The wintry southerly flow delivered more showers and a few snow flurries to eastern parts of the country again today. Snow closed the Desert Road and the Napier-Taupo Road for a time this morning, and there were some hard frosts for inland areas. Make the most of any fine weather tomorrow. The start of the new week's looking a little bit damp. Right now, it's 6 o'clock. Due to the live nature of ONE News we apologise for the lack of captions for some items. This is ONE News with Greg Boyed and Bernadine Oliver-Kerby. Tonight ` the plight of those who can't afford the dentist ` this man went DIY with his pliers. Now there's a call for action. The money struggle drives Auckland's Pacific community on to the streets. The king of the high wire makes an historic tightrope walk across Niagara Falls. And we sample the excitement in Christchurch as the city finally gets Test rugby back. Kia ora. Good evening. Dentists are calling for more to be done to help people who can't afford treatment, saying many are being turned away from public dental clinics. ONE News has uncovered horror stories about the desperate lengths some are going to, to relieve their painful toothache. Charlotte Whale has more. Like a lot of blokes, Tevita Mahe keeps a toolbox in his shed. But he's brought a whole new meaning to DIY. Coming down here and sitting there. After being turned away from Middlemore's emergency dental clinic, his toothache was so bad, he handed his son some pliers. After three cans of bourbon, then I said to my son, 'I'm ready.' The pliers right down the back there, and he hold them and I closed my eyes. Suddenly my son pulled them out. Money's tight at the Mahe household, but Tevita can't get a dental grant from Work and Income NZ because he has a job. Dentists say people like him need to be given better access to affordable treatment. It is a difficult choice to make to spend money on dentistry instead of spending money on food or home and housing and heat. The government says it already spends $150 million a year on free dental health care for all under-18-year-olds. And for the rest of us, there's the option of emergency dental clinics at public hospitals around the country. The problem is many public dental clinics lack the funding The problem is many public dental clinics lack the funding and can only provide pain relief or pull teeth. And here atMiddlemore, the clinic is only open in the morning, they only take 10 people a day, so like Tevita Mahe, many are turned away. ONE News visited Middlemore's clinic and spoke to a woman in considerable pain. She said her relatives go back to the islands and get treatment for free. I don't want to get rid of my teeth. I want to keep my teeth with me, but I don't have other choices, because I don't want to go back to the islands. I want to stay with my family. An independent survey of the public service is underway now, focusing on access for high-need groups. Dentists hope the government will take notice and fill the gaps soon. Charlotte Whale, ONE News. The daily struggle to survive has brought hundreds of Pacific Islanders out to protest in central Auckland. They say government policies mean their community isn't getting enough help and that poverty is a real issue. Sarah Batley reports. ALL SING Singing, dancing and praying ` the message from Auckland's Pacific community was loud and clear. We need help. We're working so hard. They talk of working 12-hour days, sweeping factory floors and cleaning bathrooms, but say it's still a struggle to put food on the table, let alone get ahead. We need to take our kids to the university. We can't afford that. The health... We need more help for the health. While their leaders accept Pacific Islanders aren't the only ones struggling, they say for their people, it's worse. For Pacific people, the impact of those challenges are more acute. Despite the strong turnout and the loud voices, organisers say they were reluctant to organise today's march, but with so much concern throughout the Pacific community, they decided they didn't have a choice. They want specific council initiatives to help Pacific Islanders and better representation at council level. The Pacific community have some serious social and economic issues, and they need a strong voice, and a voice that's well resourced and a voice that's well supported. Mayor Len Brown promised he'd do his best for them, but reminded marchers that Auckland has a diverse population. We are hugely multicultural, as you know. We have 23% of our community that's Asian. But while these citizens aren't demanding designated seats on the council, they say they need more support so they don't get left behind. Sarah Batley, ONE News. We've pictures now of a dramatic