IT'S WEDNESDAY THE 17TH OF JUNE. MORENA, THIS IS BREAKFAST. IS THE BOXING DAY FROM THE ALL-WHITE'S FIRST APPEARANCE AT THE WORLD CUP. A REPORT OUT THIS MORNING REVEALS THE SERIOUS FLOOD RISK THAT THREATENS 1000 HOMES IN SOUTH DUNEDIN. AN INNER-CITY COMMUNITY'S SADNESS AT THE LOSS OF POST SHOP THAT'S MUCH MORE THAN A SERVICE. JUST BRILLIANT, WHAT A WAY TO KICK OFF YOUR FIRST WORLD CUP. WE TALK TO TWO OF THE PEOPLE THAT HAVE HELPED ELI JUST REACH THE SUMMIT OF WORLD FOOTBALL. RIGHT NOW IT'S 6.30. HERE'S YOUR NEWS. THANKS, CHRIS. IRAN'S FOREIGN MINISTER SAYS A NEW ROUND OF TALKS WITH THE U.S. WILL LIKELY TAKE PLACE ON FRIDAY. THE COMMENTS COME AFTER THE G7 SUMMIT, WHERE A TENTATIVE AGREEMENT BETWEEN U.S. AND IRAN WAS A MAIN DISCUSSION POINT. THE NEXT PHASE OF TALKS IS SET TO COVER IRAN'S NUCLEAR PROGRAMME AND THE LIFTING OF SANCTIONS. THE UK'S MINISTRY OF DEFENCE IS INVESTIGATING AFTER REPORTS A RUSSIAN WARSHIP FIRED WARNING SHOTS AT A YACHT IN THE ENGLISH CHANNEL. THERE ARE NO REPORTED INJURIES OR DAMAGE TO THE YACHT. IT COMES AFTER ARMED BRITISH FORCES BOARDED AND DETAINED A SANCTIONED TANKER SUSPECTED OF BEING PART OF RUSSIA'S 'SHADOW FLEET' EARLIER THIS WEEK. THE TWO INCIDENTS ARE NOT BELIEVED TO BE LINKED. ALMOST $200m WORTH OF METH HAS BEEN SEIZED IN SYDNEY DESPITE A CREATIVE ATTEMPT TO HIDE IT. THE DRUGS WERE PAINTED ONTO THE WALLS OF A SHIPPING CONTAINER ARRIVING FROM MEXICO, WITH BORDER CONTROL DOGS EVENTUALLY SNIFFING OUT THE METH-COATED CARGO. POLICE LATER RAIDED A PROPERTY, ARRESTING TWO MEN ACCUSED OF BEING BEHIND THE UNUSUAL PAINT-BY-NUMBERS SMUGGLING OPERATION. FONTERRA HAS SIGNED A LONG-TERM DEAL WITH NZ CLEAN ENERGY TO BUY POWER FROM A NEW SOLAR AND STORAGE PROJECT IN CANTERBURY. CHARLOTTE MULDER JOINS US NOW WHAT DOES THIS PROJECT MEAN FOR THE COMMUNITY? THE 129 MW DARK-FIELD SOLAR PROJECT MEANS IT IS GOING TO GENERATE MORE RENEWABLE ENERGY FOR THE COMMUNITY. IT IS GOING TO POWER FONTERRA'S OPERATIONS, CUT EMISSIONS, AND DESIGN A STABLE ENERGY COST. IT IS ALSO GOING TO GENERATE OVER 100 JOBS DURING THE CONSTRUCTION. THAT START DATE IS NOT YET CONFIRMED, BUT WE DO KNOW IS THE PROJECT IS ALREADY BEING DESCRIBED AS THE IDEALISTIC MODEL FOR ALL FUTURE RENEWABLE ENERGY PROJECTS. THE GOVERNMENT IS REVIEWING HOW FIRE AND EMERGENCY IS FUNDED, WITH QUESTIONS RAISED ABOUT WHETHER THE CURRENT INSURANCE LEVY SYSTEM IS STILL FIT-FOR-PURPOSE. THE SERVICES' CURRENT MODEL HASN'T CHANGED SINCE 1975 AND COLLECTS 95% OF ITS INCOME FROM INSURANCE LEVIES. THE GOVERNMENT SAYS IT'S ROLE HAS EXPANDED BEYOND FIRES TO INCLUDE MEDICAL EMERGENCIES, SEVERE WEATHER AND MARITIME INCIDENTS. ALTERNATIVE FUNDING OPTIONS WILL NOW BE CONSIDERED, BUT ANY CHANGES WON'T AFFECT EXISTING LEVY RATES FOR THE NEXT THREE YEARS. A FUNDING BOOST HAS BEEN ANNOUNCED FOR AGED RESIDENTIAL CARE SERVICES. HEALTH NEW ZEALAND WILL ALLOCATE AN ADDITIONAL $79m TO THE SECTOR FOR 2026 AND 2027. HEALTH MINISTER SIMEON BROWN SAYS THE FUNDING UPLIFT AIMS TO HELP OLDER PEOPLE MOVE INTO APPROPRIATE CARE FASTER, INCLUDING OVER WEEKENDS. THE WHITE FERNS' T20 WORLD CUP DEFENCE IS ON SHAKY GROUND AFTER LOSING TO SRI LANKA BY FIVE WICKETS. NEW ZEALAND'S WOBBLES IN THE FIELD PERSISTING, NILAKSHI DA SILVA DROPPED ON 1 AND GOING ON TO MAKE AN UNBEATEN HALF CENTURY. TOP EDGE, SOMEONE HAS GOT TO GET THERE, SURELY. NO, NO, NO. NO. I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS, I AM SORRY. SRI LANKA REACHING THEIR TARGET OF 151 WITH TWO BALLS TO SPARE, THEIR MAIDEN T20 WORLD CUP WIN OVER NEW ZEALAND. THE WHITE FERNS NOW WITH TWO LOSSES FROM FIRST THEIR TWO GAMES AND NO MARGIN FOR ERROR FOR THE REMAINING GROUP MATCHES. AND FINALLY ` TWO 1700-YEAR-OLD MARBLE STATUES IN MINT CONDITION HAVE BEEN UNEARTHED IN ISRAEL. THE TWO ROMAN-ERA BUST STATUES WERE FOUND IN AN EXCAVATION SITE IN WHAT IS BEING CALLED 'THE DISCOVERY OF A LIFETIME'. ONE IS BELIEVED TO BE LYCURGUS, THE LEGENDARY FOUNDER OF SPARTA. THE OTHER IS YET TO BE IDENTIFIED. LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT THE MARKETS. (FUNKY MUSIC) I AM VERY EXCITED. LATER ON THE SHOW AT 755 A FEE FOR AN ADJACENT STORY. IT GOT ME VERY EXCITED, BECAUSE THIS MAN IN THE UK HAS MADE IT HIS MISSION TO TRY TO COLLECT A BEER FROM EVERY SINGLE COUNTRY COMPETING AT THE WORLD CUP. THERE IS 48. I WAS LOOKING ONLINE FOR THEM FOR YOU YESTERDAY. THE OFFICIAL ONES AREN'T AS COOL. DON'T WORRY, I HAVE LOOKED. AMAZING. I DON'T KNOW IF HE IS GOING TO DRINK THIS WHEN THE TEAM PLAYS. THING ABOUT HOW HARD IT WOULD BE TO SOURCE SOME OF THE BEERS, PARTICULARLY SOME OF THE COUNTRIES WHERE ALCOHOL IS NOT MUCH OF A THING. HOW DOES HE DO IT? HOW DO YOU ORDER THEM? DO YOU RANK THEM LIKE THE WORLD CUP RANKINGS? I WOULD. WHAT IS THE BEER HE GOT FROM NEW ZEALAND? ACTUALLY, I WOULD RANK THEM BASED ON THE RANKINGS, AND THEN I WOULD BE RANK THEM ALPHABETICALLY, AND THAT I WOULD REWRITE REVERSE ALPHABETICALLY. I WOULD PROBABLY JUST DRINK THEM. THEY JUST COLLECT IN THE RECYCLE BEEN IN THE END. DO YOU COLLECT ANYTHING? WHEN I WAS YOUNGER I HAD A PIG COLLECTION, AND THEN PEOPLE JUST START GIVING YOU PIGS. JUST LITTLE TOYS, AND THEN RUBBER DUCKY'S. TROLL TOYS WITH THE SPIKY HAIR. I HAD A HUGE TROLL COLLECTION. RUBBER DUCKY'S IN MY LATE TEENS. AND THEN YOU DON'T WANT THEM. I SEEMED TO INADVERTENTLY STARTED COLLECTING FOOTBALL JERSEYS. HOW MANY DO YOU HAVE? QUITE A LOT. IT COUNTS AS A COLLECTION. MAYBE IT'S JUST GOTTEN OUT OF HAND, YOU COLLECT ANYTHING? AND THEN PEOPLE CAUGHT ON TO AND THEY'RE GIVING YOU THOSE THINGS? I WOULD LOVE TO SEE IF YOU COULD MATCH THE GENTLEMEN WE ARE TALKING TO WITH HIS BEER COLLECTION. EMAIL US AT breakfast@tvnz.co.nz OR YOU CAN GET IN TOUCH WITH US ON FACEBOOK AND INSTAGRAM @breakfaston1. AND NOW TO THE WEATHER. A FAIRLY GREY DAY FOR MOST OF THE NORTH. CLOUDY WITH THE CHANCE OF A SHOWER IN KAITAIA AND AUCKLAND. MORNING FOG IN HAMILTON. MAINLY FINE IN THE BAY OF PLENTY. HEAVY AFTERNOON SHOWERS IN NEW PLYMOUTH AND PALMERSTON NORTH. SUNNY IN GISBORNE AND HAWKE'S BAY; OCCASIONAL RAIN IN THE CAPITAL. 13 IS THE HIGH IN ROTORUA; 16 IN LEVIN. IT'S A SIMILAR STORY DOWN SOUTH. CLOUDY WITH THE ODD MORNING SHOWER IN NELSON AND BLENHEIM. SOUTHERLY WINDS IN KAIKOURA. RAIN, POSSIBLY HEAVY IN HOKITIKA. CLOUDY PERIODS IN CHRISTCHURCH AND TIMARU. CHANCE OF A MORNING SHOWER IN QUEENSTOWN. FINE SPELLS INCREASING IN GORE AND INVERCARGILL. 9 IS THE HIGH IN ALEXANDRA; 15 IN WESTPORT. (UPBEAT MUSIC) FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 16 YEARS THE ALL WHITES HAVE TAKEN TO THE WORLD CUP STAGE, AND BOY DID THEY PUT ON A SHOW! WHILE THEY DIDN'T SNATCH THE WIN, THEY DID MANAGE TO DRAW 2-2 WITH IRAN WHO ARE CURRENTLY RANKED FAR HIGHER AT 20TH IN THE WORLD. PLAYING AT A PACKED LOS ANGELES STADIUM, THE ALL WHITES THEMSELVES CALLED IT AN 'NBELIEVABLE ATMOSPHERE', THEMSELVES CALLED IT AN 'UNBELIEVABLE ATMOSPHERE', WITH ELIJAH JUST (26) SECURING BOTH GOALS. THIS IS REALLY NICE AND NEW ZEALAND! VERY NICE! SUCH COMPOSURE AT HIS FIRST WORLD CUP. GOT HIS SECOND GOAL BY JUST HAVING THAT HEIGHT AS HE WAS SLIDING DOWN. OH, IT'S INCREDIBLY SPECIAL. THE FIRST ONE WAS AN UNBELIEVABLE FEELING, AND THEN, YEAH, THE SECOND ONE, JUST ALMOST COULDN'T BELIEVE IT. THEN STRAIGHT AWAY AFTER THE GOALS TO BE MET WITH ALL MY TEAMMATES, THEIR FACES, THEIR HAPPINESS, AND YEAH, JUST A FEELING I'LL REMEMBER THE REST OF MY LIFE. STILL REVELING IN THE WORLD CUP BUZZ IS WORLD CUP REPORTER ZION DAYAL. IT WAS QUITE THE GAME, WASN'T IT? JUST HEARING THAT COMMENTARY GIVES ME GOOSEBUMPS AGAIN. I WAS VERY FORTUNATE TO HAVE A VANTAGE POINT RIGHT IN FRONT OF ELIJAH JUST WHEN HE SCORED THAT GOAL. ME AND MY CAMERAMAN JUST JUMPED UP AND DOWN AND WERE CELEBRATING. IT WAS PHENOMENAL. A PHENOMENAL NIGHT, PHENOMENAL DAY, AND JUST A GREAT DAY FOR NEW ZEALAND FOOTBALL. IT IS A SPORTING SPECTACLE I CERTAINLY WON'T FORGET, AND I SUSPECT FOR MANY OF THE PLAYERS THEY WON'T FORGET EITHER. IT WAS AN INCREDIBLE NIGHT AT THE COULD HAVE ONE. THE PLAYERS DO FEEL LIKE THAT WAS A GAME THAT GOT AWAY, BUT NONETHELESS, THAT IS ONE POINT AT A WORLD CUP AND IT COULD BE A VERY, VERY VALUABLE ONE POINT. WHAT WAS THE OVERARCHING FEELING AMONG THE PLAYERS WHEN HE SPOKE TO THEM STRAIGHT AFTER THE GAME? WHERE THEY OBVIOUSLY PROUD OF THEIR PERFORMANCE OR FEEL LIKE THEY SHOULD'VE WON THAT GAME? TO GO HONEST WITH YOU, THEY CAME ABOUT HALF AN HOUR AFTER THE FINAL WHISTLE TO TALK TO US, AND THEY WERE STILL REVELING IN THE MOMENT AS TO WHAT HAPPENED OUT THERE. THE CROWD WAS SO LOUD. 70,000 PEOPLE. THEY WERE SO TAKEN ABACK ABOUT THE SPECTACLE. WHEN IT DID COME TO THE FOOTBALL, IT DID FEEL LIKE A GAME THAT GOT AWAY FROM THEM, GAME THEY COULD'VE ONE. THEY WERE TARGETING THE GAME AGAINST IRAN TO WIN BECAUSE IT DOESN'T GET ANY EASIER AGAINST EGYPT OR BELGIUM. NONETHELESS, THEY WANTED TO GET SOMETHING OUT OF IT, AND THE POINT, LIKE I SAID BEFORE, GIVEN THAT THE BEST THIRD PLACE TEAMS AND SOME OF THE GROUPS CAN MAKE IT THROUGH, IT COULD BE VERY VALUABLE. INNOCENTLY BETTER THAN COMING AWAY WITH NOTHING. WERE YOU SURPRISED AT HOW, I WOULDN'T SAY DOMINANT, BUT HOW MANY GREAT CHANCES THEY HAD THEIR AND HOW OPEN THE GAME WAS? BECAUSE THERE