POPE BENEDICT STEPS DOWN ` THE WORLD'S BILLION CATHOLICS WAIT TO SEE WHO'LL STEP UP. WINSTON PETERS REFUSES TO REMOVE A NZ FIRST MP CONDEMNED FOR RACISM. AND 4000 PEOPLE ADRIFT AT SEA ` HOW A DREAM CRUISE BECAME A NIGHTMARE. POPE BENEDICT ROCKED ROME AND SENT SHOCKWAVES AROUND THE WORLD BY ANNOUNCING HE'S QUITTING ` THE FIRST TIME IN 600 YEARS A PONTIFF HAS STOOD DOWN. THE DECISION'S CREATED A POWER VACUUM IN ONE OF THE WORLD'S MOST POWERFUL INSTITUTIONS. WE'LL CROSS LIVE TO EUROPE CORRESPONDENT GARTH BRAY TO TALK ABOUT THAT IN A MOMENT. BUT FIRST, HOW POPE BENEDICT REACHED THIS DECISION. HERE'S THE ABC'S JEFFREY KOFMAN. IT BEGAN AS A ROUTINE VATICAN CEREMONY, BUT THE POPE'S ANNOUNCEMENT IN LATIN WAS ANYTHING BUT ROUTINE. WITH THAT, FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 600 YEARS, A POPE IS RESIGNING. WITH THAT, FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 600 YEARS, A POPE IS RESIGNING. BENEDICT XVI WAS ALREADY OLD AT 78 WHEN HE BECAME POPE. THAT WAS 2005. HERE HE IS ALMOST EIGHT YEARS LATER, CLEARLY FRAIL AND FEEBLE. HIS OLDER BROTHER, FATHER GEORG RATZINGER, SAID TODAY BENEDICT IS HAVING TROUBLE WALKING AND HAS BEEN ADVISED BY HIS DOCTORS TO STOP TRAVELLING OVERSEAS. BENEDICT WILL RELINQUISH HIS PAPACY ON FEBRUARY 28TH. TODAY'S DECISION BY BENEDICT XVI CAME AS A HUGE SURPRISE TO ME AND I THINK TO EVERYONE IN ROME, AND ALSO I THINK TO EVERYONE IN THE VATICAN. AS A CARDINAL, JOSEPH RATZINGER WAS KNOWN AS JOHN PAUL II'S ENFORCER OF RELIGIOUS DOCTRINE. HE DID NOT LIKE ANSWERING QUESTIONS. HERE'S ABC'S BRIAN ROSS ASKING HIM ABOUT A SEXUAL ABUSE CASE IN 2002. BUT THERE'S A QUESTION WHETHER YOU` COME TO ME WHEN A MOMENT IS GIVEN. NOT YET. IN HIS ALMOST EIGHT YEARS AS POPE, HE WOULD SOMETIMES PLAY THE PIANO, HE ALWAYS WORE HIS PRADA-STYLE RED SHOES, BUT HIS PASSION WAS PREACHING THE GOSPEL. HE'S NEVER ENJOYED BEING AN ADMINISTRATOR, AND HE PAID A PRICE FOR THAT. HIS PAPACY WILL BE REMEMBERED FOR ITS SCANDALS. THOSE ENDLESS SEXUAL ABUSE COVER-UPS WHICH COST MORE THEN $3B TO SETTLE; A STRING OF FINANCIAL SCANDALS; BENEDICT TRIED AND FAILED TO CLEAN UP CORRUPTION; AND THE NOTORIOUS VATI-LEAKS SCANDAL, WITH DAILY EXPOSES IN ITALIAN NEWSPAPERS OF VATICAN BACKSTABBING AND INTRIGUE. HE MAY HAVE BEEN THE FIRST POPE TO TWEET, BUT AS LEADER HE TRIED TO HOLD BACK THE FORCES OF MODERNITY, REFUSING TO EXPAND THE ROLE OF WOMEN. NOW, THOUGH, HE IS ACCEPTING THE REALITY OF THE MODERN WORLD, AS THE CATHOLIC CHURCH ENTERS NEW TERRITORY. SO HAS THE SHOCK OF POPE BENEDICT'S RESIGNATION