Russian aircraft makers say they will present a prospective new fighter jet at a Moscow air show.

The new warplane hidden under tarpaulin was photographed being towed to a parking spot across an airfield in Zhukovsky, outside Moscow, where the MAKS-2021 International Aviation and Space Salon opens Tuesday. Russian President Vladimir Putin is set to visit the show's opening.

The Asia-Pacific trade group APEC met overnight yesterday, an extraordinary two-hour summit of world leaders chaired by Jacinda Ardern and attended by 21 heads of state.

But after China confirmed on Thursday he would be there, President Xi Jinping actually beamed in with pre-recorded remarks. This is in contrast to US President Joe Biden and Russian President Vladimir Putin, who stayed on for the entire two-and-a-half-hour call.

An Auckland man who was employed by an aquatic pet store for six years was dismissed with a two-sentence email and left his position with 41 days of unused annual leave - which he was not compensated for upon his redundancy. 

The man, Mr Foster, was employed by Aquaworld Ltd - an aquarium shop on Auckland's North Shore - from March 12, 2014 to August 10, 2020. He began working as a junior aquarist on a casual basis before taking on a full-time role, which was eventually terminated for redundancy in July 2020.

When Ollie Neas goes grocery shopping these days he doesn't just see the price - he sees the power imbalance and a complex web of relationships.

"I'm looking at how much is the supplier actually getting here, how much is the supermarket getting, and you realise that often the suppliers in New Zealand are getting squeezed," he says.
