TONIGHT, HOME AT LAST TO RELIEVED FAMILIES AND FRIENDS ` WELLINGTONIANS FERRY BACK INTO THE CAPITAL, WHERE TWO MORE BUILDINGS HAVE BEEN CONDEMNED. SIX PEOPLE ARE BADLY HURT AFTER AN EXPLOSION RIPS THROUGH A BANK IN MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA. AND UN-PRESIDENTIAL? DONALD TRUMP'S UNDER FIRE AFTER HIS FIRST MEETING WITH A FOREIGN LEADER. DUE TO THE LIVE NATURE OF TONIGHT, WE APOLOGISE FOR THE LACK OF CAPTIONS FOR SOME ITEMS. MEANWHILE IN WELLINGTON, THREE LARGE BUILDINGS ARE NOW FACING DEMOLITION, AND THE CITY'S MAYOR EXPECTS MORE WILL BE ADDED TO THE LIST. IT COMES AS JUSTIN LESTER FACES FURTHER CRITICISM ABOUT HIS COUNCIL'S DECISION TO ALLOW THE CBD TO REOPEN SO SOON AFTER MONDAY'S QUAKE. BUT THERE IS SOME UPLIFTING NEWS ` SOME PARENTS WILL BE SLEEPING EASIER TONIGHT, AS THEIR CHILDREN ARRIVE HOME FROM AFTER ONE WILD FIELD TRIP. SEAN HOGAN REPORTS. STUDENTS REUNITED WITH RELIEVED FAMILIES AFTER MONDAY'S EARTHQUAKE LEFT THEM WITH SCARY STORIES. EVERYONE IN OUR CABIN WAS JUST SCRAMBLING AROUND. THE GROUPS FROM SCHOOLS AROUND WELLINGTON WERE ON END-OF-YEAR FIELD TRIPS WHEN THE EARTHQUAKE STRUCK. OUR BED WAS ON WHEELS, AND SO WE WERE KIND OF, LIKE, ROLLING AROUND. < WERE YOU SCARED AT ALL? YEAH. WE WERE, LIKE, FREAKING OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF IT. VERY HAPPY FOR THEM TO BE HOME. ABLE TO ARRIVE HOME ON TIME, WITH ALL BUT ONE OF COOK STRAIT FERRIES BACK TO FULL OPERATION. BUT THERE'S STILL DOUBT OVER MANY BUILDINGS IN AND AROUND THE CBD. STATISTICS NZ BUILDING ON PORT LAND IS LIKELY TO BE DEMOLISHED, ALONG WITH THIS WELLINGTON CAR PARK AND 61 MOLESWORTH ST, BOTH AT "IMMINENT RISK OF COLLAPSE", AND THAT MIGHT NOT BE THE END OF IT. THERE MAY BE SOME BUILDINGS, SOME PRIVATE BUILDINGS THAT MAY NEED TO COME DOWN. SO WE'LL DO THAT ASSESSMENT IN TIME. THE LIST OF CORDONED-OFF BUILDINGS IS GROWING BY THE DAY, AS THEY'RE RECHECKED AFTER EACH MAJOR AFTERSHOCK, THOUSANDS OF WORKERS AROUND THE BUSINESS DISTRICT LEFT WONDERING WHEN THEY'LL BE BACK ON THE JOB. < DO YOU THINK WE WERE LET INTO THE CITY TOO SOON AFTER THE QUAKES? GIVEN WHAT'S HAPPENED SINCE, YES, I DO. YEAH, I AM A BIT CONCERNED ABOUT IT, DO I FEEL SAFE? I THINK SO. BUT WELLINGTON'S MAYOR IS DEFENDING HIS DECISION NOT TO DECLARE THE CAPITAL'S CBD A RED ZONE. LOOK THERE ARE TWO OPTIONS. THERE'S ONE OPTION YOU COULD CLOSE DOWN THE ENTIRE CBD, WHICH