Certainly felt like spring across the country. 23 was the warmest spot. A front moving north that will a factor over the weekend. RIGHT NOW IT'S 6 O'CLOCK. DUE TO THE LIVE NATURE OF ONE NEWS, WE APOLOGISE FOR THE LACK OF CAPTIONS FOR SOME ITEMS. SHAKING SHELVES. THE BIGGEST EARTHQUAKE TO HIT THE NORTH ISLAND IN 20 YEARS. A TSUNAMI WARNING'S ISSUED. WHY DID IT TAKE SO LONG FOR AUTHORITIES TO ALERT PEOPLE TO EVACUATE? EXPLOSION A FIERY END AS A ROCKET EXPLODES ON THE LAUNCH PAD, DESTROYING FACEBOOK ACCESS FOR MILLIONS OF PEOPLE. A NZ WOMAN'S ARRESTED IN BALI OVER DRUGS. WE REVEAL HOW MUCH SHE'S ACCUSED OF CARRYING. # ALL BY MYSELF. # ALL LONELY ONCE AGAIN. WHAT'S CHANGED FOR BRIDGET JONES AFTER 12 YEARS? KIA ORA, GOOD EVENING. A JITTERY NIGHT AHEAD FOR THOSE LIVING ALONG THE EAST CAPE, AS AFTERSHOCKS CONTINUE TO ROCK THE REGION AFTER A POWERFUL EARTHQUAKE TRIGGERED FEARS OF A TSUNAMI. HERE'S WHERE IT STRUCK. THE 7.1-MAGNITUDE QUAKE WAS CENTRED ABOUT 100KM NORTH-EAST OF THE SETTLEMENT OF TE ARAROA AT A SHALLOW DEPTH OF 22KM. IT SPARKED A TSUNAMI WARNING RIGHT ACROSS THIS AREA HERE, FROM JUST SOUTH OF GISBORNE TO AROUND THE TIP OF THE NORTH ISLAND. THAT'S NOW BEEN LIFTED, BUT OFFICIALS ADVISE RESIDENTS ALONG THE COAST TO TAKE EXTRA CARE, AS CURRENTS WILL REMAIN VOLATILE. LET'S GO LIVE NOW TO EMILY COOPER ON THE EAST COAST. We've been on the ground here since very early this morning. We've driven right up the East Coast, from Hawke's Bay through Gisborne. Civil defence is praising residents. 4.37 THIS MORNING, HICKS BAY FOUR SQUARE BORE THE BRUNT OF A MASSIVE 7.1 EARTHQUAKE. JUST HEARD THE DOGS BARKING, GROUND SHAKING, WALLS SHAKING, RUMBLING, ROCKING AND ROLLING. (LAUGHS) I WAS PRETTY OUT OF IT. IT GOT TO THE POINT WE THOUGHT, 'HELL, WE BETTER GET OUTTA HERE.' CENTRED 125KM NORTH-EAST OF THESE BEACHES BUT LEAVING AN OBVIOUS IMPRESSION. DOZENS OF HICKS BAY RESIDENTS EVACUATED TO A LOCAL MOTEL THIS MORNING. AS SOON AS WE GOT THAT ALERT, WE JUMPED IN THE CAR, SLIPPERS AND ALL, KIDS IN TOW, AND WENT UP TO HICKS BAY HOTEL FOR SAFETY. SCHOOL WAS CALLED OFF FOR MANY CHILDREN ON THE EAST CAPE. OWNERS OF THIS 110-YEAR-OLD HOMESTEAD GOT A LOUD WAKE-UP CALL WHEN THEIR CHIMNEY COLLAPSED IN. WHEN THE CHIMNEY STARTED COMING DOWN, THAT WAS A WHOLE DIFFERENT LEVEL OF NOISE, AND THAT WAS PROBABLY THE MOST FRIGHTENING PART. FURTHER SOUTH, IN TOLAGA BAY, IT WAS AN ALARMING START TO THE DAY. TAKING WHAT THEY COULD AND HEADING FOR HIGHER GROUND, THE MOOD WAS SURPRISINGLY UPBEAT. GET THE KIDS IN THE CAR AND OFF, EH. WE JUST MOVED TO A HIGHER GROUND JUST TO KEEP SAFE, JUST IN CASE A TSUNAMI COMES. SOME YOUNG ONES TOOK IN THE MORNING'S EXCITEMENT. IT WAS PRETTY BIG AND SHAKY, AND IT WAS ACTUALLY ROCKING MY WHOLE BED AND THE WHOLE ROOM AND EVERYTHING, AND STUFF WAS FALLING, AND IT WAS BIG. AND WITH A TSUNAMI WARNING STILL IN PLACE AT BREAKFAST TIME, FAMILIES MADE THEIR WAY TO THE LOCAL KURA, CHILDREN HERE WERE TREATED TO A SLIGHTLY UNUSUAL START TO THE SCHOOL DAY. PARENTS HAVE BROUGHT CONTAINERS OF KAI. THEIR BABIES HAVE GOT BLANKETS. THERE'S A COUPLE OF PLAYSTATIONS AND XBOXES IN THERE. WE'VE HOOKED UP ONE SIDE WITH A MOVIE SO CHILDREN CAN JUST RELAX, FEEL SAFER. SEISMOLOGISTS ARE WORRIED TO SEE SUCH A BIG SHAKE ON THE MAJOR NORTH ISLAND FAULT LINE. IT REPRESENTS THE SINGLE BIGGEST FAULT IN THE NORTH ISLAND, SO THAT FAULT COULD POTENTIALLY FAIL IN A DISASTROUS EARTHQUAKE, LIKE WE SAW IN 2011 IN JAPAN. WITH MORE AFTERSHOCKS EXPECTED IN THE COMING DAYS, EAST CAPE RESIDENTS ARE WARNED TO STAY ON ALERT. As you just heard, residents are being told to brace themselves for further after-shocks. Authorities are saying if there is another big after-shock that residents should just do what they did today and leave on their own accord. Residents here will be hoping for a more peaceful sleep tonight. THANKS. THE OFFICIAL WARNING WAS FOR WAVES UP TO A METRE HIGH, BUT THE QUAKE ENDED UP GENERATING WAVES OF JUST 30CM IN HEIGHT. SO YOU MAY BE WONDERING, 'WHAT'S THE BIG DEAL?' WELL, HAVE A LOOK AT THIS. UNLIKE A REGULAR WAVE OF A METRE, WHICH FORMS AND DISSIPATES ONCE IT HITS LAND, A TSUNAMI SWELL OF THE SAME HEIGHT CAN HAVE A WALL, OR PLATEAU, OF WATER BEHIND IT THAT CAN EXTEND BACK 100KM OR SO. IT'S THIS SHEER MOMENTUM AND SPEED THAT ARE SO DESTRUCTIVE, CAPABLE OF PUSHING THE SURGING MASS OF WATER HUNDREDS OF METRES INLAND. THAT'S WHY BROADCASTERS LIKE TVNZ'S ONE NEWS ARE OBLIGED TO ALERT VIEWERS ACROSS THE COUNTRY WHEN AN OFFICIAL TSUNAMI WARNING IS ISSUED. SO WAS THE WARNING FOR