TONIGHT ` THE ROCK 'N' ROLL DRUMMER IN COURT OVER A MURDER PLOT. IS THIS THE END FOR THE PIKE RIVER FAMILIES? SOLID ENERGY ABANDONS PLANS TO RE-ENTER THE MINE. PLUS ` ALL BLACK IS BACK. THE HIGH-TECH JERSEY THAT TOOK TWO YEARS TO DEVELOP. DUE TO THE LIVE NATURE OF TONIGHT, WE APOLOGISE FOR THE LACK OF CAPTIONS FOR SOME ITEMS. HE HAS MONEY, FAME AND A MUSIC CAREER IN ONE OF THE BIGGEST BANDS. BUT TONIGHT, AC/DC'S DRUMMER IS ACCUSED OF TRYING TO GET TWO MEN MURDERED IN TAURANGA. PHIL RUDD IS ALSO FACING CHARGES OF THREATENING TO KILL AND POSSESSING METHAMPHETAMINE. DANIELLE STANBURY REPORTS. # IT'S A LONG WAY TO THE TOP IF YOU WANNA ROCK 'N' ROLL. # AND THIS IS A LONG WAY FROM THE DIZZYING HEIGHTS OF STARDOM. IT MAY NOT BE THE STAGE HE'S USED TO, BUT STILL ALL EYES WERE ON AC/DC DRUMMER PHIL RUDD. HIS APPEARANCE IN THE TAURANGA DISTRICT COURT WAS BRIEF. HIS FOUR CHARGES, THOUGH, ARE SERIOUS. IT'S ALLEGED THE ROCKSTAR TRIED TO HAVE TWO MEN KILLED. THEIR IDENTITIES HAVE BEEN SUPPRESSED BY THE COURTS. HE'S ALSO CHARGED WITH THREATENING TO KILL AND POSSESSING METHAMPHETAMINE AND CANNABIS. THE 60-YEAR-OLD MOVED TO NZ IN THE '80S, SETTLING INTO LIFE ON THE BEACH SURROUNDED BY HIS LUXURY CARS AND HELICOPTERS. MR RUDD'S A COLOURFUL CHARACTER. YOU KNOW, WE KNOW HIM IN THE AREA. HE'S A REALLY PROMINENT FIGURE AROUND HERE. SECURITY GUARDS HAVE BEEN POSTED OUTSIDE HIS HOUSE FOR THE PAST MONTH. ONE NEIGHBOUR WE SPOKE TO WAS SURPRISED BY THE SERIOUSNESS OF THE ALLEGATIONS. (EXHALES) REALLY?! A FEW WEEKS AGO, THE FIRST SIGN OF A STRUGGLE WITHIN THE BAND EMERGED. AC/DC RELEASED THIS GROUP PHOTO. PHIL RUDD, HOWEVER, WAS NOWHERE TO BE SEEN. THE RUMOURS HAVE BEEN SWIRLING AROUND AC/DC FOR SOME TIME. MALCOLM'S ILLNESS, OF COURSE, AND SUGGESTIONS, IN FACT, THAT PHIL RUDD WAS ON THE OUTER FROM THE OTHER GUYS. ANOTHER TOUR FOR THE ROCK LEGENDS IS IN THE WORKS, AND EARLIER THIS YEAR, RUDD WAS ADAMANT HE'D BE THERE. THERE'LL BE ANOTHER TOUR, AND I'LL BE ON IT. AND IF THERE'S ANOTHER ONE, I'LL BE ON THAT, AND IF THERE'S A RECORD, I'LL BE ON THAT. IT'LL GO ON TILL IT DIES. NOW ACCUSED OF LIVING THE LIFESTYLE THE BAND HAS BEEN SINGING ABOUT FOR YEARS, IT'S UNLIKELY RUDD WILL BE GOING ANYWHERE SOON. DANIELLE STANBURY, ONE NEWS AND REPORTER RUTH WYNN-WILLIAMS IS IN TAURANGA FROM WHERE SHE SENT THIS UPDATE. AS YOU HEARD IN THAT TRACK, EVEN DRUG CHARGES ALONE CARRY VERY SERIOUS IMPLICATIONS FOR SOMEONE WHOSE ENTIRE CAREER IS BUILT AROUND GLOBAL