Good evening, I'm Charlie McArdle, welcome to BBC Channel Islands. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Maternity misconduct - Tribunal hears the death of a baby | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
at Guernsey's hospital may have been prevented. | :00:09. | :00:12. | |
Substantial increase, a call for tighter control | :00:13. | :00:14. | |
The numbers we have seen are all concern to us. We want to ensure | :00:15. | :00:31. | |
that we are able to support people at the right level but also ensure | :00:32. | :00:33. | |
we do not have too many people coming to the island. | :00:34. | :00:35. | |
And you may have heard the mention of snow in the forecast because of | :00:36. | :00:48. | |
this area of low pressure on Thursday. Well the Channel Islands | :00:49. | :00:50. | |
see find out later. The death of a baby born | :00:51. | :00:56. | |
on Guernsey's maternity ward 'may have been prevented' had a previous | :00:57. | :00:59. | |
incident been properly investigated, Three midwives are facing | :01:00. | :01:01. | |
charges of misconduct Mike Wilkins has been following this | :01:02. | :01:10. | |
case and joins us now from our Guernsey newsroom, | :01:11. | :01:14. | |
so Mike just remind us how we got Well, the sad starting point | :01:15. | :01:17. | |
of this story is the death It happened in 2014 | :01:18. | :01:24. | |
at the Princess Elizabeth Hospital. Following the death, | :01:25. | :01:29. | |
all members of the then Health and It was and continues to be | :01:30. | :01:31. | |
a very shocking moment A major review was then carried out | :01:32. | :01:36. | |
by the nursing watchdog the Nursing This highlighted a series | :01:37. | :01:41. | |
of problems throughout But up until today we still didn't | :01:42. | :01:46. | |
know why that baby died and the circumstances | :01:47. | :01:50. | |
surrounding its death. So what happened | :01:51. | :01:54. | |
at the hearing today? Three Guernsey midwives | :01:55. | :01:57. | |
are charged with misconduct. Adult nurse Lisa Granville, | :01:58. | :01:59. | |
Antonia Manousaki, They were working on the | :02:00. | :02:03. | |
Loveridge Ward when a child, referred to only as Baby A, | :02:04. | :02:08. | |
was born just after midnight This desperately ill baby required | :02:09. | :02:11. | |
resuscitation and died An internal investigation | :02:12. | :02:15. | |
conducted by Granville, who was then head of risk | :02:16. | :02:20. | |
management, found 'no significant difficulties in care delivery' | :02:21. | :02:23. | |
and no further action was taken. But an investigation by the local | :02:24. | :02:28. | |
authority found that the baby's heartbeat hadn't been properly | :02:29. | :02:30. | |
monitored and its condition should've been reported | :02:31. | :02:32. | |
to a consultant. The NMC said the midwives | :02:33. | :02:36. | |
administered medication And there were claims | :02:37. | :02:38. | |
that the baby's death Yes it emerged today that another | :02:39. | :02:44. | |
Baby, referred to as Baby B, The NMC says that had | :02:45. | :02:51. | |
the death of Baby B been adequately investigated, | :02:52. | :02:57. | |
then the death of baby A may I have to stress that all three | :02:58. | :02:59. | |
midwives accept some of the charges against them but also deny | :03:00. | :03:06. | |
some of them. The hearing's expected | :03:07. | :03:08. | |
to last four weeks. New measures are being brought | :03:09. | :03:18. | |
in to cut the number of migrants Big companies with lots of non-local | :03:19. | :03:23. | |
staff could have some Ministers say it's needed to control | :03:24. | :03:26. | |
the island's population, Migrant workers fill | :03:27. | :03:32. | |
many of the posts in this hotel, as they do in much | :03:33. | :03:42. | |
of Jersey's hospitality sector. But now, there's to be | :03:43. | :03:46. | |
a cut-down on work licences. In Jersey you need a licence | :03:47. | :03:49. | |
to hire a migrant worker. After 5 years, they can work | :03:50. | :03:52. | |
anywhere, and the licence can be used to bring another worker | :03:53. | :03:56. | |
into the island. But the States are going to review | :03:57. | :03:58. | |
all big businesses to see if some of their licences can be | :03:59. | :04:02. | |
gradually taken away. We've got to work carefully | :04:03. | :04:04. | |
with them to encourage them to employ as many local people | :04:05. | :04:07. | |
as possible and not to automatically think they need a new licence | :04:08. | :04:10. | |
to bring additional people We've got to do something to control | :04:11. | :04:13. | |
the population and we believe this mechanism will do a good | :04:14. | :04:21. | |
job in achieving that. And the population's grown well | :04:22. | :04:23. | |
beyond the States' predictions. Despite plans for 325 | :04:24. | :04:25. | |
new workers a year, in 2015 there were around 1,500, | :04:26. | :04:28. | |
with final figures for 2016 But the Chamber of Commerce fears | :04:29. | :04:32. | |
the impact on businesses that can't find the skills or staff they need | :04:33. | :04:38. | |
