TONIGHT ` A DERAILED TRAIN AT AUCKLAND'S MAIN TRAIN STATION THREATENS TO PLUNGE THE CITY INTO COMMUTER CHAOS TOMORROW MORNING. DONALD TRUMP TELLS IRAN 'NO DEAL'. WHY THE MOVE IS NOT JUST SPARKING GLOBAL CONCERNS, BUT COULD ALSO HIT YOU IN THE POCKET. AND HE'S THE ARTIST KNOWN FOR BREAKING ALL THE RULES. NOW BILLY APPLE'S BEEN WELCOMED INTO A NEW EXCLUSIVE CLUB. CAPTIONS BY JUNE YEOW AND JEAN TENG. CAPTIONS WERE MADE WITH THE SUPPORT OF NZ ON AIR. COPYRIGHT ABLE 2018 KIA ORA, GOOD EVENING. AUCKLAND COMMUTERS WILL FACE MAJOR DISRUPTIONS TOMORROW MORNING, WITH A DERAILED TRAIN KEEPING THE CITY'S MAIN TRAIN STATION SHUT. WHILE NO ONE WAS HURT, INVESTIGATORS ARE TRYING TO WORK OUT JUST HOW THE TRAIN CAME OFF THE TRACKS. LAURA TWYMAN REPORTS. TENS OF THOUSANDS OF AUCKLANDERS FORCED TO ALTER THEIR TRANSPORT PLANS WITH BRITOMART STATION OUT OF ACTION. GOING TO BE A LONG JOURNEY HOME TONIGHT. IT'S VERY HARD COS I HAVE A CHILD AT HOME I NEED TO GET HOME TO. IT'S PRETTY FRUSTRATING. COS I'VE GOT A CLASS IN THE MORNING, SO IT'S GONNA AFFECT ME REAL BAD. THE STATION WAS CLOSED AFTER A TRAIN COMING INTO THE CBD FROM MANUKAU THIS MORNING DERAILED. THREE OF SIX CARRIAGES COMING OFF THE TRACKS AND HITTING THE WALL. THE INCIDENT TRAPPING OVER 30 PASSENGERS FOR ABOUT AN HOUR. IT WAS COMING WITH QUITE A BIT OF SPEED, AND THEN YOU FELT HIM COME ON THE BREAKS. AND I WAS THE PERSON UP IN THE FRONT CARRIAGE, SO I WAS RIGHT AROUND WHERE IT DISRAILED. TRAIN DERAILMENTS ARE VERY VERY RARE. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME IN MY MEMORY THAT ANYTHING'S HAPPENED TO THIS EXTENT IN BRITOMART, SO WE'RE VERY THANKFUL THAT ACTUALLY THERE WERE NO REPORTED INJURIES. INSPECTORS FROM THE TRANSPORT ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION COMMISSION HAVE FLOWN UP FROM WELLINGTON TO WORK OUT WHAT WENT WRONG. INTERVIEW THE TRAIN OPERATOR TRANSDEV AND EFFECTIVELY REVERSE ENGINEER THE INCIDENT TO MAKE SURE THIS CAN'T HAPPEN AGAIN. THE NEXT JOB ` TO GET THE TRAIN BACK ON THE TRACKS USING SPECIALIST HYDRAULIC EQUIPMENT. AND IT'S TOO EARLY TO SPECULATE HOW LONG IT WILL TAKE TO CLEAR THE LINE. HOPEFULLY` WE'RE HOPING RELATIVELY QUICKLY ONCE THE RAIL REGULATOR AND KIWIRAIL, THE TRACK INFRASTRUCTURE PROVIDER, HAVE DONE THE INVESTIGATION. BRITOMART STATION WON'T BE BACK UP AND RUNNING IN TIME FOR COMMUTERS TOMORROW MORNING. BUT SOME TRAIN LINES WILL STILL BE OPERATING, ALTHOUGH WITH DELAYS. THEY'LL BE ARRIVING AND DEPARTING FROM STATIONS