That is all from the BBC News at 6.00pm. So goodbye from me `nd | :00:00. | :00:25. | |
smoking it. The journey frol hell, the cross`channel ferry sailing that | :00:26. | :00:35. | |
sort of damage and injuries. And months on from winter storms, the | :00:36. | :00:41. | |
warnings that our bird population is still struggling to recover. | :00:42. | :00:50. | |
Jersey's states are unlikelx to back plans to allow some islanders | :00:51. | :00:52. | |
to use cannabis for medicin`l use according to the island's ddputy | :00:53. | :00:55. | |
Senator Lyndon Farnham was commenting on a proposition | :00:56. | :01:00. | |
for the class B drug to be `vailable on licence for pain relief. | :01:01. | :01:03. | |
Our reporter Emma Chambers spoke to one islander with chronic | :01:04. | :01:06. | |
health problems who's already living outside of the law. | :01:07. | :01:12. | |
It's psychoactive effects which include relaxation | :01:13. | :01:16. | |
and euphoria makes cannabis the most widely used drug in thd UK | :01:17. | :01:20. | |
But not every cannabis user takes the Class B drug | :01:21. | :01:23. | |
Evelyn is unable to work as she suffers chronic pain. | :01:24. | :01:30. | |
She's had her colon removed and has kidney problems. | :01:31. | :01:34. | |
She chooses to smoke cannabhs as she says it helps her more than | :01:35. | :01:36. | |
Cannabis helps because it ghves me an appetite and slows down ly | :01:37. | :01:55. | |
transit times. It helps to dase the spasms I get. | :01:56. | :01:57. | |
But Evelyn knows she's breaking the law. | :01:58. | :01:59. | |
Last year 61 people were ch`rged with possession of cannabis, | :02:00. | :02:01. | |
For Evelyn to avoid joining these statistics use for medicinal | :02:02. | :02:08. | |
purposes would have to be lhcensed by the Health Department. | :02:09. | :02:11. | |
But there are concerns granting the first licence under the Misuse | :02:12. | :02:15. | |
of Drugs Act will increase drug use in the island. | :02:16. | :02:22. | |
While we are trying to get people off drugs, legitimising thel get | :02:23. | :02:31. | |
more people onto them. That is dilemma. It also sent out the wrong | :02:32. | :02:37. | |
signal to young people saying smoking cannabis is acceptable. | :02:38. | :02:40. | |
Evelyn hopes to be granted the licence next month when the | :02:41. | :02:43. | |
States debate the issue, but if she isn't she says it won't stop her. | :02:44. | :02:49. | |
In the eyes of the government, cannabis is illegal. I respdct that. | :02:50. | :03:00. | |
Funny, it is my medicine and I will keep smoking it. | :03:01. | :03:02. | |

Condor Vitesse sailing from Weymouth to the Channel Islands. | :03:06. | :03:07. | |
Passengers have described the crossing in rough seas | :03:08. | :03:09. | |
The ship set off from the UK when wave heights were | :03:10. | :03:25. | |
in safe limits but they hit a rough patch near the Casquets Lighthouse. | :03:26. | :03:28. | |
Passengers say most people on board were sick and some of the | :03:29. | :03:31. | |
Condor says it's now working with passengers whose cars were damaged | :03:32. | :03:37. | |
to help resolve their insurance claims. | :03:38. | :03:40. | |
As these pictures show, rough seas and big waves were pounding | :03:41. | :03:42. | |
the island's west coast yesterday, the remains of Hurricane Bertha | :03:43. | :03:47. | |
But while these surfers enjoyed the heavy swell some Condor passengers | :03:48. | :03:50. | |
will be left with heavy instrance claims after their rough ride. | :03:51. | :03:53. | |

An investigation has begun into a fire in St Peter Port which | :04:19. | :04:27. | |
The house on Clifton Street was unoccupied when neighbours noticed | :04:28. | :04:31. | |
flames and smoke at around half eleven last night. | :04:32. | :04:34. | |
The blaze took two hours to extinguish and the Fire Service | :04:35. | :04:36. | |
Two men had to be rescued ydsterday after being cut off by a rising tide | :04:37. | :04:44. | |
These mobile phone pictures show the St John Ambulance and Rdscue | :04:45. | :04:50. | |

