Howdy, everybody. Taupo and Invercargill tumbled to minus-4 overnight, but that's it for the frosts. Now it's time to hang the oil skins at the door, with bands of rain and squally showers drifting in from the west. Coming up on your forecast ` a rain warning, some thunder and a possible waterspout. 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 Wendy Petrie and Peter Williams. Tonight ` a videod police interview with the man accused of killing Scott Guy is played in court. Hear what Ewen Macdonald says to investigators. Tributes for a popular businessman whose death has left a small town reeling. A really good man ` kind, caring. His beating by police sparked the deadly LA riots ` Rodney King's found dead in a swimming pool. And kicking up a racket ` a violent outburst at a tennis tournament leaves a linesman injured. Kia ora. Good evening. A recording of a police interview with the man accused of murdering Scott Guy has been played to the jury. In the video, Ewen Macdonald denies setting fire to a house on his brother-in-law's property, something he later admitted doing. Simon Bradwell is covering the trial and joins us now live. SO FAR IN THE TRIAL WE'VE ONLY HEARD TWO WORDS FROM EWEN MACDONALD Nine months after Scott Guy's death, Ewen Macdonald, in his green farm jersey, is grilled by detectives at Palmerston North Police Station,... ...apparently unconcerned as he's asked if he set fire to an old property of Scott and Kylee Guy's. Ewen Macdonald also relaxed about two deer stolen from a neighbour's farm. But we now know he's admitted doing the arson and graffiting another Guy property, as well as killing the deer. He's also accused of killing Scott Guy with a shotgun in a feud over the family farm. He has pleaded not guilty to the charge. Earlier, Scott Guy's father said widow Kylee Guy never returned to the family home. She moved, um, probably... I don't remember exactly, but more of less the week after Scott died, I guess she would have went back to Hawkes Bay, where her parents lived. While Scott Guy's death meant more responsibility for Ewen Macdonald, and with it... He got an increase in salary and, um, aro` I mean, I can't remember exactly, but around about another $10,000. Maybe even been a bit more. In evidence given earlier in the trial, Bryan Guy said the words 'his face' had been used by Ewen Macdonald when he told him something had happened to Scott Guy. But today the defence suggested that Mr Macdonald was telling Bryan Guy the murder was at Scott Guy's house. < He could have been trying to tell you where it is, saying, 'His place.' But you heard, 'His face'? Uh, that could be a possibility, yes. A police officer said he witnessed a disagreement between Ewen and wife Anna Macdonald about pulling out of a farming awards dinner on what turned out to be the day of the crime. A financial consultant called to advise the family said Ewen and Anna Macdonald told him the workload between the two men was uneven. The work hours were presently unsustainable, and they` they, uh, wanted things to change. But it was the police DVD that took centre stage today. So, Simon, is that the end of the DVD? NO, IT'S A VERY DETAILED DVD WE UNDERSTAND THE DVD IS 4.5 HOURS LONG WE'RE PROBABLY � OF THE WAY THROUGH IT SORRY ABOTU THAT YOU CAN SEE MORE ON OUR WEBSITE Thanks, Simon Bradwell in Wellington. A small Waikato community is tonight struggling to cope with the sudden death of a popular pizza-shop owner. Jordan Voudouris was found early this morning behind his shop in the town of Paeroa. But police say it's not clear if he was the victim of foul play. Donna-Marie Lever with the details. Jordan Voudouris was Paeroa's pizza man; his shop quickly became a shrine today for a community who adored him. He was more than just Jordon from the pizza shop. He was Jordon, part of town, part of family, you know, and I don't think there's going to be a lot of dry eyes when everybody finds out, you know. News spread quickly through town that the 57-year-old's body was found at the back of his shop. The area is now a crime scene. At this stage, we've got what I'd term an unexplained death. Circumstances are of sufficient concern that we will deal with it as if it was a homicide until we can determine either that it is or can discount it as being a suspicious death. I walked past here last night on my way home, and when I got a text this morning saying he'd been killed, it was a big shock. But police are quick