IT'S MIDDAY. HE'S TALKING SMALL-BUSINESS TAX IN WELLINGTON. BUT IT'S HIS OWN TAX AFFAIRS THAT ARE PUTTING THE PRIME MINISTER UNDER THE SPOTLIGHT IN THE CAPITAL. NEW RESEARCH SUGGESTS PACIFIC ISLAND CANOEISTS MIGHT BE TO BLAME FOR BRAZIL'S ZIKA EPIDEMIC. AND A THUMBNAIL-SIZED SPACECRAFT IS ON COURSE FOR A PIONEERING INTERGALACTIC MISSION. DUE TO THE LIVE NATURE OF MIDDAY, WE APOLOGISE FOR THE LACK OF CAPTIONS FOR SOME ITEMS. KIA ORA. GOOD AFTERNOON. THE PRIME MINISTER'S LUNCHING WITH A BUSINESS AUDIENCE IN WELLINGTON RIGHT NOW AND IS SET TO SIGNAL SOME TAX CHANGES IN A PRE-BUDGET SPEECH. BUT IT'S MR KEY'S OWN TAX ARRANGEMENTS THAT ARE LIKELY TO DOMINATE QUESTIONS PUT TO HIM THIS AFTERNOON IN PARLIAMENT. POLITICAL EDITOR CORIN DANN IS THERE. YES, JOHN KEY GIVING A SPEECH TO A BUSINESS AUDIENCE HERE IN WELLINGTON SHORTLY. IT'S THE FIRST OF THE PRE-BUDGET ANNOUNCEMENTS, IF YOU LIKE, FOR THIS GOVERNMENT THIS YEAR. IT'S GONNA FOCUS ON THE ISSUE OF BUSINESS TAXATION, IN PARTICULAR ` MAKING IT SIMPLER FOR BUSINESSES TO PAY THEIR TAX. IT'S LONG BEEN A BUGBEAR OF MANY BUSINESSES IN NZ, AND IT'S POSSIBLE IT MAY LOOK AT THINGS SUCH A PROVISIONAL TAX. NOW, OF COURSE, THERE WILL BE MORE QUESTIONS FOR JOHN KEY LATER THIS AFTERNOON AFTER THE REVELATION YESTERDAY FROM HIS PERCUNIARY INTEREST REGISTER WHICH LOOKS AT MPS INTERESTS AFTER THAT REVEALED HE DID HAVE A SHORT-TERM DEPOSIT WITH A LAW FIRM THAT DOES SPECIALISE IN THE PROVISION OF THOSE FOREIGN TRUSTS, SO EXPECT MORE QUESTIONS IN PARLIAMENT ON THAT ISSUE AND PERHAPS MORE CALLS TOO FOR A WIDER INQUIRY INTO THE ISSUE OF TRUSTS IN GENERAL. WHILE JOHN KEY IS REJECTING CALLS FOR A WIDER INQUIRY INTO NZ'S TRUST BUSINESS FOR FOREIGNERS, TAX OFFICIALS FROM DOZENS OF OTHER COUNTRIES WILL TAKE PART IN A GLOBAL INQUIRY. SENIOR TAX INVESTIGATORS FROM 28 COUNTRIES WILL MEET TOMORROW IN PARIS TO DEVELOP A STRATEGY FOR CRACKING DOWN ON SECRET OFFSHORE HOLDINGS AND OFFENDERS. THE HASTILY ARRANGED MEETING WILL BE CHAIRED BY THE HEAD OF AUSTRALIA'S INTERNATIONAL TAX OFFICE. THE CURRENT OUTBREAK OF THE ZIKA VIRUS IN SOUTH AMERICA MAY HAVE BEEN INTRODUCED BY CANOE CREWS FROM THE PACIFIC. A STUDY BY BRAZILIAN AND GERMAN SCIENTISTS SUGGESTS THE VIRUS COULD HAVE HITCHHIKED TO BRAZIL WITH CANOE COMPETITORS COMING FROM FOUR PACIFIC COUNTRIES, INCLUDING THE COOK ISLANDS AND NEW CALEDONIA. NAOMI TAN REPORTS. THESE ARE THE IMAGES THAT HAVE PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD WORRIED ` CHILDREN BORN WITH MICROCEPHALY, BELIEVED TO BE LINKED TO THE RAMPANT SPREAD OF THE ZIKA VIRUS IN SOUTH AMERICA. NOW A NEW THEORY SUGGESTS THE DISEASE MAY HAVE COME FROM THE PACIFIC ISLANDS, THROUGH TEAMS OF CANOEISTS COMPETING IN RIO TWO YEARS AGO. THE STRAIN OF VIRUS THAT IS PLAGUING BRAZIL IS THE SAME STRAIN AS THE ONE FOUND IN ASIA AND THE PACIFIC, AND IT DOES FIT WITH THE TIMING OF THIS SPORTING EVENT. BUT PROFESSOR BAKER SAYS THE THEORY IS SPECULATIVE, AND OTHERS AGREE. PROFESSOR PHILIP HILL FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF OTAGO SAYS THE RESEARCHERS HADN'T OBTAINED A GENETIC FINGERPRINT MATCH FOR THE VIRUS IN ANY PACIFIC COUNTRY, AND THE OUTBREAK COULD EASILY HAVE STARTED OFF IN ASIA AND OTHER PARTS OF BRAZIL. THE SPREAD OF THE VIRUS IN AMERICA IS BEING DESCRIBED AS 'SCARIER THAN ONCE THOUGHT', WITH CONCERN IT MAY CAUSE A WIDER RANGE OF BRAIN DISORDERS. WE HAVE LEARNED THAT THE VIRUS IS LINKED TO A BROADER SET OF COMPLICATIONS IN PREGNANCY, NOT JUST THE MICROCEPHALY, BUT ALSO PREMATURITY, EYE PROBLEMS AND SOME OTHER CONDITIONS. MEANWHILE, IF YOU'RE PLANNING ON TRAVELLING TO THE TROPICS, THE MESSAGE REMAINS THE SAME. THE STANDARD ADVICE, REALLY, IS TO WEAR LONG, LOOSE CLOTHING, APPLY INSECT REPELLENT AND STAY IN ACCOMMODATION THAT'S SCREENED OR AIR CONDITIONED, WHERE THE RISK OF INFECTION IS LESS. BRAZIL CONTINUES TO BATTLE AGAINST THE OUTBREAK, HOPING TO SHINE ON THE WORLD'S LARGEST SPORTING STAGE, BUT THE ZIKA CLOUD STILL LOOMS OVER ITS GAMES. NAOMI TAN, ONE NEWS. THERE'S BEEN ANOTHER SERIOUS DOG ATTACK, THIS TIME ON A PREGNANT CHRISTCHURCH WOMAN. JUST AFTER 8 O'CLOCK LAST NIGHT, ST JOHN WERE CALLED TO AN AVONDALE PROPERTY AFTER A WOMAN (23) HAD BEEN SET UPON BY A PAIR OF PIT BULL TERRIERS. THE WOMAN IS THOUGHT TO BE 30 WEEKS PREGNANT. SHE RECEIVED INJURIES TO HER ARMS AND LEGS AND REMAINS IN A STABLE CONDITION IN CHRISTCHURCH HOSPITAL. AND ALSO IN CHRISTCHURCH ` NAME SUPPRESSION HAS LAPSED FOR A PROPERTY MANAGER FACING A POLICE INVESTIGATION AFTER HIS TENANT WAS KILLED BY FALLING MASONRY IN THE FEBRUARY 2011 QUAKE. CHRISTOPHER CHAPMAN IS ACCUSED OF FAILING TO TELL TENANTS THEIR BUILDING WAS STRUCTURALLY UNSAFE AFTER THE 2010 EARTHQUAKES. SOUTHERN INK TATTOOIST MATTHEW MCEACHEN SUBSEQUENTLY DIED AT THE BUILDING. WELLINGTON CITY COUNCILLORS ARE LOCKED IN DEBATE TODAY OVER HOW TO TACKLE THE CAPITAL'S BEGGING PROBLEM. A REPORT'S REVEALED BEGGARS ARE FLOCKING