But strikers in Guernsey go back to work but passengers have another day | :00:12. | :00:19. | |
of disruption. We are spending the week here without our cars, we are | :00:19. | :00:23. | |
relying on the public transport, and it has scuppered our holiday. | :00:23. | :00:28. | |
Getting closer to wildlife, holding work begins on Jersey's first | :00:28. | :00:33. | |
wetland Centre. And... Here he is in the cricket | :00:33. | :00:37. | |
team. We go back to the place where | :00:37. | :00:44. | |
Superman's acting dream took off. It is exciting to go to school with | :00:45. | :00:54. | |

Bus users in Guernsey have had another day of disruption. Drivers | :01:00. | :01:04. | |
who were on strike yesterday were back at work today but say they are | :01:04. | :01:08. | |
running a restricted service all week. Talks are underway between | :01:08. | :01:16. | |
Plus, the union and the government. Back on the roads, but not back to | :01:16. | :01:20. | |
normal, yesterday's strike may be over but there is still disruption | :01:20. | :01:24. | |
for many passengers as drivers are working to rule, which means a | :01:25. | :01:29. | |
restricted service. I have come from Australia with certain expectations, | :01:29. | :01:34. | |
like I could get around on the buses, and it is not happening. | :01:34. | :01:39. | |
have never seen such a model in terms of lack of information. We are | :01:39. | :01:43. | |
spending the week here without our cars. We are relying on the public | :01:43. | :01:48. | |
transport. It has scuppered our holiday. It is disappointing, it has | :01:48. | :01:54. | |
disrupted my holiday. I wanted to go around on the bus. The strike came | :01:55. | :02:00. | |
after months of unrest. Talks are underway between unions, the | :02:00. | :02:03. | |
commerce and employment Department and the bus company to thrash a | :02:03. | :02:07. | |
long-term solution. But opinions differ on how is accessible they | :02:07. | :02:13. | |
are. The company that runs the buses, CT Plus, are based behind me. | :02:13. | :02:18. | |
Nobody agreed to be interviewed on camera, but they sent me a statement | :02:18. | :02:22. | |
in which they said talks had been constructive and productive. But the | :02:22. | :02:26. | |
union says drivers are planning to meet again at the weekend to discuss | :02:26. | :02:31. | |
further industrial action. They are refusing to take on extra shifts. | :02:31. | :02:34. | |
There is still a shortage of staff, so the temporary timetable will | :02:34. | :02:43. | |
continue. The teacher is being investigated by | :02:43. | :02:47. | |
police after injuring a student at a jersey secondary school. Officers | :02:47. | :02:51. | |
are working with the alleged victim, his family and other students and | :02:51. | :02:55. | |
teachers to find out what happened. It has not been confirmed which | :02:55. | :02:58. | |
school it is. The number of unemployed people in Guernsey could | :02:58. | :03:00. | |
be reduced by a new scheme announced today. | :03:00. | :03:07. | |
The pilot project is called Stepping In. It will give local employers the | :03:07. | :03:09. | |
opportunity to train unemployed job-seekers so they can step into | :03:10. | :03:13. | |
the roles of islanders who are employed on a working permit when | :03:13. | :03:20. | |
they expire. The point of the scheme is that somebody will be paid by the | :03:20. | :03:23. | |
states sharing their training period. | :03:23. | :03:28. | |
It is the employer's decision as to whether to take them on. It is a | :03:28. | :03:31. | |
time honoured tradition and some say a necessity. | :03:32. | :03:35. | |
The law governing the trimming of hedges, trees and plants in jersey | :03:35. | :03:40. | |
could face big changes for the first time in more than a decade. But | :03:40. | :03:44. | |
there are worries that updating the rules could end up damaging the | :03:44. | :03:50. | |
island in the long run. Some of jersey's most breathtaking fruits, | :03:50. | :03:53. | |
but they can also be some of the most dangerous. | :03:54. | :03:57. | |
Hedges and plants are narrow lanes must be trimmed to a certain height | :03:57. | :04:01. | |
