as our athletes gear up for the I am in Glasgow as the countdown to | :00:32. | :00:42. | |
the start of the Commonwealth Games gets well underway. I will have the | :00:43. | :00:47. | |
latest on how athletes are preparing late in the programme. | :00:48. | :00:57. | |
Channel Islanders will soon have access to a super`fast | :00:58. | :01:01. | |
The competition regulator has today issued licences for JT, Sure and | :01:02. | :01:06. | |
Airtel to offer what is known as a 4G service ` supposedly much faster | :01:07. | :01:09. | |
In just over a decade, our lives are truly lived | :01:10. | :01:19. | |
And now technology is moving on again. | :01:20. | :01:24. | |
When most of us got a mobile phone we were using 2G enabling us to make | :01:25. | :01:30. | |
calls and send texts as well as very slow internet access. | :01:31. | :01:33. | |
Then came along 3G which we use now, bringing faster internet | :01:34. | :01:36. | |
But soon 4G will be here, allowing users to surf the web up to | :01:37. | :01:41. | |
I like many others would be lost without my phone, | :01:42. | :01:49. | |
I use it for emails, surfing the web, texting and even video calls. | :01:50. | :02:02. | |
With 4G on the way we promised it will be able to do more. Graham, is | :02:03. | :02:13. | |
4G really necessary? Guess it is. We are seeing a rise in people using | :02:14. | :02:18. | |
data on 3G phones and we are getting to the point where the 3G network is | :02:19. | :02:23. | |
getting congested and we need to move to 4G. Will people need to buy | :02:24. | :02:35. | |
a new floor `` phone to access 4G? Most of the latest models of 4G | :02:36. | :02:41. | |
compliant. Other people will have to upgrade if they want to act `` | :02:42. | :02:44. | |
access the services. That's the benefits | :02:45. | :02:50. | |
of 4G covered but it's going to cost the companies offering it millions | :02:51. | :02:54. | |
of pounds, so will It is about enabling them to use | :02:55. | :03:07. | |
their net like that that `` network not penalising them for using it. | :03:08. | :03:14. | |
Jersey Police say they're prepared for criticism over how they handled | :03:15. | :03:16. | |
On the second day of the care inquiry, the Force's lawyer said the | :03:17. | :03:22. | |
service wouldn't be defensive if failings were identified in their | :03:23. | :03:25. | |
Robert MacRae said they were fully committed to learning | :03:26. | :03:29. | |
Seven men have been arrested in Jersey on suspicion of possession | :03:30. | :03:40. | |
They're aged between 17 and 22 and were found with cannabis | :03:41. | :03:45. | |
of a believed street value of around 18 to ?20,000. | :03:46. | :03:47. | |
The men were arrested last night following a long police operation. | :03:48. | :03:50. | |
The Channel Islands have experienced another earth tremor at | :03:51. | :03:52. | |
around 5.30 this afternoon It was a similar magnitude to the tremor | :03:53. | :03:55. | |
two weeks ago but it didn't feel as strong because it was further away. | :03:56. | :03:58. | |
It was a magnitude 4, 16 miles off the south west coast of Jersey. | :03:59. | :04:01. | |
You're watching the BBC in the Channel Islands. | :04:02. | :04:04. | |

Millions of people are expected to tune into the Opening Ceremony | :04:10. | :04:16. | |
of the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow tonight. | :04:17. | :04:19. | |
38 athletes from Guernsey and 40 from Jersey are preparing for action | :04:20. | :04:24. | |
` as is Edward Sault, who is on the banks of the Clyde for us now. | :04:25. | :04:28. | |
Ed how is the excitement is building? | :04:29. | :04:38. | |
Very good evening to you. Welcome to Glasgow. Behind me you can see the | :04:39. | :04:47. | |
Hydro which will host the gymnastics, boxing, judo and | :04:48. | :04:52. | |
weightlifting. The city really is buzzing with excitement. It is | :04:53. | :04:58. | |
infectious. They are very proud that Glasgow is hosting the Commonwealth | :04:59. | :05:03. | |
