The Channel Islands investigator urges an investigation into JT.

:00:24.:00:32.

Could Jersey join Guernsey hn the English league? A former football

:00:33.:00:49.

boss hopes to follow in the Green Lions footsteps, and swapping the

:00:50.:00:51.

calculator for the clapperboard ` why two finance experts havd ditched

:00:52.:01:00.

the day job, to follow their dream. An urgent investigation has been

:01:01.:01:03.

launched into the telecoms operator JT by the Channel Island's

:01:04.:01:13.

competition regulator. The company operates across both bailiwhcks but

:01:14.:01:16.

it was a promotional offer for faster broadband in Jersey that

:01:17.:01:19.

sparked the investigation. Ht offered customers what seemdd to be

:01:20.:01:23.

a good rate provision` but `fter 18 months automatically moved them to a

:01:24.:01:25.

more expensive product. The promotion angered their competitors

:01:26.:01:28.

who say they don't have a ldvel playing field. Emma Chambers

:01:29.:01:33.

reports. Internet in Jersey is about to get a lot faster. All JT

:01:34.:01:42.

customers across the island will be upgraded to 20`meg broadband next

:01:43.:01:45.

month.Those currently on thd 2`meg service ` the slowest` have been

:01:46.:01:48.

offered the faster speed at the same price they are currently paxing for

:01:49.:01:56.

the next 18 months. Sounds like a good deal, doesn't it? Fastdr

:01:57.:02:09.

internet at a lower price. But this promotion has outraged some

:02:10.:02:11.

customers ` as they will be automatically charged the ftll price

:02:12.:02:15.

of ?22.99 a month after the 18`month promotion. Even if they don't want

:02:16.:02:18.

it. We have to use of taxpaxers money wisely. If other oper`tors do

:02:19.:02:23.

not like what we do they will complain to the regulatory

:02:24.:02:28.

authority. And that is exactly what's happened. Sure and Ndwtel are

:02:29.:02:32.

JT's competitors but also their customers as they buy the broadband

:02:33.:02:37.

from JT. They say this promotion is anti`competitive, as they provide an

:02:38.:02:41.

unlimited service whereas JT won't. They do not give their customers any

:02:42.:02:46.

grasp of intelligence. The customers only find out that is not ?22 9

:02:47.:02:54.

when they start using the sdrvice. The competition authority h`ve now

:02:55.:02:57.

launched an investigation ` and have a few of their own concerns. The

:02:58.:03:03.

risk as they will not be better off. The other risk is that

:03:04.:03:10.

competitors are in a position where they will struggle to offer this

:03:11.:03:15.

product unless something ch`nges in Tam ` `` cams of what is av`ilable.

:03:16.:03:40.

Well,this story sparked a lot of comment on the BBC's social media

:03:41.:03:44.

pages. Andy Jarvis says, "JT should be fined and forced to compdte in a

:03:45.:03:52.

landline market." Melanie Ltce says, "I'd like to see JT kick thdmselves

:03:53.:03:56.

up the rear end and offer a truly competitive service to all. " Keely

:03:57.:04:07.

Hegarty wants to see ministdrs get involved` she says, "Someond should

:04:08.:04:11.

be held accountable ` this hs a States owned company wherebx we are

:04:12.:04:15.

all paying for it anyway". Charlie Francs says, "You can't blale them,

:04:16.:04:19.

they have had the monopoly far too long! " Well, as always we would

:04:31.:04:35.

whose police car crashed and overturned in Jersey yesterday

:04:36.:04:37.

morning has been released from hospital. The 38`year old`officer `

:04:38.:04:41.

who hasn't been named was t`ken to the emergency department after this

:04:42.:04:44.

crash first thing on Tuesdax. He was later admitted. The officer wasn't

:04:45.:04:47.

responding to an emergency call at the time of the crash and an

:04:48.:04:50.

investigation is underway. Guernsey Electricity's in the final stages of

:04:51.:04:53.

putting together its case for another cable link to the island ` a

:04:54.:04:57.

project that will cost betwden 60 million and ?80 million. Thd company

:04:58.:05:00.

says it'll make the supply from France more secure, and mean it s

:05:01.:05:03.

less reliant on the power station which is a more expensive option.

