IT'S MIDDAY ` A DECISION'S IMMINENT ON THE RENA SHIPWRECK, BUT WILL RIGHT THE DAMAGE OF NZ'S WORST-EVER ENVIRONMENTAL DISASTER? AN 'ATMOSPHERE OF FEAR' AT THE BBC ALLOWED JIMMY SAVILE TO ABUSE CHILDREN FOR FIVE DECADES, ACCORDING TO A NEW REPORT. AND $8M ` A SMALL PRICE TO PAY TO RESTORE A MASTER OF THE RAILS. DUE TO THE LIVE NATURE OF MIDDAY, WE APOLOGISE FOR THE LACK OF CAPTIONS FOR SOME ITEMS. A DECISION ON THE FATE OF THE SHIPWRECK RESPONSIBLE FOR ONE OF NZ'S WORST-EVER ENVIRONMENTAL DISASTERS IS DUE TO BE MADE IN TWO HOURS. THE BAY OF PLENTY REGIONAL COUNCIL WILL DECIDE WHETHER TO LEAVE OR REMOVE LEFTOVER PARTS OF THE RENA ON THE ASTROLABE OFF THE COAST OF TAURANGA. IT'S AN ISSUE THAT'S PITTED THE OWNERS OF THE VESSEL, WHO WANT IT TO STAY THERE, AGAINST LOCAL IWI AND OTHER GROUPS. THE 2011 RENA GROUNDING SPILLED HUNDREDS OF TONS OF OIL INTO THE SEA, BUT REMOVAL OF THE WRECK HAS LONG BEEN CONSIDERED TOO DANGEROUS AND EXPENSIVE. MANY BAY OF PLENTY IWI HAVE ADVOCATED FOR THE WRECK TO BE REMOVED FORM THE ASTROLABE, BUT RECENTLY THEY'VE TEAMED UP WITH ENVIRONMENTALISTS TO SEEK A 'RAHUI', OR TEMPORARY CLOSURE OF THE AREA AROUND THE WRECK, TO ALLOW IT TO ALLOW THE SEABED AT THE SITE TO RECOVER. TE KARERE REPORTER HINERANGI GOODMAN IS IN TAURANGA, AND SAYS THAT IWI HOPES OF A RAHUI COULD BE PRE-EMTPED BY TODAY'S DECISION. THERE'S AN AIR OF NERVOUS ANTICIPATION HERE IN TAURANGA MOST OF THE IWI LEADERS I'VE SPOKEN TO ARE RELUCTANT TO TALK UNTIL THE DECISION IS RELEASED AT 2PM. HOWEVER, I'M EXPECTING THE REGIONAL COUNCIL TO RULE IN FAVOUR OF THE OWNERS OF THE RENA AND ALLOW THE WRECK TO REMAIN ON ASTROLABE REEF, WHICH THE TANGATA WHENUA CALL 'TE TAU O OTAITI'. THAT DECISION WILL PROBABLY HAVE CONDITIONS, SO IF THERE IS ANOTHER CONTAMINATION FROM THE WECK IN FUTURE YEARS, THE OWNERS WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY CLEANUP. BUT I'M PREDICTING THAT IWI ARE UNLIKELY TO BE HAPPY WITH THE DECISION EVEN WITH THE ADDED CONDITIONS. POLICE ARE ON THE HUNT FOR A MAN WHO ESCAPED FROM CUSTODY IN NELSON THIS MORNING. IT'S THE SECOND TIME IHAKA KAWANA EVADED AUTHORITIES IN SIX MONTHS. HE WAS LAST SEEN HEADING IN THE DIRECTION OF QUEENS GARDENS, WEARING A BROWN T-SHIRT AND BLACK JEANS. POLICE SAY KAWANA IS CONSIDERED DANGEROUS AND SHOULD NOT BE APPROACHED. INVESTIGATIONS ARE UNDERWAY AFTER THE BODY OF A WOMAN WAS FOUND BADLY BURNT NEXT TO A CAR IN LOWER HUTT THIS MORNING. SEAN HOGAN HAS THE DETAILS. THE FIRE SERVICE WERE CALLED TO THE BELMONT