Channel Islands News. Drownhng in debt, the woman who is struggling to

:00:14.:00:21.

make ends meet, despite figtres that suggest islanders are seeking less

:00:22.:00:24.

debt advice. All winter I suffered so much

:00:25.:00:30.

depression, I have stayed in bed. 07 years on, the tribute to a

:00:31.:00:37.

Canadian airman shot down in Guernsey ahead of D`Day. And the

:00:38.:00:43.

need for speed. We are on the road as motormania comes to the Channel

:00:44.:00:45.

Islands. Good evening.

:00:46.:00:57.

Personal debt level levels hn Jersey are falling, according to the

:00:58.:01:02.

Citizens Advice Bureau. The size of islanders' overall debt is down from

:01:03.:01:07.

?5 million to ?3. 7 million last year. Fewer peek people are seeking

:01:08.:01:12.

their help. But many are sthll struggling. We have this report The

:01:13.:01:17.

bills keep piling up for Tish but she cannot afford to pay thdm. After

:01:18.:01:22.

the loss of family member, she has fallen into debt.

:01:23.:01:26.

I lost my mum, dad, husband and brother in the space of a fdw years.

:01:27.:01:33.

All of the debt has come back to me. I just can't get, as soon as I get

:01:34.:01:38.

myself clear, I think I am clear and something else hits plea.

:01:39.:01:43.

She has not been able to afford the basics like heating her homd it is

:01:44.:01:48.

affecting her emotionally. I cannot afford to eat propdrly

:01:49.:01:52.

Regarding heating, I cannot afford to put it on at all. No way. All

:01:53.:01:58.

winter I suffered so much ddpression I have stayed in bed. I havd an

:01:59.:02:04.

electric blanket. Other than that, I would have been freezing thhs

:02:05.:02:07.

winter. These are difficult times for Tish.

:02:08.:02:12.

The number of islanders seeking money help in Jersey, howevdr has

:02:13.:02:17.

dropped. Last year, the Cithzens Advice Bureau helping 241 pdople

:02:18.:02:22.

with money problems totalling ? . 7 million. Fallen from 278 million

:02:23.:02:28.

with a combined debt of ?5 lillion the year before. The charitx wants

:02:29.:02:32.

to get the message out that there is light at the end of the tunnel.

:02:33.:02:37.

The amount has reduced slightly I hope that is good news. And this

:02:38.:02:42.

year we will see less clients. Over the last three or four years, the

:02:43.:02:45.

values have been steadily increasing.

:02:46.:02:49.

But some are stuck in a constant debt trap. A trap many feel they

:02:50.:02:53.

will not be freed from any time soon.

:02:54.:03:01.

There is concern tonight amongst disabled islanders that little has

:03:02.:03:05.

changed in Guernsey since the passing of the Disability and

:03:06.:03:07.

Inclusion Strategy last year. This was the scene when the strategy was

:03:08.:03:11.

passed in November. Legislation coming from the tat guilty will not

:03:12.:03:19.

be ready until 2016. Last nhght Guernsey Disability Alliancd

:03:20.:03:24.

recognised progress in extr` care housing and careers' allowance but

:03:25.:03:29.

agreed more should be done. There is not really a lot extra

:03:30.:03:34.

happening. One of the reasons is that the Disability and Inclusion

:03:35.:03:37.

Strategy is something that needs the biggest push from the centrd of

:03:38.:03:41.

Government. Things that happen quickly tend to come from individual

:03:42.:03:45.

departments. This one must come from the centre and the State is not

:03:46.:03:49.

structured to do that well. The jury in the trial of a former

:03:50.:03:56.

Jersey person has started to deliver its verdict. Graham Bushehr has

:03:57.:04:05.

pleaded not guilty on counts, was alleged to have using parish money.

:04:06.:04:13.

He claims that this was a h`d had take, he did not set out to use

:04:14.:04:17.

parish funds. Sacrificing his life in the efforts

:04:18.:04:22.

to maintain liberty and reg`in peace, the comments of a Canadian

:04:23.:04:28.

air squadron remembering ond of its members killed 70 years ago.

:04:29.:04:33.

Flight Lieutenant John Saville was helping the allies to travel

:04:34.:04:38.

undetected to the beaches of Normandy on D`Day.

:04:39.:04:41.

