state-owned airline is investing millions to protect a lifeline link. | :00:18. | :00:22. | |
We are confident that virtually all of the time we will have a full load | :00:22. | :00:23. | |
of passengers. Could Churches in the Channel | :00:23. | :00:28. | |
Islands break away from the Diocese of Winchester after secret talks? | :00:28. | :00:32. | |
And find out what this woman has been up to in a bear enclosure, a | :00:33. | :00:40. | |
tattoo parlour, a fire engine and even in this studio. | :00:40. | :00:45. | |
It might spark people 's imagination to see, she's being very daft. Let's | :00:45. | :00:53. | |
give her a pound! Is this the future of air travel in | :00:53. | :00:57. | |
Guernsey? It's the new Embraer 195 jet that Aurigny has ordered for its | :00:57. | :01:00. | |
Guernsey to London Gatwick service. The state-owned airline is investing | :01:01. | :01:06. | |
millions to protect what it calls a lifeline route. Flybe is due to stop | :01:06. | :01:12. | |
its five flights a day to London in March. Mike Wilkins reports. | :01:12. | :01:15. | |
Aurigny's largest aircraft, the ATR, will soon lose its star status as | :01:15. | :01:25. | |
the airline embraces the jet age. This is the Embraer 195 that Aurigny | :01:25. | :01:30. | |
has bought. They won't tell us the price they paid except that it was | :01:30. | :01:33. | |
under �25 million. It'll carry 122 passengers primarily on the Gatwick | :01:33. | :01:39. | |
route. Other carriers such as Flybe and British Airways already use the | :01:39. | :01:44. | |
aircraft for Jersey. It's claimed this jet is more reliable and is | :01:44. | :01:50. | |
better at landing in poor weather conditions. | :01:51. | :01:59. | |
It comes with specialist equipment which is quite an attractive bit of | :02:00. | :02:05. | |
technology and gives pilots better visibility. They can see the runway | :02:05. | :02:09. | |
more clearly and it is presenting information to them on the screen | :02:09. | :02:17. | |
which could help them get in in lower visibility conditions. | :02:17. | :02:21. | |
I've spoken to some commercial airline pilots who tell me they have | :02:21. | :02:26. | |
concerns as to whether Embraer 195 can really take off and land fully | :02:26. | :02:35. | |
loaded. We have a wide variety of weather conditions on Guernsey. We | :02:35. | :02:40. | |
have applied all of that to this specific aircraft and are confident | :02:40. | :02:44. | |
that virtually all of the time we are going to be able to take off and | :02:44. | :02:47. | |
land with a full load of passengers. As Aurigny expands its fleet, this | :02:47. | :02:50. | |
is a great opportunity for the airline. They insist that the cost | :02:50. | :02:54. | |
of a ticket should remain at 2012 prices and they forecast that they | :02:54. | :03:01. | |
should be turning a modest profit within two years. | :03:01. | :03:04. | |
Anglican Church members in the Channel Islands have met secretly to | :03:04. | :03:06. | |
raise concerns about their relationship with the Church of | :03:06. | :03:10. | |
England. The meeting was never meant to be in the public domain but the | :03:10. | :03:14. | |
BBC has obtained details about what was discussed. Our reporter Amy | :03:14. | :03:22. | |
Harris has been following this one and joins me now. What was the | :03:22. | :03:24. | |
meeting about? Well, this meeting follows | :03:24. | :03:27. | |
investigations by the Winchester diocese into Jersey's Dean after he | :03:27. | :03:30. | |
allegedly mishandled an abuse complaint. It was a private meeting, | :03:30. | :03:33. | |
which wasn't supposed to reach the ears of the public. But the BBC has | :03:33. | :03:36. | |
learnt that representatives from the Anglican Church in Jersey and | :03:36. | :03:39. | |
Guernsey met here last Friday. Senator Sir Philip Bailhache | :03:39. | :03:42. | |
organised it and says those attending discussed fears about | :03:42. | :03:45. | |
their relationship with the Diocese of Winchester and whether it should | :03:45. | :03:51. | |
continue. Is there any serious chance of | :03:51. | :03:55. | |
Jersey and Guernsey breaking away from the English system? | :03:55. | :03:59. | |
That as yet is unclear. What is clear is emotions have been running | :03:59. | :04:02. | |
high. Saturday's Jersey Evening Post included this full page advert from | :04:02. | :04:06. | |
a group of Church members worried about the reputation of the Anglican | :04:06. | :04:14. | |
Church. The advert says the Bishop of Winchester's reaction has been | :04:14. | :04:17. | |
over the top, costing a lot and undermining confidence in the Jersey | :04:17. | :04:21. | |
Church. But Senator Bailhache told the BBC the meeting was just an | :04:21. | :04:31. | |
:04:31. | :04:38. | ||
informal exchanging of views and no decisions were made there. | :04:38. | :04:41. | |
Two people have been arrested in connection with the removal of | :04:41. | :04:43. | |
Guernsey's Holocaust memorial plaque last week. The brass plaque | :04:44. | :04:46. | |
commemorates three Jewish women who were deported from Guernsey during | :04:46. | :04:50. | |
the Second World War and who later died at Auschwitz. The suspects have | :04:50. | :04:52. | |
been interviewed and released on police bail pending further | :04:52. | :04:55. | |
enquiries. Guernsey Police are still appealing for any witnesses to the | :04:55. | :05:02. | |