REGIONAL PARK HERE JUST AFTER 7AM THIS MORNING. WHEN THEY ARRIVED, THEY FOUND A CAR FULLY ABLAZE ABOUT 300M UP THE ROAD IN THE CAR PARK. WHEN THEY GOT THERE, AS WELL, THEY ALSO FOUND A BODY THAT WAS ON FIRE. THE VICTIM IS NOW DECEASED. POLICE AND FIRE HAVE BEEN COMING AND GOING ALL MORNING. WE SPOKE WITH HUTT VALLEY ACTING AREA COMMANDER INSPECTOR TERRY VAN DILLEN. HERE'S WHAT HE HAD TO SAY. SO WE'LL DO OUR ENQUIRIES. WE'VE GOT, OBVIOUSLY, THE FIRE SERVICE ON THE SCENE, WITH OUR POLICE AND OUR FORENSICS. WE'RE MAKING THOSE ENQUIRIES NOW ABOUT IDENTIFYING THE CAR. WE'RE PRETTY COMFORTABLE WE'VE POSSIBLY IDENTIFIED THAT CAR NOW, SO WE'RE DOING THOSE ENQUIRIES WITH` TRYING TO LOCATE WHO THIS PERSON IS AND THEN DEALING WITH THE FAMILY AND WORKING FROM THERE. FORENSIC PHOTOGRAPHERS WILL BE ON THE SCENE THROUGHOUT THE DAY, TRYING TO PIECE TOGETHER EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED HERE, AND THE PARK WILL BE TEMPORARILY CLOSED. THE MAN WHO FATALLY STABBED HIS EX-PARTNER, SPARKING A LOCKDOWN OF SEVERAL SCHOOLS ON THE NORTH SHORE, HAS BEEN SENTENCED TO LIFE IMPRISONMENT THIS MORNING. BRENT SCOTT KILLED HIS FORMER PARTNER HEIDI WELMAN-SCOTT AND SERIOUSLY INJURED MS WELMAN-SCOTT'S DAUGHTER AND HER BOYFRIEND, IN THE AUCKLAND SUBURB OF ALBANY, BACK IN 2014. SEVERAL SCHOOLS AND STREETS IN THE AREA WERE LOCKED DOWN AFTER THE 46-YEAR-OLD FLED FROM POLICE, BEFORE HE WAS DETAINED TRYING TO FLY TO SOUTH AFRICA. SCOTT WILL SERVE A MINIMUM NON-PAROLE PERIOD OF 17 YEARS. TODAY'S THE LAST CHANCE FOR CHRISTCHURCH'S REDZONED RESIDENTS TO HAND OVER THE KEYS TO THEIR HOME. 92 OWNERS HAVE ACCEPTED THE GOVERNMENT'S BUY-OUT OFFER. THEY MUST BE OUT BY THE END OF THE DAY OR THEY'LL BE IN BREACH OF THEIR SALES AGREEMENT, ALTHOUGH CERA SAY IT'LL CONTINUE TO WORK WITH THOSE PEOPLE TO REACH A SETTLEMENT. A PRIVACY BREACH BY ACC HAS BEEN REVEALED AFTER AN AUCKLAND MAN SAYS HIS DETAILS WERE SENT IN A LETTER TO THE WRONG PERSON. HE SPOKE TO JESSICA MUTCH. DAVE CHARLES HAD AN ELBOW REPLACEMENT, A KNEE REPLACEMENT AND A BROKEN BACK OVER THE YEARS. HE'S AN ENGINEER BY TRADE. PRETTY MUCH BANGED UP, AND I WORK AS I CAN. I WANNA GO TO WORK. I WANNA GET BACK TO WORK. I HAVE A COMPANY, AND I NEED TO BE THERE, HE WAS SENT A LETTER FROM ACC DETAILING HIS REHABILITATION, BUT ATTACHED WERE TWO FORMS MEANT FOR SOMEONE ELSE. I'M APPALLED ABOUT IT, TO BE HONEST WITH YOU. THE LETTER INCLUDED THE NAME, ADDRESS AND DATE OF BIRTH OF A COMPLETE STRANGER, BUT NO MEDICAL DETAILS