IT'S MIDDAY. HORROR ON THE ROADS. THE EASTER DEATH TOLL IS THREE TIMES THAT OF LAST YEAR. SO WHAT'S BEING DONE TO MAKE OUR ROADS SAFER? IT'S THE FIRST ANNIVERSARY OF ORANGA TAMARIKI, BUT CRITICS SAY MORE WORK IS NEEDED TO HELP KIWI FAMILIES. PLUS, CHINA HITS BACK AT US TRADE TARIFFS BY IMPOSING THEIR OWN IMPORT LEVIES. CAPTIONS WERE MADE WITH THE SUPPORT OF NZ ON AIR. COPYRIGHT ABLE 2018 AHIAHI MARIE, GOOD AFTERNOON. THE EASTER ROAD TOLL FOR 2018 IS THREE TIMES HIGHER THAN LAST YEAR. SIX PEOPLE TRAGICALLY DIED OVER THE LONG WEEKEND, ADDING TO A TOTAL OF 107 DEATHS ON OUR ROADS SO FAR THIS YEAR. LAURA TWYMAN JOINS US LIVE WITH MORE. This is the highest Easter weekend road toll in eight years since 2010. It finished this morning, and this morning two people were killed in a head-on collision. A man has been arrested in relation to that crash. Triple that of last year. It is six this weekend. 107 now have been killed on our roads. Higher than last year's. Police are highly frustrated and extremely disappointed. While they don't know all the courses of the crashes, They suspect it's the usual courses, like speed, no seatbelts and distraction. I think there are a number ofInitiatives we should be looking at increases 85 our roads. Safety has to be a priority. We want to focus on that. There's a strong message from police and that is to be patient. So that more people do not end up in the position of losing their lives. A very good message indeed. ONE YEAR AGO TODAY, 'CHILD YOUTH AND FAMILY' DISBANDED TO FORM ORANGA TAMARIKI AS PART OF A MAJOR OVERHAUL OF NEW ZEALAND'S SOCIAL WORK SYSTEM. THE MOVE WAS AIMED AT TACKLING HIGH LEVELS OF RE-ABUSE AND RE-VICTIMISATION. BUT CRITICS SAY THEY'RE YET TO NOTICE ANY SIGNIFICANT CHANGES WITHIN THE GOVERNMENT AGENCY. JORDAN OPPERT REPORTS. REFLECTING BACK ON THE LAST 12 MONTHS, ORANGA TAMARIKI SAY THEY'RE OFF TO A PROMISING START. WE HAVE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE APPLYING TO WORK FOR ORANGA TAMARIKI, WE HAVE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE APPLYING TO WORK FOR ORANGA TAMARIKI, AND OUR RETENTION RATE IS VERY GOOD. THAN A 10% TURNOVER AT THE MOMENT, SO I'M DELIGHTED. PEOPLE WANT TO COME AND WORK, AND THEY SEEM TO BE VERY HAPPY IN THEIR WORK, AND THEY SEEM TO WANT TO STAY. THE MINISTRY FOR CHILDREN SAYS IT NOW HAS RESOURCES TO COPE WITH THE DEMANDS OF FAMILIES IN NEED. WE HAVE MORE SOCIAL WORKERS SPENDING MORE TIME WITH KIDS. WE HAVE SPENT A