GOOD EVENING, EVERYONE. OUR RESIDENT RIDGE REMAINS IN CHARGE WITH SUNNY CONDITIONS FOR MOST. HOWEVER, IT STARTS TO LOSE ITS DOMINANCE TOMORROW AS IT MOVES NORTH-EAST. PREPARE FOR A HOT WEDNESDAY OUT EAST WITH TEMPERATURES SET TO CREEP TOWARDS 30. BUT A FRONT MOVING UP THE SOUTH ISLAND WILL HAVE YOU REACHING FOR YOUR RAINCOAT. 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. NO WOMAN CAN DARE TO STEP OUT WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF HER HUSBAND REGARDLESS OF WHOEVER YOU ARE, WHEREVER YOU ARE. HITTING OUT AT WOMEN AND JEWS. CONCERNS AT A MUSLIM CLERIC'S CONTROVERSIAL SPEECH AT AN AUCKLAND MOSQUE. A POWERFUL EARTHQUAKE ROCKS JAPAN, TRIGGERING A TSUNAMI WARNING FOR THE SAME AREA DEVASTATED BY THE DEADLY 2011 TIDAL WAVE. AND QUAKE DAMAGE FORCES RAW SEWAGE TO FLOW THROUGH BACKYARDS. ABSOLUTLEY HORRIFIED. THE BIG PROBLEM CAUSING A STINK IN KAIKOURA. KIA ORA. GOOD EVENING. JEWS ARE ENEMIES AND WANT TO RULE THE WORLD, AND WOMEN SHOULDN'T BE ALLOWED OUT WITHOUT THEIR HUSBAND'S PERMISSION. JUST SOME OF THE VIEWS OF A CONTROVERSIAL MUSLIM CLERIC SPARKING OUTRAGE AFTER IT WAS POSTED ONLINE. THE HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSION HAS DESCRIBED THE SPEECHES AT A SOUTH AUCKLAND MOSQUE AS APPALLING. IT ALSO SAYS THE INTOLERANCE IS NOT WELCOME HERE. YVONNE TAHANA REPORTS. CHRISTIANS ARE USING THE JEWS, AND THE JEWS ARE USING EVERYBODY. ACCORDING TO MUSLIM CLERIC MOHAMMAD ANWAR SAHIB, JEWS WANT TO RULE THE WORLD. IN LECTURES AT HIS SOUTH AUCKLAND MOSQUE, HE ALSO TEACHES JEWS ARE ENEMIES AND THAT WOMEN ARE UNDER THEIR HUSBANDS' RULE. NO WOMAN CAN DARE TO STEP OUT WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF HER HUSBAND, THE VIDEOS NOW WIDELY VIEWED ON YOUTUBE. THIS KIND OF ANTI-SEMITISM CAN LEAD TO ATTACKS ON JEWS, AND THAT'S WHAT WE'RE REALLY CONCERNED ABOUT. MOHAMMAD SAHIB CLAIMS HE'S BEEN TAKEN OUT OF CONTEXT AND HAS NEVER PREACHED HATRED TOWARDS OTHERS. AT THE MOSQUE TODAY THERE WAS SUPPORT FROM HIS FOLLOWERS I WOULD SAY HE'S A GOOD MAN. YOU SHOULD DEFINITELY COME AND LISTEN TO HIM SPEAK. < IS HE PREACHING HATE? DO YOU THINK THAT HE` NO WAY. MOST OF THE PEOPLE FROM EVERY COMMUNITY, EVERY SOCIETY, EVERY BELIEF IS WELCOME THERE. AND WE BELIEVE IN THE RACE OF HUMANITY FIRST AND FOREMOST, NOT ANYTHING ELSE. BUT SOME OFFICIALS AT THE MOSQUE WERE CLEARLY UNCOMFORTABLE WITH A FEMALE REPORTER. YOU'RE NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO INTERVIEW SHEIK. YOU WILL BE ABLE TO. WELL, WHY WILL HE BE ABLE TO? BECAUSE IT'S ISLAMIC LAW. THE FEDERATION OF ISLAMIC ASSOCIATIONS SAYS IT REJECTS ALL FORMS OF HATE SPEECH BUT DID NOT SAY IF THIS QUALIFIES AS HATE SPEECH ` THOSE ENEMIES OF MUSLIMS ARE THOSE WHO CALL THEMSELVES JEWS. HOWEVER, ONE MUSLIM LEADER IS REACHING OUT TO JEWISH KIWIS. AND THE ONLY WAY IS TO STAND IN SOLIDARITY WITH EACH OTHER, TO HAVE EMPATHY WITH EACH OTHER. RACE RELATIONS COMMISSIONER DAME SUSAN DEVOY SAID PREJUDICE AGAINST JEWISH PEOPLE HAD NO PLACE IN NZ. BUT SHE ALSO URGED KIWIS TO UNDERSTAND THAT THESE WERE THE VIEWS OF A SINGLE IMAM, AND THEY WERE HIS VIEWS ALONE. THE HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSION IS NOW SPEAKING TO THE WIDER MUSLIM COMMUNITY. ONE OF ITS QUESTIONS ` THE FUTURE OF THIS CONTROVERSIAL CLERIC. YVONNE TAHANA, 1 NEWS. THERE'S RELIEF IN JAPAN TONIGHT AFTER A POWERFUL EARTHQUAKE SPARKED A TSUNAMI WARNING. RESIDENTS WERE TOLD TO FLEE TO HIGHER GROUND WITH OFFICIAL WARNINGS OF WAVES OF UP TO 3M. THE 7.4 MAGNITUDE QUAKE STRUCK OFF THE COAST OF FUKUSHIMA, THE EPICENTRE NOT FAR FROM THE 2011 QUAKE WHICH TRIGGERED A TSUNAMI THAT KILLED MORE THAN 18,000 PEOPLE. JESSICA MUTCH REPORTS. A 1.4M WALL OF WATER. SLOWLY FLOWING UPSTREAM DUE TO THE INFLUENCE OF TSUNAMI WAVES. A SERIES OF TSUNAMIS SURGING THROUGH THE WATERWAYS OF FUKUSHIMA. THEY WERE CAUSED BY THIS. A 7.4 MAGNITUDE SHAKE STRIKING JUST BEFORE 6AM LOCAL TIME. AND THAT TRIGGERED A TSUNAMI WARNING FOR THE EAST COAST OF JAPAN. TRANSLATOR: PLEASE EVACUATE RIGHT NOW. TRANSLATOR: LEAVE COASTAL AREAS OR RIVERSIDE IMMEDIATELY. TRANSLATOR: THE WATER MAY RUSH UP THE RIVERS. THEREFORE, PLEASE EVACUATE TO HIGHER GROUND. THE SHAKING HALTED RAIL SERVICES. TRAINS RUMBLE AND FUKUSHIMA WAS BOUGHT TO A STANDSTILL AS PEOPLE FLED TO HIGHER GROUND. THE QUAKE WAS FELT AS FAR AWAY AS TOKYO. RUGBY STAR COREY JANE TWEETED HIS ROOM WAS WIGGLING. MANY HAD THE IMAGES OF THE 2011 TSUNAMI IN THEIR MIND. TRANSLATOR: I FELT STRONG SHAKING, BUT IT WAS WEAKER THAN THE SHAKING IN 2011. I THOUGHT SOMETHING TERRIBLE MIGHT HAPPEN, SO I TRIED TO ESCAPE TO HIGHER GROUND RIGHT AWAY. THE 2011 QUAKE WAS 9 MAGNITUDE, CREATING A 15M TSUNAMI THAT KILLED 18,000 PEOPLE. AND IT CAUSED A HUGE NUCLEAR DISASTER AT THE FUKUSHIMA PLANT. SO TODAY, CHECKING THE PLANT WAS A TOP PRIORITY