | :12:26. | |
Crimea where many Ukrainians feel close historical ties to Russia? | :12:27. | :12:40. | |
Police have largely disappeared from the streets of Kiev, law and order | :12:41. | :12:44. | |
is maintained by so called defence groups. Not all hold extreme views, | :12:45. | :12:48. | |
but those who do are often shy of the cameras. We got late night phone | :12:49. | :12:54. | |
call from another group, known as C 14, inviting us to meet their leader | :12:55. | :12:58. | |
at their new base. It turned out to be the former headquarters of the | :12:59. | :13:02. | |
Communist Party, now occupied by the far right. It is our general mission | :13:03. | :13:14. | |
to totally ruin the chains that connect our country with imperial | :13:15. | :13:18. | |
power from the past. And that being Russia? Yes. Russia, | :13:19. | :13:23. | |
not only Russia, the Soviet Union. Are you a Nazi? No, I don't think | :13:24. | :13:28. | |
I'm a Nazi, I'm a Ukrainian nationalist. What does that mean? | :13:29. | :13:35. | |
The main confrontation is about that some ethnic groups have control, | :13:36. | :13:39. | |
many business structures and economics and political forces. | :13:40. | :13:49. | |
Which ethnic groups? Russia and Jews and the Poles, and some | :13:50. | :13:54. | |
non-Ukrainian groups control a huge per cent of some occupational power, | :13:55. | :14:00. | |
and of course in th situation Ukrainian people have some tensions. | :14:01. | :14:06. | |
It causes conflicts. He says his group consists of around 200 men. C | :14:07. | :14:12. | |
14 is affiliated with a political party, called "freedom", which now | :14:13. | :14:19. | |
controls two ministries in the Government, including the Ministry | :14:20. | :14:22. | |
of Defence. Two of its MPs were recently photographed brandishing | :14:23. | :14:34. | |
well known far right numberology. 88 stance for HH, Heil Hitler. We are | :14:35. | :14:39. | |
fighting against Naziism, for us Naziism and communism are two sides | :14:40. | :14:45. | |
of the same coin. They are both destroying the Ukrainian nation in | :14:46. | :14:50. | |
the 20th century. And fought against Ukrainians and killed millions of | :14:51. | :14:54. | |
Ukrainians. The ferver of the revolution is beginning to fade, | :14:55. | :14:57. | |
people are starting to move on. But it is clear that it was the radical | :14:58. | :15:02. | |
groups who kept up the pressure on Viktor Yanukovych, and many of them | :15:03. | :15:05. | |
feel that this really is their victory. The question is, how much | :15:06. | :15:10. | |
power will that give the far right in the new Ukraine? Ukrainian | :15:11. | :15:15. | |
politics is in a state of flux. Different groups are jostling for | :15:16. | :15:19. | |
position. Left-wing activists have also taken control of some | :15:20. | :15:22. | |
Government buildings. But it is the right that appears to be coming out | :15:23. | :15:27. | |
on top. When the fighting started they started to attract more and | :15:28. | :15:31. | |
more young people and then not only young people but all kinds of | :15:32. | :15:36. | |
persons. Where they were marginal, regarded as marginal, previously now | :15:37. | :15:40. | |
they are seen as being at the core of the protest and therefore the | :15:41. | :15:46. | |
core of those who now have popular legitimacy to make decisions. With | :15:47. | :15:53. | |
their anti-Russian rhetoric, events in Crimea will almost certainly play | :15:54. | :15:57. | |
into the hands of the nationalists. No-one knows exactly how strong they | :15:58. | :16:01. | |
are in terms of numbers, but the influence of the far right in | :16:02. | :16:09. | |
Ukraine is growing. Neil Hamilton has been described as many things in | :16:10. | :16:14. | |
his long and varied career, rarely, I think we can safely say as a "back | :16:15. | :16:22. | |
room boy", it was this phrase employed by Nigel Farage of his | :16:23. | :16:26. | |
campaign manager that set the cat among the pigeons at the UKIP spring | :16:27. | :16:31. | |
conference. He thought they could win elections in May. We caught the | :16:32. | :16:38. | |
drama. The report contains flash photography. There is a special | :16:39. | :16:41. | |
surprise here for you today, the only fruitcake here today is on the | :16:42. | :16:46. | |
tray in the auditorium. REPORTER: Are you a fruitcake-free party. | :16:47. | :16:51. | |
