TONIGHT, A MUSIC VIDEO TURNS FATAL IN AUSTRALIA. A MAN IS SHOT DEAD DURING FILMING FOR AN AUSTRALIAN HIP-HOP BAND IN A BRISBANE HOTEL. THOUSANDS OF MELBOURNIANS GATHER TO REMEMBER THE FIVE VICTIMS OF THE BOURKE STREET KILLINGS, AS THE ACCUSED REFUSES TO FRONT IN COURT. IF IT'S GOOD ENOUGH FOR THE A-LISTERS OF HOLLYWOOD, APPARENTLY, IT'S GOOD ENOUGH FOR US. AN EXCLUSIVE TOUR OF THE NEW CHURCH OF SCIENTOLOGY IN AUCKLAND. FIRST TONIGHT ` THE ONGOING SEARCH IN WILD WEATHER FOR A MAN MISSING IN THE OTAKI RIVER, NORTH OF WELLINGTON. HE WAS ONE OF TWO MEN TIPPED INTO THE WATER WHEN THEIR SMALL INFLATABLE BOAT CAPSIZED THIS AFTERNOON. THE OTHER MAN'S BODY HAS BEEN RECOVERED. SEAN HOGAN'S BEEN AT THE SCENE FOR US TONIGHT. IT'S UNDERSTOOD THE TWO PEOPLE LAUNCHED THEIR SMALL INFLATABLE BOAT HERE IN THE RIVER BEFORE GETTING INTO TROUBLE AND CAPSIZING. IT MAY LOOK CALM NOW, BUT LOCALS WE'VE SPOKEN TO SAY IT WAS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS EARLIER TODAY, WITH HIGH SWELLS, AND IT WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN WISE TO LAUNCH THERE. NOW, SURF LIFESAVING TEAMS, THE POLICE, THE COAST GUARD, EVEN THE RESCUE CHOPPER, HAVE BEEN OUT HERE ON THE WATER, SEARCHING FOR THAT SECOND PERSON. BUT THEY'VE HAD TO SUSPEND THAT SEARCH THIS EVENING, AS THESE SEAS ARE FAR TOO ROUGH TO CONTINUE. LAND SEARCH AND RESCUE TEAMS WILL BE PATROLLING THE SHORELINE LATER TONIGHT TO KEEP THAT SEARCH GOING. POLICE WILL ALSO BE WORKING TO NOTIFY THE NEXT OF KIN OF THE MIDDLE-AGED MAN'S BODY THAT WAS RECOVERED EARLIER TODAY, BUT IT'S BELIEVED THAT HE WAS A LOCAL. AND A MAN'S BODY HAS BEEN FOUND 200M FROM WHERE HE WAS SWEPT AWAY WHILE WALKING ACROSS WAIWHAKAIHO RIVER, NEAR NEW PLYMOUTH, THIS AFTERNOON. HIS BODY WAS RECOVERED NEAR THE MERRILANDS DOMAIN, A POPULAR SUMMER SWIMMING SPOT. POLICE ARE WORKING TO IDENTIFY THE MAN AND NOTIFY HIS FAMILY. SUMMER'S WOEFUL WEATHER HAS LEAD TO SIGNIFICANT FLOODING IN AREAS OF SOUTHLAND AND OTAGO AFTER TWO DAYS OF PERSISTENT RAIN. THE CLEAN-UP'S UNDERWAY AROUND THE SOUTHLAND TOWN OF WAIKAIA, WHICH HAS ITS MAJOR ROAD ACCESS CUT OFF BY FLOOD WATERS. THESE AERIAL PICTURES SHOW THE EXTENT OF FLOODING AROUND THE FORMER GOLD-MINING SETTLEMENT. THE WATER'S CLOSED MANY ROADS ACROSS THE REGION. A MAN (20) HAS BEEN SHOT AND KILLED DURING THE FILMING OF AN AUSTRALIAN HIP-HOP BAND'S NEW MUSIC VIDEO. POLICE IN BRISBANE ARE TONIGHT INVESTIGATING HOW AT LEAST ONE OF SEVERAL FIREARMS USED AS PROPS IN THE SCENE BECAME A DEADLY WEAPON. LISETTE REYMER HAS THE LATEST. THEIR FACEBOOK PAGE TEASED SOME 'KILLER' NEW WORK,... BUT TODAY, THE FILM SET FOR