The Wimbledon dream is over for Heather Watson, as the world number

seven beats her on Centre Court And an orphan helped by Channel Islands

charity workers comes to sed the place that changed his life

Nearly a third of Year 5 chhldren in Guernsey are overweight or obese.

The States have been monitoring the weight and height

of primary school pupils ` and health officials say thd most

recent results from the Child Management Measurement Programme

highlight why child obesity is a significant concern for the future.

Making healthy choices ` and knowing why they should.

It's important to eat healthily because you need the right `mount of

vitamins, proteins. It can keep you fit and keep you going. If xou

didn't have a drink, it would be really bad.

It's an important message this school tries hard to get across

Incomes through PSA Chi lessons science lessons, and we do ` lot

about sport. We do a lot about having a balanced diet.

But a recent survey across the island shows obesity is a problem.

One in five of Year 1 students measured were overweight or obese.

Increasing to one in three by Year 5.

They are indicating that thhs is a really significant health worry that

a population level. It could cause future health problems. The

consequences of this are likely to be lifestyle changes. Diet hs a big

part of it. This is something we use quite often. We recommend not to use

things like sausage rolls, pork pies and pastry. A good sandwich with

some vegetables and salad. Water to drink, ditch the crisps, and if they

really do want a sweet treat, try to stick to plain biscuits.

Whilst some of the unhealthier treats may

look tasty, health officials hope today's figures will act

as a reminder about why these are perhaps better options.

Guernsey's Heather Watson is out of the women's singles at Whmbledon

after losing to the number seven player in the

Our reporter Matt Sandoz has been watching and is live in SW18 for us.

Matt, these two players are leagues apart in terms of world rankings `

but it was actually a close match, wasn't it?

The stage was set for her to make the headlines today. She was facing

one of the toughest challenges of her career so far. Just over a week

ago, she won her first match against a top 20 player. Today, the world

number seven Angelique Kerbdr stood in her way.

Centre Court for the last British hope in the ladies' singles.

Today's second round match wasn t going to be an easy one

She was facing world number seven Angelique Kerber.

And it didn't start off well for Heather Watson.

Kerber's experience shone through to take the first set, six two.

The crowd showed their support for Heather for the second set.

Watson's new aggressive plax came through, fighting for the sdcond set

But British hopes soon started fading as Kerber strode ahe`d.

Before Heather said her goodbyes, she made the German work

So the Wimbledon dream may be over for 2014. But

Heather can hold her head hhgh after a strong comeback

Huge courage and determinathon from Heather on centre court but she

couldn't match her achievemdnts of two years ago of reaching the third

round. Her Grand Slam focus will now turn to the US open in August. But

before then, she will hope to extend her Wimbledon experience th`t little

bit longer. She will hopefully take part in the mixed doubles if the

weather holds out tomorrow. Thanks very much. Get somewhere warm

and dry soon! More incidents, more fires `nd

rescues, but fewer false al`rms Jersey's fire service has rdvealed

a rise on 2012. Dashing into a burning building is

all part of the job for these full`time firefighters. Tod`y's

drill is about getting in and out quickly, something that takds a lot

of work to practice. A full firefighter ` it takes four years to

qualify. For a part`time firefighter, they really st`rt

coming to the peak of their skills after six years. And these skills

are in demand. Jerzy's Fire service dealt with nearly 1200 incidents in

2013, impaired to 1067 in 2012. The number of house fires incre`sed for

the first fire related deaths in 30 years. They're obviously snowstorms

and we are heavily route involved in helping people. It was a nice summer

so we had poor water rescue incidents, or open land firds. Most

of the increases are related to the weather. Now eight retained

firefighters will be put through training similar to this to increase

the number of staff in the service in a bid to protect us all from

danger. A Guernsey man has been sentenced to

life. The Tumaini foundation started in Guernsey 11 years ago in response

to the aids pandemic in Tanzanian. The money raised has helped

thousands of orphans. One of them wanted to see Guernsey for himself.

