We've got a front parked up over southern NZ, producing some rain and drizzle there. And cloud has been spilling over northern parts of the country as another front closes in there. Later in the news hour, I'll tell you which front could be gearing up to squeeze out some heavy falls tomorrow. 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, a movie-theatre massacre. Panic at a packed Batman premiere as a man calling himself the Joker goes wild. We have extensive coverage. The lines are drawn. A confrontation with protesters at National's first big conference since the election. Meet Trev the Rev. How a Lotto millionaire's now burning a hole in his pocket. Also, a live ONE News exclusive. You'll see if our huge new America's Cup boat is a smash hit. Kia ora. Good evening. Police are stepping up security at screenings of the latest Batman blockbuster in the wake of a movie theatre massacre in America. A university student calling himself 'the Joker' went on a rampage at a midnight showing of The Dark Knight Rises. He's set to appear in court on Tuesday after 12 people were killed and 58 injured. We have extensive coverage from the scene in the Denver suburb of Aurora, and we'll go live to a CNN correspondent there. But first here's Kate Lynch with the details. The fear and chaos outside the midnight premiere of the latest Batman movie captured on a cellphone. What's happening? Oh my God! The cinema was packed with excited movie-goers. Among them, James Holmes had also bought a ticket, and died his hair red like the Joker, a villain in the Batman series. Witnesses say at 5 past midnight, the 24-year-old sat with everyone else. The lights went down and Holmes pretended to get a phone call and left the theatre. As the movie began, outside Holmes was gearing up, dressed in black, wearing a bulletproof vest, a helmet and gas mask, he's overheard telling himself, 'I am the Joker'. Then standing at the front of the cinema, Holmes threw two green canisters up the aisles. I heard the sound of metal canisters clinking around, and then I saw plumes of smoke. Movie-goers thought it was part of the show. Instead what unfolded was a real-life horror movie. I see a guy next, a gentleman right next to me getting shot. That's when I realised that this is not, like, part of the movie; there is a gunman, and he is shooting everyone. Some didn't stand a chance and died in their seats. He ended up shooting people behind me. I could hear moaning and groaning. I could hear screams, and just cries, little kids and moms. There was a lady with a baby in there that got shot at. I mean, It was just terrifying. Others were shot as they tried to flee to exits. All I could think, 'If I stand up he is going to shoot,' because that's what he was doing. I was trying to think how I was going to get my kids out of there. Witnesses say the gunman stopped before reloading and firing again. A total of 70 people were shot. At 12.45, 40 minutes later, the gunman is spotted behind the theatre and surrenders without a fight. He was apprehended with three weapons in the car. Police searched his apartment and found a web of booby traps, flammable chemical devices and trip wires. His stunned parents have flown to Denver and are working with the authorities. Their hearts go out to all victims and their families. Victims and their families are waiting for some kind of explanation, but what drove James Holmes to do this is still unclear. Kate Lynch, ONE News. A note just in about James Holmes' apartment. Police say it's so extensively booby-trapped, they now won't try to defuse it till tomorrow. They plan to use a robot and close traffic on nearby streets. What is becoming clear is the gunman carefully planned the attack. Police say he'd bought the weapons legally at three stores in the past 60 days along with 6000 rounds of ammunition. ABC's Brian Ross uncovers more on James Holmes. He moved to Colorado last fall and came across as a quiet and easy-going college student. But it was a different Jim Holmes who showed up at this San Diego pawn shop over the past few months, asking for tips about firing a gun. I immediately recognised him when I saw his picture. I was` My first words out of my mouth was, 'Oh my God he looks very familiar.' Last night, neighbours at his Aurora apartment building heard loud techno music blaring from his room with the recorded sounds of gunshots. Knowing that I almost opened the door to his apartment... I was banging on that door, and thank God that he wasn't there. And then Holmes apparently attempted to make himself into the Joker character of the Batman series. according to a briefing given to the New York police commissioner. He had his hair painted red. He said he was the Joker. It was over the last few months that Holmes saw his academic and career dreams collapse, as he began to withdraw from a PhD programme in neuroscience at the University of Colorado. These events usually come on after someone thinks about and plans for these attacks. This was Holmes just six years ago. Called Jimmy ` a clean-cut, 5'11" high-school senior in San Diego. He had been a member of the junior varsity soccer team. He was just quiet. He was just quiet. When Holmes' mother, a psychiatric nurse, was first contacted at her San Diego home this morning, she did not seem surprised that something had happened. 