Tonight ` the man accused of killing NZer Emily Longley hears how long he'll spend behind bars, and there are harsh words from the judge. Convicted drug smuggler Schapelle Corby has her sentence for drug trafficking slashed. And the heat goes on MP Shane Jones for green-lighting a Chinese millionaire into NZ. Within the last hour the man convicted of murdering NZ teenager Emily Longley has heard how long he'll spend in jail. A jury at the Winchester High Court in England found Elliot Turner guilty of strangling Emily (17) in the family home last year. Europe correspondent Garth Bray joins us now from Winchester. TURNER WILL SPEND 16 YEARS IN PRISON THE JUDGE EXPLAINED EVERYTHING SHE THOUGH DID WRONG YOU SAID 16 YEARS. WHAT HAVE THE LONGELY FAMILY SAID? THEY WERE OUTSIDE COURT AND SAID THE JUDGE SAID THINGS THEY'D BEEN BURNING TO SAY MARK LONGLEY SAID HE HADN'T THOUGHT ABOUT THE SENTENCE, JUST THE VERDICT WE APOLOGISE FOR TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES THERE There's been a major development in the case of Australian drug smuggler Schapelle Corby. Indonesia has confirmed she's won a bid for clemency, knocking five years off her jail sentence. ABC correspondent Matt Brown has the latest. For Schapelle Corby, this has been an extraordinary journey lasting nearly eight years. She was arrested at Bali's international airport in October 2004 with more than 4kg of marijuana stashed in her boogie board bag. She's always claimed she was the victim of a set-up, and her supporters have pointed to a smuggling network in Australian customs and the corrupt Indonesian judicial system. But Schapelle Corby lost all of her court appeals and was sentenced to 20 years in prison. That left her fate in the hands of Indonesia's president, Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, to whom she appealed for clemency. And in mid-2010, the ABC broke the news that a Supreme Court judge had recommended a five-year cut to her prison term. He noted that Schapelle Corby is still a young woman and that she has career prospects because she has training as a beauty technician. He also noted her fragile mental state. Since then, the recommendation's been working its way through the Indonesian justice system, and last week a letter was signed and this week delivered to Kerobokan Prison, where Schapelle Corby's been incarcerated. With maximum time off for good behaviour, if the system works normally, Ms Corby would be released in mid-2015. But one report today claims she could be out as early as August. Just two days out from the Budget, our largest exporter says it'll have to cut its pay out to dairy farmers. Fonterra will be reducing payments by 30c a kilo of milk fat to between $6.45 and $6.55. Next season's outlook looks set to go as low as $5.95. That means nearly $500m in export revenue will be wiped out. Fonterra says the cut is a response to falling global milk prices. But Fonterra's decision isn't the only headache for the government. A new survey shows Kiwis are returning to their bad old ways habits of investing in property ` something this government had tried to discourage. Political editor Corin Dann explains. Over the last few years, Kiwis have been betting on bank deposits for the best investment return. But a new ASB survey shows property's now back on top as the most popular place for people to invest. We have had several years of recession in property, and people are now recognising the fact that the property market has not collapsed; it is a good investment and property does not run away. In his 2010 budget, Bill English sought to discourage NZers' habit of over-investing in property with a raft of new property-tax laws. Two years on, though, he seems less concerned about the Kiwi love affair with housing. Well, no, a bit more investment in property wouldn't be a bad thing because there is a demonstrable shortfall in the amount of new building. Well, there is a housing shortage, yes, but I think if Mr English thinks NZ is going to grow on the back of property speculation, then I have real serious concerns` well, more serious concerns about his role as Finance Minister. Labour, of course, along with the Greens, remain committed to a capital-gains tax on rental investments to get more people investing in productive export businesses. But National has never warmed to the idea. A capital-gains tax would not resolve those issues. John Key was also keen to point out today that once parts of the government's energy assets are privatised and listed on the sharemarket, Kiwis will have a whole new range of investment options to choose from. Of course, a big factor in the surge in property interest is in fact interest rates. We've got these record low interest rates at the moment, and that will be driving a lot of the interest. But economists warn that if you're seeing low interest rates that's not necessarily a sign that everything's OK. Globally, that can mean that people are getting nervous about bad economic weather coming, slowdowns in some of those big economies, including China and places like that. So don't necessarily think that means everything's OK, and they warn: remember, housing's not always a one-way bet, and every investment carries risk. NZ has played a significant role in busting an international child pornography ring. Details released by Internal Affairs show 55 suspects have been arrested around the world, among them five NZers. Daniel Faitaua has more. A global operation into child pornography led by Internal Affairs in NZ. At least 12 children have been identified internationally and removed from harm, including one from NZ who is now in the custody of Child, Youth and Family. The fact that this is occurring is, I think, is just something that violates every sense that we share as a society. Codenamed Operation Laminar, an Internal Affairs investigator intercepted a network of abuse by engaging with the top offenders on social network sites like SocialGO and Facebook. What they found has shocked even seasoned investigators. In other words, it's captured on film. Some of those children are very young, including babies. Hundreds and thousands of images shared through a file-sharing network. The probe spanned 20 countries in Europe, the Middle East, the Americas and Australia. 