Through Sunday and inch or two inches of rain, gales are posqible

:00:00.:00:14.

What they do here is close to my heart and something that I think

:00:15.:00:41.

needs more attention. We'll also ask if the end is nigh

:00:42.:00:48.

for the good old book, And all the weather details, later

in the programme. A 29`year`old man has died

of a Jersey charity. Henry Cavill has just been `nnounced

as an ambassador for And visitors to the park got quite

:03:09.:03:10.

a surprise when he paid Edward Sault caught up with him

there. He's the boy

from Jersey that became supdrman Henry Cavill may be the star

:03:29.:03:30.

of the most recent Superman film, but he's never lost his roots to

:03:31.:03:35.

the island he calls home. Henry has been at Durrell Whldlife

:03:36.:03:41.

in Jersey with a super misshon. He's a new ambassador for the trust,

:03:42.:03:48.

to spread the word of its programme to stop the extinction

:03:49.:03:51.

of animals around the planet. I came here as a boy. What they do

:03:52.:04:05.

here is close to my heart and something that I think needs more

:04:06.:04:12.

attention. You have been fedding the guerrillas today, what was that

:04:13.:04:18.

like? I have learned a lot `bout the social groups of them. They are

:04:19.:04:21.

absolutely fantastic creatures, as you can see behind us. Part of being

:04:22.:04:27.

an ambassador is guerrilla `doption. Tommy more about that. People can

:04:28.:04:32.

make a contribution to the conservation effort and thex get to

:04:33.:04:38.

adopt one of our beautiful girl is here. `` guerrillas here. Hd is

:04:39.:04:49.

funding an adoption that people can do. You can adopt not just one, but

:04:50.:04:55.

a whole family, and that will generate interest in the trtst and I

:04:56.:05:01.

hope more and more people whll come and because of what we are doing.

:05:02.:05:07.

And as he feeds the gorillas, who have strength that could give

:05:08.:05:10.

Superman a run for his monex, he has another mission to gdt people

:05:11.:05:13.

from the Channel Islands and aroudn the world to adopt them.

:05:14.:05:16.

And for the bosses at Durrell, having Henry

:05:17.:05:17.

Henry has taken a break frol filming his new Batman vs Superman lovie

:05:18.:05:22.

that stars fellow Hollywood actor Ben Affleck, and whilst he couldn?t

:05:23.:05:25.

say whether we'd see a premher like we did in Jersey for Man of Steel

:05:26.:05:28.

last year, he said it was nice to come home.

:05:29.:05:30.

Those in charge your hope that this endorsement will give them super

:05:31.:05:36.

support for years to come. One of the Channel Islands' oldest

:05:37.:05:40.

libraries is turning a new leaf and embracing technology in

:05:41.:05:43.

a bid to get more people re`ding. The Geel Orlay library is now

:05:44.:05:46.

offering electronic books to They're free,

:05:47.:05:48.

can be downloaded from anywhere with an internet connection,

:05:49.:05:51.

and incur no late return feds. So, could this be the end

:05:52.:05:53.

of people going to the libr`ry? It's difficult to tell what

:05:54.:05:55.

the founders of this librarx would Yes,

:05:56.:05:59.

there are books as there were almost 130 years ago, when Thomas Guille

:06:00.:06:02.

and Frederick Alles opened ht. But now the internet and personal

:06:03.:06:05.

devices have changed the wax many So much so that the library is now

:06:06.:06:07.

offering electronic books, Any member can search for a book

:06:08.:06:16.

on the library website and download So, are library uses interested

:06:17.:06:21.

in ebooks? I was definitely think about it We

:06:22.:06:35.

have to always be looking ahead we cannot just stay in a rut whth what

:06:36.:06:42.

we have always done. I suppose it is much easier. It takes all the stress

:06:43.:06:47.

and inconvenience the book. I think it would be marvelous, very useful

:06:48.:07:00.

for us. Could this mean less people coming to the library and the first

:07:01.:07:07.

place to take out physical books? It is a new technology, and thdn that

:07:08.:07:12.

becomes available to people, people get worried it will wipe out other

:07:13.:07:17.

things. We have 17,000 membdrs, we have about 900 loans of physical

:07:18.:07:24.

books at day, I do not think this service is going to overtakd that. I

:07:25.:07:28.

see it as an addition to wh`t we are offering people.

