GOOD EVENING. A COUPLE OF WEAK FRONTS ARE MAKING THEIR WAY UP OVER THE COUNTRY ` ONE OVER THE NORTH ISLAND AND ONE OVER THE SOUTH ISLAND. NOT A LOT OF RAIN WITH THEM ` IN FACT, WE'VE GOT MORE RAIN OUT OF THE SHOWERY WESTERLY BLASTING SOUTHERN PARTS OF THE SOUTH ISLAND. ANOTHER HIGH STARTS TO MOVE IN TOMORROW, BUT IT WON'T KEEP ALL THE RAIN AWAY. I'LL HAVE THE FORECAST FOR YOUR PLACE WITHIN THE HOUR. RIGHT NOW, IT'S 6 O'CLOCK. DUE TO THE LIVE NATURE OF ONE NEWS WE APOLOGISE FOR THE LACK OF CAPTIONS FOR SOME ITEMS. HE'S SORRY NOW, BUT CALLS MOUNT FOR A NZ FIRST MP TO QUIT PARLIAMENT AFTER HIS ANTI-MUSLIM RANT. A FIERY GUN BATTLE AS LA POLICE FINALLY CATCH UP WITH A FUGITIVE EX-COP WHO'S NOW SHOT DEAD ANOTHER OFFICER. ON THE BEAT AND ONLINE ` POLICE HERE GO HI-TECH AS THEY ROLLOUT MOBILE DEVICES IN THEIR BATTLE AGAINST CRIME. AND CORRUPT BOUT? A BIG HIT FOR WORLD SPORT AS TOP WATCHDOG SAYS A QUARTER OF GLOBAL COMPETITION IS CONTROLLED BY CRIMINALS. KIA ORA. GOOD EVENING. NZ FIRST MP RICHARD PROSSER HAS APOLOGISED FOR HIS ANTI-MUSLIM RANT IN A MAGAZINE. BUT HE WON'T RESIGN. MR PROSSER NOW ADMITS CALLING FOR YOUNG MUSLIM MEN TO BE BANNED FROM WESTERN AIRLINES IS OFFENSIVE. POLITICAL REPORTER MICHAEL PARKIN'S BEEN CANVASSING THE MAIN PARTIES TO SEE IF THEY'D NOW BE PREPARED TO WORK WITH MR PROSSER AND NZ FIRST IN ANY FUTURE COALITION. RICHARD PROSSER HAS GOT RID OF HIS BEARD AND, APPARENTLY, THE ANTI-MUSLIM OPINIONS HE LAID OUT IN THIS COLUMN. WORDS LIKE 'MISOGYNIST TROGLODYTES FROM WOGISTAN' ` > I MEAN, IT'S NOT LIKE YOU CAME UP WITH THESE OFF THE CUFF, IS IT? > YOU'RE RIGHT, YOU'RE RIGHT. THERE'S A LOT OF LANGUAGE THAT I'VE USED IN THAT COLUMN AND IN THE PAST THAT I SHOULDN'T BE USING NOW. I SHOULDN'T BE THINKING THAT WAY. I SHOULD BE GOING FORWARD LOOKING FOR POSITIVE SOLUTIONS, SO THOSE ARE THINGS I'M NOT GOING TO BE DOING ANY MORE. THE NZ FIRST MP UNLEASHED ON MUSLIMS AFTER HAVING HIS POCKETKNIFE CONFISCATED AT THE CHRISTCHURCH AIRPORT, PROCLAIMING 'ABDUL' SHOULD NOT BE ALLOW TO FLY AND INSTEAD 'GO RIDE A CAMEL'. DO YOU STILL BELIEVE THAT YOUNG MALE MUSLIMS > SHOULD BE BANNED FROM FLYING? > HAVING HAD TIME TO THINK ABOUT IT, WHAT I SHOULD HAVE SAID WAS` IF I WAS GOING TO GO DOWN THAT LINE, I SHOULD HAVE CALLED FOR AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE MERITS OF TARGETED PROFILING AND NOT JUMPED UP AND SAID WE SHOULD HAVE A BLANKET BAN. FRIENDLESS IN THE HOUSE TODAY, RICHARD PROSSER SAYS HE'LL GIVE UP THE COLUMN BUT NOT HIS POSITION AS AN MP. I REALISE THAT'S CAUSED OFFENCE TO THOSE PEOPLE UNJUSTIFIABLY AND UNNECESSARILY, AND I'M APOLOGISING UNRESERVEDLY TO THEM. THE STORY HAS ALREADY GRABBED HEADLINES AROUND THE WORLD, AND IN A RARE MOVE, MP'S ACROSS THE HOUSE AGREED TO MAKE A PUBLIC STATEMENT DISTANCING THEMSELVES FROM HIS COMMENTS. THE RIGHTS AND DIGNITY OF ALL PEOPLE, IN PARTICULAR OF MUSLIMS, SHOULD BE UPHELD. HOWEVER, NO PARTY IS WILLING TO GIVE NZ FIRST AN ULTIMATUM SAYING 'DUMP RICHARD PROSSER IF YOU WANT A FUTURE COALITION DEAL WITH US.' WILL YOU RULE HIM OUT OF BEING A CABINET MINISTER? > WELL, WE HAVEN'T EVEN RULED NZ FIRST IN OR OUT YET, SO, LOOK, COME AND ASK ME IN 2014. NO. THIS IS A CHALLENGE FOR NZ FIRST. DO THEY SUPPORT HIS VIEWS? IF SO, THEY WILL KEEP HIM AND THERE WILL BE COSTS TO THAT FOR THEM. < AND THE COST IS YOU WON'T WORK WITH THEM? THE COST OF THAT WILL BE TO THEM. SOMEBODY HOLDING THOSE VIEWS COULD NEVER BE A MINISTER IN A GOVERNMENT THAT I WOULD LEAD. YOU CANT RULE OUT WORKING WITH NZ FIRST IF HE'S IN THAT PARTY? > WELL, WE DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S GOING TO BE A NZ FIRST IN A COALITION. EVEN WITH HIS FOOT OUT OF HIS MOUTH, RICHARD PROSSER NOW WON'T BE CLIMBING BEYOND THE BACKBENCHES. MICHAEL PARKIN, ONE NEWS. IN NEWS JUST IN, ONE OF THE COUNTRY'S LARGEST ELECTRICITY COMPANIES, CONTACT ENERGY, IS SLASHING 10% OF ITS WORKFORCE DESPITE A BIG FORECAST PROFIT. MORE THAN 100 JOBS WILL GO IN A BID TO SAVE CONTACT $40M. LET'S GO NOW LIVE OUR POLITICAL EDITOR CORIN DANN FOR MORE. THIS IS IN DIRECT RESONSE TO WEAKENING ENERGY DEMAND. IT IS AN OMNINOUS SIGN TO GOVERNMENT OWNED ENERGY COMAPNIES. IF CONTACT ENERGY HAS CUT STAFF, WHAT MUST THE SOE'S DO? THIS RAISES QUESTIONS ABOUT THE FLOAT. PLENTY OF ISSUES TO WORK THROUGH. LABOUR SAYS THIS SHOWS THAT PRIVATE COMPANIES CUT STAFF WHYEN TIMES ARE TOUGH THANKS, CORIN DANN. MILLIONS OF DOLLARS OF TAXPAYERS' MONEY WILL BE PUMPED INTO NOVOPAY TO TRY AND FIX THE FLAWED TEACHER PAY SYSTEM. THE MINISTER CHARGED WITH SORTING OUT ITS PROBLEMS SAYS TRYING TO IMPLEMENT ANOTHER PAY SCHEME