IT'S MIDDAY. IS OUR FRAGILE INFRASTRUCTURE NETWORK READY FOR THE EASTER RUSH AS THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND TRAVEL KICKS OFF? PLUS ` HOW AN ARREST IN AUCKLAND IS LINKED TO AN INTERNATIONAL CYBER CRIME STING. AND THE NEWS BLACKCAPS FANS WERE DREADING, WITH CAPTAIN KANE WILLIAMSON LIKELY OUT OF THE CRICKET WORLD CUP. CAPTIONS BY MAEVE KELLY AND SAM BAKER. CAPTIONS WERE MADE WITH THE SUPPORT OF NZ ON AIR. WWW.ABLE.CO.NZ COPYRIGHT ABLE 2023 THE COUNTDOWN'S ON FOR THE EASTER WEEKEND WITH MANY GETTING READY TO HIT THE ROAD. BUT AFTER WEEKS OF DAMAGING WEATHER EVENTS, AND ONGOING FERRY WOES ACROSS THE COOK STRAIT IS OUR INFRASTRUCTURE READY FOR A HOLIDAY RUSH? JESSICA SWAN TAKES A LOOK. FRUSTRATION IS BOILING OVER IN PICTON. WE'VE GOT A PROUD HISTORY OF OUR INFRASTRUCTURE GOING DOWN THE TOILET. ROB BURN OWNS ACCOMMODATION BY THE BLUEBRIDGE FERRY TERMINAL IN PICTON. HE'S FED UP WITH THE RECENT DELAYS AND CANCELLATIONS ON THE COOK STRAIT FERRIES. THIS IS PROBABLY THE WORST WE'VE EVER SEEN IT. WE'VE NEVER HAD BOTH COMPANIES OUT AT ONCE. AND SO MUCH DISRUPTION, AND OF COURSE EVERYONE IS REALLY KEEN TO TRAVEL AFTER COVID. SO IT'S IMPACTING A LOT OF PEOPLE. JUST IN THE LAST WEEK, 21 BLUEBRIDGE SAILINGS HAVE BEEN CANCELLED, LEAVING SOME CUSTOMERS SLEEPING IN THEIR CAR, AND FOR THE INTERISLANDER... THE CURRENT SITUATION FOR US IS THAT THE KAITAKI IS OUT OF SERVICE. BUT THE WEEKEND'S LOOKING MORE POSITIVE FOR BOTH COMPANIES. BLUEBRIDGE'S TROUBLED FERONIA FERRY IS BACK ON THE WATER TODAY, AND INTERISLANDER SAYS THEIR EASTER SAILINGS ARE ALL READY TO GO, BUT THE PROBLEMS ARE FAR FROM OVER. WE ARE GETTING NEW SHIPS AND TERMINALS, AND THE FIRST NEW SHIP IS DUE TO ARRIVE IN 2025. SO WE'RE ADDRESSING THE SORT OF LONGER-TERM ISSUES. BUT IN THE MEANTIME, WE'RE HIGHLY FOCUSED ON ENSURING OUR CURRENT FLEET REMAINS SAFE AND RELIABLE. MEANWHILE, FOR THOSE HITTING THE ROADS, THERE COULD BE DELAYS AS REPAIRS CONTINUE FROM THE RECENT WEATHER. CERTAINLY THE CYCLONE HAS HAD A BIG IMPACT TO OUR NETWORK, SO OUR CREWS HAVE DONE A FANTASTIC JOB IN GETTING HIGHWAYS BACK OPEN AGAIN, BUT WE DO STILL HAVE A COUPLE OF CLOS` OR THREE CLOSURES ACROSS THE NORTH ISLAND. THE MESSAGE FROM AUTHORITIES IS PLAN AHEAD. AS THE NEXT FEW DAYS PROMISE A WELCOME BREAK FOR MANY, MUCH OF OUR INFRASTRUCTURE STILL NEEDS A FIX. JESSICA SWAN, 1 NEWS. AND TRAVEL PLANS COULD BE DISRUPTED BY THE WEATHER IN SOME PARTS OF THE COUNTRY, WITH RAIN FORECAST OVER THE EASTER PERIOD. NIWA IS EXPECTING AROUND A MONTH'S WORTH OF RAINFALL IN THE NORTHLAND REGIONS, WHICH IS TYPICALLY AROUND 100mm