WERE DISCLOSED. WELL, IF I'M GETTING SOMEONE ELSE'S INFORMATION, WHO'S GETTING MY INFORMATION? PRIVACY HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE FOR ACC. FOUR YEARS AGO, BRONWYN PULLAR WAS SENT 7000 PERSONAL FILES BY ACCIDENT. IT WAS ONE OF NZ'S WORST PRIVACY BREACHES. MR CHARLES SAYS IN HIS CASE, IT'S A MATTER OF PRINCIPLE. WHAT'S YOUR BIGGEST CONCERN WITH THIS? PRIVACY. THIS IS ALL SUPPOSED TO BE VERY VERY PRIVATE, AND IT'S OBVIOUSLY NOT HAPPENING. THE TWO FORMS HAVE NOW BEEN SENT BACK TO ACC. JESSICA MUTCH, ONE NEWS. THE BBC REPEATEDLY FAILED TO STOP "MONSTROUS" ABUSE BY DJ JIMMY SAVILE BECAUSE OF A "CULTURE OF FEAR". THAT'S THE VIEW PUT FORWARD BY AN INDEPENDENT REVIEW OF THE JIMMY SAVILE AFFAIR, WHICH IDENTIFIED 72 VICTIMS OF SAVILLE OVER FIVE DECADES, STARTING IN THE 1960S. IT FOUND SENIOR MANAGERS WERE NOT TOLD OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT SAVILE BECAUSE OF AN "ATMOSPHERE OF FEAR" WHICH STILL EXISTS IN THE BBC. SAVILE DIED IN 2011 AGED 84 WITHOUT EVER FACING PROSECUTION. AND WE'LL TAKE A CLOSER LOOK AT JIMMY SAVILE'S LONG HISTORY OF SEXUAL ABUSE LATER IN THE PROGRAMME. THE AUSTRALIAN GOVERNMENT HAS ISSUED A TRAVEL WARNING FOR INDONESIA, A POPULAR HOLIDAY DESTINATION FOR KIWIS AND AUSSIES. THERE ARE FEARS TERRORISTS MAY ALREADY BE PLANNING ADVANCE ATTACKS ON THE COUNTRY. ABC'S ADAM HARVEY WITH THIS. AT THE SITE OF THE 2002 BALI BOMBING, INDONESIAN POLICE ARE DEALING WITH A NEW THREAT. THE DEPARTMENT OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS SAYS ` THIS NEW WARNING ADDS A LEVEL OF URGENCY TO EXISTING ADVICE THAT AUSTRALIANS EXERCISE A HIGH DEGREE OF CAUTION IN PLACES LIKE BALI, JAKARTA AND LOMBOK. THERE IS MAY BE PREPARING, SO THERE IS... INDICATIONS MAY BE PREPARING, SO THAT'S THE LEVEL OF CERTAINTY OF THE ADVICE. IT WAS JUST LAST MONTH THAT TERRORISTS INSPIRED BY ISLAMIC STATE IDEOLOGY ATTACKED A STARBUCKS CAFE AND POLICE POST IN CENTRAL JAKARTA. THE SUICIDE BOMBINGS AND SHOOTINGS KILLED FOUR INNOCENT PEOPLE. AUSTRALIAN TRAVELLERS ARE BEING WARNED TO BE PARTICULARLY CAREFUL AT POSSIBLE TERRORIST TARGETS, INCLUDING NIGHTCLUBS AND RESTAURANTS, HOTELS, AIRPORTS AND PLACES OF WORSHIP. MEANWHILE, HOTELS IN FIJI ARE EMPTYING OUT IN THE WAKE OF CYCLONE WINSTON, PROMPTING FEARS TOURISTS MAY STAY AWAY. TOURISM IS THE COUNTRY'S PRIMARY INDUSTRY AND BUSINESS OWNERS ARE WORRIED MUCH-NEEDED INCOME WILL BE LOST. OWNERS ARE TRYING TO REASSURE TRAVELLERS THEY'RE STILL OPEN FOR BUSINESS DESPITE