Good evening, everyone. It's been a chilly day for the east of the country with Masterton, Queenstown and Dunedin peaking at just 5 degrees. There's a road snowfall warning in place, and many centres are set to go sub-zero overnight. 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. A mother's misery. Joanne Guy breaks down as she describes hearing about her son's killing. All geared up to go to jail, but will the runaway millionaire show us where the money is? A drop of this is about to cost you even more. The new government tax driving up prices. And her proof the dingo did it ` justice for the Chamberlains 32 years after their baby daughter's death. First tonight, a mother's heart-wrenching evidence at the Scott Guy trial. Joanne Guy needed several breaks to compose herself as she recalled the Feilding farmer's death. And she wasn't the only close family member giving evidence. With the latest from the High Court in Wellington, here's Simon Bradwell. DAY SIX OF THE SCOTT GUY TRIAL LOTS OF EMOTION MOST DRAMATIC YET Joanne Guy was on the stand for only three minutes when reliving her husband's words that their son was dead brought her to a standstill. He said, 'It's Scott. Something terrible's happened. You'd better get out here.' So, um... Ewen MacDonald's accused of killing his brother-in-law Scott Guy with a shotgun two years ago in a feud over the running of the family farm. Joanne Guy regained her composure to give evidence that Ewen MacDonald had accused Scott Guy of 'skiving off' on the farm until, under cross-examination, it became too much. It's bad for my heart. Sorry. You wonder if you're going to survive these things. Her distress caused Judge Simon France to call a temporary halt shortly afterwards. I can't remember anything now. < I think we should take a break. Yep, thanks. Take the jury out. Sorry. Joanne Guy had become upset when defence lawyer Greg King asked her to confirm what she said to Ewen MacDonald shortly after the murder. < 'I said to Ewen, "Did someone shoot him?" < 'And he said, "I don't know. I don't know. I think so."' She later agreed she had used those words. The point is crucial because the Crown claims Ewen MacDonald said Scott Guy was shot before anyone had determined the cause of death, while the defence has tried to show that others raised the possibility of a shooting. Scott Guy's brother Callum told of going on night-time hunting trips with Ewen MacDonald. He'd mostly use shotguns, though there was a few times where he'd use... he got, like, a suppressed .22. He agreed with the suggestion that Ewen MacDonald was a good shot. So, Simon, Callum Guy was giving evidence till the end of the day. Did he say anything else significant? HE DID CALLUM GUY ASKED IF HE REMEMBERED IF EWEN MACDONALD OWNED DIVING BOOTS HE COULDN'T REMEMBER THAT'S GOOD FOR THE DEFENCE THE KILLER WAS WEARING THEM An alleged gunman's been charged with attempted murder of a policeman after evading capture for almost five days. Murray Toleafoa was eventually found at a Central Auckland supermarket this afternoon. Donna-Marie Lever with developments. A tip-off saw armed police move in and surround their suspect in a city supermarket car park. Right over here. And they had them face-down in custody. The car had been immobilised by police, and six officers arrested Murray Toleafoa, who's been on the run for almost five days. He was not armed, and we have not located the firearm that was used on Friday night. The police chopper Eagle tracked Toleafoa from the air. Police say there was no risk to the public when they approached him in the busy car park. A plan was in place, and our trained staff dealt with the situation. They had some armed guys as backup as well, just in case it got shitty. Cos they were screaming at the cops and everything. I knew what was going on. I knew it was something to do with that cop that got shot on Friday morning. The 30-year-old, with links to the Tribesmen gang, is alleged to have shot at a policeman last week at point-blank range, but missed. And now... Murray Toleafoa has been charged with attempted murder. Toleafoa's alleged partner in crime, Nadia Ball, appeared in court yesterday, charged with unlawful possession of a pistol. She's on bail until next month. The police officer who was shot at has not yet returned to work and is still recovering at home, but has asked police to pass on his thanks to the public and to his colleagues for their efforts in today's arrest. Two others were with Toleafoa at the time he was found. Police haven't ruled out charging them too. Donna-Marie Lever, ONE News. Prison guards are about to get training in how to use pepper spray. Following a year-long trial in 10 jails, the new weapon will now be available to staff. Corrections Minister Anne Tolley