    The submarine, whose name was originally put forward for the Royal Research Ship (RSS) by former BBC Radio Jersey presenter James Hand, was used in the Antarctic to map the movement of deep, cold water as it moves away from the White Continent towards the Atlantic Ocean.

    Scientists say this flow of water plays an important role in helping to regulate the Earth's climate system.

    Boaty made a total of three dives, reaching down to 4,000m below the surface.

    Having been on the top step of the podium in the 200m freestyle on Monday, swimmer Gemma Atherley won a silver medal 100m breaststroke to add to her collection.

    Atherley thought she had made it two silvers for the night when she finished second in the 200m individual medley, but was disqualified by officials for failing to touch the side of the pool on the turn.

    Peter Irving claimed Jersey's other silver on day three in the 110m hurdles.

    There were three bronze medals to add to Jersey's overall tally - coming in the mixed compound archery and both the men's and women's cross country mountain biking.

  11. Gotland Island Games: The scores on the boards...

    BBC Sport

    Day three of the Island Games saw a huge change in the medals table.

    A great day for Guernsey, who overtook Jersey to join the Faroe Islands and the Isle of Man in the top three, who, on points seem to be running away with the podium places.

  12. Air and sea link review 'could delay runway extension' in Guernsey

    BBC Radio Guernsey

    The politician responsible for Guernsey's transport links says he cannot be sure a review into the island's air and sea links will not kill off his committee's runway extension project.

    Guernsey airport

    In the States of Guernsey yesterday an amendment to the Policy and Resource Plan was past which means the runway project will be removed from the list of "pipeline projects".

    Whilst this does not mean scrapping the plans, the decision on what to do with Guernsey's runway will be taken along with an overall transport review, and not in isolation.

    Peter Ferbrache got behind the amendment and said he is still hopeful the extension can be completed before the end of the year.

    We're in a situation now with our air and our sea links that, they're not terrible, but they've got to be a heck of a lot better than they are. They've got to meet the needs of the tourists, the finance sector people and the people who live on this island.

    Deputy Peter Ferbrache

  15. Residents of tower blocks to meet developers to discuss safety

    BBC Radio Jersey

    Tenants of Jersey's high-rise tower blocks will be meeting Andium Homes to discuss safety concerns following Grenfell Tower fire in west London.

    Trevor Hillingdon, from the high-rise association, said while tenants have been assured the 11 tower blocks in Jersey are composed of different materials, they may have additional questions.

    A public inquiry has already been ordered into the 14 June blaze, which is feared to have left 79 people dead.

    Cladding from 95 towers in 32 local authority areas in England have failed fire safety tests - all of the samples submitted so far since the Grenfell Tower fire.

    Mr Hillingdon said tenants may want assurances high-rise buildings in Jersey are safe.
