We've got a showery south-westerly flow over us at the moment, with western areas mopping up most of those showers. There's a few more fronts to move through, brining surges of wind and rain. I'll also have a heads-up for you of possible severe gales on the way for the far south of the country from tomorrow evening. 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, the sadness behind one man's precious picture... We say good morning every morning and goodnight every night. ...as he steels himself to hear why the CTV building collapsed killing his wife and more than 100 others. She's waited 19 years for word. Jane Furlong's best friend on the discovery of the teenager's remains. What would you do if bears start brawling in your backyard? Hear how homeowners react. And the juggling act. Is Slammin' Sam ready to snatch the seven spot from the All Blacks' captain? Tonight, the people taking time out for the next two months because they're so desperate to know why the CTV building crumpled in Christchurch's quakes. Their wives were among 115 people who died in that collapse alone in February last year. With more, Lisa Davies joins us from Christchurch. Lisa. A ROYAL COMMISSION IS THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF RESPONSE THE GOVERNMENT CAN HAVE TO AN INCIDENT. TOMORROW IT RESUMES ITS PUBLIC HEARINGS. IT'S BEEN RUNNING FOR OVER A YEAR NOW. PUBLIC HEARINGS ARE HELD TO KEEP THE PROCESS TRANSPARENT. IT WILL BE WATCHED CLOSELY, BOTH HERE AND OVERSEAS, WHERE INTERNATIONAL MEDIA WILL FOLLOW THE LIVESTREAM. Twisted steel, broken beams ` a building on its knees. Oh my God, that's the CTV building! Working on the fourth floor when it collapsed, Brian Kennedy's wife, Faye. They seem to capture and make the picture quite live, as though she's right in the room. It took two days to find her body in the rubble. We've got pictures and photos. We say good morning every morning and goodnight every night. < She's still here. Hell, yeah, right on that shoulder keeping an eye on me. He'll be attending the Commission. You want to be there for Faye? Definitely. Faye and the whole team of the clinic. Sitting alongside him will be Murray Grant. His wife, Jane, worked here, and died here too. If I knew then what I know now about the CTV building, I wouldn't have let my wife go anywhere near it. Jane was one of the last to have her remains identified. I went to four funerals, one after the other, before I found out if I would get my wife back. That was pretty tough. It was very tough. Murray has resigned from his job so he can attend the entire eight-week hearing. I don't think I'm out for blood as such, not many people are, but I think at the end of it all, if someone needs to be held accountable, so be it. The Commission is setting up once again in St Theresa's Hall. They're mindful here of how hard this is for families. A message board, set up by the schoolchildren. They've left messages for families. It's also an opportunity for families to post their own thoughts and memories. The building rubble is gone, but the questions remain. A Department of Building and Housing report stated this building didn't meet some building standards. That's likely to be contested in the coming weeks. The Commission will then form its own view. There's not much we can do for those who died in the building; try to stop it happening to other people. The families have faith in the Royal Commission's role in that. They're probably like the little terrier that gets hold of your ankle and won't let go until there's a decent amount of blood on the floor, and I wish them well in this battle. It's a battle the families of the 115 people who lost their lives here will watch closely. OK, Lisa, can you give us more of an idea of what'll be happening there at the hearing? TOMORROW, OPENING SUBMISSIONS WILL BEGIN. 80 WITNESSES WILL BE CALLED OVER THE NEXT EIGHT WEEKS. FIRST UP ARE THE SURVIVORS OF THE COLLAPSE, AND EYEWITNESSES, WHO ACTUALLY SAW THE BUILDING COME DOWN. THEN THE INQUIRY MOVES ON TO EXPERT WITNESSES. THE COMMISSION IS TO PRESENT THE FIRST PART OF ITS REPORT TO THE ATTORNEY GENERAL THIS WEEK. IT'S FINAL REPORT IS DUE ON NOVEMBER 12TH. Emergency services are grappling with another problem in Christchurch ` who's setting off a whole lot of fires? There've been another three since early this morning, on its busiest street, Riccarton Rd. A charred shell is all that remains of this vacant block of shops. Just one after another, you know. We got claims with the earthquake, and now this fire. So we don't know where we stand. It's one of three blazes now being investigated. It is unusual to have suspicious fires down on the Riccarton Road area. What we mainly get through that way is party fires. Just 100m down the road we found store manager Ben Park picking up the pieces of his rubbish skip after it was set alight during the