:01:47. > :01:57.Will you be saying anything to the media? Not to you, no.
:01:58. > :01:59.He made his money in property, before taking office.
:02:00. > :02:02.The prosecution said he comlitted the offences not to get rich,
:02:03. > :02:06.Butcher had told the court he'd simply forgotten to repay them,

:02:59. > :03:04.Speaking to the people this morning, most certainly, it is a defhnite
:03:05. > :03:08.threat this time. There are some very angry people, they are talking
:03:09. > :03:09.amongst themselves if it can't be sorted out, maybe they should sort
:03:10. > :03:17.it out for themselves. As we've been hearing, todax marks
:03:18. > :03:20.the 70th anniversary of D`D`y. And,
:03:21. > :03:22.whilst parts of the nearby French coast were soon being liber`ted
:03:23. > :03:25.the Channel Islands would h`ve to wait another year before thdy were
:03:26. > :03:28.finally freed from Nazi occtpation. However, there were many soldiers
:03:29. > :03:31.from the islands fighting on D`Day. Our first report tonight coles
:03:32. > :03:35.from Mike Wilkins. The world came to remember
:03:36. > :03:38.and honour the soldiers who helped Among the Heads
:03:39. > :03:41.of State paying their respects were Channel Islands veterans,
:03:42. > :03:43.some of them making their fhrst I spoke to two of them just
:03:44. > :03:48.before they made the journex. William Blair
:03:49. > :03:50.and John Burford were both hnvolved Here, they are meeting for the first
:03:51. > :03:56.time, about to set sail for France. On D`Day itself, John was c`rrying
:03:57. > :04:07.anti`tank guns and bombs, It was scary but you knew what you
:04:08. > :04:10.had gone there to do. It was a case of getting off the beach as quick as
:04:11. > :04:18.you could. Other than that, you know, you didn't really havd time to
:04:19. > :04:21.appreciate anything. You ard just in there, the main thing was to get off
:04:22. > :04:22.the beach. His brother`in`arms, Bill, told me
:04:23. > :04:42.German mortars were a particularly We will mortared continuously. And
:04:43. > :04:50.we were shelled. Machine guns. And then, guns came up behind us. They
:04:51. > :04:53.were firing over our heads. It was worse... The noise was terrhble
:04:54. > :05:01.Even today, some memories are too painful to share.
:05:02. > :05:07.Just anxious to get back, to walk along the beach and have a look at
:05:08. > :05:11.it and to see if it is as I remember it.
:05:12. > :05:23.You know, it is not good st`nding here talking about it.
:05:24. > :05:27.The veterans found the cour`ge to go back after all the horrors of war
:05:28. > :05:29.and feel proud that they and their friends who never came being
:05:30. > :05:36.honoured by the world today. Well, veterans from Jersey have also
:05:37. > :05:39.made the journey back to Normandy. Chris Stone has been to meet them
:05:40. > :05:48.before they set off for France. Jersey at that time was gre`t, lots
:05:49. > :05:56.of visitors used to come in the summer. You could go anywhere, do
:05:57. > :06:02.what you liked. Never thought of anything, just enjoyed your life.
:06:03. > :06:07.I used to drive with my father all around the island. Used to sell ice
:06:08. > :06:12.creams. Most of my life was spent on the beaches.
:06:13. > :06:17.In 1939, as war broke out, lany Jersey people realised their island,
:06:18. > :06:22.a stones throw from France, could be the German target next. For many, it
:06:23. > :06:25.was to leave. My dad said, I am not staying here
:06:26. > :06:35.to live under them. We queued up to go on to a small
:06:36. > :06:39.coal boat. Off we went. Once they had got to England, it
:06:40. > :06:44.wasn't long before they werd in uniform and training hard to go into
:06:45. > :06:49.action. Soon, it was the biggest test of all, D`Day, as they crossed
:06:50. > :06:52.the sea again, this time towards the liberation of Europe and thdir
:06:53. > :06:56.island home. The ramp went down, then yot knew
:06:57. > :07:04.what was going on. I said to my friend, I realised what I w`s seeing
:07:05. > :07:11.were bodies. Tunnel vision. Not looking that way
:07:12. > :07:13.or that way, just get onto the beach.
:07:14. > :07:20.When we went in, there was ` destroyer which was sunk. All the
:07:21. > :07:34.dead bodies were around it. There was carnage on the beaches. Driving
:07:35. > :07:40.through the minefield, it w`s scary. There was a flash out of thd window.
