Good evening, welcome to the programme. Marketing Guernsey jobs | :00:06. | :00:08. | |
off-island - fears local construction workers will lose out | :00:08. | :00:17. | |
Also tonight, we examine the dangers of internet addiction among | :00:17. | :00:21. | |
Channel Island children. And meet the primate Prima Donna who's been | :00:21. | :00:31. | |

monkeying around with a video It's still unclear if the | :00:37. | :00:40. | |
redevelopment of Guernsey Airport will involve any of the local | :00:40. | :00:44. | |
workforce. The Public Services Department says the UK contractor | :00:44. | :00:49. | |
intends to recruit on-island staff once it's signed the contract. But | :00:49. | :00:53. | |
as Mike Wilkins reports, recruitment has already begun... In | :00:53. | :01:00. | |
the UK. Getting a slice of more than �80 million. That's how much | :01:00. | :01:02. | |
it's going to cost to redevelop Guernsey Airport's runway, aircraft | :01:02. | :01:10. | |
stands, taxiways, lighting and drainage. The redevelopment is one | :01:10. | :01:14. | |
of the biggest projects in the island for years. The UK based | :01:14. | :01:18. | |
company Lagan Construction has been named as the preferred bidder. But | :01:18. | :01:21. | |
some feel that while some skilled workers will need to come from the | :01:21. | :01:29. | |
mainland, there are local firms up to the job. We do have some very | :01:29. | :01:35. | |
good at small contractors on the island. It is hopeful that Lagan | :01:35. | :01:38. | |
Construction will engage with them. The level of engagement we'd like | :01:38. | :01:42. | |
to see is perhaps a little more than would normally done in the UK. | :01:42. | :01:48. | |
We'd like to encourage them to talk with these contractors. One of the | :01:48. | :01:51. | |
reasons why some of the building trade in Guernsey is getting a bit | :01:51. | :01:54. | |
jumpy is because of this. Adverts by British recruitment firms | :01:54. | :01:59. | |
looking for machine drivers, ground workers and concrete players to | :01:59. | :02:02. | |
work on a significant project in Guernsey. The problem is that Lagan | :02:02. | :02:05. | |
Construction hasn't yet signed a contract with the States. So | :02:06. | :02:11. | |
Guernsey's workforce is going to have to wait a while longer. It is | :02:11. | :02:15. | |
important there is some form of positive discrimination towards the | :02:15. | :02:21. | |
Guernsey economy. I think that's important. We feel as if we'd been | :02:21. | :02:24. | |
given a chance to take part in this. The States still needs to approve | :02:24. | :02:28. | |
the tender at the end of this month, then there's the wait for planning | :02:28. | :02:30. | |
permission. So it's looking like it'll be October before any | :02:30. | :02:33. | |
contract is signed and any sign is given that local companies can | :02:33. | :02:42. | |
Gay couples in Jersey have been given the right to form civil | :02:42. | :02:45. | |
partnerships. The new law gives same sex couples similar rights to | :02:45. | :02:49. | |
married couples. The States also decided that it would be up to | :02:49. | :02:52. | |
individual religious organisations whether to allow the ceremonies in | :02:52. | :02:58. | |
their churches or building. The airline Flybe has apologised to a | :02:58. | :03:01. | |
World War Two veteran after he was charged �60 to take a Military | :03:01. | :03:06. | |
Standard to the liberation ceremony in Jersey as hand luggage. Alec | :03:06. | :03:09. | |
Penstone complained saying some comrades could not afford the cost. | :03:09. | :03:15. | |
Flybe has now changed its baggage policy. Jersey has a new Planning | :03:15. | :03:18. | |
and Environment Minister. Deputy Rob Duhamel beat three other | :03:18. | :03:20. | |
candidates and will replace Senator Freddie Cohen, who stepped down | :03:21. | :03:26. | |
last week. Deputy Duhamel says he may only have a few months in the | :03:26. | :03:29. | |
role before the October elections, but he believes he can still make a | :03:29. | :03:36. | |
difference. Obviously there's a limited time but the thing is we | :03:36. | :03:41. | |
had a majority of states members, Bar one, who voted for the island | :03:41. | :03:46. | |
plan. What I want to use the period to do is to ensure that we are | :03:46. | :03:50. | |
going to deliver those policies and they are bedded in before the next | :03:50. | :03:54. | |
