Good evening. Here are our top stories tonight. Inciting a riot in | :00:13. | :00:15. | |
Guernsey. Three young men are charged with using a social | :00:15. | :00:17. | |
networking site to try and start trouble. | :00:17. | :00:21. | |
Plus the freeholds on offer from Jersey States. The homeowners who | :00:21. | :00:29. | |
can now own the plot their houses stand on. | :00:29. | :00:34. | |
A I have found some new friends. During me later from all fun from | :00:34. | :00:42. | |
the Battle of flowers. -- join me later. | :00:42. | :00:44. | |
Three Guernsey men have been charged after messages were posted | :00:44. | :00:49. | |
on Facebook allegedly encouraging unrest. It follows the riots in | :00:49. | :00:53. | |
England. Mike Wilkins looks at what role technology's had in spreading | :00:53. | :01:03. | |
:01:03. | :01:03. | ||
criminal behaviour. It seems almost inconceivable that | :01:04. | :01:07. | |
scenes like this could ever be played out on the streets of St | :01:07. | :01:10. | |
Peter Port. But this week, three Guernseymen aged 17, 19 and 21 have | :01:10. | :01:13. | |
been charged after messages were posted on a social networking site | :01:13. | :01:18. | |
allegedly encouraging unrest in the island. Many people use the | :01:18. | :01:20. | |
websites to keep in touch with friends and family, but this | :01:20. | :01:23. | |
mainstream technology is now tempting some to go a step too far. | :01:24. | :01:26. | |
This page recently appeared on Facebook, advertising a Guernsey | :01:26. | :01:29. | |
riot. It was accompanied by the message: "Petrol bombs are not sold | :01:29. | :01:33. | |
at the riot so please bring your own!" So what role has new | :01:33. | :01:36. | |
technology played in taking a UK issue and almost bringing it to | :01:36. | :01:44. | |
Guernsey's shores? There's been riots before, and no doubt there | :01:44. | :01:49. | |
will be again. I do nothing you can blame social that working entirely. | :01:49. | :01:54. | |
Those forces for could embrace the social networking, embrace the | :01:54. | :02:00. | |
technology.. As the world's woes are shared with | :02:00. | :02:03. | |
more people on an increasingly fast-moving platform, it means the | :02:03. | :02:06. | |
authorities in the Channel Islands have another huge area to patrol. | :02:06. | :02:09. | |
Some Jersey residents have been given the option to buy the land | :02:09. | :02:12. | |
their homes are built on. Several blocks of flats in St Brelade | :02:12. | :02:17. | |
belong to the residents, but until now, they didn't own the land. | :02:17. | :02:24. | |
That's about to change, as the BBC's Anisha Shah reports. | :02:24. | :02:27. | |
It's a transformation, but not one that you can physically see. Until | :02:27. | :02:35. | |
recently, these flats were owned by the residents on a long-term lease. | :02:35. | :02:38. | |
That meant the States still owned the land upon which the blocks are | :02:38. | :02:41. | |
built. But now more than half of the flats here at Quennevais Park | :02:41. | :02:45. | |
will be owned outright by the residents. They're being given the | :02:45. | :02:48. | |
option to buy flying freeholds and many have taken it up, seeing | :02:48. | :02:58. | |
:02:58. | :02:58. | ||
benefits to the price of their homes. De values are going down as | :02:58. | :03:06. | |
demands of least left on them in shortening. The property prices | :03:06. | :03:14. | |
might start going back up. It is in the interest of the owners to | :03:14. | :03:17. | |
convert to the freehold. The States will still maintain the | :03:17. | :03:20. | |
properties and grounds and pass on the cost to homeowners who've | :03:20. | :03:23. | |
bought the leasehold. The idea's to be rolled out across the island, | :03:23. | :03:33. | |
giving residents the freedom of their land. | :03:33. | :03:36. | |
It jerseys cyclist is in hospital in a stable condition after | :03:36. | :03:44. | |

Incredible. That was real community Now the weather. | :10:05. | :10:09. | |
Good evening. Not the best of weather over the next few days but | :10:09. | :10:15. | |
there was an improvement into the weekend. Sunday, dry, and the first | :10:15. | :10:19. | |
few days of next week as well. We have low-pressure which will | :10:19. | :10:25. | |
generate more showers. Another weather front approaching from the | :10:25. | :10:29. | |
West, which brings more persistent rain across the island towards the | :10:29. | :10:36. | |
end of the day and overnight tomorrow. That will be slower to | :10:36. | :10:43. | |
play on Saturday morning. Brighter skies in the afternoon. Overnight, | :10:43. | :10:51. | |
quite mild, quite misty in places. Overnight temperatures down to 14. | :10:51. | :10:58. | |
Tomorrow, they should be bright spells. A few showers passing by. | :10:58. | :11:04. | |
Into the evening we will see more persistent rain setting in. | :11:04. | :11:13. | |
Temperatures up to 20, 21. For a battle of flowers, I think the | :11:13. | :11:18. | |
moonlight Parade at 9pm could see some more persistent rain. Be | :11:18. | :11:28. | |

The forecast for Saturday is a wet start. Into the afternoon, it | :11:46. | :11:53. |
