IT'S MIDDAY. JOHN KEY UNVEILS HIS NEW-LOOK CABINET, INCLUDING A PROMOTION FOR PAULA BENNETT. A DEADLINE FOR DEMOCRACY PROTESTERS IN HONG KONG. AND AN HISTORIC VICTORY FOR SOME VERY BATTERED BUNNIES. DUE TO THE LIVE NATURE OF MIDDAY, WE APOLOGISE FOR THE LACK OF CAPTIONS FOR SOME ITEMS. BUT FIRST, THE HIGH-PROFILE HEAD OF AUCKLAND'S CENTRAL BUSINESS ASSOCIATION HAS BEEN AXED FROM HIS ROLE AS CHIEF EXECUTIVE OF 'HEART OF THE CITY'. ALEX SWNEY APPEARED IN COURT TODAY ON CHARGES OF TAX FRAUD TOTALLING MILLIONS OF DOLLARS, AND JUST HALF AN HOUR AGO HIS TERMINATION WAS ANNOUNCED. ONE NEWS REPORTER ALI VENTURAA JOINS US NOW LIVE FROM OUR AUCKLAND NEWSROOM. ALI, WHAT CAN YOU TELL US? ALEX SWNEY HAS BEEN CHAMPIONING CENTRAL AUCKLAND FOR 20 YEARS AND HAS BEEN ITS WELL-KNOWN PUBLIC FACE, BUT TODAY HE WAS FACING CHARGES OF TAX EVASION TOTALLING ALMOST $2M WITH HEAVY PENALTIES ON TOP OF THAT. A SHORT TIME LATER A BRIEF STATEMENT FROM THE HEART OF THE CITY WAS RELEASED CITING ALLEGATIONS OF IMPROPER INVOICING. MR SWNEY, WHO IS 57, FACES 39 CHARGES LAID BY THE IRD, AT LEAST ONE OF WHICH DATES BACK TO LAST CENTURY. THE HEART OF THE CITY BOARD SAYS IT'S LAUNCHED AN INDEPENDENT FORENSIC EXAMINATION OF THE ORGANISATION'S FINANCES AND THERE ARE ALREADY PLANS UNDERWAY FOR A NEW INTERIM CHIEF EXECUTIVE. AND ALI, WHAT'S NEXT FOR MR SWNEY? WE UNDERSTAND HE WILL REAPPEAR FOR A JUDGE-ONLY TRIAL. HE'LL BE BACK IN COURT NEXT MONTH. THANKS, ALI VENTURAA LIVE FROM THE AUCKLAND NEWSROOM. JUST UNDER AN HOUR AGO JOHN KEY ANNOUNCED HIS NEW CABINET LINE-UP, WITH THE PROMISE OF STEADY HANDS, BUT A BIT OF A CHANGE-UP. THE LIST FEATURES PROMOTIONS FOR A NUMBER OF WELL-KNOWN NAMES, A COUPLE OF NEW FACES IN IN CABINET AND A NEW MINISTER FOR NATIONAL SECURITY. DEPUTY POLITICAL EDITOR MICHAEL PARKIN JOINS US NOW LIVE FROM PARLIAMENT. MICHAEL, TAKE US THROUGH THE CHANGES. A BIT OF A SURPRISE WITH jOHN kIWI SHOVELLING HIMSELF OUT OF A JOB. He's becoming the Minister for national security and intelligence. AND MICHAEL, WHO ARE THE OTHER WINNERS AND LOSERS? Paula Bennett is the other big winner. She jumps up to number five in the party list. She takes that title from Judith Collins. She gets rid of social development and picks up five smaller portfolios. Another winners are Jonathan Coleman with the health portfolio. Amy Adams takes on the justice responsibilities. Maggie Barry takes on the conservation portfolio. There are couple of losers Barry Foss slips out of Cabinet and Chester borrows is not longer a Minister. I THINK IF THERE WERE LESSONS TO BE LEARNT FROM THE PREVIOUS GOVERNMENT, I THINK IT WAS REALLY A FAILURE