:00:00.:00:21.

Making crime pay ` calls for criminal's confiscated

:00:22.:00:25.

We speak to one former prisoner who's trying to get back on track.

:00:26.:00:29.

Digging up the highways and racking up high costs ` moves to make

:00:30.:00:32.

And fears seasonal workers will be put off coming to Jersey if they

:00:33.:00:41.

Money made from crime should be used to pay for a new drop`in centre

:00:42.:01:06.

St Helier Deputy Mike Higgins is calling for the States to use

:01:07.:01:11.

the proceeds of crime to renovate a charity's premises in town.

:01:12.:01:13.

Earlier this month new figures showed the majority of inmates at

:01:14.:01:19.

It's not been easy for John to get back on his feet after prison.

:01:20.:01:27.

He's worried he might be discriminated against

:01:28.:01:28.

But John ` who left La Moye nine months ago `

:01:29.:01:35.

says Kevin who runs the Freddom for Life charity's really helped him.

:01:36.:01:42.

then the eye was lucky in h`ving the support of my family. `` was lucky

:01:43.:02:00.

in having the support of my family. Other than that without the support

:02:01.:02:08.

I do not know where I would have been.

:02:09.:02:19.

The fund is supposed to be tsed specifically for reducing crime

:02:20.:02:34.

And that's what Deputy Mike Higgins is worried about.

:02:35.:02:36.

He wants ?200,000 to turn this derelict warehouse into a drop`in

:02:37.:02:39.

Developing this building will enable us to enhance our service.

:02:40.:02:53.

Any prisoner will tell you the most difficult time is preparing to leave

:02:54.:03:06.

prison because you do not know what the reactions of people will be

:03:07.:03:16.

And if the Treasury which administers the fund `grees,

:03:17.:03:18.

this building could be the stepping stone ex`offenders like John need.

:03:19.:03:21.

Two men accused of defrauding Guernsey's States out of millions of

:03:22.:03:23.

pounds must wait more than ` year to stand trial. Adrian Taylor `nd John

:03:24.:03:27.

Woodhatch are accused of trhcking the island's Treasury and Rdsources

:03:28.:03:29.

department into paying the loney into a bank account, as Emm`

:03:30.:03:32.

Chambers reports. It was an ?80 million contr`ct to

:03:33.:03:34.

refurbish Guernsey's airport runway ` but it cost the States a lot more.

:03:35.:03:41.

In June 2012, the Treasury `nd Resources department paid ?2.6

:03:42.:03:43.

million into a bank account after receiving a letter. They thought was

:03:44.:03:48.

from airport contractor Lag`n Construction, but it was fake. These

:03:49.:03:53.

are the two men accused of tricking the States of Guernsey out of

:03:54.:03:56.

millions. Adrian Taylor on the left and John Woodhatch on the rhght

:03:57.:04:02.

Today in Southwark Crown Cotrt they denied a single count of conspiracy

:04:03.:04:04.

to defraud between January `nd August 2012. The pair also denied

:04:05.:04:09.

entering into an arrangement to launder money and acquire criminal

:04:10.:04:13.

property between July and Atgust of the same year. Mr Woodhatch denied a

:04:14.:04:16.

further count of transferring criminal property. The two len were

:04:17.:04:20.

released on bail until their trial which will take place in September

:04:21.:04:23.

The number of people unemployed in Jersey has fallen. There ard

:04:24.:04:36.

currently 1,530 people registered as actively seeking work. That's 3 0

:04:37.:04:39.

fewer than the year before. It follows a falling trend for 201 ,

:04:40.:04:44.

and is the lowest recorded for more than two years.

:04:45.:04:49.

There's been another fire at the Pontin's holiday camp site

:04:50.:04:51.

which Jersey police think w`s started on purpose.

:04:52.:04:53.

These photos taken by the fire service show smoke coming

:04:54.:04:55.

from one of the chalets ` which was used by a charity to store books.

:04:56.:04:59.

It's the second fire at the Plemont site this year `

:05:00.:05:01.

investigators still don't know what caused the last one in Janu`ry.

:05:02.:05:12.

Companies that want to dig tp Guernsey's roads could have to

:05:13.:05:15.

The States are looking at charging for road closurds to try

:05:16.:05:19.

and make back some of the hundreds of thousands of pounds

:05:20.:05:21.

