Welcome to BBC Channel Islands. A headlines: United in grief. Jersey

:00:11.:00:15.

comes together to remember those killed in this week's stabbings as

:00:15.:00:24.

Of those who died. Also today, going for gold, Sark's Park estate

:00:24.:00:30.

trots ever closer to the Olympics. And Gone With The Wind, Mike

:00:30.:00:40.
:00:40.:00:46.

discovers quite literally why Good evening. Jersey police have

:00:46.:00:49.

formally named four of the people who died in St Helier on Sunday.

:00:50.:00:54.

They have been confirmed as 30 year-old Izabela Rzeszowska, her

:00:54.:01:00.

two children, Kinga, five, and two- year-old Kacper. Her father, 56

:01:00.:01:05.

year-old Marek Garstka also died. The announcement comes less than 24

:01:05.:01:07.

hours after the islanders join together for a requiem mass in the

:01:07.:01:12.

capital. They came to remember, to pray and

:01:12.:01:16.

to greed. This was not an ordinary church service at St Thomas's

:01:16.:01:22.

Church. It was a service to help an island that is still deep in shock.

:01:22.:01:28.

People may not come on Sunday, but in moments of grief and distress,

:01:28.:01:34.

they are coming to seek comfort in their faith. The police are still

:01:34.:01:37.

investigating how Izabela Rzeszowska, her father and her

:01:37.:01:46.

children died. The area where the incident is alleged to have

:01:46.:01:51.

happened is still sealed off. A 30- year-old Polish man, named locally

:01:51.:01:55.

as Damian Rzeszowska, is under arrest in hospital in connection

:01:55.:01:59.

with the incident. He continues to recover from his injuries, but he

:01:59.:02:04.

is not yet fit to be released and we are working with the hospital in

:02:04.:02:09.

order to determine when he will be fit for detention and interview.

:02:09.:02:15.

But last night, to the sound of a mass led half in English and half

:02:15.:02:18.

in Polish, different island communities join together to help

:02:18.:02:23.

each other get through the events of the past few days. The community

:02:23.:02:27.

is rallying together and we want to show our support for the family and

:02:27.:02:33.

friends. We like to show that we feel for them as well. I hope

:02:33.:02:36.

people will find peace from the difficult set of circumstances that

:02:36.:02:41.

have developed since Sunday. There is still a sense of shock and

:02:41.:02:45.

disbelief in the island and for many this service is the first step

:02:45.:02:50.

to help the wounded community heal. Guernsey's colleges could lose over

:02:50.:02:54.

�1 million from their budgets. In Ireland's policy council is

:02:54.:02:59.

proposing to reduce the grant they give to Ladies' College, Elizabeth

:02:59.:03:03.

College and Blanche land. It will be debated by the States next month.

:03:04.:03:08.

Overall, we are aiming to reach a position where in seven years' time

:03:08.:03:13.

the colleges as a whole will be receiving something like �1.1

:03:13.:03:18.

million less than they do now. That is out of a total grant of just

:03:18.:03:24.

under �5 million. Sark dressage rider Carl Hester has

:03:24.:03:27.

won gold at the European Championships. It is an important

:03:27.:03:32.

victory for him as he prepares for the Olympics. The teams scored a

:03:32.:03:37.

record number of points and Carl led the way with a personal best.

:03:37.:03:42.

They gold medal-winning performance. Carl Hester and Utopia impressed

:03:42.:03:46.

judges with an astonishingly sublime display. He was the shining

:03:46.:03:51.

star of the British dressage team. I was so desperate to do a mistake

:03:51.:03:57.

free test. That is where you have to start achieving the points. He

:03:57.:04:03.

is such a flamboyant tours and he can do a great test. I am delighted.

:04:03.:04:10.

It was his best ever performance, receiving a score of nearly 83%.

:04:10.:04:16.

That helped Team GB take the gold with a record-breaking score. The

:04:16.:04:21.

devotion and passion in training has paid off. I had about two-and-

:04:21.:04:25.

a-half hours' sleep, but the adrenalin kicked in. We are a

:04:25.:04:28.

partnership and have been together for six years and I feel

:04:28.:04:35.

comfortable with him. Carl will be united with Utopia once again for

:04:35.:04:40.

the British nationals next month, but the main goal is London 2012,

:04:40.:04:44.

where a repeat performance will put him in with a great chance of

:04:44.:04:51.

Olympic gold. And more good news for another

:04:51.:04:56.

Olympic hopeful. Elizabeth Caan has moved into an Olympic qualification

:04:56.:05:00.

ranking after her performance at last week's world badminton

:05:00.:05:05.

championships. The final selection will take place next spring.

:05:05.:05:11.

