:00:00. > :00:14.you. That is all from me. Now on BBC One we
:00:15. > :00:18.I'll be live in Glasgow with reaction to that dramatic day's
:00:19. > :00:20.shooting, plus islanders biking, swimming and serving their way
:00:21. > :00:31.Letting the people decide ` Guernsey considers changing the way
:00:32. > :00:49.There was heartbreak for Channel Islands shooters in Glasgow
:00:50. > :00:53.It was the closest Jersey has come to a medal at the Commonwealth Games
:00:54. > :02:17.possible. At the end of the day, we have to do our absolute best.
:02:18. > :02:23.Despite the score, I was still pretty pleased at how I shopped at
:02:24. > :02:27.1000 yards. I shot at some good elevation, it was just the wind
:02:28. > :02:31.really. Nick Mays was eighth, certainly not a day weather Channel
:02:32. > :02:34.Islanders road as high as they had hoped.
:02:35. > :02:36.Well, Tim spoke to Barry Le Cheminant a short time ago
:02:37. > :02:49.Barry came into today leading the way, but it didn't work out the way
:02:50. > :02:56.many people hoped. Barry is with me now. What was not quite right with
:02:57. > :03:00.you today? I was happy with the way I shot, it was the wind reading that
:03:01. > :03:06.was the tricky thing today. It is blowing quite hard here. We have had
:03:07. > :03:10.wind changes, the way it is coming today is from behind us, so it has
:03:11. > :03:16.been moving left and right. It is an effort to try to gauge the wind, put
:03:17. > :03:21.it onto the rifle, get the shot up and away as quick as you can, whilst
:03:22. > :03:25.maintaining accuracy. It is something that a lot of us have
:03:26. > :03:29.struggled to do this afternoon. So, it was a great position overnight.
:03:30. > :03:34.Short range is less volatile than long`range, which we have had here,
:03:35. > :03:38.900 yards was not too bad, but 1000 yards was very difficult. I don't
:03:39. > :03:42.know how I finished up as yet. Briefly, how much did it mean to you
:03:43. > :03:46.to be back in the Commonwealth games 28 years after you last competed? A
:03:47. > :03:53.fantastic feeling. I was delighted to be selected. It is great to be
:03:54. > :03:58.back. The camaraderie in the Jersey team, the helpers and the
:03:59. > :04:02.officials, the people generally, everyone has loved it. They are a
:04:03. > :04:07.very friendly bunch. Fingers crossed I might do another one. Thank you
:04:08. > :04:14.for speaking to us. So, the long Jersey wait for a medal at the
:04:15. > :04:16.Commonwealth Games continues. We will be back with more later in the
:04:17. > :04:26.programme. A referendum could be held
:04:27. > :04:28.in Guernsey to test the appetite The States agreed to the idea today,
:04:29. > :04:32.but with debate on the issue set to continue tomorrow,
:04:33. > :04:35.it could all change still. Penny Elderfield has been
:04:36. > :04:37.following it. Island`wide voting ` it's one that
:04:38. > :04:40.comes round time and time again. In fact, on average, the States
:04:41. > :04:43.have debated roughly once every And we've not seen the back
:04:44. > :04:47.of it yet. As you mentioned,
:04:48. > :04:49.they have agreed to have a referendum to get a clear answer
:04:50. > :04:52.on whether the public want it. So,
:04:53. > :05:08.how would island`wide voting work? Dump the electoral system is the
:05:09. > :05:12.building block of our society. We can establish once and for whether
:05:13. > :05:17.there is public support for a system of full island`wide voting.
:05:18. > :05:20.If it happened in the way that was discussed today it would mean,
:05:21. > :05:23.instead of the current district system, we'd all be able to vote
:05:24. > :05:26.So potentially 45 votes and potentially many more to
:05:27. > :05:31.And that's where some of the concern creeps in.
:05:32. > :05:33.That, logistically, it just wouldn't work and it would
:05:34. > :05:39.Just think of the number of manifestos, the hustings meetings.
:05:40. > :05:42.But supporters of it say those are all problems that could be overcome
:05:43. > :05:47.So, the final vote on it all will be tomorrow and it'll either be
:05:48. > :05:51.a case that we can say for sure a referendum will happen, or that the
:05:52. > :05:58.A woman accused of stabbing her husband with
:05:59. > :06:00.a kitchen knife has been found not guilty at Jersey's Royal Court.
:06:01. > :06:03.34`year`old Marivic Vautier had denied attacking her husband
:06:04. > :06:06.at Westley Court in St Saviour on Christmas Eve last year.
:06:07. > :06:09.Mrs Vautier, who had moved out earlier that month, told
:06:10. > :06:12.Jersey's Royal Court he did it to himself after telling her he would
:06:13. > :06:22.It took the jury two hours to find her not guilty.
