Due to the live nature of Tonight, we apologise for the lack of captions for some items. Why the Destiny Church is likely to get public money to help build its holy city in South Auckland. The Rena clean-up continues as dive crews wait to inspect the submerged stern. And a supermarket stoush on YouTube leads to two arrests in Rotorua. Self-styled Destiny Church Bishop Brian Tamaki wants public money for his Destiny City, and he has top-level support from a government minister. The Bishop has already secured the land and resource consent to build his so-called holy city in South Auckland. Kate Lynch with the story. Self-styled 'bishop' Brian Tamaki interrupted his holiday to attend church in Whakatane and respond to criticism of his grandiose plans for Destiny city. Well, I'd rather see a church build bigger churches. They're far more positive than our prisons, and that's where most of our whanau are. We had to get resource consent. No, we got it! Since footage screened on ONE News of Mr Tamaki announcing his plans at New Year's, some critics have taken aim at him and called Destiny a cult. People can say what they want, but, hey, it's going ahead, it's happened, and as I say, it's a community that involves only good things. Even the Auckland Council's been a target for its decision to grant consent to the church. So we applied and obtained a copy of the resource consent from the council. It confirms the Destiny City plans to house a church, schools, a childcare facility and a gymnasium. The most remarkable item in the plans ` a hairdressing salon. Mr Tamaki says it will cost tens of millions of dollars. Over time, it's going to be serious cash, and that all comes from those who believe it and who have walked this journey. Most of the money will come from his congregation, but Mr Tamaki thinks the government should front up with some funding. They'd be better off giving me money to build their towns instead of the stuff they're building out there and wasting money, and they are building bigger prisons. I agree with him entirely. It's far more positive if you can keep people out of going to prison. That's where we've got to start ` not try and reform them after. Minister for Maori Affairs Pita Sharples says Mr Tamaki can apply for millions of dollars of government funding and given his track record, his application would be taken very seriously. You're talking about buildings, and you're talking about salaries, and you're talking about setting-up grant ` establishment grant ` and you're talking about an operations grant. So it's the full school` For a school alone, it's the full payout, if you like, that he would be entitled to. And according to Mr Sharples, the full payout Mr Tamaki is entitled to runs in to the millions. And one religious academic agrees with the Maori Affairs Minister. Religious historian Peter Lineham says Destiny Church will be eligible for government money because of its community service work. It's done a great deal of kind of therapeutic work with people. I'd say on that basis he'd stand` I think Sharples is right ` he stands credit to get some money. It's not a very attractive message, though, and I don't think people want to hear that a rather sectarian body can receive a good deal of state funding. Dr Lineham says the town in South Auckland will prove popular as people look for connections they have lost in everyday society. A Svitzer salvage dive team remains on standby, ready to go down to assess the submerged stern of Rena off the Bay of Plenty coast. But the company says it's still too dangerous down on the Astrolabe Reef. Salvage experts say there's been no change today to the state of the wreck. On shore, the clean-up operation's in full swing as Kim Vinnell reports. It's difficult, arduous work. One by one, containers are towed the length of Waihi's usually pristine beach, where they're chained, lifted and taken away. And although beach-goers are asked to be careful in the water, many are taking their chances. It's looking pretty clean, actually. The waves are looking pretty clean, and the surface of the water's looking pretty clean. So it doesn't look like there's any debris out there at the moment. It was great today. Waihi Beach locals are determined to be part of the clean-up. Don't assume anything's safe. Assume it's risky. Assume it's hazardous. Convincing Maritime NZ they should be allowed to help, more than 70 turned up for an early morning briefing. The beach is then cleared,... We're gonna close the beach at 12.30 today. ...and volunteers get to work. It smells quite a bit. Yeah, smells like... (SNIFFS) you know, like it's been in a meatpackers. Yeah, I think we'll get there. I feel quite positive that we can get stuck in. Further south, booms are in place to keep oil out of Maketu's precious estuary. It's sort of brought the community together to sort of, you