Up to 60mm fell on parts on Northland. 40mm to 50mm was dumped on Auckland, most of it around the middle of the day, causing flooding and power cuts. Later in the news hour, I'll tell you where those heavy falls are heading. 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 Simon Dallow and Wendy Petrie. Tonight ` not guilty ` Ewen Macdonald is acquitted of murdering his brother-in-law Scott Guy. We've reaction from the family. It does not restore a father to his son or a husband to his wife. The tears and emotion, the gun and stolen dogs ` a blow-by-blow account of the trail that mesmerised the country. Kia ora, good evening. 'He killed my husband.' The tearful response from Scott Guy's wife after Ewen Macdonald was found not guilty. And the dead man's family say they have mixed feelings about the verdict delivered late this afternoon. Macdonald's acquittal comes after a four-week trial that's gripped many across the country. We have extensive coverage, including all the courtroom drama. Renee Graham's standing by with reaction from the community in Feilding. First, Simon Bradwell's been in court right from the beginning and joins us now live. WE'VE ALL WAITED FOR TWO YEARS FOR AN END FOR THIS CASE WHEN THE END CASE, IT WAS EXTREMELY EMOTIONAL Tears in the eyes of Ewen Macdonald within minutes of being acquitted of murdering his brother-in-law. When the verdict was announced, he collapsed and had to be escorted from the dock. In tears too, Kylee Guy, clutching her husband's hat, rushing from the court through a side exit. She had screamed, 'He killed my husband,' as the verdict was announced, then ran from the court. Scott Guy's father Bryan faced the media on behalf of the family. The accquital today leaves us with mixed emotions. While we're relieved the trial is over, we're obviously left wondering who is responsible for the death of our son. Then leaving with other family, escorting a distressed Anna Macdonald, Ewen Macdonald's wife and Scott Guy's sister. Bryan Guy and Anna Macdonald had held hands as the verdict was read. Our lives have been altered forever. At times the pain of our broken hearts is almost too much to bear. Ewen Macdonald's parents Kerry and Marlene were in court as their son heard the decision and left without comment. The verdict came less than a week short of two years since the Feilding farmer died in the pre-dawn darkness at the family farm. We're thankful for how Scott touched our lives, and we're the richer for that. We must focus on what we have, not what we have lost, and we are determined to love and support our children and grandchildren in their future. We weren't allowed to film what happened in court as the verdict was delivered, including Ewen Macdonald's reaction. But the decision came after the jury began deliberating at 11.35 on Monday, the judge having warned them to decide the case without emotion. Throughout the final days, as for much of the trial, the tension could be seen on the accused. The Crown claimed Ewen Macdonald killed Scott Guy out of deep-seated resentment of his place on the family farm. This was a thorough and professional investigation. We put all the evidence together, and we put the best available evidence before the jury. We accept the jury's decision. Ewen Macdonald didn't take the stand. Instead his lawyer argued that his hours of police interviews, in which he repeatedly denied the killing, spoke for themselves. The Crown said Ewen Macdonald trapped Scott Guy by closing the gates at the end of his driveway. The defence argued police simply had the wrong man and not a shred of evidence pointed to Ewen Macdonald. The judge told the jury not to shrink from giving a verdict. Now the jury has taken that advice. Simon, our viewers will be wondering what happens to Ewen Macdonald now? WHERE IS HE? THAT'S RIGHT YOU COULD WELL BE THINKING, 'IF HE'S NOT GUILTY, WHY HASN'T HE SPOKEN TO MEDIA?' HE'S ADMITTED VANDALISM, GRAFFITI ETC SO HE WILL APPEAR IN THE PALMERSTON NORTH DISTRICT COURT ON THOSE CHARGES Thanks, Simon Bradwell in Wellington. And while this case has drummed huge interest nationwide, it's also put the spotlight on the small North Island community of Feilding, where the Guy farm is located. Renee Graham joins us now live from there. THE OUTCOME OF THIS CASE HAS HAD THE COMMUNITY IN FEILDING ON TENTERHOOKS FOR THE PAST TWO YEARS JUST 14,000 PEOPLE LIVE HERE AND EVERYONE KNOWS EACH OTHER THE MAYOR SAID THERE WAS GOING TO BE A LOT OF PAIN FOR THE COMMUNITY OF FEILDING The trial was often emotional for the families involved, many giving evidence more than once. I THINK THAT AS A COMMUNITY, WE'RE GOING TO SUPPORT THEM BUT WE'RE VERY MINDFUL THAT THEY NEED THE PRIVACY TO RETREAT A WHILE WHAT ABOUT THE PEOPLE YOU'VE BEEN TALKIGN TO ON THE STREET? A LOT OF PEOPLE DIDN'T WANT TO COMMENT BUT MANY WHO DID SAID THEY WERE THINKING OF THE FAMILIES INVOLVED IT'S BEEN PRETTY TRAUMATIC FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE, WE