'You've got the right person,' she told ABC News. 'I've got to call the police.' The latest update from police is that 30 of the 58 injured are still in hospital, 11 of them critical. But they haven't yet identified all the victims. ABC's Chris Cuomo was with some families anxious to know more. Today, friends and family raced to Gateway High School, desperate for news that loved ones survived; terrified of the unknown. SOBS: His name is Alex Sullivan. Please call so we can find him, all right? So far the name of one victim ` Jessica Ghawi (24), an aspiring sports reporter who incredibly survived another shooting in Toronto last month, and blogged about the preciousness of life. Survivors, like Chris Ramos, tried to make sense of the terror. There's no feeling, no word, no drawn detail of what I could give you to make you understand how we felt washing away the blood or just washing away the dirt and the fear that they have on their skin. This horror created by someone at their worst, but saved by people at their best; people like Gerald Brooks (19) who took a bullet to the leg helping to rescue a mother and her two young children. < Do you think about where that bullet would have gone if your body wasn't where it was? The position of where I was at, it probably could have hit her in her hip, cos I was guiding her. I was doing baby steps, like, crawling. The littlest one, the baby girl, could have probably got hit in the head. < Hero. How do you feel about that word being put on your for what happened in that theatre? I don't want to say hero necessarily. I was in the wrong place at the right time. That's all I can say. < Isn't it you were in the wrong place at the wrong time because you wound up getting shot? I was in the wrong place because I had to deal with the situation, but I was there at the right time because I was there to help them. The shooting happened just half an hour's drive from another mass killing, one that triggered the Michael Moore movie Bowling For Columbine. Columbine was the worst of a series of school shootings in America in the 1990s. Two teenagers gunned down 12 schoolmates and a teacher before killing themselves. The deadliest act by a gunman in America this century happened at a university. Student Seung-hui Cho killed 32 and wounded 15 at Virginia Tech in Blacksburg before shooting himself. And an army man who went on a rampage nearly three years ago faces a military trial next month. Psychologist Major Nidal Hasan is accused of murdering 13, mostly soldiers, and injuring 32 at Fort Hood in Texas. And the Pentagon says military personnel are among the casualties in the cinema massacre, but can't yet confirm numbers or if any were killed. There's also been a swift reaction from political leaders as flags were flown at half mast around America. We may never understand what leads anybody to terrorise their fellow human beings like this. Such violence, such evil is senseless. It's beyond reason. Mr Obama and his Republican rival, Mitt Romney, toned down their presidential campaigns following the killings. And we've just got pictures in of Aurora residents getting together to show support for the families and friends of people killed and injured. The impromptu candlelit vigil comes ahead of a more official gathering tomorrow NZ time. A premiere in Paris featuring the cast of The Dark Knight Rises was cancelled following the massacre. Director Christopher Nolan called the rampage 'unbearably savage' and expressed his 'profound sorrow' to the victims and their families. And there's now uncertaintly over whether the movie will be a box office hit. We have more on that on onenews.co.nz It's now almost exactly 24 hours since the movie theatre killings. CNN correspondent Sandra Endo is in Aurora and joins us now. Sandra, we've heard police are beefing up security at New York screenings of The Dark Knight Rises. What's the situation there? THERE'S A PRECAUTION BEING TAKEN DUE TO THE SHOOTING BUT WARNER BROS IS NOT SCALING BACK THE RELEASE OR REMOVING THE MIDNIGHT SHOWINGS. THEY'RE GOING FULL STEAM AHEAD, BUT