TONIGHT ` THE DISGRACED DIPLOMAT ACCUSED OF A SEX ASSAULT ABOUT TO RETURN TO NZ. THE BIG APPLE BRACES ITSELF FOR EBOLA WITH THE REVELATION AN INFECTED DOCTOR IS NOW IN NEW YORK. BEAUTY IS IN THE BULGING EYE OF THE BEHOLDER ` THE JUST PLAIN ODD CONTEST IN CHINA. DUE TO THE LIVE NATURE OF TONIGHT, WE APOLOGISE FOR THE LACK OF CAPTIONS FOR SOME ITEMS. IN ABOUT AN HOUR, THE MALAYSIAN DIPLOMAT ACCUSED OF SEXUALLY ASSAULTING A WELLINGTON WOMAN IS DUE TO ARRIVE BACK IN NZ. MUHAMMAD RIZALMAN BIN ISMAIL IS RETURNING TO FACE CHARGES OF BURGLARY AND ASSAULT WITH INTENT TO RAPE. FOR MORE, LET'S GO TO MONIQUE FISCHER IN OUR AUCKLAND NEWSROOM. WE UNDERSTAND TWO NZ POLICE OFFICERS ARE ESCORTING MUHAMMAD RIZALMAN BIN ISMAIL FROM MALAYSIA. THE 38-YEAR-OLD WAS WORKING FOR THE MALAYSIAN HIGH COMMISSION IN WELLINGTON WHEN IT'S ALLEGED HE ATTACKED 22-YEAR-OLD TANIA BILLINGSLEY AS SHE WAS MAKING HER WAY HOME IN MAY. POLICE CHARGED HIM THAT SAME MONTH, BUT BECAUSE OF A MIX-UP BETWEEN NZ AND MALAYSIAN OFFICIALS, HE RETURNED HOME UNDER DIPLOMATIC IMMUNITY BEFORE ENTERING A PLEA. THE GOVERNMENT'S HANDLING OF THIS CASE HAS BEEN HEAVILY CRITICISED. MALAYSIAN OFFICIALS SAY THEY WERE LEFT WITH THE IMPRESSION THAT NZ WAS HAPPY FOR RIZALMAN TO RETURN HOME. A TOP-LEVEL INQUIRY WAS ORDERED AFTER THE ALLEGED VICTIM VOLUNTARILY HAD HER NAME SUPPRESSION LIFTED AND PUBLICALLY CRITICISED FOREIGN MINISTER MURRAY MCCULLY FOR FAILING TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY. THE GOVERNMENT ORDERED RIZALMAN'S EXTRADITION ABOUT A MONTH AGO, WITH THE MALAYSIAN GOVERNMENT SAYING IT'S PREPARED TO SEE THE DIPLOMAT STAND TRIAL IN NZ. HE'S EXPECTED TO APPEAR IN WELLINGTON DISTRICT COURT TOMORROW TO FACE THE CHARGES. HE HASN'T YET ENTERED A PLEA. TWO VICTIMS OF SEXUAL ASSAULT ARE FIGHTING TO CHANGE SOME OF OUR LAWS. THE PAIR SAY CURRENT RULES ALLOW ABUSERS TO HIDE BEHIND THE AUTOMATIC NAME SUPPRESSION GIVEN TO VICTIMS. LISA DAVIES HAS THE STORY. WHEN THESE PICTURES WERE TAKEN, THE FOUR YEARS OF SEXUAL ABUSE THEY BOTH ENDURED HAD ALREADY BEGUN. THEIR ABUSER'S CONTINUED NAME SUPPRESSION COMPOUNDS THAT PAIN. HE'S STILL BEEN ABUSING US FOR THE LAST 20 YEARS BY PIGGYBACKING ON OUR NAME SUPPRESSION. YEAH. HE'S STILL BEEN ABUSING US. DECADES ON, THE TEARS STILL COME EASILY. IT'S JUST AN EMOTIONAL RELEASE. JUST... IT IS. KAREN AND ANNE-MARIE SUFFERED SEXUAL ABUSE BETWEEN THE AGES OF 10 AND 14 YEARS OLD. IT TOOK 20 