Good evening, everyone. Bitterly cold south-westerlies are whipping through Invercargill, making their way north. As the week wears on frosts are expected to become widespread. Wrap up ` there's a chill in the air. 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 Simon Dallow and Wendy Petrie. Tonight ` farm rivalry. he had a hot and cold relationship with Scott Guy. What else did accused Ewen MacDonald tell a witness about shotguns? Charged and bailed after a police officer was shot at ` but the hunt continues for an armed and dangerous criminal. The repeat drink drivers endangering lives ` we reveal what should be done to keep them off our roads. And Lady Gaga's NZ concerts end with a real bang, but she uses her head, and the show continues. Kia ora, good evening. Prosecutors are painting a picture of rivalry, jealousy and a competitive relationship between murdered farmer Scott Guy and his alleged killer. Ewen MacDonald is accused of shooting his brother-in-law dead on the Guy family's Feilding farm almost two years ago. Rebecca Edwards has been in court. Week two of the trial, and murder accused Ewen Macdonald's relationship with his brother-in-law Scott Guy is under close examination, with one witness who'd worked on the farm describing it as 'hot and cold'. In the early days, one would get a tattoo and the other would get a tattoo or one of the parties would get a new car and the other would get a new car, and the competition to be better than the other person. Andrew Short told the court of one instance when he was looking for Mr Guy and was told by Ewen Macdonald he was probably 'skiving off somewhere'. But he admitted there was nothing about the relationship that greatly concerned him. And on any other day, did he say anything to you about Scott? Not that I can remember. Ewen MacDonald's accused of using a shotgun to kill Mr Guy at the entrance of the family farm nearly two years ago. The Crown claims Macdonald's motive for killing him was jealousy because of tensions over the property. A farm consultant said the men started off as good friends, but their relationship 'soured' as MacDonald become more involved in running the farm. Just less` less of a positive attitude towards Scott. Simon Redmond told the court that in the months after the killing, Ewen Macdonald made comments about Mr Guy being braver than most when he died. He said Macdonald had also told him that shotguns weren't traceable, but under cross examination... Nothing that Ewen Macdonald had ever said to you gave you cause to consider that he was linked to Scott Guy's murder, is that fair? Yes. Farm worker BJ Worthington said Macdonald had agreed that the killer was a coward and said that he should face a death sentence. Cos a life for a life seems fair. Another farm worker who also took the stand gave evidence that while rivalry between the pair was noticeable, it didn't appear to be major. Rebecca Edwards, ONE News. A Hastings man who killed his girlfriend's baby because the 5-month-old disturbed him while he was playing a video game has been jailed for nine years. Trent Hapuku was found guilty of manslaughter after a second trial. The High Court in Napier heard he assaulted Mikara Reti last year when he was distracted while on his PlayStation. Mikara died of internal bleeding after a blow to his stomach. Auckland police are warning motel owners to be on alert, as they believe an armed gunman has been hiding out in city motels while on the run. Murray Toleafoa is wanted for allegedly firing a pistol at an officer. A woman believed to have been with him at the time is tonight out on bail after being captured. Donna-Marie Lever with developments. Police are closing in on Murray Toleafoa, the man they say pulled the trigger on a pistol pointed at one of their own. The bullet missed and he fled, but police have now tracked him to city motels, where they believe he's been hiding with associates. We just want to put a message out there to moteliers to be vigilant in terms of who they're taking in, because there'll be law-abiding citizens staying at the motels, and we've got a dangerous armed man out there who we still have not found. But police have found the alleged driver. Nadia Ball (20) appeared in court charged with unlawful possession of a pistol. She's on bail until next month. But ONE News understands Nadia Ball was found by police by accident. A vigilant officer had seen a woman climb into the boot of a car and be covered by a blanket, then he became suspicious. It's understood that when back-up arrived the car was stopped and she was arrested. The same fate awaits Toleafoa. We will get him, and I appeal to Murray Toleafoa ` make this easy, give yourself up. We want this investigation to end safely. The pair are both