TONIGHT, WE REVEAL THE NAMES OF THE TWO KIWI SOLDIERS KILLED IN AFGHANISTAN. A GIANT STEP FOR NASA AS A CAR-SIZED SPACECRAFT CALLED CURIOSITY TOUCHES DOWN ON MARS. AND A SPECTACULAR START FOR VALERIE ADAMS AS SHE DEFENDS HER OLYMPIC TITLE. ALL THE LATEST, LIVE FROM LONDON. KIA ORA. GOOD EVENING. THE NAMES OF THE TWO NZ SOLDIERS KILLED IN AFGHANISTAN HAVE BEEN RELEASED. THE MEN WHO DIED ARE LANCE CORPORAL PRALLI DURRER AND LANCE CORPORAL RORY MALONE. BOTH WERE PART OF A NZ CONTINGENT WHICH CAME UNDER ATTACK SOUTH OF DO ABE, IN BAMIYAN PROVINCE. BOTH 26, BOTH LANCE CORPORALS, BOTH DIED IN BATTLE. PRALLI DURRER AND RORY MALONE WERE TODAY NAMED AS THE TWO KIWI SOLDIERS KILLED BY RIFLE FIRE DURING A THREE-MINUTE FIGHT ON SATURDAY NIGHT. LANCE CORPORAL DURRER, A LIGHT-ARMOURED VEHICLE COMMANDER, WAS STANDING, HIS HEAD AND TORSO EXPOSED, WHEN SHOT. HE WAS THE ONE WHO DIED DURING THE EVACUATION. OF NOTE, LANCE CORPORAL MALONE RECEIVED HIS FATAL INJURY AS HE WAS GOING TO ASSIST THE COMPANY COMMANDER WHO HAD BEEN INJURED IN THAT FIRST ROUND OF FIGHTING. THE DEFENCE FORCE IS YET TO NAME THE SIX OTHER SOLDIERS WOUNDED IN THE ATTACK, BUT SAYS FIVE WILL BE TRANSFERRED TO A MILITARY HOSPITAL IN GERMANY. THE OTHER ONE IS UNDERSTOOD TO HAVE BEEN SHOT IN THE NECK AND IS STILL IN A SERIOUS CONDITION AND CAN'T YET BE MOVED OUT OF AFGHANISTAN. HE WILL NEED A CRITICAL-CARE UNIT TO MOVE WITH HIM ONCE HE IS STABLE ENOUGH TO BE DEPLOYED BACK TO GERMANY. THE NZ TROOPS WERE CALLED IN WHEN AFGHAN SPECIAL POLICE TRIED TO ARREST A SUSPECTED INSURGENT BOMB-MAKER. KIWI PATROLS ARRIVED AT THE COMPOUND, UNAWARE THE WELL-ARMED FIGHTERS WERE LURKING IN THE HILLS. THIS WAS NOT US BEING TARGETED BY THE INSURGENTS COMING THROUGH. WE ASSESS THAT THEY WERE TRYING TO PROTECT THEIR BOMB-MAKER FROM THE NDS, AND THAT OUR QUICK RESPONSE CAUGHT THEM ON THE HOP. A GROUP OF 17 INSURGENTS WERE SEEN FLEEING BACK TOWARDS NEIGHBOURING BAGHLAN PROVINCE CARRYING THEIR DEAD AND WOUNDED, BUT IT'S NOT KNOWN IF THE SUSPECTED BOMB-MAKER WAS KILLED. LIEUTENANT GENERAL JONES SAYS IT'S CLEAR THE ENEMY TOOK A BATTERING DURING THE FIGHT, BUT HE SAYS THAT MEANS LITTLE IN THE FACE OF NZ'S DOUBLE FATALITY. BOTH MEN LOVED THE ARMY, AND BOTH SIGNED UP AS TEENAGERS. WEARING THIS UNIFORM WAS PRALLI DURRER'S BOYHOOD DREAM. IT WAS AN ADVENTURE. THE ARMY, TO PRALLI, WAS A MEANS TO AN END ` TO