Television New Zealand's hour-long weekly current affairs programme presenting mini-documentaries on topical local issues.

  • 1Black Power A special satellite report on the political crisis in South Africa. Last weekend, President Botha declared a state of emergency in South Africa, the first in twenty-five years. While the White community laments the cancellation of the All Black rugby tour, South Africa as a whole is now more concerned about the political upheaval. A report on the bloodshed and the reasons behind it.

  • 2Courting Rugby South Africa's political emergency has rebounded in New Zealand. Earlier this week, the All Blacks called off a planned rebel tour of South Africa after the official tour was cancelled. Justice Casey's landmark ruling imposing an injunction on the All Black team to prevent them travelling to South Africa, predictably caused upheaval in rugby circles. Initial reaction resulted in threats to the Auckland lawyers who pursued the court case. Attention is now focussing inwards, on the game itself. What is the future of rugby?
