GOOD EVENING, EVERYONE. WE'RE SITTING UNDER A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE AS WE WIND DOWN THE WORKING WEEK. THERE WILL BE SUNSHINE ON SATURDAY FOR SOME, BUT PLENTY OF CLOUD ABOUT TOO, WITH LITTLE WIND TO MOVE IT ON. 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. SERIOUS PRIVACY ISSUES ARE RAISED BY A GOVERNMENT AGENCY'S ABILITY TO TRACK WHAT YOU DO WITH INFORMATION IT SENDS YOU. POLICE SALUTE ONE OF THEIR OWN, SWEPT AWAY WHEN A RESCUE BID WENT WRONG. AND THE KIDS ARE SPELLBOUND BY SUPERSTARS FROM HAWAII AHEAD OF THE BIG FESTIVAL FOR A LITTLE INSTRUMENT. KIA ORA. GOOD EVENING. CONCERNS ABOUT BIG BROTHER SNOOPING HAVE PROMPTED A REVIEW OF PRIVACY IN AT LEAST ONE GOVERNMENT DEPARTMENT. THE NZ TRANSPORT AGENCY'S LOOKING AT HOW IT TRACKS THE EMAILS IT SENDS TO PEOPLE. AND, AS POLITICAL REPORTER ANDREA VANCE EXPLAINS, IT SEEMS THE NZTA ISN'T THE ONLY GOVERNMENT DEPARTMENT DOING IT. ROB SUISTED WAS BATTLING PLANS TO INCREASE TRAFFIC THROUGH THIS VALLEY HE LEARNED THE TRANSPORT AGENCY WAS INTERESTED IN HIS EMAIL TRAFFIC. NZTA DON'T WANT TO KNOW WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY, BUT THEY WANT TO KNOW WHAT WE DO. HE TOOK HIS CONCERNS TO INTERNAL AFFAIRS MINISTER AND LOCAL MP PETER DUNNE. SO IT POTENTIALLY ENABLES NZTA TO SEE WHAT THE RECIPIENT DOES WITH THE EMAIL THAT THEY RECEIVE. NZTA'S NOW REVIEWING THE PRACTICE. THE PRIVACY COMMISSIONER'S TAKING A LOOK TOO. CITIZENS EXPECT THAT THEIR COMMUNICATIONS WITH GOVERNMENT AGENCIES ARE PRIVILEGED. THEY DON'T EXPECT THE GOVERNMENT TO BE POTENTIALLY SNOOPING ROUND TO SEE WHAT THEY DO WITH THE COMMUNICATIONS THAT THEY RECEIVE. THE TRANSPORT MINISTER SAYS HE'S TAKING THE CONCERNS SERIOUSLY. IT IS VALID FOR GOVERNMENT AGENCIES LIKE THE NZTA TO BE SEEKING FEEDBACK, CLEARLY IN THIS CASE ON ROADING PROJECTS, BUT THEN GETTING DOWN TO THE INDIVIDUAL LEVEL AND KNOWING EXACTLY WHO THEY ARE AND SO ON ` I THINK MOST PEOPLE SAY THAT SEEMS A BIT STRANGE. HERE'S HOW THE EMAIL TRACKING WORKS. NZTA USES AN ANALYTICAL TOOL CALLED CAMPAIGN MONITOR, WHICH KICKS IN WHEN PEOPLE SUBSCRIBE TO AN E-NEWSLETTER ABOUT ROADWORKS IN THEIR AREA. THE AGENCY CAN THEN SEE EMAIL ADDRESSES OF THOSE WHO'VE OPENED THE EMAIL, AND THOSE WHO HAVEN'T. THEY CAN SEE WHICH EMAIL SERVICE ` LIKE GMAIL OR OUTLOOK ` WAS USED TO OPEN IT, AND HOW MANY TIMES IT WAS FORWARDED ON. I CAN UNDERSTAND THEIR INTEREST IN KNOWING THAT, THIS EXPERT AND PRIVACY LAWYER SAYS THE TOOLS ARE COMMONPLACE IN MARKETING AND POLITICAL CAMPAIGNS. YOU HAVE TO BE CAREFUL, TO MAKE SURE PRIVACY RULES ARE OBSERVED. I WOULDN'T DO IT TO MY CUSTOMERS. IF, IN FACT, ACROSS THE BOARD THIS SORT OF THING'S HAPPENING, CITIZENS WILL BEGIN TO LOSE CONFIDENCE IN THE INTEGRITY OF THE DATA THAT THEY PROVIDE TO THE GOVERNMENT. WHERE AGENCIES NEED COMMUNITY REACTION, PETER DUNNE SAYS TALK TO PEOPLE DIRECTLY. ANDREA VANCE, 1 NEWS. POLICE TODAY RECOVERED THE BODY OF A WELL-RESPECTED AND LONG-SERVING PALMERSTON NORTH COLLEAGUE WHO DROWNED IN THE MANAWATU RIVER LAST NIGHT. SERGEANT MIKE TOON DISAPPEARED AFTER GOING IN TO RESCUE HIS DAUGHTER. EMILY COOPER REPORTS. A GUARD OF HONOUR FOR ONE OF THEIR OWN. MANAWATU POLICE HAD THE GRIM TASK OF RECOVERING THEIR COLLEAGUE'S BODY ` SERGEANT MIKE TOON. HE ACTED WITH COURAGE AND DEDICATION, WHICH ARE CHARACTERISTIC OF BOTH A FATHER AND A POLICE OFFICER. SERGEANT TOON WAS OUT WALKING HIS DOG LAST NIGHT WITH HIS DAUGHTER WHEN THE DOG WENT INTO THE MANAWATU RIVER. HIS DAUGHTER WENT AFTER IT, SLIPPING INTO THE RIVER AS WELL. HE THEN WENT IN AFTER HER AND GOT INTO TROUBLE. HE WAS A LOVING FAMILY MAN AND A MAN WHO WOULD GIVE YOU THE SHIRT OFF HIS BACK AND ALWAYS HAD TIME TO HELP OTHERS. THE RIVER WAS AT AN INCREASED LEVEL AND FLOWING FAST, BUT COLLEAGUES SAY HE WAS A STRONG SWIMMER. HIS DAUGHTER WAS TAKEN TO HOSPITAL BUT DIDN'T SUFFER ANY INJURIES. THE FAMILY DOG WAS FOUND UNINJURED NOT LONG AFTER. MIKE'S DAUGHTER AND THE DOG ARE BOTH RECOVERING WELL AND OBVIOUSLY AT THIS TIME IT'S VERY TOUGH FOR THEM. THEY ARE IN SHOCK AND THEY ARE AS WELL AS CAN BE EXPECTED. THE SPCA SAYS AS PETS ARE CONSIDERED FAMILY, IT'S EASY FOR INSTINCTS TO KICK IN WHEN THEY GET INTO TROUBLE. IF I SAW MY PET IN PERIL I'D HAVE TO MAKE A HARD DECISION ABOUT IF I WAS GOING TO STAY SAFE OR NOT, BUT YOU DO HAVE TO TAKE A STEP BACK. THE RESPECTED POLICE OFFICER HAD JUST CELEBRATED 28 YEARS IN THE FORCE. HE'S SEEN HERE IN A ONE NEWS STORY FROM 1999. WE ARE A LARGE POLICE FAMILY AND IT AFFECTS EVERYONE. NOW HIS FAMILY HAS BEEN LEFT WITHOUT THEIR FATHER BEFORE CHRISTMAS, AND A COMMUNITY WITHOUT A LEADING