YOU'D ONLY DO IN A WORSE-CASE SCENARIO, WHERE THERE'S BEEN CATASTROPHIC FAILURE, OR THERE'S ANOTHER OPTION TO MANAGE THE RISK. HIS DECISION BACKED BY THE BIGGER POWERS. WHERE THERE IS ANY SIGN THAT A BUILDING IS UNSAFE, PEOPLE ARE BEING EVACUATED, IT IS BEING CORDONED, AND I SUSPECT A DEMOLITION PROGRAMME WILL BE IN FULL SWING NEXT WEEK. BUT WITH ENGINEERS CHECKING BUILDINGS AFTER EVERY MAGNITUDE-FIVE AFTERSHOCK, LANDLORDS HAVE BEEN WARNED. IF LANDLORDS DON'T HAND OVER THE INFORMATION THAT THEY HAVE ABOUT THEIR BUILDING TO THEIR CLIENTS, IN OTHER WORDS, THEIR TENANTS, THEN THEY'RE IN BREACH OF THE LAW. THOSE PROBLEMS ASIDE, THESE FAMILIES ARE JUST HAPPY TO BE HOME TOGETHER. SEAN HOGAN, 1 NEWS. AN OUTBREAK OF A NASTY STOMACH BUG HAS BEEN REPORTED IN THE QUAKE-HIT NORTH CANTERBURY TOWN OF WAIAU. FOUR PEOPLE HAVE FALLEN ILL FROM NOROVIRUS. THAT COMES AS A MASSIVE LAND, SEA AND AIR OPERATION HAS SEEN CRITICAL ITEMS LIKE FOOD, WATER AND CHEMICAL TOILETS DELIVERED TO THE ISOLATED COMMUNITY OF KAIKOURA TODAY. WILL HINE REPORTS. A WELCOME SIGHT AFTER FIVE DAYS LARGELY CUT OFF FROM THE OUTSIDE WORLD. HELICOPTERS LIFTED LOAD AFTER LOAD FROM HMNZS CANTERBURY BEFORE DROPPING THEM OFF AT THE LOCAL HIGH SCHOOL. THERE'S A LOT OF HELICOPTER TRAFFIC IN THE AREA TODAY. THE SUPPLIES WERE BROUGHT TO A LOCAL HALL AND PASSED INSIDE, EVERYONE LENDING A HAND. DON'T NEED TO GO TO THE GYM NOW. THE AUSTRALIANS, CANADIANS AND AMERICANS ALSO DROPPED IN, THEIR CHOPPERS FILLING THE SKY AND THEIR SAILORS HELPING OUT ON THE STREETS. THE CREW WAS 100% BEHIND COMING DOWN HERE. IN A WAY, IT'S OUR OWN LITTLE FLEET REVIEW. THIS IS WHAT WE DO. WE LOVE DOING IT, AND WE'RE GLAD TO BE HERE. OTHERS WERE JUMPING IN THE HELICOPTERS; THIS MUM AND HER CHILDREN CHOOSING TO GET OUT, THE TRAUMA OF THE QUAKES JUST TOO MUCH. IT WASN'T TILL LAST NIGHT WHEN I READ THAT, YOU KNOW, THERE'S BIG CHANCES OF ANOTHER BIG ONE. THAT CANYON OUT THERE IS MY MAIN CONCERN. DAD STAYING BEHIND TO LOOK AFTER THE ANIMALS. IT'S PRETTY HEART-BREAKING, AND YEAH. < A HARD DECISION. 