IS NO SECOND CHANCES, THERE IS JUST ATTACKING FOOTBALL, THE INTENT IS ALWAYS THERE TO ATTACK AND ATTACK IN A WIN AND SCORE, THAT IS THE THEME I HAVE SEEN THROUGHOUT WORLD CUP GAMES WILL POSE NO DIFFERENT YESTERDAY. I'VE BEEN SEEING A LOT OF REACTION ONLINE FROM NON-KIWIS JUST TO HOW INTENSE AND EXCITING THAT GAME WAS. I THINK EVERYONE IN THAT ARENA, EVERYONE BACK HOME, EVERYONE WATCHING, JUST FOOTBALL FANS THAT ARE WATCHING THE WORLD CUP WERE TREATED TO A REALLY, REALLY EXCITING, FAST, ENTERTAINING GAME OF FOOTBALL, AND I THINK FROM A NEW ZEALAND PERSPECTIVE, THE BEST THING TO SEE WAS GOALS. THEY STRUGGLED TO SCORE GOALS IN THE WARM UP, BUT WHEN IT MATTERED, THEY WERE ABLE TO PUT THEM AWAY FOR CHRIS WOOD USUALLY SCORES THE GOALS, BUT HE PUT IT ON A PLOTTER FOR ELIJAH JUST TWICE, AND THAT IS WHAT THE ALL-WHITE'S NEED TO KEEP DOING WHEN THEY HAD TO CANADA. I SAW A GOOD POCKET OF NEW ZEALAND FANS THERE, HAVE YOU MANAGED TO TRACK ANY DOWN? YES, YES, WE HAVE. I'M GOING TO BRING IN MY GOOD FRIEND TOM MCDOWELL. HE HAS HAD A VERY LATE NIGHT. IT IS JUST BEFORE MIDDAY LOCAL TIME. THANKS FOR YOUR TIME. THANKS FOR PUTTING ON A BRAVE FACE SO EARLY IN THE MONEY. WHAT A SPECIAL, SPECIAL NIGHT. I WAS UNBELIEVABLE. I AM STILL COMING DOWN. I'M STILL TRYING TO FIND THE WORDS TO DESCRIBE IT. GETTING TO CELEBRATE TWO GOALS WITH KIWIS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WORLD IN A WORLD CUP, UNBELIEVABLE. I SAW THE POCKET OF FANS AND YOU ARE UP AMONGST IT. WHAT WAS IT LIKE TO BE WITH OTHER KIWIS? WE WERE OUTNUMBERED BY IRANIAN SUPPORTERS, BUT THERE WAS A STRONG CONTINGENT. IT IS SPECIAL TO SPECIAL BEING AROUND KIWIS IN GENERAL IN ANY SPORTING EVENT, AND WE OBVIOUSLY HAVE A VERY UNIQUE CULTURE AND SEE THINGS QUITE DIFFERENT WAY TO THE REST OF THE WORLD. BUT CELEBRATING WITH I THINK ABOUT 3000 OR EVEN MORE THAN THAT KIWIS CONCENTRATED IN ONE PLACE, WE WERE ON OUR FEET THE WHOLE GAME, CHANCE, MAKING NOISE, DOESN'T MATTER WE ARE UNDERDOGS, DOESN'T MATTER WE ARE OUTNUMBERED, VERY SPECIAL. LEAVE OUT THE MINOR DETAILS, BUT YOU GUYS STARTED AT MIDDAY, DIDN'T FINISH UNTIL A COUPLE HOURS AGO? HOW IS THE PARTY AFTERWARDS? IT WAS A LONG ONE, BUT A GREAT PARTY. THEY GAVE US SOMETHING TO CELEBRATE, SO WE HAVE TO THINK THE ALL-WHITE FOR THAT POST TOPIC COULD'VE BEEN A MORE DIFFICULT LONG THAT IF WE HADN'T GOT A RESULT, BUT LIKE I SAID, SETTLE WRITING TWO GOALS AT A WORLD CUP, UNHEARD-OF, AND THE NIGHT TO FOLLOW, EVEN MORE CAMERADERIE WITH KIWIS. YOU CAN ACTUALLY GET HERE WITH A WORLD CUP BADGE ON IT. THAT LOOKS PRETTY COOL. THERE IS OBVIOUS GOOD CONTINGENT OF QE FANS WILL ARE YOU GUYS TRAVELING TO VANCOUVER FOR THE NEXT GAMES AND WHAT IS ON THE ITINERARY? ARE YOU GUYS GOING TO OTHER GAMES? MOST OF THE QE FANS HERE WITH THE FLYING KIWIS, PRIORITIZING THE NEW ZEALAND GAMES. I KNOW A FEW PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO SNEAK IN SOME OTHER ONES, ME PERSONALLY HAVE A FEW ON THE RADAR, BUT THE NUMBER ONE PRIORITY IS THE ALL-WHITE'S AND BACKING THEM. THEY ARE GOING TO BE THERE SUPPORTING THE BOYS IN VANCOUVER. I KNOW A LARGE CONTINGENT ARE ALREADY MAKING THEIR WAY THERE NOW, BUT THERE IS GOING TO BE NOISE AND KIWIS EVERY BATCH IN THIS WORLD CUP. USUALLY WITH CLUB FOOTBALL IT IS QUITE TRIBAL AND VERY SERIOUS, BUT WITH INTERNATIONAL FOOTBALL CAN BE MORE FRIENDLY, RIGHT? WHEN PEOPLE SEE YOU WEARING A NEW ZEALAND SHORT, DO THEY ASK ABOUT TIM PAYNE AND WHAT HAS THE REACTION BEEN LIKE? I THINK YOU KNOW THE ANSWER TO THE FIRST QUESTION. TIM PAYNE IS ON EVERYBODY'S LIPS, IT IS ALL ANYBODY CAN TALK ABOUT, AND IT IS AMAZING. LAST NIGHT I HAD A GUY IN THE BAR WEARING A MEXICO JERSEY WITH TIM PAYNE TAPED ON HIS BACK AND HE WAS TRYING TO DO A JERSEY SWAP WITH ME. UNFORTUNATELY, I COULDN'T FIT HIS KIT, BUT IT IS EVERYWHERE. THE ATMOSPHERE IS AMAZING. KIWIS HAVE A SPECIAL REPUTATION AROUND THE WORLD, AND IT IS NO DIFFERENT HERE. FOOTBALL IS A WORLD GAME. THERE IS NOTHING BETTER TO BRING HUMANS TOGETHER, AND THE REPUTATION WE CARRY AS KIWIS ON SOME OF THE INTERACTIONS WE HAVE ARE VERY SPECIAL AND IT IS A LOT OF FUN. IS KIND OF A TRADITION WITH SWAPPING? I RECKON YOU COULD TRY TO SWAP A FOOTBALL JERSEY AND SEE HOW MANY COUNTRIES YOU COULD WEAR ON THE BREAKFAST SHOW. I UNDERSTAND YOU DON'T WANT TO PART WITH THE NEW ZEALAND ONE, BUT IF YOU HAVE ANOTHER ONE, TRY TO SWAP JERSEYS ALONG THE WAY. I MIGHT SEE IF I CAN SWITCH MY NEW ZEALAND ONE AND BY ONE OF THESE BECAUSE THESE ARE SPECTACULAR. BY TIJUANA ON THE BORDER OF MEXICO, IT WAS LIKE WE WERE IN MEXICO, AND IDENTIFYING A MEXICO SHIRT, I COULD NOT HELP MYSELF. I HAVE 47 MORE COUNTRIES TO GO. THEY ALL LOOK SPECTACULAR. LOVELY TO SEE YOU BOTH. THANK YOU FOR BACKING UP A GOOD NIGHT. ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT. ISN'T IT AMAZING THAT THE BIGGEST IRANIAN POPULATION OUTSIDE OF IRAN IS IN L.A., AND THEY JUST PACK DOUBTFUL THAT WAS ONE OF THE FUN FACTS I ENJOYED THE OTHER ONE I ENJOYED WAS THAT WE ARE RANKED 85TH AND THEY ARE RANKED 20TH. YOU GUYS KEEP TALKING ABOUT IT LIKE IT IS A DRAW, THAT IS A WIN IN MY BOOK. YOU GUYS ARE TALKING ABOUT IT LIKE IT IS A LOSS. THEY COULD'VE ONE, THEY COULD'VE LOST, THEY DID NOT LOSE. GOOD TO SEE THAT THE FANS ARE STILL GOING STRONG. PACE YOURSELF, BOYS AND GIRLS.

I DON'T MIND FIGHTING FOR THE YOUNG GUY, SMALL GUY, AND SO IF YOU IMAGINE A POLITICIAN WERE TO SPEND 30 YEARS OF HIS LIFE GIVING AWAY AND WORKING FOR THE COUNTRY, HOW MUCH ATTENTION HE WOULD GET, AND WHAT WE GET AT THE END OF THE DAY? IT IS VERY, VERY DISAPPOINTING, BUT WE WILL MOVE ON. I KNOW FOR SOME PEOPLE THEY WILL BE VERY UPSET AND SORRY. 30 YEARS OF SERVICE. YOU ARE KNOWN AS MR LAMBS ON K RD. IT IS ONE OF THE MOST INCREDIBLE COMMUNITIES AS WELL THAT YOU SERVICE THERE. YOU MUST'VE SEEN SOME THINGS. HELLO? CAN YOU HEAR US THERE, SURESH?

ISRAEL'S FIGHTING HEZBOLLAH TOO LONG AND TOO MANY PEOPLE ARE BEING KILLED. AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO KNOCK DOWN AN APARTMENT HOUSE EVERY TIME YOU'RE LOOKING FOR SOMEBODY. BECAUSE THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE IN THOSE APARTMENT HOUSES, AND THEY'RE NOT ALL HEZBOLLAH, THAT I CAN TELL YOU. AND I SUGGEST THAT TO ISRAEL TO LET SYRIA TAKE CARE OF HEZBOLLAH, BECAUSE TO BE HONEST WITH YOU, I THINK THEY'D DO A BETTER JOB OF DOING IT. SPEAKING ON THE SIDELINES OF THE G7 SUMMIT IN FRANCE, TRUMP ADDING THAT IF ISRAEL CANNOT CARRY OUT THE OPERATIONS 'WITHOUT KILLING EVERYONE ELSE' THEN SYRIA'S PRESIDENT 'WILL DO THE JOB.' THE FBI SAYS IT STOPPED A POTENTIAL THREAT AHEAD OF THE UFC AMERICA 250 EVENT AT THE WHITE HOUSE ON MONDAY.

UM, AND WE TOOK THEM ALL THE WAY. WE HAD THE CHANCE, MAYBE JUST AT THE END. STILL WOODSIES HEADER. I THINK IT WAS REALLY DIFFICULT FOR HIM, TO BE HONEST. BUT, YOU KNOW, JUST KIND OF SHOWED WE'RE IN THE ASCENDANCY LATE ON IN THE GAME. GROUP G FINELY POISED AFTER EGYPT AND BELGIUM ALSO DREW. THE ALL WHITES TAKE ON EGYPT NEXT IN CANADA. LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT THE MARKETS. (GROOVY MUSIC) AND NOW TO THE WEATHER. A FAIRLY GREY DAY FOR MOST OF THE NORTH. CLOUDY WITH THE CHANCE OF A SHOWER IN KAITAIA AND AUCKLAND. MORNING FOG IN HAMILTON. MAINLY FINE IN THE BAY OF PLENTY. HEAVY AFTERNOON SHOWERS IN NEW PLYMOUTH AND PALMERSTON NORTH. SUNNY IN GISBORNE AND HAWKE'S BAY; OCCASIONAL RAIN IN THE CAPITAL. 13 IS THE HIGH IN ROTORUA; 16 IN LEVIN. IT'S A SIMILAR STORY DOWN SOUTH. CLOUDY WITH THE ODD MORNING SHOWER IN NELSON AND BLENHEIM. SOUTHERLY WINDS IN KAIKOURA. RAIN, POSSIBLY HEAVY IN HOKITIKA. CLOUDY PERIODS IN CHRISTCHURCH AND TIMARU. CHANCE OF A MORNING SHOWER IN QUEENSTOWN. FINE SPELLS INCREASING IN GORE AND INVERCARGILL. 9 IS THE HIGH IN ALEXANDRA; 15 IN WESTPORT. THE ALL WHITES HAVE MADE AN IMPRESSIVE START TO THEIR WORLD CUP CAMPAIGN, EARNING A THRILLING 2-2 DRAW WITH IRAN IN LOS ANGELES. THE STANDOUT PERFORMER WAS ELIJAH JUST, WHO SCORED BOTH GOALS IN A MEMORABLE PERFORMANCE ON FOOTBALL'S BIGGEST STAGE. SHORTLY WE'LL BE JOINED BY A TEAMMATE OF HIS CLUB IN SCOTLAND. BUT FIRST FORMER ALL WHITE AND ONE OF HIS MENTORS, DECLAN EDGE. MORENA. