IT'S MIDDAY. PRIMARY SCHOOL TEACHERS READY TO STRIKE, AND SECONDARY MIGHT BE CLOSE BEHIND. WHY THE TEACHERS' UNION SAYS THE GOVERNMENT STILL DOESN'T UNDERSTAND THE EXTENT OF OUR TEACHING CRISIS. PRESIDENT TRUMP AGAIN BACKS HIS MAN FOR THE SUPREME COURT AS THE FIGHT OVER BRETT KAVANAUGH'S NOMINATION CONTINUES. WHAT CAN BE DONE TO COMBAT CLIMATE CHANGE? SCIENTISTS PREDICT ANOTHER JUMP IN GLOBAL TEMPERATURES. CAPTIONS BY GLENNA CASALME AND ALEX WALKER. CAPTIONS WERE MADE WITH THE SUPPORT OF NZ ON AIR. COPYRIGHT ABLE 2018 THE POST PRIMARY TEACHERS ASSOCIATION SAYS ITS DELEGATES SHOULD REJECT THE GOVERNMENT'S OFFER AHEAD OF A MEETING IN WELLINGTON THIS AFTERNOON. IT COMES AS PRIMARY TEACHERS PREPARE TO VOTE AT THE BEGINNING OF NEXT TERM ON WHETHER TO TAKE MORE INDUSTRIAL ACTION ` A WEEK OF ROLLING STRIKES THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY. AS JORDAN OPPERT REPORTS, THE PRIME MINISTER SAYS SHE'S DISAPPOINTED IN THE MOVE. JUST SIX WEEKS AFTER THEIR FIRST STRIKE IN 24 YEARS, MORE THAN 30,000 TEACHERS COULD WALK OFF THE JOB AGAIN. WE ARE IN A CRISIS THAT IS HEADING TO A DISASTER. THE UNION'S PREVIOUS REJECTED A PAY OFFER OF OVER $500M ` EQUATING TO A SALARY INCREASE OF 9.3% OVER THREE YEARS ` SAYING IT DOESN'T GO FAR ENOUGH. BUT IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT THE MONEY, HAYLEY. IT'S ACTUALLY ABOUT ENSURING THAT OUR TEACHERS HAVE THE SUPPORT TO DO THE JOB THAT THEY NEED TO DO TO DO THE VERY VERY BEST FOR THE CHILDREN OF THIS NATION. AND THAT'S WHAT OUR PEOPLE ARE CRYING OUT FOR. IT'S ABOUT OUR KIDS. WE CANNOT CONTINUE TO HAVE CLASSES BEING SPLIT BECAUSE WE CAN'T GET ENOUGH TEACHERS. THE PRIME MINISTER ACKNOWLEDGES THEIR RANGE OF CONCERNS BUT SAYS IT CAN'T ALL BE DONE IN ONE BUDGET. THERE'S A WHOLE RANGE OF PRESSURES THAT ARE COMING ON OUR CORE PUBLIC SERVICES SECTOR JOBS, LIKE NURSES, TEACHERS, POLICE. WE'RE HAVING TO DEAL WITH ALL OF THOSE. JACINDA ARDERN SAYS THEY'RE CONSTANTLY WORKING WITH THE MINISTRY OF EDUCATION TO IMPROVE CONDITIONS AND WORKLOAD. GIVING TEACHERS THAT NON-CONTACT SPACE AND THE ABILITY TO DEAL WITH WHATEVER PAPERWORK THAT THEY HAVE ` THAT MAKES A HUGE DIFFERENCE. THAT'S WHY WE TOOK THAT ACTION ON NATIONAL STANDARDS. TEACHERS WILL VOTE IN A FORTNIGHT, AND IF APPROVED, EACH REGION WILL STRIKE ONE DAY AT A TIME, STARTING IN AUCKLAND AND FINISHING IN THE CAPITAL. I MEAN, AT THE END OF THE DAY, I'M SURE THAT THE GOVERNMENT WANTS TO DO THE BEST ` I'VE HEARD THEM TALK ABOUT IT ` THE VERY BEST FOR THE CHILDREN OF THIS NATION, SO I AM SURE THAT WE WILL FIND A WAY FORWARD. JORDAN OPPERT, 1 NEWS. THE PRIME MINISTER