160 MORE PEOPLE HAVE ASKED TO LEAVE SINCE WEDNESDAY'S LARGE EVACUATION. MOST WILL LEAVE ON THE CANTERBURY. WITH THE TOILETS OUT OF OPERATION ALL WEEK AND EXPECTED TO BE LIKE THAT FOR ANOTHER FEW MONTHS, THIS IS WHAT LOCAL RESIDENTS HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR ` CHEMICAL TOILETS, ONE FOR EVERY HOUSEHOLD IN TOWN. EACH ONE GRATEFULLY RECEIVED. I'VE GOT A CROOK WIFE ` SHE CAN'T STAND FOR VERY MANY MINUTES, SHE CAN'T WALK VERY FAR. SUPPORT FOR THOSE ON THE GROUND KEEPS ON COMING. THIS FOOD WAS SENT BY DARFIELD RESIDENTS WHO HAVE LIVED THROUGH THE CANTERBURY QUAKES. EACH ONE LOVINGLY SORT OF PACKED UP, WHICH MEANS AN AWFUL LOT TO THE GUYS HERE. READS:WE'VE LEARNED THROUGH THE EARTHQUAKES TO BE THERE FOR EACH OTHER, TO HELP IN WHEREVER WE CAN. THE ARMY ALSO ARRIVED AFTER A ROUGH RIDE THROUGH AN INLAND ROAD, THE JOURNEY HELD UP FOR MORE THAN 24 HOURS ALONG THE WAY. WE'RE GONNA BE FEEDING THE HOSPITAL STAFF AND THE PATIENTS THERE. THE OTHER THINGS WE'RE GONNA BE DOING IS ESTABLISHING SOME FOOD AND WATER POINTS AND FUEL POINTS TO SUPPORT THE EMERGENCY SERVICES. BUT MAKE IT THEY DID, THE TRUCKS ROLLING INTO TOWN LATE AFTERNOON. THREE MEN HAVE BEEN ARRESTED FOR LOOTING AN ABANDONED TRAIN AFTER THE EARTHQUAKE. THE TRAIN IS STUCK JUST NORTH OF KAIKOURA. POLICE RECEIVED A REPORT THE TRAIN HAD BEEN BURGLED ON WEDNESDAY NIGHT. THE GROUP OF LOCAL MEN HAVE SINCE HANDED THEMSELVES IN. SOME OF THE STOLEN PROPERTY HAS BEEN RETRIEVED, AND EFFORTS ARE UNDERWAY TO FIND THE REST. BEEN CRITICISM OF THE TSUNAMI WARNING THAT FOLLOWED MONDAY'S EARTHQUAKE. SIRENS SOUNDED IN SOME AREAS, BUT NOT IN OTHERS. AND NOW SOME WHO LIVE ON THE COAST ARE CALLING FOR A BETTER SYSTEM. HELEN CASTLES REPORTS. TSUNAMI SIRENS RINGING IN CHRISTCHURCH ` IT WAS A NATIONAL TSUNAMI WARNING. HEARD IN NORTHLAND TOO, BUT AS PEOPLE TRIED TO FLEE, CHAOS. WE WOULD HAVE BEEN WASHED AWAY, THERE WAS JUST SO MUCH TRAFFIC. VERY CONFUSED, DIDN'T KNOW WHERE TO GO. THESE RESIDENTS LIVE AROUND 200M FROM THE BEACH AT RUAKAKA. 300M THAT WAY IS AN ALARM, AND I COULD BARELY HEAR IT. I DIDN'T HEAR THE ALARM. OTHERS DIDN'T KNOW WHAT THE SIREN MEANT. I GOOGLED, ACTUALLY, TSUNAMI WARNINGS IN NORTHLAND. AND THAT'S WHEN I REALISED WE HAD TO EVACUATE. THERE WAS ALSO CONFUSION IN WELLINGTON'S SEASIDE SUBURBS. THERE WEREN'T ANY SIRENS, NO. WE TOOK PROBABLY ABOUT TWO HOURS BEFORE WE WORKED OUT THAT THERE WAS A TSUNAMI THREAT COMING. THE ACTING CIVIL DEFENCE MINISTER ADMITTING HE'S NOT HAPPY EITHER. WELL, CIVIL DEFENCE HAS ALREADY RECOGNISED THAT WE COULD DO BETTER. AND, YOU KNOW, THERE'S BEEN ABOUT THREE OR FOUR TSUNAMI WARNINGS OVER THE FEW YEARS, AND AS I SAY, WE'RE IN THE PROCESS OF WORKING THROUGH WHAT'S NECESSARY. FOR THOSE