DUE TO THE LIVE NATURE OF MIDDAY, WE APOLOGISE FOR THE LACK OF CAPTIONS FOR SOME ITEMS. THE SEARCH IS ON FOR A PLANE MISSING IN BAD WEATHER IN ANTARCTICA. THE PROSECUTION HAS WRAPPED UP ITS ARGUMENTS IN THE COURT CASE FOLLOWING THE DOHA MALL FIRE THAT KILLED NZ TRIPLETS. AND ROGER FEDERER JOINS THE OTHER TOP SEEDS IN THE SEMI-FINALS AT THE AUSTRALIAN OPEN. AN INTERNATIONAL SEARCH IS UNDERWAY FOR A PLANE MISSING WITH THREE PEOPLE ON BOARD IN ANTARCTICA. THREE CANADIAN MEN ARE ON BOARD THE FLIGHT FROM THE SOUTH POLE TO THE ITALIAN BASE IN TERRA NOVA BAY. AN EMERGENCY LOCATOR BEACON WAS ACTIVATED AROUND 10 O'CLOCK LAST NIGHT. NZ IS COORDINATING THE SEARCH. ONE NEWS REPORTER REBECCA EDWARDS JOINS US NOW LIVE FROM WELLINGTON. REBECCA. WE CAN CONFIRM THAT THE FLIGHT THAT'S DISAPPEARED NEAR THE SOUTH POLE IS OPERATED BY CANADIAN COMPANY KENN BOREK AIR. AT THIS STAGE RESCUERS ARE YET TO MAKE ANY CONTACT WITH THE MEN ON BOARD THE MISSING PLANE AND CAN'T SAY WHAT THE STATE OF THE AIRCRAFT OR THE CREW IS. BAD WEATHER IS SEVERELY HAMPERING EFFORTS TO GET TO THE CRASH SITE AND FULLY ASSESS THE SITUATION, BUT CURRENTLY A DC3 PLANE IS EN ROUTE FROM MCMURDO STATION. NOW, ON BOARD THAT PLANE IS A DROP KIT WHICH INCLUDES THINGS LIKE SURVIVAL GEAR AND A SATELLITE PHONE, WHICH, WEATHER DEPENDING, WILL BE DROPPED TO THE SITE. NOW, I SPENT THIS MORNING AT THE RESCUE CO-ORDINATION CENTRE IN LOWER HUTT, WHERE STAFF BRIEFED ME ON THEIR PLAN. HERE'S WHAT THEY HAD TO SAY. GET THE AIRCRAFT OVERHEAD, IT'S GOT A 10-HOUR ENDURANCE, IT CAN CIRCLE AROUND, AND HOPEFULLY WE'LL GET A CLEARING IN THE WEATHER. SOON AS WE GET A CLEARING, WE CAN BRING IN THE HELICOPTERS, BRING IN THE OTHER AIRCRAFT, THE TWIN OTTER ` AND GET PEOPLE IN TO THE SCENE, AND THEN WE'LL HAVE SOME IDEA OF WHAT'S HAPPENING. PARAMEDICS ON BOARD ALL AIRCRAFTS THAT ARE TRYING TO GET TO THE SCENE. AT THIS STAGE IT'S NOT KNOWN EXACTLY WHAT SURVIVAL GEAR THE THREE MEN WOULD HAVE HAD ON BOARD. WEATHER IN ANTARCTICA IS VERY CHANGEABLE AT THE MOMENT, SO AT THIS STAGE, RESCUERS ARE DESCRIBING THE SITUATION AS A 'TERRIBLE WAITING GAME'. THANKS, REBECCA EDWARDS LIVE FROM WELLINGTON. THE PROSECUTION HAS WOUND UP OVERNIGHT IN THE COURT CASE FOLLOWING THE DOHA MALL FIRE WHICH KILLED 19 PEOPLE IN THE ARABIAN GULF STATE OF QATAR. THOSE KILLED INCLUDED THREE NZ CHILDREN ` THE WEEKES TRIPLETS. ALEXI O'BRIEN REPORTS FROM DOHA THAT A FIRE CHIEF HAS GIVEN EVIDENCE ABOUT