Our existing cable isn't as healthy as it should be. | :00:11. | :00:29. | |
It comes as Guernsey Electricity announce losses of ?300,000. | :00:30. | :00:31. | |
An orangutan who made the headlines after her last offspring | :00:32. | :00:35. | |
was delivered by a hospital consultant dies aged fifty. | :00:36. | :00:39. | |
And look up, something's out there, but find out why there's set to be | :00:40. | :00:43. | |
new rules for flying drones like these around the Channel Islands. | :00:44. | :00:59. | |
Attempts are being made to speed up a vital link to secure Guernsey's | :01:00. | :01:02. | |
The only cable that the island has to import electricity | :01:03. | :01:07. | |
It comes as Guernsey Electricity announces further losses in | :01:08. | :01:11. | |
The view from Guernsey this morning with Jersey on the horizon. | :01:12. | :01:21. | |
And this is pretty much the route that the island's only | :01:22. | :01:24. | |
Behind me, beneath this slipway is where the cable comes ashore. A | :01:25. | :01:41. | |
couple of years ago, this cable broke but was subsequently fixed. | :01:42. | :01:45. | |
There is now concerned that the condition of the cable has | :01:46. | :01:52. | |
deteriorated faster than expected. We've noticed that the existing | :01:53. | :01:55. | |
cable is not as healthy as it should be, we're now looking at how we can | :01:56. | :02:00. | |
fast`track a replacement for the cable between the two islands. That | :02:01. | :02:05. | |
should be done next year or the year after. | :02:06. | :02:06. | |
Work is underway to improve the security of supply. | :02:07. | :02:08. | |
There are two cables between Jersey and France, | :02:09. | :02:10. | |
A new link is expected to come online in the next few months. | :02:11. | :02:15. | |
There are also plans for a second cable between Guernsey and Jersey, | :02:16. | :02:18. | |
with Guernsey also looking to have a direct connection to France. | :02:19. | :02:20. | |
All this comes at a cost, and with a mild winter resulting in less energy | :02:21. | :02:24. | |
consumed, Guernsey Electricity has once again failed to make a profit. | :02:25. | :02:28. | |
It has however stemmed the loss of previous years. | :02:29. | :02:31. | |
In 2012, both the Guernsey to Jersey and Jersey to France cables failed, | :02:32. | :02:36. | |
leading to a loss of ?3.4million as well as a price hike for customers. | :02:37. | :02:41. | |
Last year things picked up with a shortfall of over a quarter | :02:42. | :02:44. | |
Installing and maintaining underwater cables | :02:45. | :02:50. | |
can be expensive, but GE says prices shouldn't fluctuate too much | :02:51. | :02:54. | |
I can't give an insurance in terms of the wholesale cost. If the | :02:55. | :03:06. | |
wholesale costs go up significantly, we will have to pass those through. | :03:07. | :03:12. | |
The good news is that we can see predictability that they will remain | :03:13. | :03:15. | |
at around the same level for the next two years. | :03:16. | :03:17. | |
The existing cable that lies beneath remains a concern | :03:18. | :03:19. | |
for Guernsey Electricity, who say it's working with | :03:20. | :03:21. | |
manufacturer to try and understand why it's causing so many problems. | :03:22. | :03:28. | |
A 22`year`old man has been charged with the burglary of a Guernsey | :03:29. | :03:31. | |
About fifty pieces of jewellery worth ?23,000 were | :03:32. | :03:33. | |
stolen from Martin and Martin jewellers in St Peter Port. | :03:34. | :03:36. | |
Mason Turner from the South of England appeared in | :03:37. | :03:38. | |
Guernsey's Magistrates Court this afternoon and reserved his plea. | :03:39. | :03:40. | |
He's due to reappear in court again on September the 12th. | :03:41. | :03:46. | |
The much`loved and oldest orangutan at Jersey's Durrell Wildlife | :03:47. | :03:48. | |
Gina made the headlines when her last infant was born | :03:49. | :03:52. | |
by caesarean section and was delivered by a hospital consultant. | :03:53. | :03:56. | |
This is back in 2005, when Gina's infant Jaya was | :03:57. | :04:03. | |
Then it was all celebration for two lives saved. | :04:04. | :04:09. | |
And recently Gina featured in Refugees of the Lost Rainforest | :04:10. | :04:11. | |
on BBC1, a programme made by BBC Jersey. | :04:12. | :04:15. | |
But today there's sadness as Gina died late last night. | :04:16. | :04:19. | |
She'd shown no signs of illness and was found by her keeper | :04:20. | :04:22. | |
She came to the conservation park in 1968, after being confiscated from | :04:23. | :04:29. | |
Gina spent 46 years at Durrell, bearing | :04:30. | :04:34. | |
We are saddened by it. She was a long`standing character, much loved | :04:35. | :04:48. | |
here. By staff, volunteers and our visitors as well. She has left a | :04:49. | :04:54. | |
great legacy in terms of her offspring and the fact she was well | :04:55. | :04:57. | |
liked and the memories she has left people. | :04:58. | :04:59. | |
A life`size bronze statue of Gina has stood at the entrance to | :05:00. | :05:01. | |
Durrell's Headquarters since the opening of the new Visitor | :05:02. | :05:04. | |
A fitting tribute to a much`loved and now to be missed orangutan. | :05:05. | :05:11. | |
Safety fears for Jersey's air space and residents has lead to a new law | :05:12. | :05:14. | |
on small unmanned aircrafts, otherwise known as drones. | :05:15. | :05:17. | |
Up until now only model aircrafts have had to abide by regulations, | :05:18. | :05:21. | |
but as the popularity of these small aerial vehicles, used | :05:22. | :05:24. | |
to capture photos and videos grows, so does the concern of a collision. | :05:25. | :05:28. | |
Yes, I am ready to take off, so, if you are good to go are six minutes | :05:29. | :05:42. | |
in the air. Clear for take off | :05:43. | :05:44. | |
by air traffic control. Steve uses small unmanned aircrafts | :05:45. | :05:46. | |
to capture Jersey As he does this commercially, | :05:47. | :05:48. | |
he has to have a licence, but those They've had the freedom to fly | :05:49. | :05:52. | |
where they want, until today. A new law has come | :05:53. | :05:58. | |
into force to prevent collisions. These new regulations now mean that | :05:59. | :06:02. | |
small aerial vehicles cannot be used within fifty metres of any building, | :06:03. | :06:06. | |
vehicle or person unless they are They also can't fly above 400 feet, | :06:07. | :06:11. | |
and within two miles of the airport. In April there was the first ever UK | :06:12. | :06:19. | |
prosecution for breaking these rules Was what you do the sensible or | :06:20. | :06:30. | |
reckless? You need to be not over people, those risks that you have | :06:31. | :06:37. | |
articulated. If one was to malfunction, we don't want it | :06:38. | :06:38. | |
falling on somebody. when this drone flew over | :06:39. | :06:40. | |
a nuclear submarine facility Steve has also seen other wreckless | :06:41. | :06:44. | |
flying, so welcomes the new law. The law is of common sense as much | :06:45. | :07:02. | |
as anything. Anyone doing it commercially should not be tarnished | :07:03. | :07:06. | |
with a bad name for someone flying near the airport or in front of a | :07:07. | :07:09. | |
plane. The new law will also be applied to | :07:10. | :07:10. | |
Guernsey later this month, meaning all aircraft big or small | :07:11. | :07:12. | |
will land safely. You're watching the BBC | :07:13. | :07:22. | |
in the Channel Islands. Later in Spotlight with Justin | :07:23. | :07:25. | |