incident to come forward. A Guernsey surgical ward that's been closed for | :05:02. | :05:05. | |
more than eight months because of budget and staffing concerns will | :05:05. | :05:08. | |
open again in October. The De Saumarez ward at the Princess | :05:08. | :05:11. | |
Elizabeth Hospital was shut in December as the Health and Social | :05:11. | :05:14. | |
Services Department tried to control spending. HSSD Minister Mark Dorey | :05:14. | :05:18. | |
says plans are being made to change ward services at the PEH to make | :05:18. | :05:27. | |
better use of resources. A lot has been written over the | :05:27. | :05:30. | |
years about the Channel Island's occupation during the Second World | :05:30. | :05:33. | |
War but now a team of leading academics is promising to shed a | :05:33. | :05:37. | |
whole new light on it. They claim there was in fact Nazi resistance in | :05:37. | :05:40. | |
the Islands and their book Protest, Defiance and Resistance explores the | :05:40. | :05:43. | |
complex relationship between the Nazis and the Islanders. It's due | :05:43. | :05:46. | |
for publication next year but I spoke to one of the authors, Dr | :05:47. | :05:50. | |
Gilly Carr of Cambridge University, earlier about why she felt there was | :05:50. | :05:58. | |
a new story to tell and about her own interest in the Channel Islands. | :05:58. | :06:05. | |
My family is from Guernsey. My mum's family moved in the 16 80s and | :06:05. | :06:12. | |
my dad's family moved just before the First World War. Many books have | :06:12. | :06:19. | |
been published on this subject, what is different about your one? | :06:19. | :06:24. | |
I think many books don't do justice to the amount of resistance. The | :06:24. | :06:29. | |
underplay it. No proper research has ever really been done which focuses | :06:29. | :06:37. | |
on this subject. It is extraordinary that it has never been done. Were | :06:37. | :06:45. | |
you surprised what you found from your re-search? We were really | :06:45. | :06:55. | |
:06:55. | :06:56. | ||
pleasantly surprised. Many people would say it is time to put that | :06:56. | :07:03. | |
part of history behind us but why would say it is important to | :07:03. | :07:08. | |
remember? I don't think you can put something behind you and tell you | :07:08. | :07:14. | |
have dealt with it properly. Nobody has ever done the studies and | :07:14. | :07:18. | |
produced the figures so it is impossible to move on until this | :07:18. | :07:27. | |
subject is discussed properly. will be be able to read it? It is | :07:27. | :07:32. | |
coming out in hardback in March 20 14th and we have negotiated a | :07:32. | :07:39. | |
special edition for the Channel Islands to follow a few months | :07:39. | :07:46. | |
later. Keep an eye out for that book next | :07:46. | :07:49. | |
year. You're watching the BBC in the | :07:49. | :07:52. | |
Channel Islands. Later in Spotlight with Justin and Natalie, the man who | :07:52. | :07:56. | |
first located the Mary Rose finally comes face to face with Henry VIII's | :07:56. | :08:06. | |
:08:06. | :08:07. | ||
famous warship. In a fire engine, in the bear | :08:07. | :08:10. | |
enclosure at Durrell and while getting a tattoo done. These are | :08:10. | :08:14. | |
just some of the weird and wonderful places charity fundraiser Sue De La | :08:14. | :08:17. | |
Cour has been reading her Kindle, which is like an electronic book. | :08:17. | :08:21. | |
It's part of her summer challenge to raise money for Jersey Hospice Care | :08:21. | :08:25. | |
and she's open to more location suggestions. Let's take a look at | :08:25. | :08:35. | |
:08:35. | :08:56. | ||
what she's done so far and hear why. This came from me sitting in my | :08:56. | :09:00. | |
chair a few weeks ago and wanting to do something for the hospice and | :09:00. | :09:05. | |
thinking that sponsored walks had been done. I like reading. Reading | :09:05. | :09:13. | |
instrument places, that could be good. That is where it grew from. -- | :09:13. | :09:22. | |
reading in strange places. I've been in the chapel at the General | :09:22. | :09:28. | |
Hospital, I've been to the fire station and police Station, I've had | :09:28. | :09:38. | |
:09:38. | :09:54. | ||
a tattooed on, I've been to the war after three of my friends and I just | :09:54. | :10:01. | |
wanted to do something to say thank you and which might spark people 's | :10:01. | :10:07. | |
imagination to see, she's very daft, let's give her a pound. I thought | :10:07. | :10:14. | |
that studio looked familiar! Not such a bad day weather-wise today | :10:14. | :10:24. | |
:10:24. | :10:32. | ||
but things might be able to heat up tonight. Tomorrow we should have a | :10:32. | :10:40. | |
fine and dry day with sunny spells. It will feel a little bit warmer. | :10:40. | :10:45. | |
There is a weak area of high pressure which will move across as | :10:45. | :10:50. | |
tonight and be with us for much of the day tomorrow. But it is being | :10:50. | :10:57. | |
squashed down to the South by several weather systems. They are | :10:57. | :11:07. | |
fairly weak affairs where we are but they do introduce more closed. -- | :11:07. | :11:17. | |
:11:17. | :11:31. | ||
more closed. We have some patchy cloud tomorrow. There is our coastal | :11:31. | :11:41. | |
:11:41. | :11:56. | ||
surfers but at least they will be clean. Looking further ahead, on | :11:56. | :12:02. |
