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 | :00:49. | :00:50. | |

yesterday evening are still really unclear at the moment and that's | :01:56. | :02:02. | |
why we're appealing to witndsses. It was half past six at night | :02:03. | :02:04. | |

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. | |

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. | |

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. | :11:45. | :11:50. | |
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 | :15:11. | :15:16. | |
side. But we are looking forward to it. There is coverage on | :15:17. | :15:20. | |
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 | :19:18. | :19:20. | |
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 | :21:33. | :21:40. | |
you. Never give up, keep gohng and there are some smiley faces, a party | :21:41. | :21:45. | |
`` poppy and mountains. I h`ve seen life and death. Braves, sturdy lads | :21:46. | :21:49. | |
marching to their place in the firing line. I have seen thdm come | :21:50. | :21:55. | |
back, no picture ever paintdd, no dreams can make you realise the site | :21:56. | :22:00. | |
some beach or eyes. The scene of utter desolation. What I im`gine | :22:01. | :22:06. | |
will be like the end of the world. I just think, wow, this is am`zing. | :22:07. | :22:12. | |
They would have definitely understood what time she put into it | :22:13. | :22:17. | |
and must have been very chedred It must have turned their frown upside | :22:18. | :22:23. | |
down. Many fell in love with Chrissy. I will certainly come and | :22:24. | :22:28. | |
see you when I return, if you don't mind. I don't have a young lady but | :22:29. | :22:33. | |
I want one. I'm a nice lookhng fellow of 22. I think she w`s kind, | :22:34. | :22:42. | |
generous. Somebody who was doing her best to reach out to others. In any | :22:43. | :22:50. | |
way she could. Won and 100 xears on, the class of today is inspired by | :22:51. | :22:52. | |
Chrissy's story as they realise difference gifts would have made and | :22:53. | :22:56. | |
imagine the would have sent the injured soldiers | :22:57. | :23:01. | |
of World War I. soldiers to continue and never give | :23:02. | :23:09. | |
up. be confident, never givd up A forest and the soldiers fighting. | :23:10. | :23:18. | |
Keep going, you can do it! be confident. The brave. Keep positive | :23:19. | :23:33. | |
and smile. I would have been very cheered up. the time is comhng when | :23:34. | :23:48. | |
all of wee, shall be in Blighty eating eggs for tea. | :23:49. | :23:54. | |
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 | :25:50. | :25:56. | |
moment, but the main focus hs on the brain | :25:57. | :26:05. | |
will fade away overnight, and apart from a view showers hit in | :26:06. | :26:13. | |
temperatures dipping as low as 2 or 13 degrees. A | :26:14. | :26:22. | |
fairly isolated and for manx of us, some | :26:23. | :26:32. | |
and they will pick up through the day and eventually back southerly as | :26:33. | :26:37. | |
Temperatures tomorrow to 20 and 21 degrees, that | :26:38. | :26:44. | |
shower then mostly dry but clouding over and | :26:45. | :26:51. | |
hours of the morning. High water times: We are moving to sprhng side | :26:52. | :26:58. | |
so on Sunday night once the winds get going, we could have a problem | :26:59. | :27:03. | |
with some sizeable waves particularly along the northern | :27:04. | :27:06. | |
coast of Devon and Cornwall. Serve tomorrow up to three feet, but | :27:07. | :27:10. | |
increasing through the weekdnd and some pretty messy surfing conditions | :27:11. | :27:14. | |
by Sunday afternoon. That is not good news, we have | :27:15. | :27:17. | |
taking place this weekend in Newquay. There are other co`stal | :27:18. | :27:22. | |
waters forecast, showers with generally good visibility. Just a | :27:23. | :27:26. | |
reminder that rain coming up from the south early in the day on | :27:27. | :27:29. | |
Sunday. It will be accompanhed strong winds as it moves into | :27:30. | :27:33. | |
central written throughout Sunday. Take care. Thank you David. | :27:34. | :27:39. | |
Hopefully that won't cause too many problems, but sure | :27:40. | :27:43. | |
keep you up`to`date over thd weekend. | :27:44. | :27:59. | |