SAYS NZ FIRST'S PROPOSED IMMIGRANT VALUES BILL IS NOT GOVERNMENT POLICY. JACINDA ARDERN TOLD BREAKFAST WHILE SOME OF THEIR POLITICAL VALUES ALIGN, IT'S NOT SOMETHING THE GOVERNMENT WOULD ADOPT, AND IT IS UP TO NZ FIRST TO PURSUE IT IF THEY CHOOSE. POLITICALLY, WE HAVE SOME FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES THAT WE'RE REALLY DRIVING AS A GOVERNMENT ` THAT WE WANT TO INVEST IN INNOVATION; THAT WE WANT OUR FAMILIES IN NEW ZEALAND TO BE DOING BETTER, LIFTING THEIR WAGES; AND WE WANT OUR ENVIRONMENT TO BE PROTECTED. SO THERE ARE THINGS THAT WE AGREE ON. BUT, LOOK, THERE WILL BE THINGS WE DISAGREE ON TOO. THE OPPOSITION'S ALSO NOT IN FAVOUR OF THE BILL ` NATIONAL LEADER SIMON BRIDGES LABELLING IT 'HEADLINE-GRABBING NONSENSE'. THICK FOG BLANKETING THE GARDEN CITY HAS AFFECTED MULTIPLE FLIGHTS IN AND OUT OF CHRISTCHURCH AIRPORT THIS MORNING. MORE THAN 20 INCOMING FLIGHTS WERE EITHER DELAYED OR CANCELLED, AND FIVE DEPARTING PLANES WERE GROUNDED. THE AIRPORT'S URGING PASSENGERS TO CHECK IN WITH THEIR AIRLINE AS THEY WORK TO CLEAR THE BACKLOG. BASICALLY, JUST THE FOG... YEAH. ...STOPPED US FROM FLYING. SO, WE GOT HERE ABOUT 6.30 OR 7 THIS MORNING, AND, YEAH. YEAH. WE'VE BEEN DELAYED TILL 4, SO THAT'S ALL RIGHT, THOUGH. NO INTERNATIONAL FLIGHTS WERE AFFECTED. ONE WORKER HAS BEEN INJURED AFTER A FIRE BROKE OUT AT THE PORTS OF AUCKLAND THIS MORNING. FOUR FIRE TRUCKS RESPONDED TO THE BLAZE WHEN A MACHINE USED TO STACK SHIPPING CONTAINERS CAUGHT FIRE. THE FIRE HAS BEEN CONTAINED. LANDLORDS AND TENANTS HAVE COME OUT SWINGING IN THE FIGHT FOR REFORMS TO TENANCY LAWS. AN AUCKLAND PROPERTY INVESTOR WHO WAS STUCK WITH A $42,000 REPAIR BILL FOR DAMAGE CAUSED BY A TENANT SAYS THE PROPOSED CHANGES DON'T DO ANYTHING FOR LANDLORDS. THE PROPERTY INVESTORS ASSOCIATION WANTS IMPROVEMENTS TO THE LAW, LIKE SHIFTING RENT ARREARS COMPLAINTS AWAY FROM THE TENANCY TRIBUNAL. WE NEED TO TAKE THAT OUT OF THE COURT SYSTEM, BECAUSE IT'S TAKING UP COURT TIME. IT'S A FACTUAL THING. IT COULD BE HANDLED ADMINISTRATIVELY. THEY COULD HAVE A DIVISION WHICH ACTUALLY HANDLES THEM JUST LIKE THAT AND TAKE THEM OUT. MEANWHILE, A RENTERS ADVOCACY GROUP SAYS THE CHANGES NEED TO ADDRESS THE LACK OF SECURITY TENANTS FEEL. LOSING YOUR HOME IS A REALLY PROFOUND CHANGE IN YOUR LIFE, YOU KNOW, AND WE ACTUALLY THINK THAT IT'S NOT REASONABLE THAT YOUR HOME CAN BE TAKEN AWAY WITHOUT YOU UNDERSTANDING WHY, WITHOUT YOU HAVING A CHANCE` IF IT'S A PROBLEM, WITHOUT YOU HAVING A CHANCE TO SORT OF REMEDY THAT. THE ANTI-VACCINATION LOBBY IN NEW ZEALAND IS BEING CALLED OUT BY A MEDICAL EXPERT WORRIED ABOUT