TONIGHT ` HE THOUGHT HE WAS ABOVE AND BEYOND THE LAW. NOW HE'S DOWN AND OUT IN A BRAZILIAN PRISON. WHAT NEXT FOR PHILLIP SMITH? IT LOOKED TO BE THE VERY DEFINITION OF SUCCESS. SO WHY ARE SCIENTISTS WORRIED ABOUT THAT HISTORICAL PROBE LANDING? AND HE WAS A DIMINUTIVE DYNAMO. NOW PRECIOUS MCKENZIE HAS PICKED UP THE WEIGHTS AGAIN AT ALMOST 80. DUE TO THE LIVE NATURE OF TONIGHT, WE APOLOGISE FOR THE LACK OF CAPTIONS FOR SOME ITEMS. POLICE ARE TONIGHT WORKING THROUGH THE OPTIONS TO GET PHILLIP SMITH BACK TO NZ AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE. A WEEK AFTER HE FLED FROM NZ THE CONVICTED MURDERER AND SEX ABUSER IS BACK BEHIND BARS. THIS TIME, HOWEVER, HE'S IN ONE OF BRAZIL'S MOST NOTORIOUS JAILS. AS HELEN CASTLES EXPLAINS, IT TURNS OUT THE SO-CALLED CUNNING FUGITIVE WASN'T SO CLEVER AFTER ALL. IT'S OVER. IT'S OVER DO YOU UNDERSTAND? THE MOMENT OF TRUTH FOR PHILLIP JOHN SMITH, ALSO KNOWN AS... PHILLIP JOHN TRAYNOR. BUT SMITH HAD YET ANOTHER ALIAS WHEN HE CHECKED INTO THIS HOSTEL, PAYING CASH FOR TWO NIGHTS IN A SHARED ROOM. HE JUST JOKED THAT HE WAS LOOKING FOR A WIFE, BUT WE DON'T ASK SO MANY THINGS ABOUT PEOPLE'S LIVES. SO HE TOLD ME HE CAME FROM AUSTRALIA FOR TOURISM. BUT SMITH APPARENTLY DIDN'T DO MUCH SIGHTSEEING, SPENDING A LOT OF TIME CHECKING MESSAGES ON A COMPUTER. IT APPEARS BRAZIL'S LARGEST CITY WAS HIS NEXT DESTINATION. HE'D ASKED ANOTHER BACKPACKER TO HELP HIM RENT A CAR TO GO TO SAO PAULO. HE WASN'T SUCCESSFUL. I'M STILL IN SHOCK NOW, TO TELL THE TRUTH. IT WAS SHOCK BECAUSE HE WAS HERE IN FRONT OF ME, TALKING TO ME. I WAS JOKING WITH HIM. BRAZILIAN POLICE WERE TIPPED OFF TO HIS WHEREABOUTS AFTER A WOMAN RECOGNISED HIM FROM A WEBSITE. AS THIS ARREST VIDEO SHOWS, SMITH DIDN'T PUT UP A FIGHT, ALTHOUGH HOSTEL STAFF SAY HE COMPLAINED A LITTLE WHEN HANDCUFFED. ONCE IN CUSTODY, A NZ OFFICER WAS ON HAND TO POSITIVELY IDENTIFY HIM. I THINK HE WAS SURPRISED TO SEE A NZ POLICE OFFICER HERE. HAVING SAID, THAT HE HAS BEEN VERY QUIET SINCE HIS APPREHENSION. SMITH FLED NZ LAST WEEK WHILE ON TEMPORARY RELEASE FROM PRISON, CATCHING A FLIGHT TO CHILE THEN ON TO BRAZIL. HE'D SERVED 19 YEARS' JAIL FOR CHILD SEX ABUSE AND MURDER. HIS VICTIM'S FAMILY ARE VERY RELIEVED AT HIS RECAPTURE. TO BE HONEST, MY HEART JUST SUNK AT 4 O'CLOCK THIS MORNING. WHEN THE PHONE WENT, I THOUGHT, 'WHAT NOW? WHAT'S HAPPENED?' AND