holiday-maker is named as the cyclist killed on Jersey's roads | :00:11. | :00:19. | |
yesterday. And why are some cancers more common in the Channel Islands | :00:19. | :00:29. | |
:00:29. | :00:32. | ||
than the UK. We haven't got a cancer rates for an unexplained reason. We | :00:32. | :00:35. | |
know exactly why we have got them and people can do something about | :00:35. | :00:43. | |
it. And find out why these grooves hold key to Jersey's Bronze age | :00:43. | :00:50. | |
farming history. They have turned up on one or two of the other Channel | :00:50. | :00:53. | |
Islands from the Bronze Age, but this is the first time they have | :00:53. | :00:59. | |
turned up in Jersey stop we are rather excited. A cyclist killed in | :00:59. | :01:08. | |
a crash in Jersey has been named. Neil Blood had been holidaying in | :01:08. | :01:11. | |
the island from Stoke-on-Trent. The 42-year-old died after his bike | :01:11. | :01:16. | |
collided with a van yesterday afternoon. This case and other | :01:16. | :01:20. | |
recent crashes have led to calls for more research into accidents on the | :01:20. | :01:24. | |
island. Pam Caulfield reports. Messages for a much loved father, | :01:24. | :01:28. | |
brother and husband. Neil Blood was from Stoke-on-Trent and had been | :01:28. | :01:31. | |
holidaying in the island. The 42-year-old had been cycling around | :01:31. | :01:34. | |
the harbour in St Helier at lunchtime yesterday when he collided | :01:34. | :01:44. | |
:01:44. | :01:45. | ||
with a van. He died at the scene. Officers from our investigation unit | :01:45. | :01:52. | |
and forensics officers, scenes of crime department attended with the | :01:52. | :01:56. | |
assistance of our colleagues from the honorary police. The road was | :01:56. | :02:01. | |
closed to allow a full, forensics investigation. They say the driver | :02:01. | :02:05. | |
of the van is being treated as a significant witness. And their | :02:05. | :02:07. | |
specially trained officers have been speaking to relatives who gathered | :02:07. | :02:14. | |
at the scene earlier today. Family and friends have travelled here to | :02:14. | :02:19. | |
leave flowers and cards for Neill at the place of this tragic accident, | :02:19. | :02:24. | |
the marks of which can still be seen. And with two fatal and one | :02:24. | :02:30. | |
serious accident involving cyclists in recent months, politicians are | :02:30. | :02:39. | |
calling for more action. Our cities go to the victim 's family. We want | :02:39. | :02:43. | |
understand more about the statistics about these two -- these sorts of | :02:43. | :02:49. | |
incidents rush-hour sympathies will stop there has been unacceptable | :02:49. | :02:58. | |
amount of accidents. Do something the police say they are taking | :02:58. | :03:01. | |
seriously. The force plans to identify the most dangerous places | :03:01. | :03:11. | |
:03:11. | :03:14. | ||
where accidents have taken place stop indeed ourselves. -- it is | :03:14. | :03:19. | |
evident, we need to do something quickly to try and reduce that | :03:19. | :03:24. | |
number. And while more research could save lives in the future, it | :03:24. | :03:29. | |
can't help this family trying to come to terms with the loss of a | :03:29. | :03:37. | |
loved one. Concerns over the spiralling costs | :03:37. | :03:41. | |
of Guernsey's finance industry regular to have prompted a full | :03:41. | :03:48. | |
review of how it is funded. The GFSC came under fire in the States today, | :03:48. | :03:51. | |
after news it spent around twenty percent more last year than 2011. | :03:51. | :03:54. | |
The cost of offices, and an �800,000 increase in salaries, were two areas | :03:54. | :03:58. | |
of concern. The industry is contracting but the GSE's cost are | :03:58. | :04:05. | |
growing. Every other industry is looking at it its budget and trying | :04:05. | :04:12. | |
to address the issues of much harder business environment. It doesn't | :04:12. | :04:18. | |
seem to apply to the GFS E. Cancer rates in Jersey are higher | :04:18. | :04:26. | |
than expected. A new report shows some forms of the disease are 6% | :04:26. | :04:30. | |
higher than the South West of England. It also reveals there are | :04:30. | :04:33. | |
28 more cases annually based on the size of the islands population. When | :04:33. | :04:36. | |
