I haven’t seen that before

Clive Myrie had a tear in his eye on the BBC News on Friday, I think the newsreaders are as shocked as the rest of us.

It must be very difficult sometimes for news presenters, it’s a wonder it doesn’t happen more often. Charlene has had a difficult week, her co presenter on loose women Brenda Edwards lost her son Jamal this week , very sudden and unexpected apparently. My heart goes out to them.

I feel quite worried about Clive Myrie and other reporters in Ukraine now. They are so brave. How will they get out if they need to, with all flights stopped and all roads leading westwards heaving with people naturally trying to escape?

I’m struggling but this, I feel like we are reliving the 1930s, only the names have changed. I’m so afraid for the world right now.

I've shed a few tears myself.

Somehow I feel that Lyce Doucet and Orla Guerin will be OK but I'm a bit worried about Clive Myrie. These two fearless female reporters have been through so many conflicts and dangerous situations. We're lucky to have them.

The reporters have a lot of courage!

I’ve been thinking the same. So so brave and a worry for there families at home watching the news reports.

I just saw Clive Myrie reporting from Kyiv and he is not wearing a helmet or flak jacket.

I’ve followed al the reports since last Thursday and am in awe of Ukraine.

Why hasn’t someone taken Putin out? Surely someone can assassinate him, the man is another Hitler, he is deranged !

Despite all the shortages in the world we somehow never run out of a supply of horrible little men with delusions of importance and a total disregard for the suffering of humanity.

True!

Where is James Bond when we need him?

So awful ...I have Russian friends who are worried about family still living in Russia .....not heard from them for some time and no way to get through to them ...........like most wars or conflicts, this is nothing the people of either Russia or Ukraine want, just the politicians as usual and its the people who suffer ....from what I have seen on TV it seems the people of Ukraine are rallying to the cause admirably, but it is so unnecessary and so sad it has come to this. Now he is threatening to put nuclear armaments on stand by ......the trouble is, if NATO countries go to help, it WILL definitely lead to a third world war ....so what we can all do to help is limited to helping the refugees by donations ....feels sad we can not do more

My lovely doctor son admits he is lying awake at night worrying about the war. How horrible it all is.

Very very worrying. I remember VE day and an now it seems we are back to Chamberlain's 'Peace in our time speech.' I think that unless the West stands firm now we will be into World War 111 by autumn and it will be a nuclear war. I think that Putin has lost so much face that he may well just act like the 'baddie' in the Bond films and send a set of bombs to capital cities all over the world except of course China.

Just looking at those little kids faces is enough to make anyone weep. It's heartbreaking ?

Twiceasnice. This is what I’ve been saying. Is his sanctuary totally impenetrable I wonder! What about our fabulous SAS.

I think there will be private experts working in Ukraine not in military fatigues, guiding them in the fight against the Russian enemy. I just hope that the negotiations between the politicians who are holding talks today will reach agreement. I never thought I would see war in Europe in my lifetime. Thought it was all behind us and lessons had been learned. Interesting how its usually greedy narcisstic men with egos who have no regard for the welfare of other humans.

Probably because like Saddam Hussein and Hitler no-one is able to get near enough to him.

Attempts were made on the two dictators I have mentioned and probably on all and every other dictator. Most of them are paranoid and even those willing to risk their own lives to kill a dictator is highly unlikely to get near enough to him to accomplish the task.

I just hope Putin decides to visit the front, and one of his own shoots him in the back.

grandtanteJE65 hear hear! My thoughts exactly

Well some do get caught Salam Hussain and Col Gadaffe to name two maybe that will happen and can’t be soon enough

Tears well up every time I see the news! Just delivered unwanted clothes and toiletries to local hall to be collected and taken on to Poland for the fleeing people.. At least I've been able to help a little bit, and that gives me a sense of doing something good..
Like the whole world, praying this is over quickly and Putrid Putin, this evil idiot is gotten rid of!!

If I dare to jog people's history, all these historic tinpot dictators were just one man, where it all started.
The world is a different place than even 90 yes ago when Herr Hitler reared his ugly head.
We need to stop this wee little man, now. He's already done far too much damage in this world.
