TONIGHT ` THE JACINDA EFFECT ` SUPPORT AND MONEY ROLLS IN FOR LABOUR'S NEW LEADER. BUT SHOULD WE BE ABLE TO ASK HER IF SHE WANTS CHILDREN? THE ONE QUESTION SHE CAN'T AVOID. PLUS, A METH-ADDICTED PYTHON AND MOODY WOMBATS ` WE TAKE A LOOK AT SOME OF THE ANIMALS HELPING PRISONERS IN OZ. DAY TWO IN THE ROLE OF LEADER, AND JACINDA ARDERN'S INSPIRED SUPPORTERS TO OPEN THEIR WALLETS AS SHE TEASES WHAT COULD BE THE PARTY'S NEW POLICY FOCUS. ALREADY SHE'S COME HEAD TO HEAD WITH THE PRIME MINSTER. THE PAIR TRADED BARBS OVER HOUSING. BRIAR WELLS REPORTS. HI, TAMMY. NICA, NICE TO MEET YOU. THE SO-CALLED JACINDA EFFECT IS KICKING IN. HOW HAVE THE LAST 48 HOURS BEEN? (LAUGHTER) IT'S BEEN PRETTY OVERWHELMING. YEP, YEP. THE NEW LEADER OF THE OPPOSITION MET WITH THE VERY PEOPLE SHE'S HOPING WILL HELP TURN THINGS AROUND IN SEPTEMBER. EVERYONE IN NEW ZEALAND WILL BENEFIT IF YOUNG PEOPLE ENGAGE WITH THEIR DEMOCRACY. SO WHETHER IT TURNS INTO A YOUTH QUAKE, EITHER WAY, IT'S BENEFICIAL. SHE HINTED TODAY POTENTIAL POLICY COULD SWING IN THEIR FAVOUR. I'VE HEARD FROM STUDENTS ON THE GROUND THAT THEY ARE REALLY CONCERNED ABOUT THEIR ABILITY TO MEET THEIR COSTS OF LIVING. THAT'S AN AREA I WANT TO HAVE A LOOK AT. JACINDA ARDERN'S PROMOTION PROMPTED A FLOOD OF RENEWED LABOUR SUPPORT. WE'RE GETTING REALLY GREAT FEEDBACK. IT'S NOT JUST YOUNG PEOPLE THAT JACINDA APPEALS TO. LOTS OF PEOPLE FROM RETIREES RIGHT THROUGH TO PEOPLE WHO ARE VOTING FOR THE FIRST TIME THIS YEAR. THEY RESPOND TO JACINDA'S POSITIVITY. DONATIONS ARE POURING IN ` NEARLY A QUARTER OF A MILLION DOLLARS ` AND NEW VOLUNTEERS HAVE BEEN QUICK TO SIGN UP. THERE ARE AROUND 5000 BILLBOARDS LIKE THIS AROUND THE COUNTRY. THEY'LL ALL BE REPLACED, AS WILL THE SLOGAN ON THEM, AS LABOUR'S NEW LEADER LOOKS TO OVERHAUL THEIR ENTIRE CAMPAIGN STRATEGY. WHAT WE'LL BE DOING ON THE ROAD, WHAT OUR TAGLINE IS LIKELY TO LOOK LIKE. SHE WENT HEAD TO HEAD WITH THE PRIME MINISTER IN PARLIAMENT TODAY. HOW CAN IT BE EASIER FOR THIS GENERATION OF FIRST-HOME BUYERS? I DIDN'T SAY IT WAS EASIER. I SAID IT'S ALWAYS BEEN DIFFICULT. AND SOON SHE'S ON THE PODIUM FOR ELECTION DEBATES. PERSONALITY IS PART OF THAT TEST BUT IT'S BY NO MEANS ALL OF IT. VOTERS VOTE ON THINGS THAT MATTER TO THEM. THERE'S NO DOUBT THAT THE NEW FACES FOR LABOUR WILL MAKE NATIONAL SEEM EVEN OLDER AND MORE TIRED. AND THAT IS A BIG WEAKNESS FOR NATIONAL ` SOMETHING THEY HAVEN'T REALLY ADDRESSED. SOME WARN IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT REFRESHING THE BRAND BUT PROVIDING THE SUBSTANCE. HEY! JACINDA ARDERN NO