TONIGHT ` HE DYED HIS HAIR AND MADE IT HALFWAY AROUND THE WORLD. NOW PHILIP SMITH SPEAKS OUT THROUGH HIS LAWYER. IS IT JUSTICE? THE SENTENCE HANDED TO A SOUTH KOREAN FERRY CAPTAIN WHOSE VESSEL SANK KILLING MORE THAN 300. AND CAN A BAND-AID FIX EBOLA? THE MAN ONCE DUBBED ST BOB TRIES TO DO IT AGAIN. DUE TO THE LIVE NATURE OF TONIGHT, WE APOLOGISE FOR THE LACK OF CAPTIONS FOR SOME ITEMS. AS FUGITIVE PHILLIP SMITH TRIES TO REASSURE HIS VICTIMS' FAMILY THEY HAVE NOTHING TO FEAR, THE DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS IS MAKING SURE ITS SYSTEMS ARE SECURE. IT SAYS IT'S SUSPENDING ALL TEMPORARY RELEASES OF PRISON INMATES FOR AT LEAST TWO WEEKS WHILE IT CARRIES OUT A REVIEW. THAT'S AS AN INTERNATIONAL MANHUNT FOR SMITH, A CONVICTED MURDERER AND CHILD ABUSER, SHIFTS ITS FOCUS TO BRAZIL. WITH THE LATEST, HERE'S HELEN CASTLES. PHILLIP SMITH, HAIR FRESHLY DYED, LEAVING AUCKLAND FOR CHILE, BRAZIL AND FREEDOM. BUT HIS EXACT WHEREABOUTS ARE ONLY KNOWN BY HIS NZ LAWYER. HE'S BEEN IN CONTACT WITH ME AND GIVEN ME SOME VERY LIMITED INSTRUCTIONS AND HE TELLS ME HE HOPES TO ISSUE A MEDIA RELEASE PROBABLY ON THURSDAY. TONY ELLIS RECEIVED SIX ENCODED EMAILS FROM SMITH, WHO HAD A MESSAGE FOR HIS VICTIM'S FAMILY. HE'S GOT NOTHING AGAINST THEM, AND HE WISHES THEM WELL, AND THEY SHOULD GET ON WITH THE REST OF THEIR LIVES. MR ELLIS DOESN'T BELIEVE SMITH'S DANGEROUS. HE WANTS TO DISCUSS HIS TREATMENT IN PRISON. THE FUGITIVE'S STEPFATHER, BASIL SMITH, TOLD ONE NEWS HE'D FLED BECAUSE HE WAS FRUSTRATED WITH THE PAROLE BOARD, WHOM HE FELT WAS MUCKING HIM AROUND. THE PRESSURE GOT TOO MUCH FOR HIM. WHEN HE LAST SPOKE TO HIM THE WEEK BEFORE LAST,... SMITH'S PASSPORT'S ISSUED IN HIS BIRTH NAME, TRAYNOR. IT'S NOW BEEN RECALLED. TRAYNOR IS HIS LEGAL NAME, BUT HE USES HIS STEPFATHER'S NAME, AND HIS CONVICTIONS ARE RECORDED UNDER SMITH. BUT A PAROLE BOARD DECISION IN 2011 RAISES CONCERNS ABOUT HIS USE OF ALIASES. THAT, I THINK, GOES TO THE CORE OF THE INFORMATION SHARING ISSUE ` THAT INFORMATION WAS NOT AVAILABLE TO INTERNAL AFFAIRS AT THE TIME IT DEALT WITH THE PASSPORT RENEWAL APPLICATION LAST YEAR. SMITH HAD AMASSED 50 CONVICTIONS BY THE TIME HE WAS 21, FROM MURDER, SEXUAL ABUSE, EXTORTION AND ATTEMPTED ARSON. WHILE BEHIND BARS HE RAN HIS OWN BUSINESS HE'D ALSO ESCAPED CUSTODY ONCE BEFORE. CUSTOMS HAS CONFIRMED SMITH HAD OVER $10,000 ON HIM WHEN HE LEFT THE COUNTRY. AND WHILE HIS MUGSHOT'S AT BORDERS AROUND THE WORLD, POLICE SAY SMITH'S