IT'S MIDDAY. JUST HOT OFF THE PRESS, BUT IT SEEMS THE FINANCE MINISTER ISN'T THE ONLY ONE WITH A COPY OF THE MUCH-ANTICIPATED WELLBEING BUDGET. WE'RE LIVE TO THE BEEHIVE. BE PREPARED FOR MORE DISRUPTION ON THE EVE OF THE TEACHERS' MEGA STRIKE. CAN AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN UNIONS AND THE GOVERNMENT BE REACHED? AND THE INCREDIBLE DISCOVERY IN A NEW YORK MUSEUM. CAN YOU GUESS WHICH ROYAL MONARCH IS SEEN HERE SMILING AND NODDING? CAPTIONS BY JAMES BROWN AND ANNIE CURTIS. CAPTIONS WERE MADE WITH THE SUPPORT OF NZ ON AIR. WWW.ABLE.CO.NZ COPYRIGHT ABLE 2019 AHIAHI MARIE, GOOD AFTERNOON. THE NATIONAL PARTY SAYS IT HAS OBTAINED TOP SECRET DETAILS OF THE GOVERNMENT'S SO-CALLED WELLBEING BUDGET. TWO DAYS OUT FROM WHEN IT'S SCHEDULED TO BE DELIVERED. A SHORT TIME AGO NATIONAL RELEASED A LENGTHY DOCUMENT OUTLINING THE GOVERNMENT'S SPENDING PRIORITIES. POLITICAL REPORTER MAIKI SHERMAN IS AT PARLIAMENT AND JOINS US NOW. MAIKI, HOW DAMAGING IS THIS FOR THE GOVERNMENT? MAIKI, HOW DAMAGING IS THIS FOR THE GOVERNMENT? THERE IS NO DENYING THIS IS AN ABSOLUTE EMBARRASSMENT FOR THE GOVERNMENT. THE BUDGET IS A BIG DEAL HERE AT PARLIAMENT, JUST TWO DAYS OUT FROM THE FINANCE MINISTERS BIG REVEAL. NATIONAL HAS RELEASED WHAT IT CLAIMS IS A BIG CHUNK OF THE BUDGET, TIME FOR MAXIMUM PAIN. GRANT ROBERTSON SPENT THE MORNING POSING FOR PHOTOS WATCHING THE BUDGET ROLE OF THE PRINTER, AND AN HOUR LATER THE PRIME MINISTER WAS BEING INTERVIEWED BY THE MEDIA, WHEN NATIONAL PUSHED THE GO BUTTON, THERE'S $1.3B THERE FOR DEFENCE IN THE 2019-20 YEAR, IN THE UPCOMING YEAR. THERE'S ANOTHER, I THINK $140M-ODD FOR FORESTRY, OVER THE TOP OF WHAT WAS ALREADY THERE. AND THEN THERE'S ALSO ANOTHER $47M FOR INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT ASSISTANCE ` OVERSEAS DEVELOPMENT ASSISTANCE. SO WHAT WE SEE IS THAT THE GOVERNMENT HAS MONEY FOR TANKS BUT NOT FOR TEACHERS. JUST 10 MINUTES AGO, GRANT ROBERTSON WRAPPED UP INTERVIEWS WITH THE MEDIA. HE SAID THAT PARTS OF THE INFORMATION IN THAT DOCUMENT IS CORRECT, BUT OTHER PARTS ARE NOT CORRECT. HE WOULD GO INTO DETAIL, OUTLINING HOW MUCH WAS RIGHT AND HOW MUCH WAS WRONG. HE DID SAY TREASURY IS INVESTIGATING. SIMON BRIDGES WOULDN'T SAY WHETHER THIS WAS A LEAK, OR WHETHER NATIONAL SIMPLY CAME UPON THE INFORMATION IN SOME OTHER WAY. THERE IS NO DOUBT THE GOVERNMENT WILL BE WANTING TO GET TO THE BOTTOM TEACHERS ARE GEARING UP TO TAKE PART IN WHAT'S BEING CALLED THE