FOR OFFICIALS. OPERATIONS WERE HALTED TEMPORARILY BEFORE IT WAS GIVEN THE ALL-CLEAR. TRANSLATOR: WE RECEIVED A REPORT THAT THERE WAS NO PROBLEM AT THE FUKUSHIMA DAIICHI NUCLEAR POWER PLANT. THE TSUNAMI WARNINGS HAVE NOW BEEN DOWNGRADED. AUTHORITIES SAY TWO PEOPLE HAD MINOR INJURIES CAUSED BY THE EARTHQUAKE. TRANSLATOR: LARGE FURNITURE DIDN'T FALL OVER, BUT BOOKS AND THINGS DID. I WASN'T SERIOUSLY HURT. FOR THE PEOPLE OF FUKUSHIMA, NERVES ARE FRAYED, BUT THEY'RE BREATHING A SIGN OF RELIEF IT WASN'T A REPEAT OF FIVE YEARS AGO. JESSICA MUTCH, 1 NEWS. ONE OF THE BIGGEST CHALLENGES FACING QUAKE-RAVAGED KAIKOURA RIGHT NOW IS A SHATTERED SEWAGE SYSTEM STRUGGLING TO COPE, AND ONE OF THE EXTREME DOWNSIDES OF THAT IS WHEN PEOPLE IGNORE THE WARNINGS NOT TO FLUSH THEIR TOILETS, LISA DAVIES HAS MORE. WITH A BACKYARD THAT LOOKS LIKE THIS, IT'S NO WONDER DEMELZA SWEENEY THOUGHT THINGS COULDN'T GET ANY WORSE. HOW WRONG SHE WAS. YOU CAN SEE THE FIBRES OF TOILET PAPER, THERE WERE BITS OF POO FLOATING PAST AND GOING OUT THE OTHER SIDE. HER WHOLE BACK YARD AWASH WITH RAW SEWAGE THAT JUST KEPT POURING IN. ABSOLUTELY HORRIFIED. AND IT ABSOLUTELY STINKS. IT CAN BE REALLY QUITE HORRENDOUS, ESPECIALLY IF THE BREEZE IS BLOWING. THE PROBLEM ` PEOPLE FLUSHING THEIR TOILETS WHEN THEY SHOULDN'T. THE SEWAGE FLOWED RIGHT THROUGH THIS GARAGE, BUT THAT'S ALMOST THE LEAST OF THEIR WORRIES IN THAT RESPECT, BECAUSE THE WHOLE THING HAS DROPPED BY 1.5M. THE FOUNDATION USED TO SIT UP HERE. DOWN THE ROAD, JANA MILLIGAN'S HUSBAND IS SEETHING AT THE PEOPLE CAUSING THIS. HE WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THEIR NAMES AND ADDRESSES, AND HE WOULD LIKE TO SEND SOMETHING BACK TO THEM. (LAUGHS) SEWAGE SEEPING ONTO THE YOUNG FAMILY'S LAWN. IT'S DANGEROUS FOR THE CHILDREN, SO THEY'RE NOT ALLOWED TO PLAY IN THE GARDEN. THEY'VE MADE THEIR OWN TOILET, AND REALLY WISH OTHERS WOULD FOLLOW SUIT. THE RESPONSIBILITY FOR FIXING THE SHATTERED SEWAGE SYSTEM LIES ON THIS MAN'S SHOULDERS. IT STINKS. THERE'S AN UNPLEASANT ODOUR. YEAH, ABSOLUTELY. (LAUGHS) THIS OXIDATION POND EMPTIED BY THE QUAKE. THE POND LINER HAS A BIG TEAR RIGHT TO THE BOTTOM, AND ALL THE WASTEWATER'S JUST COME OUT OF THERE. IT'S JUST ONE PROBLEM ON A VERY LONG LIST. MOST OF THE DAMAGE AND SHATTERED PIPES ARE UNDERGROUND, BUT HERE YOU CAN SEE THE SEWAGE PIPE HAS BEEN PUSHED UP A WHOLE METRE. IT USED TO LIE FLAT. HE'S HOPING TO GET TOILETS FLUSHING AGAIN BY THE END OF THE WEEK, BUT UNTIL THEN... YOU MAY HAVE WATER, OR YOU'RE FLUSHING YOUR TOILETS, BUT IT STILL FLOWS SOMEWHERE. IT FLOWS HERE. LITTLE DID THEY KNOW WHEN THEY PUT THE 'LADIES' SIGN ON THE GARAGE, IT WOULD BE SO APT. LISA DAVIES, 1 NEWS. SCIENTISTS SAY LAST WEEK'S 7.8 EARTHQUAKE CAUSED A MAJOR RUPTURE TO AN OFFSHORE FAULT LINE. A CREW ON THE NIWA SHIP 'TANGAROA' WERE STUDYING THE HIKURANGI TRENCH WHEN MONDAY'S QUAKE HIT. THE AREA IS NZ'S LARGEST SOURCE OF EARTHQUAKE AND TSUNAMI RISK. WE'VE RECOGNISED THAT IT MUST HAVE BROKEN QUITE RECENTLY, SO WE'RE PRETTY SURE THAT'S RUPTURED DURING THE NOVEMBER 14 EARTHQUAKE. NIWA SCIENTISTS SAYS MORE RESEARCH IS NEEDED INTO NZ'S UNDERWATER FAULTS. AND SOME GOOD NEWS FOR BIG BUSINESSES IN KAIKOURA TODAY. AN OFFER OF GOVERNMENT SUPPORT TO HELP PAY WORKERS WHILE THE TOWN'S CLOSED OFF TO TOURIST TRAFFIC. IT'S BEEN WELCOMED, BUT THE COMPANIES ARE ALSO PLEADING FOR URGENT ACTION TO FIX THE LOCAL MARINA. WILL HINE REPORTS FROM KAIKOURA. KAIKOURA'S BIGGEST DRAWCARDS ARE FOUND OFFSHORE. THE BIG COMPANIES TAKING TOURISTS OUT TO SEE THEM TODAY TOLD THEY'LL BE GIVEN THE SAME AID THAT WAS OFFERED TO SMALL BUSINESSES LAST WEEK. WE'VE TAKEN THE CALL TO EXPAND THAT TO ALL SIZE BUSINESSES IN KAIKOURA AND THE OTHER TOWNS LISTED. APPLAUSE IT MEANS EACH WORKER WILL GET PAID $500 A WEEK FOR EIGHT WEEKS. I THINK THAT'S FANTASTIC. BUT IT'S NOT ALL ABOUT MONEY. WITH THE QUAKE RAISING THE FORESHORE AROUND HERE, THIS MARINA NEEDS TO BE DREDGED SO THAT BOATS CAN COME AND GO MORE EASILY, INCLUDING AT LOW TIDE. THE BIGGEST ISSUE FOR US CURRENTLY IS THE ACCESS TO THE SEA. SO WE NEED AN URGENT FIX IN TERMS OF DREDGING OUT THE HARBOUR SO WE CAN OPERATE NOW. BUT WE ALSO NEED TO CONSIDER A LONGER TERM FIX WITH THE MARINA. THAT MESSAGE TODAY PUT TO ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT MINISTER STEVEN JOYCE IN PERSON. WHO WOULD PAY FOR THAT DREDGING? TOO EARLY TO SAY. IT'S OFFICIALLY THE COUNCIL'S RESPONSIBILITY, BUT AS I SAID, THEY DON'T NECESSARILY HAVE THE RESOURCES, SO THE GOVERNMENT IS PREPARED TO HELP IF REQUIRED. GETTING THE BOATS OUT IS A KEY STEP IN GETTING THE TOURISTS BACK. WILL HINE, 1 NEWS. ALSO NEEDING SUPPORT, WELLINGTON RESIDENTS EVACUATED AND NOW HOMELESS BECAUSE OF QUAKE DAMAGE. MANY OF THE HUNDREDS OF DISPLACED TENANTS ARE STRUGGLING TO FIND A PLACE TO LIVE. ANDREW MORRISON