THE POLICE OFFICER SAID 'NO, I'VE GOOD NEWS FOR YOU.' SMITH'S FATHER SAYS HIS SON SHOULD NEVER BE FREED. I WOULD SAY TO CORRECTIONS JUST CHANGE THE LINEN ON THE BED, TIDY UP THE CELL AND KEEP IT HANDY, COS IT WON'T BE LONG TILL HE BE BACK TO OCCUPY IT AGAIN. SMITH'S SISTER, JOANNE, WAS ONE OF TWO SPONSORS RESPONSIBLE FOR HIM WHILE HE WAS ON TEMPORARY RELEASE. POLICE ARE NOW INVESTIGATING THEIR ACTIONS, BUT THEY'RE FULL OF PRAISE FOR BRAZILIAN POLICE. I THINK THEY'VE DONE AN OUTSTANDING JOB. I THINK WE'RE TALKING ABOUT A CITY OF 10 MILLION PEOPLE. FOR THEM TO HAVE PICKED HIM UP SO QUICKLY IS A REAL CREDIT TO THE BRAZILIAN AUTHORITIES. SMITH'S NEXT DESTINATION IS NOW A PRISON CELL. HELEN CASTLES, ONE NEWS. SO WHAT HAPPENS NOW? THERE ARE A NUMBER OF WAYS FOR SMITH TO GET BACK HERE, INCLUDING DEPORTATION, EXTRADITION OR THE 40-YEAR-OLD WILLINGLY RETURNING. POLICE WANT A SPEEDY BUT LEGAL RETURN. THEY SAY IT'S LIKELY HE BREACHED BRAZIL'S IMMIGRATION LAW BY CLAIMING HE HAS NO CONVICTIONS. THERE IS NO LACK OF WILL ON THE PART OF BRAZILIAN AUTHORITIES TO HAVE MR SMITH COME BACK TO NZ. HE'S LIKELY TO BE IMPRISONED FOR ANOTHER 20 YEARS. BUT FIRST THERE WILL BE A LONG PLANE RIDE HOME WITH A POLICE ESCORT. IT TOOK JUST OVER TWO HOURS FOR A JURY TO FIND AN AMBULANCE OFFICER GUILTY OF SEXUALLY ASSAULTING WOMEN IN THE BACK OF AN AMBULANCE. CHRISTOPHER KING DENIED THE OFFENCES, BUT AFTER A NINE-DAY TRIAL, THE JURY BELIEVED HIS FOUR VICTIMS. THE FORMER ST JOHN PARAMEDIC WAS FOUND GUILTY OF EIGHT CHARGES IN ALL, INCLUDING STUPEFACTION, MAKING AN INTIMATE VISUAL RECORDING AND SEXUAL VIOLATION. HE'S TAKEN THE UNIFORM THE VEHICLE, HIS POSITION, AND USED THOSE AS A WAY OF ACTUALLY COMMITTING HIS CRIMES AND THAT'S ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE TO THIS ORGANISATION. POLICE WOULDN'T APPEAR ON CAMERA BUT IN A STATEMENT SAY THE VERDICT'S A 'RELIEF FOR THE VICTIMS' WHO HAD THE 'COURAGE TO COME FORWARD AND ENDURE A LENGTHY TRIAL.' ST JOHN SAYS ITS TAKEN STEPS TO ENSURE PATIENT SAFETY IN THE FUTURE. KING WILL BE SENTENCED NEXT MONTH. THE NZ WOMAN JAILED IN BALI FOR NINE MONTHS ON DRUG CHARGES IS TONIGHT BACK IN THE COUNTRY. LEEZA ORMSBY TALKED TO REPORTER ERIN CONROY ON HER ARRIVAL AT AUCKLAND AIRPORT. ARRIVING IN AUCKLAND TO A WAITING PACK OF MEDIA, A RELIEVED BUT WEARY LEEZA ORMSBY WAS NOT YET READY TO TALK ABOUT