We all know how frustrating it is when you're driving along

:05:22.:05:26.

Road closures can be a real nusiance ` and one wd're

:05:27.:05:31.

Last year 874 roads were dug up up on 820 the previous year,

:05:32.:05:39.

costing the States hundreds of thousands of pounds a ye`r.

:05:40.:05:47.

The course for road closures is ?350,000 per year. Several hundreds

:05:48.:06:01.

of thousands as the cost of increasing excavations by utility

:06:02.:06:05.

companies. We are engaging with those utility companies to see how

:06:06.:06:10.

we can come up with a reasonable approach.

:06:11.:06:14.

They're still working on the details ` like how mtch.

:06:15.:06:16.

The hope is it'll mean comp`nies work together more, potenti`lly

:06:17.:06:19.

But for what can be essenti`l work it will mean an added cost

:06:20.:06:23.

The costs involved will havd to be recovered somewhere. Ultimately that

:06:24.:06:39.

will be through the customer. We will do all we can to minimhse the

:06:40.:06:46.

As well as covering the costs of managing roadworks the States

:06:47.:06:51.

say the money they make would help improve the state of the ro`ds `

:06:52.:06:54.

rather than be diverted onto other projects.

:06:55.:07:07.

There are claims registration costs for new seasonal workers coling to

:07:08.:07:09.

Jersey are unfair and should be reduced.

:07:10.:07:11.

The cards were introduced a year ago,

:07:12.:07:13.

Local residents who have lived in the island for ten years only

:07:14.:07:17.

need one if they move house or jobs and it won't cost them anything

:07:18.:07:20.

But those who move to Jersex for work under a licence or for seasonal

:07:21.:07:23.

Some fear that fee is putting workers off coming to the island `

:07:24.:07:28.

and that some industries cotld suffer.

:07:29.:07:30.

Working hard to keep businesses like this one in motion

:07:31.:07:34.

The Hospitality Association believe that seasonal workers, like these

:07:35.:07:41.

migrants and students, should be exempt from paying for registration

:07:42.:07:45.

to work cards, as it could put workers off coming to the island,

:07:46.:07:49.

We are giving out the wrong message. If these people see that Jersey is

:07:50.:08:05.

cause for business because ht will cost ?75 to register for employment

:08:06.:08:09.

they will not come. It is only short term choosing the summer months It

:08:10.:08:14.

is important that we have these people over here looking for jobs

:08:15.:08:21.

But not all employers consider the registration cards as lhmiting.

:08:22.:08:26.

It has not been an issue for us We have if you migrant workers here pay

:08:27.:08:35.

for the cards themselves. They are here for a season. They are doing 48

:08:36.:08:41.

hours per week on a reasonable wage. ?75 over six months is a small

:08:42.:08:46.

Now one from the States was available for comment today.

Sport ` and first to Singapore where Jersey's cricketers are fachng

:09:02.:09:03.

relegation from ICC World League Division Four.

:09:04.:09:05.

Today they lost their third match of the tournament as they wdre

:09:06.:09:08.

It means Jersey are bottom of the table and will almost

:09:09.:09:12.

certainly need to beat the hosts Singapore in their last

:09:13.:09:18.

group game on Friday to havd any chance of staying in the division.

:09:19.:09:23.

In tournament all games are big Each game is getting bigger. We have

:09:24.:09:31.

got to go away from this ond and regroup. The next game is a massive

:09:32.:09:41.

one. They are at home. We h`ve got to take the game to them and see

:09:42.:09:43.

what we can do. And at Wimbledon,

:09:44.:09:46.

Heather Watson and her Canadian tennis partner have been knocked out

:09:47.:09:48.

of the women's doubles compdtition They were beaten in straight sets

:09:49.:09:51.

by the Australian number six seeds Tomorrow Heather resumes her singles

few showers. Temperatures not much difference to what we have been used

:11:34.:11:35.

to, but it will feel fresher. towards the weekend. There will be

:11:36.:12:23.

showers and sunshine in between those showers. Cooler juicing the

:12:24.:12:30.

night`time. Thank you.

:12:31.:12:40.

That is all for now. Our late bulletin tonight is later than usual

:12:41.:12:42.

because of the football. Later we will meet an England

:12:43.:13:12.

international beach volleyb`ll player who is off to the

:13:13.:13:15.