TO WELLINGTON TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF LOCALS' GENEROSITY. IT RECOMMENDED BANNING BEGGING FROM THE CITY CENTRE OR ISSUING PERMITS FOR BEGGARS. BUT THE COUNCIL'S LIKELY TO ADOPT A SOFTER APPROACH, WORKING WITH GOVERNMENT AND SOCIAL AGENCIES TO GET BEGGARS OFF THE STREETS. WE CAN NOW SHOW YOU THE MAN ACCUSED OF MURDERING AND SEXUALLY VIOLATING A WOMAN (69) IN HER WEST AUCKLAND HOME IN JANUARY. JADEN LEE STROOBANT (20) APPEARED IN THE HIGH COURT AT AUCKLAND THIS MORNING, WHERE JUSTICE LANG DISCONTINUED SUPPRESSION OF HIS IMAGE. HE PLEADED NOT GUILTY TO ONE CHARGE OF MURDER AND TWO CHARGES OF SEXUAL VIOLATION. CUN XIU TIAN WAS KILLED IN HER TE ATATU HOME. HER FAMILY DISCOVERED HER BODY AFTER THEY RETURNED FROM WORK. STROOBANT WAS ARRESTED FIVE DAYS LATER. HE WILL STAND TRIAL IN NOVEMBER. AND A MAN WHO TOOK A 64-YEAR-OLD MAN HOSTAGE LAST MONTH, LEADING POLICE ON A CHASE THAT STRETCHED MORE THAN 100KM, HAS PLEADED NOT GUILTY TO ALL CHARGES AT NORTH SHORE DISTRICT COURT. THE 27-YEAR-OLD FACES 10 CHARGES, INCLUDING AGGRAVATED BURGLARY, THREATENING TO KILL, POSSESSION OF METHAMPHETAMINE AND POSSESSING A FIREARM. OVERSEAS NOW, AND ENTERTAINER, PRODUCER AND REALITY TV STAR DAVID GEST HAS DIED IN A LONDON HOTEL AGED 62. GEST, WHO IS PERHAPS BEST KNOWN HERE FOR BEING THE ESTRANGED HUSBAND OF SINGER LIZA MINNELLI, HAD BEEN DUE TO TOUR THE UK IN JULY IN A SHOW CALLED 'DAVID GEST IS NOT DEAD BUT ALIVE WITH SOUL'. A CHILDHOOD FRIEND OF MICHAEL JACKSON, ONE OF HIS BIGGEST SUCCESSES WAS PRODUCING JACKSON'S 30TH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION ` THE HIGHEST-RATED MUSIC SPECIAL IN US HISTORY. TO THE RACE FOR THE WHITE HOUSE. AND THE SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE, PAUL RYAN, HAS QUASHED RUMOURS HE'LL RUN FOR PRESIDENT IF THE REPUBLICANS END UP WITH A CONTESTED CONVENTION. IT COMES AS REPUBLICAN FRONTRUNNER DONALD TRUMP LAUNCHED A FRESH ATTACK ON HIS DEMOCRATIC RIVAL HILLARY CLINTON. THE ABC'S JONATHAN KARL HAS MORE. FROM DONALD TRUMP, A SWEEPING NEW LINE OF ATTACK AGAINST HILLARY CLINTON. REMEMBER THIS ` HER WHOLE LIFE HAS BEEN ONE BIG LIE. IT'S BEEN ONE BIG LIE. A BIG, FAT, BEAUTIFUL LIE. IT'S BEEN A TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE LIE. YOU LOOK AT SO MUCH OF WHAT'S GOING ON, AND NOW YOU LOOK AT THE EMAIL SITUATION. HER LIFE IS A BIG LIE, AND PEOPLE KNOW IT. DID YOU THINK THAT BACK WHEN YOU`? I MEAN, YOU POSTED PHOTOS