DUE TO THE LIVE NATURE OF MIDDAY, WE APOLOGISE FOR THE LACK OF CAPTIONS FOR SOME ITEMS. THE FAMILIES OF THE PIKE RIVER MINERS ARE AWARDED MILLIONS OF DOLLARS AS PIKE RIVER COAL IS SENTENCED. IS MADELEINE McCANN STILL ALIVE? THE CASE INTO HER DISAPPEARANCE IS REOPENED, WITH POLICE REVEALING THEY HAVE NEW EVIDENCE AND NEW WITNESSES. AND WINNERS ARE GRINNERS ` SABINE LISICKI MAKES IT TO A WOMEN'S WIMBLEDON FINAL NO ONE WOULD HAVE PREDICTED. THE FAMILIES OF THE 29 MEN WHO DIED IN THE PIKE RIVER MINE DISASTER HAVE EACH BEEN AWARDED $110,000 REPARATION BY THE JUDGE SENTENCING PIKE RIVER COAL LTD. THE SENTENCING HEARING IN GREYMOUTH CONCLUDED A SHORT TIME AGO, WITH JUDGE JANE FARISH HERSELF BECOMING EMOTIONAL AT TIMES. LISA DAVIES WAS THERE. SHE JOINS US NOW LIVE FROM GREYMOUTH. LISA. YESTERDAY THE JUDGE SIGNALLED SHE WAS GOING TO MAKE REPARATIONS TO FAMILIES A PRIORITIES THAT IS WHAT SHE JUST DID. TWO SURVIVORS SUFFERED JUST AS MUCH THIS IS BY MEANS NO WAY OF PUTTING VALUES ON THE LOST LIVES ACCUMULTED FINES AS WELL THE COURT HAS THE POWER TO COMPEL THE OCMPANY INTO LIQUIDAITON SHOULD THEY NOT FIND THE MONEY TO PAY THE FINES EMOTIONALLY: WE SAT THROUGH YESTERDAY A VERY TOUGH MORNING. IT WAS CLEAR THAT THERE IS SIGNIFICANT PSYCHOLOGICAL AND EMOTIONAL TRAUMA THAT IS ONGOING FOR THE FAMILIES OF THE MINERS WHO WERE KILLED, AND ALSO FOR THE TWO MEN WHO SURVIVED. THE VICTIM IMPACT REPORTS WERE HARROWING. THEY ALL FEEL DEEP SORROW, AND IT'S ONLY WHEN YOU READ THEM IN FULL AND YOU HAVE THEIR COLLECTIVE SORROW THAT ONE CAN REALLY UNDERSTAND THE IMPERATIVE IT IS FOR THEM TO BE ABLE TO BURY THEIR BROTHERS, HUSBANDS, PARTNERS AND SONS. THE JUDGE TOLD THE COURT THE PAPAMORA RANGE IS NOT THE FINAL RESITNG PLACE CHOSEN BY THE FAMILIES THE FAMILIES APPLAUDED THE JUDGE FOR THE SENTENCE THEY FEEL SHE'S DELIVERED WHAT THEY DESERVED THANKS. LISA DAVIES, LIVE FROM GREYMOUTH. THE WELLINGTON FINANCIAL ADVISER ACCUSED OF RUNNING THE COUNTRY'S BIGGEST EVER PONZI SCHEME HAS ENTERED NO PLEA WHEN HE APPEARED IN THE WELLINGTON DISTRICT COURT THIS MORNING ON EIGHT FRAUD RELATED CHARGES. DAVID ROSS WAS THE SOLE DIRECTOR OF ROSS ASSET MANAGEMENT, WHICH COLLAPSED LAST YEAR OWING MORE THAN A THOUSAND KIWI INVESTORS ABOUT $450M. DAVID ROSS REFUSED TO SAY ANYTHING TO INVESTORS OR MEDIA OUTSIDE COURT. HE'S BEEN REMANDED ON BAIL UNTIL HIS NEXT APPEARANCE IN AUGUST. IF CONVICTED, MR ROSS FACES YEARS