still the potential. Quite nasty weather. To keep an eye on | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
We speak to one para`athlete who wants the Island Games opened up | :00:09. | :00:20. | |
And we're on the road with Jersey's marathon man ` and find out why he's | :00:21. | :00:28. | |
running round the island seven times in seven days. | :00:29. | :00:41. | |
I'm quite stiff and have blisters. But morale is high and people are | :00:42. | :00:45. | |
stopping me and saying well done. Jersey's first maternity law is just | :00:46. | :00:53. | |
the beginning of a better deal for parents according to | :00:54. | :00:57. | |
the Minister behind it. Senator Francis le Gresley says | :00:58. | :00:59. | |
the 18 weeks of maternity leave ` with just two of those weeks paid ` | :01:00. | :01:02. | |
recently approved It comes | :01:03. | :01:04. | |
as a Jersey mother describes His mum Rachel has | :01:05. | :01:09. | |
an understanding employer. She was given six | :01:10. | :01:21. | |
months paid maternity. But she's not impressed with | :01:22. | :01:23. | |
the minimum levels It is ridiculous. The States of | :01:24. | :01:39. | |
Jersey have a good maternity grant policy, so thank goodness that is | :01:40. | :01:43. | |
around. Maternity benefit I could not have got by with a mortgage to | :01:44. | :01:49. | |
pay without it. So thank goodness that support is in place. But, two | :01:50. | :01:51. | |
weeks is laughable. But until last month, | :01:52. | :01:53. | |
Jersey companies didn't legally have Now employers will have to offer | :01:54. | :01:55. | |
18 weeks with two of those paid. Jersey's Social Security Minister ` | :01:56. | :02:01. | |
who was behind the vote ` This is just the beginning | :02:02. | :02:04. | |
of very important rights that are In particular the rights to request | :02:05. | :02:22. | |
flexible working when you return to employment after possibly having a | :02:23. | :02:27. | |
baby or needing to care for somebody. Those are valuable rights, | :02:28. | :02:31. | |
the right to return to the same job for a woman who has taken 18 weeks | :02:32. | :02:33. | |
maternity leave. Rights the lucky ones like Rachel | :02:34. | :02:33. | |
have already made the most of. She can't imagine what life is | :02:34. | :02:36. | |
like for some Jersey families. A friend got three months unpaid, | :02:37. | :02:39. | |
not what she wanted Her company offered up to three | :02:40. | :02:54. | |
months off, but unpaid. She was in a much worse situation and it is not | :02:55. | :02:56. | |
what she wanted, as I say. The new law won't offer new mums | :02:57. | :02:57. | |
much more, but it will be reviewed A police officer has appeared | :02:58. | :03:01. | |
in Jersey's Magistrates Court accused of driving without due care | :03:02. | :03:09. | |
and attention. It's after his patrol car overturned | :03:10. | :03:11. | |
on St Clement's Coast Road James Andrew Jenkinson, who's 38, | :03:12. | :03:14. | |
asked the Assistant Magistrate, Peter Harris, for time to get | :03:15. | :03:18. | |
further legal advice. His case was adjourned for three | :03:19. | :03:24. | |
weeks, and he'll appear again The sentencing of a man in Jersey | :03:25. | :03:26. | |
found guilty of stabbing his Neil William Bennett, | :03:27. | :03:32. | |
seen here wearing the blue tie, was convicted of grave | :03:33. | :03:36. | |
and criminal assault in June. He stabbed | :03:37. | :03:39. | |
his business partner Justin Sumrie three times with a knife after | :03:40. | :03:42. | |
discussions concerning their retail The Royal Court was concerned | :03:43. | :03:44. | |
the 49`year`old was representing himself and adjourned the case | :03:45. | :03:47. | |
so he could get a lawyer. Mr Bennett has been remanded | :03:48. | :03:50. | |
in custody until the 29th of August, when a date will be set | :03:51. | :03:52. | |
for his sentencing and In this race at the | :03:53. | :03:55. | |
Commonwealth Games, a 13`year`old from the Shetland Islands becomes | :03:56. | :04:06. | |
the youngest Scottish athlete to win In this race at the | :04:07. | :04:09. | |
Commonwealth Games, a 13`year`old from the Shetland Islands becomes | :04:10. | :04:17. | |
