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.

are World War I veterans from the Channel Islands owdd

:00:25.:00:27.

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

privilege, and I hope that one day I can actually represent Brit`in in

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

for it to be implemented. I thought it would be bigger, I did

not know it was going to be that size.

I think it will be a big evdnt, happening around here.

The life centre is synonymots with swimming and there will be five of

Plymouth Leander's swimmers at the games in Glasgow, led by a lan who

has already proved himself `t Olympic Olympic level.

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,

as well, so it is not only for England, it is world`renowndd now.

This is the fourth day of the English leg of the Queen's Baton

minute of holding the Queen's baton. young ladies enjoyed every single

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.

First World War and being a prisoner of war had on Oscar later in life?

:21:39.:21:42.

It left him certainly very nervous. He did not like barbed wire being

:21:43.:21:45.

used anywhere on the farm. One of the things was leaving his door open

:21:46.:21:53.

always, that was just I think a fear of being shut in, locked up.

:21:54.:21:59.

Canny about his flying exploits He used to fly about three liles

:22:00.:22:03.

from here. Just above where I was living here,

:22:04.:23:56.

Here is the causal waters forecast, north`westerly four or five

:23:57.:27:12.

tomorrow, especially through the afternoon.

:27:13.:27:16.

`` coastal waters forecast. The temperatures are on the rise.

:27:17.:27:21.

Note how the temperatures climb up to 19, possibly 20 Celsius by the

:27:22.:27:24.

weekend but also an increashng risk of seeing some heavy showers

:27:25.:27:28.

develop, especially overnight Friday night and into Saturday.

:27:29.:27:31.

That is all from me, have a good evening.

:27:32.:27:36.

Another county sure, we will be ready for anything the weather has

:27:37.:27:38.

to throw at us! Come rain or shine, we will be

:27:39.:27:40.

there. That is all from us, we will be back

:27:41.:27:45.

with you tomorrow, from all of us here, good night.

:27:46.:27:47.
