Good evening. The headlines. Guilty on ten counts, the former Jdrsey | :00:10. | :00:18. | |
politician who used parish loney to buy things for himself. | :00:19. | :00:22. | |
Will you be saying anything to the media? | :00:23. | :00:22. | |
Not to you, no. The D`Day veterans from the | :00:23. | :00:25. | |
Channel Islands, remembering All I can remember is a destroyer | :00:26. | :00:36. | |
which sunk. All the dead bodies around it. | :00:37. | :00:40. | |
The hottest day of the year so far in the Channel Islands but will last | :00:41. | :00:44. | |
through the weekend? Stay ttned for the full forecast. | :00:45. | :00:52. | |
A former Jersey politician has been found guilty of misconduct | :00:53. | :00:54. | |
Graeme Butcher, who was Constable of St John until 2011, used the | :00:55. | :00:59. | |
parish credit card to buy things for himself, including a satellite | :01:00. | :01:02. | |
Graeme Butcher worked here hn St John for nearly five years. | :01:03. | :01:14. | |
As Constable, he was responsible for colldcting | :01:15. | :01:15. | |
What his parishioners didn't know was that he was using their money to | :01:16. | :01:20. | |
buy things for himself, including an oven, computer equipment and timber. | :01:21. | :01:23. | |
He'd even bought a satellitd dish for his second home in France. | :01:24. | :01:30. | |
When St John officials went through the accounts in 2011, | :01:31. | :01:33. | |
Today, the former Father of the Parish was convicted on ten counts | :01:34. | :01:42. | |
He didn't want to talk on his way out of court tod`y, | :01:43. | :01:46. | |
Will you be saying anything to the media? Not to you, no. | :01:47. | :01:57. | |
He made his money in property, before taking office. | :01:58. | :01:59. | |
The prosecution said he comlitted the offences not to get rich, | :02:00. | :02:02. | |
Butcher had told the court he'd simply forgotten to repay them, | :02:03. | :02:06. | |
but the jury agreed it happdned too often to be simple oversights. | :02:07. | :02:09. | |
He's repaid all the money btt, when he returns to the Royal Court next | :02:10. | :02:13. | |
month for sentencing, the Crown says it will push for a prison sdntence. | :02:14. | :02:19. | |
A man who used an eight`inch knife to try to rob a superlarket | :02:20. | :02:22. | |
Calum Robert Hunt attacked the Val Plaisant Co`op in Jersex in what | :02:23. | :02:27. | |
the judge called a "serious offence that no community can toler`te. | :02:28. | :02:30. | |
The 21`year`old was jailed for three`and`a`half years. | :02:31. | :02:35. | |
Government workers in Guernsey are threatening to act, | :02:36. | :02:38. | |
unless more is done to improve their pay conditions. | :02:39. | :02:41. | |
States Works and Guernsey's Health Social Services Department dmployees | :02:42. | :02:44. | |
met with the Unite union today, to discuss a States offer | :02:45. | :02:47. | |
The union representative saxs his members are very angry. | :02:48. | :02:58. | |
Speaking to the people this morning, most certainly, it is a defhnite | :02:59. | :03:04. | |
threat this time. There are some very angry people, they are talking | :03:05. | :03:08. | |
amongst themselves if it can't be sorted out, maybe they should sort | :03:09. | :03:09. | |
it out for themselves. As we've been hearing, todax marks | :03:10. | :03:17. | |
the 70th anniversary of D`D`y. And, | :03:18. | :03:20. | |
whilst parts of the nearby French coast were soon being liber`ted | :03:21. | :03:22. | |
the Channel Islands would h`ve to wait another year before thdy were | :03:23. | :03:25. | |
finally freed from Nazi occtpation. However, there were many soldiers | :03:26. | :03:28. | |
from the islands fighting on D`Day. Our first report tonight coles | :03:29. | :03:31. | |
from Mike Wilkins. The world came to remember | :03:32. | :03:35. | |
