Good evening. Troughs can be dirty things, and we've got one. Thunderclouds are hovering off the North Island West Coast. There may even be some hail tonight. Tomorrow, though, is a game of two halves ` squally showers on one half of the country; frost, fog and sunshine for the other. The full story is coming up. 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 William. Tonight ` cold case mystery. She disappeared 19 years ago. Now police confirm a skeleton found on a beach is that of a missing teenage prostitute. Scott Guy's widow tells a court about the puppies police say Ewen Macdonald killed to throw them off the trail. Dead or alive? Confusion over Egypt's former long-time leader as protests escalate against the country's military rulers. And a life of high-flying drama. A major milestone for man who's flown many rescue missions. Kia ora. Good evening. A cold case that's baffled police for almost 20 years is once again an active investigation. That's after DNA tests confirmed a skeleton found on a Port Waikato beach is that of Jayne Furlong, a teenage prostitute who disappeared from Central Auckland's red light district in 1993. Kate Lynch has been following developments for weeks now and joins us now live. Kate. THIS USED TO RENDALL'S DRAPERY - JAYNE FURLONG'S PATCH THE LAST PLACE SHE WAS SEENA LIVE. Just metres from where time and the elements revealed a significant clue in a 19-year-old missing persons case, the police confirmed the skeleton found is that of teenage prostitute Jayne Furlong. Today they told Jayne's mother and her son, who was just a baby when she vanished. Obviously, that's sad day for them today. They've, um, you know, that last bit of hope has been taken away from them. And, um, Aidan didn't know his mum. Obviously at 6-months-old when Mum went missing. This was Jayne Furlong only a month before she vanished in 1993. She'd been filmed by TVNZ for a story on prostitution ` a 17-year-old drug user and a mother to baby Aidan. At the time, Jayne was due to testify in several court cases, sexual and gang-related. Her mother feared the worst. I fear that she could have been murdered. Police too suspected she was the victim of foul play, but there was little they could do until they found her body. Now they've reactivated the case. Well, we have a team today walking around in the rain, trying to find, um, who lived here and, um, the history around the area. Um, we have a big gap to work through from 1993. It took police a month to extract a DNA profile from Jayne Furlong's bones, which they compared with DNA on record. They also found some items of her clothing that helped them make the match Uh, it was a miticulous task by the ESR, and we had to make sure that it was correct, but there is now positive identification. While they may now know who she is, there are still more questions than answers. We don't know what happened to Jayne, and that's the purpose of the investigation, or at whose hands, um, came to Jayne's demise, and that's the purpose of the investigation. Police say someone has been living with the knowledge that Jane Furlong was killed and buried in a lonely sandy grave for almost two decades. Now they need to speak up. Kate, you've been talking to Jayne's mother. How did she take today's news? IT'S BEEN ALMOST 20 YEARS SINCE SHE WENT MISSING, BUT JUDITH'S BEEN PREPARING FOR IT FOR A LONG TIME. SHE HOPES THE POLICE WILL FIND THE KILLER NOW THEY CAN GIVE HER A PROPER FUNERAL. Thanks, Kate. The wife of the man accused of murdering Scott Guy has revealed she confronted him about an arson and graffiti attack on two houses on the family farm. This happened after Ewen MacDonald admitted carrying out those offences. Much of the trial today focused on three puppies police allege MacDonald killed. Simon Bradwell has been in court and joins us now. IT'S BEEN ANOTHER GRIPPING DAY HERE./ Anna MacDonald says she had many questions for her husband after he was arrested for burning down one Guy property and vandalising another. I said to him, 'Why...? Why did you do this?' How could you hate someone to do what he did with the arson and the graffiti? And he said, 'I didn't hate them. It was just a bit of fun, really, and just to annoy them.' Ewen MacDonald's admitted burning down this house and painting abusive graffiti on this one belonging to Scott and Kylee Guy, but denies the murder charge. Much of the rest of today was given to evidence about these brown puppies, the litter from Scott and Kylee Guy's chocolate Labrador Katie. Prosecutors say three pups were taken by Ewen MacDonald to make investigators think the murder was a burglary gone wrong. Talking about them is still emotional for Kylee Guy. Both parents are stunning chocolate Labradors. Both are pure-bred. Um, however, only one papers for dad. Um, sorry. After the killing, Ewen MacDonald told police three were missing ` according to prosecutors, to create a false trail. Well, who would have taken the puppies? And was it a, sort of, a clue in the murder? And did someone take them on purpose? And