Heavy rain and strong winds for some places today, as forecast. And there's more to come. Later in the bulletin I'll tell you where the wet and windy weather is heading, also where there could be hail and snow to low levels tomorrow. Right now, it's 6 o'clock. Due to the live nature of ONE News we apologise for the lack of captions for some items. This is ONE News with Peter Williams and Bernadine Oliver-Kerby. Tonight ` not the pick of the crop. Tons of kiwifruit left to rot after desperate growers inject vines with antibiotics. Meet the government commissioner who went undercover in a rest home to expose what she calls modern-day slavery. The scandal over embarrassing leaks at the Vatican. Did the butler do it? And it's more than all right for the All Whites in Texas. And what a goal! That is textbook stuff from NZ. Kia ora, good evening. A major kiwifruit grower is among a large group banned from selling their crops because they've been injecting their vines with antibiotics. The Ministry of Primary Industries says the practice is illegal. But Te Puke grower Michael Montgomery's admitted to ONE News that he knowingly used injections in a bid to save his plants from the vine-killing bacteria PSA. Heather du Plessis-Allan uncovered this story and joins us live. Heather. WE HEARD RUMOURS OF THESE INOCULATIONS WEEKS AGO AND BEGAN MAKING INQUIRIES. IT TURNED OUT THE INJECTION OF KIWIFRUIT VINES IS WELL KNOWN ABOUT IN THE KIWIFRUIT INDUSTRY AND WAS BEING PRACTICED BY INDUSTRY LEADERS. This is one of a number of kiwifruit orchards jointly owned by Te Puke grower Michael Montgomery. He's a well-known industry leader. We filmed rows of his kiwifruit still hanging on the vine, unpicked because it's contaminated with antibiotics. We went to his workplace looking for an interview. He wasn't prepared to talk. Would you like to explain why you did something that you knew was wrong? No, no. Look, we sought legal advice on this and we're not going to talk about it publicly. Michael Montgomery's vines have PSA ` a bacteria that spreads through plants and rots them, much like gangrene in humans. The bacteria's been killing vines across the Te Puke region, at last count costing the industry nearly $900m. In a bid to save his plants, Michael Montgomery admitted to ONE News he injected the antibiotic directly into 17ha of kiwifruit vines. He told us he accepts that was illegal. We asked kiwifruit exporter Zespri how that works. They told us there are two ways. In the first, growers drill holes into the trunks of kiwifruit plants then push capsules of antibiotics in and stopper the wounds. The second method is through a syringe into the trunk, hooked up to a bag of antibiotics much like an IV sac. Michael Montgomery is not alone. After ONE News began investigating, we were told as many as 50 growers broke the rules. We were surprised when we first heard about it, but you know, you can't make the decisions for every grower out there. They were under an enormous amount of pressure. We've had to deal with the aftermath. At the height of the PSA outbreak, under very strict rules growers were allowed to briefly spray a diluted form of the antibiotic streptomycin on to vines before fruit formed. They were never allowed to inject vines because it's feared that allowing antibiotics in the food chain will eventually cause humans to form immunity to the medicines. As a grower, that shows you the desperation that's out there. Now, as leaders of the industry, I think it's disgraceful. By law any fruit as contaminated as Michael Montgomery's can't be sold in NZ and definitely can't be exported. Officials and growers we've spoken to are desperate to avoid spooking consumers and authorities in offshore markets. In a worst case scenario, an industry insider told ONE News, if any contaminated fruit did reach nervous markets, they would probably block all our horticultural products, not just kiwifruit. Zespri says that's not going to happen. It says its tests are robust, because after it became aware of the injections it resorted to testing all orchards before taking the fruit. I can give an absolute assurance that no fruit will go on the market either in NZ or internationally showing any residues whatsoever to antibiotics. A number of growers, including Michael Montgomery, asked for permission to export their contaminated fruit or sell it in NZ. We understand government officials spent weeks on the case before finally deciding this fruit is going nowhere. THE MINISTER TOLD US GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS ARE STILL DECIDING WHAT ACTION TO TAKE AGAINST GROWERS WHO'VE BROKEN THE LAW. ACCORDING TO THE LEGISLATION, IF PROSECUTED, THEY FACE JAIL TERMS OF UP TO TWO YEARS AND/OR FINES OF UP TO $30,000. CORPORATIONS