LARGEST STRIKE THE COUNTRY HAS EVER SEEN. THEY'RE HOPING PARENTS WILL SHOW SUPPORT BY WALKING ALONGSIDE THEM TOMORROW, WHILE OTHERS WILL BE LEFT SCRAMBLING TO FIND A SOLUTION FOR CHILDCARE. MADDY LLOYD REPORTS. ON THE EVE OF THE COUNTRY'S LARGEST EDUCATION STRIKE IN HISTORY, THERE'S MORE TO WORRY ABOUT THAN JUST TEACHER WAGES. SPARE A THOUGHT FOR WORKING PARENTS. SOME PARENTS ARE LUCKY AND HAVE BEEN ABLE TO ASK THEIR EMPLOYERS IF THEY CAN TAKE THEIR KIDS TO WORK WITH THEM. BUT OTHERS HAVE REALLY STRUGGLED AND ARE HAVING TO TAKE TIME OFF WORK, POSSIBLY LOSING PAY, SO THIS IS A BIG DEAL FOR THEM. THERE ARE ALSO CONCERNS AROUND STUDENTS' WELLBEING. WHERE BOARDS FEEL THEY CANNOT MEET HEALTH AND SAFETY RULES AROUND KEEPING EVERY STUDENT SAFE, THEY WILL CLOSE THE DOORS. MEANING PARENTS WILL HAVE TO STEP IN. BUT TEACHERS SAY MOST ARE STILL SUPPORTING THE STRIKE. IT WAS A BIG DECISION FOR OUR STAFF, AND WE WERE HAVING TALKS ABOUT WHETHER TO STRIKE OR NOT. BUT WE KNEW WE HAD THE SUPPORT OF OUR PARENTS BEHIND US. SO EVEN THOUGH IT'S DIFFICULT FOR THEM, THEY ARE SUPPORTING US. SO EVEN THOUGH IT'S DIFFICULT FOR THEM, THEY ARE SUPPORTING US. COMMUNITIES BANDING TOGETHER TO GET THROUGH THE DAY. WHERE ONE PARENT IS LOOKING AFTER A NUMBER OF CHILDREN FROM OTHER FAMILIES. BUT IT'S FEARED FUTURE STRIKE ACTION COULD BE A DIFFERENT STORY. MOST PARENTS CAN WEAR ONE DAY. I'M NOT SURE THEY CAN WEAR ANY LONGER THAN THAT. IT IS A LOT MORE DIFFICULT TO PUT PROCESSES INTO PLACE FOR THREE TO FOUR DAYS, SO THAT'S SOMETHING ALL THIS ACTION FOR ONE SIMPLE REQUEST. WE WANT A COMMITMENT THAT ACTUALLY MAKES TEACHING A FIRST CHOICE CAREER. WE WANT TO BRING THE BRIGHTEST AND BEST PEOPLE INTO TEACHING. WE WANT TO SUPPORT THEM TO DO A GREAT JOB. A DAY OFF THE JOB IN HOPES OF SECURING A BETTER FUTURE FOR OUR TEACHERS AND CHILDREN'S EDUCATION. MADDY LLOYD, 1 NEWS. VOLUNTEERS ARE CALLING THE RUBBISH STREWN ALONG THE WEST COAST'S FOX RIVER 'AN ECOLOGICAL CRISIS', BUT THE LOCAL COUNCIL IS STOPPING THE CLEAN-UP BECAUSE IT'S RUNNING OUT OF MONEY. IT'S BEEN NINE WEEKS SINCE FLOODING CAUSED THE FOX RIVER LANDFILL TO OVERFLOW AND SPILL OUT ITS CONTENTS. RESIDENTS HAVE WORKED TIRELESSLY TO CLEAN UP THE CONTAMINATED RIVER, BUT THOSE ON THE GROUND SAY ONLY A FRACTION OF THE 25KM LONG STRETCH HAS BEEN CLEARED. GOVERNMENTS AND COUNCILS NOT BEING ABLE TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND SAY ALRIGHT, THIS IS WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE