Mother nature was certainly pushing all the buttons today with quite an active flow and some thundery, strong winds. A better looking day for many of us tomorrow. All the details coming up. RIGHT NOW, IT'S 6 O'CLOCK. DUE TO THE LIVE NATURE OF 1 NEWS, WE APOLOGISE FOR THE LACK OF CAPTIONS FOR SOME ITEMS. THIS WOMAN RIGHT HERE HAS THE BRIGHTEST FUTURE FOR OUR WORLD. CHEERING, APPLAUSE SOME REALLY BIG SUPERSTAR SUPPORT FOR HILLARY CLINTON AS THE FBI CLEARS HER OF ANY CRIMINAL WRONGDOING. CHAOS ON K ROAD ` A MASS BRAWL AT A NOTORIOUS AUCKLAND HOT SPOT HAS POLICE WARNING ABOUT POTENTIAL FATALITIES. AND THE MAN FOUND NOT GUILTY OF MURDERING HIS KIWI TINDER DATE SPEAKS OUT FOR THE FIRST TIME. I RESTRAINED HER TO STOP HER FROM ATTACKING ME. WOMAN SCREAMS, THUDDING KIA ORA. GOOD EVENING. HILLARY CLINTON'S BEEN CLEARED... AGAIN. JUST TWO DAYS FROM THE US ELECTION, THE FBI'S FOUND NO EVIDENCE OF CRIMINAL WRONGDOING IN A NEW BATCH OF EMAILS CONTROVERSIALLY REVEALED 10 DAYS AGO. THE BUREAU'S BOSS JAMES COMEY SAYS THEY DON'T SHOW ANYTHING NEW, AND HE REMAINS CONVINCED HER USE OF A PRIVATE EMAIL SERVER WAS EXTREMELY CARELESS BUT NOT CRIMINAL. TODAY'S REVELATION GIVES CLINTON A LAST-MINUTE BOOST, AND LIFTED A DARK SHADOW THAT'S RECENTLY BEEN HANGING OVER HER CAMPAIGN. POLITICAL EDITOR CORIN DANN'S IN THE US, COVERING THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN AND JOINS US LIVE SHORTLY. FIRST, JACK TAME'S ACROSS DEVELOPMENTS IN THE CLINTON CAMP AND JOINS US FROM NEW YORK. In all likelihood, this has come too late for Clinton to make up the ground she has lost. Hillary Clinton and FBI investigation those words just sound bad. People think she has lost about 3% of the nationwide popular vote. This announcement has come very late in the game. It may well be the turbo boost that propels Hillary Clinton to the presidency. MID-AIR, SOMEWHERE ABOVE MIDDLE AMERICA, THIS IS THE MOMENT HILLARY CLINTON'S STAFF GOT THE NEWS THEIR BOSS ISN'T BEING PROSECUTED. WE'RE GLAD THAT THIS MATTER IS RESOLVED. FOR NINE DAYS THE FBI THREW HILLARY CLINTON'S PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN INTO QUESTION, AFTER CONTROVERSIALLY ANNOUNCING IT WAS RE-INVESTIGATING HER HANDLING OF CLASSIFIED EMAILS WHEN WAS SECRETARY OF STATE. BUT TODAY THE FBI BOSS STUCK TO THE SAME CONCLUSION HE REACHED IN JULY. NO CHARGES ARE APPROPRIATE IN THIS CASE. STILL, THE DAMAGE HAS LARGELY BEEN DONE. SINCE FBI DIRECTOR JAMES COMEY WENT PUBLIC ABOUT THE INVESTIGATION, HILLARY CLINTON'S TAKEN A HIT IN NATIONAL POLLS, AND DONALD TRUMP HAS COME ROARING BACK. HILLARY CLINTON IS GUILTY. SHE KNOWS IT, THE FBI KNOWS IT, THE PEOPLE KNOW IT, AND NOW IT IS UP TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE TO DELIVER JUSTICE AT THE BALLOT BOX ON NOVEMBER 8TH. MR COMEY'S UNDER FIRE FROM ALL SIDES. I IMMEDIATELY THOUGHT HE'S MISHANDLED THIS INVESTIGATION FROM THE BEGINNING, AND THIS PROVES IT YET AGAIN. BUT ALTHOUGH IT MIGHT NOT RESET STANDINGS IN THE POLLS, TODAY'S ANNOUNCEMENT CAN ONLY BE A GOOD THING FOR THE CLINTON TEAM. THERE IS A LOT OF NOISE AND A LOT OF DISTRACTION. AND IT'S MEANT TO THROW US OFF OUR PATH. IT'S MEANT TO UNDERMINE OUR FAITH AND CONFIDENCE IN OURSELVES AND IN EACH OTHER. AFTER A WEEKEND OF CAMPAIGNING WITH CELEBRITIES, SHE WAS JOINED ONSTAGE TODAY BY CLEVELAND'S FAVOURITE SON, LEBRON JAMES, AS SHE LOOKS TO SWING OHIO IN HER FAVOUR. I GREW UP IN THE INNER CITY, AND I KNOW THE WHOLE NOTION OF GETTING OUT AND VOTING. AND I WAS ONE OF THOSE KIDS, AND I AROUND A COMMUNITY THAT WAS LIKE, 'OUR VOTE DOESN'T MATTER.' BUT IT REALLY DOES. CHEERING IT REALLY REALLY DOES. HAVING A CANDIDATE WHO'S NO LONGER UNDER AN FBI INVESTIGATION MIGHT ALSO HELP PERSUADE A FEW MORE PEOPLE TO THE POLLS. People think this has cost at least 3% in the popularity vote. Since the FBI released that letter, 20 million Americans have cast early votes. Keep in mind that it is the FBI's usual practice not to comment on any ongoing investigations. Comey has received criticism. The investigation into the e-mails only took six days. Hillary Clinton has one big last are in Philadelphia. She will be joined on stage by the most popular figure in US politics, Michelle Obama, Bill Clinton and Barack Obama and Bruce Springsteen. THANKS, JACK. DONALD TRUMP ALSO CLAIMED THE 'SYSTEM IS RIGGED' AFTER THE FBI ANNOUNCEMENT. HE'S BEEN CRISS-CROSSING KEY BATTLEGROUND STATES IN A LAST-DITCH EFFORT TO WOO VOTERS. 