WHO'VE BROKEN THE LAW FACE FINES OF $150,000. Thanks, Heather du Plessis-Allan in Wellington. So how widely is the antibiotic streptomycin used on our crops, and why are authorities around the world so strict about its use? Renee Graham has more. Dr Nikki Turner is a Wellington GP wary of prescribing antibiotics. She says if they're overused bugs and germs can become resistant to them. And then we don't have any antibiotics to treat some of our most nasty infections, and we're getting real problems with multi-drug-resistant TB around the world, and quite a few other nasty infections. The antibiotic streptomycin has been used as a pesticide spray in NZ since the 1960s. From apples and pears for fireblight, to tomatoes and kiwifruit for bacterial diseases. Its use is restricted, and it can only be used in a controlled manner. Its commercial supplier in NZ says there should be no detectable residues if the right dosage is applied correctly. If you sprayed a plant when it's in its flowering stage, and the fruit is the bit of the plant that we eat, then by the time the fruit is produced I'm almost certain that the streptomycin would have disappeared. The company that supplies it says: and the Food Standards Authority tests found streptomycin presented a negligible increased risk to consumers. To develop resistance to streptomycin you'd have to have a low dose for a very long period of time, because the bacteria need to be exposed to it over and over and over again. But its use is controversial. The European Union will ban imported fruit if any traces of this or any other antibiotics are found. The only slight worry in my mind ` and this is quite rare ` is that some people are allergic to streptomycin. So if they got a very low dose of streptomycin, the could develop the symptoms of allergy associated with it. Scientists in NZ are currently developing an alternative pesticide for PSA. Renee Graham, ONE News. Trail bike riders at a charity event made a gruesome discovery this afternoon in a remote part of the Waitaki Valley near Waimate. The bodies of a man and a woman were found on the track. There are reports that one had a cut to the throat. The area is popular with hunters. The bike event was called off, and police are now at the remote location. The United Nations is calling for immediate international action against Syria after the slaughter of almost 100 people, a third of them children under the age of 10. Syrian troops are being blamed for the attack on the town of Houla, which the UN has described as a flagrant and criminal violation of international law. The BBC's Humphrey Hawkesley reports. The people of Houla bring UN monitors to see the dead. They hear the individual stories. First came the shelling, then in the evening the attackers came in and shot men in the streets and stabbed women and children in their homes. They wanted photographs taken, the tragedy recorded. One witness said the real target were the children. Syrian television didn't deny the violence ` it showed graphically gruesome pictures ` but blamed terrorist gangs who wanted to prompt foreign intervention. It's unforgivable. The death of 32 young children ` the future of Syria, the future of Syria ` is something that is absolutely deplorable. The rebel Free Syrian Army said they had been adhering to the ceasefire, only fighting to defend their communities. Now tonight, unless there's urgent internationa help, they say they could no longer commit to that. Kofi Annan had negotiated a peace plan with the Syrian leader that started more than six weeks ago. But even on its first day, April 12, violence broke out and it hasn't let up. In Damascus and elsewhere they were brave enough to protest against the massacre, and in Houla they dug a mass grave, the young and the old, a Syrian community where entire families, parents and children, were murdered. The UN says at least 10,000 people have been killed since the uprising began in March last year. Modern-day slavery. That's the verdict on this country's elderly care industry from the Human Rights Commission. It's released a hard hitting report after sending a commissioner to work undercover in a rest home. Daniel Faitaua reports. Going undercover to uncover the country's aged-care industry. This is the woman behind a year-long investigation ` Human Rights Equal Employment Commissioner Dr Judy McGregor. I found that despite the fact it was skilled work, it was physically exhausting. I was emotionally wrung out by the end of the day. Her first-hand accounts detailed in a hard-hitting report released today. We're certainly exploiting emotionally their emotional goodwill, so it is a form, I think, of modern-day slavery. The report contains evidence from nearly 900 