Here in the Channel Islands: flying on reserve fuel. | :00:00. | :00:15. | |
An initial report into why this search and rescue plane crashed says | :00:16. | :00:18. | |
the pilot wasn't flying on the aircrafts main fuel tanks. | :00:19. | :00:21. | |
Terrifying. Once the second engine cut out, I prepare to myself to die. | :00:22. | :00:26. | |
That was it. House sales in Jersey are at their | :00:27. | :00:34. | |
highest level for six years. How are you doing? Why local posties | :00:35. | :00:42. | |
are delivering good cheer. The search and rescue aircraft which | :00:43. | :00:54. | |
crashed in Jersey earlier this month was running on its reserve fuel | :00:55. | :00:58. | |
supply, despite having two full fuel tanks. That's according to a report | :00:59. | :01:06. | |
out today. The Lions Pride had been part of a search for two missing | :01:07. | :01:10. | |
fishermen when it ditched on a cliff edge in darkness and gale force | :01:11. | :01:14. | |
winds. The report says both of the plane's engines failed after the | :01:15. | :01:17. | |
pilot failed to switch their fuel supply to the main tanks. Mike | :01:18. | :01:23. | |
Wilkins has more. The resting point for the Lions | :01:24. | :01:27. | |
Pride. Almost two weeks ago it was searching for two missing fishermen | :01:28. | :01:30. | |
when it crash landed on a headland in Jersey. Today, the Air Accidents | :01:31. | :01:33. | |
Investigation Branch has concluded that its two engines failed after | :01:34. | :01:36. | |
running out of fuel. Miraculously, no`one was injured and the pilot has | :01:37. | :01:39. | |
been widely praised for ditching in very challenging conditions. | :01:40. | :01:45. | |
Although the plane's fuel tanks were full, the engines were instead being | :01:46. | :01:48. | |
supplied by alternative tanks, known as tip tanks, which had run out | :01:49. | :01:53. | |
during out the flight. The preliminary report says that the | :01:54. | :01:57. | |
fuel supply to the right engine, and then the left engine, became | :01:58. | :01:59. | |
exhausted and the engines ceased producing power approximately 15 | :02:00. | :02:02. | |
minutes after the aircraft became airborne. No action was taken to | :02:03. | :02:07. | |
select an alternative fuel source for the engines after their power | :02:08. | :02:11. | |
loss. One of the five crew onboard says he thought he was going to die. | :02:12. | :02:21. | |
Terrifying. One the first engine cut out, for me that was the most | :02:22. | :02:25. | |
terrifying until the second one did. There was still hope we could make | :02:26. | :02:31. | |
it. Once the second engine cut out, myself, not speaking on behalf of | :02:32. | :02:35. | |
the rest of the group, I myself to die. That was it. A pilot was | :02:36. | :02:41. | |
working extremely hard and you do not have a clear indication. There | :02:42. | :02:47. | |
are some very dim lights. Unfortunately, this situation was | :02:48. | :02:50. | |
missed. A replacement aeroplane to sit in | :02:51. | :02:53. | |
this hangar here at Guernsey Airport could cost almost ?3 million but the | :02:54. | :02:57. | |
Air Search founder says if they can raise ?1 million they can patch up | :02:58. | :03:01. | |
the Lions Pride and have her back in the air in nine months' time. It can | :03:02. | :03:09. | |
be repaired. It should be going up to Scotland towards the end of next | :03:10. | :03:13. | |
week or a little later depending on whether. I am afraid it is a large | :03:14. | :03:21. | |
undertaking. It is a nine`month job. It involves a new wing and fuselage. | :03:22. | :03:24. | |
Air investigators are still investigating and the Channel | :03:25. | :03:28. | |
Islands Air Search has set up an independent internal investigation. | :03:29. | :03:30. | |
Mike Wilkins, BBC Channel Islands News. | :03:31. | :03:37. | |
House sales in Jersey are at their highest level for six years. The | :03:38. | :03:40. | |
number of two, three and four bedroom homes which sold between | :03:41. | :03:43. | |
July and September this year was the highest since the third quarter of | :03:44. | :03:46. | |
2007. Average house prices, however, are about the same as last year. So | :03:47. | :03:50. | |
what's prompted this volume of transactions? Earlier, I asked that | :03:51. | :03:53. | |
to Jim Coupe from Channel Islands mortgage lender Skipton | :03:54. | :03:59. | |
International. I don't think it is a sudden rush. We saw increased | :04:00. | :04:03. | |
integrity and that his continued. `` increased activity. There is | :04:04. | :04:11. | |