thought to have connections to the Tribesman gang, and police say anyone found helping to hide Toleafoa will also be dealt with by the law. Donna-Marie Lever, ONE News. Urgent moves are needed to get repeat drink-drivers off our roads. Last night ONE News revealed the worst offenders just keep hitting the booze and endangering lives. Now experts are calling for a complete overhaul of the system. They say it's flawed and disqualified drink drivers who get their licences back are still reoffending at high rates. Lisa Owen's been investigating. Here's the second part of her exclusive report. Drink-driving is the equivalent of Russian roulette on our roads. There is usually about 300 instances of crash-free drink-driving just to generate one conviction. Figures revealed to ONE News show the number of people with eight or more drink-driving convictions jumped more than 20% last year. How many times have you been disqualified now? I think it's about four times now. Drivers who have multiple convictions can be disqualified indefinitely. But that actually means just one year and one day after the disqualification, they can start the process of getting their licence back. To do that, they have to pass a drug and alcohol assessment. Among other things, these guidelines say an assessor should consider the results of an offender's liver function test, drinking habits and their motivation to change, previous convictions and whether they've had any treatment. But some critics says the guidelines are too loose and even offenders know it. They get to know how to manipulate the system. They get to know what they need to do to get their driver's licence back. In fact, new research revealed to ONE News shows just how these indefinitely disqualified drivers are doing when back on the roads. Unfortunately, reoffending rates of people going through that assessment process are round about 30%. That's no better than drivers who haven't been screened. The assessment process needs to be completely overhauled, because right now it does not work. Roger Brooking says indefinitely disqualified drivers wanting another licence should meet far stricter guidelines: abstain from alcohol for a year; have no further convictions of any sort during that time. If convicted a fourth time, the alcohol-free period would go up to two years. Drink-drivers with five or more convictions could be disqualified for 10 years and be forbidden from owning a car for the decade unless they have extensive counselling. And provided the assessment process is toughened up... I don't think anybody should get their licence back without seeing an alcohol and drug counsellor. Absolutely, I think that should be mandatory. Some hope this new research may drive a change in relicensing policy. Lisa Owen, ONE News. Surgeons have amputated the leg of a NZ rally driver following a crash in the Targa Rotorua rally yesterday. Stuart Scoular was airlifted to Waikato Hospital after the smash near Putaruru. His right leg was amputated below the knee, and he's now in a stable condition. Mr Scoular's brother Bret received minor injuries in the crash. The Prime Minister admits he and other ministers must take some responsibility for failing to win over parents with their plan to increase class sizes. In the past hours, John Key has fronted up to the media after his overseas trip. Political editor Corin Dann was there and joins us now live. 45 MINUTES THE PM FACED QUESTION DOMINATED BY EDUCATION AND POLLS THE COLMAR BRUNTON POLL SHOWS THAT SUPPORT FORT EH GOVERNMENT HAS TAPERED OFF HE STILL DEFENDED THE EDUCATION POLICY BUT ACCEPTS THE GOVERNMENT DIDN'T SELL IT WELL I think all members of Cabinet would accept that we could have done a better job in the particular programme, in that particular policy. Uh, there are some lessons to learn from that. HE ALSO TALKED ABOUT EUROPE, SAYING IT WOULD 'MUDDLE THROUGH'. I ASKED IF HE THOUGH NZ NEEDED TO CHANGE COURSE AFTER WHAT HE'D SEEN HE DIDN'T MENTION ANYTHING, BUT SIAD HE FELT POSITIVE ABOUT NZ'S ECONOMY BUT IT'S ANYONE'S GUESS WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN IN EUROPE John Key's remaining stubborn about old age, saying he'll resign rather than raise the threshold at which you can collect the pension. New research shows there'd need to be a big hike in taxes in the future if the superannuation age stays at 65. Political reporter Michael Parkin explains. On the streets of Lower Hutt, some struggle to decide which should be raised. If the government had to choose between raising taxes or raising the retirement age, which do you think they should do? That's actually a hard question. Which do you think they should do? Oh, can they do a bit of both? It's a question investment and insurance experts at the Financial