1 NEWS POLITICAL EDITOR CORIN DANN'S ACROSS HIS CAMPAIGN AND IS ALSO IN NEW YORK. CORIN, HAVE THINGS JUST GOT HARDER FOR DONALD TRUMP? I think they have. There was a feeling that he had some momentum building. He had big crowds, lots of momentum. The email news came out today, and I think that took some of the wind out of his sails. It took the focus away from what he was doing. Time is really running out for Donald Trump. DONALD TRUMP BLITZING FIVE STATES IN LESS THAN 24 HOURS. IT'S A LOT OF WORK, FOLKS, I WILL TELL YOU. IT'S A LOT MORE WORK THAN I EVER THOUGHT, BUT IT IS A MOVEMENT IN THIS COUNTRY THE LIKES OF WHICH OUR COUNTRY HAS NEVER SEEN. HIS PUNISHING SCHEDULE EVEN TAKING IN DEMOCRATIC STRONGHOLDS LIKE MICHIGAN AND MINNESOTA, WHERE HIS SUPPORTERS THINK TRUMP HAS A SHOT. I THINK IT'LL BE LIKE AT BREXIT, AND A LOT OF PEOPLE WILL COME OUT, AND IT'LL BE A SHOCKER. TRUMP'S GONNA WIN IN A LANDSLIDE. THE TRUTH IS DONALD TRUMP NEEDS TO STEAL ONE OF THESE DEMOCRATIC STRONGHOLDS TO STAND ANY CHANCE OF BECOMING PRESIDENT. ESPECIALLY BECAUSE HE'S UNDER PRESSURE IN STATES LIKE FLORIDA, EVEN THOUGH THERE IS DIEHARD TRUMP SUPPORT THERE. YEAH, GO, DONALD! DONALD TRUMP WILL BE MY VOTE. I LOVE DONALD TRUMP. BUT IT'S LATINO VOTERS, LIKE THESE LINING UP IN NEVADA, WHO ARE SEEN AS A KEY CLINTON ADVANTAGE. DONALD TRUMP SAYS LINES LIKE THESE AMOUNT TO VOTE RIGGING. CERTAIN KEY DEMOCRATIC POLLING LOCATIONS IN CLARK COUNTY WERE KEPT OPEN FOR HOURS AND HOURS BEYOND CLOSING TIME TO BUS AND BRING DEMOCRATIC VOTERS IN. FOLKS, IT'S A RIGGED SYSTEM. NEVADA OFFICIALS SAY POLLS STAYED OPEN TO PROCESS PEOPLE ALREADY QUEUED TO VOTE. DONALD TRUMP ALSO CRITICISES CLINTON'S USE OF STAR CAMPAIGNING POWER, WHILE DAUGHTER IVANKA'S PLEADING FOR PEOPLE POWER. ANY AMOUNT OF TIME YOU ARE WILLING TO GIVE THE CAMPAIGN IS SO IMPORTANT. THE MOMENTUM IS ON OUR SIDE. DONALD TRUMP HAS GAINED SOME MOMENTUM, BUT HILLARY CLINTON'S HOPING ENOUGH SUPPORT WILL KEEP THE FAITH WITH HER. EVERYTHING YOU CARE ABOUT, EVERYTHING I CARE ABOUT AND I'VE WORKED FOR, IS AT STAKE. CORIN, WE'RE GETTING DOWN TO THE LAST CHANCE TO CONVINCE VOTERS. SO HOW ARE TRUMP AND CLINTON PLAYING IT? Clinton is finishing with a very positive message. Donald Trump's message is vary clear. He is pitching this as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to change politics in America. We do not know if that message will resonate in terms of a big voter turnout. Will it turn out like Brexit? Is there some silent majority of angry Americans Who will come out with a surprise vote. For now, Hillary Clinton is in the lead. THANKS, CORIN. AND CORIN AND JACK WILL STAY RIGHT ACROSS LATE CAMPAIGNING AND PROVIDE EXTENSIVE COVERAGE ON ELECTION DAY. YOU CAN STAY UP TO DATE ON WEDNESDAY WITH A 1 NEWS US ELECTION SPECIAL FROM 4.30 TILL 6, AND WE'LL HAVE A FULL WRAP OF RESULTS, REACTION AND ANALYSIS ON THE NEWS HOUR AT 6 RIGHT HERE ON 1. A $300M FUND'S BEEN UNVEILED BY THE GOVERNMENT TO HELP THE HOMELESS FIND SOMEWHERE TO SLEEP. IT'LL PROVIDE UP TO 1400 NEW EMERGENCY BEDS AND COMES WITH AN ADMISSION THAT IT'S BEEN GETTING HARDER FOR PEOPLE TO FIND SOMEWHERE TO LIVE. POLITICAL REPORTER KATIE BRADFORD HAS THE DETAILS. TE PUEA AND MANUREWA MARAE HAVE HELPED HUNDREDS OF FAMILIES FIND A ROOF OVER THEIR HEADS IN THE PAST FEW MONTHS. THEY'VE STILL GOT FAMILIES HERE WITH NO PLACE TO GO. THERE ARE NO MOTEL ROOMS. GROUPS LIKE THOSE ARE AMONG THE ORGANISATIONS WHO MAY BE ABLE TO ACCESS MORE TAXPAYER FUNDING AS PART OF NEW A MULTIMILLION DOLLAR SPEND BY THE GOVERNMENT ON EMERGENCY HOUSING. OVER RECENT MONTHS, IT'S BECOME CLEAR THAT DEMAND FOR EMERGENCY HOUSING HAS INCREASED. THE $300M PACKAGE WILL PROVIDE FOR AN EXTRA 1400 PLACES AT ANY ONE TIME. 600 OF THOSE WILL BE IN AUCKLAND. 