Guernsey greenhouse gas emissions are down BUT it's not all good news. | :00:12. | :00:15. | |
Good evening and welcome to the late news from BBC Channel Islands - | :00:16. | :00:18. | |
Also tonight... Private nurseries in Jersey say | :00:19. | :00:26. | |
they need guaranteed States funding if they're to survive. | :00:27. | :00:32. | |
I think it's the lack of communication and what's going on, | :00:33. | :00:38. | |
it could impact people severely, taking away that funding is going to | :00:39. | :00:42. | |
have a massive impact and I'm not sure they've talked about those | :00:43. | :00:43. | |
wider implications. New figures show Guernsey's | :00:44. | :00:48. | |
cut its greenhouse gas But despite the report | :00:49. | :00:50. | |
showing an encouraging reduction in emission levels, | :00:51. | :00:53. | |
there's no time to be complacent, Guernsey will soon be exporting | :00:54. | :00:55. | |
its non-recyclable waste to Sweden. But the island's landfill sites | :00:56. | :01:03. | |
are still causing problems. The emissions from this rubbish | :01:04. | :01:05. | |
contribute to the totals. The three worst emissions offenders | :01:06. | :01:09. | |
are waste, accounting for 29%. Transport, contributing | :01:10. | :01:16. | |
more than 26%. And energy power generation - | :01:17. | :01:18. | |
pumping out 15%. Transport's one area | :01:19. | :01:25. | |
the public can help. In the UK, there are financial | :01:26. | :01:27. | |
incentives to switch to electric cars, and the British government | :01:28. | :01:35. | |
is also considering a scrappage But there are no signs of that | :01:36. | :01:37. | |
from Guernsey's government. As you probably know, | :01:38. | :01:44. | |
in the UK, a lot of taxes, there are charges relating to higher | :01:45. | :01:46. | |
emission vehicles and a big incentive for the manufacturers | :01:47. | :01:49. | |
and consumers to go for lower emitting vehicles and we benefit | :01:50. | :01:51. | |
from that by virtue of sharing a similar market, even though | :01:52. | :01:54. | |
we do not have the incentives they have in the UK, | :01:55. | :01:57. | |
there are reasons to own and drive Guernsey agreed to an 80% reduction | :01:58. | :01:59. | |
in emissions from 1990 to 2050. It's so far managed just over 29%, | :02:00. | :02:12. | |
and unless the island makes significant changes to its energy | :02:13. | :02:15. | |
use, then demand will continue Two teachers from Jersey's De La | :02:16. | :02:17. | |
Salle College are in a critical condition after being knocked down | :02:18. | :02:31. | |
by a car. It happened while they were in | :02:32. | :02:33. | |
France on a ski trip last week. They were hit by a speeding | :02:34. | :02:36. | |
driver who left the scene De La Salle's assistant headteacher | :02:37. | :02:38. | |
says he doesn't expect the pair will be back in Jersey before | :02:39. | :02:46. | |
the summer term. An inquest in Jersey has found that | :02:47. | :02:49. | |
a teenage motorcyclist from St Helier died from multiple | :02:50. | :02:51. | |
injuries after hitting a car. Nineteen-year-old Nathan Vibert | :02:52. | :02:54. | |
was riding his motorbike along La Route de la Houge Bie in January | :02:55. | :02:56. | |
2016 when he approached a stationary bus and lost control, | :02:57. | :03:00. | |
colliding with a car coming Private nurseries in Jersey | :03:01. | :03:02. | |
are worried they won't survive without guaranteed | :03:03. | :03:14. | |
funding in future. Although money's been secured | :03:15. | :03:16. | |
for nurseries until next year, there's been no agreement about how | :03:17. | :03:22. | |
they'll be funded after that. Nursery days may be carefree play | :03:23. | :03:25. | |
days, but there's confusion over nursery education funding in Jersey | :03:26. | :03:29. | |
that's making staff and parents unhappy, | :03:30. | :03:31. | |
who want to be able to plan ahead. It could impact people severely | :03:32. | :03:33. | |
in getting people back to work and taking away funding | :03:34. | :03:36. | |
will have a massive impact and I'm not sure they have thought | :03:37. | :03:42. | |
of the wider implications. That the private nurseries had | :03:43. | :03:47. | |