night. The third call-out came late this morning. We've received a call in about the last 15 minutes, and, uh, when we arrived here, the small fire you see over there had been burning for a considerable amount of time. I've got a very good idea about what caused it. A close call for the intended target ` St Teresa's primary school. This fire is the latest in an ever-increasing number of vacant buildings that have gone up in flames since the earthquakes, but until now they've predominantly been based out in the eastern part of the city. In just six months there've been deliberate fires lit in Linwood, Woolston, the central city, Aranui, Pines Beach and New Brighton, with suburbs Spreydon and Hornby also being targeted. In total there've been nearly 100 suspected arsons since the first earthquake in September 2010. < There could be a number of fire bugs around the city? Oh, look, quite possibly. I wouldn't really like to comment on just how many there could be around, but there has certainly been an increase in activity. And increased pressure on firefighters figuring out if there's a link between the latest blazes. The family of prostitute Jane Furlong can now prepare for her funeral, nearly 20 years after she went missing. A coroner's ordered her remains be returned tomorrow, after they were found last month on a beach south of Auckland. Now her best friend's told Kate Lynch there could be a link between the teenager's life on the streets and where she was buried. Amanda Watt was once a prostitute. She was Jane Furlong's closest friend and the last known person to see her alive. I left, and then came back about 20 minutes later, and since then Jane hasn't been seen. She hasn't stopped thinking about her for the past 19 years. I get friends and family telling me I need to get over it and move on with my life and stuff, but I don't see it that way at all. When a woman's skeleton was found at Port Waikato last month, she had a feeling it was Jane Furlong. Their group of friends had once gone there to party. I'm pretty sure she was part of our group, but I don't remember. But Judith Furlong says her daughter never mentioned Port Waikato. Tomorrow police are taking her to where the teenager was buried alone in a sandy grave. It really was something that I wanted to do, anyway. Mrs Furlong believes more than one person knows what happened because Jane's skeleton lay beneath 2m of sand. It's not the work of one person. There's more than one person. Who do you believe killed Jane? I've always thought it was gang-related. It's just what they do. At the time of her disappearance, the 17-year-old was set to testify in a gang-related case. The head of the investigation, Det Inspector Mark Benefield, says all suspects, interviews and historic evidence will be reassessed to try to build a complete picture of Jane Furlong's life back in 1993. They're reviewing and analysing this old footage of police searching her and her boyfriend Danny Norsworthy's flat in the Auckland suburb of Onehunga. Whose is all this stuff here? Jane's? > Anything that may link Jane Furlong's life to where she met her death. A prisoner's vowing to keep protesting after helping his fellow inmate surrender earlier this afternoon. Aaron Forden, also known as 'Houdini', has now been on a tower at Auckland's maximum-security jail for nearly 56 hours. With the latest from Paremoremo here's Sharon Fergusson. AARON FORDEN, OTHERWISE KNOWN AS HOUDINI, HAS INDICATED HE INTENDS STAYING UP THE TOWER FOR AT LEAST ONE MORE NIGHT. HIS ACCOMPLICE IS THOUGHT TO BE DAMIEN WERETA. HE GAVE HIMSELF UP EARLIER THIS AFTERNOON. HE'S THE MAN IN THE LIGHT GREY SWEATSHIRT ON THE BALCONY. UNDER THE BALCONY IN THE DARK SWEATSHIRT, MORE DIFFICULT TO SEE THROUGH THE BARBED WIRE, IS AARON FORDEN. HE'S HELPING WERETA DOWN THE POLE. THEN AFTER WERETA LEAVES, FORDEN CLIMBS BACK UP THE POLE ON TO THE BALCONY. THE INMATE WHO SURRENDERED IS SAID TO BE HEALTHY AND HAS SPOKEN TO A PRISON INSPECTOR, WHICH IS ONE OF THE THINGS HE WANTED IN RETURN FOR HIS SURRENDER. BOTH PRISONERS HAVE INDICATED THEY'RE NOT HAPPY WITH THEIR PLACEMENT AT PAREMOREMO, BUT CORRECTIONS SAYS THE NATURE OF THEIR OFFENDERING, AND THEIR BEHACVIOUR WHILE THEY'VE BEEN IN PRISON, HAS DETERMINED THEIR PLACEMENT. THE PRISON MANAGER ALSO SAID THERE'S BEEN SOME FRUSTATION AMONGST OTHER INMATES OVER THE LOCKDOWN. We have monitored the temperature of the prison very closely and very carefully. we've had additional staff out there talking to the prisoners. The people who have been most inconvenienced by this are the families of the other prisoners because we haven't been able to have visits while this incident's been going on. So Sharon, what punishment can these prisoners expect? THEY WILL GO ON A PERIOD OF DIRECTED SEGREGATION FOR AROUND 14 DAYS. THAT MEANS RESTRICTED ACCESS TO OTHER PRISONERS. 