DUE TO THE LIVE NATURE OF TONIGHT, WE APOLOGISE FOR THE LACK OF CAPTIONS FOR SOME ITEMS. ISRAEL KEEPS THE HEAT ON GAZA AS EGYPT'S PRIME MINISTER ARRIVES ON A PEACE MISSION. A DRUG-RUNNING YACHT HIGH AND DRY OFF TONGA WITH A DEAD MAN ON BOARD AND A CARGO OF COCAINE. AND THE ROYAL TOURISTS HAVE A BIT MORE FUN AS THEY BRING THEIR WHIRLWIND TRIP TO A CLOSE IN CHRISTCHURCH. ISRAEL ATTACKED MORE THAN 130 TARGETS IN GAZA AND BEGAN DRAFTING THOUSANDS OF RESERVE SOLDIERS AS ITS OFFENSIVE WENT INTO A THIRD DAY. THERE WAS A BRIEF CEASEFIRE WHILE THE EGYPTIAN PRIME MINISTER MET WITH HAMAS LEADERS IN GAZA, WHILE IN ANOTHER PART OF THE CITY, RESIDENTS PICKED THROUGH THE WRECKAGE OF A MOSQUE DAMAGED IN AN ISRAELI STRIKE. CHANNEL NINE'S PETER STEFANOVIC REPORTS ON A NIGHT OF ESCALATING VIOLENCE. BOOM! TRADING DEADLY BLOWS; ROCKETS ROARING OUT OF GAZA. BOOM! IN RETURN, DOZENS OF BOMB AND MISSILE STRIKES BY ISRAEL'S AIR FORCE. TRYING TO PINPOINT MILITANT LAUNCH SITES, BUT CIVILIANS INEVITABLY ARE TOO OFTEN THE VICTIMS. TRANSLATOR: AND JUST WHEN WE GOT OUT OF THE CAR, WE SAW A BIG FIRE COMING FROM THE SKY. WE HIT THE GROUND. WE WERE ALL INJURED. I HOPE THAT HAMAS AND THE OTHER TERROR ORGANISATIONS IN GAZA GOT THE MESSAGE. SOBBING, SCREAMING THEY DIDN'T. HAMAS HAS NOW FIRED MORE THAN 300 ROCKETS AND MORTARS INTO ISRAEL. TWO LONG-RANGE MISSILES HIT TEL AVIV. THE FIRST TIME THE CITY'S COME UNDER FIRE SINCE SADDAM HUSSEIN'S SCUD ATTACKS 21 YEARS AGO. WHOOSH! ISRAEL'S IRON DOME ANTI-MISSILE DEFENCE KNOCKS OUT MOST OF THE ROCKETS, BUT SOME GET THROUGH. THREE ISRAELI ADULTS WERE KILLED IN THIS HIT. A BABY WAS CRITICALLY INJURED. THERE ARE FEARS THAT TIT-FOR-TAT WAR OF ATTRITION IS DOOMED TO ESCALATE. BECAUSE IF THE ROCKETS CARRY ON, THE ISRAELI AIR STRIKES WILL CARRY ON. ISRAEL WILL CONTINUE TO TAKE WHATEVER ACTION IS NECESSARY. ARMOURED UNITS ARE POSITIONED TO UNLEASH A GROUND ASSAULT IF ORDERED, INTO GAZA. 30,000 RESERVISTS ARE BEING CALLED UP. THIS HAMAS LEADER BLAMED ISRAEL'S OCCUPATION OF PALESTINIAN LAND FOR THE CONFLICT. THEY DON'T OWN THE DECISION TO END IT, HE WARNED. THERE WAS A CERTAIN IRONY WHEN THE ISRAELI PRIME MINISTER ADDRESSED THE MEDIA. SHALOM. THAT MEANS 'PEACE'. BUT THERE SEEMS LITTLE HOPE OF THAT FOR THE MOMENT, AS ISRAEL BURIES ITS DEAD, AND THEY DO THE SAME INSIDE THE GAZA STRIP. POLICE SAY A YACHT WRECKED ON A TONGAN REEF WITH A BODY AND A HUGE HAUL OF COCAINE ON BOARD WAS HEADING FOR AUSTRALIA. THEY'D BEEN TRACKING THE YACHT SINCE A TIP-OFF IT HAD