caregivers, mostly women. Dr McGregor says they're undervalued and underpaid. The report says people who work in private rest homes earn around the minimum wage. It also recommends raising the pay level to those in the public sector, and that's been warmly welcomed by this caregiver of 18 years. We don't just wipe bottoms. We're there when they got lots of medical issues. We need to deal with their behaviours. It comes after unions expressed concerns about private rest home profits, claiming they come at the expense of workers. I know it's not popular with the unions. They like to see that no one gets a profit. Well, the reality is we live in a market-based economy. If they don't like that, then there's nothing they can do about it. The report also makes a number of recommendations, including a five star rating system for rest home care and mileage payments for home-based caregivers to get and from their clients. The government won't commit to any more pay. We've spent, or are spending $1.4 billion on the aged care sector, and that's been going up around 4% since we came into government in 2008. It is a hard job for what we do, and we need to be recognised for what we do. A recognition she says 50,000 care workers have been fighting for for years. Daniel Faitaua, ONE News. Two employers may be blacklisted from hiring immigrants if the Department of Labour upholds allegations that they paid workers below the minimum wage. The claims, made last night on ONE News, have prompted others to come forward with similar complaints. Amy Kelley has more. Our story about immigrants being overworked and underpaid... He told me that they give me $8 per hour. ...has prompted others to contact us, claiming they too are caught up in a black cash economy, earning below the minimum wage of $13.50 an hour. I am working in an Indian restaurant in Auckland, and I am getting only $6.50 per hour. It is very depressing. The Department of Labour says it investigated more than 2000 similar complaints last year. They couldn't tell us how many were upheld. In some cases, there's not enough information to base the allegations on, so in some cases there would be no resolution. Where there is enough evidence against an employer, they're made to pay arrears. In the most serious cases, they can be fined up to $20,000, and if they're repeat offenders, they can be blacklisted against employing more migrants. But according to one employment lawyer, the department's too slow to act. He advised these workers to file a complaint about their liquor store boss more than five months ago. The Department's still investigating, and no charges have been laid. Right now, these guys are hearing that this employer's bragging that he's untouchable and he can do what he likes. What signal does that put out there to our employers? Exploitation doesn't end with illegal pay rates. The Department of Labour's confirmed some employers are making migrants buy their jobs. They might in some cases pay a so-called employer anything up to $50,000. Some say without changes to labour and immigration laws, the system will continue be abused. Amy Kelley, ONE News. Still to come on ONE News, a spate of arsons in Christchurch. The Pope's butler is arrested for leaking Vatican documents. A tandem skydive from Hell ` why an 80-year-old's birthday jump has launched a federal investigation. And from dancing Russian grannies to a blindfolded singer; it must be Eurovision time. Find out the winner. Christchurch locals and the fire service are calling for abandoned Red Zone houses to be demolished after eight suspicious fires over the weekend. Police believe either arsonists or vagrants could be at fault in some cases. Joy Reid has more. Another Saturday night and another arson attack in Pines Beach. It's not good, cos someone's gonna get hurt soon. The house was damaged by the quakes,... CRASH! ...but it was fire that finished it off. I think it's somebody wanting to set fire to a place and burn it down, more so than kids just playing. It's a bit late at night for kids. This is the third arson in an unoccupied property in Pines Beach in just the past few weeks, and locals have had enough. These fires are getting worse and worse. These houses really should be bulldozed down, you know. They've all been settled out. CERA should, you know, take control of an action and put the bulldozer in, so we won't have the fires. It needs to happen very soon, because someone's going to die. Fires roared in other parts of Canterbury overnight. This morning, investigator Graham Davies was trying to determine the cause of one in yet another abandoned house in central Christchurch. It's been treated as suspicious. The Hereford St home was set alight twice yesterday in separate attacks. Could