Beautiful day for most of the country for the first day of winter. Just a few showers around Gisborne and a frosty for inland areas. The high producing the settled weather wants to hand around for the long weekend, but there's a bunch of fronts moving into the Tasman. I'll have your long-weekend forecast shortly. 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 Greg Boyed and Wendy Petrie. Student rage reaches boiling point tonight. Arrests in a stand-off with police in our biggest city,... MAN: Police brutality! ...as anger mounts over education cutbacks. All puffed up with pride ` see how Samoa's celebrating 50 years of independence. He's got even more mana ` why DJ Forbes and his sevens heroes can now call themselves All Blacks. And this'll tickle your fancy ` never-before-seen footage of Prince Charles with his mum. The tide's turning against changes in the classroom tonight, with protests picking up momentum. The government's allies are starting to question its facts and figures on education. And there's concern at our biggest school. Political reporter Michael Parkin has more on that shortly. But first to Kim Vinnell, who's been witnessing student venom. Kim. IN THE PAST FEW MINUTES PROTESTERS HAVE MADE THEIR WAY PAST HERE STOPPING TRAFFIC THEY'RE NOW OUTSIDE THE POLICE STATION THEY WANT TO BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY THEY WANT THEIR PROTEST ON THE WORLD STAGE PROTESTERS CHANT: Shame! Shame! Shame! With neither side backing down, the police bear the brunt of the battle against government policy. <BLEEP> the police! Brutality! Officers turned out in force.... PROTESTERS CHANT: Shame! Shame! Shame! ...met by protestors refusing to move staging a sit-down on a major route out of the city. SHOUTING Officers begin picking off students one by one. SHOUTING Pressure building to clear the road ahead of rush hour. But dragging stubborn protesters off the ground proved difficult. Arrests mounting, officers often needed help. This game of defiance and detainment continued. Watching their fellow protestors dragged off, the hardcore stood their ground. Many others stood by and watched. This is incredibly brutal. Last week we were allowed to have a protest on the same street for over five hours. And a sure sign of times ` all the action was captured by bystanders on mobile phones and cameras, the pictures already coming into ONE News. Fuelling student anger ` a taunting comment from finance minister Bill English, who last week said they should learn to protest like the Greeks. We're not protesting like the Greeks. Does he want us to burn his head? Their struggle, they say, is a small price to pay to teach the government a lesson. OK, Kim, where are the protesters now? THEY'VE BEEN TOLD THAT STUDENTS ARE PLANNING ANOTHER PROTEST FOR NEXT WEEK THE STUDENTS ARE VERY PASSIONATE WITH VERY GOOD COMMUNICATION THEY WANT TO CHANGE THE APATHY OF THEIR GENERATION Kim Vinnell, thank you. Hekia Parata says large secondary schools will actually get more money as a result of her education revamp. But the head of Rangitoto College, NZ's biggest, says the policy's still flawed. Joining us now is political reporter Michael Parkin. OF THE 2500 SCHOOL IN NZ, HEKIA PARATA SAYS 90% WILL LOSE OR GAIN A TEACHER TODAY WE ASKED THE WINNERS WHAT THEY THOUGHT With over 3000 students, Rangitoto College in Auckland is our largest secondary school. And on paper, it prospers under the government's controversial changes to class sizes and funding. We predict that we'll have probably one, perhaps two additional staff. But even with that boost, this principal says the government's got it wrong. I think they've bought a fight because I think, as I say, parents know. Parents just know that a smaller class is a better deal for their child. They're concerns now echoed from within the government. Peter Dunne says it was never properly explained that the original policy would have seen up to seven teachers cut from some schools. I was not given any information that led me to have suspected this outcome was going to be achieved. And the Revenue Minister thinks those inside Cabinet share his view. My suspicion is they've been taken by surprise, like the rest of us. Even Associate Education Minister and Maori Party co-leader Pita Sharples says he wasn't fully briefed. So, I've just written to the Prime Minister saying that we weren't informed of how this would spin, how it would play out. And Peter Dunne's found somewhere to point the finger. Someone's going to have to answer the questions as to how the gap between the reality of what we now face and what was portrayed as what was likely to occur at Budget time took place. Someone's going to have to answer that question, and I guess the Ministry is the first point to start with. Did you explain that to Cabinet, to government ministers to a