Minister is voted in the next elections. Are parents losing | :03:54. | :03:57. | |
control of their children when it comes to the internet and computer | :03:57. | :04:00. | |
games? An addictions expert is in the Channel Islands this week to | :04:00. | :04:03. | |
talk about the problem of excessive internet use. We'll hear from that | :04:03. | :04:07. | |
expert, Rick Dubras, in a moment about what parents can do. But | :04:07. | :04:10. | |
first, our reporter has the story of one young man in Jersey who | :04:10. | :04:15. | |
became addicted to gaming. Hayden and Conor have been friends since | :04:15. | :04:21. | |
childhood. And Hayden has needed his friends in recent years. During | :04:21. | :04:24. | |
a time when he faced problems in the real world, including bullying | :04:24. | :04:33. | |
at school, he found an escape in gaming. I could be who I wanted to | :04:33. | :04:37. | |
be, I could act how I wanted to act. If anyone I didn't like showed up, | :04:37. | :04:42. | |
I could just ignore them using different options. I used it to | :04:42. | :04:46. | |
escape my reality because reality was cruel to me. I hated the person | :04:46. | :04:50. | |
I was in real life. I just used this as a way to escape and be who | :04:50. | :04:54. | |
I wanted to be. Staying up late gaming and logging on straight | :04:54. | :04:56. | |
after breakfast, Hayden stopped seeing friends. Conor became | :04:56. | :05:04. | |
concerned and decided he needed to do something. We felt like he was | :05:04. | :05:07. | |
drifting away from us and we didn't want that to happen. We had to talk | :05:07. | :05:11. | |
some sense into him. More and more of us are using things like | :05:11. | :05:14. | |
Facebook and Twitter to stay in touch. It's easy to become | :05:14. | :05:17. | |
dependent. And that can lead to addiction. Experts say parents need | :05:17. | :05:24. | |
to be aware of the dangers. In the schools they are protected, there | :05:24. | :05:28. | |
are heavy filters in place to protect them. But when they leave | :05:28. | :05:33. | |
school they often go home and there is none, if little of filtering | :05:33. | :05:37. | |
going on. It's hard to see what they're doing. For Hayden though he | :05:37. | :05:40. | |
did get help from a counsellor and overcame his addiction. Both he and | :05:40. | :05:43. | |
Conor insist gaming can help build confidence and the internet is a | :05:43. | :05:47. | |
great place to make friends. Just, they warn, be careful not to let | :05:47. | :05:57. | |
:05:57. | :05:57. | ||
the virtual world get in the way of Rick Dubras is an expert in | :05:57. | :06:00. | |
managing addictions like Hayden's, and he's in Jersey to help parents | :06:00. | :06:07. | |
spot the signs. He joined me earlier in the studio. I started by | :06:07. | :06:10. | |
asking him if parents should just be adjusting security and access | :06:10. | :06:20. | |
:06:20. | :06:20. | ||
settings on the home computer. actually don't think that it is | :06:20. | :06:26. | |
about setting up programmes or security. Our children, like you've | :06:26. | :06:31. | |
said, they are very savvy. They know the system has more than we do, | :06:31. | :06:37. | |
generally speaking. I'm wanting to push the idea that we can have | :06:37. | :06:41. | |
influence and have relationships with our children that is what our | :06:41. | :06:46. | |
children follow, and that we learn how to trust them understand what's | :06:46. | :06:49. | |
too much and what's not enough. If we are talking about what is | :06:50. | :06:54. | |
negotiable on the internet and what's not, then we have to have | :06:54. | :06:58. | |
influence, we have to have relationships. I don't think it's | :06:58. | :07:02. | |
about setting up security software packages up on the computer to | :07:02. | :07:05. | |
limit their ability to access the internet. They can just go and | :07:06. | :07:11. | |
access it in a cafe. What about the gaming corporations, it's in their | :07:11. | :07:14. | |
interest to get kids hooked into playing it for hours a day, so how | :07:14. | :07:20. | |
can parents persuade their children to put the games console down? | :07:20. | :07:23. | |
use a great word - persuasion. We can only persuade and influence | :07:23. | :07:27. | |
when we have a relationship. In a relationship be then influence. We | :07:27. | :07:31. | |
can start then negotiating with our young people as to what is too much | :07:31. | :07:36. | |