LOT OF TIME LISTENING TO CHILDREN AND HOW THEY FEEL THE SYSTEM IS WORKING FOR THEM AND HOW IT'S NOT WORKING FOR THEM. WE'VE BEEN LISTENING TO CAREGIVERS AND LISTENING TO PARTNERS. SO WE'VE BEEN REDESIGNING SERVICES AND DELIVERING SERVICES DIFFERENTLY. BUT THE ORGANISATION HAS FACED CRITICISM OVER ITS PRACTICES. ONE GROUP TACKLING DOMESTIC VIOLENCE RATES SAY NEW ZEALAND'S SOCIAL WORKERS AREN'T AS WELL TRAINED AS THEY SHOULD BE. WHAT WE HAVE FOUND IS SOCIAL WORKERS OVERALL SEEM TO NOT HAVE WHAT WE HAVE FOUND IS SOCIAL WORKERS OVERALL SEEM TO NOT HAVE A GOOD UNDERSTANDING OF VIOLENCE AND ABUSE. SO WHEN CHILDREN AND MOTHERS ARE TALKING ABOUT WHAT IT'S LIKE LIVING WITH AN ABUSIVE HUSBAND OR FATHER AND TRYING TO GET AWAY, THE RESPONSE IS VERY POOR. SO IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT THAT THEY TALK TO CHILDREN, BUT ALSO TO THE AND MOTHERS OF THE CHILDREN, BUT ALSO TO THE MOTHERS OF THE CHILDREN, COS THESE AREN'T ORPHANED CHILDREN; THESE ARE CHILDREN WITH PROTECTIVE MOTHERS WHO ARE SAYING VERY LOUDLY AND CLEARLY TO BACKBONE THAT ORANGA TAMARIKI IS NOT MAKING THEIR CHILDREN SAFE. ORANGA TAMARIKI WAS SET UP UNDER THE NATIONAL GOVERNMENT. PARTY LEADER SIMON BRIDGES SAYS WHILST IT'S MAKING REASONABLE PROGRESS, CONTINUED FUNDING FOR THE ORGANISATION IS CRUCIAL. WE'RE PUTTING IN ABOUT $434M OVER FOUR YEARS. THE QUESTION IS ` AND WE WERE CLEAR ` IT WILL NEED MORE FUNDING, AND I HOPE THE GOVERNMENT WILL DO THAT SO THAT IT CAN WORK BUT BE TARGETED AT THOSE MOST VULNERABLE, NOT A CATCH-ALL FOR ALL NEW ZEALAND CHILDREN, BECAUSE NOT ALL NZ CHILDREN NEED THIS KIND OF ASSISTANCE. WITH A GROWING NUMBER OF KIWI KIDS BECOMING CAUGHT UP IN THE SOCIAL WORK SYSTEM, THE GOVERNMENT WILL BE KEEPING A CLOSE EYE ON ORANGA TAMARIKI'S PROGRESS OVER THE NEXT 12 MONTHS. JORDAN OPPERT, 1 NEWS. THE TRADE WAR BETWEEN THE UNITED STATES AND CHINA HAS INTENSIFIED, THE CHINESE RETALIATING AGAINST US STEEL TARIFFS BY ENFORCING THEIR OWN. THE COUNTRY'S IMPOSED TAXES OF UP TO 25% ON SOME AMERICAN FOOD EXPORTS. THE BBC'S GARY O'DONOGHUE REPORTS. AT THE WHITE HOUSE TODAY, THE TRUMPS WERE ENTERTAINING CHILDREN IN THE ANNUAL EASTER EGG ROLL. (WHISTLES TRILL) BUT ALL THE JOLLITY COULDN'T MASK THE FACT THAT ON TRADE, THE PRESIDENT'S HARD LINE MEANS THE CHICKENS ARE COMING HOME TO ROOST. CHINA'S RETALIATION WAS NEVER IN DOUBT. BUT ON WHAT, AND HOW MUCH, WAS THE QUESTION. NOW WE KNOW $3B OF U.S. GOODS WILL FACE EXTRA IMPORT DUTIES OF UP TO 25%, COVERING 