It was a mostly fine start to the long weekend, especially in eastern areas and the Far North. But a change is on the way as our high comes under pressure from some incoming fronts. Later in the news hour, I'll tell you where there could be some heavy rain tonight and tomorrow morning. 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 Bernadine Oliver-Kerby. An update on a ONE News exclusive tonight ` a syringe is discovered dumped among vines, so is any action being taken against kiwifruit growers on an illegal practice? Will you soon see more scenes like this? We have details on students making a rallying call. A new pictures of what look like mass graves, so will Syria's president face criminal charges? And leading the charge ` the Kiwis playing a big part in celebrating the Queen's diamond jubilee. The kiwifruit industry says growers who broke the law injecting their vines with antibiotics The kiwifruit industry says growers who broke the law injecting their vines with antibiotics have suffered enough already. But others say their bid to rid vines of the PSA disease put the whole industry at risk. Heather du Plessis-Allan reports. A syringe dumped in a pit of dead vines. It's the first physical evidence we've seen of the kiwifruit antibiotic injections. We can't identify this orchard, but we understand a few dozen vines here were inoculated. We're told that syringe would've been used to inject about this much ` half a teaspoon of KeyStrepto ` the bactericide containing the antibiotic. But apparently, it didn't work, and the plants weren't saved from PSA. The antibiotic was wrongly used by 62 growers. The most prominent that we're aware of are Zespri director at the time, Ray Sharp and industry leader Michael Montgomery. Even though he admits injecting his plants was illegal, Michael Montgomery says he doesn't expect to be prosecuted. In fact, no one's been prosecuted even though government officials had the lawbreakers' names as early as March. We asked Associate Primary Industries Minister Nathan Guy why. No idea. Growers who've broken the law have been forced to dump their contaminated kiwifruit. None of that kiwifruit is allowed to be exported or sold at home for fear of humans building up a resistance to the medicine. The industry says those growers have already been punished. The ultimate sanction for these growers is firstly that the fruit they had on these vines doesn't have any sale value, so they have no income from those vines. Other growers we've spoken to want the lawbreakers held accountable, they say, for putting an industry already knocked by PSA in an even more vulnerable position with export markets nervous about antibiotics. Heather du Plessis-Allan, ONE News. Students who brought Central Auckland to a standstill say they're now regrouping for more protest action. Others in Wellington say they're also gearing up for demonstrations against the government. Ruth Wynn-Williams with the latest. ALL CHANT: One step forward, one step forward, one step forward. Students say they'll be taking more steps against the Government, with protests being planned for Auckland and Wellington... <BLEEP>! STUDENTS JEER ...even though some say they're going too far after four of the 43 arrested last night were charged with disturbing the peace. Pretty extreme, to be honest, for just a bit of money. I know a lot of people who aren't really keen on participating in it. It would be more effective for those people to be door-knocking in the lower socio-economic communities It would be more effective for those people to be door-knocking in the lower socio-economic communities and getting those people to vote. The students say they're protesting against changes to allowances and their loan repayments announced in Bill English's Budget. In a statement, the University of Auckland told ONE News it supports its students' right to freedom of speech. But it also said protests should remain be peaceful and not pose a threat to students or the public. Protest organisers didn't respond to our enquiries, but online students are saying it was the police, not them, disrupting the peace. And there are questions being raised about just who's behind the group. It's a whole lot of people who don't actually have student loans who just like sitting on the streets. I think there were only about four students in it. One person ONE News has identified is Chris Glen, who was also a spokesperson for the Occupy Auckland movement. Representing my democratic right to protest. Representing my democratic right to protest. As others say, they'll demonstrate in coming weeks. Ruth Wynn-Williams, ONE News. The age you can buy alcohol from your bottle store will soon go up to 20 if the Justice Minister gets her way. Judith Collins has told TV One's Q+A programme she favours a split, which means 18-year-olds could still legally drink at their local. But some say it'll still have little affect on our binge culture. With more, let's go to Rebecca Edwards