HELLO, EVERYBODY. THE FAIR-WEATHER ANTICYCLONE IS HOLDING FIRM, BUT THERE'S TROUBLE AT THE BORDERS. SHOWERS CHIPPED AWAY AT THE EAST COAST, WITH 4MM FALLING IN GISBORNE. CANTERBURY HAD COASTAL DRIZZLE AND THE CAMPERSVILLE AT NEW PLYMOUTH A GUSTY SOU'EASTER. MORE ACTION ON THE PACIFIC COAST TOMORROW, BUT THE OUTLOOK IS GOOD FOR SHOWDAY IN CHRISTCHURCH. 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. DESPERATE FOR FOOD, WATER AND SHELTER ` A DEEPENING HUMANITARIAN CRISIS AS THE SCALE OF THE TYPHOON DEVASTATION BECOMES CLEARER. EXAMS IN THE DARK AFTER AN OUTAGE LEAVES TENS OF THOUSANDS WITHOUT POWER ACROSS THE NORTH ISLAND. STUNNING SCENERY AND SURGING WATERWAYS, BUT A RULING ON OUR OLDEST NATIONAL PARK RAISES QUESTIONS ABOUT THE NEXT STATE-ASSET SALE. AND THE CLINK OF GLASSES AND THE SOUND OF HOOVES AND HEELS ` IT'S DRESS TO IMPRESS AS THE GARDEN CITY PARTIES ON CUP DAY. KIA ORA, GOOD EVENING. HEARTBREAK IS TURNING TO ANGER AND DESPERATION IN THE PHILIPPINES, AS TYPHOON SURVIVORS STRUGGLE TO GET BASIC NEEDS. AND FEARS ARE GROWING OF WIDESPREAD LAWLESSNESS, WITH PEOPLE GOING TO EXTREME LENGTHS TO OBTAIN FOOD AND WATER FOR THEIR FAMILIES. MORE THAN NINE MILLION ARE PEOPLE AFFECTED, AND A LARGE-SCALE HUMANITARIAN EFFORT IS BEING PLANNED AS BRITAIN AND AMERICA SEND IN WARSHIPS TO HELP OUT. LISA OWEN IS ACROSS DEVELOPMENTS. THESE ARE THE MANY FACES OF DESPERATION ` THE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WHO'VE MADE IT THIS FAR FIGHTING TO GET OUT AND TO STAY ALIVE. IT'S REALLY HARD IN HERE. EVERYTHING IS GONE ` OUR HOUSES, EVERYTHING. THERE'S NOTHING TO EAT, THERE'S NOTHING TO DRINK. THE PHILIPPINES IS OFFICIALLY IN A STATE OF CALAMITY. AND THE MESSAGE, HOWEVER IT'S SENT, COULDN'T BE CLEARER. NOW WE ARE SO VERY HUNGRY AND THIRSTY. THAT'S WHY WE ARE HURTING. BECAUSE EVEN IT IS SO, IF YOU HAVE WATER OR FOOD THERE, MAYBE YOU CAN GIVE US. THIS FAMILY IS DRYING OFF TYPHOON-DAMAGED RICE, HOPING IT'S EDIBLE. FOR THE MOMENT THE LOOTING IS ORDERLY, WITH A STEADY TRAIL OF PEOPLE TAKING WHAT THEY NEED. TRANSLATOR: IF WE SEE PEOPLE GETTING FOOD, WE JUST LET THEM BE. IF THEY'RE LOOTING OTHER THINGS, SUCH AS APPLIANCES, WE APPREHEND THEM. BUT SOON THIS SUPERMARKET AND THE WAREHOUSES, ALL OF THEM WILL PICKED OVER ` EMPTY. LOCALS SIPHON PETROL FROM A WRECKED SERVICE STATION SO THEY CAN TRAVEL FURTHER AFIELD, LOOKING FOR NECESSITIES. MEDICINE IS IN SHORT SUPPLY TOO. AT THIS MAKESHIFT HOSPITAL, SOME PEOPLE ARE BEING TREATED WITHOUT ANAESTHETIC. OTHERS CAN'T GET TREATMENT AT ALL. HE NEEDS DIALYSIS, AND HE'S BEEN OFF NOW FOR TWO DAYS, AND HE'S IN CRITICAL CONDITION. SO IF THE WORLD'S OUT THERE, SEND HELP, BECAUSE THESE PEOPLE NEED IT. THE RED CROSS DESCRIBES THE SITUATION AS 'BEDLAM'. AMERICAN TROOPS ARE ALREADY ON THE GROUND DISTRIBUTING VITAL SUPPLIES, BUT THE PHILIPPINE GOVERNMENT IS STRUGGLING TO GET AID OUT. WRECKED ROADS AND BRIDGES ARE ONLY PART OF THE PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM IS 90% TO 95% OF PEOPLE IN CITY HALL ARE ALSO CASUALTIES. THIS MAN RECORDS THE NAMES OF HIS DEAD NEIGHBOURS, WHILE A WOMAN SHELTERING AT A CHURCH MOURNS THE DAUGHTER SHE COULDN'T SAVE. TRANSLATOR: JUST A FEW MOMENTS AND WE WOULD ALL BE SAVED, BUT I ACCIDENTLY LET GO OF MY CHILD'S HAND. THERE ARE FEARS OF DISEASE AS MANY CORPSES STILL LIE DECOMPOSING IN THE HEAT. ONE MASS GRAVE IN TACLOBAN CITY IS THOUGHT TO HOLD UP TO 500 BODIES ALREADY. I AM VERY HOPELESS. EVERYTHING IS GONE. ALL THAT REMAINS FOR SOME IS THE SHEER DETERMINATION TO CARRY ON. LISA OWEN, ONE NEWS. AND A STORM CHASER'S RELEASED DRAMATIC VIDEO OF THE TYPHOON SMASHING INTO THE COAST NEAR TACLOBAN. LOOK AT THIS ` POWERFUL WINDS AND DRIVING RAIN LASHING THE AREA, UPROOTING TREES AND SENDING DEBRIS FLYING. THESE PICTURES CAPTURED BY AMERICAN STORM ENTHUSIAST JIM EDDS WHO WENT TO TACLOBAN TO TRACK THE TYPHOON. AS THE FULL FORCE OF HAIYAN HIT, HE SOUGHT SHELTER IN A SWIMMING POOL, BUT IT BECAME TOO DANGEROUS, SO HE RAN FROM VILLA TO VILLA, TRYING TO AVOID FLYING OBJECTS PICKED UP BY THE FEROCIOUS WINDS. THE PHILIPPINES IS NO STRANGER TO VIOLENT WEATHER, BUT THE SHEER POWER OF THE TYPHOON TOOK