LEFT ECUADOR WITH THE DRUGS AND A CREW OF TWO. THERE'S NO SIGN OF ONE OF THEM, AND FORENSIC EXPERTS ARE TRYING TO ESTABLISH WHAT KILLED THE MAN FOUND IN THE WRECKED VESSEL. PACIFIC CORRESPONDENT BARBARA DREAVER HAS THE DETAILS. AN UGLY SCENE GREETED TONGAN POLICE WHEN THEY FOUND THE YACHT JEREVE GROUNDED ON LUATAFITO ATOLL. INSIDE THE CABIN WAS A BADLY DECOMPOSED BODY OF A MAN AND COCAINE WORTH CLOSE ON $150M. WE BELIEVE THAT THE 204KG OF COCAINE WAS DESTINED FOR THE AUSTRALIAN MARKET. IT WAS SECRETED` WELL SECRETED INSIDE THE HULL OF THE VESSEL. US AUTHORITIES HAD ALERTED AUSTRALIAN POLICE OF DRUGS ON BOARD THE YACHT. THE BOAT LEFT ECUADOR MID-AUGUST WITH TWO EASTERN-EUROPEAN CREW MEMBERS ABOARD. AUTHORITIES TRACKED IT FOR NEARLY TWO MONTHS BEFORE LOSING CONTACT. SEVERAL DAYS AGO, IT WAS DISCOVERED ON AN UNINHABITED TONGAN ATOLL WITH THE COCAINE INTACT, BUT WITH A DEAD MAN ON BOARD. WE LOST CONTACT WITH THE VESSEL AROUND THE 5TH OF OCTOBER. WE BELIEVE AT THAT POINT THERE POTENTIALLY HAS BEEN AN INCIDENT ON BOARD THAT VESSEL THAT WE DON'T KNOW THE FACTS AROUND. IT'S SUSPECTED THAT THE SECOND CREW MEMBER WENT MISSING WHEN THE BOAT WAS IN COOK ISLANDS' WATERS. THE LOCAL POLICE THERE LAUNCHED A SEARCH FOR THE YACHT BUT WERE UNSUCCESSFUL. WE DEPLOYED OUR PATROL BOAT, AND I ALSO DEPLOYED DETECTIVES AND A SPECIAL TACTICS UNIT TEAM. POLICE AROUND THE REGION ARE WORRIED THEIR PATCH IS BEING USED AS A STAGING POST FOR HARD DRUGS, MASTERMINDED BY ORGANISED CRIME SYNDICATES. AT LEAST WE NOW KNOW THAT THE NARCOTICS ON BOARD THE VESSEL WILL NOT GET INTO PACIFIC ISLAND COUNTRIES OR NZ AND AUSTRALIA. NOW THE FOCUS IS ON IDENTIFYING THE DEAD CREW MEMBER AND HOW HE DIED. IT CERTAINLY IS A MYSTERY ENDING. WE NOW NEED TO PUT THE PUZZLES TOGETHER IN THE MIDDLE. DESPITE THE MYSTERY, THE OPERATION IS A SUCCESSFUL ONE FOR REGIONAL POLICE, PLEASED TO STOP A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF COCAINE REACHING AUSTRALIA'S STREETS. BARBARA DREAVER, ONE NEWS. A 38-YEAR-OLD MAN'S APPEARED IN PORIRUA DISTRICT COURT, CHARGED WITH MURDERING A WELLINGTON MOTHER OF TWO. ERNEST SMITH WAS ARRESTED LATE LAST NIGHT, AFTER POLICE FOUND THE BODY OF AMANDA TAUFALE IN HER TAWA HOME. SMITH'S DUE TO REAPPEAR IN COURT EARLY NEXT MONTH. THE LABOUR PARTY ANNUAL CONFERENCE KICKED OFF IN AUCKLAND TONIGHT WITH THE LEADER PROMISING A NEW DIRECTION. BRUSHING ASIDE SPECULATION HIS JOB WAS UNDER THREAT, DAVID SHEARER TOLD THE PARTY FAITHFUL HE'S CONFIDENT HE'LL SOON BE RUNNING THE