NEAR TOWN, WITH BUSES SET UP TO GET PEOPLE THE REST OF THE WAY. THE DISRUPTION EXPECTED TO EFFECT TENS OF THOUSANDS OF AUCKLANDERS WHO USE TRAINS DAILY. LAURA TWYMAN, 1 NEWS TENSIONS AND UNCERTAINTY HAVE ESCALATED TONIGHT AFTER DONALD TRUMP DEFIED ALLIES AND THE WORLD BY DUMPING THE IRAN NUCLEAR DEAL. WHEN THE DEAL WAS SIGNED THREE YEARS AGO, CRIPPLING SANCTIONS ON IRAN WERE LIFTED IN EXCHANGE FOR A LIMIT ON NUCLEAR ACTIVITIES. US CORRESPONDENT REBECCA WRIGHT WITH THE FALLOUT TONIGHT. IT'S THE EXIT THAT MANY FEARED. IT IS CLEAR TO ME THAT WE CANNOT PREVENT AN IRANIAN NUCLEAR BOMB UNDER THE DECAYING AND ROTTEN STRUCTURE OF THE CURRENT AGREEMENT. PRESIDENT TRUMP TEARING UP THE IRAN NUCLEAR DEAL, CALLING IT AN EMBARRASSMENT TO ALL AMERICANS. AMERICA WILL NOT BE HELD HOSTAGE TO NUCLEAR BLACKMAIL. WE WILL NOT ALLOW AMERICAN CITIES TO BE THREATENED WITH DESTRUCTION, AND WE WILL NOT ALLOW A REGIME THAT CHANTS 'DEATH TO AMERICA' TO GAIN ACCESS TO THE MOST DEADLY WEAPONS ON EARTH. WITH A STROKE OF HIS PRESIDENTIAL PEN, TRUMP UNLEASHING A NEW REALITY IN THE MIDDLE EAST. POWERFUL SANCTIONS WILL GO INTO FULL EFFECT. IF THE REGIME CONTINUES ITS NUCLEAR ASPIRATIONS, IT WILL HAVE BIGGER PROBLEMS THAN IT HAS EVER HAD BEFORE. THE PRESIDENT TODAY FULFILLING A CAMPAIGN PROMISE TO PUT AMERICA FIRST, BUT FURTHER ISOLATING THE US FROM ITS ALLIES. SINCE 2015, THE DEAL'S OTHER SIGNATORIES BELIEVE IT'S CURTAILED IRAN'S ABILITY TO DEVELOP NUCLEAR WEAPONS WHILE GIVING THE COUNTRY RELIEF FROM PUNISHING SANCTIONS. THE NUCLEAR DEAL WITH IRAN IS CRUCIAL FOR THE SECURITY OF THE REGION OF EUROPE AND OF THE ENTIRE WORLD. AS LONG AS IRAN CONTINUES TO IMPLEMENT ITS NUCLEAR-RELATED COMMITMENTS, AS IT IS DOING SO FAR, THE EUROPEAN UNION WILL REMAIN COMMITTED. IRAN TOO IS STAYING IN, FOR NOW, BUT ITS LEADER ISSUING A WARNING. TRANSLATOR: I ORDERED THE IRANIAN ATOMIC ENERGY ORGANISATION TO BE READY FOR ACTION IF NEEDED, SO THAT, IF NECESSARY, WE CAN BEGIN OUR INDUSTRIAL ENRICHMENT WITHOUT ANY LIMITATIONS. TONIGHT IN TEHRAN THEY'RE BRACING FOR ECONOMIC TURMOIL, THE IRANIAN CURRENCY ALREADY PLUNGING. AND PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA, WHO BROKERED THE 2015 AGREEMENT, PREDICTING... BUT DESPITE THE FACT IT'S THE U.S. WHICH HAS NOW BROKEN AWAY FROM THE DEAL, TRUMP APPEARS TO BE BETTING HE CAN BRING IRAN BACK TO THE TABLE. THE FACT IS THEY ARE GOING TO WANT TO MAKE A NEW AND LASTING DEAL, ONE THAT BENEFITS ALL OF IRAN AND THE IRANIAN PEOPLE. WHEN