In light of Comic Relief, or Red Nose Day in the UK, the British carrier has created an inflight safety information video with a lineup of local celebrities. British Airways has released a director's cut of the video - a spoof audition tape, showing famous stars auditioning for parts - ahead of its release in September. British comedian Asim Chaudhry, known by his stand-up name Chabuddy G, features in the six-minute long video, playing the part of a casting director, along with chef Gordon Ramsey, Rowan Atkinson, best known for his role of Mr Bean, and actress Thandie Newton. Set out like a casting audition, Chabuddy G interviews actor Chiwetel Ejiofor and other stars for the roles of the inflight narrators. This is followed by the celebrities reading out safety instructions. In the video Ramsey can be seen expressing himself in the explicit way he is known for. "F*** me, you ****," Ramsey says to Chabuddy G. Veteran stars Sir Ian McKellen and Jim Broadbent, and actress Gillian Anderson take turns reading out lines. McKellen is teamed in a scene with actor Warwick Davies for a segment about air-supply masks. The director's cut version of the video finishes with Atkinson stumbling around trying to collect the coins he dropped on the floor, for donation. The full version safety video created to raise awareness for Comic Relief will be shown on all British Airways flights starting from September 1.

The deal was rejected in a final ruling by the regulator this morning after being knocked back in a draft decision last year. A disappointed 九一星空无限 CEO Michael Boggs said the merger had been an exciting prospect for both businesses and their audiences. "We will be carefully reviewing the NZCC's full written decision and over the next few weeks we will be considering our options." He said 九一星空无限's strategic focus continued in six key areas: growing audience reach, retaining print revenue, returning radio revenue to growth, growing new revenue streams, ensuring effective cost management and developing people and talent. "We have progressed a number of initiatives aligned with these priorities including implementation of the Washington Post Arc content management system, launch of the Salesforce singular CRM system, progressing the redesigned nzherald.co.nz site, and the nationwide launch of the new The Hits radio breakfast shows." The parties have 20 working days to decided whether to lodge an appeal. 九一星空无限 owns the NZ Herald, Herald on Sunday, nzherald.co.nz website, a range of regional newspapers, 九一星空无限talk ZB and entertainment radio stations, while Fairfax owns stuff.co.nz, the Sunday Star-Times and other metropolitan and regional newspapers. The commission, in its draft decision, said the merger would be likely to substantially lessen competition - specifically in Sunday newspapers, online news and community newspapers in 10 regions. It also believed, at the time, that it wasn't of enough public benefit that it should be allowed. The commission said this morning that those views remain unchanged.  Commission chairman Mark Berry said the regulator recognised that 九一星空无限 and Fairfax face a "challenging commercial environment". But the regulator disagreed with some of the scenarios put forward by 九一星空无限 and Fairfax about their respective futures without the merger. "Following our draft determination the applicants significantly altered their submission on what the state of the market would look like without the merger. The details of those submissions are confidential; however, we do not consider the scenarios presented to be likely outcomes. In our view, without the merger 九一星空无限 and Fairfax will be increasingly focused on their online businesses as their print products diminish in number and comprehensiveness over time," Berry said in a statement this morning "We accept there is a real chance the merger could extend the lifespan of some newspapers and lead to significant cost savings anywhere between $40 million to around $200m over five years. However these benefits do not, in our view, outweigh the detriments we consider would occur if it was to proceed." The commission said that the merged company would have control of the biggest network of journalists in the country, 90 per cent of the daily newspaper circulation in this country and a majority of traffic to online sources of New Zealand news. The merged business would reach 3.7 million New Zealanders each month, the commission said. "This merger would concentrate media ownership and influence to an unprecedented extent for a well-established modern liberal democracy. The news audience reach that the applicants have provide the merged entity with the scope to control a large share of the news consumed by a majority of New Zealanders. This level of influence over the news and political agenda by a single media organisation creates a risk of causing harm to New Zealand's democracy and to the New Zealand public," Berry said. "Having reviewed all the evidence, our primary concerns remain that this merger would be likely to reduce both the quality of news produced and the diversity of voices (plurality) available for New Zealanders to consume. Competition between 九一星空无限 and Fairfax leads them to produce higher quality content than would otherwise exist with the merger. This competition incentivises investment in editorial resources, motivates journalists and editors in their day-to-day work and acts as a safeguard to plurality," Berry said. The commission's final decision comes almost a year after the two companies applied for authorisation. The companies wanted to merge as traditional revenues decline so they could better stand up to the likes of Google and Facebook, which are taking an ever increasing share of the online advertising market. After the regulator's draft decision last year, the commission hosted a conference where Fairfax chief executive Greg Hywood argued that if the merger was disallowed, it would "become end game" for Fairfax NZ's media assets 九一星空无限 shares closed yesterday at 89c, down 2c. 九一星空无限, as of last year, had roughly 1800 fulltime staff while Fairfax had 1500. 九一星空无限 made a net profit for the year to December 31, 2016 of $74.5m and a trading ebitda (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation) of $71m. Revenue was $407m. Fairfax's New Zealand media division for the year to June 30, 2016 made ebitda of $60.2m and revenue of $352m. Fairfax New Zealand is a division of Fairfax Australia which means a net profit is not reported for the New Zealand part of the business.