Services Council say the government needs to address. The council says to keep paying out the pension at 65, taxes would need to increase by 28% by 2070. The people who will be retiring in 2050 or receiving pensions in 2080 are already working, so those people need to know how much do I have to save? What can I reasonably expect from the government? Its study shows Kiwis used to live 15 to 20 years after retiring. But that could extend out to 40 years, as we're living on average two years longer each decade. The research says of all those born today, 44% of males will make it to 100 years of age and over half of the females will reach the milestone. This year the government will spend $9.5b on superannuation, but John Key still refuses to budge on the retirement age. Nothing I've seen would indicate a change prior to 2020 is necessary. The Prime Minister's said he'd resign rather than raise it. If he was to change his mind on superannuation, we would not politic on it. We would sit down and have a genuine cross-party discussion that I think would lead to a good solution for NZ. But clearly John Key isn't ready for that kind of discussion. Michael Parkin, ONE News. Taupo residents have joined a growing number of angry ratepayers around the country frustrated over proposed big rate hikes. The Taupo District Council says it's trying to tackle tough times, but disgruntled locals aren't buying it. Nicole Bremner reports. Taupo's old guard are fronting up to its rate-raising enemy. You took no notice of 8000 signatures from rate payers. It's the second time in as many months that ratepayers have taken the council on over its long-term plan that includes a capital value rating system. It's already an expensive place to live, and putting rates up is just going to make it more so for families. I think in a way I'm fortunate I've got cancer. I've got a couple of years to live. I'll be out of here shortly and I won't have to worry about it any more. The new system will cut commercial rates while hiking those of home-owners. On our older community on fixed incomes this is actually quite dramatic, because some of them will now be paying up to six weeks of their pension just to pay their rates to the council here. The local auto electrician is not happy either. We've had a thing that's worked for many years, and it's worked fine. And now we get a system that's being changed for the detriment of others, and benefit of some. Taupo joins a growing list of communities disgruntled by recent rates hikes tagged to large infrastructure projects. Mangawhai residents were stung by a proposed 30% increase in April to cover the cost of a new sewerage scheme. Cantabrians threatened revolt amid fears of a steep hike, and there's bitter division in Dunedin over the council's involvement with the Forsyth Barr stadium. One local-government expert says there's a simple reason our rates keep rising ` the government's contribution to local infrastructure funding is one of the lowest the OECD, meaning small communities are often left footing very large bills. In Taupo that means the council will hold its tough line. It says there's work to do, and someone's got to pay for it. Nicole Bremner, ONE News. Some dairy farmers are leaving Fonterra as the battle heats up over a controversial share scheme. A group opposed to the plan's sent letters to all the co-op's farmers, urging them to vote against it. Sarah Batley reports. It's time to pick up the milk at this Taranaki dairy farm, but it's not going to Fonterra, after this farmer sold his shares and switched companies. He says he made the move in part because of the new trading scheme. It's really about just the fact of introducing in new investors who` their interests are not necessarily aligned with farmers. But supporters of the Trading Among Farmers Scheme say outside investment is needed for the company to expand and to provide a buffer when markets or growing conditions go bad. The main driver of TAF is to effectively use that capital to improve farmer returns and to grow our presence in the world. But opponents of the scheme say outside investors will want bang for their buck. If you have an investor in a co-op who is not a farmer, the investor will want dividend and they will want to maximise their share price. The simplest and most obvious way to do that is to put downward pressure on the raw material, on the milk price. She says that won't mean consumers will pay any less for their milk, and it will also have an impact on the wider economy. If we break up Fonterra, NZ will be worse off. That's why it's important farmers maintain ownership and control. But Fonterra says there are enough measures in place to protect farmers, and outside investors won't influence milk pricing. The one thing both sides agree on is that it's not good for Fonterra if farmers leave. Our real strength is our collective might of all the farmers. Farmers are due to vote on the scheme later this month. Sarah Batley, ONE News. Pop sensation Lady Gaga's tonight on her way to Australia after ending her NZ tour with a bang. LOUD POP MUSIC PLAYS During her final gig at Auckland's Vector Arena last night, one of her dancers accidently dropped a pole on her head. After a quick rub, the show must go on, as they say.

