TONIGHT ` OUR VERY OWN KIWI BLADE RUNNER LIAM MALONE BURNS UP THE TRACK, TAKING GOLD AND SMASHING A PARALYMPIC RECORD. HUMILIATED AND FRIGHTENED BY COLIN CRAIG, RACHEL MCGREGOR OUTLINES ALLEGATIONS OF SEXUAL HARASSMENT BY HER FORMER BOSS. AND THE BOSS GETS SET TO ROCK THE GARDEN CITY ON THE EVE OF THE SIXTH ANNIVERSARY OF THE FEBRUARY EARTHQUAKE. DUE TO THE LIVE NATURE OF TONIGHT, WE APOLOGISE FOR THE LACK OF CAPTIONS FOR SOME ITEMS. WE START WITH DEVELOPING NEWS ON THE WEST COAST TONIGHT, WHERE STATE HIGHWAY 6 HAS BEEN CLOSED FOLLOWING A HOUSE FIRE IN FRANZ JOSEF. POLICE AND FIRE CREWS ARE AT THE SCENE ON DONOVAN DRIVE. THESE IMAGES, SENT TO ONE NEWS BY A NEIGHBOUR, SHOW A PROPERTY WELL ABLAZE. LOCALS HAVE TOLD ONE NEWS THAT POLICE ARE ADVISING THEM TO STAY IN THEIR HOMES AFTER REPORTS OF A MAN SEEN CARRYING A FIREARM. MOTORISTS ARE BEING ASKED TO AVOID THE AREA. LET'S HEAD TO RIO NOW, AND THE REMARKABLE ACHIEVEMENTS OF OUR PARALYMPIANS. THIS IS LIAM MALONE, NOW DUBBED THE KIWI BLADE RUNNER, SMASHING THE PREVIOUS 200M PARALYMPIC RECORD, HELD BY NONE OTHER THAN OSCAR PISTORIUS. AND OUR TEAM'S EXTRAORDINARY 24 HOURS DIDN'T STOP THERE; TWO BIG WINS IN THE POOL CAPPED OFF A TRULY GOLDEN DAY. HERE'S NAOMI TAN. MALONE GETS THE GOLD FOR NZ! IN JUST 21.06 SECONDS, LIAM MALONE HAS SHOT TO PARALYMPIC STARDOM, NOW KNOWN AS THE KIWI BLADE RUNNER AFTER BREAKING OSCAR PISTORIUS' PARALYMPIC RECORD IN THE T-44 200M SPRINT. I DON'T REALLY BELIEVE MY OWN HYPE. LIKE, I'M JUST A GOOFY DUDE FROM NELSON WHO JUST RUNS IN CIRCLES AND READS BOOKS. YOU KNOW, THERE'S NOTHING REALLY SPECIAL TO ME AT ALL. A SHINY NEW GOLD TO GO WITH HIS 100M SILVER. I DON'T KNOW WHAT SORT OF STRATEGY PEOPLE BRING INTO THESE THINGS. I JUST TRY AND PUT ONE LEG IN FRONT OF THE OTHER REAL QUICK, AND IT TURNED OUT GOOD. HIS ROAR OF EMOTION AT WINNING ECHOED BY FRIENDS AND FAMILY IN THE STANDS. THAT SAME INTENSITY SEEN AT THE POOL FROM FELLOW GOLD MEDALLIST SOPHIE PASCOE,... NATIONAL ANTHEM PLAYS ...BAGGING HER NINTH GOLD MEDAL WHILE BEATING HER OWN PARALYMPIC RECORD IN THE 100M BUTTERFLY S-10. SHE'S NOW NZ'S MOST SUCCESSFUL PARALYMPIAN EVER, WITH NINE GOLDS AND FIVE SILVERS OVER THREE PARALYMPICS. SHE REALLY IS, AS WE'VE SAID, IN A CLASS OF HER OWN. THERE'S MORE TO COME OUT OF ME AFTER THIS MEET, AND I THINK THAT'S THE EXCITING PART ` THAT I'M ALWAYS WANTING TO CHALLENGE MYSELF AND TAKE IT THAT STEP FURTHER TO TRY AND PERFECT ALL THE LITTLE THINGS. ADDING TO THE GOLDEN TALLY, WHANGAREI FLYER CAMERON LESLIE. THE TWO-TIME PARALYMPIC GOLD MEDALLIST WAS NEVER IN DOUBT TO WIN HIS THIRD. THE FASTEST QUALIFIER BY THREE SECONDS. LESLIE SHATTERED THE SM-4 150M INDIVIDUAL MEDLEY WORLD RECORD. 