anniversary for the 4 x 100m. —— 4 The noise of envelopes ripping and | :01:03. | :01:09. | |
teenagers cheering sounded across the Channel Islands this morning, | :01:09. | :01:12. | |
as over 1,000 students received their A—Level results. Once again, | :01:12. | :01:17. | |

Elderfield has been around our islands' schools and colleges, | :01:23. | :01:24. | |
How did you get on? I got three islands' schools and colleges, | :01:24. | :01:40. | |
I am off to Southampton. I just discovered me and my friend are | :01:40. | :01:43. | |
going to unique but I have not opened my results yet but I know I | :01:43. | :01:48. | |
am going to university. There are exactly what I needed so that is | :01:48. | :02:00. | |
good. A lot of celebrations with tissues on hand just in case. But | :02:00. | :02:07. | |
for some they were just happy tears. I told my mum and she was crying | :02:07. | :02:10. | |
and I told my friends got in as well and she burst into tears again. | :02:10. | :02:17. | |
Three A—stars. Fulfilled. You have to put a lot of working but it is | :02:17. | :02:22. | |
definitely worth it. You get a good Of course not everyone will have | :02:22. | :02:26. | |

lots of smiles here today as these students start the next chapter | :02:29. | :02:32. | |
lots of smiles here today as these their life, whether that's going to | :02:32. | :02:36. | |
uni or trying to find a job. In Jersey queues formed early this | :02:36. | :02:38. | |
morning with sixth formers anxious to find out those all—important | :02:38. | :02:42. | |
Here at Hautlieu school one of the first in the line was Connie Le | :02:42. | :02:44. | |
Brocq. And after a nervous wait first in the line was Connie Le | :02:44. | :02:49. | |
success, and a well earned hug from incredibly happy, I applied to do | :02:49. | :02:57. | |
business management at Newcastle, so I've got in And Connie wasn't | :02:57. | :03:09. | |
the only one smiling. We did good, disappointment. I am quite happy, I | :03:09. | :03:16. | |
am not going to university, I have known already got a job so this | :03:16. | :03:19. | |
am not going to university, I have my own judgment in what I have done | :03:19. | :03:22. | |
so I am happy. I am really happy. I got into my course and I cannot | :03:22. | :03:26. | |
wait to start in September. His Overall official statistics show | :03:27. | :03:36. | |
In Guernsey it was slightly higher, at 99.5 % Both above the UK pass | :03:36. | :03:40. | |
rate of 98.1 % But Education bosses say even if students don't get the | :03:40. | :03:43. | |
grades they hoped for, there are For most we think looking at these | :03:43. | :03:56. | |
pleased, but for some people there will be disappointment, there are | :03:57. | :03:59. | |
always routes, and I think it's important that you sit back, you | :03:59. | :04:02. | |
analyse, whether that means going to a different university, whether | :04:02. | :04:05. | |
that means doing a different course, whether it means actually choosing | :04:05. | :04:07. | |
not going away, to take employment, Whether heading off to university, | :04:07. | :04:13. | |
or into the workplace. It's all change for these students. Once | :04:13. | :04:16. | |
or into the workplace. It's all course they've finished celebrating. | :04:16. | :04:28. | |
Some happy faces there but there are some difficult choices ahead | :04:28. | :04:31. | |
for Channel Islands students. Some may have mapped out university and | :04:31. | :04:33. | |
career courses already and some will be entering the jobs market, | :04:33. | :04:37. | |
qualifications will get them. Pam Caulfield has been to meet two | :04:37. | :04:43. | |
different paths post—18. There are At 23 Kit's now got his dream job. | :04:43. | :04:49. | |
He's a nutritionist in Jersey. It took him years of hard work to get | :04:49. | :04:57. | |
here. It all started back in A— levels and not only did I need | :04:57. | :04:58. | |
those A—levels to progress into levels and not only did I need | :04:58. | :05:02. | |
