DUE TO THE LIVE NATURE OF MIDDAY WE APOLOGISE FOR THE LACK OF CAPTIONS FOR SOME ITEMS. FROM BLADE-RUNNING HERO TO MURDER ACCUSED ` OSCAR PISTORIUS IS IN CUSTODY FOR SHOOTING HIS GIRLFRIEND DEAD. TWO MEN APPEAR IN COURT OVER THE BURNT BODY CASE. AND WOULD YOU TRUST YOUR CAR TO DRIVE YOU? THE NEXT STEP IN COMPUTERISED VEHICLES. SOUTH AFRICAN SPRINTING STAR OSCAR PISTORIUS HAS TURNED FROM NATIONAL HERO TO MURDER ACCUSED. PISTORIUS, WHO'S BEEN DUBBED THE BLADE RUNNER, WILL APPEAR IN COURT LATER TODAY CHARGED WITH MURDERING HIS GIRLFRIEND. POLICE HAVE DISMISSED SUGGESTIONS THE DOUBLE AMPUTEE MISTOOK REEVA STEENKAMP FOR A BURGLAR. HERE'S THE BBC'S ANDREW HARDING. THERE'S NEVER BEEN ANYONE QUITE LIKE HIM. THE BLADE RUNNER, A GLOBAL SENSATION, THE FIRST DOUBLE AMPUTEE TO COMPETE IN BOTH THE PARALYMPIC AND THE OLYMPIC GAMES. IT'S GOLD AGAIN FOR OSCAR PISTORIUS. BUT TODAY THE POLICE SAY SOUTH AFRICA'S OSCAR PISTORIUS IS A MURDER SUSPECT, ACCUSED OF KILLING HIS GIRLFRIEND. THE SHOOTING HAPPENED HERE EARLY THIS MORNING AT PISTORIUS' HOME ON A CLOSELY GUARDED SUBURBAN ESTATE. THE POLICE SAID NEIGHBOURS HEARD LOUD VOICES, AN ARGUMENT, AT THE HOUSE OVERNIGHT, THEN GUNSHOTS. THEY SAY THERE HAVE BEEN PREVIOUS DOMESTIC INCIDENTS AT THE HOME. THE SOUTH AFRICAN POLICE SERVICE WERE JUST AS SURPRISED THIS MORNING TO HEAR OVER THE RADIO THAT ALLEGATIONS HAD BEEN MADE THAT, UM, THE DECEASED HAD BEEN PERCEIVED TO BE A BURGLAR. WE WERE VERY SURPRISED, AND THOSE ALLEGATIONS DID NOT COME FROM US. THIS MAY BE A VIOLENT COUNTRY, BUT PISTORIUS IS A LEGEND HERE, HIS NEIGHBOURS ANXIOUS FOR MORE INFORMATION. THE DEAD WOMAN HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED AS REEVA STEENKAMP, A WELL-KNOWN SOUTH AFRICAN MODEL WHO'D BEEN DATING PISTORIUS SINCE NOVEMBER. THEIR RELATIONSHIP AND THEIR CAREERS WERE RARELY OUT OF THE HEADLINES HERE. AS FOR PISTORIUS, IT'S BEEN A REMARKABLE LIFE. HE WAS BORN WITHOUT FIBULA BONES IN HIS LOWER LEGS. THEY WERE AMPUTATED WHEN HE WAS A YEAR OLD. WITH THE HELP OF REVOLUTIONARY PROSTHETIC LEGS HE BLOSSOMED INTO AN EXCEPTIONAL ATHLETE. GOLD AT SUCCESSIVE PARALYMPICS FOLLOWED. AFTER LONG LEGAL BATTLES, HE FINALLY QUALIFIED FOR THE LONDON OLYMPICS, REACHING THE SEMI-FINALS. AT THE PARALYMPICS HE HAD TO APOLOGISE TO ANOTHER RUNNER AFTER ACCUSING HIM OF USING BLADES THAT WERE TOO LONG. PISTORIUS WENT ON TO WIN TWO GOLDS. BUT NOW A GLITTERING CAREER HAS BEEN OVERTAKEN BY THE SHOCKING AND AS YET UNEXPLAINED