compared with south west rates, cases of head, neck, skin and lung | :04:37. | :04:40. | |
cancers are higher in Jersey. The figures are in a report commissioned | :04:40. | :04:42. | |
for the island's Chief Medical Officer, Dr Susan Turnbull. She | :04:42. | :04:51. | |
joined me earlier to explain what these figures can tell us. Tells us | :04:51. | :04:54. | |
more about why we have such high cancer rates. We have known for a | :04:54. | :04:58. | |
number of years that we have sudden -- significantly higher rates of | :04:58. | :05:05. | |
lung cancer, head and neck cancers, knitted to smokers. What we have | :05:05. | :05:08. | |
looked at is, are they reasonably explained by the risk factors we | :05:08. | :05:12. | |
know about or is there something else going on? The resounding | :05:12. | :05:16. | |
conclusion of the report is that with the risk factors we have got on | :05:16. | :05:21. | |
the island, the extent of smoking and excessive drinking and extent of | :05:21. | :05:24. | |
sunshine hours, we have got exactly the cancer rates we would expect. | :05:24. | :05:29. | |
But the good news is that the ones we have got higher rates of are the | :05:29. | :05:34. | |
printable ones. What kind of messages can health department be | :05:34. | :05:37. | |
putting out about the thing? It is about reminding people that they can | :05:37. | :05:41. | |
make personal decisions that stack their odds to freely in terms of | :05:41. | :05:45. | |
developing cancer in the future. Some people listening to this and | :05:45. | :05:50. | |
seeing the concrete evidence that smoking is behind it, 50 people | :05:50. | :05:55. | |
every year on the island are being diagnosed with lung cancer. If there | :05:55. | :05:59. | |
wasn't that level of smoking we had, that could be decimated. Somebody | :05:59. | :06:05. | |
listening to this might think, actually it is time to get help. | :06:05. | :06:08. | |
Looking at the skin cancer factor, today people might have spent all | :06:08. | :06:13. | |
day on the beach, there is another problem. What is the message that? | :06:13. | :06:18. | |
The big city behind skin cancer is avoid sunburn. Excessive sun | :06:18. | :06:28. | |
:06:28. | :06:32. | ||
exposure can cause sunburn and that is the thing to avoid. | :06:32. | :06:38. | |
information is power? There absolutely. Macro will this help in | :06:38. | :06:47. | |
terms of prevention? It hasn't -- we haven't got high cancer rates for | :06:47. | :06:50. | |
some unexplained reason. We know exactly where we have got them. | :06:50. | :06:53. | |
People can do something about it they want altered their odds and we | :06:53. | :06:59. | |
can continue to do all sorts of different things at government level | :06:59. | :07:03. | |
to get a workplace smoking ban, smoke-free hospitals and other ways | :07:03. | :07:11. | |
of pushing the boundaries further on smoke-free places. | :07:11. | :07:14. | |
The woman at the centre of abuse allegations against a Jersey church | :07:14. | :07:18. | |
warden says she's homeless in the UK, and sometimes has to scavenge in | :07:18. | :07:21. | |
bins to find food. In an exclusive interview with the BBC, The woman, | :07:22. | :07:26. | |
known as HG, claimed the Dean - the Very Reverend Bob Key - didn't act | :07:26. | :07:29. | |
quickly enough after she claimed a church warden had abused her. The | :07:29. | :07:32. | |
Dean had his commission withdrawn earlier this year, but was | :07:32. | :07:34. | |
reinstated afterwards. HG says she doesn't want one of two | :07:34. | :07:39. | |
investigations into what happened to go ahead. The diocese of Winchester | :07:39. | :07:45. | |
says that investigation will go ahead. The family of Guernsey woman | :07:45. | :07:48. | |
Gillian Sarahs, who was reported missing six months ago, say they | :07:48. | :07:51. | |
haven't given up searching for her .The 54-year-old hasn't been seen | :07:51. | :07:54. | |
since the beginning of February. Guernsey Police are continuing to | :07:54. | :07:57. | |
investigate, but say no clues have been found to explain what happened | :07:57. | :08:07. | |
:08:07. | :08:10. | ||
to Gillian. The company in charge of Jesse's bus service says talks today | :08:10. | :08:16. | |
having positive. Many bus workers said they would go on strike in | :08:16. | :08:19. | |