There's relief in Spain following news of a eurozone bailout for its cash-strapped banks. The announcement's been hailed as a victory for the European common currency, but some are questioning whether it's a long-term solution. The BBC's Gavin Hewitt reports. The Spanish were packing their squares tonight in huge numbers, watching football. But there is a sense of relief in the country, a hope that the crisis in their banks has eased after yesterday's massive rescue. The Spanish prime minister, Mariano Rajoy, who was under criticism for staying silent yesterday, made his first comments today. He said the lifeline of up to 100b euros was a victory for his nation and for Europe. (SPEAKS SPANISH) INTERPRETER: Yesterday the credibility of the euro won. Yesterday the future of the euro won. Yesterday the solidity of our financial sector won. The Prime Minister said that if they hadn't taken action, the risk was that Spain itself would have needed a bailout. Some European officials are claiming that Spain's banks no longer threaten the stability of the Eurozone. But Spain itself is divided. Some feel humiliated; others believe the bailout was necessary. 'I think it's bad news,' said this woman. 'It's not clear how many banks will need to be rescued. 'I feel there's a smokescreen.' (SPEAKS SPANISH) 'I believe this can help the banks,' said this man, 'to be able to lend again to families and to businesses.' Even the Spanish Prime Minister said the country still faced a bad year: in recession, unemployment rising, house prices falling. European officials hope this bank deal will calm turbulence in the markets. Others say it has just bought time. Elsewhere in Europe, many believe this crisis remains dangerously unresolved. Spain is the fourth eurozone nation to be given a bailout. More than half a trillion euros has been committed to the rescue packages. The city of Homs is once again the focus of a crackdown by the Syrian government. Opposition activists say more than 38 people have been killed in a day as government forces try to claw back control. Meanwhile, in northern Syria thousands of mourners have packed the streets for the funerals of nine people killed over the weekend in shelling attacks. A film portraying Chilean dictator General Augusto Pinochet as a national hero has sparked anger on the streets of Santiago. Outside the premiere protesters held up photos of relatives who disappeared during Pinochet's 27-year reign. They were driven back by water cannon and tear gas as police escorted Pinochet supporters into the cinema. Human Rights groups and victims relatives had asked for the film to be banned. A hunt's underway in the United States for a gunman who shot six young partygoers in Alabama. Two former university football players were among three men killed in the shooting spree at an off-campus pool party. Witnesses say the attack was sparked by a fight over a woman. This is very much an unusual event for the city of Auburn, Auburn University. It's sickening that these young lives were cut short. A fourth man remains in a critical condition in hospital, while two others have been discharged. Western Australia is bracing for more wild weather as the clean up begins after yesterday's big storm. Strong winds and heavy rain caused major damage in Perth and surrounding areas, and there are severe weather warnings for the next 48 hours. Sophie Baird reports. More than 100,000 homes are still without power after a vicious storm whipped through the south-west of Western Australia. We get lots of winter fronts, but to get them this strong, it's very unusual. About once or twice a decade is what we'd expect. Hospitals in the area were running on generators until earlier today with authorities saying the damage to the electricity network is the worst in the state's history. There was a great big flash, then I went outside and found bits of molten steel falling on the house and cars. It was pretty scary, and we really didn't know what to do. Winds of up to 140km/h ripped roofs off houses, and tossed these boats around like toys, even strong enough to bend this crane in half and smash it into a building. I only saw it falling into the building, a loud banging like thunder. Fierce swells lashed the coastline, spilling onto motorways. The State Emergency Service has had more than 600 calls for help as people struggled to cope. I'm very worried. I don't have anywhere to go. We don't have anywhere to go. Now authorities are warning many homes could be without power for up to a week, and with more wild weather on the way, some might be in the dark for even longer. Sophie Baird, ONE News. Flooding fears have eased in mid Wales after an entire town was evacuated. A controlled release of water has eased pressure on a dam that threatened to burst, and residents have been allowed to return. Rescue teams have struggled after a month's worth of rain fell in just a day. A big clean up operation is now underway.

