Good evening. Welcome. A top stories tonight... -- our. A | :00:17. | :00:19. | |
prescription for better patient facilities as Jersey's Government | :00:19. | :00:21. | |
proposes an injection of cash for St Saviour's Hospital. Plus mystery | :00:22. | :00:25. | |
still surrounds the death of Liga Verse as friends and family join to | :00:25. | :00:28. | |
remember her life. And running for a reason - the charities and | :00:28. | :00:38. | |

A multi-million pound investment is planned for a Jersey care facility | :00:47. | :00:50. | |
for those with mental illness. Clinque Pinel, which is part of St | :00:50. | :00:52. | |
Saviour's Hospital, hasn't been updated in over 40 years. Although | :00:52. | :00:55. | |
over a million pounds has already been agreed for work there, the | :00:55. | :00:58. | |
Treasury Minister and Health Minister agree an extra �2 million | :00:58. | :01:01. | |
is needed to bring wards up to modern standards. Beckie Williams | :01:01. | :01:09. | |
It's a vital centre which treats patients with dementia and mental | :01:09. | :01:15. | |
illness locally. But Clinque Pinel was built in the 1970s and it needs | :01:15. | :01:23. | |
an upgrade. All the staff work in a difficult environment, as well as | :01:23. | :01:30. | |
the patients. These days be the one single rooms so it is easier to | :01:30. | :01:35. | |
assess patients. It is also more privacy. This is one of the rooms | :01:35. | :01:39. | |
used to treat patients here and as you can see it's seen better days. | :01:39. | :01:42. | |
There are holes in the walls and the wallpaper's peeling, which | :01:42. | :01:46. | |
nurses say could spread infection. And 17 patients have to share this | :01:46. | :01:49. | |
bathroom. It's the only wash facility available for men and | :01:49. | :01:53. | |
women. To bring these wards up to modern standards, �1 million has | :01:53. | :01:56. | |
already been agreed by the government but it says more is | :01:56. | :02:00. | |
needed. An extra two million is now being proposed to update facilities | :02:00. | :02:04. | |
- money which will be added to spending plans to be debated by the | :02:04. | :02:14. | |
States next month. I do nothing there are dangers but I think it is | :02:14. | :02:16. | |
not acceptable that Clinque Pinel has been allowed to deteriorate to | :02:17. | :02:22. | |
this level. We need to make changes to the facilities and upgrade them. | :02:22. | :02:26. | |
That is why I have made the decision of amending a business | :02:26. | :02:31. | |
plan which had been completed. has money not been put in before | :02:31. | :02:37. | |
now? Questions need to be asked of the previous ministers for health | :02:37. | :02:42. | |
and social services as to why many requests were not made. With longer | :02:43. | :02:45. | |
term plans to relocate this hospital, the proposed cash | :02:45. | :02:48. | |
injection is a short term cure, but it's a cure that will provide a | :02:48. | :02:58. | |
It's still unclear this evening how a young Latvian woman died in | :02:58. | :03:01. | |
Guernsey. It's been just over a week since 24-year-old Liga Verse's | :03:01. | :03:04. | |
body was found in a flat in St Peter Port in suspicious | :03:04. | :03:07. | |
circumstances. Her family have been to the island and a special service | :03:07. | :03:09. | |
was held over the weekend to remember her, as Mike Wilkins | :03:09. | :03:19. | |
:03:19. | :03:24. | ||
The sadness was felt by everyone as they came together to remember a | :03:24. | :03:29. | |
young woman's life. Liga's family just missed the service as they had | :03:29. | :03:32. | |
to fly back to Latvia but her father is still stunned by what's | :03:32. | :03:41. | |
happened. Very sad. They still did not understand what happened. But | :03:41. | :03:46. | |
the father said that when I will be at home I will cry my eyes and | :03:46. | :03:50. | |
heart out. The service was to remember Liga but was also to help | :03:50. | :03:54. | |
