Heavy thundery rain has fallen on western parts of the South Island, as forecast. Over 150mm so far for Milford Sound. Gale-force winds are blasting eastern Wairarapa, the hills around Wellington and the higher parts of the main divide. That nor'wester also pushing Christchurch and Kaikoura into the 20s. Later in the news hour, I'll have the latest rain and wind warnings for you. 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 Peter Williams and Bernadine Oliver-Kerby. Tonight ` their daughter's killer is getting out in the community ` why Karen Jacobs' parents say they're powerless to stop it. A call for help written in toothpaste ` what prison protesters want from a high-powered lawyer. Her family's been the target of bombings and hatred, so why will the Queen shake hands in Northern Ireland? And take a careful look at these images ` the art emerging from Christchurch's ruins. We begin tonight with revelations a murderer jailed for life is now out in the community for up to a week at a time. TV ONE's Sunday programme has discovered Gareth Smither gets supervised leave from Christchurch's Hillmorton Hospital under our mental health laws. But as Paul Hobbs reports, the parents of the ex-girlfriend he killed are appalled. It's a revelation that's left the Watsons reeling. I think it's horrendous, really worrying for everybody. Gareth Smither was sentenced to life behind bars after savagely murdering a former girlfriend, Karen Jacobs, in her Dunedin home 15 years ago. One of the most horrific scenes I've ever seen in my police career of 40 years. Smither became eligible for parole five years ago, but the Parole Board continues to deny him freedom. But as a result of Smither's serious mental-health problems, the responsibility for his care and rehabilitation has by law been transferred from the prison to mental-health authorities. And under mental-health laws, Smither has been allowed supervised leave into the community for up to a week at a time. It's a development that's outraged victim support groups. It seems to us absolutely ludicrous that you've got a situation where parole has been denied year after year after year, but yet because this guy has got a mental health problem and he goes into the hospital system, they are able to release him for up to one week. If a person is well enough to go to the community, one would think they should return to prison in order to serve out their sentence. The Watsons feel powerless. We couldn't stop it. It's the mental health that control him now. We couldn't stop it. It's the mental health that control him now. Just three weeks ago the Parole Board stated that Smither still needs to undergo a violence prevention programme before they would begin consider him for final release into the community. Paul Hobbs, ONE News. And you'll hear more from the Watsons, plus the government's reaction on Sunday tomorrow night from half past 7. ONE News has confirmed alcohol was a factor in the death of one of our navy sailors. William Delamere (22) was killed in a motor scooter crash while on shore leave in the Cook Islands. Sharon Fergusson has more. Docked in Rarotonga, the flag on the HMNZS Otago is at half mast as crew mourn the loss of a shipmate and friend, Able Seaman William Delamere. We've suffered a loss, and we're making sure that we support the family particularly, but also the ship's company of Otago. The combat specialist (22) came off a motor scooter in the early hours of the morning after hitting the traffic island at this intersection. We can confirm at this time that alcohol was involved and that no other parties were involved in the accident. The accident happened near the wharf where Otago is docked. First-aid crew from the ship were first on the scene, but William Delamere died in hospital an hour later. He's a very effective young man` was a very effective young man with lots of potential, and we're devastated that we have lost him. The Otago's been on patrol in the Pacific for a month doing fisheries inspections. A few weeks ago, it attended Samoa's Independence Day celebrations and just a fortnight ago delivered the Governor General to the Tokelau islands. Today the Governor General described its crew as tight-knit, hard-working and highly skilled. William Delamere's body will be returned home next week. Sharon Fergusson, ONE News. A body believed to be that of a missing moutainbiker has been found in Lower Hutt's Belmont Regional Park. Lance Kaiki (43) was last seen heading for a bike ride on Thursday. Police say his death is not suspicious and is being referred to the coroner. We're learning about a protest at NZ's toughest jail, with two inmates still holed up after nearly 32 hours. The pair have been communicating from Auckland prison at Paremoremo by writing on a window with toothpaste. Kate Lynch with developments. They want us to know just why they're there and who can explain their grievances. Inadequate education, inadequate visiting, inadequate access to their families, inadequate food and a lack of humane conditions. Defence lawyer Peter Williams is