this be a vagrant issue? That is one possibility, yes. < So does it appear that people have been living in the house? That would be a fair assumption. On Friday night a New Brighton shop was lost to fire, and with so many arsons, there's concern for firefighters' safety. Because some of these unoccupied houses are now being used by, um, people to squat in, we have to make sure that there's nobody in there. And it is putting firefighters' lives at risk. Police won't speculate as to whether the fires are linked, but are warning people to keep an eye out for suspicious activity. Joy Reid, ONE News. You'll have heard the phrase 'the butler did it'. Now it's become a reality for the Pope. His personal assistant has been arrested in an embarrassing scandal which has prompted a huge investigation at the Vatican. Paolo Gabriele's been charged with leaking secret documents, including confidential letters. ABC's Jeffery Coffman explains. It is the papal punchline that is rocking the Vatican ` the butler did it. His name ` Paulo Gabriele. That's him pouring wine for Benedict XVI, and that's him sitting in the front seat of the Pope Mobile, literally at the Pope's right hand, where he always is. He dresses the Pope, travels everywhere with the Pope and now he is accused of betraying the Pope. That he could be involved, uh, in what most people would see as one of the most significant acts of betrayal in recent Vatican history, uh, obviously is going to be a source of particular concern for the Pope and for the Vatican. Vatican investigators say they've found a stash of stolen papal correspondence in Gabriele's home. That, they believe, proves he is the source of a flood of leaks to Italian newspapers that have embarrassed the Pope and exposed a poisonous atmosphere behind the ancient walls of the Vatican. They include searing allegations of corruption and cronyism at the Vatican Bank; a bizarre plot to kill the Pope, allegedly by a Cardinal hoping to succeed him; and a nasty power struggle between Vatican reformers and those who want nothing to change. The Pope is not in the habit of commenting on scandal, but he did today, in his own way, defiantly quoting the bible in Italian about the wise man who built his house on a rock. There's no jail in the Vatican, where the butler's being held. If convicted he could spend up to 30 years in an Italian jail. It could have been a story to celebrate ` an 80-ear-old woman going for a tandem skydive in the United States. Instead, her jump turned into a nightmare and a federal investigation's been launched. The ABC's Clayton Sandell explains. Laverne Everett's 80th birthday was almost her last. Are you excited to go skydiving? > Are you excited to go skydiving? > I'm real excited. Who's idea was all this? > Who's idea was all this? > Mine. Last May she celebrated by jumping out of an aeroplane near Sacramento, California, hesitating before her instructor pried her hands free. But then a major problem. Laverne's harness is too loose. She dangles precariously, her instructor desperately hanging on as they plummet at 125m/h. She spoke to TV station KOVR. I just held on. (CHUCKLES) You do what you have to` I gotta do, you know. Finally, the instructor manages to deploy the chute. They touch down... Oh my God! ...shaken but unhurt. This video posted online this week is going viral. In a statement, the skydiving company owner said: The FAA isn't so sure. An investigator went to question the Parachute Centre on Friday. It's not the first time the company has been in trouble, racking up... Meanwhile, skydiving experts say this is extremely rare. The vast majority of tandem jumps in the US are done safely by-by expert skydiving instructors. As for Laverne, this near disaster birthday skydive hasn't slowed the octogenarian adrenalin junkie. She says her next adventure will be driving a race car. Laverne Everett doesn't own a computer and says she's overwhelmed by the hundreds of thousands of hits on her video. Weather time now. Still wet and windy in some places tonight, Karen? We've got a very active trough over us at the moment. Heavy falls in the west of the South Island ` nearly 140mm at Mt Cook village. We're expecting a few more heavy falls about the Westland ranges and headwaters tonight. Still very windy in these areas, easing back later this evening. Watch for snow, sleet or hail on these roads tomorrow, starting around midnight tonight on the Milford road. Warm in the east of the South Island tonight ` the Foehn effect of the wind streaming over the Main Divide. For weather, see tvnz.co.NZ I'll have your Monday forecast and a look at how the rest of the week is shaping up after sport. Up next on ONE News, the power of the blueberry. New Kiwi research reveals more of the fruit's healing qualities. And from the beautiful to the bizarre at this year's Eurovision. You don't want to miss this one. Budding Olympians, listen up. Blueberries have long been called a superfood, but now the fruit's been given even more of a plug after new Kiwi research shows it could be useful for athletes. Sarah Batley explains. Blood, sweat and tears ` the sacrifice for those pushing their bodies to the very limit. Now their efforts to bounce back faster could be boosted by some fruitful research. If a person was to undertake strenuous exercise and ingest some blueberries around that strenuous exercise, the normal recovery processes appeared to be accelerated. 