YEARS BEFORE THEY REVEALED THAT ABUSE. IT'S HATRED TOWARDS HIM. HE DESTROYED MY LIFE, MY CHILDHOOD. THEIR ABUSER WAS JAILED FOR 12 MONTHS ON THREE CHARGES OF COMMITTING AN INDECENT ACT, AND TWO OF INDECENT ASSAULT. BUT HIS NAME WAS NEVER MADE PUBLIC DUE TO A SUPPRESSION ORDER MADE TO PROTECT THE IDENTITY OF HIS VICTIMS. EARLIER THIS YEAR, KAREN AND ANNE-MARIE WENT TO COURT TO GET THEIR AUTOMATIC NAME SUPPRESSION LIFTED. THEIR AIM IS THAT THEIR ABUSER'S NAME SUPPRESSION WOULD DISAPPEAR IN THE PROCESS, ONLY TO FIND THAT THE WAY OUR LAW IS WRITTEN WON'T ALLOW THAT TO HAPPEN. THEY HAVE A LIFE SENTENCE, AND YET THEY ARE CONTINUING TO FIGHT FOR THE RIGHT TO BE ABLE TO NAME THE MAN WHO SEXUALLY ABUSED THEM MULTIPLE TIMES. RUTH MONEY SAYS THEY CERTAINLY AREN'T ALONE. THEY ARE ONLY TWO OF MORE THAN 20 PEOPLE THAT I KNOW ABOUT. THEY NOW NEED PUBLIC HELP TO FUND THEIR FIGHT FOR A JUDICIAL REVIEW OF THEIR CASE. HE'S STILL HIDING, YOU KNOW, AND LIVING A LIE. CHANGES NEED TO HAPPEN BECAUSE IT'S NOT WORKING. (CHUCKLES) LOOK AT US. BOTH: YEAH. THE FIGHT AGAINST A LEGAL SYSTEM THEY SAY SHOULD BE ON THEIR SIDE. LISA DAVIES, ONE NEWS. NEW YORK'S MAYOR IS TONIGHT DESPERATELY TRYING TO EASE CONCERNS EBOLA IS SPREADING THROUGH THE BIG APPLE. THAT'S AFTER A DOCTOR WHO FAILED TO QUARANTINE HIMSELF AFTER RETURNING TO NEW YORK CITY FROM AN EBOLA HOTSPOT IN AFRICA TESTED POSITIVE FOR THE DEADLY DISEASE. CHANNEL NINE'S MICHAEL BEST HAS THE LATEST. RUSHED TO HOSPITAL, ISOLATED IN A SPECIALLY EQUIPPED AMBULANCE ` DR CRAIG SPENCER, THE FIRST EBOLA PATIENT IN AMERICA'S MOST DENSELY POPULATED CITY. I KNOW THE WORD 'EBOLA' RIGHT NOW CAN SPREAD FEAR JUST BY THE SOUND OF THE WORD. DR SPENCER HAD BEEN TREATING EBOLA PATIENTS IN GUINEA BEFORE LEAVING LAST THURSDAY, FLYING THROUGH BRUSSELS, THEN ARRIVING HOME IN NEW YORK. HE'D BEEN MONITORING HIS TEMPERATURE AND REPORTED A FEVER AND NAUSEA THIS MORNING. THERE IS NO REASON FOR NEW YORKERS TO BE ALARMED. EBOLA IS AN EXTREMELY HARD DISEASE TO CONTRACT. BUT DR SPENCER HAD BEEN FEELING FATIGUED FOR DAYS, EVEN GOING BOWLING AND CATCHING A TAXI JUST YESTERDAY. HE ALSO TOOK THE SUBWAY SYSTEM. WE KNOW THAT HE'S RIDDEN ON THE 'A' TRAIN, THE NUMBER-ONE TRAIN, THE 'L' TRAIN. BEING ON THE SAME SUBWAY CAR OR LIVING NEAR A PERSON WITH EBOLA DOES NOT IN ITSELF PUT SOMEONE AT RISK. COMMUNITY CONCERN, THOUGH, IS GROWING. POLICE IN MASKS AND GLOVES WERE AT DR SPENCER'S APARTMENT