Now firstly, we gotta send a quick shout out to Fiji for beating Aussie 22-15 at the Rugby World Cup earlier this week; the first win for Fiji against the Kangaroos since 1954. Tino rawe. Now, in the U.S., police used a stun gun on an Alabama high school band director after he refused to tell his band to stop playing at a football game. Yes, that's right. Police ordered the band to stop playing while they cleared the stadium, but when the band director ignored their orders, they stun-gunned him in front of his students. Aue! Back here in Aotearoa, many people in Canterbury were sent running for doorways this week when a large and long earthquake hit north of Geraldine on Wednesday morning. The magnitude-six shake was centred in a fairly unpopulated area and didn't cause any significant damage, luckily. One local near the epicentre says the quake went on for about 30 seconds, and she feared it was the alpine fault going off. Footballer Rylee Foster has made an amazing comeback, signing for the Wellington Phoenix two years after almost dying in a car crash. - There's a new beginning here, and I'm ready to bring this new version of myself and potentially the best version of myself as a person and a player to this club and to this environment. - Kia ora. And in Tamaki Makaurau, another person making a great recovery is 14-year-old Kaden O'Neill, who was hit by a car in January and almost died. He and his dad hope others can learn from his situation. - Because of the accident, I feel like I sh― I should... raise awareness of... like, looking... at the road... before you cross. (DRAMATIC MUSIC) - This week in 2011, two words and a guy called Levi Hawken were about to go viral. - Left my scooter outside the dairy. Nek minnit... (LAUGHTER) - It was just a joke that was spontaneous and organic. - Nek minnit... (LAUGHS) - You just don't want to be a broken record. It's like, people keep coming up, and you got to, like, explain. They want― they expect you to tell you the story of what happened. And, you know, that's like... you know, Google it. - What most people didn't know, though, is that Levi is a skater and an artist. - I just kept focusing on making art and skateboarding. I evolved from paintings into sculpture. So I went back to landscaping, and started making things out of concrete, and it's been an awesome ride, so I'm just doing that full-time now. (METAL CLANGS) Nek minnit. People were yelling it at me, and I'm like― cos I just forget about it, you know? I'm like, I'm living my life and getting on with it. - AI VOICE: 'Artificial intelligence is evolving so quickly. 'AI-generated fake videos are becoming more common and even more convincing. 'Check this out.' (UPBEAT MUSIC) - Welcome to the world of deepfakes, where nothing you see is real, even if it looks like it is. But what is a deepfake? A deepfake refers to a photo or video where the faces have been swapped or digitally altered using artificial intelligence, or AI, creating fake images that appear to show someone saying something or doing something they never actually said or did. So how are deepfakes dangerous? Well, in the wrong hands, deepfakes can be used to cause distress and harm. They have been used in cases of cyber-bullying to deliberately mock, taunt or inflict public embarrassment on victims. Deepfakes can be used to create incriminating, embarrassing or suggestive material. Some deepfakes are so well done that it becomes difficult to tell if it's real or not. Here's a couple of ways to spot a deepfake. Glitches. There are usually signs if you look closely at the video itself. Is there rippling, pixelation or blurring around the face, the neck, eyes or mouth? This may be way more obvious when the person in the video moves. Audio. Look closely to see if the lip movements match the words you are hearing. Often the people in deep fakes have mouth movements that don't quite look normal. And most importantly, be aware. Not everything you see and hear online is real. If you suspect it's fake, the chances are it probably is. And lastly, a bit of a stink one ― A Kiwi couple have finally succeeded in getting a refund for the extra money they paid for premium economy seats on a Singapore Airlines flight after they were seated next to a rather gassy bulldog. The bulldog, who will remain nameless, was a nervous flyer, and this had a direct effect on his guts, with the poor little guy releasing his own fragrance into the atmosphere. Unfortunately, the stink from this sustained bout of bottom burps overwhelmed the Kiwi couple, who kicked up their own stink, with the airline issuing a refund in the end. Well, that's us for this week. Now the Warriors take on the Broncos tomorrow, so up the Wahs! Now In Case You Missed It will be back next Friday. Enjoy your weekend.
