TONIGHT ` MAJOR ANIMAL WELFARE CONCERNS AT CHRISTCHURCH'S ORANA WILDLIFE PARK. WHAT GRAPHIC LEAKED IMAGES HAVE REVEALED AS THE ZOO'S MANAGEMENT RESPONDS. WE ARE GOING TO TAKE BACK THE WHITE HOUSE. WHAT IT'LL TAKE TO GET BACK THERE AS DONALD TRUMP HAS HIS FIRST RALLY SINCE ESCAPING AN ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT. AND WITH A MESSAGE ON HIS SOCIALS, ARDIE SAVEA REVEALS WHICH SUPER RUGBY PACIFIC JERSEY HE'LL BE PULLING ON NEXT. CAPTIONS BY BRIGIT KELLY AND ALEX WALKER. CAPTIONS WERE MADE WITH THE SUPPORT OF NZ ON AIR. WWW.ABLE.CO.NZ COPYRIGHT ABLE 2024 TENA TATOU KATOA I TENEI PO. WELCOME TO 1 NEWS THIS EVENING. HORROR AND HEARTBREAK, INCLUDING DEADLY INFECTIONS AND GRUESOME INJURIES IN A FACILITY THAT'S SUPPOSED TO BE A SAFE HAVEN FOR ANIMALS. TONIGHT, WE BEGIN WITH COVERAGE OF AN EXCLUSIVE 1 NEWS INVESTIGATION INTO ORANA WILDLIFE PARK IN CHRISTCHURCH, ONE OF THE MOST POPULAR ZOOS IN NEW ZEALAND AND THE ONLY ONE IN THE SOUTH ISLAND. HOME TO MORE THAN 1000 ANIMALS ACROSS 90 SPECIES, ORANA PARK SELLS ITSELF AS A SANCTUARY FOR CREATURES LIKE LIONS, RHINOS AND GORILLAS. BUT 1 NEWS HAS SPOKEN TO 20 CURRENT AND FORMER STAFF MEMBERS, WITH SERIOUS ANIMAL WELFARE CONCERNS ABOUT THE PARK'S OPERATIONS. THEY'VE DETAILED DEATHS AND INJURIES THAT HAVE EITHER NEVER BEEN BROUGHT TO LIGHT OR, IN SOME CASES, WERE MISREPRESENTED BY THE PARK. A WARNING ` OUR COVERAGE INCLUDES IMAGES SOME VIEWERS WILL FIND UPSETTING. AND IT'S NOT JUST THE WELFARE OF ANIMALS; OUR SPECIAL INVESTIGATION WILL ALSO DIG INTO MULTIPLE ALLEGATIONS AROUND THE TREATMENT OF STAFF AT THE ZOO, HEALTH AND SAFETY ISSUES, AND ASK THE HARD QUESTIONS TO THOSE WHO REGULATE THE INDUSTRY. OUR REPORTER THOMAS MEAD HAS A SERIES OF STORIES OVER THE NEXT WEEK, AND HE'LL HAVE MORE DETAILS ON THOSE SHORTLY. BUT FIRST ` TONIGHT'S REPORT. THIS IS MAHALI, A HAPPY AND PLAYFUL GORILLA WHO WAS ONCE THE PRIDE OF ORANA WILDLIFE PARK. BUT IN 2021, HIS JOY DISAPPEARED ` HIS STOMACH CONCAVED, RIBS SHOWING, HIS EYES SUNKEN INTO HIS FACE. SIMPLY WHAT HE WENT THROUGH, THE AGONY THAT HE WOULD HAVE BEEN IN IN HIS LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS WAS HARROWING. HIS CASE IS ONE OF MANY CONCERNING INCIDENTS UNCOVERED IN LEAKED PHOTOS, DOCUMENTS AND EMAILS OBTAINED BY 1 NEWS. ZOOKEEPERS RAISING THE ALARM. WHEN YOU'RE CONSTANTLY FIGHTING THIS BATTLE, AND THE ANIMALS ARE LOSING IT, IT'S SO HEARTBREAKING. I HAVE SEEN SOME OF THE STRONGEST PEOPLE I KNOW BREAK INTO TEARS. I'VE SPOKEN TO 20 CURRENT AND FORMER ORANA WILDLIFE PARK EMPLOYEES, MANY OF WHOM DESCRIBED A CHAOTIC ENVIRONMENT INSIDE THE PARK'S EXOTIC ANIMALS TEAM, SAYING IT WAS SOMETIMES CHRONICALLY UNDER-STAFFED, AND THERE HAVE BEEN ANIMAL DEATHS AND INJURIES THE PUBLIC HAVE NEVER BEEN INFORMED ABOUT. FOUR MONTHS AGO, THIS NYALA BUCK TORE ITS FACE ON A FENCE DURING A MOVE TO A NEW PADDOCK. EARLIER THIS YEAR, FOUR CHEETAH WERE PUT DOWN WITH RENAL FAILURE, TWO OF THEM YOUNG. IN 2023, TWO ADDAX DIED WITH BACTERIAL OVERGROWTH. AND IN 2022, AN OTTER WAS KILLED AFTER BECOMING TRAPPED IN A SUCTION PIPE IN HIS POOL. ORANA DECLINED OUR INTERVIEW REQUEST BUT SAID IN A STATEMENT... BUT QUESTIONS REMAIN ABOUT WHETHER THE PUBLIC HAVE BEEN KEPT IN THE DARK. BACK IN 2021, ORANA REVEALED A GIRAFFE NAMED MABUTI HAD DIED IN A POST ON FACEBOOK, ONLY SAYING IT WAS DUE TO AN 'UNSURVIVABLE CONDITION'. BUT ACCORDING TO MULTIPLE SOURCES, MABUTI DISLOCATED A BONE IN HIS NECK AFTER BECOMING TRAPPED IN A SET OF BARS IN HIS ENCLOSURE OVERNIGHT. UNABLE TO STAND, HE SUFFERED CATASTROPHIC INTERNAL DAMAGE. HIS BODY WAS DRAGGED OUT WITH A DIGGER. ORANA SAYS ITS FACEBOOK POST ALLOWED THE