EXPRESSING THEIR CONDOLENCES THERE ARE MORE RESTRCITIONS ON PEOPLE'S COSTUMES THE SUSPECT DYED HIS HAIR RED AND SAID HE WAS THE JOKER, SO THAT'S WHY,. Sandra, we understand there are plans for a vigil. What can you tell us about that? THERE IS A MAKESHIFT MEMORIAL BEING FORMED, WITH A PRAYER VIGIL AN OFFICIAL MEMORIAL BEING HELD ON SUNDAY WITH THE MAYOR THE COMMUNITY WILL COME TOGETHER AND REFLECT ON IT ALL. CNN correspondent Sandra Endo. The protests against the education policies of John Key's government have just got louder. Hundreds have swarmed around the Auckland venue for the National Party's annual conference to vent their anger. Political reporter Jessica Mutch was there and joins us now. Jessica. PEOPLE ARE ARRIVING NOW FOR COCKTAILS SECURITY HAS BEEN BEEFED UP COMPARED TO THE PAST. You were so beautiful. They say they're mourning the death of education under a National government. ALL CHANT: Can't you see? Kids are not commodities. About 300 protesters marched on Sky City to deliver their message to the National Party inside. We have a problem of inequality in our country, and education is one way that we can address that. A heavy police presence rushes to the entrance, making sure no one gets through. Even securing a beauty salon next door so protesters don't slip through the side door. The protesters are gathering downstairs. I'm inside the Sky City Convention Centre, but upstairs the conference is carrying on. 400 delegates are inside listening to MPs speak. PROTESTER CHANT John Key played down the protest, saying it won't make a difference to his agenda. I think we went into the 2011 election with a very clear plan for NZ. We're executing that plan, and I think we have an absolute authority to do that, and we intend to carry on. The speaker-turned-singer kicked off the conference. # God defend our free land. # Getting down to business, Stephen Joyce had a message for delegates, saying we need to tap into Asia so we don't miss out on job opportunities. I'm worried that the greatest risk for this country is we ankle-tap ourselves on the way to taking advantage of that opportunity. Taking a swipe at the opposition. The snake oil salesmen, frankly, like Labour and the Greens that somehow try and pretend you can oppose all development in this country and then pretend you can have more jobs. That is fairy-tale stuff. We're set to hear more from National tomorrow when the Prime Minister delivers his keynote speech. So, Jessica, do you have any more details about that speech? IT'S GOING TO BE ABOUT THE ECONOMY AND ASSET SALES AND THE INCENTIVE PROGRAMME THERE'S SET TO BE ANOTHER PROTEST TOMORROW. Political reporter Jessica Mutch. And Q + A will have a live interview with John Key from the party conference. That's here on ONE from 9 o'clock tomorrow morning. It's taken a total of half a century in design time, plus 65,000 hours to build. A huge project for Team NZ's new AC 72 catamaran which'll challenge for yachting's prestigious America's Cup. Now it's time to unveil the boat's name, and Jenny-May Coffin joins us live from the Auckland waterfront. Jenny-May. IT HAS BEEN A LONG JOURNEY. HERE'S GRANT DALTON IT'S ABOUT TO BE CHRISTENED 'NZ' HERE'S JOHN KEY. $34M TAX MONEY GONE INTO THIS. WHAT CAN WE EXPECT? HOPEFULLY SHOWCASE NZ. LET'S GET THE CELEBRATIONS UNDERWAY HERE. HERE'S MANDY, DEAN BARKER'S WIFE. I NAME THIS YACHT 'NZ'. GOD BLESS HER AND ALL WHO SAIL ON HER. And we'll go back to Jenny-May at the boat-naming ceremony later in sport.

A trio caught up in the Cook Islands biggest ever drug bust has been sent to jail for up to six years. Former top Kiwi cop Mark Franklin is still waiting for his trial over drug dealing allegations in the NZ-led investigation. But in Rarotonga today, a Cook Islands policewoman, her partner and the postie all pleaded guilty for the parts they played. Donna-Marie Lever with today's developments. The jail nicknamed the Arorangi Hilton has three new house guests. One is a woman who used to make arrests, former senior policewoman Inano Matapo, her partner in life and crime, Giovanni Marsters, and the postal worker who helped them ` Sam Tangaroa. All were jailed after admitting their parts in a drug ring busted by 11 Kiwi cops. The year-long investigation ended in May last year with 13 arrests. We had an issue with drugs in this small country or ours. We decided to do something about it. Marsters was jailed for six years after pleading guilty to cannabis charges, including importing the drug. Matapo, who's also the daughter of the former police commissioner, admitted selling the drug and corruption charges. Her jail sentence is two and a half years. And Tangaroa, a postal worker who would intercept drug