NEW LINE-UP OF CABINET MINISTERS? AND IF YOU FEEL LIKE YOU'RE STUCK IN THE RAT RACE, SPARE A THOUGHT FOR THIS GUY RUNNING ON AN INFLATABLE HAMSTER WHEEL IN THE MIDDLE OF THE OCEAN. DUE TO THE LIVE NATURE OF TONIGHT, WE APOLOGISE FOR THE LACK OF CAPTIONS FOR SOME ITEMS. THOUSAND OF AUCKLANDERS ARE FACING YET ANOTHER NIGHT WITHOUT POWER. THE POWER COMPANIES SAY THEY'RE DOING ALL THEY CAN TO GET HOMES AND BUSINESSES BACK ON THE GRID, BUT THAT HASN'T STOPPED THE PRIME MINISTER CALLING FOR AN INQUIRY. AS DARKNESS FALLS ON THE CITY, THE BRUNNER FAMILY'S MAKING DO AS BEST THEY CAN. WE'VE HAD TO BE RESOURCEFUL IN WHAT WE DO. LIKE LAST NIGHT WE MANAGED TO HAVE A BIT OF POWER ON THE LAPTOP, SO WE WATCHED THE AVATAR MOVIE ALL TOGETHER, CROUCHED CLOSELY AROUND THE COMPUTER SCREEN. WE HAD ALL THE CANDLES LIT UP FOR DINNER FOR THEM IT'S AN INCONVENIENCE, BUT FOR LOCAL BUSINESSES, IT'S DEVASTATING. ALL OF OUR BREADS WERE IN THE OVENS, SO WE JUST HAD TO RID OF THOSE. WE COULDN'T DO ANYTHING WITH THEM. FLETCHER BUILDING LOST MILLIONS IN PRODUCTION. IT'S INCREDIBLY FRUSTRATING THAT WE HAVE TO STOP PRODUCTION FOR TWO TO THREE DAYS AND IT PUTS A LOT OF PRESSURE ON OUR WORKERS TO GET THE PLANTS BACK UP AND RUNNING. AUCKLAND'S LARGEST SHOPPING CENTRE ` ALMOST A MILLION DOLLARS IN SALES EVERY DAY, GONE. THE COVER FOR BUSINESSES IS GOING TO BE THE LOSS OF CONSUMABLES, AND THE NEXT ROUND IS GOING TO BE A LOSS OF TURNOVER, SO BUSINESS DISRUPTION INSURANCE. BUT THEY MIGHT NOT HAVE IT. I THINK YOU'LL FIND MANY SMALL BUSINESSES DON'T AND CAN'T AFFORD IT. AS THEIR CREWS WORK TO RECONNECT RESIDENTS, TRANSPOWER AND VECTOR SAY THEY STILL DON'T KNOW WHAT CAUSED THE FIRE OR WHO'LL PAY FOR IT. WE'RE NOT GOING TO GET INTO THE ISSUE OF COMPENSATION. IT'S TOO EARLY UNTIL WE ESTABLISH A CLEAR IDEA ABOUT WHAT'S GONE ON. IT'S LIKELY THERE'LL BE A GOVERNMENT PROBE TOO. THERE WILL NEED TO BE AN INQUIRY INTO WHAT EFFECTIVELY WENT WRONG, BUT ALSO THE REDUNDANCY AND THE RESPONSE TO WHAT WENT WRONG. TRANSPOWER SAYS TENS OF MILLIONS HAVE BEEN SPENT ON THE PENROSE SUBSTATION OVER THE YEARS TO UPGRADE AND PROTECT SUPPLY. BUT FOR THOSE STILL WITHOUT LIGHT, POWER OR HOT WATER, THAT'S COLD COMFORT. DAMIAN CHRISTIE, ONE NEWS. A QUICK UPDATE FOR SOME OF THE AUCKLAND SUBURBS STILL AFFECTED. VECTOR SAYS IT HOPES TO HAVE THE POWER RECONNECTED IN SYLVIA PARK AT 1 AM, MT WELLINGTON AT 4AM AND REMUERA AT AROUND 7AM. FOR ALL THE LATEST INFORMATION ON THE POWER SITUATION, CHECK OUT OUR WEBSITE ONE NEWS.CO.NZ WHERE PLENTY OF PEOPLE ARE TELLING US HOW THEY'RE COPING WITH THE BLACKOUTS. AND AROUND 11,000 PROPERTIES ARE WITHOUT POWER IN THE LOWER NORTH ISLAND AFTER 100KM/H WINDS DOWNED TREES AND POWER LINES. THESE PICTURES, SENT IN BY A ONE NEWS VIEWER, SHOW STRONG GALES WHIPPING UP SEAS AND BATTERING MOTORISTS ALONG WELLINGTON'S EASTBOURNE COAST. THOSE HIT BY POWER OUTAGES ARE SPREAD ACROSS A WIDE AREA, INCLUDING MANAWATU, WAIRARAPA AND TARARUA. THE LOCAL POWER COMPANY EXPECTS MOST TO BE BACK ON THE GRID TOMORROW. THE WEATHER'S ALSO CAUSED COMMUTER CHAOS IN THE CAPITAL. A FALLEN TREE DAMAGED OVERHEAD TRAIN LINES AND CACELLED SERVICES WHICH HAS AFFECTED CUSTOMERS ON THE HUTT VALLEY AND WAIRARAPA LINES. THE WELLINGTON HOME OF DIRTY POLITICS AUTHOR NICKY HAGER HAS BEEN RAIDED BY POLICE. COMPUTERS, DOCUMENTS AND OTHER ITEMS WERE SEIZED AS PART OF THEIR INVESTIGATION INTO MATERIAL USED IN THE BOOK. DIRTY POLITICS FEATURED PROMINENTLY IN THE ELECTION CAMPAIGN AND RESULTED IN A COMPLAINT TO POLICE FROM BLOGGER CAMERON SLATER WHO SAYS HIS COMPUTER WAS HACKED. MR HAGER SAYS THE POLICE RAID LASTED 10 HOURS. THEY MADE IT THEIR BUSINESS TO TAKE OVER OUR HOUSE FOR A DAY AND GO THROUGH EVERYTHING THEY COULD, THROUGH EVERYONE'S BEDROOMS AND EVERYWHERE, AND IT WAS A COMPLETELY POINTLESS EXERCISE, BECAUSE THERE WAS NOTHING IN THE HOUSE ABOUT MY SOURCES. WELLINGTON POLICE ARE ASKING FOR ANYONE WITH INFORMATION ABOUT THE CASE TO COME FORWARD. IN A MAJOR BREAK WITH TRADITION, THE PRIME MINISTER HAS HANDED OVER RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE COUNTRY'S SPY AGENCIES. AND AS DANIEL FAITAUA REPORTS, THAT WASN'T THE ONLY SURPRISE JOHN KEY REVEALED TODAY. AS THE WAVE OF ATTACKS AGAINST ISLAMIC STATE MILITANTS ENDURE IN SYRIA, OUR PRIME MINISTER IS SIGNALLING NZ MAY NOT BE IMMUNE FROM ISIS TERROR THREATS. SO TO HELP COUNTER THOSE RISKS, JOHN KEY'S SHAKING UP NATIONAL SECURITY OPERATIONS. HE'LL HEAD A NEWLY CREATED MINISTRY FOR SECURITY AND INTELLIGENCE. ATTORNEY-GENERAL CHRIS FINLAYSON TAKES ON THE ROLES OF MINISTER RESPONSIBLE FOR THE GCSB AND MINISTER IN CHARGE OF THE SIS, WHICH HAVE UNTIL NOW BEEN HELD BY THE PRIME MINISTER. IT WON'T STOP ME HAVING A SENSE OF WHO A WARRANT IS NECESSARILY ISSUED AGAINST, BUT I WON'T NECESSARILY BE THE SIGNATORY ON THAT WARRANT. BUT OPPOSITION PARTIES SAY THE CHANGES ARE AN ADMISSION OF FAILURE. IT HAS BEEN THE TRADITION ALWAYS THAT THE PRIME MINISTER HAS OVERSIGHT OF GCSB AND THE SIS AND WE THINK IT SHOULD CONTINUE. THERE'S