ANIMAL DIGNITY AND GAVE PEOPLE ENOUGH INFORMATION. BUT ANOTHER GIRAFFE DEATH WAS NEVER MADE PUBLIC. IN 2021, ZOO STAFF FOUND A DEAD NEWBORN, SEEN HERE AT ITS POST-MORTEM. FOUR SOURCES SAY IT ESCAPED AND DIED IN A NEIGHBOURING OUTDOOR ENCLOSURE BEFORE ANYONE KNEW IT WAS BORN. THE PARK BLAMES THE KEEPERS, SAYING MANAGERS WERE UNAWARE A BIRTH WAS IMMINENT. BUT TIME AND TIME AGAIN, ORANA'S ZOOKEEPERS HAVE TOLD 1 NEWS THAT THEIR CONCERNS HAVE NOT BEEN LISTENED TO BY MANAGEMENT. ONE OF THE CLEAREST EXAMPLES OF WHAT'S ALLEGED IS MAHALI'S CASE IN 2021. MEDICAL NOTES LEAKED TO 1 NEWS SHOW HIS KEEPERS SAW SIGNS OF SICKNESS EARLY ON ` FIRST NOTING THE GORILLA'S SUDDEN LOSS OF APPETITE, SAYING HE WASN'T INTERESTED IN FEEDS, THEN A RUNNY NOSE, COUGHING AND MUCOUS IN HIS FAECES. WE SPOKE TO THREE ZOOKEEPERS WHO SAID, AT THE TIME, THEY REPEATEDLY ASKED EXOTIC SPECIES MANAGER RACHAEL MASON TO BRING A VET IN FOR A PHYSICAL ASSESSMENT. ORANA DOESN'T HAVE ONE ON STAFF. SHE HAD SAID SHE'D BEEN IN CONTACT WITH THE VET. SHE'D PASSED ON THE BEHAVIOURAL SIGNS THAT WE'D SEEN, AND FOR THE TIME BEING, WE'D DO A LIGHT COURSE OF PAIN RELIEF. BASED ON THE SYMPTOMS, THE VET SUSPECTED MAHALI WAS SUFFERING FROM A VIRAL, FLU-LIKE INFECTION, AND HE WAS GIVEN PANADOL AND NUROFEN. BUT KEEPERS SAY IT WAS CLEAR SOMETHING MORE SERIOUS WAS GOING ON. AS IT TURNS OUT, HE WAS DYING WITH AN UNDIAGNOSED AND RARE BACTERIAL INFECTION. FOR AN ANIMAL TO WASTE AWAY SEVERELY AS MUCH AS HE DID WITHIN THE SPACE OF TWO WEEKS, I THINK AGAIN SHOWS JUST THE STATE HE WAS IN. KEEPERS SAY BY THE TIME ADEQUATE INTERVENTION BEGAN, IT WAS TOO LATE. THE DAY AFTER THIS ULTRASOUND, HE DIED. HIS LIVER WAS IN QUITE AN AWFUL STATE. IT WAS TWO TO THREE TIMES THE SIZE THAT IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN. IN RESPONSE, THE ZOO'S EXTERNALLY CONTRACTED VET SAID HE WAS IN REGULAR CONTACT WITH ORANA AND SUGGESTED THE SIGNS INDICATED A VIRAL INFECTION WAS 'MOST LIKELY' AND THAT'S WHY NO ANTIBIOTICS WERE GIVEN, ADDING ` THE TYPE OF CONDITION MAHALI SUFFERED WAS SO RARE, IT'S NOT MENTIONED IN ANY TEXTBOOKS OR LITERATURE. WHEN THE ZOO ANNOUNCED MAHALI'S DEATH ON FACEBOOK, IT SAID IT HAD 'IMMEDIATELY IMPLEMENTED A TREATMENT PLAN'. BUT KEEPERS BELIEVE THE PANADOL AND NUROFEN HE WAS GIVEN WASN'T ENOUGH. I JUST DO NOT AGREE THAT EVERYTHING WAS DONE THAT WE COULD HAVE POSSIBLY DONE TO SAVE HIM. WHAT WE'LL NEVER KNOW IS WHETHER MAHALI WOULD STILL BE ALIVE IF THE KEEPERS WERE LISTENED TO. THE PARK'S MANAGEMENT SENT YOU THAT RESPONSE, THOMAS. WHAT MORE HAVE THEY HAD TO SAY? WE SENT THEM A LONG LIST OF QUESTIONS THEY SENT US A LONG LIST OF ANSWERS IN RESPONSE. IT'S FAIR TO SUM UP THEIR VIEWS ` THEY DON'T THINK IT'S APPROPRIATE FOR PEOPLE TO COMMENT ON THESE THINGS UNLESS THEY HAVE THE FULL MEDICAL FILES. THEY SAY THERE ARE FULL REASONABLE EXPLANATIONS FOR THE DEATHS. THEY SAY THE YOUNG DRAFT WAS A NERVOUS ANIMAL. RENAL FAILURE IS A COMMON AND UNFORTUNATE FORM OF DEATH FOR A CHEATER. THE ADDOX SUFFERED FROM A TYPE OF BACTERIA FROM COLD WEATHER. ACCIDENTS OCCUR. HOW DID THIS STORY COME ABOUT, THOMAS? WHAT STARTED YOU LOOKING INTO IT? IT STARTED WHEN I RECEIVED AN ANONYMOUS LETTER AND MAY WITH ALL SORTS OF ALLEGATIONS FROM ANIMAL ISSUES TO TOXIC CULTURE. WE DID A SMALL STORY AT THE TIME, BACK THEN THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OF THE SUE REFUTED THE CLAIMS, BUT IT OPENED THE FLOODGATES ON MY PHONE HAS BEEN RINGING DAY AND NIGHT BY FORMER AND CURRENT ORANA STAFF MEMBERS. WE ARE GOING TO CONTINUE REPORTING ON THOSE, INCLUDING CLAIMS THAT THEY HAVE BEEN UNDERSTAFFED, AFFECTING THE WELFARE OF THOSE ANIMALS. THANKS, THOMAS.

