CAPTIONS BY OTO SEQUEIRA AND MAEVE KELLY. CAPTIONS WERE MADE WITH THE SUPPORT OF NZ ON AIR. WWW.ABLE.CO.NZ COPYRIGHT ABLE 2024 TENA TATOU I TENEI PO ` GOOD EVENING, EVERYONE. ACTOR ALEC BALDWIN BROKE INTO TEARS AS HIS FATAL SHOOTING CASE WAS DISMISSED BY THE JUDGE MID-TRIAL. HE FACED AN INVOLUNTARY MANSLAUGHTER CHARGE OVER THE DEATH OF CINEMATOGRAPHER HALYNA HUTCHINS ON A MOVIE SET IN 2021. HER WIDOWER IS NOW DEMANDING JUSTICE. HERE'S KIM BAKER WILSON. EMOTIONS WERE HIGH, AND RELIEF WAS CLEAR ON ALEC BALDWIN'S FACE. THIS IS THE SHOCK TWIST TO A SAGA THAT'S SHADOWED HIM FOR NEARLY THREE YEARS. WE ARE IN RECESS. EMBRACING HIS LAWYERS, THEN HIS WIFE. THE CASE AGAINST HIM SENSATIONALLY CRUMBLING. SO THE JUDGE IS WRONG? NO, I SAID THAT I RESPECT THE COURT'S DECISION. I THINK THAT PEOPLE CAN DISAGREE. I'M DISAPPOINTED. IT WAS LIKE WATCHING THE TITANIC GO DOWN, SADLY. RT: WE'VE HAD TWO PEOPLE ACCIDENTALLY SHOT ON A MOVIE SET BY A PROP GUN. ACCLAIMED CINEMATOGRAPHER HALYNA HUTCHINS DIDN'T SURVIVE THE SHOOTING. COMING THROUGH! A GUN WITH A LIVE ROUND FIRED BY ALEC BALDWIN, HANDED TO HIM DURING FILMING OF THE MOVIE 'RUST'. MY UNDERSTANDING, UM, IS YOU WERE IN THE ROOM WHEN THE LADY WAS`? OK. HUTCHINS' DEATH JAW-DROPPED HOLLYWOOD. BALDWIN WAS THE FILM'S STAR AND PRODUCER. MR BALDWIN, WOULD YOU LIKE TO SAY ANYTHING? FAST-FORWARD ALMOST THREE YEARS ` HIS TRIAL FOR INVOLUNTARY MANSLAUGHTER WAS JUST THREE DAYS IN. ON DAY TWO, REVELATIONS ABOUT AMMUNITION HANDED INTO A SHERIFF'S OFFICE. PROSECUTORS ARGUED IT WASN'T IMPORTANT; BALDWIN'S LAWYERS SAID EVIDENCE WAS BURIED. WE'RE TALKING ABOUT A PROSECUTION THAT DIDN'T PRESERVE THOSE BULLETS, THAT DIDN'T COLLECT THEM AT ALL. AND THIS MORNING, THE CASE SANK. THE STATE'S DISCOVERY VIOLATION HAS INJECTED A NEEDLESS, INCURABLE DELAY INTO THE INSTANT JURY TRIAL. DISMISSAL WITH PREJUDICE IS WARRANTED TO ENSURE THE INTEGRITY OF THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM. IT'S A STUNNING CONCLUSION TO THIS ALEC BALDWIN PROSECUTION. IT WAS A DISASTER FOR THE SPECIAL PROSECUTORS. IT RAISES QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS ENTIRE INVESTIGATION. BALDWIN LEFT WITHOUT SPEAKING. QUICK WORD! A QUICK WORD, SIR! I'M THE ARMOURER. OR AT LEAST I WAS. THE MOVIE'S CHIEF WEAPONS HANDLER HAS ALREADY BEEN JAILED BY THE SAME JUDGE. DID YOU LET THE HUTCHINS FAMILY DOWN? UH, NO, WE DIDN'T. WE DID EVERYTHING HUMANLY POSSIBLE TO BRING JUSTICE. HUTCHINS' HUSBAND REPORTEDLY SAYS HE HOPES PROCEEDINGS AGAINST ALEC BALDWIN AREN'T OVER, BUT THIS CASE CAN'T BE BROUGHT AGAIN. KIM BAKER WILSON, 1 NEWS. JOE BIDEN IS REMAINING DEFIANT ABOUT HIS RE-ELECTION, EVEN AS IT EMERGES HE'S HAD CANDID TALKS WITH TOP DEMOCRATS. HE TOOK HIS STRUGGLING CAMPAIGN TO THE CRUCIAL SWING STATE OF MICHIGAN, TELLING THE CROWD HE WAS 'OK' AND PLEDGED TO FINISH THE JOB. MEANWHILE, SIDES CONTINUE TO BE TAKEN ` CALIFORNIA GOVERNOR GAVIN NEWSOM, A POSSIBLE REPLACEMENT CONTENDER, REPEATED HIS BACKING; BUT U.S. MEDIA IS REPORTING BOTH BARACK OBAMA AND NANCY PELOSI HAVE PRIVATELY EXPRESSED THEIR CONCERNS TO JOE BIDEN. WITH THE LATEST, HERE'S U.S. CORRESPONDENT LOGAN CHURCH. MORE DAMAGE CONTROL TODAY FOR A MAN THAT SEEMS TO DO NOTHING ELSE. I PROMISE YOU, UH, I AM, UH... I'M OK. THANK YOU. THE AGE OF THE PRESIDENT NOW SEEMS TO BE THE SINGLE BIGGEST ELECTION ISSUE, THANKS TO THESE BLUNDERS AT THE END OF THE NATO SUMMIT. I WOULDN'T HAVE PICKED VICE PRESIDENT TRUMP TO BE VICE PRESIDENT DID I THINK SHE WAS NOT QUALIFIED TO BE PRESIDENT. STONY FACES FROM BIDEN'S OFFICIALS IN THE ROOM. (CHEERING) THE PRESIDENT TODAY TRYING TO SPIN THE AGE ISSUE INTO A JOKE... I KNOW I'M ONLY 41. (LAUGHTER) GOD LOVE YOU. ...BUT DEMOCRAT POLITICIANS ARE NOT LAUGHING. OVERNIGHT, HOUSE MINORITY LEADER HAKEEM JEFFRIES MET WITH BIDEN TO COMMUNICATE VIEWS ON HIS RE-ELECTION CHANCES FROM DEMOCRATS ON CAPITOL HILL. ALSO REPORTS TODAY THAT PARTY ROYALTY BARACK OBAMA ` SEEN HERE AT A BIDEN FUNDRAISER JUST A FEW WEEKS AGO ` AND NANCY PELOSI HAVE BEEN TALKING IN SECRET, VOICING CONCERNS OVER BIDEN'S CHANCE OF SUCCESS. THE LANGUAGE AMONG TOP DEMOCRATS IS WELL AND TRULY STARTING TO SHIFT. MANY OF THEM HAVE GONE FROM SAYING, 'WE BACK BIDEN TO WIN THE PRESIDENCY,' TO NOW SAYING, 'WE BACK BIDEN TO MAKE THE BEST DECISION,' LEAVING IT TOTALLY UP FOR INTERPRETATION AS TO WHAT THEY MEAN BY THAT. LET JOE BIDEN CONTINUE TO MAKE HIS OWN DECISIONS ABOUT HIS FUTURE. IF HE DECIDES TO CHANGE HIS MIND LATER ON, THEN WE WILL RESPOND TO THAT. TRUMP TODAY PROPOSING HIS OWN SOLUTION. BIDEN HAS NO PLANS TO QUIT, TRUCKING ON WITH A COMPARATIVELY FIERY RALLY THIS EVENING. AND I'M NOT GOING