TONIGHT, TWO VERY DIFFERENT BATTLES BEING FOUGHT BY DONALD TRUMP. HE'S LASHED OUT AT A JUDGE IN HAWAII FOR SCUPPERING HIS REVISED TRAVEL BAN, AND RAPPER SNOOP DOGG IS IN HIS SIGHTS. CONVICTED MURDER AND PAEDOPHILE PHILLIP SMITH HAS A WIN OVER HIS WIG IN COURT. AND IS GOING GLUTEN-FREE NOT ALL IT'S CRACKED UP TO BE? A NUTRITIONIST HAS A WARNING. TRUMP STRUCK DOWN YET AGAIN AND GROWING INCREASINGLY ANGRY. STRUCK DOWN YET AGAIN AND GROWING INCREASINGLY ANGRY. DONALD TRUMP'S WATERED DOWN TRAVEL BAN WAS JUST HOURS AWAY FROM TAKING EFFECT WHEN A JUDGE IN HAWAII HALTED IT. IT'S THE PRESIDENT'S SECOND ATTEMPT AT THE EXECUTIVE ORDER, AND HE'S THREATENING ONCE AGAIN TO TAKE IT TO A HIGHER COURT. THE ABC'S CONNOR DUFFY REPORTS. # YOU'LL BE STARING DOWN THE BARREL OF MY GUN. # AS THE BAND WAS WARMING UP THE CROWD IN NASHVILLE, NEWS WAS BREAKING THAT DONALD TRUMP'S TRAVEL BAN HAD AGAIN BEEN BLOCKED. THE PRESIDENT AND HIS FAITHFUL WERE FURIOUS. THE BEST WAY TO KEEP FOREIGN TERRORISTS FROM ATTACKING OUR COUNTRY IS TO STOP THEM FROM ENTERING OUR COUNTRY IN THE FIRST PLACE. THE ORDER TO BAN TRAVELLERS FROM SIX MUSLIM-MAJORITY COUNTRIES FOR THREE MONTHS AND REFUGEES FOR FOUR WAS SUPPOSED TO BE LEGALLY BULLET-PROOF. CITING QUESTIONABLE EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT CLAIMS OF A THREAT TO NATIONAL SECURITY, A HAWAIIAN JUDGE BLOCKED IT. WE WILL NOT TOLERATE DISCRIMINATION ON THE BASIS OF NATIONAL ORIGIN OR RELIGION. THE BAN'S ONLY TEMPORARY, AND AFTER HINTING THE JUDGE'S DECISION WAS POLITICAL, PRESIDENT TRUMP VOWED TO APPEAL. WE'RE GOING TO TAKE OUR CASE AS FAR AS IT NEEDS TO GO, INCLUDING ALL THE WAY UP TO THE SUPREME COURT. IN WASHINGTON, PRESIDENT TRUMP CONTINUES TO FACE RESISTANCE IN CONGRESS, EVEN FROM HIS OWN SIDE OF POLITICS. LEADING REPUBLICANS ARE DEMANDING AN INVESTIGATION INTO RUSSIAN MEDDLING IN THE ELECTION AND CASTING DOUBT ON THE PRESIDENT'S CLAIMS BARACK OBAMA SOUGHT TO WIRE TAP TRUMP TOWER. I DON'T THINK THERE WAS AN ACTUAL TAP OF TRUMP TOWER. ANOTHER ACT OF ESPIONAGE IS CLOSER TO BEING SUBSTANTIATED. FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER, RUSSIAN SPIES HAVE BEEN CHARGED OVER A MASSIVE HACK OF HALF A BILLION YAHOO EMAILS. FSB OFFICERS PROTECTED, DIRECTED, FACILITATED AND PAID CRIMINAL HACKERS TO COLLECT INFORMATION THROUGH COMPUTER INTRUSIONS IN THE UNITED STATES AND ELSEWHERE. QUESTIONS REMAIN