TRAVEL. PHIL RUDD IS BAILED TO THIS UPMARKET TAURANGA ADDRESS. HE'S VERY POPULAR IN THIS AREA, AND AS YOU CAN SEE, SECURITY IS STILL HERE THIS EVENING. I'M NOT SURE IF YOU CAN SEE CLOSELY ENOUGH, THOUGH, AT THE WINDOWS ` THEY'VE BEEN COVERED UP, BUT THEY'VE ACTUALLY BEEN COVERED UP WITH POSTERS FROM THE ARTIST'S RECENT SOLO ALBUM. PART OF HIS BAIL MEANS HE CAN'T TRAVEL TO TWO TAURANGA ADDRESSES HE'LL STAY HERE AT HOME UNTIL THE 27TH OF NOVEMBER WHEN HE'S DUE BACK IN COURT. FOUR YEARS AFTER THEY LOST THEIR HUSBANDS, BROTHERS AND SONS, THE PIKE RIVER FAMILIES' BATTLE HAS COME TO AN END. THE 29 BODIES WILL REMAIN IN THE MINE AFTER SOLID ENERGY CONFIRMED THERE'LL BE NO RE-ENTRY. HERE'S LISA DAVIES. INCONSOLABLE AT THE NEWS PIKE RIVER WILL BE A PERMANENT TOMB FOR THE PIKE 29. TO BE TOLD THIS IS WHERE OUR MEN WILL HAVE TO LIE PERMANENTLY, IT'S... IT'S JUST SO UNJUST AND UNFAIR. ANNA OSBOURNE CARRIED HER HOPES FOR HER HUSBAND'S RETURN TO THE MEETING BUT LEFT DISTRESSED. TO NOT BE ABLE TO HAVE MY MAN HOME AND FOR NO ONE TO BE HELD TO ACCOUNT OVER THIS, WHAT'S WRONG WITH OUR JUSTICE SYSTEM? WHAT HAVE THE FAMILIES GOT, YOU KNOW? WE'VE GOT A LIFE SENTENCE HERE. SOLID ENERGY CONFIRMED WHAT THEY HAD ALL DREADED ` THERE WOULD BE NO RE-ENTRY. THE RISKS TO LIFE REMAIN TOO HIGH. WE ACKNOWLEDGE THAT WASN'T WHAT THE FAMILIES WANTED TO HEAR, BUT THE BOARD'S RESPONSIBILITY WAS TO THE PEOPLE WHO WOULD BE UNDERTAKING THE RE-ENTRY. THE FAMILIES NEVER WANTED LIVES RISKED FOR RE-ENTRY, AS IMPORTANT AS IT IS TO THEM. IT'S SO DIFFERENT TO HAVE THAT CLOSURE, THAT KNOWLEDGE, THAT LAST CUDDLE. AND I THINK A LOT OF THE FAMILIES ARE NEVER GONNA HAVE THAT. THE PRIME MINISTER, WHO WAS HECKLED BY PROTESTORS AS HE ARRIVED... HAVE EMPATHY FOR THE FAMILIES! ...ACCEPTS THE DECISION BUT HAS AGREED TO A FAMILY REQUEST FOR A CROWN LAW REVIEW, GIVEN NO CRIMINAL PROSECUTIONS HAVE BEEN MADE OVER THE FATAL EXPLOSION. I THINK A MORE FRUITFUL PATHWAY IS POTENTIALLY TO LOOK AT CIVIL PROCEEDINGS AGAINST THE INDIVIDUALS. THE FAMILIES WERE ALSO SUCCESSFUL IN THEIR REQUEST THAT SOLID ENERGY RELINQUISH ITS PERMIT TO EVER MINE AT PIKE. THE SITE WILL BE TURNED INTO A MEMORIAL TO THE MEN WHO DIED THERE. MAYBE OUR MEN CAN REST SAFELY, KNOWING THAT IT WILL NEVER EVER BE USED. BUT IS IT ENOUGH FOR BERNIE MONK, WHO HAS LED THE CHARGE TO HAVE ALL OF THE MEN RETURNED? I WANT TO GET MY GUYS HOME, BUT, UM, YOU KNOW, THE LIKELIHOOD IS PRETTY MINIMAL NOW. IT'S MY LIFE. I'VE GOTTA