Zimbabwe's Prime Minister asks us to lift sanctions against his country. What did John Key have to say? And startling confessions ` The Boss opens up, revealing his struggles with deep depression and how he self-medicated. Kia ora, good evening. Six years after the violent deaths of the Kahui twins, their father could still face charges. Police are reviewing the evidence after a coroner's report singled out Chris Kahui as the prime suspect, despite being cleared of the killings. Lisa Owen has more. No one's ever been held accountable for killing these babies, but now coroner Gary Evans has singled out their father, Chris Kahui, in connection with their deaths. He found that Chris Kahui was the only person who was present when the fatal injuries were inflicted. Specifically, the coroner's report says the head injuries 3-month-old Chris and Cru suffered happened while they were in the... He found Mr Kahui's evidence was... His actions were... And Chris Kahui's allegation that the twins' mother, Macsyna King, hurt them is... I would just like to think that the people across the board in NZ who were so quick to treat her so badly really look long and hard at themselves. However, despite the coroner's findings, law changes since Mr Kahui's murder trial mean he can't be tried again for the killing of the twins. The double-jeopardy rules mean simply he hadn't be tried again for murder or manslaughter or infanticide of the children. The night the twins were injured, others were at the house with Chris Kahui, but the coroner categorically rules two of them out as suspects, but highlights the fact Chris Kahui was alone with the babies for at least three minutes before they became extremely unwell. I say it's time for Chris Kahui to man up and tell the truth. ONE News wanted to speak on camera to Chris Kahui and ask who he now claims is responsible for the babies' deaths. We couldn't reach him, but briefly spoke to his wife. I just want to know how Chris feels about being singled out as the person who injured his twins. No comment, thank you. In this statement, Chris Kahui rejects outright the coroner's findings, saying they're completely inconsistent with the verdicts in his trial. Chris Kahui continues to deny any involvement in what he describes as the 'tragic and untimely death of the twins'. However, the coroner's report says Chris Kahui did not feed the babies for up to 24 hours and hid the fact they were seriously ill and refused to take them to hospital, which could leave the door open to further criminal charges. They may want to consider charging him with failing to provide the necessaries of life for the twins. The police say they're still reviewing the evidence from the coroner's inquest. Lisa Owen, ONE News. Another consequence of the Kahui case is an admission there needs to be better communication between government agencies. This from Kim Vinnell. Anti-abuse posters now plaster the corridors of Starship Hospital in Auckland, where the Kahui twins spent their final hours. It's an awareness campaign that experts say isn't just for parents. For a lot of health professionals, if they're uncertain they may tend not to report because they don't want to create unnecessary trouble. Child-abuse expert Dr Patrick Kelly gave evidence at the Kahui inquest. Both he and coroner Gary Evans agree health professionals should be required by law to report suspected child abuse. Child protection is complex, it's demanding, it's stressful and it's difficult to do, so health professionals, like everybody else, often tend to avoid it. While the coroner says mandatory reporting of suspected child abuse is the way forward, the Green Party says that could put parents off bringing their children into hospital in the first place. Social Development Minister Paula Bennett also isn't convinced and says there are strong arguments on both sides We currently get about 150,000 notifications, about 50,000 of which need follow-up. That means, actually, 100,000 of them are what we would call false positives and don't need a response. Imagine if you increased that by another 100,000. Coroner Evans also recommends all district health boards have dedicated child-protection teams, although the basis of such teams already exists. Every DHB has a CYFS social worker appointed to the DHB. All DHBs have family-violence programmes. One thing all agree on is the need for better information sharing between welfare agencies. Do you think that all government departments and systems are adequately sharing? No, but we are making significant changes in the next few months. Those changes will be explained in the government's child-abuse white paper due out later this year. Kim Vinnell, ONE News. A coroner has floated the idea of mandatory high-visibility clothing and compulsory use of cycle lanes for cyclists. The ideas were raised at one of a series of nationwide inquests into a spate of cyclist deaths. Briar Wells reports. For Jane Bishop, a ride home from work proved fatal when a parked car's door opened before her and she swerved into traffic, falling under a truck. Now a coroner has heard city planners were advised of the safety risk for cyclists on Auckland's notorious Tamaki Drive four years before the accident. In my opinion, the Auckland City Council's actions were a significant contributing cause of the death of Jane Mary Bishop. Transport planner Bevan Woodward says he urged Auckland Transport to remove car parks on the road in 2006 because they created a dangerous 'pinch point'. It became apparent from my discussions with Auckland Council staff that due to budget considerations, council were not going to implement any of the recommendations on my report. Auckland Transport did remove the parking spaces two days after Jane Bishop's death, even though an independent review found the road layout did not contribute to the crash. The agency has further plans to make Tamaki Drive safer, including a city-bound cycling lane. Any modification beyond that will be extremely