10 women were tested as part of a joint project between Massey University and Plant & Food Research. They were given these blueberries ` grown in Northland ` before, during and after a particularly tough workout. It's a NZ blueberry product, and we're the only ones that have got that. Um, so I'd like to think that it can, in the first instance, benefit our athletes. Shoppers pay a premium for blueberries because their health benefits are widely known. But scientists say their findings around muscle development are a world first. But why are these tiny berries such a big help? Blueberry aids defensive processes in muscle tissue, potentially. So it's activating normal defence processes that occur in damaged tissue, um, that lead to that recovery benefit. And the advantages could go well beyond the bounds of sport. Those behind the study say they were surprised by the findings and plan on conducting it again in more depth and with more participants. Sarah Batley, ONE News. After three gruelling days of competition, a West Coast vet's been named this year's top young farmer. Michael Lilley (26) battled through a range of technical, practical and general knowledge challenges to take the title. Mr Lilley, who was a returning grand finalist, took home $70,000 in prizes. Not nearly as gruelling, except perhaps to watch, was the Eurovision Song Contest which saw Sweden take out top spot. Once again it was an evening of diversity and the plain bizarre, this time held in the Azerbaijan capital of Baku. The BBC's Steve Rosenberg has the highlights and lowlights. It was a spectacular start to this year's Eurovision. Fireworks over the Caspian and feverish folk dancing on the Eurovision stage. Then the stadium, Baku's Crystal Hall, became a giant Union Jack. And flying the flag was Englebert. # So graceful and pure, a smile bathed in light # The 76-year-old king of romance put heart and soul into his song, Love Will Set You Free. He had with him his lucky charm ` a pendant that Elvis Presley had given him. # Her face with her beauty, no reason can say # ETHNO-TRANCE MUSIC Russia's song, and singers, couldn't have been more different. The Buranovo Grannies sang Party For Everybody, and managed to cook dinner at the same time. There were blindfolds, bagpipes, boats, and is that a snake on her head? Irish twins Jedward made a real splash. When the votes came in, there were hardly any for Engelbert ` another UK Eurovision disaster. Sweden scored most, the pre-contest favourite Loreen triumphed with her song Euphoria. # Euphoria, forever, till the end of time... # Sweden's won the talent show five times since it first entered in 1958. This victory gives it the right to host next year's competition. Looking at our top stories tonight ` the government's still deciding what action to take with up to 50 kiwifruit growers who've been injecting their vines with antibiotics to avoid the PSA bacteria. The Ministry of Primary Industries says the practices is illegal. The government says it'll carefully consider a report that compares the country's aged care sector to modern-day slavery. The Human Rights Commission's calling for better work conditions after an undercover investigation found staff were undervalued and underpaid. Andrew's here with sport and an All Blacks lifeline for two veterans. More from Steve Hansen and co next, as the second camp gets underway. Also tonight ` a crunchy 24 hours of Super Rugby. The 'Canes sent out a triple warning for the coming weeks. Plus ` the one that got away tastes more success in England. And could the impressive young All Whites claim victory in Texas? Highlanders winger Hosea Gear and Chiefs hooker Hika Elliot have been called into the All Blacks' training camp in Wellington. For Gear, it was an up-front conversation with brother Rico that kept his Test dreams alive. Mark Hathaway reports. Stepping back up to the All Blacks after standing out for the Highlanders last night. Hosea Gear into the corner! Try scored. The selectors ` with a choice to replace injured Corey Jane ` go with the utility value of