decent enough level, do you think? We've been very clear and thorough in our modelling to show what the implications would. The Ministry boss says she expected a backlash. Nobody wants to take away funding from teachers. I think the argument that we have to win is the fact that it is a fact that I can't spend money that I haven't got. THAT'S THE MESSAGE THAT THE EDUCATION SECRETARY WANTS TO TAKE TO THE MEETING SHE'S OFFERED TO GO ALONG IT HASN'T YET BEEN ACCEPTEC SHE SAYS SHE HAS NOTHING TO HIDE Political reporter Michael Parkin. Will the Government's education revamp really deliver on quality teachers? That's what Close Up is looking at tonight at 7. Barely two hours into the official long weekend on our roads, a reminder to drivers to keep a gauge on your speed. The toll was zero at Easter, a first for a holiday period. And police say it's because they've got tough on motorists travelling at more than 4km/hr above the limit. You know, the analysis we've done shows that on holiday weekends where's it's been applied, we've had a lot less crashes over that time. The Queen's Birthday holiday period ends at 6 o'clock on Tuesday morning. ONE News has confirmed a guard and prisoner are seriously hurt after a gang-related attack inside jail. The guard at Rimutaka, near Wellington, has a fractured skull. The Corrections Department says he was attacked by a group of prisoners after trying to help the injured inmate. Both are being treated in hospital It's crunch time for the dairy giant that supplies nearly all of our milk. Fonterra has revealed final details of the plan to let outsiders invest in the co-op. Its 10,500 farmers backed the move two years ago, but concerns have forced another vote. Nadine Chalmers-Ross reports. Dairy is our biggest export, and 100% farmer ownership of exporter Fonterra is a sacred cow. The company says its plan to allow outside investors won't change that. It's still only farmers that can actually vote in the co-operative, and it's only farmers or supplying shareholders that can actually own shares. Currently, farmers can only trade their shares with Fonterra itself. Whereas, under this plan, they can trade shares with other farmers or sell shares to a fund listed on the NZ stock exchange, which then sells to investors. Those investors collect the dividend, but don't get voting rights, and the fund is capped at no more than 20% of the shares in Fonterra. That size prompted Simon Couper, chair of the shareholders council, to quit, saying... Eddie Glass has been studying Fonterra's proposal. He's been farming in Methven for almost 50 years and says any outside investment is a slippery slope. It's a toe in the water. If we vote for that, then the next stage for a total float of Fonterra is so simple, it's not funny. But Fonterra only needs 50% of farmers to vote for it, although chairman Sir Henry van der Heyden insists he wants a clear mandate. If we end up at 50% or slightly more than 50%, that's not a clear mandate, and we will not be executing trading among farmers. Farmers like Eddie will get to vote on the plan at the end of this month. If they reject it, Fonterra says it will put the idea of outside investment out to pasture. Nadine Chalmers-Ross, ONE News. Rugby bosses are investing even more heavily in our most famous sporting jersey. They're adding the All Blacks' name to the Sevens and Maori teams in the hope it brings more financial gold. This from Heather du Plessis-Allan. One of the world's biggest brands just got bigger. For decades, our sevens and Maori rugby teams have worn the all-black strip, but not carried the All Blacks' name. When you're overseas, you get called the All Blacks, anyway. It doesn't matter where you go. So it's juts making things official. Our world champions are a huge money-spinner, attracting sponsorship from global names like Coca Cola and Adidas ` see the logo on Sonny Bill Williams' chest? And the rugby union admits this move is about making more money. It does give us a commercial advantage. < And you need the money? And the game needs the money, and if the game needs the money, then it's good for the country. Even though some consider the All Blacks among the world's top five sporting brands in the world, the rugby union has lost $3m for two years running. It's a far cry from brands like football's Manchester United. They're a billion-dollar businesses, so actually while we may decry the fact that it's becoming more commercial, the All Blacks, relatively, are run on the smell of an oily rag. With the sevens game set to explode internationally once it debuts at the 2016 Olympics in Brazil, it's a safe bet that'll be a cash cow. Sevens is expanding almost day by day by day into a bigger sporting event and team than it's ever been. But does more All Blacks mean less mana for those wearing the jersey? I believe that