TODAY. IT'S NOW LOCKED DOWN. FRANKLY, PEOPLE IN THE NEIGHBOURHOOD ARE SCARED. AND SOME OF THEM ARE PANICKED. IN FACT, I HAD ONE GENTLEMAN WHO WOULDN'T EVEN SHAKE MY HAND BECAUSE HE WAS SCARED. DR SPENCER IS BEING TREATED IN A SPECIAL ISOLATION WARD. HIS FIANCEE AND TWO FRIENDS ARE ALSO IN QUARANTINE. I KNOW IT'S A FRIGHTENING SITUATION, BUT THE MORE FACTS YOU KNOW, THE LESS FRIGHTENING THIS SITUATION IS. AND GOVERNMENTS, SCIENTISTS AND BIG DRUG COMPANIES ARE WORKING TOGETHER TO TRY AND CREATE A SUCCESSFUL VACCINE AGAINST EBOLA. ONE EXPERIMENTAL VACCINE HAS ARRIVED AT A HOSPITAL IN GENEVA FOR TRIALS AFTER BEING DEVELOPED BY A CANADIAN COMPANY. IT'S BELIEVED THE RISK FOR HEALTH WORKERS IN CLOSE CONTACT WITH EBOLA PATIENTS IS SO HIGH, IT OUTWEIGHS POTENTIAL SIDE EFFECTS. EVEN A VACCINE THAT WAS 50% EFFECTIVE AND THERE WAS A SMALL RISK THAT IT MIGHT HAVE SOME BAD SIDE EFFECTS, YOU WOULD TAKE THAT. TRIALS OF ANOTHER VACCINE ARE UNDERWAY IN BRITAIN AND ALSO IN MALI, WHICH HAD ITS FIRST EBOLA CASE CONFIRMED TODAY. DRAMATIC NEW VIDEO SHOWS THE MOMENT A GUNMAN SHOT HIS WAY INTO THE CANADIAN PARLIAMENT. MICHAEL ZEHAF-BIBEAU KILLED A SOLDIER AT A WAR MEMORIAL BEFORE BEING SHOT DEAD BY A SENIOR SECURITY OFFICER. THIS FROM CHANNEL NINE'S CHRISTINE AHERN. A KILLER ` ONE VICTIM LYING IN HIS FOOTSTEPS ` NOW ON A MISSION TO SHED MORE BLOOD. THESE ARE THE EXTRAORDINARY SECURITY PICTURES THAT TRACKED THE ATTACK BY MICHAEL ZEHAF-BIBEAU ON THE CANADIAN PARLIAMENT. THE GUNMAN HAS, JUST MINUTES BEFORE, SHOT DEAD CORPORAL NATHAN CIRILLO AT THE NEARBY WAR MEMORIAL. THE SHOOTER HAS CLIMBED BACK INTO HIS CAR WHILE PEDESTRIANS NEAR THE PARLIAMENT HEAR THE GUNSHOTS. THE KILLER ARRIVES AT THE PARLIAMENTARY PRECINCT. SECURITY BOLLARDS BLOCK HIS WAY. ONE PEDESTRIAN MISTAKENLY APPROACHES THE CAR AND SEES THE RIFLE AND RUNS. THE REST KNOW THEY'RE IN PERIL AND FLEE. CLOSE BEHIND THEM SPRINTS ZEHAF-BIBEAU, RIFLE IN HIS HANDS. HE RUNS DOWN THE PAVEMENT OUTSIDE PARLIAMENT, CONFRONTS THE DRIVER OF A MINISTER'S LIMOUSINE. THE MAN FLEES. THE GUNMAN COMMANDEERS THE CAR AND RACES ACROSS THE PRECINCT PLAZA TO THE CENTRE BLOCK OF PARLIAMENT. POLICE ARE NOW ALERTED AND RACE IN PURSUIT. HE RUNS INTO THE BUILDING. THAT MOMENT, CAUGHT FROM ANOTHER CAMERA, SEES PARLIAMENTARY STAFF PERPLEXED, THEN FLEEING FOR THEIR LIVES. ZEHAF-BIBEAU RUNS INSIDE, SHOOTING AT SECURITY MEN, INTENT ON ATTACKING A NATION'S