Due to the live nature of Te Karere, some segments will not be subtitled. 09 January 2012 It's nothing new, but Rena's effects have been found on new shores. Te Karere reports from Tauranga with the latest news. As we go to air, the wreckage of the crash-site in Taratahi is being cleared. The tremors in Christchurch continue how are the residents faring in the new year? And the weather. Tena koutou katoa, and welcome to Te Karere. Law officials are more cautious of the Rena now that it has broken in two in Tauranga. The media presser has just finished. Let's see what emerged. A whole world of trouble has washed up on beaches Waihi Beach was one of the first places to feel the effects of the Rena today. Due to this, a ban has been set in place in the area. The ship is grounded 60ks North of Waihi Beach. Ngahuia Wade was there today. Reon Tuanau was born and bred at Waihi beach, this devastation he's never seen before. I'm looking out around my beach and my heart just sinks. I remember all my old people and what we did on this beach. Tuanau is one of the Maori Liaison Officers. For him, this is personal. Five containers, dead birds, oil and debris all washed up overnight on these pristine shores. About 300 bags have washed up here as a result of Rena, filled with dried milk powder but they have not rotted yet. When Te Karere was on the beach we saw a tug boat trying to round up containers and two floating containers nearly ashore. The container we got close to was streaked with oil. At this time, we are looking at the plan to attack this devastation and to get our people down here. We hope to have teams here by this evening. They're expecting this clean up to take all week, but who knows. Just offshore we can see debris and its making its way here. Locals watched in horror knowing that the worst is yet to come. Ngahuia Wade, Te Karere. We've recently heard that regardless of support from local Maori, they've been left out of the cleaning process. Braemar Howell has been given the task to manage and remove debris. Braemar Howell has been given the task to manage and remove debris. We'll now cross live to Willie Te Aho.

After the break, The tremors continue in Christchurch - how are the residents faring? And we visit Auckland Zoo to see the 'Wao Nui a Tane' exhibit. Today, some of Christchurch's residents returned to work. But as Rapaera Tawhai reports, Ruaumoko continues to make his presence known. We will cross live to speak to Rapaera, but first, here's his report. Christchurch is still the same this New Year as people return to work. We, the management team have come together today to discuss other options. No one is allowed into the buildings until an inspector has checked it off, but there is a saying - when one door closes, another opens. This descendant of Ngai Tahu will work here until she returns to her main office. Until it's fixed, we are here trying to find other options. It has almost been a year since the earthquake that shook those here in Christchurch, especially this family. She is confident that her hometown will be fine. I would be a liar if I didn't admit that I get scared sometimes. But I look at my kids and they seem fine, so everything is fine.

Tania Martin says Te Kauhanganui has new rules and a newly elected membership with a focus on consolidating their governance with a number of constitutional and structural changes. Elections will be held on 12 February for new officers of Te Kauhanganui, and a new executive committee. Auckland Zoo has just opened it's newest attraction for native animals. But it's not just animals that are on show. Te Hemara Rauhihi reports. This is where people come to visit animals from all over the world. Today, our own native animals are on display. There are six native habitats throughout the Zoo and a carving is situated in each region. Each carving tells a story about the various types of native animals. The purpose of this project is to educate visitors about NZ native life and the realm of Tane Mahuta, the forest guardian. But the habitat isn't just a place for people to visit. The habitat gives people the opportunity to view endangered animals and provides visitors with an insight into the cultural aspect of New Zealand wildlife. Te Hemara Rauhihi, Te Karere. After the break, a young tennis star on the rise and your weather. A Maori Tennis star is on the rise. Along with his doubles partner, they've took out Along with his doubles partner, they've taken out the NZ under 14's doubles competition. This athlete affiliates to the tribes of Tuhoe, Maniapoto, Whakatohea and Ngai Tai in Torere. In tennis circles he's known as Thunder. The strength of his hit is the reason why. In the doubles finals Rawhiti Williams and his partner played the first and second ranked players of the tournament. His doubles partner is Cameron Philpot he's ranked third in the tournament and Rawhiti is ranked seventh, so we're expecting a great competition. And that's what was seen on the court. Because the game got tough, they went into a tie breaker. The key to playing doubles is to play by the net. It paid off Rawhiti and his partner won. In the singles, Rawhiti was ranked fifth and he played against Eru Lyndon in the quarter finals at the Maori Tennis tournament but he wasn't successful. He was happy he got to play 6 games, and Eru said all he needs to do is believe in himself and his game. Now he'll prepare for the under 16's tournament and he's eligible because he just turned 14 on Friday. This year he will play rugby at school, but tennis will always be his heart.