confidence coming back and stimulus loans will help first`time buyers | :04:12. | :04:13. | |
who don't have the market and they will have purchased properties and | :04:14. | :04:22. | |
helped chains moved forwards. Is their property to meet demand? The | :04:23. | :04:26. | |
general feeling is that there is a lot of property available in Jersey | :04:27. | :04:31. | |
and has been for some time. The prices remaining relatively static | :04:32. | :04:33. | |
would suggest there is plenty of supply. This is good news for people | :04:34. | :04:39. | |
in your industry and estate agents but isn't sustainable? It is good | :04:40. | :04:44. | |
news for the whole economy because housing transactions support the | :04:45. | :04:48. | |
economy. There are a lot of houses still for sales over time, we would | :04:49. | :04:52. | |
say that they return to high volumes is good news. Average prices have | :04:53. | :04:58. | |
not changed that much, hardly likely to come down and help even more | :04:59. | :05:04. | |
people get on the ladder? It is unlikely that traces will reduce | :05:05. | :05:07. | |
because that suggests there is more demand. | :05:08. | :05:09. | |
Jim Coupe, the Managing Director of Skipton International, speaking a | :05:10. | :05:11. | |
little earlier. Plans have been approved for two | :05:12. | :05:14. | |
temporary operating theatres on stilts at Jersey's General Hospital. | :05:15. | :05:20. | |
They'll be used for up to ten years while the proposed new hospital is | :05:21. | :05:23. | |
developed. But after heritage experts objected to the proposed | :05:24. | :05:26. | |
frontage of green ceramic tiles, the designers will go back to the | :05:27. | :05:28. | |
drawing board. Employers in Guernsey won't be | :05:29. | :05:31. | |
paying more social security contributions next year, after a | :05:32. | :05:34. | |
proposal for a 0.5% increase was rejected by States members. However, | :05:35. | :05:42. | |
pensioners in the island will be getting more money next year. Plans | :05:43. | :05:45. | |
were approved for single pensioners to receive just over ?4 a week more, | :05:46. | :05:49. | |
while pensioner couples will get an extra ?6. | :05:50. | :05:55. | |
A wild boar that's been the talk of Alderney for the past month has been | :05:56. | :05:58. | |
shot. These pictures of the creature were taken by a local pig farmer. | :05:59. | :06:04. | |
The BBC understands the boar was shot on private land last week. | :06:05. | :06:07. | |
There were concerns it could be carrying diseases. But as the body | :06:08. | :06:10. | |
has since been disposed of, no tests could be carried out. Police in | :06:11. | :06:13. | |
Alderney say they're not investigating. | :06:14. | :06:23. | |
You're watching the BBC in the Channel Islands. Later in Spotlight | :06:24. | :06:25. | |
with Justin and Clare: How your Children in Need donations | :06:26. | :06:29. | |
have provided a safe haven for a little boy and his mum. | :06:30. | :06:33. | |
Also the forecast. It was formed earlier this year with a clear aim ` | :06:34. | :06:37. | |
make sure Guernsey French doesn't die out. But there's concern | :06:38. | :06:39. | |
Guernsey's new language commission hasn't been proactive enough. So | :06:40. | :06:50. | |
what more could be done to promote and preserve patois? Penny | :06:51. | :07:01. | |
Elderfield reports. So I will ask you... | :07:02. | :07:03. | |
A new class... Teaching an old language. And part of efforts to | :07:04. | :07:06. | |
make sure Guernsey French doesn't die out. It is going to need classes | :07:07. | :07:15. | |
for people of all ages. I think the young people it is most important | :07:16. | :07:19. | |
for. As much as possible should be done. It should be included as part | :07:20. | :07:24. | |
of the curriculum in the schools. At one time, you got on the bus went | :07:25. | :07:29. | |
shopping and heard the line what all the time. I would like to play my | :07:30. | :07:32. | |
part in being able to revive that in my family. `` heard the language all | :07:33. | :07:38. | |
the time. An advantage of teaching adults is that they have the | :07:39. | :07:42. | |
opportunity to pass it on. It is part of identity, whether that be | :07:43. | :07:48. | |
personal or the island's identity. It seems that the fact that there is | :07:49. | :07:52. | |
this interest, it seems that this matters to people. Similar classes | :07:53. | :07:56. | |
are held in schools. And over the last year, hours of conversation | :07:57. | :08:03. | |
have been recorded. But is the island really doing enough to | :08:04. | :08:06. | |
