Putin critic Alexei Navalny's return to Russia described as 'incredible bravery' | 7.30
Alexei Navalny rose to international attention by campaigning against corruption in Russia and against Vladimir Putin's government.
His attempt to contest the 2018 presidential election was blocked over a previous conviction on embezzlement charges he has consistently denied.
In August last year, Navalny became violently ill during a domestic flight to Moscow. He was evacuated to Germany for treatment where authorities determined he had been poisoned with the nerve agent, Novichok. He was released from hospital a month later.
Investigative journalists have unearthed evidence linking Russian intelligence operatives with the poisoning, as well as suggesting they may have been shadowing Navalny for years.
Putin himself denied any involvement in the poisoning at a press conference in December, but as usual did not say Navalny's name, instead calling him "the German patient".
Yesterday Navalny flew home to Moscow for the first time since the poisoning and was immediately taken into custody.

NSW aims to ease restrictions next week if COVID numbers are low | ABC News
The NSW Government's 'crisis Cabinet' is today expected to discuss limits on home visits, with only five people currently allowed to visit a residence in the Greater Sydney region.
Premier Gladys Berejiklian has suggested there is an appetite to relax some COVID-19 restrictions but testing numbers will need to rise before that can happen.
The state recorded zero locally acquired cases for the second consecutive day yesterday but NSW Health said low daily testing numbers remained a concern.

TikTok's sea shanties are a coronavirus salve | ABC News
In the final days of 2020, Scottish singer Nathan Evans posted a TikTok of himself singing the sea shanty Wellerman.
Subscribe: http://ab.co/1svxLVE Read more here: https://ab.co/3nYz0Qx
It's a New Zealand folksong from the mid-19th century, about a Sydney whaling company called The Weller Bros, whose employees and ships were called 'Wellermen'.
The song features a supply ship bringing "sugar and tea and rum" to a whaling crew off the shore of New Zealand. Immediately after Nathan posted his Wellerman video, TikTok user Luke Taylor created a duet, posting it with the caption "I know no-one cares but I love this song way too much to not add a bassline".

So what about other workplaces? We've taken a look and many will encourage rather than compel their staff to get it. Lori Youmshajekian reports.