:07:29.:07:30.

This library steeped in history is turning a new leaf,

:07:31.:07:33.

and with the help of technology it may just get more people re`ding.

:07:34.:07:39.

Now to one of the wackier events of Alderney Week,

:07:40.:07:41.

Every year, islanders construct ever more

:07:42.:07:44.

ambitious flying machines, `nd hurl themselves off the Inner Harbour

:07:45.:07:46.

:08:57.:08:58.

some imaginative entries. But there could only be one winner,

:09:21.:09:23.

it. Tomorrow, it's the turn

:09:24.:09:25.

of the mariners to get wet hn Because of the bad weather forecast

:09:26.:09:27.

for this Sunday, all open air events at Alderney

:09:28.:09:38.

Week, such as Music in the Sun on the Butes, as well as thd Wild

:09:39.:09:41.

Hogs Parade, have been cancdlled. Let's get some more details about

:09:42.:09:56.

the weather. So far, it has been pretty kind to us across thd

:09:57.:10:00.

islands. This weekend, the first proper spell of wet and windy

:10:01.:10:05.

weather heading our way. Quhte heavy rain on Sunday and also feeling

:10:06.:10:10.

colder because of it. At thd moment, there is a great splash of wet

:10:11.:10:14.

weather coming up from the south, that will move away from us

:10:15.:10:20.

overnight. In your area of low pressure out here the Atlantic. `` a

:10:21.:10:29.

new area. Sunday is the worst day. We will see strong winds and

:10:30.:10:33.

outbreaks of quite heavy rahn, particularly earlier in the day and

:10:34.:10:38.

it coincides with high tides, and you can find out more by st`ying

:10:39.:10:44.

tuned to your BBC lookee at `` local radio station. Let's focus on the

:10:45.:10:48.

rain we have this evening. Ht is steadily moving away from us and it

:10:49.:10:55.

will become night apart frol a few showers coming in from

:10:56.:10:58.

Overnight temperatures dipphng down as low as 14 or 15 degrees. Tomorrow

:10:59.:11:03.

is mainly dry with a shower every now and then. Just a few showers

:11:04.:11:07.

heading towards Guernsey brhefly, and the rest of the day is largely

:11:08.:11:15.

dry. Increasing levels of clouds. 20 degrees at the top temperattre.

:11:16.:11:17.

Times of high water... The surf is going to pick up this

:11:18.:11:33.

weekend to three feet and choppy for most of the weekend. Sunday is going

:11:34.:11:38.

to be quite windy and wet and strong winds veering northwesterly. There

:11:39.:11:44.

will be a few showers... Next week and the winds will remain strong.

19, possibly 20 the top temperature, feeling colder than that because of

:11:51.:11:52.

the wind. Just before we go, a look at the

:11:53.:11:55.

winning number in the Jersex Hospice I think they'll be

:11:56.:11:58.

happy staying there. just going It's like going away

:11:59.:13:04.

on an expensive holiday from the Championship and now we are

:13:05.:13:06.

back home in the First Division and we like to go back to that

:13:07.:13:10.

holiday destination again sometime. If we can, we hope to go back

:13:11.:13:13.

there with a stronger force. Plymouth Argyle are in Leagte Two,

:13:14.:13:20.

and will be against newly promoted Cambridge

:13:21.:13:25.

United from the conference. Guy, how do you think

:13:26.:13:27.

Argyle will get on? I think they will get

:13:28.:13:30.

promoted this season. They've invested well with

:13:31.:13:38.

experienced winners and thex will do I think it will be a tough division,

:13:39.:13:40.

very tight. But I feel as though we will have

:13:41.:13:47.

a good season, and hopefullx we can Exeter City kick off against a big

:13:48.:13:50.

name in League Two, Portsmotth. Exeter of course have all khnds

:13:51.:14:08.

monetary restraints. How about a venom? If I'm honest, I think it

:14:09.:14:15.

won't. At another full of confidence after Brazil and they will have a

:14:16.:14:21.

good season. The money will be coming through soon. And LB money

:14:22.:14:26.

from central funding and hopefully the embargo will be lifted so we can

:14:27.:14:35.

take on more players. Saturday, Torquay United are no longer a

:14:36.:14:39.

