How do you feel? With 11 seconds to go, that would have done it. That extra push-back would have given us another four seconds, maybe. Little disappointed, but it's been a fantastic experience. Really enjoyed it. Thanks very much. David? It's been a great day. You've played well, mate. Yeah. However, now have to take away the �28,000 and tell you, you have been caught and for you, the chase is over. Chaser? I said it was a funny old game, and you were better on the harder questions than the easier. I knew 14 was gonna be a testing total. I had to keep my concentration. A couple of zigs when I could have zagged, and if they'd got EastEnders may have been a different game. Indeed. There you are, the Chaser takes out my team with 11 seconds remaining. So close! Do you think you could take money from the Chaser? Come and have a go if you think you're clever enough. See you next time on The Chase. Goodbye.

In some places we have seen gusts in excess of 100 km/h. Rain in some places over 100 mm. But tomorrow is a better looking day. 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. BIGGER CLASS SIZES AND FEWER TEACHERS. ACTION BEGINS AS SCHOOL STAFF GET SET TO BATTLE A PROPOSED NEW FUNDING MODEL. HOW IT COULD AFFECT YOUR CHILDREN. NO MORE MINISTERIAL DUTIES FOR MP NIKKI KAYE AS SHE REVEALS A DEVASTATING DIAGNOSIS. FROM THE SLUMS OF KOLKATA TO SAINTHOOD. HUGE CROWDS TURN OUT TO HONOUR THE NUN WHO DEVOTED HER LIFE TO HELPING THE POOR. KIA ORA, GOOD EVENING. A NEW BATTLE'S LOOMING OVER HOW NZ CHILDREN GET THEIR EDUCATION. MORE STUDENTS IN CLASSES AND FEWER STAFF ARE JUST SOME OF THE WARNINGS FROM TEACHERS' UNIONS PLANNING TO FIGHT A CONTROVERSIAL FUNDING PROPOSAL. THE FIRST MEETING OF UNIONS REPRESENTING MORE THAN 60,000 TEACHERS TOOK PLACE IN AUCKLAND TODAY AND WILL CONTINUE RIGHT ACROSS THE COUNTRY FOR THE NEXT TWO WEEKS. THEY FEAR A CHANGED FUNDING STRUCTURE WILL BE BAD NEWS FOR THOSE SCHOOLS ALREADY AT TIPPING POINT. SAM KELWAY REPORTS. THERE IS CLASSROOM CHAOS AT CLENDON PARK SCHOOL. WE HAVE A BREAKOUT ROOM WHERE KIDS DO ART AND SCIENCE, THE SCHOOL LIBRARY, A DESIGNATED ESOL ROOM, A WHARE AND A WHARE KAI IN THE SCHOOL WHICH ARE BOTH BEING USED AS CLASSROOMS. AND TEACHERS AREN'T SPARED. THE SCHOOL STAFF ROOM BECOMES A CLASSROOM IN A FEW WEEKS' TIME, AND ONE PRINCIPAL HAS HAD ENOUGH. THE MINISTRY DON'T INTEND TO PUT ANYMORE MONEY INTO EDUCATION. THAT FUNDING ISSUE WAS HIGHLIGHTED TODAY AS THOUSANDS OF TEACHING STAFF ARRIVED AT THE AUCKLAND TOWN HALL. IT'S ABOUT HAVING CLASS SIZES THAT ARE APPROPRIATE, IT'S ABOUT HAVING A BROAD CURRICULUM AND ABOUT US AS A PROFESSION BEING ABLE TO RESPOND TO THE NEEDS OF OUR STUDENTS. EARLIER THIS YEAR THE GOVERNMENT DRAFTED SEVEN PROPOSALS, ONE OF WHICH TRIGGERED ALARM BELLS FOR TEACHERS. CURRENTLY THERE'S A FORMULA THAT GUARANTEES A MINIMUM NUMBER OF TEACHERS FOR EACH SCHOOL, BUT THE GOVERNMENT'S PROPOSED TO REMOVE THAT GUARANTEE AND INSTEAD HAVE A GLOBAL BUDGET ` SIMPLY, A POOL OF MONEY AVAILABLE FOR SCHOOLS TO SPEND EACH YEAR. IT'S PUSHING BIG DECISIONS INTO THE BOARDS OF TRUSTEES AND ON TO PRINCIPALS' SHOULDERS WHEN ACTUALLY IT'S THE GOVERNMENT'S JOB TO PROVIDE EDUCATION FOR OUR NATION'S CHILDREN. THE UNIONS FEAR MONEY ALLOCATED FOR TEACHERS AND SUPPORT STAFF WILL BE SUCKED UP BY OTHER THINGS, SUCH AS BUILDING REFURBISHMENTS, SCHOOL RESOURCES OR EVEN LAWN MOWERS. THE GOVERNMENT SAYS THE CURRENT WAY OF FUNDING NEEDS A SHAKE-UP. WE'VE BEEN TALKING FOR QUITE SOME TIME THAT THE DECILE APPROACH IS WELL INTENDED BUT A BLUNT INSTRUMENT, AND WE HAVE FAR MORE DATA NOW THAT ALLOWS US TO TARGET. 60,000 TEACHING STAFF WILL HOLD 50 MEETINGS ACROSS THE COUNTRY THIS MONTH. AND WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE A GOOD LINE OF SIGHT BETWEEN WHAT'S BEEN PUT IN AND THE RESULTS WE ARE GETTING FOR ALL NZ CHILDREN, WHILE THOSE ON THE FRONT LINE HAVE A BLUNT MESSAGE FOR THE GOVERNMENT. I DON'T SEE OTHER GOVERNMENT AGENCIES HAVING CAKE STALLS OUTSIDE THEIR PREMISES. AND WHILE SCHOOLS GRAPPLE WITH BALANCING THE BOOKS, FOR PARENTS OF SPECIAL NEEDS KIDS THE BATTLE CAN BE SIMPLY KEEPING THEIR CHILDREN AT SCHOOL FOR THE DAY. A REPORT RELEASED TODAY SAYS MANY SPECIAL NEEDS KIDS ARE STRUGGLING AT SCHOOL AND THE GOVERNMENT MUST DO MORE. MATTHEW BULL LEARNS BEST THROUGH PICTURES. BUT THAT'S NOT ALWAYS EASY IN A CONVENTIONAL CLASSROOM. WELL DONE! MATTHEW HAS AUTISM. HIS DAD, DARRIN BULL, SAYS THAT'S CAUSED PROBLEMS WITH HIS EDUCATION. AND WHILE THE SCHOOL DOES THE BEST WITH WHAT THEY'VE GOT, THEY'VE HAD TO LOOK ELSEWHERE. WE'VE HAD TO GO PRIVATELY TO SEEK HELP WITH REMEDIAL READING AND SPEECH THERAPY, HOW TO HOLD A PENCIL AND ALL OF THAT. IT COULD BE DONE THROUGH THE SCHOOLS IF THE SCHOOLS HAD THE RESOURCES TO DO THAT. AND A NEW