GOOD EVENING. FRONTAL RAIN OR SHOWERS FOR THE WEST AND SOUTH OF THE SOUTH ISLAND TODAY. OVER 20MM FOR MANAPOURI AND MILFORD SOUND. IT WAS VERY WARM AHEAD OF THAT FRONT IN THE EAST. AND THEN A FINE SUNDAY ON THE WAY FOR MOST OF US. BUT I'LL ALSO TELL YOU WHO GETS SOME EARLY DRIZZLE OR AFTERNOON SHOWERS. RIGHT NOW, IT'S 6 O'CLOCK. ALL CHANT: FIVE, SIX, SEVEN, EIGHT, NO MORE VIOLENCE, NO MORE RAPE. THOUSANDS ACROSS THE COUNTRY MARCH TO PROTEST AGAINST THE ROAST BUSTERS AND A PERCEIVED RAPE CULTURE. THE KEY TO A KILLING ` WELLINGTON POLICE'S NEW EFFORTS TO FIND THIS WOMAN'S MURDERER. SEE THE TROUBLE WHEN THE RACING LEAVES THE TRACK AND HITS THE ROAD. AND HOLY BATKID! THE PINT-SIZED SUPERHERO. AN ENTIRE CITY COMES TOGETHER TO MAKE ONE BOY'S WISH COME TRUE. THOUSANDS OF PROTESTERS CONCERNED ABOUT SEXUAL VIOLENCE THOUSANDS OF PROTESTERS CONCERNED ABOUT SEXUAL VIOLENCE HIT THE STREETS TO VENT THEIR ANGER IN THE WAKE OF THE ROAST BUSTERS SEX SCANDAL. MARCHES WERE HELD ACROSS THE COUNTRY, DEMANDING AN END TO RAPE AND A CHANGE TO THE WAY VICTIMS OF IT ARE BLAMED. WILL HINE REPORTS. ALL CHANT: WHATEVER WE WEAR, WHEREVER WE GO, 'YES' MEANS YES; 'NO' MEANS NO. THE MESSAGE WAS LOUD AND CLEAR AND VOICED BY CLOSE TO A THOUSAND MARCHERS, MOST OF THEM WOMEN. WOMAN: STAND UP! ALL CHANT: FIGHT BACK. WOMAN: STAND UP. ALL CHANT: FIGHT BACK. THE PROTEST ISN'T JUST ABOUT THE ROAST BUSTERS. FAR FROM IT. IN FACT, THIS GROUP SAYS THE REAL PROBLEM IS ONE OF RAPE CULTURE ` A SYSTEM WHICH ENABLES AND PERMITS SEXUAL ASSAULT. THE ROAST BUSTER CASE JUST HELPED TO PUBLICISE WHAT OFTEN HAPPENS WITH SURVIVORS. WHEN THEY TRY TO GO TO THE POLICE, WHEN THEY GO TO THE COURTS, WHEN THEY TALK ABOUT THEIR STORIES, AND THEY ARE THE ONES WHO FACE PUBLIC SCRUTINY MORESO THAN THE OFFENDERS. QUEEN STREET GROUND TO A HALT AS THE PROTESTERS' CHANTS FILLED THE AIR. ALL CHANT: SURVIVORS UNITED WILL NEVER BE DEFEATED. I JUST THINK IT'S GOOD FOR EVERYONE TO GET HERE AND HAVE THEIR VOICES HEARD AS A GROUP AND DOING IT PEACEFULLY. I THINK IT'S TIME FOR PEOPLE TO STOP SAYING RAPE IS WRONG AND START ACTING LIKE IT'S WRONG AS WELL. AS TEENAGERS, LIKE US, WE FEEL LIKE WE CAN HAVE A VOICE IN THIS AND AN OPINION THAT CAN BE HEARD BY EVERYONE AROUND US, SO IT'S DEFINITELY EMPOWERING. THE MARCH FINISHED WITH A RALLY IN MYERS PARK. WE NEED TO KEEP MARCHING AHEAD AND KEEP PUSHING OUR GOVERNMENT TO CHANGE THE WAY SEXUAL VIOLENCE CRIMES ARE DEALT WITH IN THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM, POLICE SYSTEM AND THROUGHOUT SOCIETY. PROTESTS WERE ALSO HELD IN OTHER CENTRES, INCLUDING THIS ONE IN WELLINGTON. THERE'S A WHOLE THING ABOUT RAPE JOKES AND OBJECTIFYING WOMEN AND GIRLS, AND I JUST THINK THAT THIS IS A REALLY GOOD WAY TO SHOW THAT THAT REALLY NEEDS TO STOP. I AM A VICTIM MYSELF, AND SO IT'S ONLY RIGHT THAT I STAND HERE FOR THE HUMAN RIGHTS THAT ARE INVOLVED. THERE'S NOTHING THAT BREAKS SILENCE LIKE PEOPLE GETTING TOGETHER AND SAYING, 'THIS IS NOT ALL RIGHT.' MORE VOICES DEMANDING CHANGE AND WANTING IT QUICKLY. WOMAN: WHAT DO WE WANT? ALL CHANT: NO RAPE. WOMAN: WHEN DO WE WANT IT? ALL CHANT: NOW. WILL HINE, ONE NEWS. POLICE ARE HOPING A UNIQUE CARVING KNIFE USED IN A WELLINGTON HOMICIDE WILL HELP THEM IDENTIFY THE KILLER. CHINESE NATIONAL MEI FAN WAS MURDERED LAST WEEKEND. HERE'S SARAH BRADLEY WITH THE LATEST ON THE INVESTIGATION. THE MURDER SCENE IS STILL UNDER GUARD. NOW POLICE ARE BACK WHERE MEI FAN (37) WAS BRUTALLY KILLED OVER A WEEK AGO. IN AN UNUSUAL MOVE, THEY'VE REVEALED THE WEAPON USED TO KILL MEI FAN, A 32CM CARVING KNIFE WITH A WOODEN HANDLE AND THE WORD 'CARVER' ON THE BASE. UNDERSTANDING WHERE THE KNIFE HAS COME FROM IS CRITICAL TO IDENTIFYING OUR OFFENDER. THE MOTHER MAY HAVE BEEN DEAD FOR TWO DAYS BEFORE HER BODY WAS DISCOVERED BY A FRIEND. ARMED POLICE SWARMED BRUSSELS STREET IN MIRAMAR AFTER NEIGHBOURS HEARD LOUD SCREAMING. FROM MY UNDERSTANDING THE SCREAMING IS FROM PEOPLE UPON DISCOVERING MEI'S BODY. NEIGHBOURS ARE STILL RATTLED. I'M LOCKING THE HOUSE. I'M SCARED, BECAUSE ALWAYS I'M OPENING THE DOOR, BUT NOW I'M SCARED TO. SHE WAS SUCH A SMALL, PETITE, LITTLE LADY. SOMETHING LIKE THAT IS JUST UNHEARD OF TO HAPPEN IN NZ, YOU KNOW? CHINESE NATIONAL MEI FAN HAD TWO YOUNG CHILDREN BUT WAS ESTRANGED FROM HER KIWI HUSBAND (58) WHOM SHE HAD A PROTECTION ORDER AGAINST. HE WAS ARRESTED FOR BREACHING THAT ORDER BUT RELEASED ON BAIL. POLICE