Good afternoon! Welcome to travel shows at One with me Anastasia …. The latest headlines. Focus on New Zealand that is a faraway land. First tonight...

New Zealand is a long way from everywhere – three hours by plane from Australia, and about twenty-six hours by plane from Britain. Around 1,600 kilometres away in the south-western Pacific Ocean, it is made up of a group of mountainous islands. The two main ones, the North Island and the South Island, are separated by the Cook Strait. The South Island is larger than the North, however it is less densely populated. The capital city Wellington is at the southern end of the North Island.

It is a long, narrow country; nowhere in New Zealand is more than 130 kilometres from the sea. It is a little larger than Great Britain, but Great Britain has a population of 60 million, whereas New Zealand has just 4.1 million people. It is an exciting and surprising land; as well as mountains, forests; lakes and deserts, there are places where hot water and steam explode out of the ground. It is a good place to see the Southern Lights, beautiful red and green colours in night sky.

There is lots of sun, but plenty of rain, and the weather often changes quickly too. The hottest months are from December to February, when it is usually between 20 and 30C.

With warm temperatures and a lot of rain, New Zealand is a great place for farms of all kinds. Until the 1940s people said that New Zealanders `lived off the ship`s back`; in other words, the country made most of its money from the wool and meat from its sheep. For every person living in New Zealand there are ten sheep and two cows. Imagine it’s about 40 million sheep and 8 million cows in the whole country.

It is a young country too. Nobody lived there until the first Maori people landed there about a thousand years ago. The oldest tree in New Zealand is more than 1,200 years old, but you will not find any buildings that are more than about 200 years old. And in New Zealand today more than half the people are under thirty-four years old.

New Zealand was once part of the British Empire and still has the British flag as part of its own flag. Queen Elizabeth II is the Queen of New Zealand and the Head of state but her position is largely symbolic. The Head of Government is the Prime Minister.

New Zealand's government is based on the parliamentary democracy. There are two main parties, National and Labour.

Телеведущая BBC News:And now the most popular travel stories from our team of presenters from New Zealand. Mss Roberts ends up in the land of natural disasters

Корреспондент BBC News: The islands were created just 23 million years ago when land was pushed out of the ocean by volcanic eruptions. Today, there are more than fifty volcanoes in New Zealand, many of which are still active and could erupt in the future. White Island volcano is the largest active volcano and has been active since at least 1769 when it was first seen and named by the British explorer Captain James Cook. Volcanoes are not the only natural danger in New Zealand, however! Earthquakes are also very common because the country is on the edge of two tectonic plates, which are very large flat pieces of rock that cover the earth. The plates are called the Australian Plate and the Pacific Plate.

Телеведущая BBC News:Next… Our correspondent Mr. Mc Dan visits‘The Land of the Long White Cloud’ where he explores New Zealand’s past and meets Mãori.

Hello and good morning to you all. I'm MC Dan and I’ve got some very interesting things to tell you about the history of the country.

Корреспондент BBC News MC Dan: About one thousand years ago the first Maori came to New Zealand. They travelled from islands in the Pacific Ocean to the country that they called Aotearoa — the land of the long white cloud. At first they lived in both islands, but later they lived mainly on the coasts and rivers of the North Islands.

In 1642 the Dutch sailor Abel Tasman discovered New Zealand and gave it its name, from Zeeland ‘Sea Land’ which is a part of Netherlands.

Captain James Cook was a British explorer, navigator, cartographer, and captain in the British Royal Navy. He visited New Zealand in 1791 in his ship the Endeavor.

Captain James Cook visited the islands four times between 1769 and 1777, sailed all the way round them and made the first map of the country.

Today I'm not going to be alone. Here we have a guest who is the representative of Maori. He is here to talk about the tribe that has lived in New Zealand for more than a thousand years. He would like to share with us his experience and exciting stories about the tribe.Say «hi» to the audience and introduce yourself, please.

Anaru (the representative of Maori):Good day, everybody! I'm Anaru and I'm happy to be here.

Корреспондент BBC News MC Dan:: So, before beginning today's program, we did a survey where the most requested topic from our listeners was 'native people of New Zealand.'