DO WORRY ABOUT THE FAMILIES BOTH SIDES NOW THAT THE VERDICT IS OUT, MANY IN THE COMMUNITY WERE TALKING OF STRONG FEELINGS FOR THE FAMILIES THE VERDICT'S ONLY BEEN OUT FOR A FEW HOURS SO MANY OTHERS SAID ITS IMPLICATIONS ARE STILL SINKING IN The Crown called 60 witnesses ` a big contrast to Ewen Macdonald's legal team which called just two. The trial was often emotional for the families involved, many giving evidence more than once. The Crown called 60 witnesses ` a big contrast to Ewen Macdonald's legal team which called just two. Rebecca Edwards takes a look back at the in-court drama. During the trial Kylee Guy recalled the moment she first learnt her husband Scott Guy had been killed. We stopped and we just stood there, me and Hunter, and then he came down the driveway. And then I said, 'What's happened?' It was the Crown's case that the man who pulled the trigger was Mr Guy's brother-in-law Ewen Macdonald. The accused knew the cause of the death of Scott Guy before anyone else. He knew because he was the gunman. Arguing he gunned the Feilding farmer down after a dispute about the running of the family farm. During the trial, the jury was shown a four-hour police interview conducted nine months after the killing. In the recording, Macdonald at first denied any involvement in setting fire and vandalising property owned by Scott and Kylee Guy. It was only when detectives revealed a friend of his had confessed they both were involved It was only when detectives revealed a friend of his had confessed they both were involved that Macdonald owned up. But he repeatedly denied killing Scott Guy. The Crown argued boots like these were worn by the killer, matching a size nine pair owned by Macdonald. The Crown argued boots like these were worn by the killer, matching a size nine pair owned by Macdonald. But the defence claimed they weren't the same. The shoes at scene, if they are Proline dive boots, could not be size 9. No motive either ` the defence arguing that at the time, Scott guy's relationship with Macdonald was better than it had been in years. The evidence is that on the night of the 7th of July 2010, the night before Mr Guy was savagely and coldly murdered in his driveway, that Ewen and Scott had never been getting on better. Nearly four weeks of evidence then left in the hands of the jury. Rebecca Edwards, ONE News. Now just recapping today's late developments. Ewen Macdonald's been found not guilty of murdering his brother-in-law Scott Guy. Scott Guy's father says his family has mixed emotions about the verdict. Macdonald's still in custody, to be sentenced on other charges he's facing. And you can find all the latest developments in the Scott Guy case on our website ` onenews.co.nz ` including the full reaction from Scott Guy's father and the policewoman in charge of the murder investigation. A poisons expert has joined the call to stop young people inhaling gas in a practice known as huffing. Two Dunedin teenagers set themselves on fire yesterday when their LPG gas bottles exploded. They're stable but in a critical condition, one in Dunedin's intensive care unit, the other at the Middlemore Hospital Burns Centre. Megan Martin reports. Shirley Larson's anguish is clear. I'll always remember it. His hair was all burnt, and his hands were` the skin was dripping off the end of his fingers, and there was all just blood, and he says, Help me, lady, help me!' And I says, 'I can't do nothing. There's nothing I can do.' She had no idea what the loud explosion was from next door. A young fella was running, and crying, 'Somebody help me! Somebody help me!' And just as he got right there, he just burst into flames. It's believed the teenagers had been 'huffing' or inhaling gas from LPG cylinders. The results are not surprising. Releasing LPG into a house ` there's a ignition source, it was inevitable there was going to be an explosion. In fact, three gas bottles exploded. This twisted canister shows the brutal force behind the blasts. Blew the front windows out across the road. Blew some glass` large glass ornaments across the road. One of them ended up inside a car parked on the other side of the road. This is the size of the gas bottles the boys were apparently inhaling from. To get the high they were after, the gas levels, clearly, reached the point of flammability. But the dangers don't end there. There's the risk of sudden death, there's the risk of frostbite, there's a risk of asphyxia. This is a dangerous chemical, and people should not use it. From those that saved the teenagers, the message is loud and clear. Just don't do it! Megan Martin, ONE News. The Christchurch City Council's admitted it needs to review the way earthquake damaged buildings are assessed. It comes on day six of the Royal Commission's hearing into the CTV building collapse which killed a 115 people. Lisa Davies is covering the inquiry. The CTV building stood its ground through