THEY DO, I AM READY, WILLING AND ABLE. IT'S AN IMMENSELY RISKY STRATEGY BECAUSE IF NOT, GLOBAL SECURITY AND STABILITY IN THE MIDDLE EAST HANG IN THE BALANCE. RESIDENTS IN HAWAII ARE TONIGHT BRACING FOR MORE ERUPTIONS FROM MT KILAUEA, BUT THEY DON'T KNOW WHERE THE LAVA COULD COME FROM EXACTLY. THIS MORNING, TWO NEW CRACKS IN THE EARTH OPENED UP, RESIDENTS BRACING FOR MORE LAVA FLOWS. THE TROPICAL FOREST ON BIG ISLAND NOW A RIVER OF ASH AND RED HOT LAVA; ROADS SLOWLY BEING CONSUMED BY A WALL OF MOLTEN ROCK. 1800 PEOPLE ARE UNABLE TO RETURN TO THEIR HOMES BECAUSE THEY'VE BEEN EITHER DESTROYED BY LAVA OR TOXIC GAS CONCENTRATION IS TOO HIGH. WHAT'S THE SADDEST THING FOR YOU RIGHT NOW? I SAW THREE HOUSES BURN YESTERDAY WITH MY OWN EYES ` BURNED RIGHT DOWN TO THE GROUND. AND SCIENTISTS SAY THEY'RE DETECTING MORE VOLCANIC ACTIVITY IN NEW AREAS OF THE ISLAND, SUGGESTING ANOTHER ERUPTION ISN'T FAR AWAY. A DECADE. THAT'S HOW LONG THE GOVERNMENT SAYS THOSE ON THE FRONTLINE OF FAMILY VIOLENCE HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR A FUNDING BOOST. $76M WAS ANNOUNCED FOR THE SECTOR TODAY AS PART OF NEXT WEEK'S BUDGET. EMILY COOPER HAS MORE DETAILS AND REACTION. THIS IS A DROP-IN CENTRE TO HELP WOMEN WHO FIND THEMSELVES IN VIOLENT SITUATIONS. SOME OF THE ISSUES THAT WE FACE ARE VERY COMPLEX ISSUES SUCH AS FORCED MARRIAGE, UNDERAGE MARRIAGE, HONOUR-BASED VIOLENCE. SHAKTI WOMEN'S CENTRE PROVIDES DOMESTIC VIOLENCE INTERVENTION, COUNSELLING AND LEGAL HELP FOR ETHNIC WOMEN. THE NUMBERS ARE INCREASING WITH EACH PASSING YEAR. BUT IT'S BEEN ON THE VERGE OF CLOSURE. AND THEY'RE NOT THE ONLY ONES STRUGGLING. WE'VE HAD TO CUT SOME SERVICES, WE HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO GIVE GOOD WAGE INCREASES TO OUR STAFF, WE'VE HAD TO ACTUALLY LAY STAFF OFF. ORGANISATIONS LIKE THIS MAY HAVE JUST BEEN GIVEN A LIFELINE, THE GOVERNMENT TODAY ANNOUNCING A BOOST FOR AROUND 150 PROVIDERS OF FAMILY VIOLENCE SERVICES OF $76M OVER FOUR YEARS. THERE ARE ACTUALLY SOME WELL-KNOWN SERVICES THAT ARE FREQUENTLY USED BY FAMILIES IN NEED WHO ARE REALLY STRUGGLING JUST TO MEET THE DEMAND THAT THEY HAVE NOW ` THE LIKES OF WOMEN'S REFUGE OR GROUPS LIKE SHAKTI. THIS IS ABOUT MAKING SURE THAT THEY CAN KEEP THEIR DOORS OPEN AND KEEP DOING THE WORK THEY DO. THE PRIME MINISTER SAYS IT'S THE FIRST FUNDING INCREASE TO FRONTLINE SERVICES IN A DECADE. BUT NATIONAL SAYS IT DID INVEST IN THE SECTOR. WELL, $169M THAT OUR GOVERNMENT INVESTED IN 