Hello, everybody. A storm is about to brush the south coast, bringing damaging winds and slinging a wild, wet front across the length of the land. Weather warnings are out as far north as Wairarapa; with the country buffeted by a cocktail of rain, hail, thunder and snow. Stand by. 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 Simon Dallow and Wendy Petrie. Tonight ` hoping for answers. An emotional time as the inquiry begins into the collapse of the CTV building, which killed more than 100 people. Dive boots like these, allegedly owned by Ewen Macdonald, become the focus of his murder trial. CROWD ROARS Joy and jubilation as Egypt gets its first democratically elected president. And a high-profile protest as animal activists fight against caged chickens at our biggest egg producer. Kia ora. Good evening. Harrowing and heartbreaking details have been relived at the inquiry into the collapse of Christchurch's CTV building. 115 people died there ` the single biggest site for fatalities in the February quake. And the first day of the royal commission's already been emotionally demanding for both survivors and families of the victims. Lisa Davies is covering the hearing and joins us now live. FROM THE OUTSET, IT WAS MADE CLEAR THE PURPOSE OF THE COMMISSION IS NOT TO ATTRIBUTE LIABILITY, BUT TO ASCERTAIN WHY THE BUILDING COLLAPSED. JUSTICE MARK COOPER APOLOGISING TO FAMILIES FOR THE DISPASSIONATE PROCESS, WHILST ACKNOWLEDGING THE EMOTIONAL TOLL THE BUILDING COLLAPSE HAS HAD ON FAMILIES OF THE 115 WHO LOST THEIR LIVES. Embracing at the door, families steeling themselves for a tough day ahead. This is going to be a very difficult eight weeks. They were greeted inside with sympathy. We acknowledge the presence here today of many who lost family members in this tragedy. We express our deepest sympathy. The children of St Theresa's School singing their welcome. 10 flags to represent the nationalities of those who died in the building. The commission told the collapse was immediate, almost like a controlled demolition. The effect on the CTV building was sudden and shocking. Most of the eyewitnesses to the collpase have referred to the building collapsing in a matter of seconds. There are many contentious issues the commission must work through. A key focus ` the building's design. The question of whether that met the requirments of the standards is a very live issue. A 3-D model illustrated a long list of potential design issues. There's debate over who should shoulder responsiblity for that design between structural engineers Alan Reay Consultants and engineer David Harding, who was employed to do some of the work. Mr Harding had said he was inexperienced in the design of multi-storey buildings. Another focus ` the assessment of the building after the September quake. There will be evidence that the floor diaphragm in the north core may have disconnected in September. The first witness, who survived the collapse, says the building had changed dramatically. I felt really scared being in the CTV building after September 4th. I felt like the building was sick and that it wasn't safe. She was on the fifth floor when the February quake hit. It collapsed and collapsed and collapsed. Reliving the day hard for Kendall Mitchell, who was trapped with her two children. I remember feeling like I was being sucked downwards because the floor was going down fast. It's crucial testimony, hard to digest for those who lost loved ones in the collapse. There are 115 people who are not with us now. They cannot talk, but We have to do this for them. To find out once and for all why this building failed, taking so many down with it. Lisa, what should we expect tomorrow? TOMORROW WE'LL HEAR FROM TWO MORE SURVIVORS ` THEIR STORY FROM FEBRUARY 22. WE WILL THEN HEAR FROM 11 WITNESSES WHO SAW THE BUILDING COLLAPSE. Lisa Davies in Christchurch. Diving boots and a cigarette packet found at the scene have been the focus of the trial of the man accused of murdering Scott Guy. The Crown alleges distinctive shoeprints link Ewen Macdonald to where his brother-in-law was found dead. Simon Bradwell has been in court and joins us now live. YES, THE FOCUS OF THE TRIAL HAS BEEN ON WHAT THE KILLER DID NOW WHAT HE WORE Ewen MacDonald's a keen deer shooter, on occasion travelling as far as Stewart Island to hunt. The Crown says when he did, he took diving boots. According to hunters, they're used for stealth. They're a quiet boot to hunt in in bush conditions so that it's easier to sneak up on animals. The Crown says whoever killed Scott Guy in July 2010 was wearing diving boots with a distinctive wavey-pattern sole. And police say after examining more than 30,000 pairs of footwear, the pattern matches a pair of size 9 diving boots owned by Ewen MacDonald. The main importer of the boots recalled some were supplied to the hunting shop belonging to the accused's father seven years before the killing. < There were five size 9 dive boots sold and supplied < to Hunting & Fishing