HI, EVERYBODY. WHAT A DIFFERENCE A DAY MAKES. YES, THE HIGH'S IN THE SKY AND REFUSES TO DIE, BUT OUR SOUTHERN REGIONS NOW HAVE A HEAVY RAIN WARNING IN PLACE, SO LOOK OUT FOR RISING RIVERS, SURFACE FLOODING AND REPLETE RIVERS OVER THE NEXT TWO DAYS. A BIG FORECAST COMING UP. RIGHT NOW, IT'S 6 O'CLOCK. DUE TO THE LIVE NATURE OF ONE NEWS WE APOLOGISE FOR THE LACK OF CAPTIONS FOR SOME ITEMS. TAKING ON POLICE ` HUNDREDS OF ANGRY BOY RACERS PROTEST IN CENTRAL CHRISTCHURCH. A COMPANY LINKED TO ZESPRI IS FINED HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN CHINA. HAS IT DAMAGED THE KIWIFRUIT BRAND IN A LUCRATIVE MARKET? SHE'S AN INCREDIBLE 110 YEARS OLD. MAUDIE WILSON TELLS US HER SECRET TO A LONG LIFE. IT WAS A BLOODY BATTLE, BUT THE ALL WHITES MANAGE TO SNATCH A DRAMATIC INJURY-TIME WIN. STILL THERE FOR NZ. SMITH. SMITH PUT IT THROUGH! TOMMY SMITH! TOMMY SMITH FOR THE ALL WHITES! IT WAS MEANT TO BE A PEACEFUL PROTEST, BUT AN ANGRY DEMO BY BOY RACERS IN CHRISTCHURCH ENDED WITH THE ARRESTS OF SIX YOUNG PEOPLE. HUNDREDS DESCENDED ON THE CITY'S CENTRAL POLICE STATION LAST NIGHT TO PROTEST AGAINST A CRACKDOWN ON BOY RACERS. ALI PUGH HAS THE STORY. YELLING UNDER ARREST AND OUT OF CONTROL. THIS BOY RACER RALLY AT THE CHRISTCHURCH CENTRAL POLICE STATION OVERNIGHT WAS BILLED AS A PEACEFUL PROTEST. BUT IT QUICKLY ESCALATED. IT'S NOT VERY PEACEFUL ANYMORE. YEAH. JUST TO TRY TO GET EVERYONE OUT OF HERE. YOU KNOW, IT HAS NOT ENDED HOW WE WANTED IT TO END. IT ENDED IN MULTIPLE ARRESTS ` ONE PROTESTER ATTEMPTING TO RESIST OFFICERS. SOME EVEN TRIED TO BLOCK OUR CAMERAS FROM FILMING THIS INCIDENT. GET THE <BLEEP> OUT OF IT, MATE. BACKUP SUPPORT WAS QUICKLY CALLED IN. MOVE AWAY FROM THE FRONT DOORS, PLEASE. THE STATION IS ACTUALLY CLOSED. GO <BLEEP> YOURSELVES. <BLEEP> YOU. ORGANISERS SAY THEY ARRANGED THE PROTEST, AS THEY CLAIM THEY'RE BEING UNFAIRLY TARGETED BY AUTHORITIES. WE ARE ACTUALLY STANDING UP FOR ONCE AGAINST THEIR STUPID LITTLE LAWS AND HOW THEY THINK THEY CAN TREAT US. FOR SEVERAL WEEKS NOW, POLICE HAVE BEEN CRACKING DOWN ON BOY RACER ACTIVITY ON CHRISTCHURCH STREETS IN AN INITIATIVE CALLED OPERATION HAMMER. THEY'VE ASSIGNED EXTRA OFFICERS ON FRIDAY AND SATURDAY NIGHTS TO CURB WHAT THEY SAY IS BECOMING A 'PACK MENTALITY' AMONGST THE CITY'S RACERS. THIS YEAR THEY SEEM TO BE A LITTLE MORE ORGANISED. THERE SEEMS TO BE A LITTLE MORE OF THEM, AND THEY'RE CERTAINLY MORE AGGRESSIVE AND THREATENING. A NEW