A MASTER OF DISGUISE. A POLICE LIASON OFFICER IS TALKING TO THE POLICE IN BRAZIL THEY HAVEN'T GOT ANYTHING TO ADVANCE INVESTIGATION. HE MAY STILL MAKE IT TO ANOTHER SOUTH AMERICAN COUNTRY. HELEN CASTLES, ONE NEWS. NOW, WE'VE BEEN PIECING TOGETHER HOW EVENTS UNFOLDED. HERE'S WHAT WE KNOW ` CORRECTIONS SAY SMITH WAS PICKED UP FROM SPRINGHILL PRISON BY HIS SPONSOR, A FEMALE RELATIVE, AT 7.30AM ON THURSDAY. SHE SAYS SHE LAST SAW HIM AT LUNCHTIME THAT DAY. SMITH WAS SUPPOSED TO STAY WITH A SECOND SPONSOR IN WATERVIEW, AUCKLAND, ON THURSDAY NIGHT. INSTEAD, HE BOARDED FLIGHT LA800 AT 4.15PM DIRECT TO CHILE. TWO DAYS LATER, ON SATURDAY EVENING AT 5.30, CORRECTIONS CALLED THE PERSON SMITH WAS MEANT TO BE STAYING WITH, BECAUSE THEY HADN'T HEARD FROM THEM AT ALL, AND WERE TOLD HE'D NEVER TURNED UP. IT WAS NEARLY 24 HOURS, 4PM ON SUNDAY, BEFORE THE FAMILY OF SMITH'S VICTIM WERE INFORMED HE WAS MISSING. ON MONDAY MORNING POLICE REALISED SMITH HAD SKIPPED THE COUNTRY AND TODAY ANNOUNCED HE'D TRAVELLED ON FROM SANTIAGO TO RIO DE JANEIRO IN BRAZIL. MEANWHILE, JOHN KEY'S COME UNDER FIRE FOR COMMENTS HE MADE AT THE APEC SUMMIT WHEN ASKED WHAT HE PLANNED TO SAY TO THE CHILEAN PRESIDENT ABOUT PHILLIP SMITH FLEEING TO HER COUNTRY. YEAH, I'LL JUST LET HER KNOW THAT, YOU KNOW, THERE'S SOMEONE THAT COULD BE OUT THERE FROM NZ THAT SHE MAY NOT WANT TO INVITE ROUND FOR LUNCH. IT NOW SEEMS MR KEY WON'T GET A CHANCE TO HAVE THAT CHAT BECAUSE AS KATIE BRADFORD REPORTS, THE MEETING WITH THE CHILEAN PRESIDENT HAS THIS EVENING BEEN CANCELLED. OFFICIAL APEC TALKS HAVE WRAPPED UP HERE AND JOHN KEY WAS DUE TO HEAD STRAIGHT INTO A MEETING WITH CHILEAN PRESIDENT MICHELLE BACHELET BUT AT THE LAST MINUTE THAT MEETING WAS CANCELLED. WE'VE BEEN TOLD THAT WAS CANCELLED BECAUSE THE PAIR HAD A QUICK CHAT OVER A FORMAL LUNCH EARLIER IN THE DAY. BUT OF COURSE THAT HAD BEEN CONTROVERSY AROUND THAT, BECAUSE HE'D MADE THOSE COMMENTS ABOUT CONVICTED MURDERER PHILIP SMITH, AND THE FACT HE WAS GOING TO BRING UP THAT ISSUE WITH THE PRESIDENT, I GUESS THAT PUTS A LAST-MINUTE CHANGE IN JOHN KEY'S SCHEDULE IN WHAT WAS OTHERWISE QUITE A SUCCESSFUL TRIP. A BOOMING DISPLAY OF POWER FROM THE CHINESE. THEY'VE SPENT $6B HOSTING APEC FOR 21 OF THE WORLD'S MOST POWERFUL LEADERS. ETHNIC MUSIC PLAYS JOHN KEY SAT NEXT TO BARACK OBAMA AS THEY TOASTED FRIENDSHIP AND CLOSER RELATIONS. AND THEN THERE'S THE TRADITIONAL APEC LEADERS' OUTFITS, THIS YEAR DISPLAYING A STAR TREK-LIKE QUALITY. EARLIER