SAY HE IS A PERSON OF INTEREST. IT'S A DISTINCT POSSIBILITY THAT THE OFFENDER WAS KNOWN TO MEI, AND THAT IS A FOCUS OF THE INVESTIGATION TEAM. MEI FAN'S CHILDREN ARE BEING LOOKED AFTER BY FAMILY MEMBERS, AND HER SISTER IS DUE TO ARRIVE FROM CHINA TOMORROW AND WILL BE ASSISTED BY VICTIM SUPPORT. POLICE SAY IDENTIFYING THE KNIFE IS KEY TO THEIR ENQUIRY AND URGE ANYONE WHO RECOGNISES IT TO CONTACT THEM. SARAH BRADLEY, ONE NEWS. FOREIGN MINISTER MURRAY MCCULLY HAS SEEN FIRST-HAND HOW THE TAMILS IN NORTHERN SRI LANKA ARE REBUILDING FOLLOWING THE BRUTAL CIVIL WAR THERE. HIS VISIT TO THE REGION CAME AS ACCUSATIONS OF WAR CRIMES DURING THE CONFLICT DOMINATE THE COMMONWEALTH HEAD OF GOVERNMENT MEETING. POLITICAL EDITOR CORIN DANN IS IN SRI LANKA AND SENT THIS REPORT. FOR THE TAMIL PEOPLE HERE IN JAFFNA, THE VISIT OF A FOREIGN POLITICIAN IS A CHANCE TO LAY BARE PENT UP GRIEVANCES FROM THE WAR. BOTH: WE WANT AN INDEPENDENT INQUIRY! WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT IS A HISTORY HERE OF PEOPLE BEING KILLED AND MANY THOUSANDS. AND THAT TOUCHES VIRTUALLY EVERY FAMILY HERE. THAT'S NOT SOMETHING PEOPLE GET OVER IN A HURRY. THE UN SAYS 40,000 CIVILIANS DIED IN THE FINAL STAGES OF THE TAMIL TIGERS' FAILED WAR FOR INDEPENDENCE WITH THE SRI LANKAN GOVERNMENT, WITH WAR CRIMES ON BOTH SIDES. WE ARE BACKING CALLS FOR A RECONCILIATION PROCESS AND A DEVOLUTION PROCESS. NZ, HOWEVER, UNLIKE THE UK'S DAVID CAMERON, IS NOT PREPARED TO LAMBAST SRI LANKA AND PUSH FOR AN INDEPENDENT WAR CRIMES INQUIRY. THEY DIDN'T RAISE IT LAST NIGHT WHEN WE HAD DRINKS. I JUST SORT OF SAID TO HIM, 'WHERE DO YOU THINK IT'S ALL GOING?' LIKE US, I THINK EVERYBODY IS NOW REALLY FOCUSED ON WHAT'S THE NEXT STEPS GOING FORWARD. FOUR YEARS ON FROM THE WAR, AND LIFE IS STARTING TO RECOVER HERE. A ONCE NOTORIOUS BATTLEFIELD IS NOW A NZ-BACKED DAIRY FARM. THE ANIMALS ARE IN GOOD NICK, SO THEY OBVIOUSLY LOOK AFTER THEM. WE'RE BRINGING THEM UP WITH JERSEYS. THE SRI LANKAN GOVERNMENT IS ALSO GIVING UP SOME POWER IN THE NORTH, WITH PROVINCIAL ELECTIONS HELD IN SEPTEMBER OVERWHELMINGLY WON BY TAMILS. MY POLICY IS TO WIN OVER THE... EVEN THE TERRORISTS. SO WE ARE TRYING TO NEGOTIATE. WE ARE READY TO TALK TO THEM. THE MOVE'S, HOWEVER, NOT ENOUGH TO STOP CRITICISM OF SRI LANKA'S HUMAN RIGHTS RECORD ALL BUT HIJACKING THIS CHOGM MEETING. MURRAY MCCULLY'S VISIT TO THE NORTH SHOWS NZ IS SERIOUS ABOUT RECONCILIATION EFFORTS, ALBEIT FROM A POSITION OF NOT TAKING SIDES. CORIN DANN, ONE NEWS, COLOMBO. A FEW HOURS AFTER MR MCCULLY LEFT THE NORTHERN PROVINCE, PROTESTERS FOUGHT DESPERATELY TO GET CLOSE TO ANOTHER VISITING POLITICIAN. THE BRITISH PRIME MINISTER'S CONVOY WAS MOBBED BY TAMIL DEMONSTRATORS ASKING FOR HIS HELP AND TRYING TO GIVE HIM PHOTOS OF RELATIVES MISSING SINCE THE COUNTRY'S CIVIL WAR. DAVID CAMERON IS THE FIRST FOREIGN LEADER TO VISIT JAFFNA FOR MORE THAN 60 YEARS. A WEEK AFTER TYPHOON HAIYAN TORE THROUGH THE PHILIPPINES, AID WORKERS ARE STRUGGLING TO REACH MANY OF THOSE AFFECTED. CONFLICTING DEATH TOLLS HAVE BEEN RELEASED. THE LATEST IS OVER 3500, BUT THE RED CROSS ESTIMATES OVER 25,000 ARE MISSING. THE UN CHILDREN'S AGENCY, UNICEF, SAYS IT'S WORRIED ABOUT NEARLY FIVE MILLION CHILDREN WHO ARE IN THE DISASTER ZONE. BBC CORRESPONDENT JEREMY COOKE CHECKS OUT A SCHOOL IN THE STRICKEN CITY OF TACLOBAN. THE WATERS ARE CALM OFF TACLOBAN TODAY. THE CHILDREN PLAY IN PEACE. BUT, JUST METRES AWAY, THE REALITY ` THEIR HOMES DESTROYED BY THE RAGING STORM AND GIANT WAVES THAT STRUCK HERE A WEEK AGO. THEIR YOUNG LIVES CHANGED FOREVER. AIKA WAS BADLY INJURED AS SHE SWAM FOR HER LIFE. A GASH IN HER HEAD NOW BECOMING INFECTED, SHE LIES IN THE FILTH OF A RUINED HOSPITAL, WHILE HER PARENTS WAIT FOR SOMEONE ` ANYONE ` TO HELP. AMID THE RUIN AND THE CHAOS AND THE CONFUSION, TENS OF THOUSANDS OF CHILDREN IN THIS ONE CITY ARE HOMELESS. THEIR SCHOOLS, IF THEY STILL STAND, HAVE BECOME SHELTERS. CLASSROOMS AND CORRIDORS ARE PACKED TO CAPACITY ` INFANT BABIES WHO SOMEHOW SURVIVED DISASTER; ENTIRE FAMILIES WITH NO OTHER PLACE TO GO. IN AN UPSTAIRS DORM, TEENAGERS REFLECT ON HOW TOTALLY, UTTERLY LIFE HAS CHANGED. LOOKING AT THE SCHOOL NOW AND SEEING HOW THE STORM YOLANDA, UM, HIT OUR SCHOOL, IT'S LIKE... IT'S NEVER GONNA BE THE SAME. SO FAR, THE INTERNATIONAL AID HASN'T GOT THIS FAR. BUT THE TEACHERS LIKE LORNA ARE ORGANISING FOR WHEN IT DOES. THE NEEDS OF THIS SCHOOL