and honour the soldiers who helped Among the Heads | :03:36. | :03:38. | |
of State paying their respects were Channel Islands veterans, | :03:39. | :03:41. | |
some of them making their fhrst I spoke to two of them just | :03:42. | :03:43. | |
before they made the journex. William Blair | :03:44. | :03:48. | |
and John Burford were both hnvolved Here, they are meeting for the first | :03:49. | :03:50. | |
time, about to set sail for France. On D`Day itself, John was c`rrying | :03:51. | :03:56. | |
anti`tank guns and bombs, It was scary but you knew what you | :03:57. | :04:07. | |
had gone there to do. It was a case of getting off the beach as quick as | :04:08. | :04:10. | |
you could. Other than that, you know, you didn't really havd time to | :04:11. | :04:18. | |
appreciate anything. You ard just in there, the main thing was to get off | :04:19. | :04:21. | |
the beach. His brother`in`arms, Bill, told me | :04:22. | :04:22. | |
German mortars were a particularly We will mortared continuously. And | :04:23. | :04:42. | |
we were shelled. Machine guns. And then, guns came up behind us. They | :04:43. | :04:50. | |
were firing over our heads. It was worse... The noise was terrhble | :04:51. | :04:53. | |
Even today, some memories are too painful to share. | :04:54. | :05:01. | |
Just anxious to get back, to walk along the beach and have a look at | :05:02. | :05:07. | |
it and to see if it is as I remember it. | :05:08. | :05:11. | |
You know, it is not good st`nding here talking about it. | :05:12. | :05:23. | |
The veterans found the cour`ge to go back after all the horrors of war | :05:24. | :05:27. | |
and feel proud that they and their friends who never came being | :05:28. | :05:29. | |
honoured by the world today. Well, veterans from Jersey have also | :05:30. | :05:36. | |
made the journey back to Normandy. Chris Stone has been to meet them | :05:37. | :05:39. | |
before they set off for France. Jersey at that time was gre`t, lots | :05:40. | :05:48. | |
of visitors used to come in the summer. You could go anywhere, do | :05:49. | :05:56. | |
what you liked. Never thought of anything, just enjoyed your life. | :05:57. | :06:02. | |
I used to drive with my father all around the island. Used to sell ice | :06:03. | :06:07. | |
creams. Most of my life was spent on the beaches. | :06:08. | :06:12. | |
In 1939, as war broke out, lany Jersey people realised their island, | :06:13. | :06:17. | |
a stones throw from France, could be the German target next. For many, it | :06:18. | :06:22. | |
was to leave. My dad said, I am not staying here | :06:23. | :06:25. | |
to live under them. We queued up to go on to a small | :06:26. | :06:35. | |
coal boat. Off we went. Once they had got to England, it | :06:36. | :06:39. | |
wasn't long before they werd in uniform and training hard to go into | :06:40. | :06:44. | |
action. Soon, it was the biggest test of all, D`Day, as they crossed | :06:45. | :06:49. | |
the sea again, this time towards the liberation of Europe and thdir | :06:50. | :06:52. | |
island home. The ramp went down, then yot knew | :06:53. | :06:56. | |
what was going on. I said to my friend, I realised what I w`s seeing | :06:57. | :07:04. | |
were bodies. Tunnel vision. Not looking that way | :07:05. | :07:11. | |
or that way, just get onto the beach. | :07:12. | :07:13. | |
When we went in, there was ` destroyer which was sunk. All the | :07:14. | :07:20. | |
dead bodies were around it. There was carnage on the beaches. Driving | :07:21. | :07:34. | |
through the minefield, it w`s scary. There was a flash out of thd window. | :07:35. | :07:40. | |
I laid down on the beach. I fired at the window. It didn't come out | :07:41. | :07:50. | |
anymore. I had either killed him or frightened him. I was as frhghtened | :07:51. | :07:54. | |
as he was, I can tell you. When the fighting finished `nd they | :07:55. | :07:58. | |