IN THE DAY KEY AND OBAMA VOWED TO WORK AS HARD AS THEY COULD TO ADVANCE THE TRANS-PACIFIC PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT. I THOUGHT IT WAS A VERY SOLID MEETING. WE ACHIEVED ALL OF THE OBJECTIVES WE HAD GOING INTO THAT MEETING. THERE'S CLEARLY MOMENTUM, AND THERE'S CLEARLY A DESIRE FROM LEADERS TO COMPLETE TPP. WE CAN DO MORE TO REDUCE BARRIERS TO TRADE AND ECONOMIC GROWTH. SINCE 2006 WE'VE WORKED TOGETHER TOWARDS THE ULTIMATE GOAL OF A FREE-TRADE AREA OF THE ASIA-PACIFIC. AND APEC HAS SHOWN A NUMBER OF PATHWAYS THAT COULD MAKE IT A REALITY. AND ONE OF THOSE PATHWAYS IS THE TRANS-PACIFIC PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN THE UNITED STATES AND 11 OTHER NATIONS. HOPE STILL HIGH A DEAL CAN BE DONE IN THE NEXT SIX MONTHS. AND SO THE HAND-SHAKING'S NEARLY OVER IN BEIJING; MANY OF THESE LEADERS NOW HEADING TO MYANMAR FOR THE EAST ASIA SUMMIT. KATIE BRADFORD, ONE NEWS. OUR NATIONAL AIRLINE HAS ANNOUNCED ITS BECOMING A LITTLE LESS NATIONAL. FROM APRIL NEXT YEAR, AIR NZ WILL NO LONGER FLY TO KAITAIA, WHAKATANE OR WESTPORT. BAD NEWS TOO FOR EAGLE AIR, THE SUBSIDIARY THAT FLIES THOSE SMALL PLANES ` ITS FUTURE AND THAT OF MORE THAN 230 STAFF IS NOW ON THE LINE. AIR NZ SAYS REGIONAL ROUTES ARE JUST TOO EXPENSIVE. INSTEAD, IT'S GOING TO INVEST $300M IN NEW, LARGER PLANES. $52 PER RETURN JOURNEY THAT WE LOSE WITH EACH AND EVERY CUSTOMER THAT WE HAVE ON BOARD THE AIRCRAFT. I THINK REGIONAL NZ, IT'S VERY HARD TO OPERATE INTO. IT'S VERY EXPENSIVE AND THE UPSCALING HOW TO THE LARGER AIRCRAFT WILL BENEFIT AS LONG AS THAT DOESN'T AFFECT FREQUENCY. AND THERE ISN'T GREAT NEWS FOR THE SMALL TOWNS THAT STILL HAVE SERVICE EITHER, THE AIRLINE TODAY ADMITTING BIGGER PLANES COULD MEAN FEWER FLIGHTS. AN AMBULANCE OFFICER FACING MULTIPLE SEX CHARGES SAYS HE'S STUNNED AND BEWILDERED BY THE ALLEGATIONS. CHRISTOPHER ROGER KING DENIES EIGHT CHARGES INCLUDING SEXUAL VIOLATION AND STUPEFACTION. THE ASSAULTS ALLEGEDLY TOOK PLACE IN THE BACK OF AN AMBULANCE AND INVOLVED FOUR WOMEN, INCLUDING A TEENAGER WHO SAYS HE FILMED HER INAPPROPRIATELY. I ACTED WITH FULL PROFESSIONALISM AND ENDEAVOURED TO GIVE HER THE BEST POSSIBLE TREATMENT I COULD. KING SAYS HE'D STOPPED THE AMBULANCE WHILE THE YOUNG COMPLAINANT WAS INSIDE, BECAUSE SHE WAS IN PAIN. THEY'VE TRAVELLED THOUSANDS OF KILOMETRES, ADDRESSED 3000 PARTY FAITHFUL AND ANSWERED 170 QUESTIONS EACH. AND NOW THE LABOUR LEADERSHIP ROADSHOW HAS COME TO AN END. THE FOUR