HERE, THE PEOPLE, ARE FOOD, MEDICINE. THERE IS HUNGER HERE BUT NO STARVATION. THEY NEED HELP, BUT THE PEOPLE, THE CHILDREN ARE HOLDING ON DESPITE SO MUCH DESTRUCTION AND TRAGEDY. OFFICIALS WORKING ON THE RELIEF EFFORT SAY AID HAS REACHED ONLY 30 OF THE 40 TOWNS IN LEYTE PROVINCE, WHERE TYPHOON HAIYAN HIT. POLICE ARE CONCERNED THAT DRAG RACING EVENTS ARE LEADING TO PEOPLE TAKING THOSE HIGH SPEEDS TO THE OPEN ROADS. IN THE PAST MONTH, DRIVERS LEAVING AN EVENT HAVE BEEN CLOCKED AT 170KM/HR. ONE NEWS CAMERAS WENT OUT WITH POLICE ON AN OPERATION IN WAIKATO LAST NIGHT. MATT McLEAN WITH WHAT WE SAW. AT WAIKATO'S MEREMERE SPEEDWAY, THEY CALL THIS 'DRAG WARS'. FAST CARS, HIGH-SPEED RACING. WE PUT THIS FACILITY ON TO GET THESE GUYS OFF THE STREET, AND THEY CAN RACE THEIR MATES DOWN HERE IN A SAFE ENVIRONMENT. BUT OFF THE TRACK, IT'S A DIFFERENT STORY. POLICE TELL US ONCE THE EVENTS WRAP UP, THERE'S MAYHEM ON THE ROADS. A VERY SMALL MINORITY ARE INCLINED TO TAKE THEIR RACETRACK ACTIVITY ON TO THE PUBLIC ROADS ON THEIR WAY HOME. IN FACT, AFTER THE LAST EVENT, POLICE NETTED EIGHT DIFFERENT CARS TRAVELLING AT SPEEDS OF MORE THAN 135KM/H. THE WORST OFFENDER WAS A STAGGERING 171KM/H. SO OUR CAMERAS WERE INVITED OUT WITH POLICE AS THEY CRACKED DOWN ON SPEEDING MOTORISTS. WE'RE JUST ENCOURAGING ALL MOTORISTS WHEN THEY LEAVE TO DRIVE HOME SAFE AND ENSURE EVERYONE GETS HOME SAFE AND SOUND. AND IT DIDN'T TAKE LONG FOR POLICE TO CATCH BOY RACERS IN ACTION. JUST TRYING TO CATCH UP TO A CAR SOUTH OF THE END OF THE EXPRESSWAY. FOR A WHILE, IT LOOKED LIKE THIS CAR, DRIVEN BY AN 18-YEAR-OLD, WASN'T GOING TO STOP. HE WAS CLOCKED DOING 135 IN A 100-K ZONE. WHAT'S THE POTENTIAL FOR A CRASH LIKE AT THAT KIND OF SPEED? HORRIFIC. AND ALL THAT KINETIC ENERGY ` IF IT HITS, SOMETHING'S GOTTA GIVE, AND A HUMAN BODY IS NOT VERY FORGIVING. IT'LL JUST RIP APART. ALL UP, POLICE ISSUED EIGHT SPEEDING TICKETS LAST NIGHT, WITH A FURTHER EIGHT SPEED CAMERA ACTIVATIONS. THEY SAY THAT NUMBER'S DOWN ON PREVIOUS DRAG RACING EVENTS, SO THE MESSAGE IS GETTING THROUGH. BUT, THEY POINT OUT, ONE SPEEDER IS ONE TOO MANY. MATT MCLEAN, ONE NEWS. THE WEATHER AND THE CROWDS TURNED OUT IN FORCE FOR THE 150TH RUNNING OF THE NZ CUP AT RICCARTON IN CHRISTCHURCH. THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE FLOCKED TO SEE HISTORY MADE. LISA DAVIES WAS AMONG THEM. IT WAS SCORCHING WORK BEING STYLISH AT RICCARTON TODAY. IT'S SO HOT, BUT I'M REALLY ENJOYING MYSELF. YOU'VE JUST GOT TO DRINK LOTS OF WATER. THE TOP FASHIONISTAS DID EXACTLY THAT. BUT THINGS WEREN'T JUST HEATING UP ON THE CATWALK. STYLE STAKES WERE HIGH AT THE BOOT PARTY AS WELL. WE'RE QUITE COMPETITIVE. (LAUGHS) THE PRIMPING AND PREENING OF TABLES, IT SEEMS, IS A MUST. YOU LOOK GOOD, YOU FEEL GOOD. THE SUN HAS BROUGHT OUT 18,000 PEOPLE HERE AT RICCARTON, WHICH, THE ORGANISERS SAY, IS EXCEPTIONAL. KIWI MODEL KYLIE BAX MADE QUITE AN ENTRANCE IN VALENTINO. THANK YOU SO MUCH. SHE CERTAINLY UPPED THE FASHION STAKES, BUT AS THE AMBASSADOR OF RACING, IT'S THE 150TH RUNNING OF THE NZ CUP SHE'S HERE FOR. THERE'S BEEN SOME PRESTIGIOUS HORSES OVER THE YEARS THAT HAVE WON THIS, INCLUDING THE GREAT EMPIRE ROSE, SO I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO IT. TOM BURROWS HAS BEEN COMING HERE SINCE THE '70S AND SAYS THE QUALITY OF THE CUP CONTENDERS IS ON THE UP. I THINK IT'S A VERY IMPORTANT MILESTONE FOR THE JOCKEY CLUB. FOR THE 150TH TIME... WITH THE TEMPERATURE STILL IN THE LATE TWENTIES, THE SECOND FAVOURITE TOOK THE RACE OUT. AND SPRING CHEER WINS THE CUP! THIS RACY NUMBER HAS BEEN DESIGNED ESPECIALLY TO MARK THE RACE ANNIVERSARY,... PERFECT. ...WITH ALL THE ELEMENTS THAT MAKE RICCARTON SPECIAL. I'VE TRIED TO COMBINE EVERYTHING HERE. WE'VE GOT THE HORSE; WE'VE GOT THE CUP. IT'S A BIT OF FUN. A BIT OF FUN, A BIT OF FASHION. IT'S WHAT THIS DAY AT THE RACES IS ALL ABOUT. LISA DAVIES, ONE NEWS. AND COMING UP ON ONE NEWS ` CRACKING DOWN ON THE CRACK-SMOKING MAYOR. TORONTO GETS TOUGH, BUT WILL ROB FORD BUDGE? THE POPE REACHES OUT TO EVERY CATHOLIC WITH QUESTIONS ABOUT SOME THORNY ISSUES. AND BATMAN FOR A DAY ` HOW AN AMERICAN CITY MADE A TINY CAPED CRUSADER'S DREAM COME TRUE. SOME OF THE WORST VIOLENCE IN LIBYA SINCE THE OVERTHROW OF MUAMMAR GADDAFI HAS COST THE LIVES OF AT LEAST 32 PEOPLE. GUNFIRE HUNDREDS OF MARCHERS WERE WOUNDED WHEN MILITIAMEN OPENED FIRE ON A RALLY IN THE CAPITAL, TRIPOLI. THE