IT'S MIDDAY. A WEDDING CELEBRATION TURNS TO TRAGEDY AS A BUS CARRYING GUESTS OVERTURNS KILLING 10. A WARNING ` DON'T EXPECT RELIEF AT THE SUPERMARKET CHECKOUT ANY TIME SOON, PLUS ` HOW ONE COMMUNITY'S TRYING TO EASE THE BURDEN. AND NOVAK DJOKOVIC MAKES HISTORY AT THE FRENCH OPEN WITH A 23RD GRAND SLAM TITLE. CAPTIONS BY LENA ERAKOVICH AND KRISTIN WILLIAMS. CAPTIONS WERE MADE WITH THE SUPPORT OF NZ ON AIR. WWW.ABLE.CO.NZ COPYRIGHT ABLE 2023 KIA ORA. GOOD AFTERNOON. 10 PEOPLE HAVE BEEN KILLED AND ALMOST A DOZEN INJURED AFTER A BUS TRANSPORTING WEDDING GUESTS IN NEW SOUTH WALES ROLLED AT A ROUNDABOUT. THE INCIDENT HAPPENED NEAR THE TOWN OF GRETA IN THE HUNTER VALLEY. THE AREA IS FAMOUS FOR WINERIES AND WEDDING VENUES ` THESE ARE 6 SPOTS NEARBY TO WHERE THE CRASH OCCURRED. SINCE THE INCIDENT, THE BUS DRIVER'S BEEN ARRESTED BY POLICE. HERE'S CHANNEL NINE'S HAYLEY FRANCIS WITH MORE DETAILS. THIS IS ONE OF MULTIPLE HOSPITALS WHERE WEDDING GUESTS WERE RUSHED TO. THE 57 SEAT BUS WAS TAKING MORE THAN 30 PEOPLE FROM THE WEDDING TO THEIR ACCOMMODATION AROUND 1130 LAST NIGHT, SOMEHOW THE BUS DRIVER LOST CONTROL. A LARGE-SCALE EMERGENCY RESPONSE SAW POLICE FIRE AND RESCUE, CONTROL. FORENSIC INVESTIGATORS ARE COLLECTING EVERY PIECE OF EVIDENCE THEY CAN. AS FOR THE 58-YEAR-OLD BUS RIDER, HE WAS TAKEN TO HOSPITAL WHERE HE WAS GIVEN MANDATORY TESTING, AND POLICE SAY CHARGES ARE IMMINENT. OFFICIALS AND LOCAL LEADERS HAVE SPOKEN OUT ABOUT THE TRAGEDY THIS MORNING. I'M AWARE THAT IT WAS A CONFRONTING AND VERY TRAUMATIC SCENE, AND WHEREVER YOU'VE GOT THAT LARGE-SCALE INCIDENT WITH THAT MANY PEOPLE, IT'S GOING TO BE DIFFICULT FOR ANYONE, SO OUR THOUGHTS ARE WITH POLICE AND ALL FIRST RESPONDERS WHO ATTENDED. IT IS TRULY HORRIFIC NEWS ` FOR NOT ONLY, YEAH, PEOPLE LOCALLY THAT WILL BE EXPERIENCING IT ` WE ARE A MAJOR WEDDING AND TOURIST DESTINATION IN THE HUNTER VALLEY AND SO THERE'LL BE PEOPLE FROM ALL OVER THE STATE AND THE COUNTRY THAT HAVE BEEN TO THIS AREA AND PROBABLY DONE SIMILAR THINGS, SO IT'S` YEAH, A REALLY HORRIBLE AND I THINK WILL SEND SHOCK WAVES RIGHT THROUGH THE BROADER COMMUNITY. NICE DAY. PRETTY GOOD WEDDING. FAIRYTALE STUFF. AND THEN, YEAH. WE WERE OUT TO GO AND GET DRUNK. AND WE JUST GOT THE NEWS THAT THERE'S BEEN A CRASH, AND WE ALL STARTED PANICKING. NOBODY KNOWS WHAT'S GOING ON. JUST TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT'S GOING ON. 