bakeries are shut down. The factory here runs for four hours a day. In | :00:17. | :00:22. | |
the UK, they run for 24 hours a day. In the last three years we have seen | :00:22. | :00:31. | |
locally produced bread sales drop by government to improve conditions for | :00:31. | :00:35. | |
cyclists after fatal road accident - but are they prepared to spend | :00:35. | :00:39. | |
taxpayers' cash? Plus, more mobile phone masts are | :00:39. | :00:49. | |

put up as the demand for mobile 80 people are facing redundancy this | :00:51. | :00:54. | |
evening, as plans have been announced to close the CI Bakery in | :00:55. | :00:59. | |
Jersey and Warry's in Guernsey. Cimandis - the company behind the | :00:59. | :01:04. | |
bakeries - says it can no longer compete with UK imports. Both plants | :01:04. | :01:11. | |
are expected to close in the autumn. Amy Harris reports. | :01:11. | :01:15. | |
Local loaves, proudly displaying the name of the island. But after 100 | :01:15. | :01:20. | |
years producing bread here, it's no longer economically viable. CI | :01:20. | :01:23. | |

potential loss of 80 jobs. Bred in the Channel Islands is more | :01:34. | :01:39. | |
expensive than that made in the UK. -- bread. The factory runs for four | :01:39. | :01:46. | |
hours a day. In the UK, they run for 24 hours a day. In the last 23 | :01:46. | :01:50. | |
years, we have seen locally produced bread sales drop by 50%. Unlike | :01:50. | :01:52. | |
Jersey and Guernsey Milk, which have a monopoly, locally-produced bread | :01:52. | :02:02. | |
is competing against big named UK brands which are cheaper. While | :02:02. | :02:05. | |
shoppers may have been voting with their wallets - but many say they'll | :02:05. | :02:11. | |
miss having a local choice. I think it is a very retrograde step and a | :02:11. | :02:19. | |
loss to the island. Very bad news. Quite surprised. But there is a big | :02:19. | :02:21. | |
market out there and everybody has two sharpening their pencils in a | :02:21. | :02:24. | |
recession. It means independent artisan companies will be making the | :02:24. | :02:27. | |
only locally-produced bread. Several have told the BBC that it's a sad | :02:27. | :02:31. | |
day, and the end of an era for the Channel Islands' bakery industry. | :02:31. | :02:34. | |
Little comfort for the dozens of Cimandis employees, whose jobs | :02:34. | :02:44. | |

Guernsey needs more dedicated off-road cycle routes, according to | :03:03. | :03:06. | |
the president of the island's Velo Club. While the east and north coast | :03:06. | :03:10. | |
cycle routes are good, some would like to see a south coast route. It | :03:10. | :03:13. | |
follows the news this week that millions of pounds is being injected | :03:13. | :03:16. | |
into cities in England to promote cycling. Mike Wilkins reports. Four | :03:16. | :03:20. | |
months ago, a cyclist lost his life when he collided with a lorry. It | :03:20. | :03:23. | |
shocked many and brought into harsh focus the brutal reality of the | :03:23. | :03:27. | |
risks of cycling in Guernsey. This man is President of Guernsey's Velo | :03:27. | :03:30. | |
Club. He wants more cycle lanes in the island. I actually assume that | :03:30. | :03:33. | |
every person is going to knock me off my bike. If I cycle with out | :03:33. | :03:36. | |
attitude I am completely unaware of what is happening around me, I stand | :03:36. | :03:40. | |
a good chance of surviving. The island is very populated, that would | :03:40. | :03:43. | |
be difficult to replicate this anywhere else. But we should look at | :03:43. | :03:47. | |
what we can do to encourage areas from the south and south-west, to | :03:47. | :03:53. | |
try to find ways of getting cyclists here without having to mix too much | :03:53. | :03:56. | |
with traffic. When some roads are this narrow the options are limited, | :03:56. | :03:59. | |
but are cycle lanes something the Government is willing to invest in? | :03:59. | :04:01. | |
Well, the BBC contacted the Environment Department, who were | :04:01. | :04:05. | |
unable to provide a comment. Efforts have been made to encourage cycling | :04:05. | :04:08. | |
