TONIGHT ` FROM RICH GUY TO CAT ENEMY AND NOW POLITICAL PLAYER. GARETH MORGAN PUTS HIS HAT INTO THE ELECTION RING, ANNOUNCING A NEW PARTY. BOTH CAMPS HAVE PULLED OUT THEIR BIG GUNS AS VOTING DAY EDGES CLOSER IN THE US. THEY'RE NOW FOCUSING ON THE BATTLEGROUND STATES. SHE ALLEGEDLY MADE BROWNS ISLAND BLACKENED ISLAND BECAUSE SHE SAYS SHE WAS STUCK THERE SINCE MONDAY. WHAT IS REALLY BEHIND THIS BLAZE? DUE TO THE LIVE NATURE OF TONIGHT, WE APOLOGISE FOR THE LACK OF CAPTIONS FOR SOME ITEMS. HE'S RICH, OPINIONATED AND FAMOUS FOR A CAMPAIGN TARGETING DOMESTIC CATS. NOW GARETH MORGAN WANTS TO BE KNOWN FOR POLITICS. THE 63-YEAR-OLD LAUNCHED HIS NEW POLITICAL PARTY AT PARLIAMENT TODAY, AND THE MOVE IS ALREADY ATTRACTING ATTENTION AND SOME CONTROVERSY. BRIAR WELLS REPORTS. TODAY I'M LAUNCHING A POLITICAL PARTY. WE'RE CALLING IT THE OPPORTUNITIES PARTY. GARETH MORGAN IS ALL FOR A GOOD CAMPAIGN. HIS LATEST IS A POLITICAL ONE. IT'S NEARLY GUY FAWKES DAY, I GUESS, SO I'M HERE TO SORTA LIGHT A FUSE UNDER THIS PLACE. FORMING 'THE OPPORTUNITIES PARTY' AHEAD OF THE NEXT ELECTION, TARGETING ISSUES LIKE POVERTY, HOUSING AFFORDABILITY AND THE ENVIRONMENT. WHAT I WANT TO SEE US DO IS NUDGE, PUSH, SHOVE THE ESTABLISHMENT PARTIES, WHOEVER THE GOVERNMENT IS, TO MAKING A REAL DIFFERENCE ON THE PROSPECTS FOR NZERS. THE BUSINESSMAN AND PHILANTHROPIST HAS A REPUTATION FOR BEING OUTSPOKEN, PARTICULARLY FOR HIS CONTROVERSIAL ANTI-CAT CAMPAIGN. HE COULD CAPTURE, I IMAGINE, VOTERS THAT ARE FAIRLY AFFLUENT, VOTING FOR NATIONAL. HE'S MORE LIKELY TO PICK UP VOTES FROM OPPOSITION PARTIES BECAUSE HE SEES HIMSELF AS WANTING TO PROMOTE CHANGE AWAY FROM THE EXISTING STATUS QUO. THE PARTY WILL BE LIST ONLY, ITS LEADER SAYING HE WOULD BE HAPPY TO WORK WITH EITHER NATIONAL OR LABOUR. I'VE HAD DISCUSSIONS WITH GARETH, AND CERTAINLY HIS` I THINK HIS FOUNDATION, OR AT LEAST HIS OFFICE, HIS RESEARCHERS, HAVE BEEN IN TOUCH WITH US, AND OF COURSE HE'S DONE SOME GREAT WORK. HIS TILT AT THE BEEHIVE QUICKLY DRAWS COMPARISON TO FELLOW RICH-LISTER KIM DOTCOM'S ATTEMPT TO GET INTO POLITICS LAST ELECTION. HE ISN'T TAINTED IN THE SAME WAY THAT KIM DOTCOM WAS. YES, HE'S WELL-OFF. SO WAS COLIN CRAIG. SO WAS BOB JONES. KIM DOTCOM? I CAN THINK OF SOMETHING BETTER. HOW ABOUT TRUMP? IN HIS HOME TOWN OF WELLINGTON, REACTION WAS MIXED. IF IT'S GOING TO BE ANYTHING TO DO WITH HIS POLICY ON CATS, GOD FORBID HE'S GOT ANYTHING TO DO WITH TREASURY. I LIKE THE MAN, I LIKE HIS VIEWS, I LIKE WHAT HE'S GOT TO SAY. ALREADY FACING CRITICISM OVER THE CHOICE OF PARTY LOGO AND ITS SIMILARITIES TO THE RED PEAK FLAG. THE DESIGNERS QUICK TO DISTANCE THEMSELVES, SAYING THEY WEREN'T CONSULTED. THE OPPORTUNITIES PARTY'S SPECIFIC POLICIES WON'T BE ANNOUNCED TILL NEXT MONTH, BUT JUST HOURS AFTERS IT LAUNCHED, IT ALREADY HAD MORE THAN 200 PEOPLE REGISTERING THEMSELVES AS MEMBERS. SUPPORT GARETH MORGAN IS COUNTING ON TO GET IN THERE. BRIAR WELLS, 1 NEWS. LABOUR PARTY MEMBERS HAVE GATHERED IN AUCKLAND FOR THE PARTY'S ANNUAL CONFERENCE THIS WEEKEND. LEADER ANDREW LITTLE ADMITS THE PARTY STILL HAS A WAY TO GO TO WIN OVER VOTERS AT NEXT YEAR'S ELECTION BUT SAYS HE'S NOT WORRIED ABOUT GARETH MORGAN'S NEW PARTY. NO, COS I BACK MYSELF AND I BACK THE LABOUR PARTY AS A PARTY THAT IS CAPABLE OF COMING UP WITH THE PRACTICAL SOLUTIONS TO THE MAJOR ISSUES OF TODAY, AND RUNNING A HARD, DETERMINED CAMPAIGN NEXT YEAR, PRESENTING A VERY CLEAR CHOICE TO VOTERS ABOUT, YOU KNOW, WHAT THE ALTERNATIVES ARE AND SAYING, 'IF YOU WANT TO CHANGE WHAT'S GOING WRONG RIGHT NOW, 'IF YOU WANNA IMPROVE WHAT'S WRONG WITH NZ, 'IF YOU WANT TO BETTER NZ, 'THEN THE ONLY WAY IS TO CHANGE THE GOVERNMENT.' AND WE OFFER, AS SOME OF THE IDEAS WE'RE PUTTING UP, THE BEST CHANGE GOING. WITH JUST DAYS TO GO BEFORE THE US ELECTION, DONALD TRUMP'S WIFE MELANIA HAS GIVEN A RARE CAMPAIGN SPEECH. SHE PLEDGED TO COMBAT CYBER BULLYING IF SHE BECAME FIRST LADY. MEANWHILE, THE TWO PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES HAVE BEEN CAMPAIGNING HEAD TO HEAD IN NORTH CAROLINA. THE ABC'S ZOE DANIEL WITH THIS. DONALD TRUMP'S BETTER HALF, WHO TOLD HER STORY AS AN IMMIGRANT WHO HAS EMBRACED THE AMERICAN DREAM. NO ONE VALUES THE FREEDOM AND OPPORTUNITY OF AMERICA MORE THAN ME. IN HER FIRST SOLO SPEECH SINCE BEING CAUGHT OUT FOR PLAGIARISING MICHELLE OBAMA IN JULY, SHE LAID OUT HER AGENDA IF SHE BECOMES FIRST LADY. ONE PRIORITY ` TACKLING AGGRESSIVE SOCIAL MEDIA BEHAVIOUR, EVEN THOUGH HER HUSBAND IS KNOWN FOR IT. WE HAVE TO FIND A BETTER WAY TO TALK TO EACH OTHER, TO DISAGREE WITH EACH OTHER, TO RESPECT EACH OTHER. PENNSYLVANIA IS A MUST-WIN IF MR TRUMP IS TO TAKE THE WHITE HOUSE. NORTH CAROLINA IS ANOTHER KEY BATTLEGROUND, WHERE THE REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE'S SUPPORTERS QUEUED FOR HOURS TODAY. POLLS SHOW