Andre Taylor, or stick with a specialist winger? For us, it was a specialist winger. And the specialist winger might have been winging his way to Japan had it not been for a conversation with brother Rico, also a former All Black. He asked the question to me, 'Am I satisfied with what I've achieved in the All Blacks jersey?' So` And the answer was no. While he never said 'no way, Hosea' about going to Japan, Rico's words did keep his little brother swimming with the big fish. You know, cos I'd pretty much sorted myself. I was ready to go, and again it was just feedback from him about his time in the All Blacks. Another with another shot at the black jersey is Chiefs hooker Hika Elliot, relieved to be back in the frame since first being picked in 2008. It's been a long time, mate, so to be back in this environment is pretty cool, and, you know, I'll take it with open arms. Hansen says Keven Mealamu is likely to play at some point in the Irish series, but there is a degree of doubt with his calf injury. Another with a question mark is Piri Weepu, who has until the end of this camp to meet weight targets. At this stage, he's on track, and we'll see on Tuesday if he's met them or not. Have you been happy with his progress? > Yeah, he's working really hard. Hansen's left with some tough decisions in order to cut the current pool of players by five in a week's time. Mark Hathaway, ONE News. Hosea Gear celebrated his All Blacks reintroduction with a strong performance for the Highlanders against the Blues last night at Eden Park, as the southern men kept in touch with the Super rugby playoff hopefuls. It used to be Blues teams who pounced before and after half-time. Not any more. Fires it back infield to Hosea Gear... and second try to the Highlanders. A clinical finish from Josea Gear before the break, then fellow All Black hopeful Ben Smith waltzed through soon after. And he's run hard at them. He's run straight through. Back infield to Hosea Gear! Into the corner! The third leg of the treble? The Blues played their part in finishing themselves off. They even bewildered themselves, and Adam Thomson, who plucked a cherry after a strong night. The Blues did at least show some fight later on. Went through, smuggles it away to Tony Woodcock! But they couldn't steal an unlikely draw. A stout finish from the Highlanders, winning 27-20. The Hurricanes have kept in touch with the high-flyers, launching a nine-try scoring spree in Wellington. Here is Savea! Julian Savea forcing his Test claims with three tries. 66-24. Beauden Barrett ` 10 kicks from 10. Wide again for Taylor. Taylor pushing and shoving. We saw the full range of 'Cane skills, from the twinkle toes to the double wrecking ball reserve hooker Motu Matu'u. Here comes the big hit. CROWD GASPS The 'Canes sent a strong warning to their next Aussie opponents, the Waratahs. The resurgent Queensland Reds' form has carried on, this time in Canberra. And the kick ahead of the chase is on. Needs the bounce. Or does he? Wallaby-in-waiting Luke Morahan didn't, and he looked like leading the Reds to a massive win. But in the end the result came down to a last-play penalty. He's missed it. 13-12 to the Reds, but issues for them and the Wallabies ` Test captain James Horwill suffering a serious hamstring injury. To the standings ` the Chiefs remain top of the NZ conference. The Highlanders are a couple of points adrift of the Crusaders, who had a bye this weekend. Overall, the Chiefs are back at the top. The Stormers, Brumbies and Bulls all picked up a bonus point despite their losses. The Sharks are back in the hunt after their 25-20 upset win over the Stormers. Former All Black Nick Evans has helped Harlequins win the English rugby premiership. On a balmy afternoon at Twickenham, Harlequins had a one-point lead over Leicester at the break, thanks mainly to Evans' boot. The 'Quins stretched out to a 17-point lead in the second spell, after their second try. After being named player of the year earlier this week, Evans was in fine form again, kicking 20 points in the 30-23 win. It's Harlequins first ever premiership title. In the NRL, Parramatta finally put on a performance coach Stephen Kearney could be proud of. Eels five-eighth Casey McGuire crossed the St George line after just two minutes. Parramatta was out to a 12-4 lead by the end of the half. Sets it up for Ryan close to the line. And they'll send over Ryan with points on the end. The Dragons hit back after the break, clinching the match just minutes from time. Parramatta went down 14-12 despite a much-improved effort. In Newcastle, Gold Coast's State of Origin stars backed up to embarrass the Knights. Greg Bird and Nate Myles both scored tries. It won't matter, because Greg Bird has cut them open as