rescue from the Manawatu River early this morning. The Palmerston North rescue helicopter plucked three hunters to safety from their perch in a submerged tree trunk. They were stranded when their aluminium boat sank in rapids. Two elderly men were taken to hospital. The lives of 800,000 people living in America have changed in an instant, thanks to President Barack Obama. In a surprise move, he's announced illegal immigrants who arrived in the United States as children will be able to stay and work. Our US correspondent Jack Tame reports. At Pedro Pijuan's Spanish Harlem ice-cream stand, they don't usually talk politics. Coco? Usually it's just coconut or cherry or mango. This afternoon, though, something else was on everyone's lips. Barack Obama used presidential executive power to allow as many as 800,000 people who are here illegally, to stay. They are Americans in their heart, in their minds, in every single way but one ` on paper. PEOPLE SHOUT The new scheme changes that. Illegal immigrants who came to the US as children can stay and work in the United States. So long as they have a high-school diploma or have served in the army, and don't have serious convictions, the President says they can live without fear of deportation. Hey, I would like a coco. At the ice-cream stand, we met Alexis Acosta. His wife came here illegally as a child, and despite her tertiary education, recently received a deportation order. That would destroy my life. That would destroy her life. Like, what is she going to do there? It's an issue Republican politicians also agree needs attention, but previous laws didn't make it through Congress. Today, Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney said Barack Obama had only found a temporary solution. There's no doubt the President's decision is designed to boost his support in communities like this. In the 2008 election, he won two-thirds of the Hispanic vote, and with more than 20 million registered Hispanic voters, this year his campaign is aiming for a similar percentage. It's worked with Alexis. He says the new law means he can start a family in America. Obama is the only one offering` offering me that opportunity, and for that I'm gonna vote. I'm not really into politics, but that's the right step. Coco, coco, coco! Yes, at Pedro Pijuan's, today the President was more popular than ever. Jack Tame, ONE News, New York. Republicans say the President's order could be challenged in court, but legal experts say it's unlikely this would be successful. Prison guards working with our most dangerous inmates say they should be allowed to carry pepper spray on their belts to protect themselves. Their union's happy the spray is now on offer after a trial, but says the fact it's being kept under lock and key is frustrating. We warn there are some graphic images at the start of this report from Arrun Soma. An inmate becomes agitated, throws his television and begins self-harming with broken glass. These exclusive pictures released to ONE News were taken during a year-long pepper-spray trial. We've got something now. We've had nothing in the past. The spray will be for limited use only, on managerial sign-off and only as a last resort. It'll be kept under lock and key. And unlike police, prison guards can't have it on their belts. We've got a cotton uniform, which means if we're going to walk around the prisons, we're still waiting until we're attacked before we can actually do anything about it. Currently, the use of batons and stab-proof vests is also limited. In its call for prison guards to carry pepper spray, the union's quick to point out just how violent jails are. In one of the most recent attacks, a guard here at Rimutaka Prison was viciously assaulted and left with a fractured skull. The union says nationwide in the past two weeks alone, five guards have been knocked out cold by inmates. The Government argues if pepper spray's kept by guards on hand, inmates will target them to use the spray themselves. But the union says guards already deal with worse scenarios. If he stabs me with a toothbrush I give him, or he stabs me with a plastic knife and fork that I give him, or he smashes the meal tray over my head that I give him, or he smashes me with a chair or the table. During the trial, pepper spray was approved for use 17 times, but it was only used once, so is that enough for a nationwide roll-out? Well, I'm pleased it only had to be used once. But is once enough? > Well, it worked. The Government says it's always looking to improve prison safety, but for spray on belts, it won't side with the union. Arrun Soma, ONE News. NZ First leader Winston Peters says he won't budge over any extension of the retirement age. Speaking at his party's annual