SETTLED IN, AND WHO WILL THE BILLION-STRONG CATHOLIC COMMUNITY LOOK TO NEXT? JOINING US NOW FROM VATICAN CITY IS EUROPE CORRESPONDENT GARTH BRAY. GARTH, MOST ITALIANS ARE NEVER SHORT OF AN OPINION. WHAT ARE THEY SAYING THIS MORNING? TOP CONTENDERS FROM THE BOOKIES POINT OF VIEW ARE PETER TURKSON AND MARC OUELLET. TURKSON WOULD BE THE FIRST BLACK POPE IN CENTURIES. HE HAS A LOT OF CHARISMA. HAS BEEN BLURRY ON THE NOTION OF USING CONDOMS TO PREVENT AIDS. OUELLET IS ANOTHER GOOD OPTION. HE'S CANADIAN, OUELLET IS ANOTHER GOOD OPTION. HE'S CANADIAN, THERE'S NO PRECENDENT FOR A LIVING EX-POPE. WHAT ROLE WILL BENEDICT TAKE? HE'S HAD A HAND IN PICKING HIS SUCCESSOR. THERE ARE A LOT OF EUROPEAN CARDINALS SELECTING THE POPE. THANKS, GARTH, LIVE FROM VATICAN CITY. THERE ARE 500,000 CATHOLICS IN NZ, AND MANY OF THOSE ONE NEWS SPOKE TO BELIEVE THE POPE'S RESIGNATION IS A POSITIVE MOVE FOR THE CHURCH. WILL HINE HAS BEEN GAUGING REACTION. THE NEWS OVERNIGHT LEFT EARLY MORNING CONGREGATIONS REELING. IT'S A HUGE SHOCK ` NOT SOMETHING THAT ANY OF US HAS EXPERIENCED BEFORE. I'VE JUST HAD SOME AMAZING NEWS THAT POPE BENEDICT HAS RESIGNED. I DIDN'T THINK THEY COULD DO THAT EITHER, BUT THAT'S WHAT'S HAPPENED. IT WAS A SURPRISE TOO FOR DAME LYNDSAY FREER, WHO WAS IN ROME IN 2005 TO WITNESS POPE BENEDICT'S ELECTION. NORMALLY WHEN A POPE DIES, THERE'S TIME. IT DOESN'T COME LIKE A BOLT OUT OF THE BLUE USUALLY. SHE SAYS HIS TENURE WAS STRONG. HE'S A MAN OF GREAT CLARITY OF THOUGHT AND EXPRESSION, AND HIS TEACHINGS, HIS WRITINGS, HIS SERMONS HAVE REALLY BEEN WONDERFUL AND MOST ENLIGHTENING. AS FOR THE POPE'S SUCESSOR, AUCKLAND'S LEADING CATHOLICS SUGGEST THE PAPACY BE AWARDED TO A YOUNG ENERGETIC BISHOP. I THINK PROBABLY IT'S HAPPENED IN THE PAST, BUT NOT IN RECENT HISTORY. BUT I THINK INCREASINGLY THE CARDINALS AND PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD ARE VERY AWARE OF THE BURDEN AND THE DEMANDS THAT THE PAPACY MAKES ON AN INDIVIDUAL. IN 2005, NZ CARDINAL TOM WILLIAMS WENT TO ROME TO HELP ELECT POPE BENEDICT. NOW, THOUGH, HE'S OVER 80 YEARS OLD, SO ISN'T ALLOWED TO TAKE PART IN THE UPCOMING CONCLAVE. THERE'S NOT A NZ VOICE IN THE CONCLAVE. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN NICE IF THERE WERE, BUT I THINK WE'LL BE HAPPY WITH WHOEVER THEY ELECT. AS NEWS OF THE RESIGNATION SUNK IN, THERE WAS PRAISE. WHEN WE HAVE A LEADER LIKE THIS WHO TAKES QUITE A COURAGEOUS DECISION, I'M VERY SUPPORTIVE OF IT. I DO THINK IT'S A GOOD THING, AND I THINK IT WILL SET A PRECEDENT. THEY SHOULD KNOW WHO THEIR NEW POPE IS BY THE END OF NEXT MONTH. WILL HINE, ONE NEWS. NORTH KOREA'S ESCALATED TENSION ON THE KOREAN PENINSULA BY CONFIRMING WHAT IT SAYS WAS A SUCCESSFUL NUCLEAR TEST. ON STATE TELEVISION, THE NEWSREADER SAID A THIRD UNDERGROUND NUCLEAR TEST HAD BEEN CONDUCTED AT A SITE IN THE NORTHERN PART OF THE COUNTRY. THE MOVE IS LIKELY TO ANGER ITS MAIN ALLY, CHINA, AND INCREASE INTERNATIONAL ACTION AGAINST PYONGYANG. PRESIDENT OBAMA CALLED THE TEST A 'HIGHLY PROVOCATIVE ACT' THAT 'UNDERMINES REGIONAL STABILITY'. ANOTHER NZ FIRST MP'S IN TROUBLE TONIGHT FOR ANTI-MUSLIM COMMENTS. RICHARD PROSSER'S CALL TO BAN YOUNG MALE MUSLIMS FROM FLYING ON WESTERN AIRLINES COULD TRIGGER INTERNATIONAL EMBARRASSMENT. BUT HIS PARTY LEADER SAYS HE WON'T BE SACKED. HERE'S POLITICAL REPORTER MICHAEL PARKIN. NZ FIRST MP RICHARD PROSSER WANTS YOUNG MUSLIM MALES BANNED FROM FLYING, BUT TODAY HIS PARTY BANNED HIM FROM SAYING ANYMORE. < IS HE BEING RACIST THERE? LOOK, IT'S AN EXTREMIST VIEW ON AN EXTREME CIRCUMSTANCE IN THE WORLDS SECURITY AT THIS TIME, BUT YOU CAN'T GENERALISE. YOU CANT LUMP EVERYBODY IN THE SAME BOAT. AND FOR THAT REASON, IF HE IS BEING EXTREMIST, IS HE WELCOME IN YOUR PARTY? THAT'S NOT THE ISSUE. THE FACT IS PEOPLE MAKE MISTAKES. THIS IS A MISTAKE. IN HIS INVESTIGATE MAGAZINE COLUMN, MR PROSSER, WHO'S LONG WANTED TO BAN BURQAS, SAYS... THERE IS AN ELEMENT OF TRUTH TO WHAT HE IS SAYING. THE TIPPING POINT ` THE FACT THAT MR PROSSER WASN'T ALLOWED TO TAKE HIS POCKETKNIFE ON A RECENT FLIGHT FROM CHRISTCHURCH, WRITING THAT... YOU HEAR THEM SAID, AS I SAY, BUT YOU DON'T WANT TO HEAR THEM FROM A MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT, BECAUSE THEY ARE MEANT TO BE PEOPLE WHO CAN LEAD. IN A STATEMENT LATE THIS AFTERNOON, RICHARD PROSSER SAYS HE NOW AGREES THAT THE ARTICLE DOES NOT HAVE BALANCE AND THAT IT DOES NOT REPRESENT THE VIEWS OF NZ FIRST, BUT THERE IS NO APOLOGY. IT'S AN EXAMPLE OF THE DEPTH OF THINKING COMING OUT OF THE NZ FIRST CAUCUS, ISN'T IT. I MEAN, IT WAS AN APPALLING THING TO SAY. IT'S STUPID. IF THOSE SORTS OF COMMENTS WERE MADE IN THE MIDDLE EAST THEY COULD INCITE VIOLENCE. WE DON'T WANT THAT HERE. WHICH LEAVES RICHARD PROSSER IS FEELING THE BACKLASH. MICHAEL PARKIN, ONE NEWS. THE PRIME MINISTER'S COME UNDER ATTACK IN PARLIAMENT FOR ALLOWING MINISTER MAURICE WILLIAMSON TO KEEP HIS JOB. LABOUR CLAIMS THE BUILDING AND CONSTRUCTION MINISTER HAS A CONFLICT OF INTEREST BECAUSE OF HIS POSITION ON THE BOARD OF A COMPANY THAT'S WORKED WITH THE COLLAPSED FIRM MAINZEAL. MAURICE WILLIAMSON