the boys deserve to be called All Blacks, cos they're the best in their field. And when they run onto the field later this year, they'll do it as All Blacks officially. Heather du Plessis-Allan, ONE News. A tiny nation that's supplied plenty of All Blacks is partying tonight. There's been the official ceremony to mark half a century of independence for Samoa. Let's now see what's going on, with Pacific correspondent Barbara Dreaver in Apia. THE FESTIVITIES ARE NOT OVER HALF OF SAMOA IS HERE TO HEAR KING KAPISI For just a moment, time stood still on this day Samoa's people came to remember. Very emotional to think back of our parents and what they'd been trying to do. THE FESTIVITIES ARE NOT OVER As the flag went up, many couldn't contain their tears. The country's colours were raised by the last surviving member of Samoa's constitutional convention. Very very great and important to me. Especially` I'm the only one survivor. 50 years ago NZ handed back self-governance to the country. One of the organisers then ` the first clerk assistant to Parliament ` remembers that day well. I saw this flag at the top of the pole for the first time. To me, that was a very emotional moment... and that was how I felt this morning. Amongst those who came to pay tribute, Tonga's new king, and representing NZ, Governor General Sir Jerry Mataparae. Then after the formal events came the celebration. For the people, it was a chance to show their pride in their nation and its history. CHEERING All ages represented. BOTH: Yay! Thousands of people have come to celebrate 50 years of independence. It's a proud day for Samoa. While a week of celebration is planned, this is a nation which has come together to remember the past. It tells about the values and the vision that underpins that struggle. It's a struggle that will not be forgotten. IT'S NOT ONLY THE GENERAL POPULATION CELEBRATING THE HEAD OF STATE ANNOUNCED 35 PRISONERS FROM JAILED WILL BE RELEASED Pacific correspondent Barbara Dreaver. Let's now meet two other Samoan success stories. The brothers who make up Adeaze cleaned up at the Pacific Music Awards. But wait till you see what's been happening behind the scenes. Sharon Fergusson explains. The Tupa'i family have much to celebrate. Hi, big girl! Seven years has brought marital bliss and seven kids for brothers Viiz and Nainz. LAUGHTER Now a swarm of proud cousins and parents celebrate a big night of wins at the Pacific Music Awards. Adeaze for Rise & Shine! Their second album, Rise & Shine, has earned them awards for Best Urban Artist, Best Group and the Best Song Award for Paradise, a collaboration with a family-friendly message. # It's time to live for our kids so we can see a better day. We're fathers and husbands and still loving our music as well. # I wanna live in paradise, paradise, paradise. # I guess having children, we have a lot more weight behind our music, and stuff that we've walked through the last seven years has definitely helped shape our music. In 2005 they won Best Group for their debut album Always & For Real. In the years since, they've toured and performed live and tried to rise above music-industry stereotypes. The whole music-industry thing is the image, and, you know, you've gotta have the right body, the right look, and even the songwriting, you know ` people who are writing about cars and girls and all of that sort of stuff, but for us, we're just trying to be who we are. Next month Adeaze start recording their third album. Sharon Fergusson, ONE News. Still to come on ONE News ` Ukraine's president sweeps aside racism fears ahead of the Euro Championships. Will foreign football fans be safe? If you cringe at the thought of injections, there could be some relief ahead. And home videos with Prince Charles ` we take a look at rare footage of the royal household. Then at 7 ` they want our people over there. See what one Aussie company's offering to lure Kiwis across the Tasman. With only a week to go until the Euro Football Championships, Ukraine's telling fans going there not to fear racist attacks. It follows a BBC programme showing Ukrainian hooligans targeting Asians. The country's president insists racism's no worse there than anywhere else. From the capital, Kiev, the BBC's Daniel Sandford reports. CROWD CHANTS IN UKRAINIAN After the BBC's Panorama programme broadcast these scenes of racism, including anti-Semitism and violence in Ukrainian football stadiums, some fans have been worried about going to the tournament. Today, however, their country's president told me those concerns are unjustified. (SPEAKS UKRAINIAN) TRANSLATOR: These football hooligans are known to us. Their numbers are tiny, and they won't be allowed to enter the stadiums. There won't be any danger to football players or fans. But in the build-up to Euro 2012, President Yanukovych's great