'PRO-KREMLIN GARBAGE' AND 'A SERIOUS BREACH' OF RNZ STANDARDS. THAT'S HOW THE PUBLIC BROADCASTER'S BOSS HAS DESCRIBED THE ARTICLES LABELLED 'RUSSIAN PROPAGANDA'. AN EXTERNAL REVIEW WILL TAKE PLACE AT RNZ AFTER NOW 16 ARTICLES ON ITS WEBSITE WERE ALTERED TO INCLUDE PRO-RUSSIAN VIEWS. KATE TURSKA WANTS THE INVESTIGATION TO BE COMPLETE AND THOROUGH. IT'S HURTFUL, AND IT'S DAMAGING AS WELL. IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT, CURRENTLY THERE ARE TWO WARS HAPPENING IN PARALLEL. ONE IS RUSSIA'S WAR OF CHOICE ` THAT'S COMMITTING WAR CRIMES, KILLING CIVILIANS, DESTROYING AN ENTIRE COUNTRY, AND THE OTHER ONE IS THE PROPAGANDA WAR IT'S WAGING WHERE IT'S TRYING TO FOOL THE WHOLE WORLD THROUGH AN INTENTIONALLY BIASED AND DISTORTED NARRATIVE. 250 ARTICLES HAVE BEEN CHECKED BY THE BROADCASTER SO FAR, WHOSE CHIEF EXECUTIVE HAS NOW APOLOGISED TO THE UKRAINIAN COMMUNITY. MEANWHILE, UKRAINE SAYS IT'S RECAPTURED THREE VILLAGES IN THE DONETSK REGION FROM RUSSIAN FORCES. UNVERIFIED FOOTAGE APPEARS TO SHOW UKRAINIAN TROOPS RAISING THEIR FLAG IN A BURNED-OUT BUILDING IN ONE OF THE VILLAGES. IT COULD BE THE FIRST SIGNIFICANT VICTORY OF KYIV'S COUNTER-OFFENSIVE LAUNCHED OVER THE WEEKEND. IT'S BELIEVED UKRAINE COULD BE TARGETING RUSSIA'S LAND BRIDGE TO CRIMEA IN AN EFFORT TO ISOLATE ENEMY TROOPS. THREE BRITISH TOURISTS ARE MISSING AFTER A FIRE ON BOARD A YACHT IN THE EGYPTIAN RED SEA. 26 OTHER PEOPLE, INCLUDING 12 U.K. TOURISTS, WERE RESCUED FROM THE VESSEL OFF THE COAST OF EGYPT. THE PASSENGERS WERE ALL ON A DIVING CRUISE WHEN THE FIRE BROKE OUT. THE BBC'S SALLY NABIL REPORTS. HUGE FIRES RIPPED THROUGH THIS BOAT IN THE RED SEA RESORT OF MARSA ALAM. NEARLY 30 PEOPLE WERE ON BOARD, INCLUDING 15 BRITISH PASSENGERS. AMATEUR FOOTAGE SHOWS THE MOMENTS OF HORROR AS SOME JUMPED TO SAFETY AND ARE RESCUED. LOCAL AUTHORITIES SAY MOST OF THE FOREIGN VISITORS AND THE EGYPTIAN CREW HAVE BEEN RESCUED, BUT SEARCH OPERATIONS ARE STILL UNDERWAY FOR THOSE MISSING. (SPEAKS ARABIC) TRANSLATOR: WE ARRIVED AT DAWN. WE WAKE UP DAILY AT 6am AND THE BRIEFING BEFORE DIVING IS AT 6.30am. DURING THE BRIEFING, ONE OF THE PEOPLE SAW SMOKE COMING OUT OF THE BOAT IN FRONT OF US. IT WAS CLOSE TO US, AROUND 50m AWAY. ONE OF THE PEOPLE SAID THERE WAS LIGHT SMOKE, AND IN 1 OR 2 MINUTES, THE SMOKE BECAME WHITE AND HEAVY AND THEN IT TURNED BLACK, AND THE FIRE BROKE OUT SO FAST BECAUSE IT WAS WINDY IN THE MORNING. INITIAL REPORTS SAY AN ELECTRIC FAULT CAUSED THE FIRE, BUT THOROUGH INVESTIGATIONS ARE A PRIORITY NOW TO EXPLAIN WHAT EXACTLY HAPPENED. SEARCH OPERATIONS CONTINUE FOR THOSE MISSING, BUT FEARS ARE GROWING FOR THEIR SAFETY. AS THE COUNTDOWN TO THE