UNANSWERED ABOUT WHETHER RUSSIAN CYBER SPIES ALSO HACKED LAST YEAR'S ELECTION. BALDING MURDERER AND PAEDOPHILE PHILLIP SMITH IS ONE STEP CLOSER TO BEING REUNITED WITH HIS TOUPEE AFTER DEFEATING THE DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS IN COURT. SMITH WORE HIS WIG WHEN HE ESCAPED TO BRAZIL IN 2014 AND WAS STRIPPED OF IT AFTER BEING RETURNED TO NEW ZEALAND. A JUDGE FOUND THAT DECISION IGNORED SMITH'S RIGHT TO FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION. BUT HE SAYS THERE COULD BE VALID OPERATIONAL REASONS FOR BANNING THE HAIRPIECE IN PRISON AND HAS GIVEN CORRECTIONS TWO WEEKS TO DECIDE IF IT WANTS TO PURSUE THE MATTER. TAXI DRIVERS AREN'T IMPRESSED WITH THE BIGGEST SHAKE-UP TO THE INDUSTRY IN A CENTURY. NEW TECH ADVANCES AND SERVICES LIKE UBER HAVE PROMPTED LAW CHANGES THAT WILL MAKE IT CHEAPER AND FASTER FOR DRIVERS TO GET THE QUALIFICATIONS NEEDED TO CARRY PASSENGERS. POLITICAL REPORTER KATIE BRADFORD HAS MORE. TAXI DRIVERS FEAR THE GOVERNMENT'S BEEN TAKEN FOR A RIDE BY NEW SERVICES LIKE UBER. WE ALSO WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT SAFETY IS PARAMOUNT AND WE DON'T TAKE ANYTHING AWAY JUST TO MAKE IT SLIGHTLY CHEAPER FOR SOMEBODY TO COME INTO THE INDUSTRY. BUT CABBIES SAY THAT'S WHAT A MAJOR OVERHAUL OF SMALL PASSENGER SERVICES LOOKS LIKE. I THINK WE'RE BALANCING APPROPRIATELY SAFETY WITH INNOVATION. ONE BIG ISSUE HAS BEEN ENSURING UBER DRIVERS, LIKE TAXI DRIVERS, HAVE A PASSENGER ENDORSEMENT ON THEIR LICENCE. THE ENDORSEMENT PROCESS REQUIRES CRIMINAL AND MEDICAL CHECKS. UBER HAS BEEN VERY CLEAR, IN THIS PROCESS, THAT IF THE COST CAME DOWN, IF THE TIME FRAME CAME DOWN, THAT THEY WOULD COMPLY. SO THE GOVERNMENT'S AGREED TO MAKE IT CHEAPER, EASIER AND FASTER FOR DRIVERS TO GET THAT ENDORSEMENT. IT WAS ACTUALLY AROUND 55 TO 60 DAYS NOT SO LONG AGO. IT'S NOW FIVE DAYS. AND TESTS FOR ENGLISH LANGUAGE AND AREA KNOWLEDGE WILL BE GONE. GPS TELLS US WHERE WE'RE GOING. WE DON'T NEED IT. ALSO, UBER RIDES WON'T HAVE TO HAVE SECURITY CAMERAS. THE REASON BEING VERY CLEAR ` BECAUSE THEY HAVE GOT OTHER WAYS OF MAKING PASSENGERS SAFE, SUCH AS THE APP THAT TRACKS WHO THE DRIVER IS. SINCE WE PUT THE CAMERAS IN THE CARS IN 2010, THERE'S BEEN NO DEATHS OF TAXI DRIVERS. UBER SAYS IT WANTS TO TAKE A CLOSER LOOK AT THE FINE POINTS OF THE LEGISLATION BEFORE FORCING ITS DRIVERS TO GET THOSE PASSENGER