That's all from t`e BBC Fews `t Six. It's 'oodbye from me. | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
Maternal instincts ` politicians clash over how much maternity | :00:09. | :00:11. | |
The mothers returning to work are not very happy and distressdd about | :00:12. | :00:23. | |
that. Honouring our war heroes ` | :00:24. | :00:24. | |

a more fitting memorial in Durope? I do like it in a coffee but it is | :00:28. | :00:30. | |
too rich and fatty. Find out why this has fallen out of | :00:31. | :00:41. | |
favour with islanders in Gudrnsey. Pregnancy can be an anxious time but | :00:42. | :01:18. | |
women in Jersey have added financial worries as there is no legal | :01:19. | :01:22. | |
obligation for employers to pay them for their time off work. Thdy get | :01:23. | :01:29. | |
two weeks wages. After giving birth, two weeks previously, | :01:30. | :01:31. | |
emotionally and physically, a mother will be the key to balance the | :01:32. | :02:56. | |
rights of woman and the needs of the island's businesses. | :02:57. | :02:59. | |
At today's States meeting, members also voted to spend millions | :03:00. | :03:02. | |
of pounds on a new waste water treatment plant. | :03:03. | :03:04. | |
Our reporter Christina Ghidoni was following the debate and johned me | :03:05. | :03:07. | |
Jersey's politicians spent this afternoon talking about plans to | :03:08. | :03:14. | |
spend ?75 million replacing the sewage treatment plant at Bdllozane | :03:15. | :03:17. | |
and update the island's sew`ge system over the next few decades. | :03:18. | :03:22. | |
The plan is by Transport and Technical Services. | :03:23. | :03:28. | |
However the Planning Ministdr Deputy Robert Duhamel said this afternoon | :03:29. | :03:31. | |
in the States that the plans don't fulfil environment principlds the | :03:32. | :03:35. | |
island has signed up to and could be more environmentally friendly. | :03:36. | :03:38. | |
In the end, the plan was passed with just two | :03:39. | :03:42. | |
politicians voting against ht. Interestingly neither | :03:43. | :03:50. | |
of those two were Deputy Duhamel! Also lodged today were proposals to | :03:51. | :03:54. | |
regulate charities under a law which would include | :03:55. | :03:58. | |
a voluntary charities register. Charities would then be overseen | :03:59. | :04:01. | |
by a States funded independdnt Commissioner. | :04:02. | :04:05. | |
But this will be actually ddbated by the States at another sitting | :04:06. | :04:13. | |
After nearly three decades of trading, Quayside in Guernsey | :04:14. | :04:16. | |
The home and leisure store hn St Sampson's will shut next January. | :04:17. | :04:20. | |
The company says it's because the building it occtpies | :04:21. | :04:22. | |
The 25 staff who will lose their jobs were told | :04:23. | :04:26. | |
Jersey's Treasury has confirmed it's in the process of borrowing ?25 | :04:27. | :04:32. | |
It's gone to the financial markets to price the bond. | :04:33. | :04:36. | |
The money will be invested in affordable homes, | :04:37. | :04:38. | |
and will be paid off over the next 40 years at a rate of 3.75%. | :04:39. | :04:43. | |
An apprenticeship scheme for young aspiring fishermen | :04:44. | :04:45. | |
in Guernsey is being critichsed by some local fishermen. | :04:46. | :04:47. | |
The scheme was launched in September last year by the Commerce | :04:48. | :04:50. | |
and Employment department and so far, two islanders are taking part. | :04:51. | :04:53. | |
The fish quay in St Peter Port is the heart | :04:54. | :05:03. | |
of Guernsey's fishing industry, a particularly challenging industry. | :05:04. | :05:06. | |
Buying a boat, rising fuel costs and falling fish prices makd it | :05:07. | :05:09. | |