2.23 IS WHAT WE WERE TARGETING, AND I'M GLAD THAT WE HIT IT. ALL THREE ATHLETES HAVE MORE EVENTS COMING UP AT THE GAMES; THE PROMISE OF MORE MEDALS A TANTALISING ONE. NAOMI TAN, ONE NEWS. AND HOW'S THIS FOR A COOL PERSPECTIVE ON JUST HOW FAST SOME OF THESE PARALYMPIANS ARE MOVING. THE MEN'S 1500M FINAL FOR THE VISUALLY IMPAIRED WAS WON IN WORLD RECORD TIME BY ALGERIA'S ABDELLATIF BAKA. THE TOP FOUR RUNNERS HAD QUICKER TIMES THAN THE WINNING TIME AT THE RIO OLYMPICS JUST A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO. AND IT'S A NEW WORLD RECORD! 3.48.29. HE'S BROKEN IT BY TWO HUNDREDTHS OF A SECOND. NOW, WE SHOULD MENTION THE WINNING TIME FOR THE 1500 IN RIO WAS THE SLOWEST SINCE 1932; NEVERTHELESS STILL A PRETTY COOL ACCOMPLISHMENT. SO, LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT THE MEDAL STANDINGS. CHINA LEADS WITH NEARLY TWICE AS MANY GOLDS AS ANYONE ELSE, AND GREAT BRITAIN'S PARAS ARE MATCHING THE SUCCESS THEY SAW AT THE OLYMPICS. NZ IS SEVENTH ON THE TABLE, JUST BEHIND AUSTRALIA. AND YOU CAN SEE EXTENSIVE LIVE COVERAGE OF THE PARALYMPICS ON TVNZ'S DUKE CHANNEL, AND HIGHLIGHTS RIGHT HERE ON ONE, THANKS TO ACC SPORTSMART AND NZ ON AIR. TO OTHER NEWS NOW ` AND THE WOMAN AT THE CENTRE OF COLIN CRAIG'S DEFAMATION TRIAL HAS SPOKEN IN COURT ABOUT ALLEGED SEXUAL HARASSMENT BY HER FORMER BOSS. RACHEL MACGREGOR SAYS MR CRAIG LEFT HER FEELING HUMILIATED AND FRIGHTENED, AND SHE WAS DEEPLY DISGUSTED BY SPECULATION THEY'D HAD AN AFFAIR. YVONNE TAHANA WAS IN COURT. RACHEL MACGREGOR HASN'T SPOKEN PUBLICLY ABOUT COLIN CRAIG'S TREATMENT OF HER, UNTIL TODAY. GRANTED IMAGE PROTECTION IN COURT, THE FORMER PRESS SECRETARY HELD LITTLE BACK, DETAILING HOW SHE TOLD HER FRIEND JORDAN WILLIAMS ABOUT ALLEGED SEXUAL HARASSMENT. CLARITY TOO AROUND A SUPPOSED STEAMY TEXT COLIN CRAIG WAS MEANT TO HAVE SENT. MACGREGOR SAYS CRAIG TOLD HER OF HIS DREAM ON THE WAY TO AN EARLY-MORNING INTERVIEW. IT'D BEEN A FAR CRY FROM THEIR WORKING RELATIONSHIP WHEN SHE STARTED IN 2011. THEN IT WAS WARM AND THE PAIR HAD FUN. SHE ADMITTED THERE WAS A KISS AND CRAIG HAD TOUCHED HER BREAST ON ELECTION NIGHT 2011. LATER SHE TOLD HIS WIFE WHAT SHE THOUGHT OF HIM. SHE QUIT IN 2014, TWO DAYS BEFORE ELECTION DAY, CLAIMING HE OWED HER MONEY AFTER NOT PAYING HER FOR MONTHS. THE PAIR THEN SIGNED A CONFIDENTIAL SETTLEMENT WHICH SHE SAYS HE BROKE BY DOING THE INFAMOUS SAUNA INTERVIEW AND IN SUBSEQUENT PRESS CONFERENCES. PARTS OF RACHEL MACGREGOR'S RELATIONSHIP WITH COLIN CRAIG CAME UNDER INTENSE SCRUTINY. IN CROSS EXAMINATION, SHE WAS ASKED REPEATEDLY IF AN ELECTION NIGHT KISS IN 2011 WAS