IN JAIL. THERE HAS BEEN A MIXED REACTION TO LABOUR'S RADICAL PROPOSAL TO GET MORE WOMEN INTO PARLIAMENT. IT'S LOOKING AT THE POSSIBILITY OF RUNNING ONLY FEMALE CANDIDATES IN SOME ELECTORATES IN A BID TO HAVE A 50% FEMALE CAUCUS BY 2017. IT'S A MOVE THAT'S ALREADY HAPPENING IN OTHER PARTS OF THE WORLD, AND SOME BELIEVE IT'S LONG OVERDUE HERE. FOR THE LAST FIVE ELECTIONS, THE PERCENTAGE OF WOMEN MPS IN PARLIAMENT HAS NOT INCREASED IN ANY WAY, SHAPE OR FORM. AND THAT'S NOT ACCEPTABLE WHEN WOMEN MAKE UP 51% OF THE POPULATION, TO BE CURRENTLY ONLY ABOUT 32% OF MPS IN PARLIAMENT. DOESN'T SEEM TO BE BACKING THE PLAN, SAYING IT ISN'T THE BEST WAY TO ACHIEVE GREATER REPRESENTATION. IT GOT HEATED IN PARLIAMENT THIS MORNING, WITH WELL-KNOWN ACTIVISTS SPEAKING OUT ABOUT THE GOVERNMENT'S CONTROVERSIAL SPYING BILL. VALERIE MORSE AND ANNEMARIE THORBY USED A NEW TECHNIQUE TO MAKE THEIR POINT. WE HOPE YOU'LL TAKE SOME. SPEAK OUT, BECAUSE WE CAN'T TRUST THE POLITICIANS. THE POLITICIANS AREN'T GOING TO TALK. WE'VE GOT TO RELY ON THE PEOPLE BEHIND IT, RELY ON THE BUREAUCRATS. THEY SAY THE WHISTLES SYMBOLISE WHISTLE-BLOWERS. IT'S THE THIRD AND FINAL DAY OF SUBMISSIONS. IN EGYPT, MEMBERS OF THE MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD, INCLUDING THE OUSTED PRESIDENT, HAVE BEEN DETAINED BY THE MILITARY. WILD CELEBRATIONS ARE CONTINUING WELL INTO THE NIGHT IN TAHRIR SQUARE, FOLLOWING THE SWEARING-IN OF EGYPT'S INTERIM LEADER. HE'S THE COUNTRY'S TOP JUDGE, BUT HE'S KNOWN TO VERY FEW ORDINARY EGYPTIANS. THE BBC'S JEREMY BOWEN REPORTS. THEY PUT ON AN AIRSHOW AS THE SUN WENT DOWN IN TAHRIR SQUARE ON THE FIRST FULL DAY OF MILITARY CONTROL. AIRPLANES DRONE IT WAS A CELEBRATION OF A TAKEOVER THAT WENT SO SMOOTHLY THAT SOME EGYPTIANS BELIEVE THE GENERALS MUST HAVE STARTED WORKING ON THE DETAILS NOT LONG AFTER THE OUSTED PRESIDENT TOOK OFFICE A YEAR AGO. THERE WAS ANOTHER DISPLAY IN THE MORNING. JUST IN CASE ANYONE DIDN'T WHO'S IN CHARGE NOW, TIME TO COINCIDE WITH A PUBLIC REVIVAL OF AN OLD ALLIANCE. THE SECURITY FORCES REIGNED CAIRO'S CONSTITUTIONAL COURT FOR THE SWEARING-IN OF THE NEW PRESIDENT. APPLAUSE ADLI MANSOUR WAS PICKED TO BE INTERIM PRESIDENT BY THE GENERALS, PRESUMABLY BECAUSE HE WILL COOPERATIVE. THE COURT WAS THE MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD'S MOST OBSTRUCTIVE ENEMY. LAST YEAR, AS A JUDGE, MR MANSOUR SCRAPPED A LAW THAT STOPPED FORMER