COULD TAKE A YEAR. HERE'S DEPUTY POLITICAL EDITOR JESSICA MUTCH. COMPLAINTS ABOUT NOVOPAY ARE ANSWERED HERE. AND ONE NEWS WAS INVITED TO SEE THEM IN ACTION. FUNDING COMES FROM A NEW $5M POT OF MONEY SET ASIDE BY THE GOVERNMENT TO FIX NOVOPAY. WE'LL HAVE TO SPEND SOME OF THIS MONEY ANYWAY. AND FRANKLY, WE CAN'T AFFORD THE TIME OF WAITING. ALL THE MONEY THAT'S BEEN SPENT ON FIXING THIS DEBACLE IS COMING OUT OF THE EDUCATION BUDGET ` THAT IS MONEY THAT IS NOT GOING TO THE KIDS WHO DESPERATELY NEED IT. THIS IS FIVE MILLION DOLLARS OF TAXPAYER MONEY THAT'S BASICALLY GOING TO FIX THE MISTAKE THAT HEKIA PARATA MADE. TALENT 2, WHICH OPERATES NOVOPAY, COULD END UP PICKING UP SOME OF THE $5M BILL. TALENT 2 HAS NOW BEEN FORMALLY WARNED BY THE MINISTER THAT IT HAS BROKEN ITS CONTRACT AND COULD BE LIABLE. STEVEN JOYCE WANTS TO TRY AND FIX NOVOPAY BECAUSE SWITCHING TO A NEW SYSTEM MANY SCHOOLS JUST WANT SOMETHING THAT WORKS. WE VISITED BATHGATE PARK SCHOOL LAST MONTH AND PAID ANOTHER VISIT TODAY. NOTHING HAS CHANGED FOR BATHGATE PARK SCHOOL STAFF. WE'VE STILL GOT ONGOING ISSUES AND ERRORS IN OUR PAYROLL. SO DOES THE MINISTER APOLOGISE TO TEACHERS? THERE'LL BE PLENTY OF TIME TO WORK OUT WHO SHOULD TAKE THE BLAME ON THIS THING AND APOLOGISE FOR IT. I'M CERTAINLY SORRY THAT THE SITUATION IS THE WAY IT IS. BUT THIS 'SITUATION' ISN'T GOING AWAY, ACCORDING TO THE MINISTER. $5M MAY HELP, BUT POLITICALLY IT COULD PROVE COSTLY TOO. JESSICA MUTCH, ONE NEWS. IN THE UNITED STATES, POLICE ARE YET TO FIND A BODY IN A BURNT-OUT CABIN FOLLOWING A GUN FIGHT WITH A SUSPECT BELIEVED TO BE THE EX-COP WANTED AFTER A SPATE OF REVENGE KILLINGS. A POLICE OFFICER WAS KILLED IN THE SHOOTOUT, WHICH ERUPTED AFTER CHRISTOPHER DORNER WAS TRACKED DOWN TO A CABIN IN BIG BEAR, ABOUT TWO HOURS' DRIVE FROM DOWNTOWN LA. FOR THE LATEST, WE'LL CROSS LIVE TO CORRESPONDENT BRANDI HITT IN LA SHORTLY. FIRST, THIS REPORT FROM OUR US CORRESPONDENT JACK TAME. IN THE SNOWY WOODS OF BIG BEAR, CALIFORNIA, ONE MAN'S WAR MAY HAVE COME TO AN END. BUT THERE'S STILL NO WORD FROM POLICE IF INSIDE THE BURNING CABIN IS THE BODY OF CHRISTOPHER DORNER (33), A MAN THEY ONCE CALLED A COLLEAGUE WHO BECAME A MURDERING FUGITIVE. THAT CABIN IS STILL TOO HOT FOR ANYBODY TO MAKE ENTRY. THERE HAS BEEN NO BODY LOCATED INSIDE OF THAT CABIN. THAT CABIN HAS NOT YET BEEN SEARCHED, BECAUSE THE FIRE IS STILL TOO HOT, AS OF FIVE MINUTES AGO, FOR ANYBODY TO GO INTO THERE. DORNER'S SPREE BEGAN LAST WEEK WHEN HE AMBUSHED AND KILLED A YOUNG COUPLE. HIS FIRST VICTIM WAS THE DAUGHTER OF HIS FORMER POLICE CHIEF ` THE KILLING, DORNER'S REVENGE FOR BEING FIRED FROM THE FORCE. IN THE FOLLOWING DAYS, HE DIRECTLY TARGETED OFFICERS, SHOOTING ANOTHER DEAD AND INJURING TWO MORE, BUT POLICE APPEARED TO LOSE HIS TRAIL. THERE WERE SUGGESTIONS HE'D EVEN FLED TO MEXICO. 50 POLICE FAMILIES WERE GIVEN PROTECTION. AUTHORITIES ARE CONCERNED ABOUT AN ELEMENT OF PUBLIC SUPPORT FOR CHRISTOPHER DORNER. A FACEBOOK PAGE SUPPORTING HIM ATTRACTED MORE THAN 5000 FANS, WHILE A LEAFLET DROP IN CALIFORNIA CELEBRATED DORNER AS A MARTYR. BUT TODAY A RESIDENT IN BIG BEAR REPORTED THEIR VEHICLE STOLEN, AND WHEN POLICE FOUND DORNER, THERE WAS A SHOOTOUT. DURING THAT GUNFIGHT A DEPUTY SHERIFF` UH, TWO DEPUTY SHERIFFS WERE SHOT. ONE OF THEM DIED AFTER BEING TAKEN TO LOMA LINDA. THE SECOND DEPUTY IS CURRENTLY IN SURGERY AND IS EXPECTED TO SURVIVE. THE SIEGE ENDED AS MANY EXPECTED ` WITH A REMOTE CABIN IN A FOREST SURROUNDED BY SWAT TEAMS. THEY FIRED TEAR GAS, THE MOUNTAIN CABIN CAUGHT FIRE, AND THERE ARE REPORTS TONIGHT CHRISTOPHER DORNER WAS TRAPPED INSIDE. JACK TAME, ONE NEWS, NEW YORK. A QUARTER OF GLOBAL SPORTS IS CONTROLLED BY ORGANISED CRIME, ACCORDING TO THE NZER WHO HEADS THE SPORTS WORLD'S ANTI-DRUGS WATCHDOG. WHILE THE SHOCKING CLAIM HASN'T BEEN DISPUTED BY SPORTING ORGANISATIONS HERE, SOME SAY THE WORLD ANTI-DOPING AGENCY IS FAILING TO PROTECT CLEAN ATHLETES. SHARON FERGUSSON HAS MORE. THESE FIGHTERS ARE CONTINENTS APART NOW, BUT THE PUNCHES ARE HARD; THE REACH ` LONG. THERE IS WILLIAMS IN THE CLOSING. TODAY FRANCOIS BOTHA CLAIMED HE WAS OFFERED MONEY TO THROW FRIDAY'S FIGHT. THE REVELATION COINCIDES WITH DRAMATIC CLAIMS BY THE BOSS OF THE WORLD ANTI-DOPING AGENCY. I THINK ABOUT 25% OF WORLD SPORT IS NOW CONTROLLED TO ONE DEGREE OR ANOTHER BY THE UNDERWORLD. AND I AM MAKING THAT STATEMENT BASED ON INFORMATION I'VE RECEIVED. IT IS NOT A GUESS, AND IT IS PROBABLY EVEN HIGHER. LANCE ARMSTRONG'S CONFESSIONS HAVE LEFT CYCLING UNDER SCRUTINY, WHILE AUSTRALIAN SPORT'S BEEN STRONGLY LINKED TO DOPING PRODUCTS