funding was really good because all children had | :03:48. | :03:52. | |
the opportunity to go A nurseries lobby group says | :03:53. | :03:54. | |
the Education Department is making We're extremely frustrated, | :03:55. | :04:11. | |
because we've been in contact with them, we've been in meetings | :04:12. | :04:14. | |
with them and they gave us assurances that | :04:15. | :04:17. | |
they would inform us. They actually cancelled two meetings | :04:18. | :04:21. | |
we had arranged with them on the basis they had no | :04:22. | :04:23. | |
new information to give us and they would definitely contact us | :04:24. | :04:26. | |
as soon as the money had been found. The Education Minister wasn't | :04:27. | :04:33. | |
available for interview today but speaking earlier, | :04:34. | :04:35. | |
his chief education officer explained that the update | :04:36. | :04:36. | |
on finances wasn't passed on because they didn't have time | :04:37. | :04:38. | |
to talk before a States There's no decision on how much | :04:39. | :04:41. | |
funding private and States-run nurseries will get after next year, | :04:42. | :04:46. | |
so talks with the Education Department will have to continue | :04:47. | :04:49. | |
until an agreement's reached. Calls for supermarkets to introduce | :04:50. | :05:01. | |
specialist trollies will benefit children with autism | :05:02. | :05:03. | |
and disabilities in both It follows a successful petition | :05:04. | :05:05. | |
in the UK which saw over 600 supermarkets bring | :05:06. | :05:10. | |
in these purpose built trollies for bigger children | :05:11. | :05:12. | |
with specialist needs. Now the Channel Islands Co-Op has | :05:13. | :05:14. | |
listened to a local campaign and ordered eight similar trollies | :05:15. | :05:16. | |
for their larger stores We are always keen to look | :05:17. | :05:19. | |
at improvements that enhance We want to be inclusive and have | :05:20. | :05:32. | |
as many members shopping with us. When we heard about it we did | :05:33. | :05:36. | |
research and found the trolleys, they are ordered and we have | :05:37. | :05:39. | |
contacted the people concerned to let them know | :05:40. | :05:41. | |
they are on the way. Jersey could follow England | :05:42. | :05:44. | |
in banning letting agents from charging tenant fees in a bid | :05:45. | :05:46. | |
to reduce housing costs. The island's housing | :05:47. | :05:48. | |
minister Deputy Anne Pryke, said she's concerned that some fees | :05:49. | :05:54. | |
may not be reasonable, such as charging both landlords | :05:55. | :05:56. | |
and tenants for the same services. The minister wants people | :05:57. | :05:59. | |
to share their views The number of Jersey primary schools | :06:00. | :06:01. | |
getting extra literacy support has doubled after the success | :06:02. | :06:11. | |
of a community scheme. Every Child Our Future is a charity | :06:12. | :06:13. | |
that funds one-to-one help Launched last September, | :06:14. | :06:16. | |
it's not only grown in interest from volunteers but has also boosted | :06:17. | :06:27. | |
reading levels as Emma They say practice makes perfect, | :06:28. | :06:30. | |
and it seems to be proving right For the last six months, | :06:31. | :06:34. | |
volunteers have been giving up their time to sit and listen | :06:35. | :06:47. | |
to stories read by pupils. It started in four schools but now | :06:48. | :06:50. | |
it's been rolled out to four To read with more confidence | :06:51. | :06:53. | |
and more fluidity, to talk to them about their books | :06:54. | :07:00. | |
and their comprehension of the text, and those things are really, | :07:01. | :07:02. | |
really important, and we do it in school, but where we got | :07:03. | :07:05. | |
additional resources, complementory resources to do that, | :07:06. | :07:08. | |
as well - that is really important, that makes a difference. | :07:09. | :07:11. | |
The scheme has been able to expand because of the interest its gained | :07:12. | :07:14. | |
from those wanting to help. There are now 270 volunteers | :07:15. | :07:16. | |
supporting these children. I never got that opportunity so it's | :07:17. | :07:21. | |
