    Ukraine appears to be keeping its grip on Kharkiv despite Russian troops storming into the city centre this morning, as troops in Kyiv continue to defy Vladimir Putin's army - despite another night of heavy shelling in the capital. Footage shared on social media Sunday morning showed Russian trucks rolling through the city - Ukraine's second largest with a population of 1.4million - which sits in Eastern Ukraine close to the border with Russia. Soldiers were also seen marching through Kharkiv on foot, with a very dramatic clip showing Russians slowly advancing along a road before running and firing their...

It is unclear how many died - but the number is likely to run into the hundreds. Their deaths were announced as officials in...

    With his mohawk, ratty fatigues, assorted chains and his menagerie of tattoos — swallows on each shoulder, a nautical star on his back and the logo of the Bouncing Souls, a New York City punk band, on his right leg — 22-year-old Nick Rizzuto is the very picture of counterculture alienation. But it's when he talks politics that Mr. Rizzuto sounds like a real radical, for a punk anyway. Mr. Rizzuto is adamantly in favor of lowering taxes and for school vouchers, and against campaign finance laws; his favorite Supreme Court justice is Clarence Thomas; he plans to vote for...
