Welcome to the BBC in the Channel Islands. The headlines this Tuesday

:00:10.:00:16.

evening: Spen now to cut crime later. Why prisoners are in line

:00:16.:00:21.

for thousands of pounds of extra funding. The education helps you to

:00:21.:00:27.

look at life. As Guernsey and Jersey a host a major European

:00:27.:00:37.
:00:37.:00:43.

cricket competition, find out how the home team's got on. �400,000,

:00:43.:00:49.

that is what is being spent to help prisoners in Guernsey. A new

:00:49.:00:54.

education unit is being built at the island's jail. It will teach

:00:54.:00:57.

prisoners skills for life on the outside. It is aimed at reducing

:00:57.:01:03.

reoffending. Paul has nearly finished his

:01:03.:01:08.

sentence. Whilst he has been in prison, he spent time and education

:01:08.:01:12.

block learning Spanish and Russian. Learning has helped me reflect on

:01:12.:01:18.

what I did, I am in here for money laundering and fraud, and it is

:01:18.:01:22.

something I should never have contemplated doing. In here, you

:01:22.:01:27.

have time to reflect on that, education helps you concentrate on

:01:27.:01:34.

moving forward, the punishment is not having freedom. The education

:01:34.:01:39.

helps you to look at life once you get out of here. This is the room

:01:40.:01:46.

currently used for lessons. It will be turned into a job club. Another

:01:46.:01:50.

workshop and two classrooms are being built to teach prisoners jobs

:01:50.:01:56.

like painting and decorating. The new facility will cost �400,000 and

:01:56.:02:01.

can take 40 prisoners a day. It might sound like a lot of money but

:02:01.:02:07.

the Prison Service say they hope it will cut reoffending. We want our

:02:07.:02:10.

prisoners to go back into the community, be part of the society

:02:11.:02:14.

in the community where they can give something back. In order to do

:02:14.:02:21.

that, we must ensure that our prisoners have learning facilities

:02:21.:02:25.

that meat industry standards, that will enable them to gain the

:02:25.:02:32.

qualifications and provide them with work opportunities. -- that is

:02:32.:02:37.

by industry standards. Although the idea of spending taxpayers' money

:02:37.:02:42.

on it will not appeal to everybody, the staff insist this will benefit

:02:42.:02:48.

everybody in the community and lead to a brighter future. On the theme

:02:48.:02:51.

of education, the cost of going to university in Jersey will be

:02:51.:02:58.

cheaper this year. The states have negotiated a temporary reprieve.

:02:58.:03:03.

Fees will be more at the September, depending on the course and

:03:03.:03:09.

university chosen. However, a deal for SEP- 2012, when UK universities

:03:32.:03:39.

will be welcomed by the parents that are forking out the money.

:03:39.:03:45.

people have been sentenced in Guernsey's Royal Court of four

:03:45.:03:52.

smuggling methadone into the island. One man was given concurrent

:03:52.:04:00.

sentences or four and 21 months. The other was given community

:04:00.:04:05.

services. Some politicians are delaying plans for redeveloping

:04:05.:04:10.

Guernsey's airport. The �80 million project would bring the runway and

:04:10.:04:15.

surrounding area up to date with modern safety standards. But

:04:15.:04:19.

questions have been raised about value-for-money. The states will

:04:19.:04:23.

meet next week to discuss the issue. The problem with the runway issue

:04:23.:04:29.

is the cost of the project. The environmental impact, the exporting

:04:29.:04:37.

of jobs outside of Guernsey, we really do not need to create a

:04:38.:04:42.

model village. It would be better if the project could be scaled down

:04:42.:04:52.
:04:52.:04:55.

and resource locally. Later in Spotlight: eyes will be skywards as

:04:55.:05:02.

the aircraft on display. The sound of leather on willow has

:05:02.:05:09.

been bringing out around the Channel Islands. We are hosting the

:05:09.:05:11.

European Division One cricket tournaments. This morning, Jersey

:05:11.:05:21.
:05:21.:05:22.

took on Germany. Guernsey got on to a flying start against Norway.