Her family home in Christchurch flooded four times. The first flood happened hours after the 2011 devastating Canterbury earthquake in the area known as the Flockton Basin. Her house flooded in June 2013, and again in March 2014. The 2014 flood was described by officials as a one in 100-year event. Ironically, on the day of the March flood, the mother of two children found out her house was destroyed by flood water after a counselling session on anxiety caused by floods. Ms Byrne counts herself lucky, because she had "good insurance." However, she said flood-affected residents in the Bay of Plenty will require long-term community support when it comes to their mental recovery.

English came under fire for a Facebook post that showed him putting spaghetti on top of a pizza base and cooking it up for his family. "Cooked dinner for the family last night - like if you agree with tinned spaghetti on pizza!" he wrote on Monday night. The news quickly went viral, reaching Kimmel's late night show overnight. And Kimmel wasn't happy, suggesting English might even be worse than America's controversial leader. "We can be pretty hard on Donald Trump but they have a guy in New Zealand, the Prime Minister of New Zealand, a gentleman named Bill English, who I think is even worse and I'm going to show you why," Kimmel said. "Not only did he put (tinned spaghetti) on a pizza - he put it on a pineapple pizza. He put canned spaghetti and pineapples on a pizza. "This mother... That is so offensive. That is an act of war. "I think he just declared war on Italy ... and maybe Hawaii too." Kimmel then called for New Zealanders to take control of the situation. "Impeach that man immediately," he said. English reportedly told MoreFM his children had forced him to make the pizza post. "I quite often cook on a Monday night for the household and I had been goaded by my children about how my Facebook needed, every now and again, something a bit more personal," he said. But a professional pizza chef told The Spinoff his spaghetti concoction didn't even deserve to be called "pizza". Farina executive chef Sergio Maglione said: "It's more like round toast with stuff on top." "For me, it's all about using the best and freshest ingredients available - no processed food." English's pizza goes viral English's pizza made headlines around the world, including Buzzfeed, who simply said: "This s*** is f***ed up." In the UK, the Evening Standard ran with the headline: "New Zealand PM Bill English causes storm with 'atrocious' tinned spaghetti and pineapple pizza." And The Mirror wrote: "A man put something weird on his pizza and people can't decide whether it's a good idea." The Huffington Post wrote: "New Zealand's Prime Minister Just Concocted A Crime Against Pizza."

Despite repeated warnings of a prompt 7.30 start from promoters, it was 7.52 when the giant eyes on the circular screen flicked opening and Adele took the stage in front of 45,000 fans.  "Aren't you lively! This is my first time ever here. I've just been in Australia sweating my tits off. Not only am I happy to be here but your weather is much more my cup of tea."