says the trial has proven pepper spray helps protect staff and prisoners. But guards won't carry it on their belts in case prisoners steal the can to use against them. The so-called runaway millionaire remains a free man tonight while steps are taken to try to find the money still missing. Leo Gao is set to be jailed in August after admitting seven charges of theft, but the severity of his sentence could depend on what happens with more than $3M. Kate Lynch explains. Leo Gao arr d Leo Gao arr ing at the 8 Auckland Di bag packed in case he was taken into custody, because inside, he admitted stealing money from Westpac to the tune of almost $6.8m. According to police, this is how he did it. The struggling petrol station owner thought his prayers had been answered on April 21 when a Westpac banking error put $10m in his business account. Over the next week, Gao shifted over $6.7m to various places ` $500,000 to his ASB account; over $100,000 to his personal Westpac account. Police say he also shifted millions offshore. They believe it's in Chinese bank accounts in the names of Gao's mother and brother. But a legal expert says laying further charges would be difficult. If you've got evidence which clearly links the person to the money overseas, that's one thing. The next thing you'll need is evidence that they knew that the money was sent to them in order to conceal where it came from. Gao made 13 transfers to try to put his windfall beyond the reach of NZ authorities. However, police and Westpac have recovered nearly $3m. But more than $3m is still outstanding. According to police, Westpac are trying to recover some of the missing millions by having Gao pay reparation ` something the judge will consider when he's sentenced alongside his partner, Kara Hurring, in August. While it's likely the 31-year-old will serve time in prison, he didn't need his bag today. The judge remanded Gao on electronic bail until sentencing. Kate Lynch, ONE News. Drivers are about to pay an even higher price to fuel up. From August, the government's increasing the tax on petrol as well as road user charges. Arrun Soma's been gauging reaction from motorists. These two are father and son. Dad Frank McGuire lives in Wellington, and his reaction to the increased petrol tax... It's a bit of a problem, really, especially if you're on a fixed income. He drives less these days. Don't really want to go driving long distances in a car that's going to use a lot of petrol. So instead of making six trips, you make one. Son Steve McGuire lives in Australia. Back home's in Melbourne, so $1.37 a litre, actually, for us in Australia feels expensive. His reaction to our petrol tax increase? Outrageous, I think. In terms of price per petrol, I don't know how people can afford to drive a car. From August, the government's increasing petrol excise duty by 2c a litre ` a rise that was deferred last year because of the troubled economic climate. The government says it'll help pay for transport projects. So what's the impact of an extra 2c a litre? The government says for an average petrol car, it's an extra $30 a year. Usually there's an inflationary adjustment every year or so, and it needs to keep pace with increasing costs. So, unfortunately, it's a necessary evil. Road user charges will also go up by an average of 4.1%. The Road Transport Forum says now a truck's round trip from Auckland to Wellington will cost an extra $18, which will inevitably be passed on to consumers. Motorists will pay less, though, to licence and register their vehicles, with a slight cut on administration fees. Back to the McGuires. What is significant is if the price of petrol goes up 10c, 20c, 30c, you know. The road ahead a more expensive one to travel. Arrun Soma, ONE News. A back-down by the government on a long-running family carers case could now cost taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars a year. The courts have repeatedly upheld a claim by a group of parents with disabled children who insisted they were being discriminated against over pay. With more, we're joined by political editor Corin Dann. THE GOVERNMENT DIDN'T WANT TO BACK SDOWN THEY HAD NO CHOICE THEY DIDN'T TAKE IT TO THE SUPREME COURT THIS IS A FIRST For this family, today is the day that makes years of legal wrangling worthwhile. They claimed they were treated unfairly by the Ministry of Health because they weren't being paid like other caregivers ` a legal argument upheld all the way to the appeal court. The Health Minister, Tony Ryall, says the government didn't think it could win in the Supreme Court either. We accept that the current Ministry of Health policy with respect to family members is in need of being changed to change that. The families who took the original case back in 2001 will