:00:08. > :00:12.Hello, welcome to BBC Channel Islands. The headlines.
:00:12. > :00:15.A final farewell, Jersey's Lieutenant Governor says goodbye to
:00:15. > :00:20.Jersey but not before he has spoken his mind.
:00:20. > :00:25.Also tonight, Big Brother meets the fly tippers. Why you would not want
:00:25. > :00:28.to be caught on film in Guernsey. Join me when I will be live from
:00:28. > :00:37.the Isle of Wight to find out if there will be a Channel Island
:00:37. > :00:40.Jersey's outgoing Lieutenant Governor has criticised the way
:00:40. > :00:45.some parts of the island's community used the Haut de la
:00:45. > :00:48.Garenne child abuse investigation for political gain. Lieutenant
:00:48. > :00:51.General Sir Andrew Ridgeway said goodbye to Jersey today, but not
:00:51. > :01:01.without first giving his opinion on his five years at Government House.
:01:01. > :01:02.
:01:02. > :01:06.Brent Pilnick reports. Pomp and pageantry for departing
:01:06. > :01:11.Lieutenant Governor. But as Sir Andrew Ridgeway took a final salute,
:01:11. > :01:14.he reflected on one of the biggest issues to ever affect the island.
:01:14. > :01:19.Sir Andrew felt that some of those in the community of which he was
:01:19. > :01:26.there to represent tried to use the Haut De La Garenne child abuse
:01:26. > :01:31.scandal for political gain. All the focus on the island should have
:01:31. > :01:35.been for caring for those people, helping them to come to terms with
:01:35. > :01:39.it. And crucially conducting the police investigation and gathering
:01:39. > :01:43.the evidence so if possible people could be brought to trial for these
:01:43. > :01:48.offences. When we should have been focused, everybody should have been
:01:48. > :01:54.focused on that, they were diverted away by these extraordinary
:01:54. > :01:57.allegations of a mass murders. And people attempting to exploited the
:01:58. > :02:03.situation for political purposes. I think that was a great shame
:02:03. > :02:07.because it distracted from the real effort, which was caring for the
:02:07. > :02:12.people who had been through that abuse. The Ridgeway family are held
:02:12. > :02:18.in high esteem by a Islanders, and as they queued up to say goodbye,
:02:18. > :02:24.Sir Andrew reflected on a community spirit the UK could take heed of.
:02:24. > :02:26.That culture of giving up time for the community is terrific. I hear
:02:26. > :02:30.Prime Minister David Cameron struggling sometimes to explain
:02:30. > :02:36.what he means by the big society. Just come here, it is here, alive
:02:36. > :02:40.and well. As Sir Andrew got a final goodbye from the Chief Minister and
:02:40. > :02:45.his wife, the island said farewell to a governor who is Tamar has
:02:45. > :02:51.covered one of Jersey's most turbulent times. -- whose term has
:02:51. > :02:54.covered one of Jersey's most turbulent times. And you can see
:02:54. > :03:00.the full interview with Liutenant General Sir Andrew Ridgeway on our
:03:00. > :03:03.website. Lloyds Banking Group says it hasn't
:03:03. > :03:10.ruled out redundancies in the Channel Islands after announcing
:03:10. > :03:13.it's shedding 15,000 jobs across its operations. Most of the job
:03:13. > :03:17.losses, which amount to 14% of its workforce, will be in middle
:03:17. > :03:22.management. The group won't be reducing the number of branches on
:03:22. > :03:26.the high street. Jersey politicians have agreed to
:03:26. > :03:32.plans to regenerate the north of town in the area around the Odeon
:03:32. > :03:34.cinema and the new Town Park. They've adopted the North of Town
:03:34. > :03:37.masterplan, which includes proposals for housing on Ann Court,
:03:37. > :03:44.shops and flats at Minden Place, and extra green space and
:03:44. > :03:49.pedestrian areas. It's long been a problem blighting
:03:49. > :03:52.Guernsey but now action is being taken to stop flytipping. Amy
:03:52. > :03:55.Harris reports on the CCTV cameras which are being installed for the
:03:56. > :04:05.first time at flytipping hotspots in St Peter Port in a bid to make
:04:06. > :04:09.