REPORTS. PETE MCDONALD'S LIVED IN THIS INNER CITY APARTMENT FOR 16 YEARS. NOW HE'S WORRIED HE'LL LOSE EVERYTHING, BECAUSE THE MOVIE CAR PARK NEXT DOOR IS AT RISK OF COLLAPSE AND SET TO BE DEMOLISHED. HOW MUCH OF YOUR LIFE IS STILL IN THAT APARTMENT? ALL OF IT, BAR WHAT I'M WEARING. HIS APARTMENT WASN'T DAMAGED IN THE QUAKE, BUT IT'S INSIDE THE CORDON. HE'S BEEN LOCKED OUT SINCE THURSDAY, ALONG WITH HIS GIRLFRIEND AND HER DAUGHTER. GIVE US 10 MINUTES TO GO AND GET SOME WORLDLY POSSESSIONS LIKE MY LATE FATHER'S WATCH ` IT'S ALL I HAVE. THINGS FOR THE GIRLS, THINGS THEY DESPERATELY NEED AND I NEED. HE'S ONE OF MORE THAN 300 WELLINGTON RESIDENTS DISPLACED BECAUSE OF THE QUAKE. SOME ARE OUT FOR AT LEAST A MONTH. YEAH, IT'S UNCERTAIN AT THE MOMENT. I REALLY DON'T KNOW. I'M CAMPED AT FRIEND'S PLACE, WHO'S BEEN GENEROUS AND KIND ENOUGH TO LET US TAKE OVER HER APARTMENT. THAT'S ONLY GOING TO BE UNTIL THE END OF THIS WEEK, AND THEN WE NEED TO FIND SOMEWHERE TO LIVE. THE WELLINGTON REGIONAL COUNCIL HAS PUT UP SIX PEOPLE AT THIS VICTORIA UNIVERSITY RESIDENCE, BUT THAT'S ONLY SHORT-TERM. IT'S HORRIBLE, BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE ANY OF MY STUFF. THE COUNCIL SAYS IT CAN PROVIDE FOOD AND CLOTHING VOUCHERS FOR SOME. THOSE ARE PEOPLE WHO ARE REALLY IN NEED AND DON'T HAVE ACCESS TO FUNDS AT THE MOMENT. THIS IS A SHORT-TERM MEASURE, THOUGH. THE COUNCIL'S EMERGENCY WELFARE TEAM IS WORRIED THAT EVACUATED TENANTS STAYING WITH FRIENDS OR FAMILY WILL SOON NEED SOMEWHERE ELSE TO STAY. AND IT'S TALKING WITH THE MINISTRY OF SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT AND MBIE ABOUT DEVELOPING SOME SORT OF RECOVERY PACKAGE. WE'RE HOPING TO GET SOME SENSE FROM THEM ABOUT WHAT THAT WILL LOOK LIKE IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. AND THERE'S PRESSURE ON THE GOVERNMENT TO ACT FASTER. WE'D BE URGING THE GOVERNMENT TO STEP UP AND OFFER RESIDENTS THAT SAME SORT OF SUPPORT BUSINESSES HAVE BEEN RECEIVING. SUPPORT THAT CAN'T COME SOON ENOUGH FOR A GROWING NUMBER OF RESIDENTS STUCK IN HOUSING LIMBO AS AFTERSHOCKS AND EVACUATIONS CONTINUE. ANDREW MORRISON, 1 NEWS AND HAZARDOUS MATERIAL'S BEEN FOUND IN THE WELLINGTON BUILDING DUE TO BE DEMOLISHED BECAUSE OF EARTHQUAKE DAMAGE. THE COUNCIL CONFIRMED THE MOLESWORTH STREET BUILDING CONTAINS ASBESTOS, BUT SAYS IT'S UNLIKELY TO AFFECT THE DEMOLITION PROCESS. DEMOLITION ISN'T EXPECTED TO START TILL FRIDAY NOW, WITH CREWS STILL WORKING TO TURN OFF GAS AND POWER. THE BRITISH HIGH COMMISSION WAS ALSO CLOSED TODAY AFTER AN INSPECTION FOUND QUAKE DAMAGE. PEOPLE ARE BEING UGED TO STAY AWAY FROM THE CONWAY RIVER SOUTH OF KAIKOURA. WELL-KNOWN KIWI CHILDREN'S CLOTHING RETAILER PUMPKIN PATCH IS CLOSING DOWN, WITH RECEIVERS FOR THE TROUBLED COMPANY UNABLE TO FIND A BUYER. STORES WILL REMAIN OPEN UNTIL THE END OF DECEMBER, BUT THE RESTRUCTURE AT HEAD OFFICE WILL SEE 63 JOB LOSSES THIS WEEK. ALL STOCK WILL GO ON SALE FROM THIS WEEKEND. GIFT VOUCHERS WILL BE HONOURED UNTIL THE STOCK RUNS OUT. PUMPKIN PATCH HAD 160 SHOPS IN NZ AND AUSTRALIA EARLIER THIS YEAR AND NEARLY 1600 STAFF. DONALD TRUMP'S GONE ON VIDEO TO CONFIRM HE'LL WITHDRAW FROM THE TRANS-PACIFIC TRADE DEAL ON HIS FIRST DAY AS AMERICAN PRESIDENT. HE'D ALWAYS SIGNALLED GETTING RID OF THE 12-NATION TPP, WHICH NEW ZEALAND IS PART OF. I GOING TO ISSUE A NOTIFCATION OF INTENT TO WITHDRAW FROM THE TRANS-PACIFIC PARTNERSHIP, A POTENTIAL DISASTER FOR OUR COUNTRY. COINCIDENTALLY, JOHN KEY TODAY VISITED THE AMERICAN WARSHIP USS SAMPSON IN AUCKLAND TO SAY THANK YOU FOR HELPING OUT AFTER THE KAIKOURA QUAKE. THE UNITED STATES ISN'T AN ISLAND, YOU KNOW. IT CAN'T JUST SIT THERE AND SAY IT'S NOT GONNA TRADE WITH THE REST OF THE WORLD. AT SOME POINT, THEY'RE GONNA HAVE TO GIVE SOME CONSIDERATION TO THAT, BUT, NATURALLY, WE'RE A BIT DISAPPOINTED. THE PRIME MINISTER SAYS NZ HAS OTHER OPTIONS WITH TALKS TO UPGRADE OUR FREE TRADE DEAL WITH CHINA AND HOPEFULLY RE-STARTING TALKS WITH RUSSIA. AND THE CONTROVERSIAL PHILIPPINES PRESIDENT WHO SAYS HE'S LOOKING FORWARD TO WORKING WITH DONALD TRUMP IS IN NZ. RODRIGO DUTERTE, SEEN HERE MEETING CHINA'S PRESIDENT, XI JIN-PING, AT THE APEC SUMMIT A FEW DAYS AGO, IS ON A QUICK OVERNIGHT STOPOVER IN AUCKLAND. HE EARNED HIS NICKNAME 'THE PUNISHER' FOR HIS HARDLINE STAND ON DRUGS, WHICH HAS RESULTED IN THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE BEING KILLED. DUTERTE ALSO BACKS A LAW THAT COULD SEND CHILDREN AS YOUNG AS 12 TO PRISON. HE'S ON HIS WAY HOME FROM APEC IN PERU AND MEETS OUR FOREIGN AFFAIRS MINISTER MURRAY MCCULLY TONIGHT. THE BOSS OF AUCKLAND KINDERGARTENS SAYS EVERY SCHOOL IS BEING EXTRA VIGILANT AFTER A TREE TOPPLED LAST WEEK AT A DAYCARE CENTRE. THE INCIDENT'S LED TO A BUSY TIME FOR ARBORISTS, WITH SOME URGENT CASES BEING REVEALED. HERE'S