CONTENDERS SPOKE TO MORE THAN 100 PEOPLE IN SOUTH AUCKLAND TONIGHT, THE LAST MEETING BEFORE VOTES ARE CAST NEXT TUESDAY. WHILE GRANT ROBERTSON, ANDREW LITTLE, DAVID PARKER AND NANAIA MAHUTA'S OPINIONS ON POLICY DIFFER, THEY ALL AGREE THE STRUGGLING PARTY NEEDS REVIVING. WE'VE LOST OUR CONNECTION, AND I THINK MOST OF US ARE READY TO ADMIT THAT. FOR THE THIRD ELECTION IN A ROW, OUR VOTE HAS CONTINUED TO DECLINE. 500,000 VOTERS HAVE LEFT US IN THE LAST THREE ELECTIONS. IT'S MY SIMPLE BELIEF THAT WE NEED TO DO THINGS DIFFERENTLY. THE OLD WAY HASN'T WORKED. THE FINAL DECISION WILL BE MADE BY CAUCUS, PARTY MEMBERS AND AFFILIATED UNIONS, AND IS EXPECTED TO BE ANNOUNCED NEXT WEEK. HUNDREDS OF AUCKLAND BUSINESSES ARE URGING THE COUNCIL RETHINK PLANS TO CHANGE HOW THEY DISPLAY ADVERTISING ON THE FOOTPATH. THE COUNCIL'S OVERHAULING RULES ABOUT STREET SIGNS, BANNERS AND FLAGS. IT'S PROPOSED AT LEAST 1.8M HAS TO BE CLEAR FOR PEDESTRIANS, CREATING CONCERN MANY AUCKLAND STREETS WILL BE TOO NARROW FOR ANY SIGNAGE AT ALL. ANY RESTRICTIONS TO THE ABILITY OF BUSINESSES TO ADVERTISE THEIR WARES AND TRADE WILL HAVE GROSS IMPLICATIONS ON THEIR ABILITY TO BE FINANCIALLY VIABLE. THE COUNCIL INSISTS SAFETY IS ITS MAIN MOTIVATION FOR THE RULE CHANGES THE NEW BYLAW WILL COME INTO FORCE NEXT JULY. A TEMPORARY NEW WINZ OFFICE IS BEING SET UP IN ASHBURTON FOLLOWING SEPTEMBER'S FATAL SHOOTING. SEVEN PORTABLE UNITS WERE TODAY DELIVERED TO THE LOCAL POLICE STATION CAR PARK. THEY COULD BE ON SITE FOR UP TO A YEAR WHILE A PERMANENT LOCATION IS FOUND. THE OLD WINZ BUILDING HAS BEEN CLOSED SINCE THE SEPTEMBER SHOOTING, WHICH CLAIMED THE LIVES OF TWO EMPLOYEES. TENS OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE TURNED OUT FOR ONE OF CHRISTCHURCH'S BIGGEST EVENTS, THE NZ TROTTING CUP. AND WHILE IT MAY NOT HAVE BEEN A HISTORY MAKING DAY FOR THE FAVOURITE 'TERROR TO LOVE', THE CUP'S NEWEST CHAMPION DID MAKE SOME RECORDS OF ITS OWN, SMASHING THE FASTEST TIME FOR THE RACE. JOY REID REPORTS. BETS, BUBBLY, BEER AND BEAUTY ` IT'S ALL PART OF CUP DAY. AND TODAY THE FAVOURITE REALLY WAS FAVOURITE. TERROR. LET'S GO, TERROR. NUMBER FOUR. SO I THINK IT'S PART OF HISTORY, AND GREAT TO BE HERE. GREAT TO BE PART OF THE DAY. BUT NOT EVERYONE WAS HERE FOR THE FILLIES. DO YOU KNOW MUCH ABOUT THE HORSES? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. INSTEAD THEY FLOCKED HERE FOR FASHION,... MY MUM MADE MY DRESS FOR ME. I GOT THE FABRIC FROM THE US, AND I'VE MADE AND DESIGNED MY OWN HAT AS WELL. ...FANFARE.... BAND PLAYS AND FASCINATORS. THIS ONE MADE BY HER BOYFRIEND. HE'S ACTUALLY A FARMER, SO IT'S MADE WITH NUMBER 8 FENCING WIRE, HELD TOGETHER WITH A CABLE TIE. ALSO THE FOOD WAS A HIT FOR THOSE WHO'D HAD A FEW. YEAH! ALTHOUGH, OVERALL, POLICE WERE GENERALLY WITH THE CROWD'S BEHAVIOUR, GO, PEGASUS, GO! THERE WERE WINNERS ON... AND OFF THE FIELD. I AM COMING TO COLLECT MY WINNINGS, YEAH. YEAH, HOW MUCH DID YOU WIN? I DON'T KNOW YET. TODAY'S ONE OF THE BIGGEST DAYS OF THE YEAR FOR THE TAB. THEY'RE EXPECTING MORE THAN $1M TO BE SPENT, WITH THE MARES AND MONEY TODAY ALSO CAME A FEW SORE FEET AND BIT OF MAYHEM,... ANNOUNCER: 57. ...AND IN THE END, PERHAPS NOT THE WIN EVERYONE WANTED. JOY REID, ONE NEWS. NZERS ACROSS THE COUNTRY HAVE MARKED THE 96TH ANNIVERSARY OF ARMISTICE DAY. IT COMMEMORATES THE END OF WWI, IN WHICH NEARLY 20,000 KIWI SOLDIERS DIED. THE IDEA OF THIS DAY IS TO GIVE BACK TO THE DEFENCE FORCE, TO GIVE BACK TO ANYONE WHO SERVED. IN AUCKLAND FLAGS WERE LOWERED TO HALF MAST ON AUCKLAND'S HARBOUR BRIDGE, WHILE IN THE CAPITAL THE GOVERNOR GENERAL LEAD A PROCESSION THROUGH PARLIAMENT AND TWO MINUTES SILENCE TO REMEMBER THE FALLEN. IT'S NO SECRET THAT AS A NATION, WE'RE GETTING A BIT FAT. NEARLY ONE IN THREE KIWI ADULTS IS OBESE AND THE PROBLEM IS SPREADING TO OUR ANIMALS. SO WHAT DO YOU DO IF YOUR PUP'S GETTING A LITTLE PORKY? KRISTIN HALL FOUND OUT. IF YOU'VE EVER DONE BOOT CAMP, YOU'LL KNOW IT'S NO WALK IN THE PARK. THAT'S IT ELBOW TO KNEES, NICE. GOOD ROTATION ON THE BODY. NOW ADD A DOG ` OR FIVE. WE HUMANS, QUITE FRANKLY, ARE GETTING FATTER, AND ACCORDING TO WELLINGTON DOG LOVER RACHEL MARKS, SO ARE OUR BEST FRIENDS ` DOG FRIENDS THAT IS. 50% OF DOGS ARE OVERWEIGHT, AND YOU SEE IT DAILY, SO THIS IS DEFINITELY AN INITIATIVE TO GET PEOPLE HEALTHY AND THEIR DOGS. SHE'S CREATED A BOOT CAMP FOR BOTH SPECIES. THE PROGRAMS BEEN RUNNING FOR JUST FOUR WEEKS AND ALREADY IT'S CATCHING ON. IT CERTAINLY ADDS A CHALLENGE TO IT, AND IT KEEPS IT ALIVE AND DIFFERENT RATHER THAN JUST TREADING ON A TREADMILL FOR HOURS. SO WHAT WE'VE LEARNED IS THAT IT'S HARDER THAN IT LOOKS TO DO PUSH UPS WITH THE ASSISTANCE OF A DOG, AND ALSO THAT I WOULD BE A TERRIBLE DOG OWNER. RACHEL SAYS OUR BUSY LIFESTYLES ARE TO BLAME FOR THE PLUMP POOCH PANDEMIC. THEY'VE HAD A REALLY LONG DAY AT WORK AND THEN THEY COME HOME AND THEY'RE TOO TIRED TO WALK THE DOG, OR THEY TAKE THE DOG FOR A SHORT HALF-HOUR WALK AND IT'S