BEEN A SERIES OF MISTAKES BY THE GCSB AND SIS. THE MINISTER RESPONSIBLE FOR THEM WAS, OF COURSE, THE PRIME MINISTER HIMSELF. INSTEAD, THE PRIME MINISTER UNVEILED HIS NEW CABINET. THIS FORMER GARDENING SHOW HOST ONE OF HIS TOP 20 MPS TAKING ON A NUMBER OF PORTFOLIOS, INCLUDING ARTS CULTURE AND HERITAGE. I AM VERY GRATEFUL TO THE PRIME MINISTER FOR ACKNOWLEDGING THAT I HAVE A ROLL TO PLAY IN WHAT I THINK IS GOING TO BE A VERY EXCITING TERM. FORMER SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT MINISTER PAULA BENNETT NOW THE MOST POWERFUL WOMAN IN NATIONAL'S RANKS, TAKING THE NUMBER FIVE SPOT WITH FIVE WIDE-RANGING PORTFOLIOS. AMY ADAMS MAKES IT ONTO THE FRONT BENCH AS JUSTICE MINISTER. JONATHAN COLEMAN TAKES OVER HEALTH COUPLED WITH SPORT. MICHAEL WOODHOUSE GETS THE ROLE OF POLICE MINISTER FROM ANNE TOLLEY, WHO MOVES TO SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT. BUT WHERE THERE ARE WINNERS, THERE HAVE TO BE LOSERS. CRAIG FOSS IS DUMPED FROM CABINET AND CHESTER BURROWS IS NO LONGER A MINISTER. THE NEW CABINET LINE-UP WILL BE SWORN IN ON WEDNESDAY. TWO SOLDIERS ARE ON TRIAL ACCUSED OF SEXUALLY ASSAULTING A WOMAN IN A UNIMOG ARMY TRUCK. THE PAIR DENY A TOTAL OF SIX CHARGES IN RELATION TO AN INCIDENT AFTER A PARTY AT THE WAIOURU ARMY BASE TWO YEARS AGO. SARAH WELLS WAS AT THE HIGH COURT IN WHANGANUI. KEITH WILLIAMS COOK AND MICHAEL ISSAC GALVIN ARE FACING CHARGES OF INDECENT ASSAULT AND SEXUAL VIOLATION. HOW DO YOU PLEAD TO THAT CHARGE? GUILTY OR NOT GUILTY? > NOT GUILTY. THE CROWN SAYS TWO YEARS AGO THEY ALLEGEDLY APPROACHED A WOMAN WHO WAS WALKING HOME ALONE, FOLLOWING AN 'OCTOBER FEST' SOCIAL EVENT AT THE WAIOURU MILITARY CAMP, AND ASKED HER TO HAVE SEX. THESE TWO MEN, GO TOO FAR, THEY GO WAY TOO FAR. THE CROWN CLAIMS THE MEN FORCED THEMSELVES UPON THE WOMAN AT THE SAME TIME. WHEN SHE IS SAYING NO, NOT ONCE, NOT TWICE, SHE IS CLEARLY SAYING NO AND MOVING AWAY FROM THEM. IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN ABUNDANTLY CLEAR TO THEM THAT SHE WAS NOT CONSENTING, AND, BY THE WAY, ALL THIS HAPPENS IN THE ROMANTIC LOCATION OF A UNIMOG ARMY TRUCK. BUT THE DEFENCE SAYS THE ACCUSED BELIEVED IT WAS CONSENSUAL ` SENDING TEXT MESSAGES TO EACH OTHER ABOUT THE INCIDENT. THEY DIDN'T THINK THEY WERE IN TROUBLE, AND IT'S ONE GUY SAYING TO THE OTHER ` YOU'VE GOT THEM IN FRONT OF YOU ` 'BRO, MAKE SURE YOU GET THAT GIRL'S NUMBER SO WE CAN DO IT AGAIN'. THE WOMAN'S POLICE INTERVIEW WAS PLAYED TO THE COURT. SHE TOLD POLICE SHE