nice to see them be able to have that extra chance to be able | :07:22. | :07:24. | |
to read and write and interact It's really just giving something | :07:25. | :07:28. | |
back to the community and helping They're potentially struggling | :07:29. | :07:38. | |
with their reading because English It's hoped all primary schools | :07:39. | :07:41. | |
in the island will be able to benefit from this partnership | :07:42. | :07:56. | |
with the Every Child Especially as Jersey literacy levels | :07:57. | :07:58. | |
for primary-age pupils lags But the chief education officer | :07:59. | :08:01. | |
doesn't want to push it too soon. We want to go at the speed | :08:02. | :08:08. | |
where we can recruit and train enough volunteers, | :08:09. | :08:10. | |
because it's very important when children make a relationship | :08:11. | :08:12. | |
with a volunteer that continues So we don't want to spread our | :08:13. | :08:15. | |
volunteers too thinly. So it seems the literacy levels | :08:16. | :08:18. | |
of Jersey's children will continue to increase as long | :08:19. | :08:21. | |
as there are enough reading A survey sent to Jersey homes asking | :08:22. | :08:24. | |
for views on the postal service has a bit of an embarrassing mistake | :08:25. | :08:35. | |
on it: there isn't enough Jersey Post, who commissioned | :08:36. | :08:38. | |
the survey, blames the error They say they're making sure | :08:39. | :08:42. | |
it won't happen again and in the meantime ask people | :08:43. | :08:48. | |
to just write the last letter of their post code | :08:49. | :08:51. | |
next to the fifth box. David Braine has your all | :08:52. | :08:55. | |
important weather forecast. thank you. Hello, good evening. It's | :08:56. | :09:08. | |
been an eventful. We've had the problems along the coastlines with | :09:09. | :09:12. | |
the high tides. Tomorrow we are not out of the woods yet. There was rain | :09:13. | :09:16. | |
in the forecast, two summit is welcome rain. Read or later, turning | :09:17. | :09:21. | |
increasingly windy later, we may end up with gale force winds again | :09:22. | :09:25. | |
tomorrow evening. A lot happening, lots of cloud on the satellite. The | :09:26. | :09:34. | |
showers tend to fade away overnight, but we gain another system, an area | :09:35. | :09:40. | |
of low pressure that develops and of us on Wednesday. Once the rain goes | :09:41. | :09:44. | |
through, we've got these westerly winds that end up being quite | :09:45. | :09:49. | |
strong. The good news is, Thursday now looks predominantly dry. We | :09:50. | :09:54. | |
should get some sunshine. Overnight tonight, we've got some clear sky | :09:55. | :10:00. | |
that was across us from earlier in the afternoon. That will continue | :10:01. | :10:05. | |
through the night. It is mainly dry overnight. Quite lustily with | :10:06. | :10:08. | |
westerly winds. Just an isolated shower with night-time temperatures | :10:09. | :10:16. | |
of 6 degrees. Quite a bit of cloud developing overnight, it will | :10:17. | :10:18. | |
produce outbreaks of rain quite quickly in the morning. We end up | :10:19. | :10:22. | |
with half the day being rather wet. The rain bank clearing after | :10:23. | :10:27. | |
lunchtime. What replaces it is a very westerly westerly wind, briefly | :10:28. | :10:32. | |
some sunshine, temperatures at 10 Celsius. Some warmth for southern | :10:33. | :10:35. | |
parts of Spain and Portugal, double figures across parts. For us, | :10:36. | :10:47. | |
finding on Thursday, not as good on Friday. It night. | :10:48. | :10:50. | |
The combination of high winds and tides is expected to bring | :10:51. | :10:53. | |
water and debris over sea walls tomorrow morning. | :10:54. | :10:55. | |

Good evening. We are about to head into March, the days are getting | :10:59. | :11:13. | |
longer, but are they getting any warmer? Not really. We will get | :11:14. | :11:18. | |
there in the end, but we will have to be patient, not very springlike | :11:19. | :11:21. | |
at the moment. Some showers scattered around across England and | :11:22. | :11:26. | |
Wales will tend to diminish in number, | :11:27. | :11:27. |