know, work together and try and clean up this mess. It's sad, because we've got a lot of kaimoana up the estuary. We've got, you know, plenty of pipis up here. There's kaimoana here for the locals. It's predicted some oil and debris will arrive here late tomorrow, but authorities can't say exactly what's in store. It depends entirely how it breaks up in the action of the surf. We just can't predict that. The Rena itself remains much the same ` the back section mostly submerged, the forward stuck hard on Astrolabe Reef. Tugs are in place to catch any new oil that may escape the dying ship, and divers are on standby to assess the vessel. It's still considered too hazardous to actually dive on the wreck for obvious reasons now. There's probably going to be a great deal of torn steel. Once again, progress is dependent on the weather holding up. Kim Vinnell, ONE News. A Korean fishing vessel is sinking in the Southern Ocean after a fire on-board left three crew members missing, believed dead, and another two seriously burned. The crew on board the Jeong Woo 2 sent a mayday call after the ship went up in flames 600km north of McMurdo Station. Two other Korean fishing vessels in the area came to their aid, and a US vessel with medical facilities on board was expected to reach them tonight. They'll assess the injured crewmen. We hope to get them to McMurdo Base as quickly as possible. The remaining crewmen that are uninjured, we're working closely with various embassies of that nations involved, the people at McMurdo Base and others to see what we can do in terms of getting them repatriated. While the ship is Korean-owned, the crew on-board were a mix of nationalities, including Indonesians, Vietnamese, Koreans, Chinese and Russians. A leading investment manager has described Ports of Auckland's financial performance as 'abysmal' compared to its rival, Port of Tauranga. Brain Gaynor's comments come as Ports of Auckland and the Maritime Union prepare for another mediation meeting tomorrow morning hoping to bring months of strike action to an end. Over the last few years, its dividend has fallen and it's now about half what it was 10 or 12 years ago, whereas Ports of Tauranga's dividend that it pays has increased dramatically. I think the management has been, uh, substandard at Ports of Auckland, but there obviously are some work practices that need to be improved. The Maritime Union says it's heading into the talks with an open mind and proposals the port should be happy with. Fiji's military regime is tightening its grip on power, despite lifting emergency regulations only days ago. It's given itself huge powers under a public order decree which can't be legally challenged. Pacific correspondent Barbara Dreaver explains. It's official ` Fiji's military regime has tightened its grip on the country. We feel it necessary to draw it to the attention of NZ citizens going up to Fiji that they are moving into a regime where the rule of law is not being abided by as they would expect in Australia or NZ. The Law Society describes the new decree as draconian. So what does it entail? Anyone who takes part in what's considered a meeting with no permit ` even if it's in a private home ` faces up to five years in prison. Soldiers can take on the role of police officers. If there's a meeting and they feel public safety is at risk, they can use whatever force necessary, including the use of arms. More importantly, any decision made under the public order decree cannot be challenged in court. The concern of the Law Society is always when any legislature` any lawmaker tries to oust the jurisdiction of the court, they do that for only one reason ` because they know their conduct won't stand scrutiny. Foreign Minister Murray McCully says NZ is disappointed this decree reproduces restrictions on freedom of expression. He hopes the regime understands the international community is watching for signs that public consultations due to start next month happens in an environment where there can be genuine political debate. The new decree is further evidence of Bainimarama further consolidating himself. He has no intention of giving up power. But the Fijian Government says the laws have been designed to prevent dangerous elements from threatening the promised elections in 2014. This, um, modernisation is necessary to effectively address terrorism, offences against public order and safety, racial and religious vilification, hate speech, and economic sabotage. It also puts a firm lid on freedom. Barbara Dreaver, ONE News. A teenager charged in connection with a deadly crash has appeared in the Auckland District Court today just hours after apparently fleeing a Child, Youth and Family group home. The driver (15) was originally bailed into CYF's care before he ran away from the group home on Monday afternoon. He's been remanded in custody