2016 I THINK REALLY SPEAKS TO THE COMMITMENT THAT OUR GOVERNMENT MADE. THERE'S STORIES OF PEOPLE TELLING SEVEN DIFFERENT ORGANISATIONS THAT THEY ARE IN DANGER, AND THEN IT TAKES A POLICE CALL-OUT BEFORE THEY GET A RESPONSE. FAMILY VIOLENCE NOT THE ONLY FOCUS TODAY, BUT ALSO CHILD POVERTY. FAMILY VIOLENCE IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST PROBLEMS IN CREATING POVERTY. A SELECT COMMITTEE TODAY IS LOOKING AT THE ISSUE, WITH MANY CALLING ON THE GOVERNMENT TO GO FURTHER. I'M EXCITED. I THINK THERE'S A REAL OPPORTUNITY FOR THIS TO BE A GAME-CHANGING BUDGET. BUT ITS GOT TO BE MORE THAN JUST A ONE-OFF. AND IT'S LIKELY WE'LL SEE MORE FUNDING FOR FAMILIES AND CHILD POVERTY IN NEXT WEEK'S BUDGET, THE PRIME MINISTER SAYING TODAY SHE WANTS TO REDUCE CHILD POVERTY TO HISTORIC LOWS. BUT THOSE WORKING ON THE FRONT LINE SAY IT NEEDS TO GO BEYOND THIS BUDGET AND BE SUSTAINABLE. EMILY COOPER, 1 NEWS. THE CITIZENSHIP SAGA THAT SAW BARNABY JOYCE IN THE FIRING LINE LAST YEAR CONTINUES TAKE ITS TOLL ON AUSSIE POLITICS, TODAY SPARKING FOUR BY-ELECTIONS BECAUSE THE HIGH COURT DECIDED MPS WEREN'T ELIGIBLE FOR OFFICE. LABOR IS IN DAMAGE CONTROL, WITH THREE MPS FORCED TO QUIT, ALONG WITH A CROSS-BENCHER. CHANNEL NINE'S KERRIE YAXLEY REPORTS. AS THE HIGH COURT RULED LABOR KATY GALLAGHER INELIGIBLE TO SIT IN THE PARLIAMENT, THE FATES OF FOUR MORE WERE SEALED. ONE BY ONE, THEY FELL ON THEIR SWORDS. CROSS-BENCHER REBECCA SHARKEY... I RESPECT THE COURT'S DECISION. ...AND LABOR MPS JUSTINE KEAY,.. I WILL BE RESIGNING MY SEAT. ...JOSH WILSON,... I'LL BE WRITING TO YOU, MR SPEAKER, TO ADVISE YOU OF MY RESIGNATION. ...AND SUSAN LAMB. I'LL BE RESIGNING AS THE MEMBER FOR LONGMAN. ALL WERE BRITISH CITIZENS WHEN THEY NOMINATED TO RUN FOR PARLIAMENT. LIKE MS GALLAGHER, ALL CLAIM THEY'D TAKEN REASONABLE STEPS TO RENOUNCE THEIR DUAL CITIZENSHIP. BUT THE HIGH COURT RULED HER STEPS WERE NOT ENOUGH. FOR MONTHS, THE OPPOSITION LEADER HAS ASSURED VOTERS HIS PARTY'S STRICT VETTING PROCESSES MEANT HIS MPS WERE NOT IN BREACH OF SECTION 44 OF THE CONSTITUTION. I AM MORE THAN SATISFIED THAT LABOR MPS, THROUGH OUR VETTING PROCESS, WILL PASS MUSTER. CAN YOU GUARANTEE`? YES, I AM. YES, I AM. VERY CONFIDENT. TODAY HE WAS FORCED TO BACK DOWN. WE FOLLOWED THE LEGAL ADVICE THAT WE'D BEEN GIVEN. AT ALL TIMES, THE LABOR PARTY HAS ACTED IN GOOD FAITH. THE HIGH COURT'S MADE IT VERY CLEAR YOU HAVE TO GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER BEFORE