We have this report. NEWS REEL: The Channel Islands, well

:04:42.:04:48.

in the invasion area are below. Guernsey and Alderney. Out of the

:04:49.:04:55.

night sky they carry the glhders... More than 7,000 vessels heading for

:04:56.:05:00.

France. To ensure that they could cross the Channel, German r`dar

:05:01.:05:07.

needed to be knocked out. The Freya radar system at Fort George was

:05:08.:05:11.

significant. At 8. 30am, Flhght Lieutenant John Saville led his

:05:12.:05:14.

flight of eight Thai tifs on a successful attack on the

:05:15.:05:18.

installation. But the 34`ye`r`old was hit by German antiaircr`ft fire

:05:19.:05:24.

making a second run at the target and he died when the aircraft

:05:25.:05:29.

crashed into Havelet Bay. It could have been scribing if the r`dar had

:05:30.:05:35.

23409 been destroyed, something that was recognised by the peopld of

:05:36.:05:38.

Guernsey. That would have woken up thd Germans

:05:39.:05:43.

in a most amazing way. It w`s not allowed to happen it cost a life but

:05:44.:05:47.

it saved thousands. One of the men who helped to locate

:05:48.:05:52.

the aircraft, said it was only then that they confirmed that thd pilot

:05:53.:05:56.

had remained with his plane. We did several dives, and found a

:05:57.:06:04.

few personal items that proved that yes, Flight Lieutenant John Saville

:06:05.:06:10.

was and remained with the ahrcraft. Many people don't realise that

:06:11.:06:14.

behind me, Flight Lieutenant John Saville's ircraft is lying ` stone's

:06:15.:06:20.

throw away in Havelet Bay. He was the only member of his flight not to

:06:21.:06:24.

return that day. But the mission was a success. They succeeded in

:06:25.:06:29.

knocking out the radar stathon but the Germans got it up and rtnning

:06:30.:06:34.

but not until later in the day, allowing the Allied Forces tactical

:06:35.:06:41.

surprise on D`Day. Tomorrow the BBC will have full

:06:42.:06:47.

coverage of the events to m`rk the 70th anniversary of D`Day. We will

:06:48.:06:51.

be talking to veterans about their memories on that pivotal dax in the

:06:52.:06:54.

conflict. We will have more pictures for you

:06:55.:07:00.

on BBC One at 7.00pm tomorrow night. Still ahead in Spotlight: Wd are

:07:01.:07:05.

live at the Royal Cornwall Show with thousands of visitors. The sun

:07:06.:07:10.

shining on us. As ever the `nimals the stars and we are meeting a very

:07:11.:07:15.

special one. Now it is the day that petrol heads

:07:16.:07:21.

have been waiting for, the Jersey International Motoring Festhval

:07:22.:07:24.

starting tonight. Classic c`rs, motorbikes and carts will bd racing

:07:25.:07:31.

around the island all weekend. Among them an 18`year`old jerksman with

:07:32.:07:35.

dreams of stardom. Sophie Stlehria went to meet him.

:07:36.:07:40.

`` Jerseyman. I love the idea of speed.

:07:41.:07:47.

Jack Buetel racing at Donnington Park. One week later, and J`ck

:07:48.:07:51.

Buetel is here. I was asked to ride in one of these.

:07:52.:07:59.

I love Formula One racing. Le my dad and mum thought I would be `t the

:08:00.:08:07.

right age of 14 to start. It is here where the pride takes place. Family

:08:08.:08:13.

support is crucial in motorracing. This is Jack's dad's workshop.

:08:14.:08:22.

We like to have a chat with what is going on.

:08:23.:08:26.

I have managed to get into Jack s racing car but the fact he lanages

:08:27.:08:32.

to ride 140 miles an hour in this space is surprising. But th`t is

:08:33.:08:35.

what he will be doing with lany other cars in Jersey over the

:08:36.:08:40.

weekend. When the who mile `n hour speed limit is to be abandoned! The

:08:41.:08:46.

festival organisers have bedn getting ready since 4.00am. An event

:08:47.:08:51.

that has taken a year to organise. But a value Festival.

:08:52.:08:55.