REPORT OUT TODAY SHOWS IT'S NOT ONE SIZE FITS ALL FOR CHILDREN WITH SPECIAL NEEDS. A QUARTER OF CHILDREN WITH DISABILITIES DON'T GET ENOUGH HELP WITH THEIR SCHOOLWORK. ONE IN FIVE STRUGGLES TO ATTEND A WHOLE SCHOOL DAY. AND 11% HAVE HAD TO CHANGE SCHOOLS. THE REPORT SAYS THEY ALSO HAVE TO FACE ISSUES LIKE BEING EXCLUDED FROM EXTRA-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES, TEACHERS NOT BEING PROPERLY TRAINED, NOT RECEIVING ENOUGH SUPPORT, AND BULLYING. YOUTH LAW SAYS MANY CHILDREN WITH SPECIAL NEEDS ARE BEING DENIED A FULL EDUCATION. ULTIMATELY, IT'S THE FACT THAT FUNDING DOESN'T SUPPORT NEED, THAT THERE IS THIS HUGE LEVEL OF NEED. IT RECOMMENDS MAKING IT SIMPLER FOR PARENTS TO TELL SCHOOLS WHAT THEIR CHILD'S NEEDS ARE. THERE ISN'T GOING TO BE AN INCREASE TO FUNDING FOR THE TIME BEING, SO WE CAN EXPECT THE SITUATION FOR CHILDREN IN THIS CASE WILL BE WORSE DOWN THE TRACK. EDUCATION MINISTER HEKIA PARATA SAYS THE GOVERNMENT SPENDS $590M A YEAR ON SPECIAL NEEDS EDUCATION. BUT SHE AGREES THE CURRENT SYSTEM DOESN'T WORK FOR EVERY FAMILY, AND THAT'S WHY A REVIEW IS CURRENTLY UNDERWAY. DARRIN BULL WELCOMES THE REPORT AND HOPES THE GOVERNMENT TAKES SOME OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS ON BOARD... WE WANT MATT TO HAVE THE BEST EDUCATION THAT IS POSSIBLE. ...TO HELP CHILDREN LIKE MATTHEW REACH THEIR FULL POTENTIAL. EMILY COOPER, ONE NEWS. CABINET MINISTER NIKKI KAYE HAS BREAST CANCER AND WILL TAKE IMMEDIATE LEAVE FROM PARLIAMENT FOR TREATMENT. THE 36-YEAR-OLD SAID IT WAS 'DEVASTATING NEWS' FOR HER AND HER FAMILY. PRIME MINISTER JOHN KEY SAID SHE WAS UNDERGOING FURTHER TESTS THIS WEEK. NIKKI'S YOUNG, SHE'S VERY FIT AND SHE'S EXTREMELY DETERMINED AND SHE'S A FIGHTER, SO I'M SURE SHE'S GOING TO GET THROUGH THIS AND WILL BE BACK WITH US. BUT SHE'S LIKELY TO BE AWAY FOR A PERIOD OF TIME MEASURED MORE IN THE MONTHS THAN THE WEEKS. HER YOUTH, CIVIL DEFENCE AND ACC PORTFOLIOS HAVE BEEN ALLOCATED TO CABINET COLLEAGUES WHILE SHE IS ABSENT. BUT LEAVING PARLIAMENT FOR GOOD IS GREEN MP KEVIN HAGUE, WHO'S STANDING DOWN NEXT MONTH AFTER EIGHT YEARS. THE SAME-SEX MARRIAGE CHAMPION IS STARTING A NEW JOB AS CHIEF EXECUTIVE OF THE NOT-FOR-PROFIT CONSERVATION ORGANISATION 'FOREST AND BIRD'. THE WEST-COAST-BASED MP WILL BE REPLACED BY EX-OXFAM BOSS BARRY COATES, WHO IS NEXT ON THE PARTY'S LIST. A WITNESS IN THE GEORGE TAIAROA MURDER TRIAL HAS GIVEN EVIDENCE ABOUT AN ENCOUNTER WITH THE ACCUSED, DESCRIBING IT AS 'SCARY'. QUINTON WINDERS DENIES KILLING THE ROAD WORKER AT A TRAFFIC STOP NEAR ATIAMURI IN 2013. THE DEFENCE OPENED ITS CASE THIS MORNING. HELEN CASTLES REPORTS FROM ROTORUA. GIVING EVIDENCE BY VIDEO LINK, DEFENCE WITNESS AARON JANE DESCRIBED EVENTS AFTER A HUNTING EXPEDITION WITH A FRIEND ON QUINTON WINDERS' PROPERTY IN 2012. HE SAYS WINDERS TURNED UP YELLING AND ACCUSING THEM OF SHOOTING HIS GOATS. WE SAW A GUN ON HIS LAP. SO STRAIGHT AWAY, WE` WELL, I DENIED ANYTHING TO DO WITH IT, JUST... ANYONE, KIND OF, WHO KNOWS QUIN, HE'S PRETTY UNPREDICTABLE, I GUESS. AND DID THAT FRIGHTEN YOU? YEAH. YUP. JUST TWO OF THE WITNESSES CALLED BY THE DEFENCE. SIGHTINGS OF A BLUE JEEP CHEROKEE THE FOCUS OF MUCH OF THE TESTIMONY. AHEAD OF ME, IT WAS A DARK-COLOURED JEEP ` NO LIGHTS ON, NO NOTHING. I COULDN'T HEAR IT EITHER, BECAUSE I WAS STANDING RIGHT BESIDE MY TRUCK. AND I CAN REMEMBER MY HAIR ALL STOOD UP ON THE BACK OF MY NECK. A WITNESS GAVE EVIDENCE ABOUT A MYSTERY MAN NEAR THE SCENE OF THE KILLING. ANOTHER GAVE A DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF A JEEP DRIVER. THERE WERE TWO PEOPLE IN THE CAR IN THE FRONT SEATS. THE DRIVER WAS A VERY LARGE MAORI MAN. AND WHEN I SAY LARGE, NOT FAT, BUT VERY LARGE. HE EITHER HAD A HOODIE ON OR LONG BUSHY HAIR THAT TOUCHED HIS SHOULDER BLADES. HE WAS THE DRIVER. THE DEFENCE CHURNED THROUGH ITS WITNESS LIST, CALLING ALL NINE PEOPLE IN LESS THAN A DAY, SOME TAKING THE STAND FOR NO MORE THAN FIVE MINUTES. BOTH THE CROWN AND DEFENCE WILL PRESENT THEIR CLOSING ARGUMENTS TOMORROW, WITH THE CASE SET TO WRAP UP ON WEDNESDAY. HELEN CASTLES, ONE NEWS. 'HOMELESSNESS GOT WORSE UNDER OUR WATCH,' THE GOVERNMENT TODAY ADMITTED. IT COMES AS OPPOSITION PARTIES WRAPPED UP THEIR OWN INQUIRY INTO THE PROBLEM, WITH HARROWING STORIES OF LIFE ON THE STREET. AS POLITICAL REPORTER KATIE BRADFORD EXPLAINS, ONE MP EVEN HAD A TALE OF HER OWN. TWO WELLINGTON MOTHERS IN TEARS AS THEY TELL MPs OF THE DAILY STRUGGLE OF FINDING SOMEWHERE TO LIVE. PRETENDING THAT I CAN'T SEE THE BAD WEATHER OUTSIDE, SENDING MY SON TO WALK TO SCHOOL IN WHAT SORT OF WEATHER ` RAIN, COLD OR WARM OR WHATEVER ` AND TRYING TO SAVE THE $4 A DAY TO MAKE UP THE RENT BY THE END OF THE WEEK. SOLO MUM SARAH FEARS FOR HER LIFE AND THAT OF HER FIVE CHILDREN AFTER FLEEING FROM A VIOLENT MARRIAGE. EVEN THOUGH WE'RE IN DANGER, HE HAS PROMISED TO COME AND KILL US. WE CAN'T GET INTO A HOUSE AT THE MOMENT, SO WE JUST HAVE TO STAY THERE COS IT'S BETTER THAN MAKING THE KIDS GO BACK TO LIVING IN THE CAR. THE FAMILY HAVE ALSO LIVED IN GARAGES AND SQUASHED INTO ONE BEDROOM. IT MEANS MY KIDS HAVE BEEN REALLY SICK A LOT. WE'VE ALL HAD PNEUMONIA. ONE OF MY SONS ALMOST DIED FROM PNEUMONIA. OVERWORKED WELLINGTON SOCIAL WORKERS SAY THEY ARE NOW SUFFERING FROM COMPASSION FATIGUE AS THEY STRUGGLE TO FIND PLACES TO HOUSE PEOPLE. I LIKEN IT TO BEING A BIT LIKE BEING A MEDIC IN A WAR ZONE WITH NO SUPPLIES. NOW THE INQUIRY IS OVER, OPPOSITION MPs WILL NOW WRITE A REPORT, BUT THE GOVERNMENT REFUSED TO BE INVOLVED IN THIS INQUIRY, AND WITHOUT THEIR SUPPORT, THE FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS WILL GO NOWHERE FOR NOW. WE ARE PREPARED TO HAVE A LONG-TERM PLAN TO ABSOLUTELY END HOMELESSNESS AND FIX THE HOUSING CRISIS. THE SOCIAL HOUSING MINISTER ADMITS THE HOUSING CRISIS HAS WORSENED UNDER HER GOVERNMENT'S WATCH. CERTAINLY, I CAN ACCEPT THERE ARE MORE AT THE CHRONIC HOMELESS END AND ALSO THOSE IN LOWER INCOMES OR ON BENEFITS ARE CERTAINLY FEELING THE EFFECTS. AND ONE INQUIRY MEMBER'S TAKEN THE CRISIS INTO HER OWN HANDS, OFFERING A HOMELESS WOMAN A BED IN HER OWN HOME. IF I SAID 'NO, SORRY ABOUT IT,' SHE'D BE SLEEPING ON THE STREET TODAY. BUT WITH SO MANY OTHER STILL HOMELESS, IT WILL TAKE MORE THAN A SINGLE ACT OF KINDNESS TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM. KATIE BRADFORD, ONE NEWS. AND EVIDENCE IS EMERGING OF HOMELESSNESS BLEEDING OUT TO BLEEDING OUT TO SMALLER TOWNS. RISING HOUSE PRICES IN AUCKLAND ARE HAVING A KNOCK-ON EFFECT ON OTHER AREAS. YVONNE TAHANA VISITED A RURAL COMMUNITY IN WAIKATO. WELCOME TO TE AROHA, PRETTY AS A PICTURE. BUT SOME LIVING IN THE SHADOW OF THIS MOUNTAIN JUST CAN'T FIND A HOME. IT'S A BIT STRESSFUL. YOU DON'T HAVE ALL YOUR OWN BELONGINGS. EVERYTHING'S IN STORAGE. YOU'RE JUST LIVING OUT OF A SUITCASE. CHRIS LIVES AT THIS LODGE. HE DOESN'T WANT TO BE IDENTIFIED. HE SAYS HE'S DOING IT TOUGH, LIKE AROUND 20 OTHERS WHO LIVE HERE. MOST ARE EMPLOYED IN RURAL INDUSTRIES. CHRIS WORKS AT A PIGGERY AND EARNS $1000 A WEEK BUT STILL CAN'T GET A FOOT IN THE RENTAL MARKET. THE WAITING LISTS ARE CRAZY. I'M ON EVERY SINGLE ONE IN TOWN, AND, YEAH, PROBABLY SO IS EVERYONE ELSE LOOKING FOR A HOUSE. THE LACK OF HOUSING STOCK BECAME NOTICEABLE ABOUT A YEAR AGO. WE HAVE PEOPLE LIVING IN THEIR CARS. WE KNOW THAT. IT'S NOT A HUGE PROBLEM, BUT IT IS THERE AND UNFORTUNATELY, THE SOCIAL ISSUES THAT ARE IN BIG CITIES ARE ALSO TRICKLING DOWN NOW INTO THE SMALLER TOWNS. REAL ESTATE AGENTS BLAME THE RIPPLE EFFECT. CASHED-UP AUCKLANDERS PUSH OUT THE LOCALS IN HAMILTON AND TAURANGA, WHO ARE NOW TURNING TO TE AROHA, SHRINKING THE RENTAL POOL. PROBABLY GOT TWO PROPERTIES THAT I KNOW OF COMING UP THIS MONTH, AND I KNOW I'VE GOT TWO FOR NEXT MONTH. IT'S PRETTY HARD TO GET RENTALS, SO THE DEMAND'S HIGH. THERE AREN'T ANY HOUSING NZ HOMES AVAILABLE HERE EITHER. OF THE 174 IN THE DISTRICT, FIVE ARE FOR SALE AND ONE IS METH CONTAMINATED. CHRIS SAYS HE'S DRIVEN DOWN EVERY COUNTRY ROAD WITHIN 20K'S OF TE AROHA. THERE'S A LOT OF EMPTY FARMHOUSES OUT THERE, BUT PEOPLE JUST DON'T WANT TO RENT THEM OUT. STILL SEARCHING FOR A HOME, THIS BOARDING HOUSE IS A LAST RESORT. YVONNE TAHANA, ONE NEWS. POLICE HAVE ARRESTED A MAN IN RELATION TO THE THEFT OF TENS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS' WORTH OF EXPENSIVE FRENCH WINE. ABOUT 30 CASES WERE ALLEGEDLY TAKEN FROM THIS STORAGE UNIT IN BLENHEIM LAST WEEK, AS WELL AS A TRAILER LOAD OF FIREWOOD. POLICE SAY THEY'VE RECOVERED A SMALL AMOUNT OF WINE. THEY'VE FOUND SIX BOTTLES; SOMEONE'S GOT SIX BOTTLES, AND THEY'RE DEFINITELY OURS. ONE OF THEM IS A GERMAN RIESLING THAT WAS NEVER EVEN IMPORTED INTO NZ. YOU'D HAVE TO GO TO THE WINERY AND BUY IT AND BRING IT BACK, SO IT'S PRETTY EXCITING. IT'S A GOOD START. THE WINERY USED THE TOP-SHELF WINE AS A REFERENCE GUIDE WHEN MAKING NEW PRODUCT. THE BIZARRE MYSTERY OF THE AUSTRALIAN FAMILY WHO WENT ON AN UNEXPLAINED ROAD TRIP'S TAKEN ANOTHER TWIST. DAUGHTER ELLA TROMP'S NOW BEEN CHARGED WITH A STEALING A CAR. FATHER MARK TROMP, THE LAST OF THE FAMILY TO BE FOUND, IS TONIGHT BEING LOOKED AFTER BY RELATIVES. MANY QUESTIONS REMAIN ABOUT THE FAMILY'S STRANGE INTERSTATE JOURNEY. AUSTRALIA CORRESPONDENT RUTH WYNN-WILLIAMS HAS MORE. MARK TROMP WASN'T HAPPY TO BE PICKED UP AFTER FIVE DAYS ON THE RUN, BUT WHAT THE FATHER OF FOUR THOUGHT HE WAS RUNNING FROM AND WHY HAS LEFT AUTHORITIES AND EVEN THOSE CLOSEST TO HIM STUMPED. THERE'S NOTHING THAT I KNOW FOR SURE. BUT THERE IS POSSIBLE THINGS. I THINK OUR STATE OF MINDS WASN'T