WE APOLOGISE FOR THE LACK OF CAPTIONS FOR SOME ITEMS. EWEN MACDONALD REMAINS BEHIND BARS IN THE FALL-OUT FROM THE SCOTT GUY MURDER CASE. A POWERFUL EARTHQUAKE IS FELT OVER MUCH OF THE COUNTRY. AND REMEMBERING ACTOR ANDY GRIFFTHS, DEAD TODAY AT THE AGE OF 86. A FORMER MANAWATU DISTRICT MAYOR AND CURRENT REGIONAL MP IS CALLING ON THE COMMUNITY TO SUPPORT BOTH THE GUY AND MACDONALD FAMILIES AS THEY BEGIN MOVING ON WITH THEIR LIVES. THIS FOLLOWS EWEN MACDONALD'S ACQUITTAL ON THE CHARGE OF MURDERING HIS BROTHER-IN-LAW SCOTT GUY ON THE FAMILY FARM IN FEILDING IN 2010. MP IAN MCKELVIE SAYS RETURNING HOME TO EVERYDAY LIFE WON'T BE EASY FOR EITHER OF THE FAMILIES. I THINK, FROM A FAMILY PERSPECTIVE, THAT IRRESPECTIVE OF THE DECISION, THEY'VE HAD TO LIVE WITH THIS FOR TWO YEARS AND THEY'LL HAVE LIVE WITH IT FOR THE REST OF THEIR LIVES. SO THEIR LIVES HAVE CHANGED FOREVER, AND IT'S REALLY THE COMMUNITY'S ROLE NOW... THE ONLY ROLE THE COMMUNITY CAN PLAY IN THAT IS TO MAKE THEIR LIVES AS EASY FOR THEM AS... AS CAN BE. EWEN MACDONALD HAS BEEN REMANDED IN CUSTODY UNTIL THE END OF THE MONTH, WHEN A DATE WILL BE SET FOR HIS SENTENCING ON A NUMBER OF COUNTS, INCLUDING ARSON AND VANDALISM. HE'S ALREADY BEEN HELD FOR 15 MONTHS ON THOSE CHARGES AND IS CURRENTLY IN MANAWATU JAIL. WE WILL HAVE MUCH MORE ON THE FALL-OUT FROM THE SCOTT GUY TRIAL ON THE NEWS AT 4.30 AND THE NEWS HOUR AT 6, PLUS ON OUR WEBSITE AT ONENEWS.CO.NZ MUCH OF NZ WAS SHAKEN BY A POWERFUL EARTHQUAKE LAST NIGHT. THE MAGNITUDE-7 QUAKE WAS FELT UP AND DOWN BOTH ISLANDS. ONE NEWS REPORTER JAMES RANSLEY JOINS US NOW LIVE FROM OUR WELLINGTON NEWSROOM. JAMES. NO REPORTS OF MAJOR DAMAGE OR INJURY WAS FELT FROM AUCKLAND TO GORE WE'VE HAD SO MANY REPORTS IT WAS JUST AFTER 10PM LAST NIGHT JUST OF TARANAKI FIRST MAGNITUDE-7 EARTHQUAKE IN 100 YEARS PART OF THAT IS THE MAGNITUDE OF THE EARTHQUAKE ITSELF, AND PART OF IT IS DUE TO THE PHYSICS YOU SEE AROUND A SUBDUCTION ZONE. THE ENERGY TRAVELS VERY EFFICIENTLY BACK UP THE PLATE TOWARDS THE SURFACE, AND THAT MEANS THAT THE DISTRIBUTION OF THE ENERGY IS VERY EVEN AND YOU FEEL IT VERY WIDELY ACROSS THE COUNTRY. CIVIL DEFENCE IS URGING PEOPLE TO JOIN ATHE EARTHQUAKE DRILL THANKS, JAMES RANSLEY, LIVE FROM WELLINGTON. THE CANTERBURY EARTHQUAKES ROYAL COMMISSION HAS HEARD TODAY THERE WAS NO REASON FOR CONCERN ABOUT THE CTV BUILDING AFTER THE SEPTEMBER 2010 