COUNTRY. DANIELLE STANBURY WAS THERE. PARTY CONFERENCES ARE ALL ABOUT MAKING A STATEMENT, AND THERE'S NO SHORTAGE AT THIS ONE. MORE THAN 600 LABOUR DELEGATES WILL BE HERE OVER THE WEEKEND, ENTHUSIASTIC ABOUT THE PARTY'S FUTURE. THE MOOD'S REALLY GOING FORWARD, AND WE'RE CONFIDENT OF MAKING SOME PROGRESS OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF YEARS AND BECOMING A GOVERNMENT. I'M REALLY EXCITED. I THINK THE FACT THAT YOU CAN GET OVER 600 DELEGATES TO A CONFERENCE IS A GOOD SIGN. PEOPLE ARE VERY ENTHUSIASTIC AND VERY CONTRIBUTING TO THE POLICY COMMITTEES. IT'S DAVID SHEARER'S FIRST CONFERENCE AS LEADER. HIS PROMISE TO THE MEMBERSHIP: THEY WON'T BE THE OPPOSITION MUCH LONGER. THIS CONFERENCE AND THE CHANGES WE ARE MAKING TO OUR ORGANISATION WILL HELP US GET BACK INTO GOVERNMENT IN 2014 AND MAKE NZ A BETTER PLACE. WE ARE WELL ON OUR WAY TO VICTORY IN 2014. CHEERING, APPLAUSE THE LABOUR LEADER CONFIDENT HE'LL HAVE THE TOP SPOT IN THE BEEHIVE AFTER THE NEXT ELECTIONS. LUCKILY I'VE ONLY GOT TWO MORE YEARS IN THIS JOB BEFORE I LEAD CAN LEAD THE LABOUR PARTY INTO GOVERNMENT. CHEERING, APPLAUSE DAVID SHEARER'S SET TO MAKE HIS MAJOR SPEECH AT THE CONFERENCE HERE ON SUNDAY, WHEN HE'LL SPELL OUT THE PARTY'S POLICY ON HOUSING AFFORDABILITY. AND THEY'RE NOT JUST MAKING NEW POLICIES. WE'RE IN THE KITCHEN AT THE MOMENT, AND WE'RE COOKING UP A NEW NZ. CONFIDENCE AMONG THE PARTY FAITHFUL TO MATCH A BULLISH REV-UP FROM THE LEADER. DANIELLE STANBURY, ONE NEWS. WITH LABOUR'S AFFORDABLE HOUSING POLICY SET TO BE LAUNCHED THIS WEEKEND, SOME HAVE QUESTIONED THE TIMING OF A GOVERNMENT ANNOUNCEMENT ON THE SUBJECT TODAY. HOUSING MINISTER PHIL HEATLEY SAID 600 LOWER-COST HOMES WILL NOW BE BUILT IN A DEVELOPMENT ON THE FORMER HOBSONVILLE AIR BASE IN AUCKLAND. AS PAUL HOBBS REPORTS, IT'S ONLY SIX MONTHS SINCE THE GOVERNMENT CANCELLED A SCHEME TO GIVE LOW-INCOME EARNERS A FOOT ON THE PROPERTY LADDER. IT'S PRIME LAND IN A HOT MARKET, BU d BUT THE GOVERNMENT'S NOW P MISING 8 LESS WELL OFF AUCKLANDERS HOPE FOR A HOME OF THEIR OWN. SMALL HOMES ON SMALLER LOTS COST LESS. 3000 HOMES ARE EARMARKED FOR HOBSONVILLE POINT, AUCKLAND'S BIGGEST GREENFIELD HOUSING DEVELOPMENT. THE HOUSING MINISTER ANNOUNCING THAT 300 OF THOSE HOMES WILL COST LESS THAN $400,000. A FURTHER 300 HOMES WILL COST BETWEEN $400,000 AND $485,000 ` AROUND $50,000 LESS THAN THE MEDIAN AUCKLAND HOUSE PRICE. THESE PRICES ARE GENERALLY CONSIDERED MORE AFFORDABLE IN THE AUCKLAND CONTEXT. THIS IS WHERE THE FIRST