GOOD EVENING, EVERYONE. AFTER WILD, WINDY WEATHER OVER THE WEEKEND, A SOUTH-WESTERLY FLOW COVERS NZ, BRINGING SHOWERS TO THE WEST AND SOUTH OF THE COUNTRY. AND WITH SUMMER IN SIGHT, CONDITIONS ARE SET TO CALM DOWN FOR THE FINAL DAYS OF SPRING AS A HIGH TAKES CONTROL FROM THURSDAY. 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. THEN WE SAW THE BOAT. 'THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING.' EMOTIONS STILL RAW FOR AN EYEWITNESS WHO SAW THE KAIPARA TRAGEDY UNFOLD AS THE SEARCH CONTINUES FOR AN EIGHTH VICTIM. TREACHEROUS WATERS ` THE DANGERS OF SANDBARS AROUND THE COUNTRY. WE LOOK AT HOW THEY'RE FORMED AND HOW TO CROSS THEM AS SAFELY AS POSSIBLE. AND TORN APART FROM THE TOP DOWN ` DEMOLITION BEGINS ON A QUAKE-DAMAGED WELLINGTON BUILDING AS AN AID PACKAGE IS UNVEILED FOR AFFECTED BUSINESSES. KIA ORA, GOOD EVENING. ALL THOSE ON BOARD THE FISHING BOAT FRANCIE SHOULD'VE BEEN WEARING LIFEJACKETS DURING THE DANGEROUS SANDBAR CROSSING. THAT'S THE OFFICIAL LINE FROM MARITIME NZ A SHORT TIME AGO. THE SEARCH FOR THE REMAINING MISSING PERSON CONTINUED TODAY AFTER THE CHARTER BOAT CAPSIZED IN KAIPARA HARBOUR, NORTHWEST OF AUCKLAND, ON SATURDAY. THE EIGHT MEN ARE SKIPPER BILL MCNATTY, FISHERMEN FRED MASTERS, TEVITA TANGI, FONEA TAUFA, COUSINS ALIPATE MANUMU'A AND SUNIA ONGA'UNGA AND ANOTHER UNNAMED MAN. TAULAGI AFAMASAGA IS STILL MISSING. ONE OF THOSE DROWNED, FRED MARSTERS, LEAVES BEHIND CHILDREN AND A WIFE ALREADY FACING HER OWN BIG BATTLE. PACIFIC CORRESPONDENT BARBARA DREAVER SPOKE TO HER TODAY. I'VE HAD SUCH A WONDERFUL LIFE WITH FRED. I'VE HAD A WONDERFUL LIFE WITH HIM. I COULDN'T HAVE ASKED FOR A BETTER PARTNER. FRED MARSTERS ` LOVING FAMILY MAN, LOYAL FRIEND, COMMUNITY LEADER. EVERYTHING FRED DID, HE DID WITH A PASSION, AND HE THERE WAS NO HALF MEASURES. IT WAS ALL OR NOTHING. LIKE HIS FISHING, IT WAS OVER THE TOP. YOU CAN TELL HOW KEEN A FISHERMAN FRED WAS. HE'S COLLECTED THESE RODS JUST OVER SIX YEARS, AND EVERY WEEKEND HE COULD, HE'D BE OUT ON THE WATER. DESPITE THE WEATHER, THIS WEEKEND WAS NO DIFFERENT. NORMALLY I WOULD GO WITH FRED. ON SATURDAY HE COULDN'T GET A HOLD OF ME. WHEN THE NEWS CAME THROUGH THAT THE FATHER-OF-THREE HAD DIED, ALONG WITH SEVEN OTHERS, IT ROCKED THE COOK ISLANDS FAMILY TO THE CORE. MY HEART BROKE. MY LIFE SORT OF, LIKE, CAME TO A STANDSTILL, BECAUSE MY LITTLE BROTHER'S THE ROCK OF OUR FAMILY. MY CHILDREN ARE` THEY'RE DEVASTATED. THEY ARE VERY DEVASTATED. THEY JUST, UM... (SIGHS) YOU KNOW, THEY DIDN'T GET A CHANCE TO SAY GOODBYE TO HIM. THE FAMILY ARE ADAMANT THAT SAFETY-CONSCIOUS FRED, WHO WAS A STRONG SWIMMER, WOULD HAVE BEEN WEARING HIS OWN LIFE JACKET. WE SUSPECT THAT HE HAD A TRAGIC ACCIDENT AND EITHER GOT HIT ON THE HEAD AND KNOCKED OUT, AND THAT'S THE REASON WHY HE'S NOT HERE WITH US. IF THE LOSS OF FRED WASN'T ENOUGH, THE MASTERS FAMILY FACE ANOTHER BATTLE AHEAD. I HAVE BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH TERMINAL CANCER. HE'S JUST BEEN AMAZING. I JUST CAN'T SAY HOW MUCH I AM GOING TO MISS HIM. SHAKILY: I DON'T KNOW HOW I AM GOING TO LIVE WITHOUT HIM. BUT THEY KNOW THEY HAVE TO, AND STRENGTH OF THIS FAMILY WILL SEE THEM THROUGH. BARBARA DREAVER, 1 NEWS. POLICE SAY THE SEARCH AREA IS LARGE AND COVERS MANY KILOMETRES. AND AS THEY CONTINUE TO SCOUR THE SEA AND SHORELINE, AN EYEWITNESS HAS TOLD ONE NEWS ABOUT THE HORROR OF WATCHING THE FISHING BOAT'S SINKING UNFOLD. CHRIS CHANG REPORTS. AS THE FLORAL TRIBUTES GROW AFTER SATURDAY'S KAIPARA HARBOUR TRAGEDY, SO TOO DO CONCERNS FOR TAULAGI AFAMASAGA, NOT YET RECOVERED FROM THE MISSING FRANCIE. WE NEED TO GIVE THE DUE RESPECT TO THE DECEASED AS WELL. SO IT'S A VERY IMPORTANT JOB TO RECOVER THE BODIES, BUT I THINK THAT IS TOUGH ON THE CREW, THAT THEY ARE NOT ACTUALLY DOING THE JOB THEY WANT TO DO. TODAY WITNESSES RECOUNTED SEEING THE TRAGEDY UNFOLD. WE WATCHED EMERGENCIES COME THROUGH. THERE WAS NOTHING TO SAY. WE COULDN'T DO ANYTHING. BILL MCNATTY IS AMONG THE SEVEN THAT HAVE BEEN RECOVERED. A FELLOW KAIPARA BOAT OWNER SAID THE SKIPPER HAD AS GOOD A KNOWLEDGE OF THE BAR AS ANYONE. WHETHER HE MADE THE RIGHT OR WRONG DECISION, IT WON'T BE FOR ME TO SAY TO GO OVER WHEN HE WENT OVER ON SATURDAY. BUT, YEAH, CERTAINLY A TRAGEDY. MARITIME NZ SAID THE FRANCIE OPERATED UNDER COMMERCIAL RULES THAT MEANT EVERY ONE ON BOARD HAD TO WEAR LIFE