POLICE OFFICER. EMILY COOPER, 1 NEWS. ONE OF THE FIRST MEN TO STEP FOOT ON THE MOON IS RECOVERING IN CHRISTCHURCH AFTER BEING EVACUATED FROM A VISIT TO ANTARCTICA. BUZZ ALDRIN WAS FLOWN OUT OF THE SOUTH POLE FOLLOWING A MEDICAL EMERGENCY. BUT AS SAM CLARKE REPORTS, IT'LL TAKE A LITTLE MORE TO KEEP THIS MOON MAN DOWN. IT'S NOT THE FACE YOU'D EXPECT FROM A MAN WHO'S JUST BEEN EVACUATED FROM ONE OF THE MOST HOSTILE ENVIRONMENTS ON THE PLANET. BUT THEN AGAIN, WHEN YOU'VE BEEN TO THE MOON,... IT'S GOT THE APPEARANCE OF BEING VERY FINE GRAINED. ...ANTARCTICA IS JUST ANOTHER TRIP. BUT IT'S ONE THAT HAD TO BE CUT SHORT AFTER THE 86-YEAR-OLD'S HEALTH BEGAN TO DETERIORATE. A CARGO PLANE FITTED WITH SKIS FLEW HIM FROM THE POLE TO MCMURDO STATION WHERE HE WAS TRANSFERRED TO ANOTHER PLANE TO MAKE THE EIGHT-HOUR FLIGHT TO CHRISTCHURCH. WE DO MAKE THE PATIENTS AS COMFORTABLE AS WE POSSIBLY CAN WITHIN THAT MILITARY AIRCRAFT, BUT WE DON'T DO IT VERY OFTEN SO WE'RE QUITE FORTUNATE. FORTUNATE THIS TIME. EXPERTS SAY THE FLIGHTS ARE AT THE MERCY OF THE WEATHER. IN WINTER, IT'S A VERY DIFFERENT SCENARIO. WE HAVE TO CONSIDER THE SAFETY OF THE AIR CREWS WHO ARE FLYING DOWN THERE. HE'S NOW RECOVERING HERE AT CHRISTCHURCH HOSPITAL. OFFICIALS SAY HE'S BEING TREATED FOR FLUID ON THE LUNGS, BUT HE'S RESPONDING WELL AND IS IN GOOD SPIRITS. COL ALDRIN IS NO STRANGER TO BARREN, ALIEN ENVIRONMENTS, BUT OF COURSE, HE MADE HIS FAMOUS TRIP WHEN WAS ALMOST 50 YEARS YOUNGER THAN HE IS NOW. HUMAN NATURE AND CURIOSITY IS TO EXPLORE THE WORLD AROUND US, AND THE WORLD AROUND US INCLUDES WAY BEYOND. EVEN IN HIS 80S, EXPLORING IS SOMETHING THIS MOONWALKER HASN'T STOPPED DOING. AND HE DOESN'T WANT MANKIND TO STOP EITHER. RECENT YEARS HE'S BECOME AN ADVOCATE OF GOING TO MARS. I THINK THAT'S WHERE WE SHOULD GO, AND PEOPLE SHOULD BE COLONISTS. THEY SHOULD BE SETTLERS. FOR NOW THOUGH, A SMILE AND A THUMBS UP. THIS SPACEMAN CLEARLY HAPPY TO BE ON SOLID GROUND. SAM CLARKE, 1 NEWS. HOLIDAYING IN NZ MIGHT GET A BIT MORE COSTLY IF THE GOVERNMENT ADOPTS A PROPOSED 2% BED TAX. IT'S ONE RECOMMENDATION FROM AN INDUSTRY REPORT ON HOW TO FUND HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN INFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENT. POLITICAL EDITOR CORIN DANN HAS MORE. NZ'S ROADS, CAR PARKS AND SEWERAGE ARE STRAINING FROM RECORD VISITOR NUMBERS. AT THAT LOCAL GOVERNMENT LEVEL, DO THEY HAVE THE ABILITY TO RESPOND? EVEN IF IT'S ONLY TOILETS AND CAR PARKING AND THAT SORT OF INFRASTRUCTURE. INDUSTRY LEADERS LIKE AIR NZ DON'T THINK SO, AND IN A REPORT JUST RELEASED, THEY'RE CALLING FOR $130M A YEAR FOR THE NEXT 10 YEARS FOR A TOURISM INFRASTRUCTURE FUND TO HELP LOCAL COUNCILS KEEP PUBLIC FACILITIES UP TO SCRATCH. HALF OF THAT ANNUAL FUNDING WOULD COME FROM THE GOVERNMENT ` $65M. THE OTHER HALF WOULD BE FROM A 2% CHARGE ON ALL ACCOMMODATION FACILITIES, INCLUDING CAMP SITES AND AIRBNB. AND A THERE WOULD A $5 INCREASE TO THE INTERNATIONAL PASSENGER BORDER LEVY. WELL WORTH HAVING A GOOD DEBATE ABOUT IT AND SEEING IF IT'S THE RIGHT SOLUTION FOR NZ. THE GOVERNMENT'S HAD THE REPORT SINCE TUESDAY. ONE LEGITIMATE OPTION IS THE GOVERNMENT MIGHT PUT UP THE MONEY AND JUST SAY, LOOK, WE'RE NOT PREPARED TO MOVE ON THESE THINGS. ANOTHER IS TO SAY, WELL, WE MIGHT GO AND BE PREPARED TO GO AND SUPPORT SOME OTHER FORM OF RAISING MONEY. A 2% BED TAX ISN'T HIGH BY INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS. BUT TOURISTS WE'VE SPOKEN TO WEREN'T KEEN. BECAUSE WE ALREADY PAY ENOUGH WHEN WE COME TO VISIT. I WOULD PREFER IF THEY DON'T PUT A TAX. IF YOU IMPROVE THE INFRASTRUCTURE, IT IS A GOOD IDEA. IT'S HARD TO SEE THE GOVERNMENT BEING COMFORTABLE WITH A BED TAX. IT WOULD BE A NEW TAX, AND AT THE LAST ELECTION IT PROMISED TO AVOID NEW TAXES. AND UNDER THE RECOMMENDATIONS IN THIS REPORT, IT WOULD HIT KIWIS IN THE POCKET TOO. 60% OF TOURISM IS DOMESTIC TOURISM. BUT WITH TOURIST NUMBERS EXPECTED TO CLIMB TO 4.5 MILLION BY 2022, DOING NOTHING ISN'T AN OPTION. WHETHER THE GOVERNMENT'S WILLING TO TAKE THE PLUNGE ON A NEW BED TAX SHOULD BE KNOWN EARLY NEXT YEAR. CORIN DANN, 1 NEWS. AN AMERICAN TOURIST HAS SPOKEN OF HIS ANGUISH ON LEARNING HE'D BEEN DRUGGED AND INDECENTLY ASSAULTED BY THE OWNER OF A KAITAIA BACKPACKERS' LODGE. MICHAEL HARRIS WAS ARRESTED IN 2014 AND ADMITTED MULTIPLE CHARGES OF OFFENDING AGAINST YOUNG, MALE TRAVELLERS, INCLUDING MAKING INTIMATE VISUAL RECORDINGS. A TOURIST WHO TRAVELLED BACK TO READ HIS VICTIM IMPACT STATEMENT IN COURT IN WHANGAREI TOLD 1 NEWS HE FELT VIOLATED. IT JUST MAKES YOU FEEL, LIKE, REALLY DIRTY AND GROSS AND