EARTHQUAKE. THAT'S THE EVIDENCE FROM THE ONLY ENGINEER WHO EXAMINED THE BUILDING THREE WEEKS AFTER THE SEPTEMBER QUAKE. DAVID COATSWORTH TOLD THE HEARING THAT BECAUSE THE BUILDING WAS BUILT IN THE 1980S, HE CONSIDERED IT WAS UNLIKELY IT WAS EARTHQUAKE-PRONE WHEN HE CARRIED OUT THE EXAMINATION. HE WAS ASKED IF HE WAS AWARE OF CONCERNS TENANTS HAD ABOUT MOVEMENT AND VIBRATIONS IN THE BUILDING AFTER THE QUAKE. YES, I WAS AWARE OF THESE THINGS. BUT I DIDN'T BELIEVE THAT THERE WAS ANYTHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY. MR COATSWORTH SAYS HE LOOKED CLOSELY AT THE MAIN STRUCTURAL FEATURES, BUT FOUND NO DAMAGE TO THE SHEER WALL OR EVIDENCE OF SEPARATION FROM THE FLOOR SLAB. SEVERAL MONTHS LATER, THE CTV BUILDING COLLAPSED CATASTROPHICALLY IN THE FEBRUARY QUAKE, KILLING 115 PEOPLE. MORE LEGAL ARGUMENT IS BEING HEARD IN THE KIM DOTCOM CASE IN AUCKLAND. THE JUDICIAL REVIEW HEARING FOLLOWS THE RULING THAT WARRANTS USED TO SEARCH THE HOME OF MEGAUPLOAD FOUNDER WERE INVALID, SO THE RAID WAS ILLEGAL. THE TWO-DAY HEARING WILL COVER ISSUES OF WHAT HAPPENS NOW WITH EVIDENCE AND ASSETS SEIZED IN THE RAID. BUT REGARDLESS OF THE OUTCOME OF THESE PROCEEDINGS, AN EXTRADITION HEARING FOR DOTCOM AND THREE CO-ACCUSED WILL STILL GO AHEAD EARLY NEXT MONTH. A SEARCH IS UNDERWAY OFF THE COAST OF SCOTLAND FOR TWO RAF CREWMEN MISSING AFTER A MID-AIR COLLISION. TWO OTHER AIR CREW WERE PICKED UP SHORTLY AFTER THE CRASH DURING A TRAINING EXERCISE. ONE IS IN A CRITICAL CONDITION. THE BBC'S JAMES COOK REPORTS. THIS IS WHAT THE SEARCH TEAMS ARE FACING TONIGHT ` A THICK BANK OF FOG OVER THE MORAY FIRTH, MAKING A DIFFICULT TASK ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE. HELICOPTER CREWS ARE TRYING TO FIND THEIR COLLEAGUES, BUT THEY KNOW BETTER THAN ANYONE THAT HOPE IS FADING. AT RAF LOSSIEMOUTH, ALL THREE TORNADO SQUADRONS ARE GROUNDED. THIS IS A CLOSE COMMUNITY, AND THIS EVENING THE STATION COMMANDER SPOKE FOR EVERYONE ON THE BASE. THIS INVOLVED FOUR AIR CREW, ALL PERSONNEL FROM THIS STATION. AND THE THOUGHTS OF EVERYONE HERE ARE WITH THE FAMILIES AND FRIENDS OF THOSE INVOLVED. AS I'M SURE YOU'LL UNDERSTAND, THIS IS AN EVOLVING SITUATION. AS SUCH, I'M NOT PREPARED TO COMMENT AT THIS TIME ON THEIR CONDITION OR SPECULATE ON THE CIRCUMSTANCES SURROUNDING THE INCIDENT. THE GR4 TORNADO IS THE RAF'S MAIN BOMBER. IT RECENTLY SAW ACTION OVER LIBYA AND IS STILL