Overcrowded and outdated — the secondary school by its former

:00:21.:00:25.

head—teacher. Nake ambition — why Guernsey sports stars are dropping

:00:25.:00:32.

their clothes to raise awareness. And doing battle with the weather

:00:32.:00:35.

but the clouds did eventually part displays, see the highlights later

in the programme. Good when I am older, I'm going to fly one of them.

:00:50.:00:59.

Two generations of Jersey students have been let down, according to the

:00:59.:01:03.

former head teacher of one of the recommended for Les Quennevais

:01:03.:01:08.

School in 2001 — and cash made available — but it never happened.

:01:08.:01:11.

Now the Education department has announced a rebuild in the west

:01:11.:01:15.

Now the Education department has the island could be on the cards.

:01:15.:01:17.

Since 1966 Les Quennevais school has been teaching students in the west

of the island. But while all the other states—run secondary schools

:01:20.:01:23.

have been majorly modernised and subjects taught today, and its too

:01:23.:01:31.

small for it's 800 students, nearly double the amount it was originally

:01:31.:01:38.

built for. We have chopped and changed things over the years to

:01:38.:01:49.

accommodate increased numbers but we haven't been able to accommodate the

:01:49.:01:52.

new curriculum. Since it was meant whole generations of children who

:01:52.:01:55.

have gone through before anything is even done. Those refurbishment plans

:01:55.:01:58.

were recommended in 2001 and cash was set aside. That is the real

:01:58.:02:00.

tragedy, for those young people was set aside. That is the real

:02:00.:02:03.

could have had something But due to other States priorities, the work

:02:03.:02:05.

never happened. Now the education minister says a rebuild is the only

:02:06.:02:12.

option. But you didn't. It is urgent that we crack on but because this is

:02:12.:02:18.

biggest investment in a secondary school for many, many years, we

side. And that site, he says is likely to be in St Brelade. If

:02:29.:02:32.

funding is secured and the project gets the go ahead work could start

Guernsey and Jersey won't be working together to create a new aircraft

their planes here — providing a attract private pilots to register

source of income for the Channel Islands. But it's been decided it

:02:49.:02:52.

isn't workable — prompting criticism from Jersey's Scrutiny Panel that

:02:52.:02:56.

Dozens of recordings of Guernsey French have been made as part of

:02:56.:03:20.

efforts to ensure the language doesn't die out. It's part of the

:03:20.:03:23.

work of the Island's newly formed Language Commission. They'd like to

do more but there isn't enough Getting in the party mood with a

our heritage to some visitors from Normandy. A place the Island has

:03:37.:03:42.

strong links to — not least because of the links with Guernsey French.

:03:42.:03:49.

And for those who still speak it, it was a chance for a bit of a natter

they're helping to keep the language going. As people who leave this

:04:00.:04:04.

world, who speak Guernsey French, it will be different in years to come.

:04:04.:04:07.

But everyone is trying to speak will be different in years to come.

:04:07.:04:10.

big it is wonderful to keep up the heritage and traditions of the

:04:10.:04:13.

island. But preserving Guernsey French in the long term requires

:04:13.:04:14.

more work. And these recordings French in the long term requires

:04:15.:04:21.

part of it. So far 40 people who speak it have helped created this

:04:21.:04:25.

audio database. Just part of the Island's new Language Commission's

:04:25.:04:34.

recording project if there are not many people left who speak the

:04:34.:04:37.

language and who speak it with sufficient fluency. We have come

across some people we were not aware of because of the publicity and

across some people we were not aware there are more people than we would

like to capture but we need to raise more money because that before we

can go and to the next phase. It should help ensure that even if

:04:57.:05:00.

fewer people speak patois, there's a good record of the language. But for

now, those that can are doing all You are watching the BBC in the

Channel Islands. Still to come, highlights of the air displays from

Guernsey and Jersey earlier today and later, why this man has run

Guernsey and Jersey earlier today length of Britain, carrying a seven

:05:24.:05:24.

You'll soon be seeing a lot more of some Guernsey sports stars than

:05:24.:05:33.

usual. A poster campaign has been launched, which sees the likes of

:05:33.:05:36.

Guernsey FC's Ryan Zico—Black and professional rugby player Luke Jones

strip off, to raise awareness of Hello, I'm Luke Jones from Guernsey.

differences with your balls, get to your doctor as quickly as possible.

:06:14.:06:17.