THE 30-DAY STATE OF EMERGENCY DECLARED NATIONWIDE. THEY SAY THE BEST WAY TO HELP FIJI RECOVER IS TO VISIT. THE SINGER KESHA HAS BEEN MAKING HEADLINES WITH HER LEGAL BATTLE TO GET HER OUT OF HER RECORDING CONTRACT. KESHA HAS ACCUSED HER LONG-TIME PRODUCER OF ABUSING HER, A CHARGE HE DENIES. NOW A NEW VIDEO HAS SURFACED RAISING MORE QUESTIONS. THE ABC'S RENA NINAN HAS MORE. SHE'S THE 'TIK TOK' SINGER AT THE CENTRE OF A LEGAL BATTLE ROCKING THE MUSIC INDUSTRY. OVERNIGHT, NEW VIDEO OBTAINED BY ACC NEWS OF POP SENSATION KESHA APPEARING IN A 2011 DEPOSITION,... DR LUKE NEVER MADE SEXUAL ADVANCES AT ME. ...SWEARING UNDER OATH IN THIS EDITED VERSION THAT SHE WAS NOT SEXUALLY INVOLVED WITH HER PRODUCER, LUKASZ GOTTWALD, KNOWN AS DR LUKE. DID YOU EVER HAVE AN INTIMATE RELATIONSHIP WITH GOTTWALD? NO. IN A LAWSUIT FILED IN 2014, KESHA ALLEGES THAT ` ...HER. IN THE 2011 CLIP, BOTH KESHA AND HER MOTHER DENY ANY INAPPROPRIATE SEXUAL BEHAVIOUR. A REPRESENTATIVE FOR DR LUKE TELLING ABC NEWS ` OVERNIGHT, KESHA'S ATTORNEY TELLING ABC NEWS ` (SINGS) THE SINGER TAKING TO FACEBOOK WEDNESDAY, TO THANK FANS FOR THEIR SUPPORT. AT LAST NIGHT'S BRIT AWARDS, ADELE JOINING THE LONG LIST OF CELEBRITY #FREEKESHA SUPPORTERS. I'D ALSO LIKE TO TAKE THIS MOMENT TO PUBLICLY SUPPORT KESHA. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. APPLAUSE TO HAPPIER ENTERTAINMENT NEWS, AND SOME PROOF THAT BARACK OBAMA'S USING HIS LAST YEAR IN OFFICE FOR SOME OF THE MORE FUN JOBS BEING PRESIDENT ENTAILS. IN THE LAST INSTALMENT OF A SERIES OF TELEVISED PERFORMANCES AT THE WHITE HOUSE, PRESIDENT OBAMA SAID IT WAS THE LAST OF HIS PRESIDENCY, AND PRECEDED TO SING ALONG WITH THE ASSEMBLED SUPERSTARS TO ONE OF RAY CHARLES' CLASSIC SONGS, 'WHAT'D I SAY?' # YEAH! # # YEAH! # # UH! # # UH! # # OH, SHAKE THAT THING! # THE SHOW ALSO INCLUDED PERFORMANCES BY DEMI LOVATO AND USHER AMONGST OTHERS. THE 'IN PERFORMANCE AT THE WHITE HOUSE' SERIES HAS BEEN GOING FOR 38 YEARS. STILL TO COME ON MIDDAY ` WHY WAS NO ONE WATCHING JIMMY SAVILLE? MORE ON WHY BBC STAFF WERE TOO FEARFUL TO CHALLENGE HIS TRANSGRESSIONS. AND THE LITTLE BOY WHO CAN NOW DRESS JUST LIKE HIS IDOL. HOW THIS VIRAL STORY GOT A HAPPY ENDING. A REPORT PUBLISHED TODAY FINDS ENTERTAINER JIMMY SAVILE'S ACTIVITIES AT THE BBC WENT ON FOR DECADES WITHOUT BEING CHALLENGED. THE REPORT FOUND MORE THAN A HUNDRED PEOPLE AT THE BBC KNEW OF THE RUMOURS ABOUT HIM, AND THERE WERE SEVERAL MISSED OPPORTUNITIES TO EXPOSE HIM. THE BBC'S LUCY MANNING HAS