Manawatu? Yes. But in cross-examination, the importer admitted other pairs could have been bought over the internet or parallel imported and more than two dozen pairs were unaccounted for. In a segue, those familiar with the boots agreed they could have an underworld use. < Although I'm sure you don't sell them for this purpose, < but they'd be pretty good footwear for a burglar, wouldn't they? I would imagine so. The defence asking that question to tie the boots to another piece of evidence found at the crime scene ` this cigarette packet, one of a small run produced with a distinctive red label. In a burglary only two days before the murder, packets like that were stolen from a nearby address. Police asked if the packet found near Scott Guy's body came from that burglary. < In your knowledge, are you able to exclude that from what you know? I couldn't. The defence suggests that perhaps a burglar, not Ewen MacDonald, could have shot Scott Guy at the gates of his property. So, Simon, where are the diving boots that made the prints at the crime scene? NO ONE KNOWS POLICE SEARCHED THE GUY FARM NO ONE FOUND THEM Farmers around the country have just voted in favour of a controversial proposal to allow outsiders to invest in dairy giant, Fonterra. Two-thirds voted for the plan, but in a twist, a second resolution didn't get the support it needed. Business presenter Nadine Chalmers-Ross has the story. Casting their votes for a second time, Fonterra's plan to allow outsiders to invest in their co-op proved divisive. I dont think we need it. I just think it just takes us too far away from tried and proven co-operative principles. There's a lot of checks and balances so it can't be hijacked by unit investors. I'm definitely no, because I don't think it's been well enough tested. I just see it as a huge benefit for Fonterra. Here's what the plan involves. The scheme will allow farmers to trade shares with one another or sell shares to a fund, which then sells units worth no more than 20% of Fonterra's total shares to outside investors. Such is the level of feeling about this plan that Fonterra wouldn't let us film today's meetings, but I can tell you farmers continue to worry that letting outsiders invest in their co-op will ultimately lead to a loss of control. But they also say that 50% is not enough and that 75% shareholder support should be required to see it pass. Anything less than that will actually create a rift within the shareholder base. But less is what they got ` just under 67% in favour. Two out of every three votes are supportive of TAF, which we think is a mandate for us to proceed. Despite that, concerns remain. Once they've made that economic decision to sell down in their shareholding, often farmers find it very very difficult to buy back into their co-operative again. A second resolution designed to further protect farmers failed. But the scheme will go ahead, and Fonterra will put those measures back to a vote at their AGM in November. Nadine Chalmers-Ross, ONE News. Egypt's first democratically elected president has already started putting together his administration. Mohammed Mursi won with just under 52% of the vote, defeating former Prime Minister, Ahmed Shafiq. Hundreds of thousands filled Cairo's Tahrir Square to celebrate the victory, but as the BBC's Jon Leyne reports, not everyone is pleased with the idea of an Islamic leader. CROWD ROARS It's a celebration as much of relief as of joy. ALL SING Until the last moment, these crowds feared that victory might be stolen from them. TRANSLATOR: The winner of the presidency of the Arab Republic of Egypt in the elections that took place on the 16th and 17th of June is Dr Mohammed` Mohammed Morsi Isa al-Ayyat. It was like, uh, big surprise and big happiness. Now we are celebrating not to Mohammed Morsi only, but now we can say that the victory is for our revolution, for all of us. But many Egyptians will fear this is the first step towards an Islamist takeover. Muhammad Morsi moved quickly to reassure the country. TRANSLATOR: To everybody, I would like to say thank you for your choice. Thanks to your and God's will, I am president for all Egyptians, wherever they may be. But while the party continues, the question already is, 'How much real power will Mohammed Morsi be able to wrest from Egypt's current military rulers?' Mohammed Morsi right now is an elected civilian ` the first ever elected civilian in Egyptian history. More than 13 million people, Egyptians, voted for him, and I think he will have to fight for his powers that are controlled right now by the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces. They don't care too much about that in Tahrir Square, but the rest of Egypt will be watching warily, hoping that Mohammed Morsi really can build the unity he's promised and translate euphoria into a new beginning. In his televised speech, Mr Mursi emphasised his respect for international treaties, saying he'd work with others to see the democratic revolution