OF THE PROPOSED LOWER COST HOUSES WILL BE BUILT ` TWO-STORIED TERRACE HOMES WHICH WILL GO UP FOR SALE SHORTLY. THEY'LL BE AVAILABLE TO BE MOVED INTO IN 12 MONTHS. THE SCHEME IS AIMED AT HOUSEHOLDS EARNING AROUND $110,000, THE AVERAGE AUCKLAND INCOME. THIS IS FINALLY AN EXAMPLE OF WHERE THE RUBBER HITS THE ROAD. WE CAN LOOK OUR COMMUNITY IN THE EYE AND SAY, 'AFFORDABILITY IS ACHIEVABLE.' WHEN THE REDEVELOPMENT OF THE OLD HOBSONVILLE AIRBASE STARTED SEVEN YEARS AGO, THE PLAN INCLUDED STATE HOUSING AND 'AFFORDABLE' HOMES, BUT THE NATIONAL GOVERNMENT SCRAPPED BOTH CONCEPTS. NOW IT SAYS THIS MARKET-DRIVEN SCHEME WITH NO GOVERNMENT SUBSIDIES IS ABOUT BUILDING SMARTER. IT'S A STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. IT WOULD BE NICE TO SEE IF WE COULD ACTUALLY INTEGRATE SOME EVEN BETTER COST HOUSING INTO THOSE MODELS. THE GOVERNMENT'S FLIP-FLOPPED ON THIS AFFORDABLE HOUSING FOR MANY MANY YEARS NOW. SUDDENLY NOW IT'S DECIDED THAT IT'S GOING TO PUT IN AFFORDABLE HOUSING. IT'S PRETTY CYNICAL POLITICS, QUITE FRANKLY. BUT PHIL HEATLEY'S CONFIDENT THIS MODEL IS ONE THAT CAN BE ROLLED OUT AROUND THE COUNTRY. PAUL HOBBS, ONE NEWS. PRINCE CHARLES AND HIS WIFE, CAMILLA, THE DUCHESS OF CORNWALL, ARE HOMEWARD BOUND TONIGHT, HAVING COMPLETED THE FINAL LEG OF THEIR DIAMOND JUBILEE TOUR. AS DANIEL FAITAUA REPORTS, THE SIX-DAY VISIT ENDED WITH A VISIT TO QUAKE-STRICKEN CHRISTCHURCH. THIS WAS THE MOMENT THEIR ROYAL HIGHNESSES SWEPT CHRISTCHURCH OF ITS FEET. OR MAYBE IT WAS THE OTHER WAY ROUND, WHEN THE FOUNDER OF THE CITY'S VOLUNTEER ARMY DISPLAYED SOME FANCY FOOTWORK OF HIS OWN WITH THE DUCHESS IN HAND. SHE SAID I WAS DOING OK, SO I WAS QUITE PLEASED. I SAID I NEED TO GO FOR DANCING SCHOOL. THE PRINCE OF WALES PROVING AT 64 HE'S STILL GOT WHAT IT TAKES. HE'S A BEAUTIFUL DANCER. THE LIGHT MOMENT SEEMINGLY A WORLD AWAY FROM THEIR TOUR THROUGH THE QUAKE-DAMAGED CITY, WHERE THOUSANDS LINED THE STREETS. YET, LOOKING DOWN, A REMINDER OF THAT DAY WHEN THE CITY CAME TO A STANDSTILL. THAT'S THE, UH, LETTER THAT PRINCE CHARLES, HIS MAJESTY, SENT TO ALL OF US. THIS IS YOUR LETTER, AND WE'RE GOING TO PUT IT IN THE TIME CAPSULE. THEN IT WAS TIME FOR THE ROYAL MOTORCADE TO TRAVEL THROUGH THE BADLY HIT SUBURBS, WHERE THEY STEPPED OUT TO INSPECT SEVERAL RED-ZONED HOUSES. WELL, THE PRINCE ASKED WHAT HAPPENED TO THE HOUSE, HOW THINGS WERE AFTER THE EARTHQUAKE HAPPENED. NEXT STOP, THE CANTERBURY A & P SHOW, CELEBRATING ITS 150TH YEAR,... HELLO. HOW ARE YOU? ...WHERE