A ?95 million deficit over three years, and books that don't balance. | :00:12. | :00:16. | |
Those are the criticisms levelled at Jersey's Treasury Minister today, | :00:17. | :00:18. | |
as he asked the States to approve his Budget for next year. | :00:19. | :00:21. | |
It shows States income is less than it's spending, leaving many | :00:22. | :00:24. | |
That's the States' expected income next year. | :00:25. | :00:34. | |
And Jersey's States is looking at about a ?30 million shortfall. | :00:35. | :00:46. | |
The Treasury Minister Senator Philip Ozouf's already ruled out increasing | :00:47. | :00:49. | |
income tax or GST, so how he'll cover that shortfall is | :00:50. | :00:54. | |
He wants to increase impot duties on alcohol, tobacco and fuel, | :00:55. | :01:01. | |
and he wants to raise stamp duty on expensive homes. | :01:02. | :01:04. | |
And then there are plans to make ?20 million of spending cuts | :01:05. | :01:07. | |
When your income is under threat, you do not stand there like a fly | :01:08. | :01:23. | |
waiting for a windscreen. You invest, you build, you bring forward | :01:24. | :01:26. | |
projects you need to do in the future. Expenditure is going up like | :01:27. | :01:35. | |
that. We have lost the connection between income and expenditure. You | :01:36. | :01:40. | |
and I in our private lives, you know, we'll endeavour not to spend | :01:41. | :01:46. | |
more than we earn. But the States at the moment is just sort of... There | :01:47. | :01:49. | |
is no connection between our income and spending. | :01:50. | :01:50. | |
This is a budget that's being described as interim ` | :01:51. | :01:52. | |
because what's decided in the States this week won't be adopted | :01:53. | :01:55. | |
Senator Ozouf easily survived a vote of no confidence over | :01:56. | :01:58. | |
the plans recently, and he'll be hoping he can persuade | :01:59. | :02:01. | |
Co`op shareholders are being asked to save the jobs | :02:02. | :02:26. | |
of nearly 80 warehouse workers facing redundancy. | :02:27. | :02:28. | |
The company announced on Friday that it's closing its food distribution | :02:29. | :02:30. | |
This food warehouse in Jersey stood still this morning as | :02:31. | :02:35. | |
Co`op workers met with their union after they were told | :02:36. | :02:38. | |
the food warehouses in the Channel Islands are closing next | :02:39. | :02:40. | |
summer, putting their jobs at risk ` 23 in Guernsey and 58 in Jersey. | :02:41. | :02:44. | |
The warehouse workers wouldn't comment on camera. | :02:45. | :02:45. | |
They said the meeting went well, they've taken all the information | :02:46. | :02:48. | |
on board and now they are taking action to save their jobs. | :02:49. | :02:51. | |
The employees of the customer`owned company are now | :02:52. | :02:53. | |
I will be asking for an emergency meeting of the shareholders and we | :02:54. | :03:06. | |
are going to put our case to the shareholders and I think it is | :03:07. | :03:09. | |
important that the shareholders determine whether the proposals to | :03:10. | :03:15. | |
outsource the business and to make 70 redundancies is appropriate or | :03:16. | :03:16. | |
not. And now there's even more jobs | :03:17. | :03:17. | |
at risk. The Co`op is closing this | :03:18. | :03:19. | |
sport shop in St Peter. We work approached with an offer for | :03:20. | :03:28. | |
the building which we felt was a good offer and one we needed to | :03:29. | :03:34. | |
consider. So what we've done with our colleagues at the shop is be | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
honest and upfront with them and say we are minded to accept this offer | :03:39. | :03:41. | |
and that will have a material impact on their roles. | :03:42. | :03:42. | |
Guernsey employees facing redundancy are meeting with | :03:43. | :03:44. | |
They want the local company to be more locally minded. | :03:45. | :03:47. | |
Co`op bosses say there will be job opportunities in their new store, | :03:48. | :03:50. | |
at the former GT Cars site in Guernsey as well as | :03:51. | :03:53. | |
But with only 50 jobs available, not everyone will necessarily get one. | :03:54. | :04:05. | |
Police in Thailand say they plan to carry out DNA tests on all men | :04:06. | :04:09. | |
on the island where Jerseyman David Miller and Hannah Witheridge from | :04:10. | :04:11. | |
