SHOCKING VIDEO OF YOUTHS FIGHTING INSIDE AN ORANGA TAMARIKI JUSTICE FACILITY — STAFF HAVE BEEN STOOD DOWN AND THERE ARE CALLS FOR THE MINISTER TO RESIGN. 8000 WORKERS AND GROWING — THE GOVERNMENT REVEALS THE GAPING HOLE IN OUR HEALTH WORKFORCE. SO WHAT'S THE PLAN TO FIX IT? INTEREST RATES ARE RISING AGAIN — AND SO IS THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE FALLING BEHIND ON THEIR MORTGAGES. AND HOW BARBIE FOUND HERSELF IN THE MIDDLE OF A GEOPOLITICAL DISPUTE. CAPTIONS BY SALLY HARPER, KATE MCCULLOUGH AND LENA ERAKOVICH. CAPTIONS WERE MADE WITH THE SUPPORT OF NZ ON AIR. WWW.ABLE.CO.NZ COPYRIGHT ABLE 2023 KIA ORA. GOOD EVENING. NEWSHUB HAS OBTAINED SHOCKING VIDEO SHOWING AN MMA-STYLE FIGHT AT AN ORANGA TAMARIKI YOUTH JUSTICE RESIDENCE. WE WARN YOU, IT IS CONFRONTING TO WATCH. THE FIGHT HAPPENED AT KOROWAI MANAAKI IN SOUTH AUCKLAND — THE SAME FACILITY WHERE, JUST DAYS AGO, FIVE TEENAGERS ESCAPED ON TO THE ROOF, CAUSING SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE DURING THE 40-HOUR STANDOFF. POLICE ARE NOW INVESTIGATING, AND WE CAN REVEAL FOUR STAFF MEMBERS HAVE ALREADY BEEN STOOD DOWN. NICK TRUEBRIDGE HAS THIS EXCLUSIVE REPORT. THIS IS THE DISTURBING REALITY FROM INSIDE KOROWAI MANAAKI. (PEOPLE EXCLAIM) TWO YOUNG MEN UNLEASHING ON ONE ANOTHER, EGGED ON BY FELLOW RESIDENTS. (PEOPLE EXCLAIM) (BLEEP) HE FIGHTS ON, IS VIOLENTLY KNOCKED DOWN, AND CAN'T GET UP. VERY DISTURBED, TO BE HONEST — TO ME, THAT LOOKS LIKE THUGGERY. IT LOOKS LIKE A YOUNG PERSON IS BEING MADE TO TRY TO DEFEND HIMSELF, BECAUSE HE'S COMING OFF SECOND BEST, NO DOUBT ABOUT THAT. THERE'S AN ADULT IN THE BACKGROUND EGGING HIM ON. ONLINE, ORANGA TAMARIKI LAYS OUT WHAT TO EXPECT AT FACILITIES LIKE KOROWAI MANAAKI. YOUTHS ARE SUPPOSED TO LEARN PRACTICAL SKILLS, AND LEARN TO MANAGE ANGER AND OTHER PROBLEMS. INSTEAD — THIS. IT'S ALWAYS DISTURBING TO SEE A YOUNG BOY REALLY BEATEN UP — BEATEN UP IN WHAT SHOULD BE A SAFE FACILITY — AND IT'S HAPPENING IN ALL FIVE OF THE RESIDENTIAL FACILITIES. THIS IS THE SAME CENTRE WHERE THESE SCENES OCCURRED A DAY AGO. FIVE TEENS ESCAPED ON TO THE ROOF AND REFUSED TO COME DOWN, CAUSING SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE. ORANGA TAMARIKI SAYS THIS INCIDENT HAPPENED IN MID-JUNE AND IS NOW THE SUBJECT OF A POLICE INVESTIGATION. FOUR STAFF WHO WORK WITHIN THE RESIDENCE WERE REMOVED FROM ANY DUTIES AND ANY INTERACTION AT ALL WITH YOUNG PEOPLE OR CHILDREN IN THE CARE OF ORANGA TAMARIKI. AND IT APPEARS THE BEHAVIOUR MAY BE WIDESPREAD. THE ACTION THAT THE CE HAS TAKEN, AND HE HAS BEEN VERY PUBLIC, ACKNOWLEDGEMENT THAT THERE ARE ISSUES THROUGH THE RESIDENCES — AND THE DEPTH OF THEM? WE ARE NOT SURE AT THIS STAGE. CHILDREN'S MINISTER KELVIN DAVIS HAS IN YEARS GONE BY BEEN HIGHLY CRITICAL OF VIOLENCE COMMITTED BY THOSE IN CUSTODY. HERE HE IS TAKING AIM AT SERCO AND THE OPPOSITION OVER FIGHTING AT MT EDEN IN 2015. OBVIOUSLY, THEY'RE TRYING TO FIND EXCUSES FOR WHY THEY FAILED SO ABYSMALLY. YOU KNOW, THAT'S THE BOTTOM LINE. IT'S JUST A FAILURE. IS THE MINISTER NOW SAYING THAT GUARDS ARE TRAINING THE INMATES HOW TO FIGHT? TODAY, NATIONAL'S LOUISE UPSTON TOLD NEWSHUB THE MINISTER BEARS ULTIMATE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS. IT IS A LACK OF LEADERSHIP, AND KELVIN DAVIS NEEDS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR WHAT IS OCCURRING UNDER HIS WATCH. WE WERE TOLD THAT MINISTER DAVIS WASN'T AVAILABLE, INSTEAD ISSUING A STATEMENT CALLING THESE SCENES 'DEEPLY CONCERNING' AND 'TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE'. NICK TRUEBRIDGE JOINS US NOW — AND, NICK, WE'VE HEARD MORE FROM KELVIN DAVIS? WE HAVE HEARD FROM THE MINISTER. HE IS NOT AVAILABLE TODAY DUE TO TRAVEL, WE ARE TOLD. BUT HE HAS BASICALLY TOLD US THAT THESE YOUTH JUSTICE RESIDENCES HAVE DEEP-SET ISSUES. THAT IS WHY MORE PEOPLE HAVE BEEN BROUGHT IN TO TRY AND SORT IT OUT. THERE IS A REVIEW THAT IS SET TO TAKE PLACE. THERE WILL BE A REVIEW OF RESIDENCES THAT IS AIMED AT FLUSHING OUT ANY INAPPROPRIATE BEHAVIOUR. THERE HAD BEEN YOUTHS ON THE ROOF, ISSUES OF A SEXUAL NATURE, AND ISSUES OF A VIOLENT NATURE. SO THE QUESTION I HAVE NOW IS HOW HAVE WE GOT TO THIS. THE GOVERNMENT HAS BEEN THERE SINCE 2017, IS THIS AN EMPLOYMENT ISSUE? WE HAVE QUESTIONS THAT THE GOVERNMENT AND THE MINISTRY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO ANSWER. WE WILL HOPEFULLY PUT THESE QUESTIONS TO HIM TOMORROW, AND ANSWER THESE VERY SERIOUS QUESTIONS. AND THE AM TEAM WILL HAVE MORE ON THIS BREAKING STORY TOMORROW MORNING. FOR THE FIRST TIME, WE HAVE A CLEAR PICTURE OF THE HOLE IN OUR HEALTH WORKFORCE — AND IT IS HUGE. WE'RE SHORT NEARLY 5000 NURSES, 1050 MIDWIVES, 1700 DOCTORS, 220 DENTISTS AND 200 ANAESTHETISTS. ALL UP, THAT'S AROUND 8000 HEALTH WORKERS — A FIGURE THE HEALTH MINISTER HERSELF ADMITS IS CONFRONTING. BUT IT COULD GET EVEN WORSE — AS THE POPULATION AGES AND DEMANDS ON THE HEALTH SYSTEM INCREASE, THAT GAP COULD BLOW OUT TO 24,000 BY 2030 IF NOTHING CHANGES. SO THE GOVERNMENT HAS COME UP WITH A PLAN TO TRAIN AND RECRUIT THE HEALTH WORKFORCE WE SO DESPERATELY NEED. POLITICAL REPORTER AMELIA WADE EXPLAINS. THE HEALTH MINISTER WAS ONCE A DOCTOR. IT SHOWS. JUST LIKE IN MEDICINE, YOU CAN'T START THE TREATMENT UNTIL YOU'VE GOT THE DIAGNOSIS RIGHT. THE HEALTH SYSTEM IS HER PATIENT NOW. IT'S JUST HAD A CHECK-UP, AND THE PROGNOSIS ISN'T GOOD. WHAT'S YOUR DIAGNOSIS OF THE HEALTHCARE SYSTEM AT THE MOMENT? NEED MORE GROWTH. SHE MADE THAT DIAGNOSIS AFTER TE WHATU ORA EXAMINED ITS HEALTH WORKFORCE FOR THE FIRST TIME. TURNS OUT, THE SIZE OF THE HEALTH WORKFORCE HAS ACTUALLY BEEN GROWING STEADILY. THIS GRAPH SHOWS THE INCREASING NUMBER OF NURSES. SINCE 2017, IT'S JUMPED BY ALMOST A QUARTER. BUT — IT'S NOT ENOUGH TO KEEP UP WITH THE POPULATION, THE AGING POPULATION, AND THE NEW DEMANDS WE NEED, SO WE HAVE TO DO MORE. THERE'S ESSENTIALLY THREE WAYS TO DO THAT — YOU TRAIN 'EM, IMPORT 'EM AND KEEP 'EM. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THAT WE CAN SEE IN THE NEW ZEALAND HEALTH SYSTEM THAT WE'VE TOLD NEW ZEALANDERS WHAT THE GAP IS. TE WHATU ORA IS ALSO ABLE TO TELL UNIVERSITIES WHAT THAT GAP IS, SO THEY CAN TARGET STUDENT RECRUITMENT. AND THE STUDENTS THEMSELVES WILL EARN WHILE THEY LEARN, GETTING PAID FOR THEIR PLACEMENTS. I THINK THE PROOF WILL BE IN THE PUDDING, THAT IS, ONCE THIS PLAN IS PUT IN PLACE IT WILL BE VERY IMPORTANT THAT THE BENCHMARKS THAT THEY WANTED TO ACHIEVE ARE ACHIEVED. IT'S ALSO GOING TO TAKE THE SUGAR HIT OF IMMIGRATION TO RECRUIT SPECIALISTS. A HUB IS BENG SET UP IN LONDON TO DIRECTLY RECRUIT FROM THE UK, THOUGH THE NATS HAVE THEIR DOUBTS. HEALTH NZ BEING AN OFFSHORE RECRUITMENT ARM FILLS ME WITH DREAD, BECAUSE THEIR ABILITY TO BE A RECRUITMENT AGENCY TO DATE HAS BEEN ABSOLUTELY APPALLING. AND THEN THE PLAN IS TO KEEP WORKERS BY TREATING THEM RIGHT, LIKE ENSURING ACCESS TO FOOD ON NIGHT SHIFTS AND MORE SUPPORT. FOR SOME PEOPLE THAT MAKES THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN STAYING IN THE HEALTH SECTOR OR DRIVING BURNOUT AND LEAVING. A LOT OF MIDWIVES HAVE ALREADY LEFT THEIR JOBS — BUT THE SECTOR SAYS THIS WORKFORCE PLAN DOESN'T ADDRESS THAT. THE ACUTE SHORTAGE CAN'T BE FILLED QUICKLY BECAUSE IT TAKES FOUR YEARS TO TRAIN, AND IT'S HARD TO IMPORT MIDWIVES. SO IT NEEDS TO BRING BACK THE ONES WHO'VE LEFT. WE'VE HAD A LOT OF DISCUSSION ABOUT THE HEALTH WORKFORCE ISSUES, BUT WE HAVEN'T HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE ANY TANGIBLE INPUT LIKE THIS. THE PLAN'S BEING LAUNCHED TODAY, AND CERTAINLY WE'LL BE ENGAGING WITH THE GROUPS, MIDWIVES AND THINGS, TO MAKE SURE WE INCORPORATE AND DELIVER ON THE INITIATIVES WE'VE OUTLINED IN THERE. A COMPREHENSIVE TREATMENT PLAN FOR A HEALTHCARE SYSTEM WITH CRITICAL NEEDS. SO, AMELIA, HOW LONG BEFORE THIS PLAN IS IMPLEMENTED? THE MODELLING GOES OUT FOR A DECADE. TE WHATU ORA HAS GIVEN ITSELF ONE YEAR TO IMPLEMENT THE INITIATIVES IN THIS PLAN. IT IS THE FIRST BIRTHDAY OF THE HEALTH REFORMS, AND THE GOVERNMENT IS COMING UNDER PRESSURE TO PROVE THAT THE PAIN WAS WORTH IT. SOME IN THE HEALTH SECTOR ARE GETTING VERY FRUSTRATED. ONE MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL DESCRIBED TODAY OF THE REFORMS THAT NO ONE IS TAKING INITIATIVE OR RESPONSIBILITY. INSTEAD OF HAVING 20 DHBS ETC., COMPETING FOR THE EXACT SAME WORKFORCE, THEY CAN TAKE A DIFFERENT APPROACH. THIS PLAN HAS GONE DOWN WELL WITH THE SECTOR, ALTHOUGH THERE ARE SOME CONCERNS THAT IT IS VERY HIGH LEVEL AND THERE ARE NO TARGETS. STILL A BIT OF WORK TO DO TO ENSURE THE HEALTH OF OUR HEALTH SYSTEM. THE NUMBER OF BORROWERS BEHIND ON THEIR REPAYMENTS IN MAY REACHED 426,000 — THAT'S UP 15,000 FROM LAST MONTH ACCORDING TO CREDIT REPORTING AGENCY CENTRIX. THE BUSINESS SECTOR ALSO SAW CREDIT DEFAULTS CLIMB, WITH OVERALL COMPANY LIQUIDATIONS UP 35% COMPARED TO THIS TIME LAST YEAR. AND THERE ARE MORE THAN 19,000 MORTGAGES IN ARREARS — UP 34% FROM LAST YEAR — AS HOMEOWNERS CONTINUE TO BATTLE RISING INTEREST RATES AND A TOUGH ECONOMIC CLIMATE. ZANE SMALL HAS THE STORY. AMAN DEEP SINGH AND HIS PARTNER SPEND ABOUT $1300 A WEEK PAYING THEIR MORTGAGE, AT A RATE OF 4.45%. BUT THAT'S ABOUT TO ALMOST DOUBLE. WE HAVE TO RE-FINANCE PROBABLY NEXT WEEK, AND RIGHT NOW THE CURRENT RATE IS SHOWING 6.59. AND THEN, ANOTHER HEADACHE IS THAT THE BANKS ARE TELLING US, SINCE YOU PAID ONLY 10% DEPOSIT, THERE'LL BE ANOTHER TOP-UP OF .75. HE AND HIS PARTNER HAVE A YOUNG BABY, AND THE FINANCIAL PRESSURE IS MOUNTING. WHEN WE BOUGHT A HOUSE, WE HAD AN IDEA THAT THE INTEREST RATE WASN'T GOING TO BE THE SAME FOR THE WHOLE NEXT 30 YEARS. BUT WE DIDN'T EXPECT IT TO ALMOST DOUBLE. IT'S ALL THANKS TO THE RESERVE BANK LIFTING THE OFFICIAL CASH RATE 12 TIMES IN A ROW SINCE 2021, TO BRING INFLATION UNDER CONTROL BY SLOWING HOUSEHOLD SPENDING. THE INCREASES HAVE PUSHED UP BANK BORROWING COSTS, PROMPTING THEM TO PROGRESSIVELY LIFT THEIR HOME LOAN RATES. ASB IS ONE OF THE LATEST — THE BANK'S NEW ONE-YEAR RATE HAS CLIMBED TO 7.25%, HIGHER THAN ALL OF ITS COMPETITORS. AND IT COMES JUST AS A WAVE OF BORROWERS ARE DUE TO HAVE THEIR MORTGAGE RATES RE-FIXED. RESERVE BANK DATA SHOWS ABOUT $67B WORTH OF HOME LOANS WILL BE RE-FIXING BY THE END OF NOVEMBER, AND MANY OF THEM AT RATES CLOSE TO WHAT WAS SEEN DURING THE GLOBAL FINANCIAL CRISIS. FOR SOME NEW ZEALANDERS, THEY'LL BE HAVING TO FIND TENS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS MORE A YEAR TO SERVICE THEIR MORTGAGE. THAT'S A LOT OF MONEY THAT HAS TO COME OUT OF AN ALREADY-STRETCHED HOUSEHOLD BUDGET. AND THAT FINANCIAL PRESSURE CAN LEAD TO MORTGAGE DELINQUENCIES. CENTRIX DATA SHOWS OVERDUE HOME LOAN PAYMENTS ARE AT THEIR HIGHEST LEVEL SINCE MARCH 2020. AND IT'S NOT JUST FIRST-HOME BUYERS, THERE ARE SMALL BUSINESSES WHO, THROUGH THE COVID LOCKDOWNS, WENT OUT AND BORROWED AGAINST THEIR HOUSES TO FINANCE THEIR BUSINESSES FOR SURVIVAL, WHO ARE ALSO BEING CAUGHT WITH THAT. THE RESERVE BANK HAS AN OFFICIAL CASH RATE UPDATE COMING NEXT WEEK, BUT BRAD OLSEN SAYS MORTGAGE HOLDERS MIGHT FINALLY GET A BREAK, WITH EARLY SIGNS OF INFLATION EASING. I DON'T THINK THERE'S