through. A crisis is developing tonight over the system to make it easier for Auckland commuters to use public transport. The city's bosses have called in lawyers to look at claims Auckland's biggest bus operator will fail to meet a deadline for a new $98m integrated ticketing system. Political reporter Corin Dann has more. Using public transport in our biggest city isn't so super. And plans to have one smart card to rule them all is in turmoil. Key bus operator NZ Bus is running way behind schedule. Mayor Len Brown is not happy. There is a problem. We are addressing that. We have taken appropriate steps which is to get our lawyers involved and insure the parties are aware of their legal responsibilities here. So how did it get to this point? In 2009, French company Thales won the contract for a universal smart ticket you can use on trains, buses and ferries. The following year, rival bidder Snapper was allowed to run its card system in Auckland. But only if it was on buses run by its sister company NZ Bus and on the condition the cards were made compatible with the Thales system by November this year. But last week, Auckland Transport sent this strongly worded legal letter. It says Snapper has confirmed it will miss the deadline. It goes on to claim that Snapper has also breached its agreement and will have to pay for cost overruns of $4m. The government, having chipped in $42m, is also furious about the delays. Here's the Transport Minister last week. Well, if they don't meet that deadline, they won't be able to take passengers on that system. Labour says it's vital a resolution is reached, as pulling the buses off the road ` as signalled by Gerry Brownlee ` is not practical. If they were taken off the route overnight, public transport would cease to exist in Auckland. That's not realistic, and I think instead of huffing and puffing, Gerry Brownlee's got to find a quick, practical solution. Late this afternoon, I spoke to Snapper Services. They were adamant they could still meet the November deadline and rejected any suggestion they were liable to cost overruns incurred by Auckland Transport. NZ Bus says it remains committed to Auckland's integrated ticketing system. Corin Dann, ONE News. A group of animal rights activists are vowing to continue their campaign against caged hens. Several were forced from their protest blockades this afternoon at Mainland Poultry in Waikouaiti, near Dunedin. As Megan Martin found out, they're prepared to go to great heights for their cause. A solid day of protest before a stern warning. As you can see, we've got this machine here now. If we get it to do the full business, you could end up getting arrested. You could end up also having to pay reparation. These animal-rights activists started early with one mission ` to block the road leading into NZ's biggest egg-producing facility. We want to see a ban on all cages for hens. They've been trialling the new colony cages here. The Welfare Code for layer hens is currently under review. It's expected to introduce these larger colony cages, also known as enriched cages, as the new standard. These have nests, perches and scratch pads. Going from where the current cage is to the enriched is actually acknowledging the fact that, yes, welfare needs to be improved; has been improved dramatically over the last 10 years. The protesters don't think they go far enough. They can't really stretch their wings. They can't really scratch in natural conditions. You know, these are sentient creatures. They're treated like production machines. It's no life for an animal. After 10 hours,... They've indicated that if we want them down, we've got to get them down. ...the protest is over. I'm really sore, and I'm really tired, what we're going through is nothing compared to what the battery hens go through every single day in those cages. As the scaffolding comes down, the plight of caged hens is still up in the air. The Code of Welfare is expected to be presented to the minister by the end of the week. The three main protesters have been released without charge. Megan Martin, ONE News. And Close Up talks to an expert who believes we need to think of animal welfare with our heads, not with our hearts. That's at 7, after the news hour. Still to come on ONE News ` a dairy effluent spill brings a heft fine for a company owned by a high-profile farmer. The family caught up in a passport scam that could take the life of a loved one. And the end of the line for the capital's electric trains. We're along for the ride. Then at 7 ` what are our kids being taught about sex? The education you might not want them to get. A company belonging to a top Fonterra director has been fined more than $70,000 for unlawfully discharging raw effluent. It follows an accidental spill from a dairy farm at Maketu in the Bay of Plenty, which polluted a neighbouring property, a nearby stream and wetland. Sharon Fergusson reports. Green smelly water reeking of cow effluent greeted watercress gatherers in