THE FEAR BEING INSTILLED IN PARENTS. AUSTRALIA'S PUBLIC HEALTH AUTHORITIES HAVE LAUNCHED A CAMPAIGN TO DEBUNK MYTHS AROUND VACCINES TO ASSURE PEOPLE THEY ARE SAFE. I PERSONALLY DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH PEOPLE CHOOSING NOT TO HAVE THEMSELVES VACCINATED. BUT WHEN THEY PROMULGATE MYTHS THAT SCARE PARENTS INTO NOT VACCINATING THEIR CHILDREN, THEN WE HAVE A SERIOUS PROBLEM. THE 7.5 EARTHQUAKE THAT STRUCK INDONESIA IN THE WEEKENDWHY HAS LEFT MORE THAN 200,000 PEOPLE IN DESPERATE NEED OF HELP. THE DEATH TOLL IS NOW MORE THAN 850 PEOPLE, WITH THAT NUMBER EXPECTED TO RISE AS RESCUERS BEGIN TO REACH MORE ISOLATED AREAS. THE BBC'S REBECCA HENSCHKE REPORTS. FROM ABOVE YOU GET A SENSE OF THE SCALE OF THE DESTRUCTION HERE IN PALU, AND THE HUGE TASK FOR RESCUE WORKERS. IN PALU MORE THAN 40,000 PEOPLE ARE UNABLE TO RETURN TO THEIR HOMES, IN PALU MORE THAN 48,000 PEOPLE ARE UNABLE TO RETURN TO THEIR HOMES, MANY OF WHICH LIE IN RUBBLE. THIS USED TO BE A ROAD. THE RESIDENTS SAY THE GROUND ROSE SEVERAL METERS, SWALLOWING HOMES AND LEAVING HUGE RIFTS ALONG IT. TRANSLATOR: THE SOIL SOMEHOW JUST ROSE UP AND BURIED THE HOUSES. IN MY HEART, I SAID, 'IF THIS IS THE TIME I DIE, WHAT MORE CAN I DO?' I JUST PRAYED TO GOD. (SCREAMING, INDISTINCT YELLING) WHEN THE HUGE WAVES HIT THE COAST, THIS WOMAN PICKED UP HER TWO YOUNGEST CHILDREN AND RAN. THE CITY IS ALMOST OUT OF PETROL, WITH PEOPLE QUEUING FOR HOURS FOR WHAT LITTLE IS LEFT. DESPERATE PEOPLE ARE NOW TRYING TO SALVAGE ANYTHING OF WORTH FROM THE DEBRIS, AND TODAY THERE HAS BEEN MORE LOOTING AS PEOPLE TAKE WHAT THEY NEED. UP IN THE HILLS, AUTHORITIES HAVE DUG MASS GRAVES, ENOUGH FOR THOUSANDS OF BODIES, IN AN ATTEMPT TO STOP THE SPREAD OF DISEASE. AS THINGS WORSEN, PEOPLE ARE DESPERATELY TRYING TO GET OUT. CROWDS FLOOD THE SMALL, DAMAGED AIRPORT IN PALU, HOPING TO GET ON LIMITED MILITARY AND COMMERCIAL FLIGHTS TO NEARBY CITIES. A FORMER UNIVERSITY CLASSMATE OF BRETT KAVANAUGH SAYS THE US SUPREME COURT NOMINEE LIED ABOUT HIS DRINKING TO A SENATE PANEL. THE FBI'S INQUIRY INTO ALLEGATIONS OF SEXUAL ASSAULT AGAINST MR KAVANAUGH IS NOW UNDERWAY. THE ABC'S CECILIA VEGA REPORTS. IN THE ROSE GARDEN TODAY, PRESIDENT TRUMP GATHERED HIS TOP ADVISORS TO CELEBRATE HIS NEW TRADE DEAL WITH CANADA AND MEXICO. HE DID NOT WANT TO ANSWER QUESTIONS ABOUT HIS EMBATTLED SUPREME COURT NOMINEE ` AT LEAST NOT AT FIRST. QUESTION. YEAH, GO AHEAD. SURE. SHE'S SHOCKED THAT I PICKED HER. LIKE, IN A STATE OF SHOCK. I'M NOT THINKING, MR PRESIDENT. THAT'S OK. I'M NOT THINKING, MR PRESIDENT` THAT'S OK. I KNOW YOU'RE NOT THINKING. YOU NEVER