Games. In a moment we will have more on how our Channel Islands athletes | :05:04. | :05:08. | |
are going to be competing. Emma Chambers has been out soaking up the | :05:09. | :05:13. | |
atmosphere and the sunshine and finding out what jersey can learn | :05:14. | :05:17. | |
from Glasgow as it prepares to host the Island games next year. This is | :05:18. | :05:24. | |
the centre of Glasgow. The games haven't even started yet but it is | :05:25. | :05:29. | |
already buzzing. Locals and visitors and athletes are queueing up to have | :05:30. | :05:35. | |
their photo with the big stand. Joining me now is Liz Buchanan from | :05:36. | :05:41. | |
visit Scotland. How many people are you expecting? We are expecting to | :05:42. | :05:46. | |
have 1 million visitors coming to the city to enjoyed a sporting | :05:47. | :05:50. | |
events. What is going on in the city for people to embrace the games? | :05:51. | :05:55. | |
Apart from the sporting events which there are many, we have also got | :05:56. | :06:03. | |
2014 which is happening around the same time and that is an extension | :06:04. | :06:07. | |
of a year`long festival that has been going around Scotland. Jilly is | :06:08. | :06:12. | |
hosting the Island games next year and there will be 1000 fewer | :06:13. | :06:17. | |
athletes then there will be at the Commonwealth Games. What can jersey | :06:18. | :06:23. | |
do to stand out? Enjoy it, get everybody involved. It is not just | :06:24. | :06:28. | |
about the public sector or the accommodation, it is about the | :06:29. | :06:34. | |
people as well and they will often take away a memory. I know the | :06:35. | :06:42. | |
importance of the Island games and the importance of everybody getting | :06:43. | :06:46. | |
involved. Good luck for the next two weeks. The slogan here is people | :06:47. | :06:57. | |
make Glasgow and it is a place that lots of people will be watching. Our | :06:58. | :07:05. | |
athletes are in Glasgow and I have been to meet some of them. Welcome | :07:06. | :07:13. | |
to Glasgow. Glasgow was getting ready to put on a show. The streets | :07:14. | :07:17. | |
of the city and the athletes village are alive to welcome 4000 | :07:18. | :08:46. | |
the flag. `` Chris Simpson. It is a bit nerve wracking because I have | :08:47. | :08:49. | |
been told 1 billion people will be watching. I hope I don't do anything | :08:50. | :08:54. | |
wrong. It is very exciting and a very proud moment for me. Steve has | :08:55. | :09:00. | |
the honour of being jersey's flag bearer, a proud moment as they step | :09:01. | :09:03. | |
out onto the international stage. Coverage of the opening ceremony | :09:04. | :09:16. | |
starts at 8 here on BBC One. Then the real sporting | :09:17. | :09:18. | |
action starts tomorrow. Chris Simpson swaps the Guernsey | :09:19. | :09:21. | |
flag for his squash racket. Our swimmers will be | :09:22. | :09:24. | |
in the water for their heats tomorrow morning also | :09:25. | :09:29. | |
in the water, on their bikes and running will be Daniel Halksworth | :09:30. | :09:32. | |
and Tom Perchard in the Triathalon. We've got a fantastic ten days | :09:33. | :09:35. | |
of sport to look forward to Time to see what the weather will be | :09:36. | :09:42. | |
like in Glasgow and back home. Everything is going right for the | :09:43. | :10:03. | |
opening ceremony and it looks set fair. There is a gentle easterly | :10:04. | :10:09. | |
breeze as Glasgow and it looks like the weather stays that way as we | :10:10. | :10:13. | |
move through the evening. There is a small chance of a shower turning up | :10:14. | :10:17. | |
late at night but I don't think there will be many of those. For us, | :10:18. | :10:23. | |
it is a dry story. Slightly more of a breeze in the afternoon into the | :10:24. | :10:26. | |
early evening and it may help make it feel cooler. Most of the activity | :10:27. | :10:33. | |
has been to the west of Ireland and it doesn't change. There is some | :10:34. | :10:37. | |
