Targeting teenage smokers ` new fines for under`18s caught

:00:09.:00:11.

Set for expansion ` the scheme that sees postmen and

:00:12.:00:21.

women calling and checking on the vulnerable is set to be extdnded.

:00:22.:00:26.

Also, the countdown begins ` as Jersey marks a year to go until

:00:27.:00:30.

Teenagers caught with cigardttes on them in Guernsey could f`ce up to

:00:31.:00:47.

It is the latest idea the Health Department wants

:00:48.:00:54.

the government to agree to, in a bid to try and stop people smokhng and

:00:55.:00:58.

What a convert a smoke can be. Some artists cannot paint without a

:00:59.:01:09.

smoke. In the last 60 years, attittdes to

:01:10.:01:11.

smoking have changed drastically. A film star would be lost whthout a

:01:12.:01:14.

cigarette. Now it is all

:01:15.:01:18.

about graphic warnings ` halmering The States' war against

:01:19.:01:20.

cigarettes is an ongoing battle And teenage smokers are now

:01:21.:01:23.

the latest target. Under`18s could face a fine

:01:24.:01:25.

of up to ?500 in future The reason that we're doing it is

:01:26.:01:37.

that it is harmful to smoke at a young age. We know that children are

:01:38.:01:43.

under pressure to take up sloking. It is damaging to their help. The

:01:44.:01:47.

police need to intervene in their interest.

:01:48.:01:50.

And peer pressure teenagers at this youth club are well aware

:01:51.:01:52.

of, although none of them actually smoke themselves.

:01:53.:01:55.

I know a couple of people who spoke but I do not like it. I don't know

:01:56.:02:01.

why anyone would smoke conshdering the health risks.

:02:02.:02:04.

Working with teenagers on a daily basis here,

:02:05.:02:06.

But he is not convinced that a hefty fine is the best wax

:02:07.:02:13.

That is very harsh, to be honest. They are made aware in school of the

:02:14.:02:23.

damage they are doing to thdir bodies. They are teenagers. You will

:02:24.:02:29.

never be able to stop 100% of young people.

:02:30.:02:33.

But for health officials, the reasons for targeting younger

:02:34.:02:35.

It is the time that the majority of people begin to smoke. It is

:02:36.:02:45.

important that we look at how to encourage and peatlands children

:02:46.:02:49.

from starting or continuing to smoke.

:02:50.:02:50.

On its own, the fine will not stop all children smoking.

:02:51.:02:53.

But it is part of a wider strategy from the States to try and cut

:02:54.:02:57.

Money seized from criminals could be used to buy

:02:58.:03:02.

Next week, the States will decide whether to contribute ?3.5 lillion

:03:03.:03:06.

towards helping the National Trust buy the former holiday camp site.

:03:07.:03:09.

The Treasury Minister believes it would be the best source

:03:10.:03:12.

of funds because it would not add to the States' budget spending.

:03:13.:03:18.

Guernsey's teachers are being asked to meet higher standards as part

:03:19.:03:20.

of changes announced by the Education Department.

:03:21.:03:22.

A new performance management policy will place more emphasis

:03:23.:03:25.

on technology and collaboration between tdachers.

:03:26.:03:27.

The changes are being rolled out and will be fully implementdd

:03:28.:03:29.

Jersey Post are extending their Call and Check scheme, where postal

:03:30.:03:37.

workers check on the welfard of elderly and vulnerable pdople.

:03:38.:03:41.

It has been piloted in St Brelade since November and will now be

:03:42.:03:44.

It has created such a response in the postal industry, it could

:03:45.:03:50.

Friday morning and Ricky is on his round in St Brelade.

:03:51.:04:00.

But this stop is not to deliver post.

:04:01.:04:02.

Hallow Ricky. How are you? H am just checking on you and making sure you

:04:03.:04:18.

are all right. Hilary is one of the clients of

:04:19.:04:24.

Jersey Post's Call and Check scheme. I think it is a wonderful sdrvice.

:04:25.:04:34.

Who thought of that? I think whoever thought of it deserves an OBE.

:04:35.:04:37.

Ricky has already seen the benefits of these welfare stops

:04:38.:04:40.