And this new video campaign, which was launched today, will take that

:06:17.:06:21.

message to the Island schools. Featuring some of the Island's

:06:21.:06:24.

sporting stars, it's backed up with posters, portraying a little more of

:06:24.:06:28.

them than we'd usually see. I had a scary few years ago. I know worry it

:06:28.:06:31.

can cause. It is so common with Lance as well. It is worth getting

hoping these pictures will make Lance as well. It is worth getting

know we're very good at that. The video itself is aimed at year eleven

students. And for the charity behind it using humour, and some role

is OK to talk about this and to right now, to get people thinking it

things that may save your life. So the message is out there, and is

:07:16.:07:26.

They say the show must go on and so it did! The annual Air Displays

:07:26.:07:40.

wowed crowds around the Channel Islands today — despite setbacks

:07:40.:07:43.

with some aircraft pulling out due What everyone had come to see. The

:07:43.:07:53.

Red Arrows entertaining the crowds. But earlier today it was still

:07:53.:07:57.

unclear if the show would go on after grey skies threatened the

:07:57.:08:03.

event. And the clouds soon lifted so the crowds could enjoy the sights

:08:03.:08:07.

and sounds of all kinds of military and stunt aircraft. Highlights of

:08:07.:08:10.

the show included the monstrously loud F—16. Even Condor couldn't

:08:10.:08:21.

Mustang. And jaws dropped as the daredevil wing walkers proved how

:08:21.:08:31.

brave they are. The wing walkers are wowing the crowd but what is it

:08:31.:08:34.

brave they are. The wing walkers are to be up there? Earlier, I asked

:08:34.:08:34.

them what what it was like. You to be up there? Earlier, I asked

:08:34.:08:39.

mad if you don't want to do it. to be up there? Earlier, I asked

:08:42.:08:44.

worlds best roller coasters and the best feeling ever. It's the

:08:44.:08:50.

just want to do it the time. And the Guernsey. In Jersey crowds lined the

:08:50.:08:54.

seafront and everybody's eyes were fixed on the rather cloudy sky.

:08:54.:08:59.

Among the first stars were these planes. They were followed by many

:08:59.:09:06.

more large and small aircraft. This wasn't meant to be part of the

:09:06.:09:09.

display. Like several others, it was drafted in at the last minute and

:09:09.:09:14.

the weather in the UK forced several of the original line—up, including

:09:14.:09:18.

the Battle of Britain Memorial flight, to be withdrawn from both

setback, the organiser had to borrow money against his own home to the

:09:24.:09:29.

show could go on. This is the worst cancellations. I'm pleased we have

:09:29.:09:34.

these planes displaying at the moment. The way we were losing them,

:09:34.:09:36.

I was beginning to wonder about moment. The way we were losing them,

:09:36.:09:39.

show. I was concerned about the weather but it has improved. And it

:09:39.:09:44.

seems the crowds agreed. Loving weather but it has improved. And it

:09:44.:09:50.

I love the F—16. I think that's amazing. I love the noise. When

:09:50.:09:56.

I love the F—16. I think that's older, I'm going to fly one of them.

:09:56.:09:58.

And keeping with tradition, the older, I'm going to fly one of them.

:09:58.:10:02.

arrows rounded off the air display in both islands. Always a crowd

:10:02.:10:11.

Hello. Good evening. It is going to turn much more autumnal over the

:10:11.:10:33.

conditions in the second half of the weekend ahead. Colder for the early

:10:33.:10:36.

part of next week. We have some patchy rain around tomorrow. We

:10:36.:10:39.

part of next week. We have some a lot of cloud, most of the day

:10:39.:10:41.

part of next week. We have some cloudy but misty at times with

:10:41.:10:43.

outbreaks of rain, perhaps more persistent rain into the evening.

:10:43.:10:48.

Staying generally quite mild. This weather system becomes slow moving

Eventually, especially in the second half of the day, that will all

or light rain possible overnight conditions. Temperature is no lower

:11:15.:11:23.

Tomorrow, briefly we may get some respite through the middle of the

:11:23.:11:27.

day but more persistent rain returns afternoon, it will be wet across the

:11:27.:11:38.

temperature. There is our coastal waters forecast. These are our times

:11:38.:11:57.

of high water. As for our surfers, there isn't a great deal. The surf

:11:57.:12:09.

is likely to be choppy. The outlook Saturday, after a cloudy start with

carried out to see if stocks can be replenished to allow the fishery to

:12:23.:12:39.

open next year. Still to come: The Antiques

:12:39.:12:48.

Roadshow comes to Exeter. Thousands turn up to get their treasures

:12:48.:12:51.

valued. Out of the frying pan and into the

:12:51.:12:57.

firing line as the apprentice comes to Axminster.

:12:57.:13:02.

Work is about to begin restoring the Lyme Regis home of the All

:13:02.:13:09.

third John macro who wrote The French Lieutenant's Woman. The

:13:09.:13:12.

house needs major repairs and it is also architecturally significant.

