No doubt Labour/Greens want to do this in NZ too…

Two foreign flagged vessels heading to Russian ports were attacked in the Sea of Azov, Moscow has said.

Five Azerbaijani nationals have been killed and three injured in drone strikes on grain vessels in the Sea of Azov, Azerbaijan’s Foreign Ministry has said. The attacks were later confirmed to have been carried out by Ukrainian forces.

The Beliz-flagged Natra and Palau-flagged Zirkon were sailing from Türkiye to the Russian port of Rostov-on-Don when they were attacked by Ukrainian drones early Friday, the Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement. Attacks on the vessels resulted in “deaths and injuries,” including among Azerbaijani nationals, according to the ministry.

Sailors aboard the ships were aided by a Russian vessel sailing nearby and a Russian FSB border guard patrol, the statement said. The incident “once again proves the terrorist nature of the Kiev regime that increasingly targets civilians and civilian infrastructure” in its attacks, the ministry stated.

A video shared on social media purports to show the aftermath of the attack on one of the vessels. It shows the deck covered in debris and the command bridge virtually destroyed in the strike.

Top Ukrainian drone commander Robert Brovdi later confirmed the attacks, claiming on Telegram that unmanned aerial vehicles targeted five vessels in the Sea of Azov overnight Thursday into Friday. He accused the ships of transporting military cargo and fuel and of preparing to “steal” Ukrainian grain.

Ukrainian forces previously targeted vessels carrying Russian grain. In April, a cargo ship sank in the Sea of Azov after a drone strike that killed one crew member.

Kiev has intensified its long-range attacks on Russia since mid-March, launching hundreds of drones on an almost daily basis. Moscow has condemned the strikes, calling them terrorist attacks and accusing Ukraine of indiscriminately targeting civilian infrastructure and populated areas.

Ukrainian raids have caused significant civilian casualties. In a recent incident, 21 people, most of them teenage girls, were killed and dozens more injured when a college dormitory in Starobelsk, Russia was attacked in a multi-wave Ukrainian drone attack on May 22.

And there’s been another Nato ‘own goal’ with an explosion in a Romanian port—

A Ukrainian maritime drone exploded in the Romanian port of Constanta on Friday morning, and three more detonated offshore, prompting a major emergency response and an evacuation of the area.

The unmanned boat, filled with explosives, was discovered stuck in an anti-pollution barrier several hundred meters from the oil terminal area, close to the headquarters of the Romanian Agency for Saving Human Life at Sea.

The first vessel resembled a Ukrainian MAGURA V5 maritime drone used by Kiev’s military intelligence, which can carry hundreds of kilograms of explosives, travel long distances, and often operate in swarms, Commander Sandu Mateiu told local news outlet Digi24.

Maree Buscke speaks with Stephen Pattinson, a New Zealand architect and Pinehaven resident who has spent over a decade challenging flood maps he believes are seriously flawed. Stephen says the baseline model treats forested hills as if they were already developed, massively overstating flood risk — yet real flood events consistently fail to match predictions.

Reader Izzy says: Very relevant, and it got my blood pressure going once again with the mention of Jacobs and Councils reliance on these extreme modelling scenarios, let alone all the bureaucratic whitewashing that goes on — so many similarities to our issues here on the coast and all around the country.

A new analysis by an interdisciplinary team of researchers in the United States has reignited global debate over the covid-19 ‘vaccination’ campaign, claiming it was not a public-health measure but a “targeted and internationally coordinated genetic engineering mass experiment” conducted with military assistance.

The team’s findings, which have been mapped across 12,000 batch numbers and stored on the blockchain, assert that the Covid jab lots were deliberately formulated in three distinct tiers with dramatically different effects.

The data, they say, shows a clear, non-random pattern of distribution designed to avoid triggering obvious statistical alarms while inflicting harm on specific populations.

According to the analysis:

• Batch numbers ending in 20A to 20F contained nearly zero side effects and are described as saline placebos — essentially “water with a label.”
• Batch numbers ending in 21K to 21X produced moderate side effects, including fatigue, myocarditis, and blood clots, with hospitalization rates reportedly 300% above baseline.
• Batch numbers ending in 22R to 22Z are labeled catastrophic, linked to strokes, cardiac arrest, neurological damage, and death rates 8,100% above the historical norm for any pharmaceutical product.

The researchers insist there was “no random variation” and “no manufacturing inconsistency.” Instead, they describe an intentional, systematic pattern in which the most dangerous batches were disproportionately shipped to specific zip codes — areas with high concentrations of military veterans, first responders, independent contractors, and communities known for historically low compliance with federal mandates.

Moderate batches were routed to urban centres with high media consumption, while placebo batches allegedly went to politicians, media figures, and pharmaceutical executives — the very people who publicly promoted the shots as “safe and effective.”

The former FDA regulator who worked on the team reportedly submitted the full dataset to a military tribunal with the statement: “This was not negligence. This was a weapons deployment protocol, disguised as public health.”

The claims have drawn fresh attention to stark differences in excess mortality between European nations.

Eurostat data analysed by German researcher Tom Lausen reportedly shows persistently high excess mortality in Germany despite vaccination rates comparable to those in other countries.

In contrast, Sweden — which joined NATO in 2024 — recorded exactly zero excess mortality over the same period.The team’s source material was first highlighted in a widely circulated post on X by user @paulgoldeagle, which detailed the batch-number mapping and its implications.