WHO DID EVACUATE, A SURVEY IN WHANGAMATA SHOWED THAT 80% DIDN'T HAVE A SURVIVAL KIT OR MEANS TO SUSTAIN THEMSELVES. FOR OTHER COASTAL AREAS LIKE WAIHI, THE TSUNAMI SIRENS WEREN'T ACTIVATED OR WERE NON-EXISTENT. WHILE PAPAMOA RESIDENTS ARE TAKING TO FACEBOOK TO PETITION FOR SIRENS, AUCKLAND COUNCIL'S CONSIDERING WHETHER TO DO AWAY WITH THE CITY'S 44 ALARMS, NONE OF WHICH WERE ACTIVATED ON MONDAY. IT SAYS THEY REACH ONLY 8% OF THE POPULATION AND CAUSE CONFUSION. HELEN CASTLES, ONE NEWS. STAFF AT A DAY-CARE CENTRE ON AUCKLAND'S NORTH SHORE ARE BEING OFFERED SUPPORT AFTER A BOY (4) DIED THERE THIS AFTERNOON. POLICE SAY THE BOY DIED FOLLOWING A TRAGIC ACCIDENT ON THE PLAYGROUND AT ANGELS CHILDCARE. BOTH WORKSAFE AND THE POLICE ARE NOW INVESTIGATING. THE PLAYGROUND EQUIPMENT LOOKS LIKE STANDARD PLAYGROUND EQUIPMENT. BUT IT'S ONE OF THESE ACCIDENTAL THINGS THAT A PERFECT SET OF CIRCUMSTANCES WORKING TOGETHER SORT OF CAUSE A TRAGEDY, BASICALLY. COMMUNITY MEMBERS HAVE GATHERED TO LAY FLOWERS AT THE SCENE. A WEST AUCKLAND SUBURB REMAINS ON HIGH ALERT TONIGHT AFTER A BOY (11) WAS ABDUCTED AND SEXUALLY ASSAULTED. POLICE HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO INTERVIEW THE TRAUMATISED CHILD SINCE YESTERDAY'S ATTACK AND ARE WARNING RESIDENTS TO BE ON GUARD. REBECCA WRIGHT HAS THE DETAILS. AN HORRIFIC ORDEAL FOR A YOUNG BOY BEGAN AS HE WAS WALKING HOME FROM RANUI STATION ON THURSDAY. HE'S OBVIOUSLY VERY TRAUMATISED AROUND WHAT HAPPENED LAST NIGHT, AND HE'S GETTING THE SUPPORT OF HIS FAMILY. AT 3.55PM, THE BOY (11) LEFT RANUI STATION AND BEGAN WALKING UP RANUI STATION RD. HE WAS THEN APPROACHED BY A MAN IN A GREY VAN. THE MAN HAS ASKED HIM FOR DIRECTIONS AND HAS ABDUCTED THE BOY, DRIVING HIM TO AN UNKNOWN LOCATION AND SEXUALLY ASSAULTING HIM. THE BOY WAS EVENTUALLY DROPPED BACK INTO RANUI, ARRIVING HOME ABOUT 8PM, AND HIS WORRIED PARENTS HAD ALREADY REPORTED HIM MISSING. POLICE SAY THEY ARE LOOKING INTO KNOWN CHILD SEX OFFENDERS IN THE AREA AND A CRIMINAL PROFILING TEAM IS ASSISTING DETECTIVES. THE ABDUCTION HAS LEFT THIS WEST AUCKLAND SUBURB ON EDGE I NEVER THOUGHT IT WOULD ACTUALLY HAPPEN IN RANUI, COS RANUI IS A SAFE COMMUNITY. IT SHOWS THAT, LIKE, IT'S NOT SAFE HERE. LIKE, WE NEED TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. HOW COULD PEOPLE DO THAT KIND OF STUFF, ESPECIALLY TO SMALL CHILDREN? AT NEARBY HENDERSON PRIMARY