Than 200 people could have been inside the diy store. The mayor of kharkiv says there are a large number of people missing following the strike. Earlier this month, Russian Forces began a renewed offensive in the kharkiv region, in an attempt to break through a weakened ukrainian front line. Heres one of the shop workers explaining what happened. Translation i was at work in the Furniture Section when there was the first hit. Me and my colleague fell off our feet, went down and hit the floor. There was a second hit after which we were covered in rubble. We were covered in it, our faces, too. We started to dig our way up to the top. There, the Extinguishing System had started working. We grabbed a few people and an Emergency Service guy who was shopping saved us. He was with a girl that was also shopping and he helped us to get out through the window. Me, my colleague and another boy as well, a shopper, and his girlfriend made it out. 0ur International Editor jeremy bowen is at the scene of the attack in kharkiv. Ive just been talking to the mayor. He said this happened about 4 oclock in the afternoon, which as i speak to you now, is a couple of hours ago. Two people were killed, he says, here in the park, in the parking area. There are, ithink, 11 people, employees of the business who are missing at the moment. Its a diy superstore, an obvious place, you think, for civilians to go on a saturday afternoon. One of the strange incongruities of the war is that in a way, a modicum of normal life does go on while the war continues. So, people were out doing what they had to do when this place was hit, they say, by two russian supplied bombs. Place was hit, they say, by two russian glide bombs. Now, this will underline the anxiety that ukrainians feel about not having suitable air defences. President zelensky has said so repeatedly and hes said so again now after this, that ukraine needs to be able to defend itself, and of course it relies upon its western allies for doing all of that. From the Russian Point of view, this is another sign of their growing strength and the way in which theyre taking advantage of what appears to be a window of opportunity for them to up their Military Effort while ukraine waits for the kind of reinforcements of weapons and ammunition that it wants from its allies, which have been held up, particularly in the united states. And also, while the ukrainians train more troops, theres a manpower shortage, too. So, this, quite frankly, at the moment is for the ukrainians, one of the most anxious periods since those first months after the full scale invasion more than two years ago. Lets speak to artem litvinets, who is in kharkiv. Artem is a chief editor of the factor druk printing house, which was hit on may 23 by Russian Missiles. Thanks very much indeed for being with us.

Rishi sunak has been in the north of england, where he delivered his message to voters at a pub. It comes after the cabinet minister michael gove announced that he was joining a growing list of Conservative Mps who will be standing down at the election. Meanwhile, the Labour Leader sir keir starmer has been out meeting voters in the west midlands, where he told voters that stabilising the economy would be a number one priority. The Liberal Democrats leader sir ed davey has been campaigning in winchester and chichester highlighting the partys plans for a crackdown on the dumping of sewage into waterways.

He told us something that with labour policies in both 2015 and 2017 will be Labour Policy again. That is to lower the voting age to the age of 16. Its something thats been talked about for a while in labour circles, so its not a huge surprise. Nevertheless, interesting. Here are some of the reasoning behind this, because you canjoin the army reasoning behind this, because you can join the army at 16. He says if youre serving your country and the armed forces, you should be able to vote. Thats been welcomed by ed davey from the Liberal Democrats. Another policy story thats been around is a bit of a row about the work as right policy workers rights. Ifirst heard in a labour plan for something called the new deal for plan for something called the new dealfor working people. That was three years ago now. But theres been an updated version of that policy which is been talked about and negotiated with trade unions were quite a long time. In that policy, they say they are going to end fire and rehire, the controversial practice where anthonys dismissed workers and get them back very quickly on were steel. Were companies. That plan says businesses can restructure to remain viable when theres genuinely no alternative. It unites the union, thinks that leaves the door slightly open. She said that plan had more holes than swiss trees. Thats a row that may go on for a little while swiss cheese. That may go on for a little while swiss cheese. Swiss cheese.

For The S And Swinney has been campaigning on what they call it a day of action. 0ne swinney has been campaigning on what they call it a day of action. One of his main messages was against austerity. Liberal democrat leader ed davey also talked about the Economic Situation and talked about the conservatives having given up in his words. What he was talking about there was an answer to a question around the senior conservative michael gove stepping down that you mentioned earlier. Michael gove is this titanic figure of conservative politics over the last ten years. He not only had a reputation for being quite canny and getting policies through like free schools, but he also knew how to turn on the political theatrics. People might remember there was a moment where he supported brexit, where he said he didnt think borisjohnson was fit to be Prime Minister after the eu referendum. Weve been hearing for quite a lot of tories were standing down at election. No doubt that will be waiting on the mind of the Prime Minister. ,. ~ be waiting on the mind of the Prime Minister. ,. ,. ~. , ~ ,. , be waiting on the mind of the Prime Minister. ,. ~. ~ ,. , be waiting on the mind of the Prime Minister. ,. ,. ~. , ~ i. ,.

They havejust of the public finances we have at the moment. They have Just Announced two really big cuts which have been very helpful to people on average earnings. But were now in a position where given Thejeremy Hunt and Rachel Reeves said they want to get it down, there really isnt space for more tax cuts. Unless theyre going to spell out exactly what Spending Cuts are going to come alongside those not least because pencil into the governments figures already are some pretty harsh Spending Cuts across ranges of public services.

Im simply taking them at their word, im not saying thatis them at their word, im not saying that is a necessary thing to do. But both the chancellor and the Shadow Chancellor made absolutely Crystal Clear that they are absolutely committed to getting debt down. That will require either some Spending Cuts or some taxing increases or some combination of the two. What concerns me is that neither of them are making that in the least bit clear. Youve already heard jeremy hunt saying he wants to reduce taxes. We all want to reduce taxes, but you cant reduce taxes and keep spending at its current level and meet your target to get that down. Those things are simply not compatible. Those things are simply not comatible. ~. ,. , compatible. What about Rachel Reeves sa in the compatible.

So, as i said, the current figures in imply some cuts. Labour have not said explicitly that they accept that because that accepts cuts or, no they dont, because that involves tax rises.