LEADERS. BUT, INSTEAD, JUST MOMENTS LATER, HE'LL MEET HIS END. GUNSHOT ECHOES TODAY CANADA'S PARLIAMENT GATHERED AGAIN IN THE CHAMBER THAT WAS THE GUNMAN'S TARGET, DEFIANTLY RETURNING TO WORK AND HONOURING THE MAN THAT SAVED THEM, PARLIAMENTARY SERGEANT-AT-ARMS KEVIN VICKERS, WHO SHOT THE GUNMAN DEAD. A COUNTRY ON EDGE, YET STILL THEY CAME TOGETHER TO REMEMBER A YOUNG MAN TAKEN TOO SOON, THE MUSLIM COMMUNITY AMONG THOSE PAYING THEIR RESPECTS, DENOUNCING THE ACTS OF TERROR. POLICE HAVE NOW DIRECTLY LINKED ZEHAF-BIBEAU TO A KNOWN CANADIAN JIHADIST AND REVEAL HE WAS IN OTTAWA TO TRY AND GET A PASSPORT TO TRAVEL TO SYRIA. THE 32-YEAR-OLD, PICTURED HERE IN HIGH SCHOOL, WAS A CONVICTED CRIMINAL AND RECENTLY HOMELESS, TELLING A FRIEND HE THOUGHT THE DEVIL WAS IN HIM. HIS MOTHER RELEASED A STATEMENT, SAYING... '...NOT MY SON.' AND CANADA'S POLICE COMMISSIONER SAYS ZEHAF-BIBEAU WAS NOT LINKED TO THE MUSLIM CONVERT WHO ATTACKED AND KILLED A CANADIAN SOLDIER ON MONDAY. BACK HERE, A TERROR EXPERT SAYS NZ'S AT RISK OF A TERRORIST ATTACK, WHETHER OUR ARMED FORCES JOIN THE FIGHT AGAINST ISIS OR NOT. A DECISION ON THAT'S STILL A FEW WEEKS AWAY. WAIKATO UNIVERSITY'S AL GILLESPIE WARNS TERRORISM HAS GROWN FOURFOLD IN THE LAST DECADE AND WE CAN'T ASSUME WE ARE IMMUNE. WE CAN EXPECT, IF WE JOIN THE COALITION, THAT WE WILL BE MENTIONED AND THAT THERE WILL BE A THREAT AGAINST US. BUT WE ARE ALREADY A TARGET. WHEN PEOPLE GO OVERSEAS, THROUGH RISKS OF HOSTAGES, THROUGH RISKS OF KIDNAPPINGS. HE ALSO SAYS HIGH-PROFILE EVENTS, SUCH AS SPORTS FIXTURES AND CONCERTS ARE THE MOST LIKELY TARGETS OF ANY TERRORIST ATTACK. THE LABOUR WEEKEND HOLIDAY ROAD TOLL HAS ALREADY EQUALLED LAST YEAR'S AFTER A MAN DIED IN A CAR CRASH NORTH OF AUCKLAND THIS AFTERNOON. THE SERIOUS CRASH UNIT IS INVESTIGATING AFTER A TEENAGE DRIVER COLLIDED WITH A TRUCK IN DAIRY FLAT. THE 50-YEAR-OLD CAR PASSENGER DIED AT THE SCENE, WHILE THE TEEN WAS TAKEN TO HOSPITAL WITH MODERATE INJURIES. EVERY DEATH ON THE ROAD IS A CONCERN TO US. SO, YOU KNOW, IT'S AN EXTREMELY SAD START. AND CERTAINLY, WE'LL BE INVESTIGATING, FINDING OUT WHAT'S GONE WRONG HERE. THE TRUCK DRIVER WAS UNHURT. LAST YEAR'S ROAD TOLL ENDED WITH JUST ONE DEATH ` THE LOWEST FIGURE SINCE THE RECORDS BEGAN IN 1956. A SOUTHERN MAN IS FACING MANSLAUGHTER CHARGES OVER A FATAL CAR CRASH IN DUNEDIN IN MAY. POLICE ALLEGE THE ILLEGALLY MODIFIED CAR WAS TRAVELLING AT AROUND 180KM/HR WHEN IT