AND LET'S JUST GET IT DONE AND WE CAN WORRY ABOUT FINGER POINTING AND WHERE THE FUNDS ARE GOING TO COME FROM AFTERWARDS, BUT YOU KNOW, NINE WEEKS IN AND IT'S STILL LIKE THIS, AND WE'RE GETTING A CRAZY AMOUNT OF RAIN RIGHT NOW, SO IT'S MAKING ME CRINGE BECAUSE THIS STUFF COULD BE WASHING OUT. THE LANDFILL IS NOT STABLE RIGHT NOW SO IT COULD BE WASHING OUT AS WE SPEAK, WE HAVE NO IDEA AND EVERY BODY IS TOO BUSY WORRYING ABOUT WHO'S RESPONSIBILITY IT IS. I THINK IT'S EVERYBODY'S RESPONSIBILITY ` IT'S NEW ZEALAND. ENVIRONMENTAL EXPERTS HAVE DESCRIBED THE SPILL AS THE BIGGEST COASTAL ECO-DISASTER SINCE THE RENA OIL SPILL, BACK IN 2011. THE ASSOCIATE ENVIRONMENT MINISTER EUGENIE SAGE SAYS THE GOVERNMENT HAS ALREADY PROVIDED $300,000 FOR THE CLEAN UP, BUT THE WESTLAND DISTRICT COUNCIL SAYS IT NEEDS MORE FINANCIAL SUPPORT OR RESIDENTS WILL FACE AN INCREASE IN RATES. THEY'VE BEEN CHAOTIC SCENES THIS, MORNING AS PROTESTORS SUCCESSFULLY BLOCKADED A MINERALS' INDUSTRY CONFERENCE IN DUNEDIN. (PROTESTERS CHANT) GROUP: WE'RE NON VIOLENT! WE'RE NON VIOLENT! THREE PROTESTERS WERE ARRESTED FOR BREACHING THE BEACE, BUT NO CHARGES HAVE BEEN LAID. THE DISRUPTION DELAYED ATTENDEES FROM GETTING INTO THE TOWN HALL WITH POLICE AND SECURITY GUARDS STRUGGLING TO PUSH THROUGH AND REMOVE AROUND A HUNDRED PROTESTORS TO PROVIDE AN ESCORT INSIDE. MAYOR DAVE CULL WILL OUTLINE HIS COUNCIL'S ENVIRONMENTAL AND CLIMATE CHANGE POLICIES AT THE CONTENTIOUS FORUM TODAY. WELLINGTON POLICE HAVE ARRESTED 35 PEOPLE AND SEIZED $1M IN ASSETS AFTER SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETING A MEGA METH BUST. WITH OVER 200 CHARGES INCLUDING DISTRUBITION OF METH AND CANNABIS AND MONEY LAUNDERING. POLICE SAY THE SOCIAL COST OF THE METH CAUGHT HAS A VALUE OF OVER $4M. DESPITE YEARS OF WARNINGS, LITTLE HAS YET BEEN DONE TO TACKLE A LOOMING SHORTAGE OF LOCAL DOCTORS. NEARLY HALF OF THE COUNTRY'S GENERAL PRACTITIONERS ARE PLANNING TO RETIRE WITHIN THE NEXT 10 YEARS. AND THE UNDER-PRESSURE SECTOR IS CALLING ON THE GOVERNMENT TO INTERVENE. HELEN CASTLES REPORTS. DR KATHY BAKKE IS IN HER 60s AND STILL WORKS MORE THAN 40 HOURS A WEEK. IT'S NOT A CHOICE. SHE'S FLAT OUT, AND THERE IS NO ONE TO REPLACE HER. I TURN 65 ON MY NEXT BIRTHDAY, AND I'M NOT PLANNING TO RETIRE TILL I'M 70. I DON'T THINK ASKING SOMEBODY TO WORK BEYOND 70 IS PROBABLY A VERY NICE OR KIND THING TO DO. THERE'S A GP SHORTAGE NATIONWIDE, AND IT'S SET TO GET WORSE. THE