GET ON WITH MY LIFE. THIS IS OUR LIFE SENTENCE. WE'RE LIVING IT. WE'RE THE ONES BEING PUNISHED FOR EVERYONE ELSE'S <BLEEP> UPS. TODAY DID LITTLE TO BRING AN END TO HER GRIEVING. BUT ALONG WITH THE ANGER, THERE'S A SENSE OF RESIGNATION AND ACCEPTANCE. AS LISA DAVIES EXPLAINS, THE MINE'S TO BE TURNED INTO MEMORIAL TO THE MEN WHO STILL LIE THERE. WELL, AS YOU CAN SEE, EMOTIONS ARE STILL RUNNING HIGH ALMOST FOUR YEARS SINCE THAT FATAL EXPLOSION. BUT THAT'S BECAUSE FOR FOUR YEARS, THEY'VE BEEN MAINTAINING THE FIGHT TO BRING THEIR 29 MEN OUT. AND TODAY THAT FIGHT CAME TO AN END. THE FAMILY LAWYER, COLIN SMITH, SAID IT'S BEEN A TORTUROUS JOURNEY FOR THEM, AND HE'S SEEN THEM PUSH THROUGH THE ANGUISH TO COME UP WITH A LIST OF THINGS THAT THEY WANT TO BE DONE IN THE NAME OF THEIR MEN, AND HE IS HOPING THAT THIS WILL BE A POSITIVE TURNING POINT. ONE OF THOSE THINGS IN THE LIST WAS RELINQUISHING THE PERMIT TO MINE PIKE RIVER AND TURN THE SITE INTO A MEMORIAL TO THE MEN. THAT WISH APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN GRANTED. THE GOVERNMENT WILL NOW WORK WITH THE FAMILIES TO DEVELOP THE SITE. THERE'S $2M LEFT FROM THE RE-ENTRY FUND. THEY CAN MAKE IT A PLACE` THE SORT OF PLACE THAT THEY WANT TO GO WHEN THEY WANT TO REMEMBER THEIR MEN, AND THEY CAN GO THERE WHENEVER THEY LIKE. FROM GREYMOUTH, THAT'S LISA DAVIES. POLICE HAVE LAUNCHED A HOMICIDE INVESTIGATION AFTER A MAN DIED AT A HOUSE IN WEST AUCKLAND TONIGHT. ANOTHER PERSON WAS TAKEN TO WAITAKERE HOSPITAL WITH MINOR INJURIES. POLICE SAY THEY'RE LOOKING FOR A MAN WHO IS KNOWN TO THE OCCUPANTS OF THE WAITAKERE ADDRESS. THE HOUSE WILL BE GUARDED OVERNIGHT AND A FULL SCENE EXAMINATION WILL TAKE PLACE TOMORROW MORNING. AND POLICE ARE TALKING TO WITNESSES TO A FATAL ACCIDENT IN CENTRAL OTAGO LATE THIS AFTERNOON. THREE PEOPLE DIED WHEN A VAN AND TRUCK COLLIDED AT AN INTERSECTION ON STATE HIGHWAY 6 NEAR LUGGATE. THE ROAD IS CLOSED, AND A DETOUR IS IN PLACE. YET ANOTHER PROBLEM AND ANOTHER INVESTIGATION FOR THE TROUBLED INTERISLANDER FERRY SERVICE AFTER THE ARAHURA HAD ENGINE TROUBLE IN WELLINGTON HARBOUR. TUG BOATS WERE USED TO TOW THE FERRY TO ITS BERTH AFTER THE VESSEL'S PROPULSION SYSTEM STOPPED WORKING. IT DRIFTED CLOSE TO ROCKS, AND THE CAPTAIN WAS FORCED TO DROP BOTH ANCHORS. KIWIRAIL SAYS AT NO TIME WERE ANY OF THE 61 PASSENGERS ON BOARD IN ANY DANGER. THE ARAHURA'S EXPECTED TO BE BACK IN SERVICE TOMORROW MORNING. THE DAMAGE FROM A HAIL STORM THAT HIT THE