I have already had one incident where I was not happy on a Saturday

:04:41.:04:52.

because there was post on the doorstep. I could not an answer from

:04:53.:05:01.

the lady. I reported it. A doctor came to check on how and fotnd that

:05:02.:05:07.

she had collapsed. He had hdr in hospital later on that day.

:05:08.:05:09.

This community service has darned Jersey Post worldwide attention

:05:10.:05:11.

It could soon be delivered in the UK.

:05:12.:05:17.

We have the Royal voluntary service, who are one of the big

:05:18.:05:29.

charities in the UK, who ard keen to take up the scheme in the UK. They

:05:30.:05:33.

are coming to discuss how that could happen.

:05:34.:05:34.

Back here, the scheme is now being extended to three more parishes `

:05:35.:05:38.

It could be island`wide in the future.

:05:39.:05:44.

A post man checking ID thred times a week and reporting if there are any

:05:45.:05:52.

problems is a great supplemdnt to keep people at home.

:05:53.:05:55.

Back on the rounds and Rickx may be delivering less post these days

:05:56.:05:57.

but people like Hilary still look forward to his call.

:05:58.:06:04.

Today marks one year until the start of the Island Games

:06:05.:06:06.

An official countdown clock has been put up and officials from the Island

:06:07.:06:12.

Games Association, that is the body that is in charge of the evdnt, says

:06:13.:06:16.

Jersey is the most organised host in the history of the Island Games.

:06:17.:06:19.

In a year's time the 2015 Island Games will be underw`y.

:06:20.:06:23.

Today officials from all the islands have bden

:06:24.:06:25.

And they have liked what they have seen.

:06:26.:06:33.

It has improved every games. This looks like the greatest one step

:06:34.:06:42.

improvement between games. They had managed to be ready early. H have

:06:43.:06:52.

been very impressed by the `mount of facilities you have here. The

:06:53.:06:58.

organisers have said there hs more work being done, so I'm surd it will

:06:59.:07:05.

be perfect in 2015. We have no concerns about the organisation at

:07:06.:07:10.

all. We think it will be fantastic. We are coming with 180 people from

:07:11.:07:13.

Shetland. They are expecting 3000 competitors,

:07:14.:07:16.

as many as at the The biggest challenge is to ensure

:07:17.:07:30.

that we get everybody into the island. Transport, accommod`tion,

:07:31.:07:39.

and so on. The majority of the island is already booked. Wd have

:07:40.:07:46.

internal transport to move people around. These are big challdnges.

:07:47.:07:49.

These officials will return home to their islands this weekend,

:07:50.:07:52.

You are watching the BBC in the Channel Islands.

Later in Spotlight with Justin and Rebecca ` Glastonbury glamour.

:07:59.:08:00.

We find out how to do the festival in style.

:08:01.:08:09.

It has been a disappointing week for Jersey cricketers.

:08:10.:08:11.

They have lost all but one of their matches in the ICC World division

:08:12.:08:16.

Today they were releagted b`ck to division five, as Tim Pryor reports.

:08:17.:08:29.

Leading the team hotel on a mission to win. To stay up, Jersey had to

:08:30.:08:39.

win and other teams had to lose Jersey started losing, but the site

:08:40.:08:51.

was given hope. Jersey suffdred a remarkable collapsed losing five

:08:52.:08:56.

wickets for six runs in 20 balls. They posted a respectable 224, the

:08:57.:09:00.

top score of the week. They bowled top score of the week. They bowled

:09:01.:09:07.

well to start with. They let the chance slip away from them.

:09:08.:09:15.

Singapore reached the total with 3.1 overs to spare. It has been a

:09:16.:09:23.

massive week. It is a good side It has been quality opposition. We have

:09:24.:09:28.

learned a lot. We have falldn short on occasion. It is a week or we have

:09:29.:09:38.

come away really knowing wh`t we need to do to be successful. Their

:09:39.:09:47.

next European tenements will see them closer to home.

:09:48.:09:50.

We have not had too many very bad days of rainfall. There is ` risk of

:09:51.:10:11.

showers this weekend, but wd are going to see some of the best of the

:10:12.:10:19.

weather. There are some showers over France and the southern part of

:10:20.:10:24.

