In cases where corporate headquarters have moved to new green premises the result has been

In cases where corporate headquarters have moved to new “green” premises the result has been a significant cut in absenteeism.Setting a target date around 2005 for zero-emission city centres would propel car manufacturers into mass producing hybrid vehicles that could be electrically powered in pollution-free zones or when pollution levels are high. New offices that are naturally ventilated and lit not only save energy; they also produce more amenable working conditions. Using the latest lighting technology, the lighting load could be reduced, even in older buildings, at the same time improving on current illumination standards for work stations. However, public support for such a target may be more forthcoming if the spotlight shifts from global warming to things that more directly and immediately concern us.
For example, with 8 million households receiving some form of benefit, we can assume that a high proportion of these and the “nearly poor” are victims of fuel poverty. Cutting their fuel bills in half by raising the thermal efficiency of their homes would meet an acute social need whilst generating jobs and cutting down on the pounds 1bn annual health bill attributable to poor housing.The greatest energy cost in commercial buildings is the electricity bill for lighting. It is certainly an ambitious undertaking, but attainable. I should like to counter the suggestion by Hugh Aldersey-Williams (report, 2 February) that, in setting a target of a 20 per cent cut in carbon dioxide emissions by 2010, the British government is guilty of harmful idealism.

If it is true that only the best art survives its own lifetime, we will never discover what is best in the music of today if it is not heard.. It is a myth that very few people want to hear contemporary art music. The problem is that the people who don’t want to hear it are the ones who have the most disposable income, the most free time, and the loudest voices. If there is a dictatorship of modern music, these people provide it, sustaining the 1990s “bums on seats” justification for artistic enterprise that Mr Webber espouses.
No audience, orchestra or cellist should try to influence what is felt by minds more creative and sensitive than their own and living composers should not allow their curiosity to be marginalised by mediocrity and commercialism. It’s time to stop this hysterical scapegoating of people who are doing nothing wrong.. Julian Lloyd Webber (“Stop the dictators of modern music”, 22 February) and others who insist on performing classical works by dead and populist composers are not pro-culture, but anti-culture.

For every performance of Schumann’s Cello Concerto, or CD sale of Britten, there are at least 30 professional musicians, a conductor and a fashionable soloist commanding figures for which most young composers could create a whole new work of art. A little out of proportion, don’t you think?I’m asking for someone to speak out for the two-pints drinker, who wants to drive home without fear of being an easy target for a lazy police statistic. Five hundred “alcohol- related” road deaths amongst tens of thousands of others. He gets changed into a fish.Me: A fish?Disney: And gets chased by the shark.Me: What shark?Disney: The shark that helps Jesus walk on the water.Me: But what …?Aide: I’m sorry Five minutes is up.. It seems that nothing, in recent memory, has aroused such universal compliance as the nation’s collective repugnance for drink-driving.

Such moral high ground, and the rush to be part of it, should be regarded with some suspicion. Two pints does not make a drunk, yet getting caught is likely to brand you a “drunk-driver” for the rest of your life (report, 3 February)

Most people who stop for a drink leave after two pints I do it, as do many of my friends. We’re not drunks, fiends, or killers of children on zebra crossings, and after two pints we obey every cat’s-eye. We actually drive more carefully after two pints.
Our reactions are not any slower than they are first thing in the morning, when we are in a hurry to get to work, suffering from a cold, daydreaming, angry, preoccupied, or in any of the states of mind and body we drive in, and about which there can be no legislation. That’s what people are going to cheer for.Me: When he gets zapped?Disney: By a thunderbolt Pow!Me: And he dies?Disney: No. The point we are emphasising is that Pontius Pilate will get his comeuppance.

