DUE TO THE LIVE NATURE OF MIDDAY, WE APOLOGISE FOR THE LACK OF CAPTIONS FOR SOME ITEMS. ONE OF HONE HARAWIRA'S NEPHEWS IS JAILED FOR A DRUNKEN ATTACK ON A SCHOOLBOY. COULD EGYPT BE ON THE BRINK OF ANOTHER POLITICAL REVOLUTION? MILLIONS OF PEOPLE TAKE TO THE STREETS TO DEMAND THE PRESIDENT'S RESIGNATION. AND IT'S DOUBLE GLORY FOR NZ SEVENS TEAMS AT THE WORLD CUP IN MOSCOW. ONE OF MP HONE HARAWIRA'S NEPHEWS HAS BEEN JAILED TODAY FOR A DRUNKEN ATTACK ON A 12-YEAR-OLD BOY. MAU HARAWIRA HAS BEEN JAILED FOR THREE YEARS AND TWO MONTHS AFTER HE AND ANOTHER MAN FOLLOWED A SCHOOLBOY HOME FROM THE BLOCKHOUSE BAY RESERVE AND BEAT HIM AND ROBBED HIM. IT INVOLVED TWO VERY LARGE, STRONG MEN. IT INVOLVED A VICTIM WHO WAS VULNERABLE ` HE HAD HIS BACK TO YOU WHEN YOU CAME INTO THE ROOM. AND IT INVOLVED A HOME INVASION ` THESE ARE SERIOUS ASPECTS OF THE OFFENDING. THE BOY WAS TAKEN TO HOSPITAL, BUT DIDN'T SUFFER SERIOUS INJURIES. THE VICTIM'S FAMILY SAY THEY DIDN'T WANT HARAWIRA TO GO TO JAIL, BUT TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR HIS ACTIONS. PRIME MINISTER JOHN KEY SAYS THE MAORI PARTY IS STILL A VIABLE COALITION PARTNER, DESPITE WHISPERS OF A POSSIBLE MAORI-MANA PARTY ALLIANCE. IT COMES AFTER LABOUR'S MEKA WHAITIRI WON THE IKAROA-RAWHITI BY-ELECTION, THOUGH THE MAORI AND MANA PARTY GATHERED ENOUGH VOTES BETWEEN THEM TO HAVE WON THE SEAT. JOHN KEY SAYS HE'S STILL NOT KEEN ON WELCOMING HONE HARAWIRA BACK INTO THE FOLD. YOU KNOW, HONE'S MADE A LOT OF STATEMENTS HE DOESN'T WANNA COME WITH NATIONAL, AND A LOT OF THE THINGS HE TALKED ABOUT, WE WOULDN'T SUPPORT ANYWAY. HE INITIALLY ACTUALLY WANTED TO COME WITH NATIONAL ` THAT'S THE, SORT OF, UNSPOKEN BUT TRUTHFUL STATEMENT. HE ACTUALLY WANTED TO BE A MINISTER IN THE GOVERNMENT, LET ALONE, YOU KNOW, COME WITH THE GOVERNMENT. BUT, YOU KNOW, THOSE DAYS ARE KIND OF OVER, SO, YOU KNOW, FAIR ENOUGH, THAT'S THE WAY IT IS. BUT, YOU KNOW, I MEAN, LOOK, WHAT I'D SAY IS WE'RE GONNA HAVE AN ELECTION NEXT YEAR, WE'RE GONNA GO OUT THERE AND TRY AND GET THE MAXIMUM VOTE WE CAN FOR NATIONAL. IN THE END, IF PEOPLE WANNA GET US OVER THE LINE AND BACK US AS THE GOVERNMENT, WELL, THEY'RE GONNA VOTE FOR US, BUT THE POLLS SORT OF INDICATE THAT THERE'S A LOT OF SUPPORT THERE, AND THERE IS A WAY OF SORT OF WORKING THOSE THINGS OUT. THERE'S LOTS OF DIFFERENT COMBINATIONS. PRIME MINISTER JOHN KEY. AND MAORI PARTY CO-LEADER PITA SHARPLES SAYS THE PARTY WILL DISCUSS