Good evening and welcome to Friday's programme.

A birthright to be in Guernsey ` how laws could change to allow more

Disappointment for Heather Watson as she exits one tournament `

I saw the gay you fly get there which is so nice and makes le feel

at home `` Guernsey. People born in Guernsey to Guernsey

parents could have automatic permanent residential status

from next month. A year ago the States voted to bring

in new population management laws to There was concern this new regime

wouldn't protect the rights And politicians listened,

as Emma Chambers reports. These four`year`olds are having fun

the building houses but thehr residential rides is being decided

by the government. Even thotgh these children were born here, thdy're not

considered children from here because under the current housing

law they need to live in thd island the ten years before they are given

local residential status. The state voted to throw this out and bring in

a new system entitling people to become an established residdnt after

eight years and the state voted to throw this out and bring in a new

system entitling people to become an established resident after dight

years and a permanent one after 14. Whilst most of the new regile has

been approved, there was ond area that caused concern with islanders `

which affects young children So now they've proposed thrde

improvements Those born in Guernsey who have

a parent and grandparent from the island will automatically

have local qualifications. If a person is born in Guernsey and

their parent has earned qualified status, then they only have to live

in Guernsey for eight years instead And babies born to Guernsey people

living away from the island will also only have

to live in Guernsey for eight years These changes were prompted

after mounting pressure. We listen to public opinion and are

shown that we can introduce new guidelines.

The group say this new systdm will enable them to monitor the hslands

It'll be important that the island is able to manage its popul`tion

going forward. We will be able to understand exactly who has come to

the island and on what basis, and we will account for and build

statistics which will allow us to make positive decisions.

The states will debate these proposals next month.

But for these children ` they see Guernsey as their home

The UK government is taking a 'hands off' approach to the political

differences in Sark ` according to the minister with responsibhlity

Lord Edward Faulks is visithng Guernsey,

He says he recognises that tensions on the island won't disappe`r

overnight, but it's down to the people of Sark

He confirmed the UK governmdnt are monitoring the situation.

There is a continuous communication, so we do know what is

going on and we find out wh`t is going on with visits. We ard

watching, is that remains otr position.

The international firm of architects that designed the new BBC btilding

in Central London is working on the future use of Fort Regent in Jersey.

Hok Limited will report its findings later in the stmmer.

The news came in a heated scrutiny hearing this morning that ldd to the

Chairman ` Senator Sarah Ferguson ` banging her hand on the table to

Part of the project includes replacing the swimming pool with an

aquatic centre ` the pool ddmolition could start in September.

A Jersey scrutiny panel will look at evidence from Australia to see

what effect forcing people to wear helmets when cycling has had.

The environment panel is considering laws which have been brought forward

in the island to make any rhder under fourteen wear a helmet.

Guernsey's Heather Watson is out of the Eastbourne International

She played American Madison Keys this afternoon for a place

in tomorrow's final but was beaten in two sets.

British number one Heather Watson played today in bid to make

But the raw power of the 19`year`old American was too much for Hdather

Overall though, it?s been a positive week whth her

first top 20 win and Heather's appreciated the support frol home.

I saw a flight out there today which is nice `` flag. I appreciate all

the support I have had. And she'll be keen that support

continues next week as Wimbledon begins with Heather's first match

there next Tuesday. You're watching the BBC

in the Channel Islands. Later in Spotlight with Justin

and Rebecca, swimmers bask in the sunshine as an historic

seapool re`opens to the public. Two of the stars of the

BBC's Strictly Come Dancing are Pasha Kovalev and Katya Virshilas

are shuffling their stuff on the An evening with the stars is

currently touring the British Isles. Here's Pasha with the Countdown

host Rachel Riley in the most We have combine everything that

people love about Strictly Come Dancing into two hours, so tangos

and Sulzer 's, everything in one `` Sulzer I don't really have ` filter.

We have an amazing and phond audience. The difference watching it

live is the energy exchange we have the audience, so the audience can

relate to the energy of each and every dans and the motion every

dance and we can't get it from the TV.

Now ` which member of the BBC Channel Islands team do you

It's a portrait painted tod`y in Jersey's Royal Square `

as part of a week of open art events in the island.

Here's the lucky lady herself to tell you more.

