GOOD EVENING. A DECENT AMOUNT OF SUNSHINE OVER THE COUNTRY TODAY, ESPECIALLY OVER THE NORTH ISLAND AND EAST OF THE SOUTH ISLAND, BUT COLD AIR IS NOW PUSHING UP OVER THE SOUTH ISLAND. IT'S SET TO GET EVEN COLDER TOMORROW. LATER IN THE NEWS HOUR, I'LL TELL YOU WHERE THERE COULD BE HAIL, ICY WINDS, AND SNOW TO NEAR SEA LEVEL. RIGHT NOW, IT'S SIX O'CLOCK. DUE TO THE LIVE NATURE OF TONIGHT, WE APOLOGISE FOR THE LACK OF CAPTIONS FOR SOME ITEMS. A BLOODY TRAIL OF HORROR ` HEAR FROM THE TRACTOR DRIVER WHO HELPED A MUM DRAGGED AT HIGH SPEED BEHIND A CAR. I WAS BASICALLY SCREAMING. I WAS PETRIFIED MATE. IT WAS THE UGLIEST THING I'VE EVER SEEN. IS HE OUT OF TUNE? DAVID SHEARER AND THE GREENS HAVE MADE A POWER PLAY. WHAT DO VOTERS THINK IN OUR LATEST POLL. THE THREAT OF ARREST AT THE AIRPORT ` WE'VE SIGNS EXPAT NEW ZEALANDERS WITH STUDENT DEBT ARE TAKING NOTE. A MAN CHARGED WITH KIDNAPPING WILL APPEAR IN COURT TOMORROW AFTER WHAT POLICE SAY IS ONE OF THE MOST HORRIFIC CASES THEY'VE EVER SEEN. MOTORISTS WITNESSED A MOTHER OF THREE BEING DRAGGED ALMOST 2KM BEHIND A CAR ON STATE HIGHWAY 1 IN WAIKATO. THIS FROM KATE LYNCH. A TRAIL OF BLOOD A KILOMETRE LONG THE ONLY REMNANT OF A HORRIFIC SCENE BERNIE TRUMPER WILL NEVER FORGET. IT WAS JUST FLOPPING AROUND. IT JUST LOOKED LIKE A DUMMY BEING DRAGGED BEHIND THE CAR. BUT IT WASN'T A DOLL OR A DUMMY. IT WAS ANA ERIEPA (37). I WAS THINKING HOW THE HELL CAN I STOP THIS CAR. I WAS HELPLESS. I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. I WAS BASICALLY SCREAMING. I WAS PETRIFIED. IT WAS THE UGLIEST THING I'VE EVER SEEN. THE DRAMA BEGAN JUST AFTER 1.40 YESTERDAY WHEN A GREEN SUBARU WAS SPOTTED DRIVING ERRATICALLY NORTH OF TOKOROA ON STATE HIGHWAY 1. MINUTES LATER AT LICHFIELD, MOTORISTS WATCHED IN HORROR AS MS ERIEPA TRIED TO ESCAPE FROM THE BOOT, BUT HER LEG GOT SNAGGED, AND SHE WAS DRAGGED ALMOST 2KM DOWN THE ROAD. SHE COME DISLODGED FROM THE VEHICLE, AND SHE SKATED ON HER BACK A FURTHER 50M. MS ERIEPA TUMBLED INTO THE PATH OF MR TRUMPER'S TRACTOR. HE USED THE MACHINE TO SHIELD HER FROM ONCOMING TRAFFIC UNTIL MEDICS ARRIVED. I WAS SO PETRIFIED THAT SOMEONE WAS GOING TO RUN OVER HER. AT THE END OF THE DAY SHE WAS ROLLING DOWN THE ROAD LIKE A DUMMY, AND I COULD JUST SEE SOMEONE RUNNING OVER HER AND AT THAT STAGE FINISHING HER OFF, REALLY. MIRACULOUSLY SHE SURVIVED AND IS RECOVERING IN WAIKATO HOSPITAL. SHE'S CLEARLY GOING TO HAVE A LENGTHY HOSPITAL STAY AND NUMEROUS OPERATIONS AND GRAFTINGS. I UNDERSTAND THAT SHE IS NOW CONSCIOUS, AND WE'RE HOPING TO BE ABLE TO TALK TO HER IN THE NEXT DAY OR TWO. POLICE FOUND THE CAR AND HER ALLEGED KIDNAPPER NEAR PUTARURU. ALL WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO ESTABLISH IS THAT THEY DID KNOW EACH OTHER. IT DOESN'T APPEAR AS THOUGH THEY WERE IN A DOMESTIC RELATIONSHIP. THE MAN (26) WILL APPEAR IN THE ROTORUA DISTRICT COURT TOMORROW MORNING. KATE LYNCH, ONE NEWS. A WOMAN WHO WORKED FOR THE LATE PAREKURA HOROMIA WHEN HE WAS MAORI AFFAIRS MINISTER IS NOW IN LINE TO BECOME AN MP. JUST OVER AN HOUR AGO, MEKA WHAITIRI WAS PICKED AS LABOUR'S CANDIDATE FOR NEXT MONTH'S IKAROA-RAWHITI BY-ELECTION. SARAH BATLEY WITH THE DETAILS. MEKA WHAITIRI HAS GONE FROM BEING A FREEZING WORKER TO HEADING ONE OF THE COUNTRY'S LARGEST IWI. NEXT STOP COULD BE THE BEEHIVE. THERE'S A BIG SWING BACK TO THE LABOUR PARTY. I'M ENCOURAGED BY THAT, AND ALL I WANNA DO IS REPRESENT THE ISSUES THAT MATTER TO OUR PEOPLE HERE IN IKAROA-RAWHITI. THERE WAS WIDESPREAD DISCUSSION ABOUT THE SIX CANDIDATES TO SUCCEED PAREKURA HOROMIA. AS WELL AS TODAY'S MEETING IN TARADALE, THE PARTY ALSO CONSULTED MEMBERS IN LOWER HUTT AND TOLAGA BAY THIS WEEKEND. THE GREEN PARTY'S ALSO NAMED ITS CANDIDATE ` MOTHER OF SIX AND FAMILY VIOLENCE CAMPAIGNER