23 HOURS A DAY IN THEIR CELL. Sharon Fergusson with that update. Thousands of NZers with super savings still stuck across the ditch face an even longer wait to bring the money home. Our government signed a deal with Australia three years ago to allow retirement nest eggs to move with migrants. But while we've passed the legislation, our neighbours haven't. This from Business presenter Nadine Chalmers-Ross. Starting a family brought David Buckingham home from Australia. But he's left behind something that could help his household. I've got a lot of Super sitting in Australia, you know. I worked hard over there, and 9% of my income went into these funds. He's chased answers from politicians on both sides of the Tasman and is sick of waiting. My money's being eaten up in fees as we speak. NZ and Australia signed an agreement three years ago to allow retirement savings to move with you into the other country's Super scheme. Our Parliament passed legislation in 2010. Australia still hasn't, so the money stays put. There are no official statistics about how much money Kiwis might have tied up in Australian funds, but remember, the Australian Super scheme has been compulsory for 20 years, so any NZer who's worked there in the past two decades is likely to have money to claim. There's a lot of Kiwis there who` who've got actually quite large Super balance` superannuation balances. And their ability to bring them back to NZ might make it more likely that they come back. Retirement funds here are regularly fielding calls. We would still get two to three a week, even though on the website we say that it still can't be done. The industry would welcome this to be sorted out as quickly as possible. Cos it will result in money coming to NZ. Our government's now been told it should be passed next year. The Aussies, in the end, are mates of ours, and they'll get it done. For David Buckingham's family, the sooner the better. And Nadine will have more on what this means for your savings tomorrow on Breakfast from 6 o'clock. Education's been a hot topic here. It's also troubling one of our tiny territories. Schools are struggling to keep qualified teachers on the islands of Tokelau. And that's not the only worry, as Pacific correspondent Barbara Dreaver discovers. Tokelauan kids are not shy in coming forward, but it's the way ahead that's concerning. There is a great limitation in respect to resources. Around a third of the population is under the age of 15. This is a school field on Fakaofa. Behind it the new school lies abandoned ` building at a standstill. This is the first time that we've given control of the construction over to the three village councils, and the progress has been mixed. Tokelau's heavily dependent on NZ aid. According to the island council, some of the building materials were sent to the wrong island, but NZ believes the council needs to change its priorities. Earth-moving equipment, which gets prioritised ahead of schools and hospitals. In Nukunonu, part of a school has been closed. It's becoming very unsafe, uh, for our students and our staff to be working in there. But there is good news in other areas. A lack of qualified local teachers has meant Tokelau has been hiring from offshore. Many have made a huge difference. We needed to set some systems into place; uh, put some value into education. When Hefo Vulu joined the school he found more than half of the students had special needs. That's now down to a handful. Once the students start exceeding of what they were doing, then their enjoyment started coming in. NZ has sent education advisers to train local teachers. It's the students who are clearly showing the benefits. Some students have moved and improved two, you know, three years ` a lot of them one year ` in the two weeks between assessments. The students are doing their part, but they need their elders to sing from the same song sheet. Ahead on ONE News ` cross-border tensions are on high, as the search continues for two pilots still missing after Syria shot down a Turkish fighter jet. The teenager who ended up being abused and contracting HIV And remarkable pictures of the brawling bears striking fear in suburbia. The UN secretary-general Ban Ki-moon is calling for restraint on both sides over Syria's downing of a Turkish jet fighter. A joint search and rescue operation is underway for the two crew members lost with the plane in the Mediterranean near Hatay province. From there, the BBC's Ian Pannell sent this report. It's more than a day since the Turkish jet was downed, and the search continues for the wreckage and two missing pilots, with both Syrian and Turkish navies scouring the waters. What's clear for now is that the plane was brought down by Syrian air defences ` a mark of the deadly efficiency of the Russian-supplied systems. What's unclear is whose air space the plane was in and what the response