returned home, they found it very different Jersey to the one they had | :07:59. | :08:03. | |
left. Everywhere, reminders of the occupation they had escaped, from | :08:04. | :08:07. | |
the prisoners of war clearing minefields, to the bunkers `nd | :08:08. | :08:10. | |
barbed wire on the beaches. Jersey would never be the same agahn. | :08:11. | :08:19. | |
Your sacrifice should never die 70 years on, the Normandy veterans | :08:20. | :08:22. | |
still remember what they did with pride. And so did the peopld of | :08:23. | :08:28. | |
France who, this year, gave them a gift of sand from Omaha Beach. These | :08:29. | :08:32. | |
men, from a small island, played an important part in one of history's | :08:33. | :08:34. | |
biggest battles. Still ahead. | :08:35. | :08:48. | |
The Royal Cornwall show, and we join visitors on a tour of this vast | :08:49. | :08:52. | |
showground to see how peopld are spending the day, from newcomers, to | :08:53. | :08:56. | |
those who have been visiting the show for the last 50 years. | :08:57. | :09:01. | |
Today, it was the hottest d`y of the year, with temperatures | :09:02. | :09:04. | |
And many of you were making the most of it. | :09:05. | :09:09. | |
Builders all over the islands worked hard in the midday sun, | :09:10. | :09:12. | |
While others had a laugh catching rays on their time off, and | :09:13. | :09:17. | |
sending selfies back to the office to make their colleagues je`lous. | :09:18. | :09:20. | |
And, with the World Cup just around the corner, the beach was | :09:21. | :09:23. | |
I have never been here before, just visiting. It is good. | :09:24. | :09:40. | |
We have been here since Monday. We thought we would go home on Saturday | :09:41. | :09:46. | |
afternoon. It is a glorious time today. | :09:47. | :09:48. | |
It makes you feel so much bdtter, doesn't it? Vitamin D, sunshine | :09:49. | :09:56. | |
It makes a difference. Finally, we have a chance to put our bikini on, | :09:57. | :09:58. | |
sun cream, and just enjoy. We saw temperatures today rdached | :09:59. | :10:15. | |
the mid`20s. We could still hit 20. I think we will see some sunshine. | :10:16. | :10:21. | |
For the next 24 hours, therd is the risk of thundery showers. Bdtween | :10:22. | :10:26. | |
them, we will see Sunny spells as well. Low pressure is to thd west | :10:27. | :10:36. | |
pushing cold air towards artists `` towards us. As a cold front comes | :10:37. | :10:42. | |
through, it should clear after that. This is the detail after Sunday | :10:43. | :10:47. | |
Tonight, there is the risk we could see those showers coming up from | :10:48. | :10:52. | |
Spain and France. They could turn heavy, thundery, with lightning | :10:53. | :10:56. | |
Although not all of us will see them overnight. If you midnight, | :10:57. | :11:03. | |
temperatures 14 degrees. Thd winds should fall lighter. Tomorrow | :11:04. | :11:09. | |
morning, still the risk of showers. Maybe not everywhere. Once they | :11:10. | :11:13. | |
clear through in the morning, it will become drier particularly in | :11:14. | :11:16. | |
the afternoon with sunshine. Temperatures reaching the hhgh | :11:17. | :11:23. | |
teens, maybe 21. Around the coast, the winds are | :11:24. | :11:30. | |
variable, mainly southerly. Generally good visibility. Here are | :11:31. | :11:32. | |
the times of high water. Onto the outlook. Tomorrow, some | :11:33. | :11:49. | |
showers initially but it should brighten up. Sunday is a fahrly | :11:50. | :11:54. | |
bright day with sunshine. Still the risk of a view showers but xou will | :11:55. | :11:57. | |
be an lucky to catch one. It is more of the same into the start of next | :11:58. | :12:03. | |
week. Always the risk of a few showers around. Generally dry with | :12:04. | :12:04. | |
bright weather. Today, the Royal Cornwall show has | :12:05. | :13:09. | |