undergraduate degree but it showed me how hard I can work and still | :05:02. | :05:07. | |
get the results. From A levels to postgraduate I had to really push | :05:07. | :05:12. | |
each time to a new level and I have finally earned myself a good job. | :05:13. | :05:18. | |
savings to help pay for his studies. But going to University can be | :05:18. | :05:23. | |
expensive. 19—year—old Lauren's chosen a different route. Having | :05:23. | :05:28. | |
straight into work, and train on the job. You can still do your job | :05:28. | :05:35. | |
and do evening and weekend classes so I will still be earning money | :05:35. | :05:39. | |
and getting more experience in the office environment while taking | :05:39. | :05:43. | |
and getting more experience in the qualification to work my way up | :05:43. | :05:47. | |
and getting more experience in the business jobs through a recruitment | :05:47. | :05:49. | |
company and plans to work her way to the top. With cost of studying | :05:49. | :05:52. | |
and competition for graduate jobs both rising, it's an option more | :05:52. | :05:59. | |
are taking. There are a lot of opportunities in Jersey for school— | :05:59. | :06:05. | |
leavers to begin their career path There are still opportunities to | :06:05. | :06:12. | |
gain professional qualifications, may be without taking the route | :06:12. | :06:17. | |
gain professional qualifications, Many decisions lie ahead for school | :06:17. | :06:19. | |
leavers. But if they don't go to University there are other ways | :06:19. | :06:25. | |
leavers. But if they don't go to Well, not all islanders got their A | :06:25. | :06:27. | |
levels, many not even their GCSEs. And not everyone has the confidence | :06:28. | :06:36. | |
difficult jobs market. Step in The Prince's Trust, offering practical | :06:36. | :06:37. | |
and financial support. In fact, Prince's Trust, offering practical | :06:37. | :06:40. | |
Trust's ambassador in Jersey found himself in desperate need of their | :06:40. | :06:41. | |
help when times were tough and, himself in desperate need of their | :06:42. | :06:45. | |
he told our reporter Chris Harrison, it was a royal intervention that | :06:45. | :06:53. | |
rescued him. I was unemployed for nine months and I was starting to | :06:53. | :06:58. | |
get suicidal thoughts. Luckily the Prince's Trust was open and I took | :06:58. | :07:03. | |
The Princes Trust helped Janni when no—one else would. Now he helps | :07:03. | :07:07. | |
training courses for young people, and it's all by Royal apointment. I | :07:07. | :07:18. | |

went on to separate the training days and Prince Charles offered | :07:25. | :07:28. | |
went on to separate the training a job. Now while working for Prince | :07:28. | :07:33. | |

House prices are at their lowest level in Jersey for around five | :08:50. | :08:52. | |
years, according to latest states figures. There's been a slow and | :08:52. | :08:55. | |
gradual drop in price of all types of houses and flats since 2007. | :08:56. | :08:59. | |

the Guernsey West Show. It has attracted thousands of visitors | :09:34. | :09:38. | |
over the last few days and we went You're watching the BBC in the | :09:38. | :09:47. | |
100 years old and going strong. You're watching the BBC in the | :09:47. | :10:06. | |
celebration of all of the things sometimes we do not see our friends | :10:06. | :10:21. | |
grandson came it won't waste —— said when we came men, he saw a | :10:21. | :10:25. | |
horse and cart anti said, you do not see that sort of thing every | :10:25. | :10:26. | |
day and I told him that was why not see that sort of thing every | :10:26. | :10:32. | |
excellent turnout and that is why they come every year and hopefully | :10:32. | :10:36. | |
it will remain for a long time for the next few years. The kids always | :10:36. | :10:40. | |
put things in the tent and we play a big part in it. Events like this | :10:40. | :10:46. | |
