Confidence levels are improving There is still a long way to go and

:00:00.:00:27.

we are not resting on our l`urels. We are working hard.

:00:28.:00:37.

It would be wonderful and it would make all the difference to both of

:00:38.:00:40.

us. The newly married couple who say

:00:41.:00:47.

being sent to two different nursing homes is affecting their he`lth

:00:48.:00:51.

And getting ready for the One Show, the rare creature from Jersdy set

managing to turn around a ddcline Visitor numbers are up 2%

:01:01.:01:04.

so far this year. And today there was

:01:05.:01:10.

a major event aimed at ensuring that trend continues,

:01:11.:01:20.

with tourism representatives This is what Guernsey's

:01:21.:01:21.

trying to sell. They are promoting the island with

:01:22.:01:35.

landscapes and beaches and good food and safety is very important and all

:01:36.:01:38.

of those factors are very ilportant and they just have to be shouted

:01:39.:01:40.

louder. Shouting a bit louder

:01:41.:01:44.

about what the Bailiwick's got to offer, with a captive audience

:01:45.:01:49.

of people whose job it is to help The best way

:01:50.:01:52.

of describing what's going on here Lots of individual 15 minutd

:01:53.:01:56.

appointments, and when the bell rings you move

:01:57.:01:59.

onto the next appointment. And of course Guernsey's hoping

:02:00.:02:02.

it'll be the start of lots It is very important for us to meet

:02:03.:02:13.

up with the operators that bring big `` business to the island and these

:02:14.:02:16.

operators make up a lot of the business that come to Jersex. ``

:02:17.:02:22.

Guernsey. I am keen to be hdre because meeting face`to`facd with

:02:23.:02:25.

people and explaining to thdm what you do and building those

:02:26.:02:26.

relationships is really vit`l. To help build on some signs

:02:27.:02:31.

of growth in the tourism industry We are up 2% and confidence levels

:02:32.:02:41.

are building. We are not resting on our laurels and we work hard to make

:02:42.:02:44.

sure we have a strong and competent evolver.

:02:45.:02:46.

So the figures aren't looking bad so far this year.

:02:47.:02:50.

Although it'll really be next year that people here start to

:02:51.:02:53.

see whether todays meetings made any difference.

:02:54.:03:03.

More news from around the islands now.

:03:04.:03:08.

House prices in Jersey have fallen by around 6%

:03:09.:03:10.

The average price of a thred`bedroom house in the first quarter

:03:11.:03:15.

of this year was the lowest its been for seven years, at ?458,000.

:03:16.:03:18.

The figures released by the government's statisthcs unit

:03:19.:03:20.

show that overall there's bden a 2% fall in property values

:03:21.:03:24.

The figures contrast with those in the UK

:03:25.:03:27.

which show house prices rosd by 8% in the year to the end of M`rch

:03:28.:03:31.

The former Odeon cinema in St Helier could be given the same listed

:03:32.:03:39.

The building was bought by the Freedom Church a couple

:03:40.:03:43.

of years ago who wanted to turn it into a youth and community centre.

:03:44.:03:46.

But Planning authorities have written to church leaders,

:03:47.:03:49.

saying they're considering tpgrading its listed status.

:03:50.:03:50.

The Planning department confirms it is reviewing all listed buildings.

:03:51.:03:53.

There are moves underway to simplify the two`tier taxi system in Jersey.

:03:54.:04:03.

A survey by the Transport Ddpartment showed that people found it hard to

:04:04.:04:06.

tell the difference between rank taxis and private cars.

:04:07.:04:09.

The minister, Deputy Kevin Lewis, says one way

:04:10.:04:11.

of making it easier is to introduce a maximum fare for all journeys

:04:12.:04:14.

He's written to all taxi colpanies in the island asking them to meet

:04:15.:04:18.

A Jersey pensioner who got larried less than two years ago has been

:04:19.:04:22.

placed in a different care home to his wife.

:04:23.:04:26.

John Journeaux is living in Bon Air Court in St Saviour,

:04:27.:04:29.

which is sheltered housing, but his wife is in L'Hermit`ge

:04:30.:04:32.

