TONIGHT, A WARNING OVER THE STATE OF STAFFING IN OUR MENTAL HEALTH FACILITIES, AFTER A WOMAN WAS RAPED BY A PSYCHOTIC MAN WHO'D SOUGHT TREATMENT. 'INEPT' AND 'INCOMPETENT' ` JUST SOME OF THE INSULTS DIRECTED AT THE US PRESIDENT BY THE BRITISH AMBASSADOR, AS FULL DETAILS OF LEAKED EMAILS ARE REVEALED. PLUS A PLAGUE OF MONSTER RATS IN THE CAPITAL. NOW, AN ERADICATION PROGRAM IS GOING ALL OUT TO TRAP THE RODENTS. CAPTIONS BY CAMERON GRIGG AND CATHERINE DE CHALAIN. CAPTIONS WERE MADE WITH THE SUPPORT OF NZ ON AIR. WWW.ABLE.CO.NZ COPYRIGHT ABLE 2019 KIA ORA, GOOD EVENING. A GRIM WARNING TONIGHT FOLLOWING CONCERNS RAISED BY A NELSON WOMAN SEXUALLY ASSAULTED BY A PSYCHOTIC MAN ` THAT THERE'LL BE MORE SIMILAR ATTACKS IF MENTAL HEALTH UNITS AREN'T PROPERLY RESOURCED. THIS STORY BY KAITLIN RUDDOCK CONTAINS DISTRESSING THEMES. SARAH PREECE'S WORLD WAS SHATTERED THE DAY SHE WAS ATTACKED AND RAPED AT HOME BY A STRANGER. THE DHB HAVE TREATED ME AS SOMEBODY WHO DOESN'T MATTER. IN THE TWO YEARS SINCE, SHE'S BEEN TRYING TO PIECE TOGETHER HOW IT COULD HAVE HAPPENED WHEN HER PERPETRATOR, IN A PSYCHOTIC STATE, SOUGHT HELP FROM NELSON HOSPITAL ONLY HOURS EARLIER. REALLY, THOSE TRAGIC EVENTS SHOULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED. YET THE UNION REPRESENTING MENTAL HEALTH WORKERS IS CONCERNED THEY'LL ONLY BE REPEATED. THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN SOME CHANGES THEY'VE MADE TO TRY AND ENSURE THAT THINGS LIKE THIS DON'T HAPPEN AGAIN, BUT THE THING THAT HAS NOT CHANGED IS THAT THE NUMBERS OF PEOPLE THAT ARE EMPLOYED, THE ADDITIONAL RESOURCES THAT NEEDS TO GO AND HAVE NOT GONE IN. THE NELSON MARLBOROUGH DHB BEGAN REVIEWING ITS SERVICES BACK IN 2016, MORE THAN A YEAR BEFORE THE ATTACK. THE PSA FOUGHT AGAINST A ROSTER RESHUFFLE OF THE COMMUNITY MENTAL HEALTH TEAMS AND CALLED FOR MORE WORKERS TO BE RECRUITED INSTEAD. THE TURNOVER OF STAFF HAS BEEN HORRENDOUS IN THE LAST 18 MONTHS, WHERE ALMOST 80% OF THE WORKFORCE HAS CHANGED. AFTER MS PREECE SHARED HER STORY WITH THE SUNDAY PROGRAMME, 1 NEWS SPOKE TO A NELSON MAN ABOUT HIS RECENT EXPERIENCE AT ED, WHERE A YOUNG WOMAN WAS BROUGHT IN BY POLICE. SHE LOOKED QUITE DISTRESSED. THEY WENT TO THE RECEPTION, AND I OVERHEARD THE POLICE OFFICER TALKING QUITE LOUDLY TO THEM ABOUT THE FACT SHE WAS SUICIDAL AND HER FAMILY WERE VERY CONCERNED FOR HER SAFETY. SHE WAS MADE TO SIT IN THE WAITING ROOM FOR APPROXIMATELY TWO HOURS BEFORE I WENT IN FOR TREATMENT. ONE OF THE THINGS WE'RE WORKING ON IS PILOTING A NEW RESOURCE TO ENHANCE THE OBSERVATIONS OF PEOPLE WHO MAY BE AT RISK OF MENTAL HEALTH DETERIORATIONS. THEY ACTUALLY HURT ME WHERE THEY SHOULD HAVE TRIED TO