DEVELOP AS A PERSON; AS A YOUNG MAN. HE WAS ORPHANED AT A YOUNG AGE AND BROUGHT UP BY HIS AUNT AND GRANDFATHER. UNBELIEVING THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO OUR BOY. AT 18, HE GOT AN EXTRA FAMILY WHEN HE JOINED THE ARMY. HE SERVED IN TIMOR L'ESTE IN 2006 AND THREE YEARS LATER MOVED TO THE ROYAL NZ ARMOURED CORPS. HE WAS PROMOTED TO LANCE CORPORAL THE NEXT YEAR AND HAD BEEN ON HIS FIRST DEPLOYMENT TO AFGHANISTAN SINCE APRIL. HE WAS DOING WHAT HE WANTED TO DO. A SENTIMENT SHARED BY FELLOW SOLDIER LANCE CORPORAL RORY MALONE, WHO JOINED THE ARMY'S RESERVES IN 2002. THREE YEARS LATER, HE SIGNED UP FOR THE REGULAR FORCES. SINCE THEN HE'S SERVED IN TIMOR L'ESTE TWICE AND WAS PROMOTED TO LANCE CORPORAL LAST YEAR. THIS WAS ALSO HIS FIRST DEPLOYMENT TO AFGHANISTAN. HIS FAMILY SAY... HE ALSO LEAVES BEHIND A PARTNER, WHO IS IN THE ARMY AND CURRENTLY SERVING OVERSEAS. WE INSIDE THE DEFENCE FORCE ARE DEEPLY SADDENED WITH THIS LOSS. THE MEN'S FAMILIES HAVE BEEN OFFERED A FULL MILITARY FUNERAL, AND IF THEY ACCEPT, THEY'RE LIKELY TO BE HELD HERE AT BURNHAM MILITARY CAMP. LANCE CORPORAL PRALLI DURRER'S FAMILY HAVE ALREADY TOLD ME THEY'VE ACCEPTED THE OFFER AND IT'S LIKELY TO BE HELD LATER IN THE WEEK. THE MEN'S BODIES ARE DUE BACK IN THE COUNTRY ON WEDNESDAY. IT'S BEEN REVEALED A DRAUGHTSMAN WITH LITTLE EXPERIENCE DREW THE PLANS FOR CHRISTCHURCH'S ILL-FATED C.T.V. BUILDING. THE EVIDENCE AT THE ROYAL COMMISSION OF INQUIRY FOLLOWS AN EARLIER ADMISSION THE BUILDING WAS THE DESIGNER'S FIRST HIGH-RISE. TWO FORMER ALAN REAY CONSULTING DRAUGHTSMEN STRUGGLED TO REMEMBER THE PROJECT AT ALL. < AND YOU DON'T BELIEVE YOU WORKED ON THE C.T.V. BUILDING, BUT YOU DON'T REALLY RECALL? HONESTLY, I DON'T RECALL THE BUILDING FULL STOP. WHEN I WAS CONTACTED BY THE ROYAL COMMISSION EARLIER THIS YEAR, I HAD NO RECOLLECTION OF BEING INVOLVED IN DRAFTING THE C.T.V. BUILDING. IT WAS EVENTUALLY AGREED A THIRD DRAUGHTSMAN DO THE JOB, DESPITE BEING THE LEAST EXPERIENCED. HE'LL GIVE EVIDENCE LATER THIS WEEK. THE GOVERNMENT COULD FACE ANOTHER HURDLE BEFORE IT GETS ITS SALE OF SHARES IN MIGHTY RIVER POWER OFF THE GROUND. THE MAORI PARTY SAYS THE GOVERNMENT'S AGREED TO MEET WITH A NEW BODY BEING SET UP TO DEAL WITH MAORI WATER RIGHTS ISSUES FOLLOWING A MEETING WITH THE PRIME MINISTER. IT TOOK A WHILE TO ESTABLISH THAT THEY WOULD, BUT I GUESS IF THE