COLLEGE OF GENERAL PRACTITIONERS SAYS IN 10 YEARS 2500 GPs WILL HAVE RETIRED. THAT'S ALMOST HALF OF THE CURRENT WORKFORCE. OVER THE YEARS, WE'VE HAD AN AGING WORKFORCE, AS THE BABY BOOMERS HAVE COME THROUGH. AND THEN ALSO THE NUMBER OF TRAINEES COMING INTO THE PROGRAMME HAS BEEN SHORT, AND SO THE WORKFORCE PLANNING, WHICH THE COLLEGE HAS GONE ON ABOUT FOR A LONG TIME, IS PART OF THE ISSUE. THERE ARE CURRENTLY 240 STUDENTS ENROLLED TO BECOME GPs. BUT THE COLLEGE ALSO WANTS TO KEEP HOLD OF THOSE PRACTISING. WE ALSO HAVE ASKED OUR GPs ABOUT WHAT WOULD ENABLE THEM TO STAY IN GENERAL PRACTICE. AND THERE'S A FEW STEPS ALONG THE WAY, WITH THINGS LIKE LESS WORKING HOURS, A LITTLE BIT MORE FLEXIBILITY WITH THEIR TIME. BUT DR KATHY SAYS SHE WON'T WORK PAST 70 AND SHOULDN'T HAVE TO. THIS ISN'T SOMETHING NEW. IT'S SOMETHING WE'VE ALREADY DONE, AND WE CAN'T DO IT FOREVER. WE NEED NEW DOCTORS. WE NEED AN ENVIRONMENT THAT ATTRACTS DOCTORS. IN THE FAR NORTH, A GP SHORTAGE HAS BECOME A CRISIS. HERE IN KAITAIA, THE MEDICAL CLINICS HAVE STOPPED TAKING NEW PATIENTS AND THOSE THAT ARE REGISTERED ARE WAITING UP TO FOUR WEEKS FOR AN APPOINTMENT. THIS IS REALLY SERIOUS. THIS IS A BIG DEAL. THIS IS PATIENTS NOT GETTING CARE. AND NOW THE GOVERNMENT IS BEING ASKED TO STEP IN. WE NEED MORE SUPPORT FOR GENERAL PRACTICE AND GENERAL PRACTITIONERS, AND THAT NEEDS TO COME FROM CENTRAL GOVERNMENT. A SERVICE IN NEED OF INTENSIVE CARE. HELEN CASTLES, 1 NEWS. TEN WEEKS ON FROM THE CLOSURE OF WELLINGTON'S UNSAFE CENTRAL LIBRARY AND THE PUBLIC HAVE BEEN GIVEN A NEW SPOT TO READ THEIR FAVOURITE BOOKS. THE FIRST WELLINGTON POP-UP LIBRARY ON MANNERS STREET IS NOW OPEN. THE OLD CENTRAL LIBRARY WAS CLOSED, AFTER ENGINEERS DEEMED IT EARTHQUAKE-PRONE WELLINGTON MAYOR JUSTIN LESTER SAYING THIS POP-UP WILL BE THE FIRST OF MANY. OVERSEAS NOW AND AN AMERICAN MAN HAS DIED CLIMBING MOUNT EVEREST, BRINGING THE DEATH TOLL TO 11 THIS YEAR. THE 62 YEAR OLD DIED WHILE DESCENDING FROM THE SUMMIT. HOWEVER, THE CIRCUMSTANCES SURROUNDING HIS DEATH ARE NOT CLEAR. THERE ARE CONCERNS OVERCROWDING IS PARTIALLY TO BLAME FOR THE RECORD NUMBER OF DEATHS, WITH REPORTS SOME HAVE DIED WHILE WAITING IN LONG QUEUES TRYING TO GET TO THE SUMMIT. LOTS OF PEOPLE DIED THIS YEAR, EVERYONE KNOWS, AND IT'S BEEN CARNAGE. AND I SHOULD SAY IT'S BECOME A DEATH RACE, BECAUSE IT'S BECOME A TRAFFIC JAM. PEOPLE ARE PUSHING THEMSELVES. PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT EVEN