parcels before police dogs could detect them, will spend four years in jail for selling and supplying cannabis and importing the seeds. Among those netted in Operation Eagle ` a former detective inspector from NZ, Mark Franklin. He left police here six years ago to work as an independent investigator in Rarotonga. It's alleged he was a small-time dealer, selling cannabis from a local bar. As there are still outstanding matters to be dealt with by the court, I can't make any further comments. Six others, including Franklin, await their fates with two separate trials due to get underway in the coming weeks. Donna-Marie Lever, ONE News. Tens of thousands of Syrian regugees are fleeing into Lebanon as the crisis escalates. The United Nations refugee agency says as many as 30,000 may've crossed the border in just 48 hours. Inside Syria, banks are reported to be running out of cash and a million people are thought to be displaced. Meanwhile the United Nations Security Council has unanimously voted to keep its observers in Syria for 30 more days. They were sent to oversee a ceasefire that never took hold and have now suspended their work in the face of escalating violence. Rebels appear to be closing on Damascus after killing four of president Bashar al-Assad's top aides. The BBC's Wyre Davies reports from the Turkish-Syrian border. GUNSHOTS As much as the Syrian government might like to protest it's still completely in charge of its capital, pictures from Damascus today suggest otherwise. MAN WAILS There's fighting in several parts of the city, and many people have been killed. Anti-government protesters take to the streets and the mosques. Rebel leaders insist that Bashar al-Assad's days are numbered. (SPEAKS ARABIC) TRANSLATOR: The free Syrian army congratulates the Syrian people at the beginning of the month of Ramadan, and we hope this month will bring certain victory. It's not all going the rebels' way. The government has been carrying out what it calls the 'cleansing of Al-Midan'. The streets of this Damascus suburb are now free of rebel fighters ` or terrorists, as the regime calls them. (SPEAKS ARABIC) 'I saw one father who had lost five member of his family,' this man tells me. 'That's why we got out. It's too dangerous.' Tonight the UN extended its observer mission for a final 30 days. RIFLE BANGS It's perhaps the last chance to cooperate for a leader who is slowly losing control of his capital and his country. The Olympic torch has arrived in London for the final leg of its 12,000km journey. It made a dramatic entrance ` flown in by military helicopter and abseiled into the tower of London by a marine commando. But it wasn't such smooth sailing earlier in the day when a protester attacked one of the torch bearers. The flame will now be carried around Central London, ending at the Olympic stadium in six days' time. And it's not just the athletes who are preparing for their big moment in London. Three young Kiwi musicians have been chosen as part of a world orchestra which will play at the Games' opening ceremony. Europe correspondent Garth Bray reports. The hurly-burly of the Olympic Village seems a distant rumble in the tiny village of Snape. But here a musical tribute worthy of the athletic endeavour down the road in London is taking shape. World famous conductor Sir Mark Elder is putting these musicians aged 18 to 29 through an exacting schedule. His principal viola sitting front and centre is loving every moment. Coming from Christchurch, you know, we've lost our town hall, and we've lost so many of our venues. Um, so to play in some of the best venues in the world, it's a real pleasure. Britain may struggle to top the medals table, but plans to offer world-beating performances in the arts that hark back to the Games' ancient origins. Cultural part of the Olympics originally played a very big part, so I think it's really nice that the London Olympics have had the chance to bring that back to life again. With 199 young performers at their peak, from 35 nations, this place feels a little like the Olympic Games Village. partly because competition to get in was so intense, but from here it's all about cooperation to achieve a peak performance in the cultural Olympiad. We're all together for the same thing ` just making good music. After the orchestra's medals event, a performance at the proms on the weekend the Games begin. And if it comes together, a victory the whole field can share. Garth Bray, ONE News, Snape Maltings. Weather time now. And there could be some heavy rain on the way for northern districts? It's certainly been clouding up there today. We've got a frontal system closing in, bringing rain with it, and there could be some heavy falls for places north of Auckland. Now to our live weather cameras. Coming up, what lies beneath. How a group of Kiwi scientists are finding mines hidden in Pearl Harbor. Plus tearing up the racetrack. We catch up with the $26-million man and his new set of toys. 1 A team of NZ mines experts is using a high-tech submarine to help map the underwater terrain of Pearl Harbor. The unmanned submersible can pick out the individual weights on a diving belt at a hundred meters. It's all part of the world's biggest navy exercise now on in Hawaii. US correspondent Jack Tame reports. 