IT'S MIDDAY. POLICE GET A TICKING OFF FROM THE PRIVACY COMMISSIONER OVER THE WAY THEY GIVE OUT INFORMATION ABOUT US. THE DREAMWORLD TRAGEDY THAT'S INCREASINGLY BECOMING A PR NIGHTMARE. WHAT LENGTH THE CEO'S GOING TO IN ORDER TO CLAW BACK THE PARK'S REPUTATION. AND THE BEST TEAM IN THE WORLD GETS THE FANCIEST JERSEY. SO WHAT'S SO SPECIAL ABOUT THIS ONE? DUE TO THE LIVE NATURE OF MIDDAY, WE APOLOGISE FOR THE LACK OF CAPTIONS FOR SOME ITEMS. AHIAHI MARIE, GOOD AFTERNOON. BUT FIRST, AN INTERNATIONAL DEAL HAS BEEN DONE TO PROTECT THE ANTARCTIC ROSS SEA AFTER SIX YEARS OF DIPLOMATIC WRANGLING. NZ AND THE UNITED STATES FIRST PUSHED FOR A ROSS SEA SANCTUARY, BUT BIG FISHING NATIONS LIKE CHINA, RUSSIA, JAPAN, CHILE AND NORWAY ORIGINALLY OPPOSED IT. NOW IN THE LAST HALF HOUR, 1 NEWS HAS HAD INDICATIONS THAT ONE AND 500 KM2 OF THE ROSS SEA WILL BECOME A MARINE SANCTUARY, MAKING IT THE WORLD'S LARGEST. TRADE UNIONIST HELEN KELLY, WHO DIED A FORTNIGHT AGO, WILL BE FAREWELLED AT A PUBLIC MEMORIAL IN WELLINGTON IN JUST UNDER AN HOUR. 1 NEWS REPORTER RYAN BOSWELL JOINS US NOW. RYAN, WHO IS EXPECTED TO BE AT THE SERVICE? We are at the Michael Fowler Centre. It holds about 2 � thousand people. Organisers say the venue will not be big enough. People will have to watch the memorial service outside on big screens. Workers up and down the country have travelled to Wellington to pay tribute to the former trade unionist. They will pay their respects onstage with tributes. Politicians will also give their thoughts on Helen Kelly's career within politics and within the union movement. One tribute that will stand out and will be particularly special s a song that will be sung by Helen Kelly's son, Dylan. The event will be streamed live on our website. THE PRIVACY COMMISSIONER SAYS HE'S CONCERNED POLICE MAY BE COLLECTING INFORMATION ABOUT THE PUBLIC UNDER FALSE PRETENCES AND SAYS HE MAY LAUNCH AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE POLICE VETTING SYSTEM. THAT'S AFTER THE PRIVACY COMMISSION AND THE IPCA RELEASED A REVIEW TODAY FINDING THE VETTING SYSTEM NEEDS 'URGENT GOVERNMENT ATTENTION'. IN SOME CASES, POLICE HAD RELEASED INFORMATION THEY SHOULDN'T HAVE AND HAD GIVEN OUT DETAILS WITHOUT PERMISSION. The biggest concern is the suggestion that information has been collected under false pretences. If you say you are doing it for one purpose, for example road safety, people are entitled to expect that that is the truth. HIS COMMENTS COME A DAY AFTER POLICE DEFENDED A MOVE TO SET UP A BREATH-TESTING CHECKPOINT OUTSIDE A RIGHT-TO-DIE MEETING TO MONITOR WHO WAS ATTENDING. POLICE MINISTER JUDITH COLLINS SAYS THE POLICE ACT WILL LIKELY NEED CHANGING TO DEFINE CLEAR RULES FOR WHAT CAN BE RELEASED. T may be the sort of change that all of Parliament would most likely support. If