Howdy, everybody. The frost came, plunging Tekapo to minus-7 and Waiouru to minus-5. The racehorses trained in the fog and the mist, and then out came the sun. And it's back to work under a winter anticyclone with just a few showers around the fringes. The outlook for your place is coming up. 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 Bernardine Oliver-Kerby. Tonight ` the gambling couple banned after squandering millions on the pokies; why is SkyCity trying to lure them back? We have an exclusive report. A blow for those hoping to get rid of cheap booze from the man holding a vital vote. And, the bunting's up as London prepares to welcome the world, but it's been a rough journey. Kia ora. Good evening. A riot squad has been dispatched to a Northland prison after inmates staged a protest. Unrest broke out this afternoon at the Northland Regional Prison at Ngawha, near Kaikohe. Paul Hobbs is in our Auckland news room with details. Paul? A NUMBER OF PRISONERS STARTED THIS, SETTING FIRE TO CELLS CAUSING DAMAGE AFTER A LOCKDOWN THIS AFTERNOON. THE MANAGER OF PRISONS SAID IT WAS OVER IN 30 MINUTES BUT A RIOT SQUAD HAS BEEN DESPATCHED, RELOCATING SOME PRISONERS TO OTHER PRISONS A woman legally barred from Auckland's SkyCity casino is appalled the company's trying to coax her back by sending her text messages. Selina Watson's husband is in jail after gambling away more than $5.5m of stolen money. The casino subsequently issued a two-year trespass notice against the couple. Lisa Owen's been investigating and now joins us live. Lisa? Tomorrow night Lisa looks at how SkyCity identifies problem gamblers, and asks why it's keeping mum about its research into gambling habits. Plans to put a minimum price on alcohol in a bid to stop binge drinking appear to have been sunk. United Future leader Peter Dunne, who would hold the deciding vote in the House, has ruled out supporting a possible law change. It was touted as a solution to binge drinking like this. But getting rid of cheap booze doesn't appear likely. I don't support a minimum pricing regime as currently proposed. With those words, United Future leader Peter Dunne's effectively killed plans to put a minimum price on alcohol. Which I think is remarkably elitist, to say that we'll have a minimum price of $12 for a bottle of wine because people who can't afford to pay $12, shouldn't pay a lesser price. But that is exactly the problem according to some ` alcohol is just too cheap. At this supermarket the cheapest we could find? $6. If it came to it, Peter Dunne would hold the deciding vote in a parliament split right down the middle. The Labour Party's drafted a proposal to liquor laws which has drawn the support of all parties on the left. We know that many many people are not responsible because we have large numbers of deaths associated around alcohol. But on the right, even though the the government's asked Justice Ministry officials to investigate whether a minimum alcohol price would help, the Prime Minister's unconvinced. Instead of buying a $10 bottle of wine that might go to $15, they'll buy a $5 bottle of wine that'll cost $10. Their outlay is the same. The quality of what they're buying is worse. Labour's yet to respond to the news that, thanks to Peter Dunne, its plans to get rid of cheap booze are essentially dead in the water. The search continues for a helicopter missing in Papua New Guinea with a NZer and two Australians onboard. The Bell 206 went down in dense bush while flying from a drilling rig to Mt Hagen. The men worked for the helicopter company, Helilift, which has seven choppers involved in the search. A Mayday message was sent from the missing helicopter, but no signals have been picked up from its emergency beacon. The NZer hasn't been named. The outlook for those seeking rental accommodation in Christchurch is grim, with the latest figures showing rent skyrocketing by 26%. But Housing NZ is trying to relieve some of that pressure, today holding an open day for its latest temporary village. A temporary community for those needing a home. 20 two-bedroom units, all self-contained: water, power, telephone, broadband, a bit of car parking, and people can bring pets. Rawhiti Domain Village in New Brighton is the third temporary village to open in Christchurch since February's quake. To be eligible for one of these 20 two-bedroom units, your house needs to be in repair or in the red zone. Valerie Hill is just one of many needing somewhere to live, and wants to stay near her community. We thought it might be ideal for us because we live near, you know. We're not far away, and if we had to move somewhere, it's not too far. Having to move out of her house for four months, Valerie still wants to keep her routine. We could carry on as normal as what we're doing now. Over 500 people looked through the village today, indicating there's a lot of people looking for a home. We'll acknowledge there's some pressure on the rental market, and this is about supplementing and taking a little bit of that pressure off. With the three villages, there are now 83 houses that are now being supplied by the Crown to help take a little bit of that pressure off. Latest figures released by Trade Me shows rent is up on average 26% compared to the national rise of just 4%. Supply is up