128 SEPARATE ITEMS. ONE OF THE SECTORS THAT WILL BE HARDEST HIT BY THE NEW DUTIES WILL BE AMERICAN PIG FARMERS. THEY EXPORT MORE THAN $1B WORTH OF PORK TO CHINA. ABOUT 26% OF ALL U.S. PORK PRODUCTION IS EXPORTED, AND MOST OF THE GROWTH COMES FROM OUTSIDE U.S. BORDERS. SO ANY RESTRICTION ON EXPORT MARKETS IS NOT A GOOD DEVELOPMENT FOR U.S. PORK PRODUCERS. WE ARE FOCUSED ON MAINTAINING AND EXPANDING EXPORT OPPORTUNITIES, SO THIS WAS NOT GOOD NEWS FOR US. THE U.S. WINE INDUSTRY IS ALSO FACING BIG NEW BARRIERS TO TRADE WITH CHINA, AN AREA WHERE AMERICA SAW 10% GROWTH LAST YEAR UNDER DONALD TRUMP. HE IS RIGHT IN CERTAIN AREAS OF TARGETING DIFFERENT ASPECTS OF THIS DISPUTE, BUT THE BROAD, SWEEPING TARIFFS WE'VE SEEN HAVE NOT, MAYBE, ACHIEVED THE GOALS THAT HE MIGHT WANT TO SEE IN THE LONG RUN. DOING SOMETHING ABOUT THE SUBSTANTIAL TRADE DEFICIT WITH CHINA WAS A KEY PART OF DONALD TRUMP'S ELECTION SUCCESS. BUT IT COMES WITH RISKS, BOTH ECONOMIC AND POLITICAL. THESE ARE JUST THE OPENING SKIRMISHES IN WHAT THREATENS TO BECOME A FULL-BLOWN TRADE WAR. THE U.S. IS ALREADY PLANNING RESTRICTIONS ON A FURTHER $60B WORTH OF CHINESE IMPORTS. AND CHINA, IN RETURN, COULD HIT THOSE MID-WEST FARMING STATES HARD. IN A CONGRESSIONAL ELECTION YEAR, THAT COULD POSE THE PRESIDENT SOME SERIOUS POLITICAL PROBLEMS. AND STAYING IN THE U.S., CONNIE LAWN, THE LONGEST SERVING MEMBER OF THE WHITE HOUSE PRESS CORPS, HAS DIED. LOCATION MS LAWN HAS CLOSE TIES TO NEW ZEALAND, INCLUDING BEING AWARDED A LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD IN 2006 AND A NEW ZEALAND ORDER OF MERIT. HER DEATH COMES AFTER A LONG BATTLE WITH PARKINSON'S DISEASE. SHE WAS 73. JURY SELECTION FOR THE RETRIAL OF DISGRACED COMEDIAN BILL COSBY IS TAKING PLACE TODAY. THE FIRST JUROR HAS BEEN SEATED IN THE CASE, AND INDICATED HE WOULDN'T LET THE 'ME TOO' MOVEMENT INFLUENCE HIS ABILITY TO BE IMPARTIAL. COSBY IS ACCUSED OF DRUGGING AND MOLESTING A FORMER UNIVERSITY ADMINISTRATOR AT HIS HOME IN 2004. IT COMES AFTER THE JUDGE DECLARED A MISTRIAL LAST JUNE. AND OUR U.S. CORRESPONDENT REBECCA WRIGHT SAYS THIS TIME THE PROSECUTION WILL HEAR FROM FIVE OTHER WOMEN WHO SAY BILL COSBY DRUGGED AND THEN SEXUALLY ASSAULTED THEM. IT'S A BIG BREAKTHROUGH FOR THE PROSECUTION, WHO WILL BE TRYING TO BUILD A CASE THAT BILL COSBY WAS ACTUALLY A SERIAL SEXUAL ASSAULTER WHO HAD A TRIED AND TESTED METHOD OF DRUGGING AND THEN SEXUALLY ASSAULTING HIS VICTIMS. THIS WAS NOT A ONE-OFF INCIDENT, ACCORDING