one of our most outspoken defenders of prisoners' rights. He says he's never acted for Aaron 'Houdini' Forden or the other inmate, but he'd be happy to help coax them out. I would have liked to have gone. I would have listened to their grievances, and I would have discussed mediation with the Corrections department. I would have had no hesitation at all in going and seeing these people. Mr Williams says he's been part of several successful prison negotiations but the response from Corrections is 'no, thanks'. It's issued a statement saying it has trained negotiators already at Pareromoremo. It adds that... I think there will be more trouble in the prisons until some of the fundamental faults are remedied. Prisoners are human beings, and they have a right to self-esteem. They have a right to dignity. They have a right to a life which is healthy and a life that will hopefully help them with their problems. Corrections believes the pair will come down when they're tired and hungry enough. Colder temperatures and heavy rain forecast for overnight could dictate just how long that takes. Kate Lynch, ONE News. Rescuers have just found two more bodies from a capsized asylum seeker boat, taking the death toll to five. But dozens more are still missing after the vessel carrying up to 200 people went down north of Christmas Island two days ago. With the latest on the search mission, here's our Australia correspondent, Steve Marshall. A FULL SCALE SEARCH RESUMED THIS MORNING. THAT STRONG WINDS, 2m SWELLS AND WHITE CAPS ON THE OCEAN ARE HAMPERING THEIR EFFORTS. They're the lucky ones. Injured but still alive, the last of the 109 survivors arrive at Christmas Island. Some were taken away by ambulance. Earlier, three were flown to Perth for treatment. Masoud fears his friend is one of them. These pictures taken by the crew of a merchant ship capture the frantic rescue mission. About 40 asylum-seekers scramble from the upturned hull to safety. Navy boats and surveillance planes will keep searching for survivors, but the reality is it's now a recovery mission. I am advised that as of this morning that weather conditions are deteriorating. Confusion remains over exactly when authorities first knew the boat was in distress. The official word from the Australian Government is midnight on Tuesday, but Indonesian authorities say they received a fax from Australian search and rescue six hours before that. Can you explain the discrepancy? I haven't seen that document, but I'm keen to have a look at it to see whether there was earlier information, because if there is, that's something I want to get to the bottom of. With the Government and the Opposition deadlocked over where to process asylum seekers, there are calls from within Parliament to take action to avoid more tragedy. I feel ashamed to be part of this organisation at the moment, not my party ` part of the whole concept. It's going to the lesser common denominator here. It's a dumb-and-dumber competition, right. Let's get better. The bitter border-protection policy debate is sure to hit top gear when Parliament resumes this week. 18 FEDERAL POLICE OFFICERS ARRIVED ON THE ISLAND TO BEGIN WHAT'S BELIEVED TO BE A CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION. ONCE THE NUMBER OF FATALITIES HAVE BEEN CONFIRMED, IT'S EXPECTED TO BE AUSTRALIA'S LARGEST PEACE-TIME TRAGEDY AT SEA, SURPASSING THE 50 ASYLUM SEEKERS WHO DIED WHEN THEIR BOAT SMASHED INTO CHRISTMAS ISLAND'S JAGGED ROCKS IN 2010. Australia correspondent Steve Marshall. A mass killer will be sentenced in two months after his trial ended in controversy. Families walked out of court, sickened by how Anders Breivik tried to justify the deaths of 77 people. The BBC's Richard Galpin is covering the case in Norway. On the final day of this trial, Breivik was brought into court knowing it was the last chance to convince the judges he is sane and can be held accountable for what he did and so be sent to prison. He fears being declared instead a paranoid schizophrenic and being forced to have treatment in a secure psychiatric ward. His lawyer spent more than two hours telling the court that what Breivik did was the result of his extremist ideology, not because he was ill. PEOPLE CRY For Breivik, those political enemies included teenagers attending a youth camp organised by the governing Labour Party on the island of Utoya. Here he methodically shot dead 67 people simply because their party allows Muslim migrants to settle in Norway. In court today Breivik gave his final statement about the killings. Relatives of those killed and survivors walked out of court before they had to listen to yet more of Breivik's chilling ideology. Whatever happens, if he goes to an institution or a prison, we will never see him again. They will, sort of, throw away the key. I hope that I don't have to see his face in the papers or on the television every day. With the trial now over, Breivik will have to wait until August before the judges announce his fate ` whether he'll go to prison or a secure psychiatric ward. One more note ` the Norwegian