GROUP, THE CHRISTCHURCH ANTI-POLICE RIOT SQUAD, HAS ALSO GAINED POPULARITY IN RECENT MONTHS. ITS FACEBOOK PAGE HAS MORE THAN 100 MEMBERS, AND IT HELPED TO PROMOTE LAST NIGHT'S RALLY. BUT TODAY THEY SAY THEY DIDN'T START THE COMMOTION. IT DIDN'T GO THE WAY WE'D HOPED, COS, UM, THERE WERE IDIOTS HERE, WHICH WE COULDN'T STOP. I MEAN, IT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN EITHER WAY. MARIE NICASI WORKS ON THE OUTSKIRTS OF THE CITY WHERE BOY RACERS OFTEN CONGREGATE. THIS SIGN HERE ` THIS HAS HAD` MANY OF THESE HAVE BEEN RIPPED DOWN. EVERY SINGLE WEEKEND, SHE DEALS WITH THEIR AFTERMATH. TYPICALLY HERE WE WOULD FIND TAMPONS, FAECES, TOILET PAPER. THEY DO WHEELIES, AND ALL THE GROUNDS ARE CHURNED UP. IT'S A TERRIBLE MESS. THEY'RE NOW BUILDING A FENCE TO PROTECT THE BUSINESS. WHOOPING BUT DESPITE LAST NIGHT'S CHAOS, POLICE SAY OPERATION HAMMER IS WORKING, WITH A 70% REDUCTION IN COMPLAINTS ABOUT ACTIVITY SINCE IT BEGAN. THEY NOW HOPE THOSE HERE HAVE FINALLY GOT THE MESSAGE. ALI PUGH, ONE NEWS. ZESPRI IS REVIEWING ITS ARRANGEMENTS IN CHINA AFTER ONE OF ITS SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES WAS HEAVILY FINED AND ONE MEN JAILED FOR EVADING CUSTOMS DUTIES. THE CONVICTION'S PROMPTED CONCERN AMONG NZ'S KIWIFRUIT GROWERS ABOUT DAMAGE TO THE ZESPRI BRAND. NICOLE BREMNER REPORTS. CHINA BECAME A RED TAPE HEADACHE FOR ZESPRI WHEN ONE OF ITS INDEPENDENT IMPORTERS WAS ACCUSED OF UNDER-DECLARING CUSTOM DUTIES ON FRUIT HE'D BEEN PAID TO LAND IN THE LUCRATIVE ASIAN MARKET. IN MAY LAST YEAR, HE WAS JAILED FOR 13 YEARS AND REPAID AN ESTIMATED $7M IN UNDECLARED TAX. A ZESPRI SUBSIDIARY COMPANY EMPLOYEE WAS ALSO PUNISHED AND JAILED YESTERDAY FOR FIVE YEARS AS AN ACCESSORY; THE COMPANY FINED NEARLY $1M. ZESPRI IS NOW CONSIDERING AN APPEAL, WHILE THE LOCAL GROWERS ASSOCIATION WILL HOLD AN INQUIRY TO GAUGE EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED AND WHETHER ZESPRI'S BRAND HAS BEEN DAMAGED IN ITS THIRD LARGEST WORLD MARKET. REPORTER: IT'S A PRODUCT THIS VENDOR DOESN'T WANT US TO RECORD. IT'S NOT THE FIRST TIME NZ BRANDS HAVE BEEN UNDER THREAT IN CHINA. ZESPRI AND ENZA HAVE BOTH HAD THEIR BRANDS EXPLOITED BY COPY LABELS BEING USED ON CHINESE GROWN FRUIT. BUT IT SAYS ON HERE, 'NZ ZESPRI'. ZESPRI'S LATEST SETBACK COMES AS A NZ TRADE DELEGATION LED BY THE PRIME MINISTER PREPARES TO MARK FIVE YEARS OF FREE TRADE WITH CHINA NEXT MONTH. IN A STATEMENT, ACTING TRADE MINISTER STEVEN JOYCE