THE PROSECUTION. IN FACT, IT WAS NOT A MISUNDERSTANDING, WHICH IS WHAT BILL COSBY HAS BEEN CLAIMING ALL ALONG. THIS IS ALL HAPPENING AGAINST THE BACKGROUND OF THE 'ME TOO' MOVEMENT, WHICH CERTAINLY WASN'T SO MUCH IN PLAY WHEN HE WENT TO TRIAL THIS TIME LAST YEAR. THAT COULD MEAN THAT THE JURY IS MORE SYMPATHETIC. SEVEN PEOPLE HAVE DIED FOLLOWING VIOLENT PROTESTS IN INDIA, AFTER A SUPREME COURT BARRED THE ARREST OF PEOPLE WHO DISCRIMINATE AGAINST LOWER CASTE COMMUNITIES. PROTESTERS BLOCKED RAILWAYS AND SET FIRE TO POLICE POSTS. VIOLENCE AGAINST LOWER CASTES IS A PROBLEM ACROSS INDIA. THE GOVERNMENT HAS ASKED THE COURT TO REVIEW ITS DECISION. THE POPE IS SET TO VISIT IRELAND LATER THIS YEAR ` HIS FIRST TRIP THERE SINCE 1979. THE COUNTRY HAS CHANGED SIGNIFICANTLY SINCE THEN, FOLLOWING HISTORICAL SEX ABUSE SCANDALS AND DECLINING RATES OF CATHOLICISM. THE BBC'S MARTIN BASHIR REPORTS. PHOENIX PARK, DUBLIN IN 1979, THE LARGEST GATHERING OF IRISH PEOPLE IN HISTORY. 1.25M ATTENDED POPE JOHN PAUL'S MASS. AMONG THE SOLOISTS, MICHAEL McLOUGHLIN (22). AT THE TIME, 87% OF IRISH CATHOLICS WENT TO MASS. BUT FOLLOWING AN AVALANCHE OF CLERICAL SEX ABUSE SCANDALS, ATTENDANCE IS NOW AT 40%, AND MICHAEL McLOUGHLIN HAS ABANDONED THE FAITH. THESE ARE PEOPLE WHO WERE IN POSITIONS OF INCREDIBLE TRUST, AND THEY BETRAYED THAT TRUST. AND NOT ONLY THE ACTS THAT WERE PERPETRATED ON CHILDREN, BUT THERE WAS THE WIDESPREAD COVERING UP OF IT. THE HORRORS ENDURED IN THE MAGDALENE LAUNDRIES COMPOUNDED THE CHURCH'S RECENT SHAME. CATHOLIC WORK HOUSES INCARCERATED 10,000 SO-CALLED 'FALLEN WOMEN', WHO WERE FORCED TO ATONE FOR THEIR PREGNANCIES BY WORKING IN PUNITIVE CONDITIONS WITHOUT PAY. COSTUMED CAMPAIGNERS URGED CITIZENS TO VOTE IN A REFERENDUM ON IRELAND'S CONSTITUTIONAL BAN ON ABORTION, THE 8TH AMENDMENT. IT'LL TAKE PLACE NEXT MONTH, BEFORE THE POPE ARRIVES. BUT THIS WON'T BE HIS FIRST VISIT TO IRELAND. AS FATHER BERGOGLIO, HIS NAME IS SHOW IN THE RECORDS AT THIS SEMINARY, WHERE HE STAYED IN 1980. THERE WILL BE A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO WILL BE VERY UPLIFTED BY HIM COMING HERE. BUT I ALSO HAVE SOME WORRIES ABOUT IT, BECAUSE THE CATHOLIC CHURCH NOW, IN IRELAND, IS IN A DIFFICULT PLACE, YOU COULD SAY. ALMOST 40 YEARS AFTER THAT FIRST PAPAL VISIT, THE SECOND IS LIKELY TO BE A MORE SOBER AFFAIR. THE HEALTH MINISTER WAS NOT TOLD ABOUT ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS AT MIDDLEMORE HOSPITAL WHICH