NOT REALLY SUFFICIENT EXERCISE FOR THE DOG OR THE OWNER. BUT IT'S STILL THE ONLY FITNESS CLASS WITH A SNACK BREAK. GOOD GIRL, GOOD BOY, JOEY. AND THAT'S ALWAYS GOING TO GET THE WAG, OR BARK OF APPROVAL. KRISTIN HALL, ONE NEWS. JUST AHEAD ` THE CLEVER TRICKS PROTESTERS ALMOST GOT AWAY WITH AHEAD OF THE G20 SUMMIT. PLUS ` WHAT MAGGIE SAID TO RONNIE ` THE SECRET RECORDINGS OF THE EX-PRESIDENT OF THE US AND THE IRON LADY. I THINK KATNISS WOULD BE A HUGE LORDE FAN. AND ANOTHER STAR SINGS THE PRAISES OF LORDE AT THE LAUNCH OF THE LATEST HUNGER GAMES MOVIE THE CAPTAIN OF THE SOUTH KOREAN FERRY WHICH SANK IN APRIL KILLING MORE THAN 300 PEOPLE HAS BEEN FOUND GUILTY OF GROSS NEGLIGENCE AND BEEN SENTENCED TO 36 YEARS IN PRISON. LEE JOON-SEOK WAS FOUND NOT GUILTY OF HOMICIDE. LEE'S IN HIS LATE 60S AND WILL LIKELY SPEND THE REST OF HIS LIFE BEHIND BARS. FAMILY MEMBERS OF THE VICTIMS HAVE CRITICISED THE VERDICT FOR BEING TOO LENIENT. 15 CREW MEMBERS WENT ON TRIAL OVER THE TRAGEDY, AND WERE ALL FOUND GUILTY OF VARIOUS CHARGES. A SUICIDE BOMBER DISGUISED AS A STUDENT HAS KILLED DOZENS OF TEENAGERS AT A HIGH SCHOOL IN NIGERIA. HE SNEAKED INTO MORNING ASSEMBLY AND SET OFF THE BOMB HIDDEN IN HIS BACKPACK, KILLING 48 AND WOUNDING 79 OTHERS. NIGERIAN POLICE BELIEVE BOKO HARAM WAS BEHIND THE ATTACK. THE MILITANT GROUP HAS CARRIED OUT SIMILAR STRIKES IN THE PAST YEAR. THE LATEST VIOLENCE COMES JUST WEEKS AFTER NIGERIA'S GOVERNMENT CLAIMED IT HAD BROKERED A CEASEFIRE. AN ELABORATE SECURITY BREACH HAS BEEN DETECTED JUST DAYS OUT FROM THE G20 MEETING IN BRISBANE. CHANNEL NINE'S JAYNE AZZOPARDI EXPLAINS. EVERYWHERE YOU LOOK, EVERYWHERE YOU WALK, THE SUNSHINE STATE HAS BEEN TRANSFORMED INTO THE SECURITY STATE. JUST DAYS BEFORE WORLD LEADERS ARRIVE, A PLOT HAS BEEN UNMASKED ` DUMMY CCTV CAMERAS DISCOVERED INSIDE THE RESTRICTED AREA, DESIGNED TO PROJECT ANTI-G20 SLOGANS ON TO SURFACES IN WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN A GLOBAL EMBARRASSMENT. THERE WAS NO RISK TO SAFETY, BUT IT'S A SIGN OF JUST WHAT POLICE ARE UP AGAINST AS THEY TRY TO PREPARE FOR EVERY EVENTUALITY. I AM APPREHENSIVE. THAT'S THE HONEST ANSWER. WE ARE PAID TO WORRY. WE'RE PAID TO THINK ABOUT WHAT COULD GO WRONG. THE 6000 POLICE SWARMING THE CITY HAVE BEEN BRIEFED AND SAY THEY'RE PREPARED TO USE THE NEW G20 POWERS. SHORT, INTENSE AND SOMETIMES UNPREDICTABLE. AT THE AIRPORT, THE RUSSIANS HAVE TOUCHED DOWN; CARGO PLANES CARRYING ESSENTIALS LIKE PRESIDENT PUTIN'S LIMO