Good evening. Coming up: Fog-bound and stranded - airports struggle to | :00:13. | :00:19. | |
house hundreds of passengers. And why this building has caused a | :00:19. | :00:22. | |
row at the heart of government and the resignation of a top civil | :00:23. | :00:27. | |
servant. And Proms on the cheap - how you | :00:27. | :00:37. | |
:00:37. | :00:42. | ||
can see a world-class orchestra for Hundreds of passengers have been | :00:42. | :00:47. | |
left stranded at Charline at -- Channel Island airports because of | :00:47. | :00:52. | |
extensive fog and bad weather. Bosses in Guernsey and Jersey | :00:52. | :00:55. | |
issued an urgent appeal to help house those passengers whose | :00:55. | :00:59. | |
flights had been cancelled. This morning the fox showed no sign of | :00:59. | :01:09. | |
:01:09. | :01:13. | ||
disappearing. -- the fog. Friday lunchtime at | :01:13. | :01:17. | |
Guernsey airport. As passengers tried to look -- to rebook, many | :01:17. | :01:24. | |
were left wondering us airplanes stayed on the tarmac. With no | :01:24. | :01:27. | |
flights in a road, hundreds were Stan -- stranded with nowhere to | :01:27. | :01:35. | |
stay. My hips are bad. People are just coming past. It has been a | :01:35. | :01:40. | |
very busy week for the island. Where we would normally have some | :01:40. | :01:43. | |
capacity, we were struggling to get that. | :01:43. | :01:47. | |
The fog beat Jersey, too. Flights here were grounded and passengers | :01:47. | :01:53. | |
were stuck. We were booked on the ten o'clock flight to Gatwick to | :01:53. | :01:59. | |
joined a package holiday that was leaving at 4pm. It looks like we | :01:59. | :02:04. | |
are going to lose our package holiday. We will get our money back | :02:04. | :02:12. | |
from the insurance. Bosses at Jersey airport had to appeal for | :02:12. | :02:18. | |
help with many who had come for the washed out here shows. We are | :02:18. | :02:21. | |
grateful to the people who helped us out with accommodation last | :02:21. | :02:30. | |
night. Tonight there is still a potential problem, so we really | :02:30. | :02:36. | |
would like people to help us again by offering accommodation. | :02:37. | :02:40. | |
One flight did manage to get in when we were at Guernsey Airport | :02:40. | :02:45. | |
this lunchtime, but for others it was still waiting game. People are | :02:45. | :02:53. | |
still arriving here to check-in for their flights. We're being told | :02:53. | :02:57. | |
that the fox should lift, but airports a sip -- insisting that, | :02:57. | :03:00. | |
if it does not, contingency plans are in place to ensure that | :03:01. | :03:07. | |
passengers are not left stranded. The former head of Jersey Property | :03:07. | :03:11. | |
Holdings has criticised jersey's Treasury minister over the failed | :03:11. | :03:15. | |
bid for a new police station site. David Flowers said the minister | :03:15. | :03:19. | |
took a foolish gamble and lost. Mr Flowers resigned this week and gave | :03:19. | :03:24. | |
evidence today to a scrutiny investigation into the States' | :03:24. | :03:30. | |
failure to buy Lime Grove House. Our correspondent was at the | :03:30. | :03:35. | |
hearing. What is Lime Grove House and where is it? It is a big office | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
building on the Green Street roundabout. It was built ten years | :03:38. | :03:43. | |
ago. Jersey's, affairs department wanted to buy it corroborate | :03:43. | :03:49. | |
million pounds to use as a new police station. They thought they | :03:49. | :03:54. | |
had secured a deal but they found out that a finance company had be | :03:54. | :04:02. | |
done to it. There is now a scrutiny investigation to find out why. | :04:02. | :04:09. | |
There has been a review of the purchase of Lime Grove House and | :04:09. | :04:12. | |
exactly what went wrong. It was announced in the States that it was | :04:12. | :04:15. | |
going ahead and then suddenly it wasn't, so we felt that we should, | :04:15. | :04:21. | |
perhaps, be looking at it. Senator Ferguson and her team today heard | :04:21. | :04:31. | |