AUSTRALIAN HIP-HOP BAND BLISS N ESO'S NEW MUSIC VIDEO TURNED TRULY FATAL. DURING THE FILMING OF THAT SCENE, SEVERAL FIREARMS WERE USED. AS A RESULT OF THE USE OF THOSE FIREARMS, ONE OF THE ACTORS HAS RECEIVED WOUNDS TO THE CHEST AND HAS SUBSEQUENTLY DIED FROM HIS INJURIES. POLICE AND PARAMEDICS WERE CALLED TO THIS CENTRAL BRISBANE HOTEL, WHERE THEY FOUND A MAN IN HIS 20s FATALLY WOUNDED. WE DO NOT KNOW SPECIFICALLY HOW THOSE INJURIES HAVE OCCURRED AT THIS TIME. STAFF AT THE VENUE PERFORMED CPR UNTIL THE PARAMEDICS ARRIVED, BUT THE MAN DIED WITHIN AN HOUR OF THE SHOOTING. THE POPULAR AUSTRALIAN HIP-HOP BAND WERE NOT ON SITE AT THE TIME. THE VICTIM WAS AN ACTOR IN THE SCENE. 'BLISS N ESO' HAD BEEN ADVERTISING FOR A RANGE OF PEOPLE TO FEATURE IN THE FILM CLIP FOR THEIR TRACK 'FRIEND LIKE YOU', WHICH WAS BEING FILMED IN BRISBANE AND THE GOLD COAST. POLICE SAY INITIAL INVESTIGATIONS SUGGEST IT WAS AN ACCIDENT. LISETTE REYMER, 1 NEWS. THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE PACKED CENTRAL MELBOURNE TONIGHT TO PAY TRIBUTE TO THE VICTIMS OF THE BOURKE STREET RAMPAGE. FIVE PEOPLE, INCLUDING TWO CHILDREN, WERE KILLED WHEN A MAN PLOUGHED HIS CAR INTO A CROWD OF PEDESTRIANS IN THE CITY'S CBD. THE 26-YEAR-OLD HAS NOW BEEN CHARGED WITH FIVE COUNTS OF MURDER. CHANNEL NINE'S ALEXIS DAYSH HAS MORE. THREE DAYS AFTER ALLEGEDLY INFLICTING HORROR ON OUR CITY, JAMES GARGASOULAS ARRIVED AT POLICE HEADQUARTERS FOR FORMAL QUESTIONING. HOMICIDE DETECTIVES FLANKED THE 26-YEAR-OLD, STILL WEARING A HOSPITAL GOWN AND TRYING TO HIDE HIS FACE FROM CAMERAS. A FEW BLOCKS AWAY, POLICE OFFICERS FELT COMPELLED TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE BOURKE STREET SHRINE WITH A CEREMONIAL MARK OF RESPECT. THEY LEFT A TEDDY BEAR WITH THE MESSAGE, 'WE'RE SORRY. LOVE, MELBOURNE HIGHWAY PATROL.' GOVERNOR OF VICTORIA LINDA DESSAU ALSO PAID HER RESPECTS. SHOCK AND HORROR, LIKE EVERYBODY'S. IT'S JUST A NORMAL HUMAN REACTION. YOU COULDN'T FEEL ANY DIFFERENTLY. MOTHER NETHRA KRISHNAMURTHY IDENTIFIED AS ANOTHER ALLEGED VICTIM IN HOSPITAL. IT WAS HER FIRST WEEK BACK FROM MATERNITY LEAVE. SHE WAS WALKING BACK TO WORK AND WAS HIT IN FRONT OF HER OFFICE. ANOTHER ALLEGED VICTIM, DAPHNE, SEEN HERE LYING BLOODIED ON THE FOOTPATH. BOYFRIEND SEAN VISITED HER AT THE ROYAL MELBOURNE HOSPITAL TODAY. SHE'S HAD THREE OPERATIONS SINCE THE AWFUL AFTERNOON. A SINGLE BUNCH OF ROSES IS WEDGED IN THE ST KILDA GATES OF THALIA HAKIN'S SCHOOL. THE 10-YEAR-OLD DESCRIBED AS AN ARTISTIC GIRL AND A CARING BIG SISTER. WE NOW KNOW THAT VICTIM JESS MUDIE (22) WAS VISITING FROM SYDNEY. LOVED ONES TODAY LAID