conference, Mr Peters (67) says superannuation should continue to be paid at 65. Opposition parties are calling on the government to raise the age of eligibility to 67 because people are living longer. That's what our crisis is about. Let's not have these people who have brought us to this failure with their failed economic plans these last 25 years now trying to find a new guilty party. Prime Minister John Key is challenging Mr Peters not to form a government with the Labour Party under any conditions, because it wants to raise the retirement age. And that's just one of the issues Mr Peters will be debating on our Q+A programme at 9 tomorrow morning. And we'll have full coverage of the NZ First conference in the news hour at 6. Millionaire businessman and philanthropist Gareth Morgan's taken a swipe at the Green Party and some conservationists. He says the average NZer sees them as lefties, extremists or nutters, and that's holding back their cause ` the protection of the environment. Renee Graham has more. Gareth Morgan isn't mincing his words. He says Green Party politics are letting down the environment. We still have a Green Party that refuses to go into coalition with National. What the hell is that about? Is this a party concerned with conservation, or is it a far-left group using conservation as a Trojan horse for another agenda? At this Forest & Bird conference, called Face Up to the Future, the economist also took aim at some conservationist groups he calls the 'extreme green' or 'loony left'. He says their opposition to issues like mining and fracking isn't evidence-based and fails to consider employment and the economy. If you're pro-conservation, the problem here is you're increasingly regarded as anti-economic growth. That is not a constructive position to take. It needlessly alienates huge numbers of people. The philanthropist has written about climate change and is driving a million-dollar project to eradicate pests on the Antipodes subantarctic islands. He says conservationists need to have the courage to disown or marginalise activist groups. The majority of NZers do react quite passionately about our environment, but when people like Gareth paint them into a corner and says, 'Don't worry about them. They're just tree-huggers. They're just greenies,' it makes it a really uncomfortable place to be. The Green Party says it considered a coalition deal with National, but the parties are incompatible on many environmental issues. We've seen National's agenda to sell off state assets, to have a 'dig it, drill it, mine it, irrigate it' resource-extraction policy. That goes to the heart of nature. The Green Party is about a sound economy based on a healthy environment. All agree the environment must win this debate. How to ensure that remains controversial. Renee Graham, ONE News. In a little over an hour, Test rugby is making a celebrated return to Christchurch. After a two-year drought caused by the earthquakes, the All Blacks are playing for the first time in the city's new stadium. Lorelei Mason is at the AMI, and joins us now. MUCH HAS CHANGED SINCE THE ALL BLACKS LAST RAN ON TO AMI STADIUM FOR A TEST MATCH IN CHRISTCHURCH. THAT WAS AGAINST THE WALLABIES WAY BACK IN AUGUST 2010. IT SEEMS A LIFETIME AGO. CANTABRIANS WERE STILL INNOCENTLY UNAWARE OF WHAT A BIG EARTHQUAKE WAS, AND THE FANS TOOK THEIR SEATS IN A NOW RUINED AMI STADIUM ON THE OTHER SIDE OF TOWN. NOW THEY'RE MAKING THEIR WAY HERE TO A NEW AMI STADIUM, HERALDING A FRESH STAR, A NEW ALL BLACK ERA FOR CHRISTCHURCH, AND THE TOWN TODAY HAS BEEN TAPPING ITS TOES AT THE PROSPECT. # She's a-courtin' one, two, three. # Please can you tell me who is she? # It may have been cold at the Christchurch farmers market today, but there was warm food and a warm feeling inside. Test rugby is back. It's awesome! Fans young and old were keen to soak up the festive spirit. Oh, we're very very excited. It's just a shame we can't go tonight, but we'll certainly be down at the pub watching the game. It's wonderful. Many were sensing how special today is for this recovering city. I think it's quite an historic moment, and I think it's great that it's the Irish, cos I think it's all about spirit tonight. IRISH MUSIC PLAYS That Irish spirit was in full Gaelic sparkle at the O'Neill School of Dance,... MUSIC CONTINUES ...as well as in local pubs with Irish visitors and the new breed of Irish-Kiwi workers here to help kick-start the rebuild, gathering early for pre-match predictions. But tonight here in our home city of Christchurch, Ireland are going to finally beat the All Blacks here at Addington Stadium. What do you think, fellas? PEOPLE CHEER # Ireland. # Ireland... # A special occasion for Christchurch singer Rebecca