when we look at short-term rentals. That's always the driver to increase asking prices for rental as well, and of course there's a lot of that in Christchurch. With families having to move out of their homes for short periods while they're rebuilding, rental prices may stay this way for a while yet. It's just 19 days until the year's biggest sporting event, and the first Olympic volunteers have started work. Nicknamed Team Heathrow, the volunteers are aged from 18 to 80 and speak more than 20 languages between them. They'll help welcome thousands of athletes, spectators and VIPs arriving in London, including the 182 NZers selected to compete so far. London will be the first city to host the Olympics three times. Venues have all been completed on schedule, but the journey to the Games has been turbulent. Olympic reporter Paul Hobbs begins our nightly countdown to London 2012. The games of the 30th Olympiad in 2012 are awarded to the city of London. Jubilation at the Singapore announcement, and simultaneously in London's Trafalgar Square. July 6 2005, and London contracts Olympic fever. But the next day euphoria turned to despair. Four suicide bombers struck on the city's underground and bus system, killing 52 innocent people. London's road to 2012 would be rocky. A vast wasteland in East London was earmarked for the Olympic stadium. A large fire didn't disrupt development, but Beijing's glittering success set the bar high for London. We are going to give those sports an Olympic games to do Britain proud, to do London proud, and to do the world proud. However, the global financial crisis meant London's Games were tagged 'the Austerity Games', but as London's Olympic skyline began to take shape, the inevitable budget blowouts followed. The original pricetag of about $5bn was revised in 2007 to around $20bn, though some say it could double that. If last year's royal wedding proved London could put on a show to remember, then surely the lawlessness and riots that sooned followed were a major blot many would be keen to forget. But this is a city that's shown resilience throughout its history. London and Britain have delivered all their Olympic venues well on schedule. Many have hosted test events. 2012 promises to be London's year. There's a real sense of anticipation, not only about the Games themselves and the scale and size that they are, but also that Britain's ready. The Queen's Diamond Jubilee setting the mood for celebration. There may even be a British Wimbledon champion. With the flags of the world flying on London's Regent Street, the city now just awaits the world's athletes, and all the drama and excitement they will provide. Tomorrow in our Olympic countdown, Europe correspondent Garth Bray investigates just how ready London is. Coming up on ONE News ` America's east melts under a relentless heatwave. Now it's turned fatal. We have the latest from New York. While in Russia, too much rain is the problem as flash flooding tears through the south. And ` fresh developments in the death of a Hollywood heavyweight. Nah, I'm good, mate. I'm good. Ohhh. Ohhh. May I help you, sir? Ohhh. May I help you, sir? Hey, bro. I'm Tim. From NZ. I won the, uh... the MasterCard prize, where you get to tour with the All Blacks. Fellas! Oh! Danny C! Oh yeah! Nonu, Nonu, Nonu! Boom! Richie. Bring it in, mate. Register and use your MasterCard before September 15 and you could go on tour with the All Blacks. Good to see ya. Good to see ya. Yeah, you too. So, who am I rooming with? More than 30 people are believed to have died in a summer heatwave affecting more than half the population in the USA. Extreme warnings are in place tonight in 22 states after a day that in many places brought temperatures of more than 40 degrees. On 104th St in New York City, the sun was dropping, but the temperature wasn't. We were sweating like we went to the gym, but we really didn't. Fortunately, though, Dad had a paddling pool. Uncle had a barbecue. A day of cooking is not too bad. And someone else had a spanner. It's very cold and refreshing when you're hot, and even better than a beach. For those not cooling off, temperatures in more than 20 US states were dangerously high. Extreme heat and humidity are more than just an inconvenience. They are dangerous and can also be deadly. In Chicago, health officials went door to door after at least two people died. They didn't have air conditioning in 38-degree heat. It's like an oven. It's like being in a microwave or something. In some states, railways twisted, buckled roads became launching pads. We wait all winter and we say we can't wait for summer. What did you expect? It's hot. But even the tropical animals were struggling. In a Minneapolis zoo, this tiger moved into the polar bears' pad to cool off. Several states have now set up official cooling centres to help those worst affected by the heat. But authorities say the best advice they can give is to drink plenty of water and to exercise a bit of common sense. Tomorrow, though, is set for another scorcher. So suck up that watermelon, but don't bother letting down the pool. Jack Tame, ONE News, New York. Torrential rains and flash flooding in Russia have killed more than 100 people and left thousands more homeless. Emergency teams from Moscow have been rushed into