ELECTION CONTINUES, THERE'S A PUSH TO GET MORE YOUNG PEOPLE TO THE BALLOT BOX. ONLY 60% OF PEOPLE AGED BETWEEN 18 AND 24 IN NEW ZEALAND ARE ACTUALLY ENROLLED. UNICEF'S YOUNG AMBASSADOR NELE KALOLO SAYS YOUTH DON'T HAVE THE TOOLS OF EMPOWERMENT ` INCLUDING CIVIC EDUCATION. THERE'S ALSO THE ISSUE OF REPRESENTATION. A LOT OF OUR CANDIDATES AREN'T ACTUALLY THE MOST REPRESENTATIVE OF THE DIVERSITY OF OUR YOUNG PEOPLE IN AOTEAROA, AS WELL AS THEIR ACTUAL POLICIES THEY ARE PROPOSING ` THEY'RE NOT CENTRING THE NEEDS OF OUR YOUNG PEOPLE, THE WANTS OF OUR YOUNG PEOPLE. AND I THINK IT REALLY FURTHERS THAT DISTRUST THAT A LOT OF US HAVE TOWARDS THE GOVERNMENT, ESPECIALLY FOR OUR MAORI, PASIFIKA AND ETHNIC YOUTH. KALOLO SAYS WE NEED TO SHIFT FROM THE QUESTION OF WHY ARE YOUNG PEOPLE NOT VOTING, TO WHY ISN'T OUR GOVERNMENT GETTING YOUTH IN VOTING BOOTHS. STRONGER, LONGER AND MORE FREQUENT MARINE HEATWAVES ARE HITTING NEW ZEALAND'S SHORES, PROMPTING CONCERNS AROUND NEARBY HABITATS. RESEARCHERS FROM NIWA AND THE UNIVERSITY OF CANTERBURY STUDIED DATA FROM THE PAST 40 YEARS TO ANALYSE THE NUMBER AND INTENSITY OF HEATWAVES. SOME OF THE BIGGEST INCREASES WERE OBSERVED IN THE CHATHAM ISLANDS DURING WINTER AND CENTRAL NEW ZEALAND IN AUTUMN. THE AUTHORS OF THE STUDY SAY THESE HEATWAVES CAN HAVE SEVERE IMPACTS ON CLOSE-BY ECOSYSTEMS AND BETTER MONITORING IS NEEDED OF THESE HABITATS. FOOD PRICES ARE ONCE AGAIN ON THE UP, WITH GROCERY SUPPLIERS FACING INCREASING COSTS, WHICH THEY'RE PASSING ON TO THE CONSUMER. IT'S ANOTHER ADDED PRESSURE IN A COST OF LIVING CRISIS, AND CHARITY VISION WEST SAYS MANY NEW ZEALANDERS HAVE TO CHOOSE BETWEEN HEALTHY FOOD AND PAYING THE BILLS. LUCKILY, THEY'RE PROVIDING AN ALTERNATIVE OPTION. TESSA PARKER HAS MORE. WELCOME TO MANAAKI KAI. KAI IS ABOUT CHOICE. KAI IS ABOUT CONNECTION. YOU KNOW, AND KAI IS ABOUT NOURISHMENT. IT'S THE FIRST SOCIAL SUPERMARKET SET UP IN TAMAKI MAKAURAU. RUN BY CHARITY VISION WEST, IT'S DESIGNED TO HELP WEST AUCKLANDERS MAKE ENDS MEET. YOU KNOW, THE IMPACTS OF THE HOUSING CRISIS, COVID-19, THE COST OF LIVING AND THEN RECENT WEATHER EVENTS AND ALL OF THOSE COMBINED AS, SORT OF, LIKE, A WICKED PROBLEM, I GUESS. AND SO, WE'VE SEEN AN INCREASE IN 2019 OF 120 FAMILIES GETTING SUPPORT HERE TO 400 FAMILIES A WEEK. VISION WEST CLIENTS CAN SHOP HERE USING A POINT SYSTEM ONCE A MONTH. AN OPTIONAL DONATION DICTATES HOW MANY POINTS THEY'RE ALLOCATED, WHICH THEY CAN THEN SPEND ON PRODUCTS IN STORE. A SINGLE PERSON COULD GET AROUND $135 WORTH OF FOOD FOR THEIR 55 