WE APOLOGISE FOR THE LACK OF CAPTIONS FOR SOME ITEMS. 'I DO' ` NZ SAYS YES TO GAY MARRIAGE IN AN HISTORIC VOTE IN PARLIAMENT. HER FINAL JOURNEY ` BRITAIN FAREWELLS A FORMIDABLE LEADER. AND WERE THE ATTACKS ON THE BOSTON MARATHON CARRIED OUT BY HOMEGROWN TERRORISTS? IN THE LAST HOUR GAY MARRIAGE HAS BECOME LEGAL, MAKING NZ THE 13TH COUNTRY TO DO SO. THE BILL PASSED ITS FINAL STAGE AT PARLIAMENT TONIGHT, DESPITE PASSIONATE DEBATE RIGHT TILL THE BITTER END. HUNDREDS TURNED UP TO WITNESS THE HISTORIC EVENT. DEPUTY POLITICAL EDITOR JESSICA MUTCH WAS THERE. THE 'AYES' ARE 77. THE 'NOES' ARE 44. CHEERING AND WITH THAT, GAY MARRIAGE BECOMES LEGAL IN NZ. LABOUR MP LOUISA WALL IS THE BILL'S ARCHITECT. SHE WORE A SPECIAL RAINBOW OUTFIT FOR THE OCCASION AND SAYS IT'S A MASSIVE MILESTONE FOR NZ. YAY, WE DID IT. (LAUGHS) HUNDREDS TURNED UP TO PARLIAMENT TO WATCH HISTORY IN THE MAKING, SOME EVEN QUEUING DESPITE THE TERRIBLE WEATHER. 200 PEOPLE CAN FIT IN THE PUBLIC GALLERY INSIDE THE DEBATING CHAMBER. THAT'S ABSOLUTELY CHOCKER, SO AN EXTRA 240 SEATS HAVE BEEN SET UP IN THE ROOM NEXT DOOR SO THAT PEOPLE CAN STILL BE PART OF THE ACTION. THE DEBATE LASTED FOR TWO HOURS. I HAVE LONGED FOR THIS FOR A VERY VERY LONG TIME. MY ONLY SADNESS IS THAT BOTH OF MY PARENTS HAVE NOW PASSED, AND IT WOULD HAVE BEEN SUCH A HUGE JOY TO HAVE THEM AT MY WEDDING. HISTORY AND TRADITION HAVE INVESTED SIGNIFICANT MEANING INTO TO THE TERM OF MARRIAGE, AND I BELIEVE WE NEED TO RETAIN ITS PRESENT DEFINITION. THERE WAS A BATTLE BETWEEN FORMER COLLEAGUES,... MS WALL, WHAT DO THE PEOPLE OF MANUREWA THINK? WHAT DO THE PEOPLE OUT THERE IN SOUTH AUCKLAND AT MANUREWA THINK? AND THAT SPEECH THAT I HEARD TONIGHT, MR SPEAKER, WAS THE BIGGEST SHYSTER SPEECH I'VE EVER HEARD. THE BIGGEST SHYSTER SPEECH I'VE EVER HEARD! ...AND A FEW LIGHTER MOMENTS. IT WAS POURING WITH RAIN. WE HAVE THE MOST ENORMOUS BIG GAY RAINBOW ACROSS MY ELECTORATE. IT HAS TO BE A SIGN, SIR. I'LL LET YOU ALL IN ON A LITTLE SECRET. WE'VE ALL BEEN CALLING OUR PARTNERS HUSBANDS FOR YEARS. NORMALLY IT'S WHEN I'M BEING TOLD OFF. SOON IT'LL BE OFFICIAL. GAY COUPLES CAN TIE THE KNOT FROM AUGUST. JESSICA MUTCH, ONE NEWS. TONIGHT'S HISTORIC FINAL READING IN PARLIAMENT HAS BEEN A RIVETING WATCH ESPECIALLY FOR THOSE IN THE GAY COMMUNITY. SARAH BRADLEY JOINS US NOW FROM CELEBRATIONS AT A WELLINGTON GAY BAR, S&M. SARAH? EVERYONE'S VERY HAPPY. ONE WOMAN SAID 'YOU ARE SO LUCKY TO BE COVERING THIS EVENT'. MEL AND SARAH HERE ARE STOKED. FOR THE LGBT COMMUNITY, WE'VE WAITED SO MANY YEARS. NOTHING'S GONNA FALL APART, IT'S ALL ABOUT EQUALITY. IT'S TAKEN A LONG TIME. TODAY WE'RE THE HAPPIEST PEOPLE IN THE WORLD. WE'RE NOT GONNA RUSH. WE'LL WAIT TILL WE CAN INVITE EVERYONE. WE'VE BEEN MARRIED IN HAWAII, TEN YEARS AGO. THIS TIME WE'LL BE ABLE TO SHARE IT WITH EVERYONE. THAT SEEMS TO BE THE ISSUE, THAT PEOPLE WANT TO SHARE LOVE WITH THEIR FAMILY. YOU AND YOUR PARTNER HAVE BEEN TOGETHER 25 YEARS. MARRIAGE PLANS? YES INDEED. NEED A YEAR FOR THE RELATIVES TO PLAN. WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT? BECAUSE WE'RE BEGINNING TO EXPERIENCE WHAT OUR PARENTS WENT THROUGH.