the worst-hit areas of the Krasnodar region. It's been described as the worst natural disaster in the area in living memory. Such was the force of the floods, there were rumours that the gates of a reservoir had been opened. Some of the dead were electrocuted when a transformer fell into the water. Others drowned in their beds. Witnesses said the waters rose suddenly in the middle of the night, catching people unawares. Thousands of homes were flooded. Worst affected was the town of Krymsk. The floods have caused landslides and widespread disruption to transport services, as well as the biggest port on the Black Sea. President Vladimir Putin is expected to visit the worst-hit areas, as officials investigate how it was that so many people, including a child (10), died. In China, more than 200 people are homeless after floodwaters destroyed the only bridge to their village. Firefighters used a rope to rescue stranded residents before the rising waters swept the bridge away completely. Gunmen have disrupted voting in some eastern cities in Libya, killing one person near a polling station. Despite that, turnout has been high in the country's first free elections since Muammar Gaddafi seized power more than forty years ago. The BBC's Wyre Davies reports from the capital, Tripoli. Almost there; Libyans have been waiting an awfully long time for this moment, so a few minutes more outside the polling station this morning mattered little. At the front of the queue, 29-year-old Hashem al-Sharif. Hashem was a fighter based in this very school during last year's revolution. Very happy to be one of the first guys that is going to give his vote. Almost desperate to vote after 40 years in the democratic wilderness. But with thousands of semi-independent candidates standing, the choices aren't straightforward. Indeed, the true political nature and direction of the new assembly might not be known until it meets and new alliances are made. Notably in this conservative Muslim country, there were almost as many women voting as there were men. The role and prominence of women in the new political structures will be critical. Here in the capital, things have gone perhaps even better than expected today. At this polling station, people are really enthusiastic about the chance to vote for the first time in their lives. In the eastern city of Benghazi, this polling station was attacked by armed men, and some here called for an election boycott, saying the system is biased towards Tripoli. But the overall response in Libya today has been peaceful and positive. The United Nations envoy to Libya says the disruption in the east is unlikely to undermine the credibility of the election. While in Jordan, sparks weren't the only thing sent flying during a televised debate on the war in Syria. SHOUTING IN ARABIC After flinging his shoe at a rival politician, MP Mohamed Shawakbeh pulled out a gun as the debate descended into a brawl. It's alleged he also threatened to kill his opponent, who was arguing in favour of President Bashar al-Assad's crackdown. Now we go to the day's weather on what's been a beautiful day. But it sure has been cold! Yep. Auckland down to 1 last night, with heavy frosts and fog patches through the hinterland. Now to our weather cameras. For weather, see onenews.co.NZ All aboard Springfield for Arthur's Pass ` yes, you can catch a vintage steam train from Canterbury up into the Alps. Back with your weather for the working week after Andrew. Up next on ONE News ` was it accidental or something more sinister? The LA coroner takes another look at the death of Natalie Wood. And sunning himself in suburban Auckland ` what happened to this seal on a city break? There's been a significant development in a long-running Hollywood mystery: the drowning of actress Natalie Wood in 1981. Her cause of death is officially no longer an accident, again focusing attention on the actions of the boat's skipper, and her husband, actor Robert Wagner. The ABC's Bazi Kanani has the details. A stunning star remembered for the way she lit up the screen, and for the mystery surrounding her drowning death in the waters near Catalina Island more than 30 years ago. Tonight, new reports are that the LA Coroner's Office has changed Wood's death certificate from accidental to undetermined. Investigators reopened the case last year after the boat's captain came forward to change his story. It wasn't lying, it was just merely not telling them everything. Dennis Davern said Wood and her husband, actor Robert Wagner, were fighting on the boat that night. Davern said Wagner refused to let him turn on the searchlights to look for Wood after realising she was missing. Wagner has always maintained his wife's death was an accident, telling Diane Sawyer in 2008 he thinks she fell. What we think is that she went outside and slipped on the swim step, and hit her head. The 1981 autopsy also found bruising on her arms and legs, which has long fuelled whispers about foul play. But earlier this year, investigators say they have found no new evidence to support that. I think they're stuck, and there doesn't seem to be any smoking gun in this case. The Los Angeles coroner's office still believes Natalie Wood drowned, but the question remains why. Winter's not the ideal season for catching