they do, that could make a much quicker process. MORE THAN HALF A MILLION PEOPLE ARE VETTED BY POLICE EVERY YEAR, UP FROM 200,000 A DECADE AGO. A LOWER HUTT WOMAN (65) HAS BEEN CHARGED WITH IMPORTING A DRUG THAT'S KNOWN FOR ITS USE IN EUTHANASIA. SUSAN AUSTEN APPEARED AT THE WELLINGTON DISTRICT COURT CHARGED WITH IMPORTING THE SEDATIVE PENTOBARBITONE, OTHERWISE KNOWN AS NEMBUTAL OR 'THE PEACEFUL PILL.' SHE WAS REMANDED ON BAIL TO REAPPEAR IN FEBRUARY. AUSTEN IS CHAIR OF THE WELLINGTON BRANCH OF THE VOLUNTARY EUTHANASIA SOCIETY. MEANWHILE, THE HEALTH SELECT COMMITTEE TASKED WITH MAKING A RECOMMENDATION ON WHETHER TO LEGALISE VOLUNTARY EUTHANASIA IS SITTING IN THE SOUTH ISLAND, WITH THE COMMITTEE EXPECTED TO HEAR 200 ORAL SUBMISSIONS IN CHRISTCHURCH TODAY. SUBMITTERS THIS MORNING WERE EMOTIONAL ON THE ISSUE ON EITHER SIDE OF THE DEBATE. There are two sorts of arguments, One that is stressing choice,, And another side that is talking about public safety. Can you implement a euthanasia law and still protect public safety? IN TOTAL AN UNPRECEDENTED 1800 PEOPLE WILL GIVE THEIR SUBMISSIONS ORALLY THE DRAFT REPORT IS EXPECTED TO BE BEFORE PARLIAMENT NEXT YEAR. DREAMWORLD'S HANDLING OF A FATAL ACCIDENT AT THE THEME PARK EARLIER THIS WEEK IS GOING FROM BAD TO WORSE. QUEENSLAND POLICE HAVE SHUT DOWN PLANS TO REOPEN THE PARK TODAY FOR A MEMORIAL SERVICE AS THE PARK'S OWNERS GO FROM ONE PR DISASTER TO THE NEXT. A CEO UNDER SIEGE FRONTING A MEETING SHE COULDN'T CANCEL. I AM A MOTHER, I HAVE A FAMILY, I TAKE MY FAMILY TO DREAMWORLD. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN MY FAMILY, AND I AM COMPLETELY SYMPATHETIC TO WHAT THEY MUST BE GOING THROUGH, AND I HOPE THAT I WILL BE ABLE TO HELP THEM. THE OWNERS OF DREAMWORLD DEFENDED THEIR SAFETY RECORD, BUT DESPITE FOUR DEATHS, PRESSED AHEAD WITH EVERYTHING ON THE AGENDA, INCLUDING BONUSES, SHAREHOLDERS SIGNING OFF ON A POTENTIAL PAY RISE FOR DEBORAH THOMAS WHICH COULD BE WORTH A FURTHER MILLION DOLLARS. I'M NOT GETTING PAID A MILLION DOLLARS. FOUR PEOPLE DIED VERY RECENTLY, AND WE ARE ALL SHATTERED BY THIS. THIS IS NOT SOMETHING THAT YOU DEAL WITH VERY EASILY. SO RIGHT NOW I DO NOT WANT TO DISCUSS TRANSACTIONS AT THIS POINT. QUESTIONS WERE ASKED ABOUT THE BONUS AND THE FACT THE MEETING WAS HELD AT ALL. THERE'S SOME BIG BONUSES STILL BEING PAID. YEAH, IT'S NOT A GOOD LOOK. THERE WERE ALSO ACCUSATIONS DREAMWORLD WAS GETTING BACK TO BUSINESS TOO SOON. IT'S DRIVEN BY, UH, THE UTMOST RESPECT FOR THE FAMILIES. QUEENSLAND POLICE STEPPED IN, CANCELLING A PLANNED MEMORIAL SERVICE AND THE PARK'S REOPENING ON SATURDAY. DREAMWORLD REMAINS A CRIME SCENE. FOR DEBORAH THOMAS, THOUGH, THERE WAS NO LET-UP, CONCEDING SHE HADN'T YET CALLED THE VICTIMS' FAMILIES. SHE SAVED HER LAST WORDS FOR THEM. DID YOU SAY THAT THE DORSETT