JACKETS WHEN CROSSING THE BAR. IT'S UNCLEAR IF MR MCNATTY ENFORCED THIS RULE. POLICE HAVE BEEN SEARCHING THE MURIWAI TO SOUTH HEAD SHORELINE BY LAND AND AIR. DEBRIS FROM THE BOAT HAD WASHED UP JUST NORTH OF THE BEACH HERE AT MURIWAI. POLICE ARE ASKING MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC IF THEY COME ACROSS ANY DEBRIS THAT THEY THINK IS FROM THE VESSEL TO GET IN TOUCH WITH THEM IMMEDIATELY, AS THE INVESTIGATION IS STILL ONGOING. AND WHILE AUTHORITIES CONTINUE IN THEIR EFFORTS, OTHERS STRUGGLE TO COME TO TERMS WITH THE FATE OF THIS FISHING TRIP. AS SOON AS WE GOT TO SHORE, WE SAID OUR PRAYER TO BE WITH THE LOVED ONES, HOPING THAT THEIR MEN WILL COME HOME. POLICE SAY THEY'RE IN REGULAR CONTACT WITH THE FAMILY OF THE MISSING MAN, A FAMILY THAT JUST WANTS TO GET THEIR LOVED ONE HOME. CHRIS CHANG, 1 NEWS. THERE ARE MANY DANGEROUS SANDBARS AROUND THE COUNTRY, INCLUDING THIS ONE HERE IN GREYMOUTH, THE MOUTH OF THE GREY RIVER, THIS DRAMATIC VIDEO SHOWING TWO FISHING BOATS BATTLING TO GET THROUGH AND OVER THE INFAMOUS BAR SEVERAL YEARS AGO. SO WHAT EXACTLY ARE SANDBARS AND HOW ARE THEY FORMED? AN OFFICIAL SAFETY VIDEO GIVES A GOOD EXPLANATION. A BAR IS A BUILD UP OF SAND OUTSIDE THE ENTRANCE OF A RIVER OR HARBOUR MOUTH WHICH CONTINUALLY CHANGES WITH THE MOVEMENT OF SAND AND SEDIMENT. THE CONDITIONS, WIND, TIDES AND CURRENTS CAUSE WAVES TO BREAK IN A TREACHEROUS AND UNPREDICTABLE PATTERN. IT'S PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS AT LOW TIDE. OFFICIAL ADVICE ON CROSSING A BAR INCLUDES APPROACHING THE WAVES STRAIGHT ON AT MODERATE SPEED, SLOWING DOWN AS YOU REACH THE WAVE BUT MAKING SURE YOU HAVE ENOUGH MOMENTUM TO TAKE YOU OVER. NEVER TURN AROUND ON A BAR ` A WAVE CAN HIT YOU SIDE-ON, CAPSIZING ANY VESSEL. UP-TO-DATE WEATHER INFORMATION IS OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE, AND IF IN DOUBT, DON'T GO OUT. AUCKLAND COULD BECOME A MORE EXPENSIVE CITY TO VISIT IF A PROPOSAL FROM THE NEW MAYOR BECOMES REALITY. PHIL GOFF WANTS TO RAISE AN EXTRA $30M A YEAR THROUGH A VISITOR LEVY ON THE ACCOMMODATION SECTOR. IT WOULD ADD ABOUT $10 TO A NIGHT'S STAY AT A FIVE-STAR HOTEL. MR GOFF SAYS THE PROPOSAL WILL KEEP RATES DOWN. THE FULL COUNCIL WILL DISCUSS THE IDEA LATER THIS WEEK. THE DEMOLITION OF THE WELLINGTON BUILDING SEVERELY DAMAGED IN THE QUAKE HAS FINALLY BEGUN TODAY AFTER BAD WEATHER DELAYED WORK OVER THE WEEKEND. IT COMES AS THE GOVERNMENT ANNOUNCES A SUPPORT PACKAGE FOR CAPITAL BUSINESSES AFFECTED BY THE QUAKE. BRIAR WELLS REPORTS. MUNCHING THROUGH A NINE-STOREY BUILDING IN CENTRAL WELLINGTON. THE FACADE OF 61 MOLESWORTH STREET TORN APART BY AN 85-TONNE HIGH-REACH EXCAVATOR. IF THE BUILDING ACTUALLY DID FAIL AND IT DROPPED A LITTLE BIT, THOSE UPPER STOREYS` BASICALLY THE GLASS BECOMES MISSILES, AND SO WE REALLY WANT TO MAKE SURE WE CAN DO IT IN A WAY WHERE THERE IS NO RISK TO THE PUBLIC. THE BUILDING AND THOSE AROUND IT HAVE BEEN CORDONED OFF SINCE THE EARTHQUAKE AFTER CHECKS FOUND MAJOR STRUCTURAL DAMAGE. CERES CONTRACTORS NOT MUCKING AROUND TODAY. BY THIS AFTERNOON, GAPING HOLES WERE LEFT IN THE TOP OF THE OFFICE BLOCK. IT'S HOPED IT'LL TAKE AROUND TWO WEEKS FOR THE BUILDING TO BE COMPLETELY BROUGHT DOWN, DEPENDING ON THE WEATHER. HOWEVER IT'LL TAKE LONGER TO REMOVE ALL THE WASTE FROM THE SITE. NEIGHBOURING SHOPS JUST OUTSIDE THE CORDON STRUGGLING WITH A LACK OF FOOT TRAFFIC. SMALL BUSINESSES TEND TO TRADE ON THE SMELL OF AN OILY RAG, SO ANY DAY NOT TRADING DOES DAMAGE TO YOUR BUSINESS. THOSE UNABLE TO OPEN AT ALL WERE THROWN A LIFELINE TODAY. THE GOVERNMENT EXTENDING ITS SUPPORT PACKAGE FOR QUAKE-AFFECTED BUSINESSES IN WELLINGTON CAUGHT INSIDE CORDONS. THERE ARE ABOUT A DOZEN ON MOLESWORTH STREET, AROUND ABOUT 20 AROUND THE CINEMA, COURTNEY CENTRAL PLACE, AND ALSO UP TO 80 AROUND QUEENSGATE. THE PACKAGE WILL SUBSIDISE EMPLOYEE WAGES FOR UP TO EIGHT WEEKS AND WILL BE BACK-DATED. IT'S DIFFICULT THEY CAN'T GET INTO THEIR PHYSICAL PREMISES, THEY CANT TRADE. MANY OF THESE ARE CAFES, HOSPITALITY OPERATORS. THEY DON'T HAVE ANY INCOME. THIS IS TRADITIONALLY THEIR BUSIEST TIME OF THE YEAR. GETTING BACK ON THEIR FEET AFTER SOME MAJOR DISRUPTION. BRIAR WELLS, 1 NEWS SPECIAL POWERS ARE TO BE RUSHED THROUGH PARLIAMENT TO ALLOW THE MASSIVE CLEAN UP IN THE QUAKE-HIT AREAS AROUND THE KAIKOURA REGION TO BEGIN. POLITICAL