IN THE BEST PLACE. A WEEK AGO THE VICTORIAN BERRY FARMER (51) AND HIS WIFE, JACOBA, DROPPED EVERYTHING, HUSTLED THEIR THREE ADULT CHILDREN INTO A CAR, FLED THEIR HOME IN SILVAN, EAST OF MELBOURNE, AND TOOK OFF TOWARDS NEW SOUTH WALES. I WANTED TO SEE WHERE THEY WERE GOIN'. THE NEXT DAY MITCHELL, WHO'D BEEN FORCED TO THROW HIS MOBILE PHONE OUT THE CAR WINDOW, LEFT THE GROUP NEAR BATHURST AND MADE HIS WAY BACK TO MELBOURNE. LATER THAT DAY SISTERS RIANA AND ELLA WOULD ALSO LEAVE. ELLA MADE IT HOME, BUT RIANA WAS FOUND IN A 'CATATONIC' STATE ON THE SIDE OF A GOULBURN ROAD, MORE THAN TWO HOURS SOUTH-WEST OF SYDNEY. BY WEDNESDAY THE FAMILY'S CAR WAS FOUND ABANDONED IN WANGARATTA. ON THURSDAY A 'DAZED' JACOBA TROMP WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL HOSPITAL AFTER BEING SPOTTED BY A PASSER-BY, BUT IT TOOK TWO MORE DAYS BEFORE FATHER MARK WAS PICKED UP WANDERING NEAR WANGARATTA AIRPORT. HE'S NOW IN THE CARE OF RELATIVES AND HAS SPOKEN WITH HIS KIDS. POLICE ARE CONSIDERING THE POSSIBILITY THE WHOLE FAMILY WAS SUFFERING FROM A PSYCHOTIC EPISODE WHICH LEFT THEM FEARING FOR THEIR LIVES. MRS TROMP AND DAUGHTER RIANA ARE NOW IN PSYCHIATRIC CARE. MARK TROMP'S CHILDREN ARE CALLING THE WHOLE BIZARRE JOURNEY A 'FAMILY MATTER' AND SAY THEIR FATHER WILL SOON RETURN HOME. RUTH WYNN-WILLIAMS, ONE NEWS, SYDNEY. STILL TO COME ` THE BREAKTHROUGH IN THE DECADES-OLD COLD CASE INVOLVING A MISSING BOY IN MINNESOTA. AHEAD, DETAILS ON WHAT LED POLICE TO A DISTURBING DISCOVERY. AND DONALD TRUMP'S PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN GOES OFF TO CHURCH. THE REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE TRIES TO FIND THE RHYTHM AS HE PLEADS FOR THE AFRICAN AMERICAN VOTE. AND LONDON'S BURNING AGAIN. AN HISTORICAL REPLICA IS SET ALIGHT IN A BLAZING SPECTACLE TO REMEMBER THE GREAT FIRE OF 1666. A 28-YEAR-OLD COLD CASE MAY BE ABOUT TO BE SOLVED IN AMERICA'S MIDWEST AFTER REMAINS WERE FOUND NEAR WHERE A YOUNG BOY WENT MISSING. JACOB WETTERLING (11) WENT MISSING IN 1989. NOW A SEX OFFENDER HAS GIVEN POLICE VITAL CLUES FROM HIS JAIL CELL. ABC'S GLORIA RIVIERA WITH THIS. TONIGHT A MAJOR BREAK IN THE CASE OF JACOB WETTERLING NEARLY 28 YEARS SINCE HE VANISHED. AUTHORITIES CONFIRMED THE 11-YEAR-OLD'S REMAINS HAVE BEEN FOUND. MY PRAYERS AND THOUGHTS ARE WITH THAT FAMILY. THE FAMILY ACTUALLY NEEDS PEACE. I MEAN, TO KNOW WHERE HE IS, NOT TO WONDER IS HE STILL OUT THERE. THE FAMILY RELEASED A STATEMENT SAYING THEY ARE IN 'DEEP GRIEF' AND DID NOT 'WANT JACOB'S STORY TO END THIS WAY'. LAST WEEK, AN 11-YEAR-OLD BOY NAMED JACOB WETTERLING WAS KIDNAPPED FROM THE STREETS OF ST JOSEPH, MINNESOTA. JACOB'S STORY CAPTURED THE NATION'S ATTENTION. IT'S VERY DISCOURAGING. MORNINGS ARE, I THINK, THE WORST FOR ME. IT'S, LIKE, ANOTHER` ANOTHER DAY. IT WAS 1989 IN ST JOSEPH, MINNESOTA WHEN A MASKED GUNMAN ABDUCTED JACOB, WHO WAS RIDING HIS BIKE HOME FROM THE VIDEO STORE WITH HIS BROTHER AND A FRIEND. SINCE THEN, COURT DOCUMENTS SHOW INVESTIGATORS QUESTIONED THIS MAN, DANIEL HEINRICH, IN CONNECTION TO SEVERAL CHILD SEX ASSAULT CASES IN MINNESOTA. HE'S CURRENTLY IN JAIL ON CHILD PORNOGRAPHY CHARGES, WHICH HE DENIES. ABC NEWS AFFILIATE KSTP REPORTED IT WAS HEINRICH WHO LED AUTHORITIES TO JACOB'S REMAINS. HIS STATUS HAS NOW CHANGED FROM 'PERSON OF INTEREST' TO 'SUSPECT'. IN 1994, JACOB'S FAMILY HELPED TO PASS THE SO-CALLED "JACOB'S LAW", A REQUIREMENT FOR SEX OFFENDERS TO REGISTER IN EVERY STATE. TO THE RACE TO BECOME THE NEXT US PRESIDENT, AND REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE DONALD TRUMP IS TRYING TO INCREASE HIS APPEAL TO AFRICAN AMERICAN VOTERS. HE'S ATTENDED A PREDOMINANTLY BLACK CHURCH SERVICE, EVEN BUSTING OUT SOME DANCE MOVES. ABC'S MARY BRUCE HAS THE LATEST FROM THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL. DONALD TRUMP MARKING A MAJOR FIRST,... I AM HERE TO LISTEN TO YOU. ...SWAYING ALONG AT A DETROIT CHURCH SERVICE SATURDAY AS HE MADE THAT RARE DIRECT APPEAL TO AFRICAN AMERICAN VOTERS. I FULLY UNDERSTAND THAT THE AFRICAN AMERICAN COMMUNITY HAS SUFFERED FROM DISCRIMINATION AND THAT THERE ARE MANY WRONGS THAT MUST STILL BE MADE RIGHT. TRUMP DEBUTING A MORE SUBDUED TONE AFTER HIS FIERY APPEALS IN FRONT OF NEARLY ALL-WHITE CROWDS. I'M ASKING FOR THE VOTE OF EVERY SINGLE AFRICAN AMERICAN CITIZEN. YOU'RE LIVING IN POVERTY, YOUR SCHOOLS ARE NO GOOD, YOU HAVE NO JOBS. WHAT THE HELL DO YOU HAVE TO LOSE? TRUMP'S SUPPORTER SENATOR BEN CARSON SHOWING HIM AROUND HIS OLD DETROIT NEIGHBOURHOOD. WHEN I WAS GROWING UP, IT WAS A VERY PROSPEROUS CITY. CARSON'S MEMORIES OF THE OLD DAYS INTERRUPTED BY THIS BIZARRE MOMENT. MY LUGGAGE. UH... HOLD ON. OK. MEANWHILE, TRUMP'S MOST VOCAL AFRICAN AMERICAN BACKER, PASTOR MARK BURNS, IS ADMITTING HE OVERSTATED