MARAMA DAVIDSON. I WILL BE A STRONG, PARTICULAR WAHINE VOICE, A WOMEN'S PERSPECTIVE. AND THAT IS OFTEN MISSED, OUR REPRESENTATION IN GOVERNMENT LACKS WHEN IT COMES TO MAORI WOMEN. WHILE LABOUR AND THE GREENS FINALISED THEIR CANDIDATES, REPRESENTATIVES FROM OTHER PARTIES WERE ALREADY OUT CAMPAIGNING. THE MAORI PARTY'S NAI RAIHANIA SAYS IT'S NOT A GIVEN LABOUR WILL WIN THE SEAT AGAIN. THIS WAS KNOWN AS THE PAREKURA SEAT, NOT SO MUCH THE PARTY SUPPORTING HIM. SO IT'S ABOUT THE PERSON. MANA'S TE HAMUA NIKORA WAS IN HASTINGS, NOT ONLY SEEKING BUT ALSO URGING VOTERS TO SWITCH TO THE MAORI ROLL. THERE'S 25,000 MAORI IN THE ELECTORATE THAT ARE ON THE GENERAL ROLL.AND THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT, BUT IF YOU WANT TO HAVE A VOICE IN THE MAORI ELECTORATE, YOU NEED TO BE ON THE MAORI ROLL. WITH POLLING NIGHT JUST OVER A MONTH AWAY, THE RACE TO SECURE SUPPORT IS SET TO SPEED UP. SARAH BATLEY, ONE NEWS. HONE HARAWIRA COULD BRING A MANA PARTY PAL INTO PARLIAMENT IN OUR LATEST ONE NEWS`COLMAR BRUNTON POLL. BUT JOHN KEY'S NATIONAL WOULD ALSO RULE ALONE AS SUPPORT SLIPS FOR HIS MAJOR RIVALS. WITH MORE, LET'S GO TO DEPUTY POLITICAL EDITOR JESSICA MUTCH. RESULTS SHOW A CLEAR MAJORITY FOR NATIONAL. LAST MONTH SUGGESTED GREENS AND LABOUR COULD FORM A GOVERNMENT. LABOUR AND THE GREENS HAVE BEEN PRESENTING THEMSELVES AS AN ALTERNATIVE GOVERNMENT. THEY'RE BIDDING TO BE THE POWER PLAYERS NEXT ELECTION. BUT THE LATEST FIGURES SHOW THE TUNE'S CHANGED SINCE OUR LAST POLL AND LABOUR'S GAINS WERE ONLY TEMPORARY. NATIONAL COULD GOVERN ALONE, AND WOULDN'T NEED TO STITCH UP A COALITION DEAL. NATIONAL'S JUMPED SIX AND IS SITTING PRETTY ON 49. LABOUR'S DROPPED THREE POINTS, NOW AT 33. THE GREENS HAVE LOST A BIG CHUNK OF SUPPORT, NOW IN SINGLE DIGITS, WHILE NZ FIRST PICKED UP A POINT. COLIN CRAIG'S CONSERVATIVE PARTY, THE MAORI PARTY, AND UNITED FUTURE ALL ALL HOLDING STEADY BUT NOT GETTING MUCH TRACTION. AND MANA'S DOING WELL, SO WELL IN FACT HONE HARAWIRA WILL BE ABLE TO BRING A FRIEND WITH HIM TO PARLIAMENT. WITH THESE NUMBERS, NATIONAL COULD GOVERN ALL BY ITSELF. SO A SEAT EACH FROM ACT AND UNITED FUTURE AS A BONUS AND IT WOULDN'T NEED THE THREE SEATS FROM THE MAORI PARTY. LABOUR AND THE GREENS TOGETHER WOULD ONLY HAVE 53, AND EVEN WITH HONE HARAWIRA AND HIS NUMBER TWO ANNETTE SYKES IT WOULDN'T BE ENOUGH. THAT'S ASSUMING ALL ELECTORATE SEATS ARE HELD. NATIONAL'S DISHED OUT SOME BIG POLICIES IN THE PAST FEW WEEKS. BILL ENGLISH SERVED UP HIS BUDGET,... I NOW DECLARE MIGHTY RIVER POWER FLOATED. ...AND HE'S FINALLY GOT MIGHTY RIVER POWER OVER THE LINE. THE LEADER OF THE OPPOSITION'S BEEN OUT AND ABOUT TOO, DAVID, YES... SHEARER. GOOD GIRL, WELL DONE. BUT HE'S NOT THE PRIME MINISTER, THOUGH HE'S GUNNING FOR THE JOB. WHEN IT COMES TO PREFERRED PRIME MINISTER, JOHN KEY GAINED THREE POINTS, NOW SITTING AT 42%. DAVID SHEARER LOST THREE, AND IS ON 12%. HE'S BEEN STUCK ON 15% FOR THE LAST THREE POLLS, AND HASN'T GOT THE RECIPE QUITE RIGHT. BABE, I'M COMING HOME. NATIONAL HAS BEEN DISTRACTED BY THE AARON GILMORE SAGA, BUT HIS BEHAVIOUR DOESN'T SEEM TO HAVE DAMAGED HIS FORMER PARTY. SO, JESSICA, IT LOOKS LIKE THE NO-SURPRISES BUDGET'S PROVED A WINNER FOR THE GOVERNMENT? BUDGET TRADITIONALLY GIVES GOVERNMENT OXYGEN. NOT SURPRISING TO HAVE A BOOST JUST A FEW DAYS AFTER. ALSO AT PLAY LABOUR, GREENS CONNECTION. GREEN INFLUENCE ISN'T SITTING WELL WITH ALL THE MIDDLE LABOUR SUPPORTERS PARTICULARLY AROUND JOINT ENERGY BOTH ADMITTED TO THEY ME HAVE TO DO A BETTER JOB OF SELLING THAT. ANNOUNCEMENTS ARE SO IMPORTANT. THE LEAD-UP TO NEXT YEAR'S BUDGET WILL BE A CONSTANT BATTLE ` POLLS TOING AND FROING. DEPUTY POLITICAL EDITOR, JESSICA MUTCH. THE THREAT OF ARREST IS ALREADY SPURRING ON EXPAT NZERS TO PAY