:13:12.:13:21.

The woman who lived there invented a form of artificial stone which

:13:21.:13:25.

revolutionised the eighteenth— century building industry.

:13:25.:13:31.

An 18th century advert by the first inhabitant of this house. An

:13:31.:13:38.

example of Elena code's cast stone. It enabled the stone to be made

:13:38.:13:43.

using —— using mouldings. The embellishments are all made of this

:13:44.:13:51.

fantastic stone. It worked on big and small mouldings and was widely

:13:51.:13:57.

used in the 18th and 19th centuries. But this seaside home is now in a

:13:57.:14:02.

sorry state of repair. The staircase got moved and changed

:14:02.:14:08.

over the years. It has been taken on by the The Landmark Trust which

:14:08.:14:14.

plans to repair and sympathetically let it as a holiday rental. Its

:14:14.:14:20.

last inhabitant was the 20th century author John macro. This is

:14:20.:14:26.

the loveliest room of the house. It was his writing room. It is now in

:14:26.:14:32.

a fairly dilapidated state and has serious structural problems as well.

:14:32.:14:40.

With views out over Lyme Bay, it is here that he finished his most

:14:40.:14:45.

famous novel. He described the cock a simply the most beautiful sea

:14:45.:14:50.

rampart on the south coast of England — Alison time but delicate.

:14:50.:14:57.

You can imagine him here on a wintry day as he described the

:14:57.:15:01.

French Lieutenant's woman. "the figure stood motion this staring

:15:01.:15:10.

out to see...". "a figure from myth more than a fragment of a petty

:15:10.:15:18.

provincial day." urgent repairs are due to start on this romantic Villa

:15:18.:15:21.

next month. We have bat so we need to time it

:15:21.:15:28.

very carefully note —— so as not to disturb them. The structural issues

:15:28.:15:33.

are such that we do not want to leave them another winter. Repairs

:15:33.:15:37.

come at a price. The trust has raised £1.3 million but it still

:15:38.:15:42.

needs another half a million to finish the job. When finished,

:15:42.:15:44.

there will also be a museum. For 36 years, they've been putting

:15:44.:16:07.

their prized possessions in front of the cameras.

:16:07.:16:11.

Today, Exeter was the backdrop for the Antiques Roadshow.

:16:12.:16:17.

The queues stretched around Cathedral Green with people hoping

:16:17.:16:21.

to unearth a hidden history or find a family fortune. They want to know

:16:21.:16:28.

if they keepsake is special. Has the programme's presenter ever

:16:28.:16:32.

brought something of heroin to be valued? Of course I have! You have

:16:32.:16:38.

to take advantage of working on this programme. One of the expat

:16:38.:16:44.

had a look at my engagement ring which I knew was Victorian. I had

:16:44.:16:50.

various bits and bobs that I brought along. None of any value

:16:50.:16:55.

whatsoever. Most objects have come from relatively humble home. But

:16:55.:17:02.

some are plucked from a much grander surroundings. This family

:17:02.:17:07.

has already appeared on Country House Rescue. I brought this bird

:17:07.:17:12.

along which is Tibetan with a crystal body and emeralds and

:17:12.:17:18.

sapphires and various other stones decorating it. Not hugely old,

:17:18.:17:28.

about turn of the century. It is very pretty. Eric Knowles had a

:17:28.:17:35.

close look at how artifacts and many more besides. We are natural

:17:35.:17:44.

borders. Heaven bless who invented the attic or the seller. ——

:17:44.:17:50.

hoarders. We live in an age when everything gets thrown away. I have

:17:50.:17:55.

to say thank you to everyone's ancestors to put things in lofts

:17:55.:18:02.

and keep me in a job. Were any masterpieces found today? You will

:18:02.:18:06.

have to wait to the programme is aired some time next year to find

:18:06.:18:09.

out. You'll probably all have seen the

:18:09.:18:19.

apprentice on TV. Well, a company in Axminster has taken at the idea

:18:19.:18:26.

and is using it to develop a team of management trainees.

:18:26.:18:29.

They have been split into two groups. The losers get to clean the

:18:29.:18:33.

warehouse. This is an amazing opportunity.

:18:33.:18:45.

One week, two teams and a boss to impress. I am in the market for 10

:18:45.:18:50.

new managers and they had better watch out. You got something very

:18:50.:18:57.

