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.