Britain. There may be occashonal showers on Sunday. Sunday is the day

:10:25.:10:35.

of this sport event. There lay be a few showers. This area of low

:10:36.:10:46.

pressure which suggest an un`settled weekend, but it will not be too bad.

:10:47.:10:55.

The high pressure will move away by Sunday. Overnight, there will be

:10:56.:11:01.

clear skies and temperatures at 13 Celsius. It will be mostly dry.

:11:02.:11:12.

Tomorrow, the cloud will go and there is a risk of a shower. But for

:11:13.:11:20.

many of us, there will be stnshine and temperatures 18`19 Celshus. The

:11:21.:11:30.

coastal waters forecast is generally fear with a risk of showers. Here

:11:31.:11:41.

are the times of high water. For surfers, we will see 2`3 fedt and

:11:42.:11:51.

clean. Monday will be a dry day The risk of showers returned on Tuesday.

:11:52.:11:54.

Have a good weekend. A 26 year old man has died

:11:55.:11:56.

after taking drugs Since he was rushed to hosphtal

:11:57.:12:28.

on Wednesday, officers from Avon and Somerset Police have bedn

:12:29.:12:31.

on site warning of the dangdrs. The man had a bad reaction to

:12:32.:12:34.

the drug ketamine. The region's longest serving MEP

:12:35.:12:36.

isn't ruling out a return to politics after he lost his seat

:12:37.:12:39.

in last month's European eldctions. The Liberal Democrat Graham Watson

:12:40.:12:42.

left his office in Brussels this He says he hasn't made up

:12:43.:12:44.

his mind about what to do ndxt. I take the view that you move on and

:12:45.:12:59.

you move on to new things. Hf you have a setback, as I have h`d, you

:13:00.:13:03.

pick yourself up, dust yourself off and start all over again.

:13:04.:13:08.

And you can see more on this story on the Sunday Politics programme.

:13:09.:13:13.

Search and Rescue helicopters have been landing on beaches in Cornwall

:13:14.:13:16.

to help prepare lifeguards for emergency situations.

:13:17.:13:18.

The air crews from RNAS Culdrose have been training with the RNLI

:13:19.:13:21.

Spotlight's John Danks was with them in Perranporth when

:13:22.:13:26.

A Sea King helicopter from 771 Squadron approaches Perranporth

:13:27.:13:37.

place is quiet this evening, but in the height of summer, finding a safe

:13:38.:13:45.

place to land can be a problem. When we arrive at the beach, we will

:13:46.:13:49.

always conduct an aerial recce to see what is going on. What we expect

:13:50.:13:54.

you to have done is to create a landing site for us. We do not want

:13:55.:13:58.

to fly over people in the bdach blowing away stuff. We want a nice,

:13:59.:14:01.

decent area that we can set the helicopter down in without causing

:14:02.:14:04.

distress to anyone. And then a safe way to come to and from the

:14:05.:14:14.

helicopter. For the lifeguards, it is a useful part of their pdak

:14:15.:14:31.

season training. The next thme we see these guys, it's for re`l. Just

:14:32.:14:35.

to work out what they do, what we can do to help them land, load

:14:36.:14:38.

patients, get them away is vital to speed up all our operation. For

:14:39.:14:41.

some, that meant a chance to look inside the Sea King and talk to the

:14:42.:14:45.

crew. I thought it was really cool, very interesting to see inshde it

:14:46.:14:48.

and see what the crew does `nd equipment they have on board. The

:14:49.:14:52.

training over, no one could have predicted how quickly it wotld be

:14:53.:14:55.

put into practice. The aircraft headed back to its base, only for it

:14:56.:14:58.

to return to Perranporth within 45 minutes. A woman had suffered

:14:59.:15:00.

a suspected heart attack on the beach. The lifeguard first on the

:15:01.:15:03.

scene had performed CPR before paramedics took over. The

:15:04.:15:06.

patient was airlifted to hospital, her condition is not known.

:15:07.:15:19.

For many youngsters, there's nothing like a kick around with

:15:20.:15:21.

But one family in Devon believe their son's love

:15:22.:15:25.

of the beautiful game has hdlped him through his cancer treatment.

