Good evening. Welcome to BBC Channel six. On BBC

:00:00.:00:08.

Good evening. Welcome to BBC Channel Islands. Coming up on tonight's

:00:09.:00:13.

programme. Taking flight. Flybe pulls out of Jersey and Guernsey

:00:14.:00:17.

with dozens of job losses. Plus getting creative. Top politicians

:00:18.:00:19.

discuss getting young people into work. It's about building

:00:20.:00:27.

relationships. It's about speaking to people who are operating in that

:00:28.:00:33.

sector. And singing, dancing and a spot of head`shaving for Pudsey! We

:00:34.:00:38.

join all the fun of Children in Need.

:00:39.:00:48.

Flybe has announced it's closing its bases in Guernsey and Jersey with

:00:49.:00:54.

the loss of nearly 50 jobs. It will mean no planes or people will be

:00:55.:00:58.

based in the islands from March next year. The airline hasn't yet

:00:59.:01:01.

clarified what impact there will be on flights. Earlier this year they

:01:02.:01:04.

announced they would stop all flights to Gatwick. Mike Wilkins

:01:05.:01:08.

reports. Despite Flybe's profits increasing, staff numbers will soon

:01:09.:01:13.

be falling. Nationally, the company are cutting 500 jobs, nearly 200 of

:01:14.:01:18.

them are thought to be pilots. Locally, the bases in Guernsey and

:01:19.:01:22.

Jersey will close at the end of March. 35 jobs will be axed in

:01:23.:01:25.

Jersey and 12 in Guernsey. Today the Pilots' union said it's

:01:26.:01:48.

still unclear how island routes will be affected. What I think is that

:01:49.:01:58.

the islands will be covered. I guess, from Southampton and some of

:01:59.:02:04.

the other areas that Flybe fly to, there will be services but, quite

:02:05.:02:10.

what time of day they go, and how frequent, is a matter for the

:02:11.:02:13.

company. Today there is no news on how routes will be affected by this

:02:14.:02:16.

latest announcement. But with what's thought to be nearly 200 fewer

:02:17.:02:19.

pilots, the airline will struggle to service its current schedule. A UK

:02:20.:02:27.

Cabinet Minister has pledged to look again at LVCR in a bid to get

:02:28.:02:31.

islanders back into work. Teresa Villiers was speaking at a

:02:32.:02:34.

conference held in the Channel Islands this week to about youth

:02:35.:02:36.

unemployment. It's the 21st such meeting of the British Irish Council

:02:37.:02:40.

but can these high`level talks help tackle the high level of joblessness

:02:41.:02:43.

among young people in Jersey in Guernsey? Nine political

:02:44.:02:47.

heavyweights bashing around ideas for two days about getting young

:02:48.:02:54.

people working. No knock`out result. But a lot of familiar mood music.

:02:55.:03:03.

The challenges that we face are common across all administrations.

:03:04.:03:05.

They are certainly different in scale but youth unemployment is

:03:06.:03:09.

issue for all of us. Cautiously optimistic was that term around the

:03:10.:03:13.

table today about the economic prospects for the future. But on the

:03:14.:03:17.

big economic issues where Britain could help the Channel Islands, no

:03:18.:03:23.

promises. A big employer in the Channel Islands was our fulfilment

:03:24.:03:27.

industry and your government removed the VAT relief which made it

:03:28.:03:32.

possible. Guernsey is now trying to restore it. Is your government

:03:33.:03:38.

perceptive to that? We will consider seriously any proposal put to us,

:03:39.:03:41.

offering tax advantages, reductions, it's difficult. But I will take on

:03:42.:03:48.

board what you say, and I suppose it will be public considered by the

:03:49.:03:53.

Treasury. So no commitment today for young people but talks have been

:03:54.:03:59.

about jobs for the future in creative industries such as film,

:04:00.:04:05.

television and digital media. It's about building relationships,

:04:06.:04:08.

speaking to people who are operating in that sector. We have got our

:04:09.:04:15.

fibre`optic roll`out, which willing carriage IVT creativity. But it's

:04:16.:04:19.

also about treating traditional industries and make sure they are

:04:20.:04:24.

supported and move into the future. This is the 21st meeting of the

:04:25.:04:29.