NOMINATIONS CLOSE IN GOOD TIME. AUSTRALIANS WILL NOW FACE FIVE BY-ELECTIONS, INCLUDING THE SEAT OF PERTH. TODAY SAY THEY WILL RECONTEST. BECAUSE, SPEAKER, I AM NOT DONE YET. BUT HER BOSS CONFIRMING SUSAN LAMB STILL HASN'T RENOUNCED HER DUAL CITIZENSHIP. SHE'S GOING TO RENOUNCE HER CITIZENSHIP. AND IT'S AN EXPENSIVE LESSON IN ELECTORAL LAW FOR MPS. BY-ELECTIONS WILL COST AT LEAST $8M AND THE LEGAL BILL FOR THE HIGH COURT IS ALREADY AT $11M. JUST AHEAD ON TONIGHT ` HE'S NOT ILL. HE'S JUST VERY OLD AND SICK OF LIVING. THE AUSTRALIAN SCIENTIST WHO IS IN SWITZERLAND AND NOW JUST DAYS AWAY FROM DYING ON HIS TERMS. HE'S A WORLD-BEATER IN SPRINTING, BUT CAN DOUBLE AMPUTEE LIAM MALONE GO THE DISTANCE FOR A MARATHON WITH VIRTUALLY NO TRAINING? A 104 YEAR OLD AUSTRALIAN SCIENTIST WHO ISN'T TERMINALLY ILL IS JUST DAYS AWAY FROM DEATH BY ASSISTED SUICIDE IN SWITZERLAND. DAVID GOODALL SAYS HE WANTS TO DIE BECAUSE HE'S TOO OLD TO ENJOY LIFE. HE TOLD CNN'S MELISSA BELL THAT HE HOPES THE FACT HE'S HAD TO TRAVEL ACROSS THE WORLD TO END HIS LIFE WILL SEND A MESSAGE TO LAWMAKERS. I GET UP IN THE MORNING, I FIND A BIT OF BREAKFAST, AND THEN, WELL, GENERALLY SPEAKING, I JUST SIT. WHAT'S THE USE OF THAT? IT IS BECAUSE DR GOODALL LOVED LIFE SO MUCH THAT HE IS CHOOSING TO LEAVE IT. A FEW DAYS AGO, HE LEFT HIS HOME IN AUSTRALIA AND HIS FAMILY, SAYING HIS FINAL FAREWELL. HE WAS GOING TO SWITZERLAND, ONE OF THE FEW COUNTRIES ON EARTH WHERE IT IS LEGAL TO CHOOSE DEATH OVER LIFE. HIS FINAL HURDLE WILL BE THE CONFIRMATION ON WEDNESDAY BY A PSYCHIATRIST THAT HE IS COMPETENT ENOUGH TO CHOOSE. ONCE A PERSON HAS PASSED THE MID-PERIOD OF AGEING AND HAS FULL COMPETENCE, LET IT BE THEIR CHOICE. YOU'VE BEEN OBLIGED TO LEAVE YOUR HOME, TO LEAVE YOUR FAMILY, TO TRAVEL ACROSS TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WORLD... THAT IS RIGHT. ...TO DIE IN A COUNTRY THAT ISN'T YOURS AND WITHOUT YOUR LOVED ONES AROUND. EXACTLY. HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT THAT? I FEEL RESENTFUL. RESENTFUL OF THE GOVERNMENT AND ESTABLISHMENT IN AUSTRALIA THAT THEY DON'T RECOGNISE THAT ONE WOULD LIKE TO END ONE'S DAYS IN AUSTRALIA, AS I WOULD. THIS IS THE BED ON WHICH DR GOODALL WILL DIE ON THURSDAY, IN THIS ANONYMOUS CLINIC AT THE FOOT OF THE SWISS ALPS. THIS IS THE DRUG THAT HE WILL ADMINISTER TO HIMSELF, AS THIS IS, AFTER ALL, TO BE AN ASSISTED SUICIDE. ALL THE DOCTORS WILL DO IS PLACE THE INTRAVENOUS NEEDLE. I ASKED DR GOODALL WHAT HIS FINAL THOUGHTS