HELP AND HEAL ME. THE NUMBER OF STAFF HASN'T CHANGED SINCE THE ATTACK, BUT THE HEALTH BOARD BELIEVES SOLUTIONS AREN'T IN THE NUMBERS BUT HOW THEY MEET A WIDE RANGE OF NEEDS. KAITLIN RUDDOCK, 1 NEWS. DAME TARIANA TURIA HAS SPOKEN OUT ABOUT ORANGA TAMARIKI'S PRACTICE OF REMOVING BABIES FROM THEIR MOTHERS. THE ORGANISATION'S CURRENTLY THE SUBJECT OF SEVERAL INVESTIGATIONS OR INQUIRIES ` ONE BY THE CHIEF OMBUDSMAN, ONE BY THE CHILDREN'S COMMISSIONER, AND AN INTERNAL INVESTIGATION. THE FORMER MAORI PARTY LEADER TOLD TVNZ'S Q+A PROGRAMME WHILE REMOVAL IS SOMETIMES NECESSARY, CHILDREN SHOULD STILL BE IN THE CARE OF FAMILY. IT'S DISGRACEFUL, BECAUSE IT BASICALLY DISCONNECTS THAT CHILD FROM THAT MOTHER. IT DISCONNECTS THE MOTHER FROM THAT CHILD. THE CHILD WILL NEVER, EVER GAIN THAT SENSE OF WHO THEY ARE. ORANGA TAMARIKI SAYS IT USUALLY GETS CHILDREN BACK WITH THEIR FAMILIES WITHIN ONE YEAR. AN AUCKLAND COUPLE REMAIN IN A CRITICAL CONDITION IN MIDDLEMORE HOSPITAL TONIGHT AFTER THEY WERE FOUND UNCONSCIOUS IN THEIR PAPATOETOE HOME THIS MORNING. THE PAIR WERE FOUND BY A FAMILY MEMBER WITH CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING AFTER USING A BRAZIER IN THEIR BEDROOM. THE COUPLE'S SON TOLD 1 NEWS HIS PARENTS WERE USING THE CHARCOAL BURNER TO HEAT MASSAGE OILS FOR A NEWBORN BABY. MY BROTHER RANG ME, AND HE FOUND MUM AND DAD, AND THEY WOULD NOT WAKE UP AND DIDN'T GO IN TO WORK. AND HE RANG ME, AND HE SAW VOMIT ON THE BED AS WELL. THE FIRE SERVICE SAYS THE INCIDENT IS A REMINDER THAT BRAZIERS, GAS COOKERS, BARBEQUES AND OUTDOOR HEATERS SHOULD ONLY BE USED OUTSIDE IN WELL-VENTILATED AREAS. A STRING OF LIQUOR SHOPS IN AUCKLAND HAVE CLOSED THEIR DOORS FOLLOWING TWO ARMED ROBBERIES. A DECISION WAS MADE THIS AFTERNOON TO TEMPORARILY CLOSE 21 WEST LIQUOR AND VILLAGE WINE AND SPIRITS OUTLETS. TE ATATU VILLAGE AND WEST LIQUOR NEW LYNN WERE BOTH ROBBED OVER THE WEEKEND. WHILE NO WORKERS WERE PHYSICALLY HURT, THE CHAIN'S OWNER SAYS SAFETY COMES FIRST FOR STAFF AND CUSTOMERS. THE CLOSURES WILL BE RE-EXAMINED TOMORROW. RESIDENTS IN INDONESIA'S NORTH EAST HAVE BEEN FORCED TO RUN FOR HIGHER GROUND WHEN A 7.1 MAGNITUDE EARTHQUAKE STRUCK OFF THE COAST, TRIGGERING A BRIEF TSUNAMI WARNING. THE QUAKE STRUCK NEAR THE DISASTER RAVAGED ISLAND OF SULAWESI, BUT THERE ARE NO REPORTS OF DAMAGE OR INJURY. 