IT'S TIED, BUT THEY DISAGREE. I'M ABSOLUTELY CONFIDENT. I THINK HE'S GOING TO WIN ALL OF HIS STATES BY LANDSLIDES. SOME INVOKED THE LORD, PRAYING FOR VICTORY. TRUMP: WE'RE GONNA DO IT! BUT MR TRUMP ISN'T CALLING FOR DIVINE INTERVENTION ` JUST PEOPLE POWER. TRUMP FOR PRESIDENT! IN FIVE DAYS, WE'RE GOING TO WIN THE GREAT STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA, AND WE ARE GOING TO WIN BACK THE WHITE HOUSE. NORTH CAROLINA IS A KEY STATE, LOST BY BARACK OBAMA IN 2012, AND HILLARY CLINTON WANTS TO WIN IT BACK. WITH THE RACE THIS TIGHT, SHE NEEDS TO. WITH DONALD TRUMP SET TO WIN ELSEWHERE, LIKE OHIO, WHICH BARACK OBAMA WON IN THE LAST ELECTION. MRS CLINTON CONTINUED TO MOCK HER RIVAL HERE. THIS IS SOMEONE WHO HAD ANOTHER RALLY YESTERDAY, ACTUALLY SAID OUT LOUD TO HIMSELF, 'STAY ON POINT, DONALD. STAY ON POINT.' THE LATEST NATIONAL POLL HAS MRS CLINTON UP BY THREE, BUT HER NATIONAL AVERAGE LEAD HAS DWINDLED TO 1.7. OUR POLITICAL EDITOR CORIN DANN IS IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA WITH THE CLINTON CAMPAIGN AS THEY TRY MOBILISE VOTERS TO GET TO THE POLLS NEXT WEEK. HE FILED THIS REPORT FROM ONE OF MRS CLINTON'S CAMPAIGN OFFICES IN SANTA MONICA. A PHONE BANK IN SANTA MONICA, IN CALIFORNIA, AND THE PEOPLE YOU CAN SEE BEHIND ME ARE PART OF HILLARY CLINTON'S FAMOUS GROUND GANG. THEY ARE RINGING UP VOTERS AND ENCOURAGING THEM TO GET OUT AND VOTE AND JUST EXPLAINING TO THEM HOW THAT MIGHT BE MADE A LITTLE BIT EASIER AND THE NEED TO DO IT. IT IS A CRUCIAL PART OF HER STRATEGY AND COULD BE A REALLY CRUCIAL FACTOR IF SHE IS TO SEE OFF THIS LATE SURGE BY DONALD TRUMP. HE IS MAKING GROUND, AND SO EVERY VOTE COUNTS, AND THEY CANNOT WASTE A SINGLE MOMENT OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS. NOW, WHAT THESE VOTERS HERE ARE DOING IS NOT RINGING VOTERS IN CALIFORNIA; THEY ARE RINGING VOTERS IN THE SWING STATES ` COLORADO, NEVADA, AND OTHERS LIKE THAT. PENNSYLVANIA, ARIZONA ` ANOTHER TWO THAT WILL DEFINITELY BE IN PLAY. SO THIS IS CRUCIAL STUFF FOR THE DEMOCRATS. THERE'S A SENSE HERE OF, WELL, ANXIETY, NOT PANIC, BUT CERTAINLY CONCERN THAT THE POLLS ARE TIGHTENING, AND A SENSE THAT THEY REALLY MUST TRY AND DO EVERYTHING THEY CAN TO MAKE SURE HILLARY CLINTON WINS. THAT WAS POLITICAL EDITOR CORIN DANN FROM SANTA MONICA IN CALIFORNIA. POLICE ARE WARNING DRIVERS TO TAKE MORE CARE AS A HORROR WEEK PUSHES THE ROAD TOLL FURTHER AHEAD OF LAST YEAR'S TOTAL. 