REPORTER KATIE BRADFORD JOINS US NOW. KATIE, WHAT URGENT LAW CHANGES ARE BEING MADE? The main aim is to get Kaikoura back on its feet. That overrides laws in place to allow things like dredging of the harbour, being able to throw rocks into the sea, betting farmers get rid of water or collect it. The resource management act would see it tied up for months. The community starts getting back to normal, getting over this disaster. There is a third one happening on Thursday after a short select committee process. SO WILL OTHER POLITICAL PARTIES SUPPORT THE MOVE? They have been meetings here regarding the support. Greens will make a call tomorrow. Labour will make a case for all of those bills. The concern with emergency legislation is the power it gives to government. Those negotiations are going on right now. THANKS, KATIE. IN KAIKOURA, RESIDENTS ARE STARTING THE PROCESS OF LODGING INSURANCE CLAIMS. HUNDRED OF HOMES AND BUSINESSES HAVE BEEN DAMAGED, SOME RED-STICKERED AND SET FOR DEMOLITION. JESSICA MUTCH REPORTS FROM KAIKOURA. THE LOCAL PRIMARY SCHOOL WOULD USUALLY BE BUSTLING WITH KIDS. MODERATE TO SEVERE, HE SAID. BUT INSTEAD, IT'S BECOME A BASE FOR EQC. JUST SPENT $100,000 DOING IT UP, AND IT'S REALLY TRASHED INSIDE. IT WAS JUST UNBELIEVABLE. IT TOOK ME FIVE DAYS TO CLEAN IT UP. THAT'S BECAUSE THIS IS WHAT MAUREEN MORRIS' KITCHEN LOOKED LIKE. I GET SHAKY EVEN WHEN I THINK ABOUT IT, COS IT WAS A HORRENDOUS NIGHT, YOU KNOW ` SIX HOURS OUT THERE AND YOU'RE ON YOU'RE OWN. SHE CAN STILL LIVE HERE, BUT WORK NEEDS TO BE DONE. OTHER LOCALS ARE IN THE SAME BOAT. I LOST TWO CHIMNEYS, AND WITHIN TWO DAYS I'D HAD THEM FIXED, WHICH I WAS REALLY GRATEFUL FOR. AND THEY PATCHED THE ROOF UP. THE 83-YEAR-OLD SAYS HE'S DOING OK. SEEN ME GOING TO THE PUB A BIT MORE TO RELAX. LOCALS HAVE BEEN TOLD TO CONTACT EQC AND THEIR INSURANCE COMPANIES. SOME INSURERS HAVE FLOWN IN. WE'VE DECIDED TO OPEN A POP-UP OFFICE, IF YOU LIKE, IN THE MAIN STREET OF KAIKOURA TO DEAL WITH VERO. THERE ARE 44 HOMES AND COMMERCIAL PROPERTIES LIKE THIS PUB THAT HAVE BEEN RED-STICKERED. THAT MEANS THEY HAVE SEVERE STRUCTURAL DAMAGE AND NO ONE IS ALLOWED TO GO INSIDE. THERE ARE ANOTHER 1500 PROPERTIES HERE IN KAIKOURA THAT ARE FINE BUT REQUIRE SOME REPAIRS. THE NEW COMMERCIAL IS WELL KNOWN IN KAIKOURA. BUT IT'S SET TO BE DEMOLISHED. SOMETIMES I LOOK AT IT AND WANT TO BURST OUT CRYING, BUT I HAVEN'T DONE THAT YET. THIS HAS BEEN TRISH SMITH'S LIVELIHOOD FOR 14 YEARS. EVERYONE KNOWS THAT I'M HERE FROM DAYLIGHT TO DUSK. WHAT AM I GOING TO DO NOW? MAYBE I CAN BE THE OLDEST BARMAID IN CHRISTCHURCH OR SOMETHING. (LAUGHS) PEOPLE IN KAIKOURA KEEPING A SENSE OF HUMOUR AS THEY WORK OUT WHAT'S NEXT FOR THEIR HOMES AND BUSINESSES. JESSICA MUTCH, 1 NEWS. A COMMUNITY-LED EFFORT TO RESCUE PAUA EXPOSED ALONG KAIKOURA'S COASTLINE HAS BEEN A SUCCESS. TWO WEEKS LATER, A FISHERIES SCIENTIST INSPECTING RELOCATED PAUA HAS FOUND THEY'RE 'DOING WELL', THOUGH IT WILL TAKE SOME TIME TO KNOW IF THEY'VE ADAPTED TO THEIR NEW HOME. THE BIG QUAKE LIFTED AND MOVED PARTS OF THE SEABED, LEAVING THOUSANDS OF PAUA OUT IN THE OPEN AND AWAY FROM THE WATER. PAUA RESCUER MIKE VINCENT ESTIMATES 60 TONS OF PAUA HAVE BEEN RETURNED TO THE SEA SO FAR. ALCOHOL SALES ARE SUSPENDED AND MUSIC HAS BEEN SILENCED AS CUBA BEGINS NINE DAYS OF NATIONAL MOURNING FOLLOWING THE DEATH OF THE REVOLUTIONARY LEADER FIDEL CASTRO. PREPARATIONS ARE BEING MADE FOR A FUNERAL PROCESSION THAT WILL LAST FOUR DAYS. NICK BRYANT REPORTS FROM HAVANA. CUBA'S COMING TO TERMS WITH LIFE WITHOUT FIDEL. AND HAVANA HAS BECOME A QUIET CITY SINCE HIS DEATH. USUALLY THIS TROPICAL CAPITAL SWAYS TO A SALSA BEAT, BUT AS A MARK OF RESPECT AND A REMINDER OF HIS AUTHORITY, THE PLAYING OF MUSIC IN PUBLIC HAS BEEN BANNED. IN THE CHURCHES OF OLD HAVANA, THEY LIT CANDLES IN HIS MEMORY ` PEOPLE WHO WORSHIPPED GOD BUT ALSO IDOLISED THE FATHER OF THEIR NATION. 