HIS RESUME AFTER THIS CONTENTIOUS INTERVIEW. THANK YOU SO MUCH. I REALLY APPRECIATE YOU COMING. AS FOR HILLARY CLINTON, SHE'S BEEN NOTICEABLY QUIET ON THE TRAIL, FUNDRAISING WITH BIG DONORS AND CELEBRITIES INSTEAD, AND STILL AVOIDING THE PRESS. IS THIS GOING TO CHANGE? ALL THE TIME AS HILLARY'S OUT ON THE TRAIL, SHE'S TALKING TO THE PRESS, 100S OF INTERVIEWS. I'M DOING THE SAME. THE LABOR DAY TO ELECTION DAY STRETCH, IT'S GONNA RAMP UP EVEN MORE. AND DONALD TRUMP HAS CAUGHT UP TO HILLARY CLINTON IN THE LATEST POLLS, WITH JUST OVER TWO MONTHS LEFT UNTIL THE VOTE ON NOVEMBER THE 8TH. A UKRAINIAN TV STATION HAS BEEN FORCED TO BROADCAST FROM OUTSIDE ITS OWN BUILDING AFTER IT CAUGHT FIRE AND WAS TARGETED BY PROTESTERS. EVACUEES FROM THE BUILDING WERE MET BY A DEMONSTRATORS BURNING TYRES. THE STATION IS REGARDED AS HAVING PRO-RUSSIA SENTIMENTS, BUT THE AFFILIATION OF THE PROTESTERS WASN'T IMMEDIATELY KNOWN. IT'S BELIEVED A SMOKE BOMB CAUSED THE FIRE, AND POLICE MADE SEVERAL ARRESTS. A GIANT WOODEN REPLICA OF THE 17TH CENTURY LONDON SKYLINE HAS BEEN BURNED TO ASHES TO MARK THE DEVASTATING GREAT FIRE OF LONDON. IT'S 350 YEARS SINCE THE ORIGINAL FIRE BEGAN IN A BAKERY IN 1666. THE FIRE DESTROYED 80% OF THE CITY AND LEFT UP TO 80,000 HOMELESS. REMARKABLY, FEWER THAN 10 PEOPLE DIED FROM THE FLAMES. THE 120M LONG SCULPTURE WAS DESIGNED BY AMERICAN ARTIST DAVID BEST. THE GIANT PANDA, THE FACE OF CONSERVATION EFFORTS FOR DECADES, IS NO LONGER ON THE ENDANGERED LIST. THE PANDA HAS BEEN DOWNGRADED FROM ENDANGERED TO VULNERABLE ON THE GLOBAL LIST OF SPECIES AT RISK OF EXTINCTION. THE POPULATION'S RISEN 17% IN THE DECADE UP TO 2014, SUCCESS CONSERVATIONISTS ATTRIBUTE TO SCIENCE, POLITICAL WILL AND THE ENGAGEMENT OF LOCAL COMMUNITIES. IN CONTRAST, THE WORLD'S BIGGEST PRIMATE, THE EASTERN GORILLA, IS NOW CLASSIFIED AS CRITICALLY ENDANGERED DUE TO POACHING. DAN IS HERE, AND SOME GOOD HONEST SPRING WEATHER TODAY. A BIT OF EVERYTHING. EXACTLY. Some lovely colours this morning. That always means trouble. That was the case. 19 YEARS AFTER HER DEATH, A CATHOLIC NUN BECOMES THE WORLD'S NEWEST SAINT. HUGE CROWDS DESCEND ON THE VATICAN TO CELEBRATE A LIFE LIVED HELPING THE POOR. BY INVITATION OF THE POPE, THE POP STAR MAKING HER OWN TRIBUTE ` # WHO, LAID TO REST, LOOKING AT OUR TOP STORIES TONIGHT ` OUR TWO BIGGEST UNIONS ARE JOINING FORCES TO BLOCK A PROPOSAL THAT COULD RESULT IN FEWER TEACHERS AND LARGER CLASS SIZES. UNDER THE GLOBAL FUNDING PROPOSAL, THE UNIONS FEAR MONEY ALLOCATED FOR TEACHERS AND SUPPORT STAFF WILL BE SUCKED UP BY OTHER COSTS, LIKE BUILDING REFURBISHMENTS AND SCHOOL SUPPLIES. SOCIAL HOUSING MINISTER PAULA BENNETT HAS ADMITTED THE COUNTRY'S HOMELESS PROBLEM HAS WORSENED UNDER HER WATCH. OVERWORKED SOCIAL WORKERS SAY THEY'RE SUFFERING FROM COMPASSION FATIGUE AS THEY STRUGGLE TO FIND PLACES TO HOUSE PEOPLE. THERE'S BEEN A LAST-DITCH ATTEMPT TO HALT DEMOLITION OF A DOC VISITOR CENTRE AT TE UREWERA. WORK STARTED TODAY ON THE CONTROVERSIAL PROJECT, AND IT'S SET TO TAKE SIX TO EIGHT WEEKS, BUT THE NZ INSTITUTE OF ARCHITECTS IS APPEALING TO THE AUDITOR GENERAL AND THE OMBUDSMAN, SAYING DOC HASN'T FOLLOWED THE RIGHT PROCESS. AND A SMALL BUT HISTORIC STEP FORWARD IN THE CHRISTCHURCH REBUILD TODAY WITH THE OFFICIAL REOPENING OF THE OLDEST WOODEN BRIDGE SURVIVING IN THE CITY. THE HELMORE'S LANE BRIDGE IN LITTLE HAGLEY PARK WAS BUILT 150 YEARS AGO TO ALLOW STOCK TO BE MOVED TO THE RICCARTON MARKET STOCK YARDS. SO THE HELMORE'S LANE BRIDGE IS NOW OPEN. APPLAUSE AS WELL AS THE OCCASIONAL SHEEP, THE REPAIRED BRIDGE IS ONLY OPEN TO CYCLE AND FOOT TRAFFIC. FOR MANY, MOTHER TERESA HAS ALWAYS BEEN A SAINT, BUT NOW IT'S OFFICIAL. IN FRONT OF MORE THAN 100,000 PEOPLE IN ST PETER'S SQUARE, THE POPE DECLARED HER SAINT TERESA OF KOLKATA. THE BBC'S CAROLINE WYATT WAS THERE. MOTHER TERESA'S FACE BEAMED OUT OVER ST PETER'S SQUARE, WHERE THE FAITHFUL GATHERED FROM EARLY THIS MORNING. AMONG THEM, MANY NUNS FROM THE MISSIONARIES OF CHARITY, THE ORDER SHE FOUNDED IN 1950 WITH JUST 12 FOLLOWERS. (SPEAKS ITALIAN) POPE FRANCIS PRAISED THE EXAMPLE SET BY MOTHER TERESA TO ALL CHRISTIANS AS HE DECLARED THE BLESSED TERESA OF CALCUTTA A SAINT TO BE VENERATED BY THE WHOLE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH. MAJESTIC MUSIC PLAYS LATER, THE POPE SAID ST TERESA'S MISSION SERVING THE POOR AND THE SICK, THE ELDERLY AND THE UNWANTED WAS A WAY OF SHINING A LIGHT INTO THE DARKNESS AND SHOWING DIVINE MERCY HERE ON EARTH. RHYTHMIC DRUMMING THE JOY IS STILL VIVID FOR MONICA BESRA, THE WOMAN FROM WEST BENGAL WHO SET MOTHER TERESA ON THE PATH TO SAINTHOOD. SUFFERING FROM A STOMACH TUMOUR, SHE PRAYED TO MOTHER TERESA TO INTERCEDE ON HER BEHALF, AND CLAIMS THAT, IN A MIRACLE, SHE WAS HEALED. (SPEAKS