SUPPLIED BY CRIMINAL GANGS. AND THE EUROPEAN ANTI-CRIME AGENCY SUGGESTS NEARLY 400 SOCCER MATCHES ACROSS THE WORLD HAD BEEN FIXED BY CRIMINAL GANGS. THE SAME BAD GUYS PUSHING THE DRUGS, LAUNDERING THEIR MONEY THROUGH REGULAR BETTING, ILLEGAL BETTING, BRIBERY, CORRUPTION. IT IS NOT A PHENOMENON THAT IS JUST ONE GROUP OVER HERE AND ONE GROUP OVER THERE. IT IS THE SAME JOKERS. I THINK THE WORLD ANTI-DOPING ORGANISATION WAS SET UP WITH THE RIGHT INTENT, AND WE ALL AGREE WE WANT CLEAN SPORT, BUT THE REALITY IS THEY'RE NOT BEING EFFECTIVE. THE ATHLETES' FEDERATION SAYS THERE'S A CULTURE OF ACCEPTANCE IN SOME COUNTRIES AND SOME SPORTS. IT'S NOT NECESSARILY THE ATHLETES THAT ARE THE PROBLEM. WE'RE TALKING ADMINISTRATION; WE'RE TALKING COACHES; WE'RE TALKING THOSE THAT ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR PROFESSIONAL SPORTING ENVIRONMENTS IN PARTICULAR BEING THE ONES THAT ACTUALLY INTRODUCE THE CORRUPT PRACTICES IN THE FIRST PLACE. BUT FIGHTING TEMPTATION AND FIGHTING CRIME COULD GIVE SPORT A FIGHTING CHANCE. SHARON FERGUSSON, ONE NEWS. THE VATICAN'S REVEALED THE POPE UNDERWENT HEART SURGERY FOR A PACEMAKER IN THE MONTHS BEFORE HIS SHOCK RESIGNATION. A PAPAL SPOKESMAN INSISTS THE DEVICE IS WORKING WELL AND IT'S NOT THE REASON POPE BENEDICT IS QUITTING AFTER LESS THAN EIGHT YEARS IN OFFICE. EUROPE CORRESPONDENT GARTH BRAY IS ACROSS DEVELOPMENTS AND JOINS US NOW LIVE FROM ROME. IN LESS THAN 6 HOURS WE ARE EXPECTING BENEDICT TO APPEAR WITH HIS FIRST APPEARANCE SINCE HIS RESIGNATION. HE'S MUCH FRAILER THAN WE THOUGHT. POPE BENEDICT HAS SPENT THE DAY IN QUIET REFLECTION WE'RE TOLD, AFTER A STAGGERING DECISION TO QUIT. THE PONTIFF IS TAKING IT EASY BECAUSE, WE NOW KNOW, HE'S HAD HEART SURGERY AT LEAST TWICE ` MOST RECENTLY AS HE CONTEMPLATED RESIGNING. IT WAS SURPRISING TO LEARN THAT. THAT'S ALSO SOMETHING THAT'S CONSIDERED PART OF THE POPE'S PRIVACY, BUT IT WOULD HAVE BEEN INTERESTING TO KNOW THAT AHEAD OF TIME. THE VATICAN'S CHIEF SPOKESMAN BROKE THE NEWS THEN QUICKLY ASSURED REPORTERS IT HADN'T BEEN THE CAUSE OF THE HISTORIC DECISION. BUT OBSERVERS HAVE BEEN NOTING THE 85-YEAR-OLD'S FAILING HEALTH FOR SOME TIME. AS THE POPE SAID, HE ACTUALLY IS VERY FRAIL. I THINK WE ALL SAW IT OVER CHRISTMAS ` THAT HE LOOKED WEAKER, PHYSICALLY WEAKER. GIOVANNA CHIRRI FELT SICK WHEN SHE HEARD THE NEWS OF THE RESIGNATION, BECAUSE IT WAS SHE WHO BROKE IT TO THE WORLD, COVERING A FAIRLY ROUTINE VATICAN COUNCIL MEETING. HER TRAINING IN LATIN STILL DIDN'T PREPARE HER FOR THE ENORMITY OF THE SCOOP. THE LATIN WAS EASY. THE POPE WAS SPEAKING VERY SLOWLY. IT WAS CLEAR WHAT HE WAS SAYING, BUT I WAS AFRAID TO MAKE A MISTAKE ` IT WOULD BE A VERY BIG MISTAKE. WHILE SHE WAS MOBBED FOR HER TALE, OTHER'S ARE STILL ABSORBING THE NEWS, LIKE THIS ENGLISH CATHOLIC SCHOOL GROUP. WHEN WE GOT ON THE PLANE YESTERDAY MORNING WE THOUGHT THAT BENEDICT WAS POPE. WHEN WE ARRIVED IN ROME, THAT HAD CHANGED. IT'S NOW LOOKING LIKE THE MIDDLE OF NEXT MONTH BEFORE CARDINALS WILL MEET TO SETTLE THE FUTURE OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH. OVER CENTURIES THAT CONCLAVE HAS TENDED TO LAST NO MORE THAN FOUR OR FIVE DAYS, BUT WHO KNOWS HOW THIS SUDDEN DEPARTURE WILL AFFECT OTHER TRADITIONS IN THE WORLD'S SECOND-LARGEST FAITH. NOW, THE CAMPAIGNING TO REPLACE HIM IS FROWNED UPON BUT SOME ARE ALREADY PUTTING THEMSELVES FORWARD SOME SAY IT'S TIME THERE'S A POPE FROM THE NEW WORLD OR AFRICA BENEDICT'S BROTHER SAYS IT'S TIME FOR AN ITALIAN POPE. THANKS. GARTH BRAY IN ROME. JOINING US NOW, ABC'S CALIFORNIA CORRESPONDENT BRANDI HITT. BRANDI, WHAT IS THE LATEST ON THIS MAN HUNT? HI, SION DESPITE EARLIER REPORTS, THEY ARE NOW SAYING NO BODY HAS BEEN PULLED FROM THE SCENE THE CABIN IS TOO HOT TO SEARCH. ACCORDING TO AUTHORITIES, A MAN WHO LOOKS LIKE HIM LEAD THE OFFICERS ON THE CHASE. THE SUSPECT WENT INSIDE THE CABIN AND THERE WAS A MASSIVE STANDOFF NOW THE BIG QUESTION IS CONFIRMATION ` WAS IT DORNER, WAS HE KILLED? IT WILL BE SEVERAL HOURS TO COMB THROUGH THIS SCENE. DORNER HAD A MANIFESTO - HE WANTED TO KILL OFFICERS AND THEIR FAMILIES NOW HE CAN ADD A 4TH VICTIM, THE DEPUTY KILLED TODAY. THANKS. BRANDI HITT IN LOS ANGELES. SOME OF CHRISTCHURCH'S SMALLEST RESIDENTS ARE STILL FINDING LIFE TOUGH ALMOST TWO YEARS SINCE THE FEBRUARY QUAKE HIT, SO THE LAUNCH OF A MULTI-MILLION DOLLAR RED CROSS GRANT TO HELP SCHOOL CHILDREN WITH QUAKE-RELATED DIFFICULTIES HAS RECEIVED A WARM WELCOME, AS ALI PUGH REPORTS. WHILE SCHOOL LIFE IS SEEMINGLY BACK TO NORMAL FOR MOST CHRISTCHURCH CHILDREN, THE PSYCHOLOGICAL SCARS OF THE QUAKES TWO