Welcome to BBC Channel Islands news. Unemployment crisis as those out of | :00:16. | :00:21. | |
work reaches record levels. We have got to expect that in the short | :00:21. | :00:29. | |
term, the numbers could worsen. I'll Guernsey and Jersey Police as | :00:29. | :00:37. | |
step closer to using these -- are? And a dry weekend across the | :00:37. | :00:42. | |
islands with little chance of rain. We will have a full forecast later | :00:42. | :00:52. | |
:00:52. | :00:57. | ||
Good evening. Jersey's new chief minister has made tackling | :00:57. | :01:02. | |
unemployment his new priority. Today he launched a back-to-work | :01:02. | :01:06. | |
programme on the same day Jersey's unemployment figure reached record | :01:06. | :01:12. | |
levels. There are 1500 people registered for work, the highest | :01:12. | :01:19. | |
ever recorded in the island. 130 more than last month. But a third | :01:19. | :01:24. | |
of those are under 25 and 100 of those haven't had a job in the last | :01:24. | :01:33. | |
year. The new programme includes works schemes are. | :01:33. | :01:38. | |
Learning the tours of the trade. These youngsters are gaining | :01:38. | :01:43. | |
practical skills in plumbing, carpentry and building. Skills they | :01:43. | :01:48. | |
hope will lead straight into a job. I think this is a good idea because | :01:48. | :01:53. | |
it is something that will help people when they are all before | :01:53. | :01:58. | |
getting a job. It will give you good skills. I found an | :01:58. | :02:02. | |
apprenticeship waiting for me after my work experience. There is | :02:02. | :02:07. | |
nothing like having a trade or vocation, child care, plumber, | :02:07. | :02:13. | |
hairdressing, electrician, to give you a start and a future. Despite | :02:13. | :02:18. | |
the unemployment figures, there are shortages in those airy years. | :02:18. | :02:21. | |
government wants to invest in more courses like this to give | :02:21. | :02:26. | |
youngsters a better chance of finding work. Providing more | :02:26. | :02:29. | |
vocational training is just one of a raft of measures by the | :02:29. | :02:33. | |
Government to tackle record levels of unemployment in Jersey, | :02:33. | :02:40. | |
particularly in young people. It will cost �4 million. The message: | :02:40. | :02:44. | |
Local jobs for local people off. know that we have an ebb and flow | :02:44. | :02:50. | |
of people coming into our community. We need to try to prioritise the | :02:50. | :02:55. | |
jobs in our community to those individuals who are already here | :02:55. | :03:03. | |
and to do that, we have to work carefully with employees, helping | :03:03. | :03:07. | |
them with barriers they may have forced job unemployment is the | :03:07. | :03:13. | |
biggest issue facing Jersey. Getting more people into work will | :03:13. | :03:18. | |
be the new Chief Minister's first and biggest test, but with the | :03:18. | :03:22. | |
economy struggling to grow, it won't be easy. | :03:22. | :03:25. | |
The convicted drug dealer Curtis Warren has vowed to fight a court | :03:25. | :03:28. | |
order aimed at stopping him running his criminal empire on release from | :03:28. | :03:33. | |
prison. Warren and five co- defendants were jailed in 2009 for | :03:33. | :03:43. | |
:03:43. | :03:43. | ||
attempting to flood Jersey with a million pounds worth of cannabis. | :03:43. | :03:46. | |
The Serious Organised Crime Agency want to limit him to one bank | :03:46. | :03:50. | |
account and one mobile phone. He would not be allowed to carry more | :03:50. | :03:53. | |
than �1,000 in cash and would be banned from travelling out of the | :03:53. | :03:57. | |
Senator Ian Le Marquand has been appointed Jersey's deputy chief | :03:57. | :04:00. | |
minister. He'll stand in for the chief minster, Ian Gorst. 14 | :04:00. | :04:03. | |
assistant ministers have also been appointed to support the council of | :04:03. | :04:07. | |
ministers. Deputy Carolyn Labey and Constable John Refault both take on | :04:07. | :04:10. | |
two assistant minister posts. If you receive an email from | :04:10. | :04:12. | |
Guernsey's former Lieutenant Governor asking for money, you're | :04:12. | :04:17. | |
being told to ignore it. Sir Fabion Malbon, who left the island earlier | :04:17. | :04:20. | |
this year, has had his account hacked into and emails sent out to | :04:20. | :04:25. | |
people in his address book. The email claims Sir Fabion is in | :04:25. | :04:29. | |
Barcelona, has been mugged and is in need of help. The police say | :04:29. | :04:38. | |
it's a scam. It is an absolute con and my concern is that other people | :04:38. | :04:42. | |
will be targeted and may well fall for this type of scam, so the | :04:42. | :04:47. | |
answer has got to be, be very careful, and look to increase the | :04:47. | :04:50. | |
security on your e-mail account, and that can easily be done by | :04:50. | :04:55. | |
changing passwords. A ban on tasered guns being | :04:55. | :04:59. | |
imported into the Channel Islands could soon be lifted -- tasered | :04:59. | :05:03. | |
guns. It means for the first time, both Guernsey and Jersey Police | :05:03. | :05:07. | |
would be able to use them. It's a non lethal weapon, used by | :05:07. | :05:15. | |
officers across the UK. But since Guernsey got Taser guns back in | :05:15. | :05:19. | |
2006, the island hasn't been able to import any more, or any ammo. | :05:19. | :05:22. | |
And supplies are running low. It is down to a ban on importing them | :05:22. | :05:25. | |
into non-EU countries but authorities here hope that could | :05:25. | :05:31. | |
