Kia Ora, welcome to _____________ News I’m ____________ and I’m ______________.
In today’s stories: A new crime wave is sweeping the country in the form of woollen
graffiti; Scientists have invented an Invisibility cloak - we help them find it - and the latest
in weather around the country. But first, a story that will turn your world
upside down...
If you think the world is getting more and more topsy-turvy, it turns out you’re right.
Builders in Germany have built an upside-down house which rests on it’s roof. Inside there
are beds screwed into the ceiling, upside down wardrobes, an upside down kitchen and
even an upturned bathroom, though it’s not known if anyone has tried to have a bath in
it. Or go to the toilet. The hose was built as a comment about the
state of the world, and has become a popular tourist attraction, although many visitors
complain of feeling sick and dizzy after just a few minutes inside.
Thanks _______. Even
watching that makes me feel like vomiting. And now for a story that is truly out of sight!
Look out Harry Potter - the world of science is catching up to the world of magic!
Scientists in Europe have created a 3D “Invisibility Cloak” which can hide objects by bending
light waves. It has been found that light can be controlled using tiny crystals that
make objects disappear. So far, scientists have made small objects—
such as coins — disappear but hope that it won’t be long
before they are hiding cars, planes — and even people.
However, since inventing the invisibility cloak, the scientists have been having trouble
finding it. “As soon as we put it down somewhere it just disappears!” the inventor of the
cloak said. It appears they are having trouble finding
other things too, like their lunch, which they think may be underneath the cloak.
What will this invention actually be used for? Hoping to see through the reasons behind
the Invisibility Cloak, here is our on the spot reporter _________ with more on this
story.
Thanks ______________. And now, how’s this
for an interesting yarn. A new wave of graffiti crime is covering the
country, thanks to an underground gang known as the Midnight Knitters.
These wool-waving criminals are covering tree branches and lampposts with small jerseys
and scarves under the cover of darkness. Police say this is ‘illegal’ because they
are being done on public property without permission, and warn that
if the Midnight Knitters aren’t caught soon every tree, lamppost and traffic light in
the country will soon be warmly dressed against the cold.
A police spokesman said “The problem is spinning out of
control, they’re a close-knit group of dyed-in-the-wool criminals. We are stitching together a case
but it’s not seamless. There is no real pattern to the crimes”
So far, the criminal knitters have escaped arrest, and continue to pull the wool over
the eyes of both the public
and the police. We go now to a secret location, with _________,
who has an exclusive interview with one of the Midnight
Knitters gang.
Well, at least they’ll be warm if they get caught and go to jail.
Now, let’s have a look at the weather up and down the country with _________. What’s
in store?
Thank you ____________. Let’s have a look at tomorrow’s weather:
Starting in the Far North, in Kaitaia look out for some pretty flash flooding, and raindrops
as big as your head. If you’re going outside, wear a hat.
In Auckland there’ll be a mix of fair conditions and unfair
conditions—but those are the conditions and you’ll just have to
accept them. There will be no weather at all for the Bay
of Plenty, it’s taking a short holiday but is expected to
be back for the weekend.
In Napier and Hastings the weather will sometimes be
changeable, and sometimes not. We have really no idea what will happen there...
In Taranaki, a mild depression brings with it a very dull day, and it’ll be overcast
and gloomy all morning. But things should cheer up by the evening, so don’t worry.
Everything will be fine. Wellington will have another capital day,
there will be no wind at all and the conditions will be so pleasant they’ll actually be
EXTREME! In the top of the South Island, Kaikoura can
always expect to have a good day, sunny and calm in idyllic surroundings.
Except for tomorrow, when the weather will be the worst you’ve ever seen.
A real mix for Christchurch, which will have some unreasonable rainfall, some sensible
wind, moderate thunderstorms and some very angry snow.
And in the lower South, Dunedin will be frosty, cold and unfriendly until late morning, when
the sun will pop over for a visit. Everybody likes the sun.
That’s all from me. Remember, if it’s raining outside, that’s the weather for
you. Now it’s back to the news desk with ________
and ________.
Thanks __________. Now, just before we go, it’s time for Two
Minutes With _______, who today is talking to a man / woman who has just
become an unusual
World Champion…
Well, that’s all we have time for. We hope you’ve enjoyed today’s broadcast.
Thank you all for watching and we’ll see you again next time.
Until then I’m ____________ and I’m _______________ for _______________News.