PLUNGED THE CAMPUS INTO DARKNESS FOR 18 MINUTES. THE INCIDENT HAPPENED TWO MONTHS AGO WHEN BACKUP GENERATORS FAILED TO KICK IN DURING A POWER CUT. THAT'S DESPITE HIS URGENT MEETING WITH THE COUNTIES MANUKAU DISTRICT HEALTH BOARD LAST WEEK TO DISCUSS BUILDING ISSUES. THE HEALTH BOARD IS EXPECTED TO PRODUCE A PLAN ON HOW IT WILL RESOLVE THE PROBLEMS. THERE HAS BEEN, OVER TIME, MORE AND MORE REVELATIONS COMING TO HAND ABOUT THE STATE OF BUILDINGS AT COUNTIES MANUKAU. SO WE HAVE ROT, WE HAVE MOULD, WE HAVE SEWAGE. AND I HAVE ASKED THE ACTING CHAIR OF COUNTIES MANUKAU TO EXPLAIN TO ME THE STATE OF THE ASSETS TO EXPLAIN TO ME THE STATE OF THE ASSETS AND THEIR PLAN FOR MANAGING THEM. AND A MAN'S BODY HAS BEEN FOUND ON A KIWIRAIL TRAIN AT TAURANGA'S PORT THIS MORNING. THE PORT AUTHORITY SAYS THE BODY WAS DISCOVERED AFTER THE TRAIN, CARRYING CONTAINERS FROM AUCKLAND, ARRIVED AT THE SULPHUR POINT TERMINAL BEFORE 7 O'CLOCK. POLICE ARE INVESTIGATING. THE POLICE ARE SEEKING INFORMATION ON A WHITE 2005 SUBARU LEGACY SEDAN, AFTER OFFICERS FATALLY SHOT A MAN IN AUCKLAND. OFFICERS ARE INTERESTED IN SIGHTINGS OF THE VEHICLE BETWEEN SILVERDALE AND WARKWORTH IN THE EARLY HOURS OF SATURDAY MORNING. THE 29-YEAR-OLD WAS SHOT BY POLICE ON STATE HIGHWAY ONE NEAR POHUEHUE AND DIED AT THE SCENE. HIS IDENTITY HAS NOT YET BEEN RELEASED. THE MOUNTAIN SAFETY COUNCIL IS URGING HUNTERS TO STICK TO THE FIREARMS SAFETY CODE AFTER A HUNTER WAS FATALLY SHOT YESTERDAY MORNING. THE MAN WAS HUNTING IN THE KAIMAI-MAMAKU FOREST IN WAIKATO AND DIED AT THE SCENE. THE POLICE SAY IT'S TOO EARLY TO TELL IF ANY CHARGES WILL BE LAID. THE MOUNTAIN SAFETY COUNCIL IS WORKING WITH THE POLICE TO DETERMINE THE CIRCUMSTANCES. SURF LIFESAVING SAYS IT'S OPEN TO WORKING WITH LOCAL AUTHORITIES TO PATROL SWIMMING SPOTS THAT REMAIN POPULAR OVER WINTER. THE LAST OF THE REGULAR BEACH PATROLS FINISHED AT EASTER WEEKEND, AND WON'T START AGAIN UNTIL SUMMER. LAST YEAR, SIX PEOPLE DROWNED AT BEACHES DURING THE OFF SEASON, AND PEOPLE ARE URGED TO TAKE CARE. IF YOU'RE NOT CONFIDENT, DON'T GO IN THE WATER. IF IN DOUBT, STAY OUT. AND REALLY UNDERSTAND WHAT THE RISKS MIGHT BE, AND BE VERY CAREFUL. AS THINGS GET WINDIER AND WEATHER GETS ROUGHER, THEN THE RISKS GO UP. STILL TO COME ON MIDDAY ` SHE WAS DUBBED THE 'MOTHER OF A NATION'. TRIBUTES POUR IN FOR ANTI-APARTHEID CAMPAIGNER WINNIE MANDELA, WHO'S DIED AGED 81. THE COMMONWEALTH GAMES DON'T START UNTIL TOMORROW, BUT THEY'RE ALREADY BEING OVERSHADOWED