will be. There's some popular anger in Turkey, with warnings in the press that Syria will pay a price; that they're playing with fire. But the country's leaders are being cautious for now. (SPEAKS TURKISH) TRANSLATOR: We will wait to clarify some details, and then, of course, everything that needs to be done, will be done. There shouldn't be any doubt regarding this. This is the type of plane that was shot down. It's unclear what its mission was. One suggestion is it may have been on a reconnaissance flight, amid reports that Turkey has stepped up its support for Syria's armed rebels. Relations between the former allies have soured. When the violence spilled across the border into a refugee camp, Turkey said it wouldn't tolerate a violation of its territory. This is the most serious incident yet between two countries that used to be friends. Relations between the two have soured the longer the Syrian conflict has gone on. And tensions in the border area remain high. But so far there's no indication that this incident will lead to an escalation. The Syrian foreign minister says its forces only realised it was a Turkish jet after firing at the plane. The winner of Egypt'ss presidential elections is expected to be announced overnight. Tens of thousands protesters are continuing to demonstrate in Tahrir Square in support of the Muslim Brotherhood's candidate, Mohamed Mursi. Across the city, hundreds of protesters gathered to support the military and their presidential candidate, Ahmed Shafiq. Both parties have claimed victory in the election. Greece is seeking to ease the conditions covering its Eurozone bail-out, including extending the deadline to reduce its budget deficit by at least two years. The Greek government says it wants to meet the bail-out deal's targets without more cuts to salaries and pensions. But the changes sought by Greece's new coalition government are expected to run into strong opposition from Eurozone countries at a summit later this week. Now to a bear brawl caught on tape, not in the wild, but on a suburban front lawn in Florida. As the ABC's Tanya Rivero reports, bears are roaming far and wide from the usual hunting grounds. Imagine if this was your front yard. Two enormous black bears in a full-out brawl ` not in the woods, not in a zoo, but on the manicured lawns of Longwood, Florida, with shocked residents watching on. I was hearing weird noises. I mean, they were going crazy. I just` I even saw blood, at one point. I just see one bear slash the other one in the face. To us, it was like, 'Wow, that's cool.' Until they started looking at us. And when they started looking at us, I'm like, 'I see it. I see it. I don't want to have any of that.' And this is hardly the first time we're seeing bears in our backyards, our pools, our schools. They even crash our weddings. So what's going on? Suburban sprawl is drawing them out of the forests and on to our turf, where there's plenty of fast food and garbage bins, vegetable gardens and bird feeders. Please don't break it. Back in Longwood, we showed this video to a zoo curator and mammal biologist, who tells us these two young bears are most likely battling it out for dominance of the hood. But with no clear victor, they simply skulk away, leaving behind massive paw prints. There's no foot, and there's the paw. So the paw goes all the way around there. A reminder of a rumble residents here won't soon forget. The black bear is a threatened species in Florida and protected by law. Weather time now, and parts of the South Island woke to new snow this morning, Karen. That's right. Even the ski fields got some. 10cm for the Remarkables and Coronet Peak. 25cm for Mt Hutt. It was a great day to hit the slopes. These are the roads and passes to still be careful on through to tomorrow morning. And a heads-up ` there's also a watch in place for severe gales for the far south of the South Island from tomorrow evening. Now to our weather cameras. For weather, see onenews.co.NZ I'll be back with tomorrow's forecast for your place after sport. Still to come on ONE News ` the teenager who ended up being infected with HIV after being placed in the care of Child, Youth and Family. We meet a Hawke's Bay man who's an unsung hero and nailing it for his community. And this is Mugly, a dog so ugly he's a world-beater. Child, Youth and Family has apologised to a Taranaki woman for placing her with a convicted rapist when she was just 16. The teenager was abused, and eventually infected with HIV. Now CYF's has admitted to TV ONE's Marae Investigates they didn't vet the man they placed her with. Rebecca Edwards reports. We can't reveal the identity of this young woman, but she's spent years questioning how she could have been left in the hands of a convicted rapist. And there's no way someone with that history should get care of a child. No way. The woman ended