the youngest Scottish athlete to win You can see how much | :04:18. | :04:20. | |
it means to her. But although she can compete | :04:21. | :04:24. | |
in the games at Glasgow, she can't compete in a disabled | :04:25. | :04:26. | |
event at the Island Games due to be And someone else who would love to | :04:27. | :04:29. | |
have the chance to compete in the Island Games is Guernsey | :04:30. | :04:40. | |
swimmer Elizabeth Northrop. She has won national medals | :04:41. | :04:43. | |
at competitions in England. She has a learning disability so her | :04:44. | :04:45. | |
mother Jane speaks on her behalf. It is a shame. They don't seem to be | :04:46. | :04:59. | |
offering it for opening it to anybody with a disability, which, | :05:00. | :05:04. | |
again is a lost opportunity. They don't seem to be doing anything, | :05:05. | :05:09. | |
they had an opportunity and it does not seem to be taken up. | :05:10. | :05:13. | |
But the Association that runs the Island Games says there have been | :05:14. | :05:16. | |
In a statement the Association's General Secretary says | :05:17. | :05:28. | |
But will disabled athletes be treated equally | :05:29. | :05:30. | |
and have the opportunity to compete at next summer's games in Jersey? | :05:31. | :05:37. | |
Clearly, when you talk about the Commonwealth or the Olympics, they | :05:38. | :05:43. | |
are actually global. And they go over 11 or 12 days. So they have the | :05:44. | :05:48. | |
time to fit those in, and of course, the Olympics as a separate Olympics | :05:49. | :05:53. | |
for Paralympic and is. I don't think it is something at the moment that | :05:54. | :05:54. | |
the Islands could actually consider. For disability campaigners, | :05:55. | :05:57. | |
it's come as no surprise. Over the last 25 years, we have been | :05:58. | :06:07. | |
running our own disability games in Jersey. I know for a fact much goes | :06:08. | :06:12. | |
into that, and if we had able`bodied athletics going on at the same time | :06:13. | :06:16. | |
I do not think our infrastructure would cope. That's the honest truth. | :06:17. | :06:17. | |
Some disabled athletes say being allowed to compete at big events is | :06:18. | :06:20. | |
But many things will have to change before the Island Games Association | :06:21. | :06:24. | |
commits to providing that opportunity. | :06:25. | :06:31. | |
Questions are being raised over whether there's a better way | :06:32. | :06:34. | |
of providing medical evacuation flights in Guernsey. | :06:35. | :06:36. | |
The health authorities currently use a company in the UK for medivacs. | :06:37. | :06:39. | |
Last year more than 250 flights were needed, | :06:40. | :06:42. | |
More than half were for cardiology patients. | :06:43. | :06:51. | |
With the number of flights for cardiology cases, you have to ask | :06:52. | :06:56. | |
the number of questions. First of all, how much are we paying per year | :06:57. | :07:01. | |
for medical flights and, secondly, because we have known for four years | :07:02. | :07:06. | |
about this, cut that number be reduced to gather particular | :07:07. | :07:07. | |
cardiologist? You're watching the BBC | :07:08. | :07:10. | |
in the Channel Islands. Later in Spotlight with Justin find | :07:11. | :07:12. | |
out why thousands of Canadians arrived in the South West | :07:13. | :07:14. | |
during WWI. Now to a feat of endurance | :07:15. | :07:23. | |
never attempted before. A Jersey man is on the verge | :07:24. | :07:25. | |
of completing a 330 mile run That's all the way round Jersey's | :07:26. | :07:28. | |
48.1 miles of coastline, every day, Paul Burrows is doing it to | :07:29. | :07:32. | |
raise money for Jersey Hospice. Our reporter Tim Robinson joined him | :07:33. | :07:37. | |
on day six. When you are running 48 miles every | :07:38. | :07:50. | |
day for a week, you have to get up early. On the sixth morning of his | :07:51. | :07:55. | |
challenge, 240 miles in with almost a hundred more to go, this ultra | :07:56. | :08:00. | |
marathon runner is feeling remarkably positive. I'm quite | :08:01. | :08:04. | |
stiff, I have blisters. Morality is high though, and many people are | :08:05. | :08:08. | |