now be able to seek some compensation through the Human Rights Review Tribunal. THE GOVERNMENT DRAGGED IT ON However, the decision has much wider ramifications and could see the numbers of people receiving some state assistance jump from 30,000 to 50,000. These are tight financial times, and we think the best way to deal with the court case is change the policy. But the new policy needs to be affordable. The climb down from the government is being welcomed by opposition parties. It is another backdown, but a good one. We are very pleased. IT'S A HHUMA RIGHTS ISSUE The government will now establish a working group of experts to determine how the new policy will work. It expects payments could start flowing to eligible parents by next year. So, Corin, how much could this actually cost the government? ITITIALLY HALF A BILLION TONY RYALL SAYS THEY CAN'T PAY IT MORE LIKE 50 MILLION 100, 200 MILLION DON'T KNOW YET HAS TO BE WORKED OUT Political editor Corin Dann. A mother once jailed for murdering her 9-week-old daughter on a camping trip can now officially say a dingo did it. And Lindy Chamberlain will go on a current-affairs show tonight to talk in detail about her 32-year fight for justice. With more, let's go to our Australia correspondent Steve Marshall in Sydney. Steve. LINDY CHAMBERLAIN HAS BATTLED TODAY A CORONER HAS BROUGHT THIS TO AN END A fight for justice over. Whakatane-born Lindy Chamberlain-Creighton is clutching a new death certificate that confirms her daughter Azaria was killed by a dingo. We're relieved and delighted to come to the end of this saga. A saga that started on a cold August night in 1980 when 9-week-old baby Azaria disappeared on a camping trip. Lindy Chamberlain blamed a dingo. He just might have damaged or mauled the baby. But Azaria's body was never found, and her mother was jailed for murder. Michael Chamberlain, originally from Christchurch, was handed a suspended sentence for being an accessory after the fact. They were exonerated in 1987. I am here to tell you that you can get justice even when you think that all is lost. The finding finally brings an end to one of the most controversial chapters in Australia's history. Azaria's death polarised public opinion and inspired several books and movies. You're talking about my baby daughter. Now, some healG 8 and a chance to put our daughter's spirit to rest. An emotional coroner took into account more recent dingo attacks, including the death of a boy in Queensland 11 years ago. Please accept my sincere sympathy on the death of your special and loved daughter and sister, Azaria. I'm so sorry for your loss. No longer will Australia be able to say that dingoes are not dangerous and will only attack if provoked. And with that, Lindy Chamberlain-Creighton finally closed the book on her daughter's death after three painful and exhausting decades. THIS FINDING COMES ONE DAY AFTER AZARIA BIRTHDAY THEY HAVE RECEIVED COMPENSATION SPENT ON ACHIEVEING THIS FINDING TODAY LINDY CHAMBERLAIN-CREIGHTON ON TV TONIGHT IN AUSTRALIA Australia correspondant Steve Marshall. And we'll update this story with new reaction from Lindy Chamberlain on ONE News Tonight at 10.30. Still to come on ONE News ` ACC's chairman steps down. Fears of another massacre in Syria as government forces escalate their attacks. Wallet check, keys check, child missing ` how did the British prime minister manage to leave his daughter in a pub? And the depths police have gone to in the recovery of a pilot's body ACC's looking for a new chairman tonight. Critics say ongoing heat over serious privacy breaches has forced John Judge to step down. ACC Minister Judith Collins says someone new will lead a change in culture at the corporation. Political reporter Jessica Mutch is following developments. Just last week, John Judge was fronting up, representing ACC as the chairman. This afternoon, his minister has announced he's gone. Did you ask him to resign? It's a matter we have been discussing for some time, and Mr Judge agreed with me it would be appropriate, given his new role and the fact that... to bring a new culture into ACC. Labour says John Judge is the fall guy. I'd say that he's been pushed, and I'd say this is another National Party cabinet minister who is not fronting up and taking responsibility for the things that have gone wrong in her portfolio. And someone else has had to jump as a consequence. John Judge was chosen to be the new chairman of ANZ last month. But opposition parties say it's not his new banking career; it's ACC privacy breaches that have forced him out now. I think it's important he takes some responsibility some significant responsibility for the debacle that has occurred in ACC around privacy breaches. One of those breaches centres on ACC claimant Bronwyn Pullar. Her