800 IN AREAS OF HIGH DEMAND AROUND THE COUNTRY. I THINK IT'S AMAZING ` $300M OVER THE NEXT FOUR AND A HALF YEARS TOWARDS EMERGENCY HOUSING. THERE'S A HUGE NEED FOR EMERGENCY HOUSING. IT ALSO INCLUDES A $100M LOAN TO HOUSING NZ TO BUILD, BUY OR LEASE PROPERTIES. SO WHERE WILL THOSE 1400 BEDS COME FROM? THAT'S AMBITIOUS, I'VE GOT TO SAY. MORE HOUSES WILL BE BUILT, INCLUDING MODULAR HOUSES. AND THE GOVERNMENT HAS ALREADY BOUGHT ONE MOTEL. I'VE GOT ANOTHER TWO OR THREE THAT IN THE PIPELINE THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT. WE ALSO MIGHT LOOK AT LEASING SOME AS WELL. BUT DESPITE TODAY'S SURPRISE ANNOUNCEMENT, THE GOVERNMENT STILL DOESN'T WANT TO CALL IT A HOUSING CRISIS. WHAT IT'S SAYING IS THAT THERE'S MOST CERTAINLY CHALLENGES OUT THERE, AND SOME OF OUR MOST VULNERABLE FEEL THEM. WE HAVE BEEN CALLING FOR INCREASED EMERGENCY FUNDING. THE PEOPLE OF NZ HAVE BEEN CALLING FOR THIS INCREASED EMERGENCY HOUSING. PAULA BENNETT SAYS ABOUT 1500 PEOPLE ARE IN WHAT SHE CALLS 'INSECURE HOUSING' AT ANY ONE TIME. SHE'S HOPING TODAY'S ANNOUNCEMENT WILL GO SOMEWAY TOWARDS REDUCING THOSE NUMBERS. LET'S GO TO KATIE NOW FOR MORE. WHY HAS THE GOVERNMENT ANNOUNCED THIS NOW? This has been a big issue for the government. It has dogged them over the past six months. Today's surprise announcement is an admission that not enough had been done. This will see those 1400 bids come in over the next little while. That loan to housing NZ is the first time the government and Housing NZ had ever stepped into this extent and provided emergency beds. Housing NZ doesn't usually do that. THANKS, KATIE. AUCKLAND POLICE ARE DISGUSTED AND DISAPPOINTED AFTER ANOTHER NIGHT OF SENSELESS VIOLENCE IN PARTY HOT SPOTS. ONE MAN ENDED UP IN HOSPITAL AND 14 PEOPLE WERE ARRESTED AFTER A NUMBER OF FIGHTS ON KARANGAHAPE ROAD, POLICE RELEASING VIDEO OF ONE BRAWL. WILL HINE REPORTS. A ROLLING BRAWL CROSSING K ROAD EARLY ON SUNDAY ONE MOMENT OF CHAOS AMONG MANY. IT'S DOWNRIGHT DISGUSTING. 14 ARRESTS WERE MADE AS MULTIPLE FIGHTS ERUPTED ALONG THE ROAD. IN THE SPACE OF AN HOUR, OUR STAFF HAD TO DEPLOY TO THE K ROAD AREA FOR THREE SEPARATE BOUTS OF QUITE SERIOUS VIOLENCE WHICH RESULTED IN A MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC BEING HOSPITALISED WITH SERIOUS INJURIES. TWO PEOPLE WERE CHARGED WITH WOUNDING WITH INTENT TO CAUSE GRIEVOUS BODILY HARM AND ASSAULT WITH INTENT TO INJURE. ACROSS THE ROAD, JAGMEED SINGH WATCHED THE VIOLENCE UNFOLD FROM A KEBAB SHOP. THERE WAS FIGHTING BETWEEN MAYBE TWO GROUPS, AND THEY WERE RUNNING AROUND HERE AND THERE, AND SOMETIMES THEY GO TO, LIKE, FIGHT WITH POLICEMAN AS WELL. A SECURITY GUARD WHO'S WORKED IN THE AREA FOR 14 YEARS SAYS HE PROACTIVELY CALLED POLICE TO THE SCENE AFTER SEEING A GROUP OF ABOUT 25 YOUNG PEOPLE GATHERING HERE AND ACTING IN AN UNRULY FASHION. THE VIOLENCE COMES MONTHS AFTER A SERIES OF LATE-NIGHT ONE-PUNCH ASSAULTS NEAR THE WATERFRONT. WE'RE VERY FRUSTRATED OVER THIS CONTINUED ACTIVITY THAT GOES ON ON A SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH PEOPLE'S OVER INDULGENCE IN ALCOHOL. EVERY WEEKEND, FRIDAY OR SATURDAY, BECAUSE OF CLUBS, THEY COME HERE AND THEY ARE DRUNK OR INTOXICATED, AND THEY START FIGHTING EACH OTHER. THE POLICE FOCUS NOW ON IDENTIFYING THOSE SHOWN IN THIS VIDEO. WILL HINE, 1 NEWS. AND POLICE ARE INVESTIGATING AN ALTERCATION IN WHICH AN AUSTRALIAN PHOTOGRAPHER WAS KICKED AND PUSHED AT YESTERDAY'S V8 SUPERCAR RACES IN AUCKLAND.