FLOWERS IN HER HOME SUBURB. WORKING FOR AN INSURANCE BROKER COMPANY, JESS MUDIE'S EMPLOYER ISSUED A STATEMENT, SAYING... GARGASOULAS HAS BEEN CHARGED WITH FIVE COUNTS OF MURDER. HE DIDN'T APPEAR IN THE COURTROOM. HIS LAWYER SAID HE WAS TOO ILL. GARGASOULAS' ALLEGED PATH OF DESTRUCTION BEGAN AT HOME, WHERE POLICE SAY HE STABBED HIS BROTHER WHILE ON BAIL FOR OTHER CRIMES. THE VICTORIAN GOVERNMENT WILL HOLD A SPECIAL MEETING TOMORROW AMID MOUNTING CALLS FOR THE STATE'S BAIL SYSTEM TO BE OVERHAULED. BACK HERE NOW, AND TO CLAIMS THE SEARING-HOT AUCKLAND HOUSING MARKET IS CREATING A SEVERE TEACHER DROUGHT. WITH JUST A WEEK UNTIL KIDS RETURN TO CLASSROOMS, SCHOOLS STRUGGLING TO FIND STAFF ARE RESORTING TO DESPERATE MEASURES. MARY JANE AGGETT HAS MORE. APPLICATIONS CLOSE TODAY FOR A SCIENCE TEACHER AT WHANGAPARAOA COLLEGE. NO SUITABLE APPLICANTS FOR THE SCIENCE POSITION HAVE COME IN TODAY, AND IT CLOSES TODAY. YIP, NOTHING. IT'S A FAMILIAR STORY AROUND THE AUCKLAND REGION. SOME SCHOOLS RESORTING TO FILLING JOBS WITH NON-TEACHING STAFF. ONE EXAMPLE I SPOKE TO A PRINCIPAL ABOUT WAS THEY COULD NOT GET SOMEONE IN THE FOOD TECHNOLOGY AREA, A QUALIFIED TEACHER. THEY WERE ABLE TO FIND A CHEF, SOMEONE WITH EXPERIENCE IN HOSPITALITY WHO WAS WILLING TO COME IN AND WORK AS A TEACHER. RANGITOTO COLLEGE PRINCIPAL DAVID HODGE SAYS THIS YEAR'S SHORTAGE IS UNPRECEDENTED. I HAVEN'T KNOWN IT SO BAD. I'VE BEEN A PRINCIPAL FOR 17 YEARS, AND IT'S NEVER BEEN AS BAD AS THIS. AN INTERNATIONAL REPORT RELEASED TODAY HAS AUCKLAND RANKED THE FOURTH MOST UNAFFORDABLE CITY IN THE WORLD. THE PRINCIPALS SAY EXPENSIVE ACCOMMODATION IS ONE OF THE MAIN REASONS TEACHERS ARE MOVING TO THE PROVINCES, AND THAT'S LEAVING CITY SCHOOLS HIGH AND DRY. THE EDUCATION MINISTER DISPUTES THAT AND SAYS MOST MOVEMENT IN AUCKLAND IS TEACHERS MOVING BETWEEN AUCKLAND SCHOOLS. IT'S AN EXPENSIVE CITY TO LIVE IN, BUT THAT'S NOT EXCLUSIVE TO TEACHERS, IS IT? I MEAN, IT IS EXPENSIVE FOR NZERS, WHETHER THEY ARE TAXI DRIVERS OR POLICE OR NURSES, SO, NO, WE'RE NOT GIVING ANY CONSIDERATION AT THIS TIME TO SOME KIND OF AUCKLAND SALARY FACTOR. THE MINISTRY HAS PUT $9M INTO A PACKAGE TO ATTRACT NZ TEACHERS BACK FROM OVERSEAS. WE RECRUIT OVERSEAS BECAUSE THERE'S JUST IN MANY CASES NOBODY IN NZ. MEANWHILE, PRINCIPALS DO A LAST-MINUTE RESHUFFLE TO GET TEACHERS IN FRONT OF CLASSES NEXT WEEK. MARY-JANE AGGETT, 1 NEWS. JUST DAYS INTO HIS PRESIDENCY, DONALD TRUMP HAS UNLEASHED A FRESH ATTACK ON THE MEDIA. HE WAS ELECTED TO SORT OUT ISSUES OF NATIONAL AND GLOBAL IMPORTANCE, BUT SO FAR MUCH OF THE FOCUS HAS BEEN ON HOW MANY PEOPLE WATCHED HIS