DEATH THAT OCCURRED ON THIS WEALTHY SOUTH AFRICAN ESTATE. MORE DETAILS HAVE EMERGED ABOUT THE LINK BETWEEN THE VICTIM IN THE BURNT BODY CASE AND ONE OF THE MEN ACCUSED OF MURDERING HIM. TWO MEN ARE DUE TO APPEAR IN COURT CHARGED WITH MURDERING SHALVIN PRASAD, WHO BURNED TO DEATH BY THE SIDE OF A RURAL SOUTH AUCKLAND ROAD IN JANUARY. ONE NEWS REPORTER WILL HINE HAS BEEN FINDING OUT MORE, AND HE JOINS US NOW LIVE FROM THE MANUKAU DISTRICT COURT. WILL. TWO MEN, 18 AND 20, ARE DUE TO APPEAR HERE SHORTLY. THEY WERE ARRESTED YESTERDAY AFTER RAIDS IN PAPATOETOE. ONE IS KNOWN TO SHALVIN PRASAD. THIS IS A FRIEND OF SOME SORT. POLICE WON'T ELABORATE ON THAT. POLICE ARE AFTER MORE INFORMATION FROMT HE PUBLIC. THEY WANT DETAILS ABOUT TWO VEHICLES, A LIME GREEN CORRIDOR AND A SILVER NISSAN BLUEBIRD. POLICE HAVE ACCOUNTED FOR ALMOST ALL OF THAT MONEY. MOST OF IT HAS BEEN SPENT. THEY WON'T ELABORATE FURTHER. THE WALLET AND CAR KEYS BELONGING TO SHALVIN PRASAD STILL HAVEN'T BEEN FOUND. THANKS, WILL HINE, LIVE FROM AUCKLAND. AND AN 18-YEAR-OLD IS ALSO DUE TO APPEAR IN THE SAME COURT THIS MORNING, CHARGED WITH THE MANSLAUGHTER OF HIS FRIEND. SHAUN TOWNSLEY WAS SHOT IN THE ABDOMEN WITH AN AIRGUN AT A MANUREWA PROPERTY LAST MONTH. HE DIED IN HOSPITAL SHORTLY AFTER. POLICE BELIEVE ALCOHOL WAS A FACTOR IN THE SHOOTING. THE MAN WHO KILLED WELLINGTON JOURNALIST PHILLIP COTTRELL IN A VIOLENT ATTACK HAS BEEN SENTENCED TODAY. MR COTTRELL, WHO HAD BRITTLE BONES, SUFFERED A SHATTERED SKULL AFTER BEING ATTACKED BY NICHO WAIPUKA (20). ONE NEWS REPORTER JAMES RANSLEY JOINS US NOW LIVE FROM THE HIGH COURT AT WELLINGTON. JAMES. NICHO WAIPUKA HAS BEEN SENTENCED TO 12 YEARS 10 MONTHS BEHIND BARS. HE'LL SERVE 8 YEARS BEFORE ELIGIBLE FOR PAROLE. PHILLIP COTTRELL WAS HEADING HOME WHEN NICHO WAIPUKA PUNCHED HIM AND KICKED HIM. JUSTICE MILLER DESCRIBED NICHO WAIPUKA AS A YOUNG MAN WITH NO DESIRE TO BE REHABILITATED. HERE'S WHAT SHE HAD TO SAY OUTSIDE COURT A SHORT TIME AGO. WITH THE VERDICT THAT WAS GIVEN, WE FEEL LIKE THE JURY GAVE TWO ANGRY THUGS THE BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT RATHER THAN GIVING JUSTICE FOR AN INNOCENT MAN. BUT JUSTICE MILLER'S DONE THE BEST FOR US THAT HE POSSIBLY COULD IN THESE SITUATIONS, AND WE'RE REALLY REALLY GRATEFUL FOR THAT. UM, WE WERE PREPARED FOR THE WORST, AND IT'S ACTUALLY WAY BETTER THAN WHAT WE WERE EXPECTING WITH REGARDS TO THE SENTENCE. THE MANSLAUGHTER CHARGE CAN CARRY A