## Resource

A second release of files relating to the appointment of Lord Mandelson as US ambassador has resulted in further embarrassment for the Prime Minister. But has government transparency gone too far this time? Russia's carried out major attacks across cities in Ukraine. US President Donald Trump has reportedly had a fiery phone call with Israeli Prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu. A statement will be made in Parliament about the murder of Southampton student Henry Nowak which has ignited a row about policing. His attacker, who has been jailed for 21 years, claimed racial assault. And Serena Williams has excited tennis fans with some huge news. Sophy and Wilf have all the day's news.
