This is the image of Jersey portrayed to the outside world. An | :00:59. | :01:05. | |
island of wealthy people with a taste for good living. Now Jersey's | :01:05. | :01:13. | |
Government wants to attract more 1:1K residents. There are more than | :01:13. | :01:19. | |
100 in Jersey. The minimum amount of tax the super rich pay has | :01:19. | :01:25. | |
increased by 25%. Under the new plans, the amount of tax would drop | :01:25. | :01:35. | |
from 20% to 1% after the first large lump sum. It is about | :01:35. | :01:39. | |
enhancing the island. The knock-on effect these people give is | :01:39. | :01:44. | |
absolutely huge. They do not just employ housekeepers, gardeners etc. | :01:44. | :01:50. | |
They invest quite substantially. The it should not be happening on | :01:50. | :01:55. | |
the simple grounds of fairness. it should not be happening. We're | :01:55. | :02:00. | |
talking about a set of individuals who would pay 1% tax on Nani | :02:00. | :02:05. | |
earnings and compete with local based companies. -- any. That | :02:05. | :02:10. | |
should not be allowed to happen. is argued the move would make | :02:10. | :02:18. | |
Jersey more competitive. everybody wants to be less tax. -- | :02:18. | :02:24. | |
everybody. And if we want to compete against other jurisdictions, | :02:24. | :02:33. | |
we should look at these things. -- if we want to complete. It is about | :02:34. | :02:41. | |
boosting the economy. I would hope that they have their pain the right | :02:41. | :02:48. | |
amount of tax, we would pay less. Making the rich richer or competing | :02:48. | :02:55. | |
on a global scale? It is all about money, money, money. An inquest | :02:55. | :02:59. | |

a car on this road last August. He had been driving his motorbike very | :03:13. | :03:18. | |
fast without protective clothing. A 23-year-old man was critically | :03:18. | :03:24. | |
injured. Guernsey police received more than 100 calls from people | :03:24. | :03:29. | |
complaining about noise from the current V-Festival. Guidelines | :03:29. | :03:35. | |
state the noise levels should not exceed Butt macro -- Guernsey | :03:35. | :03:40. | |
Festival. There will be discussions to see how noise levels can be | :03:40. | :03:47. | |
reduced. It is so learning exercise. We have got a meeting arranged to | :03:47. | :03:51. | |
discuss all the issues that arose from this event. That will be | :03:51. | :04:00. | |
discussed. Jersey's planning minister has resigned. It comes | :04:00. | :04:04. | |
three months before a general election. Senator Freddie Cohen has | :04:04. | :04:09. | |
made the decision with a heavy heart but blames the workload. He | :04:09. | :04:15. | |
wants to concentrate on the role as foreign minister. He has been in | :04:15. | :04:20. | |
the role for six years and hopes he has changed the wagers he thinks | :04:20. | :04:24. | |
about what to build and were to build it. In a statement, Senator | :04:24. | :04:29. | |
Freddie Cohen says his new job as foreign minister needs dedicated | :04:29. | :04:34. | |
commitment. Last week I had to cancel 20 meetings with | :04:34. | :04:39. | |
parliamentarians and officials in Brussels and Westminster had Wright | :04:39. | :04:43. | |
17 letters of apology, including to the Prime Minister and Deputy Prime | :04:43. | :04:51. | |
Minister. -- had to write. Recently Senator Cohen found himself the | :04:51. | :05:00. | |
target of anti-Semitic attacks over a development at Portelet. Has that | :05:00. | :05:04. | |
got anything to do with your decision? It is not specifically | :05:04. | :05:11. | |
related to it but it did not help matters. To David Chief Minister | :05:11. | :05:17. | |
praised Senator Cohen. -- today. He wants to put heart and soul into it. | :05:17. | :05:23. | |
I know he was frustrated he did not have sufficient time to devote to | :05:23. | :05:28. | |
the important area. announcement has also caused | :05:28. | :05:31. | |
reaction from heritage groups. Christopher Svholefield from Save | :05:32. | :05:36. | |
Jersey's Heritage says the next planning minister will have to live | :05:36. | :05:40. | |
up to certain expectations and legacies. Everything has to be | :05:40. | :05:44. | |
looked at as part of an overall poll so that Jersey leaves it | :05:44. | :05:47. | |
visitors and residents with the feeling it has a very special and | :05:47. | :05:55. | |
unique character. It is within our grasp. Senator Freddie Cohen will | :05:56. | :06:02. | |
stay on until the elections later this year. His departure will come | :06:02. | :06:07. | |
as a bitter blow. Next week's -- next week his replacement will be | :06:07. | :06:16. | |