FLYING IN AFGHANISTAN. THEY PRACTICE THEIR BOMBING RUNS OVER THE FLAT FARMLAND OF MORAY AND OVER THE OPEN SEA. THE EXACT CAUSE OF THIS CRASH IS NOT CLEAR, ALTHOUGH THE COAST GUARD WAS TOLD THAT THE AIRCRAFT HAD COLLIDED. LET'S BE HONEST. WE'RE TALKING ABOUT PEOPLE FLYING ALONG AT 500MPH, MAYBE MORE. IT'S INTENSE WORKLOAD. YOU WANT TO KEEP YOUR EYES OUT OF THE COCKPIT. BUT YOU'VE GOT ALL THESE COMPUTERS IN FRONT OF YOU ` THE TEMPTATION TO LOOK DOWN IS CONSIDERABLE. AND WHILE EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED TO THE TORNADOES AND WHY IS A PRESSING QUESTION, NOTHING HAS PRIORITY OVER THE SEARCH FOR THE MISSING MEN. THE INFAMOUS BRITISH MOORS MURDERER IAN BRADY IS SAID TO BE ACUTELY ILL IN HOSPITAL AFTER SUFFERING A SUSPECTED SEIZURE. BRADY, ALONG WITH HIS PARTNER MYRA HINDLEY, WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE BRUTAL MURDER OF FIVE CHILDREN IN THE 1960S. THE BBC'S ED THOMAS REPORTS. IAN BRADY IS 74. IT'S NOW 46 YEARS SINCE HE WAS JAILED FOR THE MOORS MURDERS, AND YESTERDAY HE HAD A SUSPECTED SEIZURE AND COLLAPSED. HE'S NOW BEING TREATED HERE, AT AINTREE HOSPITAL. IAN BRADY TORTURED, KILLED AND BURIED FIVE CHILDREN HERE ON SADDLEWORTH MOORS. HE AND HIS PARTNER, MYRA HINDLEY, WERE JAILED FOR LIFE, DESPITE RETURNING TO THE MOORS TO HELP POLICE FIND THEIR VICTIMS. THE BODY OF KEITH BENNETT HAS NEVER BEEN FOUND. SPEAKING IN DECEMBER, HIS MOTHER, WINNIE JOHNSON, SAID SHE ONLY HAS ONE QUESTION FOR THE MOORS MURDERER. I'VE HAD 40 YEARS OF IT. ALL 40 YEARS, AND, UH, I WANT IT COMING TO AN END, AND I WANT KEITH FOUND, AND I'D ASK HIS STRAIGHT OUT TO TELL ME WHERE KEITH IS, SO WE CAN HAVE HIM FOUND. AS A MENTAL HEALTH PATIENT AT ASHWORTH HOSPITAL, IAN BRADY IS NOT ALLOWED TO TAKE HIS OWN LIFE. HERE HE'S FORCE-FED, AFTER HE BEGAN A HUNGER STRIKE, AND THOSE WHO HAVE INTERVIEWED HIM SAY IT'S AFFECTED HIS HEALTH. THE MAN IS VERY VERY THIN, UH, HE'S VERY PALE, AND HE HASN'T BEEN OUT IN THE SUNLIGHT FOR VERY MANY YEARS, NOW. SO HE'S, UM, HE ISN'T VERY WELL, UNDERSTANDABLY. GUARDS AND POLICE REMAIN INSIDE AINTREE HOSPITAL TONIGHT, AND THEY'LL STAY FOR AS LONG AS IAN BRADY IS TREATED ON IT'S WARDS. HIS TELEVISION SHOW'S THEME TUNE HAS BECOME ONE OF THE MOST FAMOUS PIECES OF WHISTLED MUSIC EVER. NOW ANDY GRIFFITH HAS PASSED AWAY. HE WAS BEST KNOWN FOR HIS ROLE AS A SMALL TOWN SHERRIFF. RON HOWARD, THE YOUNG BOY WHO PLAYED