:00:08. > :00:13.Good evening and welcome to BBC Channel Islands. Our top stories

:00:13. > :00:17.tonight: Tracking Jersey's population. Why it every islander

:00:17. > :00:21.will have to carry a registration card.

:00:41. > :00:46.

:00:46. > :00:52.Everyone in the Jersey will soon have to hold a registration card.

:00:52. > :00:55.The move was passed by the island's Government today as part of plans

:00:55. > :01:01.to control Jersey's immigration. Supporters say it will not be like

:01:01. > :01:07.an ID card but it has provided -- but it has proved equally divisive.

:01:07. > :01:15.One of the hottest political issues, had to control the population are

:01:15. > :01:20.of the island. The senator bringing it the proposals forward at the

:01:20. > :01:24.moment is here. How will this help control the population. We will

:01:24. > :01:28.have more information about people. When people come to the island they

:01:28. > :01:33.will have to have a registration card. It will allow them to gain

:01:33. > :01:39.access to housing and to work. There have been concerns today that

:01:39. > :01:45.the registration card resembles the controversial Bude -- ID card in

:01:45. > :01:52.the UK that was thrown away. recognised we did not want to go to

:01:52. > :02:00.the identity card. Senator Ferguson has been looking into these. Do you

:02:00. > :02:04.think it will work? It is a long- term policy. Immigration is a

:02:04. > :02:10.problem for most countries now. Under this there will be a degree

:02:10. > :02:17.of control over whether you can actually get a job. We have two

:02:17. > :02:22.types of immigration where we are having problems. The category of

:02:22. > :02:25.people that is reasonably well- controlled and at the moment it is

:02:25. > :02:30.open house for everybody else so we have a lot of people coming over on

:02:30. > :02:33.the boat. Some may have come last week and does a job. Those will not

:02:33. > :02:39.come into the registration card system until they actually changed

:02:39. > :02:43.jobs. These are the people who in five years' time will want access

:02:43. > :02:49.to income support and in ten years' time access to affordable for

:02:49. > :02:52.social rented housing. It is a terrific problem and there is a

:02:52. > :02:57.great deal of work to be done. lot of changes including

:02:57. > :03:01.registration cards and an island- wide registration system. We will

:03:01. > :03:04.not be seen any of these changes for about a year.

:03:04. > :03:07.Elsewhere in Jersey States, the Home Affairs Minister has declined

:03:07. > :03:15.to give more information on the reasons a senior police officer

:03:15. > :03:20.resigned from his post after just two months. Superintendent orange

:03:20. > :03:27.gravity -- Superintendent Bernard gravity was said to have left

:03:27. > :03:30.Jersey for personal reasons. When questioned, 70 Ian Le Marquand said

:03:30. > :03:35.personal reasons should not be made public.

:03:35. > :03:40.Smoking will be banned in bars, pubs and restaurants in Sark. The

:03:40. > :03:45.new legislation was voted in by 16 votes to six with one at sedation

:03:45. > :03:50.and Chief Pleas today. The two will be still legal to light up in shops,

:03:50. > :03:55.offices and places of worship. You know you are in the Channel

:03:55. > :04:00.Islands when you can breathe in the fresh sea breeze. But some parts of

:04:00. > :04:04.Guernsey are struggling to meet UK standards for air quality. We

:04:04. > :04:06.report on the three hotspots which have been identified, and the

:04:06. > :04:10.proposals to introduce local standards.

:04:10. > :04:16.Many of us use cars to get around the island but vehicle emissions

:04:16. > :04:21.are the biggest source of air pollution in Guernsey. We are

:04:21. > :04:27.measuring to particular concentrations and we are measuring

:04:27. > :04:33.30 minutes and one hour. Down here we are measuring nitrogen dioxide

:04:33. > :04:38.and nitrogen oxide. On this machine we are measuring saw the dioxide.

:04:38. > :04:43.This bit of kit is run by Guernsey's Environmental Health

:04:43. > :04:49.unit, which has been monitoring air quality for the last 20 years.

:04:49. > :04:53.week can tell that probably 75 %, may be as high as 80% is from

:04:53. > :04:59.traffic fumes. The rest is probably from domestic coal burning and so

:04:59. > :05:02.on and a small amount of industrial process. Three hotspots have been

:05:02. > :05:08.identified where the air quality is worst and a There are fears any

:05:08. > :05:12.future developments in the area can tip the balance. This is one here

:05:12. > :05:16.at the bottom of Fountain Street where lots of vehicles travel every

:05:16. > :05:21.day. Environmental Health wants to ensure that the air quality here

:05:21. > :05:24.does not get any worse. We do not have any local standards against

:05:24. > :05:30.which to measure air pollution. So what we will be proposing later

:05:30. > :05:33.this year is that we introduce local air quality standards.