rival, Yulia Tymoshenko, one of the faces of the Orange Revolution eight years ago, was sent to prison and claimed to have been assaulted there. It's caused a diplomatic nightmare, with some senior European politicians threatening not to come to the Ukraine during the tournament. TRANSLATOR: I know that this issue is hindering Ukraine's integration into the European Union, He can't stop fans complaining about the soaring cost of hotel rooms, but he has promised to keep the violent hooligans under control. The championship runs from June the 8th until July the 1st and is co-hosted by Poland. In just under three hours, a deadline imposed by the Syrian Free Army on the government will expire. The rebels have demanded President Assad's regime start observing a United Nations' peace plan or face the consequences. Meanwhile the US Secretary of State's rejected Russia's claim that it's a stabilising influence on Syria. I think they are in effect propping up the regime at a time when we should be working out a political transition. Mrs Clinton's also warned that Russia's policy towards Syria will contribute to a civil war. Fears of an all out civil war in Syria are also being fuelled by reports of in-fighting within the main opposition group. The Syrian National Council may have international backing, but it's plagued by power struggles. The BBC's Fergal Keane went to Istanbul in Turkey to meet the council's leader. Syria was once ruled from this city ` a distant province of the great Ottoman Empire. But today, Istanbul is a city of refuge for Syrians fleeing the terror at home. These women are packing clothes to send back to embattled families inside Syria. Do you think your leaders are going to be able to get you home soon? No. Never. I think they live in another world. The most damaging charge is that the Syrian National Council has squabbled while civilians have died. This man spent 10 years in the regime's prisons. He quit the SNC earlier this year. < What do the activists in Syria, who you deal with all the time, feel about the SNC? They feel that it's bad. It's bad because SNC failed to do anything. The current leader of the SNC is this politics professor, who's lived in Paris for the last 30 years. Isn't the big problem here that you are so incompetent and so divided as an opposition? TRANSLATOR: Do you think the people who lived half a century without political freedom under this murderous regime will speak with one voice and there won't be different sides? These divisions are natural, but the disunity in the international community is more serious than the divisions in the SNC. It's a sign of the crisis that the day after our interview, the professor resigned amid fresh divisions. The fear is that unless the opposition inside and outside Syria can achieve some kind of unity, there will be a new power struggle if the Assad regime falls. Horrified drivers on a Melbourne motorway had no chance of avoiding a truckload of sheep raining down on them from an overpass. The overturned truck spilled dead and injured sheep directly onto the traffic below. One car rolled and three others were extensively damaged. We all screamed. I slammed on the brakes, and we are so lucky. My car is an absolute write-off, but the sheep ` I just feel so bad for them. One man was taken to hospital with minor injuries. 50 sheep had to be put down. 10 musicians have scaled a peak in the Himalayas to claim the title of the world's highest musical performance. They took turns performing on the peak, with one saying it was difficult to play guitar due to the extreme cold. There was even a paying audience, raising more than $70,000 to build an orphanage in Nepal. SINGS IN FRENCH The group only had to play for 15 minutes to beat the current record, but managed to battle it out for 40. And here's another world record ` this impressive piece of parallel parking. The driver managed to handbrake his way into a gap just 22cm longer than his vehicle, knocking 7cm off the previous record. Let's look at that one more time. Please do not try this on Queen St. Weather time now. Plenty of sunshine today, but is it going to last through the weekend, Karen? Weather time now. Plenty of sunshine today, but is it going to last through the weekend, Karen? It starts out well, but it'll be frosty and maybe foggy again in the morning. Then there's some fronts in the Tasman determined to water a few gardens. For weather, see tvnz.co.nz Our shot of the day today is these beautiful monarch butterflies enjoying the first day of winter sunshine in Greenhithe in Auckland. Thanks to Joyce Thompson for the photo. I'll be back after sport with the outlook for the long weekend. Coming up on ONE News ` are you trypanophobic? Find out what that means and why you'll be relieved. Reminiscing with Prince Charles ` never-seen-before footage of the