ENDORSEMENTS, EVEN THOUGH THAT'S WHAT THE LAW DEMANDS NOW. THE TRANSPORT MINISTER'S CONFIDENT UBER WILL COMPLY. IF THEY DON'T, I THINK THEY'LL BE REALLY TAKING THE MICKEY OF NZ'S LAW. OUR BIG CONCERN IS IN THE FUTURE, WHEN THESE LAWS ARE PUT INTO PLACE, ARE THEY GONNA BE POLICED? THE GOVERNMENT HOPES TO HAVE THE NEW LAWS IN PLACE BY THE MIDDLE OF THE YEAR. KATIE BRADFORD, 1 NEWS. RURAL NZ IS CRYING OUT FOR HELP TO RECRUIT MUCH NEEDED DOCTORS AND NURSES. FRONT-LINE HEALTH PROFESSIONALS SAY THEY ARE STRUGGLING TO GET VITAL MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES INTO RURAL AREAS. THEY WANT TO SEE AN INDEPENDENT ADVISORY BODY SET UP TO REPRESENT RURAL NZERS, PLUS BETTER RECRUITMENT AND RETENTION OF HEALTH WORKERS. IF YOU LOOK AT 600,000 PEOPLE BEING EQUIVALENT TO OUR SECOND-LARGEST CITY, AT TIMES IT DOESN'T FEEL LIKE WE GET ANYWHERE NEAR THAT LEVEL OF RESOURCE ALLOCATION OR FOCUS. THE GOVERNMENT SAYS IT INJECTED $600,000 INTO RURAL MENTAL HEALTH LAST YEAR. AUCKLAND MAYOR PHIL GOFF IS BEGINNING A MAJOR COST-CUTTING REVIEW OF THE CITY COUNCIL. THE REVIEW WILL FOCUS ON WATER SERVICES, DOMESTIC WASTE, COMMUNICATIONS AND INTERNATIONAL ENGAGEMENT, WITH FURTHER AREAS LOOKED AT OVER THE NEXT THREE YEARS. DURING HIS MAYORAL CAMPAIGN, MR GOFF WAS CRITICAL OF COUNCIL SPENDING AND SAID HE WOULD LOOK AT MERGING SERVICES. THE COUNCIL IS REQUIRED TO REVIEW THEIR COST EFFECTIVENESS EVERY SIX YEARS. THE KIWI DOLLAR'S HAD A SEE-SAW OF A DAY, SURGING UP AFTER THE NEWS THE US FEDERAL RESERVE RAISED ITS BENCHMARK INTEREST RATE FOR JUST THE THIRD TIME IN A DECADE. BUT IT SOON STEADIED FOLLOWING NEW FIGURES SHOWING THE COUNTRY'S ECONOMY IS SLOWING DOWN. CORIN DANN EXPLAINS. AT THIS LOWER HUTT FIRE ENGINE FACTORY, BUSINESS IS TRUCKING ALONG NICELY. WE'VE PROBABLY GOT ABOUT TWO YEARS WORK AHEAD OF US, AND WE ARE LOOKING TO DOUBLE THAT CAPACITY. ALL HELPING THE ECONOMY MAINTAIN GROWTH LAST YEAR AT A RESPECTABLE 3.1%. BOOMING TOURISM IS THE STAR PERFORMER, ALTHOUGH A SHORTAGE OF HOTEL BEDS IS A CONSTRAINT. WE REALLY STRUGGLE TO FIND ACCOMMODATION FOR THOSE GROUPS WITH THAT QUICK TURNAROUND TIME. IT ESSENTIALLY MEANS WE HAVE HAD TO TURN AWAY A LOT OF BUSINESS. FOR US, IT'S A BIG ISSUE, PARTICULARLY IN AUCKLAND AND QUEENSTOWN. AND THERE ARE SIGNS THE ECONOMY'S FACING CONSTRAINTS ELSEWHERE. GROWTH IN THE LAST QUARTER OF 2016 ACTUALLY SLOWED TO JUST 0.4%. REALLY, THE