at the papers over on the BBC Naw3 Channel `ut now,

The pilot of an aeroplane that crashed

:00:15.:00:16.

near Guernsey Airport this week has spoken about his narrow esc`pe.

:00:17.:00:18.

John Shaw says he is lucky to be alive following Tuesday's crash

:00:19.:00:21.

his wife Lynda is still in hospital tonight and is said to

:00:22.:00:24.

Imagine being stuck in this smoke`filled cockpit unable

:00:25.:00:29.

That's exactly where the pilot John Shaw and his wife found thelselves.

:00:30.:00:41.

We were trapped within thesd greenhouses which were overgrown. It

:00:42.:00:51.

was not a pleasant place to be with over 200 litres of aviation fuel

:00:52.:00:55.

leaking from an aircraft. Wd were keen to get away.

:00:56.:00:59.

Shaw couldn't tell me anymore about the cause of the crash as

:01:00.:01:02.

He did say that it hasn't ptt him off flying, but he and his wife are

:01:03.:01:06.

The likelihood of a fire was high and that would have made it

:01:07.:01:17.

catastrophic. We are fortun`te to be alive.

:01:18.:01:21.

Insurers have decided the plane is written off, so they've gifted it to

:01:22.:01:24.

As the Channel islands continud to be a

:01:25.:01:27.

hub for light aircraft and `viation enthusiasts, it's training they will

:01:28.:01:30.

Twenty jobs are at risk at Kleinworth Benson in Jersey.

:01:31.:01:37.

The private bank and wealth management company set up

:01:38.:01:39.

offices in Jersey and this one in Guernsey in the 1960s.

:01:40.:01:41.

A spokesman from the companx says it's currently in talks with

:01:42.:01:44.

its 140 Jersey employees, btt no job losses are expected in Guernsey

:01:45.:01:51.

The Channel Islands Air Search have a new plane, but only for a week.

:01:52.:01:55.

The Lions Pride Islander cr`shed in Jersey last November

:01:56.:01:57.

This islander has been borrowed not for rescues, but to get

:01:58.:02:01.

A Jersey charity that helps separated families is to st`y

:02:02.:02:09.

Milli's Contact Centre is a place for people to meet

:02:10.:02:13.

their children if they are in dispute with their partndr.

:02:14.:02:16.

Last month, organisers said they would have to

:02:17.:02:18.

close, because they didn't have enough volunteers to run it.

:02:19.:02:20.

But after our report here on BBC Channel Islands News, 20 islanders

:02:21.:02:23.

A campaign's started to makd Jersey a world leader

:02:24.:02:32.

Bitcoin payments are alreadx accepted in a handful of pl`ces but

:02:33.:02:35.

if the States allow banks to accept and trade with it, Jersey could

:02:36.:02:38.

It's digital money, purchased online, that sits in a

:02:39.:02:46.

virtual wallet which you can access on your computer or mobile phone.

:02:47.:02:51.

Transactions go straight from the buyer to the seller, with no

:02:52.:02:54.

One Bitcoin is currently worth about ?350.

:02:55.:03:10.

Virtual payment for a real cup of coffee.

:03:11.:03:13.

This restaurant is one of only a few places in Jersey that accepts

:03:14.:03:16.

The amount comes up. It will generate up bar code.

:03:17.:03:31.

Now a group of local experts believe all our transactions

:03:32.:03:33.

My plan would be that you gdt the bus and pay using your phone.

:03:34.:03:40.

You get the paper, you pay with your phone.

:03:41.:03:43.

And at no point do you constantly give

:03:44.:03:45.

And that's appealing to bushnesses, too, as it cuts out the middleman.

:03:46.:03:52.

It's quick, it's reliable and it's instantaneous.

:03:53.:03:54.

With a credit card, we get charged and it takes a

:03:55.:03:56.

We get Bitcoins into our account straight away, without any charges.

:03:57.:04:00.

The next step would be Bitcoin banking, meaning workers getting

:04:01.:04:02.

But that would require new legislation and Robbie says

:04:03.:04:07.

Jersey could pioneer this platform. At the moment there is a big push

:04:08.:04:26.

for that digital industry to grow and if you ask any technologist what

:04:27.:04:33.

technology fits between dightal and finance, it would be somethhng like

:04:34.:04:35.

Bitcoin. Being first as a new system, there

:04:36.:04:38.

are fears Bitcoin lacks consumer protection, something the States

:04:39.:04:40.

will have to address if thex want to In tennis,

:04:41.:04:43.

Guernsey's Heather Watson h`s an automatic pass to the selifinals

:04:44.:04:48.

of the Aegon International after her quarterfinal opponent

:04:49.:04:50.

withdrew with a hamstring injury. Heather won her place

:04:51.:04:54.

in the quarter finals at Eastbourne after a three sets win over the

:04:55.:04:56.

World Number 12, Flavia Pennetta. And today, she was due to play

:04:57.:04:59.

World Number Six, Petra Kvitova .. I was shocked. This has nevdr

:05:00.:05:12.

happened to me before. I have never got a walkover before the m`tch I

:05:13.:05:20.

was like, OK, what do I do now? I wished her a full recovery for

:05:21.:05:24.

Wimbledon and I hope it is nothing too serious. She wished me good luck

:05:25.:05:29.

in the rest of the tournament and I am glad to be in the semi`fhnals now

:05:30.:05:32.

and look forward to my match tomorrow.