POINTS. IT'S AN OPTION TO AVOID INCREASING SHELF PRICES. THE LATEST NUMBERS SHOW GROCERY SUPPLIER COSTS HAVE RISEN 8% IN THE PAST MONTH. IT'S BEEN COSTING PRODUCERS A LOT MORE TO GO THROUGH AND ACTUALLY PRODUCE BISCUITS, TO PRODUCE FRESH FRUIT AND VEGETABLES AND SIMILAR. ALL OF THAT HAS BEEN CONTINUING THOUGH THE SUPPLY CHAIN. THAT'S BEEN LIFTING SUPPLY COSTS. AND WITH THOSE COSTS LIFTING FOR OVER 5000 PRODUCTS, IT MEANS FOOD IS GETTING INCREASINGLY OUT OF REACH. HUGELY IMPORTANT THAT THE SOCIAL SUPERMARKETS ARE SET UP IN AN INVITING WAY AND ALSO MEETS PEOPLE'S CULTURAL NEEDS. YOU KNOW, THE KIND OF FOODS THAT THEIR KIDS MIGHT LIKE. AND IT GIVES THEM A CHOICE TO BE ABLE TO GET PRETTY MUCH EVERYTHING THEY NEED ` ALL OF THOSE ESSENTIAL ITEMS FOR THEIR KITCHEN, BUT ALSO TO HAVE SOME TREAT ITEMS IN THERE AS WELL. COS, YOU KNOW, A BISCUIT WITH A CUP OF TEA. WHO DOESN'T DESERVE THAT? BECAUSE I'M DAIRY-FREE, IT'S A LOT EASIER FOR ME. BECAUSE SO MANY DAIRY-FREE PRODUCTS ARE SO EXPENSIVE. AND SO, IT TAKES A LOT OF STRESS OUT OF SHOPPING FOR ME NOW. VISION WEST SAYS ALTHOUGH AN 'ALARMING NUMBER' OF HOUSEHOLDS REQUIRE SUPPORT, THEY'RE HOPEFUL VENTURES LIKE MANAAKI KAI WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE TO FOOD INSECURITY IN NEW ZEALAND. IT'S TAKING AWAY THAT SHAME AND THAT WHAKAAMA AND JUST SAYING WE NEED TO WALK TOGETHER AS COMMUNITIES HELPING COMMUNITIES, AND WE'LL CONTINUE TO DO THAT. AND I THINK WHEN WE DO THAT, THERE'S ALWAYS HOPE. TESSA PARKER, 1 NEWS. STILL TO COME ON MIDDAY ` SCOTLAND'S FIRST MINISTER QUESTIONED BY POLICE OVER PARTY FINANCES. WHAT SHE HAS TO SAY AFTER BEING ARRESTED. PLUS ` AUSTRALIA TAKE THE CROWN FROM THE BLACKCAPS AS TEST CRICKET'S CHAMPIONS. - Hey, Toyota. Got something that's not... new? - Yeah! Have you seen what's on Toyota.co.nz? - What are the chances you actually have what I'm looking for? - Pretty good! - Will it have any quirks? - Only if that's what you're into. - Uh, how do I know if it's any good? - Well, you are buying from Toyota, so there's that. - But I need something that comes with a warranty. - Well, Signature Class and Toyota Certified vehicles do. - That's a relief. SCOTLAND'S FORMER FIRST MINISTER NICOLA STURGEON HAS BEEN RELEASED WITHOUT CHARGE PENDING FURTHER INVESTIGATION AFTER BEING ARRESTED BY POLICE. IT'S PART OF AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE FINANCES OF THE SCOTTISH NATIONAL PARTY THAT SAW HER HUSBAND ` A FORMER CHIEF EXECUTIVE OF THE PARTY ` ARRESTED IN APRIL. THE BBC'S JAMES COOK HAS