up in the youth court system after being charged with a vicious assault. When her parents wouldn't take her back home, CYFS followed a family group conference recommendation, and placed her with her uncle, without doing a criminal check. I didn't know at the time that he was a convicted rapist. My family that were there knew ` knew of the history. History which included being sentenced to six years in prison for his part in a notorious gang rape. Within weeks, this woman, who was 16 at the time, says she was abused by not only him, but one of his friends who has since died of Aids. Now 27, she's HIV positive, as is her firstborn child. In a statement to TV ONE's Marae Investigates, CYFS apologised for what happened to her. CYFS says early this year it became mandatory to do criminal checks for these placements, and a range of other safety checks are now also required. I think that vetting caregivers should be and is mandatory. We` Only just, though? Yeah, well, that's a change that's come about because we've really looked at how it should be. But the co-leader of the Green Party says an apology is not enough. They need to review their files from that period of time and check on those children to make sure that they were safe in state care. But for this victim, although the scars remain, there is some relief at finally receiving an apology. Rebecca Edwards, ONE News. A final decision on dairy giant Fonterra's controversial Trading Among Farmers proposal is expected tomorrow. The scheme will enable investors to buy units in Fonterra and earn dividends from the dairy giant, but they won't have any voting rights. A former Fonterra chief executive told TV ONE'S Q + A, voting down the proposal risks the future of the organisation. It's been 10 years of constant debate around the capital structure, and that is holding the organisation back. It has not delivered on what was promised a decade ago because it has not been able to make the investments that it needs to. And it will have to go back to the drawing board again if this vote doesn't go through. The final shareholder vote on the scheme will take place at a series of meetings around the country tomorrow. Auckland's historic tepid baths has re-opened to the public following a major revamp. Almost $16 million has been spent on upgrading the 98-year-old swimming and fitness facility, which has been closed for more than two years. The upgrade includes a 25m seven-lane pool and learner's pool. Many of the Tep's original features have been kept, including the private poolside changing rooms and hanging baskets. It's a beauty pageant where it pays to be dog ugly. 29 asethetically challenged canines are all vying for the title of the world's ugliest dog. But there could only be one winner ` a Chinese crested dog, known as Mugly. The 8-year-old's a former rescue dog, and its selection was almost too much for its British owner. I am excited, overwhelmed. I am so proud to be able to be taking this back to the UK. He's beautiful, inside and out. Mugly will receive $1200 in prize money, a photo shoot and a year's supply of dog biscuits. Looking at our top stories tonight. A royal commision into the Christchurch earthquake resumes tomorrow with a hearing into the collapse of the CTV building where 115 people lost their lives. For the families of the victims, it's a chance to seek answers and accountability for the tragedy. The mother of murdered teenager Jane Furlong says she thinks her death was gang-related. The 17-year-old's skeleton was found at a Port Waikato beach last week, almost 20 years after she went missing from Auckland's K Road. Jane Furlong's remains are expected to be returned to her family tomorrow. One of the prisoners involved in a stand-off at Paremoremo Prison is vowing to remain up a prison tower for at least one more night. Aaron Forden, also known as Houdini, has indicated to Corrections he's staying put. Forden's accomplice, thought to be Damien Wereta, gave himself up this afternoon. Andrew's here with sport, and normal transmission has resumed. We hear from coach Steve Hansen next, especially regards his new openside flanker. So now the June Test have flown by, who will or won't return to your Super rugby team? Plus ` our leading triathlete moves closer to a London medal. And is this the greatest horse we've ever seen? And in his domain, has a French legend done enough to win here again? The All Blacks' annihilation of Ireland in the third Test has been tempered by news star back Richard Kahui is out for the rest of the year. More on Kahui's major setback soon. But first to the record 60-0 win against the Irish in Hamilton. The victory doubled as captain Richie McCaw's 94th Test win ` a world record, as the All Blacks and their new players totally dominated. It was the new breed leading the way today, as the Test squad split. Last night