WINSTON PETERS GIVES HIS 'STATE OF THE NATION' SPEECH AND CLAIMS CO-GOVERNANCE PUTS ONE RACE'S DNA ABOVE ANOTHER ` THEN COMPARES IT TO NAZI GERMANY. THE PARENTS OF A GIRL DYING OF CANCER ARE NOW SEARCHING FOR AN ONCOLOGIST WILLING TO TREAT HER WITH AN EXPERIMENTAL DRUG. AND IT'S BEEN DESCRIBED AS THE GREATEST MATCH-WINNING TRY IN NRL HISTORY. UNFORTUNATELY, THE WARRIORS WERE ON THE RECEIVING END. CAPTIONS BY ALEX WALKER AND ALEX BACKHOUSE. CAPTIONS WERE MADE WITH THE SUPPORT OF NZ ON AIR. WWW.ABLE.CO.NZ COPYRIGHT ABLE 2024 KIA ORA, GOOD EVENING. WINSTON PETERS HAS RAMPED UP THE RHETORIC AGAINST THE PREVIOUS GOVERNMENT, COMPARING ITS APPROACH TO CO-GOVERNANCE TO NAZI GERMANY AND THE HOLOCAUST. THE DEPUTY PRIME MINISTER MAKING THE COMMENTS IN PALMERSTON NORTH DURING HIS 'STATE OF THE NATION' SPEECH AS NEW ZEALAND FIRST LEADER. POLITICAL REPORTER AMELIA WADE WAS THERE. IT WASN'T A WARM WELCOME WAITING FOR WINSTON PETERS... WE CHARGE YOU WITH GENOCIDE. ...IT WAS A FIERY ONE. THROUGH THE DOORS, A MUCH MORE POLITE GREETING WAS COURTEOUSLY WAITING... KIA ORA, MR PETERS. ...ALL BUILDING TO THE MOTHER OF ALL WELCOMES FOR THE ULTIMATE COMEBACK KING. # I GET KNOCKED DOWN, BUT I GET UP AGAIN. # YOU'RE NEVER GONNA KEEP ME DOWN. IT WAS A MOST SURPRISING WELCOME. WE'VE GOT OVER 600 SEATS HERE AND STANDING ROOM ONLY, BUT OUTSIDE, THERE IS A GROUP SHOUTING, 'WINSTON, GO HOME.' THE STATE OF THE NATION SPEECH WAS SHAPING UP TO BE A PETERS CLASSIC TO AN ADORING CROWD. LOVE WATCHING HIM ON TV, BECAUSE HE'S GOT A BIT OF SPARK IN HIM. HOW IS WINSTON PETERS DOING? EXCELLENT. I USED TO KNOW A LOT ABOUT POLITICS, SO I JUST WANT TO SEE HIM AND SAY HI TO HIM. HE'S A BIT SPECIAL. HE'S MY FAVOURITE. BUT THEN HE COMPARED THE LAST LABOUR GOVERNMENT'S APPROACH TO CO-GOVERNANCE TO THE HOLOCAUST. I'VE SEEN THAT SORT OF PHILOSOPHY BEFORE. I SAW IT IN NAZI GERMANY. WE ALL DID. WE'VE SEEN IT ELSEWHERE AROUND THE WORLD IN THE HORRORS OF HISTORY. BUT HERE IN OUR COUNTRY, TOLERATED BY PEOPLE WHOSE JOB WAS TO KEEP THE SYSTEM HONEST, THIS HAPPENED ` WHERE SOME PEOPLE'S DNA MADE THEM BETTER THAN OTHERS. IS THAT APPROPRIATE? YES, IT IS. WHY? BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT IT'S BASED ON. IT'S BASED ON RACIAL PREFERENCE. THE HOLOCAUST CENTRE OF NEW ZEALAND SAID PETERS SHOULD KNOW BETTER. IT'S OFFENSIVE TO THOSE WHO WERE LOST HOW DO YOU THINK THAT WOULD MAKE THE JEWISH COMMUNITY FEEL? EXCUSE ME. NEXT QUESTION. TRY AS HE MIGHT, HE COULDN'T DODGE THE QUESTION. HOW DO YOU THINK THAT WOULD MAKE THE JEWISH COMMUNITY FEEL? ARE YOU CLAIRVOYANT, ARE YOU? WELL, I THINK THEY WOULD UNDERSTAND. I HAVE SEEN... THE TASTE AND FATE OF WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE IN OTHER COUNTRIES IN OTHER AREAS. WORDS MATTER. PETERS ALSO HAD SOME CONTROVERSIAL COMMENTS FOR TE PAATI MAORI AND THE TRADITIONAL CEREMONIAL ATTIRE THEY WORE WHEN THEY WERE SWORN IN. THEY HAD HALF THE PLUMAGE FROM THE NATIVE BIRDS ON THEIR HEAD. AND THEY'RE ANTI-MINING, BUT THEY HAD HALF THE GREENSTONE AROUND THEIR CHEST. THOUGH PETERS DID MAKE A POINT ABOUT THE STATE OF THE GOVERNMENT'S BOOKS, AGREEING WITH A SUNDAY STAR TIMES COLUMNIST THAT THERE WAS A $5.6 BILLION FISCAL HOLE. HE'S RIGHT, BUT HE'S WRONG WHEN HE SAID POLITICANS WERE WARNED OF THAT. COS IF HE'S RIGHT, PLEASE SHOW ME WHERE THAT WARNING CAME. THE COLUMNIST WAS MAKING THE POINT THAT THE PARTIES' ELECTION PROMISES DIDN'T ADD UP. PETERS BLAMES THE ECONOMY. THE GROWTH RATE IS NOT WHAT WE THOUGHT IT WAS. THAT'S THE REAL DIFFERENCE. IT WAS A DAY OF VERY REAL DIFFERENCES, PARTICULARLY WHEN HE COMPARED CO-GOVERNANCE TO THE HOLOCAUST. SO AMELIA, WHAT'S LABOUR HAD TO SAY ABOUT