but people on the west and south of the south might need to dig out the umbrella. 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. This is ONE News with Greg Boyed and Miriama Kamo. Tonight ` he could face a long sentence ` the 16-year-old who raped a 5-year-old in Turangi pleads guilty and will be sentenced as an adult. One of Hastings' biggest fires in living memory has locals running for their lives. Hear what the captain accused of abandoning his ship had to say as passengers scrambled for their lives. Two sticks of butter. Butter. Butter. Butter. ...of sugar. Heavy cream. And has America's queen of comfort food been hiding an alarming secret? There's relief in Turangi that the 16-year-old who attacked and raped a tourist (5) at a campground will now be sentenced in an adult court. The boy pleaded guilty to all charges when he appeared in the Taupo Youth Court. The judge said the attack, which happened just before Christmas, was too serious for sentencing in the youth court. 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? 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 girl... 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. Kimberley Vinnell, ONE News. Legal opinion sought by ONE News suggests the boy could face up to 12 or 14 years in prison. However, the sentencing judge is likely to take into consideration his age and his early guilty pleas. Several Hawke's Bay families were forced to evacuate their homes last night as a huge fire destroyed a Hastings fruit packaging plant. The local fire service says the blaze was the largest it has seen in decades. Catherine Wedd was there. Within a few hours, this fruit packaging plant was a towering inferno. The heat was so intense it could be felt hundreds of metres away and the blaze so bright it could be seen from Napier. I was halfway down this street over here, and you could feel the heat radiating on you from there. The flames threatened homes and businesses. Several families had to be evacuated. 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. Hawke's Bay firefighters were stretched to the limit. More than 80 were deployed, along with 20 trucks, from as far afield as Palmerston North. They battled throughout the night. Two of them suffered heat exhaustion, and one needed to be taken to hospital. It's certainly the biggest fire I have attended since I have been in the NZ Fire Service in Hawke's Bay. It was very intense. The flames were of considerable height ` 35m in height. There've been three fires at Hawk Packaging in the last 12 months. The Fire Service says it sent the company a letter because of concerns about the amount of material being stored at the plant. But Hawk Packaging's owner denies receiving a letter and does not believe his company was doing anything wrong. The flames are out here, but the smoke is still very intense, and the Fire Service says it could be days before all these hot spots are fully dampened down and it will be months for a full investigation to be completed. Hawk Packaging says it'll start again at a bigger facility as soon as possible. But it may take some months for this mess to be cleaned up. Catherine Wedd, ONE News. An astonishing audio tape has emerged of a tense conversation between the Italian coastguard and the captain of a grounded cruise liner. The official is heard pleading with Captain Francesco Schettino to return to his ship after it hit rocks off the coast of Tuscany. At least 11 people have died in the disaster. Rescue crews have been using explosives to break into the ship as they continue searching for 24 people still missing. The captain's now under house arrest after appearing in court on suspicion of multiple manslaughter. And as the ABC's Chris Cuomo reports, his recorded comments are giving new insight into what happened. SCREAMING Today we learned more about why chaos overtook the decks of the Costa Concordia. The startling audio tape of the conversation between the Italian coastguard and Captain Francesco Schettino reveals the captain sitting safely on a rescue boat while the rest of the doomed ship's crew and passengers were struggling to escape. MAN SPEAKS ITALIAN Schettino, the veteran captain, always popular among passengers, is seen here being cheered in happier times. Now with his ship going down, he has no good answers. The official tells Schettino just how serious the situation has become. The captain's final explanation seems unlikely. But the captain never returned on board the vessel where he was desperately needed. In an airport hotel in Rome, surviving crew members told me the captain was eating dinner when the ship ran aground. PA: I speak on behalf of the captain... But as seen in this video,... ...electrical failure. One of the first announcements described the problem as an electrical failure. By the time the evacuation order came, the captain was long gone. There's no evidence so far of any oil spilling into the sea, and efforts to begin removing the ship's fuel will begin tomorrow. Kiwibank may be small compared to the Australian banks that dominate our financial landscape, but now it's making a play for a bigger share of the market. It's bought high-profile economist Gareth Morgan's investment company and Kiwisaver scheme for an undisclosed sum. Renee