soon change. We have been putting pressure on the very use bodies in | :05:31. | :05:36. | |
England, which is the Ministry of Justice and the Foreign and | :05:36. | :05:40. | |
Commonwealth Office -- the various bodies in England. The Ministry of | :05:40. | :05:42. | |
Justice have given us tremendous support and we believe that within | :05:42. | :05:48. | |
the next few weeks, there is a possibility that we could hear | :05:48. | :05:52. | |
something regarding the issue. now, Guernsey Police are able to | :05:52. | :05:56. | |
use them and firearms officers say there are many benefits of having | :05:56. | :06:01. | |
them. The only time they have had to fire one was to disarm someone | :06:01. | :06:06. | |
with a machete. And it's a tool the force doesn't want to loose. | :06:06. | :06:10. | |
they haven't got it with them, they may be forced to resort to a | :06:10. | :06:14. | |
conventional firearm to protect the public and themselves, whereas with | :06:14. | :06:18. | |
the tasered device, there is a less lethal option available to them | :06:18. | :06:23. | |
which they could try for first. Taser guns may be something that | :06:23. | :06:27. | |
Guernsey Police currently have to use but Jersey Police don't even | :06:27. | :06:30. | |
have the easier it, but that is something the force there is keen | :06:30. | :06:37. | |
to change. There is a huge gap between a baton, 8 cs spray, and | :06:37. | :06:42. | |
incapacity and, under police firearms. And a Taser actually fit | :06:42. | :06:48. | |
so that gap neatly, a for dealing with people armed with knives for | :06:48. | :06:54. | |
example. There maybe examples where Tasers could be beneficial but are | :06:54. | :06:57. | |
there enough to convince the authorities to allow the islands to | :06:57. | :07:07. | |
:07:07. | :07:08. | ||
have them. Flybe has secured $500 million of | :07:08. | :07:13. | |
funding to buy new aircraft. Regional jets like this one are | :07:13. | :07:18. | |
scheduled to join the existing fleet between now and 2014. Flybe | :07:18. | :07:25. | |
say these aircraft would be ideal to serve their Guernsey roots. | :07:25. | :07:28. | |
You're watching the BBC in the Channel Islands. Later in Spotlight | :07:28. | :07:31. | |
with Justin and Victoria: Following in the steps of Captain Scott, the | :07:31. | :07:41. | |
:07:41. | :07:43. | ||
student who's off on an Antarctic David is here with the forecast in | :07:43. | :07:47. | |
a few moments. A precious collection of hundreds | :07:47. | :07:51. | |
of thousands of historical artefacts. Now you can view those | :07:51. | :07:58. | |
collections on the internet. We have some beautiful examples of | :07:58. | :08:02. | |
textiles that we look of dot on behalf of the island. We have | :08:02. | :08:06. | |
beautiful wedding dresses from the 18 hundreds. Children's christening | :08:06. | :08:14. | |
robes... The Jersey Archives Collection has entered a new age. | :08:14. | :08:18. | |
Our purpose is to look after these wonderful assets and to pass them | :08:18. | :08:22. | |
on to the next generation so it was really important to show people | :08:22. | :08:26. | |
that you can come to our museums and see some of the objects on | :08:26. | :08:33. | |
display but there is a lot more on store. The website horse more than | :08:33. | :08:36. | |
3,000 historical objects and artifacts and now you can see them | :08:36. | :08:44. | |
on the website. There are 7500 paintings in total in our art | :08:44. | :08:47. | |
collection and looking on the Web site gives people the opportunity | :08:47. | :08:52. | |
to see some of the paintings in storage. The website also gives you | :08:52. | :08:57. | |
a sneaky peek of the storage room, preserved under lock and key, but I | :08:58. | :09:07. | |
was shown inside. This document is one of the most significant we have | :09:07. | :09:13. | |
at Jersey archive. This is the oldest document in Jersey. It is | :09:13. | :09:19. | |
from a 1378, so it is over 600 years old. It is a Royal Charter. | :09:19. | :09:23. | |
The archive also restores fragile pieces and paintings in the | :09:23. | :09:27. | |
conversation room. It hopes that tips on the website will encourage | :09:27. | :09:34. | |
more people to get crafty. Absolutely fascinating. What is the | :09:34. | :09:43. | |
I think we have got a lot of fine weather to endure across the | :09:43. | :09:49. | |
islands this weekend. If there is any rain, it will be Saturday night | :09:49. | :09:53. | |
into Sunday morning. Showers early on Sunday morning. Either side of | :09:53. | :10:00. | |
that, a lot of dry weather and some sunshine. Enough dry weather at | :10:00. | :10:05. | |
tonight to let the temperature a get well into single figures. This | :10:05. | :10:10. | |
is the weather front and that will cost us overnight Saturday into | :10:10. | :10:14. | |
Sunday. It made well first thing Sunday-morning bringing light | :10:14. | :10:19. | |
showers before quickly moving out of the way. Sunday will also be a | :10:19. | :10:23. | |
largely dry and bright day with a fresh feel. This evening and | :10:23. | :10:29. | |
overnight, not much changes. Any patchy cloud will break up to allow | :10:29. | :10:37. | |
clear skies to happen. Winds from the south-west. Tomorrow, a fine | :10:37. | :10:41. | |
start with little changed during the day. Perhaps increasing cloud | :10:41. | :10:51. | |
:10:51. | :11:07. | ||
later in the afternoon. Moderate, There are some quite big waves | :11:07. | :11:17. | |
:11:17. | :11:22. | ||
around generated by low-pressure Perhaps a more definite change to | :11:22. | :11:26. |