SCHOOL, THE PRINCIPAL GAVE HIS STUDENTS A REFRESHER ON HOW TO STAY SAFE. YOU COULD EVEN GO TO SOMEBODY YOU TRUST FOR HELP. YOU SHOULD ALWAYS TELL MUMS AND DADS AND GRANDMUMS AND GRANDDADS IF YOU AREN'T FEELING SAFE. IT'S THE UNCERTAINTY IS SCARY. AND I'M SURE THERE'S LOTS OF PEOPLE OUT THERE WHO ARE EXTREMELY WORRIED INCLUDING OURSELVES, AND HOPEFULLY, THE PERPETRATOR CAN BE FOUND AND DEALT WITH APPROPRIATELY. A SENTIMENT ECHOED THROUGHOUT THIS COMMUNITY. REBECCA WRIGHT, 1 NEWS. FOOTAGE HAS EMERGED SHOWING A STUDENT CHARGING AT A POLICE OFFICER IN THE FAR NORTH EARLIER THIS WEEK. POLICE WERE CALLED TO TAIPA AREA SCHOOL AFTER REPORTS OF A STUDENT CARRYING A SHARP IMPLEMENT. WHEN THE STUDENT REFUSED TO COMPLY WITH POLICE REQUESTS, A BRAWL BROKE OUT. TWO OFFICERS WERE TREATED AFTER BEING AFFECTED BY PEPPER SPRAY. THREE YOUTHS WILL APPEAR IN KAITAIA YOUTH COURT NEXT WEEK. SIX PEOPLE ARE FIGHTING FOR THEIR LIVES AND DOZENS ARE INJURED AFTER AN EXPLOSION AND FIRE RIPPED THROUGH A BANK IN MELBOURNE THIS AFTERNOON. WITNESSES SAY A MAN DOUSED HIMSELF WITH PETROL BEFORE SETTING HIMSELF AND THE BUILDING ALIGHT. CHANNEL NINE'S BRETT MCLEOD REPORTS. MAYHEM ON A MELBOURNE STREET, WHERE A BANK BECAME AN INFERNO. SCREAMING WHILE THE MOST SEVERELY BURNED WERE CARRIED AWAY ON STRETCHERS, PASSERS-BY GRABBED WATER AND ICE TO TREAT THE DOZENS SUFFERING SMOKE INHALATION. THEIR TRAUMA WRITTEN ON THEIR FACES. THE OLDEST WAS IN HIS 80S. THE YOUNGEST, JUST A BABY. (SOBS) AMONG THOSE MOST SERIOUSLY INJURED, A SPRINGVALE MAN (21) BELIEVED TO HAVE IGNITED THE HORROR. HE WAS HIDING IN SOME BOXES AT THE BACK OF THE BANK. HIS LEGS WERE ALL BURNT. SKIN WAS FALLING OFF HIS LEGS. HE WAS IN A BAD STATE. THE CCTV IS BELIEVED TO HAVE CAPTURED THE MAN AFTER BUYING FUEL FROM A NEARBY PETROL STATION. AROUND 11.30, JUST INSIDE THE ENTRANCE OF THE COMMONWEALTH BANK, HE POURED IT OVER HIMSELF, AS A WOMAN, WHO WAS RIGHT NEARBY, DESCRIBES. BUT IN THE SMOKE AND DARKNESS, MANY PEOPLE COULDN'T FIND THEIR WAY OUT. JUST BLACK SMOKE. YOU COULDN'T SEE ANYTHING. ALARM SOUNDS MORE THAN TWO DOZEN AMBULANCES WERE NEEDED AT A SCENE LOOKING LIKE SOMETHING OUT OF A WAR ZONE. IN THE SEARCH FOR ANSWERS, WITNESSES SAY THE HEARD THE MAN SAYING HE WAS BROKE, HE HAD NOTHING. AT THIS POINT IN TIME, WE DON'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT HIM AT ALL. WE HAVEN'T HAD A CHANCE TO SPEAK WITH HIM. HIS