� IT'S AN IMPORTANT LIFE EXPERIENCE. WONDERFUL TO BE HERE. A BIG CHEER FROM EVERYONE! THANKS, SARAH BRADLEY IN WELLINGTON. NOW TO BREAKING NEWS. POLICE AND FIRE CREWS IN AUCKLAND ARE SEARCHING FOR A CAR THAT'S BELIEVED TO HAVE PLUNGED INTO THE PANMURE BASIN. THE SUBURB OF PANMURE IS 13KM EAST OF THE AUCKLAND CBD, NEAR MT WELLINGTON. A SHORT TIME AGO ONE NEWS SPOKE TO INSPECTOR TONY WAKELIN AT THE SCENE. THIS IS WHAT HE HAD TO SAY. WE GOT A CALL ABOUT 8.30 TONIGHT FROM A MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC COS THEY SAW A CAR GO INTO THE WATER. WE CAME DOWN. HE SHOWED SOME PHOTOGRAPHS OF THE CAR GOING IN. WE ALSO REVIEWED SOME CCTV FOOTAGE FROM THE YACHT CLUB. SADLY, THAT DOES SHOW A VEHICLE GOING DOWN THE BOAT RAMP AND GOING INTO THE WATER. AT THIS STAGE, WE'RE NOT SURE OF HOW MANY OCCUPANTS IN THE CAR. DEFINITELY, OBVIOUSLY, ONE DRIVER. THE CAR'S FLOATED FOR A FEW MINUTES, THEN IT'S SUNK. SO WE'RE NOW LOOKING AT A RECOVERY PHASE, UNFORTUNATELY. JOINING US NOW LIVE BY PHONE FROM THE SCENE AT PANMURE IS REPORTER KRISTIN HALL. AS YOU HEARD, POLICE CONFIRMED AT LEAST ONE PERSON DROVE INTO THE WATER AT SOME SPEED. THE CAR WOULD HAVE HAD TO DO A SHARP TURN IN THE CAR PARK OF THE YACHT CLUB, AND OVER THE PIER, SO IT SEEMS IT WOULD HAVE TO BE INTENTIONAL. POLICE ARE TREATING IT AS HOMICIDE FOR NOW THOUGH. IT'S VERY DARK AND HARD TO COLLECT ANY EVIDENCE. POLICE BOAT AND HELICOPTER HAVE FOUND NOTHING SO FAR. RELYING ON ONE WITNESS AND CCTV FOOTAGE AT THE MOMENT. POLICE ARE LIMITED BY DARKNESS FOR NOW. DIVE SQUAD FROM WELLINGTON ARE ON THEIR WAY TO SEARCH IN THE MORNING. THANK YOU, KRISTIN HALL. AND WE'LL BRING YOU FURTHER UPDATES AS SOON AS WE GET MORE INFORMATION. INVESTIGATORS PROBING THE BOSTON MARATHON BOMBING ARE STILL TRYING TO FIND OUT WHETHER THOSE RESPONSIBLE WERE HOMEGROWN TERRORISTS OR FOREIGN NATIONALS. MORE DETAILS HAVE EMERGED ON THOSE WHO DIED IN THE TWIN BLASTS, A CHINESE WOMAN STUDENT (23), A MASSACHUSSETTS WOMAN (29) AND A BOY (8). OUR US CORRESPONDENT JACK TAME SENT THIS REPORT FROM FROM BOSTON. IN BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS, THE MARATHON CITY DAWNED A CITY AT HALF MAST, BOUQUETS, BARRICADES AND BODY ARMOUR, BUT IT COULDN'T KEEP THE RUNNERS OFF THE STREET. ALREADY ON MY RUN THIS MORNING, PEOPLE ARE WAVING AND SMILING. (CRIES) I AM