:06:23. > :06:26.Back to the Commonwealth Games now, and back to Edward Sault in Glasgow.
:06:27. > :06:29.Apart from disappointment in the shooting, what else have
:06:30. > :06:34.Thanks Clare, despite that, Jersey's badminton side have been serving up
:06:35. > :06:38.success, today and there have been positive performances for Guernsey
:06:39. > :06:47.The Channel islands got off to a flying start
:06:48. > :06:51.Former medallist Elizabeth Cann breezed past Alannah Stephenson to
:06:52. > :06:56.book her place in the last 32, winning her match 2`0.
:06:57. > :07:00.Joining her tomorrow will be fellow Jersey woman Solenn Pasturel.
:07:01. > :07:02.Elena Johnson and Gayle Lloyd also knocked out their opponents
:07:03. > :07:25.It was a mixed day in the table tennis.
:07:26. > :07:27.Craig Gascoyne was beaten 4`1 in both his qualifying matches.
:07:28. > :07:31.Alice Loveridge has confirmed her place in the knock out stages.
:07:32. > :07:33.She edged her way past Scotland?s Gillian Edwards this
:07:34. > :07:50.For most of our Channel Island athletes,
:07:51. > :07:52.the Commonwealth Games is the pinnacle of their sporting career.
:07:53. > :07:54.It can be an exciting, nerve`wracking
:07:55. > :07:56.and overwhelming experience for those competing, but imagine
:07:57. > :07:59.what it?s like for their families watching from the sidelines.
:08:00. > :08:03.Glasgow's Toll Cross swimming centre ` a place where swimmers break
:08:04. > :08:06.records, beat personal bests and win medals.
:08:07. > :08:12.And a place their family can share those special moments.
:08:13. > :08:14.Tania and Mark Munro and their daughter Annalise
:08:15. > :08:19.from Guernsey couldn't get accommodation in the city
:08:20. > :08:22.so have travelled in from Edinburgh to watch their son Miles compete
:08:23. > :08:36.It makes it more nerve wracking actually. I think it would be
:08:37. > :08:38.exciting even if you did not have somebody to watch. But it is a bit
:08:39. > :08:39.more special. And this was
:08:40. > :08:41.the moment they were waiting for ` the only one of Mile's heats they've
:08:42. > :08:45.been able to watch from the stand. Finishing fifth in his heat, Miles
:08:46. > :09:14.qualified for the semi`finals. I just wanted him to kick and swim.
:09:15. > :09:19.It means so much to him. He was seeded for the semifinals, and you
:09:20. > :09:21.just want him to do it. It is all about personal bests.
:09:22. > :09:23.A quick and modest congratulations followed outside.
:09:24. > :09:26.But most importantly, some more shampoo from his mum.
:09:27. > :09:29.Miles went on to finish sixth in the semi`finals,
:09:30. > :09:34.With their Commonwealth experience over, Miles's family now prepare
:09:35. > :09:37.for a trip to China in two weeks time to watch and
:09:38. > :09:54.Much more from here in Glasgow tomorrow night, but for now it?s
:09:55. > :10:16.More unsettled conditions, cooler conditions towards the end of the
:10:17. > :10:19.week, and some rain in the forecast. Overnight tonight and into tomorrow,
:10:20. > :10:24.more in the way of cloud, so it could be quite a cloudy start. Some
:10:25. > :10:29.sunny spells and northerly winds. Temperatures reaching 21 degrees. It
:10:30. > :10:34.will be colder for the Commonwealth Games in bars go tomorrow with
:10:35. > :10:41.outbreaks of rain. 17, the top temperature in bars go. It does
:10:42. > :10:48.remain quite cloudy. A fair amount of cloud out in the Atlantic which
:10:49. > :10:56.will move our way over the next couple of days. In the interim, a
:10:57. > :11:03.lot of fine weather. A week weather system coming in overnight tonight,
:11:04. > :11:04.into northern France tomorrow, and into northern France tomorrow, and
:11:05. > :11:06.then we have a ridge of high pressure which stays with us into
:11:07. > :11:08.Thursday. A fine evening, not much clout to start the night. Later in
:11:09. > :11:12.the night, more cloud just in from the north`west. It might be thick
:11:13. > :11:26.enough for the odd bit of drizzle, but it will be dry tonight, 16 the
:11:27. > :11:28.minimum temperature. A cloudy start to tomorrow, and by the afternoon we
:11:29. > :11:52.should have some very pleasant weather.
:11:53. > :11:59.A few showers are possible on Friday. The greatest fiscal showers
:12:00. > :12:07.will be as we move into the weekend, and also the breeze picking
:12:08. > :12:14.up from the south`west. Let's join Justin and Natalie now.
:12:15. > :12:17.Police say the use of Ketamine by people in parts of Somerset is
:12:18. > :12:23.There's been a dramatic rise in the amount seized
:12:24. > :12:28.Doctors say they've noticed more young professionals taking Ketamine,