Nigel Farage says it is time his party was seen as more than a | :16:52. | :16:56. | |
collection of fruitcakes. It is a mainstream political force he says, | :16:57. | :16:59. | |
it could come first in the European elections. But the question is, is | :17:00. | :17:04. | |
his party ready? I think and believe we are are posing the biggest threat | :17:05. | :17:07. | |
to the political establishment that has been seen in modern times. When | :17:08. | :17:11. | |
you look at the people in the UKIP we come from a broad range of | :17:12. | :17:15. | |
backgrounds, from the left, from the centre, from the right. Most people | :17:16. | :17:20. | |
in UKIP who stand as candidates or who are branch officers have never | :17:21. | :17:23. | |
been volumed in politics before. Nigel Farage wants us to believe | :17:24. | :17:28. | |
that UKIP is well on the way to political maturity, but are they | :17:29. | :17:33. | |
really all grown up now? The signs are today that they are still making | :17:34. | :17:39. | |
rookie mistakes. UKIP wanted to make clear today how much more diverse | :17:40. | :17:42. | |
the party has become, but it was soon having to explain why they have | :17:43. | :17:47. | |
decided to borrow the BNB's "love Britain" slogan. To argue that some | :17:48. | :17:52. | |
how you are not allowed to say you love your country, because some | :17:53. | :18:02. | |
ultra extreme racist splitter whatever yobby party has said they | :18:03. | :18:06. | |
love Britain and no-one is allowed to say they love Britain is | :18:07. | :18:10. | |
ridiculous. You disgust me, get out of my way. The circus at the last | :18:11. | :18:17. | |
UKIP conference in September, this is MEP Godfrey Bloom, the man who | :18:18. | :18:30. | |
denounced said to bongo bongoland and stormed away here. They say | :18:31. | :18:34. | |
today they are more disciplined. I have always said on every occasion | :18:35. | :18:38. | |
if we are going to play with the big boys we have to act like big boys in | :18:39. | :18:42. | |
the political world. I agree with Nigel's perspective, we don't want | :18:43. | :18:47. | |
to become so PC that we lose the individuality that makes the party | :18:48. | :18:50. | |
the success it is. But we have dealt with the likes of Godfrey Bloom, and | :18:51. | :18:54. | |
with some of the other issues. The party was not in danger of being | :18:55. | :18:58. | |
seen as too PC today. With Nigel Farage delivering one of his | :18:59. | :19:03. | |
strongest attacks on immigration policy. In scores of our cities and | :19:04. | :19:08. | |
market towns, this country, in a short space of time, has frankly | :19:09. | :19:14. | |
become unrecoginsable. He later told reporters that he was left feeling | :19:15. | :19:17. | |
awkward and uncomfortable on a recent train journey because he | :19:18. | :19:22. | |
didn't hear anyone speaking English. It is because we love Britain that | :19:23. | :19:26. | |
we will be voting UKIP. But it was questions about the role of campaign | :19:27. | :19:32. | |
director, Neil Hamilton, the former Tory MP who took "cash for | :19:33. | :19:35. | |
questions", which got the party leadership rattled. Could he really | :19:36. | :19:41. | |
be the face of the new UKIP. No he's the back room boy, the campaign | :19:42. | :19:45. | |
manager. Thank you. But did Neil Hamilton see it that way. Nigel | :19:46. | :19:50. | |
Farage has just described you as a back room boy, is that how you see | :19:51. | :19:55. | |
your role? Well I am for most of the week, but I'm front of house today. | :19:56. | :20:00. | |
Will you be staying in the back room during the campaign? I haven't been | :20:01. | :20:04. | |
in the back room today have I. You will be front of house? I go around | :20:05. | :20:08. | |
the country and speak at public meetings. I did one in Birmingham on | :20:09. | :20:14. | |
Monday, Hartlepool on Thursday, and Worcester on Friday. That doesn't | :20:15. | :20:18. | |
sound like a back room role? At the tends what you mean. It was time to | :20:19. | :20:24. | |
get back to Mr Farrage, I have just asked Neil Hamilton how he feels | :20:25. | :20:27. | |
about being described as back room boy. He says he will be front of | :20:28. | :20:31. | |
house during the campaign? I have answered that already, thank you. | :20:32. | :20:35. | |