:04:09. > :04:14.litterbugs think twice. Caught on camera, the messy problem
:04:14. > :04:18.littering and Ireland. Fly-tipping. This quiet residential street is
:04:18. > :04:22.one of the areas plagued by fly- tipping in Guernsey. You can see
:04:22. > :04:26.evidence of it behind me, a suitcase and a black bin-liner just
:04:26. > :04:30.left in the street. Neighbours here at Les Petites Fontaines say it
:04:30. > :04:34.gets much worse. A lot of it is rubbish bags that are not tied up
:04:34. > :04:38.and left out too early, so the sea gulls get it and it spreads down
:04:38. > :04:44.the street. But then, source pounds, there was a washing machine once.
:04:44. > :04:49.Chairs, mattresses. I don't understand what they think will
:04:49. > :04:54.happen to it, who will take it away. That is why action is being taken.
:04:54. > :04:59.This street is just one place in St Peter Port which is getting CCTV
:04:59. > :05:03.cameras as town centre bosses crackdown on fly-tipping. I want to
:05:03. > :05:06.stop people from doing it, under one to make people aware that it is
:05:06. > :05:11.a social responsibility that everybody has to make sure the
:05:11. > :05:16.street are keen. -- clean. It is welcome news for bosses here, whose
:05:16. > :05:25.bosses have to -- whose workers have to pick up after their flight
:05:25. > :05:30.to put. It is no need for it, if people stop throwing stuff away, it
:05:30. > :05:33.is wasting taxpayers' money. With fines for anyone caught fly-tipping
:05:33. > :05:38.up to �2,000, it is hoped the cameras will make people think
:05:38. > :05:40.twice about how they dump their rubbish.
:05:40. > :05:42.Guernsey's States members have voted against establishing a
:05:42. > :05:47.compensation scheme for widows whose pension was replaced with a
:05:47. > :05:57.bereavement allowance. The vote now means widows won't receive an extra
:05:57. > :06:04.
:06:04. > :06:07.payment from the States. Jersey Police offices are to move
:06:07. > :06:10.to a building facing the Green Street roundabout. Around 108
:06:10. > :06:12.officers will transfer to Lime Grove House. The move will free up
:06:12. > :06:15.land for new housing following renovation of the existing Rouge
:06:15. > :06:17.Bouillon site where a small operational office and custody room
:06:17. > :06:21.will remain. Flybe has reported making a �4.3
:06:21. > :06:24.million loss in the year to March. That's compared to a profit of more
:06:24. > :06:27.than �24 million the previous year. It's thought that disruption due to
:06:27. > :06:37.the Icelandic volcanic ash cloud and last winter's bad weather
:06:37. > :06:37.
:06:37. > :06:40.contributed to the losses. Good to have be with us here on BBC One.
:06:40. > :06:43.Still to come on BBC Channel Islands news, David's here with the
:06:43. > :06:46.weather and later in Spotlight with Justin and Natalie: Starring on the
:06:46. > :06:56.big screen, the leading role for Dartmoor in the latest Hollywood
:06:56. > :07:01.
:07:01. > :07:05.That is it from me in the studio for now, I am back at 8pm and
:07:05. > :07:10.turned into 5:00pm on BBC One. Let's join Mike Wilkins who is
:07:10. > :07:12.light at the Island Games at the Isle of Wight -- Isle of Wight.
:07:12. > :07:17.We've plenty of action from volleyball, athletics, basketball
:07:17. > :07:22.and much more in a moment. First football and Channel Island fans
:07:22. > :07:25.savouring a Guernsey Jersey final will be disappointed tonight.
:07:25. > :07:33.Jersey lost to the hosts the Isle of Wight and Roger Bara sent this
:07:33. > :07:36.report. The Jersey football team will
:07:36. > :07:42.probably be kicking themselves tonight. This is a ship -- match
:07:42. > :07:46.they should have and could have won quite easily. They created by far
:07:46. > :07:51.the best chances, none more so that this effort just before half-time.
:07:51. > :07:56.Who knows what they 1-0 lead would have done in the second half. They
:07:56. > :08:02.were the dominant force in the second period, dominating, creating
:08:02. > :08:08.several chances but converting none. They could not clear a corner
:08:08. > :08:13.before extra-time which allowed John Mackie to poke the ball in.
:08:13. > :08:16.That was all the Isle of Wight needed to get to the final. Four
:08:16. > :08:22.Jersey now, a play-off for bronze medal. They do not get the chance
:08:22. > :08:25.to try and retain the gold medal in the Isle of Wight.