activity across parts of France and it is here that if you look East, | :10:38. | :10:41. | |
you may see some cloud building over Normandy. By the middle of the day | :10:42. | :10:50. | |
tomorrow, there is the risk of a shower. As we move into Friday, that | :10:51. | :10:56. | |
risk remains along the French coast rather than across the islands. Let | :10:57. | :11:01. | |
us look at the detail. There is clear sky and there is not too much | :11:02. | :11:07. | |
in the way of mist with temperatures no lower than 17 Celsius. It may be | :11:08. | :11:13. | |
that we see more cloud at times through the night but it will not | :11:14. | :11:21. | |
spoil a clear night. Realistically, it is another lovely start of the | :11:22. | :11:25. | |
day tomorrow and another day with plenty of warm sunshine. There is | :11:26. | :11:27. | |
some cloud appearing in the distance. The breeze is freshening | :11:28. | :11:35. | |
giving temperatures of 22 Celsius. That is the forecast for the coastal | :11:36. | :11:37. | |
waters. Edward salt will be reporting from | :11:38. | :12:00. | |
Glasgow tomorrow but tonight, our late news is on later because of the | :12:01. | :12:02. | |
Commonwealth Games. How would you spend nearly | :12:03. | :12:09. | |
a quarter of a million pounds? That's the enviable position | :12:10. | :12:21. | |
these night shift workers find themselves in after winning | :12:22. | :12:23. | |
almost ?4 million on the lottery. Well, we've been doing our sums and | :12:24. | :12:26. | |
we reckon they could buy themselves 100,000 pasties, or almost 50,000 | :12:27. | :12:29. | |
cream teas, or maybe just under you could buy back | :12:30. | :12:33. | |
Plymouth Argyle's captain. So how will members of the syndicate | :12:34. | :12:44. | |
at a branch of Tesco in Plymouth be spending their winnings? | :12:45. | :12:47. | |
Scott Bingham has been to meet them. The odds certainly stacked up | :12:48. | :13:04. | |
through this bunch of bubbly supermarket workers from Plymouth. | :13:05. | :13:09. | |
The 15 strong syndicate, also including three men and three other | :13:10. | :13:13. | |
women who decided not to go public, checked out with a jackpot of just | :13:14. | :13:18. | |
under ?3.7 million. It was especially emotional for the | :13:19. | :13:23. | |
syndicate leader, who lost her husband David to cancer earlier this | :13:24. | :13:29. | |
year. My first thought was of my husband, and that he is not here | :13:30. | :13:33. | |
with me to enjoy it. But he has done this for me. He had a little word | :13:34. | :13:36. | |
with the Lord above and said let's do something. He is watching over | :13:37. | :13:44. | |
me. What will they do with their share of just over ?250,000 each. I | :13:45. | :13:55. | |
want to pay my mortgage. What about you guys? I do not know. Get a | :13:56. | :14:09. | |
bungalow for my mum. Most of the group has voted to carry on stacking | :14:10. | :14:14. | |
shelves at the supermarket. The atmosphere in the staff room, when | :14:15. | :14:19. | |
we are on our break, laughing all the time. It is nice to enjoy | :14:20. | :14:27. | |
people's company like that. We do joke. The next time your late`night | :14:28. | :14:35. | |
shopping, the smiles may not just be because they love their job so much. | :14:36. | :14:47. | |
What a lovely group! Enjoy your winnings. | :14:48. | :14:49. | |
Former war correspondent Kate Adie officially opened a new | :14:50. | :14:52. | |
World War One trench exhibition in Dorset today. | :14:53. | :14:53. | |
The Keep Military Museum in Dorchester built the bunker | :14:54. | :14:56. | |
with money from a Heritage Lottery grant. | :14:57. | :14:57. | |
The exhibition will change as the centenary of the war passes | :14:58. | :15:00. | |
Spotlight's Andrea Ormsby has been to have a look. | :15:01. | :15:09. | |
100 years since the start of the Great War. History brought alive | :15:10. | :15:16. | |
