the man who has been Jersey's There are urgent calls to implement | :00:42. | :00:48. | |
maternity leave laws in the Jersey. New parents currently have no legal | :00:48. | :00:52. | |
entitlement to time off work. Jersey Child Care Trust is piling | :00:52. | :01:02. | |

pressure on the state to change the Pressures mother and baby time. In | :01:09. | :01:13. | |
Jersey it is a luxury not everybody can enjoy as there is no maternity | :01:13. | :01:19. | |
leave law. This mother does not think it is right. I do not think | :01:19. | :01:23. | |
it is fair because it puts too much pressure on women not to spend as | :01:24. | :01:29. | |
much time as they can with their babies when they are young. They do | :01:29. | :01:36. | |
not stay babies for a very long. Some private employers to match the | :01:36. | :01:42. | |
UK to laws on maternity leave. But many do not. Childcare bosses want | :01:42. | :01:48. | |
equal right to maternity leave. is absolutely vital we have this | :01:48. | :01:51. | |
maternity legislation in place to enable mothers to spend time with | :01:51. | :01:56. | |
their children, bonding and the taxing in the first year of life. | :01:56. | :02:01. | |
Social security does give cash allowances to mums who have paid | :02:01. | :02:06. | |
contributions. And new law is being drafted which would see new mum's | :02:06. | :02:14. | |
getting 18 weeks off work. It is two weeks' paid maternity leave, | :02:14. | :02:21. | |
with six weeks' unpaid. If you have been employed for 15 months, and | :02:21. | :02:28. | |
title but for a further six weeks. The new law should be in place | :02:28. | :02:33. | |
within nine months, good news for mums and a small victory for | :02:33. | :02:43. | |

Two men appeared in court today in connection with the theft of | :02:43. | :02:46. | |
thousands of pounds worth of jewellery from a Jersey home. Carl | :02:46. | :02:49. | |
Murphy, 47, is accused of burglary and theft at the house in St Martin. | :02:50. | :02:53. | |
44-year-old Lee Anderson is charged with handling stolen goods. The men | :02:54. | :02:57. | |
will next appear in court on 8 December. | :02:57. | :03:01. | |
Thirteen jobs are to go at Guernsey Post as a result of cutting its | :03:01. | :03:05. | |
delivery service to five days a week. The change comes into force | :03:05. | :03:09. | |
in the New Year. The firm says it's a result of steady losses as more | :03:09. | :03:18. | |
people use the internet. As you may have seen on the | :03:18. | :03:21. | |
national news, the European Union has held one of its most important | :03:22. | :03:26. | |
meetings since the end of the Second World War. At stake, how to | :03:26. | :03:32. | |
deal with its debt crisis. The Channel Islands and very much part | :03:32. | :03:37. | |
of the global economy. Mike Wilkins has been looking at the possible | :03:37. | :03:42. | |
effects of last night date with debt. | :03:42. | :03:49. | |
This is the moment of truth, isn't it? That is what one of the media | :03:49. | :03:55. | |
asked Nicolas Sarkozy. The truth is some way off. Banks have accepted a | :03:55. | :04:00. | |
50% loss. The UK bail-out fund will be boosted. Banks will have to | :04:00. | :04:05. | |
raise more capital. Some in the Channel Islands feel it is false to | :04:05. | :04:10. | |
claim that the Eurozone is on the way to recovery. European leaders | :04:10. | :04:15. | |
were strong on rhetoric and short on real accents. There are some | :04:15. | :04:19. | |
good things. They are inching towards a conclusion. I do not | :04:19. | :04:25. | |
think this is somehow the revelation the word was looking for. | :04:25. | :04:27. | |
By what effect will at last night's meeting have on the Channel | :04:28. | :04:34. | |
Islands? Jersey finance say the island is not exposed to get like | :04:34. | :04:39. | |
other countries, but more work is needed to resolve the issues for | :04:39. | :04:44. | |
the long term. It is a similar story in currency. As far as | :04:44. | :04:47. | |
Guernsey is concerned, we should not be unduly concerned. We have to | :04:48. | :04:54. | |
be alert to what is going on. The reality is, people's pensions at | :04:54. | :04:59. | |
stake. The security of bank accounts. These are very high | :04:59. | :05:05. | |
stakes games. The decisions made last night were better than feared | :05:05. | :05:10. | |
but less than many hoped. This is a global problem. It appears we are | :05:10. | :05:18. | |
all going to have to get used to be turbulence in uncertain times. | :05:18. | :05:21. | |
Guernsey's 201 Squadron they have been disbanded, but its links with | :05:21. | :05:28. | |
the island remains. They attended a special ceremony today. It is a | :05:28. | :05:32. | |
squadron affiliated with Guernsey for decades. Having been disbanded | :05:32. | :05:38. | |
earlier this year, former members travelled to the island today to | :05:38. | :05:42. | |
leave a very special mark. The standard will remain here in the | :05:42. | :05:48. | |
hope one day it may be reformed. At a special ceremony attended by | :05:48. | :05:50. | |
representatives from a number of local organisations, the standard | :05:50. | :06:00. | |
was handed over to the Lieutenant Governor. You excellently, -- Your | :06:00. | :06:07. | |
Excellency... I except this standard. It is an enduring symbol | :06:07. | :06:11. | |
of the long-standing and honourable association of 201 Squadron. It was | :06:11. | :06:19. | |
a move that went against normal Rayef protocol. The Guernsey has | :06:19. | :06:22. | |
special permission. It recognises the long affiliation between the | :06:23. | :06:27. | |
island and the Royal Air Force. Having chosen Liberation Day For | :06:27. | :06:31. | |
its last public parade, the squadron has been keen to highlight | :06:31. | :06:36. | |
the importance of its association with Guernsey. It is hoped today's | :06:36. | :06:41. | |
ceremony will have reinforced that. We do hope that in the future of | :06:41. | :06:47. | |
the squadron will -- will reform, and the future officer commanding | :06:47. | :06:50. | |
will have to come here to collect the standard and re-energised the | :06:50. | :06:56. | |
affiliation. Until then, the standard will be kept safe at | :06:56. | :07:00. | |
Government House. We will catch it clean so that at big events to | :07:00. | :07:05. | |