YEARS AGO ARE STILL SHOWING THROUGH. IT'S WORRYING ABOUT STUFF THAT YOU USUALLY SHOULDN'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT WHEN YOU'RE A KID. COS YOU'RE STILL A LITTLE BIT SENSITIVE ON SHAKES, AND EVEN JUST WITH THE DIGGERS ON THE ROAD. THE RED CROSS TODAY LAUNCHED A LIFELINE ` A $9M GRANT SPECIFICALLY FOR STRUGGLING SCHOOLCHILDREN. PARKVIEW PRINCIPAL LES GRAY SAYS THERE ARE PLENTY OF THEM. THERE'S A LOT OF ISSUES REGARDING ANXIETY, SLEEP AT NIGHT ` A LOT OF CHILDREN WERE TOO SCARED TO SLEEP IN THEIR BED, SO SLEEPING WITH PARENTS. SCHOOLS HAVE REPORTED AN INCREASE IN BEHAVIOURAL ISSUES AND ANXIETY WITH STUDENTS IN THE CLASSROOM, INCLUDING WITH NEW ENTRANCE PUPILS ` MANY OF WHOM CAN'T REMEMBER A TIME BEFORE THE GROUND SHOOK. A LITTLE BIT OF REGRESSING FOR THE YOUNGEST ONE ` DIDN'T WANT TO WALK ANYWHERE. WANTED TO BE SAFE IN HER PRAM. SCHOOLS CAN APPLY FOR THE FUNDING ON BEHALF OF THEIR STUDENTS, WHICH CAN BE SPENT ON SPECIALISED COUNSELLING SERVICES OR TO HELP PAY FOR ACTIVITIES LIKE CAMPS AND TRIPS. THE REBUILD IN CHRISTCHURCH IS GOING TO BE 10, 15 YEARS, MAYBE LONGER, AND THESE CHILDREN ARE GOING TO BE PART OF THAT, AND WE WANT TO BE SURE THEY HAVE EVERY CHANCE TO CONTRIBUTE IN ANY WAY POSSIBLE. AND A CHANCE TO LET KIDS GET BACK TO THE SERIOUS BUSINESS OF BEING KIDS. ALI PUGH, ONE NEWS. NEXT ON ONE NEWS ` SMARTENING UP THEIR ACT. WHY YOU CAN EXPECT TO SEE MORE POLICE ON OUR STREETS. ARE THEY OUT OF STEP WITH THE REST OF THE WORLD? THE NUKE TEST THAT'S EVEN UPSET NORTH KOREA'S CLOSEST ALLY. AND KATE WITH HER BABY BUMP ` THE OUTRAGE AT A MAGAZINE'S PLAN TO EXPOSE PICTURES FROM A PRIVATE HOLIDAY. KIDS SHOUT Should we be getting more kids into apprenticeships? Will we have enough retirement villages close to our families? What should we be doing with our waste water? Does everyone count in the future of our country? Yeah, we do.

Fill in your forms online or on paper, because you count. A SOUTH ISLAND MAN FACING A RAFT OF CHILD SEX CHARGES HAS WON A BID FOR INTERIM NAME SUPPRESSION. THE 27-YEAR-OLD ENTERED NO PLEA IN THE OAMARU DISTRICT COURT THIS MORNING AND WILL RE-APPEAR IN APRIL. HE FACES 41 CHARGES, INCLUDING INDECENT ASSAULT, UNLAWFUL SEXUAL CONNECTION AND MAKING, POSSESSING AND DISTRIBUTING OBJECTIONABLE MATERIAL. IT COMES A WEEK AFTER CONVICTED PAEDOPHILE AARON ELLMERS ADMITTED OFFERING THE MAN $500 IN EXCHANGE FOR SEXUAL GRATIFICATION WITH HIS 13-MONTH-OLD SON. THOUSANDS OF POLICE ARE CLICKING ON TO NEW CRIME-FIGHTING TOOLS. THE GOVERNMENT SAYS TRIALS HAVE SHOWN BEING ARMED WITH IPADS AND SMARTPHONES CAN SAVE MORE THAN HALF A MILLION HOURS A YEAR. JOY REID HAS THE DETAILS. SHOWING THE PRIME MINISTER HOW IT'S DONE. YOU CAN PUT IN POLICE REFERENCE NUMBER, THE DRIVER'S LICENCE NUMBER. SERGEANT BRUCE COOK SHOWED OFF HIS NEW TOY, ONE THAT'S ABOUT TO BE ROLLED OUT TO FRONT-LINE STAFF. THE TECHNOLOGY'S GREAT. WE USE IT EVERY DAY IN FIELD. LAST YEAR WE TOLD YOU THE POLICE WERE TRIALLING NEW TECHNOLOGY. WELL, IT WAS A SUCCESS, AND TODAY THEY ANNOUNCED THAT FROM APRIL, OVER 6000 STAFF WILL GET SMARTPHONES. 4000 WILL GET IPADS. IT WILL FUNDAMENTALLY CHANGE THE WAY THAT WE POLICE. IT MEANS FRONT-LINE STAFF CAN ACCESS THE POLICE DATABASE WHILST OUT ON THE BEAT. YOU WONT HAVE TO CONTINUALLY RADIO THE COMMUNICATION CENTRES WITH QUERIES ABOUT A PERSON OR A VEHICLE OR SPEND TIME AT YOUR DESK FILLING IN FORMS. THAT'S BECAUSE ALL THAT INFO WILL BE ON ONE OF THESE, BUT REST ASSURED, IF LOST OR STOLEN, THEY'RE PASSWORD PROTECTED AND CAN BE WIPED OF INFORMATION. THE NEW TECHNOLOGY'S EXPECTED TO SAVE AROUND HALF AN HOUR OF EVERY FRONT-LINE OFFICER'S TIME EVERY SINGLE DAY, AND THAT EQUATES TO AROUND HALF A MILLION HOURS ACROSS THE FORCE EVERY YEAR. IT COMES WITH A PRICE TAG OF MORE THAN $160M MILLION OVER 10 YEARS ` THAT'S TO COME FROM THE EXISTING POLICE BUDGET. WE WOULD BE CONCERNED, BECAUSE POLICE ARE ALREADY FACING CONSIDERABLE BUDGET CONSTRAINTS, THAT TO PAY FOR IT, STAFF MAY HAVE TO BE GIVEN UP. BUT THE MINISTER IS ADAMANT JOBS WON'T BE LOST ` JUST MADE EASIER. JOY REID, ONE NEWS. THE ONLY MAJOR ALLY OF NORTH KOREA IS AMONG THOSE CONDEMNING ITS LATEST ACT OF DEFIANCE IN CARRYING OUT ANOTHER NUCLEAR TEST. CHINA JOINS OTHERS ON THE UNITED NATIONS SECURITY COUNCIL IN SAYING IT'S A CLEAR THREAT TO INTERNATIONAL PEACE. THIS FROM THE BBC'S DAMIAN GRAMMATICAS. (SPEAKS KOREAN) IN AN ISOLATED, PARANOID NATION, THIS NUCLEAR EXPLOSION WAS HAILED AS A MOMENT OF NATIONAL PRIDE. 'THIS PROVES HOW GREAT OUR MILITARY IS. 