ANYWHERE! SAYING HE DOESN'T CARE WHAT THE PUNDITS, THE MEDIA OR EVEN HIS DONORS THINK. BUT PEOPLE WOULD RATHER TALK ABOUT HOW I MIX UP NAMES. I GUESS THEY DON'T REMEMBER THAT TRUMP CALLED NIKKI HALEY NANCY PELOSI. (LAUGHTER) BUT FOR BIDEN, THE MIX-UPS ` AND THE POLITICAL BLOWS ` JUST SEEM TO KEEP ON COMING. SO, LOGAN, THAT SEEMED TO BE A FIERY RALLY FROM JOE BIDEN. IS THERE LIFE IN THE OLD DOG YET? SOMEONE FOUND HIS OLD SWITCH TODAY CLEARLY HE GAVE A 35 ODD MINUTES SPEECH WITH AN AWFUL AMOUNT OF ENERGY HAS STUDIED SEEMS BE THE ONLY ATTENTION FROM HIS OWN PROBLEMS AND PUTTING THE SPOTLIGHT ON DONALD TRUMP THINGS LIKE HIS CRIMINAL RECORD AND TRACK RECORD THE PROBLEM FOR BIDEN IS THAT HE NOW NEEDS TO KEEP THAT PERFORMANCE AT THIS LEVEL FOR DAYS AND DAYS AND MONTHS AND MONTHS OUT OF THE NOVEMBER ELECTION AND MANY ARE ASKING IF IT'S OUTPACED THE JOB AND CAN KEEP UP WITH A LOT OF DEMOCRAT DISSENTERS ARE TALKING ABOUT A YOUNGER CANDIDATE. WHO WOULD THAT BE? THERE ARE LOTS OF NAMES BEING BANDED AROUND THERE SEEMS TO BE A GROWING NUMBER OF DEMOCRATS CALLING FOR VP KEMAL HARRIS TO STEPAN SHE KNOWS THE WAY HOW SHE KNOWS THE JOB SHE ISN'T TOTALLY HATED WHICH IS A GOOD TRADE FOR AMERICAN POLITICIANS AT THE MOMENT THE PROBLEM IS THAT PEOPLE JUST DON'T KNOW HER AS WELL THEY KNOW JOE BIDEN ENTERS THE MATTER IS THE PRESIDENTIAL PACK THEY NEED MONEY AND TIME MONEY AND PUTTING HARRIS AT OR ANYONE IN AT THE STAGE IS A ROLL THE DICE AND WE'VE UNEARTHED A NEVER-BEFORE-SHOWN INTERVIEW FROM THE 1 NEWS ARCHIVES WITH JOE BIDEN'S OPPONENT DONALD TRUMP. WHY IT SAT ON A SHELF ` THE MAN BEFORE HE WAS PRESIDENT ` LATER IN THE SHOW. CHRISTOPHER LUXON'S TAKEN A SWING AT AN AMERICAN PASTIME AS HE WRAPS UP HIS U.S. VISIT. THE PRIME MINISTER WINNING THE PRAISE OF CALIFORNIA'S GOVERNOR FOR NOT JUST HIS POLITICS BUT HIS BASEBALL SKILLS. NO MEDIA WERE ALLOWED ON THE STADIUM TOUR, BUT WE'VE BEEN TOLD THERE WAS NO PRACTICE RUN. THIS SUPPLIED FOOTAGE SHOWS HIM HITTING EVERY BALL PITCHED. OFF THE PLATE, THE DUO SPOKE OF WORKING TOGETHER, WITH PLANS TO COOPERATE ON GREEN ENERGY INITIATIVES. BACK HOME ` ON THE ONE-YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF A DARGAVILLE BABY'S UNEXPLAINED DEATH, OFFICERS ARE FRUSTRATED OVER THE LACK OF CO-OPERATION THEY'VE HAD INVESTIGATING WHAT HAPPENED. KWEEN THOMPSON WAS JUST 10 MONTHS OLD WHEN SHE DIED AT HOME; NOW HER GRANDFATHER IS JOINING CALLS FOR THOSE WHO WERE THERE TO SPEAK UP. HERE'S NORTHLAND REPORTER HELEN CASTLES. WHEN HE LOOKS AT THE MOKO HE'S RAISING, IT'S HARD NOT TO THINK HER LITTLE SISTER KWEEN COULD BE PLAYING HERE TOO. QUITE A SMILEY LITTLE GIRL. HE'S NOW CARING FOR HIS ELDER GRANDDAUGHTER FULL TIME. IN EARLY JULY LAST YEAR, KWEEN MOVED FROM HER HOME IN THE CENTRAL NORTH ISLAND TO A HOUSE IN DARGAVILLE. 10 DAYS LATER, SHE WAS DEAD. SHE WAS LIVING HERE WHEN SHE DIED, WITH HER 19-YEAR-OLD MOTHER, HER GRANDMOTHER AND OLDER SISTER. A POST MORTEM CONFIRMED QUEEN HAD PNEUMONIA AND DIED OF ASPHYXIA. SO, WE'RE CONCERNED ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED ON THE NIGHT AND ARE FRUSTRATED AT THE LACK OF COOPERATION THAT WE'VE BEEN GETTING FROM THOSE THAT WERE PRESENT WHEN BABY KWEEN DIED. AT THE TIME, THEY TOLD POLICE KWEEN'S PORTACOT HAD COLLAPSED. FORENSIC TESTS HAVE BEEN CARRIED OUT, BUT POLICE SAY THERE ARE STILL UNANSWERED QUESTIONS, AND THOSE PRESENT AT THE HOUSE, WHICH HAS BEEN DESCRIBED AS 'A KNOWN PARTY SPOT', WON'T BE INTERVIEWED BY POLICE. OTHER RELATIVES ARE SPEAKING OUT NOW IN THE HOPES IT WILL GET THEM ANSWERS. WHAT'S MADE YOU WANT TO GO PUBLIC? FOR ME, IT'S TRYING TO MOVE FORWARD. MATARIKI HERE, AND KWEEN, AND THEY WERE THREE MONTHS APART. BABY KWEEN, SEEN HERE WITH HER OLDER COUSIN, DIED NOT LONG AFTER THIS PHOTO WAS TAKEN. SHE WAS BORN PREM. SHE... SHE FOUGHT TO BE ON THIS EARTH, AND... IN HER SHORT EXISTENCE, YOU KNOW, IT GOT... EVERYTHING SHE SHOULD HAVE BEEN HERE TO DO GOT TAKEN AWAY FROM HER. THEY'D RAISED CONCERNS ABOUT WHAT THEY'D SEEN IN THE DAYS AFTER KWEEN'S DEATH AND BEHAVIOUR AT THE TANGI. WE WEREN'T WELCOMED. IN FACT, WE WERE LAUGHED AT WHEN WE GOT THERE. UM... IT'S NOT A NORMAL` YOU WOULDN'T SEE A SERVICE LIKE IT. I DO REMEMBER SEEING A COUPLE OF BRUISES ` ONE OF THE BABY'S INJURIES WAS DEEMED NON-ACCIDENTAL. AND GIVES US CONCERN ABOUT HOW KWEEN WAS TREATED IN THE FORTNIGHT BEFORE SHE TRAGICALLY DIED. I DO REMEMBER SEEING A COUPLE OF BRUISES ` I THINK ONE ON HER FOREHEAD AND MAYBE ON HER LIP. THE YOUNG SISTERS HAD ALREADY BEEN ON ORANGA TAMARIKI'S RADAR, BUT FOR PRIVACY REASONS, THE AGENCY CAN'T SAY WHY. WHAT DO YOU HOPE THAT THIS POLICE INVESTIGATION WILL