TO REJUVENATE FAST ENOUGH AND ACTUALLY TO PROMOTE THE NEXT WAVE OF SENIOR MINISTERS. AND SO ONE OF THE BIG EMPHASIS YOU CAN SEE TODAY IS THAT WE ARE BRINGING THROUGH A GROUP OF MINISTERS THAT WE SEE AS THE NEXT WAVE OF SENIOR TALENT AND PROMOTING THEM TO THE FRONT BENCH. THE NEW EXECUTIVE WILL BE SWORN IN ON WEDNESDAY. THANKS, MICHAEL PARKIN LIVE FROM PARLIAMENT. POWER'S GRADUALLY BEING RESTORED IN EASTERN PARTS OF AUCKLAND AFTER A FIRE AT A SUBSTATION CAUSED 85,000 HOUSEHOLDS TO LOSE ELECTRICITY. THE FIRE BURNT THROUGH POWER CABLES EARLY SUNDAY MORNING, CAUSING OUTAGES TO TRAFFIC LIGHTS AND BUSINESSES AS WELL AS HOUSEHOLDERS. MOST AREAS HAD THEIR POWER RESTORED OVERNIGHT, BUT PEOPLE IN REMUERA, ST JOHNS AND ORAKEI MAY BE WITHOUT ELECTRICITY FOR ANOTHER DAY. VECTOR'S ASKING PEOPLE TO CONSERVE POWER WHERE POSSIBLE. AND WILD WEATHER IN THE WELLINGTON REGION HAS LEFT AROUND 1200 HOUSEHOLDS ARE WITHOUT POWER. AT ITS PEAK OVER 2000 CUSTOMERS WERE AFFECTED. FIRE SERVICES ARE ALSO DEALING WITH FALLEN TREES, POWER LINES AND WIND-DAMAGED ROOFS. A TRIAL INVOLVING TWO ARMY CORPORALS ACCUSED OF SEXUAL ASSAULT IS UNDERWAY AT THE HIGH COURT IN WHANGANUI. KEITH WILLIAMS COOK AND MICHAEL ISSAC GALVIN HAVE PLEADED NOT GUILTY TO CHARGES RELATING TO THE INDECENT ASSAULT AND SEXUAL VIOLATION OF A WOMAN AT THE WAIOURU ARMY CAMP IN OCTOBER 2012. IT'S ALLEGED THE INCIDENT TOOK PLACE INSIDE AN ARMY UNIMOG. A RARE BACTERIA'S SEEN AN INCREASE IN SERIOUS A STOMACH UPSETS. 68 CASES OF YERSINIA PSEUDOTUBERCULOSIS HAVE BEEN CONFIRMED IN CHRISTCHURCH, WELLINGTON AND AUCKLAND, WITH POSSIBLE OTHER CASES IN HAWKE'S BAY AND THE BAY OF PLENTY. THE BACTERIA CAUSES STOMACH CRAMPS AND SYMPTOMS SIMILAR TO APPENDICITIS. OVERSEAS OUTBREAKS HAVE BEEN LINKED TO CONTAMINATED FRUIT AND VEGETABLES. WASHING PRODUCE CAN REDUCE THE RISK. HUNDREDS OF PRO-DEMOCRACY PROTESTERS HAVE REMAINED ON THE STREETS OF HONG KONG DESPITE A GOVERNMENT DEADLINE FOR THEM TO GO HOME. THE PROTESTERS ` MANY OF THEM STUDENTS ` HAVE DEFIED CALLS BY CHIEF EXECUTIVE LEUNG CHUN-YING TO MOVE AWAY AND ALLOW CIVIL SERVANTS BACK INTO THEIR PLACES OF WORK. AUTHORITIES HAVE WARNED THERE WILL BE CONSEQUENCES IF THE PROTESTERS DON'T MOVE. THE WIFE AND CHILDREN OF MURDERED BRITISH HOSTAGE ALAN HENNING HAVE ATTENDED A MULTI-FAITH SERVICE OF REFLECTION IN MANCHESTER. THE TAXI DRIVER HAD GONE TO SYRIA ON AN AID MISSION BUT WAS CAPTURED BY ISLAMIC STATE EXTREMISTS. HE WAS MURDERED LAST WEEKEND DESPITE PLEAS FROM HIS FAMILY AND BRITISH MUSLIM LEADERS TO SET HIM FREE. THE BISHOP OF MANCHESTER DESCRIBED MR HENNING AS A MARTYR IN THE TRADITION OF JESUS