TONIGHT ` SHE WANTED A CLEAN BREAK ON HER TERMS BUT WON'T GET IT. THE BRITISH PRIME MINISTER'S JOURNEY TO BREXIT HITS A BIG SPEED BUMP. HOW IT COULD HURT OUR EXPORTERS. PRESIDENT TRUMP KILLS THE TPP WITH A SWIPE OF A PEN, LEAVING NZ SCRAMBLING FOR A NEW TRADE DEAL. HIS FAKE SHOOTING FOR A MUSIC VIDEO BECAME ALL TOO REAL. QUESTIONS SWIRL OVER HOW A YOUNG AUSTRALIAN STUNTMAN ENDED UP DEAD. FIRST TONIGHT ` A SHORT TIME AGO, BRITAIN'S DIVORCE PROCEEDINGS WITH THE EUROPEAN UNION, KNOWN AS BREXIT, HIT A BIG SPEEDBUMP. THE SUPREME COURT HAS JUST RULED THAT PARLIAMENT ALONE, AND NOT THE GOVERNMENT, CAN TRIGGER THE EU WITHDRAWAL. IT FURTHER COMPLICATES AN ALREADY DEEPLY COMPLEX PROCESS AND COULD HINDER NZ TRADE ASPIRATIONS. EUROPE CORRESPONDENT EMMA KEELING'S OUTSIDE BRITAIN'S SUPREME COURT FOR US TONIGHT. EMMA, FIRSTLY, EXPLAIN WHAT THIS MEANS FOR BREXIT? This doesn't mean that Brexit is over. The court case was all about who had the authority to trigger article 50. That starts the negotiations for the divorce process of the UK from the EU. The Prime Minister wanted to keep control over the process. It becomes complicated if she hands it over to Parliament. She wanted to trigger article 50 at the end of March. There could be a delay in this process. She has to go to Parliament now and ask their opinions. They may want to debate certain points. Many don't want to lead a single market in the EU. SO DOES THIS MEAN THAT SCOTLAND AND NORTHERN IRELAND, WHO VOTED AGAINST BREXIT, NOW HAVE A SAY? No. It was also rolled that Northern Ireland do not need to give their consent for Brexit to be triggered. The president of the Scottish National party is very against Brexit. Most of Scotland and Northern Ireland voted to remain. There will be some heavy campaigning, but they do not need to give their consent four article 50 to be triggered. But will the UK split apart? There is the thought that the independent referendum on Scotland breaking away from the UK could even happen next year. There is a strong feeling there, even with Northern Ireland, so that they can keep the single market access. What is going to happen to the UK? SO HOW DOES ALL THIS AFFECT NZ'S TRADE TALKS WITH BRITAIN AND THE EU? Bill English was here just a week ago shaking hands with people in the EU in the UK in free trade deals. It is all go with the EU, and that is NZ's priority. NZ cannot negotiate a trade deal with the UK until they will formally leave the EU, and now we do not know when that will be. There are delays with negotiations. If it doesn't happen at the end of March, when might not face negotiations until 2020. NZ really needs the TPP deal with the UK. But there could be a long time to wait. You thought American politics was tricky. There is a lot going on in the UK. We have an Irishman dancing here, but there will be a lot of descent. It is a lot more consecrated than the beginning. Emma Keeling for us tonight. SO, A TRICKY TIME FOR NZ AT THE GLOBAL TRADE TABLE, MADE EVEN DICIER BY DONALD TRUMP'S PEN. HE'S OFFICIALLY TERMINATED AMERICA'S ROLE IN THE 12 NATION TPP TALKS, WHICH INCLUDE NZ. THERE'S A CHANCE HE'LL AGREE TO A ONE-ON-ONE DEAL WITH LITTLE OLE AOTEAROA, BUT AS POLITICAL EDITOR CORIN DANN REPORTS, IT'S UNLIKELY TO BE A WINNER. AFTER ALL THE TALK AND TWEETS, PRESIDENT TRUMP WAS A MAN OF ACTION TODAY, AND TOP OF THE AGENDA ` GETTING THE US OUT OF TPP. WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT THIS FOR A LONG TIME. THANK YOU. OK. CAMERAS SNAP GREAT THING FOR THE AMERICAN WORKER, WHAT WE JUST DID. THE EXECUTIVE ORDER TO EXIT TPP HERALDS A NEW US APPROACH TO TRADE. SO WE'RE GOING TO HAVE PLENTY OF TRADE. BUT TPP WASN'T THE RIGHT WAY. SO WE'RE GOING BACK TO THOSE COUNTRIES ONE-ON-ONE, AND THAT WILL BE BEAUTIFUL. ONE OF THOSE COUNTRIES BEING NZ. BUT AS ONE OF THE SMALLEST 12 PLAYERS IN TPP, HOPES OF A ONE-ON-ONE DEAL WITH THE US AREN'T HIGH. SO IF HE'S LOOKING FOR THAT SORT OF PARTNER, THEN, YES, NZ WOULD BE A GOOD ONE, BUT THE FACT OF THE MATTER ` THE RENEGOTIATION OF NAFTA AND OTHER BIGGER ECONOMIES MAY GET IN THE WAY. PRETTY LOW CHANCE OF THAT HAPPENING IN A FORM THAT WE'D FIND SATISFACTORY. BUT WE WOULDN'T WANT TO RULE IT OUT. OUR GOVERNMENT IS INSTEAD LIKELY TO PUSH HARDER TO SEE IF THE BIGGER NATIONS LEFT IN TPP, LIKE JAPAN, MEXICO AND CANADA WANT TO COMPLETE THE DEAL WITHOUT THE US. MAKING AN EFFORT TO FIND OUT WHAT WE CAN DO WITH TPP RATHER THAN JUST DROPPING AND WAITING AND HOPING TO GET A CALL. BUT FREE-TRADE OPPONENTS SAY TPP WAS BUILT WITH U.S BUSINESS INTERESTS AT HEART AND SHOULD BE SCRAPPED. WE NEED TO START AGAIN WITH THE AGREEMENT, ACTUALLY, WHICH IS IN THE AGREEMENT OF ALL NZERS. LABOUR'S ALSO WARY. NZ STILL NEEDS TO NEGOTIATE WITH OTHER COUNTRIES TO GENUINELY REDUCE TRADE BARRIERS. BUT ONE THING WE SHOULD NEVER DO IS NEGOTIATE CONDITIONS THAT UNDERMINE OUR SOVEREIGNTY. IT'S NOT JUST POTENTIAL EXPORT GAINS THAT NZ MAY HAVE LOST TODAY. TPP WAS ALSO A KEY PART OF THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION'S EFFORTS TO COUNTER RISING CHINESE POWER AND INFLUENCE IN THE REGION. IT'S BAD FOR OUR VISION OF A REGION WHERE THE U.S IS ONE OF THE MAJOR PLAYERS AND CAN HELP US MANAGE CHINA'S RISE. AND SO MR TRUMP HAS GIVEN THE INITIATIVE ON ALL OF