TONIGHT ` BUCKLING UNDER THE HEAT. TRAIN SERVICES CANCELLED, AS RECORD-BREAKING TEMPERATURES HIT THE CAPITAL. A CRACKDOWN ON THE LIFE INSURANCE INDUSTRY AFTER A DAMNING REPORT UNCOVERED MULTIPLE INSTANCES OF MISCONDUCT. AND IS SHE A VANDAL OR A LOVEABLE ROGUE? THE SEA LEOPARD THAT'S WINDING UP BOATIES AT THE COUNTRY'S BIGGEST MARINA. CAPTIONS BY JOHN GIBBS AND CHELSEA BRADY. CAPTIONS WERE MADE WITH THE SUPPORT OF NZ ON AIR. WWW.ABLE.CO.NZ COPYRIGHT ABLE 2019 KIA ORA, GOOD EVENING. COMMUTERS WERE LEFT SWELTERING IN THE CAPITAL TONIGHT AFTER THE TRAINS' POWER LINES SAGGED AND FAILED IN THE HEAT. THEY WERE AMONG MANY AROUND THE COUNTRY STRUGGLING TO FIND A WAY TO KEEP COOL AS THIS SUMMER SCORCHER CONTINUES. MICHAEL CROPP REPORTS. RUSH HOUR, AND THIS TRAIN PLATFORM IS EMPTY, AS COMMUTERS MELT WAITING FOR REPLACEMENT BUSSES. AN HOUR, YEAH. YEAH. PRETTY RIDICULOUS. BIT OF CHAOS DOWN HERE, THOUGH? YEAH, A LITTLE BIT. THE OVERHEAD RAIL POWER CABLES WERE TOO HOT TO FUNCTION, JUST LIKE THIS STRANDED PASSENGER. I'M GETTING PICKED UP BY MY PARTNER. I'M NOT GONNA CATCH NO DANG TRAIN. WOULD YOU GO ON A BUS IN THIS WEATHER? THE MERCURY REACHED 30 DEGREES IN WELLINGTON AND 33.3 IN UPPER HUTT. THAT'S COOL. IT'S THE WAY IT IS ` HOT WEATHER, FALLS APART. I NEED A SWIM. A SENTIMENT SHARED BY OTHER WELLINGTONIANS. ORIENTAL BAY WAS PACKED. THE BEACH WASN'T AN OPTION FOR THESE AUCKLAND SCHOOLKIDS, INSTEAD SOAKING THEIR HATS TO TRY AND COOL OFF. WITH THE AIR CONDITIONING SET TO THE MAX, RESIDENTS AT THIS BLENHEIM REST HOME WERE LAPPING UP A MORE EFFICIENT COOLING METHOD. WE'RE GIVING THOSE OUT NORMALLY MID-AFTERNOON, WHEN IT'S AT ITS HOTTEST, AND LEMONADE SEEMS TO BE THE FLAVOUR FOR EVERYBODY. OOH. THIS IS LOVELY. FROZEN TREATS FOR THE SPCA ANIMALS TOO. THE SOCIETY RECOMMENDS SUNSCREEN FOR FAIR-SKINNED PETS AND DOG WALKS EARLY MORNING OR LATE EVENING WHEN IT'S COOLER. IT WAS THE HOTTEST DAY OF SUMMER IN AUCKLAND, IN WAIHOU, IN THE WAIKATO, THE PADDOCKS ARE STILL GREEN, BUT FEDERATED FARMERS ARE PREPARED FOR TEMPERATURES TO STAY HIGH. IF WE CAN GET RAIN SOON, THAT'S FANTASTIC, BUT MOST OF US HAVE PLANNED AHEAD FOR A DRY SPELL. AND WE SHOULD HAVE FEED AND WATER AVAILABLE FOR OUR STOCK. AND IN MARLBOROUGH, WINEMAKERS ARE RESORTING TO BACK-UP PLANS. WITH THE TWO MAIN RIVERS NOW TOO LOW TO TAKE WATER FROM, NAUTILUS ESTATE IS MAKING THE SWITCH TO ITS STORAGE