Thank you, this is really very boring, he's not a candidate that is | :20:36. | :20:39. | |
the point I'm making. Of course you are not, you are obsessed with it, | :20:40. | :20:44. | |
I'm bored with it and I'm not answering questions on that subject. | :20:45. | :20:47. | |
UKIP thinks it has won the right to be taken seriously as a political | :20:48. | :20:53. | |
party, but the controversy over Neil ham himmen to's role suggests that | :20:54. | :20:55. | |
Nigel Farage was right when he said that this party was got some growing | :20:56. | :21:01. | |
up to do. Nigel Farage didn't go in for expectation management today, | :21:02. | :21:05. | |
he's promised to resign if he fails to get an MP elected in 2015. | :21:06. | :21:14. | |
We were expecting Nigel Farage to join us this evening, but following | :21:15. | :21:17. | |
that press conference he cancelled the Newsnight interview. The press | :21:18. | :21:20. | |
office told us they didn't want to dwell on the wrong issues. | :21:21. | :21:28. | |
Elizabeth Thomson may not be a household name, but she has just | :21:29. | :21:34. | |
been unveiled as the teacher that made Sir Alex Ferguson formidable. | :21:35. | :21:40. | |
Today he revealed he was beaten by her many times, and bequeathed the | :21:41. | :21:45. | |
belt when she died. He believes the punishment made him the man he is | :21:46. | :21:49. | |
today. Is beating character forming or claptrap. Kathy Lette the author | :21:50. | :21:56. | |
of books, including The Boy Who Fell To Earth, and Katy a writer on | :21:57. | :22:05. | |
children's issues. What did you think of it? My reading of it, he | :22:06. | :22:08. | |
didn't talk about the beating but the belt she left him. But the | :22:09. | :22:14. | |
beating did not... The belt was where? He didn't talk about the | :22:15. | :22:17. | |
beating. He talks about the agony of the beating? He was talking about | :22:18. | :22:21. | |
her character, her determination, her energy, those were the three | :22:22. | :22:25. | |
things he picked out. And it was the most fabulous sort of you know, this | :22:26. | :22:30. | |
woman helped to make his character. And what I find fascinating about | :22:31. | :22:35. | |
it, is not so much the beating, but all the sorts of things that | :22:36. | :22:39. | |
teachers, you know, eccentric and wonderful teachers could do in those | :22:40. | :22:43. | |
days that they couldn't bossably do now. For instance that -- possibly | :22:44. | :22:47. | |
do now for instance she turned up at the houses of the children playing | :22:48. | :22:51. | |
truant, saying if he's not here today I will be here tomorrow. Are | :22:52. | :22:54. | |
you appalled when you hear of it? Yeah I am. What sort of character | :22:55. | :22:59. | |
did it turn him into, he has the compassion and warmth of a bit of | :23:00. | :23:03. | |
rock. If you want to build your character surely you go and work for | :23:04. | :23:06. | |
the peace corp or go and volunteer for Oxfam. This whole idea of | :23:07. | :23:10. | |
beating children to discipline them, I find it is abhorrent, but it is | :23:11. | :23:19. | |
also lacking in logicic, , how often to you see people in the supermarket | :23:20. | :23:23. | |
with kids fighting and the parent is hitting them saying "hitting is | :23:24. | :23:28. | |
wrong". It is more inventive to embarrass them, to yodel, belly | :23:29. | :23:34. | |
dance. Do something to mortify them. That chaotic parenting, in sharp | :23:35. | :23:38. | |
contrast to a teacher who says come to my office, 1.00 sharp and you | :23:39. | :23:44. | |
know it has been planned and thought out? To be honest, what I think we | :23:45. | :23:49. | |
have lost is we're so, the way teachers teach now is so regulated | :23:50. | :23:54. | |
that there isn't room for any kind of you know, when I was a child, | :23:55. | :23:58. | |
when I was at school teachers could teach something we were passionate | :23:59. | :24:01. | |
about. Now you have to teach this and this and this, you have to tick | :24:02. | :24:07. | |
all the boxes. If this was a conversation about dogs, should we | :24:08. | :24:10. | |
beat our dogs to teach them how to behave, the whole country would be | :24:11. | :24:14. | |
up in arms, I sometimes think England prefers dogs to kids, you | :24:15. | :24:17. | |