THAT TO CHINA. INITIATIVE THAT CHINA MAY WELL LOOK TO SEIZE UP THIS YEAR BY PUSHING ITS OWN ASIA-PACIFIC-WIDE TRADE DEAL INVOLVING NZ, KNOWN AS R-CEP. IN JUST HIS SECOND DAY ON THE JOB, DONALD TRUMP HAS SIGNED A CONTROVERSIAL ANTI-ABORTION POLICY ON FOREIGN AID. THE DECREE STOPS THE US FUNDING FOREIGN GROUPS WHICH SUPPORT OR PROVIDE ABORTION SERVICES. THE PRO-LIFE POLICY, INTRODUCED BY RONALD REAGAN WAS REVERSED BY BARACK OBAMA IN 2009. IT'S ONE OF HIS NUMBER OF POLICIES TRUMP HAS PROMISED TO REPEAL. THE MOVE COMES JUST TWO DAYS AFTER MAJOR WOMEN'S RIGHTS RALLIES WERE HELD WORLDWIDE, OPPOSING TRUMP'S PRESIDENCY. BACK HERE ` OUR LOWEST PAID WORKERS ARE TO GET A BOOST TO THEIR PAY IN APRIL. THE MINIMUM WAGE WILL INCREASE BY 50 CENTS FROM $15.25 TO $15.75. THE STARTING OUT OR TRAINING WAGE WILL GO UP 40 CENTS TO $12.60 PER HOUR. THE PRIME MINISTER SAYS IT'LL BENEFIT NEARLY 120,000 WORKERS. RODEOS ARE BACK IN THE SPOTLIGHT, WITH THE MINISTRY FOR PRIMARY INDUSTRIES INVESTIGATING ALLEGATIONS OF ANIMAL CRUELTY AT A RECENT EVENT. ACTIVISTS CLAIM THIS VIDEO, FILMED AT THE MIDNORTHERN RODEO, NEAR WHANGAREI 10 DAYS AGO, SHOWS THE ILLEGAL USE OF ELECTRIC PRODS ON CALVES. WE'VE BEEN TOLD, AND WE'VE SEEN FOR OURSELVES, THAT RODEO ORGANISERS WILL ELECTRIC PROD THE ANIMALS TO GO TO THEM, SO IT KIND OF MAKES THE CALVES A BIT MORE HYPED UP. BUT RODEO OFFICIALS TOLD 1 NEWS THAT, QUOTE, 'THE FOOTAGE IS INCONCLUSIVE' AND THAT 'SAFE HAS NO CREDIBILITY'. THE MINISTRY SAYS IT'S WORKING ON EXPANDING RODEO'S WELFARE CODE. THE FATAL SHOOTING OF A STUNTMAN ON THE SET OF A MUSIC VIDEO IN BRISBANE IS BEING DESCRIBED AS A WAKE-UP CALL FOR THE INDUSTRY. JOHANN OFFNER (28) WAS KILLED AFTER BEING SHOT AT CLOSE RANGE BY A PROP GUN. CHANNEL NINES ZARA JAMES REPORTS. THEY GATHERED IN GRIEF. FAMILY AND FRIENDS OF JOHANN OFFNER, A GOLD COAST FATHER AND FITNESS FANATIC. SHARING HUGS AND TEARS BY THE BEACH, THE SAME PLACE THE YOUNG STUNTMAN PRACTICED RELIGIOUSLY. THE 28-YEAR-OLD WAS AN ELITE AN ATHLETE, AND TRAINING FOR A STARRING ROLE IN THE NINE NETWORK'S UPCOMING TELEVISION SERIES, 'AUSTRALIA'S NINJA WARRIOR.' THE PHENOMENON IS COMING. IT WAS HIS TONED PHYSIQUE AND ACTING SKILLS THAT LED HIM TO THE BROOKLYN STANDARD BAR IN BRISBANE CITY TO RECORD A MUSIC VIDEO CLIP FOR HIP-HOP GROUP, BLISS N ESO. THE SCENE CALLED FOR HIM TO BE GUNNED DOWN IN A FAKE SHOOTING. BEFORE THE CAMERAS ROLLED, HE POSTED HIS OWN VIDEO ONLINE, JOKINGLY REFERRING TO THE WEAPONS THEY WOULD USE AS FAULTY PROPS. WHO ARE THESE GUYS? THREE GUNS HAVE BEEN SEIZED, INCLUDING A DOUBLE-BARELLED SHOTGUN. THE ONE THAT KILLED JOHANN OFFNER WAS LIKELY LOADED