THOUSANDS SEIZED EVERY VANTAGE POINT TO GET UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL. I DIDN'T TAKE PHOTOS, BUT I DID GET TO SHAKE HIS HAND. THEN IT WAS ALL HANDS ON DECK TO KEEP THE MAIN ARENA FIT FOR A PRINCE. WELL, ALMOST. DESPITE THEIR CASUAL APPROACH TO MEET AND GREET THE MASSES, THE ROYAL COUPLE TOOK TIME TO MEET THOSE SERIOUSLY INJURED IN THE QUAKE. BUT FOR WHEELCHAIR-BOUND BEV EDWARDS, SHE SAYS THEY'RE THE FORGOTTEN ONES. FIRST TIME TODAY THAT WE'VE ACTUALLY SPOKEN TO BOB PARKER AND GERRY BROWNLEE IN PERSON. AND, WHAT ARE WE ` 18 MONTHS, NEARLY TWO YEARS DOWN THE TRACK? AS THE ROYAL WHIRLWIND ENDS, THE SERIOUSLY INJURED HOPE IT WILL REMIND NZERS OF THE ONGOING STRUGGLES THEY FACE EVERY DAY. DANIEL FAITAUA, ONE NEWS. JUST AHEAD ` BP'S ORDERED TO COUGH UP A $5.5B FINE FOR THE GULF OF MEXICO OIL SPILL. AND THE PETRAEUS SCANDAL DEEPENS, WITH THE CIA NOW INVESTIGATING THEIR FORMER TOP BOSS. 1 BP'S BEEN HIT WITH THE BIGGEST CRIMINAL FINE IN US HISTORY FOR ITS OIL SPILL IN THE GULF OF MEXICO TWO YEARS AGO. IT'S AGREED TO PAY THE US GOVERNMENT MORE THAN $5.5B. ABC'S PIERRE THOMAS REPORTS. WE ALL REMEMBER THE SEARING IMAGES ` THE HORRIFIC FIRE, OIL SPEWING INTO THE GULF OF MEXICO. TODAY, WE LEARNED BP EXECUTIVES LIED ABOUT THE SCALE OF THE SPILL FROM THE VERY BEGINNING. FOR WEEKS, THIS IS WHAT THE COMPANY TOLD THE PUBLIC AND CONGRESS ABOUT HOW MUCH WAS LEAKING. SOMETHING AROUND 5000 BARRELS A DAY IS THE BEST ESTIMATE. BUT AT THE TIME, BP'S OWN ESTIMATES SHOWED THE WELL WAS LEAKING 92,000 BARRELS A DAY. TODAY, BP PLEADED GUILTY TO MISLEADING CONGRESS AND TO MANSLAUGHTER FOR THE DEATH OF 11 WORKERS ON THAT OIL RIG. THE DEATHS OF THE 11 MEN ON BOARD THE DEEPWATER HORIZON COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED. TODAY, TWO BP COMPANY MEN WHO WERE ON SITE WERE INDICTED FOR MANSLAUGHTER FOR KEEPING THE WELL IN OPERATION EVEN THOUGH THEY WERE AWARE OF CONTINUED, ABNORMAL HIGH PRESSURE ON THE DRILL PIPE. THE COMPANY AGREED TO PAY $4.5B IN FINES. THE MEN'S LAWYERS SAY THEY'RE BEING SCAPEGOATED. THE CIA HAS OPENED AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE CONDUCT OF FORMER DIRECTOR DAVID PETRAEUS, WHO RESIGNED LAST WEEK, CITING AN AFFAIR WITH HIS BIOGRAPHER, PAULA BROADWELL. MEANWHILE, THERE'S EVIDENCE THE TWO WOMEN AT THE HEART OF THE SCANDAL WERE DETERMINED TO LEVERAGE THEIR TIES TO AMERICA'S HIGHEST FLYING GENERALS. ABC'S BRIAN ROSS HAS MORE. IN ADDITION TO THE BOOK AND THE SEX, PAULA BROADWELL'S CONNECTION WITH