:01:12. > :01:13.to the problem of sea lettuce. You have to be brave

:01:20. > :01:22.in St Aubin's Bay has become an unwelcome visitor in Jersey,
:01:23. > :01:26.year after year. It's mainly caused by waste from
:01:27. > :01:29.Bellozanne Sewage Treatment Works and nitrates in farming sprays
:01:30. > :01:31.and fertilisers, running off the land and into sea

:01:46. > :01:49.addressing the issue. Firstly is by placement
:01:50. > :01:52.of fertiliser in the field so we don't spread on any areas
:01:53. > :01:55.where potatoes aren't planted, and then there's a secondary method
:01:56. > :01:59.which is even more precise, where you actually put the nitrogen
:02:00. > :02:03.below the potato in the row, and because it's placed exactly
:02:04. > :02:05.where it's needed, you can reduce The report says there's no risk
:02:06. > :02:11.to health, and Jersey Water says it's safe to drink,
:02:12. > :02:14.although the company can't guarantee it meets drinking water standards
:02:15. > :02:19.for nitrate all the time. The review group wants
:02:20. > :02:21.an officer to oversee the reduction in nitrates,
:02:22. > :02:23.but they're worried the money to pay for one may come
:02:24. > :02:30.from other projects. There is certain money
:02:31. > :02:33.available until 2018. They will need to find more money
:02:34. > :02:37.from somewhere, and I hope it's not from their own existing resources
:02:38. > :02:40.because they are, it seems to us, stretched at times and they need
:02:41. > :02:43.more money from central government to enable this aspect
:02:44. > :02:45.to be carried out. But the minister says funding for
:02:46. > :02:57.other projects will be protected. We know we need to find the money
:02:58. > :03:00.for the post. I will be speaking to Jersey water and male officers, and

:07:18. > :07:22.something we should be worried about. If they are declining, it
:07:23. > :07:26.probably means the food source is changing. It raises concerns about

:08:19. > :08:21.Being a Scout has changed dramatically over the decades
:08:22. > :08:23.since it was first started in 1907 by this man Robert Baden-Powell.
:08:24. > :08:29.And it seems to be more popular than ever, with waiting lists
:08:30. > :08:33.In Guernsey there are currently 34 young people waiting to join.
:08:34. > :08:42.But the association needs more volunteers to make that happen,
:08:43. > :08:49.as it says adults have less time to give these days.
:08:50. > :08:51.Things do change and lifestyles change, but actually it's making