'EVEN IF MILLIONS OF ENEMIES ATTACK US, WE WILL WIN,' THIS MAN TOLD NORTH KOREAN TV. THE TEST AT A HIDDEN UNDERGROUND SITE WAS OF A DEVICE ABOUT HALF AS POWERFUL AS THE ATOM BOMBS AMERICA DROPPED ON JAPAN TO END THE SECOND WORLD WAR. IT TRIGGERED A TREMOR DETECTED FAR AWAY. ENGINES ROAR LAST DECEMBER, NORTH KOREA PUT A SATELLITE INTO ORBIT. THAT TOO WAS IN DEFIANCE OF UN RESOLUTIONS AND MARKED A MAJOR STEP IN ITS ROCKET TECHNOLOGY. NOW THE NORTH SAYS IT HAS MADE A NUCLEAR BOMB THAT MAY BE SMALL ENOUGH TO MOUNT ON A ROCKET. NORTH KOREA'S YOUNG DICTATOR, JIM JONG-UN, IS BARELY 30 YEARS OLD. HE ASSUMED POWER AFTER HIS FATHER'S DEATH, A YEAR AGO. SOME THOUGHT HE MIGHT BRING CHANGE TO THIS POOR, HALF-STARVED COUNTRY. BUT HE SEEMS TO HAVE DECIDED NUCLEAR BOMBS, NOT ECONOMIC REFORMS, ARE WHAT WILL GUARANTEE HIS REGIME'S SURVIVAL. IT IS SO DECIDED. IN NEW YORK, THE UN SECURITY COUNCIL MET FOR URGENT TALKS. EVEN CHINA, NORTH KOREA'S ONLY ALLY, HAS CONDEMNED THE TEST. LONG A SOURCE OF AID AND DIPLOMATIC SUPPORT FOR THE NORTH, BEIJING IS UNDER PRESSURE TO BACK TOUGHER ACTION THIS TIME ROUND. SO KIM JONG-UN, HIS FINGER ON THE NUCLEAR TRIGGER, MAY NOW FIND HIMSELF MORE ISOLATED AND MORE THREATENED, NOT MORE SECURE. AND HE'S ALREADY WARNING THAT ANY NEW SANCTIONS MAY LEAD TO NEW NUCLEAR TESTS. THE HORSEMEAT SCANDAL'S GOT EVEN CLOSER TO HOME FOR BRITISH AUTHORITIES. A SLAUGHTERHOUSE IN YORKSHIRE AND A MEAT-PROCESSING COMPANY IN WEST WALES HAVE NOW BEEN SHUT DOWN. THEY'RE SUSPECTED OF SELLING HORSE MEAT LABELLED AS BEEF FOR KEBABS AND BURGERS. IT'S THE FIRST TIME SINCE THE SCANDAL BROKE THAT SUPPLIES HAVE BEEN TRACED TO BRITAIN. THERE'S ANOTHER ROYAL OUTCRY WITH AN ITALIAN MAGAZINE SET TO PUBLISH PICTURES OF A BIKINI-CLAD KATE WITH HER BABY BUMP. THE PHOTOS WERE TAKEN WHILE THE DUKE AND DUCHESS OF CAMBRIDGE WERE ON A PRIVATE CARIBBEAN HOLIDAY. A SPOKESMAN FOR THE BRITISH ROYALS SAYS THE SHOTS ARE A CLEAR BREACH OF THE COUPLE'S PRIVACY. THE SAME MAGAZINE, 'CHI', LAST YEAR RAN A 26-PAGE SPREAD OF KATE SUNBATHING TOPLESS IN FRANCE. WEATHER TIME NOW. SOME RAIN OR SHOWERS FOR BOTH ISLANDS TODAY, KAREN? NOT A GREAT DEAL, BUT BETTER THAN NOTHING. A COUPLE OF FRONTS MOVING UP THE COUNTRY, BUT THEY'RE FAIRLY WEAK AFFAIRS DUE TO HIGH PRESSURE GIVING THEM THE SQUEEZE. HOT SPOT TODAY FOR GISBORNE ON 28. COOLER OVER THE LOWER SOUTH ISLAND ` JUST 14 FOR GORE AND 15 FOR INVERCARGILL DUE TO A BLUSTERY, SHOWERY WESTERLY. 15 FOR ASHBURTON AS WELL. 26 FOR MASTERTON. 25 FOR NELSON. WELLINGTON ENJOYED A PLEASANT 23. THERE'S THAT NATIONAL HIGH OF 28 IN GISBORNE. 26 FOR NAPIER AND HASTINGS. TOKOROA GOT TO 24 MILD AGAIN IN THE NORTH, WITH HIGHS IN THE MID 20S FOR MOST. 22 FOR ROTORUA. FOR WEATHER, SEE ONENEWS.CO.NZ TAKE A LOOK AT THIS GREAT PHOTO. NO, IT'S NOT A MARTIAN INVASION. THESE ARE LENTICULAR CLOUDS OVER THE MACKENZIE BASIN. THEY WERE FORMED WHEN STABLE MOIST AIR FLOWED OVER THE MAIN DIVIDE TODAY. THAT AIRFLOW CREATED A SERIES OF WAVES ON THE LEEWARD SIDE OF THE MOUNTAINS. THESE AMAZING UFO-SHAPED CLOUDS FORMED AT THE CREST OF THOSE WAVES. I'LL HAVE YOUR THURSDAY FORECAST AND A LOOK AHEAD TO HOW THE WEEKEND'S SHAPING UP AFTER SPORT. ARE SOME BARS FLOUTING SMOKING LAWS? A TEST CASE JUST AHEAD ON ONE NEWS. ALSO, IS IT A STEP CLOSER? THE MOVE TO GET YOU WALKING ACROSS AUCKLAND'S HARBOUR BRIDGE. AND NEW WORDS FROM OUR MOST FAMOUS WRITER ` DO THEY REVEAL MORE ABOUT KATHERINE MANSFIELD'S LIFE? 1 THE FINANCE MINISTER HAS HIT BACK AT MANUFACTURERS CRITICISING HIS GOVERNMENT FOR A LACK OF ACTION ON BRINGING DOWN THE HIGH DOLLAR. BILL ENGLISH HAS WARNED A PARLIAMENTARY COMMITTEE THAT SUCH AN ACTION WOULD LIFT IMPORT PRICES AND REDUCE LIVING STANDARDS. WHAT THEY'RE ACTUALLY TELLING YOU IS THEY WANT TO CUT THE REAL WAGES OF THEIR WORKERS. BECAUSE THAT IS THE OTHER SIDE OF THIS EQUATION. WOMAN: RUBBISH. THEY WANT TO CUT THE WAGES OF THE WORKERS. MR ENGLISH SAYS HE'S OPEN TO IDEAS FOR BRINGING DOWN THE CURRENCY, BUT HAS YET TO SEE ANY CREDIBLE PROPOSALS. A GAMING ROOM AT AUCKLAND'S SKY CITY WHICH ALLOWS SMOKING IS BEING CHALLENGED IN THE HIGH COURT. THE ROOM PASSES THE HEALTH MINISTRY'S TEST TO BE CLASSIFIED AN OUTDOOR AREA, BUT THE CANCER SOCIETY'S LODGING A CHALLENGE. IT ALSO POINTS TO A NUMBER OF BARS STRETCHING THE RULES. REALLY WHAT'S HAPPENING AT THE MOMENT IS PLACES ARE COMPLYING, BUT TO ALL INTENTS AND PURPOSES, IF YOU WENT IN TO THEM, YOU'D THINK THEY WERE AN INDOOR SMOKING AREA. SKY CITY'S PROPOSING TO OPEN ADDITIONAL SMOKING AREAS AT THE AUCKLAND CASINO. YOU'RE A STEP CLOSER TO BEING ABLE TO WALK OR CYCLE ACROSS AUCKLAND'S HARBOUR BRIDGE. A COUNCIL COMMITTEE'S BACKING TO THE PLAN DESPITE