A reeking, dangerous mass of steel and teetering containers ` tough days ahead for Rena's salvors. And an online protest against anti-piracy laws spills out of cyberspace into the streets. Search and rescue operations have just resumed at Italy's shipwrecked cruise ship, after being delayed by rough seas. Teams have been told they have a day at most to find more than 20 people still missing in the capsized vessel. Meanwhile, anger's growing at the captain, who's accused of abandoning thousands of passengers trying to flee the ship. He now says he tripped and fell into a lifeboat. The ABC's Philip Williams has the latest. Hope remains, but only just. With everything above the waterline now searched, it's down to the divers. Could people have survived in an air pocket? It's dangerous work, with flooded corridors, cabins obstructed and vision obscured. TRANSLATOR: At one point, the glass door of a shop was above me, with the contents inside all pressing down. It could have shattered at any moment. And all the while, the relatives of the missing wait for news ` good or bad. Kevin Rebello has come from India, hoping his brother Russell ` who was a waiter on the ship ` may somehow still be alive. It's the fifth day, so it's also a logical question that people have been making, you know. It's an assumption that, OK, five days, but there have been miracles around. People have come home after many days. The frustration and anger has focused on Captain Schettino. He's under house arrest. Here, his wife is mobbed by the media. He's reported as saying he fell into a life boat by accident and didn't intentionally abandon ship ahead of his passengers. That's infuriated the relatives of the people missing. TRANSLATOR: It's outrageous they have him under house arrest. It's like he's a free man. And the search is taking too long. And even before everyone has been recovered, another important operation will begin ` to pump out the oil before it spills into this marine reserve. If we, uh, consider, 2400 tonnes of fuel, the... the damages could be terrible. From a satellite photo the stricken liner looks surreal. Still to give up its human cargo, its oil and the secrets of exactly what went wrong. Meanwhile, new satellite tracking information shows the Costa Concordia sailed even closer to the island last August. Last Friday's route is illustrated by the red line. The yellow circle is where the liner hit the rocks. But the blue line shows last August's route, when it reportedly passed within 230 metres of land. Crucially, the ship's owners, Costa Crociere, authorised that manoeuvre. Dangerous shards of steel, the threat of falling containers, and a sickening stench ` just some of the challenges Rena's salvors are facing. Now, 12 days after the stricken cargo ship tore in two, Kim Vinnell's been given a first-hand look at the wreckage. This is the closest we've been to the Rena since she tore in two ` thousands of tons of twisted steel protruding from the water, containers still precariously perched. And now those that can't be reached by crane are simply being pushed off. Two empty containers have been released, and what they've done is let them go, But it's a controlled release, and they pick them up from there and put them into one of their barges. Decomposing food and cowhides are producing a pungent smell that's lingering for kilometres. They're certainly monitored all the time. They've got chemists on board; they've got gas detectors, and they're monitored. And that's purely for the safety of the salvors and anyone on board the vessel. Comfort-wise, yeah, it's not pleasant at all. 10 containers have been lifted off Rena since she split, but more than 500 remain unaccounted for. Despite the progress that's been made taking containers off the front section of the Rena, divers are still working to ascertain exactly where containers from the back section have fallen. It's possible some of those could still be on the ship's sunken stern, and authorities are now considering remote-controlled submarines to assess the seabed. The reason being that the containers that have landed on 50m lines and above that ` that's OK. Anything underneath that, the divers can't get to. So what they're looking at is bringing in the, um... in these` these remote-operated vehicles. Maritime NZ, meanwhile, is estimating a much smaller amount of oil on board,... We're probably now in anticipation of tens of tons, rather than 100 tons plus. ...but are still wary about putting a definite figure on how long it may take to get the Rena off the reef. We're certainly not looking at months, I don't think, no. I wouldn't say months. I'd say longer than that, yeah. Authorities well aware plans can change in an instant when the weather is in charge. A boy is missing tonight after being swept out to sea by a rip at a West Auckland beach at about 2.30 this afternoon. Emergency services searched for the boy north of Bethells Beach until it got dark. Searches will