Maketu, the result of dairy effluent spilling from a broken pipe on a neighbouring farm. I went to have a look, and it was absolutely revolting. The creek, the pond was thick green, and the stench from several hundred metres away was incredible. The company that owns the neighbouring farm, Armer Farms North Island, has been ordered to pay a fine of $72,000. It would appear from what the sentence is in this case that the judge regarded this matter as being very serious. The company belongs to Tauranga couple Colin and Dale Armer. Mr Armer is a director of Fonterra and tipped to be its next chairman. While Armer Farms recently changed its plea from not guilty to guilty, its lawyers disputed the level of environmental damage. Two ecologists were questioned for several hours on the finer detail of cow effluent in streams and swamps. The expert engaged by Armer Farms argued the level of environmental damage was not significant. Obviously, their arguments weren't accepted by the court, and I guess, as I said before, that where you get a council taking an action like this it's because they regard it as serious. In the last four years, the Environment Court has heard more than 150 prosecutions related to dairy effluent. We want farmers to really understand the consents and what it requires them to do. We want them to have maintenance checks in place so that there is regular checking of equipment and it is functioning properly. The council says $72,000 is at the higher end of fines for these sort of offences. Sharon Fergusson, ONE News. A passport scam uncovered by ONE News is now being investigated by the Immigration Advisors Authority. More victims are coming forward, including one family which needs its money back to save a life. They spoke to Pacific correspondent Barbara Dreaver. Ana Uvea lost $10,000 in an immigration scam. Now she desperately needs the money to save her father's life. I already got my dad's bill. It was over 10,000. That's because her father, who has cancer, is an overstayer. His bill needs to be paid before he receives further treatment But the money's gone in a bid to get residency through a scheme run by this woman, Kolini Vaka. She explained that the government offer that package for the overstayer in NZ. Ana Uvea was told the scheme was for family groups, so she got together her relatives both here and in Tonga. All together, 27 of them gave Kolini Vaka money to be part of the deal. To raise the money, they sold all their valuable tapa ` family heirlooms that can't be replaced. We need to sell everything to get that money to do our papers, eh. The distraught family has learned the truth about the illegal scheme and what it might end up costing them. Right now I hate her. The family is one of several prepared to give evidence to the Immigration Advisors Authority. The current passport scam is being investigated by us, and we are working with police in investigating the matter. Kolini Vaka has gone to ground. The authority is encouraging affected overstayers to give them information in confidence. If they are here in an unlawful capacity, that will only be known to us. Ana Uvea is desperate to help her father, but is also speaking out so no one else will get hurt. Barbara Dreaver, ONE News. Turkey's requested an emergency NATO meeting over the shooting down of one of its jets by Syria. Turkey's accused Syria of downing an unarmed reconnaisance jet, similar to this one, without warning and when it was in international airspace. Syria says its forces only realised it was a Turkish jet after firing on it. The search continues for the two missing crewmen, now feared dead. A tropical storm bearing down on the United States SUFI SHRINE DESTROYED FIRE RIPPED THROUGH THE BUILDING A tropical storm bearing down on the United States has already claimed one life and forced the closure of offshore oil and gas platforms. SHOUTING Tropical Storm Debby is churning towards Florida, bringing gale-force winds and heavy rain. It's also spawned tornadoes which have killed one woman and wrecked homes. About 8% of oil and gas production in the Gulf of Mexico has been shut down as workers flee the rigs. Time for our weather now, and a storm bearing down on us too? Wild wind turbine. That means wraparound winds of up to 150 K. Luckily it's just offhsore. For weather, see onenews.co.nz Reflection time at Canterbury's Porter's Pass skifield today. A good chance of some more snow there tomorrow too. I'll be back after Jenny-May with a storm update. Up next on ONE News ` Why you might find it harder to get what you're looking for at the DVD store. And they've been rocking the tracks for more than 70 years. Now it's time to say goodbye. Tonight on Close Up ` is our sex education outdated? Or are teenagers getting more than they can handle? There's a lot of misinformation out there. Plus ` the caged fight for animal rights. They're going to extremes to protest, but are they the ones with egg on their faces? 