MANY, INCLUDING EXPERTS, BY SURPRISE. THE BBC'S DAVID SHUKMAN TAKES A LOOK AT WHY THIS STORM WAS SO DEVASTATING. IT TAKES A VIEW FROM THE AIR TO SEE THE EXTRAORDINARY SCALE OF DEVASTATION. FEROCIOUS WINDS COMBINE WITH MASSIVE WALLS OF WATER TO LAY WASTE TO WHOLE COMMUNITIES. NOW, THE PEOPLE OF THE PHILIPPINES ARE WELL USED TO THE THREAT OF TYPHOONS. THEY'VE HAD MORE THAN 20 THIS YEAR ALONE, BUT NOWHERE NEAR THE SCALE OF THIS ONE. LIKE ALL TROPICAL STORMS, IT BEGAN WITH A CLUSTER ` LOOSE CLUSTER ` OF THUNDERCLOUDS. NOTHING UNUSUAL. BUT THESE QUICKLY MERGED TOGETHER TO FORM A SINGLE WEATHER SYSTEM, WHICH STARTED ROTATING, PULLING AIR UP INTO ITS CENTRE. THE STORM STRETCHED OVER 300 MILES. BY NOW, IT WAS A TYPHOON, AND THE HEAT RISING FROM THE WARM OCEAN KEPT ADDING TO ITS STRENGTH. HIGHER TEMPERATURES MEAN MORE ENERGY. THIS MEANT THAT, IN THE EYE OF THE STORM AND AROUND IT, THE WINDS KEPT ACCELERATING. INTENSE LOW PRESSURE ALSO LIFTED THE SEA SURFACE TO CREATE A STORM SURGE, ANOTHER SOURCE OF DANGER FOR ANYONE IN ITS PATH. ONLY THE STRONGEST SHELTER WOULD HELP THEM SURVIVE. COMPARE THE TOWN OF GUIUAN BEFORE THE DISASTER WITH THE SAME VIEW JUST AFTER IT. HERE'S TACLOBAN, SEEN LAST YEAR. IT MET A SIMILAR FATE, THE STORM HITTING WITH EXPLOSIVE FORCE. THE DEVASTATION... IS STAGGERING. TODAY AN OFFICIAL FROM THE PHILIPPINES WAS AT A UN CLIMATE CONFERENCE. HE'S FROM TACLOBAN AND CALLS FOR ACTION ON GLOBAL WARMING. WE CAN FIX THIS. WE CAN STOP THIS MADNESS RIGHT NOW, RIGHT HERE. IT WAS AN EMOTIONAL MOMENT. THE FACT IS, THOUGH, THAT NO SINGLE WEATHER EVENT CAN EVER BE BLAMED ON CLIMATE CHANGE. BUT SCIENTISTS DO SAY WARMER OCEANS COULD MAKE THE MOST VICIOUS STORMS MORE LIKELY. BACK HERE, KIWIS CONTINUE TO DIG DEEP ` SO FAR, A TOTAL OF HALF A MILLION DOLLARS HAS BEEN DONATED TO VARIOUS AID ORGANISATIONS. BUSINESSES TOO ARE SHOWING THEIR GOODWILL. THIS BAKERY IN CHRISTCHURCH, RUN BY A FILIPINO COUPLE, IS DONATING SOME OF THEIR EARNINGS TO THE VICTIMS OF TYPHOON HAIYAN. THE COUPLE SAY IT'S A BITTERSWEET GESTURE. WE CAN'T DO EVERYTHING, BUT WE CAN DO SOMETHING TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE FOR THEIR LIVES. AND THERE'LL BE A SPECIAL SERVICE AT ST PATRICK'S CATHEDRAL IN AUCKLAND TO REMEMBER THE FILIPINO VICTIMS TOMORROW NIGHT. SCHOOL EXAMS, MOVIE THEATRES AND SHOPPING MALLS WERE ALL LEFT IN THE DARK TODAY AFTER AN OUTAGE CUT POWER RIGHT ACROSS THE NORTH ISLAND. WHILE IT'S BEEN RESTORED NOW, THE BLACKOUT CAUSED MAJOR DISRUPTIONS FOR TENS OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE. GEORGINA BALL REPORTS. AT AUCKLAND'S MT ALBERT GRAMMAR, STUDENTS HAD TO FOCUS ALL THE HARDER WHEN THEIR POWER CUT OUT DURING THEIR ENGLISH EXAM. I WAS WRITING MY ESSAY, AND THEN, ALL OF A SUDDEN, BAM, THE LIGHTS JUST WENT OUT. THIS SCHOOL WAS JUST ONE OF BETWEEN 300,000 AND 400,000 HOMES AND BUSINESSES FROM KAITAIA TO WELLINGTON STUCK WITHOUT POWER AFTER THE NEW CABLE BETWEEN THE NORTH AND SOUTH ISLAND MALFUNCTIONED AT ABOUT 11 THIS MORNING. IT HALTED SCREENINGS AT THIS LOWER HUTT CINEMA. WE JUST HAVE TO GET PEOPLE OUT SAFELY, AND THEN... AND THEN START ISSUING THEM WITH TICKETS TO COME BACK ANOTHER TIME. SO IT'S A BIT OF A COSTLY EXERCISE. AT ONE POINT, THE POWER WAS OUT FOR ABOUT 10% OF OUR BIGGEST CITY, LEAVING SHOPPERS AT THIS AUCKLAND MALL IN THE DARK, WITH NO EFTPOS. I'VE COME BACK TO RETURN SOMETHING, BUT I CAN'T GET IN. AND WE HAVE NO CUSTOMERS. (CHUCKLES) THE CUTS CAUSED PROBLEMS ON THE ROADS TOO. TRAFFIC LIGHTS WENT OUT IN MANY AREAS. AND IN WELLINGTON, SEVERAL LUNCH-HOUR TRAINS WERE FORCED OUT OF ACTION. THIS SUBSTATION ON HAWYARDS HILL IS WHERE THE NORTH AND SOUTH ISLAND ELECTRICITY NETWORKS LINK UP. THE POWER WENT OUT WHILE TESTS WERE BEING CARRIED OUT ON THE NEW MULTIMILLION-DOLLAR CABLE ACROSS THE COOK STRAIT TO SEE IF IT COULD HANDLE SIMULATED FAULTS. POWER WAS FULLY RESTORED BY ABOUT 2 O'CLOCK, AND TRANSPOWER, WHICH RUNS THE NATIONAL GRID, IS REASSURING PEOPLE IT WON'T BE A REGULAR EVENT. I MEAN, WE'VE JUST GOT TO SEE WHERE IT WENT WRONG AND... AND LIFT OUR GAME AND MAKE SURE IT DOESN'T HAPPEN AGAIN. THE GOVERNMENT'S ASKED FOR A FULL REPORT ON WHAT'S