POND. YOU DON'T NEED IT ALL THE TIME, BUT YOU WILL GET THE SEASON WHEN YOU DO NEED IT, AND THAT'S WHEN IT'S ABSOLUTELY CRITICAL. THE HOT SPELL LOOKS SET TO STICK AROUND TOMORROW AND THURSDAY, BUT AFTER THAT... WE'RE FINALLY GONNA SEE THE END OF THIS ON FRIDAY. FRIDAY, WE HAVE A NEW FRONT THAT HITS THE FAR SOUTH, AND THAT WILL TAKE ALL THE 30S AND JUST PUSH THEM AWAY. SO MAKE THE MOST OF IT, BECAUSE... BY THE WEEKEND, WE'LL ALL JUST SAY TO THIS HOT SPELL, 'PHEW! IT'S GONE.' AND YOU'LL BE WISHING IT WAS STILL HERE. MICHAEL CROPP, 1 NEWS. MILLIONS OF NEW ZEALANDERS HAVE POLICIES, BUT A DAMNING REPORT OUT TODAY HAS SLAMMED THE LIFE INSURANCE INDUSTRY. 16 LIFE INSURERS WERE INVESTIGATED BY THE RESERVE BANK AND FINANCIAL MARKETS AUTHORITY, WHICH FOUND MULTIPLE EXAMPLES OF MISCONDUCT AND PUTTING PROFIT OVER PEOPLE. IT'S A BIG INDUSTRY, WITH 4 MILLION LIFE INSURANCE POLICIES IN FORCE AND KIWI CONSUMERS PAYING $2.5B IN ANNUAL PREMIUMS. THE MAJOR INQUIRY SAYS INSURERS ARE COMPLACENT ABOUT RISK, AND PRIORITISING SALES INCENTIVES OVER CUSTOMERS. KATIE BRADFORD HAS MORE DETAILS AND REACTION. LUXURY TRIPS OVERSEAS, DINNERS OUT, FREE TICKETS TO EVENTS ` ALL PART OF A SALES INCENTIVE CULTURE AT LIFE INSURERS. I WOULD SAY THAT THIS IS THE END OF THE BEGINNING. PROFITS OVER PEOPLE ` THAT'S WHAT THE RESERVE BANK AND FINANCIAL MARKETS AUTHORITY HAVE IDENTIFIED IN A DAMNING REPORT ON THE LIFE INSURANCE INDUSTRY. WHAT WE FOUND WAS POOR GOVERNANCE OF CONDUCT RISK. A GENERAL LACK OF FOCUS ON CUSTOMER OUTCOMES. STAFF TRAINING WAS INADEQUATE AND UNDER-RESOURCED. THE SALES INCENTIVES STRUCTURES I'VE TALKED ABOUT RUN THE RISK OF FAVOURING SALES OVER CUSTOMER OUTCOMES. IT'S A PRETTY CONFRONTING REPORT. IT'S A PRETTY DEEP LOOK IN THE MIRROR. WE'RE NOT PREPARED TO SIT BACK AND WAIT. WE ARE GOING TO REGULATE TO MAKE SURE THAT CONSUMERS' INTERESTS ARE PROTECTED. IN SOME CASES, 'MISCONDUCT' SERIOUS ENOUGH THAT LAWS MAY HAVE BEEN BROKEN. BUT THE REGULATORS WON'T 'NAME AND SHAME' THOSE WHO ARE NOW BEING INVESTIGATED. WE NEED TO GET TO THE POINT WHERE WE'VE SEEN ENOUGH TO FEEL THAT'S JUSTIFIED, AND WE'RE NOT AT THAT POINT YET. WE DON'T RUN IN A SOCIETY WHERE GUILTY UNTIL PROVEN INNOCENT. AMONG THE ISSUES, NEW ZEALANDERS ARE PAYING A HIGHER RATE OF COMMISSIONS THAN MANY OTHER OECD COUNTRIES. THE MORE BUSINESS YOU WRITE, THE BIGGER THE OPPORTUNITY, AND SO THESE