MEMBERS OF THE MUBARAK REGIME STANDING IN ELECTIONS. SEIZING POWER AND PUTTING AN ALLY INTO THE PRESIDENCY MIGHT BE THE EASY BITS FOR THE EGYPTIAN ARMY. THEY HAVE, IF ANYTHING, AN EVEN WORSE INHERITANCE THAN THE ONE THAT MADE PRESIDENT MORSI'S JOB SO HARD. MANY EGYPTIANS WHO SUPPORT DEMOCRACY WILL NOT CALL WHAT'S HAPPENED A MILITARY COUP, EVEN THOUGH SOLDIERS TOOK POWER FROM AN ELECTED PRESIDENT. ACROSS CAIRO, DOZENS OF TOP MUSLIM BROTHERS HAVE BEEN DETAINED. 36 OF THEM, INCLUDING THE FORMER PRESIDENT, HAVE BEEN GIVEN TRAVEL BANS. TWO EGYPTS EXIST NOW ` ONE IS MADE UP OF THE SUPPORTERS OF THE FORMER PRESIDENT, RAGING AND WAITING; FIREWORKS EXPLODE THE OTHER IS CENTRED ON TAHRIR SQUARE AND ON ALL THE EGYPTIANS WHO BELIEVE THAT THEIR COUNTRY AND THEIR REVOLUTION HAS ANOTHER CHANCE. NELSON MANDELA'S FAMILY IS PLAYING DOWN A DOCTOR'S REPORT THAT CLAIMS THEY'VE BEEN ADVISED TO SWITCH HIS LIFE SUPPORT OFF. THE REPORT SAYS THE FORMER SOUTH AFRICAN PRESIDENT IS IN A PERMANENT VEGETATIVE STATE AND WON'T RECOVER. BUT HIS WIFE, GRACA MICHEL, IS URGING PEOPLE NOT TO GIVE UP HOPE. THOUGH MADIBA SOMETIMES MAY BE... UNCOMFORTABLE, VERY FEW TIMES HE IS IN PAIN. BUT HE IS FINE. I THINK THE BEST GIFT WHICH HE HAS GIVEN TO THIS NATION, AGAIN, IS THE GIFT OF UNITY. THE 94-YEAR-OLD'S CONDITION IS STILL BEING OFFICIALLY DESCRIBED AS 'CRITICAL BUT STABLE'. THE COMMENTS COME AMIDST BITTER INFIGHTING WITHIN THE MANDELA FAMILY ABOUT BURIAL SITES WHICH HAS SEEN THREE OF NELSON MANDELA'S CHILDREN RE-BURIED FOLLOWING A JUDGE'S RULING. AS THE BBC'S GABRIEL GATEHOUSE REPORTS, IT'S AN EMBARRASSING INSIGHT INTO THE MANDELA EXTENDED FAMILY DURING WHAT MANY BELIEVE SHOULD BE A DIGNIFIED TIME. THE MAN AT THE CENTRE OF A BITTER FAMILY FEUD. NELSON MANDELA IS NOT DEAD YET, BUT ALREADY HIS GRANDSON MANDLA IS FIGHTING OTHER MEMBERS OF THE EXTENDED MANDELA FAMILY FOR CONTROL OF HIS GRAVE. TODAY THE BODIES OF THREE OF MR MANDELA'S CHILDREN WERE RE-BURIED IN THE VILLAGE WHERE NELSON MANDELA GREW UP. THEIR REMAINS WERE EXHUMED AFTER A COURT RULED THAT MANDLA MANDELA HAD MOVED THE BODIES TO A GRAVESITE ON HIS OWN ESTATE NEARBY TWO YEARS AGO WITHOUT PROPER CONSULTATION. MANDLA, THE ELDEST GRANDSON AND HEAD OF THE MANDELA CLAN, SAID THIS WAS NOTHING SHORT OF AN ATTEMPT TO USURP HIM AS NELSON MANDELA'S RIGHTFUL HEIR. AT THE MOMENT, IT SEEMS LIKE ANYONE AND EVERYONE CAN COME AND SAY 'I AM A MANDELA,' AND