THOSE HOLOCAUST COMMENTS? WINSTON PETERS ACTUALLY WENT OFF SCRIPT TODAY WHEN HE MADE THOSE COMMENTS. MEDIA WAS SENT A COPY OF HIS SPEECH AS HE WAS MAKING IT AND ABSOLUTELY NOWHERE AND IT DID IT CONTAIN ANY REFERENCES TO HIM COMPARING LABOURS CO-GOVERNANCE TO THE HOLOCAUST. WE HAVE SINCE HAD A STATEMENT FROM LABOUR. CHRIS HIPKINS SAYS THIS IS THE SAME OLD WINSTON PETERS USING RACISM AND ANTI-MEDIA RHETORIC TO DIVIDE AOTEAROA. HE FEELS MORE VINDICATED IN HIS DECISION TO RULE OUT WORKING WITH WINSTON PETERS AND THAT ' KIWIS DESERVE MORE THAN A DEPUTY PRIME MINISTER ' WHO BEHAVES LIKE A DRUNK UNCLE AT A WEDDING.' ZIGGY MARLEY PLAYED TO A LARGE CROWD AT THE WOMAD ARTS FESTIVAL IN NEW PLYMOUTH LAST NIGHT DESPITE A 3000-SIGNATURE PETITION CALLING FOR THE HEADLINE ACT TO BE DROPPED. MARLEY, WHO IS THE SON OF THE LATE BOB MARLEY, STARTED HIS PERFORMANCE WITH A SONG HE WROTE IN 2003 CALLED 'SHALOM SALAAM', WHICH CALLS FOR PEACE IN THE MIDDLE EAST. A GROUP OF PROTESTERS CARRIED SMALL PALESTINIAN FLAGS THROUGH THE CROWD WHILE HE SANG. THEY HAD CALLED FOR WOMAD TO DROP MARLEY FROM ITS LINE-UP BECAUSE OF A 2018 CONCERT HE TOOK PART IN THAT FUNDRAISED FOR THE ISRAELI DEFENCE FORCE. # SHALOM, SALAAM... # SHALOM, SALAAM... (CHEERING) WOMAD HAS PREVIOUSLY SAID IT RESPECTS THE RIGHT TO EXPRESS PEACEFUL OPPOSITION AND STANDS WITH CITIZENS OF THE WORLD IN CALLING FOR AN END TO THE VIOLENCE IN THE MIDDLE EAST. A U.N. OFFICIAL IS CLAIMING THERE ARE NOW NO NORMAL-SIZED NEWBORNS IN GAZA BECAUSE OF THE CONTINUED ISRAELI BOMBARDMENT. DOMINIC ALLEN, A U.N. REPRESENTATIVE FOR THE STATE OF PALESTINE, SAYS STILLBORN BIRTHS AND NEONATAL DEATHS ARE ON THE RISE, CAUSED IN PART BY MALNUTRITION, DEHYDRATION AND CONTINUED HIGH LEVELS OF STRESS AND ANXIETY IN THE MOTHERS. 5500 BABIES ARE DUE TO BE BORN IN GAZA THIS MONTH. THE PARENTS OF A GIRL (12) DYING OF CANCER ARE DESPERATELY SEARCHING FOR AN ONCOLOGIST WILLING TO TREAT HER WITH AN EXPERIMENTAL DRUG CALLED ENGENEIC. MEILA DAVIS HAS TERMINAL BONE CANCER, OSTEOSARCOMA. CHEMOTHERAPY TREATMENTS HAVE FAILED TO HELP, BUT THE FAMILY HAS BEEN RECOMMENDED A NEW IMMUNOTHERAPY DRUG THAT'S UNDERGOING CLINICAL TRIALS IN AUSTRALIA. ALEXA COOK HAS THIS EXCLUSIVE STORY. THIS IS MEILA DAVIS, BACK ON HER FEET. THIS IS MEILA DAVIS TODAY, BACK ON HER FEET. BUT JUST SIX DAYS AGO, SHE HAD EMERGENCY SURGERY FOR A COLLAPSED LUNG. HER MUM, KRISTIN, HAS BEEN ADVISED THAT A NEW IMMUNOTHERAPY DRUG COULD SAVE HER LIFE. IF SHE DOESN'T GET IT, I MIGHT NOT HAVE MY DAUGHTER ANY MORE. BUT BECAUSE THE DRUG IS STILL IN CLINICAL TRIALS IN AUSTRALIA, IT HASN'T BEEN APPROVED AS A MEDICINE YET SO ISN'T AVAILABLE HERE. CHRISTCHURCH HOSPITAL LOOKED AT ADMINISTERING IT ON COMPASSIONATE GROUNDS, SAYING THEY INVESTIGATED THE OPTION OF THE EXPERIMENTAL THERAPY, EXPLORING IT WITH NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL COLLEAGUES. I DON'T THINK THAT'S FAIR. BECAUSE THERE ARE TWO GIRLS UNDERGOING THIS TREATMENT IN SYDNEY CURRENTLY, AND THE DATA COMING FROM THEM IS SHOWING SAFETY. THOUGH DATA CAN BE HARD TO COLLECT WHEN LESS THAN 4% OF CHILDREN WITH CANCER HAVE OSTEOSARCOMA. IF YOU DON'T GIVE THESE KIDS A CHANCE TO GO ON COMPASSIONATE USE, THEN HOW ARE YOU GOING TO GET THE DATA? WHAT I WOULD URGE IS THEY STOP THINKING ABOUT LIABILITY AND THE 'WHAT IFS' AND THINK ABOUT WHAT MIGHT ACTUALLY HAPPEN HERE IF MEILA GETS THE DRUG. IT COULD MEAN SHE IS ALIVE FOR LONGER. MEILA'S ORAL CHEMO TREATMENT WARNS OF DEADLY SIDE EFFECTS SUCH AS LIVER AND BLEEDING PROBLEMS. BUT ENGENEIC SAYS ITS DRUG IS MUCH SAFER; IT'S SIMILAR TO A FLU JAB. NOBODY LOSES THEIR HAIR. THEY DON'T GO HOME, THEY DON'T GO HOME AND THROW UP IN