preserve patois? Earlier this year, a language commission was formed, | :08:07. | :08:09. | |
tasked with that very job. But there's criticism now that whilst | :08:10. | :08:12. | |
there was a lot of talk about what to do initially, there's not been | :08:13. | :08:21. | |
much action since. I would expect a bit more at this stage to stop it | :08:22. | :08:24. | |
cannot be the same as the French institution, declaring exactly how | :08:25. | :08:31. | |
it should be spoken. What it can do is promote the language, show the | :08:32. | :08:34. | |
diversity and the opportunities that can happen as a result of speaking | :08:35. | :08:37. | |
Guernsey French. But for those with concerns, the commission is planning | :08:38. | :08:40. | |
to give an update next week on exactly what it intends to do to | :08:41. | :08:42. | |
save this language. Postmen and women in Jersey have | :08:43. | :08:55. | |
been delivering a lot more than letters this week. As part of a | :08:56. | :08:59. | |
trial scheme, they're also checking up on vulnerable people during their | :09:00. | :09:02. | |
rounds. Jersey Post is piloting its Call and Check programme in St | :09:03. | :09:05. | |
Brelade. But the scheme has had interest from mail companies around | :09:06. | :09:10. | |
the world, as Tim Robinson reports. Jersey postman Ricky Le Quesne off | :09:11. | :09:14. | |
on his usual round in St Brelade. He's delivered shopping to number | :09:15. | :09:22. | |
24, a present to number 26... But at his next stop, he's delivering a | :09:23. | :09:26. | |
little kindness. Hello, my darling. How are you? Not too bad. | :09:27. | :09:34. | |
This is Call and Check in action. Everything well? | :09:35. | :09:36. | |
Posties like Ricky don't provide care, or help with the housework. | :09:37. | :09:41. | |
They don't even step into the house. They just pop by to say hello and | :09:42. | :09:46. | |
check everything is all right. When I heard about the scheme, I thought, | :09:47. | :09:50. | |
"Well, what an absolutely wonderful idea." Because they'll used to | :09:51. | :09:53. | |
meeting their own postman and so he won't be a stranger coming to the | :09:54. | :09:58. | |
door. I thought if I signed up now, I would be used to someone coming | :09:59. | :10:02. | |
and calling, and be available to really get to know him as a friend, | :10:03. | :10:06. | |
and not just a stranger knocking at my door. That familiarity is what | :10:07. | :10:09. | |
inspired Jersey Post to come up with the scheme. It saw growing numbers | :10:10. | :10:12. | |
of elderly, lonely vulnerable people on the island and decided to use its | :10:13. | :10:16. | |
network to help. It seems to have hit a note with lots of places. We | :10:17. | :10:23. | |
have had the Cabinet Office in London interested in it. We've had | :10:24. | :10:26. | |
connections from America, from Australia. So it's just a logical | :10:27. | :10:29. | |
thing for a postal service to develop in to. Logical because it's | :10:30. | :10:32. | |
already calling on most homes every day and because as the need for a | :10:33. | :10:36. | |
traditional postal service declines, companies like Jersey Post have to | :10:37. | :10:40. | |
diversify to make money. If this pilot is successful, they'll ask the | :10:41. | :10:43. | |
Government to fund them to roll it out across the island. If that's a | :10:44. | :10:49. | |
success, the rest of the world may follow Jersey's lead. | :10:50. | :10:55. | |
Let's have a look at the weather. Let's have a look | :10:56. | :11:03. | |
Good evening. The cold air has arrived and I don't think that is | :11:04. | :11:05. | |
going to change that much over the next few days. The wind may ease a | :11:06. | :11:09. | |
little bit, especially into the weekend. But the cold is with us and | :11:10. | :11:14. | |
likely to stay. Tomorrow, that cold wind is still there. A slightly | :11:15. | :11:18. | |
different direction, not quite as strong as today. Some cloudy spells | :11:19. | :11:23. | |
remaining dry. The area of high pressure is going to be close by | :11:24. | :11:27. | |
right through the weekend. That means we stay basically was the | :11:28. | :11:31. | |
colder air. This evening and overnight, there is still the risk | :11:32. | :11:34. | |
of the odd passing shower. That gives a little bit closer by the | :11:35. | :11:38. | |
team we get to the middle of the day tomorrow but it is still around and | :11:39. | :11:41. | |
we can. It gets squashed a little but as the cold weather system | :11:42. | :11:46. | |