PROTESTERS WANT THE ARMED GROUPS TO LEAVE THE CITY. THE LIBYAN GOVERNMENT'S STRUGGLING TO CONTROL THE MANY RIVAL MILITIAS WHO REFUSE TO DISARM TWO YEARS AFTER THE REVOLT AGAINST GADDAFI. THE RECENT DISCOVERY OF A HUGE MASS GRAVE IN BOSNIA HAS LED TO A CAMPAIGN ON TWITTER. THE BURIAL SITE AT TOMASICA COVERS 5000 SQUARE METRES AND COULD BE THE BIGGEST FROM THE COUNTRY'S BRUTAL WAR IN THE 1990'S. IT'S THOUGHT TO CONTAIN THE REMAINS OF MORE THAN 700 PEOPLE. BOSNIANS ARE BEING URGED TO KEEP TWEETING PHOTOS AND STORIES ABOUT THE MASS GRAVE TO RAISE AWARENESS. ANOTHER ATTEMPT'S BEING MADE TO REIN IN CANADA'S CRACK-SMOKING MAYOR. THE TORONTO CITY COUNCIL'S TAKEN AWAY MOST OF ROB FORD'S AUTHORITY, BUT HE'S REFUSING TO RESIGN EVEN AFTER ADMITTING DRINK DRIVING AND USING DRUGS. THE ABC'S DAVID WRIGHT REPORTS. HAVING ALREADY BEEN STRIPPED OF HIS DIGNITY, TODAY THE MAYOR OF CANADA'S LARGEST CITY WAS STRIPPED OF MOST OF HIS POWERS. SPEAKER: THE MOTION CARRIES 39 TO THREE. THE TORONTO CITY COUNCIL VOTED TO RELIEVE MAYOR ROB FORD OF JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING BUT HIS TITLE. IT'S DONE RELUCTANTLY. IT'S DONE SADLY. FORD HAS ONLY HIMSELF TO BLAME. I'M NOT MAD AT ANYBODY. I TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY. HE'S MADE HIS OFFICE A LAUGHING STOCK AFTER POLICE OBTAINED A VIDEO TAPE OF HIM SMOKING CRACK COCAINE. I APOLOGISE. FORD HAS APOLOGISED REPEATEDLY. I APOLOGISE. BUT HE REFUSES TO RESIGN. HIS EIGHT-SECOND AWKWARD PAUSE BEFORE ANSWERING AN OBVIOUS QUESTION WAS FODDER FOR MORE DEVASTATING JOKES. YES! HE DID IT. HE WON! YESTERDAY, THE MAYOR LAUGHED OFF NEW ALLEGATIONS HE SOLICITED PROSTITUTES AND OFFERED TO PERFORM A LEWD ACT ON A CO-WORKER, ONE WE CANNOT DESCRIBE HERE. I'M VERY HAPPILY MARRIED AT HOME. LATER, HE APOLOGISED, HIS SHELL-SHOCKED WIFE AT HIS SIDE. TODAY HE WAS NOT LAUGHING. HIS DEMEANOUR WAS MORE LIKE A SCHOOLBOY SUMMONED TO THE PRINCIPALS, OFFICE. MAN: RESIGN! BUT MAYOR FORD IS VOWING TO FIGHT ON, EVEN THREATENING TO TAKE THE CITY COUNCIL TO COURT. AND UNLESS MR FORD IS CONVICTED OF A CRIME AND JAILED, THE CITY COUNCIL DOESN'T HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO REMOVE HIM FROM OFFICE. MORE THAN SIX TONS OF IVORY HAVE BEEN DESTROYED IN THE US IN A SYMBOLIC GESTURE AGAINST WILDLIFE TRAFFICKING AND POACHING. THOUSANDS OF TUSKS, CARVINGS AND JEWELLERY WERE PULVERISED IN A GIANT ROCK CRUSHER. THE ITEMS WERE SEIZED FROM SMUGGLERS, TRADERS AND TOURISTS AFTER A GLOBAL BAN ON THE IVORY TRADE CAME INTO EFFECT IN 1989. AMERICA IS THE WORLD'S SECOND LARGEST IVORY CONSUMER AFTER CHINA. FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MORE THAN HALF A CENTURY, THE CATHOLIC CHURCH IS SEEKING THE VIEWS OF ITS FOLLOWERS AROUND THE WORLD. MILLIONS OF CATHOLICS ARE BEING ENCOURAGED TO TAKE PART IN A SURVEY ABOUT THEIR ATTITUDES TO DIVORCE, GAY RIGHTS AND CONTRACEPTION. THE QUESTIONNAIRE WAS ORDERED BY THE POPE, BUT IT'S NOT CLEAR IF IT WILL LEAD TO CHANGES. HERE'S THE BBC'S ROBERT PIGGOT. HIGH MASS AT WESTMINSTER CATHEDRAL. A CELEBRATION FOR CATHOLICS OF THEIR BELIEF IN UNCHANGING TRUTHS ABOUT GOD. BUT EVEN BELIEVERS REJECT SOME CHURCH TEACHING, ESPECIALLY ABOUT WHAT THEY REGARD AS THEIR PRIVATE LIVES. THE POPE'S INSTRUCTION TO BISHOPS AROUND THE WORLD TO CONSULT, AS FAR AS POSSIBLE, ALL CATHOLICS REPRESENTS AN UNPRECEDENTED ATTEMPT TO GAUGE OPINION IN THIS VAST CHURCH. THE WAY THE SURVEY'S WORDED HAS BEEN CRITICISED AS OBSCURE AND CONVOLUTED, BUT THERE'S NO DENYING THAT IT GOES TO THE HEART OF SOME FUNDAMENTAL AND OFTEN QUITE AWKWARD ISSUES ABOUT THE WAY CATHOLICS LEAD THEIR LIVES. THE SURVEY ASKS WHETHER DIVORCED CATHOLICS WHO REMARRY SHOULD BE ALLOWED COMMUNION; DO PEOPLE ACCEPT THE RULES ABOUT CONTRACEPTION; AND WHAT CAN THE CHURCH DO TO CONNECT WITH GAY COUPLES. BUT THERE'S A GROWING GAP BETWEEN CHURCH TEACHING AND THE WAY CATHOLICS BEHAVE. ONLY 5% OF BRITISH CATHOLICS ARE GOOD CATHOLICS ACCORDING TO THE CATHOLIC CHURCH'S TEACHING, AND THAT IS DECLINING WITH EVERY GENERATION. THE CONSULTATION REFLECTS POPE FRANCIS' BELIEF THAT WHAT HE CALLS THE CHURCH'S SMALL-MINDED RULES HAVE HURT PEOPLE. THE CATHOLIC CHURCH I ACTUALLY DON'T RECOGNISE, BECAUSE I'VE BEEN DIVORCED NOW AND REMARRIED. THE RULES OF THIS CHURCH MUST STAY FIRM. OTHERWISE, WE WILL JUST BE DIMINISHED. THE POPE'S INITIATIVE SHOWS HE WANTS TO REFORM THE VATICAN'S RIGID CONTROL