some rays, but Auckland has become 'the' place to be for a number of sun-loving aquatic animals. Paul Hobbs went out to meet one such visitor who needed a helping hand to find his way home. They love to swim, but who can resist a spot of sunbathing, especially at this time of year. The problem, though, for this baby fur seal was choosing the right location. I don't think he realised the potential stresses that could arise from hanging out at a off-leash dog park. But fear not, this little fella seemed to make friends easily with the locals. It was swimming with some dogs in there and was getting pretty close to the kids in the water, and just came up in the afternoon and beached itself up there, rolled around in the sun and posed for photos and things. But the pup's 24 hour city break was about to end, courtesy of the man with the big net. We don't like to interfere with Mother Nature too much, but in this case we had to. Still drawing a crowd even in transit, the SPCA says it's received a number of calls in the past few days about seals taking in the winter sun around Auckland. This one is happy to catch a short lift home to the Manukau Harbour. Well, he doesn't seem to fazed at all. There we are, little fella. A few lazy twists and turns, and his holiday is over. Shame he can't take the holiday snaps with him. Paul Hobbs, ONE News Looking at our top stories tonight ` A specialist containment unit has been sent from Auckland to Ngawha Prison in Northland after a serious incident. Prisoners protested and set fire to cells after a forced lockdown. The situation's now contained. SkyCity says it will apologise to banned gamblers who received text messages enticing them back to the casino. A woman who put millions through SkyCity is angry she received the messages. She worries others in her position may not be able to resist the temptation. Andrew's here with sport. And a big trans-Tasman showdown has just finished? The latest from netball next, as the queen of another arena enhances her reputation as one of the greatest. Plus, how the latest rugby results affect the Super playoffs, a certain second-five is set to confirm his future, while another centre of attention keeps the NRL warm for Sonny Bill's return. Nearly 18 months ago, Serena Williams' tennis career seemed all but over. In hospital with a life-threatening blood clot in her lungs, it seemed just playing again would be a miracle. Today she completed an incredible return to the top to claim the Wimbledon women's title. Here's the BBC's Ian Moss. 10 years have passed since Serena Williams's first Wimbledon singles title. Numerous major honours have come her way since, but a decade doesn't diminish determination. When Agnieszka Radwanska made the mistake of missing her first serve early on, this is the treatment her second got. The American's power and touch, combined with crestfallen Radwanska, saw the first set go Serena's way for the loss of a single game. The showers came, but fears of a Serena storm subsided in the second, as the Pole held her opening game. But after a tournament record 90th ace thundered down, Serena got the break. Radwanska refused to get rattled, though. Her best point of the match helped her break back and go on to draw level. The errors which had crept into Serena's game in the second, were conspiciously absent in the decider. She broke Radwanska twice to get within touching distance of the Venus Rosewater Dish. After the next game, it was the American's once more. I, uh, almost didn't make it. A few years ago I was in hospital. Now I'm here again, and it's so worth it, and I'm so happy. And, also, you've got five of these trophies now, so at least you can match the Wimbledon trophy cabinet of Venus now. I've always wanted everything that Venus has had, so... LAUGHTER Oh, thank you too, Venus, for your advice during the rain delay. Um, but I had to copy you again, so,... (LAUGHS) sorry. So where does Serena stand in the annals of tennis history? Her Wimbledon victory lifts her to 14 Grand Slam titles. That has her fourth on the all-time list during the Open era. The great Steffi Graf is unlikely to be overtaken, with 22. Serena's also won 15 Grand Slam doubles titles, including the Wimbledon doubles last night with sister Venus. We thought waiting 24 years for a Rugby World Cup win was tough. Tonight British sports fans are hoping Andy Murray can end 76 years of pain by becoming the first Briton to win the men's singles since Fred Perry in 1936. The tent cities sprang up early for hopeful fans, although the positivity wasn't exactly overwhelming. Um, I hate to say it, but I think he'll lose. If he wins a set, then we'll be very pleased. And you can watch that match between Murray and Roger Federer live here on ONE from 1 tomorrow morning. The Warriors are back inside the NRL's top eight after beating the Gold Coast Titans 32-14. In a game highlighted by outstanding attack, a blockbusting centre has again caught the attention. Here's a bunch of Kiwis on the Gold Coast with substance, and a touch of style. Malony runs into it looking for support. He finds Hurrell. Centre Konrad Hurrell's score in their opening set of six was a sign of things to come. But the promising start was soon clawed back by the injury-ravaged Titans. This time he goes straight