A BUCKET FOR THE REST OF THE WEEK. ENGENEIC'S ALREADY CREATED A PERSONALISED DRUG FOR MEILA USING A LIQUID BIOPSY AND PLANS TO FLY A CLINICAL TEAM OVER FOR TECHNICAL SUPPORT. IT'S EXTREMELY SAFE. THERE IS PHASE TWO EFFICACY DATA IN OTHER CANCERS, LIKE END-STAGE PANCREATIC CANCERS. AFTER OUR STORY ABOUT MEILA LAST WEEK, MEDSAFE MET WITH ENGENEIC TO DISCUSS HER SITUATION. THE TWO GROUPS ARE NOW LOOKING AT SETTING UP A TRIAL HERE, BUT THAT TAKES TIME THAT MEILA SIMPLY DOESN'T HAVE. HOWEVER, MEDSAFE SAYS SHE COULD ACCESS THE DRUG IF IT'S PRESCRIBED BY A MEDICAL PRACTITIONER. SO THE FAMILY'S NOW URGENTLY SEARCHING FOR SOMEONE WILLING TO DO SO, AS THEIR DAUGHTER COULD HAVE ONLY WEEKS TO LIVE. PLEASE HELP. HELP US FIND A COMPASSIONATE ONCOLOGIST THAT WILL INFUSE AND SIGN OFF ON THIS DRUG FOR MEILA. I WILL GIVE UP EVERYTHING FOR HER, TO HAVE THIS OPPORTUNITY. I WILL GIVE UP EVERYTHING FOR HER TO HAVE THIS OPPORTUNITY. I WOULD SACRIFICE MYSELF IF I COULD GET IT FOR HER. A DESPERATE PLEA TO TRY AND SAVE HER PRECIOUS DAUGHER. ALEXA COOK, NEWSHUB. THE PRINCIPAL OF A CROWDED CANTERBURY HIGH SCHOOL SAYS PLANS BY THE GOVERNMENT TO SCALE BACK THEIR EXPANSION IS BAD NEWS FOR SCHOOLS ACROSS THE COUNTRY. ROLLESTON COLLEGE IN THE SELWYN DISTRICT EXPECTS TO MORE THAN DOUBLE IN SIZE IN THE NEAR FUTURE, YET THE MINISTRY OF EDUCATION IS PROPOSING TO CUT BACK ON ITS SPENDING THERE. MIKE THORPE REPORTS. ROLLESTON COLLEGE IS EIGHT YEARS OLD AND ALREADY BURSTING AT THE SEAMS. WE OPENED WITH 225, UM, YEAR NINE LEARNERS, AND WE NOW HAVE 1800. THE SITE HAS ALSO REACHED CAPACITY. THE IDEA OF A JUNIOR AND SENIOR CAMPUS WAS PITCHED. AND AGREED, WITH A SECOND SITE SECURED ABOUT 2KM AWAY. I THINK IT IS FUTURE-PROOFED UP TO THE MASTER PLAN ROLL OF 2100 ON THAT OTHER SITE. MEANING A TOTAL ROLL OF ALMOST 4000 AND MAKING IT ONE OF THE BIGGEST HIGH SCHOOLS IN THE COUNTRY. WE WERE 100%, UM, EXCITED. ROLLESTON IS JUST SOUTH OF CHRISTCHURCH AND PART OF THE SELWYN DISTRICT, PERHAPS NEW ZEALAND'S FASTEST GROWING. WELL, IN 15 YEARS, WE'LL BE THE SAME SIZE AS DUNEDIN. UP UNTIL 2010, ROLLESTON HAD ONE PRIMARY SCHOOL ` THIS ONE. IT NOW HAS SEVEN, SOON TO BE EIGHT, ALL FEEDING TO ROLLESTON COLLEGE. MORE THAN HALF OF THOSE ARE... LARGE. WE'RE TALKING ABOUT PRIMARY SCHOOLS THAT ARE 700 TO 900 STUDENTS. SO THE DEMAND IS OBVIOUS, BUT THE MINISTRY OF EDUCATION RECENTLY ALTERED THE SUPPLY. ON THE 29TH OF FEBRUARY, WHEN WE WERE PRESENTED WITH A PLAN THAT I BELIEVE CURRENTLY, UM, ISN'T WORKABLE ` BECAUSE IT DOESN'T REPRESENT A FUNCTIONAL SCHOOL ` UM, YEAH, THAT WAS A... THAT WAS A BIG SHOCK. RACHEL SKELTON SAYS THE NEW PLAN HALVED THE SIZE OF THE GYMNASIUM AND THE SPORTS FIELD AND LEFT NO ROOM FOR CORE SERVICES. THINGS LIKE COUNSELLING OFFICES, UM, DEANS' AREA ` AGAIN, THINGS THAT YOU'D EXPECT TO SEE IN ANY LARGE HIGH SCHOOL. SHE SAYS THE NEW PLAN COULD ALSO INVOLVE REPURPOSED, SECOND-HAND, TEMPORARY BUILDINGS. AND IF YOU'RE BUILDING A NEW CAMPUS, YOU'RE BUILDING A NEW SCHOOL, STARTING THAT WAY... SEEMS A STRANGE WAY TO GO INTO THAT PROCESS. SKELTON BELIEVES THE CUTS TO HER SCHOOL REPRESENT GREATER CAUSE FOR CONCERN. ON A NATIONAL SCALE, IF WE WERE` AND THE MINISTRY OF EDUCATION HAS TALKED ABOUT ROLLESTON COLLEGE SENIOR CAMPUS AS THE NUMBER ONE PRIORITY SCHOOL, IF THAT IS THE PROVISION FOR THE NUMBER ONE PRIORITY SCHOOL, I WORRY ABOUT OTHER SCHOOLS. SELWYN MAYOR SAM BROUGHTON BELIEVES IT ASKS EVEN WIDER QUESTIONS OF THE GOVERNMENT. I THINK A DECISION LIKE THIS SERIOUSLY CALLS INTO QUESTION WHY WE WANT THE COUNTRY TO KEEP GROWING AND WHY WE NEED MORE HOUSES IF WE CAN'T KEEP UP WITH BASICS LIKE SCHOOLS AND HEALTH AND POLICING. THE TOWN OF THE