WOULD BE. WELL, I'LL HOPE THAT THEY AIM RIGHT. I'M SURE THEY WILL. BUT THAT WILL BE MY CONCERN. (CHUCKLES) A NEW HOSPITAL COULD BE ON THE CARDS FOR WHANGAREI AMID CONCERNS OVER ITS DETERIORATING BUILDINGS. TWO PARTS OF THE CITY'S HOSPITAL HAVE BEEN CLOSED RECENTLY AFTER THEY WERE FOUND CONTAMINATED WITH ASBESTOS. THE DHB SAYS A TOTAL REBUILD IS ONE OF THREE OPTIONS ITS PUTTING FORWARD TO THE MINISTRY OF HEALTH. THIS HOSPITAL IS OLD. IT'S PROBABLY ONE OF THE OLDEST IN THE COUNTRY, AND WE BELIEVE WE NEED TO REFRESH. THE DHB SAYS THE ASBESTOS ISN'T AIRBORNE AND IT'S TAKING ALL NECESSARY PRECAUTIONS TO PROTECT SAFETY. MOST PEOPLE LOVE ONLINE SHOPPING, BUT WHEN IT COMES TO THE DELIVERY OF THOSE GOODS, IT CAN BE A FRUSTRATING BUSINESS ` NOBODY HOME, THEN YOU HAVE TO PICK UP THE PACKAGE SOMEWHERE THE NEXT DAY AND SO ON. NOW ONLINE RETAIL GIANT AMAZON SAYS THE SOLUTION JUST MIGHT BE THE FAMILY CAR. CHANNEL NINE'S BELINDA RUSSELL HAS THE STORY. SIGNED, SEALED AND NOT DELIVERED. WHILE SHOPPING ONLINE IS SUPPOSED TO BE CONVENIENT, THE DELIVERY OF YOUR PARCEL CAN MAKE IT INCONVENIENT. BUT A NEW SERVICE COULD SAVE US THE HEADACHE. I THINK IT HAS THE POTENTIAL TO TRANSFORM ONLINE SHOPPING. YOU COULD BE AT WORK; YOU COULD BE AT A FRIEND'S HOUSE. IT REALLY MAKES IT ` ONLINE SHOPPING ` MUCH MORE CONVENIENT. TO HELP AVOID PARCEL PIRATES STEALING PACKAGES, AMAZON HAS LAUNCHED THE ULTIMATE SERVICE ` ONLINE SHOPPING DELIVERED STRAIGHT INTO THE BOOT OF YOUR CAR. CUSTOMERS IN THE US USE AN APP TO PROVIDE THE GPS LOCATION OF THEIR PARKED CAR AND ONE-OFF ACCESS TO DIGITALLY UNLOCK THE VEHICLE. TO DO THIS, YOU MUST HAVE A CAR THAT'S CONNECTED TO THE INTERNET. SO THAT WOULD MEAN YOUR MANUFACTURER KNOWS WHERE THE CAR IS, THEY CAN CONTROL ASPECTS OF THE CAR, SUCH AS REMOTELY OPENING YOUR BOOT. WHILE ITS AIMED AT IMPROVING CONVENIENCE, THERE ARE CONCERNS ABOUT POSSIBLE SECURITY RISKS. YOUR BOOT ISN'T AS SAFE AS OTHER THINGS SUCH AS YOUR WORK OR YOUR HOME. TO AVOID DISAPPOINTMENT, MORE THAN HALF OF US GET OUR ONLINE SHOPPING DELIVERED TO WORK. THANKS. BUT CHANCES ARE, YOUR BOSS ISN'T THRILLED ABOUT IT, WITH MORE AND MORE COMPANIES BANNING PERSONAL DELIVERIES. WHILE AMAZON'S NEW CAR DELIVERY SERVICE COULD PROVIDE A SOLUTION, IT'S NOT EXPECTED TO ARRIVE HERE IN AUSTRALIA FOR TWO TO THREE YEARS. TO NETBALL, AND THE MAINLAND TACTIX HAVE TAKEN DOWN THE NORTHERN MYSTICS 42-39 IN A LOW-SCORING SCRAPPY MID-WEEK CLASH TO END ROUND ONE OF THE ANZ PREMIERSHIP. THE