UNCOVER? WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM IT? THE TRUTH. THE TRUTH FOR KWEEN. SHE DESERVES IT. I'VE SORT OF PREPARED MYSELF THAT I MAY NEVER GET ANSWERS. IF HE CHOOSES TO FOCUS ON GIVING HIS MOKO THE BEST LIFE HE CAN. HELEN CASTLES, 1 NEWS. A $300m WASTEWATER PROJECT NORTH OF AUCKLAND IS CAUSING A STINK WITH BUSINESSES AND PROPERTY DEVELOPERS IN THE GROWING TOWN OF WARKWORTH. A NEW TREATMENT PLANT AND PIPE NETWORK IS BEING BUILT, BUT AS JACOB JOHNSON EXPLAINS, THERE'RE FEARS IT'LL COST THE TOWN DEARLY. AROUND 6000 PEOPLE CALL WARKWORTH HOME, BUT OVER THE COMING DECADES, TENS OF THOUSANDS ARE EXPECTED TO MOVE HERE. AND WHILE DEVELOPERS SAY THEY'RE PREPARING FOR THAT GROWTH, PROGRESS HAS STALLED. THE RED TAPE IS JUST... IT'S INSANE. IT'S BECOMING UNBEARABLE, AND SOMETHING NEEDS TO CHANGE. THE PROBLEM IS THE WARKWORTH WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT IS NEARING CAPACITY, AND WHILE RESOURCE CONSENTS ARE STILL BEING GRANTED FOR DEVELOPMENTS, NO NEW WASTEWATER CONNECTIONS CAN BE MADE. THAT MEANS NEW DEVELOPMENTS LIKE PETER COONEY'S CAN'T BE LIVED IN YET. HE BOUGHT 40ha OF LAND ON WARKWORTH'S OUTSKIRTS TWO YEARS AGO. AT THE TIME, WE SPOKE TO WATERCARE, AND AT THE TIME THEY SAID THEY HAD SUFFICIENT CAPACITY. BUT NOW THEY'VE COME BACK TO US AND ADVISED US THAT THERE IS NO CAPACITY. WE'VE BEEN WORKING CLOSELY WITH DEVELOPERS TO MAKE SURE THAT WE DON'T DISRUPT THEIR DELIVERY PROGRAMMES. WHAT WE ARE SAYING IS THAT WE JUST HOLD BACK SOME FUTURE CONNECTIONS UNTIL THE NEW PLANT IS UP AND RUNNING. THAT NEW PLANT, BEING BUILT AT NEARBY SNELLS BEACH, WILL HAVE THE CAPACITY TO TREAT WASTEWATER FOR AROUND 18,000 PEOPLE, BUT THERE HAVE BEEN SOME DELAYS. WE HAD COVID DISRUPT US DURING THE PROJECT AND ITS DELIVERY, AND WE'VE ALSO HAD SOME CONSTRUCTION CONDITION ISSUES OVER TIME. WATER SAYS THE FACILITY WILL BE READY BY THE END OF 2025, BUT IT WON'T SERVICE ALL OF WARKWORTH. A NEW GROWTH PIPELINE NEEDS TO BE BUILT FOR NORTHERN PARTS OF THE TOWN. IT'S STILL IN THE PLANNING PHASE BUT COULD BE TUNNELLED UNDER WARKWORTH'S MAIN STREET. IF THEY GO AHEAD WITH THIS, THIS WILL KILL WARKWORTH. IT WILL ABSOLUTELY DECIMATE THE CENTRE OF OUR TOWN. HE SAYS BUSINESSES HAVE TAKEN A PETITION TO WATERCARE CALLING FOR THE PIPE TO BE INSTALLED ELSEWHERE TO LIMIT DISRUPTION. UNFORTUNATELY, THERE'S NO PERFECT SOLUTION. THE ENVIRONMENT AND ENSURING THAT WHAT WE PRODUCE WILL BE SUSTAINABLE IN THE LONG TERM ARE ALSO KEY CONSIDERATIONS IN OUR SELECTION PROCESS. THIS DEVELOPER SAYS WASTEWATER WOES AREN'T UNIQUE TO WARKWORTH. IT'S IN QUEENSTOWN, IT'S IN TAURANGA, IT'S AN ARMY BAY UP THE ROAD. THEY'VE GOT PROBLEMS. PALMERSTON NORTH HAS GOT PROBLEMS. SO, YOU KNOW, SOME SERIOUS LOOK NEEDS TO BE TAKEN AS TO HOW WE'RE GOING TO DEAL WITH WASTEWATER. HE SAYS MORE INVESTMENT IN INFRASTRUCTURE IS THE ANSWER TO ENSURE REGIONS CAN GROW. JACOB JOHNSON, 1 NEWS. MORE THAN 48,000 THOUSAND FANS WILL BE PACKING OUT EDEN PARK TONIGHT FOR THE ABs' SECOND CLASH AGAINST THE ENGLISH. JUST A ONE-POINT WIN LAST SATURDAY, SO ARE SUPPORTERS EXPECTING A MORE DOMINANT PERFORMANCE? JACOB JOHNSON IS OUTSIDE THE STADIUM. JACOB? YOU CAN REALLY FEEL THE ATMOSPHERE BUILDING HERE THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF FANS STARTING TO ARRIVE LOTS OF OR LACK FANS AS YOU WOULD EXPECT LOTS OF ENGLISH FANS TO LAST YEAR MARKS 30 YEARS SINCE THE ALL BLACKS LOST AT EDEN PARK THERE WILL BE HELPING TO KEEP THAT WINNING STREAK UP THE ENGLISH WILL HELP TO END IT AS YOU MENTIONED THERE WAS ONLY ONE POINT AND IT WHEN THE TWO TEAMS CLUTCHED IN DUNEDIN LAST WEEKEND I SPOKE TO FANS CLOSE GAME LAST WEEKEND; ROLL-OVER THIS WEEKEND. 100%. 100%. GO, ALL BLACKS. (LAUGHTER) I'M NOT NERVOUS. NO. ALL BLACKS IS GONNA WIN BY FIVE. TONIGHT'S THE NIGHT WE UPSET THEM. YOU KNOW, I THINK THERE'S GONNA BE A LOT OF UPSET FANS GOING HOME, BUT I'LL BE SMILING. YEAH, IT'LL BE A CLOSE-RUN THING AGAIN, YEAH. SEVEN POINTS IN IT ` TO ENGLAND. TONIGHT IS A SELLOUT MORE THAN 48,000 PEOPLE HAVE BOUGHT TICKETS TO DONATE SCAM WHICH KEPT KICKS OFF THE NIGHT AT 75 AND WHERE YOU FIND THE ALL BLACKS, ANDREW SAVILLE IS NEVER FAR AWAY. HE JOINS US NOW PITCH-SIDE. SAV, WILL EDEN PARK STILL BE THE ABs' FORTRESS TONIGHT? GOOD QUESTION MELISSA, THE GOOD NEWS IS AS A GOOD PROPERTY TELL IT IS A CRYSTAL-CLEAR EVENING AT THE GARDEN OF INTIMATE NO RAIN TONIGHT POSSIBLY SLIPPERY CONDITIONS FROM BOTH TEAMS AND INTRIGUING MATTER HAD HOW MUCH CAN THE ALL BLACKS IMPROVE AFTER LAST WEEK THE ENGLISH OR TO BRING THAT RUSH TO FANS AFTER LAST WEEK 30 YEARS SINCE THE ALL BLACKS HAVE LOST ON THIS HALLOWED TURF 51 YEARS IN