REBECCA WRIGHT. IT'S A SIGHT WHICH WOULD PANIC ANY PARENT. WORKSAFE IS STILL INVESTIGATING WHAT CAUSED THIS TREE TO TOPPLE OVER AT DISCOVERIES DAYCARE IN AUCKLAND. BUT IT'S ACTED AS A WAKE-UP CALL FOR EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATORS EVERYWHERE. I'VE BEEN LOOKING AT DAYCARE CENTRES EVERY DAY. HALF A DOZEN-ODD DAYCARE CENTRES EVERY DAY AND TALKING WITH MANAGERS AND ASKING WHAT THEY'RE CONCERNED ABOUT AND GIVING THEM MY ADVICE ON WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE. ARBORIST ANDREW YOUNG SAYS SOME OF THE ISSUES HE'S SEEN ARE URGENT. I LOOKED AT A DAYCARE CENTRE IN HENDERSON, AND THERE'S A HALF-DEAD TREE. I LOOKED AT IT BACK IN MARCH. I QUOTED IT TO BE REMOVED. THEY'VE DONE NOTHING ABOUT IT. THEY'VE NOW GIVEN ME THE GO-AHEAD TO REMOVE IT. THIS TREE CAME DOWN IN CORNWALL PARK OVER THE WEEKEND, TRAPPING TWO PEOPLE WHO HAD TO BE RESCUED. A REPORT IS UNDERWAY INTO WHAT WENT WRONG. BUT PROPERLY MAINTAINED, TREES ARE AN IMPORTANT PART OF MANY PLAYGROUNDS AND PARKS, PROVIDING SHADE IN SUMMER AND SHELTER FROM RAIN, AS WELL AS A GREAT PLACE TO PLAY. CHILDREN'S SAFETY IS ABSOLUTELY NUMBER ONE. THAT'S WHAT KEEPS ME AWAKE AT NIGHT. THAT'S WHAT I'VE TALKED TO OUR STAFF ABOUT. THAT'S WHAT OUR STAFF ARE AWARE ABOUT, AND I THINK THIS IS JUST A HEIGHTENED AWARENESS TO BE EXTRA VIGILANT. TANYA HARVEY IS THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OF THE AUCKLAND KINDERGARTEN ASSOCIATION. SHE SAYS UNDER HEALTH AND SAFETY LEGISLATION, TREES ARE A HAZARD AND MUST BE CHECKED DAILY. IT'S JUST THAT SURVEILLANCE ` AND IF TEACHERS ARE EVER UNSURE, THEN THEY CONTACT US IMMEDIATELY, AND WE WOULD GET SPECIALISED PEOPLE OUT, LIKE AN ARBORIST. THE MINISTRY OF EDUCATION SAYS RESPONSIBILITY FOR SCHOOL TREES LIES WITH THE BOARDS OF TRUSTEES. REBECCA WRIGHT, 1 NEWS IN THE BATTLE FOR MOSUL, ISIS FIGHTERS ARE WAGING WAR WITH THE HELP OF WESTERN WEAPONS. COMING UP ` WHY ISIS IS HAVING NO TROUBLE ARMING ITSELF. TROUBLING TIMES FOR THE SINGER KANYE WEST. AFTER SOME BIZARRE ONSTAGE BEHAVIOUR, THE RAPPER'S NOW BEEN HOSPITALISED. AND HARLEY DAVIDSON, INDIAN, BMW AND THE REST ` A CLASSIC MOTORCYCLE COLLECTION OF MORE THAN 300 BIKES FINDS A NEW HOME IN INVERCARGILL. THE TWO TRAMPERS WHO MYSTERIOUSLY DIED IN THE WAIRARAPA HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED AS FOREIGN NATIONALS WHO'VE LIVED IN NZ FOR SOME TIME. THE MEN, IN THEIR 30S, WERE DUE BACK ON SUNDAY FROM THEIR OVERNIGHT TRAMP TO ALPHA HUT IN THE TARARUA FOREST PARK. DESPITE GOOD WEATHER CONDITIONS, POLICE BELIEVE THEY DIDN'T MAKE IT TO THE HUT. THEIR BODIES WERE FOUND WITHIN A KILOMETRE OF IT. POST-MORTEM EXAMINATIONS WILL BE CARRIED OUT TOMORROW. A HAKA PERFORMANCE BY A GROUP OF KIWIS AT SCHOOLIES CELEBRATIONS ON THE GOLD COAST QUICKLY TURNED UGLY AFTER A MAN WALKED THROUGH THE GROUP, MOCKING THE WAR DANCE. UP TO A DOZEN PEOPLE BECAME INVOLVED IN THE PUNCH UP AT THE MALL, WITH POLICE HAVING TO TACKLE SOME TO THE GROUND AND PULL OTHERS AWAY. 11 PEOPLE WERE ARRESTED. AS THE BATTLE FOR MOSUL CONTINUES IN IRAQ, ISIS FIGHTERS SEEM TO HAVE NO SHORTAGE OF WEAPONS. AN INVESTIGATION HAS FOUND SOME OF THE AMMUNITION BEING USED HAS COME FROM WESTERN SUPPLIES WHICH HAVE BEEN DIVERTED INTO THE HANDS OF THE MILITANTS. WITH MORE, HERE'S THE BBC'S GORDON CARRERA. A STACK OF MORTARS LAY READY TO FIRE. THIS WAS A POSITION USED BY SO-CALLED ISLAMIC STATE IN A FAMILY GARDEN IN MOSUL. THAT'S FIVE NOW. JAMES BEVAN AND HIS TEAM FROM THE GROUP CONFLICT ARMAMENT RESEARCH CAREFULLY DOCUMENT THE WEAPONS, NOW MADE SAFE, TO ESTABLISH THEIR ORIGIN. I MEAN, THERE'S A LOT OF BLOOD AROUND. WE ENTER A HOUSE RECENTLY OCCUPIED BY IS FIGHTERS. IN THE FRONT ROOM ARE SUICIDE VESTS. SO THESE ARE ANTI-PERSONNEL ROCKETS. AND IN THE BACK ROOMS, THE TEAM FINDS WHAT THEY'RE REALLY AFTER ` RIGHT, THIS ONE. BOXES THAT ONCE STORED AMMUNITION WITH MARKINGS THEY CAN TRACE. OK, ALL RIGHT, THIS IS EASTERN EUROPEAN. I NEED YOUR LIGHT. THE TEAM HAS CARRIED OUT PAINSTAKING RESEARCH CATALOGUING SERIAL NUMBERS AND TRACING THE ROUTES. THEY FOUND CRATES OF AMMUNITION AND ROCKETS MANUFACTURED IN FACTORIES IN EASTERN EUROPE. THESE WERE BOUGHT BY THE GOVERNMENTS OF THE US AND SAUDI ARABIA. THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO BE SHIPPED THROUGH TURKEY TO REBEL GROUPS THE US AND SAUDI ARABIA SUPPORTS IN SYRIA, BUT INSTEAD, SOMETIMES AS QUICK AS TWO MONTHS FROM MANUFACTURE, THESE FELL INTO THE HANDS OF IS AND ARE NOW BEING USED TO KILL US-BACKED IRAQI FORCES. SO HOW DID THAT HAPPEN? ONCE YOU MOVE WEAPONS AND AMMUNITION FROM THE CONTROL OF A NATIONAL GOVERNMENT AND SUPPLY WEAPONS TO NON-STATE ACTORS, PARTICULARLY IN A CONFLICT LIKE SYRIA, WHERE THERE ARE SO MANY GROUPS THAT ARE INTERLINKED AND CROSSED ALLEGIANCES, IT BECOMES VERY VERY DIFFICULT TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THOSE WEAPONS. WEAPONS AND THE EVIDENCE OF THE DESTRUCTION THEY LEAVE LIES EVERYWHERE. SO-CALLED ISLAMIC STATE HAS HAD NO PROBLEM ARMING ITSELF. AND IN THE CHAOS OF THE REGION, THAT MAY HAVE BEEN THANKS TO WEAPONS SUPPLIED BY THOSE TRYING TO DEFEAT IT. ISIS HAS CLAIMED RESPONSIBILITY FOR A SUICIDE BOMB ATTACK THAT KILLED AT LEAST 27 PEOPLE AT A MOSQUE IN THE AFGHAN CAPITAL, KABUL. WITNESSES SAY AROUND 400 SHIA WORSHIPPERS WERE JUST ABOUT TO END THEIR SERVICE AT THE MOSQUE IN THE CITY'S WEST WHEN THE ATTACKER WALKED IN AND DETONATED HIS DEVICE. SHIA MUSLIMS HAVE BEEN TARGETED BY BOMBERS AT LEAST THREE TIMES IN RECENT MONTHS. MEANWHILE, NEW VIDEO HAS BEEN UPLOADED SHOWING THE AFTERMATH OF AIRSTRIKES AGAINST SYRIAN REBELS. FOLLOWING AN ATTACK, THIS MAN WAS FOUND ALIVE BENEATH A DEMOLISHED BUILDING IN DOUMA, NEAR THE CAPITAL DAMASCUS. MORE THAN A DOZEN RAIDS WERE LAUNCHED BY SYRIAN WARPLANES AGAINST REBEL-HELD PARTS OF THE CITY. THE RAPPER KANYE WEST HAS BEEN HOSPITALISED IN LOS ANGELES OVER FEARS FOR HIS HEALTH AND SAFETY. THE HIP HOP SUPERSTAR HAD BEEN ACTING BIZARRELY AT THE WEEKEND, INCLUDING CUTTING A CONCERT SHORT AND CANCELLING THE REMAINDER OF HIS TOUR. I'VE BEEN SENT HERE TO GIVE Y'ALL THE TRUTH! JAY-Z, CALL ME, BRUH! YOU STILL AIN'T CALLED ME! FOLLOWING THE NEWS, WEST'S WIFE KIM KARDASHIAN SKIPPED AN APPEARANCE IN NEW YORK, WHICH WOULD HAVE BEEN HER FIRST PUBLIC APPEARANCE SINCE BEING ROBBED AT GUNPOINT IN A PARIS HOTEL. RENEE'S HERE NOW WITH THE DAY'S WEATHER HIGHLIGHTS, AND LOTS OF SUNSHINE ON OFFER TODAY. YES, THE RIDGE CONTINUES TO DOMINATE OUR WEATHER PICTURE TODAY, WITH FINE, SUNNY CONDITIONS FOR MOST. HOWEVER IT STARTS TO RETREAT TO THE NORTH EAST TOMORROW, ALLOWING OTHER FEATURES TO MOVE IN. WE HAVE A SEVERE WEATHER WATCH IN PLACE FOR NORTH WEST GALES FOR CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN NZ AND A PERIOD OF HEAVY RAIN FOR FIORDLAND AND SOUTHERN WESTLAND. A RAIN BEARING FRONT OVER THE TASMAN SEA MOVES ON TO THE SOUTH TOMORROW MORNING, WITH GALE NOR-WESTERLIES HERALDING ITS ARRIVAL. FOR WEATHER, SEE TVNZ.CO.NZ AND I'LL BE BACK AFTER SPORT WITH DETAILS ON THE INCOMING FRONT RIGHT AFTER SPORT. JUST AHEAD ` THERE'S BEEN MAJOR UPHEAVAL IN KAIKORA. BUT THIS NEW ARRIVAL IS BEING SEEN AS A SIGN OF HOPE FOR THE BATTERED TOWN. AND MOTORCYCLE OBSESSION HAS A NEW HOME. WE CHECK OUT ONE OF THE BEST BIKE COLLECTIONS IN THE WORLD IN ITS NEW PLACE. LOOKING AT OUR TOP STORIES TONIGHT, A MUSLIM CLERIC, MOHAMMAD ANWAR SAHIB, IS CAUSING CONTROVERSY OVER HIS ANTI-SEMITIC AND SEXIST VIEWS. THE HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSION HAS DESCRIBED THE SPEECHES AT A SOUTH AUCKLAND MOSQUE AS APPALLING. IT ALSO SAYS INTOLERANCE IS NOT WELCOME HERE. AND TSUNAMI WARNINGS WERE ISSUED FOR PARTS OF THE EAST COAST OF JAPAN AFTER A 7.4-MAGNITUDE QUAKE. PEOPLE WERE URGED TO EVACUATE COASTAL AREAS. MANY FEARING A REPEAT OF THE 2011 QUAKE AND TSUNAMI WHICH KILLED 18,000 PEOPLE. THE FIRST BABY BORN IN KAIKOURA SINCE THE MASSIVE EARTHQUAKE 5.7 QUAKE STRUCK A SHORT TIME AGO NEAR CULVERDEN. THE FIRST BABY BORN IN KAIKOURA SINCE THE MASSIVE EARTHQUAKE ARRIVED OVERNIGHT. HE'S A HEALTHY BABY BOY, AND HIS FAMILY HOPE THEIR GOOD NEWS WILL HELP LIFT THE SPIRITS OF THEIR STRUGGLING COMMUNITY. MEET BABY PHAZE. (COOS) HE'S NOT EVEN A DAY OLD YET. HE'S QUITE ALERT. HE'S A GOOD SLEEPER AND A GOOD FEEDER. AND HIS BIG BROTHER, JAHMALAKAI (4) CERTAINLY SEEMS SMITTEN. WHISPERS: I LOVE HIM. YOU LOVE HIM? HE DOESN'T LEAVE HIM. (LAUGHS) THAT'S HIS BABY. ALTHOUGH HE DIDN'T WANT TO OWN UP TO IT WHEN ASKED. TELL ME ONE THING YOU LOVE ABOUT YOUR BROTHER. NOTHING. NOTHING AND NOTHING. I DON'T BELIEVE YOU. (LAUGHS) HIS ARRIVAL CAME IN UNSETTLING TIMES. WHAT WAS IT LIKE TO BE SO HEAVILY PREGNANT WHEN THAT EARTHQUAKE HIT? IT SUCKED, BUT I COULDN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. KAIKOURA MIDWIFE BERNIE THOMAS HAS KEPT A VERY CLOSE EYE ON THE FAMILY. DID DAD DO THE NAPPIES? NO, MUM DID. MUM DID ALL THE NAPPIES? BUT SHE SAYS IT WAS BUSINESS AS USUAL. I JUST WANTED THEM TO BE SAFE, AND I DIDN'T EVEN CONSIDER ANOTHER EARTHQUAKE. SO EVERYTHING WENT PRETTY MUCH TO PLAN, BUT IT WAS A FULL-ON LABOUR, JUST FOUR HOURS, AND WITH BABY PHAZE WAS BORN AT 6;30 LAST NIGHT. OTHER PREGNANT MUM'S ARE UNDER PRESSURE HERE TOO. EVERYONE'S BEEN QUITE NERVOUS AND STRESSED AND, UM, MERIANA WAS EXTREMELY BRAVE. SHE DOESN'T WANT ANY MORE SHAKES, THOUGH. IF THERE WAS ANOTHER BIG ONE, I THINK WE'D GET OUT OF TOWN JUST TO KEEP THE FAMILY SAFE? YEAH IT'S HARDER TO RUN TO TWO KIDS. BUT WHAT WILL SHE TELL HER SON WHEN HE GROWS UP? I GUESS THAT HE WAS A QUAKE BABY. A QUAKE BABY WHO'S JUST HAD HIS FIRST DAY OUT IN THE WORLD. LISA DAVIES, 1 NEWS. AS MOTORCYCLE ENTHUSIASTS