Warren here. What has happened? —— very wrong. He to impress at 10

:18:57.:19:06.

potential new managers. The stake is glory of failure but

:19:06.:19:12.

no one gets fired. Axminster tall centre is one of the

:19:12.:19:18.

biggest employers in the town —— tool centre. These managers of the

:19:18.:19:27.

future have a challenge to brand and market sausages. I was

:19:27.:19:35.

expecting them to sell lots of sausages and they have sold one

:19:35.:19:39.

metric tonne. That is a lot of sausages. I couldn't get to sleep

:19:40.:19:46.

and home at 9 o'clock at night. It has been full on and I have been

:19:47.:19:53.

thinking of sausages 24/7. For the sausage supplier, a brief to be

:19:53.:20:00.

tough. We had a meeting which was starchy and then when we did the

:20:00.:20:06.

production we were a little less hard on them, put it that way.

:20:06.:20:12.

There is a serious message behind this apprentice Style Challenge.

:20:12.:20:17.

The company takes its staff and his feature seriously. I have been

:20:17.:20:23.

there seven years. I have known it from a little shop in town to what

:20:23.:20:28.

it is now and it is exciting to be a prospect. I want to push it

:20:28.:20:33.

forward and make it bigger. The teams will be called to the

:20:33.:20:37.

boardroom at 730 tomorrow morning to find out who wins an all—

:20:37.:20:43.

expenses trip to London and to get to clean up the warehouse.

:20:43.:21:05.

Tony Phoenix—Morrison arrived in London this morning after

:21:05.:21:13.

completing a 1000 mile journey. He has raised money for charity and

:21:13.:21:19.

all of us asked, why? For some people, a 1000 mark job ——

:21:19.:21:30.

job would be quite a challenge. But Tony has done the journey with a

:21:30.:21:37.

fridge on his back. Then add the finishing line he adds a little

:21:37.:21:41.

extra weight, his seven—year—old son. He didn't run to raise money

:21:41.:21:47.

for so Bobby Robson's charity which raises money for research. Why a

:21:47.:21:53.

fridge? She wouldn't let me have the cooker. I wanted to carry

:21:53.:21:58.

something really heavy to demonstrate and signified the

:21:58.:22:04.

burden of cancer. If you have ever had a family member who has had

:22:04.:22:09.

cancer, you feel their burden. I wanted to take my burden along some

:22:09.:22:15.

impossible journey just like the impossible journey of cancer. He

:22:15.:22:20.

did much of his run with a hip injury after a fall. Despite

:22:20.:22:24.

needing treatment on route, he kept to his gruelling Schedule of 26

:22:24.:22:30.

miles per day. Him and his rich have completed other major runs on

:22:31.:22:37.

his back —— he and his fridge. His wife says he is unstoppable. It is

:22:38.:22:44.

amazing he managed to carry it for quite so many miles. He has put

:22:44.:22:50.

some miles in. When you put any pressure on him to give up? He has

:22:50.:22:57.

talked about it and I have it on camera. But every now and then I

:22:57.:23:02.

hear him talking about other little challenges. Today, he was handed a

:23:02.:23:09.

cheque for £43,000 from the company who made the fridge. But he is now

:23:09.:23:15.

off to the Great North Run where the funding —— fund—raising

:23:15.:23:20.

continues. Which way his Newcastle? Quite a feat, isn't it?

:23:20.:23:28.

You wouldn't manic two minutes with an oven on your back. —— you

:23:28.:23:33.

wouldn't managed two minutes. And now for the weather.

:23:33.:23:40.

Did he carry anything in the fridge? A glass of wine or so milk?

:23:40.:23:43.

Some sausages. Good evening. We have some change

:23:43.:23:56.

in the weather now. Summer has a very quickly drawn to a close. As

:23:56.:24:01.

we head through the weekend, we will see a drop in the temperatures

:24:01.:24:08.

as colder air floods in. It is mild at the moment although Misty in

:24:08.:24:14.

some places. This great string of cloud in the Atlantic has a weather

:24:14.:24:19.

system at wrapped around it that will be slow moving across us. It

:24:19.:24:25.

will generate outbreaks of rain tonight.

:24:25.:24:34.

Quite wet weather tomorrow, particularly in the evening. By

:24:34.:24:41.

Saturday, it has gone through so hopefully it will a bright and dry

:24:41.:24:47.

day. Short lived though because Sunday sees a change. You can see

:24:47.:24:54.

how the clout has been fairly extensive over the south—west today.

:24:54.:25:01.

The cloud has not stopped some of our heathers flowering. But the low

:25:01.:25:06.

cloud has thickened and it started to produce fog. Our cameraman got

:25:06.:25:14.

quite wet as the rain started to set in. The wind will become light

:25:14.:25:21.

and variable overnight but we hold on to all the clout say it is misty

:25:21.:25:27.