:08:25. > :08:35.That was Jersey's result but Guernsey have made it through to
:08:35. > :08:39.
:08:39. > :08:44.the final. They had a close match Guernsey came to these games
:08:44. > :08:52.determined to prove they had overcome their least in -- a recent
:08:52. > :08:59.loss to dent the point -- gently. It did not go to plant at first,
:08:59. > :09:02.Guernsey hit back when Dominic Hulme scored an equaliser. As the
:09:02. > :09:11.second half began, it was not long before Guernsey took the lead after
:09:11. > :09:20.winning a penalty. Lynette Dyer stepped up and hit his target. That
:09:20. > :09:28.was not to last, Aland evil to this -- even if the school. But then
:09:28. > :09:34.Guernsey won 23-2, so they eat meat Isle of Wight in the final. -- they
:09:34. > :09:39.won 3-2. So they meet the Isle of Wight and the final. We have
:09:39. > :09:46.managed to clean the game off twice, they were magnificent today. We
:09:46. > :09:54.mucked in when the time was right. Guernsey players will need a good
:09:54. > :09:58.light so rest tonight before the final less than 20 -- 20 Boaz a
:09:58. > :10:01.gate -- the final is less than 24 hours away.
:10:01. > :10:05.As day five comes to an end, Guernsey continues to dominate the
:10:05. > :10:10.medals table, with their old rivals Jersey not far behind. And it's
:10:10. > :10:13.swimming that's helped boost both islands up the table. Emma Chambres
:10:13. > :10:23.went along to last night's action to see another impressive Channel
:10:23. > :10:30.
:10:30. > :10:34.It has been Channel Island domination at the swimming pool.
:10:34. > :10:38.Guernsey have been unstoppable. Things are going great, we have had
:10:38. > :10:44.a great week. Tonight was awesome winning every what -- relay, a bit
:10:44. > :10:48.of revenge from last night. We are delighted, very happy. Jersey are
:10:49. > :10:54.normally Guernsey's biggest rivals. But at this Island Games it is a
:10:54. > :11:00.much younger team from the island without experienced swimmer Ian.
:11:00. > :11:07.Guernsey have got to senior boys here, who are up to Ian black's
:11:07. > :11:10.standard. Whether or not he would have won gold, you do not know. It
:11:10. > :11:14.is making a difference when you miss the senior swimmers. But the
:11:14. > :11:20.young ones have stepped up. Jersey ladies relay team certainly
:11:20. > :11:24.stepped up. They won the Ireland's first gold medal in the pool.
:11:24. > :11:27.time we won it three default, which has a great experience, but it just
:11:27. > :11:33.winning it as a team, it is a bright new team, winning it
:11:33. > :11:37.together was amazing. It is a great feeling. More records and medals
:11:37. > :11:41.will be had tonight, but will Guernsey be able to hang on to
:11:41. > :11:46.their top spot? This really has been Guernsey's
:11:46. > :11:49.games so far. They've been top of the medals table since day one. A
:11:49. > :11:56.little earlier I spoke to their very proud bailiff, who is in the
:11:56. > :12:00.Isle of Wight, to see what he made of their success.
:12:00. > :12:04.Guernsey have really dominated the games so far. What have you made of
:12:04. > :12:08.the progress of the team? They have been doing brilliantly. For all the
:12:08. > :12:13.teams, it is celebration of everything that is good about sport.
:12:13. > :12:17.But we have done remarkably well. What about for yourself, any
:12:17. > :12:23.highlight? It is very difficult to speak in terms of highlights. I
:12:23. > :12:25.have to say cycling was brilliant, watching the Badminton, winning the
:12:26. > :12:31.Golden Knights -- gold medal at midnight. Table tennis, getting the
:12:31. > :12:35.goal. I have also much enjoyed people just doing their best,
:12:35. > :12:43.getting personal bests, or a particular at Jersey inverses
:12:43. > :12:48.Gandhi contest. All against some other island. -- Jersey versus
:12:48. > :12:53.Guernsey contest. What do you think has been Guernsey's secret weapon?
:12:53. > :12:57.I think the very fact that back home, we have tremendous facilities,
:12:57. > :13:01.we have backing from sponsors and government and we have a lot of
:13:01. > :13:04.young people committed to sport. A lot of the old people putting
:13:04. > :13:08.something back into sport so our youngsters can come through. That
:13:08. > :13:14.is the strength we have got in our team, and it showed at these Games.