71 years since it was attacked by Japan, Pearl Harbor is witnessing a poignant reminder of how time heals history. Yeah it's amazing. There's history all around us here, so it's great to be able to come here. And from a Japanese mother ship, this NZ team is heading out on the water to search for hidden danger. We've put exercise mines in the water, and that's what we're going away to find. Mines-countermeasure teams from NZ, Japan and the US are all working together around Pearl, using unmanned submersibles and sonar to map the underwater terrain. It's a very high-definition sonar, and it looks either side of the fish. And, effectively, it's like looking at an acoustic video picture. There are no longer any live mines in Pearl Harbor, but travelling at four knots, the submersibles can accurately map huge areas. Once the fish is in the water, really, there isn't much to do except wait. It sends data up every minute or so to let the crew know it's OK, but it can be six to eight hours by the time it reaches the end of its battery and returns to the surface. The NZ team already uses their machines to search for more than just mines. The same submersible found the wreck of the Princess Ashika near Tonga, and the team helped to map Lyttelton Harbour after the Christchurch earthquake. So, Jose's team's been out this morning, as well. They've got about two hours left on the mission. On Pearl Harbor, warfare's no longer the main focus. These three teams will spend the rest of their time together, preparing for the Pacific's next humanitarian crisis. Jack Tame, ONE News, Honolulu, Hawaii. One of the country's lotto millionaires has turned a childhood dream into reality. After winning $26m earlier this year, motorsport enthusiast Trevor Cooper made his national racing debut today. On the road to fulfilling a childhood fantasy. He's living the dream like we all would. Newly mega-rich petrolhead Trevor Cooper is shifting up a gear or two from his former life as a supermarket worker. He's racing at the off-road endurance championship in Nelson; two days of high octane, adrenalin-fuelled mayhem. Life has changed dramatically. We're able to do now what we've only dreamed about over the years. We're loving everything we're doing at the moment. Motorsport has been in our blood. You can't put it any better. It's a family affair. Mum and Dad are race officials at the big event. 'Safety first,' I told him. Trevor's spent the past few months kicking up dirt in the States, and has a full racing schedule up until Christmas. He's still learning the ropes, but he's bought some big-ticket items from the US along the way, and even formed a professional racing team. We're taking it very seriously. It's gonna be a full-time job. So has a cool 26 million changed the man? Trevor is Trevor. He's still the same kid. He's still just Trevor. Couldn't be prouder. He's my favourite son. He might be my only son, but's he's my favourite son! So what about his other new status as NZ'S most eligible bachelor? What he has told me is that's he's got 'someone' ` quote, unquote. Sorry, ladies, you may have to put the brakes on that dream for now. Updating tonight's leading stories ` An official vigil is planned to remember people who have died in a cinema massacre in America. A 24-year-old wearing body armour and a gas mask entered a movie theatre in Denver, Colorado, and opened fire killing 12 people and wounding 58. Police say he bought the weapons and 6000 rounds of ammunition legally. Hundreds of protesters have vowed to interrupt the National Party annual conference again tomorrow where the Prime Minister will deliver his keynote speech in which he's expected to give more details about the asset sale process. Jenny-May joins us again from the Auckland Viaduct, this time with sport. I'm at the launch of Team NZ's America's Cup campaign. Team boss Grant Dalton will join me later. But after the break, we'll take you to Christchurch ahead of tonight's Super Rugby semi-final between the Crusaders and Bulls. Plenty happening in the sporting world. Tiger Woods makes it look easy at the British Open. Ben Barba turns magician