TOP OF THE SOUTH ISLAND THIS WEEK IS BEING DESCRIBED AS THE 'WORST IN A LIFETIME'. APPLE, PEAR AND KIWIFRUIT ORCHARDISTS IN THE MOTUEKA AREA TODAY ASSESSED THE DEVASTATION WHICH IS THREATENING THEIR LIVELIHOODS. I THINK THE BIGGEST MENTAL THING IS ALL THE HARD WORK THAT'S GONE IN. TO HAVE IT DESTROYED IN A MATTER OF MINUTES IS PRETTY SOUL-DESTROYING. THE WIDER NELSON REGION PRODUCES ABOUT 30% OF THE COUNTRY'S APPLES AND 80% OF PEARS. IT'S NOT YET KNOWN HOW MUCH OF THAT HAS BEEN AFFECTED, AND ASSESSORS SAY IT COULD TAKE WEEKS TO WORK OUT. THERE ARE CALLS TONIGHT FOR SECURITY SCREENING AT OUR REGIONAL AIRPORTS. THAT'S AFTER THE PRIME MINISTER'S REVELATION THAT UP TO 40 NZERS ARE ON A WATCH LIST BECAUSE OF THEIR EXTREMIST VIEWS. BUT AS POLITICAL EDITOR CORIN DANN EXPLAINS, THE MOVE WOULD COME AT A COST. DESPITE SECURITY SCARES, INCLUDING AN ATTEMPTED HIJACKING IN BLENHEIM SIX YEARS AGO, REGIONAL FLIGHTS WITH FEWER THAN 90 SEATS DON'T REQUIRE PASSENGER SECURITY SCREENING. YOU ONLY NEED TO TRAVEL OVERSEAS TO REALISE HOW LUCKY WE HAVE BEEN HERE. BUT WITH UP TO 40 KIWIS ON THE GOVERNMENT'S TERROR WATCH LIST, PILOTS HERE SAY ALL FLIGHTS ` AND AIRPORT GROUND CREWS ` SHOULD BE SCREENED. THESE PEOPLE APPARENTLY WILL STOP AT NOTHING TO GET THEMSELVES INTO THE MEDIA, AND WE JUST WANT TO CLOSE THE LOOPHOLES THAT CURRENTLY EXIST. THEY SAY THE COST OF INCREASED SCREENING WOULD BE CHEAPER THAN A CUP OF COFFEE PER PASSENGER. BUT THE GOVERNMENT DISAGREES, SAYING THOSE ON ITS TERROR WATCH LIST WON'T BE FLYING IF THEY'RE A THREAT. WITH THE PROPOSED CHANGES TO THE SURVEILLANCE ARRANGEMENTS, IT WILL MEAN WE DP HAVE CLOSE TABS ON ALL OF THESE PEOPLE. OPPOSITION PARTIES SAY THEY'LL LISTEN TO THE CASE FOR INCREASED AIRPORT SCREENING BUT SAY THE GOVERNMENT'S TALK OF A NEW TERROR THREAT IS NOW CAUSING UNNECESSARY CONCERN. WELL, IT SUITS JOHN KEY'S INTERESTS TO MAKE PEOPLE FEARFUL, BECAUSE THEN IT JUSTIFIES HIS TAKING AWAY OUR BASIC RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS THROUGH HIS SURVEILLANCE STATE. AND A TERRORIST EXPERT SAYS GETTING INVOLVED WITH FIGHTING ISIS COULD NOW INCREASE THE RISK. THERE IS ALWAYS A RISK WHEN YOU BECOME MORE INVOLVED THAT YOU CAN ESSENTIALLY FAN THE FLAMES. AND NOT ENOUGH TO CONVINCE THE GOVERNMENT TO CHECK REGIONAL TRAVELLERS, ALTHOUGH PILOTS WILL KEEP PUSHING FOR CHANGE. CORIN DANN, ONE NEWS. EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT WORKERS ARE CALLING FOR MORE SECURITY AT HOSPITALS