MEETING WITH OUR GOVERNOR GENERAL, DAME PATSY REDDY. THE KING AND QUEEN LAID A WREATH AT PUKEAHU, THE NATIONAL WAR MEMORIAL, WHERE THE HEAD OF THE DEFENCE FORCE WAS IN ATTENDANCE, AND MORE WELL WISHERS WERE WAITING OUTSIDE. IT'S RARE IN THE NETHERLANDS TO MEET THE FAMOUSLY DOWN-TO-EARTH COUPLE. KIWIS WERE MAKING THE MOST OF THIS CHANCE. SHE SAID, 'THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS BAD WEATHER, ONLY BAD SPIRITS.' THE KING'S NAMESAKE, BABY WILLEM, WAS ALSO THERE. THEY ASKED HOW OLD HE WAS AND GAVE HIM A LITTLE STROKE, A LITTLE HELLO. THERE WAS A TOUR OF SIR PETER JACKSON'S GREAT WAR EXHIBITION AND THEN ON TO WELLYWOOD ITSELF. IT'S THE THIRD TIME THE KING AND QUEEN HAVE BEEN TO NZ. IT'S GREAT TO SEE NZ DEVELOPING THIS INDUSTRY. THE FIRST WAS FOR THEIR HONEYMOON IN 2002. NOW, THIS ROYAL VISIT ISN'T JUST ABOUT CEREMONY; IT'S ABOUT BUSINESS TOO. THE ROYAL COUPLE HAVE BROUGHT WITH THEM 50 BUSINESS LEADERS TO TALK TRADE WITH OUR POLITICIANS. INCLUDING OPPOSITION LEADER ANDREW LITTLE AND PRIME MINISTER JOHN KEY. THE NETHERLANDS HAVE BEEN A STRONG SUPPORTER OF NZ GETTING AN EU-NZ FTA. THAT'S REALLY IMPORTANT. THEY'RE OBVIOUSLY A BIG PART OF THE AGRICULTURAL SECTOR. THE KING AND QUEEN WILL HEAD TO CHRISTCHURCH TOMORROW BEFORE FLYING HOME FROM AUCKLAND ON WEDNESDAY. RYAN BOSWELL, 1 NEWS.

(BEEP!) BOY: Hi, Mum. It's Eddy here. Huh! You are the best mum in the whole wide world. But sometimes you don't hear so well. Sometimes it makes me sad. I love you so much. (HEARTFELT MUSIC) I don't wanna be sad about your hearing anymore. CHILD: Something as little as a free hearing check can make a big difference. LOOKING AT OUR TOP STORIES TONIGHT ` JUST TWO DAYS OUT FROM THE US ELECTION, THE FBI'S CLEARED HILLARY CLINTON OF ANY CRIMINAL WRONG OVER A FRESH BATCH OF HER EMAILS REVEALED 10 DAYS AGO. DONALD TRUMP IS CRYING FOUL OVER THE DECISION, SAYING IT SHOWS THE SYSTEM IS RIGGED. AND BACK HERE, THE GOVERNMENT'S REVEALED A $300M PACKAGE TO TRY AND HELP THE HOMELESS. THE MONEY WILL BE USED TO PROVIDE UP TO 1400 EMERGENCY BEDS AT ANY ONE TIME. AROUND 600 OF THOSE WILL BE IN AUCKLAND. IT COULD SAVE YOUR LIFE IN THE EVENT OF A HEART ATTACK, AND A DEFIBRILLATOR COULD BE CLOSER TO YOU THAN YOU THINK. A GROWING NUMBER OF COMPANIES ARE NOW SUPPLYING THEM IN THEIR STORES AND OFFICES, WITH HEALTH AUTHORITIES URGING EVEN MORE TO GET INVOLVED. WILL HINE REPORTS. AT LEAST TWO PEOPLE HAVE DIED FROM CARDIAC ARREST AT Z PETROL STATIONS IN THE PAST DECADE. FROM NEXT WEEK, THAT WILL BE LESS LIKELY. WE'VE GOT OVER 200 Z SITES. EVERY SINGLE ONE OF OUR Z SITES WILL HAVE A DEFIBRILLATOR ACCESSIBLE TO THE COMMUNITY. DEFIBRILLATORS DELIVER AN ELECTRIC SHOCK THAT RESTARTS THE HEART, AND THEY'RE DESIGNED TO BE USED BY ANYONE. MAN'S