:15:26.:15:30.

12 year old Ryan Griffiths refused to give up his place

:15:31.:15:32.

in the local team despite being diagnosed with a rare

:15:33.:15:35.

Ryan is your typical football crazy teenager.

:15:36.:15:42.

When he was told he would hd would have to stop playing

:15:43.:15:47.

for his beloved Broadcliffe Football Club to have cancer treatment,

:15:48.:15:49.

Kind of more upsetting for Ryan than being told he had cancdr.

:15:50.:15:55.

He was determined even though people told him he would not feel well

:15:56.:16:01.

enough, he had his chemo on a Wednesday, and his battle for the

:16:02.:16:05.

next few days was to get hilself fit enough and well enough to train on

:16:06.:16:08.

His determination definitelx kept us going as well.

:16:09.:16:21.

Ryan was only diagnosed with lymphoma at the start of thd year.

:16:22.:16:24.

For him, his favourite sport has become the perfect distracthon.

:16:25.:16:31.

Playing football made me forget about the stuff that was gohng on,

:16:32.:16:34.

like hospital, and if I was playing football I

:16:35.:16:36.

Ryan's club needs a bigger pitch for the under 13s to comepete

:16:37.:16:54.

So the Griffiths' family ard now turning

:16:55.:16:58.

their attention to vital fundraising as a way of saying thank yot.

:16:59.:17:03.

A lot of it has been flattered out at the bottom there, but we need

:17:04.:17:09.

a drainage system put in and the funds are running short now

:17:10.:17:12.

As you can see, there's not a lot being played here at the molent

:17:13.:17:15.

Having been given the all clear after treatment, he will dedicate

:17:16.:17:20.

more of his time to make sure that the pitch is ready and to bdcoming

:17:21.:17:26.

A Devon hockey player is celebrating after gaining her recall to

:17:27.:17:36.

22 year old Giselle Ainsley is from Kingsbridge but plays for Strbiton

:17:37.:17:45.

The defender has won 30 caps for England but was recentlx left

:17:46.:17:49.

She now hopes to make up for that disappointment

:17:50.:17:53.

when she competes in next month s Commonwealth Games in Glasgow.

:17:54.:17:55.

Obviously, we want to go thdre and win a gold medal, put rhght

:17:56.:17:58.

a few of the things that didn't go so well at the world cup and really

:17:59.:18:02.

show that it is not a bad tdam, we are not bad players and we can

Somerset must beat joint le`ders Essex in this evening's

:18:07.:18:13.

Twenty/20 Blast cricket at Taunton in order to keep their qualhfying

:18:14.:18:16.

They're six points behind Essex in their group

:18:17.:18:21.

Cirl Buntings are a south wdst conservation success story.

:18:22.:18:33.

The birds faced extinction in this country but have made

:18:34.:18:38.

Now they're being helped by the RSPB at its site in Labrador Bay, but the

:18:39.:18:43.

?100,000 to fund this latest work comes from an unexpected sotrce

:18:44.:18:46.

as our Environment Correspondent Adrian Campbell reports.

:18:47.:18:54.

The South Devon link road is certainly making its impact on the

:18:55.:19:00.

landscape. The works appeardd to be quite intense. The construction of

:19:01.:19:06.

the new road may have had bdnefits from motorists, but in terms of the

:19:07.:19:10.

environment, there have been some setbacks, not least the imp`ct on

:19:11.:19:16.

the cirl buntings, because they have suffered here. But here on Labrador

:19:17.:19:23.

Bay, Devon County Council h`s given a grant of ?100,000 which h`s

:19:24.:19:27.

improved the chances of the cirl buntings already here. Numbdrs are

:19:28.:19:34.

increasing here at Labrador Bay and with careful management, thhs will

:19:35.:19:39.

be an ideal location for thd birds. We have got all the habitats that

:19:40.:19:44.

they need. This wonderful grassland, fantastic edges `nd the

:19:45.:19:57.

arable land as well. Scattering seed also supplements the cirl btntings

:19:58.:20:04.

diet. The visitors we met wdre pleased to see the environmdnt being

:20:05.:20:08.

helped here. We need transport, but we need to look after our

:20:09.:20:13.

environment. That is if futtre for the children. It is a tough one but

:20:14.:20:17.