IT'S HARD TO TRUST ANYBODY AFTER THAT. SOMEBODY YOU THOUGHT CARED THAT MUCH ABOUT YOU TO PREY ON YOU AND DO IT WHEN YOU'RE COMPLETELY DEFENCELESS ` IT'S HORRIBLE. HARRIS'S SENTENCING HAS BEEN DELAYED TILL THE NEW YEAR AS POLICE SEEK FORFEITURE OF HIS MAIN STREET LODGE. MILK TANKERS AND OTHER ESSENTIAL FREIGHT WILL BE GIVEN PRIORITY ACCESS IN AND OUT OF KAIKOURA VIA THE INLAND ROAD FROM MONDAY. MEANWHILE GNS SCIENCE IS MONITORING 11 DAMS BACKED UP BEHIND LAND SLIPS THAT POSE A POTENTIAL RISK. IN A 10-DAY HELICOPTER SURVEY SCIENTISTS IDENTIFIED 150 LANDSLIDES IN STREAMS AND RIVERS ACROSS MARLBOROUGH AND NORTH CANTERBURY. THREE SLIP DAMS ARE HIGH ABOVE, ALTHOUGH SOME DISTANCE FROM THE INLAND ROAD TO KAIKOURA. THE DAMS ARE UP IN THE HIGH COUNTRY AND THERE'S A WIDE FLOOD PLANE BEFORE YOU GET TO THE INLAND ROAD, SO OUR DETERMINATION IS THAT THE FLOW ` BY THE TIME IT GETS TO THE BRIDGES IT WILL GO UNDER THE BRIDGES AND NOT AFFECT THE INLAND ROAD. AND EVACUEES FROM 23 PROPERTIES THREATENED BY A SLIP DAM AT GOOSE BAY WILL FIND OUT LATE NEXT WEEK WHETHER THEY CAN RETURN. VOTERS GO TO THE POLLS IN MOUNT ROSKILL'S BY-ELECTION TOMORROW TO CHOOSE THEIR NEW MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT. THE SEAT WAS HELD WITH A NEARLY 6500 VOTE MAJORITY BY LABOUR'S PHIL GOFF BEFORE HE STOOD DOWN TO BECOME MAYOR OF AUCKLAND. POLITICAL REPORTER KATIE BRADFORD'S BEEN IN MOUNT ROSKILL FOR TODAY'S LAST FLURRY OF CAMPAIGNING. KATIE. I'M AT A PUB IN ROYAL OAK WHERE THE PM IS DUE FOR AN EVENT WITH HIS CANDIDATE. MICHAEL WOOD IS HOLDING LAST MINUTE MEETINGS WITH ANDREW LITTLE. BY-ELECTIONS USUALLY HAVE A LOW TURN-OUT. THERE'S NO LOVE LOST BETWEEN THE FRONT-RUNNERS IN THIS BY-ELECTION. THERE'VE BEEN ALLEGATION OF DIRTY TRICKS AND A SMEAR CAMPAIGN. YOU SEND YOUR OWN CANDIDATE'S HUSBAND IN TO DISRUPT MEETINGS AND YOU SEND PEOPLE OUT WHO ARE THREATENING MEMBERS OF THE INDIAN COMMUNITY ABOUT VOTING THE RIGHT WAY, AND IT HAS TO BE NATIONAL. THERE'S SOME PRETTY UGLY THINGS GOING ON. I'M REALLY PROUD OF THE WAY WE HAVE RUN THIS CAMPAIGN. LABOUR'S MICHAEL WOOD HAS BIG SHOES TO FILL ` AUCKLAND MAYOR PHIL GOFF WAS THE MP HERE FOR OVER 20 YEARS. FILL PHIL'S SHOES. (CHUCKLES) LOOK, I WEAR A DIFFERENT PAIR OF SHOES. I ACTUALLY WORE OUT MY SHOES YESTERDAY WHILE I WAS OUT DOOR-KNOCKING TO BUY SOME NEW ONES. MR WOOD, THOUGH, DENIES HE'S BITTEN OFF MORE THAN HE CAN CHEW TO HOLD ON TO ONE OF LABOUR'S SAFEST SEATS. THERE IS NO PLAN 'B' FOR ME. I'VE PUT EVERYTHING INTO THIS BY-ELECTION AND IT IS MY INTENTION TO WIN IT. NATIONAL'S PARMJEET PARMAR ` A LIST MP WITH AN OFFICE IN MT ROSKILL ` ALSO REFUSES TO CONTEMPLATE LOSING. I'M COMMITTED TO MT ROSKILL. THAT'S WHY I DECIDED TO PUT MY HAND UP TO STAND IN THIS BY-ELECTION. BUT EVEN HER BOSS HAS PLAYED DOWN NATIONAL'S CHANCES OF WINNING. IT'S NOT IMPOSSIBLE THAT WE'D WIN IT, AND WE'RE CERTAINLY URGING EVERY NATIONAL VOTER TO GET OUT THERE AND VOTE FOR PARMJEET, BUT WE'RE DEFINITELY THE UNDERDOG. BOTH CANDIDATES ARE CONFIDENT A HIGH VOTER TURNOUT WOULD HELP THEM. THIS IS A FAMILY MAN AND THAT'S WHAT WE NEED. THESE GUYS CAN REALLY DO SOMETHING. SHE'S A LADY, AND SHE KNOWS WHAT SHE'S DOING. SHE'S COME OUT OF HER WAY TO COME INTO THE MALL TO TALK TO THE ORDINARY JOE BLOGGS. AND THE THIRD CANDIDATE HERE ` THE NEW PEOPLE'S PARTY ` BELIEVES HE'S IN WITH A CHANCE. YEAH, I'VE GOT A GOOD CHANCE. I THINK YOU MIGHT GET A SURPRISE. BUT YOU'D HAVE TO SAY IT'S LABOUR'S TO LOSE, AND ANDREW LITTLE'S NOT CONTEMPLATING THE CATASTROPHIC ALTERNATIVE. DON'T ASK US TO PREDICT THE OUTCOME TOMORROW AND WHAT HAPPENS AFTER. THIS IS A CAMPAIGN FOCUSED ON GETTING THE RIGHT RESULT. TOMORROW NIGHT, WE'LL KNOW WHO'S SEALED THE DEAL WITH MT ROSKILL VOTERS. IT WOULD BE A DISASTER FOR LABOUR IF THEY LOST. TO GO INTO AN ELECTION YEAR AFTER LOSING THEIR SAFEST SEAT WOULD BE BAD FOR THEM. IF THEY WIN, IT WILL GIVE THEM A BIT OF A BOOST IN THE UPCOMING ELECTION. A CHRISTCHURCH LIBRARY DESTROYED BY THE 2011 EARTHQUAKE HAS OPENED ITS NEW DOORS FOR THE FIRST TIME ON ITS ORIGINAL SITE IN REDCLIFFS. THE LIBRARY HAS BEEN RUN BY VOLUNTEERS SINCE IT WAS FIRST ESTABLISHED IN 1914. I LOVE LIBRARIES. I LOVE BOOKS. THE REASON I'M THE MAYOR TODAY ` AND I AM LOOKING AT THE YOUNGER GENERATION - IS BECAUSE I WAS AN AVID READER OF BOOKS. LAST WEEK, STUDENTS FROM REDCLIFFS SCHOOL FORMED A HUMAN CHAIN TO MOVE THE LIBARY'S BOOKS BACK IN. THOUSANDS OF SCHOOL CHILDREN DESCEND ON AUCKLAND'S VECTOR ARENA TOMORROW FOR THE ANNUAL UKULELE FESTIVAL. IT'S NOW CELEBRATING ITS 10TH YEAR. SAM KELWAY SPENT THE DAY AT THE SCHOOL WHERE IT ALL STARTED, ON THE