INAUGURATION. HERE'S ONE NEWS U.S CORRESPONDENT REBECCA WRIGHT. DONALD TRUMP'S ADMINISTRATION IS SWEARING TO TAKE ON THE MEDIA. ...DO SOLEMNLY SWEAR. THERE'S AN OBSESSION BY THE MEDIA TO DELEGITIMISE THIS PRESIDENT, AND WE ARE NOT GOING TO SIT AROUND AND LET IT HAPPEN. IT'S THE REPORTING OF CROWD SIZE AT THE INAUGURATION WHICH HAS GOT UNDER THE NEW PRESIDENT'S SKIN. AS YOU KNOW, I HAVE A RUNNING WAR WITH THE MEDIA. THEY ARE AMONG THE MOST DISHONEST HUMAN BEINGS ON EARTH. SO THE COUNTRY'S TOP POLITICAL CORRESPONDENTS WERE SUMMONED TO A TELLING OFF AT THE WHITE HOUSE. THIS WAS THE LARGEST AUDIENCE TO EVER WITNESS AN INAUGURATION, PERIOD, BOTH IN PERSON AND AROUND THE GLOBE. AND THE WHITE HOUSE SPOKESMAN GAVE THEM DUE NOTICE OF INTENT. THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF TALK IN THE MEDIA ABOUT THE RESPONSIBILITY TO HOLD DONALD TRUMP ACCOUNTABLE. AND I'M HERE TO TELL YOU THAT IT GOES TWO WAYS. WE'RE GOING TO HOLD THE PRESS ACCOUNTABLE AS WELL. AND DESPITE THE PHOTOGRAPHIC EVIDENCE, KEY FIGURES IN THE PRESIDENT'S CAMP KEPT UP THE ATTACK. SEAN SPICER, OUR PRESS SECRETARY, GAVE ALTERNATIVE FACTS TO THAT. BUT THE POINT REALLY IS` WAIT ` ALTERNATIVE FACTS?! LOOK, ALTERNATIVE FACTS ARE NOT FACTS. THEY'RE FALSEHOODS. AND PRESIDENT TRUMP HAD HIS OWN ALTERNATIVE VIEWS ON THE MILLIONS OF WOMEN WHO MARCHED AGAINST HIM ACROSS THE GLOBE. INITIALLY, HE PLAYED DOWN THEIR SIGNIFICANCE, TWEETING HE'D SEEN THE DEMONSTRATIONS, BUT THE ELECTION WAS OVER. BUT HE LATER POSTED THEY HAD A RIGHT TO PROTEST. THE PRESIDENT DID GET A BOOST TODAY AS HE WELCOMED NEW STAFF MEMBERS. IT'S BEEN CONFIRMED HE'LL GET HIS MOST SENIOR ONE SOON. REPUBLICAN SENATORS ANNOUNCED THEY WILL VOTE FOR HIS SECRETARY OF STATE PICK, REX TILLERSON, ALTHOUGH JOHN MCCAIN STILL HAS RESERVATIONS ABOUT HIS NEW BOSS. DO YOU HAVE CONFIDENCE IN PRESIDENT TRUMP? I DO NOT KNOW, GEORGE. I DO NOT KNOW, BECAUSE HE HAS MADE SO MANY COMMENTS THAT ARE CONTRADICTORY. IT'S BEEN A CONTRADICTORY DAY FOR TRUMP, THE MEDIA AND THE TRUTH. REBECCA WRIGHT, 1 NEWS, NEW YORK. IN THE WAKE OF HIS WAITANGI SNUB, CRITICS CLAMOURED TO CLAIM BILL ENGLISH WAS ABANDONING MAORI. BUT FAR FROM IT, SAYS OUR NEW PRIME MINISTER. INSTEAD, HIS MESSAGE AT WINDSWEPT RATANA CELEBRATIONS WAS ABOUT A NEW KIND OF GOVERNMENT ENGAGEMENT. POLITICAL REPORTER ANDREA VANCE WAS THERE. BILL ENGLISH HAS GIVEN WAITANGI THE COLD SHOULDER THIS YEAR, BUT HE RECEIVED A WARM WELCOME AT RATANA PA THIS AFTERNOON. WHAT YOU'VE SEEN HERE TODAY, I THINK, IS, YOU KNOW, THE BEST OF TIKANGA ` THAT IS HOSPITALITY, RESPECTFULNESS, WARMTH. CHURCH ELDERS DECIDED TO RECEIVE HIM ON