Do you want to sing Happy Birthday to Michael?" Adele fans and the pop star then erupted into a rendition of Happy Birthday. Later in the show Adele paid tribute to the victims of the Westminster terror attack during the concert, dedicating her song Make You Feel My Love to those who died. The London-born singer said it felt "strange" to not be at home with her friends and family after the attack. "Today there was a terror attack in my home town of London," Adele, 28, told the audience. "Literally I'm on the other side of the world, and I want them to see our lights, and to hear us, you know, we're thinking of them. "It's very strange not being home. All I want to do today is be at home and be with my friends and family. Everyone's fine but there are four people that aren't fine. "So let's dedicate this to them tonight, and to my home town, which is my soulmate.

Locals have been staying at the local primary school. Fire fighters have been put right beside their homes to protect them. A dozen helicopters will be in the air today, and planes are also being used to help the fire fighting effort. Overnight flames got within 150 metres of the Sign of the Kiwi function centre. The recently-opened Christchurch Adventure Park is closed while it's also under threat. Rural fire officer Douglas Marshall said fatigue is an issue for some fire fighters but they're being rotated as much as possible.

Both men are pro life, but Mr Pence was asked to defend Donald Trump's position that women who end pregnancies should be punished. "Donald Trump and I would never support legislation that punished women who made the hard breaking choice to end a pregnancy." When he was asked why Mr Trump had said they should be, Mr Pence said Mr Trump's not a polished politician like the other three running for office. SEE ALSO: US correspondent Jennifer Strong speaks with Rachel Smalley about the Vice-Presidential debate Mr Pence also defended Mr Trump's tax record after the Republican presidential hopeful was accused of dodging tax and refused to hand over his returns. Mr Pence said Mr Trump did the right thing. "He went through a very difficult time but he used the tax code just the way it was supposed to be used and he did it brilliantly. When asked how Mr Pence knew that he replied: "Because he's created a business that's worth billions of dollars." Mr Trump's support of Vladimir Putin was also defended by Mr Pence but he told Mr Kaine it has to be put into perspective. In Syria, Iraq and in the Ukraine the small and bullying Russian leader has been stronger on the world stage than the American administration, Mr Pence said. He said that's stating a painful fact and it's not an endorsement of Putin, more an indictment of the weak and feckless leadership of Clinton and Obama. Unlike Mrs Clinton, Mr Kaine frequently interrupted Mr Pence who generally kept his cool, unlike his boss. There were frequent clashes during the one and only Vice Presidential debate with Mr Kaine the most badly behaved. Mr Pence was defending Mr Trump against attacks he's made about Mexicans and women when Mr Kaine had to back off after being told to do so by the moderator. Mr Kaine defended the Obama administration's handling of the Middle East issue. "Instead of 175,000 American troops deployed overseas we know have 15,000. These are very good things." Mr Pence said that's true but Iraq's been overrun by ISIS because Mrs Clinton failed to renegotiate the status of forces agreement.

The video, posted on the NZ Police Recruitment Facebook page with the hashtag #ElevatorCops, shows police officers entering an elevator and starting a beat by banging on the walls.

Police senior social media adviser Simon Flanagan said the video was part of a campaign they were doing called Beyond the Blue, which aimed to show diversity and different interests police had. "We didn't actually do it in a police station, it was shot in an unused elevator in a hospital in Auckland," Flanagan said. He estimated the video took 1-2 hours to shoot. So far the video on Facebook has received at least 1500 likes and more than 300 shares. "One of our core values is obviously valuing diversity. It's just really to show people that underneath the uniform we're human and just as diverse as anyone else," Flanagan said. Everyone involved in making the video was "really enthusiastic". Flanagan said it brought together frontline staff and those who did more behind the scenes work.

It will see the building strengthened to 60-70 percent of new building standard, as well as kitted out with improved security and IT features. Initial estimates from the minister last September put the strengthening work at around $15 million. But today, Ms Adams said $20 million has been put aside for the project. "This is the scope I always anticipated it would be. I was obviously a little cagey with my numbers while we were negotiating and just said north of 15 million, which was always the case."