EVE OF THEIR BIG PERFORMANCE. UKELELE MUSIC THEIR FACES SAY IT ALL. TWO GIANTS OF THE MUSIC WORLD JAMMING WITH THE STUDENTS AT MOUNT ROSKILL PRIMARY. IT FELT LIKE I WAS IN HEAVEN. HONOKA AND AZITA, WHO HAVE A MASSIVE YOUTUBE FOLLOWING, ARE HERE FOR THE UKULELE FESTIVAL. UKELELE MUSIC THE EVENT'S COME A LONG WAY SINCE IT BEGAN A DECADE AGO. THEN, 600 STUDENTS PERFORMED. THIS YEAR IT'LL BE ALMOST 3000. UKULELE MUSIC IT'S AMAZING TO SEE PEOPLE AND THE KIDS IN NZ PICKING UP THE UKULELE AND JUST JAMMING AND HAVING FUN. WE DON'T HAVE ANYTHING LIKE THAT IN HAWAII. WE DON'T REALLY GET PLAY UKULELE LIKE THIS AT SCHOOL, SO SEEING THEM AND HOW PASSIONATE THEY WERE WAS REALLY INSPIRING. MUSIC THE KIDS ARE WORKING ON INCLUDE POP SONGS FROM AVALANCHE CITY AND SIX60, TRADITIONAL PASIFIKA TUNES AND A UKULELE MASHUP OF BEETHOVEN. IT'S VITAL FOR THE KIDS ` NOT JUST THEIR EDUCATION DEVELOPMENT BUT THEIR SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT AS WELL. THINK THESE CHILDREN GET SO MUCH PLEASURE, SO MUCH JOY. THEY'RE HAVING TO READ WORDS. THEY'RE HAVING TO WORK TOGETHER. WELL, UNLIKE THIS LOT I CAN'T ACTUALLY PLAY THE UKULELE, BUT THIS LOT CAN. THEY'LL BE PERFORMING IN FRONT OF THOUSANDS, AND THEY HAVE A FEW TRICKS UP THEIR SLEEVE. THERE'S NO OTHER SCHOOL THAT DOES THAT. SO NO EXCUSE FOR THE AUDIENCE NOT TO JUMP TO THEIR FEET. SAM KELWAY, 1 NEWS. COMING UP ` CONTINUING TO PAY THE PRICE WEEKS AFTER THE EARTHQUAKE. A CALL FOR HELP FROM THOSE LOCKED-OUT WELLINGTON BUSINESSES AS THE FINANCIAL NOOSE TIGHTENS INSIDE THE CORDON. AMERICA'S PRESIDENT-ELECT BEGINS A TOUR TO THANK THE VOTERS, BUT THE WORKERS AT THIS FACTORY ARE THE ONES SAYING THANK YOU TO DONALD TRUMP. AND HE PLAYED ONE OF THE CLASSIC CHARACTERS IN BRITISH COMEDY. WE REMEMBER THE MAN WHO BROUGHT US MANUEL, FAWLTY TOWERS' SPANISH WAITER. SOME WELLINGTON RESIDENTS AND BUSINESSES SAY THEY ARE BEING 'FINANCIALLY CRIPPLED' BECAUSE THEY ARE STILL LOCKED OUT OF THEIR BUILDINGS AFTER THE NOVEMBER 14TH EARTHQUAKE. THE GOVERNMENT HAS PROVIDED A RELIEF PACKAGE FOR BUSINESSES, BUT MANY AREN'T ELIGIBLE. ANDREW MORRISON REPORTS. THE LIGHTS ARE ON, BUT NOBODY'S HOME AT THIS INNER CITY BAR EVACUATED AFTER THE QUAKE BECAUSE A NEARBY CINEMA CAR PARK IS AT RISK OF COLLAPSE. NO TIME TO EVEN TURN THE LIGHTS OFF. ALL THE STOCK'S STILL INSIDE THERE, PERISHING. GREIG WAS ALSO DUE TO OPEN A NEW BAR NEXT DOOR THIS WEEK, BUT HE'S LOCKED OUT DURING THE BUSIEST MONTH OF THE YEAR. IT'S A LITTLE BIT LIKE SANTA CLAUS RINGING UP, SAYING THAT HE'S NOT COMING THIS YEAR. THE GOVERNMENT WILL HELP SOME BUSINESSES PAY THEIR STAFF, BUT NOT IF THEY HAVE CONTINUITY INSURANCE, LEAVING UP TO 90% OF BUSINESSES INELIGIBLE, ACCORDING TO SOME ESTIMATES. GRIEG'S INSURED, BUT THE PAST THREE WEEKS ISN'T COVERED UNDER HIS POLICY, SO HE'S AROUND $50,000 OUT OF POCKET. WE'VE BEEN GIVING OUR STAFF SOME LOANS TO HELP THEM PAY THE RENT, TO HELP THEM BUY FOOD, AND TO FIND OUT OUR EMPLOYEES AREN'T ELIGIBLE FOR THIS GOVERNMENT SCHEME JUST SEEMS LUDICROUS. SOME BUSINESSES WILL PROBABLY GO BROKE. BUT THE GOVERNMENT IS ADAMANT THE HAND-OUT IS ONLY FOR THOSE WITHOUT INSURANCE. WE WILL HELP WITH RETENTION OF PERMANENT FULL-TIME AND PART-TIME STAFF THROUGH THIS PERIOD, BUT IT'S NOT GOING TO MAKE UP FOR TURNOVER THAT THEY'VE LOST DURING THAT PERIOD. WE JUST CAN'T DO THAT. SOME RESIDENTS EVACUATED NEAR THE READING CARPARK SAY THEY FEEL FORGOTTEN. JUST ANY FORM OF HELP OR ASSISTANCE IN ANY WAY, SHAPE OR FORM WOULD BE GOOD, YOU KNOW. IT'S REALLY TOUGH. PETE MACDONALD'S STRUGGLING TO PAY FOR TEMPORARY ACCOMMODATION. ITS $580 A WEEK I DON'T REALLY HAVE, ON TOP OF THE MORTGAGE PAYMENTS WE'VE GOTTA KEEP PAYING FOR OUR PLACE. IT'S FINANCIALLY CRIPPLING. HIS APARTMENT BUILDING ISN'T DAMAGED, SO ITS INSURED OCCUPANTS CAN'T GET ANY HELP. THE TRIGGER FOR ANY TEMPORARY ACCOMMODATION PAY-OUT, WHETHER ITS THROUGH HOUSE INSURANCE OR CONTENTS INSURANCE, WILL BE MATERIAL DAMAGE. THE FRUSTRATION COMPOUNDED FOR BOTH RESIDENTS AND BUSINESSES, BECAUSE WITH NO DEMOLITION DATE FOR THE CONDEMNED CAR PARK, THEY DON'T KNOW IF THEY'LL BE LET BACK IN IN WEEKS OR MONTHS. ANDREW MORRISON, 1 NEWS. US PRESIDENT-ELECT DONALD TRUMP HAS BEGUN HIS 'THANK-YOU TOUR' WITH A VISIT TO THE AIR CONDITIONING FACTORY HE STOPPED FROM MOVING TO MEXICO. HUNDREDS OF JOBS WERE SAVED WHEN MR TRUMP OFFERED TAX BREAKS TO THE CARRIER CORPORATION, BUT CRITICS SAY THE DEAL SETS A DANGEROUS PRECEDENT. ABC'S TOM LLAMAS WITH THE DETAILS. PRESIDENT-ELECT DONALD TRUMP TOUCHING DOWN IN INDIANA TODAY TO DELIVER AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE IN