Due to the live nature of Tonight, we apologise for the lack of captions for some items. Scott Guy's rocky relationship with his accused murderer is laid out in court. Police target motels in the hunt for a wanted gunman as his alleged getaway driver appears in court. And can the Warriors tame the Panthers in tonight's pivotal NRL game? Kia ora, good evening. Prosecutors are painting a picture of rivalry, jealousy and a competitive relationship between slain farmer Scott Guy and his alleged killer. Ewen Macdonald is accused of shooting his brother-in-law at the family's Feilding farm almost two years ago. Week two of the trial, and murder-accused Ewen Macdonald's relationship with his brother-in-law Scott Guy is under close examination, with one witness who'd worked on the farm describing it as 'hot and cold'. In the early days, one would get a tattoo and the other would get a tattoo or someone ` one of the parties ` would get a new car and the other would get a new car, and the competition to be better than the other person. Andrew Short told the court of one instance when he was looking for Mr Guy and was told by Ewen Macdonald he was probably 'skiving off somewhere'. But he admitted there was nothing about the relationship that greatly concerned him. < And on any other day, did Ewen say anything to you about Scott? Not that I can remember. Ewen MacDonald's accused of using a shotgun to kill Mr Guy at the entrance of the family farm nearly two years ago. The Crown claims Macdonald's motive for killing him was jealousy because of tensions over the property. A farm consultant said the men started off as good friends, but their relationship soured as MacDonald become more involved in running the farm. Just less... less of a positive attitude to Scott. Simon Redmond told the court that in the months after the killing, Ewen Macdonald made comments about Mr Guy being braver than most when he died. He said that Macdonald had also told him that shotguns weren't traceable, but under cross-examination... < Nothing that Ewen Macdonald had ever said to you < gave you cause to consider that he was linked to Scott Guy's murder, is that fair? Yes. Farm worker BJ Worthington said Macdonald had agreed that the killer was a coward and said that he should face a death sentence. Cos a life for a life seems fair. Another farm worker who also took the stand gave evidence that while rivalry between the pair was noticeable, it didn't appear to be major. A child-welfare lobby group is branding the nine-year jail sentence for a man found guilty of killing his girlfriend's baby as 'insulting'. Trent Hapuku assaulted and killed 5-month-old Mikara Reti after he was distrubed while playing a video game. Bob McRoskie from Family First wants the Crown to appeal against the sentence. He says the nine-year sentence devalues children. John Key's remaining stubborn about old age, saying he won't break his promise over the threshold for superannuation. New research shows there'd need to be a big hike in taxes in the future if the pension age stays at 65. On the streets of Lower Hutt, some struggle to decide which should be raised. If the government had to choose between raising taxes or raising the retirement age, which do you think they should do? That's actually a hard question. Which do you think they should do? Oh, can they do a bit of both? It's a question investment and insurance experts at the Financial Services Council say the government needs to address. The council says to keep paying out the pension at 65, taxes would need to increase by 28% by 2070. The people who will be retiring in 2050 or receiving pensions in 2080 are already working, so those people need to know how much do I have to save? What can I reasonably expect from the government? Its study shows Kiwis used to live 15 to 20 years after retiring. But that could extend out to 40 years, as we're living on average two years longer each decade. The research says of all those born today, 44% of males will make it to 100 years of age and over half of the females will reach the milestone. This year the government will spend $9.5b on superannuation, but John Key still refuses to budge on the retirement age. Nothing I've seen would indicate a change prior to 2020 is necessary. The Prime Minister's said he'd resign rather than raise it. If he was to change his mind on superannuation, we would not politic on it. We would sit down and have a genuine cross-party discussion that, I think, would lead to a good solution for NZ. But clearly John Key isn't ready for that kind of discussion. The Prime Minister admits he and other ministers must take some responsibility for failing to win over parents with their plan to boost class sizes. The government's backed away from its controversial policy to trade off better teacher training and quality for larger class sizes. But Mr Key still defends the concept and admits he could have done more. I think all members of Cabinet would accept that we could have done a better job. And in that particular programme, that particular policy, there are some lessons to learn from that. Hindsight's a wonderful thing. His comments follow a drop in support for National in several polls, including a ONE News Colmar Brunton poll. Taupo residents have joined a growing number of angry ratepayers around the country frustrated over proposed big rate hikes. Taupo's old guard are fronting up to its rate-raising enemy. You took no notice of 8000 signatures from ratepayers. It's the second time in as many months that ratepayers have taken the council on over its long-term plan that includes a capital value rating system. It's already an expensive place to live, and putting rates up is just going to make it more so for families. I think in a way I'm fortunate I've got cancer. I've got a couple of years to live. I'll be out of here shortly and I won't have to worry about it any more. The new system will cut commercial rates while hiking those of home-owners. On our older community on fixed incomes, this is actually quite dramatic, because some of them will now be paying up to six weeks of their pension just to pay their rates to the council here. The local auto electrician is not happy either. We've had a thing that's worked for many years, and it's worked fine. And now we get a system that's being