government's revealed plans for two memorials to Breivik's victims at the attack sites. The Queen's set to take a significant step in embracing peace with the Irish Republican Army. She'll shake hands with Martin McGuinness, a former commander of the organisation that killed one of her close relatives 33 years ago. This from the BBC's Mark Simpson. On the Queen's recent visit to Ireland, sIN fein refused to meet her. But now the party has changed its mind. And the former IRA leader Martin McGuinness will meet the monarch in Belfast next week. The decision was announced by the party's leader, Gerry Adams. We don't have to do it. We're doing to because we think it's the right thing to do. Martin McGuinness is the deputy first minister of Northern Ireland. He used to be a wanted man. He was a key figure in the IRA. The IRA always viewed the royal family as the enemy. They killed Lord Mountbatten in 1979. His death hit the royal family hard, especially Prince Charles. In a recent documentary, he spoke about it. The awful thing was that he'd be warned not to go to Ireland, but he always thought everyone around was very friendly. It was one of those desperate things. In the years following the murder of Lord Mountbatten, Northern Ireland wasn't deemed safe enough for the Queen to visit. But the peace process changed everything. The once unthinkable became possible, culminating in the Queen's first visit to Dublin last year. British-Irish relations have been transformed. The meeting with Martin McGuinness will take place on Wednesday. It's likely to be in front of the cameras, and they are expected to shake hands. Not everyone is in favour of the meeting, but the opposition is small. There's support for the historic encounter from most people in Ireland and Britain. The Queen's been to Northern Ireland 19 times during her 60-year reign. Still ahead on ONE News ` a promise of action at the Rio Earth Summit, but find out why actress Lucy Lawless is among those demanding more be done. A world first for the tiny Pacific nation of Tokelau ` how it's harnessing solar power for a brighter future. And an artist's bold view from out of the ruins of Christchurch's quake-ravaged CBD. It's annoying when things aren't complete, especially when you've got all the symptoms of cold and flu. Lemsip All in One is designed to help a chesty cough,... headache, fever, blocked nose and sore throat. It's our most complete remedy ever. So you get all the help you need. Available in hot drinks or convenient capsules. Combine NZ's trusted brands so you don't lose a day. The Earth Summit was billed as a once in a generation chance to turn the world on to a sustainable track. But world leaders in Rio are under attack for failing to find concrete solutions to escalating environmental crises. And as Sophie Baird reports, eco-warrior Lucy Lawless is in the thick of it. The goals were clear and commendable ` tackling poverty and protecting the environment. We have said Rio+20 is about implementation. It is about action. But where is that action, ask environmentalists. There are a lot of long faces the last couple of days. They were disgusted, a bit depressed. We are playing political poker with the future of our planet by not acting with the urgency that the situation calls for. What has happened in Rio is weak language with no timelines. The 188 countries agreed to come up with ways to make global growth environmentally sustainable by 2015, but some governments are openly saying it lacks firm financial commitment and specific targets. Not ours, though. It's modest, but it's progress. And I don't want to oversell it, but you can't escape the fact that we have made some gains in some of the areas that certainly are important to NZ. Gains she's hoping can reverse a big slide in our clean, green global image. On Yale University's environmental index, NZ has plummeted from first to 14th over the past six years. I'll be absolutely up front that I think NZ doesn't claim to have solved all the problems, but what I think you can't escape is that, actually, we have made incredible progress. Unbelievable progress according to eco-warrior and Kiwi actress Lucy Lawless. She blew my mind when she said that. You know, we have a woeful recent history, and that's at odds with the way we see ourselves. The Government says it's trying to find a balance between environmental responsibility and economic growth, a tough ask for a country pinning its future success on increasing fossil fuel exports. Sophie Baird, ONE News. You can see the full interviews with Lucy Lawless and Amy Adams on Q+A here on TV ONE tomorrow morning from 9 o'clock. The crisis in Syria is escalating with Syria claiming responsibility for shooting down a Turkish war plane it claims was flying inside its territorial waters. The Turkish military reported the F-4 Phantom of the type shown here disappeared two hours after taking off. A search for the two pilots is still underway. Meanwhile in Syria, new video has emerged, purporting to show peaceful demonstrators being fired upon by government forces in