15 FATALITIES IN JUST SEVEN DAYS HAVE TAKEN THE TOLL TO 277. POLICE SAY THERE ARE STILL TOO MANY PEOPLE NOT WEARING SEAT BELTS. WITH THE WAY THINGS ARE GOING AT THE MOMENT, THE ROAD DEATHS WILL BE WELL OVER 330 KILLED. SO, AT THE CURRENT RATE, AROUND ANOTHER 50 NZERS WILL HAVE BEEN KILLED IN ROAD CRASHES BY JUST AFTER CHRISTMAS. 319 PEOPLE DIED ON THE ROADS LAST YEAR. THERE'S MYSTERY TONIGHT OVER A MAROONED WOMAN WHO STARTED THE FIRE ON AN ISLAND IN AUCKLAND'S HAURAKI GULF. THE FIRE'S BEEN CONTAINED, BUT POLICE STILL WANT TO KNOW HOW SHE GOT TO BROWNS ISLAND AND SAY THEY HAVE CONCERNS FOR HER MENTAL WELLBEING. SAM KELWAY REPORTS. AS THEY BATTLED A BLAZE ON BROWNS ISLAND, FIRE CREWS ENCOUNTERED THE UNEXPECTED. THE POLICE QUICKLY GOT THE LADY TO ONE SIDE SO THAT WE COULD GO ABOUT OUR FIRE-SUPPRESSION ACTIVITY, AND THE POLICE HAVE BEEN TALKING WITH THE LADY. THE 30-YEAR-OLD WAS PICKED UP BY THE POLICE VESSEL DEODAR AND TAKEN TO HOSPITAL, WITH INJURIES UNRELATED TO THE FIRE. MORE THAN 20 FIREFIGHTERS FACED CHALLENGING CONDITIONS AS THE BLAZE BURNED THROUGH THE NIGHT AND INTO THE MORNING. THE WIND BEHIND IT EARLY EVENING, AND LATER IN THE EVENING YESTERDAY, IT DID PUSH IT UP THE HILL AND JUMPED OVER THE TOP. FROM THE AIR, THE EXTENT OF THE DEVASTATION WAS CLEAR. THE SCARRED VEGETATION SHOWING HOW QUICKLY THE FLAMES SPREAD. IT HAS BURNT 13 HECTARES OF THE ISLAND, BUT THE KIKUYU GRASS WILL REVEGETATE AND COVER THAT SCAR UP VERY QUICKLY. POLICE ARE STILL TRYING TO ESTABLISH HOW THE WOMAN BECAME STRANDED ON THE ISLAND. SHE TOLD THEM SHE'D BEEN THERE SINCE MONDAY AFTERNOON AND HAD ACCESS TO A SMALL AMOUNT OF FOOD. SHE STARTED LIGHTING FIRES TO ATTRACT ATTENTION. LAST NIGHT ONE OF THOSE FIRES STARTED BURNING OUT OF CONTROL. BROWNS ISLAND, OR MOTUKOREA, HAS SIGNIFICANT MAORI AND EUROPEAN HISTORY. IT'S PEST-FREE AND HOME TO THE ENDANGERED DOTTEREL. THE DEPARTMENT OF CONSERVATION HELPED FERRY FIREFIGHTERS TO AND FROM THE ISLAND AND WILL ASSESS THE DAMAGE. THE FIRE SERVICE IS STILL DAMPENING DOWN HOTSPOTS, WHILE POLICE TRY TO ESTABLISH HOW AND WHY THE WOMAN ENDED UP ALONE ON THE ISLAND FOR THREE NIGHTS. SAM KELWAY, 1 NEWS. A MAN (21) AND A TEENAGE BOY HAVE BEEN ARRESTED IN CONNECTION WITH A MAJOR BUSHFIRE IN SYDNEY'S WEST. HUNDREDS OF FIREFIGHTERS BATTLED TO CONTAIN THE BLAZE, WHICH HAS DESTROYED AT LEAST ONE HOME. THE ABC'S STEPHANIE