stopping me and saying well done. All the donations are flying in and | :08:09. | :08:13. | |
it has been really positive, an amazing experience. Blisters aside, | :08:14. | :08:17. | |
after a very short warm up, Paul and his team are ready to hit the road | :08:18. | :08:19. | |
for yet another run around the rock. How is it been so far? three and a | :08:20. | :08:46. | |
half miles! Paul hopes to raise ?15,000 for Jersey Hospice and cross | :08:47. | :08:50. | |
the finishing line for its million pound lottery. To get there and to | :08:51. | :08:56. | |
get there and finish I didn't think I was going to make it to be honest, | :08:57. | :09:01. | |
so yes, really looking forward to it. He has pounded the pavements and | :09:02. | :09:05. | |
barely broken a sweat, but even the fittest of runners need a tea break. | :09:06. | :09:12. | |
Bye`macro how you feeling? Feeling OK, it has been quite hard going. | :09:13. | :09:16. | |
I'm going to have some lunch now to give me a bit of a boost. It is very | :09:17. | :09:21. | |
hot today, but it is fine. With three and a miles complete and one | :09:22. | :09:25. | |
more lap to go, Paul is one day away from completing the challenge of a | :09:26. | :09:29. | |
lifetime. There is only the small matter of 48 more miles standing in | :09:30. | :09:30. | |
his way. . Perhaps early in the morning | :09:31. | :10:02. | |
tomorrow, we may see a few showers and brighter conditions into the | :10:03. | :10:05. | |
afternoon. The breeze will pick up as we move into the evening, too. | :10:06. | :10:09. | |
But we are beginning to lose the influence of high pressure and low | :10:10. | :10:12. | |
pressure is taking charge for the weekend, and, in fact, for the early | :10:13. | :10:18. | |
part next week the clouds to the south west of rain bearing clouds, | :10:19. | :10:22. | |
and they will brush past is to gain overnight to lie to the East honours | :10:23. | :10:25. | |
throughout the middle of the day tomorrow. Also a line of showers is | :10:26. | :10:30. | |
approaching from the far west corner of France. That will give a showers | :10:31. | :10:34. | |
as we move into the evening. Between those two, we should have some fine | :10:35. | :10:39. | |
weather. This is the tropical storm were worried about at the minute, | :10:40. | :10:42. | |
that moves up past Spain and Portugal and could be a feature as a | :10:43. | :10:46. | |
move into Sunday. This is Saturday's forecast, by Sunday, that | :10:47. | :10:50. | |
low pressure will sweep through the English Channel. This is its most | :10:51. | :10:54. | |
likely cause. If it follows this course, we will see some pretty | :10:55. | :10:58. | |
lively winds as well as quite heavy rain. A bit of a warning for you, is | :10:59. | :11:05. | |
for Sunday, heavy rain, 50 or 60 mph gust of wind and some large waves on | :11:06. | :11:10. | |
the beach is. Quiet overnight tonight, temperatures dipping down | :11:11. | :11:15. | |
to as low as 15 or 16 degrees. Of us tomorrow morning, it is a relatively | :11:16. | :11:20. | |
quiet, rather cloudy, bat`macro cloudy and bit of rain. It will | :11:21. | :11:24. | |
break up quite nicely into the afternoon when the showers disappear | :11:25. | :11:27. | |
and the Sun tries to break through the cloud. Temperatures of around 18 | :11:28. | :11:32. | |
or 20 degrees. When's the going north westerly. Showers, then fair, | :11:33. | :11:41. | |
and generally good for them to track of visibility. Stay tuned to your | :11:42. | :11:52. | |
local Radio 4 updates for the week and's weather. | :11:53. | :12:03. | |
Find out why Jersey`born actor, Henry Cavill, is home | :12:04. | :12:05. | |
We shall tell you all tomorrow night at 6.30pm here on BBC One. | :12:06. | :12:19. | |
Research by Exeter University has linked | :12:20. | :12:31. | |
It's the vitamin found in exposure to sunlight, | :12:32. | :12:34. | |
The six`year study, found that people with severe vitamin D | :12:35. | :12:43. | |
deficiency were more than twice as likely to develop dementia. | :12:44. | :12:46. | |
Organisations which support older people have welcomed the findings | :12:47. | :12:48. | |