Aleppo. Thousands of protesters have been filling the streets across Egypt as pressure mounts on authorities to hand over results of the country's presidential elections. The Muslim Brotherhood is claiming victory, and supporters gathered in Cairo's Tahrir Square to let off fireworks. It's accusing the ruling military council of doing all it can to maintain its grip on power. There's been an historic guilty verdict in the case of an American Catholic Church official who shielded priests known to be sex predators. For years Monsignor William Lynn was in charge of investigating sex-abuse allegations against priests in Philadelphia. Instead a jury found he covered up for them, moving priests suspected of abuse from one congregation to another. Today's verdict is a monumental victory for all the named and unnamed victims of child sexual assault. Lynn now faces up to seven years in prison. Tokelau is about to become the first country in the world to be entirely powered by solar energy. The tiny NZ territory relies on diesel generators, but that's about to change. Pacific correspondent Barbara Dreaver has been in Tokelau. Tokelau radiates energy. Now it plans to harness it. By the end of this year we will be the first country in the world to meet our need with renewable energy. NZ's giving $7m to provide solar power for 1400 people. It's really going to give them a huge sounding board for overcoming some of the issues that global warming is threatening them with. Tokelau's three tiny atolls are flat and isolated. The only link to the outside world is by ship. They get their electricity from diesel generators, which burn around 200 litres of imported fuel a day. 2000 barrels are brought in each year, so solar power will dramatically cut financial and environmental costs. Everybody is excited. The work's being done by the villagers themselves in a central area on each of the islands. Solar panels on roofs was ruled out because they rust being so close to the sea. The roofs are changed quite regularly and it would have been a quite a hassle. So, to actually have it as a freestanding thing on its own is probably a much better idea. But some traditions will remain. Solar power will make little difference to this open-air communal style of cooking that the Tokelauans have done for generations. Instead of being at the mercy of the harsh sun, Tokelauans will be using it to improve their lives. Barbara Dreaver, ONE News. Weather time now, and there's been some heavy rain in the west of the South Island, Karen? Yes, very heavy in some places with decent spill-over into the eastern foothills. Milford Sound leading the way on over 150mm. This photo was taken in Greymouth. Around 30mm of rain, over half of it in just a couple of hours this afternoon, hence the flooding. We still have a heavy rain warning in place for these areas for the next couple of hours or so. And there could still be damaging gusts up around 120km/h in these places tonight. For weather, see onenews.co.nz I'll have your Sunday forecast after sport, also a road snowfall warning. Still to come on ONE News ` a deadline looms for a dairy giant facing an historic vote on its future. And the parade must go on despite a soggy start to one of the highlights of Queenstown's Winter Festival. 1 The battle's heating up over dairy giant Fonterra's controversial trading-among-farmers proposal. The scheme will enable investors to buy units in Fonterra and earn dividends from the dairy giant, leaving some fearing there'll be less money available for the milk price paid to farmers. Rebecca Edwards has the story. Wairarapa dairy farmer Graeme Stuart's already cast his vote on Fonterra's proposal to let outsiders invest in the cooperative. Everyone must vote. This is a very critical piece of structure for our co-op. Structure Fonterra says is needed for the company to expand and provide a buffer when markets or growing conditions go bad. Fonterra says so far more than half of its 10,500 shareholders have cast an advance vote. The last chance for those who haven't will be on Monday at eight meetings taking place around the country. As that voting deadline looms, groups opposing the trading-among-farmers scheme, known as TAF, have been pushing their message. There are positive solutions with a conservatively valued cooperative share that can be put in place in future. And Fonterra is not at risk if we vote TAF down. But Fonterra says voting against the scheme will hold the cooperative back. What this means and what farmers are voting on is a stronger cooperative, a cooperative that will actually deliver more for them going forward. Federated Farmers is encouraging every shareholder to ensure they vote and not to bow to the pressure of lobbying. This is probably the biggest vote decision for Fonterra in the last decade. It is important to give clarity to the board where you want this trading amongst farmers to go. Monday's meetings will kick off at 10.30 in the morning, with Fonterra hoping for a final result by the end of the day. Rebecca Edwards, ONE News. Bad weather has marred the