DALZELL REPORTS. SIREN WAILS THE FIRE FRONT STRETCHED HALF A KILOMETRE AS IT TORE THROUGH CRANEBROOK TO LLANDILO IN WESTERN SYDNEY. THEY ATTACKED IT FROM THE AIR AND FROM THE GROUND, WITH HUNDREDS OF FIREFIGHTERS IN ACTION. PANICKED RESIDENTS TRIED TO GET HOME TO SEE IF THEY STILL HAD ONE. THE FIRE'S OUT? IT IS, YEAH. OK. ANY HOUSES? I DON'T KNOW. LOCALS RECEIVED TEXT MESSAGES URGING THEM TO SEEK SHELTER, AND STRONG WINDS PUSHED THE FIRE IN A SOUTH-EASTERLY DIRECTION, TOWARDS MORE HOMES. THE PRIORITY FOR FIREFIGHTERS WAS TO PROTECT PROPERTIES, PUTTING OUT MANY SPOT FIRES SPARKED BY FLYING EMBERS. I WASN'T HERE. I JUST RAN HOME FROM WORK. MY MOTHER-IN-LAW RANG ME, SAYING, YOU KNOW, 'GET OUT. THERE'S A FIRE.' SO I JUST TOOK OFF, AND THEN I COME TO THIS. BUT NOT EVERYTHING COULD BE SAVED FROM THE FEROCIOUS FLAMES. OH, OBVIOUSLY I COULDN'T GET TO ME CAR, MATE. IT'S BURNT TO THE GROUND. IT WAS LIKE THE END OF THE WORLD. CRAZY. TWO SCHOOLS AND A NURSING HOME WERE ALSO EVACUATED AND DRIVERS URGED TO STAY AWAY, WITH SEVERAL ROAD CLOSURES. SIRENS WAIL AS INVESTIGATIONS INTO THE CAUSE OF THE FIRE CONTINUE, POLICE ARRESTED A BOY (17) AND MAN (21). THESE ARRESTS COULD NOT HAVE BEEN POSSIBLE WITHOUT THE SUPPORT OF THE COMMUNITY REPORTING WHAT THEY CONSIDERED TO BE SUSPICIOUS ACTIVITY AND THE BEHAVIOUR OF THESE INDIVIDUALS. AND IT IS THAT INFORMATION THAT RESULTED IN THIS VERY TIMELY AND VERY PROMPT BREAKTHROUGH IN THE ARREST. THANKFULLY, I CAN NOW CONFIRM THAT THE FIRE HAS JUST BEEN CONTAINED AT AROUND 300HA IN SIZE. THERE IS STILL A LOT OF WORK TO DO OVER THE COMING HOURS, WITH A NUMBER OF TREES THAT ARE STILL ON FIRE. AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE FOR OWNERS OF THE SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE 7 SMARTPHONE NOW ` IT WILL NO LONGER WORK ON ANY MOBILE NETWORK HERE FROM FRIDAY THE 18TH ONWARDS. SAMSUNG SAYS NETWORK SERVICES FOR THE PHONE WILL BE DISCONTINUED ACROSS ALL NZ PROVIDERS. THE COMPANY'S URGING CUSTOMERS TO RETURN THE DEVICES FOR A REPLACEMENT OR REFUND. THE NOTE 7 WAS PART OF A GLOBAL RECALL AFTER NUMEROUS CASES OF THE MODEL EXPLODING OR CATCHING FIRE. A WARNING TONIGHT OVER A WHAT'S BEING DESCRIBED AS A 'DEMENTIA TIDAL WAVE' THAT WILL COST THE COUNTRY BILLIONS AS THE NUMBER OF SUFFERERS TREBLES IN THE NEXT 30 YEARS. ALZHEIMER'S NZ IS ASKING THE GOVERNMENT TO COMMIT MORE MONEY TO CARE FOR SUFFERERS NOW. WITH MORE, HERE'S RYAN BOSWELL. THIS IS ROBIN LANE FROM WELLINGTON, AGED... UH, 70... 