in Wellington. Rebecca. SATURDAY NIGHT OF A LONG WEEKEND ` NO DOUBT MANY PEOPLE AROUND THE COUNTRY ARE GEARING UP FOR A BIG NIGHT OUT, BUT IT'S WHEN THINGS ESCALATE AS A RESULT OF TOO MUCH ALCOHOL THAT'S THE ISSUE. AND CRITICS SAY THE REFORM BILL DUE TO BE DEBATED IN PARLIAMENT IN ABOUT A MONTH STILL DOESN'T GO FAR ENOUGH. Saturday in Auckland. These scenes captured by TV ONE's Close Up programme show what can happen on an alcohol-fuelled night out. The Government hopes its alcohol reform bill will help stamp out these images. It's right down the middle; it's pragmatic; it's sensible; it's the first attempt by any government to limit alcohol. What I'm really hoping is that the Government will hear the voice of NZers, which I think is actually being reflected in the other parties in Parliament, so I think the Government is coming under pressure. A key proposal is splitting the legal age, meaning 18-year-olds could buy alcohol from the likes of bars and clubs, but you'd have to be two years older to purchase it from liquor stores and supermarkets. Now the Maori Party's announced it's pushing for the bill to go further. It wants issues like advertising and sponsorship addressed, as well as minimum price and accessibility to alcohol. The feeling on the streets is mixed on whether tougher measures will make a difference. Price probably would. And also availability, yeah. Some of these stores that open all over the show shouldn't be allowed to open. It's too late. Kids are still going to drink; kids are still going to drive. Yeah, just inform them better, I think. One thing's for sure ` there'll be plenty more stumbling points as the debate goes on. THESE PROPOSED AMENDMENTS BY THE MAORI PARTY WILL BE CONSIDERED IN THE NEXT STAGE OF THE BILL ` BEFORE IT'S BACK IN PARLIAMENT FOR ITS THIRD AND FINAL READING. IN JULY. Rebecca Edwards in Wellington. And you can see the full interview with Justice Minister Judith Collins on Q+A here on TV ONE from 9 tomorrow morning. There's an open invitation to NZers who want to go to a memorial service in Wellington on Friday for the triplets killed in a shopping mall fire. A friend of the Weekes family says they've been overwhelmed by the love and support they've received since the 2-year-olds died on Monday. The parents, Martin and Jane, and other family members will return from the Qatari capital of Doha in the next few days. They say they felt it was important to open the service to members of the public. It'll be at St Paul's Cathedral in Wellington. A security lockdown's in place tonight in the Egyptian capital right now as it awaits the sentencing of its 84-year-old former president, Hosni Mubarak. These are the live pictures from Cairo as Mubarak faces from three years in jail to the death sentence if found guilty. He's charged with complicity in the killings of some 900 protesters in the 18-day revolt that ended in his ousting in February last year. Despite reports that he's in excellent health, Mubarak has always appeared in court on a stretcher. We'll update you if there are any developments during the news hour. There's a call for prison guards to be able to use tasers as one remains in a serious but stable condition after trying to break up a brawl. The inmate also injured in the attack at Rimutaka Jail, near Wellington, is back behind bars after getting treatment for minor injuries. The Corrections Department says the guard has severe head injuries. The Corrections Association wants guards armed with pepper spray and also have tasers on hand. The head of a controversial church movement says his new super Destiny city will be unlike anything NZ's ever seen before. Brian Tamaki will unveil details in about an hour's time of what he calls 'The New Jerusalem'. It'll be built on three hectares of land in South Auckland. This afternoon the self-proclaimed bishop spoke exclusively to Kate Lynch, who joins us now live. Kate. I'M STANDING OUTSIDE THE ROTORUA EVENTS CENTRE WHERE IN JUST 45 MINUTES TIME, MR TAMAKI WILL UNVEIL DETAILED CONCEPT PLANS FOR HIS NEW CITY TO BE BUILT ON DRUCES ROAD IN WIRI OVER THE NEXT FEW YEARS. SEVERAL THOUSAND MEMBERS OF THE CHURCH ARE EXPECTED TO ATTEND. THEY'LL BE SHOWN A DVD AND A MODEL OF THEIR NEW PROMISED LAND. MR TAMAKI SAID IT WILL CAUSE CONTROVERSY. It's a version of church that I think the country hasn't seen before. It definitely puts us into a larger level of operation, a larger ministry and a service to the community, and that's got to be good news particularly for South Auckland and the needs that our country is facing now. Well, tonight is really just giving an overview, which will then enable people to see what they're giving toward and how this is going to benefit them, our children and also the community. We're self-funded. We don't really rely on government funding from anywhere else. The people themselves fund all our efforts to help the community as well as our own. AND THE COST OF BUILDING IT IS EXPECTED TO RUN IN TO TENS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS. MOST OF THAT MONEY WILL COME FROM DONATIONS FROM DESTINY FOLLOWERS ON NIGHTS LIKE TONIGHT, BUT MR TAMAKI HAS BEEN VERY OPEN ABOUT THE FACT HE THINKS THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD FRONT UP SOME FUNDING. WE WILL BRING YOU ALL OF THE DETAILS OF THE PLAN AND REACTION TO IT TOMORROW NIGHT. Thank you, Kate Lynch reporting from Rotorua. Right now, you can bet British royalty's getting ready for a trip to the races. This Queen's Birthday also marks the start of four days of celebrations of her 60-year reign. She's following a favourite pastime ` off to see the gee-gees at the Epsom Derby, among a host of other celebrations. Here's the BBC's Nicholas Witchell. 