FACT SINCE ENGLAND HAS ONE ON THE FIELD AS WELL ASSUMING THE ALL BLACKS ARE ALLOWED TO PLAY THEIR FREE-FLOWING FARCE PLAYING GAME IT LOOKS LIKE HISTORY WILL REMAIN INTACT FOR ANOTHER 12 MONTHS AT LEAST A MURI AKE NEI ` JUST AHEAD ` HE ENDURED ABUSE AT A YOUTH BOOTCAMP 30 YEARS AGO. NOW YOU'RE GOING TO BE TRUE WARRIORS. BUT THAT'S THE WHOLE POINT OF IT ` BREAK THEM DOWN TO BUILD THEM BACK UP. BUT THEY DON'T DO THE BUILD-THEM-BACK-UP PART. NEXT ` HIS CONCERN OVER THE GOVERNMENT'S PLANS TO REVIVE BOOTCAMPS FOR YOUNG OFFENDERS. PLUS, STRICT LENDING RULES ARE ABOUT TO BE LOOSENED ` BUT WILL AN END TO WHAT'S DESCRIBED AS 'OVERLY INTRUSIVE' CHECKS LEAVE WOULD-BE BORROWERS VULNERABLE? A HUMAN RIGHTS LAWYER WHO ADVOCATES FOR SURVIVORS OF STATE CARE FEARS YOUNG PEOPLE SENT TO BOOTCAMPS COULD BE PHYSICALLY AND MENTALLY ABUSED. THE WARNING COMES AS THE FINAL REPORT FROM THE ROYAL COMMISSION OF INQUIRY INTO ABUSE IN CARE IS BEING READIED FOR RELEASE. ONE ABUSE SURVIVOR SHARED HIS STORY WITH RYAN BOSWELL. RUGGED AND REMOTE, GREAT BARRIER ISLAND WAS ONCE HOME TO WHAKAPAKARI, A BOOT CAMP FOR TROUBLED TEENS. PUKANA! MANY OF YOU LOOK LOST, COMPLETELY LOST. NOW YOU'RE GOING TO BE TRUE WARRIORS. THE AIM WAS TO REHABILITATE YOUTH IN STATE CARE. SCOTT CARR WAS ONE; MORE THAN 30 YEARS ON, HE'S STILL DAMAGED. WELL, THAT'S THE WHOLE POINT OF IT, ISN'T IT? BREAK THEM DOWN TO BUILD THEM BACK UP. BUT THEY DON'T DO THE 'BUILD THEM BACK UP' PART. FOR THREE MONTHS, HE SUFFERED EXTREME PHYSICAL AND PSYCHOLOGICAL ABUSE. 'DEAR MUM, I HAVE SOME BAD NEWS.' SCOTT STILL HAS FLASHBACKS OF THE VIOLENCE. HE CAN'T WORK DUE TO A POST-TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER, AND HE'S BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH A DEGENERATIVE BRAIN DISEASE SIMILAR TO MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS. AND IT MAKES YOU REALLY SIT BACK AND THINK, 'WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN DONE DIFFERENTLY?' BOOT CAMPS REMAIN A PRIORITY FOR THE GOVERNMENT. THE MINISTER IN CHARGE, KAREN CHHOUR, SAYS A THREE-MONTH PILOT WILL SOON START, INVOLVING UP TO 10 BOYS AGED FROM 14 TO 17 ALREADY IN YOUTH JUSTICE FACILITIES. SHE WASN'T AVAILABLE FOR AN INTERVIEW BUT SAYS THE WELL-DEVELOPED SYLLABUS WILL ADDRESS CRIMINAL BEHAVIOURS AND ESTABLISH STRUCTURE AND ROUTINE. ABSOLUTELY AND IMPLACABLY OPPOSED TO BOOT CAMPS. THERE IS NO RESEARCH THAT SUPPORTS THEM HAVING ANY LONG-TERM BENEFIT. HUMAN RIGHTS LAWYER SONJA KOOPER'S BEEN REPRESENTING ABUSE SURVIVORS FOR THREE DECADES AND GAVE EVIDENCE TO THE ROYAL COMMISSION OF INQUIRY. I CAN SEE IT JUST REPEATING THE MISTAKES OF THE PAST, WHERE IT'S ALL DONE HAPHAZARDLY, WHERE ORGANISATIONS ARE CONTRACTED TO RUN THE INTENSIVE MONITORING THAT HAVE NOT BEEN PROPERLY VETTED. THE GOVERNMENT SAYS THE NEW PROGRAMME IS UNDERPINNED BY INTENSIVE CASE MANAGEMENT AS WELL AS THOROUGH HEALTH AND MEDICAL ASSESSMENTS, INCLUDING IDENTIFYING NEUROLOGICAL ISSUES. BUT SCOTT REMAINS CONCERNED. THERE WAS A REASON WHY IT'S NEVER WORKED BEFORE. ESTABLISHED SEVEN YEARS AGO, THE COMMISSION'S FINAL REPORT INTO ABUSE IN CARE WILL BE MADE PUBLIC IN TWO WEEKS. RYAN BOSWELL, 1 NEWS. A WIDELY CRITICISED LENDING CODE THAT SAW BANKS QUESTIONING BORROWERS ABOUT SHOPPING TRIPS TO KMART AND FAST FOOD VISITS IS BEING LOOSENED BY THE GOVERNMENT AT THE END OF THE MONTH. WHILE THAT'S BEING WELCOMED BY BANKS, AN ADVOCATE FOR VICTIMS OF LOAN SHARKS IS DESCRIBING THE CHANGES AS A RECIPE FOR DISASTER. SAM OLLEY EXPLAINS. USING A LOAN SHARK TO BUY A CAR TURNED WINNIE McCLUTHIE'S LIFE UPSIDE DOWN. I JUST COULDN'T AFFORD TO MAKE THE REPAYMENTS. THEY JUST SEEM TO GET HIGHER AND HIGHER. I WAS STRESSED ALL THE TIME. THE INTEREST, FEES AND PENALTIES COST HER $9000. TWO OF HER KIDS HAD TO LIVE ELSEWHERE. JUST SO I COULD TRY AND SURVIVE AND MAKE THINGS WORK WITH THE OTHER CHILDREN I HAD. SHE SUCCESSFULLY DISPUTED THE LOAN, WAS REIMBURSED, AND HER DEBT WAS WIPED. IT WAS THE BEST FEELING OF MY LIFE. BUT THE GOVERNMENT SAYS THE CURRENT LENDING CODE IS IN FACT TOO STRICT. SO A NEW, LOOSER CODE IS COMING LATER THIS MONTH, WITH LESS PRESSURE ON LENDERS TO VERIFY LIVING EXPENSES WHEN SOMEONE APPLIES FOR A LOAN. WE JUST SORT OF SEE THESE CHANGES AT THIS TIME AS A RECIPE FOR DISASTER. WE ARE DISAPPOINTED TO SEE SOME OF THE PROTECTIONS THAT HAVE BEEN IN PLACE FOR VULNERABLE CONSUMERS BE ROLLED BACK. THE CHANGES COME AS NEW GOVERNMENT RESEARCH ESTIMATES LAST YEAR MORE THAN HALF OF NEW ZEALAND ADULTS APPLIED FOR CREDIT, ALMOST ALL WERE APPROVED, AROUND A QUARTER OF PEOPLE WITH LOANS DEFAULTED, AND APPROVED OVERDRAFT VALUES ARE INCREASING. THE