Good evening, everyone. A polar rodent has set its sights on the South Island, and it's en route to make a three-pronged attack. Get the thermals ready. It's bound to be a shivery start to the working week. 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 Bernardine Oliver-Kerby. Tonight ` dangerous drivers. The potential killers who keep getting drunk and behind the wheel. We reveal the shocking figures. A bullet hole; and new evidence is disclosed as police continue their hunt for a man and his companion after an officer was shot at. The dazzling and spectacular light show over the skies of NZ gets international recognition. And Savea attack ` a breakthrough debut as the new All Black winger leaves the Irish grasping in his wake. Kia ora. Good evening. The worst drink drivers are continuing to put you and your families at risk on our roads. ONE News has obtained worrying figures showing it's those repeat offenders with the longest list of convictions who keep getting busted, boozed behind the wheel. While drink-driving figures last year were the lowest in four years, the number of people with eight or more convictions is the highest in a decade. Lisa Owen has the exclusive details, and joins us now live with more. WE'D LIKE TO THINK PEOPLE ON THE ROADS ARE RESPONSIBLE. THE STATS ARE SCARY. LOOK AT THIS Just blow through the tube as firmly as you can. I'll tell you when to stop. Overall, we may be putting the brakes on drink driving, OK. Unfortunately it indicates that you're on or over the limit for an adult. but a core of repeat offenders is just not getting the message. You have the right to remain silent. You do not have to make any statement. A second test showed this driver to be more than two times the legal limit. He's now looking at his third or subsequent charge for drink driving. We'll come back to the booze bus, but on a random day at the Auckland District Court, ONE News met Iakopo Ulufale, just convicted a third time for drink driving. I'm very embarrassed, and I'm` yeah. I hate myself doing that. Tommy Fleming, also a repeat offender, this his third conviction. And Jarred Wilson has been convicted five times aged just 29. I wasn't pissed out of my mind. The previous charges that had was blowing just over. Actually Wilson blew almost twice the legal limit. My problem is, once I start drinking I can't stop. So, um, my goal now is just not to touch a drop of alcohol at all. A breakdown of convictions provided to ONE News reveals that last year's most persistent drink driver was convicted for the 19th time. You should be concerned, because you're sharing the roads with a small but growing group of repeat offenders. 2011 figures show the number of people with eight or more convictions has jumped up more than 20% on the previous year. When it comes to this hard-core bunch, these are the worst figures in a decade. Has the court ordered you to rehab before, or any alcohol counselling? No. They haven't referred me to it, but I've volunteered to, um, do an alcohol and drug course. At the booze bus, this 20-year-old who is over the limit is on the road to court. I'm a pretty safe driver mostly though. Really? Yeah. He already has three convictions, the first at 17. Why do you keep doing it? > That's a good question. That's a good question. I do not have an answer for that. The other seemingly unanswered question is how to stop drink drivers just like him getting behind the wheel again and again. EXPERTS SAY THERE ARE NOT ENOUGH REHABILITATION COURSES FOR THESE DRIVERS A driver is in a critical condition and another is seriously injured after a crash during the Targa Rotorua rally. The pair had to be cut from their vehicle after it smashed into an underpass barrier near Putaruru. A rescue helicopter airlifted the driver to Waikato Hospital. The passenger was taken to hospital by an ambulance. Motorsport NZ say they're investigating the crash. Police are warning friends and family of the man who shot at a police officer that they'll be prosecuted if caught helping him. A photo has been released of the woman who was driving the car Murray Taleafoa was a passenger in. The bullet that barely missed hitting a police officer on Friday morning, ended here. So the shot's come from across the road. It's been fired from the vehicle at the police officer, and it's hit up here. The alleged shooter, Murray Toleafoa, was a passenger in a car driven by Nadia Ball (20. Today police released this photo of her, and shots of the gun holster and a loaded bullet magazine, discovered near the abandoned getaway car. While the police officer is lucky to be alive, it could have been any passerby, whether walking or driving, who... this side of the road, near that vehicle when the shot was fired, could also have been shot. So we're talking about a dangerous person out here who we have not yet found. Both Toleafoa and Ball gave their names to the officer that stopped them, but after the shot was fired, Murray Toleafoa told Nadia Ball to drive off. Mr Toleafoa and Ms Ball, I understand, have known each other for some time. So at present there is no concern for her safety. The officer who was shot at is taking time off work. The officer's doing