CHRIST. MEANWHILE, A BRITISH TEACHER ABDUCTED BY ISLAMIC MILITANTS IN LIBYA MORE THAN FOUR MONTHS AGO HAS BEEN FREED AND SENT HOME. IT'S BELIEVED A RANSOM WAS PAID TO SECURE THE RELEASE OF DAVID BOLLAM, WHO'S IN HIS 60S. HE WAS CAPTURED WHILE FLEEING FROM AN INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL WHERE HE'D WORKED FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS. A POLITICAL PARTY ONCE DISMISSED BY THE BRITISH PRIME MINISTER AS BEING 'FULL OF FRUITCAKES AND LOONIES' LOOKS SET TO GAIN A FOOTHOLD AT WESTMINSTER. THE ANTI-IMMIGRATION UK INDEPENDENCE PARTY IS ON COURSE TO WIN A SEAT IN THE HOUSE OF COMMONS IN A BY-ELECTION LATER THIS WEEK. THE ABC'S BARBARA MILLER REPORTS. 'I DO LIKE TO BE BESIDE THE SEASIDE' GONE ARE THE DAYS WHEN HOLIDAY-GOERS FLOCKED TO CLACTON-ON-SEA. BUT THE TOWN COULD BE ABOUT TO PUT ITSELF ON THE MAP AGAIN, ALL THANKS TO THIS MAN. I'M TODAY LEAVING THE CONSERVATIVE PARTY AND JOINING UKIP. THE UK INDEPENDENCE PARTY'S NEW RECRUIT IS CONTESTING A BY-ELECTION LATER THIS WEEK IN CLACTON, AND LOCALS CAN'T SEEM TO GET ENOUGH OF THE PARTY'S TOUGH LINE ON IMMIGRATION. IT'S LOVELY, INNIT? (LAUGHS) UKIP. WHY? > BECAUSE I LIKE THEIR POLICIES OF GETTING RID OF ALL OUR IMMIGRANTS. WELL, I'M THINKING OF UKIP. BECAUSE MAINLY, HOPEFULLY, GETTING GREAT BRITAIN BACK TO GREAT BRITAIN. COS IT'S OBVIOUSLY NOT GREAT BRITAIN ANY MORE ` WE'VE GOT EVERYONE HERE. IT'S LOVELY. IT'S MARVELLOUS. UKIP IS LEAD BY NIGEL FARAGE, A PRIVATE-SCHOOL-EDUCATED FORMER COMMODITIES TRADER WHO PRESENTS HIMSELF AS A MAN OF THE PEOPLE. A KEY PART OF THE PARTY'S APPEAL IS ITS ANTI-ESTABLISHMENT STANCE. PEOPLE IN THIS COUNTRY HAVE HAD ENOUGH OF A REMOTE, UNACCOUNTABLE ELITE OF ARROGANT POLITICIANS IN WESTMINSTER TELLING US HOW TO LIVE OUR LIVES. THE HEYDAY OF ENGLISH SEASIDE TOWNS LIKE THIS ONE HAS LONG SINCE PASSED. MANY PEOPLE HERE FEEL THEY'VE BEEN LEFT BEHIND. AND THAT'S ONE REASON WHY THIS NEW PARTY, PROMISING SOMETHING DIFFERENT, HAS GOOD CHANCES OF SUCCESS HERE. AND A VICTORY HERE FOR UKIP WOULD MARK A SIGNIFICANT SEA CHANGE IN BRITISH POLITICS. THE FIRST US-BASED VICTIM OF THE EBOLA VIRUS IS FIGHTING FOR HIS LIFE AT A HOSPITAL IN TEXAS AND HAS NOT RECEIVED ANY OF THE EXPERIMENTAL MEDICINES FOR THE VIRUS FOR FEAR OF MAKING HIM SICKER. THOMAS DUNCAN BECAME ILL AFTER ARRIVING IN DALLAS FROM LIBERIA TWO WEEKS AGO, HEIGHTENING CONCERNS THAT THE EBOLA EPIDEMIC WOULD SPREAD FROM WEST AFRICA, WHERE IT BEGAN IN MARCH. MEMBERS OF MR DUNCAN'S FAMILY ARE CURRENTLY IN ISOLATION AND BEING MONITORED FOR SIGNS OF THE DISEASE. THE MAN WHO WAS ONCE ONE OF THE MOST FEARED LEADERS OF THE IMPOVERISHED