1 The Opposition has accused the government of a public relations gimmick in coming out with a 10-point plan. It's announced its goals for the next five years include reducing the number of people on a benefit for more than a year by 30% from 78,000 to 58,000, 85% of 18-year-olds will achieve NCEA level two, and 70% of government services will be done online. The range of films and TV programmes on offer down at the DVD store could become more limited for Kiwi viewers. That's because of a funding squeeze at the Censor's Office and the fact more film distributors are choosing not to put their movies up for classification. Political editor Corin Dann's been looking into the problem. A fee of around $1100 to get one movie or DVD a censor's classification is peanuts when it comes to hits like The Avengers. But for distributors of smaller films and TV shows, it can be a big barrier. To have to consider that you're gonna recoup that from your sales, it often doesn't happen. So we often find that TV series, in particular, don't get released in NZ. The Office of Film and Literature Classification gets around a third of its $3m annual budget from private distributors like Vendetta Films. The rest comes from taxpayers. Chief censor Andrew Jack says that funding structure is not working properly, and it's vital they find out why. Otherwise... NZers might, in the future, see a narrower range of products available for them to watch. Independent Wellington DVD store Aro Video says it's already aware of hundreds of films that are not publicly released in NZ because of high censorship costs. We would go further and say that we need a-a national review of the classification system. We think that taxpayers' money is better spent on actually looking at what the problems are. But Dr Jack says one solution is to see if taxpayers might consider bearing more of the cost of classifying a film. I think it's really good thing for people to actually have some discussion about what is, um, the public value in a classification system as opposed to the private good. But the Government is ruling out more direct financial help. Dr Jack's got to work within the levers he can pull, within his business model now going forward and make the organisation more sustainable. However, Chris Tremain says censorship remains important, and the Government will continue to work with the chief censor to ensure his office has a sustainable future. Corin Dann, ONE News. It's the end of the line for a fleet of English electric trains which have been farewelled in Wellington. The long-serving carriages are making way for new ones, meaning it's time to relive some memories. Arrun Soma has more. All aboard. Gretta Beck stepping on for the last English Electric journey. She was also on the first, back in 1938. My father holding on to the handrails, and I was holding on to his legs. The train was so full of people. Breakdowns were familiar even back then. It hit a slip. We had to get out of the train and jump down on to the ground and walk through the tunnel. Half a dozen English Electric trains entered service 74 years ago. That grew to 60 in the early 1950s as the capital's railway lines developed. But now they're too old, so they've been replaced by the new Matangi trains. So what happens to them now? While some of these carriages will go in a museum, the others are up for sale. It's hoped heritage groups take an interest and buy them. One group's already trying to raise funds. A single two-carriage train will cost at least $30,000. English Electric driver John Fahey says it's the end of an era. The older drivers that've turned up here today, they'll be sad to see them go. It's very sad, very sad. As the train closed the doors on its last stop, the journey's opened some fond memories. Arrun Soma, ONE News. And it's the end of an era for the Overlander rail service between Auckland and Wellington. It's been replaced by the Northern Explorer, which set out from Auckland on its first trip this morning. Its carriages boast panoramic windows and swivelling seats and a commentary triggered by GPS. But the train will only make four stops instead of 16. Ticket prices have gone up. A one-way inter-city journey will cost around $100 more. Looking at our top stories tonight ` The Canterbury earthquake royal commission's heard the CTV building collapsed within seconds, killing 115 people. The commission is sitting for eight weeks to establish what caused the collapse and will hear from many witnesses, including experts from the United States. Diving boots and a cigarette packet found at the scene have been the focus of the trial of the man accused of murdering Scott Guy.

