Rescue efforts at the grounded Italian cruise ship stop again as the captain cops global outrage for his actions. And an online blackout as Wikipedia takes a stand against draft piracy laws in the US. The Turangi teen who brutally attacked and raped a 5-year-old girl just before christmas will be tried as an adult. The Taupo Youth Court judge's decision came as the 16-year-old boy pleaded guilty to all charges. Kim Vinnell's been following the case. We still can't show you his face, but this is the boy who's admitted raping a girl (5) as she slept in this caravan in Turangi. Despite being just 16, he'll now be sentenced as an adult. He has always wanted to accept responsibility for what he's done. And he and his family both recognise the enormity of it all, and they just want to do the right thing. The boy and his family agreed he should be sentenced under the full force of the law in a district court. The judge said given the seriousness of the violence involved in this attack combined with the sexual element means that the appropriate sentence is likely exceed the jurisdiction of the Youth Court. The court heard the boy had written a letter of apology to his young victim, which has been given to the girl's parents. The boy's lawyer says it's been an ordeal. < What's he been like during this whole thing? Um, very upset, and he still is. In Turangi, locals are relieved, but say this doesn't take away from the brutality of the attack. That's going to be something that will stay with the whole family forever, I'd imagine. I don't imagine it takes away much of the pain. I just hope that... in the long run, that it's not going to leave too much of a scar for them, and that they'll come back to here. Auckland woman Tamsin Marshall started Citizens against Violent Crime as a result of this attack. I'm a mother. My little girl is nearly 3. I was quite touched by the story ` the family, what they're going through, that poor little girl. If it was my daughter... Delivering a petition with 800 signatures to the court asking the young man be sentenced as an adult, she says she's happy with the result. I think it's great. I think that's appropriate for this crime, and it's a good result. The boy will be sentenced in the Rotorua District Court at the end of next month. Kim Vinnell, ONE News. In the last hour, the search for survivors in Italy's grounded cruise ship was suspended again after the vessel shifted slightly. Rescue crews working in dangerous conditions have recovered 11 bodies so far, with 24 people still missing. Meanwhile a shocking recording's emerged of the liner's captain refusing to return to the stricken ship. He's now under house arrest after appearing in court on suspicion of multiple manslaughter. The BBC's Matthew Price reports. In the darkness, scared and disorientated, they moved in their hundreds down the side of the ship, each one dwarfed by the Costa Concordia as it lay listing, past the gash in the ship's hull, where the water flooded in. At around about the same time, this astonishing conversation was taking place between the ship's captain and a port official. And here is the captain, Francesco Schettino, the focus of police inquiries. Manhandled from court today, he's now under house arrest. Many here believe it was his actions alone that caused this disaster. His lawyer says not. TRANSLATOR: The Captain defended his role on the direction of the ship after the collision, which in the Captain's opinion saved hundreds, if not thousands of lives. From above, it looked peaceful today. But inside, in the darkness, bodies still float along flooded corridors. As we told you earlier, the ship has shifted again tonight, adding to concerns it's slowly slipping into deeper water. The ABC's Lama Hassan reports on the rescue divers risking their lives to look for survivors. As we made our way out on the choppy waters today toward the Costa Concordia, the first thing that caught our eye: unused lifeboats just dangling by the ship's side ` a stark symbol of the botched evacuation that led to this disaster. All day, divers here ` more than 100 of them ` combed the wreckage, moving room to room, blasting holes in the ship's hull,... EXPLOSION ...trying to find ways in to search and a way out. As the massive cruise liner shifts above them, the divers say they can hear the screeching of metal. One coastguard official told us today they are zeroing in on this part of the ship, where passengers were waiting to board lifeboats to get them to safety. The concern that it is slipping ever so slightly into much deeper water. And officials here tell us they've only got two to three more days before they've searched the entire ship. It may be a small player in the banking world, but today Kiwibank announced it's taken a much bigger slice of the Kiwisaver market. The state-owned bank has