TONIGHT ` IS IT OUTRAGEOUS? THE SITE HOOKING UP PENPALS FOR SOME OF OUR MOST DANGEROUS PRISONERS HAS STIRRED UP INTEREST AND ANGER. WHY AN AMERICAN NURSE QUARANTINED OVER EBOLA IS TAKING HER CASE TO COURT. AND THE HALLOWEEN HOUNDS IN NEW YORK, BUT IT SEEMS NO ONE THOUGHT OF A WEREWOLF OUTFIT. DUE TO THE LIVE NATURE OF TONIGHT, WE APOLOGISE FOR THE LACK OF CAPTIONS FOR SOME ITEMS. IS IT REHABILITATION OR TINDER FOR CRIMINALS? OPINION APPEARS TO BE SPLIT OVER A WEBSITE WHERE PRISONERS TRY TO ATTRACT WOMEN. ACCESS TO THE SITE PROFILING SOME OF OUR MOST DANGEROUS CRIMINALS HAS NOW BEEN RESTRICTED. BUT MORE THAN 800 PEOPLE HAVE ALREADY SIGNED UP TO THE CONTROVERSIAL FACEBOOK PAGE. AT HIS SENTENCING FOR TAKING AN ELDERLY CELL MATE HOSTAGE IN 2009, KILLER GEORGE BAKER WAS ONCE AGAIN LABELLED HIGH RISK. IF YOU WERE RELEASED, YOU WOULD BE KILLING PEOPLE AND YOU WOULD PROBABLY REOFFEND. OH. I'M NOT GOING TO LIE. I PROBABLY WILL, YES. BUT THIS IS HOW THE MAN CONVICTED FOR MURDERING TEENAGER LIAM ASHLEY IN THE BACK OF A PRISON VAN IN 2006 DESCRIBED HIMSELF ONLINE ` AN ARIES WITH A GOOD SENSE OF HUMOUR. DOWN TO EARTH AND A PERSON WHO ALWAYS SPEAKS HIS MIND. HE WANTS A PRISON PEN PAL. AND ON A NZ FACEBOOK SITE, HIS PERSONAL PROFILE AND MAILING ADDRESS WAS FEATURED ALONGSIDE DOZENS OF OTHERS. THEY'RE LOOKING FOR GIRLS AND LADIES ` DIRTY GIRLS, ONE OF THEM ASKS FOR. IT IS A TINDER. IT IS A DATING SITE FOR PRISONERS. PROFILES LIKE THIS ONE ASKING FOR DIRTY GIRLS WERE ALL UPLOADED BY AN ANONYMOUS ADMINISTRATOR. BUT THE SITE SAYS PRISONERS THEMSELVES PROVIDED THE DETAILS. IN 2011, KARL NUKU WAS SENTENCED TO 18 YEARS IN PRISON ` ONE OF THE SO-CALLED 'KILLER CLOWNS' WHO BASHED A MAN TO DEATH IN WELLINGTON. HE SAYS HE LOVES MUSIC AND WANTS SOMEONE 'OUT OF IT' TO DROP HIM A LINE. PRISONERS AREN'T ALLOWED TO USE THE INTERNET, AND CORRECTIONS MONITORS ALL THEIR MAIL, BUT WHEN ASKED IF THE DEPARTMENT KNEW ITS INMATES WERE ADVERTISING THEMSELVES ONLINE, ALL IT WOULD SAY IS IT'S BEEN 'MADE AWARE'. THE SITE IS NOW PRIVATE, MEANING ONLY MEMBERS CAN SEE WHAT HAPPENS ON THE PAGE. BUT MORE THAN 800 FOLLOWERS ALREADY HAVE ACCESS TO CONTACT DETAILS FOR DOZENS OF NZ'S WORST CRIMINALS AND VICE VERSA. PEOPLE ARE WRITING TO THEM, REVEALING THEIR LIFE DETAILS AND THEIR ADDRESSES. IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE. BUT THE SITE SAYS IT'S ALL ABOUT