TO THE MARAE A DAY AHEAD OF OPPOSITION PARTIES, BECAUSE THE COMMEMORATIONS CLASHED WITH THE FIRST CABINET MEETING OF THE YEAR IN WELLINGTON TOMORROW. WE MADE A DECISION TO INVITE YOU HERE TO RATANA. AND I'LL TELL YOU WHY ` TO GIVE OUR PEOPLE AN OPPORTUNITY TO MEET AND GREET THE NEW PRIME MINISTER OF NZ. BOTH MR ENGLISH AND THE CHURCH SEEM TO BE IN TUNE OVER PULLING MAORI OUT OF POVERTY. SOMEHOW, ALONG THE WAY, WE HAVE REACHED THE LIMITS OF WHAT GOVERNMENT CAN DO, THE LIMITS OF GOVERNMENT GRANTS PROGRAMMES, MORE PUBLIC SERVANTS. AND WHAT I SEE ROUND THE COUNTRY, AND I THINK IT'S OBVIOUS NOW TO EVERY NZER, IS THIS BURGEONING SPIRIT OF ENTERPRISE. THAT'S ALWAYS BEEN A MOTTO ` WE NEED TO HELP OURSELVES BEFORE WE CAN HELP ANYONE ELSE. AND WE LIKE THAT. MR ENGLISH SAYS THE GOVERNMENT ISN'T ABANDONING MAORI. GOVERNMENT IS LEARNING MUCH BETTER HOW TO WORK WITH THE PEOPLE WHO KNOW THE PEOPLE. TOMORROW, THE OPPOSITION PARTIES WILL MAKE THEIR JOURNEY HERE TO RATANA PA TO DELIVER THEIR OWN ELECTION YEAR MESSAGE. I THINK THERE ARE 16 NATIONAL MPS HERE TODAY. IT'S BIGGER THAN NZ FIRST AND ALMOST AS BIG AS THE LABOUR PARTY. SO, MR ENGLISH GOT TO SERVE UP HIS GOVERNMENT'S MESSAGE ALL BY HIMSELF. RATANA ORGANISERS SEEM SATISFIED, BUT THAT MAY DEPEND ON WHAT HIS OPPONENTS HAVE TO OFFER TOMORROW. ANDREA VANCE, 1 NEWS. COMING UP, WHY HITTING THE BEACH COULD HIT YOU BACK. THE EYE-WATERING BACTERIA FIGURES WHICH HAVE SEEN A SWAG OF SHORELINES DECLARED UNSAFE. IT'S HIGH PROFILE. IT'S CONTROVERSIAL. NOW IT'S HERE. WE'VE AN EXCLUSIVE LOOK INSIDE NZ'S FIRST-EVER SCIENTOLOGY BASE. AND SECOND ONLY TO THELMA AND LOUISE IN THE UNLIKELY SEQUEL STAKES? TRAINSPOTTING TWO HITS THE SCREENS. 10 AUCKLAND BEACHES HAVE BEEN BLACKLISTED BECAUSE OF DANGEROUS LEVELS OF BACTERIA AND SEWAGE IN THE WATER. THERE'S A BILLION-DOLLAR FIX IN THE PIPELINE, BUT AS YVONNE TAHANA REPORTS, LOCAL RATEPAYERS WILL HAVE TO FOOT THE BILL. AT A NUMBER OF AUCKLAND BEACHES, WATER SPORT'S A HAZARD IN MORE WAYS THAN ONE. YOU SEE HEAPS OF GUYS CRASHING OUT THERE. YOU GET LOTS IN YOUR MOUTH WHEN YOU'RE CRASHING. IT'S REALLY DISGUSTING. COX'S BAY IS LABELLED 'HIGH-RISK'. THE COUNCIL WARNS AGAINST SWIMMING HERE AND AT NINE OTHER COASTAL AREAS BECAUSE OF UNTREATED WASTEWATER. THEY INCLUDE WOOD BAY, WEYMOUTH BEACH, BETHELLS LAGOON, TWO PIHA SPOTS AND WAIHEKE'S LITTLE ONEROA LAGOON. LOOK, IT'S COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE IN 21ST-CENTURY AUCKLAND THAT WE SHOULD STILL HAVE WASTEWATER POLLUTING OUR BEACHES. I THINK IT IS A SYMPTOM OF NZ'S WAY OF THINKING ABOUT INFRASTRUCTURE ` THAT WE TOO OFTEN, DO TOO LITTLE