Hello, everybody. The fog's returned to Hamilton and Christchurch, but the aeroplanes kept flying as the sun took control. The frosts came too, snap-freezing Queenstown with minus-7, Dunedin Airport, minus-6 and Timaru, negative-3. But the big blue skies are here too, so stand by for more icy, raw nights. 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 Peter Williams and Miriama Kamo. Tonight ` a murderer's parents, going to jail but still not saying sorry. Emily Longley's mother gives us her verdict. Anti-terror raids scoop up more suspects ahead of the Olympics. What did they have in their car? And one win away from becoming a legend ` Andy Murray carries the hopes of a nation. The family of murdered Kiwi teenager Emily Longley say that they're still waiting for her killer's parents to show some remorse. It follows the jailing in Britain of Leigh and Anita turner. They've been sentenced to 27 months for trying to cover up their son Elliott Turner's crime. Kim Vinnell has reaction from the Longely family here and in Britain. Leigh and Anita Turner arrived at court with bags packed, forewarned they were on their way to prison. Watching from the other side of the world, the mother of the girl their son murdered ` a murder the pair tried to cover up. They'll come out. They have the rest of their lives to carry on living. Yes, they have to live with the fact their son is a convicted murderer, but we have to live with the fact that our daughter's life has been taken. The Turners denied their guilt throughout the trial, but covert recordings revealed their lies. Leigh Turner even destroyed a letter of confession his son had written within minutes of committing murder in the family's Bournemouth home. For those of Emily Longley's family who made it to the sentencing, it was a difficult day. Mr and Mrs Turner's son murdered my granddaughter Emily, our lovely shining Emily. They presented Mr and Mrs Turner with a dreadful dilemma. They made the wrong decision. Both asked for mercy in sentencing, as jail would mean foster care for Elliot Turner's younger brother. The judge replied that they should have considered that at the time they interfered in a murder inquiry. I'm sure they were very very shocked when Mrs Turner came down and found Emily's body in his bed, but then to concoct some sort of story to try and get their son off just made matters worse. Leigh Turner said his wife, Anita, discouraged him from going to police. Claims of remorse were hard to believe for the judge and for Emily Longley's family. It would have been nice if there was a message conveyed through their barrister that they were very sorry about what happened to Emily, but there was nothing. Emily's mother, Caroline, says while the family wanted to return to the UK to see Turner's parents sentenced, they'd only just returned to NZ, having made the trip to sit through the trial, hearing every detail of their daughter's murder. Elliot Turner's parents will spend 13 months in jail and the same again on parole. It is just another chapter in our lives, and it's the end of this chapter, but unfortunately there's no happy ending at the end of this story. Kim Vinnell, ONE News. The lower North Island's been rocked by a sizeable earthquake this afternoon. The 5.2-magnitude tremor south of Turangi was at a depth of 91km and was felt in Wellington. Locals described hearing a bang before the earth shook. Emergency services say there've been no reports of damage or injuries. Aerial search teams are looking for a helicopter carrying a NZer and two Australians in Papua New Guinea's rugged highlands. The Bell helicopter went missing yesterday en route to Mt Hagen. The search co-ordinator says the pilot did not issue a mayday or distress call. The NZ High Commission is offering consular assistance to the family of the NZer. Official documents just released reveal the amount of pressure put on two Labour ministers to grant citizenship to a Chinese millionaire. Shane Jones the associate immigration minister at the time has been demoted pending an inquiry. Now details have emerged of how he was lobbied by politicians from both sides of the House. Daniel Faitaua reports. Charged with falsifying immigration papers, Yong Ming Yan, also known as Bill Liu, walked out of court a free man back in May, escorted by a former MP. He's had enough. He's been vindicated. A judge has found him not guilty, and there should be a lot of apologies. Now documents released under the Official Information Act show former Labour MP Dover Samuels wrote a number of insistent letters to Immigration Minister Rick Barker in 2008 asking him to speed up the Chinese businessman's citizenship