Howell, a warm welcome to BBC Channel Islands. Our top stories -

back to black, Gerd it promises to spend millions and plug deficits,

we would tell you out. -- Guernsey promises.

The Marathon man sprinting for a world championship and a place in

:00:27.:00:32.

the Olympics. If I can perform well and make the most of my training, I

:00:32.:00:37.

feel it is realistic. The 11 the sea and make a fortune

:00:37.:00:41.

for our island but how much do you know about the secret life of

:00:41.:00:51.
:00:51.:00:52.

lobsters? -- they live in this sea. Good evening. Jersey state's

:00:52.:00:56.

finances could be back in the black within five years according to the

:00:56.:00:58.

States Strategic Plan report. Released today it says savings

:00:58.:01:01.

across departments could eradicate the island's annual deficit. But it

:01:01.:01:09.

is also promising to spend �1.4 million on nine major projects.

:01:09.:01:12.

It may not always seem like it but Guernsey states has a strategic

:01:12.:01:16.

plan. It is what policymakers want to spend the public money on over

:01:16.:01:26.
:01:26.:01:26.

the next few years and the wish- list for next year includes.

:01:26.:01:28.

�328,000 for a bowel cancer screening programme. 235,000 for a

:01:28.:01:34.

complete review of health and social care. �57,000 for a

:01:34.:01:36.

restorative justice programme, where victims can meet the

:01:36.:01:43.

offenders. 9 projects that up to 1.4 million pounds in total. So

:01:43.:01:49.

where is the money coming from? we have a programme which is

:01:50.:01:54.

designed to save 31 million council care annum. That is funding new

:01:55.:01:59.

service developments. Perhaps more ambitious is the plan to get rid of

:01:59.:02:05.

the deficit by 2016. We might all play a part in that. We can get rid

:02:05.:02:08.

of the deficit through a combination of economic growth,

:02:08.:02:14.

raising additional taxes and making savings inefficiencies. Other we do

:02:14.:02:19.

not know where tax increases will bite, the plan is sure to cause

:02:19.:02:23.

more heated debates when it goes before the States in October.

:02:23.:02:26.

If you want your voice heard in Jersey's upcoming election, you

:02:26.:02:30.

have just three days left to register to vote. On Wednesday,

:02:30.:02:33.

19th October islanders will have the chance to elect senators,

:02:33.:02:36.

connetables and deputies. Registration forms have been sent

:02:36.:02:39.

out to households across the island. You can also download the form from

:02:39.:02:48.

the election website. Forms need to be returned by noon on Monday.

:02:49.:02:53.

is that tight. You will not know who the candidates are until

:02:53.:02:58.

Tuesday or Wednesday. That will be too late. You really need to get

:02:58.:03:03.

your registration form filled in and taken to your parish hall by 12

:03:03.:03:10.

o'clock on Monday morning or you will be too late.

:03:10.:03:13.

Up to 10 jobs are to be created when the UK fashion chain Jack

:03:13.:03:18.

Wills opens a store in Jersey. The company is linked to the American

:03:18.:03:23.

brand Abercrombie & Fitch. The Channel Island store will open

the jewellers CT Maine. It has been confirmed the Red

Arrows will appear Jersey in Guernsey's Battle of Britain air

:03:32.:03:35.

display next week. Following the death of Flight Lieutenant Jon

:03:35.:03:37.

Egging in Bournemouth last month, there was uncertainty as to whether

:03:37.:03:45.

the flight squad would attend. But their PR team says they are

:03:45.:03:51.

scheduled to fly on Thursday. Later in Spotlight with Justin and

Victoria - the dog who fell 50ft from his hotel balcony and

:03:53.:04:03.

miraculously survived. In sport, Team GB have already got

:04:03.:04:08.

five medals at the athletics world championship in South Korea. This

:04:08.:04:11.

weekend a Guernseyman is hoping to make it six. Marathon runner Lee

:04:11.:04:14.