IN APRIL. FURTHER SOUTH, CHRIS BRANDOLINO SAYS, PEOPLE SHOULDN'T SEE MUCH RAIN AT ALL. SO, THE SOUTH ISLAND ` LITTLE BIT CHILLY, A LITTLE BIT WINDY TODAY, WITH A BIT OF RAIN, BUT TOMORROW AND FRIDAY, I THINK, BUT FOR THE NORTH ISLAND, WE SHOW THE WIND ANIMATION ` THAT'S BECAUSE YOU CAN SEE A LOW; YOU CAN SEE A SPIN TO THE NORTH OF THE MOTU, AND THAT IS GOING TO HELP BRING UNSETTLED WEATHER. WE ARE GOING TO GET SOME RAIN, IT LOOKS LIKE, TODAY. IT'LL BE HEAVY RAIN UP AROUND THE BAY OF ISLANDS AND EASTERN AND NORTH-EASTERN PARTS OF NORTHLAND. HE SAYS TO WATCH FOR FLOODING AND SLIPS IN THOSE AREAS. PRIMARY AND AREA SCHOOL PRINCIPALS ACROSS AOTEAROA HAVE VOTED IN FAVOUR OF STOPPING ALL WORK WITH THE MINISTRY OF EDUCATION. THE WORK BAN WILL BEGIN ON APRIL 24th, THE FIRST DAY OF TERM TWO. THEIR UNION, THE NZEI, SAYS IT'LL REMAIN IN PLACE UNTIL THEY RECEIVE AN AGREEABLE OFFER FROM THE MINISTRY REGARDING ONGOING SERIOUS CONCERNS RELATING TO PAY AND WORKING CONDITIONS. WORK ON INTRODUCING OR IMPLEMENTING ANY NEW MINISTRY INITIATIVE, SUCH AS THE CURRICULUM REFRESH, WILL BE PAUSED. SECONDARY TEACHERS ARE ALSO DUE TO HOLD ROLLING STRIKES IN TERM TWO. POLICE HAVE RAIDED A CENTRAL AUCKLAND ADDRESS, ARRESTING A MAN (30) AS PART OF AN INTERNATIONAL STING THAT'S SHUT DOWN A MAJOR CYBER-CRIME WEBSITE. 'OPERATION COOKIE MONSTER' WAS LED BY THE FBI AND DUTCH NATIONAL POLICE, WITH RAIDS ACROSS 17 COUNTRIES. THE BBC'S DANIEL SANDFORD HAS MORE ON THE OPERATION. COME TO THE DOOR! POLICE! COME TO THE DOOR! as part of the login process. A DAWN RAID IN GRIMSBY. THE START OF AN INTERNATIONAL OPERATION AGAINST ALLEGED HACKERS WHO STEAL FROM ONLINE BANK ACCOUNTS AND SHOPPING SITES. HERE, OFFICERS FROM THE NATIONAL CRIME AGENCY ARRESTED A MAN. THE TARGET OF THE RAISE WAS THE GENESIS MARKET WEBSITE, FOR HACKERS TO BUY STOLEN PASSWORDS. WHAT WAS PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS ABOUT THE DATA BEING SOLD ON THE MARKET WEBSITE WAS THAT IT WASN'T JUST LOGGING DETAILS. THE HACKERS COULD PURCHASE ALL OF WHAT IS KNOWN AS YOUR DIGITAL FINGERPRINT, YOUR BROWSER INFORMATION, YOUR IP ADDRESS AND YOUR PHYSICAL LOCATION. WHEN THEY LOGGED IN TO A BANK ACCOUNT OR SHOPPING WEBSITE, IT REALLY DID LOOK AS IF THEY WERE THE ORIGINAL USER. HACKERS TRYING TO USE THE MARKET TODAY DIDN'T GET THE USUAL LOGIN PAGE; RATHER, THEY GOT THIS MESSAGE FROM THE FBI SAYING IT HAD BEEN SEIZED AS OPERATION COOKIE MONSTER, A REFERENCE TO THE FACT THAT ONE OF THE THINGS THEY WERE SELLING WERE COMPUTER COOKIES TO HELP HACKERS IMPERSONATE GENUINE USERS. WE NOW WANT CRIMINALS TO BE AFRAID THAT WE