application. In one, Mr Samuels says the ongoing investigation by immigration officials into allegations made against Mr Liu and the delay in not getting a decision on his application was debilitating, highly stressful and in his view, akin to mental torture A letter was also written by the then senior National MP Pansy Wong saying the Department of Internal Affairs should commence considering Mr Liu's application due to his numerous contributions towards business and the community. We went to Mrs Wong's house for comment. Her husband told One News she wasn't home and wasn't involved in politics any more. The then Ethnic Affairs Minister Chris Carter also gave his support, saying Mr Liu had made significant investments in Auckland and elsewhere in NZ. The file was passed on to the Associate Minister Shane Jones for approval. I made a very difficult call. I've made that call; I've been maligned as a consequence. That's because his decision to grant citizenship is now the subject of an inquiry by the Auditor General after he ignored official advice telling him to turn down the application. I based my decision on humanitarian grounds. The papers also revealed that Dover Samuels conducted Mr Liu's citizenship ceremony. Dover Samuels wouldn't talk to ONE News on camera, but says he stands by what he wrote. Mr Samuels says in no way did he influence or pressure Shane Jones into rubber stamping Mr Liu's citizenship application. Shane Jones has not responded to our request for an interview. But Mr Jones has said he granted citizenship to Mr Liu, because his life would be threatened if he returned to China. His lawyers claimed that was because he was vice president of the Democratic Party. Daniel Faitaua, ONE News. British police have made more arrests in anti-terror raids ahead of the Olympics. They stopped a car packed with firearms and ammunition just a day after storming a house close to the main Olympic stadium. The ABC's Jeffrey Kofman has the latest. Three weeks tonight, the Olympics open. British police aren't waiting. Terror arrests now seem like a daily affair here. Seven more announced today, found with guns and ammunition in a car. That after six were arrested yesterday, some just blocks away from the Olympic Park. Among those arrested yesterday, a British-born Muslim convert, Richard Dart. subject of this BBC documentary. There's a prophecy that the Islamic state will take over the entire world. Today we met the extremist Muslim who converted Dart and taught him to believe that the world should be governed by Islamic law. So, you think, ultimately, he's not a violent man. I don't think they have anything on him apart from his views. With these Olympics pushing an extra million people a day through the heart of London, everyone is going to feel the impact, but clearly some in different ways than others. Imagine being asked to have anti-aircraft missiles positioned on your apartment rooftop. That is what is happening around the Olympic venues. No, I don't think it's acceptable, not on a place like this. Even Britain's biggest warship, on duty last year off the coast of Libya is being stationed here on The Thames. The government here is clearly determined to send a message to would-be terrorists ` don't even think about it. The latest terror suspects were arrested after a routine traffic stop. Students who took part in a heated protest in Auckland say they have struggled physically and emotionally in the wake of the police response. They say the independent police conduct authority is now investigating their complaint laid after a protest which shut down parts of the central city last month. 43 students were arrested, but just a handful were charged. We're not wasting anybody's time here. We're within our rights to protest. We were told that the police were going to facilitate the march. That's not what they did. In fact, within a few minutes they began shutting down the march in a really violent and traumatising way. The students say there'll be more protests against education cuts later this month. The deadline's approaching for public submissions on putting folic acid in bread. Plans to introduce it were shelved two years ago, and while it's back on the agenda, it remains a controversial issue. Renee Graham reports. Mika Single (11) loves school and soccer. But he struggles to do those things because he's had a serious condition since birth called spina bifida. I still remember my first time in hospital. It was when I was a baby. I had a huge hole in my back. Spina bifida and related conditions affect about 80 pregnancies a year. They are linked to low folic acid levels. The government is considering a