commuters such as these covered parking areas, but there are still | :04:08. | :04:18. | |
:04:18. | :04:20. | ||
plenty uncovered. I think that is really not acceptable. People spend | :04:20. | :04:27. | |
a lot of money on bicycles and they do not want them left chained. More | :04:27. | :04:30. | |
covered cycle park bays would be useful. Most governments accept that | :04:30. | :04:32. | |
cycling's beneficial for communities. It's now up to | :04:32. | :04:35. | |
Guernsey's to decide if it can afford to encourage more people to | :04:35. | :04:41. | |
get on their bike. A consultant has been taken on to | :04:41. | :04:44. | |
run Guernsey's Accident and Emergency department. It was a key | :04:44. | :04:47. | |
recommendation in a report looking at how to improve standards there, | :04:47. | :04:51. | |
which at the time caused concern about its level of safety. The | :04:51. | :04:54. | |
Health Department will now start the process of recruiting someone for | :04:54. | :05:01. | |
the new role. The patients get a good service. | :05:01. | :05:10. | |
There are shorter waiting times in the A&E departments. This is really | :05:10. | :05:16. | |
about leadership and development of the service and taking it forward. | :05:16. | :05:20. | |
More phone masts are being put up in Jersey as the demand for mobile | :05:20. | :05:23. | |
internet increases. The idea is to make it quicker when using broadband | :05:23. | :05:26. | |
on the go. But some want reassurances that it'll cover the | :05:26. | :05:29. | |
whole island and not cost too much. Pam Caulfield reports. Calling, | :05:29. | :05:33. | |
texting and emailing - things we can all now do away from our desks. And | :05:33. | :05:36. | |
as mobile phones become more advanced, soon we should be able to | :05:36. | :05:40. | |
get even more done on the move. But only if network operators can keep | :05:41. | :05:50. | |
:05:51. | :05:51. | ||
up. We have got an ongoing programme of mass directions to make sure we | :05:51. | :05:57. | |
have the capacity to handle its -- this increased data usage. And also | :05:57. | :06:03. | |
in areas like the town, we have supplemented the masts with ones | :06:03. | :06:08. | |
like the one you see behind you. here it is - each day it deals with | :06:08. | :06:11. | |
450 gigabites of data, which is around 500 feature length films. | :06:11. | :06:13. | |
It'll also support 4G technology when it becomes available, allowing | :06:13. | :06:17. | |
faster mobile broadband speeds. But some want assurances that everyone | :06:17. | :06:27. | |
:06:27. | :06:27. | ||
can access it across the island, at a reasonable price. I think either | :06:27. | :06:32. | |
the public or the regulator needs to be sure that they are following | :06:32. | :06:36. | |
through on that investment and producing island-wide coverage as | :06:36. | :06:41. | |
soon as possible as a good price. Just putting the first station job | :06:41. | :06:45. | |
is good but there is a long way to go. I hope the operator is committed | :06:45. | :06:49. | |
to delivering high-quality service. Sure say they check coverage | :06:49. | :06:52. | |
regularly, and their tariffs are clear, so customers shouldn't face | :06:52. | :06:57. | |
any surprises when they open their bills. | :06:57. | :07:01. | |
You're watching the BBC in the Channel Islands. Later in Spotlight | :07:01. | :07:04. | |
with Justin and Natalie, peddle and paddle power, a journey across the | :07:04. | :07:14. | |
:07:14. | :07:14. | ||
country on land and water. And David has got the weather. From | :07:14. | :07:18. | |
home-made sausages rolls to tasty Thai food - a pop up cafe with a | :07:18. | :07:22. | |
difference is open in Guernsey this week. It's part of a scheme to help | :07:22. | :07:25. | |
young people that are unemployed find work. Penny Elderfield went to | :07:25. | :07:27. | |
the Caves Youth centre to find out more. | :07:27. | :07:30. | |
On the job experience, for someone who's struggled to find one for | :07:30. | :07:40. | |
:07:40. | :07:42. | ||
years. I have been looking for a job for six years now. This is a good | :07:42. | :07:45. | |
skill to have because it shows you're willing to learn new things | :07:45. | :07:50. | |