DO. I'M SORRY? NO, GO AHEAD. IN A TWEET THIS WEEKEND, MR PRESIDENT, YOU SAID THAT IT'S INCORRECT TO SAY YOU'RE LIMITING THE SCOPE OF THE FBI INVESTIGATION. WHAT DOES THAT HAVE TO DO WITH TRADE? I DON'T MIND ANSWERING THE QUESTION, BUT I'D LIKE TO DO THE TRADE QUESTIONS. IT HAS TO DO WITH THE OTHER HEADLINE IN THE NEWS, WHICH IS THE KAVANAUGH NOMINATION. I KNOW, BUT HOW ABOUT TALKING ABOUT TRADE, AND THEN WE'LL GET TO THAT. EVENTUALLY, THE KAVANAUGH NOMINATION TOOK CENTRE STAGE. WHAT I SAID IS LET THE SENATE DECIDE. WHATEVER THEY WANT TO DO IS OK WITH ME. AND ALSO THE FBI. I THINK THE FBI SHOULD DO WHAT THEY HAVE TO DO TO GET TO THE ANSWERS. ARE YOU SAYING YOUR WHITE HOUSE HAS PUT NO LIMITATIONS ON...? NO, MY WHITE HOUSE IS DOING WHATEVER THE SENATORS WANT. NO, NO. YOU'RE NOT... MY WHITE HOUSE WILL DO WHATEVER THE SENATORS WANT. I AM OPEN TO WHATEVER THEY WANT. THE PRESIDENT WAS REMINDED IT IS ACTUALLY HIS DECISION. IT IS UP TO ME. BUT I'M INSTRUCTING THEM AS PER WHAT I FEEL THE SENATE WANTS. THE SENATE IS MAKING THIS DECISION. IT IS A STARK REVERSAL FROM HIS INITIAL ORDER, STRICTLY LIMITING THE SCOPE OF THE FBI'S NEW INVESTIGATION. THE PRESIDENT ALSO REPEATEDLY PRESSED ABOUT JUDGE KAVANAUGH'S DRINKING. CHRISTINE BLASEY FORD ALLEGES KAVANAUGH WAS HIGHLY INTOXICATED WHEN SHE SAYS HE ASSAULTED HER. HE BRISTLED UNDER QUESTIONING FROM MINNESOTA SENATOR AMY KLOBUCHAR. SO YOU'RE SAYING THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A CASE WHERE YOU DRANK SO MUCH THAT YOU DID NOT REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENED THE NIGHT BEFORE OR PART OF WHAT HAPPENED THE NIGHT BEFORE? YOU ASKING ABOUT BLACKOUT` I DON'T KNOW. HAVE YOU? TODAY, THE PRESIDENT WAS ASKED ABOUT HIS TESTIMONY. HE HAS HAD A BIT OF DIFFICULTY. HE TALKED ABOUT THINGS THAT HAPPENED WHEN HE DRANK. THE INTERESTING THING IS, THOUGH, NOBODY ASKED THEM ABOUT WHAT HAS HAPPENED IN THE LAST 25 OR 30 YEARS DURING HIS PROFESSIONAL CAREER. THERE ARE NO BAD REPORTS. AN INTER-GOVERNMENTAL PANEL ON CLIMATE CHANGE IS MEETING IN SOUTH KOREA TO SEE IF GLOBAL TEMPERATURES CAN BE PREVENTED FROM RISING TO CONCERNING LEVELS. LEADING SCIENTISTS ARE EXPECTED TO ANNOUNCE AN INCREASE OF MORE THAN 1.5 DEGREES BY 2040. THE BBC'S MATT MCGRATH REPORTS. AFTER A SUMMER OF RECORD-BREAKING HEAT AND STORMS IN MANY PARTS OF THE WORLD, SCIENTISTS ARE MORE CONFIDENT THAN EVER THAT THE FINGERPRINT OF CLIMATE CHANGE CAN BE SEEN IN THE SEVERITY AND FREQUENCY OF EXTREME WEATHER EVENTS. WHILE THE PARIS CLIMATE AGREEMENT COMMITTED GOVERNMENTS TO KEEPING THIS RISE IN GLOBAL TEMPERATURES THIS CENTURY TO WELL UNDER 2 