RESIDENTS TO EVACUATE TO HIGHER GROUND ISSUED EARLY ENOUGH? ONE PERSON QUESTIONED WHETHER CIVIL DEFENCE OFFICIALS SLEPT THROUGH IT ALL. JESSICA MUTCH LOOKS AT HOW THE AUTHORITIES RESPONDED. STRONG AND LONG. THIS IS WHAT A 7.1 MAGNITUDE QUAKE LOOKS LIKE. AND CIVIL DEFENCE WANTED TO GET THE MESSAGE OUT THERE. SO HOW DID IT DO? WE GOT THE 6 O'CLOCK NEWS ON TV ONE, AND THAT'S HOW I KNOW ABOUT IT. AND THEN WENT ON TO MY PHONE, GOT ON THE INTERNET AND GOT ALL THE INFORMATION I NEEDED FROM CIVIL DEFENCE THERE. IT WAS VERY GOOD. I THINK EVERYONE SORT OF KNEW WHAT WAS HAPPENING. IT WAS ON THE RADIO EVERY FEW MINUTES. WHERE I LIVE, YOU'RE ON YOUR OWN ANYWAY, AND SO WE ACTIVELY FIND OUT WHAT'S HAPPENING. IF I HADN'T FELT AN EARTHQUAKE, I WOULDN'T HAVE. CIVIL DEFENCE HAVE BEEN PRACTISING FOR THIS. IN FACT, IT DID A TSUNAMI EXERCISE TWO DAYS AGO. IT'S OBVIOUSLY EXTREMELY TIMELY HAPPENING IN THE SAME WEEK THAT WE HAVE A REAL EVENT. BUT IT WASN'T PERFECT, AND CIVIL DEFENCE WERE CRITICISED ON SOCIAL MEDIA FOR TAKING AN HOUR TO ISSUE A TSUNAMI WARNING. WOULD I LIKE THIS TO BE FASTER? OF COURSE I WOULD. IT'S ABOUT MAKING SURE THAT WHEN WE'RE MAKING IT FASTER, WE'RE KEEPING THAT INFORMATION ACCURATE. IT WASN'T JUST THOSE CLOSE TO THE EPICENTRE WHO WERE LOOKING FOR INFORMATION AND GUIDANCE FROM CIVIL DEFENCE. THESE ORANGE MARKS SHOW THE QUAKE WAS FELT ALL OVER THE NORTH ISLAND, AND EVEN THE TOP OF THE SOUTH. I WAS IN BED AT THE TIME AND WOKE UP AND FELT THE BED, KIND OF, RATTLING, AND I WAS ABOUT READY TO JUMP UP ON TO THE TABLE IN MY ROOM. THE TRANSPORT HUB IN AUCKLAND'S CBD WAS CLOSED AS A PRECAUTION DURING COMMUTER TRAFFIC. I TAKE THE FERRY EVERY DAY. I TAKE THE TRAINS EVERY DAY. WAY BIGGER THAN NORMAL. CIVIL DEFENCE SAYS IT'S A GOOD REMINDER THAT THE UNEXPECTED CAN HAPPEN. JESSICA MUTCH, ONE NEWS. A NZ WOMAN'S BEEN DETAINED BY INDONESIAN POLICE AFTER ALLEGEDLY ARRIVING IN BALI WITH DRUGS. MYRA WILLIAMS CURRENTLY LIVES IN AUSTRALIA. SHE'S REPORTED TO HAVE BEEN ARRESTED CARRYING A SMALL AMOUNT OF METHAMPHETAMINE. SAM KELWAY REPORTS. PARADED IN FRONT OF THE MEDIA, MYRA WILLIAMS APPEARED BEWILDERED. SHE WAS ALLEGEDLY CAUGHT WITH ALMOST A GRAM OF METHAMPHETAMINE WHILE ENTERING BALI'S DENPASAR AIRPORT AND WAS REPORTEDLY INCONSOLABLE AT HER ARREST. SHE WAS VISIBLY DISTRESSED, SCREAMING AND CRYING AND QUITE EMOTIONAL. WILLIAMS IS ORIGINALLY FROM TAUPO BUT NOW BASED IN AUSTRALIA. THE MINISTRY OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS AND TRADE SAYS IT'S WORKING WITH INDONESIAN AUTHORITIES AND PROVIDING SUPPORT. OTHER NZERS ARRESTED ON DRUGS CHARGES IN BALI INCLUDE LEEZA ORMSBY, WHO WAS JAILED FOR NINE MONTHS AFTER BEING FOUND WITH CANNABIS IN 2014, AND ANTONY DEMALMANCHE, WHO WAS CAUGHT THE SAME YEAR WITH ALMOST 2KG OF METH. HE AVOIDED THE DEATH PENALTY BUT IS SPENDING 15 YEARS BEHIND BARS. HIS LAWYER SAYS JAIL TIME LOOKS LIKELY FOR MYRA WILLIAMS. IT DOESN'T SOUND LIKE A COMMERCIAL AMOUNT THAT THEY'VE FOUND OR ALLEGED TO HAVE FOUND. BUT THEY TAKE IT SERIOUSLY, AND SHE WILL BE IN A SECURE CUSTODIAL ENVIRONMENT. WILLIAMS TOLD POLICE THE METH BELONGED TO A FRIEND. SHE'D POSTED ON FACEBOOK HOW MUCH SHE WAS LOOKING FORWARD TO HER HOLIDAY. THAT BREAK COULD NOW BECOME A LONG STINT BEHIND BARS. AT THE MOMENT SHE WILL PROBABLY BE IN A CELL WITH 15 OR 16 OTHERS. IT WILL BE HOT, THERE WILL BE NO AIR CONDITIONING, AND THERE'LL BE VERY LITTLE WATER SUPPLIES AND FOOD. IT'S VERY APPARENT THAT MYRA IS IN A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AT THE MOMENT. A BALACLAVA, HANDCUFFS AND A PRISON T-SHIRT SIGNALLING AN ABRUPT CHANGE IN PLANS FOR THE 27 YEAR-OLD. SAM KELWAY, ONE NEWS. A KIWI SUPER-YACHT WORKER MISSING IN FRANCE HAS BEEN FOUND DEAD. RHYS COCHRANE (24) WENT SWIMMING ON MONDAY OFF A YACHT NEAR CANNES. AFTER EXTENSIVE SEARCH EFFORTS, HIS BODY WAS FOUND ON THE SEABED UNDERNEATH THE YACHT OVERNIGHT. MR COCHRANE WAS AN EXPERIENCED SWIMMER. HE MADE HEADLINES IN 2012 AFTER RESCUING AN ORCA TRAPPED IN A CRAYFISHING ROPE. THE CAUSE OF A MASSIVE EXPLOSION THAT DESTROYED A ROCKET AHEAD OF ITS LAUNCH IN THE US IS STILL NOT KNOWN. THE BLAST ALSO INCINERATED A $275M FACEBOOK SATELLITE, WHICH WOULD'VE OPENED UP THE WORLD WIDE WEB TO MILLIONS MORE PEOPLE. HERE'S ABC'S DAVID KERLEY. IT'S A TEST THAT GOES TERRIBLY WRONG. EXPLOSION THIS SPACEX ROCKET ERUPTED ON THE PAD LIKE A BOMB GOING OFF, AND IT WASN'T JUST ONE EXPLOSION ` SEVERAL FOLLOWED. THE FORCE OF THE BLAST WAS FELT BY RESIDENTS MILES AWAY FROM CAPE CANAVERAL. I FELT A SMALL EARTHQUAKE. THAT'S A LOT OF