JUST GRATEFUL THAT EVERYONE I KNOW IS OK. BOOM! G 8 AT THE SCENE OF THE TWO BLASTS FBI INVESTIGATORS CRAWLED AND SCOURED FOR CLUES. BOTH BOMBS WERE BELIEVED TO HAVE BEEN IN PRESSURE COOKERS INSIDE BLACK NYLON BAGS. THEY WERE PACKED WITH NAILS, BALL BEARINGS AND SHRAPNEL. ONE WOMAN FROM THE BLAST HAD A PIECE OF A ZIPPER ` THE HANDLE OF A ZIPPER ` EMBEDDED IN HER ANKLE JOINT, WHICH IS INDICATIVE OF THE FORCE OF THE EXPLOSION. BUT A DAY AND A HALF ON, POLICE SAY THEY'RE NO CLOSER TO HAVING SUSPECTS AND NO ONE IS IN CUSTODY. THIS WAS A HEINOUS AND COWARDLY ACT. AND GIVEN WHAT WE NOW KNOW ABOUT WHAT TOOK PLACE, THE FBI IS NOW INVESTIGATING IT AS AN ACT OF TERRORISM. AS MORE VIDEO OF THE BLASTS EMERGES, SO TOO ARE THE FACES AND NAMES THEY CLAIMED. BOOM! A BOSTON COMMUNITY HELD A CANDLELIGHT VIGIL THIS EVENING FOR MARTIN RICHARD (8), KILLED WHILE WAITING FOR HIS DAD TO CROSS THE FINISH LINE. HIS MUM IS IN HOSPITAL WITH A SERIOUS HEAD INJURY. HIS SISTER LOST HER LEG IN THE BLAST. A CHINESE STUDENT ALSO DIED, AS DID KRYSTAL CAMPBELL (29). SHE WAS ALWAYS SMILING FROM... YOU COULD NOT ASK FOR A BETTER DAUGHTER. I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS HAS HAPPENED. FOR THE TIME BEING, A HUGE SLAB OF BOSTON REMAINS ON LOCKDOWN. SCRAPS FROM AN ABANDONED RACE SWIRL IN THE GUTTERS. IT'S LUNCHTIME IN BOSTON. USUALLY, THESE STREETS WOULD BE CRAWLING WITH BUSINESS PEOPLE. INSTEAD, BLOCKADES LIKE THIS HAVE BEEN SET UP ALL THROUGHOUT THE CBD. ALREADY TODAY, WE'VE BEEN ASKED TO SHOW PHOTO IDENTIFICATION SEVERAL TIMES, AND PASSENGERS ON PUBLIC TRANSPORT HAVE HAD THEIR BAGS SEARCHED BY POLICE. SCATTERED THROUGHOUT THE CITY ARE BEWILDERED-LOOKING COMPETITORS. WE FOUND FORMER US CONGRESSWOMAN JEAN SCHMIDT. SHE RAN WITH HER SISTER AND FINISHED JUST BEFORE THE BLASTS ` HER 99TH MARATHON. I'M GOING TO BE DOING MY HUNDREDTH IN MY HOMETOWN IN TWO WEEKS, AND I'D HOPED THAT I'D HAVE MY FAMILY AT ALL POINTS OF THE RACE, BUT I'M GONNA HAVE THEM STAY HOME. YOU MESS WITH ONE OF US, YOU MESS WITH ALL OF US. THAT IS THE MESSAGE FROM AROUND THE US TODAY. THE PROMISE FROM A NATION HOPING JUSTICE COMES QUICKLY. JACK TAME, ONE NEWS, BOSTON. THE NAME OF THE CHINESE VICTIM OF THE ATTACK HAS NOW BEEN RELEASED. SHE WAS STUDENT LU LINGZI (23). AN AMERICAN TV STATION CLAIMS IT HAS PHOTOS OF ONE OF THE TWO BOSTON BOMBS. THE IMAGES OF THE MANGLED STAINLESS STEEL PRESSURE COOKER COULD HOLD CLUES TO WHERE IT WAS MANUFACTURED AND SOLD. ANOTHER PICTURE APPEARS TO SHOW A DARK DUFFEL BAG WHICH COULD'VE CARRIED THE BOMB. ABC'S JIM AVILA NOW PIECES TOGETHER WHY THE BOMBS WERE SO POWERFUL DESPITE THEIR SMALL SIZE. BOOM! THE KILLER BOMBS LIKELY CONTAINED LESS THAN 2 POUNDS OF COMMON BLACK POWDER EXPLOSIVE, SAYS ONE OF THE