plan to force bakers to fortify their bread products with folic acid. It's estimated the number of pregancies with these conditions will reduce by about one third if this goes ahead. Just to have another child, even one child, with less pain than my son would just be worth it. It really would. I'd do it in a heart beat If I could. Paediatrics specialist Dr Andrew Marshall says about 40% of fertile Kiwi women are low in folate. There's no way we can get the folic acid levels up high enough in the population to prevent this without introducing it into a common food source. The US, Australia and Canada already have similar programmes. But three years ago the government shelved a a proposal after a public outcry. The Bakers Association and Food and Grocery Council were against it, saying it was a 'mass medication experiment'. Both groups declined an interview, but the Food and Grocery Council responded with an email saying,... And that most countries implementing folic acid programmes are... NZ has little in common with the likes of Guadeloupe, Senegal, Togo, and Guatemala. Live a day in his life and then turn around and tell me it's mass medication that's not worth it. The public has one week to get its submissions on this controversial issue to the government. Renee Graham, ONE News. Q + A will have more on the folic acid question tomorrow, with experts from both sides of the debate. Christchurch's landmark pop-up container mall is on the move. The temporary shopping area's being expanded, and new buildings are emerging as reconstruction gathers momentum. Mike Thorpe has more. Christchurch's quake-torn CBD is still very much a work in progress, but that progress is growing ever more obvious. The ReSTART Precinct opened in October, and now, some nine months later, temporary containers are making way for new, permanent buildings. It's been quite a positive thing for the public that people will come back to the city. Businesses can trade effectively back in the city. And it's put that confidence back in the property developers to actually want to start rebuilding. As new building begins, current tenants move over fast. This clothing store was removed, relocated, rebuilt and reopened in just 36 hours. We're back up and running after a day and a half of being closed, really, and that's what ReSTART was all about ` was able to relocate us quickly. You know, it hurt to be closed over the 10-month break of the earthquake. The retail re-fresh will add up to 200m2 to the complex. Existing tenants are just as excited as shoppers with developments. Obviously shows things are moving forward, and the more new things that keep happening here brings in more people to check it out ` what new building's to come down, what's going up. We're getting people that never used to come into the city. They're now coming in. Confidence is coming back. Bringing crowds back to a place that many ran from and that few were permitted to re-enter is a challenge that the Christchurch City Council admits is difficult, but one it's willing to face. You're only ever are going to do it in the end by putting things there that people want to be a part of. So it's a chance to rethink, to re-evaluate. What people are looking for at the moment is the excitement of that creative, new world. And part of that attraction is a look back. Mike Thorpe, ONE News. Coming up next on ONE News ` the first high-ranking member of Syria's inner circle abandons the regime. Is Assad losing his iron grip on power? Water, water everywhere, and there's no end in sight. Flooding hits England as the Olympics look set for a damp start. And caught red-handed ` what American businesses are doing to cut down on staff theft. There are signs tonight Bashar al-Assad may be losing his iron grip on Syria's armed forces after a senior general and friend abandoned the regime. Brigadier General Manaf Tlass has fled to Paris after publically disagreeing with his leader over how Syria's civil war is being fought. The BBC's James Robbins reports. They were close ` close in age and in ideas. Bashar al-Assad and Manaf Tlaas. They trained in the army together. One became president, the other a general protecting the core of the regime. But then their response to protest drove them apart. GUN FIRES REPEATEDLY Reports suggest that General Tlaas tried to limit the bombardment of Rastan, his hometown. AUTOMATIC GUN FIRES He's apparently met some rebel commanders and possibly even made local efforts at reconciliation. The regime's response to all this? The general was frozen out of power until he decided to flee ` apparently to join other family members in Paris. And in Paris today, key figures lined