BENGALI) TRANSLATOR: IT WAS THE ANNIVERSARY OF MOTHER TERESA'S DEATH, AND THE MEDICINE HADN'T WORKED. BUT I HAD FAITH INSIDE. I PRAYED, AND OVERNIGHT I WAS CURED. EVEN 19 YEARS AFTER HER DEATH, ST TERESA REMAINS AN INSTANTLY RECOGNISABLE FIGURE FOR HER LIFE'S WORK IN THE SLUMS OF CALCUTTA, WHERE SHE SET UP HER HOSPICE FOR THE DYING. IT'S WORK THAT CONTINUES TO INSPIRE MANY HERE TODAY. SHE WAS A SAINT BEFORE THIS HUMAN STAMP WAS GIVEN TO HER. SHE WAS A SAINT WELL BEFORE THAT. ST TERESA'S CRITICS SAY HER HOSPICES WERE UNHYGIENIC AND THAT SHE TOOK MONEY FROM DICTATORS FOR HER CHARITY. HER SUPPORTERS SUGGEST THOSE CRITICS SHOULD SHOW THE SAME LOVE AND MERCY IN THEIR OWN LIVES AS THEY SAY ST TERESA DID IN HERS. AND THE POP STAR RITA ORA WAS INVITED BY THE POPE TO PERFORM AT THE CELEBRATIONS FOR THE CANONISATION. RITA ORA IS A FORMER REFUGEE FROM KOSOVO AND WAS CHOSEN TO SING BECAUSE MOTHER TERESA WAS HERSELF BORN IN KOSOVAN TERRITORY. HERE SHE IS BACKED BY THE KOSOVO PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRA. # WHAT CHILD IS THIS, # WHO, LAID TO REST, # ON MARY'S LAP # IS SLEEPING? # WHOM ANGELS GREET # WITH ANTHEMS SWEET, # WHILE SHEPHERDS # WATCH ARE KEEPING? (PLAYS VIOLIN) BIG UPSET AT THE U.S. TENNIS OPEN. RAFA IS OUT OF THE TOURNAMENT THE GUY HE LOST TO HAD TWO FIVE-SET MATCHES LEADING UP TO THIS, MEANING HE WAS PROBABLY A BIT KNACKERED. BRILLIANT EFFORT. AND SPEAKING OF TOP EFFORTS, OUR ATHLETES ARE GETTING THINGS DONE AROUND THE WORLD, FROM BURGHLEY TO NEW YORK TO ITALY. THE ARGENTINIAN RUGBY TEAM ARRIVED TODAY, HOPING TO BOWL OVER THE ABs THIS SATURDAY. MEANWHILE, THE ALL BLACKS ARE ONCE AGAIN DEALING WITH ACCUSATIONS OF OFFICIAL BIAS. IT'S WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU'RE THAT GOOD. KIA ORA, WELCOME BACK TO SPORT. TWO-TIME U.S. OPEN CHAMPION RAFAEL NADAL HAS BECOME THE BIGGEST CASUALTY AT THIS YEAR'S TOURNAMENT, THE WORLD NUMBER FIVE BEATEN BY A YOUNG FRENCHMAN WHO'S HAD A METEORIC RISE. LUCAS POUILLE BOOKED HIMSELF A SPOT IN HIS SECOND STRAIGHT GRAND SLAM QUARTER-FINAL WITH A WIN IN THE FOUR-HOUR CLASSIC. ABBY WILSON REPORTS. JUST OVER A YEAR AGO LUCAS POUILLE WASN'T EVEN IN THE TOP 100. TODAY HE DESERVEDLY CLAIMED HIS FIRST TOP-FIVE SCALP. WHAT A MAGNIFICENT PERFORMANCE. IT WAS THE 22-YEAR-OLD'S THIRD STRAIGHT FIVE-SETTER, BUT AFTER BATTLING BACK FROM A BREAKDOWN IN THE FIFTH, HE WAS THE ONE WITH THE ENERGY AND AGGRESSION IN THE TIEBREAK. UNBELIEVABLE. WITH POUILLE IN CONTROL 6-3, IT LOOKED LIKE THE FANS' WAIT FOR THE DELAYED EVENING SESSION WOULD SOON BE OVER. NADAL HAD OTHER IDEAS. CROWD ROARS, APPLAUSE AT 6-3 I WAS LIKE, 'OK, YOU'RE GONNA WIN THIS ONE.' THEN AT 6-6, (CHUCKLES GENTLY) IT WAS NOT THE SAME. BUT WITH AN OPPORTUNITY TO SET UP A MATCH POINT, NADAL FALTERED. (GRUNTS) CROWD ROARS EVEN HE SEEMED SHOCKED. HIS GRAND-SLAM FINALS DROUGHT NOW STRETCHES TO OVER A YEAR. NOVAK DJOKOVIC HAS HAD A BIT OF A TENNIS DROUGHT THIS TOURNAMENT. WITH HIS LAST TWO MATCHES WALKOVERS DUE TO INJURIES, HE'D PLAYED JUST SIX GAMES IN THE LAST TWO ROUNDS. KYLE EDMUND WAS HOPING THAT WOULD MEAN THE WORLD NUMBER ONE WOULD BE A BIT RUSTY. INSTEAD HE HAD ENERGY TO BURN. APPLAUSE WHILE THE WORLD NUMBER 84 DID A LOT RIGHT, DJOKOVIC DIDN'T GET MUCH WRONG. IT BECAME CLEAR THERE WAS NO SECOND UPSET ON THE CARDS AT FLUSHING MEADOWS. APPLAUSE, CHEERING OK. HE WON'T GIVE THE KID A GAME. THE MOST CONCERNING PART OF THE STRAIGHT SETS WIN ` DJOKOVIC'S UPPER ARM AGAIN REQUIRING TREATMENT, THOUGH IT HARDLY SEEMED TO MATTER. CROWD EXCLAIMS AND SO IT ENDS. DJOKOVIC CONTINUES TO MAKE THE IMPOSSIBLE LOOK EASY. ABBY WILSON, ONE NEWS. IF THERE WAS A TEAM PRIZE, THE NZ TEAM AT THE PRESTIGIOUS BURGHLEY HORSE TRIALS CERTAINLY WOULD HAVE TAKEN IT OUT, WITH TWO KIWIS ON THE PODIUM AND SEVEN INSIDE THE TOP 13. AS GEORGE BERRY REPORTS, IT INCLUDED A SPECTACULAR COMEBACK FOR ANDREW NICHOLSON. ANXIOUS MOMENTS RESEMBLING MORE A GAME OF SNAKES AND LADDERS THAN THE FINAL PHASE OF THE PRESTIGIOUS BURGHLEY HORSE TRIALS. UNBELIEVABLE. I HAD MY NINE LIVES. FOUR RAILS SAW KIWI TIM PRICE TUMBLE FROM SECOND TO FOURTH. SO HE GOES DOWN, AND HE GOES DOWN, IN ALL, TWO PLACES. WIFE JONELLE LEAPFROGGED HIM INTO THIRD AFTER ALMOST GOING CLEAR, PROPELLED BY A DOMINANT SHOWING IN THE CROSS COUNTRY. SHE ASKS FOR A BIG JUMP. GETS IT. WOW, THAT WAS IMPRESSIVE. BUT IT WAS ANDREW NICHOLSON WHO ONCE AGAIN PROVED HIS PROWESS. EXACTLY ONE YEAR AGO HE WAS LYING EXTREMELY ILL IN BED WITH VIRTUALLY A BROKEN NECK. UNWANTED IN RIO, THE FIVE-TIME BURGHLEY WINNER PROVED TO HAVE A FIRM GRIP BACK AT THE TOP OF THE SPORT THAT NEARLY COST HIM HIS LIFE. AGAIN, CLASSIC NICHOLSON. I'M NOT AS STRONG IN MY HANDS AS I USED TO BE OR MY LEGS. A COUPLE OF TIMES I FELT LIKE I DIDN'T REALLY HAVE