WHAT CAUSED THE FATAL FIRE. A MALFUNCTION CAUSED BY A LIGHT BULB, WHICH WAS IN THE MARQUEE SHOP NEAR WHERE THE NURSERY OR THE CRECHE WAS. THAT IT BURST AND PIECES OF THE BULB FELL INTO BOXES OF CLOTHING AND SHOES IN THE NIKE STORE, AND THAT THAT SET IT ON FIRE AND THE FIRE THEN SPREAD THROUGHOUT THE MALL. HE SAID, ACTUALLY, THAT THE TYPE OF LIGHT BULB THAT WAS USED ISN'T SAFE, BUT IT IS ONE THAT'S WIDELY USED HERE IN QATAR, BUT THAT THE BULB, WHAT IT'S MADE FROM, IT'S FLAMMABLE, AND IT'S ACTUALLY QUITE A COMMON CAUSE OF A FIRE. ALEXI O'BRIEN REPORTING FROM QATAR. MAORI PARTY CO-LEADER PITA SHARPLES' DAYS MAY BE NUMBERED WITH HIS MP TE URUROA FLAVELL PUSHING TO TAKE OVER AS LEADER. IT'S ALL UNFOLDING AS POLITICIANS GATHER AT THIS YEAR'S RATANA CHURCH CELEBRATIONS AT WHANGANUI. ONE NEWS POLITICAL REPORTER MICHAEL PARKIN JOINS US NOW LIVE FROM RATANA PA. MICHAEL. THE BAND HAS FIRED UP THAT'S LABOUR AND THE GREENS BEING WELCOMED TE URUROA FLAVELL HAS HAD NOTHING TO SAY ABOUT THE HUI AT WHICH HE FAILED TO BECOME THE LEADER THEY'LL MEET AGAIN IN A FEW MONTHS THE PROBLEM FOR THE MAORI PARTY IS THAT THEY'RE NOT REFRESHING THEIR LINE UP TO TRY AND ATTRACT NEW VOTERS I BELIEVE LABOUR MPS HAVE JUST ARRIVED AT THE MARAE. WHAT'S THE SITUATION WITH LABOUR AND RATANA? YOU MIGHT SEE DAVID CUNLIFFE BEHIND ME WE ASKED HIM IF HE'D ASKED ANOTHER CHALLENGE FOR LABOUR LEADERSHIP HE RULED IT OUT THANKS, MICHAEL PARKIN LIVE FROM RATANA PA. A HAMILTON HAEMATOLOGIST HAS DESCRIBED PHARMAC'S FAILURE TO FUND A TREATMENT FOR AN ULTRA-RARE BLOOD DISEASE AS 'A PUBLIC SCANDAL'. A HANDFUL OF NZERS WHO SUFFER FROM THE DISEASE PNH ARE PLEADING WITH THE CROWN AGENCY TO AUTHORISE STATE FUNDING FOR THE VERY EXPENSIVE DRUG THAT CAN CURE IT. CHRIS CHANG REPORTS. DANIEL WEBBY'S A 32-YEAR-OLD SINGLE DAD WITH AN ULTRA-RARE BLOOD DISEASE. PAROXYSMAL NOCTURNAL HAEMOGLOBINURIA, OR PNH, KILLS A THIRD OF ITS SUFFERERS, AND DANIEL'S URGING PHARMAC TO PAY FOR THE DRUG HE SAYS WOULD SAVE HIS LIFE. HOW CAN THEY SAY THAT THIS A LOW PRIORITY? THERE WAS A PATIENT THAT I'M AWARE OF, A NZER, THAT DIED LAST YEAR OF THE CONDITION, COMPLICATIONS. SOLIRIS IS BEING HAILED AS A MIRACLE CURE. THE FACT THAT PHARMAC HAVE NOT YET FUNDED ACCESS TO SOLIRIS, OR ECULIZUMAB, IN NZ IS REALLY BECOMING AN INCREASING PUBLIC SCANDAL. IT COSTS $500,000 PER PATIENT, EACH YEAR, SO FOR THE EIGHT NZ SUFFERERS, THAT'D BE $4M OUT OF PHARMAC'S ANNUAL BUDGET. THE