supporter, former National Party president Michelle Boag, was at Parliament, but didn't have much to say about the Judge resignation. Probably my apology is gonna be a long time coming. Remember, Nick Smith also resigned from his ministerial portfolios over this issue in March. There are still two investigations into ACC ` one from the Auditor General and the other from the Privacy Commissioner ` and they're due back in the next few months. In the meantime, Paula Rebstock will be filling in until the minister announces a new chair. Jessica Mutch, ONE News. Syrian children are being put on government tanks and used as human shields. That's the latest revelation from a UN team back from the conflict. The claims come as an attack by government forces has been witnessed by UN monitors in the city of Homs. Helicopters were used in the offensive, which lasted for hours. The BBC's Barbara Kendall reports. From the confusion that is Syria, amateur footage that is becoming all too familiar. Relentless shelling of homes in its northern suburbs have reportedly trapped women and children. The bombardment included firing from government helicopters, according to UN observers. More heavy shelling further north in Latakia province prompted the UN peace envoy to Syria, Kofi Annan, to express grave alarm. These unverified images were said to show mourners grieving over child victims from the violence. The US tonight spoke of fears of a potential massacre. In London, William Hague even held open the possibility of intervention. We don't want to see the Annan plan fail, but if, despite our best efforts, it does not succeed, we would have to consider other options for resolving the crisis, and in our view, all options should then be on the table. Since the massacre in Houla last month, fighting has continued in pretty well every major town in Syria, apart from the centre of Damascus. But that changed this weekend, with protests becoming gunfights in many parts of the capital. (SPEAKS ARABIC) Syrian state TV today claimed attacks in Damascus by rebel forces had included a huge car bomb, shown to UN observers, and rocket-propelled grenades, and an admission the Syrian opposition may also be using heavier weaponry smuggled in from abroad. The UN's expressed fears of another massacre in the town of Hafia where it's observers have been denied access. Rescuers have given up searching for up to 100 people buried after twin earthquakes in Afghanistan. Dozens of homes were wiped out by a massive landslide in a remote village in the north, after a 5.4`magnitude tremor was followed by an even stronger 5.7 quake. Rescuers say they can't do any more without heavy machinery. Former British prime minister Gordon Brown has contradicted evidence given under oath to the Leveson Inquiry by Rupert Murdoch. Mr Brown fiercely attacked the media mogul, saying the testimony about a phone call between them was made up. Mr Murdoch had told the Press Standards inquiry Mr Brown reacted with threats when told The Sun newspaper was switching its support to the conservatives. This did not happen. The threat was not made. I couldn't become unbalanced on a call I didn't have. Mr Brown's also denied that he had given permission for The Sun to run a story on their son's cystic fibrosis. Well, the current British Prime Minister's been dealing with an embarrassing situation after a trip to the pub with his family. His daughter (8) was accidently left there for 15 minutes before Mr Cameron and his wife realised the girl wasn't with them. The ABC's Lama Hasan with the mix up. David and Samantha Cameron ` the image of a young, modern power couple. So how could they do it? Prime Minister in one car with his bodyguards; wife Samantha in another with their other two kids. Each thought Nancy (8) was with the other. 15 minutes and 2 miles later, the Camerons discovered she was missing. Nancy was safe and sound. in fact, she was helping out the staff in the pub. But this morning the British government was on the defence, saying Mum and Dad were 'distraught' when it happened, and the Prime Minister went straight away to get her. I've always said it must be possible to be a good prime minister, and a good father, and a good husband. In March, couples in Maryland and Texas made headlines by leaving their children at Chuck E Cheese. Working parents know it's easy to get distracted. You're expected to respond to an email pretty quickly. You're expected to always be available. It's not something that existed 10 years ago. Perhaps that's why many today felt a little empathy, know these days what happened to the Camerons could happen to anyone. A spokesperson for the Camerons said after the mix up, 'It was a slip. These things happen.' Massive wildfires in the US are testing fire