:05:33. > :05:38.Introducing local standards could mean any new industrial class would

:05:38. > :05:45.need licences to ensure emissions are monitored. But for now, this

:05:45. > :05:49.little bit of kit is the best that can see has got.

:05:49. > :05:53.It has emerged that Guernsey Police deal with an average one missing

:05:53. > :05:57.person every day. The majority involved children who are found

:05:57. > :06:02.within 24 hours, sometimes in a family home. Around half those

:06:02. > :06:06.reported missing are children in care. Guernsey Police says it has a

:06:06. > :06:12.significant effect on police resources. The social workers have

:06:12. > :06:15.the same powers as a parent would so there is nothing stopping any

:06:16. > :06:20.child leaving their house. There was nothing stopping these children

:06:20. > :06:25.climbing out of a window, opening a door and running through it so yes,

:06:25. > :06:28.that is a problem. Air South West is suspending all

:06:28. > :06:31.flights from Plymouth Airport later this month. The airline currently

:06:32. > :06:37.serves Plymouth and Newquay from Jersey and Guernsey. Passengers

:06:37. > :06:41.will be diverted to Newquay and thus to Plymouth instead. The

:06:41. > :06:46.company says it is because vital military radar will not be

:06:46. > :06:52.available over the city from Friday 29th July to Monday 29th August.

:06:53. > :07:02.Later tonight, meet the adventurer who made it all away to the Arctic

:07:03. > :07:03.

:07:03. > :07:06.Circle in just a work. As the UK reels at claims of mobile

:07:06. > :07:10.phone hacking by journalists, Jersey Police are advising

:07:10. > :07:15.islanders to keep their phones safe. There has been a drop in the number

:07:15. > :07:20.of phones lost or stolen so far this year compared to 2010 on the

:07:20. > :07:24.island. How can you keep your mobile phone

:07:24. > :07:29.safe and the personal details secure? They have become an

:07:29. > :07:33.everyday essential. Most people use them, store information on them and

:07:33. > :07:38.simply cannot afford to lose them. So how can you save your friend

:07:38. > :07:43.from nifty fingers? Jersey Police want me to sign up your friend to a

:07:43. > :07:49.national website. It encourages members of the public to register

:07:49. > :07:54.their phone for free to the website. All that is required is that they

:07:54. > :07:58.insert a number on to the website. This word -- for this number is a

:07:58. > :08:03.code unique to your friend that police can stand if they find

:08:03. > :08:10.you're missing phone. This is a box of mobile phones that have been

:08:10. > :08:15.lost by people in Jersey. It is hoped initiatives such as this will

:08:15. > :08:20.result in fewer medals in here and more being returned to their owners.

:08:20. > :08:27.How much do you consider your friend's security? Not very much.

:08:27. > :08:30.Everything is pretty open. haven't got a password or anything.

:08:30. > :08:35.It is quite worrying what is happening at the moment but I do

:08:35. > :08:39.not think that would happen to us. I have had a couple of friends

:08:39. > :08:46.Staller in the past such I keep track of where it is their lot.

:08:46. > :08:51.With the her profile UK hacking story at the forefront of people's

:08:51. > :09:00.minds, here are some ways to keep your friends say. Making sure it is

:09:00. > :09:04.not so when people find it when it is lost they cannot use it. We can

:09:04. > :09:11.store more private and sensitive information on offence now than

:09:11. > :09:21.ever before. So the message is bold. Secured more will mobile. --

:09:21. > :09:22.

:09:22. > :09:28.Some showers today and more tonight. More persistent rain if anything.

:09:28. > :09:34.It stays unsettled but towards the weekend it will brighten up. And it

:09:34. > :09:41.will stay warm. An area of cloud sweeping across the South West at

:09:41. > :09:48.the moment. Strong wind associated with that as well. Rain will linger

:09:48. > :09:51.tomorrow morning but an improvement in to the afternoon. By Friday, a

:09:51. > :09:59.little more straight forward. Still breezy and a mixture of sunshine

:09:59. > :10:05.and showers. The small risk of persistent rain returning. Just

:10:05. > :10:11.clipping Jersey as we go through the afternoon. Tonight, dry weather

:10:11. > :10:16.but later on turning quite wet. Wind will be strong to fresh as

:10:16. > :10:23.well. Tomorrow morning, a damp start with outbreaks of persistent
