to be transformed thanks to thousands of pounds of investment. | :00:24. | :00:34. | |

Join me when I will be turning this Good evening. The Channel Islands | :00:42. | :00:50. | |
are used to earing arguments about the waters around us. -- hearing. | :00:50. | :00:54. | |
Jersey has been chosen to host a major conference on the future of | :00:54. | :00:59. | |
whaling. Prole and anti-whaling groups will descend on the island | :00:59. | :01:04. | |
for the International Whaling Commission. It is an industry that | :01:04. | :01:10. | |
has aroused passions for decades. Next week that Storm will land on | :01:10. | :01:19. | |
the shores of Jersey. Despite the global ban on whaling, more than | :01:19. | :01:24. | |
200,000 whales are killed each year. Anti-whaling campaigner Barbara | :01:24. | :01:28. | |
Viega is part of a campaign action group dedicated to fighting the | :01:28. | :01:38. | |
:01:38. | :01:39. | ||
practice. The idea was to come up with a strategy to stop whaling. Do | :01:39. | :01:47. | |
not allow them to refuel, do not allow them... We put the vessels in | :01:47. | :01:55. | |
front of them. Her group, Seashepherd, is one anti-whaling | :01:55. | :01:58. | |
organisation that will have lobby delegates at the International | :01:58. | :02:07. | |
Whaling Commission in the Hotel de France next week. It is a forum for | :02:07. | :02:10. | |
governments to come together and talk about whaling and the | :02:10. | :02:18. | |
conservation of whales. There is quite a lot of interest in looking | :02:18. | :02:23. | |
at the commission rules and Government procedures. The issue is | :02:23. | :02:28. | |
set to spread outside the conference walls. These peaceful | :02:28. | :02:32. | |
protesters will be building public pressure for increased protection | :02:32. | :02:40. | |
for whales. They are the most amazing, intelligent, graceful, | :02:40. | :02:48. | |
peaceful, beautiful beings. You just have to look at a video. They | :02:48. | :02:54. | |
deserve protecting. There are talks here are expected to be peaceful. | :02:54. | :03:00. | |
The arguments are well rehearsed. This is the 63rd such conference. | :03:00. | :03:06. | |
What issues such as fitting -- fishing quotas on the table, Jersey | :03:06. | :03:15. | |
could witness some progress in this battle. Doubts are being raised | :03:15. | :03:19. | |
over Jersey's open-skies policy which means airlines flying between | :03:19. | :03:24. | |
Jersey and the UK no longer need permits. The managing director of | :03:24. | :03:31. | |
Aurigny says that is too ambitious. Malcolm Hart feels Jersey is better | :03:31. | :03:35. | |
at guarding vital routes between the island and the mainland. If you | :03:35. | :03:40. | |
look at what has happened in the Jersey market in recent years, many | :03:40. | :03:45. | |
carriers have come and gone. They Guernsey Market is a licence to | :03:45. | :03:52. | |
market. It is a good deal more stable. People can plan. Guernsey | :03:52. | :03:56. | |
police are reminding people to be vigilant over a telephone scam | :03:56. | :04:01. | |
involving a fraudulent computer company. There have been at least | :04:01. | :04:09. | |
five reports in recent days of people being asked to divulge | :04:09. | :04:16. | |
personal information. Hundreds of motorcyclists formed a procession | :04:16. | :04:20. | |
through Jersey earlier in honour of a Jersey biker who died in a crash | :04:20. | :04:26. | |
in the UK last month. His funeral took place today. Ian Kingham was | :04:26. | :04:30. | |
the head of Harley Owners Group. A spokesperson said he would have | :04:30. | :04:38. | |
been delighted with the tribute. More than �3 million is being spent | :04:38. | :04:43. | |

is not surprising the pound or -- the Palme d'Or Estate -- the Pomme | :05:03. | :05:09. | |
D'or Farm is looking tired. Not for much longer. The estate is being | :05:09. | :05:14. | |
refurbished on the outside. Things like improving doors, windows and | :05:14. | :05:23. | |
roofing. Residents have welcomed the news. It is an excellent idea. | :05:23. | :05:28. | |
I like to see the area smart. is more good news for a residents. | :05:28. | :05:33. | |
The incinerator next to the estate is to be pulled down next spring. | :05:33. | :05:39. | |
For these neighbours, no more views of the ageing Jimmy. The sewerage | :05:39. | :05:45. | |

actually. Transport and technical services is remodelling the | :05:55. | :06:00. | |

requires certain elements. You need water, plenty of sand and pockets | :07:34. | :07:39. | |
of imagination. And it does not get much better than this fabulous | :07:39. | :07:47. | |
sandcastle. The man who has built it is Simon. What had the key tips? | :07:47. | :07:52. | |
Plenty of water and lots of sand and physical hard work. I pile of | :07:52. | :07:59. | |
sand really hard using lots of water. It took me three days to put | :07:59. | :08:05. | |
the sand here. More than 100 buckets of water. I start at the | :08:05. | :08:12. | |
very top and have it down to the ground. You need a steady hand. It | :08:12. | :08:17. | |
is on the sand. You have sculpted this a Volkswagen. What can you | :08:17. | :08:25. | |
show me what to do today? A I got the inspiration from this one for - | :08:25. | :08:30. | |
- for this one from a friend who died in India. The church was | :08:30. | :08:36. | |
similar to this. What we're going to do today is create something | :08:36. | :08:42. | |
like the second Tower here. long will it take? A couple of | :08:43. | :08:52. | |

Good evening. A lot of fine weather to enjoy across the Channel Islands | :09:58. | :10:03. | |
over the weekend. There is some rain to get rid of first. That is | :10:03. | :10:11. | |
coming from the south. It will mainly affect Jersey. This area of | :10:11. | :10:14. | |
low pressure will move towards the Bay of Biscay into northern France | :10:14. | :10:20. | |
and into the Channel Islands this evening by tomorrow evening that | :10:20. | :10:26. | |
will be gone. A few showers to spoil the day. Many getting away | :10:26. | :10:31. | |
with that dry day. Not looking too bad this weekend. There is the band | :10:31. | :10:38. | |
of rain I mentioned. It will not quite get into Guernsey. A few | :10:38. | :10:44. | |
showers to end the night. Tomorrow could be rather cloudy with at the | :10:44. | :10:50. | |
risk of a few showers. Into the afternoon, a better chance for the | :10:50. | :10:56. | |
sunshine to come through. 19-20 is the highest temperature. Quite | :10:56. | :11:06. | |