within the island. assurances to businesses that | :04:39. | :04:50. | |
if a company can prove they've absolutely tried to source | :04:51. | :04:53. | |
an employee locally and they can't do that there is flexibility | :04:54. | :04:56. | |
in the system in terms of bringing We need to try and sort jobs for the | :04:57. | :05:07. | |
local workforce before we put -- look elsewhere. We have got to look | :05:08. | :05:14. | |
after our people that are already resident on the island. | :05:15. | :05:16. | |
Whatever the public appetite for them, the question | :05:17. | :05:17. | |
is will the new measures actually work in controlling the island's | :05:18. | :05:20. | |
A man has been arrested on suspicion of armed robbery. | :05:21. | :05:27. | |
The arrest follows the incident at Temple Stores | :05:28. | :05:29. | |
in St Helier last week, where a shop owner was held | :05:30. | :05:32. | |
at knife point as cash and phones were stolen. | :05:33. | :05:34. | |
Jersey Police say they have a thirty one year old man in custody. | :05:35. | :05:43. | |
Loss of business and loss of staff - that's the concerns of employers | :05:44. | :05:46. | |
in a Jersey trading estate following a Government | :05:47. | :05:48. | |
The Rue des Pres estate was littered with rusty, abandoned cars | :05:49. | :05:52. | |
Most have been removed but replaced with huge charges | :05:53. | :05:55. | |
Rusty, unloved, and bad for business. | :05:56. | :06:06. | |
The government told the owners of these abandoned vehicles | :06:07. | :06:08. | |
to remove them or they'd be towed from this trading estate. | :06:09. | :06:12. | |
Most of them have now gone, but they've been replaced | :06:13. | :06:15. | |
with a hefty parking charge that business owners say | :06:16. | :06:18. | |
I think going from nothing for our staff who've been here - | :06:19. | :06:23. | |
some of them have been here 20-30 years, | :06:24. | :06:25. | |
they've never had to pay for the parking and now they'll have | :06:26. | :06:29. | |
to pay or face paying up to ?123 a month, it's just not affordable | :06:30. | :06:32. | |
so some of them will consider seeking alternative | :06:33. | :06:34. | |
employment which will be detrimental to the business. | :06:35. | :06:38. | |
Richard's also worried he'll have to find staff to replace the ones | :06:39. | :06:41. | |
I'm really happy here, I like my job, I like what I'm doing | :06:42. | :06:46. | |
but I can't afford to pay more than ?100 a month. | :06:47. | :06:48. | |
These concerns have been put to the minister in charge of roads | :06:49. | :06:54. | |
and parking who says the money will pay for upkeep. | :06:55. | :06:57. | |
We have to recoup the costs of maintaining the estate | :06:58. | :07:00. | |
and policing it and there are some quite lumpy capital sums that | :07:01. | :07:03. | |
are involved in that to maintain the roads, | :07:04. | :07:05. | |
to resurface the roads etc it's got to be self financing. | :07:06. | :07:07. | |
So we said that the maximum will be ?123 if the costs were more | :07:08. | :07:11. | |
than that then we'll have to cut our cloth to fit | :07:12. | :07:13. | |
but if it's less than that then we'll charge less. | :07:14. | :07:16. | |
While efforts to clean up the estate are appreciated, | :07:17. | :07:18. | |
until a cheap solution is found - Workers here will have | :07:19. | :07:20. | |
Jersey airport has reached a 16 year high in passenger numbers, just | :07:21. | :07:40. | |
under 16 million passengers passed -- passed through last year, an | :07:41. | :07:44. | |
increase of 20,000 from last year. The highest number recorded since | :07:45. | :07:45. | |
the year 2000. Musicians in Jersey are calling | :07:46. | :07:48. | |
for more places to perform. The Songwriters Society was formed | :07:49. | :07:50. | |
last year to help songwriters It's latest event was a sell out, | :07:51. | :07:53. | |
showing there's a real thirst for original local music | :07:54. | :07:57. | |
as Elisa Da Silva found out. Local talent, playing to a local | :07:58. | :08:02. | |
audience in a uniquely local venue. The Lido at Harve des Pas was home | :08:03. | :08:04. | |
to a swell of sound waves as singer songwriters | :08:05. | :08:09. | |
strummed their original music. The Songwriters Society | :08:10. | :08:15. | |
is a collaboration project The event is being praised by Jersey | :08:16. | :08:23. | |
musicians working in the UK. I think local musicians | :08:24. | :08:29. | |
themselves are doing a lot, I think that i'd always drum | :08:30. | :08:31. | |
about the venues, more and more venues even smaller venues | :08:32. | :08:34. | |
but decent venues with decent stage and decent sound system | :08:35. | :08:37. | |
like you've got here tonight we just need more of that - | :08:38. | :08:39. | |
it will encourage young I think we need to support | :08:40. | :08:42. | |
local artists a lot more, so actually I think these kind | :08:43. | :08:53. | |
of events are fantastic because actually we get to see | :08:54. | :08:56. | |