for Mead for the corner. The speed of David Mead! And the lead looked ominous. The Warriors' problem defence leaked three tries in 10 minutes. But they finally plugged the holes, forcing the Titans into 14 errors and pegging them back behind their line. Mateo goes out the back. Johnson showing it. A lovely dummy, then the strength to get across. Momentum then moved wider. Hurrell outplayed his more fancied opposite ` million-dollar man Jamal Idris. And stepping and monstering his way to the try line. Shades of Sonny Bill, who Hurrell will face next season in the NRL. The 20-year-old started a Warriors 16-point blitz in the second half. Hurrell has a hat-trick. He left the field soon after with an ankle issue, but should be OK to torment the Broncos next weekend. The Warriors far too strong for the Titans, 32-14. The Manly Sea Eagles look set to move to third in the NRL after heaping more misery on the Stephen Kearney-coached Parramatta Eels. The defending champions were welcoming back David Williams from injury, but it was the Eels who were putting out the welcome mat with almost monotonous repetition. He scores his second. He's got support. He might not need it. A hat-trick for David Williams. David Williams has try number four! Manly clocked off in the second half, but still won 40-18. To Super rugby, and the Stormers have won the South African conference title and kept the heat on the Chiefs at the top of the table. Against the battling Cheetahs in the rain at Bloemfontein, the scored a hard-fought 13-6 win. Gio Aplon is all on his own here, he just needs the bounce to score! There it is. In Sydney, the Brumbies scored a crucial 19-15 win over the Waratahs, their first in the city for 10 years. Don't worry, we haven't forgotten the Blues, although most of their fans have by the look of things at Eden Park. They've put on a three-try burst against the Force in a 32-9 victory, just their third of the season. Far from extinct, there was a rare sighting of Ma'a Nonu, on a football field for the first time in over a month. So the Blues result has no bearing on the local conference, the Crusaders and Hurricanes still second and third. Overall, only the Chiefs and Stormers are confirmed for the playoffs. The Stormers could still claim top spot in the last round. Next weekend, all seven matches will have a bearing on the playoffs. The Reds and Hurricanes sit just outside the top six. Sonny Bill Williams will reveal his future plans tomorrow. The Chiefs and All Blacks second-five has called a media conference for Hamilton just before midday. Williams has lined up a deal to play for the Panasonic club rugby team in Japan and then early next year return to NRL league with the Sydney Roosters. Add in boxing bouts, and he'll be on around $2m for the next 18 months. If it's a done deal, he's likely to have appeared in his last test for the All Blacks, at least for the next couple of years. The leader's yellow jersey has changed hands after the first summit finish on cycling's Tour de France. Swiss Fabian Cancellara has worn the leader's jersey since the prologue a week ago. But stage seven's 200km trek from Tomblaine up to La Planche was a day for the hill climbers. Kenyan-born Chris Froome claimed his first stage win. This is unbelievable for Africa. This is unbelievable for Kenya. Chris Froome creating a bit of a surprise here this afternoon. Gets the win, Phil. Froome's Sky teammate Brad Wiggins hanging in just behind for third to take the overall lead. The Black Caps have been dealt another thumpinig as their winless West Indian cricket tour continues. Once again it was Chris Gayle who dominated, giving the Jamaican crowd a display of his power-hitting with nine sixes and eight fours. And that's gone over the top again. It's easily hit. Just no effort in that shot at all. Very easily shot over the head of long-off. His 100 off 88 balls took him past Brian Lara as the West Indies' most prolific century-maker. He went for 125, but with Marlon Samuels also reaching a ton the Windies cruised to 315/5. In reply, Martin Guptill went for 51 and Kane Williamson for 58, effectively styming any hope. BJ Watling battled to 72 n.o. as the rest of the lower order was whittled away. The Windies won by 55 runs, taking a 2-0 lead in the five-match series. Team NZ has secured its podium place in the Volvo Ocean Race. A second placing in the final in-port race has left Camper second overall, an unlikely outcome just a few weeks ago. Martin Tasker reports from Galway. At the start of the final in-port race, it looked initially like Camper was going out in a blaze of glory as the red boat led off the line. Camper off the line. The fleet are clear. A good, clean start by the Kiwis. But a big wind shift on the first leg saw Puma leap into a lead that they would carry around the track, while Camper engaged in a furious battle with overall race winner Groupama. After swapping places three times, the Kiwis finally edged the French boat at the final mark to take second spot and secure second overall. It's the easiest race in the world to lose, this Volvo Ocean Race, and to be runner-up when we've had quite a few troubles on the way. I'm very very happy and proud of this team. Sentiments echoed by the boss. The solidarity, which I've talked about a lot of the