Good evening. Tonight, paid parking That's all from us. Now gn BBC

:00:00.:00:14.

Good evening. Tonight, paid parking is a step closer in Guernsex ` and

:00:15.:00:18.

the proposal for a free bus service is out. Guernsey States rejdcted the

:00:19.:00:21.

official transport strategy, during a long day of debate, inste`d

:00:22.:00:25.

favouring a minority report aimed at reducing car usage. It means

:00:26.:00:29.

Deputies have supported the idea of paid parking in St Peter Port. The

:00:30.:00:35.

idea was that would help pax for free buses, but now members have

:00:36.:00:38.

also supported moves to charge people for that service. Thd debate

:00:39.:00:41.

will continue tomorrow, as Penny Elderfield reports. Free parking ` a

:00:42.:00:50.

little perk of living in Gudrnsey. But one you may have to say goodbye

:00:51.:00:54.

to. At least in long term spaces in Town, because the States today

:00:55.:01:01.

supported introducing paid parking. The debate will continue tolorrow,

:01:02.:01:04.

but as it stands it'll cost 60p an hour for long term spaces in St

:01:05.:01:08.

Peter Port's main car parks. And to park in the short stay areas you'll

:01:09.:01:12.

have to purchase a parking clock for ?16 each year. A new CO2 and width

:01:13.:01:16.

tax when a car's first registered is also being introduced. All `imed at

:01:17.:01:19.

getting people out their cars, and on to these... Because that will be

:01:20.:01:32.

one of the new perks. Deputhes agreed that the fare should be fixed

:01:33.:01:40.

at 60p per journey. If we go back several years, bus ridership was 1.6

:01:41.:01:43.

million. Now we're looking `t ? and ?1 bus fares. Any increase or

:01:44.:01:47.

imposition of the fare on a new strategy is something that does make

:01:48.:01:50.

any potential new strategy hs very vulnerable. The debate will continue

:01:51.:01:54.

tomorrow, but with the idea of bus fares back on the table, whdther the

:01:55.:01:57.

States will agree to the new strategy now is uncertain. Jersey's

:01:58.:02:06.

politicians have approved a policy to cap the amount of people moving

:02:07.:02:10.

to the island for work to ctrb the growing population of the island.

:02:11.:02:18.

The idea ` which split the States Chamber ` will limit migrathon to

:02:19.:02:21.

325 people this year and next, while a longer term plan is made. We have

:02:22.:02:28.

brought forward a number of 325 It keeps the working population at a

:02:29.:02:32.

level which copes with the `geing population. It keeps the working

:02:33.:02:37.

population at a constant level so that was why we focus on th`t number

:02:38.:02:45.

originally. Guernsey's Anglhcan Dean is retiring this summer. Thd Very

:02:46.:02:49.

Reverend Canon Paul Mellor has been a dean for 41 years and has been in

:02:50.:02:53.

the island for the last 11 xears. Guernsey'S Daisy Chain pre`school

:02:54.:02:56.

will close due to a lack of long`term funding. It provides a

:02:57.:02:59.

free service to children referred there by Health and Social Services

:03:00.:03:02.

` but is funded entirely by donations. It will close in July. An

:03:03.:03:05.

EU scheme designed to protect food names could see special protected

:03:06.:03:08.

status for Jersey milk` but not necessarily from cows in thd island.

:03:09.:03:12.

At the moment products for sale labelled as Jersey can be m`de only

:03:13.:03:19.

partly from the breed's milk. Now a UK Jersey cattle society has applied

:03:20.:03:22.

for Traditional Speciality Guarenteed status ` which would

:03:23.:03:25.

apply to milk from pedigree Jersey cows, even if it does not come from

:03:26.:03:28.

the island. Our reporter Sophie Sulehria has the details. The Jersey

:03:29.:03:36.

Cow ` known for its creamy, delicious milk. Its taste is as

:03:37.:03:41.

distinctive as the animal itself. But there's concern that sole dairy

:03:42.:03:44.

products labelled as "Jersex" may only contain a fraction of lilk from

:03:45.:03:48.

the breed. Which is why the The UK Jersey Dairy Association wants the

:03:49.:03:58.

name to be protected. It will mean that wherever of the products come

:03:59.:04:01.

from, they will be identifi`ble as from Pedigree Jersey cows, `nd so

:04:02.:04:04.

consumers, when they come on holiday, or if they are in `nother

:04:05.:04:08.

part of the country and PCB product, they will have the confidence to

:04:09.:04:12.

know exactly where the prodtct comes from. But will consumers understand

:04:13.:04:19.

what the designation actually means? Not everyone is confident. H think

:04:20.:04:24.

it is hugely confusing. There is very clear evidence from various

:04:25.:04:27.

projects that have been dond in the UK in the last ten years. The vast

:04:28.:04:35.

majority of the consumers in the UK, when they read a product as Channel

:04:36.:04:38.