A week ago, we asked these mothers to try the new BabyLove, and this is what they had to say. Impressed. We had no changes, and you had a very good sleep. And she was dry all night. She was fantastic. BabyLove's new DriWave layer absorbs liquid instantly time and time again, for a dry night and a dry morning. I've had great results, so I'm changing. I've had great results, so I'm changing. (LAUGHS) For drier nights, new BabyLove. 1 NZ's smallest territory is getting a new transportation lifeline following a series of ferry disasters in the Pacific. The only way to get to the Tokelau islands, 500km from Samoa, is on an ageing ship. Pacific correspondent Barbara Dreaver's just returned with news on how the journey's about to get safer. One of the most isolated countries on the planet, Tokelau's only gateway to the outside world is the ocean. That movement between us and the rest of the world is what is quite difficult. For years Tokelauans have worried about travelling aboard their ageing ferry. It was originally adapted to increase its cargo and passenger capacity, and this has weakened the structure. The two-day journey across rough seas from Samoa to Tokelau leaves locals fearful, especially after four Pacific ferry sinkings in three years. When will be the day something like this will happen? This is the port of entry into Tokelau, and as you can see, the passage is treacherously rough and narrow. Governor general Sir Jerry Mateparae has braved the journey and brings welcome news for the 1400 people here. The contract for the two-year shipping service was recently signed for the Matua. The brand new ship, which can carry 36 passengers, will start its service to Tokelau early next month. The NZ government says it's taken several years to find a suitable vessel. The price tag ` $6m for a two-year lease. One of the requirements we had is that it had to be fully internationally compliant. The Tokelauans have also asked NZ for an air service. Four sites have been identified for an airstrip, but the most suitable is where people source their food. When you build an airstrip, you take away really valuable land from families, and that's land that has their coconuts and coconut crabs. The locals' most urgent need is a safe and reliable shipping service. A ship is more a priority. For now, at least, it will be their only access to the outside world. Barbara Dreaver, ONE News. The government may have backed off some of it's cost-saving proposals for the country's education system, but it's still saying savings have to be made. ow one Christchurch principal has an idea that could save millions, and it's a result of desperate times after last year's earthquake. Ali Pugh explains. Headmaster John Laurenson's used to telling his students to pull their socks up. Now he's saying the same to the minister. I'm suggesting that we need to start again and build a completely new structure. A new structure, he says, should be shaped on lessons learned from the earthquake. What did the earthquake teach us here in Christchurch? It taught us that you do not have to have one school on one site, and you do not have to have a 'half past 8 to 3' model for education. Shirley Boys High, like many schools, suffered extensive damage last February. More than half the city's high-school pupils were forced to share campuses and split timetables. John Laurenson says the system should become a permanent cost saver. Primary schools, early childhood, all within a reasonable distance, one assembly hall, one performing-arts centre, I'm saying one set of science laboratories. And one board for all schools in close proximity. Let us set up a hub-based approach to education. Here in Christchurch, at least, it appears the government may be on the same page. The draft plan for the city's future education network proposes changes like permanent site-sharing and campuses that cater from early childhood right through to tertiary level. And with the government trying to shave $114m off the books, this Christchurch quake case-study may become one that's