DEGREES, MANY RESEARCHERS BELIEVE THAT THIS LIMIT IS IN FACT TOO HIGH AND EXPOSES MILLIONS OF PEOPLE TO VERY SIGNIFICANT DANGERS OF FLOODING FROM SEA LEVEL RISE. IT ALSO THREATENS A HUGE LOSS OF PLANTS, ANIMALS AND OTHER VULNERABLE SPECIES AROUND THE WORLD. TO ASSESS THE FEASIBILITY OF KEEPING THE TEMPERATURE RISE TO 1.5 DEGREES, SCIENTISTS FROM THE IPCC OUR MEETING THIS WEEK IN SOUTH KOREA TO PRODUCE SCIENTISTS FROM THE IPCC ARE MEETING THIS WEEK IN SOUTH KOREA TO PRODUCE A REPORT ON THIS NEW LOWER LIMIT. STUDY WILL SAY THAT UNLESS RAPID ACTION IS TAKEN, THE WORLD WILL SAIL PAST THIS TARGET BY 2040. THE AUTHORS SAY THAT EVERY POSSIBLE OPTION TO CONTROL EMISSIONS MUST BE CONSIDERED. THE THING WITH CLIMATE CHANGE IS THAT YOU DON'T ALWAYS NECESSARILY FALL OFF A CLIFF AT A PARTICULAR LEVEL OF WARMING. BUT THE WARMER IT GETS GLOBALLY, FRANKLY THE WORSE IT GETS, AND WE NEED TO REMEMBER THAT EVERY LITTLE EXTRA WE CAN DO IN TERMS OF REDUCING EMISSIONS WILL BRING BENEFITS. GLOBAL CARBON OUTPUT WILL NEED TO PEAK BY 2020; RENEWABLE ENERGY WILL HELP TO INCREASE RAPIDLY. WHATEVER THE OUTCOME, THE REPORT WILL LIKELY SAY THAT KEEPING TEMPERATURES BELOW 1.5 DEGREES CAN BE DONE, BUT IT WILL REQUIRE A MASSIVE TRANSFORMATION OF THE GLOBAL ECONOMY AND SOCIETY. STILL TO COME ON MIDDAY ` CATTLE CLOSE AUCKLAND'S NORTHERN MOTORWAY. HOW DID THESE COWS END UP ON THE ROAD? AND THE CELEBRATIONS CONTINUE FOR EUROPE'S HOT COUPLE FROM THE RYDER CUP. THAT'S COMING UP AFTER THE BREAK. (BASSY DUB MUSIC PLAYS) (BOTTLES CLINK) Ae. Imagine if Jono kooks it on his way home. Who would get us through Mad Mick's to Boneyards? Far. Boneyards. Sebastian ` he knows everyone. Micky boy! Rack off! Yeah, OK. Ha! Jono's brother? Cain the Mane! (BOTH LAUGH) Whoo! (BOTH LAUGH) The Nek Minnit? (HUMS) # Do, do, do! # ECHOES: Jason Gunn? Hey, Mickity Mickness! Huh? (BOTH GRUNT) (CRICKETS CHIRP) Let's get him, bro. Yep. Jono! (WAVES CRASH) Come on, ow. A SECTION OF AUCKLAND'S NORTHERN MOTORWAY WAS CLOSED LAST NIGHT FOR SOMEWHAT UNEXPECTED REASONS. A CATTLE TRUCK TRAILER OVERTURNED AND LEFT ITS CARGO OF COWS ON THE LOOSE. POLICE WERE FORCED TO CLOSE THE SOUTH-BOUND GREVILLE RD ON-RAMP AS THEY ROUNDED UP THE ANIMALS. THE MOTORWAY REOPENED SOON AFTER. A LEADING ITALIAN SCIENTIST HAS CAUSED OUTRAGE BY CLAIMING THAT PHYSICS WAS 'INVENTED AND BUILT BY MEN'. PROFESSOR ALESSANDRO STRUMIA, A THEORETICAL PHYSICIST FROM PISA UNIVERSITY, WAS SPEAKING AT A WORKSHOP ON SEXISM IN SCIENCE. HE ALSO SAID MALE SCIENTISTS PRODUCE BETTER RESEARCH THAN FEMALES, LEADING TO ORGANISERS TO LABEL HIS COMMENTS AS 'HIGHLY OFFENSIVE'. I THINK IT'S