keep your dogs at home and send your kids off to high-class kennels | :24:18. | :24:26. | |
called Eton and hare low! -- Harrow! Sir Alex Ferguson is a man that | :24:27. | :24:29. | |
thousands of men and little boys would love to be and emulate. If you | :24:30. | :24:33. | |
said this is how you get a character like that, what would your kids say? | :24:34. | :24:39. | |
It is not loving football, is he such a good role model. We know he | :24:40. | :24:43. | |
disciplined Beckham by throwing a shoe at his head and cutting his | :24:44. | :24:48. | |
eye. His own son was up on an assault charge. It is a cycle of | :24:49. | :24:52. | |
viciousness. I can tell you have never trained a big dog, we have a | :24:53. | :24:55. | |
second Great Dane, if he does anything wrong, a Great Dane doesn't | :24:56. | :24:59. | |
know for instance that a chicken is not a toy. The first time he grabbed | :25:00. | :25:04. | |
a chicken, I did exactly what my daughter told me to do, and she read | :25:05. | :25:10. | |
veterinary science, I ran and bit his ear because that is what his | :25:11. | :25:13. | |
mother would do. Is there a difference between the way you | :25:14. | :25:16. | |
discipline your children? Going back to this preciousness, my father was | :25:17. | :25:23. | |
a headmaster of a prep school and conscientious objecter, he abolished | :25:24. | :25:27. | |
corporal punishment when he went there. But my mother had a dog | :25:28. | :25:31. | |
called Prince that came to the school us, and at half time the | :25:32. | :25:35. | |
matron said to my father, headmaster we have run out of sticking plaster | :25:36. | :25:39. | |
because your dog has bitten every child in the school. These days the | :25:40. | :25:43. | |
school has been closed down. Did your father regret taking corporal | :25:44. | :25:47. | |
punishment out of the school system? No he didn't. It is not something | :25:48. | :25:52. | |
you could see produced or recommended? What is the psychology | :25:53. | :25:56. | |
that lasts in their mind. Think about the English boys that went to | :25:57. | :26:02. | |
private school, they can't pass a perversion without pulling over. It | :26:03. | :26:06. | |
is destructive. We are getting off the point, read the article that | :26:07. | :26:10. | |
Alex Ferguson wrote, he's not talking about being beaten every | :26:11. | :26:14. | |
day. He is. He's not. He's talking about the inspiration of a woman who | :26:15. | :26:18. | |
was completely committed, whatever it took, to making something of | :26:19. | :26:24. | |
these boys. They were truanting all the time she stopped them. Do you | :26:25. | :26:29. | |
think though we yes or no for place where the teachers -- yern for place | :26:30. | :26:33. | |
where the teachers have a power and the children knew where they are, | :26:34. | :26:38. | |
there was an elegance of who was in charge? I don't think we yearn for | :26:39. | :26:42. | |
that, it is the same if you train a dog you reward and not punish, you | :26:43. | :26:47. | |
ignore bad behaviour. Do you hit your kids? I hit my son once, and of | :26:48. | :26:54. | |
course my guilt gland throbbed and I was mortified. What I'm seeing now | :26:55. | :26:58. | |
is all my women friends have teenage daughters and they are being hit by | :26:59. | :27:02. | |
their teenage daughters. Living with a teenage daughter is like living | :27:03. | :27:05. | |
with the Taliban, you are not allowed to laugh, sing, dance or | :27:06. | :27:10. | |
wear short skirts, a survival tip, if they are hitting you or whatever, | :27:11. | :27:17. | |
take a drag of a cigarette and a gulp of wine. We will take you | :27:18. | :27:21. | |
through the papers tomorrow as you can imagine the Crimea dominates | :27:22. | :27:26. | |
most of them. Russia invading Crimea. Fear of Ukraine conflict. | :27:27. | :27:30. | |
That is the front page of the Guardian. | :27:31. | :28:18. | |
That's it for tonight, but we argued all day about whether to end the | :28:19. | :28:24. | |
programme on amazing pictures of thousands of starlings flocking over | :28:25. | :28:29. | |
Hereford, or the equally beautiful pictures of the Aurora Borealis over | :28:30. | :28:33. | |
Britain last night. Then we thought, sod it! | :28:34. | :29:25. | |
Turning cold out there with frost. Fog patches likely in the morning. | :29:26. | :29:30. | |
Not as cold | :29:31. | :29:32. |