difficult to earn a living. The government's trying to help | :05:10. | :05:13. | |
by offering under`25s the opportunity to run a small boat for | :05:14. | :05:16. | |
three years as an apprenticdship, before investing in a full licence. | :05:17. | :05:20. | |
So far only one person has been granted a licence | :05:21. | :05:21. | |
and one more has applied. The fishermen didn't want to talk | :05:22. | :05:33. | |
today but felt the scheme isn't working. | :05:34. | :05:34. | |
and one more has applied. The Commerce and Employment | :05:35. | :05:40. | |
Department says the scheme's focused on quality rather than quantity | :05:41. | :05:45. | |
It is for fishermen keen to pursue a career rather than encouraghng as | :05:46. | :05:53. | |
many entries as possible. on quality rather than quantity | :05:54. | :05:57. | |
Most of these boats are owndd by men who've fished for decades. | :05:58. | :06:00. | |
It's now up to younger generations to decide if a career | :06:01. | :06:01. | |
at sea is really one for thdm. Thousands of men from the | :06:02. | :06:14. | |
Channel Islands risked their lives Those that fell are recognised | :06:15. | :06:17. | |
on various monuments across Europe but there is no mark | :06:18. | :06:21. | |
of the overall contributions It was described | :06:22. | :06:29. | |
as the war to end all wars. Thousands of men from the | :06:30. | :06:31. | |
Channel Islands fought for the allies against German Elpire. | :06:32. | :06:35. | |
Many didn't come home. Those that died are remembered at | :06:36. | :06:39. | |
the island's cenotaph as well as on various larger monuments in France. | :06:40. | :06:42. | |
But there is no specific melorial dedicated to | :06:43. | :06:44. | |
the overall contribution thd Channel Islands made anywhere in Europe | :06:45. | :06:46. | |
Historian, Ian, witnessed this when he wrote the first ever book | :06:47. | :06:50. | |
on the Channel Islands involvement in the Great War. | :06:51. | :06:56. | |
Canada and Australia have l`rge memorials commended `` commdmorating | :06:57. | :07:03. | |
a sacrifice and the deeds of the soldiers. The exception is Jersey | :07:04. | :07:08. | |
and Guernsey. Nowhere in Fr`nce and Belgium will you find a memorial | :07:09. | :07:12. | |
that commemorates the soldidrs of Guernsey and Jersey. Nothing says | :07:13. | :07:16. | |
they were here fighting. in the Great War. | :07:17. | :07:20. | |
But now the Vice`Chairman of the Jersey branch of the British Legion | :07:21. | :07:22. | |
is behind efforts to change that. We need to get a team to buhld a | :07:23. | :07:34. | |
memorial. We have to find ott who will fund it, how it will bd funded | :07:35. | :07:40. | |
and there is a lot of things to do. Hopefully, we will start thd ball | :07:41. | :07:44. | |
rolling and find a way of achieving something over the centenarx period. | :07:45. | :07:47. | |
is behind efforts to change that. If this memorial goes ahead, | :07:48. | :07:50. | |
our soldiers who risked thehr lives won't be just remembered in the | :07:51. | :07:51. | |
islands, but also where thex fought. We're told it's full of calcium | :07:52. | :07:58. | |
and minerals but some worry that the humble pint | :07:59. | :08:00. | |
of milk is also full of fat. Well, over the last ten years | :08:01. | :08:04. | |
sales of Red Milk in Guernsdy have Penny Elderfield asks why and | :08:05. | :08:08. | |
what the impact is on the D`iry When it comes to the white stuff, | :08:09. | :08:20. | |
apparently most of us like ht blue. It's Guernsey Dairy's | :08:21. | :08:23. | |
biggest seller. But when it comes to picking | :08:24. | :08:27. | |
between blue, green and red... What's your preference? | :08:28. | :08:30. | |
Over the last decade there's been a real shift away from people | :08:31. | :08:33. | |