ITS OPTIONS AT THIS MONTH'S AGM. A MAN IS IN CUSTODY FOLLOWING AN OVERNIGHT STAND-OFF WITH THE ARMED OFFENDERS SQUAD IN TAUPO. POLICE WERE CALLED TO A HOUSE FOLLOWING REPORTS OF A DOMESTIC ASSAULT, AND EVENTS ESCALATED WHEN THEY WERE TOLD A MAN INSIDE WAS ARMED. NEGOTIATIONS WITH THE MAN CONTINUED THROUGH THE NIGHT, AND THE STAND-OFF ENDED WHEN HE WALKED OUT OF THE HOUSE THIS MORNING AND WAS ARRESTED WITHOUT INCIDENT. THE MAN FACES A NUMBER OF FIREARMS CHARGES. MOTORISTS ARE PAYING 3C A LITRE MORE FOR THEIR PETROL FROM TODAY AS THE PRICE CREEPS UP AGAIN TOWARDS A RECORD HIGH. THE LATEST JUMP IS DUE TO AN INCREASE IN PETROL TAX, PUTTING THE PRICE OF A LITRE OF 91 AT JUST UNDER $2.19 IN MOST PLACES. THE GOVERNMENT SAYS THE TAX HIKE'S NEEDED TO FUND NEW ROADING PROJECTS. THE MOTOR TRADE ASSOCIATION SAYS IT'S A FAIR AND SIMPLE WAY TO FUND INFRASTRUCTURE, BUT IT MIGHT PUT PEOPLE OFF DRIVING. PEOPLE HAVE SAID, 'WHY ARE WE HAVING TO INCREASE TAXES?' THE REALITY IS NZERS ARE DRIVING SLIGHTLY LESS EACH YEAR, AND CARS ARE BECOMING MORE FUEL EFFICIENT. SO IT'S A BIT OF A DOUBLE BIND FOR THE GOVERNMENT ` THEY HAVE TO BUILD MORE ROADS, THEY HAVE TO CREATE AND MAINTAIN A BETTER ROADING STRUCTURE, BUT THEIR TAX BASE IS DECLINING BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE GETTING MORE CAREFUL WHEN THEY DRIVE, AND THE CARS THEY DO DRIVE GET FURTHER ON A LITRE OF PETROL. SO GOVERNMENT'S GOTTA FIND THE MONEY SOMEWHERE. IAN STRONACH FROM THE MOTOR TRADE ASSOCIATION. THE TAX COMPONENT IN THE PETROL PRICE IS NOW CLOSE TO 50%. THE HIGHEST PETROL'S EVER BEEN WAS $2.22 A LITRE IN 2011. THE CHRISTCHURCH CITY COUNCIL HAS MADE HISTORY TODAY ` LOSING ITS RIGHT TO ISSUE BUILDING CONSENTS FOLLOWING AN AUDIT BY INTERNATIONAL ACCREDITATION NZ. ONE NEWS REPORTER MIKE THORPE JOINS US NOW LIVE FROM CHRISTCHURCH. Mayor Bob Parker later today as well as Gerry Brownlee after 2.30. We will have details at six o'clock. THANKS MIKE THORPE, LIVE FROM CHRISTCHURCH. A CHRISTCHURCH SCHOOL HAS LODGED PAPERS AT THE HIGH COURT CALLING FOR AN URGENT HEARING ON WHAT IT SAYS IS A STRONG CASE TO REMAIN OPEN. PHILLIPSTOWN SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS ARE SEEKING A JUDICIAL REVIEW OF AN IMMINENT MERGER WITH NEARBY WOOLSTON SCHOOL, CLAIMING THE DECISION IS ILLEGAL AND IN BREACH OF THE EDUCATION ACT. THEY BELIEVE MINISTER OF EDUCATION HEKIA PARATA WAS INFLUENCED BY MISINFORMATION WHEN MAKING HER DECISION. I