BY A POSSIBLE DOPING SCANDAL. AND DISASTER AS THE BLACKCAPS BATTING ORDER COLLAPSES ON THE FINAL DAY OF THE SECOND TEST IN CHRISTCHURCH. THE FORMER WIFE OF SOUTH AFRICA'S FIRST BLACK PRESIDENT, NELSON MANDELA, HAS DIED. ANTI-APARTHEID CAMPAIGNER WINNIE MADIKIZELA MANDELA PASSED AWAY FOLLOWING A LONG ILLNESS AT THE AGE OF 81. THE MANDELAS WERE A SYMBOL OF THE FIGHT AGAINST RACIAL SEGREGATION. THE BBC'S ANDREW HARDING TAKES A LOOK AT HER LIFE. IF HE BECAME A SAINTLY ICON, SHE WAS SOMETHING MORE COMPLICATED. HE WORLD WAS TRANSFORMED AT THE AGE OF 23 HER WORLD WAS TRANSFORMED AT THE AGE OF 23 WHEN SHE MET AND MARRIED NELSON MANDELA. HE WAS A LAWYER, ALREADY ACTIVE IN THE UNDERGROUND STRUGGLE AGAINST RACIAL APARTHEID AND SOON TO BE SENTENCE TO LIFE IMPRISONMENT. AGAINST RACIAL APARTHEID AND SOON TO BE SENTENCED TO LIFE IMPRISONMENT. MY HUSBAND HAS BEEN FIGHTING FOR THE LIBERATION OF THE AFRICAN PEOPLE. IN THE LONELY YEARS THAT FOLLOWED, SHE AND HER YOUNG DAUGHTERS WERE RUTHLESSLY HARASSED BY THE WHITE MINORITY GOVERNMENT. AS SOUTH AFRICA'S TOWNSHIPS ERUPTED IN VIOLENCE, WINNIE BECAME AN INCREASINGLY RADICAL, FIERY FIGUREHEAD. WE BRING UP THE WHITE MAN'S CHILDREN. WE COULD HAVE KILLED THEM ANY DAY WE WANTED TO. SHE ENDORSED THE VICIOUS PRACTICE OF NECKLACING ` PUTTING A BURNING TYRE AROUND THOSE SUSPECTED OF BETRAYING THE CAUSE. IN 1990, WINNIE WAS THERE TO GREET HER HUSBAND AS HE WALKED TO FREEDOM AND GUIDED SOUTH AFRICA ON ITS MIRACULOUS PATH TO DEMOCRACY. BUT THE YEARS OF SEPARATION HAD TAKEN A TOLL ON THEIR MARRIAGE. MANDELA ACCUSED HER OF INFIDELITY AND ASKED FOR A DIVORCE. WHATEVER IS HAPPENING IS SOMETHING WHICH CAUSES DEEP TRAUMA. IN HER LATER YEARS, STILL ACTIVE IN POLITICS, SHE WAS CONVICTED OF FRAUD. SHE BOUNCED BACK, SOMETIMES CHERISHING, SOMETIMES RESENTING HER LONG MARRIAGE TO NELSON MANDELA. SHE CLAIMED A PROMINENT PLACE AT HIS FUNERAL, THEN CONTESTED HIS WILL. AND TONIGHT, MANY HERE IN SOUTH AFRICA ARE REMEMBERING HER COURAGE AND DEFIANCE. SHE WAS COURAGEOUS, AND IN MANY WAYS, SHE WAS ALSO VERY STUBBORN. SHE KNEW THAT OUT OF HER STUBBORN DISPOSITION, SHE WOULD BE ABLE TO INSPIRE MILLIONS OF SOUTH AFRICANS. WINNIE MADIKIZELA MANDELA'S LIFE MIRRORED SOUTH AFRICA'S OWN TURBULENT JOURNEY, ITS VIOLENCE, ITS HEROISM. WE'RE ONLY A DAY AWAY FROM THE START OF THE COMMONWEALTH GAMES, BUT THE EVENT IS BEING OVERSHADOWED BY THE 'USED NEEDLE' SCANDAL. A TEAM HAS BEEN SUMMONED TO GIVE ITS ACCOUNT OF THE INCIDENT, WITH