OF THE CHURCH. IT'S ALSO A TACIT ACKNOWLEDGEMENT THAT THE WAY THE CHURCH DEALS WITH THOSE WHO CANNOT OR WILL NOT CONFORM TO ITS TEACHING MUST CHANGE TOO. CATHOLICS IN NZ ARE BEING INVITED TO TAKE PART IN THE ONLINE SURVEY. WEATHER TIME NOW. AND IT'S BEEN VERY WARM IN EASTERN PARTS OF THE SOUTH ISLAND TODAY, KAREN? HIGH TWENTIES IN SOME PARTS. CHRISTCHURCH STILL SITTING ON 27. THAT'S DUE TO THE FOEHN WEST TO NORTH-WEST WIND PRECEDING THE FRONTS. SOME FRONTAL RAIN FOR WESTERN PARTS OF THE SOUTH ISLAND. NOW, WE'VE GOT A COOLER AIR MASS AND SOME SHOWERS MOVING THROUGH SOUTHLAND AND OTAGO. FOR WEATHER, SEE ONENEWS.CO.NZ GREAT LOOKING CIRRUS CLOUDS HERE. VERY WISPY. THEY'RE SOMETIMES CALLED MARES' TAILS. THEY'RE A HIGH CLOUD MADE FROM ICE CRYSTALS. I'LL BE BACK WITH YOUR SUNDAY FORECAST AFTER SPORT. I'LL TELL YOU WHO GETS SOME MORNING DRIZZLE. AND UP NEXT ON ONE NEWS. LOOKING GOOD. AN HISTORIC BRIDGE IS BACK IN BUSINESS AFTER A RADICAL MAKEOVER. AND ONE PRECIOUS CHILD IS ALL SHE'S ALLOWED. BUT THAT COULD CHANGE AS CHINA LOOKS AT SWEEPING REFORMS. ONE OF THE SOUTH ISLAND'S ICONIC SKI FIELDS HAS RETURNED TO NZ OWNERSHIP. CARDRONA ALPINE RESORT, WHICH INCLUDES COMMERCIAL ACCOMMODATION, HAS BEEN BOUGHT BY SOUTH ISLAND TOURIST COMPANY REAL JOURNEYS FROM ITS FORMER AUSTRALIAN OWNERS FOR AN UNDISCLOSED SUM. WE'VE BEEN LOOKING TO DIVERSIFY FOR SOME TIME, AND WE SAW THAT THIS IS A GREAT LOCAL ASSET IN NZ. IT ALSO IS A WINTER BUSINESS, WHERE MOST OF OUR BUSINESS IS IN THE SUMMER, SO THERE'S A WHOLE LOT OF SYNERGIES THAT WE CAN EXTRACT BY PUTTING THE BUSINESSES TOGETHER. REAL JOURNEYS ALSO OPERATES TOURIST VESSELS IN FIORDLAND, STEWART ISLAND AND AKAROA AS WELL AS THE HISTORIC STEAMSHIP EARNSLAW ON LAKE WAKATIPU. A MARVEL OF 19TH CENTURY ENGINEERING IS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC AGAIN AFTER EXTENSIVE REPAIR WORK. THE CLIFDEN SUSPENSION BRIDGE IN WESTERN SOUTHLAND IS THE LONGEST WOODEN SUSPENSION BRIDGE IN THE COUNTRY. MAX BANIA REPORTS. TREADING THE PATH OF OUR PIONEERS, CLIFDEN'S HISTORIC 114-YEAR-OLD SUSPENSION BRIDGE IS BACK OPEN AFTER A $500,000 PROJECT TO MAKE IT SAFE. THEY UNDERTOOK TO REPLACE A LOT OF THE TIMBERWORK THAT HAD BECOME ROTTEN, AND SOME OF THE STEEL WORK NEEDED REPLACING, SO IT WAS A MAJOR JOB, REALLY. CLOSED TO EVEN PEDESTRIANS SINCE 2010, THE 111M BRIDGE IS THE LONGEST OF ITS KIND IN NZ. IT SERVICED VEHICLE TRAFFIC RIGHT UP UNTIL 1978. IT DEPENDED ON THE WEIGHT AND LENGTH OF` THE LENGTH OF THE WEIGHT SPAN, BUT A SHORTER SPAN AND THE BRIDGE WOULD POP UP A BIT MORE AT THE OTHER END OF IT THAN IT NORMALLY DID. IT WAS QUITE EERIE, ACTUALLY, TO JUMP ON ONE END WITH A FULLY LOADED TRUCK AND SEE THE OTHER END COME FLYING UP IN THE AIR. BACK AT THE TURN OF LAST CENTURY, THE BRIDGE OPENED UP PASTURES WEST OF THE WAIAU RIVER, ELIMINATING A PERILOUS RIVER CROSSING. PEOPLE TODAY, THEY'LL SPEED DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND GO ACROSS BRIDGES AND NOT REALISE THAT THERE'S A RIVER BELOW THERE, AND IN EARLIER DAYS, IT WAS JUST A DANGEROUS PLACE TO CROSS. IT'S A MAJOR VISITOR ATTRACTION FOR THE TUATAPERE AND CLIFDEN COMMUNITIES, REALLY. IT'S SURPRISING EVERYONE CAN'T GET OVER THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE THAT CALL IN HERE. THAT NUMBER IS SET TO RISE NOW THAT VISITORS CAN GET UP CLOSE TO A MARVEL OF OUR ENGINEERING PAST. MAX BANIA, ONE NEWS. CHINA IS LOOSENING ITS ONE-CHILD POLICY AS THE COUNTRY SIGNALS SOME OF ITS BIGGEST CHANGES IN DECADES CHINA HAS ANNOUNCED IT'S LOOSENING ITS ONE-CHILD POLICY. THE GOVERNMENT WILL ALSO ABOLISH THE MUCH-CRITICISED LABOUR CAMP SYSTEM. THE BBC'S MARTIN PATIENCE HAS THE STORY. IT'S THE WORLD'S MOST CONTROVERSIAL FAMILY PLANNING LAW. BUT CHINA'S ONE-CHILD POLICY IS SET TO BE RELAXED. MANY COUPLES IN THE CITIES WILL NOW BE ALLOWED A SECOND CHILD. INTRODUCED 30 YEARS AGO, THE POLICY WAS DESIGNED TO PREVENT A POPULATION EXPLOSION. IT'S OFTEN BEEN BRUTALLY ENFORCED. LAST YEAR, WE MET THIS WOMAN. SHE AND HER HUSBAND ALREADY HAD A CHILD. BUT UNDER THE EXEMPTIONS, SHE WAS ACTUALLY ALLOWED A SECOND. BUT WHEN SHE WAS SIX MONTHS PREGNANT, OFFICIALS DRAGGED HER TO HOSPITAL AND INJECTED HER TO FORCE AN ABORTION. TRANSLATOR: 'MY BABY DIDN'T DIE IMMEDIATELY. 'IT KEPT ON STRUGGLING INSIDE ME. 'IT BROKE MY HEART. 'THE NEXT DAY, IT WAS BORN, STILL ALIVE. 'IT CRIED. 