The important thing is to affirm that Jesus is living.Me: Do you mean that Jesus doesn’t get crucified?Disney: Well, we don’t say that he isn’t crucified But it all takes place a little off-screen. But Pontius Pilate will probably be a dwarf.Me: Why?Disney: So that people do not feel sorry for him when he gets zapped.Me: Pardon?Disney: We have been rethinking the end to the New Testament story.Me: Hold on. Do you mean that Jesus doesn’t get crucified?Disney: Disney has never been pro-violence. We are very sensitive to any accusations that children might be corrupted by on-screen violence.Me: Do you mean that Jesus does not actually get crucified in the end?Disney: The whole message of the New Testament is that Jesus is alive at the end He doesn’t die in the long run. He is based loosely on Doubting Thomas, and he will be the cute, comic one.Me: How do you have a cute, comic disciple?Disney: Because whenever he prays he gets the wrong answer to his prayers.Me: Hmm Will the disciples be dwarves?Disney: No That would not be dignified. How are you visualising the 12 disciples?Disney: As of right now, we are envisaging only seven disciples. We’ve established Jesus as a baby in the manger …Me: Gurgling and chuckling, like Mowgli in The Jungle Book? Already doing miracles in the crib? With the animals making googoo eyes over the edge of the cot? And the baby donkeys and oxen playing games, tossing the gold, myrrh and frankincense back and forth? And a few birds singing gospel songs in black voices?Disney: Why, yes! How did you know?Me: I have seen Disney films before, you know.

The 20-year-old was on a design course but is currently unemployed.He said his sons were “very, very seriously hampered” by the quality of their schooling and blamed not only a question of resources through cuts in Haringey’s standard spending assessment, but also attitudes and standards.”The staff believe the kids won’t make it. He was appalled at the standard of comprehensive education in his area, he told MPs at yesterday’s Parliamentary Labour Party meeting.In an interview with the Independent afterwards, he frankly admitted that with hindsight he regretted not considering the private sector for his children, but his former position as leader of Haringey council in north London had made that unthinkable.For the father of three sons, one now 20 and twins of 18, the sense of disappointment is palpable from a man once regarded as a high priest of political correctness.He declined to name the Haringey school that is still attended by one of the twins, who is studying for A-levels with the help of pounds 20-an-hour private tuition to “get him up to scratch”.The other twin is training as a chef.

“The comprehensive schools in inner-city areas of London are very bad indeed, and are failing our children.” Thus said Bernie Grant, the left- wing Labour MP for Tottenham, north London, speaking from bitter experience.It must have been beyond Tony Blair’s wildest expectations that the one- time black radical would give such overwhelming backing to the choice made by Harriet Harman.The 51-year-old MP could not have been more uncompromising. He became an MP in 1970, serving as a member of the foreign affairs committee and chairing the parliamentary supervisors of the Bank of Finland. In the two years that preceded his move into politics in the mid-1960s he was a member of the Finnish delegation at the UN, a year after graduating from Helsinki University in 1962. He rose to prominence in politics as secretary general of the National Coalition Party in 1965, becoming chairman in 1971 until 1979. It is not so long ago that a poster campaign to sell a snooker tournament needed only two words: Hurricane Warning.

She became the “poet of metal”.In 1943 she opened an exquisite small boutique on the Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honore, near the Elysee Palace; her buttons filled her windows. Over the entrance stood a statue of St Eligius, the patron saint of goldsmiths. The same year she opened a theatrical atelier in the Marais where her objects were actually created. The former Hotel Megret de Serilly was a vast 26-room building in the Rue Vieille du Temple which had formerly belonged to Louis XVI’s Paymaster-General.Vautrin was a pioneer in the rediscovery of the Marais (later to be restored at the instigation of Andre Malraux). Her workshop was hailed as a model social enterprise: its staff of 50 or so employees was provided with common rooms for relaxation, a library and a refectory on the top floor, as well as the novel possibility of working part-time from home, free from the constraints of the workshop.These years in the Fifties were perhaps Vautrin’s most productive. In addition to buttons, brooches and buckles she also produced big, barbaric necklaces influenced by her research into ancient goldsmiths’ work in the archaeological museums of Cairo and on the island of Crete With time, her artistic pretensions grew.