URGENT TESTS BEING DONE IN THE ATHLETES' VILLAGE. CHANNEL NINE'S DARREN CURTIS HAS MORE. ALLEGATIONS OF POTENTIAL DOPING HAVE SMUDGED THE PRE-GAME EXHILARATION AROUND THE ATHLETES' VILLAGE. IT WOULD BE UNFAIR, OBVIOUSLY, BECAUSE THE GAMES ARE MEANT TO BE FRIENDLY GAMES, AND EVERYONE'S COME HERE HAVING TRAINED HARD FOR THE LAST FOUR YEARS. OFFICIALS SAY THERE IS NO DOUBT THE DISCOVERY OF USED SYRINGES IS A CLEAR VIOLATION OF THE NO-NEEDLE POLICY. THESE NEEDLES HAVE BEEN BROUGHT IN, AND THEY WERE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE THERE. THERE'S NO CONFIRMATION YET OF WHAT SUBSTANCE WAS INJECTED OR WHETHER IT WAS FOR A GENUINE MEDICAL CONDITION. BUT INDIAN TEAM OFFICIALS TOLD REPORTERS THEY WERE THE ONES WHO FOUND THE NEEDLES AND HANDED THEM TO AUTHORITIES. INDIAN MEDIA HERE TO COVER THE GAMES SAY IF THERE IS A LINK TO THEIR ATHLETES, IT WILL BRING SHAME. GAMES BOSSES ARE RELUCTANT TO CONFIRM INDIA IS THE TEAM IN HOT WATER. BUT THEY ARE STAYING IN THE APARTMENT BLOCK CLOSEST TO WHERE THE NEEDLES WERE FOUND, AND WILL HAVE TO JUSTIFY WHY THEY SHOULDN'T FACE SANCTIONS. PENALTIES ARE AT THE DISCRETION OF A SPECIAL COURT CONVENED BY GAMES OFFICIALS AND CAN RANGE FROM A WARNING TO A COMPLETE TEAM EXPULSION. FROM MY POINT OF VIEW, THERE WILL ALWAYS BE CHEATS. WHEN THERE IS A REWARD AND SOMETHING AT THE END OF THE DAY, THERE WILL ALWAYS BE SOMEONE LOOKING FOR THAT SHORT CUT. THE GAMES VILLAGE IS ALSO DEALING WITH AN OUTBREAK OF FLU. THREE PATIENTS HAVE NOW TESTED POSITIVE TO EXTREMELY INFECTIONS STRAINS OF INFLUENZA. THEY'VE BEEN ISOLATED, AND ATHLETES THAT HAVE COME INTO CLOSE CONTACT WITH THEM HAVE BEEN OFFERED ANTIVIRAL MEDICATION. THE PATIENTS INVOLVED WILL REMAIN QUARANTINED, AND IT'S LIKELY THEY WILL MISS THE OPENING CEREMONY ON WEDNESDAY NIGHT. TO SPORT, AND THE BLACKCAPS ARE STRUGGLING ON THE FINAL DAY OF THE DECIDING TEST AGAINST ENGLAND, AS NEW ZEALAND CHASE 382 FOR VICTORY. OPENING BATSMAN JEET RAVAL FELL WITH THE FIRST DELIVERY OF THE DAY BEFORE SKIPPER KANE WILLIAMSON SUFFERED HIS FIRST GOLDEN DUCK OF HIS TEST CAREER THE VERY NEXT BALL. It's taken! What a delivery, Kane Williamson! That was a great start to the morning. SHORTLY AFTERWARDS LEFT THE BLACKCAPS IN TATTERS. BUT TOM LATHAM'S HALF CENTURY HAS GIVEN NEW ZEALAND SOME HOPE, WITH THE BLACKCAPS FIGHTING BACK AT 120/4. THE KIWIS NEED A WIN OR A DRAW TO CLAIM THEIR FIRST SERIES OVER ENGLAND SINCE 1999. SOUTH AFRICA, MEANWHILE, ARE ON TRACK FOR THEIR