'THE DOCTOR SAID, "DON'T LOOK AT IT. YOU'LL HAVE NIGHTMARES."' CHINA MAY HAVE THE WORLD'S BIGGEST POPULATION, BUT IT NEEDS MORE BABIES. THE NUMBER OF WORKERS HERE IS SHRINKING, AND THE COSTS FOR SUPPORTING THE ELDERLY ARE RISING. THE BIG CONCERN FOR THE COUNTRY'S LEADERS IS THAT CHINA WILL BECOME OLD BEFORE IT GETS RICH. TODAY, BEIJING ALSO ANNOUNCED IT WILL ABOLISH ITS LABOUR CAMPS, WHERE PEOPLE COULD BE SENT FOR UP TO FOUR YEARS WITHOUT A TRIAL. AT THIS CAMP, YOU COULD HEAR THE CHANTS FROM PRISONERS UNDERGOING FORCED RE-EDUCATION. TODAY'S ANNOUNCEMENTS WERE BOLD AND EYE-CATCHING. BUT THE PARTY ULTIMATELY BELIEVES THEY WILL STRENGTHEN, RATHER THAN WEAKEN, ITS GRIP ON POWER. EXACT DETAILS OF THE REFORMS AND WHEN THEY'LL BE IMPLEMENTED ARE STILL UNCLEAR. LOOKING AT OUR TOP STORIES TONIGHT ` PROTESTORS AROUND THE COUNTRY ARE DEMANDING CHANGES TO THE WAY VICTIMS OF SEXUAL VIOLENCE ARE TREATED. THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE TOOK TO THE STREETS TO VENT THEIR ANGER IN THE WAKE OF THE ROAST BUSTERS SEX SCANDAL. WELLINGTON POLICE HOPE THIS DISTINCTIVE CARVING KNIFE WILL HELP THEM IDENTIFY A WOMAN'S KILLER. CHINESE NATIONAL MEI FAN (37) WAS MURDERED LAST WEEKEND. POLICE URGE ANYONE WHO RECOGNISES THE KNIFE TO CONTACT THEM. AND TAMILS IN SRI LANKA HAVE USED A VISIT BY FOREIGN MINISTER MURRAY McCULLY TO PRESS FOR AN INDEPENDENT INQUIRY INTO ALLEGED WAR CRIMES. IT COMES AS DEBATE RAGES AT THE COMMONWEALTH HEADS OF GOVERNMENT MEETING OVER SRI LANKA'S HUMAN RIGHTS RECORD. JENNY-MAY'S HERE WITH SPORT. WHAT ABOUT THE ALL WHITES' BIZARRE MEDIA BAN AT THE AIRPORT? THAT WAS INTERESTING. THEY WERE PROTECTED BY A SECURITY GUARD. PERHAPS DUE TO THE FALL-OUT, THERE WAS A U-TURN A FEW HOURS LATER. ALSO COMING UP TONIGHT ` WE CROSS LIVE TO HAMILTON AHEAD OF DAVID TUA'S BOUT WITH THE BELARUSIAN GIANT. KIWIS STAR PLAYER SONNY BILL WILLIAMS TAKES A HIT IN THIS MORNING'S WORLD CUP QUARTER-FINAL. THE COUNTDOWN IS ON. IN JUST UNDER NINE HOURS, THE ALL BLACKS SEEK REVENGE AGAINST ENGLAND. BREAKERS FANS CONTINUE TO SUFFER. A HEART-BREAKING LOSS FOR THE THREE-TIME DEFENDING CHAMPS. KIA ORA. WELCOME BACK TO SPORT. THEY TOOK A BEATING AT THE HANDS OF MEXICO ON THURSDAY, AND NOW THE ALL WHITES' PUBLIC IMAGE HAS TAKEN A POUNDING TOO. THE TEAM ARRIVED IN WELLINGTON THIS MORNING, BUT THE ONLY MAN DOING THE TALKING WAS THEIR SECURITY GUARD. ABBY SCOTT REPORTS. THE ALL WHITES FAILED TO FRONT IN MEXICO, AND THEY MADE IT TWO FROM TWO IN WELLINGTON. WE'RE NOT DOING ANY MEDIA HERE THIS MORNING. SO WE'RE JUST GOING TO KEEP GOING. THE TEAM'S SECURITY GUARD FORGOT HE WAS ON HOME TURF, SHOVING MEDIA OUT OF THE WAY AS HE PROCLAIMED THE COACH AND TEAM WERE OFF-LIMITS. TRAVELLING FOR 24 HOURS. WE'RE NOT DOING ANY MEDIA HERE THIS MORNING, OK? BUT THAT'S NOT WHAT THE MEDIA WERE PROMISED. THE OFFICIAL ALL WHITES SCHEDULE SAYS THAT ON ARRIVAL INTO WELLINGTON, COACH RICKI HERBERT AND PLAYERS WOULD BE AVAILABLE. THE FIRST ONE NEWS HEARD THAT THAT WASN'T THE CASE WAS AT THE AIRPORT. FOOTBALL NZ'S MEDIA MAN ON THE GROUND WAS LEFT TRYING TO FIND SOMEONE ` ANYONE ` TO FRONT. BUT HERBERT WASN'T TALKING, AND THE PLAYERS WEREN'T ABLE TO. I CAN'T REALLY SAY TOO MUCH, BECAUSE WE'RE NOT ALLOWED TO SPEAK. IN THE END, PAUL GUNN GOT THE UNENVIABLE TASK OF HAVING TO EXPLAIN THE SUDDEN CHANGE OF HEART. THE TEAM HAVE BEEN TRAVELLING FOR 36 HOURS NOW, AND COMING BACK INTO NZ, BASICALLY THE ONSLAUGHT AND THE LEVEL OF MEDIA INTEREST THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE TOURNAMENT'S BUILT UP, AND THE GUYS ARE JUST REALLY REALLY FATIGUED. THEIR BUSINESS CLASS FLIGHT BETWEEN LA AND AUCKLAND WAS OBVIOUSLY NOT RELAXING ENOUGH. ALTHOUGH IN REALITY, THE PLAYERS LOOKED MORE EMBARRASSED THAN TIRED. CAN COMPLETELY APPRECIATE THAT IT'S NOT ALWAYS A GOOD LOOK. A HASTILY-ARRANGED INTERVIEW SESSION THIS AFTERNOON TRYING TO SAVE FACE. WHEN WE TRAVELLED ACROSS TO MEXICO, APART FROM MARCO, I THINK, GETTING HOODWINKED SOMEWHERE, WE TOOK EXACTLY THE SAME APPROACH. BUT THE TIME AND ALLOCATION TO THE MEDIA HAS ALWAYS BEEN IMPORTANT TO ME PERSONALLY AND CERTAINLY TO THE PUBLIC. AS TO WHO MADE THE CALL THAT LED TO THIS CIRCUS,... THAT'S UP TO, YOU KNOW, NZ FOOTBALL HOW IT'S ALL HANDLED. THEY FELT IT WAS BEST THAT WE GET OUR BAGS, GET TO THE HOTEL, CHECK IN AND SETTLE IN, AND THEN WE CAN DO OUR INTERVIEWS. ...LET'S HOPE THE TEAM PUTS ON A MORE PROFESSIONAL SHOW ON WEDNESDAY. ABBY SCOTT, ONE NEWS. AND IT'S SHOW