IWI LEADERS ARE PART OF IT AND BACKING IT 100% THEN THE GOVERNMENT WILL TALK. DESPITE THIS, PITA SHARPLES SAYS IT'S 'LIKELY' THE GOVERNMENT WILL FACE COURT ACTION AGAINST ITS SALE PLAN. MR SHARPLES SAYS HE ALSO TOLD JOHN KEY HE'S DISAPPOINTED WITH THE WAY HIS GOVERNMENT IS HANDLING THE WAITANGI TRIBUNAL AND THE WATER RIGHTS ISSUE. ARTWORK FROM BEHIND BARS BY MAORI ACTIVIST TAME ITI IS SET TO BE SOLD AT AUCTION. HE'S SERVING TWO AND A HALF YEARS FOR FIREARMS CONVICTIONS. BUT WITH HIS APPEAL STILL TWO WEEKS AWAY, HE NEEDS THE MONEY TO PAY FOR LEGAL BILLS. STRAIGHT FROM CELL NUMBER 31 ` TAME ITI'S ELDEST SON REVEALS HIS DAD'S LATEST ARTWORK FROM THE INSIDE, SET TO BE SOLD OFF, ALONG WITH WORK FROM 73 OTHER ARTISTS, TO RAISE MONEY FOR HIS LEGAL BILL. THIS AUCTION IS KIND OF AN OPPORTUNITY FOR PEOPLE TO SEE THAT, ACTUALLY, HE HAS KIND OF CONTRIBUTED QUITE A BIT AND PEOPLE ARE WILLING TO GIVE BACK TO THAT. ITI'S BEEN PAINTING FOR MORE THAN A DECADE NOW, BUT THIS COLLECTION IS SOMEWHAT UNIQUE. HE DIDN'T HAVE ACCESS TO GLUE AND CERTAIN MATERIALS, SO HE'S HAD TO USE THINGS LIKE TOOTHPASTE. MY ADVICE TO TAME WHEN HE FIRST LOOKED AT BEING AN ARTIST WAS TO GIVE UP EVERYTHING ELSE AND JUST PAINT. OF COURSE, HE DIDN'T DO THAT, BUT I'M QUITE IMPRESSED. TAME ITI'S SERVING HIS 2� JAIL SENTENCE FOR FIREARMS CONVICTIONS AT WAIKERIA PRISON. BUT, ALONG WITH THE GROUP DUBBED THE UREWERA FOUR, HE'S STILL FIGHTING TO CLEAR HIS NAME, APPEALING BOTH HIS SENTENCE AND CONVICTION. UP UNTIL NOW, BOTH TE RANGIKAIWHIRIA KEMARA AND TAME ITI HAVE USED LEGAL AID TO PAY THEIR BILLS, BUT THIS APPEAL PROCESS, WHICH HAS BEEN RUSHED THROUGH TO BE DEALT WITH LATER THIS MONTH, IS LIKELY TO COST AN ESTIMATED $50,000 ` MONEY THEY'RE HOPING TO RAISE FROM THE AUCTION. THE WORKS ALL GO UNDER THE HAMMER NEXT WEEK. TO THE OLYMPICS NOW, AND TIME TO GO TO SIMON IN LONDON, WHERE VALERIE ADAMS IS GETTING HER OLYMPICS UNDER WAY. THAT'S RIGHT, MIRI. VALERIE HAS KEPT A LOW PROFILE IN HER BUILD-UP TO THE GAMES, TRAINING IN SWITZERLAND BEFORE COMING TO LONDON. AND WE HAVE TO HOPE SHE'S BEEN COMPLETELY UNFAZED BY NEWS TODAY THAT SHE'D SOMEHOW BEEN LEFT OFF THE OLYMPIC START LIST. FORTUNATELY, THAT WAS QUICKLY SORTED BY NZ OFFICIALS, AND TONIGHT THE DEFENDING OLYMPIC CHAMPION IS AMONG COMPETITORS ON THE FIELD IN THE OLYMPIC STADIUM, WHERE THE QUALIFYING ROUND OF THE OLYMPIC SHOT PUT