International Championships in Mexico next month and we will meet

:13:16.:13:17.

her in a short while. An inquest has been hearing how

:13:18.:13:21.

a young RAF gunner from Devon died in Afghanistan in

:13:22.:13:23.

an incident involving an arloured vehicle operated by a colle`gue who

:13:24.:13:26.

didn't have a driving licence. Senior aircraft man

:13:27.:13:29.

Kinikki Griffiths, from Exmouth was killed when he was crushed under

:13:30.:13:32.

the wheels of a patrol vehicle called a Jackal during a patrol

:13:33.:13:36.

in the Helmand desert. Camp Bastion, helping to kedp it

:13:37.:13:55.

secure four years ago fell to the RAF Regiment and with them, Kinikki

:13:56.:13:58.

Griffiths, a senior aircraft man from Exmouth who was 20. On Friday

:13:59.:14:04.

16th of July 2010 he left C`mp Bastion as part of a three vehicle

:14:05.:14:09.

patrol looking for a missing backpack containing night vhsion

:14:10.:14:13.

goggles and grenade rounds. The fear was the enemy could use these to

:14:14.:14:16.

create IED 's, improvised explosive devices. A Jackal similar to this

:14:17.:14:25.

one was part of the patrol `nd being driven by a corporal that the court

:14:26.:14:33.

heard had only driven a Jackal four or five times on the deploylent even

:14:34.:14:36.

though he was not qualified and did not have a driving licence. He said

:14:37.:14:41.

he was driving because his colleagues were tired. The Jackal

:14:42.:14:46.

started leaking fluid and two men got underneath to look. The corporal

:14:47.:14:49.

said he learned over the drhvers seat to turn the engine off and

:14:50.:14:53.

suddenly the vehicle rolled back. The other man was freed but Kinikki

:14:54.:14:58.

Griffiths was trapped. His colleagues formed a scrum to push

:14:59.:15:04.

the Jackal that waves seven tonnes. Kinikki Griffiths was flown by

:15:05.:15:08.

helicopter to Camp Bastion but he died of his injuries and his inquest

a terrorist or a hijacker on board Well, on dry land and in a building,

:15:16.:15:19.

believe it or not. But parts of Tregantle Fort

:15:20.:15:25.

in Cornwall have been converted to give a similar layout to th`t

classroom. Specially constrtcted compartments mimic a boat. The doors

:16:07.:16:12.

open different ways and there are watertight doors and normal doors

:16:13.:16:15.

that open inwards and outwards and it is important to replicatd them in

:16:16.:16:20.

this facility so that we can train the teams in all of those procedures

:16:21.:16:24.

for dealing with different risks. Most of the senior guys will put

:16:25.:16:28.

their imagination to it and when they start looking like a ship, as

:16:29.:16:34.

the Captain and the commanddr has already pointed out, it reflects to

:16:35.:16:37.

a ship that they can tell you where they are one warship so it gives

:16:38.:16:39.

them that insight before thdy provide this technique on board

:16:40.:16:48.

Some of these compartments `re designed to be very narrow. This

:16:49.:16:55.

area is supposed to be a submarine. Watching the demonstration today are

Around 2,000 young people from across Devon have been taking

:18:05.:18:07.

part in the Summer School G`mes in Plymouth.

:18:08.:18:09.

Children got the chance to compete in seven different sports

:18:10.:18:13.

including athletics, cycling, rowing, tennis and rounders.

Beach Volleyball players ard about They're being held in Mexico and

:18:47.:18:49.

of the top players is 15`ye`r`old She's getting in some last linute

:18:50.:18:53.

practise and our sport reporter Dave Gibbins is watching

:18:54.:18:56.

on the north coast this evening Yes, good evening. This is what is

:18:57.:19:10.

called the Academy of beach sports which is run by a former senior

:19:11.:19:14.

England international beach volleyball player who happens to

:19:15.:19:22.

coach Anayer Evans. Can we hnterrupt your practice session? She has high

:19:23.:19:29.

hopes for Anayer. How much has Denise Austin helped you in your

:19:30.:19:34.

development? She has been a" coached me since I was about seven xears old

:19:35.:19:37.

and she is not only like a coach button in the tour to me as well.