Queen being a mum. And having a laugh at the White House ` what happens when two US presidents and their ladies meet up. Have you ever dreamt of earning big bucks across the ditch? We sort of expected around 100 people. Well, there was 600. Tonight ` how one company's promising you a brighter future in Australia. Plus, our favourite 94-year-old is back. It's a family show! What's her latest achievement sending her halfway around the world? Close Up at 7, TV ONE. 1 Do you have trypanophobia? That's a fear of needles. Well, there may be some relief for you ahead. NZ and American scientists together are developing a 'needle-free' jab expected to be available here within five years. Amy Kelley reports. It's flu-jab time for Donald Baldwinson. Do it on three. One, two, three. Fortunately, he's not fazed by needles. Sometimes we get them to lie down if they faint. We've had a couple of kiddies that just get... totally lose it and go and hide in the corner. But there could soon be a new option for needlephobes ` a way of injecting drugs that doesn't involve one of these. Auckland University scientists demonstrated the device on this silicone gel, which is a similar consistency to skin tissue. The drug's delivered in a high-pressure stream at almost the speed of sound. It definitely holds a lot of potential for the future. So how does it work? A magnet in the centre of the jet injector is surrounded by a coil of wire. When they apply a current to the coil, it creates a force, pushing this piston, and then the drug out of the ampoule and through the skin. Until now, most of these types of instruments have been powered from uncontrollable sources like springs, where it's all or nothing. In this device that we've got very tight control over how fast it comes out and how deep it goes into the skin. Scientists say diabetes sufferers will one day inject their insulin this way. The device could also be used on farm animals and in horticulture. But they expect it will be most popular with doctors' clinics. The diameter of the jet that comes out of this device is about one-quarter the area of one of the smallest needles, so the disruption to your skin is much, much smaller. And the experience much less scary for those who aren't quite this brave. That's fine, thanks. OK. Amy Kelley, ONE News. Now to some home movies with a regal twist ` never-before-seen footage of the royals, including scenes filmed by the Queen herself. The Prince of Wales has shared some of the Queen's family life ahead of this weekend's Diamond Jubilee celebrations. The BBC's Nicholas Witchell reports. It's a wonderfully battered box. In the library at Balmoral, a trunk full of remarkable memories. These are the Queen's own home movies. A cine record of her reign, filmed by herself and her husband. They've never before been seen publicly and are presented now by Prince Charles in a personal tribute to his mother. (CHUCKLES) Here are mother and child in 1949. Guess he went to stand up, tried to walk. Not very successfully. The films challenge some of the impressions that have grown up over the years ` for example, that the Queen was a distant mother. Three years later, the summer of 1952 at Balmoral. By now Elizabeth was Queen and Charles had a younger sister, Anne. 1957, and a day at the beach at Holkham in Norfolk. It's been said that Anne was always the more daring of the two. CHARLES CHUCKLES But not today. CHARLES LAUGHS The films also give a glimpse behind the scenes at Buckingham Palace. This was the Queen returning after her coronation. I remember my mother coming up when we were being bathed as children, wearing the crown. It was quite funny. That's a vivid memory, I must say. For all the millions of images of the Queen, there are still gaps in the visual record of her reign, but some of them will now be closed by the Queen's own private newsreels. And the cat-and-mouse game between protesters and police continues tonight in central Auckland. Updating tonight's leading story now ` students are still protesting in central Auckland over education reforms which have also angered teachers. 43 people have been arrested. Students claim police have used excessive force. And the cat-and-mouse game between protesters and police continues tonight in central Auckland. Let's go back live now to Kim Vinnell for the latest. IN THE LAST 30 SECONDS, PROTESTERS HAVE MOVED OFF BUSES HAVE LINED UP, UNABLE TO PASS TRHOUGH STUDENTS HAVE ORGANISED ANOTHER PROTEST FOR NEXT WEEK Our other top story ` the party continues in Samoa and here this evening as the Pacific nation celebrates 50 years of independence. There'll now be a week of festivities after thousands turned out for a day of pride and remembrance. Samoan celebrations have also been special for some Wellington students who have been learning about the culture and language of