Good evening. The Channel Islands headlines this Monday evening... | :00:14. | :00:20. | |
Discipline...or violence? Should smacking children be banned? | :00:21. | :00:23. | |
"Learn from my mistakes" - the message from a reformed drink | :00:23. | :00:25. | |
driver this festive season. You cannot blame anyone but | :00:26. | :00:32. | |
yourself for drink-driving. I am a victim of my own idiocy. | :00:32. | :00:35. | |
And from these tanks to the truffles of the sea - efforts to | :00:35. | :00:45. | |
:00:45. | :01:01. | ||
boost the Channel Islands' iconic, native shellfish. | :01:01. | :01:04. | |
Should the States be able to ban parents from smacking their own | :01:04. | :01:06. | |
children? It is a question Guernsey's Director of Public | :01:06. | :01:09. | |
Health has raised in his annual health report, which this year | :01:09. | :01:12. | |
focuses on ways of preventing the mistreatment of the island's | :01:12. | :01:14. | |
children. They may be little angels most of | :01:14. | :01:17. | |
the time, but all parents know that is not always the case. | :01:17. | :01:20. | |
But if children do misbehave, is smacking an appropriate way to deal | :01:20. | :01:30. | |
:01:30. | :01:31. | ||
with it? I do not mean to be cruel, but sometimes they have to be | :01:31. | :01:38. | |
checked. I think he Tapper man and already tapped on the bottom is | :01:38. | :01:48. | |
more of a shop. -- Ashok. And people taking about smacking is | :01:48. | :01:50. | |
exactly what Guernsey's Director of Public Health wants. He has raised | :01:50. | :01:54. | |
the issue in his annual report, which this year focuses on the much | :01:54. | :02:02. | |
broader issue of preventing the mis-treatment of children. Although | :02:02. | :02:10. | |
we do have services for child protection on the island, it is | :02:10. | :02:14. | |
important that it is prevented any systematic way. | :02:14. | :02:16. | |
Various recommendations are made in the report, including better | :02:16. | :02:18. | |
monitoring of the problem and suggesting ways of improving | :02:18. | :02:20. | |
parenting. But Doctor Bridgman also feels now | :02:20. | :02:28. | |
is the right time to talk about whether smacking should be banned. | :02:28. | :02:33. | |
There are places like Sweden where it has been banned and it has led | :02:33. | :02:41. | |
to the direct reduction. I think it requires a debate. | :02:41. | :02:50. | |
At the moment, it is up to parents how they discipline their children. | :02:50. | :02:53. | |
But today's report will spark the debate on whether smacking should | :02:53. | :02:57. | |
be one of the ways of doing it. Jersey Telecom has been given �19 | :02:57. | :02:59. | |
million to upgrade the internet connection of every address in the | :02:59. | :03:01. | |
island. The fibre-optic network will allow | :03:01. | :03:04. | |
speeds of up to one gigabit and was given the go-ahead in a ministerial | :03:04. | :03:08. | |
decision by the Treasury Minister. The money will come from States | :03:08. | :03:12. | |
funds over the next three years and it is hoped it will help boost the | :03:12. | :03:14. | |
island's digital economy. �470,000 has been falsely claimed | :03:14. | :03:18. | |
by benefit cheats in Jersey. The Social Security department | :03:18. | :03:21. | |
confirmed tonight the money will be clawed back and necessary action | :03:21. | :03:26. | |
taken. It follows a well publicised campaign, launched in March of this | :03:26. | :03:35. | |
year, to stop benefit fraud in the island. We are delighted, because | :03:35. | :03:41. | |
our target was �400,000 and we have exceeded that. I can assure the | :03:41. | :03:51. | |
:03:51. | :03:51. | ||
public that anyone who does get in touch, we do fall these claims up. | :03:51. | :03:59. | |
A is there a warning to anyone who is falsely claiming question mark | :03:59. | :04:04. | |
my think the message is that we take these matters very seriously | :04:04. | :04:06. | |
and they will follow up and take the necessary action against anyone | :04:06. | :04:10. | |
who is doing so. Guernsey Police says it is catching | :04:10. | :04:12. | |
more older people than younger people drink-driving this year. | :04:12. | :04:15. | |
Across the Channel Islands, anti drink-drive campaigns have been | :04:15. | :04:17. | |
stepped up for the Christmas party season, targeting those motorists | :04:17. | :04:21. | |
who think they can chance it. Mike Wilkins has been to meet one | :04:21. | :04:25. | |
islander who did chance it - and lived to regret it. | :04:25. | :04:29. | |
Giving his car the once over to make sure it is safe to be on the | :04:29. | :04:33. | |
roads. But years ago, Trevor Bazeley was not and was pulled over | :04:33. | :04:36. | |
by the police, convicted of drink driving, fined hundreds of pounds | :04:36. | :04:38. | |
and banned from driving for three years. | :04:38. | :04:41. | |
Trevor lost his job, his car insurance shot up and he had to | :04:41. | :04:51. | |
:04:51. | :04:52. | ||
retake his test years later. I just feel stupid. It was a silly thing | :04:52. | :04:59. | |
to do. It was my own fault. I was not the victim of anything, except | :04:59. | :05:02. | |
my own stupidity. The police have been randomly | :05:02. | :05:05. | |
stopping motorists to blow into one of these breathalysers. | :05:05. | :05:08. | |
There have been 128 people arrested in Alderney and Guernsey so far | :05:08. | :05:18. | |