fighting resources to the extreme. More than 400 fire-fighters are battling this blaze in Colorado, which covers an area of around 15,000 rugby fields. One person is missing, and over 100 homes have been destroyed. At least 18 large wildfires are burning in nine US states. Time for the day's weather highlights. And west was best today, Renee? Yes, stunning in the west of the South Island with clear skies and temperatures sneaking into the teens, but it was a different story in the east. Oamaru and Ashburton got to 8 degrees. Christchurch peaked at 7. For weather, see tvnz.co.NZ And I'll be back with your weather for Wednesday right after sport. Coming up on ONE News ` many other developed countries retire at 67, so why is Prime Minister John Key adamant we don't need to? And the gruelling three-week operation to recover a pilot's body in north Canterbury. It's a drug so powerful other countries have banned it. But could it be the answer to addiction? I really do believe it saved my life. Tonight we take you inside it's controversial Kiwi trial. And how old do you really look after yourself? Dr Dave's shocking prescription for Kiwi men. There's no reason why men should die earlier than women. Close Up at 7, TV ONE. 1 As you saw there, the brief period of optimism on the markets after Spain's banking bailout has been short-lived. Most stock markets fell as concern grows that the rescue of Spain's banks has done nothing to deal with the government debt and a depressed economy. Now Cyprus has hinted that it could need to be bailed out before the end of the month. And all eyes will be on Greece this weekend, where fresh elections could determine whether the troubled country stays in the eurozone. With governments needing to tighten their financial belts, it seems 67 could be the new 65 when it comes to the retirement age, according to the latest research on developed nations. But our Prime Minister is adamant NZ doesn't need to follow the pack. Political reporter Michael Parkin has more. John Key says he can't see any reason to raise the age Kiwis are eligible for the pension from 65. But ask who actually supports him, and this is what you get. Oh, look, I'm not going to go through that. That's because backers are increasingly hard to find. An OECD report just released says 67 is the new 65, pointing out 13 of its 34 member countries plan to or have moved their retirement age above 65 to counter increasing life expectancy. But John Key says we don't have to worry about raising the age here until at least 2020 and it certainly won't happen on his watch. We've made out position clear, we've campaigned on it, and that's it. But even National's support partners ACT and United Future want change, making the issue easy fodder for opposition parties. Why does he think that the retirement age is not a current issue when the Budget shows that spending on superannuation will exceed spending on education in just the forecast period. It is an issue, but growing the economy and fixing some of the other issues we inherited from Labour are more significant. John Key clearly isn't enjoying this superannuation debate, but the Retirement Commissioner says it's a timely reminder for middle-aged workers. It could be that in the future it goes up, which means those 40-year-olds, 45-year-olds, now need to think about that. And it gives them time to think about it, which is good. But by how much and when is a conversation John Key's just not willing to have. Michael Parkin, ONE News. A nine-month pay dispute between rest-home workers and the Oceania Group has been resolved. The NZ Nurses Organisation and the Service and Food Workers Union have secured a 3.2% pay rise for 1500 staff. The nine-month employment dispute saw hundreds of workers walk off the job at Oceania rest homes in rolling strike action. The body of a Rangiora helicopter pilot is being returned to his family after being recovered from Lake Sumner in north Canterbury. Police have described the lengthy search as frustrating, with thick snow, remote access and poor communications testing resources. Ali Pugh reports. Experienced pilot Michael Merhtens. His body has finally been recovered after an exhaustive 21-day search. His helicopter crashed into Lake Sumner while he was spraying gorse last month. I think it brings some closure to the family. They're very happy to have him home. Home after trying conditions tested search teams. It has been frustrating. It's been three weeks. It's been frustrating for us and our searchers. We've had four of our national dive squad members snowed in. The lake, located in North Canterbury parkland, is extremely remote and accessible only by four-wheel drive. The environment's topography made access difficult and communication challenging, with last