DAMAGING BECAUSE IT TELLS A WHOLE GENERATION OF YOUNG SCIENTISTS WHO ARE WORKING IN STRING THEORY, HIGH ENERGY PHYSICS, AND PHYSICS, MORE BROADLY, THAT SENIOR PEOPLE IN AUTHORITY THINK THAT WOMEN ARE INFERIOR AND SHOULDN'T BE TRYING OUT FOR THESE POSITIONS AND SHOULDN'T BE DOING IT AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN THERE DUE TO TOKENISM. IT'S BEEN A YEAR SINCE A MAN SHOT DEAD 58 PEOPLE AT A COUNTRY MUSIC FESTIVAL IN LAS VEGAS, THE WORST MASS SHOOTING IN US HISTORY. MORE THAN 400 PEOPLE WERE INJURED IN THE ATTACK. THE BBC'S CLIVE MYRIE SPOKE WITH SURVIVORS. MEET ROSEMARY MELANSON, A SURVIVOR OF THE WORST MASS SHOOTING IN AMERICAN HISTORY. FOR CLOSE TO A YEAR, HER HOME HAS BEEN THIS HOSPITAL ROOM BECAUSE OF A GUNMAN'S BULLET. THERE'S TIMES WHEN I THOUGHT I DON'T HAVE THE STRENGTH, BECAUSE SOMETIMES I FELT SO WEAK. IT WAS A PRESENT FROM HER DAUGHTERS ` AN EVENING AT A COUNTRY MUSIC FESTIVAL. (AUTOMATIC GUNFIRE) GUNSHOTS. PANIC. A MAN HIGH UP IN A HOTEL NEARBY IS FIRING ROUND AFTER ROUND. HE KILLS 58, BUT FOR EVERY MINUTE HE'S FIRING, HE INJURES 40 MORE. THE DEAD ARE BURIED AND MOURNED, YET THE INJURED CARRY A SPECIAL BURDEN, AS DO THOSE THEY LOVE. I USED TO WATCH THESE SHOOTINGS ON TV BEFORE IT HAPPENED TO ME. IT IS ANOTHER LEVEL TO HAVE GONE THROUGH ONE, AND THEN TO HAVE IT HAPPEN, IT'S LIKE A PUNCH IN THE SOUL. WITH EVERY MASS SHOOTING, LISA FINE REVISITS THAT NIGHT IN VEGAS. IT KNOCKS YOU BACK AGAIN, AND YOU CAN FEEL IT. YOU CAN SEE IT, SMELL IT, ALL OF IT. AND KNOWING, THE SADNESS OF KNOWING WHAT THOSE VICTIMS ARE GONNA GO THROUGH. THE MANY TENS OF THOUSANDS INJURED EVERY YEAR IN GUN-RELATED INCIDENTS ARE AMERICA'S DIRTY SECRET. THEY LIVE CHANGED, QUIET LIVES, PAYING THE PRICE FOR THIS COUNTRY'S LOVE AFFAIR WITH GUNS. HIDDEN TUNNELS HAVE BEEN DISCOVERED IN SYDNEY'S CBD THAT HAVE REMAINED ABANDONED SINCE THE 1920S. NOW THE STATE GOVERNMENT HAS PLANS TO TURN THE UNUSED TUNNELS INTO BARS AND RESTAURANTS. CHANNEL NINE'S CHRIS O'KEEFE REPORTS. BELOW THE BUSTLE OF THE CBD IS A DARK AND DIRTY SECRET THAT'S ABOUT TO BE OVERHAULED. THIS IS PART OF, YOU KNOW, SYDNEY'S HERITAGE ` HIDDEN SYDNEY. THESE DISUSED RAIL TUNNELS SET TO BECOME THE CITY'S NEWEST BAR PRECINCT. I THINK THESE HIDDEN GEMS HAVE BEEN HIDDEN LONG ENOUGH. THE TUNNELS RUN FROM ELIZABETH ST UNDERNEATH MACQUARIE ST AND TO THE BOTANICAL GARDENS NEAR THE ART GALLERY. THEY WERE BUILT BY DR JOHN BRADFIELD IN THE 1920S ` ORIGINALLY FOR A TRAIN LINE TO THE NORTHERN BEACHES. WELL, THAT'S NOT GONNA HAPPEN TODAY. IT'S NEVER GONNA HAPPEN. SO THE GOVERNMENT HAS LAUNCHED A WORLDWIDE SEARCH TO FIND