:13:14. > :13:20.You alluded to it there, always nice to be one ahead of your rivals
:13:20. > :13:25.J D? That is always so. I am passionate about sport. If I see
:13:25. > :13:29.someone from Jersey playing well, I applaud that just as much. I just
:13:29. > :13:36.want to see good sport, fair competition and seeing everyone
:13:36. > :13:41.enjoying themselves. A very proud man indeed. On to some
:13:41. > :13:47.other sports news, here is a round- up of success on court, and on the
:13:47. > :13:53.track, and a heavy dose of inter- island rivalry.
:13:53. > :13:58.Another night at the track, another Channel Island gold. Louise Perrigo
:13:58. > :14:04.of Guernsey defended her title in the 10,000 metres despite strong
:14:04. > :14:09.winds. It was good, I was glad that other people were taking the wind.
:14:09. > :14:18.It was not my favourite conditions, they did the work force. Fellow
:14:18. > :14:22.sunny and Dave Garland a long dark -- -- Dave Garland got the long
:14:22. > :14:27.jump and javelin. Thursday started strongly for Guernsey as well,
:14:27. > :14:32.they're ladies volleyball team at faced Jersey. With no medals at
:14:32. > :14:38.stake, just bragging rights. A nail-biting match that went to five
:14:38. > :14:46.sets, at Jersey try and three sets to two. Worst luck for Guernsey
:14:46. > :14:53.ladies basketball team, they lost their semi-final against Gibraltar.
:14:53. > :14:57.They will play off for bronze tomorrow. In the squash, Jones the
:14:57. > :15:01.-- the gens eat -- the Jersey men's double pairing hope to add to the
:15:01. > :15:06.team gold. The men's gold, and their ladies saw there. Make no
:15:06. > :15:10.mistake, Jersey's squash team means business. We came here to win for
:15:10. > :15:14.sure. We had a great success in Shetland, that is the last time
:15:14. > :15:21.squash has been in the Island Games. We are here to see if we can better
:15:21. > :15:26.that. We are on target to do that. Just time to give you the latest on
:15:26. > :15:36.the medals table. As you can see, Guernsey are still top, leading the
:15:36. > :15:46.
:15:46. > :15:50.28 golds, 27 silvers and four Hello, good evening. Lots of fine
:15:50. > :15:54.weather across the Channel Islands to enjoy over the next you days. No
:15:54. > :15:58.appreciable rain, not such good news for the farmers and those who
:15:58. > :16:02.need the name -- the rain. Those looking for fine and dry weather,
:16:02. > :16:05.this high pressure will bring it. It moves across us over the next 24
:16:05. > :16:10.hours, there it is across the western end of the English Channel
:16:10. > :16:13.by lunchtime tomorrow. Across the weekend, it is there in one form or
:16:14. > :16:18.another. We bring in easterly winds across the island, by the time we
:16:18. > :16:22.get to the second half of the weekend. That brings a warm air, 23
:16:22. > :16:27.degrees by Saturday and Sunday. Overnight tonight, some patchy
:16:27. > :16:31.cloud but a lot of clear skies. Temperatures on the like --
:16:31. > :16:35.temperatures on the low side for the night-time hours. A gentle
:16:35. > :16:43.northerly breeze. Tomorrow we should have a lot more sunshine, we
:16:43. > :16:47.may have some fair weather cloud floating by. Again, a gentle north
:16:47. > :16:51.or north-east wind. If you have been following the Island Games,
:16:51. > :17:01.the final day tomorrow on the Isle of Wight, the weather set fine and
:17:01. > :17:17.
:17:17. > :17:24.dry with 20 the top temperature For hour surfers, a bit choppy.
:17:24. > :17:29.Otherwise, no more than two or three feet. Here is the good news
:17:29. > :17:33.for those who won the sunshine, it comes out across the weekend. 22 or
:17:33. > :17:37.23 on Sunday. Such -- slightly more than easterly breeze so perhaps
:17:37. > :17:47.cooler on the coast. By the start of next week, still dry with some
:17:47. > :17:49.
:17:49. > :17:52.That is about all the time we have tonight. We will be back tomorrow
:17:52. > :17:55.Night Live tomorrow night here in the Isle of Wight from we will