TO KEEP THEM SAFE FROM DRUNK PATIENTS. AN AUSTRALASIAN SURVEY OF 2000 DOCTORS AND NURSES FOUND 92% OF RESPONDENTS HAD BEEN THREATENED OR EXPERIENCED PHYSICAL VIOLENCE. THE NURSES ORGANISATION SAYS DRUNKEN ABUSE IS AFFECTING STAFF MORALE. THEY'RE UNPREDICTABLE, AND WHEN THEY COME AT YOU, YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO DO NEXT, AND YOU CAN'T REASON WITH THEM. AND THEY'RE USUALLY QUITE BIG PEOPLE, AND IT IS INTIMIDATING. THE HEALTH MINISTRY SAYS SOME DISTRICT HEALTH BOARDS ARE INCREASING THE NUMBER OF ON-CALL SECURITY PERSONNEL. JUST 12 OF A POD OF 60 PILOT WHALES ARE STILL ALIVE AFTER YESTERDAY'S SURVIVORS RESTRANDED NEAR WHAKATANE OVERNIGHT. 14 WHALES WERE FOUND DEAD OR DYING ON BRYAN'S BEACH THIS MORNING, AND WITH WIND AND TIDE AGAINST THEM, RESCUERS MADE THE DECISION TO EUTHANISE THE REMAINING EIGHT. REALLY SAD FOR THE STAFF AND FOR EVERYBODY AND FOR THE PUBLIC AND FOR THE LOCAL COMMUNITY THAT'S REALLY WORKED HARD. THE SURVIVING 12 WHALES ARE BEING MONITORED, AS THEY'RE AT RISK OF RESTRANDING. AND CALLING ALL BOATIES ` DOC ARE KEEN TO HEAR OF ANY SIGHTINGS OF A WHALE THAT'S BEEN CAUGHT IN ROPE OFF TAIAROA HEAD ON THE OTAGO COAST. DOC HAVE A TEAM STANDING BY TO HELP UNTANGLE THE 12M HUMPBACK IF ANYONE SPOTS IT. NEXT ` WHEN WILL TEINA PORA FIND OUT THE PRIVY COUNCIL'S DECISION? WAS IT TERRORISM? DRAMATIC FOOTAGE OF SHOCKING ATTACKS AGAINST PEOPLE IN THE STREETS OF ISRAEL. PLUS ` FORGET ABOUT CHOCOLATE AND WAFFLES ` BELGIUM GOES TO THE BUGS. WITH THE PRIVY COUNCIL HEARING COMPLETED, TEINA PORA'S LEGAL TEAM ARE NOW AWAITING A DECISION ON WHETHER HIS MURDER CONVICTION WILL BE QUASHED. EUROPE CORRESPONDENT JESSICA MUTCH WAS IN COURT. IT'S NOW A WAITING GAME FOR TEINA PORA AND HIS LEGAL TEAM. IT'S A CURIOUS FEELING TO HAVE WORKED FOR FIVE YEARS, YOU GET TWO DAYS IN COURT, AND THEN YOU HAVE TO WAIT. SUPPORTER TIM MCKINNEL'S SPOKEN TO PORA ON THE PHONE. BECAUSE OF STRICT BAIL CONDITIONS, PORA'S AT HOME IN NZ WATCHING THE LIVE STREAM. HE'S NOT ALLOWED TALK PUBLICLY EITHER. PORA'S TRYING TO PROVE HE MADE A FALSE CONFESSION TO THE MURDER AND RAPE OF SUSAN BURDETT IN 1994 BECAUSE HE WANTED A $50,000 POLICE REWARD. HE'S RECENTLY BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH FETAL ALCOHOL SPECTRUM DISORDER, BUT THE CROWN SAYS THE JURY WOULD HAVE TAKEN THOSE SYMPTOMS INTO ACCOUNT. THE INCONSISTENCY, THE YOUTH, THE LACK OF INTELLIGENCE, THE ILLITERACY, ALL THOSE FACTORS WHICH WITH RESPECT WERE