HAVE THEIR CREDENTIALS, AND THEY SHOULD BE. AND PEOPLE TODAY ARE GOING TO KNOCK ON THE DOOR VERY EARLY IN THE MORNING. THE NATIONAL CRIME AGENCY ADVISED THE PUBLIC THAT TO AVOID FRAUD, THEY SHOULD ALWAYS MAKE SOFTWARE UPDATES. THEY SHOULD USE STRONG PASSWORDS AND WHERE POSSIBLE USE TWO FACTOR AUTHENTICATION. THAT IS WHERE A TEXT MESSAGE WITH A ONE USE PASSWORD IS SENT. CONSUMER NEW ZEALAND SAYS IT'S CONCERNED OUR SUPERMARKETS HAVE 'SYSTEMIC ISSUES' IN DODGY FOOD PRICING. THE WATCHDOG HAS RECEIVED MORE THAN 300 EXAMPLES OF MISLEADING PRICING FROM SHOPPERS. IT INCLUDES 78 SO CALLED 'SPECIALS', WHICH DIDN'T OFFER CUSTOMERS ANY SAVINGS AND 54 INSTANCES WHERE CUSTOMERS PAID MORE THAN THE SHELF PRICE. CONSUMER NZ SAYS WHILE WOOLWORTHS HAS AGREED TO IMPROVE ITS PRACTICES, FOODSTUFFS HAS REJECTED THE CONCERNS. DESPITE NEW ZEALAND'S HEALTH SYSTEM BEING DESCRIBED AS EXPERIENCING A 'CRISIS', ONE RECRUITER SAYS THERE IS STILL A DESIRE FOR PEOPLE TO COME WORK HERE. A GREENLIST ALLOWS DOCTORS AND NURSES TO GET TO AOTEAROA MORE EFFICIENTLY. HEALTH RECRUITER PRUDENCE THOMSON SAYS THE APPEAL OF AOTEAROA IS ITS PEOPLE. THE WORK WILL BE THE SAME, NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE IN THE WORLD. THERE'S 15 MILLION MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS SHORT IN THE WHOLE WORLD, SO COMING TO NEW ZEALAND, YOU GET A BALANCE OF LIFESTYLE. AND I'VE WORKED IN THE NHS. I'VE WORKED IN THE NEW ZEALAND SYSTEM NURSING MANY YEARS AGO, AND THERE WAS SIMILAR PRESSURES. BUT I THINK NEW ZEALAND STILL HAS A HUGE AMOUNT TO OFFER. PRUDENCE THOMSON SAYS WHILE THE GREEN LIST IS GOOD PROGRESS, NEW ZEALAND NEEDS TO MAKE THE PATHWAY FOR INTERNATIONAL TALENT SMOOTHER. VIOLENT SCENES HAVE BROKEN OUT IN ISRAEL AT A MOSQUE IN OCCUPIED EAST JERUSALEM. ISRAELI POLICE ATTACKED THE AL-AQSA MOSQUE, CLAIMING PALESTINIAN REBELS HAD BARRICADED THEMSELVES INSIDE. THE RAID PROVOKED RETALIATION FROM PALESTINIAN MILITANTS. THE BBC'S YOLANDE KNELL HAS MORE. AND A WARNING ` THIS STORY CONTAINS SOME DISTRESSING IMAGES. (FIREWORKS EXPLODE) FIREWORKS BEING THROWN IN THE PRAYER HALL AT AL-AQSA MOSQUE. ISRAELI POLICE RELEASED THIS FOOTAGE TO SHOW WHAT THEY DESCRIBED AS 'PALESTINIAN AGITATORS' WHO'D BARRICADED THEMSELVES INSIDE. MEANWHILE, DISTRESSING IMAGES APPEARED ON SOCIAL MEDIA OF OFFICERS HITTING PALESTINIAN WORSHIPPERS WITH A RIFLE BUTT AND STICKS. THEY IGNITED WIDESPREAD ANGER. ISRAELI SECURITY FORCES SAY THEY CARRIED OUT A PRE-DAWN RAID TO CLEAR THE HOLY SITE AFTER DOZENS OF PEOPLE REFUSED TO LEAVE. EARLIER, THE ISLAMIST MILITANT GROUP HAMAS IN THE GAZA STRIP HAD URGED