Everyone in the Jersey will soon have to hold a registration card. | :00:46. | :00:52. | |
The move was passed by the island's Government today as part of plans | :00:52. | :00:55. | |
to control Jersey's immigration. Supporters say it will not be like | :00:55. | :01:01. | |
an ID card but it has provided -- but it has proved equally divisive. | :01:01. | :01:07. | |
One of the hottest political issues, had to control the population are | :01:07. | :01:15. | |
of the island. The senator bringing it the proposals forward at the | :01:15. | :01:20. | |
moment is here. How will this help control the population. We will | :01:20. | :01:24. | |
have more information about people. When people come to the island they | :01:24. | :01:28. | |
will have to have a registration card. It will allow them to gain | :01:28. | :01:33. | |
access to housing and to work. There have been concerns today that | :01:33. | :01:39. | |
the registration card resembles the controversial Bude -- ID card in | :01:39. | :01:45. | |
the UK that was thrown away. recognised we did not want to go to | :01:45. | :01:52. | |
the identity card. Senator Ferguson has been looking into these. Do you | :01:52. | :02:00. | |
think it will work? It is a long- term policy. Immigration is a | :02:00. | :02:04. | |
problem for most countries now. Under this there will be a degree | :02:04. | :02:10. | |
of control over whether you can actually get a job. We have two | :02:10. | :02:17. | |
types of immigration where we are having problems. The category of | :02:17. | :02:22. | |
people that is reasonably well- controlled and at the moment it is | :02:22. | :02:25. | |
open house for everybody else so we have a lot of people coming over on | :02:25. | :02:30. | |
the boat. Some may have come last week and does a job. Those will not | :02:30. | :02:33. | |
come into the registration card system until they actually changed | :02:33. | :02:39. | |
jobs. These are the people who in five years' time will want access | :02:39. | :02:43. | |
to income support and in ten years' time access to affordable for | :02:43. | :02:49. | |
social rented housing. It is a terrific problem and there is a | :02:49. | :02:52. | |
great deal of work to be done. lot of changes including | :02:52. | :02:57. | |
registration cards and an island- wide registration system. We will | :02:57. | :03:01. | |
not be seen any of these changes for about a year. | :03:01. | :03:04. | |
Elsewhere in Jersey States, the Home Affairs Minister has declined | :03:04. | :03:07. | |
to give more information on the reasons a senior police officer | :03:07. | :03:15. | |
resigned from his post after just two months. Superintendent orange | :03:15. | :03:20. | |
gravity -- Superintendent Bernard gravity was said to have left | :03:20. | :03:27. | |
Jersey for personal reasons. When questioned, 70 Ian Le Marquand said | :03:27. | :03:30. | |
personal reasons should not be made public. | :03:30. | :03:35. | |
Smoking will be banned in bars, pubs and restaurants in Sark. The | :03:35. | :03:40. | |
new legislation was voted in by 16 votes to six with one at sedation | :03:40. | :03:45. | |
and Chief Pleas today. The two will be still legal to light up in shops, | :03:45. | :03:50. | |
offices and places of worship. You know you are in the Channel | :03:50. | :03:55. | |
Islands when you can breathe in the fresh sea breeze. But some parts of | :03:55. | :04:00. | |
Guernsey are struggling to meet UK standards for air quality. We | :04:00. | :04:04. | |
report on the three hotspots which have been identified, and the | :04:04. | :04:06. | |
proposals to introduce local standards. | :04:06. | :04:10. | |
Many of us use cars to get around the island but vehicle emissions | :04:10. | :04:16. | |
are the biggest source of air pollution in Guernsey. We are | :04:16. | :04:21. | |
measuring to particular concentrations and we are measuring | :04:21. | :04:27. | |
30 minutes and one hour. Down here we are measuring nitrogen dioxide | :04:27. | :04:33. | |
and nitrogen oxide. On this machine we are measuring saw the dioxide. | :04:33. | :04:38. | |
This bit of kit is run by Guernsey's Environmental Health | :04:38. | :04:43. | |
unit, which has been monitoring air quality for the last 20 years. | :04:43. | :04:49. | |
week can tell that probably 75 %, may be as high as 80% is from | :04:49. | :04:53. | |
traffic fumes. The rest is probably from domestic coal burning and so | :04:53. | :04:59. | |
on and a small amount of industrial process. Three hotspots have been | :04:59. | :05:02. | |
identified where the air quality is worst and a There are fears any | :05:02. | :05:08. | |