THINK IT RELATES TO THE INFORMATION THAT'S BOTH MISSING OR IRRELEVANT, MISLEADING, AND IT REALLY FOCUSES ON A FLAWED PROCESS. DOZENS OF OTHER SCHOOLS IN CHRISTCHURCH ARE ALSO SET TO CLOSE OR MERGE NEXT YEAR BECAUSE OF POPULATION SHIFTS IN THE AREA. THE HEAD OF AUCKLAND MAYOR LEN BROWN'S PACIFIC ADVISORY GROUP HAS ANNOUNCED HE'S STANDING AGAINST HIM AT THE COUNCIL ELECTIONS IN OCTOBER. UESIFILI UNASA SAYS PACIFIC PEOPLE HAVE NOT BEEN WELL SERVED BY THE CURRENT COUNCIL. HE SAYS WHILE HE SUPPORTS BIG PROJECTS, HE IS DISAPPOINTED THAT PROFIT-MAKING HAS BEEN PUT AHEAD OF PEOPLE. SO FOR ME, THE ISSUES AROUND GOOD ECONOMICS, JOBS, WELL-PAID JOBS, SAFETY OF COMMUNITY, RESILIENT COMMUNITIES ` THOSE ARE THE ISSUES THAT I BELIEVE WE NEED TO PUT TO THE FOREFRONT. MR UNASA SAYS THESE ARE ISSUES WHICH AFFECT ALL OF AUCKLAND, NOT ONE PARTICULAR ETHNIC GROUP. AS WE GO TO AIR, EGYPT IS IN THE GRIP OF ANOTHER POLITICAL CRISIS, WITH MILLIONS OF DEMONSTRATORS CALLING FOR THE IMMEDIATE RESIGNATION OF THE PRESIDENT. IT COMES ONE YEAR ON FROM MOHAMMED MORSI TAKING OFFICE AS THE COUNTRY'S FIRST FREELY ELECTED LEADER. THESE LIVE PICTURES SHOW THE HUGE CROWD GATHERED IN TAHRIR SQUARE RIGHT NOW. IT'S JUST AFTER 2 IN THE MORNING IN CAIRO. THIS IS ESTIMATED TO BE THE BIGGEST CROWD SINCE THE EGYPTIAN REVOLUTION TWO YEARS AGO. THE BBC'S JEREMY BOWEN REPORTS FROM CAIRO. A WOODEN SANDAL WAS ONCE USED TO BEAT AN EGYPTIAN RULER TO DEATH. IT'S AN OLD STORY THAT EVERYONE HERE KNOWS, INCLUDING PRESIDENT MORSI. A YEAR AFTER HIS ELECTION VICTORY, EGYPT IS IN DEEP CRISIS, THE WORST ITS FACED SINCE PRESIDENT MUBARAK WAS OVERTHROWN NEARLY TWO-AND-A-HALF YEARS AGO. HOPES OF A BETTER FUTURE WERE SKY HIGH BACK THEN, NEVER REALISTIC GIVEN EGYPT'S ECONOMIC PROBLEMS AND ITS POLITICAL DIVISIONS. BECAUSE HE'S A FASCIST. WE HAVE GOTTEN RID OF A DICTATORSHIP THAT LASTED FOR 60 YEARS; NOW WE HAVE TO GET RID OF A NEW FASCIST THAT HAS LASTED FOR ONE YEAR. THE EGYPTIAN PEOPLE ARE NOT GOING TO ACCEPT THIS ANY MORE. EGYPT IS GOING DOWN THE DRAIN. WHAT MAKES THIS DAY SO DANGEROUS IS THAT TENS OF THOUSANDS OF THE PRESIDENT'S SUPPORTERS ARE ON THE STREETS AT THE SAME TIME AS THOSE WHO BELIEVE HE SHOULD GO NOW. HIS SUPPORTERS SAY THAT HE'S DOING HIS BEST WITH A ROTTEN INHERITANCE AND THAT EGYPT CANNOT THROW OUT THE RESULT OF A FREE ELECTION AFTER ONLY 12 MONTHS. THE CHARGE AGAINST THE PRESIDENT IS THAT HE'S MADE A BAD SITUATION WORSE, GOVERNING