This might be a place we know because other State building and the

court but one thing which mhght not spring to mind is art. Here today we

have students doing their bdst impression is. We have arts and

crafts behind us and someond who can tell me more about it is Sasha. What

is going on? Today is the l`unch of the studios. We have had a warm up

and today is the big launch. We had placed the exhibitions at the

gallery and in the rural sqtare we have the community activitids with

the public and workshops. Wd have the portrait group. That is based on

a photo booth but instead of a camera we have an artist inside In

four minutes you have your portrait made and it pops out here. Xou

really need to have a look hnside. Behind this mirror is the artist

whose idea it was to create this boot. Why is this year? I al going

to paint your portrait. It would be better if you had more

distinguishable features like a moustache. It makes it easidr. You

are a creative artist. Thank you. I'm not sure that if you fancy your

portrait you can come down here throughout Saturday and Sunday. It

is back to you in the studio. I think that is a good likeness. Now

it is time for the weather. Not much changes for the weather. For both

days as weekend it is fine `nd dry with sunny spells and a bit more in

the way of cloud. Tomorrow hs a beautiful day. 20 degrees and a

gentle breeze, onshore breeze and plenty of sunshine. Take sole

sunscreen because tomorrow hs very hard. This area of high pressure is

weakening and as does so it will allow a bit more activity from the

south. Come Sunday, a weathdr system drifts towards us. There will be

medium level cloud and the potential for odd shower. That is the

exception rather than the rtle but a different story as we head hnto the

second half of the week. A good deal of clear sky tonight and a fine

start to tomorrow. Temperattres no lower than 15 degrees. A sililar

wind their action tomorrow. Walking around the islands, a bit of shelter

on the coast. Temperatures getting up to 20 or possibly 21 degrees An

almost unbroken spell of sunshine for the day. Onto the forec`st for

the coastal waters. The winds from the east. For three or four. Times

of high water. It will be disappointing for

surfing. A little bit choppx. The outlook is fine and dry continuing

into next week but the one day we are watching is Sunday. There is

more in the way of cloud whhch could produce a few showers, but ht is a

small risk. It continues drx into next week but some subtle changes

possible from Wednesday onw`rds That's it from the team

in the Channel Islands, havd a great weekend and we'll ldave you

with a look ahead to what's coming want to do is find a partner we can

work with and who we could work hand in glove with in many different

areas. If the raise the mondy and successfully by Milan, it would be

most it expensive The Western Morning News is about

to do something never tried before From this weekend, it is publishing

seven days a week, with the launch of The Western Morning News

On Sunday. It is a significant step in an

industry used to years of ddcline. Our business correspondent

Neil Gallacher has been shown This is the prototype of thd month

Sunday edition. It is a bold move. There is no news that the ndwspaper

industry has been in declind for many decades. But this is a

fantastic opportunity. I thhnk it is a fantastic opportunity not for us,

but also for the West Country as a whole. People have not been lining

up to buy the existing paper as the dead in the old days. They have seen

the print run shrink. A dec`de ago it was selling around 46,000 copies.

Sales know are about 26,000. They are branching out and the pdople are

increasingly has a life of hts own online. The sat at the edithon is a

big seller and they are gambling on the Sunday edition working `s well.

One of the things with circtlation decline is simply that people have

less time to do things during the week. Clearly, we believe that

Sunday 's offer a better ch`nce for people to have the time for the

newspaper. We have done our research. This usage and will open

on Sundays and feel the Sunday paper will be good for the overall market.

If you look at the other big reads, the main Sunday papers, that is

often far too much in them. Other ones are far too celebrity driven.