MORE. NICOLA STURGEON, FOR SO LONG FRONT AND CENTRE IN SCOTTISH POLITICS, WAS ARRESTED WELL AWAY FROM THE CAMERAS, JUST AFTER 10 AM. DETECTIVES QUESTIONED HER AS A SUSPECT BEFORE RELEASING HER WITHOUT CHARGE, SEVEN HOURS AND 15 MINUTES LATER. THIS EVENING, MS STURGEON ISSUED A STATEMENT WHICH WAS RAW, BLUNT AND DEFIANT. SHE THANKED HER SUPPORTERS, SAYING THEY APPRECIATED SHE WOULD NEVER DO ANYTHING TO HARM EITHER THE SNP OR THE COUNTRY. AND SHE INSISTED ` SPEAKING BEFORE THE ARREST, MS STURGEON'S SUCCESSOR AS FIRST MINISTER SAID HIS POLITICAL MENTOR WAS DOING WELL. SHE AND I HAVE CAUGHT UP ON A COUPLE OF OCCASIONS. AND LOOK, I'VE BEEN ASKING ABOUT HER WELFARE. SHE HAS MENTIONED HOW DIFFICULT AND TRAUMATIC THOSE LAST FEW WEEKS HAVE BEEN. IS SHE'S OK? IS SHE OK? YEAH. SHE'S IN A GOOD PLACE AND DOING WELL. THERE WAS LITTLE POLICE ACTIVITY OUTSIDE MS STURGEON'S HOME ON THE OUTSKIRTS OF GLASGOW TODAY, BAR THE OCCASIONAL PATROL ` A FAR CRY FROM APRIL WHEN HER HUSBAND, PETER MURRELL, THE SNP'S FORMER CHIEF EXECUTIVE, WAS ARRESTED, QUESTIONED AND RELEASED WITHOUT CHARGE. POLICE INVESTIGATING WHAT HAPPENED TO NEARLY �667,000 RAISED TO CAMPAIGN FOR INDEPENDENCE, ALSO REMOVED MATERIAL FROM SNP HEADQUARTERS IN EDINBURGH, AS WELL AS SEIZING A LUXURY MOTORHOME. LATER, THEY ARRESTED AND RELEASED WITHOUT CHARGE THE PARTY'S FORMER TREASURER, COLIN BEATTIE, ALL OF WHICH LEFT THE FIRST MINISTER HERSELF THE SUBJECT OF INTENSE SPECULATION. THERE ARE MANY QUESTIONS THAT I WOULD WANT TO BE ABLE TO ANSWER, AND IN THE FULLNESS OF TIME, I HOPE I WILL ANSWER. BUT IT WOULD BE WRONG AND INAPPROPRIATE FOR ME TO GET INTO ANY DETAIL THAT IS RELATED TO WHAT THE POLICE ARE CURRENTLY INVESTIGATING. I COULD NOT HAVE ANTICIPATED IN MY WORST NIGHTMARES WHAT WOULD HAVE UNFOLDED OVER THE PAST FEW WEEKS. (CHEERING) FOR A DECADE, NICOLA STURGEON AND HER HUSBAND WERE SCOTLAND'S POWER COUPLE. SUPPORTERS HOPED, SOME OPPONENTS FEARED, THAT MS STURGEON WOULD LEAD HER NATION TO INDEPENDENCE. THAT ALREADY FEELS LIKE A LONG TIME AGO. A BUSY HIGHWAY IN PHILADELPHIA IS STILL CLOSED AFTER A SECTION OF THE ROAD COLLAPSED. AUTHORITIES SAY HEAT FROM AN OIL TANKER CATCHING FIRE CAUSED THE I-95 TO CRUMBLE, WITH A MASSIVE CONCRETE SLAB FALLING ONTO THE ROAD BELOW. THERE HAVE BEEN NO REPORTS OF INJURIES SO FAR. THE I-95 IS THE MAIN NORTH-SOUTH HIGHWAY ON THE EAST COAST OF THE U.S. AND THE CLOSURE IS EXPECTED TO CAUSE SIGNIFICANT DISRUPTIONS FOR TRAVELLERS. ONE OF THE MOST ACTIVE VOLCANOES IN THE PHILIPPINES IS SPEWING LAVA AND ASH PLUMES, SPARKING