MAXIMUM OF LIFE IMPRISONMENT. THE JUDGE SAID GIVEN NICHO WAIPUKA'S EARLY AGE THANKS, JAMES RANSLEY, LIVE FROM WELLINGTON. THERE'S BEEN A SURPRISE ADMISSION IN THE COLD CASE OF SARA NIETHE. HER FORMER BOYFRIEND HAS PLEADED GUILTY TO MANSLAUGHTER, CLAIMING HE OVERDOSED HER WITH METHAMPHETAMINE. BUT HE'S REFUSING TO DIVULGE THE WHEREABOUTS OF HER BODY. THE 30-YEAR-OLD MOTHER OF THREE DISAPPEARED AFTER VISITING MARK PAKENHAM'S HOUSE IN MARCH 2003. PAKENHAM ALWAYS DENIED ANY INVOLVEMENT IN HER DISAPPEARANCE, BUT WAS CHARGED WITH HER MURDER IN 2011. HE PLEADED GUILTY TO THE LESSER CHARGE OF MANSLAUGHTER IN THE HAMILTON HIGH COURT THIS MORNING. HE ALSO ADMITTED TWO CHARGES OF INJURING TWO WOMEN. HE'LL BE SENTENCED IN JUNE. POLICE ARE OFFERING A HEFTY REWARD FOR ANY INFORMATION THAT'LL HELP SOLVE THE MURDER OF PAEROA BUSINESSMAN JORDAN VOUDOURIS. IT'S BEEN EIGHT MONTHS SINCE MR VOUDOURIS WAS FOUND DEAD BEHIND HIS MYKONOS PIZZA AND PASTA RESTAURANT LAST JUNE. POLICE ARE HOPING A $50,000 INCENTIVE WILL RESULT IN FRESH LEADS THAT'LL LEAD TO A CONVICTION. THE CORDONS AROUND CHRISTCHURCH'S CENTRAL CITY RED ZONE HAVE BEEN REDUCED EVEN FURTHER TODAY, WITH EARTHQUAKE RECOVERY MINISTER GERRY BROWNLEE URGING RESIDENTS TO CALL IT THE 'REBUILD ZONE'. SINCE THE FEBRUARY 2011 EARTHQUAKE WROTE OFF MUCH OF THE CBD, IT'S BEEN REDUCED FROM 387HA TO JUST 38HA TODAY. THE GOVERNMENT'S ALSO CONFIRMED THAT 47 COMMERCIAL PROPERTY OWNERS IN THE CENTRAL CITY HAVE AGREED TO SELL THEIR LAND TO MAKE WAY FOR THE CITY'S NEW BLUEPRINT. NEGOTIATIONS ARE UNDERWAY TO PURCHASE ANOTHER 215 PROPERTIES. FARMERS HERE ARE HOPING THE NZ MEAT INDUSTRY CAN CAPITALISE ON EUROPE'S HORSE MEAT SCANDAL. FEDERATED FARMERS SAYS THE NEW NATIONAL ANIMAL IDENTIFICATION AND TRACING SYSTEM GIVES NZ ONE OF THE MOST RIGOROUS SYSTEMS IN THE WORLD. AS THE SAGA CONTINUES IN EUROPE, A FRENCH GOVERNMENT MINISTER HAS ACCUSED A FOOD PROCESSING COMPANY OF FRAUD. IT'S ALLEGED THE COMPANY KNOWINGLY RELABELLED HORSE MEAT FROM ROMANIA AS BEEF. THE BBC'S CHRISTIAN FRASER REPORTS. THEY POINTED THE FINGER AT THE ROMANIANS AND A CRIMINAL FRAUD IN THE SHADOWY REACHES OF THE EUROPEAN UNION. BUT TONIGHT THE FRENCH COMPANY SPANGHERO WAS PLACED FIRMLY IN THE DOCK. THE MINISTER FOR CONSUMER AFFAIRS, BENOIT HAMON, SAID THEY ORDERED ROMANIAN HORSE MEAT AND THEY SENT IT OUT AS BEEF. (SPEAKS FRENCH) TRANSLATOR: 'SPANGHERO WAS THE FIRST ACTOR OF THE FOOD CHAIN 'TO STAMP HORSE MEAT FROM ROMANIA AS