It is a huge commitment. But it brings out a lot of people on to the

:08:56.:08:59.

island to compete. We feel that is important. Part of doing thd cart

:09:00.:09:05.

racing is starting to help with the week`long festival. This is helping

:09:06.:09:16.

the economy for the island. Hopefully this will encourage more

:09:17.:09:20.

young islanders like Jack to join in the sport.

:09:21.:09:24.

And now it is time for the weather. It is warming up? It is. We are set

:09:25.:09:30.

to deliver for tomorrow. Looking to be dry and warm with good stnny

:09:31.:09:33.

spells and temperatures for many of us into the 20s.

:09:34.:09:40.

Now the weather today, we h`ve been between two weather systems, keeping

:09:41.:09:44.

things settled and light. Tomorrow a breeze. This low pressure sxstem

:09:45.:09:49.

adding to the west turning things more threatening into the wdekend

:09:50.:09:53.

with the risk of showers on Saturday. So let's have a look at

:09:54.:09:58.

the detail tonight. The clotd is building. A risk of one or two light

:09:59.:10:02.

showers, most of us seeing ` dry night. The winds light overnight.

:10:03.:10:08.

Under the cloud the temperatures not falling below 12 or 13 Celshus.

:10:09.:10:13.

Tomorrow there may ablittle bit of cloud. Starting to clear thdn a dry

:10:14.:10:18.

and bright day with good long sunny spells. Now the temperatures

:10:19.:10:23.

tomorrow, in sheltered parts of Jersey, there could be up to 26

:10:24.:10:29.

Celsius. More of a breeze tomorrow if you are along the south or the

:10:30.:10:33.

east coast of Jersey there could be a little more breeze. But a

:10:34.:10:37.

pleasant`feeling day with the warm temperatures.

:10:38.:10:38.

The forecast tomorrow: Looking at the outlook. Into

:10:39.:11:09.

tomorrow night it clouds ovdr after the nice day. A risk of showers

:11:10.:11:13.

pushing in overnight Friday and first thing on Saturday. Fedling

:11:14.:11:19.

humid too. Once the showers pass through it will feel fresher. The

:11:20.:11:23.

temperatures down a little. Sunday mainly dry and bright with ` Rick of

:11:24.:11:27.

a shower on Monday. Thank you very much.

:11:28.:11:32.

That will do nicely! That is it for now. In a moment we are joining

:11:33.:11:35.

Spotlight at the Royal Cornwall Show. And the programme tomorrow

:11:36.:11:41.

night at 6. 30pm is later at 7. 0pm due to the D`Day coverage. Hope you

:11:42.:11:46.

can join us then. Goodbye.

:11:47.:12:02.

Time for the action of the first day of the Royal Cornwall Show.

:12:03.:12:11.

Welcome to Weybridge. Day one of Royal Cornwall Show has gotten off

:12:12.:12:16.

to a flying start. Every avdnue packed full of people and dhnosaurs.

:12:17.:12:20.

I think it has been one of the busiest starts to the Royal Cornwall

:12:21.:12:24.

Show I can remember in many years. Over tonight and tomorrow, on

:12:25.:12:33.

spotlight, we take you on a tour of this 100`acer showground. Today is

:12:34.:12:39.

lived up to the Royal billing with a special visitor. Everyone sdemed to

:12:40.:12:42.

enjoy the sunshine. As ever, there was lots to see and to do. We can

:12:43.:12:47.

show you a little of what is on offer.

:12:48.:12:50.

Andrea has been taking a look around. The Royal Cornwall Show in

:12:51.:12:59.

the sunshine... It's very nhce today. The weather is just right.

:13:00.:13:04.

We have been every year for the last five years. This is the best weather

:13:05.:13:09.

we have started with. We ard lucky there.

:13:10.:13:13.

Thousands of visitors turn tp for the biggest annual event of

:13:14.:13:18.

Cornwall. This, the 220th ydar. It is a great turnout for south

:13:19.:13:25.

Devon. Lovely to see a strong class of hers. Really pleased.

:13:26.:13:32.

I think it is an amazing spdctacle, showing everything that Cornwall is

:13:33.:13:37.

good of and they should be proud of. And a Royal visitor, the cotnt yes,

:13:38.:13:41.

sir of Wessex, with lots to see and a schedule to stick to.

:13:42.:13:49.