WITH HER, YOU HAD HER AT YOUR WEDDING` I GET ALONG WITH EVERYBODY. WHEN I WAS A BUSINESSMAN, I GOT ALONG WITH EVERYBODY, JON. I WAS VERY PROUD OF THE FACT I COULD GET ALONG WITH ANYBODY. MRS CLINTON ALSO SEEMS TO BE GEARING UP FOR A CLINTON VS TRUMP GENERAL ELECTION. HER LATEST AD AIMED AT TRUMP, NOT BERNIE SANDERS. MAN: WITH SO MUCH AT STAKE, SHE'S THE ONE TOUGH ENOUGH TO STOP TRUMP. TRUMP STILL NEEDS TO GET PAST TED CRUZ, AND NOW HE'S ACCUSING THE REPUBLICAN PARTY OF LETTING CRUZ TRY TO STEAL THE NOMINATION. NO, IT'S A RIGGED SYSTEM. YOU'RE NOT A PROFESSIONAL POLITICIAN. WE JUST DON'T` NO, I'M NOT. NO, I'M NOT. NO, I WAS READY FOR A DEMOCRATIC RACE, MEANING, YOU KNOW, DEMOCRACY. AND THIS IS NOT DEMOCRACY. CRUZ TODAY MOCKED TRUMP'S COMPLAINTS, COMPARING HIM TO A MOBSTER. ONE PERSON TRUMP WON'T BE FACING AT THE CONVENTION IN CLEVELAND IS HOUSE SPEAKER PAUL RYAN, WHO SPARKED SPECULATION WITH THIS SLICK VIDEO LAST WEEK THAT HE COULD EMERGE AS THE REPUBLICAN NOMINEE. TODAY HE CALLED A PRESS CONFERENCE TO SAY 'NO WAY'. TO BE THE PRESIDENT, YOU SHOULD ACTUALLY RUN FOR IT. I CHOSE NOT TO DO THIS. THEREFORE, I SHOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED, PERIOD, END OF STORY. A GERMAN TV COMIC HAS BEEN PLACED UNDER POLICE PROTECTION AFTER HE READ AN OBSCENE POEM ABOUT THE TURKISH PRESIDENT. PRESIDENT ERDOGAN HAS FILED A CRIMINAL COMPLAINT AGAINST THE SATIRIST IN A CASE THAT HAS PROMPTED A DEBATE IN GERMANY OVER FREEDOM OF SPEECH. HE AND HIS FAMILY HAVE APPARENTLY FACED THREATS FROM MR ERDOGAN'S SUPPORTERS, THE POEM MADE REFERENCES TO SEX WITH GOATS AND SHEEP AND THE REPRESSION OF TURKISH MINORITIES. THE DUKE AND DUCHESS OF CAMBRIDGE HAVE VISITED A CHARITY WORKING WITH STREET CHILDREN IN INDIA ON THE THIRD DAY OF THEIR SOUTH ASIA TOUR. THE BBC'S NICHOLAS WITCHELL HAS MORE. MY NAME'S WILLIAM. WILLIAM. AND MY NAME'S CATHERINE. VERY NICE TO MEET ALL OF YOU. THEY HAD COME TO SEE SOME OF INDIA'S MOST VULNERABLE ` THE STREET CHILDREN. IN DELHI ALONE, THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF THEM. CHILDREN WHO'VE RUN AWAY FROM HOME OR BEEN ABANDONED, AT RISK OF ABUSE AND EXPLOITATION. IS IT DANGEROUS FOR THEM IN THE RAILWAY STATION? < YES. CAN YOU ASK THEM WHAT DO THEY HOPE FOR? WHAT ARE SOME OF THEIR DREAMS? (SPEAKS INDIAN LANGUAGE) HE WANTS TO BECOME A POLICEMAN. THEY MET DOCTORS AND PSYCHIATRISTS WHO TREAT THE CHILDREN. MENTAL HEALTH AMONG YOUNG PEOPLE IS AN ISSUE THE COUPLE ARE KEEN