The two 22`year`olds had bedn been rockpooling between Moulin Huet and | :04:55. | :04:57. | |
Both were unhurt and described their rescuers as amazing. | :04:58. | :05:05. | |
There are fears that some n`tive seabird species will never | :05:06. | :05:07. | |
Hundreds of puffins, gulls and shags washed up along the | :05:08. | :05:12. | |
channel islands coastlines darlier this year after weeks of rotgh seas | :05:13. | :05:16. | |
Now experts are assessing the long`term damage. | :05:17. | :05:21. | |
A warning this report from Mike Wilkins contains images that | :05:22. | :05:24. | |
This winter it wasn't just humans being wiped out. | :05:25. | :05:37. | |
Tens of thousands of seabirds died as they struggled | :05:38. | :05:39. | |
Puffins and European shags were among those | :05:40. | :05:46. | |
to suffer as the sediment whipped up in the sea made it difficult | :05:47. | :05:49. | |
Over the last two months thd bird colonies have been monitored | :05:50. | :05:54. | |
Birds are really struggling. Over the last decade the populathon of | :05:55. | :06:11. | |
some colonies appears to have dropped by something like 80%. We | :06:12. | :06:14. | |
are now seeing significant reductions in the populations. | :06:15. | :06:16. | |
But there are some positive signs of life. | :06:17. | :06:19. | |
Here a healthy young gull c`n be seen asking its parent for food | :06:20. | :06:25. | |
Behind me they are three spdcies of goal. From what I can see and from | :06:26. | :06:34. | |
what I have been told And despite battling against | :06:35. | :06:39. | |
mother nature, some other species We are very thankful we havd not | :06:40. | :06:47. | |
lost all our puffins. Most colonies appeared to be down in numbdrs but | :06:48. | :06:52. | |
we still have birds returning in good enough numbers. Hopefully, we | :06:53. | :06:58. | |
will continue to see puffins doing well. | :06:59. | :06:59. | |
But it's not just the weather affecting them. | :07:00. | :07:01. | |
Even when I was filming I s`w people disturbing a nesting area. | :07:02. | :07:03. | |
And many chicks and eggs have been taken by rats, something the | :07:04. | :07:05. | |
A man from Jersey completed the challenge of a lifetime last | :07:06. | :07:21. | |
week running round the coast of Jersey seven times in seven days. | :07:22. | :07:23. | |
Paul Burrows ran almost 340 miles in total. | :07:24. | :07:25. | |
Here he is with his support crew finishing | :07:26. | :07:33. | |
He joined me earlier and said he's still on cloud nine. | :07:34. | :07:39. | |
I am really pleased to have completed it. This time last week I | :07:40. | :07:48. | |
was probably going through one of my toughest days. To be sat here now I | :07:49. | :07:58. | |
am really pleased. You have come in in sandals today. How other feet. | :07:59. | :08:04. | |
They are not great. I don't think I want to show them on TV. I have some | :08:05. | :08:12. | |
blisters but I can walk tod`y. This wasn't just one day, it was seven | :08:13. | :08:19. | |
days. How did you get up in the morning and do it again? It was | :08:20. | :08:23. | |
really difficult. Every day I finished drained. I actuallx got | :08:24. | :08:30. | |
into an ice bath at the hotdl every evening. Then I would go hole and | :08:31. | :08:37. | |
sit there. I was having so luch support from people. It was | :08:38. | :08:47. | |
phenomenal. I just felt likd everybody was behind me. People I | :08:48. | :08:54. | |
have never even met were sponsored means large amounts of monex. That | :08:55. | :08:58. | |
brought me back into realitx for a little while. It energised le. You | :08:59. | :09:04. | |
have raised over ?10,000. How do you think the money will be used? I | :09:05. | :09:09. | |
think it is for their day`to`day running costs. It costs somdthing | :09:10. | :09:16. | |
like ?12,000 a day to run. The more that people like us can do, is | :09:17. | :09:30. | |
useful. We need to do things to fund it. A brilliant achievement. Thank | :09:31. | :09:38. | |
you for coming in and telling us your story. | :09:39. | :09:41. | |

over the decision to place Professor Wendy Purcell on leave. | :12:53. | :12:54. | |
No reason for her suspension has been given, | :12:55. | :12:56. | |
Petrol stations across Plymouth should have unleaded fuel b`ck | :12:57. | :13:02. | |
on sale by midnight, after a slip`up at a storagd depot | :13:03. | :13:05. | |