VOICE: ATTACH DEFIB PADS TO PATIENT'S BARE CHEST. IT'S NOT UNUSUAL NOW FOR OUR CREWS TO ARRIVE TO A SCENE TO FIND A DEFIB HAS ALREADY BEEN USED, WHICH IS REALLY GREAT, BUT WE NEED TO DO A LOT BETTER IN THIS SPACE IN TERMS OF GETTING DEFIBRILLATORS OUT IN THE COMMUNITY AND BEING USED. Z NOW JOINS A LIST OF OTHER COMPANIES THAT CARRY THE MACHINES. THEY INCLUDE ASB AND SBS BANKS, BRISCOES, REBEL SPORT, MAINFREIGHT, BARFOOT AND THOMPSON, AND MOST MCDONALD'S. CERTAINLY, IN THE LAST FIVE YEARS, THEY'VE BECOME FAR MORE COMMON, AND IF YOU WANT TO LOOK AFTER YOUR CLIENTS, IF YOU WANNA LOOK AFTER YOUR STAFF, THEN HAVING A DEVICE THAT WILL RESTART THEIR HEART MAKES SENSE. GARETH JENKIN RUNS A NON-PROFIT APP AND WEBSITE LISTING THE LOCATIONS OF MORE THAN 6000 DEFIBRILLATORS AND ENCOURAGES PEOPLE TO CHECK WHERE THEY CAN FIND ONE IN THEIR SUBURB. 75% OF CARDIAC ARRESTS ACTUALLY HAPPEN IN THE HOME, SO YOU'RE UNLIKELY TO HAVE A DEFIBRILLATOR IN YOUR HOME. SO ALL WE CAN DO IS PUT THEM STRATEGICALLY IN PUBLIC PLACES. IT'S ABOUT THE PATIENT AND THE PATIENT BEING DEFIBRILLATED, SHOCKED, AS FAST AST POSSIBLE. MINUTES COUNT. 70% OF Z STORES ARE OPEN ALL NIGHT, THIS ONE INCLUDED. THE COMPANY SAYS THAT MAKES ITS DEFIBRILLATORS ALL THE MORE ACCESSIBLE. THIS BUSINESS ONE OF MANY PUTTING THE POWER TO SAVE LIVES IN THE PUBLIC'S HANDS. WILL HINE, 1 NEWS.

(LAUGHS) PARK AVENUE FASHIONS BRIMMING WITH ELEVENTH-HOUR BUSINESS. TRIED ON MY OUTFIT LAST NIGHT, AND I WAS LIKE, 'NO, THERE'S SOMETHING MISSING.' IT'S VERY BUSY TODAY. THE WEATHER HAS BEEN DETERMINED. AND I THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE ALL OF A SUDDEN HAVE GONE HOME OVER THE WEEKEND AND TRIED THEIR DRESS ON, AND IT MAY NOT FIT. THE HORSES, THOUGH, ARE FIGHTING FIT. CANTERBURY-TRAINED 4-YEAR-OLD LAZARUS IS THE HOT FAVOURITE TO TAKE THE CUP. LAZARUS HAS BEEN THE BOOM HORSE. HE HASN'T BEEN TRIED AT 3000 200M BEFORE, WHICH IS 2 MILES OF THE CUP TOMORROW. AND 'HAVE FAITH IN ME' ACTUALLY BEAT HIM AT THE CUP TRIALS LAST WEDNESDAY. AND IF 'HAVE FAITH IN ME' BACKED UP HIS TRIAL WIN WITH A GOLD TOMORROW, IT WOULD SEE A FEMALE DRIVER AS THE CUPHOLDER FOR TWO CONSECUTIVE YEARS. WE DIDN'T HAVE ONE FOR THE FIRST 112 YEARS OF THE CUP, AND NOW IT MIGHT GO TWO IN A ROW. AND WITH TICKETS FOR TOMORROW'S EVENT SELLING TWICE AS FAST AS LAST YEAR, ORGANISERS ARE EXPECTED A CAPACTIY CROWD OF 25,000, AND AS RESULT, THEY'VE UPPED THEIR SECURITY STAFF FROM THE USUAL 13 TO MORE THAN 200. POLICE ALSO BOOSTING RESOURCES FOR THE WEEK AFTER RICCARTON RACE DAY SAW 12 ARRESTS LAST YEAR. ALL OUR INTELLIGENCE SUGGESTS THAT ALCOHOL-RELATED HARM ` AND THAT INCLUDES FIGHTS AND ASSAULTS ` AS WELL AS ROAD POLICING IS OUR HIGHEST RISK DURING THIS WEEK, SO WE DO EVERYTHING WE CAN TO MINIMISE THAT.