week's heavy snow hampering search efforts further. They've had tractors to deploy the boats into the area; graders in there clearing the snow. Police used sonar equipment and a NIWA remote-controlled vehicle like this one, with a special manipulator arm, to retrieve Michael Merhtens' body from the depths of the lake. 130m, as I understand it. It was very dark. There was no light down there. Very soft mud on the bottom of the lake, easily stirred up by people, but people couldn't get down that deep, anyway. At 30m down, the dive squad was deployed to bring him to the surface. It's the most comprehensive search I've ever been involved in. It's extremely challenging at that depth. The Civil Aviation Authority is now investigating how a routine high-country flight could go so tragically wrong. Ali Pugh, ONE News. Looking at our top stories tonight ` there's been emotional scenes at the Scott Guy murder trial. Giving evidence about her son's death proved too much for Joanne Guy at one stage. She became upset when defence lawyer Greg King asked her to confirm a conversation where she heard about her son's murder. An alleged gunman has been charged with the attempted murder of a policeman after being found at a central Auckland supermarket car park this afternoon. Murray Toleafoa had evaded capture for almost five days after allegedly firing a pistol at a police officer when the car he was in was pulled over. From August, you'll pay more for petrol ` an increase of 2c a litre. The government says the rise will pay for transport projects, working out to around $30 a year for an average petrol car. Road user charges will also go up by an average of 4.1%, but there's a decrease in administration fees for vehicle registration. Andrew's here with sport, and the All Blacks feel Christchurch's frustrations first-hand? A BIT OF A JOLT LAST NIGHT, WHICH WOKE UP SOME OF THE NORTHERN PLAYERS. Injury frustrations also for Victor Vito, more on this next, as another new cap is set to line up for a test jersey this weekend. Plus, a remarkable story of determination for one of the Warriors. And from one great to another, and from Paris to LA ` the cups are overflowing for King Rafa and the Kings. The All Blacks have been given an eerie reminder of what it means to live in Christchurch. A 4.2-magnitude earthquake shook a number of the team awake in their beds last night. The quake also brings back a few memories for those who've lived through the city's upheaval. Here's Blair Norton. Today the All Blacks were shaking due to the cold, an unwelcome jolt shaking the team and city last night. Most of them just about pooed their pants, so... which is quite a laugh. All the Christchurch people had a bit of a chuckle about that. There were people diving out of bedrooms and what not. Steve Hansen can have a bit of laugh now, but he knows more than most just how tough life's been in Christchurch. Our camera caught this in Australia just 3 days after the 2010 September quake. Got a phone call about two minutes ago to say the house is knackered. Hansen's home was sadly one of thousands. The devastation and on-going earthquakes forced last year's World Cup games out of Christchurch. Saturday night's Test will be the first in the city since August 2010. It's been an emotional time for Christchurch, particularly this side of town, and there are a lot of people who've been forgotten. Um, hopefully we can put on a performance on Saturday that they can be proud of and we can be proud of. The squad embraced the hard hit eastern suburbs today, connecting with people trying to get back to a normal life. The match is shaping as a way to bring more relief, particularly for the squad's 10 Christchurch-based players. To run out on Saturday, it's gonna be awesome for the team, and I think, um, all of Christchurch and the Canterbury region is really going to enjoy it. I'll look forward to doing it too. A lot of family and friends in the city. Players are adamant they won't let the occasion get the better of them. We're here to do a job and it doesn't matter if we're playing here, Dunedin, Auckland or anywhere. We'll make sure we front up and play really well. That's all Christchurch's rugby fans can hope for. Blair Norton, ONE News. Young flanker Sam Cane is set to win a first All Blacks cap, with Victor Vito ruled out of the series with a knee injury. The grade-two medial-ligament strain is expected to keep Vito out of action for three to five weeks. Yeah, you know, there's a lot of competition for spots ` you know, a lot of good guys running around in this position as well. But at the same time, I am disappointed, but I've just got to get my head space right and be really positive about, you know, just trying to get right again. Coach Steve Hansen has confirmed that