EVOLVED AND DEVELOPED TO BE INCENTIVE AND REWARD AND RECOGNITION TRIPS, AND THEY WENT TO A RAFT OF LOCATIONS ON-SHORE AND OFF-SHORE. THOSE INCENTIVES ARE NOW ON THEIR WAY OUT. WE NEED A REGULATOR THAT WILL BE ABLE TO MONITOR THIS CONDUCT WITH STRONG PENALTIES FOR THOSE WHO BREACH THE DUTIES. THE CHANGES APPLIED WILL BE FOR BOTH BANKING AND INSURANCE. THE INDUSTRY SAYS CHANGE HAS ALREADY BEGUN. I THINK WHEN YOU GET A REPORT CARD THAT'S AS CONFRONTING AS THIS, YOU'VE GOT TO TAKE STOCK; YOU'VE GOT TO LISTEN; AND YOU'VE GOT TO ACT; AND THAT'S WHAT WE'RE DOING. AND SOME ADVICE FOR CONSUMERS ` YOU SHOULD BE LOOKING HARD AND ASKING HARD QUESTIONS AS TO WHOEVER IT IS THAT IS ADVISING YOU ON HOW THEY ARE BEING PAID AND WHO'S PAYING THEM. THE GOVERNMENT'S PROMISING HELP IS ON ITS WAY, BUT IT WILL TAKE TIME. JUNIOR DOCTORS WALKED OFF THE JOB TODAY FOR THEIR SECOND TWO-DAY STRIKE THIS MONTH. 3000 TOOK TO PICKET LINES ACROSS THE COUNTRY TO PROTEST AGAINST WHAT THEY SAY IS UNSAFE HOURS AND WORKING CONDITIONS. THEY'VE ALSO VOTED FOR A THIRD 48-HOUR STRIKE ON FEBRUARY 12 AND 13. THINGS HAVE STALLED; THERE'S BEEN DELAYS; IT FEELS LIKE THINGS AREN'T MOVING FORWARD IN A GOOD WAY, AND IT'S IMPORTANT THAT HEALTH MOVES FORWARDS AND KEEP DOCTORS SAFER AND KEEP PATIENTS SAFER. BUT DISTRICT HEALTH BOARDS SAY CONDITIONS FOR JUNIOR DOCTORS ARE SOME OF THE BEST IN THE WORLD. HOSPITALS HAVE MEASURES IN PLACE TO HELP COPE DURING THE STRIKE, BUT SOME NON-URGENT SERVICES WILL BE AFFECTED. IT'S ANOTHER CRUNCH TIME FOR BREXIT OVERNIGHT, AS BRITISH MPS VOTE ON CHANGES TO THE EUROPEAN UNION EXIT PLAN. DEBATE ON THE DRAFT DEAL IS DEADLOCKED, AND THERE ARE NOW JUST 60 DAYS UNTIL THE DIVORCE DEADLINE. TOP OF THE POTENTIAL VOTING LIST, REVISING THE EU AGREEMENT TO PREVENT AN IRISH HARD BORDER, BUT THE EUROPEAN UNION SAYS IT'S DONE TALKING. NEGOTIATION ON THIS IS IN LONDON. THERE'S NO NEGOTIATION BETWEEN THE EU AND THE UK. THAT NEGOTIATION IS FINISHED. THERE'S A VERY HIGH RISK OF CRASH-OUT, NOT BY DESIGN BUT BY ACCIDENT. 