Nelson too. She may be singing the Irish anthem at tonight's game, but underneath, her heart will beat black. It means a lot to me doing it here, because it's where I'm from. And to do it for when the All Blacks come home, it just means a lot to me. Victor Vito, Aaron Smith and Ben Franks. KIDS CHEER It means a lot too for Room Seven at Paparoa Street School, winning the 'Paint it Black' competition with their All Black cave. A chance to ask their heroes the hard questions... Are there any foods you have to eat or not eat? ...and get some good solid answers back. I personally prefer making a big tackle than scoring a try. Fans who'll be keen to witness that come half past 7. ALL: Go, the All Blacks! BEHIND ME HERE IS THE TEMPORARY STAND THEY'VE RECENTLY ADDED TO THE STADIUM. TONIGHT IT'LL SEAT AN EXTRA 4000 FANS, TAKING THE TOTAL TURNOUT TONIGHT TO 21,000. IT SOLD IN A MATTER OF SECONDS. BUT I CAN SEE EARLY ARRIVALS COMING IN, RUGGED UP WITH THE FLUFFY HATS, SCARVES AND KNEE BLANKETS. A BIT OF COLD WEATHER WON'T DAMPEN THE HARDY CANTAB SPIRIT HERE TONIGHT! Thanks. Lorelei Mason live in Christchurch. Coming up on ONE News ` Greece prepares for an election that could send ripples around the world's financial markets. He was nicknamed the 'forest boy' after claims of living in the wild for five years, but was any of it true? And daredevil in the mist ` an American's attempt to cross the Niagara Falls. It's one country's election, but its result could have effects around the world. Tomorrow's vote in Greece could determine if it maintains an international bail-out fund and tough austerity measures. But ultimately it could decide if the country leaves the eurozone. The BBC's Gavin Hewitt is in Athens. Tonight in Athens the last hours of campaigning in a Greek election that has the attention of world leaders and the financial markets. Of the two main candidates, this man is the most feared politician in Europe. He's a left-wing radical, Alexis Tsipras. He believes that the austerity measures that are a condition of the Greek bailout are destroying the country. He wants to tear up the agreement, renegotiate, but stay in the euro. TRANSLATOR: Don't bet your money on Greece leaving the eurozone. You will lose. Greece is going to stay in the eurozone. Monday will mark the end of austerity. But if Europe sticks to its word and refuses to bargain with him, Greece could be heading out of the euro. His main rival is the Conservative leader Antonis Samaras. He basically accepts the bailout deal, although would argue for concessions if he wins. And if he formed the governing coalition, there would be a huge sigh of relief in Europe. (SPEAKS GREEK) Mr Samaras, speaking tonight, said the election was a choice between staying in the euro and going back to the drachma. His supporters warn against the dangers of a Tsipras victory. He may claim that he wants us to remain within the euro, but it is clear with what he's planning on doing, they're not going to keep us in. Greece has already had two bailouts ` loans of 240 billion euros. And in some eurozone countries, patience is wearing thin. The big new factor this time around is fear. Greeks have been told time and time again that if they threaten to leave the euro, they risk chaos, a run on the banks and instability. And latest polls suggest the two candidates are running neck and neck. Russia's denied American accusations that it's been providing attack helicopters to the Syrian military. However, Russia's Foreign Ministry has admitted that it provided military equipment and helped refurbish helicopters that were supplied many years ago. Meanwhile, new unverified video has emerged showing protesters wounded in an attack led by government forces in the city of Aleppo. Four former Bosnian-Serb soldiers have been convicted to more than 140 years' prison for the execution of hundreds of Muslims in 1995. The soldiers took part in the Srebrenica massacre, shooting dead 800 people in just over five hours during the Bosnian War, 8000 people were killed overall. These are the harshest sentences handed down by the Bosnian War Crimes Tribunal. Now to a mystery solved. You may remember the 'forest boy', nicknamed after wandering out of the woods in Germany, claiming he'd been living in the wild for five years and didn't know his own name. Police issued a worldwide plea for help to identify him, and now someone has. His ex-girlfriend says he ran away from home in the Netherlands last year and that his name is Robin Van Helsum, and he's now confessed it's all a hoax. Police are considering charging him with fraud. Later tonight, China will launch its fourth manned space mission, including the country's first female astronaut. Liu Yang has had two years training