FUTURE IS DETERMINED ITS HIGH SCHOOL WON'T BE LEFT BEHIND. SO MIKE, WHAT'S THE GOVERNMENT'S POSITION ON THIS? YEAH, THE MINISTRY HAS DEFENDED THESE PROPOSED CUTS. THEY SAY THEY ARE STILL SPENDING SOME $50 MILLION ON THE SECOND CAMPUS FOR ROLLESTON COLLEGE AND THEY SAY THEY WILL BE READY TO GO FOR THE 650 STUDENTS THAT WILL BE ON THE ROLE AT THAT TIME. THEY ALSO SAY THERE ARE PROVISIONS FOR A GREATER BUILD AT THAT CAMPUS AND THAT IT COULD BE STAGGERED AS THAT ROLL DEMANDS. THERE IS AN ASTERISK THAT COMES WITH THAT. IT SAYS THAT THE STAGES WILL BE SUBJECT TO FUNDING RECEIVED IN FUTURE BUDGETS. ANY CONCERNS THAT THE SCHOOLS AND PARENTS HAVE WITH THAT ` AND I'M SURE THEY WILL ` WILL BE VOICE TOMORROW WITH A MEETING WITH THE MINISTRY. THEY WILL GET FEEDBACK FROM HUNDREDS WHO WERE AT A COMMUNITY MEETING JUST LAST WEEK AND THOUSANDS WHO HAVE SIGNED A PETITION. RACHEL SKELTON SAID SHE WOULD BE RELENTLESS IN PURSUING A SCHOOL HER STUDENTS DESERVE. THE POSTAL WORKERS' UNION HAS COME UP WITH A PLAN TO SAVE SOME OF THE HUNDREDS OF JOBS SET TO BE CUT UNDER A PROPOSAL TO DRAMATICALLY DOWNSIZE NZ POST'S WORKFORCE. THE REDUCTIONS WOULD SEE EMPLOYEES REPLACED BY A LARGER FLEET OF CONTRACTED COURIER DRIVERS. BUT THE UNION SAYS POSTIES ON ELECTRIC CARGO BIKES AND MOTORCYCLES ARE MORE EFFICIENT AND BETTER FOR THE ENVIRONMENT. NICK TRUEBRIDGE REPORTS. THE KIWI POSTIE SUDDENLY AN ENDANGERED SPECIES. THE COMPANY WANTS TO LAY OFF ALL 700 POSTIES OVER THE NEXT FIVE YEARS AND GIVE THE MAIL TO CONTRACT COURIERS. THAT'S RIGHT ` THE POSTIE COULD SOON BE EXTINCT. NZ POST EMPLOYS 4500 PEOPLE. ITS PROPOSAL CUTS 750 JOBS, 700 ON THE FRONT LINE IN FIVE YEARS. WHY? IT SAYS 20 YEARS AGO, ABOUT ONE BILLION ITEMS WERE SENT EACH YEAR. BY 2028, THAT WILL LIKELY DROP TO 120 MILLION ITEMS. WE WILL CONTINUE TO MAINTAIN OUR DELIVERY STANDARDS AS WE MAKE THESE CHANGES, BUT IT'S HOW WE MAKE THE DELIVERIES THAT'S GOING TO BE WHAT WE NAVIGATE OVER THE NEXT FIVE YEARS. BUT THE UNION SAYS POSTIES, NOT CONTRACTED COURIERS, ARE THE BETTER OPTION. WE HAVE A COUNTER-PROPOSAL WHERE WE COULD BE USING ELECTRIC CARGO BIKES, ELECTRIC MOTORCYCLES AND HAVING A SMALLER POSTIE NETWORK BUT A POSTIE NETWORK WORKING ON THE FOOTPATH. IT DIDN'T DIVULGE THE FINER DETAILS BUT CLAIMS THE COUNTER-PROPOSAL SEES NZ POST LOWER ITS COSTS AND BECOME MORE PROFITABLE WHILE MAINTAINING STANDARDS. IN OUR EXPERIENCE, IT'S THE POSTIES THEMSELVES WHO HAVE INSISTED ON TRYING TO MAINTAIN THE INTEGRITY THAT THE STATE-OWNED ENTERPRISE, OWNED BY THE PEOPLE. IT'S THE POSTIES THEMSELVES WHO ARE REALLY COMMITTED TO HAVING A GOOD POSTAL SERVICE THAT'S RELIABLE, THAT PEOPLE CAN TRUST. IN A STATEMENT, NZ POST TOLD NEWSHUB NO DECISIONS HAVE BEEN MADE SO IT COULDN'T COMMENT. SO THE UNION TODAY FILLED THE VOID INSTEAD, CLAIMING THE PROPOSAL MAY BREACH STATE-OWNED ENTERPRISES ACT PROVISIONS FOR FAIR AND PROPER TREATMENT OF EMPLOYEES. IT CALLS THE PROPOSED CONTRACTED COURIERS 'THIRD-CLASS WORKERS' OR 'EMPLOYEES WITH NO EMPLOYEE RIGHTS'. SO WE'RE REALLY CONCERNED THAT A STATE-OWNED ENTERPRISE ` REQUIRED TO BE A GOOD EMPLOYER ` WOULD ACTUALLY GIVE THE WORK` OR TRY TO HAVE THE WORK GIVEN TO PEOPLE WHO DO NOT HAVE THE RIGHTS OF EMPLOYEES. WHO DELIVERS THE MAIL? THE DEBATE'S ABOUT TO GO POSTAL. NICK TRUEBRIDGE, NEWSHUB. NEW ZEALAND COULD BE BILLIONS OF YEARS OLDER THAN FIRST THOUGHT. RESEARCH BY KIWI GEOLOGISTS BUILDS ON THE WORK OF A TEAM THAT FOUND IN 2017 THAT NEW ZEALAND WAS PART OF A MOSTLY SUBMERGED CONTINENT DUBBED 'ZEALANDIA'. NOW TWO GEOLOGISTS HAVE ANALYSED GRAINS OF THE MINERAL ZIRCON IN SANDSTONES IN THE TAKAKA RIVER AREA IN NELSON THAT THEY SAY CAN BE DATED BACK MORE THAN