60 years after Elizabeth flew home as Queen, Britain is gearing up with its jubilee tribute. While much of London slept, a full-scale rehearsal took place of the carriage procession which will conclude the jubilee celebrations on Tuesday. Then the streets will be crowded. This morning, there was barely a spectator to be seen, giving the foot guards a chance to measure out their positions as street-liners, and the household cavalry to familiarise themselves with the route that the carriages will take ` from Westminster Hall and up Whitehall and finally along the mall and back to Buckingham Palace. On the Thames boats are being marshalled for the river pageant, the main event on Sunday afternoon. For that day, the main uncertainty seems to be the weather ` some rain is forecast. Around the Victoria Memorial a huge stage is being constructed. This will be the setting for Monday night's diamond jubilee concert. Of course, not everybody will be cheering this weekend. Republicans believe the jubilee is misconceived. 60 years on the throne is not an achievement. It's a job for life with no squeaking an no accountability. It's simple mathematics ` if you're given a job for life at 25 and now you're 85 or 86, you've done it for 60 years, you know. Yet the facts tell us that across the 60 years of the Queen's reign, the monarchy's popularity has remained remarkably resilient. The stage, quite literally, is set for a weekend when, I think we can fairly say, a clear majority of people in this country will indicate their support for the institution and their gratitude to the person who heads it. NZ's presence at the jubilee got a boost today with the launching of a kauri waka taua on the River Thames. The craft's arrival was only ensured thanks to a concerted last-ditch effort by officials and Maori to convince organisers it is safe. Europe Correspondent Garth Bray was on hand for the test run. It's a special delivery for Queen's Birthday weekend. This waka taua has been shipped from its home in a Dutch museum... ALL CHANT HAKA ...so that these paddlers can pay tribute to the Queen's 60 years on the throne. The waka taua was used to bring all the chiefs to the signing of the Treaty in 1840, so I think it's very appropriate that the waka taua is still used today and just to let our Crown partner know that we're still here. Northland lad Chappy Harrison helped build Te Hono ki Aotearoa. Now he's honing its crew of 14. as the captain or kaihautu. I've got this quiet confidence in the crew cos we've prepared well, we trained well, the boys are fit, the boys are keen and, you know, we've done the work, and we've done the work enough to know that we're here to do the business, really. The waka hasn't even hit the water here in London, and it's already bringing cultures closer together. The boys from the local rowing club have turned up to see what the fuss is about and decided to take a team photo with the guys from Aotearoa. They also get a very Kiwi lesson in helping your mates. Lifting a ton of kauri into the water takes every spare hand. That's the good part of the waka ` you know, it joins people together. It lifts their spirits. And then it's off downriver for the first time. This waka built for the waves tests its paddlers on this fickle river. It's taken a huge effort to overcome Britain's health-and-safety bureaucracy so that this vessel can join the royal retinue. But at high water on Sunday local time, there'll be no doubting NZ is on the Thames. Garth Bray, ONE News, London. Later in the news hour, we'll see how NZers back here are getting into the spirit of the jubilee celebrations. Still to come on ONE News ` mounting evidence of Syrian crimes against humanity. Mass graves and another massacre come to light. The end of the road for one of the world's largest landfills. What next for Rio's legion of trash sorters? And as Samoa celebrates 50 years of nationhood, we meet the Kiwi conservators fighting to save its heritage buildings. Remind her of her, you know, uniqueness, type of person she is ` beautiful person. At that time, I never knew who I was, and so she would always say, 'Oh, you had a really good personality. You were out there. You were friendly. You were kind. 