for the mission, which will involve a crew of three joining up with the Tiangong space lab after taking off from the Gobi Desert. They'll spend more than a week working in orbit before returning back to Earth. It's a dream he came up with when he was only 6 years old ` to walk on a high wire across the Niagara Falls. Well, today after years of planning and training, American daredevil Nik Wallenda got his chance to cross the falls from the United States and finish up in Canada. Mauricio Olmedo-Perez reports. You'd need nerves as tough as a steel cable for this feat. Cue Nik Wallenda (33), 45m above the brink of Niagara Falls. Crunching the numbers, you realise how difficult this is. The wire's only 5cm wide, stretching 550m from one country to another ` that's around four rugby fields. 130,000 people are watching at the falls, an estimated TV audience of a billion people. Enough pressure? No, there's more. Nik Wallenda's a seventh-generation daredevil, but he's lost three family members in high-wire acts, including his great-grandfather Karl, who fell to his death here in the '70s. People say I'm insane all the time, but they don't understand I've been doing this since I was 2. My entire life has prepared me to walk across Niagara Falls. He already holds six world records, including the longest wire bike ride and the highest walk on the Wheel of Death. He's been training hard, practising on an 18m-high wire with fire crews spraying him so he could get used to Niagara's intense water mist. A practice run in Baltimore Harbor showing how things can go wrong. PEOPLE SCREAM There was only a slim chance he could fall here. Because of television sponsor pressure, he wore a safety harness, a first for him. But he didn't need it. Not one single stumble, even celebrating before finishing and making a dash at the end to show off only 25 minutes later.� I called my grandmother, actually. I promised my grandmother that as soon as I got off the wire I called my grandmother, actually. I promised my grandmother that as soon as I got off the wire and went to commercial break, I would phone her and let her know I'm OK. So what next for the king of the high wire? Well, he's already got permits to cross the Grand Canyon, a mere three times longer than this effort. Mauricio Olmedo-Perez, ONE News. This was the first wire walk across the Niagara Falls in more than a century, but the last time was over a much shorter distance further down the falls. In another not quite as daring stunt, Man vs Wild star Bear Grylls has brought his own typically intrepid touch to the Olympic torch relay in England. Thousands gathered to cheer on the ex-SAS survivalist as he zip-lined from the 59m-high arch of the Tyne Bridge in Newcastle. Bear Grylls says he was a bit nervous about the flame going out, but the 120m slide went without a hitch. SNOW CAUSED A FEW PROBLEMS? Absolutely perfect conditions for the Remarkables opening day. First on the chair today were Linus Ritchie and Ruby Crossan, along with Spike and Shred. For weather, see tvnz.co.NZ Now to our live weather cameras. I'll have your Sunday forecast after sport and a look ahead to what's in store for the start of the next week. Still to come on ONE News ` more Allied war graves are desecrated in Libya. It's 20 years since the first Earth summit in Brazil. Has much changed for the environment in that time? And new scientific evidence claims Neanderthals may have been smarter than we first thought. 1 More Allied war graves have been desecrated at a Commonwealth war cemetary in eastern Libya. A headstone was damaged and several temporary grave markers removed by vandals just months after graves were attacked at the same site last February, causing global outrage. Armed radical Islamists were blamed for damaging 11 NZ war graves in that incident. It's unknown if graves of NZers were targeted in this latest attack. It's been 20 years since the first Earth summit in Brazil when world leaders met in Rio de Janeiro to discuss climate change and the survival of endangererd animals. This year's focus is how to sustain economic growth while avoiding damage to the environment. The BBC's David Shukman looks at an example of this dilemma in south-east England. Beside the shoreline of Kent, a battle is underway like the kind seen in many places around the world. This is Romney Marsh, a landscape with a precious ecology, but also a desperate need for employment. There is a plan to transform the local airport from handling just small planes like this, to big passenger jets. It's a project which could create hundreds of jobs. Problem ` right next door is one of Europe's most important nature reserves. The contest here in Romney Marsh between jobs and nature, is mirrored