STRUCK A POLE. THEY ALSO CLAIM THE DRIVER HAD BEEN DRINKING. BROTHER AND SISTER SHANNON AND DANIELLE KIRIAU DIED IN THE ACCIDENT, WHILE A THIRD PASSENGER WAS CRITICALLY INJURED. THE 20-YEAR-OLD MILTON MAN WILL APPEAR IN COURT NEXT MONTH. NZERS ON THE WAITING LIST FOR TICKETS TO ANZAC DAY CENTENARY COMMEMMORATIONS AT GALLIPOLI ARE FRUSTRATED THEY'VE BEEN LEFT IN LIMBO. THAT'S BECAUSE ALMOST HALF THE KIWIS LUCKY ENOUGH TO GET PASSES ARE YET TO CONFIRM THEY'RE GOING, AND THE DEADLINE'S TOMORROW. LISA DAVIES HAS MORE. THIS MEMORIAL COULD BE AS CLOSE AS SANDRA LEES GETS TO GALLIPOLI. I'M AT LEAST TOUCHING A STONE FROM ANZAC COVE. SHE'S ON THE WAITING LIST FOR A DOUBLE PASS TO THE GALLIPOLI CENTENARY ANZAC DAY COMMEMORATIONS. BUT SHE'S BEEN LEFT IN LIMBO, BECAUSE A STAGGERING 39% OF THOSE WHO WERE SUCCESSFUL IN THE BALLOT STILL HAVEN'T CONFIRMED IF THEY'RE GOING. IT IS TO A DEGREE, YEAH, A BIT SELFISH, FROM MY PERSPECTIVE. SANDRA IS A GENEALOGIST. HER CONNECTION WITH WWI STRENGTHENED THIS YEAR WHEN SHE HELPED REDISCOVER THE GRAVE OF SAPPER ROBERT HISLOP. HE WAS OFFICIALLY RECOGNISED AS THE FIRST NZ SOLIDER TO DIE IN WWI. I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE IT, BECAUSE THERE'S PEOPLE LIKE ME OUT THERE THAT ARE ACTUALLY REALLY ORGANISED AND ABSOLUTELY CHAMPING AT THE BIT TO GET OVER THERE AND JUST PAY RESPECTS. AT THE MOMENT, THERE ARE 374 DOUBLE-PASS WINNERS YET TO CONFIRM THEIR SPOT. PEOPLE DON'T REALISE THAT THERE'S ANOTHER FEW THOUSAND PEOPLE WAITING ANXIOUSLY ON THE WAIT LIST. ADDING TO THAT PRESSURE IS THE FACT THAT OVER 2000 AUSTRALIANS ARE YET TO CONFIRM TOO. SO ONCE THEIR TICKETS ARE PASSED ON, LAST-MINUTE TRAVELLERS WILL FLOOD THE MARKET LOOKING FOR ACCOMMODATION AND AIRFARES. SO THE CALL IS FOR KIWIS TO EITHER CONFIRM OR DECLINE THEIR PLACE RIGHT NOW. JUST GIVE ANOTHER FELLOW KIWI A CHANCE TO BE THERE. TICKETS FORFEITED ARE PASSED TO THE WAITING LIST, TO PEOPLE LIKE SANDRA. I JUST WANT TO STAND WHERE THEIR FOOTSTEPS WERE AND JUST SOAK IT UP. BUT HER DREAM NOW LIES IN THE HANDS OF OTHERS. LISA DAVIES, ONE NEWS. AND THE BIGGEST EVER SURVEY OF THE GALLIPOLI BATTLEFIELD'S JUST BEEN COMPLETED, WITH LOTS OF NZ RELICS UNEARTHED. MORE THAN 16,000M OF TRENCHES WERE SEARCHED, INCLUDING SITES MANNED BY KIWI TROOPS AND THE MAORI CONTINGENT. THE JOINT PROJECT BETWEEN NZ, AUSTRALIA AND TURKEY BEGAN IN 2009. HEALTH NUTS HAVE LABELLED IT AN ALL-PURPOSE SUPERFOOD, BUT