WARNINGS IT COULD COST RATEPAYERS IN YEARS TO COME. THIS FROM WILL HINE. TO GET ACROSS THE AUCKLAND HARBOUR BRIDGE UNDER THEIR OWN STEAM, CYCLISTS AND PEDESTRIANS HAVE HAD TO WAIT FOR SPECIAL EVENTS. THEY'RE PUSHING FOR THEIR OWN PERMANENT ROUTE, IN THE FORM OF A TOLL PATHWAY SLUNG UNDER THE BRIDGE. THEY'RE STACKING UP THE BIKE PARKS AT EVERY FERRY DESTINATION. THOSE ARE THE PEOPLE WHO WANT TO GET ACROSS TO COMMUTE. AND THAT'S WITHOUT EVEN THINKING ABOUT THE TOURISTS AND THE WEEKEND PEOPLE, WHO WE ALL KNOW LOVE OUR HARBOUR. WE WANT TO GET UP THERE. THE COST OF BUILDING THE ROUTE IS ESTIMATED AT MORE THAN $30M. THE MONEY'S BEING OFFERED BY A PRIVATE PARTNER WHO WOULD MAKE A RETURN THROUGH TOLLS. COMMUTERS WOULD PAY $4 RETURN; TOURISTS $8. BUT OPPONENTS ARE WORRIED IF TOO FEW USE THE BRIDGE THE COUNCIL COULD HAVE TO STEP IN TO HELP OUT FINANCIALLY. THERE ARE A LOT OF UNKNOWNS. FIRST OF ALL, THE PATRONAGE THAT THEY'RE SUGGESTING, PEOPLE WHO WILL USE THE BRIDGE ` CYCLIST AND WALKERS ` THERE IS NO BACKGROUND TO THOSE AT ALL. THESE ARE BEST GUESTIMATES FROM THE CYCLING FRATERNITY ABOUT WHO THEY THINK WILL USE IT. OTHERS, THOUGH, ARE MORE POSITIVE ABOUT THE BENEFITS. WE'RE A WONDERFUL HARBOUR-EDGED CITY. WHAT BETTER PLACE TO SEE IT THAN FROM THE HARBOUR BRIDGE? THERE'S A WHOLE LOT OF NON-CASH, GREAT BENEFITS OVER AND ABOVE THE FACT THE PRIVATE SECTOR HAVE COME HERE AND OFFERED TO FUND IT. AND AUCKLAND COUNCIL'S TRANSPORT COMMITTEE SEEMS TO AGREE, SIGNALLING TODAY IT'S HAPPY WITH THE PLAN. IT'S SENT IT ON TO THE FINANCE ARM FOR FURTHER SCRUTINY. IF SUPPORT'S FORTHCOMING, THE PATHWAY COULD BE OPEN BY 2015. WILL HINE, ONE NEWS. A PREVIOUSLY UNKNOWN STORY BY FAMED NZ AUTHOR KATHERINE MANSFIELD HAS BEEN DISCOVERED, AND NEARLY 100 YEARS AFTER HER DEATH, IT'S GIVING INSIGHTS INTO A DARK PERIOD OF HER LIFE. REBECCA EDWARDS HAS MORE. READS: 'SHE OPENS THE IRON-BARRED WINDOW AND LEANS OUT...' THE FIRST WORDS FROM AN AMAZING DISCOVERY. I STARTED TO GET SHIVERS DOWN MY SPINE ` I'M GETTING THEM NOW ` AND JUST THOUGHT TO MYSELF, 'THIS IS A MAJOR FIND.' A PREVIOUSLY UNKNOWN SHORT STORY BY KATHERINE MANSFIELD WAS FOUND IN PAPERS RECENTLY ACQUIRED FROM HER HUSBAND'S ESTATE BY THE ALEXANDER TURNBULL LIBRARY. FINDING SOMETHING LIKE THIS IS REALLY A HIGHLIGHT OF MY CAREER. IT'S BELIEVED 'SUMURUN: AN IMPRESSION OF LEOPOLDINE KONSTANTIN' WAS WRITTEN BY THE ACCLAIMED AUTHOR AROUND 1911. IT JUST GIVES US YET ANOTHER THING TO LOOK AT, THINK ABOUT, READ, PONDER. AND SO IT'S GREAT. THE PROMINENT WRITER, WHO'S WELL KNOWN FOR HER SHORT STORIES LIKE 'THE DOLL'S HOUSE' AND 'THE GARDEN PARTY' WAS BORN AND RAISED IN NZ. SHE MOVED TO ENGLAND WHEN SHE WAS 19 AND DIED THERE 15 YEARS LATER. WHILE MUCH OF KATHERINE MANSFIELD'S LIFE AND WORK HAS BEEN WELL-DOCUMENTED AND RESEARCHED, SCHOLARS SAY THIS FIND OFFERS AN INSIGHT INTO A DARK PERIOD OF HER LIFE THAT THEY KNOW VERY LITTLE ABOUT. MANSFIELD WAS LIVING THE FREE LIFE AND FREE LOVE AT A TIME WHEN THERE WERE NO ANTIBIOTICS, THE PILL DIDN'T EXIST, I THINK SHE WAS LATER EMBARRASSED BY A LOT OF WHAT SHE DID DURING THIS TIME AND DESTROYED MOST OF HER PAPERS RELATING FROM THIS TIME. WITH THE ACQUISITION COMING AT A COST OF $287,000, EXPERTS SAY IT WAS A BARGAIN. G 8 IF YOU TOOK EACH PIECE INDIVIDU AND SOLD IT AT CHRISTIES OR SOTHEBY'S YOU'D BE TALKING OF A SIGNIFICANTLY LARGER AMOUNT OF MONEY. IT'S HOPED ALL THE NEWFOUND DOCUMENTS WILL FINALLY BE PUBLISHED NEXT YEAR. REBECCA EDWARDS, ONE NEWS. LOOKING AT TONIGHT'S LEADING STORIES ` A NEW ZEALAND FIRST MP'S APOLOGISED FOR WRITING AN ANTI-MUSLIM COLUMN IN A MAGAZINE. BUT HE'S REFUSING TO QUIT PARLIAMENT. MPS ARE DISTANCING THEMSELVES FROM RICHARD PROSSER AFTER THE STORY MADE INTERNATIONAL HEADLINES. CONTACT ENERGY HAS ANNOUNCED IT'S CUTTING MORE THAN 100 JOBS. NZ'S BIGGEST POWER COMPANY SAYS DESPITE FORECASTS OF A BIG PROFIT, ELECTRICITY DEMAND'S WEAK, AND IT'LL CUT 10% OF ITS WORKFORCE BY THE END OF JUNE. ANDREW'S HERE WITH SPORT. WE THOUGHT THIS WAS ALL OVER! THE BOXING, WENDY. ISN'T IT AN IRONY THAT A 10 ROUND FIGHT GOES FOR 5 DAYS? THIS JUST GETS MORE LIKE A BAD HOLLYWOOD SCRIPT EVERY DAY. FRANCOIS BOTHA'S MATCH-FIXING ALLEGATIONS NEXT. ALSO TONIGHT, A KNOCKOUT PUNCH FROM THE SKIPPER AND A MUCH HAPPIER ENDING FOR THE BLACKCAPS. CAN THEY GO ON TO WIN THE SERIES IN WELLINGTON? PLUS, A DREAM COME TRUE FOR LYDIA KO AT THE AUSTRALIAN OPEN ` SHE'S PLAYING WITH HER IDOL. AND ` FULL NELSON ` ONE OF THE OLYMPICS' ORIGINAL SPORTS IS ABOUT TO BE DROPPED. FIRST UP TONIGHT, TO THE LATEST TWIST AND TURNS IN THE SONNY BILL WILLIAMS BOXING SOAP