to point out their investigation into the father of two's death is in its early stages, and they're keeping an open mind. The only witness is the neighbour who discovered the body this morning. Clearly, that's an area that our inquiry will focus on. We'd be very interested in hearing from anybody who may have heard anything, seen anything. Police are expected to be here at the scene for some time and are now looking at whether there's any link to an attempted robbery and robbery early this morning at nearby towns. A team of 20 police continue to work on the inquiry, while locals say they'll be planning a very special memorial to farewell a very dear friend. Donna-Marie Lever, ONE News. The Prime Minister's facing another battle with the education sector by calling for controversial league tables to rank schools. John Key made the comment a short time ago. Political reporter Jessica Mutch was there and joins us now, live with more. Jess. THIS WHOLE IDEA OF LEAGUE TABLES IS PRETTY UNPOPULAR WITH THE SECTOR BUT JOHN KEY MADE THAT SUGGESTION TONIGHT HE SAID IT'S ALREADY AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC IT'S BETTER FOR THE MINISTRY TO COMPILE IT RATHER THAN THE MEDIA DO IT HE ADMITS COMPILING LEAGUE TABLES IS COMPLEX AND WON'T DO IT UNLESS HE HAS BUY IN FROM THE SECTOR HERE'S WHAT HE HAD TO SAY A SHORT TIME AGO. How that data gets put together and what form is a debate that the ministry has to have with the sector, but the whole aim around national standards to a certain degree is to inform schools, teachers and parents and communities better about the progress of their child or children. So, Jessica, what reaction have you had from the education sector? I'VE JUST SPOKEN TO NZEI AND THE PRINCIPALS FEDERATION THEY SAY IT'S UNFAIR TO COMPILE THESE LEAGUE TABLES Thanks, Jessica Mutch at parliament. Fears are growing for a man missing in a vast bush area near Auckland since Saturday. Ronnie Fong was lightly dressed when he entered the Hunua ranges, where temperatures have been below zero. Kim Vinnell caught up with his family and rescuers. Rescuers know time is of the essence as they search for Ronnie Fong. The area we're concentrating on at the moment is between the upper Mangatawhiri track and the Mangatangi ridge track. The 36-year-old left for a day walk on Saturday morning, wearing only shorts, a T-shirt and a light jacket. Texting his brother that afternoon, he said he was running late. I'm pretty worried now. Yeah, he just... I'm just worried. His family well aware of the facts. Ronnie Fong's faced the coldest night of the year, and by now is likely to be suffering from hypothermia. It got down to about minus 3 degrees here, so it's very cold. Now, um, it's a bit warmer, but there's a lot more wind and heavy rain is forecast. Mr Fong's a bio-engineer at Middlemore Hospital. He moved here from Fiji 18 years ago. His family say he's physically and mentally fit. Um, he's into martial arts. He hikes every weekend. The wind has really picked up here, which means searchers can no longer use this Air Force Iroquois. It's made the operation more difficult as the area they're searching is very remote, and searchers are now forced to walk or drive into the bush Police say it's likely the missing man confused a DOC bait line for a walking track. But with a search team of 70 on his trail, his family aren't giving up hope. I'm sure he'll be fine, but he'll probably panic a bit because it's quite cold out there, and he hates the cold. Panic, searchers say, is no use to Mr Fong now as he needs to conserve energy in his battle against the elements. Kim Vinnell, ONE News. World leaders are breathing a sigh of relief after Greece's second election in six weeks was won by a party committed to remaining in the Eurozone. It's good news for global markets. No big movements in ours here, following victory for the pro-bailout 'new democracy' party. We'll cross live to correspondent Maria Kagkelidou in Athens for the latest shortly. First, this report from the BBC's Gavin Hewitt. MOTORCYCLE BEEPS Tonight there were celebrations in Athens. The party that had got the majority of votes said Greeks had voted to stay in the single currency. Greece would remain anchored in the euro. As the votes were counted, Greece revealed itself as badly divided, but voters had been told they faced a stark choice: staying in the euro or leaving. The result was closer than expected. The winner was Antonis Samaras of