IS UNDER WAY. ADAMS' SECOND THROW WAS WELL PAST THE 18.9M QUALIFYING MARK AND GOOD ENOUGH TO SEE HER THROUGH TO THE FINAL. EARLIER, USAIN BOLT PROVED ONCE AGAIN HE'S THE FASTEST MAN ON THE PLANET ` LIGHTING UP THE STADIUM BEHIND ME HERE WITH A STUNNING WIN IN THE 100M FINAL. HERE COME THE AMERICANS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TRACK. A VICTORY THAT PUTS THE WORLD'S FASTEST MAN ON AN EVEN BIGGER PEDESTAL. USAIN BOLT BECOMES THE GREATEST 100M RUNNER IN HISTORY! THAT TRADEMARK SALUTE FROM SPRINTING'S ULTIMATE SHOWMAN SENT 80,000 FANS AT THE STADIUM INTO A FRENZY. WILD CHEERING JAMAICANS IN LONDON ARE DELIRIOUS... FANTASTIC! WORDS CAN'T DESCRIBE! IT'S WONDERFUL. WE EXPECTED IT, BUT IT'S THE KIND OF THING THAT YOU HOLD YOUR BREATH UNTIL IT HAPPENS. ...AND GOING NUTS AT HOME. THESE PICTURES WERE CAPTURED IN KINGSTON BY OUR US CORRESPONDENT JACK TAME. BOLT ALSO GOT THE JUMP ON HIS MUCH-HYPED FELLOW JAMAICAN YOHAN BLAKE. THE 22-YEAR-OLD RECEIVED THE SILVER IN 9.75 SECONDS ` THE WORLD'S FOURTH FASTEST. AMERICAN JUSTIN GATLIN, WHO SERVED A FOUR-YEAR SUSPENSION FOR DOPING, GOT THE BRONZE. I TOLD YOU GUYS` MY COACH SAID, 'STOP WORRYING ABOUT THE START. 'THE BEST PART OF YOUR RACE IS AT THE END. THAT'S WHERE YOU RULE.' SO I STOPPED WORRYING ABOUT THE START AND I EXECUTED, SO IT WORKED. BOLT BECOMES JUST THE SECOND SPRINTER TO RETAIN HIS 100M TITLE AFTER AMERICAN CARL LEWIS, WHO WAS PROMOTED TO GOLD WHEN BEN JOHNSON FAILED A DRUG TEST IN SEOUL IN 1988. WHAT SETS BOLT APART IS HIS SCORCHING TIMES. HE SET AN OLYMPIC RECORD IN WINNING IN 9.63 SECONDS, THE SECOND QUICKEST EVER AFTER HIS 2009 WORLD MARK OF 9.58. THAT IS THE MOST INCREDIBLE PIECE OF SPRINTING THE WORLD HAS EVER SEEN. AND HE NOW HAS THE CHANCE TO ACHIEVE SOMETHING LEWIS NEVER DID ` BACK-TO-BACK OLYMPIC GOLD IN THE 200M, WHERE HE'S THE FAVOURITE. SO GET SET FOR MORE CELEBRATIONS LIKE THIS ON THURSDAY. NOW, OUR WOMEN'S HOCKEY PLAYERS WERE LOOKING FOR A DRAW OR BETTER AGAINST HIGHLY RATED GERMANY TONIGHT TO GIVE THEM A GOOD SHOT AT THE SEMI-FINALS. THE BLACK STICKS, PLAYING IN WHITE, CAN THANK KEEPER BIANCA RUSSELL FOR NUMEROUS SAVES AGAINST THE HIGHLY RATED GERMAN ATTACK. NZ WERE IN CONTROL IN THE CLOSING MINUTES FOR A DRAW THAT ENDS GERMANY'S OLYMPIC CAMPAIGN. THREE WEEKS AGO, NZ GOT WHIPPED BY GERMANY ` 5-1. THEY HAVE COME BACK HERE AND MATCHED THE