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING WITH US. FIRST OF ALL, WHAT DID YOU MAKE OF THAT PERFORMANCE, NOT ONLY FROM ELY, BUT A NUMBER OF YOUR OLD PLAYERS TOO? THE NUTTALL OLD PLAYERS, THEY ARE ALL STILL QUITE YOUNG. BUT IT WAS GREAT, FOR SURE. A COUPLE OF GOALS FOR ELI, HOW PROUD ARE YOU WATCHING HIM PERFORMING AT SUCH A HIGH LEVEL? IT IS A SUPER INTERESTING QUESTION. I HAVE BEEN WATCHING HIM DO THAT, WHAT YOU SAW YESTERDAY, FOR THE LAST 10 YEARS. IT WAS AMAZING TO SEE HIM GO AND EXECUTE THAT ON THE WORLD STAGE, BUT HE HAS BEEN DOING IT FOR A VERY, VERY LONG TIME. WHAT ABOUT SOME OF THE OTHER LADS THAT WERE IN THERE AS WELL? STAMENIC CALLUM MCCOWATT, ALL HAVE GONE THROUGH THE ACADEMY IN WELLINGTON. PLAYERS THAT HAVE GROWN UP TOGETHER, HAVEN'T THEY? YEP. THEY ARE ALL BEST MATES. OVER A LONG PERIOD OF TIME, THEY HAVE COME THROUGH THE SYSTEM THAT WE PUT IN PLACE AND NEW ZEALAND FOOTBALL IS OBVIOUSLY GETTING THE REWARDS FOR THEIR WORK. YOU SAID THAT HE HAS BEEN DOING THIS FOR YEARS. I TAKE IT YOU WEREN'T THAT SURPRISED THEN BY THE LEVEL OF PERFORMANCE THAT NOT JUST HERE BUT THE OTHERS WERE PUTTING OUT THERE? KNOW, IT IS LIKE, I WRAP MY OWN CHRISTMAS PRESENT UP. I KNEW WHAT WAS INSIDE IT, SO I WASN'T SURPRISED, BUT I WAS OVERJOYED FOR THEM. I WASN'T SURPRISED AT WHAT I SAW AGAIN YESTERDAY FROM MY BOYS. JUST HOW GOOD CAN THESE PLAYERS GET? A NUMBER OF THEM ARE PLAYING AT A HIGH LEVEL IN SCOTLAND, IN THE CHAMPIONSHIP, CAN THEY GO ONTO EVEN BIGGER AND BETTER THINGS IN YOUR VIEW? YES, FOR SURE. I WORK WITH NEW ZEALAND PLAYS FOR A LONG TIME, BUT THE WORK I DID WAS ALWAYS DESIGNED AROUND A NEW ZEALAND PLAYER HITTING THEIR PEAK AT 27, 28, 29. WERE NOT FROM SOUTH AMERICA, WE ARE DIFFERENT. SO IT IS MANAGING THE WORKLOAD, MANAGING THE WORK THEY DID, AND MAKING SURE THEY STAY PATIENT. THE NEW ZEALAND PLAY WILL BE HITTING HIS PEAK AT 27, 28, 29, AND I THINK THAT IF YOU LOOK AT THE AGE OF MOST OF THOSE GUYS, THEY HAVE A GOOD THREE, FOUR, FIVE YEARS LEFT. FOR THE CASUAL FOOTBALL FAN HERE IN NEW ZEALAND, PEOPLE WHO HAVEN'T BEEN EXPOSED TO SOME OF THESE PLAYERS LIKE YOU HAVE, WHAT WOULD YOU SAY TO THEM IN TERMS OF HOW GOOD NEW ZEALAND CAN BE WHEN IT COMES TO PLAYING AT A WORLD CUP? AS GOOD AS ANYBODY. WE ARE ALL HUMAN BEINGS, WE HAVE ALL GOT THE SAME AMOUNT OF TIME TO DEVELOP. OBVIOUSLY, NEW ZEALAND IS DIFFERENT AND THAT IS TO BE TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION OF WHERE WE ARE AND ALL THE DIFFICULTIES INVOLVED IN THAT. BUT WE ARE JUST THE SAME AS EVERYBODY ELSE, AND WHAT NEW ZEALAND IS DOING AT THE MOMENT IS SLOWLY FINDING ITS IDENTITY IN THIS GLOBAL GAME WITH ALL THE DIFFERENT FLAVOURS AND ALL THE DIFFERENT MIXES, WE ARE SLOWLY FIGURING OUT WHAT IT IS LIKE. WE ARE OKAY HERE, WE ARE SAFE IN THIS PLACE. I THINK THAT NEW ZEALAND IS A KEEP MAKING SURE THAT THAT IS APPLIED AND APPLIED AND APPLIED. SO YOU SHOULD HOPEFULLY SEE AN EMERGENCE AND WORLD-CLASS PLAYERS COMING OUT OF NEW ZEALAND. IN FACT, THERE WAS ANOTHER PLAY THAT DEFINITELY WOULD HAVE STARTED THAT ALSO IS FROM THAT SAME GROUP OF PLAYERS WHO WAS CLEARLY RULED OUT OF THE TORMENT JUST BEFORE THE GAME, MATT GARBETT. HOW GUTTED WE USE TO HIM AND HIS FAMILY KNOWING THAT HE IS HAVING TO LEAVE THE TEAM AND HIS BEST MATES ARE WITHOUT HIM? AFTER THE GAME YESTERDAY, THAT WAS ONE OF THE VERY FIRST PLACE I GOT IN CONTACT WITH AND MAKE SURE HE WAS OK, AND JUST HAD SOME CONVERSATIONS WITH HIM AROUND, IT IS FOOTBALL, THAT IS HOW IT WORKS. GET BACK TO WORK, KEEP GOING, YOU WILL BE FINE. DECLAN EDGE, FORMER COACH OF SOME OF THESE PLAYERS AND STILL VERY CLEARLY A MENTAL TO THEM STILL. THANK YOU FOR JOINING US. ELI'S CAPTAIN AT MOTHERWELL IN SCOTLAND, STEPHEN O'DONNELL, JOINS US NOW. MORENA. THANK YOU FOR BEING WITH US, I TAKE IT YOU ARE IN SCOTLAND AND THE HOLIDAYS, OR HAVE YOU GONE SOMEWHERE BUT WARMER? I AM ACTUALLY JUST BACK FROM BOSTON. I WAS FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO GO TO SCOTLAND'S FIRST GAME AT THE GILLETTE STADIUM. IT WAS QUITE AN ATMOSPHERE, WAS AN INCREDIBLE OCCASION. I WILL ASK ABOUT THAT AT THE END BUT I DO WANT TO FOCUS ON ELI JUST AND A PERFORMANCE THAT HAS MADE THE WORLD SIT UP AND TAKE NOTICE. JUST HOW WELL HAS HE BEEN DOING JUST THE SEASON IN MOTHERWELL AND SCOTLAND? TO BE HONEST, WHEN I MET HIM THE FIRST TIME IN THE FIRST COUPLE OF TRAINING SESSIONS I WAS A LITTLE BIT WORRIED ABOUT HOW HE WOULD FIND THE SCOTTISH LEAGUE. HE IS QUITE SLIGHT IN STATURE, BUT AFTER ONE OR TWO GAMES WE REALISE HOW MUCH OF A TALENTED PLAYER HE REALLY WAS. PHYSICALLY, HE LOOKS SMALL, BUT IT DOES AFFECT THEM LIKE THAT AND WHAT IS A VERY PHYSICAL AND FAST LEAGUE. TECHNICALLY, HE IS A CUT ABOVE. HE SHOWS THAT ONE, TO COMBINATION SIMILAR TO CHRIS WOOD REGULARLY. I HAVE NO DOUBT, ESPECIALLY AFTER LAST NIGHT, I WAS PRETTY GUTTED, THAT WERE PROBABLY NOT GOING TO SEE HIM AT THE CLUB NEXT SEASON. WHERE DO YOU THINK HE WILL BE ABLE TO GO TO IN TERMS OF THOSE, I SAY WITH THE GREATEST RESPECT, THE BIGGER CLUBS IN SCOTLAND OR IN THE UK OR EUROPE? THE REALITY IS, UNLESS YOU ARE REAL MADRID, THERE ARE ALWAYS BIGGER FISH OUT THERE. I THINK SOMEWHERE LIKE SPAIN WOULD REALLY SUIT HIM. HE IS TECHNICALLY VERY GIFTED, PICKS UP SOME INCREDIBLE SPACES, I'M SURE IF HE HAD BETTER PASSES FROM BETTER PLAYERS, HE WOULD BE VERY WELL. YOU MENTION HE IS NOT THE BIGGEST LAD, HOW GOOD YOU HAVE TO BE IF YOU ARE NOT PHYSICALLY A REAL BEAST? IT SHOWS THE TALENT YOU HAVE. HE CHALLENGES FOR EVERY BALL AND AIR, BUT THE TALENT HE POSSESSES, HIS AWARENESS, AND ON TOP OF THAT, HE IS A REALLY NICE GUY, HE HAS MOVED TO NEAR THE STADIUM, HE WALKS TO TRAINING, HE'S A REALLY NICE BOY, DOWN-TO-EARTH, YOU MUST BE SUPER PROUD WHEN YOU SEE A TEAMMATE GOING AND PLAYING AT THE WORLD CUP IN DOING SO WELL LIKE THAT? OF COURSE, MORE SO AFTER HAVING BEEN AT THE GAME FOR SCOTLAND AND YOU SEE HOW BIG THE OCCASION IS, HOW THE WHOLE COUNTRY OF AMERICA HAS BOUGHT INTO IT. REALLY, REALLY EXCITING TO SEE HIM PERFORM. I'M SURE HE WILL SHOW IN THE BELGIUM AND EGYPT GAMES HOW MUCH TALENT HE HAS. WE HAVE IN WAITING 16 YEARS TO GET TO A WORLD CUP, YOU HAVE BEEN WAITING A LOT LONGER THAN US. HOW COOL IS IT TO SEE THE TARTAN ARMY REPRESENTED STATESIDE? IT IS AMAZING. LAST TIME WE WENT WHEN I WAS SIX. AND THIS YEAR I WAS ABLE TO GO WITH MY SON WHO IS SIX. STEPHEN O'DONNELL, IT HAS BEEN A REAL TREAT TO HAVE YOU JOIN US ON BREAKFAST. THANK YOU FOR JOINING US TODAY. THANK YOU FOR HAVING US. IMMIGRATION MINISTER ERICA STANFORD SAYS SHE'S FURIOUS THAT OFFICIALS THE PROJECT WAS MEANT TO MODERNISE IMMIGRATION NEW ZEALAND'S IDENTITY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM, BUT AN INDEPENDENT REVIEW FOUND IT HAD MAJOR FLAWS THAT LED TO $30m BEING WASTED. THE PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSIONER WILL INVESTIGATE THE MATTER. IMMIGRATION MINISTER IN THE PREVIOUS LABOUR GOVERNMENT, ANDREW LITTLE, SAYS HE TOO FELT MISLED BY OFFICIALS. I GOT TO THE POINT WHERE I WASN'T SATISFIED THAT I WAS BEING GIVEN ALL THE RELEVANT INFORMATION AND IN FACT, WAS AT THE POINT WHERE I THOUGHT I WAS BEING MISLED ABOUT THIS. THE TRUST WAS PRETTY LOW. ERICA STANFORD JOINS ME NOW. GOOD MORNING, MINISTER. HOW BAD IS THIS? IT LOOKS PRETTY DAMN BAD. GOOD MORNING. OF COURSE, I ONLY GOT THE REPORT ON FRIDAY SO I AM STILL DIGRESSING AT MYSELF, BUT IT MAKES SOME PRETTY EXTRA THERE ARE CLAIMS THAT ARE NOT GREAT FOR THE PUBLIC SERVICE. BUT I WANT TO MAKE CLEAR THOUGH, I HAVE A WONDERFUL TEAM AT IMMIGRATION AND AT EDUCATION. THERE ARE LOTS OF GREAT PEOPLE, AND IT IS UNFORTUNATE THAT THEY ARE NOW BEING TARRED WITH THIS BECAUSE THEY DO SOME AMAZING WORK AND WE HAVE DONE A HUGE AMOUNT OF POLICY WORK. I FEEL FOR THEM, THIS HAS TARRED THEM ALL WITH A BRUSH, UNFORTUNATELY, AND THEY ARE GREAT PEOPLE. THAT IS ALL VERY WELL, BUT YOU HAD OFFICIALS AT ONE OF THE COUNTRY'S BIGGEST MINISTRIES, WHERE THEY EFFECTIVELY, WHAT, LYING TO GOVERNMENT MINISTERS? THEY CERTAINLY DID PROVIDE ME WITH A REPORT THAT TOLD ME EVERYTHING WAS ROSY AND THE PROJECT WAS GOOD TO GO AND THE INDEPENDENT QUALITY ASSURANCE REPORT SAID GREAT THINGS, BUT IT WAS AFTER A PERIOD OF ASKING QUESTIONS AND ASKING FOR THAT REPORT, THAT ACTUALLY IN FACT IT'S IN THE VERY OPPOSITE. AT THE TIME I ASKED FOR AN EXPLANATION AND AN INVESTIGATION AND THE ANSWER THAT CAME OUT WAS THAT IT WAS A JUNIOR STAFFER AND THERE WAS A BIT OF A MIXUP, BUT IT WAS DIAMETRICALLY OPPOSED TO THE TRUTH AND NOW THEY HAVE THIS REPORT, THAT ALSO LAYS BEARS A LOT OF OTHER THING, WHEN YOU START TO PIECE TOGETHER THOSE THINGS, DOES SEEM TO BE OVER A LONG PERIOD OF TIME THAT INFORMATION WAS WITHHELD AND SOME TIMES WAS DELIBERATELY MISLEADING. TO THE TUNE OF $30 MILLION, THAT IS HOW MUCH IT HAS COST THE TAXPAYER, THAT COULD FUND THE EXTENSION OF BOWEL CANCER SCREENING, FOR EXAMPLE OVER FOUR YEARS. OF COURSE. IT IS EXTRAORDINARILY GUTTING. PUTTING YOURSELF IN MY SHOES WHEN I BECAME THE MINISTER AND GOT MY FIRST REPORT, IT SAID THAT MINISTER, THIS PROJECT IS RIGHT AT THE VERY END. IF WE WRITE IT OFF NOW IT WILL BE $31 MILLION, THIS WAS A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO, AND WE'VE GOT AN AGEING INFRASTRUCTURE THAT IS ABOUT TO FALL OVER. THAT IS AN EXTRAORDINARILY BIG DECISION TO HAVE TO MAKE AS A MINISTER WITHOUT, AS IT TURNS OUT, ALL THE INFORMATION YOU NEEDED TO MAKE THAT DECISION. SO YES, IT IS AN EXTRAORDINARY AMOUNT OF MONEY WHICH IS WHY I HAVE ASKED SIR BRIAN TO TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT HAPPENED OVER THAT PERIOD SINCE 2019 ALL THE WAY THROUGH TO MAKE SURE THAT THIS TYPE OF THING DOESN'T HAPPEN AGAIN BECAUSE THESE COSTS WILL BE BORN BY THE FUTURE USES OF THE IMMIGRATION SYSTEM. SHOULDN'T YOU HAVE PUSHED HARDER TO GET ALL OF THOSE FACTS ON THE TABLE? I PUSHED VERY HARD AND OF COURSE, YOU KNOW ME TOVA, I AM RIGHT ACROSS EVERYTHING. AND YOU HAVE ALWAYS LOOKED BACK WERE NOW THE FULLNESS OF INFORMATION THAT WE DIDN'T HAVE AND THINK WHAT I HAVE DONE THINGS DEFTLY, BUT AS FAR AS I CAN TELL, I WAS THE FIRST MINISTER TO ASK FOR MORE INFORMATION, A WHOLE LOT MORE DETAILS, TO GET MORE REPORTS REGULARLY, TO HAVE AN INDEPENDENT IT EXPERT TO COME AND OVER THE TOP AND REPORT DIRECTLY TO ME AND HAVE