DEMAND TO BE PART OF A DECISION-MAKING IN THIS FAMILY. NELSON MANDELA HAS SAID HE WANTS TO BE BURIED AT HIS HOME NEXT TO HIS CHILDREN. HOME IS QUNU, WHERE HE GREW UP. BUT IT WAS IN NEARBY MVEZO THAT HE WAS BORN, AND WHERE MANDLA HAS BEEN CREATING A SHRINE TO THE ANTI-APARTHEID LEADER. WOMEN SING AS WELL-WISHERS CONTINUE TO GATHER OUTSIDE THE HOSPITAL IN PRETORIA, THIS MANDELA FAMILY FEUD HAS, FOR MANY, BEEN AN UNCOMFORTABLE SPECTACLE. BRITISH POLICE HAVE LAUNCHED A FRESH INVESTIGATION INTO THE DISAPPEARANCE OF MADELEINE MCCANN SIX YEARS AGO, SAYING THERE'S A CHANCE SHE'S STILL ALIVE. THE LITTLE GIRL WENT MISSING WHILE ON HOLIDAY IN PORTUGAL WHEN SHE WAS 3. NOW POLICE SAY THEY HAVE NEW EVIDENCE, NEW WITNESSES AND 38 'PERSONS OF INTEREST'. HERE'S THE BBC'S RICHARD BILTON. IT IS A GRIM MYSTERY THAT STILL HOLDS A NATION ` WHAT HAPPENED TO MADELEINE MCCANN? SINCE THE NIGHT SHE DISAPPEARED MORE THAN SIX YEARS AGO, THERE HAVE BEEN PRECIOUS FEW CLUES. BUT A BRITISH POLICE REVIEW OF THE EVIDENCE THINKS THERE'S A CHANCE TO SOLVE THE CASE. MADELEINE MCCANN WAS NEARLY 4 WHEN SHE VANISHED FROM A HOLIDAY APARTMENT PRAIA DA LUZ IN PORTUGAL IN MAY 2007. FOUR MONTHS AFTER SHE DISAPPEARED, HER PARENTS, KATE AND GERRY MCCANN, WERE NAMED AS SUSPECTS, OR ARGUIDOS. THAT STATUS WAS LATER DROPPED, AND PORTUGUESE PROSECUTORS SAID THEY HAD NO CASE TO ANSWER. THE FAMILY CAMPAIGNED FOR A BRITISH REVIEW OF THE EVIDENCE. AND IN 2011, THE PRIME MINISTER, DAVID CAMERON, ASKED THE METROPOLITAN POLICE TO GET INVOLVED. THE REVIEW HAS INVOLVED 37 OFFICERS FOR TWO YEARS. IT'S GENERATED NEARLY 4000 NEW LINES OF INQUIRY, AND CRUCIALLY HAS IDENTIFIED 38 SO-CALLED 'PERSONS OF INTEREST'. THIS OPERATION, WHICH HAS ALREADY COST SEVERAL MILLION POUNDS, IS BEING FUNDED DIRECTLY BY THE HOME OFFICE. TODAY, MADELEINE MCCANN'S PARENTS SAID THEY WELCOMED THE SHIFT FROM REVIEW TO INVESTIGATION, WHICH THEY HOPE WILL BE A BIG STEP TOWARDS BRINGING WHOEVER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR MADELEINE'S ABDUCTION TO JUSTICE. NEW YORK'S FAMOUS STATUE OF LIBERTY HAS REOPENED IN TIME FOR AMERICA'S INDEPENDENCE DAY CELEBRATIONS, AFTER THE ISLAND IT STANDS ON WAS SWAMPED BY SUPERSTORM SANDY NINE MONTHS AGO. TOURISTS LINED UP FOR BLOCKS FOR A SEAT ON THE BOAT TO VISIT THE STATUE. SCIENTISTS IN JAPAN HAVE USED STEM CELL TECHNOLOGY TO SUCCESSFULLY GROW A HUMAN LIVER FROM SKIN CELLS. THE ACHIEVEMENT IS A MAJOR BREAKTHROUGH THAT COULD EVENTUALLY SAVE THE LIVES OF TRANSPLANT PATIENTS. HERE'S CHANNEL NINE'S GABRIELLA ROGERS. 