Many of her more serious, larger pieces bore inscriptions such as lines from her favourite poets, Dante or Prevert and the neo-romantics. Important jewels and her popular powder compacts and boxes were given complex mythological symbols or one of those visual riddles called a rebus, so beloved of medieval craftsmen. Like works of art, she gave her pieces titles.She conceived the idea of buttons made of blown glass containing tiny ships, buttons serving as scent bottles; since there was little mother- of-pearl or synthetic ivory to be had in 1946, why not buttons made of ceramic? She produced hundreds of clips, brooches, bracelets and boxes – among them brooches called Petit Poucet (“Tom Thumb”), Oiseau volant (“Bird in Flight”); boxes entitled Empreintes digitales (“Fingerprints”), and Ammonite.In the early 1960s higher rents and restlessness led Vautrin to leave the Marais. She threw herself into the new technique she had patented, based on synthetic resin, which was then encrusted with little pieces of couloured mirror-glass. She set up on the Rue de l’Universite where she stayed for several years, also opening a branch in Morocco. She had became increasingly interested in decoration and began to make convex looking-glasses with elaborate faceted and encrusted frames She called these confections her “witches”. One of the first to buy a “witch” was her friend Francoise Sagan.

Ingrid Bergman and Yul Brynner soon followed and – the fashionable seal of approval – Brigitte Bardot.After she turned 50 she became fed up with the business and its pressing obligations, so gave up manufacturing and selling and turned instead to teaching, spending the next decade showing a succession of students how to handle and design with resins, and travelling around France as the spirit moved her. In 1980 she accidentally discovered a new kind of object – “pellimorphoses” – almost intangible wraiths of coloured resin in which there swarmed a host of chimeras, dragons or birds.The sale of her jewellery at the Hotel Drouot in Paris in 1986, led to her discovery by the London art dealer David Gill, who began to show her work in London, New York, Tokyo (with Rei Kawakubo of Comme des Garcons) and other places outside France, while Naila de Montbrisson gave exhibitions in in Paris. Two books about her work, Line Vautrin (Thames & Hudson, 1992) and Rebus (Le Promeneur, 1994) followed.Line Vautrin herself was small, dark, sharp, lively and witty – the incarnation of the ideal Parisienne for whom her creations were designed.Patrick MauriesLine Vautrin, jewellery maker and decorative artist: born Paris 28 April 1913; married Jacques- Armand Bonnaud (marriage dissolved; one daughter); died Paris 12 April 1997..

In identifying the consideration received for the option, the sum necessary to obtain the release was to be taken into account, even though at the time of the option agreement the expenditure had not yet been incurred and the amount had not been ascertained.

A simple look at the clock ticking would have sufficed.Maybe it’s the supposedly improved offensive line that can’t seem to handle a four-man rush from a re-tooled defensive line? Clausen was sacked how many times?Maybe it’s the basic fundamentals, like tackling, that prove Weis needs to spend less time in the film room scheming other teams and spend more time on the field giving the tackling dummies a workout?Maybe it’s a head coach saying at half-time he was glad he was only down by six points?Maybe it’s the fans being jack-hammered into buying into the philosophy that “playing with the elites” is the same thing as “beating the elites”?

NAIROBI, Jan 31 (Reuters) – More than 50 people died in Kenya when an oil spill from a crashed truck caught fire as hundreds of people crowded round it, the local Red Cross said on Saturday.

What we have managed to create is an unusual balance between relevant work experience and personal care and attention.”For many youngsters, the more academic parts of the National Curriculum are irrelevant, say experts. “Every one of the lads who has passed through Revitalise has found the vocational element of the course useful,” said project leader Trevor Blackman. “Who, on the face of it, is going to give work to kids with a history like that?” asked Michael Grier of Tate & Lyle, one of the biggest employers in the London borough of Newham. “Yet if you look a little deeper, you can see there are a range of behavioural, social and family factors contributing to the problem. As a local business, we want a thriving community around us and we feel we can contribute something towards achieving that.”Tate & Lyle lent its in-house photographer to the project in the start- up phase and, in a less direct way, its mentoring and literacy projects, mock interview training, help with filling in application forms, visits to its Beckton filtration plant and book donations to Newham schools are having a beneficial, long-term effect on educational standards in the borough.Mowlem, meanwhile, provided an instructor at its national training centre in Beckton to teach the boys bricklaying.