BEING DONE TO PREVENT FUTURE DISRUPTIONS. GEORGINA BALL, ONE NEWS CENTRAL NORTH ISLAND IWI DESERVE SUBSTANTIAL COMPENSATION FOR LOSING OWNERSHIP OF TONGARIRO NATIONAL PARK, ACCORDING TO THE WAITANGI TRIBUNAL. A REPORT RELEASED TODAY SAYS THE CROWN BREACHED THE TREATY, WRONGFULLY ASSUMING MANAGEMENT OF THE LAND WITH LITTLE OR NO CONSULTATION WITH MAORI. IT WANTS CONTROL OF OUR OLDEST NATIONAL PARK RESTORED IN PART TO IWI. THE REPORT, WHICH COVERS 41 INDIVIDUAL CLAIMS, IS NOT BINDING ON THE GOVERNMENT. BUT IT IS RAISING QUESTIONS ABOUT THE NEXT STATE ASSET TO GO ON THE BLOCK ` GENESIS ENERGY WILL BE PARTIALLY SOLD EARLY NEXT YEAR. THE TRIBUNAL REPORT ALSO FOUND SOME IWI HAVE OWNERSHIP RIGHTS TO WATERWAYS USED BY GENESIS TO GENERATE POWER. POLITICAL EDITOR CORIN DANN HAS MORE. THE TONGARIRO POWER SCHEME IS MADE UP OF A NETWORK OF WATERWAYS AND DAMS NEAR LAKE TAUPO. IT'S ONE OF GENESIS ENERGY'S PRIZED ASSETS. BUT THERE ARE NOW QUESTIONS ABOUT WHO OWNS THE WATER IT USES. THIS WAS NOT A PROBLEM WHEN THESE WATER RIGHTS WERE IN PUBLIC OWNERSHIP. IT IS A PROBLEM WHEN THEY ARE PRIVATISED. THE WAITANGI TRIBUNAL HAS RULED THAT 41 IWI CLAIMANTS HAVE OWNERSHIP RIGHTS TO THE WATERWAYS AND NEVER RELINQUISHED THEM TO THE CROWN, AND THE SCHEME WAS A BREACH OF THE TREATY BECAUSE IT DENIED LOCAL MAORI ANY COMMERCIAL BENEFIT. I DON'T THINK LEGAL ACTION IS NECESSARY BECAUSE IF WE'RE HONEST AND MATURE ABOUT WANTING TO RECONCILE SO THAT WE CAN GROW, WE WON'T NEED THAT. WE ALL HAVE AN INTEREST IN TRYING TO RESOLVE IT, BUT IT DOESN'T BEAR DIRECTLY ON THE SALE. THE SUPREME COURT'S MADE IT PRETTY CLEAR. LAST YEAR, THE SUPREME COURT REJECTED A BID BY THE MAORI COUNCIL TO STOP THE PARTIAL SALE OF MIGHTY RIVER POWER, RULING CLAIMS OVER WATER RIGHTS CAN BE DEALT WITH SEPARATELY. MR ENGLISH NOW IN REGULAR TALKS WITH IWI AFFECTED BY THE GENESIS SALE. WE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF DISCUSSING THOSE ISSUES WITH THEM, BUT WE DON'T SEE AN EASY RESOLUTION TO IT. I MEAN, THE IDEA OF... OF THEM GETTING SOME KIND OF ECONOMIC GAIN OF IT IS A PRETTY NEW IDEA FOR NZ. WHILE THE TRIBUNAL RULING WON'T BLOCK THE SALE, THE OPPOSITION CLAIMS IT COULD AFFECT THE SHARE PRICE AS IT NOW LEAVES GENESIS ENERGY UNDER A CLOUD OF POTENTIAL COURT ACTION AND COMPENSATION. GENESIS ENERGY SAYS WHILE IT'S ENGAGING WITH IWI, MATTERS OF COMPENSATION AND OWNERSHIP ARE BETWEEN IWI AND THE CROWN. CORIN DANN, ONE NEWS. AS THE PARTY KICKS OFF IN CANTERBURY WITH CUP AND SHOW WEEK, SO TOO DOES A BIG CLAMPDOWN ON BOOZE. A NEW LIQUOR BAN AROUND ADDINGTON IS IN PLACE FOR CUP DAY WHICH SPANS SEVERAL KILOMETRES OF THE CITY AND IS LITTERED WITH POLICE CHECKPOINTS. A BOLSTERED BLUE LINE WILL ALSO BE OUT IN FORCE TONIGHT, WITH POLICE EXPECTING A SPIKE IN DISORDER AROUND 10PM. WE STARTED EARLY THIS MORNING, PUTTING OUR TROOPS AROUND THE ACTUAL OUTLETS AND WHERE THE CHAMPAGNE BREAKFASTS OCCUR, TRYING TO GET THE MESSAGE ACROSS ` LOOK AFTER YOURSELF AND LOOK AFTER YOUR FRIENDS. THE STRONGER POLICE PRESENCE IS PART OF A BIGGER ALCOHOL BLITZ THAT WILL SEE DRUNK DRIVERS TARGETED RIGHT UP UNTIL CHRISTMAS. CUP DAY AT ADDINGTON IS A CHRISTCHURCH INSTITUTION, AND THIS YEAR ONCE AGAIN, WELL OVER 20,000 TURNED UP AT THE TRACK. THERE AMONG THE CROWD AND DRESSED FOR THE OCCASION ` OUR VERY OWN FASHIONABLE LISA DAVIES. As you know, Cup Day at Addington is a must do on the Christchurch calendar. PULSATING MUSIC PLAYS THE BEST OF CUP DAY'S FASHION CONFECTIONS. NINE MONTHS DEDICATED TO CLAIRE FOLEY'S WINNING LOOK. HER ADVICE? STAY CLASSY, DEFINITELY. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF YOU DON'T WIN. BEST-DRESSED MAN COULD PROBABLY WIN BEST HUSBAND AS WELL WHEN IT COMES TO HIS STYLING SECRET. DOING WHAT MY WIFE TELLS ME TO DO. THE FASHION HEATS SAW 80 WOMEN ENTER. A TRIP TO HAWAII UP FOR GRABS. GENERALLY WE ARE SEEING CONSENSUS, AREN'T WE, LADIES? THERE'S BEEN NO FIGHTING AT THE JUDGES TABLE AS YET. (CHUCKLES) THEY CERTAINLY SAW A RANGE OF STYLES. IT'S VERY NICE FOR SOMEBODY WHO'S NEARLY 65 TO GO UP AGAINST THE YOUNG FILLIES. WE CAN'T FIND A SUIT WITH BLACK DOTS, SO GOT STUCK-ON BLACK DOTS AND... THAT'S WHAT I LOVE. I LOVE THAT. > BAND PLAYS UPBEAT TUNE LET'S FACE IT. AH! IT'S GOOD FUN. DRINK UP. (CHUCKLES) ...ANYTHING GOES ON CUP DAY. THIS BOW TIE IS KIND OF, LIKE, SPECIAL TO ME. I MADE IT MYSELF. MAKE SOME MONEY. WHOO! THEY PRE-SOLD 23,000 TICKETS FIRST THING THIS MORNING. BUT EVEN THOUGH IT'S A BIT OF A GREY DAY, HUNDREDS MORE KEEP POURING THROUGH THE GATES. SOME RACEGOERS WERE EVEN HERE FOR THE HORSES CHEERING DEFINITELY, IT'S THE BEST DAY IN CHRISTCHURCH. MILLIONAIRES AFTER WE WIN. THE BEST DAY IN CHRISTCHURCH ` FOR SOME, WITHOUT A DOUBT. IT'S A FUN TIME AT THE RACES. I LOVE THE RACES. FOR SOME, YOU CAN GUARANTEE TOMORROW IS GOING TO FEEL LIKE THE WORST. AND THE BIG RACE FINISHED A SHORT TIME AGO. SOME HISTORY MADE TODAY, LISA. History indeed. What a race it was! It was quite something to be here in the crowd as they crossEd the line. MAN: Terra to love Leads. AND THE CROWD JUST WENT WILD AS THEY CROSSED THE LINE. THANKS, LISA DAVIES IN CHRISTCHURCH. AHEAD ON ONE NEWS ` THE SPOTLIGHT GOES ON DRUGS CHEATS IN JAMAICA AS CRITICS SAY THE COUNTRY'S ANTI-DOPING REGIME IS FAILING. POWERED BY THE ROAD.

THE CONTROVERSIAL BILL ALLOWING SKYCITY TO BUILD AN INTERNATIONAL CONVENTION CENTRE IN EXCHANGE FOR MORE POKIES HAS PASSED ITS FINAL HURDLE. BUT THE FINAL DEBATE IN PARLIAMENT BROUGHT A WARNING FROM LABOUR THAT ALL BETS ARE OFF IF THERE'S A CHANGE IN GOVERNMENT. POLITICAL EDITOR KATIE BRADFORD WITH THIS. IT CAME DOWN TO THE WIRE, BUT SUPPORTERS OF THE 'POKIES FOR CONVENTION CENTRE' DEAL GOT THERE IN THE END, 61 VOTES TO 59. BUT IT COMES WITH A WARNING FROM LABOUR, THOUGH, DAVID CUNLIFFE GOING FURTHER THAN HE HAS BEFORE. WE WILL NOT ABIDE BY THE COMPENSATION CLAUSES OF THAT CONTRACT. WE WILL REGULATE AGAINST GAMING HARM. WE WILL PRESERVE THE MANA AND AUTHORITY OF THE NZ PARLIAMENT, AND WE WILL NOT DO A DIRTY DEAL. THE BILL'S BEEN DOGGED BY CONTROVERSY, BUT AFTER TWO YEARS OF DEBATE AND MUCH NEGOTIATION, IT'S GOT THE FINAL TICK. IT SHOULD BRING HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF HIGH-PAYING TOURISTS TO NZ. IT'S A GREAT WAY OF PROMOTING THE COUNTRY. THAT'S DESPITE A FAILED LAST-DITCH ATTEMPT BY THE GREENS TO DELAY THE BILL. THEY WANTED ALL MPS TO DECLARE WHETHER THEY HAD SHARES IN THE CASINO OPERATOR BEFORE VOTING. WE WILL CONTINUE TO FIGHT BECAUSE THIS CONVENTION CENTRE HASN'T BEEN BUILT YET. THE AGREEMENT THAT SKYCITY HAS WITH THE GOVERNMENT HAS NOT YET BEEN FULFILLED. SKYCITY SAYS IT'S DELIGHTED IT CAN NOW MOVE AHEAD. WITH A PROJECT TEAM TO BE ANNOUNCED SHORTLY, BUILDING'S EXPECTED TO START IN THE MIDDLE OF NEXT YEAR. IT WILL COST THE COMPANY $402M TO BUILD. IN RETURN, THE GOVERNMENT HAS EXTENDED ITS GAMING LICENCE FOR 35 YEARS AND ALLOWED AN EXTRA 230 POKIE MACHINES AND 40 MORE GAMING TABLES. AND JOBS ARE BEING PROMISED. THERE WLLL BE AROUND 1000 PEOPLE EMPLOYED IN THE CONSTRUCTION PROCESS, NOT 18 AS THE OPPOSITION ARE PRONE TO ASSERT. A CLAUSE IN THE BILL MEANS A FUTURE GOVERNMENT WOULD HAVE DIFFICULTY RIPPING UP THE AGREEMENT, BUT LABOUR AND THE GREENS SAY IT WOULDN'T STOP THEM TRYING. KATIE BRADFORD, ONE NEWS. THE CONTROVERSIAL PLAN FOR AN OPENCAST MINE ON THE WEST COAST'S DENNISTON PLATEAU IS SET TO GO AHEAD, WITH THE FOREST AND BIRD PROTECTION SOCIETY DECIDING AGAINST APPEALING AN ENVIRONMENT COURT RULING GIVING THE MINE THE GREEN LIGHT. INSTEAD, THE CONSERVATION GROUP CAME TO AN AGREEMENT WITH MINING COMPANY BATHURST RESOURCES YESTERDAY TO CREATE A PROTECTED RESERVE ON PART OF THE PLATEAU. YOU KNOW, IT'S GREAT ` THAT'S HUNDREDS OF JOBS, AND IT'S ABOUT A BILLION DOLLARS OF REVENUE FOR THE WEST COAST. SO IT'S A FANTASTIC RESULT FOR THE WEST COAST, BUT ALSO FOR NZ. BATHURST RESOURCES SAYS WITH ITS TWO-YEAR COURT BATTLE NOW BEHIND IT, IT'LL START MINING ACTIVITIES AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. POLICE SAY THEY ARE AWARE OF A NEW FACEBOOK PAGE CLAIMING TO BELONG TO THE ROAST-BUSTERS AND SAY THEY HAVE ASKED FACEBOOK TO SHUT IT DOWN. THE PEOPLE BEHIND THE NEW PAGE APPEAR TO DEFEND THE ALLEGATIONS AGAINST THE GROUP, PROMPTING OUTRAGE FROM HUNDREDS OF USERS. SINCE IT WAS SET UP THREE DAYS AGO, MORE THAN 400 PEOPLE HAVE JOINED.