WASN'T FORCED TO GET INTO THE UNIMOG TRUCK WITH THE TWO MEN BUT SHE STILL FELT SCARED. SHE'LL BE GIVING MORE EVIDENCE IN PERSON TOMORROW. MORE THAN 20 WITNESSES ARE EXPECTED TO BE CALLED DURING THE FOUR-DAY TRIAL. SARAH WELLS, ONE NEWS. A MAN WHO'S CHAMPIONED AUCKLAND CITY FOR MANY YEARS FACES 39 CHARGES OF TAX EVASION INVOLVING MILLIONS OF DOLLARS. ALEX SWNEY'S NOW LOST HIS JOB AS THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OF 'HEART OF THE CITY', AN ORGANISATION PROMOTING AUCKLAND. INLAND REVENUE ALLEGES HE DID NOT PAY NEARLY $2M IN TAX AND AN EXTRA $1.4M IN PENALTY PAYMENTS. MR SWNEY HAD MANY, MANY FRIENDS ALL AROUND AUCKLAND, AND, LIKE ALL OF US, THEY WILL BE SHOCKED, DISMAYED AND, QUITE FRANKLY, SADDENED AT WHAT'S HAPPENED. MR SWNEY IS DENYING ALL CHARGES AND WILL REAPPEAR IN COURT NEXT MONTH. CANTERBURY APPEARS TO BE THE WORST HIT REGION OF A NASTY GASTRO BUG SWEEPING THE COUNTRY, WHICH MIMICS APPENDICITIS. HEALTH OFFICIALS NOW BELIEVE RETAIL SUPPLIES OF CARROTS AND LETTUCE ARE BEHIND THE OUTBREAK OF YERSINIA PSEUDO-TUBERCULOSIS, WHICH IS BELIEVED TO HAVE PEAKED IN THE PAST MONTH. THERE HAVE BEEN MORE THAN 100 CONFIRMED CASES OF THE BUG WITH SOME PATIENTS NEEDING HOSPITAL TREATMENT. SO FAR WE HAVE HAD 101 CONFIRMED CASES NATIONWIDE, WITH 41 FURTHER SUSPECT CASES. AND OF THOSE 140 OR SO CASES, ABOUT HALF ARE FROM CHRISTCHURCH OR THE CANTERBURY REGION. CASES ARE NOW SAID TO BE DROPPING OFF, BUT AUTHORITIES ARE STILL LOOKING FOR THE DIRECT SOURCE OF THE OUTBREAK. A FREELANCE PHOTOGRAPHER IS BACK IN COURT IN WELLINGTON TO PREVENT FOUR IMAGES TAKEN BY HIM FROM BEING RELEASED TO THE MEDIA. PHOTOGRAPHS OF THE 2012 CARTERTON BALLOON TRAGEDY WERE PART OF THE EVIDENCE USED BY A CORONIAL INQUIRY INTO THE DEATHS OF 11 PEOPLE. HE'S ASKING THE HIGH COURT TO OVERTURN A DECISION BY THE CORONER ALLOWING TVNZ AND OTHER MEDIA TO PUBLISH SOME PHOTOGRAPHS OF THE BALLOON IN THE AIR. A PARTICULAR CONCERN OF MR WALKER IS NOT SO MUCH THE ONE-OFF BROADCASTING OF THE IMAGES BUT THE FACT THAT IF THE IMAGES GO ON TVNZ'S WEBSITE, THEY BECOME LOST TO HIM FOREVER. LEGAL COUNSEL FOR TVNZ ARGUED THE RELEASE OF THE PHOTOS IS IN THE PUBLIC INTEREST AND COPYRIGHT LAW SHOULD NOT GET IN THE WAY OF JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS. JUSTICE ALAN MACKENZIE HAS RESERVED HIS DECISION. IN A WORLD FIRST, SCIENTISTS ARE DRILLING INTO THE SOUTH ISLAND'S ALPINE FAULT TO TRY TO FIND OUT WHAT THE NEXT 'BIG ONE' WILL LOOK LIKE. THERE'S A ONE IN FOUR CHANCE OF