up against the al-Assad regime under the banner of Friends of the Syrian People. China and Russia pointedly stayed away. But many countries hailed a defection they fervently hope will set a trend. We are seeing high level of defections every day. It is time to abandon the dictator, embrace your countrymen and women and get on the right side of history. So, to what extent is the al-Assad regime gradually losing its grip on power in Syria? Well, on the ground, evidence does suggest that government forces have lost control of more territory in recent weeks, particularly in eastern Syria. But unlike Libya, that doesn't mean the rebels have got there instead. BOOM! Violence seems to have intensified in recent days. BOOM! Activists claim this was Idlib today under further shelling. One high-level defection won't transform Syria,... but many more just might. Hillary Clinton has also urged delegates at the conference to tell Russia and China they'll pay a price if they continue to help President al-Assad. And two Syrian children have been killed and six other people injured after a fire broke out in a refugee camp in southern Turkey. Witnesses say a gas bottle used for cooking exploded, setting several buildings on fire in the crowded camp. There are now more than 35,000 Syrian refugees in camps in Turkey, with hundreds still arriving every day. Gunmen in Libya have fired at a helicopter carrying voting ballots, killing an electoral worker on the eve of elections. Voters go to the polls in an hour in the first national elections since the fall of dictator Muammar Gaddafi, who ruled for more than four decades. But the helicopter attack in the country's east comes as protesters there call for an election boycott, as the region will have fewer seats than the west in the new assembly. An outbreak of whooping cough in Britain has doctors considering a booster vaccination for teenagers. Almost 2500 cases of whooping cough have been reported in the UK this year, an increase of more than 100%. British children currently receive their last immunisation at around 4 years old. Giving boosters to adolescents is one thing that might help. There are other things too that could do and that are being looked into. They include immunising parents who've got newborn babies; immunising mothers when they're pregnant; immunising health care workers and so on. In NZ children are offered two booster shots at age 4 and then again at age 11. Torrential rain drenching much of central England and Wales looks set to stick around and could even affect this month's Olympic games. The downpours have caused millions of dollars of damage and forced the cancellation of dozens of events. The BBC's Jeremy Cooke reports. Will it never stop? The forecasters promised a month's rain in 24 hours, and nature is doing her best to deliver. Here in Breadsall it was torrential. 26.2mm in Derbyshire today alone. Drains were swamped as the waters rose. Some tried alternative modes of transport as desperate, last-ditch defences were put in place. On the east coast, the Filey Lifeboat crew were scrambled on an inland rescue mission as a caravan park flooded. For some though, the flash floods came and went in what felt like minutes. We flooded last August, and we've been out nine months, moved back in six weeks ago. We still haven't got our final settlement from our last claim, and now we've got a new claim. On the sporting front, yet another summer washout looms. Even the best drivers struggle in these conditions ` a track in Silverstone highly treacherous during practice for Sunday's British Grand Prix. Across much of the road network of England and Wales, it's been a nightmare ` spray and standing water, slow-going. In the short-term, there's no sign of an end to this wet weather, certainly for the next week or two. Beyond that, there's a lot more uncertainty in the forecast, but as far as we can see, the jet stream's gonna stay well south, and that means more wet weather well into July. Trying to spread some sunshine, Prince Charles visited Hebden Bridge, which flooded just two weeks ago. But even royalty can't hide the harsh reality of this washout summer. In Poland, a sudden heavy rain storm has caused a large river to burst its banks, flooding local towns and cities. The flash flooding has left dozens of people homeless and caused extensive damage to buildings and roads. Several are expected to take weeks to repair. Officials says the damage bill could run into the tens of millions of dollars and there are more storms in the forecast. To the day's weather now, and no fog today?! Nothing too disruptive, anyway. There were some isolated pockets in Hamilton and