FOURTH QUARTER RESULT WAS A DAIRY STORY. WE HAD A WET WINTER, AND THAT LED TO SOFT DAIRY PRODUCTION, AND THAT'S FLOWED THROUGH INTO SOFT DAIRY PROCESSING PERFORMANCE. BUT WE DON'T EXPECT THAT TO CONTINUE. BUT LABOUR SAYS THERE'S REASON TO BE WORRIED. THESE FIGURES SHOW A 4% DROP IN EXPORTS IN THE QUARTER. THAT'S GOT TO CONCERN EVERYONE. FOR EXPORTERS, A MAJOR HEADWIND REMAINS THE HIGH KIWI DOLLAR, WHICH SPIKED OVER 70 U.S. CENTS TODAY AFTER THE US FEDERAL RESERVE HIKED ITS BENCHMARK INTEREST RATE AGAIN BUT SIGNALLED FURTHER INTEREST RATE HIKES WOULD BE VERY GRADUAL. I THINK WE COULD DROP IT ANOTHER 10%, AND THAT WOULD BE FANTASTIC. AND I COULD ASSURE YOU, WE WOULD FIND IT VERY EASY TO EXPAND. THE LIKELY TREND, DEPENDING ON HOW THE U.S. BUDGET COMES TOGETHER, IS THAT OUR DOLLAR WILL SOFTEN A LITTLE BIT AS THE U.S. DOLLAR STRENGTHENS. BUT THE HIKE IN U.S. RATES IS FURTHER CONFIRMATION THE ERA OF ULTRA-LOW GLOBAL INTEREST RATES IS COMING TO AN END. HOWEVER, ECONOMISTS SAY DON'T EXPECT ANY INCREASE IN OUR OFFICIAL CASH RATE WHEN THE RESERVE BANK MEETS NEXT WEEK. CORIN DANN, 1 NEWS. SEXUAL VIOLENCE SERVICES WON'T HAVE TO HAND OVER THEIR CLIENTS' PERSONAL DETAILS AFTER A BACK-DOWN FROM THE GOVERNMENT. CASE WORKERS HAD MARCHED ON PARLIAMENT, CLAIMING MANY OF THEIR CLIENTS SAID THEY'D STOP USING THE SERVICES IF THEIR INFORMATION WAS PASSED ON. THE REPRIEVE IS ONLY FOR A YEAR AND DOESN'T EXTEND TO OTHER ORGANISATIONS WITH VULNERABLE CLIENTS. 'POPULISM HAS BEEN REJECTED.' THAT'S WHAT THE NEWLY RE-ELECTED DUTCH PRIME MINISTER HAS SAID OF HIS VICTORY IN TODAY'S ELECTIONS. WITH NEARLY ALL THE VOTES COUNTED, MARK RUTTE'S CENTRE-RIGHT PARTY EASILY BEAT THE ANTI-IMMIGRATION FREEDOM PARTY. AND THE NATIONALISTS' DEFEAT IS BEING SEEN AS AN INDICATOR OF CRUCIAL EUROZONE ELECTIONS TO COME. THE ABC'S STEVE CANNAN REPORTS. HE HAILED IT AS A VOTE FOR STABILITY IN THE NETHERLANDS. (CHEERING) AND ALSO NOTED THE ELECTION'S WIDER SIGNIFICANCE. (SPEAKS DUTCH) FOLLOWING BREXIT AND THE US ELECTIONS, PRIME MINISTER MARK RUTTE SAID HIS COUNTRY HAD CALLED A HALT TO THE WRONG TYPE OF POPULISM. IN THE PROCESS, THE PRIME MINISTER DID LOSE VOTES. EARLY RESULTS SHOW THE PARTY WILL TAKE 32 SEATS IN THE 150-MEMBER LOWER HOUSE ` DOWN FROM THE 41 THEY HAD HELD. THE FAR-RIGHT ANTI-ISLAM FREEDOM PARTY, LED BY GEERT WILDERS, IS NOW IN A THREE-WAY BATTLE FOR SECOND PLACE. (SPEAKS