needed nationwide. Alison Pugh, ONE News. One of Christchurch's tallest buildings is safe again after 15 stories of stairs collapsed in last year's earthquake. The last staircase from the Forsyth Barr Building was taken out today. Removing the 10 tonne flight of stairs has been one of the most complex projects undertaken in the CBD. It's been an exciting project and we've had an expert team of engineers who have done a great job in some difficult circumstances. The 19-storey building will now be assessed by engineers. Depending on their findings, it could be one of the few high-rises to survive in Christchurch. Looking at our top stories tonight, prosecutors have been painting a picture of rivalry and jealousy between murdered Feilding farmer Scott Guy and his alleged killer. Ewen MacDonald's accused of shooting his brother-in-law dead. One farm worker gave evidence that while the rivalry was noticeable, it didn't appear to be major. Auckland police are warning motel owners to be on alert as they believe the man wanted for allegedly firing a pistol at an officer has been hiding out in motels. A woman believed to have been with Murray Toleafoa is tonight out on bail after being captured. And there're calls for a complete overhaul of the system for relicencing disqualified drink drivers. Experts say it's flawed and repeat drink-drivers who get their licences back are still reoffending at high rates. Andrew's here with sport, and it's Christchurch's turn again. EXCITING The latest from the All Blacks camp next, as the next generation of test players get a special treat. Plus, the rain on Spain saves pain for a record French Open reign ` we'll explain next. And why has this text cricketer brought shame on his international colleagues? After two years away, the All Blacks are officially back in Christchurch. They visited during the World Cup last year, but today started preparations for their first international in the city since 2010. And a Crusaders favourite is fit to play in the second Irish Test. Blair Norton is with the squad. Homecomings don't get much better than this. A few years ago Luke Romano was in the Christchurch Boys High third 15. Today he was passing on the skills he's picked up as a new All Black. The senior guys, like Waahms and that, they're pretty good and helpful and sort of look after you a bit, so they've been pretty good actually. Waahms is none other than Ali Williams. The mentoring role is one he's also getting used to. He's doing really well, like a number of the other leaders are in terms of just inputting and making sure we're preparing well. Williams admits he's seeing his time in All Black environment differently these days. For so long I had that goal of being at a World Cup, and winning that World Cup, you lose the enjoyment, and for me now every game I play, I just love being out there. The 31-year-old denies he's on the slide and isn't ready to be written off as a starting option either As you get older, it doesn't mean you're getting worse. You guys can write whatever you want to write about me. I'm loving it and thoroughly enjoying it, and in terms of the game, it's not going as backward as you think it's going. It's going quite well. Going even better the motto for this week. Can we get better? The answer is yes. It doesn't always equate to more points, but we're still chasing a heck of a lot of improvement. On the injury front, it's good news for Kieran Read after suggestions he'd suffered a concussion. No, no that's certainly not true. He's in a good spot. Just had a half-hour meeting with him. It's not so good for Victor Vito. Word's expected tonight whether a medial knee ligament problem will rule him out. Blair Norton, ONE News. So where to form here for Ireland? The positive news is that their initial injury reports are less severe than originally thought. Their front line props should be OK to play next weekend; defensively, though, they need a quick fix before the second Test. It's really just focusing and controlling what we can do now. We understand that NZ will probably get better. We've just got to make sure that we get better as well. The Irish arrive in Christchurch in the next couple of days, but it's not all about rugby. Our plan is to get down there on Wednesday morning and visit the red zone with the entire squad. We also have members of the Irish Society coming into the hotel that evening, that are going to do a presentation on the tragedy and the outcome of it and how people are coping. The wife of Ireland scrum coach, former Canterbury prop Greg Feek, lost a family member in last year's quake. It hasn't been a great sporting weekend for the emerald green. Their footballers were in action in their first major tournament for 10 years at Euro 