her family. More than �1000 was raised to help pay for a cremation | :03:54. | :03:57. | |
and the return of her ashes to Latvia. And for Guernsey's Latvian | :03:57. | :03:59. | |
community the service was an important part of coming to terms | :03:59. | :04:06. | |
with their loss. I think they did need it. There were many people | :04:06. | :04:12. | |
here tonight and many of them were visibly moved. I hope that will | :04:12. | :04:19. | |
give them something to hold on to, something to give them comfort and | :04:19. | :04:24. | |
hope for the future. During this uncertain time the people of | :04:24. | :04:28. | |
Guernsey were keen to show their support for the Latvian community. | :04:28. | :04:32. | |
I do not think this evening is about speculating on what may have | :04:32. | :04:37. | |
happened, I think it is about reassuring of the community. We | :04:37. | :04:42. | |
feel their pain, we understand what they are going through. The police | :04:42. | :04:45. | |
still can't say how Liga died as they're awaiting the results of a | :04:45. | :04:48. | |
second post mortem. But as the technical side of the investigation | :04:48. | :04:58. | |
:04:58. | :05:01. | ||
continues, the human impact is Police are investigating a theft | :05:01. | :05:06. | |
and attempted break-in in stark last week. Money was taken from the | :05:06. | :05:09. | |
information office last Friday and that the island all there was an | :05:10. | :05:13. | |
attempt to gain access. Guernsey police want to hear from anyone who | :05:13. | :05:17. | |
was in those areas on the Friday evening, or Saturday morning. The | :05:17. | :05:20. | |
Red Arrows will appear in Jersey and Guernsey next week during the | :05:20. | :05:23. | |
International Air Displays if their training sessions run smoothly in | :05:23. | :05:26. | |
the run up. Their appearance was in doubt after one of the pilots died | :05:26. | :05:29. | |
in a plane crash earlier this month. But organisers say the team will | :05:30. | :05:32. | |
fly here, encouraged by the widow of Flight Lieutenant Jon Egging who | :05:33. | :05:42. | |
wants them to continue their A fort in Alderney has been | :05:42. | :05:45. | |
described as one of the most important buildings of Roman | :05:45. | :05:48. | |
Britain. A four year archaeological dig at the Nunnery has revealed the | :05:48. | :05:51. | |
remains of a former Roman Sea Fort. The Director of Heritage Services | :05:51. | :05:57. | |
at Guernsey Museums Dr Jason Monaghan says it's significant. | :05:57. | :06:00. | |
is one of the most important Asian buildings in the Channel Islands | :06:00. | :06:06. | |
and in the hall of Roman Britain -- ancient buildings. We do not have a | :06:06. | :06:13. | |
fort of this type standing anywhere. This is an extremely important | :06:13. | :06:18. | |
building for Roman Britain and certainly for Alderney. The sport | :06:18. | :06:26. | |

star Heather Watson lost in three sets to the former champion Maria | :06:29. | :06:33. | |
Sharapova in the 1st round of the US Open in New York. After winning | :06:33. | :06:36. | |
the first set the Guernsey teenager fought hard but eventually went | :06:36. | :06:39. | |
down 3-6, 7-5, 6-3. Watson got a standing ovation from the crowd in | :06:39. | :06:43. | |
the Arthur Ashe stadium and said she loved the atmosphere. And in | :06:43. | :06:46. | |
rugby, Jersey lost 29-27 away at Fylde on the opening day of the | :06:46. | :06:49. | |
National League One season. The islanders were trailing 24-8 at the | :06:49. | :06:52. | |
interval but fought back in the second-half and could have won if a | :06:52. | :06:55. | |
penalty by Michael Le Bourgeois had been successful with three minutes | :06:55. | :07:05. | |

the Combined Counties League Division One after two away wins at | :07:10. | :07:13. | |
the weekend. They beat Frimley Green 5-0 on Saturday and followed | :07:13. | :07:16. | |