'THERE'S ONLY ONE GOD, BUT FIDEL WAS AN EXCEPTIONAL MAN,' THIS CHURCHGOER TOLD US. BUT TELLINGLY, THEY DIDN'T SAY PRAYERS FOR FIDEL AT THESE SERVICES. HE HAD A DIFFICULT RELATIONSHIP WITH THE CATHOLIC CHURCH, AND THERE WERE SOME HERE WHO HATED HIM. ALFREDO'S FAMILY MEMBERS FLED TO AMERICA AFTER THE CUBA REVOLUTION. HE HASN'T SEEN THEM FOR DECADES. TRANSLATOR: I WORKED HARD HERE IN THE BEGINNING. BUT I BECAME DISILLUSIONED. THE SYSTEM HERE MAKES IT IMPOSSIBLE TO LIVE. ON TELEVISION CHANNELS HERE, ROUND THE CLOCK EULOGIES. AND THEY'RE TELLING THE ROMANTICISED VERSION OF THE REVOLUTION OR HIS LIFE ` OF THE SOLDIER POLITICIAN, OF THE MAN WHO BROUGHT COMMUNISM TO AMERICA'S DOORSTEP, OF THE FAILED CIA-BACKED INVASION AT THE BAY OF PIGS, OF THE FIGURE WHO MADE PERSONAL SURVIVAL A NATIONAL MISSION. BUT WHAT IDA VALDEZ-SANTANA REMEMBERS IS THE SEVEN TIMES HE PUT HER IN JAIL FOR DEFYING HIS RULE AND THE 10 YEARS SHE SPENT BEHIND BARS. 'I'VE ALWAYS CRITICISED HIM,' SHE SAID, 'FOR IMPRISONING ME 'AND FOR CONCENTRATING ON SPREADING COMMUNISM AROUND THE WORLD, 'RATHER THAN FIXING THE PROBLEMS OF CUBA.' BUT CUBANS AREN'T JUST DWELLING ON THE PAST. THEY'RE FEARFUL OF THE FUTURE. BECAUSE IN A COUNTRY JUST 90 MILES AWAY FROM AMERICA, THE IRONY IS THAT THE MOST MOMENTOUS HISTORICAL EVENT THIS MONTH MAY NOT BE THE DEATH OF THEIR FORMER PRESIDENT BUT THE ELECTION IN THE UNITED STATES OF A NEW ONE. AND US PRESIDENT-ELECT DONALD TRUMP HAS THREATENED TO REVERSE THE OPENING UP OF RELATIONS BETWEEN AMERICA AND CUBA BEGUN BY BARACK OBAMA. COMING UP ` THE RENT BILL RUNS INTO THE MILLIONS AND IT'S BEEN A 'TEMPORARY' BASE FOR THE LAST 20 YEARS. ID) BUT NOW THERE ARE PLANS FOR TWO NEW BUILDINGS TO HOUSE POLITICIANS. THE ELECTION MAY BE OVER, BUT NOW THE RECOUNT IS ABOUT TO START. BUT PRESIDENT-ELECT DONALD TRUMP, WHO REPEATEDLY CLAIMED THE ELECTION WAS RIGGED, IS NOW BLASTING THE MOVE. AND A SLICE OF CHRISTCHURCH HISTORY RESTORED TO ITS FORMER GLORY. AFTER SUFFERING MAJOR QUAKE DAMAGE, THIS HOMESTEAD HAS BEEN REBORN. POLITICIANS ARE SHIFTING THEIR OFFICE ACCOMMODATION IN WELLINGTON, NOT BECAUSE OF QUAKE FEARS, BUT BECAUSE THE LEASE IS ENDING ON MPS' HIGH-RISE OFFICES ACROSS THE ROAD FROM THE BEEHIVE. SO A WHOLE NEW BUILDING COMPLEX WILL BE BUILT TO HOUSE ALL MPS WITHIN PARLIAMENT'S PRECINCT. POLITICAL REPORTER ANDREA VANCE HAS THE DETAILS. TWO NEW BUILDINGS TO HOUSE POLITICIANS. TAXPAYERS WILL FOOT THE BILL. AND THAT'S LIKELY TO BE AT LEAST $100M. WE DON'T WANT TO REVEAL THE FIGURES WE'VE WORKED ON PRIOR TO THE DETAILED DESIGN THEN GOING OUT FOR TENDER TO BUILDING CONTRACTORS. THIS IS BOWEN HOUSE. IT WAS MEANT TO BE A TEMPORARY HOME FOR MPS OVER 20 YEARS AGO WHILE PARLIAMENT WAS RENOVATED. THE SPEAKER SAYS IT'S COST $6M A YEAR TO RENT. WE WENT THERE TEMPORARILY IN 1991. NO ONE HAS EVER BOTHERED TO DO THE FIGURES AND TO FIGURE OUT WHETHER IT IS ECONOMIC TO COME BACK TO OUR OWN LAND. THIS BUILDING ` THE PRESS GALLERY ` WILL BE DEMOLISHED. IN ITS PLACE THEY'LL BUILD A THREE-STOREY SUITE FOR NINE MINISTERS. WHICH WILL MEAN FOR THE FIRST TIME IN DECADES ALL MINISTERS ARE EFFECTIVELY LINKED IN THE SAME BUILDING. OTHER MPS AND STAFF WILL MOVE OUT OF BOWEN HOUSE INTO A BRAND NEW FIVE-STOREY BUILDING TO SIT HERE ON THE CURRENT CAR PARK. LABOUR, THE GREENS AND ACT ARE ALL ON BOARD. NZ FIRST ARE OPPOSED BECAUSE THEY WANT FEWER MPS. BUT WHAT ABOUT TAXPAYERS? IF IT WORKS OUT, IT SHOULD BE ALL RIGHT. I DON'T KNOW, WHY DON'T THEY JUST STAY IN THE BEEHIVE? I THINK IT COULD BE MORE WORTHWHILE IN THE LONG RUN. THE NEW OFFICES SHOULD BE READY BY 2022. ANDREA VANCE, ONE NEWS. THE KING OF JORDAN'S ARRIVED IN WELLINGTON FOR A THREE-DAY STAY. KING ABDULLAH'S VISIT FOLLOWS FORMER GOVERNOR GENERAL SIR JERRY MATEPARAE'S TRIP TO JORDAN IN 2013. THE PRIME MINISTER SAYS A RANGE OF ISSUES WILL BE DISCUSSED, AND THE SYRIAN REFUGEE CRISIS COULD BE AMONG THEM. WE'LL CERTAINLY EXPLAIN WHAT WE DO AND WHY WE DO WHAT WE DO. AND I THINK THAT, AS I SAID BEFORE, IT'S PROBABLY WORKING ABOUT RIGHT, I MEAN, IT'S ALWAYS, YEAH, YOU CAN TAKE MORE, BUT WE WOULD ARGUE PRETTY STRONGLY THAT IT'S IMPORTANT THE PEOPLE THAT YOU DO TAKE TO DO A GOOD JOB OF LOOKING AFTER THEM. THE KING, WHO'S A FORMER COMMANDER OF JORDAN'S SPECIAL FORCES, ROUNDS OFF HIS VISIT ON WEDNESDAY WITH A TRIP TO THE NZ DEFENCE FORCE BATTLE TRAINING FACILITY IN AUCKLAND. US PRESIDENT-ELECT DONALD TRUMP HAS BLASTED PLANS TO RECOUNT VOTES IN AT LEAST ONE STATE, CALLING IT A GREEN PARTY SCAM. THE RECOUNT'S BEEN SPONSORED BY GREEN CANDIDATE JILL STEIN AND NOW SUPPORTED BY HILLARY CLINTON AFTER DISCREPANCIES WERE REPORTED IN SEVERAL STATES. ABC'S TOM LLAMAS REPORTS. PRESIDENT-ELECT TRUMP, WHO WON IN THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE BUT TRAILS HILLARY CLINTON BY NEARLY TWO MILLION IN THE POPULAR VOTE, SENDING THIS STUNNING TWEET. A BASELESS CLAIM, AND TRUMP PROVIDING NO PROOF. IT COMES AS HE RAILS AGAINST THE RUSTBELT RECOUNT. GREEN PARTY CANDIDATE JILL STEIN FORCING A RECOUNT IN WISCONSIN AND NOW HILLARY CLINTON'S CAMPAIGN JOINING THE EFFORT, WHICH COULD EXPAND TO MICHIGAN AND PENNSYLVANIA. CLINTON LOST THOSE THREE STATES BY JUST OVER 100,000 VOTES. IT'S UNLIKELY A RECOUNT WOULD CHANGE THAT. TRUMP HIMSELF SPENT MONTHS WARNING THE ELECTION WOULD BE TAINTED. IT'S A RIGGED ELECTION, BELIEVE ME. AND WE KNOW IT'S A RIGGED SYSTEM... 