OK. After a couple of days, the realisation of how close he was to death is starting to bear home on him. And as the hunt continues, police warn anyone found to be helping Toleafoa evade arrest, will be prosecuted. A woman is in critical condition in Christchurch Hospital after being beaten in her home. Police have cordoned off the Linwood house where the woman (41) was found early this morning. She suffered severe head injuries. A man has come forward and is assisting the police investigation. Police are seeking information about a green Toyota Camry believed to be connected to the assault. One of the world's biggest tobacco companies says NZ could face legal action if it goes ahead with plans to ban branding on cigarette packets. The government's agreed to the move in principle, depending on the outcome of a public consultation. In a rare interview, a spokesman for Phillip Morris told TV ONE's Q and A programme that plain packaging will not stop people smoking. There's no evidence it will work, but there is a lot of evidence that it will breach intellectual property treaties and trade treaties that NZ is subject to. Australia has pushed ahead with the move and is being sued by four tobacco companies. It's unlikely kiwifruit growers who may have broken the law by injecting vines with antibiotics will be prosecuted. Up to 62 growers were found to have breached the rules. ONE News has evidence a compromise has been struck that saves lawbreakers from the risk of jail and fines of as much as $150,000. Heather du Plessis-Allan has this exclusive report. It's easy to find evidence of the illegal antibiotic injections in the Bay of Plenty. There seems little reason to hide it ` law-breaking growers know they're unlikely to be prosecuted. It is definitely going too far to say we've struck a deal. ONE News revealed growers, including industry leaders, unlawfully injected the antibiotic streptomycin into their vines. They hoped it would kill off the bacteria PSA that's devastating the local industry. We've now obtained copies of a letter Zespri sent to growers in March. It quotes the Ministry of Primary Industries as saying growers are likely to face 'remedial actions short of prosecution.' We were given copies of this letter by a number of growers. Many of those growers want to see the law breakers punished for, they say, risking the reputation of their industry. Growers were offered a lighter punishment of a formal written warning if they voluntarily admitted using the antibiotics. The Ministry says it chose that option to make sure no contaminated fruit reached markets jittery about antibiotics in the food chain. The best way to do that was to work in cooperation with the industry and get voluntary disclosure. We had a very short time frame from being aware of the potential contamination to when harvest happened. Already, international markets have contacted our authorities for assurances. Some say prosecution is necessary to assure them our laws are enforced. The impression is not good because it might mean that other farmers are doing illegal things as well, and that doesn't look good from outside NZ. It's terribly sad. The Ministry says its method has worked, and none of this contaminated fruit has been sold here or offshore. It says it may yet prosecute if the breach is serious enough. But just what would be serious enough to warrant an action it has all but ruled out? The Ministry won't tell us. The head of Work and Income has quit less than a year after being headhunted for the job. Janet Grossman was recruited from Britain to head one of the government's biggest-spending agencies. The Ministry of Social Development says Ms Grossman's returning to the UK for family reasons, but the Social Workers' Association have speculated that her sudden departure is linked to welfare reforms being pushed through by the government. Helen Clark has paid tribute to the NZ soldiers who lost their lives in Flanders during WWI. The former prime minister returned to the Belgian town of Ypres for the reopening of a museum dedicated to the hundreds who made the ultimate sacrifice. In the town of Ypres in Belgium, hundreds marched in remembrance of those who died in WWI. Among those marching was Helen Clark. I had four great-uncles who did not return from WWI, so I'm very conscious of the impact of WWI on families in NZ. The former PM was the guest of honour at the reopening of the In Flanders Field Museum. Together, some years ago, we visited a few war cemeteries in this area, in Flanders fields. On that day, it became clear to me how the Great War lives on her country. The investment in renewal of this museum is yet further testimony to the desire of people in this region to ensure that what happened here will never be forgotten. # The promise of springs yet to be # Almost 95 years ago, the battle of Passchendaele was this country's bloodiest and worst-ever military disaster. 