BACK THEIR STUDENT LOANS. NUMBERS OBTAINED BY ONE NEWS SHOW THERE'S BEEN A RUSH OF PEOPLE CONTACTING INLAND REVENUE IN THE WEEK AND A HALF SINCE THE BUDGET. GEORGINA BALL WITH THAT STORY. BORDER PATROL IN ACTION HAS PROVED POPULAR ENTERTAINMENT. A BIZARRE CARGO FOR A FOUR-HOUR PASSENGER FLIGHT. BUT THE THOUGHT OF BEING PART OF THE DRAMA THEMSELVES APPEARS TO BE SOMETHING EXPAT STUDENT LOAN BORROWERS ARE DESPERATE TO AVOID. I WOULD EXPECT THAT WITH STUDENTS BEING THREATENED WITH ARREST AT THE BORDER, THAT YOU'D WANT TO KNOW WHERE YOU STAND WITH YOUR LOAN. THIS MONTH THE GOVERNMENT UNVEILED NEW PLANS TO ARREST THE WORST OFFENDERS AT THE BORDER. NUMBERS GIVEN TO ONE NEWS REVEAL A SUDDEN SPIKE IN CALLS TO THE INLAND REVENUE DEPARTMENT FOLLOWING THE ANNOUNCEMENT FROM OVERSEAS RESIDENTS NOW WANTING TO PAY UP. IT'S SOMETHING LIKE THIS THAT ACTUALLY JOLTS THEM INTO ACTION. AND WITH THOSE LIVING ABROAD ACCOUNTING FOR MORE THAN 80% OF THE $520M OF DEBT IN DEFAULT,... ...IT'S GOOD NEWS, BUT WE'VE STILL GOT A LONG WAY TO GO. BUT ONE NEWS HAS DISCOVERED THERE'S A LONG WAY TO GO ON THE HOME FRONT TOO. THE LATEST IRD DATA SHOWS THAT MORE THAN 20% OF ALL BORROWERS HAVE MADE ABSOLUTELY NO PAYMENTS FIVE YEARS AFTER THEY'VE FINISHED THEIR STUDIES. JUST A YEAR AFTER FINISHING, THAT NUMBER WHO HADN'T PAID BACK A CENT WAS ALMOST 40%. AND AS OF JUNE LAST YEAR NEARLY 700 LOANS HAD BEEN WRITTEN OFF COMPLETELY DUE TO BANKRUPTCY. AND THE IRD'S ALREADY TAKING LEGAL ACTION AGAINST MORE THAN A HUNDRED OVERSEAS-BASED BORROWERS AND COULD FORCE THEM TO PAY BACK THEIR ENTIRE LOANS IN ONE GO. DEFAULTING BORROWERS HEADING HOME HAVE UNTIL NEXT APRIL TO SORT OUT THEIR ARREARS BEFORE THE NEW ARREST SYSTEM KICKS IN. GEORGINA BALL, ONE NEWS. NOW TO THE PROBLEM OF COPING WITH THE EVER-INCREASING NUMBER OF PEOPLE LIVING IN AUCKLAND. LAST NIGHT WE LOOKED AT THE PLAN TO BUILD UP. TONIGHT, WE FOCUS ON SPREADING OUT. NICOLE BREMNER WITH HOW A PROJECTED 2.5M PEOPLE COULD BE HOUSED IN OUR BIGGEST CITY BY 2040. BOWLS ASIDE, MUCH OF THE TALK AT OREWA'S GREEN THESE DAYS IS ABOUT WHAT THE COUNCIL'S UNITARY PLAN MEANS FOR THE PLAYERS. I DON'T WANT TO SEE IT ANOTHER GOLD COAST. YOU'VE GOT TO BE PROGRESSIVE, OTHERWISE PLACES LIKE ` EVEN THE BOWLING CLUB WOULD DIE. THEY'RE HAPPY ABOUT MORE PEOPLE SHARING THEIR SLICE OF COASTAL PARADISE, AND THERE'S PLENTY OF NEW HOMES. ONE URBAN PLANNER SAYS DEVELOPING MORE LAND AWAY FROM THE CBD IS A SENSIBLE ALTERNATIVE TO THE COUNCIL'S HIGH-DENSITY PLAN. WE HAVE TO EXPAND NORTH AND SOUTH. EXPANDING UPWARDS WILL PUT A LOT OF PRESSURE ON AGEING INFRASTRUCTURE, IT WILL BE VERY EXPENSIVE, AND OF COURSE IT'S NOT WHAT AUCKLANDERS WANT. THE GOVERNMENT ALSO MAINTAINS THERE'S ROOM FOR SOME OUTWARD SPREAD, BUT THE MAYOR HAS NO TIME FOR URBAN SPRAWL. WE HAVE GOT BEST ANALYSIS, BOTH INTERNALLY AND EXTERNALLY FROM THE INTERNATIONAL GLOBAL MARKETPLACE, WHO SAY TO US, 'YOU'VE GOT YOUR PLAN RIGHT. DRIVE IT THROUGH.' A RELATIVELY SMALL GROUP OF PEOPLE ARE TELLING A VERY LARGE GROUP OF PEOPLE HOW THEY SHOULD LIVE, OR AT LEAST LIMITING THEIR OPPORTUNITIES. ANOTHER LONG-TIME CAMPAIGNER SAYS SPREADING AUCKLAND OUT IS POSSIBLE THROUGH A RAPID RAIL LINE BUILT ALONG STATE HIGHWAY ONE. DAVID THORNTON SAYS IT WOULD GIVE SPEEDY ACCESS TO OUTLYING SUBURBS AND TOWNS, AND VIABLE SATELLITE CITIES COULD BE CREATED. STATE HIGHWAY ONE IS THE SPINE ALONG WHICH AUCKLAND HAS DEVELOPED ANYWAY. IT'S ALREADY THERE, AND IT'S A LOGICAL STRIP TO FOLLOW, NORTH TO SOUTH. SUPPORTERS OF THE CASE FOR A RAIL LINE THAT WOULD RUN ALONG LAND LIKE THIS SAY IT GOES BEYOND POLITICS AND SUBSTANTIAL COST. THEY SAY IT'S ABOUT GIVING AUCKLANDERS A REAL CHOICE ABOUT WHERE AND HOW THEY LIVE. THEY POINT TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF POKENO, 60KM SOUTH OF AUCKLAND, AS A CONCEPT THAT COULD EASE PRESSURE ON THE CROWDED CITY. HOMES ARE GOING UP, AND A MILK PROCESSING PLANT THAT'S YET TO BE BUILT WILL PROVIDE LOCAL JOBS. IN MY MIND, WE DON'T KNOW ENOUGH ABOUT THE FUTURE TO BE ABLE TO LOCK IT DOWN IN THE WAY THAT THE UNITARY PLAN DOES. ALL OF THE GLOBAL DATA SUGGESTS THAT THE WAY THAT WE'RE PROPOSING TO GO FORWARD IS THE BEST WAY, BEST PRACTICE, AND BEST IN TERMS OF THE OUTCOMES FOR OUR CITY. BACK AT THE CLUB, THEY QUITE LIKE THE IDEA OF TAKING A TRAIN INSTEAD OF A CAR. I IMAGINE THAT IT WOULD BE GOOD, BUT FINANCIALLY, I DON'T KNOW THAT IT WOULD BE VIABLE. YOU'RE GONNA SPEND MILLIONS ON MOTORWAYS WHERE THE TRAIN LINE WOULD TAKE A LOT OF THOSE PEOPLE OFF THE MOTORWAY. AND WHILE THEY'RE WAITING TO SEE THE ROLLOUT OF THE FINAL PLAN, THEY WANT MORE TALK ABOUT ALL OPTIONS FOR AUCKLAND'S FUTURE. NICOLE BREMNER, ONE NEWS. YOU CAN SEE BOTH NICOLE'S STORIES AGAIN ON ONE.CO.NZ, WHERE YOU CAN ALSO GIVE US FEEDBACK ON THE PLAN YOU PREFER. COMING UP NEXT ON ONE NEWS ` THE POLICE MINISTER SAYS SORRY, BUT IS IT ENOUGH, AND WILL THERE BE ANY COMPENSATION FOR THOSE CAUGHT IN THE TERROR RAIDS? MORE ARRESTS FOR THE MURDER OF DRUMMER RIGBY AS A FRIEND OF THE ACCUSED CLAIMS THE SECRET SERVICE TRIED TO RECRUIT HIM. AND WE HEAD INTO AN AMERICAN SCHOOL WHERE SEEING DOUBLE HAS BECOME A WORLD RECORD. TINKLING MUSIC Have you noticed Bluetooth on your phone and wondered what it can do for you? The Bluetooth function lets your smartphone share information with other devices that are close by. For instance, this portable speaker is Bluetooth-capable. I can get my smartphone to play music through it without plugging it in at all. I just turn on Bluetooth, and it recognises the speaker. I select it, and they automatically pair up. Now when I play music, it comes out of the speaker. Now when I play music, it comes out of the speaker. SOFT MUSIC PLAYS That's pretty cool. Bluetooth is also brilliant for sharing files. Say you're with a friend, and you want to give them a picture that's on your smartphone. Well, you just pair your phones over Bluetooth, and then you can send the photo to your mate for free. Try Bluetooth out for yourself and get step-by-step instructions at techinasec.co.nz THE POLICE MINISTER HAS GIVEN THE STRONGEST APOLOGY YET FOR POLICE ACTING UNLAWFULLY IN THE RUATOKI RAIDS. SPEAKING ON TVNZ'S Q & A PROGRAMME, ANNE TOLLEY SAID SHE WAS SORRY BUT DIDN'T OFFER ANY COMPENSATION. SIMON BRADWELL REPORTS. SIX YEARS AFTER THE SO-CALLED TERROR RAIDS, THIS IS THE MOMENT THE GOVERNMENT APOLOGISED ` SORT OF. SO AS POLICE MINISTER, YOU ARE OFFERING AN APOLOGY? WELL, I'M STANDING BESIDE THE COMMISSIONER, SAYING HE'S APOLOGISING, AND I'M VERY SORRY TOO. LAST WEEK THE INDEPENDENT POLICE CONDUCT AUTHORITY FOUND POLICE UNLAWFULLY SET UP ROADBLOCKS IN THE RUATOKI RAIDS, AND PEOPLE WERE ILLEGALLY SEARCHED AND DETAINED. I'M VERY SORRY THAT THE POLICE DID EXCEED THEIR AUTHORITY WITH THE ROADBLOCKS AND SOME OF THE SEARCH WARRANTS. IT'S THE FURTHEST A GOVERNMENT MINISTER HAS GONE SINCE THE REPORT'S RELEASE, BUT CRITICS SAY IT SHOULD COME FROM THE PRIME MINISTER. THIS PARTICULAR MATTER IS PROBABLY THE MOST SERIOUS INFRINGEMENT OF DEMOCRATIC RIGHTS AT LEAST IN OUR GENERATION. THE GOVERNMENT'S STAYING MUM ON COMPENSATION FOR THOSE AFFECTED, WHILE POLICE SAY ANY CLAIMS THEY GET WILL BE TREATED ON A CASE-BY-CASE BASIS. AND THERE IS PRECEDENT FOR COMPENSATION BEING PAID IN A SIMILAR CASE. IN 1993, JUDGES HERE AT THE COURT OF APPEAL RULED THAT POLICE HAD UNLAWFULLY SEARCHED A WELLINGTON WOMAN'S HOME AND POLICE PAID AN UNDISCLOSED SUM IN COMPENSATION. SIX YEARS LATER, POLICE PAID OUT $151,000 TO STUDENTS ALLEGEDLY ASSAULTED AND DETAINED DURING A PROTEST AT