was it the same person? And in cross-examination, Kylee Guy couldn't be sure Ewen MacDonald knew where the puppies were. Earlier Scott Guy's father said he had seen his son with the puppies the day before his death. I vividly remember the last thing I said to Scott... (EXHALES) was, 'I'll see you in the morning.' And, um,... (CLEARS THROAT) yeah, I said, uh, we were, um,... I had my truck parked by his house. I said, 'I'll see you in the morning.' Despite a public appeal for informatio, which resulted in masses of sightings and tips, police never found the puppies. Simon, we saw Anna MacDonald at the start of your story. What's the vibe been like in court between her and husband Ewen MacDonald? THE LAST TIME ANNA WAS IN COURT, SHE BROKE DOWN IN TEARS. THEY AVOIDED EACH OTHER'S GAZE TODAY. Egypt is right now waking to much uncertainty and more political upheaval. Reports say ousted former president Hosni Mubarak is critically ill and close to death. It comes as tensions rise once again, with tens of thousands protesting at Cairo's Tahrir Square against the country's military council. Correspondent Vivian Salama is there, and we'll cross live to her shortly. First, the ABC's Alex Marquardt reports. The birthplace of the Egyptian revolution, tonight packed with tens of thousands. CHANTING There is joy over the expected victory of Mohamed Morsy in the Arab world's first contested presidential election. Morsy's from the Muslim Brotherhood, which was outlawed for decades, and it appears he's won. There's anger, too, at the country's ruling generals, who have changed the constitution, trying to keep a tight grip on their power. This is part celebration, part warning shot ` a clear declaration to the ruling military council that if they try to hold on to power after this election that the people will go back to the streets. Do you think they will? Yeah, but this will not succeed. The military won't succeed? Yeah, for sure. Look at all the people here, and you will know that the Egyptian revolution will succeed. The scene tonight identical to the ones we saw the very first night of last year's revolution as people demanded an end to the Mubarak dictatorship. And, today, the campaign of Mubarak's last prime minister, Ahmed Shafik, claims that they won the election, a result that, if true, when official results come out on Thursday, could turn these peaceful protests violent. Watching developments for ONE News in Cairo is correspondent Vivian Salama. Vivian, what's the latest on former president Mubarak's health? THIS MORNING WE HEARD THAT HE'S IMPROVED SOMEWHAT. IT WAS REPORTED HE MAY HAVE DIED, BUT THAT'S NOT THE CASE. HIS LAWYERS DISMISSED IT. HE WAS TRANSFERRED. IT'S THE SAME HOSPITAL SADAT, HIS PREDECESSOR WENT INTO HE HAD A STROKE. What has been the reaction on the street to these dramatic developments? JUST WHEN YOU THINK IT COULDN'T GET ANY MORE COMPLICATED. TAHRIR SQUARE IS BEHIND ME ` DEMONSTRATIONS LAST NIGHT,. THE NEWS HAD BROKEN AROUND THE TIME THE SQUARE WAS COMPLETELY FULL. MANY DIDN'T KNOW IF THEY SHOULD BELIEVE IT - THEY WERE SCEPTICAL WE'RE ABOUT 24 HOURS AWAY FROM THE OFFICIAL RESULTS. IT WAS JUST AN ADDED ELEMENT. Thanks, Vivian Salama, live from Cairo's Tahrir Square. 95 IS $2.05 Here at home Waikato police are refusing to be drawn on who they are looking for over the death of paeroa's popular pizza man. Jordon Voudouris (55) was found dead in a pool of blood early Monday morning. His death is being treated as suspicious, but police won't say how he was killed. The scene examination is expected to take another few days, and police are appealing to anyone in the town on Sunday night for more information. Meanwhile local anger over the death is simmering, with many taking to social media to vent. The controversial sale of state assets is likely to be a step closer tonight, and opponents are running out of time. Political reporter Jessica Mutch is following developments and joins us now live. Jess. JUST FEW MINUTES AGO DEBATE STOPPED DINNER BREAK. THEY'LL BE BACK HERE AT 7.30 TO FINISH, COMMITTEE STAGE HERE'S A TASTE OF THAT DEBATE. Then these geniuses come along, so we're flogging off at least 49%. Sad. Sad, sad, sad little man. He knows it's treacherous. He knows it's traitorous. If you're worried about stealing from your grandchildren, burdening them with debt that they don't need, is the biggest part of it. Te Ururoa Flavell ` has he stood up to defend national's treaty clause? You know why? Because all your Maori buddies think it sucks! LAUGHTER IT'S SET TO PASS TONIGHT. IF THAT'S THE CASE, THE ASSET SALES BILL WILL PASS THE FINAL STAGE AS EARLY AS TOMORROW. So, what's the next step in the process? FOCUS ON SELLING SHARES ` WHO IS GOING TO BUY THEM. INTERSTINGLY, BILL ENGLISH TOLD US MINISTERS AND MPS INVOLVED IN THE SALE PROCESS WON'T BE ALLOWED TO BUY ANY SHARES. Thanks, Jessica Mutch at Parliament. A Sky City casino worker who faced disciplinary measures for carrying a pocket bible will keep her job. Tuni Parata was called to a formal meeting by Sky City