BEGIN TO CONVERGE ON INVERCARGILL FOR THE ANNUAL BURT MUNRO CHALLENGE, THE CITY IS OPENING THE DOORS TO A SIGNIFICANT NEW TOURIST ATTRACTION HOUSING NEARLY 300 CLASSIC BIKES. AS MARK HATHAWAY REPORTS, ONE OF THE WORLD'S BIGGEST NAMES IN MOTORCYCLING WAS THERE FOR A SNEAK PREVIEW. A STAR VISITOR AT INVERCARGILL'S BRAND NEW CLASSIC MOTORCYCLE MECCA. BRITISH MOTORSPORT PERSONALITY GUY MARTIN IN A SOUTHERN SHOWROOM MAKING THE PURISTS DROOL. THIS IS NEARLY AS GOOD A COLLECTION AS YOU'LL EVER SEE. IT'S AS GOOD AS ANY COLLECTION IN ENGLAND. MARTIN IS AMONGST THE FIRST TO GET A GLIMPSE OF THE 300 MOTORCYCLES PURCHASED IN MAY FROM THE NZ CLASSIC MOTORCYCLES COLLECTION IN NELSON. WE GOT WIND OF THE FACT THAT IT WAS COMING ON TO THE MARKET AND THAT IT WAS PROBABLY GOING TO GO OFFSHORE, AND WE THOUGHT THAT WOULD BE A REAL SHAME FOR NZ. SO THE COLLECTION IS NOW IN A NEW LOCATION ALONG WITH CURATOR DAVE ROBERTS, WHO, UNABLE TO PART WITH IT, HAS COME SOUTH AS WELL. I'VE HAD A LIFETIME LOVE AFFAIR WITH MOTORCYCLES, AND LOOKING AFTER THESE BIKES DOWN HERE IS JUST ANOTHER EXTENSION OF THAT. I WAS PREPARED TO GO WHEREVER THE BIKES WENT. IT'S BELIEVED TO BE IN THE TOP 10 COLLECTIONS IN THE WORLD, AND THERE ARE SOME FAVOURITES. BROUGH SUPERIORS. LARGEST COLLECTION IN THE SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE. OUR VINCENT COLLECTION WITH THE LAST MADE VINCENT EVER TO COME OUT OF ENGLAND. OUT TRIUMPH COLLECTION OF 24 BIKES. AND OUR INDIANS, OF COURSE, SEEING WE'RE IN INVERCARGILL ` THE HOME OF THE WORLDS FASTEST INDIAN. WE'VE GOT 24 INDIANS IN THE COLLECTION THE VALUE OF THE WHOLE COLLECTION IS A CLOSELY GUARDED SECRET, BUT THE TEAM DO TELL ME THE MOST EXPENSIVE BIKE HERE IS THE BROUGH SUPERIOR, HAND-BUILT IN 1930 AND WORTH ABOUT NZ$1M. THE CLASSIC MOTORCYCLE MECCA OPENS ITS DOORS TO THE PUBLIC TOMORROW. MARK HATHAWAY, 1 NEWS. A POD OF ORCA PUT ON A SHOW IN AUCKLAND TODAY FOR SOME LUCKY ONLOOKERS. OH MY GOD! SHELL NIXY CAPTURING THIS FOOTAGE OF A CURIOUS ORCA SWIMMING ALONGSIDE BAYSWATER MARINA. ORCA BLOWS, GIRLS LAUGH THE ORCA WAS ONE OF HALF A DOZEN IN THE BAY. THERE'S BEEN SIGHTINGS OF THE POD IN THE AREA OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS. ANDREW'S HERE WITH SPORT. AND SHOTS ARE BEING FIRED BY THE IRISH RUGBY MANAGEMENT. NOT LETTING THE TEST GO WE HAVE THE LATEST FROM THE ONGOING RUGBY STOUSH NEXT. ALSO TONIGHT, AS THE BLACKCAPS LOOK TO SHUT OUT PAKISTAN, WILL ROSS TAYLOR PLAY IN HAMILTON? PLUS, THE ALL BLACKS HIT PARIS A BIT BATTERED AND BRUISED AS SOME DISTRACTIONS START TO SET IN. AND THE SAMOAN DEAL TO BACK JOSEPH PARKER HAS BEEN CONFIRMED. DOES IT SURPRISE YOU, THEN, THAT THE NZ GOVERNMENT > DIDN'T TAKE UP THE SAME OPPORTUNITY? WELL, I AM NOT THE NZ GOVERNMENT. SO WILL THE MOST FAMOUS SAMOAN MAKE JOE PARKER'S TITLE FIGHT IN THREE WEEKS? Staying on top can take an extra boost. Sometimes you need an energy drink with something more - something smarter, healthier. Introducing new Berocca Forward. We've added vitamins, minerals and the natural energy of guarana. Now that's forward thinking. Berocca Forward - more than just energy. FALLOUT FROM THE ALL BLACKS' WIN OVER IRELAND AT THE WEEKEND IS REACHING BOILING POINT, WITH IRISH MANAGER MICK KEARNEY CLAIMING 12 INCIDENTS FROM THE WEEKEND'S MATCH HAVE BEEN REVIEWED BY THE CITING COMMISSIONER, 11 OF THEM REFERRED TO THE ALL BLACKS. IT IS DISAPPOINTING, TO BE HONEST. THERE WERE A NUMBER OF TACKLES AND BANGS AROUND THE HEAD. WE RECEIVED THE EDICT FROM WORLD RUGBY IN THE LAST WEEK OR 10 DAYS. WORLD RUGBY HAD SAID IF THESE INCIDENTS OCCUR, THEN YOU'RE LIABLE TO A RED CARD, POSSIBLY. THAT OBVIOUSLY DIDN'T HAPPEN AT THE WEEKEND. KEARNEY INSISTS THE IRISH ARE NOT WHINGING, SAYING THE FACTS SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES. HE ALSO WON'T PUT ANY BLAME ON REFEREE JACO PEYPER FOR MISSING THE INCIDENTS. I WOULDN'T SAY THAT. I MEAN, THE CITING COMMISSIONER HAS GOT THE ADVANTAGE OF DIFFERENT VIEWS. I THINK IT'S DIFFICULT FOR A REFEREE TO PICK UP EVERYTHING ON THE SPOT. THE ALL BLACKS HAVE SAID THEY WILL CONTEST SAM CANES' HIGH TACKLE CHARGE. ALL BLACKS SAM CANE AND MALAKAI FEKITOA WILL LEARN THEIR FATE LATER TONIGHT AT AN INTERNATIONAL RUGBY JUDICIAL HEARING. THE PLAYERS WERE CITED AFTER THAT MATCH, WITH THEIR HEARING DELAYED UNTIL TONIGHT IN LONDON. MEANWHILE, THEIR TEAMMATES ARE IN PARIS TRYING TO IRON OUT THE KINKS BEFORE TAKING ON THE TRICKY FRENCH. EUROPE CORRESPONDENT EMMA KEELING REPORTS FROM PARIS. BATTERED, BRUISED AND BANDAGED. SOMETIMES METALLICA IS THE ANSWER TO GETTING THROUGH A REHAB SESSION. SCOTT HERE, HE'S PART OF THE MUSIC COMMITTEE, SO HE PROBABLY HAD AN INFLUENCE. YEAH, I ACTUALLY GOT CUT, AND GILLY THE TRAINER CHUCKED HIS MUSIC ON TO GET THE BOYS UP SCOTT BARRETT HAS HAD TO TAKE ON A LOT OF