1/ Putin's claim that Ukraine is run by 'Nazis' is absurd - Zelensky's government is patently liberal/democratic;

It's also deeply hypocritical, given Putin/United Russia's increasing ultranationalist bent, and Aleksandr Dugin's influence...

#bbcnews #newsnight 2/...But it would be good to see a proper analysis of the armed far-right in both countries;

Some minor reports note the paramilitary Azov Battalion & Right Sector in Ukraine, but almost none detail core far-right elements both of Donbas separatists & the Russian army #Newsnight

1/Some really strong campaigns to protect the arts in England are getting covered - especially for the performance venues worst-hit by the pandemic.

To me, they'd be stronger still if foregrounding the voices of people and communities whose lives have been changed; #r4today 2/I hugely respect the theatre directors & musicians making the case; more compelling still for many might be

young offenders set on a better path

older people escaping loneliness

mothers overcoming post-natal depression

disabled people liberated from isolation