PARLIAMENT. THERE SHOULD BE A KOHA OF, AT LEAST I WOULD SAY, A SUBSTANTIAL SUM. COMPENSATION CLAIMS FROM THE RAIDS ARE LIKELY TO LAND WITH POLICE IN THE NEXT MONTH. SIMON BRADWELL, ONE NEWS. THREE MORE PEOPLE HAVE BEEN ARRESTED IN LONDON BY POLICE INVESTIGATING THE KILLING OF A BRITISH SOLDIER. ANTI-TERRORISM OFFICERS USED TASERS AS THEY TOOK THE MEN INTO CUSTODY ON SUSPICION OF CONSPIRACY TO COMMIT MURDER. THE BBC'S JUNE KELLY REPORTS. THERE HAVE BEEN THREE MORE MEN ARRESTED BY COUNTER-TERRORISM DETECTIVE BACKED UP BY ARMED OFFICERS. POLICE HAD TO USE A TASER ON TWO OF THE MEN. IT WAS REALLY LOUD. I THOUGHT IT WAS A BOMB. THAT'S HOW LOUD IT WAS. THREE DAYS AFTER DRUMMER LEE RIGBY'S SAVAGE DEATH, A TOTAL OF SIX PEOPLE ARE NOW IN CUSTODY. THOSE ARRESTED TONIGHT ARE BEING HELD ON SUSPICION OF CONSPIRACY TO COMMIT MURDER. THE TWO MAIN SUSPECTS IN THIS CASE WHO WERE SHOT BY POLICE ARE STILL BEING TREATED IN HOSPITAL. TONIGHT IT'S EMERGED THAT DOWNING STREET PLANS TO RESPOND DIRECTLY TO WHAT HAPPENED HERE LAST WEDNESDAY. THE PRIME MINISTER IS SETTING UP A NEW TASK FORCE TO TACKLE EXTREMISM AND RADICALISATION. THE BBC'S NEWSNIGHT PROGRAMME CARRIED A CLAIM THAT THE SECURITY SERVICE MI5 TRIED UNSUCCESSFULLY TO DE-RADICALISE ONE OF THE WOOLWICH SUSPECTS BY ATTEMPTING TO RECRUIT HIM. THE CLAIM CAME FROM A FRIEND OF MICHAEL ADEBOLAJO. HE MENTIONED THAT THEY WANT, INITIALLY THEY WANTED TO ASK HIM WHETHER HE KNEW CERTAIN INDIVIDUALS, BASICALLY. THAT WAS AN INITIAL ISSUE, BUT AFTER HE SAID HE DIDN'T KNOW THESE INDIVIDUALS, THEY ASKED HIM WHETHER HE WOULD BE INTERESTED IN WORKING FOR THEM. HE WAS EXPLICIT IN THAT HE REFUSED TO WORK FOR THEM. SHORTLY AFTER THE RECORDING, THE INTERVIEWEE WAS ARRESTED AT THE BBC. HIS CLAIM ABOUT MI5 IS UNCORROBORATED. HE ALSO MAINTAINED MICHAEL ADEBOLAJO HAD BEEN ARRESTED IN KENYA. TONIGHT THIS WAS DENIED BY THE KENYAN GOVERNMENT. IN WOOLWICH, PEOPLE ARE CONTINUING TO LAY FLOWERS AT THE SPOT WHERE LEE RIGBY'S LIFE WAS TAKEN. FLOWERS TOO AT THE BARRACKS WHERE HE WAS BASED. WHILE HIS FAMILY GRIEVE, DRUMMER RIGBY IS IN THE THOUGHTS OF THOSE WHO KNEW HIM AND MANY WHO DID NOT. AUTHORITIES IN FRANCE ARE INVESTIGATING WHETHER THE STABBING OF A SOLDIER ON THE OUTSKIRTS OF PARIS WAS A COPYCAT ATTACK. THE 23-YEAR-OLD WAS PATROLLING A SHOPPING PRECINCT WHEN HE WAS ATTACKED FROM BEHIND AND STABBED IN THE THROAT. HIS INJURIES AREN'T LIFE-THREATENING. FRENCH PRESIDENT FRANCOIS HOLLANDE HAS WARNED AGAINST JUMPING TO CONCLUSIONS, AS THE ATTACKER'S IDENTITY IS STILL UNKNOWN. THE YOUNG VICTIMS OF A SCHOOL BUS FIRE IN PAKISTAN HAVE BEEN LAID TO REST. 16 CHILDREN AND A TEACHER DIED WHEN THEIR MINIBUS BURST INTO FLAMES. A LEAKING GAS TANK HAS BEEN BLAMED FOR THE EXPLOSION. AUTHORITIES ARE TRYING TO TRACK DOWN THE BUS DRIVER, WHO FLED THE SCENE OF THE ACCIDENT. TEXAS OFFICIALS ARE WARNING OF CONTINUED LIFE-THREATENING CONDITIONS AFTER TORRENTIAL RAINS AND FLASH FLOODING KILLED ONE AND LEFT HUNDREDS STRANDED. A WOMAN (29) WAS KILLED AFTER TRYING TO GET OUT OF HER CAR AS IT WAS SWEPT AWAY. FLOOD WATERS HAVE SUBMERGED MUCH OF SAN ANTONIO AFTER 25CM OF RAIN FELL IN LESS THAN 24 HOURS. THOUSANDS OF WELL-WISHERS HAVE JOINED VICTIMS OF THE BOSTON BOMBINGS TO FINALLY COMPLETE THE LAST STRETCH OF THE MARATHON ROUTE. FIVE WEEKS AFTER TWIN BOMBINGS FORCED THE RACE TO BE ABANDONED, THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE RACED THE LAST 1.6KM. I FEEL REALLY GOOD. I MADE IT ALL THE WAY, AND IT WAS A NICE EXPERIENCE SO I'M GRATEFUL THAT WE WERE GIVEN THAT CHANCE. THE EXPLOSIONS KILLED THREE PEOPLE AND WOUNDED MORE THAN 260. WEATHER TIME NOW AND SOME FINE WEATHER TODAY, BUT THAT'S SET TO CHANGE, KAREN? YES, PLENTY OF SUNSHINE OVER THE NORTH ISLAND TODAY. THIS IS NAPIER LOOKING VERY NICE.