Critics have yet to respond publicly to the latest dataset, but the researchers maintain that the evidence is now irrefutable and permanently recorded.

The full report and blockchain-stored batch data are expected to fuel ongoing scrutiny of the largest medical intervention in history.

This should be of interest to Gywnn Compton who wants high rise apartments in Waikanae and the rest of Kapiti.

In the old days, communist countries gave you plattenbau buildings, which were drab, dull and depressing — here is an example in Halle Neustadt with a picture of East German Communist Boss Erich Honecker. The picture of him was probably a colour one, but the buildings were communist grey.

At least these ones gave you a balcony, often you didn’t even get that.

But freed from communist shackles, this is creativity in Moscow now:

For those who don’t understand or remember the image above, it is seared into my memory because Robert and I lived near Charlottesville when the far-right protests there occurred in 2017. And yes, there were some pretty nasty neo-Nazis; truly white supremacist, KKK members at those rallies. Then, near the end of that tension-filled weekend, where the police were told to stand down and not arrest anyone, some far-right psychopath took his car and rammed it into a crowd of counter-protestors, killing a woman. It was horrific. Then we learn from the DoJ, almost a decade later, that the Southern Poverty Law Center was PAYING those KKK and neo-Nazi types a monthly stipend to recruit new members. People who were probably at that Charlottesville protest/riot — to be there, to rile up hate and act out — to the point where an innocent young woman’s life was cut short — murdered. The SPLC paid over four million dollars to people to join the KKK, in hopes of stirring enough hate to get liberals to donate to their cause. The idea that a non-profit, non-governmental agency was hiring people to do this is abhorrent. They have no legal authority to hire people to recruit others to do illegal acts, so that the SPLC can report on it. Just think about it. If I went out and paid someone who was a drug dealer to buy drugs so I could track and record for the media, would that be legal? Of course not. Yet that is the argument the liberal news is making. That the SPLC’s behavior was justified because they were tracking racists, paying informants. Sorry, but that interpretation is just wrong. Paying people to be involved in illegal activities is illegal — that is called being an accessory to a crime.

SPLC = Southern Poverty Law Center. Paying people to riot is what billionaire George Soros is infamous for, but there must be others besides him. Was Soros involved with Antifa’s ‘false flag’ actions outside NZ’s Parliament on 2 March 2022? We actually got tipped off about it about by a reader in America the night before which indicates that. —Eds

Maja Chwalinska entered Roland Garros this year simply hoping to play her way out of qualifying. Instead, she made history — and she’s not done yet. WTA Tennis

Surprises and Certainties

The French grand slam always has plenty of surprises but coming up there are two certainties – in 2026 there will be two new singles champions. As usual there has been a raft of former winners eliminated and there is the prospect that a qualifier will become only the second person in history to achieve the amazing feat of playing extra matches to get into the draw and then go on to lift the trophy. Can Maja Chwalinska emulate the amazing winner of the 2021 Us Open?

Britain’s Emma Raducanu, was the first qualifier ever to win a grand slam. The odds on this ever being repeated are incredibly unlikely.

Raducanu had to play and win three preliminary matches to even get into the first round. So in going on to ultimately win the final she played an extraordinary 10 matches! Even more amazingly, she won all ten without losing a set. Can a Pole in Paris also do the seemingly impossible?

The Men’s final

With the top two ranked players in the world missing – Carlos Alcaraz injured and a sick Jannik Sinner eliminated in the third round – this should be Zverev’s year. The German has never won a grand slam in thirteen years as a professional but has been the beaten finalist in New York and Melbourne. The 29 year old German is currently ranked third in the world.

His opponent will be the 24 year old Italian Flavio Cobolli whose best performance in a grand slam was as a quarter-finalist at Wimbledon last year. Cobolli was due to play his friend and countryman Matteo Arnauldi in the semi-finals, but the later was forced to withdraw because of a virus.

Zverev should be a comfortable winner, but nothing is certain.

The Women’s final

Qualifier Maja Chwalinska will meet 19 year old Russian 8^th seed Mirra Andreeva. The latter was a convincing two set winner in her semi-final and, like Cobolli, was a quarter-finalist at Wimbledon in 2025. The Pole had a tougher semi but did win convincingly in two sets. 

The Russian is a stronger player with a reliable serve and strong ground strokes, and should prevail. Nevertheless Chwalinska will been very keen to repeat Raducanu extraordinary feat.

Plenty to play for

There will definitely be two new grand slam champions on Monday and I would expect Andreeva and Zverev to come away with the silverware. Hopefully the passionate Roland Garros crowds will witness two quality matches.

(ANP) – The US State Department has expressed similar criticism to that of nationalist politician Nigel Farage, who claimed that anti-racism guidelines have led to the police not treating all ethnic groups equally. It stated that the case shows that not all groups are treated equally by the British police.

The British government says it does not recognize itself in the American criticism following the death of student Henry Nowak. British Justice Minister David Lammy told Sky News that he does not recognize himself in “this caricature of Great Britain with a criminal justice system with double standards.”

The death of the white Nowak has led to widespread outrage in the United Kingdom. Footage shows the stabbed and dying teenager being handcuffed by the police after his attacker had accused him of racism. Officers ignore his pleas. His murderer, Vickrum Digwa, was later sentenced to life imprisonment.