MORE. WHILE MILLIONS WERE WATCHING THE BBC, NO ONE WAS KEEPING AN EYE ON SAVILE. THE BBC CREATED HIM, AND ALLOWED A PAEDOPHILE TO PREY ON ITS VIEWERS AND STAFF FOR DECADES. AND IN THE NORTH, STUART HALL WAS USING HIS FAME TO SEXUALLY ASSAULT YOUNG GIRLS. IT MAKES SORRY READING FOR THE BBC ` SAVILE ASSAULTING GIRLS ON TOP OF THE POPS, RAPING CHILDREN, AND NEVER STOPPED BECAUSE HE WAS VIEWED UNTOUCHABLE, YET MANY STAFF WERE AWARE OF RUMOURS ABOUT HIM. THE CULTURE OF THE BBC CERTAINLY ENABLED BOTH SAVILE AND STUART HALL TO GO UNDETECTED FOR DECADES. YOU SAY THAT NO SENIOR MANAGERS KNEW WHAT SAVILE WAS UP TO. ISN'T THIS, AS SOME OF THE VICTIMS THINK, A WHITEWASH? (CHUCKLES) IT CERTAINLY ISN'T A WHITEWASH. KEVIN COOK WAS JUST 9 WHEN SAVILE SEXUALLY ASSAULTED HIM AFTER A VISIT TO 'JIM'LL FIX IT', ONE OF 17 VICTIMS FROM THE SHOW. MY PERSONAL CASE WAS IN 1976, UM, AND AS I UNDERSTAND IT, THERE WAS SOME ACCUSATIONS WITH SAVILE IN THE EARLY 70'S ` '72 OR '73. SO I FEEL THAT... I SHOULDN'T BE HERE. HE RECEIVED COMPENSATION FROM THE BBC AND DOES ACCEPT ITS APOLOGY TO VICTIMS. THE BBC FAILED YOU WHEN IT SHOULD'VE PROTECTED YOU. I AM DEEPLY SORRY FOR THE HURT CAUSED TO EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU. THE PRIEST WHO HELPED SAVILE WRITE HIS BOOK ON RELIGION IS NAMED AS ONE OF THREE BBC PEOPLE WHO COULD'VE DONE SOMETHING ABOUT HIM. I'VE GOT VERY VERY DEEP REGRETS. I'VE GOT UTTER, UTTER SADNESS. THIS IS THE LAST MAJOR REPORT INTO SAVILE. THE DAYS OF VICTIMS BEING TOLD 'KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT, HE'S A VIP' HOPEFULLY OVER. IN THE RACE FOR US PRESIDENT, REPUBLICAN FRONTRUNNER HAS A NEW BATTLE. THIS TIME, IT'S FORMER REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTIAL CONTENDER MITT ROMNEY WHO SUGGESTED THERE'S A BOMBSHELL HIDING IN TRUMP'S TAX RETURNS. THE ABC'S KENNETH MOTON HAS MORE. HOURS BEFORE SEVERE WEATHER RIPPED THROUGH VIRGINIA OVERNIGHT, DONALD TRUMP WAS ON THE GROUND, RALLYING SUPPORTERS, TALKING RUNNING MATES. I DO WANT SOMEBODY POLITICAL, BECAUSE WE'VE GOT TO GET LOTS OF GREAT LEGISLATION THAT WE ALL WANT PASSED. TRUMP WAS A NO-SHOW FOR 'REPUBLICAN TOWN HALL' ON FOX NEWS, HOSTED BY MEGYN KELLY, WHO HAD A VERY PUBLIC FEUD WITH THE GOP FRONTRUNNER. THE CANDIDATES LINED UP, AS THEY WORKED TO TAKE DOWN TRUMP. WE ARE NOT GOING TO ALLOW THE CONSERVATIVE MOVEMENT TO BE DEFINED BY A NOMINEE WHO ISN'T A CONSERVATIVE. ALL FOUR REPUBLICANS PROMISED TO RELEASE THEIR TAX RETURNS THIS WEEK, AFTER MITT