:06:12. > :06:14.bang, this video is accompanying Heritage Festival, a new event
:06:15. > :06:19.designed to attract more people to the island. Places like Castle
:06:20. > :06:22.Cornet are very popular and get around 50,000 visitors each year,
:06:23. > :06:26.but tourism bosses are keen for more of the island and its history to be
:06:27. > :06:30.explored. And it certainly needs to do something. The number of visitors
:06:31. > :06:36.staying in Guernsey fell by 3% in 2013 compared to the previous year.
:06:37. > :06:46.But will focusing on a small island with a big history be enough to
:06:47. > :06:51.encourage more tourists? Very helpful that it will attract lots of
:06:52. > :06:54.visitors. We are making the most of the established events that take
:06:55. > :06:59.place, liberation day in the literary festival, but we now have
:07:00. > :07:04.35 days of activities and events that will appeal to all of the
:07:05. > :07:09.family, and we are hoping that we will see many more visitors coming
:07:10. > :07:14.over to the island and enjoying the island and everything it has to
:07:15. > :07:17.offer from a heritage perspective. Some feel that Guernsey doesn't do
:07:18. > :07:21.enough to promote its ancient and modern history. But now it's trying.
:07:22. > :07:24.And it'll ultimately be the visitor numbers that'll decide if this

:08:22. > :08:23.nearly 70 years since the Channel Islands were liberated, but stories
:08:24. > :08:26.of the occupation are still being uncovered. Archaeologists are in
:08:27. > :08:30.Jersey this week excavating the site of a former World War Two German
:08:31. > :08:34.camp. It's the first time anyone has unearthed a slave or forced labour
:08:35. > :08:37.camp in the Channel Islands, and as Emma Chambers reports, the findings
:08:38. > :08:39.are revealing stories that may have been lost over the years.
:08:40. > :08:43.I think the two most impressive features in this camp are the two
:08:44. > :08:46.entrance posts, but what's interesting about them is there's a
:08:47. > :08:50.single strand of barbed wire going around this one and on this one
:08:51. > :08:53.there is double strands of wire, and I think that's because security
:08:54. > :08:55.didn't need to be so tight around the camp.
:08:56. > :08:59.A scary insight into life as a forced labour worker. For years this
:09:00. > :09:05.has all been hidden under ivy and trees, but has now been unearthed by
:09:06. > :09:09.a group of archaeologists. Dr Gilly Carr and her team are digging into
:09:10. > :09:15.the history of Lager Wick, a former German camp situated here on
:09:16. > :09:18.Grouville Marsh. It's the only site left from the Occupation that's not
:09:19. > :09:21.been destroyed or built on, so evidence of those who were forced to
:09:22. > :09:27.live and work here have been preserved. We were coming up with a
:09:28. > :09:33.member of these yesterday. I think there were two dominant vessels, and
:09:34. > :09:36.one of them is a basin, a dish kind of vessel, and the other one is a
:09:37. > :09:41.job, and it talks about people pouring water into a jog to get
:09:42. > :09:44.washed in the morning. This excavation is the first of its
:09:45. > :09:48.kind in the Channel Islands. What has been found from this site could
:09:49. > :09:51.be displayed in a museum, so the visible evidence of those forced to
:09:52. > :09:58.work will not fall through the island's history. Beautifully

:12:53. > :12:54.created. From Portland, Spotlight's environment correspondent Adrian
:12:55. > :12:57.Campbell reports. Portland Harbour says it's well
:12:58. > :13:00.placed to benefit from the ?3.5 billion wind farm being planned off
:13:01. > :13:04.the coast of Dorset. The wind farm would be situated between Portland
:13:05. > :13:07.and the Isle of Wight. If it passes all the necessary planning hurdles,
:13:08. > :13:12.it's set to have just under 200 turbines which the developers say
:13:13. > :13:16.will power more than 700,000 homes. Portland Port says it has much to
:13:17. > :13:20.gain. We will see vessels such as this,
:13:21. > :13:23.and larger, coming in and out, taking the assembled wind turbines
:13:24. > :13:26.out offshore ` that will last three to five years. Beyond that, you have

:13:36. > :13:38.It may be well situated to take advantage of any business
:13:39. > :13:42.opportunities from the creation of a wind farm between here and the Isle

:13:45. > :13:50.Environmentalists have concerns about the possible impact on birds

:13:59. > :14:02.to be able to go through what would be a very thick document, and look
:14:03. > :14:06.at it in detail because, at the moment, it's hard to judge whether
:14:07. > :14:07.this is going to be a good project or a bad project for the
:14:08. > :14:11.environment. A large wind farm off Dorset does
:14:12. > :14:13.offer some economic benefits to the county, but environmental
:14:14. > :14:23.campaigners say any planning decision shouldn't be rushed, as
:14:24. > :14:26.there is too much at stake. The brother of Alan Jeal, whose body

