Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov announced sanctions for President Joe Biden, Secretary of State Antony Blinken, and a string of senior U.S. officials as President Vladimir Putin hit back in revenge for harsh sanctions.

 

The announcement came as Washington was unveiling fresh sanctions on President Alexander Lukashenko, Moscow's ally in Belarus, and 11 key Russian defense officials.

 

The Russian move effectively bars Biden and 12 other U.S. figures - including Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, C.I.A. director Bill Burns - from entering Russia.

 

Daleep Singh, an economist on the National Security Council who is seen as the architect of sanctions on Russia, also makes the list.

 

The list also includes high-profile figures such as White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki as well as the president's troubled son Hunter.

 

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who was also named on the list saw the funny side.

 

'I want to thank the Russian Academy for this Lifetime Achievement Award,' she said in a tweet.

 

In a statement, the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs said it was acting 'in response to a series of unprecedented sanctions' and was imposing its own measures 'on the basis of reciprocity.'  

 

The sanctions come after weeks of increasing pressure on Moscow, as the U.S. and allies try to isolate Russia and Putin's cronies. 

 

Russian forces have apparently stalled in Ukraine, and have made little progress in takin the capital Kyiv. 

 

Instead they have kept up a bombardment of Ukrainian cities and used long-range missile to attack targets in the west of the country. 

 

The State Department added to its list of sanctions on Tuesday, barring Lukashenko and his family from entering the U.S. or doing business with Americans.

 

'Today's designations demonstrate the United States will continue to impose concrete and significant consequences for those who engage in corruption or are connected to gross violations of human rights,' said Office of Foreign Assets Control Director Andrea Gacki. 

 

'We condemn Russia's attacks on humanitarian corridors in Ukraine and call on Russia to cease its unprovoked and brutal war against Ukraine.'

 

The US has previously hit Belarus with sanctions because of its backing for the Russian invasion, extending export control policies to the country. 

 

The 13 Americans sanctioned by Moscow;

Joe Biden - president

Antony Blinken - secretary of state

Lloyd Austin - secretary of defense

Mark Milley - chairman of the joint chiefs of staff

Jake Sullivan - national security adviser

Bill Burns - CIA director

Jen Psaki - White House press secretary

Daleep Singh - deputy national security advisor for international economics

Samantha Power - USAID administrator

Hunter Biden - President Biden's son

Hillary Clinton - former secretary of state

Wally Adeyemo -deputy secretary of the Treasury

Reta Jo Lewis - president of the Export-Import Bank of the US

  The Synagogue Church of all Nations (SCOAN) has countered the BBC documentary on the late Temitope Babatunde Joshua, known as TB Joshua, founder of SCOAN. SCOAN described the documentary against TB Joshua as unfounded, and that the characters interviewed in the report were unknown to the church. The church, in a statement signed by its Public Affairs Director, Mr Dare Adejumo, said the statement was aimed at disabusing public minds from the report. The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls that the BBC released a highly controversial and damning documentary on the late TB Joshua on Monday, accusing him of various crimes, including rape, against some members. SCOAN said, “BBC World Services investigative unit, code-named Africa Eye, came out this week with weird and strange episodes of atrocities against the late founder of SCOAN.” It said that to investigate and publish or broadcast reports was a central kernel of journalism, but to do so outside the ethics and fundamental principles

  The NBA has suspended former San Antonio Spurs guard  Joshua Primo   for four games   ... after it says it found he exposed his private parts to multiple women. The league announced the ban on Friday morning ... saying an investigation into the free agent revealed he had "engaged in inappropriate and offensive behavior." NBA officials called his actions "conduct detrimental to the league." They did, however, note that they "did not find evidence that he engaged in any sexual or other misconduct apart from these brief exposures." "Primo maintains that his conduct was not intentional," the league said. Dr. Hillary Cauthen , Primo's former therapist, was the first to  bring the allegations  against Primo to light after she claimed last fall that he exposed himself to her on nine separate occasions. Dr. Cauthen's attorney,  Tony Buzbee , alleged the Spurs were aware of Primo's actions, but didn't take action. Cauthen went on to file

 Sky Sports were left red-faced after an on-screen graphic mistakenly introduced Chelsea defender Axel Disasi as Noni Madueke on Tuesday night. The pair were both the scoresheet as the Blues thrashed Middlesbrough 6-1 at Stamford Bridge in the second leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final to boo their place at Wembley. But when Disasi spoke to Sky Sports after the game, an on-screen graphic introduced him as Madueke instead. Madueke is four years younger than his Chelsea teammate, plays in a different role and is English, while Disasi is French. Viewers immediately spotted the mistake and took to social media to flag up the glaring error.  Sky Sports with a huge mistake as that is Axel Disasi, not Noni Madueke,' another added, while a third described the gaffe as a 'howler'. A fourth commented: 'Sky sports calling Disasi Madueke. They’ve done it again.' Disasi scored Chelsea's third goal in the 6-1 rout, converting Raheem Sterling's cross at the far post after th