Football League club and next season in the Football

:14:40.:14:45.

Conference. Only the second time for them. Die, giving the presstre is on

:14:46.:14:51.

Chris Hargreaves? yes. I fit with his squad they are

:14:52.:14:55.

potential, very raw. They whll struggle to get

:14:56.:15:00.

he does, I like Chris, but he anywhere

:15:01.:15:06.

under the pressure to beat Gateshead. A massive task ahead

:15:07.:15:10.

Non`big on Saturday. They lost in the Play`Offs, so they are ` good

Devon and Somerset throughott the season and online.

:15:21.:15:21.

A hundred years ago today, Sir Ernest Shackleton left Plymouth for

:15:22.:15:23.

what turned out to be an ill`fated expedition to the Antarctic.

:15:24.:15:26.

The story, however, became one of inspirational leadership, strvival

:15:27.:15:28.

and an amazing rescue of thd crew whose ship was crushed in the ice.

:15:29.:15:32.

Today, relatives gathered at Millbay Docks to commemorate the expedition.

:15:33.:15:35.

Sailing off on an adventure. This ship was representing Sir Ernest

:15:36.:15:52.

Shackleton's ship can macro endurance which set sail for

:15:53.:15:56.

Antarctica a century ago today. Ancestors of the crew gathered at

:15:57.:16:01.

the docks in Plymouth to mark the occasion. his leadership was fame

:16:02.:16:08.

and all over the world. On the second expedition he failed, but the

:16:09.:16:14.

manner in which his leadership snatched from adversity, has made

:16:15.:16:19.

his name what it is today. The expedition failed as the endurance

:16:20.:16:24.

got stuck in the ice in February 1915. After 14 months, Shackleton

:16:25.:16:30.

and his crew of more than 20 took lifeboats and sailed to the nearest

:16:31.:16:35.

land, a rocky outcrop. From there, he took five men with him and

:16:36.:16:40.

lifeboats across the hostild Southern Ocean to South Georgia

:16:41.:16:45.

hoping to find help. and thhs is the amazing part, they

:16:46.:16:50.

wrong side, so he then had to make the first

:16:51.:16:54.

of South Georgia to get help from the whaling station. Eventu`lly all

:16:55.:16:59.

the men were safely rescued. Imagine, 16 days in this little

:17:00.:17:07.

lifeboat, six people all cr`mmed in here. Of course, this is a replica.

:17:08.:17:11.

This was built for the voyage in 2013. The six men who re`en`cted the

:17:12.:17:17.

trip last year said it was dxtremely difficult. And they started fresh.

:17:18.:17:21.

It was horrifically tough. There was no guarantees, no reason whx that

:17:22.:17:28.

both should have made it to South Georgia. You could argue thdre is no

:17:29.:17:33.

reason why we should have ehther, but they did, and we did. Bx

:17:34.:17:38.

crook, they got there. And when the alternative

:17:39.:17:44.

what you can do. Ironically, many of the men rescued went off to fight in

:17:45.:17:47.

the great War. All this week

:17:48.:17:50.

in partnership with the Impdrial War Museums, we've been looking at the

:17:51.:17:52.

impact of World War One at Home The outbreak of war 100 years ago

:17:53.:17:56.

this week changed lives fordver One woman from Dorset, who was keen

:17:57.:17:59.

to do her bit for the war effort, sent soldiers special gifts from

:18:00.:18:02.

home and in return received scores I've been to Bridport to sed how

:18:03.:18:04.

youngsters have been learning And that remarkable collecthon

:18:05.:18:08.

of letters, giving first`hand So Chrissy decided that she would do

:18:09.:18:41.

only some of her eggs. But before she send them to France, shd

:18:42.:18:46.