We all know that getting out in the fresh air is good for us. This | :12:49. | :13:01. | |
research take things one step further. The study of 1600 elderly | :13:02. | :13:06. | |
people with moderate vitamin D deficiency had a 15% increased risk | :13:07. | :13:11. | |
of developing some form of dementia. For those with extreme deficiency | :13:12. | :13:17. | |
the risk increased eye 125%. It really is quite significant. | :13:18. | :13:21. | |
Dementia is such a common disease. More than one in every 100 people | :13:22. | :13:25. | |
have it, which is hundreds of thousands of people in England, | :13:26. | :13:29. | |
alone, and if we can make a small difference and stop a few people | :13:30. | :13:34. | |
getting it, then it will affect millions of people worldwide. | :13:35. | :13:38. | |
Anything we can do to protect people from getting Alzheimer's and the | :13:39. | :13:43. | |
manger will be really important. The research has been welcomed by | :13:44. | :13:46. | |
charities working with the elderly. We know that dementia services have | :13:47. | :13:51. | |
been historically underfunded, so we need to put more money into | :13:52. | :13:54. | |
research. We know that the numbers are going up and up because we are | :13:55. | :13:59. | |
all living longer. This kind of research is so desperately needed. | :14:00. | :14:05. | |
If it give us some pointers about how we can manage in the future, | :14:06. | :14:08. | |
that is very positive. This summer we have had some great weather but | :14:09. | :14:14. | |
the winter months limit exposure to sunlight, and therefore, vitamin D. | :14:15. | :14:20. | |
Apart from holidays abroad and lots of oily fish, what are the | :14:21. | :14:24. | |
alternatives, and do vitamin D supplements offer real value? The | :14:25. | :14:27. | |
study does not necessarily say that if you take more vitamin D you will | :14:28. | :14:32. | |
protect yourself against the manger. We need trials of vitamin D | :14:33. | :14:38. | |
supplements to see if that is the case. Following this research and | :14:39. | :14:41. | |
other studies, those trials will take place and we will await those, | :14:42. | :14:47. | |
with interest. Whilst the pros and cons of exposure to the sun must be | :14:48. | :14:51. | |
balanced, Exeter medical School hopes that further research will | :14:52. | :14:54. | |
help turn the rising tide in dementia. | :14:55. | :15:01. | |
The events of the Great War, although horrific, | :15:02. | :15:03. | |
inspired some of the greatest writers of the 20th Century. | :15:04. | :15:07. | |
Tonight, in the fourth in our series World War One At Home, | :15:08. | :15:10. | |
I've been finding out more about the unexpected arrival of | :15:11. | :15:12. | |
thousands of Canadians in Plymouth, and how it went on to inspire | :15:13. | :15:15. | |
In Flanders Fields, the poppies blow | :15:16. | :16:05. | |
If the opportunity arose they would try and get onshore | :16:06. | :17:52. | |
and have a couple of pints and that is where the trouble would start. | :17:53. | :17:59. | |
The various brothel keepers would be quite interested in these men. | :18:00. | :18:03. | |
I think in many respects, it was mostly hijinks. There were a number | :18:04. | :18:11. | |
of men charged with drunk and disorderly behaviour and they were | :18:12. | :18:15. | |
immediately discharged and sent back to Canada. The only numbered very | :18:16. | :18:22. | |
few. Most of the men were shipped to Salisbury plain buddy prepared to go | :18:23. | :18:25. | |
to the front. Thousands of them terraced alongside their allies. `` | :18:26. | :18:33. | |
where they prepared. We are the dead. Short days ago, we lived, and | :18:34. | :18:40. | |
felt dawn. We loved and well loved, and now we lie in Flanders fields. | :18:41. | :18:48. | |
John MacRae, who arrived in Plymouth with the Canadians, died in the last | :18:49. | :18:53. | |
year of the war. There is a surprising twist to the story. The | :18:54. | :18:57. | |
arrival of the Canadians ultimately inspired another famous author. It | :18:58. | :19:04. | |
is a great story. This is win either there. They smuggled him on board | :19:05. | :19:09. | |