BEEF.' SUCH IS THE DIFFERENCE IN PRICE BETWEEN HORSE AND BEEF, THEY ESTIMATE SPANGHERO MADE 500,000 EUROS FROM THIS TRANSACTION, AND THEY'RE NOW CONSIDERING WITHDRAWING THEIR LICENCE. THE ROMANIAN HORSE MEAT TRAVELLED VIA HOLLAND THROUGH THIS COLD STORAGE FACILITY IN BREDA. IT WAS BROUGHT HERE BY JAN FASEN, A DUTCH MEAT TRADER WITH HIS OWN INTERESTING HISTORY. IN JANUARY 2012, JAN FASEN WAS CONVICTED AT THIS COURTHOUSE IN BREDA FOR THE FRAUDULENT MISLABELLING OF MEAT AS PART OF A CRIMINAL NETWORK. THE COURT RECORD SAYS HE RELABELLED IMPORTED MEXICAN AND BRAZILIAN HORSE MEAT AS HALAL BEEF. AUTOMATED VOICEMAIL MESSAGE OUR CALLS TO MR FASEN HAVE GONE UNANSWERED, THOUGH HE DOES DENY ANY WRONGDOING IN THIS PARTICULAR CASE. THE COLD STORAGE COMPANY CAN'T REACH HIM EITHER. STRANGE, SINCE THEY'RE CURRENTLY HOLDING 200 PALLETS OF HORSE MEAT HE PARKED HERE WITH A RETAIL VALUE OF $1M EUROS. LIKE THE ROMANIANS, THIS WAREHOUSE DIRECTOR ASSURED US THAT WHEN THE SHIPMENT LEFT HIS CONTROL, IT LEFT AS HORSEMEAT. DRAAP BACKWARDS SPELLS 'HORSE' IN DUTCH, AND THAT'S 80% OF MR FASEN'S BUSINESS. THIS IS THE DRAAP MEAT CURRENTLY IN STORAGE AT THE WAREHOUSE, AND THIS IS THE PALLET STICKER FOR ROMANIAN HORSE TRIMMING ` THE OFFCUTS. EARLIER THIS MONTH, SPANGHERO ISSUED A DENIAL ON THEIR WEBSITE THAT THEY EVER BOUGHT OR HANDLED HORSE MEAT, BUT THIS IS ONE OF THE THREE INVOICES MR FASEN SENT TO THE COMPANY FOR THREE CONSIGNMENTS OF HORSE MEAT HE SUPPLIED THEM ON JANUARY FOR A TOTAL OF 42 TONS. THOUSANDS OF STRANDED PASSENGERS ARE WITHIN SIGHT OF LAND AFTER THEIR FOUR-DAY CRUISE TURNED INTO A WEEK-LONG ORDEAL. AN ENGINE FIRE HAS DISABLED THE VESSEL IN THE GULF OF MEXICO. IT'S NOW UNDER TOW, BUT THE SHIP'S 4000 PASSENGERS HAVE BEEN FORCED TO USE PLASTIC BAGS FOR THEIR TOILET NEEDS AND HAVE BEEN SLEEPING ON DECK BECAUSE THERE'S NO AIR CONDITIONING IN THE CABINS. PASSENGERS HAVE REPORTED SEWAGE IN THE CORRIDORS AND FOOD SHORTAGES. WELL, WE MAY HAVE THE SPCA'S DRIVING DOGS HERE IN NZ, BUT CARS ARE BEING DEVELOPED THAT ONE DAY MAY NOT NEED ANY DRIVER AT ALL. A TEAM AT OXFORD UNIVERSITY HAVE BEEN WORKING ON A CAR DRIVEN ALMOST COMPLETELY BY COMPUTER, AND THEY SAY IT COULD BE SURPRISINGLY CHEAP TO MAKE. THE BBC'S RICHARD WESTCOTT HAS BEEN TAKING A LOOK. HOW WOULD YOU LIKE A ROBOT FOR A CHAUFFER? THIS IS THE FIRST LOOK AT A NEW SELF-DRIVING CAR FROM A TEAM AT OXFORD UNIVERSITY. IT'S UNIQUE BECAUSE IT'S AFFORDABLE. WORKING OFF TWO LASERS AND A