PERSON, TELLING HUNDREDS OF WORKERS AT THE CARRIER FACTORY HE JUST SAVED THEIR JOBS. SOME PEOPLE ARE CRYING. I MEAN, THEY'RE ALL CRYING. THEY'RE SO HAPPY. THEY'RE GONNA HAVE A GREAT CHRISTMAS. THAT'S MOST IMPORTANT. THE FACTORY BECOMING A SYMBOL OF CORPORATE GREED WITH THIS VIDEO WE TOLD YOU ABOUT ON WORLD NEWS TONIGHT IN FEBRUARY. THE MOMENT EXECUTIVES INFORMED WORKERS THEY WERE ELIMINATING 1400 JOBS. TO MOVE PRODUCTION FROM OUR FACILITY IN INDIANAPOLIS TO MONTERREY, MEXICO. PEOPLE EXCLAIM TRUMP SAW IT ON THE NEWS AND PROMISED HE WOULDN'T LET THAT HAPPEN. WE'RE NOT GONNA LET OUR JOBS BE TAKEN AWAY. HE SAID SHORTLY AFTER WINNING, HE CALLED CARRIER'S CEO. SO I CALLED GREG HAYES. I HEARD OF HIM, BUT I NEVER MET HIM. AND HE PICKED UP THE PHONE. 'MR PRESIDENT-ELECT, SIR. HOW ARE YOU?' IT'S WONDERFUL TO WIN, YOU KNOW. THINK IF I LOST, HE WOULDN'T HAVE RETURNED MY CALL. TODAY CARRIER ANNOUNCING IT WOULD KEEP AROUND 1100 JOBS IN INDIANAPOLIS, BUT NOT ALL OF THEM, LARGELY IN RETURN FOR $7M IN TAX INCENTIVES, FACILITATED BY THE STATE'S GOVERNOR, VICE PRESIDENT-ELECT MIKE PENCE. PRESIDENT-ELECT TRUMP JUST WRAPPED UP HIS ANNOUNCEMENT HERE AT THE CARRIER PLANT. SOME OF THE WORKERS HERE ARE CELEBRATING AS THEY LEAVE, BUT JUST DOWN THE STREET, A SEVEN-MINUTE DRIVE FROM HERE, THERE'S ANOTHER PLANT HERE IN INDIANAPOLIS THAT'S SHIPPING 350 JOBS TO MEXICO, AND AT THAT FACTORY TONIGHT, THOSE WORKERS ASKING, 'WILL DONALD TRUMP SAVE OUR JOBS AS WELL?' STILL, THE PRESIDENT-ELECT SAYS HE'S JUST SENT A VERY LOUD MESSAGE TO COMPANIES WHO WANNA LEAVE. DONALD TRUMP HAS WARNED OTHER COMPANIES AGAINST MOVING JOBS TO OTHER COUNTRIES, SAYING THEY'LL BE TAXED HEAVILY WHEN THEY BRING THE GOODS BACK INTO THE US. A TOXIC SMOG CLOUD HAS ENGULFED LONDON AND PARIS AMID WARNINGS THAT HIGH POLLUTION LEVELS COULD AFFECT MILLIONS OF PEOPLE. IN PARIS, A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SMOG CLOUD HAS BLANKETED THE CITY FOR TWO DAYS, PROMPTING AUTHORITIES TO LOWER THE SPEED LIMIT, BAN OPEN FIRES AND CUT MANUFACTURING. CLEARER CONDITIONS ARE FORECAST AND RESTRICTIONS ARE EXPECTED TO BE LIFTED IN THE COMING DAYS. ACTOR AND COMEDIAN ANDREW SACHS HAS DIED AFTER A FOUR-YEAR BATTLE WITH DEMENTIA. BEST KNOWN FOR PLAYING SPANISH WAITER MANUEL IN THE LEGENDARY '70S COMEDY SERIES FAWLTY TOWERS, SACHS MADE HIS NAME AS THE FOIL FOR NEUROTIC HOTEL OWNER BASIL FAWLTY. YOU KNOW THE HORSE? UH, NITWIT OR DRAGONFLY? DRAGONFLY. THERE ISN'T A HORSE CALLED NITWIT. YOU'RE THE NITWIT. WHAT IS NITWIT? IT DOESN'T MATT` LOOK, IT DOESN'T MATT` OH, I COULD SPEND THE REST OF MY LIFE HAVING THIS CONVERSATION. OH, PLEASE, PLEASE TRY TO UNDERSTAND BEFORE ONE OF US DIES. ANDREW SACHS WAS 86. RENEE'S HERE NOW WITH THE DAY'S WEATHER HIGHLIGHTS, AND WEE BIT NIPPY THIS MORNING FOR SOME. YES, A COOL START FOR SOUTHERN PARTS WITH 2.6 DEGREES FOR THE MINIMUM AT DUNEDIN AIRPORT THIS MORNING. 16 IS WHERE YOU ENDED UP. AND IT WAS A SUNNY END TO THE DAY FOR INVERCARGILL AND WESTPORT, WHO SHARED A HIGH OF 17. A HIGH OF 16 WAS FELT IN THE CAPITAL. 19 FROM MASTERTON TO NEW PLYMOUTH, KAPITI JUST SHY OF THAT MARK ON 18. TAURANGA, WHITIANGA AND WHANGAREI ALL GOT TO 24. NOW TO OUR LIVE WEATHER CAMERAS. FOR WEATHER, SEE TVNZ.CO.NZ AND I'LL BE BACK WITH YOUR WEEKEND WEATHER RIGHT AFTER SPORT. STILL TO COME ` A SECOND-HAND CAR SALE WITH A BIT OF A DIFFERENCE. ONE OF THE BEST CLASSIC CAR COLLECTIONS IN THE COUNTRY GOES UNDER THE HAMMER. AND THE GREAT CHRISTCHURCH CONE COLLECTION IS OVER, BUT JUST HOW MANY OF THEM HAVE BEEN RETURNED TO THEIR RIGHTFUL HOME? LOOKING AT OUR TOP STORIES TONIGHT ` THE TRANSPORT MINISTER IS TO REVIEW HIS DEPARTMENT'S PRACTICE OF TRACKING THE EMAILS IT SENDS TO MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC. CONCERNS ABOUT BIG BROTHER TACTICS WERE RAISED OVER A GOVERNMENT AGENCY'S ABILITY TO TRACK WHAT YOU DO WITH INFORMATION IT SENDS YOU. A FAMILY AND A COMMUNITY ARE IN MOURNING TONIGHT AFTER A POPULAR POLICE OFFICER DIED SAVING HIS DAUGHTER AND HER DOG FROM THE SWOLLEN MANAWATU RIVER. SERGEANT MIKE TOON WAS A 28-YEAR VETERAN AND WAS REMEMBERED AS A LOVING FAMILY MAN. THE CRAZE OF BOTTLE FLIPPING IS A FAIRLY POLARISING ONE ` KIDS LOVE IT, PARENTS NOT SO MUCH. ACROSS THE TASMAN, SOME SCHOOLS HAVE EVEN BANNED IT. BUT ONE SCHOOL IS NOT ONLY ENCOURAGING BOTTLE FLIPPING, IT'S USING IT TO HELP TEACH MATHS. THE ABC'S JANE MARGETTS REPORTS. SCHOOLYARD CRAZES COME AND GO. THERE ARE THOSE THAT GO UP AND DOWN, OTHERS THAT GO ROUND AND ROUND, AND THERE ARE THOSE THAT REQUIRE NO MOVING AT ALL. THE LATEST IS BOTTLE FLIPPING, AND THIS IS A FLIP-OFF. SOMETIMES