during the period to stop them blocking the road when they become | :04:01. | :04:08. | |
overgrown. Now, that timeframe could be extended bringing it by a week. | :04:08. | :04:13. | |
It is mostly farmers, and people with cars who live in country lanes, | :04:13. | :04:20. | |
they said, I cannot see, I am touching both sides. A lot of people | :04:20. | :04:24. | |
are nervous at the width of their car, in case there is something in | :04:24. | :04:28. | |
the hedge that would damage it. But there is concern if plans are cut | :04:29. | :04:33. | |
back before they have had chance to succeed, it could rummage the beauty | :04:33. | :04:38. | |
of the countryside in the long term. There are increasing numbers of | :04:39. | :04:42. | |
people on walking holidays and cycling holidays, they are looking | :04:42. | :04:48. | |
for the character of the island. is not the main roads, it is the | :04:48. | :04:55. | |
interior. If they are always being trimmed, year after year, at the | :04:55. | :05:02. | |
wrong period, you are going to lose the variety of flora and fauna. The | :05:02. | :05:06. | |
discussion will move indoors to be debated in the States Chamber in | :05:06. | :05:10. | |
July. While farmers and landowners may well come more flexibility, | :05:10. | :05:15. | |
others will argue flowers like these need to be given a fighting chance | :05:15. | :05:24. | |
if they are to flourish. A private aeroplane had to make an | :05:24. | :05:28. | |
emergency landing at Guernsey Airport today. The pilot reported | :05:28. | :05:30. | |
problems with the engine immediately after takeoff. The emergency | :05:31. | :05:35. | |
services were stuck down after the aeroplane landed safely just after | :05:35. | :05:41. | |
11 o'clock. It is relatively unusual, we probably have two or | :05:41. | :05:47. | |
three of these incidents per month. They tend to go in fits and starts, | :05:47. | :05:53. | |
sometimes you do not get any for a long time. We are well rehearsed, | :05:53. | :05:58. | |
our emergency procedures are automatically invoked. | :05:58. | :06:04. | |
Building work has begun on jersey's first wetland Centre. It is due to | :06:05. | :06:09. | |
open at St Ouen's Pond in October. It will give nature lovers | :06:09. | :06:13. | |
unrivalled views and help them get closer to wildlife. | :06:13. | :06:18. | |
It has taken years of planning, but work is underway on a new visitor | :06:18. | :06:24. | |
centre, here at St Ouen's Pond. It will be the first ever wetland | :06:24. | :06:28. | |
Centre on the island, designed to bring people and wildlife together. | :06:28. | :06:34. | |
We want to create a space where people can come and enjoy and take | :06:34. | :06:37. | |
in the atmosphere and see the wildlife, it is a wonderful place, | :06:37. | :06:41. | |
one of the best natural areas. want to show people that wetlands | :06:41. | :06:46. | |
are worth preserving. It will give people unrivalled views of rare | :06:46. | :06:50. | |
birds like this, the bittern and marsh harrier. New viewing domes | :06:51. | :06:56. | |
will give people a chance to get face-to-face with lizards and small | :06:56. | :07:01. | |
mammals. Inside, wildlife educational material. Outside, it | :07:02. | :07:05. | |
will be in keeping with the surroundings. It has been designed | :07:05. | :07:10. | |
to fit into the landscape. You will not be able to see much of it at | :07:11. | :07:16. | |
all. The roof will become a habitat for the wildlife. We will design it | :07:16. | :07:23. | |
so that reptiles can start living here. The centre replaces a small | :07:23. | :07:29. | |
bird hide at the pond and building it has not come cheap. It will cost | :07:29. | :07:35. | |
�130,000, paid for from grants from the tourism develop and fund and the | :07:35. | :07:37. | |
Blue Water Project, which is committed to helping the National | :07:37. | :07:44. | |
trust the jersey restore wetlands. We started three years ago. We got | :07:44. | :07:51. | |
to know it a bit, we got volunteer groups down here. When the idea came | :07:51. | :07:57. | |