decided to stop this event `fter complaints it might be cruel. | :13:10. | :13:18. | |
He is fine. Based on a few comments, we have had the show vet out and he | :13:19. | :13:27. | |
has, lamented us on how well he is not after so I have no concdrns | :13:28. | :13:31. | |
about his condition. Can you understand how some people | :13:32. | :13:34. | |
thought the top of war was crawl. understand them as a working horse. | :13:35. | :13:51. | |
If you can imagine them pulling logs out of the forest, no different to | :13:52. | :13:55. | |
the tug of war recreated yesterday, that is the natural work for them. | :13:56. | :14:01. | |
If you can imagine the resistance on a log, | :14:02. | :14:02. | |
If you can imagine the resistance on a if it was to hit a boulder, start | :14:03. | :14:06. | |
slipping down an embankment, it would dig in hard and actually work | :14:07. | :14:11. | |
hard to pull that log out, the difference to the tug`of`war | :14:12. | :14:15. | |
yesterday. So is it cruel? Absolutely not. Thank you. Xou are | :14:16. | :14:23. | |
fighting fit today! Earlier I spoke to Chris Liddell, | :14:24. | :14:27. | |
the secretary of the royal Cornwall show, and I asked why they had | :14:28. | :14:36. | |
decided to cancel the tug`of`war. People were raising concerns with us | :14:37. | :14:40. | |
because they felt there was an element of cruelty. We don't think | :14:41. | :14:44. | |
that is the case. George is more than capable of the task. Wd think | :14:45. | :14:48. | |
it is important to react to people's views. If it is perceived | :14:49. | :14:54. | |
in that way, we would not lhke to upset anybody. Critics might argue | :14:55. | :14:57. | |
that it was naive to put thhs on in the first place. What assessment did | :14:58. | :15:03. | |
you do beforehand, bearing hn mind that it was a horse that cotld react | :15:04. | :15:09. | |
in all sorts of ways? We were approached by owners of the | :15:10. | :15:12. | |
stallions and they were keen to do it and thought it would be lovely to | :15:13. | :15:16. | |
see. They are trying to show the magnificence of the beast and the | :15:17. | :15:19. | |
strength that they have. We have Shire horses here every year and we | :15:20. | :15:22. | |
know them well and we are stre they are very capable. We thought if they | :15:23. | :15:26. | |
were confident, it would be no problem. I don't think George has | :15:27. | :15:31. | |
been injured or frightened but if that is people's perception, we are | :15:32. | :15:37. | |
happy to react to that. Every year, the Royal Cornw`ll Show | :15:38. | :15:45. | |
somehow manages to cater to all tastes and ages, from grandparents | :15:46. | :15:48. | |
to grandchildren, something for everyone. We have been findhng out | :15:49. | :15:52. | |
how newcomers and stalwarts can enjoy themselves here. Whether it is | :15:53. | :16:02. | |
your first visit to the show or your 50th, there is plenty to sed and do. | :16:03. | :16:08. | |
Some of the exhibits are newcomers. The Saddleback pigs are pretty | :16:09. | :16:13. | |
relaxed. And these chicks are just a few hours old but they are `lready | :16:14. | :16:17. | |
getting a lot of attention. It is great. We have seen lots of horses | :16:18. | :16:24. | |
and dancers and everything. I like seeing all the animals and the food | :16:25. | :16:29. | |
stalls and everything you c`n do. A lot of young visitors head to the | :16:30. | :16:32. | |
fair where they can have fun on the vintage rides. Others have got a job | :16:33. | :16:39. | |
to do. Oliver and William h`ve got to get their prize`winning D | :16:40. | :16:46. | |
ready for the show ring. I just like it because you get to see lots of | :16:47. | :16:51. | |
machinery and my friends. They go to nearly every show every year. How | :16:52. | :16:57. | |
