In just over a decade, our lives are truly lived

And now technology is moving on again.

When most of us got a mobile phone we were using 2G enabling us to make

calls and send texts as well as very slow internet access.

Then came along 3G which we use now, bringing faster internet

But soon 4G will be here, allowing users to surf the web up to

I like many others would be lost without my phone,

I use it for emails, surfing the web, texting and even video calls.

With 4G on the way we promised it will be able to do more.

We are seeing a rise in people using data on 3G phones and we are getting

to the point where the 3G network is getting congested

Will people need to buy a new phone to access 4G?

Most of the latest models are 4G compliant.

Other people will have to upgrade if they want to access

Will the consumer end up paying more? It is about encouraging people

to use it and not penalising them. Jersey Police say they're prepared

for criticism over how they handled On the second day of the inquiry

the forces advocate told the hearing the service wasn't going to be

defensive about any failings in Robert MacRae said they were fully

committed to supporting the inquiry and he promised they

would learn from any mistakes. Seven people have been arrested in

Jersey on suspicion of possession The men range between 17

and 22 years old, and were found in possession of cannabis with

a believed street value They were arrested last night

following a long term police operation

and are currently in custody. The Channel Islands have experience

another earth tremor at around 5.30 this afternoon It was

a similar magnitude to the tremor two weeks ago but it didn't feel as

strong because it was further away. It was a magnitude 4, 16 miles

off the south west coast of Jersey. As you may have seen earlier on BBC

` the Commonwealth Games have opened More than 4,500 athletes

from over 70 Commonwealth nations and territories paraded through

Celtic Park. Here's the moment Team

Jersey made their entrance. They were led in by veteran

shooter Steve Le Couillard. It's Steve's seventh

Commonwealth Games ` he also carried the flag for the start

of the Edinburgh games in 1986. The Sarnians flag was carried

by squash player Chris Simpson. And when we spoke to Chris

beforehand, was winding me up earlier saying

there was going to be 1 concentrating hard that I don't trip

up and do something wrong. It is very exciting and a proud moment for

me. The Games themselves

begin tomorrow morning. It's taken four years hard work

and dedicated fundraising Edward Sault has been speaking to

some of them as they gear up I am in the international zone of

the athlete's village and is with me is some of Guernsey's competitors.

In the cycling, James, good afternoon. What has it been like

here? It is settling in and finding our way round. We have been for a

couple of rides around. It looks like it

Commonwealth Games you have competed in, in the past? Same`macro there is

a great buzz around and everyone is moving into the village stop

everywhere is packed full of people and it is good that everybody is

ready to go. Mariana, you are back in badminton swapping your England

shirt for Jersey. What is it like to play back at home? It is such a nice

team atmosphere and we all get on really well. It is nice to be the

underdog for once instead of having pressure on you. I have more of a

smile on my face. It is quite a large team. What is the feeling

about how the island can do microwaves? There is more of us this

time. As long as we all give it our all, I am not sure what the chances

are metal whiles `` medal wise but we will all want to try and get a

medal here. And you can watch all those

islanders in action on the BBC. Highlights tomorrow include

Guernsey's flag bearer Chris Simpson who we heard from earlier,

he's in the first round Our swimmers will be in the water

for their heats tomorrow morning. Also in the water,

on their bikes and running will be Daniel Halksworth and Tom Perchard

in the Triathalon. But from me it's goodbye,

I'll leave you with David Braine It is going to be another fine day

tomorrow with plenty of sunshine. The showers will be across northern

France into Normandy. It is try tonight and feeling warm with

temperatures no lower than 17 Celsius. There is some patchy cloud

floating around. Tomorrow, it is more of the same stock temperatures

are easily above 25 Celsius. Slightly more of a breeze developing

at it becomes more breezy, especially in the afternoon. We may

bring temperatures down and it will feel cooler. The showers are across

northern Pratt `` Northern parts of France. We have high`pressure

covering western Britain and the western corner of France. Here, it

is dry and settled. It is cooler and Friday is another hot day.

Temperatures will be back up to 26 Celsius. Through Saturday and

Sunday, we see fresh and conditions. In a second, a full forecast. It is

good night and here is a summary. from the north. The national picture

comes from Philip Avery. Unusually, I can say good morning.

Wednesday has been noticeable for a number of reasons. From a

meteorological point of view, it was the warmest day of the year for

Wales and Northern Ireland. Nothing like it across the East of Scotland,

where the temperature was locked firmly into the mid-teens thanks to

the presence of the low cloud and fog. It is there again as it has

been, making inroads through the Clyde Valley is, to the Tyne Valley

and areas east of the Pennines. Another very close night, 17, 18 or

19, something of that