POWER. SPACEX WAS PLANNING TO TEST FIRE THE ROCKET AHEAD OF THIS WEEKEND'S LAUNCH. IT WAS FILLING IT WITH FUEL, INCLUDING THE TANK IN THE UPPER STAGE, WHEN SOMETHING FAILED CATASTROPHICALLY. IT'S CLEAR THE EXPLOSION STARTED THERE. IT WAS SO BIG, IT WAS PICKED UP ON RADAR. AS WELL AS THE ROCKET, ITS CARGO ` SEEN HERE FALLING IN FLAMES ` WAS LOST TOO. INSIDE WAS AN ISRAELI COMMUNICATIONS SATELLITE THAT FACEBOOK HOPED TO USE. THIS WAS ITS FIRST VENTURE INTO SPACE. IN AFRICA, FACEBOOK CEO MARK ZUCKERBERG SAID IN A POST ` IT IS THE SECOND MAJOR SETBACK FOR SPACEX AND ITS CEO ELON MUSK. A LITTLE MORE THAN A YEAR AGO, ONE OF ITS FALCON 9S BLEW UP ON TAKEOFF. WE'RE GONNA HAVE ACCIDENTS... FORMER ASTRONAUT MARK KELLY IS ON SPACEX'S CREW SAFETY ADVISORY BOARD. SO THIS ISN'T A DEATH KNELL, THIS IS JUST A SETBACK? IT'S JUST A SETBACK. WE CAN FIGURE OUT IN THIS CASE WHAT HAPPENED AND WE'LL MAKE SURE THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN AGAIN. SPACEX WILL NOT FLY AGAIN UNTIL A CAUSE IS DETERMINED AND IT IS FIXED, AND THAT COULD COMPLICATE THE SPACE CALENDAR. THE PRIVATE COMPANY WAS SCHEDULED TO TAKE SUPPLIES TO THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION IN NOVEMBER. FACEBOOK SAYS THE EXPLOSION WON'T HALT ITS GOAL OF MAKING INTERNET ACCESS MORE WIDESPREAD. IT'S ESTIMATED THAT MORE THAN HALF THE WORLD'S POPULATION DON'T HAVE ONLINE ACCESS. JOSHUA KITE, THE MAN WHO SPENT SIX DAYS ON THE RUN FROM POLICE AFTER SHOOTING AT TWO OFFICERS IN NORTHLAND, APPEARED, HANDCUFFED, IN MANUKAU DISTRICT COURT TODAY. THE 33-YEAR-OLD ATTEMPTED TO COMMUNICATE WITH PEOPLE IN THE PUBLIC GALLERY AS THE CASE WAS DISCUSSED. HE FACES 10 CHARGES, INCLUDING KIDNAPPING AND SHOOTING AT POLICE OFFICERS. THE CHARGES WERE REFERRED BACK TO THE FOUR DIFFERENT COURTS THEY ORIGINATED AT AND WILL BE HEARD ON DIFFERENT DATES OVER THE NEXT FEW WEEKS. POLICE HAVE NOW ARRESTED THE BOUNCER CAUGHT ON CAMERA KNOCKING OUT A MAN OUTSIDE AN AUCKLAND NIGHTCLUB A FORTNIGHT AGO. THE 45-YEAR-OLD MANGERE MAN'S BEEN CHARGED WITH ASSAULT WITH INTENT TO INJURE FOLLOWING THIS ONE-PUNCH ATTACK, AS WELL AS WORKING WITHOUT A CURRENT CERTIFICATE. HE'LL APPEAR IN THE AUCKLAND DISTRICT COURT ON THURSDAY. THE RESIDENTS OF PAHIATUA NEAR PALMERSTON NORTH ARE BEING ADVISED TO BOIL THEIR WATER AFTER AN E COLI CONTAMINATION. THERE'S BEEN NO REPORTS OF ILLNESS BUT THE TARARUA DISTRICT COUNCIL IS NOW CHLORINATING THE WATER AS A PRECAUTION AFTER TWO DAYS OF POSITIVE TESTS AT THE SOURCE. THE COUNCIL WILL PROVIDE A WATER TANKER FOR RESIDENTS BY TOMORROW. THE BOIL WATER NOTICE WON'T BE LIFTED UNTIL THERE ARE THREE CONSECUTIVE DAYS OF CLEAR TESTS. THE BAY OF PLENTY'S BEEN BASKING IN A GOLDEN GLOW SINCE THE OLYMPICS. THE REGION PROVIDED SOME OF OUR BEST PERFORMERS AND TODAY, SUPPORTERS YOUNG AND OLD TOOK TO THE STREETS OF TAURANGA TO SAY CONGRATULATIONS AS THE MEDALLISTS RETURNED HOME. WILL HINE REPORTS. THE PARTY CONTINUES FOR PETER BURLING AND BLAIR TUKE. THE SAILING GOLD MEDALLISTS WERE THE STAR ATTRACTION AT TODAY'S HOMECOMING. TO BE ABLE TO BRING THE MEDALS BACK AND SHARE THEM WITH WHERE IT ALL BEGAN IS PRETTY SPECIAL. AND THESE TAURANGA WATERS WERE WHERE IT ALL BEGAN. THIS WAS BURLING RACING DEAN BARKER AS A 10-YEAR-OLD. WE WERE ALL HAPPY BUT THEN WE WERE ANGRY. AND WE TRIED TO CATCH UP AGAIN BUT WE COULDN'T. THEN IT GOT ABANDONED AND WE WENT ALL SAD. BUT THE SMILES WERE BACK TODAY, NOT JUST FOR THE SAILORS BUT FOR LOCALS TOO. IT WAS FANTASTIC. THE KIDS LOVED IT AND IT WAS REALLY GOOD TO SEE SOME OF THE MEDALLISTS. THEY INCLUDED SAILORS MOLLY MEECH AND ALEX MALONEY, WHO CAME SECOND IN RIO, PLUS BRONZE MEDALLIST SAM MEECH AND FOURTH PLACE GETTER JASON SAUNDERS. I THINK TAURANGA HAD AN AMAZING COMMUNITY GROWING UP FOR US WHEN WE WERE LEARNING TO SAIL HERE. ALL MY FRIENDS DID IT SO WE HAD FUN DOING IT AS WELL. THERE'S NO OTHER CLUB IN NZ THAT'S GOT THESE THREE MEDALS AND A FOURTH PLACE AS WELL. AND PROBABLY EVEN IN THE WORLD, IT'S DIFFICULT TO FIND ANOTHER YACHT CLUB THAT'S HAD SIMILAR SUCCESS. CANOE SLALOM SILVER MEDALLIST LUUKA JONES ALSO POPPED ALONG. ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC AND THEY'RE FROM THE BAY OF PLENTY SO TAURANGA'S VERY PROUD. THAT PRIDE WAS EVIDENT ON EVERY STREET AS THE PARADE MEANDERED THROUGH THE CITY. PARTICULARLY THE CHILDREN, THEY'RE LOOKING AT THESE PEOPLE AND SAYING, 'I CAN DO THAT AS WELL.' THE SORT OF SPIRIT THAT'S WORKED OUT OK FOR PETER BURLING. WILL HINE, ONE NEWS. THEY WERE FLEEING LIKE THEY WERE IN A MOVIE. A SON'S DRAMATIC RECOUNT OF THE MOMENT HIS PARENTS MADE A RUN FOR IT ON A FAMILY ROAD TRIP. BUT WHAT ARE THEY RUNNING FROM? AND WHO TRASHED THE HOUSE BEFORE THEY LEFT? HIS DEATH BECAME THE DEFINING IMAGE OF EUROPE'S REFUGEE CRISIS, BUT, A YEAR ON, WHAT'S CHANGED? HIS FATHER'S ACCUSING WORLD LEADERS OF ABANDONING THE DESPERATE. AND TAKE A LOOK AT THIS BEAST. A MASSIVE STORM IS HITTING FLORIDA RIGHT NOW. THE LATEST PICTURES AS THE STATE PREPARES FOR ITS BIGGEST STORM IN MORE THAN A DECADE. AUSTRALIAN POLICE CONTINUE TO SEARCH FOR A MISSING BERRY FARMER WHO DISAPPEARED DURING A BIZARRE FAMILY ROAD TRIP. MARK TROMP'S FAMILY SAY THEY'RE CONCERNED FOR HIS WELLBEING AFTER HIS WIFE WAS FOUND WANDERING IN AN AGITATED STATE. CHANNEL NINE'S SIMON BOUDA REPORTS. IT'S A MYSTERY THAT HAS COMPLETELY BAFFLED POLICE AND THE COUPLE'S CHILDREN. THE BEST WAY TO DESCRIBE IT IS LIKE A MOVIE. I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYONE ACT LIKE THIS OR CONDUCT THEMSELVES IN THIS WAY. MITCH AND I WANTED TO COME HOME AND WE FOUND OUR OWN WAY. THEIR MOTHER AND FATHER VANISHED AFTER THE FAMILY LEFT MELBOURNE TO DRIVE TO JENOLAN CAVES TWO DAYS AGO. WHEN THE FAMILY LEFT THEIR SILVAN BERRY FARM, THE HOUSE WAS IN DISARRAY. IT WAS AN UNUSUAL SITUATION ` THE HOUSE WIDE OPEN. PAPERWORK, PHONES ` THINGS THAT PEOPLE WOULD NORMALLY TAKE WITH THEM ALL THE TIME. CREDIT CARDS WERE ON THE TABLE. WHAT POLICE DO KNOW IS THIS ` THE TROMPS LEFT HOME ON MONDAY. THE NEXT DAY THEY WERE AT JENOLAN CAVES, BUT THEN THE THREE CHILDREN SEPARATED FROM THEIR PARENTS. THAT AFTERNOON, THEY REPORT THEIR PARENTS MISSING TO GOULBORN POLICE. YESTERDAY THE FAMILY'S SILVER PEUGEOT TURNED UP DUMPED AT WANGARATTA IN VICTORIA'S NORTH, WITNESSES TELLING POLICE THEY SAW A MAN FLEE INTO NEARBY BUSHLAND. TODAY MRS TROMP (53) WAS FOUND AT YASS HOSPITAL IN A DAZED STATE. WE KNOW HER MENTAL HEALTH AND WELL-BEING IS NOT OF A GOOD STANDARD AT THE MOMENT. ACCORDING TO THE TROMP CHILDREN, THE FAMILY LEFT THEIR HOME FOR A TECHNOLOGY-FREE BREAK. JUST THE GENERAL STRESS OF GENERAL LIFE GOT A BIT TOO MUCH. POLICE ARE STILL SEARCHING FOR MARK TROMP (51). THEY FEAR HE MAY NOT WANT TO BE FOUND. AND IN ANOTHER TWIST, NEW REPORTS THIS AFTERNOON SAY THAT THE TROMP FAMILY WERE LOOKING TO FLEE AUSTRALIA BECAUSE THEY BELIEVED THEIR LIVES WERE IN DANGER. A COMMUNITY IN SYDNEY'S NORTHERN BEACHES IS REELING AFTER TWO 12-YEAR-OLD BOYS WERE CHARGED WITH THE RAPE OF A SIX-YEAR-OLD AT A PRIMARY SCHOOL. POLICE SAY THE GIRL WAS ASSAULTED IN THE TOILETS OF THE SCHOOL ALL THREE ATTENDED. BOTH BOYS WERE CHARGED AT CHATSWOOD POLICE STATION AND HAVE BEEN RELEASED ON BAIL. ONE WILL FACE COURT LATER THIS MONTH, THE OTHER NEXT MONTH. JUST A WARNING THAT SOME IMAGES IN THIS NEXT REPORT MIGHT BE DISTURBING. A YEAR AGO, THE MEDITERRANEAN MIGRANT CRISIS WAS BROUGHT INTO SHARP FOCUS BY THE IMAGES OF A 3-YEAR-OLD SYRIAN BOY, WHOSE BODY WAS FOUND ON A BEACH IN TURKEY. TODAY AYLAN KURDI'S FATHER CALLED ON WORLD LEADERS TO REMEMBER THE REFUGEES, AMID ACCUSATIONS THAT WE'VE TURNED OUR BACKS ON THOSE RISKING THEIR LIVES TO REACH SAFETY IN EUROPE. THE BBC'S FERGAL KEANE REPORTS. STILL THEY RISK THE CROSSING ON THE WATERS WHERE AYLAN KURDI DIED. FEWER BOATS HERE, BUT ACROSS THE MEDITERRANEAN, DROWNINGS CONTINUE. UNTIL THAT MORNING A YEAR AGO, THE SEA HAD NAMED HUNDREDS WHOSE NAMES WERE UNKNOWN TO THE WORLD. BUT THE SIGHT OF AYLAN KURDI (3) DROWNED AT THE WATER'S EDGE GAVE MASS TRAGEDY AN INDIVIDUAL IDENTITY. AYLAN, HIS BROTHER, GALIP, AND MOTHER, REHANA, WERE LOST. A DAY LATER, I MET AYLAN'S FATHER, WHO SURVIVED THE TRAGEDY. HE PAID PEOPLE SMUGGLERS TO MAKE THE DANGEROUS CROSSING. TRANSLATOR: MY CHILDREN WERE THE MOST BEAUTIFUL IN THE WORLD. IS THERE ANYBODY FOR WHOM THEIR CHILD ISN'T THE MOST PRECIOUS THING? ABDULLAH KURDI BURIED HIS SONS BACK IN SYRIA. HE TURNED DOWN AN OFFER OF ASYLUM ABROAD ` 'TO BE NEAR THEM', HE SAID. NICE TO SEE YOU. A YEAR ON ` A YEAR EXACTLY. NOW, A YEAR ON, I MET HIM AGAIN, WITH HIS SISTER, IN KURDISH-DOMINATED NORTHERN IRAQ, WHERE HE NOW LIVES. TRANSLATOR: EVERY DAY I THINK OF THEM. BUT TODAY I FELT AS IF THEY HAD COME TO ME AND SLEPT WITH ME. (SPEAKS LOCAL LANGUAGE) AND THIS MAKES ME SAD AGAIN. THE TRAGEDY CREATED AN INTERNATIONAL OUTCRY, PROPELLED BY SOCIAL MEDIA. BUT THE SEASON OF OUTRAGE WAS BRIEF. (SOBS HYSTERICALLY) FOR THE EU, THE REFUGEE AND MIGRANT CRISIS BECAME POLITICALLY TOXIC, AS GOVERNMENTS STRUGGLED TO DEAL WITH THE INFLUX. PEOPLE SOB PUBLIC SENTIMENT SHIFTED. TRANSLATOR: AT FIRST THE WORLD WAS ANXIOUS TO HELP THE REFUGEES, BUT THIS DID