CROWN AGENCY THAT MANAGES GOVERNMENT SPENDING ON PHARMACEUTICALS SAYS THAT NUMBER'S TOO HIGH. IT'S THE AMOUNT OF EXTRA MONEY THAT WE CAN SPEND EACH YEAR ON NEW PHARMACEUTICALS. AND WHAT WE HAVE TO DO IS WE HAVE TO WEIGH THAT UP AGAINST OTHER COMPETING PHARMACEUTICALS. PNH IS CHARACTERISED BY THE DESTRUCTION OF RED BLOOD CELLS THAT LITERALLY EXPLODE IN THE CIRCULATION. THAT CAN CAUSE A RANGE OF MAJOR PROBLEMS... ...LIKE THE BRAIN AND LIVER; AND MOST COMMONLY, POTENTIALLY DEADLY BLOOD CLOTTING. AS ONE PATIENT'S DESCRIBED, IT'S LIKE LIVING WITH A TIME BOMB. YOU'RE CERTAINLY AWARE OF THE FACT THAT THESE CLOTS CAN DEVELOP AT ANY TIME. TIME THAT DANIEL MAY NOT HAVE AS HE WAITS ON PHARMAC'S NEXT MOVE. CHRIS CHANG, ONE NEWS. EXTRA FIREFIGHTING SUPPLIES HAVE BEEN SHIPPED IN TO AUCKLAND'S GREAT BARRIER ISLAND IN A BID TO FINALLY QUELL A FIRE THAT'S BURNED THROUGH A LARGE AREA NEAR CLARIS. NEARLY 50 RURAL FIREFIGHTERS FROM AROUND THE COUNTRY ARE CONTINUING TO FIGHT THE REMAINING FIRE FRONT. THE FIRE'S SO FAR BURNED THROUGH MORE THAN A HUNDRED HECTARES. THE WEATHER'S MILD TODAY, BUT INCREASED WINDS EXPECTED TOMORROW AND SATURDAY COULD HAMPER EFFORTS TO CONTAIN THE FIRE. MEANWHILE, FIREFIGHTERS IN NORTHLAND STILL FACE SEVERAL DAYS OF WORK ON ANOTHER SCRUB FIRE ON THE NORTHERN KAIPARA HARBOUR. THREE HELICOPTERS ARE WORKING TO DOUSE THE FIRE WHICH HAS BURNED OVER 200HA OF CONSERVATION LAND, WITH 80 FIRE CREW ON THE GROUND PUTTING OUT HOTSPOTS. AUTHORITIES SAY THE FIRE'S UNDER CONTROL AND IN A CONTAINED AREA. THE DEFENCE FORCE HAS SUSPENDED ALL FIRING ACTIVITY AT THE BURNHAM MILITARY TRAINING CAMP NEAR CHRISTCHURCH AFTER WEAPONS TESTING SPARKED A DANGEROUS SCRUB FIRE. A REVIEW OF FIRING RANGE SAFETY MEASURES IS UNDERWAY AFTER ARMY BOSSES TOOK RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE BLAZE. THE FLAMES THREATENED HOMES AND STOCK AND A WAS FIREFIGHTER HOSPITALISED WITH BURNS. THE AREA HAS NOW BEEN DECLARED SAFE, WITH MILITARY FIRE CREWS KEEPING AN EYE ON IT. THE MP LEADING AN INITIATIVE THAT COULD GET THOUSANDS MORE NZERS INTO THEIR OWN HOMES SAYS IT'S ALSO A WAY OF BUILDING SAVINGS FOR YOUNG FAMILIES. THE 'HOME FOR LIFE' SCHEME INVOLVES POLICIES WHICH INCLUDE A PLAN THAT WOULD SEE RENT PAYMENTS CONTRIBUTING TO FAMILIES EVENTUALLY OWNING THEIR HOUSE. A YOUNG FAMILY WOULD HAVE AN AGREEMENT WITH GOVERNMENT FOR A GOVERNMENT-BUILT HOUSE. THEY WOULD PAY A RENT WHICH WOULD COVER THE COSTS