CAPABLE OF DOING IT, THEY DO IT, THEY TRY TO SUMMIT. THE DECEASED CLIMBER'S FAMILY SAY HE DIED DOING WHAT HE LOVED. TO THE EU PARLIAMENTARY ELECTIONS NOW. IN BRITAIN, NIGEL FARAGE'S BREXIT PARTY IS CELEBRATING VICTORY, WINNING NEARLY A THIRD OF THE VOTE. THERE WERE ALSO HUGE GAINS FOR THE LIBERAL DEMOCRATS, WHO WON IN LONDON AFTER CAMPAIGNING ON CALLS FOR A SECOND REFERENDUM AND A STRONG PRO-REMAIN MESSAGE. AND AS THE BBC'S TOM BARTON REPORTS, THE ELECTIONS HAD THE HIGHEST VOTER TURNOUT IN 20 YEARS. (CAMPAIGNERS EXCLAIM) TO THE WINNER OF THE SPOILS, IT WAS HIS VICTORY. NIGEL FARAGE'S BREXIT PARTY, MAYBE THE BRASHEST AND THE BOLDEST, WERE THE BIGGEST LAST NIGHT, DEMANDING WE LEAVE THE EU AS SOON AS HUMANLY POSSIBLE. ARE YOU WORRIED ABOUT THE DIVISIONS THAT WE SAW IN THE PHOTOS LAST NIGHT? YOU MAY NOT LIKE THE RESULT OF AN ELECTION, BUT IN A DEMOCRATIC SOCIETY, YOU ACCEPT THAT, AND YOU LIVE TO FIGHT ANOTHER DAY. WHAT WE'VE HAD SINCE THE REFERENDUM IS A LACK OF LEADER'S CONSENT FROM SOME VERY, VERY SIGNIFICANT PEOPLE IN BRITISH PUBLIC LIFE. BUT PARTIES WITH PRECISELY THE OPPOSITE MESSAGE WERE WINNERS, TOO. THE LIB DEMS WANT TO STOP BREXIT, AND WERE THE NEXT BIGGEST PARTY ` THE COUNTRY'S RESULTS, A CONTRADICTION. WE'RE CLEARLY NOW A MAJOR NATIONAL FORCE AGAIN, AND OUR NEXT BIG TASK IS TO WORK WITH OTHER PEOPLE IN OTHER PARTIES WHO ARE LIKEMINDED INITIALLY TO STOP BRITAIN CRUSHING OUT OF THE EUROPEAN UNION. JUST AS IN 2014, WHEN UKIP TOPPED THE POLL, NIGEL FARAGE'S EURO-SCEPTIC GROUP HOOVERED UP. COCK-A-HOOP, COCKY ENOUGH TO BOO A LABOUR CANDIDATE ONSTAGE AND TO CAUSE MAJOR MISERY TO THE TORIES, WHO HAD A HISTORICALLY AWFUL PERFORMANCE. MANY MPs THINK THE SEARCH SHOULD BE FOR WHO CAN STOP THE BREXIT PARTY. I'M DEEPLY SADDENED BY THE FACT THAT SO MANY CANDIDATES AND SO MANY ACTIVISTS WORKED SO HARD, AND WE DIDN'T GET THE RESULT THAT WE WANTED. AND ONE MESSAGE IS CLEAR FROM THESE RESULTS ` WE ABSOLUTELY NEED TO DELIVER BREXIT. NIGEL FARAGE AND THE OTHER SMALLER PARTIES HAVE HUMILIATED THE ESTABLISHED GROUPS, PERPLEXED BY BREXIT. VOTERS REWARDING POLITICIANS WHO'VE BEEN WILLING TO PICK A SIDE. WHAT'S BELIEVED TO BE THE CLEAREST EVER MOVING FOOTAGE OF QUEEN VICTORIA HAS BEEN DISCOVERED IN THE FILM ARCHIVE OF A MUSEUM IN NEW YORK. THE IMPORTANCE OF THE PIECE OF FILM WENT UNREALISED UNTIL A CURATOR FROM THE BRITISH FILM INSTITUTE SAW IT EARLIER THIS YEAR. HERE'S THE BBC'S SARAH CAMPBELL. QUEEN VICTORIA IN SHARPER FOCUS THAN