THE ACHIEVEMENTS OF JAMAICA'S OLYMPIC HEROES ARE UNDER THE DRUGS SPOTLIGHT TONIGHT. THIS AFTER JAMAICA'S MOST SENIOR DRUG-TESTING OFFICIAL IS WARNING A RECENT SPATE OF FAILED TESTS FROM ATHLETES ON THE ISLAND COULD BE JUST THE TIP OF THE ICEBERG. THE BBC'S DAVID BOND REPORTS. JAMAICA'S ATHLETES HAVE WON OVER THE WORLD, NOT ONLY WITH THEIR INCREDIBLE SPEED, BUT WITH THEIR SENSE OF FUN AND CHARISMA. d TRIPLE OLYMPIC CHAMPION 8 SHELLY ANN FRASER PRYCE IS ONE OF THE FIGUREHEADS FOR A COUNTRY THAT NOW DOMINATES WORLD ATHLETICS. BUT OTHER ATHLETES HAVE TAKEN THE SHINE OFF THIS ISLAND'S GLITTERING ACHIEVEMENTS. A TOTAL OF SIX JAMAICANS, INCLUDING THE FORMER 100M WORLD RECORD HOLDER, ASAFA POWELL, HAVE TESTED POSITIVE FOR BANNED DRUGS IN 2013. RAISING CONCERNS ABOUT JAMAICA'S ANTI-DOPING REGIME. CONFIDENCE HAS BEEN ERODED. LAST WEEK, THE WORLD ANTI-DOPING AGENCY VISITED THE ISLAND, PROMPTED BY CLAIMS OF A LACK OF TESTING, PARTICULARLY IN THE RUN-UP TO THE LONDON OLYMPICS. DR PAUL WRIGHT IS JAMAICA'S MOST SENIOR DRUG TESTER. HE FEARS THAT IF ATHLETES ARE FAILING TESTS WHILE COMPETING, THEN THE REAL PICTURE MIGHT BE MUCH WORSE IN TRAINING, WHERE A LACK OF SCRUTINY COULD MAKE IT EASIER TO DOPE. < DO YOU THINK JAMAICAN ATHLETES ARE CHEATING? (CHUCKLES) THE RESULTS ARE NOT GOOD. RESULTS ARE NOT GOOD. THIS YEAR ALONE, THE RESULTS REALLY POINT A FINGER. I BELIEVE THAT THE POSITIVES IN COMPETITION REPRESENTS THE POSSIBLE TIP OF AN ICEBERG. JAMAICA'S BIGGEST STARS, LIKE USAIN BOLT AND FRASER PRYCE, HAVE BEEN UNTOUCHED BY A SCANDAL THAT HAS NEVERTHELESS SHOCKED THIS COUNTRY. HAVING RISEN SO RAPIDLY TO THE TOP OF WORLD ATHLETICS, THE PEOPLE WHO RUN SPORT HERE MUST NOW ATTEMPT TO LIVE UP TO THE SAME HIGH STANDARDS. FOLLOWING THE WORLD ANTI-DOPING AGENCY VISIT TO JAMAICA, THE COUNTRY'S SPORTS MINISTER HAS VOWED TO INCREASE THE ANNUAL BUDGET FOR TESTING TO HIRE ADDITIONAL TESTERS. WEATHER TIME NOW.

AHEAD ON ONE NEWS ` THE KIWI SCIENTISTS AND THEIR LIGHT-BULB MOMENT THAT COULD CHANGE THE WORLD OF MOTORING. AND A LEAP OF FAITH THAT TURNED INTO A QUARTER CENTURY OF BUNGEE-BUSINESS SUCCESS. ONE COUNCIL TO RULE THEM ALL ` THAT'S THE PROPOSAL FOR NORTHLAND FROM THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT COMMISSION. THE PLAN REVEALED TODAY INVOLVES MERGING THE WHANGAREI, KAIPARA AND FAR NORTH DISTRICTS INTO A SINGLE SUPER COUNCIL. HELEN CASTLES HAS DETAILS. IT'S A REGION OF GREAT CONTRAST ` SOME OF ITS MORE THAN 60 TOWNS PROSPEROUS AND FLOURISHING; OTHERS STRUGGLING TO SURVIVE. NOW THERE ARE PLANS TO BRING THEM ALL TOGETHER. LOCAL GOVERNMENT IN NORTHLAND IS AT A CROSSROADS. UNDER THE PROPOSAL, NORTHLAND'S FOUR GOVERNING COUNCILS WILL BE REPLACED BY ONE SUPER COUNCIL. ONE ADVOCACY BODY FOR NORTHLAND TO BE ABLE TO PUT UP, STAND UP AND SAY TO THE REST OF, UH, GOVERNMENT AND OTHER AGENCIES, BUSINESS, COMMUNITIES, 'WE'RE HERE.' IT'S LIKELY THE COUNCIL WOULD BE BASED IN WHANGAREI, WITH ONE MAYOR AND SEVEN WARDS REPRESENTING MORE THAN 150,000 PEOPLE; EACH WARD WITH ITS OWN COMMUNITY BOARD. IT'S NOT WHAT LOCAL LEADERS HAD IN MIND WHEN THEY SUGGESTED CHANGE. THE FAR NORTH DISTRICT COUNCIL ASKED THE COMMISSION TO SCRAP THE REGIONAL COUNCIL BUT REMAIN INDEPENDENT. TODAY'S MORE RADICAL CHANGE HAS GIVEN THEM MUCH TO THINK ABOUT. IT CERTAINLY APPEARS, ON THE FACE OF IT, TO DELIVER THE ONE VOICE FOR NORTHLAND. WELL, CLEARLY, WE NEED TO TAKE THIS INFORMATION AWAY, DIGEST IT. BUT IWI LEADERS SAY MAORI HAVE BEEN SIDELINED IN THE PROPOSAL; THEIR CALL FOR DEDICATED MAORI SEATS ON THE COUNCIL REJECTED IN FAVOUR OF THE MAORI COMMITTEE. MAORI REALLY HAVEN'T BEEN LISTENED TO IN A CONSTRUCTIVE AND AN ENGAGEMENT WAY FOR MANY, MANY YEARS. BUT NOTHING'S SET IN STONE. IT'S TOO EARLY TO START CAMPAIGNING YET. THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT COMMISSION WILL CONSIDER PUBLIC SUBMISSIONS, BUT A SUPER NORTH COUNCIL COULD BE A REALITY WITHIN TWO YEARS. HELEN CASTLES, ONE NEWS. THE COUNTRY'S NEW TOP SPY HAS BEEN NAMED BY THE PRIME MINISTER. VETERAN PUBLIC SERVANT REBECCA KITTERIDGE WILL BECOME THE DIRECTOR OF THE SIS.