:05:18. | :05:23. | ||
this year for drink driving. Malky, This compares to 149 for last year | :05:23. | :05:28. | |
and the same number for 2009. And in Guernsey, it seems it is | :05:28. | :05:36. | |
some of the older generations who are intent on breaking the law. | :05:36. | :05:40. | |
do not think we get many youngsters that drink and drive because we | :05:40. | :05:45. | |
have got the message across. It is usually middle-aged to older people | :05:45. | :05:54. | |
normally. I was actually very lucky to get caught. If I had not been, | :05:54. | :05:57. | |
the next thing they do that I might have caused an accident and | :05:58. | :06:03. | |
seriously injured or killed either myself or someone else. | :06:03. | :06:05. | |
Engineers say it will take two years to repair damage to | :06:05. | :06:09. | |
Alderney's breakwater. Last week's north-westerly gale tore off a 50- | :06:09. | :06:12. | |
metre stretch of facing, which was designed to protect the main | :06:12. | :06:16. | |
structure. The damage is in the same area as a major breach ten | :06:16. | :06:25. | |
years ago. We have inspected it over the weekend. Although the | :06:25. | :06:30. | |
damage looks quite bad, the actual structure of the break what it is | :06:30. | :06:35. | |
actually untouched. Unfortunately the weather is deteriorating, but | :06:35. | :06:43. | |
we have secured the main part of the damage and so we're just hoping | :06:43. | :06:48. | |
that the weather allows us to get their perhaps in the New Year to | :06:48. | :06:53. | |
carry out some further repairs. But I am afraid we are totally | :06:53. | :06:57. | |
dependent on the weather. And there is a weather warning in | :06:57. | :06:59. | |
place across the islands tonight and tomorrow morning. Severe gale | :06:59. | :07:02. | |
force winds and high tides could combine to cause some local coastal | :07:02. | :07:05. | |
flooding. David will be here with the details later in the programme. | :07:05. | :07:08. | |
Thousands of baby ormers are ready to be released into the seas around | :07:08. | :07:11. | |
Jersey. It is part of a new captive | :07:11. | :07:13. | |
breeding programme, which aims is to boost stocks of the shellfish, | :07:13. | :07:17. | |
after numbers were depleted by disease. | :07:17. | :07:19. | |
From these small beginnings, a Channel Islands traditional | :07:20. | :07:25. | |
delicacy will grow. These are baby ormers, bred from local stock here | :07:25. | :07:30. | |
at Marcus Taylor's farm. Soon, they will be released into | :07:31. | :07:40. | |
:07:41. | :07:42. | ||
the sea to grow to full size and boost stocks diminished by disease. | :07:42. | :07:48. | |
People here like going out and catching them. Now, they are very | :07:48. | :07:53. | |
restricted in what they can do. Hopefully, by releasing these into | :07:53. | :07:59. | |
the waters, the numbers will grow and that pursue it will become the | :07:59. | :08:03. | |
norm once again. This is what a fully-grown ormer | :08:03. | :08:06. | |
looks like. These are known as "truffles of the sea". In three | :08:06. | :08:08. | |
years, these will be harvested off the coast here. | :08:08. | :08:11. | |
But this is where the ormers start life. There are 250,000 of the tiny | :08:11. | :08:14. | |
creatures in these tanks. Starting in the next few weeks, when weather | :08:14. | :08:17. | |
conditions are right, thousands will be released into the sea | :08:17. | :08:20. | |
annually. It is a joint scheme between Marcus's company here and | :08:20. | :08:27. | |
Jersey Inshore Fishermens Association. Over a period of five | :08:27. | :08:34. | |
or six years, we will see the real benefit from this. I myself would | :08:34. | :08:41. | |
like to think I would be going to try and find a feed myself! | :08:41. | :08:45. | |
The project is not cheap. But those behind it say it is worth it to | :08:45. | :08:48. | |
ensure an increase in stocks of one of the Channel Islands iconic and | :08:48. | :08:51. | |
native shellfish. The Jersey Charity Auction raised a record | :08:51. | :09:01. | |
:09:01. | :09:02. | ||
�43,000 yesterday. This is celebrating the wedding of Kate | :09:02. | :09:07. | |
Middleton and Prince William. The biggest number of lots to date | :09:07. | :09:10. | |
were donated and auctioned on BBC Radio Jersey. The proceeds will to | :09:10. | :09:12. | |
help disadvantaged families and organisers say it was a bigger | :09:12. | :09:21. | |
success than they thought. There is issues need. This is going to | :09:21. | :09:27. | |
affect 15,000 people in Jersey. It may well short people that there | :09:27. | :09:31. | |
are people in that much needed in Jersey, but that does happen to be | :09:31. | :09:36. | |
the case, especially more in the last couple of years, with the | :09:36. | :09:39. | |
economic done town for still The first prize in the Channel | :09:39. | :09:42. | |
Islands Christmas Lottery reached the �750,000 mark on Sunday. That | :09:42. | :09:45. | |
equals last year's first prize, with a few days remaining until the | :09:45. | :09:52. | |
Just before we go to the weather, some of you may have spotted this | :09:52. | :09:55. | |
rainbow over Guernsey today. It looks like the pot of gold is at | :09:55. | :09:58. | |
Longue Hougue. Well, that is the pretty bit of the | :09:58. | :10:01. | |
weather! Now let us get the details of some extremely lively conditions | :10:01. | :10:11. | |
:10:11. | :10:13. | ||