DOUBT HOPES TO DO JUST THAT WHEN SHE ADDRESSES POLICY IN COMING DAYS. BRIAR WELLS, 1 NEWS. WITHIN HOURS OF JACINDA ARDERN GETTING THE JOB, THE SUBJECT OF MOTHERHOOD WAS RAISED. IT'S BEEN THE SUBJECT OF FIERCE DEBATE. IS IT RIGHT TO ASK WOMEN ABOUT PREGNANCY PLANS? JESSICA MUTCH LOOKS INTO IT. THE NEW LABOUR LEADER'S BEEN OPEN ABOUT WANTING CHILDREN ONE DAY. I DO SEE MY CIRCUMSTANCES AS SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT, BECAUSE I'VE CHOSEN TO OPENLY TALK ABOUT THAT. BUT MY POINT IS, KELVIN'S POINT IS THAT IN THIS DAY AND AGE THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT ANY OTHER WOMAN SHOULD BE OPEN TO THOSE QUESTIONS. SHE'S TALKED FREELY IN MAGAZINE INTERVIEWS BUT SAYS ASKING WOMEN IS A DIFFERENT MATTER. HAVE YOU EVER BEEN ASKED? NO, NO. I MEAN, DO I LOOK PREGNANT? THAT'S WHAT I'M CONCERNED ABOUT. JOKES ASIDE, KELVIN DAVIS SAYS IT'S NOT OK. NO, I JUST THINK IT'S A SEXIST, STUPID COMMENT TO MAKE. THERE'S NO PLACE IN IT IN 2017. THE HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSIONER SAYS IT WOULDN'T HAPPEN IN A NORMAL JOB INTERVIEW. IT'S ACTUALLY ILLEGAL AND DISCRIMINATORY, AND IT'S BETTER TO STICK TO QUESTIONS ABOUT SKILLS AND COMPETENCIES OF A JOB. THE 37-YEAR-OLD IS VYING TO BE PRIME MINISTER. WE ASKED WHAT PEOPLE THOUGHT OF HER WANTING TO BE A MUM. I THINK IT WOULD BE FANTASTIC. I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH THAT WHATSOEVER. I THINK IT'S INAPPROPRIATE FOR THEM TO ASSUME IT'S THEIR RIGHT TO KNOW. I DON'T THINK IT'S OUR BUSINESS, TO BE HONEST. AND SUPPORT TOO FROM ACROSS THE POLITICAL SPECTRUM. IT'S ENTIRELY HER BUSINESS. YOU KNOW, IT'S NOT OK TO ASK. I'VE BEEN THE SUBJECT OF ATTACK BY PEOPLE FOR NOT HAVING KIDS, AND I THINK IT'S PRETTY DISGRACEFUL BEHAVIOUR. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY PATHETIC THAT ANYONE IS EVEN QUESTIONING WHETHER SOMEONE CAN BE AN MP OR PRIME MINISTER BASED ON WHETHER OR NOT THEY'RE LIKELY TO HAVE CHILDREN. AUSTRALIAN POLITICIAN LARISSA WATERS SHOWED RECENTLY THAT PARLIAMENTS AROUND THE WORLD ARE CHANGING. THE NEW LABOUR LEADER IS DOING HER BIT TO SHINE LIGHT ON THE ISSUE HERE. JESSICA MUTCH, 1 NEWS. THE GOVERNMENT ISN'T GOING TO HIT ITS TARGET FOR A SMOKEFREE NEW ZEALAND BY 2025 IF DRASTIC MEASURES AREN'T TAKEN. THAT'S THE FINDING OF A NEW REPORT WHICH HAS OUTLINED KEY PROPOSALS, INCLUDING CAPPING THE NUMBER OF RETAILERS WHO SELL CIGARETTES TO 300 ACROSS THE COUNTRY WITHIN FIVE YEARS. INTRODUCING A CUT-OFF BIRTH DATE FOR BUYING. REDUCING-NICOTINE CONTENT AND REMOVING ADDITIVES LIKE