TO HIGHLIGHT. SO FROM WILLIAM, A QUESTION ` WHAT CAN PEOPLE LIKE US DO TO HELP, IN YOUR EYES? SPREAD THE WORD ABOUT STREET CHILDREN. THAT THEY HAVE A RIGHT TO BEING IN A SAFE SPACE. THE COUPLE JOINED SOME OF THE CHILDREN IN A HOSTEL RUN BY A CHARITY. KATE SAT CROSS-LEGGED ON THE GROUND AND DID SOME SKETCHING. THE THING THAT MANY OF THE CHILDREN DREW WAS A HOUSE, THE THING THAT NONE OF THEM HAS. THAT'S WHAT KATE DREW TOO. A RATHER ENGLISH HOME COUNTIES SORT OF HOUSE. WHETHER YOU'RE A DUCHESS OR A STREET KID, IT SEEMS THE INSTINCT IS MUCH THE SAME. IT WAS TIME TO GO. LAUGHTER WE'RE ALWAYS LATE. WILLIAM AND CATHERINE HAD AN APPOINTMENT TO SEE INDIA'S PRIME MINISTER. FROM THE POWERLESS TO THE POWERFUL, THEIR JOURNEY THROUGH INDIA'S EXTREMES CONTINUES. AND WILLS AND KATE JUST MIGHT WANT TO HEED THE ADVICE OF ONE OF THE UK'S FAVOURITE NEWSPAPERS WHEN IT COMES TO WHERE TO HOLIDAY NEXT. THE DAILY TELEGRAPH'S READERSHIP HAS VOTED NZ TO BE THE BEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD FOR THE FOURTH CONSECUTIVE YEAR. AMONG THE REASONS THE 75,000 VOTERS PICKED THIS COUNTRY WERE THE ALL BLACKS, THE SCENERY AND, AHEM, ITS TIES TO BRITAIN. STILL TO COME ON MIDDAY ` THE SECRETS OF SOLAR SYSTEMS TRILLIONS OF KILOMETRES AWAY COULD BE UNVEILED WITHIN A GENERATION, THANKS TO A SPACECRAFT THE SIZE OF A THUMBNAIL. AND IN SPORT ` A HUGE DAY FOR MANCHESTER CITY IN THE EUROPEAN CHAMPIONS LEAGUE. SCIENTISTS HAVE ALREADY SENT SATELLITES BILLIONS OF KILOMETRES INTO DEEP SPACE. BUT NOW THERE'S A NEW PROJECT THAT COULD SEE SPACECRAFT THE SIZE OF A THUMBNAIL TRAVELLING TO ANOTHER STAR WITHIN A GENERATION. THE INTERSTELLAR MISSION FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS, PEOPLE HAVE DREAMT OF ONE DAY TRAVELLING TO DISTANT STARS. THE WORLD'S MOST FAMOUS SCIENTIST, STEPHEN HAWKING, THINKS THAT THAT DAY WILL COME VERY SOON. COMPUTER: THERE ARE NO GREATER HEIGHTS TO ASPIRE TO THAN THE STARS. TECHNOLOGICAL DEVELOPMENTS IN THE LAST TWO DECADES AND IN THE FUTURE MAKE IT, IN PRINCIPLE, POSSIBLE WITHIN A GENERATION. ALREADY A PROBE HAS BEEN SENT TO PLUTO. THAT'S 7� BILLION MILES AWAY. AND VOYAGER 1 HAS REACHED THE EDGE OF OUR SOLAR SYSTEM. THAT'S 18 BILLION MILES AWAY. THE PLAN IS TO SEND SPACECRAFT TO A STAR IN ANOTHER SOLAR SYSTEM. THAT'S A STAGGERING 25 TRILLION MILES FROM EARTH. USING CURRENT TECHNOLOGY, IT WOULD TAKE A SPACECRAFT 30,000 YEARS TO GET TO OUR CLOSEST STAR, BUT BY MAKING THEM SMALLER, IT COULD