FIRST UP TONIGHT ` AS THE DUST SETTLES FROM THAT SHOCK ALL BLACKS LOSS TO IRELAND, THE SQUAD'S ON ITS WAY TO ROME, LOOKING TO REGROUP QUICKLY BEFORE THE NEXT TEST AGAINST ITALY, BUT MINUS AN INJURED PLAYER, GEORGE MOALA. THE KIWI ACCOLADES CONTINUE FOR THE IRISH, IN PARTICULAR THEIR MANAWATU-RAISED HEAD COACH, FORMER BLUES ASSISTANT JOE SCHMIDT. OH, HE'S PROBABLY ONE OF THE BEST COACHES AROUND. YOU KNOW, LIKE, HE'S METICULOUS IN HIS WORK ETHIC, AND HE'S A GOOD ANALYST OF THE GAME, AND, YOU KNOW, THAT'S WHY IRELAND WANNA KEEP HIM. THAT'S WHY NZ WANTED TO BRING HIM HOME, YOU KNOW. YOU WANT GOOD COACHES WHEREVER YOU ARE. HANSEN IS STICKING BY HIS SELECTION OF RELUCTANT LOCK JEROME KAINO, SAYING HIS SETPIECE WORK WAS FINE BUT ADMITTING HE WAS FOUND OUT IN OTHER AREAS. THE ROLE OF PLAYING IN THAT MIDDLE OF THE PARK ROLE WAS NEW TO HIM, AND HE PROBABLY OVERTHOUGHT IT A WEE BIT AND THEREFORE DIDN'T CARRY AS STRONGLY AS HE POSSIBLY COULD, BUT, YOU KNOW, BEFORE THE MATCH, YOU'D SAY THAT WOULD BE HIS STRENGTH. THE GOOD NEWS FOR KAINO IS BRODIE RETALLICK IS ON HIS WAY TO JOIN THE SQUAD. THREE-TEST CENTRE SETA TAMANIVALU HAS ALSO BEEN RECALLED AS MIDFIELD COVER. HE WAS A STANDOUT FOR THE BARBARIANS IN LONDON YESTERDAY. THE MANY KIWI LINKS IN THE IRISH TEAM ARE TONIGHT STILL CELEBRATING THE HISTORIC WIN. THAT INCLUDES THE CARBERYS OF AUCKLAND. YOUNG IRELAND REPLACEMENT FIRST FIVE JOEY CARBERY HAS STRONG KIWIS ROOTS. CROWD ROARS OFF TO JOEY CARBERY. HE'S ON DEBUT. IN THE ORANGE BOOTS, THERE HE IS. IT'S A MOMENT THE CARBERYS OF COUNTY KILDARE AND AUCKLAND WILL NEVER FORGET. HE WAS ON THE BENCH; THAT WAS ENOUGH, BUT THEN TO COME ON AND THEN FOR THE IRISH TEAM TO WIN WAS A DREAM COME TRUE. I MEAN, THAT'S HOW HE DESCRIBED IT ` WAS A DREAM, A DREAM COME TRUE. JUST TURNED 21, JOEY CARBERY WAS BORN IN AUCKLAND, RAISED IN DARGAVILLE, MOVING TO IRELAND WITH HIS IRISH MUM AND DAD WHEN HE WAS 11. HE WAS ONLY PLAYING CLUB RUGBY BACK IN MAY, MAKING HIS EUROPEAN DEBUT FOR PROFESSIONAL TEAM LEINSTER JUST THREE WEEKS AGO. IT'S STILL PLAIN TO SEE AND HEAR HIS KIWI CONNECTIONS. < FIRST-EVER JERSEY OWNED FROM ANY SPORT. UH, BLUES JERSEY. < YOUR RUGBY HERO. UH, DANIEL CARTER. CARBERY'S CLEARLY A RUNNING 10. HE EVEN LOOKS LIKE A CLONE OF HIS HERO, CARTER. HE WAS OBSESSED WITH RUGBY AS A CHILD. WITH JOEY, IT WAS THE SAME PASSING RUGBY PITCHES. YOU'D HAVE TO GET HIM TO LOOK THE OTHER WAY, BECAUSE OTHERWISE HE'D WANNA STOP WITH HIS LITTLE YELLOW RUGBY BALL AND KICK IT OVER THE POSTS. NOW MURRAY FOR CARBERY. A BIT MORE KICKING COMING INTO THE IRISH GAME NOW, AND THAT'S A GOOD ONE, THOUGH. JOEY CARBERY'S RELATIONS WATCHED THE GAME YESTERDAY IN AUCKLAND, INCLUDING HIS IRISH GRANDFATHER. HIS FATHER PLAYED RUGBY; HE PLAYED RUGBY; HIS SON PLAYED RUGBY, AND NOW THE FOURTH JOSEPH CARBERY IN A ROW IS, UH` OR JOEY ` IS PLAYING FOR IRELAND. SO HE HAD TEARS AS JOEY CAME ON. THE IRISH HAVE BEEN SEARCHING FOR AN ATTACKING FIRST FIVE FOR YEARS. IT LOOKS LIKE THEY'VE FOUND HIM IN A YOUNG MAN WITH NZ RUGBY RUNNING THROUGH THOSE IRISH VEINS. THE ALL WHITES ARE GATHERING AHEAD OF THEIR FIRST INTERNATIONAL AT HOME IN MORE THAN TWO YEARS ` A WORLD CUP QUALIFIER. AMONG THOSE GEARING UP FOR SATURDAY'S MATCH AGAINST NEW CALEDONIA, A FAMILIAR FACE IS MAKING A WELCOME RETURN. KIMBERLEE DOWNS REPORTS. CONDITIONS WEREN'T EXACTLY PLEASANT IN AUCKLAND TODAY, BUT YOU GET THE FEELING A THUNDERSTORM COULD'VE STRUCK AND GLEN MOSS STILL WOULD'VE BEEN PLEASED TO BE THERE. JUST AS EXCITING