NOT EVEN LAST A MONTH. IN FACT, THE SITUATION GOT WORSE. MOST FLEEING WAR OR POVERTY NOW COME TO EUROPE VIA LIBYA. BUT THERE ARE FEW SYRIANS. UNDER A DEAL BETWEEN THE EU AND TURKEY, MOST ARE PREVENTED FROM CROSSING ON THE OLD ROUTE TO THE GREEK ISLANDS. TRANSLATOR: I HOPE THAT ALL THE LEADERS OF THE WORLD CAN TRY AND DO GOOD AND STOP THE WARS SO THAT THE PEOPLE CAN GO BACK TO NORMAL LIFE. ABDULLAH KURDI RISKED THE CROSSING TO TRY AND FIND THAT NORMAL LIFE FOR HIS CHILDREN. HE'S BEEN LEFT A HAUNTED SURVIVOR. SO FAR THIS YEAR, NEARLY 300,000 MIGRANTS HAVE REACHED EUROPE BY SEA ` SIGNIFICANTLY FEWER THAN THE SAME PERIOD LAST YEAR. HOWEVER, MORE THAN 3000 PEOPLE HAVE DROWNED TRYING TO MAKE THE TRIP. FIERCE WINDS AND HEAVY RAIN ARE ALREADY CAUSING CHAOS IN FLORIDA AS HURRICANE HERMINE MAKES LANDFALL IN THE STATE. THE HUGE STORM'S SURGE IS ALREADY STARTING TO INUNDATE LOW LYING AREAS NEAR THE COAST, AND RESIDENTS HAVE BEEN TOLD THEY NEED TO EVACUATE. BOTTOM LINE ` IT'S LIFE-THREATENING. IF YOU NEED TO GO TO A SHELTER, GO NOW. DON'T WAIT. HURRICANE HERMINE IS EXPECTED TO PASS RIGHT OVER CENTRAL FLORIDA AND ITS EFFECTS COULD BE FELT AS FAR NORTH AS NEW YORK CITY IN COMING DAYS. FOR MORE ON THE FIRST HURRICANE TO MAKE LANDFALL IN FLORIDA IN 11 YEARS, LET'S GO TO ONE NEWS METEOROLOGIST DAN CORBETT. Quite an impressive looking radar. This is the eye here. It's this section here, the right side, where they are most concerned. You'll see what I mean with the swirl. Imagine pushing the water, piling in. There are expecting a 2 m to 3 m storm surge over the next few hours. They could be seeing it over the East Coast, still lingering into next week. Our weather is much quieter. Our front really fell apart. In the whole flow, it was West to north-west. That always pushes up the temperatures. FOR WEATHER, SEE ONENEWS.CO.NZ The weekend, you might be seeing some dry weather. DON'T BE DECEIVED BY THE BEAUTY. NEW WARNINGS ABOUT HOW DANGEROUS OUR GREAT OUTDOORS CAN BE, EVEN IF YOU THINK YOU'RE PREPARED. BRIDGET JONES REPORTING FOR THE BBC NEWS. BRIDGET'S BACK, BUT HOW HAS MORE THAN A DECADE AWAY CHANGED EVERYONE'S FAVOURITE HOT MESS? LOOKING AT OUR TOP STORIES TONIGHT ` AFTERSHOCKS CONTINUE TO ROCK THE EAST CAPE REGION AFTER A POWERFUL EARTHQUAKE STRUCK EARLY THIS MORNING, TRIGGERING FEARS OF A TSUNAMI. THE 7.1 MAGNITUDE QUAKE WAS CENTRED ABOUT 100KM NORTHEAST OF TE ARAROA AT A SHALLOW DEPTH OF 22KM. DOZENS OF HICKS BAY RESIDENTS WERE EVACUATED AND SCHOOL CALLED OFF FOR MANY ON THE EAST CAPE. TSUNAMI WARNINGS HAVE NOW BEEN LIFTED BUT OFFICIALS ADVISE RESIDENTS ALONG THE EAST COAST TO TAKE EXTRA CARE. A NZ WOMAN'S BEEN DETAINED BY INDONESIAN POLICE AFTER ALLEGEDLY ARRIVING IN BALI WITH DRUGS. MYRA WILLIAMS IS ORIGINALLY FROM TAUPO BUT NOW LIVES IN AUSTRALIA. SHE'S REPORTED TO HAVE BEEN CARRYING ALMOST A GRAM OF METHAMPHETAMINE WHEN SHE ENTERED DENPASAR AIRPORT. ENTICING BUT DANGEROUS. THAT'S HOW OUR GREAT OUTDOORS IS BEING DESCRIBED ` SOMETHING MADE ABUNDANTLY CLEAR BY THE RECENT ORDEAL OF A CZECH TOURIST ON THE ROUTEBURN TRACK. AS KIM SAVAGE REPORTS, THE RISING NUMBER OF DEATHS, INJURIES AND RESCUES HAS EMERGENCY SERVICES APPEALING FOR COMMON SENSE. A MAJESTIC MOVIE SET. THIS IS THE MESSAGE WE SEND TO THE WORLD. BUT, AS AN INCREASING NUMBER OF TRAMPERS ARE DISCOVERING, IT'S NOT ALWAYS A WALK IN THE PARK. THERE'S PEOPLE THAT ARE SETTING OUT TO ENJOY AN AFTERNOON OR A MORNING FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS. AND THEY'VE PLANNED THAT ASSUMING THAT IT'S ONLY GONNA BE A COUPLE OF HOURS. AND SOMETHING'S GONE WRONG ` THEY'VE GOT LOST, OR THEY'VE FALLEN AND INJURED THEMSELVES ` AND AN UNEXPECTED NIGHT OUT'S EVENTUATED. IN THE PAST FOUR MONTHS, THERE HAVE BEEN AT LEAST FOUR DAY WALKS THAT HAVE TURNED INTO WHAT THE MOUNTAIN SAFETY COUNCIL CALLS NEAR MISSES. FOR A WOMAN AND FOUR CHILDREN IN JULY, A TWO-HOUR BUSHWALK TURNED INTO TWO DAYS LOST IN THE UREWERAS. WHEN THEY ARE HAVING A BAD DAY IN THE OUTDOORS AND PERHAPS THEY DON'T FOLLOW THE CODE, THERE ARE SYSTEMS AND PROCESSES IN PLACE THAT WILL COME AND GET THEM. THAT'S WHAT WE DO AS SEARCH AND RESCUE. OBVIOUSLY WE'D LIKE TO REDUCE THE DEMAND FOR OUR SERVICES. ON AVERAGE, 338 PEOPLE HAVE TO BE RESCUED EACH YEAR. 3146 ARE INJURED, AND SIX PEOPLE DON'T MAKE IT BACK FROM THEIR TRAMPS AT ALL. THAT'S OUT OF ALMOST 770,000 PEOPLE WHO GO HIKING IN NZ EACH YEAR. HOTSPOTS FOR RESCUES INCLUDE TASMAN DISTRICT, WHERE NUMBERS AT 5.1 TIMES THE NATIONAL AVERAGE, AND THE CENTRAL NORTH ISLAND ` 10.5 TIMES. THIS INFORMATION