MS KITTERIDGE REPLACES DR WARREN TUCKER, WHO IS RETIRING NEXT YEAR. IMAGINE DRIVING DOWN THE STREET AND POWERING UP YOUR CAR FROM WIRES UNDER THE ROAD. IT'S AN IDEA THAT'S WELL ON THE WAY TO BEING A REALITY, AND ONE THAT'S HELPED TWO AUCKLAND UNIVERSITY SCIENTISTS WIN A TOP SCIENCE AWARD FROM THE PRIME MINISTER. WILL HINE REPORTS. LIGHT-BULB MOMENTS DON'T COME MUCH BETTER THAN THIS. WE BRING THIS HORIZONTAL COIL IN HERE, AND AS WE GET NEAR TO THE OTHER COIL, WE PICK UP POWER FROM IT. THERE ARE NO WIRES INVOLVED. JUST THIN AIR. WE TRANSFER POWER FROM ONE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM TO ANOTHER ELECTRICAL SYSTEM USING A MAGNETIC FIELD IN BETWEEN. IT'S ACTUALLY A FAIRLY OLD IDEA BUT HAS BEEN REFINED HERE AT AUCKLAND UNIVERSITY. AND IT'S NOT JUST LIGHT BULBS IN LABS. THE MEN ARE ALSO WORKING WITH ELECTRIC VEHICLES. ULTIMATELY, THE OIL AND THE GAS AND ALL THAT SORT OF STUFF IS GOING TO RUN OUT, AND THEN WH-WHAT ELSE ARE WE GOING TO USE? THEY'VE CREATED A WAY TO CHARGE ELECTRIC VEHICLES WIRELESSLY USING PADS ON THE GROUND, AND IT'S NOW ON TRIAL IN 50 CARS IN LONDON. THE SYSTEMS ARE BEING DEVELOPED BY ALL CAR MANUFACTURERS SERIOUSLY. I THINK WE'LL SEE QUITE A LARGE NUMBER OF SYSTEMS OUT THERE IN FIVE YEARS' TIME. PRETTY EXCITING? > IT IS EXCITING. THEIR TECHNOLOGY WILL ALSO BE USED IN THE FORTHCOMING FORMULA-E CHAMPIONSHIP FOR ELECTRIC VEHICLES, AND THEIR NEXT PROJECT'S EVEN MORE AMBITIOUS. WE HAVE PADS SITTING UNDER THE ROAD, AND AS THE VEHICLE MOVES ACROSS THESE PADS, WE TRANSFER A WELL OF POWER TO ENABLE IT TO DRIVE RATHER THAN HAVING IT OPERATING OFF THE BATTERIES. THAT'S RIGHT ` AN ELECTRICAL CHARGE FROM THE ROAD. JUST A CONTINUOUS SOURCE OF POWER THAT YOU WON'T EVEN KNOW IS THERE, AND IT WILL BE A LOT CHEAPER THAN USING PETROL. I'M SOLD. > (CHUCKLES) WELL, WE'LL SIGN YOU UP NOW. THE PAIR HAVE EVERY REASON TO LAUGH. THEY NOW HAVE MORE THAN 60 PATENTS. FREQUENTLY, WE WERE TOLD, 'NO, THIS ISN'T GOING TO WORK.' OR, 'WE'VE TRIED IT. IT'S NOT POSSIBLE.' UM, THE NAYSAYERS WERE VERY DOMINANT TO BEGIN WITH. 'UH, IT JUST ISN'T POSSIBLE. 'IF IT WAS POSSIBLE, SOMEONE WOULD HAVE DONE IT A HUNDRED YEARS AGO.'

ALL: HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DEAR BUNGY. 25 YEARS AGO, AFTER SOME HEADLINE-GRABBING EXPLOITS, AJ HACKETT AND HENRY VAN ASCH CAME UP WITH A HARE-BRAINED IDEA TO SELL BUNGEE JUMPS TO TOURISTS IN QUEENSTOWN. THEY WERE INTRIGUED, AND THE MINUTE THEY DID IT, THEY GOT OVER THAT NERVOUSNESS THAT YOU DO WHEN YOU DO YOUR FIRST JUMP. THEY LEFT HERE BUZZING, AND IT'S CONTINUED ON. THEY WERE GRANTED A CONSENT FOR THE WORLD'S FIRST COMMERCIAL BUNGEE-JUMPING OPERATION, BUT ONLY FOR 30 DAYS. WE KNOW THE PHILOSOPHY OF ONE STEP AT A TIME. (LAUGHS) SEVERAL GIANT LEAPS AND A QUARTER OF A CENTURY LATER AND THERE'S NO LOOKING BACK. JUST THE ESSENCE OF BUNGEE, IT'S A PERSONAL CHALLENGE, AND IT'S NOT REALLY REPLICATED IN ANY OTHER THING. YOU'VE GOT TO STAND OUT THERE BY YOURSELF AND DO IT ON YOUR OWN. TODAY IS ALL ABOUT CELEBRATIONS. EXTREMELY NERVOUS. WE COME OVER EVERY YEAR. IT'S ALL THE SCHOOLS FROM ROUND THE AREA GET INVITED, THREE, TWO, ONE! ...TO STUNT JUMPS,... AARGH...! ...EVERYONE IS IN THE BIRTHDAY BUNGEE SPIRIT.