British Irish Council. It will take some very creative thinking and

:04:30.:04:32.

decisive action to put any of the shared ideas into policy and

:04:33.:04:37.

practice. An inquest into the death of a cyclist has called for better

:04:38.:04:41.

signage on the road. Paul Channing was killed after coming off his bike

:04:42.:04:45.

and falling under a car on Beaumont Hill in May. Witnesses told the

:04:46.:04:48.

hearing he wouldn't have known there was traffic coming up on a bend. The

:04:49.:04:51.

Deputy Viscount is asking the authorities to look at putting up

:04:52.:04:57.

warning signs on the road. The new day care centre at Jersey Hospice is

:04:58.:05:00.

open. The ?2 million building at Clarkson House has a coffee shop,

:05:01.:05:04.

garden, an arts and crafts area, lounge and treatment rooms. It's

:05:05.:05:07.

called the King's Centre, as a tribute to to the late Jurat Jean

:05:08.:05:10.

King, who was a founder of the charity. We have massage therapy. A

:05:11.:05:22.

hairdresser. What else? Lots of food! Lots of tea and coffee and

:05:23.:05:30.

lunch! It's wonderful. Now, have you got that Friday feeling? Thousands

:05:31.:05:36.

of people around our islands who have spent the day putting the fun

:05:37.:05:40.

into fundraising for Children in Need. We've seen sponsored

:05:41.:05:41.

leg`waxes, record`breaking hot`dog`eating. Street circus acts

:05:42.:05:44.

and lots of singing and dancing around with the famous bear. In a

:05:45.:05:48.

moment, the Jersey highlights, but first Penny Elderfield has a round

:05:49.:05:53.

up from Guernsey. Not the healthiest start to the day, but a tasty one.

:05:54.:06:04.

And helping to fill up the bucket for children in need. A bit of a

:06:05.:06:13.

tradition to come down here and support Children in Need. It's a

:06:14.:06:17.

great cause. The guys have been here early this morning so it is a quick

:06:18.:06:20.

break before they go back to work. They always do they rolls down here

:06:21.:06:24.

for Children in Need, so it's a diversion before work. I've always

:06:25.:06:31.

supported BBC Children in Need. In the old days, I used to answer the

:06:32.:06:34.

phones, which was good fun. And fun was really the word of the day. With

:06:35.:06:42.

schools around the island in party mode.

:06:43.:06:50.

With Malteser eating competitions. VIP appearances. And some crazy

:06:51.:07:02.

hairstyles. We crimped it last night and then we backcombed it this

:07:03.:07:08.

morning and dyed it. Do you like having crazy hair at school? Yes,

:07:09.:07:15.

it's fun and unusual, too. From crazy hair. To no hair. And some

:07:16.:07:17.

more painful ways of raising cash. When we got to the back of the legs,

:07:18.:07:32.

it started hurting so I don't think I will do it again. First and last,

:07:33.:07:37.

I think. I was in a meeting and I had been put up by eight people

:07:38.:07:42.

saying, thank you bring much for doing it, and I was not in a

:07:43.:07:47.

position to say no. So lots of ways of raising, hopefully, a lot of

:07:48.:07:48.

money for Children in Need. Meanwhile, in Jersey. We're doing a

:07:49.:08:03.

cake sale, so the children are making cakes all week and we are

:08:04.:08:06.

ringing the teddy bears for a picnic and we have learned the Pudsey song.

:08:07.:08:12.

We tried to tell them what Pudsey does to raise money for children not

:08:13.:08:16.

as fortunate as them, and some children don't have lovely toys to

:08:17.:08:20.

play with, so they are excited about helping children not as well off as

:08:21.:08:25.

them. BBC Jersey took over the radio station today, and attempted a hot

:08:26.:08:31.

dog eating contest. And, not very successfully. The BBC team had a go

:08:32.:08:42.

at slack lining, with passers`by giving a donation. Local businesses

:08:43.:08:50.

were busy raising money in their own way. The branch staff have had a

:08:51.:09:01.

fantastic time organising verse, and really taking part, they have

:09:02.:09:06.

dressed up as children, and all sorts of guises. They have been

:09:07.:09:11.

baking cakes to sell to the clients. Donations for a raffle, and we have

:09:12.:09:15.

had a baby competition in respect of spot the baby in the photos. All day

:09:16.:09:21.

we have been inviting members to do a onesie work`out and throughout the

:09:22.:09:26.

day, every hour, we have selected a different challenge. Yes, I have had

:09:27.:09:36.

to come pleat all of them so far, so that's been pretty tiring but fun,

:09:37.:09:41.

as well `` complete. A big thank you to everyone who has donated so far.

