A ridge of high pressure produced a northeasterly airstream, bringing moisture from Queensland
with showers and thunderstorms in the northeast. Tomorrow isolated showers and thunderstorms will
persist over the interiors and eastern half of the state. It'll remain fine in the west and about
southern coasts. Interstate, rain in Cairns and early storm for Darwin, fine in the other centres.
For our state, isolated showers and thunderstorms on and east of the ranges,
southeast to northeast winds and moderate to fresh afternoon sea breezes. UV ratings tomorrow are
extreme throughout the state, so again please take care outdoors. Fire restrictions remain in
force. For details contact the CFS. In the north of the state tomorrow, highs of 33 for Coober Pedy,
Kynacutter and Port Augusta 35 and Broken Hill 23. The expected tops further south, Port Lincoln
27, Clare 31, Victor Harbour 29 and 30 in Renmark and Mount Gambier. On local waters,
east to northeast winds 5 to 10 knots tonight, then picking up to 10 to 15 knots with an afternoon
sea breeze. Seas rising to around 1 metre. A hot top of 32 expected in Adelaide tomorrow,
after dropping to 18 tonight. Looking ahead, hot until later Thursday when a cool chain should
bring some showers. The further outlook is cooler with clearing isolated showers. And that's the
latest news report and weather this Sunday. Thanks for joining us. From all of us here in Adelaide, good night.

Good evening, Angela Pearman with ABC National News. Prime Minister John Howard has become the
first national leader to visit East Timor since peacekeepers landed there in September.
Mr Howard met Australian troops in Dilly before heading to towns in the border region near West
Timor. During the one-day visit, John Howard was asked to tell the Prime Minister about his
visit to East Timor. During the one-day visit, Mr Howard praised Australian troops for their work
in the devastated country. This afternoon he flew to the border towns of Maliana and Batu Gdei
and met Australian soldiers over lunch.
I have undiminished admiration for the job that they're doing. They're cheerful, their morale's high,
they've done what they were asked to do. There's peace and stability, there's smiles on the faces
of the people of East Timor and I'm very proud of what these Australian men and women have done.
He also stopped to meet with locals in Maliana before returning to Dilly to fly back to Australia
late today. New Zealand has a new Prime Minister-elect with the victory of the
Labor opposition led by Helen Clark. The defeat was a solid rejection of the National Party's
nine years in government. Prime Minister Jenny Shipley has been in power for only the last two
years. This was her first election as leader. Labor picked up 39 percent of the vote to the
Nationals 31 percent. They'll join with the left-wing Alliance Party to form government.
Among plans to wind back tough anti-union laws and increase taxes for higher income earners,
the new government wants expatriate New Zealanders to return home to help rebuild the nation.
Another attempt to launch a third domestic airline is underway, this time by no-frills
operator Virgin Airlines. The UK-based company hopes to be in Australian skies before the
Sydney Olympics. If Richard Branson has his way, Virgin Australia will be in the air by July next
year and the man who says only four percent of British consumers don't know his company
plans to stay here. We've never started an airline route and pulled off it and we don't plan to
start airline routes here and pull off them. You know we're here for the long haul as they say.
It's been six years since the last attempt to break Australia's domestic duopoly.
Compass Airlines had two goes but eventually went under. Branson believes Australia is ripe
for competition and his business has deep enough pockets to fight the two existing carriers,
Qantas and Ansett, for as long as it takes. The no-frills airline plans to service most
Australian cities with a population greater than 50,000, each sector costing less than $100
for at least 50 percent of the seats. Neither Qantas nor Ansett would comment on the proposal.
While the federal government welcomes competition in the domestic market, it says there will be no
shortcuts. Virgin will have to obtain foreign investment and safety approvals before it gets
the go-ahead and it will be up to the airline to negotiate terminal space at individual airports.
Richard Branson will meet with the Prime Minister John Howard tomorrow. Julia Lim, ABC News, Sydney.
And now a brief look at tomorrow's weather. An early storm for Darwin,
hot in Adelaide and fine in the other capitals. And we'll leave you in Weeper on Cape York
with scenes from a Royal Flying Doctor Service charity run with a difference. Good night.

new millennium, Barry Humphreys takes a look over his shoulder. The 60s are inextricably linked with
sex, drugs and rock and roll. And sometimes all three at once. Australians from all walks of life
were trying to get into step with the latest dance trends from overseas. Barry Humphreys flashbacks