REHABILITATION, BECAUSE ALL THE PRISONERS WILL ONE DAY BE RELEASED. IT'S JUST REALLY LONELY, AND, YEAH, THEY NEED FRIENDS. THEY'RE HUMAN LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE. AND NICHOLAS REEKIE, THE SERIAL RAPIST WHO ONCE ATTACKED AN 11 YEAR OLD GIRL, AGREES. HE WANTS A GOOD FUTURE. AND HE WANTS TO FIND A GOOD PERSON TO WRITE TO UNTIL HIS RELEASE IN 2022. RUTH WYNN-WILLIAMS, ONE NEWS. THE LABOUR WEEKEND ROAD TOLL STANDS AT THREE, BUT WITH MANY HOLIDAYMAKERS STILL MAKING THEIR WAY BACK HOME, POLICE ARE URGING CAUTION ON OUR ROADS. MONIQUE FISCHER JOINS US NOW LIVE FROM THE AUCKLAND NEWSROOM, MONIQUE, POLICE AREN'T HAPPY DESPITE A QUIET DAY ON OUR ROADS TODAY? TODAY'S BEEN THE FIRST DAY OF THIS WEEKEND WITHOUT ANY FATALITIES. THE NUMBER OF 3 IS DOWN FROM 5 ` THE NATIONAL AVERAGE BUT POLICE SAY IT'S NOT ABOUT THE NUMBER, BUT ABOUT THE FAMILIES WE'VE GOT A RAIN BAND MOVING UP THE COUNTRY AT THE MOMENT. WE'D LIKE PEOPLE TO TAKE CARE, PARTICULARLY IN THE WET. GIVE THEMSELVES A GOOD FOUR-SECOND FOLLOWING DISTANCE AND JUST TAKE IT EASY. WATCH THE OVERTAKING AND THE SPEED. THERE ARE 8 HOURS LEFT FOR THE HOLIDAY ROAD TOLL IT FINISHES 6AM TOMORROW MMORNING. POLICE INVESTIGATING A FIRE AT A CONTROVERSIAL WEST AUCKLAND MOSQUE NOW BELIEVE IT WAS DELIBERATELY LIT. A SCENE EXAMINATION'S BEEN CARRIED OUT AT THE AVONDALE ISLAMIC CENTRE WHERE A STORAGE SHED BURNT DOWN EARLY YESTERDAY MORNING. THE CENTRE WAS CLOSED IN MAY AFTER A LONG-RUNNING LEADERSHIP STRUGGLE INVOLVING CLAIMS OF VIOLENCE AND EXTREMISM. ON A DAY THAT CELEBRATES WORKER'S RIGHTS, THE NEW MINISTER OF WORKPLACE RELATIONS HAS REVEALED HE MAY GO FURTHER WITH CONTROVERSIAL EMPLOYMENT LAWS. AS SOME ANZ WORKERS PROTEST THE BANK'S PLAN TO INTRODUCE FLEXIBILITY INTO THEIR COLLECTIVE AGREEMENT, MICHAEL WOODHOUSE SAYS HE'S CONFIDENT THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT EMPLOYERS AND EMPLOYEES WANT. THESE ARE PRAGMATIC AND SENSIBLE AMENDMENTS THAT DON'T UNDERMINE THE PRINCIPLES OF COLLECTIVE BARGAINING OR PROTECTION FOR VULNERABLE WORKERS. HE SAYS PEOPLE NEED CHOICES RATHER THAN BEING LOCKED INTO ONE WAY OF WORKING. MR WOODHOUSE BELIEVES THE EMPLOYMENT RELATIONS AMENDMENT BILL WILL HELP WITH SUCH ISSUES, AND THAT'S EXPECTED TO PASS INTO LAW IN THE NEXT FORTNIGHT. IN CASE YOU'VE EVER WONDERED WHAT LABOUR DAY IS ALL ABOUT, IT COMMEMORATES THE STRUGGLE FOR THE EIGHT-HOUR