here at the Keep Military Museum in Dorchester. This is not a sprint, it | :15:17. | :15:23. | |
is a marathon. This will change dramatically over the next four | :15:24. | :15:25. | |
years, it will reflect what was going on in the war. At the moment | :15:26. | :15:30. | |
we're looking at 1914, the early battles, we will go on through | :15:31. | :15:36. | |
Gallipoli in 1915, the Battle of the Somme in 1916, up to the armistice | :15:37. | :15:41. | |
in 1918. To tell the stories of Devon and such soldiers. With a | :15:42. | :15:47. | |
sword used in the First World War, Kate Adie did the honours. I declare | :15:48. | :15:59. | |
the exhibition open! Met would have come `` men would have come in their | :16:00. | :16:03. | |
thousands to enlist. They would have been outside queueing. Women beyond | :16:04. | :16:07. | |
them would have been going, where are they going? What is going to | :16:08. | :16:12. | |
happen, probably cheering them on. There was extraordinary enthusiasm | :16:13. | :16:17. | |
in those early days. They passed through military buildings here. And | :16:18. | :16:20. | |
here is the story of what happened. 8000 of them did not come back. It | :16:21. | :16:25. | |
does matter. It brings history home, write to our own homes here in | :16:26. | :16:32. | |
this area. As part of the exhibition, letters from local | :16:33. | :16:38. | |
soldiers to their sweethearts. I suppose it is all settled for us to | :16:39. | :16:42. | |
go to war. But still I can go with a good heart knowing that I have left | :16:43. | :16:46. | |
someone behind who will pray and think of me. This woman find this | :16:47. | :16:56. | |
letter to her and after she died. She had kept them all those years. I | :16:57. | :17:01. | |
just felt they had to go somewhere so I brought them in. I am very | :17:02. | :17:09. | |
surprised how it has all turned out. I think this will be this time. I | :17:10. | :17:17. | |
remain yours until death. He was killed shortly afterwards, one of | :17:18. | :17:18. | |
the first deaths of The Great War. has arrived at Newquay Zoo | :17:19. | :17:24. | |
all the way from Vietnam. will be taking part in a globally | :17:25. | :17:32. | |
important breeding programme. The animals are hunted | :17:33. | :17:35. | |
for their meat in Vietnam ` After travelling more than 6000 | :17:36. | :17:50. | |
miles from his native Vietnam, Bao arrived in Cornwall fast asleep. | :17:51. | :17:55. | |
Newquay Zoo will be his home for the foreseeable future, where it is | :17:56. | :17:57. | |
hoped he will breed with others already here. It is important | :17:58. | :18:02. | |
because the species is considered vulnerable to extinction. They are | :18:03. | :18:07. | |
quite rare in the wild because of deforestation and bushmen trade over | :18:08. | :18:12. | |
there, illegal hunting. They are very scarce. We are trying to rescue | :18:13. | :18:19. | |
and rehabilitate them. This animal is bread in a national park in | :18:20. | :18:24. | |
Vietnam, and they are coming over here. He has come over here to | :18:25. | :18:30. | |
increase the gene pool of them being kept in captivity. He will be kept | :18:31. | :18:36. | |
in quarantine for four months. Newquay Zoo has been coordinating | :18:37. | :18:38. | |
the breeding programme here in the UK. But protecting the species | :18:39. | :18:42. | |
relies on more than increasing numbers. Work is going on in Vietnam | :18:43. | :18:47. | |
that might one day enable these to be returned to the wild. The centre | :18:48. | :18:52. | |
we run over there is not only for breeding animals and letting them | :18:53. | :18:56. | |
out into the wild, but it is also educational. Hopefully it will | :18:57. | :19:01. | |
encourage the indigenous people to look after their own wildlife. The | :19:02. | :19:07. | |
mammals are making good progress. The population is this a zoo is | :19:08. | :19:08. | |
slowly climbing. `` at this zoo. Now with temperatures in the | :19:09. | :19:16. | |