buying full fat Guernsey milk. Moving onto some of the healthier | :08:34. | :08:36. | |
options like Green milk. But why are people | :08:37. | :08:37. | |
making that change? I do blue because it is healthier. | :08:38. | :08:54. | |
Why? Blue milk is a bit too rich. I buy this one. It is too rich and | :08:55. | :08:59. | |
fatty. making that change? | :09:00. | :09:09. | |
But sales of Red Milk have dropped by 25% and on the flip side, | :09:10. | :09:13. | |
sales of skimmed green milk are up by 36% as we all watch | :09:14. | :09:14. | |
our waist lines a little more. It shows the more people th`t | :09:15. | :09:31. | |
consume low`fat products, the more cream we have to produce butter with | :09:32. | :09:37. | |
and. Our bottom margins are increasing and our sales of butter | :09:38. | :09:39. | |
are increasing. our waist lines a little more. | :09:40. | :09:42. | |
So as the public try and perhaps loose a few pounds, the | :09:43. | :09:45. | |
change in habits could potentially be making the dairy a few. | :09:46. | :09:49. | |
Just before we take a look at the weather ` many | :09:50. | :09:52. | |
of us might like to tell politicians to get on their bikes and this | :09:53. | :09:56. | |
Seven States Members took a ten minutes trip around St Helier | :09:57. | :10:00. | |
And they want more of us to follow suit. | :10:01. | :10:07. | |
Take encouragement and use xour bike maybe once in the next two weeks. | :10:08. | :10:14. | |
There is a perception at pe`k times that there is a level of congestion | :10:15. | :10:20. | |
which would be nice to improve. This is wonderful. We have only gone a | :10:21. | :10:25. | |
short way but every little bit helps. There is an important is for | :10:26. | :10:31. | |
keeping fit for a healthy body. David, they were on their bhkes Is | :10:32. | :10:35. | |
it going to be good weather for us on our bikes? | :10:36. | :10:42. | |
The temperatures this reallx on the rise. For the most part tomorrow, it | :10:43. | :10:50. | |
is a wet cycle to work. We will have some rain that will slowly clear and | :10:51. | :10:54. | |
it will become brighter in the afternoon. We have this are` of low | :10:55. | :10:59. | |
pressure here. It is moving across southern parts of Britain. Ht is not | :11:00. | :11:03. | |
a fast`moving system and it will take its time before it cle`rs out | :11:04. | :11:08. | |
of the way. We have this arda of low pressure through Thursday and | :11:09. | :11:12. | |
Friday. This will be the engine to draw some warm air from the | :11:13. | :11:15. | |
Mediterranean. It will lift the temperatures. There are also bands | :11:16. | :11:21. | |
of showers and we will have to watch those. Rain overnight tonight, it | :11:22. | :11:27. | |
could be heavy at times. Ovdrnight temperatures staying into double | :11:28. | :11:32. | |
figures. For tomorrow, we h`ve a damp start. Outbreaks of rahn will | :11:33. | :11:39. | |
be off and on for the morning. We will get some sunshine and hf you | :11:40. | :11:45. | |
showers that will follow. A top temperature of 15 Celsius. Here is | :11:46. | :11:50. | |
our coastal waters forecast. Here are our times of high water. | :11:51. | :12:13. | |
For most of our beaches, thd surf is likely to be on the choppy side The | :12:14. | :12:22. | |
outlook is warmer. The self or south`east wind will pick up as we | :12:23. | :12:26. | |
move into Friday bringing hhgher temperatures. `` the self or | :12:27. | :12:36. | |

Glasgow for the Commonwealth Games. The itinerary covers 70 Nathons | :13:41. | :13:43. | |
and Territories and 190,000 km. Plymouth Life Centre hosted | :13:44. | :13:47. | |

though It is really great to be able to see | :14:10. | :14:20. | |
it up close and even see sole of the words on the message. It is great to | :14:21. | :14:24. | |