TOO LATE. IT'S NOT BEYOND THE REALMS OF POSSIBILITY THAT SOON YOU'LL HAVE TO WEAR GUMBOOTS WHEN YOU GO INTO THE WATER. IN THOSE 10 BLACKLISTED BEACHES, THE COUNCIL HAS DECIDED IT'S NO LONGER WORTH IT TO MONITOR THE WATER QUALITY. INSTEAD, IT'LL PUT IN PERMANENT SWIMMING BANS AND PUBLIC HEALTH SIGNAGE. THE CENTURY-OLD PIPES SERVICING 16,000 CITY HOMES WERE DESIGNED TO DEAL WITH BOTH WASTEWATER AND STORMWATER, BUT CAN'T HANDLE MUCH RAIN, MEANING UNTREATED OVERFLOW HEADS STRAIGHT OUT TO SEA. ONE SOLUTION ` A BILLION-DOLLAR PIPELINE TO REPLACE RISKY INFRASTRUCTURE. THE CENTRAL INTERCEPTOR IS A HUGE PIPE THAT WILL REDUCE BY 80% THE WASTEWATER OVERFLOW. BUT HE SAYS OTHER PRIORITIES, LIKE ROADS, MEANS HE WON'T BE ASKING CENTRAL GOVERNMENT TO HELP. I THINK THE WATER COSTS ARE COSTS THAT WE HAVE TO BEAR AS AUCKLANDERS. CONSTRUCTION ON THE CENTRAL INTERCEPTOR STARTS IN 2019. RATEPAYERS ARE WARNED THE COST OF TAKING A DIP IS SET TO RISE. YVONNE TAHANA, 1 NEWS. TO THE US NOW, WHERE A SPATE OF DEADLY TORNADOES HAS KILLED AT LEAST 19 PEOPLE IN THE COUNTRY'S SOUTH. A STATE OF EMERGENCY'S BEEN DECLARED ACROSS SEVERAL COUNTIES IN GEORGIA, WHERE A DOZEN DIED. HUNDREDS OF HOMES WERE ALSO DAMAGED IN MISSISSIPPI, FLORIDA AND ALABAMA. IN TEXAS, RESIDENTS ARE RECOVERING AFTER DOZENS OF HOMES WERE FLATTENED AND POWER LINES TOPPLED. THIS BE MY HOUSE RIGHT HERE. I HEAR THE WIND BLOWING AND STUFF, COME TO THE FRONT DOOR, LOOK ACROSS THE FIELD AND SAW, LIKE, A TORNADO. GOT BACK ON THE INSIDE, AND THERE IT GO. THE HOUSE SHIFTED THREE TIMES, AND THERE IT GO AND STUFF. COVERED MY HEAD AND STUFF. NEXT THING, YOU KNOW, GETTING OFF THE FLOOR, IT'S TORE UP. RESIDENTS HAVE BEEN TOLD TO BRACE FOR MORE TORNADOES, WITH WARNINGS ISSUED ACROSS THREE STATES. SCIENTOLOGY NOW HAS A NEW AUCKLAND HOME. THE CHURCH OPENING A MULTI-MILLION DOLLAR BUILDING THIS PAST WEEKEND. LISETTE REYMER WAS INVITED IN FOR AN EXCLUSIVE TOUR OF THE HIGH-PROFILE RELIGION'S MYSTICAL WORLD. HI, LISETTE. OH, HI. NICE TO MEET YOU. NICE TO MEET YOU TOO. A RARE INVITATION INTO ONE OF THE MOST CONTROVERSIAL CHURCHES IN THE WORLD. ALL RIGHT, WHERE FIRST? OK GOOD, LET'S GO TO THE INFORMATION CENTRE. IT WAS THE BEGINNING OF A TOUR THAT FELT EERILY WELL-ORGANISED, ORCHESTRATED EVEN. ANYONE COMING IN THE SEARCH OF SCIENTOLOGY WOULD COME IN HERE, TAKE A SELF-GUIDED TOUR, WATCH A VIDEO, CHECK OUT ANYTHING THEY WANT, READ ANYTHING THEY WANT AND THEN, GET QUESTIONS THEY WANT ANSWERED ABOUT SCIENTOLOGY, WHO WE ARE AND WHAT WE BELIEVE. SECURITY NEVER FAR AWAY. UNIFORMED STAFF BUSILY WORKING. AND CHURCH MEMBERS STANDING BY READY TO ANSWER QUESTIONS WITH TEXTBOOK PRECISION. WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THE NEW CHURCH? I THINK IT'S ABSOLUTELY STUNNING. THE RESTORATION WAS AMAZING. AND ITS THE BRICK WORK, THE TILE, BEAUTIFUL. BUT THAT BEAUTY HASN'T COME CHEAP. THIS AUCKLAND CHURCH COMING WITH A $16M PRICE TAG. IT WAS PUT HERE BY THE PARISHIONERS. 