Whangarei, but they cleared quickly. Here's the hoar frost clinging to the trees behind the old Alexandra Bridge. This happens after days of freezing fog, with ice building on ice. For weather, see onenews.co.nz July anticyclones are so cold. The Idaburn Dam often freezes over, and these guys love it ` curlers. So-called because that's what their toes do when it's minus-7. I'll see you again after sport. Up next on ONE News ` smile, you're on hidden camera. If you're light-fingered at work, you might end up on the web. And famous faces in chocolate ` we're at Cadbury's celebration of the sweet treat. A small group of protesters sold the Prime Minister's Parnell home today in a mock auction in response to the government's asset sales. 'Aotearoa is not for Sale' members dressed up as millionaires as they walked through the upmarket Central Auckland suburb before auctioning off the mansion. Is it too little too late, do you think? I think that some people have been saying that, but I think it's important to remember that what parliament does, the streets can undo. The government's tried to push through policies before A further protest, which the organisers say will be much larger, will be held in Auckland next week. People in Dunedin have been spreading their wings for a good cause. Joyrides in these helicopters are raising money for Dunedin Hospital's neurosurgical unit. It needs $600,000 to continue operating in the region. The enormous turnout here gives an indication just how people feel one, about out unit, but also about having a ride in a helicopter. One of the helicopters is used to deliver critically ill patients to Dunedin Hospital. Ever wondered who keeps taking your sandwich at work or who's leaving rubbish on your lawn? Now with the growing accessibility of 'spy' technology you may just be able to find out. ABC's David Wright explains. A video vigilante using a hidden camera puts a face to the person stealing apples off his desk ` a hungry cleaning lady working after hours. The he shames her by posting her picture for the world to see on YouTube. It happens a lot. In Texas, police used a hidden camera to catch one of their own raiding the office fridge. The break room bandit was suspended 30 days without pay. I saw a plastic bag on the bush. This man busted one of his neighbours tossing bags of dog poop into his yard. The neighbour had to pay a hefty fine and clean up all the dog litter. The Hollywood Spy store caters to do-it-yourself spies. Business has gotten better. Once the recession hit, it actually rose up a bit, because people started stealing. The camera's right there. Where? The most popular item? A hidden camera alarm clock. Inside it there's a motion sensor, so it only records when somebody's in the room, but you look at this thing, you would have no idea it's not just an ordinary alarm clock. In fact, it even tells time. SQUEAKY VOICE: 6.45pm. The critical point to remember is that just because we have the technology to record those around us, doesn't mean that it's always legal for us to do so. In the case of the stolen apple, the video vigilante's bosses ordered him to take down the video. It's not illegal to install hidden cameras in NZ workplaces, but it's up to the courts to decide whether the footage can be used as evidence. Some of our most famous sportsmen and women have been portrayed in the sweetest of ways, kicking off Dunedin's Cadbury Chocolate Carnival. The Chocolate Hall of Fame is the centrepiece of the week-long celebration, so we sent Lacey Wilson to meet the artist adding the final touches to her works. Chocolate ` it's what some believe makes the world go round. And for the next week, Dunedin will be celebrating the milky goodness with the Cadbury Chocolate Carnival, opening today with a hall of fame, created by UK artist Prudence Staite, but instead of paint on canvas, Prue's medium is chocolate. I wanted my art to be something that was interactive, so working with chocolate and art were sort of my two passions, so I kind of fused them together and created a new art form called food art. The hall of fame honours NZ's 65 Olympic gold medal winners. I've been immortalised in chocolate, so I don't know how many people can say that they've done that, but having a look at them, they're awesome. The works took two weeks and 150kg of chocolate. I use chocolate like an edible paint almost, so I've got dark, milk and white, and you use the kind of contrasts to make silhouettes almost of people and basically melt a huge amount of chocolate and use individual chocolates and bits of bars and stuff like that as mosaic tiles, and the idea is that we'll eat them. With many thinking