it was the glimpse into the future. Now Smith. Cruden... popped it up beautifully. Now Williams. Aaron Cruden (23) was outstanding in just his fourth Test start, not once but twice popping Sonny-Bill-type passes for tries. Yeah, he does it at training a bit, and s'pose it rubs off an a few players. The influence of others has clearly worked. But Cruden succumbed to an Achilles injury after just 24 minutes. Debutant Beauden Barrett (21) came on and looked completely at ease. The new McCaw looked like a young McCaw. Floats beautifully to Aaron Smith! Cane's got it! Yeah, it was pretty quick when the ball was in play, wasn't it? So, uh, yeah, I was sucking wind a few times out there. Understandable, as Cane was the top tackler in an outstanding defensive effort. We had guys wanting to get on the line and take the line up to tackle, and that's where we forced mistakes. The new bloke at number eight impressed as well. Well, he makes the tackle and gets to his feet. Reports of Richie McCaw's demise were clearly an exaggeration. But a change is now on the cards, with Sam Cane's rise. Now I know how I can look after my mate beside me here, who, uh, is the best number seven in the world. And we've got someone now that, uh, might allow us to make sure that he's around for a lot longer. The All Blacks' pack young and old steamrolled the battered Irish early. She's a pretty quick game, and obviously, uh, a lot faster than Super rugby. Like Aaron Smiths' bullet pass, the match was over quickly, after 20 minutes and 21-0. Williams has got two! Williams impressed, including kicking and a dozen carries. The blitz intensified in the second half, when Ireland went down to 14 men. Hosea Gear... still going... and makes it! And Israel Dagg changed up after an indifferent second Test. Dagg's found another gear. He's all right. Albeit running on one leg after moments earlier being treated. The All Blacks a staggering 60-0, now for juggling Test injuries and Super rugby returns. Clearly we can't tell them not to play them, uh, and nor would we want to. But we are interested in how they're gonna manage those players from Sunday to Friday. And we're all intrigued when August rolls around for the Aussie and South African showdowns. So Aaron Cruden's Achilles injury could be an issue for the table-topping Chiefs as Super rugby resumes tomorrow. He's hopeful of playing against the Highlanders next Friday night. Had a few Achilles problems throughout the season, and, unfortunately, it sort of occurred again tonight, so we'll just have to see how it settles over the next few days, but, yeah, I'm pretty positive about it, anyway. The news isn't so good for centre/wing Richard Kahui, whose shoulder injury hasn't healed with rest. Disappointing for Richard, obviously, and, uh, they tried to do it the other way, and that hasn't worked, so he's now going to have surgery and that could be six months before he's back playing. Israel Dagg suffered an ankle strain last night and could miss the Crusaders-Hurricanes match next Saturday. England has avoided being swept 3-0 by the Springboks after drawing the third and final Test 14-14 in Port Elizabeth. Kiwi Thomas Waldrom made his first Test start for England, and the bruising ball runner didn't look out of place, but his countryman Dylan Hartley celebrated his elevation to the captaincy by being sin-binned. England scored the only first-half try. Oh, and they've got it. Taken a short one. The Springboks also struck from close range through JP Pietersen, but Morne Steyn had a shocker with the boot. Steyn is back. Drop kick... Hangs it wide. Even worse was replacement Owen Farrell's last-minute attempt to get England home. The world's greatest rally driver continues to leave his rivals in his rear-view mirror. Sebastien Loeb has won his third Rally NZ title today, earning more points towards his ninth consecutive world championship. Martin Tasker has been following the action. The surface seems irrelevant to Sebastien Loeb, be it the tarmac of Auckland's Domain negotiated on tyres really designed for off-road or the gravel. The Frenchman (38) equally at home on NZ's famed high-speed tracks. It's his versatility in all conditions that's made him the enduring champion he is, comfortably holding off the challenge from his teammate. I am really satisfied. Couldn't be better. I am first and second with my teammate. So it's an incredible result for the team, and the car was perfect again, so I am really happy for them. Mikka Hirvonen's worn tyres held him back. I had to play it pretty smart and just bring the car home in the position I am. But I am pretty happy. Getting closer to him, anyway, so that's good. Petter Solberg played it canny too, consolidating his position. My plan was to, basically, stay third and wait for the guys to maybe make a mistake. Unfortunately, they didn't do any mistakes. Top