'PUT HERE' A POLITE WAY OF SAYING 'PAID FOR BY'. THE CHURCH RUNS OFF DONATIONS FROM ITS MEMBERS, AND IN THE LAST FINANCIAL YEAR, THAT TOTALLED ALMOST $2M IN NZ ALONE. DESPITE BEING WELCOMED HERE TODAY, THE CHURCH IS NOTORIOUSLY SECRETIVE. ITS BEEN ACCUSED OF PHYSICAL, EMOTIONAL AND PSYCHOLOGICAL ABUSE ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS SINCE ITS INCEPTION IN THE 50S. THE CHURCH HAS ATTRACTED A LOT OF PUBLICITY OVER THE YEARS, THANKS TO ITS MANY FAMOUS FOLLOWERS AND EYEBROW-RAISING BELIEFS. PEOPLE ARE JUST VERY CURIOUS ABOUT SCIENTOLOGY, AND THEY'RE ALWAYS ASKING WHAT IS SCIENTOLOGY? WHAT IS IT? SO I JUST TELL THEM, COME ON DOWN TO THE CHURCH AND CHECK IT OUT, ASK SOME QUESTIONS. DESPITE THE CHAPEL BEING BUILT TO SEAT JUST 78 PEOPLE, AND THE LATEST CENSUS SHOWING 318 FOLLOWERS IN NZ, THE CHURCH SAYS THEY HAVE AROUND 500 KIWI MEMBERS. NZ HAS SUCH A PROUD RICH HISTORY OF SCIENTOLOGY. THIS CHURCH IS ACTUALLY THE SECOND-OLDEST CHURCH OF SCIENTOLOGY IN THE WORLD. OUR QUESTIONS ABOUT THE NATURE OF THE HIGH-PROFILE CHURCH WERE REPEATEDLY BRUSHED OFF. BUT WHAT'S UNIQUE` YOU KNOW, WHAT'S UNIQUE` IT'S VERY UNIQUE. WHAT'S UNIQUE ABOUT THE CHURCH OF SCIENTOLOGY... AND AFTER A TOUR OF L RON HUBBARD'S NEW-LOOK PRESENCE ON OUR SHORES, THERE'S NO DOUBTING THE CHURCH IS CERTAINLY ONE OF A KIND. LISETTE REYMER, 1 NEWS. SPORT NOW, AND THE BLACKCAPS HAVE MOVED TO FIFTH IN THE ICC TEST RANKINGS AFTER THEY COMPLETED A 2-0 SERIES WHITEWASH OF BANGLADESH IN CHRISTCHURCH. ESTABLISHING A HANDY LEAD ON THE MORNING OF THE FOURTH DAY, LOCAL BOY HENRY NICHOLS GOT AGONISINGLY CLOSE TO HIS MAIDEN TEST CENTURY, BUT THE LEFT-HANDER CHOPPED ON AT 98. BANGLADESH THEN LOSING THEIR WAY BEING DISMISSED IN A SESSION THANKS TO SOME TEXTBOOK YORKER BOWLING BY TRENT BOULT, THEIR LEAD JUST A 108. COLIN DE GRANDHOMME THEN LEADING THE CHARGE ON THE SMALL TARGET. OH, THAT'S MEATY. THAT'S MEATY AND MASSIVE! OH! SMACKED AGAIN. AND THAT IS IT. NZ HAVE WON. THE BLACK CAPS WILL NOW SWITCH TO ONE-DAY MODE, WITH THE CHAPPELL-HADLEE SERIES AGAINST AUSTRALIA STARTING IN AUCKLAND NEXT MONDAY. JUST AHEAD, WE'LL MAKE WEATHER DO THINGS YOU COULD HAVE ONLY DREAMED OF. THEN... SO, WHAT YOU BEEN UP TO FOR 20 YEARS? CHOOSE LIFE, CHOOSE A CAREER, CHOOSE A REMAKE. 