upper 70s you could easily imagine yourself in the south west | :19:17. | :19:18. | |
of France rather than England. Well, it's not only us humans | :19:19. | :19:22. | |
basking in the sunshine this week. In Dorset some unusual fruits | :19:23. | :19:25. | |
have made a rare appearance ` A fruit from the Far East growing in | :19:26. | :19:46. | |
Dorset. It is this, a loquat. Thanks to the warm summer, something more | :19:47. | :19:49. | |
than just leaves and flowers are growing. It is a citrus fruit about | :19:50. | :19:57. | |
the size of a golf ball. It grows throughout Egypt through to | :19:58. | :20:04. | |
Palestine and Afghanistan. Very rarely do you see it set foot in | :20:05. | :20:11. | |
this country. Planting at the garden started in 1765. The weather has | :20:12. | :20:14. | |
produced quite a few highlights to go with the loquat. You have got the | :20:15. | :20:26. | |
valley with the rhododendrons. That fades out, then you have the | :20:27. | :20:29. | |
Victorian garden with borders and grasses. Subtropical planting. By | :20:30. | :20:37. | |
late summer, you have got what we called the jungle, bananas, its | :20:38. | :20:45. | |
transports you to another world. It is not only unusual fruit enjoying | :20:46. | :20:48. | |
the subtropical sunshine in Dorset. The kookaburras are flourishing as | :20:49. | :20:55. | |
well. We have built a free flying area. 15 years, we have had them. | :20:56. | :21:03. | |
The sound of the laughing kookaburra echoes through the valley and | :21:04. | :21:08. | |
transports you into another world. It has been the warmest week of the | :21:09. | :21:12. | |
year so far, unusual for this garden. | :21:13. | :21:17. | |
They've long been seen as both a symbol of the seaside | :21:18. | :21:20. | |
and the curse of those enjoying an outside plate of chips. | :21:21. | :21:23. | |
across our coastal towns and villages. | :21:24. | :21:25. | |
Over the years Spotlight has reported on | :21:26. | :21:27. | |
many different approaches to tackling the problem. | :21:28. | :21:29. | |
And today Plymouth City Council joined the fray. | :21:30. | :21:31. | |
John Henderson joins us from the city's Barbican. | :21:32. | :21:40. | |
A lovely evening down here. They are is one of the birds in question, | :21:41. | :21:48. | |
quite big, aren't they? It is feared to say that we are undoubtedly a | :21:49. | :21:53. | |
continental cafe culture in this part of the world. We love to sit | :21:54. | :21:57. | |
outside eating and drinking full top but there is a risk with that, and | :21:58. | :22:01. | |
today Plymouth City Council decided it is time to get tough and act. | :22:02. | :22:09. | |
Seagulls. For those enjoying a snack and the sun, they are a pest. The | :22:10. | :22:15. | |
seagulls drink out of my copy cup and everything. They try to pack | :22:16. | :22:21. | |
food off the table. They grabbed food out of people's hands! They are | :22:22. | :22:27. | |
disgusting creatures. Such is the problem in Plymouth, the City | :22:28. | :22:32. | |
Council is taking action. If we can remove the food sooner than later, | :22:33. | :22:40. | |
that will deter the seagulls. Also, replacing eggs with false eggs. So | :22:41. | :22:46. | |
that they do not hatch. Eventually the seagulls will move onto another | :22:47. | :22:51. | |
area where can breed. Cafes in the city are a common target for these | :22:52. | :22:57. | |
herring gulls. Trying to clear up the leftovers before the birds do is | :22:58. | :23:01. | |
important. We do a lot to keep the tables free from the birds trying to | :23:02. | :23:08. | |
swoop down. But it will draw attention to the fact that there is | :23:09. | :23:12. | |
a problem, an obvious problem in the city. For new visitors coming into | :23:13. | :23:19. | |
the city, they need to be made aware of the fact that there is an issue | :23:20. | :23:24. | |
with seagulls when they are eating outside. That will only help | :23:25. | :23:28. | |
matters. The campaign asks people not to feed the birds or drop | :23:29. | :23:33. | |