IS INJURED, AND HE IS BEING ATTENDED TO AT HOSPITAL AT THIS POINT IN TIME. THE MAN REMAINS UNDER POLICE GUARD. JUST AHEAD ` CONTROVERSY AT THE NZ MUSIC AWARDS. SINGER AARADHNA CLAIMS RACISM AND CALLS FOR CHANGE. AND LOOK, NO HANDS ` SELF-DRIVING CARS ARRIVE IN NZ. AND A RECORD-BREAKING DEBUT PERFORMANCE PUTS THE BLACKCAPS ON TOP AGAINST PAKISTAN. SIX AND SIX OF THE BEST FOR COLIN DE GRANDHOMME ON DEBUT. INDICATOR CLICKS RHYTHMICALLY (GASPS) SILENCE (EXHALES SLOWLY) Mate, I'm so sorry. I thought there was time. You just pulled out. I don't have time to stop. It was a simple mistake. LOUD RUMBLING Please. (VOICE TREMBLES) I've got my boy in the back. I'm going too fast. I'm sorry. (SOBS) SEAT BELT CLICKS EERIE CREAKING HARSH WHOOSHING KIWI SINGER AARADHNA IS CALLING FOR A CHANGE TO THE NZ MUSIC AWARD CATEGORIES AFTER SHE REJECTED THE AWARD FOR BEST URBAN/HIP-HOP ALBUM LAST NIGHT. AARADNAH'S MANAGER SAYS SHE ENTERED THE CATEGORY BECAUSE THERE'S NO SPECIFIC R&B AWARD, A LONG-STANDING ISSUE FOR MAORI AND PACIFIC SINGERS. HIP-HOP ARTIST KING KAPISI SAYS IT'S A CLEAR CASE OF INSTITUTIONAL RACISM. THE INDUSTRY IS RUN BY PEOPLE THAT ARE NOT BROWN-FRIENDLY ` POLYNESIAN-FRIENDLY ` AND THAT'S JUST HOW IT IS. VMA ORGANISERS HAVE REJECTED THAT CLAIM, BUT SAY CHANGES ARE BEING CONSIDERED. DONALD TRUMP HAS HAD HIS FIRST MEETING WITH A FOREIGN LEADER SINCE HIS ELECTION VICTORY, HOLDING TALKS WITH JAPAN'S PRIME MINISTER, SHINZO ABE. THE MEETING WAS HASTILY ARRANGED, AND TRUMP'S AMATEUR APPROACH TO THE VISIT HAS LEFT FOREIGN AFFAIRS OFFICIALS LESS THAN IMPRESSED. CHANNEL NINE'S ROBERT PENFOLD REPORTS. DONALD TRUMP NOW HOLDING HIGH LEVEL DIPLOMATIC MEETINGS IN HIS GOLDEN TOWER ON NEW YORK'S FIFTH AVENUE. FIRST IN THE DOOR TODAY, JAPANESE PRIME MINISTER ABE. EARLIER THIS YEAR, TRUMP GAVE THE JAPANESE A WORRYING HEADS UP, SAYING HE THINKS MOST DEFENCE TREATIES ARE TOO LOP-SIDED. IF SOMEBODY ATTACKS US, JAPAN DOESN'T HAVE TO DO A THING. BUT IF JAPAN IS ATTACKED, WE HAVE TO IMMEDIATELY COME TO THEIR DEFENCE, GO TO WAR, DO WHATEVER'S NECESSARY. THE US STATE DEPARTMENT, FULL OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS SPECIALISTS, IS HORRIFIED THAT TRUMP HAS GONE ROGUE IN HOLDING ALL THESE MEETINGS. NORMALLY THEIR JAPAN SPECIALIST WOULD BRIEF A PRESIDENT-ELECT, BUT SINCE HE WAS VOTED IN LAST WEEK, NOT ONE PERSON FROM HIS CAMP HAS REACHED OUT OR EVEN MADE