FLEXIBILITY THAT IS BEING RESTORED TO BANKS AND OTHER REPUTABLE LENDERS WILL RESULT IN THE MAKING MORE LOANS. THE GOVERNMENT INSISTS THAT DESPITE THE CODE BEING LOOSENED, IT WILL PROTECT PEOPLE FROM RESORTING TO LOAN SHARKS. CHRISTIANS AGAINST POVERTY HAS WON BACK $1.2m FOR CLIENTS DISPUTING DODGY LOANS IN THE PAST THREE YEARS. EVERY MONTH WE ARE RECEIVING HUNDREDS OF CALLS FROM PEOPLE, AND UNFORTUNATELY, AT TIMES WE'RE HAVING TO TURN THEM AWAY. SO WE KNOW THAT THIS IS THE TIP OF THE ICEBERG. AND THIS MENTORING SERVICE SAYS RELAXING THE LENDING CODE IS A BAD MOVE, EVEN FOR BANK LOANS. BANKS MIGHT HAVE BETTER PROCESSES AROUND HELPING SOMEONE WHEN THEY DO GET INTO TROUBLE, BUT IT COULD BE AS RISKY. ULTIMATELY, IF YOUR BUDGET DOESN'T BALANCE, UNFORTUNATELY, YOU CAN GET INTO AN INSOLVENT SITUATION. SO WHAT'S THE ALTERNATIVE? A LOT OF ENTITLEMENTS YOU CAN ACCESS THROUGH WORK AND INCOME AND OFTEN REACH OUT TO A FINANCIAL MENTOR. THERE ARE ALSO SOCIAL LOAN SCHEMES, SO THOSE ARE NO COST. FREE ADVICE TO AVOID OVERWHELMING EXPENSES. SAM OLLEY, 1 NEWS. GAZA CEASEFIRE TALKS BEING HELD IN QATAR AND EGYPT HAVE ENDED WITHOUT ANY AGREEMENT, ACCORDING TO THE BBC. ONE POINT OF CONTENTION ` PRIME MINISTER BENJAMIN NETANYAHU REPORTEDLY SAYS ISRAEL MUST RETAIN CONTROL OF THE PALESTINIAN SIDE OF GAZA'S BORDER WITH EGYPT TO STOP WEAPONS REACHING HAMAS. U.S. PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN TODAY ACKNOWLEDGED 'COMPLEX ISSUES' BUT SAYS PROGRESS IS BEING MADE ON A CEASEFIRE DEAL. MEANWHILE, THE PENTAGON SAYS A U.S.-BUILT PIER THAT WAS USED TO DELIVER AID TO GAZA BEFORE IT WAS DAMAGED BY ROUGH SEAS LAST MONTH IS BEING SHUT DOWN. THE $375m FLOATING STRUCTURE WAS ONLY INSTALLED TWO MONTHS AGO AND WAS EXPECTED TO BE USED TILL SEPTEMBER, BUT SEA CONDITIONS PROVED TOO CHALLENGING. ME U TONU MAI ` A NEVER-SEEN-BEFORE INTERVIEW WITH DONALD TRUMP LEFT UNDISCOVERED IN THE 1 NEWS ARCHIVES FOR MORE THAN 20 YEARS. IT WAS JUST SCARY. IT WAS UNBELIEVABLE. WHAT IT REVEALS ABOUT THE FUTURE U.S. PRESIDENT'S WORLDVIEW. THEN ` THEY WERE ONCE ON THE BRINK OF EXTINCTION, BUT NOW IT'S INBREEDING THREATENING THE SOUTHERN WHITE RHINO; HOW IVF COULD SAVE THEM. AND CAN WE SQUEEZE OUT ANOTHER GOOD DAY TOMORROW? WELL, NEARLY, BUT THE RAIN IS ON ITS WAY. I'LL HAVE DETAILS AFTER SPORT. OUR NEXT STORY IS ONE 22 YEARS IN THE MAKING. FROM OUR ARCHIVES, 1 NEWS HAS UNEARTHED WHAT MAY BE THE FIRST INTERVIEW DONALD TRUMP EVER HAD WITH A NEW ZEALAND TELEVISION REPORTER. IT WAS NEVER USED AT THE TIME, AND THE JOURNALIST THOUGHT IT WAS LOST, BUT NOW SIMON MERCEP HAS THE STORY. IT STARTED WITH GOLF. COS YOU REALLY HAVE SOME GOOD GOLFERS FROM NEW ZEALAND. BOB CHARLES IS THE BEST. YEAH, YEAH. I'M WONDERING IF THAT'S WHAT GOT US THROUGH THE DOOR. HE MENTIONED BOB CHARLES; HE MENTIONED GOLF. IT WAS 2002, AND TVNZ WANTED TO TALK TO DONALD TRUMP ABOUT 9/11. (CRASH! PANICKED SCREAMING) WELL, I WAS IN MY APARTMENT WATCHING TELEVISION, BUT IF YOU LOOK OUT THIS WINDOW, THE WORLD TRADE CENTRE COVERED EACH SIDE OF THE EMPIRE STATE BUILDINGS. SUNDAY CORRESPONDENT CAMERON BENNETT CAME TO NEW YORK FOR THE FIRST ANNIVERSARY OF THE DISASTER. IT WAS JUST SCARY. IT WAS UNBELIEVABLE. THIS WAS BEFORE 'THE APPRENTICE', BUT DONALD TRUMP WAS STILL A BIG NAME ` A BIG PROPERTY DEVELOPER IN THE BIG APPLE. DID HE UNDERSTAND WHAT ORDINARY NEW YORKERS HAD BEEN THROUGH? COS I KNOW WHAT PEOPLE WANT. I KNOW WHAT PEOPLE DEAL WITH. YOU KNOW, I MEAN, I HAVE THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF CONSTRUCTION WORKERS THAT WORK FOR ME. I'VE NEVER SEEN SPIRIT LIKE THERE IS TODAY. AND HE HAD A WONDERFUL KNACK THEN ` AS NOW ` TO BRING IT BACK TO HIM. NOW HIS RHETORIC IS ALL POLITICS. TELL CROOKED JOE BIDEN, 'YOU'RE FIRED! GET OUT! GET OUT!' THEN ` NO POLITICAL AMBITION, AND ONLY A HINT OF A WIDER WORLDVIEW. THEY WERE REALLY ATTACKS ON THE FREE WORLD. THEY WEREN'T ATTACKS ON NEW YORK; THEY WERE ATTACKS ON THE FREE WORLD. WE TOOK THE HIT FOR EVERYBODY ELSE. I MEAN, MAYBE IT IS... A SIGNAL OF THINGS TO COME ` HE'S TALKING ABOUT A MUCH BIGGER STAGE THAN JUST NEW YORK. BUT THE GOLF-LOVING TYCOON DIDN'T MAKE IT TO AIR. HE DIDN'T MAKE THE CUT IN OUR STORY BECAUSE WE HAD MORE... GRITTY, REAL STORIES FROM OTHER PEOPLE WHO'D BEEN THROUGH THE WHOLE 9/11 EXPERIENCE. CAMERON BENNETT THOUGHT THE INTERVIEW WAS LOST, BUT AMONGST THOUSANDS OF HOURS OF TAPE STILL HELD HERE AT TVNZ, WE FOUND IT ` FILMED 22 YEARS AGO. REALLY EXCITED, AND I'VE BEEN THRILLED IT'S` IT'S COME TO LIGHT ` PARTICULARLY THAT HE'S AT THIS MOST CONSEQUENTIAL OF PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS, AND WITH HIM BEING ONE OF THE MOST CONSEQUENTIAL PEOPLE IN THE WORLD. IN 2002, THE CONSEQUENCES WERE ALL ABOUT REAL ESTATE. AND WHERE TO NOW FOR DONALD TRUMP? ONWARDS, UPWARDS. THERE'S NO END TO THIS? WELL, THERE'S` WE'RE HAVING A LOT OF FUN DOING OTHER THINGS AND DOING WONDERFUL BUILDINGS IN NEW YORK. WE'RE STARTING A NEW ONE ON 59th AND PARK. HE WAS YET TO SHIFT FOCUS TO ANOTHER BUILDING ` A BIG WHITE HOUSE IN WASHINGTON, D.C. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. OK. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. GOOD LUCK. SIMON MERCEP, 1 NEWS. RESEARCHERS ARE TRYING TO SAFEGUARD THE ENDANGERED SOUTHERN WHITE RHINO BY INCREASING THE POPULATION'S GENETIC DIVERSITY. IT INVOLVES HARVESTING EGGS FROM RHINOS IN EUROPEAN ZOOS TO HELP THE ANIMALS THAT'VE BECOME TOO INBRED IN THE WILD. THE BBC'S REBECCA MORELLE WITH MORE. ZANTA IS A 22-YEAR-OLD SOUTHERN WHITE RHINO, AND SCIENTISTS WANT TO SAVE HER VALUABLE GENES. TO DO THAT, THEY NEED TO HARVEST HER EGGS. FIRST, SHE'S GIVEN SOME ANAESTHETIC... (DART FIRES) ...AND ONCE SHE'S ASLEEP, THE SPECIALIST TEAM GET TO WORK. ZANTA IS BEING CHECKED ALL THE TIME WHILE SHE IS UNDER SEDATION. SHE'S BEEN GIVEN A SPECIAL HORMONE INJECTION TO HELP HER PRODUCE EGGS, BUT COLLECTING THEM IS FAR FROM EASY ` IT REQUIRES PAINSTAKING PRECISION. THE HOPE IS, THOUGH, THAT SHE COULD HELP TO SAFEGUARD THE FUTURE OF HER SPECIES. ZANTA'S GENES COULD HELP THE WILD RHINO POPULATION. SOUTHERN WHITE RHINOS WERE ALMOST EXTINCT ` DOWN TO A FEW DOZEN ANIMALS. THEIR NUMBERS HAVE RECOVERED, BUT THEY'RE ALL DESCENDED FROM THAT TINY GROUP, SO THEY LACK GENETIC DIVERSITY. BUT RHINOS IN ZOOS HAVE BEEN CAREFULLY CROSSBRED SO THEIR GENES ARE MORE MIXED UP. A WIDER GENETIC DIVERSITY GIVES FOR A HEALTHIER POPULATION IN TERMS OF DISEASE, IN TERMS OF THEIR ABILITY TO SURVIVE. SO ZANTA HAVING WONDERFUL GENETICS THAT ARE WORTH PRESERVING... THE SCIENTISTS USE ULTRASOUND TO LOOK INSIDE ZANTA'S OVARIES. THEY LOCATE HER EGGS AND USE AN ULTRAFINE NEEDLE TO EXTRACT THEM. RIGHT, GOOD. GOOD REACTION. IT'S TAKEN YEARS TO DEVELOP THIS TECHNOLOGY, BUT SCIENTISTS SAY IT'S VITAL. THE RESEARCHERS HAVE MANAGED TO COLLECT FOUR EGGS; THEY'LL BE TAKEN TO A FERTILITY CENTRE IN ITALY TO CREATE NEW EMBRYOS. RHINO IVF IS STILL IN ITS INFANCY, BUT THE HOPE IS THEY'LL BE IMPLANTED IN A SURROGATE. A FEW MINUTES AFTER THE PROCEDURE, ZANTA IS UP. ALTHOUGH SHE DOESN'T KNOW IT, HER EGGS COULD MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE, ENSURING THE SURVIVAL OF FUTURE GENERATIONS OF SOUTHERN WHITE RHINOS. AND SCIENTISTS ULTIMATELY HOPE TO REPEAT THIS TECHNIQUE WITH THE SOUTHERN WHITE RHINO'S ALL-BUT-EXTINCT COUSIN, THE NORTHERN WHITE RHINO; THERE ARE ONLY TWO OF THEM LEFT, BOTH FEMALES. ANDREW'S BACK WITH US LIVE FROM EDEN PARK. HOW IS THIS FOR BEING ON THE SPOT? THE FORWARDS BEHIND US DOING A FEW LINEOUT WARM-UPS AHEAD OF KICK-OFF AFTER SEVEN HERE AT EDEN PARK. A REAL AREA OF EXPECTATION HERE. WE'LL PLUCK ONE OF THE ALL BLACKS' ASSISTANT COACHES OUT OF THE WARM-UP SOON. ALSO TONIGHT, ENGLAND OUT TO BREAK NOT JUST A 30-YEAR, BUT A 50-YEAR HOO-DOO; 1973 THEIR LAST WIN ON EDEN PARK. I THINK IT WOULD BE ONE OF THE GREATEST ACHIEVEMENTS OF ENGLISH RUGBY, BEING ABLE TO COME OUT HERE AND DO THAT. WE TOUCH ON SOME OF THE KEY AREAS IN THIS MATCH BEFORE KICK-OFF. PLUS, DOUBLES DELIGHT FOR NEW ZEALAND AT WIMBLEDON AS NOVAK PULLS THE STRINGS, HEADING TOWARDS GRAND SLAM NUMBER 25. AND WE GO BEHIND THE SCENES AT THE MOTORSPORT ACADEMY, CHURNING OUT TALENT FOR 20 YEARS AND BEYOND. ANEI NGA KORERO HAKINAKINA O TE WA ` WELCOME TO SPORT, AND WELCOME BACK TO EDEN PARK. KICK-OFF IN THIS SECOND ALL BLACKS/ENGLAND TEST IN AROUND HALF AN HOUR. A BIG MATCH EXPECTED BY MANY TONIGHT. THE ALL BLACKS WARMING UP. ASSISTANT COACH JASON HOLLAND WILL JOIN US SHORTLY. BUT FIRSTLY ` THERE'VE BEEN A FEW MIND GAMES DURING THE WEEK, ENGLAND CONSISTENTLY SAYING THIS 30-YEAR UNBEATEN RECORD HERE IS THE ALL BLACKS' TO PROTECT, NOT THEIRS. LET'S HEAR FROM SOME OF THE KEY PLAYERS AND COACHES. WHAT ARE YOU EXPECTING FROM THE ALL BLACKS ON SATURDAY NIGHT? YEAH, WE'RE EXPECTING ANOTHER INTENSE` FAST, INTENSE GAME. WE KNOW WHAT A QUALITY SIDE THEY ARE, AND, ERM, WE... CERTAINLY FROM LAST WEEKEND ` I THOUGHT IT WAS A GREAT TEST MATCH. WE'RE DISAPPOINTED TO BE ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THE RESULT BY A POINT, SO OUR AIM IS TO IMPROVE THIS WEEKEND. WHAT ARE THE KEY DIFFERENCES AT SCRUM TIME AGAINST A TEAM LIKE ENGLAND OR A NORTHERN-HEMISPHERE OUTFIT? YOU JUST HAVE TO HAVE A LITTLE BIT MORE CONTROL. IT'S NOT, I GUESS, QUITE LIKE GOING UP AGAINST AN AUSSIE PACK OR A SOUTH