and have it under your belt for when you go for different jobs. It gave | :07:50. | :07:53. | |
me the get up and go to find new jobs. After five weeks of training | :07:53. | :07:56. | |
in everything from CV writing, to cooking and customer service, for | :07:56. | :08:00. | |
the next week is just one of a number young people who'll be | :08:00. | :08:05. | |
helping to run this cafe in town. -- Jamie is just one of number of young | :08:05. | :08:08. | |
people. Offering service with a smile, and some of the food they've | :08:08. | :08:14. | |
learnt to make. It is everything, really. We love that advertising, | :08:14. | :08:18. | |
putting flyers together etc. Putting the menus together, the costings. As | :08:18. | :08:21. | |
well as making the copies and preparing food. They'll be here and | :08:21. | :08:25. | |
open for business for the rest of the week. And hopefully after that | :08:25. | :08:31. | |
it'll open up a lot more opportunities for them. | :08:31. | :08:35. | |
Could look to them. There's a new arrival at Durrell. Bahia is a | :08:35. | :08:38. | |
two-year-old female Andean bear. Conservation Trust staff have | :08:38. | :08:41. | |
transported her all the way from Berlin Zoo to Jersey, in an epic | :08:41. | :08:45. | |
17-hour journey. Here she is getting used to her new surroundings. Bahia | :08:45. | :08:48. | |
is, for now, the only Andean bear at Durrell, after Barbara and Wolfgang | :08:48. | :08:57. | |
died earlier this year. But she'll have a male bear for company soon. | :08:58. | :09:03. | |
We will get her settled first of all and get her through quarantine. We | :09:03. | :09:08. | |
have a male bears lined up already. We're basically processing the | :09:08. | :09:14. | |
paperwork and awaiting a date to import him. We would like cups. It | :09:14. | :09:19. | |
is important that the captive programme is continued. At the | :09:19. | :09:22. | |
moment the captive population is quite an older population. So | :09:22. | :09:25. | |
getting new Bears is quite important. | :09:25. | :09:30. | |
important. Now the weather. Good evening. We | :09:30. | :09:33. | |
have more cloud tomorrow. Thick enough to give us like rain or | :09:34. | :09:39. | |
drizzle. After a bright start, it clouds over and we will see some | :09:39. | :09:44. | |
drizzle or light rain. Too little weather systems coming our way. We | :09:44. | :09:49. | |
have this area of high pressure. It is a weaker affair. These weather | :09:49. | :09:54. | |
fronts will trickle across us. Once they move out of the way, we open | :09:54. | :10:00. | |
the door to mild, moist air from the south-west. A fair amount of cloud. | :10:00. | :10:05. | |
Some breaks in the cloud, particularly through Thursday. Some | :10:05. | :10:09. | |
clear skies to start with overnight. Perhaps a glimpse of those shooting | :10:09. | :10:13. | |
stars. As we move into the early hours of the morning, it clouds | :10:13. | :10:21. | |
over. Some brightness and some sunshine around the middle of the | :10:21. | :10:26. | |
day. Gradually clouding over. The afternoon continues to see the | :10:26. | :10:32. | |
cloud. By the end of the afternoon, patchy rain. 20 or 21 degrees will | :10:32. | :10:42. | |
:10:42. | :10:43. | ||
be the top temperature. The coastal waters forecast: times of high | :10:43. | :10:53. | |
:10:53. | :11:05. | ||
clean enough in the morning before the sea becomes quite choppy. | :11:05. | :11:09. | |
On Thursday, after a grey and misty start, it should brighten up with | :11:09. | :11:12. | |
sunny spells. It will feel quite warm. 24 degrees is the top | :11:12. | :11:17. | |
temperature. Then a cold front arriving on Friday will be slow to | :11:18. | :11:22. | |
clear. A dreary morning with patchy rain. Brighter and fresher | :11:22. | :11:25. | |
conditions in the afternoon. Quite breezy and rather cloudy on | :11:25. | :11:35. | |
weeks ago we told you about a Jersey woman who was aiming to do the | :11:35. | :11:38. | |
double Channel swim to raise money for cancer charities. Wendy Trehiou, | :11:39. | :11:42. | |
who is a breast cancer survivor, set off from Dover around midday today. | :11:42. | :11:47. |