easily as you would like. Newcastle coach Wayne Bennett was embarrassed by the Knights' 24-14 loss to the lowly Titans. And the lowly ranked Panthers have ruined Manly's weekend. Lachlan Coote ran in the first of Penrith's four tries. Manly got one back, but when Geoff Daniella finished off this move, it was as good as over. The Panthers stunned the premiers 22-4. Benji Marshall's Tigers also chased the upset against the Cowboys. Lote Tuqiri gave Wests the lead at the break. Lote Tuqiri like a thief in the night, and a juggler goes over the line to score right on half time. The young All Whites have backed up with their second international friendly in the space of three days. Today it was Honduras in Texas. So could they claim victory after their impressive draw against El Salvador? Martin Tasker's here with the answer. Ranked 62nd compared with NZ's 130, Honduras might have been expected to be the more potent threat. But it was the All Whites mounting the first credible attack through Leo Bertos, coming on as a substitute for the injured Ian Hogg. That's clever from Bertos. Bertos was again prominent on the right as the All Whites pressed up. It's a handy ball played in. Honduras too finally woke up... ...closest they've come to something on goal. Heading for halftime, the game seemed to be just meandering along. The All Whites moved the ball down the left for a change, and what a pay-off. Handy cross too, and it's a wonderful chance, and what a goal! Shane Smelz just does not miss. Perhaps subjected to some harsh words during the break, Honduras came out firing. A Diego Maradona-style handball earned Carlo Costly a yellow card. Over Mark Paston, blatant as you like. Yet it was the All Whites creating the best chances. Great chance, and couldn't quite get the volley on goal. Sensing the wrong end of an upset, the Hondurans began pushing harder,... Oh, it's off the post! ...but again it was the All Whites threatening. Just got under his feet. In the closing stages, the woodwork was again a saviour. Again, it's come off the post. The All Whites hung on for their first win in two years. Martin Tasker, ONE News. England has launched the Roy Hodgson era with a solid 1-0 victory away in Norway. The new coach was appointed with little time to prepare for next month's Euro 2012 tournament, but Man United's Ashley Young soon embarrassed Norwegian captain Brede Hangerland on his way to finding the net. CROWD ROARS England were missing their Chelsea players. They have a final warm-up match against Belgium on Wednesday night. NZ will now be sending a full three-woman team of triathletes to the London Olympics. Nicky Samuels, back in action just a month after appendix surgery, finished 15th in a World Series event in Madrid to qualify alongside Kate McIlroy and Andrea Hewitt. The Kiwi number one was not at her best in Spain. Andrea Hewitt looking a little tired at the moment. Hewitt's back in 13th spot. London is Hewitt's real focus though, with ninth place here moving her to second in the women's world rankings. Day two of the second Test between England and the West Indies turned out to be captain's day at Trent Bridge. Windies skipper Darren Sammy was the first to knock up a century ` his first in Test cricket, achieved somewhat unconvincingly but much to his delight. Go Sammy! Brilliant smile. Sammy's ton was part of a record 7th-wicket stand of 204 with fellow century-maker Marlon Samuels, helping set England a target of 370. Andrew Strauss led the response. Flicks it away, that will do. Two hundreds in two Test matches from Andrew Strauss. The England skipper was well-supported by Kevin Pietersen, who hoisted his first ball for six on the way to 72 not out at stumps, with England 259/2. To Formula One, and Michael Schumacher has turned back the clock to qualify fastest for the Monaco Grand Prix. But the Schu missed out, dropping five places thanks to a penalty held over from the last grand prix... not that it bothered him. To manage pole position here after, sort of, what I have gone through in the last two and half years, it's just fabulous. red Bull's Mark Webber inherited the top slot, with Nico Rosberg also on the front row.. while Sergio Perez had a run-in with the wall. Schumacher's yet to make a podium since his comeback. The famous race itself is later tonight. A tangle with a turtle has cost Team NZ time in the Volvo Ocean Race. With Camper slowing inexplicably, the crew suspected something was caught on the keel and checked through the endoscope. Looks like a reasonable-sized turtle is` is stuck on our keel right at the minute. Have to do a back down. The yacht sailed backwards to free the creature, before resuming the race to Lisbon, Portugal, in third place. Thanks. That's sport. After