litter, especially food. The problem is worse between April and August | :23:34. | :23:38. | |
when the goals have chicks to protect and more people are eating | :23:39. | :23:44. | |
outside. So far no problems down here with | :23:45. | :23:47. | |
seagulls this evening, but the City Council is also planning to bring in | :23:48. | :23:52. | |
birds of prey to deal with what it thinks is a serious problem. I am | :23:53. | :23:57. | |
joined by the owners of this cafe. How big a problem are seagulls in | :23:58. | :24:02. | |
this part? In the summer they are quite a big problem, if people did | :24:03. | :24:06. | |
not feed them they would be much less of a problem. Adrian, what do | :24:07. | :24:13. | |
you think? Is it heavy`handed thinking about finding people to | :24:14. | :24:17. | |
feed the seagulls? It seems a bit over the top to me. I would favour | :24:18. | :24:21. | |
signs urging people not to feed them. Occasionally we do get | :24:22. | :24:25. | |
problems with people feeding them. If you do not feed them there is no | :24:26. | :24:30. | |
problem. We will leave you to it, it is a lovely evening down here, and | :24:31. | :24:34. | |
so far no dive`bombing from the seagulls. | :24:35. | :24:38. | |
Thank you very much indeed, John. A scorcher again today. It has been | :24:39. | :24:45. | |
even hotter today. The heat stays with us. Slightly | :24:46. | :24:55. | |
cooler Celtic Park in Glasgow for the start of the Commonwealth Games. | :24:56. | :25:02. | |
Clear blue skies, 20 degrees. It is a lovely evening to enjoy that. We | :25:03. | :25:05. | |
have got that on BBC television as well. The close of the western side | :25:06. | :25:09. | |
of Ireland is not worth worrying about `` that line of cloud. We see | :25:10. | :25:18. | |
showers develop overnight tonight, some of them around tomorrow, just | :25:19. | :25:24. | |
for one day. By the time we get to Friday, high pressure comes back. | :25:25. | :25:30. | |
Plenty of showers across the near continent, largely dry for us. A | :25:31. | :25:35. | |
little bit of colour appearing across Gloucestershire and | :25:36. | :25:37. | |
Wiltshire. Showers that are moving towards us overnight. This is the | :25:38. | :25:43. | |
fine weather we have seen today, we had glorious blue skies. More cloud | :25:44. | :25:48. | |
around, appearing through the afternoon. Very little in the way of | :25:49. | :25:56. | |
breeze, it has been a very warm day. Described as hot for most of us. The | :25:57. | :26:00. | |
best place to be, in the water, staying cool. For the next couple of | :26:01. | :26:07. | |
days, a small risk of showers, cloud bubbling up in the distance could be | :26:08. | :26:14. | |
the cloud we develop over the next 24 hours. Some of that will come | :26:15. | :26:20. | |
overnight, the odd rumble of thunder possible tonight. Most of us try a | :26:21. | :26:26. | |
clear skies, another warm night as well, overnight temperatures of 17, | :26:27. | :26:31. | |
18 degrees. Tomorrow, the risk of a few showers moving through Cornwall. | :26:32. | :26:36. | |
In the afternoon, showers developing across parts of Devon especially. | :26:37. | :26:42. | |
One or two of those could be thundery. They are very isolated, | :26:43. | :26:48. | |
for most of us tomorrow it is another dry, fine and warm day. 25, | :26:49. | :26:54. | |
28 degrees tomorrow. Showers turning up in the Isles of Scilly after | :26:55. | :27:00. | |
lunch time. Times of high water, up to about one foot for most of the | :27:01. | :27:08. | |
beaches. The outlook is for us to remain dry and warm as we head into | :27:09. | :27:15. | |
the weekend. The chance perhaps the show. Have a good evening. | :27:16. | :27:21. | |
The late news is that 11:25pm after the opening ceremony of the | :27:22. | :27:28. | |
Commonwealth Games on BBC One. We are back with you at 6:30am tomorrow | :27:29. | :27:31. | |
morning. Good night. | :27:32. | :27:36. |