OUR CORRESPONDENT STEVE MARSHALL REPORTS. A FEW WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT AND A PAT ON THE BACK ` THE ALL WHITES ELDER STATESMAN IVAN VICELICH'S IMPACT OFF THE FIELD APPEARS JUST AS IMPORTANT AS IT IS ON IT. HE'S GOT THE AFFECTIONATE NICKNAME OF THE GODFATHER IN THE SIDE. YEAH, HE'S BEEN AROUND A LOT LONGER THAN MOST OF US, SO, YOU KNOW, IT'S ALWAYS GOOD TO TAP INTO HIS EXPERIENCE AND GET HIS THOUGHTS, ESPECIALLY IN BIG GAMES LIKE THIS. VICELICH RETIRED FROM INTERNATIONAL FOOTBALL IN 2008, BUT RETURNED A YEAR LATER TO HELP OUT A DEPLETED ALL WHITES AT THE CONFEDERATIONS CUP. HE'S KEPT THE YOUNGSTERS AT BAY EVER SINCE. WHETHER IT'S ME OR ANOTHER PLAYER, WE'VE JUST GOTTA GIVE IT 110%. AND WHEN WE TRAIN AND WHEN WE PLAY, WE NEED TO ALWAYS PERFORM WELL, AND I THINK THAT'S KEY FOR EVERY PLAYER. AND IF THEY KEEP DOING THAT, THEN, YOU KNOW, THEY COULD BE UP FOR SELECTION. DESPITE PLAYING AMATEUR FOOTBALL IN AUCKLAND, VICELICH'S CONSISTENCY MAKES HIM A FIRM FAVOURITE IN COACH RICKI HERBERT'S EYES. CRITICS THOUGHT HE WAS TOO OLD TO PLAY AT THE LAST WORLD CUP, AND THAT WAS THREE YEARS AGO. NOW THE QUESTION'S COME UP AGAIN, BUT, YOU KNOW, I'VE JUST BEEN FOCUSING ON MY GAME AND ENJOYING THE FOOTBALL AS WELL, AND AS LONG AS THAT HAPPENS, THEN, YOU KNOW, IT'S GOOD TO BE INVOLVED. THIS IS THE THIRD OF FOUR TRAINING SESSIONS, THE NEXT ONE TO TAKE PLACE DEEP INSIDE ENEMY TERRITORY IN MEXICO CITY. I'M EXPECTING A HOSTILE ENVIRONMENT. I MEAN, THE FOOTBALL THERE IS LIKE A RELIGION.

IT'S THE WORST BEGINNING HE'S EVER MADE IN HIS LIFE. AND I DUNNO WHY, BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, EVERYTHING WAS RIGHT FOR HIM, BUT TO DO WHAT HE DID AFTER ` JUST FANTASTIC. WITH THE OTHER TWO OF THE TOP THREE PICKS, 'CHRISTEN ME' AND 'FLY LIKE AN EAGLE', HAVING MADE THE RUNNING UP FRONT, TERROR TO LOVE SUDDENLY CAME BACK INTO THE FRAME WITH TWO-THIRDS OF THE RACE ALREADY RUN. MAN: THEY'VE A THOUSAND TO GO. AND IT'S FLY LIKE AN EAGLE A LENGTH AND A HALF OVER TERROR TO LOVE. HE'S WORKED FORWARD TO SECOND AND GOES UP TO HAVE A LOOK FOR THE LEAD, RICKY. ADDINGTON TREATED TO A SIMPLY STUNNING FINALE. IT'S TERROR TO LOVE! A LENGTH AND A HALF ` PEMBROKE BENNY, AND THEN FLY LIKE AN EAGLE, CHRISTEN ME'S OUT NOW. TERROR TO LOVE LEADS. CHRISTEN ME. FLY LIKE AN EAGLE. IT'S STILL TERROR TO LOVE. HE'S GOING TO DO IT! IT IS THE GREATEST CUP WIN OF ALL TIME! RICKY MAY TAKING HIS SEVENTH WIN IN THE GREAT RACE. IT MEANS A LOT, ACTUALLY. A FAIR BIT OF PRESSURE ON THIS RACE, TO BE FAIR, BUT, YOU KNOW, IT WASN'T ME; IT WAS THE HORSE. HE JUST WENT SUPER. LAST TIME ADDINGTON SAW THREE IN A ROW ` 53 YEARS AGO. MARTIN TASKER, ONE NEWS. TERROR TO LOVE'S VICTORY A DREAM COME TRUE FOR CO-TRAINER GRAHAM COURT. COURT'S REACTION'S PRICELESS AS THE FAVOURITE HIT THE HOME STRAIGHT. FURTHER AFIELD, VETERAN ALL BLACKS HOOKER ANDREW HORE IS RESIGNED TO THE FACT HE'S JUST DAYS AWAY FROM MAKING HIS FINAL START FOR THE ALL BLACKS. AFTER 82 TESTS, HORE IS SET FOR ONE LAST CRACK AT ENGLAND. EUROPE CORRESPONDENT GARTH BRAY REPORTS FROM LONDON. HE'S AS HUNGRY AS EVER FOR A START. IT'S LIKE A DRUG, WHEN ALL YOU WANNA DO IS PLAY ONE GAME FOR THE ALL BLACKS, AND ONCE YOU'VE HAD YOUR FIRST GO AT IT, YOU WANNA PLAY EVERY GAME. HORE HAS NO SUPER RUGBY CONTRACT AND EVERY PROSPECT OF RETIRING AFTER THIS TOUR. I'VE GOT ONE TEAM THAT'S VERY INTERESTED IN ME PLAYING FOR THEM FOR THE SEASON, SO HOPEFULLY, I CAN SIGN A FEW THINGS OFF THERE AND BE GOOD TO GO. AFTER THE RANFURLY SHIELD, WE START TRAINING, SO IT'S QUITE EXCITING TIMES. < MANIOTOTO? YEAH, THAT'S PRETTY CLOSE, YEAH. A MAN IN PAIN OR JUST LAUGHING IT OFF? WITH ANDREW HORE, IT'S HARD TO TELL. IF ANDREW HORE'S TIME AS AN ALL BLACK IS UP, THERE'D BE SOME SYMMETRY IN THAT CAREER ENDING HERE IN LONDON, WHERE IT BEGAN 82 TESTS AND 11 YEARS AGO. THEN AGAIN, ENGLAND CAME BACK THAT DAY TO HOLD ON FOR A 31-28 VICTORY, SO BEST NOT TO PUSH THE COMPARISON TOO FAR. THREE DOZEN ALL BLACKS WILL BE AVAILABLE TO PLAY AGAINST ENGLAND. SELECTORS WILL STILL BE WATCHING JULIAN SAVEA CLOSELY TO SEE IF HE'S BACK AT HIS PEAK. THIS TEAM WANTS TO PLAY REALLY WELL, WANTS TO PERFORM, AND WE DIDN'T PERFORM AS WELL AS WE WANTED TO LAST SATURDAY, AND THAT'S CREATED THE EDGE NOW. THE USUAL POST-MATCH REVIEW HAS PRODUCED FRUSTRATION. IAN FOSTER SAYS SOME