TONIGHT ` SHE'S HERE. JACINDA ARDERN AND CLARKE GAYFORD WELCOME THEIR DAUGHTER INTO THE VILLAGE, MAKING NEW ZEALAND HISTORY. THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE SLEEP ROUGH IN NEW ZEALAND, BUT HOW MANY EXACTLY, WE DON'T KNOW. NOW AUCKLAND COUNCIL WANTS TO COUNT THEM ` IN A SINGLE NIGHT. AND MEXICAN, MIDDLE EASTERN OR MAORI, CLIFF CURTIS HAS PLAYED THEM ALL. TONIGHT THE KIWI ACTOR IS BEING RECOGNISED FOR TELLING INDIGENOUS STORIES. CAPTIONS WERE MADE WITH THE SUPPORT OF NZ ON AIR. COPYRIGHT ABLE 2018 KIA ORA, GOOD EVENING. IT'S A GIRL! PRIME MINISTER JACINDA ARDERN AND HER PARTNER CLARKE GAYFORD HAVE ANNOUNCED THE BIRTH OF THEIR BABY DAUGHTER THIS EVENING. BOTH MUM AND DAUGHTER ARE DOING WELL. WITH THE LATEST, HERE'S LAURA TWYMAN. NEW ZEALAND'S 'FIRST BABY' INTRODUCED THEIR NEWBORN GIRL ON SOCIAL MEDIA. AFTER A DAY AT THE HOSPITAL, JACINDA ARDERN AND CLARKE GAYFORD SHARED NEWS OF THEIR DAUGHTER, DELIVERED AT 4.45PM, WEIGHING 3.31KG. AROUND THE WORLD. THERE'S A NEW LITTLE KIWI IN THE WORLD. NEW ZEALAND PRIME MINISTER JACINDA ARDERN HAS GIVEN BIRTH TO A GIRL. SHE IS THE FIRST WORLD GOVERNMENT LEADER TO TAKE MATERNITY LEAVE. NEW ZEALAND'S PRIME MINISTER JACINDA ARDERN HAS GIVEN BIRTH TO A BABY GIRL. I'M REALLY PROUD OF JACINDA. SHE'S MY FRIEND, FIRST AND FOREMOST, AND IT'S JUST SO EXCITING FOR THEM. I THINK THEY'RE GONNA BE THE MOST WONDERFUL PARENTS MANY FROM GOVERNMENT SHARED THEIR EXCITEMENT. YAY! ACTING PRIME MINISTER WINSTON PETERS IN A STATEMENT SAID HE'S DELIGHTED FOR THE NEW PARENTS. OPPOSITION LEADER SIMON BRIDGES ALSO WISHED THEM EVERY HAPPINESS. THE MESSAGES, THOUGH, AREN'T JUST COMING FROM WITHIN NEW ZEALAND. BRITISH PRIME MINISTER THERESA MAY'S TWEETED HER CONGRATULATIONS, HELEN CLARK ALSO POSTED FROM CANADA, 'THIS IS 21ST CENTURY NEW ZEALAND.' THE BIRTH IS A SIGNIFICANT MOMENT IN HISTORY. JACINDA ARDERN IS THE FIRST WORLD LEADER TO GIVE BIRTH WHILE IN OFFICE IN ALMOST 30 YEARS. I THINK IT SAYS SOMETHING GREAT ABOUT OUR COUNTRY THAT WE'RE ALL CELEBRATING TOGETHER THIS BIRTH AND THAT ONCE AGAIN WE'RE LEADING THE WORLD IN SHOWING THAT ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE. JACINDA ARDERN HAS POSTED ONLINE THAT THE NEW FAMILY OF THREE ARE ALL DOING REALLY WELL. I'VE HAD MESSAGE CONTACT WITH JACINDA. SHE'S REALLY EXCITED, AND, YEAH, REALLY HAPPY. THE COUPLE THANKED THE TEAM AT AUCKLAND HOSPITAL WHERE