DUTCH) TRANSLATOR: YOU WON'T BE RID OF ME JUST YET. WE'LL HAVE EVEN MORE PEOPLE ` I HOPE 19, 20 PEOPLE ` TO FORM A STRONG OPPOSITION AGAINST THE CABINET. MAKE IT DIFFICULT FOR THEM EVERY DAY. MR WILDERS CAMPAIGNED ON A NATIONALIST PLATFORM, TELLING VOTERS HE WOULD RESTORE DUTCH VALUES. AFTER CASTING HIS VOTE IN THE HAGUE, GEERT WILDERS DECLARED THAT NO MATTER THE OUTCOME, THE GENIE WAS NOW OUT OF THE BOTTLE AND THAT HIS PATRIOTIC REVOLUTION WOULD OCCUR. HE WANT TO BAN ALL MUSLIMS, ALL MOSQUES. IT'S NOT THE WAY TO DO IT. HE JUST SAYS WHATEVER COMES ON TOP OF HIS HEAD, AND HE'S A POPULIST, AND I DON'T WANT POPULISTS TO RUN THE COUNTRY. EUROPEAN LEADERS SAY THE RESULT IS A STRONG MESSAGE FOR THE EU. (SPEAKS GERMAN) TRANSLATOR: IT SHOWS THAT A COUNTRY LIKE THE NETHERLANDS IS ONE OF THE CORE EUROPEAN COUNTRIES AND DOESN'T LET ITSELF BE INCITED. EXIT POLLS SHOW THAT MORE THAN 80% OF ELIGIBLE DUTCH VOTERS CAST A BALLOT IN THE ELECTION ` THE HIGHEST RATE IN 30 YEARS. IT'S NOW A FREQUENTLY-SEEN OPTION AT CAFES AND RESTAURANTS. GLUTEN-FREE IS SOMETHING THAT'S STUCK AROUND. BUT WITH JUST 1% OF THE POPULATION ESTIMATED TO HAVE A SEVERE INTOLERANCE TO GLUTEN, EXPERTS ARE WARNING IT MAY NOT BE WORTH GIVING UP THE COMFORT FOODS. KIM SAVAGE BREAKS IT DOWN. (GARBLED FAST-FORWARDED TALKING) THERE'S NO ESCAPING IT ` CONFLICTING ADVICE ON WHAT'S GOOD FOR YOU AND WHAT'S NOT. I HAVE REALLY INTELLIGENT, SENSIBLE PEOPLE COME TO SEE ME THAT SAY, 'I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO EAT FOR BREAKFAST ANY MORE.' THE SEARCH FOR ANSWERS HAS RESULTED IN DIETS LIKE GLUTEN-FREE GOING MAINSTREAM. I THINK GLUTEN FREE WAS PROBABLY CONSIDERED A FAD ABOUT 15 YEARS AGO. BUT 15 YEARS LATER, IT'S STILL HERE, SO I THINK THE FAD HAS BECOME A TREND; THE TREND HAS BECOME A LIFESTYLE. IT MEANS NO MORE WHEAT, RYE, BARLEY AND OATS. THE POPULARITY OF THE DIET'S SEEN MORE GLUTEN-FREE PRODUCTS HIT THE SHELVES. WE'VE SEEN THE NUTRITIONAL INTEGRITY OF THE PRODUCTS INCREASE EXPONENTIALLY, SO NOW YOU CAN GET PASTA MADE OUT OF MUNG BEANS OR BREAD MADE WITH CASSAVA FLOUR. JUST LAST WEEK, FOOD GIANT NESTLE OPENED A GLUTEN-FREE PLANT AT ITS AUCKLAND FACTORY. BUT HEALTH EXPERTS ARE SEEING THE NEGATIVE EFFECTS OF PEOPLE CUTTING OUT BREADS AND CEREALS, HIGH IN IRON AND FIBRE. SO WE'LL HAVE PEOPLE COMING IN, BECOMING GLUTEN FREE AND THEN BECOMING MORE CONSTIPATED BECAUSE THEIR FIBRE INTAKE HAS GONE RIGHT DOWN, AND SO WE HAVE TO TEACH THEM ABOUT TRYING TO GET ENOUGH FIBRE IN THEIR DIET. EATING GLUTEN-FREE IS A CHOICE FOR SOME BUT A NECESSITY FOR OTHERS. IT'S THOUGHT UP TO ONE IN 70 NZERS HAS THE AUTO-IMMUNE DISORDER COELIAC DISEASE. 