across the country and around the world, and at the heart of it is the question, can this generation live in a way that doesn't wreck things for the next one? And that theme of sustainable development will be top of the agenda at a global summit in the next few days. The meeting in Rio is billed as a chance to encourage economic growth without environmental damage. Back in 1992, Rio hosted the famous Earth Summit. World leaders then promised to tackle climate change and losses in the natural world. But in the 20 years since then, vast areas of forest have been cleared, industrial growth has seen increasing volumes of pollution, and more and more species have seen their habitat make way for development. If you look at the global implications of 7 billion people consuming in increasingly unsustainable ways, those trends are hugely destructive. The three-day Earth summit in Rio de Janeiro begins on Wednesday. There's controversial new evidence from Spain suggesting we may have to think again about our ancient cousins, the Neanderthals. These red handprints and animal symbols at Altamira are the oldest known cave paintings in the world. Now new tests show they are more than 15,000 years older than was thought, so who painted them? They were thought to be the work of human ancestors. Now anthropologists are considering whether they were made by Neanderthals, which would mean they were smarter than we thought. Looking at our top stories tonight ` dentists are calling for something thing to be done for people who can't afford treatment. It follows horror stories of people resorting to do-it-yourself measures to cope with painful toothache. Hundreds of Pacific Islanders have marched in downtown Auckland to raise awareness of poverty in their communities. Organisers say they want more help and support from the local and central government. Prison guards want to carry pepper spray on their belts for better protection, now it's being rolled out as a trial. But the Government disagrees, saying the spray should be used only as a last resort and will stay under lock and key at prisons. Sport now. Jenny-May joins us from AMI Stadium in Christchurch ahead of tonight's rugby Test. Icy conditions here in Christchurch which conceivably could benefit the Irish, but with seven Crusaders in the starting 15 for the All Blacks, tonight is obviously about performance. But surely tucked in the back of the players' minds is that they have the chance to give the long-suffering Canterbury public something to celebrate about. Also on the way ` it's been four long years, so is Tiger finally on the verge of winning his 15th major? Plus, the incredible scenes on land from Euro 2012 and on water with Team NZ's Camper. And dumped Warrior Krisnan Inu continues to impress at the Bulldogs, but does Frank Pritchard remember it? Kia ora. Welcome back to AMI Stadium in Christchurch. One of the subplots which is sure to have a major influence on tonight's second Test between the All Blacks and Ireland will be the battle of the midfield. The less experienced and new-look pairing of Sonny Bill Williams and Conrad Smith getting the wood on the Irish in the first Test. With six turnovers last week, Sonny Bill Williams isn't the perfect second-five yet, but the danger he provides isn't lost on the Irish. Back to Williams. Beautiful pass to Carter. Having a huge beast like that, he can be a target player or manipulate that midfield, and he's come on leaps and bounds. He's done an exceptional job. Williams was a focal point for the All Blacks' attack in Test one, carrying the ball 16 times, often into heavy traffic. His almost reflexive offloading gone, making just two, thanks to spending more time analysing video. It's pretty simple. If you're going to run, run hard; if you're going to pass pre-contact, pass pre-contact; and if you're going to offload, run hard first, and then hopefully that option opens up. The Irish placed special emphasis on limiting the Williams' offloading opportunities, making more effective one-on-one tackles considered the key. We can't be putting two or three people into a tackle and our breakdown, particularly if you've got guys like Sonny Bill, who can throw offloads when he has two guys hanging off him. With 193 Tests between them, compared to the NZers' 71, Brian O'Driscoll and Gordon d'Arcy have experience on their side. O'Driscoll, in particular, has enormous respect inside the All Blacks' camp I think the good thing about him is there are so many dimensions to his game, so you can never really feel like you've got him figured out. But on the evidence of last week, the ABs have the Irish team figured out. O'Driscoll will have to do something truly remarkable for things to change tonight. Scotland