THEY'RE EXPECTED TO STAY UNTIL TOMORROW, WHEN THEY'LL BE COMING OUTSIDE TO GIVE US A WAVE. LAURA TWYMAN, 1 NEWS. THIS IS ALSO A BIG DEAL POLITICALLY. WINSTON PETERS IS NOW OFFICIALLY ACTING PRIME MINISTER WHILE JACINDA ARDERN IS AWAY. POLITICAL EDITOR JESSICA MUTCH LOOKS AT THE BIG TALKING POINTS AT PARLIAMENT ON HIS FIRST DAY IN CHARGE. WINSTON PETERS STEPPING UP TO THE TOP JOB, STARTING HIS SIX-WEEK SECONDMENT. WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE US TO CALL YOU NOW? WELL, LIKE YOU'VE BEEN CALLING ME IN THE PAST ` FREQUENTLY. HE'LL STAND IN FOR THE PRIME MINISTER WHEN IT COMES TO GREETING INTERNATIONAL DIGNITARIES,... VERY NICE TO MEET YOU, DEPUTY PRIME MINISTER. YOU TOO. ...DEBATING AT PARLIAMENT... I CALL THE ACTING PRIME MINISTER. ...AND ANSWERING QUESTIONS FROM THE MEDIA. I'M CARRYING OUT ALL THE DUTIES OF THE PRIME MINISTER AND GETTING ON WITH THE JOB WITHOUT GETTING CARRIED AWAY BY IT ALL. IF YOU HAVE BEEN AROUND AS LONG AS I HAVE, NOTHING IS UNUSUAL. HE'S DONE IT BEFORE, OF COURSE, STEPPING IN WHEN JIM BOLGER WENT OVERSEAS IN THE LATE '90s. (LAUGHTER) NEWBORNS HAVE BECOME MORE OF A FEATURE AROUND THE HALLS OF POWER LATELY, WITH SEVERAL MP'S JUGGLING PARLIAMENT AND PARENTHOOD. IT WAS BABY-FRIENDLY. I WAS ABLE FOR THE FIRST NINE MONTHS TO BRING HEENI TO PARLIAMENT. I WAS ABLE TO BREASTFEED. DO YOU HAVE ANY ADVICE? YEAH ` DON'T LISTEN TO ANY ADVICE. FIND IT OUT FOR YOURSELF. SHE'S PROBABLY GOT 4.5 MILLION PEOPLE OFFERING ADVICE NOW; I GUESS MORE SO, ACTUALLY, JUST AN ENCOURAGEMENT TO ENJOY THE MOMENT. ONE SOON-TO-BE MOTHER GOT CAUGHT UP IN THE MOMENT. I GOT A LITTLE BIT TEARY THIS MORNING. HOW COME? IT'S JUST EMOTIONAL. IT'S GOING TO BE AN INCREDIBLY HAPPY DAY FOR HER. A BIG DAY FOR WINSTON PETERS TOO ` NOTHING CHANGES, RIGHT? ONE THAT WILL GO DOWN IN THE POLITICAL HISTORY BOOKS. THE RAIN'S FALLING AND TEMPERATURES ARE DOWN, BUT AUCKLAND'S HOMELESS ARE STILL LIVING IN CARS AND ON THE STREETS THIS WINTER. THE COUNCIL ADMITS IT HAS NO IDEA OF THE EXTENT OF THE PROBLEM, SO IT'S PLANNING ON GOING OUT TO DO A COUNT. AND AS RYAN BOSWELL FOUND, THOSE SLEEPING ROUGH WILL BE EASY TO FIND. A CAR PARK IN THE AUCKLAND SUBURB OF ONEHUNGA HAS BECOME A DRIVE-IN FOR THE HOMELESS. PEOPLE ARE LIVING IN THEIR VEHICLES BECAUSE THEY SAY THEY HAVE NOWHERE ELSE. CHARLIE PARKED UP SIX WEEKS AGO. I WAS STAYING IN A FLEA-INFECTED PLACE AND GOT REALLY