Graham reports. Engineer Petrus Stet has been putting funds into the Gareth Morgan Kiwisaver scheme for three years. He's passionate about his job, and I wouldn't trust anybody else, really. But Mr Morgan's just sold his investment company, including its Kiwisaver and superannuation schemes, to state-owned Kiwibank. We just outgrew what I'm capable of controlling. Kiwibank won't reveal how much they paid for Gareth Morgan Investments, but the rapidly growing company controls around $1.5b worth of investor funds. We intend to grow that business, and effectively what it will become is our wealth-management division. Kiwibank says Gareth Morgan Investments will be run as a stand-alone entity within its wealth and investment wing. Now, all those companies come under the umbrella of NZ Post, which is Kiwibank's state-owned parent company. They're still working through who would be liable if there's any financial failure. I don't think that's a possibility at all. I think we've got to talk here about the positive nature of what's actually going one. We are two strong companies. There is no risk that the government suddenly is responsible for this money. They are essentially taking of the role of managing that money, not necessarily owning it or controlling it. Kiwibank says the deal changes nothing for its customers. But for some investors, the fund's appeal is very much based on the founder's reputation. The past few years have told us that not all banks are as good at doing Gareth Morgan. From here on, I stay with the firm. I focus in on the investment strategy team, which is my core area. Kiwibank says it's still deciding whether it'll change the branding of its newly acquired investment firm. Renee Graham, ONE News. The future of 36 rare lions and tigers at Zion Wildlife Gardens remains uncertain, but they 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. The Christchurch City Council says it relied on expert advice back in the 1980s when it forced a design change to the Hotel Grand Chancellor. Engineers testifying at the commission of inquiry into the Canterbury earthquakes say the change meant the building was never strong enough to withstand big quakes. Tom McRae is covering the inquiry. Our most difficult, expensive and longest demolition is well underway. Experts say it's all due to the failure of one wall. Experts say the Christchurch City Council forced a design change to the wall back in the 1980s to allow for a right of way which ran under part of the hotel. Today the council was defending that decision. The council relied on design certificates provided by the engineers. The council would expect any rigorous or in-depth analysis required to be carried out by the engineers before giving any design certificates. An international expert believes the redesign and use of a narrow wall was done for aesthetics. It was in the lobby, and the architect didn't want a big thing in the lobby. Unfortunately, we work for architects, and we sometimes do things we shouldn't do. There are concerns the wall also caused several stairwells to collapse, although the building remained in tact long enough for everyone to get out safely, even though it withstood serious shaking in earlier earthquakes. I observed some damage to sheet joints and linings, but not extensive enough to say structure was compromised. And so the hotel was green-stickered and allowed to continue operating. When the February quake hit, it was full, with dozens of guests stuck on the upper levels. There were approximately 30 of them that got down to level 15 of the building. From there they climbed out the window on to the conference roof and were craned down. Remarkably, no one was injured in the building. Tom McRae, ONE News. The Department of Conservation has decided not to fine a group of prison inmates caught collecting shellfish from a marine reserve. The group of six inmates from Hawke's Bay prison and two supervisors were on a rehabilitation course when they were confronted about collecting paua from the Te Angiangi Marine Reserve. The paua was returned to the sea, and the Conservation Department's satisfied the incident was a genuine mistake. Police are investigating the death of a woman (18) who drowned after being sucked into an irrigation intake in North Canterbury. The woman was swimming with friends near Intake Rd, just south of the Waimakariri River. Paramedics attempted to resuscitate her, but she died at the scene. Tonga claims it's been asked to return a large amount of NZ aid money after an independent auditor was unable to track it down. Around $300,000 of aid was reported missing last year. Pacific correspondent Barbara Dreaver explains. 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. The Prime Minister hailed it as the start of a beautiful friendship that would pave the way for other bollywood productions to be filmed in NZ. But as the indian movie Players opens here, local crews are raising concerns about the visitors' work practices. 