HER ORDEAL. JUST FOR NOW, I'M REALLY EXHAUSTED AND REALLY HAPPY TO BE HOME, BUT I JUST REALLY NEED A REST, YEAH? WE'D JUST LIKE TO KNOW WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO DO NOW, LEEZA. GO HOME, HAVE A BATH. BORN IN NZ BUT RAISED IN AUSTRALIA, SHE'S BEEN DEPORTED BACK HERE BECAUSE SHE HOLDS A NZ PASSPORT. I'M HAPPY TO BE HOME. I'M THANKFUL FOR MY FAMILY, EMBASSY, FRIENDS. ORMSBY SUMMED UP HER EXPERIENCE IN JUST A FEW WORDS. JAIL IS NOT VERY PLEASANT. THE 38-YEAR-OLD WAS RELEASED FROM BALI'S KEROBOKAN PRISON JUST YESTERDAY AND PUT ON A MIDNIGHT FLIGHT TO AUCKLAND. HER ORDEAL BEGAN IN FEBRUARY WHEN SHE STOPPED BY A FRIEND'S HOLIDAY VILLA JUST AS A DRUG RAID WAS TAKING PLACE. POLICE TRIED TO LINK HER TO THE DRUGS FOUND IN THE HOUSE BUT WERE UNSUCCESSFUL. POLICE DID FIND HALF A HASHISH JOINT IN HER HANDBAG, AND SHE WAS SENTENCED TO 10 MONTHS IN PRISON. THAT WAS REDUCED TO NINE MONTHS FOR GOOD BEHAVIOUR. I'LL BE HOME SOON. NOW IT'S UNDERSTOOD ORMSBY IS HEADING TO WELLINGTON TO STAY WITH A FRIEND SHE MET IN BALI,... THEY'LL SEE ME ON TV FIRST. ...DETERMINED TO PUT THIS NIGHTMARE BEHIND HER. ERIN CONROY, ONE NEWS. 'A BIG STEP FOR HUMAN CIVILISATION'. THAT'S HOW THE EUROPEAN SPACE AGENCY'S DESCRIBING THE HISTORIC LANDING OF A PROBE ON A DISTANT COMET. THE TINIEST MISCALCULATION WOULD HAVE MEANT DISASTER, BUT AGAINST ALL ODDS, IT WORKED. HERE'S CHANNEL NINE'S AIRLIE WALSH. MISSION ACCOMPLISHED. APPLAUSE AFTER A NAIL-BITING SEVEN-HOUR DESCENT, THE EUROPEAN SPACE AGENCY ERUPTED IN APPLAUSE, SUCCESSFULLY LANDING A SPACECRAFT ON A SPEEDING COMET FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME. THE HEART-STOPPING MISSION WAS WATCHED AROUND THE WORLD. GOOGLE CHANGED ITS MASTHEAD. EVEN STAR TREK COMMANDER CAPTAIN KIRK SENT HIS BEST. I AM SO EXCITED, AND I WISH YOU SUCH GOOD LUCK. AFTER BLASTING INTO SPACE IN 2004, THE ROSETTA SPACECRAFT HAS SPENT THE PAST DECADE SLINGSHOTTING AROUND EARTH AND MARS, TRAVELLING MORE THAN... UPON TAKE-OFF, FACEBOOK WAS JUST IN ITS INFANCY. NOW IT HAS ITS OWN TWITTER ADDRESS AND HAS EVEN BEEN POSTING SELFIES FROM SPACE. BUT IT WASN'T ALL HAPPY SNAPS AND SMOOTH LANDINGS. ENGINEERS QUICKLY DISCOVERED THE HARPOONS, DESIGNED TO ANCHOR THE SPACECRAFT TO THE COMET, FAILED TO FIRE. ONCE THE SPACECRAFT IS SECURED, THOUGH, THE NEXT PHASE IS A FACT-FINDING MISSION ` PHOTOGRAPHING