THE BEST PROPOSAL FOR THE TUNNELS. IN LONDON, DISUSED TUBE STATIONS ARE THEATRES, BARS AND RESTAURANTS. MANY GLOBAL CITIES USE THESE SPACES IN A GREAT WAY FOR TOURISM, FOR BARS, FOR VISITORS. THE ST JAMES TUNNELS HAVE BEEN USED AS AIR RAID SHELTERS DURING WORLD WAR II AND EVEN AS A SET FOR THE HOLLYWOOD HIT THE MATRIX. (SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC) THERE'S BEEN PROMISES FROM POLITICIANS BEFORE ` A WATER RESERVOIR AND A BRAND-NEW TRAIN LINE THAT NEVER HAPPENED. ONE OF THE CHALLENGES IS BUILDING ENTRY AND EXIT POINTS TO GET PEOPLE IN AND OUT OF THE TUNNEL. BUT THE MINISTER SAYS HE'S CONFIDENT THAT THEY CAN MAKE IT HAPPEN AND BELIEVES THIS PLACE CAN BE TRANSFORMED IN JUST A COUPLE OF YEARS. IT'S NOT ENTIRELY STRAIGHTFORWARD, THOUGH, AS PARTS OF THE TUNNEL ARE FULL OF WATER. STILL, THE GOVERNMENT INSISTS ALL OF IT CAN BE OVERCOME. THERE'S AN INCREDIBLE SHELL HERE, AND IT'S ABOUT FITTING IT OUT. TO SPORT NOW, AND THE ALL BLACKS HAVE TOUCHED DOWN IN SOUTH AFRICA AHEAD OF THEIR FINAL RUGBY CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH. SKIPPER KIERAN READ WELCOMED THE SIDE IN PRETORIA FOR THE DEAD RUBBER CLASH. WITH THE SERIES ALREADY SECURED, COACH STEVE HANSEN ISN'T RESTING ON HIS LAURELS AND SAYS THE TEAM ARE DESPERATE FOR REVENGE AFTER LAST MONTH'S SPRINGBOKS DEFEAT. THE LIFE OF AN ALL BLACKS DOESN'T LOOK LIKE THAT. IT'S NOT ABOUT ANYTHING OTHER THAN HAVING TO WIN. EXPECTATIONS ARE THAT WE WIN EVERY TEST MATCH, AND IF WE WIN, WE'VE GOT TO WIN THEM WELL. SO NOTHING WILL CHANGE FOR US. THOSE WORDS BACKED BY PROP OWEN FRANKS. OH, YEAH, DEFINITELY. YEAH, YOU CAN'T BEAT A TEST AT PRETORIA. HOPEFULLY IT SELLS OUT. I HAVEN'T PLAYED IN A SOLD-OUT STADIUM YET SINCE 2009. 10 AGAINST THE BULLS, AND IT AN WAS AWESOME ATMOSPHERE. HOPEFULLY I CAN BE A PART OF IT. LESS THAN A DAY AFTER BEING NAMED KANGAROOS CAPTAIN, GREG INGLIS HAS BEEN CHARGED WITH DRINK DRIVING. AUSTRALIAN MEDIA CLAIM THE RABBITOHS STAR WAS STOPPED BY POLICE FOR SPEEDING AND LATER UNDERWENT A ROADSIDE BREATH TEST. THE INCIDENT OCCURRED YESTERDAY AFTERNOON AS HE RETURNED HOME FROM AN ABORIGINAL RUGBY LEAGUE TOURNAMENT. INGLIS HAD BEEN HANDPICKED BY COACH MAL MENINGA TO LEAD AUSTRALIA FOLLOWING CAMERON SMITH'S INTERNATIONAL RETIREMENT. DESPITE A VALIANT HALF-CENTURY FROM SUZIE BATES, THE WHITE FERNS HAVE LOST THEIR T-20 SERIES TO AUSTRALIA. THE VETERAN BLAZED A RAPID 77 FROM 52 BALLS TO ADD SOME RESPECTABILITY TO NEW ZEALAND'S INNINGS. ...HAS GOT A T20 INTERNATIONAL. OH, SHE'S ABSOLUTELY THUMPED IT AGAIN. IT'S RIGHT TO THE ROPE. IT WAS A SPECTACULAR EFFORT DOWN THERE. BUT