800 NZ men were killed in one day. The WWI battlefields here in West Flanders were the setting for particularly traumatic events for Nzers, as they were for the people of West Flanders. A region that now honours those who died far from home. Wars of the past have taken such a heavy toll on our country that they had scarred our parents' and our grandparents' generation. Now, with this exhibition, future generations can ensure that sacrifice is never forgotten. The South Island's remote MacKenzie Country has just been named one of the best stargazing sites on Earth. Scientists from around the world are gathering in Tekapo tonight for the International Starlight Conference. As Ana Olykan reoprts, they've kicked off with a big announcement for the small tourist town. Tekapo's Mt John observatory, snowy bright, but its night-sky darkness is now being internationally recognised. It says to the world the Mackenzie has got a night sky that is of great quality. High enough for the worldwide Dark Skies Association to make this area a gold-status reserve. It's the world's largest dark-sky reserve, spanning 4300km, including the Aoraki-Mt Cook National Park and the Mackenzie Basin. The gold status means the skies have almost no light pollution at all. Tekapo introduced controls 30 years ago, directing outdoor lighting downwards. As these NASA images show, over 50% of the world's population can't see stars because of light pollution. The Dark Skies Association aims to change that. Gold places, there are currently only two reserves and just one park in all the world. So that's quite exceptional. It's also a good way to boost astro-tourism. Other reserves have seen immediate increases of 30%. There's an exciting new potential for Tekapo, Mt Cook and the Mackenzie, and we're unique. We hold the best classification in the world. Scientists here for the Starlight Conference want to see interest grow. By seeing and experiencing the dark sky, we can understand more about how people right back into the distant past, understood the world that they lived in, understood their connection to the sky. Campaigners are still aiming for these skies to be named a World Heritage site. This dark-sky designation could help bring that bid to light. Still to come ` Spain's banks get billions in bailout money. The alarming pictures that sparked a neighbour to intervene ` the boy who received a belting for not catching the ball. Home for a quiet birthday, Prince Philip leaves a London hospital. And a spoonful of sugar for musical fans, as the stage show of Mary Poppins is on its way here. At OPSM, we use precision technology to look deep in the eye, helping us better detect eye disease such as glaucoma ` just one of the ways we look deeper. Talk to OPSM about an eye-health check-up today. World leaders are hoping a bailout package for Spain and its struggling banking sector will stop Europe's debt crisis from spreading and weakening the global economy. The 100bn Euro bailout was agreed after emergency talks with Eurozone finance ministers. The BBC's Gavin Hewitt reports. Only a few days ago, the Spanish government said there would be no rescue of the Spanish banks. But tonight the economy minister conceded the Eurozone's fourth largest economy needed help. (SPEAKS SPANISH) TRANSLATOR: The Spanish government declares its intention to request European financing for a recapitalisation of the Spanish banks. There is still an audit underway as to how big the black hole in Spain's banks is. But the Eurozone said they were ready to lend Spain up to 100 billion euros. TRANSLATOR: This amount of 100 billion euros is an absolute maximum, and it includes a very important margin of safety. Spain is now the fourth Eurozone country to seek a bail-out, and by far the largest. It means that over 500 billion euros has now been allocated for Eurozone bail-outs. Greece has had two bail-outs totalling 240 billion euros. Then came Ireland. It received 85 billion euros. Portugal received 78 billion euros. Spain will be able to draw on 100 billion euros, but its bail-out is very different from the others. The Spanish bail-out is not for the country, but just for its financial sector. The government said tonight that the loans would come with few strings attached. There would be none of the tough conditions faced by the other countries. It was a burst property bubble that damaged Spain's banks. They're carrying billions in bad loans, and the risks to Spanish banks were undermining confidence across Europe. For Spain, there is a measure of humiliation, but it came under huge pressure to agree to a rescue, for the Eurozone wants to calm the Spanish crisis before the Greek elections next week. Our finance minister Bill English is welcoming the bailout, and says it makes some kind of economic catastrophe in Europe less likely. Despite the worsening crisis in Syria, Russia says it won't allow the United Nations to allow the use of force to resolve it. A fresh wave of shelling attacks killed at least 17 people overnight, many of them women and children. Russia wants Syria's ally Iran to be part of an international conference to enforce Kofi Annan's peace plan. But Western leaders claim Iran is part of the problem and is helping to arm Syrian forces. Now what would you do, or should you do, if you saw another parent disciplining their child with force? A video in America allegedly showing a stepfather using a belt on his stepson is sparking fresh debate on the issue of