Negotiators are at the scene and police say the man involved is

:00:18.:00:22.

Gavin Tate lives at Les Marais and gave us this update.

:00:23.:00:28.

I just went out into the stair well and the police told me to get back

:00:29.:00:35.

into my flat. When I look out the window, there is lots of people and

:00:36.:00:40.

police down the bottom. There is police cars and people looking out

:00:41.:00:45.

wondering what is going on. We will bring you more on that as we get it.

Jersey's Treasury Minister's defended budget plans for next year

:00:51.:00:52.

` despite claims there could be a shortfall of over ?90 million.

:00:53.:00:55.

Senator Philip Ozouf was accused today of being too optimistic with

:00:56.:00:58.

forecasts of how much money the States makes.

:00:59.:01:00.

Balancing the books ` that's the job of this man, the Treasury

:01:01.:01:03.

But the books aren't looking that balanced with a multi`million pound

:01:04.:01:07.

Today he faced questions in the States today over

:01:08.:01:10.

when he became aware that there'd be a shortfall between money coming

:01:11.:01:13.

Deputy Le Fondre says politicians should have been told

:01:14.:01:18.

We have had a significant down turn in the income forecast, particularly

:01:19.:01:30.

for 14 and 15 and I think for 13, 14 and 15 it is something like ?95

:01:31.:01:36.

million. The cop certains are if we had followed the prudent approach,

:01:37.:01:40.

the view is that we probably wouldn't be facing the level of

:01:41.:01:45.

difficulty that we are either about to face or are presently facing.

:01:46.:01:49.

Senator Ozouf's likened sorting Jersey's budget to predicting the

:01:50.:01:51.

weather ` the further ahead you try to forecast what will happen, the

:01:52.:01:55.

The first financial forecasts for the Budget 2015 were made

:01:56.:01:59.

around three years ago, but it was only in June this year that the

:02:00.:02:02.

Forecasts when you come to the actual will be different and we have

:02:03.:02:12.

known there has been huge turmoil in the international markets, which has

The budget debate income is reduced. e is

:02:19.:02:28.

Despite the shortfall between money coming in and

:02:29.:02:33.

politicians spending, the Treasury Minister remains optimistic,

:02:34.:02:35.

For the first time, Jersey's Care Inquiry into historic abuse has

:02:36.:02:39.

heard anonymous testimony from a woman who was in residential care.

:02:40.:02:41.

She told the panel, girls as young as six were made to

:02:42.:02:44.

work in a knitwear factory next to the Sacre Coeur children's home

:02:45.:02:47.

and she explained how they were punished if they made noise.

:02:48.:02:50.

Mrs A spoke to the panel from behind a screen which shielded her identity

:02:51.:02:54.

She described how she was sent to Sacre Coeur orphanage on two

:02:55.:02:59.

The worst punishment she'd experienced was having her bed sheet

:03:00.:03:03.

pulled tightly over her head and tucked under the mattress

:03:04.:03:06.

She said that was done if, for instance, you made

:03:07.:03:14.

She said children were expected to stay silent `

:03:15.:03:17.

She told the panel that even now she can't

:03:18.:03:22.

Although it never happened to her, she says while she was in

:03:23.:03:27.

Sacre Coeur another girl told her she was locked in

:03:28.:03:29.

The girl told her she was on her own and it was a form of punishment.

:03:30.:03:37.

She says she came to terms with her experiences through counselling,

:03:38.:03:40.

which she thinks can help stop victims turning to alcohol and drugs

:03:41.:03:43.

14 hour shifts with no breaks is a danger to the public.

:03:44.:04:00.

That's the claim of Guernsey bus drivers who are threatening

:04:01.:04:03.

industrial action if their working conditions aren't improved.

:04:04.:04:05.

The news comes as the bus operator CT Plus says

:04:06.:04:07.

for the first time the majority of its drivers in Guernsey are local.

:04:08.:04:10.

One told me he recently worked from 5.30

:04:11.:05:14.

It's just for the company, it's been a bumpy ride.

:05:15.:06:07.
