Good evening. Storm force winds are That's all from us. | :00:00. | :00:14. | |
Good evening. Storm force winds are again battering the Channel Islands | :00:15. | :00:18. | |
tonight, with gusts of up to 70 miles an hour predicted. Hi tides | :00:19. | :00:28. | |
are already crashing over the sea walls. The East Coast road is | :00:29. | :00:38. | |
closed. In Jersey motorists are advised to stay off the roads. A | :00:39. | :00:43. | |
number of trees are down on roads around the islands. Condor Ferries | :00:44. | :00:46. | |
has already announced that tomorrow's passenger and freight | :00:47. | :00:48. | |
services are cancelled. Aurigny has suspended flights to and from | :00:49. | :00:56. | |
Alderney because of gales. Jen Smith reports. | :00:57. | :01:05. | |
This sea wall looked very different yesterday. Roy and Yvonne Bullen in | :01:06. | :01:14. | |
Jersey had this to contend with after a wave swept into their | :01:15. | :01:21. | |
Grouville home. It swept into our sitting room. | :01:22. | :01:24. | |
In Guernsey, the busy east coast roads were open again today after | :01:25. | :01:27. | |
yesterday's flooding, but parts of the west coast are still impassable. | :01:28. | :01:36. | |
Depending on what happens tomorrow morning with the tide, there is a | :01:37. | :01:42. | |
new flood warning out for moral and we could be back to square one. And | :01:43. | :01:46. | |
the problems aren't just on land. Condor has cancelled sailings of the | :01:47. | :01:49. | |
Commodore Clipper and Goodwill freight and passenger ferries | :01:50. | :01:52. | |
because of predictions of waves over eight metres, and winds of over 50 | :01:53. | :01:56. | |
knots. And there could be more bad weather to come. Looking at the | :01:57. | :02:05. | |
forecast for the next few days, we are still seeing unsettled | :02:06. | :02:12. | |
veterans. And further wind. `` passions. I think that will persist | :02:13. | :02:19. | |
into next week as well. Islanders are being advised to stay indoors | :02:20. | :02:21. | |
tonight. Those vulnerable to flooding will hope authorities have | :02:22. | :02:27. | |
done enough to keep nature at bay. Nominations closed this evening for | :02:28. | :02:30. | |
position of deputies in St Helier Districts One and Two. At the Town | :02:31. | :02:33. | |
Hall earlier, five candidates have put themselves forward for District | :02:34. | :02:37. | |
One, four for District Two. Two by`elections were called after the | :02:38. | :02:40. | |
resignation of deputies Shona and Trevor Pitman. Both polls will be | :02:41. | :02:44. | |
held on Wednesday the fifth of March. | :02:45. | :02:48. | |
Condor Ferries has signed a new five year agreement with Jersey's | :02:49. | :02:51. | |
Government. The States had intended to tender for the service along with | :02:52. | :02:54. | |
Guernsey, but is now allowing Condor to continue to provide ferry and | :02:55. | :02:57. | |
freight services to the Channel Islands. The company wants to buy a | :02:58. | :03:02. | |
bigger fast ferry to replace two ageing vessels used on the UK route. | :03:03. | :03:06. | |
Alderney's Gambling Commission is taking steps to combat illegal | :03:07. | :03:09. | |
betting during the Winter Olympics. The AGCC has signed a memorandum of | :03:10. | :03:12. | |
understanding with the International Olympics Committee to alert each | :03:13. | :03:15. | |
other to suspicious betting patterns. The island is a hub for | :03:16. | :03:21. | |
online gambling companies. The games in Sochi in Russia get under way on | :03:22. | :03:26. | |
Friday amidst tight security. A Jersey travel company is calling | :03:27. | :03:29. | |
for more Government representation at overseas trade events. They | :03:30. | :03:32. | |
believe more promotion is given to the finance sector than their own, | :03:33. | :03:35. | |
just days after the island's Treasury Minister returned from a | :03:36. | :03:39. | |
finance event in London. Emma Chambers reports. | :03:40. | :03:53. | |
What can you find? Places to unwind. Places to explore. | :03:54. | :03:56. | |
A fresh advert for 2014 showing the island in all its glory. But it s in | :03:57. | :04:01. | |
