a new agreement between Jersey's largest teaching union

and education bosses is dished out. It promises that both sides will

forward workforce and public service reform in a genuine partnership

which means that the only ottcome can be the best for children and

young people. This partnership is also

:01:09.:01:10.

designed to stop this. Scenes from 2010, when teaching

:01:14.:01:27.

the threat of strike action? I hope so. Time will tell. We are still

:01:28.:01:32.

going to disagree, but this agreement will mean that we will

:01:33.:01:36.

have to sit down and talk it through, if we do disagree. All of

:01:37.:01:46.

this comes on the day when leading UK business people have been

:01:47.:01:58.

critical. The standard of state education is well below what it

:01:59.:02:01.

should be for an island of Jersey's incredible wealth. If education and

:02:02.:02:06.

training was improved, more local people would get the best jobs and

:02:07.:02:10.

Jersey would be less reliant on immigration. His words were quite

:02:11.:02:15.

strong, he said it was embarrassing? Indeed they wdre, but

:02:16.:02:19.

there are lots of great teachers, lots of great schools. Let's not

:02:20.:02:23.

criticise, let's talk about where we want to get to, and I think we have

:02:24.:02:27.

got agreement right across the community on that. People in the

:02:28.:02:33.

community today, signing thd agreement, say they are putting

local children first, which they say will help them get the top jobs on

the island in the years to come Guernsey has no tourism str`tegy `

:02:39.:02:43.

that's the damning verdict of the island's deputy treasury

:02:44.:02:45.

resources minister. He feels the tourism departlent s

:02:46.:02:48.

campaigns are not part of a dedicated strategy, and that

:02:49.:02:50.

there are still too many obstacles Do we don't we develop tourhst

:02:51.:03:03.

attractions, and in, new hotels Unless you are willing to consider

:03:04.:03:08.

these issues, then I do not think tourism will have more than a very

:03:09.:03:12.

limited capacity to contribtte to our economy.

:03:13.:03:14.

A development company has bden ordered to pay Jersey States' legal

:03:15.:03:17.

costs, after unsuccessfully trying to claim a ?100 million

:03:18.:03:21.

Harcourt built the Liberty Wharf shopping centre, and said it had an

:03:22.:03:27.

agreement to redevelop the Dsplanade car park into a finance centre.

:03:28.:03:30.

So when the work went elsewhere they took legal action.

:03:31.:03:32.

But an appeal court has dislissed the case, and ordered the company

:03:33.:03:35.

Meanwhile, there are new moves to redevelop an abandoned Victorian

:03:36.:03:40.

Previous failed attempts to transform Fort Tourgis have included

:03:41.:03:47.

flats, a luxury hotel, a casino and storage facility for pl`nes

:03:48.:03:50.

But now Alderney's Policy and Finance Committee say they are

:03:51.:03:53.

looking again at proposals for residential and mixed use,

:03:54.:03:56.

and that two developers havd expressed an interest.

:03:57.:04:00.

More than 1,000 Jersey schoolgirls are being taught how to look out

:04:01.:04:03.

It comes as a campaign begins to get women's health issues

:04:04.:04:08.

It is being spearheaded by Kris Hallenga, who set up the ch`rity

Jersey's Branchage film and arts festival has returned,

:04:22.:04:25.

and there is an arty event hn every corner of the island this wdekend.

:04:26.:04:28.

Emma Chambers has had a whistlestop tour at what's been on show so far.

on air from six tomorrow morning. I think we will have some of the

:06:05.:06:17.

best of the weather over thd British Isles over the next couple of days.

:06:18.:06:21.

We may have quite a bit of cloud to start with, but after it brdaks up,

:06:22.:06:29.

we will get some sunshine. We have got an area of high pressurd,

settled conditions. A coupld of fronts in there which will be

trapped for a short while tomorrow morning, and this cloud will break

from the south. It will feel warm in the sunshine. There is not ` great

:07:02.:07:11.

deal of change for Sunday. Sunday is fine and dry with some sunshine

:07:12.:07:16.

Perhaps a bit more cloud on Monday, and the small risk of a shower. But

:07:17.:07:21.

for the most part, warm and dry for the next four days.

:07:22.:07:37.

Good evening. Some very useable weather on offer this weekend in.

:07:38.:07:46.

Fact, most of September has been decent, and that's because our jet

:07:47.:07:49.

stream that drives our weather systems across the Atlantic has been

:07:50.:07:52.

driving them to the North West of the UK. So not much rain has made

:07:53.:07:58.

its way across our shores. By the same token, it's been quite warm,

:07:59.:08:02.

especially in the south. Little change to that pattern this weekend.

:08:03.:08:08.

Mainly dry with warm sunshine. We will pick up for fog than we've

seen. That