:05:04.:05:07.

But the cost of the new cable is something customers will have to

:05:08.:05:10.

foot the bill for. We are vdry mindful of affordability and we

:05:11.:05:12.

always look at the impact on customers and generally see that if

:05:13.:05:15.

it creates too high an incrdase in tariffs we cannot afford thd

:05:16.:05:17.

investment. The Mediterrane`n sunshine is a step closer whth the

:05:18.:05:20.

launch today of direct flights from Jersey to Majorca. FlyDirect, which

:05:21.:05:23.

is part of the Channel Islands Travel Group, is running wedkly

:05:24.:05:26.

flights until the end of September and passengers were offered paella,

:05:27.:05:29.

sangria and a bit of entert`inment before the maiden flight. The new

:05:30.:05:33.

route means it'll take just two hours to reach Majorca from Jersey.

:05:34.:05:40.

First it was Jersey Royals ` now the Dorset cows whose milk's behng made

:05:41.:06:05.

into vodka. Strachey and for that. ``Stay tuned for that. Formdr Jersey

:06:06.:06:08.

Football Club manager Craig Culkin has announced his plans to set up

:06:09.:06:12.

new team to play in the English Football League. He resigned as

:06:13.:06:15.

Jersey's manager after the hsland's defeat against Guernsey in the

:06:16.:06:18.

Murratti two weeks ago. Now Culkin says he's on a mission to sdt up the

:06:19.:06:22.

league club similar to the Green Lions... How it will be dond I am

:06:23.:06:25.

not too sure. It will take ` lot of financial backing. But just how

:06:26.:06:32.

realistic is for Jersey to kick off a career in the league? Chrhs

:06:33.:06:36.

Harrison's been taking a look at the difficulties on` and off thd pitch.

:06:37.:06:39.

Can Jersey take on teams in the English leagues? Ex`Island lanager

:06:40.:06:50.

Craig Culkin seems to think so. And the Jersey Football Association are

:06:51.:06:55.

right behind him and his drdam. It looks to be actually to club that

:06:56.:07:01.

has a strong passion and iddntity and go through from five and six and

:07:02.:07:16.

seven through to the adult game As well as passion, you need c`sh. It's

:07:17.:07:20.

estimated that the club would need at least 250,000 a year to support

:07:21.:07:24.

itself. Finance is one of the most important challenges facing smaller

:07:25.:07:28.

teams. You are probably looking at play a Budget of ?15,000 to ?20 000

:07:29.:07:35.

for the Conference Leak Sidd. You also have the cost of travel. ``

:07:36.:07:56.

Conference League South. Gudrnsey FC was set up four years ago, `nd have

:07:57.:08:00.

seen nothing but success ye`r after year in English leagues. But they

:08:01.:08:03.

too had to overcome challenges. We had to create a new club and a new

:08:04.:08:07.

image and working with a lot of professional people in diffdrent

:08:08.:08:17.

areas. But If Jersey do follow Guernsey's lead, there are concerns

:08:18.:08:21.

it could damage grass roots. If you take the best players out of any

:08:22.:08:25.

league, the standard will drop. But everything will find its level. The

:08:26.:08:30.

bigger question is whether ht is good for Jersey football ard not. ``

:08:31.:08:44.

or not. In the coming weeks Craig Culkin will be assessing all

:08:45.:08:47.

possibilities for the new club. Will Guernsey have a successful sister

:08:48.:08:51.

island? We will have to wait to see. Let's hope they don't score an own

:08:52.:08:55.

goal with this one. Now how's this for a career change ` a man and

:08:56.:08:58.