THE HIGH AUSTRALIAN DOLLAR AND CHEAPER OPTIONS HAVE ALL HURT THE INDUSTRY, AND THERE'S VERY LITTLE RELIEF ON THE HORIZON. AUSTRALIA CORRESPONDENT STEVE MARSHALL REPORTS. AS FORD'S WHEELS FELL OFF, HOLDEN'S BOSS HIT THE ROAD IN A SALES DRIVE SHOWCASING THE LATEST COMMODORE. BUT HE, TOO, IS CALLING FOR MORE GOVERNMENT ASSISTANCE IF HOLDEN IS TO AVOID FOLLOWING ITS RIVAL OFF THE CLIFF. $1.8BN IN INVESTMENT BY THE TAXPAYERS OVER A 10, 12-YEAR PERIOD; $32.7BN IN ECONOMIC ACTIVITY GENERATED BY HOLDEN DOING THINGS IN THIS COUNTRY. I THINK IT'S A PRETTY GOOD IDEA THAT WE CONTINUE TO DO THOSE THINGS. DESPITE THE BILLION-DOLLAR GOVERNMENT HANDOUT, LATEST FINANCIAL REPORTS SHOW A COMBINED $350M LOSS FOR AUSTRALIA'S THREE LOCAL CAR-MAKERS, FORD, HOLDEN AND TOYOTA. AUSTRALIA'S HIGH PRODUCTION COSTS SUGGEST IT COULD BE THE END OF THE ROAD FOR THE ENTIRE INDUSTRY. IT'S DIFFICULT TO SEE, AT THIS PARTICULAR POINT, ANY OF THEM SURVIVING. HOLDEN RECENTLY ANNOUNCED 400 JOB CUTS, AND SAYS IT'S COMMITTED TO MAKING CARS IN AUSTRALIA UNTIL 2022. YOU KNOW, ONE THING ABOUT HOLDEN, AND TOYOTA FOR THAT MATTER, IS THAT BOTH COMPANIES SELL THOUSANDS MORE VEHICLES THAN FORD, WHICH HAS SUFFERED A HUGE DECLINE IN DEMAND. BOTH HOLDEN AND TOYOTA ALSO HAVE SUPERIOR EXPORT STRATEGIES THAN FORD. THES DAYS, YOU HAVE TO INTEGRATE YOURSELF INTO WHAT ARE CALLED GLOBAL VALUE CHAINS. WHETHER YOU'RE PRODUCING COMPONENTS, OR FULLY ASSEMBLED VEHICLES AS PART OF A WORLD CAR, THAT'S THE WAY THE FORWARD, AND THAT'S WHAT, UNFORTUNATELY, FORD HAVEN'T DONE. THOUSANDS OF WORKERS ARE RELYING ON AUSTRALIA'S TWO REMAINING CAR MAKERS TO HAVE A BIT LEFT IN THE TANK. STEVE MARSHALL, ONE NEWS, SYDNEY. A NZ FRIGATE WILL BECOME THE FIRST NAVAL VESSEL IN 30 YEARS TO DOCK AT A US NAVY PORT WHEN IT VISITS GUAM IN THE WESTERN PACIFIC NEXT WEEK. FOREIGN AFFAIRS MINISTER MURRAY McCULLY SAYS IT'S PROOF OF A CLOSENING RELATIONSHIP WITH THE US. BUT THAT WON'T AFFECT OUT NUCLEAR-FREE POLICY. I THINK IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE'RE KNOWN FOR, AND THE GOVERNMENT THAT I'M A PART OF MADE IT CLEAR THAT WE WOULDN'T CHANGE IT, THAT WE WOULD REGARD IT AS AN IMPORTANT PART OF OUR LEGACY. HE ALSO SAYS OUR RELATION WITH CHINA REMAINS UNALTERED AND ANY DISPUTES BETWEEN THE TWO SUPER POWERS WILL BE TREATED WITH RESPECT. IN A WEEK WHERE MORE CHRISTCHURCH SCHOOLS WILL FIND OUT THEIR FATE, A MERGER BETWEEN TWO OF THE COUNTRY'S AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITIES IS ALSO BEING TALKED UP. MASSEY VICE CHANCELLOR AND FORMER EDUCATION MINISTER STEVE MAHAREY TOLD TVNZ'S Q+A THIS MORNING HE'S OFTEN QUESTIONED ABOUT THE POSSIBILITY OF JOINING WITH LINCOLN. THE ANSWER IS OF COURSE YES IF IT'S USEFUL. BUT IF IT'S NOT, THEN WE'VE GOT OTHER THINGS TO DO, SO THE PROPOSITION SITS ON THE TABLE AND IT REALLY DEPENDS ON WHAT LINCOLN WANTS TO DO. LINCOLN UNIVERSITY WAS UNAVAILABLE FOR COMMENT. HOWEVER, MR MAHAREY BELIEVES BOTH UNIVERSITIES WANT TO REMAIN INDEPENDENT AS LONG AS IT'S VIABLE TO DO SO. NOW HERE'S A SIZEABLE PROBLEM FOR TEACHERS TRYING TO REMEMBER STUDENTS' NAMES. IT'S A SCHOOL IN AMERICA WITH ONE FOR THE RECORD BOOKS. ABC'S DAN HARRIS HAS THE DETAILS. THERE ARE THE BECKETTS, THE THOMASES THE PIGGETTS, THE RAMSAYS, THE HOLMBERGS, THE MERCS. IN SUM, AN ASTONISHING 24 SETS OF TWINS ALL IN THE 5TH GRADE IN THE HIGHCREST MIDDLE SCHOOL IN WILMETTE, ILLINOIS. ALL: HELLO, WORLD NEWS. AS YOU MAY HAVE NOTICED, MOST OF THESE TWINS ARE FRATERNAL. THERE ARE TWO SETS OF IDENTICAL TWINS, THOUGH ` THE VIVIANS AND THE AWATRAMANIS. BUT THIS STORY REALLY BEGINS WITH THESE TWINS, RYAN AND LUKE NOVOSEL, WHO WERE THUMBING THROUGH THE GUINNESS BOOK OF WORLD RECORDS A FEW MONTHS AGO AND SAW THAT THE CURRENT RECORD FOR MOST TWINS IN A SINGLE CLASS IS HELD BY A HIGH SCHOOL IN IOWA - 16. WOW, I THINK WE MIGHT HAVE A WORLD RECORD. THE NOVOSELS CALLED GUINNESS WHO HAVE NOW ASKED FOR OFFICIAL DOCUMENTATION, INCLUDING BIRTH CERTIFICATES AND A GROUP PICTURE. IT WAS JUST` IT WAS PURE EXCITEMENT. WHAT KID DOESN'T WANT TO BE IN THE GUINNESS BOOK OF WORLD RECORDS? TWINS HAVE LONG BEEN THE SOURCE OF FASCINATION. THERE IS NO SCIENCE TO SUGGEST THAT TWINS HAVE ESP OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT BUT RESEARCH DOES CONFIRM THEY HAVE POWERFUL BONDS. IT'S NICE TO KNOW THAT THERE'S SOMEONE OUT THERE WHO IS EXACTLY LIKE YOU. IN THE PAST 30 YEARS, THERE'S BEEN A 70% INCREASE IN TWINS, DRIVEN BY FERTILITY TREATMENTS WHICH INCREASE THE ODDS OF MULTIPLE BIRTHS. I THINK IT'S REALLY COOL THAT THERE'S SO MANY TWINS. DOCTORS ARE GETTING BETTER NOW AT ENSURING SINGLE PREGNANCIES, SO THE TWIN RATE IS LIKELY TO DROP, WHICH MEANS THE KIDS HERE AT HIGHCREST MIDDLE SCHOOL COULD HOLD THE WORLD RECORD FOR A LONG TIME. EXPERTS TELL US MULTIPLE BIRTHS ARE ALSO DECREASING IN NZ AS FERTILITY TREATMENTS BECOME MORE REFINED.