GENERAL DAVID PETRAEUS PROVIDED ANOTHER BENEFIT ` A CELEBRITY STATUS IN MILITARY CIRCLES THAT LED TO A ROLE AS AN EXPERT COMMENTATOR AND FIRING RANGE DEMONSTRATOR AND AN INFOMERCIAL FOR A COMPANY TRYING OT GET MILITARY CONTRACTS FOR THE STRANGE-LOOKING LIGHTWEIGHT MACHINE GUNS. FOR THE INDIVIDUAL FIGHTER, REDUCING WEIGHT IS CRITICAL. ON THIS TAPE, SHOT LAST DECEMBER IN THE MIDST OF HER AFFAIR WITH THE FOUR-STARRED GENERAL RUNNING THE CIA, BROADWELL IS IDENTIFIED AS THE AUTHOR OF THE PETRAEUS BIOGRAPHY. OFFICIALS AT THE COMPANY LOCATED IN VIRGINIA BEACH SAID BROADWELL HAS NO OFFICIAL AFFILIATION WITH THEM, BUT WOULD NOT ANSWER ABC NEWS' QUESTIONS ABOUT WHY THEY CHOSE TO USE HER AS A SPOKESPERSON. PEOPLE DID NOT HAVE TO KNOW SHE WAS HIS MISTRESS. THEY KNEW HE WAS FRIENDS WITH HER, SO ANYONE IN THE AGENCIES WOULD KNOW THAT THIS IS SOMEONE PETRAEUS WAS GOING TO BE FAVOURABLE TOWARDS. AND BROADWELL IS NOT THE ONLY WOMAN WHO SEEMS TO HAVE TRIED TO BENEFIT FROM HER TIES WITH GENERAL PETRAEUS. TAMPA SOCIALITE JILL KELLEY ALLEGEDLY USED THE CIA DIRECTOR'S NAME IN AN EFFORT THIS SUMMER TO BROKER A CONTRACT FOR A $4B ENERGY FACILITY WITH SENIOR OFFICIALS OF THE SOUTH KOREAN GOVERNMENT, d ACCORDING TO NEW YORK 8 BUSINESSMAN ADAM VICTOR. MS KELLEY MADE IT CLEAR TO ME THAT GENERAL PETRAEUS PUT HER IN THIS POSITION, AND THAT'S WHY SHE WAS ABLE TO HAVE ACCESS TO SUCH SENIOR LEVELS THAT THEY WERE ESSENTIALLY DOING A FAVOUR FOR GENERAL PETRAEUS. PHOTOS OF A MOBY DICK MOMENT CAPTURED BY A BRITISH MARINE ENGINEER ARE MAKING A SPLASH AROUND THE WORLD. HE SPOTTED A RARE WHITE HUMPBACK WHALE OFF THE COAST OF NORWAY, THE COLOUR CAUSED BY A CONDITION THAT REDUCES ITS SKIN PIGMENT. WHITE WHALES RARELY SURVIVE LONG WITH SUCH HIGH VIZ COLOURING, BUT THIS ONE HAD REACHED ADULTHOOD IN A POD OF REGULAR GREY HUMPBACKS. EXPERTS ARE WARNING MT RUAPEHU COULD BE ON THE VERGE OF AN ERUPTION. THIS SPECTACULAR FLARE-UP IN 1995 WAS THE LAST BIG BLOW. MONITORING SHOWS PRESSURE'S BUILDING UNDER THE VOLCANO'S CRATER LAKE, MAKING AN ERUPTION MORE LIKELY IN THE COMING WEEKS. SCIENTISTS ARE KEEPING A CLOSE EYE ON ACTIVITY, BUT WARN THE MOUNTAIN'S UNLIKELY TO GIVE ANY MORE IMMEDIATE WARNING OF A PENDING ERUPTION. 