woman from Jersey have swapped their computers for clapperboards `

:08:59.:09:01.

leaving the world of financd for the world of television. Claire O'Brien

:09:02.:09:05.

and Chris Hobbs have producdd a new series of television progralmes

:09:06.:09:07.

aimed at teaching young children history ` and you could soon see

:09:08.:09:11.

their work on BBC's Children's Channel. Louise Walter takes up

:09:12.:09:14.

their story It's not quite what you'd expect from two islanders

:09:15.:09:17.

trained in tax and accountancy but Claire O'Brien ` seen here with the

:09:18.:09:20.

clapperboard and Chris Hobbs ` wearing the rather fetching flying

:09:21.:09:23.

jacket ` have left the high`flying world of finance and embarkdd on

minutes, one continuous shot giving you an overview on the history of

pair admit it was quite a g`mble. It is great to have their count as a

:09:54.:09:56.

qualification behind me so now I feel and strong position to set up

rest. `` a bit of a risk. Btt is seems it's a gamble that's payinng

off. History Bomb's new fill launches tomorrow ` and those behind

:10:32.:10:35.

this project hope it will go from strength to strength. A fin`l panel

:10:36.:10:47.

of the Bayeux Tapestry created by a community project in Alderndy is to

:10:48.:10:50.

be celebrated in a special collection of stamps` themsdlves

:10:51.:10:55.

made from fabric. The famous embroidery shows the Norman conquest

:10:56.:10:58.

of England. More than 400 pdople, including the Prince of Walds and

:10:59.:11:01.

the Duchess of Cornwall, sthtched the ten`foot panel. The stalps are

:11:02.:11:04.

believed to be first in Europe to be printed on cotton. You can tse them

:11:05.:11:06.

for postage if you really there is a lot of cloud and it is

:11:07.:11:20.

looking gloomy to us from the South. There is a risk of some

:11:21.:11:26.

thundery rain tonight and some flashes of lightning and sole

:11:27.:11:30.

torrential downpours of rain but tomorrow will be a warm and humid

:11:31.:11:36.

day with the risk of showers. There is a brief chance of sunshine.

:11:37.:11:42.

Expect more of those showers to come and the area of low pressurd moves

:11:43.:11:49.

just a bit north over the ndxt 4 hours. Because the vortex is so

:11:50.:11:53.

close to us that is every chance we will see some sharp showers. It is a

:11:54.:11:59.

sticky and humid night to come tonight and we will have th`t

:12:00.:12:03.

thickening cloud coming up from the south to produce outbreaks of rain.

:12:04.:12:09.

Later in the night that rain in the small hours of the morning will give

:12:10.:12:13.

heavy bursts of rain which will Peter wrote ``peter out tow`rds

:12:14.:12:30.

morning. Tomorrow there will be showers of rain but also sunny

:12:31.:12:34.

spells. The showers will be frequent in the first half of the dax. Our

:12:35.:12:41.

temperatures will be 16 degrees are 17 degrees. The temperatures for the

:12:42.:12:51.

coastal waters will be around 1 degrees. Here are the times of high

:12:52.:13:06.

water. Not much for people who go surfing and there will be a humid

:13:07.:13:09.

feel over the next few days but some of the showers could really be quite

:13:10.:13:11.

heavy. I hope you can join me with the news

:13:12.:13:17.

at ten. I am a professional big wavd surfer

:13:18.:14:59.

and you have to have a high level of fitness for that in situations that

:15:00.:15:05.

could destroy you so you have to be ready to go into that situation and

:15:06.:15:10.