:09:42.:09:47.

You really are heroes. Well done to everyone who was given the time and

:09:48.:09:51.

money for Children in Need. Much more coming up later. Time now for a

:09:52.:09:53.

look at the weather. Good evening. Whatever you are

:09:54.:10:01.

doing, I think the weather will be relatively kind across the island.

:10:02.:10:07.

There is a chance of a fairly low temperature overnight tonight. The

:10:08.:10:12.

wind will fall light and the temperatures will be well into

:10:13.:10:15.

single figures, but it gives us a reasonable day tomorrow. Fine and

:10:16.:10:19.

dry and cloudy at times. Briefly some sunshine in the middle of the

:10:20.:10:23.

day. Some cloud floating past in the last couple of hours, but, for the

:10:24.:10:28.

most part, enough clear sky tonight to get the temperature is fairly

:10:29.:10:32.

low. High pressure in charge, not changing through the weekend. This

:10:33.:10:36.

weather system will bring rain but not until Monday before it gets to

:10:37.:10:41.

us. It's across the Midlands on Sunday, and then slowly sinking

:10:42.:10:45.

southwards during Sunday night and Monday. Overnight tonight, we have a

:10:46.:10:48.

rift north`easterly breeze which will have the temperatures

:10:49.:10:55.

plummeting to 5`6. Easterly wind tomorrow. Fairly light. A lot of

:10:56.:11:02.

cloud. Briefly in the day, sunny spells but it won't last. A lighter

:11:03.:11:09.

wind than recently. 11 degrees, the maximum temperature. There is the

:11:10.:11:18.

coastal waters forecast. Times of high water.

:11:19.:11:30.

Now let's look further ahead because there is a big change coming our way

:11:31.:11:36.

as we move into next week. Sunday, rather cloudy and a similar weather

:11:37.:11:39.

pattern. Monday, cloudy without rakes of rain much later in the day

:11:40.:11:45.

and then showers developing on Tuesday. And from Tuesday, very much

:11:46.:11:51.

colder air arriving and we could see that a frost developing on Tuesday

:11:52.:11:55.

and Wednesday. Have a nice weekend. That's it from the BBC in the

:11:56.:11:59.

Channel Islands. Time to join our Spotlight colleagues for their

:12:00.:12:05.

Children in Need special. . Here's James and Rebecca.

:12:06.:12:16.

studio tonight. It is time to start the count down to this evening's

:12:17.:12:22.

fundraising Party For Pudsey. Rebecca Will is in Falmouth along

:12:23.:12:25.

with BBC Radio Cornwall's James Churchfield.

:12:26.:12:30.

Welcome to the National Maritime Museum borrower Party For Pudsey. So

:12:31.:12:32.

many people gathered for this wonderful occasion. The party has

:12:33.:12:39.

already started. There are hundreds of people with us. Let us give you a

:12:40.:12:44.

quick tour of what will be your home for the next few hours. Pudsey is

:12:45.:12:49.

already making himself at home. You can see some of the people that have

:12:50.:12:53.

come along to the party. Ie looking forward to it? `` are you looking

:12:54.:13:07.

forward to it? ALL: Yes! We have our fundraisers here. People

:13:08.:13:11.

who have been doing amazing things. We will hear from some of them a

:13:12.:13:16.

little bit later on. And we have very amazing Children In Need

:13:17.:13:22.

choir. 200 voices will be joining with over 1500 other singers in the

:13:23.:13:26.

main Children In Need programmes singing a very special song. We have

:13:27.:13:31.

heard it in rehearsal this afternoon. We will have a taster,

:13:32.:13:37.

you will not want to miss it. You have been filling out all of the

:13:38.:13:40.

stops fundraising right across the region. Some wonderful and wacky

:13:41.:13:46.

things have been happening. Let us find out what you have been doing

:13:47.:13:54.

across the South West. It is fortunate that we have Children In

:13:55.:13:58.