MENTHOL. AND INCREASING TOBACCO TAX. POLITICAL REPORTER KATIE BRADFORD HAS THE DETAILS. PRODUCTS LIKE THESE MAY SOON BE LEGALLY ON THE MARKET HERE. AND THEN YOU JUST POP IT JUST UNDER THE GUM, JUST HERE. AND THEN YOU LEAVE IT TO DISSOLVE, KNOWN AS 'DISSOLVABLES', THEY'RE AMONG A WAVE OF NEW CIGARETTE ALTERNATIVES WHICH THE GOVERNMENT HOPES COULD TEMPT PEOPLE AWAY FROM SMOKING. WE'RE TRYING TO LOOK FOR A SUBSTITUTE THAT IS SIGNIFICANTLY LESS HARMFUL, AND WE'LL BE CAUTIOUS ABOUT THAT. FORMER MAORI PARTY CO-LEADER DAME TARIANA TURIA WAS AT PARLIAMENT TODAY URGING THE GOVERNMENT TO ACT ` AND FAST ` IF IT WANTS TO REACH THE GOAL OF A SMOKEFREE AOTEAROA BY 2025. I'M WORRIED ABOUT IT BECAUSE WE'RE NOT DOING AS WELL AS WHAT WE SHOULD BE, AND THAT'S WHY THE GOVERNMENT NEEDS TO REVIEW EXACTLY WHAT IT IS THAT THEY'RE DOING. SHE'S ALSO WORRIED ABOUT THE EMERGENCE OF THESE NEW NICOTINE-BASED PRODUCTS. THE MAJORITY OF THEM ARE PRODUCED BY THE TOBACCO COMPANIES, SO IT'S JUST ANOTHER REVENUE-COLLECTING OPPORTUNITY. I DON'T ACTUALLY CARE WHO PRODUCES THEM. IF THEY ARE 95% LESS HARMFUL, I'D RATHER PEOPLE SWITCHED. AND E-CIGARETTE SELLERS ARE ALSO FIRING UP OVER THE MOVE. WITH REGARD TO THE 'HEAT, NOT BURN' OPTION, WE PERCEIVE THAT AS A WAY FOR BIG TOBACCO TO RE-ENTER THE MARKET UNDER A DIFFERENT FORM, SO WE WOULD NOT ENDORSE THAT NICKY WAGNER SAYS THE NEW PRODUCTS WILL ONLY GET APPROVAL IF THEY PROVE TO BE HEALTHIER THAN TOBACCO THE ONLY WAY WE WILL ACHIEVE SMOKEFREE 2025 IS TO BAN THE SUBSTANCE. A BAN IS OFF THE CARDS, BUT THE GOVERNMENT SAYS IT'S WILLING TO LOOK AT ALL OTHER OPTIONS TO HELP BUTT CIGARETTES OUT FOR GOOD. KATIE BRADFORD, 1 NEWS. POLICE HAVE SEIZED AROUND 3KG OF SYNTHETIC CANNABIS AS THEIR INVESTIGATION CONTINUES INTO THE MANUFACTURING AND SUPPLY OF THE DEADLY DRUG. SEARCHES UNCOVERED THE DRUGS FROM FIVE DIFFERENT ADDRESSES ACROSS AUCKLAND. FOUR PEOPLE HAVE BEEN CHARGED WITH POSSESSION, THREE OF THOSE WITH INTENTION TO SUPPLY. POLICE ALSO SEIZED SIX FIREARMS AND A QUANTITY OF CASH. AUTHORITIES NOW BELIEVE 10 PEOPLE HAVE DIED IN THE PAST MONTH AS A RESULT OF TAKING SYNTHETIC CANNABIS. A PRISONER WHOSE LIFE WAS DESTROYED BY METHAMPHETAMINE IS WARNING NEW ZEALANDERS ABOUT THE HIGHLY ADDICTIVE DRUG. IT COMES AFTER A 10-YEAR MASSEY UNIVERSITY STUDY REVEALED P IS GETTING CHEAPER AND EASIER TO SOURCE. 