“The work I did at Revitalise was more relevant than a lot of the National Curriculum. It has helped me prepare for getting a job.”The parts played by Tate & Lyle, Mowlem the builders and the Docklands motorcycle project have been vital to the project’s success. Meanwhile, a liaison officer between school and programme helped to re-integrate Marc into full-time education and provided an essential sense of continuity.”I am doing better in class and enjoy the work,” said Marc, now back at school full-time. The project has multi-agency backing from local groups such as Newham Education Business Partnership and the London East Training and Enterprise Council.For a few hours each weekday, Marc learnt the rudiments of bricklaying, music and information technology, motorcycle maintenance and arts and crafts. More than 100,000 are temporarily excluded.
But, paradoxically, Marc was thrown a lifeline because of his exclusion.

While attending school on a part-time basis, he joined the Revitalise project, in which disaffected pupils – all but one of the 54 is male- get vocational training under the auspices of Newham’s youth and community service. It’s a story all too common in today’s inner- city comprehensives as police, educationalists, youth workers, employers and the Government’s social exclusion unit know only too well. The number of pupils permanently excluded from school for disruptive behaviour and repeated truancy has been rising steadily. Nationally there were 13,500 in 1996-97, up from 11,100 in 1994-95. Some 40 per cent of robberies are committed by 12- to 16-year-olds and 5 per cent are committed by children in school time.

“There was also that time,” it read, “you beat the holy hell out of me. And we lied at the X-ray I said I fell off a bike.”Mr Petrocelli, the Goldman family attorney, has repeatedly tried to destroy, in full-frontal attack, any lingering image of Mr Simpson as the dream athlete “He’s lying, he’s lying, he’s lying,” he said. “And he got caught, got caught, got caught.”Yesterday in a dramatic finale he asked jurors to make Mr Simpson pay his client, Fred Goldman, for the loss of “his lovely living boy”, Ronald “You can’t give him back his son,” he said. “All you can do is make Mr Simpson pay for what he did.”Members of Mr Simpson’s legal team have been telling reporters that they have won over three or four jurors.

They will need at least three, because in the civil case, a 9-3 majority suffices. A hung jury would be a major victory for Mr Simpson, with little likelihood of a retrial, it is said.. In a Pennsylvania town aptly called Media, the trial is getting under way of John du Pont, the millionaire chemical heir who is accused of fatally shooting an Olympic champion wrestler on his estate almost one year ago. With a straggling white beard and drawn face, Mr du Pont is believed to be richest man ever to face first-degree murder charges in American history. For that reason alone Media is braced for a media assault.
That Mr du Pont, who is 58, killed the wrestler, Dave Schultz, on 26 January last year is not likely to be disputed. The trial, which is set to begin in earnest on Monday and last about a month, will turn on defence claims that Mr du Pont was clinically insane at the time.The point was made clearly to the court by Judge Patricia Jenkins as the selection of jury members began this week.”It may be that the dispute underlying this case will be the mental state of Mr du Pont at the time,” she said.Mr Schultz was living on Mr du Pont’s extensive Foxcatcher Estate on the outside of Philadelphia where he was employed as a coach in a private wrestling school.Mr du Pont had a longtime passion for the sport.