CARIBBEAN COUNTRY OF HAITI HAS DIED AT THE AGE OF 63. JEAN-CLAUDE DUVALIER, KNOWN AS 'BABY DOC', SUFFERED A HEART ATTACK AT THE HAITIAN CAPITAL OF PORT-AU-PRINCE. HIS BRUTAL REGIME SPARKED A POPULAR UPRISING IN 1986, FORCING HIM INTO EXILE FOR 25 YEARS. HE RETURNED TO HAITI IN 2011. DUVALIER WAS THE WORLD'S YOUNGEST LEADER AT 19. HIS FAMILY COLLECTIVELY RULED HAITI FOR 28 YEARS. ISRAEL HAS REACTED ANGRILY TO PLANS BY SWEDEN'S NEW CENTRE-LEFT GOVERNMENT TO RECOGNISE THE SOVEREIGN STATE OF PALESTINE ` THE FIRST EUROPEAN NATION TO DO SO. THE SWEDISH AMBASSADOR TO ISRAEL HAS BEEN SUMMONED FOR A CONVERSATION, WITH THE ISRAELI GOVERNMENT CALLING SWEDEN'S ACTIONS ILL CONSIDERED. ISRAEL SAYS IT WANTS TO RESUME PEACE NEGOTIATIONS WITH THE PALESTINIAN AUTHORITY'S MAHMOUD ABBAS, BUT HE MUST DISSOLVE A GOVERNMENT FORMED WITH HAMAS ISLAMISTS WHO CONTROL GAZA. MORE THAN 142 MILLION BRAZILIANS HAVE RUSHED TO CAST THEIR VOTES IN A GENERAL ELECTION THAT IS A REFERENDUM ON INCUMBENT PRESIDENT AND EX-GUERRILLA FIGHTER DILMA ROUSSEFF. ROUSSEFF'S WORKER'S PARTY HAS BEEN IN POWER FOR 12 YEARS. IT BOASTS STRONG SOCIAL PROGRAMMES THAT HAVE LIFTED MILLIONS OUT OF POVERTY. BUT THERE HAVE BEEN WIDESPREAD ANTI-GOVERNMENT PROTESTS OVER BRAZIL'S POOR PUBLIC SERVICES AND HEAVY TAX BURDEN. THE DESERT TENT CITY OF MINA, JUST OUTSIDE THE HOLY CITY OF MECCA, HAS SEEN THOUSANDS OF MUSLIMS END THEIR FIVE-DAY PILGRIMAGE WITH A STONING RITUAL. THE FIVE-DAY HAJJ IS MEANT TO CLEANSE THE FAITHFUL OF SIN AND IS REQUIRED OF ALL ABLE-BODIED MUSLIMS AT LEAST ONCE IN THEIR LIVES. THIS YEAR, NUMBERS ARE DOWN BY AROUND 8000. PILGRIMS FROM THE EBOLA-HIT COUNTRIES OF WEST AFRICA WERE DENIED VISAS TO VISIT SAUDI ARABIA. STILL TO COME ON MIDDAY ` THE SHARE MARKET AND BUSINESS NEWS. THEN IN SPORT, A FULL REPORT ON SOUTH SYDNEY'S GLORIOUS DAY. AND IN SUCH ATROCIOUS CONDITIONS WHICH LED TO A SERIOUS ACCIDENT, WHY WAS THE JAPANESE GRAND PRIX EVEN ALLOWED TO START? $ WITH ME NOW IS BADEN CARTER FROM CRAIGS INVESTMENT PARTNERS. THIS ITEM WILL BE CAPTIONED LIVE. FOR MORE, GO TO ONENEWS.CO.NZ AND CLICK ON 'BUSINESS'. SUMMERSET HAVE NUMBERS? 68 new and 31 resale of units. The second half of the year is producing stronger sales in the first half. It looks like the company is on track to achieve their build for the year. US JOBS FIGURES. BIG SPIKE. 