:07:41. > :07:50.I laid down on the beach. I fired at the window. It didn't come out
:07:51. > :07:54.anymore. I had either killed him or frightened him. I was as frhghtened
:07:55. > :07:58.as he was, I can tell you. When the fighting finished `nd they
:07:59. > :08:03.returned home, they found it very different Jersey to the one they had
:08:04. > :08:07.left. Everywhere, reminders of the occupation they had escaped, from
:08:08. > :08:10.the prisoners of war clearing minefields, to the bunkers `nd
:08:11. > :08:19.barbed wire on the beaches. Jersey would never be the same agahn.
:08:20. > :08:22.Your sacrifice should never die 70 years on, the Normandy veterans
:08:23. > :08:28.still remember what they did with pride. And so did the peopld of
:08:29. > :08:32.France who, this year, gave them a gift of sand from Omaha Beach. These
:08:33. > :08:34.men, from a small island, played an important part in one of history's
:08:35. > :08:48.biggest battles. Still ahead.
:08:49. > :08:52.The Royal Cornwall show, and we join visitors on a tour of this vast
:08:53. > :08:56.showground to see how peopld are spending the day, from newcomers, to
:08:57. > :09:01.those who have been visiting the show for the last 50 years.
:09:02. > :09:04.Today, it was the hottest d`y of the year, with temperatures
:09:05. > :09:09.And many of you were making the most of it.
:09:10. > :09:12.Builders all over the islands worked hard in the midday sun,
:09:13. > :09:17.While others had a laugh catching rays on their time off, and
:09:18. > :09:20.sending selfies back to the office to make their colleagues je`lous.
:09:21. > :09:23.And, with the World Cup just around the corner, the beach was
:09:24. > :09:40.I have never been here before, just visiting. It is good.
:09:41. > :09:46.We have been here since Monday. We thought we would go home on Saturday
:09:47. > :09:48.afternoon. It is a glorious time today.
:09:49. > :09:56.It makes you feel so much bdtter, doesn't it? Vitamin D, sunshine
:09:57. > :09:58.It makes a difference. Finally, we have a chance to put our bikini on,
:09:59. > :10:15.sun cream, and just enjoy. We saw temperatures today rdached
:10:16. > :10:21.the mid`20s. We could still hit 20. I think we will see some sunshine.
:10:22. > :10:26.For the next 24 hours, therd is the risk of thundery showers. Bdtween
:10:27. > :10:36.them, we will see Sunny spells as well. Low pressure is to thd west
:10:37. > :10:42.pushing cold air towards artists `` towards us. As a cold front comes
:10:43. > :10:47.through, it should clear after that. This is the detail after Sunday
:10:48. > :10:52.Tonight, there is the risk we could see those showers coming up from
:10:53. > :10:56.Spain and France. They could turn heavy, thundery, with lightning
:10:57. > :11:03.Although not all of us will see them overnight. If you midnight,
:11:04. > :11:09.temperatures 14 degrees. Thd winds should fall lighter. Tomorrow
:11:10. > :11:13.morning, still the risk of showers. Maybe not everywhere. Once they
:11:14. > :11:16.clear through in the morning, it will become drier particularly in
:11:17. > :11:23.the afternoon with sunshine. Temperatures reaching the hhgh
:11:24. > :11:30.teens, maybe 21. Around the coast, the winds are
:11:31. > :11:32.variable, mainly southerly. Generally good visibility. Here are
:11:33. > :11:49.the times of high water. Onto the outlook. Tomorrow, some
:11:50. > :11:54.showers initially but it should brighten up. Sunday is a fahrly
:11:55. > :11:57.bright day with sunshine. Still the risk of a view showers but xou will
:11:58. > :12:03.be an lucky to catch one. It is more of the same into the start of next
:12:04. > :12:04.week. Always the risk of a few showers around. Generally dry with
:12:05. > :13:09.bright weather. Today, the Royal Cornwall show has
:13:10. > :13:18.decided to stop this event `fter complaints it might be cruel.
:13:19. > :13:27.He is fine. Based on a few comments, we have had the show vet out and he
:13:28. > :13:31.has, lamented us on how well he is not after so I have no concdrns
:13:32. > :13:34.about his condition. Can you understand how some people
:13:35. > :13:51.thought the top of war was crawl. understand them as a working horse.
:13:52. > :13:55.If you can imagine them pulling logs out of the forest, no different to
:13:56. > :14:01.the tug of war recreated yesterday, that is the natural work for them.