MICROSOFT NOW ESTIMATES 8.5 MILLION WINDOWS DEVICES WERE DISABLED WHEN A FAULTY UPDATE WAS ROLLED OUT BY CYBERSECURITY COMPANY CROWDSTRIKE. HERE IN NEW ZEALAND, THERE'S A WARNING FROM OUR CYBER EMERGENCY OFFICE TO BE WARY OF SCAMMERS TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THE OUTAGE WHILE THE RECOVERY'S ONGOING. AND SOME TRAVELLERS ARE STILL FACING DISRUPTIONS TWO DAYS ON, WITH A FURTHER 2000 FLIGHTS CANCELLED WORLDWIDE IN THE PAST 24 HOURS. THAT BRINGS THE TOTAL NUMBER OF FLIGHTS IMPACTED TO MORE THAN 9000. AS YOU CAN IMAGINE, IT'S LEFT MANY FRUSTRATED. I'VE BEEN STRANDED FOR AROUND... OVER 24 HOURS BY NOW, I THINK. I'VE BEEN ON MY FEET FOR FOUR DAYS BY NOW, I THINK, AND... NO ONE CAN REALLY HELP ME RIGHT NOW. WE'VE FOUND ANOTHER FLIGHT, BUT IT'S NOT ON THE SAME COMPANY, AND IT'S ONLY TOMORROW MORNING, SO WE HAVE TO FIND A ROOM FOR TONIGHT. THE OLYMPICS ALSO FELL VICTIM TO THE I.T. OUTAGE JUST DAYS OUT FROM THE GAMES GETTING UNDERWAY IN PARIS. THE GLITCH CRASHING THE ACCREDITATION SYSTEM FOR ATHLETES AND OFFICIALS, MEANING THEY COULDN'T BE SCANNED INTO SECURE AREAS. SOME EXPERTS ARE QUESTIONING SOME EXPERTS ARE QUESTIONING WHETHER THE EVENT COULD BE VULNERABLE TO CYBERATTACKS. THERE ARE A NUMBER OF THREAT ACTORS WHO COULD BE INTERESTED IN ENDANGERING THE OLYMPICS OR USING IT AS A PLATFORM FOR THEIR MESSAGES. ONE OF THE MAJOR ONES IS CERTAINLY THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION. OLYMPIC ORGANISERS INSIST THEY'RE PREPARED FOR CYBERATTACKS, AND THE CURRENT I.T. GLITCH IS MANAGEABLE. THE INTERNATIONAL OLYMPIC COMMITTEE SAYS IT HAS FULL CONFIDENCE IN THE GAMES SECURITY. TWO PEOPLE HAVE BEEN TAKEN TO HOSPITAL WITH SERIOUS INJURIES AFTER AN EARLY MORNING INCIDENT IN CHRISTCHURCH. AN INVESTIGATION IS UNDERWAY AFTER AN ASSAULT ON HEREFORD STREET IN THE CITY CENTRE. POLICE WERE CALLED JUST AFTER 4 THIS MORNING. HOURS LATER, BLOOD COULD BE SEEN ON THE GROUND, AND THE AREA'S BEEN CORDONED OFF WHILE THE SCENE'S EXAMINED. POLICE SAY THEY'RE STILL WORKING TO FIND OUT WHAT HAPPENED. IN AUCKLAND, THERE'S BEEN A MAJOR POLICE RESPONSE AFTER MULTIPLE SHOTS WERE FIRED AT A HOME LAST NIGHT. ARMED OFFICERS DESCENDED ON A MANGERE ADDRESS WHICH WAS DAMAGED IN THE SHOOTING. POLICE SAY IT'S TOO EARLY TO TELL IF IT'S GANG-RELATED, AND THEY'RE STILL INVESTIGATING WHAT HAPPENED. A SCENE EXAMINATION WAS BEING CARRIED OUT THIS MORNING. A WEEK AFTER HE WAS ALMOST ASSASSINATED, DONALD TRUMP IS BACK ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL. AT HIS FIRST RALLY AFTER THE SHOOTING, SUPPORTERS IN MICHIGAN TURNED OUT IN HUGE NUMBERS. US CORRESPONDENT LOGAN CHURCH WAS THERE. # GOD BLESS THE USA # A FAMILIAR SOUNDTRACK. # I'M PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN # AND A FAMILIAR HERO'S WELCOME FOR THE REPUBLICAN NOMINEE WHO NARROWLY ESCAPED DEATH. DONALD TRUMP BACK IN CAMPAIGN MODE WITH HIS VICE PRESIDENTIAL PACK. OHIO SENATOR JD VANCE. YOU'RE GOING TO BE A FANTASTIC VICE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. AND, YOU KNOW, I CHOSE HIM BECAUSE HE'S FOR THE WORKER. TRUMP'S RELENTLESS RALLY SCHEDULE BACK IN FULL SWING AS HE ATTEMPTS TO BEAT A PATH BACK TO THE WHITE HOUSE. LESS THAN FOUR MONTHS FROM NOW, WE ARE GOING TO WIN MICHIGAN. WE ARE GOING TO TAKE BACK THE WHITE HOUSE WITH A MONUMENTAL LANDSLIDE. AND WITH YOUR HELP, WE ARE GOING TO MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN. RIGHT, RIGHT. USA. USA. OUTSIDE