two major quakes. After September and Boxing Day, it was given a green sticker. Today those assessments went under the microscope. We were in a state of emergency. We needed to resolve jobs, issues, dangers as quickly as possible. The commission heard that meant sending a team of inspectors to assess the CTV building on September the 7th without an engineer. I had confidence in the team that I was deploying. Under intense questioning, he maintained sending them without an engineer was a 'one-off'. So this one occasion was unique? To my knowledge. The council manager claimed he didn't know they would be conducting a detailed interior assessment of the CTV building, whilst highlighting it isn't just the council who must ensure a building's safety. The owner has that primary responsibility for making sure that the tenants of the building are safe. The stickering of the building, which saw staff return immediately after the September and Boxing Day quakes, has been a major cause for concern to the families of the 115 who died. Just because it's green, it's not all go. And acknowledgment today of the confusion around the sticker process. It certainly needs to be reviewed. The families were firm in their view the commission is dealing with the issues that concern them most. I have absolute faith in that team in there. Tomorrow the commission will hear from the engineer who assessed the building three weeks after the September quake. Lisa Davies, ONE News. We're still being given the cold shoulder, despite a much-publicised thawing of our military relationship with the United States. NZ's nuclear-free stance has led to the banning of our navy ships from entering Hawaii's famous Pearl Harbour. Political reporter Michael Parkin has more. 42 ships from 22 nations have gathered in Hawaii for the world's largest naval exercise, including NZ ` invited after a 28-year absence that stems from our nuclear-free stance. But while the Japanese military which infamously bombed Pearl Harbor in 1941 can now dock its ships there, our two vessels have been denied entry, making NZ's the only navy relegated to a tourist marina near Honolulu. Early in the process we started to see if we could go into Pearl Harbor, but the Americans just reiterated, no, the standing policy would be there. They were never rejected, so they weren't turned away. They were never going to the military part. The Prime Minister's playing it down, but this is an embarrassment for the government which apparently only found out entry to Pearl Harbor wasn't an option when it was reported in a Hawaiian newspaper last week. It was only raised with the minister as it became a media issue. We expected that position to be in place. It's been there ever since the anti-nuclear legislation was adopted by NZ back in 1987. But this Pearl Harbor snub follows a series of events this year designed to show the military relationship between NZ and the US is thawing. United States Marines from Hawaii have been exercising in Waiouru. They also get to utilise some of the equipment that that they don't ever pull out in Hawaii ` you know, their cold weather gear. And NZ soldiers resumed training on American soil. Earlier, Jonathan Coleman met with his US counterpart and signed the Washington Declaration to improve cooperation. but clearly Pearl Harbor's not the place to test the depth of that friendship. Michael Parkin, ONE News. An SAS trooper who lost his life in the line of duty last year has been awarded the Charles Upham Award for bravery. Lance Corporal Leon Smith of Wellington, an SAS medic, was posthumously decorated for his bid one month before his death to save Corporal Douglas Grant, who was shot and killed in a firefight in Kabul. He got a ballistic shield so he could move under fire and moved forward being fired at by the opponents to where Doug Grant was, and he had to negotiate a few obstacles to get there. His life was at considerable risk for his own injury or death Darren Smith accepted the award on his brother's behalf. Lance Corporal Smith is the 24th recipient of Charles Upham Award and the fourth member of the NZ Defence Force. The short but severe downpour that struck Auckland is now moving south, but only after the drenching caused flash flooding and power outages across the region. Charlotte Whale reports. For just over an hour, Auckland was assaulted by one heck of a downpour. MAN: Oh my God. From steps to streets, people scattered as the rain came down. But who says Aucklanders can't handle a little rain? Auckland, you're great and wet. Wonderful. Auckland, eh? Can't beat it. The North Shore was worst hit. Cars parked at the Events Centre were engulfed by floodwaters. First time we've ever seen this. The wild weather provided great photo ops. ONE News viewers sent in a flurry of footage, most from the safety of home or their cars. And then it stopped. In true Auckland fashion, the rain finished almost as quickly as it