WARNINGS TO RESIDENTS IN THE DANGER ZONE TO EVACUATE. OFFICIALS SAY GAS, DEBRIS AND ROCKS ARE CASCADING DOWN THE MAYON VOLCANO WITH FEARS THE VOLCANIC UNREST IS A SIGN OF AN IMMINENT ERUPTION. ANYONE WITHIN A 6KM RADIUS OF THE CRATER HAS BEEN TOLD TO HEAD TO SAFER GROUNDS. PILOTS HAVE ALSO BEEN WARNED TO AVOID FLYING TOO CLOSE TO THE VOLCANO. A WOMAN WHO WROTE A BOOK ABOUT GRIEF AFTER THE LOSS OF HER HUSBAND AND WAS THEN ACCUSED OF MURDERING HIM IS NOW FIGHTING TO BE RELEASED ON BAIL. THE ABC'S ZOHREEN SHAH REPORTS. KOURI RICHARDS, WHO HAS BEEN CHARGED WITH THE MURDER OF HER HUSBAND, IS NOW PLEADING TO BE RELEASED ON BOND. PROSECUTORS SAY THE 33-YEAR-OLD POISONED HER HUSBAND ERIC LAST YEAR BY SNEAKING FENTANYL INSIDE A MOSCOW MULE. INVESTIGATORS SAY KOURI BOUGHT THE FENTANYL FROM A DRUG DEALER. BUT ACCORDING TO COURT DOCUMENTS THAT KOURI'S ATTORNEYS FILED ON FRIDAY, THEY ARGUE THE KEY WITNESS TO THE ALLEGED DRUG DEAL GAVE CONFLICTING INFORMATION ABOUT THE FENTANYL PURCHASE. THEY ALSO ARGUE THAT FRIENDS HAD SAID JUST WEEKS BEFORE ERIC'S PASSING, THEY HAD NEVER SEEN ERIC AND KOURI HAPPIER. KOURI'S ATTORNEY SAY NOT A SINGLE TEXT MESSAGE OR OTHER DOCUMENT WAS TURNED OVER TO SUPPORT THE ALLEGATION THAT ERIC EVER BELIEVED KOURI ATTEMPTED TO POISON HIM. THIS MOTION ALLOWS THE PUBLIC AND THE MEDIA TO READ AN ALTERNATIVE VERSION OF WHAT TOOK PLACE. THEY DISPUTE A LOT OF THE ALLEGATIONS THAT THE PROSECUTORS HAVE PUT FORTH THUS FAR. THE UTAH MOM OF THREE WROTE A CHILDREN'S BOOK ABOUT GRIEF AFTER HER HUSBAND DIED. I KIND OF WROTE THIS BOOK ON THE DIFFERENT EMOTIONS AND GRIEVING PROCESSES THAT WE'VE EXPERIENCED LAST YEAR. JUST A FEW WEEKS BEFORE HE DIED, COURT DOCUMENTS FROM PROSECUTORS SAY ERIC CONFIDED IN A FRIEND THAT HE THOUGHT HIS WIFE WAS ATTEMPTING TO KILL HIM WHEN HE GOT SICK AFTER A VALENTINE'S DAY MEAL. PROSECUTORS ALSO PREVIOUSLY ARGUED THAT KOURI APPLIED FOR NEARLY $2m IN LIFE INSURANCE POLICIES WITHOUT HER HUSBAND'S KNOWLEDGE, A QUARTER-MILLION DOLLARS IN HOME EQUITY AND A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT IN CREDIT CARDS. BUT THE DEFENCE SAYING THE MONEY WAS FROM SHARED ACCOUNTS. I THINK WITH A LIST OF ALLEGATIONS THIS LONG IN FRONT OF A JUDGE, SHE'S GONNA REMAIN BEHIND THE BARS, PENDING HER TRIAL DATE. TO SPORT, AND NOVAK DJOKOVIC IS ON TOP OF THE TENNIS WORLD AFTER CLAIMING THE FRENCH OPEN THIS MORNING. HE'S RETURNED TO THE TOP OF THE RANKINGS WITH A RECORD-BREAKING WIN. LACHIE MCLEOD HAS THE ACTION. HISTORY UNFOLDING AT ROLAND GARROS. NOVAK DJOKOVIC