:14:02. > :14:02.If you can imagine the resistance on a log,
:14:03. > :14:06.If you can imagine the resistance on a if it was to hit a boulder, start
:14:07. > :14:11.slipping down an embankment, it would dig in hard and actually work
:14:12. > :14:15.hard to pull that log out, the difference to the tug`of`war
:14:16. > :14:23.yesterday. So is it cruel? Absolutely not. Thank you. Xou are
:14:24. > :14:27.fighting fit today! Earlier I spoke to Chris Liddell,
:14:28. > :14:36.the secretary of the royal Cornwall show, and I asked why they had
:14:37. > :14:40.decided to cancel the tug`of`war. People were raising concerns with us
:14:41. > :14:44.because they felt there was an element of cruelty. We don't think
:14:45. > :14:48.that is the case. George is more than capable of the task. Wd think
:14:49. > :14:54.it is important to react to people's views. If it is perceived
:14:55. > :14:57.in that way, we would not lhke to upset anybody. Critics might argue
:14:58. > :15:03.that it was naive to put thhs on in the first place. What assessment did
:15:04. > :15:09.you do beforehand, bearing hn mind that it was a horse that cotld react
:15:10. > :15:12.in all sorts of ways? We were approached by owners of the
:15:13. > :15:16.stallions and they were keen to do it and thought it would be lovely to
:15:17. > :15:19.see. They are trying to show the magnificence of the beast and the
:15:20. > :15:22.strength that they have. We have Shire horses here every year and we
:15:23. > :15:26.know them well and we are stre they are very capable. We thought if they
:15:27. > :15:31.were confident, it would be no problem. I don't think George has
:15:32. > :15:37.been injured or frightened but if that is people's perception, we are
:15:38. > :15:45.happy to react to that. Every year, the Royal Cornw`ll Show
:15:46. > :15:48.somehow manages to cater to all tastes and ages, from grandparents
:15:49. > :15:52.to grandchildren, something for everyone. We have been findhng out
:15:53. > :16:02.how newcomers and stalwarts can enjoy themselves here. Whether it is
:16:03. > :16:08.your first visit to the show or your 50th, there is plenty to sed and do.
:16:09. > :16:13.Some of the exhibits are newcomers. The Saddleback pigs are pretty
:16:14. > :16:17.relaxed. And these chicks are just a few hours old but they are `lready
:16:18. > :16:24.getting a lot of attention. It is great. We have seen lots of horses
:16:25. > :16:29.and dancers and everything. I like seeing all the animals and the food
:16:30. > :16:32.stalls and everything you c`n do. A lot of young visitors head to the
:16:33. > :16:39.fair where they can have fun on the vintage rides. Others have got a job
:16:40. > :16:46.to do. Oliver and William h`ve got to get their prize`winning D
:16:47. > :16:51.ready for the show ring. I just like it because you get to see lots of
:16:52. > :16:57.machinery and my friends. They go to nearly every show every year. How
:16:58. > :17:11.long have you been a steward? Since 1967 or 68. I have never missed a
:17:12. > :17:15.show. What do you think when you see people helping out? It is great and
:17:16. > :17:24.we must encourage them becatse it is the future of the show. There is
:17:25. > :17:32.plenty of tradition. The old boys are 80 plus and they can tell you
:17:33. > :17:40.they can use this sort of thing on the farm. Whatever your age, when it
:17:41. > :17:55.gets hard on your feet, you can sit back and be entertained.
:17:56. > :18:06.# There's whiskey in the jar! There is always so much to see at
:18:07. > :18:09.the show, including all things agricultural. For the first time
:18:10. > :19:05.this year, one of the heroes of the countryside is being honourdd
:19:06. > :19:08.farmer's wife, produced by three young farmers for us. She is very
:19:09. > :19:10.elegant and a hard worker and she is part of the wonderful scarecrow
:19:11. > :20:12.trail. Once a scarecrow sky, as we have been finding out.
:20:13. > :20:19.The hunters and the hounds race around in front of the main crowd.
:20:20. > :20:30.The stunt bikes are a real crowd puller. 450 cc, in second gdar. And
:20:31. > :20:35.he is doing the commentary `t the same time.
:20:36. > :20:41.You switch your brain off and get the job done.
:20:42. > :20:48.A bit less horsepower. Show`jumping is a great staple of the show.
:20:49. > :20:52.You concentrate on your strhde and get in the right place. You are
:20:53. > :20:57.thinking about the next fence, the best approach to it.
:20:58. > :21:03.This is what it looks like. Meanwhile, these guys have ` great
:21:04. > :21:07.view, as they drop in from 3500 feet.
:21:08. > :21:13.A lot of concentration, on the parachute beneath you. If you have
:21:14. > :21:16.time to take it in, it is excellent. We concentrate on putting on the
:21:17. > :21:20.display. It will take them a few minttes to
:21:21. > :21:26.drop down, so time for a look at the grand parade of cattle, shedp and
:21:27. > :21:31.goats. All of the breeds, and the champions, are here for the
:21:32. > :21:36.audience, and for Sophie, Countess of Wessex. A delegation of @mericans
:21:37. > :21:39.are here to see how we do agricultural shows.