1 NEWS SPOKE TO A MAN BEHIND BARS WHO GOT HOOKED ON METH AFTER TAKING IT JUST THREE TIMES AND WAS IN JAIL WITHIN TWO YEARS. HOW EASY IS IT TO GET HOLD OF? PIECE OF CAKE. A LOT OF THE TIME, IT'S EASIER THAN POT TO GET HOLD OF. IN THE LAST DECADE, THE NUMBER OF PRISONERS IN DRUG TREATMENT PROGRAMMES HAS GONE FROM JUST 200 TO OVER 5000. SOME SOUTH CANTERBURY FARMERS ARE CALLING FOR THE IMMEDIATE CULL OF THOUSANDS OF COWS OWNED BY A DAIRY GROUP STRUCK BY A DEVASTATING CATTLE DISEASE. A PUBLIC MEETING NEAR OAMARU SAW ANGER AND FRUSTRATION OVER A DRAWN-OUT WAIT FOR INFORMATION. MARK HATHAWAY WAS THERE. AROUND 150 FARMERS SHOWED FRUSTRATION OVER THE BIOSECURITY SCARE IN THEIR PATCH. IF THIS IS QUARANTINE OR ISOLATION, IT'S NOT BEING DONE WELL ENOUGH OR GOOD ENOUGH. HOW DO I KNOW IF MY COWS ARE NOW CARRIERS? A QUESTION-AND-ANSWER SESSION PROVIDED FAR MORE QUESTIONS THAN ANSWERS. THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT BROUGHT THIS VIRUS IN, AND IF THEY DID, I THINK WE COULD BE A LOT FURTHER AHEAD. UNCERTAINTY LEADING TO WORRY, SOME ARE EVEN SPECULATING WHETHER THE BACTERIA COULD BE SPREAD BY SO MANY MUDDY GUMBOOTS AND MUDDY TRUCKS CONGREGATING IN THE ONE PLACE. SO FAR, 150 ANIMALS HAVE BEEN CONFIRMED AS INFECTED. SOME ARE CALLING FOR ALL THE ANIMALS ON THE VAN LEEUWEN FARMS TO BE CULLED. I THOUGHT THAT MPI WOULD HAVE SHOWN NUTS AND MADE A PUBLIC DECISION ON ERADICATING ANIMALS JUST ON THE VAN LEEUWEN FARMS. AS FAR AS I WAS CONCERNED, THEY WERE VERY WEAK. BUT A VOTE ON WHERE PEOPLE STOOD ON A WIDESPREAD CULL WAS CALLED OFF. AS FAR AS THE VAN LEEUWEN GROUP GO, THEY'RE NOT DICKHEADS. THESE ARE VERY, VERY GOOD FARMERS. THEY HAVE A LOT OF FARMS AND A LOT OF COWS, AND FOR CHRIST'S SAKE, DON'T LET PEOPLE IN HERE TRY AND GET UP GOOD FARMERS. RESTRICTIONS REMAIN IN PLACE AROUND THE VAN LEEUWEN FARMS. MPI SAYS SAMPLE TESTING REMAINS THE FOCUS ON THE 16 FARMS OF THE VAN LEEUWEN DAIRY GROUP, ALONG WITH NEIGHBOURING PROPERTIES AS WELL AS ADDITIONAL FARMS THAT MAY HAVE RECEIVED STOCK FROM THE VAN LEEUWENS. IT'S A VERY DIFFICULT TIME FOR FARMERS AROUND HERE. OBVIOUSLY WE ALL FEEL FOR THEM. THEY'RE THE BACKBONE OF OUR COMMUNITY. WHILE THE VAN LEEUWENS WEREN'T AT THE MEETING AND HAVEN'T RESPONDED TO AN INVITATION TO TALK, THEIR DESIGNATED VET WAS PRESENT. THEY'RE AS KEEN AS ANYONE TO GET TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS. THIS IS A FAIRLY RANDOM THING THAT'S HAPPENED TO US IN SOUTH CANTERBURY. MPI ARE PLANNING ANOTHER PUBLIC MEETING NEXT WEEK. MARK HATHAWAY, 1 NEWS. A RECORD NUMBER OF SUBMISSIONS WERE MADE TO THE LARGEST PARLIAMENTARY INVESTIGATION EVER INTO EUTHANASIA, BUT NOT A SINGLE RECOMMENDATION CAME OUT OF IT. THE REPORT ON A PETITION BY FORMER LABOUR MP MARYAN STREET WAS TABLED IN PARLIAMENT