protest against shift patterns. The BBC understands that Tuesday the | :08:19. | :08:22. | |
20th of August has been set for a strike date. | :08:22. | :08:25. | |
You're watching the BBC in the Channel Islands. Later in Spotlight | :08:25. | :08:29. | |
with Justin and Natalie: Soaring over the urban jungle - the unusual | :08:29. | :08:35. | |
species living right under our noses. | :08:35. | :08:37. | |
Archaeologists have uncovered evidence of farming dating back | :08:37. | :08:41. | |
thousands of years in a Jersey graveyard. Plough marks and | :08:41. | :08:45. | |
decorated bits of pottery have been discovered in a dig in St Clement, | :08:45. | :08:50. | |
which date back to the bronze age. And as Emma Chambers now reports it | :08:50. | :08:55. | |
was a discovery they weren't expecting to make. They may not look | :08:55. | :08:58. | |
much but these markings have got archeologists excited in Jersey. | :08:58. | :09:02. | |
They are plough marks uncovered in a dig next to St Clements cemetery | :09:02. | :09:08. | |
dating back to the bronze age. It probably is something relatively | :09:08. | :09:12. | |
common and in certain areas where you've got a build up of soil later | :09:12. | :09:15. | |
on which has preserved them - um, one might expect quite a lot of | :09:15. | :09:19. | |
evidence of that sort of thing, but the thing is that in Jersey they | :09:19. | :09:23. | |
have not previously been found. They've turned up on one or two of | :09:23. | :09:26. | |
the Channel Islands from the neolithic and the bronze age, but | :09:26. | :09:30. | |
this is the first time they've turned up in Jersey and we're really | :09:30. | :09:33. | |
excited. Robert and his team had expected to | :09:33. | :09:37. | |
find remains from the Roman Period at the start of this dig so this | :09:37. | :09:41. | |
discovery as come as a surprise. Along with the plough marks they've | :09:41. | :09:51. | |
uncovered some detailed pottery too. We have got a piece of Bronze Age | :09:51. | :09:56. | |
pottery here. It was decorated by applying a blob of clay squashed in | :09:56. | :10:00. | |
with the fingers like so. There was a little pit in the middle which | :10:00. | :10:08. | |
display in St Clements church alongside the remains found from | :10:08. | :10:13. | |
last year. The site is also open to the public on Saturday 10th August. | :10:13. | :10:17. | |
It's official - today was the hottest day of the year so far in | :10:17. | :10:20. | |
Jersey. Jersey Met say the mercury hit 30.6 degrees Celsius at | :10:20. | :10:26. | |
lunchtime, and it was still rising. As you can see people on the beach | :10:26. | :10:30. | |
today were certainly making the most of it. But is it set to last? Here's | :10:30. | :10:40. | |
:10:40. | :10:42. | ||
today across the Channel Islands stopped Jersey, the hottest day of | :10:42. | :10:50. | |
the year so far with temperatures just over 30 degrees. Just for one | :10:50. | :10:53. | |
day only because there is quite a big change tomorrow. A lot more | :10:53. | :10:57. | |
cloud coming our way overnight and a fresher feel to the air I tomorrow | :10:57. | :11:02. | |
afternoon. The good the misty as well. Later we will see some mist | :11:02. | :11:06. | |
and low cloud appearing. Tomorrow, it becomes writer but certainly a | :11:06. | :11:16. | |
:11:16. | :11:17. | ||
lot cooler as we move into the afternoon. That it becomes cooler. | :11:17. | :11:21. | |
Fresher air coming in and quite a nice start to the weekend, apart | :11:21. | :11:27. | |
from a few showers dotted around. For all of us, it was feel cooler. A | :11:27. | :11:30. | |
bit misty overnight tonight. Some human itty remaining high until that | :11:30. | :11:36. | |
front comes in. Overnight temperatures no lower than 16 | :11:36. | :11:43. | |
degrees. The rain patchy in nature and gradually petering out by early | :11:43. | :11:52. | |
afternoon. As the front clears out of the way, lower humidity air. 19 | :11:52. | :11:57. | |
to 22 degrees will be the maximum temperature. The winds will be | :11:57. | :12:07. | |
:12:07. | :12:16. | ||
feet and mostly clean for our beaches. The outlook is staying | :12:16. | :12:22. | |
fresh air into the weekend. A bright, fine day on Saturday. Sunday | :12:22. | :12:27. | |
is a bit warmer. Late Sunday, the possibility of some overnight rain | :12:28. | :12:31. |