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 who 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. Coming up on ONE News ` Australia takes a hard line against trouble-making Kiwis. We're outside court as one career criminal fights to stay in the country. It's more used to rain; now Seattle is scrambling to prepare for a record-breaking deep freeze. And America's queen of comfort food leaves a sour taste after confessing her Southern style has made her sick. Questions are being raised about the political neutrality of NZ On Air after Labour accused National of interfering with the public broadcasting agency. The accusations revolve around a child poverty documentary funded by NZ On Air which screened just days before the election. Political reporter Michael Parkin has the details. It's no accident that Inside Child Poverty starts its investigation in east Porirua, not to far from the Beehive. And four days out from November's election ` with political interest at its peak ` was the perfect time for TV3 to screen the topical documentary. But Labour says NZ On Air's decision to seek legal advice on how it might influence the scheduling of such programmes in the future is deliberate political interference by National. What concerns me is that they want to shut down public discussion and that there appears to be moves to use an agency to do that. Concerns about the airing of the hard-hitting documentary so close to polling day were raised by this man, Stephen McElrea, a NZ On Air board member. He's also John Key's Helensville electorate chairman. Neither he nor anyone else from NZ On Air or the government would talk to ONE News today. Personally I don't believe the NZ public would expect or want to see their funding put into a politically charged scenario. NZ On Air complained to TV3 about the scheduling, but says it didn't try to change it, but feels it needs legal advice for any future issues. If you get burned once like that, that you look around to see what can be done to avoid the situation coming up again. Would we see Q+A being taken off air during an election campaign? Would Radio NZ be restricted in what it can and can't do? That's just wrong. NZ On Air admits it would be hard to come up with rules to define a political documentary and hopes a more informal agreement can be reached. Michael Parkin, ONE News.

Australia is taking a hard line against Kiwis who commit crimes there, vowing to deport them back to NZ. For the second time this month, the minister has ordered a NZer home, but this convicted criminal is not going without a fight. Australia correspondent Steve Marshall is live in Sydney with the latest. Steve. JOSEPH WILLIAMS ARRIVED IN AUSTRALIA 6 YEARS AGO Joseph Williams ` expat NZer currently in police custody and soon to be kicked out of Australia. 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, then 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 MINISTER'S FINAL SAY ON WHO STAYS AND GOES IS BASED ON A CHARACTER TEST THE ACT SAYS A PERSON MAY FAIL FOR A SUBSTANTIAL CRIMINAL RECORD THIS MAN HAS CLEARLY FAILED THE TEST THE MINISTER IS TAKING ZERO TOLERANCE ON FOREIGNERS COMMITTING CRIMES Thanks, Steve Marshall in Sydney. Officials in Indonesia have come up with a novel way to stop people illegally riding on the top of trains. The new tactic involves suspending rows of grapefruit-sized concrete balls above the trains as they leave their stations. Trains are usually severely overcrowded at rush hour, which forces many commuters to take to the roofs. A dozen large bombs dating back to the World War II have been destroyed by controlled explosion in the Galapagos Islands. BOOM! It's believed the bombs were buried when American forces abandoned a base on the island after the war. Local fisherman found the bombs two years ago, and authorities decided it was better to destroy them up rather than store them in a warehouse. Torrential rains have caused severe flooding in Peru and triggered devastating landslides. Most of the flooding is due to the overflow of a river stemming from the Amazon which has swept across farmland and damaged houses. Major landslides have also ruined infrastructure, with Peru's civil defence agency yet to reach some of the worst-affected areas. Seattle and much of America's Pacific north-west is bracing itself tonight for a winter storm predicted to break decades of records. In a city better known for its rainfall, authorities are scrambling to gather enough resources to cope with the forecast onslaught. The ABC's Neal Karlinsky sent this report from Seattle. When it comes to snow in the Pacific north-west, it doesn't take much to cause chaos. And they're now bracing for an entire year's worth of winter in just one day. In the past few days, just a few inches have sent cars spinning. I've been driving a truck for 16 years, and this is the first time I've ever spun out. It's slick, very slick. Which is why Seattle is on high alert for a full-scale disaster. Tomorrow could see a foot of snow or more ` twice as much in just a few hours as the city normally gets in an entire year. At Seattle's Emergency Operation Centre today, the man in charge didn't mince words. Yeah, it can be very challenging for us tomorrow. Can we deliver critical services is one of the big objectives we have. The city has a history of grinding to a halt with even a touch of extreme cold. SIREN WAILS A rare ice storm in 2010 left me stuck in my car for six hours with my mother and young daughter. And I need to go to the bathroom. The problem is lots of hills and