4-YEAR-OLD AYDEN BIRD'S JAUNDICED SKIN AND SWOLLEN BELLY ARE SIGNS OF HIS CHRONIC LIVER DISEASE. HE URGENTLY NEEDS A LIVER TRANSPLANT. EVERY TIME I THINK ABOUT... THE DAY HE WAS DIAGNOSED, IT JUST, SORT OF, REALLY HITS. HE WON'T SURVIVE, YEAH, WITHOUT A LIVER TRANSPLANT. WHICH IS WHY THE LATEST DISCOVERY BY JAPANESE RESEARCHERS IS SO IMPORTANT. RESEARCHERS HAVE SHOWN FOR THE FIRST TIME THAT YOU CAN GROW A LIVER, A HUMAN LIVER, FROM SCRATCH. RESEARCHERS REPROGRAMMED A PATIENT'S OWN SKIN CELLS USING NOBEL PRIZE-WINNING STEM-CELL TECHNOLOGY. THOSE CELLS AND OTHERS WERE GROWN IN A PETRI DISH TO CREATE LIVER BUDS, WHICH WERE THEN TRANSPLANTED INTO A MOUSE. THEY WERE ABLE TO CURE A MOUSE THAT HAD LIVER FAILURE BY TRANSPLANTING THE HUMAN LIVER CELLS. EXPERTS SAY EXPERIMENTS NEED TO BE DONE ON LARGER ANIMALS, AND THE LONG-TERM SAFETY OF THESE TRANSPLANTS NEED TO BE DEMONSTRATED BEFORE HUMAN TRIALS ARE CARRIED OUT. THAT'S TOO LATE FOR SICK PATIENTS LIKE AYDEN. HIS MUM OFFERED TO DONATE A PART OF HER LIVER, BUT HER BLOOD TYPE WASN'T COMPATIBLE. THOUSANDS OF PRIMARY SCHOOL STUDENTS FROM AROUND WELLINGTON HAVE TAKEN TO THE STREETS THIS MORNING AS PART OF NATIONAL ORANGE DAY. THE ANNUAL EVENT SEES STUDENTS DON THEIR FINEST ORANGE OUTFITS AND MARCH FROM PARLIAMENT TO CIVIC SQUARE. THE DAY IS A CHANCE TO CELEBRATE THE WORK DONE BY SCHOOL PATROLS TO IMPROVE ROAD SAFETY AROUND OUR SCHOOLS. STILL TO COME ON MIDDAY ` THE LATEST FROM THE MARKETS. AND WHY NZ'S BEST NETBALL FRANCHISE WILL SOON HAVE AN AUSTRALIAN IN THEIR MIDST. 1 WITH ME NOW IS ROGER COULTER FROM CRAIGS INVESTMENT PARTNERS. GOOD AFTERNOON, ROGER. THIS ITEM WILL BE CAPTIONED LIVE. FOR MORE, GO TO ONENEWS.CO.NZ AND CLICK ON 'BUSINESS'. THE US MIGHT BE LOOKING AT 'TAPERING' ECONOMIC SUPPORT, BUT THE UK AND EUROPE ` NOT SO MUCH. RISING INTEREST RATE ENVIRONMENT ISN'T APPRORIATE AS SAID BY THE BANK OF ENGLAND EURPOEAN MARKETS TOOK IT WELL WITH A MINOR SURGE KEY DATA OUT IN THE US TONIGHT. WHAT CAN WE EXPECT? SURGE IN NZ DOLLAR RELATIVE TO THEH POUND AND THE US DOLLAR AS WELL ANOTHER REMINDER WE SHDOULN'T BE TAKING LOW INTERESTS FOR GRANTED ESPECIALLY IN ZN ON HIS TROUBLESOME ACHILLES WHICH HAS SIDELINED HIM FOR MOST OF THE YEAR. HIS REHABILITATION WILL TAKE THREE TO SIX MONTHS, AND THEN