ROMNEY CALLED ON THEM TO DO SO. THE 2012 GOP NOMINEE EVEN SAID HE BELIEVES THERE'S A 'BOMBSHELL IN TRUMPS TAXES'. WHEN PEOPLE DECIDE THEY DON'T WANT TO GIVE YOU THEIR TAXES, IT'S USUALLY BECAUSE THERE'S SOMETHING THEY DON'T WANT YOU TO SEE. TRUMP WENT ON THE ATTACK. THE BILLIONAIRE TWEETED ` WELL, HELLO, LADIES OF ALPHA KAPPA ALPHA! FEWER FIREWORKS ON THE DEMOCRATIC SIDE. HILLARY CLINTON MADE HER CASE WITH THE SISTERS OF AKA, AHEAD OF SATURDAY'S SOUTH CAROLINA PRIMARY. BERNIE SANDERS, WHO IS STRUGGLING WITH BLACK VOTERS THERE, MOVED ON TO SUPER TUESDAY STATES, DRAWING 9,000 PEOPLE TO HIS RALLY IN TULSA, OKLAHOMA. AND STILL IN THE US, WHERE OCCUPIERS HAVE TAKEN OVER A DOCK IN THE STATE OF OREGON, CAUSING THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS OF DAMAGE IN THEIR QUEST FOR FISH. DOZENS OF SEA LIONS SWAMPED THE PUBLIC DOCK, QUICKLY BECOMING A LOCAL ATTRACTION. A RESURGENCE OF SMALL FISH BROUGHT THE MARINE MAMMALS TO THE DOCKS ON THE COLUMBIA RIVER. THE TOWN'S MAYOR SAYS WHILE IT MAY BE A FUN SIGHT TO SEE, THE ANIMALS HAVE ALREADY DONE SOME $35,000 WORTH OF DAMAGE TO THE DOCK. TO SPORT ` AND MANCHESTER UNITED HAVE TURNED THINGS AROUND TO NOTCH UP AN EMPHATIC VICTORY TODAY AGAINST DANISH SIDE MIDTJYLLAND AND ADVANCING INTO THE LAST 16 IN THE EUROPA LEAGUE. MAN U DEBUTANT MARCUS RASHFORD STARRING IN HIS SIDE'S 5-1 VICTORY, SCORING TWO GOALS. THE 18-YEAR-OLD A LAST-MINUTE CALL UP WITH STRIKER ANTHONY MARTIAL RULED OUT WITH INJURY; UNITED WINING THE TIE 6-3. LIVERPOOL ALSO PROGRESSING WITH A 1-0 AGGREGATE WIN OVER FC AUGSBURG. TO SUPER RUGBY ` AND THE BLUES ENTER A BOLD NEW ERA TONIGHT WHEN THEY HOST THE HIGHLANDERS IN THE COMPETITION OPENER AT EDEN PARK. AFTER YEARS OF DISAPPOINTMENT, TANA UMAGA'S MEN HAVE ROMPED THROUGH PRE-SEASON, WINNING THREE ON THE TROT. BUT IT WILL ALL COUNT FOR NOTHING IF THEY DON'T GET IT DONE TONIGHT? AS WE'VE SAID ALL ALONG, THE PRE-SEASON IS JUST THAT. THIS IS WHERE IT REALLY COUNTS, AND JUDGING BY THE AMOUNT OF INTEREST THAT WE'VE GOT HERE TODAY, EVERYONE'S JUST BEEN WAITING FOR THIS GAME. ACCORDING TO BOOKMAKERS, THE BLUES REMAIN FAVOURED TO TAKE OUT THE WOODEN SPOON IN THE NZ CONFERANCE. TO CRICKET, AND THE AUSTRALIAN TEAM HAVE LEFT OUR SHORES, BUT NOT BEFORE ONE LAST PARTING SHOT TO KIWI CROWDS. AUSSIE VICE CAPTAIN DAVID WARNER ARRIVING BACK IN SYDNEY AND SAYING THAT THE ABUSE WAS WIDESPREAD AT EVERY NZ VENUE. YOU GET BANTER HERE. I think some of the boys raised the issue. It just wasn't necessary. They