Good evening. Tonight on BBC Channel Islands, a victory for | :00:05. | :00:09. | |
teachers but a headache for schools - an urgent appeal for public help | :00:09. | :00:15. | |
to supervise children. Plus, we'll see our young sports | :00:15. | :00:20. | |
stars on medal-winning form watched by an Olympic legend. | :00:20. | :00:24. | |
My name is Keith Pike. If you want to find out why I'm dressed like | :00:24. | :00:34. | |
:00:34. | :00:40. | ||
this, you'll find out later in the From the New Year, teachers in | :00:40. | :00:42. | |
Jersey won't have to supervise lunch breaks in primary and | :00:42. | :00:46. | |
secondary schools. The agreement was reached after a teachers' | :00:46. | :00:50. | |
strike last year, but it does leave schools with a problem. Who will | :00:50. | :00:53. | |
look after children during the school lunch hour? The Education | :00:53. | :00:56. | |
Department is hoping members of the public will step in, as Anisha Shah | :00:56. | :01:04. | |
reports. The lunch call, a sound of joy for | :01:04. | :01:07. | |
children, but for many teachers it means more work and certainly no | :01:07. | :01:17. | |
:01:17. | :01:20. | ||
time to take a break. You must have a break. Unless it is only -- the | :01:20. | :01:25. | |
only part of the school live you were doing. But if you are working | :01:25. | :01:28. | |
in school as well, yes, you should have half an hour at least and | :01:28. | :01:36. | |
chill out. To make that possible, from January every school in Jersey | :01:36. | :01:46. | |
:01:46. | :01:46. | ||
will have a dedicated team of lost and supervisors. -- lunchtime. | :01:46. | :01:53. | |
hope some of the staff will opt in to doing lunchtime duties. I will | :01:53. | :01:59. | |
invite them, those who wish to do some cover at lunchtime, to do so, | :01:59. | :02:05. | |
which the agreement allows for. that's an option unions are | :02:06. | :02:12. | |
advising against. I know some teachers are being offered extra | :02:12. | :02:18. | |
payment to do these duties. The union feels they are welcome to do | :02:18. | :02:23. | |
that if they want to do it. By the New Year, around 40 new lunchtime | :02:23. | :02:26. | |
staff need to be recruited to give teachers the chance to take their | :02:26. | :02:36. | |
:02:36. | :02:40. | ||
break. We are expecting internal staff to come forward. We're | :02:40. | :02:45. | |
changing the terms and conditions of teachers to currently trap -- | :02:45. | :02:49. | |
career at lunchtime supervision. This brings them in line with UK | :02:49. | :02:55. | |
terms and conditions for teachers. Being given the choice looks set to | :02:55. | :03:04. | |
be given top marks with teachers. A man who received head injuries in | :03:04. | :03:07. | |
an alleged assault in Jersey at the weekend, is unconscious but stable | :03:07. | :03:09. | |
in Southampton Hospital. He and another man were trying to flag | :03:09. | :03:13. | |
down a taxi at the junction of Plat Douet Road and St Clements Inner | :03:13. | :03:16. | |
Road early on Sunday morning, when the police say they were assaulted | :03:16. | :03:20. | |
by three other young men. They want to speak to anyone who was in the | :03:20. | :03:22. | |
area at the time. Guernsey's telephone museum closed | :03:22. | :03:26. | |
its doors for the final time yesterday. This was the scene as | :03:26. | :03:29. | |
islanders and holidaymakers called in for the last time. The facility | :03:29. | :03:31. | |
had suffered from low visitor numbers, and saw taxpayers | :03:31. | :03:35. | |
subsidising the museum at a cost of around �10 per visitor. The States | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
of Guernsey will be keeping hold of the collection from Hermes House, a | :03:38. | :03:42. | |
former telephone exchange in the Castel. | :03:42. | :03:45. | |
Guernsey may be used to cruise ships, but this is the scene many | :03:45. | :03:48. | |
woke up to yesterday morning. The Queen Elizabeth cruise liner was in | :03:48. | :03:52. | |
the island. The vessel is one of the largest to visit this season, | :03:52. | :03:56. | |
and can hold more than 2,000 passengers. | :03:56. | :03:58. | |
Athletes from Jersey and Guernsey have been competing in the | :03:58. | :04:03. | |
Commonwealth Youth Games in the Isle of Man this weekend. They were | :04:03. | :04:06. | |
among competitors from over 60 nations on the island to compete in | :04:06. | :04:11. | |
seven different sports. And while Jersey managed to bag a place on | :04:11. | :04:14. | |
the medals board, Guernsey was just pleased with a number of personal | :04:14. | :04:18. | |
bests and finalists. Amy Harris reports. | :04:18. | :04:21. | |
It's the smallest nation ever to host the Commonwealth Youth Games, | :04:21. | :04:28. | |
but the Isle of Man pulled out all the stops. Athletes from Guernsey | :04:28. | :04:38. | |
:04:38. | :04:41. | ||
and Jersey were among teams from 60 countries. From Jersey, we have a | :04:41. | :04:49. | |
team from a country whose athletic prowess is legendary. On hand for | :04:49. | :04:56. | |
inspiration was Dame Kelly Holmes. When I was 16 years old, I went to | :04:56. | :05:00. | |
a games called the Mini Youth Olympics. I remember marching | :05:00. | :05:06. | |
around in the opening ceremony. I have one of the 800 metres gold. I | :05:06. | :05:10. | |
remember standing on the rostrum thinking, one day this will be real | :05:10. | :05:20. | |