READY FOR HIS ARRIVAL. OVERNIGHT, THE HOTELS WHERE EACH LEADER WILL BE STAYING WERE REINFORCED. THE MARRIOTT, WHICH WILL BE HOME TO US PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA FOR JUST ONE NIGHT WAS GIVEN THE BROADEST BUFFER OF ALL. BARACK OBAMA DOESN'T ARRIVE HERE UNTIL SATURDAY MORNING, BUT HIS HOTEL IS GOING INTO LOCKDOWN RIGHT NOW. THE MARRIOTT WILL BE TAKEN OVER BY HUNDREDS OF US GOVERNMENT STAFF. AND AN ENTIRE FLOOR HAS EVEN BEEN STRIPPED OF ITS FURNISHINGS TO ENSURE THE PRESIDENT'S SAFETY AND SECURITY. NOW IT'S A NO-GO ZONE. BUT IF BRISBANE GETS ITS WAY, THEY MIGHT HIT THE TOWN, PERHAPS TASTE AN ALL-AMERICAN BARACK BURGER, OR SIP COCKTAILS AT AN OBAMA-RAMA TIKI PARTY. THE WHOLE CITY MIGHT NEED IT AFTER THIS. THAT LAVA FLOW FROM AN ERUPTING VOLCANO ON HAWAII'S BIG ISLAND HAS NOW DESTROYED AN ABANDONED HOME. THE RED-HOT MOLTEN ROCK TOOK JUST MINUTES TO RIP THROUGH THE WOODEN HOUSE ON THE OUTSKIRTS OF THE SMALL TOWN OF PAHOA. A RIVER OF LAVA HAS BEEN SLOWLY OOZING TOWARDS THE TOWN SINCE LATE JUNE. FOR THE FIRST TIME, SECRET RECORDINGS OF CONVERSATIONS BETWEEN FORMER BRITISH LEADER MARGARET THATCHER AND FORMER US PRESIDENT RONALD REAGAN HAVE BEEN MADE PUBLIC. IN ONE, PRESIDENT REAGAN CALLS BARONESS THATCHER TO APOLOGISE FOR NOT TELLING HER ABOUT A US INVASION OF THE CARIBBEAN ISLAND OF GRENADA IN 1983. LISTEN, WE REGRET VERY MUCH THE EMBARRASSMENT THAT'S BEEN CAUSED TO YOU AND I'D JUST LIKE TO TELL YOU WHAT THE STORY IS FROM OUR END OUT HERE, BUT I WANT YOU TO KNOW IT WAS NO FEELING ON OUR PART ABOUT A LACK OF CONFIDENCE AT YOUR END. IT'S AT OUR END. AFTER DISCUSSING THE SITUATION IN GRENADA FOR A LITTLE LONGER, BARONESS THATCHER ENDS THE CALL SAYING SHE HAD TO RETURN TO A "TRICKY" DEBATE IN THE HOUSE OF COMMONS. THE TAPE WAS RELEASED BY THE REAGAN PRESIDENTIAL LIBRARY, REVEALING THE FORMER PRESIDENT SECRETLY RECORDED HIS DISCUSSIONS IN THE WHITE HOUSE SITUATION ROOM. FRESH FROM HER NATIONWIDE TOUR, SINGER LORDE HAS BEEN CENTRE STAGE IN LONDON AT THE PREMIERE OF THE LATEST HUNGER GAMES FILM. THE TEENAGE POPSTAR CURATED THE SOUNDTRACK FOR THE NEW INSTALLMENT, 'MOCKINGJAY ` PART 1'. I JUST TRIED TO GET INTO THE ZONE OF THE STORY AS POSSIBLE. JUST THINKING ABOUT HOW IT FEELS TO BE KATNISS AT THAT POINT IN THE STORY. AND EVEN THE MOVIE'S STAR JENNIFER LAWRENCE IS KEEN TO PROMOTE LORDE, SAYING HER HUNGER GAMES CHARACTER WOULD PROBABLY BE A MASSIVE FAN. SHE CAPTURED THAT CHARACTER SO MAGICALLY THAT IT WAS A REALLY AMAZING THING TO LISTEN TO. SO I THINK KATNISS WOULD BE A HUGE LORDE FAN. 