:12:32. > :12:33.The drug is traditionally used as a horse tranquiliser.
:12:34. > :12:35.It is sometimes hard for us to detect

:12:40. > :12:46.Unlike powders which we find in bulk form, we can trace them back
:12:47. > :12:53.to a certain place in that house and it is sometimes hard to detect.
:12:54. > :12:56.What has been surprising about the use of Ketamine is they
:12:57. > :13:01.are more normal people with jobs and families who are presenting
:13:02. > :13:06.with chronic bladder problems as a result of their Ketamine use.
:13:07. > :13:09.Often they find the only way to cope with the symptoms is

:13:46. > :13:51.your blessings but you can't count on a good mobile phone signal.
:13:52. > :13:53.For users of one network, a novel approach has produced
:13:54. > :13:59.a mobile phone signal even though there is no mast nearby.
:14:00. > :14:02.A number of tiny transmitting boxes have been placed on a selection
:14:03. > :14:09.of local public buildings sending out a 3G signal.

:14:29. > :14:34.This is not technologically complex but it is expensive
:14:35. > :14:39.so you will only see this where maths don't work or aren't allowed.
:14:40. > :14:43.Vodafone wants more villages to come forward and get involved.
:14:44. > :14:47.This type of approach could benefit many areas, not just Devon.

:14:52. > :14:55.We have seen huge investment in broadband infrastructure
:14:56. > :14:59.so that is the fixed telephone line and our business has invested
:15:00. > :15:04.It gets frustrating when you're out on the road and haven't got
:15:05. > :15:08.the same level of connectivity as you have in the office.
:15:09. > :15:11.4G will cover more of the area but in the meantime,
:15:12. > :15:15.if I have one of the companies saying they will look at places to
:15:16. > :15:18.trial new technologies, I would like that to happen in north Cornwall.
:15:19. > :15:23.I am inviting people to put a bid in and get access.
:15:24. > :15:27.Anyone can get this as long as they have the approval
:15:28. > :15:31.of their local MP and also an acceptance that is the best local

:16:20. > :16:23.popular tourist attraction and today a time capsule was buried alongside
:16:24. > :16:34.A trip back in time for a ride on a steam train is a heritage experience
:16:35. > :16:38.but back in Victorian times, it was pioneering technology.
:16:39. > :16:43.In 1848, the first section of the Torquay line was opened.
:16:44. > :16:48.It was extended to Paignton but it wasn't until 1864 that
:16:49. > :16:52.the section between Paignton and Kingsmere was completed.
:16:53. > :16:57.At the station today, 150 years on from that historic opening,