SAYS IT'S UNLIKELY THE MATTER WILL BE RAISED DURING JOHN KEY'S VISIT AND SAYS THIS CASE IS AN IMPORTANT REMINDER TO COMPANIES OPERATING IN INTERNATIONAL MARKETS THAT MANAGEMENT UNDERSTAND AND COMPLY WITH ALL LOCAL LAWS OF THE COUNTRIES THEY OPERATE IN. ZESPRI SAYS A REVIEW OF PROCEDURES WILL ENSURE IT FULLY COMPLIES WITH CUSTOMS REQUIREMENTS FROM NOW ON IN A MARKET IT SAYS IS SIMPLY TOO VALUABLE TO COMPROMISE. NICOLE BREMNER, ONE NEWS. FAMILY AND FRIENDS HAVE GATHERED IN LEVIN FOR THE TANGI OF GEORGE TAIAROA, THE ROAD WORKER GUNNED DOWN SOUTH OF TOKOROA LAST WEEK. POLICE ARE STILL SEARCHING FOR THE 67-YEAR-OLD'S KILLER. THIS AFTERNOON POLICE DIVERS WRAPPED UP THEIR TWO DAY SEARCH AT THE WAIKATO RIVER NEAR THE MURDER SCENE. POLICE RECEIVED MORE THAN 20 CALLS FROM THE PUBLIC OVERNIGHT, BUT SAY THEY STILL NEED MORE SIGHTINGS OF THE BLUE FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE THEY BELIEVE THE KILLER WAS DRIVING. ANOTHER INVESTIGATION HAS BEGUN A MONTH AFTER A WOMAN IN HER WHEELCHAIR WAS STRUCK BY A FREIGHT TRAIN ON A RAIL CROSSING IN AUCKLAND. THE NZ TRANSPORT AGENCY SAYS IT'LL NOW BE OVERSEEING KIWIRAIL'S INTERNAL REVIEW AND LOOKING INTO THE COMPANY'S SAFETY PROCEDURES AND MAINTENANCE. THE CROSSING AT MORNINGSIDE HAS BEEN UPGRADED SINCE THE ACCIDENT. THERE'S CONCERN TIME MAY BE RUNNING OUT TO REPAIR CHRISTCHURCH'S LANDMARK MEMORIAL TO THE FALLEN. WHILE THE CITY COUNCIL INSISTS IT IS COMMITTED TO REPAIRING THE BRIDGE OF REMEMBRANCE, THE LOCAL RSA WANTS IT BACK IN ACTION TO MARK AN HISTORIC CENTENARY. LORELEI MASON EXPLAINS. IT STANDS PROUD AND TALL IN THE AUTUMN SUNSHINE BUT BARRICADED FROM PUBLIC ACCESS. ITS DAMAGE AND NEGLECT SIGNIFICANT. THE NORTH END HAS SETTLED BETWEEN 20MM TO 40MM AS OPPOSED TO THE SOUTHERN END. IT IS VERY VERY SAD. BUILT IN 1924, THE BRIDGE OF REMEMBRANCE WAS BUILT TO MARK THE SACRIFICE OF THOSE WHO SERVED IN THE GREAT WAR. SINCE THEN IT'S HONOURED ALL SERVICEMEN AND WOMEN WHO'VE TAKEN PART IN OR DIED AS A RESULT OF SUBSEQUENT CONFLICT. THE CHRISTCHURCH CITY COUNCIL HAS ALWAYS BEEN AT PAINS TO INSIST THE BRIDGE OF REMEMBRANCE WILL BE FIXED. THE MAYOR ACKNOWLEDGING IT'S A SACRED SITE FOR THE CITY. BUT MORE THAN TWO YEARS ON FROM THE QUAKE, THERE'S STILL NO WORD ON WHAT IT'LL COST OR AN EXACT START DATE TO FIX IT, AND THAT'S LEAVING THE RSA NERVOUS. IT WANTS THE BRIDGE REPAIRED AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC BY NEXT AUGUST TO COMMEMORATE THE