Good evening. This is your BBC in the Channel Islands and here are | :00:12. | :00:17. | |
our top stories. A man is seriously injured after an | :00:17. | :00:22. | |
assault in St Peter Port. Police make two a rest. The police are | :00:22. | :00:27. | |
devoting significant resources at an early stage in the inquiry. | :00:27. | :00:30. | |
Condor Ferries could return to Weymouth after the council agreed | :00:30. | :00:35. | |
to fix the harbour wall. And a hero returns home. The | :00:35. | :00:40. | |
painting of Major Pierson's death in the battle of Jersey arrives in | :00:40. | :00:50. | |
:00:50. | :00:54. | ||
the island for all to see. I man has been seriously injured | :00:54. | :00:57. | |
after being attacked by at bladed weapon in the housing Guernsey in | :00:57. | :01:02. | |
the early hours. Several roads were closed as police made several | :01:02. | :01:05. | |
arrests. A rumours have been flying around | :01:05. | :01:09. | |
Guernsey today about what exactly happened and Number Ten Mount | :01:09. | :01:13. | |
Durand this morning. At present, the facts are few and far between, | :01:13. | :01:19. | |
but surely after 5:00am, a 26-year- old man was rushed to hospital from | :01:19. | :01:23. | |
this road, suffering from what could have been a stabbing. What | :01:23. | :01:28. | |
nature are his injuries? A I cannot comment in detail, but he has | :01:28. | :01:33. | |
clearly been assaulted and a weapon has been used. Can you tell us what | :01:33. | :01:39. | |
weapon? It is some sort of bladed item because of the injuries he | :01:39. | :01:45. | |
sustained. It is not a gun. victim is in a serious but stable | :01:45. | :01:47. | |
condition in the Princess Elizabeth Hospital and Guernsey police would | :01:47. | :01:50. | |
like to hear from anyone who saw anything suspicious in the area | :01:50. | :01:55. | |
between 10pm last night and 5:00am this morning. I think an incident | :01:55. | :01:59. | |
like this does have a disproportionate effect in Guernsey | :01:59. | :02:03. | |
because we do not have much serious crime like this. Because of its | :02:03. | :02:08. | |
severity, the police are devoting significant resources at this stage | :02:08. | :02:13. | |
in the inquiry. Two people have been arrested and both remain in | :02:13. | :02:20. | |
custody. A coroner has recorded an hour to | :02:20. | :02:24. | |
verdict after the death of a man in a Jersey hospital. Joseph Vasse | :02:24. | :02:28. | |
went in for a hernia operation three years ago, but developed an | :02:28. | :02:35. | |
infection and died. What has happened in court? Joseph Vasse | :02:35. | :02:39. | |
went into Jersey General for a hernia operation in 2008. He was | :02:39. | :02:44. | |
operated on by his surgeon called Narinder Pal. He needed surgery for | :02:44. | :02:49. | |
cataracts on his eyes at the time. After the operation, Joseph Vasse | :02:49. | :02:54. | |
developed an infection and died. Joseph Vasse's family playing the | :02:54. | :02:58. | |
surgeon and the hospital for his death. What do the verdict reveal? | :02:58. | :03:02. | |
A coroner found that Joseph Vasse died from multiple organ failure | :03:02. | :03:05. | |
and that his existing heart problems were a contributory factor | :03:05. | :03:10. | |
in his death. The coroner said that after considering the evidence, he | :03:10. | :03:14. | |
had no recommendations to make to improve safety at Jersey General | :03:14. | :03:19. | |
Hospital in order to prevent similar things happening again. He | :03:19. | :03:23. | |
also did not attribute blame to any one in what is called an hour to | :03:23. | :03:28. | |
verdict. The hospital gave they are sincere condolences to the family | :03:28. | :03:32. | |
and they said they are committed to continually improving safety and | :03:32. | :03:37. | |
care and that many changes have been made over the last few years. | :03:37. | :03:40. | |
The widow says she does not want her husband's death to be in vain | :03:41. | :03:47. | |
and she is taking the case to court. Thank you. | :03:47. | :03:52. | |
With an appeal ruled out, how long will it be before more of our | :03:52. | :03:55. | |
Channel island mail order companies move elsewhere? Will any of them | :03:55. | :04:02. | |
stay put? With its roots in the island, the star company says after | :04:02. | :04:06. | |
decades have been in Guernsey, it is not going anywhere, despite the | :04:06. | :04:10. | |
loss of VAT tax relief. That is because mail order is not the only | :04:10. | :04:15. | |
side to the business. It is not so much a case of adapting, because | :04:15. | :04:21. | |
our business was built up after 25 years of wholesale distribution to | :04:21. | :04:25. | |
worldwide markets. We have only been in the market of mail order | :04:25. | :04:31. | |
for the last four to five years, so it is reverting slightly back to | :04:31. | :04:35. | |
what our strength was. It is because this business does not rely | :04:36. | :04:38. | |
solely on mail order that it is able to stay here. Unfortunately, | :04:38. | :04:43. | |
we know for others that is not the case. Key players like Healthspan | :04:43. | :04:47. | |
and HMV have announced they are moving the distribution side their | :04:47. | :04:52. | |
business elsewhere. Others are remaining tight-lipped. Like the | :04:52. | :04:55. | |
online greeting card company Moonpig, who today would not | :04:55. | :05:00. | |
confirm or deny why a -- whether they are moving. It does at | :05:00. | :05:05. | |
Guernsey's government expect many to still be here. A lot of | :05:05. | :05:11. | |
companies are at dealing with goods that are much higher in value than | :05:11. | :05:16. | |
