That'3 all from t`e BBC Fews `t Six, so it's goodbye from | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
Thank you for being with us. The Jersey flag has been flying over | :00:08. | :01:06. | |
London today to mark the 69th anniversary of the Channel Islands' | :01:07. | :01:08. | |
liberation from German occupation. It was raised outside the | :01:09. | :01:09. | |
headquarters of the Departmdnt for headquarters of the Department for | :01:10. | :01:12. | |
Communities and Local Government in Westminster this morning. In a | :01:13. | :01:16. | |
moment we'll see the Liberation Day celebrations from across thd Islands | :01:17. | :01:20. | |
` but first Jen Smith reports on the significance of the UK getting | :01:21. | :01:21. | |
significance of the UK getthng behind our national day. | :01:22. | :01:26. | |
On a windy day in Westminstdr, the Jersey flag flies over the Ministry | :01:27. | :01:27. | |
for Communities. It's the fhrst time for Communities. It's the first time | :01:28. | :01:32. | |
the UK government's marked the anniversary of the Channel Hslands' | :01:33. | :01:33. | |
anniversary of the Channel Islands' liberation from German occupation. | :01:34. | :01:43. | |
It is splendid because we are a proud member of the British Isles, | :01:44. | :01:48. | |
loyal supporter of the crown and it is excellent flag is flying with | :01:49. | :01:52. | |
others. The British Communities Secretary | :01:53. | :01:55. | |
Eric Pickles MP said it was a "timely reminder about the freedoms | :01:56. | :01:59. | |
that we take for granted across the British Isles." And for Jersey | :02:00. | :02:02. | |
historian Doug Ford, the fl`g is highly symbolic. | :02:03. | :02:08. | |
It means a recognition of the flag, it also reinforces Jersey's position | :02:09. | :02:18. | |
in relation to the British government as a separate | :02:19. | :02:20. | |
jurisdiction. Jersey's Treasury minister Philip | :02:21. | :02:23. | |
Ozouf pushed for Jersey's flag to be flown in London. Speaking from the | :02:24. | :02:26. | |
capital, he hopes next year Guernsey will be included too. | :02:27. | :02:34. | |
It is a powerful message and I have put a Guernsey flag as a statement | :02:35. | :02:36. | |
put a Guernsey flag as a st`tement of solidarity on my Twitter profile | :02:37. | :02:43. | |
just to show we are always Better Together in the Channel Isl`nds and | :02:44. | :02:46. | |
the Guernsey flag must be over London next year. | :02:47. | :02:49. | |
Well, of course, the Jersey flag flies proudly on the island's | :02:50. | :02:52. | |
national day every year. And authorities on both sides of the | :02:53. | :02:55. | |
Channel are hoping the UK Government have started a new tradition today ` | :02:56. | :02:59. | |
and fly their Jersey flag for years to come. | :03:00. | :03:03. | |
Liberation Day is not just about the politics ` it's all about the | :03:04. | :03:05. | |
people. Veterans of the Normandy people. Veterans of the Normandy | :03:06. | :03:18. | |
landings were recognised in a special ceremony while the rescue of | :03:19. | :03:22. | |
the island enjoyed the festivities of the anniversary of freedom. | :03:23. | :03:33. | |

Sir Michael Birt gave his l`st liberation speech as Jersey's | :04:14. | :04:15. | |
Bailiff. He spoke of the importance this year holds. | :04:16. | :04:21. | |
We should recall that this year marks not only the centenarx | :04:22. | :04:23. | |

which we shall be marking on the 4th of August, but also the 70th | :04:30. | :04:35. | |
anniversary of the Normandy landings in 1944. | :04:36. | :04:38. | |
To mark this special anniversary ` Normandy veterans were awarded with | :04:39. | :04:40. | |
medals containing sand from the beaches they fought on. A proud | :04:41. | :04:45. | |
moment. I never believed this would happen. | :04:46. | :04:51. | |
For 50 years I try to forget the whole thing. The years have flown. | :04:52. | :05:00. | |
Really quick. It is unbelievable that I will be 91 in a few weeks' | :05:01. | :05:03. | |
time. As celebrations ` including the | :05:04. | :05:06. | |
re`enactment of English soldiers liberating the island ` continued | :05:07. | :05:09. | |