CENTENARY OF THE GREAT WAR. FOURTH OF AUGUST NEXT YEAR. EXCUSE THE EXPRESSION ` COME HELL OR HIGH WATER, DAMN THE TORPEDOES ` THAT BRIDGE HAS GOTTA BE OPEN! THE RSA SAYS THE DATE'S ETCHED IN OUR NATION'S HISTORY. THAT IS WHEN NZERS BECAME NZERS. AND EVERY CONFLICT EVER SINCE THEN HAS WALKED ACROSS THIS BRIDGE. THE COUNCIL SAYS IT CAN DELIVER ON TIME, BUT NOT FULLY. WE'LL BE WORKING WITH THE CONTRACTORS TO SEE IF WE CAN MAKE IT AVAILABLE EVEN IN PART FOR SOME SORT OF AN EVENT TO COMMEMORATE THAT DATE. IT SAYS FULL REPAIRS WON'T BE COMPLETE UNTIL APRIL 2015. THE DESIGNERS ARE PROPOSING TO PUT STEEL REINFORCEMENT COLUMNS INSIDE THERE. ENGINEERING REPORTS AND COSTINGS ARE NOW COMPLETE. IT'S NOW UP TO CITY COUNCIL MANAGEMENT TO GREEN LIGHT THE PROJECT. IF THEY DON'T MAKE A DECISION AND START WORK WITHIN` EFFECTIVELY WITHIN A MONTH AND A HALF, THEN I DON'T BELIEVE THEY'RE GONNA MAKE THE 4TH OF AUGUST. THE COUNCIL SAYS WORK WILL BEGIN BY THE MIDDLE OF THE YEAR. LORELEI MASON, ONE NEWS. POLITICIANS IN CYPRUS HAVE VOTED TO RESTRUCTURE THE COUNTRY'S BANKS IN AN EFFORT TO PULL THE ISLAND BACK FROM THE BRINK OF FINANCIAL COLLAPSE. MPS AGREED ON SEVERAL MEASURES AIMED AT UNLOCKING A EUROZONE BAILOUT. THE BBC'S GAVIN HEWITT REPORTS FROM NICOSIA. THIS EVENING, WITH PROTESTERS ON THE STREETS, MPS BEGAN HOLDING A SERIES OF CRUCIAL VOTES G 8 ON PLANS TO RAISE FUNDS AND SO POSSIBLY PAVE THE WAY FOR AN EU BAILOUT, WHICH WOULD STAVE OFF BANKRUPTCY. FOR SOME OPPOSITION MPS, THE CHOICES WERE DIFFICULT. IN THE EVENT, MPS VOTED IN FAVOUR OF SETTING UP AN INVESTMENT FUND TO POOL STATE ASSETS. THEY ALSO AGREED TO RESTRICTIONS ON BANK TRANSACTIONS TO PREVENT A RUN ON THE BANKS. IN THE MEANTIME, WITH THE BANKS CLOSED, THIS IS A COUNTRY IN WAITING. MIDDAY. THE MAIN SHOPPING STREET IN NICOSIA IS ALMOST DESERTED. IT'S EMPTY. THIS IS MAKARIOS AVENUE, ONE OF THE BUSY HIGH STREETS. AT THE CASH MACHINES OF A TROUBLED BANK, WITHDRAWALS ARE LIMITED TO 260 EUROS. WE ARE AFRAID MAYBE NEXT WEEK THE BANKS WILL NOT OPEN. THIS IS OUR FEAR. IN THE SUPERMARKETS, THERE IS EVIDENCE OF A CASH ECONOMY EXPANDING. WE HAVE SUPPLIERS DEMANDING CASH. NOT ALL OF THEM, BUT SOME OF THEM ARE IN A PANIC SITUATION. SO EVERYONE IS WAITING TO SEE WHETHER THE GOVERNMENT CAN STRIKE A DEAL WITH THE EU BY THE DEADLINE OF MONDAY AND SAVE THE COUNTRY FROM BANKRUPTCY. THE SORT OF MONEY WE'RE TALKING ABOUT FOR CYPRUS BAILOUT IS THE SORT OF LOOSE CHANGE THAT ANGELA MERKEL