and will be back in court tomorrow. Shaun Fitzpatrick (22) was killed when his car was hit by a stolen Subaru allegedly driven by the 15-year-old in the east Auckland suburb of Mt Wellington on Saturday. Rotorua police have arrested two women after am-cam footage of them apparently assaulting supermarket workers went viral on the internet. The footage was taken by a passer-by after staff accused the women of stealing wine and other items. Give it back. Give it back. WOMEN SHOUT Hey, stop it! The women, aged 30 and 50, will appear in Rotorua District Court on Monday charged with theft and assault. The footage has been seen by thousands on YouTube and brought condemnation from Rotorua's tourism bosses. Fonterra says it will be dropping the price of milk at the end of the month. Milk prices have been frozen for a year due to the high international market, but so far the dairy giant has refused to say how much the cut will be. Retailers ONE News spoke to said they will pass any reductions directly on to consumers. Time's running out for nearly 30 Lyttelton residents who are defying an order to move out of their homes because of the risk of rockfall. Just before Christmas the owners, who live in the shadow of the Port Hills, were given 20 days to get out or face fines or court action. Abby Scott reports. Joe Bennett isn't going anywhere. I sit there and I look up the hill and say, 'Bring it on.' They are not there. They are not coming. He's talking about rocks above his property that the council says make his home unsafe. This is the sum total of the rockfall at my property. Since then, 10,000 earthquakes; number of rocks that have come down: nil. Joe Bennett took us up the hill to explain why he feels safe. There's only two rocks that could conceivably ` and that would be freakish ` come down upon me, and they can't come down upon me because the neighbour, who's an engineer, fixed them. The city has ongoing earthquakes, and because rockfalls like these continue to happen, the council says some properties in Lyttelton just aren't safe to live in. Our concern isn't just for that resident. It's for all of the other services that might attend the property, other people that might go, the postie, the gas guy, whoever. I am neither suicidal nor, I'd love to think, stupid. The council says it may get engineers to re-examine the hill, but until then, eviction is the only option. If we have the knowledge that a property has been declared unsafe by a geotechnical survey, we have a duty of care. We must react to that situation. Mr Bennett's property was red-stickered last August. December's notice to fix means he and 26 others have till next Wednesday to get out or end up in court. They'll have to carry me off the property, and if they don't lock me up, then I'll walk back up. A threat it seems may be tested sooner rather than later. Abby Scott, ONE News. Christchurch's sober image of the Garden City is about to change thanks to an endorsement from a world leading travel guide. The Lonely Planet guide has visited the city and says it's re-emerging as one of the country's most exciting cities. James Ransley with more. You wouldn't think there was much to do in a city beset by aftershocks, but today overseas visitors were out making the most of the weather. I'm glad I saved the best for last, because it's outstanding. Perhaps more surprising, the Lonely Planet ` one of the world's most respected travel guides ` labelling Christchurch one of NZ's most exciting cities. And it's a fantastic accolade for Christchurch to say this is a cool and funky city. Researchers visited the region after the February quake and admit they were impressed with what they saw. There's this really quite surprising and cool energy in the city. There is a lot happening here and it's an unusual place, and who knows ` you might get to experience a small aftershock and you'll have something to boast about for years. Long-haul travellers are also voting with their feet. Arrivals for 2011's final quarter are up on last year. We're having beautiful summer weather. Most of our tourism attractions are operating around the city. It's pretty good. Those sentiments are a stark contrast to a recent blog which labelled the city one of 11 places in the world not to visit, something Cantabrians strongly disagree with. It looks really positive for the future. It's a bit different to what it used to be. It's really cool being here. And as Christchurch rebuilds, a nod from the Lonely Planet could be just what this city needs. James Ransley, ONE News. Just ahead ` tonight's action from the Heineken Tennis Open. But first ` Mitt Romney gets the bit between his teeth after a win at the New Hampshire primary. And we show you the gadgets of the future that we soon won't be able to live without. Mitt Romney has made it two wins in a row as the Republican Party moves to