From the news Talks Heavy Newsroom. This is NEWSFACS. In
this update, police are appealing for witnesses to a mass
brawl early yesterday on Auckland's Cardanga Happy Road. Three men
were hospitalized after fighting involving around fifty people. At twenty
one year old man is you in court today, though
police are still seeking two others. DJ Keith Woodcock told
(00:25):
One News he saw the fight broke out and quickly escalate.
I saw a couple of girls fighting first and then
sort of got out of hand, and people came from everywhere,
and cars came from everywhere, and just the whole road
turned into a big book. Also today, eastern areas of
the North Island are and for a bantering from rain.
Heavy rain warnings a reinforced for Corimandel Peninsula, Tired Alfitte
(00:46):
and Hawks Bay, with rainfall expected to reach out to
two hundred millimeters. Watchers also apply for Bay of Plenty,
Tatadooa and winded Upper and strong wind watches for the
north of the country. Two Keywius are doing their best
to make up for a lack of a legal requirement
to register recreational boats. Their n Z Boat Register is
helping with identifying and locating boats. Sam Allen co founded
(01:09):
the free service with a friend and says they feel
it's an important measure to prevent loss. Every other First
World country has boat registers that has a coast, but
New Zealand doesn't, and we've got the highest boat ownership
per capita anywhere in the world. Iconic French nineteen sixties
movie sex symbol and later animal rights activist Bridget Bardo
has died at the age of ninety one, and a
(01:31):
Central Othago population Boom is helping its biggest New Year's festival,
Rhythm and Alps, to stay afloat. It returns for a
fifteenth year in Codrona Valley today, again extended to three
days and on track to be a sellout. General manager
Harry Orange says Warnaka's growth into a township rather than
just a holiday destination has certainly helped is a substantial
(01:53):
increase in housing development, an actual sort of permanent, full
time residents in the township, as well as obviously Queenstown's
growth last ten years or so. That's news. Nick Curios
has blitzed Arena san Berlenka in straight sets six three
sixty three across what has been coined their Battle of
the Sexes tennis match in Dubai. So Berlinka is the
(02:13):
current women's world number one and has four Grand Slam titles.
Kurios reached the Wimbledon final in twenty twenty two. The
art has played only five matches this year due to
a wrist injury. So Berlenka's side of course has been
reduced by nine percent and what was intended as a
way to balance the contest, each player was only allowed
one serve per point. Ex Wallabies and Chiefs coach Dave
(02:37):
Reenie has continued his dominance of former All Blokes mentors
Sir Steve Hansen and Ian Foster. In Japan Rugby League one,
Kobe have beat in Toyota forty nine to twenty nine
for a third victory this season, and Kamanchi has crossed
the line first in the City to Hobart yacht Race,
clocking two days, five hours, three minutes and thirty six seconds.
(02:59):
The victory mark redemption after the boats forced retirement last
year with a torn mainsail. That's sports. I'm clear Sherwood.