call you names. You have to bite your tongue. AUSTRALIA AREN'T AT HOME FOR LONG. THEY TAKE OFF FOR A TOUR OF SOUTH AFRICA NEXT WEEK. RUGBY LEAGUE NOW ` AND THE NRL SEASON WILL KICK OFF NEXT WEEK IN EARNEST, THE COMPETITION KEEN TO LET THE TALKING HAPPEN ON THE FIELD. THE ABC'S JENNIFER BROWNING REPORTS. THERE WEREN'T THE USUAL BELLS AND WHISTLES AT THIS YEAR'S NRL SEASON LAUNCH. TODAY, WE'RE DEPARTING FROM A NUMBER OF LONG-HELD TRADITIONS. WE'VE HEARD OUR STAKEHOLDERS, WE'VE HEARD OUR FANS, AND WE'RE CHANGING. GONE ARE THE DAYS OF THE ROCK-STAR DRIVEN ADVERTISING CAMPAIGNS. # YOU'RE SIMPLY THE BEST! # INSTEAD, THE NRL'S NEW STRATEGY ENCOURAGES FANS TO GET OUT TO THE GAMES, TO CAPTURE MOMENTS OF HISTORY AS THEY HAPPEN. IT'S REALLY ABOUT GETTING PEOPLE PART OF THE GAME AT A REALLY INTIMATE LEVEL. IT'S GREAT THAT WE CAN GO BACK TO THE ROOTS OF RUGBY LEAGUE, AND I THINK IT'S A GREAT CAMPAIGN, 'WHEN THE HISTORY HAPPENS'. WHILE THERE WERE PLENTY OF RUGBY LEAGUE HEAVYWEIGHTS AT THE LAUNCH, THE GAME IS STILL WITHOUT A CEO. DAVE SMITH QUIT IN OCTOBER, BUT A NEW BOSS IS SET TO BE UNVEILED NEXT MONTH. WE WERE NEVER GONNA TRY AND ACCELERATE THIS FOR THE SAKE OF ACCELERATING IT. WE WERE ALWAYS GONNA BE IN THE POSITION WHERE A NEW CEO WOULD BE COMING IN AT SOME STAGE DURING THE SEASON, SO THAT'S WHERE WE ARE, AND THAT'S OK. THE BRONCOS ARE THE CURRENT FAVOURITES TO WIN THIS YEAR'S PREMIERSHIP. VALERIE ADAMS HAS MADE A SUCCESSFUL RETURN TO COMPETITION AFTER SIX MONTHS OFF RECOVERING FROM SURGERY. ADAMS CLAIMED THE WOMEN'S SHOT-PUT TITLE AT THE AUCKLAND TRACK CHALLENGE LAST NIGHT, HER BEST THROW 18.85 METRES. WHILE IT'S MORE THAN 2M OFF HER BEST, JUST BEING OUT THERE IS AN ACHIEVEMENT FOR THE 31-YEAR-OLD. AFTER MY SURGERIES AND EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENED IN 2015, THE BEST THING I CAN TAKE AWAY FROM TODAY IS ACTUALLY THROWING FURTHER THAN I HAVE IN THE PAST 15 MONTHS. SO ALL WE CAN DO IS WORK ON THAT NOW. MEANWHILE, TOM WALSH RECLAIMED THE NZ RESIDENTS' SHOT-PUT RECORD WITH A WINNING THROW OF 20.91 METRES. FINALLY IN SPORT, THE AFGHAN BOY WHO BECAME FAMOUS ON THE INTERNET AFTER PHOTOS OF HIM WEARING AN IMPROVISED LIONEL MESSI SHIRT MADE FROM A PLASTIC BAG SURFACED FINALLY HAS THE REAL THING. MURTAZA AHMADI NOW PROUDLY WEARS A SHIRT DONATED BY THE FOOTBALL STAR HIMSELF. THE BARCELONA PLAYER ALSO SIGNED THE SHIRT FOR THE 5-YEAR-OLD. THE AFGHAN FOOTBALL FEDERATION PLANS TO SET UP A MEETING BETWEEN AHMADI AND HIS HERO. STILL TO COME