DOES WHAT NO MAN HAS DONE BEFORE. A STRAIGHT SETS VICTORY OVER NORWEGIAN CASPER RUUD EARNING NOVAK DJOKOVIC HIS 23RD GRAND SLAM TITLE. EVERY SINGLE PLAYER DREAMS OF BEING IN THIS STAGE AND WINNING THE TROPHY AT LEAST ONCE IN THEIR CAREER. I AM BEYOND FORTUNATE IN MY LIFE TO WIN 23 TIMES GRAND SLAMS. IT'S AN INCREDIBLE... (CHUCKLES) (CHEERING, APPLAUSE) INCREDIBLE FEELING. THE SERB SURPASSES RAFAEL NADAL AS THE MOST SUCCESSFUL MEN'S PLAYER IN GRAND SLAM HISTORY. HE'S NOW ALSO THE FIRST MAN TO WIN ALL FOUR GRAND SLAMS AT LEAST THREE TIMES. OH, MY! WHAT A POINT TO START THE BREAKER. AND WHAT A GUT PUNCH FROM THE SERB. THE WIN PUTS DJOKOVIC LEVEL WITH SERENA WILLIAMS ON 23 SLAMS. MARGARET COURT, THE ONLY PLAYER LEFT AHEAD OF HIM, ON 24 TITLES. ANOTHER DAY, ANOTHER RECORD FOR YOU, AND ANOTHER DAY YOU REWRITE TENNIS HISTORY ONCE AGAIN. THE 7-6,6-3,7-5 WIN ALSO SEES DJOKOVIC RETURN TO THE TOP OF THE WORLD RANKINGS ` ADDING TO HIS RECORD 388 WEEKS AS WORLD NUMBER ONE. I JUST WANT TO SEND A MESSAGE OUT THERE TO EVERY YOUNG PERSON ` BE IN THE PRESENT MOMENT. FORGET ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED IN THE PAST. FUTURE IS SOMETHING THAT IS JUST GOING TO HAPPEN. BUT IF YOU WANT A BETTER FUTURE, YOU CREATE IT. TAKE THE MEANS IN YOUR HANDS. BELIEVE IT. CREATE IT. (CHEERING, APPLAUSE) WITH THE FRENCH CROWN ADDED TO THE AUSTRALIA TITLE WON EARLIER IN THE YEAR, HE'S NOW ALSO HALFWAY TO ANOTHER ACCOLADE ` A CALENDAR SLAM. LACHIE MCLEOD, 1 NEWS. DEPARTING HURRICANES COACH JASON HOLLAND HAS TAKEN AIM AT THE TMO AFTER THEIR SUPER RUGBY QUARTER-FINAL LOSS TO THE BRUMBIES. THE HURRICANES HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO CLOSE OUT THE MATCH IN THE FINAL MINUTES BUT WERE DENIED A TRY TO ARDIE SAVEA. HOLLAND SAYS THE TMO WAS BROUGHT IN TO GET THESE GAME=CHANGING CALLS CORRECT AND NOT COST SIDES THEIR SEASON. I THINK THERE'S A LOT TO PONDER AROUND THE TEAM INVOLVEMENT IN IT. OBVIOUSLY, WE'VE COME OUT ON THE WRONG SIDE OF IT. ARDIE SCORED THE TRY. THERE IS NO DOUBT ABOUT THAT. BUT, WELL, I THINK IT'S A GOOD ONE FOR THE POWERS THAT BE TO FIGURE IT OUT AROUND HOW WE USE TMOs AND IS IT ABOUT SPEEDING THE GAME UP OR IS IT ABOUT GETTING IT RIGHT? THE DISALLOWED TRY WOULD HAVE BEEN ENOUGH TO SEND THE HURRICANES INTO A SEMI-FINAL AGAINST THE CHIEFS. KIWI DRIVER BRENDON HARTLEY HAS FINISHED SECOND AT THE 24 HOURS OF LE MANS. HARTLEY, A THREE-TIME WINNER OF THE ICONIC RACE, HAD HIS TOYOTA GAZOO RACING TEAM IN THE HUNT BEFORE A TEAMMATE SPUN OUT WITH UNDER TWO HOURS TO RACE.