TACTIX WERE BUOYED BY SUNDAY'S EXTRA TIME WIN, PULLING AWAY FROM THE MYSTICS IN THE LAST QUARTER AFTER THE SCORES WERE EVEN AT THE HALF AND THREE-QUARTER BREAKS. THE MATCH SAW SILVER FERN SHOOTER MARIA FOLAU'S RETURN TO THE COURT FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE THE FERNS' WOEFUL PERFORMANCE AT THE COMMONWEALTH GAMES, THOUGH THE MYSTICS SHOT AT JUST 71%. HE'S ONE OF THE WORLD'S FASTEST RUNNERS OVER 200M, BUT NOW PARALYMPIAN LIAM MALONE IS EMBARKING ON ONE OF THE BIGGEST CHALLENGES OF HIS LIFE ` RUNNING A MARATHON. THE TWO-TIME RIO GOLD MEDALLIST HAS SIGNED UP FOR THE HAWKE'S BAY EVENT THIS WEEKEND, ENTERING OFF BARELY ANY TRAINING. GUY HEVELDT CAUGHT UP WITH HIM. HE'S WON PARALYMPIC SPRINTING GOLDS OVER AS FAR AS 400 METRES. NOW DOUBLE-AMPUTEE LIAM MALONE WANTS TO PROVE PEOPLE WRONG AGAIN BY RUNNING A MARATHON. THAT'S BY AND LARGE WHY I DO MOST THINGS, I THINK. AS A CHILD I WAS CALLED DISABLED. I REALLY DIDN'T LIKE THAT. MALONE ANNOUNCED HIS RETIREMENT FROM ATHLETICS EARLIER THIS YEAR AFTER WINNING TWO GOLDS AND A SILVER AT THE PARALYMPICS IN RIO IN 2016. MALONE GETS THE GOLD FOR NEW ZEALAND! THE 42KM JOURNEY IN THE HAWKE'S BAY DAUNTING FOR THE AMBITIOUS 24-YEAR-OLD. I'M, LIKE, THE LEAST PREPARED GUY FOR A MARATHON ` TWO MISSING LEGS, AND I THINK I'VE DONE 10 TRAINING RUNS ` SO I THINK I'M MEASURING SUCCESS IN THIS BY GETTING TO THE END AND NOT BEING IN A WHEELCHAIR THE NEXT DAY. AND I LITERALLY MEAN NOT BEING IN A WHEELCHAIR THE NEXT DAY. HE WILL USE THE SAME BLADES HE USED TO CREATE HISTORY ` SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED FOR THE TRACK. HIS BIGGEST CHALLENGE NOT THE FITNESS, RATHER THE PHYSICAL PAIN OF THOSE BLADES BEATING AGAINST HIS LEGS. BY ABOUT 10K, I'D SAY I'M AT ABOUT A SAY 7/10 TO 8/10 PAIN IN MY LEG COS I'M PUTTING ALL MY BODY WEIGHT THROUGH A SURFACE AREA THAT'S ABOUT THE SIZE OF MY WRIST, AND MY LEGS BLEED LIKE CRAZY. BUT DESPITE THE OBVIOUS NERVES, HE'S ALREADY WORKING TOWARDS AN EVEN GREATER CHALLENGE, USING THE KNOWLEDGE FROM HIS CURRENT JOB IN ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE. THIS IS REALLY LIKE A TEST AND A STEPPING STONE. WHAT I'D REALLY LOVE TO DO IS DESIGN SOME NEW LEGS THAT CAN ACCOMMODATE FOR RUNNING LONG DISTANCES AND FIVE YEARS DOWN THE TRACK MAYBE LOOK AT DOING AN IRONMAN. FOR NOW, THOUGH, THE CHALLENGE IS SATURDAY ` AND GETTING TO THE FINISH LINE. YEAH, SURE. I DEFINITELY WILL GET TO THE END. IF I'M CRAWLING, LIKE, I'LL STILL