changed for the detriment of others, and benefit of some. Taupo joins a growing list of communities disgruntled by recent rates hikes tagged to large infrastructure projects. Mangawhai residents were stung by a proposed 30% increase in April to cover the cost of a new sewerage system. Cantabrians threatened revolt amid fears of a steep hike, and there's bitter division in Dunedin over the council's involvement with the Forsyth Barr stadium. One local-government expert says there's a simple reason our rates keep rising ` the government's contribution to local infrastructure funding is one of the lowest in the OECD, meaning small communities are often left footing very large bills. In Taupo that means the council will hold its tough line. It says there's work to do, and someone's got to pay for it. Auckland police are warning motel owners to be on alert, as they believe an armed gunman has been hiding out in city motels while on the run. Murray Toleafoa is wanted for allegedly firing a pistol at an officer after the car he was in was pulled over by police in central Auckland last Friday. Toleafoa fled the scene, and police believe he has been hiding in city motels with his associates. We just want to put a message out there to moteliers to be vigilant in terms of who they're taking in, because there will be law-abiding citizens staying at the motels, and we've got a dangerous armed man out there who we still have not found. Alleged driver Nadia Ball was arrested and charged with the unlawful possession of a pistol. The 20-year-old will remain on bail until next month. A 60-year-old Motueka man has been fined $6000 for illegally manufacturing tobacco. Nearly 5000 kilos of tobacco leaf were found in Lawrence Jury's home. If manufactured into tobacco, it would have carried a street value of around $2m. Jury was also convicted in 2007 for the unlawful manufacture of tobacco. The government may've backed off some of its cost-cutting proposals for the education system, but it insists savings must still be made. Now one Christchurch principal has an idea that could save millions. Headmaster John Laurenson's used to telling his students to pull their socks up. Now he's saying the same to the Minister. I'm suggesting that we need to start again and build a completely new structure. A new structure, he says, should be shaped on lessons learned from the earthquake. What did the earthquake teach us here in Christchurch? It taught us that you do not have to have one school on one site, and you do not have to have a 'half past 8 to 3' model for education. Shirley Boys High, like many schools, suffered extensive damage last February. More than half the city's high-school pupils were forced to share campuses and split timetables. John Laurenson says the system should become a permanent cost saver. Primary schools, early childhood, all within a reasonable distance, one assembly hall, one performing-arts centre, I'm saying one set of science laboratories. And one board for all schools in close proximity. Let us set up a hub-based approach to education. Here in Christchurch, at least, it appears the government may be on the same page. The draft plan for the city's future education network proposes changes like permanent site-sharing and campuses that cater from early childhood right through to tertiary level. And with the government trying to shave $114m off the books, this Christchurch quake case study may become one that's needed nationwide. One of Christchurch's tallest buildings is safe again after 15 stories of stairs collapsed in last year's earthquake. The last staircase from the Forsyth Barr building was taken out today. Removing the 10-ton flights of stairs has been one of the most complex projects undertaken in the CBD. It's just been an exciting project, and we've had an expert team of engineers who've done a great job in some difficult circumstances. The 19-storey building will now be assessed by engineers. Depending on their findings, it could be one of the few high-rises to survive in Christchurch. Some dairy farmers are leaving Fonterra as the battle heats up over a controversial share scheme. A group opposed to the plan's sent letters to all the co-op's farmers urging them to vote against it. It's time to pick up the milk at this Taranaki dairy farm, but it's not going to Fonterra, after this farmer sold his shares and switched companies. He says he made the move in part because of the new trading scheme. It's really about just the fact of introducing in new investors who` their interests are not necessarily aligned with farmers. But supporters of the Trading Among Farmers Scheme say outside investment is needed for the company to expand and to provide a buffer when markets or growing conditions go bad. The main driver of TAF is to effectively use that capital to improve farmer returns and to grow our presence in the world. But opponents of the scheme say outside investors will want bang for their buck. If you have an investor in a co-op who is not a farmer, the investor will want dividend and they will want to maximise their share price. The simplest and most obvious way to do that is to put downward pressure on the raw material, on the milk price. She says that won't mean consumers will pay any less for their milk, and it will also have an impact on the wider economy. If we break up Fonterra, NZ will be worse off. That's why it's important farmers maintain ownership and control. But Fonterra says there are enough measures in place to protect farmers, and outside investors won't influence milk pricing. The one thing both sides agree on is that it's not good for Fonterra if farmers leave. Our real strength is our collective might of all the farmers. Farmers are due to vote on the scheme later this month. Just ahead ` Kiwi taxpayers help one of the smallest countries in the world with a vital transport link. And we're inside the Hollywood mansion that's up for grabs ` you won't believe the price tag. 1 NZ's smallest territory is getting a new transportation lifeline following a series of ferry disasters in the Pacific. The only way to get to the Tokelau Islands, 500km from Samoa, is on an aging ship. Pacific correspondent Barbara Dreaver's just returned with news on how the journey's about to get safer. One of the most isolated countries on the