THE PARTY-FAITHFUL GATHERED IN HUGE NUMBERS, SHUTTING DOWN STREETS IN CENTRAL GRAND RAPIDS. TRUMP, BABY. YES, SUPPORT PRESIDENT TRUMP. IT'S A GOOD CROWD. I MEAN, EVERYBODY HERE IS PEACEFUL. WE'RE ALL HAVING IT ` WE'RE ALL HAVING A GOOD TIME. JUST TO SUPPORT DONALD TRUMP. WE WANT TO WE WANT TO SHOW OUR SUPPORT. YOU KNOW, WE GOT TO CHANGE SOME THINGS IN THIS COUNTRY, SO WE'RE GOING TO ` WE WANT TO GET IT DONE. THE LAST TIME DONALD TRUMP HOSTED A RALLY LIKE THIS, HE WAS ALMOST ASSASSINATED. SOMEONE DIED AND SEVERAL OTHERS WERE INJURED. BUT THAT HASN'T STOPPED THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE TURNING UP HERE TODAY; WE'RE TOLD THAT THIS LINE CIRCLES BACK FOR KILOMETRES. (WOMAN WHOOPING) POLICE AND SECRET SERVICE HERE IN FORCE TOO, ON HIGH ALERT GIVEN LAST WEEKEND'S ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT. I JUST THOUGHT IT WAS JUST ATROCIOUS WHAT HAPPENED TO PRESIDENT TRUMP, YOU KNOW, WE NEED TO BE MORE HUMAN AGAIN. INSTEAD OF BEING SCARED AWAY, TRUMP'S MAGA LOYALISTS SEEM MORE DETERMINED THAN EVER. AFTER WHAT HAPPENED THERE MAN, I WAS LIKE, OH HELL YEAH, THAT'S OUR PRESIDENT, YOU KNOW? BUT I THINK THAT JUST MAKES IT A LITTLE BIT MORE SIGNIFICANT, RIGHT, THAT WE COME OUT AND WE SHOW OUR SUPPORT AFTER THAT HAPPENED. LET DONALD J. TRUMP KNOW THAT PEOPLE AREN'T SCARED TO COME OUT AND SUPPORT HIM, AND WE'RE HERE FOR HIM. WHETHER THERE'S A SNIPER UP THERE TRYING TO SHOOT AT US OR NOT, WE DO NOT CARE. WE WANT TO BE HERE SO THAT WE CAN SUPPORT WHO WE SUPPORT FOR OUR COUNTRY. DONALD TRUMP NOT LETTING ANY NUMBER OF BULLETS KEEP HIM FROM THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL. WHAT A WEEK, LOGAN. SO CAN HE WIN? CAN HE RETURN TO THE WHITE HOUSE? EVERY REPUBLICAN I SPOKE TO IN GRAND RAPIDS SAID THAT THEY HAD THE BAG. THEY LOOK AT WHAT'S HAPPENING ON OTHER SIDE AND CAN ONLY SEE CHAOS. I HAVE ALSO SPOKEN TO A NUMBER OF DEMOCRATS THAT'S BECAUSE IN THE MAGICAL WAY US ELECTIONS ARE CARRIED OUT PEOPLE THINK THIS WILL COME DOWN TO THE SMALL TOWNS OF AMERICA THAT COULD FLIP AWAY. IF YOU PUT POLICY TO EITHER SIDE ` . YOU'VE REALLY GOT TWO CHOICES ONE ` A PARTY THAT SEEMS ORGANISED. ONE PARTY THAT SEEMS UNABLE TO CONTROL ITSELF. THANKS, LOGAN. ISRAEL'S CONFIRMED JETS HAVE CARRIED OUT RETALIATORY STRIKES ON PARTS OF YEMEN CONTROLLED BY THE HOUTHI REBELS A DAY AFTER THE IRANIAN-BACKED GROUP LAUNCHED A DRONE ATTACK, KILLING ONE PERSON IN TEL AVIV. YEMEN TV HAS REPORTED A PORT CITY ON THE RED SEA WAS TARGETED, WITH OIL STORAGE FACILITIES AND A POWER PLANT HIT. LOCAL AUTHORITIES SAY AT LEAST THREE PEOPLE HAVE BEEN KILLED, WITH MORE THAN 80 OTHERS SUFFERING BURNS. COMING UP, THE MESSAGE TO TAURANGA?S INCOMING MAYOR FROM LOCALS. YOU'VE GOT A BLANK CANVAS, GOOD ON YOU. THE OPPORTUNITY IS HUGE. HOW CHAMPION ROWER MAHE DRYSDALE PLANS TO TURN THE CITY AROUND. AND WHAT ARE THESE HARVARD SCHOLARS DOING ON A CANTERBURY RUGBY FIELD? TAURANGA'S INCOMING MAYOR IS PROMISING TO UNITE THE COUNCIL AND BRING THE CITY BACK TO LIFE FOLLOWING ITS FIRST ELECTION SINCE 2019. PRELIMINARY RESULTS RELEASED JUST OVER AN HOUR AGO SHOW FORMER OLYMPIAN MAHE DRYSDALE COMFORTABLY IN THE LEAD TO TAKE THE MAYORAL CHAINS. TE ANIWA HURIHANGANUI HAS MORE. MAHE DRYSDALE GETTING TO KNOW THE CONSTITUENTS... I'M NICOLE. I VOTED FOR YOU. OH, THANK YOU. ...WHO HAVE ENTRUSTED HIM TO TURN THEIR CITY AROUND. YOU'VE