bought Wellington-based Gareth Morgan Investments and is assuring customers it's a safe move. Stephen Smith reports. It's the easy way to save for your future. More than 1.8 million NZers use Kiwisaver as their retirement nest egg. We see significant opportunities in the Kiwisaver market. Treasury figures from government suggest that the size of the market today is about 9 billion. We expect it to get to about 60 billion within 10 years' time. Today, Kiwibank's share of that market went from $50m to more than $700m after buying investment firm Gareth Morgan Investments. At the moment Kiwibank's Kiwisaver scheme is very small. This makes it the sixth biggest in the country. Including its Kiwisaver scheme, Gareth Morgan Investments manages $1.5b for investors. We just outgrew what, you know, I'm capable of controlling. For now, Kiwibank and Gareth Morgan Investments will operate as two separate, standalone companies. For those who do their everyday banking with Kiwibank, this deal doesn't change anything, but we asked Kiwibank whether its customers would be liable if Gareth Morgan Investments, for whatever reason, ran into financial strife. I'm not prepared to comment and speculate on those sorts of things and on failure, because I don't think that's a possibility at all. There's no risk for depositors here. These are quite separate operations, and the funds under management are quite separate. Just what Kiwibank paid for GMI was off limits today. We're talking, you know, less than tens of millions of dollars. We're not talking hundreds of millions of dollars or anything like that. Despite his big payday, Gareth Morgan will stay on with the company he founded to focus on its investment strategy. Stephen Smith, ONE News. Tonga's claiming NZ is demanding the return of a large sum of aid money it gave to the cash-strapped island nation. It comes after an independent auditor wasn't able to find around $300,0000 It comes after an independent auditor wasn't able to find around $300,000 which was reported missing last year. Here's Pacific correspondent Barbara Dreaver. NZ's relationship with the Pacific is a warm one, but its position has always been clear ` misuse of aid money will not be tolerated. We'll know within days whether it is sloppy bookkeeping or something worse. Obviously, if it is something worse, we will ask the relevant authorities to follow it up. A month later, the NZ Government announced an independent auditor had found no evidence of fraud. The missing aid money ` around $300,000 ` was due to poor bookkeeping, but according to Tonga's auditor general, the independent auditor didn't have access to all the information he needed, because of a lack of receipts. So his final report read... READS: 'Our audit was limited to the scope 'agreed within our contract for services, 'and therefore our review cannot be relied upon 'to detect every instance of fraud.' The independent report tracked down half of the missing money, which was spent by Tonga's former government on preparing the country for elections. The Auditor General claims NZ has told Tonga to pay back the other half. TRANSLATOR: Your minister has two faces. He has to face the NZ public, but he also has to face Tonga. In a statement, Foreign Affairs Minister Murray McCully says there's some Tongan internal politics at play here, and he says the money that's been returned to NZ is just unspent funding from the aid project. While the debate continues over the missing money, cash-strapped Tonga argues it needs all the aid it can get. Barbara Dreaver, ONE News. Fire investigators are looking into a massive blaze in Hawke's Bay which destroyed a Hastings fruit-packaging plant. The local fire service says the fire, at Hawk Packaging, was the largest seen in decades, with several families forced to evacuate. More than 80 firefighters and 20 trucks were deployed to battle flames threatening homes and businesses. Very nervous and scared. I didn't actually know whether I was going to come back the next morning and find the house still there. We are extremely lucky, especially here. It's like a little oasis, really, with flames going around the building, and yet we're pretty unscathed. Firefighters say the flames got to 35m in height. There have been three fires at Hawk Packaging in the last 12 months. 