I switched the TV on this morning and couldn't quite believe what I was watching.
The BBC had some "reporter" donned in full anti blast combat gear, stood in front of a green screen, telling everybody how bad things are there....but behind him is a picture of a normal city going about its business. Here's a still.
It very much reminded me of that infamous clip of them CNN reporters faking a gas attack in the first gulf War.

The question has to be....is Putin on the square?