the New Democracy Party. Today the Greek people expressed their will to stay anchored with the euro, remain an integral part of the eurozone. Mr Samaras broadly supports the bailout agreement with its austerity measures, although he wants changes. But his main rival, Alexis Tsipras, from the party Syriza, turned it into a tight race. He had promised to tear up the bailout agreement and renegotiate the austerity measures. Some said his policies would've pushed Greece out of the euro. So Mr Samaras will try and build what he calls a pro-euro national unity government over the next few days. He is likely to be joined by the Greek Socialists. But the strength of the anti-austerity parties will pose a challenge to whatever government he forms. There will be relief in Europe's capitals that a party committed to the euro and the bailout agreement has come out on top. But its success brings with it no guarantee of stability in Greece. Joining us now live from Athens is correspondent Maria Kagkelidou. Maria, how long will it take before Greeks know what sort of coalition they're getting? YET ANOTHER ROUND OF HORSE TRADING NEW DEMOCRACY HAS COME OUT SIGNIFICANTLY STRENGTHENED ONE WOULD EXPECT THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO FORM A GOVERNMENT, BUT THE SOCIALISTS HAVE SEEN THEIR ELECTORAL POWERS SHRINK THEY'VE PUSHED AUSTERITY MEASURES AND THEY DON'T WANT TO KEEP PUSHING COSTS THEY'RE ASKING ANOTHER LEFT-WING PARTY TO JOIN THE GOVERNMENT THE MOST LIKELY IS THE DEMOCRATIC LEFT ANTONIS SAMARAS WILL ASK FOR A MANDATE TO FORM A GOVERNMENT TODAY QUITE A BIT OF WORK TO DO Is this the end of uncertainty for Greece or are there still problems ahead? WELL, IT IS BY NO MEANS THE END OF UNCERTAINTY WE DON'T KNOW IF A GOVERNMENT WILL BE FORME OR HOW LONG IT WILL SURVIVE GREECE NEEDS INTERNATIONAL MONEY TO SURVIVE THEY'VE GOT UNTIL JULY 20 WE'VE GOT TO SEE IF THE EU WILL KEEP FUNDING G Thanks, Maria Kagkelidou in Athens. Rodney King, the man who symbolised racial disharmony in the United States, has died. The images of the brutal police beating he received in 1991 and the riots that swept through Los Angeles the year after, remain etched in the memories of people the world over. The ABC's Cecilia Vega reports on the tragic end to a troubled life. He was the bloody, battered face at the centre of the first viral video ever; the man who issued that famous plea in the middle of one of the worst riots in American history. Can we`? Can we all get along? Rodney King's lifeless body was found in his swimming pool by his fiancee. His death is now is being investigated as an accidental drowning, but King had a long struggle with drugs and alcohol. And according to news reports, his fiancee told friends he had been drinking all day Saturday and smoked marijuana. April marked the 20th anniversary of the riots that followed the beating trial. Looking back, King said he'd made a mistake running from the police that night. He said he didn't want to go to jail for drunk driving. When I saw the tape, it was, uh... I was so happy that it was on tape, and then I was looking at it, and it was like me being in another body. I felt like I had died in that one and just watching it. That beating went on for 15 minutes, with four LA police officers pounding King with batons, kicking him, shooting him with stun guns. Not guilty of the crime of assault by force... And when they were acquitted by a jury with no blacks on it ` mayhem on the streets of Los Angeles; a city on fire. King said he forgave the officers, but decades later, he was still haunted by nightmares and flashbacks. I'm constantly working on myself. Not too long ago in an interview, Rodney King was asked if he knew what he would want to put on his headstone. He had an answer, he said. 'Can we all just get along? Can we all just get along in peace?' The coroner will perform an autopsy on King within the next 48 hours. Disgraced former Labour MP Taito Phillip Field is waiting to hear if he'll have to part with close to $60,000. That's the amount the Crown says he's gained though his crimes. Field served two years in jail after being found guilty of bribery, corruption and attempting to pervert the course of justice. Helen Castles reports. A case of deja vu for Taito Phillip Field ` back in court, this time fighting to hold on to his money and assets. What impact would it have on your family if you had to pay the 60 grand? Nah, we can't answer anything. These