'A PRESIDENCY THAT MAY CRASH AND BURN', AND 'A KNIFE FIGHT IN THE WHITE HOUSE.' JUST TWO OF THE INSULTS THE UK AMBASSADOR TO THE UNITED STATES HAS DIRECTED AT DONALD TRUMP IN LEAKED MEMOS. THE PRESIDENT REACTED TO THE DIPLOMATIC MESS, SAYING HE'S NOT A FAN OF THE AMBASSADOR. CHANNEL NINE'S ALEXIS DAISH HAS MORE. NOT EXACTLY A GLOWING REPORT FOR DONALD TRUMP, ESPECIALLY FROM BRITAIN'S AMBASSADOR TO THE US. SIR KIM DARROCH HAS BEEN DISHING THE DIRT ON DONALD IN SECRET MEMOS THAT HAVE ALL NOW BEEN LEAKED. THE MESSAGES GO BACK AS FAR AS 2017, FROM SLAMMING TRUMP'S IRAN STRATEGY AS INCOHERENT AND CHAOTIC, TO PREDICTING DISGRACE AND DOWNFALL FOR THE PRESIDENT. HE WRITES THAT TRUMP... ...IN SPEECHES. DESCRIBING THE PRESIDENT'S ABILITY TO DISMISS SCANDALS, SIR KIM SAYS... ...AND HE TELLS BRITISH OFFICIALS, IN ORDER TO DEAL WITH HIM,... BREXIT PARTY LEADER NIGEL FARAGE ISSUED TWITTER ATTACKS ON TRUMP'S BEHALF. BUT FORMER CABINET MINSTER SIR MALCOLM RIFKIND DEFENDED HIM. THE WHOLE JOB OF AN AMBASSADOR IS TO GIVE A CANDID VIEW TO HIS GOVERNMENT BACK HOME ` IN THIS CASE, IN LONDON ` ABOUT, IN THIS CASE, THE WHITE HOUSE AND PRESIDENT TRUMP. THESE LEAKED DOCUMENTS ARE NOT ONLY EMBARRASSING FOR THE UK, BUT ALSO TERRIBLE TIMING. AS BRITAIN PREPARES TO LEAVE THE EUROPEAN UNION, A SOLID RELATIONSHIP WITH THE US IS CRITICAL FOR A FREE TRADE DEAL ` SOMETHING DONALD TRUMP PLAYS HARDBALL ON AT THE BEST OF TIMES. ONLY A MONTH AGO, THE TWO COUNTRIES COZIED UP AT BUCKINGHAM PALACE, WHERE TRUMP TOASTED THE QUEEN AND AN ETERNAL FRIENDSHIP. HUGE PRESSURE IS BEING PLACED ON THE COUNTIES MANUKAU HOSPITAL SERVICE FROM A GROWING NUMBER OF MORBIDLY OBESE PATIENTS. IT'S HAVING TO KEEP PATIENTS IN HOSPITAL, SOMETIMES FOR MONTHS, BECAUSE OF A SHORTAGE OF SUITABLE OUTPATIENT CARE. NICOLE BREMNER REPORTS. EQUIPMENT FOR OBESE PATIENTS KEEPS ROLLING OUT AT MIDDLEMORE HOSPITAL. THIS BED IS CAPABLE OF HOLDING UP TO 450kg. THE COMMODE BUILT FOR PATIENTS WEIGHING UP TO 320kg. COSTLY STUFF FOR A HOSPITAL ALREADY UNDER FINANCIAL STRESS AND IN AN AREA WITH NEARLY TWICE AS MANY MORBIDLY OBESE PEOPLE AS ANY OTHER DHB IN THE COUNTRY. THAT CLOGS UP YOUR SYSTEM, SO IT'S TAKING LONGER TO DO PROCEDURES. PEOPLE ARE QUITE OFTEN MORE COMPLEX IN THEIR HEALTH NEEDS, SO THEY NEED OTHER THINGS. A RECENT DHB REPORT SHOWS THE COUNTIES MANUKAU CATCHMENT AREA IS HOME TO 36,000 MORBIDLY OBESE ADULTS, 8000 HIGHER THAN EXPECTED, THAT OBESE PATIENTS ARE PRONE TO ACUTE BONE AND JOINT INJURIES, HAVE DIAGNOSTIC LIMITATIONS WITH CT AND MRI SCANS, NEED EXTRA STAFF FOR SAFE CARE, AND HAVE HIGHER LEVELS OF DISEASE, PAIN AND INFECTION, AND IT DOESN'T STOP THERE. WE HAVE A PROBLEM LIKE OBESITY THAT IMPACTS THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE WITH DIABETES ` AROUND 45,000 PEOPLE WITH DIABETES. WE HAVE THE BUSIEST DIALYSIS UNIT. BUT TURNING WHAT'S NOW A GLOBAL EPIDEMIC AROUND ISN'T EASY OR QUICK. IN AMERICA, SOME STATES HAVE PURPOSE-BUILT HOSPITALS FOR THE SPECIFIC NEEDS OF THE CHRONICALLY OBESE. IF HE