AND DRILLING INTO THE SURFACE. SCIENTISTS ARE HOPING TO DISCOVER FRESH INSIGHTS INTO THE ORIGINS OF OUR SOLAR SYSTEM MORE THAN 4.5 BILLION YEARS AGO. THAT'S WHY THIS SPACECRAFT IS CALLED ROSETTA. IT'S AFTER THE ROSETTA STONE, WHICH WAS LIKE AN ENCRYPTION CODE TO DISCOVER MORE. THIS SOUND HAS ALREADY BEEN TRANSMITTED BACK. CLICKING THE SECRET TO LIFE ON EARTH? WHO KNOWS? AND IT'S BELIEVED THE PROBE IS NOW STABLE AFTER INITIALLY FAILING TO ATTACH TO THE SURFACE. KIM DOTCOM'S SEEKING A NEW LEGAL TEAM AFTER HIS HIGH-PROFILE NZ LAWYERS QUIT HIS CASE. THE INTERNET MOGUL'S UNITED STATES ATTORNEY TWEETED THE NEWS ACKNOWLEDGING HIGH-PROFILE QC PAUL DAVIDSON AND LAWYER WILLIAM AKEL'S WORK AS "WORLD CLASS". THE PAIR HAD BEEN REPRESENTING DOTCOM DURING HIS EXTRADITION BATTLE WITH THE U.S GOVERNMENT. THE SEX OFFENDER KNOWN AS THE BEAST OF BLENHEIM HAS PLEADED GUILTY TO BREACHING A PAROLE CONDITION. STEWART MURRAY WILSON MADE A PHONE CALL LAST YEAR TO A WOMAN HE WAS INSTRUCTED NOT TO CONTACT. THE CHANGE OF PLEA COMES JUST DAYS BEFORE THE MATTER WAS SET TO GO TO TRIAL. HOW MUCH EXTRA FUNDING STATE SCHOOLS GET WILL BE REVEALED NEXT WEEK. IT'S BASED ON THE DECILE SYSTEM ` ON THINGS LIKE HOUSEHOLD INCOME, THE PERCENTAGE OF PARENTS IN LOW-SKILLED JOBS AND HOW CROWDED HOUSING IS IN THE AREA. BUT SOME PRINCIPALS SAY IT'S MISUNDERSTOOD AND MISLEADING. PEOPLE PERHAPS DON'T FULLY UNDERSTAND THAT DECILE FUNDING WAS TO ADDRESS DISADVANTAGE, AND IT'S BECOME ALMOST A SYNONYM FOR BETTER OR POORER EDUCATION, WHICH IS QUITE AN INCORRECT IMPRESSION. THE EDUCATION MINISTER WANTS A REVIEW OF THE SYSTEM BUT ONLY AFTER SCHOOLS HAVE ADJUSTED TO THEIR NEW NUMBERS. NZ'S FIRST SPECIALIST TREATMENT PROGRAMME FOR CHILD SEX OFFENDERS HAS TODAY MARKED ITS 25TH ANNIVERSARY. MEDIA WERE GIVEN SPECIAL ACCESS INSIDE THE KIA MARAMA FACILITY NEAR CHRISTCHURCH FOR THE OCCASION. MORE THAN 1100 MEN HAVE RECEIVED TREATMENT AT THE UNIT SINCE IT OPENED IN 1989. WE KNOW THAT 93% OF THE MEN WHO COMPLETE THE KIA MARAMA SPECIAL TREATMENT UNIT PROGRAMME WON'T GO ON TO REOFFEND. PRISONERS AT THE UNIT TEND TO THEIR OWN GARDEN AND NURSERY, WITH THE PRODUCE AND PLANTS GOING TO THE CITY MISSION AND GARDEN CENTRES. NZ'S REPUTATION FOR PRODUCING QUALITY WINE CONTINUES TO GROW, BUT FOR OUR WINE TO MAKE THE GRADE IN FOREIGN MARKETS IT HAS TO BE GOOD. AND TO BE GOOD, A GREAT