the ship they were loaded on. He went across the Atlantic and was | :19:10. | :19:14. | |
unloaded quietly. He was shipped with the unit to Salisbury plain. | :19:15. | :19:20. | |
One of his favourite tricks was to climb up the tent pole and shake the | :19:21. | :19:23. | |
tent violently. And as the bear got bigger, p were beginning to fall. | :19:24. | :19:31. | |
Once they went off to the fun, what happened to the bear? Her owner | :19:32. | :19:37. | |
decided that it was unfair to take the bear to France. So it stay that | :19:38. | :19:43. | |
London zoo. He would come back on leave and visit the bear. And when | :19:44. | :19:46. | |
the war finished it became quite an attraction. This is where a a Milne | :19:47. | :19:52. | |
got the story about Winnie the Pooh. He would take his son, Christopher | :19:53. | :19:58. | |
Robin, the London zoo, to meet Winnie. Because of that little bear | :19:59. | :20:03. | |
from Winnipeg, the world has shared the stories of Christopher Robin. A | :20:04. | :20:10. | |
century after the Canadians arrived at Plymouth, we can look back and | :20:11. | :20:14. | |
see how the great War inspired those authors and know that they are | :20:15. | :20:18. | |
writing would continue to inspire generations to come. Take up our | :20:19. | :20:24. | |
quarrel with the flow. To you, with failing hands, we throw the torch. | :20:25. | :20:29. | |
If you break faith with us who died, we shall not sleep. For poppies | :20:30. | :20:47. | |
grow, in Flanders fields. Winnie the Pooh is a character we have all | :20:48. | :20:50. | |
grown up with. I never knew that about the origins of him. | :20:51. | :20:54. | |
And tomorrow, in our final film in this series | :20:55. | :20:57. | |
marking the 100th anniversary of the First World War, | :20:58. | :20:59. | |
who sent hundreds of a fresh eggs to soldiers on the front line | :21:00. | :21:04. | |
and became a much`loved figure as a result. | :21:05. | :21:06. | |
Dartmouth has been hosting what's described as | :21:07. | :21:08. | |
one of the world's most luxurious cruise liners. | :21:09. | :21:15. | |
Hundreds of five`star passengers are visiting the town for a day trip | :21:16. | :21:18. | |
while on a cruise around Britain on the Europa. | :21:19. | :21:20. | |
It's all part of a new initiative by local business to encourage more | :21:21. | :21:23. | |
cruise liners to stop at Dartmouth and increase international tourism. | :21:24. | :21:27. | |
The cruise ship market is very lucrative. The customers come on | :21:28. | :21:35. | |
board these smaller, bespoke, high class ships, and they have a very | :21:36. | :21:40. | |
large market that they can bring two, spending a lot of money. It is | :21:41. | :21:45. | |
a statement of intent about the kind of customer that we are trying to | :21:46. | :21:46. | |
attract the Dartmouth. Fans of folk festivals are about | :21:47. | :21:50. | |
to mark another off the calendar. Sidmouth draws to a close tomorrow | :21:51. | :21:53. | |
but the season is far from over. There are another six events to go | :21:54. | :21:56. | |
in the South West Simon Clemison has been finding | :21:57. | :21:59. | |
out why the Sidmouth Festival For the grandfather of folk | :22:00. | :22:16. | |
festivals, they start young, but it will not mean that was the more come | :22:17. | :22:24. | |
with age. Then again, folk music was always difficult to put into words. | :22:25. | :22:29. | |
So try numbers. There are tens of thousands of people here this week. | :22:30. | :22:35. | |
This festival is in it 60 year. And since its inception, more festivals | :22:36. | :22:38. | |
have developed in the south`west. There are some festivals in Somerset | :22:39. | :22:45. | |
and in various places throughout Devon and Cornwall. You can see why | :22:46. | :22:52. | |
I might need all of these. Although please other festivals are the new | :22:53. | :22:57. | |
kids on the block, are they not? When you have been around for 60 | :22:58. | :23:01. | |
years, mostly everybody is a new kid on the block. Why have we not had | :23:02. | :23:07. | |
festivals for hundreds of years? People did it all at home, they did | :23:08. | :23:12. | |