AS IF HE HAD AN OVERWHELMING ELECTORAL MANDATE WHICH HE DIDN'T GET A YEAR AGO. MANY EGYPTIANS, INCLUDING PIOUS MUSLIMS, WORRY THAT AFTER YEARS AS A BANNED ORGANISATION, THE MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD IN POWER IS DOING ALL IT CAN TO CHANGE EGYPT POLITICALLY AND SOCIALLY, BY MAKING THE COUNTRY MORE OVERTLY ISLAMIC. ONE BIG QUESTION IS WHAT THE ARMY WILL DO. THE MINISTRY OF DEFENCE HAS WARNED THAT THE MILITARY MIGHT INTERVENE IF EGYPT BECAME UNGOVERNABLE. US PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA HAS MADE AN EMOTIONAL VISIT TO ROBBEN ISLAND, WHERE NELSON MANDELA SPENT 18 OF HIS 27 YEARS BEHIND BARS. MR OBAMA SAID HE WAS DEEPLY HUMBLED TO BE THERE, WRITING IN THE VISITORS' BOOK THAT THE WORLD IS 'GRATEFUL FOR THE HEROES OF ROBBEN ISLAND'. NELSON MANDELA REMAINS CRITICALLY ILL IN HOSPITAL. THE ABC'S JONATHAN KARL REPORTS. 5 MILES OFF THE COAST OF SOUTH AFRICA, ROBBEN ISLAND IS A PLACE WITH A GRIM, CRUEL HISTORY. WITH A FORMER INMATE AS THEIR GUIDE, THE OBAMA FAMILY TOURED THE OLD PRISON THAT CONFINED NELSON MANDELA AND OTHERS WHO DARED TO FIGHT AGAINST APARTHEID. THEY VIEWED THE QUARRY WHERE THE PRISONERS WERE FORCED TO LABOUR, ENDLESSLY BREAKING BIG STONES INTO SMALL ONES. SILENTLY THE PRESIDENT STEPPED INSIDE THE CELL, ABOUT THE SIZE OF A BROOM CLOSET, WHERE MANDELA SPENT 18 YEARS OF HIS LIFE. DURING THOSE YEARS A YOUNG WHITE GUARD WAS ASSIGNED TO MANDELA, AND THE TWO WOULD BECOME UNLIKELY FRIENDS. YEARS LATER, THAT FORMER GUARD TALKED TO ABC'S DAVID MUIR, REMEMBERING THE TIME MANDELA'S WIFE, WINNIE, VISITED WITH THEIR NEW GRANDBABY. NO CHILDREN ALLOWED, NOT EVEN MANDELA'S PRECIOUS NEW GRANDBABY. WHAT WINNIE MANDELA DIDN'T KNOW WAS THAT WHILE SHE WAITED IN A HOLDING AREA, THE JAILER HAD SECRETLY BROUGHT THE BABY TO SEE MANDELA. AND NO ONE EVER KNEW? NOBODY KNEW. NOW, WITH AN ONGOING VIGIL OUTSIDE HIS HOSPITAL, MANDELA CLINGS TO LIFE. OBAMA HAS SPOKEN OF HIM AT EVERY STOP. NELSON MANDELA SHOWED US THAT ONE MAN'S COURAGE CAN MOVE THE WORLD. AND HE CALLS ON US TO MAKE CHOICES THAT REFLECT NOT OUR FEARS, BUT OUR HOPES. ALTHOUGH PRESIDENT OBAMA DID NOT GET TO SEE MANDELA, HE DID RECEIVE A WARM WELCOME FROM ANOTHER AGEING HERO OF THE ANTI-APARTHEID MOVEMENT, BISHOP DESMOND TUTU. YOUR SUCCESS IS OUR SUCCESS. YOUR FAILURE, WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT, IS OUR FAILURE. WE PRAY FOR YOU TO BE A GREAT SUCCESS. TENS OF THOUSANDS