ANY RATIONALE AT THE MOMENT FOR THE RESERVE BANK TO HAVE TO LIFT THE OFFICIAL CASH RATE ANY FURTHER. BECAUSE IT'S HARD-WORKING PARENTS LIKE AMAN AT RISK OF JOINING THE GROWING NUMBER OF HOUSEHOLDS IN MORTGAGE ARREARS. ZANE SMALL, NEWSHUB. STRONG WINDS HAVE DAMAGED PROPERTY IN THE CENTRAL OTAGO TOWN OF CLYDE. THIS VIDEO OF THE EVENT PROVIDED TO NEWSHUB SHOWS MATERIAL RIPPED FROM A ROOF. IT HAPPENED AROUND 3.20 THIS AFTERNOON AND TWO FIRE TRUCKS WERE SENT TO HELP. LOCALS REPORTED SEEING A TWISTER, BUT METSERVICE FORECASTER PAUL NGAMANU SAYS HE WOULD DESCRIBE IT AS A VERY, VERY STRONG GUST OF WIND INSTEAD. HE SAYS TO TAKE A ROOF OFF, THE WINDS WOULD HAVE TO HAVE BEEN INTENSE. THE NUMBER OF CHILDREN WITH DIABETES IS ON THE RISE. A NEW GLOBAL STUDY SHOWS IN 30 YEARS, IT'S SPIKED 40% — TO THE POINT WHERE IT'S BEING CALLED AN EPIDEMIC. HEALTH EXPERTS HERE SAY IT'S TIME WE REALLY FOCUS ON WHAT WILL BE A HUGE ISSUE FOR THE NEXT GENERATION. LEIGHTON HEIKELL REPORTS. JAROD AND SOPHIE SUMMERS AREN'T YOUR TYPICAL DAD AND DAUGHTER DUO. WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO WHEN YOU GROW UP? I WANT TO BE LIKE MY DAD — A TEACHER. THEY ALSO SHARE SOMETHING ELSE — BOTH LIVE WITH TYPE 1 DIABETES. I DON'T WANT TO SAY IT'S AN ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM, BUT IT'S A THING THAT'S ALWAYS THERE. TYPE 1 DIABETES IS AN AUTOIMMUNE DISEASE WHERE THE BODY DOESN'T PRODUCE ENOUGH, OR ANY, INSULIN, WHEREAS TYPE 2 DIABETES IS WHEN THE BODY HAS DEVELOPED INSULIN RESISTANCE. IT'S PREVENTABLE AND OFTEN LINKED TO OBESITY. A NEW STUDY HAS FOUND THE NUMBER OF CHILDREN WITH EITHER TYPE IS GROWING. IT IS ABSOLUTELY AN EPIDEMIC. THE RESEARCH, WHICH FOLLOWED 1.5 MILLION CHILDREN OVER 30 YEARS, FOUND A 39.4% INCREASE IN THE NUMBER DIAGNOSED GLOBALLY. BY 2019, THERE WERE JUST SHY OF 230,000 KIDS WITH THE DISEASE, AND THAT'S JUST THE ONES RECORDED. DIABETES NZ SAYS IT'S INCREDIBLY CONCERNING. THIS IS THE MAJOR HEALTH ISSUE ON THE AGENDA FOR GOVERNMENT AND THEY NEED TO ADDRESS IT. DIABETES IS A BIG DEAL — IT SOMETIMES GOES UNDER THE RADAR, BUT IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST KILLERS, ONE OF THE MAIN CAUSES OF RENAL FAILURE. YOU KNOW, WE NEED TO BE CONSTANTLY DOING BETTER THAN WE ARE. DIABETES SPECIALIST PROFESSOR BEN WHEELER SAYS WE'RE SEEING THE SAME UPWARDS TREND AMONG CHILDREN HERE. TYPE 1 DIABETES, DEFINITELY, TYPE 2 DIABETES, ABSOLUTELY. YES, DIABETES HAS A BIG IMPACT ON PEOPLE'S LIVES, AND I AM AWARE THAT THERE HAS BEEN AN INCREASE. THE SUMMERS BOTH HAVE CONTINUOUS GLUCOSE MONITORS, WHICH CAN MONITOR THEIR BLOOD SUGAR LEVELS WITH THE SCAN OF A PHONE. IT'S NOT FUNDED BY PHARMAC, BUT JAROD RECKONS IT SHOULD BE. NOT ONLY FOR OUR WHANAU, BUT THEN WHEN SOPHIE GETS OLDER, THAT SHE WON'T HAVE TO... WHEN SHE GOES TO UNIVERSITY OR SOMETHING SHE WON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT FINDING THAT EXTRA MONEY JUST TO LIVE. A FINANCIAL BURDEN THAT MAY SOON BE LIFTED — PHARMAC IS CONSIDERING FUNDING THE MONITORS AND PLANS TO SEEK COMMERCIAL BIDS SOON TO SEE WHETHER IT'S POSSIBLE. BUT EXPERTS SAY A LONG-TERM PLAN IS ALSO NEEDED TO PREVENT TYPE 2 DIABETES — THAT INCLUDES AWARENESS AND EDUCATION AS WELL AS ACCESS TO BETTER HEALTHCARE. BUT IT JUST NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED, COS THE BURDEN ON THE HEALTH SYSTEM IS QUITE SUBSTANTIAL AND WILL ONLY GET WORSE. WORSE FOR THE NEXT GENERATION AS MORE AND MORE KIWIS GROW UP WITH DIABETES. LEIGHTON HEIKELL, NEWSHUB. THE ISRAELI MILITARY HAS BEGUN A MAJOR OPERATION AGAINST WHAT IT SAYS IS A HAVEN FOR TERRORISTS IN THE WEST BANK REFUGEE CAMP OF JENIN. AT LEAST 8 PALESTINIANS HAVE BEEN KILLED, AND DOZENS MORE WOUNDED. PALESTINIAN LEADERS FEAR IT'S A CONCERTED DRIVE AGAINST THE 18,000 REFUGEES WHO LIVE THERE. ITV'S RACHEL YOUNGER REPORTS. IT IS THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT WHEN THE ATTACK ON JENIN REFUGEE CAMP BEGINS. AIRSTRIKES FROM ARMED DRONES, FOLLOWED BY ARMOURED VEHICLES ON THE GROUND. (ROCKET FIRES) THE ISRAELI MILITARY RELEASING THESE PICTURES OF AN OPERATION IT CLAIMS IS HIGHLY-TARGETED, TO DO THE LEAST HARM. BUT IN A PLACE WHERE BUILDINGS AND PEOPLE ARE CRAMMED IN SO TIGHTLY, PRECISION IS IMPOSSIBLE; CHAOS INEVITABLE. (SIREN SOUNDS) AND BY MORNING, IT'S FAR FROM JUST WOUNDED FIGHTERS ARRIVING AT HOSPITAL. (GUNFIRE) ONE CHILD IS CARRIED THROUGH THE GUNFIRE, BUT WITH MUCH OF THE AREA SEALED OFF BY THE MILITARY, OTHERS CAN'T GET THROUGH. SMOKE IS STILL RISING FROM THE APARTMENT BUILDING THE ISRAELIS WERE TARGETING. IT IS, THEY SAY, THE COMMAND AND CONTROL CENTRE FOR THE MILITANT JENIN BRIGADE. THEY ARE SOME OF THE OCCUPIED TERRITORIES' RESISTANCE FIGHTERS, IN THE EYES OF PEOPLE HERE; OR TO THE ISRAELI AUTHORITIES, TERRORISTS, RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DEATHS OF JEWISH SETTLERS. WE WANT A BREAK OF THE CAMP BEING A SAFE HAVEN FOR TERRORISTS WHO WERE PERFORMING ATTACKS ALL OVER JUDEA AND SAMARIA. AND THEY WERE RUNNING BACK TO HIDE INSIDE THE CAMP. (GUN FIRES) IT'S NOT THE FIRST TIME ISRAELIS OR PALESTINIANS HAVE CARRIED OUT OPERATIONS HERE. THERE ARE OFTEN CLASHES. BUT WITH 2000 ISRAELI SOLDIERS NOW ON THE GROUND, THERE IS ALARM OUTSIDE THE REGION AT THE SCALE OF THIS OPERATION, WHICH THE PALESTINIAN PRIME MINISTER IS CALLING A WAR CRIME. ISRAEL INSISTS IT HAS NO INTENTION OF OCCUPYING THE REFUGEE CAMP, BUT THAT WON'T STOP THE FIGHT BACK HERE, NOR THE SUFFERING OF THOSE CAUGHT UP IN THE CROSSFIRE OF WHAT WAS ALREADY THE DEADLIEST YEAR ON THE WEST BANK IN ALMOST TWO