THE HEART FOUNDATION IS WARNING PEOPLE COOKING WITH COCONUT OIL NOT TO GET CARRIED AWAY. IT SAYS RECENT RESEARCH SHOWS THE OIL SHOULD BE KEPT AS A SOMETIMES FOOD, RATHER THAN BEING USED IN EVERY MEAL. THAT'S VERY VERY HIGH IN SATURATED FAT, SO IT'S 92% IN SATURATED FAT. AND FROM THE EVIDENCE THAT WE LOOKED AT, IT WAS RAISING CHOLESTEROL LEVELS IN PEOPLE, SO IT'S STILL NOT A TYPE OF FAT THAT WE RECOMMEND FOR HEART HEALTH. THE POPULAR PALEO DIET ENCOURAGES THE USE OF COCONUT OIL, BUT THE HEART FOUNDATION SAYS PLANT-BASED OILS, LIKE OLIVE, AVOCADO OR CANOLA, ARE MORE HEALTHY EVERYDAY OPTIONS. A NZ DESIGNER HAS WON THE LATEST FINAL OF THE AMERICAN REALITY TV SHOW PROJECT RUNWAY. SEAN KELLY TOOK THE CROWN FOR HIS CREATIONS, WHICH SOME FASHION EXPERTS DESCRIBED AS BREATHTAKING. KRISTIN HALL HAS ALL THE ACTION AND REACTION. WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF FASHION, GLAMOUR AND CELEBRITIES. IT'S ALL A LONG WAY FROM HAWERA. GOOD MORNING, DARLING. HOW ARE YOU? I'M GOOD. IT'S THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE. THERE'S NO FASHION. THERE'S NO FABRIC STORE. I USED TO MAKE PATTERNS OUT OF NEWSPAPER. AFTER WEEKS OF RUTHLESS COMPETITION, KIWI SEAN KELLY (24) HAS BEEN CROWNED THE WINNER OF SEASON 13 OF PROJECT RUNWAY, AND I'M SO HAPPY RIGHT NOW. I CAN'T DESCRIBE IT. TODAY'S ANNOUNCEMENT HAD THE PHONE AT THE KELLY HOUSEHOLD RINGING OFF THE HOOK. TARANAKI'S A SMALL PLACE, AND THE PHONE, THE TEXTS, THE FACEBOOK, YOU NAME IT, IT'S JUST GOING MAD. I THINK IT'S NICE, AND EVERYONE CAN RELATE TO SEAN. HE'S WAS SCHOOLED HERE. THE PEOPLE YOU LEAST EXPECT TO HEAR FROM ARE REALLY INTERESTED. IT'S THE BIG BUZZ AROUND HERE. AND HIS FORMER TUTOR AND CLASSMATES AT MASSEY'S UNIVERSITY ARE PRETTY STOKED TOO. OH MY. OH MY. YAY SEAN. SO EXCITING! REALLY NICE. ALWAYS HAPPY TO HELP. VERY DOWN TO EARTH AND KNEW HIS STUFF ALL THE TIME. ON TO IT. DO YOU THINK IT'LL PROVE A REAL INSPIRATION FOR YOUR STUDENTS? WITHOUT A DOUBT THEY'RE ALL ON TOP OF THE WORLD, AS YOU SAW, WITHOUT A DOUBT THEY'RE ALL ON TOP OF THE WORLD, AS YOU SAW, AND THEY ALL ENTER LITTLE COMPETITIONS, AND TO SEE PROJECT RUNWAY, WHICH SO MANY OF THEM FOLLOW. SEAN MADE HIS MARK ON THE SHOW'S JUDGES WITH HIS ENDLESS CREATIVITY AND A PRETTY SERIOUS OBSESSION WITH FRINGE. I'VE ONLY USED IT, LIKE, THREE TIMES. NO FRINGE TODAY, HUH? NO! SEAN, YOU REALLY WENT FOR IT WITH THE FRINGE. AND IT PAID OFF, SEAN