SICK AND LAID ME OUT FOR MONTHS, AND I HAD TO FINISH WORK ALL TOGETHER. CHARLIE'S NEW SOCIAL WELFARE BENEFIT WASN'T ENOUGH TO GET INTO A PRIVATE RENTAL. ACROSS THE CAR PARK, A MAN WHO IS IN FULL-TIME WORK SAYS HE TOO HAS BEEN PRICED OUT. CIRCUMSTANCES CHANGED, SO I HAD TO LOOK AFTER MY FAMILY FIRST. TODAY THE REGION'S MAYOR FRONTED UP. THE HONEST ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTION IS NO, NOT ENOUGH IS BEING DONE, AND WE ARE DEALING WITH A SITUATION THAT HAS GOT PROGRESSIVELY WORSE. IT'S ESTIMATED THAT AS MANY AS 26,000 PEOPLE ARE HOMELESS IN AUCKLAND, INCLUDING THOSE IN TEMPORARY ACCOMMODATION WITH RELATIVES OR IN UNSUITABLE DWELLINGS. BUT THE EXACT NUMBER IS NOT KNOWN, SO PHIL GOFF HAS ORDERED THE FIRST OFFICIAL COUNT. WE NEED TO KNOW WHAT THE SCALE OF THE PROBLEM IS, AND WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO TRACK WHETHER WE ARE RESOLVING THIS PROBLEM OR THE PROBLEM IS GETTING BIGGER AND WE'RE NOT PUTTING SUFFICIENT RESOURCES INTO IT. LAST WINTER, BRUCE PULMAN PARK IN TAKANINI WAS THE PLACE TO BUNK UP. LAST NIGHT IT WAS EMPTY. AUCKLAND COUNCIL'S NOW PUT IN TIME RESTRICTIONS, MEANING MANY CAR PARKS ACROSS THE CITY ARE LOCKED AT NIGHT. THIS WINTER, NO ONE NEEDS TO BE SLEEPING IN A CAR, AND WE'RE CALLING ON ANYBODY WHO DOESN'T HAVE ADEQUATE SHELTER TO COME TO WORK AND INCOME NEW ZEALAND AND WE WILL DO OUR DARNEDEST TO MAKE SURE THEY GET A ROOF OVER THEIR HEAD. THIS ELDERLY WOMAN SAYS SHE TRIED BUT FOUND THE SYSTEM TOO COMPLICATED. I WENT TO WINZ THE OTHER DAY AND ENDED UP WALKING OUT. GOVERNMENT AND SOCIAL AGENCIES ARE STRETCHED. CHARLIE SAYS THOSE WHO ARE LIVING ON THE STREET WON'T BE HARD TO FIND; THE DIFFICULTY WILL BE FINDING SOMEWHERE FOR THEM TO LIVE. RYAN BOSWELL, 1 NEWS. 22 PEOPLE HAVE BEEN ARRESTED DURING A METHAMPHETAMINE RAID IN NORTHLAND FOLLOWING A THREE-DAY INVESTIGATION. POLICE SEIZED 71G OF P WORTH MORE THAN $35,000, WEAPONS AND AROUND $40,000 IN CASH. SEVERAL OF THOSE ARRESTED ARE GANG MEMBERS OR ASSOCIATED. THIS IS AN OUTSTANDING RESULT FOR US IN TERMS OF THE OPERATION. AS I'VE SAID, THERE'S OVER 200 DEALING CHARGES. SO THAT'S PEOPLE WHO ARE ACTUALLY DEALING THIS MISERY INTO OUR COMMUNITIES. 