The United States on Thursday imposed a broad array of sanctions on Russia, including curbs to its sovereign debt market, to punish it for interfering in last year's US election, cyber-hacking, bullying Ukraine and other alleged "malign" actions.

The US government blacklisted Russian companies, expelled Russian diplomats and barred US banks from buying sovereign bonds from Russia's central bank, national wealth fund and finance ministry. Washington also warned the Kremlin that more penalties were possible though the United States said it did not want to escalate.

The testing of border workers has once again come under fire after revelations Case B, a security guard at Auckland's Grand Millennium managed isolation facility, went almost five months without a COVID-19 test.

Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern is blaming the security guard for lying - despite an investigation still being underway. And the Government has no idea how big the problem could be.

US federal health agencies on Tuesday recommended pausing the use of Johnson & Johnson's COVID-19 vaccine for at least a few days after six women under 50 given the shot developed rare blood clots, dealing a fresh setback to efforts to tackle the pandemic.

Following the news, Johnson & Johnson (J&J) said it was delaying the rollout of the vaccine to Europe, a week after regulators there said they were reviewing rare blood clots in four recipients of the shot in the United States.

There are fears China and Russia could coordinate respective invasions of Taiwan and Ukraine, stretching the military resources of the United States and testing new President Joe Biden.

It comes as tensions mount in Crimea and Ukraine's eastern Donbas region - where Russia keeps deploying more troops - and around Taiwan in the South China Sea, where the US is already responding to an increased Chinese military presence.