TAKE JUST 30. IN THE 1980S, THIS MICROSATELLITE WAS USED FOR EARTH OBSERVATION. IN THE 1990S, THIS NANOSATELLITE WAS LAUNCHED FOR COMMUNICATIONS. THE ULTIMATE AIM OF THE NEW RESEARCH PROGRAMME IS TO MAKE THEM EVEN SMALLER ` TO CRAM ALL THE CAMERAS AND INSTRUMENTS YOU HAVE IN THESE ON TO A SINGLE CHIP. The idea is to launch this into the Earth orbits. IF WE ARE TO SURVIVE AS A SPECIES, WE MUST ULTIMATELY SPREAD TO THE STARS. THERE'S STILL A LOT OF WORK NEEDED TO DEVELOP THE TECHNOLOGY. Although it will be difficult, IT won't be impossible. WHAT WAS ONCE A DISTANT DREAM COULD VERY SOON BECOME REALITY. FROM STARS IN THE SKY TO STARS IN THE MUSIC WORLD NOW, AND ONE OF THE WORLD'S MOST FAMOUS ROCK EPICS, STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN, IS THE SUBJECT OF A NEW LEGAL BATTLE STRETCHING BACK 45 YEARS. ABC'S ANNE BARKER HAS MORE. 'STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN' PLAYS THEY'RE THE FAMOUS OPENING NOTES TO 'STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN', AND NOW THEY'RE FAMOUS ALL OVER AGAIN. SONGWRITERS ROBERT PLANT AND JIMMY PAGE AREA ACCUSED OF STEALING THEM FROM ANOTHER SONG, 'TAURUS', RELEASED BY THE BAND SPIRIT IN 1968. SPIRIT'S 'TAURUS' A US JUDGE SAYS THERE'S ENOUGH EVIDENCE TO SEND THE PAIR TO TRIAL. LED ZEPPELIN PERFORMED ALONGSIDE SPIRIT THAT SAME YEAR. SPIRIT SONGWRITER RANDY WOLF IS LONG DEAD, BUT HIS TRUSTEE HAS BROUGHT A LAWSUIT, CLAIMING PAGE AND PLANT STOLE THE NOTES WITHOUT GIVING CREDIT TO WOLF. BUT NOT ALL EXPERTS AGREE. ALL ART IS BASED ON RECYCLING IDEAS. IT'S A CONVERSATION BETWEEN ARTISTS AND BETWEEN THE PUBLIC, AND SO THAT'S JUST PART OF IT. IT'S NOT THE FIRST TIME LED ZEPPELIN HAS BEEN SUED FOR STEALING MUSIC. THEY HAVE TAKEN OLD BLUES SONGS, REWORKED THEM AND TURNED THEM INTO NEW THINGS. PLANT AND PAGE CLAIM IN THEIR DEFENCE RANDY WOLF WAS A SONGWRITER FOR HIRE WHO HAD NO COPYRIGHT CLAIM AND THAT HIS MELODY WAS SO CLICHED IT DIDN'T DESERVE COPYRIGHT PROTECTION. NOW A JURY WILL DECIDE WHEN THEY FACE THE MUSIC NEXT MONTH IN COURT. TO MIDDAY SPORT ` AND A MAJOR COUP FOR ORGANISERS OF MAY'S BIG HEAVYWEIGHT BOXING BOUT BETWEEN KIWI JOSEPH PARKER AND FRENCHMAN CARLOS TAKAM. FORMER WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION LARRY HOLMES HAS AGREED TO COME TO AUCKLAND TO WATCH PARKER FIGHT. I'd like to come to see Josef Parker because he would probably be similar to me. HOLMES HELD WORLD TITLES BETWEEN 1978 AND 1985. HE