THE FAULT RUPTURING IN A MAGNITUDE EIGHT QUAKE IN THE NEXT 50 YEARS, SO SCIENTISTS ARE DRILLING INTO THE GROUND NEAR WHATAROA TO HAVE A LOOK BEFORE THAT HAPPENS. JOY REID WENT TO CHECK IT OUT. THIS DRILL HAS ITS WORK CUT OUT. IT'S OPERATING 24/7 RAIN, HAIL OR SHINE, HELPING SCIENTISTS TO DISCOVER WHAT THE ALPINE FAULT LOOKS LIKE BEFORE IT RUPTURES. YOU NEED TO KNOW WHAT A FAULT LOOKS LIKE BEFORE AN EARTHQUAKE IN ORDER TO UNDERSTAND WHAT HAPPENS DURING AN EARTHQUAKE. THE ALPINE FAULT STRETCHES 650KM UP THE SOUTH ISLAND. IT RUNS AT AN ANGLE DEEP INTO THE EARTH, SO SCIENTISTS ARE DRILLING DOWN ABOUT A KILOMETRE TO REACH IT. IT'S ABSOLUTELY LIKE GOLD DUST IN A HAY STACK. IT'S ONLY 1CM OR 2CM THICK. SO, HOW MANY SAMPLES DID YOU GET IN THAT RUN? AND WHERE THE PLATES CONVERGE, SO TOO DO THE SCIENTISTS. 100 OF THEM, IN FACT, FROM 12 DIFFERENT COUNTRIES, BECAUSE THIS IS THE FIRST TIME A MAJOR FAULT'S EVER BEEN DRILLED BEFORE AN EARTHQUAKE. THERE'S A ONE-IN-FOUR CHANCE OF THE ALPINE FAULT RUPTURING IN THE NEXT 50 YEARS, AND SO SCIENTISTS ARE HOPING THAT BY LOOKING AT THE ALPINE FAULT ITSELF, THEY'LL BE ABLE TO TELL WHAT THE EARTHQUAKE WILL LOOK LIKE. WHAT WE CAN DO IS PROVIDE NZ SOCIETY OF A REALISTIC ESTIMATE OF THE EFFECTS ` YOU KNOW, HOW MUCH WILL THE GROUND SHAKE, OR HOW FAR IS THE GROUND GOING TO BE DISPLACED? EVERYTHING THAT COMES OUT OF THE DRILL HOLE IS BEING CAREFULLY SCRUTINISED. EACH PIECE IS RECORDED, THEN TAKEN AWAY FOR CARBON DATING. AND ONCE DRILLED, INSTRUMENTS WILL BE INSTALLED IN THE BOREHOLE, WHICH COULD CONTRIBUTE TO AN EARTHQUAKE WARNING SYSTEM. IF YOU CAN DETECT THAT RUPTURE EARLY, THEN YOU CAN TELL PEOPLE POTENTIALLY MORE THAN A MINUTE BEFORE THE SHAKING STARTS AT THEIR LOCATION. THERE IS NO WARNING SYSTEM IN NZ AT THE MOMENT, BUT THAT IS SOMETHING ON THE RADAR THAT HOPEFULLY OUR WORK WILL HELP TO DEVELOP. BUT FIRST, THERE'S TWO MONTHS OF DRILLING TO BE DONE. A NEW CHARITY'S COME UP WITH AN INVENTIVE WAY TO HELP KIWI KIDS WHO HAVE MOBILITY DIFFICULTIES GET MOVING. VAVEGA TUITULOA (7) HAS SPENT HIS LIFE BEHIND WHEELS, LIVING WITH CEREBRAL PALSY. BUT NEVER HAVE THE WHEELS LOOKED LIKE THIS. THE SMILE LIT UP AS SOON AS WE GOT HIM MOBILE. WE'RE TALKING AN EAR-TO-EAR KIND OF GRIN. AND FAIR ENOUGH ` ALL OF A SUDDEN HE'S DRIVING HIS VERY OWN BMW THANKS TO CHARITY GO BABY GO. WE'RE JUST A STANDALONE CHARITY IN NZ AIMED AT GETTING CHILDREN WITH MOBILITY ISSUES OUT PLAYING WITH OTHER KIDS. THE ISSUE IS THAT YOUNG CHILDREN DON'T HAVE ACCESS TO