glimpse of it. Only three days until the clocks go back. Spare a | :07:12. | :07:16. | |
thought for the man who has been clambering around inside Jersey's | :07:16. | :07:23. | |
churches, changing their clocks, for 65 years. At the age of 77, he | :07:23. | :07:32. | |
is winding down and needs somebody to take over. | :07:32. | :07:38. | |
I left school and drifted into the family business. I suppose I start | :07:38. | :07:45. | |
at working on watches and clocks one knows about 12 years old. It | :07:45. | :07:51. | |
developed from there. The first o'clock I'd saw was at St Lawrence | :07:51. | :08:01. | |
parish hall. It must have been around 1946 or 1947. I have carried | :08:01. | :08:06. | |
on ever since. The problem now is my age and my arthritis. It is very | :08:07. | :08:10. | |
difficult for me to combat growing to some of these trucks clocks | :08:10. | :08:16. | |
because of the steep staircases. -- to come into some of these church | :08:16. | :08:24. | |
clocks. There was nobody to follow me. The Church has to wait for a | :08:24. | :08:27. | |
year until an organisation comes over here, which they do on an | :08:27. | :08:35. | |
annual basis, or they would have to bring them over personally, which | :08:35. | :08:42. | |
would be very expensive. My family and my partner say I should stop. | :08:42. | :08:47. | |
It is alive. It away I am disappointed I have to stop. It is | :08:47. | :08:51. | |
only because my body has become rather more difficult to handle and | :08:51. | :09:01. | |
:09:01. | :09:02. | ||
the clocks. If I had fitter legs, I would not be stopping. There we are, | :09:02. | :09:09. | |
job done. Finally, a baby seal has been rescued in Jersey after it was | :09:09. | :09:15. | |
the way from its mum. The pup, Barnacle, is less than a week old, | :09:15. | :09:20. | |
and was banned on rocks at Corbiere yesterday. Rescuers talking to a | :09:20. | :09:28. | |
local vet. He will be flown to the UK tomorrow. As far as we can tell, | :09:28. | :09:34. | |
Barnacle is doing OK. We got him or her rehydrated, which is the most | :09:34. | :09:42. | |
challenging part. Now we're looking to get Barnacle to somewhere where | :09:42. | :09:52. | |
:09:52. | :09:52. | ||
they are more appropriately able to Good evening. Some patchy rain | :09:52. | :09:58. | |
tonight. A milder night compared to the last few nights. The winds are | :09:58. | :10:04. | |
generally quite light. It may be misty. Whether France in the first | :10:04. | :10:10. | |
half of the night. They move away. We keep a lot of cloud until later | :10:10. | :10:14. | |
that day. High pressure will try things out and give cause some late | :10:14. | :10:19. | |
sunshine. That is unlikely. For the weekend, it gets better. The | :10:19. | :10:25. | |
weather front will approach this on Saturday. It remains to the West. | :10:25. | :10:31. | |
Dry and sunny on Saturday. Some brightness on Sunday. It clouds | :10:31. | :10:36. | |
over later. Unsettled for the next big days. A band of cloud giving | :10:36. | :10:41. | |
outbreaks of rain. Petering out towards dawn. 11 degrees the | :10:41. | :10:46. | |
minimum temperature. Through the day tomorrow, not a great deal of | :10:46. | :10:53. | |
change. Wicky plot of cloud. A few chinks of sunshine break through | :10:53. | :11:01. | |
the cloud. North East wins. For the coastal waters forecast, mainly | :11:02. | :11:11. | |