NEEDS TO MAKE A DECISION ` HE EITHER STANDS DOWN AS A DIRECTOR OR HE STANDS DOWN AS A MINISTER. BUT JOHN KEY STOOD BY HIS MAN, SAYING HOLYOAKE INDUSTRIES WAS NOT A CONTRACTOR OF MAINZEAL AND HE'S SATISFIED MAURICE WILLIAMSON CAN MANAGE ANY CONFLICT. POLICE SAY THEY WILL DO ALL THEY CAN TO FIND OUT WHAT HAPPENED AT THE EAST AUCKLAND PARTY WHERE A TEENAGER SAYS SHE WAS PUSHED BY OFFICERS AND LOST HER TWO FRONT TEETH. FOR THE FIRST TIME, POLICE HAVE SPOKEN PUBLICLY ABOUT ELLA EKETONE'S ACCUSATION. AS AREA COMMANDER FOR COUNTIES MANUKAU EAST, MY NUMBER ONE PRIORITY IS TO ESTABLISH EXACTLY WHAT OCCURRED THAT EVENING, AND THERE IS A FULL INVESTIGATION UNDERWAY. THE TEEN'S MUM SAYS POLICE HAVE APOLOGISED, BUT THAT'S NOT GOOD ENOUGH. I DON'T THINK HE SHOULD PROBABLY BE A POLICE OFFICER IF THAT'S HOW HE'S GOING TO USE HIS AUTHORITY, COS THAT'S NOT RIGHT. POLICE SPOKE TO ELLA AGAIN TODAY, AND THE INDEPENDENT POLICE CONDUCT AUTHORITY'S INVESTIGATION IS EXPECTED TO TAKE UP TO THREE WEEKS. POLICE ARE HUNTING A THIRD MAN AFTER A 48-YEAR-OLD WAS FOUND DEAD FOLLOWING A FIGHT IN AUCKLAND. TWO MEN HAVE ALREADY BEEN ARRESTED FOR ASSAULT AFTER THE DEATH OF MICHAEL ROBERTS AT HIS HOME IN THREE KINGS. THE INVESTIGATION'S FOCUSING ON THE HOUSE AND A VEHICLE FOUND IN WESTMERE. A CORONER WANTS THE LABELS ON A POPULAR FIZZY DRINK EXAMINED IN THE WAKE OF A MOTHER'S DEATH. NATASHA HARRIS DRANK SEVERAL LITRES OF COCA-COLA EACH DAY BEFORE SHE DIED THREE YEARS AGO. HEALTH REPORTER LORELEI MASON WITH THE STORY. NATASHA HARRIS (30) DRANK UP TO 10 LITRES OF COKE EVERY DAY ` TWICE THE RECOMMENDED SAFE DAILY LIMIT OF CAFFEINE. THE INVERCARGILL MOTHER OF EIGHT DIED SUDDENLY IN FEBRUARY 2010. SHE WAS FOUND SLUMPED AGAINST A WALL, GASPING FOR AIR, IN HER BATHROOM AT HOME. IN HIS FINDING, CORONER DAVID CRERAR MADE A CONNECTION BETWEEN HER DEATH AND HER COKE CONSUMPTION. HIS DECISION ALSO REVEALED MS HARRIS LIKELY SUFFERED FROM A MYRIAD OF OTHER HEALTH CONDITIONS, INCLUDING LIVER PROBLEMS, A RACING HEART, AND MISSING TEETH, WHICH HER FAMILY SAY HAD ROTTED FROM COKE DRINKING. BUT COCA-COLA SAYS THE CAUSE OF DEATH IS FAR FROM CLEAR. IN A STATEMENT, THE COMPANY TOLD ONE NEWS THE CORONER HIMSELF ACKNOWLEDGED HE COULD NOT BE CERTAIN WHAT CAUSED MS HARRIS' HEART ATTACK. THEREFORE... THE CORONER NOW WANTS GOVERNMENT BODIES SUCH AS THE FOOD SAFETY AUTHORITY TO CONSIDER WHETHER CURRENT WARNING LABELS ON CARBONATED DRINKS ARE SUFFICIENT TO PROTECT CONSUMERS. HE WANTS THEM TO CONSIDER EITHER LOWERING THE CAFFEINE PERCENTAGE LIMIT OR CREATING