'CRASH-OUT' MEANING A NO-DEAL BREXIT, WHICH MAJOR RETAILERS WARN COULD SEE DIRE FOOD SHORTAGES. IN A FEW HOURS, PARLIAMENT MAY ALSO DEBATE A RADICAL IDEA BY OPPOSITION MPs TO PREVENT THIS SCENARIO. THE US SAYS ITS REACHED AGREEMENT ON A FRAMEWORK FOR A PEACE DEAL WITH THE TALIBAN IN AFGHANISTAN. THAT FRAMEWORK WOULD SEE THE TALIBAN VOW TO STOP AFGHANISTAN FROM BEING USED AS A HUB FOR TERRORISM IN RETURN FOR A US TROOPS WITHDRAWAL. BOTH SIDES ARE WORKING ON A CEASEFIRE. NEW ZEALAND'S 17 YEAR DEPLOYMENT, MAINLY A TRAINING MISSION, NOW EXTENDS TO JUNE THIS YEAR. THE DEATH TOLL FROM BRAZIL'S DEADLY DAM COLLAPSE AT THE WEEKEND HAS NOW REACHED 65, BUT IT'S FEARED THAT NUMBER WILL RISE DRASTICALLY, WITH HUNDREDS STILL MISSING. ISRAEL'S NOW HELPING BRAZIL WITH THE SEARCH AND RESCUE EFFORT, COMBING THROUGH THE 12 MILLION CUBIC METRES OF MINING WASTE THAT SPILLED OUT OF THE COLLAPSED DAM. THE COUNTRY'S TOP PROSECUTOR IS CALLING FOR THE MINE'S OWNERS TO BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DISASTER. CONSUMER NEW ZEALAND IS DEFENDING ITS SUNSCREEN TESTING RESULTS AFTER THE CANCER SOCIETY COMPLAINED. IN DECEMBER, THE CONSUMER WATCHDOG FOUND CANCER SOCIETY'S 'SPF 50+ KIDS PURE SUNSCREEN' WAS ACTUALLY LESS EFFECTIVE, WITH AN SPF OF 41. HOWEVER, THE SUNSCREEN BRAND DISPUTES THAT FINDING AND SAYS IT'S HAD FURTHER TESTING DONE. WE GOT THE RESULTS ON JANUARY THE 7TH, ACTUALLY. DONE IN AMERICA, AND IT CAME BACK AT SPF 60. SO THERE'S A BIG DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SPF 60 AND SPF 41. BUT CONSUMER NEW ZEALAND IS STANDING BY ITS ORIGINAL TESTS, SAYING IT WAS CARRIED OUT IN AN ACCREDITED LAB TO AUSTRALIAN AND NEW ZEALAND STANDARDS. A BEEPING TRADITION IN THE CAPITAL'S UNDER THREAT, AS A WELLINGTON COUNCILLOR LOBBIES TO STOP CARS HONKING IN THE MT VICTORIA TUNNEL. HE SAYS THE NOISE IS ANNOYING FOR CYCLISTS AND PEDESTRIANS, BUT OTHERS SAY IT'S JUST A BIT OF FUN. MEI HERON WITH MORE. IT'S A FAMILIAR SOUND IN THIS NECK OF THE WOODS. (CAR HORNS HONK) A TRADITION THAT'S BEEN AROUND FOR DECADES. WHEN I WAS ABOUT 16, I GOT FINED FOR IT ` ILLEGAL USE OF A WARNING DEVICE. IT'S SOMETHING ABOUT PEOPLE ACTUALLY CONNECTING WITH EACH OTHER. WHEN I WAS I YOUNGER, IT WAS FUN TO DO. BUT IT'S NOT SO MUCH FUN FOR THOSE WHO REGULARLY WALK OR RIDE THEIR BIKES THROUGH THE 600M-LONG TUNNEL ` A MAIN ROUTE INTO THE CITY. EVERY TIME I DO IT, SOMEONE HONKS, AND IT'S SO SHRILL, IT PUTS ME OFF BALANCE. EVERY SO OFTEN, IT'S LIKE REALLY LOUD, AND YOU'RE NOT REALLY PAYING ATTENTION, AND SUDDENLY YOU'RE LIKE, 'ARGH!' IT'S AWFUL. I HATE IT. ABSOLUTELY DOES MY HEAD IN. THEY'VE NOW GOT THE BACKING OF A WELLINGTON COUNCILLOR WHO WANTS THE TOOTING TO STOP. PEOPLE SAY YOU CAN'T BREAK HABITS LIKE