WORKING DAY, SOMETHING KIWIS WERE AMONG THE FIRST IN THE WORLD TO ACHIEVE. WELLINGTON CARPENTER SAMUEL PARNELL WON THE RIGHT IN 1840 WHEN HE REFUSED TO WORK MORE THAN EIGHT HOURS, AND ENCOURAGED OTHERS TO DO THE SAME. HE ARGUED THAT EACH DAY SHOULD HAVE EIGHT HOURS FOR WORK, EIGHT FOR REST AND EIGHT FOR RECREATION. HALF A CENTURY LATER, THE FIRST LABOUR DAY WAS CELEBRATED WITH GOVERNMENT WORKERS GIVEN THE DAY OFF. IT BECAME A PUBLIC HOLIDAY IN 1900. EARLY LABOUR DAY PARADES ATTRACTED HUGE CROWDS. THEY STARTED TO DECLINE AFTER THE 1920s, AND LABOUR DAY BECAME JUST ANOTHER HOLIDAY, BUT ONE STILL CONNECTED WITH WORKER RIGHTS. A CHRISTCHURCH MOTHER WITH TERMINAL BREAST CANCER IS GIVING SOME OF HER LAST DAYS TO SCIENCE. KELLEIGH BURKETT T IS HEADING TO SYDNEY TO TAKE PART IN A DRUG TRIAL SHE HOPES WILL GIVE HER MORE TIME AND SAVE THE LIVES OF OTHERS. PUTTING ALL MY FAVOURITE PHOTOS IN. IT'S NOT A TRIP KELLEIGH BURKETT WANTS TO BE PACKING FOR. REMEMBER, ANYTIME THAT YOU MISS MUMMY, YOU JUST RING ME. BUT THE 42-YEAR-OLD'S ON BORROWED TIME. SHE HAS BREAST CANCER WHICH HAS SPREAD TO HER BRAIN, LIVER AND SPINE. SHE'S EXHAUSTED MOST TREATMENT OPTIONS HERE, BUT BECAUSE SHE'S TERMINAL, SHE'S NOW ELIGIBLE FOR A WORLDWIDE DRUG TRIAL WHICH SPECIFICALLY TARGETS HER BRCA2-TYPE OF CANCER IT'S MY LAST BEST HOPE, AND EVERYBODY NEEDS HOPE. THE ONLY CATCH IS THAT THE TRIAL'S IN SYDNEY. IT'S BEEN, OBVIOUSLY, THE HARDEST DECISION OF MY LIFE. IT'S NOT THE TRIAL ITSELF; IT'S LEAVING MY FAMILY BEHIND INITIALLY. KELLEIGH'S STEALING PRECIOUS MOMENTS TODAY,... BATMAN! ...BECAUSE IT'LL BE NINE WEEKS BEFORE SHE KNOWS IF THE TREATMENT'S WORKING. IF IT WORKS, IT COULD POTENTIALLY ADD A COUPLE OF YEARS TO MY LIFE. BUT IT MAY NOT EXTEND MY LIFE AT ALL, SO IN WHICH CASE, I MAY HAVE WASTED THREE MONTHS AWAY FROM MY CHILDREN. NOT ONLY THAT, BUT FUNDING THE TRIP'S A HUGE FINANCIAL BURDEN. SHE HOPES ALL THE SACRIFICES WILL BE WORTH IT AND THAT THE RESEARCH WILL ALSO HELP OTHERS, PERHAPS EVEN HER DAUGHTERS, WHO'VE A 50% CHANCE OF INHERITING THE CANCER GENE. I AM BASICALLY GIVING MY BODY UP FOR SCIENCE. BUT IT'S BEEN HARD TO EXPLAIN. MY DAUGHTER IS TURNING 10 AT THE END OF NOVEMBER, AND I'VE JUST HAD TO TELL HER I'M MISSING HER 10TH BIRTHDAY. IT BETTER DAMN WORK,... COS I NEED TO BE WITH MY KIDS. AND THEY NEED THEIR MUM. JOY REID, ONE NEWS. A TEENAGER WHO'S BEEN IN ISOLATION IN AN