'You're really unique.' And, um, just having her remind me, I was like, 'Was I? Really? You're just saying that!' And she was, 'Nah, you were. You were.' You are. You are. I am. You are. I am. BOTH LAUGH (LAUGHS) It's now claimed there's evidence of mass graves in Syria as the case builds to charge Bashar al-Assad's government with crimes against humanity. These satellite images have just been released by America's State Department. It says they're proof of a massacre of civilians by Syrian forces. You can see the outline of what appear to be newly dug graves. The pictures are from Tall Daww, a village near Houla where a hundred people died, and they've surfaced amid new allegations of execution-style killings. This from the BBC's Bridget Kendall. PEOPLE SPEAK ARABIC More disturbing images from Syria posted on the internet by opposition activists. Factory workers forced off a bus and murdered, they say, by pro-government militias, an account UN observers inside Syria haven't verified yet. But they did confirm the massacre last week at Houla, and today the UN Human Rights Council blamed Syria for it, urging an inquiry to investigate possible war crimes. These acts may amount to crimes against humanity and other international crimes and may be indicative of a pattern of widespread or systematic attacks against civilian populations. Syria's envoy denied his government's involvement, blaming the massacre on rebel fighters. (SPEAKS ARABIC) TRANSLATOR: It is now a familiar pattern for armed terrorist gangs to carry out massacres timed deliberately to lead to special sessions hostile to Syria, like this one. PEOPLE SPEAK ARABIC, SHELLS EXPLODE From several parts of Syria today, there's been amateur video suggesting renewed shelling. Here in Homs, it's clear Syria's unlikely to turn into another Libya, involving Western military. In the first place, Russia would probably block it at the UN Security Council. But even without Russia, there's no appetite for intervention. Syria is a well-armed state in a volatile region, and an all-out war would soon involve its neighbours. Plus, Western powers are distracted, the United States with its presidential election, Europeans with the euro crisis, and all of them worried about withdrawing from Afghanistan. In Paris tonight President Putin was digging in his heels,... (SPEAKS FRENCH) ...refusing to consider sanctions on Syria and pointing out opposition fighters are also killing people. And the UN peace plan, he says, is still worth backing. But the UN's special envoy, Kofi Annan, says he's frustrated and impatient. He wants immediate action to end the violence. Major world sharemarkets have taken a tumble on the release of weak economic data on both sides of the Atlantic. News that the US added half the expected new jobs spooked the markets and had President Obama acknowledging on the campaign trail all was not well with the economy. As we learned in today's jobs report, we're still not creating them as fast as we want. And with eurozone unemployment hitting record highs, German stocks tumbled 3.5%. America's Dow Jones index is down over 2%. A massive dump in Brazil, one of the world's largest open-air landfills, is closing. The Rio de Janeiro tip will be transformed into a vast facility turning gas emitted by the rotting rubbish into fuel. What will happen to the hundreds of scavengers who make their living picking through the garbage for recycling is less clear. At its peak, the site had up to 900 truckloads of rubbish dumped there daily. As Samoa celebrates its 50th independence anniversary, one of its oldest landmarks is under threat. More than 10 years ago, the Samoan Cabinet agreed to conserve four heritage buildings, but it's since had two of them knocked down. Pacific correspondent Barbara Dreaver is in Apia and filed this report. Samoa's famous courthouse may have a rich past, but its future is less certain. It lies empty, virtually abandoned. It's the question of cost and maintaining these buildings. Very expensive. It was one of four buildings that Cabinet once voted to conserve. They are not hard and fast rules that cannot be changed. And its certainly been changed. This has been the replacement for one of the heritage buildings. The building itself was in a dilapidated stage, and it ought to be pulled down. And the country's original Parliament has also recently been removed. Now a group of NZ and Samoan architects and students are hoping to convince the government to protect its remaining heritage buildings. Samoa will lose distinctiveness and risks becoming homogenised by internationalism if it can't keep key examples of what makes it special. At the top of the list ` the old courthouse Built and designed in 1902, this is one of the few remaining colonial German timber buildings left in the world today. This group has been funded by NZ and German aid to find a way of preserving it. They're working on a number of plans to present to the Samoan government and people. I think it's really important that