20 YEARS ON, TRAINSPOTTING ROLLS AGAIN. MORE THAN 20 YEARS AFTER THE GENERATION-DEFINING, DRUG-DRIVEN CULTURAL ROLLERCOASTER OF A CLASSIC 'TRAINSPOTTING' CAREENED INTO OUR LIVES, IT'S BACK. SO IS THE SEQUEL, WHICH RE-UNITES THE ORIGINAL CAST ON THE MEAN STREETS OF EDINBURGH, JUST AS RELEVANT NOW? HERE'S THE BBC'S COLIN PATTERSON. IGGY POP'S 'LUST FOR LIFE' RENTON: CHOOSE LIFE. CHOOSE A JOB. CHOOSE A CAREER. TRAINSPOTTING WAS THE DEFINING FILM OF MID '90S COOL BRITANNIA. THE MOVIE POSTER WAS ON STUDENTS' WALLS, THE SOUNDTRACK IN THEIR CD PLAYERS. IT DEALT WITH ADDICTION, HEDONISM AND FRIENDSHIP. NOW MORE THAN 20 YEARS LATER, THE GANG IS BACK TOGETHER. SO THAT` WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT IS THAT` SO THEY HAVE CHANGED THE WALL, HAVEN'T THEY? WELL... WE MET THE DIRECTOR, DANNY BOYLE, WHERE IT ALL BEGAN. WE IMPLIED THAT THEY WERE STRAIGHT FROM PRINCES ST WHILE THEY WERE BEING CHASED BY STORE DETECTIVES ON TO THIS ROAD, AND THEN RENTON GETS HIT HERE BY A CAR. SO, WHAT YOU BEEN UP TO... FOR 20 YEARS? SINCE TRAINSPOTTING, DANNY BOYLE'S DOMINATED THE OSCARS WITH 'SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE' AND TRIUMPHED WITH THE 2012 OLYMPIC OPENING CEREMONY. SO WHY NOW FOR A SEQUEL TO THE FILM WHICH MADE HIS NAME? SINCE WE MADE THE FIRST MOVIE, PEOPLE CONSTANTLY COME UP TO YOU AND TALK ABOUT THE CHARACTERS LIKE THEY KNOW THEM, AND THAT MADE US THINK THAT WE HAD NOT AN OBLIGATION, BUT OBVIOUSLY A-A-A` YEAH, IT BECAME A DUTY TO PERHAPS TURN TO IT AGAIN. WHAT REALLY CAPTURED THE ZEITGEIST IN THE ORIGINAL WAS THE FAMOUS 'CHOOSE LIFE' SPEECH. RENTON: CHOOSE LEISURE WEAR AND MATCHING LUGGAGE. CHOOSE A THREE-PIECE SUITE... AND IT'S BACK IN AN UPDATED VERSION. CHOOSE FACEBOOK, TWITTER AND INSTAGRAM AND HOPE SOMEONE, SOMEWHERE CARES. DELIVERED ONCE AGAIN BY EWAN MCGREGOR, RETURNING IN THE ROLE OF RENTON. AFTER TRAINSPOTTING CAME OUT, WE WERE LIKE` WE WERE LIKE THE OASIS OF THE MOVIE INDUSTRY IN BRITAIN, DO YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? WE REPRESENTED BRITPOP MOVIES. LIKE... IT WAS AMAZING. AND SO THERE WAS ALWAYS A PART OF ME THAT, I DON'T KNOW, YEARNS FOR THAT AGAIN, I SUPPOSE. SO FAR, REVIEWS HAVE MAINLY BEEN POSITIVE. BUT IT WILL BE AUDIENCES WHO CHOOSE IF IT TARNISHES THEIR MEMORIES OF THE ORIGINAL. AND YOU CAN WATCH TRANSPOTTING 2, OPENING IN CINEMAS HERE IN ABOUT A MONTH. NOW TO TOMORROW'S WEATHER, WITH IGGY POP. IGGY POP'S 'LUST FOR LIFE' FOR WEATHER, SEE TVNZ.CO.NZ THAT'S IT FROM US HERE ON TONIGHT. THANKS FOR WATCHING. GOODNIGHT. CAPTIONS BY KATE PARKINSON AND ALANA DRAYTON. CAPTIONS WERE MADE POSSIBLE WITH FUNDING FROM NZ ON AIR.