resume at first light tomorrow. Many Southland residents were shaken tonight by a 5.8 earthquake south of Stewart Island just before 8 o'clock. The quake was centred 180km south-west of Tuatapere at a depth of 12km. There have been no reports of injuries or major damage. They're Christchurch's forgotten residents. Since the earthquake, some elderly people haven't had a visitor in six months. Now the Red Cross is shifting some of its focus to the plight of those either not seeking support or being overlooked. Joy Reid went out with a Red Cross team today. (KNOCKS AT DOOR) Hello. Mrs Ward? Steven from the Red Cross. We've come to see how you are. This is one of hundreds of visits the Red Cross is making around Christchurch these days. So, how have you been? I'm not too bad. Visits that are important for people like Violet Ward, who might need food parcels, doctors' appointments arranged or some simple human contact. There's a lot a lot worse off than me. But Red Cross says that sort of stoic spirit worries them ` that elderly people don't feel they should ask for help. I seen one guy ` six months not seeing anyone. He was almost in tears. Very lonely and says all he wants to do is die. So it's people like that, we need to get out and find them. Without visitors, you do get a bit depressed. People going past the fence would think I'm mad sometimes. You talk to the plants. Red Cross has been developing its Christchurch earthquake aid and recovery programme as it goes along. Every country, every disaster is different. You can't just take a programme from one country and plonk it into another. We really need to listen to what people need. So, to do that, it's about to recruit more volunteers to door-knock city homes and find those in need. For many, though, what they need is company and a good laugh. Joy Reid, ONE News. Friends and family braved blustery conditions in Wellington to farewell a local identity. Well-known vagrant Ben Hana, better known as Blanket Man, died on Sunday. But as Rebecca Edwards reports, some are angry people are only rallying to him in death. More than 100 mourners came to pay their respects to a man some say was a Wellington icon. He made people think. And that's what I think was his gift ` that he made not just ordinary me and you, but I'm talking about the people that sit in the bee's nest ` you know, made them people think. 54-year-old vagrant Ben Hana became known as Blanket Man after spending years on Wellington's streets. He died in hospital on Sunday after years of heavy alcohol use and malnutrition. Really sad. He was an icon not for just Wellington, but for all of NZ, and he's clearly missed by everyone. Online, people were paying their respects. This Facebook page, liked by over 27,000 people, filled with kind comments. And tributes have been continuing to arrive at one of his most common spots on Courtenay Place. You go to India, you see certain people; you go to London, you see certain people, and he was a Wellington person. I think he was part of the attraction of coming to Wellington. He was certainly a noticeable presence. But some are questioning why it's taken his death for people to start rallying around him. Now they all gonna try and help now, you know? What's that all about? Does it take a man to die? Ben Hana was buried at Makara Cemetery in Wellington following today's service. Rebecca Edwards, ONE News. Just ahead ` why plans to build a huge wind farm in the South Island have fallen flat. Claims many young KiwiSavers could end up thousands of dollars out of pocket by the time they retire. And why this waka might be left high and dry for the Queen's diamond jubilee celebrations. 1 Meridian Energy has today withdrawn plans to build the biggest wind farm in the Southern Hemisphere. Resource consents for the $2b Project Hayes on Central Otago's Lammermoor Range faced strong environmental opposition from the outset. We have two consented projects ` Central Wind, in the central North Island, and Mill Creek down here in Wellington ` that are in the advanced stages, and we believe they offer a relatively better financial return. Meridian says today's withdrawal is disappointing, but it is the right commercial decision to make. The government's being accused of 'short-changing' thousands of NZers saving for their retirement. One bank says the default schemes in many KiwiSaver plans aren't helping investors make the most of their portfolio. Stephen Smith reports. It's the easy way to save for your future. It's the way 1.8 million of us save. I think it has its shortcomings, but, yeah, I think it's a good idea. Well, I'm happy with it. If you start when you're 18, um, it'd be fantastic. But under current KiwiSaver laws, ANZ says many young Kiwis could be thousands of dollars short by the time they retire. It impacts around about 200,000 investors, with potential shortfalls in the vicinity of $72,000 for those investors upon retirement. Currently, you're automatically