DECADES. MIKE'S HERE NOW WITH A LOOK AT THE WEATHER — AND AS WE SAW EARLIER, WHEN ARE THE STRONG WINDS EASING? A BIT MORE OVERNIGHT FOR THE NORTH AND SOUTH ISLAND BUT THINGS START TO CALM DOWN AFTER TOMORROW. BUT IT WAS WAITOHI PICTON GETTING TODAY'S HIGH OF 19, HAWKE'S BAY AND TIMARU GOT TO 19, WHILE INVERCARGILL HAD THE MOST RAIN. THOSE STRONG WINDS ARE STILL AROUND OVERNIGHT AND TOMORROW BUT THINGS ARE CLEARING UP — I'LL HAVE ALL THE DETAILS AND THE LATEST METSERVICE WARNINGS AFTER SPORT. BARBIE'S PROBABLY THE LAST MOVIE YOU'D EXPECT TO BECOME THE CENTRE OF A GEOPOLITICAL DISPUTE, BUT THE MOVIE'S BEEN BANNED IN VIETNAM — ALL BECAUSE OF A MAP OF THE SOUTH CHINA SEA. AND THE TINY DESK THAT'S BECOME AN ENORMOUS MUSIC AND CULTURAL PHENOMENON. TONIGHT — ARE YOU SICK OF SWERVING TO AVOID POTHOLES? WE LOOK INTO WHY THERE ARE SO MANY AT THE MOMENT, AND WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE. AND WE FINALLY GOT IT — OUR INTERVIEW WITH MEGA-STAR TOM CRUISE ABOUT THE NEXT MISSION IMPOSSIBLE, AT 7. HUNTERS SAY NZ'S WILD PIG POPULATION IS BOOMING, AND THE COVID LOCKDOWNS COULD BE PARTLY TO BLAME. IT'S THOUGHT THE TIME KIWIS SPENT INDOORS ALLOWED THE INTRODUCED PESTS TO SPREAD FURTHER INTO THE GREAT OUTDOORS. KAYSHA BROWNLIE REPORTS. (DOGS BARK) WILD PIGS HAVEN'T ALWAYS BEEN THIS EASY TO FIND. YOU MIGHT CATCH A PIG A MONTH, YOU KNOW, WHEN WE WERE YOUNGER, IN THE TEENAGE YEARS, BUT NOW PROBABLY 80% OF THE TIME YOU GO OUT, YOU CATCH A PIG. PAUL BECROFT HAS BEEN PIG-HUNTING FOR 40 YEARS. JUST LOVE IT, YEAH. IT'S, YEAH— JUST THAT HUNTER-GATHERER, YOU KNOW, AND GETTING A FEED, AND ENJOY THE DOGS. HEY, BIG FELLA. NO LONGER CONFINED TO THE OLD HAUNTS, WILD PIGS ARE NOW MORE WIDESPREAD. (DOG BARKS) THEY'RE DEFINITELY MAKING THEMSELVES KNOWN. ESPECIALLY ON FARMS, WHERE THEY'RE LEAVING A TRAIL OF DESTRUCTION... WHERE IT'S WET, THE GROUND, THEY'LL DIG THE GROUND UP. ...TURNING OVER THE GROUND LOOKING FOR GRUBS AND WORMS. BUT THAT'S NOT THE ONLY DAMAGE THEY'RE DOING. THE PIGS CAN ATTACK THE NEWBORN LAMBS. IT'S NOT CLEAR WHY THE PIG POPULATION IS GROWING, BUT HUNTERS BELIEVE IT COULD BE DOWN TO A COMBINATION OF COVID LOCKDOWNS AND TWO MILD WINTERS. WE HAVEN'T HAD A GOOD SNOWFALL FOR PROBABLY 12 YEARS, AND THE WINTERS HAVE BEEN A BIT WARMER, SO THE SURVIVAL RATE OF THE LITTLE ONES IS PROBABLY BETTER. IN THE WILD, THEY HAVE BETWEEN 5 AND 7 IN A LITTER — ANYTHING BIGGER THAN 7 AND YOU'VE GOT A REALLY GOOD-CONDITION SOW. IT COMES DOWN TO THEIR CONDITION AND FOOD. PIGS ARE ALSO PREVALENT ON DOC LAND. OF THE 1350 MONITORED DOC SITES, PIGS WERE FOUND TO INHABIT 57% OF THE MONITORED NORTH ISLAND SITES AND 37% OF THE MONITORED SOUTH ISLAND SITES, THREATENING NATIVE PLANTS AND INVERTEBRATES. THE ONLY THREAT TO THE PIGS — MORE HUNTERS. (GUN FIRES) PIG HUNTERS COME IN WAVES — YOU'LL GET A LOT OF PEOPLE GET INTO THE SPORT WHEN THE PIG NUMBERS START RISING UP. I THINK PROBABLY SOCIAL MEDIA, YOU KNOW, MAGAZINES, ALL THAT SORT OF THING. EVERY SECOND TRUCK HAS A DOG BOX ON IT NOW. AND A CATCH ALONGSIDE IT. KAYSHA BROWNLIE, NEWSHUB. LAST MONTH SAW THE HIGHEST NUMBER OF NEW VEHICLES SOLD IN NEW ZEALAND. MOTOR INDUSTRY ASSOCIATION FIGURES SHOW 23,500 CARS WERE REGISTERED IN JUNE — THE MOST SINCE RECORDS BEGAN IN 1975. THE SURGE IN SALES HAS BEEN PINNED ON CHANGES TO CLEAN CAR DISCOUNTS FEES AND REBATES. KICKING OFF ON JULY 1ST, THE CHANGES SAW CUT REBATES FOR EVs AND HYBRIDS AND RAISED PRICES FOR HIGH EMITTERS. AS A RESULT, NEARLY HALF OF ALL PASSENGER VEHICLES BOUGHT IN JUNE WERE EITHER ELECTRIC OR HYBRID. BARBIE HAS TIPTOED HER WAY INTO A GEOPOLITICAL MINEFIELD. THE DISPUTE CENTRES ON THE DASHES ON A MAP OF THE WORLD IN A TRAILER FOR THE UPCOMING BARBIE MOVIE — AND BECAUSE OF THOSE DASHES, VIETNAM HAS NOW BANNED IT. ADAM HOLLINGWORTH EXPLAINS, AND FULL DISCLOSURE: BARBIE'S MADE BY WARNER BROTHERS DISCOVERY, WHICH ALSO OWNS THREE AND NEWSHUB. THIS IS THE BEST DAY EVER. IT IS THE BEST DAY EVER — AND SO IS YESTERDAY AND SO IS TOMORROW AND EVERY DAY FROM NOW UNTIL FOREVER. FOR BARBIE, THAT DAY JUST GOT A LITTLE CHILLY IN THE HOTLY-DISPUTED SOUTH CHINA SEA. I DON'T THINK IT'S BARBIE'S FAULT. I THINK BARBIE IS INNOCENT. BUT, LIKE MANY PEOPLE, SHE NEEDS TO DO A BIT MORE HOMEWORK AND NOT BE SO DRAWN INTO MISINFORMATION. INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS EXPERT AL GILLESPIE SAYS IT'S ALL ABOUT THIS MAP IN THE TRAILER FOR THE BARBIE MOVIE. WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO? YOU HAVE TO GO TO THE REAL WORLD. THE REAL WORLD, WHERE THAT PART OF THE SOUTH CHINA SEA — OF STRATEGIC IMPORTANCE AND TEEMING WITH MARINE LIFE, MINERALS AND PETROLEUM, IS CLAIMED BY MALAYSIA, THE PHILIPPINES, VIETNAM, TAIWAN AND CHINA. HARDLY SURPRISING, THEN, THERE ARE OFTEN MILITARY STANDOFFS — LIKE THIS ONE WHEN CHINA WAS ATTEMPTING TO BUILD ISLANDS THERE BY DUMPING SAND ON TO REEFS. BARBIE'S MANUFACTURER MATTEL MAKES ABOUT THREE-QUARTERS OF ITS TOYS IN CHINA, BUT IN 2016 AN INTERNATIONAL TRIBUNAL AT THE HAGUE RULED CHINA'S CLAIM ON THE DISPUTED TERRITORY WAS INVALID, AND ITS ISLAND-BUILDING EFFORTS WERE ILLEGAL. INTERNATIONAL LAW IS CLEAR — IT DOES NOT BELONG TO CHINA, BUT FOR IT TO APPEAR IN A MOVIE LIKE THIS, MANY PEOPLE WOULD TAKE AS 'WELL, OBVIOUSLY IT'S A CARTOON,' BUT THEY WOULD SAY, 'WELL, MAYBE THERE'S SOMETHING TO IT,; AND SO THAT'S WHY SOME COUNTRIES WILL TAKE A FORTHRIGHT APPROACH TO PROTEST THIS MOVIE. CARTOONISH, YES, BUT CHINA CLAIMS THE SPRATLYS WITH A NINE-DASH LINE ON THE MAP, SO THE MERE PRESENCE OF DASHES — IN THIS INSTANCE, EIGHT — IS A RED RAG TO A BULL. AND VIETNAM'S ON THE CHARGE. A STATE-RUN NEWSPAPER SAYS THE FILM WAS REFUSED A LICENCE OFFICIALLY 'BECAUSE IT CONTAINS THE OFFENDING IMAGE OF THE NINE-DASH LINE'. IT'S NOT THE FIRST TIME — VIETNAM ALSO PULLED THE 2019 MOVIE ABOMINABLE... DAD ALWAYS WANTED ME TO TRAVEL THE WORLD. THE AUSSIE SERIES PINE GAP IN 2021... ANY COMMS ON A POSSIBLE TARGET? AND LAST YEAR, UNCHARTED DISAPPEARED THERE FOR THE SAME REASON. WHY THE MAP? NEWSHUB HAS APPROACHED WARNER BROTHERS DISCOVERY FOR COMMENT, AND WE HAVEN'T YET RECEIVED A REPLY. TILL NOW, BARBIE'S BIGGEST FAUX-PAS WAS FORGETTING ITS OTHER AUSSIE MEANING. WHAT DOES IT MEAN HERE? LIKE A BARBECUE. OH! (LAUGHTER) NOW BARBIE'S PLAYING WITH A FAR MORE DANGEROUS FIRE. ADAM HOLLINGWORTH, NEWSHUB. ANDREW'S IN LATER WITH SPORT, AND SHOCK DEVELOPMENTS IN THE KIWI ATHLETICS COMMUNITY? THE COACH TO SOME OF OUR MOST HIGH-PROFILE FEMALE OLYMPIC ATHLETES HAS BEEN BANNED FOR 10 YEARS, JEREMY MCCOLL RESIGNING AFTER AN INVESTIGATION FOUND EVIDENCE OF INAPPROPRIATE COMMUNICATION OF A SEXUAL NATURE WITH HIS ATHLETES, SOME OF WHOM WERE MINORS. DETAILS SHORTLY. AND 'NO, IT'S JUST NOT CRICKET' — AT LEAST, THAT'S WHAT THE BRITISH PRIME MINISTER'S SAYING, AS THE FALLOUT FROM THE SECOND ASHES TEST GOES POLITICAL. WE'RE LIVE TO SYDNEY FOR THE LATEST. PUPPY YOGA — IT'S A MATCH MADE IN SOCIAL MEDIA HEAVEN, BUT AN UNDERCOVER INVESTIGATION HAS DISCOVERED DISTURBING PRACTICES IN THE GROWING WELLNESS TREND, WITH ALLEGATIONS OF ANIMAL CRUELTY. AND A FATHER'S SHOCKING DISCOVERY SHUTS DOWN THE ROLLER COASTER HIS DAUGHTER HAD JUST BEEN RIDING. WHAT IS AN APPROPRIATE WAY FOR A BUSINESS TO CELEBRATE MATARIKI? COMING TOGETHER, IDENTITY, AND SHARING IN OUR CULTURE. IF THOSE UNDERPIN ANY BUSINESS, AND WHAT THEY TRYING TO DO IN ORDER TO BROADER PROMOTE MATARIKI, THEN I ENCOURAGE THEM. IT'S GOT TO BE MORE FOR ME THAN MONEY. PARIS HAS ENJOYED ITS CALMEST NIGHT FOR A WEEK, BUT NOBODY THINKS THE PROBLEM'S GONE AWAY. BECAUSE AT ITS HEART IS THE BELIEF THAT FRANCE ITSELF, NOT JUST ITS POLICE FORCE, IS ROTTEN WITH RACIAL PREJUDICE. BLACK AND ARAB CITIZENS POINT TO ONE GLARING FACT — DONATIONS FOR THE TEENAGER SHOT DEAD HAVE RAISED 200,000 EUROS. DONATIONS FOR THE POLICE OFFICER ACCUSED OF HIS MURDER HAVE REACHED A MILLION. ITV'S JOHN RAY REPORTS. THE RIOTS HAVE SHOCKED AND DIVIDED FRANCE BY THEIR FEROCITY. A LULL IN THE VIOLENCE TODAY, BUT MANY WONDER WHETHER THE STORM CAN TRULY HAVE PASSED. THIS IS HOW PEOPLE TRY TO BE LISTENED TO. WE'VE FOUND PEOPLE WHO SAY THEY KNOW HOW IT IS TO LIVE LIKE NAHEL, THE YOUNG MAN KILLED BY POLICE WHOSE LAST WORDS ARE NOW REPORTED AS 'IT'S A CRAZY GUY. HE SHOT ME.' (GUNSHOT) WHEN YOU SEE THE VIDEO, WE ARE SHOCKED. BUT, YOU KNOW, THERE'S MANY KIND OF THINGS LIKE THAT HERE, BUT THEY ARE NOT FILMED, YOU KNOW? THESE MEN ARE THE SONS OF MIGRANTS, AND THEY SAY THEY SUFFER DAILY DISCRIMINATION. TRANSLATOR: THEY SEE US AS HOOLIGANS. IT'S DIFFICULT TO GET WORK AND EVEN TO STUDY. THE WAY THAT WE SEE WHEN WE ARE NOT EQUAL, IT'S THE TIMES WE ARE BLACK OR ARAB OR AFRICAN. BUT MANY SEE THIS AS A LAW AND ORDER ISSUE. THEY MARCHED TODAY IN SUPPORT OF THE MAYOR, WHOSE HOME WAS ATTACKED BY RIOTERS, AND DONATIONS TO SUPPORT THE POLICE OFFICER ACCUSED OF KILLING NAHEL FAR OUTSTRIP THE FUND FOR HIS VICTIM. THE DEATH OF A YOUNG MAN NAMED ADAMA TRAORE IN POLICE CUSTODY SEVEN YEARS AGO... (MAN SPEAKS FRENCH) ...WAS SUPPOSED TO HAVE GIVEN FRANCE ITS BLACK LIVES MATTER MOMENT. BUT HIS SISTER TOLD ME THAT TOO LITTLE HAS CHANGED. (SPEAKS FRENCH) TRANSLATOR: FRANCE HAS TO ADMIT THAT THIS IS INSTITUTIONAL RACISM. AND UNTIL THAT HAPPENS, CHILDREN WILL CONTINUE TO BE KILLED. THE VIOLENCE MAY HAVE SUBSIDED FOR NOW, BUT THE TENSIONS THAT HAVE GIVEN RISE TO SO MUCH DESTRUCTION REMAIN. A ROLLERCOASTER IN THE U.S. HAS BEEN SHUT DOWN AFTER A PARENT SPOTTED A LARGE CRACK IN A PILLAR SUPPORTING THE TRACKS. JEREMY WAGNER'S DAUGHTER HAD BEEN ON THE RIDE IN NORTH CAROLINA EIGHT TIMES ALREADY THAT DAY. THE FURY 325 IS ONE OF THE TALLEST IN THE WORLD. OFFICIALS ARE NOW TRYING TO DETERMINE HOW REGULAR DAILY SAFETY CHECKS FAILED TO IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM. AND RIDERS ON A ROLLERCOASTER IN WISCONSIN WERE LEFT HANGING UPSIDE DOWN FOR ALMOST THREE HOURS. THE EIGHT PEOPLE — SEVEN OF THEM CHILDREN — WERE ON THE 'FIREBALL RIDE', WHICH SUFFERED WHAT'S BEING DESCRIBED AS A MALFUNCTION. AN UNUSUAL FITNESS CRAZE CALLED PUPPY YOGA IS SWEEPING BRITAIN — AND IT'S ALARMING ANIMAL RIGHTS CAMPAIGNERS. THE PUPPIES AREN'T DOING STRETCHES, BUT ARE THERE TO BE CUDDLED AND ENTERTAIN THE CLASS. BUT CRITICS ARE CONCERNED ALL THAT ATTENTION CAN BE HARMFUL. ITV'S DANIEL HEWITT REPORTS. IT IS THE FAST-GROWING FAD FLOODING THE FEEDS OF INFLUENCERS ON SOCIAL MEDIA — PUPPY YOGA. THAT'S RIGHT, A YOGA CLASS, BUT WITH PUPPIES. CUSTOMERS PAY UP TO £40 FOR AN HOUR TO SPEND TIME WITH VERY SMALL, VERY YOUNG DOGS — ALL HARMLESS FUN. WE ARE QUITE TIGHT IN THE HAMSTRINGS. WELL, NO, NOT ACCORDING TO LEADING ANIMAL WELFARE ORGANISATIONS WHO HAVE CONDEMNED THE CRAZE AS DAMAGING AND IRRESPONSIBLE. OVER SEVERAL WEEKS, WE FILMED UNDERCOVER AT CLASSES ACROSS THE COUNTRY. AT THE BULLY BARNES PUPPY YOGA IN ESSEX, THE PUPPIES WERE PLACED IN THIS WARM ROOM FOR AN HOUR WITH NO ACCESS TO WATER. THEY WERE NOT ALLOWED TO LEAVE THE ROOM, DESPITE TRYING SEVERAL TIMES WHEN THE DOOR OPENED. THESE PUPPIES ARE FAR TOO YOUNG TO BE IN AN ENVIRONMENT WHICH IS AWAY FROM THE MOTHER. THESE DOGS ARE UNDER THE AGE AT WHICH THEY ARE VACCINATED APPROPRIATELY, SO