36 rare lions and tigers at Zion Wildlife Gardens are safe for now. A legal bid by receiver, PricewaterhouseCoopers, to have the cats put down or removed has been dropped. It's considering an offer to buy the Whangarei Park, but the offer does not include the animals. A hearing will be held in mid-February to determine their final ownership. Zion Wildlife Gardens was placed in liquidation last year. Just ahead ` can we go without Wikipedia for a whole day? Why one of the world's most visited sites has gone black. And from the big screen to big concerns ` why local film workers aren't impressed with Bollywood movies coming here. 1 It's one of the world's biggest websites, but try looking something up on wikipedia right now and you'll come to a grinding halt. The giant online encyclopaedia's shutting down for a day to protest draft US laws it says would 'devastate the free and open web'. Rebecca Edwards reports. When Wikipedia went black. The site's closed its giant vault of knowledge for 24 hours in a protest against proposed anti-piracy legislation in America. It is detrimental to the free and open web. It is detrimental to Wikipedia, and we want to make sure that we send a message, potentially getting rid of this bill. The 'stop online piracy' act, and the 'protect intellectual property' act have been designed to crack down on sales of pirated US products overseas. Supporters say it's a tool to fight illegal sharing of movies and music hosted on 'foreign websites'. These rogue sites are hurting American jobs, stealing American jobs, they're harming American consumers, and they have no business being on the internet. But critics say it could hurt the technology industry and infringe freedom of speech. And the backlash against the bill is spreading to other social media sites. This is a really big deal, and this is something we're gonna fight, and this is something we think threatens the entire tech sector. With an estimated 25 million visitors every day, the blackout protest is taking Wikipedia to lengths the site has never been to before. The big guys ` Google, Twitter, Yahoo ` all of them who are hosting websites, they are really concerned, because they feel like this is going to impact, negatively impact their business and negatively impact freedom of speech and free use online. A 21st century protest that's sure to simmer on well into the future. Rebecca Edwards, ONE News. There are signs Australia's taking a tougher line on Kiwis who commit crimes over there. For the second time this month, a NZer has been ordered back to NZ. But as Australia correspondent Steve Marshall reports, the latest isn't going without a fight. Joseph Williams ` expat Nzer, currently in police custody and soon to be kicked out of Australia. He's... He's deported. One of Williams' 10 children, clearly angry with the decision to deport his dad. What's it to you? Williams' list of convictions includes armed robbery, arson, theft and assaulting police. They say I'm a threat to the Australian community. I'm not a threat to the Australian community. Last year the 36-year-old successfully appealed a deportation order, claiming his former gang, the Mongrel Mob, would kill him if he was forced to return to NZ. I believe if somebody has changed, give them a chance, give them a shot. Australia's immigration minister doesn't agree. He's used his special ministerial powers to overturn the decision, cancelling Williams' visa, saying... It's the second time this month the Immigration Minister has overturned a decision by the Administrative Appeals Tribunal and ordered a NZer to be deported. The Free Syria Army is claiming a key victory against a regime accused of killing thousands of civilians. After fierce resistance by insurgents, government forces have agreed to a ceasefire in the town of Zabadani, a rebel stronghold. But elsewhere, violence against a popular uprising continues. This video shows tanks in the city of Homs and the aftermath of an attack on an ambulance. In just a few days, the Arab League will decide whether to continue its peace mission to stop the violence or admit failure and pull out. Less than a week after the second anniversary of Haiti's devastating earthquake, the disaster has claimed more lives. A truck loaded with rubble from the quake has crashed, killing at least 26 people and injuring 67 others. It's thought the driver lost control of the vehicle in a hilly part of the impoverished capital, Port-au-Prince. Three Sea Shepherd activists have been hurt during clashes with Japanese whalers as the conflict in the Southern Ocean intensifies. Video released by the whalers shows them firing a water cannon at crew on board the ship Steve Irwin, who throw objects back. The activists say they were attacked with grappling hooks and a bamboo pole. The Japanese whalers say the protesters tried to cut ropes and tangle propellers The filming of an Indian movie in NZ was supposed to complement a new era of friendship and trade. But local crews are now raising concerns over how Bollywood movie Players is being produced. Entertainment reporter Joanna Hunkin has more. Players movie. Scene seven; shot one; take one. Action. John Key was all smiles in India last year, announcing tax breaks for Bollywood films coming to NZ. But back home, local crews were far from happy after working on this Indian film shot in Wellington and