FAMILY WERE WATCHING? THEN I WOULD LIKE TO SAY OUR HEARTS AND OUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU AND YOUR FAMILY AT THIS DIFFICULT TIME. AND I WILL BE CALLING YOU TO SEE WHAT ASSISTANCE WE CAN OFFER YOU. OLYMPIC GOLD MEDALLIST VALERIE ADAMS HAS BEEN NAMED NZ'S FIRST SPORTS AMBASSADOR TO THE PACIFIC. SHE HEADS TO TONGA AND SAMOA NEXT WEEK, WHERE SHE'LL HOLD SPORTS CLINICS AND ENCOURAGE MORE CHILDREN INTO SPORT. GIVE THEM A LITLE BIT OF INSPIRATION, MOTIVATION. JUST TO MAKE THAT ONE CHANGE THAT COULD GIVE THEM A BETTER LIFE IN THE FUTURE THEN I'VE DONE MY PART. NZ HAS ALSO PUT $10M INTO A FIVE-YEAR PACIFIC SPORTS PROGRAMME AIMED AT GETTING CHILDREN HEALTHY. IRAQI SPECIAL FORCES SAY THEY'VE MOVED MORE THAN 1000 CIVILIANS FROM FRONT-LINE AREAS AROUND THE CITY OF MOSUL. AS TROOPS AND KURDISH FIGHTERS CONTINUE THEIR DRIVE TOWARDS THE CITY, ISIS MILITANTS ARE FIGHTING BACK USING SUICIDE BOMBERS. THE BBC'S SENT THIS REPORT FROM THE LIBERATED VILLAGE OF FAZLIYA. A HARBINGER OF TERROR. WE ENTERED HOSTILE TERRITORY, TAKING THE BATTLE TO I-S WITH KURDISH PESHMERGA FIGHTERS. THIS WAS THEIR SECOND ATTEMPT TO FREE THE VILLAGE OF FAZLIYA. LAST WEEK THEY FACED HEAVY RESISTANCE. BOOM! A MASSIVE ROADSIDE BOMB JUST AHEAD. IT WAS ONE OF FOUR ON OUR ROUTE. MEN SHOUT THEN THE PESHMERGA MOVED TO CONFRONT A SUSPECTED SUICIDE BOMBER. THEY HAVE TO CHECK HIM FOR EXPLOSIVES WITH THEIR BARE HANDS. THIS TIME THEY WERE LUCKY ` JUST A CIVILIAN. WE ARRIVE IN WHAT LOOKS LIKE A DESERTED VILLAGE. LOCALS START TO EMERGE, TENTATIVELY, TO OFFER THANKS. BUT SOON THIS. AUTOMATIC GUNFIRE WARNING SHOTS FROM WARY TROOPS. AT LAST, FREEDOM AND RELIEF. (SPEAKS IRAQI LANGUAGE) 'THERE'S NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT,' HE SAYS. 'IT'S ALL OVER.' (SPEAKS IRAQI LANGUAGE) 'THEY DESTROYED US,' SAYS MOHAMED. (SHOUTS HAPPILY) THERE WAS A SENSE OF A COMMUNITY COMING BACK LIFE, OF OLD FRIENDS REUNITING, FREED FROM THE TYRANNY OF I-S. EVEN AS THEY CELEBRATE, THE TROOPS KNOW THEIR ENEMY COULD SOON RE-EMERGE. THE BLACK FLAG OF I-S HAS BEEN PULLED DOWN FROM THE MOSQUE, THE PESHMERGA VOWING THAT NEVER AGAIN WILL IT BE ALLOWED TO FLY HERE. HISTORIC BUILDINGS IN CENTRAL ITALY HAVE BEEN BADLY DAMAGED BY TWO STRONG EARTHQUAKES THAT FORCED HUNDREDS OF RESIDENTS OUT OF THEIR HOMES. ITALY'S STATE BROADCASTER CAPTURED THE MOMENT A 15TH-CENTURY CHURCH COLLAPSED DURING THE SHAKES. RESCUE TEAMS HAVE BEEN STRUGGLING TO REACH SOME AREAS, BUT OFFICIALS SAY THE SITUATION IS NOT 'CATASTROPHIC'. ONE MAN DIED OF A HEART ATTACK, BUT OFFICIALS SAY IT WAS MIRACULOUS NO OTHER DEATHS HAD BEEN REPORTED. WOMEN IN NORTHERN IRELAND MAY BE PUTTING THEIR HEALTH AT RISK BY TAKING DANGEROUS PILLS TO GET AROUND THE COUNTRY'S STRICT ABORTION LAWS. ONE WOMAN WHO ASKED FOR MEDICAL TREATMENT TO TERMINATE