80. (LAUGHS) 81. (LAUGHS) FOUR YEARS AGO, THE PRESBYTERIAN-MINISTER-TURNED-RETIREE WAS DIAGNOSED WITH DEMENTIA. I WAS GETTING A BIT FORGETFUL. AND I CAN'T REMEMBER EXACTLY WHAT TRIGGERED IT. HIS WIFE JEANETTE REMEMBERS. HE WOULD COME AND SAY, 'WHAT ARE YOU DOING TODAY, JEANETTE?' AND THIS WAS CODE FOR, 'WHAT AM I MEANT TO BE DOING TODAY?' (LAUGHS) ROBIN IS JUST ONE OF 60,000 KIWIS WHO CURRENTLY HAVE DEMENTIA. THAT NUMBER IS EXPECTED TO TRIPLE BY 2050. THE COST TO NZ ANNUALLY IS $1B. IF NOTHING IS DONE, THIS IS ACTUALLY GOING TO TURN INTO A TIDAL WAVE. CURRENTLY PEOPLE WITH DEMENTIA GET SUPPORT WHEN THEIR ILLNESS IS SO FAR GONE THEY HAVE TO BE CARED FOR IN RESIDENTIAL HOMES. ALZHEIMERS NZ WANTS THE GOVERNMENT TO FUND SUPPORT STRAIGHT AFTER DIAGNOSIS SO THEY CAN MAKE THE MOST OF LIFE. THE GOVERNMENT WOULD BENEFIT BY PUTTING IN THE TIME AND MONEY NOW, BECAUSE IT WOULD REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF FUNDING THEY NEED FOR PEOPLE IN LONGER-TERM CARE. THE GOVERNMENT DID NOT ADDRESS THE PROPOSED STRATEGY, INSTEAD POINTING TO THE EXTRA $100M IT'S SPENDING ON DEMENTIA SERVICE, AND SAYS DISTRICT HEALTH BOARDS HAVE BEEN TASKED TO DEVELOP DEMENTIA CARE. THAT'S LITTLE COMFORT FOR ROBIN AND JEANETTE, WHO WOULD LIKE MORE HELP NOW. I'VE HAD TO LEARN WHAT IS IMPORTANT AND WHAT IS NOT. THIS COUPLE IS HOPING THERE ARE MORE POSITIVES MOVING FORWARD. RYAN BOSWELL, 1 NEWS. FOR MORE THAN FIVE YEARS, THEY'VE BEEN A FEATURE OFCHRISTCHURCH ` MILLIONS OF DOLLARS WORTH OF ORANGE ROAD CONES. BUT THOSE CONES ARE NOT ALL WHERE THEY SHOULD BE, SO A SPECIAL TEAM'S BEEN SET UP TO HUNT THEM DOWN. SAM CLARKE WENT WITH THEM. ICONS OF CHRISTCHURCH ` THE CATHEDRAL, THE GARDENS AND ROAD CONES ` THOUSANDS UPON THOUSANDS OF ROAD CONES. OVER THE FIVE AND A HALF YEARS OF THE REBUILD, WE'VE PROBABLY DEPLOYED ABOUT 100,00 ALL UP. THOUGH NOT ALL OF THEM ARE WHERE THEY SHOULD BE. THERE'S SOME ON BUILDINGS, BUS SHELTERS, JAMMED OVER TRAFFIC BOLLARDS. YOU NAME IT, THEY'RE EVERYWHERE. MEET COLIN AND AARON. ICE CREAM CONES. CONE MAN. CONE MAN, YEAH. CONE HEAD. BOTH LAUGH AND TOGETHER... WE'RE WITH THE STRONGER CHRISTCHURCH INFRASTRUCTURE REBUILD TEAM, CONEMOBILE. LET'S DO THIS! THE SCIRT CONEMOBILE MAY NOT BE THE CATCHIEST NAME, BUT THEY'RE ON A MONTH-LONG MISSION ROUNDING UP WHAT THEY CALL 'LONELY