80% OF THOSE AREN'T YET DIAGNOSED OR DON'T KNOW THEY HAVE THE DISEASE. COELIACS MUST STEER WELL CLEAR OF GLUTEN. IT CAN DAMAGE THEIR INTESTINES. IT WOULD BE REALLY GOOD IF THOSE PEOPLE GOT TESTED BEFORE THEY WENT ON THE GLUTEN-FREE JOURNEY, BECAUSE THEY COULD WELL HAVE COELIAC DISEASE. SARAH ELLIOTT SAYS IF PEOPLE CAN EAT GLUTEN, THEY SHOULD. BUT THERE'S NO 'ONE SIZE FITS ALL'. THERE ARE MULTIPLE WAYS TO HAVE A HEALTHY DIET, AND YOU JUST HAVE TO FIND THE ONE THAT WORKS FOR YOU. AS LONG AS THEY'RE GETTING THE RIGHT ADVICE. KIM SAVAGE, 1 NEWS. JUST AHEAD, THE NEW INITIATIVE AIMED AT LOWERING THE NUMBER OF MAORI IN JAIL WHO REOFFEND ON THE OUTSIDE. A MAIDEN TEST TONNE FOR A BLACK CAP. BUT IS IT ENOUGH FOR REDEMPTION IN THE SECOND TEST WITH SOUTH AFRICA? MAORI OFFENDERS FRESH OUT OF JAIL COULD BE HOUSED ON KINGITANGA LAND AS PART OF A NEW INITIATIVE TO LOWER REOFFENDING RATES. WITH THE HIGHEST REOFFENDING STATS OF ANY OTHER ETHNIC GROUP, CORRECTIONS AND THE KINGITANGA MOVEMENT HAVE COME UP WITH A PLAN TO TACKLE THE ISSUE. YVONNE TAHANA HAS THE DETAILS. TAINUI'S REGATTA ` AN ANNUAL SALUTE TO KINGITANGA TRADITIONS. AND UNDER A NEW ACCORD BETWEEN THE KINGITANGA AND CORRECTIONS, THESE WAKA COULD SOON BE CARVED BY PRISONERS. WE'RE IN THIS TOGETHER. WE'RE GOING TO WORK TOGETHER, PUT OUR TEAMS TOGETHER, OUR THINKING TOGETHER AND THEN COME UP WITH THESE TYPES OF IDEAS. THEY DESERVE A FUTURE, AND UNLESS WE DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT, THEY WON'T HAVE A FUTURE. KING TUHEITIA AND CORRECTIONS MINISTER LOUISE UPSTON SIGNING UP TO HELP OFFENDERS CHANGE THEIR LIVES. IT'S LIKE WE'RE GETTING MARRIED. (LAUGHTER) THE PARTNERSHIP DOESN'T INVOLVE ANY EXTRA COST BUT COULD RESULT IN TAINUI BRINGING A SIGNIFICANT DOWRY. THE IWI MAY PROVIDE LAND WHERE NEWLY RELEASED FEMALE OFFENDERS WOULD LIVE WITH THEIR FAMILIES IN CORRECTIONS HOUSING. THIS IS A PARTNERSHIP, AND PARTNERS BRING TO THE TABLE WHAT THEY CAN. THE KINGITANGA HAS A VERY SIGNIFICANT REACH, AND IT'S PREPARED TO MATCH THEIR RESOURCES WITH OURS TO MAKE A REAL DIFFERENCE. IT'S A DIFFERENCE THAT'S NEEDED. MAORI MEN MAKE UP 51% OF