what Jersey has to offer. It struggles a bit with venues | :08:57. | :08:58. | |
etcetera but there's so much talent of the songwriters society hosted | :08:59. | :09:01. | |
by local musician David Keenan. He hopes to continue it | :09:02. | :09:12. | |
onto 2017 and inspire local I think there aren't any venues | :09:13. | :09:14. | |
where you can share a heartfelt song that's taken you time to write maybe | :09:15. | :09:27. | |
when it's in a band it's got energy you can take it back | :09:28. | :09:31. | |
there and you can play with it at festivals and stuff but I think | :09:32. | :09:34. | |
they're happy to have It seems the success | :09:35. | :09:36. | |
of the night has re-ignited the spark in both | :09:37. | :09:40. | |
listener and performer. With the songwriters | :09:41. | :09:44. | |
society lighting the way, the 2017 music scene | :09:45. | :09:46. | |
is looking brighter. Elisa Da Silva, BBC | :09:47. | :09:49. | |
Channel Islands News, Jersey. Many people have written | :09:50. | :09:56. | |
songs about the weather We'll with David Braine it's | :09:57. | :09:58. | |
bound to be a number one. I have been tempting you, I think | :09:59. | :10:18. | |
the only white thing we are likely to see is perhaps a few high | :10:19. | :10:23. | |
showers, perhaps some frost but snow will be elusive. It is finely | :10:24. | :10:27. | |
balanced at the moment, I come to Thursdays forecast in just a moment. | :10:28. | :10:32. | |
Tomorrow will be windy, winds increasing overnight. There will be | :10:33. | :10:38. | |
rain around. It will be brighter by the afternoon because this weather | :10:39. | :10:46. | |
front is one -- the first of two. This moves into another advance the | :10:47. | :10:49. | |
foot of the afternoon and introduces cold air. There is another weather | :10:50. | :10:53. | |
system that will drop down from the north and development into an area | :10:54. | :10:56. | |
of low pressure on Thursday. That is the one that is giving us a really | :10:57. | :11:00. | |
big headache because the risk of call the northern edge that area of | :11:01. | :11:04. | |
low pressure as it develops and it is capable of producing some sleet | :11:05. | :11:12. | |
or snow. How much, we will see. Showers possible overnight, it will | :11:13. | :11:16. | |
be generally quite a mild night and we could get into single figures at | :11:17. | :11:23. | |
eight or 9 degrees. He windy day tomorrow, the winds from the West | :11:24. | :11:26. | |
and north-west and a scattering of showers in the morning and then | :11:27. | :11:30. | |
brighter and drier conditions into the afternoon but it does remain | :11:31. | :11:33. | |
quite breezy and it will feel quite cold by the end of the day. Seven or | :11:34. | :11:39. | |
8 degrees. This is Thursdays forecast, the front coming in from | :11:40. | :11:43. | |
the North develops an area of low pressure for us, it could be a windy | :11:44. | :11:46. | |
affair free time on Thursday and just as the band of cloud and | :11:47. | :11:51. | |
predominantly rain moves away and up towards Belgium, there are a few | :11:52. | :11:55. | |
wintry showers that will follow perhaps even the odd hail shower | :11:56. | :11:59. | |
across the island as we move into the evening on Thursday evening. | :12:00. | :12:02. | |
That is when the call the arrives. These are times of high water for | :12:03. | :12:09. | |
tomorrow. Choppy conditions for our surfers, the biggest waves will be | :12:10. | :12:12. | |
along the northern shores of Guernsey. The Windsor | :12:13. | :12:17. | |
north-westerly, Force five or 46, the visibility good to occasionally | :12:18. | :12:21. | |
moderate. Thursday is mainly rain but a big drop in temperatures for | :12:22. | :12:27. | |
Friday and Saturday. Thank you. Tantalisingly close but | :12:28. | :12:30. | |
no need for the snow shoes. I will see you at eight. | :12:31. | :12:33. | |
this is the stage of the programme we usually get very hungry, | :12:34. | :12:38. | |
which is fortuitous as in a moment we'll be meeting a woman | :12:39. | :12:41. | |
who could be an award-winning dinner lady. | :12:42. | :12:42. | |

A dinner lady from South Devon is about to go head-to-head with six | :13:02. | :13:04. | |
others in the hope of being crowned the best School Chef | :13:05. | :13:06. | |
The challenge is to make a main meal and dessert and the winner | :13:07. | :13:11. | |
will go on to compete for the national title. | :13:12. | :13:14. | |
Catherine Deane makes dinners each day for the children | :13:15. | :13:18. | |
at Yealmpton Primary School, and has enlisted the help of some | :13:19. | :13:20. | |
This is going to make me feel hungry. | :13:21. | :13:28. | |
Spotlight's John Ayres has been to see her cooking up a storm. | :13:29. | :13:31. | |
A lot has been made in recent years about the importance of school food. | :13:32. | :13:35. | |
Nutritious and healthy meals help children to concentrate, | :13:36. | :13:37. | |
and hopefully they will lead healthier lives in the future. | :13:38. | :13:39. | |
So school chefs like Catherine Deane are putting | :13:40. | :13:42. |