THREE BILLION YEARS. GOING BACK TO 3, 3.2, 3.4... AS EARLY AS 3.6 BILLION. NOW, THIS IS A HUGE` IT'S ABOUT A THREE-FOLD INCREASE IN THE AGE OF THE CONTINENT OF ZEALANDIA. IT WAS PREVIOUSLY THOUGHT ZEALANDIA WAS ABOUT ONE BILLION YEARS OLD. JULIET'S HERE NOW WITH THE WEATHER. AND JULIET, A PRETTY SETTLED DAY FOR MOST? YEAH, FAIRLY SETTLED, ALTHOUGH YOU'LL SEE HERE WE HAVE IT ALL ` RAIN AND SUN, FROM 24 DEGREES THROUGH TO ZERO IN LUMSDEN. BUT A COOLER NIGHT AWAITS FOR MOST OF US, SO GET OUT THE FLANNELETTE PJs. I'LL SEE YOU WITH THE FULL FORECAST AFTER SPORT. A VOLCANO HAS ERUPTED IN ICELAND FOR THE FOURTH TIME SINCE DECEMBER. IT'S SENT BRIGHT ORANGE LAVA GUSHING INTO THE AIR. THERE'S A PUSH FOR FAMILIES TO WATCH TV WITH SUBTITLES ON, BECAUSE IT'S SEEN AS A CRUCIAL TOOL FOR HELPING CHILDREN LEARN TO READ. HOKI MAI ANO. WELCOME BACK. A VOLCANO IN ICELAND HAS ERUPTED FOR THE FOURTH TIME SINCE DECEMBER, WITH BRIGHT ORANGE LAVA GUSHING INTO THE AIR. LAVA IS SPEWING FROM A 2KM-LONG FISSURE AND IS MOVING QUICKLY SOUTH TO THE VILLAGE OF GRINDAVIK. THE NEARLY 4000 RESIDENTS ` WHO HAVE ONLY RECENTLY RETURNED HOME FOLLOWING EARLIER OUTBREAKS ` ARE ONCE AGAIN BEING EVACUATED. ICELANDIC POLICE HAVE DECLARED A 'STATE OF EMERGENCY' FOR THE AREA. ICELANDIC POLICE HAVE DECLARED A STATE OF EMERGENCY FOR THE AREA. ACTRESS AND MODEL CARA DELEVINGNE SAYS SHE'S HEARTBROKEN AFTER LOSING EVERYTHING SHE OWNS IN A MASSIVE FIRE THAT DESTROYED HER CALIFORNIA HOME. IT TOOK 94 FIREFIGHTERS TWO HOURS TO EXTINGUISH THE FLAMES, WITH THE ROOF EVENTUALLY COLLAPSING. NO ONE WAS HOME AT THE TIME, AND DELEVINGE CONFIRMED HER PETS WERE RESCUED AND ARE SAFE. THE CAUSE OF THE FIRE IS SUSPECTED TO BE FAULTY ELECTRICAL WIRING. NOW, HOW OFTEN DO YOU WATCH TV WITH SUBTITLES ON? WELL, FOR THIS REPORT, WE'RE TURNING THEM ON FOR EVERYONE. THAT'S BECAUSE OF A CAMPAIGN FROM A GROUP OF PARENTS WHO SAY THAT SUBTITLES COULD BE A CRUCIAL TOOL IN HELPING CHILDREN LEARN TO READ. ITV'S LEWIS WARNER HAS MORE. PRINCESS DIANA'S BROTHER, EARL SPENCER, HAS TOLD THE BBC THAT PRESS ATTENTION SUFFERED BY HIS SISTER WAS 'MORE DANGEROUS' THAN THE SCRUTINY SURROUNDING THE CURRENT PRINCESS OF WALES. IN THE INTERVIEW, HE DETAILED THE SHOCKING LEVELS OF VIOLENCE AND SEXUAL ABUSE THAT HE SUFFERED AS A YOUNG BOY WHEN HE WAS SENT TO BOARDING SCHOOL. HE ALSO SPOKE ABOUT THE VIOLENCE HE AND HIS SISTER DIANA SUFFERED AT HOME AS CHILDREN, WHERE THEY WERE PUNISHED BY A NANNY. THAT NANNY WHO DID THAT TO US ` SHE USED TO CRACK OUR HEADS TOGETHER IF WE WERE FOUND TO HAVE DONE SOMETHING NAUGHTY. WITHOUT OUR FATHER'S KNOWLEDGE. IT WAS A CRACKING CRUNCH, AND I REMEMBER IT STILL. SPENCER ALSO EXPRESSED HIS WORRY IN 'WHAT CAN HAPPEN TO THE TRUTH' AMID CONSPIRACY THEORIES ABOUT CATHERINE. DONALD CAMPBELL'S FAMOUS BLUEBIRD HYDROPLANE HAS RETURNED TO THE LAKES OF NORTHERN ENGLAND THIS WEEK, 57 YEARS AFTER THE TRAGIC CRASH THAT KILLED THE PILOT. IT WILL NOW REST IN A NEW MUSEUM TO INSPIRE A NEW GENERATION. ITV'S AMY WELCH EXPLAINS. BACK WHERE SHE BELONGS. CROWDS LINED THE STREETS OF CONISTON TO SEE WHAT WAS THE WORLD'S FASTEST HYDROPLANE. TO SEE WHAT WAS THE WORLD'S FASTEST HYDROPLANE SLOWLY AND CAREFULLY COME HOME. I FEEL EMOTIONALLY CONNECTED TO IT. IT'S LIKE IN YOUR DNA IF YOU COME FROM CONISTON. SHE'S WHERE SHE BELONGS. IT'S VERY EMOTIONAL. A DAY THE DAUGHTER OF ITS CREATOR NEVER THOUGHT SHE'D SEE. I JUST THOUGHT IT WOULD NEVER HAPPEN. AND THEN TO JUST SUDDENLY, OUT OF THE BLUE, HAVE THE MUSEUM RING ME AND SAY, 'ARE YOU SITTING DOWN?' I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT. IT WAS 1967 WHEN DONALD CAMPBELL ATTEMPTED TO BREAK THE WORLD WATER SPEED