arrives for the Northwest. `` it is still around during the weekend. | :11:47. | :11:50. | |
Tonight, still a chance of the odd passing shower. The winds will | :11:51. | :11:55. | |
become a north`easterly and it will also ease with overnight | :11:56. | :12:00. | |
temperatures down. For tomorrow, the morning sunshine will also last | :12:01. | :12:04. | |
until the end of the morning and afternoon before we gradually cloud | :12:05. | :12:08. | |
over. The second half of the day, particularly the end of the | :12:09. | :12:10. | |
afternoon, there is generally more cloud. Tomorrow is not very warm. So | :12:11. | :12:15. | |
in that keen breeze and it will feel colder. That is 50 Fahrenheit. | :12:16. | :12:41. | |
As we move into Saturday, the winds are lighter and we should see some | :12:42. | :12:48. | |
sunshine. A bit more cloud of developing in the second half of the | :12:49. | :12:52. | |
day. Rather cloudy on Sunday and then Monday, finally, that weather | :12:53. | :12:55. | |
front will arrive to bring us some outbreaks of rain. The temperatures | :12:56. | :12:59. | |
do not change all that much over the next few days. | :13:00. | :13:03. | |
Justin is next with Spotlight. I am back at | :13:04. | :13:03. | |
A man has appeared in court in London on terrorism charges | :13:04. | :19:36. | |
following his arrest in Cornwall. Police arrested the man in a dawn | :19:37. | :19:40. | |
raid on a house in Newquay. Eleanor Parkinson reports. | :19:41. | :19:46. | |
The man was detained after a surge of his flat in this building. The | :19:47. | :19:51. | |
other flats contain people not related to him in any way. The | :19:52. | :19:58. | |
police say a pre`dash`mac preplanned operation took place yesterday | :19:59. | :20:01. | |
morning. This investigation has been going on for some time, so it was | :20:02. | :20:09. | |
not related to immediate concerns for public safety, but at 7:30am we | :20:10. | :20:16. | |
made an arrest. Police have named the man as a 46`year`old French | :20:17. | :20:23. | |
Algerian. Neighbours I spoke to this morning said he kept himself to | :20:24. | :20:26. | |
himself and he has lived it for about six months. He was driven to | :20:27. | :20:32. | |
London this morning and appeared before Westminster magistrates this | :20:33. | :20:36. | |
afternoon, charged with having information useful to a terrorist | :20:37. | :20:42. | |
and transferring terrorist information electronically. He is | :20:43. | :20:47. | |
due before the Old Bailey next week. A teacher who blackmailed teenage | :20:48. | :20:50. | |
girls into sending him sexual pictures of themselves has been | :20:51. | :20:53. | |
jailed at Exeter Crown Court for six years. 37`year`old Zahid Akram, who | :20:54. | :20:58. | |
was living in Exeter, targeted the victims after befriending them on | :20:59. | :21:09. | |
social networking sites. Tomorrow's the big day ` Children in | :21:10. | :21:13. | |
Need 2013 and every day this week we've been looking at the difference | :21:14. | :21:16. | |
the money you raise makes to the lives of children here in the South | :21:17. | :21:18. | |
West. Over the next two nights, we'll be | :21:19. | :21:22. | |
hearing about the work of Children's Hospice South West. Dennis and his | :21:23. | :21:25. | |
family go to Little Harbour for respite care. His mum, Keely, tells | :21:26. | :21:30. | |
his story. It's my safe haven, my sanctuary, my | :21:31. | :21:35. | |
sanity. Where would I be without it? I would not know how to get to the | :21:36. | :21:42. | |
days. Dennis is my sixth child. You do not think he will be the one to | :21:43. | :21:48. | |
have a poorly child. He was born at 26 weeks. He then went on to have a | :21:49. | :21:53. | |
bleed on the brain which caused by the catalysts. He then got | :21:54. | :21:58. | |
septicaemia. He has ended up with severe brain damage. Alongside that, | :21:59. | :22:04. | |
we have now got the onset of him suturing because he gets cluster | :22:05. | :22:09. | |
seizures meaning that he can seizure 20 or 30 times. Have to call | :22:10. | :22:16. | |
ambulances many times and the other children are in the house. It is | :22:17. | :22:20. | |
very scary for them. Rupert will hide under the dining table until | :22:21. | :22:29. | |
the ambulance has left. They both need my attention but I cannot tell | :22:30. | :22:34. | |
myself into. You get to the point where you think, why? I sound so | :22:35. | :22:40. | |
horrible but sometimes you wake up feeling there was no light at the | :22:41. | :22:44. | |
end of the tunnel. It is places like this that come into their own and | :22:45. | :22:51. | |