HER PREGNANCY IS NOW FACING CRIMINAL PROSECUTION. THE BBC'S CHRIS BUCKLER EXPLAINS. THIS WAS A DELIBERATELY PROVOCATIVE STUNT BY PRO-ABORTION CAMPAIGNERS. USING A DRONE TO DELIVER PILLS CAPABLE OF CAUSING A PREGNANCY TO BE TERMINATED AND THEN TAKING THE DRUGS IN FULL VIEW OF THE POLICE. BUT SIMILAR PILLS ARE ARRIVING IN NORTHERN IRELAND REGULARLY, DESPITE THE STRICT LAWS THAT PREVENT ANY ABORTION UNLESS THE MOTHER'S LIFE OR HEALTH IS AT SERIOUS RISK. THOSE WHO CAN AFFORD IT ARE TRAVELLING TO ENGLAND; THEY'RE HAVING AN ABORTION THERE PRIVATELY. AND THOSE WHO CAN'T AFFORD IT ARE HERE TO EITHER BE IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION OR GET THESE PILLS ONLINE AND FACE CRIMINALISATION. THERE HAVE BEEN MANY WARNINGS, BUT PEOPLE CAN'T BE SURE WHAT THEY'RE ORDERING FROM THE NUMEROUS WEBSITES THAT OFFER ABORTION PILLS ONLINE. PURCHASING AND USING THE DRUGS IS ILLEGAL ACROSS THE UK AND IRELAND. BUT PILLS WE ORDERED ARRIVE FROM INDIA WITH LITTLE DOCUMENTATION, AND WE HAD THEM TESTED. OF PARTICULAR CONCERN WITH THIS DRUG WOULD BE THE HEAVY BLEEDING. AND A NUMBER OF WOMEN WOULD ACTUALLY REQUIRE A BLOOD TRANSFUSION DUE TO THE BLOOD LOSS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS PRODUCT. IS THAT POTENTIALLY LIFE THREATENING? COMPLETELY, YEAH. BUT THE BBC HAS LEARNED THAT RECENTLY AT LEAST ONE WOMAN WAS REPORTED TO POLICE AND CHARGED WITH USING ABORTION PILLS AFTER SHE SOUGHT MEDICAL TREATMENT. GROUPS LIKE AMNESTY HAVE BEEN INVOLVED WITH A LONG CAMPAIGN TO TRY TO GET THE LAWS HERE RELAXED. BUT THERE'S RESISTANCE TOO. ABORTION IS A PARTICULARLY SENSITIVE ISSUE IN NORTHERN IRELAND, AND THAT PROBABLY REFLECTS THE CLOSE LINKS BETWEEN RELIGION AND POLITICS. OUR POLITICIANS HAVE BEEN HOLDING AGAINST THE TIDE OF SOME PEOPLE LIKE AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL AND OTHER GROUPS WHO ARE ACTIVELY TRYING TO QUITE FORCEFULLY CHANGE OUR LAW. CAMPAIGNERS CLAIM A MAJORITY OF PEOPLE SUPPORT CHANGE, BUT SO FAR THERE'S NO SIGN OF AGREEMENTS AMONG THE POLITICIANS. AROUND 100 UNACCOMPANIED MINORS WERE LEFT IN A FRENCH MAKESHIFT REFUGEE CAMP, DESPITE CLAIMS FROM OFFICIALS IT HAD BEEN CLEARED. 5000 PEOPLE HAVE BEEN MOVED OUT OF THE AREA DUBBED 'THE JUNGLE' IN CALAIS, BUT AID WORKERS SAY SOME YOUNG PEOPLE WERE LEFT BEHIND. THE BBC'S DAMIAN GRAMMATICAS REPORTS. IT'S THE SLOW STRANGLING OF LIFE IN THE JUNGLE. FRENCH POLICE MOVED IN TODAY, THEN, THIS AFTERNOON, SEALED OFF THE ENTRY, REASSERTING CONTROL HERE. SO IT SEEMS THE POLICE'S PATIENCE IS STARTING TO RUN OUT. AND WITH EACH OF THESE MOVES THAT THEY'RE MAKING UP HERE, THEY'RE TAKING A BIT MORE TERRITORY, PUSHING THE REMAINING REFUGEES THAT LITTLE BIT FURTHER AWAY FROM THE JUNGLE. SO FOR THOSE LEFT OUTSIDE, A CHOICE. FOR THE ADULTS, A NEW DESTINATION ` REFUGEE PROCESSING CENTRES