GETS $100,000 TO START HIS OWN LABEL, A SEWING STUDIO, A LEXUS, BUT HIS DAD SAYS THE FAME WON'T GO TO HIS HEAD RECOGNISED ON THE SUBWAYS, CAFES WHEN WE WERE EATING. HIS LIFE'S CHANGED, BUT HE HASN'T. YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN. IT'S A KIWI THING AND WHILE SEAN'S NOT EXPECTED TO BE BACK HERE ANY TIME SOON, IT'S SAFE TO SAY THIS WON'T BE LAST WE'LL SEE OF HIM. KRISTIN HALL, ONE NEWS. JUST AHEAD ` HE WAS A SEVEN-TIME F1 CHAMP. IS MICHAEL SCHUMACHER ON TRACK TO BEAT THE ODDS AGAIN? WHAT ARE YOU DOING? I THOUGHT YOU MEANT... (IMITATES KNIFE) IS HE BEING SERIOUS OR A WISE GUY? THE MOUNTAIN OF MONEY AN ACTOR WANTS FROM THE SIMPSONS. AND YOU WON'T BELIEVE YOUR BULGING EYES. A BEAUTY CONTEST LIKE NO OTHER. IN A LANDMARK DECISION, EUROPEAN LEADERS HAVE REACHED A DEAL TO CUT GREENHOUSE EMISSIONS BY 40% PERCENT BY 2030. AFTER LENGTHY AND AT TIMES HEATED NEGOTIATIONS, LEADERS AGREED ON A PACKAGE. IT ALSO REQUIRES CLIMATE-FRIENDLY RENEWABLE ENERGY TO PROVIDE AT LEAST 27% OF THE 28 NATION BLOC'S NEEDS. A DOCTOR WHO TREATED MICHAEL SCHUMACHER SAYS THE FORMULA ONE DRIVER IS MAKING SLOW PROGRESS. THE SEVEN-TIME WORLD CHAMPION FELL AND HIT HIS HEAD ON A ROCK WHILE SKIING IN THE FRENCH ALPS LAST DECEMBER. HIS DOCTOR HAS NOW REVEALED THE 45-YEAR-OLD IS OUT OF A MEDICALLY INDUCED COMA BUT WARNS THAT RECOVERY COULD TAKE YEARS. AN ACTOR WHO LIVED RIGHT NEXT DOOR TO THE CREATORS OF THE SIMPSONS SAYS THEY STOLE THE CHARACTER THAT MADE HIM FAMOUS. SO NOW HE'S SUING FOR A COOL US$250M. ABC'S PAULA FARIS HAS THE STORY. ONE OF THE ORIGINAL GANGSTERS IN 'GOODFELLAS' AND 'THE GODFATHER PART II' IS NOW TAKING OUT A HIT ON HOMER? GASPS IN A LAWSUIT FILED JUST THIS WEEK, FRANK SIVERO,... GUNSHOTS WHAT ARE YOU DOING? I THOUGHT YOU MEANT... (IMITATES KNIFE) ...WHO PLAYED MOBSTER FRANK CARBONE SAYS THIS CARTOON, SIMPSONS TOUGH GUY LOUIE, IS BASED OFF HIM... WHOA? WHERE DID THAT COME FROM? WHOA. ...AND IS SUING THE SHOW FOR $250M. READ 'EM AND WEEP! EVEN IF LOUIE ONLY APPEARED IN 16 EPISODES. IT'S NOT THE FIRST TIME SOMEONE HAS ACCUSED A PUBLIC FIGURE OF STEALING THEIR LIKENESS, BUT PROVING IT IN COURT CAN BE COSTLY AND IT'S SUBJECTIVE. # THIS IS REAL LIFE. I'M NOT POSING FOR A MAGAZINE. # KIM KARDASHIAN SETTLED WITH OLD NAVY AFTER CLAIMING THIS MODEL WAS A STAND-IN FOR HER. BUT WHEN JOHNNY DEPP OPENLY BASED HI CAPT JACK SPARROW ON ROLLING STONES ROCKER KEITH RICHARDS, # DRINK UP, ME