Merrien will be battling hot and humid conditions in Daegu. But a

:04:14.:04:19.

championship medal is not his only goal. He needs to finish in the top

:04:19.:04:22.

20 in order to qualify for next year's London Olympics. Mike

:04:22.:04:30.

Wilkins caught up with him before he set off. That chances are you

:04:30.:04:34.

have seen Guernsey's running man - Lee Merrien putting in the miles

:04:34.:04:39.

around the island. All that hard work is paying dividends as he is

:04:39.:04:42.

now representing Great Britain at the World Championships in South

:04:42.:04:48.

Korea. He will need to stretch himself to finish in the top 20, in

:04:48.:04:53.

order to qualify for the London Olympics. I have to focus on what I

:04:53.:04:57.

am doing but at the end of the day, other athletes can perform really

:04:57.:05:03.

well and if they are more than 20 of them, I will get pushed out of

:05:03.:05:07.

that spot. I can only control what I'd do. If I can perform well and

:05:07.:05:11.

make the most of the training I have done, then I feel that is very

:05:12.:05:18.

realistic. I will certainly do my best to achieve it. This Sunday he

:05:18.:05:22.

will be giving it his all and it will be nerve-racking for some

:05:22.:05:29.

spectators. West are watching him I am very nervous at the beginning. I

:05:29.:05:33.

am just thinking, what if something goes wrong. He has put all that

:05:33.:05:39.

work into it and at the last minute, it is just one race. Especially now

:05:39.:05:43.

when he has moved up to the Marathon when he only does one or

:05:43.:05:50.

two a year. He has made sure he is in tip-top shape by slipping in an

:05:50.:05:55.

altitude tent to help him prepare for the heat and humidity. It looks

:05:55.:06:01.

like something strange. It is airtight and is fairly spacious for

:06:01.:06:07.

an altitude tent. The next time you see them, he will be going for gold

:06:07.:06:10.

as he aims to win and achieve his dream of qualifying for the

:06:10.:06:18.

Olympics. Very good luck to them.

:06:18.:06:24.

It is an industry worth several million pounds in Jersey. For some

:06:24.:06:28.

it is a fine dining treat. Lobster fishing had his most successful

:06:28.:06:33.

year in 2010 as local fishermen cot record amounts. How much do we know

:06:33.:06:38.

about the creatures? You can find out about a -- you can find out at

:06:38.:06:44.

a free talk next week. Our reporter set off to find out about the

:06:44.:06:54.
:06:54.:06:58.

secret life of lobsters. You may recognise them from your

:06:58.:07:04.

dinner table but these lobsters are the single most fish species in

:07:04.:07:08.

Jersey. In an industry worth more than �3 million, the Jersey

:07:08.:07:12.

Fishermen's Association is one of two in the world to gain

:07:12.:07:16.

international status for best practice. What do we know about

:07:16.:07:21.

these creatures and the way they behave? You can find out at a free

:07:21.:07:26.

presentation on Monday evening. It is called the Secret Life of

:07:26.:07:31.

lobsters. He is John Thomson, the president of the Fishermen's

:07:31.:07:38.

Association. -- here is. Obviously, pointing to the fact that it is a

:07:38.:07:45.

super important fishery for us and worth about �7 million. He how

:07:45.:07:51.

important is lobster in Jersey? you mentioned, �3 million in the

:07:51.:07:56.

fishery and it is the single most important species. We have other

:07:56.:08:00.

species like crab but without lobster, the fleet would cease to

:08:00.:08:08.

exist. What happens to these now? These lobsters - we will put them

:08:08.:08:14.

back in the store box and next week they could end up in Italy, France

:08:14.:08:19.

or Spain. They have a few miles ahead of them. They will travel a

:08:19.:08:27.

bit. Thank you very much. That presentation is on Monday evening

:08:27.:08:32.

at 7 o'clock at the St Helier Yacht Club. But now he's got back into

:08:32.:08:35.