THAT, BUT ATTITUDES TO SMOKING HAS CHANGED; ATTITUDES TO DRINK-DRIVING HAVE CHANGED. WHY SHOULDN'T ATTITUDES TO UNNECESSARILY USING YOUR HORN CHANGE? IT'S NOT KNOWN EXACTLY WHEN OR HOW THE TOOTING BEGAN, BUT LEGEND HAS IT, IT STARTED IN TRIBUTE TO A YOUNG WOMAN, MURDERED BY HER LOVER WHO WAS WORKING NEAR THE TUNNEL IN THE EARLY 1930s. SOME THINK THE TOOTING WAS A WAY TO WARD OFF HER GHOST. OTHERS MAINTAIN SURFERS STARTED HONKING TO SIGNAL GOOD WAVES AT A NEARBY BEACH. BUT IT'S ALSO POSSIBLE PEOPLE STARTED DOING IT JUST FOR FUN. GIVE IT ANOTHER GO FOR A WEEK, AND THEN PUT IT TO BED, EH? PUT IT TO BED PERMANENTLY. HE'S ASKING THE TRANSPORT AGENCY TO ERECT SIGNS AT EITHER END OF THE TUNNEL, WHICH THE AGENCY IS CONSIDERING, THOUGH IT SAYS IT'S UNLIKELY THAT'LL BE ENOUGH TO STOP THIS TRADITION... (CAR HORNS TOOT) ...ANY TIME SOON. MEI HERON, 1 NEWS. STILL TO COME ` THE COUNTRY'S FIRST QUADS TO BE BORN IN 20 YEARS. TALK ABOUT HAVING THEIR HANDS FULL! WE CHECK OUT HOW THE PARENTS ARE COPING WITH THE 5-MONTH-OLD BABIES. PLUS ` MUSICIAN MASEGO TELLS US WHY HIS LATEST ALBUM IS DEDICATED TO WOMEN, AND THE KIWI LADY INSPIRING HIS MUSIC. FROM ANTARTICA TO AUCKLAND ` A LEOPARD SEAL THAT'S MOVED INTO THE COUNTRY'S BIGGEST MARINA HAS TURNED FROM LOVEABLE ROGUE TO DINGHY DESTROYING PREDATOR. THE 3M LONG MAMMAL HAS BEEN WREAKING HAVOC FOR BOATIES, WHO SAY IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT. KATE KING HAS MORE. THIS IS OWHA, A 300KG LEOPARD SEAL. AND THE WHITE THING ` WELL, THAT'S A FENDER SHE'S RIPPED OFF THE MARINA. WE HAVE HAD THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS OF DAMAGE TO FENDERS AND A DINGHY. WE HAVE HAD OUR DINGHY PUNCTURED. WE HAVE HAD UP TO 50 INCIDENCES NOW WHERE SHE HAS RIPPED AND DAMAGED ITEMS. OWHA'S BEEN SPOTTED UP AND DOWN THE COUNTRY OVER THE LAST SIX YEARS, BUT NOW AUCKLAND'S WESTHAVEN MARINA SEEMS TO BE HER HOME. I THINK FOR OWHA, SHE'S ACTUALLY LOOKING FOR SOME TYPE OF ENRICHMENT. SO SHE IS AN EXTREMELY CURIOUS ANIMAL, AND SHE SEEMS VERY COMFORTABLE IN HUMAN ENVIRONMENTS, WHICH IS VERY RARE FOR A LEOPARD SEAL FROM THE ANTARCTIC REGION. SO COMFORTABLE SHE'S BEEN NUDGING PADDLE BOARDERS AND BARING HER TEETH TO DIVERS CLEANING BOATS. WE STOP WORK AND THERE IS A COST TO THAT DOWN TIME, WHICH HAS TO ABSORBED INTO THE BUSINESS. IT'S NOT REALLY ONE OF THOSE THINGS THAT WE CAN PASS ON TO THE