up that success with a 4-0 win over Cobham yesterday. It sees them | :07:16. | :07:19. | |
level with Bedfont Sports on 16 points but topping the table on | :07:19. | :07:27. | |
goal difference with 18 to Nearly 500 runners took part in | :07:27. | :07:30. | |
this year's Guernsey marathon at the weekend. The event was raising | :07:30. | :07:33. | |
money for a premature baby charity among others. Emma Thomas was | :07:33. | :07:43. | |
:07:43. | :07:54. | ||
This year the marathon got off to a flying start. I'm running for the | :07:54. | :07:58. | |
Alzheimers Society becuase it runs in my family. I'm running for | :07:58. | :08:00. | |
Canine Partners which is a fantastic charity which trains dogs | :08:00. | :08:04. | |
to help people. I'm running for a charity that does research on rare | :08:04. | :08:06. | |
ovarian cancer. This year's Guernsey marathon got off to a | :08:06. | :08:09. | |
flying start - runners jostling for position. �1,000 prize money up for | :08:09. | :08:12. | |
grabs plus the chance to support a favourite charity. Organisers told | :08:12. | :08:15. | |
me nearly 500 people took part in the event. This years' chosen | :08:15. | :08:18. | |
charity is the Priaulx Premature Baby Foundation. It's hoped some of | :08:18. | :08:23. | |
the money raised will pay for new neo-natal hospital equipment. | :08:23. | :08:26. | |
like to think round about seven to �8000 and it will go to the | :08:26. | :08:29. | |
premature baby foundation, having said that I know that there are | :08:29. | :08:31. | |
other runners out there who've raised hundreds, if not thousands | :08:31. | :08:34. | |
of pounds for other charities. So I anticipate all together for all | :08:34. | :08:37. | |
charities we'd probably raise about �40,000. At the halfway point the | :08:37. | :08:40. | |
strain was starting to show. Runners cheered on by crowds on the | :08:40. | :08:48. | |
Coast Road. First to the finish line in 2 hours 30 minutes and 47 | :08:48. | :08:52. | |
seconds was Neals Strik from the Netherlands. A seasoned runner - | :08:52. | :09:00. | |
this was a practice for his next marathon in Holland. It was nice, | :09:01. | :09:06. | |
my second amrathon win, so I did twelve marathons in total. It's | :09:06. | :09:11. | |
never easy to win a marathon, so nice! As the stands made some noise | :09:11. | :09:14. | |
the other runners came through - all glad to have made it the 26.2 | :09:14. | :09:19. | |
miles home. Good support. A good race. I am tired, just waiting for | :09:19. | :09:29. | |
:09:29. | :09:34. | ||
the others to come through. Pretty good, pretty knackered but proud. | :09:34. | :09:38. | |
At the end of the race there were some exhausted looking faces - in | :09:38. | :09:41. | |
unusual places as people couldn't wait to take their shoes off and | :09:41. | :09:46. | |
piut their feet up. Coldest August night on record apparently last | :09:46. | :09:56. | |
:09:56. | :09:56. | ||
Mainly a dry story but the possibility of a few showers coming | :09:56. | :10:00. | |
through the Bay of Biscay through Jersey towards the evening tomorrow. | :10:00. | :10:05. | |
That stays with us as we move into thirsted. Generally dry though, a | :10:05. | :10:09. | |
good reason for that, this area of high pressure weakens over the next | :10:09. | :10:14. | |
24 hours. It will move northwards, allowing this area of low pressure | :10:14. | :10:17. | |
to move gradually up towards us which will bring our small cloud | :10:17. | :10:27. | |
and the threat of showers towards the end of the day. This evening | :10:27. | :10:36. | |
and tonight a lot of fine weather. More cloud coming in overnight. | :10:36. | :10:39. | |
Easterly winds which will be like but freshen up through the day | :10:39. | :10:44. | |
tomorrow, when we will have a fine day mostly. A lot of cloud but by | :10:44. | :10:54. | |
:10:54. | :10:59. | ||
the end of the afternoon showers That is the coastal waters forecast. | :10:59. | :11:09. | |