MORE SPECIFIC WARNINGS, LIKE THOSE PRINTED ON OTHER COCA-COLA PRODUCTS CONTAINING CAFFEINE. DAVID CRERAR ALSO WANTS COCA-COLA ITSELF TO CONSIDER PRINTING CAFFEINE QUANTITY LABELS ON ITS DRINKS. LORELEI MASON, ONE NEWS. ANYONE WANTING TO MAKE THE PILGRIMAGE TO GALLIPOLI FOR THE 100-YEAR ANNIVERSARY IN TWO YEARS' TIME WILL HAVE TO PUT THEIR NAMES INTO A BALLOT. THE TURKISH GOVERNMENT'S SET THE MAXIMUM CAPACITY FOR THE 2015 ANZAC DAY COMMEMORATIVE SERVICE AT 10,500 PEOPLE. 2000 PLACES WILL BE AVAILABLE TO NZERS, BUT DEMAND'S EXPECTED TO GREATLY EXCEED THAT. IT'S BECOME A BIT OF A PILGRIMAGE FOR NZERS AND AUSTRALIAN OVERSEAS, SO I DO EXPECT THERE'LL BE A HIGH LEVEL OF INTEREST FROM PEOPLE DOMICILED IN EUROPE AS WELL. MICHAEL WOODHOUSE SAYS THE BALLOT SYSTEM IS LIKELY TO GIVE SOME PREFERENCE TO DECEDENTS OF GALLIPOLI VETERANS. OUR NATIONAL MARMITE CRISIS IS OVER. PHEW! SANITARIUM THIS EVENING ANNOUNCED KIWI'S FAVOURITE SPREAD IS BACK IN PRODUCTION AND SOON TO BE BACK ON THE SHELF. HELEN CASTLES WITH MORE ON THE GOOD NEWS. MARMITE LOVERS WON'T HAVE TO GO WITHOUT FOR TOO MUCH LONGER. MARMITE! ARE YOU SERIOUS?! HALLE-BLOODY-LUJAH. FOR ALMOST A YEAR NOW, IT'S BECOME BLACK GOLD. EARTHQUAKE DAMAGE TO A COOLING TOWER CLOSED THE CHRISTCHURCH PLANT DOWN IN MARCH 2012. FANS RUSHED TO STOCK UP AND SUPERMARKETS QUICKLY RAN DRY. NOW MARMITE MAKER SANITARIUM SAYS THE SPREAD WILL BE BACK ON SHELF FROM MARCH 20TH. THE BIG THING NOW IS TO MAKE SURE WE'VE GOT ENOUGH STOCK THAT WE CAN GET IT OUT INTO ALL THE RETAIL OUTLETS. IT WILL PUT AN END TO THE ONLINE FLEECING OF MARMITE JUNKIES. JUST PRIOR TO THE ANNOUNCEMENT, THERE WERE MORE THAN A HUNDRED MARMITE LISTINGS ON TRADE ME. A 250G JAR THAT WOULD NORMALLY GO FOR AROUND $5 HAD A RESERVE OF UP TO $120. AND SOME OF THE MARMITE PRODUCTS HAD EVEN BEEN USED. WHILE SOME WERE PREPARED TO PAY THE EXORBITANT PRICE, OTHERS CROSSED OVER TO VEGEMITE. HAVEN'T BEEN COPING. IT'S BEEN VEGEMITE IN CUPBOARD THE WHOLE TIME, BUT I HATE IT. I DO LIKE VEGEMITE NOW. I DIDN'T LIKE IT AT THE BEGINNING, BUT YOU HAVE TO USE SOMETHING. BUT SANITARIUM IS CONFIDENT ITS CUSTOMERS WILL COME BACK. I BELIEVE THAT ONCE WE'RE BACK ON SHELF AGAIN, KIWIS WILL RETURN TO THE MUCH-LOVED MARMITE. IT HAD BEEN EXPECTED THE FACTORY WOULD RESUME PRODUCTION HALFWAY THROUGH LAST YEAR, BUT MORE EARTHQUAKE DAMAGE WAS REVEALED AND THE DATE PUSHED BACK. WE'VE STRENGTHENED OUR BUILDING WHERE MARMITE PRODUCTION TAKES PLACE. 250G JARS WILL BE ON THE SHELVES FIRST, FOLLOWED BY OTHER PRODUCTS. HELEN CASTLES, ONE NEWS.