Anaru (the representative of Maori):Oh, I can't believe it! Before the interview, I wanted to talk about this topic, and now it turned out to be a requested one! I hope you will like the stories about my tribe.

Корреспондент BBC News MC Dan:Then the mic is yours Anaru.

Anaru (the representative of Maori):When Captain Cook and his men landed here, they found a tall, strong people with brown skin and black hair. Mãori of those times lived in wooden houses and they often cut beautiful shapes into the wood which they worked with. They caught birds and fish and grew sweet potatoes for food. They were also excellent singers and dancers. They were called tangata whenua ("people of the land’) because the land was a very important part of their lives. At this time the Mãori population was approximately 120,000 people.

When the British came it was, in many ways, not a good thing for Mãori. Firstly, The Pākehā (the Māori name for white people) brought guns and diseases with them which were new to Mãori. All of these things brought terrible trouble to us. In addition to that fighting about the land began between the Maori and the British. Many people, both Mãori and Pākehā died in the battles over land. The future seemed hopeless, and the Mãori population was down to 50,000.The fighting finally ended in about 1870 but nowadays people still argue about the land and who owns it, and many people feel very strongly about it.

In 1840 Captain William Hobson wrote the Treaty of Waitangi. This said that queen of Great Britain, Queen Victoria, was now queen of New Zealand too. Many Mãori began to live more like the Pākehä. A great number of Mãori families left their old homes and moved to the cities, so the old Mãori way of life began to die. The Mãori language was dying with it, because Mãori children had to speak more English than Mãori at school.

In 1863 gold was found in the South Island, and thousands of people hurried to New Zealand to look for gold. Later, thousands more people came from British to the new country. In 1871, the white population was 250,000; ten years later was 500,000. New Zealand became a kind of big British farm, sending meat, butter, and cheese back to British by ship.

Today there are about 526,000 Māori people in New Zealand - that is about 15 per cent of the population. There are still problems for Mãori; many of them have worse health habits and living conditions than Pākehā, and it is more difficult for them to finish school and get a well-paid job.

Корреспондент BBC News MC Dan::That's very interesting. I hope one day you will see better days for Maori. Thank you for stopping by.

In spite of some negative aspects of the history, the young country was not afraid to try new things. In 1893, New Zealand was the first country in the world to let women vote. In the 1930s, the New Zealand government decided that all schools and hospitals should be free for all its people. And in 1987 New Zealand became a nuclear-free zone. This means that ships that use nuclear power or carry nuclear bombs cannot come into New Zealand waters, and that the country does not use nuclear power to make electricity.

New Zealand soldiers fought in both World Wars beside British and American soldiers, and most New Zealanders felt that they were still part of the great family of countries that once belonged to Britain.

From the 1950s many immigrants came to New Zealand from Pacific islands like Tonga and Samoa, often to work in factories. And from the 1980s, New Zealand began to look first at the jobs that immigrants could do, instead of the country that they came from. This opened the doors to many people who had not been able to move to New Zealand before.

Since the 1960s there have been big changes in the country. Many Mãori, especially young ones, began to think seriously about the future. Many Mãori argued that the Treaty of Waitangi (Договор Вайтанги) meant different things to Pākehā and Mãori who had lost land that really belonged to them. People were realizing that Mãori were an important part of New Zealand, and things began to change. Since 1975 the Waitangi Tribunal has listened to arguments about land and decided what should happen.

Today Mãori is an official language as well as English. Some government offices work in both languages, and some place names have changed. For example, New Zealand's highest mountain was once called Mount Cook; today it is known as Aoraki Mount Cook, with its Māori and English names used together.

It’s worth mentioning that between 2005 and 2006 women had the five most important jobs in the country. One of the five women was Queen Elizabeth the Second (who is queen of New Zealand ), and two others were Helen Clark, the prime minister, and Dame Sian Elias, the country’s top judge. It is the first time that this has happened anywhere in the world.

Телеведущая BBC News: Coming up later in the program today.

It is widely believed that nature crafted New Zealand with the amazing beauty of a movie set. Few destinations boast so many staggering natural wonders packed into such a small area. If you travel from the top of the North Island to the bottom of the South Island – a journey of 2,000 kilometres – you will see Wonders of New Zealand. Next. Mss Benson from Auckland.