I'm sure they could do more if they wanted to. As I understand ht, they

:20:18.:20:25.

are creating a large number of birds in an area that had very few

:20:26.:20:29.

before, so they are creating a habitat and hoping for the best and

:20:30.:20:35.

it seems to be working well. Perhaps in this case, the trade`off is

:20:36.:20:40.

effective. There was a lot of sycamore coming in and we h`ve

:20:41.:20:43.

cleared it to allow the grass to develop. This will help the cirl

:20:44.:20:49.

buntings and also other species Plus, it is a fantastic view.

:20:50.:20:54.

Devon County Council says it is trying to balance the needs of the

:20:55.:20:56.

economy with the environment. The heavens have opened in places.

:20:57.:21:09.

It must mean that the Glastonbury Festival has kicked off tod`y. The

:21:10.:21:13.

weather has been far from Clement this evening.

:21:14.:21:16.

And most of the 130,000 revdllers who've descended on Worthy Farm

:21:17.:21:19.

in Somerset will be spending the next three nights under canvas.

:21:20.:21:21.

But some of them have forsaken the traditional tent for solething

:21:22.:21:24.

Fiona Lamdin had the arduous task of discovering what it's

:21:25.:21:28.

a hidden oasis where the mud, music and mayhem seems another world away.

:21:29.:21:43.

But it comes at a surprisingly huge pricd tag,

:21:44.:21:46.

Compared to the standard ticket which costs ?210.

:21:47.:21:56.

This is a special occasion for us, it's my retirement bash,

:21:57.:21:59.

Glastonbury I came to about 35 years ago, always fancied doing it again,

:22:00.:22:05.

We saw the yurts advertised and they looked gorgeous

:22:06.:22:16.

And then we went mad and booked a helicopter to bring us

:22:17.:22:20.

For me, is the perfect way to celebrate my retirement

:22:21.:22:24.

If I'm honest, right now, at the end of a long day down at the

:22:25.:22:29.

festival, I am really enjoyhng the cutlery, the china and the glass.

:22:30.:22:32.

We've got a kitchen, a fridge for the beer and whne,

:22:33.:22:39.

Most importantly, our own toilet, brilliant.

:22:40.:22:48.

We had a fantastic time last year, my first`time.

:22:49.:22:53.

I'd rather do this again th`n a luxury holiday abroad.

:22:54.:22:59.

At the end of the day, after trekking miles across the fhle, you

:23:00.:23:11.

by a bit of this. We get re`lly busy when it's wet because trudghng

:23:12.:23:16.

body. So coming in for a nice leg and foot massage, a bit of lower

:23:17.:23:22.

fantastic. It is now two in the morning and the party is cldarly

:23:23.:23:31.

But up here, it's almost like a relaxing hum which I can

:23:32.:23:35.

That would be your way of doing Glastonbury.

:23:36.:23:51.

It would know. But the weather is causing some

:23:52.:23:55.

problems tonight. Some of the stages have had to be powered down due to

:23:56.:23:56.

the thunderstorms. More thunder to come tomorrow as

:23:57.:24:08.

well. These showers have bedn forming lines. This is the sort of

:24:09.:24:13.

cloud causing the thunder and lightning. More of this typd of

:24:14.:24:23.

cloud likely tomorrow. Therd will be some sunshine in between thd

:24:24.:24:31.

showers, and much drier on Sunday. We are concerned about the heavy

:24:32.:24:36.

showers because those we have seen today have given some torrential

:24:37.:24:40.

downpours. And a warning of further downpours tomorrow. The bro`d set up

:24:41.:24:51.

is for low pressure, but evdn though we have low`pressure, there may be

:24:52.:24:54.

some sunshine in between thd showers. Saturday and Sundax, the

:24:55.:25:02.

area of low pressure begins to move out of the way. On Monday, `verage

:25:03.:25:07.

of high pressure coming in. He is a closer look at that picture, showing

:25:08.:25:13.

you where the showers have been This line of showers have h`d some

:25:14.:25:20.

thunder in them. It is that sort of location that could well sed the

:25:21.:25:23.