AROUND FRANCE. BUT FOR SOME CHILDREN, UNCERTAINTY. WE FOUND THIS BOY, 16 YEARS OLD, FROM SUDAN. THE PAPERS PROVING HIS AGE ARE STILL IN THE JUNGLE. I CANNOT ENTER INSIDE. YEAH, THE FRENCH PEOPLE REJECT ME TO INSIDE` TO COME INSIDE. THE POLICE? THE POLICE, YEAH. SO WHERE DID YOU STAY LAST NIGHT? I SLEEP IN STREET. JUST OUT HERE SOMEWHERE? YEAH. THE CHILDREN ARE MEANT TO BE GOING HERE, INTO CARE. SOME WILL END UP IN THE UK. LAST NIGHT A FEW WERE LEFT IN THE OPEN. AND ACTIVISTS FILMED THIS TODAY ` CHILDREN BEING DETAINED BY POLICE. IT'S NOT CLEAR WHY. THE DESTRUCTION OF THE JUNGLE IS GATHERING PACE. THE FEAR IS UP TO 100 CHILDREN MAY STILL HAVE NO PLACE TO GO. THIS MAN, WHO'S FROM THE POLICE UNION, TOLD US THERE WERE CHARITIES WORKING HERE WHO COULD BRING THE CHILDREN TO THE POLICE AND THEY'LL GET BEDS. BUT NEARBY WERE MORE BOYS, ALL UNDER 17, WONDERING IF THEY FACE ANOTHER NIGHT ON THE STREETS. THE JUNGLE IS GONE, BUT A TANGLED WEB OF PROBLEMS ENDURES. ANIMAL RIGHTS GROUPS HAVE RELEASED NEW VIDEO OF THE ANIMAL DUBBED 'THE WORLD'S SADDEST POLAR BEAR' IN AN ATTEMPT TO SET HIM FREE FROM CAPTIVITY INSIDE A SHOPPING MALL. 'PIZZA' THE BEAR CAN BE SEEN SWAYING HIS HEAD AND PACING HIS ENCLOSURE, WHICH ANIMAL ADVOCATES SAY IS EVIDENCE OF THE BEAR'S WORSENING CONDITION. A PETITION CALLING FOR THE CLOSURE OF GRANDVIEW AQUARIUM HAS NOW COLLECTED ONE MILLION SIGNATURES. BUT THE SHOP SAYS THEY PROVIDE A 'RICH LIVING ENVIRONMENT' FOR THE BEAR. HILLARY CLINTON HAS HIT THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL WITH MICHELLE OBAMA FOR THE FIRST TIME, AS NEW POLLS SHOW THE RACE FOR PRESIDENT IS TIGHTENING IN BATTLEGROUND STATES. IT COMES AS THE CLINTON FAMILY DEAL WITH ANOTHER EMAIL LEAK, THIS TIME ABOUT FORMER PRESIDENT, BILL. HERE'S THE ABC'S CECILIA VEGA. AND MAYBE IT'S ESPECIALLY MEANINGFUL TO ME, BECAUSE I DO KNOW SOMETHING ABOUT BEING FIRST LADY OF THE US. FORMER RIVALS WITH A SHARED BOND. AS OUR FIRST AFRICAN AMERICAN FIRST LADY, SHE'S FACED PRESSURES I NEVER DID. CHEERING, APPLAUSE THEIR FRIENDSHIP ON FULL DISPLAY. AMONG THE MANY REAL PRIVILEGES I'VE HAD IS TO SEE THE PRESIDENT AND THE FIRST LADY DANCE. LOUD CHEERING, APPLAUSE LAUGHTER IN THE BATTLEGROUND OF NORTH CAROLINA, ONE OF CLINTON'S LARGEST CROWDS SO FAR, PACKED WITH LITTLE GIRLS, FAMILIES... I SAY THIS EVERYWHERE I GO ` I ADMIRE AND RESPECT HILLARY. CROWD CHANTS: HILLARY! SHE HAS MORE EXPERIENCE AND EXPOSURE TO THE PRESIDENCY THAN ANY CANDIDATE IN OUR LIFETIME. AND YES, SHE HAPPENS TO BE A WOMAN. AND OF COURSE, THAT FAMOUS LINE. CASTING OUR VOTE IS THE ULTIMATE WAY WE GO HIGH WHEN THEY GO LOW. BUT OUTSIDE TONIGHT, A SHADOW OVER THE CAMPAIGN. ANOTHER BATCH OF HACKED WIKILEAKS EMAILS. THIS 2011 MEMO FROM BILL CLINTON'S LONG-TIME AIDE DOUG BANN REVEALS HOW HE PRESSURED COMPANIES TO DONATE TO THE