EVER SEEN BEFORE. THIS WAS HER LAST TRIP TO IRELAND, IN 1900, AND IS BELIEVED TO BE THE LAST TIME SHE WAS FILMED BEFORE HER DEATH, LESS THAN A YEAR LATER. IT'S THE BEST VIEW YOU WILL EVER GET OF QUEEN VICTORIA IN MOVING PICTURES. THE FOOTAGE HAD BEEN STORED FOR DECADES IN NEW YORK'S MUSEUM OF MODERN ART. BUT IT WAS ONLY BRIONY DIXON, A CURATOR WITH THE BRITISH FILM INSTITUTE, WAS SHOWN IT, THAT ITS HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE WAS TRULY REALISED. I NEARLY FELL OF MY CHAIR, BECAUSE I'D NEVER SEEN QUEEN VICTORIA IN CLOSE-UP BEFORE. IT'S COMPLETELY UNIQUE, BECAUSE YOU CAN SEE THE QUEEN'S FACE FOR THE FIRST TIME, PROBABLY SINCE 1900, SINCE THIS WAS SHOWN. IT'S CLOSE UP, YOU CAN SEE EXPRESSIONS, YOU CAN SEE HER IN MOVEMENT, RATHER THAN JUST AS A STIFF PORTRAIT OR A STILL PHOTOGRAPH. QUEEN VICTORIA EMBRACED THE NEW MEDIUM OF FILM. SHE AND TSAR NICOLAS II WERE FILMED AT BALMORAL IN 1896, AND THE FOLLOWING YEAR, 40 CAMERAS WERE USED TO CAPTURE THE QUEEN'S DIAMOND JUBILEE. VERY MUCH FILM WAS AN EXTENSION OF A WHOLE SERIES OF IMAGE MAKING ABOUT QUEEN VICTORIA. IT MAKES HER SEEM REAL. IT MAKES HER SEEM REAL, AND SHE IS REAL. BUT WHAT SETS THIS FILM APART IS THE LEVEL OF DETAIL, AND THAT'S LARGELY DOWN TO THE FILM'S SIZE ` 69MM ON THE LEFT, AND THE RIGHT, THE FOOTAGE WAS FILMED IN 35MM, A CHEAPER FORMAT WHICH BECAME THE INDUSTRY STANDARD, DESPITE THE LOSS OF DETAIL. THE RESULT ` VERY FEW FILMS OF SUCH HIGH QUALITY MADE, AND NO OTHERS CAPTURES SO CLEARLY THIS LIVING, BREATHING, MOVING MONARCH. STILL TO COME ON MIDDAY ` THE NEW RESEARCH FROM AUSTRALIA PROVING OSTEOARTHRITIS CAN BE STOPPED AND EVEN REVERSED. WE TELL YOU HOW. IN SPORT, SUCCESS FOR OUR JUNIOR ALL WHITES, AS THEY SECURE A SPOT IN THE UNDER 20 WORLD CUP KNOCKOUT STAGE. WE HAVE ALL THE ACTION. A MIRACLE STEM CELL TREATMENT FOR OSTEOARTHRITIS IS GETTING PATIENTS OFF THE OPERATING TABLE AND BACK ON THEIR FEET. A TRIAL CONDUCTED IN AUSTRALIA HAS FOUND THAT TREATMENTS CAN REVERSE THE EFFECTS OF THE DEBILITATING CONDITION. CHANNEL NINE'S MARK SANTOMARTINO REPORTS. ZOE FAGAN WAS LIFTING WEIGHTS IN THE GYM WHEN HER LEFT KNEE SUDDENLY GAVE WAY. I SCARED THE POOR PERSONAL TRAINER WHEN I DROPPED THE BAR. AND THAT'S WHEN I KINDA THOUGHT, 'ACTUALLY, I THINK NEED TO SEE SOMEONE ABOUT THIS.' DIAGNOSED WITH OSTEOARTHRITIS AND FACING A FULL KNEE REPLACEMENT IN HER EARLY 40s, MUM ZOE TURNED TO STEM CELLS, ONE OF 30 PARTICIPANTS IN A NOW-PUBLISHED CLINICAL