14 PEOPLE IDENTIFIED THROUGH RAIDS HAVE BEEN REFERRED TO DISTRICT HEALTH BOARDS FOR ADDICTION SUPPORT. PUBLIC OUTRAGE OVER THE TREATMENT OF THOUSANDS OF YOUNG MIGRANT CHILDREN IN THE US HAS FORCED A PRESIDENTIAL U-TURN. DONALD TRUMP'S SIGNED AN ORDER TO KEEP FAMILIES TOGETHER, BUT IT DOESN'T REUNITE CHILDREN ALREADY SEPARATED FROM THEIR PARENTS. OUR US CORRESPONDENT REBECCA WRIGHT REPORTS FROM NEW YORK. CHILDREN SITTING IN CAGING AND CRYING FOR THEIR PARENTS. (CHILDREN CRY) THESE ARE THE IMAGES THAT SPARKED GLOBAL ANGER, FORCING A RARE BACKDOWN FROM THE PRESIDENT. YOU'RE GONNA HAVE A LOT OF HAPPY PEOPLE. TRUMP TODAY SIGNED AN EXECUTIVE ORDER ENDING HIS OWN POLICY TO SEPARATE MIGRANT FAMILIES ILLEGALLY ENTERING THE COUNTRY. I DIDN'T LIKE THE SIGHT OR THE FEELING OF FAMILIES BEING SEPARATED. WE'RE KEEPING FAMILIES TOGETHER, AND THIS WILL SOLVE THAT PROBLEM. IT IS A HUGE REVERSAL FOR THE PRESIDENT, WHO FOR DAYS HAS BEEN DIGGING IN, BLAMING MEXICO, THE MEDIA, DEMOCRATS AND CONGRESS FOR THE BORDER CRISIS HE SAID AN EXECUTIVE ORDER COULDN'T FIX. ALL CHANT: STOP TAKING CHILDREN! IT COMES AFTER A WAVE OF OUTRAGE. BOTH IVANKA AND MELANIA TRUMP URGED THE PRESIDENT TO STOP THE FORCED REMOVAL OF MIGRANT CHILDREN. AND HOMELAND SECURITY SECRETARY KIRSTEN NEILSON WAS FORCED FROM HER DINNER AT A MEXICAN RESTAURANT BY PROTESTORS. CROWD CHANTS: SHAME! SHAME! SHAME! AND WE'RE NOW LEARNING MORE ABOUT THE OVER 2000 CHILDREN TAKEN FROM THEIR PARENTS ` AMONG THEM, TODDLERS AND BABIES ` ARE BEING KEPT IN THREE SO-CALLED 'TENDER-AGE' FACILITIES, LIKE THIS ONE IN TEXAS,... EVERY SINGLE CHILD GETS UP AND BEGINS TO PRAY TO GOD IN A LOUD VOICE ` 'PLEASE, GOD, SEND ME BACK TO MY PARENTS.' ...AND THAT SEPARATED CHILDREN HAVE BEEN SENT ALL OVER THE COUNTRY. THE NEW YORK MAYOR ONLY FOUND OUT TODAY THAT SEVERAL HUNDRED ARE LIVING HERE IN SHELTERS. THE YOUNGEST TO COME HERE, THEY TOLD US, WAS 9 MONTHS OLD. SO WE'RE TALKING ABOUT CHILDREN, IN SOME CASES, WHO LITERALLY CAN'T EVEN COMMUNICATE, HAVE NO IDEA WHAT'S HAPPENING TO THEM, NO ABILITY TO... BE IN TOUCH WITH THEIR FAMILIES. BUT NOT EVERYONE IS OUTRAGED AT TRUMP'S ZERO-TOLERANCE POLICY. NO. BECAUSE THEY'RE WELL CARED FOR. WE'RE PAYING $700 A DAY PER CHILD. TONIGHT, MANY QUESTIONS REMAIN, LIKE HOW THOSE CHILDREN SEPARATED AT THE BORDER WILL BE REUNITED WITH THEIR FAMILIES, AND WHAT HAPPENS TO THOSE WHOSE PARENTS HAVE ALREADY BEEN DEPORTED. REBECCA WRIGHT, 1 NEWS, NEW YORK. STAY WITH US. HE'S A CHAMELEON WHEN IT COMES TO HIS ACTING ROLES ` FROM PABLO ESCOBAR TO A MEXICAN GANGSTER. NOW THIS KIWI ACTOR IS BEING RECOGNISED FOR TELLING