the Pacific nation for the last week. This from Daniel Faitaua. Halfway across the Pacific in Porirua, these kids were dancing to the same beat. ALL: Talofa! For a week the children from Russell Primary have studied the Pacific nation. All of that sharing of each other's culture helps us understand each other and breaks down the barriers of separation. Along with their teachers, more than 130 pupils immersed themselves into cultural activities, celebrating with colour, costume and a premature conclusion. THUNK! LAUGHTER But the show went on. Then there was lunch, and this was a tuck shop like no other. That's green bananas with coconut cream, sweet and sour, taro. Eel, I think, yeah, cooked with coconut cream. Feeding young minds, today's commemorations also coincided with Samoan Language Week. Talofa ` hello. 'O le a lou igoa?' That means, 'What's your name?' Tulou lava. < Which means? 'Excuse me'. 'Fa'afetai' ` it means they're saying thank you. E le na'o tamaiti a'o tagata uma o le lalolagi ma Niu Sila, e tatau ona fa'amalosia e a'oa'o le gagana ma le aganu'u fa'asamoa i aso uma. And for these youngsters at least, there's no sign their interest in Samoa is flagging. Daniel Faitaua, ONE News. Former president George W Bush returned to the White House today. for the unveiling of his official portrait, where he and wife Laura were cracking the jokes. Thank you so much for inviting our rowdy friends... LAUGHTER ...to my hanging. Nothing makes a house a home like having portraits of its former occupants staring down at you from the wall. Then it was President Obama's turn. George, I will always remember your kind words of encouragement, plus you also left me a really good TV sports package. Politics never reared its ugly head. Jenny-May's here next with sport, and short-putter Val Adams stamps her mark ahead of the Olympics. VAL HAS SMASHED EVERY AT A MEET IN ROME At the same meet, Usain Bolt returns to his freakish best. Back here, the Highlanders welcome the return of their enforcer ahead of tonight's southern derby. Why are there calls for Brit Andy Murray to quit the French Open? And Oklahoma ends the Spurs' remarkable winning streak in the NBA play-offs. Kia ora, welcome back. 56 days out from the Olympic Games, and another of our gold medal favourites has underlined to the world she's on track for London. And shot-putter Valerie Adams isn't the only world champion who's been in ominous form in Rome. Here's Olympics reporter Craig Stanaway. There she is with a spring in her step leaving the Olympic Stadium in Rome. The pictures from inside aren't that great, but Valerie Adams' face tells its own story. Five of her six throws were better than everyone else. I threw over 21m, and to throw over 21m in my first competition, I'm very very happy. Just look at how good this performance was. Her greatest rival, Belarusian Nadezhda Ostapchuk, finished third, behind the Chinese shot-putter. Adams was well clear of the world-class field. It's going good. We're on a good way, no injuries, so it's good, and I'm really happy at this moment. Her 21.03m today was just 21cm off her own personal best. It caps a remarkable week for NZ's two best Olympic gold-medal hopes after Hamish Bond and Eric Murray blitzed everyone in Lucerne. And they aren't the only world champions approaching top form heading to London. 100m champion Usain Bolt has clocked a season best, 9.76. The execution wasn't a perfect one, but it was better than Ostrava and I am getting better. Not everyone's Olympic preparations are going to plan, though. The next Diamond League meet is in Oslo next week. Craig Stanaway, ONE News. The Highlanders have named a full-strength side for tonight's game with the Crusaders in Christchurch. That means an international battle at open-side flanker. Max Bania reports. After a month off to cool his heels and his temper, James Haskell is raring to go against the Crusaders. Yeah, I've been doing a lot of running fitness, been doing some boxing, jujitsu. Obviously, I won't be using any of that on the field as that's what got me in trouble last time. This punch during the Highlanders' win over the Cheetahs earned the England international a four-match ban. It's such a short period of time that I'm over here for. To miss four games ` you know, never gonna get those games back, so that is very disappointing and I feel like I owe the boys, really. And there's no better time to repay the debt than in Christchurch against All Blacks captain Richie McCaw. He'll bring a lot of experience and he's a pretty physical guy as well, but he'll need to be at the top of his game. He's playing against the All Black loose forward trio. Just look at their ability. They've got superstars across the field, so as a NZ side, you've always gotta respect them. Last year's cut-off for making the play-offs was 55 