rely heavily on volunteers and a little earlier I met a man who has | :10:46. | :10:54. | |
been helping out before her century —— the best part of half a century. | :10:54. | :11:06. | |
Bert is the Honorary President of the West Show, He's been on the | :11:06. | :11:09. | |
organising committee and feels the Show has a strong future. We have | :11:09. | :11:13. | |
got a lot of youngsters who help us to put the tense up and everything. | :11:13. | :11:21. | |
So while young and old enjoy the 100th anniversary, it seems many | :11:21. | :11:24. | |
more people keen to keep it going for another 100 years at least. | :11:24. | :11:28. | |
A beautiful day there. A changes on Good evening. We have rain heading | :11:28. | :11:35. | |
away after a lovely day today. We had some lovely temperatures but it | :11:35. | :11:37. | |
will be different tomorrow with had some lovely temperatures but it | :11:37. | :11:42. | |
lot more cloud around. We have patchy rain in the morning and it | :11:42. | :11:45. | |
will brighten up a little bit but remain a mystery. —— mystique. This | :11:45. | :11:53. | |
weather system is developing a few waves across it so its progress | :11:53. | :11:58. | |
towards us is erratic. Even in the middle of the day it will be to | :11:58. | :12:01. | |
towards us is erratic. Even in the north and keeping us humid and | :12:01. | :12:05. | |
towards the end of the day. There will be a bright start on Saturday | :12:05. | :12:09. | |
but another weather system brings some rain later in the day and the | :12:09. | :12:13. | |
conditions on Saturday will be winded. Tonight there will be clear | :12:13. | :12:17. | |
sky to start with and the cloud will gradually thicken towards dawn | :12:17. | :12:24. | |
and bring a slight patchy rain. Tomorrow it will be a damp morning | :12:24. | :12:29. | |
and the rain will peter out by mid— afternoon. Once that starts to | :12:29. | :12:32. | |
happen there will be an improvement and we keep a lot of low cloud and | :12:32. | :12:37. | |
mist around. Eventually the wind will change direction. This is the | :12:37. | :12:50. | |
coastal water forecast. Rain at times with moderate visibility. | :12:50. | :13:01. | |
For our servers it will be a bit possibly four feet. The outlook | :13:01. | :13:06. | |
gets better for Sunday onwards. possibly four feet. The outlook | :13:06. | :13:13. | |
Saturday, after a bright start the rain will set in and it will become | :13:13. | :13:16. | |
wet and windy in the afternoon but the main area of rain will clear | :13:16. | :13:21. | |
overnight Saturday into Sunday and Sunday will be a nice day, albeit a | :13:21. | :13:26. | |
bit breezy. We should see sunshine and it will be dry as we head into | :13:26. | :13:32. | |
We knew the good weather could not last. That is it for now. I will | :13:32. | :13:37. | |
have Updates throughout the evening. Thank you very much for watching. | :13:37. | :13:42. | |
This is it. The first time ever set foot on Samson. It is like being in | :13:42. | :19:12. | |
the Caribbean. Is not a bad view, is that? Although | :19:12. | :19:22. | |
this is an uninhabited islands now, I am not here are my own. Then here | :19:22. | :19:27. | |
to meet David Moore from the Isles of Scilly wildlife trust, who will | :19:27. | :19:31. | |
tell me more about the history of Samson and the wildlife living here. | :19:31. | :19:39. | |
Hello, David. Hello, just in.This was obviously someone's house once. | :19:39. | :19:50. | |
How did the island end up being abandoned? People farmed here until | :19:50. | :19:54. | |
about 1855, when Augustus Smith took over the lease of all the islands. | :19:54. | :19:59. | |
He was the first person interested in doing that, and he had ideas for | :19:59. | :20:05. | |
social reform, and I think having people here didn't fit in with that | :20:05. | :20:10. | |
plan, so people were asked to leave. So in 1855, the last people left the | :20:10. | :20:16. | |
island. The Webbers and the Woodcock 's the main families. My Gran was a | :20:16. | :20:21. | |