OF FANS AT THE FAMED GLASTONBURY MUSIC FESTIVAL IN ENGLAND HAVE HAD A RARE TREAT, WITH A ONE-OFF CONCERT BY THE ROLLING STONES. THE BBC'S LIZO MZIMBA HAS MORE. FOR MANY, THIS NEVER LIKELY TO BE REPEATED APPEARANCE BY THE STONES WAS NOTHING LESS THAN SPECTACULAR. # ALL RIGHT. # JUMPIN' JACK FLASH IS A GAS, GAS, GAS. # AFTER ALL THESE YEARS... FOR THE FESTIVAL'S FOUNDER, HIS HIGHLIGHT WAS BEING THANKED PERSONALLY ON STAGE BY SIR MICK JAGGER. THANK YOU, MICHAEL. HE'S WANTED TO BOOK THE BAND FOR YEARS. < HOW DO THEY RANK AMONGST THE 43 YEARS OF ACTS YOU'VE HAD HERE < AT GLASTONBURY? THE WHOLE THING HAS TO BE THE BEST MOMENT, WITHOUT A SHADOW OF A DOUBT. THE WHOLE RAZZMATAZZ OF THE WHOLE OCCASION, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? # ISLANDS IN THE STREAM, # THAT IS WHAT WE ARE. # AT THE OTHER END OF THE MUSICAL SPECTRUM, ONE OF THE MOST TALKED-ABOUT ACTS ON THIS FINAL DAY WAS COUNTRY STAR KENNY ROGERS. HE'S PLAYED ALL OVER THE WORLD, BUT SAYS GLASTONBURY IS SPECIAL. I THINK THAT THERE'S NO QUESTION. YOU HAVE TO LOOK AT THE PEOPLE WHO'VE BEEN HERE, LOOK AT THE PEOPLE WHO ARE HERE EVEN THIS YEAR, AND IT'S A VERY SPECIAL PLACE TO BE. AND I'M THRILLED TO BE HERE. I HOPE I CAN PULL MY WEIGHT WITH THE AUDIENCE. I HOPE THEY WILL ENJOY IT. AND THE STAGE IS NOW SET FOR THE FINAL FEW HOURS OF GLASTONBURY 2013, BEFORE THE FESTIVAL ` WIDELY REGARDED AS A BIG SUCCESS ` CLOSES FOR ANOTHER YEAR. MAUREEN WAAKA, THE FIRST MAORI WOMAN TO BE CROWNED MISS NZ, HAS DIED. THE FORMER RADIOGRAPHER, WHO WON MISS NZ AS MAUREEN KINGI IN 1962, PASSED AWAY IN ROTORUA HOSPITAL TODAY AFTER SUFFERING A STROKE LAST MONTH. MAUREEN WAAKA WAS A LONG-STANDING ROTORUA DISTRICT COUNCIL MEMBER. IN 2001 SHE RECEIVED THE NZ ORDER OF MERIT FOR SERVICES TO TOURISM AND THE COMMUNITY.

HAMILTON RECOVERED TO FINISH FOURTH, BUT IT WAS TEAMMATE ROSBERG WHO EDGED TO VICTORY. CREW: YES! GREAT JOB, GREAT JOB, NICO. EXCELLENT JOB. WELL DONE, MATE. NICO: WHOO-HOO! YEAH! FERNANDO ALONSO BOOSTED HIS OVERALL TITLE HOPES BY FINISHING THIRD, JUST IN FRONT OF MARK WEBBER. THE WARRIORS HAVE WON FIVE STRAIGHT, BUT TO BREAK INTO THE NRL TOP EIGHT THEY MUST DO WHAT ONLY TWO TEAMS HAVE MANAGED THIS SEASON ` BEAT THE TABLE-TOPPING RABBITOHS. THE AUCKLAND CLUB CLIMBED TO 10TH ON THE LADDER, JUST TWO POINTS OFF FIFTH PLACE, AFTER LAST NIGHT'S THRILLING 18-16 WIN OVER THE BRONCOS AT MT SMART. INTERCEPT! INTERCEPT FOR HURRELL! NOW HE'S OFF!