WINEMAKER NEEDS TO BE INVOLVED, WHICH IS WHERE A NEW AWARD COMES INTO PLAY ` ONE THAT RECOGNISES OUR TOP YOUNG VINTNERS. HERE'S HANNAH MILLS. AND THE WINNER IS PATRICK NEWTON OF MUDBRICK VINEYARDS FROM WAIHEKE ISLAND. IT'S FAIR TO SAY PATRICK NEWTON HAS WINE IN HIS VEINS. HIS CHILDHOOD WAS SPENT WORKING ON A FAMILY-OWNED VINEYARD. HE'S COMPLETED VINTAGES OVERSEAS, AND SINCE 2011 HE'S BEEN THE WINEMAKER AT WAIHEKE ISLAND'S FAMOUS MUDBRICK VINEYARD. ADDING TO THAT, HE'S JUST BECOME NZ'S FIRST TOP YOUNG WINEMAKER. IT GAVE ME SOMETHING TO AIM FOR WHEN I HEARD THERE WAS THIS COMPETITION, AND TO COME OUT ON TOP IS FANTASTIC. IT MEANS THE WORLD TO ME. THIS NEW AWARD SEEKS TO FIND THE CREME DA LA CREME OF OUR WINEMAKERS UNDER THE AGE OF 35. IT WAS A BIT OF AN EXPERIMENT AND WE HAD SOME REALLY GOOD ENTRIES, BUT I THINK IT'S A SIGN OF THE SORT OF MATURITY OF OUR WINE INDUSTRY WHERE YOUNG PEOPLE ARE IN POSITIONS WHERE THEY'RE MAKING SOME PRETTY OUTSTANDING WINES. NINE HOPEFULS FROM AROUND THE COUNTRY ENTERED THE INAUGURAL CONTEST. THEY EACH HAD TO SUBMIT THREE DIFFERENT WINES THAT WERE JUDGED BY SOME OF NZ'S TOP WINE EXPERTS. THEY HAD TO SHOW THE DEPTH AND PERSPECTIVE OF THEIR OWN WINEMAKING STYLE AND SHOW THEIR VERSATILITY, BUT AT THE SAME TIME SHOW THEIR FOOTPRINT OVER THEIR WINE STYLE. AND AS FOR PATRICK'S WINNING WINES... THE 2013 MUDBRICK VELVET WHICH IS MUDBRICK'S FLAGSHIP WINE, THE 2013 MUDBRICK RESERVE SYRAH AND THE 2013 MUDBRICK RESERVE CHARDONNAY THE WINNING WINE MAKER REALLY SHOWED AN AMAZING DEPTH ACROSS DIFFERENT GRAPE VARIETIES. IT'S REALLY DIFFICULT TO SHOW TRUE EXCELLENCE, BUT AS A GROUP OF WINES THEY SHOWED CONSISTENCY OF STYLE. THERE'S A REAL PERSONALITY COMING THROUGH FROM THAT WINEMAKER PERSONALITY AND HOPEFULLY A TASTE OF WHAT'S TO COME FROM OUR NEXT GENERATION OF TOP WINEMAKERS. HANNAH MILLS, ONE NEWS.

AUSTRALIAN OFFICIALS SAY THEY'RE MONITORING THE RUSSIAN WARSHIPS THAT APPEAR TO BE COMING EVER CLOSER TO AUSTRALIA'S COAST. PRIME MINISTER TONY ABBOTT INSISTS THE FLEET HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH HIS DIPLOMATIC SPAT WITH VLADIMIR PUTIN, BUT MILITARY EXPERTS DISAGREE. CHANNEL NINE'S MARK BURROWS EXPLAINS. THE PRIDE OF RUSSIA'S PACIFIC FLEET ` THE GUIDED MISSILE CRUISER VERYAG, THE CENTREPIECE OF A CONVOY OF RUSSIAN WARSHIPS IN WATERS OF THE NORTH COAST OF AUSTRALIA. NOTHING