The Serious Fraud Office in New Zealand has announced it will investigate a 100-thousand dollar donation to the party of Foreign Minister Winston Peters. The office says there's evidence to suspect that an investigation may reveal serious and complex fraud. Winston Peters is one of New Zealand's most experienced - and most controversial - politicians. New Zealand correspondent Kerri Ritchie reports, the Prime Minister Helen Clark is coming under increasing pressure to sack the Foreign Minister.