TODAY. THE INQUIRY TOOK TWO YEARS AND 80% OF THE 21,000 SUBMITTERS OPPOSED LEGALISING EUTHANASIA, BUT STILL NO RECOMMENDATION. I THINK AFTER ALMOST TWO YEARS OF COMMITTEE TIME, THE MEMORY OF LECRETIA SEALES, AND 20,000 SUBMISSIONS BY NEW ZEALANDERS, IT'S A WEAK OUTCOME. DAVID SEYMOUR'S EUTHANASIA BILL IS EXPECTED TO BE VOTED ON AFTER THE ELECTION. FREIGHT TRAINS COULD BE OPERATING BETWEEN PICTON AND CHRISTCHURCH WITHIN A MONTH. REPAIRS OF THE RAIL LINES HAVE PROGRESSED QUICKLY IN RECENT WEEKS AFTER KAIKOURA'S EARTHQUAKE LAST NOVEMBER. MORE THAN 100 SLIPS NEEDED CLEARING WITH CLOSE TO 60 SITES SUFFERING MAJOR DAMAGE. THE INITIAL OPENING WILL BE RESTRICTED TO LOW-SPEED, LOW-FREQUENCY SERVICES, AS A LARGE AMOUNT OF WORK STILL NEEDS TO BE DONE TO RETURN THE LINES TO A PRE-QUAKE CONDITION. THE COASTAL PACIFIC PASSENGER SERVICE WILL REMAIN ON HOLD UNTIL 2018. A PYTHON WITH A METH ADDICTION, COCKATOOS WITH PSYCHOLOGICAL PROBLEMS AND MOODY WOMBATS. THEY'RE JUST SOME OF THE ANIMALS BEING CARED FOR BY PRISONERS AT A NEW SOUTH WALES CORRECTIONAL FACILITY ` PART OF A PROGRAMME TO REHABILITATE NOT JUST THE WILDLIFE BUT INMATES AS WELL. AUSTRALIA CORRESPONDENT KIMBERLEE DOWNS WENT TO CHECK IT OUT. FROM THE INSIDE LOOKING OUT, YOU'D ASSUME THIS WAS PERHAPS SOME KIND OF ZOO. HE LOVES TO DANCE. (CHIRPS) HELLO? CAN YOU SAY HELLO? BUT FROM THE OUTSIDE LOOKING IN, THE PICTURE CHANGES. THE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE THAT I'VE SEEN COME THOUGH THE CENTRE SINCE I'VE BEEN HERE, I KNOW THAT NONE OF THOSE HAVE ACTUALLY REOFFENDED. THIS IS THE JOHN MORONY CORRECTIONAL FACILITY'S WILDLIFE CENTRE. AND THIS IS THE CENTRE'S CARETAKER ` AN INMATE WHO'S BEEN INSIDE FOR FOUR AND A HALF YEARS AND WORKING IN THE CENTRE NINE MONTHS. YEAH, NO, IT HAS CHANGED ME, EH, IN A BIG WAY. I NEVER THOUGHT IT WAS GONNA HAVE THAT MUCH IMPACT ON ME. MINIMUM-SECURITY INMATES SPEND THEIR TIME CARING FOR ANIMALS HERE,... WE'VE BEEN MEDICATING HER EVERY WEEK. ...CREATURES GIVEN PRISON STINTS FOR A VARIETY OF REASONS. SOME WERE SEIZED BY POLICE AND ARE WAITING HERE FOR THEIR DAY IN COURT. MANY WERE INJURED AND BROUGHT IN TO RECOVER BEFORE THEY'RE RELEASED. SOME OF THEM HAVE PSYCHOLOGICAL PROBLEMS TOO, SOME OF THEM. THE CENTRE'S BEEN OPERATING SOME 20-ODD YEARS, AND AT ANY ONE TIME, IT CAN HOLD MORE THAN 230 ANIMALS. AND AS YOU CAN SEE HERE, A FEW OF THESE GUYS ARE PRETTY FRIENDLY. OTHERS NOT SO MUCH. WE HAD SNAKE THAT WAS ADDICTED TO METH, AND BEING IN AN ENCLOSURE, ABSORBED IT THROUGH ITS SKIN, AND THEN WE HAD TO DETOX IT AND GET