:16:54. > :16:56.only can we make these carpets,we can put these colour features in so

:17:01. > :17:03.various types of edging to create a complement that goes with your wall
:17:04. > :17:07.colourings or your wallpaper coverings, as we have done here. We
:17:08. > :17:16.can do this in a whole variety of ways, which makes an almost bespoke
:17:17. > :17:27.offering for our customers. It's really really exciting. We've
:17:28. > :17:31.repainted, got a new carpet. Finally, we've got these lovely room
:17:32. > :17:33.sets that people can come in, and it's been very well received by

:19:53. > :19:54.Maxine Blanchard sent off for a second caution. He misses the next
:19:55. > :19:58.few games. Moving to St James Park, Exeter City
:19:59. > :20:00.have been dragged into that danger area. How serious is it for Exeter
:20:01. > :20:03.now? It was a disappointing game. It
:20:04. > :20:06.didn't flow. It was uncomfortable. Jordan Moore Taylor gets a great
:20:07. > :20:10.finish. He capped off a great game. He was fantastic all day. But the
:20:11. > :20:14.shameless defending at the end of it was disappointing as well. When the
:20:15. > :20:18.actual ball is bouncing about, one of the defenders has now got to go
:20:19. > :20:22.and stop the ball. Stop the shot, and then clear the ball. They don't
:20:23. > :20:25.do that and they concede and end up equalising. That goal was really
:20:26. > :20:27.important, because now they are in the mix.
:20:28. > :20:30.They are only two points above the bottom two relegation places, one of
:20:31. > :20:34.which is occupied by Torquay United. Is it too little too late after
:20:35. > :20:38.their win at Bristol Rovers? For me, yes. It's disappointing.
:20:39. > :20:44.Coulthirst scores a fantastic goal. Shaquile Coulthirst, on loan from
:20:45. > :20:48.Tottenham. He ends up getting a great shot off to Mansell. He gets
:20:49. > :20:53.his shot off, and hopefully a stroke of luck, he gets a second goal. But
:20:54. > :20:55.I think it's a bit too little too late.
:20:56. > :21:01.Hopefully, they go down in a blaze of glory.
:21:02. > :21:07.That's going to be a massive game on Easter Monday, Exeter versus
:21:08. > :21:10.Torquay. Can wait! Exeter Chiefs occupy seventh spot in
:21:11. > :21:13.rugby's Premiership ` a place which could see them contest the play`off
:21:14. > :21:19.for entry to next season's new`look European Cup.
:21:20. > :21:23.Their 38`33 win at bottom club Worcester Warriors was only Exeter's
:21:24. > :21:26.second league victory of the year. Hooker Jack Yeandle went over twice
:21:27. > :21:29.as the Chiefs outscored Worcester by five tries to four. Dave Lewis, Sam
:21:30. > :21:32.Hill and Gareth Steenson also scored to open up a 21`3 advantage at one
:21:33. > :21:34.point. Somerset's County Championship
:21:35. > :21:43.cricket opener against Yorkshire at Taunton is producing a feast of
:21:44. > :21:46.runs. Last years runners`up posted a total
:21:47. > :21:50.of 450 earlier today, with Somerset xxx for x in reply. North Devon's
:21:51. > :22:01.Craig Overton took three wickets in Yorkshire's first innings.
:22:02. > :22:05.`` 166 for three. A new diving academy, bearing the
:22:06. > :22:08.name of Plymouth's Tom Daley, hopes to unearth more top divers. The Tom
:22:09. > :22:12.Daley Diving Academy will be mainly based at his new headquarters in
:22:13. > :22:14.London, but courses will also run up and down the country. The
:22:15. > :22:17.19`year`old is currently training for the Diving World Series event.
:22:18. > :22:21.Finally, don't forget Late Kick Off tonight at 11.30pm when they feature
:22:22. > :22:23.Torquay United at Bristol Rovers and Gordon Sparks' 30 years as a
:22:24. > :22:53.commentator for Plymouth Argyle. That's on BBC One.
:22:54. > :22:55.U2 are naughty this evening! `` you two.
:22:56. > :22:57.Members of Sidmouth's lifeboat crew have completed their cycle tour of
:22:58. > :23:01.the British coastline raising money for a new back`up boat for the town.
:23:02. > :23:04.The town's lifeboat has been independently funded since the RNLI
:23:05. > :23:07.pulled out of the station in the 1920's. The crew has visited other
:23:08. > :23:10.independent lifeboat stations around the country as part of a fund
:23:11. > :23:12.raising challenge. Emma Ruminski reports.
:23:13. > :23:15.Returning home after 2,500 miles in the saddle. Three members of the