Whereas, the Western Morning News offer something completely

different. Is that I worry that despite the recruitment, thhs will

just mean more work for existing staff? I think everyone alw`ys works

harder than it did before. There is no longer the case of us all having

the launch in the pub. We all work over Sunday 's enemy, is sililar

means our time will be stretched in different ways. So, we will see who

this plans out on Sunday. The base where Royal Navy s`ilors

undergo their basic training has been celebrating

its 75th anniversary. Thousands of recruits have

passed through HMS Raleigh, at Torpoint in Cornwall,

since it was established, Spotlight's defence reporter

Scott Bingham was there for a special passing out p`rade

to mark the occasion. They have been turning civilians and

two sailors for generations. This film was from the 1960s. Thd first

recruits passed through the gates in January 1940. Of course, a

tremendous amount has changdd in the last 75 years. The figure hdad has

moved position. The ridding buildings are long gone as well But

the basic spirit here remains the same. The biggest challenge is that

you have to be part of a te`m. Some of the technology has changdd. But

in essence, it is all about building a team. Among the celebritids

invited, the commanding offhcer of HMS Raleigh in 1995. And on the

parade ground, leading the parade of officers, his son James. Slhght

level of fatherly concern for him. You feeling any of the pressure

This is passing out the class which have done eight weeks trainhng

here, it is always a great honour. Meeting some of the recruits of

today was another commanding officer, who was in charge of the

base at the end of the 1960s. His daughter was actually born here I

left ear of when I was six. I remember the parade ground. I

remember the captain 's house, which was lovely. There has been luch

speculation about HMS Raleigh, but with recent investment in training

facilities, its future now seems secure. This sailors who passed

through here, as much a part of the community as those they havd served.

Exeter Chiefs forward Joel Conlon scored a try as England's Under 20s

rugby team retained the Junior World Cup in Auckland.

Conlon, a half`time replacelent got England's second try,

as they beat South Africa 20`20 in the final at Eden Park.

It is the second year in a row that Conlon has featured

in the England junior team. He was part of a group of fhve

Exeter players that won the tournament in France 12 months ago.

There is great news for swimmers in Bude.

After suffering a lot of storm damage in the wintdr,

the town's seapool is now back in action.

Thanks to the determination of the community and the generosity

once again by people from f`r and wide. Angela Kalwaites visited it.

Paddling into the sea pool. After being closed for months, thd

swimmers were relishing the chance to enter it once again. You really

feel the benefit when you are in the water. I have really never lissed

that. I used to come to our three times a week. It is fabulous just

been back in the water. This is how it looked after the storms hn the

summer. Luckily, the communhty swung into action. We have to thank the

people here. We put adverts show for people to come and help and people

would just along and give as one or two of the help to clear all the

storms as many hands make lhght work. Calls have been drilldd for

new railings. We are here over the winter and we felt we could help

out. We are a firm which spdcialises in this type of work and we wanted

to be able to help them movd forward and offer as much help as possible.

There is still what to be done and the fundraising continues. H am

doing a bicycle charity raid. They have said the pool is a verx

important aspect of the town, put proving a huge draw for loc`l people

and also for visitors. Gorgeous weather there in Btde.

You can swim in the pool at high tide now and, when the

sluice gates go in next week, it will be in use

at all times of the day. Many of you have been in totch

regarding our story on potholes One viewer says some of the car tax

money should go on repeating the roads. He said the roads ard going

to rack and ruin, try cycling on these roads. Comments coming in on

our Facebook says. Filling hn potholes is a waste of monex.

Resurfacing the roads has to be the priority. Time now for the weather.

The sun has been blazing, you will want to know what the weekend has in

store. It will be a fine weekend. Do not

worry about that. To be precise it is the day with the most nulber of

minutes of daylight tomorrow. So, from tomorrow, then Knights start to

draw in gradually. It will seek warm and mostly sunny, with high

temperatures getting up to 23 Celsius. Over the big satellite

picture, you can see the extent of this nice weather, over much of not

only Great Britain, but also friends burnt down in Spain. A bit of code

in Scotland. The editors this evening. Not much

change coming over the next couple of days. Next, there is a slow and

gradual change. There will be the threat of showers once again. At the

moment, the cloud has built up slightly and this evening that is

some cloud around. It has jtst built up inland. There may be a bht of low

cloud forming. Overnight temperatures, still in double

figures. For tomorrow, we are looking more of same. Low cloud and

mist clearing out the rear. We will have the lot of fine weather

tomorrow. As I say, the temperatures, into the 20s, maybe

slightly cooler up along thd northern coast. Here the high water

times: I mention the suffering, it has been

rather disappointing. And the next four days, prolising

much of the same. Perhaps a bit more clothes around into early ndxt week.

The jealous of showers on Wednesday, but that remains a long

way off. Football has kicked is around the schedules for thd last

couple of days, but we are back at the normal team of 6:30pm on Monday.

Enjoy the weekend. I saw you befope a.d H thought

you were so be!utiful I wish that love could

come into my life. You were with someone!

Who was it? Who were you with? Murdered By My Boyfriend,

a true story.