Beaten up All Blacks is no big deal, though, for the Super 15 leaders. We'll get a scan on that today, but we're hopeful that it'll settle down quickly and he'll be right for Friday. If not, former Highlander Robbie Robinson could step in to the 10 jersey, but the coach is leaning towards his other fullback, Andrew Horrell. We've got a couple of really good replacements there, but Andrew Horrell would be the man that starts. Horrell is happy as long as he's on the field. Yep, definitely. I can also play second five as well. Don't like to be too versatile, but, yeah, I don't mind either of them. The performance of The Answer ` Sam Cane ` in the All Blacks seven jersey has left the chiefs coaching staff with a question. Pick and go with Tanerau Latimer or start the up-and-comer? In the end, I think both those guys will get an opportunity to start in the next two to three weeks, and then they'll end up deciding or influencing our decision from a play-off point of view. With one eye already on the play-offs, the Chiefs are looking to hit the ground running on Friday. Their opening round loss to the Highlanders was the only time a NZ side has bettered them this year. Mark Hathaway, ONE News. And while there's plenty of talk about the performance of Sam Cane at seven, his All Blacks skipper's not ready to hand over that jersey just yet. While the rest of the Crusaders trained, Richie McCaw and a procession of injured All Blacks went behind doors. McCaw made it clear he'll play where the All Blacks coaches want him, but his preferred spot is at openside. Oh, I play seven. That's where I've always played, and that's what I know best and I think I do best at, but, you know, as I say, you do whatever is right, and it's just nice to be able to cover those others. Number eight Kieran Read is cautious as he monitors the head knocks that kept him out of the third Test. Bit tired and things last week. Kind of stuck with me all through the week, so just had to try and get those right before I do too much. I'm feeling a lot better than I was last week, so we'll just really ease into this week and see how I go. Read will reassess his health tomorrow, but is an unlikely starter in the Crusaders' home match against the Hurricanes on Saturday night. NZ athlete Kim Smith has clocked up another promising milestone in her build-up to the Olympic marathon. The US-based runner's won the coveted 10 K event in Boston. US correspondent Jack Tame was there. It might not have been her favoured event, but Kim Smith still had time to turn around and watch second place catch up. Didn't know, really, what to expect. Sometimes it goes OK when you're in hard marathon training, and sometimes it can go really bad. So I had a good day today, so pretty happy. This morning's 10km race felt like a sprint compared to the marathon she'll run in London. More a chance to test speed than endurance. It's the same distance she ran at the Beijing Games. As you get older, you get a little bit slower, and you kind of have to move up in distance, and it was time for me to move up. Still, she didn't look slow. At 7km Smith pulled away, and the gap kept growing, finishing in 31.36 to beat the course record by 22 seconds. Particularly encouraging, considering the last two winners of the Boston marathon were also in the lead pack. I think it's definitely gonna be the fastest women's marathon there has been ever. These women are running really quick times out there, so you're gonna have to have a lot of speed out there, and I think it's gonna be a quick race. This caps a particularly successful domestic running season for Kim Smith. As well as the win here today, she picked up a win in the San Diego half-marathon a few weeks ago. And aside from the Olympics, this year there's extra incentive to stay in front. With two of three races done, Smith's now leading the Boston middle-distance medley. If she wins the half-marathon in October, she'll win $100,000. Jack Tame, ONE News, Boston. And their speed over 10 K's is what's marking British athletes Alistair and Jonathan Brownlee as favourites for the Olympic triathlon. The brothers have scored a one-two at the latest World Cup event in Austria. World champion Alistair back after a four-month injury layoff to win. Younger brother Johnnie finished 49 seconds behind. Tony Dodds was the best placed Kiwi, in 10th. England's hopes of glory at the European Football Championships have turned to ashes. Misses by Ashley Young and Ashley Cole in a penalty shoot-out against Italy has seen them knocked out in the quarter-finals. Glen Larmer reports. This is the sight of the Italians moments before the penalty shoot-out began. Total determination not to let their chance slip despite 120 minutes of goal-less football. Contrast that to England and you might ask who wanted it more. And it was the same during the match. Oh, it's a brilliant shot, and how unfortunate is that? The Italians were more creative, more adventurous, mounting chance after chance. And while England had some opportunities, Italy were the better side. Here's the chance, surely. Marchisio with the header back in. Oh, what a miss. The Italians come again with a De Rossi shot. Beaten away. Balotelli again here. They try and force it. Surely now. Over the bar! But despite being unable to score, they never got frustrated, even when they did finally put