Good morning, guys, Martin here with you final morning bulletin.

:00:00.:00:00.

We find out more about this record-breaking octopus.

:00:00.:00:10.

And Team England strike gold on day seven of the Commonwealth Games.

:00:11.:00:19.

First, officials in Eastbourne say they're hopeful the resort?s pier

:00:20.:00:23.

can be rebuilt, after much of it was destroyed by fire.

:00:24.:00:26.

The blaze broke out on the famous south coast attraction

:00:27.:00:28.

Nobody was hurt, and it's thought the fire started

:00:29.:00:32.

Firefighters remain on the scene this morning.

:00:33.:00:39.

Next, a deep-sea octopus has been observed keeping a record-breaking

:00:40.:00:42.

watch over her eggs of nearly four and a half years.

:00:43.:00:45.

The devoted eight-legged mum was first seen by scientists in 2007,

:00:46.:00:49.

clinging to a rock face off the coast of California.

:00:50.:00:54.

A month later she laid her eggs and began her long watch.

:00:55.:00:58.

The researchers say her behaviour was her way of adapting to the cold

:00:59.:01:02.

water, giving the baby octopuses plenty of time to develop.

:01:03.:01:06.

Next up, some of the cast of the new Star Wars movie can be

:01:07.:01:10.

That's because filming is currently taking place there for

:01:11.:01:14.

A two-mile no entry zone has been created on the picturesque

:01:15.:01:20.

Skellig Michael, off the West Coast of Ireland and the BBC's Andy West

:01:21.:01:23.

Seems for the new Star Wars film are being shot here. Very tight security

:01:24.:01:39.

here to make sure no one gets a glimpse of what is being filmed. The

:01:40.:01:43.

stars are being flown to the island in a helicopter and there is even a

:01:44.:01:47.

Navy warship circling the island to make sure no one gets close. The

:01:48.:01:52.

scene being shot over the three days is apparently only a minute long and

:01:53.:01:57.

has taken three days to complete. Luckily, it seems the force is

:01:58.:02:00.

strong on Next,

:02:01.:02:05.

it's day eight of the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow and the home

:02:06.:02:06.

nations have impressed throughout. But yesterday it was all about

:02:07.:02:09.

Team England, Ayshah is in Glasgow Welcome back to Glasgow

:02:10.:02:12.

for another action-packed day, but, before we tell you what's coming

:02:13.:02:18.

up, let?s take a look back Greg Rutherford,

:02:19.:02:24.

the Olympic long jump champion became the Commonwealth Champion

:02:25.:02:32.

last night after leaping to gold. At one point, he looked like he

:02:33.:02:35.

might have to settle for silver, but cheered on by the crowd in Hampden

:02:36.:02:38.

Park, he leapt 8.20 metres on his It is never an easy road. I was not

:02:39.:02:56.

sure if I could carry on jumping because of last year. But I've come

:02:57.:03:00.

away with another title which is what it is all about. I'm so happy,

:03:01.:03:07.

I have to do it at the European Championships. It is amazing.

:03:08.:03:12.

In the gymnastics arena, Max Whitlock and Claudia Fragapane both

:03:13.:03:14.

won their second Commonwealth Games gold in Glasgow as England dominated

:03:15.:03:17.

Now, for most athletes who compete here at the games, being away

:03:18.:03:25.

from home and family for a few weeks is all part and parcel of the job.

:03:26.:03:34.

But for Scottish shooting sisters Jen

:03:35.:03:39.

and Seonaid McIntosh who have both been competing here in Glasgow.

:03:40.:03:42.

What is like competing here in Glasgow? It has been phenomenal. The

:03:43.:03:56.

home crowd has been great. It is my first, it has been quite an

:03:57.:04:01.

experience. You are sisters, what is it like competing against each

:04:02.:04:06.

other? I am pretty competitive with her, but when we are on the line she

:04:07.:04:11.

is just another athlete. Same thing. Absolutely. We are quite competitive

:04:12.:04:22.

when it comes to competing. What does your mum make of your success?

:04:23.:04:27.

I think she is incredibly proud to see us both here competing for

:04:28.:04:33.

Scotland. I think that, as well, he's pretty happy. --.

:04:34.:04:41.

Well, coming up later today, the cyclists hit the streets of Glasgow.

:04:42.:04:44.

There'll be more gymnastics action with Louis Smith.

:04:45.:04:47.

And the Weirwolf, also known as David Weir,

:04:48.:04:55.