CONSENSUAL. I DIDN'T TELL MR WILLIAMS THAT I'D BEEN SEXUALLY ASSAULTED, UNDER FURTHER CROSS EXAMINATION, SHE ADMITTED SENDING CHRISTMAS AND BIRTHDAY CARDS BUT SAID IT WASN'T ROMANTIC. RACHEL MACGREGOR WILL CONTINUE TO GIVE EVIDENCE TOMORROW. YVONNE TAHANA, ONE NEWS. IT'S A NATIONAL SHAME. POLICE REACT TO MORE THAN 100,000 FAMILY OR DOMESTIC VIOLENCE ALERTS A YEAR. NOW THE GOVERNMENT'S CRACKING DOWN WITH MAJOR LAW CHANGES, MORE COPS, MORE PRISON BUNKS AND MILLIONS OF DOLLARS. POLITICAL REPORTER ANDREA VANCE WITH THE DETAILS. VICTIMS OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE GOT POWERFUL SUPPORT TODAY. YOU ARE NOT ALONE. YOU DESERVE AND ARE ENTITLED TO A LIFE FREE FROM FEAR. THIS IS A CALL TO ACTION FOR ALL OF US. A CALL TO ACTION, WHICH THE GOVERNMENT'S LEADING IN A COUNTRY WHERE A DOMESTIC VIOLENCE INCIDENTS ARE REPORTED EVERY FIVE MINUTES. VERY OFTEN OUR CLIENTS ARE HEAVILY AND HIGHLY CONTROLLED BY THEIR PARTNERS. THEY CAN'T GET OUT. THE JUSTICE MINISTER RECALLED ONE WOMAN WHO WAS BEATEN BY HER FATHER. AFTER A LIFE OF ALCOHOLISM, SHE ENDURED TWO ABUSIVE RELATIONSHIPS BEFORE BEING BEATEN TO DEATH. AND AFTER TWO YEARS OF WORK, THE GOVERNMENT'S NOW UNVEILED ITS PLAN TO STOP THOSE HARROWING STORIES. IT INVOLVES MORE THAN 50 CHANGES TO DOMESTIC VIOLENCE LAWS, INCLUDING ` NEW OFFENCES SUCH AS NON-FATAL STRANGULATION, COERCION TO MARRY AND ASSAULT ON A FAMILY MEMBER. PROTECTION ORDERS WILL BE EASIER TO GET, AND NON-GOVERNMENT ORGANISATIONS WILL BE ABLE TO APPLY ON BEHALF OF VICTIMS. THERE'LL BE TOUGHER ACTION AGAINST THOSE WHO COMMIT CRIMES WHILE UNDER A PROTECTION ORDER. AND FAMILY VIOLENCE WILL BE FLAGGED ON CRIMINAL RECORDS. THE PLAN WILL COST $130M OVER FOUR YEARS AND INCLUDE 66 EXTRA POLICE AND MORE PRISON BUNKS. VICTIM ADVOCATES WELCOME THE CHANGES BUT WANT MORE MONEY FOR ALREADY STRETCHED NGOS. AT THE MOMENT, WE CANNOT COPE WITH THE NUMBERS THAT WE RECEIVE. THIS IS NOT SOMETHING THAT IS GONNA RESOLVE ITSELF OVERNIGHT. IF I KNEW THE ANSWER TO WHY IT KEEPS ON HAPPENING, AND IS ESCALATING,... I'D BE VERY HAPPY, COS WE'D FIX IT. CENTRAL TO THESE REFORMS IS HAVING PERPETRATORS TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR VIOLENCE. A GOOD FATHER, A GOOD STEP-FATHER AND A GOOD MAN DOES NOT HIT, INTIMIDATE OR CONTROL HIS SPOUSE. THE GOVERNMENT'S AIMING TO INTRODUCE THE NEW LAWS EARLY NEXT YEAR. ANDREA VANCE, ONE NEWS. A RICH-LISTER'S SON WHO BEAT A FEMALE POLICE OFFICER UNCONSCIOUS IN DUNEDIN LAST YEAR HAS NOW APOLOGISED FOR MAKING "A BAD DECISION IN THE HEAT OF THE MOMENT". YESTERDAY NIKOLAS DELEGAT (19) WAS SENTENCED TO 300 HOURS COMMUNITY SERVICE AND ORDERED TO PAY $5000 TO THE