are the properties that Field allegedly had Thai tradesmen carry out $58,000 worth of painting, plastering and tiling on. The former MP had promised to help them with residency in exchange for free labour. Now the Solicitor General wants him to pay up what the renovations were actually worth. Field's lawyer maintains the $58,000 is an over-estimate and the work on Field's house in Samoa would have been cheap. The minimum wage over in Samoa is extremely low ` approximately NZ$1 to NZ$2. A Crown expert has priced the labour at $30 an hour. The lawyer for the Solicitor General said Taito Phillip Field told the Thai workers to lie about the value of their work and the renovations. And, given those lies, Field's calculations were too low. But Field's lawyer says the former politician has already suffered for his crimes ` losing his political career and ability to earn a living. In addition to that, sir, there is the public humiliation which the respondent has suffered over a course of some years. The judge has reserved his decision, but Field hopes this is last he's seen of the High Court. Helen Castles, ONE News. Next on ONE News ` do Winston Peters' immigration numbers add up? Also ` where have all the tourists gone? The people on struggle street after 18 months of strife. Are you in the running for Olympic tickets? Hear what they're selling for on the black market. And a double act to keep an eye on at the Games ` the rowers with a remarkable story. Then at 7 ` should we be worried about white flight from our schools? Is the decile system doing a disservice to future generations of Kiwis? Winston Peters' claims that immigrant pensioners are costing our super scheme dearly are being questioned tonight. The Prime Minister's rubbished the NZ First leader's figures, while Labour says they're worth further scrutiny. This from political reporter Michael Parkin. This is a hotbed for new immigrants ` Mt Albert in central Auckland ` where many are wary of Winston Peters' plans to make it harder for their parents to come here and claim the pension. Maybe the reason why they come here because their children maybe work here. But the children have done something ` I believe something ` for the economy, for NZ. The NZ First leader says 22,000 immigrants in NZ haven't contributed to the economy, yet claim the pension. And to galvanise his supporters, Mr Peters says it's the eligibility rules ` not the retirement age ` which should change as costs rise. which should change as costs rise. My informant was an older Chinese who said, 'I've paid taxes here for decades and so have all of my friends, 'and we think it's not right that someone can arrive virtually yesterday, 'pay no tax at all and get super.' And with Winston Peters looming as the kingmaker at the 2014 election, Mt Albert MP and Labour leader David Shearer says he'll consider it. I'm not sure where Winston Peters got all his information from and his facts from. So, um, what we want to try and do is go back and take a look at that and see if there is anything in it. Mt Albert MP and Labour leader David Shearer says he'll consider it. I'm not sure where Winston Peters got all his information from and his facts from. So, um, what we want to try and do is go back and take a look at that and see if there is anything in it. It's with these nations that NZ has a reciprocal relationship when it comes to superannuation, and Mr Peters suggests that's where the government should draw the line. But the Prime Minister says almost 600,000 people get the pension and only 3000 are Chinese, so Mr Peters has it wrong. We have an army of officials, and he has some guy hanging out in a Dominion Rd in a Chinese restaurant he wants to close down. But Winston Peters will keep dining out on this issue. Michael Parkin, ONE News. A family's got something to celebrate tonight, six months after ONE News revealed its battle for permanent residency. The Tohi children were banned from going to school for almost a year, because they were considered neither citizens nor overstayers under NZ law. Now the Tongan family's received papers allowing the children to get an education here. I'd always wanted to be a paediatrician, so, um, yeah, it looks like it's gonna` there's gonna be a brighter future for me. The parents have been in NZ for years, but were put on visitors permits while they appealed against their status. There are mounting fears for the safety of people caught in the crossfire, as