it's sweet as. I think they're amazing. I think they're great. Certainly a novel use of Cadbury chocolate. Chocolate lovers will be able to enjoy the carnival until Friday. Lacey Wilson, ONE News. Looking at our top stories tonight ` Elliot Turner's parents are spending their first night in jail after being sentenced to 27 months for attempting to cover up their son's murder of Emily Longley. The parents of the Kiwi teenager say they hope the sentence will give the Turners time to reflect on what they did, but their lack of remorse hurts. The search is continuing for a NZer and two Australians whose helicopter went missing in Papua New Guinea yesterday. The Bell 206 helicopter was flying to Mt Hagen when it disappeared in the rugged highlands. Searchers say no mayday or distress call was issued. Jenny-May's here now with sport. Wimbledon ` local hero vs Mr Popular? So, who will you be backing? The genius (30) or underdog (25)? Also on the way ` Test match intensity in Hamilton. The Chiefs-Crusaders match lives up to expectations, but which All Black could miss the final round? It's semi-finals time ` the Mystics get ready for the Harrison Hoist backlash in Melbourne. And Benji's outrageous banana kick is overshadowed by former Warrior Krisnan Inu's heroics. Kia ora. Welcome back. Roger Federer v Britain ` that's the scene for Monday morning's Wimbledon final. All money is on the Swiss master to beat British hope Andy Murray, but hold on a minute. The last time a Briton won Wimbledon was 35 years ago, the year of the Queen's silver jubilee. So, if you believe in signs, then Murray could be on the verge of his maiden grand slam. Here's Craig Stanaway. Roger Federer went into this morning's semi-final with one thing clear in his mind ` as great as he is, Novak Djokovic owns him. The world number one has beaten the Fed Express in six of their last seven matches. Today, though, was their first meeting on grass, and Djokovic, the defending champion, unbelievably surrendered the first set in 24 minutes. The most dominant player in the world over the last 12 months stepped up his game. The Serb served a near perfect 93%, taking the second set. Federer is now 30. The last time a player his age won Wimbledon was Arthur Ashe in 1975. To equal Pete Sampras' record of seven Wimbledon crowns, he had to dig deep. That's exactly what he did. He broke Djokovic in the 10th game of the third set to take a 2-1 lead. The best player in the world never mentally recovered. Within half an hour the best player of all time was serving for the match. It will be final number eight for the Swiss maestro. Federer is now one win away from the record he wants most. Win a seventh Wimbledon crown, he'll return to number one, the most weeks in history as top dog. A record unlikely to ever be beaten. There's obviously a lot on the line for me in terms of winning here, the all time grand slam record, world number one. So I'm also going into that match with some pressure. Not as much pressure as Andy Murray. His four-set victory over Frenchman Jo-Wilfred Tsonga makes him the first British Wimbeldon finalist since Bunny Austin in 1938. The BBC led their flagship 10pm news with six minutes on Murray, barely six seconds on Federer. It's obviously going to be a very tough match. While Murray's still to win a grand slam, he's won more than he's lost against Federer. Someone's going to remove a big monkey off their back Monday morning. Inspirational loose forward Keiran Read could be a casualty again after his Crusaders' tough 28-21 Super rugby win over the Chiefs in Hamilton last night. Read's latest injury in his return from concussion was the only downer as the Crusdaders avenged their third-round loss to the competition leaders. Here's Stephen Stuart. 11 All Black teammates brought Test match intensity back to the ground they starred on two weeks ago. Two of the Crusaders' returning gamebreakers combined brilliantly. Read! He provides, especially ball in hand. He's a real threat. He gets the ball across the advantage line. But this second-half surge left the All Black number eight writhing. I think he's done a rib so hard, I don't know whether he'll be all right for next week. Really hurting was the Chiefs' lineout with the late withdrawal of organiser Craig Clarke, while the return of Dan Carter lifted the visitors, who rattled on 20 points in as many minutes. Live and a try! The new All Black locks traded tries, and from long range Sona Taumalolo, the short-range specialist, went solo, seeking staggering ninth try for the season. But again the home side couldn't capitalise. Having survived this, Sam Cane was hardly going to concede to his