A leather`bound scrapbook found at a yacht club | :13:42. | :13:43. | |
in Falmouth gives a fascinating insight into the days just before | :13:44. | :13:46. | |
It's the log of the voyage of the yacht Owl, from Harwhch to | :13:47. | :13:50. | |
Kiel, just days before World War I was declared. | :13:51. | :13:53. | |
The only connection to Falmouth is an address inside the cover. | :13:54. | :13:55. | |
Members of the Royal Cornwall Yacht Club are trying | :13:56. | :13:57. | |
to find out how the document came to be on their book shelves. | :13:58. | :14:00. | |
Spotlight's David George has been to investigate. | :14:01. | :14:05. | |
This is the Owl, a 70`foot ketch built in 1909 of | :14:06. | :14:07. | |
Details of her month`long voyage in July 1914 are a chilling glimpse | :14:08. | :14:18. | |
This is a log entry from almost exactly 100 years ago. | :14:19. | :14:28. | |
"..then six four`runnel cruhsers abreast about one and a | :14:29. | :14:30. | |
These were followed by four large battleships | :14:31. | :14:34. | |
then came four light cruisers and 24 battleships in columns lying ahead. | :14:35. | :14:42. | |
The site of this fleet, its position and direction, made us | :14:43. | :14:44. | |
yacht's log is included in a scrapbook found at the Royal | :14:45. | :14:52. | |
It also includes postcards `nd letters associated with the trip. | :14:53. | :15:00. | |
One of them, from a Danish friend, I think, is really quite gung`ho. | :15:01. | :15:05. | |
It says, "Everything is OK now that England has entered the war. | :15:06. | :15:07. | |
Germany will be finished in no time." | :15:08. | :15:10. | |
It is just like you read in your schoolbooks ` | :15:11. | :15:13. | |
people at that time thought the war would be over in a couple of weeks. | :15:14. | :15:17. | |
There were five on board for the 26`day voyage. | :15:18. | :15:19. | |
The owner, Nicholas Andrew, two paid crew and two guests. | :15:20. | :15:25. | |
This is a fascinating letter named by a guest written two weeks | :15:26. | :15:34. | |
after the end of the trip but just days after the start | :15:35. | :15:55. | |
He says, "We were lucky to get clear of Germany when we did, and I look | :15:56. | :16:00. | |
back upon my holiday not only as an enjoyable time, but the events | :16:01. | :16:03. | |
which have since occurred h`ve added a special interest to it." | :16:04. | :16:06. | |
These are people going about their ordinary lives | :16:07. | :16:08. | |
in a very ordinary way, by our standards quite luxurious | :16:09. | :16:10. | |
and privileged but nonetheldss without any idea at all of what was | :16:11. | :16:13. | |
about to happen throughout Durope and the whole world. | :16:14. | :16:15. | |
It is all a bit reminiscent of the plot of this book, The Riddle Of The | :16:16. | :16:19. | |
Sands, that story of yachting and spying on the German coast hn the | :16:20. | :16:22. | |
In fact, the book inspired lany yachtsmen to make a similar voyage. | :16:23. | :16:27. | |

sport... It was an | :19:29. | :19:33. | |
inauspicious start to the ndw football season for the South West's | :19:34. | :19:36. | |
senior clubs. Only Exeter Chty came out of the weekend with any reward. | :19:37. | :19:39. | |
Our commentators on BBC Somdrset and BBC Radio Devon describe thd drama | :19:40. | :19:42. | |
from day one of the campaign. He lobs it over the goalkeeper | :19:43. | :19:45. | |

a little bit of work to do. Wallace, five yards away, ddcides to | :20:05. | :20:11. | |
come infield, inside the penalty We have come into the game | :20:12. | :20:20. | |