THERE IS A RISK OF DISEASE TRANSFER. NOT PUTTING WATER OUT, THAT'S A SIGNIFICANT RISK TO DOGS. THE RSPCA ALSO HAVE SERIOUS CONCERNS OVER HOW THE DOGS ARE BEING HANDLED BY STRANGERS. AT THIS PUPPY YOGA LIVERPOOL CLASS, OUR FOOTAGE SHOWS TIRED PUPPIES TRYING TO SLEEP IN THE CORNER AWAY FROM THE CUSTOMERS, BEING CONSTANTLY WOKEN UP AND RELUCTANTLY CARRIED BACK INTO THE CLASS. WE FOUND THE SAME AT PUPPY YOGA NOTTINGHAM — SLEEPING DOGS CONSTANTLY BEING WOKEN UP. PUPPIES NEED HUGE AMOUNTS OF SLEEP. THEY'RE GROWING. YOU KNOW, SLEEP DEPRIVATION IS A FORM OF TORTURE. PUPPY YOGA NOTTINGHAM, PUPPY YOGA LIVERPOOL, AND THE BULLY BARN ESSEX ALL IGNORED OUR REQUESTS FOR COMMENT. AND TONIGHT THERE ARE QUESTIONS OVER WHETHER PUPPY YOGA SHOULD CONTINUE. A TINY DESK IN A WASHINGTON OFFICE HAS HOSTED SOME OF THE BIGGEST NAMES IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY. SO, WHAT'S DRAWN EVERYONE FROM TOM JONES TO MEGAN THEE STALLION TO PLAY WHAT COULD BE THE WORLD'S SMALLEST MUSIC VENUE? SHOCK DETAILS AS THE COACH TO SOME OF OUR OLYMPIC STARS IS BANNED FOR 10 YEARS. PLUS, AFTER NINE MONTHS OF WAITING, DARREN BAZELEY'S APPOINTED COACH OF THE ALL WHITES. WHY QUESTIONS REMAIN OVER WHETHER HE'S THE MAN NEW ZEALAND FOOTBALL REALLY WANTED FOR THE JOB. AND WHICH OF THE ALL BLACKS' THREE FIRST FIVES WILL GET THE NOD TO TAKE THE NUMBER 10 JERSEY IN SUNDAY'S RUGBY CHAMPIONSHIP OPENER IN ARGENTINA? TONIGHT, TOM CRUISE TELLS US ABOUT HIS MOST DANGEROUS STUNT YET FROM MISSION IMPOSSIBLE. AND HOW YOUNG FOOTBALLERS ARE GETTING THE RECOGNITION THEY DESERVE AS PLAYERS OF THE DAY. THE PROJECT, AT 7. THE MAN RESPONSIBLE FOR GUIDING THE CAREERS OF SOME OF THE COUNTRY'S PREMIER OLYMPIC ATHLETES HAS TODAY BEEN HANDED ONE OF THE MOST SEVERE PENALTIES IN NEW ZEALAND SPORTING HISTORY. POLE VAULT COACH JEREMY MCCOLL HAS RESIGNED FROM HIS HIGH PERFORMANCE ROLE, AND BEEN BANNED FROM ANY INVOLVEMENT IN ATHLETICS IN NEW ZEALAND FOR 10 YEARS AFTER ADMITTING HIS BEHAVIOUR OVER A NUMBER OF YEARS IN HIS ROLE AMOUNTED TO SERIOUS MISCONDUCT. ALEX CHAPMAN'S BEEN ACROSS DEVELOPMENTS, AND JOINS US LIVE FROM HIGH PERFORMANCE SPORT NEW ZEALAND'S AUCKLAND HEADQUARTERS. ALEX, WHAT'S MCCOLL ALLEGED TO HAVE DONE? THESE SERIOUS MISCONDUCTS WAS SAID TO HAVE STEMMED OVER A NUMBER OF YEARS, AND WERE MASSIVE BREACHES OF POLICIES. SINCE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS WERE PUT FORWARD, HE WAS PUT ON LEAVE. SAID HE ACTED INAPPROPRIATELY, INAPPROPRIATE COMMENTS TO ATHLETES AND TRAINING SESSIONS, FINDINGS OF HARASSMENT AND INAPPROPRIATE MEDICATION, WHICH WAS SAID TO INCLUDE INAPPROPRIATE SEXUAL REFERENCES TO A NUMBER OF ATHLETES WHO WERE MINORS. HE HAS SINCE RESIGNED. THERE WAS TALK OF A POTENTIAL POLICE INVESTIGATION. HIGH-PERFORMANCE SPORT NEW ZEALAND HAVEN'T WANTED TO GO ON CAMERA TO TALK. THEY HAVE RELEASED STATEMENTS. SO TOO HAS JEREMY McCOLL. WHERE DOES ALL OF THIS LEAVE MCCOLL'S ATHLETES AND THE PROGRAMMES HE WAS OVERSEEING? IN THE GREATER SCALE OF THINGS, WHEN YOU THINK OF WHAT HIS VICTIMS HAVE GONE THROUGH, THIS IS RELATIVELY MINOR, BUT THERE ARE QUESTIONS OVER THE POLE VAULT PROGRAM. IS THE ONWARD LEADING THIS PROGRAM AT THE MOMENT. HE HAS BUILT A VERY SUCCESSFUL PROGRAM FROM SCRATCH, SO PLENTY FOR HIGH-PERFORMANCE SPORT NEW ZEALAND TO PONDER, GIVEN THE PARIS OLYMPICS JUST OVER A YEAR AWAY, IN THE ATHLETICS WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS ARE IN SIX WEEKS. ALEX, THANK YOU. AFTER NEARLY NINE MONTHS OF SEARCHING, NEW ZEALAND FOOTBALL FINALLY HAS A HEAD COACH TO LEAD THE ALL WHITES THROUGH THE NEXT WORLD CUP CYCLE. INTERIM COACH DARREN BAZELEY'S BEEN HANDED THE ROLE ON A PERMANENT BASIS, OFFICIALS DESCRIBING HIM AS THE 'RIGHT CANDIDATE' FOR THE JOB. WHETHER HE WAS THE 'PREFERRED CANDIDATE' REMAINS A MYSTERY, FOLLOWING MONTHS OF SPECULATION AND SPIN OVER THEIR PURSUIT OF A HIGH-PROFILE COACH FROM ABROAD. THE QUESTION TODAY: WHY DID IT TAKE SO LONG TO APPOINT THE MAN THEY SUPPOSEDLY WANTED ALL ALONG? HERE'S GORDON FINDLATER. WALKING ON TO THE FIELD AS ALL WHITES MANAGER ISN'T NEW FOR DARREN BAZELEY... HEY, HOW ARE YOU? CONGRATULATIONS, MATE. ...BUT NOW IT'S OFFICIAL HE WILL BE FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE. IT'S AN HONOUR, YOU KNOW, AN HONOUR AND A PRIVILEGE. BUT ONE HE WAS MADE TO WAIT FOR. BAZELEY'S BEEN THE INTERIM MANAGER SINCE MARCH, WHILE AT THE SAME TIME BEING IN THE RUNNING FOR THE PERMANENT ROLE. WHAT DARREN'S DONE IS HE'S PLAYED HIMSELF INTO THE ROLE THROUGH LEADING THIS TEAM OVER THE LAST SIX MONTHS. I THINK IT'S SUCH A BIG PROCESS, SUCH A BIG DECISION THAT, YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY ANDREW AND NEW ZEALAND FOOTBALL HAVE HAD TO GO THROUGH THAT, YOU KNOW, AND MAKE SURE THAT THEY'RE HAPPY WITH THEIR OUTCOME. CEO ANDREW PRAGNELL MAINTAINS HE IS. THAT'S DESPITE CANADA'S NATIONAL COACH JOHN HERDMAN, CLAIMING HE TURNED DOWN AN OFFER FROM NEW ZEALAND FOOTBALL IN FEBRUARY. THERE'S VARIOUS CANDIDATES WHOSE OWN PERSONAL CIRCUMSTANCES DIDN'T PLAY OUT. AND IN A FUNNY KIND OF WAY, BY THE PROCESS TAKING A BIT LONGER, IT GAVE DARREN A CHANCE TO SHOW HE WAS 100% THE RIGHT GUY. WAS JOHN HERDMAN ONE OF THEM? THERE'S A LOT OF NAMES FLOATING OUT ON THE INTERNET. SO WE'VE NEVER JUMPED IN AND CONFIRMED OR DENIED EITHER OF THOSE. AND WE'LL LEAVE IT UP TO OTHERS TO SPECULATE ON THAT. WAS JOHN HERDMAN ONE OF THEM, ANDREW? HE WAS DEFINITELY ON THE INTERNET. WHETHER BAZELEY WAS NEW ZEALAND FOOTBALL'S TOP CANDIDATE OR NOT, HIS BRIEF TIME IN CHARGE OFFERS SOME HOPE. A WIN AND DRAW AGAINST CHINA, BEFORE