enrolled with one of six default KiwiSaver providers if you don't make a specific choice. By law, those default providers, of which ANZ is one, have to put investors' money into conservative low-risk, low-return investments, unless you request otherwise. ANZ says default KiwiSaver funds should be invested based on age ` riskier, high-growth investments for younger people, becoming more conservative as they near retirement. Yeah, the fees are slightly higher, but the returns are higher. Savings Working Group member and author of three KiwiSaver books, Mary Holm, supports the idea, but says riskier investments might scare young people from KiwiSaver. There are going to be some years when the balance is going to go down a lot. I'm not saying it might ` I'm saying it will. A lot of people might panic at that and perhaps stop contributing to KiwiSaver altogether. The revenue minister says it's worth considering what ANZ is recommending. We still have a problem with people who are just prepared to coast along or take a very cautious approach, and I think that's what ANZ is rightly drawing attention to. The government's reviewing KiwiSaver and should have that completed in 2014. Stephen Smith, ONE News. The biggest online protest in history has spilled out of cyberspace and on to the streets of New York. About 1000 people demonstrated against draft anti-piracy laws they say would start a new era of internet censorship. If passed, they would allow courts to block websites containing unauthorised copyright material. I think it sends the wrong signal to give the government the ability to shut down websites. The web should be a free medium that promotes democracy around the world. When America's trying to convince China and Iran that they shouldn't be shutting down their web, we shouldn't be setting a bad example. It came as hundreds of websites, including Wikipedia, blacked out their pages in protest against the proposed laws. The protests appear to be working. Eight US lawmakers have today withdrawn their backing for the bills. So why's this issue grown so big, what's at stake and just how easy is it to access copyrighted material? The ABC's David Wright went on a mission to find out. Today on Google, that familiar name was blacked out. On Wikipedia, this is what popped up. Thousands of websites, from Craigslist to Wired, took part in the first ever digital strike ` a one-day protest against bills aimed at stopping online piracy. The tech community has finally woken up and realised, you know, what a big problem these laws could cause. It's become a massive fight between Silicon Valley and the Hollywood studios. Hollywood studios ` like our parent company, Disney ` want to make it harder for people to access copyrighted material online. People are stealing. Offshore criminals are stealing American jobs and content. Internet companies say the proposed new laws go about it the wrong way. This is a giant game of whack-a-mole. The technology will always move faster than the law, and if people really want their content illegally that badly, they will find a way. So, how easy is it to find copyrighted movies and other content online? We're gonna turn to an expert ` Sacha McCallicot (15). You're in ninth grade? Mm-hm. And we're gonna set you a task. Can you find Mission: Impossible? The one that's in movie theatres now. We're gonna run the clock. It took him less than 30 seconds to find dozens of offshore sites. This one's Swedish. This one's Dutch. Finding a way to stop that that will please everyone... may well be mission: impossible. After being part of royal anniversaries for nearly 35 years, Maori in London face being left out of the Queen's diamond jubilee. Organisers say they can't paddle their waka on the Thames this year because, with more than 1000 vessels on the water, it'll be too dangerous. Europe correspondent Garth Bray reports. This is the vision they hope to display on the Thames for the Diamond Jubilee Pageant. A crowd of a million ` a far greater television audience ` all watching a thousand vessels in procession from right around the Commonwealth. Hopes are high that among them will be this most recognisable symbol of South Pacific seafaring prowess. This waka crew plied the Thames just last year to great acclaim. As NZers over here, we would be so proud. Esther Jessop is a guiding light in Ngati Ranana. She tells me London's Maori culture group has been involved in royal anniversaries since 1977, when they caught Prince Philip's eye. As they came around the corner, we were in full song. and the Duke of Edinburgh stopped, and he just couldn't believe it. And the Queen stopped. And he came over, and he said, 'What's a bunch of Maoris doing 12,000 miles from home?' (LAUGHS) But organisers of this royal event released the first official list of vessels today, and so far, it seems, no waka. You could almost call it peaceful here on the Thames right now, but on the 3rd of June, it'll be a different story. So my