IT'S STRANDED 240KM OFF THE YUCATAN PENINSULA IN MEXICO. ABC'S MATT GUTMAN REPORTS. THESE ARE THE FIRST IMAGES OF RESCUE EFFORTS FOR THE CARNIVAL TRIUMPH. THE US COASTGUARD IS MONITORING THE CRUISING COLOSSUS FLOATING DEAD IN THE WATER 150 MILES OFF THE COAST OF MEXICO. CARNIVAL TRIUMPH IS ADRIFT. THEY ARE OPERATING ON EMERGENCY POWER. CURRENTLY IN DEEP WATER AND ARE NOT NEAR ANY HAZARDS OF NAVIGATION. THE TRIUMPH ` 2.5 FOOTBALL FIELDS LONG AND EVEN BIGGER THAN THE TITANIC ` WAS BOBBING LIKE A CORK AFTER A FIRE BLEW OUT ITS FOUR ENGINES. IT'S NORMALLY A SPARKLING CITY ON THE SEA, BUT NOW CONDITIONS ARE TURNING HORRENDOUS. AFTER 36 HOURS, GARBAGE IS PILING UP, NO AIR CONDITIONING, MANY TOILETS NOT WORKING.

TWO YEARS AGO, ANOTHER CARNIVAL SHIP, THE SPLENDOR, WAS ALSO CRIPPLED BY AN ENGINE FIRE. THE US NAVY HAD TO CHOPPER IN 70,000 POUNDS OF SUPPLIES. AND IT'LL TAKE TWO TUGS THREE DAYS TO HAUL THE SHIP BACK TO LAND. LOS ANGELES POLICE HAVE RECEIVED HUNDREDS OF CALLS AFTER A $1.2M REWARD WAS OFFERED FOR AN EX-POLICEMAN ACCUSED OF THREE MURDERS. CHRISTOPHER DORNER'S BEEN ON THE RUN SINCE LAST WEEK. HE'S BELIEVED TO HAVE KILLED THREE PEOPLE IN REVENGE FOR HIS SACKING FROM LOS ANGELES POLICE IN 2008. DORNER WAS FIRED FOR MAKING FALSE STATEMENTS AGAINST A COLLEAGUE, BUT INSISTS HE WAS DISMISSED FOR RACIAL REASONS. FACEBOOK IS BEING SUED OVER THE USE OF TWO OF ITS MAIN FEATURES.

BACK HOME NOW, DUNEDIN CITY COUNCIL HAS AGREED TO A CONDITIONAL SALE OF CARISBROOK STADIUM. DETAILS OF THE DEAL ARE CONFIDENTIAL AT THE MOMENT AND THE BUYER IS CARRYING OUT DUE DILIGENCE. DUNEDIN CITY COUNCIL BOUGHT CARISBROOK AND A NUMBER OF OTHER NEARBY PROPERTIES FOR $7M IN 2009 ONCE PLANS TO BUILD THE FORSYTH BARR STADIUM WERE CONFIRMED. AND CHRISTCHURCH'S NEW CARDBOARD CATHEDRAL HAS MARKED AN IMPORTANT MILESTONE. THE FIRST OF THE CARDBOARD TUBES VITAL TO CONSTRUCTION HAS BEEN INSTALLED AFTER STRONG WINDS DELAYED PROGRESS YESTERDAY. DESPITE THE CONDITIONS COMING RIGHT TODAY, IT'S STILL A VERY DIFFICULT OPERATION. IT'S A VERY CHALLENGING THING, NOT ONLY FOR THE CRANE DRIVER, BUT FOR THE ENGINEERS AND THE ARCHITECTS TO GET RIGHT, BECAUSE THE ROOF OF THIS BUILDING IS VERY INTERESTING ` IT RISES UP AND FROM THE ENTRY POINT STARTS TO NARROW. SO THERE ARE NO TWO FITTINGS THAT ARE EXACTLY THE SAME. IT WILL TAKE APPROXIMATELY THREE WEEKS FOR AROUND 100 TUBES, EACH WEIGHING 120 KILOGRAMS, TO BE INSTALLED. THE CATHEDRAL IS DUE TO BE COMPLETED IN APRIL. JUST AHEAD ` WE'VE YOUR FORECAST FOR TOMORROW. AND CAN NZ EVEN IT UP IN THE T20 SERIES AGAINST ENGLAND?