paralysed in an accident learning to The owner of a museum in Jersey says | :07:30. | :07:32. | |
he's worried for its future after a former nightclub site next | :07:33. | :07:40. | |
door is being sold to developers. The founder of the Channel Islands | :07:41. | :07:44. | |
Occupation Museum says he'll lose his power supply, parking spaces and | :07:45. | :07:47. | |
signage when Chateau Plaisir in St In a few weeks' time this site will | :07:48. | :07:51. | |
be demolished to make way And while the Military Museum | :07:52. | :08:11. | |
is staying, it'll have to It will leave me without | :08:12. | :08:21. | |
electricity. As we know, height of the season, it could have been | :08:22. | :08:28. | |
better times. But these things happen, I am hoping we can come to a | :08:29. | :08:38. | |
quick, swift solution. At the moment, when people use the museum | :08:39. | :08:45. | |
they can park here. But when the houses are built it will be lost. | :08:46. | :08:51. | |
Many are injured soldiers. I am worried that it will be too far for | :08:52. | :08:55. | |
these guys to walk. I hope we'll get dispensation. Hopefully the parish | :08:56. | :09:04. | |
doesn't mind. If their minibus was to be able to pull in them off that | :09:05. | :09:09. | |
would be fantastic. The new owner of the chateaux has told the | :09:10. | :09:22. | |
the museum has been here for a quarter of a century. The chateaux | :09:23. | :09:27. | |
will be demolished in the next few weeks. The owner hopes his life work | :09:28. | :09:31. | |
will not go with it. The showery weather we've been | :09:32. | :09:36. | |
having has meant perfect conditions for waterspouts to form over | :09:37. | :09:38. | |
the sea. Several have been spotted today, | :09:39. | :09:40. | |
including this one off Jersey's It's formed when | :09:41. | :09:42. | |