guys throughout the whole campaign, and even in adversity, has been remarkable. They have just stuck together and plugged away at it. Given Camper's speed issues, second place is some achievement. It still smacks of unfinished business, though, but Team NZ says it's too early to say if they will go again. Their focus is now 110% on the America's Cup. The offshore sailors savoured the moment, ending nine months of life at the extreme. Netball's major semi-final in the trans-Tasman championship has just finished at the Rod Laver Arean in Melbourne. Auckland's Northern Mystics were trying to gain automatic entry into the grand final. Here's Mark Hathaway. A relaxed Mystics outfit took to the court in maroon, and were the first to get into the groove. The Vixens were the first to face the infamous Harrison Hoist in round eight, and it came back to haunt them towards the end of the first quarter. There's the hoist. We wondered if we'd see it. That's the only time the lift was used, with Anna Harrison not always needing help as the Mystics moved away by four at the end of the first quarter, Then there was drama, as dynamo centre Temepara George and teammate Jade Clark clashed. And a collective groan around the arena. And a collective sigh of relief for Mystics fans as the pair shook it off. The Vixens, struggling with Harrison's defence, were forced into errors. Big call. Huge call, and they've got time to score from this. Fluent mid-court progression and Maria Tutaia's clinical finishing ensured they would, and finish the half 29-24 up. The all-important third or championship quarter, and the Vixens woke up. Cathrine Latu, who'd only missed 8 goals the whole season before this game, was suddenly flustered. Not a perfect shot ` what was that? The Vixens drew level, and it would remain level at the end of the quarter. The Vixens had the momentum early in the fourth. She's kept her head, Karen Howard. But she just about had it taken off by the Mystics. The Mystics, though, were losing their heads as the pressure began to tell, while up the other hand, the Vixens held it together. Five goals down with less than five to go` Too tall it was, with the Vixens' composure too much. they'll face the winner of tonight's minor semifinal between the Magic and the Thunderbirds. Thanks, Andrew. After the break ` more cold, frosty nights. Jim's here with your forecasts. And we meet tonight's Good Sorts, heading up a family of 500. Hi again. Get ready for more frosts and foglights overnight. Thermometers are already running out of mercury, but when you get these sunrises, it's all worth it. For weather, see onenews.co.NZ For weather, see onenews.co.NZ For weather, see onenews.co.NZ So we're fine in most places tomorrow, Tuesday, Wednesday. The kids can get up to more of this. Keep the fires burning. Tonight's Goodsorts are a husband-and-wife combo with a family the size of a small village. James and Heather Tuhoro have shared their home and their lives not just with their children but hundreds of foster kids. Hadyn Jones went to Hamilton to meet tonight's goodsorts. James Tuhoro's school run is competitive. You want a good park, and today James has pole position. If you make it too late, you won't make it. You will have to stay on the other side of the road. Now, James' kids aren't his own, but he treats them like they are. How did school go? All right? I can't believe that I'd end up looking after children. It's the best thing I ever walked into. We're home, dear. Once home, Heather takes over, and the rules are clear. Once the homework is done, TV can go on. James and Heather have fostered at-risk children for 18 years. Ooh, they're nice and soft. Almost unbelievably they are on their 500th child. Some stay for a while. Some don't. Some come and go. You never know how long you've got them for. Now, we can't show you the faces of the beautiful children Heather and James look after, but I can show you what their faces look like. Like that, but with another eye. 500 foster children is an amazing number and a sad number too. Heather says some arrive in quite a state. Some children don't know how to use a knife and fork. They have only ever used their fingers. And we had one group of young children here who used to go into the pantry and fill their schoolbags full of all the food they could find because they thought they weren't going to get another feed. This is my two sisters. Heather and James know about family. James courted Heather seven years before marrying her and having their own little family. Were you having a try before you buy, James? (LAUGHS RAUCOUSLY) That was 43 years ago, and James is lucky. He has Christmas and birthday sorted. Most of these here, James has bought me over the years. Because Heather is infatuated with dolphins. They are beautiful creatures, and I just love them. Heather is the boss and James is the softie, but together they make it work. We just love what we do and knowing we can give these kids a safe place to come to, and we just keep on doing it. James and Heather Tuhoro say their greatest satisfaction is when the children leave. Bye, guys. See ya. They know they are on the right track. Hadyn Jones, ONE News. And if you want to nominate a goodsort, got to our website: onenews.co.nz/goodsorts And that's our bulletin.