:09:42. > :09:51.David, that's the question I'm sure many are asking you.
:09:52. > :09:58.Yes, we have had some lovely weather over the past two days, but things
:09:59. > :10:01.are going to change. This is the blue skies we had earlier today. Not
:10:02. > :10:09.just for Jersey, the other islands have seen some of this to foot bid.
:10:10. > :10:15.Once we lose the sunshine it will not feel so warm. That process has
:10:16. > :10:18.already started. A fine start, but the cloud will move on, producing
:10:19. > :10:25.showers later in the day as well. Perhaps not quite the blue skies as
:10:26. > :10:28.we have seen. This area of high pressure is the reason, which is now
:10:29. > :10:32.on the move, allowing this weather front to come in. Slow progress
:10:33. > :10:38.overnight tonight, but it will bring showers through the day tomorrow, as
:10:39. > :10:41.the high-pressure weakens and travels ahead of us. Still close by
:10:42. > :10:46.for a Thursday and Friday, but a lot of cloud means we could keep a lot
:10:47. > :10:50.of cloud for much of the rest of this week, and into the start of the
:10:51. > :10:56.weekend. That there will be some sunny spells on Thursday. So,
:10:57. > :11:02.overnight tonight, the skies are clear, which means a chilly night
:11:03. > :11:05.again. Gentle wind from the north or Northwest, and overnight lows of
:11:06. > :11:11.seven or 8 degrees. It is going to be quite cold to start with. But it
:11:12. > :11:15.should be fine, dry with sunshine, and later in the deep thick cloud
:11:16. > :11:19.will move in. Thick enough to produce a few showers in the
:11:20. > :11:22.afternoon. Wins fresh and up from the north-west, so it will not feel
:11:23. > :11:42.as warm. A brisk wind will develop. The risk of a few showers, with
:11:43. > :11:49.generally good visibility. A lot of cloud for the rest of this weekend
:11:50. > :11:52.into Easter weekend. Generally on the cool side. Line not looking too
:11:53. > :11:59.bad. It would be nice if it was a bit warmer. That is it for the time
:12:00. > :12:05.being. I will be back with an update just before 8pm. And we have got
:12:06. > :12:20.your local news first, at 10:30pm. Until then, have a good evening.
:12:21. > :12:21.The weather has been glorious, prompting trips
:12:22. > :12:26.but that can seem like an impossible dream
:12:27. > :12:31.But thanks to Cornwall Accessible Activities that dream became reality
:12:32. > :12:38.A special pony and buggy were brought in for children
:12:39. > :12:40.in wheelchairs to enjoy the sand and the sea, games were put
:12:41. > :12:46.on and a mobile loo with a hoist was hired to make it all practically
:12:47. > :12:58.But usually there is a mountain to climb to make it happen
:12:59. > :13:01.Today, they are at the heart of the action.
:13:02. > :13:03.The pony and buggy brought make delighting in the sand
:13:04. > :13:11.Normally, it is impossible for us to manage a day at the beach.
:13:12. > :13:16.Today has been absolutely incredible so far.
:13:17. > :13:20.I can't believe what we've already done.
:13:21. > :13:22.Adam has whizzed across the sand using Obama the pony.
:13:23. > :13:25.He been in the waves, he has actually had the waves around him.
:13:26. > :13:29.He has had the experience that able-bodied children have.
:13:30. > :13:32.The thrill of running through the waves is a whole new sensation.
:13:33. > :13:36.Some wheelchair wheels just won't turn in the sand
:13:37. > :13:42.and a ten-year-old child is too heavy to be carried.
:13:43. > :13:46.That is why a day like this brings a sense of inclusion that can help
:13:47. > :13:48.tackle the feeling of isolation felt by some families
:13:49. > :13:56.If you are taking people to a place you love,
:13:57. > :13:59.and peole have never been able to access it, that gives