MAORI STORIES. AND HE'S JUST ONE MAN, BUT AT THE MOMENT RONALDO IS KEEPING PORTUGAL IN WITH A CHANCE AT THE FOOTBALL WORLD CUP. ONE OF THE MOST POWERFUL FIGURES IN EUROPE WAS IN WELLINGTON TODAY TO LAUNCH FREE TRADE NEGOTIATIONS BETWEEN NZ AND THE EU. IT MIGHT TAKE UNTIL 2021 FOR POLITICIANS TO HAMMER OUT A DEAL, BUT IT'S EXPECTED TO BE WORTH BILLIONS IF IT CAN GET ACROSS THE LINE. POLITICAL REPORTER BENEDICT COLLINS REPORTS. IT'S ONE OF OUR BIGGEST EXPORTS, AND TODAY WINE GROWERS WELCOMED EUROPEAN UNION TRADE TALKS WITH OPEN ARMS. I THINK IT'S A GREAT IDEA THAT WE'RE ACTUALLY DOING THIS. VILLA MARIA, LIKE THE REST OF THE NZ WINE INDUSTRY, EXPORT ABOUT 80% OF EVERYTHING WE MAKE, SO ANYTHING AROUND FREE TRADE HAS GOT TO BE GOOD FOR US. THE EUROPEAN UNION'S TRADE COMMISSIONER CAME TO WELLINGTON TO OFFICIALLY LAUNCH THE TALKS, AND THE OCCASION WASN'T LOST ON HER. WE ARE ALSO GIVING BIRTH TO SOMETHING TODAY, WHICH IS THE LAUNCH OF OUR FREE TRADE AGREEMENT. THE E.U. IS NEW ZEALAND'S THIRD LARGEST TRADING PARTNER. IT'S MORE THAN 10% OF OUR EXPORTS, AND EVEN EXCLUDING THE UNITED KINGDOM, TWO-WAY TRADE IS ABOUT $16B PER ANNUM. NEW ZEALAND'S KEY EXPORTS TO THE E.U. ARE LAMB, FRUIT, WINE, AND DAIRY, WHILE WE IMPORT MEDICINES, CARS, AND AIRCRAFT. THE EARLY PREDICTIONS ARE THAT IF WE SIGN AN AMBITIOUS FTA, THAT TRADE IN GOODS COULD RISE BY 50%. BUT IT'S ALREADY CLEAR THERE WILL BE SOME MAJOR POINTS OF CONTENTION. THERE IS A SENSITIVITY IN CERTAIN AREAS IN EUROPE IN CERTAIN PRODUCTS, NOT ONLY VIS A VIS NEW ZEALAND, BUT IN GENERAL IN TRADE AGREEMENTS. WE ARE VERY AWARE OF THEM. I THINK WE HAVE BEEN VERY OPEN TO THE MINISTER AND HIS TEAM. WELL, THE SENSITIVE AREAS WILL BE FOCUSED AROUND AGRICULTURE, AND THIS IS TYPICAL FOR ALL OF THE AGREEMENTS THAT WE'RE LOOKING TO PUT TOGETHER. AND CERTAINLY I'M SURE THAT WE'LL HEAR CONCERNS FROM DOMESTIC FARMING GROUPS AROUND DAIRY AND BEEF. THE NATIONAL PARTY IS SUPPORTIVE, SAYING IT'S AN ENORMOUS OPPORTUNITY. YOU'VE GOT A POPULATION IN NEW ZEALAND APPROACHING 5 MILLION. YOU'VE GOT A POPULATION IN THE E.U. OF 500 MILLION, SO A HUNDRED TIMES OUR POPULATION. IT MEANS A HUGE AMOUNT OF OPPORTUNITY FOR OUR MARKETERS. TRADE NEGOTIATORS FROM BOTH SIDES WILL MEET FOR THE FIRST FORMAL ROUND OF TALKS NEXT MONTH IN BRUSSELS. THE GOVERNMENT'S HOPING A DEAL COULD BE STRUCK WITHIN THE NEXT TWO YEARS. BENEDICT COLLINS, 1 NEWS. HE'S