OPERA. NEARLY A WEEK SINCE THE FIGHT, AND STILL THE HEAVYWEIGHT HITS KEEP COMING. FRANCOIS BOTHA NOW CLAIMS HE WAS OFFERED MONEY TO THROW THE BOUT. BOTHA'S STORY INVOLVES A PARK, A CONFISCATED CELL PHONE AND SONNY BILL'S MANAGER KHODER NASSER. ABBY SCOTT WITH THE LATEST IN THE SAGA. THE PUNCHES MAY HAVE BEEN THROWN LAST FRIDAY, BUT THE FIGHT SEEMS FAR FROM OVER. FRANCOIS BOTHA ALLEGES HIS PHONE WAS CONFISCATED BEFORE THE OFFER WAS MADE BY SONNY BILL WILLIAMS' MANAGER, KHODER NASSER, IN A BRISBANE PARK. HE SAYS IT'S AN OFFER HE REJECTED. KHODER NASSER SAYS HIS CLAIM LACKS INTEGRITY. IT'S ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS, AND IF THERE WAS ANY SUBSTANTIAL TRUTH TO THAT AND HE HAD ANY MANHOOD ABOUT HIMSELF, WOULDN'T HE HAVE COME OUT BEFORE THE FIGHT? WHILE THIS WAS NO SCHOOLYARD FIGHT, THE BICKERING SEEMS EERILY SIMILAR ` A CASE OF 'HE STARTED IT'. WE MAY NEVER KNOW WHO'S TELLING THE TRUTH. FROM FIGHT LENGTH DISPUTES TO DRUG TESTS AND NOW ON TO CLAIMS OF MATCH FIXING, THERE'S BEEN MORE SPORT OUT OF THE RING THAN IN IT. BOTHA SAYS HE'S MEETING WITH THE WORLD BOXING ASSOCIATION TONIGHT AND WANTS THE FIGHT TO BE DECLARED A NO CONTEST. I THINK HE'S PRETTY BITTER THAT A ROOKIE OF FIVE FIGHTS HAS DONE HIM. AND AT THE END OF THE DAY, HE'S GIVEN MANY VERSIONS OF ONE STORY. WE'RE ON WEDNESDAY NOW. WHO KNOWS WHAT'LL COME OUT TOMORROW? WITH SONNY BILL WILLIAMS EXPECTED TO FRONT THE MEDIA AT ROOSTERS TRAINING TOMORROW, THIS SAGA COULD GO ANOTHER ROUND. ABBY SCOTT, ONE NEWS. ONE OF THE BEST FEMALE GOLFERS IN THE HISTORY OF THE GAME IS URGING LYDIA KO (15) TO TURN PROFESSIONAL. AUSTRALIAN KARRIE WEBB SAYS KO IS CLEARLY READY TO MAKE THE MOVE. THE YOUNG KIWI HAS BEEN PLACED IN A DREAM GROUP FOR THE OPENING ROUNDS OF THE AUSTRALIAN WOMEN'S OPEN IN CANBERRA. THE 15-YEAR-OLD WILL PLAY ALONGSIDE WORLD THE NUMBER ONE, TAIWAN'S YANI TSENG, AND FORMER TEENAGE PRODIGY MICHELLE WIE. WIE TURNED PRO A WEEK BEFORE HER 16TH BIRTHDAY, SEVEN YEARS AGO. KO'S PLAYING IN THE PRO-AM TODAY BEFORE TEEING OFF IN THE FIRST ROUND TOMORROW. AFTER A GOOD WEEK IT COULD REALLY GO EITHER WAY, COS I COULD BE OVERLY EXCITED AND NOT PLAY AS WELL OR JUST CONTINUE, SO I'M JUST TRYING TO COME BACK TO EARTH. MICHELLE WIE HAD A CAREER WORST YEAR IN 2012, FALLING IN THE WORLD RANKINGS. I THINK I LEARNED A LOT FROM LAST YEAR. I THINK THT STRUGGLING ` IT MAKES YOU REALLY REALISE WHAT YOU HAVE TO WORK ON IN YOUR GAME, WHAT IS REALLY LACKING, AND, YOU KNOW, MAKES YOU JUST REALLY REALISE THAT YOU HAVE TO WORK HARDER. THE AUSTRALIAN OPEN THIS WEEKEND IS WORTH OVER $1.5M, ALTHOUGH ANY PRIZE MONEY AMATEUR KO WINS GETS DIVVIED UP AMONG THE OTHER PLAYERS. THE NZ OLYMPIC COMMITTEE MAY BE FINE WITH THE DECISION TO CULL WRESTLING FROM THE OLYMPICS, BUT OUR FORMER COMPETITORS CERTAINLY AREN'T. THE IOC'S MADE THE SURPRISE RECOMMENDATION TO DROP THE SPORT FROM 2020 ONWARDS ` THAT MEANS WRESTLING, WHICH WAS CONTESTED AS FAR BACK AS THE ANCIENT GAMES IN OLYMPIA, MUST NOW FIGHT SEVEN OTHER CANDIDATES FOR ONE REMAINING SPOT IN THE PROGRAMME. IT WOULDN'T SURPRISE ME IF THEY HAVE PROTESTS IN THE STREETS IN IRAN, TURKEY, MONGOLIA. EVEN IN AMERICA` I DON'T THINK AMERICA'S GONNA PROTEST, BUT THEY'D BE UP IN ARMS. THE FORMER COMMONWEALTH GAMES MEDALLIST ALSO LABELLED THE DECISION A TRAVESTY. THE LOS ANGELES OLYMPICS MADE A PROFIT, AND EVER SINCE THEN IT'S BEEN A COMMERCIAL ENTERPRISE, AND WE'RE SUFFERING FROM THAT. THEY OBVIOUSLY LOOKED THAT THEIR SUMS AND REALISED THAT MAYBE WRESTLING ISN'T MAKING ENOUGH MONEY FOR THEM. THE IOC WILL VOTE ON THE RECCOMMENDATION IN SEPTEMBER. BLACKCAPS SKIPPER BRENDON MCCULLUM HAS LED HIS SIDE TO VICTORY IN THE SECOND T20 AGAINST ENGLAND. THE 55-RUN THRASHING IN HAMILTON WAS IN COMPLETE CONTRAST TO THEIR FIRST-MATCH DEFEAT. KIMBERLEE DOWNS REPORTS. AFTER SATURDAY'S DRUBBING, BRENDON MCCULLUM NEEDED TO MAKE A STATEMENT. HE DID IT THE BEST WAY HE KNOWS. d MAGNIFICENT. MCCULLUM HAS 50 8 THE FIRST OF THE SERIES. HE WASN'T FINISHED THERE. CAPTAIN UP AGAINST CAPTAIN, BAZ BLASTED STUART BROAD AWAY. OH, HE'LL LIKE THAT. 22 RUNS WERE SMASHED OFF NZ'S PENULTIMATE OVER, MCCULLUM'S 74 OFF 38 BALLS LEADING THE KIWIS TO AN IMPOSING 192. IT'S NICE TO MAKE A CONTRIBUTION, WHETHER YOU'RE CAPTAIN OR WHETHER YOU'RE NOT CAPTAIN. SO IT'S OBVIOUSLY, UH, GOOD TO PLAY A HAND TODAY, BUT THERE WERE MANY OTHER GUYS IN THE TEAM THAT PLAYED A HAND AS WELL, SO I WAS JUST HAPPY TO BE ONE OF THEM. THOSE OTHERS INCLUDE OPENERS MARTIN GUPTILL AND HAMISH RUTHERFORD, THOUGH THE REST OF THE BATTING WAS UNDERWHELMING. ROSS TAYLOR IS STILL STRUGGLING