MOTORISED WHEELCHAIRS BEFORE THE AGE OF 8. KIDS WITH REDUCED MOBILITY HAVE REDUCED ABILITY TO DEVELOP, REDUCED ABILITY TO PLAY, AND BECAUSE OF THAT, THEIR SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT IS IMPAIRED. BUT THIS IS A WAY TO GET AROUND THAT ISSUE ` TURNING TOYS INTO CARS. THE IDEA ORIGINATED IN AMERICA AND HAS PROVED WILDLY POPULAR. HERE THEY'RE STARTING WITH THREE CHILDREN. LILLI IS ONE OF THEM. LILLI'S GOT A RARE CHROMOSOME DISORDER. SO WE'VE HAD TROUBLES WITH HER WITH MOVING, WITH CRAWLING. BUT LILLI'S GETTING THIS RACY WEE NUMBER, AND THE FAMILY IS PUMPED. SHE'S AS SHARP AS A NAIL IN HER MIND, BUT JUST BEING ABLE TO EXPLORE THINGS, IT'LL BE VERY VERY GOOD. THE PLAN NOW IS TO MODIFY EACH OF THESE THREE CARS TO SUIT THE INDIVIDUAL CHILD. LILLI IN THE YELLOW CAR, FOR EXAMPLE, NEEDS THE ACCELERATOR BROUGHT CLOSER, AND LIKE ANY YOUNG DRIVER, A PRETTY NEAT SOUND SYSTEM ADDED. THE BENEFITS ARE ENDLESS FOR THESE DESERVING KIDS. NOT LEAST OF ALL ` A SWEET NEW SET OF WHEELS. JUST AHEAD, PARTS OF CENTRAL JAPAN ARE BROUGHT TO A STANDSTILL BY A POWERFUL TYPHOON. AND THIS GUY'S ATTEMPT TO WALK ON WATER PROVES HE'S NO MESSIAH. INSTEAD HE'S THE ONE WHO NEEDED SAVING. FROM HEAD-ON COLLISIONS TO A HEARTFELT REACTION, THE PERFORMANCE BEING CALLED ONE OF THE MOST REMARKABLE IN RUGBY LEAGUE HISTORY. A POWERFUL TYPHOON HAS SLAMMED INTO JAPAN KILLING AT LEAST ONE PERSON AND BRINGING PARTS OF THE COUNTRY TO A STANDSTILL. AROUND 200,000 PEOPLE HAVE BEEN FORCED TO FLEE THEIR HOMES. TORRENTIAL RAIN AND HIGH WINDS HAVE SEEN SOME ROADS CUT OFF ENTIRELY. EMERGENCY TEAMS ARE NOW WORRIED ABOUT LANDSLIDES IN THE REGION WHERE MOUNT ONTAKE ERUPTED LAST WEEK, KILLING 51 PEOPLE. THE FIRST EBOLA PATIENT DIAGNOSED IN THE US HAS TAKEN A TURN FOR THE WORSE. THOMAS DUNCAN'S UNCONSCIOUS IN A TEXAS HOSPITAL. THE LIBERIAN MAN'S FAMILY SAYS HE'S ON A VENTILATOR AND HAVING DIALYSIS AFTER HIS KIDNEYS FAILED. SUPPLIES OF A PROMISING VACCINE HAVE RUN OUT AND HE'S NOT GETTING OTHER EXPERIMENTAL TREATMENT BECAUSE IT COULD MAKE HIM SICKER. HIS FAMILY'S BEEN PUT IN QUARANTINE. A BRITISH TEACHER SEIZED BY ISLAMIC MILITANTS IN LIBYA HAS BEEN FREED AFTER A RANSOM WAS PAID. MY NAME IS DAVID RICHARD BOLAM. I AM A BRITISH UK CITIZEN. I AM A TEACHER. DAVID BOLAM, SEEN IN THIS HOSTAGE VIDEO, WAS ABDUCTED IN MAY BY A GROUP CALLING ITSELF 'THE ARMY OF ISLAM'. THE 63-YEAR-OLD HAD BEEN TEACHING ENGLISH FOR YEARS AT THIS SCHOOL IN BENGHAZI. IT'S UNDERSTOOD A RANSOM WAS MET TO SECURE HIS