AUSTRALIAN HOSPITAL HAS TESTED NEGATIVE FOR EBOLA. THE 18-YEAR-OLD DEVELOPED A FEVER AFTER ARRIVING IN BRISBANE FROM GUINEA. SHE'LL REMAIN IN HOSPITAL AND UNDERGO A SECOND TEST FOR THE DEADLY VIRUS ON WEDNESDAY. MEANWHILE, AN AMERICAN NURSE HELD IN MANDATORY QUARANTINE AFTER TREATING EBOLA PATIENTS IN WEST AFRICA, SAYS SHE'LL CHALLENGE HER CONFINEMENT IN A FEDERAL COURT. KACI HICKOX SAYS DESPITE TESTING NEGATIVE FOR THE VIRUS, SHE WAS MADE TO FEEL LIKE A CRIMINAL WHEN SHE ARRIVED AT NEW JERSEY AIRPORT. THIS IS AN EXTREME THAT IS REALLY UNACCEPTABLE, AND I FEEL LIKE MY BASIC HUMAN RIGHTS HAVE BEEN VIOLATED. THE WHITE HOUSE WARNS SUCH TREATMENT COULD STOP AID WORKERS TRAVELLING TO WEST AFRICA TO HELP IN THE FIGHT AGAINST THE DISEASE. IT'S NOW WORKING ON NEW GUIDELINES FOR PEOPLE RETURNING FROM EBOLA HOT SPOTS. IT SEEMS ALMOST AS SOON AS A BABY IS BORN, ITS PROUD PARENTS HAVE TOLD OR SHOWN YOU ON SOCIAL MEDIA. BUT DO WE REALLY UNDERSTAND WHAT KIND OF DIGITAL FOOTPRINT'S BEING LEFT BEHIND AND THE IMPACT IT MIGHT HAVE ON CHILDREN'S LATER LIFE? THAT'S ONE SMALL STEP FOR MAN. THESE IMAGES ARE FOREVER IMMORTALISED IN HUMAN HISTORY. ONE GIANT LEAP FOR MANKIND. THESE ARE NOT. BOO! (LAUGHS LOUDLY) YET IT'S NOW THE EXTRA ORDINARY THAT'S POSTED ONLINE EVERY DAY. IN FACT, SOME OVERSEAS RESEARCH SAYS WITHIN AN HOUR OF A BABY BEING BORN, THEY MAKE THEIR ONLINE DEBUT. OK, EVERYONE THINKS I'M REALLY UPTIGHT. NOT LITTLE IVY. HER MUM, BECK, DECIDED ON A BABY BLACKOUT. I THINK IT'S MY ROLE AS A PARENT TO RESPECT HER IMAGE. YOU MIGHT THINK THAT'S A BIT OVER THE TOP, BUT LIKE THOSE FIRST FOOTSTEPS ON THE MOON, THE DIGITAL AGE IS A NEW FRONTIER. WE FOUND TWO VERY DIFFERENT VIEWS FROM THE EXPERTS. I THINK IT'S AWESOME WE'RE PASSING ON MEMORIES. I DON'T THINK IT'S A PROBLEM AT ALL. WE LOST CONTROL, AND THIS IS THE ONLY FACT WHAT WE KNOW. THINK HOW THINGS HAVE CHANGED IN JUST 10 YEARS. WE DON'T UNDERSTAND THE CONSEQUENCES OF PRESENTING SOME PERSONAL... REALLY DEEPLY PERSONAL INFORMATION ON INTERNET. AND IF WE FAST-FORWARD TO A WHOLE LIFE LIVED ONLINE, THIS IS WHAT THE FUTURE COULD HOLD. WHAT IF WE COULD REDUCE THE NUMBER OF DOCTOR VISITS BY 50% JUST BY SHARING OUR ACTIVITIES WITH OUR DOCTORS? AND LITTLE IVY? WELL, FOR NOW, SHE, IRONICALLY, HAS HER SIGHT SET ON ONE OF THE MOST PHOTOGRAPHED BABIES IN THE WORLD ` PRINCE GEORGE. MELISSA STOKES, ONE NEWS. STEAM TRAINS THAT ONCE CARRIED SOLDIERS TO WAR HAVE TAKEN CENTRE STAGE IN A LABOUR DAY COMMEMORATION AT GLENBROOK HERITAGE RAILWAY. THIS LOCOMOTIVE, BUILT 99 YEARS AGO, HAS UNDERGONE AN EXTENSIVE RESTORATION TO BECOME A MOVING WAR MEMORIAL. 