PROVES USEFUL IN FIGURING OUT HOW WALKS GO AWRY. THE CRITICAL THING WE'RE DOING NOW IS ACTUALLY WORKING WITH REGIONAL AND LOCAL PARTNERS TO UNDERSTAND WHAT'S CAUSING THAT. NOW SPRING HAS SPRUNG, AND FRESH WAVES OF TOURISTS ARE STEPPING OFF THE PLANES. ALL OF A SUDDEN IT'S DARK, AND YOU DON'T HAVE A TORCH, YOU DON'T KNOW WHERE YOU ARE. SO, REALLY, YOU NEED TO BE PREPARED WITH APPROPRIATE EQUIPMENT. IF YOU HAVEN'T TOLD SOMEONE YOU'RE OUT, NO ONE'S COMING LOOKING FOR YOU IF SOMETHING DOES GO WRONG. ADVICE WHICH, IF HEEDED, COULD SAVE LIVES. KIM SAVAGE, ONE NEWS. THE FIGHT AGAINST THE FOOD BEING SERVED UP AT DUNEDIN HOSPITAL CONTINUES. CAMPAIGNERS TODAY PRESENTED THE SOUTHERN DHB WITH A PETITION SIGNED BY 3000 PEOPLE, CALLING FOR THE CONTRACT WITH NEW FOOD PROVIDER 'COMPASS' TO BE DUMPED. WE DON'T NEED FOOD FROZEN UP` OR HALF THE MEALS` FROZEN UP IN AUCKLAND AND BROUGHT BACK TO DUNEDIN WHEN WE'RE COOKING SOME OF THE VEGETABLES AND THINGS IN THE KITCHEN. WE WANT THE KITCHEN OPEN, SO ALL THE MEALS ARE COOKED FRESH. THE COMMISSIONERS SAY THEY'LL CONSIDER THE SENTIMENTS OF THE PETITION. SIX OF THE COUNTRY'S 20 DHBS HAVE SIGNED UP TO THE COMPASS CONTRACT. SHE WAS THE ICON OF SINGLEDOM WHO EVENTUALLY GOT THE FAIRY-TALE ENDING SHE WAS AFTER. YES, BRIDGET JONES IS BACK, AND IN THE 12 YEARS SHE'S BEEN AWAY, A LOT'S CHANGED. RENEE ZELLWEGER, THE ACTRESS WHO BROUGHT HER TO LIFE, SAT DOWN WITH THE BBC'S FIONA BRUCE TO TALK ABOUT AGING IN THE AGE OF THE INTERNET, MAKING GOOD CHOICES AND MAKING NEWS. MENDELSSOHN'S 'WEDDING MARCH' SO, THERE I WAS, SURROUNDED BY MY FRIENDS AND ALL READY FOR MY HAPPY EVER AFTER. THE REALITY WAS MUCH MORE SINGLE. # ALL BY MYSELF. # A SEQUEL CAN ALWAYS BE VERY RISKY. YES. WERE YOU WORRIED ABOUT THAT? YEAH, I THINK WE ALL WERE. DIDN'T WANNA MAKE A FILM THAT DIDN'T MATTER, ESPECIALLY WITH THESE CHARACTERS THAT SEEMED TO RESONATE WITH PEOPLE ON SUCH A PERSONAL LEVEL. THINGS APPEAR AT FIRST TO BE LOOKING UP FOR BRIDGET JONES. OH! MAY I? UPBEAT MUSIC IT FITS. ONE CHALLENGE IS THAT AS BRIDGET HAS AGED, SO HAS RENEE ZELLWEGER. LET'S HAVE A LOOK AT YOU. OH! AND THE ALMOST INEVITABLE ONLINE CHAT ABOUT HER CHANGING APPEARANCE HAS MADE HEADLINES AROUND THE WORLD ` TO HER DISMAY. IT'S DISCONCERTING. WHEN YOU SEE SOMETHING THAT YOU KNOW IS NOT TRUE BECOMING THE TRUTH SIMPLY BECAUSE IT'S BEEN REPEATED ENOUGH, IT MAKES YOU WONDER. BEEP! I'M PREGNANT. BACK IN THE WORLD OF BRIDGET JONES, AN UNEXPECTED PREGNANCY BRINGS A DILEMMA. THE FATHER COULD BE ONE OF TWO MEN. DO YOU THINK THE RIGHT CHOICE WAS MADE? DOES SHE GO FOR THE RIGHT MAN? HOW COULD SHE LOSE? THEY WERE BOTH KINDA RIGHT. (CHUCKLES) IT'S ME, CHECKING TALKBACK. BRIDGET IS JUGGLING IMPENDING MOTHERHOOD WITH A CAREER AS A NEWS PRODUCER. DO YOU KNOW WHAT, BRIDGE? THIS WEEKEND, ME AND YOU NEED TO GO OUT AND GET STUCK INTO SOME SERIOUS` BINGE DRINKING ` A DANGEROUS SCOURGE ON SOCIETY. YOU CAME INTO THE BBC NEWSROOM TO HAVE A LOOK BEHIND THE SCENES. I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO MEET YOU THAT DAY... A DREAM COME TRUE. ...TO SEE HOW IT` BEST DAY EVER. WELL, TO SEE HOW IT WORKS. WHAT DID YOU THINK OF IT? AND DID YOU TAKE ANYTHING FROM THAT? IT'S CONTROLLED CHAOS. WHO KNEW? (LAUGHS) I MEAN, THE POTENTIAL FOR ABSOLUTE DISASTER AT EVERY MOMENT IS EXTRAORDINARY. DO YOU KNOW, I THINK SHE'S GOT A TASTE FOR IT. ENGLISH ACCENT: THIS IS BRIDGET JONES, REPORTING FOR THE BBC NEWS. BACK TO YOU, FIONA. (LAUGHS) YES, CONTROLLED CHAOS EVERY DAY. SEVERAL DIFFERENT ENDINGS WERE FILMED FOR THE MOVIE, SO EVEN THE CAST DON'T KNOW HOW IT ENDS. IT OPENS HERE IN THREE WEEKS. SHOTPUTTER TOM WALSH'S YEAR KEEPS GETTING BETTER. THE OLYMPIC BRONZE MEDALLIST LET RIP IN THE LATEST DIAMOND LEAGUE EVENT. PLUS THE BREAKERS BASKETBALL TEAM WELCOMES THE NEW GUY. I'M THE NEW IMPORT. LOOKING FORWARD TO GETTING THIS SEASON STARTED. IS SERENA WILLIAMS THE GREATEST ATHLETE ON THE PLANET? AS SHE REACHES YET ANOTHER TENNIS MILESTONE. AND IS SEVENS RUGBY BECOMING THE NEW NETBALL? THE SEVENS SISTERS INSPIRING YOUNG GIRLS TO TAKE UP THE OLYMPIC SPORT. KIA ORA, WELCOME BACK TO SPORT. KIWI SHOT-PUT STAR TOM WALSH HAS DONE IT AGAIN. THE OLYMPIC BRONZE MEDALLIST SCORED BACK-TO-BACK DIAMOND LEAGUE VICTORIES WITH ANOTHER PERSONAL BEST IN ZURICH. BUT AS MARTIN TASKER REPORTS, HIS SIGHTS ARE SET MUCH HIGHER. TOM WALSH IS IN THE FORM OF HIS LIFE. THE 24-YEAR-OLD FROM TIMARU OUT-THREW HIS AMERICAN RIVALS TO CLAIM HIS FIRST DIAMOND LEAGUE TITLE AND A CHEQUE FOR $69,000. TOMMY WALSH GOING OUT TO 22.20 IN THE THIRD ROUND. TOMMY