it in the village. Singing within families. They did not need them. | :23:13. | :23:16. | |
Eclectic is probably the best description, and impressive. If you | :23:17. | :23:22. | |
could play the fiddle whilst Pat Vincennes, you would. I love that of | :23:23. | :23:27. | |
all ages, everybody can join in, and there is a lovely feeling about it. | :23:28. | :23:34. | |
I am under 60, yes. Dartmoor begins as Sidmouth ends, but one of the | :23:35. | :23:39. | |
early pioneers now comes sprinkled with a little Hollywood magic. A | :23:40. | :23:49. | |
beautiful day in Sidmouth, but the weather is about to change. Some | :23:50. | :24:01. | |
showers will develop across Cornwall and West Devon with the breeze | :24:02. | :24:05. | |
picking up during the course of the day. | :24:06. | :24:09. | |
We have a lump of cloud on the edge of the screen. That is an area of | :24:10. | :24:15. | |
low pressure that is heading our way. By the middle of the day | :24:16. | :24:21. | |
tomorrow, by the time we get into Saturday specially, Saturday night | :24:22. | :24:25. | |
in the Sunday, this former Tropical Storm Fitow was a headache. It's | :24:26. | :24:29. | |
most likely track will take it through the English Channel then up | :24:30. | :24:34. | |
into the North Sea. There will be some very strong winds and heavy | :24:35. | :24:38. | |
rain associated with it. There is some uncertainty as to how deep it | :24:39. | :24:43. | |
will be and its exact location. Some heavy rain is possible, with winds | :24:44. | :24:49. | |
of up to 60 miles an hour. And some quite big waves on the beach through | :24:50. | :24:53. | |
Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. We have had a lovely day today. This was | :24:54. | :24:59. | |
earlier today in Merivale where we have had some beautiful blue skies. | :25:00. | :25:04. | |
Looking resplendent in the sunshine. These pictures were shot by colour | :25:05. | :25:10. | |
cameraman. It was too hot for the cattle by the look of it, taking | :25:11. | :25:16. | |
some shade where they could. If not a little on the dry side, because of | :25:17. | :25:20. | |
all of the fine weather that we have seen in the last few weeks. That is | :25:21. | :25:24. | |
about to change, but not for tonight or tomorrow. There will be some | :25:25. | :25:28. | |
showers later on coming into the far west of Cornwall. But it will be a | :25:29. | :25:32. | |
dry night with temperatures coming down to 12, 13 Celsius. Tomorrow | :25:33. | :25:38. | |
morning, after a cool start, it will warm up across parts of Somerset and | :25:39. | :25:43. | |
Dorset. Another fine day, with the sub Devon not faring too badly | :25:44. | :25:48. | |
either. Some showers around the middle of the day, fading away | :25:49. | :25:52. | |
during the course of the afternoon. Holding onto that fine weather | :25:53. | :25:57. | |
across Somerset and Dorset. The highest temperature, 23 Celsius, in | :25:58. | :26:05. | |
that sunshine. Sunny spells in the afternoon for the Isles of Scilly. | :26:06. | :26:07. | |
And the times of high water. The waves are picking up as we head | :26:08. | :26:22. | |
into the weekend. Similar conditions on the north coast. Those waves are | :26:23. | :26:26. | |
getting bigger and bigger as we head into Saturday and Sunday. Looking | :26:27. | :26:33. | |
further ahead, at the forecast for the weekend, on Saturday we expect | :26:34. | :26:39. | |
to see some breezy conditions. The coastal waters forecast for | :26:40. | :26:39. | |
tomorrow. On Sunday, windy with persistent | :26:40. | :26:51. | |
rain early on, then becoming showery, then for money and choose | :26:52. | :26:56. | |
the next week, breezy and showery conditions. `` for Monday and | :26:57. | :26:58. | |
Tuesday. Now have you got a question for | :26:59. | :27:03. | |
the mayor of Torbay, Gordon Oliver? Well, tomorrow he will be in | :27:04. | :27:06. | |
Good Morning Devon's Hotseat with Matt Woodley on BBC Radio Devon | :27:07. | :27:08. | |
from 8am to 9am tomorrow morning. That's all from us for now. | :27:09. | :27:11. | |
Have a good evening. | :27:12. | :27:20. |