OFFICER. THAT SENTENCE HAS TRIGGERED UPROAR AND CLAIMS OF CHEQUEBOOK JUSTICE. POLICE ASSOCIATION BOSS GREG O'CONNOR SAYS IF HE WAS POOR AND BROWN, HE'D BE IN JAIL ` A SENTIMENT ECHOED AT OTAGO UNIVERSITY TODAY. I THINK IT WAS ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS. $5000 AND A COUPLE OF HOURS OF COMMUNITY SERVICE IS NOT HARSH ENOUGH. I THINK IT'S PRETTY PATHETIC, EH. HE'S BEEN CONSIDERABLY LUCKY IN THIS SCENARIO. HE BEAT UP A WOMAN ` A POLICE OFFICER. THIS IS REFLECTIVE OF OUR JUSTICE SYSTEM. THERE IS DIFFERENT TREATMENT BETWEEN PEOPLES. IF THAT WAS ME, SURELY JAIL TIME. MY PARENTS WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO FUND ANY SORT OF LAWYER OR ANYTHING. I'D GET FULLY DONE. I'D BE EXPECTED TO PROBABLY DO JAIL TIME FOR THAT SORT OF THING. SOMEONE MAYBE OF COLOUR OR WHO DOESN'T HAVE THE MONEY TO GET THAT GOOD LAWYER, THEY MIGHT HAVE BEEN TREATED A BIT DIFFERENTLY. YOU KNOW, RULE VERY HARSHLY JUST COS I'M BROWN. IT MAKES ME ANGRY. A MINOR ERUPTION ON WHITE ISLAND IN THE BAY OF PLENTY HAS SEEN THE VOLCANO'S ALERT LEVEL RAISED. GEOLOGISTS SAY ASH WAS 'PASSIVELY' EMITTED FROM A VENT THIS MORNING. THE CLOUD CAN BE CLEARLY SEEN IN THIS TIME-LAPSE, AND IT WAS ALSO VISIBLE FROM WHAKATANE. THE WARNING LEVEL'S BEEN RAISED FROM ONE TO THREE, MEANING THERE'S AN INCREASED LIKELIHOOD OF ERUPTION. TOURS TO THE COUNTRY'S MOST ACTIVE VOLCANO ARE CONTINUING AT THIS STAGE. A YOUNG MAN IS IN CUSTODY AFTER A STOLEN CAR WAS DRIVEN INTO A STATIONARY POLICE CAR SOUTH OF AUCKLAND. POLICE SAY THE DRIVER HAD FLED FROM EAST TAMAKI AND SMASHED INTO THE CAR AS AN OFFICER WAS LAYING ROAD SPIKES. THE CRASH ON STATE HIGHWAY ONE SOUTH OF HAMPTON DOWNS REDUCED TRAFFIC TO ONE LANE AND CAUSED QUEUES OF SEVERAL KILOMETRES IN BOTH DIRECTIONS. PRESSURE'S MOUNTING ON HILLARY CLINTON TO RELEASE HER MEDICAL RECORDS AMID MORE QUESTIONS ABOUT HER FITNESS TO RUN FOR THE WHITE HOUSE. IT FOLLOWS THE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE'S ADMISSION THAT SHE IGNORED HER DOCTOR'S ADVICE AFTER BEING DIAGNOSED WITH PNEUMONIA. CHANNEL NINE'S PETER STEFANOVIC HAS MORE. HELLO, EVERYBODY. CROWD CHEERS DONALD TRUMP ` WITH THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL ALL HIS ` SENDS SOME LOVE TO HIS SICK PRESIDENTIAL RIVAL. HILLARY CLINTON COLLAPSED YESTERDAY AFTER LEAVING A 9/11 ANNIVERSARY. THE PICTURES FORCED HER TEAM TO CONFESS SHE'S GOT PNEUMONIA. NOW RECOVERING AT HER HOME IN CHAPPAQUA, NEW YORK STATE, SHE PHONED CNN. WHY KEEP IT A SECRET? HUSBAND BILL GAVE MORE INSIGHT AND SAID EXHAUSTION HAS STRUCK HER BEFORE. RARELY, BUT ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION OVER