FOR FORM. THAT GO-TO SHOT OF HIS NOT WORKING FOR HIM AT THE MOMENT. BUT HEY, YOU DON'T NEED EVERY BATSMAN TO FIRE WHEN YOUR BOWLERS ARE GOING LIKE THIS. BOWLED HIM. BEAUTY. ABSOLUTE BEAUTY. IN THE AIR. GONE. FIRST BALL! MITCHELL MCCLENAGHAN CONTINUED HIS RUN FOR NEWCOMER OF THE SEASON, AND NOT JUST FOR HIS BOWLING. STOKED THAT I TOOK THE CATCH, TO BE HONEST. THAT WAS PROBABLY THE MOST EXCITING THING. IT WAS GOOD TO SEE THAT WE TOOK MORE CATCHES THAN THE CROWD LAST NIGHT, SO... (LAUGHS) THAT WAS ENJOYABLE AS WELL. THE OLD TIMERS DELIVERED TOO. IAN BUTLER, BACK IN THE NATIONAL SIDE FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE 2010, RETURNED REMARKABLE FIGURES OF 2/9. GRANTED, THE BLACKCAPS DID HAVE THEIR MOMENTS. NO TIMING. THIS COULD BE OUT. IT IS. IT IS OUT. NO! OH, GOLLY GOSH! STILL, AS TURNAROUNDS GO, THIS WAS IMPRESSIVE. ENGLAND NEVER LOOKED CLOSE TO CHASING DOWN THE TOTAL, DESPITE A VALIANT HALF CENTURY FROM THEIR MOST EXPLOSIVE BATSMAN, JOS BUTTLER. ALL OUT IN THE FINAL OVER. KIMBERLEE DOWNS, ONE NEWS. JAMES FRANKLIN FINISHED WITH THE LAST FOUR WICKETS AS THE BLACKCAPS WON BY 55 RUNS TO SNAP A SIX-MATCH T20 LOSING STREAK AGAINST ENGLAND AND SET UP A DECIDER ON FRIDAY IN WELLINGTON. ALL BLACKS HALFBACK PIRI WEEPU WILL MAKE HIS FIRST APPEARANCE FOR THE BLUES THIS SEASON, STARTING AGAINST THE HIGHLANDERS IN THEIR SUPER RUGBY PRESEASON MATCH IN QUEENSTOWN ON FRIDAY NIGHT. WEEPU ADMITS HE'S A LOT MORE MOTIVATED COMPARED TO THIS TIME LAST YEAR, WHEN HE TURNED UP TO THE BLUES OUT OF SHAPE. HE'S EAGER TO HELP MORE AND NOT TAKE THINGS FOR GRANTED. PROBABLY BETTER TO THESE YOUNGER BOYS ` HELP THEM OUT A LOT BETTER, UM,... NOT JUST BY SAYING IT; BY DOING IT AS WELL. WEEPU'S RELATIONSHIP WITH SIR GRAHAM HENRY HAS BEEN OFFICIALLY RENEWED. THE PAIR FIRST WORKED TOGETHER IN THE ALL BLACKS IN 2004. < HOW DIFFERENT IS GRAHAM AS AN ASSISTANT COACH? WOULDN'T YOU BOYS LIKE TO KNOW? < THAT'S WHY I'M ASKING THE QUESTION. (LAUGHS) HE'S, UH,... DOESN'T LOOK AS GRUMPY, LIKE HE USUALLY IS. BUT NO, HE'S ACTUALLY A LOT MORE RELAXED AND A BIT EASIER FOR SOME OF THESE BOYS TO TALK TO. I REMEMBER MY FIRST YEAR WITH THE ABS, IT WAS QUITE HARD TO GO UP AND APPROACH TED. BUT NOW HE'S A BIT MORE RELAXED. THERE'S NOT AS MUCH PRESSURE AS WHAT THERE WAS IN THE ABS ENVIRONMENT. FURTHER GOOD NEWS FOR THE YOUNG BLUES TEAM TODAY ` ALL BLACK LOCK ANTHONY BORIC CAME THROUGH HIS FIRST FULL-CONTACT SESSION TODAY, AFTER HAVING MAJOR NECK SURGERY LAST YEAR. BORIC WILL BE AVAILABLE TO PLAY IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS, AFTER ALMOST A YEAR OUT. ENGLAND RUGBY'S RESURGENCE MIGHT NOT BE REWARDED IN THE BRITISH AND IRISH LIONS SQUAD TO TOUR AUSTRALIA IN JUNE AND JULY. LIONS COACH WARREN GATLAND HAS WARNED PICKING TOO MANY ENGLISH PLAYERS COULD CAUSE PROBLEMS BECAUSE OF THEIR UNPOPULARITY WITH OTHER NATIONS AND THE EXTRA MEDIA ATTENTION THEY INEVITABLY ATTRACT. THAT WAS CERTAINLY THE CASE WHEN THE LIONS LAST TOURED AUSTRALIA 12 YEARS AGO, AND SAMOAN-BORN MANU TUILAGI MAY BE LEFT OUT FOR FEAR THAT PLAYERS BORN OUTSIDE THE UNITED KINGDOM DON'T REALLY UNDERSTAND THE IMPORTANCE OF PULLING ON THE LIONS JERSEY. A HUGE REALITY CHECK FOR SCOTTISH FOOTBALL CHAMPIONS CELTIC TODAY ` ITALIAN CLUB JUVENTUS ONLY NEEDED THREE MINUTES TO OPEN THE SCORING IN THEIR CHAMPIONS-LEAGUE CLASH IN GLASGOW. THEY GET THERE FIRST, AND THE TOUCH IN... IS IT ACROSS THE LINE? IT IS, AND IT SHOULD BE FINISHED. MARCHISIO MADE SURE. HARD TO BELIEVE THAT CELTIC HAD BEATEN BARCELONA IN THE GROUP STAGE AS THE SCOTS CRASHED 3-0 TO JUVE IN THEIR LAST-16 FIRST LEG TIE. SOME NEWS THROUGH FROM THE BREAKERS BASKETBALL TEAM ` POWER FORWARD WILL HUDSON WILL BE SIDELINED FOR UP TO SIX WEEKS WITH A TORN KNEE LIGAMENT. KAREN'S HERE AFTER THE BREAK AND SAYS ANOTHER HIGH PUSHES IN TOMORROW, BUT THERE'S STILL SOME RAIN IN THE FORECAST. HELLO AGAIN. WE HAVE A COUPLE OF WEAK FRONTS MOVING UP OVER THE COUNTRY. NOT A GREAT DEAL OF RAIN WITH THEM ` MORE RAIN FROM THE SHOWERY WEST TO SOUTH-WEST FLOW IN THEIR WAKE. ONE FRONT MOVED UP OVER THE SOUTH ISLAND. THE OTHER TACKLED THE NORTH ISLAND. THE LEADING ONE WILL CLEAR NORTHERN DISTRICTS OVERNIGHT, WHILE THE SECOND ONE IS NOW MOVING OVER THE LOWER NORTH ISLAND. IN BEHIND IT YOU CAN SEE LOWER CLOUD PUSHING ONTO EASTERN PARTS OF THE SOUTH ISLAND AND SOME SHOWER CLOUD TO THE SOUTH OF US. CLEARER SKIES IN THE TASMAN UNDER THE HIGH. RAIN OR SHOWERS FOR FIORDLAND WESTLAND AND THE SOUTH COAST. FOR WEATHER, SEE ONENEWS.CO.NZ THAT'S ALL FROM ME THIS EVENING. HAVE A GOOD NIGHT. AND THAT'S ONE NEWS FOR WEDNESDAY.