:05:20. | :05:23. | ||
when I am Olga. -- older. Jersey athletes got personal bests, one in | :05:23. | :05:30. | |
the shot putt. There have been a lot of good throwers coming out of | :05:30. | :05:35. | |
Jersey in recent years. And on Team Guernsey, while there were no | :05:35. | :05:38. | |
medals won, the athletes shone against some of the world's rising | :05:38. | :05:41. | |
stars in swimming, cycling, athletics and badminton. Island | :05:41. | :05:44. | |
records were broken, and many finished in the top 10 in their | :05:44. | :05:47. | |
events - like 18-year-old Josh Lewis here in the 200 metre | :05:47. | :05:57. | |
:05:57. | :05:59. | ||
breaststroke final. Overall, if not all of our team, has managed to | :05:59. | :06:06. | |
gain a top 20 place. More than half managed top 10. That is an amazing | :06:06. | :06:10. | |
achievement for such a small island. Tonight it's the closing ceremony, | :06:10. | :06:13. | |
a chance for all our athletes to celebrate what has been a very | :06:14. | :06:17. | |
successful commonwealth games. You're watching the BBC in the | :06:17. | :06:20. | |
Channel Islands. Later in Spotlight with Simon and Victoria, how a | :06:20. | :06:30. | |
:06:30. | :06:32. | ||
sinking ship could revive one Jersey's Multiple Sclerosis Therapy | :06:32. | :06:35. | |
Centre is getting a makeover as part of this year's Construction | :06:35. | :06:38. | |
Week. The Construction Council is helping refurbish the building in | :06:38. | :06:44. | |
just five days. New carpets, lights, kitchen and a fresh lick of paint | :06:44. | :06:52. | |
are all helping make the centre more welcoming. | :06:52. | :06:57. | |
It is a case of establishing who we are, putting ourselves back on the | :06:57. | :07:04. | |
map. We would like to see more people with multiple sclerosis | :07:04. | :07:08. | |
coming to visit us. Talk about things relating to multiple | :07:09. | :07:14. | |
sclerosis, and that includes family members as well. Next to a step | :07:14. | :07:18. | |
back in the time for the boys in blue. One history enthusiast in | :07:18. | :07:21. | |
Guernsey has been so taken up with the history of Guernsey police, | :07:21. | :07:24. | |
he's had a replica of the 19th Century uniform made for him. Keith | :07:24. | :07:27. | |
Pike has also spent five years transcribing word for word decades | :07:27. | :07:30. | |
of log books. Edward Sault went to meet him. | :07:30. | :07:33. | |
No, your eyes aren't deceiving you. This is a replica of a uniform that | :07:33. | :07:36. | |
would have been seen around St Peter Port - the uniform of an | :07:36. | :07:46. | |
:07:46. | :07:50. | ||
assistant constable from the late 1880s and early 1900s. Those are | :07:50. | :07:59. | |
original and cops. -- handcuffs. I think in material would have been | :08:00. | :08:07. | |
thicker. What we will get there in the end. Do you almost feel like a | :08:07. | :08:12. | |
different person when you put it on? Yes and No. I like to have a | :08:12. | :08:18. | |
joke with people. Keith has transcribed island's police | :08:18. | :08:27. | |
occurrence reports from 1850 to 1920. Has this shock you? He has in | :08:27. | :08:36. | |
some cases. I am seeing the island from a different angle. N this | :08:36. | :08:39. | |
picture, officers of the day. And here, a form of punishment for | :08:39. | :08:42. | |
those found guilty of some crimes. They were made to walk a treadmill, | :08:42. | :08:47. | |
and if one person stopped, everyone else would fall off. One woman | :08:47. | :08:52. | |
found out that her great grandfather received the perch. -- | :08:52. | :09:00. | |
Berdych. It was an absolute shock. There is no finish to this. It will | :09:00. | :09:05. | |
go on and on. Keith hopes to one day write a book with everything | :09:05. | :09:08. | |
he's found. His choice of costume has certainly caught the eye, but | :09:08. | :09:12. | |
he hopes that these memories will live on and not locked up. | :09:12. | :09:15. | |
And you can hear more from Keith on BBC Guernsey tomorrow morning. | :09:15. | :09:19. | |
He'll be telling Kevin Stewart about the horse and cart used as a | :09:19. | :09:22. | |
getaway car, and talking more about the books you saw in Edward's | :09:22. | :09:32. | |
:09:32. | :09:32. | ||
report. That's from 9.30. We have escaped the worst of the | :09:32. | :09:37. | |
We have escaped the worst of the winds today. What about tomorrow? | :09:37. | :09:41. | |
After a very blustery day today, the weather is coming down during | :09:41. | :09:49. | |
the week ahead. Still a little Rhys. Throughout the day tomorrow we will | :09:49. | :09:56. | |
see some showers. Some sunshine. On Wednesday we will see a bridge of | :09:57. | :10:02. | |
high pressure from the West. The weather does settle down. For | :10:02. | :10:10. | |
tonight, generally cloudy. Showers being blown in on a fairly brisk | :10:10. | :10:20. | |
:10:20. | :10:22. | ||
breeze. A mild night. Showers and from first thing tomorrow morning. | :10:22. | :10:28. | |
-- around. Bright and sunny throughout the day. Good amounts of | :10:28. | :10:38. | |
sunshine to be found later tomorrow. A moderate breeze. The coastal | :10:38. | :10:48. | |
:10:48. | :11:08. | ||
Still pretty choppy sir. -- surfing. For the rest of the week, after | :11:08. | :11:14. | |
tomorrow's showers, it is looking try on Wednesday and Thursday. -- | :11:14. | :11:23. |