CONES'. THEY ARE DOTTED EVERYWHERE. IT'S NOT JUST THEIR KEEN EYES, THOUGH. THE TEAM RELY ON TIP-OFFS FROM GOOD SAMARITANS LIKE THESE GUYS. UP TREES. ANYWHERE WE'RE THEY'RE NOT MEANT TO BE. AND HOW ARE THEY GETTING THERE? THEY'RE NOT WALKING THERE. NO, NO, LIGHT-FINGERED PEOPLE. (LAUGHS) AND FOR THE WAYWARD CONES OF CHRISTCHURCH, IT'S NOT ALL ABOUT SITTING ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. SOME OF THEM HAVE GONE ON TO MORE CREATIVE VENTURES. BACK ON THE HUNT FOR THEIR BRETHREN, AFTER JUST 20 MINUTES OF SEARCHING ` NOT A BAD HAUL, EH? WE'VE DONE WELL. BUT THE CITY'S STILL FAR FROM BEING CONE-FREE. I THINK THERE'LL ALWAYS BE SOMETHING HAPPENING SOMEWHERE, AND THERE WILL ALWAYS BE CONES DOING THEIR JOB OUT ON THOSE SITES, SO WE'RE STUCK WITH THEM FOR A LONG TIME YET. UNTIL THEN, WHO YOU GONNA CALL? THE CONEMOBILE! HURRAY! SAM CLARKE, 1 NEWS JUST AHEAD ` ANY HOPE THE LAST PUSH INTO MOSUL WOULD BE EASY ARE SCUPPERED, FOLLOWING THE LATEST COMMAND TO HIS TROOPS FROM THE ISIS LEADER. OUR $100M MAN FRONTED FOR A GRUDGE MATCH TODAY. HOW DID STEVEN ADAMS' OKC DO AGAINST THEIR FORMER KING PIN? CHOOSE LIFE, CHOOSE A CAREER, CHOOSE A WRAP ON THE WEEK'S ENTERTAINMENT STUFF, INCLUDING A VERY UNLIKELY SEQUEL TO A 90S HEROIN HIT. ISIS LEADER ABU BAKR AL-BAGHDADI HAS TOLD HIS TROOPS TO FIGHT TO THE DEATH TO KEEP MOSUL, BUT COALITION FORCES BELIEVE IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THE CITY IS RETAKEN. THE BBC'S IAN PANNEL IS IN MOSUL WHERE THE BEGINNINGS OF A HUMANITARIAN CRISIS ARE BEING SEEN ON THE CITY'S ROADS. GUNFIRE A NEW DAWN OVER MOSUL AND THE PROSPECT, PERHAPS, OF A BRIGHTER FUTURE. GUNFIRE BUT THE VOLLEYS OF GUNFIRE SHOULD REMIND EVERYONE THAT THIS BATTLE IS FAR FROM DONE. (SPEAKS FOREIGN LANGUAGE) COUNTER-TERRORISM SOLDIERS PUSHED INTO THE SUBURBS OF MOSUL TWO DAYS AGO. NOW THEY HAVE TO SECURE THE GROUND THEY'VE TAKEN. THERE COULD BE AS MANY AS 6,000 FIGHTERS LOYAL TO THE SO-CALLED ISLAMIC STATE HERE. TODAY THEIR LEADER ORDERED HIS MEN TO STAND AND FIGHT TO THE DEATH. MANY MILITANTS HAVE HIDDEN IN PEOPLE'S HOMES, USING TUNNELS AND RAT RUNS TO MOVE FREELY. LIFE IN THE CALIPHATE HAS BEEN PUNISHING FOR SO MANY, BUT ABOVE ALL, FOR THE WOMEN OF MOSUL. THEY'VE BEEN BEATEN, RAPED, IMPRISONED AND FORCED TO LIVE A LIFE OF SERVITUDE BEHIND CLOSED DOORS. THE PEOPLE OF IRAQ HAVE ENDURED 13 YEARS OF WAR, AND THE SUFFERING NEVER SEEMS