Adam Thomson will replace Vito at blindside, with Sam Cane coming on to the bench. Liam Messam will join the squad next week as cover. No-nonsense Warriors forward Micheal Luck will make his comeback after an eight-month injury layoff And Ireland looked more like the walking wounded training in Auckland today. Half the team from the Eden Park defeat didn't take part. That included captain Brian O'Driscoll, flanker Sean O'Brien and prop Cian Healy. There's a lot of injuries, and a huge amount of workload. What we try to do is just to manage them on the field as well. So it's not... it's not ideal, obviously, going into big Test matches like these. The Irish head to Christchurch tomorrow. No-nonsense Warriors forward Micheal Luck will make his comeback after an eight-month injury layoff for Saturday's NRL match against the sharks. Luck will start from the bench while Lewis Brown starts at nine, after another serious injury sustained in the win over Penrith. Here's Craig Stanaway. What is it with playing hooker for the Warriors? It's been revealed Alehana Mara broke his leg playing against Penrith and is out for six to eight weeks, joining first-choice number-nine Nathan Friend, who's already sidelined with a broken jaw. The coach insists they can cover this latest setback. Louie Brown did a good job for us. He could continue in there. We've got Pita Godinet, who can play a bit at dummy half. Uh, and Elijah Taylor could jump in there at a pinch as well. The Warriors' victory was built around playing perfect wet-weather football ` building pressure with field position, then getting Shaun Johnson to kick into the corners. And Manu has a double. But the Warriors' soft underbelly was also on display, albeit briefly. One woeful pass, and one of the worst attacking sides in the comp ` minus its three Origin stars ` suddenly started playing like minor premiers. And that could be a game-changer. For seven minutes, Penrith had 89% possession, scoring three tries. From being 12-0 up, the Warriors went into half-time somehow trailing 16-12. Can you believe that the Panthers have the lead? Vatuvei should've had a third try. That really would've silenced his critics. It didn't have a bearing on the game. James Maloney made up for his earlier errant pass. Kevin Locke sealed the 30-16 victory right on full time. There's one to celebrate with. The Warriors kicked Penrith out of the game tonight. They were outstanding ` the way they controlled the second half, especially. Two vital points. The Warriors stay ninth, two points outside the eight. Craig Stanaway, ONE News. Rafael Nadal has confirmed his place among the greats of tennis. Nadal's won a record seventh French Open title, powering his way to victory in the disrupted final. Mark Hathaway reports. Without doubt, the king of clay. Rafael Nadal heralded his 11th grand slam title as one of his best. For me, being back here on centre court and playing another final and having this trophy with me is something unforgettable. I'm really really emotional, and, you know, it's probably one of the more special moments of my career. And it took a special performance to deny Novak Djokovic a grand slam clean sweep. When rain halted the final yesterday, the big Serb was clawing back his two-set deficit. But he couldn't pick up where he left off. Unforced errors put him under pressure, and a reenergised Nadal brought his ferocious forehand back with him. This is what we're talking about. He's just let rip off forehands, and they're deep and jumping off the court. The match finished, almost unfittingly, with a Djokovic double fault. Oh, a double fault. Rafael Nadal has achieved French Open history ` seven titles, which bests the great Bjorn Borg's six. I don't know if I am the best or not. I really... I am not the right one to say that. The only thing is I have, probably, one of the best results ever, probably, on this kind of surface. And, for me, it's great. The power trio of Nadal, Djokovic and Roger Federer are now dominating men's tennis. Together, they've won 28 of the last 29 grand slams. Djokovic has six ` 10 behind Federer. Nadal's on 11 and has a big taste for winning. Mark Hathaway, ONE News. The excitement around today's announcement of the men's Black Sticks hockey team for the Olympics has been tempered with sympathy for those who missed out. 16 players were named, plus two accredited reserves that will travel, but won't stay in the village. Nick Wilson was a reserve in Beijing four years ago, and feels particularly sorry for midfielder Arun Panchia who has missed out. It was tough to get over at first, and, um, you start to have negative feelings, but at the end of the day it's all about the team, and you have to be prepared at any time during the stage of the tournament to go