248,000 NEW JOBS versus 215 expected. It gives heart of the Federal reserve. That will give them heart to continue on their track, and markets responded accordingly. THANK YOU, BADEN CARTER, FROM CRAIGS INVESTMENT PARTNERS. AN EMOTIONAL CLICHE-RIDDEN GRAND FINAL STRAIGHT OUT OF HOLLYWOOD WOULD HAVE HAD OSCAR-WINNING RABBITOHS OWNER RUSSELL CROWE RETURNING THE SCRIPT TO THE WRITERS FOR BEING TOO CORNY. INSTEAD HE WAS SHARING TEARS WITH HIS LEADING MAN AFTER A TRULY HEROIC VICTORY PERFORMANCE OVER THE BULLDOGS. MARTIN TASKER REPORTS. ALMOST 85,000 AUDIENCE. FIVE SECONDS ON THE CLOCK. ALMOST 84,000 AUDIENCE. FIVE SECONDS ON THE CLOCK. THE GRAND FINAL STAR IS BORN. BURGESS THEN TAKEN BY GRAHAM. SOMETHING'S HAPPENED WITH SAM BURGESS. IT'S THE CHEEKBONE, PERHAPS. IT WAS THE CHEEKBONE. FRACTURED IN A HEAD CRASH. AS HIS CONCERENED MOTHER LOOKS ON, HE PLAYS ON, HELPING LEAD SOUTH SYDNEY AGAINST EQUALLY DETERMINED BULLDOGS WHO SOAK IT UP UNTIL 20TH MINUTE. JOHNSTON HAS SCORED! THIS LATE-EDITED ITEM WILL BE CAPTIONED LIVE. The game balanced until another Burgess tipped it. More drama as another head clash sees another stretchered off. Look at the tears on the face of Burgess. More hugs and more tears as the gladiator meets a real one. Russell, good on you, buddy. What a man! What a club! THE ALL BLACKS ARE FACING SOME SERIOUS INJURY CONCERNS FOLLOWING YESTERDAY'S RECORD-ENDING LOSS TO THE SPRINGBOKS. HALFBACK TAWERA KERR-BARLOW WILL BE FACING SURGERY FOR A TORN LIGAMENT AND COULD BE OUT FOR UP TO NINE MONTHS. COACH STEVE HANSEN SAYS THE TEAM HAS A STEELY RESOLVE FROM THEIR DEFEAT, BUT IT'S IMPORTANT TO REST UP BEFORE THEIR NEXT GAME. IT'S HOW WE LOOK AT THE GAME THAT'S IMPORTANT. AND WE WON'T LOOK AT IT ANY DIFFERENTLY BECAUSE WE LOST; WE'LL BE VERY OPEN AND HONEST WITH OUR DISCUSSIONS, AND WE'LL LOOK AT THE THINGS THAT WE KNOW AND DO THOSE THINGS WELL, AND THEN WE'LL WIN THE GAME. THE ALL BLACKS FACE OFF AGAINST AUSTRALIA FOR THE BLEDISLOE CUP ON OCTOBER 18TH. A SERIOUS CRASH HAS MARRED LEWIS HAMILTON'S FORMULA WIN AT THE JAPAN GRAND PRIX. THE RACE WENT AHEAD IN ATROCIOUS CONDITIONS, AND NOW FRENCHMAN JULES BIANCHI IS IN INTENSIVE CARE. THE BBC'S DAN ROAN REPORTS. WITH THE TYPHOON CLOSING IN ON JAPAN, THERE HAD BEEN CONCERNS ALL WEEKEND ABOUT THE WEATHER CONDITIONS FOR THE RACE AT SUZUKA. THE RAIN WAS SO HEAVY AT THE START, THE SAFETY CAR HAD TO LEAD THE CARS OFF FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE 2011. WHEN MARCUS ERICSSON LOST CONTROL OF HIS CATERHAM AFTER JUST TWO LAPS, THE RACE WAS SUSPENDED FOR 20 MINUTES UNTIL CONDITIONS IMPROVED. EVENTUALLY, RACING GOT UNDERWAY. AND JUST AFTER THE HALFWAY MARK, LEWIS HAMILTON OVERTOOK HIS MERCEDES TEAMMATE NICO ROSBERG FOR THE LEAD. WITH 10 LAPS TO GO, THE BRITON WAS ON COURSE FOR VICTORY. BUT THE WEATHER WORSENED, AND ADRIAN SUTIL CRASHED HEAVILY. HE WAS OK, BUT WHAT THE TV CAMERAS DIDN'T SHOW WAS THE