Woodcock, so my family lived here. What sort of life would they have | :20:21. | :20:26. | |
had? Quite a nice life, farming and fishing and connected with the land. | :20:26. | :20:29. | |
It would have been hard with water shortages, but all an interesting | :20:29. | :20:39. | |
life. This is another of Augustus Smith's ideas. Once people left the | :20:39. | :20:44. | |
island, he had this wall built. It is not quite high enough for dear, | :20:44. | :20:50. | |
and the story goes that the deer escaped and either drown or got back | :20:50. | :20:52. | |
to Tresco. Preparing for this visit, I found | :20:52. | :21:02. | |
this rare photograph of Samson and I have tracked down K Manfield, | :21:02. | :21:09. | |
descendant of the man in this picture, and I will meet in what is | :21:09. | :21:17. | |
left of this property. Hello, K. Who lived here, then? This was my | :21:17. | :21:26. | |
grandmother's cottage. Who is the man in the photo? Here's my | :21:26. | :21:30. | |
great—grandfather, and he was an Woodcock's son. My grandmother, who | :21:30. | :21:37. | |
was his daughter she said when she was a young girl, they would come | :21:38. | :21:44. | |
out in boats and they would come up and spend the day and picnic and | :21:44. | :21:49. | |
pick primroses to take back to Saint Mary 's, it was like its own world | :21:49. | :21:55. | |
appear. What sort of stories have passed down through your family | :21:55. | :21:59. | |
about the time when it came to leave the island? Water and acceptance | :21:59. | :22:02. | |
they had to go or did they want to stay? There wasn't an acceptance at | :22:02. | :22:07. | |
all. The families wanted to stay. Augustus Smith since the parties up | :22:07. | :22:12. | |
to evict them, to take them off the island, down to Saint Mary 's, and | :22:12. | :22:17. | |
they were so determined to stay, they barricaded themselves in the | :22:17. | :22:22. | |
cottage. They said they would rather die than be taken off the island, | :22:22. | :22:27. | |
and in the end, the parties got back in their boats and left. This web | :22:27. | :22:33. | |
family did eventually leave, but they put up a protest quite | :22:33. | :22:39. | |
strongly, and good on them. It has remained uninhabited ever since, | :22:39. | :22:43. | |
apart from wildlife. I will catch up with David now to find out more | :22:43. | :22:46. | |
about that. Nice to me you. Thank you. | :22:46. | :22:54. | |
It is important wildlife haven. We have a very important sea bird | :22:54. | :23:00. | |
colony, shacks, fulmars, and very important sea bird, and that is | :23:00. | :23:05. | |
important for archaeology. This is one of several prehistoric burial | :23:05. | :23:11. | |
mounds on the hilltops. As someone who is descended from the families | :23:11. | :23:14. | |
that lived on the island, how does it feel to be conserving it for | :23:14. | :23:19. | |
future generations? When I come here, I often wonder what might | :23:19. | :23:24. | |
ancestors with say seeing all the bracken that would not have been | :23:24. | :23:27. | |
here when they worked the land, and it feels good to be letting it take | :23:27. | :23:30. | |
back over. I can finally understand why the | :23:30. | :23:39. | |
Woodcock 's and the Webbers were so reluctant to leave Samson all those | :23:40. | :23:45. | |
years ago. It has been a real privilege to finally get to explore | :23:45. | :23:48. | |
this beautiful part of the South West. | :23:48. | :23:52. | |
And next week it's a David double—act. On Wednesday, BBC Radio | :23:52. | :23:55. | |
Cornwall's David White discovers Pengersick Castle at Praa Sands, and | :23:55. | :23:58. | |
on Thursday, on his first ever visit, BBC Radio Devon's David | :23:58. | :24:01. | |
Fitzgerald finds out he's connected to the people who built Overbecks in | :24:01. | :24:10. | |
Salcombe. I look forward to that next week. We were fortunate with | :24:11. | :24:15. | |