THE LAST MANY YEARS, THE SAME SORT OF THING HAS HAPPENED TO HER WHEN SHE JUST GOT SEVERELY DEHYDRATED. BACK ON THE TRAIL, TENSIONS WERE HIGH. CROWD SHOUTS PEOPLE TURNED ON EACH OTHER AT A RALLY IN NORTH CAROLINA WHERE TRUMP RENEWED ATTACKS ON CLINTON AFTER SHE CALLED HIS SUPPORTERS 'A BASKET OF DEPLORABLES'. SHE DIVIDES PEOPLE INTO BASKETS AS THOUGH THEY WERE OBJECTS, NOT HUMAN BEINGS. HILLARY CLINTON'S TEAM ADMIT THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN MORE TRANSPARENT AND TOLD THE AMERICAN PUBLIC MUCH SOONER THAT SHE HAD PNEUMONIA. HILLARY CLINTON SAYS SHE'LL REST FOR A FEW MORE DAYS AND HAS PROMISED ` JUST AS TRUMP HAS ` TO RELEASE MORE MEDICAL INFORMATION. IN THE MEANTIME, HUSBAND BILL WILL STAND IN FOR HER DURING CAMPAIGN STOPS THIS WEEK IN LA AND LAS VEGAS. JUST AHEAD ` HOW AUSSIE LEAGUE STAR JARRYD HAYNE REACTED AFTER BEING CAUGHT ON CAMERA WITH A SUSPECTED HELL'S ANGEL AND A WAD OF CASH. STANDING UP FOR WHAT HE BELIEVES ` A 12-YEAR-OLD HITS THE HEADLINES FOR TRYING TO BLOCK AN ANTI-GAY PROTEST IN MEXICO. AND THE BOSS IS BACK. BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN WILL ROCK CHRISTCHURCH AFTER A PUBLIC PLEA FROM THE MAYOR PAYS OFF. A CEASEFIRE BROKERED BY RUSSIA AND THE US IS BEING DESCRIBED AS THE LAST LIKELY CHANCE FOR PEACE IN SYRIA. BUT JUST OVER ONE DAY IN AND THERE ARE ALREADY WORRYING SIGNS, SYRIA'S PRESIDENT RENEWING HIS VOW TO DESTROY ALL OF HIS ENEMIES. CHANNEL NINE'S TOM STEINFORT REPORTS. SIREN WAILS CEASEFIRE DAY IN SYRIA AND DAMAGE BEING DONE RIGHT UP TO THE DEADLINE. MEN SHOUT THIS WAS THE AFTERMATH OF A BOMBING BY THE ASSAD REGIME IN ALEPPO. THE DEAL TO PUT DOWN ARMS CAME INTO EFFECT AT SUNDOWN AND THE GOVERNMENT MADE THE MOST OF THE LAST MOMENTS OF FIGHTING. SPEAKS ARABIC THIS AID WORKER SAYS THERE'S SUPPOSED TO BE A TRUCE. COUNTRIES AROUND THE WORLD AGREED ON A TRUCE FOR ALEPPO, BUT THERE'S NO TRUCE ` NO NOTHING. IN THE EARLY MORNING THERE HAVE BEEN AIR STRIKES. THE CIVIL WAR IN SYRIA HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR MORE THAN HALF A DECADE NOW, CLAIMING NEARLY HALF A MILLION LIVES WITH 11 MILLION PEOPLE LOSING THEIR HOMES. IT'S HOPED THIS CEASEFIRE CAN LAST A WEEK. A DEAL BROKERED BY THE US AND RUSSIA AS INTERNATIONAL POWERS TRY DESPERATELY TO END THIS BLOODY CONFLICT. ALL PARTIES IN THE WAR HAVE AGREED TO THE DEAL EXCEPT ISLAMIC STATE. THE EARLIEST REPORTS ARE THAT THERE IS SOME REDUCTION IN VIOLENCE AS WELL AS A FEW REPORTS OF FIGHTING HERE AND THERE, THOUGH IT IS FAR TOO EARLY TO DRAW ANY DEFINITIVE CONCLUSIONS. A STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION, BUT WITH PRESIDENT ASSAD STILL VOWING