Auckland. It took months for all invoices to be paid. There was damage to some locations. They worked 30-something` 32 days on the trot. Making it easier isn't necessarily the best approach. What we need to do is find a way of getting the two industries to work together, because we do work` you know, they have quite a different way of working from us. ONE News spoke with local businesses that were also unhappy with the production, which they say flouted NZ laws and had little regard for health and safety restrictions, putting the whole industry at risk. There is the danger when you mess with a location that you m` nobody can go back there. Not just that crew, but perhaps nobody. Film NZ pushed to get Players made here, but says it's not its job to enforce regulations. Now Kiwi crews are concerned about future productions when a law change set to loosen immigration restrictions for foreign actors and film workers takes effect in March. Through that immigration process, there was a contact between the industry and people coming in. So we could negotiate things. Losing any point of contact leaves it wide open. We have no way of knowing who's coming or going. Or what they're doing while they're here. Joanna Hunkin, ONE News. Just ahead ` close, but no cigar for our number-one hope at the Aussie Open. And Rafael Nadal shows us why he's world number two. # I see things clearer now. # OPSM'S advanced lens technology is here. Finally, you can enjoy prescription sunglasses in almost any style. Kiwi tennis number one Marina Erakovic has fallen agonisingly short of a second-round win at the Australian tennis open. As Martin Tasker reports, she was in a commanding position before the wheels fell off. The Kiwi number one may have been playing on Aussie soil, but her support suggested this was home turf. CHEERING Erakovic responded with an early break against American Christina McHale (19). That's better. A strong backhand helped the Kiwi maintain her momentum, speeding to 5-1 up. That is brilliant from the Kiwi. Then an over-exuberant unforced error allowed the American back in. Out! Erakovic was then fighting back herself to regain the advantage, with this winner teeing up set point. Great forehands. The Kiwi duly converted, to the delight of her fans. CHEERING Well, she made hard work of it, but she's got the first set, has Marina Erakovic. Turning the match on its head, McHale began taking control of the second set. Clean winner this time from the American. Erakovic (23) had to dig deep, battling back through gutsy displays like this 18-shot rally to get on even terms again. Well, eventually she won the point. The eventual tie-break, though, ended limply for the Kiwi after a 78-minute second set. Out! So we are going to a third set. McHale now in the driving seat. Oh, that is brilliant tennis. Erakovic battled bravely,... And we know she's a fighter. ...but unable to stem the American tide. Oh, it's all over for the Kiwi. A gallant effort. Martin Tasker, ONE News. But it's far from over for world tennis number two Rafael Nadal, who's through to the next round. German veteran Tommy Haas bringing out the Spaniard's very best. The ABC's Nick Bailey rounds up today's action in Melbourne. It was looming as a tough day at the office for Rafael Nadal against three-time semi-finalist Tommy Haas. And though the Spaniard ran away to an early 4-0 lead, it didn't take long for the German to fight back and show why he was once the 2nd-highest-ranked player in the world. Oh, what a shot! Try as he might, though, the oldest man in the men's field couldn't ever quite get the better of the 2009 champion. Every break was broken back; every winner matched with two in reply. The veteran's brave resistance ended after three entertaining sets, as Nadal moved on to the round of 32. And he's just missed it, so Nadal prevails. It was a high-quality match. Fantastic player, you know. He had a lot of injuries in the last couple of years, but it's always great to see Tommy here. It was by far the most entertaining spectacle on Rod Laver Arena today. Defending champion Kim Clijsters is so comfortable on the court these days, she not only wrapped up her match in 47 minutes, she recruited the crowd to wish her sister a happy birthday. # Happy birthday to you. # Thank you very much! World number one Caroline Wozniacki worked much harder for her place in the third round. Surviving set points and an injury scare to eventually overcome Georgian Anna Tatishvili. It's all over. A great contest in this second set. There were some upsets. Former French Open champion and 10th seed Francesca Schiavone was sent packing in straight sets, as was men's eighth seed, Marty Fish. Now to the weather. The high moving east allows the frontal activity in the south Tasman Sea to move on to the far south of the country around lunchtime tomorrow.