PLAYED A ZOMBIE KILLER AND A DRUG LORD, AMONG MANY ROLES. KIWI ACTOR CLIFF CURTIS IS NOTHING IF NOT ADAPTABLE. BUT IT'S HIS COMMITTMENT TO INDIGENOUS STORYTELLING THAT'S BROUGHT HIS MOST RECENT SUCCESS. CHRIS CHANG CAUGHT UP WITH HIM. WHEN IT COMES TO ROLE AND RACE, CLIFF CURTIS HAS DONE IT ALL. MEXICAN ACCENT: BUT I NEED MORE DETAILS. WHAT IS THE COST? A CHAMELEON WHO'S JUST AS COMFORTABLE PORTRAYING A LATINO GANGSTER AS HE IS A MAORI CHESS SAVANT. WHOO-HOO! BUT HE'S NO LONGER JUST A GO-TO MAN FOR HOLLYWOOD DIVERSITY. MY CAREER'S EVOLVED BEYOND THAT. AND ALSO THE BUSINESS HAS EVOLVED, WHERE ROLES ARE NOT NECESSARILY DEFINED BY THE COLOUR OF SKIN ANYMORE. I CAN BE A LEADING MAN AND BE BROWN AND BE OF NO PARTICULAR ETHNICITY. THE ACTOR AND PRODUCER IS TONIGHT BEING RECOGNISED FOR HIS COMMITMENT TO INDIGENOUS STORYTELLING ` THANKS, BRO. ONE OF SIX WINNERS AT THE KEA WORLD CLASS NEW ZEALAND AWARDS. I PRETTY MUCH MAKE A LIVING DOING HOLLYWOOD STUFF, WHICH IS GREAT, AND I REALLY ENJOY THAT, BUT MY COMMITMENT TO MAORI STORYTELLING IS REALLY WHAT DEFINES MY PURPOSE. IN FACT, THOSE TWO WORLDS ARE COLLIDING IN JAMES CAMERON'S UPCOMING AVATAR SEQUELS. CLIFF HAS INNATELY BROUGHT A LOT OF HIS OWN PERSONAL TRADITIONS TO IT IN THE WAY THAT HE PERFORMS THE CHARACTER. IF YOU'RE MAORI, I THINK YOU'LL GET A STRONG SENSE OF FAMILIARITY. THE DIRECTOR ASKED CURTIS FOR ADVICE ON HOW TO INCORPORATE AN ALIEN HAKA INTO THE BLOCKBUSTER MOVIES. I GET TO REPRESENT THE INDIGENOUS STORY. AND HE'S JUST AS PROUD OF OTHER MAORI WHO ARE FLYING THE FLAG IN THE INDUSTRY. TAIKA'S, YOU KNOW, HE'S KIND OF THE TIHI O TE MAUNGA AT THE MOMENT. HE'S SETTING THE STANDARD FOR HOW FAR WE CAN GO IN THIS BUSINESS. A GOAL THAT SEEMINGLY HAS NO LIMIT FOR THOSE TELLING KIWI STORIES ON THE WORLD STAGE. CHRIS CHANG, 1 NEWS. WE'VE SEEN CYCLING AND FOOTBALL LAUNCH INVESTIGATIONS INTO BEHAVIOUR AND TREATMENT OF ATHLETES. NOW A LEADING ADMINISTRATOR ADMITS CHANGE IS NEEDED IN HIGH PEFORMANCE SPORT IN THIS COUNTRY. A STOCKTAKE OF ATHLETES' RIGHTS IS BEING TAKEN AT THE MOMENT, BUT SOME ARE ASKING WHY IT'S TAKEN SO LONG. ABBY WILSON EXPLAINS. THE DAYS OF WINNING AT ALL COSTS ARE OVER. YOU WANT TO WIN IN THE RIGHT WAY AND PROTECT THE RIGHTS AND INTERESTS OF YOUR ATHLETES. THAT'S REALLY IMPORTANT. THIS MONTH, 1 NEWS INVESTIGATIONS PROMPTED AN INDEPENDENT REVIEW INTO THE CULTURE OF CYCLING NEW ZEALAND, AND JUST