GERMANS. THEY'VE SUCKED UP SO MUCH OF THE PRESSURE. THE BLACK STICKS ARE NOW THROUGH TO THE SEMIS, WHERE THEY WILL FACE THE WORLD-NUMBER-ONE NETHERLANDS. OUR KAYAKERS BEGAN THEIR OLYMPIC QUEST ON THE WATERS OF ETON DORNEY THIS MORNING WITH THE K1 AND K2 1000M HEATS AND SEMI-FINALS. FORMER WORLD CHAMPION BEN FOUHY LOOKED COMFORTABLE AS HE FINISHED SECOND IN HIS HEAT. AND FOUHY IN SECOND PLACE. GOOD, POSITIVE START FOR THE KIWI IN THE K1 1000. IN THE K2, STEVEN FERGUSON AND DARRYL FITZGERALD RECOVERED FROM LAST AT HALFWAY WITH A STRONG FINISH AND ARE ALSO THROUGH TO THE SEMIS, ALTHOUGH WELL ADRIFT OF THE WINNING HUNGARIAN DUO. ON A MORNING THAT SAW VALERIE ADAMS QUALIFY FOR THE SHOT PUT FINAL, THAT'S IT FROM ME HERE IN LONDON. BACK TO YOU, MIRI. NOW TO THE DAY'S OTHER MAIN NEWS. NASA IS CELEBRATING ONE OF ITS GREATEST TRIUMPHS IN SPACE. A CAR-SIZED SPACECRAFT CALLED CURIOSITY TOUCHED DOWN ON MARS JUST A FEW HOURS AGO. SCIENTISTS BELIEVE IT COULD ANSWER AGE-OLD QUESTIONS ABOUT LIFE ON THE RED PLANET. THE ABC'S LISA MOSLEY HAS MORE. FIRST, THERE WAS A MAN ON THE MOON, NOW THERE'S SIX WHEELS ON MARS. NASA'S MISSION CONTROL ROOM ERUPTED IN CHEERS WITH CONFIRMATION THAT THE CAR-SIZE ROVER, CURIOSITY, HAD LANDED SAFELY ON THE RED PLANET. MINUTES LATER, THE FIRST PICTURES. IT'S SURREAL! IT'S SURREAL! CURIOSITY, THE MOST SOPHISTICATED ROVER EVERY BUILT IS NOW ON THE SURFACE OF THE RED PLANET WHERE IT WILL SEEK TO ANSWER AGE-OLD QUESTIONS ABOUT WHETHER LIFE EVER EXISTED THERE ON MARS OR IF THE PLANET CAN SUSTAIN LIFE IN THE FUTURE. IT TOOK THE ROVER MORE THAN EIGHT MONTHS TO GET TO MARS AND A NAIL-BITING SEVEN MINUTES FOR THE ENTRY, DESCENT AND LANDING. CURIOSITY SLAMMED INTO THE RED PLANET'S ATMOSPHERE AT 20,000KM/H SLOWING DOWN WITH THE HELP OF A HYPERSONIC PARACHUTE. A ROCKET-POWERED CRANE GENTLY LOWERED THE ROVER TO THE MARTIAN SURFACE. FIRST OF ALL, JUST LET ME SAY THANKS VERY MUCH TO THE ENTIRE TEAM. ALL THE TEAM'S NOT HERE. SOME OF THE TEAMS ARE IN PLACES LIKE CANBERRA, AUSTRALIA, AND UP IN GOLDSTONE. THE TRACKING STATION AT TIDBINBILLA, NEAR CANBERRA, PROVIDED ALL OF THE COMMUNICATION FOR THE ENTRY, DESCENT AND LANDING. LITERALLY, BECAUSE OF THE WAY THE PLANET'S ALIGNED. MARS IS ONLY IN OUR SKIES. THE OTHER TWO STATIONS IN SPAIN AND CALIFORNIA ` THE PLANET'S IN THE WAY, SO THEY CANNOT SEE THE SPACECRAFT AS IT HEADS DOWN TOWARDS