Good evening. Condor Ferries has That's all from us. | :00:09. | :00:11. | |
Good evening. Condor Ferries has cancelled ferries to and from St | :00:12. | :00:14. | |
Malo for a second day due to industrial action. French crew are | :00:15. | :00:17. | |
employed on contracts under Guernsey law. And they want that to change, | :00:18. | :00:19. | |
as Edward Sault reports. This afternoon, Condor's sailing | :00:20. | :00:32. | |
from Jersey to Guernsey and the UK, but for anyone wanting to sail south | :00:33. | :00:35. | |
to France they'd be disappointed. The crew of the Condor Rapide went | :00:36. | :00:39. | |
on strike in St Malo yesterday, and say they will stay out until they | :00:40. | :00:42. | |
get better pay and conditions. They want their terms to match the French | :00:43. | :00:46. | |
system rather than Guernsey's, where Condor is based. | :00:47. | :00:55. | |
We want to propose to them a provision in the contract that would | :00:56. | :01:06. | |
say that they operate between the UK and France if there is agreement | :01:07. | :01:16. | |
that covers both. It is important that we can be part of the | :01:17. | :01:19. | |
resolution of the conflict. Condor say this action has come as a | :01:20. | :01:22. | |
surprise and have apologised to customers. Bosses say they've got | :01:23. | :01:25. | |
representatives on board the Rapide trying to negotiate a solution with | :01:26. | :01:31. | |
the crew. It would be inappropriate for us to come up with a solution | :01:32. | :01:35. | |
that is not right just for our colleagues, but also make sure the | :01:36. | :01:39. | |
company is viable and to make sure that islanders are protected. The | :01:40. | :01:42. | |
last thing we want to do is have some pressure on fares. We want to | :01:43. | :01:47. | |
make sure that everything we do is the right solution for everybody. | :01:48. | :01:50. | |
Pressure has also been mounting on Guernsey and Jersey's governments to | :01:51. | :01:58. | |
intervene. We hear the Jersey are considering it a night. It's not yet | :01:59. | :02:03. | |
clear how long this dispute will last, but all sailings to St Malo | :02:04. | :02:06. | |
have been cancelled tomorrow. Condor say it's due to adverse weather | :02:07. | :02:09. | |
conditions and nothing to do with the ongoing strike action. | :02:10. | :02:20. | |
There's growing concern about the level of personal debt in Jersey, | :02:21. | :02:25. | |
amid claims the government is ignoring the issue. The island's | :02:26. | :02:28. | |
Citizens Advice Bureau has launched a survey to find out the real scale | :02:29. | :02:31. | |
of the problem. Emma Chambers reports. The stresses and strains | :02:32. | :02:34. | |
debt can bring, causing many people to bury their heads in the sand | :02:35. | :02:38. | |
rather than talking about it. And that's why this survey has been | :02:39. | :02:41. | |
launched. It's been sent out to 4,000 randomly chosen households to | :02:42. | :02:44. | |
find out the state of our personal finances. You don't put your name on | :02:45. | :02:48. | |
it, so it's hoped this anonymity will encourage people to be open | :02:49. | :02:55. | |
about debt worries. It is, I think, a far wider problem, particularly in | :02:56. | :02:59. | |
relation to loans and credit cards. I think the less affluent people | :03:00. | :03:03. | |
there's a growing loan crisis as well. To find out how serious the | :03:04. | :03:08. | |
issue is in the island, Jersey's Consumer Council has teamed up with | :03:09. | :03:11. | |
two local charities that help those with money troubles. This is | :03:12. | :03:16. | |
probably the first time we have worked together in such a concerted | :03:17. | :03:21. | |
way. What we hope is that when we get the survey results, we can drive | :03:22. | :03:24. | |
through the results and get something meaningful out the back of | :03:25. | :03:29. | |
them, and in a way we can focus better on what we are doing and | :03:30. | :03:31. | |
provide a service that is tailored to the needs of the community. One | :03:32. | :03:36. | |
of those services will educate people how to manage their spending. | :03:37. | :03:41. | |
If we can run workshops with people and discuss with them so people | :03:42. | :03:46. | |
don't bury their heads in their sands, and there isn't a stigma | :03:47. | :03:52. | |
attached and we can treat it like a more open subject. It's hoped the | :03:53. | :03:55. | |
survey findings will help people with money problems find a brighter | :03:56. | :03:56. | |
future. Guernsey has already had its wettest | :03:57. | :04:07. | |
February in 35 years. Heavy rainfall led to widespread flooding last | :04:08. | :04:10. | |