:19:38.:19:43.

Whatever I do she helps and she makes me learn from my mist`kes so I

:19:44.:19:49.

learned the best out of what I get and she is really helpful and always

:19:50.:19:53.

there for me. What gives yot a buzz about beach volleyball? What makes

:19:54.:19:58.

the sport special? I think ht is the atmosphere you get when you play

:19:59.:20:00.

with a team`mate and the love on court for each other. You c`nnot

:20:01.:20:03.

play with a team`mate that xou dislike so you really have to love

:20:04.:20:07.

each other which is nice whdn you are playing. It is the

:20:08.:20:09.

competitiveness as well between teams. You have to work so hard to

:20:10.:20:22.

keep the World Championships are in Acapulco in Mexico next month. That

:20:23.:20:25.

will be a bit different to this beach. What do you expect? Hopefully

:20:26.:20:27.

the Harris `` hopefully the standard will be really high, their

:20:28.:20:29.

qualification was really hard that I think it will be even better. It is

:20:30.:20:33.

meant to be really hot weather as well which will be nice as we

:20:34.:20:36.

usually train in the rain and the wind and stuff so hot and still with

:20:37.:20:41.

good competition hopefully. We wish you the best of luck but before we

:20:42.:20:45.

hand back to Simon and Clard in the studio they are going to show you a

:20:46.:20:50.

bit of a trick. You have a knack of spinning the ball, show thel how it

:20:51.:20:59.

is done. Look at that! A bit longer! What is that about? It is jtst

:21:00.:21:05.

control, when I'm playing I like to feel in control of the ball so that

:21:06.:21:08.

is why I use it. She is going to teach me how to do that so buy buy.

:21:09.:21:13.

Thank you, Dave! We often use things `` meastre

:21:14.:21:22.

things by the number of football pitches but what about a tapestry?

:21:23.:21:28.

A major project to weave a tapestry almost half the size of the one

:21:29.:21:31.

hanging in Bayeux is underw`y, over the channel in Cornwall. Thd piece

:21:32.:21:34.

of work detailing the history of Saltash will involve more than

:21:35.:21:37.

25,000 hours of work and stretch over 100 feet long. Anna Varle

:21:38.:21:40.

Towering icons of the Saltash skyline. Just part of the town's

:21:41.:21:47.

history immortalised in this major piece of work. This has takdn up

:21:48.:21:53.

every hour of my life for the past three years and hopefully bx next

:21:54.:21:58.

year it will be complete. It will be about 104 feet long and open to the

:21:59.:22:05.

public. This is the brainchhld of a former Navy man whose passion is

:22:06.:22:08.

embroidery. He has spent thd last two years working with more than 60

:22:09.:22:13.

members of the community to design and sketch and stitch these panels.

:22:14.:22:18.

I was responsible for this one. This one depicts the torch coming through

:22:19.:22:24.

Saltash for the Olympic Gamds in London. The tapestry is going to be

:22:25.:22:28.

hung probably for quite a long time, maybe hundreds of years and so

:22:29.:22:33.

it is a wonderful feeling to feel like part of you was going to be

:22:34.:22:38.

left behind when you pop yotr clogs, so to speak. Schoolchildren are

:22:39.:22:42.

doing their bit by designing the top sections of each canvas. Thhs one is

:22:43.:22:46.

in honour of a Scout leader who lost his life fighting the `` fighting a

:22:47.:22:51.

fire during the Blitz in thd Second World War. It is quite side because

:22:52.:22:55.

he is trying to put out the fires and then he died and that is why we

:22:56.:22:59.

have got one of these, one of his badges on the back of our ndck. Once

:23:00.:23:04.

completed the 54 scenes will detail the town's heritage, from Stone Age

:23:05.:23:11.

to modern day. The wall that is being used is actually from Bayeux

:23:12.:23:15.

itself and when it is fishing `` finished, because it has bedn done

:23:16.:23:19.

in all of the Bayeux tapestry, it will be hung for a period of time

:23:20.:23:25.

with the Bayeux tapestry in France. It is hoped this will be a living

:23:26.:23:29.

tapestry and every five years a new campus will be added to it. ``

:23:30.:23:37.

canvas. It looks fantastic. Was that it for

:23:38.:23:47.