A PHONE CALL TO THE STATE DEPARTMENT OR THE PENTAGON. PRIME MINISTER ABE EMERGED SAYING ` TRANSLATOR: I AM CONVINCED THAT MR TRUMP IS A LEADER IN WHOM I CAN HAVE GREAT CONFIDENCE. AND, EASY TO SEE ALL OF THIS SI WORRYING PRESIDENT OBAMA, PRESENTLY IN GERMANY, AND BASICALLY WARNING TRUMP TO STAND UP TO RUSSIA. MY HOPE IS THAT HE DOES NOT SIMPLY TAKE A REALPOLITIK APPROACH AND SUGGEST THAT, YOU KNOW, IF WE JUST CUT SOME DEALS WITH RUSSIA, EVEN IF IT HURTS PEOPLE, OR EVEN IF IT VIOLATES INTERNATIONAL NORMS, WE JUST DO WHATEVER'S CONVENIENT AT THE TIME. DURING THIS CAMPAIGN, MITT ROMNEY, WHO WAS DEFEATED IN 2012 BY OBAMA, CALLED TRUMP A CON-MAN AND A PHONEY. BUT APPARENTLY TRUMP DOESN'T HOLD ANY GRUDGES, AND THERE ARE SUGGESTIONS NOW THAT ROMNEY WILL BE OFFERED SECRETARY OF STATE. AND THEN THIS, FORGETTING ` OR PERHAPS UNAWARE OF ` THE MONTHS OF PLANNING THAT GO IN TO AN OFFICIAL VISIT, TRUMP TOLD BRITISH PM THERESA MAY HE'D LIKE TO SAY HELLO, TELLING HER ` A WARNING, THIS NEXT ITEM CONTAINS PICTURES THAT ARE DISTURBING. MORE THAN 20 PEOPLE HAVE BEEN KILLED IN AIRSTRIKES ACROSS REBEL-HELD EASTERN ALEPPO. A BOY (6) WAS PULLED ALIVE FROM THE RUBBLE OF A DESTROYED BUILDING, AFTER BEING TRAPPED FOR FOUR HOURS. HIS MOTHER WAS ONE OF THREE OTHERS KILLED IN THE BOMBING, ACCORDING TO A REPORT BY SYRIAN CIVIL DEFENCE. IF THE FUTURE OF MOTOR VEHICLE TECHNOLOGY LOOKS IS SELF-DRIVING CARS, THEN TODAY THE FUTURE ARRIVED IN TAURANGA ` SORT OF ` WHEN A SEMI-AUTONOMOUS VEHICLE HIT NZ ROADS FOR THE FIRST TIME. SAM KELWAY REPORTS. ON THE OUTSIDE, IT'S JUST ANOTHER VEHICLE IN THE TRAFFIC, BUT ON THE INSIDE... LEVEL 2 IS WHERE WE SIT TODAY. LEVELS 4 AND 5 ARE FULLY AUTONOMOUS. SO WE'RE STILL AT THAT SEMI-AUTONOMOUS STAGE AT THE MOMENT, WHICH MEANS THERE'S A DEGREE OF DRIVER INTERACTION STILL. THE MINSTER OF TRANSPORT ON HAND FOR THE FIRST OFFICIAL DEMONSTRATION ON HANDS-FREE MOTORING. I'VE DONE A BIT OF THIS OVERSEAS BUT OBVIOUSLY NEVER IN NZ. HIDDEN SENSORS BEHIND THE BUMPERS USE LANE MARKERS TO THE KEEP THE CAR ON THE ROAD. IT'S ABLE TO ACCELERATE, BRAKE, AND TAKE CORNERS AT SPEED. AND ALTHOUGH IT'S NOT COMPLETELY AUTONOMOUS, THAT'S THE AIM. AT LEVEL 4, DRIVERS WILL DELEGATE RESPONSIBILITY TO THE VEHICLE, SO THAT'S THE BIGGEST DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SEMI-AUTONOMOUS AND FULLY AUTONOMOUS IS WHO'S ULTIMATELY RESPONSIBLE FOR WHAT THE CAR