WAS ONLY ONE OF FIVE MEN TO BEAT MUHAMMAD ALI, DEFENDING HIS TITLE AGAINST AN AGING ALI IN 1980. HE'S OFTEN REGARDED AS HAVING THE BEST LEFT-HAND JAB IN BOXING HISTORY. THE 66-YEAR-OLD HAS RATED JOSEPH PARKER IN THE PAST AS A TITLE CONTENDER. TO EUROPEAN FOOTBALL, AND REAL MADRID HAVE COMPLETED A REMARKABLE COMEBACK AGAINST WOLFSBURG TO MAKE THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE SEMI-FINALS FOR A SIXTH SUCCESSIVE TIME. FACING A 2-0 DEFICIT FROM THE FIRST LEG, STEP UP CRISTIANO RONALDO. WHO ELSE? IT'S TO THE FAR POST! AND RONALDO APPROACHES! BRILLIANT DEFENDING. HE'S DROPPED IN TO THE NEAR POST NOW, VIEIRINHA COMES` RONALDO WITH A HEADER! THAT'S TWO! THE SCORE IS LEVEL! IT'S THE MIRACULOUS RONALDO! A HAT-TRICK! YES, THAT'S RONALDO'S SIXTH HAT-TRICK OF THE SEASON. JOINING REAL MADRID IN THE SEMI-FINALS IS ENGLISH CLUB MANCHESTER CITY, WHO OVERCAME SERGIO AGUERO'S MISSED PENALTY TO STRIKE THE DECISIVE BLOW WITH 15 MINUTES TO GO. DE BRUYNE AGAIN. TRIES TO WHIP IT IN AND DOES! CROWD ROAR SUPERBLY DONE BY KEVIN DE BRUYNE, TAKING MANCHESTER CITY A GIANT STEP TOWARDS THE SEMI-FINALS OF THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE. CITY THROUGH TO THE FINAL FOUR FOR THE FIRST TIME, 3-2 ON AGGREGATE. SOUTH AFRICA RUGBY'S WORST-KEPT SECRET HAS FINALLY BEEN CONFIRMED. LONG-TIME STORMERS COACH ALLISTER COETZEE HAS BEEN NAMED THE NEW COACH OF THE SPRINGBOKS, REPLACING HEYNEKE MEYER, WHO RESIGNED AFTER BEING KNOCKED OUT OF THE WORLD CUP SEMI-FINALS BY THE ALL BLACKS. LIKE I SAY, WE DO RESPECT THE ALL BLACKS, AND IT'S ALWAYS GREAT TO HAVE A CONTEST AGAINST THEM. AND WHEN` YOU KNOW, WE'LL CROSS THAT BRIDGE WHEN WE GET TO IT. COETZEE HAS BEEN CRITICISED FOR BEING A DEFENSIVE-MINDED COACH. BUT HE WILL BE CONFIDENT OF BETTERING MEYER'S RECORD AGAINST THE ALL BLACKS ` THE FORMER COACH WON JUST ONE OF EIGHT TESTS IN HIS FOUR-YEAR REIGN. THEY MAY HAVE LOST THE BATTLE, BUT THE BLACK STICKS MEN'S HOCKEY TEAM HAVE SHOWN GREAT SPORTSMANSHIP AGAINST AUSTRALIA AT THE SULTAN AZLAN SHAH CUP IN MALAYSIA. IN BLISTERING 36-DEGREE HEAT, THE BLACK STICKS LOOKED TO HAVE TAKEN THE LEAD AGAINST THE WORLD'S NUMBER ONE RANKED TEAM. BUT NZ CAPTAIN SIMON CHILD RULED THE GOAL OUT, SAYING IT WASN'T IN THE SPIRIT OF THE GAME. AS WILSON... SCORES. I MEAN, IT IS A ALLOWED A GOAL, ACTUALLY. THIS HAS BEEN DISALLOWED. SIMON CHILD, I CAN TELL YOU, HAS SAID, 'LISTEN, UMPIRE, WE DON'T WANT TO ACCEPT THIS.' HE WENT OVER, SIMON