YESTERDAY, FOOTBALL FOLLOWED SUIT. NOW OUR SPORT WATCHDOG ADMITS ATHLETE WELFARE IS SO CONCERNING THEY'VE COINCIDENTALLY COMMISSIONED TOP LAWYER STEPHEN COTTRELL TO DO A STOCKTAKE. DO YOU FEEL THINGS DO NEED TO CHANGE, FROM WHAT YOU KNOW? ABSOLUTELY. I THINK THEY DO. WE ONLY HAVE TO LOOK AROUND THE WORLD TO SEE THAT THINGS ARE CHANGING. I THINK WE NEED TO BE OPEN TO THAT SORT OF CHANGE. ROB NICHOL HAS BEEN HELPING GIVE RUGBY PLAYERS A VOICE FOR NEARLY TWO DECADES. HE THINKS ATHLETE EMPOWERMENT IS CRUCIAL. I WOULD HAVE LIKED TO HAVE SEEN IT HAPPEN 10 OR 15 YEARS AGO IN SOME ENVIRONMENTS, BECAUSE I THINK, PERSONALLY, THEY WOULD HAVE PERFORMED BETTER HAD THEY HAD THAT KIND OF STRUCTURE. GEORGE BRIDGEWATER WON OLYMPIC BRONZE IN 2008. HE SAYS OFTEN ATHLETES DON'T SPEAK OUT ABOUT THEIR WELFARE BECAUSE THEY FEAR IT'LL AFFECT THEIR CAREERS. BY NOT LISTENING TO THAT OR NOT USING SOME OF THAT EXPERTISE OR THAT EXPERIENCE, I THINK THERE'S A LOT OF VALUE LEFT ON THE SIDELINES. ROWING NEW ZEALAND NOW HAS A GROUP OF ATHLETE REPRESENTATIVES WHO MEET WITH THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE AND THE BOARD. WHILE IT'S BETTER THAN MANY SPORTS, NICHOL SAYS ATHLETES DON'T ALWAYS HAVE THE ANSWERS. WHEN IT COMES TO DEALING WITH A WORKPLACE ENVIRONMENT PROBLEM OR AN ISSUE OR A GRIEVANCE, THEY DON'T NECESSARILY HAVE THE KNOWLEDGE ON HOW BEST TO PUT A PROCESS AROUND THAT. SPORT NEW ZEALAND IS VOWING TO MAKE OUR ATHLETES' WORKPLACE BETTER. THEY EXPECT COTTRELL'S REVIEW TO BE FINISHED IN A COUPLE OF MONTHS. ABBY WILSON, 1 NEWS. CRISTIANO RONALDO'S SINGLE-HANDED MISSION TO WIN THE FIFA WORLD CUP FOR PORTUGAL CONTINUES. THE PORTUGESE SIDE, SPAIN AND URUGUAY RAN OUT 1-0 WINNERS IN TODAY'S RESPECTIVE MATCHES, BUT AS EVER THE SPOTLIGHT WAS FIRMLY FIXED ON ONE MAN. DEWI PREECE REPORTS. A NOT-SO-SUBTLE HINT FROM CRISTIANO RONALDO ` A GOATEE FOR THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME. IN BY MOUTINHO! AND IN BY RONALDO! HE IS A SENSATION! HIS NEW LOOK, ALONG WITH HIS CHIN-STROKING CELEBRATION IN THEIR OPENING GAME AGAINST SPAIN, LOOK LIKE A DIRECT JAB AT MESSI'S RECENT ADIDAS PROMO, FEATURING A LIVE GOAT. RONALDO WITHOUT A DOUBT. BUT ON THE WORLD'S BIGGEST FOOTBALLING STAGE, RONALDO IS DOING HIS TALKING ON THE PITCH. HIS COMPETITION-LEADING FOURTH GOAL GUIDED PORTUGAL TO A 1-0 WIN OVER MOROCCO, DUMPING THE AFRICANS OUT OF THE COMPETITION. IT'S