TO END. CHILDREN WITH SHRAPNEL AND BROKEN LIMBS, BOYS WITH BULLET WOUNDS ` ALL VICTIMS OF A WAR THEY DIDN'T CHOOSE THAT BEEN IMPOSSIBLE TO ESCAPE, BUT AS THE GROUND'S MADE SAFE, THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT'S HAPPENING. THOSE WHO CAN GET OUT ARE. WATCH WHAT'S HAPPENING HERE, BECAUSE THIS COULD BE THE START OF THE HUMANITARIAN CRISIS MANY HAVE FEARED. 20,000 PEOPLE HAVE BEEN DISPLACED IN 20 DAYS, ALMOST HALF OF THEM CHILDREN. AND AS REFUGEES FLEE, ISIS FIGHTERS AND THEIR FAMILIES ARE SAID TO BE CROSSING THE TIGRIS RIVER IN MOSUL TO THE MORE DEFENDABLE WESTERN SIDE OF THE CITY. IT'S BEEN A BUSY END TO THE WEEK IN THE ENTERTAINMENT WORLD WE'VE GOT DOLLY PARTON, BEYONCE AND THE RETURN OF THE MOVIE 'TRAINSPOTTING'. HERE'S ZAC FLEMING WITH THE HIGHLIGHTS. HELLO, MARK. SO WHAT YOU BEEN UP TO, FOR 20 YEARS? DO YOU STILL TAKE HEROIN? NO. THE IMPORTANT QUESTIONS HAVE BEEN ASKED. NOW A RELEASE DATE'S BEEN SET FOR THE SEQUEL OF CULT 90S MOVIE TRAINSPOTTING. THE FOUR ORIGINAL CAST MEMBERS RETURN JANUARY 27, WITH BOTH ITS CINEMATOGRAPHY... YOU'RE AN ADDICT, SO E ADDICTED. ...AND ITS PLOT PAYING HOMAGE. CHOOSE A ZERO HOUR CONTRACT, A TWO HOUR JOURNEY TO WORK, AND CHOOSE THE SAME FOR YOUR KIDS ONLY WORSE, AND SMOTHER THE PAIN WITH AN UNKNOWN DOSE OF AN UNKNOWN DRUG MADE IN SOMEBODY'S KITCHEN. STICKING WITH DRUG ADDICTS, DESPITE HER POLICE MOTORCADE AND ADDED SECURITY, NOBODY SEEMED TO CARE THE DUCHESS OF CAMBRIDGE TURNED UP TO THE WORLD PREMIERE OF NEW MOVIE 'A STREETCAT NAMED BOB', BECAUSE EVERYONE WAS FOCUSSED ON BOB. BOB IS SO CHILLED OUT. WHY IS HE SO RELAXED? BECAUSE HE IS ONE OF THE GUYS, AND LONDON IS HIS TERRITORY. SORRY, TO CLARIFY, KATE'S NOT A DRUG ADDICT. THE MOVIE'S ABOUT A HOMELESS DRUG ADDICT WHO GETS SAVED BY A CAT. BUT LET'S CONTINUE WITH THE DRUG THEME AT THE AMERICAN COUNTRY MUSIC AWARDS. BEYONCE MADE A SURPRISE PERFORMANCE, AND THE QUEEN OF COUNTRY, DOLLY PARTON, WAS HONOURED WITH A LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD. OF COURSE FOR ME TO BE RECEIVING THE WILLIE NELSON AWARD,... (CHUCKLES) THIS IS AN ABSOLUTE HIGH FOR ME. (LAUGHS) AND NOT ONLY HAVE WE GOT A TRAINSPOTTING SEQUEL, BLONDIE, U2 AND MEATLOAF ALL WON AT LONDON'S Q AWARDS. DOORBELL RINGS WHAT'S ON THE MENU THIS EVENING, SIR? CLOSE YOUR EYES, AND IT COULD BE 1999. ZAC FLEMING, 1 NEWS. JUST AHEAD ` WEATHER IN D MINOR USING A � TIME SIGNATURE.