5000 NZ RAILWAYMEN ENLISTED IN WWI. THIS ENGINE HONOURS THE 450 KILLED. PASSCHENDAELE WAS WHERE A LOT OF THE NZ RAILWAYMEN LOST THEIR LIVES, AND SO THEY THOUGHT IT WAS APPROPRIATE TO COMMEMORATE AN ENGINE IN MEMORY OF THOSE MEN. THE ENGINE WORKED THE COUNTRY'S RAILWAYS UNTIL 1967, WHEN IT WAS RETIRED. GOOD NEWS FOR SPRING SKI BUNNIES. OPERATORS AT MT RUAPEHU HAVE BACKED DOWN ON PLANS TO CHARGE SEASON PASS HOLDERS TO ENJOY THE EXTENDED SEASON. RUAPEHU ALPINE LIFTS HAD TOLD SEASON PASS HOLDERS THEY'D HAVE TO PAY AN EXTRA $20 A DAY TO SKI DURING THE EXTRA TWO WEEKS TUROA SKIFIELD'S OPEN. BUT AFTER A BACKLASH FROM CUSTOMERS, THEY'VE NOW REVERSED THE DECISON. BOLDLY GOING WHERE NO MAN HAS GONE BEFORE. YES, IT'S A CLICHE, BUT ONE THAT BASICALLY SUMS UP THE LIFE OF JAMES CAMERON, FILM DIRECTOR, PRODUCER AND DEEP SEA EXPLORER. KRISTIN HALL WAS AT THE PREVIEW SCREENING OF HIS LATEST FILM, A JOURNEY TO THE DEEPEST KNOWN POINT ON THE PLANET. SILENT, BARREN, A WORLD UNEXPLORED. WELL, THAT WAS UNTIL JAMES CAMERON DECIDED TO DELVE INTO IT. THIS IS THE LAST GREAT FRONTIER OF OUR WORLD. IT'S MY DREAM TO BUILD A MACHINE TO TAKE US THERE THIS 12-TON STATE-OF-THE-ART VERTICAL SUBMARINE WAS SEVEN YEARS IN THE MAKING, AND IT ALL STEMMED FROM THE DIRECTOR'S CHILDHOOD FANTASIES. I STARTED PREPARING FOR THESE DIVES WHEN I WAS A KID, GETTING IN A CARDBOARD BOX, CLOSING THE LID, IMAGINING IT WAS A SUBMARINE. THE GOAL ` TO REACH THE BOTTOM OF THE MARIANA TRENCH OFF THE COAST OF GUAM, NEARLY 36,000FT UNDERWATER. MT EVEREST COULD FIT IN A TRENCH WITH 7000FT TO SPARE. LIKE ANY GOOD FILM, IT'S NOT LACKING IN DRAMA. EVERYTHING'S GOING HAYWIRE, AND I'M GETTING DEEPER AND DEEPER. BUT JAMES CAMERON CAPTURED IT ALL, AND TODAY WELLINGTONIANS WERE TREATED TO A SPECIAL PREVIEW SCREENING AND A CHANCE TO ASK QUESTIONS TO THE MAN HIMSELF. I ACTUALLY GOT TO TALK TO JAMES CAMERON. WHAT'D YOU ASK HIM? I ASKED HIM, 'WHERE ARE YOU GOING TO DIVE NEXT?' ON MY BUCKET LIST IS DEFINITELY DIVING THE KERMADEC TRENCH AND THE TONGA TRENCH. HE WAS LESS FORTHCOMING WHEN IT CAME TO THE COST OF THE LARGELY SELF-FUNDED PROJECT. THE EXPEDITION COST ABOUT` I'D SAY AS MUCH AS THE