WERE A THINNER PERSON AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED, WE PROBABLY WOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO DO IT ALL IN ONE OPERATION. BECAUSE HE'S A LARGER PERSON, THAT MADE US WANT TO OPERATE ON HIM MORE THAN ONE TIME. BUT IT'S NOT AN APPROACH ENDORSED HERE, DESPITE FOUR SEVERELY OVERWEIGHT PATIENTS BEING STUCK AT MIDDLEMORE HOSPITAL FOR MONTHS DUE TO AN ACUTE SHORTAGE OF THE SPECIALIST CARE THEY NEED OUTSIDE HOSPITAL. I THINK IT'S QUITE STIGMATISING TO HAVE OBESITY AS A DISORDER, AND TO GO TO A SEPARATE HOSPITAL WOULD BE EVEN MORE SO. WE NEED TO LOOK AT HOW WE WORK TOGETHER AS FAMILIES AND COMMUNITIES TO PREVENT PEOPLE FROM BECOMING OBESE, RATHER THAN BUILDING HOSPITAL SYSTEMS TO COPE WITH EVER MORE OBESE PEOPLE. THE GOVERNMENT SAYS THERE'S LIKELY TO BE MORE PREVENTATIVE FUNDING IN A NEW FUND ANNOUNCED IN THE BUDGET. BUT SPECIALISTS AREN'T HOLDING THEIR BREATH ` OBESITY JUST ONE PROBLEM OF MANY. NICOLE BREMNER, 1 NEWS. RATS UP TO HALF A METRE IN SIZE ARE PLAGUING THE CAPITAL, WHERE THE BIGGEST EVER URBAN OPERATION TO RID THE COUNTRY OF RATS, STOATS AND POSSUMS IS UNDERWAY. AND JUST A WARNING ` YOU MAY FIND SOME IMAGES IN THIS STORY DISTURBING IF YOU'RE A WEE BIT SQUEAMISH. HERE'S CUSHLA NORMAN. ARMED WITH TRAPS, THE WAR ON PREDATORS HITTING THE STREETS OF SUBURBIA. FIRST UP, THE HAMMOND HOUSEHOLD. BAIT SITS IN THE MIDDLE. THAT'S THE ONE. THE BAIT LAID ` PEANUT BUTTER AND DEHYDRATED MEAT. SO THIS WILL KIND OF LURE THEM IN. THEY WILL CATCH STOATS AND WEASELS AND RATS, WHICH ARE THE MAIN BIG THREE THAT WE ARE GOING FOR IN THIS ERADICATION. NEARLY EVERY FOURTH HOME ON WELLINGTON'S MIRAMAR PENINSULA WILL HAVE A TRAP. POSSUMS ARE ALREADY ERADICATED, AND BACKYARD TRAPPERS ARE MAKING GROUND AGAINST OTHERS. JUST BEHIND THAT FENNEL BUSH, YOU'LL JUST SEE A TUI HAVING A FEED THERE. THERE HE IS ` RIGHT THERE. BIRDLIFE HAS BEEN FLOURISHING SINCE WADE HAMMOND STARTED TRAPPING. IN THREE MONTHS, HE'S CAUGHT ABOUT 300 RODENTS. EVEN ONE OF OUR OLDEST SPECIES IS MAKING A COMEBACK. THE RATS AND THE HEDGEHOGS ABSOLUTELY LOVE THEM, SO, YOU KNOW, IT'S GOOD TO HAVE THEM COMING BACK. BIG WETA IS PERFECT. ABOUT 25 MILLION NATIVE BIRDS ARE KILLED EACH YEAR BY RATS, POSSUMS AND STOATS. RAT NUMBERS HAVE BEEN AT A RECORD HIGH ACROSS THE COUNTRY, AND HERE IN WELLINGTON, BACKYARD TRAPPERS HAVE BEEN CATCHING HUGE ONES, LIKE THIS. IT'S 50CM LONG AND WEIGHS HALF A KILOGRAM. AND HE HAD, LIKE, A RAT TAIL STICKING OUT OF HIS MOUTH AS WELL, (CHUCKLES) SO HE WAS A WHOPPER. SO I THINK THERE ARE THESE BIG ONES LURKING AROUND. THE GOAL IS FOR THE 1000HA PENINSULA TO BE RID OF PESTS BY CHRISTMAS ` A SMALL PIECE OF