The defendant shot Mr Schultz, pumping three bullets into his chest from close range, after confronting him outside the wrestler’s house.Witnesses are expected to testify that Mr du Pont had been exhibiting eccentric behaviour for at least four years prior to the shooting. After his arrest, the famous heir was admitted to a state mental hospital and treated for schizophrenia.Mr du Pont is said in particular to suffer from extravagant delusions that he is alternatively either Jesus Christ, the Dalai Lama or the last surviving child of the Russian Royal family.He has also insisted that he is the target of an international assassination plot.Lawyers for Mr du Pont have said in court papers that he suffers from “severe paranoid schizophrenia manifested by multiple grandiose and persecution delusions and disorganisation of thought”.Seated in the court yesterday was the widow of Mr Schultz, Nancy, who is expected to remain for the entire trial. For his part, Mr du Pont spent the day yesterday staring vacantly and blankly around the courtroom. He was wearing a “Foxcatcher” wrestling sweatshirt in court.On Mr du Pont’s pay, meanwhile, are jury consultants who worked for O J Simpson.

“It all happened so long ago, but standing next to the grave brought things I’d long forgotten back to my mind.”"When I first heard of this I was sure there had been a mistake, but now I’m satisfied that the right thing has been done.”George was a thoughtful sort of person, totally dedicated to the RAF It has been such a long time. How could Karen Morgan live like a “medieval monk” for 14 years, retreating from the outside world to live in her bare bedroom, seeing only her mother and ordering her about through handwritten notes?

The 29-year-old’s bizarre existence was revealed last week at Clapham Coroners’ Court, south London, which heard how she had shunned the outside world and died with wasted muscles last April. I’m quite overwhelmed by the effect this seems to have had on so many people and the work that has gone in to establishing the truth. George would have liked that.”But while one mystery has been resolved, another remains: who is the dead airman in Slipje cemetery?Frank Raeman said: “We think we may be able to discover who this other man is These things are important There are too many graves of unknown men in Belgium.”. The Commonwealth War Graves Commission takes tremendous pains to establish correct identities, but it appears that in the fog of war, the co-ordinates recording the crash site became slightly mixed.”Last week the Ministry of Defence paid to fly Sqn Ldr Reid’s only surviving relative, his brother John, 74, from California to attend the funeral.”I found the ceremony extremely moving,” he said.

“It is not appropriate to apportion any blame in this instance. You have to remember that 11,000 Allied planes came down over the low countries during the war. It then appears that George Reid, flying at a height of 200ft, flew into thick cloud and experienced some sort of instrument failure.Sgt Bush said: “The operational log said ‘entered low cloud and lost Sqn Ldr Reid due to some dicey cloud flying’.”The Spitfire crashed in marshy land. A ground crew recovery team, believing the pilot had baled out, bulldozed over the site. Subsequently another RAF pilot, who had crashed a few miles away at about the same time, was recovered, wrongly identified and buried as George Reid.”This is a very unusual case,”said Gp Capt David Hencken, defence attache at the Belgian Embassy.

The Canadian-born officer was scrambled again at 2.50pm to join the escort of 250 bombers in an attack on Cologne.All went well until they approached the Dutch/Belgian border. There could be no doubt about it.”Examination of the squadron’s operational records reveal that on the day of his death, October 28 , the 26 year-old had taken off from Biggin Hill, Kent, to escort bombers on a raid against the heavily defended Walcherea Island off the Belgian coast The squadron returned without loss at 12.30pm. A mangled panel covering the Spitfire’s fuel tank was found to have a pencil-written note still attached.”A rigger had written that this piece of the plane belonged to MK453 [the airframe serial number] That identified the plane as belonging to 91 Squadron We had found Sqn Ldr Reid’s plane. “We kept coming across the name Sqn Ldr George Reid, but were forced to discount it because checks with the Commonwealth War Graves Commission revealed that he had been buried 30 miles away, in the village churchyard in Slipje, near Ostend.” The search team seemed to have run up against insurmountable difficulties, when good fortune took a hand.