THE BIGGEST TALKING POINT CAME IN AUSTRALIA'S RUN CHASE AFTER THIS BIZARRE RUN-OUT. I THINK SHE'S MISSED THAT BALL AND HIT HER WITH THE` THE GLOVES HAVE HIT THE STUMP, SO THAT WILL PROBABLY BE NOT OUT. VERY FORTUITOUS FOR ASH GARDNER. PLAYING OUT. WELL, THAT'S... THAT'S AN INTERESTING CALL. THE DISMISSAL ONLY DELAYED THE INEVITABLE AS THE HOME SIDE ROMPED TO A 6-WICKET WIN TO CLAIM THE SERIES 2-0 IN BRISBANE. BOURNEMOUTH HAVE MOVED CLOSER TOWARDS EUROPEAN FOOTBALL NEXT SEASON AFTER LATE PENALTY DRAMA SAW THEM EDGE CRYSTAL PALACE IN THE PREMIER LEAGUE. THE CHERRIES DIDN'T HAVE TO WAIT LONG FOR A BREAKTHROUGH THANKS TO DAVID BROOKS' EARLY CURLING EFFORT. ...WITH HIS LEFT FOOT. HERE'S BROOKS! (CROWD ROARS) GOAL FOR BOURNEMOUTH! GOAL IN THE PREMIER LEAGUE FOR DAVID BROOKS! BUT THE EAGLES FOUGHT BACK TO DRAW LEVEL AFTER THE BREAK. THE GAME LOOKED DESTINED FOR A SHARE OF THE POINTS UNTIL ILL DISCIPLINE COST PALACE DEARLY IN THE FINAL MINUTES. HENNESEY'S MADE TWO EXCEPTIONAL SAVES IN QUICK SUCCESSION. BUT HE CAN'T SAVE THE PENALTY. AND BOURNEMOUTH, WHO SCORED EARLY, HAVE NOW SCORED LATE. BOURNEMOUTH TAKING THE WIN 2-1 AT THE FINAL WHISTLE TO MOVE TO SEVENTH ON THE TABLE. BOURNEMOUTH'S WIN SEES THEM THREE POINTS CLEAR OF JOSE MOURINHO'S STRUGGLING MANCHESTER UNITED. DESPITE THEIR WORST LEAGUE START IN HISTORY, THE PORTUGUESE MANAGER HAS DENIED HIS JOB'S UNDER THREAT. SPEAKING AHEAD OF TOMORROW'S CHAMPIONS LEAGUE TIE WITH VALENCIA, MOURINHO TOOK AIM AT HIS PLAYERS ` ONE OF THEM POSSIBLY PAUL POGBA, WHO MOURINHO STRIPPED THE CAPTAINCY FROM. SO SOMETIMES WHAT YOU SEE IS NOT WHAT YOU GET. SO YOU DON'T THINK THEY DON'T CARE? I THINK... THAT SOME CARE MORE THAN OTHERS. YOU WANT TO SAY WHO? NO. AND FINALLY, AFTER PLAYING A HEROIC HAND IN EUROPE'S RYDER CUP WIN OVER THE UNITED STATES, FRANCESCO MOLINARI AND TOMMY FLEETWOOD HAVE TAKEN THEIR CELEBRATIONS INTO NEW TERRITORY. THE PAIR CLEARLY NOT READY TO LET GO OF THE FAMOUS TROPHY JUST YET. STILL TO COME ON MIDDAY ` I'LL BE BACK WITH THE AFTERNOON WEATHER. YOUR WEATHER'S NEXT, BUT FIRST, LET'S LOOK AT OUR TOP STORIES. THE PRIME MINISTER SAYS SHE'S DISAPPOINTED IN A POSSIBLE WEEK-LONG STRIKE BY PRIMARY SCHOOL TEACHERS. THE DEATH TOLL FROM THE INDONESIAN EARTHQUAKE HAS RISEN PAST 850. AND US PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP HAS HAD ANOTHER RUN-IN WITH THE MEDIA AS A TRADE DEAL ANNOUNCEMENT WAS DERAILED BY QUESTIONS ABOUT BRETT KAVANAUGH. CHELSEA JADE'S 'OVER SENSITIVE' PLAYS OUT THE AFTERNOON WEATHER. (CHELSEA JADE'S 'OVER SENSITIVE') THANKS FOR JOINING US. THE 1 NEWS HOUR WILL BE HERE AT 6. GOOD AFTERNOON.