`` Countess of Wessex. Judging is tense and the he`t is on

:13:50.:14:15.

for the first prize. When they judge the sheep they will

:14:16.:14:21.

just do that... It is nice hf it falls easy. Tomorrow he is to be

:14:22.:14:26.

shown against the Royal Cornwall winner and the Bath and the West

:14:27.:14:30.

winner. As ever, the animals are thd stars

:14:31.:14:34.

of the show with some playing up to the camera. So day one has been

:14:35.:14:38.

blessed with sun. Just two lore days to go.

:14:39.:14:58.

A very public face there for the Royal Cornwall Show. Behind the

:14:59.:15:05.

scenes farming is a 24/7 job. We are at the cattle ring a popular draw

:15:06.:15:09.

for the crowds. Look at how many are here watching the best anim`ls in

:15:10.:15:16.

show. Yet when the animals `re in show, the norm farm life dust

:15:17.:15:22.

continue, that means that the cows must being milked! There ard about

:15:23.:15:27.

80 dairy cows being shown over the next three days.

:15:28.:15:30.

Cows are judged when they are as full of milk as possible. The way

:15:31.:15:34.

that the udder looks is what the judges are looking for, or one of

:15:35.:15:38.

them so, the timing of the lilking is crucial. This is one of the first

:15:39.:15:46.

breed champions of the day. It is a Cornish`bred Guernsey. Minutes later

:15:47.:15:50.

she is in the milking particle your next door to the cattle shed.

:15:51.:15:56.

We have the particle your open 4 hours a day with staff covering it

:15:57.:16:01.

in eight`hour shifts. What happens to the milk? It is used for the

:16:02.:16:05.

supermarkets. So you could have champion's milk in

:16:06.:16:12.

your cuppa! For the dairy f`rmers it is a five`day show, so the girls are

:16:13.:16:18.

in and out of the milking p`rticle your a few times over the ndxt few

:16:19.:16:25.

days. We have been to see some cows that

:16:26.:16:34.

take themselves to be milked! This is robotic milking. The cows walk in

:16:35.:16:40.

when they are hungry. The m`chine does the cleaning, fits the cups

:16:41.:16:48.

with a 3D laser camera, milks the teets and then steam`cleans itself.

:16:49.:16:53.

But kit like this costs abott ?100,000. But the farmer saxs that

:16:54.:16:57.

his happier cows are produchng more milk.

:16:58.:17:02.

Old style you are pushing them in, stood in the back of a colldcting

:17:03.:17:07.

yard, here they can come whdn they want it is more quiet, relaxed. If a

:17:08.:17:12.

cow is relaxed you produce lore milk. They don't want to be

:17:13.:17:15.

stressed. This machine is called an Astro

:17:16.:17:22.

haute. A giant leap for farling kind? It remains to be seen. But

:17:23.:17:28.

traditional farmers are sayhng it is the way forward.

:17:29.:17:32.

What I love about the Royal Cornwall Show it is the friendly atmosphere

:17:33.:17:33.

here. Whatever avenue you w`lk celebrate than at the Royal Cornwall

:17:34.:18:14.

Show where in 19`27 they met at a young farmer's dance.

:18:15.:18:19.

One of my friends wanted to dance with an other friend. When they

:18:20.:18:24.

parted, Charles said, I will take the one with glasses, so th`t was

:18:25.:18:25.

it. We were again. I am still chewing on that.

:18:26.:19:46.

You are married? Yes, and lhving in England! So, what advice can the

:19:47.:19:52.

Kessels give to the Smiths to are a happy marriage? Always kiss at the

:19:53.:19:59.

end of a night, whatever thd day has brought and just carry on. That is

:20:00.:20:05.

it, yes. A quick kiss for the Missus Yes!

:20:06.:20:10.

The romantic side of the Roxal Cornwall Show. Earlier we wdnt to

:20:11.:20:14.

watch preparations for a rather unusual contest. On the one hand

:20:15.:20:19.

there was horse power, on the other manpower. It was the Cornish pirates

:20:20.:20:26.

versus George the Shire horse. That may sound uneven, numberswise but

:20:27.:20:30.

believe me, George can hold his own. As it was a competition we had to

:20:31.:20:37.

choose which side to support. Natalie chose the horse, just yawned

:20:38.:20:42.

I were cheering for the Cornish Pirates.

:20:43.:20:47.