Kiwi, Hayden Paddon, not without more drama, though. A puncture cost him dear, to go with his earlier gearbox and suspension problems. A top-ten finish eluding him, but maximum points in his division, sweetening the pill. It feels OK, but, you know, not full satisfaction because from a performance point of view, there's still a lot to improve on. Haddon was almost upstaged by fellow Kiwis Richard and Sara Mason topping their national championship and seventh fastest through the Domain stage in their standard production car. I wasn't sure what the grip would be like, and, to be honest, at the end, we were like, 'Wow, we really didn't try that hard. We could have been a bit better.' (LAUGHS) This, though, was Loeb's day. The ninth championship beckoning as his lead grows. Kiwi driver Mitch Evans has had an 18th birthday to remember leading throughout to win the first GP3 race in Spain. But frustration for Scott Dixon in the latest Indy car race in Iowa this afternoon. Dixon was the 11th leader in the race until it all unravelled with 14 laps to go. Battle for the lead. Ryan Hunter-Ray gets it. Wow. Just blew by him. Dixon continued to fade, and finished in fourth place behind Ryan Hunter-Ray. World champions Spain are on course to retain their Euro football crown after seeing off France 2-0 in their quarter-final. The Spaniards opened their account through a Xabi Alonso header in the 19th minute. A free-kick opportunity gave the French their only real chance on goal in the first half. That forced the best out of Iker Casillas. The second half wasn't much better for the French. Their few chances were not quite on the mark. Then a tackle in the box gifted Alonso a shot at his second goal of the night. The 2-0 win means Spain faces Portugal in the semis. England plays Italy in their quarter-final tomorrow morning. One of our leading Olympic medal hopes, Andrea Hewitt, has surged to the top of the ITU triathlon standings after a podium finish in Austria. Three NZ women finished in the top eight, but Hewitt cut it fine. Here's Stephen Stuart. Andrea Hewitt was second overall heading into the Kitzbuhel race, where she finished third two years ago. A strong Kiwi contingent emerged from the swim right on the pace, and Debbie Tanner, who missed Olympic selection, and Kate McIlroy did their share of pace-making on the 44km cycle ride, which claimed an early casualty. Is that a puncture or something? She didn't seem to collide with anybody else. Hewitt and Nicky Samuels marked time at the back of the lead bunch. In-form Swiss triathlete Nicola Spirig moved to the front as they tore into the transition with Hewitt heading the chase. A group of six broke away, with Hewitt tucked in at the back. Fellow Olympians McIlroy and Samuels worked together to try and haul in the leaders. Hewitt was looking likely on the 10 K run, but was burned off by Spirig and Sweden's Lisa Norden. Spirig sprinted away to win her third race of the season and loom as an Olympic frontrunner. Hewitt rallied gamely to snatch third place, six seconds back. I've got to work hard on the last kilometre rather than the final finish strait, but, yeah, it's so tough. Another podium finish has lifted her to the overall series lead, while Samuels did well for sixth, with McIlroy eighth. A good Olympic hit-out. Stephen Stuart, ONE News. The Southern Steel remains stuck at the bottom of the trans-Tasman Netball Championship after going down to the Swifts in Sydney this afternoon. It was another physical encounter, but after being just four goals back at half-time, the Steel buckled under the defensive pressure of the Swifts. Look at the delivery! Absolutely pin-point perfect. The 55-42 loss was the ninth defeat of the season for the former southern powerhouse. The Canterbury Bulldogs have knocked over the top-of-the-table Melbourne Storm as NRL League ventured to Mackay, Northern Queensland. An acrobatic Krisnan Inu scored his fifth try in four matches since quitting the Warriors for the 'Dogs. This will be a better indicator. Knocked on by Anthony Quin, was it? No doubts over the length-of-the-field late runaway try, though. Ben Barba enhanced his Queensland State of Origin prospects as the Bulldogs clinched a 20-4 victory to lift them to second place on the ladder. That's four points behind the staggering storm. 