NATION'S LEADING IED EXPERTS. EVEN LEAVING THE CHARACTERISTIC WHITE SMOKE, BOMBS DESIGNED TO SPREAD TERROR AND DEATH WITH A LETHAL BLAST OF METAL SHRAPNEL. WINDOWS BLOWN OUT HERE, BUT THE BUILDINGS THEMSELVES ARE INTACT. WHAT DOES ALL THAT TELL US ABOUT WHAT THIS BOMBER WANTED TO DO? THAT HE DID NOT WANNA TAKE DOWN THE BUILDINGS ` THAT WASN'T HIS MAIN TARGET. IT WAS TO DISRUPT THE MARATHON AND KILL PEOPLE IN THAT IMMEDIATE AREA. HOUSTON SAYS THIS IS CLASSIC IED DESIGN, THE FATAL ZONE FROM THE BLAST JUST 1 OR 2YD. BUT ACCORDING TO ACCOUNTS FROM THE BOMB SITE, POWERFUL ENOUGH TO KNOCK A RUNNER OFF HIS FEET 10YD AWAY AND TOPPLE ANOTHER MAN FROM HIS COUCH ON THE THIRD FLOOR OF A BUILDING NEXT DOOR 20YD AWAY. IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S A PRETTY BASIC DESIGN OF AN IMPROVISED EXPLOSIVE DEVICE. HOWEVER, THE PLACEMENT IS PRETTY SOPHISTICATED. THEY UNDERSTOOD WHAT THEY WANTED TO DO AND WHEN THEY WANTED TO DO IT. THE PRESSURE COOKER IS WELL KNOWN BY THE MILITARY AS A LETHAL BOMB CARRIER, COVERED IN THEIR TRAINING MANUALS AND DISPLAYED IN ACTION IN VIDEOS. BOOM! THESE IEDS MAY BE SMALL, EASILY MADE, EVEN CRUDE, BUT OUR BOMB EXPERT SAYS THE PLANNING AND EXECUTION TELL HIM THAT THE TERRORIST WAS WELL TRAINED. I WOULD BE SURPRISED IF IT'S A LONE ACT. HE'S DEFINITELY BEEN WORKING ON THIS FOR A WHILE ` THE PLANNING AND WORKING ON PUTTING THE DEVICES TOGETHER. EVIDENCE COLLECTED AT THE SCENE IS BEING RECONSTRUCTED AT AN FBI LABORATORY IN VIRGINIA. THE MINISTRY OF EDUCATION IS TAKING A $1.5B LAWSUIT FOR THE COST OF REPAIRING HUNDREDS OF LEAKY SCHOOL BUILDINGS ACROSS THE COUNTRY. THE HUGE COST OF THE CLAIM INVOLVES 300 SCHOOLS AND 800 BUILDINGS. I CAN'T TELL YOU THE AMOUNT OF MONEY THAT IT WILL COST US, BUT IT IS IMPORTANT THAT WE PROTECT THE QUALITY OF ASSETS THAT ARE SCHOOL BUILDINGS. THE LEGAL ACTION AGAINST WALL CLADDING COMPANIES, INCLUDING TWO NZ JAMES HARDIE SUBSIDIARIES, PROMPTED THE AUSTRALIAN COMPANY TO HALT TRADING ON THE AUSTRALIAN STOCK EXCHANGE. JUST AHEAD ` WHY YOUR PHONE PROVIDER COULD BE FORCED TO OPEN ITS DOORS TO THE GOVERNMENT'S SPY AGENCY. AND JUST HOW THIS GRANNY GOT OUT OF THIS RATHER STICKY SITUATION. THE PHONE COMPANIES' VOLUNTARY RELATIONSHIP WITH OUR SPY AGENCIES COULD SOON BE A COMPULSORY ONE. IT'LL MEAN YOUR PHONE PROVIDER BEING FORCED TO OPEN ITS DOORS TO THE GSCB, THE SAME AGENCY CAUGHT ILLEGALLY SPYING ON NZ CITIZENS. POLITICAL REPORTER MICHAEL PARKIN HAS THE LATEST. ALMOST EVERYONE USES A CELL PHONE, AND SOON THE NETWORKS THAT PROVIDE YOUR CONNECTION COULD BE REQUIRED BY LAW TO WORK WITH THE GOVERNMENT'S COMMUNICATIONS SECURITY BUREAU, THE SPY AGENCY UNDER FIRE FOR SPYING ON MORE THAN 80 NZ CITIZENS. IT'S GOT THE POTENTIAL, HASN'T IT, TO LEAD