the tariffs but it is about encouraging the use of the network

:00:28.:00:29.

not penalising people to use it. Plus ` we're live in Glasgow

:00:30.:00:31.

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.

Later in Spotlight with Justin and Rebecca:

Feathered foes ` find out how one town is tackling

:04:07.:04:09.

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.