MUSLIMS TO PROTECT THE MOSQUE AFTER JEWISH FRINGE EXTREMISTS CALLED FOR AN ANIMAL SACRIFICE HERE FOR PASSOVER. SOON, VIOLENCE FLARED IN GAZA TOO ` PALESTINIAN ROCKETS WERE FIRED, AND ISRAEL'S WARPLANES STRUCK BACK, HITTING HAMAS SITES, WITH NO ONE REPORTED HURT IN THE EXCHANGE OF FIRE. THIS MORNING, AS A CLEANUP BEGAN AT AL-AQSA, WITNESSES CONDEMNED THE ISRAELI ACTION DURING THE ISLAMIC HOLY MONTH OF RAMADAN. TRANSLATOR: THESE PEOPLE WERE PRAYING. WHAT ELSE DID THEY DO AT NIGHT? THEY WEREN'T BOTHERING ANYONE. NO JEWS COME HERE AT NIGHT. THEY JUST WANT TO EMPTY THE MOSQUE OF MUSLIMS. LATER, TENSIONS ROSE AGAIN AS ISRAELI POLICE ESCORTED JEWISH VISITORS AROUND THE SITE. THIS IS THE HOLIEST PLACE IN JUDAISM, KNOWN AS TEMPLE MOUNT, AS WELL AS THE THIRD-HOLIEST PLACE IN ISLAM. SOME ISRAELIS SAY THAT IT'S NOW RELATIVELY CALM. I THINK THAT EVERYTHING IS GONNA BE FINE. LIKE, YOU SEE THAT THIS YEAR, LIKE... BETTER THAN THE LAST YEARS, THAT ALSO THE POLITICIANS AND EVERYTHING HERE IN ISRAEL MAKE MORE THE RAMADAN POSSIBLE FOR THE ARABS TO COME HERE. TODAY, JEWISH ISRAELIS HAVE BEEN BURNING LEFTOVER BREAD AHEAD OF PASSOVER. FOR THE NEXT WEEK, IMPORTANT RELIGIOUS HOLIDAYS OVERLAP. THE FEAR NOW IS THAT COULD LEAD TO YET MORE CONFRONTATIONS AT JERUSALEM'S MOST SENSITIVE HOLY SITE. AN AXE ATTACK ON A PRESCHOOL IN SOUTHERN BRAZIL HAS LEFT FOUR CHILDREN DEAD AND AT LEAST FIVE OTHERS INJURED. IT IS BELIEVED A MAN (25) ARMED WITH A SMALL AXE JUMPED OVER A WALL AND ENTERED THE DAY-CARE'S PLAYGROUND. THOSE KILLED ARE BELIEVED TO BE BETWEEN THE AGES OF 5 AND 7. THE ATTACKER FLED THE SCENE AFTER A TEACHER CAME TO THE VICTIMS' AID BUT HAS SINCE TURNED THEMSELVES IN TO POLICE. NEW ZEALAND APPEARS TO BE STRENGTHENING ITS RELATIONSHIP WITH NATO, WITH NANAIA MAHUTA ATTENDING A FOREIGN MINISTER'S MEETING AT THE DEFENCE ALLIANCE'S HEADQUARTERS. MAHUTA'S TWO-DAY TRIP TO BRUSSELS FOLLOWS A VISIT BY A NATO MILITARY DELEGATION LAST MONTH. INDO-PACIFIC REGIONAL ISSUES AND THE INFLUENCE OF CHINA ON RUSSIA HEADLINED THE DISCUSSIONS. SHE WEIGHED IN ON BEIJING'S RELATIONSHIP WITH MOSCOW. NOW THE KEY FOCUS IS THE WAR IN UKRAINE AND NEW ZEALAND'S PERSPECTIVE IS THAT CHINA SHOULD USE ITS INFLUENCE ON RUSSIA TO CEASE THE WAR, WITHDRAW THE TROOPS, A RETURN TO INTERNATIONALLY AGREED BOUNDARIES IN ORDER FOR MEANINGFUL PEACEFUL NEGOTIATIONS TO COMMENCE. MAHUTA REPEATED NEW ZEALAND'S COMMITTMENT TO TAKE ON THE 'GEOSTRATEGIC CHALLENGES' IN THE INDO-PACIFIC REGION OF THE WORLD. THE U.S. SAYS ITS SUPPORT FOR TAIWAN IS UNWAVERING, PLEDGING A CONTINUED SUPPLY OF ARMS TO TAIPEI. THE ANNOUNCEMENT COMES