sources tell me there are some rather delicate negotiations underway as to whether it's safe enough for a waka and full crew to be out there paddling to help celebrate the Queen's diamond jubilee. The paddlers have no such fears. I've spoken with a member of the Toi Maori group, who told me they wore life preservers and took a member of the London Port Authority along for the ride, and he was more than happy with the waka's handling. And of course pageant planners already expect plenty of other paddlers will included. If the dragon boats are there, why can't a waka be there? So this waka ` Te Hono ki Aotearoa ` the link to our land ` now lies ready and waiting in the grounds of a Dutch museum. If only someone can convince the organisers it deserves its place on the Thames for that special day. Garth Bray, ONE News, London. There will be a NZ presence on the Thames, though. Blenheim boatie Ron Perano has been given the privilege with his replica whaling boat Swiftsure. The boat will be crewed by six Marlborough Boys College rowers. And the atmosphere of millions on the... on the banks watching you, I think, will be amazing. The boys have been practising on the peaceful Wairau River ahead of the biggest event on the Thames in three and a half centuries. Just ahead, what a racket ` a disgruntled player courts controversy at the Australian Open. And basher Brendon rockets to a T20 century in just 49 balls. It was another predictable day at Australia's Tennis Open ` most of the top seeds advanced in straight sets. But the contest in Melbourne was coloured with controversy, with some ugly outbursts livening up the action. The ABC's Nick Bailey has the highlights. James Duckworth had loomed as little more than a speed bump on Janko Tipsarevic's road to the third round. But the Sydneysider soon proved that wasn't the case and duly won the first set. In a match which delighted a frenzied and full Margaret Court Arena, the pair battled for over three hours. But the Serb's vast experience saw him take the second set, then claim a crucial third-set tiebreak before battling through to a gritty four-set victory. And does it with an ace. Elsewhere, it was, by and large, another set of training drills for the top seeds. Maria Sharapova, Serena Williams... APPLAUSE ...and men's top seed Novak Djokovic all advanced without any difficulty. The exceptions where Petra Kvitova, who was tested every step of the way in her three-set win over Carla Suarez Navarro; and fifth seed David Ferrer, who needed five sets to pacify American Ryan Sweeting. Last night, it wasn't just the results attracting attention. Two well-known figures at Melbourne Park had off nights, not only losing their matches, but their cool,... Can you be that stupid to do that in that moment? A lot of crowd noise. > (SCOFFS) I mean,... what do the umpires need? Press? Name? Their picture tomorrow? ...though David Nalbandian's argument with a chair umpire had nothing on Marcos Baghdatis' racket abuse, or rather, abuses. The Cypriot punished four rackets. CROWD CHEERS Extraordinary. There was a definite eye-catching moment on court for local fans, as Bernard Tomic booked his place in the third round for the second straight year, coming from a set down to eliminate American Sam Querrey. And the excessive shrieking and grunting heard in many women's tennis matches is finally being addressed. (GRUNTS LOUDLY) It's not only off-putting for some players, but the younger generation's picking it up to. (GRUNTS) (GRUNTS) (GRUNTS) Sometimes it can be very distracting. It feels like they're just doing it on purpose just to get you annoyed. After a chorus of complaints from fans and players, the Women's Tennis Association says it's looking at the issue in March. It doesn't get more exciting than this. Brendon McCullum's scored the fastest century in NZ Twenty20 history ` just 49 balls. It's helped the Otago Volts win the last round robin match of the Twenty20 season against the Northern Knights in Hamilton. Brilliant, Brendon McCullum. A responsible... CHEERING, APPLAUSE ...and a brilliant and mature innings. Take a bow, Brendon McCullum. That is a terrific display of batsmanship ` T20... Superb innings. The win pushes the Volts to third on the table. Auckland and Canterbury play the final on Sunday. And a three-game winning streak has the Skycity Breakers firmly in control at the top of the ANBL ladder. They were too strong for the Melbourne Tigers, who lost their fourth match in a row. The Breakers went into half-time 43-33 up, despite a closely matched contest, but they took it away in the second. Final score: 91-77. Now to the weather. A somewhat keen north-west flow precedes the front which swept over southern parts of the country today. This is expected to weaken as it migrates further north. Meanwhile, over the north, the high hangs on. Expect another weak feature to clip the south-east tomorrow afternoon. For weather, see tvnz.co.nz That's it from us here on Tonight.