Good luck to her and Spain with the Olympics, Beckie Herbert will

:05:11.:05:14.

compete for invent at the European Hockey Championships tomorrow. It

:05:14.:05:19.

is the last tournament before she builds up for the Olympics. We went

:05:19.:05:26.

to watch her train in Marlow. All hopes are hooked on nailing her

:05:26.:05:30.

performance at the Euro hockey championships, especially where

:05:30.:05:34.

expectations are this five. Going to the Olympics is a huge

:05:34.:05:40.

achievement, but we want to be on the podium and winning medals.

:05:41.:05:45.

is that a realistic target? Beckie has powered into the England squad

:05:45.:05:50.

for the competition tomorrow. It is her last game played for England

:05:50.:05:54.

before Team GB take their focus towards the Olympics. But Becchio

:05:54.:05:59.

still needs to pick up key skills. How I carry the ball and take

:05:59.:06:04.

people on, connecting with the players around me and some set

:06:04.:06:09.

piece stuff. Past injuries have led to major disappointments which

:06:09.:06:12.

meant she missed out on the World Cup, Champions Trophy and

:06:13.:06:17.

Commonwealth Games, but that is not distracting her. It would be

:06:18.:06:20.

massive to be playing in London. I cannot describe the feeling it

:06:20.:06:25.

would give you to be walking out in that opening ceremony in a year's

:06:25.:06:30.

time. I have had the heartbreak of missing the Olympics in the past,

:06:30.:06:35.

so that makes it even bigger for me. Every athlete dreams of going to

:06:35.:06:45.
:06:45.:06:45.

the Olympics. Tomorrow all focus is on the European Championships.

:06:45.:06:53.

Thank you for being with us. Later on: Up, up and away, we take to the

:06:53.:06:58.

air with one of the region's search and rescue helicopter crews.

:06:58.:07:02.

It is Friday and it is that time of the week you have all been waiting

:07:02.:07:06.

for it when we tell you about something you can do for free, or

:07:06.:07:11.

that costs very little. Today might as been to a Guernsey charity that

:07:11.:07:18.

enables children and adults to have a go at windsurfing. MUSIC: Born

:07:18.:07:28.
:07:28.:07:34.

This is a windsurfing board, but it is part of a simulator and a short

:07:34.:07:40.

while I will be going out to have Aguero at windsurfing. It is nice

:07:40.:07:44.

and sunny and it should be pretty good conditions. Richard is my

:07:44.:07:50.

instructor. His is an expensive sport? Yes, it is fairly expensive,

:07:50.:07:54.

the equipment is expensive. But we have all the equipment down here.

:07:54.:08:00.

We have a club for children on a Friday morning and they can come

:08:00.:08:05.

down and used it for �5. We provide tuition courses for adults as well.

:08:05.:08:15.
:08:15.:08:15.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 60 seconds

:08:15.:09:15.

What kind of kit do I need? A wet I am speechless. He was last seen

:09:16.:09:20.

approaching Dover Castle. Send him back to us. If you fancy taking

:09:20.:09:24.

your children to one of the windsurfing sessions they cost �5

:09:24.:09:34.
:09:34.:09:35.

for half a day on Friday mornings. The weather is not looking too bad

:09:35.:09:40.

this weekend. It will feel much warm as well. We have high pressure

:09:40.:09:45.

with us for the moment. The high pressure keeps these fronts at bay

:09:45.:09:51.

for tomorrow. By the time we get to Sunday, this cold front moved

:09:51.:09:57.

closer, but it is fairly weak. Perhaps a more cloud around that

:09:57.:10:02.

may bring us some fairly heavy downpours for Monday. It should be

:10:02.:10:08.

dry for tonight. Fairly cloudy at times. A few clear spells overnight

:10:08.:10:15.

tonight. Quite mild. Generally light winds. A little bit of cloud

:10:15.:10:20.

to start the day, but it should soon disappeared and we will have

:10:20.:10:25.

good amounts of sunshine throughout the day. It will feel warm in the

:10:25.:10:32.

sunshine as well. Out at sea the forecast is for a variable wind. It

:10:32.:10:42.
:10:42.:10:56.

is pretty light as well. Good It is pretty flat but tomorrow. The

:10:56.:11:01.

outlook, across the weekend it is generally fine and dry. Perhaps

:11:01.:11:04.

more cloud towards the end of Sunday and on Monday we could see

:11:04.:11:07.

some torrential downpours in the form of showers and some thunder

:11:07.:11:12.

mixed in with those showers. By the time we get to Tuesday there will

:11:12.:11:17.

still be some showers. But there will also be some sunnier weather.

:11:17.:11:27.
:11:27.:11:31.

Not quite as warm as we get to Tuesday. This is the summary. On

:11:31.:11:36.

the beach tomorrow I think. On BBC Radio Jersey Ryan Morrison will