one in the net. And the ball in surely. Italy have the goal. No, they do not. It's offside. So somehow England survived, and it looked like luck would be on their side when they caught a break early in the shoot-out. But then it all fell apart. Firstly, Ashley Young and then Ashley Cole. Italy's outstanding skipper Gianluigi Buffon led from the front. Italy through thanks to Alessandro Diamanti. And Italy are through to the semi-finals to play Germany. You know, I thought this time on a penalty shoot-out we might've had that bit of luck we needed. It wasn't to be. So England's woeful record in penalty shoot-outs continues ` just one win in seven at a major tournament. Glen Larmer, ONE News. Concern for the Mystics as the finals of netball's trans-Tasman competition looms, with experienced defender Anna Harrison injured in last night's nine-goal win over the Tactix in Christchurch. The wiley Silver Ferns defender made an impact early in the match, but was forced to the sideline after just six minutes, injuring her calf. Yeah, she went back. That left one. High up in the top of the calf, and it's still troubling her. She looks a bit worried, I have to say, in terms of where it's at. Cathrine Latu was again impressive, landing 45 of her 46 attempts. Final score 64-55. Tonight the much-improved Pulse meet the fourth-placed Melbourne Vixens in the capital. Formula One's Fernando Alonso has become the first repeat winner of the season with a thrilling home victory in valencia. It was a day dominated by former world champions, some for the good, some for the worse as the BBC's Nick Parrot reports. Formula One has been anything but predictable this season. However, it looked like Sebastian Vettel might start to dominate once again. The double world champion left everyone trailing at the start and soon opened up a 20-second lead. That disappeared when the safety car was called so marshals could clean up after Jean-Eric Vergne. The dash for fresh tyres that followed should have allowed Lewis Hamilton to catch up from third, but his McLaren team have had problems with pit stops all seasons, and this error cost him three places. Fernando Alonso had worked his way through the field from 11th. After the restart, he jumped to second. Vettel still had the upper hand, but not for long. Vettel has a problem! Vettel in trouble! He's got a puncture, has he?! Besting a series of overtakes saw Hamilton move up to second, but as his tyres wore out, so did his hopes of victory. Kimi Raikkonen passed him and then Pastor Maldonado saw an opportunity. He rolled it! Oh, Hamilton's in the wall! Heartache for Hamilton was followed by a claim for Alonso. Fernando Alonso is the first repeat winner of 2012. Not only did the home fans see their hero return to the top of the driver's championship, but Michael Schumacher back on the podium for the first time since he returned to Formula One. And Kiwi driver Mitch Evans has maintained his overall lead in the GP3 standings at the same track in Valencia. Swiss driver Patric Niederhauser won race two after starting from pole position. Evans, who won race one from pole, finished sixth in the reverse grid race to grab a four-point lead in the championship. One of British sport's biggest obsessions is about to begin ` can one of their own finally win the men's or women's singles title at Wimbledon? Perennial hope again is for Scot Andy Murray, and it appears he's even got the world number one on his side. I think he's been in, uh, several occassions here in the semi-finals and, you know, he deserves to win. And I don't know if it's going to be this year, but he's one of the favourites, for sure. Kiwi number one Marina Erakovic is on court tomorrow, up against Poland's Urszula Radwanska, younger sister of number-three seed Agnieska. And you can see all the action from Wimbledon right here, live on ONE, starting tonight. Coverage begins at midnight. After the break ` the latest on the wintry gales lashing the deep south. Next on Close Up ` what are our kids being taught about sex? The sacrament of personal union. The education you might not want them to get. There's a lot of misinformation out there. Plus ` leading the charge against battery cages. Why one guerrilla group says improved conditions aren't enough. And the record-breaking new novel. Just who is reading Fifty Shades of Grey? Close Up's here next, TV ONE. Hi again. We've got the low you saw last night, plunging to 962 hPa. That's a power storm tracking close to Stewart Island. Winds could upset roofing iron and branches anywhere from Southland to Wairarapa. For weather, see onenews.co.nz Thanks, Jim. And you know you can trust that forecast if a Reader's Digest poll is anything to go by. It puts our Jim at ninth on the list of most trusted NZers. Victorious World Cup rugby captain Richie McCaw has taken this year's title. Cookbook author Alison Holst is runner-up, while the Mad Butcher and charity worker Sir Peter Leitch is third. And that's ONE News for Monday.