counterpart. Try telling Andy Ellis he's not in the top four halfbacks in the country. Well, number four Tawera Kerr-Barlow might have. There you go, buddy. Yeah, that's the second go. It is. You can't do that. Try. Sonny-Bill Williams' response? Charging through five Crusaders to keep his side in the game. Zac Guildford gave them another chance, but the Chiefs' scrum was in reverse. However, they still dominated the final quarter. That's Crusader. When you're playing for your teammate; you're playing for the jersey, you have real pride in you D-line. Four minutes into injury time, Williams backed himself again. We had chances to steal a draw right at the end if we let the ball go. The Crusaders somehow hanging on 28-21 in what would have been a worthy final. It still could be next month. Meanwhile, despite a storming second half, the Highlanders' season is over. They outscored the defending champions the Queensland Reds two tries to one, but couldn't get the third they needed, losing 19-13 in Brisbane, ending Jimmy Cowan's 10-year Super Rugby career. Stephen Stuart, ONE News. In South Africa, the Sharks have kept their play-off hopes afloat with a 32-10 savaging of the Bulls in Durban. The blockbusting Bismarck Du Plessis gave the home side the early lead over the fifth-placed Bulls, and they looked home by half-time. Punching ever so slightly. McCleod, Petersen! WHISTLE BLOWS CROWD CHEERS They've gone upstairs. Shows us just great play from the Sharks. The Sharks snatched the vital four-try bonus point in the 78th minute to join the Bulls on 54 points, but trailing on differential. Former Warrior Krisnan Inu has done his old league side a huge favour as he inspired the Bulldogs to beat the Tigers. An outrageous Benji Marshall banana kick gave the Tigers the lead. It's gone back towards Beau Ryan, he scores! Has he done it? He's placing the corner post, and now the kick will come off the foot. Oh, I would've torn a groin doing that. His hands, his` I think he stole it off the Canterbury player as he comes down. Yeah, and then he goes in, Barba` Does he get the ball down? But Inu continued his sensational form for the Dogs to take them to the front. Inu gets another try for Canterbury! WHISTLE BLOWS What a freak of a purchase. And then his aerial skills wrapped it up for the Bulldogs 32-20, keeping them in second place while the Tigers will drop out of the top eight if the Warriors beat the Gold Coast tonight. Another superb ride from Greg Henderson has just failed to take his teammate Andre Griepel to his third straight stage win in the Tour de France. But that was overshadowed by the worst pile-up of the race so far ` 25km from the sixth stage finish in Metz. The tour chances effectively ended for several leading contenders, including last year's third palace getter Frank Schleck. This is absolutely carnage at the moment. Half the peloton seems to have been stopped here. Frank Schleck is the rider who can't find a bike. He's shrugging his shoulders. Meanwhile up front Henderson was leading, setting up his Lotto teammate Greipel for the final sprint. But sweeping past was Slovakian youngster Peter Sagan for his third stage win. Henderson was officially sixth. To have the best chance of winning netball's trans-Tasman championship, you've got to host the final. That's the challenge facing the Northern Mystics as they head into tomorrow's major semi-final against the Vixens in Melbourne. But the big question everyone is asking ` will they use their defensive weapon? And three all. Harrison! You are a freak! Round eight, the Harrison hoist was born. The defensive manoeuvre was unveiled in front of a stunned Melbourne crowd. This crowd can boo all they like. The jocking's absolutely disgraceful. Well, the Vixens will be looking out for it hopefully, because that's part of our plan they experienced first, so they'll be looking to combat it, but we can make that work in our favour as well. While Harrison remains under an injury cloud with a calf strain, the team will take confidence from their 49-45 upset win over the Vixens in Melbourne six weeks ago. The stakes this time though are much higher, with the winner hosting the grand finals in two weeks. We can't expect the same apples to fall from the tree. So we are very well aware semi-finals netball ` it's` You've got to elevate your game. There's a different sense of desperation to every ball. We've got to desensitise that and focus exactly on the actions required to getting the ball rather than getting all worked up and emotional about the game. Emotions are running high for the Mystics' pocket rocket Temepara George, with the 36-year-old calling time on her career