AS THE FIRST TIME I WAS SELECTED, I THINK. IT'S BEEN A WHILE SINCE I'VE BEEN IN AND AROUND THE ENVIRONMENT, AND HAD A BLAST OUT THERE TODAY. IT'S BEEN MORE THAN TWO YEARS SINCE THE VETERAN KEEPER LAST PLAYED FOR THE ALL WHITES. HIS RECALL FOR THIS WEEKEND'S WORLD CUP QUALIFYING MATCH COMES AFTER THE 33-YEAR-OLD FLEW FROM WELLINGTON TO AUCKLAND TO STATE HIS CASE TO COACH ANTHONY HUDSON. WHETHER I'VE BEEN IN THE SQUAD OR OUT OF THE SQUAD, ANTHONY'S BEEN BRILLIANT AND ALWAYS PICKED UP THE PHONE AND CALLED ME, AND SO I THOUGHT THE LEAST I COULD DO WAS GO UP THERE ON MY DAY OFF AND HAVE A COFFEE WITH HIM AND SIT DOWN AND TALK ABOUT HOW MUCH I WANTED TO BE BACK IN THIS GROUP. COINCIDENTALLY, IT'S ALSO BEEN MORE THAN TWO YEARS SINCE THE ALL WHITES HAVE PLAYED IN NZ. 12 OF THE 23-STRONG SQUAD HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED A SENIOR INTERNATIONAL GAME AT HOME. IT'S A BIG HONOUR, AND I'M JUST REALLY PLEASED I GOT CHOSEN AND I'M HERE. PARTICULARLY GIVEN DEKLAN WYNNE ONCE FEARED THE DAY MIGHT NOT COME AFTER HE WAS CAUGHT UP IN THE ELIGIBILITY SAGA THAT ENDED THE OLY-WHITES' RIO OLYMPICS QUALIFYING CAMPAIGN. TO GO THROUGH ALL THAT AND THEN STILL BE HERE AND BE ABLE TO PLAY FOR NZ, PLAY IN FRONT OF ALL THE FANS, IT MEANS A LOT TO ME, YEAH. THE REST OF THE SQUAD'S DUE TO ARRIVE OVER THE NEXT DAY AS THE ROAD TO THE WORLD CUP IN RUSSIA CONTINUES. KIMBERLEE DOWNS, 1 NEWS. STILL WITH FOOTBALL, AND LIVERPOOL HAS SURGED TO THE TOP OF THE ENGLISH PREMIER LEAGUE FOR THE FIRST TIME IN OVER TWO YEARS AFTER THRASHING WATFORD 6-1 AT ANFIELD. THE REDS HELD SCORELESS FOR THE FIRST 25 MINUTES BEFORE THE FLOODGATES REALLY OPENED UP. COUTINHO. CHEERING DROWNS OUT COMMENTARY. IT IS COUNTINHO! 2-0! CROWD ROARS HERE'S LALLANA, AND 3-0! CROWD ROARS HERE'S STURRIDGE, THIS TIME, SURELY. NO, DENIED, BUT WIJNALDUM SCORES HIS FIRST LIVERPOOL GOAL. THAT IS 6 NOW. THREE GOALS EITHER SIDE OF HALFTIME FOR A 6-1 WIN, INCREASING LIVERPOOL DREAMS OF WINNING THEIR FIRST EPL TITLE SINCE 1990. THEY NOW SIT ONE POINT CLEAR OF CHELSEA AT THE TOP OF THE TABLE, WHILE ARSENAL WERE HELD TO A 1-1 DRAW AGAINST TOTTENHAM. POOR PERFORMANCE AT THE RIO OLYMPICS HAS CLAIMED ITS FIRST CASUALTY WITH CYCLING NZ'S HIGH PERFORMANCE DIRECTOR MARK ELLIOTT RESIGNING. ELLIOTT SPENT NINE YEARS IN THE ROLE, ESTABLISHING THE CENTRALISED PROGRAMME IN CAMBRIDGE AND OVERSEEING THE COMPLETION OF THE VELODROME. HE HELPED NZ CLAIM EIGHT WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP TITLES ON THE TRACK, BUT A SILVER AND THREE FOURTHS MEANT THE PROGRAMME FAILED TO DELIVER IN RIO. WHEN YOU COMMIT, YOU KNOW, WHAT I HAVE FOR THE LAST NINE YEARS INTO THIS, THEN, YEAH, YOU TAKE IT BOTH PROFESSIONALLY AND PERSONALLY. YOU ALSO GOTTA KNOW WHEN THE RIGHT TIME IS TO STEP ASIDE. SO THIS IS THE RIGHT TIME. ELLIOTT SAYS AMONG HIS HIGHLIGHTS ARE THE MEN'S TEAM PURSUIT WORLD TITLE IN 2015 AND LINDA VILLUMSEN'S TIME TRIAL WIN ON THE ROAD. THE TOUGHEST YACHTING RACE IN THE WORLD, THE VENDEE GLOBE, IS UNDERWAY OFF FRANCE, AND AT LAST NZ IS REPRESENTED. MARTIN TASKER CAUGHT UP WITH KIWI CONRAD COLMAN BEFORE HE SET OFF ON THE NON-STOP SOLO VOYAGE. SOME WOULD SAY HIS T-SHIRT SAYS IT ALL. CONRAD COLMAN IS IN NEW YORK FOR THE START OF HIS QUALIFYING RACE ACROSS THE ATLANTIC, ALLOWING HIM TO COMPETE IN THE VENDEE GLOBE. IT'S OFTEN COMPARED TO THE EVEREST OF THE SEAS, BUT NOT EVEN THAT DOES IT JUSTICE. SINCE SIR EDMUND HILLARY, THE FIRST GUY TO CLIMB MT EVEREST ` A KIWI, NATURALLY ` ABOUT 