RESPONSIBILITY RECENTLY. TO BE HONEST, I DIDN'T EVEN EXPECT TO BE ON THE TOUR, LET ALONG PLAY THREE GAMES. BROUGHT IN AS COVER FOR SAM WHITELOCK, HE MADE A TRY0SCORING DEBUT IN THE LOSS AGAINST IRELAND IN CHICAGO. COACH STEVE HANSEN DESCRIBED HIM AS A RARE BREED WHO COULD DEAL WITH PRESSURE. BUT THE 23-YEAR-OLD SAYS HE'D NEVER BEEN SO NERVOUS. STEVE CAME UP TO ME AND SAID FORGET EVERYTHING THAT'S HAPPENED DURING THE WEEK THAT YOU'VE LEARNED AND JUST GO OUT THERE AND PLAY FOOTY AND BACK YOUR INSTINCTS. AND THAT WAS ON FRIDAY, AND I GOT A BIT OF CONFIDENCE FROM THAT. THE REVENGE WIN OVER IRELAND ALSO GAVE THE TEAM HEART. TO MAKE THAT MANY TACKLES AND GET OFF THE LINE WY WE DID SHOWED GOOD CHARACTER AND SHOWED WE'RE WORKING HARD FOR EACH OTHER. BUT THE FINAL TOUR MATCH POSES A NEW SET OF PROBLEMS. EVERY ALL BLACK KNOWS HOW UNPREDICTABLE THE FRENCH CAN BE. THEY HAUNT OUR WORLD-CUP MEMORIES. SO THERE'S NO WAY THIS GROUP OF ALL BLACKS ARE GOING TO SWITCH OFF EARLY AND STARTING PLANNING THEIR HOLIDAY. PROBABLY IN THE BACK OF EVERY RUGBY PERSON'S MIND ` QUARTER FINAL IN THE WORLD CUP. IT WAS ALL EVERYONE WAS TALKING ABOUT, PREVIOUS HISTORY. SO THERE'S NO WAY WE CAN CUT ANY CORNERS THIS WEEK. HOPEFULLY SCOTT BARRETT HAS ORGANISED AN INSPIRATIONAL PLAYLIST FOR THE WEEK. EMMA KEELING, 1 NEWS, PARIS. THE SAMOAN GOVERNMENT HAS CONFIRMED THEY'RE HELPING TO SPONSOR JOSEPH PARKER'S WORLD TITLE FIGHT IN AUCKLAND IN THREE WEEKS. 1 NEWS FIRST REPORTED THE SIX-FIGURE DEAL WAS ALL SIGNED AND SEALED TWO WEEKS AGO. PARKER'S PROMOTERS SAY SAMOA WILL RECEIVE GLOBAL PUBLICITY. THE SAMOAN PRIME MINISTER MADE IT CLEAR TODAY THEY WILL ALWAYS BACK ONE OF THEIR FAVOURITE SONS. FOR A SMALL COUNTRY LIKE SAMOA, WE WOULD TAKE ON ANY OPPORTUNITY AVAILABLE TO PROMOTE OUR VISITOR INDUSTRY. < DOES IT SURPRISE YOU THAT THE NZ GOVERNMENT DIDN'T TAKE UP < THE SAME OPPORTUNITY? WELL, I AM NOT THE NZ GOVERNMENT. LAUGHTER SAMOA HAS BEEN MORE THAN HAPPY TO TAKE OVER WHERE THEIR KIWI COUNTERPARTS AND AUCKLAND CITY WOULDN'T TREAD. AT THE NZ GOVERNMENT LEVEL, WE'VE JUST STRUGGLED TO ESTABLISH THAT SORT OF RELATIONSHIP, THEREFORE WE'VE NEVER HAD ANY SUPPORT AT THAT LEVEL. WERE IT NOT FOR THE SUPPORT OF THE GOVERNMENT OF SAMOA, THIS EVENT MIGHT NOT BE HAPPENING IN NZ. THE SAMOAN GOVERNMENT'S INVESTMENT ARM IS PAYING FOR AIRTIME IN AND AROUND JOSEPH PARKER'S WORLD-TITLE FIGHT ON THE NIGHT AS WELL AS PUBLICITY FOR THE NEXT THREE WEEKS. SO THE TV ` GLOBALLY AUDIENCES WILL SEE PROMOTION OF SAMOAN TOURISM AND EXPERIENCES. JOSEPH PARKER'S PARENTS WERE BORN IN SAMOA, ATTENDING THE ANNOUNCEMENT IN MANGERE LATE THIS AFTERNOON. IT'S A GOOD FEELING KNOWING THE PEOPLE OF SAMOA ARE 100% BEHIND JOSEPH. IT'S A SMALL COUNTRY, BUT THE CONTRIBUTION THEY PUT IN IS AWESOME. IT'S AMAZING. SPONSORS LOCKED AND LOADED, THE PAY-PER VIEW-PRICE WILL BE REVEALED IN 48 HOURS, TIPPED TO BE AROUND THE $60 MARK. WHAT ABOUT THE MOST FAMOUS CELEBRITY SAMOAN MAKING IT TO AUCKLAND FOR THE FIGHT? I SUPPOSE ONE OF THE BIGGEST QUESTIONS OF THE DAY IS IS THE ROCK COMING? WELL, WE HAVE SENT HIM AN INVITATION AS MY SPECIAL GUEST. IF DWAYNE 'THE ROCK' JOHNSON DOES TURN UP, THAT WOULD BE AN EVEN BIGGER COUP FOR SAMOA. IT'S NOT OFTEN CHANGES ARE MADE TO A WINNING TEAM. BUT THAT'S THE PROSPECT FOR THE BLACKCAPS AS THEY GATHER FOR THE SECOND TEST AGAINST PAKISTAN IN HAMILTON STARTING ON FRIDAY. KIMBERLEE DOWNS REPORTS. PULLING UP AT THE BLACKCAPS' HOTEL IN CENTRAL HAMILTON, ROSS TAYLOR WAS TODAY LITTLE THE WISER ON THE EYE PROBLEM THAT'S PLAGUING HIM. THE BATSMAN'S STATUS FOR FRIDAY'S TEST IS UNCERTAIN AS HE LOOKS TO CONSULT A SECOND SPECIALIST IN AUCKLAND AS SOON AS HE CAN. SO COULD THAT MEAN A PROMOTION UP THE ORDER FOR THE INCUMBENT NUMBER FIVE? I HAVEN'T TALKED TO HESS OR ANYTHING ABOUT THAT, BUT IF THAT'S WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE AND THAT'S MY ROLE, I'M HAPPY TO DO IT. THE CANTABRIAN IN CONFIDENT SPIRITS AFTER A RESPECTABLE FIRST-INNINGS 30 IN TOUGH CONDITIONS IN CHRISTCHURCH. THOUGH THE TEAM'S AWARE RARE BACK-TO-BACK WINS AGAINST PAKISTAN, EVEN AT HOME, AREN'T EXACTLY CHILD'S PLAY. THAT'S THE NATURE OF WHEN YOU PLAY IN DIFFERENT CONDITIONS ` THE MORE EXPERIENCE YOU HAVE IN THEM, YOU HOPE TO GET BETTER, SO WE'RE EXPECTING THEM TO BE AT THE TOP OF THEIR GAME. I GUESS WE SET A HIGH BENCHMARK, SO FOR US TO FOCUS ON WHAT WE DID REALLY WELL AND CONTINUE DOING THAT FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME. ALL-ROUNDER MITCHELL SANTNER IS ALSO HOPING TO CONTRIBUTE TO THAT EFFORT AFTER GETTING THE ALL CLEAR ON HIS FRACTURED WRIST. I GUESS THERE'S ALWAYS A LITTLE BIT OF DOUBT, MAYBE IN TRAINING, BUT ONCE YOU HAVE A COUPLE OF HITS AND REALISE THERE'S ACTUALLY NOT MUCH PAIN OR YOU CAN GET THROUGH IT, YOU'RE GOOD TO GO. IT'S JUST MENTALLY SWITCHING BACK