IT BACK TO NORMAL BEHAVIOURS. AND IAN MITCHELL SAYS HE'S SEEN THE BEHAVIOUR OF THE HUMAN INMATES CHANGE TOO. THEY FORM A RELATIONSHIP WITH THE ANIMALS, AND THAT TURNS THEIR PERSONALITY AND THEIR WELL-BEING AROUND. THEY'VE ALL GOT A SOFT SPOT IN ME HEART, EH? LIKE, EVERY ONE OF THEM, EH? THEY'RE JUST ALL UNIQUE. UNIQUE CREATURES BENEFITTING FROM UNIQUE CARE. KIMBERLEE DOWNS, 1 NEWS. JUST AHEAD ` WHAT PRINCESS DIANA REVEALED ABOUT HER MARRIAGE. A NEW DOCUMENTARY FAMILY SAY SHOULDN'T GO TO AIR. PLUS ` A KIWI COMPANY LEADS THE WAY IN DRIVERLESS CARS, BUT JUST HOW FAST CAN THEY GO? AUSTRALIAN POLICE HAVE RELEASED ONE OF THE FOUR MEN ARRESTED OVER AN ALLEGED TERROR PLOT. ABDUL MERHI (50) NEEDED MEDICAL TREATMENT AFTER HIS ARREST DURING A SERIES OF SATURDAY NIGHT RAIDS. POLICE SAY THEY ACTED TO PREVENT A TERRORIST ATTACK ON A COMMERCIAL PLANE. MR MERHI'S LAWYER SAYS HE'LL REVIEW TAKING ACTION AGAINST POLICE. UNDER ANTI-TERROR LAWS, INVESTIGATING OFFICERS HAVE UNTIL THE WEEKEND TO CHARGE THE OTHER THREE MEN IN CUSTODY. THE WHITE HOUSE HAS DENIED CLAIMS DONALD TRUMP DICTATED A FALSE STATEMENT ABOUT A MEETING BETWEEN HIS CAMPAIGN TEAM AND A RUSSIAN LAWYER. THE PRESIDENT'S SON DONALD TRUMP JR INITIALLY SAID THE MEETING WAS ABOUT INTERNATIONAL ADOPTION, BUT EMAILS LATER SHOWED THE RUSSIANS WERE OFFERING DAMAGING INFORMATION ABOUT HILLARY CLINTON. NOW US NEWSPAPERS ARE REPORTING THE FIRST ACCOUNT WAS PREPARED AT THE PRESIDENT'S DIRECTION. THE PRESIDENT WEIGHED IN, AS ANY FATHER WOULD, BASED ON THE LIMITED INFORMATION THAT HE HAD. HE CERTAINLY DIDN'T DICTATE BUT, YOU KNOW, LIKE I SAID, HE WEIGHED IN, OFFERED SUGGESTIONS LIKE ANY FATHER WOULD DO. PRESIDENTIAL ADVISORS ARE SAID TO BE CONCERNED THE INCIDENT COULD LOOK LIKE MR TRUMP IS TRYING TO COVER UP CONNECTIONS BETWEEN HIS CAMPAIGN AND RUSSIA. FAMILY AND FRIENDS OF PRINCESS DIANA SAY A NEW DOCUMENTARY IS A BETRAYAL OF HER PRIVACY. THE PROGRAMME, DUE TO AIR IN BRITAIN THIS WEEKEND, IS EXPECTED TO EXPLORE INTIMATE DETAILS ABOUT HER TROUBLED MARRIAGE TO PRINCE CHARLES. THE ABC'S JAMES GLENDAY WITH THE STORY. PRINCESS DIANA COULD ALWAYS DOMINATE THE MEDIA SPOTLIGHT, AND AS THE 20TH ANNIVERSARY OF HER DEATH APPROACHES, SHE'S, ONCE AGAIN, SPLASHED ALL OVER BRITAIN'S FRONT PAGES. PRIVATE PHOTOS HAVE BEEN MADE PUBLIC. PERSONAL ITEMS HAVE GONE ON DISPLAY IN PALACES. AND A STRING OF DIANA DOCUMENTARIES ARE BEING BROADCAST. ROYAL REPORTERS SAY THIS ANNIVERSARY WAS ALWAYS GOING TO BE A BIG DEAL. BECAUSE THE TWO PRINCES WANTED TO USE THE MOMENT TO PAY TRIBUTE TO THEIR MUM. ON A