THE TOTAL 50,000HA THE GOVERNMENT'S TARGETING TO BE PREDATOR-FREE BY 2050. CUSHLA NORMAN, 1 NEWS. STILL TO COME ` FOUR WORLD CUP VICTORIES FOR THE U.S. WOMEN'S FOOTBALL TEAM, BUT COULD THEIR NEXT WIN BE IN EQUAL PAY? AND THEN A HERO COMES ALONG. MARIAH CAREY NAILS THE LATEST INTERNET CRAZE ` THE BOTTLE CAP CHALLENGE. THEY COLLECT OUR RUBBISH AND DEAL WITH POTHOLES, BUT THE 78 COUNCILS AROUND THE COUNTRY ARE ALSO GRAPPLING WITH BIG-PICTURE ISSUES LIKE CLIMATE CHANGE AND WATER. DRINKING WATER, WASTE AND STORM WATER WERE IN THE SPOTLIGHT AT THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT CONFERENCE IN WELLINGTON TODAY. KATIE BRADFORD WAS THERE. THE RACE TO FIGHT CLIMATE CHANGE PUTTING PRESSURE ON MAYORS AND COUNCILS,... (CHEERING) ...WITH THE NEXT GENERATION SENDING A CLEAR MESSAGE. YOU GUYS LITERALLY HAVE OUR FUTURE IN YOUR HANDS, RIGHT? SO IF YOU'RE THINKING ABOUT THE DECISIONS THAT YOU'RE MAKING, ARE YOU CONSIDERING THE IMPACT THAT IT HAS ON US? COUNCILS FACE BILLS RUNNING INTO THE BILLIONS TO FIGHT THE IMPACT OF CLIMATE CHANGE, AND SOME HAVE DECLARED A CLIMATE EMERGENCY. I DO THINK THERE'S A BENEFIT IN DECLARING A CLIMATE EMERGENCY. IT UNDERSCORES THE URGENCY AND CATALYSES URGENT ACTION. ON THE WEST COAST, WEATHER EVENTS LIKE 2018'S CYCLONE GITA CONTINUE TO HAVE AN IMPACT. WE HAD A COMMUNITY AT GRANITY WHERE THE SEA WENT THROUGH QUITE A FEW OF THE HOUSES. THAT COMMUNITY ARE LOW SOCIOECONOMIC, FIXED INCOMES, AND THEY DON'T HAVE A LOT OF CHOICE. SO BULLER COUNCIL'S FORMED A CLIMATE GROUP TO LOOK AT THOSE ISSUES. WE'RE A SMALL COUNCIL, BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN WE CAN IGNORE IT. WE LACK CAPACITY, PROBABLY, TO DEAL WITH IT OURSELVES. THOSE PROBLEMS ARE A KEY PART OF THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT ANNUAL MEETING IN WELLINGTON. CLIMATE CHANGE IS A SLOW BURNER, BUT WE DON'T WANT TO DO NOTHING. SO THE POINT OF IT IS THAT WE HAVE STARTED WITH LOCAL GOVERNMENT TO HAVE THE NECESSARY CONVERSATION. ALL EYES HERE ARE ALSO ON THE UPCOMING RELEASE BY THE GOVERNMENT OF ITS REVIEW INTO THREE WATERS. THAT'S WIDELY EXPECTED TO CONTAIN THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A NEW DRINKING WATER REGULATOR. ITS ROLE WILL BE TO CREATE NEW DRINKING WATER STANDARDS TO ENSURE IT'S SAFE ACROSS THE COUNTRY. WHAT WAS MISSING IN THE PAST WAS A SET OF ROBUST AND CLEAR STANDARDS, AND ALSO ENFORCEMENT OF THOSE STANDARDS. THE OTHER PART OF THE REVIEW WILL FOCUS ON STORM WATER AND WASTEWATER AND COULD BE MORE CONTROVERSIAL. BUT LOCAL GOVERNMENT REPRESENTATIVES NOW MOVE ON TO ANOTHER RACE ` (CHEERING) THE FIGHT TO BE RE-ELECTED COME OCTOBER. KATIE BRADFORD, 1 NEWS. STEVIE