SUB COST, AND I'M NOT GONNA TELL YOU WHAT EITHER ONE OF THOSE COST. BUT WHEN IT CAME TO THE FEAR FACTOR... I WAS MUCH MORE NERVOUS BEFORE THEY OPENED THE ENVELOPE AT THE ACADEMY AWARDS IN 1998, LET ME PUT IT THAT WAY. I MEAN, IN THE SUB I CAN ONLY DIE. ENCOURAGING WORDS FOR THE NEXT GENERATION OF EXPLORERS JUST AHEAD, THE CAPTAIN OF A FERRY WHICH SANK KILLING 300 COULD PAY THE ULTIMATE PRICE. A SPECTACULAR BUT TERRIFYING SIGHT IN HAWAII AS LAVA HEADS TOWARDS HOMES. AND YES, IT'S REAL. NO, ITS NOT FOR EVERYONE, BUT ITS MADE THIS BLOKE A CHAMPION. SOUTH KOREAN PROSECUTORS ARE SEEKING THE DEATH PENALTY FOR THE CAPTAIN OF THE FERRY THAT CAPSIZED, KILLING MORE THAN 300 PEOPLE. CAPTAIN LEE JOON-SEOK IS ON TRIAL FOR MURDER, ALONG WITH THREE OTHER CREW MEMBERS. THE 68-YEAR-OLD HAS APOLOGISED FOR ABANDONING HIS PASSENGERS WHEN THE FERRY SANK IN APRIL, SAYING HE DIDN'T KNOW HIS ACTIONS WOULD LEAD TO THEIR DEATHS. PROSECUTORS ARE AIMING FOR LIFE SENTENCES FOR THE THREE OTHERS. BRITISH FORCES HAVE OFFICIALLY ENDED COMBAT OPERATIONS IN AFGHANISTAN, 13 YEARS AFTER THEY BEGAN. CONTROL OF BRITAIN'S LAST MILITARY BASE IN THE COUNTRY, CAMP BASTION, HAS BEEN FORMALLY HANDED OVER TO THE AFGHAN SECURITY FORCES. THE CEREMONY ALSO HONOURED THE 453 BRITISH TROOPS KILLED IN AFGHANISTAN SINCE 2001. THERE IS REGRET HERE FOR EVERY SINGLE SERVICEMAN WHO'S LOST THEIR LIFE IN THIS COUNTRY, AND ALL THOSE WHO'VE BEEN WOUNDED, AND WE HOLD THEM IN OUR HEARTS TO THE VERY END OF OUR DAYS. ALL NATO COMBAT TROOPS WILL LEAVE THE COUNTRY BY DECEMBER. PRO-WESTERN PARTIES ARE SET TO FORM A COALITION GOVERNMENT IN UKRAINE AFTER THE FIRST ELECTIONS SINCE FEBRUARY'S REVOLUTION. EXIT POLLS SHOW THE PARTIES OF PRESIDENT PETRO POROSHENKO AND PRIME MINISTER ARSENY YATSENYUK DOMINATING. THERE WAS NO VOTING IN AREAS CONTROLLED BY PRO-RUSSIAN REBELS. LEADERS THERE WILL HOLD THEIR OWN ELECTION NEXT WEEK. ALSO NOT ABLE TO VOTE WAS THE INTERNET PARTY'S MAIN CANDIDATE. HE DRESSED UP AS DARTH VADER AND REFUSED TO TAKE OFF HIS MASK TO CONFIRM HIS IDENTITY. AND BRAZIL'S PRESIDENT DILMA ROUSSEFF IS TONIGHT CELEBRATING HER RE-ELECTION. SHE WON THE COUNTRY'S TIGHEST ELECTION RACE SINCE ITS RETURN TO DEMOCRACY THREE DECADES AGO, EDGING OUT SENATOR AECIO NEVES BY JUST 3% OF THE VOTE. RESIDENTS OF THE SMALL HAWAIIAN TOWN OF PAHOA ARE BEING URGED TO FLEE THEIR HOMES AS A RIVER OF LAVA MOVES CLOSER. BECAUSE, AS