AS TAIWAN'S PRESIDENT VISITS CALIFORNIA FOR A HIGHLY ANTICIPATED MEETING WITH THE SPEAKER OF THE U.S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. THE COUNTRIES ARE HOLDING TALKS PROMOTING ECONOMIC INTERESTS AND REGIONAL SECURITY. THE HIGH-PROFILE ENCOUNTER HAS ALREADY SPARKED OUTRAGE FROM CHINA, WITH OFFICIALS LABELLING THE MEETING A PROVOCATION AND A VIOLATION OF ITS ONE CHINA POLICY. WE WELCOME COMPETITION WITH THE PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF CHINA. BUT DO NOT SEEK CONFLICT. THE WORK WE DO IN CONGRESS WILL SEEK TO PROMOTE THE SAFETY AND SECURITY WHILE PROTECTING IN THE INTERESTS OF OUR ALLIES AND PARTNERS. THE HOUSE SPEAKER, KEVIN McCARTHY, SAYS AMERICA'S RELATIONS WITH TAIWAN HAVE NEVER BEEN STRONGER. AND CHINA'S HOLDING DIPLOMATIC MEETINGS OF ITS OWN. THE EU COMMISSIONER AND FRENCH PRESIDENT EMMANUEL MACRON HAVE ARRIVED IN BEIJING FOR TALKS WITH PRESIDENT XI JINPING. IT'S EXPECTED THE EUROPEAN LEADERS WILL PUSH PRESIDENT XI TO TAKE FURTHER STEPS TO BRING PEACE IN UKRAINE. TRANSLATOR: CHINA SUPPOSEDLY HAVE PROPOSED A PEACE PLAN. WE WELCOMED IT, BUT DO WE AGREE ON ALL OF IT? NO. NEVERTHELESS, I THINK THAT THIS DIALOGUE WITH CHINA IS ESSENTIAL BECAUSE WE ARE EUROPEANS OF THE EUROPEAN UNION AND WE WOULD BE WRONG TO LEAVE THE EXCLUSIVE DIALOGUE TO CHINA OR TO OTHER CONTINENTAL EUROPEANS SUCH AS THE RUSSIANS. MACRON IS EXPECTED TO SPEND SEVERAL HOURS IN DISCUSSION WITH XI. THE UNITED STATES IS 'GOING TO HELL'. THAT WAS DONALD TRUMP'S RESPONSE FOLLOWING HIS COURT APPEARANCE YESTERDAY, WHERE HE WAS CHARGED WITH 34 COUNTS OF FALSIFYING BUSINESS RECORDS. HE'S LABELLED THE CASE 'FAKE' AND CLAIMS IT'S ALL PART OF THE DEMOCRATS' SCHEME TO DAMAGE HIS CHANCES IN NEXT YEAR'S PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION. THE BBC'S SARAH SMITH HAS MORE. TRUMP SUPPORTERS LINED THE STREETS TO WELCOME HIM BACK TO FLORIDA, AND YOU CAN SEE HE'S CLEARLY LOVING IT AFTER WHAT MUST HAVE FELT LIKE A HUMILIATING COURTROOM ORDEAL IN NEW YORK. THE FORMER PRESIDENT USED A PRIME-TIME SPEECH FROM HIS MAR-A-LAGO RESIDENCE TO ATTACK THE PROSECUTOR, WHO HAS CHARGED HIM WITH 34 FELONY CRIMES. AND I NEVER THOUGHT ANYTHING LIKE THIS COULD HAPPEN IN AMERICA. I NEVER THOUGHT IT COULD HAPPEN. THE ONLY CRIME THAT I HAVE COMMITTED IS TO FEARLESSLY DEFEND OUR NATION FROM THOSE WHO SEEK TO DESTROY IT. (CHEERING, APPLAUSE) DONALD TRUMP BELIEVES THIS PROSECUTION COULD HELP HIS ELECTION PROSPECTS. HE IS NOW CENTRE STAGE AGAIN, AND HIS PARTY, INCLUDING HIS RIVALS, SUPPORT HIS CLAIM THAT HE'S BEING TARGETED UNFAIRLY FOR POLITICAL REASONS. WE ARE