COMPUTER, THIS SYSTEM COULD EVENTUALLY COST DRIVERS JUST �100. IT IS A LITTLE DISCONCERTING, AS YOU CAN PROBABLY IMAGINE, BEING DRIVEN BY A COMPUTER. WE'RE COMING UP TO A TIGHT BEND NOW. ALEX, HANDS OFF THE STEERING WHEEL. THE ONE QUESTION ALWAYS ON YOUR MIND IS HOW WILL IT REACT IF SOMEBODY WALKS OUT INTO THE ROAD. OK. SAFE. THE SYSTEM ISN'T AUTOMATIC FROM THE START. IT NEEDS TO LEARN YOUR ROUTES AS YOU DRIVE AROUND. THEN AS SOON AS IT RECOGNISES A FAMILIAR JOURNEY, LIKE THE SCHOOL RUN, IT ASKS IF YOU WANT IT TO TAKE OVER. THIS SENSOR HERE, JUST POKING OUT FROM UNDERNEATH THE NUMBER PLATE, IS EMITTING A LASER CURTAIN. 30 YEARS AGO, DRIVERLESS TECHNOLOGY LOOKED A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT. NEVER DID I BELIEVE THAT I'D END UP WITH A CAR WITH NO DRIVER AT ALL. TODAY YOU CAN BUY A NEW CAR THAT BRAKES AUTOMATICALLY FOR YOU. AND GOOGLE'S SELF-DRIVING CARS HAVE CLOCKED UP 300,000 MILES IN AMERICA. THE ONLY CRASH WAS WHEN A HUMAN TOOK OVER. WITH MANY BIG CAR-MAKERS WORKING ON NEW SYSTEMS, IT SEEMS SELF-DRIVING CARS ARE JUST AROUND THE CORNER. THE ICE SKATERS WHO WOWED THE WORLD AND JUDGES WITH THEIR NOW FAMOUS RAVEL'S BOLERO ROUTINE HAVE ADMITTED WHAT MANY SUSPECTED FOR YEARS. THE PAIR WON GOLD AT THE 1984 SARAJEVO GAMES AFTER ACHIEVING A PERFECT SCORE WITH THIS ROUTINE. APPLAUSE, RAVEL'S BOLERO PLAYS AFTER DECADES OF DENYING THEY EVER HAD AN AFFAIR, JAYNE TORVILL AND CHRISTOPHER DEAN HAVE TOLD A BRITISH INTERVIEWER THEY DID IN FACT 'DABBLE IN ROMANCE'. THE INTERVIEW HASN'T BEEN BROADCAST YET, BUT PIERS MORGAN HAS TWEETED THEY HAVE ADMITTED TO A SHORT ROMANTIC PAST TOGETHER. STILL TO COME ON MIDDAY ` IN BUSINESS NEWS, A SAUCY DEAL SETS THE SHAREMARKET AFLUTTER.

WE'VE HAD FIVE OR SIX YEARS OF HARD GOING FOR THESE BUSINESSES. 5%, 6% UP YEAR ON YEAR. CONSUMERS ARE SPENDING MORE THAN THEY HAVE. WE'VE HAD A GOOD SUMMER. INDICATIVE OF AN IMPROVING MARKET, IMPROVING ECONOMY. NZ SUPER FUND HAS SOLD DOWN ITS STAKE IN AUCKLAND AIRPORT. WHY? PROFIT-TAKING IN AN ELEVATED MARKET. HARD TO WORK OUT WHY THE NZ SUPER FUND EXISTS, LET ALONE WHAT IT DOES. SOME QUESTIONS HAVE TO BE ASKED THERE. BUT WHY HAVE THEY SOLD AUCKLAND AIRPORT? WE'D LIKE TO KNOW. THEY STILL HOLD 2% IN THE BUSINESS. THANK YOU, MARTIN ALLISON FROM CRAIGS INVESTMENT PARTNERS. TO MIDDAY SPORT NOW.