HEARTIES, YO-HO. # RICHARDS NOT ONLY WENT ALONG WITH IT, HE JOINED THE CAST AS SPARROW'S FATHER. AS FOR FRANK SIVERO,... DON'T HAVE A COW. IT'S QUITE POSSIBLY TOO LATE FOR THAT. BEAUTY CONTESTS ARE OFTEN ABOUT PARALYSED SMILES, FLAWLESS SKIN AND A NEED TO COME ACROSS AS THE MOST ANNOYINGLY NICE PERSON ON EARTH, BUT NOT IN THE CHINESE CITY OF FUZHOU. THAT WAS THE LOCATION FOR THE 'MISS GOLDFISH' CONTEST, WITH AROUND 10,000 COLOURFUL FISH UNWITTINGLY COMPETING IN 16 CATEGORIES. THE CATEGORIES WERE COLOUR ` YOU'D THINK THERE'D BE ONLY ONE. FIGURE ` UM, EH? AND SWIMMING, WHICH YOU'D THINK IS A MUST. THE WINNER MAY HAVE CRIED WITH HAPPINESS, BUT IT'S BASICALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO KNOW. JUST AHEAD, IT'S CALLED WEATHER ` THERE WILL BE SOME OVER MOST OF THE LONG WEEKEND. WE'LL HAVE DETAILS. MACGYVER THEME AND HE COULD FIX EVERYTHING IN THE '80S BUT HIS MULLET ` WE TALK TO MACGYVER. AH, MACGYVER ` THE '80S TELEVISION CHARACTER WHO WAS SO CLEVER, FOR A WHILE, PEOPLE WERE USING HIS NAME AS A VERB. THE MAN WHO PLAYED HIM, RICHARD DEAN ANDERSON, IS IN AUCKLAND FOR THE ARMAGEDDON EXPO. PAUL HOBBS MET HIM. MACGYVER THEME SCIENTIST, WAR VETERAN TURNED SPECIAL AGENT WITH A MILLION AND ONE USES FOR THE SWISS ARMY KNIFE. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? MACGYVER EXPLODED ON TO OUR SCREENS IN THE MID '80S, STAYED THERE FOR SEVEN SEASONS. HIS TRADEMARK WAS DIY ESCAPE ARTIST AND PROBLEM SOLVER USING EVERYTHING EXCEPT A GUN. MACGYVERISMS, I GUESS, ARE BORN OF JUST COMMON SENSE. AND A STRETCHING OF THE IMAGINATION, LIKE HOW WOULD YOU GET INTO THIS SECURITY VAN WITH A BICYCLE? A RACING BIKE'S MADE OUT OF MAGNESIUM, LIGHT STRONG AND FLAMMABLE. YOU CAN MAKE YOURSELF... (WHOOSHES) A TORCH. I JUST ABSOLUTELY LOVE THAT ONE, BECAUSE IF YOU CAN FIND ME A PERSON IN THIS WORLD THAT HAS A BICYCLE MADE OF MAGNESIUM, I WANT TO MEET HIM. IT'S STARTING TO SURPRISE ME MORE AND MORE, THE OLDER I GET AND THE WIDER I GET, THE LESS RECOGNISABLE I MAY BE. SURELY YOU INSPIRED OUR LOVE OF NUMBER-EIGHT WIRE AND SOME OF THESE GUYS? THESE FELLAS MIGHT NOT GET YOU OUT OF A HOLE, BUT THEY'LL CERTAINLY COVER ONE UP. ALL YOU NEED IS A BIT OF CARDBOARD, NAIL, A STRING AND SOME PLASTER. MACGYVER THEME AND THERE YOU HAVE IT ` THE KIWI MAC. MY RUN HAS BEEN SO MUCH FUN. EVEN A SIMPSONS STAR. FANS IN LOVE WITH THE SPECIAL AGENT WITH THE SPECIAL TRICKS. PAUL HOBBS, ONE NEWS.