OF THE CAPITAL THAT GOVERNMENT HAS SPENT BUILDING THE HOME, AND THEY WOULD ALSO THEN BE ABLE TO PAY EXTRA TO BUY EQUITY IN THE HOME OVER TIME. THAT EQUITY OPERATES LIKE A SAVINGS IN THE HOUSE, SO OVER TIME THEY'LL BE ABLE TO BUILD UP THEIR SAVINGS IN THE HOUSE AND EVENTUALLY THEY MIGHT BE ABLE TO GET A COMMERCIAL MORTGAGE TO BUY IT OUTRIGHT. THAT'S THE GREEN PARTY'S METIRIA TUREI. A BIG TURNOUT IS EXPECTED NEAR TAURANGA THIS AFTERNOON FOR THE FUNERAL OF A TEENAGER KILLED IN A VAN CRASH IN KENYA. FORMER BETHLEHEM COLLEGE PUPIL CAITLIN DICKSON AND NZ VOLUNTEER WORKERS BRIAN AND GRACE JOHNSTON WERE KILLED WHEN THE VAN THEY WERE TRAVELLING IN ROLLED. THEIR KENYAN DRIVER WAS ALSO KILLED. THE NZERS WERE PART OF A GROUP OF 19 PEOPLE BUILDING CLASSROOMS IN A SMALL VILLAGE NORTH-WEST OF NAIROBI. A FUNERAL SERVICE FOR THE JOHNSTONS WILL BE HELD ON SATURDAY. US SECRETARY OF STATE HILLARY CLINTON HAS ANGRILY DEFENDED HER HANDLING OF THE RAID ON A US CONSULATE IN LIBYA. SHE'S BEEN GIVING EVIDENCE AT A SENATE COMMITTEE HEARING. SHE TOOK RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE SECURITY FAILURES THAT LED TO THE ATTACK ON SEPTEMBER THE 11TH LAST YEAR. THE US ENVOY TO LIBYA AND THREE OTHERS WERE KILLED. DURING QUESTIONING, MRS CLINTON LASHED OUT AT A SENATOR WHO ACCUSED THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION OF MISLEADING THE PUBLIC OVER THE STORMING. WE HAD FOUR DEAD AMERICANS. WAS IT BECAUSE OF A PROTEST OR WAS IT BECAUSE SOME GUYS OUT FOR A WALK ONE NIGHT DECIDED TO GO KILL SOME AMERICANS? WHAT DIFFERENCE, AT THIS POINT, DOES IT MAKE? IT IS OUR JOB TO FIGURE OUT WHAT HAPPENED AND DO EVERYTHING WE CAN TO EVER PREVENT IT FROM HAPPENING AGAIN, SENATOR. IT'LL BE HER LAST HIGH-PROFILE PUBLIC APPEARANCE BEFORE SHE STEPS DOWN FROM HER ROLE IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS. BRITAIN COULD BE ABOUT TO WIND BACK 40 YEARS OF CLOSER TIES WITH THE REST OF EUROPE. PRIME MINISTER DAVID CAMERON HAS PROMISED TO HOLD A VOTE ON STAYING IN OR OUT OF THE EUROPEAN UNION IF HE WINS THE NEXT ELECTION THERE. THAT COULD BE JUST AS GREAT AN UPHEAVAL FOR NZ EXPORTERS AS IT WAS WHEN BRITAIN JOINED THE COMMON MARKET. EUROPE CORRESPONDENT GARTH BRAY HAS MORE. IN 1975 BRITAIN HAD COLOUR TV, BUT THE CHOICE WAS BLACK AND WHITE AND THE VOTE TWO TO ONE IN FAVOUR OF CLOSER TIES WITH EUROPE. BRITAIN'S PRIME MINISTER IS OFFERING WHAT A BIGGER MAJORITY NOW WANT ` ANOTHER VOTE. IT