TRIAL CONDUCTED BY ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR JULIAN FREITAG, WHOSE TECHNIQUE HAS HELPED REGROW CARTILAGE IN THE KNEE OF KARATE CHAMPION SARAH HARRIS. MANY OF THESE PATIENTS WERE THINKING OF NEEDING TO RETIRE BECAUSE THEY HAD A PHYSICAL JOB. THEY'RE NO LONGER NEEDING TO RETIRE. THIS HAS REALLY CHANGED THEIR LIFE. THE TREATMENT TAKES EIGHT WEEKS TO CULTIVATE, UNDER THE MICROSCOPE OF SCIENTISTS HERE AT THE MELBOURNE STEM CELL CENTRE, AFTER THEY'RE HARVESTED FROM A PATIENTS OWN STOMACH TISSUE. I CAME IN, THEY TOOK ONLY A VERY SMALL AMOUNT OF FAT AWAY FROM ME, MUCH TO MY HORROR ` I WAS HOPING FOR A BIT OF LIPOSUCTION AT THE SAME TIME. KELLIE KLIMAN IS AMONG THE 85% OF PATIENTS WHO HAVE REPORTED A DRAMATIC DECREASE IN PAIN, WHO HAS REGROWN ENOUGH CARTILAGE TO START RUNNING AGAIN. I DREAM OF A HALF MARATHON. MIGHT COME TRUE ONE DAY. OUR EARLIEST PATIENT NOW IS AT FIVE YEARS OF FOLLOW-UP AND STILL PAIN FREE. SO RATHER THAN A STOP-GAP, I HOPE THIS ACTUALLY MEANS THAT WE WILL NOT BE NEEDING TO CONSIDER KNEE REPLACEMENT AT ALL FOR MANY PATIENTS. TREATMENT CURRENTLY COSTS MORE THAN $8000, WITH FURTHER TRIALS UNDERWAY. TO SPORT, AND NEW ZEALAND HAS PROGRESSED INTO THE KNOCKOUT STAGES FOR A THIRD CONSECUTIVE MEN'S UNDER-20s WORLD CUP. THE JUNIOR ALL WHITES CAME UP AGAINST NORWAY IN THEIR SECOND GROUP MATCH OF THE TOURNAMENT. AFTER 71 GOALLESS MINUTES OF FOOTBALL, NEW ZEALAND EMPHATICALLY BROKE THE DEADLOCK. THREE PLAYERS UP IN THE PENALTY AREA. AGAIN, IT DEPENDS ON WHERE IT BREAKS. OH! THAT IS A ROCKET OF A GOAL! A FANTASTIC HIT. IT'S GOTTA BE ONE OF THE BEST GOALS OF THIS UNDER-20 WORLD CUP OF 2019. THE KIWIS THEN DOUBLED THEIR LEAD EIGHT MINUTES FROM TIME TO SEAL A 2-0 WIN. HE ROMPS ON BEYOND THE FIRST DEFENDER. PLAYS THE BALL INFIELD. IS THIS GOAL NUMBER TWO FOR NEW ZEALAND? IT IS! IT MAY HAVE GONE IN OF KITOLANO. JUST, I THINK, IS CLAIMING IT. BUT NEW ZEALAND LOOK AS THOUGH THEY'RE ON THE WAY HERE. STAR GOAL SCORER GIANNI STENSNESS PROUD OF HIS STUNNING STRIKE. IT KIND OF JUST POPPED DOWN, AND IT WAS JUST SITTING ON THE EDGE AND IT JUST LOOKED SO ATTRACTIVE ` I JUST HIT IT, AND I WAS GOING FOR THAT TOP BINS AND YOU KNOW, YOU NEVER REALLY EXPECT THOSE TO GO IN, I GUESS, BUT THAT ONE JUST` I JUST HIT IT PERFECTLY, AND THEN IT WAS KIND OF A DREAM FROM THERE. DIDN'T REALLY FEEL REAL, AND I WAS RUNNING OFF CELEBRATING. NEW ZEALAND FACE URUGUAY ON FRIDAY, TO DETERMINE WHO QUALIFIES TOP FROM