2012, against dark horses Croatia, who needed just two minutes to open the scoring. Sean St Ledger grabbed an equalizer, but Ireland just couldn't shut out the Croats. CROWD CHEERS And that's in! Two for him and three for Croatia. So 3-1 there, and Croatia top of their group after what was supposed to be the showpiece encounter between Italy and Spain ended up at 1-1. Ces Fabregas scored the equaliser for the Spanish. And World Cup washouts England and France meet in Group D tonight. England will be without striker Wayne Rooney, who's sitting out the first two games through suspension. The game's being played in the remote Ukraine city of Donetsk, where England and their supporters are desperate not to be tipped out of the group stages again. Two of the world's best tennis players are in the middle of an anxious wait to resume play in the final of the French Open. Rafael Nadal was cruising to a record seventh title before Novak Djokovic came to life and the weather packed up. Mark Hathaway reports. The pressure piled on Rafael Nadal in the third set, Djokovic twice losing his cool and lucky not to face a penalty after demolishing his chair. But with the final piece of his grand slam clean-sweep still in sight, Djokovic woke up to claim the third. And that's long. Nadal loses the first set that he's lost in the championship here. Like Nadal's fortunes, the weather took a turn for the worse. Like Nadal's fortunes, the weather took a turn for the worse. Both players struggled with the surface. Nadal claimed he couldn't see the ball properly and let the umpire know. Wow, he's gotta be careful. That went close to the umpire. He threw the ball, but he's throwing it towards Stefan Fransson, saying just have a look at how heavy this is. Djokovic, though, was eager to continue, breaking Nadal's serve to take a 2`1 lead before the tournament referee called a halt due to rain. Nadal was angry the decision wasn't made earlier. Now we have to stop, huh? Because the court is the same, one hour ago. Nadal was fortunate the onslaught was cut short. The question now is whether Djokovic can pick up where he left off when play resumes tonight. Mark Hathaway, ONE News. The fascinating Formula 1 season's rolling on, with a record seven different winners in the first seven races. McLaren's Lewis Hamilton ended up top dog in the Canadian Grand Prix. He made his move with five laps to go, overtaking Ferrari's Fernando Alonso, who was struggling on worn tyres. Lewis Hamilton becomes the seventh different winner of 2012! What a great feeling. This is where I won my first Grand Prix, and I knew today would be a tough, tough race, but I loved every single minute of it. Lotus driver Romain Grosjean finished second with Sauber's Sergio Perez finishing third. So Hamilton becomes just the third driver to win three times in Montreal behind Nelson Piquet and Michael Schumacher. Lewis leads the series by just two points. Defending champion Sebastien Vettel is a very close third. The Waikato-Bay of Plenty Magic have registered their sixth straight win of the trans-Tasman netball championship, beating the Central Pulse 52-42 in Tauranga. The Pulse led by three goals at half-time, but the Magic regained the upper hand after the break. Magic goal shoot Irene Van Dyk finished the game with 34 goals from 35 attempts. Good work from Khao Watts. Long shot from Van Dyk. Noeline Taurua loves it. The victory lifts the Magic to fifth on the ladder and in sight of the playoffs. And former NZ netball captain Adine Wilson has dusted off her bib and is set for a surprise one-off appearance for the Southern Steel. Wilson's agreed to be on the bench for tonight's match against the Mystics in Auckland. The Steel are struggling with injuries, and Wilson, who lives on Auckland's North Shore, has agreed to help out. I don't train nowadays. I take the dog for a walk, I play the odd game of netball, so definitely not at ANZ standard, but I'm hoping if I am needed, and it's only for a quarter, then I should be able to last. Although I will be sore the next day. (CHUCKLES) Wilson last played in the ANZ championship three years ago, when the Steel were in happier times. A loss tonight will make it seven in a row. Team NZ's making a fight of it on the penultimate offshore leg of the Volvo Ocean Race. Camper enjoyed a good start to the 2000-nautical-mile leg from Lisbon to Lorient in France. The Kiwi boat is in second spot behind Puma and hoping a tight finish in around a week's time could finally go their way. We've been so close so many times, I think we still have to keep going pretty much as per planned. We've got a terrific team here, and we're going to fight and push this thing all the way. A tricky ride out into the Atlantic is expected to be followed by a flying