Mr Journeaux told our reporter Julie Flanagan how

:04:33.:04:36.

Newly`wed John Journeaux has only his wedding photos for comp`ny as

:04:37.:04:40.

his wife, Iris, has been pl`ced in a care home in a different parish.

:04:41.:04:44.

The couple have been married for just 19 months and

:04:45.:04:47.

It is very important to my wife because my wife's health is going

:04:48.:05:01.

down while we are not living together. We are very depressed and

:05:02.:05:04.

we should be together like ` normal married couple, sleeping together

:05:05.:05:05.

and everything. A meeting with Social services

:05:06.:05:09.

about the Journeaux's situation was And he says he's

:05:10.:05:12.

heard nothing since. But the Health Department

:05:13.:05:15.

says that efforts are made In a statement Ian Dyer, thd Head

:05:16.:05:17.

of Older Adults Services sahd.. For John, only one option appeals,

:05:18.:05:44.

cohabitation. I love my wifd. She is gorgeous to me and the best wife in

:05:45.:05:47.

the world to me. I could not wish to have a better wife than what I have

:05:48.:05:49.

got. But for now, he'll keep makhng

:05:50.:05:52.

the daily trip to see his whfe and All privately rented accommodation

:05:53.:05:55.

in Jersey will be regulated in future after the States voted

:05:56.:05:59.

in favour of a minimum standard A register of landlords and rent

:06:00.:06:03.

limits is also being investhgated, Poor living conditions

:06:04.:06:06.

like this prompted the UK to States members today voted for a

:06:07.:06:14.

minimum standard to be established I think it will provide mord

:06:15.:06:33.

safeguards. Currently the shtuation is that someone in a property might

:06:34.:06:36.

not want to complain or feel that they can and they may not know what

:06:37.:06:40.

their rights are and at `` `s things currently stand are no minilum

:06:41.:06:42.

standards. having seen first hand

:06:43.:06:46.

the squalid conditions some families Some houses I would refuse to go

:06:47.:06:58.

into because they are so disgusting. Some are dangerous and

:06:59.:07:02.

yet people are charged rent to live in them, families with children and

:07:03.:07:08.

that is not except a ball. `` acceptable.

:07:09.:07:14.

Today's vote means a formal register of landlords is also on the table,

:07:15.:07:18.

as are rent controls, to lilit the amount tenants can be charged.

:07:19.:07:21.

But the Housing Minister advises caution.

:07:22.:07:23.

I will get good and sound advice on that but my gut feeling is that rent

:07:24.:07:27.

control does not work. The best thing we can do is actually increase

:07:28.:07:29.

supply. With better protection

:07:30.:07:32.

for the private rental sector now agreed, social housing is ndxt

:07:33.:07:34.

according to the minister. It should make living

:07:35.:07:37.

like this a thing of the past, Have you seen any of these

:07:38.:07:40.

around Jersey recently? Well, Jersey is actually thd only

:07:41.:07:47.

place in the British Isles xou can find these green lizards and they're

:07:48.:07:50.

attracting national TV attention. They get their five minutes

:07:51.:07:53.

of fame on tonight's One Show here In all his breeding finery.

:07:54.:08:07.

Absolutely brilliant. A new island for me and a new reptile and a top

:08:08.:08:09.

day. An exciting day

:08:10.:08:12.

for the one show's Mike Dilger, but for Jersey, the green lhzard is

:08:13.:08:14.

something of the norm. And one of the places these green

:08:15.:08:17.

lizards have decided to set up home is here, in Penny Fogarty's

:08:18.1:49:48

back garden in St Brelade. Feared by some,

1:49:491:49:48

misunderstood by others, the green lizard isn't the world's

1:49:491:49:48

most favourite animal, but for Penny it's one of her favourites `nd she

1:49:491:49:48

literally has about 10 of them. They are quite territorial `nd they

1:49:491:49:48

like their sunbathing spots. I know there is one having a Sundaxs at the

1:49:491:49:48

moment in the corner here. Xes, she is there. Shall we have a look?

1:49:491:49:48

The day Penny found her first lizard was a happy one for Penny.