HAS GOT IN THE BACK OF HER SOFA IN HER LIVING ROOM. IT'S PETTY CASH. THIS IS ALL ABOUT A POLITICAL SLAP FOR THE RUSSIANS AND ALSO A BIT OF A STRESS TEST TO SEE IF THEY COULD DO THIS IN SPAIN, PORTUGAL AND WHETHER THEY CAN GET AWAY WITH IT. THERE WILL BE MORE VOTES ON CONTENTIOUS ISSUES TOMORROW. BUT WHATEVER IS DECIDED HERE WILL STILL HAVE TO WIN THE APPROVAL OF THE EUROZONE AND THE IMF IN ORDER FOR CYPRUS TO RECEIVE A BAILOUT. EUROZONE LEADERS WILL MEET TOMORROW TO DECIDE WHETHER THE CYPRIOT GOVERNMENT HAS DONE ENOUGH TO RECEIVE BAILOUT FUNDS. A NEW ARCHBISHOP'S BEEN CHOSEN TO HEAD THE ANGLICAN CHURCH IN NZ. THE ELECTION OF PHILIP RICHARDSON COMES AT A TIME WHEN THE NUMBER OF CHURCHGOERS IS FALLING DRAMATICALLY. HE SPOKE TO MATT MCLEAN. IT WAS A SIMPLE SERVICE AND A SIMPLE DECLARATION... IS IT THE WILL OF THOSE GATHERED HERE THAT PHILIP SHOULD BE ARCHBISHOP? ALL: IT IS. ...THAT HERALDED IN A NEW ANGLICAN ARCHBISHOP. IT IS OVERWHELMING. I THINK TO HAVE THE CONFIDENCE OF YOUR PEERS, TO HAVE THE CONFIDENCE OF THE CHURCH IN THIS WAY, IS BOTH ENCOURAGING AND A LITTLE BIT DAUNTING. ORIGINALLY THE BISHOP OF TARANAKI, PHILIP RICHARDSON REPLACES ARCHBISHOP DAVID MOXON, WHO'S TAKING UP A POST IN ROME. I THINK WHEN GOD CALLS YOU, YOU'VE GOT NO OPTION BUT TO RESPOND. AND GOD CALLS THROUGH THE CHURCH. WE DIDN'T FIND OUT TODAY THAT THE NEW ARCHBISHOP HAD BEEN ELECTED THROUGH ANY PUFF OF WHITE SMOKE; IT CAME THROUGH A TEXT MESSAGE ` AN INDICATION THAT THIS IS 2013 AND TIMES ARE CHANGING, AND THE CHURCH KNOWS THAT. THEY THEMSELVES TODAY SAID THAT THESE ARE 'INTERESTING TIMES 'WHEN SO MUCH IS BEING REDEFINED AND RESHAPED'. WE CERTAINLY HAVE TO BE FRESH AND CREATIVE IN THE WAY WE ARTICULATE, BUT THE MESSAGE IS ENDURING. THE MESSAGE IS AT LEAST 2000 YEARS OLD, IF NOT OLDER. BUT THERE ARE CERTAINLY MODERN ELEMENTS TO THE ANGLICAN CHURCH HERE. ONE OF THEIR BISHOPS, FOR EXAMPLE, HAS DREADS AND GOES BAREFOOT. SO DOES THAT MEAN WE'RE GONNA SEE THE CHURCH TWEETING AND FACEBOOKING? PERHAPS. I MEAN, OUR ABILITY TO COMMUNICATE THIS MESSAGE OF PEACE AND RECONCILIATION, OF JUSTICE AND LOVE, HAS NEVER BEEN AT ONE LEVEL EASIER TO COMMUNICATE. AT THE LAST CENSUS THERE WERE CLOSE TO 555,000 REGISTERED ANGLICANS IN NZ. THAT HAD DROPPED BY 5% IN FIVE YEARS. BUT THE CONGREGATION TODAY SEEMED UNITED IN ITS FAITH IN PHILIP AS AN EFFECTIVE LEADER. PHILIP IS VERY ENTREPRENEURIAL. HE BRINGS CREATIVITY AND IMAGINATION, AND AS A COLLEAGUE, WE