Need day today, so I can wear my usual attire!

:13:59.:14:13.

I cannot quite believe I am doing this. This is crazy! # Everybody's

:14:14.:14:53.

got a dream. # What do you say, are we making history? # We are only

:14:54.:15:02.

young is we seize the night. # Tonight we own the night. # Tonight

:15:03.:15:17.

we own the night. Writes now she is raising money by

:15:18.:15:18.

being a goalkeeper for charity. # I got something to say.

:15:19.:15:43.

# May your hearts be full of your dreams tonight.

:15:44.:15:51.

# May we sing and dance tiil we lose our minds.

:15:52.:16:02.

# We are only young if we seize the night, tonight we own the night.

:16:03.:16:16.

It's all four a good cause, isn't it!

:16:17.:16:25.

Every year we are astounded by the links that you go to to raise money

:16:26.:16:29.

for children in need. To everyone, we give you a very hearty thank you.

:16:30.:16:33.

If you have raised money, if you have given money. It really will

:16:34.:16:37.

make a difference to the lives of children here in the South West.

:16:38.:16:45.

None more so than the call. She uses a children's hospice in the region.

:16:46.:16:53.

Her mum tells us the story. Nicole is born `` Nicole was born as

:16:54.:17:07.

a normal child, but then we discovered she had a rear syndrome.

:17:08.:17:14.

She is just Nicole. She just does not speak. The most often question I

:17:15.:17:20.

get is, how do you know when she is annoyed? You just know. She does not

:17:21.:17:25.

really display pane, she does not smile, but we just embrace her.

:17:26.:17:33.

She's our little girl and we all love her. All of the children love

:17:34.:17:39.

her. People do not realise that nobody else can look after these

:17:40.:17:43.

children. They have got such specific needs. Everything has to be

:17:44.:17:48.

done right, there is no room for errors. This is what these places

:17:49.:17:53.

are for. There is nobody else they are out of ours who you can phone to

:17:54.:18:00.

say, I am in a mess. Can you help? Of course we can help. The children

:18:01.:18:05.

think it is a big holiday once they get here. The sibling team are

:18:06.:18:09.

brilliant. You cannot ask for a better people. She is treated as a

:18:10.:18:15.

normal person here. None of the children staying at her, and it is

:18:16.:18:19.

nice to see the siblings all playing together. And they are all relaxed.

:18:20.:18:26.

They are all happy. But ultimately you know that it is not going to

:18:27.:18:36.

have a happy ending. So we now know we can come here with her child when

:18:37.:18:41.

that happens. When that happens, we can come here, spend our last time

:18:42.:18:46.

together in a place that is happy and with the sibling team, most

:18:47.:18:51.

importantly, that can support the call's siblings, because they are

:18:52.:18:55.

the most important. `` Nicole's siblings. Getting them to deal with

:18:56.:19:00.

what is going to happen. That reason alone is why these places should be

:19:01.:19:09.

here. I think they are amazing places because when you come in you

:19:10.:19:14.

do not know that any of that is there, you do not know that sad is

:19:15.:19:20.

happening here. People always say, can we help you? This is how you can

:19:21.:19:25.

help us. You can donate. That is how you can help. That is the difference

:19:26.:19:34.

your fundraising makes for Children In Need, helping people like

:19:35.:19:38.

Nicole's family, making a real difference to their lives. We have

:19:39.:19:44.

some checks here, plenty of people out and about. Where are you from

:19:45.:19:50.

and what have you done? We are dressed up in Wix, `` in wigs and

:19:51.:20:07.

Wellington boots. ?868.11. How did you read that? We had peak sales,

:20:08.:20:17.

face painting. We also had the staff in stocks. I bet that was fun! This

:20:18.:20:33.

is 1500 p from B and Q in Cornwall. We have had raffles, cake sales, all

:20:34.:20:45.

of the staff in fancy dress. You get depressed Pudsey's stomach. Nothing

:20:46.:20:55.

has happened! Never mind. Well done to everybody, fabulous effort for

:20:56.:21:00.

fundraising for Children In Need. I'm here with very amazing

:21:01.:21:03.

children's choir. You looking forward to your singing this

:21:04.:21:11.

evening? I probably better not get them to scream to lately because

:21:12.:21:14.

they will lose their voices. Is this your first time saying with a big

:21:15.:21:20.

choir like this? It is one of my first time is doing this live on TV.