HE WILL ASSESS WHETHER HIS BODY IS UP TO THE RIGOURS OF A RETURN TO THE GAME. NZ'S BEST NETBALL FRANCHISE HAS HIRED A VETERAN AUSTRALIAN AS ITS NEW COACH TO REPLACE RETIRING NOELINE TAURUA. FORMER AUSTRALIAN ASSISTANT COACH JULIE FITZGERALD HAS BEEN SIGNED ON A TWO-YEAR DEAL BY THE WAIKATO-BAY OF PLENTY MAGIC. FITZGERALD ENJOYED PLENTY OF SUCCESS WITH THE SYDNEY SWIFTS AND WAS NAMED AUSTRALIAN NETBALL COACH OF THE YEAR FOUR TIMES. TO TENNIS NOW, AND IT'S A WIMBLEDON WOMEN'S FINAL NO ONE WOULD HAVE PREDICTED STARRING TWO PLAYERS WHO ARE REGULARS ON NZ COURTS. GERMAN 23RD SEED SABINE LISICKI IS ON THE CUSP OF WINNING HER FIRST GRAND SLAM TITLE, EDGING OUT FOURTH SEED AGNIESZKA RADWANSKA IN THE SEMIS. SHE'LL FACE FRENCHWOMAN MARION BARTOLI IN THE FINAL, WHO ALSO HASN'T WON A TITLE. THE BBC'S ANDY SWISS REPORTS. SHE IS THE NEW SMILING STAR OF CENTRE COURT ` SABINE LISICKI, CROWD FAVOURITE AND NOW WIMBLEDON FINALIST. WITH AGNIESZKA RADWANSKA, SHE PRODUCED ONE OF THE MATCHES OF THE CHAMPIONSHIPS. LISICKI, WHO KNOCKED OUT SERENA WILLIAMS, ULTIMATELY EDGED AN EPIC DECIDING SET 9-7. CROWD CHEERS FOR HER FANS, HER FAMILY, AND ABOVE ALL, LISICKI HERSELF, THE MOST EMOTIONAL OF VICTORIES. WIMBLEDON IS MY FAVOURITE TOURNAMENT. I LOVE IT SO MUCH, AND I LOVE BEING IN ENGLAND, AND IT'S` I DON'T KNOW, IT'S JUST MY FAVOURITE TOURNAMENT, AND I CANNOT BELIEVE I'M IN THE FINAL. EARLIER, KIRSTEN FLIPKENS' WIMBLEDON FAIRY TALE CAME TO AN END. BARELY A YEAR AGO, SHE WAS DIAGNOSED WITH LIFE-THREATENING BLOOD CLOTS. BUT SHE COULDN'T CONTINUE HER REMARKABLE PROGRESS HERE, SMASHED BY MARION BARTOLI. CROWD APPLAUDS TOMORROW, OF COURSE, ALL EYES WILL ONCE AGAIN TURN TO THIS MAN. ANDY MURRAY'S BEEN OUT ON THE PRACTICE COURTS, PREPARING FOR HIS FIFTH WIMBLEDON SEMI-FINAL, BUT SURELY NEVER HAVE EXPECTATIONS BEEN SO HIGH. MURRAY, WHO FACES POLAND'S JERZY JANOWICZ, SEEMED RELAXED AS HE SIGNED AUTOGRAPHS, BUT TOMORROW, A NATION'S HOPES WILL REST ON HIS RIGHT HAND. THERE'S BEEN SUCCESS FOR KIWI GREG HENDERSON'S TEAM IN THE SIXTH STAGE OF THE TOUR DE FRANCE. HE HAS HELPED LOTTO-BELISOL TEAM-MATE ANDRE GREIPEL WIN THE SPRINT STAGE AHEAD OF SLOVAK PETER SAGAN IN A BLAZING RACE TO THE FINISH, WHILE BRITAIN'S MARK CAVENDISH COULDN'T RECOVER FROM AN EARLIER CRASH, COMING IN FOURTH, AND SOUTH AFRICAN DARYL IMPEY MAKES TOUR HISTORY BY BECOMING THE FIRST AFRICAN TO WEAR THE YELLOW RACE LEADER'S JERSEY.