expensive and will require significant road widening. The coroner is also considering new road rules for cyclists, such as making it mandatory to use cycling lanes where they're available and to wear high-vis reflective gear. Cycle helmets are compulsory, and yet there are a percentage of the population that refuse to wear, for whatever reason, cycle helmets. This crash investigator of 30 years told the coroner the best key to safety is still common sense. Briar Wells, ONE News. The Royal Commission of Inquiry into the Canterbury earthquakes has heard that a section of soil beneath the CTV building was known to be 'soft'. The site had been inspected prior to the building's construction in 1986, and a report detailed the findings of 13 bore holes drilled to determine the make-up of the soils below. Original interpretation was that most of the site had a gravel layer at that 4m depth. But there was one area in the north-east quadrant, I call it, that gravel was absent, and therefore regarded as a softer area. The CTV building collapsed last February, claiming 115 lives. The commission will continue to hear evidence on the possible causes of its failure for the next three weeks. This country could soon be lifting its sanctions against Zimbabwe, imposed a decade ago against the brutal regime of Robert Mugabe. It follows a plea by Zimbabwe's visiting Prime Minister, who once ended up in hospital for opposing Mr Mugabe. Political editor Corin Dann has more. When the then opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai suffered a brutal beating at the hands of the Mugabe regime, NZers were outraged. Five years on, he bears no grudge and wants the world to move on. Revenge should not be an agenda. I think what we should do is reconciliation, rebuilding and reconstruction. But he says Zimbabwe's cash-strapped economy can't grow while financial sanctions are in place. The reason why we are facing this financial squeeze and financial liquidity problems is because of the sanctions. The IMF, the World Bank will not deal with us. The Prime Minister says he'll consider lifting sanctions, but first wants to consult with Australia. However, he accepts Mr Tsvangirai has a compelling case. If there free and fair elections held in Zimbabwe, and therefore a free and open voice can be given to the people of Zimbabwe, why wouldn't the global community respond in kind? It was after the disputed election in 2008 that Mr Tsvangirai entered a power-sharing agreement with arch-enemy President Robert Mugabe. Mr Tsvangirai says the two foes have developed a 'working relationship' and they will now contest another election next year. And he's hopeful the reward of sanctions being lifted will be enough of an incentive for President Mugabe to play fair. He will accept the result. I don't see any reason why he should plunge the country again into another dispute. John Key says it's possible NZ could also help by sending observers to the election. Corin Dann, ONE News. The Syrian conflict has escalated sharply, with the regime using fighter jets as it tries to regain control of the economic capital, Aleppo. Rebels have taken large parts of the city, boosting their confidence. The BBC's Ian Pannell is with the rebels in the city. A warning: his report contains images of casualties. We joined a convoy on a highly dangerous mission to Aleppo ` driving around army checkpoints; sneaking along back roads; headlights off to avoid being seen; passing under the nose of government troops and into Syria's second city, where the insurgency has found its loudest voice... GUNFIRE ...and the battle is at its most fierce. ALL CHANT, SHOUT Many here are desperate for the rebels to succeed, clamouring for freedom denied by their president. But as the rebels take over this district, many fear what you're really seeing is an Islamic takeover that'll unleash a whirlwind of division and bloodshed across this region. Hundreds; perhaps as many as a thousand rebel fighters have now pushed into this part of Aleppo City. As you can see, they've set up burning barricades to try and protect this particular district. There's a police headquarters and an intelligence office up the road, and their fear is that reinforcements will head from downtown Aleppo. (SPEAKS ARABIC) GUN FIRES BOTH SPEAK ARABIC By daylight, rebel snipers take to the roofs, copying army tactics. They control a number of districts and are ready to defend them. GUN FIRES It was another day of intensive fighting as the fighters tried to extend their control and seek revenge... GUNFIRE ...against men they accuse of being Shabiha ` members of the brutal government militia. There's little justice on either side here. GUNFIRE Losing Aleppo would be a potentially fatal blow to President Assad, and today the fight-back began, with helicopter gunships firing at rebel positions. But even with a tank they'd captured from the army,... the fighters are vastly outgunned. But what happened next marked a dramatic escalation. For the first time, fighter jets took to the skies, arcing through the air and strafing the ground ` GUNFIRE a mark of how desperate the government's become. But the last word goes to the victims ` to the wounded and to the dead. This woman almost looks like she's sleeping. But she was killed today by an artillery shell. Only the victims are blameless here. And however this ends, there will be more of them. Just ahead, Tonga turns on to solar power with a helping hand from NZ. And The Boss reveals his battle with depression. 