long have you been a steward? Since 1967 or 68. I have never missed a | :16:58. | :17:11. | |
show. What do you think when you see people helping out? It is great and | :17:12. | :17:15. | |
we must encourage them becatse it is the future of the show. There is | :17:16. | :17:24. | |
plenty of tradition. The old boys are 80 plus and they can tell you | :17:25. | :17:32. | |
they can use this sort of thing on the farm. Whatever your age, when it | :17:33. | :17:40. | |
gets hard on your feet, you can sit back and be entertained. | :17:41. | :17:55. | |
# There's whiskey in the jar! There is always so much to see at | :17:56. | :18:06. | |
the show, including all things agricultural. For the first time | :18:07. | :18:09. | |
this year, one of the heroes of the countryside is being honourdd | :18:10. | :19:05. | |
farmer's wife, produced by three young farmers for us. She is very | :19:06. | :19:08. | |
elegant and a hard worker and she is part of the wonderful scarecrow | :19:09. | :19:10. | |
trail. Once a scarecrow sky, as we have been finding out. | :19:11. | :20:12. | |
The hunters and the hounds race around in front of the main crowd. | :20:13. | :20:19. | |
The stunt bikes are a real crowd puller. 450 cc, in second gdar. And | :20:20. | :20:30. | |
he is doing the commentary `t the same time. | :20:31. | :20:35. | |
You switch your brain off and get the job done. | :20:36. | :20:41. | |
A bit less horsepower. Show`jumping is a great staple of the show. | :20:42. | :20:48. | |
You concentrate on your strhde and get in the right place. You are | :20:49. | :20:52. | |
thinking about the next fence, the best approach to it. | :20:53. | :20:57. | |
This is what it looks like. Meanwhile, these guys have ` great | :20:58. | :21:03. | |
view, as they drop in from 3500 feet. | :21:04. | :21:07. | |
A lot of concentration, on the parachute beneath you. If you have | :21:08. | :21:13. | |
time to take it in, it is excellent. We concentrate on putting on the | :21:14. | :21:16. | |
display. It will take them a few minttes to | :21:17. | :21:20. | |
drop down, so time for a look at the grand parade of cattle, shedp and | :21:21. | :21:26. | |
goats. All of the breeds, and the champions, are here for the | :21:27. | :21:31. | |
audience, and for Sophie, Countess of Wessex. A delegation of @mericans | :21:32. | :21:36. | |
are here to see how we do agricultural shows. | :21:37. | :21:39. | |
They say this, the grand Parade is the idea they will take back. But | :21:40. | :21:44. | |
then they don't have a royal visitor. | :21:45. | :21:49. | |
One of the highlights of thhs very agricultural show. But so wdre these | :21:50. | :21:52. | |
guys. Welcome to the show. | :21:53. | :21:59. | |
Fantastic to be here. A concentrated glimpse of events in | :22:00. | :22:06. | |
the main ring. What do you think? A well`deserved round of applause | :22:07. | :22:10. | |
for all of the events going on in the main ring today. It is good to | :22:11. | :22:14. | |
see we can still teach the @mericans a thing or two. | :22:15. | :22:18. | |
The show is still going strong this evening, although we have bden on a | :22:19. | :22:23. | |
little later. The rings havd been packed with spectators. Still lots | :22:24. | :22:27. | |
of people enjoying the show. Have you had a good day? | :22:28. | :22:31. | |
I think they are here for the weather forecast. Have you got good | :22:32. | :22:35. | |
news? I hope so. Thankfully, therd haven't | :22:36. | :22:46. | |
been too many showers. Some showers to the west of the Isles of Scilly. | :22:47. | :22:52. | |
They may be an overnight fe`ture. And at first tomorrow morning. | :22:53. | :22:58. | |
Let us start with a detail `t Weybridge for the show. Tomorrow, | :22:59. | :23:03. | |
the final day, and Sunday, the weather will be kind. Not qtite so | :23:04. | :23:08. | |
one as today. We have had a breeze today but | :23:09. | :23:15. | |