the violence intensifies in Syria. GUNFIRE ECHOES At least 50 have been killed in central and northern parts of the country, hours after United Nations observers suspended patrols. Anti-government activists say the lives of a thousand families in the besieged city of Homs are in danger. They say dozens of wounded also need urgent medical attention. There's still division in Egypt tonight, after the Muslim Brotherhood declared its candidate the new president. These are the scenes in the capital, Cairo, right now. The Muslim Brotherhood says its candidate Mohammed Morsi has won Egypt's first free president election. But an official in the rival camp of Ahmed Shafik is challenging the claim. Mr Shafik, a former military man, was the Mubarak regime's last prime minister. Now there's evidence the political turmoil's really hurting the Egyptian people. This from the BBC's Rupert Wingfield-Hayes. It's a long time since the shops in Cairo's old souk were thronging with tourists. It's so bad now, some have locked up and left. Others struggle on with a trickle of customers. You might expect this place to be solidly behind Ahmed Shafik, the man who's promised to bring back the tourists if he's elected president, but you'd be wrong. Today, I gave Morsy. Interesting. Many people here say Shafik, but you say Morsy. > He say Shafik. My wife say Shafik. You get a real sense here in old Cairo of just how exhausted people by a year and a half of political turmoil. They yearn for a return to stability and a return of the tourists. But you also get a sense of just how deeply divided people are here about which of the presidential candidates ` Morsy or Shafik ` can achive that goal. It's not just the tourist industry that's suffering. For more than a year, Egypt has been plagued by petrol shortages. 'We waste hours every day waiting to fill up,' says this man. 'So we can't do as many trips.' Again, you might expect these men to support Shafik. He's promised to end the fuel chaos. Morsy. Morsy. Morsy. > You like Moresy? > Morsy. Yes. Yes. Yes. But the biggest factor could be the huge number who are refusing to choose. Like this family, most Egyptians have decided to sit the election out. 'I do not trust either of them,' says this woman. The majority of Egyptians may abhor the choice, but they are all going to have to live with the result. One more note ` the military council's granted itself sweeping powers as Egypt awaits the official results of the election. The weather's been good for stargazers lately, but now the rain's arrived. A big octopus of fronts and bands of showers is crawling across the north and upper south, For weather, see tvnz.co.nz Spectacular aurora last night.

So what will Games bosses do about it? And the blue blood with a red eye. A mystery ailment for Her Majesty. White flight from NZ classrooms. Tonight on Close Up ` are education standards segregating our kids? Plus ` they're not the boys in blue. Meet the new team on the beat who could be what's missing from the force. They are really happy that we are doing this for the community. Close Up at 7, TV ONE. 1 Fairfax has cashed-in shares in TradeMe, so it now owns just over half of our biggest online auction site. It's sold 15% at a discounted price of $3.50 to raise $200m. The selldown's the second in six years by Fairfax since then Chief Executive David Kirk bought TradeMe from founder Sam Morgan. The media company says it's operating in challenging times, with readership of its newspapers in decline. And readers take note ` Fairfax is also set to charge you for online content. It's also slashing nearly 2000 jobs. Our Australia correspondent Steve Marshall has more on what that means here and across the Tasman. A radical restructuring by an old name to survive in a new digital world. Fairfax in Australia is cutting 1900 jobs and closing two printing presses in Victoria. How can you maintain quality independent journalism with far fewer staff? And we want to hear some answers about that. The internet's the reason for the latest big shake-up in the newspaper industry. The shift to read news online has resulted in falling advertising revenue, but the digital market isn't making up the shortfall. This is a change that is going to be permanent, and it's something that newspapers around the world are facing. From next year, Fairfax's traditional broadsheet newspapers will go the smaller tabloid size, while readers will be charged to view