1:49:491:49:48

Excitement. They are so pretty. The mail has this lovely blue on his

1:49:491:49:48

neck but the female is still beautiful but not as beautiful as

1:49:491:49:48

the mail. They are so used to me now they hardly run away if you go past

1:49:491:49:48

them. So why have the lizards

1:49:491:49:48

chosen to live with Penny? Penny has a good garden bec`use she

1:49:491:49:48

is a wildlife garden so she can attract a lot of our rare and unique

1:49:491:49:48

species and the more people that can do the things that Penny dods the

1:49:491:49:48

better. Now nature groups

1:49:491:49:48

in the Island are encouraging people to act like Penny, leave wild areas

1:49:491:49:48

in their gardens and use as little poison as possibld in the

1:49:491:49:48

hope that Jersey's rare wild life And you can see more on the

1:49:491:49:48

green lizards in The One Show starting here on BBC One in

1:49:491:49:48

about 15 minutes' time. Now time for the weather. Today was

1:49:491:49:48

horrible, when it get any bdtter? Yes, it was horrible with hdavy

1:49:491:49:48

showers and we will have more of those tomorrow. There should be

1:49:491:49:48

fewer than perhaps today but there is a thunder risk. If we take a look

1:49:491:49:48

at the satellite picture yot can see some clumps of Cloud circul`ting

1:49:491:49:48

around and they are indicathng where we are seeing the heaviest of those

1:49:491:49:48

showers. It is an issue for everybody. Thanks to this area of

1:49:491:49:48

low pressure that is dominating our web today and tomorrow and hnto the

1:49:491:49:48

beginning of the weekend. Thereafter it will get a bit better. As you can

1:49:491:49:48

see at the moment there is ` clump of showers across us. They `re quite

1:49:491:49:48

intense in places and have brought rumbles of thunder and we sde more

1:49:491:49:48

of the same tonight. There will be persistent spells of rain at times.

1:49:491:49:48

Clear spells around but a mhld picture and it stays in double

1:49:491:49:48

figures. We start tomorrow with a risk of showers from the st`rt. It

1:49:491:49:48

could be that we see more in the way of brightness coming through but the

1:49:491:49:48

detail for tomorrow will be difficult to pin down and I could

1:49:491:49:48

not rule out heavy thundery showers. They will definitely be in the

1:49:491:49:48

vicinity. We could see high is getting up to 16 or 17. Our coastal

1:49:491:49:48

waters forecast. These are not grey conditions for

1:49:491:49:48

our surfers and the waves whll be pretty small. The outlook tomorrow

1:49:491:49:48

brings a risk of heavy showdrs and it continues on Saturday. Bx Sunday

1:49:491:49:48

we could see fewer showers but on bank holiday Monday it will be an

1:49:491:49:48

improving story with it being Briar `` drier and brighter with some

1:49:491:49:48

sunshine. Unsettled now but it will get better.

1:49:491:49:48

That is good to hear. That hs it for now. I will be back with thd

1:49:491:49:48

headlines at 8pm and the News at ten p.m.. I will hand you over shortly

1:49:491:49:48

to Justin and Natalie and the team over at the Devon County show. Good

1:49:491:49:48

night. youngest in the class by a long way,

1:49:491:49:48

so she wants to go back to her mum and have her breakfast now. Although

1:49:491:49:48

Devon farming and food at the heart of the show there is always some way

1:49:491:49:48

`` something that everyone with traders and exhibitors coming far

1:49:491:49:48

and wide. Absolutely, from pasty makers do ice cream sellers to hog

1:49:491:49:48

roast. I'm always thinking of food. Something smells gorgeous though.

1:49:491:49:48

Don't forget the animals, you got poultry, pigs and Andrea has been

1:49:491:49:48

out and about to see what she can find.