GOT A BLANK CANVAS, AND GOOD ON YOU. THE OPPORTUNITY IS HUGE. THE CHAMPION ROWER'S ELECTION HERALDING TAURANGA'S RETURN TO DEMOCRACY AFTER FIVE LONG YEARS. THE PREVIOUS COUNCIL WAS SO DYSFUNCTIONAL IT WAS SACKED AND REPLACED BY COMMISSIONERS. I WANNA GET ROUND EVERY SINGLE COUNCILLOR INDIVIDUALLY, UM, YOU KNOW, UNDERSTAND THEM, FIGURE OUT WHERE THEIR STRENGTHS ARE. UNITING THE TEAM HIS FIRST PRIORITY... I WANT EVERYONE TO PARK THEIR EGOS, PARK THEIR AGENDAS AT THE DOOR. ...BEFORE TACKLING THE CITY'S BIGGEST PROBLEMS, INCLUDING A LACK OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND LAGGING INFRASTRUCTURE. THE CITY HAS GROWN 76% SINCE THE YEAR 2000. IT'S LARGELY ON THE SAME ROADING NETWORK AS IT WAS. ADD TO THAT CRIPPLING CONGESTION AND BUSINESSES SHUTTING UP SHOP. FIX THIS DOWNTOWN, EH. IT'S A BIT DEAD. NO ONE'S AROUND. SO MANY EMPTY SHOPS. LESS ROADWORKS. (LAUGHS) OH MY GOSH. FIX THE PARKING IN THE CBD. OBVIOUSLY, THE MOUNT'S THRIVING, BUT, YEAH, TAURANGA ITSELF IS SORT OF DYING, AND I THINK... YEAH, I THINK TAURANGA NEEDS SOMETHING. DRYSDALE WANTS TO BRING IT BACK TO LIFE, TELLING THESE RESIDENTS PLANNED WATERFRONT UPGRADES AND A NEW CIVIC PRECINCT IN THE CITY CENTRE WILL GO A LONG WAY. HOPEFULLY THIS WILL BE THE CATALYST. THERE ARE OTHER POSITIVE SIGNS. UNDER THE COMMISSION, PARTICULARLY, THEY'VE STARTED TO INVEST IN THE CITY CENTRE, AND WE'VE SEEN PRIVATE SECTOR INVESTORS COME BACK IN. THERE'S, I THINK, EIGHT CONSTRUCTION CRANES UP THERE NOW. THE INCOMING MAYOR'S CONFIDENT HIS TEAM CAN CONTINUE TO DELIVER WHAT THE CITY NEEDS, DESPITE MOST OF THEM BEING NEW TO THE GAME. THE TEAM HAVE GOT A LOT OF EXPERIENCE. MAYBE NOT IN IN POLITICS, BUT THEY'VE` THEY'VE ALL, YOU KNOW, HAD SUCCESS IN OTHER PARTS OF THEIR LIFE. THE FINAL ELECTION RESULT WILL BE KNOWN NEXT WEEK. TE ANIWA HURIHANGANUI, 1 NEWS. TE PATI MAORI MP TAKUTAI TARSH KEMP HAS REVEALED SHE HAS KIDNEY DISEASE. THE MP FOR TAMAKI MAKAURAU SAYS SHE'S STARTED TREATMENT TODAY AND WILL BE ON LEAVE FOR THE NEXT SIX WEEKS. HER ANNOUNCEMENT COMES AS NEW QUESTIONS ARE RAISED OVER HER CAMPAIGN EXPENSES. FOLLOWING A STORY BY TVNZ'S Q+A PROGRAMME, THE ELECTORAL COMMISSION'S CONFIRMED IT'S LOOKING INTO HER DONATIONS AND DECLARATIONS. KEMP USED A VAN REGISTERED TO MANUREWA MARAE IN THE ELECTION, BUT HER RETURN HAS NO REFERENCE TO THE MARAE OR HER USING THE VEHICLE. A PILOT SCHEME THAT ASSURES MUCH NEEDED WORKERS FOR A COMPANY PRODUCING HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN EXPORTS A YEAR IS ON THE LINE. FIFTY-FIVE SOLOMON ISLANDERS HAVE BEEN EMPLOYED AT A MUSSEL FARM IN OPOTIKI IN PARTNERSHIP WITH A LOCAL PACIFIC ISLANDS TRUST BUT CHANGES TO THEIR VISA SETTINGS IS PUTTING THE FUTURE OF THE PROGRAMME IN JEOPARDY. PACIFIC CORRESPONDENT BARBARA DREAVER REPORTS. WHAKATOHEA MUSSELS IS A BIG EMPLOYER IN OPOTIKI. CLOSE TO 190 PEOPLE WORK HERE, 55 OF THEM SOLOMON ISLANDERS. HAS IT STABILISED OUR BUSINESS? I THINK OUR MODEL AND OUR EMPLOYMENT PROGRAM, UM, IS NEW FOR OUR FOR OUR COUNTRY AND IT IS A REALLY GOOD MODEL. SO FOR US TO LOSE OUR TEAM WOULD BE A HUGE LOSS. MOST PACIFIC REGIONAL WORKERS ARRIVE ON SEASONAL VISAS FOR A SHORT TIME AND ONLY IN THE HORTICULTURE AND AGRICULTURE SECTORS. SO THIS AQUACULTURE COMPANY PARTNERED WITH THE PACIFIC ISLAND COMMUNITY TRUST AND BROUGHT THE WORKERS OVER ON ACCREDITED EMPLOYER WORK VISAS INSTEAD. IN THIS PILOT PARTNERSHIP, THE TRUST LOOKS