content online. It happened to The Times in London, of course, and they seem to have survived it. But we are taking about Australia's oldest newspapers ` Sydney Morning Herald and The Age, which is 160 years. This is a great departure from their history. Fairfax says the changes will save more than $250m by 2015, but the same won't be happening in NZ. The head of Fairfax's NZ operations, Alan Williams, told me that there are no plans to charge people to access its popular Stuff website or convert its broadsheets, like the Sunday Star Times, Dominion Post and The Press in Christchurch, to a smaller tabloid format. He says the difference is NZ still has single-newspaper markets, unlike papers like the Sydney Morning Herald, which battles Rupert Murdoch's News Limited for readers. Steve Marshall, ONE News, Sydney. A ticket scandal has surfaced just over a month out from the London Olympics. Games bosses are looking at claims more than 50 countries are caught up in the black-market operation. The BBC's James Pearce looks at what a British newspaper uncovered. Reselling the tickets ` this is illegal, actually. Reporters posing as Middle-Eastern ticket touts were offered black-market tickets for as much as ten times their face value. So, this is illegal? Mm-hm. And, yes, in your country... Of course, not for you. But for me, uh, I take a risk, and they catch me, that means your tickets will be, like, cancelled. Right. In just 40 days' time the barriers will be gone and spectators will walk through here to the opening ceremony. With demand for tickets so high, keeping them out of the wrong hands is always going to be one of the toughest challenges for London 2012, and it's come as little surprise that they've failed to keep control over all of those sold on the international market. It's a system that's been used and abused for years. Every country receives its own allocation of Olympic tickets. More than a million have been distributed outside the UK for these games. It was inevitable that some would end up on the black market, but the IOC is promising changes. We will look at the system. We will see what improvements we can build into a more modern system. Last month, the senior Ukrainian Olympic official resigned after being filmed by the BBC offering tickets for cash. Further resignations, or sackings, are likely, following the Sunday Times revelations. The IOC has done much in recent years to stamp out corruption, but the high demand for seats inside this stadium You can see the discomfort caused by a bloodshot left eye. And she's constantly blinking while at one of the world's top-five polo events, the Queen's Cup. Palace officials say nothing untoward has happened and her majesty is in 'fine fettle'. Prince Philip still kept a close eye on his wife from the comfort of the stands. Updating tonight's leading stories. The jury in the Scott Guy murder trial will tomorrow watch at least another hour of the police interview with the accused. So far they've seen Ewen Macdonald deny poaching deer on a nearby farm and setting fire to his brother-in-law's property in the years before the Feilding farmer was killed. Macdonald later admitted involvement in the arson and the poaching. A shrine's been set up by people in the Waikato town of Paeroa for a popular pizza man found dead behind his shop. Police say it's not yet clear if Jordan Voudouris (57) was the victim of foul play. Andrew's here with sport, and the rowers send out a challenge in Germany.

Unbeaten for three years, another gold in Munich was just a matter of quick gear-change at the 500m mark and a clearwater lead all the way. So is Olympic gold looking more likely? It's good in that fact ` that we're still able to win, but we've still got, in our opinion, plenty of things to improve on. Lightweight scullers Peter Taylor and Storm Uru fought for every metre against the fast-finishing French to claim NZ's third gold,... It's very tight. It's that tight. ...right after newcomers Julia Edward and Louise Ayling had made it two. Their Olympic potential underlined as they held off crew after crew to lead from start to finish. And that's a really good confidence boost. After putting in all the hard yards, you know, we're getting` we're getting something out that we want. After putting in all the hard yards, you know, we're getting` we're getting something out that we want. The men's double scullers, Nathan Cohen and Joseph Sullivan, couldn't even make