WONDER'S TAKING A BREAK FROM PERFORMING TO HAVE A KIDNEY TRANSPLANT. THE 25-TIME GRAMMY WINNER MAKING THE ANNOUNCEMENT WHILE PERFORMING IN LONDON'S HYDE PARK OVER THE WEEKEND. HE SAYS HE'S SPEAKING OUT TO REASSURE FANS THAT HE'S GOING TO BE OK. YOU AIN'T GOT TO HEAR NO RUMOURS ABOUT NOTHING. I TOLD YOU WHAT'S UP. I'M GOOD. ALL RIGHT? THE 69-YEAR-OLD CONFIRMING A DONOR'S BEEN FOUND, AND HE'LL UNDERGO SURGERY IN SEPTEMBER. THEY'VE CONQUERED THE WORLD ONCE AGAIN. NOW THE UNITED STATES WOMEN'S FOOTBALL TEAM HAS ANOTHER GOAL IN ITS SIGHTS ` EQUAL PAY WITH THEIR MALE COUNTERPARTS. CHRIS CHANG REPORTS. IT'S 1-0. THE FACE OF THE TOURNAMENT SCORES THE FIRST GOAL... THE FACE OF THE TOURNAMENT, AND INCREASINGLY THE VOICE OF WOMEN'S FOOTBALL ` MEGAN RAPINOE FIRING THE UNITED STATES TO VICTORY OVER THE NETHERLANDS AND A FOURTH WORLD TITLE. (CHEERING) THE CAPTAIN THEN TAKING AIM AT FIFA OFFICIALS OVER EQUAL PAY WITH THEIR MALE COUNTERPARTS. I THINK EVERYONE IS READY FOR THIS CONVERSATION TO MOVE TO THE NEXT STEP. I THINK WE'RE DONE WITH THE 'ARE WE WORTH IT? SHOULD WE HAVE EQUAL PAY?' FANS MAKING THEIR FEELINGS KNOWN TO FIFA'S PRESIDENT. CROWD CHANTS: EQUAL PAY! EQUAL PAY! THE AMERICAN SIDE WILL POCKET $6m FOR ITS EFFORTS, AROUND A TENTH OF THE $57m THE FRENCH MEN'S TEAM WON LAST YEAR. HOW DID THAT EQUAL PAY CHANT MAKE YOU FEEL? YEAH, PRETTY GOOD, PRETTY GOOD. WE'VE GOT THE WORLD BEHIND US. WINNING TODAY WAS MORE THAN WINNING THE WORLD CUP FINAL TODAY FOR THEM. IT WAS WINNING THE ABILITY TO SAY, 'LOOK, WE DESERVE TO BE TREATED EQUALLY. 'WE DESERVE TO REPRESENT WHAT WOMEN CAN DO IN SPORT.' THE OUTSPOKEN RAPINOE IS NO STRANGER TO POLITICAL BATTLES. HER REFUSAL TO SING THE NATIONAL ANTHEM A CONTINUING PROTEST IN SUPPORT OF NFL STAR COLIN KAEPERNICK. COMMENTS FROM SIX MONTHS AGO SURFACED DURING THE TOURNAMENT. (SCOFFS) I'M NOT GOING TO THE (BLEEP) WHITE HOUSE. NO, I'M NOT GOING TO THE WHITE HOUSE. WE'RE NOT GOING TO BE INVITED. THOSE REMARKS AGITATING THE PRESIDENT, WHO FIRED BACK. SUGGESTING RAPINOE SHOULD NEVER DISRESPECT THE COUNTRY OR THE WHITE HOUSE. SHE CERTAINLY WON, WINNING THE GOLDEN BOOT AND GOLDEN BALL FOR BEST PLAYER. EVERY PLAYER AT THIS WORLD CUP PUT ON THE MOST INCREDIBLE SHOW THAT YOU COULD EVER ASK FOR. WE CAN'T DO ANYTHING MORE. RAPINOE NOW HOPING HER BIGGEST PLATFORM YET WILL HELP LEVEL THE PLAYING FIELD FOR THE WOMEN'S GAME. CHRIS CHANG, 1 NEWS. IT WOULDN'T BE AN AMERICAN SUMMER WITHOUT A NEW VIRAL INTERNET CHALLENGE. THIS YEAR IT'S CALLED 'THE BOTTLE CAP CHALLENGE'. CELEBRITIES FROM MARIAH CAREY, JASON STATHAM AND EVEN NEW ZEALAND'S VERY OWN POLICE FORCE HAVE GIVEN IT A GO. EMILY VAN VELTHOOVEN EXPLAINS.