:14:00. > :14:06.You are sharing things you enjoy and that is always more fun.
:14:07. > :14:11.Apart from getting onto the sand, it is staying here for the day poses
:14:12. > :14:15.So Cornwall Accesible Activites programme, or CAAP,
:14:16. > :14:19.which is organising the day, has hired a mobile
:14:20. > :14:26.It is one less thing to worry about and it means the focus can be
:14:27. > :14:28.on the fun for Rachel, Adam and other families here.
:14:29. > :14:35.Cornwall has so few toilets like this.
:14:36. > :14:38.Lots of places do have them now but there's very few,
:14:39. > :14:41.and it is very limiting as to where you can go.
:14:42. > :14:45.Today is just one day, but CAAP hope it is a shift
:14:46. > :14:49.towards communities taking practical steps to help include everyone.
:14:50. > :14:52.We would like to see our young children have is ramps and walkways,
:14:53. > :14:56.and beach buggies that are acceptable and aren't locked
:14:57. > :14:59.away that you have permission to use three weeks advance with permits
:15:00. > :15:02.Just readily available equipment, that you can look out
:15:03. > :15:05.the window and think, it is a lovely day today, I will go
:15:06. > :15:09.down to the beach with the kids, and just know that you can do it
:15:10. > :15:12.Those are the things that we are looking for.
:15:13. > :15:14.That attitude of welcoming peolple with disability.
:15:15. > :15:17.It could be a long time before Adam can do this all again,
:15:18. > :15:29.but while he is here there is no stopping him.
:15:30. > :15:31.Absolutely brilliant, everyone enjoying the beach.
:15:32. > :15:34.Musicians from around the world are taking part in a unique online
:15:35. > :15:37.challenge to help raise money to save the life of
:15:38. > :15:39.Stephen Sykes is suffering from a blood cancer
:15:40. > :15:40.which isn't responding to conventional treatment.
:15:41. > :15:46.His doctors say he needs an expensive drug which isn't
:15:47. > :15:49.So musicians are rallying to the cause,
:15:50. > :16:23.from musicians in America... To the band of the Scots Guards.
:16:24. > :16:32.Trombonists... Guitarist... Even people with animal horns. They are
:16:33. > :16:37.all doing it, playing a piece of music called The Acrobat online and
:16:38. > :16:43.challenging others to do the same. And all to raise money for this man,
:16:44. > :16:45.a talented trombonist himself, now seriously ill with Hodgkin's
:16:46. > :16:50.lymphoma. Some of them have been really good, in fact, they all have
:16:51. > :16:58.been really good. Some have been so exciting that it is making my hair
:16:59. > :17:02.fall out now. Somebody was playing a carrot and a red pepper! Then we had
:17:03. > :17:05.one family from the other side of Wincanton in the garden with the
:17:06. > :17:13.grandchildren and I think they were playing watering cans. The Acrobat
:17:14. > :17:17.challenge which aims to raise ?90,000 for radical cancer treatment
:17:18. > :17:24.was the idea of another trombonist from Cambridgeshire, who just wanted
:17:25. > :17:26.to do something to help. I was aiming at trombonists and thinking
:17:27. > :17:31.about the Internet and the ice buckets challenge, it is a famous
:17:32. > :17:40.solo, The Acrobat, so the challenge sounded good. I had it a minute ago.
:17:41. > :17:49.Apparently the tune is so simple, anyone can do it. That is right.
:17:50. > :18:02.Yes, then... Almost anyone! Clinton Rogers, BBC Spotlight.
:18:03. > :18:05.Next tonight, a group which has been around for 90 years or so,
:18:06. > :18:07.so you may just have seen them in action.
:18:08. > :18:09.They're called the White Helmets and they've been performing
:18:10. > :18:13.at shows and events around the country since 1927.