THE CEO OF MBIE PLAY A MAJOR PART IN WHAT WAS A RELATIVELY SMALL IT PROJECT. THEY TOLD US AT THE TIME THAT WE STOP NOW, $31 DOWN THE DRAIN AND WE ARE VERY, VERY CLOSE TO FINISHING. ALL THE REPORTS KEPT SAYING THAT WE CAN GET THERE, WE CAN GET THERE, WE ARE SO CLOSE. BUT OF COURSE, YOU ALWAYS LOOK BACK WITH THE FULL INFORMATION THAT THEY WERE OMITTING FROM ME, WOULD WE HAVE MADE A DIFFERENT DECISION? POSSIBLY, BUT MINISTERS ARE ONLY AS GOOD AS THE INFORMATION THEY GET AT THE TIME. WHY SHOULD THE PUBLIC TRUST ANYTHING THAT MBIE IS DOING? THEY HAVE WASTED $31 MILLION. THAT IS THE QUESTION THAT SIR BRIAN IS GOING TO BE ASKING IN HIS INDEPENDENT REPORT, TO MAKE SURE THAT NOT ONLY DO WE FLUSH THIS OUT AND FIND OUT WHAT HAS HAPPENED WITH THE INTEGRITY AT THE MINISTRY, BUT ALSO TO MAKE SURE THAT THE OTHER IT PROJECTS AND I HAVE ONE RUNNING AT THE MOMENT CALLED OUR FUTURE SERVICES WHICH IS PUTTING ALL OUR DIFFERENT SYSTEMS INTO ONE FOR VISA PROCESSING, THAT THAT ALSO DOESN'T HAVE THE SAME HALLMARKS AS THE OTHER ONES. I WANT THAT CONFIDENCE. EVEN THIS REVIEW, MINISTER, MBIE HAD IT FOR TWO MONTHS BEFORE THEY GAVE IT TO YOU. THAT IS NOT THE BEHAVIOUR OF TRUSTWORTHY OFFICIALS. NO, . IT IS NOT. WHAT YOU WANT ME TO SAY? IT IS MENTAL. HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE GOING TO LOSE THEIR JOBS OVER THIS. THAT IS A MATTER FOR SIR BRIAN. HE NEEDS TO FIND OUT WHATEVER HAPPENED WITH THIS PROJECT, AND THE EXCUSE THAT I'VE HAD FOR THIS REPORT NOT BEEN GIVEN TO ME FOR TWO MONTHS WAS THAT THEY WANTED TO PROVIDE A REPLY TO IT. OF COURSE, THERE WAS NO REPLY SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY HAPPENED OVER THE LAST TWO MONTHS. YOU HAVE GOT ALL THESE PEOPLE WHO HAD BEEN SITTING ON A DAMNING REPORT, ALL THESE PEOPLE WHO HAVE COVERED UP, COMPLETELY BOTCHED PROJECT TO THE TUNE OF $31 MILLION. AND NO ONE HAS LOST THEIR JOB, THOSE BAD APPLES ARE STILL SITTING IN A MINISTRY. REMEMBER, I ONLY GOT THE REPORT ON FRIDAY. THE FIRST THING I DID WAS SEND A MESSAGE TO SIR BRIAN, ARRANGE TO SPEAK WITH THEM AND WROTE TO HIM FORMALLY ON SUNDAY TO INVESTIGATE. THEY SHOULD BE GONE BY LUNCHTIME FRIDAY. TO BE FAIR, MOST OF THE PEOPLE ON THAT IT PROJECT HAVE GONE. YOU SAW IN A REPORT THAT THE MASS OF STAFF TURNOVER HAS MEANT THAT MOST OF THOSE PEOPLE HAVE GONE, BUT I EXPECT SIR BRIAN TO FIND OUT WHO DIDN'T SEND ME THE REPORT. THE ANSWER HAS NOT YET BEEN FORTHCOMING. CRAZY. THEY CAN SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME THIS MORNING, ERICA STANFORD. E WHAI AKE NEI ` COULD SOME DUNEDIN HOMES NEED TO MOVE BECAUSE OF FUTURE FLOODING? NEW COUNCIL PLANS ARE OUT THIS MORNING - WE'RE LIVE THERE NEXT. Just like new. Yeah, tell them what happened to the car. That was a mystery. Who is this reversing prodigy from Ranui? Some say a generational talent. generational talent. Where did that come from? A total mystery. Oh no, who put that there? He's such a mystery. Such a mystery. But I had already made the big switch to Tower, car's good as new. VOICEOVER: Why switch? WELCOME BACK TO BREAKFAST. MORE THAN A THOUSAND SOUTH DUNEDIN PROPERTY OWNERS COULD LOSE THEIR HOMES UNDER NEW PLANS RELEASED THIS MORNING. AFTER TWO MAJOR FLOODS IN A DECADE, TWO COUNCILS ARE LOOKING AT WHETHER PARTS OF THE SUBURB NEED TO MOVE TO KEEP PEOPLE SAFE. THE MODELLING WARNS DOING NOTHING COULD COST MORE THAN $200m EVERY YEAR IN DAMAGE, BY THE END OF THE CENTURY. 1NEWS REPORTER SAM OLLEY IS IN DUNEDIN FOR US THIS MORNING, AND JOINS US NOW. KIA ORA. KIA ORA. HERE I AM WITH JONATHAN ROWE, AND HE IS OVERSEEING THIS PROJECT. FIRSTLY, WE HAVE THREE OPTIONS FOR THE FUTURE ALL INVOLVE PROPERTY ACQUISITION, BUT WHAT DO THOSE OPTIONS INCLUDE? ALL OF THEM INVOLVE A MIX OF INVESTMENTS LIKE INFRASTRUCTURE, BUILDING PUMPS AND PIPES, SPARKS, RAISING SOME LAND IN SOME AREA, RAISING ABOVE THE FLOODPLAIN, AND ALSO IN SOME INSTANCES LOOKING AT EXISTING LAND THAT IS RAISED AND WE COULD DEVELOP NEW HOUSING ON. LIKE YOU SAY, IT IS NOT JUST ACQUIRING HOUSING AND TURNING THAT INTO PUBLIC WORKS, IT IS ALSO POTENTIALLY BUILDING NEW HOUSES IN SAFER PLACES. CAN YOU TALK THROUGH HOW THAT MIGHT WORK? ONE OF THE THINGS WE HAVE HEARD FROM THE COMMUNITIES IS THAT THEY WOULD LIKE TO SAY IN SOUTH DUNEDIN, SO WE ARE LOOKING AT OPTIONS AROUND COUNSEL OWNED LAND THAT MIGHT BE CURRENTLY GREEN SPACE OR PARKS, GOLF COURSES THAT MIGHT BE SUITABLE FOR HOUSING IN THE FUTURE AND LOOKING AT HOW WE COULD ESSENTIALLY DO A LAND SWAP IN THE FUTURE, CREATING NEW PARKS AND SPACES THAT ARE CURRENTLY HOUSING HIGH-RISK FLOOD PROPERTIES. WHY IS DUNEDIN SO FLOOD PRONE? IS A COMP GATED ANSWER. THREE KEY THINGS THE GEOGRAPHY, SO DUNEDIN IS AT THE BOTTOM OF A LARGE CATCHMENT, IT IS UP FORMER WETLANDS, AND HAS NO NATURAL OUTFLOW FOR WATER. IT IS KIND OF A BASIN WITH NO NATURAL OUTFLOW. COMPOUNDING THAT, YOU HAVE AGING INFRASTRUCTURE, URBAN DEVELOPMENT AND LOTS OF HARD, FLAT AREAS THAT INCREASE RUNOFF. ON TOP OF THAT, YOU HAVE THE COMPLICATION OF SEA LEVEL RISE MORE FREQUENT AND MORE SEVERE WITH THE ONSET OF CLIMATE CHANGE. THERE'S LOTS TO ACCOUNT FOR. THANK YOU SO MUCH. SO THE COUNCIL WILL LOOK AT THESE OPTIONS NEXT WEEK AND PROVIDING DAY APPROVE CONSULTATION ON THOSE OPTIONS, CONSULTATION WILL START AT THE START OF NEXT MONTH AND RUN FOR SIX WEEKS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. A MURI I NGA WHAKATAIRANGA ` YOUR 7.30 NEWS, SPORT AND WEATHER. # YOU ARE HOT AND YOU ARE COLD, YOU ARE YES AND YOU ARE NO. VOICEOVER: There's a world of chairs to choose from. But your body knows where it wants to be. Give your body what it wants, with Premium Economy. VOICEOVER: Sometimes damage can be a bit of a mystery... Oh no, who put that there? Make sure you're covered with Tower, Canstar's insurer of the year for home and contents, 3 years running, and get $200 off new house insurance today. Ts and Cs apply. THE IMMIGRATION MINISTER IS BACKING HER STAFF AFTER A MAJOR FAILED TECHNOLOGY UPGRADE. THE PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSIONER IS INVESTIGATING A TECHNOLOGY UPGRADE THAT WAS MEANT TO MODERNISE IMMIGRATION NEW ZEALAND'S IDENTITY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM, BUT INSTEAD LED TO $30m BEING WASTED. IMMIGRATION MINISTER ERICA STANFORD SAYS SHE'S STILL DIGESTING THE REPORT WHICH SHE RECEVIED ON FRIDAY, BUT SAYS THERE ARE SOME EXTRAORDINARY CLAIMS. I WANT TO MAKE CLEAR, THOUGH, I HAVE A GREAT TEAM AND IMMIGRATION AND EDUCATION. IT IS UNFORTUNATE THEY ARE BEING TARRED WITH THIS, BECAUSE THEY DO SOME AMAZING WORK. WE HAVE DONE A HUGE AMOUNT OF POLICY WORK IN IMMIGRATION, FOR EXAMPLE, IN THE LAST TWO YEARS. PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSIONER SIR BRIAN ROCHE CONFIRMED HE WILL APPOINT AN INDEPENDENT INVESTIGATOR TO LOOK INTO THE MATTERS RAISED. POLICE ARE RENEWING AN URGENT APPEAL FOR INFORMATION ABOUT MISSING CANTERBURY WOMAN ROWENA WALKER ON WHAT WOULD HAVE BEEN HER 40th BIRTHDAY. CHARLOTTE MULDER IS WITH US. HOW LONG HAS SHE BEEN MISSING NOW? SHE HAS BEEN MISSING FOR ABOUT 10 MONTHS NOW, TOVA. LAST SEEN AT A BURWOOD PROPERTY HERE IN CHRISTCHURCH. POLICE CONFIRMING THERE HAVE BEEN NO SIGHTINGS OR DIGITAL ACTIVITY FROM HER SINCE THEN. INVESTIGATORS HAVE COME TO BELIEVE THAT SHE MAY HAVE BEEN A VICTIM OF FOUL PLAY, AND FURTHER SEARCHES ARE CURRENTLY BEING PLANNED. IT IS INTERESTING TO NOTE THAT POLICE DID SAY IN THEIR STATEMENT, HER PARTNER AT THE TIME HAS DECLINED TO HELP ASSIST POLICE WITH ENQUIRIES, WHICH THEY ARE CALLING BOTH DISAPPOINTING AND FRUSTRATING. THEY ARE STILL URGING ANYONE FROM THE PUBLIC WITH ANY NEW OR ANY SORT OF INFORMATION TO COME FORWARD IMMEDIATELY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH, CHARLOTTE. A RED CROSS OFFICIAL IN CONGO IS WARNING THE WORST OF THE EBOLA OUTBREAK IN THE COUNTRY COULD BE YET TO COME. THERE ARE FEARS THE OUTBREAK IS SPREADING FASTER THAN RESPONSE EFFORTS, WITH THE HIGHEST DAILY INCREASES IN CASES COMING EARLIER THIS WEEK. A LACK OF TESTING CAPABILITIES HAS BEEN PART OF THE PROBLEM, BUT THINGS ARE IMPROVING. THE RESPONSE HAS BEEN MORE AND MORE EFFICIENT. WE ARE TRYING TO, NOW, TO CONTINUE TO DEVELOP AND DECENTRALISE OUR ACTIVITIES IN THE DIFFERENT PROVINCES. BUT YES, THE PEAK IS, I THINK, NOT BEHIND US, BUT IN FRONT OF US. THERE ARE NOW 782 TOTAL CONFIRMED CASES REPORTED, INCLUDING 181 DEATHS. THE HURRICANES HAVE ADMITTED THERE'S A LOT OF PRESSURE TO SEND THEIR DEPARTING PLAYERS OFF ON A HIGH. IT COMES AHEAD OF THEIR SOLD OUT SUPER RUGBY GRAND FINAL SHOWDOWN WITH THE CHIEFS IN WELLINGTON. THERE'S ALSO SOME PLAYERS THAT ARE LEAVING THAT HAVE BEEN PART OF THIS GROUP THE LAST... SOME 10, SOME OF US, LIKE, FIVE YEARS. WE'RE STRIVING FOR THE SAME GOAL, AND, YEAH, JUST FEEL LIKE WE CAN DO IT FOR THEM. THE CANES SEEKING THEIR FIRST SUPER RUGBY TITLE IN 10 YEARS.

I GUESS THE FOCUS FROM OUR POINT OF VIEW HAS BEEN ON OUR GROUP, AND OBVIOUSLY KANE'S RETIREMENT TOO. SO, YEAH, I GUESS IT IS WHAT IT IS. FROM OUR POINT OF VIEW, IT'S ABOUT FOCUSING ON THIS WEEK AS MUCH AS WE CAN, AND WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO GETTING INTO IT. DAY ONE OF THE TEST GETS UNDERWAY TONIGHT AT 10pm.