HIS SON, OPIE, IN THAT SHOW, SAID ANDY GRIFFITH SHAPED HIS LIFE. THE ABC'S DAVID MUIR REPORTS. CHEERFUL WHISTLING IT WAS THE WHISTLE HEARD IN AMERICAN HOUSEHOLDS FOR NEARLY A DECADE IN THE 1960S. SHERIFF. ANDY GRIFFITH WAS AMERICA'S SHERIFF IN THAT SMALL, FICTIONAL TOWN OF MAYBERRY, WHERE HIS WISDOM, HIS WIT AND HIS FOLKSY SENSE OF HUMOUR LED THAT QUINTESSENTIAL AMERICAN TOWN. 'THE ANDY GRIFFITH SHOW' DEBUTED IN 1960 ` A YOUNG RONNIE HOWARD PLAYING THE WIDOWED SHERIFF'S YOUNG SON OPIE. YOU GOT SOME KIND OF PROBLEM? WELL, I GOT SOMETHIN' TO ASK YOU ` SOMETHIN' IMPORTANT. YEAH? WELL, GO AHEAD. CAN I RUN AWAY FROM HOME? UH... AND WHO COULD FORGET AUNT BEA? A B! COME IN THIS HOUSE. AND DON KNOTTS AS THE BUMBLING BARNEY FIFE. HE AND GRIFFITH WERE ONE OF AMERICA'S MOST POPULAR COMEDY DUOS. THANK YOU, RELIABLE BARNEY. WELL... WE DIDN'T KNOW WHEN WE STARTED THAT IT WAS GONNA THAT LAST THAT LONG OR INFLUENCE SO MANY PEOPLE. WE WERE JUST TRYING TO DO A GOOD SHOW. THE FICTIONAL TOWN OF MAYBERRY WAS MUCH LIKE THE TOWN WHERE GRIFFITH WAS BORN IN THE BLUE RIDGE MOUNTAINS, JUNE 1926. HE GREW UP SINGING AND PLAYING THE GUITAR. FEW KNEW HE BAGAN HIS CAREER AS A HIGH SCHOOL MUSIC TEACHER AND STARTED PREFORMING IN THE '50S ON BROADWAY AND IN THE MOVIES. HIS FILM DEBUT, PLAYING THAT SINGER FROM ARKANSAS WHO BECOMES A TV SENSATION, IN 'A FACE IN THE CROWD'. DECADES LATER, HE WOULD WIN OVER AMERICAN VIEWERS AGAIN AS MATLOCK. GRIFFITH THEN WON A GRAMMY FOR AN ALBUM OF HYMNS ` MUSIC WAS ALWAYS ONE OF HIS FIRST LOVES. AND IN 2005, GRIFFITH RECEIVED THE PRESIDENTIAL MEDAL OF FREEDOM. PRESIDENT BUSH THANKED ANDY GRIFFITH FOR BEING SUCH A FRIENDLY AND BELOVED PRESENCE IN AMERICAN LIFE. I DON'T WANNA LEAVE YOU, PA. AND I DON'T WANT YOU TO LEAVE, OPE. STILL TO COME ON MIDDAY, SHAREMARKET AND BUSINESS NEWS, THEN IN SPORT ` IS SERENA WILLIAMS ON HER WAY TO HER FIFTH WIMBLEDON SINGLES TITLE? AND CYCLING'S NEW YOUNG STAR WINS HIS SECOND STAGE ON THE TOUR DE FRANCE. 1 WITH ME NOW IS JULIA GARDINER FROM CRAIGS INVESTMENT PARTNERS. THE NEW ZEALAND MARKET UP AGAIN FOR THE THIRD DAY THIS WEEK ` SO WHAT HAVE BEEN THE HIGHLIGHTS? BLACK ROCK INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT HAVE BOUGHT MORE OF TELECOM TOWER AND ACC HAVE PURCHSED A HOLDING SOME NUMBERS FOR THE MONTH OF JUNE OUT FROM THE NEW ZEALAND EXCHANGE, TELL US ABOUT THE NUMBER OF TRADES AND THEIR VALUE. THE