the final three weeks ago, so a silver in unfavoured conditions was a massive confidence boost. The world champion women's pair still have plenty to do to eclipse the British combination. Emma Twigg also won silver as she improved from her last cup regatta. The NZ rowing teams picked up three gold and three silver here at Munich. With such success, perhaps comes the risk of complacency. The last thing they all know they can afford to do is slack off the pace in the six weeks leading up to the London Olympics. Because the difference between gold and silver is getting smaller by the day. Garth Bray, ONE News, Munich. The All Blacks have regrouped in Hamilton conscious they have plenty to work on if they're to sweep the Irish. Eight-Test loose forward Liam Messam has come into camp today as management takes no chances with Kieran Read's head knocks. Here's Stephen Stuart. Forced indoors, where it was even colder than outside, and learning a new skill set today after the severe Test they got on Saturday. The All Blacks wanted to show their support of the NZ Olympic team, and the Black Sticks didn't need a second invitation, making a special day trip to Chiefs country. There was no sign of number-eight Kieran Read, whose head issues from the last two Tests have coaching staff concerned. It's a day-to-day thing, but I think, clearly, we-we'll make a decision based on what's right for Kieran. Versatile loose forward Liam Messam joined the squad today, but admits he may not be the ideal replacement for Reed if one's needed. I haven't really played at eight this year. I've been at six the whole year, so I'll have to adapt really quickly and get next to ready. While it was jolly hockey sticks in Hamilton this afternoon, the forwards know they face a tough week after their struggles at scrum time. They kept coming at us, and we probably crumbled a little bit, and that's something we'll be working on when we get to the training field. The respective captains caught up. And how many tests have you played? Uh, over 150. I think 160 something. So, yeah. And she's only 26. Not bad, is it? And looks in pretty good condition. I'm not sure about that. I'm showing the scars. One All Black couldn't contain his competitive streak My parents played when they were younger. I just want to score the first goal. That's my goal. And some of the forwards probably wished they had these sticks two nights ago to ward off the Irish. Stephen Stuart, ONE News. The Baby Blacks have progressed to the final of the Junior World Championships in South Africa, with a big semi-final win over Wales. After losing to the Welsh in pool play, NZ brought a much harder physical edge to the match, running away with the game in the second half. Inside step. Offloads the ball to Emery. He's almost there. It's a try to NZ! Terrific stuff by the Baby Blacks. Maintaining the pressure. And the stand-out from Manawatu, Jason Emery, crosses the line. NZ won 30-6. They'll face South Africa on home soil in Saturday's final. On a day when experience was expected to shine, a rank outsider has come through the mist in San Francisco to win the US Golf Open. American Webb Simpson is the latest in a string of players to come from nowhere to win a major. Glen Larmer reports. This is Webb Simpson (26). Not the most well-known player, but he has won twice on the PGA Tour; played at the Presidents Cup. Now he's a US Open champion in just his second attempt. I never felt nerves like I did today, and a lot of times, I kind of had to hit my legs because I couldn't really feel them. Simpson wasn't fancied at the start of the day; four shots behind joint leaders and former champions Jim Furyk and Graeme McDowell. A host of others were expected to contend too, like Tiger Woods. That is well long. But his challenge quickly faded with four bogeys and a double in his first six holes, a staggering meltdown for the 14-time major winner. Lee Westwood was another who faded quickly. Lands, like, in a nest up there. Never a good sign when you have to look up to find your ball. Simpson started to emerge midway through the round. Four birdies in five holes and just like that, he was in contention. His outstanding ball striking continued down the stretch, although the last provided some challenges. After an age pondering what to do, this was the outcome of a tricky chip. APPLAUSE He dropped his par putt to finish 1-over. By now, Furyk and McDowell were the only two left standing, but