began. It's hard to believe less than an hour ago the heaven had opened and the fire service was being hammered with calls. Around about 150 jobs in the Auckland area. Mainly city and the Shore, which really got hammered, and out west. An extreme weather warning was called off, but not before power outages in Waiheke Island and Clevedon. And as if to say sorry for its tremendous tantrum, before the sun set, the sky delighted with a special show. Charlotte Whale, ONE News. Still to come on ONE News ` we'll be back live to Wellington for more from the Scott Guy trial. What a British pharmaceutical giant did wrong to cop a record fine of close to $4b. Auckland's new-inner city rail link gets the green light ` authorities will buy up downtown properties to clear the way. And what's behind the Tom and Katie split? The rumour mill points to Scientology's iron grip on the family. Then Close Up examines further what Ewen Macdonald's acquittal means for the family of Scott Guy. A funeral was held today for the Auckland man allegedly killed by his mentally ill flatmate. And Dean Clark's family are calling for answers from the health authorities. Today his best friend told Kate Lynch he believed an innocent man has paid a terrible price for the failures of our mental health system. Brett Whitcombe's searching to find the right words to farewell his dearest friend. I'm angry and shocked. I'm devastated. Dean Clark was killed in his home in Balmoral a week ago. Before that, his alleged attacker, his flatmate, told Mr Whitcombe he'd been hearing voices. I said, 'Look, what voices are they? Are they friendly voices?' He responded in saying that they were random people in society and that they belittled him. It was at that point Mr Whitcombe says his dead friend asked his flatmate to leave. When the 38-year-old appeared here in court, he was assessed by a forensic psychologist as needing 24-hour psychiatric care. Dean Clark's friends and family want to know why mental-health experts didn't see the signs. Surely it didn't have to get to this point for them to see that he was not quite right. Graeme Moyle's brother Colin was murdered by a paranoid schizophrenic five years ago. He says the Clark family face a long road ahead. Secrecy and smoke screens, mental health authorities ducking for cover, and they'll be in the dark until it finally gets to court, which I imagine will be in the long distant future. Dean was my best friend, and I only owe it to him to not give up and to try and make sure this doesn't happen to anyone else. For today, though, the focus is on giving Dean Clark the goodbye he deserves, with or without the right words. Kate Lynch, ONE News. One of the drugs at the centre of the biggest healthcare fraud settlement in US history is used in NZ, but with a warning. Pharmaceutical giant GlaxoSmithKline will pay almost $4b in fines for promoting drugs for unapproved uses and without disclosing major side effects. Our US correspondent Jack Tame reports from New York. # Y'all ready for this? # It looks like a rock concert. But these men aren't superstars, they're drug-company senior management. Who wants to be a millionaire? The audience, the GlaxoSmithKline sales team, being aggressively encouraged to step up drug sales... There are people in this room who are going to make an ungodly sum of money. ...at what US prosecutors say was the expense of public safety. GSK's sales force bribed physicians to prescribe GSK products. Hawaiian holidays, European pheasant hunts, even Madonna tickets were all used to woo doctors. But some of the drug promotions were misleading. In the US, the diabetes drug Avandia was promoted without the disclosure it might cause heart failure. The drug was sold in NZ with the warning until being removed from the market last year. This drug hurt a lot of people. There was fraud too with the antidepressant drug Paxil. In NZ the same drug is called Aropax. It has a warning saying it shouldn't be taken by people under 18. That's because there's evidence it might lead to suicidal thoughts in young people. But in the US, the drug was marketed for teenagers. To get consumers requesting brand-name drugs here, US pharmaceutical companies spend $5b a year here. In this magazine alone, I've found ads for four different prescription drugs. And there are only two countries on earth that allow this sort of advertising ` the US and NZ. GlaxoSmithKline says it regrets the mistakes and has changed company policy. Jack Tame, ONE News, New York. And in case you don't remember the Glaxo name, it once belonged to a milk powder company turned pharmaceutical manufacturer founded here in the Manawatu way back in 1904. Mexicans appear to have returned to power the party that ruled the country for decades. With almost all votes counted, Enrique Pena Nieto from the Institutional Revolutionary Party has declared himself winner of the presidential election. He's thanked voters for giving his