TRUST HIM. TRUST THAT BEGINS WHEN HE TAKES UP THE POST OFFICIALLY FOR HIS SIX-YEAR REIGN ON THE FIRST OF MAY. MATT MCLEAN, ONE NEWS. COMING UP ON ONE NEWS ` PRESIDENT OBAMA'S HISTORIC TRIP TO THE MIDDLE EAST LEAVES A LASTING MARK, BUT IT'S NOT ALL POSITIVE. BACK IN COURT ` COULD THIS BE THE FINAL CHAPTER IN THE AMANDA KNOX SAGA, OR WILL THE AMERICAN STUDENT FACE ANOTHER TRIAL? AND LEARN THE SECRET TO A LONG AND HAPPY LIFE FROM ONE OF NZ'S OLDEST RESIDENTS. PRESIDENT OBAMA'S WRAPPED UP HIS HISTORIC TOUR TO THE MIDDLE EAST WITH CROWD PLEASING SPEECHES AND PROMISES OF FINANCIAL AID. BUT WHILE HIS VISIT HELPED CEMENT TIES WITH POLITICAL ALLIES, IT ALSO LEFT PALESTINIANS ANGRY. THE ABC'S ALEX MARQUARDT REPORTS. PRESIDENT OBAMA'S LAST DAY HERE TOOK HIM TO BETHLEHEM, THE BIRTHPLACE OF JESUS ` A HIGHLIGHT OF THIS TRIP THAT HAS STRENGTHENED BONDS WITH ISRAELIS BUT FRUSTRATED PALESTINIANS. THEY VENTED THEIR ANGER WITH PROTESTS, WITH THOSE POSTERS FUELLED IN LARGE PART BY OBAMA NOT CONDEMNING ISRAEL'S SETTLEMENTS ` THE BUILDING OF HOUSES ON LAND LONG HELD BY PALESTINIANS ` FAMILIES LIKE THE GHARIBS. TODAY THEIR HOUSE IS AN ISLAND. THIS IS HOW OVER THE PAST 30 YEARS, A NEARBY ISRAELI SETTLEMENT HAS GROWN, SWALLOWING UP ALMOST HALF THEIR LAND, THE REST CUT OFF BY A SECURITY FENCE. 'IT'S LIKE WE'RE IN A PRISON,' SAYS MAHMOUD GHARIB. 'WE HAVE CAMERAS, GATES, FENCES AND WALLS.' SO WHY DO YOU STAY? (SPEAKS LOCAL LANGUAGE) 'THIS IS MY HOMELAND. THIS IS MY HOUSE,' HE SAYS. 'THE ISRAELIS ARE STEALING THE LAND DAY AND NIGHT.' REACHING PARTS OF THEIR LAND REQUIRES A SPECIAL PERMIT. THEY'RE JUST EXPLAINING THAT THIS WHOLE HILLSIDE BELOW THE SETTLEMENT IS THEIR LAND, AND IT'S FULL OF OLIVE TREES. AND IN ORDER TO GET OVER THERE TO PICK THE OLIVES, THEY NEED PERMISSION FROM THE ISRAELI MILITARY TO GET THROUGH THESE GATES AND CROSS THIS ROAD. THE ISRAELIS SEE IT DIFFERENTLY, ARGUING THAT JEWS WERE HERE ON THIS VERY LAND THOUSANDS OF YEARS AGO. DO YOU UNDERSTAND WHY THIS FAMILY IS ANGRY THAT MUCH OF THEIR LAND WAS TAKEN? NO. OR YOU DON'T SEE IT THAT WAY? NO. THE BEAUTY OF THESE LUSH, GREEN ROLLING HILLS IS OBVIOUS. BUT A SOLUTION HERE? FAR FROM IT. STILL IN THE MIDLE EAST, AND LEBANON'S BEEN PLUNGED INTO POLITICAL UNCERTAINTY AFTER ITS PRIME MINISTER ANNOUNCED THE RESIGNATION OF HIS GOVERNMENT. NAJIB MIKATI'S MOVE CAME AFTER A CABINET DISPUTE WITH SHIITE GROUP HEZBOLLAH. THE TWO PARTIES HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO AGREE ON PREPARATIONS FOR THE UPCOMING ELECTIONS AS WELL THE RE-APPOINTMENT OF A TOP SECURITY OFFICIAL. LEBANON'S POLITICAL DIVIDES HAVE BEEN FURTHER HEIGHTENED BY THE CONFLICT IN NEIGHBOURING SYRIA. G 8 TURKEY'S WELCOMED ISRAEL'S APOLO OVER THE 2010 RAID ON AN AID FLOTILLA THAT LED TO THE DEATHS OF NINE PEOPLE. THE ACTIVISTS WERE KILLED WHEN THE ISRAELI MILITARY BOARDED THE SHIP AS IT WAS TRYING TO BREACH THE BLOCKADE OF GAZA. IT'S HOPED THIS APOLOGY WILL PAVE THE WAY FOR DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS TO BE RESTORED BETWEEN THE TWO COUNTRIES. THE CASE OF AMANDA KNOX, THE AMERICAN STUDENT WHOSE MURDER CONVICTION WAS DRAMATICALLY OVERTURNED, WILL BE BACK IN COURT ON MONDAY. THE 25-YEAR-OLD SPENT FOUR YEARS IN JAIL FOR MURDERING HER BRITISH FLATMATE MEREDITH KERCHER. NOW ITALY'S HIGHEST COURT WILL DECIDE WHETHER TO BACK THE DECISION. THE ABC'S JOHN MULLER HAS THE LATEST. MY FAMILY'S THE MOST IMPORTANT THING TO ME RIGHT NOW, AND I JUST WANNA GO AND BE WITH THEM. AMANDA KNOX IS ENJOYING HER FREEDOM, BUT HER ITALIAN LEGAL DRAMA IS NOT QUITE OVER. ON MONDAY, DURING A SUPREME COURT HEARING IN ROME, THE FINAL STEP IN KNOX'S LEGAL PROCESS, SHE WILL LEARN IF ITALY'S HIGHEST COURT AGREES WITH THE DECISION TO FREE HER. THE PROSECUTION APPEALED KNOX AND SOLLECITO'S ACQUITTAL IN A 100-PAGE REPORT QUESTIONING APPARENT CONTRADICTIONS IN THE RULING. THE WORST HEARING OUTCOME FOR KNOX WOULD BE A RETRIAL AND ANOTHER AGONISING WAIT FOR IT TO ALL END. KNOX'S DEFENCE HAS APPEALED HER SLANDER CONVICTION ` A RESULT OF HER ACCUSING HER FORMER BOSS, PATRICK LOMOMBA AS HER ROOMMATE'S KILLER. IN 2009, KNOX TESTIFIED THAT SHE SUGGESTED LOMOMBA AFTER SHE WAS HIT IN THE HEAD, YELLED AT CONFUSED DURING NEARLY 50 HOURS OF INTERROGATION. WE BELIEVE WHAT AMANDA HAS TOLD US, BECAUSE SHE IS EXTREMELY HONEST. KNOX HAS ALREADY SERVED A THREE-YEAR SENTENCE FOR SLANDER DURING HER FOUR YEARS IN PRISON. IN SEATTLE, KNOX IS BACK IN CLASS AT THE UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON. SHE SPENDS FREE TIME WITH HER BOYFRIEND, JAMES TERRANO, HER THREE SISTERS, OR PLAYING THE GUITAR. KNOX DEDICATED THIS PAST YEAR TO WRITING HER UPCOMING MEMOIR, 'WAITING TO BE HEARD'. THE NIGERIAN WRITER CONSIDERED THE FOUNDING FATHER OF AFRICAN LITERATURE HAS DIED. CHINUA ACHEBE'S FIRST NOVEL, 'THINGS FALL APART', EXPLORED THE IMPACT OF COLONIALISM IN AFRICA.