SINISTER, SAYS THE PRIME MINISTER, AND NOT CONNECTED IN ANY WAY WITH HIS DESIRE TO SHIRTFRONT VLADIMIR PUTIN. CERTAINLY, IT IS UNUSUAL FOR RUSSIAN NAVAL ELEMENTS TO BE IN AUSTRALIAN WATERS THE RUSSIAN CONVOY IS CURRENTLY OFF THE CORAL SEA OFF THE COAST OF AUSTRALIA BUT IN INTERNATIONAL WATERS. THE FORMER CHEF OF ARM, PETER LEAHY, SAYS VLADIMIR PUTIN WANTS TO SEND A MESSAGE AHEAD OF THE G20 IN BRISBANE. THIS IS RUSSIA AT THE GEOPOLITICAL LEVEL MAKING A STATEMENT ` 'HEY, DON'T FORGET US. 'WE KNOW THAT AFTER THE COLD WAR IT ALL FELL APART, 'BUT NOW WE'RE BACK.' SOME OF THIS MORNING'S HEADLINES SEEMED CLOSE TO SCREAMING, 'THE RUSSIANS ARE COMING.' HOWEVER THE RUSSIAN EMBASSY IN CANBERRA HIT FACEBOOK, SAYING IT THAT THE HONOUR TO ANNOUNCE... SOMETIMES THAT'S WHAT INTERNATIONAL POLITICS COMES DOWN TO. POSTURING, SIGNALLING, MAKING YOUR OPPONENT HAVE TO GUESS AT YOUR MOVES. MEANWHILE, A TOP NATO COMMANDER IS WARNING OF A RENEWED WAR BETWEEN RUSSIA AND THE UKRAINE AFTER RUSSIAN TROOPS AND MILITARY EQUIPMENT WERE SEEN CROSSING THE BORDER. MOSCOW, HOWEVER, IS DENYING ANY SUCH ACTIVITY AND IS CHALLENGING NATO TO PRODUCE EVIDENCE. UKRAINE'S GOVERNMENT NOW SAYS IT IS REDEPLOYING ITS FORCES IN CASE OF A RUSSIAN STRIKE. THE NEIGHBOURING COUNTRIES HAVE BEEN OBSERVING A FRAGILE CEASEFIRE SINCE MID-SEPTEMBER. A HAIR-RAISING RESCUE HAS BEEN PLAYED OUT HIGH ABOVE THE STREETS OF NEW YORK. TWO WINDOW CLEANERS FOUND THEMSELVES IN A TERRIFYING JAM WHEN THEIR PLATFORM SUDDENLY COLLAPSED. CHANNEL NINE'S CHRISTINE AHERN REPORTS. TWO WINDOW WASHERS HANGING ON FOR THEIR LIVES. THIS IS SCARY. I COULD ONLY IMAGINE THE WORST SCENARIO. THE THING IS TO GET THESE GUYS OUT OF THERE BEFORE SOMETHING ELSE HAPPENS. THE TWO MEN BECAME STUCK WHEN A CABLE GAVE WAY, SENDING THE SCAFFOLDING THEY WERE IN TO HANG ALMOST VERTICALLY ON THE 68TH FLOOR OF AMERICA'S TALLEST SKYSCRAPER. FIREFIGHTERS RUSHED TO THE NEWLY OPENED ONE WORLD TRADE CENTER, CLEARING OUT THE 9/11 MEMORIAL PLAZA BELOW. FOR OVER AN HOUR, THE WINDOW WASHERS WAITED. INITIALLY, FIREFIGHTERS WERE GOING TO BE LOWERED DOWN TO RESCUE THEM, BUT IN THE END THEY MANAGED TO SAW A HOLE IN THE THREE-LAYERED GLASS OF THE $4B BUILDING. WOMAN: A SIGNIFICANT OPENING HAS NOW JUST BEEN MADE IN THE GLASS. THEY CUT ABOUT A THREE-EIGHTHS INCH LAYER OF THE OUTER GLASS AND AGAIN WERE ABLE TO SAFELY MOVE THAT INTO THE