IN-FORM ALL BLACK BEN SMITH WAS HUGELY MISSED WHEN FORCED OFF WITH A HEAD KNOCK IN THE BOTTOM-OF-THE-TABLE CLASH AGAINST THE WESTERN FORCE LAST NIGHT. LOVE TO SEE HIM PLAYING SOME INTERNATIONAL RUGBY COME JUNE. HALFBACK AARON SMITH WAS SENT TO FULLBACK, WHILE RETURNING ALL BLACK TEAM-MATE MA'A NONU COULD HAVE BEEN A HERO. HE CAN SEE THE POST THERE. CAN HE GET IT DOWN AGAINST THE POST...? NO. HOSEA GEAR COULDN'T CONTROL THE BALL EITHER, SMITH RETURNED FROM HIS CONCUSSION TEST, ONLY TO BE IGNORED. HAD SMITH ON THE OUTSIDE!

THIS LAST-MINUTE FUMBLE SUMS UP THEIR SEASON. I THINK THE COACH CAME UP AFTERWARDS AND SAID IF WE WON LOTTO WE'D LOSE THE TICKET. THAT'S WHERE WE'RE AT. LAST, BY SIX POINTS. IT'S NOT ALL BAD. IF YOU HAVE A TEAM PLAYING LIKE WE ARE AT THE MOMENT AND STILL MAKE THE ALL BLACK CAMP, PRETTY HAPPY ABOUT THAT. AND SO THEY SHOULD BE. STEVEN STUART, ONE NEWS.

THEN SOME OF HIS TEAM-MATES CAME TO THE PARTY. DOWN THE BLINDSIDE, SLIPPING A COUPLE OF TACKLES. AWAY HE GOES. RANGER GOT AWAY... RANGER! IS THERE! THE BLUES WERE ONLY DOWN BY FOUR POINTS TWICE DURING THE HALF, BUT THE BRUMBIES CONTINUED TO CAMP INSIDE THEIR 22, WAITING FOR PENALTIES AND KICKING MORE POINTS FOR A SMART 20-13 VICTORY. YOU KNOW, WHEN WE WOKE UP THIS MORNING AND SAW THE RAIN WAS COMING DOWN WE FELT PRETTY COMFORTABLE BECAUSE THAT WAS THE WAY WE HAD PLANNED ALL WEEK. FRUSTRATING THING IS, THAT'S PROBABLY THE FIRST GAME WE'VE LACKED A BIT OF PASSION, DESIRE. THAT'S THE DISAPPOINTING PART. YOU CAN LIVE WITH MISTAKES, COS GUYS ARE TRYING, BUT TONIGHT, WE GIVE OURSELVES AN UPPERCUT FOR THE FIRST HALF. TWO OF THE BLUES WHO DIDN'T DISAPPOINT, RANGER AND FLANKER LUKE BRAID; BUT A LOT OF THEIR TEAM-MATES FLOUNDERED. THE BLUES OVERALL NEED A MAJOR RE-THINK ` JUST ONE TRY IN TWO MATCHES. THEIR SEASON OF REBIRTH IS COMING UNSTUCK. THAT BRUMBIES WIN KEEPS THEM INSIDE THE TOP THREE AND TOP OF THE AUSSIE CONFERENCE AFTER THE QUEENSLAND REDS WERE UPSET IN CAPE TOWN BY THE STORMERS. THE CHIEFS STILL LEAD THE WAY OVERALL, BUT THE CRUSADERS' AND BLUES' PLAY-OFF STOCKS ARE STARTING TO DRIFT. AS WE GO TO AIR TONIGHT, SIR GRAHAM HENRY IS UP BEFORE SANZAR OFFICIALS ON A MISCONDUCT CHARGE AFTER HIS BARRAGE OF COMMENTS AGAINST REFEREES LAST WEEK. AT THE SAME TIME, ONE OF HENRY'S OLD ADVERSARIES IS IN THE MIDDLE OF A FLARE-UP IN THE UK. REFEREE WAYNE BARNES SENT OFF NORTHAMPTON'S KIWI-BORN CAPTAIN DYLAN HARTLEY IN THE FINAL OF THE ENGLISH PREMIERSHIP. BARNES SAYS HARTLEY CALLED HIM, "AN F'ING CHEAT". HE FACES A HEARING TONIGHT AND COULD BE BANNED FOR AT LEAST SIX WEEKS, MISSING THE LIONS TOUR. AFTER SUFFERING A RECORD NRL LOSS LAST WEEKEND, THE WARRIORS WERE LOOKING TO SILENCE THIER CRITICS TODAY AGAINST THE NEWCASTLE KNIGHTS IN AUCKLAND. JOE PORTER WATCHED THE ACTION. RUSTY PACKER WAS ANYTHING BUT TICKLED PINK WITH KADE SNOWDEN. PACKER IN THERE AND THERE'S A LITTLE PUSH AND SHOVE, AND THERE'S A FIGHT. PACKER AND SNOWDEN, THEY GET STRAIGHT UP AND SAY LET'S GET IT ON. BUT IT WAS THE BEAST WHO DID FIRST DAMAGE. QUICKLY OUT TO MANU VATUVEI ` HARD TO STOP, IMPOSSIBLE TO STOP. DOESN'T HE LOOK PRETTY IN PINK? JAMES MCMANUS HITTING BACK FOR THE KNIGHTS, THE FLYING SCOTSMAN'S DOUBLE GIVING NEWCASTLE A 12-10 HALF-TIME LEAD. THE PINK AUCKLAND SKY AN AUSPICIOUS OMEN, SAM RAPIRA RAMPAGING OVER BEFORE KEVIN LOCKE LATCHED ON TO A BOMB. IT'LL COME DOWN FOR LOCKE. HE'S GOT THE BALL. ON TO MANNERING! UP BY 10, BUT WARRIORS MISTAKES HAD MATT ELLIOTT SPITTING TACKS BEFORE A SHAUN