has avoided a repeat of its 1998 loss in Suva with a 37-25 win over Fiji this afternoon. Dutch-born winger Tim Visser scored two tries on debut in the one-off Test. Now the level. Made the mistake of passing forward. Tim Visser! Tim Visser gets a brace. Five-eighth Greig Laidlaw scoring 22 points as the tourists claimed a comfortable 12-point victory. We can show you for the first time the war wounds to our world champion single-scull rower Mahe Drysdale after he was knocked off his bike going through a roundabout in Munich. As you can see, he's not too bad. The Olympic hopeful says the worst-case scenario is him out of the boat for the next 10 days. These things happen, and you've just got to move on and get on with it. I can still ride on the bike, so I'll be, you know, keeping up with fitness levels. And as soon as I'm back in the boat, I'll be back on track, and, you know, I don't think it'll slow me down at all. Despite missing this weekend's World Cup regatta, Drysdale insists he's still on track for London. A prowling but patient Tiger Woods shares the lead in the US Open. The three-time champion bit his tongue and swallowed his frustration on a brutally fast Olympic Club course in San Francisco, as he chases his first major win in four long years. A measure of Tiger Woods' current mental strength ` the retention of his composure as he slipped from two under and the lead to one over with three bogeys in a row. His par-saving putts simply refused to drop. Well, how about this? There's going to be smoke coming out of his ears. Bogey, bogey, bogey. Adding fuel to the fire, Woods' upstaging by an amateur (17) ` Beau Hossler shared the lead. Nice. Well done. The high-school student coped with the pressure for a while until it finally began to tell. A tumble down the leaderboard soon followed. Now he's in full damage control. Beau Hossler learning that the US Open is not such a free ride. While the youngster was blowing out, Woods was blossoming. This is makeable. CROWD SHOUT He heard me. He's back to even. Another birdie got him back to one under and back at the top of the leaderboard. CROWD CHEERS Jim Furyk was already safely in the clubhouse with his 69. CROWD CHEERS Woods was now aiming to hunt him down, only to be repeatedly balked on the final few holes. CROWD EXCLAIMS His biggest frustration was at the now infamous par-five 17th, where what appeared to be an exquisite second shot squirted through the green, which had been dried bone hard by the wind. Easy... Oh, bye-bye. Amazingly, he still scrambled par, as he did at 18 after ending up in a bunker. CROWD CHEERS That will be nicely done. He nailed this one to close with a 70, which he rated better than his first round 69. So a good day for Woods, but the two best golfers in the world, defending champion Rory McIlroy finishing 10 over, world number one Luke Donald 11 over, both miss the cut. The best thing possible's happened to French Open champion Rafael Nadal in the lead-up to Wimbledon next week. He's lost to world number 34 Philipp Kohlschreiber in straight sets in Germany, meaning he's now got the weekend off to rest up after his Roland Garros triumph four days ago. CROWD CHEERS Roger Federer has also battled fatigue, but has advanced to the semi-finals. The England football team is top of their group at Euro 2012 after a remarkable come-from-behind victory over Sweden. They now only need a point from their final game against Ukraine to advance to the quarter-finals. Arrrrgh! It's normally England supporters who outnumber other countries on their travels, but here they were overwhelmed by four to one. With defeat not an option, manager Roy Hodgson had to abandon the cautious approach employed against the French. It was a gamble which was quickly rewarded. Captain Steven Gerrard delivered an inch-perfect cross for Carroll to power the ball home. Who needs Rooney? After so much promise in the first half, England caved at the start of the second. And within 10 minutes they were ahead. Mellberg left completely free to head in a second. Suddenly Sweden were beating England at their own game. But England weren't done. On came Theo Walcott as Hodgson threw off the shackles. Within two minutes, he had made the impact his manager needed, producing this piece of magic. 