WILL BE AN IN-OUT REFERENDUM. JUST NOT YET ` HE'S OFFERING THEM A VOTE FOUR YEARS FROM NOW AFTER THE NEXT GENERAL ELECTION. CRITICS ACCUSE HIM OF PLAYING DOMESTIC POLITICS WITH THE FATE OF HALF A BILLION PEOPLE IN SOME OF THE RICHEST ECONOMIES NZ TRADES WITH. (SPEAKS FRENCH) TRANSLATOR: IMAGINE THE EU AS A FOOTBALL CLUB. ONCE YOU'VE JOINED UP AND YOU'RE IN THIS CLUB, YOU CAN'T THEN SAY, 'WE WANT TO PLAY RUGBY.' THE OTHER COUNTRIES WILL NOT ACCEPT SUCH AN ULTIMATUM REPRESENTED BY THE SPEECH. CHERRY-PICKING IS NOT AN OPTION. THAT'S BECAUSE DAVID CAMERON SAYS HE DOESN'T WANT THE CLOSE UNION FRANCE GERMANY AND OTHERS ARE EMBRACING ` JUST A LOOSE FEDERATION BUILT AROUND TRADE. CHEERING IT'S GOING DOWN WELL WITH HIS TARGET MARKET ` HIS REBELLIOUS TORY BACK BENCH. THE IMMEDIATE WIN FOR DAVID CAMERON OUT OF THIS SPEECH IS THAT IT'S STARTING TO SOOTHE SOME OF THE UNRULY ELEMENTS HERE IN THE BRITAIN'S PARLIAMENT. THE WIN FOR NZ IS THAT HE'S PUT THE SINGLE MARKET AT THE CORE OF HOW THE EU SHOULD FUNCTION ` THAT THE PART THAT NZ'S MOST INTEREST IN WITH ITS $5B WORTH OF INTO THE EU EACH YEAR. THE OFFICIAL LINE IS THAT NZ IS HAPPY FOR BRITONS TO DECIDE WHAT THEY WANT. BUT IF BRITAIN PULLED OUT OF THE EU, WE WOULD LOSE A POWERFUL FRIEND AND NATURAL ALLY, AND EVEN THEIR TOUGH TALK ABOUT THREATENING TO EXIT IS MAKING THEM LESS USEFUL NOW IN DIPLOMATIC BATTLES THAT COULD WIND UP COSTING OUR EXPORTERS DEARLY. GARTH BRAY, ONE NEWS, LONDON. STILL TO COME ON MIDDAY ` IN BUSINESS NEWS TECH GIANT APPLE'S RESULT DISAPPOINTS THE SHAREMARKET. THEN IN SPORT ` LASHING OUT AT A TEENAGE BALL BOY GETS A FOOTBALL PLAYER SENT OFF ` AMAZING PICTURES ` AND TENNIS STAR ROGER FEDERER PREPARES FOR HIS 10TH CONSECUTIVE AUSTRALIAN OPEN SEMI-FINAL AFTER BEATING A DETERMINED JO-WILFRIED TSONGA. 1 WITH ME NOW IS GRETCHEN WILLIAMSON FROM CRAIGS INVESTMENT PARTNERS. THIS ITEM WILL BE CAPTIONED LIVE. FOR MORE, GO TO ONENEWS.CO.NZ AND CLICK ON 'BUSINESS'. GIANT APPLE REPORTED ITS QUARTERLY RESULT ` BETTER THAN EXPECTED AND DISAPPOINTING ALL AT ONCE? IT'S A BATTLE BETWEEN EXPECTATIONS AND REALITY AND THE MARKET NEEDS TO REALIGN BACK TO REALITY 47.6 MILLION IPHONES SOLD DURING THE QUARTER, WHICH ISN'T BAD BUT THE MARKET EXPECTING 50 MILLION THE MARKET WAS LOOKING FOR OUTLOOK COMMENTS 41B-43B FOR THE NEXT QUARTER. THE MARKET EXPECTED 46B APPLE IS TRADING ON NINE TIMES ITS PRICE-TO-EARNING RATIO THE STOCKS FELL 6%. THE US GOVERNMENT