to discuss her breach of uniform standards. Following the talks this afternoon, Sky City decided to take no further action. We feel comfortable that she would be able to keep that bible with her at work, as long as she doesn't take it out during the course of carrying out her duties. Sky City says the public backlash was understandable, but misplaced. It claims Tuni Parata was never going to be dismissed for carrying the bible at work. An Auckland man who survived three days lost in the Hunua Ranges HAS GONE TO HOSPITAL Ronnie Fong entered the Ranges prepared only for a day walk when he confused a DOC bait line for a marked track. A police dog picked up his scent last night, and he was found at the bottom of a dam. And he struggled to keep warm, so what he did was cover himself with fronds and tried to cake mud on him to make an insulation layer. But that failed, so he basically, um, just got up and kept moving to keep warm. Rescuers say Mr Fong had a few more supplies on him than they originally thought and kept himself alive through sheer determination. One of those who spent the weekend looking for Ronnie Fong has a special celebration of his own. The Hunua search was mission number 2001 for Westpac Rescue helicopter paramedic Chris Deacon. And that makes him one of only two paramedics in his specialist field to make that milestone. He talked to Ruth Wynn-Williams. Do you have any nausea at all? It's a simple question, but 30km away from the nearest hospital, it's critical. If his condition went untreated for another 48 hours, he'd probably be in a box. A situation Westpac Rescue paramedic Chris Deacon has experienced thousands of times. That's my 2000th patient I've transported. 19 years of emergency response from the air to the ground. We suspected a spinal injury. He's got pain in his chest. Going to extreme measures to help those most at need. (GROANS) You just see everything ` car accidents, medical complaints ` the highs and lows of, uh, people's lives. To do 2000 missions, uh, quite unique, and he joins a very elite band. Just the second aeroparamedic in the country to have made so many vital flights. You know, I'm not a hero at all. I'm just like any other Kiwi that, you know, You know, I'm not a hero at all. I'm just like any other Kiwi that, you know, puts his trousers on one leg at a time and goes to work. Hopefully remembers his undies. (CHUCKLES) An emergency service he's happy to give to the community... Wouldn't mind a good-looking nurse from the other end, with a bit of luck. ...with the occasional bonus. A banana cake's my favourite. (CHUCKLES) With chocolate icing. A personal appeal to help fuel another 2000 missions. Ruth Wynn-Williams, ONE News. Still to come on ONE News ` training the tradesmen to rebuild Christchurch. There's money in the kitty, so why isn't it being spent? We have the remarkable survival story of a teenager speared in the head while fishing. And a new user-pays rubbish system for the Auckland supercity. What it means for your rates. Then, at 7, get a Close Up encounter of the Conchords kind. The Government's under fire over its efforts to boost the number of tradespeople to help rebuild Christchurch. It comes after revelations that only a fraction of the $42m specifically allocated for the training of tradespeople, has been spent. Political editor Corin Dann explains. It was May last year when John Key trumpeted the $42m tertiary training boost for Christchurch. If you don't have the skills, then we simply can't get the job done. But 13 months on and some industries in the city are still crying out for more trained workers. We're struggling very very hard. We can't find anybody. Um, you know, I've got, uh` for me, I've had an employment broker with WINZ since January, and he's found nobody for me. Labour says, for many firms, it means having to recruit overseas. The Government put forward a skills package for Canterbury of $40m. That was a good thing. In a year, they've spent $7m, and we still have got people on the ground in Christchurch who want to do training. We've got providers who want to provide, and yet the money is just sitting there. The Government acknowledges migrant workers will be a part of the rebuild, but says it has a vast array of training work underway in Canterbury and has allocated as much as it can, given the delays and uncertainties with the rebuild. The reality is it takes time, and you can't frogmarch people into, uh, into trades training. Um, but we have got skills brokers, both in the private sector, but also in MSD. Uh, we've got the polytechnics very active. They are all out advertising. To be fair to the Government, it isn't organising training to meet demand given the delays with the rebuild. For some trades like scaffolding, there's too much work. For other tradespeople like builders, they're are finding there's not enough work yet to justify staying in the city. Meanwhile, one of the city's key training providers, Christchurch's Polytech, says it's got a lot of interest in its trades courses, with