at last season's play`off fhnalists Gateshead indicate they havd | :20:50. | :20:59. | |
a formidable job on their h`nds if they're to challenge for honours | :21:00. | :21:02. | |
in the football Conference. After the dramatic weather `t the | :21:03. | :21:18. | |
weekend, let's see what this week has in | :21:19. | :21:28. | |
better as the week progressds. But for the moment Wendy with showers. | :21:29. | :21:36. | |
Quite rough sea conditions. That curl of cloud across the top of | :21:37. | :21:43. | |
Scotland is the remnants of the hurricane rain. We are under the | :21:44. | :21:48. | |
influence of it but we are furthest away from it. The weather whll | :21:49. | :21:53. | |
improve first first. There `re showers rotating around that area of | :21:54. | :21:58. | |
pressure. More to come. There could be some quite sharp showers. By | :21:59. | :22:04. | |
Wednesday, the showers starting to die down. North West wind. Wind | :22:05. | :22:08. | |
coming from a cold direction so do not expect temperatures to be too | :22:09. | :22:16. | |
high. Ordinarily, the showers would fade away overnight but I do | :22:17. | :22:20. | |
think that will happen tonight. The showers will keep | :22:21. | :22:25. | |
with the risk of thunder to come. Still quite windy conditions, | :22:26. | :22:28. | |
especially along the coastlhne and along the coast of the Moors, too. | :22:29. | :22:34. | |
Enough clear skies to get those temperatures down quite low. Quite a | :22:35. | :22:41. | |
cold start to the day tomorrow. Also a showery day. The showers will come | :22:42. | :22:45. | |
and go throughout. No real spell of weather where it remains basically | :22:46. | :22:51. | |
dry. If you are lucky, you lay see one or two and | :22:52. | :22:58. | |
is fine and dry but otherwise the showers could be | :22:59. | :23:04. | |
temperatures, they are not too high tomorrow. Up to 17 or 18 for most of | :23:05. | :23:14. | |
us. 19 in sheltered inland parts. Elsewhere showers quite frepuent and | :23:15. | :23:19. | |
where they do occur, the temperatures drop quite smartly | :23:20. | :23:22. | |
Hopefully there will be somd lengthy spells of sunshine in betwedn the | :23:23. | :23:30. | |
showers. Blustery wind making it feel on the cool side. | :23:31. | :23:38. | |
The next couple of days, thd tides are high. Spring tides unustally so. | :23:39. | :23:51. | |
Several flood alerts for thd coasts. North and South coast. Thosd alerts | :23:52. | :23:55. | |
continue into tomorrow and Wednesday. The combination of strong | :23:56. | :24:01. | |
wind, of the high tides and also of the low`pressure living a rhsk of | :24:02. | :24:06. | |
coastal flooding. Big waves for surfers, too. Especially on the | :24:07. | :24:11. | |
North coast. Some quite tricky conditions out at sea. | :24:12. | :24:18. | |
Visibility reduced in those showers, though. Here is thd | :24:19. | :24:25. | |
forecast as we head towards the end of the week. Quieter in terls of | :24:26. | :24:29. | |
strength of wind. Probably the best day will be Wednesday. It does get | :24:30. | :24:35. | |
quieter and somewhat, by thd time we get to Friday. Something to be happy | :24:36. | :24:43. | |
about. `` quieter and somewhat more calm. | :24:44. | :24:51. | |
Now, if you need a bit a cheering up tonight, we m`y well | :24:52. | :24:54. | |
It's something which has become a bit of an internet craze, | :24:55. | :24:57. | |
and the latest version comes from a community in North Ddvon | :24:58. | :25:00. | |
Residents in Petrockstowe have made their own | :25:01. | :25:02. | |
version of the Happy video by Pharrell Williams, to encourage | :25:03. | :25:04. | |
Spotlight's John Ayres has been been taking a look. | :25:05. | :25:07. | |
No doubt it is a catchy tund and as a result, community groups tp and | :25:08. | :25:14. | |
down the country have been recording their own version of Happy. We are | :25:15. | :25:21. | |
up for anything in this village It is wonderful. There is so mtch to | :25:22. | :25:28. | |
do. You would never be lonely here. We want to get everybody here and | :25:29. | :25:35. | |
let everybody know how amazhng it is. Not everyone realises what a | :25:36. | :25:40. | |
happy community we have got and therefore I felt that the PDA using | :25:41. | :25:48. | |
the song would really showc`se our village in its best light. @ction! | :25:49. | :25:56. | |
There is even a website where all the different versions made by | :25:57. | :26:00. | |
different groups will be uploaded. Is it something anyone can do? Yes, | :26:01. | :26:10. | |
anyone can do it, even you. HE MINDS. `` MINES. | :26:11. | :27:19. | |
Who were all those people? Just time to say good night. Thank you | :27:20. | :27:31. | |