1.8 MILLION DEAD PEOPLE ARE REGISTERED TO VOTE. NOW IT'S CLINTON'S LAWYER WHO SAYS THE CAMPAIGN HAS BEEN BOMBARDED WITH SUPPORTERS... TEAM CLINTON SAYS IT'S JOINING THE RECOUNT... BUT THEY CONCEDE THEIR OWN INVESTIGATORS... TRUMP SAYS CLINTON SHOULD STAND BY HER OWN WORDS. WE MUST ACCEPT THIS RESULT AND LOOK TO THE FUTURE. HE CALLS THE RECOUNT EFFORT... AND ANOTHER FIGHT'S BREWING INSIDE THE TRUMP CAMP, WITH BOTH RUDY GIULIANI AND MITT ROMNEY TRYING TO SECURE THE COVETED SECRETARY OF STATE POSITION. HEAVY RAIN HAS TRIGGERED DEADLY LANDSLIDES IN NORTHERN ITALY. HUNDREDS WERE EVACUATED AFTER A HILLSIDE GAVE WAY IN GENOA, KILLING AT LEAST TWO PEOPLE AND LEAVING THREE OTHERS MISSING. THIS DRONE FOOTAGE WAS FILMED ABOVE THE VILLAGE OF REZZO IN THE NORTHWEST OF THE COUNTRY. MOST OF THE VILLAGE WAS DESTROYED, AND SEVERAL HUNDRED PEOPLE WERE FORCED TO FLEE. AND PART OF A ROAD IN JAPAN REBUILT AFTER A SINKHOLE SWALLOWED AN INTERSECTION IS SINKING AGAIN. POLICE QUICKLY CLOSED THE BUSY ROAD IN FUKUOKA WHEN THE FIRST SIGNS OF SUBSIDENCE WERE DISCOVERED. THE ROAD HAD TO BE CLOSED EARLIER THIS MONTH WHEN A HUGE SINKHOLE OPENED UP CAUSED BY LEAKING MAINS WATER AND SEWERAGE PIPES. THE ROAD WAS REOPENED WHEN ENGINEERS DECIDED THE SINKING WAS CAUSED BY THE FILL SETTLING. RENEE'S HERE NOW WITH THE DAY'S WEATHER HIGHLIGHTS, AND A SHOWERY START TO THE WORKING WEEK? YES, A SOUTH-WESTERLY FLOW COVERS NZ, BRINGING SHOWERS TO THE WEST AND SOUTH OF THE COUNTRY. BUT LOTS OF SUNSHINE FOR THE EAST FROM THE BAY OF PLENTY AROUND TO GISBORNE AND ALL THE WAY DOWN THE EAST OF THE SOUTH ISLAND TO OAMARU. BLUE SKIES ALSO FROM WANGANUI TO NELSON, INCLUDING WELLINGTON. FOR WEATHER, SEE TVNZ.CO.NZ STILL TO COME ON 1 NEWS ` HE FINISHED FIRST BUT LOST THE CROWN. LEWIS HAMILTON'S DIRTY TRICKS COULD SEE HIM KICKED OUT OF HIS FORMULA 1 TEAM. AND AFTER BEING DAMAGED IN THE CHRISTCHURCH QUAKE, AN HISTORIC TREASURE IS RESTORED TO ITS FORMER GLORY. LOOKING AT OUR TOP STORIES TONIGHT, A SEARCH IS CONTINUING FOR THE BODY OF AN EIGHTH VICTIM OF A FISHING TRAGEDY ON THE KAIPARA HARBOUR. POLICE HAVE BEEN SEARCHING THE MURIWAI TO SOUTH HEAD SHORELINE BY LAND AND AIR FOR ANY SIGN OF THE MISSING MAN AND FOR ANY DEBRIS FROM THE MISSING VESSEL, THE FRANCIE. AND AS THE DEMOLITION OF A QUAKE-DAMAGED BUILDING IN MOLESWORTH STREET IN CENTRAL WELLINGTON BEGINS, THE GOVERNMENT HAS ANNOUNCED A SUPPORT PACKAGE FOR QUAKE-AFFECTED BUSINESSES IN THE CAPITAL. THE PACKAGE WILL SUBSIDISE EMPLOYEE WAGES AND THE SCHEME WILL BE REVIEWED BEFORE CHRISTMAS. SINCE THE KAIKOURA QUAKE, THERE'S BEEN TALK OF WHETHER OR NOT THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD PUT NEARLY $2B IN A FORECAST SURPLUS ON TAX CUTS NEXT YEAR. 1 NEWS AND COLMAR BRUNTON PUT THE QUESTION TO VOTERS IN A SURVEY WHICH STARTED JUST BEFORE THE QUAKE. POLITICAL EDITOR CORIN DANN HAS THE RESULTS. FRUSTRATION OVER STAGNANT WAGES IS SEEN AS ONE FACTOR BEHIND THIS YEAR'S SHOCK BREXIT AND US ELECTION RESULTS. LABOUR SAYS THAT FRUSTRATION'S HERE TOO. YOU SEE A WHOLE CHUNK OF PEOPLE STRUGGLING TO KEEP UP WITH THE REAL COST OF LIVING. JOHN KEY INSISTS NZ WORKERS ARE GETTING REAL WAGE GAINS. BUT HE'S ALSO TALKING SOME SORT OF RELIEF FOR LOW INCOME KIWIS COME ELECTION YEAR. I THINK THERE'S AN ARGUMENT AROUND A TAX AND FAMILY PACKAGE THAT SITS ALONGSIDE OF OTHER EXPENDITURE. AND HE SAYS THE GOVERNMENT'S FINANCES NOW GIVE IT CHOICES, HAVING RACKED UP A $1.8B SURPLUS IN THE YEAR TO JUNE. SO WE ASKED KIWIS WHAT THEY THINK IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD SPEND NEXT YEAR'S SURPLUS ON. THERE'S NO QUESTION THAT WE NEED TO SPEND MORE MONEY IN SOME AREAS OF SOCIAL SERVICES. WE WILL CONTINUE TO INVEST IN THOSE. WE'VE GOT DEBT, WE'VE GOT FROZEN FUNDING ON OUR SCHOOLS, WE'VE