IT GETS VERY VERY COMPETITIVE. I REALLY LIKE SCIENCE, AND I LIKE... PRETTY MUCH FUN THINGS, SO IT'S PRETTY MUCH BOTH OF THEM MIXED TOGETHER. THIS POPULAR PRINCIPAL HAS TURNED BOTTLE FLIPPING INTO A COMPETITIVE SPORT. HE SAYS IT BUILDS RESILIENCE. WILD CHEERING WE'RE LOOKING TO PROMOTE ACTIVITIES WHERE STUDENTS ARE OUTSIDE, NOT IN FRONT OF A SCREEN. THEY'RE LINING UP IN THEIR DROVES FOR THE PRINCIPAL'S CHALLENGE. THREE FLIPS IN A ROW GETS THEM A CANTEEN TREAT. AWESOME. GOOD JOB. BUT PARENTAL TOLERANCE IS LOW. MY MUM CAN GET SOMETIMES REALLY IRRITATED WHEN SHE'S, LIKE, RESTING, COS SHE HAD A BIG DAY. AND SOME SCHOOLS HAVE BANNED IT ALTOGETHER. IT'S NOISY. IT'S DISTRACTING. IN THE END, TEACHERS AT THIS SCHOOL DECIDED TO PUT IT TO GOOD USE. BECAUSE I SAID, 'IF YOU ARE GONNA FLIP BOTTLES, LET'S MAKE IT MATHS.' THEY'RE USING BOTTLE FLIPPING TO TEACH PROBABILITY, FRACTIONS AND PERCENTAGES. THEY WERE INTO IT. SOME OF THEM ASKED IF THEY COULD STAY IN AT LUNCHTIME TO KEEP DOING IT. SO IF THIS NEW FAD IS DRIVING YOU MAD, YOU MAY LIKE TO CHANGE YOUR APPROACH. AND IF YOU CAN'T BEAT THEM, YOU MAY AS WELL JOIN THEM. YES! CHEERING (LAUGHS) AND YOU EDGED IT. AND IF THE EDGE IS TOO EASY, TRY A LEDGE. THOUSANDS OF STRAY TRAFFIC CONES LEFT BEHIND DURING THE CHRISTCHURCH REBUILD HAVE BEEN 'RESCUED' IN A CAMPAIGN TO CLEAN UP THE STREETS. TIP-OFFS FROM THE PUBLIC HAVE LED TO THE COLLECTION OF NEARLY 4000 ROAD CONES, WHICH BELONG TO 125 COMPANIES. THERE'S CONES IN RIVERS, THERE'S CONES UP TREES. ONE THAT WAS QUITE INTERESTING WAS WE HAD TWO CONES THAT HAD BEEN STRAPPED TO A TELEGRAPH POLE. NOT QUITE SURE WHAT THAT WAS ABOUT. OWNERS ARE NOW BEING ASKED TO COLLECT THEIR LONG-LOST CONES, WHILE SOME ARE ALREADY BEING PUT TO GOOD USE ON KAIKOURA'S QUAKE-DAMAGED ROADS. A ONE-OF-A-KIND CAR AUCTION IS SET TO TAKE PLACE AT SOUTHWARD CAR MUSEUM ON THE KAPITI COAST THIS SUNDAY. 30 CLASSIC CARS ARE SET TO GO, ALL FROM ONE MAN'S COLLECTION. SEAN HOGAN SPOKE WITH THEIR OWNER, ROY SAVAGE. INTRODUCING ROY SAVAGE'S EXTENDED FAMILY. THEY SCRUB UP PRETTY WELL. IT'S LONG BEEN AGREED IT'S ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL SHAPES OF A MOTOR VEHICLE. THE RENOWNED WELLINGTON BUSINESSMAN'S LOVE OF CARS, STARTING COURTESY OF THE LOVE OF HIS LIFE. WELL, THIS IS THE FIRST CAR THAT STARTED OFF THE DISEASE OF COLLECTING. (CHUCKLES) IT'S MY WIFE'S FAULT. SHE BOUGHT IT. A DISEASE HE'S HAD FOR OVER 40 YEARS, SPREADING TO A COLLECTION OF OVER 30. BEAUTY IS IN THE EYE OF THE BEHOLDER, AND I'VE ALWASY THOUGHT THAT CERTAIN CARS APPEAL TO ME AS BEAUTIFUL OBJECTS. BUT THE TIME HAS COME TO FIND NEW BEHOLDERS. COME SUNDAY, HIS PRIZED POSSESIONS ARE SET TO BE AUCTIONED OFF. IT'LL BE SAD, BUT IT'S JUST ONE OF THESE INEVITABLE THINGS. IT'S NOT OFTEN THAT YOU WOULD SEE A COLLECTION THAT IS ALL RUNNING, ALL REGISTERED AND ALL REGULARLY MAINTAINED. ENGINE STARTS UP WITH THAT IN MIND, WE TOOK A SPECIAL MORRIS MINOR OUT FOR ONE LAST SPIN. BEFORE HIS TREASURES GO UNDER THE HAMMER. SOME OF THE PROCEEDS GOING TO THE LIFE EDUCATION TRUST. ROY HOPING SOMEONE SPECIAL WILL BE THERE ON SUNDAY TO TAKE HIS BABIES HOME. MAYBE EVEN KEEP IN TOUCH WITH IT THAT WAY, SEEING THAT IT IS BEING LOOKED AFTER. (CHUCKLES) SEAN HOGAN, 1 NEWS. TIGER WOODS IS BACK. BUT AT TIMES, IT WAS LIKE THE FORMER WORLD NUMBER ONE OH HOW GOLF HAS MISSED HIM. BUT AT TIMES, IT WAS LIKE THE FORMER WORLD NUMBER ONE HAD NEVER BEEN AWAY FROM THE GAME, CHANNELLING THE TIGER OF OLD. IT WAS A THING OF BEAUTY... IN THE BEGINNING. THEN LATER, HMM, NOT SO MUCH. WE'RE WITH THE BLACKCAPS, WHO'RE FEELING THE HEAT IN SYDNEY. AND IS THIS THE GREATEST GOAL SCORED BY A FOOTBALL KEEPER? YOU BE THE JUDGE, AFTER THE BREAK. # It feels good # In my heart, in my soul when you're here right beside me # I don't ever want this day to end # Yeah # My love # There's a song in my soul when you are around me # You make it easier to sing # No-one can stop me when I taste the feeling. # Staying on top can take an extra boost.