CLIENTS. WESTHAVEN'S MANAGEMENT IS FRUSTRATED WITH THE CONSERVATION DEPARTMENT'S ADVICE. BLOWING WHISTLES AND BASHING POT LIDS TOGETHER ` THAT'S THE APPROACH TO TRY AND SCARE HER AWAY. WE CANNOT GET CLOSER THAN 20M TO HER. BUT DOC SAYS OWHA'S MORE INQUISITIVE BEHAVIOUR IS NORMAL, AND BOATIES MAY NEED TO LEARN TO ADAPT. WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO TRIAL DETERRING HER FROM COMING INTO THE MARINA, AND THAT'S SOMETHING WE'RE GONNA BE WORKING ON OVER THE NEXT FEW OF MONTHS, SO OPTIONS ARE BEING INVESTIGATED. THE PROBLEM IS THAT OWHA HAS COME ALL THE WAY FROM ANTARCTIC WATERS, SO EVEN IF THEY DO RELOCATE HER ELSEWHERE, THERE'S EVERY CHANCE SHE'LL BE ABLE TO FIND HER WAY BACK. THE CONCERN IS I THINK IT'S A MATTER OF WHEN NOT IF SHE GRABS A CHILD OR A DOG OR SOMETHING, AND THAT'S UNACCEPTABLE. DOC NEED TO STAND UP AND DO THEIR JOB AND TAKE IT BACK TO ITS NATURAL HABITAT. FOR NOW, BOAT OWNERS ARE BEING URGED NOT TO TAKE MATTERS INTO THEIR OWN HANDS, KEEP DOGS ON A LEASH AND DINGHY'S OUT OF THE WATER. KATE KING, 1 NEWS. FIVE KIDS UNDER THE AGE OF FIVE, FOUR OF THEM JUST 5 MONTHS OLD. THAT'S LIFE FOR KENDALL AND JOSHUA MACDONALD, WHOSE QUADS ARE THE FIRST IN THE COUNTRY FOR 20 YEARS. SEVEN SHARP'S HILARY BARRY VISITED THEIR HOME IN TIMARU. YOO-HOO? 'I LET MYSELF IN ` BECAUSE KENDALL AND JOSH? 'THEY'VE GOT THEIR HANDS FULL.' SOMEBODY'S HAD AN ACCIDENT. WHAT'S HAPPENED HERE? I ROLLED MY ANKLE IN BASKETBALL. DID A VERY GOOD JOB TO IT AS WELL. OH, YOU POOR THING. IT'S NOT IDEAL WITH HAVING FOUR BABIES ANYWAY. YOU NEED TO KEEP THAT ANKLE ELEVATED. I DO. AND I NEED TO HELP. NOW, CAN I TAKE HER OFF YOUR HANDS? YEAH, GO FOR IT. HERE WE GO, DARLING. YOU COME TO AUNTIE HILARY. 'THE FAB FOUR IS MADE UP OF QUINN, 'HER IDENTICAL TWIN SISTER, INDIE, 'AND THEN ANOTHER SET OF FRATERNAL TWINS ` 'MOLLY, SOUNDLY ASLEEP, AND HUDSON, THE ONLY BOY.' OOH, I THINK WE NEED TO CHANGE YOUR NAPPY. KENDALL AND JOSHUA HAD ONE CHILD ALREADY ` BROOKLYN (4). HE'S AT PRESCHOOL RIGHT NOW. WHEN THEY FOUND OUT BROOKLYN WAS GETTING A SIBLING, THEY WERE THRILLED. WE'D HAD A SCAN AT SIX WEEKS, WHICH ONLY SHOWED ONE BABY. IN HOSPITAL WITH SEVERE MORNING SICKNESS, THE DOCTOR DID ANOTHER SCAN. AND IT SHOWED TWINS. SO EVEN JUST TWINS WE WERE LIKE, 'OH MY GOODNESS.' AT THE NEXT SCAN, IT TURNED OUT IT WAS ONLY HALF THE STORY. AS SOON AS THEY PUT THE SCAN