GOT A FREEZE IN FUNDING ON THE POLICE, WE'VE GOT CUTS IN HEALTH. BETTER TO GET THOSE THINGS FIXED UP BEFORE WE START GIVING TAX CUTS. BUT JOHN KEY IS ADAMANT IT'S NOT A CASE OF EITHER TAX CUTS OR SOCIAL SPENDING. HE SAYS NEXT WEEK'S NEW TREASURY FORECASTS FOR FUTURE SURPLUSES WILL SHOW IT'S POSSIBLE TO DO BOTH AND PAY DOWN DEBT. THE BUDGET SURPLUSES HOCKEY-STICKING UP, AND THEY GET QUITE BIG. SO BE IT TAX CUTS, SOCIAL SPENDING OR PAYING DEBT, JUST HOW THE GOVERNMENT SPENDS YOUR MONEY IS SHAPING UP AS A MAJOR ELECTION YEAR ISSUE. CORIN DANN, 1 NEWS. ANOTHER ICONIC CHRISTCHURCH BUILDING HAS RISEN FROM THE RUBBLE. FENDALTON'S MONA VALE HOMESTEAD IS ON ITS THIRD LIFE. THREATENED AND SAVED FROM THE DEVELOPERS IN THE '60S, IT WENT ON TO BE BADLY DAMAGED IN THE EARTHQUAKES. NOW IT'S BEEN RESTORED TO ITS FORMER GLORY. ALI PUGH WENT TO VISIT. THE GRAND OLD LADY OF FENDALTON BACK FROM THE BRINK ONCE AGAIN. I DECLARE MONA VALE OPEN. APPLAUSE THE HISTORIC HOMESTEAD WAS BROUGHT TO ITS KNEES IN THE CANTERBURY QUAKES, AND AFTER TWO YEARS OF CONSTRUCTION, IT'S BEEN RESTRENGTHENED, RESTORED AND IS ABOUT TO REOPEN. IT WAS HEARTBREAKING AFTER THE EARTHQUAKES WHEN I CAME IN. THERE WERE VAGRANTS LIVING UPSTAIRS. AND THERE WAS DESTRUCTION AND VANDALISM, AND IT WAS HEARTBREAKING. AND TO SEE IT TODAY IN ITS GLORY JUST AS IT WAS WHEN IT WAS BUILT IS JUST AMAZING. BUILT IN 1899 AS A PRIVATE RESIDENCE, IT WAS BOUGHT IN THE '30S BY TRACEY GOUGH, THE GREAT-GRANDFATHER OF CITY COUNCILLOR JAMIE GOUGH. IT'S A PRETTY SPECIAL OCCASION FOR ME AND MY FAMILY. YOU KNOW, THE FAMILY SIGNIFICANCE WITH THIS BEING OUR OLD FAMILY HOME ` MY GREAT GRANDFATHER LIVING HERE, MY GRANDFATHER GROWING UP HERE. FATHER, UNCLES, AUNTS PLAYING HERE, VISITING THEIR GRANDFATHER. IT'S INCREDIBLE THIS IS NOW OWNED BY EVERYONE. HIDDEN SECRETS WERE ALSO DISCOVERED IN THE BUILD. MOSAIC TILING AND ORIGINAL FIREPLACES REVEALED. RESTORING THE EXTERNAL CLADDING HAS BEEN A PAINSTAKING TASK. NEARLY 70% OF THESE BRICKS WERE REMOVED. THOSE INTACT WERE PHOTOGRAPHED AND LABELLED AND THEN PUT BACK IN THEIR ORIGINAL POSITION. AND WITH NEW INTERNAL STEEL STRENGTHENING WORK TO BOOT, MONA VALE'S READY TO TAKE ON ANOTHER CENTURY IN THE GARDEN CITY.

THE NZ SIDE'S IN CONTROL OF THE SECOND TEST, LOOKING TO POST A BIG RUN CHASE TO SHUT OUT THE PAKISTANIS, WITH A DAY TO PLAY IN HAMILTON. ROSS TAYLOR HAS BEEN THE STANDOUT TODAY. JOHN MCKENZIE REPORTS. WITH THE SUN FINALLY OUT, THE BLACKCAPS LOOKED IN NO HURRY TO BUILD ON THEIR FIRST INNINGS LEAD OF 55. THEY HAD TO SEE OFF 28 DOT BALLS BEFORE SNEAKING ONE THROUGH. WE'RE AWAY. THE LONG AND SLOW APPROACH DIDN'T WORK FOR NEWCOMER JEET RAVAL. CLOSE, VERY CLOSE. PLAYERS SHOUT KANE WILLIAMSON DID TAKE THE INITIATIVE. LATE CUT. BEAUTIFUL CUT. SOME QUICK THINKING FROM PAKISTAN'S FIELDERS ALMOST HAD HIM GONE. OHH, NO, NO, NO! A DECISION WHICH COULD HAVE GONE EITHER WAY WOUND UP IN THE HOSTS' FAVOUR. OHH. WILLIAMSON GIVEN THE GREEN LIGHT, ALBEIT INITIALLY AFTER BEING SHOWN A FLASH OF RED. I THINK WILLIAMSON'S HEART JUST SKIPPED A BEAT. HE'D GO ON TO SCORE ANOTHER 21 BEFORE FALLING CAUGHT BEHIND FOR 42, WHILE TOM LATHAM SHOWED WHEN HE MOVES PAST SINGLE DIGITS, HE REALLY MAKES IT COUNT. SHORT AND WIDE. PUT AWAY. HE BROUGHT UP HIS 11TH HALF CENTURY WHILE LOOKING DESTINED TO GO ONE BETTER. BUT AT 80,... PLAYERS SHOUT ...HE FELL TO A WAHAB RIAZ SPECIAL. AND HE'S GOT HIS MAN, WAHAB RIAZ. WAHAB NEARLY ALSO HAD ROSS TAYLOR TRAPPED IN FRONT. PLAYERS SHOUT OOH, THAT'S CLOSER! THIS DELIVERY GIVEN OUT BY THE ONFIELD UMPIRE, ONLY FOR A REVIEW TO SHOW HE'D SLIGHTLY OVERSTEPPED THE MARK. APPLAUSE WELL, WELL, WELL. TAYLOR WOULD MAKE THE BLUNDER COUNT, TAKING THE BLACK CAPS' LEAD WELL PAST 300. SHOT. BEAUTIFUL CUT SHOT FROM ROSS TAYLOR FOR A BOUNDARY. HE'D FOLLOW IT UP BY SCORING HIS 16TH INTERNATIONAL TON. GOOD SHOT! WELL DONE, ROSS TAYLOR! THE BLACK CAPS DECLARING SHORTLY AFTER WITH A LEAD OF 368. PAKISTAN HOLDING ON AT DAY'S END TO SET UP A RECORD-BREAKING RUN CHASE ON DAY FIVE. JOHN MCKENZIE, 1 NEWS. THAT'S TAYLOR'S FOURTH TEST CENTURY IN HAMILTON NOW. NO OTHER PLAYER HAS SCORED MORE THAN TWO IN TESTS AT THE GROUND. QUITE AN ACHIEVEMNET. PAKISTAN GETTING THROUGH TO STUMPS WITHOUT LOSS, BUT A HUGE MOUNTAIN TO CLIMB TOMORROW TO CHASE DOWN THE REMAINING THREE 368 RUNS FOR VICTORY. THE BULK OF THE ALL