something that's only been offered to 60`year`olds. Bowel cancdr is the

:00:27.:00:28.

fourth most common form of cancer in Guernsey, with latest figurds

:00:29.:00:31.

showing on average around 42 people diagnosed a year. And it's hoped the

:00:32.:00:34.

expanded screening programmd should improve detection rates. Penny

screening, but from next month, HSSD will be inviting 65`year`olds to

:01:16.:01:22.

come and get tested here too. And the department's keen to stress why

:01:23.:01:26.

if you get a letter in the post you shouldn't just ignore it. All the

:01:27.:01:36.

feedback from patients says it is much less embarrassing than people

:01:41.:01:46.

along to the screening. It really could make a very big difference to

:01:47.:01:49.

your life. It's only becausd the current screening of 60`year`olds

:01:50.:01:52.

should be finished by the stmmer that Health is able to offer it to

:01:53.:01:56.

more people. And work's ongoing to look at how to expand the service

:01:57.:01:58.

look at how to expand the sdrvice further whilst sticking to the

:01:59.:02:05.

annual budget of ?330,000. We need to finalise our negotiations in

:02:06.:02:09.

order to expand the services to two cohorts. But we have the opportunity

:02:10.:02:15.

to expand it into 65 olds in the second part of this year. Concerns

:02:16.:02:17.

about funding and staffing have put this service in the spotlight over

:02:18.:02:21.

the past year. But Health hope this latest development is one that will

:02:22.:02:24.

ultimately just help them s`ve more lives.

:02:36.:02:39.

packaging in the Channel Islands to be different from the UK. The

report, by the Channel Islands competition watchdog, was ordered

following allegations of profiteering by those supplying

does demonstrate that the tobacco market is not as open and

They're known as the Heilsberg 39 ` British prisoners of war who died at

:04:35.:04:37.

the camp where they were held in Poland. Alderney soldier Jales Grier

:04:38.:04:41.

was one of them. Now he and his comrades will be remembered in a new

:04:42.:04:44.

cemetery in the Polish town. Last week we did an appeal for his family

:04:45.:04:47.

so the organisers behind thd burial so the organisers behind the burial

:04:48.:04:50.

could invite them to the official opening. As Emma Chambers rdports,

:04:51.:04:54.

his family got in touch. This is my great uncle James is

:04:55.:05:01.

quite a young man, in his uniform, very proud. She knows very little

:05:02.:05:07.

about her great uncle, one of the 39 British men who died in a prisoner

:05:08.:05:13.

of war camp in Heilsberg in the First World War, a time he write

:05:14.:05:21.

about in his diary. They gave us the same rations as yesterday but still

:05:22.:05:29.

we are unable to eat them. He was proudly looked after by his

:05:30.:05:30.

captors. Dying at the age of 19, he captors. Dying at the age of 19 he

:05:31.:05:40.

had not experienced any life at all. A sad loss, I would say. Like many

:05:41.:05:46.

prisoners of war, James was not given a marked grave. His family

:05:47.:05:49.

given a marked grave. His f`mily have only visited this World War I

:05:50.:05:54.

memorial in Alderney. It is important that these people are

:05:55.:05:59.

remembered and honoured. He is on the war memorial but it is nice that

:06:00.:06:03.

the rest of the world knows it, too. But soon they will be able to

:06:04.:06:07.

commemorate the bravery of their great uncle at this new cemdtery

That is it from me. The weather. Another lovely day and another day

:06:27.:06:36.

with some sunshine and pretty good temperatures. 16 was the top figure.

Probably similar tomorrow, with little change in the weather

in the second half of the weekend. Good evening. The good news is that

it will be a reasonably sunny start to the Easter weekend. The bad news

:07:46.:07:48.

is that it will not stay that way for many of us. Overnight tonight,

many of us will be dry with patchy rain across Scotland. Some of us
