:07:29. > :07:32.for the more amateur riders over We sent Clare Burton
:07:33. > :07:43.to find out more. We know it's Serena and beattiful
:07:44. > :07:48.and steeped in history but not this weekend as though the world 's top
:07:49. > :07:52.cyclists will be haring along Gorey's roads. This music, stalls,
:07:53. > :07:57.big spectacle for everyone. The organiser is with me now. This is
:07:58. > :08:02.going to be a great weekend, isn't it? Yes, we have the final of the
:08:03. > :08:07.tour steer is starting this evening at 7:30 p.m.. A curtain raiser this
:08:08. > :08:12.afternoon, time trial, but ht's a whole weekend but I think whll
:08:13. > :08:18.become a catalyst for futurd years, an annual major cycling event which
:08:19. > :08:22.will get people from the mahnland and France to come here too, to
:08:23. > :08:31.sample what Jersey has got to offer. One of those cyclists is Tobin. This
:08:32. > :08:34.is the last in a series of high`level races. Does that mean a
:08:35. > :08:39.lot to be racing on Channel Islands's oil? This is about as
:08:40. > :08:43.close to home as I can be whthout being at home, only a short jump
:08:44. > :08:47.across the water so it's gohng to be a cracking event with a scenery
:08:48. > :08:51.yes. The next big thing for you is the Commonwealth Games. You're going
:08:52. > :08:55.to be up against Bradley Wiggins, how daunting is that? To a certain
:08:56. > :09:01.extent. The Commonwealth gale, my third one, lining up against the
:09:02. > :09:04.bigger names will be great. For younger viewers who like gohng out
:09:05. > :09:13.on their bicycles, what is the leap to get to your level? You h`ve to
:09:14. > :09:18.enjoy it first. You need to enjoy it when you are 16, 17, 18 and if you
:09:19. > :09:27.really enjoy it and have thd talent, then start looking into mord
:09:28. > :09:31.specific training. So, one by one, they are off on the Hill clhmb,
:09:32. > :09:34.kicking off a weekend of cycling here in Jersey. They've got the
:09:35. > :09:38.weather, the professionals, and they are really hoping for the crowds.
:09:39. > :09:46.Thank you very much indeed. Good weather today. Will it last? David
:09:47. > :09:47.knows. Is this lovely spell of weather going to continue over the
:09:48. > :09:57.weekend? Not quite as warm as today. Ready
:09:58. > :10:03.to` 23 today. Not so hot tolorrow. Good news for the sailors. The race
:10:04. > :10:08.taking place from Plymouth tomorrow. For all of us, a little bit more
:10:09. > :10:13.cloud. It's still warm day, but also more breeze. The pollen rem`ins
:10:14. > :10:17.high, though, so if you are a sufferer, there isn't much we can do
:10:18. > :10:24.about it. Along the coastline, slightly cleaner air. High`pressure
:10:25. > :10:28.has moved a bit further westwards bringing this weather systel down
:10:29. > :10:31.through the British Isles, cross the English Channel, and into us by the
:10:32. > :10:38.end of the night and risk of a few coming over. By the time we get to
:10:39. > :10:42.Sunday, more of a squeeze on the isobars so more of a breeze through
:10:43. > :10:46.the weekend ahead. Here comds the cloud overnight tonight. It's not
:10:47. > :10:52.really going to spoil an otherwise dry story but there's a risk of a
:10:53. > :10:55.few showers drifting past overnight. 14 degrees, the minimum
:10:56. > :11:01.temperature. It introduces ` lot of cloud so expect the start of the day
:11:02. > :11:05.to be cloudy compared to recently. The cloud will break up. Thd
:11:06. > :11:09.sunshine will come through. Moreover breeze from the north`east `t the
:11:10. > :11:13.north`east are top temperattre of 21 degrees. For the coastal waters
:11:14. > :11:15.forecast, North or north`easterly, 3`4, fair with good visibilhty. The
:11:16. > :11:33.times of high water: The sea temperature is 15 ddgrees.
:11:34. > :11:38.That's quite warm. Thank yot for your photographs. It is a great
:11:39. > :11:43.shot. I will move out of thd way so you can see a picture of thd moon.
:11:44. > :11:47.It was taken by Colin Griffhths this morning. The outlook contintes fine
:11:48. > :11:53.and dry. A little bit cooler for next week. Have a nice weekdnd.
:11:54. > :12:04.It looks very good. That's ht. A late bulletin tonight. Good night.
:12:05. > :12:06.because of needles last year. Arguably the biggest worry hs the
:12:07. > :12:13.risk to staff here and thosd cleaning the parks and stredts.
:12:14. > :12:23.Next, news on how Plymouth divers have been selected for the
:12:24. > :12:26.Commonwealth Games. And the primary schoolchildren tackling the Ten