TAKEN HIM FOUR MINUTES! RONALDO HAS NOW SCORED PORTUGAL'S LAST FIVE GOALS AT A WORLD CUP FINALS, HIS LATEST TAKING HIS INTERNATIONAL TALLY TO 85, MAKING HIM EUROPE'S MOST PROLIFIC SCORER OF ALL TIME. STATISTICALLY NOW THERE IS NO ONE TO MATCH HIM. NOT EVEN PEPE'S THEATRICS COULD TARNISH RONALDO'S SECOND MAN-OF-THE-MATCH PERFORMANCE. HE WENT OVER AS IF HE'D BEEN CLOUTED BY A HEAVYWEIGHT. AND WHILE MESSI IS HIS CONTEMPORARY ARCH-RIVAL, RONALDO'S PERFORMANCES IN RUSSIA ARE DRAWING COMPARISONS WITH ANOTHER ARGENTINIAN, DIEGO MARADONA, IN PARTICULAR TO THAT 1986 WORLD CUP, WHERE YOUNG DIEGO SINGLE-HANDEDLY CARRIED HIS SIDE ALL THE WAY TO FOOTBALL'S BIGGEST PRIZE. AND IF THERE'S ONE MAN WHO COULD DO THAT IN 2018, LOOK NO FURTHER THAN CRISTIANO RONALDO AND HIS GOATEE. DEWI PREECE, 1 NEWS. AND FOR THE NIGHT OWLS OF YOU, AUSTRALIA IS PLAYING DENMARK VERY SOON. KICK-OFF IS AT MIDNIGHT. JUST AHEAD, YOUR WEATHER FOR TOMORROW. AND, WELCOME TO THE WORLD, LITTLE ONE. WHAT KIND OF FUTURE WILL THE PM'S DAUGHTER GROW UP IN? TONIGHT, AS WE WELCOME THE PRIME MINISTER'S BABY DAUGHTER INTO THE WORLD, WE LOOK AHEAD AND SEE WHAT KIND OF WORLD SHE'LL LIKELY GROW UP IN. MICHAEL CROPP'S BEEN GAZING INTO A CRYSTAL BALL. DEAR BABY, WELCOME TO 2018, WHERE THE FLASHY THINGS YOU SEE TODAY WILL BE AN OLD HAT BEFORE YOU'RE 10. SO, LET'S JUST PRETEND FOR A MOMENT WE'VE GOT ANY CLUE WHAT THE FUTURE WILL HOLD. FROM THE WAY YOU LEARN, TO LOOK AFTER YOUR HEALTH, TO TRAVEL NEAR OR FAR, OR REALLY, REALLY FAR, SOME THINGS WILL BE RADICALLY DIFFERENT ` TINY HOUSES MADE BY 3D PRINTERS AND THE MEAT IN YOUR BURGER PROBABLY GROWN IN A LAB. IT'S A LITTLE BIT SCARY TO THINK ABOUT WHAT OUR ENVIRONMENT MIGHT LOOK LIKE. THERE'LL BE A WHOLE LOT MORE PEOPLE ` ANOTHER BILLION IN THE NEXT DECADE ALONE. THE JOBS ON OFFER WILL CHANGE TOO, WITH ROBOTS, DRONES AND ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE DOING THE MUNDANE AND REPETITIVE,... (DOGS PANT) ...LEAVING YOU FREE TO BE CREATIVE. AND IN THE 93-ODD YEARS YOU'RE STATISTICALLY LIKELY TO LIVE, YOU'LL SEE THINGS WE COULD NEVER IMAGINE TODAY. SO, DEAR BABY, YOU'LL LEARN TO EMBRACE CHANGE MORE THAN ANY OTHER PERSON TO DATE, BECAUSE THE FLASHY THINGS YOU SEE IN YOUR TWENTIES WILL BE ANCIENT BY YOUR NINETIES. MICHAEL CROPP, 1 NEWS. NOW TO TOMORROW'S WEATHER. (GENTLE POP MUSIC) THAT'S IT FROM US HERE ON TONIGHT. THANKS FOR WATCHING. GOODNIGHT.