:23:16. > :23:16.Sidmouth Lifeboats cycled into town after their marathon fundraising
:23:17. > :23:20.effort. Really proud of what the guys have
:23:21. > :23:23.done. And the money we've raised for the boat. It's been excellent.
:23:24. > :23:29.Lifeboat crews all over the world have to show qualities of courage,
:23:30. > :23:33.persistence, duty... They hardly sound like slobs. But
:23:34. > :23:36.that's the name they chose for themselves, shorthand for Sidmouth
:23:37. > :23:39.Lifeboat On Bikes. They've spent the last two weeks cycling around the UK
:23:40. > :23:43.visiting other independent lifeboat stations around the country. The aim
:23:44. > :23:50.was to raise money to pay for a new support boat back home.
:23:51. > :24:01.Well, basically, this is our main boat here. It's difficult to get
:24:02. > :24:07.enough time for all the trainees on this boat. So, what we decided to do
:24:08. > :24:16.is to buy a new boat... Which could be used for the training.
:24:17. > :24:20.The local residents here in Sidmouth have had a long association with the
:24:21. > :24:26.lifeboat. They stepped in to fund it when in 1912 the RNLI pulled out.
:24:27. > :24:29.They're responsible for the area between Axmouth and Budleigh
:24:30. > :24:32.Salterton about 30 shouts a year. BBC Radio Devon's Judi Spiers
:24:33. > :24:35.awarded the cyclist their well earned medals. A cheque was also
:24:36. > :24:50.presented from a local bequest which will take the total raised to around
:24:51. > :24:53.?15,000.``` ?15,000. Weather`wise it's been a great day
:24:54. > :24:57.today with unbroken sunshine across much of the region These pictures of
:24:58. > :25:00.the Grand Western Canal Tiverton today were shot by our cameraman
:25:01. > :25:03.Alec Collyer. Great weather for the wildlife there and for those out
:25:04. > :25:05.enjoying the sunshine too. So what of tonight and tomorrow's weather?
:25:06. > :25:12.Well Ian Ferguson has the details. Hello, good evening. A pattern of
:25:13. > :25:16.high pressure dominating the pattern out for a few days to come. A good
:25:17. > :25:19.deal of dry, settled and fine weather. Just subtleties really in
:25:20. > :25:22.terms of the changes of wind direction, and the amount of cloud
:25:23. > :25:27.that may come and go. This evening and tonight, we got clear skies all
:25:28. > :25:30.the way. A recipe for a chilly night with a touch of Frost. Tomorrow, the
:25:31. > :25:33.flow will start coming from the south to south`east. The south coast
:25:34. > :25:36.was the slightly depressed temperatures versus the northern
:25:37. > :25:40.coasts who will see the hire of the temperatures. For the rest of this
:25:41. > :25:43.evening and tonight, a good deal of sunshine across the board, including
:25:44. > :25:46.down through the Channel Islands. As we continue into the nights, we'll
:25:47. > :25:49.find that some Frost continues to form fairly widely inland. Maybe
:25:50. > :25:52.some fog through the Exe Valley, for example, with a little bit of missed
:25:53. > :25:55.elsewhere. Broadly speaking, it's going to be clear skies by tomorrow.
:25:56. > :25:59.Temperatures will have dropped down to values a good steel lower than
:26:00. > :26:03.the values you are seeing there, I suspect. We could be as low as two
:26:04. > :26:06.or three Celsius. A touch of Frost quite likely. Tomorrow, a case of
:26:07. > :26:11.watching how the skies develop. If we lose any of the fog and low
:26:12. > :26:15.cloud, we will all be in the same boat with a good deal of sunshine.
:26:16. > :26:18.With that breeze coming in from the southern quarter, it will be the
:26:19. > :26:21.south coast that sees the temperature is just that little bit
:26:22. > :26:24.down compared to today. Maybe by two or three degrees. The North will
:26:25. > :26:26.have the highest temperatures, including the Channel Islands.
:26:27. > :26:30.Here's how those temperatures should settle ` around 12 degrees, getting
:26:31. > :26:33.up to 15 as we head towards the northern coast of Cornwall. 13
:26:34. > :26:36.Celsius will be fairly typical across the Channel Islands. A
:26:37. > :26:39.similar story as we get through to Wednesday. There will generally be
:26:40. > :26:41.more cloud around as we move towards Thursday and Friday, but nonetheless
:26:42. > :27:13.a good deal of dry weather. That's it from me. Goodbye. Welcome
:27:14. > :27:17.to the South West if you are on holiday at the moment.