the number of students enrolled up 37% this year. Corin Dann, ONE News. Meanwhile, a Christchurch businessman has used Facebook to name Earthquake Commission assessors he claims the public should be wary of. But, as Mike Thorpe reports, that's brought a swift reaction from the Commission and the threat of legal action. EQC has 200 assessors inspecting quake-damaged Christchurch homes, Now two have been named on the Consumer Advocates Facebook page as people homeowners should not deal with. There tends to be dispute arise up after these people have visited, and people have just got enough stress without having to deal with a dispute. He says he has about 50 complainants. The page carries two postings criticising the specific assessors. One says,... EQC didn't want to appear on camera, but it did release this strongly worded statement. It says it's one thing to go online and attack EQC, and quite another to single out individual staff and post details about them which potentially expose them to harassment and physical harm. It also says it's investigating legal action over what it views as defamatory statements ` action that Mr Cattermole says he'd welcome. In the courts, that would force a disclosure of, you know, how many complaints are actually received about these people. You know, because they need to be brought forward, and if EQC aren't dealing with the problems, then someone needs to. EQC has given no timeframe on its decision over taking legal action. Mike Thorpe, ONE News. People living in south-east Australia have been checking for property damage after being rocked by a rare earthquake. The 5.3 magnitude quake struck 135km east of Melbourne, shaking buildings and sending people diving for cover. I was teaching on the second floor, and the student said, 'It's an earthquake! It's an earthquake!' And I said, 'No, it can't be an earthquake cos Melbourne doesn't have earthquakes.' There've been more than 50 aftershocks, but no reports of injury or major damage. European leaders at the G-20 summit in Mexico say they'll take all necessary measures to tackle their debt crisis, and US president Barack Obama say he's encouraged by their plans. Greece has been high on the agenda, and politicians there are continuing talks to try to form a coalition government. The New Democracy Party, which won the most seats, supports the austerity programme needed to secure financial help from Europe, but it needs the backing of other parties. Meanwhile austerity measures in spain have led to violent clashes between police and striking mine workers. The strikers fired homemade rockets at police, who retaliated with rubber bullets. Thousands of miners are protesting over the government's cuts to mining subsidies. An American teenager is recovering after an operation to remove a 90cm fishing spear from his skull. Yasser Lopez (16) was airlifted to hospital in Florida. Here you can see the spear sticking out of his head. It had entered above his right eye and passed through the skull, but fortunately missed his brain. Yasser is still suffering from some amnesia, but doctors are positive about a full recovery. Now to the day's weather. Do we have some thunder out there somewhere? For weather, see tvnz.co.nz/news Cardrona skifield opens on Friday. Looking pretty good up there. Tomorrow's forecasts after sport. Up next on ONE News ` the rubbish question. What to expect from the new plan just approved for the supercity. And a friend in high places.

Plus ` Jemaine. Bret. Really close up to each other. Almost cuddling,... ...but not. Close Up at 7, TV ONE. 1 The grand plan to reduce Auckland's rubbish has finally been approved by council after months of debate. The cost of waste disposal will be standardised across the supercity, which means some will save money, while others pay more. Sharon Fergusson has the details. Rubbish collections in some parts of the supercity are currently paid for in the rates bill. But under a new plan voted in today, those areas will join the rest of Auckland, paying for them separately. The primary focus here is waste minimisation. We're encouraging our communities to manage their waste streams and put out less that's going to the landfill in particular and trying to recycle more. The move to consistency will bring a reduction in rates for some. It'll be quite clear for places like North Shore and Waitakere, who are currently user payers and predominantly user payers. They pay a much smaller amount in their rates compared to Manukau and Auckland. So their rates component will show up transparently. The potential costs and savings depends on where you live ` so what your rates bill is at the moment ` and how much rubbish that your home might produce. But, basically, the average home in Waitakere will pay around $80 a year more. The average home in Rodney around $14 a year less. But some are worried there'll be even more bins cluttering the yard. The minimum number of bins is two. That's the recycling bin and the rubbish bin, unless you're in the rural area or in the