about that. Evening David. Will we see any of those crowds this | :09:55. | :09:58. | |
weekend? Probably not. It is a bit more stable. Non`around for | :09:59. | :10:05. | |

clouds developing in the second half of the day, the risk of showers. A | :10:18. | :10:23. | |
lot of cloud around on Sunday. Patchy light rain making an | :10:24. | :10:30. | |
appearance on Sunday. A decent weekend. Cloud affecting the far | :10:31. | :10:33. | |
North West of Scotland, that is where our weather is coming from | :10:34. | :10:37. | |
over the weekend. A line of cloud and rain on it. It moves into the | :10:38. | :10:44. | |
English Channel by the end of the day on Sunday. The air is coming | :10:45. | :10:51. | |
from the Arctic, so it will be quite chilly. Overnight, a lots of fine | :10:52. | :10:57. | |

glorious food. A festival welcomes thousands of visitors to the south. | :12:03. | :12:09. | |
A senior figure at Plymouth University is claiming | :12:10. | :12:11. | |
she's been forced out of her role as part of the ongoing dispute | :12:12. | :12:14. | |
In a statement today Barbara Bond criticises the University's Board | :12:15. | :12:18. | |
of Governors for the way they are running the university, and | :12:19. | :12:21. | |
for their decision to effectively suspend the Vice Chancellor Wendy | :12:22. | :12:23. | |
The university denies dismissing Mrs Bond. | :12:24. | :12:25. | |
Our correspondent Neil Gallacher is following this story | :12:26. | :12:27. | |
Let's start with Mrs Bond, who is she? She has held a number of senior | :12:28. | :12:40. | |
positions and is a former chairman of the governors. She has been an | :12:41. | :12:47. | |
ambassador, and is also an MBE. Her role as Chancellor came to end last | :12:48. | :12:53. | |
month but she said she was asked by Wendy Purcell to do another term. | :12:54. | :12:56. | |
The university has said that her role came to a natural end. She said | :12:57. | :13:01. | |
it was brought to an end. Barbara Bond has criticised the Board of | :13:02. | :13:08. | |
Governors. Yes, essentially. At the heart of this is a bitter dispute | :13:09. | :13:12. | |
between the chief executive Wendy Purcell and the chairman of the | :13:13. | :13:18. | |
board of governors, a retired judge. Wendy Purcell was placed on leave by | :13:19. | :13:20. | |
the board of governors last month and we do not know why. Today, | :13:21. | :13:25. | |
Barbara Bond is calling on the board to reinstate Wendy Purcell before | :13:26. | :13:29. | |
they do any more damage to the University. Mrs Bond has said she | :13:30. | :13:39. | |
has long`standing concerns about the questionable governance practice of | :13:40. | :13:42. | |
the University and she says the board lacks the experience. I gather | :13:43. | :13:47. | |
Mrs Bond has been in dialogue with the University's regulators? Yes, | :13:48. | :13:53. | |
Barbara Bond said she went to see the regulator. What is the | :13:54. | :14:01. | |
University saying? They say they strongly refute any suggestion that | :14:02. | :14:06. | |
the University is in crisis, and they point out that the university | :14:07. | :14:12. | |
was visited by the regulated and found no evidence to investigate | :14:13. | :14:15. | |
Barbara Bond's complaint for themselves. We know that the | :14:16. | :14:21. | |
regulator the deeds ask for the university to be investigated but | :14:22. | :14:30. | |
University have pointed out that the case against Wendy Purcell is | :14:31. | :14:32. | |
something for the university to investigate. We will watch this | :14:33. | :14:33. | |
space. South west fishermen are about to | :14:34. | :14:36. | |
begin further trials using CCTV to cut down on the amount of fish | :14:37. | :14:39. | |
being thrown back into the sea. They've told Spotlight they're keen | :14:40. | :14:42. | |
to reduce the overall amount of discards, but believe some | :14:43. | :14:45. | |
species such as young monkfish can have good survival rates | :14:46. | :14:47. | |
if they're returned to the sea. Our Environment Correspondent Adrian | :14:48. | :14:50. | |
Campbell reports. A small number of south`west vessels | :14:51. | :15:05. | |
have been fitted with CCTV and are being monitored to make sure they | :15:06. | :15:07. | |
bring back everything they catch. It is part of trials using different | :15:08. | :15:13. | |
net sizes which cuts the amount of fish being thrown back into the sea. | :15:14. | :15:18. | |
We are trying to ensure that certain species are not discarded. We | :15:19. | :15:26. | |
reviewed the footage from the cameras to make sure soul is not | :15:27. | :15:30. | |
discarded. This was filmed by fishermen. Many fishermen leave it | :15:31. | :15:35. | |
makes sense to throw them back into the sea. Juvenile monkfish are | :15:36. | :15:40. | |
susceptible to being caught in trawls. We are trying to highlight | :15:41. | :15:47. | |
the high survival rate of juvenile monkfish so they can be returned to | :15:48. | :15:53. | |
the sea in future. New European regulations to reduce the amount of | :15:54. | :15:57. | |
fish put back into the sea start to take effect from next year. There is | :15:58. | :16:01. | |
uncertainty about how these new rules will be enforced but fishermen | :16:02. | :16:05. | |
say they are worried that they will be expected to bring back every | :16:06. | :16:09. | |
single fish they catch, including those of no value. We will have | :16:10. | :16:16. | |
doctors and boxes of fish. `` boxes and boxes. Fishermen say they are | :16:17. | :16:22. | |
working with scientists to show that they are returning some fish the sea | :16:23. | :16:27. | |
and it can help conservation. Onto this evening's sport now and | :16:28. | :16:31. | |