1:49:491:49:48

Showtime, daytime at the Devon County show, and the stars `re in

1:49:491:49:48

make`up. Basically I am scrtbbing up the sheep to make them a nice square

1:49:491:49:48

shape and presentable for the judge so when he comes along he won't get

1:49:491:49:48

his hands dirty. This is a pedigree South Devon bull from Newqu`y in

1:49:491:49:48

Cornwall. And we are just gdtting him ready to go to the ring. It will

1:49:491:49:48

be just taking him outside, giving him a brush and a wash and he will

1:49:491:49:48

hopefully look nice in the ring Champion on the sheep lines, so that

1:49:491:49:48

made my day now. This is all the very best of Devon rural life, in

1:49:491:49:48

rain and shine. This year the weather hasn't put us off at all,

1:49:491:49:48

and it's much more enjoyabld. When it is raining, there aren't so many

1:49:491:49:48

people around and it's not jostling, and you can see everything without

1:49:491:49:48

any hassle. So to my mind, rain doesn't put me off at all. Ht

1:49:491:49:48

started off with a typical rain but now we've got the sun, and let's

1:49:491:49:48

hope it lasts for the rest of the day.

1:49:491:49:48

Over the next three days close to 100,000 people are expected to come

1:49:491:49:48

to the Devon County show. Animals truly are at the he`rt of

1:49:491:49:48

the Devon County show, and H'm joined by someone who is showing the

1:49:491:49:48

animals and looking after them and someone who is in charge of a

1:49:491:49:48

particular breed. Steve is here What have we here? This is ` young

1:49:491:49:48

Angora goat born in Februarx, a young boy, so hopefully next year he

1:49:491:49:48

will be coming to the show hn a bigger form. He has lovely lohair

1:49:491:49:48

growing on him. What is the demand for mohair at the moment? The demand

1:49:491:49:48

is really good throughout the world and prices are buoyant. There's a

1:49:491:49:48

lot of manufacturers in Britain wanting British mohair. Things are

1:49:491:49:48

looking up. Claire, you are kept very busy at the show as ond of the

1:49:491:49:48

vets. I work as part of a tdam of vets who provide 24`hour cover from

1:49:491:49:48

the moment the animals enter. We are responsible for everything from

1:49:491:49:48

rabbits, guinea pigs, chickdns, through to horses, sheep and goats.

1:49:491:49:48

What are the most unusual things you have had to deal with. Therd is a

1:49:491:49:48

his ear open last year and we stick his ear open last year and we stick

1:49:491:49:48

it back together. Six sheep, and the ball did get loose in the p`rade,

1:49:491:49:48

and a good team of stewards and vets managed to recapture the ball.

1:49:491:49:48

Caroline, you are showing one of your pigs. Tell us about wonder She

1:49:491:49:48

is a middle white pig, and they are all the minority breeds herd. She's

1:49:491:49:48

nearly two years old and is as big as she is likely to get. Shd is due

1:49:491:49:48

to have another litter in Jtly but we have pigs that were born in

1:49:491:49:48

January right through to thd seniors. She has gone for Rwanda by

1:49:491:49:48

the look of it. She's a little bit hot and board. She took the breed

1:49:491:49:48

champion this morning, so she's being a bit of a diva. The trouble

1:49:491:49:48

with sheep, pigs, cattle, btt particularly pigs, we were trying to

1:49:491:49:48

train pigs to walk with the stick, because the only way is that to

1:49:491:49:48

control them. Sometimes it works and it's wonderful, and other thmes she

1:49:491:49:48

has decided she doesn't want to join us. I hope you all enjoy thd show.

1:49:491:49:48

Thank you all three of you for joining us. Thank you. Some fabulous

1:49:491:49:48

stalwarts there. Did you know that the show is celebrating an

1:49:491:49:48

anniversary this year? It's 25 years since it moved here to Westpoint and

1:49:491:49:48

in that time it's grown to be the spectacle that we see today. In

1:49:491:49:48

those two and a half decades, more than 2.5 million people havd

1:49:491:49:48

visited, and John Henderson has been out and about today to celebrate all

1:49:491:49:48

things silver in honour of the Westpoint anniversary. 25 ydars of

1:49:491:49:48

the Devon County Show at Westpoint, and getting in can still be a slog.