THE SURFACE. ABOUT 200 SPACE ENTHUSIASTS CRAMMED INTO THE VISITORS CENTRE TO WITNESS THE MODERN VERSION OF THE MOON LANDING. I'M STILL TRYING TO WORK OUT IF I'M SURPRISED OR NOT. I'M JUST ABSOLUTELY THRILLED THAT IT'S DOWN THERE IN ONE PIECE. I WAS SURE IT WAS GOING TO BLOW UP, BUT, REMARKABLY, IT DIDN'T, AND THE FIRST PICTURE LOOKS REALLY GOOD. CURIOSITY WILL SPEND THE NEXT TWO YEARS ANALYSING ROCKS AND SOIL FOR EVIDENCE THAT MARS MAY HAVE ONCE SUPPORTED LIFE. JUST AHEAD, ANOTHER MASS SHOOTING IN THE STATES ` SIX ARE KILLED AT A SIKH TEMPLE. AND DEBATE FLARES ACROSS THE TASMAN ` COULD GAMES IN THE CYBER-WORLD CREATE VIOLENCE IN THE REAL WORLD? FOR THE SECOND TIME IN AS MANY WEEKS, THERE'S BEEN A MASS SHOOTING IN THE UNITED STATES. THIS TIME, A GUNMAN OPENED FIRE AT A SIKH TEMPLE, KILLING SIX PEOPLE. SIRENS WAIL A PLACE OF WORSHIP TURNED INTO A SCENE OF LOSS AND HEARTACHE. WOMEN CRY WITNESSES DESCRIBED CHAOS AS WOMEN AND CHILDREN REPORTEDLY HID IN CLOSETS WHEN A MAN OPENED FIRE INSIDE A SIKH TEMPLE. THIS IS A BIG TRAGEDY FOR THE CHURCH ` OUR CHURCH. WE ALWAYS FELT THIS WAS A SAFE PLACE. WE CAME HERE FOR A BETTER LIFE, NOT TO GET SHOT OR SOMETHING, YOU KNOW? IT'S` IT'S A VERY SAD THING TO HAPPEN, AND IT'S... UNEXPECTED. THE FBI WILL BE HANDLING THE CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION ON THIS INCIDENT. WE'LL LOOK AT IT, THE SCOPE OF IT AND WHAT THE IMPLICATIONS MIGHT BE. WE'RE TREATING THIS AS A DOMESTIC TERRORIST-TYPE INCIDENT. SEVEN PEOPLE WERE KILLED, INCLUDING THE GUNMAN, WHO WAS SHOT DEAD BY POLICE AT THE SCENE. THREE MEN ARE IN HOSPITAL, INCLUDING A POLICE OFFICER ` A 20-YEAR VETERAN OF THE FORCE WHO WAS AMBUSHED WHILE ATTENDING TO A VICTIM. WHEN HE ARRIVED ON THE SCENE, HE ENGAGED AN ACTIVE SHOOTER OUTSIDE OF THE TEMPLE. MULTIPLE ROUNDS WERE EXCHANGED. THE OFFICER WAS SHOT MULTIPLE TIMES. THE CITY OF OAK CREEK IS OUTRAGED BY THIS SENSELESS ACT OF VIOLENCE THAT HAPPENED IN OUR CITY TODAY, AND OUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS GO OUT TO THOSE VICTIMS. FOR THE SECOND TIME IN JUST OVER TWO WEEKS, THE US PRESIDENT FOUND HIMSELF EXPRESSING CONDOLENCES IN THE WAKE OF A MASS SHOOTING. THE WHITE HOUSE ISSUED A STATEMENT EMPHASISING HOW MUCH THE SIKH COMMUNITY CONTRIBUTES TO THE FABRIC OF AMERICAN LIFE. BUT SHOOTINGS, TOO, ARE INCREASINGLY PART OF THAT FABRIC. IF POLICE HAVE A BEAD