GET TO THE END OF THE RACE. I DON'T KNOW HOW LONG IT'S GONNA TAKE ME. GUY HEVELDT, 1 NEWS. JUST AHEAD ` WEATHER AND ITS THEATRICAL COUSIN SWING BY FOR A CHAT. AND THE APPLE OF MANY ART LOVERS' EYE ` TONIGHT HE GETS THE ART FOUNDATION'S HIGHEST HONOUR. HIS ARTWORK'S BEEN SHOWN IN PRESTIGIOUS GALLERIES AROUND THE WORLD, AND HE'S KNOWN FOR BREAKING ALL THE RULES. A MAN WHO CHANGED HIS LAST NAME BILLY APPLE. TONIGHT HE WAS GIVEN THE ARTS FOUNDATION'S HIGHEST HONOUR AT GOVERNMENT HOUSE IN WELLINGTON. KATE NICOL-WILLIAMS CAUGHT UP WITH HIM. (APPLAUSE) BILLY APPLE'S FIRST EXHIBIT FEATURED HIMSELF AS THE ART. NOW HE'S BECOME AN ICON. I DIDN'T THINK IT WOULD BE APPROPRIATE FOR ME TO HAVE THIS AWARD LIKE THIS BECAUSE I'M STILL PRACTISING. BILLY CAME ROUND, REALISING A LEGACY CAN BE MADE WHILE YOU'RE STILL ALIVE. HE JOINS AN EXCLUSIVE GROUP HONOURED WITH THE ICON AWARD ` A LIVING CIRCLE OF 20 PEOPLE. I FEEL A GREAT PRIVILEGE TO HAVE THIS ONE. THE 82-YEAR-OLD'S THANKFUL FOR ROBERT ELLIS, AN ART TEACHER THAT HELPED BILLY GET INTO THE ROYAL COLLEGE OF ART IN LONDON. HE WAS A LIFE CHANGER IN THAT SENSE. MY FATHER AT ONE POINT SAID TO HIM, 'HOW COULD YOU? HOW COULD YOU DO THIS AND TAKE HIM AWAY FROM US?' NOT LOOKING BACK, HE STARTED COLLEGE IN 1959, BECOMING PALS WITH BRITISH ARTIST DAVID HOCKNEY AND DIRECTOR RIDLEY SCOTT. AFTER GRADUATING CAME THE EPIPHANY. THE ARTIST NAMED BARRIE BATES REINVENTED HIMSELF AS BILLY APPLE, A POP ART FOUNDING MEMBER. I COULD TAKE CONTROL OF WHAT I WAS GOING TO DO, WHO I WAS GOING TO BE, AND, IN FACT, BECOME A BRAND. HIS WORKS FEATURED ALONGSIDE ANDY WARHOL'S IN ONE OF THE MOST INFLUENTIAL POP ART EXHIBITIONS ` THE AMERICAN SUPERMARKET. BUT SOME WEREN'T READY FOR BILLY'S CONCEPTUAL ART. ONCE, THE POLICE WERE CALLED. A WORK THAT HAD SEMEN ON THEM. I HAD TO REMOVE EVERYTHING FROM THE GALLERY. THEY CLOSED THE GALLERY 'THE SERPENTINE' DOWN FOR THREE DAYS. NOW HIS ART HAS BEEN RECOGNISED AS WORLD-CLASS AND INSPIRATIONAL. IT'S A TEAM EFFORT. BILLY COMES UP WITH THE IDEA AND GETS OTHERS TO MAKE THE ART. I'VE ALWAYS HAD THAT IDEA. WORK LIKE THAT, NEVER TOUCH NOTHING ` THINK HARD, MAKE SURE IT'S PERFECT, GET THE GREAT PEOPLE TO DO IT. AND, YES, BILLY SAYS HE'S STILL JUST AS PASSIONATE ABOUT APPLES AS WHEN HE FIRST STARTED. KATE NICOL-WILLIAMS, 1 NEWS. NOW TO TOMORROW'S WEATHER WITH HERBS. FOR WEATHER, SEE TVNZ.CO.NZ THAT'S IT FROM US HERE ON TONIGHT. THANKS FOR WATCHING. GOODNIGHT. CAPTIONS BY JUNE YEOW AND JEAN TENG.