everyone understands that this is a building that is meant for the community. The government is not making any promises. If they fail to preserve it, then the government may have to tender it out to a hotelier developer. The group just hopes it can convince the government to conserve it for Samoa's future generations. Barbara Dreaver, ONE News, Apia. Weather time now, and it looks like there's some heavy rain on the way, Karen? MetService has issued a watch for some heavy rain moving into Fiorldland And Westland overnight. Most South Island places will get some rain or drizzle tomorrow. For weather, see tvnz.co.nz I'll have the forecast for the rest of your long weekend after sport. Coming up on ONE News ` the government pays compo to hundreds of victims of abuse in our borstals. Health and dental students team up to experience the sharp end of rural medical needs. And gearing up for the jubilee down under ` a Kiwi take on the best of British. What I would do is just go over there to her house, um, tell her to get up and make me a coffee. Just treat her normal. um, tell her to get up and make me a coffee. Just treat her normal. (LAUGHS) Yeah. And just sit down with her and then just allow her to talk ` talk about what it is that she's going through. She would ask questions, and as` as hard as it was for me to answer it, because in the state of mind that I was in, I was confused. And really I just didn't know what the hell was really going on. But eventually I got the answer. But eventually I got the answer. Yes. So... But eventually I got the answer. Yes. So... Because I don't quit. (LAUGHS) (LAUGHS) More than 30 years since the end of our notorious borstal youth offender system, victims of abuse are getting some justice. The government's admitted paying about $4m in compensation to nearly 200 claimants. But as Marae Investigates' Carmen Parahi found out, for one former borstal resident, that's not enough. Karl Tauri was in and out of state care for seven years during the 1970s. He was just 11 when he was sent to the Lower Hutt Epuni Boys Home after he stole chocolate. I experienced hidings, physical abuse. The worst for me is the mental abuse. Karl says the abuse damaged him for life and set him on a path of crime and violence. It was just violent, violent, violent. You felt it, you smelt it, you lived it, you knew it. 40 years later, Karl has received a written apology and compensation from the Ministry of Social Development. I still feel there's a liability. I still feel that there's really no real resolution. To date, the Ministry of Social Development has received 1015 claims. 197 have been compensated at a cost of nearly $4m. Karl now wants a broad public apology. It's time the state put their hand up for the crimes that were committed against us. The Attorney General is refusing, saying the state will only apologise to individuals. Well, I think I've already dealt with it some years ago by saying that I agreed with the principle that anyone who was abused deserved an apology. But Karl insists there needs to be more public recognition of the impact state care had on children and subsequently on their families and society as a whole. Carmen Parahi, ONE News. And you can see the full story on Marae Investigates tomorrow morning at 10 here on TV ONE. A new initiative's been launched to help boost NZ's dwindling rural health workforce. Over the next three years, 170 top health students will work side by side in a remote region where the need is greatest, and it's hoped one day they'll return for good. Health reporter Lorelei Mason explains. WOMAN SINGS IN MAORI Te Puia Springs, rural Poverty Bay, Ngati Porou country, population 400. SINGING CONTINUES For the next five weeks, Te Puia and Gisborne will be home to these eight young health students, the first from Otago University's new multi-disciplinary rural immersion programme. They each come from different areas of health ` medicine, physio, dentistry, pharmacy and nursing. The aim: for them to work together as a team to serve this community. I'm Phoebe. I'm a medical student here. Rural immersion's long been an element of junior doctor training, but not the other disciplines. Now we're just going to bend your knee up. The idea: to teach the students the importance of working side by side together in a rural setting. A lot of research is showing where health-care professionals come together and train as a team, then we get better health outcomes as a result. For students like Phoebe Shearman, it's a first-time exposure to rural medicine, let alone hauora Maori. I wasn't brought up around sort of a Maori upbringing, so I just wanted to learn. Health statistics here are the poorest in the country. Many patients struggle to access the likes of dental care. Coming to Gisborne really opened my eyes and really showed me that there are so many people that have such a need. Diabetes, obesity and heart disease are endemic. What's your blood pressure normally like? For nursing