:19:41. > :19:48.they are. Natalie and Sophie, lawn bowlers for England and you won a
:19:49. > :19:52.gold four years ago and now you are adorning the silver medal.
:19:53. > :19:57.Congratulations. Have you recover from that final? We started our
:19:58. > :20:02.second discipline now so we were back onto it and I had to forget
:20:03. > :20:07.about it and put it aside. It was amazing to win a silver medal. I was
:20:08. > :20:15.disappointed that I had lost but I had a medal in my second games. You
:20:16. > :20:20.are taking part in the pairs now. Can you go all the way again and win
:20:21. > :20:26.a gold? That is the aim. Another medal would be amazing but we have
:20:27. > :20:30.to take one game at a time. We have Wales tomorrow morning and Canada
:20:31. > :20:36.straight after. It will be a tough day but hopefully we can top our
:20:37. > :20:40.group. Sophie, you were on top form but you were eliminated but you have
:20:41. > :20:44.a chance of a muddle and emulating your old brother, Sam, who wore a
:20:45. > :20:57.bronze medal yesterday after winning in the men's pairs. We won one goal
:20:58. > :21:02.`` we won one game. It will be a big game for us and we need to win that
:21:03. > :21:08.game tomorrow to go through to the quarterfinals. Has Sam being
:21:09. > :21:11.encouraging you? He has been supportive but it is hard for us
:21:12. > :21:15.because a lot of our games are clashing so we are on the greens at
:21:16. > :21:18.the same time. He is really supportive to me and he tells me
:21:19. > :21:49.own performance. He was over the moon for me when I wore my medal and
:21:50. > :21:55.I was disappointed for them to miss out on the quarterfinals of the
:21:56. > :22:00.triples. They have another chance in the fours so hopefully they will be
:22:01. > :22:06.in the quarterfinals. Lovely to have you company. That is it from Glasgow
:22:07. > :23:26.this evening. You can find out more on our late bulletin.
:23:27. > :23:30.so far? Not much but I am enjoying it. I haven't counted. What are you
:23:31. > :23:38.hoping to spend with your money? Suites. How much are you hoping to
:23:39. > :23:46.get? ?1. I had to duck and dive but most of them were on the floor. No
:23:47. > :23:50.injuries? No. The custom dates back to 1221 when the more affluent
:23:51. > :23:55.inhabitants of the town would heat up coins in the fire and throw them
:23:56. > :23:59.to peasant children delighting in the squeals as they burnt themselves
:24:00. > :24:04.trying to retrieve them. You don't have to go back to the 13th century
:24:05. > :24:10.to get your fingers burned. It hit me on the nose and I had a score for
:24:11. > :24:18.a long time. It was really hot but with the change of legislation, they
:24:19. > :24:22.are not allowed to be hot any more. Today, it is lukewarm rather than
:24:23. > :24:26.hot pennies. Some of the youngsters have clearly done this before and
:24:27. > :24:34.have come prepared for a shower of copper. It is not so much about
:24:35. > :24:39.catching them but trying not to get hit by them. Hat wearers were
:24:40. > :24:49.definitely better off. How much have you caught? There is the town crier
:24:50. > :24:57.benevolent fund in there. Hopefully a lot. Hundreds of pounds do get
:24:58. > :25:00.thrown out. Custom dictates that no one is told how much is thrown out
:25:01. > :25:08.into the streets but it could be that nobody wants to count all of
:25:09. > :25:10.that copper. Reigning pennies there. It it `` is it raining elsewhere in
:25:11. > :25:21.the region? The cloud has broken up quite
:25:22. > :25:24.nicely. There could be large amounts of cloud around but it is still dry
:25:25. > :25:29.and there is still some sunshine coming through with top temperature
:25:30. > :25:34.is 22 Celsius. For the Commonwealth Games, it is a different story. We
:25:35. > :25:39.have cloudy skies tomorrow and some culprits of rain possible. For the
:25:40. > :25:49.athletes taking part, there will be some rain around. Not much happening
:25:50. > :25:52.this evening. We are left with a ridge of high pressure but changes
:25:53. > :25:58.are happening as we move towards the end of the week. We have the risk of
:25:59. > :26:02.showers on Thursday. Already you can see that cloud creeping in through
:26:03. > :26:09.the afternoon. This was earlier today. We did have some fine weather
:26:10. > :26:14.and sunshine and patchy cloud and on the beaches at the moment, it is
:26:15. > :26:22.pleasant. The sea temperature is 19 Celsius. Looking further ahead,
:26:23. > :26:26.overnight night would keep that cloud band moving through and it
:26:27. > :26:31.might generate a shower. By the early hours of the morning, that
:26:32. > :26:34.cloud band is breaking up. We have clearing skies letting the
:26:35. > :26:43.temperatures fall down to 12 Celsius. A cool start to the day
:26:44. > :26:47.tomorrow but large amounts of cloud throughout the day. There are sunny
:26:48. > :27:04.spells at times and temperatures similar to today. 21 or 22 Celsius.
:27:05. > :27:14.For the coastal waters, the winds are from the north`west tomorrow. I
:27:15. > :27:18.said there was going to be a change and it will happen on Thursday.