2-2. And it was Walcott again who completed England's rescue operation. The Arsenal forward turning provider. This time for Danny Welbeck to conjure up the winner. England in front again! It is a touch of class from Danny Welbeck. He wanted to pick it up a bit more defensively, and if you score three goals, that's the main thing, and the guys worked hard and we've got a long way back home now. After a night of chaos in Kiev, England's dramatic comeback keeps their Euro 2012 hopes alive. And to think this team were supposed to be dull. There have been incredible scenes in the France-Ukraine match, with the game delayed almost an hour. And it's not hard to see why. The referee decided to call a halt to the game after just five minutes. The referee has decided here that because of the heaviness of the rain, but not just that, the proximity of the lightning, he's taking the players off the pitch. The game resumed an hour later. The French comfortably beating the hosts 2-0, ending a winless drought at major tournaments that had stretched back six years. Kiwi league hard man Frank Pritchard has reportedly broken his jaw in the Bulldogs' 28-20 win over the Dragons. The incident happened early in the second half. The man who has a reputation for knocking people out was himself seeing stars. He's a bit dazed ` Frank. He's looking up and thinking, 'What are all these people doing in my lounge room?' Pritchard's concussion didn't hamper the Dogs. Krisnan Inu scored a try and kicked four conversions in the eight-point win. Matt Bowen has emerged as favourite to replace the injured Billy Slater in State of Origin III. The fullback played provider in this try. The Cowboys won 12-0. Team NZ's battled 50-knot winds and 7m seas to take second place on leg eight of the Volvo Ocean Race into Lorient in France; Camper at one stage sailing itself. Massive winds, massive speeds and massive waves. The sailors are saying it's the toughest sailing of the whole race. I was driving. Got a massive wash off the wheel, fell back, hit Nick and Salty, and they got pretty badly bruised legs. Watch closely again as the skipper is swept off the wheel, skittling his crewmates behind him. Basically, on deck there were four bodies lying on the floor and the boat was sailing itself at about 30 knots for a while, so, physically, yeah, I think everyone on the boat is just knackered and sore. At one stage they were surfing waves at 38 knots in the dark. The boat surviving, setting a new 24-hour distance record, flying across the line to take second place behind race leader Groupama and moved back to third overall. It was hard work. Exhilarating at times. Pretty scary at times. But some of the best sailing around. Also battered, the boat and hopes of one-time leg leader Telefonica. The big seas inflicted a second broken rudder on the Spanish yacht, which limped home fifth. Hopes of an overall race win seemingly dashed. One ocean leg and two more in-port races to go before the race ends in Galway next month. That's sport from AMI Stadium. But just before I go, tough break, literally, for Hurricanes halfback TJ Perenara. He was sidelined for four to six months after breaking his ankle in a friendly against the Reds last night. So bad news for one rookie, but the big question from tonight's match ` can the rookie All Blacks who impressed last week back it up tonight? After the break, Karen has a mainly fine day on the way but warns of morning frost and fog patches. Some nice winter sunshine around today but cold. And it's going to stay very cold tonight. We're expecting some snow or sleet showers about the Rimutaka Hill road tonight. And just a heads-up ` there is a watch in place for a period of heavy rain in western Nelson from tomorrow night through to Monday evening. See the southerly flow pushing cloud and showers on to eastern areas? This brighter band associates with one of the cold fronts moving within that flow. Another front is already clear of us, and this one here changing into a trough will skirt close to us tomorrow. A narrow ridge of high pressure produces clearer skies, but further west, there's trouble brewing. The slim ridge moves over the country tonight, bringing in the settled weather. Make the most of it tomorrow because it's not going to last. Not with all this stuff bearing down on us. The ridge will be forced away to the east later tomorrow as the lows and the fronts muscle in. A frosty start to a mainly fine day over the South Island. Just some areas of coastal cloud. But cloud's increasing during the afternoon, with rain developing in the west towards evening. Also watch out for rain spreading down over northern parts after dark. North-easterly winds developing. Fine and frosty in the north. Cloudy areas everywhere else. Any showers clear away early morning. Just a few remaining around coastal Gisborne and Mahia. Mostly light winds at first, then patchy rain spreads in from the west at night. For weather, see tvnz.co.nz All from me. Take care. Keep warm. And that's ONE News this Saturday. Don't forget Q+A's here at 9 tomorrow morning looking at whether it's the right time to be selling state assets. But from all the ONE News team, goodnight.