success stories. After living in the mountain is his whole life, this is

the first time Amon has seen the sea. And where better than the

beautiful sea here? It is an ICC, very huge. It's beautiful. @mon

Jackson was just two years old when he lost his father, so had to grow

quickly. In our family, we were seven children, so my mother had

very hard work to make sure that we grew. Amon has come to Guernsey to

meet the people who helped him. I'm working as a pastor and I'm taking

care of hundreds of orphans and widows who are in my parish. And

because I have been an orph`n, I know how orphans and widows are

living. Tanzania is one of the ten poorest countries in the world and

in the northern province whdre Amon is from, 200,000 children h`ve been

orphaned by aids alone, which is why Dr Susan Wilson decided to help I

walked all afternoon and all I could see was children looking after

children, children leading children by bands, looking for food, looking

for help. There were no pardnts left. They were starving, they had

no home. It was just amazing to have some contact with a family that I

had looked after for nine ydars and he's amazing. In 2014, Guernsey sent

?370,000 to Tanzania and ard now supporting 25,000 orphans whth the

hope that many more will grow up to be as successful as Amon.

We hope Amon has enjoyed his time in Guernsey. Certainly had the weather

for it. Tell us what more is to come, David.

It is quite changeable. I hope there will be some sunshine betwedn the

showers. The ground could use a bit of rain. It is pretty parchdd. Some

early showers tomorrow mornhng, then turning brighter. We should see

sunshine through the afternoon. The main area of rain is moving up

across Britain and central parts of England at the moment. Therd are

clutches of showers, one of which may arise tomorrow morning `round

the area of low pressure whhch takes charge of our weather pattern as we

move into the middle of the day Through Saturday and Sunday, it

moves away and that starts `n improvement so hopefully by Sunday

it is largely fine and dry. The risk of showers continues for thd next

few days. Some around overnhght fairly fleeting and light, but

perhaps towards dawn, anothdr line of showers creeping up towards the

south`west. That will give showers tomorrow morning. 13 degrees is the

minimum temperature. For thd first few daylight hours, there could be

some angry showers around and the risk of some thunder but into the

afternoon, mostly dry. Eight few showers may turn up late in the day

but there are not many of those under top temperature of 17 or 8

tomorrow. Much fresher and luch cooler, though. The coastal waters

forecast is on screen. Here are the times of high water. For our

surfers, the Surf picks up over the next few days. We hope to sde a bit

more of a wave developed on the north coast. This is the outlook,

which looks quite promising. We may see showers on both Friday `nd

Saturday. Some could be heavy again on Saturday. But Sunday into Monday,

largely fine and dry. The bdst day of the weekend will be Sund`y.

An unusual commission for the Academy of Floral Art

For the hair we have used grass and seed pods with dark reeds

underneath to give the depth in the colour of hair.

So we've got the lovely colour in the sycamore leaves,

and also the nuts to give the depth of colour in the eyebrows.

It might be unusual but there is plenty for the students to learn.

that the weather is set stalled at the moment. `` settles. Somd

clouds, some could be thunddry. One line of showery rain went through

earlier today. There are ardas of rain in the Atlantic and sole might

be headed our way so there lay be a prolonged downpour of rain. We have

lost high pressure. We have high pressure as we head towards the

weekend. It moves away from us as we head through Saturday and it moves

away from us as we head through Saturday and into Sunday and

Monday. However, some showers tomorrow and also on Saturd`y that

could be quite lively. We do have a warning about that, and even the

risk of thunder and hail. That was the line of more persistent rain

that we saw earlier today. Ht has now cleared. This was this

afternoon, where our cameralan caught on one side of a rivdr some

blue sky but nasty clouds on the other. Sometimes we will get blue

sky, but sometimes we will get some heavy downpours of rain. For all of

us, including the wildlife, he settled weather is now at an end.

Let's look at the forecast for overnight tonight. Showers will fade

away for a time and then return again in the small hours. Not

particularly heavy, but showers none the less. Tomorrow morning they head

towards Cornwall, with tempdratures no more than ten or 11 degrdes.

Tomorrow we are expecting those showers to be on and off all day.

One village will get a downpour while the next stays dry and sees

the sunshine. Temperatures 06 or 17 in the showers, 18 or 19 if we get

sunshine. A few showers possible for the Isles of Scilly. Tides `nd waves

are not used for servers. A bit choppy along the north coast of

Cornwall and Devon. It gets drier as we move through the weekend. Sunday

will be quite a nice day, a little on the cool side though. Have a good

evening, back to you. Thank you for joining us at a

slightly later time today. Hopefully will see you tomorrow at 6:30pm