be a part of it. To carry it for the Commonwealth is a huge honotr and | :14:25. | :14:27. | |
privilege, and I hope that one day I can actually represent Brit`in in | :14:28. | :14:34. | |
the Commonwealth Games and lake my city happy again and my country | :14:35. | :14:38. | |
I think it is a really great experience for hours and I `m proud | :14:39. | :14:42. | |
for it to be implemented. I thought it would be bigger, I did | :14:43. | :14:45. | |
not know it was going to be that size. | :14:46. | :14:50. | |
I think it will be a big evdnt, happening around here. | :14:51. | :14:54. | |
The life centre is synonymots with swimming and there will be five of | :14:55. | :14:58. | |
Plymouth Leander's swimmers at the games in Glasgow, led by a lan who | :14:59. | :15:03. | |
has already proved himself `t Olympic Olympic level. | :15:04. | :15:09. | |
For the baton to come here, trabecular lead to this part of the | :15:10. | :15:13. | |
country, there is no better place than to come to the life centre `` | :15:14. | :15:19. | |
particularly to this part. With the Commonwealth Games coming | :15:20. | :15:22. | |
up, we have international tdams coming to train at the life centre, | :15:23. | :15:26. | |
as well, so it is not only for England, it is world`renowndd now. | :15:27. | :15:31. | |
This is the fourth day of the English leg of the Queen's Baton | :15:32. | :15:34. | |
Relay. There are 50 days to go before the start of the Comlonwealth | :15:35. | :15:38. | |
Games in Glasgow, and these two young ladies enjoyed every single | :15:39. | :15:39. | |
minute of holding the Queen's baton. young ladies enjoyed every single | :15:40. | :15:46. | |
minute of holding the Queen's baton. Meanwhile, a Devon athlete hs hoping | :15:47. | :15:50. | |
to be named in the England team for the Commonwealth Games. | :15:51. | :15:53. | |
Jo Pavey has run the times needed to qualify for the five | :15:54. | :15:56. | |
and ten thousand metres at Glasgow. She's returned to the track only | :15:57. | :15:59. | |
a year after having a baby. Brent Pilnick has the story. | :16:00. | :16:03. | |
She is a little baby with a very busy money. As Emily plays with APPC | :16:04. | :16:14. | |
Daisy, her playmates contemplate the next training session. Jo P`vey has | :16:15. | :16:18. | |
been Britain's leading dist`nce runner for some years and is | :16:19. | :16:21. | |
balancing her nine`month`old daughter with putting in thd miles | :16:22. | :16:24. | |
on the roads of Devon. I did not even know if it would be | :16:25. | :16:28. | |
possible for me to get back to fitness at this age. It seeled a | :16:29. | :16:31. | |
long way back and I was still breast`feeding at the start of | :16:32. | :16:35. | |
April. With the trials for the 10,000 for the Europeans especially | :16:36. | :16:39. | |
at the start of May, it was quite a battle to get fit in time. Ht seemed | :16:40. | :16:44. | |
like I made it at the last linute, so I have been pleasantly strprised | :16:45. | :16:48. | |
and it has been fun being b`ck. This was the last time Jo Pavey put on an | :16:49. | :17:03. | |
international vest, when shd represented Great Britain at the | :17:04. | :17:04. | |
Olympics in 2012. You have to go back eight ydars for | :17:05. | :17:07. | |
the last thing she represented England at the Commonwealth Games, | :17:08. | :17:09. | |
some things she hopes she c`n do again in Glasgow this summer. | :17:10. | :17:12. | |
To actually compete in Great Britain again with the roar of the home | :17:13. | :17:14. | |
crowd, it is something that is really appealing to me, it raises | :17:15. | :17:17. | |
the motivation and makes it even more exciting. It is definitely | :17:18. | :17:20. | |
something I am looking forw`rd to. Could Emily have a mummy who is a | :17:21. | :17:23. | |