student Daniella Sheridan, the rewards and the learning have been immediate. The warmth that you get from the people ` they're just so thankful. It's something that you don't get in the busier ward type placements. The students are grateful for the opportunity. I really want to get out there and sort of network and meet people out in the communities cos I'm gonna be out nursing soon, so this is the perfect opportunity. All right, and make a fist like this. Others say they might well be back one day. If i love it, of course I'll head down the sort of GP rural route, so we'll see. This community for one would welcome that. Lorelei Mason, ONE News. Looking at our top stories tonight ` kiwifruit growers who broke the law by injecting vines with antibiotics have not been prosecuted. A ONE News investigation revealed their bid to save plants infected with the PSA disease. The kiwifruit industry says growers have suffered enough already. Others say they put the whole industry at risk. The bunting is out and the Union Jacks are flying as Britons prepare for four days of celebrations for the Queen's diamond jubilee. Early this morning, a full dress rehearsal of the procession to Buckingham Palace took place. Jubilee celebrations are getting under way around this country too. And while some have been tucking in to their cucumber sandwiches, as James Ransley discovered, not all young Kiwis are up on our long-standing British ties. Bunting, bowls and badminton ` the British cultural feast is in full swing on Auckland's waterfront. Trying to celebrate it by drinking a lot of tea and eating a lot of scones. Relishing a taste of the old country, Kiwis toasted the Queen for her diamond jubilee. In the capital, a spot of baking for Blighty. Te Papa Museum played host to kids with a culinary flair. I'm going to decorate it. In the 60 years since the Queen's coronation, NZ's come a long way. We've more than doubled our population since 1952, but the percentage of British immigrants has dropped dramatically. So is our Britishness becoming a thing of the past? Do you know who this lady is? Um, no. It's the Queen of England. Very good. Do you know what her first name is? Mm-mm. The Queen's jubilee is like a big concert where all the famous people come together and sing on the stage and stuff. How do you know that? Um, because I saw them on TV. For the next few days, Britain's jubilee festivities will be broadcast around the globe. But for now, these Kiwi kids are quite happy with their high tea. James Ransley, ONE News. And now here's Jenny-May with sport. Roger Federer is struggling at the French Tennis Open. We've the latest results from Roland Garros after the break. Plus the difference between the pretenders and the real deal ` 33 points. Fake it till you make it ` the Celtics slam it home against LeBron's Heat. And he's affectionately known as Yoda ` the former All Black who's living up to his nickname. I believed in her. I knew that she'll pull out of it; she'll recover. She must have been the only one who thought that... (LAUGHS) at the time. At the time. (CHUCKLES) Cos I didn't. I didn't think that at the time. Cos I didn't. I didn't think that at the time. Oh, I did. Yeah. Yeah. I knew she would recover. I honestly don't know what it is that I did to empower her. Really, it was` I was just a friend. Just being a friend. And I don't wanna steal her glory, you know, because, damn, she did it herself. (LAUGHS) Kia ora. Welcome back. Irish eyes won't be smiling when they see the replay of the All Black-stacked Crusaders walloping the Highlanders 51-18 in Christchurch last night. The tourists were in the air en route as the men in red and black turned on an irresistible display of total rugby. Martin Tasker reports. One-way traffic for the first two minutes, 44 seconds ` a sign of what lay ahead. George Whitelock has it, and a strong drive, and he's there. Dan Carter made light work of the conversion, only to set alarm bells ringing after slotting a penalty from just inside the halfway line. Bit of a grimace. Yeah, there was a grimace afterwards. That's not a good sign. At this stage the Highlanders were still well in it, capitalising on the Crusaders being a man down in the sin bin. Whips it away ` Ellison. Oh, got rid of Crotty. Ellison. Tamati Ellison scores a big try for the Highlanders. The Crusaders then made the most of James Haskell's sin-binning to set up the first of a Zac Guildford brace. That's lovely work. Here's MacDonald. Got it off to Guildford. All the pace you could ask for. He will be too quick, I would imagine. And... Zac Guildford. Carter's right boot was the catalyst, with the delicate bouncing ball behind the line. The maestro repeated the tactic minutes later to the same effect. And a kick in behind. Guildford again. The right leg is clearly in top nick. And judging by the quality of the touch-line conversion, his left leg is warming to the task. Oh, beautiful. And plenty of practice is still to come with