the cold months ` like today when the beaches are empty ` that news of | :04:02. | :04:04. | |
another visit by a Jersey minister to a finance event in London doesn't | :04:05. | :04:08. | |
go down well with local travel companies. Robert wants the tourism | :04:09. | :04:12. | |
industry to receive the same government representation he says | :04:13. | :04:19. | |
the finance industry is getting I think day`to`day management is done | :04:20. | :04:24. | |
to ourselves and our other industry partners. But what I'm talking about | :04:25. | :04:31. | |
is visible of government coming along to events like exhibitions and | :04:32. | :04:37. | |
trade shows in Europe and the UK, lending their support to the | :04:38. | :04:40. | |
industry and helping them of the message. It just reinforces the | :04:41. | :04:45. | |
message that we are trying to get across. The Minister under fire says | :04:46. | :04:48. | |
that message is being put across through the finance sector. | :04:49. | :04:54. | |
Finance does get a lot of promotion. But finance and tourism | :04:55. | :05:02. | |
are interlinked. They both need each other. The hospitality sector needs | :05:03. | :05:10. | |
to ask for help. We will help in any way we can. Jersey's government say | :05:11. | :05:15. | |
they invest more in tourism than financial services, so is the island | :05:16. | :05:19. | |
being sold well enough to those in the UK? We asked people in Hull | :05:20. | :05:23. | |
today if they'd ever consider a holiday to Jersey. I have never been | :05:24. | :05:32. | |
there. Probably, if I got the opportunity. Not too fussed. I | :05:33. | :05:37. | |
would. So mixed reaction in visiting our | :05:38. | :05:40. | |
shoreline. But in a better light there are suggestions UK tourism is | :05:41. | :05:44. | |
up by nearly 4%, and hopefully Jersey can ride off the back of that | :05:45. | :05:50. | |
wave. Meanwhile, a London university is | :05:51. | :05:54. | |
arranging a trip to Jersey for the first time, so its students can | :05:55. | :06:01. | |
learn about tourism. We are bringing 35 students to Jersey for four days | :06:02. | :06:07. | |
to find out about all that is going on in terms of tourism there. Food | :06:08. | :06:12. | |
tourism, sports tourism, heritage tourism. Jersey has a rich heritage | :06:13. | :06:19. | |
as a tourism destination. It is fascinating for students to see how | :06:20. | :06:25. | |
it all holds together. That is all from me. Join us tomorrow morning. | :06:26. | :06:35. | |
The weather next. The weather is going to stay in the | :06:36. | :06:40. | |
headlines for quite a few days to come. Some strong gusts of wind at | :06:41. | :06:45. | |
the moment. It is the strength of wind combined with the high tide | :06:46. | :06:51. | |
that gives us the risk of coastal flooding first thing tomorrow | :06:52. | :06:56. | |
morning. We have seen showers through the night so far. That will | :06:57. | :07:01. | |
be replaced with some quite heavy showers. The wind slowly becoming | :07:02. | :07:08. | |
more south`westerly. For tomorrow the showers keep on coming. | :07:09. | :07:13. | |
Gradually the wind will drop through the day but it will take its time. | :07:14. | :07:20. | |
Ferry cancellations are likely. Stay tuned to your local radio station | :07:21. | :07:25. | |
for more information. For the next few days the rain does not let up. | :07:26. | :07:29. | |
In a minute the forecast for United for every day, including into the | :07:30. | :07:31. | |
weekend. That is all from the Good evening. Much like the local | :07:32. | :07:42. | |
forecast, the national picture is a stormy one in the next 24 hours The | :07:43. | :07:46. | |
Met Office have issued an amber weather warning for strong winds | :07:47. | :07:50. | |
across southern counties. Wilts up to Surrey in particular. There will | :07:51. | :07:54. | |
be some transport disruption, no doubt, and it could go beyond that, | :07:55. | :07:58. | |
so if you're travelling across the country there could be transport and | :07:59. | :08:02. | |
power disruption and with more rain in the forecast, further flooding | :08:03. | :08:05. | |
where areas have flooded and some very strong winds and high seas | :08:06. | :08:09. | |
