Military assets in the Pacific are increasing, ostensibly in an effort to help curb one of the region’s biggest challenges: illegal fishing. However, it’s also in part an effort to counter China’s influence in the region. National correspondent Lucy Craymer looks at what this means and New Zealand’s role in it.
A New Zealand Defence Force P-3K2 Orion took off from Nauru’s only runway this week. The crew of the plane spent the next several hours peering out of its windows at the expanse of blue ocean below, looking for fishing boats, yachts and merchant ships.

Space company Rocket Lab has announced it will launch an unmanned mission to the moon from New Zealand's Mahia Peninsula later this year.
An Electron rocket will put a NASA satellite called CAPSTONE into orbit around the Earth, before its Photon spacecraft will "separate and use its 3D-printed HyperCurie engine to provide in-space propulsion to allow CAPSTONE to break free of Earth’s gravity and set a course for the moon", Rocket Lab said on Saturday.

Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern says if Kiwis had the choice between "less friction" at the border or a lowered risk of having to go into lockdown, they'd likely opt for the latter.
Her comments come as experts say the risk posed by the Delta variant will wipe out much of the gains made by the vaccine rollout, since Kiwis aren't using the COVID Tracer app enough.

Beijing’s confrontation with Australia should have been an unequal contest. That’s not how it worked out in practice.
“Chewing gum stuck on the sole of China’s shoes.” That’s how Hu Xijin, the editor of the Chinese Communist Party–run Global Times, described Australia last year. The disparaging description is typical of the disdain that China’s diplomats and propagandists have often shown toward governments that challenge Beijing—like Australia’s.

The Taliban ambushed and killed the director of Afghanistan's government media centre today in the capital, Kabul, the latest killing of a government official just days after an assassination attempt on the country's acting defense minister.
The slaying comes amid significant Taliban advances. In a major but symbolic victory, the Taliban appeared to have taken their first provincial capital — the city of Zaranj in southern Nimroz province.