the Crusaders carving up the Highlanders almost at will to be 32-13. Up at the breakthrough, Ryan Crotty. And they are starting to run riot here, the Crusaders. The half-time stats had the Crusaders 24-2 in pick and go, with the Highlanders having to make 60 tackles to 35 while still failing to stem the tide. The ball moved through 12 sets of hands for try number five. McCaw chasing after it. And I think McCaw might have got a hand on it. The sixth and seventh forward rumbles. And they're spinning, twisting. And to the line they go. Carter took it past 50 with no apparent ill effects. Yet more to dull Irish eyes. Martin Tasker, ONE News. Roger Federer admits he's struggled to make it through to the fourth round at Roland Garros after a tough four-setter against Nicolas Mahut. But as Kimberlee Downs explains, all the big names are through. Roger Federer's road to round four should've been clinical ` the world number three and 16-time grand slam champion against a man ranked 86 places below him. I'm speechless. This is Frenchman Nicolas Mahut stole his first-ever set in four matches against the Swiss maestro and showing the grit that made him famous for his 20-10 defeat to John Isner in the longest match of all time. He hangs tough. An upset was not on the cards though. Federer was more relieved than happy to claim his 235th win at a grand slam. He'll be hoping for an easier task when he faces unseeded David Goffin (21) in round four, needing to take out the 109th ranked qualifier to make his 31st consecutive grand slam quarter final. CROWD CHEERS No such struggles for world number one Novak Djokovic, who raced past Frenchman Nicolas Devilder. The Serb's bid to become the first man since Rod Laver to hold all four grand slams simultaneously was well intact. Home favourite Jo-Wilfried Tsonga was the one bright spot for the French ` progressing at the expense of italy's Fabio Fognini. In the women's singles 2009 champion Svetlana Kuznetsova made the fourth round, along with favourite Victoria Azarenka. Maria Sharapova in the mix as well, dropping only two games in her second round match to take another step towards that elusive Roland Garros title. Kimberlee Downs, ONE News. The Boston Celtics have delivered on their home court, claiming game three in the NBA's Eastern Conference Finals against the Miami Heat. Kevin Garnett was the Celtics' top scorer with 24 points and 11 rebounds, showing he's more than just a baller, but it was Rondo that stole the show. Rondo with a fake. Oh, what a beauty. Rondo! CROWD CHEERS 'The King' Le Bron James was not to be outdone with 34 points. Here's James quickly down the other end. And James banks it in with a foul. But it wasn't enough. Final score 101-91. Miami lead the best-of-seven series 2-1. Manly has moved to third on the NRL points ladder after snapping a four-game losing streak against their bogey team, St George. It was a two-point ball game for most of the second half. The Sea Eagles only confirmed their 20-8 victory in the final 10 minutes. Cherry-Evans on the break. Stewart, look out. Stewart... Oldfield's got a hat-trick! The Titans have their first home-win in six matches after beating the Cowboys at Skilled Park. Throws the dummy back on the inside. It counts. It's almost there. I think they score! The 28-12 win moves them up to 12th. Tiger Woods has shown glimpses of his former self in the second round of the latest PGA Tour event in Ohio. The world number nine is just one shot off the lead at the Memorial after a round playing shots like this. Wham, bam, thank you, Sam. Just outside of a foot. Shot of the day, though, belongs to 2002 champion Jim Furyk. Third shot at the second. CROWD CHEERS Will it come down? It does. Rory Sabbatini is clubhouse leader at six under. The All Whites have taken their first steps on the road to qualifying for the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil. They've beaten Fiji 1-0 in their opening match of the Oceania Tournament in the Solomon islands. New captain Tommy Smith got his first international goal. But it was Fiji who impressed after that, coming close to scoring several times. World Cup hero Mark Paston saved NZ from a first-up disaster. The All Whites' next match is against Papua New Guinea on Monday. The most controversial boxer in the world is tonight spending his first night behind bars. The crowd barriers were unnecessary as Floyd Mayweather Jr turned himself in at a Las Vegas courtroom. The eight-time world champion was accompanied by controversial rapper 50 Cent. Mayweather is inside for 90 days after being convicted of assaulting a former girlfriend. Just three weeks after a triumphant return to the City of Sails, NZ's most successful ocean-racing yacht is back in action, lining up for the Auckland-Noumea race today. Big Red is already fulfilling its promise to take novices offshore. Martin Tasker reports. Leaving the Viaduct Harbour to race out of Auckland for the first time since 1990, Big Red carries a