OBVIOUS. IT'S ONLY IN THE LAST 12 MONTHS OR SO THAT A DIAGNOSIS THAT THE FETAL ALCOHOL SPECTRUM HAS BEEN MADE. IN 1995, DNA EVIDENCE MEANT SERIAL RAPIST MALCOLM REWA WAS CONVICTED OF RAPING MS BURDETT. BUT THE CROWN MAINTAINS PORA WAS THE ONE WHO KILLED HER, SAYING THE LEVEL OF VIOLENCE WAS MORE THAN ANY OF REWA OTHER VICTIMS. THE FOUR LAW LORDS AND DAME SIAN ELIAS NOW HAVE TO MAKE A DECISION. TWO OF OPTIONS AVAILABLE TO THEM ARE QUASHING THE CONVICTION AND ORDERING A RETRIAL OR SENDING THE DECISION TO THE COURT OF APPEAL IN NZ AND MAKING IT DECIDE. THEY'LL HAVE SEVERAL WEEKS TO PONDER THIS, THOUGH A DECISION ISN'T EXPECTED UNTIL JANUARY. WITH NZ CUTTING IT'S TIES WITH THE PRIVY COUNCIL, PORA'S CASE IS SET TO BE THE LAST. JESSICA MUTCH, ONE NEWS, LONDON. THERE ARE GROWING FEARS OF ESCALATING VIOLENCE BETWEEN ISRAEL AND PALESTINE AFTER SHOCKING ATTACKS LEFT TWO PEOPLE DEAD AND SEVERAL OTHERS INJURED. CHANNEL NINE'S PETER STEFANOVIC HAS THE STORY. AND A WARNING ` SOME VIEWERS MIGHT FIND THE IMAGES DISTURBING. CAPTURED ON SECURITY VISION, A VAN THAT WAS DRIVEN INTO A CROWD OF PEDESTRIANS AT A LIGHT-RAIL STATION ON THE BORDER BETWEEN WEST AND ANNEXED EAST JERUSALEM. THE DRIVER THEN GOT OUT OF THE VEHICLE AND, AT A BUSY INTERSECTION, ATTACKED PEOPLE WITH A METAL BAR. YELLING AMBULANCE AND RESCUE TEAMS SWARMED AROUND THE CRASH SITE TO TREAT AND SAVE MORE THAN A DOZEN VICTIMS WHO WERE WOUNDED. ONE PEDESTRIAN WAS KILLED. THE ATTACKER IS BELIEVED TO BE PALESTINIAN IBRAHIM AL-AKARI (38), A MEMBER OF HAMAS, WHO WAS SHOT DEAD BY ISRAELI POLICE. HOURS LATER, ANOTHER ATTACK CAPTURED ON SECURITY FOOTAGE. THIS TIME, SOUTH OF BETHLEHEM. THREE ISRAELI SOLDIERS WERE STANDING ON A ROAD OUTSIDE A REFUGEE CAMP WHEN A VAN PLOUGHED INTO THEM AND INJURED ALL THREE, ONE OF THEM CRITICALLY. VIOLENT CLASHES HAD ALREADY ERUPTED IN THE CITY'S EAST,... BOOM! BOOM! ...WHERE DOZENS OF PALESTINIAN PROTESTERS THREW STONES AT ISRAELI FORCES. POLICE REPLIED WITH STUN GRENADES. BOOM! UNREST HAS GROWN RAPIDLY HERE IN RECENT WEEKS. PALESTINIANS ARE ANGERED AT ISRAELI SETTLEMENT EXPANSION ON OCCUPIED LAND AND RESTRICTED ACCESS TO THE AL-AQSA MOSQUE COMPOUND, KNOWN TO JEWS AS THE TEMPLE MOUNT. EXPLOSIONS FRESH OUTBREAKS OF VIOLENCE HAVE NOW INCREASED FEARS OF ANOTHER PALESTINIAN UPRISING OR A NEW INTIFADA. THE COFOUNDER OF THE POPULAR FILE SHARING WEBSITE THE PIRATE BAY SAYS HIS CAPTURE WAS 'EXPECTED'. FREDRIK NEIJ WAS ARRESTED EARLIER THIS WEEK IN