party another chance, but vowed it doesn't signal a return to the past. Pena Nieto has promised to reinvigorate the economy and reduce drug-related violence. An Australian lawyer freed after a month-long detention in Libya will be reunited with her family tonight. Melinda Taylor was one of four international criminal court officials held under a suspicion of spying while helping prepare the legal defence for Saif al-Islam Gaddafi, son of the former Libyan dictator. All four officials were allowed to leave Libya, but they're expected back in Tripoli for a final ruling on their case later this month. Weather time now, and heavy rain caused a few problems today, Karen. As we've already seen, some flooding and power cuts in parts of Auckland today as around 50mm fell, most of it in a short space of time around the middle of the day. Hard frosts and persistent fog for Central Otago. Ophir was frozen on minus-12 this morning. The heavy-rain warning for the Coromandel Peninsula has just been lifted, but a watch remains in place for heavy falls for the Bay of Plenty and Rotorua throughout today as the rain band continues to slide south, for Gisborne through to early Wednesday morning and for Hawke's Bay overnight and tomorrow. For weather, see onenews.co.nz This is what happens to fountains in Invercargill when the overnight low plummets to minus-6. Thanks to Jane Court for the photo. And this spectacular shot of icicles was taken by John Robson on the side of the Milford Road en route to Milford Sound. Both photos showing just how freezing cold it has been in the far south. Another icy night on the way. I'll have more details after sport. Just ahead on your news hour ` Auckland Transport shows what's in the way of its new underground inner-city rail link. Auckland Transport shows what's in the way of its new underground inner-city rail link. And is Hollywood's latest bust-up a mother's bid to raise her daughter in a world without Scientology? Coming up on Close Up ` the stuff we couldn't talk about during the Scott Guy murder trial. You know the verdict, but what was going on in that court room? Should it ever have gone to trial? And what about home in the Manawatu ` can it still be home? Close Up tonight live from the High Court. 1 Auckland Council has announced the route for its new underground rail loop, committing millions of dollars to buy out homes and businesses that are in the way. The council says it's committed to the $3b project, despite the government's refusal to sign it off. Kim Vinnell reports. On a day many Aucklanders would've preferred travelling underground, Auckland Council's explained how commuters can stay out of the rain, confirming a route for the city's new underground rail loop. This is all about where we want Auckland to go as a city. It's about fulfilling the vision for Auckland. The new route will run through the city, connecting Britomart with the existing western line. Three underground stations will be built along the way, near the Aotea Centre, Karangahape Road and Newton. Even with the project's $2.86b price tag, people we spoke to were enthusiastic. I think train travel is the way forward in Auckland. You only need to look out there to see how bad the traffic is. I think it would be a lot more convenient than being above ground. The government, on the other hand, has been sceptical. The previous numbers on that ` in other words, whether it would really grow the amount of people on public transport ` has been highly debatable. Auckland Transport, though, isn't deterred, marking out 210 homes and business it plans to buy out. The government has been supportive in terms of protecting the route, and we are working our way through protecting that route to make sure that Auckland has some strategic options going forward. The council is confident the central city link will benefit all of Auckland. To go from Onehunga to the new K Road station will take commuters 27 minutes. That's 20 minutes faster than the same journey right now. The promise of a bustling city centre is enough for the council to forge ahead, waiting for the government's cash commitment. Kim Vinnell, ONE News. Katie Holmes has made her first public appearance since filing for divorce from Tom Cruise. The actress put on a brave face for the photographers, despite widespread rumours about the marriage and the stifling role the Church of Scientology played in their lives. ABC's Dan Harris reports. Today the woman at the centre of a tabloid tempest. Katie Holmes was captured in Manhattan without her wedding ring. According to published reports, one of the main reasons why Holmes filed for divorce from Tom Cruise was religion. I think it's a privilege to call yourself a Scientologist. Cruise is the most famous member of the Church of Scientology, a faith founded 60 years ago by science fiction writer L Ron Hubbard. The church, which says that through counselling sessions called audits, it can