start of Winter Festival celebrations in Queenstown. Some events had to be postponed, while police have kept busy dealing with rowdy partygoers. Max Bania reports. HOOTER BLARES They came hoping for snow. Instead they got rain. Not enough, though, to stop a winter festival parade through Queenstown. When it rains here, it rains well. I mean, as is gonna happen today we're gonna get a cold snap, and then we're gonna get some snow. But with the ski fields closed for now, visitors poured into town. And the rain didn't stop 12,000 people from filling the waterfront for last night's fireworks show. Absolutely amazing. I've never seen any better fireworks in Winterfest history. I've come all the way from England to see that today, never been before. Police, though, were disappointed with the behaviour of some partygoers, making nine arrests, including one man so drunk he thought he was in Invercargill. Drink driving, fighting, assaults, disorderly behaviour, urination ` that sort of stuff, the usual Queenstown drama. Good news, though, for skiers and snowboarders, with the forecast set to improve. Crisp, clear day tomorrow by the looks of things, and snow Monday, Tuesday, so, no, we're all good. For now the locals are happy making their own entertainment. WHISTLE HOOTS Max Bania, ONE News. No rain or snow for Auckland today, but there was still plenty of winter fun to be had. Hundreds of people put on their skates to have a go on an ice rink in Aotea Square. This little star showed revellers a few tricks. We thought it'd be a great idea to introduce more Aucklanders to ice skating. This is Auckland's answer to Queenstown's Winter Festival. The temporary ice-skating rink was used in Hamilton during the Rugby World Cup. It'll be open for around six weeks. Now if you're heading for Christchurch, look out for a host of life-size images. They're the work of an artist who wanted to wallpaper over the cracks in his battered city. He spoke with Ali Pugh. Behind the fences, small pockets in the heart of Christchurch's broken city have been given a new lease of life. There's so much road cones, fences, and I guess this is a way of, sort of, making it more approachable. Mike Hewson's larger-than-life artworks have been popping up all over town. The earthquakes forced everyone out of their shells. Nothing's normal. There's no galleries. The whole face of the city's changed. The artist and his brother Andrew were in their Cathedral Square office when the February quake struck. They lost their studio and masses of work. The empty cityscape provides a challenging canvas. The biggest one with the bike ` it's the biggest project I've done by a long shot, and it was the most interesting for me geometrically to get it to work, to sort of transform around a 90-degree face. The images are his personal photographs, enlarged and reprinted. The details, though, he's not divulging. I'm not going to tell all my trade secrets, but, yeah, it's a form of wallpapering. And it's now working to brighten the crumbling walls of Christchurch and brighten the days of those who see it. Ali Pugh, ONE News. Looking at our top stories tonight ` the case of convicted killer Gareth Smither, who has been given leave from his life sentence for up to a week at a time by mental health authorities, is causing outrage tonight. The Parole Board has continued to deny him freedom, and the family of his victim, Karen Jacobs, are fearful about him being allowed back into the community. The body of the young navy seaman who died in a scooter crash in Rarotonga will be returned home next week. William Delamere (22) was on shore leave from his duties on the HMNZS Otago when the accident happened. Police have confirmed alcohol was a factor in the crash. It's unlikely any more survivors from the asylum-seeker boat tragedy between Australia and Indonesia will be found. The boat carrying up to 200 people went down north of Christmas Island on Thursday sparking a massive search and rescue operation. So far 109 asylum seekers have been rescued and the death toll stands at five. Jenny-May joins us with sport from Waikato Stadium in Hamilton. Injured loose forward Victor Vito will join me after the break to give an insight into the All Blacks' preparation ahead of tonight's third and final Test against Ireland. There's incredible drama in the Rally of NZ as the action heats up. plus, why are the Broncos allowing Petro Civoniceva to take a place kick? The Germans put on a clinic with some of the best goals from Euro 2012. And from revulsion to redemption in just 24 hours ` America is back in love with LeBron again. Kia ora and welcome back to the Waikato Stadium in Hamilton. It'll be another 12 years before we see Ireland back on NZ soil. They've never beaten the All Blacks, and after last weekend's last-minute loss, you'd think tonight's third and final Test will be loaded with desperation. Joining me now is injured All Black loose forward Victor Vito. WHAT HAS BEEN DEMANDED FROM THE PLAYERS? SOME CHARACTER AND COMPOSURE AND SOME MORE CLINICAL PLAY WITH THE LOOSE BALL. LOTS OF PRESSURE