WALSH GOING OUT TO 22.20 IN THE THIRD ROUND. THAT, OF COURSE, A NEW PERSONAL BEST FOR TOMMY WALSH. SINCE CLAIMING BRONZE IN RIO, WALSH HAS JUST GOT BETTER AND BETTER. AND TOM WALSH WILL MOVE INTO THE BRONZE MEDAL POSITION WITH THAT THROW OF 21.36. BUT HE INSISTS THERE'S NO SECRET FORMULA. (LAUGHS) MATE, THE SECRET IS THERE IS NO SECRET. I KNOW WHEN I THROW WELL, IT'S FREE AND EASY. IT'S JUST LETTING IT HAPPEN RATHER THAN TRYING TO DO IT. ONCE HE'D PEAKED FOR RIO, WALSH'S WORKLOAD CAME DOWN AS PLANNED TO KEEP HIM FRESH, AND HE STILL IS. AS SOON AS IT LEFT THE HAND I KNEW IT WAS BIG. IT'S AN AMAZING FEELING TO HAVE AND THAT PUT THE PRESSURE ON THE OTHER GUYS. THE OTHER GUYS INCLUDE AMERICAN RYAN CROUSER (23), THE OLYMPIC CHAMPION FROM RIO. IT'S HIS SECOND COMPETITION SINCE BRAZIL, AS I SAID. BEATEN BY TOMMY WALSH IN PARIS JUST FIVE DAYS AGO. IT'S AN ON-GOING AND PRODUCTIVE RIVALRY WITH A CLEAR AIM IN SIGHT. THERE'S A GROUP OF GUYS AT THE MOMENT. SOMEONE IS DEFINITELY GOING TO BREAK THE WORLD RECORD AND IT JUST DEPENDS WHO'S THE FIRST ONE. THE CURRENT RECORD OF 23.12M WAS SET BY AMERICAN RANDY BARNES IN 1990, SO WALSH WOULD NEED TO IMPROVE BY ALMOST A METRE TO SET A NEW MARK. I SET MY GOALS PRETTY HIGH AND THAT'S DEFINITELY ONE OF THEM. THE CHRISTCHURCH BUILDER HAS TWO MORE MEETS THIS MONTH IN GERMANY AND CROATIA BEFORE HEADING HOME TO A HERO'S WELCOME. MARTIN TASKER, ONE NEWS. JUST AS SPRING BRINGS NEW LIFE AND NEW BEGINNINGS, A NEW SEASON DAWNS FOR THE NZ BREAKERS. PRE-SEASON GOT UNDERWAY TODAY WITH THE TEAM WELCOMING BACK A LOCAL LEGEND, BUT ALSO GETTING KNOW THEIR LATEST IMPORT, WHO ` AS THE CLICHE GOES ` HAS BIG BOOTS TO FILL. HE'S AMERICAN AND HE'S THE LATEST IMPORT FOR THE NZ BREAKERS, BUT BEN WOODSIDE ISN'T INTERESTED IN COMPARISONS TO HIS PREDECESSOR. I'M TOTALLY NOT ABOUT LIVING UP TO SOMEONE ELSE'S REPUTATION. THE 31-YEAR-OLD MINNESOTA NATIVE WILL BEGIN THE SEASON IN THE SHADOW OF CEDRIC JACKSON, A PROLIFIC POINTS SCORER WHO LED THE BREAKERS TO THREE NBL TITLES IN HIS FOUR SEASONS WITH THE CLUB. AND IN A TWIST, WOODSIDE'S FIRST GAME WILL BE AGAINST JACKSON'S NEW TEAM, MELBOURNE UNITED. I CAN'T LIVE IN SOMEONE ELSE'S SHOES ON THE BASKETBALL FLOOR. I'VE JUST GOTTA PLAY THE WAY I PLAY AND HOPEFULLY I CAN HELP OUT THE TEAM AND WE CAN GET THE MACHINE ROLLING. I JUST WANT HIM TO BE OUR GENERAL. BE THAT REAL LEADER ON THE FLOOR AND OFF THE FLOOR. USE THE EXPERIENCE THAT HE'S HAD IN HIS TIME PLAYING IN EUROPE AND USE THAT TO HELP THE REST OF THE GROUP GROW. ALSO HELPING OUT IS RETURNING LEGEND KIRK PENNEY, WHO'S SIGNED A THREE-YEAR DEAL. THE 35-YEAR-OLD HAD A HAND IN WOODSIDE'S SIGNING, HAVING PLAYED ALONGSIDE HIM IN TURKEY AND SPAIN. THE PAIR BECAME GOOD MATES. HE JUST LOVES IT HERE. IT'S SO DIFFERENT TO WHAT HE'S USED TO. HE'S LEFT THE STATES AND GONE TO THESE DIFFERENT COUNTRIES AND PLAYED AND ON THIS OCCASION HE'S COME TO A COUNTRY THAT IS SO FAMILIAR, SO COMFORTABLE, SO WELCOMING, SO HOSPITABLE, AND THAT MAKES ME PROUD AS A KIWI THAT HE FEELS LIKE THAT. PENNEY'S RETURN IS A WELCOME SIGNING FOR HIS NEW TEAMMATES. LAST SEASON THE TWO-TIME OLYMPIAN TORMENTED THE CLUB IN HIS STINT WITH THE ILLAWARRA HAWKS. SUPPOSE IT WAS A LITTLE BIT MORE FUN FOR ME THAN IT WAS FOR THEM IN THE END. THE FUN BEGINS FOR BREAKERS FANS OCTOBER 7TH. SERENA WILLIAMS HAS EQUALLED THE GRAND SLAM MATCH-WINNING TOTAL OF THE GREAT MARTINA NAVRATILOVA IN HER LATEST US OPEN VICTORY. SERENA STROLLED TO HER 306TH WIN AGAINST FELLOW AMERICAN VANIA KING. ONE OF HER BEST SHOTS OF THE NIGHT. AND AGAIN. THAT'S WHAT SHE'S BEEN SEARCHING FOR. ALL THIS HAS MEANT A MASSIVE STATUS UPDATE FOR THE WORLD NUMBER ONE BY NIKE. DRAMATIC MUSIC SISTER VENUS IS ALSO THROUGH TO THE THIRD ROUND IN STRAIGHT SETS, AFTER BEATING GERMANY'S JULIA GEORGES. AND ANDY MURRAY'S POWERED THROUGH TO THE THIRD ROUND OF THE MEN'S DRAW. MURRAY TOOK A TIGHT FIRST SET AGAINST SPAIN'S MARCEL GRANOLLERS AND SHOWED HIS 'NEVER SAY DIE' ATTITUDE IN THE SECOND. OH, THERE'S SOME SPEED! OK, HE'S FAST. (LAUGHS) MURRAY WON STRAIGHT SETS. HE'S LOST JUST ONE MATCH SINCE MID-JUNE. A FORMER CARETAKER COACH OF ENGLAND'S NATIONAL FOOTBALL SIDE IS THE LATEST ALL WHITES RECRUIT AS THEY AIM UP FOR WORLD CUP QUALIFICATION. FORMER SPURS AND CRYSTAL PALACE PLAYER PETER TAYLOR HAS BEEN ADDED AS AN ASSISTANT TO COACH ANTHONY HUDSON'S TEAM. THE 63-YEAR-OLD WILL WORK OUT OF ENGLAND, TRYING TO ENSURE OUR BEST PLAYERS DON'T FALL BY THE WAYSIDE. I THINK THERE ARE SOME SITUATIONS THAT HAVE HAPPENED UP UNTIL NOW WHERE IF SOMEONE LIKE PETE WAS