the weather on our trip, as you saw, it was a bit like the Caribbean. It | :24:15. | :24:20. | |
hasn't been so silly to date but it is getting better. Next week, yes. | :24:20. | :24:28. | |
There is some rain in the forecast, but next week is much drier and we | :24:28. | :24:33. | |
should see some sunshine. Tomorrow, we have some rain coming in | :24:33. | :24:37. | |
overnight tonight and it will be around for much of the morning, and | :24:37. | :24:41. | |
then brighter and drier with a fresher feel to the air and the end | :24:41. | :24:45. | |
of the afternoon. The satellite picture shows this great lump of | :24:45. | :24:48. | |
cloud stretching out into the Atlantic. It gives some heavy rain | :24:48. | :24:53. | |
across Ireland, heading down towards us in the few hours. The main | :24:53. | :24:58. | |
weather system producing that is moving towards us, with bumps | :24:58. | :25:02. | |
developing along, which means its progress is inconsistent. The time | :25:02. | :25:06. | |
we get to the end of the morning and into the afternoon, it will clear | :25:06. | :25:11. | |
away from us. Approaching that is a new area of low pressure which will | :25:11. | :25:15. | |
bring quite wet and windy weather on Saturday. Once that goes through, | :25:15. | :25:19. | |
come Sunday, it is a much improved picture. Weather surfers are among | :25:19. | :25:24. | |
you, the isobars are pretty much straight from Newfoundland across | :25:25. | :25:28. | |
the west coast of Ireland. That means a steady strength of wind over | :25:28. | :25:33. | |
a long stretch of sea, so some big waves heading our way, especially | :25:33. | :25:37. | |
Sunday and into Monday. In the last few hours, here comes that wet | :25:37. | :25:42. | |
weather, already into parts of West Wales and the Isles of Scilly. | :25:42. | :25:47. | |
Before that, earlier, our cameraman was down in Cornwall, where there | :25:47. | :25:51. | |
was a bit of brightness in the sky and the seas were relatively calm, | :25:51. | :25:56. | |
so here we've seen temperatures up to 19 degrees today are higher than | :25:56. | :26:02. | |
that inland, 22 in the sunshine, but the breeze will increase overnight | :26:02. | :26:07. | |
which will whip up the seas and by Saturday, with that new area of low | :26:07. | :26:10. | |
pressure, someone the conditions heading our way. Overnight, that | :26:10. | :26:17. | |
band of rain comes in from the North West, becoming widespread in the | :26:17. | :26:21. | |
early hours, low clouds developing too, so hill fog becomes extensive | :26:21. | :26:27. | |
and also the breeze. Overnight temperatures shouldn't fall much | :26:27. | :26:32. | |
below 16 or 17. Tomorrow, we wake to a web start. Outbreaks of rain for | :26:33. | :26:36. | |
all of us but clearing from North Devon first then much of Cornwall, | :26:36. | :26:41. | |
slow to clear, Dorset and Somerset eventually it will clear to give | :26:41. | :26:45. | |
some lengthy sunny spells in the afternoon. A bit misty around the | :26:45. | :26:48. | |
coast, particularly the North Coast. Temperatures will still get | :26:48. | :26:54. | |
into 22 or 23 degrees, but a fresher feel to the air as we head into the | :26:54. | :27:00. | |
weekend. For the Isles of Scilly, rain clearing here first and then | :27:00. | :27:04. | |
fine and mainly dry as lighter winds trade —— change direction. The | :27:04. | :27:11. | |
service will be a bit choppy if not messy tomorrow, but cleaning up as | :27:11. | :27:15. | |
we head into the second half of the weekend. There is our coastal | :27:15. | :27:22. | |
weather is forecast, south—westerly veering north—westerly, rain at | :27:22. | :27:25. | |
times they're becoming fair. Saturday will be wet and windy. | :27:25. | :27:29. | |
Sunday is brighter and continuing dry into next week. | :27:29. | :27:34. | |
Thank you, David. That is all from us for now. I will be back at | :27:34. | :27:41. | |
10:25pm. I hope you can join us for that. Have a good evening. | :27:41. | :27:41. |
