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.

: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.

Really quick. It is unbelievable that I will be 91 in a few weeks'

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

changes are sensible. If yot're going to take on the management

going to take on the management of 2500 youngsters, you are tr`ined.

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

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

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

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

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.

first time, here in Taunton, King's College have become the best team in

:16:39.:16:43.

the country in their age group. It comes from the fact they are

the country in their age group. It comes from the fact they ard at a

are not just about getting them to do well in exams, but we sed them

as much as they possibly can. The national triumph is a first for the

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