some? `` summer. It is all changed with the day

:23:48.:23:50.

tomorrow with a weather front coming off the Atlantic which we h`ve not

:23:51.:23:53.

seen for a while. It introdtces fresher conditions and much more

:23:54.:23:58.

unsettled conditions. Patchx rain is possible tomorrow and for all of us

:23:59.:24:01.

it will feel cooler. Overnight tonight it will feel cooler and

:24:02.:24:04.

there is a drop in temperattres compared to the last few nights so

:24:05.:24:08.

for most of us it will be more comfortable for sleeping. There is

:24:09.:24:13.

the cold, the weather front coming our way. Slow progress at the moment

:24:14.:24:41.

and it will eventually arrive and then introduce a lot more clout A

:24:42.:24:44.

pleasant evening for all of us with more of a breeze developing along

:24:45.:24:47.

the south coast today but as the weather front comes in overnight

:24:48.:24:49.

tonight it will lie pretty luch across much of Cornwall in the

:24:50.:24:52.

middle of the day. It moves fairly steadily so by the end of the

:24:53.:24:54.

afternoon it has gone through most of us and even some late sunshine

:24:55.:24:57.

but by Friday the low presstre is right over us which means stnshine

:24:58.:25:00.

for sure but every now and then a sharp shower and one or two of them

:25:01.:25:03.

could be quite heavy with the risk of thunder. The satellite phcture

:25:04.:25:05.

from earlier today shows high`level Cloud and earlier `` now th`t is

:25:06.:25:08.

making the sunshine a bit h`zy. Here is a scene of that cloud from

:25:09.:25:10.

earlier today and relativelx quiet sea conditions. We have had very

:25:11.:25:13.

gentle wind in the last few days but for most of vast, particularly the

:25:14.:25:15.

seafarers the conditions have been good. This is a boat called Pegasus

:25:16.:25:21.

setting out to see from Plylouth Sound. A lovely evening, easterly

:25:22.:25:28.

winds. Overnight the cloud will come and go for a while but eventually

:25:29.:25:32.

the thick cloud will approach from the South West and that thicker

:25:33.:25:36.

cloud. To produce a few spots of rain across Saint Mary 's and

:25:37.:25:40.

Penzance. For the rest of us it is not a bad start and it will be a

:25:41.:25:46.

cold start as well. Temperatures will be lower than recently.

:25:47.:25:53.

Considerably fresher than it has been over the last few nights.

:25:54.:25:58.

Tomorrow morning some sunny spells, particularly across Somerset and

:25:59.:26:01.

Dorset but quickly the cloud will win and it will become quitd

:26:02.:26:05.

extensive in the morning and the afternoon. Some heavy bursts of rain

:26:06.:26:09.

but the main line of rain bx the end of the afternoon will lie across

:26:10.:26:13.

parts of Somerset and the e`st of Dorset, moving away fairly rapidly

:26:14.:26:17.

and what will follow is bridfly some sunshine but then some sharp

:26:18.:26:22.

showers. The second part of the day is not a complete write off. The

:26:23.:26:27.

change in wind direction will be more noticeable when it becomes

:26:28.:26:31.

south`westerly. That will bring the fresher air off the sea. 17 or 8

the top temperature for a l`rge part of Cornwall and Southern Devon but

:26:37.:26:39.

where we hold onto a bitter brightness we could get up to 1 , 20

:26:40.:26:46.

or 21. In the Isles of Scilly morning showers and then drx for a

:26:47.:26:49.

time but we cannot rule out the possibility of a further showers

:26:50.:26:53.

turning up later in the day. Times of high water.

:26:54.:27:00.

For our surfers the surf will pick up in the next few days, expect to

:27:01.:27:11.

see bigger waves. You may wdll start to see the surf pick up, up to about

:27:12.:27:14.

two feet and a bit on the choppy side. That is the coastal w`ters

:27:15.:27:26.

forecast. The outlook is cooler and more unsettled with a bit of

:27:27.:27:30.

sunshine, but also a few sh`rp showers. Have a good evening.

:27:31.:27:36.

That is all tonight. We will be back with the late news at a latdr time

:27:37.:27:41.

of 11:30 p.m.. For now we whll leave you with how it is looking on the

:27:42.:27:43.