A NATION IN DECLINE, AND NOW THESE RADICAL LEFT LUNATICS WANT TO INTERFERE WITH OUR ELECTIONS BY USING LAW ENFORCEMENT. WE CAN'T LET THAT HAPPEN. THINGS HAVE CERTAINLY CALMED DOWN OUTSIDE MANHATTAN'S CRIMINAL COURT TODAY, AND DONALD TRUMP WILL NOT BE BACK HERE AGAIN BEFORE DECEMBER WHEN THE NEXT HEARING IS SCHEDULED. BUT REMEMBER, HE IS FACING SEVERAL OTHER LEGAL INVESTIGATIONS ` OVER THE JANUARY 6TH RIOTS, OVER THE CLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS FOUND AT HIS HOME IN FLORIDA AND OVER ALLEGED ELECTION INTERFERENCE IN THE STATE OF GEORGIA. NEXT YEAR, DONALD TRUMP MAY BE HAVING TO DEFEND HIMSELF IN SEVERAL DIFFERENT LEGAL CASES AT THE SAME TIME AS RUNNING HIS THIRD PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION CAMPAIGN. STILL TO COME ON MIDDAY ` YAAAAS, QUEEN. WHY CAMILLA'S SET TO DROP THE CONSORT AFTER THE KING'S CORONATION. PLUS ` ACES FOR EVERYONE AS THE PROS GET READY TO TEE OFF AT AUGUSTA. HOKI MAI ANO ` WELCOME BACK. FOR THE EIGHTH YEAR IN A ROW, NEW ZEALAND'S GLACIERS ARE SHRINKING. NIWA'S END-OF-SUMMER SURVEY HAS SHOWN A CONTINUED LOSS OF ICE AND SNOW. RESEARCHERS SAY THE OBSERVATIONS DON'T SUGGEST A REVERSAL OF THE ONGOING TREND ANY TIME SOON AND IS, QUOTE, 'VERY WORRISOME' FOR AOTEAROA. BUCKINGHAM PALACE HAS CONFIRMED THE QUEEN CONSORT WILL BE KNOWN AS QUEEN CAMILLA AFTER KING CHARLES' CORONATION IN MAY. IT WAS LATE QUEEN ELIZABETH'S WISH THAT CAMILLA BE KNOWN AS QUEEN CONSORT, BUT THE PALACE WILL NOW GO ONE STEP FURTHER, CONTINUING THE NAMING STYLE AS PREVIOUS CONSORTS. THE BBC'S NICHOLAS WITCHELL HAS MORE. MOULTON IN NORTH YORKSHIRE TODAY ` A VISIT BY KING CHARLES AND QUEEN CAMILLA; THE TERM 'QUEEN CONSORT' IS TO BE DROPPED. CAMILLA IS TO BE KNOWN SIMPLY AS 'THE QUEEN' ` IT'S A REMARKABLE TRANSITION. ROLL BACK SOME 25 YEARS TO THE AFTERMATH OF THE TRAGIC DEATH OF THE KING'S FIRST WIFE, DIANA, AND CAMILLA, THE THIRD PERSON IN THE FUTURE KING'S MARRIAGE, WAS A CONTROVERSIAL FIGURE. IN 2005, AFTER CHARLES AND CAMILLA WERE MARRIED AT WINDSOR REGISTRY OFFICE, CHARLES' OFFICIALS PUT IT ABOUT THAT WHEN HE TOOK THE THRONE, SHE WOULD BE KNOWN AS 'THE PRINCESS CONSORT' ` IT WAS A RECOGNITION OF PUBLIC SENSITIVITIES, BUT IN REALITY, IT WAS A SMOKESCREEN. IN 2010, AN AMERICAN TV JOURNALIST ASKED CHARLES ABOUT IT. DOES THE DUCHESS OF CORNWALL BECOME QUEEN OF ENGLAND IF AND WHEN YOU BECOME THE MONARCH? THAT'S` THAT'S, UM... CONCEIVABLY. BUT, UM... THAT COULD BE. AND SO TO FEBRUARY OF LAST YEAR ` THE LATE QUEEN ELIZABETH WAS AT SANDRINGHAM TO MARK THE 70TH ANNIVERSARY OF HER ACCESSION TO THE THRONE. SHE ISSUED A TOUCHING