ON TO CONSPIRACY THEORIES; ABOUT ` GREAT, NOW THE GOVERNMENTS GOING TO EXPAND ITS POWERS; AND I'M NOT ENTIRELY SURE THAT'S WHAT'S GOING ON. BUT IT CERTAINLY TIMING-WISE HAS BEEN VERY INTERESTING. CURRENTLY, THE LIKES OF TELECOM, VODAFONE AND 2 DEGREES VOLUNTARILY WORK WITH THE GCSB TO PREVENT UNAUTHORISED ACCESS TO THEIR NETWORKS. BUT THE MINISTER NOW WANTS A LEGAL REQUIREMENT FOR THE COMPANIES TO DO SO. HAS THERE BEEN A PROBLEM THAT'S LED TO THIS OBLIGATION? NO, I THINK THAT WE CAN BE CONFIDENT THAT THE NETWORK SECURITY ARRANGEMENTS WE'VE HAD HAVE WORKED VERY WELL. SO WHY CHANGE THEM, THEN? WELL, I THINK THAT IT'S A REFLECTION OF THE FACT THAT WE CAN NO LONGER RELY ON A GOOD, EASY WORKING RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN A SMALL NUMBER OF TELCO COMPANIES AND THE GOVERNMENT. UNDER THE PROPOSED LAW, THE TELCOS WILL BE PUNISHED IF THEY DON'T OPEN UP TO THE GCSB. BUT THE GOVERNMENT WON'T YET SAY HOW. WE WANT TO GET TO A POINT WHERE, IN THE END, THE GOVERNMENT HAS MORE TEETH AND MORE FORMALITY. AND ULTIMATELY, THEREFORE, YOU HAVE TO HAVE A PENALTY REGIME IF YOU'RE GOING TO DO THAT. A TELCO COULD BE FINED IF IT DOESN'T WORK ALONGSIDE THE GOVERNMENT AND THE GCSB? WELL, I HAVEN'T TALKED YET ABOUT WHAT THE PENALTIES ARE. WHAT I'VE SAID IS THAT WE NEED TO HAVE A VERY CLEAR SYSTEM OF WHAT ENFORCEMENT POWERS THERE ARE. SO WHILE THE GCSB'S FACING ITS OVERHAUL AFTER ILLEGAL SPYING, IT'S NOW LIKELY TO GAIN COMPULSORY ACCESS TO OUR PHONE NETWORKS BY THE END OF THE YEAR. MICHAEL PARKIN, ONE NEWS. A LETTER LACED WITH THE DEADLY TOXIN RICIN'S BEEN INTERCEPTED ON ITS WAY TO A US SENATOR. THE LETTER, ADDRESSED TO REPUBLICAN ROGER WICKER, WAS FOUND AT A MAIL SORTING CENTRE IN WASHINGTON. IT'S UNCLEAR WHY IT WAS SENT AND IS CURRENTLY BEING ANALYSED. RICIN, FOUND IN CASTOR BEANS, IS LETHAL WHEN INHALED OR SWALLOWED. A POWERFUL EARTHQUAKE IN SOUTHEASTERN IRAN HAS KILLED AT LEAST 35 PEOPLE AND DESTROYED HUNDREDS OF HOMES IN PAKISTAN. PAKISTAN OFFICIALS SAY AROUND 150 PEOPLE WERE INJURED IN THE TOWN OF MASHKEEL, CLOSE TO THE IRANIAN BORDER. CITIZENS AROUND THE ENTIRE REGION POURED INTO THE STREETS AFTER TREMORS WERE FELT AS FAR AWAY AS DUBAI AND DELHI. IT'S THE SECOND POWERFUL QUAKE IN IRAN IN A WEEK. THE FAMILY OF CONVICTED DRUG SMUGGLER SHAPELLE CORBY ARE DEMANDING A SIX-FIGURE COMPENSATION PAYOUT FROM THE PUBLISHERS OF AN UNAUTHORISED BOOK. THEY TOOK THEIR BATTLE TO A SYDNEY COURT TODAY WITH A WARNING THEY WON'T PUT UP WITH PERSONAL ATTACKS. HERE'S TOM STEINFORT FROM AUSTRALIA'S CHANNEL NINE. WHEREVER THE CORBYS GO, DRAMA FOLLOWS, AND FRESH FROM BEING BASHED IN BALI LAST MONTH, MERCEDES TODAY FRONTED THE FEDERAL COURT. HOW ARE YOU RECOVERING FROM LAST MONTH'S ATTACK? I DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT, THANKS. WITH HER BROTHER MICK JR AND MOTHER ROSALIE, THIS TIME IT WAS THE CORBYS AS ACCUSERS, NOT ACCUSED. THE FAMILY'S SUING PUBLISHERS ALLAN & UNWIN OVER THE BOOK 'SINS OF THE FATHER', WHICH PAINTS SCHAPELLE'S NOW-DECEASED DAD AS A MEMBER OF AN ORGANISED DRUG-RUNNING SYNDICATE. IN PARTICULAR, THIS CASE SURROUNDS FIVE PHOTOS IN THE BOOK THAT THE CORBYS ALLEGE WERE USED WITHOUT THEIR PERMISSION, WITH CLAIMS THE PUBLISHER SHOWED A TOTAL LACK OF RESPECT FOR THE COPYRIGHT. LAWYERS FOR THE CORBYS REFERRED TO THE FAMILY AS CELEBRITIES, SAYING THEY'D MADE A SIGNIFICANT INCOME FROM THE MEDIA OVER THE YEARS, AND THEY STAND TO MAKE PLENTY MORE FROM THIS CASE AS WELL, SEEKING MORE THAN $100,000 IN DAMAGES. THE CORBYS ARE INDEED BIG BUSINESS. THERE WERE 50,000 OF THESE BOOKS PRINTED IN THE FIRST RUN, SOLD AT $35 EACH, GENERATING NEARLY $2M FROM ONE PUBLICATION ALONE. BUT MERCEDES TELLS NINE NEWS THIS CASE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH MONEY. THE CORBYS SIMPLY WANT TO SEND A MESSAGE THAT THEY WON'T TAKE ATTACKS ON THE FAMILY LYING DOWN. NOW WE GO LIVE TO LONDON, Meet Shelby and Greg. Hello. Hello. Hello. Whoa! They're both looking for better car-tons to get round in. Greg... is an egg. TYRES SQUEAL If only he'd been like Shelby and thought more about safety. CRASH! CRASH! Sorry! If you want to buy a new car, check safety first at our cracking new website. NOW WE GO TO LONDON, WHERE EUROPE CORRESPONDENT GARTH BRAY IS OUTSIDE THE FUNERAL SERVICE AT SAINT PAUL'S CATHEDRAL FOR FORMER BRITISH PRIME MINISTER MARGARET THATCHER. GARTH, WHAT'S HAPPENING NOW? WE CAN HEAR THE SOUND OF ST PAULS' BELLS. THE CASKET IS JUST LEAVING ST PAULS AFTER A ONE-HOUR SERVICE, A SIMPLE SERVICE BELYING THE FACT THAT LONDON WAS CLOSED DOWN. THERE WAS A SMALL CROWD OF PROTESTERS. IT LOOKS LIKE IT WAS WELL-CONTROLLED? SO FAR, SO GOOD. PEOPLE HAVE BEEN RESPECTFUL DURING THE PROCESSION. WITH THE CANNON AND THE CHEERS, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN HARD TO HEAR PROTEST ANYWAY. JUST THE ODD HANDFUL OF DISSENT. THANKS. GARTH BRAY, LIVE IN LONDON. HERE'S RENEE NOW WITH THE WEATHER. HI, EVERYONE. THE LOW CURRENTLY MAKING ITS WAY ACROSS THE NORTH ISLAND SHOULD LIE NEAR THE CHATHAM ISLANDS BY THE END OF TOMORROW.

NOW TO A TERRIFYING ORDEAL FOR A UKRAINAN GRANDMOTHER (97) STUCK ON AN AIR CONDITIONER AFTER TUMBLING OUT OF HER THIRD FLOOR WINDOW. IT TOOK A LONG LADDER AND SEVERAL ATTEMPTS FROM FIREFIGHTERS TO WRESTLE HER BACK INTO HER APARTMENT, SHAKEN BUT REMARKABLY UNHARMED. THAT'S IT FROM US HERE ON TONIGHT. THANKS FOR WATCHING. GOODNIGHT. CAPTIONS BY SAM BRADFORD AND CONOR WHITTEN. CAPTIONS WERE MADE POSSIBLE WITH FUNDING FROM NZ ON AIR.