no way to keep them clear. CRASH No! Seattle has only a tiny fleet of about 20 salt trucks and far too many roads and bridges for them to keep up with. That is why a region-wide winter storm warning could have a paralysing effect. This does have the potential to shut things down for even beyond one day, maybe two days. Schools are closing, salt trucks are staging ` all getting ready for an avalanche of winter in just one afternoon. And Seattle isn't the only place expecting snowy weather. The severe weather system is also expected to affect parts of Washington and north-western California. Renee's here now with the day's weather highlights. Hi, everyone. For weather, see tvnz.co.nz So, that's how we're looking in the main centres this evening. I'll have Thursday's forecast for you after sport. Up next on ONE News ` a warning tonight to alternative health providers ` stop claiming you can cure what you can't. A tearful confession from a Southern-style cook renowned for shovelling on the sugar and cream. And Scott Base celebrates Robert Falcon Scott's failed mission to the pole with a very special guest. 1 10 days after the cargo ship Rena broke apart, the removal of containers from the ship has resumed. Weather conditions at the wreck were relatively calm today, allowing the container barge to get alongside the ship's bow. Clean-up teams were also out along the Bay of Plenty coast and on nearby islands cleaning up more debris. 500 containers are still unaccounted for, although the spill response team says many of those could still be inside the wreck. Alternative health providers are being warned to review their advertising after some said they could cure allergies. The Commerce Commission has received a number of complaints regarding health providers assertions they can diagnose and cure allergies using alternative medicine. Allergies, and in particular food allergies, can't be cured, Allergies, and in particular food allergies, can't be cured, and we are very concerned that people who think they have an allergy to food and are then told they are free from it could be at risk in their health. If the providers ignore the warning, the Commerce Commission says it will take action under the Fair Trading Act. An American celebrity chef famous for her passion for fatty foods is in trouble tonight after claims she tried to cover up a serious health problem. Paula Deen has tearfully admitted she suffers from type II diabetes ` a disease that can be brought on by a high-sugar, high-fat diet. The ABC's Josh Elliott reports. She's the self-proclaimed queen of Southern cuisine. Foods that tantalise by so often relying upon generous portions of added fats and sugars. I've got two sticks of butter. Butter. Butter. ...of sugar. ...of heavy cream. But all that delicious, if debilitating, food may have finally caught up with Paula Deen. Oh, look at that. Today during a taping of ABC's The Chew, she confirmed that she was diagnosed with type II diabetes three years ago. You know, diabetes is not a death sentence. It is not a death sentence. You have to make changes in your life... Deen has been criticised for waiting so long to reveal her condition. One of her chief critics is fellow celebrity chef Anthony Bourdain, who once called Deen... Bourdain said in an interview posted Monday... Deen says that she waited because she wanted to have a better understanding of the disease. But critics have suggested that Deen only went public after being paid by a drug company to promote its diabetes medication. When my life is over and you hear my name, I hope you associate the word 'hope' with it. She says she sees her diagnosis as an opportunity to help educate the 26 million Americans who also struggle with diabetes. Over 200,000 NZers have diabetes, while one-third of cases of type II diabetes go undiagnosed. This day a century ago, explorer Robert Falcon Scott was struggling to deal with the fact he had been beaten to the South Pole by Norwegian adventurer Roald Amundsen. 100 years later, Scott Base has celebrated his efforts with a special dinner attended by none other than the great explorer's grandson Falcon Scott. A haka and musical tribute was paid to the great explorer who died with his five man-team trying to make it back to camp. And some of the equipment and personal items taken on that trip to the pole have made the long journey from Canterbury Museum to London. Europe correspondent Garth Bray was invited to see the exhibition before it opens to the public. It's been warm in London for the time of year, but inside the Natural History Museum, there's a chill wind blowing from the South Pole. This representation of Robert Falcon Scott's Antarctic base shows how those men lived and died on an epic journey that hasn't yet been retraced. There have been a whole lot of different views. There's been Scott the hero, Scott the villain ` every manner of stuff where people have put their own spin on the story, and we thought it was time to go back to the very important scientific baseline that Scott and his expedition established for us in Antarctica. The show was being prepared when the February quake struck. Very difficult conditions to finish the conservation work and build the crates and pack the artefacts up to travel, so there was