I knew it would be harder than any big wave session I had gone into

:15:11.:15:14.

before. I did not realise qtite how hard it was going to be so ly

:15:15.:15:21.

training was not that existdnce I get five and a half hours on the

:15:22.:15:27.

board and emotions came and flooded into my mind which I have ndver had

:15:28.:15:33.

in any other challenge. What prompted you to keep going? Just the

:15:34.:15:38.

fact that I am able to do something like this. I am healthy and fit and

:15:39.:15:46.

everything is working and why not do something and challenge mysdlf to do

:15:47.:15:53.

something extraordinary? Wh`t was the toughest bit? To be hondst, is

:15:54.:16:09.

the Mac my cardio fitness fdlt OK but it was my back, just behind my

:16:10.:16:16.

shoulders and below my neck, that point was properly burning `nd I

:16:17.:16:19.

could not get comfy for the last two hours. I was going from lying down

:16:20.:16:26.

to jumping up on my knees and trying to mix up the muscle groups that

:16:27.:16:31.

were in use so that was the worst part. All these years you h`ve been

:16:32.:16:38.

harbouring a desire for this competition to take place. What do

:16:39.:16:42.

you hope will develop in thd snow? Having done it, I feel we h`ve

:16:43.:16:47.

established something quite special. The crossing has bden made

:16:48.:16:51.

a few times with a kayak and things like that but never like thhs. They

:16:52.:16:58.

run this event in Hawaii for various borders and for Hawaiian canoes so I

:16:59.:17:03.

want to be able to run in a full`blown international. Wdather

:17:04.:17:08.

Tom will do it next year, I am not sure, but we will have the top panel

:17:09.:17:15.

borders and we have had enqtiries asking of people can competd in this

:17:16.:17:23.

next year. I look forward to seeing how it develops next year. Thank you

:17:24.:17:29.

for coming in today. Hundreds of teenagers have shown off thdir

:17:30.:17:32.

skills in the South West disability athletics championship. It hs one of

:17:33.:17:44.

the biggest days of the year for those athletes. A chance to test

:17:45.:17:48.

themselves in competition, whatever their disability. It is Project

:17:49.:18:00.

ability. It is great to see a flat extracts being used, partictlarly

:18:01.:18:04.

for people with real cheers and physical disabilities. This

:18:05.:18:19.

17`year`old fits the bill pdrfectly. He is a sprinter who has lost all

:18:20.:18:26.

movement in his left arm but it is thought he will make the Grdat

:18:27.:18:29.

Britain Paralympic team. what they thought. It was ftn. Wish

:18:30.:19:07.

they could do it more. What do you think it does

:19:08.:19:26.

It has been great today and I have enjoyed it and had so much fun.

:19:27.:19:29.

There was some promising athletes and this event can help thel to be

:19:30.:19:43.

an international Paralympian. A drink usually made out of grain but

:19:44.:19:49.

a Dorset farmer is making vodka purely from milk. He is the first

:19:50.:19:51.

sprayeded in curds and Way `nd the curds make cheese and the whey uses

:19:52.:21:21.

the sugar to make alcohol. @nd that makes a beer that is distilled. What

:21:22.:21:27.

happens at this stage? The lilk gets turned into the cheese, into the

:21:28.:21:33.

Cheddar. And then the rest of it goes as Whey and we pick up the

:21:34.:21:38.

parts we need to make the vodka Can you say any more? I could do, but I

:21:39.:21:43.

would have to shoot you aftdr wards. The result is a clear liquid. So the

:21:44.:21:53.

test is in the tasting. Havd a good! I know you won't be disappohnted.

:21:54.:22:07.

It's actually incredible smooth Cheers. How many have you h`d of

:22:08.:22:14.

these today? Well you've had three! I've only had two! I don't think we

:22:15.:22:20.

will be seeing her for a whhle! This week is the Chelsea Flower Show

:22:21.:22:27.

and for many gardeners, it's the equivalent

:22:28.:22:30.

of the Horticultural Oscars. But sadly not all

the exhibitors were lucky enough to Spotlight's Janine Jansen's been

:22:32.:22:34.

from the experience. It's not just flowers here

a Silver Gild. Their stand showcases

:22:52.:22:58.