heal people of past traumas, has been involved in many controversies. You listen to me for a second. Reportedly, Holmes, who was raised Catholic, feared that her husband would pull their 6-year-old daughter Suri more deeply into the faith. Jenna Miscavige Hill, the niece of the man who runs Scientology, David Miscavige, has come forward in recent years to say that more than a decade ago, she was forced to perform manual labour at age 6, and at age 7, forced to sign a billion-year loyalty contract. It means that, like, in Scientology, they believe that you live lifetime after lifetime. The church denies children are forced to do manual labour. In what could be a sign of things to come for Katie Holmes,... Welcome to the... ...former church official Debbie Cook says people who leave the church are often excommunicated. Do you and your husband still have family in the church? Yes, we do. And do you have a continuing relationship with them? No. They have actually been asked or pressured in some way to not communicate to us right now. American reports say Katie Holmes' father, an Ohio-based divorce lawyer, has been instrumental in her move to split from Cruise, flying to join her in New York in the days before the big announcement. Looking at our top story tonight ` Ewen Macdonald has been found not guilty of murdering his brother-in-law Scott Guy, bringing to an end a trial that has gripped the nation as it revealed a Feilding farming family torn apart. The verdict brought an outburst from guy's wife Kylee, who cried out, 'He killed my husband,' and ran from the court. Father Bryan Guy said the family was relieved the trial was over, but left wondering who was responsible for Scott's death. The police have revealed how much they have spent on the Scott Guy homicide inquiry. Figures obtained by ONE News under the Official Information Act show the investigation cost just under $700,000. Daniel Faitaua reports. Mystery surrounded the death of Scott Guy in the days immediately after he was gunned down in the gate of the family farm. 40 officers were committed to the case, but hopes of an early resolution were soon dashed. We have yet to establish any reason for his killing. That is why I ask the community to assist us in this. Scott Guy's parents were also perplexed. He was very much loved. He was very much loved. Um, it's really quite bizarre. You know, we've got no idea what happened or why. A funeral was held eight days after the shooting. Ewen Macdonald was among the mourners, serving as a pallbearer. His wife, Anna, was Scott Guy's sister. EMOTIONALLY: Our hearts are so broken. (SNIFFS) But we will miss you every day. Two weeks after the crime, police appealed for information about three Labrador puppies like these missing from the Guys' farm around the time of the killing. But after a month and a half, whoever committed the crime was still out there. Scott Guy's widow, Kylee, who was eight months' pregnant with their second child, made an emotional appeal. What's happened is so horrible and so disgusting, especially to happen in NZ. The case gradually disappeared from the headlines, but the police work continued. Then in April last year, nine months after the shooting, Ewen Macdonald was charged with murder. The arrest came after a friend of Macdonald's confessed that the pair had vandalised and set fire to some of Scott and Kylee Guy's property two years earlier. While Ewen Macdonald admitted to the damage, he strongly denied killing his brother-in-law. It has taken just over a year for the case to come to trial. Daniel Faitaua, ONE News. Let's go back live now to Simon Bradwell, who's covered the trial for ONE News. Simon. Why do you think there's been so much public interest in this case? I THINK WE SAW IT AGAIN TODAY WE SAW A LOT OF EMOTION FROM KYLEE GUY AND ANNA MACDONALD IT'S THE EMOTION THAT COMES FROM LOSS AND WE NEED TO REMEMBER THAT THE PUBLIC GOT INVOLVED IN THIS, MEDIA PUT EFFORT IN, BUT FOR US AND THE PUBLIC, THERE'LL BE OTHER STORIES BTU FORT EH FAMILIES, THIS IS THEIR LFIE Thanks, Simon Bradwell in Wellington. Jenny-May's here next with sport, and boxer Monte Barrett is subdued ahead of Thursday's bout with Shane Cameron. So who is Barrett picking on if it ain't Shane Cameron? Also on the way, Greg Henderson justifies his cycling selection for London. Team NZ pull off a remarkable win in the Volvo Ocean Race. Proving they're no pushovers, the Magic march into netball's trans-Tasman finals. And the scream queen is gone ` she's not happy, but I bet some fans are. Kia ora, welcome back. Team NZ has executed a remarkable comeback in the Volvo Ocean Race, winning the final offshore leg to sit in second place overall behind runaway winners Groupama. And as Martin Tasker reports from Galway, only a disaster in the final in-port race can prevent Camper sealing more honours. SPLIT ENZ'S 'I SEE RED' PLAYS Stunning scenes on Ireland's west coast for the arrival of Camper, the