AFRICAN PACK, WHERE YOU'RE JUST TRYING TO BITE THROUGH THE MOUTH GUARD AND EDGE FORWARD. BUT IT'S JUST ABOUT BEING ABLE TO CONTROL YOURSELF ON THE HIP AND JUST GO TOGETHER. HAS IT BEEN A CASE OF TWEAKING A FEW THINGS HERE AND THERE? OH, THERE NEEDS TO BE ADJUSTMENT, AND WE'VE LOOKED AT THAT, AROUND... WHEN YOU'RE PLAYING ENGLAND TWO TIMES IN A ROW, AND... THE PERCEPTION OF WHERE WE ARE AND THE OPPORTUNITY THEY WOULD HAVE SEEN. SO, YEAH, WE'VE HAD TO ADJUST WHERE WE NEED TO BE AND WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE IN OUR GAME. THE CLARITY'S KEY, THOUGH. CLARITY FOR US THIS WEEK. SO` OF ANYTHING WE'VE TAKEN AWAY FROM OUR GAME. I THINK OUR TEAM ALWAYS HAS BELIEF. WHEN WE GO INTO EVERY GAME, ERM, TRYING TO IMPROVE THE LEVEL OF PERFORMANCE FROM OUR PREVIOUS GAME, AND THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT WE'LL DO THIS WEEKEND. CAN WE EXPECT TIGHTER PLAY FROM THE ALL BLACKS? MAYBE MORE PICK-AND-GOES? WELL, JUST DEPENDS ON THE NATURE OF THE GAME, YOU KNOW? IF WE DO GET A BIT OF A ROLL ON. I THINK, LIKE, YOU KNOW, YOU CAN PICK UP LITTLE CUES FROM THE MEDIA THROUGHOUT THE WEEK. I THINK THEY'LL PROBABLY BE MORE CONFRONTATIONAL, A LITTLE BIT MORE DIRECT. ERM... WE COME READY FOR THAT. I THINK IT WOULD BE A BRILLIANT WAY TO CAP OFF A ROLLER COASTER-YEAR, WITH A WIN AT EDEN PARK. A HUGE WEEKEND FOR ENGLISH SPORT ` THE EURO FOOTBALL FINAL AND WIMBLEDON IN LONDON, WHERE NOVAK DJOKOVIC WILL GET A SHOT AT REVENGE AGAINST CARLOS ALCARAZ. WE'VE COME TO EXPECT HEROICS FROM DJOKOVIC, BUT HIS 10th WIMBLEDON FINAL COMES JUST FIVE WEEKS AFTER A KNEE OPERATION. GUY HEVELDT HAS MORE. NOVAK DJOKOVIC IS PLAYING TO HIS OWN TUNE THIS WIMBLEDON ` WHETHER THE CROWD LIKE IT OR NOT. (CROWD BOOS) WHY ARE PEOPLE BOOING? DJOKOVIC BEATING LORENZO MUSETTI IN STRAIGHT SETS, DROPPING ONLY TWO SETS IN TOTAL ON HIS WAY TO ANOTHER FINAL ON THE GRASS. I DON'T WANNA STOP HERE. HOPEFULLY I'LL GET MY HANDS ON THAT TROPHY ON SUNDAY. MUSETTI BRAVE BUT ULTIMATELY BEATEN IN JUST SHORT OF THREE HOURS. WHILE HE TESTED DJOKOVIC AT TIMES, THE SERBIAN TYPICALLY HAD ALL THE ANSWERS. (CROWD GROANS) OH. NASTY. AFTER ALL, HE HAS MORE GRAND SLAM TITLES THAN THE ITALIAN HAS YEARS ON EARTH. THIS WIMBLEDON FINAL HIS FIRST DECIDER ALL SEASON ` AND, INCREDIBLY, JUST FIVE WEEKS AFTER KNEE SURGERY. THEY WERE THINKING IT'S PREMATURE; IT'S MAYBE RECKLESS, AS YOU... YOU KNOW, USE THAT TERM, BUT I DON'T THINK IT WAS. STANDING IN HIS WAY ` AH, YES ` THE 21-YEAR-OLD WHO TOOK HIS CROWN LAST YEAR. CARLOS ALCARAZ BEATING A VOCAL... UNSPORTSMANLIKE CONDUCT. WARNING, MR MEDVEDEV. ...AND DECENT DANIIL MEDVEDEV. ALCARAZ DROPPING THE FIRST SET ` BUT NOT DROPPING HIS LIP ` WINNING IN FOUR, AND NOW A WIN AWAY FROM A FOURTH GRAND SLAM TITLE. I KNOW HOW I'M GONNA FEEL, YOU KNOW, BEFORE THE FINAL. I'VE BEEN IN THIS POSITION BEFORE. UH, I WILL TRY TO DO THE THINGS THAT I DID WELL LAST YEAR. MONDAY'S FINAL THE SAME DAY ALCARAZ' COUNTRYMEN TAKE ON ENGLAND IN THE EURO FOOTBALL FINAL, AND THE 21-YEAR-OLD TAKING THE CHANCE TO CHUCK SOME CHEEK AT HOME FANS. IT'S GONNA BE A REALLY, UH, GOOD DAY FOR SPANISH PEOPLE AS WELL, YOU KNOW, WITH THE EURO CUP. (REPORTER LAUGHS, CROWD EXCLAIMS) I DIDN'T SAY SPAIN IS GOING TO WIN! I'M JUST SAYING THAT IT'S GONNA BE A REALLY FUN DAY. FUN FOR SOMEONE ` OR AN ENTIRE COUNTRY ` AND DEFINITELY THE SPORT OF TENNIS. GUY HEVELDT, 1 NEWS. KIWI ERIN ROUTLIFFE WILL PLAY IN TONIGHT'S WOMEN'S DOUBLES FINAL AND ON TOP OF THAT WILL OFFICIALLY BECOME THE TOP-RANKED WOMEN'S DOUBLES PLAYER NEXT WEEK. ROUTLIFFE AND CANADIAN PARTNER GABBY DABROWSKI WINNING THEIR SEMI-FINAL IN STRAIGHT SETS, SETTING UP A DECIDER AGAINST TAYLOR TOWNSEND AND KATERINA SINIAKOVA. IT'S ROUTLIFFE AND DABROWSKI'S SECOND GRAND SLAM FINAL, THE PAIR WINNING LAST YEAR'S U.S. OPEN. OH, THEY'VE DONE IT! (CHEERING) AND IN THE END, IT WAS AN EASY POINT, AN EASY WIN ` THE U.S. OPEN CHAMPIONS PUNCH THEIR TICKET TO THE WIMBLEDON FINAL. THE SECOND SEEDS ARE THROUGH. ROUTLIFFE BACK ON COURT SOON AFTER, TEAMING UP WITH FELLOW KIWI MICHAEL VENUS BUT LOSING THEIR MIXED DOUBLES SEMIFINAL. WE'LL HAVE ALL THE COVERAGE FROM CENTRE COURT LATER TONIGHT ` WOMEN'S SINGLES AND DOUBLES FINALS, LIVE AND FREE ON TVNZ+ AND RIGHT HERE ON ONE. HIGH-JUMPER HAMISH KERR'S HOT FORM HAS CONTINUED JUST DAYS OUT FROM THE OLYMPICS, WINNING GOLD AT THE LATEST DIAMOND LEAGUE MEET IN MONACO. KERR LOCKED IN A BATTLE WITH AMERICAN SHELBY McEWEN BEFORE MATCHING HIS OUTDOOR PERSONAL BEST TO TAKE THE WIN. 2.33. OH, YES! (CHEERING) THERE YOU GO! ALL EYES ON HAMISH KERR. WHAT A MOMENT FOR THE NEW ZEALANDER! ZOE HOBBS FINISHED SIXTH