Checkpoint programme starts after the news and weather forecast:
1. Fiji's Governor-General appears to have hit a brick wall in his attempts to achieve national reconciliation through constitutional changes. The committe [i.e. committee] to review the constitution has failed to achieve consensus and has presented conflicting minority and majority reports.

2. A controversy over mining in the Coromandel has blown up again. As demonstrators protest, the Heritage Mining Company began its diamond drilling programme on the Golden Gem Licence.
Report by Janice Aplin
Ken Piddington, Director General, Dept of Conservation

3. New Caledonia, where pro-independence supports have stepped up their campaign against the country's impending referendum - by proclaiming tomorrow a national day of protest.