points. By that measure, the Highlanders still need to win two of their last three games before banking four points for the bye. Also back in the starting 15 after a hamstring strain is tough number eight Nasi Manu. Haskell's return, though, is fleeting. He's off on Saturday to join the England squad as they prepare for three Tests against the Springboks. Max Bania, ONE News. The NZ women's hockey team has been unable to make it a clean sweep in their three-match series against China this afternoon, losing 1-0. Meantime the men are into the final of the Sultan Azlan Shah Cup tournament with a game in hand after beating hosts Malaysia 4-1, with this goal from Ryan Archibald the pick of them. NZ face Korea in their final pool match tomorrow night, before a likely meeting with either Argentina or Britain in the final. A major injury scare, a record-breaking match and more classy performances. Day five of the French Tennis Open has had plenty of drama. Glen Larmer reports. Andy Murray's probably got used to a few welcome mats in the past few years, given his calibre as a tennis player, but not like this. This was early in the first set against Finland's Jarkko Nieminen; an ongoing back injury equalling major grief. My physio's one of the best, and his advice before the match was that by playing, you're not going to do any permanent damage, so go out and give it a go and see how it feels. Murray's been heavily criticised by former stars Jim Courier and Boris Becker for playing through the pain. But call it good management or good luck, he came right to the point of really getting under Nieminen's skin by midway through the fourth set. The Finn couldn't recover. Murray was into the third round. And that's it for Andy Murray. No such worries for Rafael Nadal, who's imperious march towards a seventh title rolls on. He easily beat Uzbekistan's Denis Istomin in straight sets in less than two hours. APPLAUSE The match between France's Paul-Henri Mathieu, on the left, and American John Isner, was far from routine, though. Not quite in the league of Isner's historic 11-hour victory over Nicolas Mahut at Wimbledon two years ago, this one still went for five hours and 41 minutes, the second longest in tournament history. Matieu finally prevailed on his eighth match point; 18-16 in the fifth. CROWD ROARS Glen Larmer, ONE News. San Antonio's outstanding winning streak in the NBA has finally ended at the hands of the Oklahoma Thunder in game three of the western conference series. The Spurs had won their last 20 games. The Thunder, though, ended the streak emphatically, with Kevin Durant top scoring with 22 points. Good job by Perkins on the iso with Tony Parker. He switched and he stayed in front of him. CROWD CHEERS The Thunder won the game 102-82, but the Spurs still lead the best of seven series, 2-1. If you believe the whispers, the best days are now behind the man considered the best pound-for-pound boxer in the world And Manny Pacquiao could lose his next fight. But there's no denying his worldwide appeal as the Filipino held an open training session in Los Angeles ahead of this month's bout against undefeated American Tim Bradley. But lose and the super-fight against Floyd Mayweather is off. My kids say that, 'Dad, I want you to retire soon, but before you retire, I have one request.' 'What is that, son?' He said, 'Fight Mayweather. Beat him.' (LAUGHS) Mayweather won't be seeing any action for the next 90 days. He heads to jail tonight for domestic assault. Finally in sport, whether you're a weekend warrior or an Olympic champion, chances are music plays a big role in getting you mind into the zone to compete. Now a world champion has had a piece of music especially composed for him in his bid for a gold medal in London. Here's the BBC's James Pearce. # Can't stop me now. This is what Tom Daley listens to to get in the right mood for competition. # What have you done today to make your feel proud? # World 5000m champion Mo Farah prefers Coldplay. COLDPLAY'S 'PARADISE' EMINEM'S 'TILL I COLLAPSE' 14-times Olympic gold medallist Michael Phelps is a little less mainstream. # Till I collapse, I'm spilling these raps long as you feel them. Till the day that I drop... # And I ask you to do it really fast, you'd probably, like, stutter into it, you would. Now world hurdles champion Dai Greene is taking it one step further. He's been linked up with his favourite music producer, Redlight. TECHNO MUSIC PLAYS Between them and a professor who specialises in the psychology of music, they're creating a special track for Dai to listen to in the final moments before his Olympic races. Gold, silver, bronze and even, you know, down to eighth place is not much ` you know, a small margin for error, and if this track is spot-on and does the business, then it'll put me mentally in a great place before I race.