55 key suspects are now in prison or facing prosecution. Internal Affairs say more arrests are likely. In NZ, when we discovered people around this operation who we thought had a lesser role, we still held them accountable. Five NZers are currently facing prosecution for viewing and sharing the explicit material. Today's announcement comes as no surprise to those fighting the exploitation of children. In NZ, there are over 50,000 mouse clicks to access sites that have previously been identified as containing illegal child sex abuse images. Seven years ago, NZ was part of another international inquiry resulting in 175 prosecutions in this country alone. Now more arrests are pending. While Internal Affairs are giving very few details away about this case, what they tell me is important to note is that this NZ child is safe. They also tell me that the matter is before the courts. The pressure's mounting on MP Shane Jones about his decision to grant a Chinese millionaire residency when Labour was in power. The businessman is now in court accused of falsifying immigration documents. Political reporter Jessica Mutch explains. Chinese millionaire Yong Min Yan, or Bill Liu as he's also known, is on trial in the High Court in Auckland for allegedly falsifying immigration papers. MP Shane Jones has been dragged into the court case because he was the one to grant Yan's residency as associate minister in 2008. I made a very difficult call. I've made that call. I'm being maligned as a consequence of what an official has apparently said in the court. From court, it's emerged that Shane Jones ignored advice from officials to decline the residency application. I based my decision on humanitarian grounds, and at this stage, until the court case is over, I'm not going to comment much further about that. As yet, there's been` there's absolutely no indication that he has done anything wrong. Shane Jones says he's relaxed about what's come out in court. If this guy is the equivalent of some sort of Hannibal Lecter immigration applicant, then take it to court. The Prime Minister says it looks murky. I just can't answer the question of why he said yes when the officials told him to say no. The Prime Minister is calling for the Labour leader to stand down Shane Jones until the court case is over, especially given he was so vocal with John Key over the John Banks-Kim Dotcom saga. It's the politics of utu. We have a crack at John Banks, so they have a crack at Shane Jones. Shane Jones wants another crack at defending himself fully when the court case is over. That's expected in the coming days. Jessica Mutch, ONE News. The union at the centre of a three-month industrial dispute with Affco Meats says the intervention of iwi leaders was critical in breaking the deadlock. 1300 workers returned to their jobs today with the promise of a pay rise and fair work conditions. It follows iwi help at the bargaining table. They just stepped up. They said they wouldn't send stock to the works. They provided moral support on the picket line, financial support on the picket line, and then they've just spent two days in the room bringing the parties together and finding a solution. Many iwi have shared business interests in fishing and meat with the Talley family, which owns Affco Meats. Meridian energy has pulled out of the controversial Mokihinui hydro dam project on the West Coast of the South Island. Meridian says the decision's based on the renewable energy project's high cost and the risks of such a large-scale venture. It was contentious because environmentalists claimed it would ruin land rich in rare wildlife and forests. We decided it was one of those critical issues. If we couldn't save this river, we couldn't save anything, and so we were very determined to protect this beautiful, majestic and wild Mokihinui River. The project would've provided enough energy to power the West Coast. The man convicted of one of this country's most notorious murders has been told he'll have to wait three years before he can apply for parole. Jules Mikus, who raped and murdered Napier girl Teresa Cormack (6) is scheduled to attend a child sex-offender programme next year. But because he's never admitted his guilt, there's no guarantee he'll get on the course. Another killer ` Luke Sibley, who suffocated a toddler and attacked her mother ` also has to wait three years for a hearing. Just ahead ` allegations of abuse on fishing boats prompts major changes for the industry. And re-evaluating your risk of heart attack and stroke ` the new guidelines for your doctor. 1 Qantas has announced it will separate its domestic business from its international arm, which has consistently been the weakest. It comes a day after deciding to slash 500 heavy engineering jobs. Qantas says customers won't be affected by the management changes. Allegations of slave labour and abuse on board foreign fishing boats is forcing a crackdown in our waters. It'll be compulsory for foreign vessels to be linked to a NZ company and operate under our laws. Arrun Soma has the story. It's estimated foreign-chartered vessels contribute around $300m in export earnings for NZ. They're used by Kiwi companies to fish in our exclusive economic zone. The Government launched an inquiry following allegations of abuse on one Korean-flagged vessel and the sinking of another that killed six. The government is not prepared to see any crew member, either being a domestic person or a foreign person, suffer any ill-treatment whilst in NZ waters. Right now, foreign fishing vessels can operate under foreign flags while fishing in NZ waters. That means those countries are responsible for the health, safety and welfare of those on board. Over the next four years, they'll be required to operate under our flag, a sign they're registered here and tied to a NZ company, which will employ the crew directly. It'll be policed by a fisheries observer on board. They will be able to report any breaches, such as underpayment of wages, back to the department. Going out there for four to six weeks on his own with