BUILDING. THE WORKERS WERE CAREFULLY PLUCKED INSIDE ONE BY ONE. THERE HE'S HOLDING ON TO ONE OF THE LINES, AND HE IS ABOUT TO GET INSIDE THE BUILDING. MAN: AND HE IS SAFE. THEY HAVE GOT HIM. THIS PICTURE TAKEN FROM INSIDE THE BUILDING SHOWS WHAT FIREFIGHTERS WERE FACING BEFORE THE MEN WERE FINALLY RESCUED. THEY WERE QUIET. WE JUST GOT THEM RIGHT TO THE STRETCHER. THEY REALLY DIDN'T SAY MUCH. THE WINDOW WASHERS SUFFERED MILD HYPOTHERMIA BUT ARE OTHERWISE FINE ` A CLIFFHANGER WITH A HAPPY ENDING. OUR NEXT STORY COULD FREAK YOU OUT, ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE AT ALL CLAUSTROPHOBIC THIS IS THE MOMENT A MAN WAS FREED AFTER THREE DAYS ` THREE DAYS ` TRAPPED IN A WALL ` YES A WALL ` OF A COLORADO DEPARTMENT STORE. HE'D BEEN TRYING TO GET INTO THE STORE FROM THE ROOF WHEN HE FELL AND GOT STUCK. WORKERS HEARD YELLING BUT COULDN'T WORK OUT WHERE IT WAS COMING FROM. FIREFIGHTERS EVENTUALLY FREED THE MAN BY CUTTING A HOLE IN THE WALL. FOUR MONTHS AFTER THE FIRST POPPY WAS PLANTED IN LONDON'S FIELD OF REMEMBRANCE AT THE TOWER OF LONDON, THE TRIBUTE IS NOW BEING DISMANTLED. 8000 VOLUNTEERS ARE HELPING TO REMOVE ALL 868,246 POPPIES. EACH CERAMIC FLOWER REPRESENTS THE DEATH OF BRITISH AND COMMONWEALTH SOLDIERS KILLED IN WWI. SOME OF THE POPPIES WERE PUT UP FOR SALE AND WERE EAGERLY SNAPPED UP, RAISING AROUND $30M FOR CHARITIES SUPPORTING SERVICEMEN AND WOMEN. IN SPORT, A COMPLETELY NEW ALL BLACKS SIDE HAS BEEN REVEALED TO PLAY SCOTLAND THIS WEEKEND IN EDINBURGH. AND, YES, DAN CARTER IS STARTING, AND RICHIE MCCAW HAS A NEW POSITION. THERE ARE 15 CHANGES TO THE STARTING 15. AT THE BACK, COLIN SLADE GETS HIS FIRST TEST START ON THE WING. CROTTY AND FEKITOA COMBINE IN THE MIDFIELD.

NOW TO SOME MORE UPLIFTING NEWS ` WEIGHTLIFTER PRECIOUS MCKENZIE IS COMING OUT OF RETIREMENT TO BE INDUCTED INTO THE POWERLIFTING HALL OF FAME. SHOWING HE'S STILL GOT HIS WITS ABOUT HIM, THE 78-YEAR-OLD'S MANAGED TO CONVINCE FOUR NOVICES TO COMPETE WITH HIM IN LAS VEGAS. IT'S ONE OF THE GREATEST THINGS TO DO ` TO GET THEM TO DO SOMETHING AND ACHIEVE SOMETHING WHICH, IN A LIFETIME, THEY'LL REMEMBER THIS. PRECIOUS PLANS TO SET WORLD RECORDS IN THE US BUT ADMITS THE TOUGHEST COMPETITION AT HIS AGE IS HIMSELF. FOR THE OTHERS, JUST COMPLETING THEIR FIRST COMPETITION IS THE GOAL ALTHOUGH THEY DID HOLD A TRIAL RUN AT THE RETIREMENT