ON THE MOTIVE FOR THIS ONE, THEY'RE NOT YET SAYING. SYRIAN TV SAYS PRIME MINISTER RIYAD HIJAB HAS BEEN SACKED. THIS AFTER THREE PEOPLE WERE WOUNDED IN A BOMB EXPLOSION AT THE SYRIAN STATE TV AND RADIO BUILDING IN DAMASCUS. THE EXPLOSION RIPPED THE FLOOR, BUT TRANSMISSION OF THE THREE TV CHANNELS WAS UNAFFECTED. SYRIA'S INFORMATION MINISTER DESCRIBED THE ATTACK AS DESPERATE AND COWARDLY. IT COMES AFTER GOVERNMENT FORCES WRESTED CONTROL OF PARTS OF DAMASCUS BACK FROM THE REBELS. ACROSS THE TASMAN, A TOP COP HAS LINKED A GROWING NUMBER OF STABBINGS TO VIOLENT VIDEO GAMES. THE NEW SOUTH WALES POLICE COMMISSIONER BELIEVES YOUNG PEOPLE ARE BEING INFLUENCED BY GAMES THAT REWARD PLAYERS FOR CAUSING MAYHEM. A WARNING, THIS REPORT FROM THE ABC'S DAVID SPICER HAS VIOLENT VIDEO ANIMATION. IS LIFE BEGINNING TO IMITATE THE VIRTUAL WORLD? THAT'S THE QUESTION POSED BY THE POLICE COMMISSIONER. WE'RE SEEING A MOVE, I THINK, FROM JUST CARRYING A KNIFE AND HAVING A PROPENSITY TO USE THAT KNIFE. 16,000 KNIVES AND OTHER WEAPONS WERE SEIZED FROM PEOPLE LAST YEAR IN NEW SOUTH WALES. ANDREW SCIPIONE BELIEVES SOME VIDEO GAMES ARE FUELLING THIS TREND. THOSE GAMES THAT ACTUALLY EXTOLL THE VIRTUES, IN FACT, REWARD PLAYERS, COMPETITORS FOR KILLING PEOPLE, RAPING PEOPLE, STEALING MONEY, GETTING INVOLVED IN MOTOR VEHICLE CHASES THAT PUT EVERYONE IN DANGER. THE AUSTRALIAN FAMILY ASSOCIATION SAYS IT'S TIME TO INTRODUCE TIGHTER RESTRICTIONS. THESE GAMES STIMULATE THE PLEASURE RECEPTORS IN THE BRAIN WHILE THEY DULL THE EXECUTIVE-DECISION MAKING PART OF THE BRAIN. PSYCHOLOGISTS ARGUE THAT THE GAMES THEMSELVES DON'T CAUSE THE VIOLENCE. WE HAVEN'T FOUND ANY EVIDENCE THAT SHOWS THE GAME ACTUALLY DIRECTLY RELATES TO CRIME VIOLENCE, BUT WE DO KNOW THAT IT CAN ACTUALLY ELICIT HIGH LEVELS OF AGGRESSION. THE POLICE COMMISSIONER BLAMES PARENTS FOR USING VIDEO GAMES AS BABYSITTERS WITHOUT CONSIDERING THE IMPACT ON THEIR CHILDREN. IF 99 OUT OF 100 PEOPLE ARE FINE WITH IT, WHAT ABOUT THE ONE THAT ISN'T. ANDREW SCIPIONE IS ALSO HOPING TO INFLUENCE THE DEBATE ON CLEANING UP KING'S CROSS. HE'S PUSHING THE GOVERNMENT TO CLOSE SOME PUBS AND CLUBS TO NEW PATRONS IN THE EARLY HOURS OF THE MORNING. THIS HAPPENS IN NEWCASTLE. ONE OF THE KEY DRIVERS WAS LOCK-OUTS. IT WAS PUT TO ME, 'DO THEY WORK?' MY ANSWER IS YES. THE HOTELS ASSOCIATION HAS LABELLED THE CALL AS NAIVE. JUST