The White Ferns captain spun her way to a record haul of seven for 34 in the second one-day international against Zimbabwe in Dunedin today. The 25-year-old became the first New Zealand woman to take seven wickets in an ODI international. The White Ferns did not waste time hunting down the target.

The feat was achieved on the second morning of a Plunket Shield game against Northern Districts in Napier on Sunday. Five wickets in five balls had only been taken in domestic T20 games – once at the senior and once in the U19 level – before. Northern Districts had gone from 4 for no loss to 9 for five. During his spell, Randell also became the first bowler to take six wickets in eight balls in first-class cricket. He finished with figures of 7/25 in 11 overs as Northern Districts were bowled out for 82.

A digital registry of firearms was built on budget in 2023 and this was being expanded.

They “create a mood, create a palette, create a feeling for characters, the places they inhabit”. One Battle After Another ran the gamut of California locations, from north to south.

International law ought to provide us with a framework to restrain and, in some cases, end tyrannical regimes like Iran. Instead, we see international law being wheeled out in defence of tyrants. If international law truly proves unable to restrain Iranian proxy terrorism, nuclear proliferation and humanitarian abuse, then international law would have failed. Against that backdrop, we are told the decisive question is whether recent strikes were a violation of international law. International law remains one of humanity’s great co-operative achievements.

Climate Liberation Aotearoa's Jen Olsen said all the figures show electric vehicles are a better option. The government is considering scrapping the clean car standard, which limits the average carbon dioxide emissions from the tailpipes of new cars brought into the country.