HEAD TO winwithbreakfast.co.nz NOW TO ENTER, AND WE'LL BE ANNOUNCING THE THREE LUCKY WINNERS THIS FRIDAY. WE'VE KNOWN FOR A WHILE NOW THAT THE WORLD'S CORAL REEFS ARE IN TROUBLE, WITH EXPERTS PREDICTING 90% OF THEM COULD BE GONE BY 2050 IF CLIMATE GOALS AREN'T MET. HOWEVER, RESEARCHERS HAVE NOW MAPPED OUT TENS OF THOUSANDS OF SQUARE KILOMETRES OF 'CLIMATE RESILIENT' CORAL REEFS THEY SAY PROVIDE HOPE FOR THE FUTURE. LEADER OF THE STUDY DR KYLE ZAWADA OF MACQUARIE UNIVERSITY JOINS US NOW FROM SYDNEY. VERY EARLY WHERE YOU ARE, SO THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING WITH US. TELL US ABOUT THE WORK YOU'VE BEEN DOING OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF YEARS. ABSOLUTELY. ESSENTIALLY WHAT WE HAVE BEEN DOING IS TRYING TO MATCH THE HEALTH OF THE WORLD'S CORAL REEFS AND TO TRY AND FIND THESE CORAL REEFS WHICH HAVE THE BEST CHANCE OF SURVIVING CLIMATE CHANGE. THE QUESTION IS OF COURSE HOW DO YOU GO ABOUT MAPPING THE WORLD'S CORAL REEFS? THANKFULLY PEOPLE HAVE BEEN STUDYING THEM FOR DECADES. WHAT MARINE BIOLOGISTS HAVE BEEN JUMPING IN THE WATER. YOU CAN MEASURE THE PERCENTAGE OF LIVING CORAL. PEOPLE HAVE BEEN DOING THIS SINCE THE 1960S AND EVEN EARLIER. WE NOW HAVE ACCESS TO THIS VAST AMOUNT OF DATA. WE HAVE THESE OBSERVATIONS OF CORAL REEF HEALTH. WE CAN THEN MATCH THAT WITH THINGS LIKE SATELLITE SEE SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURE. WE CAN THEN MEASURE THE HEALTH OF IT. YOU IMAGINE A GOLDILOCKS SITUATION WHERE YOU DON'T WANT THE WATER TO BE TOO COLD, AND YOU DEFINITELY DO NOT WANT IT TO BE TOO WARM, BUT THERE IS SOME SORT OF MIDDLE TEMPERATURE WHICH HELPS CORAL SURVIVE AND THRIVE. WE HAVE TAKEN A WHOLE BUNCH OF ENVIRONMENTAL PREDICTORS, AND WE TRAINED HUNDRED AND I MODEL IS ESSENTIALLY, WHICH TRADE AND LEARN THE COMPLEXITIES OF THE IMPACT OF ENVIRONMENT, TEMPERATURE, DEPTH. HOW DO THESE IMPACT HEALTH OF THE CORAL REEF? ONCE WE ARE HAPPY THEY CAN MAKE THOSE PREDICTIONS, WE RELEASE THEM ON THE WORLD. WE HAVE PREDICTED REEF HEALTH OVER THE ENTIRETY OF THE PLANET. IT IS ROUGHLY 70 MILLION WORLD CUP FOOTBALL PITCHES, IF YOU CAN IMAGINE THAT. YOU'VE FOUND MORE THAN 160,000 SQUARE KILOMETRES OF CLIMATE-CHANGE-RESILIENT CORAL REEF. WHAT MAKES THESE ONES SO HARDY? AND WHAT DOES IT MEAN? ABSOLUTELY. I THINK AT THIS POINT IT IS IMPORTANT TO SAY THAT WE'RE NOT SAYING THE REEFS THAT WE HAVE IDENTIFIED ARE DEFINITELY CLIMATE RESILIENT. WE'RE NOT SAYING, DON'T WORRY ABOUT THESE 30%. THEY WILL BE FINE WITH THE CURRENT TRAJECTORIES OF CLIMATE CHANGE AND HUMAN IMPACT. WHAT WE'RE SAYING IS LET'S LOOK FOR THE 30% OF THESE WORLDS CORAL REEF THEY HAVE THE BEST CHANCE OF SURVIVING SO WE CAN PUT OUR BEST CONSERVATION EFFORTS INTO IT. THE WAY WE HAVE IDENTIFIED THIS IS BASED ON A FEW DIFFERENT FACTORS. FIRST AND FOREMOST, WE WANT TO FIND REEFS THAT ARE HEALTHY TODAY, AND ALSO REEFS THAT ARE LIKELY TO BE HEALTHY IN THE FUTURE. JUST BECAUSE IT IS DOING A CAT THE MOMENT DOESN'T MEAN THAT ONCE CLIMATE CHANGE ARRIVES ON OUR DOORSTEP IN 2050 OR BEYOND THAT THAT WILL BE THE CASE. THAT IS WHAT WE WANTED TO FOCUS ON. THE SECOND THING IS ABOUT DIVERSIFYING AND LOOKING AT DIFFERENT TYPES OF REEFS. CORAL ARE ACTUALLY HUNDREDS OF SPECIES, NOT A SINGLE SPECIES. SO WE MAPPED THE HEALTH OF CORAL REEFS IN GENERAL, WE LOOKED AT DIFFERENT TYPES OF CORAL. THERE ARE BRANCHER CORALS THAT YOU TYPICALLY SEE ON PICTURES OF CORAL REEFS, THEY ARE IMPORTANT TO THE ECOSYSTEM BUT TEND TO DIE FIRST AND HEAT WAVES. THE SECOND TYPE WE MAPPED OTHER BIG, LUMPY BOULDER TYPE THAT CAN RESIST MARINE HEAT WAVES. THE THIRD TYPE OF CORAL WAS THESE ALMOST BIRD'S NEST CORAL. THEY ARE LIKE DELICATE LITTLE BIRDS NEST. THEY STILL DIE WHEN THERE IS A CYCLING OR MARINE HEAT WAVE, BUT IN THE RIGHT CONDITIONS, THEY CAN RECOVER. SO WE HAVE THESE THREE DIFFERENT TYPES OF REEFS THAT WE ARE TRYING TO INCLUDE IN THE 30%. THE NEXT THING WAS BASICALLY WE WANTED TO FIND REEFS THAT ARE WELL-CONNECTED. YOU DO NOT WANT TO PROTECTS A REEF THAT IS ISOLATED FROM OTHERS. YOU WANT ONES THAT CAN HELP THE OTHERS AROUND. THIS STUDY IS GLOBAL, BUT IT IS BASED ON MODELS, BUT MODELS ARE WRONG. MODELS AREN'T PERFECT. SO WE WANT TO BE OPEN ABOUT THAT AND MAKE SURE THE AREAS WE ARE IDENTIFYING BUT ALSO THE AREAS WE HAD MOST CONFIDENCE IN OUR PREDICTIONS. HOPEFULLY THIS RESEARCH AND DATA WILL BE PIVOTAL IN THOSE CONSERVATION EFFORTS. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR JOINING US ON BREAKFAST BRIGHT AND EARLY. ME U TONU MAI ` WE LOOK AT THE 30-YEAR PLAN TO FIX NEW ZEALAND'S INFRASTRUCTURE PROBLEM AND WHETHER ANY OF IT WILL ACTUALLY GET DONE. # GOOD LUCK, BABE. We got a new car you have to plug in. How far does it go? Turns out it went for one huge argument. I'm driving and it's my stereo! For two wee stops. (BARKS) One masterpiece. Girls! (ALL LAUGH) Four unlucky possums... hang on... FIVE! And two drivers. Do you know your left? So pretty far. Fast charge on the road and pay like you're at home. With Genesis at ChargeNet stations. WELCOME BACK. NEW ZEALAND HAS AN INFRASTRUCTURE PROBLEM. OUR $200b INFRASTRUCTURE DEFICIT SUGGESTS WE SUCK AT IT. AN INDEPENDENT COMMISSION HAS DRAWN UP A 30-YEAR PLAN TO TRY TO FIX THE WAY WE CHOOSE, FUND, AND BUILD INFRASTRUCTURE. THE GOVERNMENT SAYS IT BACKS THE PLAN'S MAIN IDEAS. INFRASTRUCTURE NEW ZEALAND CHIEF EXECUTIVE NICK LEGGETT JOINS US NOW. MORENA, NICK. THIS PLAN WAS RELEASED EARLIER IN THE YEAR AND THE GOVERNMENT HAS NOW RESPONDED. ARE YOU HEARTENED BY THE RESPONSE? I AM. IT IS A SENSIBLE LOOK AT THE SYSTEM THAT BUILDS INFRASTRUCTURE. AND ALSO THE THING WE REALLY SUCK AT IS MAINTAINING WHAT WE HAVE ALREADY BUILT. THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT MULTI-YEAR BUDGETING, WHICH MEANS, LIKE KIWIRAIL IS GOING TO GET NEXT YEAR, THREE YEARS OF CONFIRMED BUDGET, SO THEY CAN PLAN AHEAD AND DELIVER. THEIR FISSION SEES YOU GET, THE BETTER VALUE FOR MONEY YOU GET WITH THAT CERTAINTY MEANS THE OVERALL SYSTEM CAN BUILD MORE BECAUSE IT IS SAVING. THE OTHER REALLY HEARTENING PART OF WHAT WE HAVE HEARD IS YES, THE GOVERNMENT HAS ACCEPTED THE RECOMMENDATIONS, BUT THE GREENS AND LABOUR HAVE BOTH BROADLY SUPPORTED AS WELL. IT IS NOT KUM BA YA. BUT IT IS A FIRST STAGE TO SHOW THEY CAN GET ON THE SAME WAKA AND SHOW THEY CAN DO THE SAME THING OVER MULTIPLE POLITICAL CYCLES. VOTERS JUST PULL OUT HERE OUT WHEN WE HAVE A CHANGE OF GOVERNMENT EVERY THREE YES, SIX YEARS, NINE YEARS, AND PROJECTS GET RE-NEGGED UPON AND THERE ARE SUNK COSTS UP THE WAZOO. SO IS THIS GOING TO CHANGE THINGS GENUINELY? I THINK IT MIGHT OVER TIME. BUT WE HAVE GOT TO KEEP POLITICIANS' FEET TO THE FIRE. IT IS EASY TO SAY STUFF. IT IS MUCH HARDER TO ACT, AS WE KNOW, IN NEW ZEALAND.WE ARE GOOD AT ADMIRING THE PROBLEM BUT LESS GOOD AT TAKING ACTION. THAT MEANS PUTTING MORE MONEY INTO MAINTAINING AND RENEWING ASSETS. IT MEANS, AS YOU SAY, HAVING A MUCH STRONGER FUNDED PIPELINE THAT DOES NOT GET SHIFTED AROUND WHEN GOVERNMENTS CHANGE. THAT ENDS UP COSTING US BILLIONS OF DOLLARS A YEAR, BECAUSE AS YOU SAY, THINK COST, MONEY GOES ON BUT THE PROJECTS I NEVER BUILT. WE CAN DO SO MUCH BETTER THAN THIS. I HEARD SOMEBODY IN THE UK, AND INFRASTRUCTURE EXPERT, SAY LAST WEEK, THAT NEW ZEALAND IS THE LAST SORT OF COUNTRY IN THE DEVELOPED WORLD THAT LETS POLITICIANS PICKETS INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS. OF COURSE WE WANT POLITICAL LEADERS TO BE STRONG ON OUR BEHALF AND HOLD THE PURSE STRINGS. BUT WHAT WE NEED IS TO SAY, THIS IS WHAT WE NEED, THIS IS WHAT WE HAVE COSTED FOR SOME ONE CRITICISM OF THE PLAN WOULD BE THERE IS NO ECONOMIC AMBITION. INFRASTRUCTURE IS ACTUALLY THE ENABLER OF MORE PRODUCTIVE ECONOMY. WE CAN ENHANCE THE ENVIRONMENT MORE. THERE IS NOT AN AMBITION AROUND THAT. I THINK WE HAVE TO NOT BE CONSTRAINED BY OUR CURRENT THE SCHOOL POSITION AS A COUNTRY. WE KNOW THINGS ARE TIGHT. WE ACTUALLY NEED TO HAVE AN AMBITION TO GROW AND PROSPER. THAT IS ONE WAY TO GROW THAT. THAT IS WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE AROUND THE GENERAL ELECTION AS DISCUSSION AROUND HOW WE GROW AND IMPROVE OUR ECONOMIC FUTURE. I LOVE THAT POINT ABOUT OTHER COUNTRIES AND WHAT THEY DO, BECAUSE WE HAVE INFRASTRUCTURE USED AS ELECTION BRIBES WHEN THEY SHOULD BE ESSENTIAL SERVICES. YOU SAY BILLIONS PER YEAR. I WAS GETTING OUTRAGED ABOUT THIS YOU SAY BILLIONS PER YEAR. I WAS GETTING OUTRAGED ABOUT THIS IMMIGRATION PROJECT WHICH WAS BOTCHED WHICH COST $30 MILLION. NOT HAVING A SECURE FUNDED PIPELINE COST BETWEEN $2.3 BILLION AND $3.6 BILLION PER YEAR. COMPANIES CANNOT GET AND KEEP THE PEOPLE BECAUSE THE PIPELINE IS NOT SECURE. WHEN THERE IS A NATIONAL PLAN WHICH THE GOVERNMENT HAS COMMENTED ON, THAT NEEDS A PIPELINE. NOT JUST PROJECTS. WE NEED SOME CLARITY ABOUT WHAT IS COMING. BECAUSE WHAT HAPPENS IS THERE IS A COMMITMENT TO, OR AN IDEA TO BUILD A PROJECT, LET'S SAY LIGHT RAIL IN AUCKLAND. A WHOLE LOT OF EXPERTS CAN BE BROUGHT IN, BUT THE PROJECT MONEY IS NOT FORTHCOMING, THOSE PEOPLE HEAD OFFSHORE AGAIN, OR GO INTO OTHER INDUSTRIES, AND TO BRING THEM BACK COSTS US SO MUCH, BECAUSE IT IS ALWAYS CHEAPER TO DO INFRASTRUCTURE IN THE NOW, RATHER THAN IN THE FUTURE. AND WE ARE EXPERTS AT FINDING WAYS TO SAY NO TO DOING STUFF. AND I THINK WE'VE GOT TO CHANGE. AT OF THIS IS A MINDSET SHIFT. SUCK BUT HOPEFULLY WE CAN SUCK A LITTLE BIT LESS. E WHAI AKE NEI ` A MAN FROM THE UK HAS BOUGHT A BEER FROM ALL 48 NATIONS COMPETING AT THIS YEAR'S WORLD CUP. WE GET A GLANCE AT THE COLLECTION AND HIS MOTIVATION BEHIND IT, AFTER THE BREAK. # DRINK YOURSELF MORE BEERS. A FOOTBALL SUPERFAN FROM THE UK HAS MANAGED TO PURCHASE A BEER FROM EVERY NATION COMPETING IN THIS YEAR'S FIFA WORLD CUP. IT'S TAKEN A YEAR OF RESEARCHING TO TRACK DOWN A BREW FROM ALL 48 NATIONS. HE JOINS US NOW FROM THE UK. GUS HULLY, GOOD EVENING! WHAT INSPIRED THIS COLLECTION FOR YOU? I HAD SEEN SOMEBODY ON AN INTERNET FORUM BEFORE TRYING IT. I HAVE DONE IT FOR MEN'S WORKUPS, WOMAN'S WOODCUTS, MEN ZEROS, WOMAN'S EUROS. WENT IT WAS AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND FOR THE WOMAN, I PICKED UP A CAN OF SPEECH IS FOR THEM. HOW LONG HAS THIS COLLECTION BEEN GOING? SOMETIMES YOU DON'T KNOW WHO'S GOING TO BE AT THE WORLD CUP UNTIL A FEW WEEK'S OUT. IN MARCH 2025 IS KIND OF WHEN I STARTED. THEY WERE QUALIFIED AT THE SAME TIME, SO AS SOON