ON MCCAW TO MAKE IT WORK? YES, BUT RICHIE GETS THE JOB DONE. WHAT ARE THE PREPARATIONS AT THE MOMENT? OH, PROBABLY JUST A LITTLE MUSIC AND SOME HANDLING SKILLS MY KNEE'S BEEN GOING WELL SO JUST A COUPLE OF WEEKS, I THINK Vito would have been a certain starter tonight and surely at number eight. Instead, the loose-forward revamp pairs two Chiefs together ` the most capped and the rookie sensation. The master and the pupil. Openside flanker Sam Cane will emulate Richie McCaw by making his first Test start at just 20. After his 40-minute cameo last week, the comparisons were inevitable to a young McCaw. It's nice to be compared, I guess, but we're our own players and we're different people, so, yeah. You're both ball runners. > Yeah, for sure. We both enjoy running with the ball. Cane's swift rise has been helped by having his equally youthful flatmate Brodie Retallick in the squad. It's always good to have familiar faces around. Then there's his Super 15 skipper, who arrived this week, talking him up. He's going to be a massive talent for NZ rugby. Liam Messam just wants to finally show his own talent in his preferred blindside flank role. It's only his 10th Test in five seasons, his first on his home ground he cherishes so much. It's my backyard, and I'll do anything to defend that. And I'm just really looking forward to playing in front of my friends and family. And his former long-time Super boss Ian Foster, the most capped Waikato provincial player, who missed out on making the All Blacks, but at least is now helping to guide them. Look, I think every week has been special when you are new to this environment, but it's nice coming home. And hopefully it won't come down to another last-minute kick. Stephen Stuart, ONE News. A failure to capitalise on opportunities has been cited by coach Rob Penney as a major reason behind the Baby Blacks' 22-16 loss to South Africa in this morning's Junior Rugby World Cup final. The game was marred with a player from each side sent off for what appeared to be a fairly innocuous incident. South Africa were deserving victors, scoring two tries to one. Van Der Watt ` he thinks he's scored a try. Liebenberg. Looking for his options. Finds Booysen. Inside pass Serfontein. Serfontein's still going. Try! It's the first time the Baby Blacks haven't won the title. Wales is currently trying to salvage some pride against Australia in Sydney after narrowly losing the first two Tests. It's been an arm wrestle once again. They went for the direct route. Over. Wales in front for the very first time. But it's been heartbreak again for the Welsh. Australia snatched a late penalty to win 20-19. The world's greatest driver continues to lead the Rally of NZ, despite confessing he's not going hardout. However, local lad Hayden Padden is determined to finish in the top 10. Martin Tasker's following the action near Whangarei. The champion in full flight, airborne at Brooks Hella Bridge and accurate as ever. Earlier, though, he'd not looked quite so sharp, losing his line and giving a photographer the fright of his life. Best driver in the world and he was just coming closer and closer, and I said, 'No, please don't hit me.' And, no, got a bit dirty, but it was good. I was a bit careful in some places, and I lost some time. < That's not like you. Yeah, but, you know, when you fight against your teammate, you don't want to make a mistake. So I was not completely` I was not completely flat out, and he took the opportunity to take me some time back. Teammate Mikko Hirvonen poured on the pressure. The duel between the two Citroens made it harder for rivals like Petter Solberg to make up ground in his Ford. The Norwegian was unwilling to concede yet, though. Can you get there? > Well, we will see tomorrow. If there's a lot of rain tomorrow and I have soft tyres, maybe it's a possibility. Fellow countryman and Ford driver Jari-Matti Latvala accepted his title defence is over after having to be cut free from a wire fence by a farmer on day one. He cut the wire away, and then we managed to get back to going, because otherwise we would be still there, I guess. But cheered on by thousands of fans, local hero Hayden Paddon continues to pursue his aim. The top 10 is still the target? Can you make it? It's still possible. It is a little bit harder, but we have been able to gain some time, take some time off a couple of the World Rally cars in front of us, so it's not impossible. Ramona Karlsson from Sweden took the expression on fire a little too literally. Nobody was hurt, though. The hot rally action concludes in and around Auckland tomorrow. Martin Tasker, ONE News. The Waikato Bay of Plenty magic have continued their march towards the finals of netball's Trans-Tasman competition toppling table leaders the Adelaide Thunderbirds in Tauranga. This afternoon's 59-42 win was the side's eighth consecutive, with just one game remaining in the regular season. CROWD ROARS Well, listen to the crowd, and it's a thumping. The Magic will need another standout performance next weekend in Hamilton, as they face reigning