five, six, seven different nationalities speaking, segregated, pushed into a corner on his own. The Maritime Union and the Labour Party say the changes don't go far enough. They say the best way to ensure good working conditions is to make sure most jobs on board vessels go to NZers and not foreigners. One of our biggest fishing companies Sealord welcomes the changes, but says there will be compliance costs. If we're unable to use these boats, then we'll lose shore-based processing jobs. But that's not an immediate concern. We think we can work that through with the Government. The law will be altered by the end of the year to implement the changes. Arrun Soma, ONE News. Australian health experts have recommended some significant changes on how to treat people at risk of heart attack or stroke. Under new guidelines, aspirin won't be recommended for healthy people. The ABC's Sophie Scott explains. Dom Manno is like many others in their 40s ` he's got slightly elevated cholesterol and blood pressure and is carrying a little extra weight. Normally, his GP would put him on medication, but not under new Australian guidelines. He allocated three months for me to lose a little weight and modify my food and diet intake ` try to lower the fatty foods, try to lower the salt ` and then they increased my activity levels for exercise and possibly try and lose 5 kilos to 10 kilos, and we'll revisit it in three months. New guidelines put out by Australia's top health experts recommend significant changes in how to prevent heart attacks and stroke in people aged over 45. Well, the big difference will be that the doctor will take a more holistic approach to assessing what kind of intervention they need to take for preventing heart disease. GPs will look at a full range of risk factors, such as blood pressure, cholesterol, age, weight and whether the patient smokes. While higher-risk patients will be offered medication, low-risk patients will be encouraged to adopt a healthy lifestyle, with doctors encouraged to offer more than just a few words of advice. As your risk increases, we ought to be offering more-intense interventions, and that may mean seeing a dietician or an exercise programme. And aspirin will no longer be recommended to prevent heart attack and stroke. Doctors say the risk of stomach bleeding outweigh the benefits for healthy people. The guidelines are voluntary, but health experts hope they'll be embraced and that more patients will get more appropriate treatment. Californian company SpaceX has successfully launched a mission to resupply the International Space Station, the first cargo delivery to the orbiting outpost by a private company. Three, two, one, zero. And launch of the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket. The initial climb to an altitude some 340km above the Earth lasted a little under 10 minutes. It'll take two days to reach the space station before transferring 500kg of food, water and equipment. The mission has major significance because it marks a big change in the way the US wants to conduct its space operations. Just ahead, it's quite a handful... new pictures of the battle to save our biggest bug. And a good-looking Wednesday is on offer if you don't mind a cold start. Details coming up. The survival of one of NZ's most endangered species has received a boost. The wetapunga, the largest of our giant weta, is only found on Little Barrier Island. Now you'll be able to see them at Auckland Zoo, where they're being bred. Paul Hobbs reports. Munching away at night, the wetapunga shows just how it can outweigh a mouse. It's a big beast. A giant among insects. But it's also one of the rarest. What do you reckon, Paul? Do bunkhouse bush. Yep. Which is why scientists are searching their only homeland, Little Barrier Island, to locate wetapunga suitable to breed in captivity. Oh, oh, got one. These largest of the large were almost wiped out. Only the eradication of the kiore, or native rat, eight years ago has seen their numbers increase. We've been monitoring the population every year since then, and we're comfortable to say that the population has doubled since the rats were taken off. Five years ago, Auckland's Butterfly Creek began a captive breeding programme. So, we're looking for a minimum of a 4cm leg. Now this wetapunga is measuring up to join a similar programme being set up at Auckland Zoo. Breeding them in greater numbers and then spreading the weta to other pest-free islands is the only way to guarantee their survival. A modern zoo is about conserving wildlife in the wild, and this programme, breeding up rare species like this and releasing it back into the wild, is completely what the zoo's about. Researchers have been combing the island for a week now, finding wetapunga like this on average every 45 minutes, but this one is surplus to breeding requirements, so he'll be released back into the wild. It'll be at least three years before the offspring of these zoo-bound wetapunga return to island life, but scientists believe the future of our biggest bug is bright. Paul Hobbs, ONE News. Conservationists are hailing a step forward in their bid to save the critically endangered takahe from extinction. These two small adult males were successfully relocated from the Marlborough Sounds to the Orokonui Ecosanctuary near Dunedin this evening. It's hoped they'll raise public awareness about the bird's plight. These are ambassador takahe. Most NZers will never get to see a takahe in the wild, so sanctuaries like Orokonui Ecosanctuary are becoming very important for advocacy and education. Just 260 takahe remain. These are the only two in Otago. And now weather with Renee. Hi everyone. A ridge of high pressure continues to build over the country, delivering mainly fine, settled conditions for most places. The high is expected to hang around for most of the week too. Frontal activity is expected to reach southern NZ on Thursday, however its progression northwards up the country is blocked by the high. For weather, see tvnz.co.NZ And that's your weather. See you tomorrow. That's it from us here on Tonight. Thanks for watching. Goodnight. Captions by Angela Alice and Sam Bradford.