TIME TONIGHT IN HAMILTON FOR BOXER DAVID TUA ` THE FORMER CONTENDER WHO TURNS 41 NEXT WEEK. TUA NEEDS TO KNOCK OUT BELARUSIAN ALEXANDER USTINOV IF HE'S TO EARN AN UNLIKELY SECOND TITLE SHOT. LET'S GO TO JOE PORTER AT THE CLAUDELANDS ARENA. IT IS SOLD OUT. ALMOST 5000 TICKETS HAVE GONE IT'S GOING TO BE A FULL HOUSE. I'M JOINED BY SHANE CAMERON. HOW DOES DAVID GET USTINOV TO DROP THOSE HANDS USTINOV IS GOOD AT CONTROLLING HIS RANGE. DAVID HAS HIS WORK CUT OUT. HE NEEDS TO BE EXPLOSIVE. HE'S A SHORTER GUY. YOU'VE SEEN USTINOV SPAR. HOW DO YOU SEE THIS PANNING OUT? I WANT DAVID TO WIN. HE'S GOT HIS WORK CUT OUT. A CHANCE THE WINNER WILL GET A SHOT AT THE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE. THE VICTORY NEEDS TO COME TONIGHT. DAVID TUA WILL FACE THE GIANT ALEXANDER USTINOV. WILL HE GET THE CHANCE TO RESURRECT HIS CAREER? WE'LL HAVE LIVE UPDATES ON OUR WEBSITE. THANKS, JO PORTER AT CLAUDELANDS ARENA, HAMILTON. RUGBY HEAVYWEIGHTS NZ AND ENGLAND WILL SLUG IT OUT FOR GLOBAL DOMINANCE IN LONDON TOMORROW. THE ALL BLACKS ARE DESPERATE TO ERASE ANY LINGERING MEMORIES OF LAST YEAR'S SHOCK LOSS AT TWICKENHAM. HERE'S EUROPE CORRESPONDENT GARTH BRAY. ENGLAND ARE AT HOME BUT NOT AT EASE, STRIVING TO REPEAT ANYTHING LIKE THE 'DONKEY-LICKING' THE ALL BLACK COACH SAYS THEY DISHED OUT TO NZ A YEAR AGO. THERE ARE NO CHUCKLES EITHER ABOUT MOTIVATIONAL MANTRAS DESCRIBING THEIR OPPONENTS AS THE MOST DOMINANT TEAM IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD. IT'S THERE IN BLACK AND WHITE. YOU WATCH THEM PLAY, AND YOU WATCH THEM SUCCEED IN PLACES LIKE ELLIS PARK WHEN THEIR BACKS ARE AGAINST THE WALL. THEY SEEM TO SOAK UP PRESSURE AND DELIVER ON THE BIG OCCASIONS. IT ALL ADDS UP TO A CHAMPION SIDE. THE ALL BLACKS SAY THE MANTRA IS AN AIM; NOT A MISUNDERSTOOD AND OVERCONFIDENT CLAIM THAT THEY ARE ALREADY DOMINANT. THERE'S A QUESTION MARK, ISN'T THERE, ABOUT WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN ON SATURDAY, AND THAT'S WHY YOU PLAY THE GAME. AND WE WANT TO GO OUT AT TWICKENHAM AND PERFORM, AND IT'S ONE OF THE TOUGHER PLACES TO PLAY AT TIMES. AND THEY CAN SWING AS LOW AS THEY LIKE IN THEIR SWEET CHARIOT, AS FAR AS RITCHIE MCCAW IS CONCERNED. PERSONALLY, WHEN YOU GET ATMOSPHERES THAT ARE PRETTY INTIMIDATING, THAT'S WHEN YOU ENJOY SUCCEEDING IN THOSE TYPE OF ENVIRONMENTS. ENGLAND SAYS IT WANTS TO MAKE TWICKENHAM INTO A FORTRESS, BUT FOR THAT THREAT TO HAVE ANY TEETH, THEY NEED TO BEAT THE ALL BLACKS TWICE IN A ROW ` SOMETHING THEY'VE ONLY DONE ONCE IN 108 YEARS. OUR EXPECTATION IS TO GO AND WIN. DOING THAT TAKES PREPARATION, AND THE ALL BLACKS SEEM TO HAVE BEEN PREPARING FOR THIS TEST SINCE DECEMBER 1, 2012. GARTH BRAY, ONE NEWS, LONDON NERVOUS TIMES FOR THE KIWIS RUGBY LEAGUE TEAM AS THEY WAIT ON THE RECOVERY OF THEIR BIGGEST STAR. SONNY BILL WILLIAMS, WHO WAS CARRYING A SHOULDER INJURY INTO THIS MORNING'S QUARTER-FINAL, WAS FORCED FROM THE FIELD IN THE TEAM'S 40-4 DEMOLITION OF SCOTLAND AT THE WORLD CUP. WILLIAM TAKES A CHARGE. I THINK HE'S INJURED. HE'S HURT TOO. SONNY BILL, IT WAS AN AGGRESSIVE TACKLE. A SIGHT TO SEND THE KIWIS CAMP AND FANS INTO A TAILSPIN. THE 16,000 SPECTATORS FELL SILENT AS SONNY BILL WILLIAMS LAY MOTIONLESS. HE CRIED OUT IN PAIN. THIS COULD BE QUITE AN UGLY MOMENT. OH, IT'S HIS NECK. HE PULLED HIS OWN HEAD OUT OF THE TACKLE. WILLIAMS WAS CLEARLY SHAKEN. IT WAS HIS TEAMMATES THAT SOUGHT REVENGE. OH! VATUVEI DECIDES TO GO FOR A RUN. THE MAN HIMSELF HAD PLENTY TO SAY TOO. HE'S LINKED UP WITH LOCKE. LOCKE HAS PLENTY OF SPEED. OFFLOAD TO THE INSIDE. SONNY BILL WILLIAMS! AND HERE IS WILLIAMS. SONNY BILL AND THEN JOHNSON! GOODNIGHT. JOHNSON SPRINTS AWAY. IF ONLY HE WAS BORN IN SCOTLAND, IT'D BE SONNY BILL MCWILLIAMS. BUT THAT WOULD BE WILLIAMS' FINAL APPEARANCE IN THE MATCH, PULLED FROM THE FIELD IN THE 30TH MINUTE. AHEAD 26-0 AT HALF-TIME, ROGER TUIVASA-SHECK GOT OFF TO A FLYER IN THE SECOND HALF. ROGER TUIVASA-SHECK IS OFF. AND ROGER TUIVASA-SHECK WILL SPRINT AWAY AND SCORE. BUT THE BIGGEST CHEER CAME WHEN THE SCOT'S FINALLY BREACHED THE KIWIS DEFENCE IN THE 65TH MINUTE. BURST OUT THE BAGPIPES! THROW ANOTHER HAGGIS ON THE BARBIE! THE FINAL ACT, THOUGH, BELONGED TO MAN OF THE MATCH, TUIVASA-SHECK. THE KIWIS WILL FACE EITHER FRANCE OR ENGLAND IN NEXT WEEKEND'S SEMI-FINAL. RAIN HAS DELAYED THE START OF THE THIRD AN DECIDING ONE-DAYER AGAINST SRI LANKA. NO SOONER HAD THE