future developments in the area can tip the balance. This is one here | :05:08. | :05:12. | |
at the bottom of Fountain Street where lots of vehicles travel every | :05:12. | :05:16. | |
day. Environmental Health wants to ensure that the air quality here | :05:16. | :05:21. | |
does not get any worse. We do not have any local standards against | :05:21. | :05:24. | |
which to measure air pollution. So what we will be proposing later | :05:24. | :05:30. | |
this year is that we introduce local air quality standards. | :05:30. | :05:33. | |
Introducing local standards could mean any new industrial class would | :05:33. | :05:38. | |
need licences to ensure emissions are monitored. But for now, this | :05:38. | :05:45. | |
little bit of kit is the best that can see has got. | :05:45. | :05:49. | |
It has emerged that Guernsey Police deal with an average one missing | :05:49. | :05:53. | |
person every day. The majority involved children who are found | :05:53. | :05:57. | |
within 24 hours, sometimes in a family home. Around half those | :05:57. | :06:02. | |
reported missing are children in care. Guernsey Police says it has a | :06:02. | :06:06. | |
significant effect on police resources. The social workers have | :06:06. | :06:12. | |
the same powers as a parent would so there is nothing stopping any | :06:12. | :06:15. | |
child leaving their house. There was nothing stopping these children | :06:16. | :06:20. | |
climbing out of a window, opening a door and running through it so yes, | :06:20. | :06:25. | |
that is a problem. Air South West is suspending all | :06:25. | :06:28. | |
flights from Plymouth Airport later this month. The airline currently | :06:28. | :06:31. | |
serves Plymouth and Newquay from Jersey and Guernsey. Passengers | :06:32. | :06:37. | |
will be diverted to Newquay and thus to Plymouth instead. The | :06:37. | :06:41. | |
company says it is because vital military radar will not be | :06:41. | :06:46. | |
available over the city from Friday 29th July to Monday 29th August. | :06:46. | :06:52. | |

Circle in just a work. As the UK reels at claims of mobile | :07:03. | :07:06. | |
phone hacking by journalists, Jersey Police are advising | :07:06. | :07:10. | |
islanders to keep their phones safe. There has been a drop in the number | :07:10. | :07:15. | |
of phones lost or stolen so far this year compared to 2010 on the | :07:15. | :07:20. | |
island. How can you keep your mobile phone | :07:20. | :07:24. | |
safe and the personal details secure? They have become an | :07:24. | :07:29. | |
everyday essential. Most people use them, store information on them and | :07:29. | :07:33. | |
simply cannot afford to lose them. So how can you save your friend | :07:33. | :07:38. | |
from nifty fingers? Jersey Police want me to sign up your friend to a | :07:38. | :07:43. | |
national website. It encourages members of the public to register | :07:43. | :07:49. | |
their phone for free to the website. All that is required is that they | :07:49. | :07:54. | |
insert a number on to the website. This word -- for this number is a | :07:54. | :07:58. | |
code unique to your friend that police can stand if they find | :07:58. | :08:03. | |
you're missing phone. This is a box of mobile phones that have been | :08:03. | :08:10. | |
lost by people in Jersey. It is hoped initiatives such as this will | :08:10. | :08:15. | |
result in fewer medals in here and more being returned to their owners. | :08:15. | :08:20. | |
How much do you consider your friend's security? Not very much. | :08:20. | :08:27. | |
Everything is pretty open. haven't got a password or anything. | :08:27. | :08:30. | |
It is quite worrying what is happening at the moment but I do | :08:30. | :08:35. | |
not think that would happen to us. I have had a couple of friends | :08:35. | :08:39. | |
Staller in the past such I keep track of where it is their lot. | :08:39. | :08:46. | |
With the her profile UK hacking story at the forefront of people's | :08:46. | :08:51. | |
minds, here are some ways to keep your friends say. Making sure it is | :08:51. | :09:00. | |
not so when people find it when it is lost they cannot use it. We can | :09:00. | :09:04. | |
store more private and sensitive information on offence now than | :09:04. | :09:11. | |
ever before. So the message is bold. Secured more will mobile. -- | :09:11. | :09:21. | |

Some showers today and more tonight. More persistent rain if anything. | :09:22. | :09:28. | |
It stays unsettled but towards the weekend it will brighten up. And it | :09:28. | :09:34. | |
will stay warm. An area of cloud sweeping across the South West at | :09:34. | :09:41. | |
