He was a good news man and his predictions were often rather accurate. However, old though he is, this sort of bitter-tweet contribution is no seemly in a senior journo on the state funded BBC.

He never batted an eyelid - this while CNN reporters cowered in their hotel room. Recently,though, he seems to be losing the plot; don't think he's been the same since that friendly fire incident.<br />I am unable to find any reference to the 'Hollande/WW2 punishment beating in the French press & my French sister - in - law who is bilingual & watches both UK & French TV tells me she has only heard it mentioned on...the BBC.