:04:31. | :04:31. | ||
from David Flowers. He said they made an offer for the building at | :04:31. | :04:38. | |
�8.75 million. Then he said that Philip Ozuof Cup that offered by a | :04:38. | :04:43. | |
�500,000, before the deal fell apart. He told the panel that | :04:43. | :04:47. | |
Philip Ozuof was badly advised and that he had made a foolish gamble | :04:47. | :04:54. | |
and loss. He said that the loss of the purchase was bad news for the | :04:54. | :04:59. | |
island. Philip Ozuof told me later on this afternoon that he stands by | :04:59. | :05:05. | |
his decision. I have save taxpayers millions of pounds. We can do | :05:05. | :05:10. | |
better than the original business case that was presented to me on | :05:10. | :05:16. | |
Lime Grove House. I am going to work to find an alternative site | :05:16. | :05:24. | |
that will be more efficient. There were inefficiencies in the site | :05:24. | :05:31. | |
itself. There clearly are cracks between States departments, Jersey | :05:31. | :05:38. | |
Property Holdings and the Treasury. Members and the public alike will | :05:38. | :05:43. | |
wait the outcome of the investigation. | :05:43. | :05:45. | |
Jersey rugby player Michael Le Bourgeois has been banned from | :05:45. | :05:49. | |
driving and fined. The 21-year-old appeared in the magistrates' court | :05:49. | :05:52. | |
today where he was charged with driving over the alcohol limit, | :05:52. | :05:56. | |
having no licence, no insurance and taking a car without the order's | :05:56. | :06:02. | |
consent. He was banned for 23 months and fined �1,600. He says he | :06:02. | :06:08. | |
regrets his actions. Obviously, I am sorry to have let down so many | :06:08. | :06:12. | |
people. It has affected a lot of the youngsters to do look up to me | :06:12. | :06:18. | |
as a role model. I would like to apologise to them and try to make | :06:18. | :06:21. | |
it right, try to help them out with coaching and start helping people | :06:21. | :06:31. | |
:06:31. | :06:34. | ||
out as much as I can. I hope I can eventually be a role model again. | :06:34. | :06:40. | |
He will be a be back -- he will be back in jersey's squad for their | :06:40. | :06:45. | |
trip to Blackheath tomorrow. There will be extensive coverage of the | :06:45. | :06:48. | |
match in Saturday sport seen on BBC Radio Jersey. | :06:48. | :06:50. | |
The Jersey International Air Display has secured a main sponsor | :06:50. | :06:55. | |
for next year, despite this year's event being cancelled. Robert | :06:55. | :06:59. | |
Haines Cooper, who lives in the Seychelles, says he will support | :06:59. | :07:05. | |
the display for the 15th time. It costs �270,000 to put on and will | :07:05. | :07:09. | |
need more sponsors. Yesterday's display fell victim to the weather, | :07:09. | :07:13. | |
the first time it had been cancelled in 35 years. | :07:13. | :07:16. | |
Jersey post as apologised for refusing to deliver recordings of | :07:16. | :07:21. | |
the Bible paid for by church groups. An employee classified the | :07:22. | :07:25. | |
recordings as offensive material and would not deliver them. The | :07:25. | :07:30. | |
Switch On campaign is meant to celebrate the 400th anniversary of | :07:30. | :07:35. | |
the King James Bible. The recordings will now be delivered by | :07:35. | :07:41. | |
volunteers. The Chief Executive of Jersey Post told us it was a big | :07:41. | :07:46. | |
mistake. It was wrong and we apologise profusely for it. My | :07:46. | :07:49. | |
colleague made a mistake in refusing delivery of it. I do not | :07:49. | :07:54. | |
think it really matters what that judgment was. It was completely | :07:54. | :08:00. | |
wrong. We are really sorry and we have offered to distribute that CD | :08:00. | :08:06. | |
free of charge. It is the least we can do. | :08:06. | :08:10. | |
Now it is Free Friday time, when we show you what you can do that is | :08:10. | :08:14. | |
free or costs very little. This week, the music of the Albert Hall | :08:14. | :08:21. | |

money. Are you looking forward to tomorrow | :09:35. | :09:41. | |