THEY QUALIFIED, WAS LOCKING IT IN. IT TAKES A LOT OF TIME, BUT WITH THE PLAY-OFFS AS WELL, THEY COMMENCED ONLY THREE MONTHS AGO. IT IS A VERY LONG PROCESS WITH A LOT OF LOGISTICAL ISSUES. HOW DIFFICULT IS IT TO GET SOME OF THE BEERS? WHAT ARE SOME OF THE CHALLENGES YOU FACED? I REALLY STRUGGLED WITH PANAMA, BECAUSE THERE IS NOT MUCH OF A PANAMANIAN COMMUNITY IN THE UK. WHEN I WENT ON A HOLIDAY TO FLORIDA, WITH IRAQ IT IS A DRY COUNTRY SO IT IS LIMITED AS TO WHAT YOU CAN GET. I HAD TO BUY IT FROM A POLISH GUY WHO WENT TO IRAQ TWO YEARS AGO AND CAME HOME WITH IT AS A SOUVENIR. THAT WAS IN THE WORKINGS FOR QUITE A WHILE. YOU MUST HAVE TO BUT THE TENTACLES OUT TO FACEBOOK AND ALL THE REST OF IT TO TRY AND FIND CONNECTIONS. IS THAT HOW THIS WORKS? PRETTY MUCH, YOUR. EYE ALL READY HAVE A COMMUNITY OF BEAR HUNTERS ON FACEBOOK. I PUT OUT FACEBOOK POSTS AND IS THE RAM POSTS TO SEE IF ANYBODY COULD HELP ME OUT. THERE ARE A LOT OF KIND PEOPLE THAT I'M FRIENDS WITH THAT OR IS HELP ME OUT. I'VE JUST SEEN THE PICKLE BEAR WHICH IS THE NEW ZEALAND REPRESENTATIVE BY THE LOOKS OF THINGS. NICELY PLAYED. YOU DRINK THE BEARS WHEN THOSE TEAMS ARE PLAYING OR DO YOU JUST HAVE THEM AS A COLLECTION? I WILL DRINK THE BEARS BUT I WILL ONLY DRINK THEM WHEN EACH TEAM HAS BEEN ELIMINATED AS A WAY OF TOASTING THEM. YOU POUR A LITTLE OUT. I LIKE THE WAY YOU DO THAT. YOU HAVEN'T NEW ZEALAND CONNECTION I UNDERSTAND. MY WIFE IS FROM CHRISTCHURCH. YOU CAN GIVE A SHOUT OUT TO THEM THEN. THAT OF FOURSQUARE HAT AS WELL? IT IS FULL SO I PICKED IT UP ABOUT A YEAR AGO. THEY WILL LOVE A BIT OF KIWIANA ON THE SHOW. YOU OBVIOUSLY HAVEN'T TRIED ALL THE BEARS YET, BUT FROM THE ONES YOU HAVE TRIED UNTIL IT'S GONE BY, IS THERE A COUNTRY THAT DOES BEAR BETTER THAN ANYONE ELSE? GERMANY AND CZECH REPUBLIC ARE ALWAYS KNOWN FOR THEIR LAGERS, SO MOIST HAPPY TO DRINK THEM. AT THE SAME TIME, I'M REALLY HAPPY THAT NEW ZEALANDERS IN THE WORLD CUP AND I GET TO CHOOSE. I LOVE GARAGE PROJECT. WHERE DID YOU GET YOUR MATCH FROM, THE GLASS. MY SISTER GOT ME THAT FOR MY BIRTHDAY. AND HAVE NO IDEA WHERE SHE GOT IT. SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE SAID, GREAT GLASS. FOOTBALL FAN, BE A LOVER, HIS HOPING YOU CAN DRINK THE NEW ZEALAND BEAR AND THE ENGLISH BEAR WAY DOWN THE TRACK. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR JOINING US THIS MORNING. THANKS TO HAVING ME. REALLY APPRECIATE IT. I'VE HEARD THAT PICKLE BEAR KEEPS REALLY WELL. THE IMMIGRATION MINISTER EXPECTS HEADS WILL ROLL FOLLOWING A MAJOR TECHNOLOGY UPGRADE FAILURE. THE PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSIONER IS INVESTIGATING TAN UPGRADE WHICH WAS MEANT TO MODERNISE IMMIGRATION NEW ZEALAND'S IDENTITY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM BUT INSTEAD LED TO $30m BEING WASTED. STANDFORD IS DEMANDING AN EXPLANATION FROM HER STAFF. AND THE ANSWER THAT CAME BACK WAS, 'OH, WELL, IT WAS A JUNIOR STAFFER, 'AND THERE WAS A BIT OF A MIX-UP.' BUT IT WAS DIAMETRICALLY OPPOSED TO THE TRUTH. AND NOW THAT I'VE GOT THIS REPORT THAT ALSO LAYS BARE A LOT OF OTHER THINGS, WHEN YOU START TO PIECE TOGETHER THOSE THINGS, IT DOES SEEM TO BE THAT IT WAS OVER A LONG PERIOD OF TIME THAT INFORMATION WAS WITHHELD AND SOMETIMES WAS DELIBERATELY MISLEADING. THE PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSIONER SIR BRIAN ROCHE CONFIRMED HE WILL APPOINT AN INDEPENDENT INVESTIGATOR TO LOOK INTO THE MATTERS RAISED. FORMER U.S. VICE PRESIDENT KAMALA HARRIS HAS CRITICISED DONALD TRUMP'S HANDLING OF CONFLICT IN THE MIDDLE EAST. BUT TO BE CLEAR, IF YOU WERE PRESIDENT, YOU'D NEVER START THIS WAR? ABSOLUTELY NOT. ABSOLUTELY NOT. SPEAKING AT THE AUSTRIAN WORLD SUMMIT, HARRIS ALSO VOICING HER SCEPTICISM ABOUT THE AGREEMENT AIMED AT ENDING THE WAR, SAYING THE U.S. WILL END UP IN THE SAME POSITION AS THE 2015 NUCLEAR DEAL THAT DONALD TRUMP WITHDREW FROM. IT FOLLOWS COMMENTS FROM IRAN'S FOREIGN MINISTER'S THAT A NEW ROUND OF TALKS WITH THE U.S. WILL LIKELY TAKE PLACE ON FRIDAY WITH THE LOCATION YET TO BE DECIDED. THE FBI SAYS IT STOPPED A POTENTIAL TERROR PLOT AT THE UFC EVENT ON THE WHITE HOUSE SOUTH LAWN. SOURCES TELLING ABC NEWS FIVE PEOPLE WERE TAKEN INTO CUSTODY. ABC'S CHRISTIANE CORDERO HAS THIS REPORT. TODAY, THE FBI IS INVESTIGATING AN ALLEGED TERROR PLOT THEY SAY WAS MEANT TO TARGET THE WHITE HOUSE'S UFC FIGHT NIGHT ON PRESIDENT TRUMP'S 80th BIRTHDAY. COURT DOCUMENTS UNSEALED TODAY QUOTE DETAILED CONVERSATIONS ALLEGEDLY FROM A SIGNAL CHAT. IT'S UNCLEAR HOW FAR ALONG THE ALLEGED PLOT WAS. SOURCES TELL ABC NEWS AT LEAST FIVE PEOPLE WERE DETAINED AND AS MANY AS 23 PEOPLE WERE INVOLVED. PRESIDENT TRUMP, AT THE G7 SUMMIT IN FRANCE THIS MORNING SAID HE WASN'T YET BRIEFED ON IT. I HAVEN'T HEARD ABOUT IT, BUT I WATCHED` THE ATTACK THAT I WATCHED FROM THE FIGHTERS. (LAUGHTER) AND HE SAW IT TOO, BY THE WAY. HE WAS SITTING BACK HOME IN HIS BEAUTIFUL PALACE AND HE WAS WATCHING THAT. AND THEY WERE AS GOOD OF FIGHTS AS I'VE EVER SEEN. ACCORDING TO SOURCES, SOME OF THOSE INVOLVED ALLEGEDLY TRAVELLED TO FREDERICKSBURG, VIRGINIA DAYS BEFORE THE EVENT. TODAY ON FOX, VICE PRESIDENT JD VANCE SAID LAW ENFORCEMENT WILL INVESTIGATE WHAT HE CALLED UNDERGROUND NETWORKS POTENTIALLY CONNECTED. THIS IS A TERRORIST PLOT. THAT'S NOT A FEW GUYS DOING CRAZY STUFF. THAT IS A COORDINATED, PLANNED TERRORIST PLOT. THANK GOD WE THWARTED IT. HE MAY HAVE ANNOUNCED HIMSELF TO THE WORLD WITH A BREAKOUT PERFORMANCE AGAINST IRAN, BUT ELI JUST'S RISE TO STARDOM IS NO SURPRISE TO THOSE WHO KNOW HIM BEST. THE 26 YEAR OLD BAGGING A BRACE IN THE ALL WHITES' NAIL-BITING TOURNAMENT OPENER. HE MAY HAVE ANNOUNCED HIMSELF TO THE WORLD WITH A BREAKOUT PERFORMANCE IT'S LIKE I WRAPPED MY OWN CHRISTMAS PRESENT UP AND KNEW WHAT WAS INSIDE IT. SO I WASN'T SURPRISED, BUT I WAS, LIKE, OVERJOYED FOR THEM. BUT NO, I WASN'T SURPRISED AT WHAT I SAW, AGAIN, YESTERDAY. THE ALL WHITES WILL TAKE ON EGYPT IN VANCOUVER NEXT MONDAY. THERE'S ALWAYS A BIGGER FISH OUT THERE. HE WILL GO SOMEWHERE, I THINK. AS I SAID, HE IS TECHNICALLY VERY GIFTED. AND FINALLY, DAVID BECKHAM'S SON BROOKLYN HAS SEEMINGLY POKED FUN AT HIS FAMILY RIFT. THIS TIME STARRING IN AN AD FOR A FOOD DELIVERY APP. YOU'RE PROBABLY WONDERING WHY I'M WATCHING THE FIFA WORLD CUP 2026 FROM HOME. IT'S A LONG STORY. I DON'T GET IT. THIS COMES FIVE MONTHS AFTER HE SAID ON SOCIAL MEDIA HE DID NOT WANT TO 'RECONCILE' WITH HIS FAMOUS MOTHER AND FATHER. LITERALLY KNOW ONE IN THE WORLD WAS WONDERING WHY HE WASN'T AT THE WORLDL CUP. LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT THE MARKETS. (FUNKY MUSIC) WELL PLAYED TO GUS HULLY WHO HAS PLAYED THE LONG GENDER. A BIT OF A CHALLENGE TO GET A BEAR FROM IRAQ AS WELL. KAREN SAYS SHE COLLECT VINTAGE TENNIS RACKETS MOSTLY FROM OP SHOPS. I'VE GOT ONE OF THOSE WOODEN RACKETS BECAUSE THEY KEEP THE WOODEN FRAME FROM WARPING. GREAT FOR THE PHOTO SHOOTS, AREN'T THEY?

DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING THAT COULD MATCH THE BARE COLLECTION OF THE TENNIS RACKET COLLECTION. AND NOW TO THE WEATHER. A FAIRLY GREY DAY FOR MOST OF THE NORTH. CLOUDY WITH THE CHANCE OF A SHOWER IN KAITAIA AND AUCKLAND. MORNING FOG IN HAMILTON. MAINLY FINE IN THE BAY OF PLENTY. HEAVY AFTERNOON SHOWERS IN NEW PLYMOUTH AND PALMERSTON NORTH. SUNNY IN GISBORNE AND HAWKE'S BAY; OCCASIONAL RAIN IN THE CAPITAL. 13 IS THE HIGH IN ROTORUA; 16 IN LEVIN. IT'S A SIMILAR STORY DOWN SOUTH. CLOUDY WITH THE ODD MORNING SHOWER IN NELSON AND BLENHEIM. SOUTHERLY WINDS IN KAIKOURA. RAIN, POSSIBLY HEAVY IN HOKITIKA. CLOUDY PERIODS IN CHRISTCHURCH AND TIMARU. CHANCE OF A MORNING SHOWER IN QUEENSTOWN. FINE SPELLS INCREASING IN GORE AND INVERCARGILL. 9 IS THE HIGH IN ALEXANDRA; 15 IN WESTPORT. THERE AREN'T MANY PEOPLE WITH A WINDOW INTO THE MINDS OF ALL BLACKS, FORMULA ONE TEAMS, AND OLYMPIC CHAMPIONS. NEUROSCIENTIST KERRY SPACKMAN HAS WORKED WITH THEM ALL, AND IN HIS NEW BOOK, THE WINNER'S FORMULA, HE REVEALS THE MENTAL PATTERNS THAT SEPARATE THE BEST FROM THE REST. KERRY SPACKMAN JOINS US NOW. GOOD MORNING. GOOD MORNING AND THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME. WHEN I SEE A BOOK LIKE THIS, IT CAN BE QUITE INTIMIDATING BECAUSE YOU THINK, AND MICHAEL HAD TO BE READING SOMETHING LIKE THIS? WHAT IS THE MESSAGE SHE WOULD GIVE TO PEOPLE ABOUT WHAT THIS BOOK IS ABOUT. THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS THAT EVERYBODY CAN IMPROVE AND THAT IT IS NOT JUST ABOUT WHAT YOU ARE BORN WITH. YOU CAN RISE ABOVE YOUR GENES. THERE IS A PROCESS WHERE YOU CAN REWIRE YOUR GENETIC SYSTEM, YOUR BRAIN AND SO ON. THERE IS A FORMULA YOU CAN FOLLOW FOR SOME IT IS NOT A SIMPLE THING. I THINK THAT IS THE OTHER THING WITH MOST SELF-HELP BOOKS AS THEY SAY, JUST TO DO THIS OR JUST DO THAT. IT NEVER WORKS. IT MIGHT WORK FOR SIX WEEKS OR SEVEN WEEKS, BUT REALLY AND TRULY, THERE IS A WHOLE PROCESS YOU GO THROUGH. SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE SHOW THAT PROCESS. I DON'T KNOW IF THERE ARE MANY BOOKS THAT MENTION ROGER FETTER AND ADOLPHE HITLER WITHIN PAGES OF EACH OTHER. WHAT IS IT ABOUT THIS PEOPLE THAT YOU LOOK AT IN TERMS OF WHAT IS GOING ON IN THEIR BRAINS? FOR HITLER, THERE WAS AN INCREDIBLE BELIEF IN HIMSELF WHICH UNFORTUNATELY WENT CATASTROPHICALLY WRONG FOR THE WORLD. THIS UNSHAKEABLE BELIEF THAT HE HAD. THEN YOU HAVE PEOPLE LIKE ROGER FETTER WHO ALSO HAVE AN UNSHAKEABLE BELIEF THAT ALLOWS THEM TO RISE ABOVE AND CONTINUE TO IMPROVE. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I WAS QUITE INTERESTED IN AS I DID A STUDY IN WORLD CHAMPIONS AND I LOOKED AT EVERY SINGLE TENNIS PLAYER OVER THE LAST 40 YEARS THAT WAS RATED IN THE TOP 1000 EACH WEEK BY THE ATP. THERE IS NO PATTERN THAT PREDICTS WHO WAS GOING TO BE A CHAMPION FROM THEIR EARLY SUCCESS. THE MOST SUCCESSFUL WIMBLEDON JUNIOR CHAMPIONS OFTEN DON'T BECOME SENIOR CHAMPIONS, SO THIS IS THE IMPORTANT POINT. YOU CAN RISE ABOVE YOUR GENES, BUT YOU NEED TO FOLLOW A PROCESS. THAT IS WHAT IS IMPORTANT. THE PROCESS IS IMPORTANT. THERE IS A WONDERFUL QUOTE THAT ROGER FETTER ARE MADE WHEN SOMEBODY ASKED HIM AS AT HIS GENIUS OR HARD WORK THAT HAS GOT HIM TO WHERE HE WAS? HE SAID I HAVE TO WORK HARD IN MY GENIUS. YOU HAVE PEOPLE CAME ANOTHER PEOPLE THAT HAVE BEEN SUCCESSFUL, ALL BLACKS, OLYMPIANS. IS THERE SOMETHING THAT IS AN UNDERLYING TRAIT THAT THEY HAVE THAT OTHER PEOPLE DON'T HAVE OR IS IT JUST THAT THEY ARE PREPARED TO WORK ON IT? THEY ALL WORKED UNBELIEVABLY HARD, HARDER THAN MOST PEOPLE REALLY THINK. THE SECOND THING IS THEY ARE RESILIENT AND CAN GET OVER PROBLEMS, BECAUSE IF YOU DO ANY SPORT OR ANY BUSINESS, THERE WILL BE SETBACKS AND YOU HAVE TO BE ABLE TO OVERCOME THOSE. BUT HAVING SAID THAT, THERE IS ANOTHER THING THAT IS REALLY IMPORTANT AND THAT IS WHAT I CALL RELENTLESS ATTENTION TO DETAIL. IF YOU CAN FIND ALL THE LITTLE NUANCES AND YOU CAN ADD THOSE NUANCES TOGETHER, YOU FIND THINGS THAT NOBODY ELSE DOES. THAT IS A REAL SECRET. REAL QUICKLY, I HAD AN INTERESTING EXPENSE WITH STUART, THREE TIME CHAMPION. THE OPEN THE CUDDLE AND CLOSE THAT AN OPEN AND CLOSED IT. I THOUGHT WHAT ARE YOU DOING? HE SAID FEEL THE LATCH MECHANISM. THAT IS THE ATTENTION TO DETAIL. WHEREVER HE WENT, THERE WAS DETAIL. IN YOUR JOB, I SEE ALL THE HOMEWORK YOU'VE DONE. THESE THINGS ADD UP. WHEN YOU SAY THE WINNERS FORMULA, IS THERE A FORMULA THAT IS UNIVERSAL OR IS IT GOING TO BE DIFFERENT FOR DIFFERENT PEOPLE? REALLY GOOD QUESTION. I APPROACH IT FROM A THREE PRONGED APPROACH LIKE A HOSPITAL. THE FIRST THING YOU DO IN A HOSPITAL AS YOU DO THE MRI SCANS, YOUR BRAIN SCANS, YOUR BLOOD TESTS. THE SECOND THING YOU DO AS THE CLINICIAN LOOKS AT ALL THOSE THINGS AND ONLY THEN DO YOU ACTUALLY GET THE PROGNOSIS, THE INTERVENTION. I THINK EVERYBODY NEEDS TO GO THROUGH THOSE THREE STEPS, BUT WHAT IS IN EACH OF THOSE THREE STEPS IS TOTALLY DIFFERENT. WHAT IS IMPORTANT FOR YOU IS NOT IMPORTANT FOR ME, BUT THERE IS A PROCESS WE FIND WHICH OTHER BITS THAT ARE FIGHTING EACH OTHER. THE PROCESS IS SO IMPORTANT, IT IS NOT THE INDIVIDUAL PARTS OF THAT PROCESS. SUCH FASCINATING STUFF, KERRY. WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT THAT UNWAVERING SELF BELIEF, WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THAT AND NARCISSISM, THAT KIND OF DARK TRIAD AREA THAT WE WANT TO GO INTO? YOU DON'T WANT TO BE NOT ASSISTING THAT'S FOR SURE. EVERY GENUINE WORLD CHAMPION I HAVE MET HAS BEEN SO GRACIOUS WITH THEIR TIME, SO GENUINE, AND THAT IS ANOTHER ART OF BEING SUCCESSFUL. IF THEY ARE JUST ABOUT THEMSELVES, IT NEVER WORKS. IF I CAN TAKE A LITTLE SECOND, I WAS WITH STUART AGAIN. WE WERE REALLY LATE FOR A MEETING, REALLY IMPORTANT PEOPLE. A LITTLE KID CAME UP TO HIM AND HE GOT DOWN ON HIS KNEES AND STOPPED AND HAD A MOMENT WITH THE KID. I THINK, WELL, HE IS OF THREE TIME WORLD CHAMPION, BUSY AS EVER. AND HE STOPPED FOR A LITTLE KID. EVERY ONE OF THE TOP CHAMPIONS I'VE EVER WORKED WITH HAS THIS GRACIOUSNESS ABOUT THEM. WE DON'T HEAR ABOUT THAT. IT IS REALLY IMPORTANT. IS IT FASCINATING FOR YOU TO SEE THE DIFFERENCES WHEN IT COMES TO DIFFERENT SPOTS EVEN FROM RUGBY TO F1 WHEN THEY ARE DEALING WITH NOT EVEN SPLIT SECONDS BECAUSE IT IS SO MUCH SMALLER THAN THAT FOR F1. THAT THE DEAL WITH POTENTIALLY ENORMOUS CONSEQUENCES. A FASCINATED BY HOW THAT WORKS AS WELL? I APPROACH THINGS QUITE DIFFERENTLY. FOR ME, IT IS HOW DOES THE HUMAN BRAIN PERFORM? AND A MOTORCAR FOR EXAMPLE THERE IS A CONTROL LOOP. THE DRIVER FEEL SOMETHING, THAT IS PERCEPTION. THERE IS A VIBRATION THROUGH THE FINGERTIPS, WHAT HAPPENS IN THERE BUTT. THEN THERE IS THE ACTUAL OUTPUT. FOR ELITE PEOPLE, THEY DO THAT BELOW THE LEVEL OF CONSCIOUSNESS. CONSCIOUSNESS IS JUST TOO SLOW. WHAT IS REALLY IMPORTANT IS HOW YOU PUT CONSCIOUS ACTIONS INTO THE UNCONSCIOUS AUTOMATIC AND FAST. ALL OF THESE PEOPLE HAVE A WAY OF DOING THAT. AGAIN, THERE IS A PROCESS WE DO IT. IF YOU'D DON'T HAVE TO DO IT, YOU WILL ALWAYS BE STUCK AT THE CONSCIOUS LEVEL. SOME PEOPLE TRY REALLY, REALLY HARD AT SPORT. THAT IS NOT ENOUGH. IT IS THE TECHNIQUE TO PUT THAT INTO THE UNCONSCIOUS. DO YOU THINK IT IS GETTING HARDER FOR ATHLETES TO DEAL WITH ALL OF THAT WHEN THE ATTENTION SEEMS TO BE SO MUCH MORE CONSTANT NOW? THE PRESSURE IS MORE CONSTANT NOW WHEN YOU HAVE SO MANY OVALS AND CAMERAS. THERE IS NO QUESTION THAT THE PSYCHOLOGICAL PRESSURE IS ON THEM. I CALL IT A PSYCHOLOGICAL INJURY THAT THESE PEOPLE PICK UP. THEY HAVE BEEN CONSTANTLY LITTLE CUTS IN THE MEDIA. THAT IS TELLING IS A PHYSICAL INJURY. THEY ARE REALLY UNDER THE PUMP THESE DAYS 24 SEVEN. THE WINNERS FORMULA FOR SURVEY TAKE IT THIS BOOK IS OUT NOW AND AVAILABLE. REAL PLEASURE TO HAVE YOU. ME U TONU MAI ` WE SPEAK TO A CARER ABOUT THEIR CONCERNS WITH A NEW BILL AIMED AT STRENGTHENING DISABILITY SUPPORT. (TRACTOR ENGINE SOUND) VOICEOVER: See near and far with a complete pair of progressives from 169. Should have gone to Specsavers. HERE'S WHAT'S MAKING NEWS THIS MORNING ` IMMIGRATION MINISTER ERICA STANFORD EXPECTS HEADS TO ROLL FOLLOWING A MAJOR TECHNOLOGY UPGRADE FAILURE. FORMER U.S. VICE PRESIDENT KAMALA HARRIS HAS CRITICISED DONALD TRUMP'S HANDLING OF THE CONFLICT IN THE MIDDLE EAST. THE BLACKCAPS ARE SHUTTING OUT ALL DISTRACTIONS FROM THE ENGLAND CAMP AHEAD OF THEIR SECOND TEST AT THE OVAL. DISABILITY ADVOCATES ARE CALLING FOR THE GOVERNMENT TO SCRAP DISABILITY ADVOCATES ARE CALLING FOR THE GOVERNMENT TO SCRAP THE DISABILITY SUPPORT SERVICES BILL, OVER FEARS IT WOULD STRIP PEOPLE OF THEIR RIGHTS. THE BILL IS INTENDED TO PROVIDE CLARITY AND STABILITY TO THE SYSTEM, AND ALSO MAKES IT CLEAR THE CROWN IS NOT THE EMPLOYER OF FAMILY CARERS. CAREGIVER VICTORIA COLEMAN SAYS THE BILL IS DISCRIMINATORY AND COULD ADD EVEN MORE PRESSURE TO FAMILIES. I SPOKE TO HER YESTERDAY. WE'RE JUST NORMAL PEOPLE, EVERYDAY KIWIS. WE HAD A BABY SEVEN YEARS AGO. AS FAR AS WE KNEW, EVERYTHING WAS FINE. HE WAS DECLARED HEALTHY AT BIRTH. AND A DAY OR TWO AFTER HIS BIRTH, HE STARTED GOING DOWNHILL AND BECAME VERY, VERY SICK. AND WE FOUND OUT THAT HE HAD A GENETIC CONDITION AND THAT HE HAD MULTIPLE RARE BOWEL DISORDERS. AND HE WAS JUST A VERY COMPLEX LITTLE GUY. AND THAT BECAME OUR LIFE. SO... WHAT HAS THAT MEANT FOR YOUR LIFE? EVERYTHING JUST STOPS. EVERYTHING IS OVER. I HAD PLANNED TO RETRAIN. I HAD PLANNED TO HAVE ANOTHER CAREER LATER IN LIFE, YOU KNOW, WHEN OUR KIDS REACHED A CERTAIN AGE. THAT WAS ALL GONE, WIPED. NOTHING IS POSSIBLE ANY MORE. AND WHAT ARE YOUR CONCERNS FOR THE GOVERNMENT'S DISABILITY SUPPORT SERVICES BILL GOING THROUGH THE PARLIAMENT AT THE MOMENT? WHAT ARE YOU CONCERNED THAT THIS BILL WILL DO, AND HOW IT WILL IMPACT YOUR SITUATION? IT'S RUSHED, IT'S HARMFUL, AND IT DOESN'T DO WHAT THEY ARE TELLING PEOPLE IT DOES. IT ACTUALLY GIVES THEM HUGE SWEEPING POWERS, WHICH I DON'T KNOW WHY THEY NEED. THEY SAY IT DOESN'T CHANGE ANYTHING. IF IT DOESN'T CHANGE ANYTHING, IT'S NOT NEEDED. WHY DO YOU THINK IT'S HARMFUL? AND WHAT ARE THOSE SWEEPING POWERS THAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THERE? SO THE ABILITY TO WRITE SECONDARY LEGISLATION, WHICH IS COMPLETELY... UNDEFINED FOR US. WE HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THAT WILL MEAN FOR US. AND WHEN YOU LIVE IN OUR WORLD, THAT IS TERRIFYING. SOMEBODY ASKING TO HAVE TOTAL POWER OVER YOU, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT'S A GOVERNMENT THAT WE'VE HAD A LOT OF ISSUES WITH, IT'S JUST SO SCARY. BUT THE BILL ITSELF ACTUALLY REMOVES RIGHTS FROM DISABLED PEOPLE AND THEIR FAMILIES, RIGHTS UNDER THE BILL OF RIGHTS AND HUMAN RIGHTS. WE WILL NOW HAVE LESS RIGHTS THAN OTHER TYPICAL CITIZENS, WHICH IS VERY SCARY. EXPLAIN TO PEOPLE WHAT THAT SECONDARY LEGISLATION THING IS ` WHY YOU THINK THAT'S GOING TO BE SO HARMFUL? IT'S A BLANK CHECK. RIGHT? IMAGINE SOMEBODY SAYING TO YOU, 'WE WANT THE ABILITY TO DO ANYTHING 'TO YOU THAT WE CAN, BUT PLEASE TRUST US THAT WE WON'T HURT YOU, 'EVEN THOUGH WE'VE ALREADY HURT YOU.' NOBODY WOULD AGREE TO THAT. WHAT KIND OF SUPPORT DO YOU FEEL THE COMMUNITY NEEDS? I THINK I THINK THAT POTENTIALLY THE GOVERNMENT HAS CALCULATED THE POLITICAL RISK HERE AND DECIDED THAT WE WON'T RECEIVE THE REPORT... SORRY, SUPPORT FROM THE PUBLIC THAT WE NEED. AND I'M HOPING THEY HAVE VERY BADLY MISCALCULATED, BECAUSE I BELIEVE THAT THERE IS A LOT OF HUMANITY OUT THERE, AND THAT THERE IS A LOT OF SUPPORT FOR OUR COMMUNITY BEYOND JUST OUR... YOU KNOW, SMALL PART OF THE POPULATION. WHAT'S THE MESSAGE THAT YOU WANT TO PUT OUT THERE TO PEOPLE WHO PERHAPS THIS ISN'T ON THEIR RADAR? THEY DON'T REALLY KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON. WHAT WOULD YOU SAY TO THEM TO GET THEM INVOLVED AND TO GET THAT SUPPORT THAT YOU NEED? I GUESS THIS COULD HAPPEN TO ANYONE. THIS COULD BE YOU TOMORROW. YOU KNOW, WE DIDN'T DO ANYTHING WRONG TO GET HERE. AND WE CAN'T WALK AWAY FROM THIS. THIS IS OUR LIFE FOREVER. AND PEOPLE NEED TO BE AWARE OF THE CRUSHING HARM THIS IS GOING TO CAUSE. I BELIEVE THIS IS GOING TO CAUSE MORE SUICIDES. I BELIEVE THIS IS GOING TO CAUSE MORE BREAKDOWNS, MORE BURNOUTS. AND I ACTUALLY BELIEVE IN THE LONG RUN, THIS IS GOING TO COST THE TAXPAYER MORE THAN IT'S TRYING TO SAVE. AND VICTORIA HAS STARTED A PETITION. IT'S ON THE ACTION STATIONS WEBSITE AND ALREADY HAS 14,000 SIGNATURES. WE WANTED TO PUT VICTORIA'S POINTS TO THE DISABILITY ISSUES MINISTER LOUISE UPSTON IN AN INTERVIEW. SHE REFUSED TO COME ON THE SHOW, INSTEAD PROVIDING A STATEMENT SAYING THE BILL RESPONDS TO COMMUNITY FEEDBACK AND DOESN'T CHANGE ELIGIBILITY OR ACCESS SETTINGS FOR DISABLED PEOPLE, FAMILIES, OR CARERS, NOR DOES IT REMOVE THE RIGHTS OF ADULTS WITH DISABILITIES TO MAKE DECISIONS ABOUT THEIR CARE. MIKE HAS A TOY ROOM. HE SAYS HE'S STARTING TO RUN OUT OF SPACE. THAT ARE STACKED. PUZZLES, TOYS, ALL SORTS. SOME STILL IN ORIGINAL PACKAGING WHICH IS IMPORTANT IF YOU ARE A TOY COLLECTOR. BUT YOU DON'T GET TO PLAY WITH IT. MY NEPHEW HAS A REALLY GOOD STAR WAS FIGURING COLLECTION. STEF ` I HAVE AROUND 65 BEATRIX POTTER FIGURINES THAT I HAVE RIGHT UNDER THE WINE GLASSES TO. THAT AS A PARTY AT HER HOUSEHOLD. ALL IN PERFECT CONDITION. THE FIGURINES ARE A MIXTURE OF ROYAL DOULTON, ROYAL ALBERT AND JOHN BESWICK. THEY ARE HARDER TO FIND THESE DAYS SADLY. VERY NICE. KEEP THOSE PHOTOS COMING IN OF YOUR COLLECTIONS. WHEN IS A COLLECTION BECOME A COLLECTION? I HAVE A COLLECTION BUT THAT'S JUST BOOKS./ WHEN IS A BECOME AN OBSESSION? SEND US PHOTOS OF YOUR COLLECTIONS, THE WETTER THE BETTER. E WHAI AKE NEI ` YOU'VE HEARD OF THE ALL BLACKS, THE TALL BLACKS AND THE BLACK STICKS, BUT HAVE YOU HEARD OF THE BLACK SACKS? WE'LL GO TO CHARLOTTE MULDER NEXT. ONE PERSON HAS DIED AFTER AN ASSAULT IN CENTRAL AUCKLAND LAST NIGHT. EMERGENCY SERVICES WERE CALLED TO