RECORD. THESE WERE HIS FINAL WORDS BEFORE HE LOST CONTROL. ROBBIE ROBINSON WAS 22 AT THE TIME AND PART OF DONALD'S SUPPORT CREW. INITIALLY, WE WERE A BIT SORT OF MOUTH OPEN, YOU KNOW, AND THEN ONE OF MY COLLEAGUES IN THE BOAT SLAPPED ME ON THE SHOULDER AND SAID, COME ON, ROBBIE, FOR GOD'S SAKE. WE GOT TO GET OUT THERE AND GET HIM OUT. AS IT HAPPENED, BY THE TIME WE GOT THERE, THE BLUEBIRD HAD ALREADY SUNK. BLUEBIRD REMAINED AT THE BOTTOM OF CONISTON WATER FOR 34 YEARS UNTIL ENGINEER BILL SMITH RECOVERED HER PARTS AND REBUILT HER. A LENGTHY LEGAL BATTLE FOLLOWED OVER WHO OWNED WHAT, BUT MR SMITH AGREED SHE COULD LEAVE HIS NORTH SHIELD WORKSHOP AND MAKE THE 147-MILE JOURNEY SOUTH. IT REACHED THE POINT WHERE WE JUST FELT WE'RE BEATING OUR HEADS AGAINST THE WALL. SO WE'LL HAND THE BATON OVER. THEY CAN TAKE THE FANTASTIC LEGACY THE TEAM HAVE CREATED AND SEE WHAT THEY CAN DO WITH IT. BUT THE BLUEBIRD IS MISSING ONE CRUCIAL ELEMENT, AND THAT IS THE ENGINE. AND THE RUSKIN MUSEUM SAY THEIR PLAN NOW IS TO ADAPT AND FIT THIS DONATED JET ENGINE SO THAT SHE CAN RUN AGAIN ON CONISTON WATER. WE'VE GOT THE WING, DONALD'S HERE. IF WE CAN PUT ON A CELEBRATION, ON THE WATER JUST TO COMPLETE THE CIRCLE, THAT'S ALL WE WANT TO DO. UNTIL THEN, THE BLUEBIRD WILL STAY IN HER SPIRITUAL HOME, GIVING EVERYONE A CHANCE TO SEE A PIECE OF HYDROPLANE HISTORY. NEW ZEALAND HAS GONE GREEN TODAY. THOUSANDS HAVE DONNED THEIR GREEN GARB AND ATTENDED EVENTS AND PUBS TO CELEBRATE ST PATRICK'S DAY. COMING UP ON SUPER SPORT SUNDAY ` THE CURIOUS CASE OF THE EDEN PARK PITCH INVADER. EXACTLY WHERE DID HE GET THAT YET-TO-BE-RELEASED AUCKLAND FC SHIRT? WAS IT ALL A SET-UP? PLUS ` A MIRACLE IN MELBOURNE. BUT THE WARRIORS ADMIT IT WAS MORE THAN A WONDER-TRY THAT COST THEM AGAINST THE STORM. GOOD EVENING AND WELCOME TO SUPER SPORT SUNDAY. WELL, THE CLUB'S BEEN OFFICIAL FOR LESS THAN 72 HOURS AND WON'T KICK A BALL FOR MONTHS, BUT THE NEW AUCKLAND FC FRANCHISE IS ALREADY STEALING THE HEADLINES FROM THEIR WELLINGTON RIVALS SITTING ON TOP OF THE A-LEAGUE. IT'S ALL THANKS TO THIS ANONYMOUS PITCH INVADER, WHO MADE HIS WAY ON TO THE FIELD IN THE 81ST MINUTE OF THE PHOENIX' MATCH WITH SYDNEY FC AT EDEN PARK LAST NIGHT WEARING A YET-TO-BE-RELEASED AUCKLAND FC JERSEY. IT'S THAT PARTICULAR ELEMENT THAT'S SPARKED PLENTY OF SPECULATION ABOUT WHETHER THE INCIDENT ` WHICH CARRIES A FINE OF UP TO $5000 ` WAS A SETUP. HARRY BARTLE'S BEEN LOOKING INTO THIS AND JOINS US NOW. HARRY, WHAT'S THE STORY HERE? GOOD EVENING ANDREW WEIL THIS MORNING STARTED WITH NEW SAAB SHOWING A VIDEO WITH THE PITCH AND LATER THAT SHOWED IN THIS UNRELEASED JERSEY WE SPOKE TO THEM ON THE PHONE THEY HAD BEEN CLEARLY GIVEN THE GREEN LIGHT FROM EDEN PARK TO DO THIS WHICH WOULD BE STRANGE BECAUSE IT GOES AGAINST EVERYTHING EDEN PARK HAS BEEN SAYING ABOUT SUCH INVASIONS THEN MY SOURCE TO THE FULL 180 THAT THEY HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH IT THE CO-OWNERS HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH IT IT'S ALL A BIT OF A MYSTERY THAT'S QUITE THE TURN OF EVENTS WHAT'S EDEN PARK HAD TO SAY ON THIS? I'VE SPOKEN TO EDEN PARK CEO IN A STATEMENT HE SAID THIS COULD COMPROMISE THE FAMILY FRIENDLY ENVIRONMENT OF EDEN PARK THE CO-OWNER THAT HE CONTACTED WAS ADAM ON BRO THERE'S A FEW COMMENTS HERE THAT COMMENT ALMOST IMPLIES THE CLUB WERE INVOLVED. HAVE YOU HEARD ANYTHING FROM THE OWNERS OR OFFICIALS AT AUCKLAND FC? THAT'S A GREAT POINT ANDREW WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO CONTACT THEM BUT WE ARE YET TO RECEIVE A RESPONSE I MANAGED TO GET ON THE PHONE WITH AUCKLAND FC THEY TOLD ME THE CLUB HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS HOWEVER HE DID MENTION HE CAN'T SPEAK FOR OLLY AND ANNA AND THE OFFICIAL RESPONSE NEEDS TO COME FROM THEM THERE WERE A FEW HUNDRED AT THEIR LAUNCH YESTERDAY A FEW DUTIES TO GO MISSING WHO WAS THE MASTERMIND BEHIND THE STRANGE AND CURIOUS SITUATION REMAINS TO BE ANSWERED CERTAINLY GOT PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT AUCKLAND FC THANKS FROM A CHERRY WELLINGTON PHOENIX COACH GIANCARLO ITALIANO SAW THE FUNNY SIDE OF THE SAGA, SAYING HE THOUGHT ABOUT SIGNING THE PITCH INVADER FOR HIS SPEED ` NOT THAT HE NEEDS ANY HELP AT THE MOMENT. THE NIX BOUNCED BACK FROM THEIR FIRST DEFEAT SINCE DECEMBER WITH A 2-1 WIN OVER SYDNEY FC AND FORMER PHOENIX COACH UFUK TALAY. AFTER AN EARLY SETBACK, THE PHOENIX FOUGHT FROM A GOAL DOWN TO REGAIN TOP SPOT IN THE LEAGUE. HE CUTS BACK. KOSTA BARBAROUSES! (CHEERING) FLAG STAYS DOWN, SCORE GOES UP! KOSTA BABAROUSES' WINNING GOAL ` THE 91ST OF HIS CAREER ` MOVING HIM TO EQUAL-FIFTH IN A-LEAGUE HISTORY. THE WIN ALSO EXTENDS WELLINGTON'S UNBEATEN STREAK AT EDEN PARK TO 12 MATCHES. FANS HAVE BEEN LEFT TO MARVEL AT ONE OF GREATEST NRL TRIES EVER SEEN, BUT THE WARRIORS KNOW THEY LET ONE GET AWAY LAST NIGHT, AS A RARE VICTORY OVER THE STORM SLIPPED THROUGH THEIR FINGERS IN MELBOURNE. THE NEW ZEALAND SIDE SHRUGGED OFF A HALFTIME DEFICIT TO RE-DISCOVER THE BRILLIANT FORM THAT TOOK THEM TO LAST YEAR'S PRELIMINARY FINAL. BUT WITH LESS THAN 30 SECONDS LEFT ON THE CLOCK, XAVIER COATES' MIRACLE TRY SAW THEM GO DOWN 30 TO 26. TIA MCDOUGALL HAS THE ACTION. A FLEETING, FLYING MOMENT THAT ROBS THE WARRIORS OF THE RAREST OF WINS. CAN YOU BELIEVE IT!! IT'S GUT WRENCHING. YEAH. IT'S ONE OF THOSE ONES, WHERE, UH...IT HURTS. THE WARRIORS WERE LESS THAN A MINUTE AWAY FROM DEFEATING THE MELBOURNE STORM FOR THE FIRST TIME IN NINE YEARS, BUT XAVIER COETZEE'S GRAVITY DEFYING TRY WITH 15 SECONDS LEFT ON THE CLOCK, UNDID ALL THEIR GOOD WORK. THEIR SECOND HALF WAS CLINICAL FROM THE WARRIORS, EXCEPT FOR THAT LAST TWO AND HALF MINUTES. BUT AGAIN, WHEN YOU'RE PLAYING TEAMS LIKE THE MELBOURNE STORM, IT'S AN 80 MINUTE PERFORMANCE, AND THAT TRY IS ALL CLASS. THE HOME SIDE SHOWING THAT CLASS FROM THE GET-GO. THE KIWI CLUB QUICKLY ANSWERED WITH SOME POINTS OF THEIR OWN, BUT THE FIRST HALF BELONGED TO THE STORM... PAPENHUYZEN! ...WHO MARCHED INTO HALFTIME WITH THE 18 TO 6 LEAD. YOU GIVE A QUALITY SIDE A HEAD START LIKE THAT AND, UM, IN THE END IT SORT OF... WAS A LITTLE BIT TOO MUCH. A RARK-UP FROM ANDREW WEBSTER AT THE BREAK SEEMED TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE. A RACE...FOR THE CORNER! WATENE-ZELEZNIAK! GIVING THE WARRIORS THE MOMENTUM THEY NEEDED TO TAKE CHARGE OF THE MATCH. MONTOYA FOR THE CORNER! WELL, THE BOYS REALISE IF THEY DID THAT FOR THE 80 MINUTES, WE WOULDN'T BE IN THAT SITUATION AT THE END OF THE GAME. THAT SITUATION HAD THE WARRIORS EIGHT POINTS AHEAD, WITH JUST THREE MINUTES LEFT. PAPENHUYZEN BACK ON THE INSIDE! RYAN PAPENHUYZEN'S SECOND TRY OF THE NIGHT, GIVING THE STORM A SNIFF AT VICTORY. AND WITH LESS THAN A MINUTE ON THE CLOCK, THE HOME SIDE HAD ONE LAST CRACK AT GETTING A WIN. IT'S ON US NOW, TO MAKE SURE WE GOT OUR HEADS UP. WE ATTACK THE WEEK AND WE CAN'T SOOK FOR LONG. AS THEY HEAD TO CHRISTCHURCH TO FACE THE UNBEATEN CANBERRA RAIDERS ON FRIDAY. TIA MCDOUGALL, NEWSHUB. THEY BOTH NOTCHED IMPORTANT WINS LAST NIGHT, BUT THE CHIEFS AND THE BLUES WILL BE SWEATING ON THE FITNESS OF KEY ALL BLACKS HEADING INTO ROUND FIVE OF SUPER RUGBY. RIEKO IOANE AND DALTON PAPALI'I BOTH LEFT THE FIELD IN SYDNEY WITH INJURY, WHILE THE CHIEFS ARE CERTAIN TO BE WITHOUT ANTON LIENERT-BROWN FOR AT LEAST NEXT WEEK'S GAME AGAINST THE