Russia bars entry to 32 New Zealanders in sanctions response


Russia's foreign ministry has slapped New Zealand journalists and officials with sanctions for supporting what it called the country's "Russophobic agenda."

The political move was announced Saturday.

The list includes New Zealand's Military Secretary to the Minister of Defence Shane Arndell and the mayors of Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch, among other officials.

Journalists named include Whena Owen, Matthew Hooton and James Hollings.

The sanctions bar the targeted individuals from entering Russia indefinitely, the Russian ministry said.

"Taking into account that Wellington does not intend to abandon its anti-Russian course and continues to produce new restrictions (against Moscow), work on updating the 'black list' will continue," the ministry added.

In April, Russia announced an earlier blacklist of politicians from New Zealand, including Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern.

For Black CEOs in Silicon Valley, humiliation is a part of doing business

For Black CEOs in Silicon Valley, humiliation is a part of doing business The Mercury News  /  by Bloomberg News  /  9h By Priya Anand and Sarah McBride | Bloomberg Will Hayes has grown accustomed to an awkward start to business meetings. On numerous occasions, venture capitalists would confuse Hayes, the head of software company Lucidworks Inc., with another man on his executive team. The investor would introduce himself, extend a handshake to the other guy and say, “Good to meet you, Will.” It’s strange because they don’t look alike. Also, Hayes is Black, and his deputy is White. This happened so many times, in dozens of meetings over many years, that Hayes and his longtime colleague, Keith Messick, say it’s no coincidence. Such unintentional instances of racism, they say, have become a routine—and insidious—part of doing business at a Black-led company in Silicon Valley. Protests over the death of George Floyd at the knee of a White police officer in Minneapolis

Fact Check: Trump lied 46 times at recent rallies Forty-six false and misleading claims the president has made at recent rallies. We reviewed all of President Donald Trump’s speeches at campaign rallies over five days, from Oct. 12 to Oct. 16. There were six speeches and combined, Trump spoke for more than eight hours, averaging about one hour and 20 minutes per speech. Below is a compilation of 46 of the false and misleading claims he made; Trump often repeated those claims at multiple rallies. We have organized them by subject matter. Trump spoke in  Sanford, Florida , on Oct. 12, his first rally since recovering from COVID-19. It was the shortest of the five speeches, at just over an hour. The following night, the Republican nominee spoke in  Johnstown, Pennsylvania,  followed by an Oct. 14 rally in  Des Moines, Iowa , then  Greenville, North Carolina,  on Oct. 15. He finished up the week with two rallies: one in  Ocala, Florida , and another in  Macon, Georgia , on Oct. 16. (We