We certainly don’t want the old-style Labour wish list covering, as you put it, “everything from stray cats to world disarmament”. All the signs are that the electorate are not looking for detailed policies unless they are properly worked out and costed Some of those are being developed or introduced this week Others will follow. Since the triumph of replacing Clause IV and the development of policy after that, a programme has begun slowly to take shape (see Times cutting, attached, top). Should JP(2) prepare a paper on this?The projectI am significantly less worried than I was about what I called in May “the lack of a political project that matches the Thatcher agenda of 1979, nor one that will be able to sustain Labour in government and transform Britain”. As you well know, our focus groups of disaffected Tory voters aren’t keen on an uncritical line towards the EU; we must avoid ending up outflanked and looking more pro-European than the Europeans themselves.

Second, Europe: the current disarray over EMU could ease voter- alienating Tory division, particularly since the Euro-rebels were warmly disposed towards Rifkind’s “British interests” speech at Chatham House. The new government has shaken off a lot of its sleazy image – at least for the time being.Two other key points: first, GB has once again, in his speech yesterday, brilliantly put the Government on the spot over the windfall tax But they could still shoot our fox on this. Of course, it would mean at least 24 hours of huge embarrassment for Clarke after his Budget speech in November; but it would also give them another pounds 3bn for potential tax cuts. This is going to be increasingly important from the late autumn. The only question in town that matters isgoing to be “can Labour be stopped?” And we can expect to see the Daily Mail and maybe the Sun joining the Daily Express in trying to make the answer yes This is obviously AC territory. But the government reshuffle has been at least partly successful.

On the one hand our private polling shows quite a settled view on the part of the electorate that Heseltine is there because of a deal to save Major’s skin, whichworks against Major’s public image. But Heseltine is certainly an effective presenter (who yesterday appointed his own personal press spokesman) and as Major’s main front man, along with Clarke, is capable of drawing blood from us. And don’t forget the Tories were helped by two giveaway budgets of just the sort that Clarke may try and pull. Nothing could more underline the importance of the campaign itself and the current work being undertaken by JP(1) and PM on target seats.How the Tories could recoverJuly wasn’t, of course, a Tory relaunch. Yet in the month before the election our lead narrowed to only three points and on polling day Labour’s share of the vote was less than 1 per cent over that of the Tories. We are 19 months away from the last moment that John Major can call the election.

At the same point in 1963 Gallup had Labour at 50 points, and in the summer of that year its lead over the Tories went up to 20 points – amazing for that era (graph attached).The government had been engulfed in sleaze; the prime minister was widely regarded as ineffective, and Labour had a hugely popular leader in Harold Wilson (personal approval rating after the 1963 party conference of 67 per cent compared with the newly chosen Sir Alec Douglas Home’s 42). While it is true that no government has had ratings so low for so long as the present one, it might help to stress Labour’s extraordinary experience in the run-up to the 1964 election.

The “Big Three” goes to the Mets, but it is as close as it gets.  The score is Mets two, Phillies one. Now, consider the secondary heroes.  Shane Victorino and Luis Castillo match up pretty nicely.  I think that Victorino is better than Castillo on almost everything, but if Castillo gets back to old form, he might be closer to Victorino’s ability. Now, Carlos Delgado and Raul Ibanez.  Raul Ibanez is a newcomer on the Phillies. A glorified backup. Other News- Beyond the Box Score wonders what’s going on with Chad Cordero?

What was officially described as a “fairly tense situation” arose when Yugoslav soldiers demanded rooms in a hotel, only to be told none were available.On the one hand, their independent standpoint cannot be tolerated by Belgrade. On the other, further conflict in Montenegro might help to distract Serbs from rebelling against their own government.In an interview with The Independent this month, President Djukanovic made it clear that Montenegro would certainly seek to break away from Serbia if Mr Milosevic remains in power. In those circumstances, he said, a single Yugoslav federation was “not feasible”. Mr Djukanovic acknowledged that such a breakaway would almost certainly be accompanied by civil war. Montenegro was an independent kingdom before union with Serbia in 1918.The army this week turned back an Italian lorry of humanitarian aid, after confiscating the aid itself.