THE PRISON MUSTER, BUT THAT RISES TO 58% FOR MAORI WOMEN. AND WHEN THEY LEAVE, MAORI PRISONERS HAVE A 33% REOFFENDING RATE ` THAT'S 8% HIGHER THAN ANY OTHER ETHNIC GROUP. SPRINGHILL IN MEREMERE WILL BE THE INITIAL FOCUS OF THE INITIATIVE. IT'S HOPED THE PLAN WILL EVENTUALLY EXTEND TO ALL FIVE PRISONS IN THE TRIBAL REGION AND, IF SUCCESSFUL, BE EXPANDED ACROSS THE COUNTRY. YVONNE TAHANA, 1 NEWS. 'HARRY POTTER' STAR EMMA WATSON IS PLANNING TO TAKE LEGAL ACTION AFTER DOZENS OF HER PRIVATE PHOTOS WERE STOLEN AND POSTED ONLINE. THE ACTOR'S LAWYERS SAY THE PICTURES DON'T SHOW HER NAKED BUT WERE TAKEN AS SHE WAS TRYING ON DIFFERENT OUTFITS WITH A STYLIST. IT COMES A WEEK AFTER WATSON SPARKED FIERCE DEBATE OVER WHETHER SHE WAS ANTI-FEMINIST FOR APPEARING WITH A SKIMPY TOP ON A MAGAZINE COVER. THE DEATH TOLL FROM A LANDSLIDE AT ETHIOPIA'S LARGEST RUBBISH DUMP HAS RISEN TO 113. UP TO 150 PEOPLE ARE BELIEVED TO HAVE BEEN AT THE SITE WHEN PART OF THE HILLSIDE COLLAPSED, BURYING A SLUM THAT HAD BEEN BUILT ON THE LANDFILL. HUNDREDS OF RESIDENTS HAVE BEEN MOVED FROM THE SITE. THE COUNTRY IS NOW OBSERVING THREE DAYS OF MOURNING. THE DEPARTMENT OF CONSERVATION IS RAMPING UP ITS PROTECTION OF KAKARIKI TO SAVE THEM FROM EXTINCTION. THE REMAINING 200 ORANGE-FRONTED PARAKEETS ARE ONLY FOUND IN THREE SOUTH ISLAND VALLEYS, AND THEY'RE FALLING PREY TO PESTS AND INBREEDING. BLAIR NORTON HAS THE RENEWED EFFORTS TO KEEP THE COLOURFUL BIRDS ALIVE. PRECIOUS CARGO BEING SENT ON A MISSION TO HELP SAVE A SPECIES. ORANGE-FRONTED PARAKEET, OR KAKARIKI, ARE AS ENDANGERED AS MAUI DOLPHIN AND KAKAPO. THERE'S ONLY ABOUT 200 LEFT. WE ARE STRUGGLING TO FIND VIABLE POPULATIONS OF THESE BIRDS. SO AT THE MOMENT, IF YOU LIKE, WE'RE IN INTENSIVE CARE. AND THAT INVOLVES HELP ON SEVERAL FRONTS, ADDING 200KM OF TRAPS IN THE THREE CANTERBURY VALLEYS THAT ARE THEIR ONLY NATURAL HABITAT. THAT LOOKS AWESOME. AND LIKE TODAY, RELEASING BIRDS THAT HAVE BEEN BRED IN CAPTIVITY TO BOOST NUMBERS AND HELP FIND WILD POPULATIONS. THIS VALLEY USED TO HAVE A REASONABLE POPULATION OF ORANGE-FRONTED PARAKEETS. IN THIS PAST SEASON, WE'VE ONLY HAD ONE SIGHTING. THEY'RE ALSO HOPING THE CAPTIVE BIRDS WILL BREED WITH PARAKEETS HERE IN THE HAWDON VALLEY AND TACKLE THE FERTILITY AND DISEASE PROBLEMS THAT CAN COME FROM INBREEDING. WE'RE APPROACHING THAT PROBLEM WITH ORANGE-FRONTED PARAKEETS AS WELL, AND SO