smacking. What would you do if you saw a harmless game of catch in someone else's backyard turn terribly wrong? Oscar Lopez from Southern California decided to capture the outrageous scene on video ` a father beating his stepson with a belt because the little kid couldn't catch the ball. After watching blow after blow, Lopez had had enough, and yells for it to stop. At one point you can hear a female voice from inside the room question Lopez for being so nosy. But he's already fired up and ready to confront his neighbour. It turns out that neighbour is Anthony Sanchez (34), an elected official from Imperial County who oversees a powerful water agency in the area. After the video was posted online and sent to police, Sanchez turned himself in on Friday, posting a $100,000 bond. In a strange twist, the little boy's grandparents are defending Sanchez and his character, saying: For his part, Lopez has no regrets about taking action. In a survey completed here two months ago, 81% of parents said they wouldn't report another parent for smacking a child. Severe flash floods have ripped through parts of Wales, forcing at least 1000 people from their homes. More than 150 people had to be rescued by emergency services after they were trapped by floodwaters. Nearly 13cm of rain fell in 24 hours, inundating campgrounds and turning rivers into lakes. Homes were also affected in what some described as a once-in-100-year flood. Renee's here now with the day's weather highlights, and another cold snap on the way? Yes, the south-west flow will tip more southerly tomorrow bringing a cold blast of polar air to the south. Not as much snow, like we had with the last event a few days ago, but lowering to 300m in Southland tomorrow, then 100m Monday night. Now to our weather cameras. For weather, see tvnz.co.nz Still to come ` a source of justice for disgruntled consumers shuts up shop. The Queen's husband walks out of hospital for his birthday. And hold on to your hat ` the flying nanny that's wowing Broadway is coming here. Ripped-off consumers desperate for justice may now have a harder time getting it. The National Enforcement Unit, which goes after those breaching acts like the Motor Vehicle Sales Act and the Companies Act is being disbanded. Sharon Fergusson has more. Blue Chip's Mark Bryars and Bridgecorp's Rod Petricevic were brought to justice by the National Enforcement Unit or NEU. This man should have everything taken off him, and be like me with nothing. Many of Fair Go's targets also faced investigation by the Unit. It's considered a last stop for desperate consumers who feel they've been ripped off. Generally the cops are chasing murderers and rapists, they don't in general go after the people who are on Fair Go. NEU and the Commerce Commission do. If the government's gonna kill the NEU, it's got to put something equally robust in place. But the government says it's not killing the NEU, just restructuring. This week the unit will be disbanded and reabsorbed into the new mega-ministry that'll integrate all these departments. Within that, two investigators from the NEU will go to the Companies Office, two to the Insolvency Office, and two managers will be made redundant. So will the restructure weaken the front line of crime-fighting? There'll be no reduction in our ability to catch crims. We'll have the same number of investigators working on these issues, they'll just be working in a couple of different teams. TradeMe has had a long working relationship with the NEU, particularly policing unlicensed car dealers. TradeMe has about 60,000 motor vehicle listings live on the site at any given time, and it's important for us, where cars are sold by dealers or people who should be licensed that there's an effective enforcement agency out there that can look after the shonky dealers. And look after innocent consumers. Sharon Fergusson, ONE News. Prince Philip has been discharged from hospital just in time to celebrate his 91st birthday. The Queen's husband was taken to hospital six days ago suffering fro a bladder infection which saw him miss many of the Diamond Jubilee celebrations. The BBC's Ben Geoghegan reports. After five days in hospital Prince Philip seemed in good spirits, and nodded when asked if he was looking forward to his 91st birthday tomorrow. He was brought here by ambulance on Monday, suffering from a bladder infection. This morning he thanked the medical staff who've been looking after him. ORCHESTRA PLAYS The last time he was seen in public he appeared to be in a jaunty mood as he joined the royal family to celebrate the Queen's Diamond Jubilee on the River Thames. But it may be that standing in the wind and the rain helped to aggravate an existing infection. CHOIR SINGS The thanksgiving service at St Paul's two days later was one of several events marking the Jubilee which the Queen had to attend without Prince Philip, and it may be that there'll be others. The Duke of Edinburgh will not want to slow down, but this is a sign that he may have to, and the Queen's really going to feel bereft if he's not by her side at public events, but I think this is possibly the monarchy that we're going to see in the future: the Queen, much