OF THE DECISIONS AND RUNNING LINES AGAINST FRANCE LACKED POLISH AND FAILED TO DELIVER A KNOCK-OUT BLOW. BUT HE REFUSES TO DWELL ON THE ONE ENGLAND LANDED A YEAR AGO. WE GOT BEATEN BY A TEAM THAT PLAYED BETTER THAN US LAST YEAR. THAT'S THE ONLY ISSUE THAT... THAT'S WHAT WE LEARNT LAST YEAR. GARTH BRAY, ONE NEWS, LONDON. AUSTRALIAN LEAGUE FULLBACK BILLY SLATER HAS BEEN DETAINED AND RELEASED BY POLICE AFTER AN EARLY MORNING SCUFFLE OUTSIDE A MANCHESTER NIGHTCLUB. SLATER WAS ALLEGEDLY PUNCHED IN AN UNPROVOKED ATTACK AFTER RETURNING TO THE CLUB TO COLLECT HIS JACKET, BEFORE RETALIATING WITH SOME SWINGS OF HIS OWN. WE'VE GOTTA BE AWARE OF THE SITUATIONS WE FIND OURSELVES IN, AND, YEAH, I SUPPOSE IT'S PROBABLY A BIT OF A WAKE-UP CALL FOR EVERYONE WHEN WE DO GO OUT. SLATER WON'T BE PRESSING CHARGES AGAINST HIS 40-YEAR-OLD ATTACKER. KANGAROOS TEAMMATE JOSH PAPALII WAS ROBBED BY TWO MEN WHILE WITHDRAWING MONEY FROM AN ATM IN MANCHESTER THREE WEEKS AGO. SAMOA HAS SET UP A QUARTER-FINAL SHOWDOWN AGAINST FIJI AT THE RUGBY LEAGUE WORLD CUP. THE SAMOANS AND FRANCE HAD ALREADY QUALIFIED WHEN THEY TOOK ON EACH OTHER IN THEIR FINAL POOL MATCH AT PERPIGNAN. MAN: LEILUA BACK IN FIELD. WHAT A OFFHAND, LEILUA! GOT IN AND SCORED FOR SAMOA. WARRIORS UTILITY PITA GODINET ALSO HAD A HAND IN SAMOA'S FINAL TRY AS THEY WON 22-6. HE'S UNDENIABLY OUR TOP ROWING COACH, BUT A MAJOR RESHUFFLE MEANS DICK TONKS IS NOW TRAINING JUST A QUARTER OF THE ATHLETES HE BEGAN THE YEAR WITH. ROWING NZ SAY IT'S A COMBINATION OF EVENING OUT THE LOAD AND ALLOWING TONKS TO WORK TO HIS STRENGTHS. ABBY SCOTT REPORTS. THERE'S BEEN SOME SPRING CLEANING AT ROWING NZ. THERE'S ACCEPTANCE THAT CHANGE IS REQUIRED NOW RATHER THAN IN A YEAR FROM NOW. WHEN WE'VE DECIDED WE DIDN'T MAKE THE CHANGE EARLY ENOUGH, IT WOULD BE A MISTAKE. FOR ATHLETES LIKE JULIA EDWARD AND LUCY STRACK, THAT CHANGE MEANS A NEW COACH. EARLIER THIS YEAR, DICK TONKS WAS COACHING A WOMEN'S EIGHT AND NINE OTHER FEMALE ATHLETES. HE'S NOW COACHING JUST FOUR FEMALES AND MAHE DRYSDALE. HE DID A REALLY GOOD JOB MANAGING ALL US GIRLS, BUT, YEAH, I THINK IT BENEFITS HIM AND THE ATHLETES AS WELL. WHILE HIS ATHLETES WERE TRAINING TODAY, TONKS WAS AVOIDING OUR CAMERAS, TURNING DOWN AN INTERVIEW REQUEST TOO. HE'S NOTORIOUSLY RECLUSIVE, BUT THOSE WHO CALL HIM COACH KNOW WHAT HE'S GOOD AT. HE GETS RESULTS, AND HE GETS THE BEST OUT OF YOU, I THINK, IN THE END. TONKS' NUMEROUS CREWS FAILED TO FIRE THIS YEAR, MANAGING JUST ONE SILVER AT THE WORLD CHAMPS. ROWING NZ HOPES LEAVING HIM WITH JUST A WOMEN'S DOUBLE AND DRYSDALE WILL LEAD TO TWO MEDALS IN RIO. IF YOU LOOK BACK ON HIS RECORD, HE'S HAD MAXIMUM OF FOUR CREWS AT ANY ONE TIME IN HIS CAREER. SO THIS IS ABSOLUTELY FOCUSSED ON HIS STRENGTHS AND OUR STRENGTHS. ONE NEWS UNDERSTANDS TONKS WASN'T HAPPY WITH THE DECISION AT FIRST, BUT THERE'S A SILVER LINING FOR THE ATHLETES. IT DOES MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE IN THE FACT THAT WE GET A LITTLE BIT MORE ONE-ON-ONE COACHING, WHICH CAN MAKE BIGGER GAINS IN YOUR TECHNIQUE AND THAT SORT OF THING. PERHAPS A CHANCE FOR THE THREE-TIME FISA COACH OF THE YEAR TO ADD ANOTHER GOLD MEDAL TO HIS OLYMPIC HAUL. ABBY SCOTT, ONE NEWS. AS WE GO TO AIR TONIGHT, THE FAMILY OF THE LATE PETER FATIALOFA IS HOLDING A SERVICE TO FAREWELL THE SAMOAN RUGBY LEGEND. IT'S A BIG GET-TOGETHER BEFORE TOMORROW'S OFFICIAL FUNERAL IN MANUKAU.

WE DON'T KNOW HOW TO... WE'RE SPEECHLESS. IT'S ALL GOT US INTO SHOCK. AND WE'VE JUST GOTTA REMEMBER OUR BROTHER THE BEST WAY WE CAN. ALA'ALATOA HAS TRAVELLED FROM SYDNEY TO MOURN HIS MATE. TODAY OTHER FORMER SAMOAN PLAYERS AND RUGBY GREATS GATHERED. IT'S GONNA BE HUGE. AND IT'S NOT JUST THE PACIFIC ISLAND COMMUNITY; HE'S MUCH LOVED BY THE NZ PUBLIC. THESE PLAYERS ALONE HAVE RAISED SEVERAL THOUSAND DOLLARS ALREADY TO GO INTO A SPECIAL FUND TO HELP OUT FATIALOFA'S FAMILY, INCLUDING HIS WIFE AND EIGHT CHILDREN. WE REALLY ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO CELEBRATING THIS GUY'S LIFE. HE DOESN'T WANTS US TO BE SAD. HE WANTS US TO LIVE LIFE TO THE MAX, TAKE EVERY OPPORTUNITY AND JUST REALLY ENJOY LIFE AND DON'T TAKE THINGS TOO SERIOUSLY. FORMER TEAMMATE, BRUISING WINGER BRIAN LIMA, PERFORMED THE SIVA TAU BEFORE SAMOA TOOK ON IRELAND IN DUBLIN LAST WEEKEND. HIS OLD MATES WILL DO THE SAME TONIGHT FOR PETER FATS.