FOUNDATION AND ALSO TO PAY THE FORMER PRESIDENT MILLIONS FOR THINGS LIKE SPEECHES. HE EVEN HAD A TERM FOR IT ` BILL CLINTON, INC. MEANWHILE, DONALD TRUMP'S SENT HIS DAUGHTERS ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL TO TRY AND BOOST HIS POPULARITY WITH WOMEN. IVANKA AND TIFFANY TRUMP FLEW IN TO GEORGIA, WHICH IS FAST EMERGING AS A NEW BATTLEGROUND STATE IN THE ELECTION. THE ABC'S JUSTIN WILFON REPORTS. THIS LATE-EDITED ITEM WILL BE CAPTIONED LIVE. The girls arrived all smiles, despite the big job facing them winning over more women voters. With most national and Georgia polls showing Trump struggling with woman, the girls sat down the conversation with Atlanta businesswoman. I can't say I have any expectation of what would be like to be the child of someone running for the presidency of the United States. No mention of the father's controversial comments about women. It's been challenging times. Cross town, a group of Clinton supporters rallied on a street corner. They believe Trump's visit shows they are worried about winning the state. Ppeople have respect for Ivanka Trump but the message has been anti-woman for too long now. I was impressed with how engaging she was. It was a conversation and I like that. THE ALL BLACKS UNVEIL A NEW JERSEY. SO HOW DIFFERENT IS IT AND WHAT DO THE PLAYERS THINK? AND AN ANNOUNCEMENT ON JOSEPH PARKER'S WORLD TITLE FIGHT. WE HAVE THE LATEST AFTER THE BREAK. Hello, Mr Teasell. Come on through. Let's do the hearing test. Alright. (BEEP!) WOMAN: Hi, baba. It's your daughter. (LAUGHS) You're my best friend. You know that. Yes. You told me recently how isolated a lack of hearing makes you feel. Mmm. And that's not fair. I want you to be able to recognise my voice when I call. (SOFTLY) Yes. Something as little as a free hearing check can make a big difference. PEOPLE CHATTER, DANCE MUSIC PULSATES They've been on the sauce. They've been on the sauce. Your party! They've been on the sauce. Your party! That's Mary's boy, isn't it? Yeah. Maybe you should say something. Maybe you should say something. Nah. I'm crap at that kind of thing, Barry. Yeah, but they're just kids. If we don't say something... (GROANS) Hey, boys? Boys? Why don't you get a lift home tonight? Oh, whatever, mate. I've only had a couple. No, no, no, no. It's too late now. I've spoken to you and I know your mum, so that means our fates are aligned. You get into that car and you get yourself killed or you kill someone else, I become part of it too. How? How? Well, it's like, um, my balls are in your hands. BOYS LAUGH, SNORT BOY: Oh, you want the balls! BOY: Oh, you want the balls! Nobody wants that. Hey, how about I drive you? What? Oh. What? Oh. BOYS LAUGH, DANCE MUSIC PLAYS ON RADIO (SWITCHES RADIO STATION) (SWITCHES RADIO STATION) YODELLING MUSIC