INVOLVED AND BASED OVER THERE MEETING WITH PLAYERS AT THE TRAINING GROUNDS AND MEETING WITH MANAGERS AND SPENDING MORE TIME WITH THEM, I THINK THINGS MIGHT HAVE BEEN A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT. TAYLOR'S ALREADY UNDERWAY AND WILL TRAVEL WITH THE SIDE WHEN THEY PLAY THE USA AND MEXICO NEXT MONTH. IT WASN'T LONG AGO LIONEL MESSI SAID HE WAS DONE WITH INTERNATIONAL FOOTBALL AFTER ARGENTINA'S COPA AMERICA FINALS LOSS TO CHILE. BUT, LURED BACK, HE'S MADE AN INSTANT IMPACT IN A WORLD CUP QUALIFIER AGAINST URUGUAY. ABLE TO MAKE THE RUN AND IT'S DEFLECTED IN! MESSI WILL BE CLAIMING IT. ARGENTINA MAKE THE BREAKTHROUGH JUST BEFORE HALF-TIME. 1-0 TO ARGENTINA. BRAZIL'S NEW STAR, GABRIEL JYAYSIS, HELPED THEM TO A 3-0 WIN OVER ECUADOR. RIGHT, YOU MIGHT REMEMBER A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO WE FEATURED SOME OF THE RISING STARS IN THE MT ALBERT GRAMMAR FIRST 15 INCLUDING FORMER ALL BLACK ERONI CLARKE'S SON, CALEB. WELL, TODAY THEY WERE UP AGAINST SOUTHLAND BOYS' HIGH IN THE SEMI-FINAL OF THE NATIONAL TOP-FOUR COMPETITION. MAGS WAY TOO GOOD, WINNING 41-0. THE CAPTAIN'S THERE, PEDALLING WITH A DUMMY. BARLOW'S GONNA SCORE! THINGS A LOT MORE INTENSE IN THE SECOND SEMI, WHEN HAMILTON TOOK ON HASTINGS BOYS HIGH. THIS ONE WAS MUCH CLOSER, HASTINGS CLOSING IT OUT TO WIN 18-10. CAN THEY BEAT THE MAGS JUGGERNAUT IN THE FINAL ON SUNDAY? THE NZ WOMEN'S SEVENS TEAM HAS WRAPPED UP THEIR POST-OLYMPIC TOUR ` SEVEN CITIES IN SEVEN DAYS. IN DUNEDIN, THE SEVENS SISTERS SPREAD THE WORD, HOPING THEIR SILVER-MEDAL PERFORMANCE WILL SEE A SURGE OF INTEREST IN THE SPORT. SO IS SEVENS RUGBY THE NEW NETBALL? MARK HATHAWAY REPORTS. OUR OLYMPICS SILVER MEDALLISTS PROVIDING AN EXAMPLE OF NEW CAREER PROSPECTS IN THE FEMALE SIDE OF OUR NATIONAL GAME. WHEN WE FIRST STARTED, IT WAS JUST KIND OF A HOBBY. NOW SINCE WOMEN'S SEVENS HAS BEEN INCLUDED IN THE OLYMPICS, IT'S HONESTLY GONE THROUGH THE ROOF. THE PLAYERS ARE NOW ON PROFESSIONAL CONTRACTS, EARNING THEM IN THE BALLPARK OF $40,000 TO $60,000 A YEAR. DEVELOPMENTS LIKE THAT ARE A BIG BOOST FOR FEMALE RUGBY. FIELDING TEAMS AT AN UNDER-15 AGE GROUP TOURNAMENT LIKE THIS ONE ` WITH AROUND 200 PLAYERS FROM OTAGO AND SOUTHLAND ` WOULD HAVE BEEN NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE IN THE PAST. BUT WITH MORE PLAYERS COME MORE POSSIBILITIES. THERE WERE AROUND 19,000 FEMALES PLAYING THE GAME IN THIS COUNTRY LAST YEAR. NZ RUGBY ARE HOPING THAT FIGURE IS GOING TO JUMP TO OVER 20,000 ONCE THEY'VE HAD THEIR 2016 TALLY-UP. NZ RUGBY IS KEEN TO SEE AN INCREASE IN THE AMOUNT OF YOUNGER PLAYERS, LIKE THESE GIRLS, GETTING INVOLVED. MAIN FOCUS AT THE MOMENT HAS BEEN SECONDARY-SCHOOL GIRLS AND THEN THE UNDER-15 AGE GROUP. AND THEN WE'D LIKE TO TAKE IT INTO THE INTERMEDIATE AGE GROUP AS WELL. THESE YOUNG PLAYERS GOT A MOTIVATIONAL BOOST BY SEEING THE STARS AND THE SILVERWARE IN THE FLESH. LIVING THE BEST LIFESTYLE. JUST PLAYING WITH YOUR MATES ALL DAY. SOMETIMES BOYS THINK GIRLS ARE WAY WEAK, BUT WE'RE ACTUALLY NOT. YEAH. (LAUGHS) SO EXCUSE ME. THERE WAS A FAIR AMOUNT OF RUGGED PLAY TODAY AND A COUPLE OF BATTLE WOUNDS. THOUGH, AS OUR OLYMPIANS KNOW, INJURIES ARE ALL PART OF A LIFE IN SPORT. MARK HATHAWAY, ONE NEWS. SO SOME NETBALL PLAYERS CAN EARN UP TO 40-60, BUT GOING TO THE OLYMPICS IS PRICELESS. THREE FAMOUS FACES TONIGHT, WAITING TO TELL US ABOUT HOW THEY DAD. THEY ARE STANDING BY ` FATHERS, ALL FAMOUS FOR DIFFERENT REASONS, READY TO TELL US HOW THEY 'DAD'. THE WOMAN HAPPY TO LET STRANGERS IN HER CAR, ESPECIALLY IF IT MEANS THEY GET HOME SAFE FROM THE PUB. DROPPING ME OFF AT THE FRONT GATE AS I STUMBLE DOWN THE DRIVEWAY. SHE STAYS THERE AND KEEPS THE LIGHTS ON SO I DON'T WALK INTO THE FENCE. AND WE'RE LIVE FROM LOWER HUTT'S LITTLE HUTT OF HORRORS. BUT HOW DOES THIS HELP OUR KIWI KIDS? SEE YOU AT 7. GOOD EVENING. YOU MIGHT HAVE BIG PLANS FOR FATHER'S DAY SO DOES MOTHER NATURE. THERE WILL BE A BIT OF EVERYTHING THIS WEEKEND. SEE THAT THERE IS CLOUD SCATTERED ALL OVER THE PLACE. A LITTLE LOW IS COMING IN. THE WINDS ARE GOING TO EASE. SNOW ON MILFORD ROAD FOR THE NEXT FEW HOURS. THERE MIGHT BE A DUSTING OF SNOW TO THE SOUTH BY MORNING. THERE MAY BE SOME CLOUD AND SPOTS OF RAIN AROUND AUCKLAND AND WAIKATO. THERE ARE A FEW SHOWERS COMING IN. EASTERN AREAS ARE FINE. IT ISN'T A BAD DAY OVERALL. A FROSTY START DOWN SOUTH. THE DAY LOOKS FINE WITH SOME CLOUD TO THE WEST. FOR WEATHER, SEE ONENEWS.CO.NZ The weather will be decent for dad. Over to Seven Sharp now. A couple of hangers on tonight.