They said they are looking for three or possibly more men. | :04:12. | :04:21. | |
A multi`million pound project to regenerate | :04:22. | :04:22. | |
a derelict site destroyed by fire has been given the green light. | :04:23. | :04:25. | |
Guernsey's Environment Department has granted permission to build | :04:26. | :04:27. | |
a luxury hotel on the former Idle Rocks site in St Martins, | :04:28. | :04:30. | |
Over ten years ago, the Idlerocks Hotel was ravaged | :04:31. | :04:33. | |
Following a second fire two syear ago, parts of the hotel's | :04:34. | :04:39. | |
It's long been an eyesore, and permission has just been granted | :04:40. | :04:44. | |
to transform it into five`star hotel. | :04:45. | :04:49. | |
The plans include 35 en`suite bedrooms, a spa, restaurant and | :04:50. | :04:53. | |
This is an eco`friendly hotel. It has a green roof and green walls. It | :04:54. | :05:09. | |
has been purposely designed to building with the topography and | :05:10. | :05:12. | |
landscape of the site. We have designed something which will be | :05:13. | :05:15. | |
having minimal impact on the landscape. | :05:16. | :05:20. | |
The owners of the site have to meet certain | :05:21. | :05:22. | |
conditions, such as allow the States archaeologist access to the site, | :05:23. | :05:25. | |
Guernsey's National Trust has voiced concerns and says it'll be | :05:26. | :05:28. | |
There are conditions imposed on the planning application which have been | :05:29. | :05:41. | |
approved, and no doubt, we will be very interested to see how it | :05:42. | :05:43. | |
develops. The hotel is expected to be | :05:44. | :05:43. | |
completed within three years, a big investment hoping to | :05:44. | :05:46. | |
attract big spenders to Guernsey. Have a look at this film, full of | :05:47. | :06:06. | |
flashes, of Friday night's lightning storm. We thought it was pretty | :06:07. | :06:07. | |
special. The weather. Starting to feel a bit more autumnal | :06:08. | :06:20. | |
now. The colder night tonight than recently. Perhaps more of a breeze | :06:21. | :06:23. | |
developing this week as well. Temperatures have already come down. | :06:24. | :06:29. | |
Tomorrow is another fine and dry day with the sunshine. A top temperature | :06:30. | :06:34. | |
of 17 or 18 degrees. Overnight tonight, that patchy cloud tending | :06:35. | :06:39. | |
to melt away overnight. Perhaps low cloud appearing in the morning but | :06:40. | :06:41. | |
it should be dry and cold. Temperatures down to 12 degrees and | :06:42. | :06:46. | |
for tomorrow, light wind to start with an patchy cloud. Sunshine | :06:47. | :06:49. | |
breaking through that and the wind picking up somewhat in the | :06:50. | :06:52. | |
afternoon. They become north`westerly by the end of the | :06:53. | :06:56. | |
afternoon soap maximum temperatures of around 17 or 18 degrees. The | :06:57. | :07:00. | |
outlook is for more cloud in general to develop towards the end of the | :07:01. | :07:06. | |
week. I think it is still dry story although on Wednesday we have the | :07:07. | :07:11. | |
remains of a weather system bringing cloud across. Slow to move away. It | :07:12. | :07:15. | |
brightens up on Thursday and Friday. Quite a bit of cloud around and | :07:16. | :07:19. | |
breeze developing. Wind mainly from the West over the next three or four | :07:20. | :07:24. | |
days. In a second, full forecast for the United Kingdom. From the Channel | :07:25. | :07:27. | |
Islands, good night. Temperatures are not bad for the | :07:28. | :07:33. | |
time of year. For much of the UK, this week will | :07:34. | :07:48. | |
stay drier than average and warmer than average. We normally expect | :07:49. | :07:52. | |
temperatures of around 22 degrees, but by the end of the week we could | :07:53. | :07:57. | |
get into the low 20s. With clear skies at this time of year, it does | :07:58. | :08:01. | |
turn chilly through the evening. More cloud in the north, with a weak | :08:02. | :08:05. | |
weather front producing patchy and light rain. Temperatures should stay | :08:06. | :08:15. | |
in double figures underneath that area of cloud. To the north and | :08:16. | :08:20. | |
south, we are getting fairly close to freezing in the countryside, so a | :08:21. | :08:24. | |
chilly start tomorrow morning. Also the | :08:25. | :08:25. |