ON MIDDAY ` I'LL BE BACK WITH THE AFTERNOON WEATHER. AND STEAM LOCOMOTIVE FANS THRILL AT THE RETURN OF GREAT OLD ENGINE. YOUR WEATHER'S NEXT, BUT FIRST, LET'S LOOK AT OUR TOP STORIES. A DECISION ON WHETHER THE RENA SHIPWRECK WILL BE REMOVED FROM THE ASTROLABE REEF OR NOT IS DUE IN ABOUT TWO HOURS. A BAY OF PLENTY IWI IS KEEN TO SEE THE SEABED PROTECTED REGARDLESS OF THE DECISION. AND A REPORT OUT TODAY HAS FOUND THAT AN ATMOSPHERE OF FEAR AT THE BBC ALLOWED ENTERTAINER JIMMY SAVILE TO ABUSE CHILDREN FOR FIVE DECADES BEFORE HE WAS CHALLENGED. NOW TO THE WEATHER, AND A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESURE IS STILL IN CONTROL. FOR WEATHER, SEE ONENEWS.CO.NZ THE FLYING SCOTSMAN, ONE OF THE WORLD'S MOST FAMOUS STEAM LOCOMOTIVES, HAS MADE ITS HISTORIC RETURN TO THE TRACKS. THOUSANDS TURNED OUT TO WATCH ITS JOURNEY FROM LONDON'S KINGS CROSS TO YORK, FOLLOWING A DECADE-LONG, $8M RESTORATION. THE BBC'S RICHARD WESTCOTT WAS ONBOARD. IT'S NOT A LOCOMOTIVE, IT'S A CELEBRITY. FLYING SCOTSMAN, BACK CENTRE-STAGE ON ITS OLD STOMPING GROUND, EATING UP THE MILES. FOR THE CREW, IT'S A TOUGH, FILTHY, REWARDING JOB. THIS VERY CRAMPED PASSAGE IS JUST ONE OF THE THINGS THAT MAKES FLYING SCOTSMAN UNIQUE IN THE WORLD. IT MEANT THAT DRIVERS COULD CHANGE OVER WHILST THE TRAIN WAS STILL MOVING, AND THAT MADE THIS THE FIRST SERVICE THAT WENT FROM LONDON TO SCOTLAND NON-STOP. THIS ENGINE HAS HAD ALL THE UPS AND DOWNS OF A CELEBRITY'S LIFE. TAKEN OUT OF SERVICE IN THE 1960S, THEN SHIPPED OFF TO THE UNITED STATES; SHIPPED OFF TO AUSTRALIA; BANKRUPTCIES; IT'S BEEN IN A WORKSHOP FOR YEARS. I THINK MANY PEOPLE BELIEVED THAT IT WOULD NEVER AGAIN RUN ON THESE TRACKS. MAN: MAJESTICALLY, THE BEAUTIFUL ENGINE EASED OUT OF... FLYING SCOTSMAN'S ALWAYS MADE HEADLINES. IT WAS THE FIRST TRAIN OFFICIALLY CLOCKED AT 100M/H. TODAY THE ONLY DELAYS WERE DOWN TO TRAINSPOTTERS ON THE LINE. BUT ITS BIRTHPLACE IN DONCASTER CAN STILL PULL THE CROWDS. JOURNEYS END IN YORK AND THE CREW ARE STARS FOR THE DAY. THE ATTENTION WAS BRILLIANT, THE ENTHUSIASM. IT'S BRILLIANT TO SEE EVERYONE OUTSIDE, YOU KNOW. IT'S GREAT TO SEE THAT EVERYBODY'S SUPPORTING THE ENGINE. AFTER A DECADE OUT OF THE LIMELIGHT, FLYING SCOTSMAN'S GOING TO BE TOURING AGAIN SO THOUSANDS MORE CAN REVEL IN THIS SIGHT. THANKS FOR JOINING US. THE ONE NEWS HOUR WILL BE HERE AT SIX. GOOD AFTERNOON. CAPTIONS BY JAKE EBDALE AND PHILIP MCKIBBIN. CAPTIONS WERE MADE POSSIBLE WITH FUNDING FROM NZ ON AIR. COPYRIGHT ABLE 2016