at the end of the season. It's in the back of my mind, but, obviously, being experienced, you can put that behind you until we hold that cup up, and then it'll all come out after that. And in her glittering career, that's the only trophy George hasn't hoisted. The lone Kiwi aboard the Volvo Ocean Race victor, Groupama, still can't believe he's achieved a lifelong ambition. Martin Tasker caught up with Brad Marsh who conquered more than the elements during the nine-month yachting ordeal. For the 28-year-old from Auckland the race was a roller coaster of intense emotions which reached their climax with the dismasting of the French boat. The next thing we heard a very large bang, a very loud bang, and then in slow motion we saw the mast fall over the side. Worse was to come as they set about building a jury rig ` Marsh seriously injuring himself. As I had my arm against the mast, the knife had gone into the wrist, and I had to pull the knife back out of the wrist again. Marsh's stoicism and courage no surprise to his skipper, piling plaudits on his staunch bowman who won a seamanship award for his efforts. He's a good volunteer all the time. He's very brave. He never hesitates to go on the rig for example. I never see a guy like that. Marsh's recovery from injury was aided by some TLC from his appropriately uniformed girlfriend with whom he's now looking forward to spending more time. I was saying last night that I've spent more time with my watch buddy in the last nine months than I have with my girlfriend, so I think it's time to reverse that round. The race concludes with the final in-port race in Galway tonight. The Team NZ sailors on Camper looking to win the in-port series and secure second place overall. Martin Tasker, ONE News, Galway. The men's Black Sticks have taken advantage of some brand new technology at Auckland's Millennium before heading to London for the Olympics. But there's no fun testing it out as Olympic reporter Craig Stanaway explains. Heat chambers. This is one of a kind in NZ. Previously athletes would've donned ventilation masks to regulate oxygen and CO2 levels. These Black Sticks are being subjected to 35-degree heat at 60% humidity. But you could be forgiven for thinking, 'What for?' Especially considering they won't strike conditions anything like those in London. In laymen's terms it increases their capacity and their ability to handle stresses that go along with what they're doing on the turf at the pace and intensity that they're doing. Going in for a little short burst at a much higher temperature. It gives them a boost as if they were training for an hour. After 10 minutes the strain at 35 degrees is taking its toll. They should be thankful. The technicians are being kind to them. The maximum is 65 degrees, but we normally hold the maximum at 50 degrees. And the lowest we can go to is minus-5 degrees. 15 minutes is finally up. How enjoyable was that? Not so. I'm rooted, absolutely poked. Your head starts to go a little bit funny. You go into that dark place and keep going. How is this going to benefit the Black Sticks in London? Well, if we can run over teams and be fitter than them, then we've always got an advantage. How many litres of sweat do you think you've lost in 15 minutes? Um, 15 minutes ` probably 2 litres. Yeah, over in Malaysia we've been known to lose 4-5 in some games. Similar scenario in there. Heat chamber? Torture chamber more like it. Craig Stanaway, ONE News. And teenager Lydia Ko is the leading amateur at the midway stage of the US Women's Golf Open after firing an even-par 72 today. And wait for it... Sir Bob Charles has shot a 66 in Europe today. That's 10 strokes less than his age! After the break ` it's time to rug up. Jim has plenty of frost in the forecast. Hello? Guys, my throat's killing me. Don't let a sore throat hold you back. MAN: Not all throat lozenges are the same.

Strepsils ` deep-down relief for sore throats. WOMAN: Combine New Zealand's trusted brands so you don't lose a day. Hello, everybody. Yes, getting very cold now. Roxburgh and Clyde soon down to around minus-4; Feilding and Featherston zero. If the kids haven't seen a hoar frost? Sub-zero temperatures cause any water vapour to freeze on to any protruding frozen surface. For weather, see onenews.co.nz. Finally, the hoar frosts and the fog weren't the only big weather players today. The high's coming on and Inglewood's already taken a slice of the blue ceiling on offer. See you next time. And that's ONE News this Saturday. Q + A's here tomorrow at 9 with more on the folic acid in bread debate. But from the ONE News team, pomarie. Goodnight. Captions by Glenna Casalme and Hugo Snell.