up of turning the little bird hide into the wetland Centre, we were | :07:57. | :08:03. | |
fully behind it and keen to support it. While building work is underway, | :08:03. | :08:08. | |
reptiles and small mammals have been re-homed, so they do not come to any | :08:08. | :08:14. | |
harm. It is hoped it will be open in October. A free centre for locals | :08:14. | :08:23. | |
and tourists to enjoy and learn about the rich wildlife. | :08:23. | :08:29. | |
Jersey's Henry Cavill, playing Superman in Man of Steel, has a busy | :08:30. | :08:33. | |
week of red carpet appearances. Last night, he was in New York for the | :08:33. | :08:38. | |
world premiere of the film, and it is the UK and European premiere | :08:38. | :08:43. | |
tomorrow. On Friday, he will be at the premiere in jersey, the island | :08:43. | :08:47. | |
where he grew up and where his acting career began on the school | :08:47. | :08:55. | |
stage. There are flashing images in the report. | :08:55. | :08:58. | |
Representing Jersey on the red carpet, at last nights world | :08:59. | :09:04. | |
premiere of man of steel in New York, it was all about the island's | :09:04. | :09:14. | |
:09:14. | :09:23. | ||
Henry Cavill, the first non-American What do you think this might --? | :09:23. | :09:26. | |
was in Jersey that he first showed off his acting skills. This is him | :09:26. | :09:36. | |
aged seven. He is starring in a play at his first school, Saint Michaels. | :09:36. | :09:40. | |
Years later, in the same hall, we met the Next Generation of budding | :09:40. | :09:48. | |
stars. It is exciting because he used to come here at this school. It | :09:48. | :09:58. | |
:09:58. | :09:59. | ||
is amazing to hear that Superman, or Henry, does act out a Superman. | :09:59. | :10:05. | |
is exciting to go to school with Superman. They are a bit | :10:05. | :10:10. | |
flabbergasted, as we all are. see what happens. They do not have | :10:10. | :10:15. | |
any idea of what a Hollywood giant is all about, so they will see him | :10:15. | :10:20. | |
on the screen and think, that could be me. He reeled the all over the | :10:20. | :10:24. | |
world's media, with the UK premiere in Leicester Square tomorrow and the | :10:24. | :10:28. | |
first showing of the film in St Helier on Friday, which he will | :10:28. | :10:36. | |
attend with Russell Crowe and Amy Adams. But the road @ Michaels, he | :10:36. | :10:43. | |
will be celebrated not as Superman but as Henry Cavill. | :10:43. | :10:53. | |
:10:53. | :10:57. | ||
We will be on the red carpet on St We keep the unsettled weather | :10:57. | :11:00. | |
conditions for the rest of this week. For tomorrow, a windy day, | :11:00. | :11:10. | |
with rain. You can see the weather front that brought us some rain. We | :11:10. | :11:17. | |
have got weather fronts moving in. They will bring rain. For Thursday, | :11:17. | :11:21. | |
they have cleared through, though we still have tight isobars, so it will | :11:21. | :11:27. | |
be another windy day. Overnight, one or two showers, heavy rain at times | :11:27. | :11:33. | |
through the night, but it will be a fairly mild night. The cloud is | :11:33. | :11:41. | |
holding temperatures up. Tomorrow, further showers to come. The rain | :11:41. | :11:44. | |
could turn heavy at times as we go through the day. Maybe one or two | :11:44. | :11:49. | |
brighter moments, but grey and cloudy generally. Quite wet at | :11:49. | :11:57. | |
times, but fairly mild. If we take a look at the coastal waters forecast | :11:57. | :12:07. | |
:12:07. | :12:27. | ||
we could see three or four feet. But with that wind, it will be quite | :12:27. | :12:35. | |
choppy. For tomorrow, quite a wet and windy day. It is a bit dry and | :12:35. | :12:42. | |
brighter in situ state. As we go towards the weekend, for Friday and | :12:42. | :12:49. | |
into Saturday, more cloud again. If you showers are possible. The wind | :12:49. | :12:55. | |
is easing slightly as we go into the weekend. Have a good evening. | :12:55. | :12:58. | |
Hopefully the sun will shine for Superman. Heather Watson has won her | :12:58. | :13:02. | |
first round match at the iconic classic in Birmingham. | :13:02. | :13:10. |