Корреспондент BBC NewsMss Benson: Good morning. I've traveled around the country in three days, and there were places which I visited in different parts of the country. So, while traveling, I understood that New Zealand is unique.

Visitors to the city often do not realize that Auckland’s hills are volcanoes – all forty-eight of them. The youngest one is Rangitoto, which came up out of the sea only 600 years ago. But there is no danger from these volcanoes now; they have been quiet for years.

The strangest place in New Zealand is surely Rotorua, a city near the North Island. Here in Rotorua, one of the world's largest geothermal areas, visitors can witness the bubbling mud ponds but be careful, the air smells like eggs, and hot water explodes out of the ground. Just walk beside lakes of hot water extraordinary colours.

Not far away as Hot Water Beach on the Coromandel Peninsula you can find hot water coming up through the sand next to the cold sea. Visitors like to dig in the sand and make themselves a pool of hot water to lie in.

About 150 kilometres west of Rotorua are the Waitomo Caves. These enormous caves were made by a river. The best part of a visit is a journey along the river in a boat; you travel silently through the darkness of the caves until suddenly you see sounds of little stars above you. In fact these stars are lights; they belong to very smalls animals, like flies, which live on the roof of the cave.

In 1931 an earthquake destroyed much of the city of Napier, on the east cost of the North Island. When the new city was built, it was in the Art Deco style that was popular at the time. Now there are only two places in the world where you can see a lot of Art Deco buildings – Napier, and South Beach in Florida, USA.

A World Heritage Site, Fiordland National Park protects some of the most spectacular scenery in the country. Glaciers sculpted this dramatic landscape, carving the famous fjords of Milford and Doubtful Sounds. Not surprisingly, the park is a haven for hikers.

Many visitors like to walk along the Milford Track. This walk takes four days, and on the way you can stop to see the gushing cascades of Sutherland Falls, which are 580 metres high. When you arrive at Milford Sound at the end of your walk you can experience sea kayaking or enjoy a scenic flight over the park for a bird's-eye view of its staggering beauty.

Thanks to its dramatic topography, New Zealand is a hot spot for adrenaline-fueled sports: white water rafting, skydiving, hiking, and mountain biking round out the list of outdoor adventures. The country is home to one of the highest bungee jumps in the world.

Телеведущая BBC News:Ahead plus…

It’s common knowledge that there are so many extraordinary animals, birds, and plants in New Zealand. Why? I think the answer lies in the fact that until recently, it was not easy for people or animals to reach the country, so nothing changed quickly there. Many Australian animals are not found in any other country, and the same is true of many birds and plants.

The diversity of flora and fauna is spoken about in the materials of our presenter.

Корреспондент BBC News:Good morning, everybody! Because of its long isolation from the rest of the world, New Zealand has extraordinary flora and fauna. About 80% of the flora in New Zealand occurs only there. It is home to hundreds of different birds: birds with brightly coloured feathers, birds that do amazing dance shows, birds that lay their eggs under a mountain of dead leaves, birds that can copy the sounds they hear around them, birds that can’ t fly, and many more.

No wild animals lived on the land before people arrived in New Zealand. Because of this, some New Zealand birds lived on the ground without danger, and one of these was the kiwi. The kiwi does have wings, but they have become very small so it cannot fly. It cannot see very well either – but it can smell, and not many birds can do that. Many people recognize this strange bird now, and New Zealanders are often called Kiwis. The bird has been a symbol of the country ever since it was discovered.

New Zealand is also home to another bird the kakapo. In spite of the fact that it cannot fly, it is very good at climbing. Kakapos are large, heavy, green birds that come out at nights to look for food. There are only eighty-six kakapos alive in the world today, so New Zealanders have made special places for them to live. These are on islands where there are neither people nor other animals that could kill the birds. Everyone hopes that soon there will be more kakapos.

New Zealand has a large number of different reptiles compared to other continents, and some of them can be very dangerous to humans – the snakes in particular! The tuatara lives on a few small islands off the coast. The tuatara is one of the oldest types of animal in the world, and it has not really changed for 200 million years. Tuataras are about 60 centimetres long and have a third ‘eye’ on the top of their heads. They sleep during the winter, and they use the third eye to wake themselves up in spring.