:21:21.:21:26.

How much preparation has there been? There have been a lot of

:21:27.:21:29.

rehearsals today, it has been quite tough. But it is all for a good

:21:30.:21:37.

cause. What is it been due to be taking part? It is a really good

:21:38.:21:42.

cause and I am so pleased to be supporting it. I am so glad that it

:21:43.:21:48.

is going to be on TV. Last year it was the third highest point that

:21:49.:21:53.

people paid money out. You will really make a difference, I am sure.

:21:54.:22:02.

How does it make you feel to be here with so many young people? It makes

:22:03.:22:05.

me really happy that we may be helping lots of people. Did you have

:22:06.:22:12.

to be coerced into taking part, as a boy? I really wanted to do it,

:22:13.:22:21.

because I love singing. What does it mean to you to take part? It means a

:22:22.:22:25.

lot to me, because I am really excited. It really is something very

:22:26.:22:31.

special. Make sure you join us for that. Now back to the studio to take

:22:32.:22:34.

a look at the weather. I did make a promise to Pudsey that

:22:35.:22:52.

I would start with Barmouth. `` Falmouth. Although we have a cover

:22:53.:22:58.

of cloud now, by midnight or just after we're going to get

:22:59.:23:00.

temperatures fairly close to freezing. For the next few days we

:23:01.:23:05.

have a fairly quiet spell of weather, it is mainly dry. Some

:23:06.:23:09.

frost and fog around and then turning very much colder next week.

:23:10.:23:13.

Quite a big change for those drops in temperatures. There is the

:23:14.:23:17.

satellite picture from earlier today. That cloud will thin and

:23:18.:23:24.

break earlier today. `` later on. For much of the weekend, we do have

:23:25.:23:29.

a weather system that comes in from the north`west, but that would be a

:23:30.:23:33.

slow progress towards us. Not really arriving until probably overnight

:23:34.:23:40.

and into Monday. He wrote the details. A lot of clear sky to the

:23:41.:23:47.

Easter bus. `` a lot of clear sky to the east of us. PHONE RINGS.

:23:48.:24:01.

I am very sorry, it is my phone. Pudsey, I am doing a live broadcast.

:24:02.:24:06.

Yes, but the book bit silly. I did promise. OK. I made Pudsey a

:24:07.:24:12.

promise, so I'm going to have to wear them. That's better, isn't it?

:24:13.:24:19.

Anyway. Let us get on with the forecast. I mention the clearing

:24:20.:24:24.

skies. They will get clearer later, as a result it will be cold. Quite

:24:25.:24:30.

widespread tonight. It will develop across parts of East Devon. The

:24:31.:24:36.

source of temperatures we can expect a freebie close to freezing for most

:24:37.:24:39.

of the South of England. Through the day tomorrow, a lot of sunshine.

:24:40.:24:46.

Gradually clouding over as the cloud comes and later in the afternoon.

:24:47.:24:50.

That means that we will probably not see a frost tonight, but we will see

:24:51.:24:59.

temperatures of ten or 11 degrees. They are quite fetching, and they!

:25:00.:25:11.

He wrote the times of high water. `` you are. The winds are late through

:25:12.:25:26.

this weekend. Expect a breeze becoming variable. Mainly fear

:25:27.:25:30.

conditions and generally good visibility out to sea. They are

:25:31.:25:43.

laughing your socks off! Let us look at the forecast into the start of

:25:44.:25:48.

next week. A lot of clout that may produce some spots of rain. We are

:25:49.:25:52.

still into the relatively mild earbud look at the drop in

:25:53.:25:56.

temperatures into Tuesday. `` mild air. Let us go back to Falmouth and

:25:57.:26:06.

the National Maritime Museum. I like those years. Perhaps they

:26:07.:26:11.

should become a permanent feature. Plenty more to come. Make sure that

:26:12.:26:19.

you join us later. We will leave you with our amazing choir. Have a great

:26:20.:26:21.

evening. Join us later. # Some words they can spoken only