VALUE FOR THE YEAR WAS DOWN BY 11% BUT THE VOLUME OF TRANSACTIONS WAS UP BY 6% AND OFF-SHORE, AMERICAN MARKETS GETTING SOME ECONOMIC DATA ` WHAT'S THE NEWS THERE? THE ECOMOMIC DATA WAS THE FACTLORY DATA UP ABOUVE EXPECTATION ON FRIDAY THEY'LL HAVE THEIR EMPLOYMENT DATA IN EUROPE THERE WILL BE DECISIONS IN INTEREST RATES THANK YOU JULIA GARDINER FROM CRAIGS INVESTMENT PARTNERS. IN TENNIS, BRITAIN'S ANDY MURRAY OVERCAME A SECOND RAIN DELAY TO SECURE A SPOT IN THE MEN'S QUARTER FINALS AT WIMBLEDON. BUT DEFENDING WOMEN'S CHAMPION PETRA KVITOVA IS OUT AFTER BEING BEATEN IN STRAIGHT SETS BY SERENA WILLIAMS. THE BBC'S TIM FRANKS REPORTS. IT WAS BILLED AS A SINGLES MATCH, BUT ANDY MURRAY HAD TWO OPPONENTS TO BEAT ` MARIN CILIC AND THE ENGLISH SUMMER. SOME OF HIS RIVALS HAD FINISHED THEIR MATCHES YESTERDAY BEFORE THE DELUGE. AFTER THE FIRST RAIN DELAY, IT WAS MURRAY WHO MADE THE WEATHER. OH, PERFECT TOUCH. APPROPRIATELY ENOUGH, HE BEGAN SPRAYING WINNERS. CHEERING, APPLAUSE HE TOOK THE SECOND SET, 6-2. AND COME THE THIRD SET, THE CROAT FOUND HIMSELF BUFFETED BY RAW TALENT. FEW PLAYERS DO EXQUISITE TORMENT LIKE MURRAY. (CHUCKLES) OH, THAT WAS WICKED. AND FEW ZIP AROUND THE COURT LIKE MURRAY. CHEERING, APPLAUSE OH, MAGNIFICENT MURRAY. THE CLOUDS WERE GATHERING ONLY OVER CILIC. HE WAS ABOUT TO BE BLOWN AWAY. CHEERING, APPLAUSE MURRAY THROUGH TO THE QUARTER-FINALS IN STRAIGHT SETS, BUT WOULD IT HAVE BEEN MORE STRAIGHTFORWARD IF THE BRITISH PLAYER HAD BEEN UNDER COVER ON CENTRE COURT? I DON'T DESERVE TO PLAY EVERY MATCH ON THE CENTRE COURT. I'M MORE THAN HAPPY PLAYING ON... ON COURT ONE. BUT EVERY PLAYER WOULD RATHER PLAY ON THE CENTRE COURT, BECAUSE IT'S GOT THE ROOF, SO YOU KNOW YOU'RE GONNA GET YOUR MATCH IN. SO THAT'S WHY IT'S AN ADVANTAGE. AN ADVANTAGE FOR THOSE PLAYERS ALLOCATED TO CENTRE COURT, AND AT LEAST SOMETHING FOR THESE SOGGY CROWDS TO ENJOY. AND THAT WOULD INCLUDE SERENA WILLIAMS IN FULL SPATE AGAINST THE DEFENDING CHAMPION, PETRA KVITOVA. NOTHING WOULD PUT HER OFF. SERENA, FOUR TIMES CHAMPION HERSELF, THE FIRST OF THE WOMEN THROUGH TO THE SEMI-FINALS. CHEERING, APPLAUSE FOURTH SEED ANDY MURRAY WILL NOW MEET SPANIARD DAVID FERRER IN THE MEN'S QUARTER FINALS, AND SERENA WILLIAMS WILL FACE BELARUSIAN VICTORIA AZARENKA IN THE WOMEN'S SEMI-FINAL. AND THE TENNIS HIGHLIGHTS WILL BE TV ONE FROM 3PM THIS AFTERNOON. TOUR DE FRANCE ROOKIE PETER