AFTER THE WORKERS' HEALTH AND WELLBEING THROUGH A CULTURAL LENS, AND THE COMPANY PROVIDES A POSITIVE EMPLOYMENT EXPERIENCE. WE INVEST A LOT IN OUR PEOPLE. BUT THE VISA SETTING'S BEING TIGHTENED, WORKERS NOW NEED THREE YEARS' EXPERIENCE. WITH NO MUSSEL FARMS IN THE SOLOMON ISLANDS THAT MEANS AFTER THESE WORKERS' VISAS EXPIRE, THEY CAN'T BE REPLACED. A DEVASTATING BLOW FOR AN INDUSTRY STRUGGLING FOR LABOUR. AN EXEMPTION FOR THIS SECTOR IS REALLY IMPORTANT. THIS ALLOWS US TO TO BE ABLE TO SUPPORT MORE WORKERS COMING INTO THIS COUNTRY. PLANS FOR THE PILOT TO BE EXTENDED TO A SOUTH ISLAND AQUACULTURE COMPANY AND NOW ON HOLD. AND WE HAVE ANOTHER GROUP THAT ARE READY, WORK READY TO COME AND TO BE PART OF THE PROGRAM. BUT SINCE THE VISA SETTING HAS COME IN AND REQUIRED THREE YEARS OF MINIMUM EXPERIENCE, IT'S STOPPING THEM TO COME. IT'S MONEY DESPERATELY NEEDED BACK HOME. A THIRD OF THE WORKERS HERE ARE SOLOMON ISLANDERS AND THEY'RE HERE FOR A THREE YEAR STINT. THE MONEY THAT THEY'RE EARNING'S GOING BACK TO THEIR FAMILIES TO BUILD HOMES AND START BUSINESSES. I HAVE TO SAVE MONEY TO BUILD HOUSES FOR MY FAMILY AND ALSO TO HELP MY SON FOR HIS SCHOOL FEE. JAYVIN KAEFIA BOUGHT A BOAT SO HIS FAMILY, CAN CATCH FISH TO SELL, AND PAYS UNIVERSITY FEES FOR THREE KIDS. WE ARE PROUD OF THIS OPPORTUNITY. IT MAKES A LOT OF CHANGES IN OUR FAMILY. IMMIGRATION MINISTER ERICA STANFORD TOLD 1 NEWS CHANGES TO THE VISA ARE CURRENTLY BEING LOOKED AT TO BETTER REFLECT DIFFERENT SECTORS AND REGIONS, ALONG WITH THE GOVERNMENT'S COMMITMENT TO SUPPORT PACIFIC NEIGHBOURS. IT'S NOT THE END. WE WOULD LIKE THE GOVERNMENT TO COME IN AND SEE THAT THE WORK THAT WE HAVE DONE. WORK THAT'S RESULTED IN A WIN-WIN FOR COMPANY AND WORKERS. BARBARA DRIVER, 1 NEWS. NEXT, PAVING THE WAY IN PROMOTING TE REO. WHATEVER THE KEY IS THAT GETS MORE PEOPLE SPEAKING. HOW IT'S HOPED OTHERS WILL FOLLOW AUCKLAND UNIVERSITY'S LEAD. PLUS THE SOUTH ISLAND'S SCOTTISH ROOTS MAY HAVE BEEN ON FULL DISPLAY BUT IT WAS SOME DUTCH COURAGE GETTING THESE HARDY RUNNERS THROUGH. A WEE DRAM JUST TO HELP EVERYBODY OUT ON THEIR RUN. THE DEEP BLOW THAT MOVED DOWN FROM THE NORTH YESTERDAY IS OUT NEAR THE CHATHAMS NOW, WHERE IT HAS BECOME SLOW-MOVING FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS, BUT WE'RE NOT OUT OF THE WOODS YET AS ANOTHER RAIN-BEARING SYSTEM PUSHES ON AS WE START THE NEW WEEK. I'LL HAVE DETAILS FOR YOU AFTER SPORT. Someone left the fridge door open again. Someone keeps leaving the TV on. Someone's been using a lot of hot water. VOICEOVER: Track your home's energy usage with the Genesis Energy IQ app. YOU WILL BE HEARD. THAT'S THE GOVERNMENT'S PROMISE TO SURVIVORS OF ABUSE IN STATE- AND FAITH- BASED CARE. THE ROYAL COMMISSION'S FINAL REPORT WILL BE PRESENTED TO PARLIAMENT ON WEDNESDAY AFTER HEARING MORE THAN SIX YEARS OF EVIDENCE. BUT SOME BELIEVE ABUSE IS CONTINUING AS RYAN BOSWELL REPORTS. NOBODY LISTENED TO ME. NOBODY HEARD WHAT I WAS SAYING. GWYNETH BEARD'S REFUSING TO STAY SILENT. IF I HAD THE ABILITY TO HAVE SOMEONE LIKE ME IN MY LIFE TO WORK WITH ME AND MY WHANAU I WOULDN'T HAVE HAD TO GO THROUGH THE SYSTEM BECAUSE THE SYSTEM WASN'T GOOD. IS IT ANY BETTER? NO, IT'S WORSE. PLACED INTO STATE CARE AT 11 YEARS OLD, SHE'S A SURVIVOR OF ABUSE. DON'T JUST GO IN THERE AND UPLIFT THE CHILD ` FROM THE FRYING PAN INTO THE FIRE. AND THAT IS WHAT'S HAPPENING MORE TIMES THAN ANYTHING. NOW SHE