PERSONAL LEVEL, AS WELL, THEY'VE TALKED VERY RECENTLY ABOUT HOW DIFFICULT IT HAS BEEN FOR THEM TO OVERCOME THEIR GRIEF AND TO LIVE WITH THAT. IN CAFE DIANA, WHERE THE LATE PRINCESS OCCASIONALLY ATE, THEY'RE NOT SURPRISED BY THE MEDIA STORM. I THINK SHE DESERVES THE COVERAGE, YES. A TRIBUTE FOR HER AND FOR HER PERSON. BUT MANY QUESTIONED WHETHER SHE'LL EVER BE ABLE TO FINALLY REST IN PEACE. WOMAN: WHAT I DON'T PARTICULARLY LIKE IS THE FOCUS ON HER PREVIOUS ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIPS, BECAUSE I THINK IT GIVES PEOPLE AN IMPRESSION, MAYBE, YOU KNOW, THAT SHE WAS A LOOSE WOMAN OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT, BUT I THINK HER PERSONAL LIFE IS NOBODY ELSE'S BUSINESS. WOMAN: IN 1992, DIANA WAS READY TO TALK. A CANDID SERIES OF OLD TAPES IS CURRENTLY CAUSING THE MOST PUBLIC CONTROVERSY. THEY FEATURE THE PRINCESS DESCRIBING INTIMATE DETAILS OF HER FAILED MARRIAGE TO PRINCE CHARLES DURING A PRIVATE SESSION WITH A VOICE COACH. FRIENDS OF THE ROYAL FAMILY ARE UNHAPPY THAT THE VISION IS GOING TO BE BROADCAST THIS WEEKEND, AND PRINCESS DIANA'S BROTHER HAS CALLED FOR THE SHOW TO BE SCRAPPED. BUT THE PROGRAMME'S CREATORS ARE REFUSING TO BACK DOWN. THEY SAY THE TAPES ARE AN IMPORTANT ADDITION TO THE PUBLIC RECORD, AND CLAIM THEY'LL ALLOW PRINCESS DIANA, EVEN IN DEATH, TO, AGAIN, SPEAK HER MIND. A KIWI COMPANY'S STEERING THE FUTURE OF DRIVERLESS CARS IN AUSTRALIA. THIS 15-SEATER BY HMI TECHNOLOGIES GOT THE ONCE-OVER AT SYDNEY OLYMPIC PARK THIS MORNING, WITH A GOAL TO START TAKING PASSENGERS NEXT YEAR. IT'S THE FIRST OF ITS KIND IN NEW SOUTH WALES AND CAN HIT A RESPECTABLE 45KM/H. THE ROUTE THAT IT'S GONNA DRIVE ON HAS BEEN MAPPED IN ADVANCE, ELECTRONICALLY. THAT'S THEN RETAINED WITHIN THE COMPUTER, WHICH IS THE BRAIN OF THE VEHICLE. AND THEN IT'S GOT A BUNCH OF SENSORS ALL AROUND IT ` CAMERAS, LIDARS, SONARS, GPS FACILITIES, ET CETERA THAT ENSURE THAT THE VEHICLE STAYS ON THAT MAPPED TRACK. THE COMPANY IS ALREADY RUNNING A SIMILAR TRIAL WITH AN AUTONOMOUS VEHICLE AT CHRISTCHURCH AIRPORT. THE MODERN MARVELS WILL ALSO BE TESTED IN MELBOURNE SOON. TO SPORT, AND WHILE DEBATE RAGES OVER THE SUPER RUGBY FINAL REFEREE, THE JOHANNESBURG LIONS COULDN'T BE HAPPIER THREE DAYS OUT FROM THEIR FIRST-EVER DECIDER AT HOME. ONCE THE EASY-BEATS OF THE COMPETITION, NOW HISTORY SUGGESTS THEY'RE IN THE BOX SEAT TO WIN A TITLE. HERE'S MATT MANUKIA. BEING IN ANY SUPER RUGBY FINAL IS BIG, BUT WHAT ABOUT PLAYING BACK-TO-BACK FINALS FOUR YEARS AFTER YOUR TEAM WAS ON THE SCRAPHEAP? IT'S REALLY