comment on the latest video from Islamic State. Now though,

More families in Jersey are needing charitable help tonight

:00:12.:00:15.

Variety, a local children's charity, has given out ?30,000 worth

:00:16.:00:20.

of vouchers to help those struggling to afford every day essentials

:00:21.:00:22.

Getting ready to go back to school tomorrow.

:00:23.:00:30.

The summer holidays have come to an end for these children, so now

:00:31.:00:34.

A school jumper at ?13.50 doesn't sounds that much.

:00:35.:00:41.

But add a pair of trousers to that, a couple of shirts and a PE kit

:00:42.:00:45.

And for some families in Jersey, it's a struggle to afford.

:00:46.:00:54.

The Variety Club run a voucher system with shops to help

:00:55.:00:56.

This year they've had more requests for support costing thousand

:00:57.:01:00.

Just under 30,000 for this year. It will soon be approaching 40. It is

:01:01.:01:27.

an increase on last year. We fund raise all year round and we have to

:01:28.:01:28.

work harder and harder. This money has helped nearly 90

:01:29.:01:30.

families with every day essentials like food and clothes,

:01:31.:01:34.

including school uniform. It is busier at this time of year

:01:35.:01:47.

and we have had up to 40 people with vouchers. For the rest of the year,

:01:48.:01:49.

five a month. Chris owns a uniform shop

:01:50.:01:53.

and with uniforms costing between 50 and ?100, parents are

:01:54.:01:55.

pleased there is support on offer. The kids are just starting and they

:01:56.:02:06.

have to get everything here. It is good if you have flexibility and it

:02:07.:02:10.

doesn't have to be expensive and you can have a cheaper option.

:02:11.:02:15.

So while wearing school uniforms may make children look equal, hopefully

:02:16.:02:18.

the financial support will help even out the costs for families too.

:02:19.:02:22.

Jersey's Hospice will be able to care

:02:23.:02:23.

for islanders with any life`ending illness in future, expanding

:02:24.:02:26.

its services from only dealing with Motor Neurone Disease and cancers.

:02:27.:02:29.

The health department is giving the organisation more than ?800,000

:02:30.:02:33.

this year, and more next year, to pay towards the work.

:02:34.:02:37.

The money will be used to give care to people at the Hospice,

:02:38.:02:40.

at the hospital, and even in their own homes.

:02:41.:02:49.

At this difficult stage of anyone's life, having the right care, support

:02:50.:03:00.

not only for the family but for the patient, to make sure it is pain

:03:01.:03:06.

controlled, it is where they wish to be. With that working well with

:03:07.:03:12.

Jersey Hospice care, the most important thing is all patients,

:03:13.:03:17.

whatever their condition, when they get to that difficult spade ``

:03:18.:03:19.

stage, they get the support. Jersey's government's allocating

:03:20.:03:22.

an extra ?150,000 towards the transition of Jersey Tourism to

:03:23.:03:25.

the group Visit Jersey. Most of the money, ?90,000,

:03:26.:03:27.

will be spent on consultants' fees. Earlier this year it was suggested

:03:28.:03:30.

that Jersey Tourism should become A day

:03:31.:03:32.

after a new race discrimination law came into force in Jersey,

:03:33.:03:38.

there are calls in Guernsey tonight The new rules

:03:39.:03:41.

in Jersey protect islanders from intolerance towards skin

:03:42.:03:46.

colour, nationality, and ethnicity. Jen Smith's been to meet to one

:03:47.:03:48.

Guernsey woman who was made to feel uncomfortable and out of place

:03:49.:03:52.

when she first moved to the island. Ayo didn't travel too far

:03:53.:03:57.

when she first moved to Guernsey 12 The finance worker came from London

:03:58.:04:01.

to be with her husband who's Being darker than everybody else, I

:04:02.:04:18.

did stick out a bit more and I found people stared a bit. I didn't like

:04:19.:04:23.

it because I like to blend in. It was a bit of a shock to the system.

:04:24.:04:32.

Now Jersey's brought in a race discrimination law

:04:33.:04:34.

there's increasing pressure in Guernsey to do the same.

:04:35.:04:36.

Guernsey politician Deputy Chris Green wants the States

:04:37.:04:38.

It is good practice to have this as part of our law and it is sending a

:04:39.:04:52.

clear message to say Guernsey is a society that promotes opportunity

:04:53.:04:56.

for everybody in society. It is wrong in this day and age that

:04:57.:05:01.

employers, theoretically, are allowed to discriminate against the

:05:02.:05:05.

grounds of race or nationality. But while there aren't plans

:05:06.:05:08.

in Guernsey for a race law, the Chief Minister says it's not

:05:09.:05:11.

being ignored. It is part of the social ecology

:05:12.:05:21.

groups work stream but we have decided that disability and

:05:22.:05:24.

inclusion which affect a large amount of people in Guernsey is more

:05:25.:05:29.

important at this moment. We are concentrating on that.

:05:30.:05:31.

Ayo is no longer stared at in the street.

:05:32.:05:33.

She believes Guernsey's a tolerant place.

:05:34.:05:35.

It's just the law that's yet to catch up.

:05:36.:05:40.

Work to repair one of Guernsey's main sea walls should be completed

:05:41.:05:43.

This was the hole that was left following the winter storms.

:05:44.:05:47.

But as you can see the scene is very different today.

:05:48.:05:50.

The Environment department is overseeing the rebuilding work after