RELEASE, BUT THE BRITISH FOREIGN OFFICE WASN'T INVOLVED IN THE NEGOTIATIONS. NOW THIS NEXT STORY WILL HAVE YOU SHAKING YOUR HEAD IN DISBELIEF. AS THIS CAR ROUNDS A CORNER IN A RALLY IN ITALY, THE DRIVER LOSES CONTROL AND HEADS STRAIGHT FOR A CROWD OF SPECTATORS ON THE BANK. JUST BEFORE IT PLOUGHS INTO THEM, IT HITS A BUMP AND FLIPS ONTO ITS ROOF, NARROWLY MISSING ONE WOMAN WHO WAS STILL SITTING BESIDE THE TRACK. NOBODY WAS HURT IN THE INCIDENT. THE CAR, HOWEVER, WASN'T SO LUCKY. THE US COAST GUARD HAS RESCUED A MAN TRYING TO TRAVEL OVER 1000KM FROM FLORIDA TO BERMUDA IN A FLOATING BUBBLE. YES, YOU HEARD THAT RIGHT ` A BUBBLE. WHEN REZA BALUCHI HAD THE IDEA OF RUNNING THE DISTANCE FROM INSIDE HIS HOME-MADE 'HYDRO POD', THE LOCAL COASTGUARD WARNED HIM AGAINST THE PERILOUS TRIP. THEY TOLD MR BALUCHI HE'D BE ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO SPOT IF HE GOT INTO TROUBLE. BUT THE ADVENTURER IGNORED THAT ADVICE AND PUSHED AHEAD, ONLY TO END UP EXHAUSTED AND IN NEED OF RESCUE 110KM LATER. IN SPORT, CROSS-CODE STAR SONNY BILL WILLIAMS IS OFFICIALLY BACK IN RUGBY UNION, JOINING HIS NEW COUNTIES-MANUKAU TEAMMATES FOR A TRAINING SESSION IN SOUTH AUCKLAND TODAY. JUST NINE DAYS AGO, WILLIAMS WAS BIDDING FAREWELL TO RUGBY LEAGUE. WELCOME BACK. > THANKS FOR HAVING ME. YEAH, IT'S BEEN A FAST COUPLE OF WEEKS. HE'LL PLAY OFF THE BENCH ON WEDNESDAY NIGHT'S ITM CUP MATCH AGAINST AUCKLAND. 24 HOURS AFTER THEIR LEAGUE TEAM'S GRAND FINAL VICTORY, SOUTH SYDNEY IS STILL ALIVE WITH THE SOUND OF CELEBRATIONS. IN A FAIRY-TALE WIN, THE RABBITOHS TROUNCED THE BULLDOGS 30-6, ENDING A 43-YEAR DROUGHT. CHANNEL NINE'S NEIL BREEN REPORTS. THEY POURED IN FROM EARLY MORNING, ABOUT 15,000 OF THEM. REDFERN OVAL HADN'T SEEN THIS MANY FACES SINCE THE PROTEST RALLY WHEN THE RABBITOHS WERE THROWN OUT OF THE COMPETITION IN 1999. THIS TIME IT WAS A PREMIERSHIP PARTY. ALL SING AND CHEER THE FANS WERE DELIRIOUS. OH, WHAT A TEAM. WHAT A FEELING. AND I PRAYED ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE GAME. I RECKON THAT'S WHAT GOT THEM THERE. PLAYER PANDEMONIUM IN FULL SWING. ALL CHANT IN A TEAM OF HEROES, THE CLIVE CHURCHILL MEDAL WINNER WAS THE BIGGEST. IN HIS LAST MATCH FOR THE RABBITOHS, SAM BURGESS FRACTURED A CHEEKBONE IN THE FIRST TACKLE. I WOULD LOVE TO COME BACK AND PLAY HERE IN AUSTRALIA AGAIN. THERE WERE SIMILAR SCENES LAST NIGHT WHEN THE TEAM BUS PULLED INTO SOUTH SYDNEY JUNIORS. ALL CHANT: WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS! SCENES