in the 'grudge match' at Brookvale. And which Magic player do the Vixens plan to target in tomorrow's trans-Tasman grand final? Kia ora. Welcome back to Auckland Viaduct where Team NZ's just launched their AC 72 catamaran for the America's Cup. We'll chat with team boss Grant Dalton later in the bulletin, but first let's head to Christchurch where reporter Blair Norton is joined by injured Crusader Kieran Read ahead of tonight's Super Rugby play-off match against the Bulls. FIRST UP, KIERAN, THANKS FOR JOINING US. YOU'RE NOT PLAYING TONIGHT. WHAT'S THE STORY WITH THESE RIBS OR YOURS? NOT QUITE RIGHT. GOT A LITTLE CRACK IT'S 50/50 WHETHER I';; SEE THE NEW GAME NEXT WEEK THE BULLS HAVE HAD THE WOOD OVER THE CRUSADERS WITH THREE WINS IN THE SEMI-FINALS SINCE 2007. WE'VE REALLY GOT TO STEP UP WE HAVE TO DO WELL TONIGHT HOW MUCH ADVANTAGE IS THE HOME CROWD� IT'S MASSIVE UNFORTUNATELY, THE HOME ADVANTAGE ISN'T GOING TO BE AS BIG AS IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN. DISAPPOINTINGLY, THERE'S STILL AROUND 4,500 TICKETS LEFT, SO UNLESS THEY GET A BIG WALK-UP CROWD, IT'S NOT GOING TO BE A FULL HOUSE, WHICH IS A BIT SURPRISING. Here's Stephen Stuart. The reaction said it all. Tiger Woods is right in the hunt after this bunker birdie on the 18th at Lytham. It took him into third, four shots off the pace. That's better. The three-time champion insisted it wasn't as hard as it looked. Try telling Rory McIlroy that as he struggled to a 75. As good as Woods was, countryman Brandt Snedecker, who missed the cut in his last three British Opens, was breathtaking. His recovery on the par-four 6th to somehow make birdie, set him up for a six-under 64 and a record equalling 130 through the first 36 holes. He's a stroke ahead of Australian Adam Scott, who also birdied the last. And the lone Kiwi, Steve Alker, was also deadly on the greens, birdying the 16th, and repeating on the 18th. The 41-year-old shot consecutive 69s to comfortably make the cut at his third attempt. He's 11th, pairing him with world number one Luke Donald for the third round. It's a truly international leaderboard with the only thing missing ` an Englishman. Steve Alker is eight strokes off the pace. Olympic silver medallist Nick Willis is running in to top form ahead of London. It's hard to miss Willis, in the bright yellow, who came from ninth at the bell to storm into third place in the 1500m in Monaco behind defending Olympic champion Asbel Kiprop of Kenya. The fast surface ensured the quickest time of the year, and Willis broke the NZ and Oceania records with his sizzling run of 3:30.35. And our paralympians are gearing up for their games as well, with their official uniform uinveiling at a low key event in Auckland today. The uniform's mainly black with a few touches of colour to reflect the youthfulness of the games and the colours of the ocean. To rugby league ` Manly coach Geoff Toovey launched a four-minute assault on the referees after his side's 20-12 loss to the Bulldogs. In stark contrast his opposite, the usually colourful Des Hasler remained calm as he returned to Brookvale for the first time since walking out on the reigning premieres last season. Ah, they still love him. Look at this. The king of Brookvale, back in the coaches' box, but this time as the enemy. And it was his combatants that fired the first shot. He's headed for the sideline into the arms of Barba. Benny Barba would go from hero to zero, to superhero by the end of the match, but in between time, two Kiwi outcasts, Sam Perrett from the Roosters and Krisnan Inu from the Warriors, would grab the spotlight. Kicks across field. Oh no! But it was goodnight for another Kiwi. Sam Kassiano is gone for six weeks with a fractured eye socket. The Sea Eagles launched a second-half attack. Jamie Lyon pouncing on Barba's gamble. Jamie Lyons. It doesn't get any better than that. But that was his only mistake of the night. Barba put his body on the line before sealing the club's eighth win on the trot. Barba's got it off the post. Barba's got it back. 20-12 to the Doggies. Des Hasler is still 'king of the Oval' and his new team are now top of the pile. Prince has got it covered, and Zillman's steaming on to it. Over on the Gold Coast, the Titans upset the Broncos 14-10 in front of their biggest crowd this season. Over 20,000 fans watched the Titans claim their first win in three years against their neighbours. But he'll get there, you'll find. But their six-game losing streak against the Broncos wasn't the only drought broken. Referee Paul Simpkins awarded an 8-point try, the first in two years. And that is an example of an illegal act, as a player has scored. Ben Te'o's last-minute try was too little too late. The