?80 million - the cost of a cruise berth for Guernsey | :00:12. | :00:14. | |
The investment required and the return at the moment doesn't stack | :00:15. | :00:25. | |
up. Good evening and welcome | :00:26. | :00:26. | |
to the late news from BBC Jersey politicians get | :00:27. | :00:29. | |
a grilling from students More shops, ferry services and | :00:30. | :00:36. | |
ultimately more money for Guernsey. That's what a deep water berth | :00:37. | :00:41. | |
could provide according to a member of the island's Development | :00:42. | :00:43. | |
and Planning Authority. Deputy Victoria Oliver says | :00:44. | :00:48. | |
if there are wider economic benefits then the cost of building a berth | :00:49. | :00:54. | |
could be justified. The first cruise ship | :00:55. | :00:58. | |
passengers of the season As Guernsey doesn't have a cruise | :00:59. | :01:05. | |
liner berth, people have to come ashore on these small boats, | :01:06. | :01:09. | |
known as tenders. And it's something tourists | :01:10. | :01:11. | |
didn't seem to mind today. On many cruisers we have made, | :01:12. | :01:15. | |
we have been taking the boats onshore when the harbour was not | :01:16. | :01:19. | |
as big for the cruise ships. We spend a lot of time at sea | :01:20. | :01:30. | |
and we've made two cruises. Cruise ship companies are very | :01:31. | :01:40. | |
happy visiting Guernsey, and that's reflected | :01:41. | :01:52. | |
in the growing visitor numbers. More than 130,000 people came ashore | :01:53. | :01:54. | |
last year, that's 10,000 more But feedback from the bigger ships | :01:55. | :01:57. | |
shows ferrying large numbers of people to and from the shore can | :01:58. | :02:05. | |
cause problems and they'd welcome Deputy Victoria Oliver | :02:06. | :02:08. | |
is a member of the Development She says if there are wider economic | :02:09. | :02:13. | |
benefits then the cost of introducing a berth | :02:14. | :02:22. | |
could be justified. It would have to show | :02:23. | :02:24. | |
that it is a benefit that we could get a more reliable | :02:25. | :02:26. | |
ferry service and also it would have If you are going to build | :02:27. | :02:29. | |
something like this, if you look at Hong Kong, | :02:30. | :02:35. | |
they have shops where their ferry terminal is, a huge outlet and it | :02:36. | :02:38. | |
could be a benefit to the island without taking away | :02:39. | :02:42. | |
from the main town. But the man who's responsible | :02:43. | :02:46. | |
for Guernsey's ports says a cruise The return at the moment, | :02:47. | :02:49. | |
it doesn't stack up. There are high capital priorities | :02:50. | :02:59. | |
for the ports and that is not one When the States last considered | :03:00. | :03:02. | |
a deep water berth it was estimated But when cruise ship passengers | :03:03. | :03:08. | |
alone contribute more than ?4 million a year to Guernsey's | :03:09. | :03:12. | |
economy, it's an issue that some An extensive search involving | :03:13. | :03:15. | |
Alderney's lifeboat, air search and the island's | :03:16. | :03:24. | |
emergency services led to the discovery | :03:25. | :03:26. | |
of a man's body last night. It was found at Crabby | :03:27. | :03:29. | |
bay, near Alderney's Earlier in the day the police | :03:30. | :03:32. | |
were looking for island resident, A formal identification | :03:33. | :03:37. | |
will take place later. Meanwhile in Jersey, | :03:38. | :03:47. | |
the police have confirmed that the body found off the south | :03:48. | :03:49. | |
coast of the island last week The pensioner went missing | :03:50. | :03:52. | |
on March 3rd after catching Her body was found by fishermen | :03:53. | :03:55. | |
near Noirmont Point. A file is being prepared | :03:56. | :03:59. | |
for the Coroner. Police are appealing | :04:00. | :04:06. | |
to a skateboarder to come forward after an accident | :04:07. | :04:08. | |
in St Helier this morning. Just before nine, a 63-year-old | :04:09. | :04:11. | |
woman was knocked The skateboarder who was involved | :04:12. | :04:13. | |
in the collision stayed with the woman as they waited | :04:14. | :04:17. | |
for an ambulance. Today, Jersey students got | :04:18. | :04:25. | |
the chance to grill the islands politicians at The Youth Assembly | :04:26. | :04:32. | |
in the States Chamber. Topics which came up | :04:33. | :04:35. | |
for debate included student Luxmy Gopal joined me earlier | :04:36. | :04:38. | |
and I asked how it compared It was quite a similar format | :04:39. | :04:56. | |
whether Bailiff Presiding Officer it. A lot of tough questions were | :04:57. | :05:02. | |
put to ministers which drew praise. The students were given credit for | :05:03. | :05:06. | |
their challenging questions and sharp observations. Was there any | :05:07. | :05:13. | |
debate? Gas and questions on a ridge all topics. A lot of questions | :05:14. | :05:22. | |
directly impacting on student's lives. The condition of school buses | :05:23. | :05:29. | |
and as you mentioned, the student loans scheme. That kick-started | :05:30. | :05:32. | |
things today with students asking why there isn't more funding in the | :05:33. | :05:40. | |
island to help go to university. They explain the island can't afford | :05:41. | :05:44. | |
to set up a student loans scheme on its own and the UK isn't interested | :05:45. | :05:49. | |