proposed. A drive to get more families | :06:33. | :06:35. | |

baton relay. We could not bring you the report from Guernsey tonight. We | :11:57. | :12:00. | |
had a few technical gremlins on the programme. We hope to have that | :12:01. | :12:05. | |
later at 10:25pm. That is it for now. We hand you over now to | :12:06. | :12:09. | |
spotlight. 35, 45 or 55 miles. For somd, it | :12:10. | :12:16. | |
will be the first time. It will be the first time for everybodx on a | :12:17. | :12:22. | |
new route. 2500 young people under canvas on | :12:23. | :12:31. | |
Dartmoor. The Ten Tors expedition is in its... The route has been | :12:32. | :12:34. | |
changed, primarily for safety reasons. There are a series of | :12:35. | :12:41. | |
safety control points. That is mainly to make it safer for the Army | :12:42. | :12:44. | |
to get their personnel there and not to be relying on helicopters. Also, | :12:45. | :12:51. | |
it mitigates the risk of te`ms crossing rivers. It is a huge and | :12:52. | :12:55. | |
costly logistical exercise for the Army to organise the event. The new | :12:56. | :13:02. | |
route has been designed to reduce the necessity for helicopters. You | :13:03. | :13:07. | |
are right to talk about the reduced helicopter hours. It is just to | :13:08. | :13:14. | |
reassure both the teams and the team managers that, should there be | :13:15. | :13:20. | |
problems, we have contingencies in place. Many of the teams have been | :13:21. | :13:25. | |
able to train on the new routes. Experienced team leaders sax the | :13:26. | :13:29. | |
changes are sensible. If yot're going to take on the management | :13:30. | :13:31. | |
changes are sensible. If you're going to take on the managelent of | :13:32. | :13:31. | |
going to take on the management of 2500 youngsters, you are tr`ined. | :13:32. | :13:35. | |
There has to be an element of review on safety. I think we have always | :13:36. | :13:39. | |
done it that way before. It does not necessarily work as a policx. The | :13:40. | :13:46. | |
necessarily work as a policy. The most difficult to rein in Britain | :13:47. | :13:51. | |
are no less challenging. It is a bit less remote, bit less trickx. | :13:52. | :13:54. | |
are no less challenging. It is a bit less remote, bit less tricky. But | :13:55. | :13:54. | |

find navigation. Still going to do the same amount of miles, still the | :14:04. | :14:07. | |
same number of hills. It is a smaller area. The weather is likely | :14:08. | :14:13. | |
to be challenging, too. The forecast is for another wet night and rain | :14:14. | :14:17. | |
tomorrow. The teams set off at 7:30am. The weather already having | :14:18. | :14:20. | |

Swimmers and beach`goers ard being Swimmers and beach`goers are being | :14:44. | :14:45. | |
warned to be on the look out for barrel jellyfish as the weather | :14:46. | :14:48. | |

Earlier I spoke to Tom Bell from the Marine Conservation Society, who | :14:57. | :15:00. | |
told me more about them. The barrel jellyfish, which is what | :15:01. | :15:03. | |
we have seen recently around the Solent and Portland, it is an | :15:04. | :15:05. | |
Solent and Portland, it is `n enormous jellyfish. It can be up to | :15:06. | :15:12. | |
a foot and a half across. It does look quite intimidating. It is | :15:13. | :15:15. | |
actually quite harmless. They look quite intimidating. It is | :15:16. | :15:16. | |
actually quite harmless. Thdy come actually quite harmless. They come | :15:17. | :15:19. | |
into our waters, they feed on small marine life. They are a favourite | :15:20. | :15:25. | |
food for other animals such as turtles. People should not be too | :15:26. | :15:35. | |
concerned about them? Our advice is always to stay away. If you see any | :15:36. | :15:40. | |
sort of jellyfish, look but do not touch. We are very interestdd | :15:41. | :15:42. | |
sort of jellyfish, look but do not touch. We are very interested if | :15:43. | :15:46. | |
people see jellyfish to get photographs. If you can identify it, | :15:47. | :15:52. | |
tell us about it. There's lots of information on our website about | :15:53. | :15:53. | |
tell us about it. There's lots of information on our website `bout the | :15:54. | :15:54. | |
eight different kinds of jellyfish you find in British waters. If you | :15:55. | :15:57. | |
see one, have a good look at it. see one, have a good look at it. | :15:58. | :16:00. | |
Take some photos but do not touch it. | :16:01. | :16:04. | |
Tom Bell, thank you. Time for the sport now, and today, Dave's been to | :16:05. | :16:07. | |
Taunton to mark a huge achidvement for the girls of King's College. | :16:08. | :16:09. | |
for the girls of King's College It's a year to the day since | :16:10. | :16:11. | |
for the girls of King's College. It's a year to the day sincd Andrew | :16:12. | :16:11. | |
It's a year to the day since Andrew Simpson, or Bart to his fridnds | :16:12. | :16:13. | |
Simpson, or Bart to his friends, died when his catamaran capsized. | :16:14. | :16:16. | |
After a disastrous season for the football league clubs in the | :16:17. | :16:17. | |
football league clubs in thd south`east, what about some success | :16:18. | :16:21. | |
for the region? Here at King's College in Taunton, the girls | :16:22. | :16:24. | |
underrating team are champions of England, after winning the national | :16:25. | :16:29. | |
cup. Girls and women football in the south`west is heading in thd right | :16:30. | :16:35. | |
direction. Whilst Yeovil Town ladies averaged the super league for the | :16:36. | :16:38. | |

a Yeovil Town fan. Does this success make up for their relegation? Yes, | :17:31. | :17:36. | |
it does. But I'm still very proud of Yeovil for getting into the | :17:37. | :17:39. | |
championship. That is a wonderful achievement for them. I don't mind | :17:40. | :17:44. | |
that we're getting relegated. After a senior men's campaign which saw | :17:45. | :17:49. | |
Yeovil Town and Plymouth dropped a division, Exeter City almost | :17:50. | :17:55. | |

Cup rugby disintegrating, they are keen to finish with a good result. | :18:22. | :18:26. | |
What I have to be careful of is not to get too comfortable wherd we | :18:27. | :18:27. | |
to get too comfortable where we think we are going, and forget about | :18:28. | :18:35. | |

through to when the mining stopped and looking to the future as well. | :22:28. | :22:32. | |