WELLESLEY ST EAST AROUND 6.45pm. A MAN SUSTAINED CRITICAL INJURIES AND WAS TAKEN TO HOSPITAL WHERE HE DIED. A MAN (23) HAS BEEN CHARGED WITH MURDER. HE IS KNOWN TO THE VICTIM. INFRASTRUCTURE NEW ZEALAND'S CHIEF EXECUTIVE IS PLEASED THERE'S FINALLY A LONG-TERM PLAN TO FIX THE SECTOR. AN INDEPENDENT COMMISSION HAS DRAWN UP A 30-YEAR PLAN TO TRY TO AMEND THE WAY INFRASTRUCTURE IS CHOSEN, FUNDED AND BUILT. THE PLAN'S BACKED BY THE GOVERNMENT AND INFRASTRUCTURE NEW ZEALAND'S CHIEF EXECUTIVE NICK LEGGETT SAYS IT'S A SENSIBLE LOOK AT THE SYSTEM. THE THING WE REALLY SUCK AT IS MAINTAINING WHAT IS ALREADY BUILT. AND THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT MULTI-YEAR BUDGETING, WHICH MEANS THAT YOU'RE GETTING ` LIKE KIWIRAIL IS GONNA GET NEXT YEAR ` THREE YEARS OF CONFIRMED BUDGET. SO THEY COULD ACTUALLY PLAN AHEAD AND DELIVER. AND THE EFFICIENCIES YOU GET, THE BETTER VALUE FOR MONEY YOU GET WITH THAT CERTAINTY MEANS THAT OVERALL, THE SYSTEM CAN BUILD MORE BECAUSE IT'S SAVING. LEGGET SAYS IT'S ENCOURAGING TO SEE CROSS-PARTY SUPPORT FOR THE PLAN. INTERNATIONAL CRUDE OIL BRIEFLY DIPPED BELOW US$80 A BARREL, FOLLOWING RENEWED TALKS AIMED AT EASING TENSIONS IN THE MIDDLE EAST. PRICES FALLING FOR THREE CONSECUTIVE TRADING SESSIONS AFTER THE ANNOUNCEMENT OF A PRELIMINARY AGREEMENT. CRUDE STILL REMAINS WELL ABOVE PRE-CONFLICT LEVELS BUT IS SIGNIFICANTLY LOWER THAN THE PEAKS SEEN DURING THE RECENT ESCALATION. IT FOLLOWS U.S. PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP'S CLAIMS THAT THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ WILL BE FULLY REOPENED BY FRIDAY. SEVERAL WILDFIRES IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA ARE LEADING TO EVACUATION ORDERS. ABC'S ALEX STONE HAS THIS REPORT. FIREFIGHTERS HERE IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA ARE BATTLING SEVERAL WILDFIRES IN THE LAST 24 HOURS OR SO THAT DEVELOPED IN HOT WEATHER IN THE MID 90S. THE WINDS HAD KICKED UP. THEY'VE NOW DIED DOWN, AND IT'S BEEN VERY DRY. ONE OF THOSE FIRES NORTH OF LA IN THE COMMUNITY OF STEVENSON RANCH, A SUBURB OF LA. FIREFIGHTERS BATTLED BACK THE FLAMES FROM THE AIR AND THE GROUND. THEY WERE ABLE TO SAVE ALL OF THE HOMES. THERE WERE SOME EVACUATIONS THERE. BUT THE BIGGER FIRE IS THIS ONE WHERE I AM RIGHT NOW IN RIVERSIDE COUNTY. THIS IS ABOUT 2500 ACRES. FIREFIGHTERS BATTLING THIS. THEY DON'T KNOW HOW IT STARTED, BUT THEY'RE BATTLING THIS RIGHT NOW. THEY'VE BEEN GOING ALL NIGHT LONG INTO TODAY TRYING TO TO SAVE HOMES. THERE ARE EVACUATIONS HERE AS WELL. THE BIG THING THAT THEY'RE DOING IS TRYING TO BUILD CONTAINMENT LINE. THAT IS WHEN WE TALK ABOUT A PERCENTAGE OF CONTAINMENT GETTING DOWN TO BARE SOIL IF THEY'RE DIGGING IT, OR WHERE I AM RIGHT NOW ON A ROAD WHERE THE FIRE CAN'T BURN ANY MORE. I MEAN, YOU CAN SEE OVER HERE WHERE THE FIRE CAME RIGHT UP TO THE ROAD AND STOPPED. THIS IS PERFECT CONTAINMENT LINE FOR FIREFIGHTERS. THIS IS WHAT THEY WANT. AND THEY SAY THEY ARE GETTING CONTAINMENT. NUMBERS ARE GOING UP AS WE'RE ABLE TO GET OUT AND DIG MORE FIRE LINE. BUT ALL OF THIS IS A WARNING OF WHAT COULD BE TO COME THIS SUMMER, THAT IT'S ALREADY THIS ACTIVE, THE WILDFIRE SEASON. AND WE'RE NOT THAT FAR INTO WHAT IS TYPICALLY THE FIRE SEASON IN CALIFORNIA, IF THERE EVEN IS A FIRE SEASON ANY LONGER, SINCE FIRES DEVELOP YEAR-ROUND HERE. FORMER FOOTBALL FERN JENNY BINDON SAID SHE'S PROUD OF SON TYLER BINDON AFTER HIS WORLD CUP DEBUT FOR NEW ZEALAND. THE PAIR MADE HISTORY AS THE FIRST MOTHER-SON DUO TO PLAY AT A FIFA WORLD CUP WHEN TYLER CAME ON IN THE 92nd MINUTE. TO SEE TYLER AGAIN ON THE PITCH IS JUST... I DON'T HAVE WORDS. THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT HAVE BEEN A BIG PART OF HIS VILLAGE, AND THEY KNOW WHO THEY ARE. A LOT OF FOOTBALL FERNS THAT HAVE JUST BEEN THERE AND HAVE HAD A LITTLE TEAR, I THINK, ALONG WITH ME TODAY. SO... THE ALL WHITE'S NEXT MATCH IS AGAINST EGYPT ON MONDAY. STAYING WITH FAMILY SPORTING DUOS, SERENA AND VENUS WILLIAMS ARE SET TO REUNITE ON THE COURT AFTER BEING AWARDED A DOUBLES WILDCARD TO WIMBLEDON.

INFRASTRUCTURE NEW ZEALAND'S CHIEF EXECUTIVE NICK LEGGETT IS PLEASED THERE'S FINALLY A LONG TERM PLAN TO FIX THE SECTOR. AND KYLIAN MBAPPE HAS BECOME THE JOINT ALL TIME LEADING GOAL SCORER FOR FRANCE WITH THIS FINISH AGAINST SENEGAL AT THE WORLD CUP. CORNHOLE ` THE BEER GARDEN GAME WHERE PLAYERS TOSS BEAN BAGS AT A RAISED BOARD WITH A HOLE IS BOOMING IN POPULARITY NATIONWIDE. IT'S SIMPLE IN THEORY, HARDER IN PRACTICE, AND INCREASINGLY COMPETITIVE AS BRAGGING RIGHTS GO ON THE LINE. SO WE SENT REPORTER CHARLOTTE MULDER ALONG TO SEE HOW HER SKILLS STACK UP AGAINST NEW ZEALAND'S GROWING ARMY OF CORNHOLE PLAYERS. KIA ORA, TEAM. I ACTUALLY GAVE IT A GO IN THE BREAK. A LITTLE BIT OF PRACTICE. NOT GREAT. BUT THAT IS OK, BECAUSE I AM WITH THE PAPANUI RING IS RIGHT NOW. CORNHOLE ` CAN YOU GIVE US A BASIC EXPLANATION AS TO WHAT IT IS? IT IS AN AMERICAN YARD GAME. LIKE MOST AMERICAN THINGS, IT BECOMES PROFESSIONAL. SO THERE ARE PLAYERS AROUND THE WORLD. IT IS OBVIOUSLY VERY POPULAR AT PUBS AND WHATNOT. BUT NOW YOU ARE TRYING TO GET COMPETITIVE IN NEW ZEALAND. THERE IS A WORLD CHAMPS NOW. THERE ARE ABOUT 40 COUNTRIES REPRESENTED. I THINK IT IS TIME FOR US TO LIFT OUR GAME A LITTLE BIT. WE ARE ACTUALLY OK AT IT. I AM GOING TO BRING IN JOE. YOU WERE RECENTLY IN SYDNEY COMPETING. HOW DID YOU FIND THAT? IT IS NERVE RACKING, BUT WE FEEL AT HOME. WITH THE AUSSIES. AND WE PLAYED VERY WELL. WE ARE GOING TO GIVE IT A GO. YOU SAID THERE WERE A COUPLE OF TECHNIQUES. A LOT OF DIFFERENT WAYS WE CAN DO THIS. EVERYBODY FINDS THEIR OWN WAY TO THROW IT. THERE ARE NO RIGHT OR WRONG WAY, BUT THERE ARE BETTER WAYS. YOU GENERALLY START WITH THE FLAT OF YOUR HAND. YOU WANT TO THROW FLAT. IS A BIT EARLY FOR YOU, BUT EVENTUALLY YOU WANT A BIT OF SPIN ON IT. IF IT HAS A BIT OF SPIN, AND IT TRAVELS NICELY THROUGH THE AIR, IT WILL GO WHERE YOU WANTED TO GO. WE'RE GOING TO GIVE IT A GO. IT IS QUITE LONG, ISN'T IT? HOW LONG IS IT? IT IS 28 FEET. SO 8.2 M. 27, 28 FEET. WE DON'T NORMALLY HAVE THAT MUCH DISTANCE AT THE PUB. BUT WE'RE GOING TO GIVE IT A CRACK. LIKE I SAID AT THE BEGINNING, DON'T EXPECT MUCH. BUT IT IS ALL ABOUT GIVING IT A GO. HAVE A CRACK AT THROWING THE SACK. YOU'VE GOT THE UNDERHAND TECHNIQUE. ARE THESE PLAYERS FROM THE NATIONAL BLACK SACKS TEAM? YES. THEY AREN'T OFFICIALLY CALLED THEMSELVES THE BLACK SACKS. BUT THAT IS OK. SO HOW DID YOU COME UP WITH THAT NAME? IT JUST CAME OFF THE TONGUE. WE USED TO SAY WRANGLES AND SACKS. AND SO SACK CAME FROM THERE. THERE ARE A LOT OF UNFORTUNATE NAMES IN THE SPORT. I NOT ONLY ONE OF OUR THING MYSELF. THE CAMERAMAN IS GOING TO GIVE A CRACK AS WELL. IT IS QUITE HARD. OBVIOUSLY JOE... THOSE WERE ALL MASONS SACKS, AS YOU CAN SEE. WE HAVE NOT QUITE BEEN ABLE TO MAKE THE BOARD. JOE VERY MUCH HAS A GOOD ARC IN THE THROW. THAT IS A BIT BETTER, ISN'T IT? I AM NOT TAKING A LOSS FOR AN ANSWER. SO I AM GOING TO COLLECT OUR SACKS AND KEEP GOING UNTIL I CAN GET ON THE BOARD. A BIT MORE HEIGHT, CHARLOTTE. YOU ARE GOING QUITE DIRECT AND LOW. GET A BIT MORE OF AN ARC. MANPLAINING. HE IS REALLY MANSPLAINING IT TO ME. EH! THANK YOU. WELL DONE. CLOSER THERE. NOW WE ARE UP AND RUNNING. I AM GOING TO CONTINUE TO GIVE IT A CRACK. I HAVE A FEELING IT WILL NOT ACTUALLY GO ON.

I DON'T KNOW, I REMEMBER THAT CAKE BECAUSE IT WAS MY FIRST BIG GIG, I GUESS. I WAS SO HYPED UP AFTERWARDS. IT WAS A FORMULA TO HAVE MOMENT PROBABLY. COMING BACK CARE AND BEING IN A POSITION WHERE WE'VE BEEN ASKED TO OPEN IT BACK UP. APPARENTLY BRETT MCKENZIE WAS ALSO PLAYING ON THAT STAGE AND HE IS ALSO PLAYING WITH US, SO IT IS A VERY STRANGE SCENARIO. ANOTHER FULL CIRCLE MOMENT. YOU GUYS ARE BORN AND BRED WELLINGTONIANS. YOU HAVE GONE OFF OVERSEAS, YOU HAVE DONE SOME COLLABORATIONS WITH SOME BIG INTERNATIONAL ARTISTS. ANY OF THOSE YOU CAN REVEALED WILL BE JOINING YOU A STAGE IN FEBRUARY. WE ASKED FETTY WAP, BUT HE WASN'T AVAILABLE. WE ARE JUST GETTING... NOT GOING TO REVEAL ANY NAMES FOR ME? NOT NOW. WE'RE JUST FINALISING. WHAT I WANT TO SAY SOMEONE AND THEY DON'T TURN UP. WE ALSO WANT TO MAKE IT A CELEBRATION TOO. IT'S NOT REALLY ABOUT US. IT IS ABOUT SOMETHING BIGGER THAN US. WE WANT TO TRY AND BRING LOTS OF PEOPLE WHO INFLUENCED US AS WELL POTENTIALLY. OBVIOUSLY, BRETT MCKENZIE IS GOING TO BE THERE AND PLENTY OF OTHERS. WE WANT TO BRING A LOT OF PEOPLE. THAT WILL BE COOL. THERE ARE A COUPLE OF HINTS IN THERE. THIS HAS BEEN A LONG TIME COMING FOR THE BIT IS BEEN A VERY DECORATIVE WORK. THERE'S BEEN THIS TOPIC ABOUT WHETHER THE MONEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN PUT IN. WHAT YOU GUYS THINK WHEN IT COMES TO RESERVING OLD PERFORMANCE VENUES? I THINK IT'S COOL. THE MONEY DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE TO ME, SO I HAVE NO IDEA. WE CAN'T WAIT TO PLAY IT. THAT WAY. IT DOES LOOK AMAZING. WE DON'T KNOW. THE AMOUNT OF TIME AND EFFORT THAT IT IS TAKEN TO BRING THIS BACK IS IMPORTANT FOR THE CITY, PERSONALLY. I THINK IT'S COOL. THAT IS DRAX PROJECT. THAT PERFORMING IN WELLINGTON AND THIS TOWN HALL FOR THE FIRST TIME. TICKETS AREN'T ON SALE YET BUT WHEN THEY COME ON SALE, I WILL DEFINITELY BE SECURING THE TICKET PRETTY QUICK. THANK YOU TIM. SO IMPORTANT AS WELL. IT WAS AN EYE WATERING L AMOUNT OF MONEY BUT A TOWN HALL, MUSIC VENUE AS WELL AS AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE COMMUNITY. WELLINGTON DID IT TOUGH. WOULDN'T HAVE A TOWN HALL FOR A WHILE, WE DIDN'T HAVE SOME OF OUR CINEMAS OR SHUTDOWN. WOULDN'T HAVE A LIBRARY. IT WAS BUGGERED FOR TOO LONG A TIME. AND HAPPY WELLINGTON HAS THE CIVIC CENTRE BACK. DID SOME RESEARCH AND MANAGED TO FIND FEAR THAT FRANCE HAS SCORED AGAIN. THEY ARE 2-0 UP AGAINST SENEGAL. FINISHES WITH STYLE. STRAIGHT TO THE TOP OF THE GROUP. LOOKS LIKE THEY'RE GOING TO ROUND THIS OUT FINISHING IN ABOUT 4 MINUTES TIME. 2-1 IN FACT. SENEGAL HAVE JUST SCORED. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR JOINING US THIS MORNING. WHEN YOUR NEXT BIG FOOTBALL SPECIAL? NOT TILL SUNDAY. I WILL BE BACK ON BREAKFAST BEFORE THEN. WE HAVE SEEN SOME FANTASTIC COLLECTIONS FROM ALL OVER THE PLACE. GOOD LUCK TO THE GUY WHO HAS ALL THOSE BEERS. THAT WILL TAKE A WHILE TO FINISH ALL OF THOSE. 48 OF THEM. NOT IN ONE SITTING. CAPTIONS BY EMILIA SULLIVAN, RUBY SAGARIN, COURTNEY SOLE, AND BEN REX.