7000 Australians were almost left speechless as champion race mare Black Caviar nearly lost her unbeaten record in England overnight. The sprinter looked set for her 22nd straight win, only for her jockey to ease up at Royal Ascot. Black Cavier and Moonlight Cloud in a photo. She just lasted to win the prestigious group one Diamond Jubilee Stakes and save Australian blushes. It was a big engine shutdown and I shit myself duly, so, um... ALL LAUGH One might not have been amused by the colouful Antipodean language, but the connections were laughing all the way to the bank. She's now a $6 million earner. Just a pity she's not NZ-bred. After the break, Karen says there's plenty of rain and showers in the forecast, but it's not all bad. And the Napier man who doesn't want much, he just wants to make the world a better place. Hello again. Some welcome snow for the ski fields last night. These are the roads and passes to take care on. And a heads-up tonight. We're watching a low, still currently west of Tasmania, but we're expecting it to deepen very rapidly over the 24 hours or so. It should pass to the south of the South Island, but could produce severe gales in these areas from tomorrow evening. Showery south-west flow over the country. Bands of brighter cloud and fronts. The speckly stuff are showers. Very active looking shower cloud behind this front. The leading front clears the North Island tonight, but the next one is hot on its heels, sweeping up over the South Island tonight and then over the North Island tomorrow. This is the low we are watching. It's deepening rapidly, dropping 40hpa as it approaches. That's a very big fall. The isobars are crunching up which is why we have a watch in place for severe gales for the far south. More rain for the west coast of the South Island, easing back to showers during the day, before more rain spreads in at night. That rain also catching the far south. Mostly fine in the east, but high cloud increasing. A fresh south-wester. Then a gusty northerly develops in the evening. Band of beefy showers moves eastwards across the North Island, easing back to just a scattering of showers in its wake. Then another wave of showers moves in from the west. Fine breaks appearing in the south and in the Bay of Plenty in the evening. Fresh westerly winds. Strong nor-wester in the south. For weather, see onenews.co.nz Jim's back with you tomorrow and he'll keep a close eye on the deepening low heading our way, and let you know if this watch for severe gales in the far south is upgraded to a warning. May pay to check the boat moorings and secure fly-away stuff before tomorrow evening. Peter. Tonight's Good Sort is a man whose heart has never really left the country, even though he now lives in town. From his shed in Napier, Sam Medland's inventive spirit is all about helping others. Here's Hadyn Jones. GENTLE PINAO MUSIC Sam Medland is not a wasteful man. It all starts with the nails. I've got the time, you see. I've got the time to pull the nails out. (CHUCKLES) Making that look easy, aren't I? That's pretty heavy, Sam. It is. I sell that to scrap metal people, and they're quite happy to get steel. It's solid steel, that. Sam ferrets out discarded pallets. ELECTRIC SAW BUZZES They become firewood, and Sam is a steady and determined worker. Last year I did 25 trailer loads of this to different families ` solo dads and solo mums and old people that needed it. Today, Sam's wood is being reversed with some skill to Karen Ellis' house. This is a lifestyle for him. It's something that he really believes in ` that this is what he's called to do, is to help people in need. And when Sam's not driving one way, he's biking the other. He cycles all over Napier, and with the help of his trusty claw ` he made that himself ` he helps his community to be a little tidier. Why throw your rubbish in the gutter? Why not put it somewhere else? The rubbish gets recycled, and the can tabs... They're going to a lady that is supporting Child Cancer, and so I give them to her. The great woman behind Sam Medland is Eva. How long have you had Sam hanging around? > 53 years. He not a bad bloke? > Oh, he's improving with age. (LAUGHS) Eva and Sam had their family in remote East Cape. They were Salvation Army missionaries. 230 children at the district high school. Out of them, I think there are about 13 full-blooded Europeans. And it was Sam and Eva's white children that created quite a stir. They wanted to get their photographs taken with this white Pakeha baby. And they just loved them, you know. Sam Medland loves helping people. One lady couldn't afford a plumber, so he fixed her toilet himself. I got that brass out of an old window latch. An afternoon with Sam Medland, and you realise his life is crystal clear. And my idea is to do something to help to make the world a better place to live in. Good idea, don't you think? (CHUCKLES) Could catch on. Never know your luck. > You've got to love an optimist with a good idea. Hadyn Jones, ONE News. If you reckon you know a Good Sort, you can nominate them on our website. And that's ONE News for Sunday. Sunday's here at 7.30 with the family horrified that the man jailed for killing their daughter is out on leave on the streets for up to a week at a time. From us and all the ONE News team, goodnight. Captions by Anne Langford and Jessica Boell. Captions were made possible with funding from NZ On Air.