Finally, New Zealand has many beautiful trees. The pohutukawa tree has red flowers at Christmas time, and people call it the ‘New Zealand Christmas tree’. But the greatest tree of them all is the kauri. Kauris are tall about 52 metres tall straight tress and more than 1,500 years old. Their wood is excellent for boats, bridges, furniture, and houses. Today kauri trees are forbidden to cut down.

Телеведущая BBC News:Also tonight we will hear from Mr Edwards aboutfamous people whose names are known all over the world. They are remembered for the things they did for mankind and countries. New Zealand is not an exception to the rule.

Mr Edwards, Who is the most famous New Zealander of all?

Корреспондент BBC News Mr Edwards:Good morning! In the twentieth century, the answer was probably Sir Edmund Hillary. On 29 May 1953, Hillary stood on top of Mount Everest with the Nepalese climber Tenzing Norgay-the first people in the world to do so. Later Hillary returned to Nepal to work with the people of Nepal and he helped to build schools and hospitals there.

Bill Hamilton loved cars, boat and engines, and he wanted a boat that could travel fast on the shallow rivers of the South Island. So he invented the Hamilton Jetboat. In 1960 four of these boats travelled 160 kilometres up the Colorado River in the USA, and soon people were buying jetboats all over the world.

New Zealand has its sports too.The country has plenty of space and good weather, so naturally people spend a lot of their free time outside. Playing (and watching ) sport is a very important part of life in the country. Water sports are especially popular because so many people live near the sea and almost everyone learns to swim in the childhood. Sailing is also popular and in summer the harbors are full of boats, big and small.

Sailor Sir Peter Blake was another favourite sportsman. He won the Whitbread Round the World race in 1989, and then managed the New Zealand sailors that won the America’s Cup twice. Sadly, he was murdered while sailing on the Amazon in 2001.

In New Zealand the most popular kind of football is rugby. The New Zealand team is called the All Blacks. Before a game of rugby, the All Blacks do a haka — a Maori dance that makes them feel strong and tries to frighten the other team. It must work, because they are the most successful team in history!

Every New Zealander can tell you stories about their favourite All Black, but one that everybody knows is Jonah Lomu. Tall (1.96 metres), heavy (119 kilos), fast and strong, Lomu played 73 times for the All Blacks between 1994 and 2002, and many people think that he was the first international rugby star.

In the 1960s Arthur Lydiard began teaching young runners. Two of them, Peter Snell and Murray Halberg, went on to win gold medals in the Olympics. Bruce McLaren had international success as a racing car driver in the 1960s, and McLaren drivers have continued to win prizes since then.

Some other twentieth century New Zealanders are Sir Peter Buck (Te Rangi Hiroa), who was the first Maori doctor, and who won the Nobel Prize for his scientific work; and Katherine Mansfield, who wrote excellent short stories. Dame Kiri Te Kanawa became famous as a singer and sang at the wedding of Prince Charles and Diana, Princess of Wales in St Paul’s Cathedral, London.

Perhaps the most famous New Zealander today is Peter Jackson. Jackson loved films as a child and began making them while still young. In the late 1990s he started work on the three films of The Lord of the Rings, and they were enormously successful. The three films together won seventeen Oscars. Jackson then made a new film of King Kong, which was also very successful. Although he is famous, Jackson still lives and works in New Zealand, and the three Lord of the Rings films were first shown there. He also has a small part in all of his films; in King Kong he tries to shoot the animal from a plane.

Телеведущая BBC News :What do you find in the country at the end of the world with ten sheep for every person? You cannot just get in your car or onto a train and go to New Zealand – it takes a long time and quite a lot of money to get there. But the country is worth visiting! There are things that make the country so special. Kiwis, kakapos, geysers, beaches where you can sit beside the sea in a pool of hot water, lakes that are bright yellow, green, and blueand some of the friendliest people in the world – they are all waiting for you in New Zealand where something beautiful or surprising waits around every corner.Why not come and see for yourself?

That’s all for now. Thanks very much for watchin, and have a lovely day.