THAILAND. THE SWEDE (36) HAS BEEN ON THE RUN SINCE 2009 WHEN HE WAS CONVICTED OF AIDING COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT. IN THE NEXT MONTH, THAI POLICE SAY HE'LL BE DEPORTED BACK TO SWEDEN TO FACE A JAIL TERM. LENA DUNHAM, THE CREATOR OF HIT TV SERIES 'GIRLS' HAS APOLOGISED AFTER COMING UNDER FIRE IN THE US FOR PASSAGES IN HER NEWLY RELEASED MEMOIR. CRITICS HAVE ATTACKED THE ACTRESS FOR ALLEGEDLY MOLESTING HER YOUNGER SISTER, QUOTING PARTS OF HER BOOK IN WHICH DUNHAM RECALLS KISSING AND TOUCHING HER. AT FIRST DUNHAM REACTED WITH ANGER, BUT SHE'S NOW TONED DOWN HER RESPONSE, SAYING SHE'S DISMAYED BY THE INTERPRETATION. THE 28-YEAR-OLD SAYS SHE DOESN'T CONDONE ANY KIND OF ABUSE UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. IF YOU'RE A FUSSY EATER, BEST YOU BRACE YOURSELF FOR OUR NEXT STORY, BECAUSE IT'S ALL ABOUT INSECTS AND A NEW TREND THAT'S GOT PEOPLE PAYING TO DINE OUT ON THEM. KRISTIN HALL EXPLAINS. YOU CAN FIND THEM IN THE GROUND, BUZZING ANNOYINGLY OVERHEAD,... THAT'S THE MOST PERSISTENT FLY I'VE EVER SEEN. (SMACKS HAND) ...OR INFESTING ONE-STAR MOTELS, BUT WOULD YOU WANT A PILE OF BUGS ON YOUR PLATE? AND IT'S OK. IT'S REALLY GOOD, IN FACT. APPARENTLY, PEOPLE IN BELGIUM DO. YES, IN THE LAND OF WAFFLES AND CHOCOLATE, THE LOCALS STILL WANT CHOCOLATE; THEY JUST WANT CRICKETS WITH IT. UN, DEUX, TROIS. (LAUGHS) JUST LIKE AN EARWIG, INSECT-BASED FOOD PRODUCTS HAVE BEEN SLOWLY CREEPING INTO THE BELGIAN MARKET SINCE THE COUNTRY RELEASED NATIONAL GUIDELINES FOR THEIR SALE LAST YEAR, AND BUSINESSES HAVE BEEN QUICK TO CAPITALISE. DAMIAN HUYSMANS IS THE FIRST IN EUROPE TO OFFER MEALWORM PRODUCTS IN STORES, AND WHILE SOME SHOPPERS AREN'T SO KEEN,... JE REGARDE... TRANSLATOR: I LOOK AT THEM, BUT I'M AFRAID OF THE TEXTURE OF THE PRODUCT. IT'S NOT THE FLAVOUR. I'M NOT AFRAID OF THE TASTE OF THE PRODUCT, BUT I'M AFRAID OF THE TEXTURE OF THE PRODUCT. ...OTHERS ARE BUZZING. ONE UNIVERSITY IN BRUSSELS HAS EVEN ADDED BUFFALO-WORM BURGERS AND NUGGETS TO THE CAFETERIA MENU, PROVING, PERHAPS, ONCE AND FOR ALL THAT STUDENTS REALLY WILL EAT ANYTHING. TRANSLATOR: PEOPLE MIGHT FIND THAT GROSS, BUT IT'S AS GROSS TO EAT ANIMALS' LIVERS. SOME PEOPLE EAT ALL THE PARTS OF PIGS AND COWS. WHY WOULD THIS THEN BE GROSS? THE ACCEPTANCE OF ALL THINGS WINGED AND WRIGGLY IS BEING TOUTED AS 'THE FUTURE OF FOOD'. AND WHILE THAT MIGHT BE A STRETCH, IT CERTAINLY LOOKS LIKE WE'RE IN FOR THE NEXT EVOLUTION OF FOOD CRAZES.