:12:40. > :12:42.a scientist is a birds eye view of the sandbanks and reefs just off her
:12:43. > :12:46.coastline. The survey team say that it will
:12:47. > :12:50.give them vital information about the natural underwater defences
:12:51. > :12:53.which protect us from the sda, as well as looking at how to prevent
:12:54. > :12:56.landlords. I Birds Eye view of the beattiful
:12:57. > :13:04.Devon coast, but what is happening under the water on the sea bed
:13:05. > :13:10.below? The horrendous storms this year we have this `` wreaked havoc
:13:11. > :13:14.on our coastline. Now scientists want to find it what has happened to
:13:15. > :13:19.the sea bed. This small plane is about to take off, armed with a
:13:20. > :13:23.special laser that enables them to penetrate the water and produce a
:13:24. > :13:27.map of the sea bed. In the past they have done this using boats. This new
:13:28. > :13:35.technology should give them much more accurate picture of how sand on
:13:36. > :13:38.difficult to map this area `re difficult to map this area `re
:13:39. > :13:43.this will be quicker and more this will be quicker and more
:13:44. > :13:49.accurate, we will be able to see it and a lot more detail than hn the
:13:50. > :13:56.past. The plane uses a laser to map the sea bed. We have a red laser and
:13:57. > :14:01.a green laser. The red laser reflects on the surface and then the
:14:02. > :14:05.other one penetrates through and reflects from the bottom. You can
:14:06. > :14:13.use it work out how deep thd water is. Scientists say it will give them
:14:14. > :14:19.a greater picture of the se` bed and help them in the long`term battle to
:14:20. > :14:24.preserve the coast. Five divers from Plymouth h`ve been
:14:25. > :14:28.picked as part of the England team to go to the Commonwealth G`mes But
:14:29. > :14:35.a sixth diver could be going if an appeal to the organisers is
:14:36. > :14:38.successful. She has been tr`ining hard, but Victoria Vincent hs not
:14:39. > :15:23.heading to Glasgow yet. The rules are going, led by Tom Daley.
:15:24. > :15:32.Alongside him will be 40`ye`r`old Matthew Dixon. And fellow ddbutant

:21:01. > :21:12.team from school who had st`rted at 7:45am, had already knocked off for
:21:13. > :21:24.a tors, and were loving it. We found some sheep and all of the whll was
:21:25. > :21:31.in a big bundle. This is thd 20th year of the Ten Tors for yot six
:21:32. > :21:40.children. The children learn all the map work, navigation, and bdcome
:21:41. > :21:43.self`sufficient and what thdy are doing and have a lot of confidence
:21:44. > :21:48.in their abilities by the thme they have finished. Tonight they will put
:21:49. > :21:55.up their tents, get stuck into some chicken stew, and get some other
:21:56. > :21:58.well`deserved treats. We have some treats for later this evening, they

:26:03. > :26:05.skies. It is nudging in frol the North. There are few showerx and
:26:06. > :26:08.that cloud as well. For the rest of us, we will not notice much of a
:26:09. > :26:10.change. A bit more of a bredze and overnight temperatures betwden 2 or
:26:11. > :26:12.13 Celsius. Tomorrow, we will not see quite such blue skies. There is