THE ABC'S CLAYTON SANDELL REPORTS, IT SEEMS NOTHING CAN BE DONE TO STOP THE FLOW OF FIRE SPEWING FROM A NEARBY VOLCANO. IT IS THE BIG ISLAND'S LAVA MONSTER. NOW RIGHT ON THE DOORSTEP OF THIS SMALL TOWN. FROM THE AIR, A VIEW OF THE INEVITABLE. LAVA AND HOUSES IN THE TOWN OF PAHOA ARE NOW JUST HUNDREDS OF YARDS APART. IN THE LAST 24 HOURS, THE LAVA SCORCHED A PATH THREE MORE FOOTBALL FIELDS LONG, BEARING CLOSER TO DOZENS OF FAMILIES WHO ARE NOW BEING TOLD THEY MAY HAVE TO EVACUATE AS EARLY AS TUESDAY. IT'S REALLY HARD TO LEAVE THE HOME THAT WE'VE BEEN HERE FOR OVER 40 YEARS. EXPERTS BELIEVE THIS RIVER OF FIRE WILL LIKELY FLOW DOWN ONE OF THESE LOW-LYING PATHWAYS. WITHIN DAYS, IT COULD CUT RIGHT THROUGH ENTIRE NEIGHBOURHOODS, EVENTUALLY BURYING PAHOA'S MAIN HIGHWAY. WE'VE ACTUALLY REACHED THE LAVA FIELD. NOW, YOU CAN SEE HOW BIG IT IS JUST BY LOOKING AT OUR GUIDE UP THERE ` HOW SMALL HE APPEARS. THE LAVA IS A 2000 DEGREE FORCE THAT STOPS FOR NOTHING. STANDING HERE IS EXTREMELY HOT ` ALMOST LIKE STANDING, LITERALLY, INSIDE AN OVEN. THERE IS NO WAY TO SUCCESSFULLY DIVERT THE LAVA, OFFICIALS SAY. THE ONLY THING NOW IS TO LET NATURE RUN ITS SOMETIMES DESTRUCTIVE COURSE. THE CAPTAIN OF SOUTH AFRICA'S FOOTBALL TEAM, SENZO MEYIWA, HAS BEEN KILLED IN JOHANNESBURG. IT'S BELIEVED THE 27-YEAR-OLD WAS SHOT DEAD AT HIS GIRLFRIEND'S HOUSE. SOUTH AFRICAN POLICE SAY TWO MEN ENTERED THE HOUSE WHILE A THIRD MAN STAYED OUTSIDE. ALL THREE FLED AFTER SHOTS WERE FIRED. MEYIWA WAS PRONOUNCED DEAD ON ARRIVAL AT THE HOSPITAL. REEVA STEENKAMP HAD PACKED HER BAGS AND WAS PLANNING TO LEAVE OSCAR PISTORIUS ON THE NIGHT HE SHOT AND KILLED HER. THAT'S THE CLAIM MADE IN A NEW BOOK BY REEVA'S MOTHER, JUNE STEENKAMP, WHO SAYS SHE'S STILL HAUNTED BY IMAGES OF THE SHOOTING. THE DISGRACED ATHLETE HAS BEEN JAILED FOR FIVE YEARS FOR SHOOTING DEAD THE MODEL (29). FRESH FROM DEALING TO THE KANGAROOS, THE KIWIS HAVE TURNED THEIR ATTENTION TO SAVING THEIR FEATHERED NAMESAKE. 'THE KIWIS FOR KIWI' CAMPAIGN AIMS TO HALT THE DECLINE OF OUR NATIONAL ICON. TODAY, THE LEAGUE PLAYERS MET WITH A BIRD REARED AT AUCKLAND ZOO. THEY LEARNT HOW THE SPECIES IS THREATENED WITH EXTINCTION IN 50 YEARS IF PREDATORS LIKE DOGS AND STOATS KEEP KILLING THEM AT THE CURRENT RATE. I THINK 27 OF THEM DIE A WEEK, WHICH IS SOMETHING` IT'S PRETTY BIG, WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT THERE BEING ONLY 75,000 LEFT IN NZ. WHAT GETS BACK TO ME IS IF WE EVER LOST ALL THE KIWIS IN NZ, WHAT WOULD WE NAME OURSELVES? SO YOU HOLD HIM JUST LIKE THAT. AMONG THE KIWI SUPPORTERS ` ISSAC LUKE ` SET TO REJOIN THE SQUAD AFTER MISSING THE NRL GRAND FINAL AND MATCH AGAINST AUSTRALIA. JUST AHEAD, A LITTLE THING WE CALL THE WEATHER FORCAST, AND MAN'S BEST FRIEND STARTS TO DEEPLY RESENT MAN AS THEY ARE TRUSSED UP FOR HALLOWEEN. NOW, YOU MAY HAVE NOTICED BEARDS SEEM TO BE MEN'S MUST-HAVE ACCESSORY RIGHT NOW. SO YOU CAN IMAGINE HOW PROUD THIS MAN IS. OUT OF ABOUT 300 CONTESTANTS, MADISON ROWLEY HAS BEEN CROWNED THE WINNER OF A WORLD BEARD AND MOUSTACHE CHAMPIONSHIP. AND THE MEN AREN'T JUST JUDGED ON THE SIZE OR FULLNESS OF THEIR BEARDS BUT ALSO HOW THE FACIAL HAIR COMPLEMENTS THEIR STYLE AND PERSONALITY. TO ANOTHER QUITE OUT-THERE COMPETITION NOW. BASE JUMPERS FROM AROUND THE WORLD HAVE CONVERGED IN CHINA FOR RED BULL'S WINGSUIT GRAND PRIX. THE DOWNHILL RACE IS 1.2KM LONG WITH AN 800M VERTICAL DROP. LANDING WITH PANACHE, THE WINNER TOOK OUT THE WIN BY A FRACTION OF A SECOND. THIS FRIDAY IS HALLOWEEN, AND FOR MANY, NORMALLY ANYONE UNDER 12, THAT MEANS DONNING DRESS-UPS AND TROTTING AROUND TRICKING OR TREATING. WELL, IN THE US, THAT FUN'S NOT LIMITED TO HUMANS. ABC'S SARA HAINES EXPLAINS. THIS WEEKEND, NEW YORK'S PROUDEST PUP OWNERS DRESSED UP THEIR FOUR-LEGGED FRIENDS FOR THE TOMPKINS SQUARE HALLOWEEN DOG PARADE ` THE WORLD'S LARGEST DOG COSTUME COMPETITION. SILLY, SPOOKY, QUIRKY AND KOOKY, THESE DOGS ROCK IN ALL SORTS OF LOOKS; STRUTTIN' DOWN THE RUNWAY, SOAKING UP THE APPLAUSE. APPLAUSE THE MUTTS NOT THE ONLY ONES IN MASQUERADE. MANY DOG OWNERS COORDINATED WITH THEIR CANINES. DARLING IS AN EWOK FROM 'STAR WARS', AND WE DECIDED TO WITH CHEWBACCA AND R2-D2. WE'RE WEREWOLF FAMILY. DOG BARKS THE PRICE FOR LOOKING GOOD ` NOT CHEAP. AMERICANS ARE PROJECTED TO SPEND MORE THAN $300 MILLION THIS YEAR ON PET COSTUMES AND A HEFTY INVESTMENT OF TIME TOO. IT TOOK ME A FEW WEEKS TO DO IT ALL. WE'VE BEEN DOING THIS SINCE AUGUST. SO, EVERYTHING IS HANDMADE ` THE CARRIAGE, HER GOWN. OF COURSE, THE POOCHES ARE MUCH MORE INTERESTED IN TRICK OR TREATING. NOW TO THE WEATHER. FOR WEATHER, SEE ONENEWS.CO.NZ THAT'S IT FROM US HERE ON TONIGHT. IF YOU WANT TO GET IN TOUCH, YOU CAN HERE... THANKS FOR WATCHING. GOODNIGHT. CAPTIONS BY ANNE LANGFORD AND IMOGEN STAINES.