Gulf Islands, where you may just choose to use bags. Um, but there is the ability to have the third bin, which is the food-waste bin. 8 for three years; even longer in some places where rubbish-collection contracts have to expire before changes can be made. Sharon Fergusson, ONE News. For details on how the rubbish plan will affect your area, go to our website ` onenews.co.nz The country's 8500 police officers could face a pay freeze as the force faces budget constraints. Police Minister Anne Tolley refused to answer questions at select committee today. But Commissioner Peter Marshall says no officer will have their pay reduced. We're right smack in the middle of the negotiations, and I expect those` the negotiations to continue tomorrow, so I'll just leave that question in abeyance, but there won't be any reduction. 126 non-sworn positions are being cut as police try to find savings. The Returned Services Association's received a significant donation from a surprising source. Wargaming America, which hosts the online game War of Tanks, has given the rsa more than $30,000. But some are questioning whether the donation is appropriate. Rebecca Edwards reports. HEROIC MUSIC It's realistic and intense... HEROIC MUSIC ...and marketed as an opportunity for players to dominate the globe with tank supremacy. Now the American company which hosts this multi-player online World War II game, World of Tanks, has donated around $31,000 to our RSA. It's so valuable for our cause that we'd love to see it happen again. A US Army captain announced the donation following a three-day Anzac charity drive by the website. Players were encouraged to show their support for Australian and NZ veterans. They sacrificed themselves, their lives, their colleagues, their loved ones, and, uh, I think it's just as much a token of respect. But some are questioning just how appropriate the donation is. So often we hear words from RSA, uh, 'It must never happen again.' But to promote something which glorifies, uh, such hideous violence seems to be, um, counterproductive. And I don't see that as being an issue of glorifying war or anything else. It's a vehicle through which they can express their electronic urges, if you like, and I don't have any difficulty with us having profit from that for our veterans. With 20 million registered players worldwide, Wargaming America says a large proportion of those playing World of Tanks are veterans. The RSA says the donation will go into its trust for the welfare of members. Rebecca Edwards, ONE News. Prince William is calling for an end to the illegal trade in rhino horn, warning the animals are in danger of extinction. He says the rhino-poaching epidemic makes him extremely angry. Demand is driven by an Asian market that believes the powdered horn can cure many illnesses, including cancer. It's a message about educating people and understanding that when you buy that rhino horn or when you buy ivory, you are taking this from an animal that has been slaughtered for this decorative ornament you have on your mantelpiece or you have at home. Is that really what you desire and you think is right in the world? The Prince was speaking ahead of a United Nations conference on poaching. Looking at our top stories tonight. Police have revealed the identity of a skeleton found at Port Waikato is that of Jane Furlong, who's been missing for almost 20 years. The 17-year-old prostitute was last seen alive on Auckland's Karangahape Road in 1993. A homicide investigation's underway. The wife of the man accused of murdering Scott Guy has revealed she confronted him about an arson and graffiti attack on two houses on the family farm. Much of today's evidence focussed on three puppies that police allege Ewen MacDonald killed to create a false trail. There's increasing political uncertainty in Egypt, with reports ousted former president Hosni Mubarak is close to death. Tens of thousands of people have been protesting in Cairo's Tahrir Square against the military council. Andrew's here now with sport, and two more Olympians are confirmed for London? We also take a look at the Olympic candidate who's ditched his plans for London. Also tonight, what's rugby's biggest test in the next seven days? And it's not the Irish. Plus, look who's back with a Twenty20 spring in his step. Football's goal line debate flares up again.