temperatures have been pretty good. 18 degrees. Sunny spells. Shmilar | :23:16. | :23:20. | |
conditions on Sunday. Lots happening on Sunday. | :23:21. | :23:26. | |
Let us look at the satellitd picture showing the low pressure. The cloud | :23:27. | :23:32. | |
is to the west of us. It hasn't moved very far. Overnight, ht gets a | :23:33. | :23:39. | |
little closer, bringing showers across overnight. | :23:40. | :23:44. | |
This is the chart for this dvening. The weather front is to the west. By | :23:45. | :23:50. | |
the middle of the day tomorrow, it is centrally over the country. This | :23:51. | :23:55. | |
will be the focus of heavy showers, possibly thundery, with the risk of | :23:56. | :24:00. | |
hail. Some showers could give some tremendous downpours of rain. By the | :24:01. | :24:05. | |
middle of the day on Sunday, we will be within `` between weather | :24:06. | :24:11. | |
systems. But a mainly dry d`y. A closer look at the satellitd picture | :24:12. | :24:16. | |
shows the patchy cloud we h`ve seen today. 22 degrees in Somersdt. | :24:17. | :24:26. | |
Overnight, that cloud to thd west showing a hint of some rain will | :24:27. | :24:32. | |
gradually creep in. Clouding over more. Some showery outbreaks. By | :24:33. | :24:38. | |
dawn, those could be heavy. You may hear a rumble of thunder ovdrnight. | :24:39. | :24:45. | |
There is the risk of thunder overnight. Overnight temper`tures no | :24:46. | :24:51. | |
lower than 14 degrees. Tomorrow, a lot more cloud `round. | :24:52. | :24:57. | |
The threat of some showers. Most likely over Dorset and Somerset | :24:58. | :25:01. | |
Devon and Cornwall, you may get away with another dry day. Not as busy as | :25:02. | :25:07. | |
today and not as warm. Tempdratures up to 18 degrees quite widely. | :25:08. | :25:13. | |
For the Isles of Scilly, sole early showers. In the afternoon, brighter | :25:14. | :25:18. | |
and not as breezy. Here are the times of high water. | :25:19. | :25:28. | |
Tomorrow, Plymouth, these are the times. | :25:29. | :25:35. | |
And here is the coastal watdrs forecast. The risk of some showers, | :25:36. | :25:48. | |
otherwise mainly fair. The outlook is for us to continue with the | :25:49. | :25:52. | |
threat of showers but I must stress it is a low threat for Somerset and | :25:53. | :25:59. | |
Dorset, through the day tomorrow, particularly in the morning, we | :26:00. | :26:03. | |
could have some hefty downpours of rain, slow`moving thundery showers. | :26:04. | :26:07. | |
Clearing out of the way swiftly Hazy sunshine in the afternoon. | :26:08. | :26:13. | |
Sunday, a risk of showers btt mainly dry. That risk continues into next | :26:14. | :26:18. | |
week. We have been lucky at the showground. Have a good evening | :26:19. | :26:26. | |
Sounding pretty good for thd third and final day of the show tomorrow. | :26:27. | :26:32. | |
We have finished this year but thank you to all the people who h`ve come | :26:33. | :26:36. | |

Weybridge and the team back in Plymouth, goodbye. | :26:56. | :27:03. | |
Start a new chapter, over the page. You are keeping me up all d`y and | :27:04. | :27:20. | |
night. I know I made you mind this | :27:21. | :27:26. | |
possibility. When I said yes, I lost a sdnse of | :27:27. | :27:33. | |
vanity. I'm going to break you till you are | :27:34. | :27:38. | |
broke. Bring you down. | :27:39. | :27:41. | |
Bring you down. The average person moves home | :27:42. | :27:56. | |
eight times during their life. So that's eight times | :27:57. | :28:02. | |
we have to move the sofa. Eight times | :28:03. | :28:05. | |
we have to redecorate. Eight times | :28:06. | :28:09. | |
we have to locate the stopcock But there's one thing | :28:10. | :28:13. | |
that's easy to do when you move - you can switch your TV licence | :28:14. | :28:16. | |
online. | :28:17. | :28:19. |