both were battling. Furyk couldn't get a birdie all day, and his game fell apart on the last. In the end, it came down to McDowell. He needed this to force an 18-hole play-off. So Simpson becomes the ninth first-time major winner in a row. The new guard is well and truly established,... (IMITATES BIRD) ...even if the security guards aren't. Enjoy the jail cell, pal. Glen Larmer, ONE News. The Miami Heat hold the advantage in NBA Basketball's Finals Series, beating the Oklahoma Thunder in a tense game three, 91-85. Once again, the pressure was on the Stars to deliver. Oklahoma's Kevin Durant was outplayed on this occasion by the Heat's LeBron James. Harden, meanwhile, loses the ball. James the drive. Count it and one! Durant, his fifth foul, and James puts Miami up by six. The Thunder, who led by 10 in the third quarter, had this to tie the game in the final minute, but it wasn't to be. Miami leads the series 2-1. Game four is in Miami on Wednesday. Big challenges still await the Waikato Bay of Plenty Magic, if they want to make the play-offs in netball's trans-Tasman championship. The Magic were back to their best in beating arch-rivals the Northern Mystics last night, but they'll need more of this, with Adelaide and Queensland to come. I knew she'd do that! The lay-up queen. The Magic are now in the top four, winning 48-46. They're two points behind the Mystics, who end their regular season against Canterbury and New South Wales. The Football World Cup finalists from two years ago have been dumped out of the European Championships without a single point. Rafael van der Vaart opened the scoring for the Netherlands, but the Dutch couldn't hold out Portugal and their star striker. He slotted it through nicely. Cristiano Ronaldo's on side and has his goal. Two in the middle. Ronaldo! Cool as you like. Portugal plays the Czech Republic in the quarter-finals. A shock Danish equaliser in the first half made Germany nervous in the other pool B game. But the powerful Germans closed it out 2-1. They'll play Greece in the quarters. There's been a bizarre end to one of Wimbledon's traditional build-up tournaments. The Queen's tennis final has been decided by disqualification. Argentine veteran David Nalbandian was up one set to love against Croatia's Marin Cilic, but then lost the plot. Oh, that's all over. Yep. I think we might have a disqualification here. PA: Defaults, Mr Nalbandian. I admit that I do a mistake, but sometimes everybody do a mistakes, and I didn't feel that I had to win like that, especially on a final. I'm very sorry. Roger Federer's build-up for Wimbledon has hit a snag. He's been beaten in the final of the Halle Tournament in Germany, losing in straight sets to local veteran Tommy Haas. Scaring the heck out of supporters seems an odd way to attract interest in your sport. But it's a recipe that's paying dividends for our top driver, ahead of this week's Rally NZ. Martin Tasker was the latest victim for Hayden Paddon. ENGINE REVS Testing time for Hayden Paddon and his passenger. Indemnity form. Signing my life away again. What are you hoping to achieve by taking me out? > To scare you hopefully. (CHUCKLES) ENGINE REVS Now, you feeling all right? Well, within certain parameters. ENGINE REVS What do you hope my reaction will be? > Well, if you get scared, I take that as a compliment. ENGINE REVS Any last words? Hmm... Oh, you get a few screamers in the car sometimes. Well, we had someone who got sick when they got out of the car. So, again, I probably took that as a compliment. ENGINE REVS There's nothing like actually being inside the car and experiencing it for yourself. ENGINE REVS I am seriously lost for words. Uh, that was a completely new experience to me. I didn't know you could do that with a car. How close did we come to losing it? Oh, we had a wee moment at the end there, so I will be honest, but, uh, it was all under control the whole time. Control is a relative expression. Martin Tasker, ONE News. Thanks, sport. After the break ` Jim says it's looking wild in the west, including some thunder. Next on Close Up ` should we be worried about white flight from our schools? Is the decile system doing a disservice to future generations of Kiwis? Plus, they're the new faces of street safety. Could these volunteers be what the NZ police have been missing? And not exactly the luck of the Irish. After over a century of losses, could Ireland ever beat us? Close Up's here next, TV ONE.