WITH BLANKS. BUT EXPERTS SAY THE WEAPON MAY STILL HAVE DISCHARGED DANGEROUS AMOUNT OF FORCE, ESPECIALLY AT SHORT RANGE. NINE NEWS UNDERSTANDS IT MAY HAVE BEEN FIRED FROM AS LITTLE AS 2M AWAY. YEAH, IN A PERFECT WORLD, YOU'D SHOOT IT AT A CERTAIN DISTANCE, 5 METRES TO 10 METRES AT LEAST, AWAY FROM THE ACTOR. THE CARTRIDGES WILL ALSO BE TESTED TO SEE IF DEBRIS WAS WRONGLY LEFT INSIDE. ANNUAL RATANA CELEBRATIONS GOT FEISTY TODAY IN VERBAL EXCHANGES BETWEEN A NEWBY AND A VETERAN POLITICIAN. GARETH MORGAN CLAIMED WINSTON PETERS HAS SOLD OUT MAORI, THE NZ FIRST LEADER HISSING BACK LIKE A THREATENED CAT. POLITICAL REPORTER ANDREA VANCE HAS MORE. AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU. AND YOU TOO! IT WAS ALL PLEASANTRIES OFF THE MARAE AT RATANA, BUT A VERY DIFFERENT STORY WHEN ROOKIE POLITICIAN GARETH MORGAN TRADED VERBAL BLOWS WITH THE VETERAN WINSTON PETERS. I CANNOT UNDERSTAND WHY MAORI DON'T STAND UP AND CALL WINSTON OUT FOR BEING NOTHING MORE THAN AN UNCLE TOM AND AN ENVOY OF THE 'KIWI, NOT IWI' FRINGE. IT'S A LONG TIME SINCE I'VE BEEN RAVAGED BY A TOOTHLESS SHEEP. HIS CHESHIRE CAT GRIN CANNOT HIDE THE FACT THAT NZ FIRST IS SELLING MAORI DOWN THE RIVER. HE'S A DISGRACE. GARETH MORGAN WAS HERE SHOOTING FOR RATANA VOTES FOR HIS NEW 'OPPORTUNITY PARTY' AND SAYS MAORI SHOULD CRY FOUL AGAINST NZ FIRST. IT SEEMS TO BE THAT PETERS GETS AWAY WITH THIS ANTI-TREATY STUFF BECAUSE HE IS MAORI. THE OLD ADAGE THAT YOU CAN'T BE RACIST AGAINST YOUR OWN RACE ` I DON'T ACCEPT THAT EXCUSE. WINSTON PETERS HIT BACK... AT THE MEDIA, SAYING WE SHOULDN'T REPORT MR MORGAN'S COMMENTS. HE'S DESPERATE FOR PUBLICITY, AND I CAN GUARANTEE, GIVEN THE CHARACTER OF NZ MEDIA, THEY'LL GIVE IT TO HIM. GARETH MORGAN TOLD HIS RATANA AUDIENCE THAT PARLIAMENT SHOULD INTRODUCE AN UPPER HOUSE ` A BIT LIKE BRITAIN'S HOUSE OF LORDS. BUT LABOUR WOULD RATHER SEE MONEY GOING INTO BUILDING HOUSES. I'LL KEEP MY FOCUS FIRMLY ON THE GOVERNMENT. IN THE END, THAT'S WHAT HAS TO CHANGE IF WE WANNA MAKE A DIFFERENCE FOR MAORI. ONE THING'S FOR CERTAIN ` WITH GARETH MORGAN COMPARING WINSTON PETERS TO DON BRASH ON RACE RELATIONS... THE TWO ARE BLACK AND WHITE FACSIMILES OF EACH OTHER. ...AND MR PETERS WITH THIS BARB FOR GARETH MORGAN,... A THINNED DOWN VERSION OF KIM DOTCOM! ...THERE'LL BE NO OPPORTUNITY FOR AN ALLIANCE BETWEEN GARETH MORGAN AND WINSTON PETERS. ANDREA VANCE, 1 NEWS. OUR PRIME MINISTER WILL BE JAMMIN' HIS WAY THROUGH THE WAITANGI WEEKEND THIS YEAR, OPTING TO SPEND PART OF OUR NATIONAL DAY AT A REGGAE CONCERT IN WEST AUCKLAND INSTEAD OF WAITANGI BECAUSE OF AN ONGOING DISAGREEMENT ABOUT SPEAKING RIGHTS.