CHILD, AND HAD A WORD WITH THE UMPIRE. AND THAT'S THE CLOSEST NZ WOULD GET. AUSTRALIAN VETERAN JAMIE DWYER SCORING THE ONLY GOAL IN THE 1-0 WIN. THE BLACK STICKS NOW FACE A MUST-WIN MATCH AGAINST INDIA TONIGHT. TO CRICKET, AND THE STARS OF THE ROYAL CHALLENGERS BANGALORE HAVE FLEXED THEIR CONSIDERABLE MUSCLE IN CRICKET'S INDIAN PREMIER LEAGUE. THE SUNRISERS OF HYDERABAD CLAIMED THE BIG EARLY WICKET OF CHRIS GAYLE, BUT THAT ONLY BROUGHT AB DE VILLIERS TO THE CREASE. THE SOUTH AFRICAN MASTER BLASTER CRUSHED 82 OFF 42 BALLS. BATS AWAY! THIS IS EVEN BIGGER! CROWD ROAR HITS THE ROOF OF THE STADIUM! OH, HE'S GONE FOR THE SIGHT SCREEN. AND IT'S GONE BEYOND THAT. INDIAN STAR VIRAT KOHLI SHARED A 157-RUN PARTNERSHIP WITH DE VILLIERS AS RCB NOTCHED UP 227/4 IN THEIR 20 OVERS, WITH BLACKCAPS CAPTAIN KANE WILLIAMSON NOT REQUIRED. AUSSIE OPENER DAVID WARNER GAVE THE SUNRISERS HOPE WITH 58 OFF 25 BALLS, BUT BY THE TIME KIWI FAST BOWLER ADAM MILNE DISMISSED MOISES HENRIQUES, IT WAS CURTAINS FOR THE SUNRISERS. MILNE FINISHED WITH FIGURES OF 1/43 IN THE 45-RUN WIN. AND THE WARRIORS HAVE DROPPED VETERAN HALFBACK JEFF ROBSON FOR THIS WEEKEND'S NRL CLASH AGAINST THE BULLDOGS IN WELLINGTON. YOUNG GUN TUI LOLOHEA FINALLY GETTING HIS CHANCE IN THE HALVES, WITH SHAUN JOHNSON REVERTING BACK TO HIS PREFERRED NUMBER SEVEN SHIRT. AND, YOU KNOW, WE FEEL LIKE TIME'S RIGHT NOW, SO, YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY DISAPPOINTING FOR JEFF, BUT WE'RE GONNA COMMIT TO TUI AND GIVE HIM A RIGHT OLD CRACK. HE'S READY FOR IT. DAVID FUSITU'A REPLACES LOLOHEA ON THE WING, WITH MANU VATUVEI STILL UNAVAILABLE. STILL TO COME ON MIDDAY ` I'LL BE BACK WITH THE AFTERNOON WEATHER. A DUSTY OLD PICTURE FOUND IN AN ATTIC LOOKS SET TO YIELD THE OWNERS OVER 200 MILLION BIG ONES. NOW TO THE WEATHER. FOR WEATHER, SEE ONENEWS.CO.NZ FINALLY AT MIDDAY, A 400-YEAR-OLD PAINTING THAT COULD BE THE WORK OF ITALIAN MASTER CARAVAGGIO HAS BEEN FOUND IN AN ATTIC IN SOUTHERN FRANCE. THE PICTURE HAD BEEN LEFT FOR MORE THAN 150 YEARS IN A PROPERTY AND WAS ONLY FOUND WHEN THE OWNERS WENT UP TO THE ATTIC TO FIX A LEAK. IT'S THOUGHT TO HAVE BEEN PAINTED IN ROME IN THE 17TH CENTURY. IF VERIFIED AS CARAVAGGIO'S WORK, ITS VALUE'S BEEN ESTIMATED AT NEARLY $200M. THANKS FOR JOINING US. THE ONE NEWS HOUR WILL BE HERE AT 6. GOOD AFTERNOON. CAPTIONS BY JUNE YEOW AND INGRID LAUDER. CAPTIONS WERE MADE POSSIBLE WITH FUNDING FROM NZ ON AIR. COPYRIGHT ABLE 2016