JOHNSON SOFT TOUCH PUT THE GAME BEYOND DOUBT. TAYLOR WENT THROUGH ON THE JOHNSON PASS. THEY'RE GONNA RULE IT OK. TAYLOR SCORES FOR THE WARRIORS. THE 28-12 WIN A REMARKABLE TURNAROUND FOR A CLUB THAT LAST WEEK HIT ROCK BOTTOM. IN SYDNEY, FORMER WARRIOR JAMES MALONEY MAY HAVE KICKED HIS STATE OF ORIGIN AMBITIONS INTO TOUCH. JAMES MALONEY'S JUST LASHED OUT AT JUNIOR MOORS IN THE FRONT ROW THERE. THE ROOSTERS PLAYMAKER PUT ON REPORT FOR THE BONEHEADED BOOT. COOPER CRONK'S ORIGIN CHANCES ALSO UNDER A CLOUD AFTER THE STORM STAR'S TIP-TACKLE MOMENTS LATER. IT WAS AN AWKWARD ONE FROM PROCTER AND CRONK. WINLESS IN THEIR LAST THREE GAMES, THE STORM WERE CROWING FOR COOKED CHOOK, BUT A MELBOURNE MUDDLE HAD THE SYDNEYSIDERS SNIFFING THEIR SIXTH STRAIGHT WIN. BUT THE STORM PULLED AWAY AGAIN TO WIN COMFORTABLY 26-18. JOE PORTER, ONE NEWS. KIWI MARK HUNT HAS MISSED OUT ON A CHANCE FOR A SHOT AT THE ULTIMATE FIGHTING CHAMPIONSHIP'S HEAVYWEIGHT BELT. NEEDING A WIN TO PUT HIM NEXT IN LINE TO CHALLENGE FOR THE TITLE, THE VETERAN'S BEEN CONVINCINGLY BEATEN BY BRAZILIAN JUNIOR DOS SANTOS IN LAS VEGAS. THE SYDNEY-BASED SAMOAN SUFFERING HIS FIRST LOSS BY KNOCK DOWN. OH, SPINNING KICK, LANDS IT, AND IT IS ALL OVER, JUNIOR DOS SANTOS BY KNOCKDOWN!!! THE BIG-HITTING HUNT WELL AND TRULY PLANTED, WHILE ALL THE ACCOLADES WENT TO DOS SANTOS. ENGLAND'S IN CHARGE HEADING INTO DAY THREE OF THE SECOND CRICKET TEST AGAINST THE BLACK CAPS IN LEEDS. THE ENGLISH HAVE PILED ON THE RUNS, WITH A YOUNG STAR SCORING HIS MAIDEN CENTURY. BLAIR NORTON REPORTS. IF BRENDON MCCULLUM WAS HAPPY BEING ASKED TO BOWL, HE WAS ECSTATIC WHEN TIM SOUTHEE STRUCK IN HIS SECOND OVER. LITTLE BIT WIDER ON THE CREASE THERE. AND TAKEN! ALISTAIR COOK AND JONATHON TROTT CAME TO THE RESCUE. THAT'LL GO ALL THE WAY, I SUSPECT. IT SEEMED THE PAIR HAD DONE ALL THE HARD WORK, PUTTING ON 56 JUST BEFORE LUNCH. THAT'S THE WICKET THEY WANTED. THAT'S THE BREAKTHROUGH. EDGED, AND GONE. TWO IN TWO. YOUNG YORKSHIREMAN JOE ROOT LOOKED ASSURED IN FRONT OF HIS HOME CROWD. GOOD SHOT. HIS PARTNER, IAN BELL, WASN'T AS COMFORTABLE, BUT GOT AWAY WITH THIS. OOH, THERE IS A NOISE THERE. BELL ONLY MANAGED ANOTHER 18 RUNS, THE FESTIVE FANS HARDLY COMPLAINING AS ROOT AND FELLOW YORKSHIREMAN JONNY BAIRSTOW TOOK CONTROL, KANE WILLIAMSON PUNISHED FOR 19 IN ONE OVER. BAIRSTOW HAD HIS 50 IN 72 BALLS, AND ROOT HIS MAIDEN TEST CENTURY. WHAT A MARVELLOUS MOMENT FOR HIM. WHAT A MARVELLOUS MOMENT FOR THIS YORKSHIRE CROWD. ENGLAND IN AN OMINOUSLY STRONG POSITION AT 270/4 WHEN TRENT BOULT STRUCK. FIRST BALL WITH THE NEW BALL BRINGS THE WICKET. ROOT GONE FOR 104, AND THE LEFTY WASN'T DONE. OH, HE'S GONE. BOULT'S THREE WICKETS IN 15 DELIVERIES GIVING NZ SOME HOPE, THOUGH ENGLAND TOOK BACK THE INITIATIVE IN THE FINAL HOUR, CLOSING AT 337/7. BLAIR NORTON, ONE NEWS. THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE FOOTBALL FINAL HAS BEEN DESCRIBED AS "THE BIGGEST GERMAN THING TO HAPPEN IN ENGLAND". 90,000 FANS PACKED WEMBLEY STADIUM TO WITNESS THE CROWNING OF THE CLUB KINGS OF EUROPE, AND HAD TO WAIT TIL THE SECOND HALF FOR BAYERN TO OPEN THE SCORING. A PENALTY GAVE GERMAN RIVALS BORUSSIA DORTMUND THE CHANCE TO EQUALISE. EXTRA TIME LOOKED ON THE CARDS, BEFORE THIS PIECE OF MAGIC. RIBERY WITH A FLICK, AND ROBBEN THIS TIME FOR BAYERN! ARJEN ROBBEN, IT'S ALL COME GOOD FOR THE DUTCHMAN! RIGHT AT THE DEATH. BAYERN MUNICH'S FIFTH CHAMPIONS LEAGUE VICTORY HELPING TO ERASE THE MEMORIES OF FINALS DEFEATS IN 2010 AND LAST YEAR.