Broncos are in danger of dropping out of the top four. The Titans have now joined the Warriors on 20 points. So the pressure's on them to maintain their seven-year unbeaten home record against Newcastle tonight. One knight who does remember what it's like to win in Auckland is veteran centre Timana Tahu who was a very slippery winger back in 2003. Now my focus is more trying to get into the top eight. We're four points out, and we're two points behind the Warriors, so this is going to be a really hard game, and I'm just looking forward to the challenge and hopefully getting a win. Like he did nine years ago with two tries and setting up the match winner in the huge comeback victory. The Waikato Bay of Plenty Magic have finally left for Melbourne looking to secure their first trans-Tasman championship title tomorrow. And while much of the focus has been on Irene van Dyk this week, the Melbourne Vixens insist the real threat's in the middle of the court. Departing for enemy territory to play the last team they lost to this season, the Magic know they'll need all the support they can get. Thank you. ALL: No worries. The Vixens are clear on their game plan, eyeing up mid-court dynamo Laura Langman. She's the crucial link in their team, bringing the defence into the attack, and she was really the standout in the game in the weekend or on Monday night. Oh, I'm flattered that I've got a little bit of attention, but I think from our perspective, it takes seven attackers and seven defenders. If the minor premiers do halt the Magic's 11-match winning streak, they'll be the first team to claim the championship title twice. It's a nice accolade to have, but that's not what we're about, We're about playing netball and playing it really well. Also hoping to play really well ` mid-courter Elias Shadrock, who threw away a crucial ball in their one-goal loss to the Vixens in round four. Definitely looked back on that game and felt really disappointed with my performance, so definitely looking to learn from that experience and move forward. Moving onwards. Oooh. (LAUGHS) And for a team still chasing its first title, hopefully, upwards as well. British riders continue to dominate the Tour de France with the Sky team claiming its fourth stage win. Overall tour leader Bradley Wiggins was happy to do his bit, starting the sprint lead-out, before his world champion teammate Mark Cavendish showed an incredible turn of speed over the last 250m. Sanchez. He locks in, but can he get by? Roche is so close to winning it. He sweeps across the road. Cavendish has just won his second stage Tour de France. He joins the great sprinter, Andre Darrigade, with 22 wins in the Tour de France. What a finish! Wiggins leads by more than two minutes ahead of his favoured individual time trial tonight, before the ceremonial final stage finishes on Monday. Wrapping things up tonight, Team NZ boss Grant Dalton. HOW FAST CAN IT GO. WE CAN DO OVER 40 KNOTS. IT'S GOING TO BE TERRIFYING. WHAGT'S THE PROCESS TO THE AM WE'LL GET INTO SAILING AND THEN A SLOW WORK UP WE'LL STAY HERE UNTIL NEXT YEAR, AND LUNA ROSA WILL JOIN US IN THREE MONTHS WHEN CAN WE SEE THIS CAT IN THE WATER? IT DEPENDS ON THE WEATHER. POSSIBLY THURSDAY NEXT WEEK. Thanks, Grant. That will do it for sport from the Auckland Viaduct. Next on ONE News, Karen will tell you where some heavy rain's a possibility tomorrow. Hello again. Some frontal rain in the far south today, and rain is also heading for the far north as this low pressure system in the Tasman pushes a front down towards Northland. Frontal cloud over the South Island. Another frontal pair moving past Tasmania. Still got the high sitting out near the Chatham Islands, and it's still casting a ridge back towards eastern parts of the country. But its not the main player any more. Too much frontal activity, and both ends of the country. The leading front of this northern system should make landfall late tonight. And the southern front remains slow-moving. Mostly cloudy over the South Island. Patchy rain or drizzle should clear from southern and eastern districts, but that drizzle returning to eastern areas in the evening. Mostly light winds. Cloudy skies over the North Island. Rain north of Auckland with some heavy falls possible. Showers spreading further south, but staying dry over the lower half of the island. Southerly wind in the south. East to north-east winds for everyone else. For weather, see onenews.co.nz That's all from me tonight. See you tomorrow. And that's ONE News for Saturday. From us and all the ONE News team, goodnight. Captions by Hugo Snell and Anne Langford. Captions were made possible with funding from NZ On Air. Copyright TVNZ Access Services 2012