ON FOR INTERNATIONAL CRICKET. BUT BY AND LARGE, THE BLACKCAPS CUT A RELAXED PICTURE TODAY. AH, GREAT CATCH! SEVERAL VISITING A LOCAL SCHOOL AND APPARENTLY STEERING CLEAR OF THE CONTROVERSY SURROUNDING SOUTH AFRICA'S CAPTAIN OVER THE TASMAN ` EVEN HIS OLD SCHOOLMATE. HAVEN'T REALLY SEEN TOO MUCH OF IT OR KNOW TOO MUCH ABOUT IT, BUT I'M HAPPY TO BE HERE AND NOT IN THAT CAMP AT THE MOMENT. AND HAPPY TO BE PUT TO A SOMEWHAT EASIER TEST IN HAMILTON BEFORE THE BUILD UP BEGINS IN EARNEST TOMORROW. KIMBERLEE DOWNS, 1 NEWS. A CLEANOUT OF THE AUSTRALIAN CRICKET TEST TEAM, BEING CALLED THE BIGGEST UPHEAVAL IN THE TEAM SINCE THE LATE 1970'S, HAS BEEN OVERSHADOWED BY THE ANTICS OF SOUTH AFRICAN SKIPPER FAF DU PLESSIS ON AND OFF THE FIELD. DU PLESSIS FACES A HEARING INTO A BALL TAMPERING CHARGE AS WE GO TO AIR, WITH THE SOUTH AFRICAN TEAM ALSO UNDER THE MICROSCOPE FOR THEIR MAN HANDLING OF AN AUSTRALIAN JOURNALIST. MARTIN TASKER HAS MORE. THE CHARGE AGAINST FAF DU PLESSIS IS THAT HE BREACHED LAW 42.3, WHICH RELATES TO ALTERING THE CONDITION OF THE BALL; IN THIS CASE APPLYING SALIVA TO IT WITH A MINT LOLLY IN HIS MOUTH SUPPOSEDLY TO HELP THE BALL SWING. THE SOUTH AFRICAN TEAM GATHERED EN MASSE TO DENOUNCE THE BALL-TAMPERING ALLEGATION AS A JOKE. IT'S NOT APRIL, BUT THE ALLEGATIONS AGAINST FAF WAS REALLY A` A FARCE. REALLY RIDICULOUS THING. AND AS A TEAM WE ARE STANDING STRONG. WE'VE DONE NOTHING. INJURED PACEMAN DALE STEYN JOINING IN VIA TWITTER AND BLAMING THE AUSSIES ` BUT FOR THEIR PART, THE AUSTRALIANS ARE SAID TO BE FURIOUS ABOUT BEING DRAGGED INTO IT. THEY MADE NO COMPLAINT WHATSOEVER ABOUT DU PLESSIS' ACTIONS. THE ICC INVESTIGATION IS SIMPLY A RESULT OF FOOTAGE AIRED DURING THE TV COVERAGE. WE HAVEN'T TALKED ABOUT IT AT ALL. IT'S UP TO THE ICC TO DETERMINE IT. DU PLESSIS, WHO'S PLEADED NOT GUILTY, IS SAYING NOTHING. REPEATED ATTEMPTS TO MAKE HIM SAY SOMETHING RESULTING IN CALLS FOR SOUTH AFRICA'S TEAM SECURITY OFFICER ZUNAID WADEE TO BE SENT HOME FOR MANHANDLING A TV REPORTER. EXCUSE ME. EXCUSE ME. OUT OF MY WAY, PLEASE. THE SOUTH AFRICANS COUNTERING, SAYING THE REPORTER HAD AGGRESSIVELY HARASSED THEM DESPITE BEING TOLD THERE'D BE NO INTERVIEWS. INTO THE ADELAIDE FRAY, A NEW-LOOK AUSSIE TEAM WITH SIX DEBUTANTS. IT'S A BIT OF A DIFFERENT FEEL. IT'S EXCITING HAVING SO MANY FRESH NEW FACES AROUND. WHETHER FAF DU PLESSIS WILL BE AROUND IS SOON TO BE DECIDED. MARTIN TASKER, ONE NEWS. THINK THE SOUTH AFRICANS GOT UNDER AUSTRALIAN'S SKIN. BIG REACTION TO THE UBER STORY. ALSO ON THE SHOW, DO YOU KNOW WHAT 'COLONY EGGS' ARE? UH, NOT REALLY. I DONT KNOW. EGGS FROM ENGLAND? IT'S THE NEW AFFORDABLE EGG OPTION, BUT IS IT ANY BETTER THAN CAGED? AND HE WALKED FOR 18 MONTHS AROUND OUR TWO BIGGEST ISLANDS BUT FELT HE HAD ONE MORE LESSON TO LEARN. UH, I'M ABOUT TO WALK INTO SOMEWHERE THAT MAYBE 10 PEOPLE HAVE EVER BEEN. PLUS, RICHIE MCCAW'S PLASTIC SURGERY NIGHTMARE? DONALD TRUMP ENDORSED BY THE POPE? THE SHOCKING WORLD OF FAKE NEWS. THE SHOCKING WORLD OF FAKE NEWS. SEE YOU AT 7. HELLO AGAIN. A CRACKER OF A DAY FOR MOST TODAY. IT'S EASY TO SEE CLEAR SKIES OVER THE COUNTRY FROM OUR SATELLITE LOOP. MUCH OF THE TASMAN SEA ALSO REMAINS CLOUD-FREE, ALTHOUGH WELL NORTH OF NZ, THE TROPICS HAS A LOT OF CLOUD. A BROAD CLOUD BAND EXTENDS FROM TASMANIA SOUTH-EASTWARDS. MUCH OF THIS CLOUD IS ASSOCIATED WITH A STRONG UPPER ATMOSPHERE NORTHWEST JETSTREAM, BUT ALSO EMBEDDED IN THE CLOUD IS A FRONT. THIS FRONT MOVES STEADILY TOWARDS THE FAR SOUTHWEST OF NZ TONIGHT. IT REACHES DUNEDIN AROUND MIDDAY TOMORROW BEFORE WEAKENING AS IT HEADS NORTHEAST. AHEAD OF THE FRONT IS A WEAK TROUGH, WHICH MARKS A PRE-FRONTAL SOUTHWEST CHANGE UP THE EAST COAST. THE FRONT STALLS ABOUT THE FAR SOUTHWEST COAST OF THE SOUTH ISLAND TOMORROW AND BECOMES STATIONARY OVER FIORDLAND. OTHERWISE, WE SEE THE HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE NORTH ISLAND BEGIN TO SLOWLY RETREAT NORTHEAST. SUNNY SKIES FROM NELSON TO CANTERBURY, BUT LOW CLOUD MOVING NORTH ALONG THE CANTERBURY COAST IN THE MORNING, REACHING THE KAIKOURA COAST IN THE EVENING. CLOUDY FOR SOUTHLAND AND OTAGO, WITH OCCASIONAL RAIN DEVELOPING. CLOUDY ALSO FOR BULLER AND WESTLAND, WITH DRIZZLE TURNING TO RAIN IN THE AFTERNOON. FIORDLAND SEES RAIN SETTING IN THE MORNING, WITH HEAVY FALLS POSSIBLE IN THE NORTH. NORTHWEST WINDS CHANGING SOUTHWEST BEHIND THE FRONT. ANOTHER DAY OF SUNSHINE FOR THE NORTH AND HOT IN THE EAST. AREAS OF CLOUD IN THE WEST FROM NORTHLAND TO TARANAKI, BURNING OFF AND GIVING WAY TO SUNNY SKIES IN THE MORNING. A CLOUDY START FROM TARANAKI TO THE KAPITI COAST, WITH PATCHY DRIZZLE ABOUT THE TARARUAS. WESTERLY WINDS IN THE NORTH, NORTHWESTERLIES ELSEWHERE. STRONG AND GUSTY SOUTH OF ABOUT HASTINGS IN THE MORNING. FOR WEATHER, SEE TVNZ.CO.NZ Hard to keep up. Thanks, ReneE.