THE GROUP. STILL WITH FOOTBALL AND ASTON VILLA HAVE EARNED PROMOTION INTO THE PREMIER LEAGUE, WORTH AN ESTIMATED $330 MILLION. VILLA BEAT DERBY COUNTY 2-1 IN THEIR CHAMPIONSHIP PLAY-OFF, MUCH TO THE DELIGHT OF ONE BRITISH ROYAL. THE BBC'S PATRICK GEARY EXPLAINS. ROLL UP, ROLL UP, FOR WEMBLEY'S BIG BANK HOLIDAY GIVE AWAY. ONE LUCKY WINNER OF DARBY COUNTY AND ASTON VILLA GETS A TRIP TO THE PREMIER LEAGUE, AND WITH IT AT LEAST �170 MILLION OVER THREE YEARS. IF YOU STAY UP FOR ONE SEASON, THAT BECOMES 300 MILLION. IT MAKES THE 6.6 MILLION GOING TO NEXT WEEKEND'S CHAMPION WINNERS LOOK LIKE PEANUTS. SO, WHO WANTS TO BE A MULTI-MILLIONAIRE? VILLA BUZZED FIRST. ON THE BRINK OF THE BREAK, AND WITH EL GHAZI, THE SCORER, WITH HIS SHOULDER. IT'S WHERE IT ENDS UP THAT COUNTS. DERBY'S BOSS, FRANK LAMPARD, WON ALMOST EVERYTHING AS A PLAYER, BUT THE TOUCHLINE CAN BE A HELPLESS PLACE. HE COULD ONLY WATCH HIS GOALKEEPER KELLE ROOS DO THIS... AND IT'S GONNA GO IN! OWN GOAL ` BEYOND ANYONE'S PLAN, BEYOND ANYONE'S CONTROL. DERBY HAD 20 MINUTES TO SAVE THEIR SEASON AND THEY GAVE IT ALL THEY HAD. JACK MARRIOTT'S SHOT TOUCHED IN BY MARTYN WAGHORN, TOOK THIS TO THE WIRE. VILLA LOST THIS MATCH LAST SEASON, IT WAS WRITTEN ON THE FACE OF EVEN THEIR MOST FAMOUS FAN, BUT THE EQUALISER NEVER CAME. (WHISTLE BLOWS) FOR ALL THE TALK OF MONEY, THE PLAY OFF FINAL IS ABOUT SO MUCH MORE THAN THAT. FOR A FEW MOMENTS, EVEN A PRINCE SAW THESE MEN AS KINGS. SO ASTON VILLA, ONE OF THE BEST KNOWN NAMES IN ENGLISH FOOTBALL, ARE BACK IN THE BIGTIME. THE GAP BETWEEN THE FOOTBALL LEAGUE AND THE PREMIER LEAGUE HAS PERHAPS NEVER BEEN BIGGER, BUT VILLA HAS LEAPT ACROSS THE CHASM. TO THE FRENCH TENNIS OPEN AND SERENA WILLIAMS HAD TO FIGHT TO EARN A SPOT IN THE SECOND ROUND. WILLIAMS WAS STUNNED EARLY AGAINST HER 83RD RANKED RUSSIAN OPPONENT, DROPPING THE FIRST SET. BUT THE AMERICAN TURNED THINGS AROUND TO WIN IN THREE SETS. (GRUNTS) COMPREHENSIVE TURNAROUND, SHOWING HER CLASS IN THE THIRD SET, SERENA WILLIAMS, THE THREE TIMES CHAMPION. IN THE MEN'S DRAW WORLD NUMBER ONE, NOVAK DJOKOVIC POWERED PAST HIS GERMAN RIVAL TO MAKE THE NEXT ROUND. HE'LL BE JOINED BY 11 TIME ROLAND GARROS CHAMPION RAFA NADAL WHO ALSO EASED INTO THE SECOND ROUND IN STRAIGHT SETS. STILL TO COME ON MIDDAY, I'LL BE BACK WITH THE AFTERNOON WEATHER. ELLA YELICH O'CONNOR ` STAGE NAME LORDE ` WITH YOUR WEATHER. (LORDE'S 'ROYALS') THANKS FOR JOINING US. FROM THE 1 NEWS MIDDAY TEAM, GOOD AFTERNOON.