1:49:491:49:48

A bit muddy, but hopefully we will have some good trading later. Hairy

1:49:491:49:48

stuff outside and a close shave on the inside. This would turn is

1:49:491:49:48

trying to avoid injury here and has been for a quarter of a century

1:49:491:49:48

Have you ever catch yourself in 25 years? I pray yellow I have been

1:49:491:49:48

distracted as a pretty girl goes by. The silver anniversary has provided

1:49:491:49:48

sartorial influence for somd. There is a beer that has been brewed for

1:49:491:49:48

the 25 years and I can't relember what it is called. Hi Ho Silver

1:49:491:49:48

yes. Bacca like the 25th anniversary has sown the seeds of an idda for

1:49:491:49:48

those with green fingers. Away from flower power, the show still has

1:49:491:49:48

some new visitors. This is this red setter's first taste of the dog

1:49:491:49:48

show. His first show. She h`s dried food. Only six`month`old. Anything

1:49:491:49:48

else she can find as well. Over the past 25 years, there has

1:49:491:49:48

been lots of job vacation and a chance for men to continue their

1:49:491:49:48

romances with steam. Is that three of you in this relationship? Yes,

1:49:491:49:48

me, the steam engine and thd wife. What better way to celebratd 25

1:49:491:49:48

years of the Devon County Show than with a celebratory beer. Tina, 4

1:49:491:49:48

more of these. Make it snappy. Glad to see he's getting the drinks in.

1:49:491:49:48

We saw some muddy scenes and it was a bit like whether the ducks earlier

1:49:491:49:48

today which is quite apt considering what you been up to. I hear you got

1:49:491:49:48

a flap. Beautifully put. Whx not use all the cliches? What I havd done

1:49:491:49:48

today is learn to herd ducks using a sheepdog. Yes, and I found something

1:49:491:49:48

else I can't do. But I had ` wonderful teacher, a master, all the

1:49:491:49:48

way from West Wales. Tell md, what do I have to learn today? Wd will

1:49:491:49:48

give you a brief opportunitx of working with the border collie. I

1:49:491:49:48

have left the sheep in West Wales, and I've got some Indian Runner

1:49:491:49:48

ducks, and with the four colmands we tried to get them through the tunnel

1:49:491:49:48

and then try to get them back in the trailer. Do you know the secrets of

1:49:491:49:48

working the Glen? You have to give the voice commands in a Welsh

1:49:491:49:48

accent. You didn't tell me that There's lovely! Buy is clockwise,

1:49:491:49:48

away, stand and walk. This hs the shepherd 's crook. An extension to

1:49:491:49:48

your arm. You have to use this to make yourself big. Thereford that

1:49:491:49:48

will help you, so you can look after one side, Glenn on the other. Get

1:49:491:49:48

them slowly through the tunnel and try to make your way into the

1:49:491:49:48

trailer. Stand, by. Go on, the ducks. Use the stick explan`tion not

1:49:491:49:48

hello, darlings. Where is Glenn Through the tunnel, ducks. H'm just

1:49:491:49:48

going to see how Natalie is getting on. I got a few things to hdlp her.

1:49:491:49:48

In, go through. Away. She doesn t seem to be doing very well. Some

1:49:491:49:48

ducks, there we go. Let's sde if that will help. Away. Away. Stand.

1:49:491:49:48

Yes! Good boy. Can I have a case? Does he do kisses? You can try. He

1:49:491:49:48

does, thank you. I can see xou making fun of Natalie. Let's give

1:49:491:49:48

him the chance to see if he's any better. What is he like? Don't touch

1:49:491:49:48

the ducks with this or you will be disqualified. It is an extension to

1:49:491:49:48

your arm. Away. Away. David. Did you see they all went through there

1:49:491:49:48

That was beginners luck. My first prize will go to you, Natalhe, you

1:49:491:49:48

are far better harrier. Well done. They're still going.

1:49:491:49:48

Well, you did a good job thdre, but I think David was cheating ` bit. I

1:49:491:49:48

think he practised with the toy ducks beforehand. Know, all of my

1:49:491:49:48

ducks went through the tunndl. You were taking the Mickey again. Lovely

1:49:491:49:48

weather this morning and thd showers were intense earlier.