night, and the local wildlife is suffering too. Mike Wilkins reports | :04:11. | :04:13. | |
After a night where dozens of Guernsey's roads were flooded, this | :04:14. | :04:16. | |
morning some were still submerged. After a night where dozens | :04:17. | :04:24. | |
I am close to this reservoir, and behind me you can see where the road | :04:25. | :04:31. | |
is still flooded and impassable It's not just the rows that have had | :04:32. | :04:35. | |
a soaking. Water has knocked this church and pre`school out of action | :04:36. | :04:41. | |
for weeks. It's one of those acts of God, if you like, but of course | :04:42. | :04:46. | |
this main hall is a day school for the little bears, and they have had | :04:47. | :04:51. | |
to make alternative arrangements elsewhere. It's like an evacuation. | :04:52. | :04:58. | |
And just down the road another kind of damage was being surveyed, the | :04:59. | :05:06. | |
damage to our wildlife. It's a major concern. We can already say the | :05:07. | :05:10. | |
birds like cormorants, Shanks and maybe a few other species will have | :05:11. | :05:15. | |
already decided that they can't breed this year `` shags. It's only | :05:16. | :05:21. | |
February but that decision will be made for them. They were built to | :05:22. | :05:25. | |
get into condition to last the breeding season, so survival becomes | :05:26. | :05:28. | |
a priority rather than breeding Over at the animal shelter, | :05:29. | :05:31. | |
guillemots are among some of the animals brought in during the | :05:32. | :05:33. | |
storms, including this pigeon called Droopy, who has a broken wing. If | :05:34. | :05:41. | |
anybody does come across an injured animal in Guernsey, Corless at the | :05:42. | :05:47. | |
shelter, or you can pop to the shelter `` call us. There is always | :05:48. | :05:51. | |
somebody here 24 hours per day, seven days a week, and in a vehicle | :05:52. | :05:54. | |
ready to respond. There has been some good news on the wildlife | :05:55. | :06:00. | |
front. Earlier in the week this young dolphin was stranded at | :06:01. | :06:03. | |
Pembroke Bay. Well today I spotted him swimming around Beaucette | :06:04. | :06:06. | |
Marina, where I believe there's a decent supply of fish to keep him | :06:07. | :06:09. | |
going. That's it from me. I'm back on Monday at 6:30pm. Now here's | :06:10. | :06:13. | |
David Braine with news of a wet and windy weekend of weather. Goodnight. | :06:14. | :06:19. | |
Another big storm is heading across the UK over the next 24 hours. We | :06:20. | :06:26. | |
are quite a way away from it, the centre but it will still be windy | :06:27. | :06:31. | |
and this weekend we will continue to see blustery showers, and possible | :06:32. | :06:36. | |
gusts of wind up to 70 mph through Saturday afternoon. The rain we have | :06:37. | :06:39. | |
at the moment is accompanied by gale force southerly winds. It will drop | :06:40. | :06:44. | |
a little bit but it will be a blustery night, and overnight, | :06:45. | :06:48. | |
temperatures down to six degrees. Showers around and a steady increase | :06:49. | :06:52. | |
in the strength of the wind, severe gale force winds are possible, and | :06:53. | :06:57. | |
nine degrees is the top temperature but feeling colder because of the | :06:58. | :07:00. | |
strength of the wind. The forecast as we move into Sunday is that bit | :07:01. | :07:06. | |
quieter. We still expect to see some sharp downpours. A cold day on | :07:07. | :07:09. | |
Sunday with a few hail showers thrown in as well. Quiet on Monday, | :07:10. | :07:14. | |
and yet another big area of low pressure turning up on Tuesday. It's | :07:15. | :07:17. | |
mainly Monday night and Tuesday that we start to see the winds increasing | :07:18. | :07:22. | |
and also some wet weather returning to the island. A lot happening this | :07:23. | :07:29. | |
weekend, but the main strength of wind will be through the day | :07:30. | :07:36. | |
Hello again. Nelson's flag ship HMS victory, was launched in 1765 and | :07:37. | :07:44. | |
you can still see it today in Portsmouth Harbour. But through the | :07:45. | :07:48. | |
whole of that history, you will struggle to find a wetter winter | :07:49. | :07:51. | |
than this one across southern England. Scotland has already been | :07:52. | :07:56. | |
in the record books. Their December was the wettest since standardised | :07:57. | :08:01. | |
records began about 100 years ago. There's plenty more where that came | :08:02. | :08:05. | |
from. Another storm is knocking on the door and will affect the whole | :08:06. | :08:10. | |
of Western Europe, steaming in from the Atlantic. Giving us a steady | :08:11. | :08:13. | |
stream of rain in most | :08:14. | :08:14. |