PLAYS I like it. THE PRESSURE'S MOUNTING ON SPORTS PROMOTION COMPANY DUCO TO FIND PRIVATE SPONSORSHIP TO BRING JOSEPH PARKER'S WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT BOXING TITLE FIGHT TO AUCKLAND IN DECEMBER. DUCO BOSSES CALLED A PRESS CONFERENCE WITHIN THE PAST HOUR TO CONFIRM THEY HAD WITHDRAWN THEIR BID FOR GOVERNMENT FUNDING. SO WE'RE GOING TO GO AWAY OVER THE WEEKEND AND CONTINUE THE WORK WE'VE BEEN DOING OBVIOUSLY OVER THE LAST FEW MONTHS, BUT ALSO FOR THE LAST THREE YEARS. WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A LOOK AT OUR FINANCIAL MODELLING YET AGAIN AND TRY AND DELVE DEEPER INTO IT. BY RULING OUT ANY GOVERNMENT INVOLVEMENT, IT CUTS OUT ONE STREAM OF REVENUE FOR US. SO LAST WEEK OR EARLY THIS WEEK, I SAID THERE'S PROBABLY A 70%, 80% CHANCE THIS IS GOING OVERSEAS. WE'RE PROBABLY MOVING CLOSER TO 80%. IF A SEVEN-FIGURE FUNDING PACKAGE CAN'T BE CONFIRMED FOR PARKER'S FIGHT AGAINST ANDY RUIZ HERE, IT LIKELY TO BE HELD IN DALLAS, TEXAS. THE ALL BLACKS HAVE UNVEILED THEIR HIGH-TECH NEW JERSEY, AND WE'VE GONE BACK TO WHITE LOGOS. THE JERSEY'S STRENGTH LIES IN THE WAY THE FABRIC IS DIGITALLY WOVEN TOGETHER, WHICH HAS LED TO ADIDAS CALLING IT THE STRONGEST JERSEY THEY HAVE EVER PRODUCED. AND PLAYERS ARE SINGING ITS PRAISES. IT'S A MORE SNUG FIT. WORKED PRETTY CLOSELY AT KEEPING IT COMFORTABLE, BUT THE IN-BUILT CHASSIS SYSTEM THAT WE'VE GOT IN THERE MAKES IT MOVE WITH YOU. THEY ALL BLACKS WILL DON THEIR NEW LOOK FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THEIR CHICAGO TEST AGAINST IRELAND ON NOVEMBER THE 6TH. THE BLACK CAPS HAVE ARRIVED IN VISAG AHEAD OF THE FINAL WINNER-TAKE-ALL ODI STARTING ON SATURDAY. THEIR BRILLIANT PERFORMANCE IN RANCHI EARLIER THIS WEEK SAW THEM LEVEL THE SERIES 2-ALL. THIS BLACKCAP KNOWS HOW MUCH A SERIES WIN WOULD MEAN FOR THE TEAM. YOU KNOW, YOU'RE GOING INTO A DECIDER. IT'S PRETTY EASY TO GET UP FOR. WE HAVEN'T WON A SERIES OVER HERE, SO WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO IT. WE KNOW WHAT WE NEED TO DO TO WIN, AND HOPEFULLY WE CAN REPLICATE HOW WE PLAYED TODAY IN THREE DAYS' TIME. AND IT'LL BE A LATE SATURDAY NIGHT IF YOU'RE PLANNING ON WATCHING, THE MATCH DOESN'T GETS UNDERWAY UNTIL 9PM OUR TIME. THE KIWIS HAVE NAMED THEIR TEAM FOR THEIR FOUR NATIONS OPENER AGAINST ENGLAND ON SATURDAY. DAVID KIDWELL HAS KEPT WITH THE SAME 17 THAT WENT DOWN 26-6 TO AUSTRALIA A FORTNIGHT AGO. THE ONLY CHANGE TO THE SQUAD BEING GREG EASTWOOD REPLACING JOSEPH TAPINE AS 19TH MAN. STILL TO COME ON MIDDAY ` THERE'S WEATHER HAPPENING ALL OVER THE COUNTRY. STAY WITH ME AND I'LL TELL YOU ALL ABOUT IT. YOUR WEATHER'S NEXT, BUT FIRST LET'S LOOK AT OUR TOP STORIES. 1.5 MILLION KM2 OF THE ANTARCTIC ROSS SEA IS BEING MADE A MARINE SANCTUARY AFTER SIX YEARS OF INTERNATIONAL DIPLOMATIC TALKS.