SAGAN HAS WON HIS SECOND STAGE OUT OF THREE, AND HE DID IT WITH A SHOW OF STRENGTH INSIDE A DEMANDING FINAL KILOMETRE TO THE COASTAL TOWN OF BOULOGNE SUR MER. SYLVIAN CHABANAL HAD A USEFUL LEAD AS THE FIELD STARTED THE FINAL KILOMETRE, BUT HE WAS CONSUMED BY THE PELOTON ON THE STEEP INCLINE TO THE FINISH. THERE WAS A 700M CLIMB IN THE LAST PART OF THE 197KM STAGE, AND SAGAN, IN GREEN, BROKE CLEAR ON THE FINAL CORNER TO WIN THE STAGE IN IMPRESSIVE STYLE. HE KICKS AGAIN. SAGAN GETS IT. CANCELLARA CLOSE ENOUGH ` PROBABLY A ONE-SECOND TIME GAP. NZER GREG HENDERSON FINISHED IN THE PELOTON, ALSO ONE SECOND BACK. OLYMPIC EQUESTRIAN VETERANS MARK TODD AND ANDREW NICHOLSON WILL BE JOINED BY BEIJING EVENTER CAROLINE POWELL AND NEW CAPS JOCK PAGET AND JENELLE RICHARDS IN THE HUNT FOR MEDALS AT THE LONDON OLYMPIC GAMES. THE OLYMPIC EVENTING TEAM WAS NAMED LATE LAST NIGHT IN BERKSHIRE, NEAR WHERE MOST OF THE ATHLETES LIVE. EUROPE CORRESPONDENT GARTH BRAY WAS THERE. 24 YEARS AFTER COLLECTING HIS SECOND GOLD MEDAL AT THE SEOUL OLYMPICS, MARK TODD IS HEADED FOR HIS SEVENTH OLYMPIAD. COULD HE HAVE IMAGINED THIS, ALL THOSE YEARS AGO? UH, ABSOLUTELY NOT. WHEN I WENT TO L.A I WAS ONLY DELIGHTED THAT I'D FINALLY MADE IT TO AN OLYMPIC GAMES, HAVING MISSED OUT ON MOSCOW, AND NEVER DREAMT THAT I'D STILL BE DOING IT IN 2012. WHEN MARK TODD RODE IN HIS FIRST OLYMPIC EVENT, WHEN MARK TODD RODE IN HIS FIRST OLYMPIC EVENT, THE TEAM'S NEWEST CAP WAS 3 YEARS OLD ` BUT CHANCES ARE, SHE WAS WATCHING. IT'S QUITE SURREAL, REALLY. AS A CHILD GROWING UP I WATCHED MARK AND ANDREW. I USED TO GET UP AT, GOD, ALL HOURS IN THE MORNING IN NZ` DRAG YOURSELF OUT OF YOUR COT. (GIGGLES) JENELLE RICHARDS MADE THE FINAL FIVE AHEAD OF LUCY JACKSON. THE 31-YEAR-OLD FROM MOTUEKA BRINGS A REPUTATION AS A SOLID FINISHER IN ALL CONDITIONS. AND WILL SUPPORT THE TEAM, RATHER THAN FOCUS ON AN INDIVIDUAL MEDAL. NZ'S GOT A VERY VERY STRONG TEAM. I THINK WE HAVE A REAL-LIFE CHANCE OF MEDALS AT THE OLYMPICS. ANDREW NICHOLSON'S HOPING FOR BRONZE AGAIN, OR BETTER, BUOYED BY A FIRST AND A SECOND AT THE WEEKEND'S THREE-STAR EVENT IN NEARBY BARBARY, THAT SHOWED PLENTY OF THE WINNING FORM HE HOPES TO REPEAT NEXT MONTH IN LONDON.

RYDER HAS WEIGHED IN AT 104.4KG. REALLY STOKED AT WHAT I'VE JUST WEIGHED IN AT. I STARTED OFF AT 110 FOUR WEEKS AGO, SO 104, YOU KNOW, IS A BIG STEP FOR ME LEADING UP TO THIS FIGHT.
