Good evening. Guernsey has moved a step closer to making its Hollywood | :00:53. | :00:57. | |
debut. The film adaptation of the novel "The Guernsey Literary and | :00:57. | :01:03. | |
Potato Peel Pie Society" has been planned by Fox Studios. Company | :01:03. | :01:06. | |
representatives will be on the island tomorrow, identifying | :01:06. | :01:16. | |
:01:16. | :01:20. | ||
potential locations. But there is The talk of tinsel Town could soon | :01:20. | :01:29. | |
be about a new kind of film. Guernsey, the movie. The island has | :01:29. | :01:34. | |
attracted a great deal of attention due to the bestselling book, "The | :01:34. | :01:37. | |
Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society". The tale of life | :01:37. | :01:43. | |
under German occupation. There have been rumours that Fox Studios will | :01:43. | :01:48. | |
turn it into a film, with some of the scenes filmed on the island. | :01:48. | :01:52. | |
Those rumours have become reality as negotiations have progressed | :01:52. | :01:57. | |
over the last year. Ken Brown will be the director, and it will be | :01:57. | :02:02. | |
called Guernsey, which I think is great news for the island. David | :02:02. | :02:08. | |
Barron will be the producer of the film. He has worked with Kenneth | :02:08. | :02:12. | |
Branagh and has produced five of the Harry Potter movies. It is | :02:12. | :02:19. | |
great news for the island. Funds are in place, and filming could | :02:19. | :02:25. | |
take place in April. There is still one obstacle. Whether the island | :02:25. | :02:32. | |
can offer any discounts to the film-maker. We have all BC said as | :02:32. | :02:36. | |
the government, there we are not able to contribute to tax police -- | :02:36. | :02:46. | |
:02:46. | :02:49. | ||
tax relief. It is difficult when It is estimated that 100 people | :02:49. | :02:56. | |
will need to stay on the island. There are hopes that many | :02:56. | :03:01. | |
businesses on the island will play their part in enticing the | :03:01. | :03:05. | |
producers. Fox Studios are sending scouts to the islands tomorrow. | :03:05. | :03:10. | |
They will be looking at potential locations. Then there will be a | :03:10. | :03:14. | |
decision about whether a Guernsey will deserve his place among | :03:14. | :03:18. | |
Hollywood's bright light. Next tonight, the Jersey Sports Council | :03:18. | :03:23. | |
has welcomed plans by a new charitable organisation to fund | :03:23. | :03:27. | |
stars of the future. The One Foundation has confirmed that there | :03:27. | :03:34. | |
will be money available to help the island's' sports and culture. | :03:34. | :03:39. | |
Council bosses say the new cash injection is not enough and they | :03:39. | :03:49. | |
:03:49. | :03:51. | ||
want the cover letter states to Home-grown talent hitting the big | :03:51. | :03:57. | |
time. There is cash available to turn aspiration into reality. It is | :03:57. | :04:01. | |

help the island in education, sport and culture. It also confirms | :04:07. | :04:11. | |
support for teams to play off the island. Welcome news for the sports | :04:11. | :04:16. | |
bosses. The One Foundation can see the development of children across | :04:16. | :04:20. | |
the island, and in all sports, helps the community. I know I keep | :04:20. | :04:24. | |
going on about the community, but we are a community. It is about | :04:24. | :04:28. | |
getting people off the island and competing with other people, and | :04:28. | :04:32. | |
enjoying the actual activity of sport. But, he says, it is not | :04:32. | :04:40. | |
enough. With sponsorship harder and maintain, he has a herd -- he has | :04:40. | :04:44. | |
those the Government not to make any more cuts. It is how important | :04:44. | :04:51. | |
sport is. It is competitive -- not just in competitive terms but in | :04:51. | :04:57. | |
community terms. We would keep our children occupied. The new | :04:57. | :05:00. | |
education minister, Patrick Ryan, was not available to talk on camera | :05:00. | :05:07. | |
today, but has issued a statement that he is mindful of the need for | :05:07. | :05:17. | |
:05:17. | :05:18. | ||
This is the panel that decides the money. Although cash will be split | :05:18. | :05:24. | |
failure -- fairly among sport, education and culture groups, it is | :05:24. | :05:31. | |
mainly sport based. But they want the government to do its bit too. A | :05:31. | :05:35. | |
man has appeared in Guernsey managed -- Guernsey magistrates | :05:35. | :05:44. | |
court charged with sexual abuse. The incidence date back several | :05:44. | :05:50. | |
years. Alasdair Robert Garven pleaded not guilty to the charges. | :05:50. | :05:56. | |
The media were banned from filming his first court appearance to allow | :05:56. | :06:03. | |
other witnesses to come forward. He has been remanded until 5th January. | :06:04. | :06:10. | |
It is claimed that Guernsey has made little or no progress in eight | :06:10. | :06:17. | |
years in sorting out the island's dairy industry. An independent | :06:17. | :06:27. | |

report suggests a number of measures. I do not think there... | :06:32. | :06:36. | |
Might amendment does not change that. What we lack is a | :06:36. | :06:41. | |
comprehensive vision, and we will forever be in a state of argument | :06:41. | :06:49. | |
if we do not get it. It is thought that the systemic -- discrimination | :06:49. | :06:56. | |
that people with HIV face on the island is bigger than dealing with | :06:57. | :07:02. | |
the disease itself. This man volunteers with an Aids charity in | :07:02. | :07:08. | |
Africa. It on a small island like this, where everyone seems to know | :07:08. | :07:14. | |
everyone, the idea of disclosing may be harder here. It is important | :07:14. | :07:19. | |
as a community that people are better educated about HIV and how | :07:19. | :07:26. | |
it affects people's lives. It might make it easier for people to talk | :07:26. | :07:32. | |
about their diagnosis. For the past six years, David Kirch has given | :07:32. | :07:36. | |
�100 to Ireland pensioners for Christmas. But this year, he has | :07:36. | :07:43. | |

some people cannot speak. By an breve -- proving that if you keep | :09:30. | :09:36. | |

more wet-weather as we go into the weekend. We have a frontal system | :10:20. | :10:25. | |
right over us, and that will move out the way. It is still going to | :10:25. | :10:32. | |