LAP LATER AND JULES BIANCHI COMING OFF AT THE SAME SPOT. THE FRENCHMAN NEEDED URGENT MEDICAL ATTENTION, AND THE RACE WAS BROUGHT TO AN EARLY FINISH. BIANCHI WAS TAKEN TO HOSPITAL, WHERE A SCAN SHOWED HE SUFFERED A SEVERE HEAD INJURY. AFTER AN OPERATION, HE'LL BE MOVED TO INTENSIVE CARE, WHERE HE'LL BE MONITORED. Lewis Hamilton extended his lead. YOU COULD SEE AS YOU WERE SLOWING DOWN, THE SAFETY. YOU COULD SEE THERE WAS SOME COMMOTION AND THE CAR LOOKED REALLY BADLY DAMAGED RIGHT, SO, YEAH, JUST HOPE THAT HE'S OK. THE HEAVYWEIGHT SHOWDOWN WAS MEANT TO BE ON THE PITCH, BUT IT WAS THE MANAGERS WHO TOOK CENTRE STAGE IN THE ENGLISH PREMIER LEAGUE FOOTBALL CLASH BETWEEN CHELSEA AND ARSENAL TODAY ` THIS YELLOW CARD TO CHELSEA DEFENDER GARY CAHILL PROMPTING THE SIDELINE BIFF BETWEEN ARSENAL BOSS ARSENE WENGER AND CHELSEA COUNTERPART JOSE MOURINHO. AND NOW WENGER AND MOURINHO ARE GOING AT IT ON THE TOUCHLINE, GESTICULATING, EXCHANGING INSULTS. BUT MOURINHO WOULD HAVE THE LAST LAUGH ` HIS SIDE'S 2-NIL WIN EXTENDING CHELSEA'S LEAD AT THE TOP OF THE TABLE TO FIVE POINTS, DIEGO COSTA SCORING HIS NINTH GOAL IN SEVEN MATCHES. AND MANCHESTER UNITED HAVE JUMPED UP TO FOURTH WITH A 2-1 WIN OVER EVERTON, COLOMBIAN STAR RADAMEL FALCAO'S FIRST GOAL FOR THE CLUB THE WINNER. STILL TO COME ON MIDDAY ` I'LL BE BACK WITH THE AFTERNOON WEATHER. AND A BUBBLE-BRAINED IDEA THAT'S LEFT AN AMERICAN ADVENTURER DEFLATED. How do you stay in the home you've worked a lifetime for?

THE BOSS OF AUCKLAND'S HEART OF THE CITY, ALEX SWNEY, HAS LOST HIS JOB AFTER ALLEGATIONS OF TAX EVASION TOTALLING ALMOST $2M. AND THE ALL BLACKS ARE EVALUATING THEIR DEFEAT AGAINST THE SPRINGBOKS, ANNOUNCING INJURED HALFBACK TAWERA KERR-BARLOW WILL NEED SURGERY FOR A TORN LIGAMENT. NOW TO THE WEATHER. THE UNSETTLED SPRING WEATHER CONTINUES. IT'S WET AND WINDY FOR MOST OF THE COUNTRY TODAY. A LOW ROLLS EASTWARDS, SWEEPING RAIN WITH IT. ANOTHER LOW SPREADS AWAY TO THE SOUTH-EAST. FOR WEATHER, SEE ONENEWS.CO.NZ NOW, WE OFTEN BRING YOU INSPIRATIONAL TALES OF HUMAN ACHIEVEMENT, BUT THIS NEXT STORY IS NOT ONE OF THEM. ENDURANCE RUNNER REZA BALUCHI HAD THE IDEA OF RUNNING ACROSS 1000 MILES OF OCEAN FROM MIAMI TO BARBADOS INSIDE HIS HOMEMADE HYDRO POD TO INSPIRE PEOPLE TO A BETTER FUTURE. THE LOCAL COASTGUARD WARNED MR BALUCHI AGAINST THE PERILOUS TRIP, SAYING HE'D BE ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO SPOT IF HE GOT INTO TROUBLE. THE ADVENTURER IGNORED THAT ADVICE AND PUSHED AHEAD, ONLY TO END UP EXHAUSTED AND IN NEED OF RESCUE 70 MILES LATER. THANKS FOR JOINING US. THE ONE NEWS HOUR WILL BE HERE AT 6. GOOD AFTERNOON.