STATEMENT IN WHICH SHE SAID, SHE ISSUED A TOUCHING STATEMENT IN WHICH SHE SAID... THE LATE QUEEN'S INTENTION WAS TO NEUTRALISE THE WHOLE ISSUE OF HOW CAMILLA WOULD BE KNOWN, BUT THEY ARE GOING ONE STEP FURTHER THAN THE LATE QUEEN SUGGESTED. MANY, THOUGH, WILL FEEL THAT CAMILLA DESERVES THE RECOGNITION. UNTIL THE DAY SHE MARRIED, SHE WAS THE HATED MISTRESS. BUT AS TIME WENT ON, AS SHE PROVED HERSELF TO BE A GOOD AND VERY SUPPORTIVE WIFE TO HIM, SINCE, BY LAW, SHE WOULD BE QUEEN, IT WAS ABSOLUTELY NATURAL THAT SHE SHOULD BE CALLED QUEEN. THE DIE HAS BEEN CAST. THE PALACE WILL BE WATCHING PUBLIC REACTION CLOSELY. TO SPORT, AND IT'S BAD NEWS FOR THE BLACKCAPS, WITH KANE WILLIAMSON ALL BUT OUT FOR THE CRICKET WORLD CUP. WILLIAMSON SUFFERED A TORN ANTERIOR CRUCIATE LIGAMENT WHILST ON DEBUT FOR HIS IPL SIDE, THE GUJARAT TITANS. WILLIAMSON WILL UNDERGO SURGERY AND REHAB RULING HIM OUT OF THE UPCOMING ODI WORLD CUP. YOU TAKE KANE THE PLAYER FOR A START, BUT THEN KANE THE LEADER AND THE PERSON HE IS WITHIN OUR GROUP AS WELL... IT'S A HUGE SPANNER IN THE WORKS FOR US. AS I SAID EARLIER, WE HAVEN'T GIVEN UP HOPE, THOUGH, THAT HE MIGHT BE RIGHT, BUT AT THIS STAGE, IT DOES LOOK UNLIKELY. THE ODI WORLD CUP BEGINS LATER IN THE YEAR. THE WORLD CUP IS SIX MONTHS AWAY, BEGINING IN OCTOBER. A DAY OUT FROM TEEING OFF AT THE MASTERS FOR THE FIRST TIME, RYAN FOX HAS HAD A STRONG OUTING AT THE TRADITIONAL PRE-TOURNAMENT PAR 3 CHALLENGE. THE WORLD NUMBER 37 IMPRESSED AROUND THE NINE-HOLE COURSE. CARDING A FOUR UNDER PAR TO TIE FOR FOURTH, FOX HAD HIS FATHER GRANT CARRYING THE BAG FOR THE ROUND, WHICH WASN'T ALL SMOOTH SAILING. RYAN FOX PLAYING THE FIFTH HOLE NOW. PLAYER OF THE YEAR ON THE DP WORLD TOUR LAST YEAR. WELL... A HEADER PERHAPS. A HEADER PERHAPS. SEAMUS POWER USING SOME OF HIS IRISH LUCK TO GET BACK TO BACK HOLE IN ONES. IT'S SEAMUS POWER DOWNHILL ` 114 YARDS. THERE HAS NOT BEEN A HOLE IN ONE YET TODAY.

COME BACK DOWN, AT THE PROPER SPEED. LOOKS GOOD. SEAMUS POWER! BACK-TO-BACK HOLES.� BACK-TO-BACK HOLES. FORMER MASTERS CHAMPS BUBBA WATSON AND SCOTTIE SCHEFFLER ALSO SCORING ACES. BUT TOM HOGE'S HOLE IN ONE ON THE EIGHTH LIFTING HIM TO THE TOP OF THE LEADERBOARD. HOLE NINE. WELL, YOU HEARD THE ROAR. IT'S TOM HOGE. (CROWD ROARS) (CROWD ROARS) (CROWD ROARS) YES, SIR! AS THE GREAT VERNE LUNDQUIST MIGHT HAVE SAID. PLAYERS NOW RESTING UP BEFORE THE FIRST ROUND BEGINS TOMORROW MORNING. NEWCASTLE UNITED HAVE DEALT TO WEST HAM IN THE ENGLISH PREMIER LEAGUE THIS MORNING. NEWCASTLE CONVINCINGLY BEATING THE HAMMERS 5-1. BOTH CALLUM WILSON AND JOELINTON GETTING DOUBLES.
