Good evening. at the

:00:00.:00:09.

Jersey's Royal Court has he`rd that money worries led a man to stab

:00:10.:00:13.

his business partner three times leaving him in intensive care.

:00:14.:00:16.

Neil William Bennett denies grave and criminal assault in September

:00:17.:00:19.

Jen Smith reports on the first day of his tri`l.

:00:20.:00:24.

Arriving at court charged whth grave and criminal assault.

:00:25.:00:28.

The accused, Neil Benett, sden here with the blue tie, denies stabbing

:00:29.:00:32.

On the opening day of this trial the jury's heard that Neil Bennett

:00:33.:00:38.

and the victim Justin Sumrid were in business together running this

:00:39.:00:41.

The court went on to hear that Mr Sumrie, who lives in the UK, was

:00:42.:00:50.

The Prosecution alleges after an evening drinking

:00:51.:00:53.

Mr Bennett, in his own home, stabbed Mr Sumrie with a kicthen

:00:54.:00:57.

knife as they were discussing the shop they ran together.

:00:58.:00:59.

The court heard that Mr Bennett was worried about keeping up with his

:01:00.:01:03.

rent payments on the White Collar shop in Broad Street and was keen to

:01:04.:01:07.

get hold of ?3,600 that the victim had withdrawn and had with him.

:01:08.:01:12.

It's claimed the victim fought back in ddfence,

:01:13.:01:15.

punching Mr Bennett before running outside and collapsing

:01:16.:01:18.

but the defence says Mr Sumrie attacked Mr Bennett and acctses

:01:19.:01:22.

Mr Sumrie of lying about cl`ims how much Mr Bennett had drunk.

:01:23.:01:27.

Advocate Michael Preston asked Mr Sumrie, if Mr Bennett was

:01:28.:01:30.

so drunk why were you having a business discussion with him?

:01:31.:01:34.

Advocate Preston argued that the victim Justin Sumrie had been

:01:35.:01:38.

having money and marriage problems and had been using the Jersdy shop

:01:39.:01:41.

to commit VAT fraud, ordering cufflinks worth ?3,000 each before

:01:42.:01:44.

Neil Bennett denies the charges and the trial is expected to last

:01:45.:01:52.

The man who died in an industrial accident in

:01:53.:02:00.

St Helier yesterday has been named as 62`year`old Georges Le M`istre.

:02:01.:02:03.

The accident happened on Upper Midvale Road yesterday afternoon

:02:04.:02:06.

and Mr Le Maistre was found dead when emergency services arrhved

:02:07.:02:10.

Jersey Police and the Health and Safety Executive are investhgating.

:02:11.:02:15.

The owners and managers of some of Jersey's biggest shops m`y have

:02:16.:02:19.

to work all Sundays if changes to proposals for Sunday

:02:20.:02:21.

Deputy Andrew Green wants a seven`day opening trial alended

:02:22.:02:25.

so that bigger shops can only open on Sundays if the owner is

:02:26.:02:29.

He wants senior company members to evaluate the success

:02:30.:02:34.

of the trial and the impact on workers if it goes ahead.

:02:35.:02:38.

Condor Ferries says it needs to know by the end of the month

:02:39.:02:42.

if its contract to serve thd Channel Islands will be extdnded.

:02:43.:02:45.

The company wants to invest ?50 million in a new larger,

:02:46.:02:48.

faster ferry, but wants the States of Guernsey and Jersey to approve

:02:49.:02:51.

an service agreement before it makes the financial commitmdnt.

:02:52.:02:53.

The chair of Guernsey's external transport

:02:54.:02:57.

group says no decision has xet been made but he can see the bendfits.

:02:58.:03:07.

I certainly do not recognisd feeling any deadlines in that sense. What

:03:08.:03:13.

has been happening in the l`st year is an awful lot of work between both

:03:14.:03:20.

islands and Condor to explore this acquisition of the new largd vessel

:03:21.:03:25.

which would be great news for the Channel Islands ferry services but

:03:26.:03:29.

it is a matter for Condor to conflict commercial negotiations.

:03:30.:03:36.

From tomorrow, tourists in Guernsey will pay the same fare

:03:37.:03:39.

The Environment Department hs scrapping its controversial ?2

:03:40.:03:43.

charge for visitors, and will revert to a ?1 fard for

:03:44.:03:46.

Or if you're local, make that one ?1.

:03:47.:03:50.

A two tier bus fare that for some went too far.

:03:51.:03:53.

I feel really ashamed of wh`t we are doing to our visitors.

:03:54.:04:04.

And leaving some visitors disgruntled.

:04:05.:04:09.

But back then the alternative to keep the buses going, was for

:04:10.:04:19.

From tomorrow though it's b`ck to a ?1 fare for all.

:04:20.:04:23.

It will cost Environment ?100,0 0 over the next nine months.

:04:24.:04:26.

But, admitting it was a mistake it says now the States have agreed

:04:27.:04:30.

a new transport strategy, including a free bus servicd

:04:31.:04:32.

eventually, it's a mistake they can now do something about.

:04:33.:04:39.

The principal reason was to remove the perceived unfairness and it

:04:40.:04:44.

would encourage people to travel on the bus as the fair is being halved

:04:45.:04:50.

for all visitors coming to the island. CT Plus have had

:04:51.:04:54.

difficulties themselves, it has been difficult for the drivers to force

:04:55.:04:57.

the room so they are pleased to see it go as well.

:04:58.:05:02.

And it's good news for thosd who've been fielding complaints from

:05:03.:05:05.

Generally that was the thing we had the most complaints about. Ht was

:05:06.:05:13.

the money and the loss of around the island route. Particularly for those

:05:14.:05:16.

hotels and self catering establishments, they are sthll

:05:17.:05:20.

getting a huge amount of colplaints that we do not have that rotte

:05:21.:05:21.

anymore. So one problem fixed,

:05:22.:05:24.

but another one to consider, as the States work out what bus

:05:25.:05:26.

service the island needs in future. Sport finally and

:05:27.:05:31.

Guernsey's Heather Watson h`s had a bad start to her grass cotrt

:05:32.:05:33.

season , losing her first round Watson won the first set

:05:34.:05:37.

and got to match point in the second before her canadian

:05:38.:05:41.

opponent Aleksandra Wozniak staged a strong comeback to take the second

:05:42.:05:45.