AHEAD, A VICTORY PARADE FOR THE CHIEFS ` HAMILTONIANS TURN OUT IN THEIR THOUSANDS. AND I HOPE YOU MADE THE MOST OF THE SUNSHINE TODAY, BECAUSE THE RAIN'S COMING. DETAILS AFTER THE BREAK. THOUSANDS TURNED OUT IN HAMILTON TODAY TO CELEBRATE WAIKATO'S LATEST SPORTING ACHIEVEMENT. SUPER RUGBY CHAMPS THE CHIEFS ENJOYED A VICTORY PARADE ` THE SECOND IN THE CITY IN JUST A FORTNIGHT. LED VICTORIOUSLY DOWN HAMILTON'S MAIN DRAG,... (CHEERS) ...THE CHIEFS CONTINUE TO RELISH THEIR FIRST EVER SUPER RUGBY TITLE. OH, WICKED, EH. IT'S ABSOLUTELY OUTSTANDING. THE TEAM'S SUPPORTERS TURNED OUT IN THEIR THOUSANDS... A LOT OF PEOPLE OUT HERE TODAY, AREN'T THERE? IT'S AWESOME. ...TO DO JUST THE SAME. CHEERING A SUCCESSFUL SEASON HAS TRANSLATED TO BUMS ON SEATS FOR THE CHIEFS. ADMISSIONS TO THEIR HOME GAMES WERE UP 90%. WHILE ALL KNOW SATURDAY'S WIN AGAINST THE SHARKS WAS A TEAM EFFORT, ONE NAME STOOD OUT AGAIN AND AGAIN. WHO ARE YOU GUYS HERE TO SEE? ALL: SONNY BILL! SONNY BILL. PA: SONNY BILL WILLIAMS! CHEERING NOT MENTIONING HIS REPORTED ENGAGEMENT TO AN OLD FLAME, SONNY BILL WILLIAMS MINGLED WITH FANS. IT'S A GREAT MOMENT FOR NOT JUST THE BOYS ON THE TEAM, BUT FOR HAMILTON AS A WHOLE. COACH DAVE RENNIE ALSO ENJOYED THE DAY, BUT NOT SO HAPPY ABOUT HIS HOME BEING ROBBED THE NIGHT OF THE GAME. THE SAFE GOT TAKEN, SO THEY MADE FAIR BIT OF MESS GETTING THAT OUT. THE CHIEFS' WIN CAPS A TRIUMPHANT FORTNIGHT FOR THE REGION. FIRST THE MAGIC'S TRANS-TASMAN NETBALL WIN, THEN KARAPIRO-TRAINED ROWERS TAKING OUT OLYMPIC GOLD. ALL CHANT HAKA FINISHING WITH A HAKA, THE CHIEFS PUBLICLY DEBUTED ON SATURDAY, GIVING BACK TO A CROWD WHOSE SUPPORT, THEY SAY, HELPED THE TEAM BECOME THE TRUE CHIEFS OF SUPER RUGBY. WEATHER TIME NOW WITH RENEE. THANKS, MIRI. HI, EVERYONE. THE WEAK RIDGE OVER NZ CAVES IN TONIGHT AS THE TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE APPROACHES FROM THE TASMAN SEA, STRENGTHENING THE NORTHERLY FLOW ACROSS THE COUNTRY. A WARM FRONT THEN MOVES ON TO THE WEST OF NZ TOWARDS DAWN, WHILE A MORE ACTIVE COLD FRONT FOLLOWS IN THE AFTERNOON. THE ASSOCIATED LOW-PRESSURE SYSTEM SKIPS ACROSS THE SOUTH TASMAN SEA TOMORROW TO LIE NEAR FIORDLAND AROUND EVENING. 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 WATCHING. PO MARIE. GOODNIGHT. CAPTIONS BY ANNE LANGFORD AND RICHARD EDMUNDS. CAPTIONS WERE MADE POSSIBLE WITH FUNDING FROM NZ ON AIR.
