A new vision for education, but who was consulted?

:00:00.:00:16.

Good evening and welcome to the late news from

:00:17.:00:21.

The Ports of Jersey would have preferred Gatwick.

:00:22.:00:36.

Will Heathrow's expansion hdlp the Channel Islands?

:00:37.:00:47.

The split over the future of Guernsey's education

:00:48.:00:49.

Three of the five Education Committee members have

:00:50.:00:53.

They want a non-selective sxstem with the Grammar School and College

:00:54.:00:58.

Seven months ago, the last government voted for changes to the

:00:59.:01:06.

The 11 plus was on its way out and the island would

:01:07.:01:11.

But a few weeks later, the public had

:01:12.:01:15.

Many of the current politicians were elected on

:01:16.:01:19.

Since then the education committee has been divided.

:01:20.:01:27.

The president wants the deb`te revisited in November but the

:01:28.:01:29.

vice president presented his own vision.

:01:30.:01:32.

We are going to try and keep class sizes exactly where they ard

:01:33.:01:35.

We would look to try and prdserve the best elements of the

:01:36.:01:44.

He is proposing an end to sdlection, but the grammar school

:01:45.:01:48.

and college of further educ`tion should be merged into a higher

:01:49.:01:52.

The head of the grammar school PTA said she is

:01:53.:01:59.

surprised and the plan has dmerged without any consultation.

:02:00.:02:03.

It is random statements that don't have any foundation.

:02:04.:02:14.

There is no research, no public consultation.

:02:15.:02:21.

It needs evidence-based research, needs public

:02:22.:02:25.

meetings and consultation which they will no way manage to do

:02:26.:02:28.

Politicians will make a binding decision on the future of

:02:29.:02:31.

This man is hoping this last-ditch attempt will sway the debatd.

:02:32.:02:35.

Airlines serving the Channel Islands have welcomed the news that

:02:36.:02:37.

Heathrow, rather than Gatwick is the favoured option

:02:38.:02:39.

for a third runway.BBC Transport Correspondent Paul Clifton

:02:40.:02:47.

was at Gatwick airport, and I asked him about the implications

:02:48.:02:50.

Almost half the passengers here use easyJet.

:02:51.:02:58.

Both easyJet and Flybe said they didn't want a second

:02:59.:03:00.

runway at Gatwick because it would be paid for through higher landing

:03:01.:03:03.

They wanted the extra runwax at Heathrow and they were

:03:04.:03:11.

both like to run flights from the Channel Islands

:03:12.:03:13.

into Heathrow if and when a third runway has been built.

:03:14.:03:20.

I think Gatwick would have been a more compelling

:03:21.:03:26.

It was half the cost on land already set aside and didn't mean hdavy

:03:27.:03:32.

Jersey is very well served with the connectivity.

:03:33.:03:39.

We have to be cautious at this stage because we don't even know when

:03:40.:03:43.

There will be a period of consultation for about a year.

:03:44.:03:46.

After that the government will consider

:03:47.:03:48.

Then there will be a vote in the House of Commons.

:03:49.:03:57.

After that there could follow four years of formal planning process.

:03:58.:04:00.

During that period there will be protests and

:04:01.:04:02.

The very earliest a new runway could open at Heathrow

:04:03.:04:08.

Don't expect direct flights from Guernsey and Jersey to Heathrow

:04:09.:04:19.

As demolition work begins at the Jungle camp in Calais,

:04:20.:04:23.

the French plan to disperse migrants has brought one group

:04:24.:04:25.

to a village in Normandy, a few miles from the islands.

:04:26.:04:28.

Roisin Gauson reports on th`t development and on one islander s

Four hours Drive from Calais, this group of migrants arrive at another

:04:37.:04:45.

of the Jungle camp for warm beds and fresh food.

:04:46.:04:47.

This is the Hotel Miramar, empty at this time of year,

:04:48.:04:53.

where a local team have been working to ensure the new arrivals `re made

:04:54.:04:56.

This tiny village has less than 1000 residents.

:04:57.:05:02.

It's on the coast, 30 miles from Cherbourg

:05:03.:05:07.

and on a clear day you can see jersey on the horizon.

:05:08.:05:10.

The mayor has supported the decision to

:05:11.:05:14.

transfer migrants here, but do villagers agree?

:05:15.:05:20.

80% of the houses are empty in this part of the year.

:05:21.:05:31.

I am concerned for the people because we are not sure if the will

:05:32.:05:42.

It is a human reflex to welcome them.

:05:43.:05:58.

Across the water in Guernsey, one island

:05:59.:06:04.

has seen the plight of refugees at close hand.

:06:05.:06:06.

Sarah Griffiths works hard to provide support for those in need.

:06:07.:06:09.

When they are dumped, if yot like, which is what it must feel like

into either a camp or on the streets, and some of them are

:06:20.:06:29.

on the streets in Thessalonhki because I have seen them for myself.

:06:30.:06:32.

Suddenly they have lost everything, lost all hope.

:06:33.:06:35.

Back in Normandy, the new arrivals can apply for asylum in France.

:06:36.:06:39.

But the pull of the UK remahns strong and their glimpses of

:06:40.:06:42.

the Channel Islands may prove a temptation they cannot resist

:06:43.:06:48.

In Jersey, one of the island's s senior judges has said he does not

want Jersey seen as a back door for illegal migration into the TK. A

the answer is 20 mile an hotr zones in key places,

:08:57.:09:21.

We have had some lovely sun rises over the last couple of days this

:09:22.:09:27.

morning across Guernsey. Sole beautiful blue sky. It has not

stayed that way. There is more cloud around through the night to come.

to see that lift but it may take a while before we break through the

low cloud. Once it does go we should get some sunny spells and vdry light

winds. Top temperature 15. The forecast as we go through the rest

of the week is similar. Thursday morning the same problem with mist

the cloud will break up but it won't be too early afternoon before the

are losing last week's Easterly winds and now a westerly wind. That

means it's turning milder by day and night but it does mean the return of

Atlantic weather fronts, especially to north-western parts of the UK.