101 plants from China. On the stand we have got a huge

:22:59.:23:08.

number of species glas were collected in China about a hundred

:23:09.:23:12.

years ago. People don't realise the majority of plants they see in their

:23:13.:23:16.

garden and they think are English are not English, but come from China

and our stand is trying to remind them of the wealth of plant material

interested in something a bht different. So a yellow courgette

:23:50.:23:56.

instead of a green one. Next year we will have a purple carrot.

:23:57.:24:16.

will have a Tim Penrose from

:24:18.:24:21.

He took two silver gilds and a silver flora.

:24:22.:24:24.

It is like the Oscars. It is when your peers say you're brillhant and

:24:25.:24:30.

I love that. It is a huge challenge to get everything set up, to have it

:24:31.:24:33.

perfect for when the Queen comes and yeah, it is an accolade and

it only inspires them to trx even That is the Chelsea flower show Now

:24:50.:24:58.

our attention is turning to the Devon County Show. We will be there

:24:59.:25:02.

tomorrow. How is the weather looking? It could be better We have

:25:03.:25:08.

showers and perhaps one village could get a down pour and another

:25:09.:25:12.

gets sunshine. So we will gdt some sunshine, but some showers will be

:25:13.:25:18.

heavy. Our main concern is ` line of thundery rain tonight. Betwden and

:25:19.:25:22.

3 in the morning there could be some tremendous down pours and the odd

:25:23.:25:28.

flash of lightning and rumble of thunder. It is an overnight feature,

:25:29.:25:34.

but some of the rain quite hntense. For the forecast for all of us

:25:35.:25:39.

tomorrow, expect showers, accusely thunder. Briefly we might gdt some

:25:40.:25:41.

sunshine in between the showers That is the forecast for thd Devon

:25:42.:25:46.

County Show. Showers on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. But evdry now

:25:47.:25:52.

and then an hour of fine we`ther. That is the satellite, showhng the

:25:53.:25:57.

lumps of cloud that are comhng out of northern Spain and Francd. That

:25:58.:26:01.

is the area of low pressure and the weather system that will produce

:26:02.:26:04.

some heavy rain tonight. But by the time we are around tomorrow, much of

:26:05.:26:09.

the heavy rain has moved north and we're left with the centre of low

:26:10.:26:15.

close by. Some of the showers will still be heavy. Already we can see

:26:16.:26:21.

the thicker cloud across thd other side of the channel, drifting into

:26:22.:26:25.

south`east England. It will come west tonight and join up with

:26:26.:26:28.

another band of rain that is coming out of the Channel Islands `nd

:26:29.:26:32.

heading north. Certainly by the small hours, some of the rahn quite

:26:33.:26:37.

heavy. A risk of thunder and lightning too. A mild night with

:26:38.:26:43.

temperatures around 13. Tomorrow wet to start with in the north of Devon,

:26:44.:26:47.

but many of us starting the day OK with sunshine. But quick thhnk

:26:48.:26:51.

showers will bubble up. Verx difficult to say who will sde them

:26:52.:26:55.

and who won't A top temperature of 17 degrees. For the Isles of Scilly

:26:56.:27:03.

some sunny spells in the afternoon. Times of high water:

:27:04.:27:10.

For surfers, the surf is only one or two feet and mostly clean. For the

:27:11.:27:19.

coastal waters the winds ard all over the place, cyclonic force four.

:27:20.:27:26.

That is the forecast as we head into the weekend. The better of the two

:27:27.:27:35.

days will be Sunday. Thank xou. You had better have your wellies. I

:27:36.:27:39.

always do. Take everything with me. Join them tomorrow on BBC1. Until

:27:40.:27:42.

then have a good evening. that is to find that one item

:27:43.:27:56.

that's going to change their life. Flames are beautiful. Made

:27:57.:28:01.

nice money, that did. Nice money. ?200,000?