in setting up a joint challenge is one. Today isn't going to lead to | :05:50. | :05:57. | |
any immediate policy change but it covered the main topics of the day. | :05:58. | :06:01. | |
The main thing is to get youngsters involved in politics. This is the | :06:02. | :06:07. | |
20th you simply on the idea is to get the more engaged in politics and | :06:08. | :06:11. | |
make them more accessible. This is what some of the students told me | :06:12. | :06:15. | |
earlier. It is important, especially for the youth of the island. We have | :06:16. | :06:21. | |
such a small States assembly and it is important for people to get | :06:22. | :06:25. | |
involved and get their voice heard. It gives an opportunity for the | :06:26. | :06:29. | |
members of the states to hear what young people have to say. It | :06:30. | :06:34. | |
inspires people to go in the realm of politics. As young people, we are | :06:35. | :06:43. | |
not really involved and it gives us an opportunity to get an opportunity | :06:44. | :06:47. | |
to learn what is going on inside there. What is the impact? It is | :06:48. | :06:55. | |
hoped it could be felt in a wider democratic process. The bailiff | :06:56. | :07:00. | |
asked students to remember it was their duty to vote in elections. | :07:01. | :07:05. | |
Historically, there has always been a low turnout of young voters and it | :07:06. | :07:08. | |
is hoped it will tackle that. Do you remember this | :07:09. | :07:11. | |
stunning installation at the Tower of London - | :07:12. | :07:12. | |
well in Jersey this year to mark Remembrance Sunday there are plans | :07:13. | :07:16. | |
for a swathe of poppies - albeit not on the same scale | :07:17. | :07:18. | |
as London - but with a twist. Alison Moss went | :07:19. | :07:21. | |
to find out more... Here we are in Jersey's | :07:22. | :07:25. | |
Central market. The old Victorian fountain | :07:26. | :07:26. | |
is being refurbished but also that Tell me about this | :07:27. | :07:31. | |
big vision of yours. It started very small and the idea | :07:32. | :07:43. | |
was to get volunteers from the community to make poppies, | :07:44. | :07:45. | |
knit, crochet, whatever, so we could do a display | :07:46. | :07:48. | |
for Remembrance Day. Also forpeople to reflect | :07:49. | :07:51. | |
on what remembrance means to them. It is a community-based thing | :07:52. | :07:57. | |
and we are trying to get community spirit back into this beautiful | :07:58. | :08:00. | |
market and for the island. Initially my first | :08:01. | :08:08. | |
thoughts were 5000. There are classes being held | :08:09. | :08:15. | |
in the central market on how to learn to crochet but how | :08:16. | :08:22. | |
difficult is it for a novice It is tricky because you have to be | :08:23. | :08:25. | |
confident with the first stitch. Hopefully there will be thousands | :08:26. | :08:32. | |
of poppies by the time November comes around and we will come back | :08:33. | :08:44. | |
then to have a look. Now lets take a look at the latest | :08:45. | :08:56. | |
weather forecast with David Braine. Good evening. At this time of year, | :08:57. | :09:09. | |
if we get any sunshine like we have had today, it is quite pleasant. | :09:10. | :09:14. | |
However, there are showers dotted around and it feels like winter. A | :09:15. | :09:20. | |
lovely shot taken today. We will continue to see a risk of showers | :09:21. | :09:24. | |
tonight and tomorrow. Some sunny spells through the afternoon and | :09:25. | :09:27. | |
lighter winds than we have seen today. You can see the line of cloud | :09:28. | :09:36. | |
on the satellite picture. This next line is a rash of showers that will | :09:37. | :09:40. | |
come in later on tonight. It will be around during the morning. We are in | :09:41. | :09:49. | |
the centre of high pressure. Feeling pleasant with light winds and stop | :09:50. | :09:55. | |
also the risk of slow-moving showers. Through Thursday into | :09:56. | :09:59. | |
Friday, we draw easterly winds and it means seeing some lower | :10:00. | :10:05. | |
temperatures. Overnight tonight, it is initially dry but this line of | :10:06. | :10:10. | |
showers will turn up. By the time we get to the small hours of the | :10:11. | :10:15. | |
morning, we are looking at somewhere whether for a time. Blustery winds | :10:16. | :10:22. | |
also. Five Celsius is the minimum temperature. We have a wet start of | :10:23. | :10:28. | |
the day. Sunny spells and a few showers. Lighter winds than we have | :10:29. | :10:31. | |
seen today with a top temperature of eight Celsius. | :10:32. | :11:01. | |
Heavy rain, snow and ice are all in the forecast once again. It was | :11:02. | :11:14. | |
quite a wintry scene today, especially in Scotland. Some very | :11:15. | :11:18. | |
cold looking winter skies here, and we had some snow falling at times in | :11:19. | :11:22. | |
West Lothian. For a while earlier today, there were quite a few | :11:23. | :11:25. | |
showers running through central Scotland, all in that cold air. | :11:26. | :11:31. | |
Right now, we have two areas of cloud, one in northern Scotland and | :11:32. | :11:37. | |
this deepening area bringing heavy rain into south-west England and | :11:38. | :11:39. | |
Wales overnight, with snow over the hills. That wetter weather will move | :11:40. | :11:43. | |
into the | :11:44. | :11:45. |