Now that's forward thinking. Berocca Forward - more than just energy. KIA ORA. WELCOME BACK TO SPORT. IT'S BEEN MORE THAN 15 MONTHS IN THE MAKING, BUT TIGER WOODS' RETURN TO COMPETITIVE GOLF DIDN'T DISAPPOINT, DELIVERING PLENTY OF DRAMA. HIS FIRST ROUND BACK A TALE OF TWO VERY DIFFERENT NINES. ABBY WILSON WRAPS UP THE HIGHS AND LOWS. YOU'D BE FORGIVEN FOR THINKING THIS WAS THE TIGER OF OLD. APPLAUSE AND THAT WAS EXCEPTIONAL. THERE YOU GO. GOOD TOUCH. AFTER 15 MONTHS OFF AND TWO BACK SURGERIES, HE HARDLY SKIPPED A BEAT, THE FORMER WORLD NUMBER ONE DOING EVERYTHING RIGHT. CHEERING FOUR BIRDIES IN HIS FIRST EIGHT HOLES TOPPED OFF BY A FLAWLESS TEE SHOT AT THE PAR THREE EIGHTH. CHEERING HE IS ATOP THE LEADERBOARD. DESPITE A BOGEY ON THE NINTH, WOODS STILL ROUNDED THE TURN AT A RESPECTABLE THREE UNDER. BUT JUST AS HOPE OF THE IMPROBABLE GATHERED MOMENTUM, THE EARLY SIZZLE TURNED SOUR. MM-MM. THAT'S INTO THE LONG STUFF. HIS SWING GOT SLOPPY, AN UNPLAYABLE LIE LED TO A BOGEY ON THE 11TH. A POOR APPROACH SHOT FROM THE FAIRWAY AT 16 LED TO A DOUBLE. AND THEN THERE WAS THIS WAYWARD DRIVER SHOT AT 18. THIS IS IN THE WATER. IT'S IN THE WATER. HIS SECOND DOUBLE BOGEY IN THREE HOLES. IT COULD'VE BEEN SOMETHING REALLY GOOD TODAY. I GOT OFF TO A NICE SOLID START AND MADE A FEW MISTAKES THERE. I DIDN'T PLAY THE PAR FIVES VERY WELL IN THE MIDDLE PART OF THE ROUND AND CONSEQUENTLY GOT IT GOING THE WRONG WAY. WOODS FINISHED ONE OVER PAR, NINE SHOTS BACK, BUT IT WAS ABOUT MORE THAN THE SCORE. INSTEAD, IT WAS ABOUT MOMENTS LIKE THIS PAR SAVE AT 14, WHERE THE OLD TIGER PEEKED THROUGH. CHEERING OH, THE FIRST FIST PUMP OF THE DAY. JUST SURVIVING 18 HOLES THE BIGGEST ACHIEVEMENT. BY THE TIME I HIT MY TEE SHOT ON THE SECOND HOLE, I'D ALREADY GOTTEN INTO THE FLOW OF THE ROUND, AND THAT'S SOMETHING THAT, FOR ME, WHEN I'VE TAKEN LAYOFFS AND TAKEN BREAKS, IT'S HOW QUICKLY I CAN FEEL THE ROUND. HE MAY BE SECOND TO LAST IN THE FIELD, BUT AT LEAST IT'S ONLY A FIELD OF 18. ABBY WILSON, 1 NEWS. THE KIWI GOLFERS ARE RIGHT UP THERE AS THE SECOND ROUND OF THE AUSTRALIAN PGA CHAMPIONSHIP WRAPS UP ON THE GOLD COAST. RYAN FOX IS IN THIRD, TWO SHOTS OFF THE LEADER, WHILE DANNY LEE SET UP AN EAGLE CHANCE ON THE PAR FIVE NINTH THAT WOULD HAVE SEEN HIM DRAW LEVEL WITH FOX AT THE TIME, BUT HE HAD TO SETTLE FOR A BIRDIE. HE'D PICK UP ANOTHER SHOT ON THE VERY NEXT HOLE, THOUGH. THAT'S THE WAY YOU HAVE TO PLAY IT. IT HAD A LOOK. APPLAUSE WELL DONE. BEAUTIFUL APPROACH. DESERVED THE BIRDIE. LEE IS CURRENTLY FOUR SHOTS BACK, TIED FOR FIFTH. AS THE BREAKERS PREPARE FOR TONIGHT'S GAME AGAINST ILLAWARRA WITHOUT COREY WEBSTER, POLICE HAVE CONFIRMED TO ONE NEWS THEY'RE STILL INVESTIGATING THE INCIDENT THAT SAW HIM ARRESTED THIS WEEK. THE GUARD WAS CHARGED WITH ASSAULT AT THIS TAKAPUNA BAR EARLY ON WEDNESDAY MORNING, AFTER REPORTS OF A FIGHT. POLICE ARE STILL SPEAKING WITH SEVERAL PEOPLE AND AREN'T RULING OUT FURTHER CHARGES AGAINST WEBSTER. THE BLACKCAPS ARE HOPING A LACK OF 'BAGGAGE' WILL WORK IN THEIR FAVOUR, AS THEY LOOK TOWARDS THEIR FIRST ONE DAY SERIES IN AUSTRALIA SINCE 2009. THE KIWIS HAD THEIR FIRST RUN AT THE FAMOUS SYDNEY CRICKET GROUND TODAY AHEAD OF SUNDAY'S OPENER. KIMBERLEE DOWNS IS THERE AND JOINS US NOW LIVE. WELCOME TO THE NETS AT THE FAMOUS SYDNEY CRICKET GROUND. MOST OF TODAY CAN BE SUMMED UP BY THREE WORDS - BOILING, HOT, SWELTERING. A GROUND STEEPED IN HISTORY THAT TODAY BECAME A PLAYTHING FOR SYDNEY'S YOUTH. 506 CHILDREN SETTING A WORLD RECORD FOR A COACHING CLINIC WHILE A NUMBER OF BLACK CAPS PREPARE TO MAKE THEIR OWN CHILDHOOD DREAMS COME TRUE. TO GET A CHANCE TO PLAY IN A CHAPPELL-HADLEE IN AUSTRALIA ` DOESN'T REALLY GET ANY BETTER, TO BE HONEST. YOU KNOW, YOU GROW UP WATCHING AUSTRALIA-NZ AND TO FINALLY HOPEFULLY PLAY IN ONE OF THEM IS PRETTY EXCITING. AND LATHAM'S NOT THE ONLY ONE LACKING WHITE BALL EXPERIENCE HERE IN AUSTRALIA. IN FACT NINE OF THE 14-MAN BLACK CAPS SQUAD HAVEN'T PLAYED A ONE-DAYER HERE. THERE'S NO BAGGAGE WITH THOSE PLAYERS. THEY'RE JUST EXCITED AND LOOKING FORWARD TO GETTING IN AMONGST IT. THEY'RE HAVING TO FIND NOVEL WAYS TO WORK AROUND THE WEATHER TOO, THOUGH THERE WAS NO HIDING THE EFFECTS OF TODAY'S SWELTERING SYDNEY SUN. IT'S VERY HOT, AS YOU CAN SEE FROM MY FACE. ADAPTING IS KEY, AND ONE MAN WHO KNOWS HOW IS THE BLACK CAPS' BATTING COACH, WHO WAS PART OF THE LAST NZ SIDE TO WIN A ONE-DAYER AT SYDNEY ALL THE WAY BACK IN 2002. IT'S JUST REALLY ABOUT EXPRESSING THEMSELVES AND SHOWING HOW SKILFUL THEY ARE AND JUST ENJOYING THE MOMENT. ON THE OTHER SIDE, THE MOMENT'S TURNING UGLY FOR THE AUSTRALIANS AFTER ALL-ROUNDER GLENN MAXWELL PUBLICALLY CRITICISED HIS STATE CAPTAIN AND NATIONAL TEAMMATE MATTHEW WADE YESTERDAY. WE'RE OBVIOUSLY DISAPPOINTED, BUT WE WORK THROUGH THOSE ISSUES AND YEAH. DARREN LEHMANN FAR FROM IMPRESSED, WITH PRECIOUS LITTLE TIME FOR TEAM IN-FIGHTING TO BE RESOLVED. THE AUSSIES ARE WRAPPING UP THEIR SESSION BEHIND ME. ONE MAN LOOKING FORWARD TO TAKING THEM ON IS MITCHELL. AS A SPINNER, DO YOU THINK THESE GUYS ARE GOING TO TARGET YOU? YEAH, I THINK SO. I THINK IT COULD PLAY INTO OUR FAVOURL. WE'RE LOOKING LIKELY TO SEE FERGUSON. WHAT PROPOSITION IS HE IN THE NETS? FAST. HE CAN