IN THE WOMEN'S 100m, AND TORI PETERS WAS SIXTH IN THE WOMEN'S JAVELIN. THE NORTHERN MYSTICS HAVE STRENGTHENED THEIR ANZ PREMIERSHIP FINALS HOPES WITH A CONVINCING 68-58 WIN AT HOME OVER THE TOP-OF-THE-TABLE CENTRAL PULSE. THE MYSTICS CREATING A STRONG BUFFER IN THE SECOND QUARTER, WINNING IT 22-13. WE KNOW THAT THEY'RE GONNA RUN THE BODY HARD, AND IF WE LET THE BALL GO WHEN WE'RE RUNNING IT HARD, WE'RE EITHER GONNA CAUSE A CONTACT OR WE'RE GONNA PUT THEM ON OUR BACKS AND NOT HAVE A THREE-FOOT GUARD. SO THAT'S THE GAME PLAN. AND IN ANOTHER COACHING SHAKE-UP, STEEL COACH REINGA BLOXHAM WILL RESIGN AT THE END OF THE SEASON TO PURSUE OPPORTUNITIES OVERSEAS. THE BLACK FOILS WILL TAKE AN AGGRESSIVE APPROACH TO THIS WEEKEND'S RACING TO MAKE SURE THEY'RE IN THE BEST SHAPE POSSIBLE FOR MONDAY'S SAIL GP GRAND FINAL IN SAN FRANCISCO. THE NEW ZEALAND TEAM HAVE ALREADY QUALIFIED FOR THE WINNER-TAKE-ALL THREE-BOAT FINAL, A RACE WORTH $3.3m, BUT THEY STILL HAVE THE SAN FRAN LEG OF THE SERIES TO TAKE PART IN FIRST. WE'LL BE GOING OUT THERE TO TRY AND BUILD MOMENTUM THROUGH THESE FIRST FIVE RACES. I MEAN, THE WORST THING WE COULD DO WOULD BE TO BACK OFF AND NOT BE READY TO GO COME THAT FINAL, SO WE'RE GONNA BE PUSHING HARD THE WHOLE WAY TO. SO WE'RE GONNA BE PUSHING HARD THE WHOLE WAY. FIGHTING FOR THE OTHER TWO SPOTS IN THE FINAL ARE AUSTRALIA, WHO'RE CHASING A FOURTH SAIL GP CROWN, ALONG WITH SPAIN AND FRANCE. IT'S COMMON FOR OUR BRIGHTEST MOTORSPORT TALENT TO CHASE THE SMELL OF BURNT RUBBER OVERSEAS; OVER THE PAST WEEK IN DUNEDIN, THE COUNTRY'S BEST YOUNG DRIVERS HAVE BEEN LEARNING WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT AT THE ELITE MOTORPSORT ACADEMY. HERE'S MICHELLE PRENDIVILLE. ASK THE NEXT GENERATION OF MOTORSPORT STARS TO NAVIGATE THEIR WAY AROUND A RACETRACK ` EASY. BUT A SUPERMARKET? I'VE NEVER BEEN FOOD SHOPPING IN, LIKE, FOUR YEARS. NOT SO MUCH. HOW MANY GRAMS IN A CUP? I DUNNO HOW MANY GRAMS IS IN A CUP. WE'RE TRYING TO GET THEM TO DEVELOP A REALLY INTENTIONAL MINDSET AROUND THEIR FUELLING ` FOR THEIR TRAINING, FOR THEIR RACING. THE ELITE MOTORSPORT ACADEMY NOT ONLY PREPARING OUR TOP JUNIOR DRIVERS FOR THE BIG STAGE BUT ALSO THE BIG WIDE WORLD. DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT SAUTE IS? IT'S LIKE A SAUCE. NO. A LOT OF US ATHLETES ARE PLANNING TO HEAD OVERSEAS IN THE NEXT YEAR OR SO, AND, YOU KNOW, WE'RE GONNA BE PROBABLY LIVING BY OURSELVES, SO I THINK IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT TO BE ABLE TO COOK AND LOOK AFTER OURSELVES. FROM NUTRITION AND COOKING TO FITNESS... ...ONE, AND UP! PANTS: PRETTY HARD WORK, TO BE HONEST. I'M STILL CATCHING MY BREATH NOW. BUT... GOOD FUN. ...EVEN PREPARING THEM FOR THE ELEMENTS ` AN HOUR'S SIMULATOR WORK IN THE HEAT CHAMBER CRANKED UP TO 42 DEGREES. AH, IT WAS, VERY, VERY HOT. VERY GOOD SIMULATION OF HOW IT'S SUPPOSED TO FEEL IN A HOT CAR. THE WEEK-LONG CAMP IN DUNEDIN RECOGNISED BY THE WORLD GOVERNING BODY. SO, THE MODERN DRIVER NEEDS TO BE ABLE TO EXCEL OFF THE TRACK AS WELL, AND GET BACK TO THE GRASSROOT DAYS OF MAYBE THE BRUCE McLARENS AND DENNY HULMESES OR THE PAUL RADISICHES, WHERE YOU LIVED OUT OF THE BACK OF YOUR TRAILER WHEN YOU WENT TO A RACETRACK, YOU KNOW? SO ELIMINATE THE PAMPERING AND GET BACK TO THE HARDENING UP, AND THAT WILL MAKE A BETTER-ROUNDED PERSON. NEW ZEALAND MOTORSPORTS RIDING HIGH ON THE INTERNATIONAL STAGE ` A LOT OF IT CREDIT TO THIS PROGRAMME THAT'S BEEN RUNNING FOR 20 YEARS. EARL BAMBER, HAYDEN PADDON, BRENDON HARTLEY AND SHANE VAN GISBERGEN ALL GRADUATES. OUT OF THESE EIGHT HERE, THERE'S DEFINITELY A COUPLE THAT WE'RE GONNA SEE IN THE HEADLINES WITHIN THE NEXT THREE OR FOUR YEARS. GRASSROOTS NOW, BUT ON THEIR WAY TO BE FUTURE CHAMPIONS. MICHELLE PRINEVILLE, 1 NEWS. BEFORE WE LEAVE YOU ` FROM EDEN PARK, JOINING US NOW FRESH FROM THE ALL BLACKS' WARM-UP, ASSISTANT COACH JASON HOLLAND. JASON, I WANT TO LOOK AT THIS DEFENCE FROM THE ENGLISH. WHAT CAN YOU DO TO GET THROUGH IT, OVER IT TONIGHT? THE MAIN THING IS WE NEED TO GO FORWARD. GO BACK BEFORE THEY CAN COME FORWARD. WE WILL BE DOMINANT IN OUR CARIES. MAKE SOME OF THE GOOD DECISIONS ABOUT THE EDGES. ARE REALLY GOOD CHALLENGE FOR THE NEW COACHES THIS WEEK TO IMPROVE FROM LAST WEEK. WHAT HAS BEEN THE KEY FOR YOU? IT HAS BEEN. THINGS WE KNOW WE NEED TO BE BETTER. TWO WERE THREE LITTLE TWEAKS THAT WE HAVE MADE TO OPEN UP THE DEFENCE. AN AUSTRALIAN REFEREE AND JUDGE.

IF THE ALL BLACKS CAN PLAY AT TEMPO, AND GET GOING WITH THE BALL AND FRONT FOOTBALL AND CONVERT THE OPPORTUNITIES, THEY SHOULD BE ABLE TO WIN HERE TONIGHT, KEEPING THE EVEN PARK RECORD INTACT.