the break, Karen has some snow and hail in the forecast. And we'll meet this week's Good Sort ` an Orewa woman who loves giving people a helping hand. Got a nasty big trough moving over the country packing heavy rain and gales. And there's a wintry sting for southern parts tomorrow. Some more heavy falls are possible over the next couple of hours or so about the Westland ranges and Canterbury headwaters. There's a watch in place for heavy rain about the eastern Bay of Plenty ranges tomorrow. And there could still be damaging severe gale gusts in these areas until later on tonight. And a heads-up tonight for some snow to low levels in the far south tomorrow, as a cold south-west flow takes hold. Snow down to 300m. Hail and sleet could affect the higher roads and passes. There's a road snowfall warning in place for the Milford Rd and Lindis Pass. Messy skies with the complex trough moving over us. Frontal cloud moving onto the North Island. And over the lower South Island, more bands of frontal cloud and lines of beefy showers sweeping up from the South Tasman ` very cold air in here. You can tell from the honeycomb appearance of the cloud. The strong northerly ahead of this front pushes over the North Island tonight. The front sweeps through and should lie clear of us in the evening. Waves of frontal bands in behind it, gradually running out of energy. Got the icy cold southerly moving onto the South Island in the afternoon. Showers for the west and south of the South Island, with possibly some hail in the mix. Snow to 600m in Westland, 300m in Fiordland and Southland and lowering to 400m in Otago. A cold, showery south-west change sweeps north, reaching Christchurch around 6pm. The front slides eastwards over the North Island, before clearing the north-east in the evening. The Bay of Plenty copping most of the rain. A few showers in the west, but it should become mostly fine from Hawke's Bay to Wellington. Strong northerly gives way to a westerly, then a few showers develop in the far south in the evening with a southerly change. For weather, see tvnz.co.nz An icy cold snap is on the way for parts of the South Island, but Jim will be back with you tomorrow with a much brighter outlook for Tuesday. Tonight's Good Sort is great with hands, making them look good for those who like a little bit of luxury and a lot of company. Hadyn Jones went to Orewa near Auckland to inspect some of Marion Bradbury's handy work. HAPPY MUSIC Marion Bradbury is like Little Red Riding Hood. Every Wednesday, she and her basket of goodies descends on an Orewa rest home. Hello, ladies. Mary, I haven't seen you for ages. Her first client is Joy. All ready to have your nails done? She gets a clean and a clip... Oh, you've got quite a bit to come off, haven't you? ...before the all-important colour selection. I wear all colours, so I like something that goes with everything, you know. Marion does the manicures for free, and there's a line up every week. It's just a little thing to do, but it makes people feel special. Here we go. Now, Joy likes the bright polish because way back in 1940 when life was black and white, she was a beauty queen. She was once upon a time a Miss NZ. She was a real glamour girl, weren't you? Back at Marion's place over some cheese scones ... Made fresh today. ...we find out the special reason Marion spends so much time helping others. Mayline Park was Marion's neighbour. They worked together, and their children married each other. And when she got sick, Marion was by her side at the rest home painting her nails. She got really ill with Parkinson's, and she used to say very quietly, 'You are such a good friend.' And when Mayline died, Marion decided to keep coming back with her basket. I just like to help people and make them feel nice ` JUST give them a bit of love. Got to have love in your life. That looks good, Joy, doesn't it? Marion Bradbury's fastidious ` two coats of polish and a hand massage to finish. Gives those muscles a little bit of a workout. Hi, Nana. Monique Teterin's next in line, although she's not here for a manicure. She nominated her nana for Good Sorts. Yeah, I'm just very proud to have her as my grandmother. Oh, Monique. (CHUCKLES) Thanks to Marion, the standard of nails at Maygrove Village is bedazzling. And the mood is much the same. It's something you can give somebody for nothing, is a smile. Unless, of course, you're a colour-blind male. Oh, I'm a bloke. I'd call that, maybe, a pink or a purple. Sort of a burgundy, I think. Might even be magenta. Who really knows? Hadyn Jones, ONE News. And that's ONE News tonight. Sunday's here at 7.30, with video the police didn't want you to see of a taser being used in a real-life situation. From the ONE News team, goodnight.