TO DESTROY ALL OF HIS OPPONENTS, EXPLOSION THE ROAD TO PEACE MAY PROVE TO BE A VERY LONG ONE. THE NRL'S INTEGRITY UNIT IS NOW INVESTIGATING LEAGUE STAR JARRYD HAYNE AFTER HE WAS FILMED PARTYING WITH AND GIVING THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO A SUSPECTED HELLS ANGELS GANG MEMBER. BUT HE'S DENIED ANY WRONGDOING AND CLAIMS HE DIDN'T EVEN KNOW THE MAN. CHANNEL NINE'S MICHAEL BEST WITH THIS. IT'S THE BIKIE AND THE FOOTBALL STAR ON A POST-FINALS PARTY THAT'S ATTRACTING THE SCRUTINY OF THE NRL. JARRYD HAYNE, AFTER A YEAR OF NFL, RUGBY AND THEN THE TITANS,... ARRYD HAYNE, AFTER A YEAR OF NFL, RUGBY AND THEN THE TITANS,... HAYNE MADE IT LOOK EASY. ...RAPPING ON SNAPCHAT WITH CHRISTOPHER BLOOMFIELD. A 26-YEAR-OLD FAMOUS FOR BEING A HELL'S ANGEL, BLOOMFIELD IS FACING EXTORTION, ASSAULT AND STEALING CHARGES AFTER ALLEGEDLY TAKING A MAN'S FOUR-WHEEL-DRIVE, BASHING HIM AND THEN THREATENING TO KILL HIS FAMILY OVER A DRUG DEBT. JUST A COUPLE OF FRIENDS MUCKING AROUND AND I CAN'T PUT IT ANY SIMPLER THAN THAT. THERE'S NO SUGGESTION, AGAIN, THAT THERE WAS ANYTHING SINISTER INVOLVED. THE MONEY WAS GIVEN BACK TO JARRYD STRAIGHT AWAY. IT'S A DIFFERENT STORY FROM JARRYD HAYNE, WHO SAYS HE ONLY MET BLOOMFIELD ON SATURDAY, AND WENT FURTHER IN A STATEMENT, SAYING... IN ONE PART OF THE VIDEO, CHRISTOPHER BLOOMFIELD APPEARS TO BE IN ONE PART OF THE VIDEO, CHRISTOPHER BLOOMFIELD APPEARS TO BE DRIVING. HE ISN'T ALLOWED TO. HE WAS SUPPOSED TO APPEAR HERE IN ONE PART OF THE VIDEO, CHRISTOPHER BLOOMFIELD APPEARS TO BE DRIVING. HE ISN'T ALLOWED TO. HE WAS SUPPOSED TO APPEAR HERE IN A MAGISTRATE'S COURT TODAY CHARGED WITH UNLICENCED DRIVING. HE DIDN'T SHOW UP. IN A SEASON WHERE OTHER NRL PLAYERS HAVE BEEN WARNED BY POLICE FOR CONSORTING WITH KNOWN CRIMINALS, IT'S SOMETHING THE LEAGUE DOESN'T NEED. ITS INTEGRITY UNIT IS INVESTIGATING, HELPED BY THE TITANS ` A TEAM RUING THE CONTROVERSY SURROUNDING ITS BIGGEST STAR. DISGRACED AMERICAN SWIMMER RYAN LOCHTE SAYS HE'S JUST TRYING TO MOVE ON WITH HIS LIFE AFTER HIS RIO MISHAP, BUT SOME JUST WON'T LET IT GO. THE OLYMPIAN WAS RUSHED BY TWO PEOPLE WHILE HE WAS PERFORMING ON 'DANCING WITH THE STARS'. SECURITY TACKLED THEM TO THE GROUND. IT BROKE MY HEART, UH, THAT PEOPLE ARE STILL ON THAT SUBJECT AND NO ONE'S MOVING FORWARD, AND I CAME OUT HERE NO MATTER WHAT HAS HAPPENED. I'VE CHANGED AND I WANNA BECOME A BETTER PERSON. THE GOLD MEDALLIST'S TRYING TO REBOOT HIS IMAGE AFTER BEING CHARGED FOR FILING A FALSE ROBBERY REPORT FOLLOWING A DRUNKEN NIGHT OUT IN RIO. THE ACT OF A 12-YEAR-OLD MEXICAN BOY STANDING UP FOR WHAT HE BELIEVES HAS GRABBED THE WORLD'S ATTENTION. THIS