5000 PEOPLE HAVE CLIMBED THE MOUNTAIN, WHEREAS ONLY 55 PEOPLE HAVE EVER FINISHED THE VENDEE GLOBE. THE 32-YEAR-OLD IS DRIVEN BY TRYING TO SEE HOW HARD HE CAN DRIVE HIMSELF. IT'S GONNA BE AN 80- 0R 90-DAY RACE. I'M ALONE. I HAVE TO COME UP WITH SOLUTIONS TACTICALLY, MECHANICALLY IN ORDER TO STAY IN THE RACE, AND I DON'T THINK THERE'S A GREATER SPORTING CHALLENGE THAT EXISTS ON EARTH AT THE MOMENT. HAVING TWICE RACED AROUND THE WORLD, COLMAN DOES HAVE A PROVEN RECORD, BUT EVEN WINNING THE DOUBLE-HANDED GLOBAL OCEAN RACE FOUR YEARS AGO HASN'T MADE IT EASY TO RAISE MONEY. IT'S NOT THE VOLVO OCEAN RACE. IT DOESN'T COME TO AUCKLAND OR WELLINGTON, AND SO IT'S BEEN DIFFICULT TO DRUM UP INTEREST. PROMOTING CLEAN TECHNOLOGY IS ONE OF HIS SELLING POINTS. THE BOAT, NAMED '100% NATURAL ENERGY', IS THE ONLY YACHT WITHOUT A CONVENTIONAL ENGINE FOR POWER. I CONVERTED MY BOAT TO RUN COMPLETELY ON ELECTRICITY AND TO BE COMPLETELY RUN BY RENEWABLE ENERGIES, AND I'D REALLY LIKE TO PROMOTE THIS, BECAUSE IT'S THE FUTURE. WITH AN 11-YEAR-OLD BOAT, COLMAN'S GOAL IS SIMPLY TO FINISH, LAYING THE FOUNDATIONS FOR A POTENTIALLY WINNING CAMPAIGN IN FOUR YEARS' TIME. WHOO-HOO! MARTIN TASKER, 1 NEWS. ONE OF OLYMPIC POLE VAULTER ELIZA MCCARTNEY'S AGE-GROUP RECORDS WAS BROKEN AT THE WEEKEND BY OLIVIA MCTAGGART (16). WHILE IT WAS HER FIRST TIME CLAIMING A NATIONAL RECORD, IT'S SOMETHING HER BROTHER IS MAKING A HABIT OF. ABBY WILSON EXPLAINS. I'M GOING TO SMASH YOU. NO, YOU'RE NOT. NOTHING LIKE SIBLING RIVALRY TO KEEP YOU AIMING HIGH. WE LIKE TO PUSH EACH OTHER WITH OUR ACHIEVEMENTS. CAM BEING THE OLDER ONE, I LIKE TO NOT REALLY GO IN HIS FOOTSTEPS, BUT I TRY TO GO ONE ABOVE. ONE ABOVE. BOTH LAUGH BUT WEIGHTLIFTER CAM MCTAGGART IS A TOUGH ACT TO BEAT. HE CURRENTLY HOLDS 16 AGE-GROUP RECORDS AND HAS BROKEN MORE THAN 130 IN VARIOUS WEIGHT DIVISIONS SINCE PICKING UP THE BAR SIX YEARS AGO. IT DEFINITELY GIVES ME THAT THE CONFIDENCE I NEED, KNOWING I'M BEATING THE PEOPLE BEFORE ME, SO I CAN GO ON TO BEAT THE ONES THAT ARE THE BEST AT THE MOMENT. ONE OF THOSE IS HIS COACH, RICHIE PATTERSON, WHOSE SILVER AT DELHI'S COMMONWEALTH GAMES INSPIRED CAM TO START LIFTING. TWO WEEKS AGO IN MALAYSIA, HE BROKE PATTERSON'S 13-YEAR-OLD RECORD IN THE 77KG JUNIOR SNATCH. WE HAVE AN ELITE STANDARD, WHICH IS KIND OF WHAT YOU'RE CAPABLE OF DOING AT THE OLYMPICS AND WHAT PERCENTAGE OF THAT WOULD BE A MEDAL AT THE OLYMPICS AND WHAT PERCENTAGE OF THAT WOULD BE A MEDAL AT THE COMMON WEALTH GAMES, SO CAM, AT THE MOMENT, IS TRACKING AT ABOUT 130% OF WHERE I WAS AT HIS AGE, SO THAT IS KIND OF PHENOMENAL. CHICKEN LEGS. YES, YOU CAN ALWAYS RELY ON FAMILY TO KEEP YOU GROUNDED. THE SIBLINGS DID GYMNASTICS TOGETHER BEFORE GOING THEIR SEPARATE WAYS, BUT NOW THEIR STORIES ARE ALIGNING AGAIN. AT THE WEEKEND OLIVIA PUT THE MCTAGGART NAME ON A NEW NATIONAL MARK, ADDING 11CM TO HER MENTOR ELIZA MCCARTNEY'S UNDER-17 RECORD. 4.22. LIKE, THAT'S 10CM MORE THAN MY SEASON GOAL. 4.22. LIKE, THAT'S 10CM MORE THAN MY SEASON GOAL. FOR BOTH OF THEM, THE 2018 COMMONWEALTH GAMES ARE IN THEIR SIGHTS. IT'S ALSO WHERE WE WERE BORN, IN THE GOLD COAST, AND SO (CHUCKLES) IT'S KIND OF, 'WE'RE JUST UP THE ROAD.' AND IF THEIR BATTLE UP THE ROPE IS ANYTHING TO GO BY, THEY'LL BE PUSHING EACH OTHER EVERY STEP OF THE WAY. ABBY WILSON, 1 NEWS. BIG FUTURES AHEAD. THERE IS A BOXING ANNOUNCEMENT TOMORROW AT 11.30 ` WHERE JOSEPH PARKER WILL BE FIGHTING FOR HIS WORLD TITLE. THERE'S A GARDEN IN CHRISTCHURCH ON SEVEN SHARP TODAY.