:05:22.:05:27.

Preparing for the start of the Twenty20 tournament, Jersey's first

:05:27.:05:32.

competitors are the Germans. It is an anxious time for the youngest

:05:32.:05:42.

player. He is confident Jersey can get a victory. I think Twenty20 is

:05:42.:05:50.

action-packed and quick. Something will happen anytime in the game.

:05:50.:05:55.

Twenty20 shortens cricket matches with just 20 or birds each. It

:05:55.:06:05.
:06:05.:06:06.

keeps it exciting and easy to follow. -- 20 overs. If we can do

:06:06.:06:10.

well in this tournament we get to the next stage. We have to make

:06:10.:06:14.

sure we play well against Germany because we know they are already

:06:14.:06:24.
:06:24.:06:24.

some side. Jersey won the toss. A tense match followed, but Jersey

:06:24.:06:31.

won by six wickets. Are they now take on Israel. -- they will now

:06:31.:06:41.
:06:41.:06:43.

play Israel. Guernsey played against Norway, and won the game by

:06:43.:06:52.

10 wickets. It is not always great to win that easily. But it is great.

:06:52.:07:00.

Great start, and a hero's ending. The eyes of the world are upon us.

:07:00.:07:08.

The game ended in good spirits, and Guernsey will now play Croatia.

:07:08.:07:17.

Guernsey will now play Croatia. This afternoon's results: Guernsey

:07:17.:07:23.

took on Israel and beat them. Jersey are still playing Croatia.

:07:23.:07:33.
:07:33.:07:38.

Croatia are 9747. -- 97-7. Kurtis Guthrie has signed for the leak two

:07:38.:07:43.

club Accrington Stanley. -- the League Two club. He has impressed

:07:43.:07:53.
:07:53.:07:57.

after scoring twice in Friendly's. Accrington Stanley, who are they?

:07:57.:08:01.

If you do not know what I'm talking about look at it on the Internet.

:08:01.:08:09.

We will see more rain in the Channel Islands. There will be

:08:09.:08:12.

showers tomorrow midday. You can see the area of low pressure. It

:08:12.:08:17.

does not develop initially, but later on, it will move and by the

:08:17.:08:22.

time we wake up tomorrow morning the rain will come in through to

:08:22.:08:27.

the end of the day. This is lunchtime tomorrow, by lunchtime on

:08:27.:08:35.

Thursday it is still across the central part of France. There is a

:08:35.:08:39.

possibility that we will continue to see outbreaks of rain. There is

:08:39.:08:44.

a wet spell continuing to come. The most persistent rain will set in.

:08:44.:08:51.

Temperatures will be no lower than 12 degrees. Wind will swing around

:08:52.:08:55.

and become South easterly by the end of the day. I outbreaks of rain

:08:55.:09:01.

by the end of the day, perhaps less than in for a time. -- perhaps

:09:01.:09:07.

petering out for a time. The top figure will be 61 degrees

:09:07.:09:14.

Fahrenheit. The wind will be from the south-west. There will be rain

:09:14.:09:24.
:09:24.:09:27.

at times with poor visibility. The times of high water... 10:32am. For

:09:27.:09:37.
:09:37.:09:38.

the surface, the wind will be all over the place. The -- the surfers.

:09:38.:09:46.

The weather will get better towards the end of the week. For Friday and

:09:46.:09:56.
:09:56.:09:59.

Saturday, both days will feel Saturday, both days will feel

:09:59.:10:04.

warmer. Here is the summary. Finally, a very happy birthday to

:10:04.:10:12.

this woman, who is 100 today. This was the moment she was presented

:10:12.:10:17.

with her birthday card this afternoon. She got a birthday card

:10:17.:10:22.

from the Queen. A proud moment for the lady who has lived in the

:10:22.:10:27.

island all her life. What is the secret to living for a century? For

:10:27.:10:34.

our reporter asked her. I think you have to be jolly, you have to laugh,

:10:34.:10:41.

and you have to take things as they are. Lots of people in Jersey live

:10:41.:10:48.