WRANGLING OVER DEBT CONTINUES. THEY'VE AGREED ON SOMETHING ` THEY'RE GOING TO BORROW MORE. THEYVE EXTENDED THE TIMETABLE ALLOWING THEM TO CONTINUE TO PAY BILLS THANK YOU GRETCHEN WILLIAMSON FROM CRAIGS INVESTMENT PARTNERS. SPORT ` TENNIS ` ROGER FEDERER'S OVERCOME A DETERMINED JO-WILFRIED TSONGA IN FIVE SETS TO GO THROUGH TO THE SEMIS OF THE AUSTRALIAN OPEN; THE FRENCH SEVENTH SEED, IN THE LIGHT SHORTS, PRODUCING SOME BRILLIANT SHOTMAKING IN THE FOURTH SET TO FORCE THE DECIDER. BUT DESPITE A FEW OFF MOMENTS, FEDERER WAS STILL ABLE TO DELIVER WHEN IT COUNTED. OH, WHAT A SHOT! WAS THAT IN OR OUT? I THINK IT'S CALLED IN. IT IS. IT TOUCHED THE TOP OF THE TAPE. WOW. TSONGA'S LIGHT-HEARTED GESTURE EASING SOME TENSION, BUT NOT ENOUGH TO SAVE THE FRENCHMAN. FEDERER MAINTAINED HIS COMPOSURE TO WIN 7-6, 4-6, 7-6, 3-6, 6-3. I SERVED THREE GREAT SERVES, AND IT'S 205, 210 ALMOST, AND EVERY TIME HE GOT IT BACK, AND THAT'S JUST WHAT HE CAN DO, YOU KNOW? SO THAT'S WHY HE REMAINS DANGEROUS THROUGHOUT A MATCH, THROUGHOUT A TOURNAMENT, THROUGHOUT, YOU KNOW, A SEASON, SO I FEEL A BIT LUCKY, OBVIOUSLY, TO COME THROUGH. THE SWISS MAESTRO'S VICTORY MEANS ALL FOUR TOP-SEEDED MEN HAVE MADE IT THROUGH TO THE SEMIS. HE'LL PLAY ANDY MURRAY AFTER THE SCOT MADE LIGHT WORK OF UNSEEDED FRENCHMAN JEREMY CHARDY. AND GAME, SET AND MATCH. ONE MATCH POINT IS ALL THAT'S REQUIRED, ANDY MURRAY COMFORTABLY THROUGH TO THE SEMI-FINALS. 6-4, 6-1, 6-2 THE FINAL SCORE THERE. SO FEDERER PLAYS MURRAY FOR A PLACE IN THE FINAL TOMORROW. MEANTIME, NOVAK DJOKOVIC AND HEINEKEN OPEN CHAMPION DAVID FERRER GO HEAD TO HEAD IN THEIR SEMI LATER TONIGHT. THE WOMEN'S SEMI-FINALS ARE ALSO BEING PLAYED THIS AFTERNOON. MARIA SHARAPOVA IS UP AGAINST LI NA, AND THE NEW BIG NAME IN TENNIS, TEENAGER SLOANE STEPHENS, TAKES ON WORLD NUMBER ONE VICTORIA AZARENKA. CRICKET ` AND AUSTRALIA AND SRI LANKA HAVE DRAWN THEIR ONE-DAY SERIES TWO GAMES EACH, WITH AUSTRALIA WINNING THE FINAL GAME IN HOBART LAST NIGHT. AUSTRALIA BATTED FIRST, AND PHIL HUGHES SMASHED AN UNBEATEN 138 TO GUIDE THE HOME SIDE TO 247/5 FROM THEIR 50 OVERS. AFTER A STRONG START TO THEIR INNINGS, SRI LANKA FELL APART. OH, HE GOT HIM! HE BOWLED HIM ALL OVER THE PLACE. AND BOWLS HIM! ENRIQUES IS THE WINNER ON THIS OCCASION. SRI LANKA WAS EVENTUALLY ALL OUT FOR 215, SO AUSTRALIA WINNING BY 32 RUNS TO SQUARE THE SERIES. BACK HERE, DUMPED BLACKCAPS CAPTAIN ROSS TAYLOR IS PLAYING HIS COMEBACK