Good evening. of that interview with Pele on BB

:00:00.:00:12.

The number of prisoners in Jersey has fallen over the last five years.

:00:13.:00:15.

The Prison's annual report, released this week, revealed La Moye

:00:16.:00:18.

But so far this year, that number's dropped to a daily average of 1 7.

:00:19.:00:25.

What the report does highlight is that the majority

:00:26.:00:27.

147 people who were sent to prison over the year to the end

:00:28.:00:33.

Fewer people are entering the gates of La Moye prison,

:00:34.:00:40.

however the ones who do are no stranger to life behind these bars.

:00:41.:00:46.

The most frequent repeat offenders tend to be drug users, who rely

:00:47.:00:49.

Or those who can't find work after they leave prison, and turn

:00:50.:00:56.

Some go back to strong support, but others we have defined a mistake ``

:00:57.:01:14.

place to stay before they are liberated. Work is a major problem.

:01:15.:01:18.

If they have no income or w`y of getting an income, the chances are

:01:19.:01:19.

they will commit crime to strvive. The prison is quick to say that

:01:20.:01:31.

repeat offending is not a significant problem, but adlit there

:01:32.:01:33.

are still many individuals whose However the government belidves

:01:34.:01:36.

the current system is working. The system we operate for most

:01:37.:01:40.

prisoners who've cooperated and aren't at risk to the ptblic is

:01:41.:01:42.

that they get released on d`y work schemes during the last year or so

:01:43.:01:45.

of their sentence and if thdy can find work that helps,

:01:46.:01:49.

then in the last month or so they will be released

:01:50.:01:51.

into their own home ` provided there But there isn't always

:01:52.:01:54.

a home to go back to. Even so, La Moye Prison say

:01:55.:01:58.

they have done all they can. Do you think you need to look more

:01:59.:02:08.

closely at the rehabilitation team? `` scheme?

:02:09.:02:11.

And that's partly why we make a good reduction to prison numbers

:02:12.:02:15.

But Jersey's prison populathon rate is still higher than many other

:02:16.:02:19.

European countries, who also share the problem

:02:20.:02:20.

It's being billed as the latest weapon in the fight

:02:21.:02:29.

Telecoms companies in the Channel Islands are installhng new

:02:30.:02:36.

equipment to prevent islanddrs downloading illegal images,

:02:37.:02:37.

This device is protecting thousands of people in the

:02:38.:02:49.

Inside it there are filters from the Internet Watch Foundation,

:02:50.:02:52.

blocking illegal online content such as child pornography.

:02:53.:02:53.

The telecom company Airtel Vodafone is the first operator in thd

:02:54.:02:56.

Channel Islands to introducd it on their network.

:02:57.:02:58.

The uncomfortable truth is that the telecoms have decided to act because

:02:59.:03:07.

Today there have been zero `ttempts, and when we first put it in, there

:03:08.:03:14.

were lots of attempts, so pdople have learned that they cannot do it

:03:15.:03:15.

and they have stopped. The uncomfortable truth is that the

:03:16.:03:18.

telecoms have decided to act because there are people in the Channel

:03:19.:03:21.

Islands who are downloading and even In this office in Cambridge

:03:22.:03:24.

a handful of staff are on p`trol Their job is to monitor images

:03:25.:03:28.

from the world wide web. So graphic is the content the staff

:03:29.:03:32.

have to have regular counselling. They can close down UK webshtes

:03:33.:03:36.

and block overseas ones containing This information is then relayed to

:03:37.:03:39.

the filters here in the There is a significant enough

:03:40.:03:52.

problem that it's something we have to tackle, whether it is local

:03:53.:03:55.

people, coming into the isl`nds on business or on holiday, but wherever

:03:56.:04:00.

it is coming on `` from, we have to acknowledge there is an isste like

:04:01.:04:01.

anywhere else. Vodafone introduced this

:04:02.:04:04.

protection two months ago. JT have told me that the majority

:04:05.:04:05.

of their broadband customers are now covered

:04:06.:04:08.

by the filters with the rem`inder to Sure have this week signed tp to the

:04:09.:04:10.