in, so it means you have to go to training day in day out with the people who are congratulating each other, like today. It's really hard for him, I think. The team leaves for a three-test series against Australia on Sunday, before Olympic warm up matches in Europe. A lack of accountability is the key finding from an independent review into the high performance structure of Triathlon NZ. Many of NZ's top triathletes currently train under several specialist coaches. The report still supports that, but recommends those coaches must now work with and be answerable to head coach Greg Fraine. There will be teething problems, and with people who have traditionally coached in a personal capacity. um, will need to try and work with that. So who will the buck stop with now, in the new structure? > Uh, it will stop with the high performance director and the national coach. And Fraine is about to have a new boss as well. Like NZ cricket, a high performance director will manage the head coach. A NZ team is finally leading netball's trans-Tasman competition. The Northern Mystics have fired just at the right time, with three rounds remaining before the play-offs. Toni Street explains. who only came on in the second half after coach Debbie Fuller opted not to start her. Latu was dearly missed early on, proving just how crucial she is to the team's success. Latu provided the lift her side needed, pushing past the Steel with five minutes to play in the third quarter. The visitors never got close again, despite Wilson's injection for the final quarter. The Mystics pummelled the ball into Latu and Maria Tutaia. The pair shot 90% between them. The final score: 60-49. The Mystics are now two points clear at the top of the ladder, still searching for consistency ahead of their local duel with the Magic this weekend. Toni Street, ONE News. Co-hosts Ukraine have staked their Euro 2012 football title ambitions with a 2-1 comeback win against Sweden, all thanks to a standout performance from a 35-year-old. Shevchenko! The stadium really rocked, if they get it. It's there! It's there again! A double for Shevchenko. England and France shared the spoils in their group D match with a 1-1 draw. In LA, the Kings ice hockey team has been crowned the new Stanley Cup champions. In game six of the seven game series against New Jersey the Kings showed who was boss, starting in bruising fashion. They then went on a three-goal scoring spree in the first period, with a New Jersey man down as he sat out a five minute penalty. Brown again. Turns, shoots. Score! Justin Brown again! Dwight King. They score! Trevor Lewis! HORN BLARES The Kings scored three more goals in the last two periods, winning comfortably 6-1. It's their first NHL title in 45 years of existence and a major boost for ice hockey in one of America's biggest sports markets, LA. IF THEY CAN'T WIN THE NBA, THEY'LL TAKE THIS. NO NFL TEAM IN LA. HUGE COUP After the break, Renee's here with a chilly start to Wednesday. If this potentially dangerous drug could cure your addictions, would you take it? I really do believe it did save my life. Tonight we take you inside its Kiwi trial. Plus, he's worked for years as a spy for the US ` so what has his country done that he can't stay silent about? ...failed to stop it happening, and I thought, 'What has my country become?' And why this doctor's taking Kiwi men's health so seriously. There's no reason why men should die earlier than women. Close Up's here next, TV ONE. Hi, everyone. A fine day for many places today, but the south-west flow pushed showers on to eastern areas. A road snowfall warning remains in place for the Rimutaka Hill Road and the Desert Road. 1-2cm is expected. There's a veil of high cloud in the north, and this comes from a low and frontal system over the northern Tasman Sea. Otherwise, it's the cold, showery south to south-west flow in our area, with most of the really cold air and heavier wintry showers passing to our east. Little change for the next day or four. South-westerlies, with trough and frontal features passing by to the east and occasionally flicking the land areas. And tomorrow a cold front within this flow gradually edges closer to eastern areas, moving onshore in the evening or at night. Meanwhile, the ridge remains anchored over the southern Tasman Sea. And the low to our north isn't going anywhere either. Fine and frosty start for most of the South Island. Showers continue in the south, and a few clouds bother the east at times. South-westerlies, strong up the eastern coast, and lighter winds elsewhere. A fine day for the North Island, but some high cloud in the north and areas of low cloud in the south-east. South-west to south-east winds, fresh about the coasts. Cloud and showers move into the south-east at night.