more of her on her own. This morning Prince Philip was driven to Windsor Castle. His officials say he is recovering well and will continue convalescing at home. The next Jubilee event he's due to attend is a garden party at Sandringham on Tuesday, followed by a series of visits around the country. Prince Philip will be celebrating his birthday privately tomorrow. After that he's supposed to be taking part in a packed programme of events alongside the Queen, but his age and his recent illness may mean that some of his Jubilee plans will have to be rewritten. Last December the Prince underwent a successful operation to clear a blocked coronary artery and was in hospital for four nights over Christmas. She's the original Supernanny, and now the stage version of Mary Poppins is heading here for the first time. Disney is bringing the Broadway hit, and more than the odd spoonful of sugar, to Auckland for a three-month season. Our US correspondent Jack Tame saw the show in New York. # It's supercalifragilisticexpialidocious. # Even though the sound of it is... # ...something quite familiar. Almost 50 years since Julie Andrews first sang that famous word,... # Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious. # ...if you can even call it a proper word, Mary Poppins has become one of the most successful stage musicals in history, taking that tuneful tongue-twister around the world. You'd like to see the production in Dutch, and to hear supercalafragilisticexpeelidocious in Dutch, now, that's tricky. Tricky, but for a story which first began as a series of books in the 1930s, the story of Cherry Tree Lane is surprisingly timeless. We have a banking crisis, an unemployment crisis, and a mother who doesn't know who should be raising her children. It sounds like it was written yesterday. To understand Mary Poppins' success, you have to appreciate just how fickle business on Broadway can be. In the five years since it opened here, almost 200 other Broadway shows have opened and closed. Only 0.3% of all Broadway shows have ever run that long, and the reason it lasts is because of its primary values ` what's inside the story. It's wildly entertaining, but with some kind of meaning. The show will feature a mainly Australian cast, arriving in Auckland to play at the Civic Theatre in October. But be warned. Five decades since we first heard the word, Mary Poppins is still super-catchy. # Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious # But be warned. Five decades since we first heard the word, Mary Poppins is still super-catchy. # Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious # Jack Tame, ONE News, New York. Tickets for the Auckland shows go on sale on Thursday week. Looking at our top stories tonight. A core of repeat drink drivers are ignoring the message not to mix alcohol with driving, according to figures obtained by ONE News. The number of people with eight or more convictions for drink driving is the highest it's been in a decade. Police are still hunting for Murray Toleafoa, after he allegedly shot at a police officer on Friday morning. He was a passenger in a car driven by Nadia Ball (20). Police warn anyone found to be helping Toleafoa evade arrest will be prosecuted. Andrew's here with sport. And the All Blacks impress at Eden Park. We have the wash-up next from the eye-catching start to the Test season. It's like the number 11 never went away, but who impressed Coach Hansen even more? In Brisbane, look who saves more Aussie blushes. Plus has Maria Sharapova silenced her critics for good? And how's this on the same day? Two global superstars go head to head. So who's defeated and who comes out on top? The new All Blacks coaches couldn't have asked for much more. The new era under Steve Hansen has started with an emphatic win over Ireland at Eden Park. The 42-10 victory could be a sign of things to come as new faces stood up and impressed, More than happy with his lot, the day after game one of the post-Cup season. How excited are you by what you saw last night? Yeah, really excited. We played pretty well for a team just coming together. Last night was a big coming together in the big time. Bang with the shoulder. A 21-year-old wing announced his arrival on the Test stage. And on Test debut, Julian Savea gets the first try of the season. That was followed by a strong finish for the second. Then Savea became the first All Black to score a hat-trick against Ireland. Savea's lining up Dagg. Might have to do it himself. No. Savea. In the shed afterwards, the thing I praised him about was not the three tries, it was the first kick Dan Carter put down the line, and they ran back at him, and Julian just smashed them. The barnstorming backs had their forward pack to thank. They took charge of the plucky Irish during the first half, and were rewarded in the second. But seeking improvements for the second Test. It's a step up from what we've had in Super rugby. The Irish put a lot of heat on the breakdown. But they couldn't get close to new halfback Aaron Smith in an impressive debut, from his first anthem to that bullet pass. Israel Dagg's running freedom returned on the counter-attack, and Dan Carter looks to be