the chicken Simon relief levels that were in existence. I would | :05:16. | :05:19. | |
hope that several of those companies would still be operating | :05:19. | :05:26. | |
here. Not everyone will move. It will be a few months it before we | :05:26. | :05:33. | |
know how many others feel bet is a future for them here. | :05:33. | :05:36. | |
The rise in unemployment is one of the reasons more and more people | :05:36. | :05:40. | |
are choosing to study. Jersey's Highlands College enrolled in extra | :05:40. | :05:47. | |
100 people last year and they are preparing for even more students. | :05:47. | :05:54. | |
Living the dream. At 19 years old, Glenn Noel is the younger chefs | :05:54. | :05:57. | |
working at the Atlantic Hotel. He put much of his success in the | :05:57. | :06:02. | |
kitchen down to his training. chose not to do A levels, because I | :06:02. | :06:07. | |
wanted to be a chef. At Highlands College, I study the basics and | :06:07. | :06:12. | |
fundamentals of cooking, along with the theory. I also learnt a lot of | :06:13. | :06:18. | |
the mathematical stuff. We are increasing competition for jobs, | :06:18. | :06:22. | |
there is a growing appetite for higher education in Jersey. By next | :06:22. | :06:27. | |
year, there will be more than 11 under Highlands College and it is | :06:27. | :06:32. | |
expected it will not stop there. With Moore Stephens, come what | :06:33. | :06:38. | |
challenges. In terms of classrooms, we are fine, in terms of our | :06:38. | :06:42. | |
library and other resources, we are stretched. Our workshops are | :06:42. | :06:47. | |
stretched. There will be the need to put investment in if the numbers | :06:47. | :06:51. | |
continue to grow as they are at the moment. It is a challenge, but we | :06:51. | :06:56. | |
will try our best not to turn people away. Whether it is the | :06:56. | :06:58. | |
first step on the path or retraining for changing career, | :06:58. | :07:02. | |
more people seem to be turning to higher education to follow their | :07:02. | :07:08. | |
ambitions. And for Glenn, who dreams of becoming the first Jersey | :07:08. | :07:16. | |
born in Michelin-star chef, it was an investment that paid off. | :07:16. | :07:21. | |
You are watching the BBC in the Channel Islands. Later in Spotlight, | :07:21. | :07:25. | |
good Condor Ferries return to Weymouth after the council there | :07:25. | :07:31. | |
agree at the expense to fix the harbour wall? | :07:31. | :07:36. | |
Now, the painting that depicts one of the most famous moments in | :07:36. | :07:40. | |
Jersey's history has arrived in the island for the first time. The | :07:40. | :07:45. | |
death of Major Pierson by American artist John Singleton Copley shows | :07:45. | :07:47. | |
him at leading the British against the invading French in the battle | :07:47. | :07:52. | |
of Jersey. It is been lent to the Jersey Museum from the Tate Gallery | :07:52. | :07:57. | |
in London, but getting it here was quite a battle in itself. It is a | :07:57. | :08:02. | |
precious cargo, measuring three metres by four macro they always | :08:02. | :08:05. | |
have a ton. John Singleton Copley for's famous painting is usually in | :08:06. | :08:09. | |
the Tate Gallery, but for a few moments it was hanging over the | :08:09. | :08:12. | |
Jersey Museum, having been brought over for an exhibition that has | :08:12. | :08:16. | |
been four years in the planning. The logistics of getting this | :08:16. | :08:20. | |
picture into a modern museum and were never. Be easy and involved a | :08:20. | :08:24. | |
bit of demolition. From the beginning, from the size of the | :08:24. | :08:28. | |
painting, we had to estimate the size of the crater to protect it | :08:28. | :08:33. | |
while it was being transported. From that, we had to give it Jersey | :08:33. | :08:39. | |
the opening it would need from the balcony. It meant they had to | :08:39. | :08:43. | |
remove a wall. The heroic death of Major Pierson who rallied the | :08:43. | :08:46. | |
troops against a French invasion, is considered to be a pivotal | :08:46. | :08:50. | |
moment, not only in Jersey's history, but also in Britain and | :08:50. | :08:57. | |
America. Major Pierson was the leading military person at that | :08:57. | :09:07. | |
:09:07. | :09:09. | ||
time. His. Had gone back to London. He had left 10 in charge. He very | :09:09. | :09:15. | |
much gathered the forces, collected them together and directed the | :09:15. | :09:21. | |
forces and sent some regiments up and gathered everyone together in | :09:21. | :09:27. | |
order to take them into the Royal Square. Here it is. The first time | :09:27. | :09:35. | |
this painting, the death of Major Pierson has been seen in Jersey. | :09:35. | :09:45. | |
:09:45. | :09:48. | ||
Good to have it back. Let us take a The cold air is eventually going to | :09:48. | :09:52. | |

front bringing that change will come in later tonight. It will | :10:03. | :10:08. | |
bring some showers by the morning and then move away into the | :10:08. | :10:11. | |
afternoon it to give us some quieter weather for a shorter | :10:11. | :10:18. | |
period of time, before the breeze picks up. Into Thursday, we had | :10:18. | :10:22. | |
easterly winds, which will become strong and there is the risk of | :10:22. | :10:27. | |
patchy rain. Rainfall amounts are likely to be small. We will notice | :10:27. | :10:31. | |

possible tonight, wind will become north-westerly and temperatures | :10:35. | :10:39. | |
will drop down to four five degrees. Tomorrow, we have a lot of cloud in | :10:39. | :10:43. | |
the morning with some showers. A little bit brighter towards the end | :10:43. | :10:47. | |