and what is too little. But when we are spending up to five hours | :07:36. | :07:40. | |
connecting and not sitting at dinner with our family, when we are | :07:40. | :07:45. | |
not able to clean our room and do the chores and the family and being | :07:45. | :07:49. | |
relationships with each other, that's when I start to see the | :07:49. | :07:52. | |
disconnect and dislocation that happens in families. That is when | :07:52. | :07:56. | |
we start fighting, and that's when we start getting emotional. That's | :07:56. | :08:01. | |
when we are no longer being able to have emotionally mutual | :08:01. | :08:06. | |
conversations about our concerns. Lots of food for thought there. | :08:06. | :08:08. | |
That presentation from Rick is being held at Haute Vallee theatre | :08:08. | :08:15. | |
at 6.00pm tomorrow evening. You're watching the BBC in the Channel | :08:15. | :08:18. | |
Islands. Later in Spotlight with Justin and Victoria, we join Prince | :08:18. | :08:28. | |
:08:28. | :08:29. | ||
Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall Now, here at the BBC, we like to | :08:29. | :08:32. | |
think that making television is a highly skilled craft that needs to | :08:32. | :08:37. | |
be honed over many years. So imagine our surprise that a 27- | :08:37. | :08:40. | |
year-old silverback gorilla has had a go for the first time and is | :08:40. | :08:46. | |
already a hit! Ya Kwanza was given a video camera by his keepers at | :08:46. | :08:50. | |
Durrell. Amy Harris has been taking a look at his work. He's one of | :08:50. | :08:53. | |
Durrell's most photographed residents and it seems, despite his | :08:53. | :09:00. | |
glum face, Ya Kwanza enjoys working the lens. He's started filming | :09:00. | :09:05. | |
himself. The silverback gorilla got his paws on this yellow camera and | :09:05. | :09:15. | |
soon got up to some monkey business. Little did Ya Kwanza know - it was | :09:15. | :09:18. | |
all planned. His keepers covered the camera in his favourite treats, | :09:18. | :09:27. | |
hoping he'd pick it up so they could see his life through a lens. | :09:27. | :09:37. | |
:09:37. | :09:38. | ||
Let's see what happens. The result - these never seen before images. | :09:38. | :09:47. | |
And unlike some stars, he was happy to hand the pictures over! Pass the | :09:47. | :09:53. | |
box! Ya Kwanza's leaving Jersey soon after almost 20 years, so this | :09:53. | :09:55. | |
footage will provide a lasting memory of a very photo friendly | :09:55. | :10:05. | |
:10:05. | :10:10. | ||
He's not bad. I wonder what would happen if we attached food to the | :10:10. | :10:19. | |
BBC cameras? Maybe we you would get We've had wet weather today, but | :10:19. | :10:23. | |
thankfully that's moving out of the way. For the next few days, until | :10:23. | :10:27. | |
the weekend, there's a lot of dry weather and the sunshine will | :10:27. | :10:31. | |
return. The area of low pressure that generated the showers is | :10:31. | :10:35. | |
moving away this evening. Quite a lot of cloud for the first half of | :10:35. | :10:39. | |
the night and then it moves away. By lunchtime tomorrow, we have a | :10:39. | :10:42. | |
ridge of high pressure which will stick their for much of the day, | :10:42. | :10:46. | |
all day on Thursday before a weather front will trickle in from | :10:46. | :10:53. | |
the West. It will introduce a lot more cloud into Friday. That was | :10:53. | :10:57. | |
the picture from earlier today, you can see the blues and yellows - | :10:57. | :11:01. | |
that's where we've had some quite heavy rain in the last 12 hours or | :11:01. | :11:05. | |
so. That has now moved out of the way. It's initially cloudy | :11:05. | :11:11. | |
overnight but the skies begin to break towards dawn. The winds also | :11:11. | :11:15. | |
dropping. Tomorrow should be a decent day. Some sunny spells, | :11:15. | :11:19. | |
patchy cloud, winds from the north and temperatures getting up to 18 | :11:19. | :11:29. | |
:11:29. | :11:46. | ||
or 19 degrees. Quite a pleasant day The forecast for Thursday is bright, | :11:46. | :11:51. | |
dry with some sunshine. That weak weather front will come in on | :11:51. | :11:54. | |
Friday and make things rather cloudy but it should remain dry. | :11:54. | :11:58. | |
That is until Friday night and into Saturday when we see some more wet | :11:58. | :12:01. | |
weather turning up. Saturday looks like it could be rather cloudy, | :12:02. | :12:11. | |
:12:12. | :12:13. |