finish with boat-breaking winds of up to 40 knots forecast. Number-11 batsmen in cricket teams are usually the butt of jokes. Chris Martin, Danny Morrison, Ewan Chatfield ` they all had or have their own unique batting styles. But one of their kind has embarrassed the good name of last men in. Here's Glen Larmer. When unknown West Indian Tino Best took guard against England at Edgbaston in the third Test, he wasn't expected to hang around too long. Tino Best! Look at the follow through. Hold the pose, Tino. And so it began ` the most remarkable innings by a number 11 in Test cricket. There's some shot's being played out there. Best was only playing because some other bloke went home injured. This is his first Test in three years. Edged and in the gap. He behind his previous career-high of 27 off just 21 balls, and while these two fours might have been a bit dodgy, not all of his 15 boundaries were flukes. His 50 came off 44 balls. (LAUGHS) Well played, Tino Best. The guy at the other end, meantime, was going pretty well too. Denesh Ramdin's century, though, was totally overshadowed as Best pressed on. That is the highest score by a number 11 in Test cricket. By now the English bowlers were well and truly out of ideas. They were saved, though, by the nervous 90s. Oh, Strauss is underneath it, and Tino Best's innings comes to an end. So Best out for 95, so close to a once-in-a-lifetime century. A tweet from retired England great Andrew Flintoff summed it all up: 'Well played, sir. Great entertainment, take a bow.' Glen Larmer, ONE News. The Olympic flame has reached the most northerly part of the UK. The torch has travelled by land, boat and plane, stopping off on Orkney, from where the BBC's Lorna Gordon reports. Arriving by air in the northern isles. The Olympic torch is on a journey to the outermost reaches of Britain. CHEERING The flame will travel within 10 miles of almost all of the country's population. Coming to Orkney is an important part of achieving that aim. Then Shetland, closer to the Arctic Circle than to London. Oil money has allowed these islands to invest heavily in sports. The Olympic ideal of taking part is already popular here. Then, after travelling on roads and by plane, the torch was held aloft and rowed past an iron-age fortification, pre-dating the ancient Olympics themselves. CHEERING These islands are as far north as the Olympic flame will get. It's a very distinctive culture here, but the welcome, well, it's been just as friendly. The flame has now travelled the length of the British mainland and to the islands beyond. The journey south to London now starts. HEAVY SECURITY Thanks, Andrew. After the break, Renee's here with a road snowfall warning for the lower North Island. Tonight on Close Up ` dead after drinking beers with his brother. What his grieving mother is desperate for other parents to know. It was the worst feeling that any parent could possibly feel. The revolution in our hospitals ` whose wielding the scalpel when you go in for surgery? And go behind the scenes of the world's most supercalifragilisticexpialidocious stage show. The music does not get out of your head. Close Up's here next, TV ONE. Hi everyone, it's a cool forecast for Tuesday. Let's start with the road snowfall warning for the Desert Road and Rimutaka Hill Road. Snow flurries are expected overnight, mostly clear over the North Island, with a few speckled shower clouds in the south-west flow. A frontal band is moving up the South Island and is followed by sleety showers over the far south. Bright thick cloud to the north originates from a deep low forming off the Queensland coasts. A trio of fronts move up the country, the first one clearing the North Island overnight, the other two brushing eastern areas of both islands tomorrow, bringing the much colder air. A large high sinks south into the Southern Ocean, forcing a more southerly flow over NZ, but it stays put till a little later in the week. For weather, see tvnz.co.nz And thanks to David Hunter for sending in what he calls a dragon sunset. He says you can see a dragon's head in the cloud formation ` 10 points for creativity. That's your weather. Enjoy the rest of your evening. Finally this hour, some sad news about the end of a love story. Yes, a relationship spanning more than a century has ended in a bitter break-up. Giant tortoises Bibi and Poldi, both 115 years old, have been a happy couple for most of their lives. But their keepers at this Austrian zoo say they've fallen out, and it's even become violent with the female, Bibi, taking a bite out of her mate's shell. Animal counsellors have been brought in, but the latest we've heard is that the relationship's still on the rocks. And that's ONE News this Monday. Now here's Close Up.
