Thousands of full bottles washed up
Thousands of full plastic water bottles have washed up along the coasts of the Channel Islands.

Many have been washed up on St Ouen's Bay in Jersey and Lihou Island in Guernsey, where a youth group collected 566 bottles at the weekend.
About 5,000 water bottles have already been collected in Guernsey alone.
Marine biologist Richard Lord said he believed the bottles came from a cargo ship in a pallet which was broken apart during the recent storms.
Mr Lord said clearing the full bottles had been "incredibly wasteful" because many had had to be emptied to carry them off beaches.
He said: "Single-use plastic has a huge environmental impact, not only on fossil fuels to manufacture it and all the emissions associated with producing these bottles, but then the disposable costs as well to society."
Plastic bottles were "very convenient to use" he said, "but it's ... storing up a long-term problem for our environment."
Participants from the youth group from St Saviours Church collecting bottles on Lihou Island said it was "sad" seeing the amount of bottles.
The States of Guernsey thanked islanders for their efforts and said it would continue to monitor the beaches.