quite a bit of hardship for the team, and I would pay tribute to them for that. What's special about this is that it combines the actual clothing and equipment used with some of the thousands of scientific samples the team sent back to Britain to join the 70 million items this museum now holds. Amongst the penguin menu, the dogsled and the other treasured remnants, we found this NZ flag given to one of the pioneers by a woman in Rakaia. Exactly a hundred years ago tonight that tiny piece of silk flew at the South Pole. For a century people have focused on Scott's failure to be the first person to reach that place, but the people that have organised this exhibition want the world to understand that there is much to celebrate from that journey of discovery. A huge array of specimens were brought back from NZ, and it would take decades for all of that information, all of those specimens to be examined and for the incredibly array of different scientific reports to be published. Scott's journey was like the Apollo moon landing of its day in conditions almost as hostile for human life. He may have been no Neil Armstrong, but the journey his team took is still helping us understand the natural world. Garth Bray, ONE News, London. Looking at our top stories tonight ` the 16-year-old who attacked and raped a five year old girl in a Turangi campground has pleaded guilty and will be sentenced as an adult. He also pleaded guilty to burglary and sexual violation charges. The teenager could face as much as 14 years in prison when he's sentenced at the end of February. Hawke's Bay firefighters were stretched to the limit as they battled to control a huge blaze that destroyed a Hastings fruit packaging plant. Last night's fire was the third at the plant in the last 12 months. Jenny-May's here next with sport, and almost but not quite for the Kiwi tennis number one. GALLANT EFFORT BY MARINA ERAKOVIC In the day's other action at Melbourne Park, the Spanish bull and world number two shows no mercy in his second-round encounter. The game may not mean anything. Nevertheless Jamie Howe goes nuts at Pukekura Park. And can the junior Ice Blacks become hometown heroes at the world champs in Dunedin? Kia ora, welcome back. Marina Erakovic has come agonisingly close to a second round win at the Australian Tennis Open. As Martin Tasker reports, the Kiwi number one was in a commanding position, dictating play, 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! Erakavic 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. Rafael Nadal lashed out at Roger Federer this week for not sticking up for his fellow players in the stand off with the ATP Tour. Today Nadal was just as aggressive on court. Toni Street explains. When you're one of the best players, you're almost entitled to a certain level of arrogance. He had Tommy Haas standing out there waiting for what seemed like ages. Tommy Haas didn't have to wait long for Nadal to wind into his work. But despite easily winning the first three games, mistakes starting creeping into Nadal's game,... Out! ...letting Haas back to within one game before closing out the first set 6-4, then the second 6-3. The gutsy German took the lead early in the third set, but Nadal was ultimately too strong in the end 6-4. If anyone knows the weight of expectation, it's one-time grand slam winner Li Na. She really battled with coping with the newfound fame and expectation. In the six weeks following her French Open victory, the Chinese number one signed $50m worth of endorsement deals. You'd certainly pay to see her performance against Melbourne local Olivia Rogowska. The Australian (20) struggled badly with the sun. Oh, double fault and that's the break for Li Na to go 3-1. Li Na powered through the match 6-2, 6-2. With Australian golden girl Sam Stosur out of the tournament, the Australian crowd turned its support to adopted player Kim Clijsters, who was once engaged to Aussie player Lleyton Hewitt. She was in punishing form against world number 107 Stephanie Foretz-Gacon. The defending champion lost just one game in the match, 6-love, 6-1 in just 47 minutes. Toni Street, ONE News. The Central Stags openers have turned on a batting masterclass in today's Twenty20 match against Wellington. How and Ingram were right at home with the short boundaries at Pukekura Park. How slayed the Wellington bowling. Oh, he plays that shot well. Here's six. 200. And there it is! 100 for Jamie How. Good stuff, mate. Thanks, mate. How's 100 off 45 balls is the fastest in domestic Twenty20 cricket in NZ. He's also the leading run scorer in the game here, and he and Peter Ingram now hold the milestone for the highest opening partnership in 20 over matches worldwide. Ingram fell just short of his century on 97. How went on to make 102 as the Stags reached 222/2. An upset at the national surf championships in Piha ` two young surfers have beaten world number 43 Richard Christie. Alex Dive and Matt Hewitt from Mt Maunganui are through to the semi-finals after tipping over their more illustrious opponent. I just went out there and knew I pretty much nothing to lose, so to come out and beat him here is just amazing. The pair join defending champ Jay Quinn, who topped his heat, in Friday's semi-final. One of the greatest names in