ENOUGH CONTACT TO DO THE TURNINGS. THE 56-YEAR-OLD STAYED IN CONTACT WITH THE LEADERS ALL WEEK TO EVENTUALLY FINISH SECOND, LESS THAN A RAIL BEHIND AUSSIE CHRISTOPHER BURTON. LESS THAN A RAIL BEHIND AUSSIE CHRISTOPHER BURTON. AND THE LAST GOES. MY GOSH, HE NEARLY GAVE IT AWAY. SIR MARK TODD ADDED TO HIS LIST OF ACCOLADES, INDUCTED INTO THE BURGHLEY HALL OF FAME AND FINISHING NINTH, ONE PLACE AHEAD OF CAROLINE POWELL, WHO'S BACK ON THE UP FOLLOWING A BROKEN LEG EARLIER IN THE YEAR. WHO'S BACK ON THE UP FOLLOWING A BROKEN LEG EARLIER IN THE YEAR. AND A BRILLIANT JUMP OUT. THAT WAS PHENOMENAL. THE KIWIS' PERFORMANCE A REMINDER OF JUST WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN IN RIO. GEORGE BERRY, ONE NEWS. THE ALL BLACKS HAVE REGROUPED IN HAMILTON TO PREPARE FOR THEIR NEXT TEST AGAINST ARGENTINA WITH A CLEAR MESSAGE ` 'THE OUTSIDE NOISES ARE NOT DISTRACTING US.' THERE'S BEEN PLENTY OF TALK SINCE THE LAST VICTORY OVER THE WALLABIES ABOUT THE TEAM'S WINNING STREAK AND SUGGESTIONS THE ALL BLACKS GET AN EASY RIDE. AS ANDREW SAVILLE REPORTS, THE TEAM HAS A SIMPLE RESPONSE. FIRMLY ENSCONCED IN HAMILTON TONIGHT AND HELPING OUT AT THE OLD BOYS' CLUB, AND HELPING OUT AT THE OLD BOYS' CLUB, RESPONDING TO THE HUGE AMOUNT OF TALK OVER THE PAST FORTNIGHT, INCLUDING ALLEGATIONS OF OFFICIAL BIAS TOWARDS THE ALL BLACKS. IN TERMS OF THE REFEREE STUFF, WE DON'T WORRY ABOUT THAT. WE TAKE IT WEEK BY WEEK AND ALWAYS TRY AND PLAY BY THE LAW. FIRST THINGS FIRST, THE ALL BLACKS ADMIT THEY'VE MOVED ON FROM THAT SPITEFUL TEST IN WELLINGTON... < IS IT STILL DISAPPOINTING THAT A TEAM TRIES THAT? < OR ARE YOU GUYS MORE LIKE, 'BRING IT ON, WHATEVER'? I DON'T MIND IT, TO BE FAIR. ...BUT THERE'S STILL SOME HEAD-SCRATCHING OVER PARTS OF THE WALLABIES' GAME PLAN. THE WAY THEY WENT ABOUT IT WAS PROBABLY WHAT CAUGHT US OFF GUARD A FRACTION. BUT, UM... < IT SEEMS LIKE IT WAS CONSTANT. YEAH, BUT WE ACKNOWLEDGED PRETTY QUICKLY THAT'S HOW WERE GONNA PLAY. IN A FUNNY WAY, IT'S A GOOD THING WHEN YOU REALISE THE OPPOSITION ARE PLAYING LIKE THAT, COS IT MEANS THEY'RE NOT REALLY FOCUSED ON THEIR FOOTY AS MUCH. THE USUAL NORTHERN BARBS HAVE BEEN FIRED AS WELL, LIKE THE ALL BLACKS' SUCCESS IS DAMPENING INTERNATIONAL RUGBY. BUT THEY MAKE NO EXCUSE FOR PLAYING AT A NEW SPEED AND A NEW FITNESS LEVEL. I HONESTLY RECKON SUPER TEAMS AND INTERNATIONAL RUGBY, WE'RE GETTING FITTER EVERY SINGLE YEAR. IT SHOWS JUST IN THE YO-YO SCORES AND THE NEW FITNESS TESTS THEY'RE COMING UP WITH ALL THE TIME. TOMORROW THE TEAM HITS INTO FULL-ON TRAINING FOR ARGENTINA. WE COME IN HERE, AND THE IMPORTANT THING IS WE KEEP OUR FEET FIRMLY ON THE GROUND AND DON'T GET AHEAD OF OURSELVES OR DON'T THINK WE'RE BETTER THAN WE ARE, BECAUSE WITH TEST MATCH FOOTY, YOU HAVE TO TURN UP EVERY SINGLE WEEK. REMINDING THEMSELVES THEY'VE NEVER LOST TO THE PUMAS SHOULD HELP THEM WITH THAT. ANDREW SAVILLE, ONE NEWS. THE ARGENTINE SQUAD HAS SLIPPED INTO THE COUNTRY, CHOOSING TO BASE ITSELF IN AUCKLAND FOR THE NEXT FOUR DAYS. WHILE THE PUMAS ARE MISSING FIVE STARTERS FROM THEIR WORLD CUP MATCH AGAINST THE ALL BLACKS 12 MONTHS AGO, THEIR TRY-SCORER IN THAT 26-16 LOSS IS BACK TO ANCHOR THE SCRUM. YEAH, THEY ARE THE BEST TEAM IN THE WORLD, AND WE KNOW THAT, AND PLAYING IN NZ IS EVEN MORE DIFFICULT, SO WE HAVE TO PREPARE A GREAT WEEK. VASTLY EXPERIENCED INSIDE BACKS NICOLAS SANCHEZ AND JUAN MARTIN HERNANDEZ LOOK TO HAVE SHAKEN OFF THEIR HEAD KNOCKS FROM THE BRUISING SPRINGBOKS CLASH IN ARGENTINA JUST EIGHT DAYS AGO, TRAINING AT THE COLLEGE RIFLES CLUB TODAY. THE PUMAS HAVE ALREADY MANAGED TO SQUEEZE IN SOME TENPIN BOWLING AS WELL WITH CAPTAIN AGUSTIN CREEVY, HOPING THEY CAN ALSO KNOCK OVER THE ALL BLACKS FOR THE FIRST TIME. AFTER ALMOST MISSING THE CUT, WORLD NUMBER ONE LYDIA KO HAS FINISHED IN AN IMPRESSIVE TIE FOR FIFTH AT THE LPGA CLASSIC IN CANADA. A MID-ROUND SURGE SAW THE KIWI MOVE WITHIN A SHOT OF THE LEAD. SHE WAS FIVE UNDER THROUGH FIVE HOLES, TOPPED OFF BY THIS EAGLE ON THE PAR-FIVE 12TH. AND WATCH OUT FOR LYDIA KO, WHO COULD COME FROM BEHIND HERE AND SURPRISE EVERYONE ON SUNDAY. BUT KO COULDN'T IMPROVE HER CARD ON THE NEXT SIX HOLES, EVENTUALLY FINISHING WITH A FOUR UNDER PAR 68. SHE WAS TWO SHOTS BEHIND FIRST-TIME LPGA WINNER GERMANY'S CAROLINE MASSON. SCOTT DIXON HAS SNAPPED A FIVE-MONTH LOSING STREAK IN THE INDYCAR SERIES, MAKING NO RACE OF THE RETURN TO THE REVAMPED WATKINS GLEN CIRCUIT IN UPSTATE NEW YORK. THE KIWI (36) HAD SMASHED THE LAP RECORD IN QUALIFYING AND REPRODUCED THAT SIZZLING FORM TODAY. HE'S HAD SUCH A HARD RUN THE LAST HALF A DOZEN RACES. HE'S HAD SUCH A HARD RUN THE LAST HALF A DOZEN RACES. EVERYTHING HAS GONE THE WRONG WAY. THEY'VE MADE BAD DECISIONS. MAKING THE BIG MISTAKE TODAY WAS HIS AUSSIE RIVAL, WILL