'MOCKINGJAY - PART 1' IS IN CINEMAS HERE FROM NOVEMBER 20. JUST AHEAD WEATHER WISE, SOME PARTS WILL TURN PEAR-SHAPED TOMORROW WE'LL TELL YOU WHERE. PINK FLOYD GIVE THEIR FINAL GOODBYE AND PAY TRIBUTE. # FEED THE WORLD. # AND CAN SAINT BOB DO IT AGAIN? THIS TIME NOT FOR FAMINE, BUT EBOLA. PIETRO MASCAGNI'S 'REGINA COELI LAETARE' (EASTER HYMN) FROM CAVALLERIA RUSTICANA CLASSICAL MUSIC CRESCENDOES Make it yours. When you find the home you want, talk to an ANZ expert about Buy Ready. DYNAMIC MUSIC YOU'D THINK BY NOW PRETTY MUCH EVERYONE KNOWS IT'S CHRISTMAS, EVEN IF THEIR RELIGION DOESN'T CELEBRATE THE OCCASION. NEVERTHELESS, SIR BOB GELDOF THINKS IT'S TIME FOR A REMINDER. 30 YEARS AFTER HIS HIT CHARITY SINGLE RAISED MILLIONS FOR ETHIOPIA'S FAMINE VICTIMS, HE WANTS TO DO IT ALL AGAIN; THIS TIME TO TACKLE EBOLA.

THIS TIME INSPIRED BY THE FIGHT AGAINST EBOLA. MOTHERS CAN'T TOUCH THEIR CHILDREN WHEN THEY'RE DYING. WIVES CAN'T HOLD THEIR HUSBANDS' HANDS. SO WITH THIS RECORD WE'LL REACH OUT AND TOUCH THEM. GELDOF HAS RECRUITED A NEW GENERATION OF FAMOUS FACES. ONE DIRECTION, COLDPLAY, ED SHEERAN, RITA ORA AND BONO ARE AMONG THOSE INVOLVED IN THE REMAKE OF 'DO THEY KNOW IT'S CHRISTMAS?' ` THE FOURTH REINCARNATION OF THE BEST-SELLING SINGLE. ONE DIRECTION, GOD BLESS THEM. THEY HAVE ONE DAY OFF. THEY HAVE ONE DAY OFF, AND THEY'RE COMING IN TO DO THIS. THAT'S COOL. THE NEW VERSION OF THE SONG WILL BE RECORDED THIS WEEKEND AND WILL BE AVAILABLE NEXT MONDAY. BUT SIR BOB HAD A STRONG MESSAGE FOR THOSE USED TO THE IDEA OF FREE MUSIC. LIKE I SAID 30 YEARS AGO, IT REALLY DOESN'T MATTER IF YOU DON'T LIKE THIS SONG. IT REALLY DOESN'T MATTER IF YOU HATE THE ARTISTS. WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO IS BUY THIS THING. THERE'S NOTHING REMADE ABOUT PINK FLOYD'S NEW ALBUM, THOUGH, EVEN IF MUCH OF THE MATERIAL IS MORE THAN 20 YEARS OLD. # WE BITCH AND WE FIGHT, # KISS EACH OTHER ON SIGHT. # DRAWN FROM RECORDING SESSIONS FOR PINK FLOYD'S 'DIVISION BELL' BACK IN 1993, 'THE ENDLESS RIVER' IS IN PART A TRIBUTE TO KEYBOARD PLAYER RICK WRIGHT WHO DIED SIX YEARS AGO. HE IS ON IT ALL THE WAY THROUGH IT, SO EVERY TIME WE LISTENED TO THE MUSIC THAT'S THERE AS WE WERE WORKING ON IT, YOU COULDN'T HELP BUT BE REMINDED. THE NEW ALBUM'S THE MOST PRE-ORDERED ALBUM IN AMAZON UK HISTORY BUT THE BAND SAYS IT'S ALMOST CERTAINLY PINK FLOYD'S LAST. NOW TO THE WEATHER.