A LOSS TO SWEDEN, AND A HALF-TIME LEAD AGAINST QATAR BEFORE THE SIDE ABANDONED THE MATCH. ULTIMATELY, WE WANT TO GET RESULTS. YOU KNOW, WE WANT TO PLAY A STYLE OF FOOTBALL THAT'S, YOU KNOW, ATTRACTIVE, ATTACKING BUT EFFECTIVE. AND IT'S RESULTS THAT WILL DO THE TALKING IF THEY'RE TO ACHIEVE THEIR GOAL OF MAKING THE NEXT WORLD CUP. GORDON FINDLATER, NEWSHUB. THE FALLOUT FROM THE SECOND ASHES TEST AT LORD'S HAS GONE POLITICAL, WITH THE PRIME MINISTERS OF BOTH COUNTRIES WEIGHING IN ON THE CONTROVERSY. BRITISH PM RISHI SUNAK'S ACCUSED THE AUSTRALIAN CRICKET TEAM OF BREACHING THE SPIRIT OF THE GAME, AND HIS AUSSIE COUNTERPART ANTHONY ALBANESE HAS FIRED BACK. AUSTRALIA CORRESPONDENT EMMA CROPPER JOINS US FROM SYDNEY. EMMA, WHAT'S HE HAD TO SAY? IT'S BEEN A BRUTAL COMEBACK. ANTHONY ALBANESE HAS USED THE WORDS OF THE BRITS AGAINST THEM. HE SAID, SAME OLD AUSSIES, ALWAYS WINNING. HE USED THE SAME WORDS THAT WAS USED AT LORD'S WHEN THE CROWD CHANTED SAME OLD AUSSIES ALWAYS CHEATING. THERE IS A CARTOON OF NEW ZEALAND BORN CAPTAIN BEN STOKES WITH THE TITLE OF ' CRYBABIES.' HIS POKE FUN AT IT WITH A SENSE OF HUMOUR TODAY. IT IS A FRIENDLY RIVALRY WHICH IS DIVIDING THESE TWO COUNTRIES. IS IT WHINGEING POMS, OR CHEATING AUSSIES? BUT AS I HAVE LEARNT TO DATE IN THIS COUNTRY, IT IS NOT CHEATING AUSSIES. EMMA, THANK YOU. THE ALL BLACKS HAVE TOUCHED DOWN IN ARGENTINA AHEAD OF THIS WEEKEND'S RUGBY CHAMPIONSHIP OPENER WITH ALL THREE FIRST-FIVES IN THE SQUAD VYING TO START AGAINST THE PUMAS. BEAUDEN BARRETT, DAMIEN MCKENZIE AND RICHIE MO'UNGA ARE ALL LIKELY TO FEATURE IN THE ALL BLACKS MATCH DAY 23 ON SUNDAY MORNING. MO'UNGA SAYS THE TRIO ARE EMBRACING THE COMPETITION TO START AT 10 AHEAD OF THE WORLD CUP. WE JUST WANT TO PUSH EACH OTHER, AND I THINK WE ALL DEMAND THAT OF EACH OTHER. I THINK IT'S— WE WOULDN'T BE DOING THE TEAM ANY JUSTICE OR WE WOULDN'T BE DOING EACH OTHER RIGHT IF WE WEREN'T REALLY TRYING AND COMPETING. THERE'S PLENTY OF NEW BLOOD PUSHING FOR SELECTION THIS WEEKEND, WITH ALL SIX UNCAPPED PLAYERS IN THE SQUAD AVAILABLE AND IN CONTENTION TO MAKE THEIR TEST DEBUT. THE WHITE FERNS ACCEPT THEY'LL NEED TO DO SOME SERIOUS SOUL SEARCHING AFTER THEIR SHOCK ONE-DAY SERIES LOSS IN SRI LANKA. BATTING FIRST, NEW ZEALAND WERE 127-2 AFTER 31 OVERS WHEN RAIN FORCED THE PLAYERS OFF THE FIELD. SRI LANKA WERE THEN SET A REVISED TARGET OF 196, AND DESPITE LOSING TWO EARLY WICKETS, CRUISED TO VICTORY THANKS TO A THIRD WICKET PARTNERSHIP OF 190. WHITE FERNS CAPTAIN SOPHIE DEVINE SAYS HER SIDE NEEDS TO TAKE A SERIOUS LOOK IN THE MIRROR AFTER THE HISTORIC 2-1 DEFEAT. I THINK SRI LANKA SHOWED US HOW TO PLAY IN THESE CONDITIONS. I THOUGHT WE WERE REALLY DISAPPOINTING TODAY. I THOUGHT WE'VE GOT TO TAKE A SERIOUS LOOK IN THE MIRROR AND FIGURE OUT HOW WE'RE GONNA WIN GAMES OF CRICKET AGAINST A REALLY QUALITY SIDE. THE TEAMS BEGIN A THREE MATCH T-20 SERIES ON SATURDAY. FINALLY TONIGHT, THE YEAR'S THIRD GRAND SLAM TENNIS EVENT GOT UNDERWAY AT WIMBLEDON OVERNIGHT. AND NOT MANY WOULD'VE PREDICTED A 7-TIME CHAMPION DOWN ON HIS HANDS AND KNEES TRYING TO DRY A WET CENTRE COURT AS ONE OF THE DEFINING IMAGES OF THE OPENING DAY, BUT THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED TO NOVAK DJOKOVIC AFTER RAIN HIT DURING HIS FIRST-ROUND MATCH AGAINST PEDRO CACHIN. WHEN IT DID DRY, THE SERB RESUMED TO COMFORTABLY WIN THROUGH TO THE SECOND ROUND. BUT AMERICAN COCO GAUFF'S OUT OF THE TOURNAMENT, BEATEN BY COMPATRIOT SOFIA KENIN IN THREE SETS, WHILE VENUS WILLIAMS — A FIVE-TIME WINNER — HAS ALSO SUFFERED AN EARLY EXIT. JUST BEFORE WE GO, SEAN JOHNSON HAS BEEN NAMED TO START WITH THE EELS. HIM AND HIS WIFE ARE EXPECTING THE BIRTH OF THEIR SECOND CHILD. IF HE DOES PLAY, IT WILL BE HIS 200TH GAME. THANK YOU, ANDREW. THEY CALL IT THE TINY DESK, AND IT'S GOT TO BE THE SMALLEST POP CONCERT VENUE IN THE WORLD — OUTSIDE OF YOUR SHOWER, ANYWAY. IT'S LOCATED IN A CORNER OF AN OFFICE IN WASHINGTON DC, AND YES, IT'S TINY. BUT SOME OF THE BIGGEST NAMES IN MUSIC HAVE PLAYED THERE, FROM TAYLOR SWIFT TO TOM JONES AND COLDPLAY. EVEN OUR OWN MARLON WILLIAMS, UNKNOWN MORTAL ORCHESTRA AND THE BETHS HAVE PLAYED THERE. SO WHAT'S THE ATTRACTION? CBS'S SKYLER HENRY WENT ALONG TO FIND OUT. FOR MANY OF MUSIC'S BIGGEST STARS, THE SPECTACLE OF A LIVE STADIUM SHOW IS NO MATCH. # I HEAR JERUSALEM BELLS A'RINGING # FOR THE TINY DESK. # CALVARY CHOIR SINGING. # I DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS ACTUALLY IN AN OFFICE, SO THIS IS... (LAUGHTER) VERY UNCOUTH. # JUST LISTENING TO MUSIC # LIKE WE USED TO DO. # # CAN I GO? # AND YET ARTISTS FROM EVERY GENRE HAVE BEEN COMING TO THIS CRAMPED OFFICE SPACE IN WASHINGTON, D.C., TO PLAY STRIPPED DOWN VERSIONS OF THEIR SONGS IN FRONT OF DOZENS OF NPR STAFFERS. ALL OF THOSE CRUTCHES AND THINGS THAT PEOPLE USE TO BE ON STAGE AND FEEL COMFORTABLE, THEY'RE ALL GONE. HOST AND MUSICIAN BOB BOILEN CREATED IT 15 YEARS AGO. # THAT'S ALL THAT'S REAL HERE, NOW. # WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THAT INTIMACY, (SOFT, MOURNFUL PIANO) WHERE YOU'RE STRIPPING DOWN THE LAYERS OF WHAT ARTISTS ARE NORMALLY ACCUSTOMED TO? FOR ME, IT'S MOST COMPELLING WHEN IT'S AN ARTIST WHERE YOU DON'T SEE THAT ANYWHERE. # I'M-A HIT IT LIKE, UH. WE BRING IN HIP HOP ARTISTS AT THE AT THE DESK # AND MY CHEQUES LIKE— # YOU'RE GOING TO HEAR INTERPRETATIONS OF THE MUSIC THAT YOU'VE NEVER HEARD BEFORE. ON QUIETER DAYS, YOU'LL CATCH BOILEN WORKING AT THE DESK. BEHIND HIM, THE SHELVES ARE BURSTING WITH ITEMS ARTISTS LEAVE BEHIND. THIS IS ADELE'S WATER