MATCH FOR CENTRAL DISTRICTS AGAINST CANTERBURY IN NAPIER TODAY. MEANWHILE, ANOTHER EXILED BATSMAN JESSE RYDER WAS OUT FOR JUST FOUR RUNS THIS MORNING IN WELLINGTON'S CLASH WITH OTAGO IN DUNEDIN. RYDER IS EXPECTED TO MAKE AN ANNOUNCEMENT ABOUT HIS PLAYING FUTURE NEXT WEEK. TO BRITISH FOOTBALL NOW. WELSH CLUB SWANSEA CITY'S REACHED ITS FIRST MAJOR ENGLISH FINAL AFTER BEATING CHELSEA ON AGGREGATE IN THEIR LEAGUE CUP SEMI-FINAL THIS MORNING. BUT THE MATCH WILL BE REMEMBERED MORE FOR THIS UGLY INCIDENT THAN SWANSEA'S TRIUMPH. CHELSEA'S BELGIAN PLAYMAKER EDEN HAZARD SENT OFF AFTER KICKING THE BALL BOY, WHO WAS LYING ON TOP OF THE BALL. AS FOR THE MATCH ITSELF, IT ENDED AT 0-0, GIVING SWANSEA A 2-0 WIN ON AGGREGATE. THEY'LL TAKE ON FOURTH-TIER BRADFORD CITY IN THAT FINAL. BRADFORD'S BECOME THE LOWEST-PLACED FOOTBALL SIDE EVER TO REACH A WEMBLEY CUP FINAL, AFTER IT BEAT ASTON VILLA. BRADFORD CITY'S ENTIRE TEAM COSTS LESS THAN ONE OF THEIR OPPONENTS EARNS IN JUST ONE WEEK, AND AS THE BBC'S TIM FRANKS REPORTS, THEIR ACHIEVEMENT IS STILL SINKING IN. THE RECEIVED WISDOM IN FOOTBALL IS THAT SEMI-FINAL VICTORIES AREN'T WORTH GETTING THAT EXCITED ABOUT ` THE BIG GAME'S YET TO COME. TRY TELLING THAT TO BRADFORD CITY. THEY KNOCKED OUT THREE PREMIER LEAGUE CLUBS EN ROUTE TO THE FINAL. NO OTHER FOURTH-TIER TEAM HAS MANAGED SUCH A FEAT. 1911 WAS THE LAST TIME ` THE ONLY TIME ` BRADFORD CITY WERE IN A MAJOR CUP FINAL. THEIR HERO LAST NIGHT WAS A FORMER SUPERMARKET-SHELF STACKER. IT'S NOT REALLY SUNK IN, WHAT THE LADS HAVE ACHIEVED. AND, YOU KNOW, IT'S JUST A DELIGHT FOR EVERYONE, YOU KNOW, CONNECTED TO THE CLUB ` YOU KNOW, THE BACK-ROOM STAFF THAT WORK HARD AND, YOU KNOW, THE TWO CHAIRMAN THAT PUT THE MONEY IN AND THE FANS THAT COME WEEK IN, WEEK OUT. I THINK IT WAS WITHOUT A DOUBT. THIS FAN HAD MORE THAN MOST INVESTED IN A BRADFORD WIN, HIS SCARVES PRINTED UP EVEN BEFORE KICK-OFF LAST NIGHT. I THINK I LOST A HALF A STONE. (CHUCKLES) I WAS PACING LIKE A CAGED LION. I WAS PACING UP AND DOWN THE FRONT ROOM, WATCHING IT. IT WAS MORE THAN 50 YEARS AGO THAT A TEAM FROM THE FOURTH DIVISION OF THE TEAM MADE IT TO A MAJOR CUP FINAL, ROCHDALE LOSING IN THE END TO NORWICH. AND OVER THE YEARS, AS THE CHASM BETWEEN THE TOP AND BOTTOM OF THE FOOTBALL LEAGUE HAS WIDENED AND DEEPENED, THE PROSPECT OF A REPEAT APPEARED ALL THE MORE DISTANT. SO MUCH OF FOOTBALL IS DRENCHED IN A SORT OF STALE HYSTERIA, BUT THIS HAS