1:49:491:49:48

There is a line of showers that are going to approach in the next hour

1:49:491:49:48

or so and we could see some rain here at the showground. The sort of

1:49:491:49:48

temperatures we have seen today have been really mixed. Some places that

1:49:491:49:48

saw the showers had no more than 14 or 15. But with the sun out it has

1:49:491:49:48

been at 18 degrees and it is pretty warm at this time of year btt it's

1:49:491:49:48

acting as a trigger for showers and the showers are the ones th`t we

1:49:491:49:48

have to watch carefully over the next 24 hours or so. There hs a Met

1:49:491:49:48

office warning about showers for this evening and overnight. They

1:49:491:49:48

have not issued a warning for tomorrow but we will have the same

1:49:491:49:48

sort of problem will stop wd are at risk of seeing some heavy showers.

1:49:491:49:48

It's those showers that could be slow moving through the day and

1:49:491:49:48

could cause the same sort of problem at the showground we saw thhs

1:49:491:49:48

morning. Very damp ground and tricky conditions for the cars and vehicles

1:49:491:49:48

trying to get in and out of the car parks. What we are going to see in

1:49:491:49:48

the next 24 hours is a similar story to what we saw today. The showers

1:49:491:49:48

will be mostly in the morning and will brighten up a short whhle. The

1:49:491:49:48

other feature of the weather is for other feature of the weather is for

1:49:491:49:48

18 northerly breeze across parts of Cornwall. It's that northerly breeze

1:49:491:49:48

that will bring the temperatures down. Let's start with the summary

1:49:491:49:48

of what is happening for thd Devon County Show. First we have showers

1:49:491:49:48

and we will see them on and off the next couple of days. Bring `

1:49:491:49:48

waterproof or an umbrella bdcause there will be some showers over the

1:49:491:49:48

next two days. The satellitd picture shows you the extent of the cloud

1:49:491:49:48

which is extensive and it whll continue to produce showers for the

1:49:491:49:48

next few days. It is low prdssure. Doesn't change much by the liddle of

1:49:491:49:48

the day but by the middle of the day on Saturday it's beginning to move

1:49:491:49:48

away and will take its time and is not going to clear until thd end of

1:49:491:49:48

the day on Sunday. A closer look at the picture shows where the showers

1:49:491:49:48

have been in the last hour or so. Some of the showers are still around

1:49:491:49:48

and there is a clutch of showers coming up across the English Channel

1:49:491:49:48

that will arrive along the coast in the next couple of hours. The

1:49:491:49:48

forecast for the evening and overnight tonight is for thd showers

1:49:491:49:48

to continue and if anything they become more widespread and overnight

1:49:491:49:48

temperatures are no lower than 2 or 13 degrees. A muggy, humid feel

1:49:491:49:48

tomorrow. Lots of cloud and showers in the morning but a bit brhghter in

1:49:491:49:48

the afternoon and we could see Sunny spells develop them. But ag`in, the

1:49:491:49:48

risk of showers is always going to be there. Temperatures similar to

1:49:491:49:48

today, 15 or 16, maybe 17. For the Isles of Scilly, morning showers and

1:49:491:49:48

quite a breezy day but we sdrve `` should see sunshine. Onto the times

1:49:491:49:48

of high water at Plymouth. The area of low pressure is right

1:49:491:49:48

over as so the wind is changing direction through the day and the

1:49:491:49:48

showers risk continues. That is the outlook for the rest of the week and

1:49:491:49:48

into the weekend, it does gdt better. The showers are light and

1:49:491:49:48

few on Sunday and hopefully a dry day for bank holiday Monday. Have a

1:49:491:49:48

good evening. Thank you, David and thanks to

1:49:491:49:48

everyone at the Devon Countx Show who have made so welcome. Wd have

1:49:491:49:48

had a lovely day. Tomorrow ht is just in's turn to do a challenge and

1:49:491:49:48

he will be judging a sausagd competition. I am indeed. A serious

1:49:491:49:48

honour and privilege. I will be deciding Devin's tastiest s`usage

1:49:491:49:48

tomorrow. We will leave it ` night with music from Rich Cattell, his

1:49:491:49:48

debut single, whisking away the working day. How appropriatd. From

1:49:491:49:48

Wallasey, good night. `` from all of us here.

When the first travellers crossed America, they were faced with this -

1:49:491:49:48

from snow-capped mountains to arid plains and thick forests.

The very nature of the American personality was defined.
