That line of thought seemed to be more prevalent at Viva El Birdos yesterday as well. (Of course, I also was taken to task for stating I’d have rather them move Brian Barden instead, something I still hold.

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).

By quarter past one, Unionist party officials were negotiating to extend their booking of the Waterfront Hall. It was not clear whether Mr Trimble would get any lunch, or whether he would still be leader of the Ulster Unionist’s when the meeting closed. On Saturday David Trimble expected the Unionist Council meeting to be over by quarter past one, so he reserved a table for lunch at Tatu’s on the Lisburn Road. By quarter past one, Unionist party officials were negotiating to extend their booking of the Waterfront Hall. It was not clear whether Mr Trimble would get any lunch, or whether he would still be leader of the Ulster Unionist’s when the meeting closed.
During the day, most commentators expected him to lose, and at various stages that was also his own assessment.
Not that this worried him; Mr Trimble will not stoop to conquer his party. But prevail he did, even though the speeches seemed to be going against him. He won because of thequiet people, who sat and listened patiently before voting to sustain his leadership. He made it to Tatu’s for a late lunch at teatime.The Good Friday Agreement will be lucky to make it until the next Good Friday. Despite Mr Trimble’s victory it is still beset by fundamental difficulties. Mr Trimble himself is quite prepared to bring about the collapse of the new devolved institutions, and expects that this will probably happen. Equally, most of those who voted for him on Saturday did not do so because they want peace at any price, but because they trust him to bring down the executive if that becomes necessary.Mr Trimble is determined to ensure that, if it does occur, the collapse will be on Unionist terms.
That was his sole reason for resisting the calls for a Christmas deadline on decommissioning. During the negotiations to reconvene the executive, there was agreement on a June 2001 deadline. Decommissioning cannot be done overnight, however, and back in May, General de Chastelain, in charge of monitoring, said that if there was no movement by March there would be no decommissioning by June.That is why Mr Trimble favours a March deadline. He could then announce to the world that though his party had been prepared to implement the Good Friday Agreement – as modified by subsequent Unionist concessions – Sinn Fein was intransigent It was to blame for its collapse This would be a strong case. Undoubtedly, it would not play as well as it ought to; world opinion will find any excuse to deny Ulster Unionists a fair ration of credit.
But it would at least give the Unionists a chance of taking the moral high ground.That much-disputed region will see a further contest this week. As part of the deal that brought its ministers back to the executive, Sinn Fein was supposed to be in regular contact with General de Chastelain It has made one phone call since May But Mr Trimble has a sanction. As First Minister, he signs the invitations entitling other ministers to participate in North/South talks; there is due to be a session on Friday. Mr Trimble has announced that Sinn Fein ministers cannot participate unless they have spoken to the General.One vague phone call would earn them their entrance ticket, but the world would then know that they had been obliged to do what Mr Trimble told them.
Sinn Fein hates it when their supporters – or they themselves – are reminded that the Unionists and the British still have power in Northern Ireland It is also under some pressure in its own heartlands. The provos recently felt it necessary to murder the Real IRA’s commander in Belfast, and that is unlikely to be the last such incident.In its refusal to truckle to Trimble – as it will no doubt describe its failure to keep its word – Sinn Fein will probably be able to rely on support from its allies in Dublin and in the SDLP. There seems no limit to Dublin’s moral shoddiness or Seamus Mallon’s melodramatics. So forget January; the new devolved institutions could be under siege by the end of this week, for David Trimble will not give way – unless Peter Mandelson can transform private statements into public policy.This difficulty arises over the Patten Report on the RUC Ninety per cent of that document was uncontentious But the other 10 per cent was damaging and offensive.

The most important questions in economics always come in the simplest form, and this one is enormously important. We have just had the current account figures for the final quarter of last year, when sterling suddenly shot up to within a whisker of its old ERM rate. It has come at the end of a year of decent, if unspectacular, growth, and a decent, if unspectacular, rise in living standards. And at a time when UK house prices have at last begun to rise in earnest.
Popular wisdom would have expected that under these circumstances the current account deficit would widen sharply as a result of rising imports, for whenever Britons have felt prosperous in the past they have tended to rush out and buy things that have been made abroad.But this time it does not seem to have happened. Instead of the current account deficit widening in the final quarter of the year, it disappeared In fact there was a surplus of pounds 873m. It is a bit like the time when everyone predicted that sterling’s devaluation following the exit from the ERM would lead to a surge in inflation: most were wrong.When figures turn out to be very different from what might be expected there are three possible explanations: the figures are wrong; the figures are right, but there has not yet been time for the economy to respond to the change, so after a time-lag the figures will move in the expected direction; and something radical has changed.The first explanation is always worth testing.