AMAZING TO HAVE THIS OPPORTUNITY, SEEING THAT WE WERE OUT OF SUPER RUGBY IN 2013. WHEN NO ONE ELSE WANTED THEM, COACH JOHAN ACKERMANN TOOK OVER AND LED HIS RELEGATED BATTLERS BACK INTO THE COMP IN 2014. IT'S AN OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO BE ABLE TO PLAY THIS GAME THAT WE LOVE AT A GREAT STADIUM, IN FRONT OF A GREAT CROWD. THESE DAYS IT'S HARD TIMES FOR THE VISITING TEAMS, THE LIONS WON THEIR LAST 15 STRAIGHT AT ELLIS PARK. FOUR OF THOSE WERE PLAYOFF MATCHES, THREE AGAINST KIWI TEAMS. AS WE SAW ON SATURDAY, WHEN THE TEAM START TO PLAY WELL, THEY REALLY LIFT YOU. THE ENERGY IN THE STADIUM IS ELECTRIC. OF THE 21 SUPER FINALS, ONLY FIVE HAVE BEEN WON BY THE VISITOR. THE CRUSADERS WON THREE OF THEIR SEVEN TITLES ON THE ROAD, BUT TWO WERE IN NZ. NEVER BEFORE HAS AN OVERSEAS TEAM WON A FINAL IN SOUTH AFRICA. THE FIRST AND LAST TO TRY WERE THE CHIEFS IN 2009, AND WE ALL KNOW WHAT HAPPENED THERE. HERE'S DU PREEZ! THE LITTLE HALFBACK'S GONNA GET ANOTHER ONE! I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S THE MOST DIFFICULT ` GOING THERE OR COMING TO SOUTH AFRICA, BUT THE REALITY IS IT STILL IS, YOU KNOW, TAXING. SOMETHING THE LIONS EXPERIENCED IN WELLINGTON LAST YEAR; SOMETHING THE CRUSADERS ARE NOW DEALING WITH. THE PLAYERS PLAY THIS GAME BECAUSE THEY'RE PASSIONATE ABOUT IT AND TO TEST THEMSELVES AGAINST THE BEST. AND YOU CAN'T ASK FOR A BETTER TEST AND A BIGGER TEST THAN PLAYING THE CRUSADERS. AN OPPORTUNITY THAT SEEMED ALMOST CRAZY TO EVEN THINK ABOUT JUST FOUR YEARS AGO. MATT MANUKIA, 1 NEWS. THE ORGANISERS OF NEXT MONTH'S NEW ZEALAND WOMEN'S GOLF OPEN ARE TAKING INSPIRATION FROM THE ASB TENNIS CLASSIC TO BUILD PROFILE AND SUCCESS. THE LPGA TOURNAMENT AT WINDROSS FARM IN SOUTH AUCKLAND NOW FEATURES SIX MAJOR WINNERS HEADLINED BY FORMER WORLD NUMBER ONE YANI TSENG. TOURNAMENT DIRECTOR MICHAEL GLADING SAYS IF YOU LOOK BACK, THE AUCKLAND TENNIS EVENT STARTED SLOWLY, BUT IS NOW ONE OF THE HOTTEST TICKETS AROUND. BY DESIGN, YOU'D HAVE EVERY ONE OF THE TOP 20 PLAYING THIS YEAR. WE'LL GET TO THAT POINT. I'M REALLY CONFIDENT THAT WE WILL, BUT I THINK YOU'VE GOTTA BUILD, AND YOU'VE GOTTA START, AND I THINK THIS ANNOUNCEMENT SHOWS A REALLY GOOD START. BIG-NAME AMERICAN DUO MICHELLE WIE AND LEXI THOMPSON HAVE BOTH CONFIRMED THEY WON'T PLAY IN THE SEPTEMBER EVENT. JUST AHEAD ` YOUR WEATHER FOR THURSDAY. AND HOW THIS TODDLER GOT AN ENTIRE PLANE OF TIRED TRAVELLERS SMILING. BOARDING A PLANE CAN BE A PRETTY TEDIOUS PROCESS, BUT THIS TODDLER IS MAKING IT A WHOLE LOT MORE ENTERTAINING. HI.