For six months tennis player Marina Erakovic waited nervously for the NZ Olympic Committee to make a decision. Now she's going. So what was the clincher? Toni Street explains. I'm delighted to confirm that the selectors have agreed to select Marina Erakovic for the London Olympic Games. Months of waiting finally over for the country's top tennis player. I've been waiting for a wee while now, so it was terrific. I felt so happy now I know I'm going, and i think that peace of mind definitely helps on the court. The off-court process has been stressful for Marina Erakovic, particularly as results haven't gone her way in recent weeks. The NZOC's criteria are that a player be capable of finishing inside the top 16. Erakovic's world ranking is 45, but several factors swayed the selectors. Particularly this year, Marina has reached the quarter-finals in four tournaments or further, so that's important. She has beaten players in the top sixteen in the world on more than one occasion. We also know that Marina's win-loss record on grass has proven to be more competitive than people might anticipate. The 23-year-old was preparing for the worst. It would have been pretty disappointing. It's something that I really wanted to do, to be a part of, and obviously since I did qualify by international standards, it would have hurt quite a bit. That's been the case for many tennis players worldwide, as a maximum of four from each country can enter. Those criteria will help Erakovic's chances. It's estimated she'll be ranked inside the top 30 of the Olympic field. Warming up at Wimbledon, the Olympic venue, will also help. I definitely think there are advantages for me on that surface, and I don't know if anyone's been to Wimbledon, but it's a really special place, and for the Olympics to be held there, it's quite a milestone for tennis. Just getting to London, a major milestone in itself. Toni Street, ONE News. When weightlifter Richard Patterson was selected for the Games today, his teammate Tevita Ngalu, who's not going, was at the forefront of his mind. Patterson has promised to buy something special for Naglu in London after he helped him qualify with a gutsy performance at the Oceania Champs. 157kg clean and jerk on his final attempt, basically on one leg for a lot of pain, um, just to secure points to help me get to London. Patterson's selection in the 85kg class today takes the number of confirmed Kiwi competitors to 185, but that could rise to over 200 if the basketball teams qualify in the coming weeks. World Cup football hero Winston Reid has chosen club over country, turning his back on playing for NZ at the Games. Reid was to be named as one of the three overaged players in the under-23 squad. Instead, he wants to lock down his place at newly promoted premier league club West Ham, forcing NZ football to put on a brave face. We're actually going to have an extremely strong side out. Between nine and 12 of the players will have All White caps, so that's the strongest team we've ever sent to an Olympics, due to the influx of young players we've had come through recently. Reid's replacement will be named tomorrow. And a first ever ride in the Tour de France has all but guaranteed Kiwi cyclist Greg Henderson a ticket to the London Games. The 35-year-old will finally debut on road cycling's biggest stage as part of the Lotto-Belisol team when the tour starts in two weeks. Bike NZ has said any Kiwi rider on the tour will likely get a berth in the Olympics road race as well. That would make Henderson a five-time Olympian, but, ironically, his first appearance in the road race. While the All Blacks prepare for the third Test against ireland, the biggest issue facing rugby in the next week surrounds the Super competition. It's been on hold for a month, but resumes next week with two crucial local derbies. So will the returning All Blacks be too battered to make an impact? Stephen Stuart reports. The Chiefs play the Highlanders next Friday night, which could mean little rest for young Test forwards Brodie Retallick and Sam Cane. It may be a case of trying to freshen up a couple of those guys at some stage over the next three weeks. For the Crusaders, it's an even bigger challenge. They had eight in last weekend's 22, with most of those players likely to back up again in Hamilton then turn out against the Hurricanes next week. The most concern surrounds number eight Kieran Read. Obviously it's serious when he's got a head knock, and then he played at the weekend and got another one, and if they keep playing him, it could get quite serious. SANZAR officials will review the June break, but there can't be any major changes until the end of 2015 when the current TV deal expires. They did look at playing one round without Test players, but that was canned. The NZRU high-performance team will help bring the players back into their Super sides. This is an unknown for us. We've got a call with Don Tricker on Friday, just looking at the management of the players and where they're at. On the other hand, some unused Test squad members now haven't played for three weeks. Like a couple of highlanders. Hose and Tamati have played every game for the Highlanders this year. With that in mind, it's good reward to be part of the All Black environment, but also having a bit of a breather. Which they got with today off, although few were planning to chill out in Hamilton. Go to Raglan and surf when it's not as cold, but, yeah, it's not really Hamilton, I suppose. I'm not really plugging the city all that well. You'd think the wild Raglan coastline would appeal to the Irish team, but they're not here. In fact, they don't even arrive in the Waikato until tomorrow, preferring to prepare in