ON, WE SAW TRIPLETS. AND WE WERE JUST LIKE, 'THERE'S ANOTHER BABY. HOW DOES THIS HAPPEN?' I SAID TO THE LADY, 'DO THEY ALL HAVE HEARTBEATS?' AND SHE SAID, 'NO, ALL FOUR HAVE HEARTBEATS.' I SCREAMED. I WAS JUST LIKE, 'HOLY MOLY.' # TROUBLE, TROUBLE, TROUBLE. # I MEAN, I JUST CANNOT EVEN BEGIN TO IMAGINE WHAT IT'S LIKE WITH FOUR NEWBORNS. I'M NOT GONNA LIE; IT'S HARD. BUT I JUST DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT I EVER DID WITH MY TIME BEFORE THEY WERE HERE. IT'S CRAZY. 'IT REALLY IS CRAZY. 'AN ENDLESS CYCLE OF FEEDING, NAPPIES, 'CUDDLES AND SLEEP. IT'S HARD KEEPING UP WITH IT ALL.' AH, SO THIS IS HOW YOU KEEP TRACK OF EVERYTHING. YEAH, OTHERWISE WE WOULDN'T HAVE A CLUE WHO'S BEEN FED. SO JUST TIMES AND AMOUNTS. 'GETTING TO THE SUPERMARKET'S A MISSION. SO IS HAVING TIME TO EAT.' ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOD? YES. I'M STARVING. LOVELY. KNIFE AND FORK? OR FINGERS? JUST FINGERS IS FINE. I DON'T HAVE TIME FOR A KNIFE AND FORK. THAT'S OK. AND I TELL YOU WHAT ` I'M GOING TO RELIEVE YOU. COME ON, DARLING. MUMMY'S GOING TO HAVE SOME LUNCH. 'AND THEN, WITH A TOUCH OF MARY POPPINS MAGIC, 'ALL FOUR LITTLE CHERUBS GO DOWN FOR A SLEEP. 'I THINK WE ALL KNOW NONE OF THEM'S GOING TO SLEEP. 'BUT YOU'D HAVE TO AGREE IT'S AN ADORABLE SCENE ANYWAY.' THANKS FOR YOUR HELP, HILARY. YOU'RE WELCOME. MUSICIAN AND SINGER MASEGO FIRST PICKED UP THE SAX TO IMPRESS A GIRL. SINCE THEN, HE'S CREDITED EVERY SINGLE MILESTONE IN HIS LIFE TO A WOMAN. THE 25-YEAR-OLD'S DEDICATED HIS LATEST WORK 'LADY LADY' TO THEM. HE PERFORMED AT AUCKLAND'S LANEWAY FESTIVAL, I CAUGHT UP WITH HIM ABOUT HIS ODE TO WOMEN. (SINGS 'TADOW' BY FKJ AND MASEGO) YOU COULDN'T GET THE SMILE OFF MASEGO'S FACE THE DAY OF OUR INTERVIEW. WILL SMITH, HE TEXTED ME THIS MORNING, BY THE WAY. SO, LIKE, I'M IN A GOOD MOOD, LOW-KEY. WHY IS MASEGO, REAL NAME MICAH DAVIS, YARNING WITH THE FRESH PRINCE? BECAUSE HE WAS BEHIND HIT SONG TADOW. 'TADOW'? TAAAADOW. # GIRL, YOU KNOCK 'EM DEAD. WHAT DID HE SAY? HE SAID, 'THIS IS CRAZY.' YOU KNOW, I WAS JUST TELLING HIM 'YOU INSPIRED THIS.' I WAS, LIKE, LOOKING AT THAT EPISODE, AND HE WAS SAYING TADOW, AND THAT WAS IN MY SPIRIT WHEN I STARTED FREESTYLING THAT SONG. (SINGS 'OLD AGE' BY MASEGO FT SIR) # OLD LADY, SHE AIN'T WITH THE TECH OR THE MESSAGES. BUT HIS BIGGEST INFLUENCES HAVE BEEN WOMEN, FROM THE VERY BEGINNING