VILLAGE. NOW TO THAT ALL IMPORTANT QUESTION ` IS THE LOUSY WEATHER GOING TO IMPROVE? AND BENT FEET AND WAVING ARMS AHOY, THE AUSTRALIAN CONTEMPORARY DANCE COMPANY AND THEIR KIWI CONTINGENT ARE HERE. IT'S BEEN A DECADE-LONG INTERMISSION, BUT NOW THE WORLD-RENOWNED SYDNEY DANCE COMPANY IS BACK ON OUR STAGE, AND JOINING THEM FOR THEIR PERFORMANCES OF '2 ONE ANOTHER' ARE THREE KIWI-TRAINED DANCERS. MONIQUE FISCHER REPORTS. DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS CONTEMPORARY DANCE SOMETIMES GETS A BIT OF A BAD RAP. PEOPLE ARE A BIT SCARED THAT THEY'RE MEANT TO BE GETTING SOMETHING THAT THEY'RE NOT GETTING, AND IN FACT, JUST LIKE LISTENING TO MUSIC, IT'S ACTUALLY A RELIEF, BECAUSE IT'S ABOUT WHAT YOU WANT TO GET OUT OF IT. AFTER A 10-YEAR BREAK, THE SYDNEY DANCE COMPANY'S BACK IN TOWN WITH A STORY ABOUT HUMAN INTERACTION. I THINK THE WAY THAT WE RELATE TO ONE ANOTHER. AND FOR THREE OF THE DANCERS, IT'S A THEME THAT RINGS ESPECIALLY TRUE. THIS KIWI-TRAINED TRIO SPENT THREE YEARS AT THE NZ SCHOOL OF DANCE IN WELLINGTON ` AN EXPERIENCE THEY BELIEVE GAVE THEM AN EDGE. THEY CREATE REALLY VERSATILE DANCERS, BECAUSE WE LEARN SO MUCH IN SO MANY DIFFERENT AREAS OF DANCE. THESE DANCERS CREDIT THE SHOW'S SUCCESS AND INTERNATIONAL AWARDS TO ARTISTIC DIRECTOR RAFAEL BONACHELA. THE SHOW AND ITS GROUP OF 16 DANCERS HAS BEEN TOURING AROUND THE WORLD FOR THE LAST TWO AND A HALF YEARS ` FROM MOSCOW TO MEXICO. ALL OF THESE MEXICAN FARMERS, THEY WERE JUST SITTING IN THE AISLES AND SCREAMING. ALL CHUCKLE IT WAS AMAZING. IT WAS AN INCREDIBLE EXPERIENCE, SO I THINK THAT SPEAKS FOR THE WORK. ALSO SPEAKING VOLUMES... THE MUSIC, I THINK, IS ONE INCREDIBLE... TOTALLY. ...PART OF IT THAT THE AUDIENCE ALWAYS MENTION IT'S LIKE A SOLID FAT FREDDY'S SHOW. BOTH: YEAH. YOUR FEET SHAKE. YOUR BUM SHAKES, AND... ALL LAUGH ...EVERYONE'S SHAKING TOGETHER. '2 ONE ANOTHER' IS A WORK WHERE YOU CAN TAKE A JOURNEY YOURSELF AND GET LOST IN WHAT THE BODY CAN SAY AND WHAT THE BODY CAN EXPRESS. THAT EXPRESSION CAN BE SEEN ONSTAGE IN AUCKLAND THIS WEEKEND. MONIQUE FISCHER, ONE NEWS. NOW TO THE WEATHER. FOR WEATHER, SEE ONENEWS.CO.NZ THAT'S IT FROM US HERE ON TONIGHT ` WELL, ALMOST. WE'RE GOING TO LEAVE YOU WITH SOME IMAGES FROM THIS YEAR'S 'ART IN THE DARK' EXHIBITION, ON DISPLAY IN AUCKLAND FOR THE NEXT THREE NIGHTS. THANKS FOR WATCHING. GOODNIGHT.