Team NZ boat surviving a nail-biting final run into Galway to take their first offshore leg victory by just seven minutes over Groupama. I guess the test of a team is one where you fall over and it's if you can get up and stand up again, and we passed that test. Everyone was, like, 'Oh, it's not going to happen again.' I said, 'No, life is not that cruel. It can't happen for the third time.' On the 500-mile sprint leg from Lorient in France the Kiwi boat actually trailed in fourth place around the notorious Fastnet Rock. But after the lightening of the boat for this ninth leg, allied to flawless crew work concealing its weak spot, Camper picked a perfect course to hit the front and stay there. Everyone did an awesome job on this leg. We made changes that were crisp and sharp the right sails the whole way through, and it was an awesome race. Camper's well-chronicled speed problems have seen the boat rather cruelly dubbed Clifford after the big red dog in the children's cartoon series, so its barking comeback was as surprising as it was dramatic. But to nail it they have to sail a clean in-port race at the weekend. ALL CHEER There's an added incentive ` the chance to win the in-port series trophy to go with their 24-hour distance record. Martin Tasker, ONE News, Galway, Ireland. The drama continues at Wimbledon ` world tennis number one and top seed Maria Sharapova buckling to a German powerhouse. In the men's draw there was a moment of panic for the Roger Federer, while local hero Andy Murray's parade has been stalled by rain. Mark Hathaway has more. The queen of tennis battling a blitzkrieg. German Sabine Lisicki bombarded Maria Sharapova with a relentless display of firepower. The nuggety world number 15 was too much for the tournament favourite. Sharapova's body language told the story of a champion making rookie mistakes. The knockout blow come in her next service game. 6-4, 6-3 ` the upset of the tournament so far. The ice maiden has been beaten. Sharapova is out of this year's Wimbledon. In other women's action, Yaroslava Svedova definitely needed safety goggles against Serena Williams. The American was too strong for the Kazakhstani wildcard. And big sister approves. Svedova, who'd won an entire set at the French Open without dropping a point, was worked over by the masterful Williams. That lob set up match point. CHEERING 6-1, 2-6, 7-5 ` Williams back in form. While Roger Federer's back was in pain and slowing him down. A trip to the medical room must have had opponent Xavier Malisse's hopes on the rise. But after a magic touch from the medics, the Fed was back and brilliant. A break for the British weather couldn't stop the Fed's momentum, finishing things quickly. Federer survived the weather just in time. But local hope Andy Murray was not so lucky. After winning his first set, the Wimbledon grass became unplayable. The match is suspended. Murray now has an anxious wait and a tough turnaround, should he progress to the quarters. Mark Hathaway, ONE News. Greg Henderson's justified his Olympic selection, putting in a perfect lead-out ride on stage two of cycling's Tour de France. Unfortunately all the Kiwi's good work was undone by road cycling's fastest rider. Here's Blair Norton. It's really only within 5km of the finish that red-shoed Greg Henderson makes his money. There's Greg Henderson, the Kiwi rider, just in the middle there. I think I'm kind of the conductor. I'm the one that yells all the orders and tells them which side of the road to go and, yeah, I've taken on that role pretty well. The Kiwi (35) organising his Lotto Belisol team for just one purpose. My job's to accelerate the speed close to the sprint speed so that no one can move in the final 300m or 400m and obviously Greipel's on my wheel, so he has the best position to start the sprint. And Henderson couldn't have done his job any better in this morning's flat 217km stage from Vise to Tournai. Andre Greipel perfectly led out there by Greg Henderson. When I swung off at 200m, there was a little fella called Mark Cavendish in the rainbow jersey the world champion. on Greipel's wheel. Cavendish ` can he get around his old teammate and win? A final kick by Mark Cavendish. Is the missile going to hit his target for the 23rd time? And, yes, he does. Cavendish demonstrating his brilliance without the benefit of the strong lead out train he's enjoyed the last few tours. It's just one of those days where you get beaten by the better man on the day. I knew it was going to be difficult, dangerous, hectic here and I came in without any pressure, really, you know? Tour leader Fabian Cancelarra finishing safely in the peleton and holding onto his seven-second lead. Henderson is satisfied with his efforts, but ruing what might have been. Blair Norton, ONE News. Magic coach Nolene Taurua has had her critics over the years. Her sometimes 'curious' methods have come under scrutiny. But she's worked a miracle. When