WHEN HE LEARNED THE SAX TO IMPRESS A SUBSTITUTE TEACHER. SHE HAD A BINDER WITH NAJEE DAVIS ON IT, WHO IS A SAX PLAYER. SO I JUST PUT TWO AND TWO TOGETHER AND THOUGHT, 'IF I PLAY SAXOPHONE, IM'A BE ON HER BINDER!' THE TEACHER LEFT, BUT MASEGO'S PASSION FOR MUSIC STAYED. NOW HE CRAFTS UNIQUE MELODIES WHICH HE CALLS 'TRAP HOUSE JAZZ. I WANTED TO BE J-COLE, KENDRICK, ANDRE 3K, AND LIKE, A SPLASH OF, LIKE, PHARREL OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. ONCE YOU KIND OF LET GO AND JUST BECOME WHO YOU NATURALLY BECOME, ITS A LOT EASIER. (SINGS 'LADY LADY' BY MASEGO) I GON' CALL YOU LADY LADY, LADY LADY. HIS ALBUM, LADY LADY IS AN ODE TO WOMEN. IT'S ALWAYS A WOMAN PUTTING ME ONTO MUSIC OR, LIKE, SOME CULTURE. AND MY HIGH SCHOOL CAREER REALLY SHAPED A LOT OF MY INFLUENCES. INCLUDING KIWI KIMBRA. AND A WOMAN WHO PUT ME ONTO HER! SHE WAS DOING, LIKE, A TEARS FOR FEARS COVER. # I TOLD YOU I WOULD STAY. (VOCALISING) AND SHE DOESN'T CARE ABOUT ANYTHING, BUT JUST WHAT SHE'S CREATING AT THE TIME. I DUNNO. SHE WAS THE REAL DEAL TO ME. MASEGO IS FAST BECOMING THE REAL DEAL TOO. (SINGS 'FAVORITE TINGS') I'M WITH MY BAND AND MY FRIENDS, MY FAMILY. I COULD DO THE COOLEST, MOST RECORD-BREAKING THING, BUT THEY STILL JOKE ON ME IF I HAVE MISS MATCHED SOCKS ON. STAYING HUMBLE ` BUT SOME THINGS ARE TOO HARD TO KEEP COOL ABOUT. LOOK, YOU SEE HOW COOL I AM? LIKE, 'YEAH, YOU KNOW, 'WILL TEXTED ME THIS MORNING.' BUT I FEEL LIKE LATER ON I'LL PROBABLY CRY OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. JUST AHEAD, MORE ON THE SWELTERING CONDITIONS IN THE WEATHER. PLUS, HOLD ON TO YOUR STOMACH, A ROUGH RIDE FOR PASSENGERS AS PLANES BATTLE HIGH WINDS. WELCOME BACK, AND THOSE WITH A FEAR OF FLYING MIGHT WANT TO TAKE A DEEP BREATH NOW. SOME OF THE WORST CONDITIONS YOU COULD EXPECT FOR A PILOT, STRONG WINDS OF UP TO 80KMPH WERE LASHING AIRPORTS ACROSS THE UK. DRAMATIC VIDEO FROM NEWCASTLE AIRPORT SHOWS THIS AEROPLANE FIGHTING TO STAY ON COURSE BEFORE EVENTUALLY LIFTING OFF THE RUNWAY AT AN ANGLE. THE WILD WEATHER COMES AHEAD OF FREEZING CONDITIONS EXPECTED TO SWEEP ACROSS THE COUNTRY IN THE NEXT FEW DAYS. WELL, DON'T WE HAVE THE OPPOSITE HERE? TO TOMORROW'S WEATHER WITH GOLDFISH AND 'MOONWALK AWAY'. ('MOONWALK AWAY' BY GOLDFISH) THAT'S IT FROM US HERE ON TONIGHT. THANKS FOR WATCHING, GOOD NIGHT. CAPTIONS BY JOHN GIBBS AND CHELSEA BRADY.