BOWL WHEEL.S I THINK IT'S GOOD TO HAVE THAT BIG PACE ATTACK UNDER OUR SLEEVE. GOOD TO HAVE A SURPRISE FOR THE AUSTRALIANS? YEAH. WE HAVE A PRETTY STRONG ATTACK. THIS AUSSIE SIDE HAVE HAD POOR FORM LATELY. RIPE FOR THE PICKING OR SOME BACKLASH FROM THEM? THEY'RE ALWAYS TOUGH TO BEAT AT HOME. THEY HAVE GOOD PLAYERS BACK. THEY BOWL AT A FAST PACE. THEY'RE TOUGH TO BEAT IN FRONT OF 40,000 FANS. THANK YOU, MITCHELL. FUN FACT ` HE HAS NEVER BEEN DISMISSED BY AUSTRALIA IN A ONE-DAYER. HE WAS UNBEATEN IN CHAPPELL-HADLEE. THANKS. KIM DOWNS LIVE FROM SYDNEY. THE NZ WOMEN'S SEVENS TEAM HAS MADE A GREAT START TO THE NEW INTERNATIONAL SEASON. THE BLACK FERNS HAVE WON THEIR FIRST THREE POOL MATCHES AT THE OPENING LEG IN DUBAI, WITH MICHAELA BLYDE GETTING A HAT-TRICK IN THE 31-NIL ROMP AGAINST FRANCE. HANDS TO BLYDE, MICHAELA BLYDE. THEY GAVE HER A SMIDGEN OF ROOM, AND SHE MADE FRANCE PAY. PUMPED, TO BE HONEST. ALL THE GIRLS ARE REALLY EXCITED FOR TOMORROW. WE'VE HAD A AWESOME DAY. WE'VE PLAYED AWESOME. WE'VE MADE SURE THAT WE STUCK TO OUR GAME PLAN FOR EVERY GAME, AND IT WORKED, WHICH IS A GOOD THING, SO WE'RE REALLY EXCITED FOR TOMORROW. BUT THE OLYMPIC SILVER MEDALLISTS ENDED THE FIRST DAY WITH THREE PLAYERS ON THE INJURED LIST, BUT NOT PLAYMAKER KELLY BRAZIER, WHO WAS CLOBBERED DURING THE 19-10 WIN OVER FIJI. EDDIE JONES IS CALLING ON HIS LATEST KIWI RECRUIT TO HELP ENGLAND CONTINUE ITS RUGBY DOMINATION OVER AUSTRALIA THIS WEEKEND. FORMER AUCKLAND SCHOOLBOY RUGBY STAR, FIJIAN-BORN NATHAN HUGHES, WILL GET HIS FIRST START FOR ENGLAND, REPLACING INJURED VICE CAPTAIN BILLY VUNIPOLA AT NUMBER EIGHT. BIG BOOTS AND BIG JERSEY. BILLY'S A BIG MAN. LOOK, NATHAN'S JUST GOTTA PLAY HIS OWN GAME, YOU KNOW. IT'S A BIG TEST FOR HIM ` FIRST TIME TO START FOR ENGLAND. HUGHES WILL BE PUSHING A PACK HELL BENT ON EMBARRASSING THE WALLABIES AT TWICKENHAM ON SUNDAY. FINALLY, IT'S BEING HAILED AS ONE OF THE GREAT GOALKEEPER'S GOALS, PERHAPS THE BEST EVER, CERTAINLY THE FINEST IN SOUTH AFRICA. DEEP INTO ADDED TIME, BAROKA'S OSCARINE MASULUKE PRESSED FORWARD, SEEKING THE EQUALISER AGAINST THE ORLANDO PIRATES IN THE PREMIER LEAGUE. UNBELIEVABLE! YOU'VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THAT IN YOUR LIFE! THE BAROKA GOALIE'S MATCH SAVER IS CERTAINLY WORTH ANOTHER LOOK, BUT THE BEST EVER? WHAT ABOUT TOLO BARCHELLO'S BICYCLE KICK IN SPAIN, IN THE 90TH MINUTE, THREE YEARS AGO, WHICH ALSO SECURED A DRAW? MUCH OF A MUCHNESS. BAROKA GOALIE'S DANCE MOVES MAKE THAT THE BEST. THE CELEBRATION AND THE GOAL ` WHOLE PACKAGE. WE'VE GOT A COUPLE OF BIG ANNOUNCEMENTS TONIGHT. COMING UP ` IF "SURFER'S" OR "SWIMMER'S EAR" IS STOPPING YOU GETTING IN THE WATER, WE HAVE A SOLUTION. POP IT IN LIKE THAT. PLUS ` THIS MIGHT MAKE POUNDING THE PAVEMENT A LITTLE MORE ENTICING. I BELIEVE THAT BEER IS EQUAL TO WATER IN TERMS OF HYDRATION AFTER RUNNING. I'M ABOUT TO INTERVIEW A COMPOSER ` SOMEONE WHO PLAYS AT LEAST SIX DIFFERENT INSTRUMENTS, HAS WRITTEN HUNDREDS OF PIECES OF ORIGINAL MUSIC AND WHO'S ONLY 33 YEARS OLD. FIND OUT HOW SHE DOES IT AT SEVEN. A WEAK FRONT CAN BE SEEN SNAKING ITS WAY NORTH OVER CENTRAL NZ. A THICK CLOUD SHEET HAS BEEN PACKED IN BEHIND THE FRONT OVER THE EAST OF THE SOUTH ISLAND. AND ANOTHER MORE FEEBLE-LOOKING FRONT IS CROSSING THE VERY TOP OF THE COUNTRY, AND LUMPY SHOWER CLOUD IS VISIBLE IN THE NORTHEAST. BUT A NARROW RIDGE IS CLEARING SKIES OVER THE SOUTH ISLAND FROM THE WEST. LOOKING UPSTREAM, AND ANOTHER TROUGH, WITH EMBEDDED FRONTS, IS APPROACHING FROM EAST OF TASMANIA. SO THOSE WEAK FRONTS MOVE OFF THE NORTH ISLAND EARLY SATURDAY MORNING. AND A NARROW RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE IS MOVING NORTHEAST ACROSS CENTRAL AND NORTHERN PARTS OF AOTEAROA, BRINGING A MOSTLY SETTLED SATURDAY. HOWEVER, ANOTHER FRONT SPREADS ON TO THE SOUTH FROM LATE SATURDAY MORNING, REACHING SOUTH CANTERBURY IN THE EVENING. FOR WEATHER, SEE TVNZ.CO.NZ A WEAK TROUGH OVER CENTRAL NZ MOVES AWAY ON SUNDAY, WITH A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE SETTLING OVER THE COUNTRY. CLOUDY PERIODS FOR MOST WITH ISOLATED SHOWERS MAINLY DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING FOR NORTH ISLAND REGIONS. ANOTHER TROUGH APPROACHES THE COUNTRY FROM THE TASMAN SEA ON MONDAY, DELIVERING PATCHY MORNING DRIZZLE TO THE NORTH AND SCATTERED SHOWERS AFTER LUNCH, THEN MOVES ON TO THE SOUTH ISLAND ON TUESDAY AND BECOMES SLOW-MOVING OVER CENTRAL NZ ON WEDNESDAY. SO SOME SUNSHINE PROMISED AS WE EASE INTO WEEKEND MODE. TAKE CARE AND HAVE A GOOD ONE. First weekend of summer. Great expectations. Have a good weekend.