planet, Tokelau's only gateway to the outside world is the ocean. That movement between us and the world, you know, is what is quite difficult. For years Tokelauans have worried about travelling aboard their ageing ferry. It was originally adapted to increase its cargo and passenger capacity, and this has weakened the structure. The two-day journey across rough seas from Samoa to Tokelau leaves locals fearful, especially after four Pacific ferry sinkings in three years. When will be the day something like this will happen? This is the port of entry into Tokelau, and as you can see, the passage is treacherously rough and narrow. Governor general Sir Jerry Mateparae has braved the journey and brings welcome news for the 1400 people here. The contract for the two-year shipping service was recently signed for the Matua. The brand new ship, which can carry 36 passengers, will start its service to Tokelau early next month. The NZ government says it's taken several years to find a suitable vessel. The price tag ` $6m for a two-year lease. One of the requirements that we had is that it had to be fully internationally compliant. The Tokelauans have also asked NZ for an air service. Four sites have been identified for an airstrip, but the most suitable is where people source their food. When you build an airstrip, you take away really valuable land from families, and that's land that has their coconuts and their coconut crabs. The locals' most urgent need is a safe and reliable shipping service. A ship is more a priority. For now, at least, it will be their only access to the outside world. Barbara Dreaver, ONE News. A film portraying Chilean dictator General Augusto Pinochet as a national hero has sparked anger on the streets of Santiago. Outside the premiere, protesters held up photos of relatives who disappeared during Pinochet's 27-year reign. They were driven back by water cannon and tear gas as police escorted Pinochet supporters into the cinema. Human-rights groups and the families of victims had asked for the film to be banned. It sounds a bit unappealing, but a protein made from rat's saliva could help minimise the damage done during a heart attack. The ABC's Sophie Scott explains. When someone has a heart attack, the muscle is damaged and can't be regenerated. There is a degree of inflammation from blood ` oxygenated blood ` going back into the artery, and we call that reperfusion injury. Doctors at Adelaide's Flinders Medical Centre are using a new treatment, which has been shown to reduce inflammation in lung disease and pancreatitis. It's derived from the saliva of rats. We're trying to see if it has a beneficial effect on saving some heart muscle in the setting of a heart attack. Ivan O'Connell (65) was actually in hospital after a leg operation when he suffered a heart attack. I was just sitting there at the hospital, waiting to go in, and I got this crushing feeling in my chest. He says a treatment which could stop heart damage would be a great bonus. It'd be wonderful. That'd be great for anybody. Not only me ` for everybody that's been affected by a heart attack. Researchers stress the treatment has only been tested on animals, but the results are promising. We might be able to give this protein at the same time as we give our other therapies to open up arteries and therefore minimise the amount of damage that people have from a heart attack. Doctors hope to have the results of the animal experiments next month. It's as legendary as the stars that have called it home ` the Beverly Hills megamansion, playpen of the rich and famous, is up for sale. Channel Nine's Denham Hitchcock has more.

British actor James Corden from the hit series Gavin And Stacey has won the Best Leading Actor prize at the Tony Awards in New York. Corden was honoured for his role in One Man, Two Guvnors, which transferred from the West End to Broadway earlier this year. He beat the favourite, Philip Seymour Hoffman in Death Of A Salesman. Just ahead ` the Warriors face their former coach in tonight's NRL game against the Panthers. The Kathmandu winter sale starts Thursday, with up to 60% off a massive range. There's huge savings on fleece, thermals, down jackets, rainwear, packs and much more. Don't miss the Kathmandu winter sale. It starts Thursday. The Northern Mystics have snatched the top spot in the trans-Tasman championship after beating the Southern Steel in Auckland tonight. The Steel had the lead at half-time, but the Mystics fought back after some sharp shooting from Maria Tutaia who scored 33 from 39 attempts, and partner Catherine Latu, who shot 22 from 23 after coming on at half-time. That was unfortunate. She had done all the hard work and it landed on her forehead and bounced off. Final score 60-49 to the Mystics, who now move two points clear to sit at the top of the table. The Warriors have beaten the Panthers 30-16 in their NRL match in Penrith tonight. The Panthers led 16-12 at half-time, before the Warriors ran in three unanswered tries during the second half to come away with the win. And give it to Konrad Hurrell. And the kicking game of the Panthers cost them four points. The win now means the Warriors are just two points away from the top eight. Now to the weather. A trio of fronts move up the country. The first one clears the North Island overnight, the other two brushing eastern areas of both islands tomorrow. A large high sinks south into the Southern Ocean, forcing a more southerly flow over NZ. Auckland wakes up to an early shower, then dry with high cloud. Fine for Hamilton, with high cloud and a southerly. Wellington has occasional showers with strong cold southerlies. Christchurch is in for a chilly day with sleety showers, snow and south-west gales for Banks Peninsula. Dunedin will have snow showers easing and a strong south-westerly. Wednesday ` North Island, fine. Frosty in central areas. South Island has occasional showers in the south and a few showers about exposed eastern coasts. Thursday ` North Island has occasional showers in the east and about Wellington. The South Island feels the winter weather with occasional showers and snow flurries down to 300m. That's it from us here on Tonight. Thanks for watching. Goodnight. Captions by Anne Langford and Faith Hamblyn. Captions were made possible with funding from NZ On Air.
