Analysis - A geopolitical earthquake could begin within weeks. As a string of bilateral crisis talks predictably falter, further military aggression by Russia against Ukraine seems all too probable.

The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) has upheld a complaint that a Facebook ad for a Hamilton car dealership was "misleading", as it included a poster that looked very similar to the Government's Unite Against COVID-19 branding.

A sponsored post for Hamilton Electric Vehicles popped up in the complainant's news feed and the ad included a photo of the dealership's entrance, which displayed three COVID-related posters. At the top was a Freedom and Rights Coalition poster that had diagonal yellow and white stripes similar to the Government's Unite Against COVID-19 signs.