DOES. RIGHT NOW IT'S FEET- AND HANDS-OFF BUT HE IS STILL CONCENTRATING TOO. HAVING A SLEEP, READING A BOOK IN DUE COURSE IS A WEE WAY OFF, BUT IT'S COMING. THE CAR WILL INFORM YOU WHEN IT WANTS TO TAKE OVER. EVERY RULE YOU EVER LEARNT ABOUT DRIVING, THROW IT OUT THE WINDOW. YOU DO THE UNTHINKABLE ` REMOVE YOUR FEET FROM THE PEDALS AND YOUR HANDS FROM THE STEERING WHEEL. RIGHT NOW THIS TECHNOLOGY IS IN THE SHOWROOM AND LEGAL ON NZ ROADS. BUT NEW LEGISLATION MAY BE NEEDED BEFORE VEHICLES GO DRIVERLESS. AS WE GET FURTHER DOWN THE TRACK AND WE START TO GET INTO THE SLEEPING, EATING, ALL OF THESE THINGS, TEXTING, WE'RE GOING TO NEED TO THINK THAT THROUGH. WITH THAT TECHNOLOGY COME A LOT MORE SAFETY FEATURES, AND WE WANT PEOPLE TO BE SAFE IN THEIR MOBILITY. TECHNOLOGY SET TO MAKE OUR ROADS A WHOLE LOT SAFER. SAM KELWAY, 1 NEWS. THE NZ BREAKERS HAVE SCORED THEIR FIFTH WIN IN THEIR LAST SIX GAMES IN THE AUSSIE NBL, WITH A COMFORTABLE WIN OVER THE ILLAWARRA HAWKS.

NZ IS ON TOP AFTER DAY ONE OF THE FIRST CRICKET TEST AGAINST PAKISTAN IN CHRISTCHURCH, THANKS TO A REMARKABLE DEBUT BY COLIN DE GRANDHOMME. DE GRANDHOMME WAS A SURPRISE CALL-UP FOR THE BLACKCAPS, BUT IT WAS THE PAKISTANI BATSMEN WHO WERE IN FOR A SURPRISE AS THE ZIMBABWE-BORN MEDIUM PACER RIPPED THROUGH THEIR BATTING. NICKED AND GONE. THERE IT IS ` SIX! AND SIX OF THE BEST FOR COLIN DE GRANDHOMME ON DEBUT. DE GRANDHOMME FINISHING WITH 6/41. PAKISTAN ALL OUT FOR 133. IN REPLY, THE BLACKCAPS WERE 3/104 AT STUMPS, WITH ANOTHER DEBUTANTE, JEET RAVAL, UNBEATEN ON 55. AND INDIA'S SECOND TEST AGAINST ENGLAND WAS BROUGHT TO A STANDSTILL BY A DOG. THE HOME SIDE WAS PILING ON THE RUNS IN THE SECOND SESSION WHEN THE STRAY RAN ONTO THE FIELD. THE PLAYERS HAD NO LUCK GETTING RID OF IT AND THE GROUND STAFF WERE A BIT TOO SLOW. THE DOG WAS EVENTUALLY SHOOED OVER THE BOUNDARY ROPE, ONLY FOR IT TO COMEBACK MOMENTS LATER. THE UMPIRES DECIDED THEY'D HAD ENOUGH AND CALLED AN EARLY TEA SO THE DOG COULD BE CAUGHT.

SIMON BERRY PLUNGED 75M BEFORE DUNKING HIS CHOCOLATE BISCUIT INTO A CUP OF TEA, SETTING A NEW WORLD RECORD FOR THE HIGHEST BUNGEE DUNK. IT WAS PRETTY DIFFICULT. I MEAN, OBVIOUSLY, THE TEAM HELPED BY GETTING ME ROUGHLY IN THE RIGHT PLACE, BUT JUST GOING DOWN AND HAVING TO NAIL THAT CUP OF TEA WAS TRICKY. THE CUP WAS ` TYPICALLY ` EMBLAZONED WITH THE UNION JACK. THE STUNT TAKING PLACE ON WORLD RECORDS DAY.