WE WANNA CATCH IT BEFORE IT BECOMES EVEN WORSE. AFTER A WARM WELCOME FROM ONE OF THE LOCALS, THERE'LL BE A COUPLE OF SETTLING-IN DAYS IN A PURPOSE-BUILT AVIARY. THE KAIAPOI MEN'S GROUP WHICH PROVIDED IT ONLY TOO HAPPY TO HELP. IT WAS A GOOD PROJECT FOR US TO SINK OUR TEETH INTO. SO WE TOOK IT ON BOARD, AND THE GUYS LOVE IT. THE GROUP ALSO TURNING THEIR HAND TO MAKING SOME WOODEN EGGS THAT'LL BE USED AS PLACEBOS WHEN THE RANGERS GATHER THE REAL THING FOR HATCHING IN INCUBATORS. SO STARTS A JOURNEY TO STOP EXTINCTION. IN A FEW DAYS, STAGE TWO ` WHEN THE AVIARY DOORS OPEN AND THE REAL WORK FOR THESE KAKARIKI BEGINS. BLAIR NORTON, 1 NEWS. AN ATTEMPT TO PERFORM THE DEEPEST FREE-DIVE EVER RECORDED HERE HAS FALLEN WELL SHORT AT THE NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS ON LAKE TAUPO. DAVE MULLINS WAS ATTEMPTING TO REACH A DEPTH OF 105M IN THE CONSTANT WEIGHT DISCIPLINE. HAVING CAREFULLY PLANNED HIS FOOD INTAKE, A TWO-HOUR TECHNICAL DELAY MEANT HE WAS LOW ON ENERGY AND SUSCEPTIBLE TO THE COLD WATER, FORCING HIM TO PULL OUT AT JUST 42M. I WAS ACTUALLY OK ON THE DIVE. BUT I'D JUST BEEN REALLY, REALLY COLD BEFOREHAND, SHIVERING BEFORE I STARTED. AND IT WAS TOO RISKY. YOU DO THE DIVE, BUT YOU CAN REALLY DAMAGE YOURSELF, ESPECIALLY IF YOU HAVE A TENSE CHEST. WHEN I DID, I COULD FEEL THAT I WASN'T GETTING AIR OUT, TRYING TO EQUALISE, SO IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A BIT SILLY TO PUSH IT HARD. THERE ARE TWO COMPETITION DAYS LEFT IN WHICH MULLINS CAN ATTEMPT TO MAKE ANOTHER DIVE. THE BLACKCAPS HAVE THEIR WORK CUT OUT FOR THEM IN THE SECOND TEST AGAINST SOUTH AFRICA, AFTER A DAY ONE TOP ORDER COLLAPSE PUT THEM ON THE BACK FOOT. KANE WILLIAMSON LOSING THE TOSS AGAIN, AND IT DIDN'T GET MUCH BETTER FOR KIWIS WITH THREE QUICK WICKETS FALLING FOR JUST 20 RUNS.

SNOOP DOGG'S FEUD WITH THE PRESIDENT HAS ESCALATED AFTER TRUMP SUGGESTED THE RAPPER SHOULD BE IMPRISONED OVER HIS LATEST MUSIC VIDEO. IN THE CLIP, SNOOP DOGG PRETENDS TO EXECUTE TRUMP, WHO IS DEPICTED AS AN ORANGE-FACED CLOWN. TRUMP RESPONDED TODAY, TWEETING THAT IF IT HAD BEEN OBAMA IN THE VIDEO, THE RAPPER WOULD BE GETTING JAIL TIME. NOW, SNOOP IS STAYING TIGHT-LIPPED. THEY ALL WANNA ASK ME QUESTIONS AND INTERVIEW ME, BUT GUESS WHAT? I'VE GOT NOTHING TO SAY, MATE. BUT THAT'S NOT STOPPING FELLOW RAPPERS FROM SPEAKING OUT. TI LAUNCHED A PROFANITY-LADEN RANT.