back better than ever. Ohhhh, what a kick. Defensively, the All Blacks were miserly on attack. Anything but: double the ball carries, close to 130, with Sonny Bill's midfield barges and too many attacking weapons. A short pass. There are still aspects to work on, and expect a few changes next weekend, but it's a quality start from a new-look team. The thing that pleased me most of all, was not the debutants, it was actually the leaders in our team and our senior players. Unless the Irish pull something out of their trick bag, the series could be a wiping, after a 42-10 defeat. Wallabies coach Robbie Deans must be breathing easier after his team saw off Six Nations champions Wales just four days after an embarrassing loss to Scotland. The Welsh gave Will Genia more room to move than the Scots did, his try soon after the break taking Australia to a 14-point lead. Will Genia! Try! A Welsh revival had them camped in Wallaby territory, ending in a sparkling try to winger Alex Cuthbert. Australia finished strongest though, Genia feeding McCabe for the clincher. Australia 27-19 Wales. In Durban, the Springboks maintained their dominance over England, giving new coach Heyneke Meyer the perfect start. The England defence line on the short side... Morne Steyn with a shot, and scores! The Boks put the match away 20 minutes from time, de Villiers finishing the move. The final score was South Africa 22, England 17. The South Island team has beaten the North 32-24 in a one-off fundraising rugby match in Dunedin. Representing the South through his Highlanders franchise, fullback Kurt Baker was a standout. Now a chance... on the inside to Kurt Baker! Try! Baker ended up with 17 points. The South scored five tries to three. Russian glamour girl Maria Sharapova has shown once again that she has tennis substance. Her 6-3, 6-2 win at the French Open makes Sharapova the 10th woman in history to take all four Grand Slam titles. Blair Norton reports. With five French Open titles between them, Martina Navratilova and Monica Seles have celebrated plenty at Roland Garros. Though wearing a little black dress, it was clear Maria Sharapova was determined to make this final her party. APPLAUSE There was little Italian Sara Errani could do with Sharapova finding her range almost immediately and going out to a 4-0 lead. That's incredible hitting from Sharapova there. Errani showed glimpses of the form that saw her topple three grand-slam champions en route to the final. APPLAUSE The hard-hitting world number one was a much tougher proposition ` simply not allowing Errani to settle, closing out the first set 6-3. Well executed that one. It's been eight years since Sharapova won her first grand-slam title, and four since her last. The 25-year-old is now a more complete clay-court player. Slides into that. Gets the balance and knocks it off down the line. Errani put up a plucky fight, and looked good varying things up. Showing good touch there, Errani. Sharapova was dominant from the baseline, and showed she's now much more than that. Good movement from Sharapova. Straight up to it. And on her third match point, she secured her position in history. Sharapova has achieved her own personal grand slam. The world's number one player looks hungry for more. Blair Norton, ONE News. The European Football Championship's 'Pool of Death' looks like it could live up to its name for at least one of the top teams. Michael Krohn-Dehli's goal turned Group B on its head as Denmark secured a surprise 1-0 victory over the Dutch. Krohn-Dehli, little swing of the hips... Would you believe it?! It's the Danes with the sucker punch. And Michael Krohn-Dehli opens the scoring. As expected, Pool B favourites Germany got the victory over Cristiano Ronaldo's Portugal. Mario Gomez headed home the only goal of the game, just as he was about to be substituted. Newcastle league fans have booed Wayne Bennett's side off the paddock after they fell to a fired-up Canberra in the NRL. The Raiders out to a 12-point lead after 10 minutes. Joel Thompson getting Canberra's second. Willie Mason's first try for the Knights getting them back in the game. Moses. Straight through them. The Knights just four points adrift, but two last quarter Canberra tries sank them. The Raiders winning the boil-over 32-16. And in Sydney, the Roosters are looking to upset second-placed Brisbane who were missing five stars to State of Origin. The Broncos kept one try ahead to take a four-point lead into the break. Brisbane caught the Chooks off-guard to score again after the restart. Skipper Alex Glenn with the try, and the Broncos put it out of reach with a nice bounce off the post. The try to Norman. Final score Brisbane 34, the Sydney Roosters 22. The Miami Heat have prevailed over the Boston Celtics and will represent the East in the NBA basketball finals against Oklahoma. The deciding Game 7 was tied going into the fourth quarter until the Heat's all-star trio of Chris Bosh, LeBron James and Dwayne Wade sealed the win. James fires a three... Bang! LeBron James from well beyond the arc. Wade... clutch shot draws the foul, that's good and one. LeBron James again led the scoring with 31 points and 12 rebounds in the Heat's 