find a challenger for Barack Obama in this year's presidential election. Our US correspondent Tim Wilson has been following the race and filed this report. New Hampshire helped kill Mitt Romney's presidential hopes last time. That made this win all the sweeter. Thank you, New Hampshire. Tonight we made history! It's been more than 40 years since a Republican candidate won both Iowa and New Hampshire, Mr Romney attacked President Obama as if he was already the nominee. I stand ready to lead us down a different path, where we're lifted up by our desire to succeed. Libertarian Ron Paul came in second, but a last minute surge by ex-US ambassador to China, Jon Huntsman, refocused attention on his campaign. Candidate Jon Huntsman is just behind me, and you can get a sense of the media scrum here, pushing. This is presidential politics, New Hampshire style. Officials say that more than 250,000 people voted, and even as they did, they were being watched closely. Romney's own supporters conceded he's not the ideal candidate, but the best of a somewhat average bunch. They use the word 'electability'. Yeah, electability. I think he's got a long way to go to inspire people. I think he's got a long way to go to get some electricity and some passion rallying behind him and, uh, but, yeah, electability is it, because of the others. Thank you so much. God bless America! Thanks, you guys! As Mitt Romney spoke, he tried to put some electricity into electability, hoping to power himself into the next contest in South Carolina. Tim Wilson, ONE News, Manchester, New Hampshire. Heavy flooding and mudslides in south-east Brazil have killed at least 28 people. Rescue workers continue to search collapsed buildings and homes in hope of finding survivors. More than a dozen people are still missing, including a family of five who took shelter in their car. Tens of thousands of people have been forced to evacuate their homes. It's a showcase for the gadgets you don't think you need, but soon won't be able to live without. A consumer electronics show has kicked off in Las Vegas, where Channel 9's Robert Penfold checked out the latest must-haves. 150,000 people are here in Las Vegas for a glimpse into the future, and they're in awe, treating big-screen TVs like rock stars. TVs that give you the 3D experience without putting on the glasses. And this, Samsung's SO-LED 55-inch beauty, with its breathtakingly high-quality pictures. So, what is a footy game going to look like on this? Oh, superb. Unfortunately, it won't decide who wins. Also, throw away the remote. Now you can tell your TV to switch to 9. Did you notice that the volume of the TV went down so that it could recognise my voice? Panasonic's electric car recharges itself wirelessly while stopping over the power source. Now, all the other tablet-makers, of course, have been chasing Apple and its iPad. Well, Toshiba's come up with something that the iPad can't do, and that's live and work in water. And this guy's made a fortune with his iPhone case with a built-in bottle opener. And it comes with a free app ` it counts how many beers you've opened. To sport. The defending champion of Auckland's Heineken Men's Tennis Open has easily cruised through to the quarter finals. Spaniard David Ferrer beat Lukas Rosol of the Czech Republic 6-4, 6-2 in just over an hour. And there it is. David Ferrer comfortably through to the quarter-finals. The world number five will now face Columbian Allejandro Falla in the quarter-finals, hoping to become a three-time champion. And another Spaniard is through to the quarter-finals. Spaniard Fernando Verdasco narrowly beat Carlos Belocq of Argentina 7-5. Former NZ player Sacha Jones' run at the Hobart International is over. She now plays for Australia and has lost her second-round match to world number 27 Shahar Peer, 7-6, 6-4. I'll have Thursday's weather prospects after the break. Plus, the world's first ice torn opens for business. I'll tell you where. Straight to your weather now, and the big picture first. The low will move through fairly quickly, but could bring heavy rain for a time in places especially from Taranaki to Nelson and Buller. There could also be a period of strong-to-severe gales from central Hawke's Bay down to Wellington and Marlborough. However, by Sunday a high over the Tasman Sea casts a ridge over northern NZ. For weather, see tvnz.co.nz Finally tonight, in Russia, cold weather has encouraged the more artistic to create and open the world's first ice town. Moroz City, which means 'ice city' in Russian, boasts its own bank, gym, hotel and prison. It was built by more than a hundred people using 1000m3 of snow and 500 blocks of ice. The town is open to the public, and it's even possible to spend the night in the hotel. That's it from us here on Tonight. Thanks for watching. Goodnight. Captions by Hugo Snell and Chris Leggett.