Two truckloads of French medical and food aid were confiscated at the weekend.The current tensions may recede again in the next few days, for the moment at least. But none of the underlying difficulties has been solved.Control over Montenegro’s borders has in recent weeks been ambivalent. Its government seeks to allow foreigners in, but the army does not recognise the government’s authority to issue entry papers.The government has tried hard to remain uninvolved in the war. For Belgrade, this merely compounds the Montenegrins’ offence They are now accused of “treachery”.. SHE WAS a beautiful little girl, 18 months old, who had been loved. She was found alone and crying on the steps of a mosque in Kukes. The only words she said were, “Mother, truck, KLA.”

The little girl, who was given the name Atdhetare, is one of several hundred children who have arrived in Albania and Macedonia without any adults after being ethnically cleansed from Kosovo.

They are being looked after by adoptive families with the usually forlorn hope of being reunited with their parents.
Yesterday, in recognition of the need to care and counsel these lost boys and girls as well as 160,000 other children in refugee camps, the UN children’s body Unicef and the United Nations High Commissioner for refugees signed an agreement in Tirana to establish “Child Friendly Spaces.”The centres, in 20 camps in Albania, will provide education, sports and other aspects of childhood which have so far been missing.The children are receiving psychological counselling after their traumatic experiences. Many have seen relations and neighbours killed and have been chased out of their homes – which have been burnt behind them. Some saw their mothers and sisters raped.Child Friendly Spaces will not only attempt to give structure to the lives of the children, but also protection. There have been persistent reports of teenage girls lured or abducted into prostitution from the camps, boys enmeshed in criminality, and others wanting to become boy soldiers in Kosovo.In addition, 3,000 pre-packed schools are being flown into Albania. The scheme has the backing of Nato and will be overseen by the OSCE.Atdhetare, which means “love of homeland” in Albania, was treated for bronchitis and diarrhoea and placed with the Misini family of 17 children and 18 adults, themselves refugees.

The search to find their natural parents had not so far been successful. The girl was terrified of large vehicles and men in uniforms, but with the efforts of Unicef counsellors she seems to be recovering from her greatest fears.One nine-year-old boy, asked to portray his home, kept drawing a rug. At first he would not say why, but eventually burst into tears and told how the family were forced to move home 17 times and the only thing left from the original home was the rug which he had faithfully rolled up and taken with him through his travels.Then there was the 14-year-old girl who lay in a foetal position for two weeks and would not talk. She too has recovered to an extent after counselling.Robert Cohen, of Unicef, said: “It takes a while to draw these children out. When we first start working with them they tell the same kind of stories and make the same kinds of drawings that children make everywhere in the world – fairy tales and nursery rhymes, pretty houses, trees and flowers. But once they begin to unburden themselves in the drawings the houses catch fire, there are bodies among the flowers and the stories are of people killing and burning.”These children have been through often unimaginable experiences, but they are astonishingly resilient and hopefully most will recover,” he said.. A NATO missile reduced a hospital ward almost to rubble early yesterday and, according to medical staff, killed four patients and injured a number of people.

Journalists who were allowed to visit Dr Dragisa Misovic hospital in Belgrade’s affluent Dedinje area, said one missile appeared to have hit the neurological ward and another landed beside it, destroying a side wall and leaving a crater, which was filling up with leaking sewage.
Nato said one of seven laser-guided bombs went astray and hit a building 500 yards from the target, a military barracks, but had no details about the type of building hit.”Unfortunately, we have to confirm that four patients were killed and health workers were injured,” said Dr Moma Jakovljevic, head of the neurological ward.The maternity and gynaecological sections were also damaged, with only a few windows remaining intact Newly born babies and pregnant women were transferred. One child was slightly injured.”They [Nato] probably thought soldiers were being treated in the maternity ward,” said Marija Simonovic, 65, who came to inspect the damage. “I’m not saying it was done deliberately, but it’s shameful how ignorant, arrogant and careless their behaviour has become,” she added.Hospital beds could be seen hanging out of huge holes in the walls. Others were scattered across a park, apparently thrown out by the blast. A large Red Cross flag clearly marking the building was still fluttering from its roof (Reuters).