medal winner? I guess we will just have two wait and see. | :17:24. | :17:29. | |
Throughout this year on Spotlight, in partnership with | :17:30. | :17:37. | |
Imperial War Museums we ard marking the 100th anniversary | :17:38. | :17:39. | |
of the outbreak of the Great War, and tonight we have the rem`rkable | :17:40. | :17:43. | |
Captain Oscar Greig was shot down by the notorious Red Baron, | :17:44. | :17:47. | |
and was held as a prisoner until the end of the War. | :17:48. | :17:51. | |
He escaped in 1918 and lived out his days on | :17:52. | :17:53. | |
As part of our series, World War One at Home, I've been to meet two | :17:54. | :18:01. | |
people who remember Oscar in later life, including Maggie Clark, | :18:02. | :18:03. | |
There is nothing to compare with the joys of flying. To express joie de | :18:04. | :18:14. | |
vivre to the fullest extent. It is necessary to fly. | :18:15. | :18:27. | |
He was a pioneering pilot, flying fanatic, and the war gave hhm great | :18:28. | :18:32. | |
Where one can perform antics utterly impossible on the ground | :18:33. | :18:41. | |
and amongst scenery of the lost magnificent and majestic be`uty | :18:42. | :18:46. | |
Part of Oscar's role in the early war years was to photograph cloud | :18:47. | :18:52. | |
formations to help other pilots and this album is a collecthon of | :18:53. | :18:55. | |
As well as a prolific photographer, he was an avid author, | :18:56. | :19:07. | |
and the Imperial War Museum in London is now home to his | :19:08. | :19:10. | |
This is the diary he was wrhting in the run`up to the time hd was | :19:11. | :19:20. | |
He says he was in machine 6897, and rights, shot down. | :19:21. | :19:26. | |
He then takes up the story hn his memoirs, and he writes about the | :19:27. | :19:29. | |
He says, there was another burst of fire from my right putting | :19:30. | :19:34. | |
the engine out of action and hitting me on the right ankle, knocking | :19:35. | :19:39. | |
He said, I had no pain in mx foot, only a not unpleasant sensation | :19:40. | :19:47. | |
What strikes me is how polite they remain throughout this orde`l, | :19:48. | :19:54. | |
because he says to his observer once they have crash landed, was he hit? | :19:55. | :19:57. | |
I told him, I got a Blighty one in the foot and | :19:58. | :20:02. | |
At which point he asked me | :20:03. | :20:11. | |
me if we were in Hun land and was not pleased to find that we were. | :20:12. | :20:15. | |
It turns out they were shot down by the notorious Red Baron. | :20:16. | :20:18. | |
And Oscar later discovered a picture showing his plane number, | :20:19. | :20:21. | |
6997, on display in the Red Baron's headquarters. | :20:22. | :20:36. | |
He was held as a prisoner until the end of the war, btt | :20:37. | :20:40. | |
in December 1918, determined to get home for Christmas. | :20:41. | :20:42. | |
And he did, but his experience left its mark. | :20:43. | :20:45. | |
He lived out his days in thhs Devon farmhouse, | :20:46. | :20:47. | |
There were cobwebs hanging in all the rooms. | :20:48. | :20:55. | |
And he had an ancient Hoover, which he never used. | :20:56. | :21:00. | |
In fact, as you walked throtgh the hall | :21:01. | :21:04. | |
you'd leave your footprints in the dust, we always said. | :21:05. | :21:07. | |
I used to make cakes for hil sometimes, I would pop them through | :21:08. | :21:13. | |
the door, because I would ptt lots of eggs in and make sure he was .. | :21:14. | :21:17. | |
Well, this is a landscape that has barely changed since Oscar's day, | :21:18. | :21:30. | |
and I am off to meet Tom Endacott, who farmed in this area when Oscar | :21:31. | :21:33. | |
lived here. What sort of effect do you think the | :21:34. | :21:38. | |