You would think there would be no contest. This manpower against one

:20:48.:20:50.

horse power. So here is the boy taking on the

:20:51.:20:55.

Pirates. Who is this? This hs George. A seven`year`old Shhre

:20:56.:21:00.

stallion. His birthday was on Tuesday.

:21:01.:21:04.

Happy birthday, George... I am giving it a go. This is the only

:21:05.:21:09.

time I will ever get to trahn with the Cornish Pirates.

:21:10.:21:15.

Can I give you a brush, George? He is lovely and shiny.

:21:16.:21:27.

He is so placid for someone so strong.

:21:28.:21:30.

A beautiful boy. It is too early in the mornhng for

:21:31.:21:34.

this. If you hear a crack, just call the ambulance.

:21:35.:21:42.

Is that OK? George, we did ht, darling! Is that lower? Lowdr?

:21:43.:21:49.

After my recent illness, I `m not so sure this is a good idea.

:21:50.:21:58.

You look like you are suffering He has a pulling capacity of anywhere

:21:59.:22:04.

between five and seven tonnds. Apparently the horse weighs a tonne

:22:05.:22:08.

and it can pull seven tonnes. How much do this lot weigh? Two

:22:09.:22:16.

tons? We have not got a hopd in hell! Now, George, just pull,

:22:17.:22:22.

really, really hard. We have a secret weapon.

:22:23.:22:46.

It is over to you. Wasn't he brilliant? Fantastic. You

:22:47.:22:51.

can find out what happened tomorrow here on Spotlight. OK, it is time

:22:52.:22:54.

for the weather. Obviously David is here. How is it

:22:55.:22:59.

looking? We have done well today. Before I go into the forecast, for

:23:00.:23:04.

the shao showground here. Ldt me show you what we saw earlier. We did

:23:05.:23:10.

not see it but a drone went up above the showground before it opdned We

:23:11.:23:16.

got some great shots of the blue skies and how large the showground

:23:17.:23:20.

is. Much of the morning there was sunshine. Then the cloud crdpt in.

:23:21.:23:24.

It has not spoiled the day `nd the temperatures have been just about

:23:25.:23:29.

right. Let's start with the detaildd

:23:30.:23:34.

forecast for the Royal Cornwall Show:

:23:35.:23:36.

It looks like it could be a warm day tomorrow. Temperatures up to 19

:23:37.:23:44.

Celsius. Showers in the morning but the sunshine back out in thd

:23:45.:23:49.

afternoon. A greater risk of seeing showers develop by Saturday, of

:23:50.:23:54.

course the last day. From the satellite picture there is the cloud

:23:55.:23:59.

developing in the Atlantic. That is the area of low pressure we are

:24:00.:24:03.

watching. It is creeping towards us. By the middle of the day tolorrow,

:24:04.:24:09.

it is just a little closer. By lunch time on Saturday, there is ` weather

:24:10.:24:15.

front to introdoes heavy and possibly thundery showers.

:24:16.:24:19.

Here is the extent of the cloud we have seen today. It has built up a

:24:20.:24:24.

little bit. We have seen ond or two light showers. Not many of those for

:24:25.:24:30.

us, for most of the south`wdst of England a dry and fine day.

:24:31.:24:34.

Overnight, we will see more cloud coming in from the south`west. A bit

:24:35.:24:39.

of that cloud is arriving hdre in this part of Cornwall. Spre`ding

:24:40.:24:45.

over Cornwall and Devon and producing some light spots of rain.

:24:46.:24:52.

Also cloudy with spots of r`in through much of Cornwall and Devon.

:24:53.:25:01.

Temperatures no lower than nine or ten Celsius.

:25:02.:25:05.

Tomorrow, things get better, we see more in the way of sunshine. A much

:25:06.:25:10.

warmer day. The winds from the south or the south`east. Increasing

:25:11.:25:16.

through the day. They could bring warmth and sunshine for Dorset and

:25:17.:25:21.

Somerset with some of the hhghest temperatures here. Up to possibly 21

:25:22.:25:25.

Celsius. To the west, the more cloud we are

:25:26.:25:31.

likely to see. Now the forecast for the Isles of Scilly:

:25:32.:26:24.

An update for you at the sale time tomorrow.

:26:25.:26:29.

That is it for the first dax of the Royal Cornwall Show. There hs lots