champs, the Queensland Firebirds. Petero Civoniceva has become just the 15th man in history to play 300 first-grade games in the Broncos' 26-12 win over the Rabbitohs. With time up on the clock, the veteran prop was given the honour of kicking the final points. I don't think I've ever seen him kick a ball. They had to place it for him because he didn't know to get down and do that. I hope they don't miss the play-offs on differential. And he's going round the corner. Round-the-corner kick from Petero, and he's missed it. And after losing five of their last six games, the Dragons have finally won, beating the Titans 8-6. Germany has advanced to the semi-finals of the European Football Championship, beating 2004 winners Greece 4-2. The Germans made all the play early, but it wasn't until the 39th minute that they finally opened the scoring. It's Lahm. Fantastic goal. Germany go in front. Salpigidis and support from Samaras. It's Samaras. Boateng. Closer. Oh, it's a fantastic goal. Brilliantly taken goal by Sami Khedira. Germany faces the winners of the England-Italy quarter-final. That game is Monday morning. Finally in sport ` Miami Heat is still one of the top twitter trends in NZ today, more than 24 hours after they clinched the NBA championship. But in America things are even more remarkable. The most divisive player in the league has been granted redemption. Here's Craig Stanaway. CROWD ROARS Not two, not three, not four, not five, not six, not seven. We believe we can win multiple championships. Once the game starts, I mean, it's going to be easy... (ECHOES) That was almost two years ago. LeBron James now knows winning titles isn't easy. < You said you were a little immature last year. < Do you feel like maybe you weren't ready for it before this? I don't want to look at it that way. I just think that everything that happened, you know, I kind of put myself in a bad position. America's always admired him, the humble kid from Akron, Ohio; the number one draft pick in 2003. I can't promise an NBA championship to no one, you know, but I can make sure that my teammates will get better every day. How hard is it to win? 17 number-one picks from the last 20 years have failed to win an NBA championship. The player that you see, the LeBron James of today, came out of what happened in those finals. I realised I wasn't as good as I needed to be. Surrendering his crown as king of Cleveland to become NBA king was contentious and controversial. I am going to take my talents to South Beach and join the Miami Heat. But it was made in a selfish bid for that elusive championship ring. Surrounding yourself with superstars isn't the American way. They loved watching the Heat, and James in particular, choke last year. All the people that was rooting on me to fail, they've got to wake up tomorrow and have the same life that they had before they woke up today. It's now hard to begrudge him after the way he's played. It's about damn time, LeBron. What took you so long? Is this guy better than Michael Jordan? He made one mistake in his career, and that's was the way he handled his decision. Other than that, what has he ever done wrong? He's earned this, more so than any other athlete I've covered in my career, so let's just pay homage to him and call him just that ` a champion. What a difference a year makes. Craig Stanaway, ONE News. Finally from Waikato Stadium, here's hoping the All Blacks do better than coach Steve Hansen's horse Hammerhead ` beaten by a nose as it was going for a three in a row today. After the break, Karen has the latest wind and rain warnings. Hello again. We've still got some warnings in place tonight, so I'll get straight into those. Could be a few more heavy falls in these areas over the next few hours, but the rain is easing now as the front has moved through. Still windy in these areas tonight. Damaging gusts of up to 120km/h are possible. And these area the roads and passes to take extra care on due to snow flurries. Lots of cloud with a good feed of moisture sweeping down from Queensland down on to the country, especially the South Island. Got a couple of fronts hiding in there. A good, strong northwester blasts in ahead of them. Just some scraps of lower cloud over the upper North Island with the ridge hanging on. Lots of shower cloud flooding into the Tasman in the south-west flow. Another front and trough near Tasmania. The fronts continue their trek northwards tonight and tomorrow. The main rain band clears the North Island late tomorrow morning. A weak ridge pushes in behind them, but the next bunch of fronts are arriving tomorrow night Some rain or showers in the west, but gradually clearing from Westland. Scattered showers at first in the east and south, falling as snow down to around 500m or 600m, but fine or becoming fine during the afternoon. West to south-west winds, fresh about the coasts, tending north-west later in the day. For weather, see onenews.co.nz All from me. See you tomorrow. LUCY LAWLESS ON Q+A TOMORROW AT 9. And that's ONE News for Saturday. From all the ONE News team, goodnight.