THE 15-YEAR-OLD AMATEUR FIRED THE BEST ROUND OF HER CAREER, A 10-UNDER-PAR 63, YESTERDAY TO LEAD BY ONE SHOT. JOHN HAYES BELL REPORTS. THE LOCALS WERE OUT EARLY AS THE NATIONAL CAPITAL WELCOMED THE WOMEN'S OPEN TO ITS CENTENARY CELEBRATIONS. THE CLASS FIELD, INCLUDING NINE OF THE WORLD'S TOP 20, WAS UPSTAGED BY THE AMATEUR LYDIA KO. AFTER STARTING AT THE 10TH, HER EAGLE AT THE PAR-FIVE 15TH TOOK HER TO FIVE UNDER. CROWD CHEERS OH! STRAIGHT IN. THE 15-YEAR-OLD NZER'S RUSH OF SUB-PAR HOLES CONTINUED AS SHE WENT OUT IN SIX UNDER 30. KO STRAIGHT IN AGAIN. HER FRONT NINE INCLUDED A CHIP-IN AT THE THIRD... APPLAUSE SUPERB. ...ON THE WAY TO FIVE MORE BIRDIES AND A ROUND OF 10 UNDER 63. IT WAS A PRETTY GOOD DAY OUT THERE, BUT THE WEATHER AND EVERYTHING, UM, I THINK IT HELPED A LOT, AND YOU CAN SEE BY THE OTHER SCORES, THERE ARE MANY LOW SCORES OUT THERE. COLOMBIAN MARIAJO URIBE CARDED SEVEN BIRDIES AND AN EAGLE IN HER FLAWLESS NINE UNDER 64. IN IT WENT! KOREAN MI HYANG LEE HAD NINE BIRDIES IN HER 66. AND TAIWANESE WORLD NUMBER ONE YANI TSENG WAS SOLID WITH HER 65, WHILE THE DEFENDING TITLE HOLDER, AMERICAN JESSICA KORDA, WILL BEGIN THE SECOND ROUND SEVEN SHOTS FROM THE LEAD AFTER CHIPPING IN AT THE LAST. GO IN! YES! YOU BEAUTY! AND LYDIA KO WILL TEE OFF IN ROUND TWO LATER THIS AFTERNOON. THE NORTH QUEENSLAND COWBOYS ARE CONSIDERING LEGAL ACTION AFTER BEING CLEARED IN AUSTRALIA'S DOPING INVESTIGATION. THE COWBOYS WERE ONE OF SIX NRL CLUBS UNDER INVESTIGATION. HERE'S CHANNEL NINE'S DAMIAN RYAN. THE COWBOYS WERE ONE OF THE SO-CALLED DIRTY HALF DOZEN NAMED AND SHAMED. NOW THE CLUB SAYS IT'S COOPERATED WITH THE DRUG AGENCY, AND IT'S CASE CLOSED. WE NEVER HAD ANYTHING TO CLEAR UP. BUT DAMAGE HAS BEEN DONE, AND THE COWBOYS SAY THEY'LL BE LOOKING AT SUING. I WOULD SAY WE FEEL LIKE WE ARE ENTITLED TO BE A LITTLE BIT AGGRIEVED BY THE PROCESS. I'M NOT SURE WHY IT NEEDED TO BE SO PUBLIC. AND WHILE THE COWBOYS SAY THEY'RE OFF THE HOOK, THE ANTI-DOPING AGENCY DECLARED THAT IT HAS 150 SUSPECTS, AND ALL WILL BE INTERROGATED. WHEN I TALK ABOUT 150, I'M TALKING ABOUT ADMINISTRATORS, SUPPORT PEOPLE AND ATHLETES. COULD THEY LEAD YOU TO MORE? > ABSOLUTELY. THE CANBERRA RAIDERS DIDN'T WAIT FOR THEM TO COME KNOCKING. THEY SOUGHT AND WERE GRANTED A BRIEFING WITH ASADA. THE IMPORTANT THING WAS, FOR THEM, OBVIOUSLY, YOU KNOW, CAN WE GET IT DONE AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE, CLEAR US AND THEN MOVE ON. AND FOR THE AFL CLUB MOST UNDER SCRUTINY IN THIS SORRY SAGA, THERE IS NO LET-UP. STILL TO COME ON MIDDAY, I'LL BE BACK WITH THE AFTERNOON WEATHER.
