Shocking CCTV footage shows the moment Russian rockets strike a DIY hypermarket in Kharkiv in an attack that left at least 14 dead and many others wounded. A Russian source posted that this was not a regular DIY store but 'a military base with weapons. Kharkiv mayor Ihor Terekhov said: 'The attack targeted the shopping centre, where there were many people - this is clearly terrorism.'

Friedman: Western Europe sends Israel message it can’t ignore
The decision by three nations to endorse a Palestinian state won’t move Israelis. More than 140 countries and the Holy See have recognized the right of Palestinians to have a state in the West Bank, Gaza and east Jerusalem. What is noteworthy about this move, though, is that major Western European countries, and the U.S., had resisted going there, arguing that peace should be worked out between the two parties. In the short-term, these diplomatic recognitions from fellow democracies will not move the Israeli public, said Yohanan Plesner, president of the Israel Democracy Institute. If that does not transpire, though, Israel is heading for a world of hurt.

Parties urged to put £395bn wealth fund in manifestos
All parties should commit to setting up a sovereign wealth fund in their election manifestos, a think tank has said. Lakshmi Narayanan, chairman of the Sovereign Wealth Fund Institute (SWFI), believes the UK can 'easily' have a £395billion fund within three to five years. Narayanan said it is 'high time' for the UK to announce a sovereign wealth fund' and that a £395billion pool could be a boost for the London stock market. He added: 'Every political party should announce their intention to create a sovereign wealth fund and make it part of their first implementation plan.