LOOKING AT OUR TOP STORIES TONIGHT ` CHRISTCHURCH POLICE HAVE MADE MULTIPLE ARRESTS FOLLOWING A PROTEST BY BOY RACERS OUTSIDE THE CENTRAL POLICE STATION. THE DEMONSTRATION WAS IN RESPONSE TO A CRACKDOWN ON THE CITY'S BOY RACER PROBLEM. AN INDEPENDENT INQUIRY'S BEEN LAUNCHED INTO KIWIFRUIT COMPANY ZESPRI AFTER ONE OF ITS FORMER CHINESE SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES WAS FOUND GUILTY OF SMUGGLING. THE LOCAL GROWERS ASSOCIATION SAYS ITS CONCERNED ABOUT POSSIBLE DAMAGE TO THE ZESPRI BRAND. FROM THE MOMENT SHE ARRIVED AT NUMBER 10 DOWNING STREET, MARGARET THATCHER PROVED HERSELF A FORMIDABLE PRIME MINISTER. BUT NEWLY RELEASED PAPERS FROM THE 1980S SHOW HER IN A DIFFERENT LIGHT AS SHE DEALT WITH THE DECISION TO GO TO WAR OVER THE FALKLANDS. THIS FROM THE BBC'S BRIDGET KENDALL. AS PRIME MINISTER, SHE WAS KNOWN AS THE IRON LADY, FAMOUS FOR HER STEELY REFUSAL TO COMPROMISE. BUT THE PRIVATE MARGARET THATCHER WAS AS SUSCEPTIBLE TO ANXIETY DURING THE FALKLANDS CONFLICT AS EVERYONE ELSE. 'DEAR STEPHEN. FORGIVE ME FOR NOT...' THIS LETTER AMONG HER PERSONAL PAPERS WAS TO A CONSTITUENT AS THE CONFLICT WAS HOTTING UP IN LATE APRIL. 'THERE HAS BEEN AN ACTIVITY AND TENSENESS 'I NEVER THOUGHT TO EXPERIENCE.' WHEN THE FIGHT TO TAKE BACK THE ISLANDS BEGAN IN EARNEST, GRIM REPORTS BEGAN TO COME THROUGH OF SHIPS BEING HIT AND INEVITABLE CASUALTIES. ON ONE OCCASION, AT A CONSTITUENCY EVENT, SHE BROKE DOWN IN TEARS. IT TOOK 40 MINUTES TO PULL HERSELF TOGETHER. SHE WAS IMMENSELY UPSET. SHE WAS IN TEARS. 'I AM THE FIRST BRITISH PRIME MINISTER IN SO MANY YEARS 'TO HAVE TO SEND BRITISH PEOPLE TO THEIR DEATHS IN WAR.' THE PRIVATE DOCUMENTS BEING RELEASED FROM THE ARCHIVES TODAY COVER NOT ONLY THE FALKLANDS BUT ALSO A BIG TRIP TO CHINA. HER PAPERS SHOW SHE PERSONALLY OVERSAW EVERY DETAIL, FROM WHICH OUTFIT TO WEAR TO THE SEAS LUGS AND FISH LIPS ON THE BANQUET MENU. BUT WHEN IT CAME TO TACKLING THE CHINESE OVER ANOTHER SOVEREIGNTY ISSUE, HONG KONG, THIS TIME, SHE WAS PREPARED TO COMPROMISE. SHE REALISED THAT THAT, YOU KNOW... THERE WAS NO WAY WE COULD DEFEND IT MILITARILY, AND THEREFORE WE HAD TO MAKE AN ACCOMMODATION, AND LONG TERM, IT WAS THEIRS. PRAGMATIC OVER HONG KONG, FEARLESS OVER THE FALKLANDS, AND UNDERNEATH IT ALL, SHE SHOWED AGAIN, WHEN YEARS LATER SHE WAS FORCED OUT OF OFFICE, EQUALLY VULNERABLE. JENNY-MAY'S HERE WITH SPORT.

That's why ANZ has more home-loan specialists than any other bank, and they'll come to you. My money's on the renovation.