FIRST HOME TEST SERIES WIN AGAINST AUSTRALIA SINCE 1970, AHEAD OF THE FINAL DAY OF THEIR CONTROVERSIAL TOUR. THE AUSSIES START DAY FIVE REELING, AT 88/3, STILL NEEDING ANOTHER WHOPPING 524 RUNS FOR VICTORY. KIWIS VETERAN PLAYMAKER BENJI MARSHALL HAS TURNED BACK THE CLOCK TO PROPEL THE WEST TIGERS TO VICTORY OVER THE PARRAMATTA EELS. MARSHALL'S LIGHT-FOOTED TRICKERY WAS BACK AT ITS BEST AS HE PLAYED A ROLE IN THREE OF THE TIGERS' FIVE TRIES LAST NIGHT. THE FIVE-EIGHT PUNISHED THE EELS AS THE TIGERS MOVED INSIDE THE TOP FOUR. WHAT ABOUT THE PICKUP? OH, HE'S LUCKY. WHAT ABOUT THE PICKUP FROM TUI LOLOHEA? HERE GO THE TIGERS. MICHAEL CHEE KAM LINKS UP WITH ESAN MASTERS. MARSHALL DID SO WELL. MASTERS GETS TO WILL SMITH. GIVES IT TO THOMPSON. THOMPSON FOR A SECOND! AND HE GETS IT! A LATE FIGHTBACK WAS NOT ENOUGH TO SAVE PARRAMATTA AS THEY WENT DOWN 30-20 AND REMAIN ANCHORED TO THE BOTTOM OF THE NRL LADDER. STAYING IN AUSTRALIA, AND COMMONWEALTH GAMES ORGANISERS HAVE GONE THROUGH THE FINAL DETAILS ON THE GOLD COAST AHEAD OF TOMORROW'S OPENING CEREMONY. THE DRESS REHEARSAL WENT OFF WITHOUT A HITCH, AS THE EVENT LOOKS TO SHOWCASE THE BEST OF AUSTRALIAN CULTURE. THE KIWI FLAG BEARER, WHO WILL BE NAMED LATER TODAY, WILL JOIN MORE THAN 6000 ATHLETES AT CARRARA STADIUM FOR TOMORROW NIGHT'S EXTRAVAGANZA. AND YOU CAN CATCH THAT AND ALL OF THE GAMES ACTION ACROSS TVNZ. AFTER A TUMULTUOUS PAST WEEK IN THE VOLVO OCEAN RACE, THE REGATTA'S LATEST LEG IS DRAWING TO A CLOSE, WITH KIWI PETER BURLING'S TEAM BRUNEL LEADING THE WAY. THE AMERICA'S CUP WINNER'S DUTCH CREW IS JUST AHEAD OF RIVAL DONGFENG ON THE LEG'S FINAL STRETCH FROM AUCKLAND TO BRAZIL. A PHOTO FINISH IS EXPECTED FOR THE TWO VESSELS WHEN THEY CROSS THE LINE IN SOUTH AMERICA EARLY TOMORROW MORNING. STILL TO COME ON MIDDAY, I'LL BE BACK WITH THE AFTERNOON WEATHER. TIME NOW TO TAKE A LOOK AT THE REST OF TODAY'S WEATHER. A REMINDER OF OUR TOP STORY. THE EASTER ROAD TOLL IS THREE TIMES HIGHER THAN LAST YEAR, AFTER SIX PEOPLE DIED OVER THE WEEKEND. TIME NOW TO TAKE A LOOK AT THE REST OF TODAY'S WEATHER. # there you go, and here am I. # golly Gee, what have you done to me? # well, I guess it doesn't matter any more. # do you remember, baby, last September? # # I guess it doesn't matter any more. # FOR WEATHER, SEE TVNZ.CO.NZ THANKS FOR YOUR COMPANY. FROM THE 1 NEWS MIDDAY TEAM, GOOD AFTERNOON. CAPTIONS BY GLENNA CASALME AND JAMES BROWN. CAPTIONS WERE MADE WITH THE SUPPORT OF NZ ON AIR.