BLACKS ARE HEADING HOME TONIGHT, HAVING EARNED THEIR SUMMER BREAK. BUT WHILE THE PLAYERS WERE CELEBRATING THEIR 13TH WIN OF THE SEASON AND RETAINING THE DAVE GALLAHER TROPHY AGAINST FRANCE, THEIR COACHES ARE ALREADY PLANNING FOR THEIR NEXT TEST ASSIGNMENT, THE LIONS IN JUNE. WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A CAMP IN JANUARY; NOT SO MUCH A RUGBY CAMP BUT A STRENGTH AND CONDITIONING CAMP. A WELL-BEING CAMP ` LET'S CALL IT THAT. WHICH WILL BE GREAT, COS IT'LL ALLOW THEM TO GO INTO THE SUPER RUGBY THE BEST THAT WE CAN POSSIBLY GET THEM INTO AT THAT POINT. CERTAINLY A BIT DIFFERENT FROM WHEN THESE TWO FRENCH IMPORTS PLAYED AGAINST THE LIONS 11 YEARS AGO. JOSEPH PARKER'S BOXING TRAINER ADMITS THE BUILD UP TO NEXT WEEK'S WBO WORLD TITLE FIGHT HAS BEEN THE MOST CHALLENGING OF THE YOUNG KIWI'S PROFESSIONAL CAREER. KEVIN BARRY HAD TO CHANGE THEIR PLANS AND HAVE A MAJOR RE-THINK PREPARING TO FACE MEXICAN ANDY RUIZ. JOSEPH PARKER AND HIS TEAM ARE TRYING EVERYTHING TO MAKE SURE THEY WIN ` THAT INCLUDES TRAINING RECOVERY IN A CRYOTHERAPY UNIT IN LAS VEGAS, AS USED BY MULTIPLE WORLD CHAMPION FLOYD MAYWEATHER JUNIOR. IT'S ALL PART OF TWEAKING PARKER'S PREPARATIONS. WE'VE HAD TO TRY AND REVISE AND RETHINK AND RE-STRATEGISE. IT'S BEEN A LITTLE CHALLENGING. OTHER MAJOR CHANGES HAD TO BE MADE JUST SIX WEEKS AGO. WE'D BEEN PREPARING THE LAST TWO CAMPS TO FIGHT ON THE ANTHONY JOSHUA UNDERCARD OR FIGHT ANTHONY JOSHUA IN THE UK, SO WE PREPARING WITH TALL SPARRING PARTNERS. THAT MEANS GOING FROM BOXING AGAINST 6'5" PLUS DOWN TO 6FT AT BEST IN ANDY RUIZ. BARRY'S HAPPY WITH PARKER'S 75 ROUNDS OF SPARRING AGAINST SHORTER OPPONENTS, USING DIFFERING, SHARPER TECHNIQUES. GLOVES SMACK TRAINING NOW WINDS DOWN OVER THE NEXT 10 DAYS IN AUCKLAND. THIS TIME AROUND BARRY IS SOLELY FOCUSING ON TRAINING. THE PAIR HAVE A NUMBER OF COMMITMENTS THIS WEEK OUTSIDE THE RING, BUT THAT WILL STOP NEXT WEEK. BARRY SAYS PARKER'S FAMILY IS HUGELY SUPPORTIVE, BUT ALSO GIVING HIM SPACE IN AUCKLAND. JOE'S MUM AND DAD, THEY KNOW THEIR SON'S BEING TAKEN CARE OF. THE TRAINER'S OWN FAMILY IS BACK HERE FROM VEGAS, SON TAYLOR HELPING TRAIN PARKER, WIFE TANYA ASSISTING. DAUGHTER JORDI ARRIVES ON FIGHT DAY, RUSHING FROM UNIVERSITY AND A POLITICAL SCIENCE MASTERS DEGREE IN NEW YORK. SHE MIGHT BE DOING HER DOCTORATE AT HARVARD? GOODNESS ME. > WELL, YES, SHE'S BEEN APPROACHED FOR THAT. SHE'S A SMARTY. CHUCKLES: SHE GOT ALL THE BRAINS ` OFF YOUR WIFE. > CHUCKLES: YEAH. JOSEPH PARKER'S FIGHT EDUCATION IS NEARING ITS NEXT MAJOR HURDLE. LEWIS HAMILTON COULD FACE DISCIPLINARY ACTION AFTER DISOBEYING TEAM ORDERS IN A VAIN ATTEMPT TO PREVENT TEAMMATE NICO ROSBERG BECOMING FORMULA ONE WORLD CHAMPION. ROSBERG'S SECOND PLACE BEHIND HAMILTON IN THE ABU DHABI GRAND PRIX GAVE THE GERMAN THE TITLE BY FIVE POINTS. BUT THERE'S PLENTY MORE TO COME OFF THE TRACK. MARTIN TASKER REPORTS. THE SECOND TIME OF ASKING, AND THE ORDERS COULD NOT HAVE BEEN MORE DISTINCT. OK, LEWIS, THIS IS AN INSTRUCTION. WE NEED 45 ONE FOR THE WIN. LEWIS HAMILTON CONTINUING TO DRIVE SLOWLY, TRYING TO PUSH NICO ROSBERG BACK IN THE PACK, MAKING HIM VULNERABLE TO BEING OVERTAKEN BY THE QUICKER CARS CHASING. WE NEED YOU TO PICK UP THE PACE TO WIN THIS RACE. THAT'S AN INSTRUCTION. A PETULANT HAMILTON STILL REFUSING TO SPEED UP. RIGHT NOW I'M LOSING THE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP, SO I'M NOT REALLY BOTHERED IF I WIN OR LOSE THIS RACE. HAMILTON'S SPOILING TACTICS FAILING, WITH ROSBERG MANAGING TO FEND OFF THE THREAT FROM BEHIND. LEWIS HAMILTON WINS THE ABU DHABI GRAND PRIX! NICO ROSBERG IS SECOND ` HE TAKES THE CHAMPIONSHIP 34 YEARS AFTER HIS FATHER. NICO AND KEKE ROSBERG THE SECOND FATHER-AND-SON TITLE HOLDERS AFTER GRAHAM AND DAMON HILL. YEAH! WE DID IT! HAMILTON'S POOR SPORTSMANSHIP CONTINUING AFTER THE RACE, WITH NO ACKNOWLEDGEMENT TO ROSBERG AS THEY WAITED TO GO ON TO THE PODIUM. NO SURPRISE TO SOME. I THINK IT'S THE OLD SAYING, ISN'T IT? 