IWF and still need to install the Flybe has announced its first

:04:11.:04:15.

pre`tax profit in four years. But it's come at a cost to staff

:04:16.:04:21.

and passengers here in the Almost 50 jobs were cut

:04:22.:04:24.

as the airline closed its b`ses In terms of routes, five services

:04:25.:04:28.

from Jersey have gone, and both Neil Gallacher sent this report

:04:29.:04:33.

from Exeter airport. It is a striking turnaround, pre`tax

:04:34.:04:50.

profit of ?8.1 million against a loss of over ?40 million last year.

:04:51.:04:53.

The new boss has only been here for about ten months and today he is

:04:54.:04:57.

talking about the rebirth of the airline. The secret in our world is

:04:58.:05:02.

that we must be disciplined in how we deploy our capital, how we focus

:05:03.:05:09.

aircraft, and what routes wd select. That is the benefit of all,

:05:10.:05:13.

ultimately. We want to have a sustainable and bright future that

:05:14.:05:17.

is there the long run for otr customers, and for the livelihoods

:05:18.:05:22.

of our employees depends on that locally in the south`west. He has

:05:23.:05:26.

had a lot of controversial stuff to do, cutting jobs, cutting flights,

:05:27.:05:31.

dropping some of the aircraft from the fleet. Let me leave you with one

:05:32.:05:35.

telling stat. Their UK scheduled flights have seen passenger seat

:05:36.:05:40.

come down by about 1.5%, but passenger numbers have gone up by

:05:41.:05:44.

7%. Now that's quite a trick to pull off.

:05:45.:05:47.

Finally, States meetings in Guernsey could be televised or broadcast over

:05:48.:05:49.

the internet, if Deputies agree to new proposals in July.

:05:50.:05:52.

The plans are the work of the States Assembly and

:05:53.:05:55.

Constitution Committee, which wants to see more transparency and more

:05:56.:05:57.

You can currently listen live to the States on BBC Radio Guernsey.

:05:58.:06:05.

And BBC Radio Guernsey and Radio Jersey will be back

:06:06.:06:07.

on air from 6am with the latest news, travel and weather.

:06:08.:06:10.

I'll leave you with David Braine and the weather.

:06:11.:06:13.

Good evening, more fine weather to look forward to, not just the

:06:14.:06:23.

tomorrow, but for Friday and lasting into the weekend as well. Wd will

:06:24.:06:28.

get an amount of cloud, but that's the only problem we have, bdcause

:06:29.:06:32.

high`pressure has already ddveloped and will be with us. Clear skies

:06:33.:06:37.

tonight and a lot of fine wdather. It might be that we see mord cloud

:06:38.:06:40.

as we head into the weekend. I will come to that in a second but

:06:41.:06:44.

overnight, clear sky and temperatures down to 11 or 02

:06:45.:06:50.

degrees, and a fine day tonhght `` find a tomorrow. Ten bridges will

:06:51.:06:55.

get to 19 or 20 degrees and maybe in Jersey we will be higher th`n that,

:06:56.:06:59.

up to 22, with the winds light and from the North or Northeast. The

:07:00.:07:04.

outlook is fine for Friday, another warm day, more of a breeze `nd

:07:05.:07:07.

slightly more cloud around on Saturday and Sunday and that won't

:07:08.:07:11.

spoil the weekend. It is not a fine one. Strong sunshine this thme of

:07:12.:07:18.

year. The UV rays up at six or seven over the next couple of days and

:07:19.:07:23.

also the pollen is high but not good news if you are a hay fever

:07:24.:07:27.

sufferer. From the team herd, good night.

:07:28.:07:33.

of a late storm, at tupns ! bht fresher into the weekend

:07:34.:07:39.

On the eve of the World Cup, there was a bit of Brazil in Bridlington

:07:40.:07:45.

today because Bridlington on the east Yorkshire Coast shared the same

:07:46.:07:49.

top temperature as the Brazilian city of Sao Paulo, 22 degrees. That

:07:50.:07:53.

is as the weather settles down across the UK as this area of high

:07:54.:07:58.

pressure comes in. It's still with us at the weekend but its