they help and rescue people like me. I could many a time have just given | :22:52. | :22:56. | |
up and said, I just can't do it any more, but I come down here and they | :22:57. | :23:00. | |
are all willing to listen and not pass judgement. Without this, I | :23:01. | :23:07. | |
would not know what I was doing. He gets to do things that I do not have | :23:08. | :23:12. | |
the time to do sometimes. I cannot take him into a swimming pool, so | :23:13. | :23:17. | |
here, with the hot tub, I can get quality time with him, with music on | :23:18. | :23:23. | |
and I just look at him and cried. I look at my beautiful baby boy and | :23:24. | :23:30. | |
have him so close, it is skin to skin in there and he is weightless. | :23:31. | :23:35. | |
I can hold him so tight and I look into his little eyes and think, what | :23:36. | :23:39. | |
is he thinking? Then the sibling team can bring in the other | :23:40. | :23:44. | |
children, so we can go in as a family. I can't take them swimming | :23:45. | :23:52. | |
properly, so they miss out. They have had to take a step back for | :23:53. | :23:56. | |
Dennis. People say it must be hard for you, but no one knows until you | :23:57. | :24:01. | |
go through it how much time, effort, how much it hits that your heart. To | :24:02. | :24:09. | |
be able to get up every day and give the child what it needs, to allow it | :24:10. | :24:14. | |
to thrive and have a life. That is what this place is all about. | :24:15. | :24:22. | |
Well, that's what it's all about and if you're fundraising again this | :24:23. | :24:26. | |
year, there's still time to get tickets to go along to the Party for | :24:27. | :24:29. | |
Pudsey at the National Maritime Museum Cornwall tomorrow night. Just | :24:30. | :24:32. | |
go to [email protected] ` say how many of you are going along and | :24:33. | :24:41. | |
we'll send you the tickets. Time now for a look at the weather. | :24:42. | :24:47. | |
If you are out raising money for children in need, the weather will | :24:48. | :24:52. | |
be relatively kind, but you will need to wrap up very warm. We have | :24:53. | :24:58. | |
cold days coming up. For tomorrow, less windy and bite and dry. We | :24:59. | :25:01. | |
should get away with a reasonable day tomorrow. Temperatures similar | :25:02. | :25:09. | |
to today. There is cloud coming into the more western parts of the UK | :25:10. | :25:14. | |
today, but the high pressure is with us in one form or another. This is | :25:15. | :25:18. | |
the middle of the day tomorrow and then by the time `` the same time on | :25:19. | :25:23. | |
Saturday, it is still there although much weaker. You can see cloud | :25:24. | :25:28. | |
coming out of Ireland and drifting into Cornwall, but further east we | :25:29. | :25:32. | |
have had a lot of fine weather and sunshine. Earlier today in Newquay, | :25:33. | :25:37. | |
we did have some fine weather but the strength of the wind has whipped | :25:38. | :25:44. | |
up PCs. The waves rippling the coasts of Cornwall and Devon at the | :25:45. | :25:48. | |
moment. Those seeds will gradually calmed down later on tonight and | :25:49. | :25:54. | |
tomorrow. Surfing conditions perhaps a bit better tomorrow. Quite a lot | :25:55. | :25:59. | |
of clout to start with overnight, but with the wind is falling | :26:00. | :26:08. | |
lighter, it will turn frosty. Tomorrow, most of us will wake up | :26:09. | :26:12. | |
with a reasonable start to the day. The exception might be west | :26:13. | :26:15. | |
Cornwall, but for all of us tomorrow I think it is a right, dry day with | :26:16. | :26:20. | |
some sunshine and temperatures similar to today. Through the day, | :26:21. | :26:27. | |
we will see a bit more in the way of cloud across the western parts of | :26:28. | :26:33. | |
Cornwall and, further east we will also see some frost. | :26:34. | :27:01. | |
That brings us to tomorrow evening where we have Pepsi out and about. | :27:02. | :27:11. | |
`` we have Pudsey out and about. It looks like it will be a good | :27:12. | :27:16. | |
evening. Please wrap up warm though as there will be a cold feel to the | :27:17. | :27:21. | |
air by the end of the night. For the weekend outlook, we should have dry, | :27:22. | :27:27. | |
cloudy and misty weather, with next week even colder still. Have a good | :27:28. | :27:36. | |
evening. That is all from us tonight but tomorrow we will be building up | :27:37. | :27:39. | |
to the big fundraising evening for Children in Need. In the meantime, | :27:40. | :27:42. | |
good night. | :27:43. | :27:45. |