BLACKCAPS WON THE TOSS AND ELECTED TO FIELD THAN THE RAIN SET IN AT DAMBULLA. COVERS DID COME OFF MINUTES AGO THOUGH, AND PLAY IS EXPECTED TO GET UNDERWAY AT 7. THE KIWIS LEAD THE RAIN-AFFECTED SERIES 1-0. THE BREAKERS HAVE SUFFERED THEIR SIXTH LOSS OF THE SEASON, GOING DOWN IN THE FINAL MOMENTS TO THE ADELAIDE 36ERS. WITH LESS THAN FIVE SECONDS ON THE CLOCK, THE BREAKERS WERE UP BY ONE AND ONLY HAD TO HOLD ON TO THE BALL TO WIN. BUT THE 36ERS STOLE THE PASS AND THE GAME. JOHNSON. TURN OVER. ERVIN. TWO SECONDS TO THE CLOCK. BELL RINGS GAME OVER! ADELAIDE WIN AT THE DEATH, 95-94! ON THE SIDELINE, COACH WAS TELLING US WE CAN GET A STEAL AND DRIBBLE DOWN THE COURT, AND REALISTICALLY, HONESTLY, I TOLD HIM, 'I'MMA GET A STEAL.' AND IT'S JUST SO SURPRISING THAT IT HAPPENED. I MEAN, OH. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY, REALLY. IT'S THE BREAKERS SECOND LOSS TO ADELAIDE THIS SEASON. THEY'VE WON JUST TWO OF THEIR EIGHT GAMES. OUR TOP TRACK CYCLISTS ARE IN INVERCARGILL FOR A COMPETITION THAT MARKS THE STARTING POINT FOR THE NEXT OLYMPIC CAMPAIGN. THE UCI FESTIVAL OF SPEED FEATURES ONE OF THE STRONGEST INTERNATIONAL FIELDS EVER ASSEMBLED HERE. MAX BANIA REPORTS. FOR OUR OLYMPIC HOPEFULS, THE THREE-YEAR JOURNEY TO RIO STARTS HERE IN INVERCARGILL. IT STARTS OUR POINTS-GATHERING PROCESS TOWARDS RIO, SO IT'S GOOD TO HAVE A HIGH-CALIBRE FIELD HERE, SO IT'S A GOOD INDICATOR AS TO WHERE WE'RE GOING TO BE SITTING AND WHAT WE NEED TO WORK ON GOING FORWARD. THIS WEEKEND'S FESTIVAL OF SPEED IS THE FIRST UCI TIER-ONE EVENT TO BE HELD ON OUR SHORES, WITH MORE THAN JUST TRANS-TASMAN BRAGGING RIGHTS AT STAKE. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME OLYMPIC QUALIFYING POINTS HAVE BEEN UP FOR GRABS AT A NZ EVENT. THERE ARE SIX COUNTRIES HERE, INCLUDING A STRONG AUSTRALIAN TEAM. I'VE NEVER SEEN SO MANY STRONG UCI RIDERS DOWN HERE FOR AN ELITE FIELD, SO I HOPE THEY JUST GET BIGGER AND BETTER AND SEE MORE OF THESE IN THE FUTURE. HOME TOWN HERO EDDIE DAWKINS EASILY WON HIS KEIRIN HEAT THIS MORNING, CREDITING HIS RED-HOT SPRINTING FORM TO THE INFLUENCE OF NEW COACH ANTHONY PEDEN. IF A POSITIVE ENVIRONMENT CAN LIFT ONE RIDER BY 5%, THAT 5% WILL LIFT THE OTHER RIDERS BY THE SAME AMOUNT, AND SO WITH A NEGATIVE ENVIRONMENT, EVERYTHING JUST WEIGHS DOWN ON EVERYBODY. DAWKINS AIMING TO EXTEND HIS DOMINANCE IN HIS FAVOURED SPRINT EVENT TOMORROW AND IN THE FOUR-DAY OCEANIA CHAMPS STARTING HERE NEXT TUESDAY. MAX BANIA, ONE NEWS. THANKS, JENNY-MAY.

FINALLY TONIGHT ` A HEART-WARMING STORY ABOUT A LITTLE BOY AND AN AMERICAN CITY THAT WENT ALL OUT TO MAKE HIS DREAMS COME TRUE. FOR ONE DAY ONLY, SAN FRANCISCO WAS TRANSFORMED INTO GOTHAM CITY AND A 5-YEAR-OLD INTO THE WORLD'S NEWEST AND SMALLEST SUPER HERO. THE ABC'S ADITI ROY EXPLAINS. SAN FRANCISCO WAS UNDER SIEGE THIS MORNING. WE BEGIN THIS MORNING'S BROADCAST WITH BREAKING NEWS FROM SAN FRANCISCO'S HALL OF JUSTICE. PLEASE, CAPED CRUSADER, WE NEED YOU, AND... BRING THE BATKID. THE BATCALL WENT OUT, AND A PINT-SIZED CAPED CRUSADER ARRIVED IN THE BATMOBILE. IT'S BATKID. BATKID TO THE RESCUE, WHILE AN ESTIMATED 13,000 PEOPLE GATHERED TO CHEER HIM ON. THE MINI SUPERHERO HAS BATTLED EVILS BEFORE. BEHIND THE MASK IS MILES SCOTT (5), A LEUKAEMIA SURVIVOR FROM TULELAKE, CALIFORNIA. HE WAS DIAGNOSED AT 18 MONTHS, JUST FINISHED HIS LAST CHEMOTHERAPY TREATMENT IN JUNE AND HAD AN AMBITIOUS DREAM. BE BATMAN. SO THE MAKE-A-WISH FOUNDATION MADE IT HAPPEN. THOUSANDS RESPONDED AND SET UP FAKE CRIMES FOR MILES TO SOLVE. LET'S GET HIM. LIKE THE RIDDLER ROBBING A NEARBY BANK. BATMAN AND BATKID RUSHED TO THE SCENE TO TAKE ON THEIR ARCH-ENEMY. THERE HAVE BEEN PLENTY OF SUPERHERO WISHES THAT MAKE-A-WISH HAS HAD OVER THE YEARS. NOTHING LIKE THIS HAS HAPPENED. THIS IS FAR BEYOND ANY OF OUR EXPECTATIONS, AND IT'S CRAZY. IT'S` HOW BIG IT'S GOTTEN. IT'S SO INSPIRING. FOR CAPTURING THE VILLAINS, BATKID GOT THE KEY TO THE CITY, MADE OF CHOCOLATE ` THE SUPERHERO'S FAVOURITE. ALL CHANT: BATKID! BATKID! BUT HE ALSO CONQUERED THE HEARTS AND MINDS OF PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD. AND EVEN PRESIDENT OBAMA GOT IN ON THE CAPER, SENDING A VIDEO MESSAGE CONGRATULATING MILES FOR SAVING THE CITY. THAT'S ONE NEWS THIS SATURDAY. FROM US AND ALL THE ONE NEWS TEAM, GOODNIGHT. CAPTIONS BY GLENNA CASALME AND FINN SCOTT-KELLY. CAPTIONS WERE MADE POSSIBLE WITH FUNDING FROM NZ ON AIR.