101-88 win. The finals start on Wednesday in Oklahoma City. How's this for bizarre? World boxing champion and Celtics fan Manny Pacquaio delayed the start to his welterweight title fight today so he could watch the end of the basketball. Pacquaio took on unbeaten American Timothy Bradley in Las Vegas, the even 12-round fight going the distance. And the winner by split decision... ...a new WBA welterweight champion of the world... The unheralded Bradley scored the shock split decision. It's Pacquaio's 4th loss in 60 pro fights, and his first in seven years. Our 470 sailors have finished tops in their last dress rehearsal on the Olympic course at Weymouth in the South of England. Jo Aleh and Polly Powrie's eventful third in the medal race was good enough for a second gold medal, and the skipper was happy with their progress. I guess it just hopefully means we're on track. You know, we've still got a lot to work on, but it's good to sail here and get used to conditions again and just get more time here before the Games. Paul Snow-Hansen and Jason Saunders won bronze in the men's event. It boosts NZ's chances at the venue in less than two months' time. Team NZ still has a mathematical shot at honours in the Volvo Ocean Race, but Camper's slim chance just got slimmer after a disappointing in-port race in Lisbon. The Kiwi boat was in the lead on a challenging river course until being passed by overall leader Groupama from France. Camper came home third. Today's probably not as much doom and gloom as what people think. Uh, third today is` obviously we wanted more, but it could have been a whole lot worse, as we've seen. Two ocean legs and two in-port races remain before the race ends at Galway in Ireland enxt month. Scott Dixon had the best car in today's Indycar race in Texas, but the driver was not at his best. After leading for much of the race, Dixon lost concentration with 55 laps to go. Dixon unhurt, he's still second overall championship. The race was won by mid-ranked Justin Wilson from Graham Rahal. Thanks, Andrew. After the break ` stack the woodbox. Renee says a polar blast is headed our way. And the blind leading the blind ` we meet a woman who hasn't let a disability stop her helping others. Hi, everyone. The south-westerly flow over the country brought showers to western parts and clear skies to the east. Mostly clear skies over NZ, with only a few speckled shower clouds in the south-west flow. There's a frontal band approaching the far south, bringing the first wave of cold air. It's a triple whammy attack of three cold fronts ` cold, colder, coldest. The first front moves up the South Island overnight, reaching Wellington after midday. The second brushes east of the mainland during tomorrow afternoon. And the last one nears the Southland coast in the evening. Meantime, a massive high moves on to the south Tasman Sea, and a low deepens off the coast of Queensland. For weather, see tvnz.co.NZ For weather, see tvnz.co.NZ And that is your weather. Rug up warm and enjoy the rest of your evening. When an accident involving bleach ruined the eyesight of tonight's Good Sort, it didn't mean she couldn't stop helping others. Aucklander Betty Minchinton is legally blind. She can't read or drive, but she can help others in much the same boat. Hadyn Jones with tonight's Good Sort. Betty and Gerald Minchinton walk hand in hand. It's affection and direction all at the same time. Going up and down steps is a bit difficult if they are not your own steps. Three or four times a week, Betty does house calls. Today it's Mrs Meecham, who is legally blind. Her problem is sitting on her coffee table. It's name is Daisy. It reads to her, is only she could use it. I don't know about this machine. Betty does the teaching. If they are speaking too quickly, you press it at the bottom. Gerald drives and takes notes, but Betty's the expert. RECORDER: The Firm by John Grisham. Oh, John Grisham, he's good. Because she's also legally blind and knows how frustrating it is when the man in the box won't read to her. I think it makes a difference because we are the same. Yep. Just lay here and listen to it, and I don't go to sleep because they are usually pretty good stories. Betty and Gerald have been married 60 years, and after every training session, they go for a date at their local hamburger joint. Gerald has the eyesight so he orders. I can see what they are, but I can't do the reading. And it's over a Mc-something we learn how Betty lost most of her eyesight 14 years ago. It was Christmas morning. I was ironing in the kitchen. Suddenly I saw all these ants climbing up the wall. I picked up the bleach and sprayed it everywhere. So Gerald has stepped up and drives the love of his life everywhere, even home to Henderson where they relive old times in domestic harmony. That's my wife and my bicycle. That's not your bicycle. It's mine. This one is of our wedding day. The secret of 60 years of marriage is simple, they say. We fight. We don't give in. We don't argue. We just say what we think, and then sorry. Betty is 90 and determined to keep helping others as long as Gerald keeps driving and paying for their dates. That's romance. Hadyn Jones, ONE News.