it seemed her side was gone for all money from the trans-Tasman netball championship, her players produced the goods when it really mattered. A well-earned rest after a torrid couple of months. But for just one day, Magic skipper Laura Langman can relax. We've developed this performance culture so players know if something's said to you in the heat of the moment, it's not personal; it's purely for performance. Last night's fiery encounter against Queensland was their ninth must-win match of the season after dropping their opening four games. That was a tumble. Jeez, you don't see van Dyk hit the deck like that often. The Firebirds too were under the pump. Last year's champions needed a 20-plus goal win to have any chance of making the top four. What a high shot, Medhurst. But they fell well short, succumbing to the trans-Tasman curse. Not one reigning champion side has made the finals series the following season. Irene van Dyk with another perfect shooting performance. Oh, great dodge from the 40-year-old on the baseline. At the other end, the defence was suffocating. Last night's 53-43 win set up a sudden-death semi-final against the Thunderbirds in Hamilton, a side the Magic only just last week thrashed 59-42. It took a lot of energy and effort to get to top four, and we know that doubles when you get into finals netball. A scenario the Magic have proved they are more than capable of dealing with. Trash-talking Monte Barrett, the boxer who ended David Tua's career, has completely changed his tune towards Shane Cameron two days out from their bout at Sky City, admitting for the first time his career's over if the Kiwi wins. Here's Craig Stanaway. Two months ago he famously quipped, 'Shane fighting me is like a dog scratching a flea. It's going to be easy.' Even though I talk my trash, I do respect the kid. I know he's coming to fight. Barrett will never admit it, but Cameron's sparring sessions with former heavyweight champion David Haye have made the Kiwi a better fighter. The 41-year-old is wise enough to know he's fighting a man younger, fitter and stronger than him. Everyday as a fighter, you lose a day of your life. You slow down. Your speech, your thought process, your memory, your speed ` everything. So of course I've slowed down. If I can't get past this fight, there's no more fights for me. Firstly, I'm not looking at losing, but I'll take each fight as it comes. Cameron has given Barrett no reason to dislike him. His manager? That's a different story. I just wanted to say hi to Ken, who said I've been put on my back more than a $2 ho, and I'm pretty sure he would know, because he paid enough of them. David Tua gave your boy a thrashing, and now you're sucking on his lollypop. We have a saying in our country that you can give it but you can't take it, so when you're given a bit of jip, you start to cry like a baby. Switch sides. Let Shane Cameron talk. Cameron's keeping pretty quiet. He knows he has to do his talking on Thursday. Craig Stanaway, ONE News. REMINDER ` WE'LL HAVE ALL THE ACTION FROM WIMBLEDON HERE ON ONE FROM MIDNIGHT. Thanks, Jenny-May. After the break ` Karen tells us where the heavy rain is heading. Coming up in just a few minutes ` join us here at the Wellington High Court, where for the first time we get to talk frankly about the Scott Guy murder trial. Hear what we couldn't tell you at the time. We give you the inside on what happened inside the court and where things are back home for the Guy family. Close Up live in the wake of the not-guilty verdict, here after your weather. A band of heavy rain is sinking southward over the North Island tonight. Some big totals for Northland, Auckland and the Coromandel Peninsula as that band passed over. Take a look at that rain band on the radar. Some big falls within that bands showing up as red and purple colours. Main band currently moving through Waikato area. See, there's a nice clearance in behind. The heavy rain warning for the Coromandel Peninsula has just been lifted, but a watch remains in place for heavy falls for the Bay of Plenty and Rotorua throughout today, for Gisborne through to early Wednesday morning and for Hawke's Bay overnight and tomorrow. Some rain or drizzle in the north and east of the South Island. Down as far as Dunedin, some snow on the ranges. Fine with high cloud everywhere else. Some persistent areas of fog in inland valleys and basins and severe frosts again. East to north-east winds, strong at times about the Otago coast. The rain band continues to slide down over the North Island. Mix of clear skies and few showers in its wake. Those showers mainly north of Thames. Some heavy falls along the East Coast during the morning, but the rain gradually easing during the afternoon, clearing in Gisborne in the evening. Fresh easterly winds giving way to lighter north-west winds. For weather, see onenews.co.nz That's all from me. See you tomorrow. And that's ONE News this Tuesday.