'SHOW ME A GOOD LOSER, AND I'LL SHOW YOU A LOSER.' AND HE DID THE ONLY THING HE COULD TODAY ` THAT WAS TRY AND SPOIL HIS TEAMMATE'S RACE. HAMILTON FINALLY RECOGNISING ROSBERG ALMOST AS AN AFTERTHOUGHT. AND A BIG CONGRATULATIONS TO NICO, OF COURSE, FOR HIS WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP. GOOD JOB, MAN. CHEERING, APPLAUSE ROSBERG'S STILL SMARTING OVER HAMILTON'S ANTICS. OH, IT REALLY` IT WAS A HORRIBLE FEELING OUT THERE AS THEY WERE COMING OUT FROM BEHIND WITH TWO LAPS TO GO, AND THIS IS THE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS WE'RE TALKING ABOUT. YOU KNOW IF I DROP BEHIND THOSE TWO, IF I MAKE A MISTAKE, THAT'S IT. OH. CELEBRATIONS FOR ROSBERG NEVERTHELESS, WHILE THE TEAM PONDERS SANCTIONS TO HAMILTON, WHICH COULD BE A FINE OR EVEN SUSPENSION. MARTIN TASKER, 1 NEWS. PERSISTING WITH PETULANCE, AND MANCHESTER UNITED MANAGER JOSE MOURINHO IS IN TROUBLE AGAIN AFTER HIS LATEST TEMPER TANTRUM ON THE SIDELINES. THE GRUMPY ONE'S DAY GOT OFF TO THE WORST POSSIBLE START WHEN HIS SIDE CONCEDED AN EARLY GOAL AT HOME TO WEST HAM. BUT PAUL POGBA AND ZLATAN IBRAHIMOVIC THEN COMBINED FOR THE EQUALISER. A GOAL FOR THE SWEDISH MASTER SET UP BY THE WORLD'S MOST EXPENSIVE FOOTBALLER. EXPANSIVE DIVER TOO, POGBA'S PLUNGE SEEING HIM YELLOW CARDED AND SUSPENDED FOR UNITED'S NEXT MATCH. THE FIERY FRENCHMAN WAS LIVID AND HIS MANAGER WAS EVEN ANGRIER, VENTING HIS FRUSTRATION WITH A BIG LASH AT A WATER BOTTLE. THAT WAS ENOUGH FOR REFEREE JON MOSS, WHO HAD SENT HIM TO THE STANDS A YEAR AGO, AND HE HAD NO HESITATION BANISHING MOURINHO AGAIN. HE DIDN'T MISS MUCH AS THE MATCH FINISHED 1-ALL, COSTING UNITED VALUABLE POINTS. MEANWHILE A BLUNDER ALSO COST BOURNEMOUTH, GIFTING ARSENAL'S ALEXIS SANCHEZ THE OPENING GOAL IN NORTH LONDON. THE GUNNERS LAYING ON A SECOND FOR THE CHILEAN FORWARD IN THE 3-1 WIN, WHICH KEPT THEM IN FOURTH SPOT IN THE LEAGUE, THREE POINTS OFF THE LEAD ` SOMETHING TO CELEBRATE. PROBABLY THE HAPPIEST FOOTBALLER IN THE WORLD TONIGHT IS DIEGO MARADONA AFTER CHEERING ARGENTINA TO ITS FIRST EVER DAVIS CUP TENNIS TITLE. WHEN INJURY-PRONE JUAN MARTIN DEL POTRO BROKE A FINGER, IT DIDN'T LOOK GOOD FOR ARGENTINA AGAINST CROATIA IN ZAGREB. WORLD NUMBER SIX MARIN CILLIC LOOKED SET TO WRAP UP THE TIE WITH A SINGLES RUBBER TO SPARE. BUT DEL POTRO CAME FROM TWO SETS DOWN TO LEVEL THE FINAL AT TWO MATCHES ALL. OH, HE'S MADE THAT. THAT IS A MAGNIFICENT MOVE BY DEL POTRO. TO TRY AND FINISH IT OFF. CROWD ROARS IT IS ARGENTINA'S TITLE! DELBONIS DELIVERS! 30 YEARS AFTER MARADONA LED ARGENTINA TO FOOTBALL GLORY, FEDERICO DELBON-IS THEN CLOSED OUT THE TIE WITH A STRAIGHT-SETS WIN OVER IVO KARLOVIC, TRIGGERING RAPTUROUS SCENES AS ARGENTINA CLINCHED THE DAVIS CUP AFTER LOSING ITS FOUR PREVIOUS FINALS. THEY'RE THE SECOND MOST SUCCESSFUL NATIONAL TEAM IN WORLD BOWLS CHAMPIONSHIP HISTORY. NOW THE BLACKJACKS WILL BE BATTLING FOR TOP SPOT ON HOME SOIL IN CHRISTCHURCH. AUSTRALIA IS THE ONLY COUNTRY TO WIN MORE TITLES IN THE PREMIER EVENT, BUT A LARGELY VETERAN NZ SIDE COULD CHANGE THAT. ONE OF THE YOUNG FACES, KATELYN INCH (21), SAYS THE HOME ADVANTAGE WILL BE A BOOST FOR THE TEAM. IT'S LOOKING REALLY TOUGH. IT'S ONE OF THOSE THINGS WHERE ANYONE CAN GO OUT ON THE DAY, HAVE A GOOD DAY AND BEAT YOU. BUT YEAH, I THINK WE CAN DO IT. WE'VE GOT A REALLY STRONG TEAM AND WE'VE BEEN GELLING WELL OVER THE LAST FEW WEEKS, SO LOOKING FORWARD TO IT. THE BLACKJACKS ARE HOPING TO AT LEAST EQUAL THEIR LAST TWO WORLD CHAMPS PERFORMANCES OF FIVE MEDALS TO PUT THEM IN GOOD STEAD FOR NEXT YEAR'S COMMONWEALTH GAMES. DUNEDIN HAS FOUND ANOTHER USE FOR ITS COVERED STADIUM. IT'S BEING TRANSFORMED FOR THE SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE'S FIRST EVER DRIFTING CHAMPIONSHIPS HELD AT AN INDOOR STADIUM. A 360M TRACK'S BEING LAID ON TOP OF THE PLAYING SURFACE FOR THE FIRST ROUND OF THE D1NZ CHAMPS. 80 TRUCKLOADS OF CONCRETE CREATING A TRACK 90 MILS THICK ON WHICH CARS WILL DRIFT AT SPEEDS WELL OVER 100KM/H. SO YOU'VE GOTTA BE REALLY CAREFUL WITH SAFETY. WE'VE GOTTA BE REALLY ON TO BUILDING THE TRACK RIGHT, MAKING SURE THE ANGLES ARE ALL RIGHT AND JUST MAKING SURE THAT EVERYONE'S KEPT SAFE. A DEMONSTRATION STAGE OF THE SILVER FERN RALLY AND THE SUPERMOTO DRIFT MOTORBIKES WILL USE THE TRACK THIS WEEKEND AS WELL. GOOD TO SEE A GREAT FACILITY USED. SEVEN SHARP STANDING BY. ED SHEERAN'S BIZARRE INJURY. ALSO TONIGHT, WE'RE OUT ON THE WATER AS CONFUSION GROWS AROUND OUR LIFE JACKET LAWS. I THINK IF IT WAS ONE RULE FOR ALL, AND THAT WAS YOU HAVE TO WEAR THEM, IT WOULD BE MUCH SIMPLER. PLUS, LADIES, WE THINK WE'VE FOUND THE PERFECT GUY. WHEN YOU GIVE A BUNCH OF ROSES TO SOMEBODY THAT YOU LOVE, YOU'RE SHOWING YOUR TRUE PASSION FOR THEM.