HIGHLANDERS... AFTER A NASTY HEAD KNOCK RESULTED IN A FAILED H.I.A. HERE'S OUR RUGBY REPORTER, OLLIE RITCHIE. A CLEAN BREAK AND A SLICK OFFLOAD HAD THE HALLMARKS OF BRILLIANT ATTACKING RUGBY, BUT IT WAS THE TACKLE THAT FOLLOWED THAT LEFT ANTON LIENERT-BROWN IN A BAD WAY. HE DOES NOT LOOK GOOD. REQUIRING IMMEDIATE ATTENTION WITH CLEAR CONCERN FOR HIS NECK, LIENERT-BROWN WAS QUICKLY OFF THE FIELD, WITH THE HELP OF ST. JOHN. A PRETTY, PRETTY HEAVY HEAD KNOCK THERE LANDED FUNNY ON THE GROUND OBVIOUSLY A BIT A CONCERN AROUND HIS NECK, INITIALLY. BROWN FAILED HIS H.I.A BUT WAS ABLE TO RETURN TO THE CHIEFS BENCH, A SMILE ON HIS FACE, BACK WITH HIS TEAM MATES. JUST HAPPY TO SEE THAT ANTON'S ALRIGHT. YEAH PRETTY BAD THERE FOR A STAGE, SO GOOD TO SEE HIM UP ON THE GROUND. HAVING A LITTLE BIT OF A LAUGH. AND SOAKING UP THE SUPPORT FROM THE HAMILTON CROWD, HIS TEAM-MATES HAPPY TO POKE FUN AT THAT. GETTING A BIT OF STICK FOR WALKING UP AND SALUTING THE CROWD AND WALKING AROUND LIKE NOTHING HAPPENED. LIENERT-BROWN'S DEPARTURE WAS THE ONLY NEGATIVE ON WHAT TURNED INTO A POLISHED 46-29 WIN FROM THE CHIEFS. SIMPLY SENSATIONAL! ACROSS THE DITCH, THE BLUES DID JUST ENOUGH TO HOLD OUT THE WARATAHS, OUT WIDE, RIGHT FOR THE BLUES. BUT THEIR WIN ALSO CAME AT A COST. RIKO IOANE IT THE GROUND HARD, AND WAS OFF INSIDE THREE MINUTES. HE SAID HE WAS FINE. THEY SAID HE WAS` HE JUST STOOD UP AND THEN CLEARED FAIRLY QUICKLY, SO IT'LL GO THROUGH DUE PROCESS. THE BLUES INJURY WOES FEARED NO BETTER, WITH CAPTAIN DALTON PAPALII OFF WITH AN ANKLE INJURY IN THE SECOND HALF, ALTHOUGH THAT APPEARED PRECAUTIONARY, LEAVING PAPALII PRIMED TO WELCOME THE WINLESS CRUSADERS ON SATURDAY. OLLIE RITCHIE, NEWSHUB. WARREN GATLAND'S OFFERED TO RESIGN AFTER WALES' WOEFUL SIX NATIONS CAMPAIGN ENDED WITHOUT A SINGLE WIN AND FURTHER EMBARASSMENT FOR A PROUD RUGBY NATION. GATLAND'S SIDE ROUNDED OUT THE COMPETITION WITH A 24-21 DEFEAT TO ITALY LEAVING THEM WITH THE WOODEN SPOON FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE 2003. THE KIWI COACH, PREPARED TO STEP ASIDE. I SAID, LOOK, IF YOU WANT ME TO RESIGN, I'M HAPPY TO DO THAT. AND SHE SAID, 'LIKE HELL, THAT'S THE LAST THING I WANT.' SHE SAID, 'THAT'S WHAT I'M REALLY AFRAID OF.' SO...BUT... I CAN PROMISE YOU THAT WE'LL GO AWAY AND WE'LL MAKE SURE THAT WE REVIEW THIS. IT WAS QUITE THE OPPOSITE FEELING IN DUBLIN, AS IRELAND MARKED A ST. PATRICKS WEEKEND TO REMEMBER, BY CLAIMING THE SIX NATIONS TITLE. EMOTIONS RAN HIGH BEFORE KICK OFF, WITH CAPTAIN PETER O'MAHONY IN TEARS AS HE CONTEMPLATES HIS FUTURE IN THE INTERNATIONAL GAME. THIS PART OF IT IS THE BEST FEELING IN THE WORLD, AND THAT'S THE PART YOU CHERISH. BUT... UM, YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE TO, YOU KNOW, PROPER CHART AND BE REALISTIC. YOU KNOW, IF IT WAS MY LAST ONE, YOU KNOW, IT WASN'T A BAD ONE TO GO ON. IRELAND'S 17-13 WIN OVER SCOTLAND MARKS JUST THE SECOND TIME THEY'VE WON BACK-TO-BACK SIX NATIONS CHAMPIONSHIPS. ALL WHITES STRIKER CHRIS WOOD HITS AN INCREDIBLE MILESTONE IN ENGLISH FOOTBALL ...AND INCREDIBLE SCENES AS A LOWER LEAGUE BATTLER LEAVES IT VERY LATE TO UPSET THEIR PREMIER LEAGUE RIVALS IN THE FA CUP. AND WHAT'S BETTER THAN ONE GOAL FROM HALFWAY? TWO GOALS FROM HALFWAY. WE'VE GOT THEM BOTH, ON THIS WEEK'S SPORTING MOMENTS. AND LATER IN NEWS... IT'S ST PADDY'S DAY... AND THOUSANDS TURNED UP IN AUCKLAND TO CELEBRATE A SPECIAL DAY FOR THE IRISH. THE AUCKLAND A-LEAGUE FRANCHISE HAS REVEALED ITS NEW NAME, KIT AND CREST. HOW MANY, IF ANY, NEW ZEALAND PLAYERS HAVE YOU LURED TO COME HOME FROM OVERSEAS? ALL WHITES ARE PLAYING IN EGYPT NEXT WEEK, AND WE WANT TO SPEAK TO A COUPLE OF PLAYERS OVER THERE.