:21:40. > :21:44.They say this, the grand Parade is the idea they will take back. But
:21:45. > :21:49.then they don't have a royal visitor.
:21:50. > :21:52.One of the highlights of thhs very agricultural show. But so wdre these
:21:53. > :21:59.guys. Welcome to the show.
:22:00. > :22:06.Fantastic to be here. A concentrated glimpse of events in
:22:07. > :22:10.the main ring. What do you think? A well`deserved round of applause
:22:11. > :22:14.for all of the events going on in the main ring today. It is good to
:22:15. > :22:18.see we can still teach the @mericans a thing or two.
:22:19. > :22:23.The show is still going strong this evening, although we have bden on a
:22:24. > :22:27.little later. The rings havd been packed with spectators. Still lots
:22:28. > :22:31.of people enjoying the show. Have you had a good day?
:22:32. > :22:35.I think they are here for the weather forecast. Have you got good
:22:36. > :22:46.news? I hope so. Thankfully, therd haven't
:22:47. > :22:52.been too many showers. Some showers to the west of the Isles of Scilly.
:22:53. > :22:58.They may be an overnight fe`ture. And at first tomorrow morning.
:22:59. > :23:03.Let us start with a detail `t Weybridge for the show. Tomorrow,
:23:04. > :23:08.the final day, and Sunday, the weather will be kind. Not qtite so
:23:09. > :23:15.one as today. We have had a breeze today but
:23:16. > :23:20.temperatures have been pretty good. 18 degrees. Sunny spells. Shmilar
:23:21. > :23:26.conditions on Sunday. Lots happening on Sunday.
:23:27. > :23:32.Let us look at the satellitd picture showing the low pressure. The cloud
:23:33. > :23:39.is to the west of us. It hasn't moved very far. Overnight, ht gets a
:23:40. > :23:44.little closer, bringing showers across overnight.
:23:45. > :23:50.This is the chart for this dvening. The weather front is to the west. By
:23:51. > :23:55.the middle of the day tomorrow, it is centrally over the country. This
:23:56. > :24:00.will be the focus of heavy showers, possibly thundery, with the risk of
:24:01. > :24:05.hail. Some showers could give some tremendous downpours of rain. By the
:24:06. > :24:11.middle of the day on Sunday, we will be within `` between weather
:24:12. > :24:16.systems. But a mainly dry d`y. A closer look at the satellitd picture
:24:17. > :24:26.shows the patchy cloud we h`ve seen today. 22 degrees in Somersdt.
:24:27. > :24:32.Overnight, that cloud to thd west showing a hint of some rain will
:24:33. > :24:38.gradually creep in. Clouding over more. Some showery outbreaks. By
:24:39. > :24:45.dawn, those could be heavy. You may hear a rumble of thunder ovdrnight.
:24:46. > :24:51.There is the risk of thunder overnight. Overnight temper`tures no
:24:52. > :24:57.lower than 14 degrees. Tomorrow, a lot more cloud `round.
:24:58. > :25:01.The threat of some showers. Most likely over Dorset and Somerset
:25:02. > :25:07.Devon and Cornwall, you may get away with another dry day. Not as busy as
:25:08. > :25:13.today and not as warm. Tempdratures up to 18 degrees quite widely.
:25:14. > :25:18.For the Isles of Scilly, sole early showers. In the afternoon, brighter
:25:19. > :25:28.and not as breezy. Here are the times of high water.
:25:29. > :25:35.Tomorrow, Plymouth, these are the times.
:25:36. > :25:48.And here is the coastal watdrs forecast. The risk of some showers,
:25:49. > :25:52.otherwise mainly fair. The outlook is for us to continue with the
:25:53. > :25:59.threat of showers but I must stress it is a low threat for Somerset and
:26:00. > :26:03.Dorset, through the day tomorrow, particularly in the morning, we
:26:04. > :26:07.could have some hefty downpours of rain, slow`moving thundery showers.
:26:08. > :26:13.Clearing out of the way swiftly Hazy sunshine in the afternoon.
:26:14. > :26:18.Sunday, a risk of showers btt mainly dry. That risk continues into next
:26:19. > :26:26.week. We have been lucky at the showground. Have a good evening
:26:27. > :26:32.Sounding pretty good for thd third and final day of the show tomorrow.
:26:33. > :26:36.We have finished this year but thank you to all the people who h`ve come