STRIKING IMAGE OF THE BOY TRYING TO SINGLE-HANDEDLY STOP AN ANTI-GAY PROTEST HAS GONE VIRAL. TENS OF THOUSANDS MARCHED OVER THE WEEKEND AGAINST THEIR PRESIDENT'S PROPOSAL TO RECOGNIZE SAME SEX MARRIAGE. THE IMAGE IS BEING LIKENED TO THE ICONIC TANK MAN SHOT TAKEN IN TIANANMEN SQUARE DURING CHINA'S STUDENT UPRISING IN 1989. BACK HERE NOW ` AND CANTABRIANS ARE DANCING IN THE DARK TONIGHT AFTER NEWS THE BOSS IS HEADING TO CHRISTCHURCH. HE'S PERFORMING ON THE EVE OF THE SIXTH ANNIVERSARY OF THE FEBRUARY EARTHQUAKE ` A DISASTER HE PAID TRIBUTE TO WHILE HE PERFORMED IN AUCKLAND LAST YEAR. HERE'S HANNAH MILLS. HE FINISHED HIS LAST TOUR ON A HIGH WITH TWO SELL-OUT AUCKLAND SHOWS. AND IN 2017, THE BOSS IS COMING TO CHRISTCHURCH. WELL, I THINK IT'S PRETTY SPECIAL. I THINK IT WILL BE UPLIFTING FOR THE CITY ITSELF, BUT IT ALSO SAYS SOMETHING ABOUT CHRISTCHURCH. HE'S ALWAYS STUCK UP FOR PEOPLE THAT HAVE BEEN THROUGH HARD TIMES. IT'LL BE THE FIRST TIME SPRINGSTEEN HAS EVER PERFORMED IN THE SOUTH ISLAND, BUT IT WON'T BE THE FIRST TIME HE'S ACKNOWLEDGED THOSE FANS. THIS IS FOR MY FRIENDS FROM CHRISTCHURCH. CHEERING WHO I KNOW HAVE HAD THEIR SHARE OF HARDSHIP. AND THIS IS FOR ALL OF THE SOULS PRESENT TONIGHT AND FOR ALL OF THE SOULS WE'RE MISSING. HIS SONGS BECOMING UNOFFICIAL ANTHEMS FOR THE REBUILDING CITY, AND ITS MAYOR. 'MY HOMETOWN' IS THE ONE THAT REALLY GETS ME. I DID WRITE A LETTER TO BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN, ASKING HIM TO COME, BUT I DON'T KNOW IF HE EVER GOT THE LETTER. OBVIOUSLY, IT'LL BE VERY EMOTIONAL AND SPECIAL, AND I THINK THE EMOTION FROM THE CROWD AND THE EMOTION` HE'LL FEEL IT, AND I JUST THINK IT'LL BE A SHOW THAT'LL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN. THE TOUR'S ALSO A BIG BREAK FOR LOCAL LYTTELTON SINGER THE TOUR'S ALSO A BIG BREAK FOR LOCAL LYTTELTON SINGER MARLON WILLIAMS. HE'LL BE OPENING FOR BOTH THE CHRISTCHURCH AND AUCKLAND CONCERTS. IT'S GOING TO BE QUITE AN EMOTIONAL EXPERIENCE. IT'S BEEN A LONG, STRANGE SIX YEARS, SO I'M SURE IT'LL ALL COME FLOODING OUT ON THE DAY. AUSTRALIAN ROCK BAND JET WILL ALSO RE-FORM FOR THIS AUSTRALASIA TOUR. TICKETS GO ON SALE NEXT WEEK. HANNAH MILLS, ONE NEWS. JUST AHEAD ` WE LIFT THE LID ON A WORLD-BEATING FORMULA. THE SECRET BEHIND THE ALL BLACKS' LATE-GAME DOMINATION IS REVEALED. 14 TESTS AND COUNTING ` THE ALL BLACKS LOOK UNBEATABLE RIGHT NOW.

AND IT'S GONNA BE TROY ANYWAY. TRUST IS IMPORTANT IN EVERYTHING ` RELATIONSHIPS ` AND RUGBY'S THE SAME. YOU KNOW, IF YOU DON'T HAVE THE TRUST, THEN YOU'RE NOT GONNA TRUST THAT YOUR MATE'S GONNA HAVE YOUR BACK WHEN YOU NEED HIM. SO, YEAH, IT'S VERY IMPORTANT.