21 YEARS SINCE STARSHIP CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL OPENED ITS DOORS IN AUCKLAND, THE MEDICAL COMMUNITY'S ASKING WHETHER IT NEEDS EXPANDING TO CATER FOR A GROWING POPULATION. THE QUESTION WAS RAISED AT A BIRTHDAY BASH BRINGING TOGETHER PATIENTS PAST AND PRESENT. AMY KELLEY WAS THERE TOO. # HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU. # SINGING THE PRAISES OF A PLACE THAT TAKES THE SCARY OUT OF BEING SICK. THEY ACTUALLY MAKE BEING IN HOSPITAL FUN FOR KIDS. CAMPBELL MACKENZIE'S ONE OF 1.7 MILLION PATIENTS TREATED HERE SINCE STARSHIP OPENED. WHEN I WAS A DAY OLD, I HAD A CONDITION WHERE BASICALLY I COULDN'T EAT AND I COULDN'T BREATHE. NOW HE'S RETURNED TO CELEBRATE THE 'COMING OF AGE' OF NZ'S FIRST PURPOSE-BUILT CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL. CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS ARE NOT JUST SMALL ADULTS. THEY HAVE GOT DIFFERENT PATHOLOGIES, DIFFERENT DISEASES, DIFFERENT PSYCHOLOGIES. BUT 21 YEARS ON, AUCKLAND DISTRICT HEALTH BOARD SAYS STARSHIP NEEDS NEW INVESTMENT AND DEVELOPMENT TO COPE WITH POPULATION GROWTH. RIGHT NOW WE ARE STEPPING BACK, AND WE ARE DEVELOPING A CLINICAL-SERVICES PLAN. THERE IS GOING TO BE SOME VERY SIGNIFICANT DEVELOPMENT REQUIRED. AND OF COURSE ANY CHANGES OR EXPANSIONS TO THE HOSPITAL WILL ALSO HAVE TO TAKE INTO ACCOUNT CHANGING TRENDS IN THE KINDS OF CONDITIONS CHILDREN ARE COMING THROUGH THESE DOORS WITH. STARSHIP TOLD US IT'S SEEING LESS MENINGITIS DUE TO IMPROVED VACCINES AND LESS CAR CRASH VICTIMS THANKS TO DEVELOPMENTS IN CHILD RESTRAINTS, BUT IT IS NOTICING AN INCREASE IN MORE COMPLEX CONDITIONS. BASICALLY PATIENTS WHO WOULD NEVER HAVE SURVIVED EVEN 10, 12 YEARS AGO, NOW DO. AND YOUNG PEOPLE WITH CANCER ` THE SURVIVAL RATE'S INCREDIBLY HIGH, WHICH REQUIRES AN INTENSIFICATION OF TREATMENT, AND YOU NEED THE INFRASTRUCTURE FOR THAT. ANY NEW DEVELOPMENTS WOULD BE PART-FUNDED BY THE STARSHIP FOUNDATION, BUT WE'RE TOLD THE GOVERNMENT WOULD ALSO NEED TO COME TO THE PARTY IF THE HOSPITAL IS STILL TO MEET CHILDREN'S NEEDS IN ANOTHER 21 YEARS' TIME. AMY KELLEY, ONE NEWS. JUST AHEAD ` IT'S A WET START TO THE WEEKEND FOR MOST. WE HAVE THE FORECAST FOR YOUR PLACE. WE FAREWELL A LEGEND. ALL BLACKS FULLBACK BOB SCOTT HAS DIED. AND A BIG TEST FOR KIERAN READ AS HE GETS READY TO LEAD THE ALL BLACKS AGAINST ITALY. NOW TO THE MOST-VIEWED STORIES ON OUR WEBSITE TODAY. POLICE IN TONGA ARE WORKING TO IDENTIFY A MAN'S BODY FOUND ON A GROUNDED YACHT WITH 200 KILOS OF COCAINE. PRINCE CHARLES AND THE DUCHESS OF CORNWALL HAVE WRAPPED UP THEIR DIAMOND JUBILEE TOUR OF NZ. AND THE EARLIEST ALFRED HITCHCOCK FILM'S BEEN RELEASED ONLINE AFTER A COPY WAS FOUND IN NZ. IN SPORTS NEWS ` ALL BLACK LEGEND BOB SCOTT HAS DIED AT THE AGE OF 91. THE BOY WHO