motor racing is back in Formula 1. Bruno Senna, nephew of triple world-champion Ayrton, signed with the Williams Renault team, replacing fellow Brazilian Rubens Barrichello. Greatly influenced by his uncle, 28-year-old Bruno has harboured Formula 1 ambitions since he first set foot in a go-kart, and now gets his chance with one of his uncle's old teams. Quite a few of the people here actually worked with Ayrton. There's so many people that stayed in motor racing for so long, and these guys have seen what world champions can do, so it's very encouraging that they are giving me the chance to prove myself here. Ayrton Senna was the last fatality in Formula 1. He died in a Williams after a horrific crash at the San Marino Grand Prix in 1994, which triggered a raft of safety improvements. NZ cyclist Greg Henderson's come to grief on stage one of the tour down under in Adelaide. After his exploits to set up the win in the earlier criterium, it came crashing down for Henderson when he tumbled, 25km from the finish. More carnage followed 800m from the line when a spectator is thought to have set off this pile up in which two riders were taken to hospital. Henderson's Lotto-Belisol teammate Andre Greipel took the stage win. A rare opportunity to play on home ground is motivating the junior Ice Blacks ahead of their world championship opener in Dunedin tonight. The under-20s are vowing to show no southern hospitality to their Northern Hemisphere rivals. Max Bania reports. Game faces on ahead of a world championship campaign that'll mean more than most. We get to go overseas all the time, but coming back and playing on a rink we've played a thousand games in ` it's just awesome. Playing in Dunedin's Ice Stadium is a dream come true for Regan Wilson, who lives just down the road. It's the first time I've played in a NZ jersey here, so it's definitely gonna be a good feeling. For these youngsters, the ultimate goal is playing in professional leagues overseas. But first things first ` a physical encounter against Bulgaria tonight. Yeah, definitely. I mean, we're a rugby nation, so I guess we bring the physicality to ice hockey. Is that something the northern teams are a bit unsettled by, do you think? Yeah, they get away from the contact a bit. The home support is crucial to the Junior Ice Blacks' chances, Needing a top-two finish in the five-team round-robin to move up from division three next year. Second's not good enough. No, we want the gold. We want first place. The country as a whole, I think we're definitely a div-two team through all age groups. They'll have to beat highly fancied China and Iceland to be crowned hometown heroes. Max Bania, ONE News. Thanks, Jenny-May. After the break ` Renee's here with a cool change for the south; and a golden girl in her golden years ` American actress Betty White shares her sage advice for how to make it to 90. Hi, everyone. Lots of sunshine across the country today, but a trough that brought showers to Auckland yesterday is now responsible for showers affecting Taranaki through to Waikato and western Bay of Plenty today. The ridge of high pressure is holding fast over the country today, but a change is on the way tomorrow, as the ridge retreats back to northern NZ, A bright band of high cloud lies north of NZ. Harmless high cloud can be seen drifting over the South Island, while active frontal cloud is invading southern Tasman Sea. Clearer skies over the rest of the country under a ridge of high pressure. The high over the country weakens tonight and then drifts slowly eastwards tomorrow, but extends a ridge back over northern NZ. The high moving east allows the frontal activity in the south Tasman Sea to move onto the far south of the country around lunchtime tomorrow. Ahead of the front, a strong and gusty north-westerly flow develops over southern and central NZ Cloudy in the west, with drizzle turning to rain as the front moves north. Rain developing in the far south late in the morning, but fine with high cloud in the north and east. North-west winds, strong in the south and strengthening inland over the high country. Areas of cloud in the west, with a few light showers clearing between Waikato and Taranaki. Fine and sunny in the east. Light winds in the north, north-westerlies elsewhere, and strong and gusty in the south. For weather, see tvnz.co.nz And that's your weather. Enjoy the rest of your evening. Finally tonight ` the golden girl of American comedy, Betty White, has celebrated her 90th birthday. The actress started her career in radio the 1930s. Especially roses. I can see them everywhere I look. In her 30s she became the first woman to host a daytime talk show, but she's best remembered here for her role in The Golden Girls. US president Barack Obama even joined in on the celebration with his own joke. You look so fantastic and full of energy. I can't believe you're 90 years old. In fact, I don't believe it. That's why I'm writing to ask if you will be willing to produce a copy of your long-form birth certificate. Her advice on reaching 90? 'Try not to die.' And that's ONE News this Wednesday. From all the team, goodnight. Captions by Hannah Reynolds and Angela Alice. Captions were made possible with funding from NZ On Air. Copyright TVNZ Access Services 2012