POWER, BUT UP FRONT, DIXON DOMINATED, LEADING FOR 50 OF THE 60 LAPS IN HIS CHEVROLET, CRUISING HOME TO JUST HIS SECOND WIN OF THE SEASON. THEY ROLL EITHER WAY, RIGHT? LIKE, SOMETIMES YOU'RE GONNA GET THEM, SOMETIMES YOU'RE NOT. BUT TODAY I THINK` IT BIT US PRETTY GOOD IN TORONTO. IT'S A NICE WAY TO TURN IT AROUND. THE VICTORY LIFTED THE DEFENDING SERIES CHAMPION TO THIRD OVERALL, BUT HE CAN'T RETAIN THE TITLE WITH JUST ONE ROUND TO GO. TO THE SLIGHTLY FASTER RED CARS, AND THIRD PLACE IS THE BEST FERRARI COULD MUSTER IN THE LATEST ROUND OF FORMULA ONE IN ITALY, ALTHOUGH WINNER NICO ROSBERG AT LEAST DID HIS PART TO KEEP THE ITALIAN FANS HAPPY. (SPEAKS ITALIAN) HONKING, CROWD CHEERS (CONTINUES SPEAKING ITALIAN) (SINGS BASS GUITAR RIFF TO THE WHITE STRIPES' 'SEVEN NATION ARMY' (SINGS BASS GUITAR RIFF TO THE WHITE STRIPES' 'SEVEN NATION ARMY') ROSBERG WAS ALMOST SINGLEHANDEDLY GIFTED THE RACE BY MERCEDES TEAMMATE LEWIS HAMILTON AFTER THE BRIT DROPPED FROM POLE POSITION TO SIXTH PLACE ON THE VERY FIRST CORNER. HAMILTON FOUGHT HIS WAY BACK UP TO SECOND AND NOW LEADS ROSBERG BY JUST TWO POINTS AT THE TOP OF THE STANDINGS. MEANWHILE, ANOTHER BRIT HAS FINALLY GIVEN ENGLISH FOOTBALL FANS SOMETHING TO CHEER ABOUT. UP AGAINST SLOVAKIA IN A WORLD CUP QUALIFIER, IT TOOK ENGLAND 65 MINUTES TO FINALLY GET A SHOT ON TARGET. IT TOOK THEM ANOTHER 30 MINUTES TO FINALLY FIND THE BACK OF THE NET. GOT AWAY FROM HIM. ROSE PLAYED IT IN. LALLANA HAS SCORED FOR ENGLAND IN THE 95TH MINUTE OF 94! OFF THE HOOK AT THE VERY VERY END! ENGLAND HOME 1-0, LIVERPOOL'S ADAM LALLANA SCORING HIS FIRST GOAL IN 27 APPEARANCES FOR HIS COUNTRY, THE SCENES OBVIOUSLY A BIT BETTER THAN THEY WERE JUST OVER A MONTH AGO WHEN THE SIDE WAS KNOCKED OUT OF EURO 2016 BY ICELAND. IT'S THE SAME OLD STORY FOR THE WARRIORS. THEY'RE ON MAD MONDAY CELEBRATIONS INSTEAD OF PREPARING FOR THE NRL PLAY-OFFS FOR THE FIFTH SEASON IN A ROW. THE SEASON OVER AFTER AN EMBARRASSING 40-18 THRASHING FROM THE EELS, THE PLAYERS STRUGGLING TO FIND SOLUTIONS. WE` WE'RE DOING ALL THE RIGHT` EVERYTHING'S THERE, IT'S JUST UP TO THE INDIVIDUAL TO TURN UP. AND, UM... HOW THAT HAPPENED, I'M NOT ENTIRELY SURE. THE NRL IS WARNING ALL CLUBS NOT TO GET TOO CARRIED AWAY WITH THE PARTYING, SAYING PLAYERS CAN EXPECT RANDOM DRUG TESTS IN COMING WEEKS. TO NETBALL, AND THE SILVER FERNS MAY'VE BLOWN IT AGAINST AUSTRALIA, BUT JANINE SOUTHBY'S LOT HAS PROBABLY EXCEEDED EXPECTATIONS. AMONGST ALL THE CHANGES FOR THE FERNS IN A NEW COMPETITION ` COACH, NEW SKIPPER, AND NEW FACES ` SOUTHBY'S CHARGES SURPRISED, NONE MORE SO THAN DEFENDER JANE WATSON, WHO DIDN'T EVEN MAKE THE 12 BUT WAS INCLUDED DUE TO INJURY. MY GOODNESS. THAT IS A FULL EXTENSION. FOLLOWS THE BALL UP. BUT FOR A COUPLE OF MISSED SHOTS UNDER THE POST BAILEY MES WAS DISAPPOINTING, LANDING JUST 23 OF HER 34 ATTEMPTS. THE FERNS MIGHT HAVE WON IT. AUSTRALIA CLAIMING THE INAUGURAL CHAMPIONSHIP 60-55. AND FINALLY TONIGHT ` SORRY, THE VISION MIGHT BE A LITTLE SCRATCHY ` BUT WE THOUGHT, GIVEN THE ACHIEVEMENT, WE HAD TO GIVE THESE GUYS A MENTION BEFORE I GO. THE NZ WOMEN'S CANOE POLO TEAM, THE PADDLE BLACKS, ARE NOW ALSO THE WORLD CHAMPIONS! YES, AFTER CONVINCING WINS OVER DENMARK, JAPAN, FRANCE, THE CZECH REPUBLIC, HOSTS ITALY AND CANADA, THE PADDLE BLACKS BEAT GERMANY IN THIS MORNING'S FINAL 3-2. I'VE DONE A BIT OF RESEARCH I'D NEVER SEEN THIS SPORT BEFORE 5 PLAYERS IN EACH TEAM YOU CAN SCORE WITH THE PADDLE OR WITH YOUR HAND COMING UP ` IT WAS THE PLACE THAT CHANGED BRAD SMEELE'S LIFE FOREVER. TONIGHT BRAD GOES BACK TO THE SCENE OF HIS WAKEBOARDING ACCIDENT FOR THE FIRST TIME. I GUESS, LIKE, I REPLAY IT OVER AND OVER IN MY HEAD. PLUS 'STOLEN IMAGES AND FABRICATED SOCIAL MEDIA POSTS'. I'M CALLING OUT THE COMPANY THAT'S FALSELY USING ME TO PROMOTE THEIR WEIGHT-LOSS PRODUCT. AND DOES EMMA KEELING HAVE WHAT IT TAKES TO WORK FOR THE QUEEN? 78 BATHROOMS? ARE YOU KIDDING ME? MORE ON LIFE WITH HER MAJESTY AT 7. 1 Hi. When it comes to running your home, there are always a few hidden costs, like water heating. It's about 30% of your energy bill. A lot of that is money down the drain. You could be wasting hundreds of dollars a year. Luckily, there are ways to save energy, but still have the hot water you need. Check the hot-water temperature of the tap. If it's more than 55 degrees, it's unsafe, and you could be using more energy than you need to. Here's a tip ` wrap your hot-water pipes. If you have an older electric cylinder, wrap that too. Showers and baths use the most hot water, so visit energywise.govt.nz for ways to make energy savings here. A dripping hot tap wastes energy. Heating water is a big part of our country's energy bill. If we all saved just 10%, we could save millions. See you next time.