decorated each and everyone. She also wrote poems and messagds on the

:18:47.:18:53.

eggs for the soldiers. What we will think about today is why shd did

:18:54.:18:58.

that. And what impact and dhfference it made to the soldiers. Thd

:18:59.:19:02.

children at Bridport primarx School are hearing this story for the first

:19:03.:19:09.

time. A century ago it was children who are helped by National Hospital

:19:10.:19:13.

break week. When war broke out this developed

:19:14.:19:17.

collection for wounded soldhers in hospitals. France's Coalville and

John Lipscomb of volunteers are Bridport Museum and they have

:19:21.:19:25.

unravelled the story of Chrhssy Squire, the local egg lady. she must

:19:26.:19:31.

have felt frustrated that she wasn't able to go to war with the brothers.

:19:32.:19:35.

I like to think the prime motivation was that she wanted to contribute to

:19:36.:19:41.

the war effort and she saw being friendly to the soldiers, offering

:19:42.:19:45.

them support as the best wax she could do that. Than 80 depots around

:19:46.:19:51.

the country. One of which w`s just up the road from us here. And the

:19:52.:19:59.

egg office are used to pack them in Sykes, fill them with sawdust. Of

:20:00.:20:02.

course, there were breakages and broken eggs were just taken around

:20:03.:20:08.

the corner to the hospital. I noted that in warm week they took 500

:20:09.:20:18.

plus eggs. So they would have had a big omelette! But hundreds of

:20:19.:20:25.

Chrissy's eggs did make it. All the soldiers were touched and expressed

:20:26.:20:32.

their gratitude by writing to her. 22nd of April 1917. Dear frhend

:20:33.:20:35.

just a line of thanks for the Now I'm ready for the firing line

:20:36.:20:44.

again. It wouldn't make me feel like someone cared, and a lot happier. We

:20:45.:20:54.

are the first person to see them in over a hundred years. They were

:20:55.:21:01.

coming from farm boys, people from the backstreets, people frol Canada

:21:02.:21:07.

and Australia. `` 60 years. They must have been lonely, so f`r from

:21:08.:21:13.

home. It must been wonderful for them to get a decorated egg with a

:21:14.:21:19.

return address on it. No wonder they wrote back. I was lucky enotgh to

:21:20.:21:28.

get one of your eggs that you so prettily painted. I will

:21:29.:21:32.

until after the war and if H should live that long, I will return it to

I want one. I'm a nice lookhng fellow of 22. I think she w`s kind,

When the children brilliant? `` weren't.

:23:55.:24:03.

I'll give you some details on that, because it's not all bad news.

:24:04.:24:21.

Through the weekend we will see a change. There becomes a windy on

:24:22.:24:24.

Sunday, heavy rain earlier hn the day two. Also, some quite blustery

:24:25.:24:31.

winds. Quite a big change compared to what we have seen so far this

:24:32.:24:35.

summer. On the big picture, the clouds that have been affected as

:24:36.:24:41.

recently as here. One stripd of cloud going through central England

:24:42.:24:44.

and this is the low pressurd. will return to that in a minute

:24:45.:24:50.

This was earlier today, in Plymouth. Our cameraman got some shots

:24:51.:24:59.

earlier. Some seek time for our cameraman, Colin. He picked up quite

:25:00.:25:04.

a bit because there was a f`ir amount of cloud well ahead of the

:25:05.:25:08.

patchy rain that has come in eastern side of Devon. That's rain

:25:09.:25:15.

is creeping into Dorset as H speak. That first splash of rain

:25:16.:25:19.

change really as we head into this weekend. But let us look at the low

:25:20.:25:23.

pressure area. That is the Atlantic. Its position tomorrow is

:25:24.:25:32.

off the coast of Spain, so by the time we get to the middle of Sunday,

:25:33.:25:35.

it is right across southern Britain. Strong winds and heavy

:25:36.:25:40.

do have a warning from The Let office

:25:41.:25:45.

as the lively wind associatdd with that low pressure.

:25:46.:25:49.

it arrives, it moves away f`irly smartly on Sunday. We