1 Batman star Christian Bale has travelled to Colorado to comfort victims of last week's movie theatre massacre. They were watching his latest movie when they were gunned down. Bale also visited the flower memorial to the 12 people who were allegedly shot dead by James Holmes. Tonga's dependency on diesel fuel could soon be ending, and that could herald an economic transformation. Tonga imports and burns nearly 500,000 litres of diesel a year to keep the lights on. Pacific correspondent Barbara Dreaver explains. Electricity is a luxury many Tongans just can't afford. Yeah, it's very hard for the people to pay the power. It's expensive. A small community project has provided over 60 underprivileged homes with solar panels which can power three lights and a phone charger. It may not seem a lot, but to these squatters who are not in the power grid at all, it means everything. It's very very happy. And other Tongans are going to be happy with cheaper electricity bills thanks to a NZ-funded solar-energy development. The project is expected to provide around 4% of Tongatapu's power. A major impediment to investment here is the cost of electricity, so it significantly limits the growth opportunities over time. We're going to change that. Up until now, the power grid has been driven by imported diesel alone, and that's come at a huge cost. You're talking about, say, NZ$8m to NZ$9m a year, and that's paid for by our customers. So the more we can reduce, the better. The solar project has meant the first price cut has just been announced ` a reduction of 4% to 6%. Diesel is such an expensive commodity here that moving from fossil fuels to renewable is actually much more viable. In the next six years, the kingdom expects to produce half of its electricity from renewable resources. The cost of electricity here in Tonga is amongst the highest in the Pacific. So solar power will mean savings for those who need it the most. With NZ playing its part in helping provide a better life for Tonga's future generations. Barbara Dreaver, ONE News, Nuku'alofa. For nearly 40 years, we've known Bruce Springsteen as The Boss; the confident extrovert performing three-hour gigs. So it may come as a surprise that Springsteen, like many, is afflicted by self-doubt and depression. The ABC's Bob Woodruff has more. # Gonna have some fun. Have some fun tonight. # Bruce Springsteen has been on fire for more than 40 years. Now, at age 62, he just won't stop. But in a new interview with The New Yorker magazine, he opens up about his battle with depression and even thoughts of suicide, which he traces in part to his relationship with his parents, struggles he calls 'the subject of my life'. 'It's the thing that eats at me and always will,' Springsteen says. 'Those wounds stay with you and you turn them into a language and a purpose.' Springsteen has long told his audiences stories of his difficult relationship with his father, who himself suffered from paralysing depression, according to The New Yorker. The singer's own depression bubbled to the surface in his early 30s after the blockbuster albums like Born to Run and Darkness on the Edge of Town. # In the day we sweat it out on the streets of a runaway American dream. # In 1982, with a dark acoustic album Nebraska, he was falling deeper into depression. # So I guess it's just meaningless # in this world. # 'He was feeling suicidal,' his friend Dave Marsh said. 'He was on a rocket ride from nothing to something.' What helped him, he says, psychotherapy. He started seeing a therapist when the dark clouds gathered. Springsteen calls his time on stage, those marathon three-hour concerts, a kind of relief and self-medication. The Mona Lisa has intrigued the world for centuries. But who was the woman behind da Vinci's most famous painting? Historians in Florence think they might have found her, although her features are no longer quite so alluring. Archaeologists are trying to work out whether the skeleton at this monastery could belong to Lisa Gheradini, the woman believed to have inspired the Mona Lisa. Experts want to use the skull to reconstruct the face and compare it with the one Leonardo painted about 500 years ago. Just ahead,... # You stand tall. # You stand strong. # ...our Olympic songwriter takes her tunes to London. And things are looking up weather-wise as we head towards the weekend. The woman who wrote our official Olympic song The woman who wrote our official Olympic song is admitting to a few nerves ahead of her gig at the ceremony where NZ's flagbearer will be announced. Olympics reporter Paul Hobbs caught up with Sam RB as she took in the sights of London. # Gone! # In a city renowned for its street musicians, a busker from Auckland's Queen Street is still pinching herself that she's strolling the streets where the Queen actually lives. Yeah, it's like looking around a three-dimensional postcard, and I came here with images of Coronation Street and Come Dine With Me, so it was always going to be special. It's the first visit to London for Sam RB, whose song Stand Tall was chosen over 300 other entries to be our official Olympic song. # Cos you stand tall. # You stand strong. # Today she plied her trade in Piccadilly Circus, having performed throughout Europe on her four-week trip. But her biggest challenge ` performing at the black-tie dinner later this week where our Olympic flagbearer will be announced. I think it's going to be quite scary. But for a woman who's overcome mental-health issues, London's all about breaking new ground. So, let's try it from the beginning up until that point, please. She's done her share of gigs and busking, but Sam wanted something a little different and persuaded a leading London choir to join her in singing Stand Tall. # Cos you stand tall. # You stand strong... I think we'll be arrested for treason, in fact, you know, cheering on the Olympic team. # We wish you well. # A sentiment for a nation. Paul Hobbs, ONE News, London. Weather time now with Renee. Hi, everyone. A broad ridge of high pressure stretches from Australia to the south of the country. Meanwhile, low pressure systems whirl away over northern NZ and out to the east. It's a big of an eggbeater scenario as the counter-rotating systems direct moist east to strong north-east winds over much of the country, but the ridge eventually takes control. For weather, see onenews.co.nz And that's your weather. I'll see you tomorrow. That's it from us here on Tonight. Thanks for joining us. Pomarie. Goodnight.