GREW UP PLAYING RUGBY LEAGUE IN AUCKLAND FOUND FAME IN RUGBY UNION AS A GIFTED FULLBACK. HIS BAREFOOT DEMONSTRATIONS WERE LEGENDARY. SCOTT PLAYED FOR THE NZ ARMED SERVICES TEAM ON THE TOUR OF EUROPE AFTER WORLD WAR II, AND WENT ON TO PLAY 17 TESTS FOR THE ALL BLACKS BETWEEN 1946 AND 1954. HE WAS VERY DEFINITELY ONE OF THE GREAT PLAYERS OF A TIME WHEN RUGBY WAS NOT THE RUNNING, PASSING GAME THAT IT IS NOW. HE CERTAINLY INJECTED A LOT OF SPARK INTO THE WAY THE GAME WAS PLAYED THEN. SCOTT IS THE FOURTH PROMINENT FORMER ALL BLACK TO DIE THIS YEAR, WITH JOCK HOBBS, SIR FRED ALLEN AND SIR WILSON WHINERAY ALSO PASSING AWAY. BOB SCOTT'S WARTIME SERVICE IN ITALY COULD ADD EXTRA SIGNIFICANCE TO THE ALL BLACKS PREPARATIONS FOR SUNDAY'S TEST IN ROME. ALTHOUGH THERE'S PLENTY TO THINK ABOUT ALREADY FOR KIERAN READ ` ABOUT TO MAKE HIS FIRST START AS CAPTAIN. HERE'S EUROPE CORRESPONDENT GARTH BRAY. KIERAN READ'S TIPPED AS THE MAN TO REPLACE RICHIE MCCAW WHEN THE SKIPPER TAKES A SIX-MONTH SABBATICAL NEXT YEAR, BUT HIS FIRST TEST IN THE JOB IS UPON HIM. IT'S A MASSIVE HONOUR. YOU KNOW, ONE OF THE BIGGEST JOBS, I GUESS, IN THE COUNTRY. AND FOLLOWING A MAN WHO, IN MY OPINION, IS PROBABLY THE BEST CAPTAIN EVER IN THE ALL BLACKS, SO, YEAH, IT'S HUGE BOOTS TO FILL. AARON CRUDEN MUST KNOW HOW HE FEELS, STARTING AT FIRST FIVE WITH DAN CARTER WATCHING FROM THE BENCH. YEAH, 10'S GOTTA BE THE DIRECTOR, GOTTA LEAD THE BOYS AROUND THE PADDOCK, AND IT'S GONNA BE A BIG FOCUS FOR ME LEADING INTO THE WEEKEND. BARRING MISFORTUNE, DAN CARTER WILL PROBABLY FEATURE, IF AT ALL, ONLY LATE IN THE MATCH AS A CROWD-PLEASER FOR THE PACKED HOUSE AT STADIO OLIMPICO. THE HISTORY MADE THERE FOR NZ BY PETER SNELL AND MURRAY HALBERG AT THE 1960 OLYMPICS IS STILL INSPIRING NZ ATHLETES BORN DECADES LATER. WE HAD OUR GREATEST OLYMPIC MOMENT THERE, SO IT'S PRETTY, UM, HUMBLING TO BE ABLE TO PLAY IN THE SAME STADIUM. BUT FOLLOWING IN THOSE FLEET FOOTSTEPS WILL TAKE TEAMWORK ` REID AND CRUDEN WILL BE RELYING ON CONRAD SMITH AND MA'A NONU AND ON EACH OTHER. NOW, WE SAT DOWN AND HAD A GOOD CHAT YESTERDAY JUST TO TALK OVER A FEW THINGS THAT MIGHT HAPPEN ON THE FIELD AND IF THAT DOES, WHAT WE CAN DO. SO IT'S GONNA BE GREAT, AND WE'VE GOT A GOOD RELATIONSHIP ON AND OFF THE FIELD. SO WE JUST NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE KEEP COMMUNICATING WHILE WE'RE OUT THERE. BOTH KNOW THERE'S MUCH MORE AT STAKE FOR THEM THAN CONTINUING AN UNBEATEN RECORD OVER ITALY. GARTH BRAY, ONE NEWS, ROME.