Islands cream or Jersey butter or Jersey yoghurt or something like

:04:39.:04:41.

Jersey ice cream, they genuhnely think that product comes from

:04:42.:04:45.

Jersey, when it doesn't. Th`t is wrong. Jersey Dairy says it's

:04:46.:04:51.

broadly supportive of the application, but feel a bredd

:04:52.:04:53.

certification scheme would `chieve the same aim more quickly, `nd would

:04:54.:04:57.

be more easily understood. Ht uses the Genuine Jersey mark to show its

:04:58.:05:02.

produce is from the island. The Island's famous Black Butter is also

:05:03.:05:08.

applying for protected statts. The preserve is being considered for

:05:09.:05:10.

protected Geographical Indication, which means it could only bd

:05:11.:05:21.

produced in the island. Well tonight Defra say that they couldn't comment

:05:22.:05:24.

on concerns that consumers lay be confused by the status, but they did

:05:25.:05:27.

say the label Traditional Speciality Guaranteed makes it clear there is

:05:28.:05:38.

no geographical element involved. And you can hear more on thhs,

:05:39.:05:41.

including an interview with the UK's food minister, on BBC Radio Jersey

:05:42.:05:44.

with Matthew Price tomorrow morning from 6am. A man who assisted slave

:05:45.:05:48.

workers in Jersey during thd second world war will lay a wreath for for

:05:49.:05:52.

them on Liberation Day next. Bob Le Sueur will commemorate all hslanders

:05:53.:05:55.

who assisted slave workers during Occupation. The tribute will be paid

:05:56.:05:58.

at the Slave Workers Memori`l at Westmount in St Helier. These people

:05:59.:06:04.

took great of risk. And it wasn t easy, opening your home to `nother

:06:05.:06:10.

individual at a time of gre`t food shortage, apart from the risk of

:06:11.:06:19.

being arrested. That is the news tonight. Newsnight is starthng on

:06:20.:06:26.

BBC Two. I will leave you whth the weather

:06:27.:06:30.

good evening. We have some good weather to look forward to, heading

:06:31.:06:37.

into the holiday weekend. Tomorrow will be a bit disappointing but a

:06:38.:06:43.

few spots of rain. And some mist, first thing in the morning. We have

:06:44.:06:49.

some cloud across as, briefly, for the second half of the night. Then

:06:50.:06:56.

when we get some clear skies, that low cloud and mist all just fill in

:06:57.:06:59.

the gaps so that it becomes quite extensive by morning. Through the

:07:00.:07:04.

day there's a chance of somd brighter weather but not a great

:07:05.:07:08.

deal of that. Also the chance of a few showers turning up, verx light

:07:09.:07:12.

and fleeting and temperaturds of 14 Celsius. But it does get better The

:07:13.:07:19.

weekend forecast is very promising. Some cloud on Saturday mornhng but

:07:20.:07:22.

apart from that temperatures I the up and we should see some stnshine

:07:23.:07:28.

as well. From us, it is good night, and I will leave you with a summary.

:07:29.:07:31.

on th!t `t t(e loee.t, t`at there will "e qome suns`i.e `rgu.d.

:07:32.:07:33.

on th!t `t t(e loee.t, t`at there will be some sunshine around. More

:07:34.:07:40.

on that in the national forecast. Our weather is taking a turn for the

:07:41.:07:45.

colder. You would be forgiven for thinking that does not bode well for

:07:46.:07:50.

the Bank Holiday Weekend. But as we go through the weekend, temperatures

:07:51.:07:53.

will be performing a U-turn, and recovering, as we will see. England

:07:54.:07:58.

and Wales has borne the brunt of some heavy downpours, with still

:07:59.:08:02.

some lively show is out there at the moment. But they are fading. Clearer

:08:03.:08:10.

skies in Scotland, so here, some spots will get close to freezing if

:08:11.:08:15.

not below tonight. But a better day on the

:08:16.:08:16.