your team`mates to recover from that agony? A long`time! I have come to | :18:10. | :18:17. | |

and acknowledgement have you received from people in the town? A | :18:22. | :18:25. | |
lot of support throughout the whole tournament. Old school teachers and | :18:26. | :18:37. | |

It feels quite weird when it is turned on. It makes funny noises. | :20:25. | :20:33. | |
Let me pop is on your leg. Suzanna is determined to stand up on both | :20:34. | :20:41. | |
legs. I will stand on it however long it takes. You are in control. | :20:42. | :20:52. | |
And your other leg, well done. Good, nice! Well done! Bring | :20:53. | :20:57. | |
yourself forward. Yes, beautiful. You have got it. Read. Well done. It | :20:58. | :21:08. | |
is the first time she has stood up in two years. I am very determined. | :21:09. | :21:15. | |
I am not going to let my leg lead! Yes, I will eat my leg. `` my leg | :21:16. | :21:28. | |

just some of the offerings at Plymouth's three day | :21:45. | :21:47. | |
Flavour Fest which is celebrating its 11th anniversary this year. | :21:48. | :21:49. | |
It's a chance to showcase the best of our regional produce | :21:50. | :21:52. | |
alongside demonstrations from some of the top names in gastromony. | :21:53. | :21:54. | |
John Henderson has been enjoying a saunter through the food stalls. | :21:55. | :22:04. | |
The Flavour Fest is back in Plymouth, and it is bigger than | :22:05. | :22:12. | |
ever. I can reach over and help myself to the best goodies. I need a | :22:13. | :22:20. | |
long drinking straw as well! Cheesy? How about some Cornish Gouda is to | :22:21. | :22:28. | |
mark it looks great and it is unusual, people have never seen | :22:29. | :22:35. | |
anything like it. There are 120 stands and highly entertaining | :22:36. | :22:39. | |
produce. In the cookery Theatre, some top`quality chefs. BBC Radio | :22:40. | :22:55. | |
Devon are here. Bill won the first round but an omelette hold it back. | :22:56. | :23:01. | |
If we are talking about a family omelette that a small child would | :23:02. | :23:10. | |
like, then fine. Mine was cooked in a Devon style. It was well travelled | :23:11. | :23:14. | |
across the cooking surface and onto the floor! Curry goat proved a hit | :23:15. | :23:24. | |
at lunch. An abundance of exotic flavours from the Caribbean. How | :23:25. | :23:29. | |
about washing it down with some blue brie? Eat, drink and be merry! Down | :23:30. | :23:39. | |