VOLUNTEERS AT A HUB IN THE HEART OF CHRISTCHURCH'S ARANUI TO HELP OTHERS NAVIGATE THE SYSTEM. TU PONO'S IT FOR ME, BECAUSE I KNOW PREVIOUSLY WHEN I'VE GONE THROUGH MY OWN STUFF WITH ORANGA TAMARIKI, UM, I HAD NO SUPPORTS. THIS WEEK, THE GOVERNMENT WILL RELEASE THE FINAL REPORT FROM THE ROYAL COMMISSION OF INQUIRY INTO ABUSE IN STATE- AND FAITH- BASED CARE. LET'S FACE IT ` WE KNOW THE FINAL REPORT'S, YOU KNOW, NEARLY 2500 PAGES, AND WE KNOW IT'S MULTIPLE VOLUMES. I THINK IT'S GONNA BE UNAVOIDABLE, UH, FOR THE GOVERNMENT TO AVOID ANY LONGER THE SCALE AND NATURE AND SERIOUSNESS OF ABUSE. SONJA COOPER HAS BEEN WORKING IN THIS SPACE FOR 30 YEARS. OUR CLIENT GROUP CONTINUES TO GROW. I MEAN, THIS YEAR, WE'VE HAD MORE THAN A NEW FILE OPENED EVERY SINGLE DAY. THE MINISTER IN CHARGE OF THE GOVERNMENT'S RESPONSE TO THE ABUSE INQUIRY IS ERICA STANFORD. HER OFFICE SAYS WEDNESDAY WILL BE A SIGNIFICANT DAY FOR NEW ZEALAND, AND ONE ALL ABOUT SURVIVORS, ADDING 'THEY WILL BE HEARD'. AND ONE ALL ABOUT SURVIVORS, ADDING, 'THEY WILL BE HEARD.' WITH ORGANISATIONS LIKE US ON THE GROUND, COMMUNITY ORGANISATIONS THAT WORK FOR WHANAU, WE WILL BE ABLE TO CHANGE WHAT'S HAPPENING OUT THERE. GWYNETH WANTING HER STORY TO INSPIRE CHANGE.

OTAGO UNIVERSITY HAS SET A TARGET OF 1200 STAFF COMPLETING A CULTURAL COMPETENCY PROGRAMME BY THE END OF NEXT YEAR. AND THE UNIVERSITY OF CANTERBURY OFFERS FREE MAORI LANGUAGE WORKSHOPS FOR ITS EMPLOYEES. I'M HOPING, EVENTUALLY, IT'LL GET TO THE POINT WHERE WE WON'T NEED THESE SPACES, BECAUSE TE REO IS NORMAL.

WOULD IT BE AN OPEN WITHOUT WET WEATHER GEAR MAKING AN APPEARANCE? RAIN'S COMING DOWN. IT'S NOT GETTING ANY WARMER. BROLLIES ARE UP, HANDS ARE COLD. THE TESTING LINKS COURSE MADE EVEN MORE CHALLENGING, BUT BILLY HORSCHEL DIDN'T LET THE RAIN RAIN ON HIS PARADE. THIS IS LOVELY. WELL WORKED-UP, WELL EXECUTED. I THINK I JUST DO A REALLY GOOD JOB OF ` I CALL IT LIKE 'BUNT GOLF', YOU KNOW, YOU JUST BUNT IT DOWN THE FAIRWAY, KEEP IT IN PLAY, KEEP IT IN FRONT OF YOU. YOU'RE NOT MAKING FULL SWINGS LIKE YOU WOULD IN PERFECT CONDITIONS. A TIDY TWO-UNDER PAR 69 THIRD ROUND TAKING HIM TO FOUR-UNDER OVERALL WITH A ONE-SHOT LEAD. HORSCHEL HAS SIX PLAYERS BREATHING DOWN HIS NECK, ALL TIED FOR SECOND, AMONG THEM JUSTIN ROSE, ZANDER SCHAUFFELE AND RUSSELL HENLEY. WHAT WILL BE KEY IS WHO CAN KEEP THEIR COOL UNDER PRESSURE. SUCH A BAD MISS. HE'S LOSING HIS CALM. BEFORE THE RAIN THINGS WERE A LITTLE MORE CALM ` IN FACT, JOYOUS. WONDERFUL SHOT, AND SI WILL KEEP GETTING BETTER AND BETTER AND BETTER ` NO YOU CAN'T! NOT AT 17! SI WOO KIM HEADING THE LONGEST ACE IN THE TOURNAMENT'S HISTORY AND FIRST ON THE PAR-THREE 17TH. KIWI DANIEL HILLIER TOO IMPRESSING. HILLIER FOR HIS BIRDIE. OH, BEAUTIFULLY HOLED. FOUR BIRDIES SEEING HIM SURGE UP THE LEADERBOARD IN A LOGJAM OF NINE OTHERS, TIED FOR 15TH. A BIG DAY LOOMS AT ROYAL TROON WITH PLENTY OF UNKNOWNS. CAN THE MAN FROM FLORIDA WIN HIS FIRST MAJOR IN HIS 43RD ATTEMPT? I'VE ACTUALLY SEEN MYSELF WINNING THE TOURNAMENT, YOU KNOW, VISUALISING MYSELF AT NIGHT BEFORE I GO TO SLEEP ` HOLDING A TROPHY, YOU KNOW, HAVING A SMILE, JUST TRYING TO SORT OF MANIFEST IT A LITTLE BIT. TOMORROW WILL TELL WHETHER THAT MANIFESTING PAYS OFF. KATE WELLS, 1 NEWS. OLYMPIC BASKETBALL GOLD MEDAL FAVOURITES TEAM USA HAVE AVOIDED A SHOCK DEFEAT TO SOUTH SUDAN IN A WARM-UP MATCH IN LONDON. DOWN 14 POINTS AT HALF-TIME, THE U.S. TEAM OF