:18:45. > :18:47.This is their last season before the team is disbanded.
:18:48. > :18:53.They teamwork and the effort that they put and is brilliant.
:18:54. > :19:03.A lot of kids and families enjoy the display.
:19:04. > :19:09.This move is called the double angel.
:19:10. > :19:15.There are 23 men here today forming the team.
:19:16. > :19:17.Two of those are black helmets hoping to gain

:19:51. > :19:56.For decades have been delivering vital messages,
:19:57. > :19:58.but now the Army wants to showcase the more modern ways
:19:59. > :20:03.The world changes and these represent the form of communication
:20:04. > :20:11.Of course, communication and today is fantastic.
:20:12. > :20:13.Very much electronic, and we must all live with those times.
:20:14. > :20:19.It is a very sophisticated organisation now.

:21:44. > :21:46.To be honest, we're rather surprised somewhere
:21:47. > :21:49.in the South West wasn't top - that honour went to the view
:21:50. > :21:53.from the summit of Snowdon, but we sent John Danks
:21:54. > :21:56.with his backpack to St Ives for the day to soak up
:21:57. > :22:14.St Ives is looking particularly gorgeous on this
:22:15. > :22:19.But what makes this view such an eye-pleaser?
:22:20. > :22:21.This is my favourite place in the whole world.
:22:22. > :22:25.For me, it is the iconic St Ives view.
:22:26. > :22:29.The higgledy-piggledy houses and the beautiful harbour.
:22:30. > :22:38.And whether on a smartphone or a more sophisticated camera,
:22:39. > :22:40.people gather here to snap the vista.
:22:41. > :22:47.The colours of the sea water just make it.
:22:48. > :22:55.I must have a thousand photographs and they are all different.
:22:56. > :23:03.You can see the harbour, you can see the boats going and out,
:23:04. > :23:07.and people on holiday, children enjoying themselves.
:23:08. > :23:11.This, it seems, is a view with a very special place
:23:12. > :23:29.And it is glorious, but there are so many places to choose from. Not one
:23:30. > :23:31.in Devon was mentioned and there are lots of places. Here is David with
:23:32. > :23:43.the weather. Sadly all good things must come to
:23:44. > :23:51.an end and I think that is good to happen over the next 24 hours. More
:23:52. > :23:55.clouds coming your way. Tomorrow, rather more cloud than you would
:23:56. > :23:58.like. Mostly dry but because the lose the sunshine just that bit
:23:59. > :24:03.cooler although the temperatures would be that different. There is
:24:04. > :24:07.clouds in the north-west. We have high pressure in charge just now but
:24:08. > :24:11.it is getting squashed and pushed down by this weather front from the
:24:12. > :24:15.north. There won't be a grey deal of rain on that one front but there
:24:16. > :24:21.will be a lot of cloud tomorrow. The area of high pressure close by is
:24:22. > :24:27.perhaps not strong enough to keep the cloud at bay on Thursday. On
:24:28. > :24:32.Friday, a couple of weather systems coming and means a rather grey day
:24:33. > :24:35.and a possibility of some light rain or drizzle will stop that is the
:24:36. > :24:40.satellite picture from earlier today. Let me show you what it is
:24:41. > :24:46.like right now in expert when it has been a glorious day. Beautiful, fine
:24:47. > :24:51.weather. Not a grey deal of breeze but enough for some other sailors. A
:24:52. > :24:56.lovely end to the date with relatively quiet seas along this
:24:57. > :25:01.stretch of the Devon coastline. From here, we go to Branscombe Woodhead
:25:02. > :25:09.has also been a fine today. These badgers have been found by our
:25:10. > :25:12.cameraman. It was like things have pointed down here. Temperatures
:25:13. > :25:19.haven't been particularly high today. They see temperature is still
:25:20. > :25:23.just 10 degrees at the moment. Letters follow the progress of that
:25:24. > :25:27.weather front to the north. I don't think it will reach as overnight,
:25:28. > :25:34.just more cloud. Like we saw last night, a lot of clear skies which
:25:35. > :25:38.means it will be quite cold. In a few places temperatures will get
:25:39. > :25:42.down to 45 degrees, most of us holding up quite well. Tomorrow we
:25:43. > :25:46.have more cloud around and it is capable of producing showers to it.
:25:47. > :25:49.Some brief breaks in the cloud letting the sun and but not too blue
:25:50. > :25:54.skies that we have seen everywhere to date. There will be a keen wind
:25:55. > :26:00.from the north wind. Top temperature of 12 or 13 degrees. Here it will be
:26:01. > :26:11.bright and mostly dry but at times cloudy. There are times of high
:26:12. > :26:13.water... The staff will pick up. Small waves at the moment but they
:26:14. > :26:20.will pick up in the second half of the week up to two or three feet.
:26:21. > :26:30.Choppy on the north goes. There is a coastal waters forecast... Brighter
:26:31. > :26:34.on Thursday, rather grey and cloudy for Good Friday and a future was
:26:35. > :26:35.around on Saturday and temperatures back down to normal. Have a good
:26:36. > :26:38.evening. So - St Ives, one of the best
:26:39. > :26:41.views in the country - but as we know, there
:26:42. > :26:43.are so many others. Over to you now and some
:26:44. > :26:45.of your favourite views There have never been
:26:46. > :27:37.so many people in work - that's what the Government
:27:38. > :27:40.keeps telling us. But what's the reality of this
:27:41. > :27:44.Tory jobs bonanza?