BOTTLE. BIG BIRD'S FEATHER. THAT WAS AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE. # HOW TO GET TO SESAME STREET. # FINISH THE SENTENCE FOR ME — TINY DESK IS... PHENOMENAL. # JUST LET ME ADORE YOU. # OUR TOP STORIES TONIGHT — FOUR ORANGA TAMARIKI STAFF HAVE BEEN STOOD DOWN AFTER A VIDEO EMERGED OF YOUTHS FIGHTING AT THE KOROWAI MANAAKI JUSTICE FACILITY IN SOUTH AUCKLAND. THE GOVERNMENT'S UNVEILED A PLAN TO PLUG AN 8000-WORKER SHORTAGE IN OUR HEALTH SYSTEM. IT SAYS IF NOTHING CHANGES, THAT FIGURE COULD BALLOON TO 24,000 BY 2023. COMING UP, NEWSHUB WEATHER — WHERE STRONG WIND WARNINGS REMAIN, MIKE? MOST OF WATCHES FOR THE NORTH ISLAND END LATER TONIGHT — HOWEVER, THERE IS STILL AN ORANGE WARNING FOR STRONG WINDS IN THE CLUTHA, DUNEDIN AND NORTH OTAGO AREA WHERE GUSTS COULD REACH UP TO 120K'S UNTIL 9AM TOMORROW MORNING. BUT MOST OF THE SHOWERS AND THE WINDS EASE TOMORROW — I'LL HAVE THE FULL FORECAST NEXT. AND THEN ON THE PROJECT, IT LOOKS LIKE NEW ZEALAND'S GOT A HOLE PROBLEM. WE DO. POTHOLES. WE'VE POURED BILLIONS IN TO OUR ROADS, SO WHY ARE THEY GETTING WORSE? PLUS, KATE ROGER TALKS TO TOM CRUISE ABOUT HIS MOST DANGEROUS STUNT YET. KIA ORA, WELCOME BACK. ANOTHER WINDY DAY FOR MANY, BUT HERE'S THE GOOD NEWS — THE WINDS SLOWLY EASE AND SHOWERS BECOME FAR AND FEW BETWEEN. HOWEVER, THERE'S STILL A COUPLE OF COLD FRONTS RACING UP THE COUNTRY, BRINGING A FEW MORE STRONG WINDS AND SHOWERS BUT A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE IN THE TASMAN STARTS TO SPREAD OVER AOTEAROA, MAKING THAT SOUTHWEST FLOW A LITTLE LESS INTENSE. SO TE WAIPOUNAMU THE SOUTH ISLAND STAYS MAINLY FINE TONIGHT WITH BRISK SOUTHWESTERLIES. THERE ARE STILL A FEW SHOWERS AROUND FOR THE SOUTH AND NORTHWEST. TOMORROW, THOSE SHOWERS FOR THE SOUTH START TO CLEAR UP BUT REMAIN IN THE NORTH — OTHERWISE IT'S A FINE AND FROSTY DAY WITH CHILLY WINDS ABOUT COASTAL AREAS AND TE IKA A MAUI, THE NORTH ISLAND, SET TO SEE SOME CLOUD TONIGHT WITH A FEW SHOWERS IN THE NORTH AND WEST. OTHERWISE IT'S FINE WITH THOSE BRISK SOUTHWEST WINDS. TOMORROW, THOSE SHOWERS BECOME LESS FREQUENT FOR THE NORTH AND WEST WHILE EVERYONE ELSE GETS A FINE DAY. HAVE A JACKET, THOUGH, AS THOSE WINDS ARE STILL A BIT CHILLY. TAKING A CLOSER LOOK NOW — HAMILTON, AUCKLAND, WHANGAREI AND KAITAIA GET A MOSTLY CLOUDY DAY WITH A FEW SHOWERS — WHITIANGA STAYS DRY WITH FRESH WESTERLIES EASING FURTHER SOUTH AND THERE'S A BIT OF SUNSHINE POKING THROUGH THE CLOUDS. FRESH WESTERLIES KEEP IT CHILLY, ESPECIALLY FOR TAUPO, BUT THEY EASE IN THE EVENING. TOKOROA MAY SEE A LIGHT SHOWER OR TWO IN THE EAST. ANOTHER PRETTY GOOD DAY ON THE WAY FOR YOU WITH MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES. HAWKE'S BAY GETS SOME STRONG WESTERLIES IN THE MORNING, WHILE DANNEVIRKE MAY SEE A SHOWER IN THE AFTERNOON AND FOR THE REST OF THE NORTH ISLAND, IT'S FINE IN THE SOUTH BUT CLOUD DEVELOPS. WHANGANUI AND PALMERSTON NORTH GET SOME STRONG WESTERLIES WHILE NEW PLYMOUTH AND TAUMARUNUI GET SOME MORNING SHOWERS. OVER THE STRAIT, AND SUNNY NELSON LIVES UP TO ITS NAME, BUT YOU'LL DEFINITELY FEEL THOSE FRESH SOUTHWESTERLIES, WHILE EVERYONE ELSE GETS SOME ANNOYING SHOWERS, BUT THEY DO CLEAR OVER THE ALPS, AND THIS IS WHERE FROSTS ARE POSSIBLE — BUT IT IS SUNNY. THOSE SOUTH TO SOUTHWESTERLIES MAKE IT COLD, THOUGH, WITH HIGHS BETWEEN 12 AND 15 FOR SOUTHERN AREAS. OAMARU QUEENSTOWN AND ALEXANDRA GET THOSE FROSTS AS WELL. THERE ARE STRONG WESTERLIES FOR EVERYONE ELSE, ALONG WITH THE ODD SHOWER IN THE MORNING, BUT THINGS EASE IN THE AFTERNOON. ALEXANDRA AND INVERCARGILL GET TO 10 TIME FOR THE METROS NOW — KIA ORA OTEPOTI DUNEDIN — A STRONG WIND WARNING IS IN PLACE FOR YOU UNTIL 9AM TOMORROW MORNING WITH GUSTS UP TO 120K'S. AFTER 9, THE WINDS REMAIN STRONG, MEANING IT FEELS LIKE JUST 3 DEGREES. CHRISTCHURCH GETS A FINE DAY WITH MORNING FROSTS ALONG WITH FRESH SOUTHWESTERLIES IN THE AFTERNOON. COME IN, WELLINGTON — FINE AT FIRST WITH A FEW STRONG WESTERLIES. THOSE WINDS EASE IN THE AFTERNOON, THEN A SOUTHERLY CHANGE BRINGS CLOUD. YOUR HIGH TOMORROW — 14-15 DEGREES. HELLO, HAWKE'S BAY — IT'S FINE FOR YOU, BUT NOT A KITE-FLYING DAY WITH STRONG WESTERLIES, POSSIBLY GALE FORCE IN EXPOSED AREAS. 17 IS THE HIGH. KIA ORA, TAURANGA — IT'S A FINE WEDNESDAY FOR YOU, APART FROM A LITTLE CLOUD. THOSE BITING SOUTHWESTERLIES KNOCK THE HIGH BACK FROM 16 TO 11. INLAND NOW TO THE MIGHTY WAIKATO, AND IT'S A BIT CLOUDY IN THE MORNING ALONG WITH A SHOWER OR TWO IN THE AFTERNOON. FRESH WESTERLIES EASE, AND PRETTY MUCH A SIMILAR PATTERN FOR TAMAKI MAKAURAU AUCKLAND, WITH CLOUD AND THE ODD ISOLATED SHOWER. STILL A BIT NIPPY WITH A HIGH OF 15 THAT FEELS LIKE 11. LAPTOPS OUT THE BAG, PLEASE, WE'RE HEADING TO AUSTRALIA, WHERE THERE'S A FEW SHOWERS BUT IT'S FINE IN SYDNEY AND MELBOURNE. AND IT'S ANOTHER GREAT DAY IF YOU'RE HEADING TO THE PACIFIC ISLANDS — 29 IN FIJI AND SAMOA. I FEEL WARMER JUST SAYING 29. BACK HERE NOW — AND NOW AND THURSDAY'S A GOOD DAY TO DO SOMETHING OUTSIDE FOR THE HOLIDAYS AS SHOWERS ARRIVE FRIDAY IT'S COLD BUT SUNNY IN TAUPO ON THURSDAY BUT WET ON SATURDAY, AND THURSDAY LOOKING BEST HERE WITH SHOWERS BACK FOR THE WEEKEND. PRETTY MUCH THE SAME FOR THE SOUTH ISLAND — RAIN AND SHOWERS ABOUT FOR THE WEEKEND, AND SOME MORE FROSTS THIS WEEK FOR SOUTHERN AREAS, BUT IT'S MOSTLY DRY AFTER A WET FEW DAYS. AND THAT IS YOUR WEATHER — SOME DRY DAYS ON THE WAY IN THE NORTH FOR THE SCHOOL HOLIDAYS, BUT FOR A LIMITED TIME ONLY. THAT'S NEWSHUB LIVE AT SIX FOR TODAY. I'LL BE BACK WITH THE NEWSHUB LATE TEAM ARE HERE ON THREE AT 10PM.