Queenstown. Stephen Stuart, ONE News. And a first ever ride in the Tour de France It happened at the World Cup in South Africa. Now at the European championships. But this time England has benefited from football's refusal to use goal line technology. Two years ago, Frank Lampard had a goal disallowed. Today it was England's opponents, Ukraine, crying foul. The score is 1-0 to England, thanks to Wayne Rooney's strike in the 47th minute. There's just under half an hour left in the game, and Euro 2012 hosts Ukraine desperately need a goal to stay in the tournament. Turned it nicely for Devic to finish. Oh, he has, has he? Has it crossed the line? There are five officials on the pitch. Look where two of them are standing. You've got to ask yourself: how on earth did they miss it? Oh my word. Ironically, the incident happening just two weeks before goal-line technology's expected to be introduced. You have to say that looks as though it was in. Ukraine never recovered from the setback. Had the goal been allowed, you'd have backed them to score again. Instead they hung on. They'll play Italy in the quarters. They need a goal, and they have two up here. Ibrahimovic! What a goal! What a goal for Ibrahimovic! Sweden finish bottom of the group, yet they looked like they should be going through to the last eight instead of the flaky French. Quite magnificent! The Swedes winning 2-0. France now face world and European champions Spain. You don't fancy their chances. Sweden have done it! Craig Stanaway, ONE News. Daniel Vettori has made himself available for the Twenty20 Cricket World Cup in Sri Lanka in three months. The former Blackcaps skipper retired from international Twenty20s last year to play just Tests. But he wants a crack at a World Cup win. I've performed well for NZ in that form of the game, so` < So, was it a 'Dan, we need you; come back'? No, not at all. It was, uh, 'We'd love to have you back. What do you think about it?' Vettori says it's probably the last chance for a number of Blackcaps'veterans to win a world cup together. He'll play against India in a Twenty20 series in September before the world cup. The Miami Heat are just one win away from glory in the NBA basketball finals, but there were nervous moments during game four today in Miami. The Heat having to haul in a 17-point deficit. Russell Westbrook was the Oklahoma Thunder's main strike weapon. Then there was some fourth-quarter drama for Miami. Their star LeBron James appearing to suffer an injury ` cramps eventually forcing him from the game. With James off the court, young guard Mario Chalmers stepped up. Chalmers on the drive. Gets inside and banks it in. What a performance tonight from Mario Chalmers! The 104-98 win gives the Heat a 3-1 lead in the best-of-seven series. Game five is on Friday in Miami. Our top rally driver goes into his home event this weekend looking to further make his mark on the international stage. But Hayden Paddon (25) is on the verge of a major breakthrough thanks to someone more than twice his age. Martin Tasker reports. A quiet drive in the country on a recce for John Kennard as befits a grape grower from Blenheim, except this is the view when he's really earning his spurs ` calling the shots for Hayden Paddon. Seven right, over 80, short five thrust. Kennard (53) has been co-driviong for Paddon for seven years, guiding the rising star through their very own rally language. Each one is personal. So, you try and keep it simple. You try and keep it clear and keep the word so they don't get mistaken, so when I say one word to him, he doesn't think I'm saying something else. Give us an example of something you might say. Uh, five right and tightens over crest, long into six left opens. It paints an exact picture in my head of exactly what the upcoming road is, and I drive to what I hear, not to what I see, and so he's absolutely crucial. Five left plus opens long. Strong nerves? Um,... no. Well, I guess you have to have, but I never really ever think about it. I mean, you know it's a dangerous sport we do, but other than that, it's just the same trust that Hayden shows in me with the notes I show in him as a driver. Chances this year, this rally? Um, extremely good. It's a rally we know really really well, so every chance of a very very good result. If we're not top 10, I think we'll definitely be disappointed. Qualifying is in Hellensville tomorrow. Thanks, sport. After the break, frost fog and thunder ` you name it, Jim's got it in the forecast. Power to the people. Tonight on Close Up ` what's the cost to consumers of asset sales? We look at the billing bottom line. Plus... Jermaine. Brett. Really close up. To each other. Almost cuddling. But not. Close Up at 7, TV ONE. Hi, again. Fairly calm out there for most, but look out off the northern West Coast ` a band of angry clouds with thunder has just come ashore. For weather, see tvnz.co.nz/news The sunniest sports for tomorrow's shortest day are the southern West Coast and the northern East Coast. And that's ONE News this Wednesday.