BEEN AN ACHIEVEMENT OF REAL WONDER. UNDER FREEZING GREY SKIES, BRADFORD CITY HAS GIVEN SPORTS LOVERS A STORY THAT WILL WARM THEM FOR YEARS TO COME. KIWI GOLFER MICHAEL CAMPBELL'S CONTINUED HIS FINE FORM IN THE EUROPEAN PGA TOUR, POSTING AN IMPRESSIVE FOUR-UNDER-PAR 68 IN THE FIRST ROUND OF THE QATAR MASTERS. CAMPBELL CARDED FIVE BIRDIES AND A BOGEY AT THE DOHA GOLF CLUB. HE'S NOW JUST THREE SHOTS OFF THE LEAD, SHARING 11TH PLACE. HE WAS TIED 17TH IN ABU DHABI LAST WEEK AND ATTRIBUTES HIS LATEST GOOD ROUND TO BETTER PUTTING. OH, WELL DONE, CAMPBELL. REALLY GOOD TO SEE HIM PLAYING WELL AGAIN. HE REALLY WENT THROUGH A COUPLE OF AWFUL YEARS REALLY IN THE DOLDRUMS. PORTUGAL'S RICARDO SANTOS LEADS ON SEVEN UNDER PAR. TO NETBALL NOW, WHERE ENGLAND'S MADE HISTORY, CLINCHING ITS FIRST EVER SERIES WIN OVER AUSTRALIA. PLAYING AT WEMBLEY ARENA, ENGLAND STUNNED THE WORLD CHAMPIONS 51-49 THIS MORNING TO GO TWO-UP IN THE THREE-MATCH SERIES. IT'S ONLY THE HOME SIDE'S FOURTH EVER WIN AGAINST AUSTRALIA. STILL TO COME ON MIDDAY ` I'LL BE BACK WITH THE AFTERNOON WEATHER. A NEW CAMPAIGN TO END WORLD HUNGER HAS BEEN LAUNCHED IN LONDON. THE CAMPAIGN FEATURES A BEVY OF STARS, INCLUDING ONE DIRECTION AND PHILANTHROPIST BILL GATES. ONE-THIRD OF CHILDREN IN SUB-SAHARA AND AFRICA ARE MALNOURISHED. THE WORLD PRODUCES ENOUGH FOOD FOR EVERYONE. WHY ARE ONE BILLION PEOPLE GOING HUNGRY? THEY'RE HOPING TO PERSUADE THE BRITISH PRIME MINISTER TO DO MORE TO LOOK AT THE ISSUES CAUSING HUNGER DURING BRITAIN'S FORTHCOMING PRESIDENCY OF THE G8. MORE THAN TWO MILLION CHILDREN ARE THOUGHT TO DIE EACH YEAR DUE TO A LACK OF NUTRITION. A CHINESE SCIENTIST WANTS IT MADE A CRIMINAL OFFENCE TO WASTE FOOD. MORE THAN 50 BILLION KILOGRAMS OF FOOD IS THROWN OUT IN CHINA EVERY YEAR. THAT'S ABOUT 9% OF THE COUNTRY'S ANNUAL GRAIN OUTPUT. THE RESPECTED AGRICULTURAL SCIENTIST SAYS A MORAL ARGUMENT ALONE ISN'T GOING TO GET PEOPLE TO STOP WASTING FOOD, BUT OUTLAWING IT WILL. HE DIDN'T OFFER ANY IDEAS ON HOW SUCH A LAW WOULD BE POLICED. TO THE TOP STORIES ON OUR WEBSITE. BAD WEATHER IS SEVERELY HAMPERING THE SEARCH FOR A SMALL PLANE MISSING ON A FLIGHT NEAR THE SOUTH POLE. A BIG TURNOUT IS EXPECTED AT THE FUNERAL FOR 19-YEAR-OLD AID WORKER CAITLIN DICKSON, WHO DIED IN KENYA LAST WEEK. AND AN OFF-FIELD INCIDENT INVOLVING A BALL BOY HAS MARRED SWANSEA CITY'S FAIRY-TALE RUN TO THEIR FIRST EVER MAJOR ENGLISH FOOTBALL FINAL. NOW TO THE WEATHER.