SUPERSTARS RALLIED BACK, LEBRON JAMES PUTTING THE GAME TO REST WITH EIGHT SECONDS TO GO. LEBRON GRINDS FOR THE WIN. HE PUTS IT IN! SOUTH SUDAN HAD ONE FINAL POSSESSION BUT COULDN'T MAKE IT COUNT, TEAM USA WINNING 101-100. STAYING WITH AMERICA, AND RUGBY UNION IS ONE OF THE FASTEST-GROWING COLLEGE SPORTS IN THE STATES, WHICH HAS LED A COUPLE OF HARVARD SCHOLARS ALL THE WAY TO CHRISTCHURCH TO JOIN THE CRUSADERS INTERNATIONAL ACADEMY ON A 16-WEEK PROGRAMME, AIMING TO UPSKILL BOTH ON AND OFF THE FIELD. JORDAN OPPERT HAS THE STORY. THESE TWO MEN KNOW WHAT HARD WORK LOOKS LIKE. AFTER ALL, THEY'RE HARVARD UNIVERSITY SCHOLARS. OHH! OH MY GOD! (ALL SHOUT ECSTATICALLY) TINAYE NGORIMA'S ACCEPTANCE GOING VIRAL ONLINE... HARVARD?! ...VIEWED MORE THAN 30 MILLION TIMES. DOES IT EVER GET OLD SAYING YOU'RE FROM HARVARD? NO. (LAUGHS) NOT REALLY. I THINK IT'S ALWAYS SUPER SPECIAL. AND IT MEANS THEY'RE AFFORDED OPPORTUNITIES VERY FEW GET, LIKE COMING TO CHRISTCHURCH TO JOIN THE CRUSADERS INTERNATIONAL ACADEMY FOR A TWO-MONTH, FULLY IMMERSIVE COURSE WITH ACCESS TO BIG-NAME PLAYERS AND COACHES. IT'S BEEN A STEEP LEARNING CURVE. JUST THE SPEED OF THE RUCKS IS KIND OF UNMATCHED IN COMPARISON AND JUST THE SKILL LEVEL ACROSS THE BOARD. SO WHETHER IT'S A ONE OR A 15, EVERYBODY HAS SPEED, SPEED WITH THEIR HANDS, ABILITY TO PASS, CATCH, WHATEVER. THE PROGRAMME'S EVOLVED MASSIVELY SINCE ROBBIE DEANS KICKED IT OFF IN 2008. NOWADAYS, THERE'S A BIG EMPHASIS ON RUGBY THEORY. AND THAT REVOLVES AROUND MENTAL SKILLS, NUTRITION, PLAYER DEVELOPMENT, CULTURE AND LEADERSHIP, AND THEN WE ALSO DO A RUGBY IQ. IF WE DON'T GET THAT OFF-FIELD RIGHT, THEY'RE NOT GONNA GET THE ON-FIELD RIGHT. SO I THINK THAT'S THE BIGGEST CHALLENGE AND THE BIGGEST EYE-OPENER THAT THESE YOUNG BOYS HAVE HAD. THEY ALSO PUT A REALLY BIG EMPHASIS ON STANDARDS; NOT ONLY STANDARDS LIKE, ON THE FIELD, BUT OFF THE FIELD AS WELL IN THE SPACES THAT WE'RE CARRYING WITH THE PEOPLE THAT WE INTERACT WITH. IT COMES AS HARVARD LOOKS TO BOOST ITS OWN RUGBY PROGRAMME. WE HAVE GOALS OF NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP IN THE FUTURE, AND I'M DEFINITELY ALIGNED WITH THAT. AND BEING ABLE TO EXPERIENCE A CULTURE LIKE THIS THAT'S KIND OF EMBRACED RUGBY AT THE FOREFRONT OF IT IS REALLY GREAT TO BE ABLE TO SEE WHAT IT COULD BE POTENTIALLY IN THE FUTURE. THE CRUSADERS HELPING GROW THE GAME AT ONE OF THE WORLD'S MOST PRESTIGIOUS INSTITUTIONS. JORDAN OPPERT, 1 NEWS. IT'S BEEN A BIT OF AN INSIDE WEEKEND FOR MUCH OF THE COUNTRY BUT THEY SAY RUNNERS ARE A DIFFERENT BREED AND 800 OF THEM EMBRACED THE FOG AND FREEZING TEMPERATURES FOR THE MACKENZIE HALF-MARATHON.

EVEN ON A BAD DAY, IT'S STILL PRETTY GOOD. 800 RUNNERS UNLEASHED ON THE FAIRLIE BASIN FOR A ONE OF A KIND HALF-MARATHON. THE DISTRICT'S SCOTTISH HISTORY FRONT AND CENTRE AT THE FUNDRAISER FOR THE LOCAL LIONS CLUB AND DRAWS IN THE SERIOUS AND THE NOT-SO-SERIOUS. GOOD TO SEE A LOT OF PEOPLE WEARING THE KILTS AND THE GREAT VIEW YOU GOT TODAY, ESPECIALLY WITH THE FOG AND THE BASIN. THE WIDE APPEAL EASY TO SEE ONCE THE MORNING FOG CLEARED, THE ROUTE TAKING RUNNERS THROUGH FARMLAND AND RIVER TRAILS, SOME OF WHICH ARE ONLY ACCESSIBLE ONE DAY A YEAR FOR THE EVENT. A BIT OF ELEVATION GAIN TOO ` THE VIEW AT THE TOP NOT THE ONLY REWARD. JUST A WEE DRAM, JUST TO HELP EVERYBODY OUT ON THE RUN, KEEP THEM WARM. SCOTTISH ACCENT: BLOODY MARVELLOUS. WHISKY'S NOT BAD.