WHICH HADN'T BEEN SEEN AROUND THESE PARTS SINCE 1971. THE BEST TEAM IN THE WORLD. THIS IS PROBABLY BIGGER THAN RUGBY LEAGUE IN SOME WAY ` JUST THE COMMUNITY ITSELF. REDFERN STREETS WERE ALIVE TO THE SOUND OF DRUMS. AND IT WAS EASY TO SEE WHO THEIR HEROES WERE. THE HOMECOMINGS TO REDFERN FOLLOWED A PARTY AT ANZ STADIUM WHICH BEGAN WITH TEARS BEFORE THE SIREN SOUNDED. HOME BUSH ERUPTED AS 43 YEARS OF PAIN WERE ERASED. A BOOMING 'GLORY, GLORY' TO SOUTH SYDNEY, HAILING A PREMIERSHIP FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 43 YEARS. ALL: # GLORY, GLORY TO SOUTH SYDNEY. # STAY WITH US, BECAUSE WE'LL TAKE A LOOK AT YOUR WEATHER FORECAST AFTER THE BREAK. AND MOST PEOPLE AGONISE OVER THE MUSIC THEY'LL WALK DOWN THE AISLE TO, BUT WHAT IF YOU HAD TO AGONISE OVER WHETHER YOU'D BE WALKING AT ALL? PULLING OFF A FLAWLESS WEDDING TAKES MONTHS OF PLANNING AND PREPARATION, SO IMAGINE ADDING THE JOB OF LEARNING TO WALK INTO THAT MIX. GINA GIAFFOGLIONE ARRIVED ON WHEELS FOR HER WEDDING, TO NO ONE'S SURPRISE. A ONE-TIME ATHLETE, SHE GOT HURT SIX YEARS AGO IN A CAR ACCIDENT. SHE'S BEEN PARALYSED FROM THE WAIST DOWN. BUT AFTER JOHN SPRINGHOWER PROPOSED BACK IN 2012, GINA TOLD HER DAD, GARY, THAT THERE WAS SOMETHING SHE HAD ALWAYS WANTED TO DO ` WALK DOWN THAT WEDDING AISLE ARM-IN-ARM WITH HER FATHER. WHICHEVER WAY WE HAVE TO DO IT, IT'S BEEN HER DREAM. OBVIOUSLY, IT'S A DAD'S DREAM TO HAVE THE HONOUR TO WALK YOUR DAUGHTER DOWN THE AISLE. AND SO SHE WENT INTO TRAINING. ACTUALLY, THEY BOTH WENT INTO TRAINING. STANDING UP HAD BECOME A WHOLE NEW KIND OF ADVENTURE WHEN THERE'S NO FEELING BELOW THE HIPS. WHEN YOU'RE BACK UP AND DOING IT, AND ESPECIALLY HAVING DAD ON MY ARM, IT'S A FLOATING THAT YOU CAN'T EVEN EXPLAIN. IT'S NOT EVEN ABOUT THE WALKING. I MEAN, YOUR EMOTIONS ARE FLOATING. HELPED ALONG BY A BRACE SHAPED IN SUCH A WAY THAT YOU CAN'T SEE IT ONCE IT'S THE FULL DRESS, AND SO THEY FLOATED ` GINA AND HER DAD ` AND THEY GOT THE FULL EFFECT. HER FIANCE KNEW ABOUT IT, BUT ALMOST NO ONE ELSE SAW THIS COMING, SORT OF GINA'S WEDDING PRESENT TO EVERYONE ELSE CAPPED BY THE PERFECT LINE. YOU'RE GONNA SWEEP MY OFF MY FEET. WELL, YEAH. JUST AS GINA AND JOHN ` AND GARY ` KNOCKED EVERYBODY'S SOCKS OFF. NOW TO THE WEATHER AND WE ARE CHANNELING POSITIVE THOUGHTS WITH OUR MUSIC SELECTION. THAT'S IT FROM US HERE ON TONIGHT. NOW, IF YOU FANCY GETTING IN TOUCH WITH US, YOU CAN RIGHT HERE. THANKS FOR WATCHING. GOODNIGHT. CAPTIONS BY ANNE LANGFORD AND ANNA BRACEWELL-WORRALL.