crew of ocean sailing haves and have-nots. The whole premise of the NZ Sailing Trust is about giving people experiences, and, of course, these boats, because they were built for offshore, that's what we want to do. The novices covered a considerable age range ` from 56 to 25. Well, this is actually something that I've got on my bucket list, so it's an opportunity that I couldn't miss. < Have you done this sort of thing before? No, I've never done ocean sailing before, so, yes, all of that, I suppose. Some trepidation, but hopefully it's not too rough out there. < How are your sea legs? We'll find out. (LAUGHS) Despite its age, Big Red is still competitive, especially on handicap. It's going to be hard against some of the new guys, that's for sure, but, yeah, no, if we can bank the age allowance, we'll be in good shape. The Auckland-built maxi Beau Geste is the favourite monohull for line honours in what should be a good scrap with the Coastal Classic record-breaking trimaran team Vodafone. It's a pretty new boat. She's going to keep us honest. In this light air, we'll be lucky to hang on to her. The light air is due to turn heavy and on the nose. Everyone's going to break a good amount of stuff in this race, so all the teams are probably thinking long and hard about spares and equipment. At least they're leaving winter. Two days out of NZ ` it's much warmer, so it does make it a bit more bearable, even if the weather is not so good. 1000 miles to go. Martin Tasker, ONE News. Finally in sport ` a story about a former All Black prop affectionately known as Yoda, who's now a Jedi master of the set piece. So it's no surprise, as Stephen Stuart discovered, that with all that wisdom, Greg Somerville is being fast-tracked into coaching. Crouch, touch... Having heard those words thousands of times, Greg Somerville is now calling the shots. You can't scrum on the field any more and just help your youngsters. After nine years in the All Blacks, Somerville gained invaluable European and even Australian experience at the end of his career, something the 34-year-old wants to pass on. It's hard to lose that part of your life, so it's keeping it` I think that's why you're seeing guys returning and contributing back. Guys like former All Black teammates Kees Meeuws, who's with the Highlanders, and Carl Hoeft, who was helping the All Blacks out last week. Their transition is no surprise to the godfather of front-row coaching. Joined at the hip, really, I suppose, those boys, and it's bloody good, you know. I've coached them all the way through. The Canterbury quakes prompted Somerville to resettle elsewhere and find work in the rural sector. Oh, it's been a hell of a learning curve. I'm working at PGG Wrightson's in Kumeu there and just serving customers and just knowing what it is like to do a day job. And by night, rookie coach. But he's got the knowledge base, which is always a great start. < Is he a good listener too? Absolutely. Of course. Of course, or he wouldn't be here. (LAUGHS) His mentor has no doubts he'll make it. Yeah, I always knew he'd be a great coach. Somerville just hopes he doesn't get the coaching curse. You must be new to this. You've still got hair. > Yeah, I know. Thankfully. I'd hate to see the size of my head without hair on it. For now he's all ears, soaking up his new challenge. Stephen Stuart, ONE News. Thanks, Jenny-May. After the break ` Karen says there could be some heavy rain on the way for parts of the South Island overnight. The settled weather is coming to an end as our high starts to weaken. Some rain is moving in, and there could be some heavy falls tonight and tomorrow morning around Fiordland and southern Westland. High pressure over the North Island kept the skies mostly clear. Just some lower cloud in the Tasman brushing western coastline. There was some drizzle mixed in with that cloud south of Taranaki. Some scrappy cloud over the lower South Island. Some bright bands of high cloud spreading east. It's looking a lot more congested in the Tasman. Fronts and troughs are stirring things up. A cold front is heading for the South Island. There's much colder air in behind it. These are clusters of active shower cloud. Our high weakens and retreats slowly eastward tomorrow, allowing the fronts to move in. The cold front is the main player, dragging some rain up the South Island and then on to the lower North Island late in the day. Another ridge squeezes in behind it. That'll help clear the skies again. Frontal rain sweeps up over the South Island. Some snow flurries in the south above 800m. North-west winds ahead of the front. A colder south-western and gradually clearing skies in behind. Mostly fine in the east and around Northland.. Cloudy areas everywhere else with some drizzle south of Auckland, to rain in the afternoon around Levin and the Kapiti Coast. A freshening northerly in the south and light wind in the north, but then a late southerly change brings some rain into southern districts.
