:00:51. > :00:56.very happy to be here. A miracle Two young boys from Guernsey have
:00:56. > :01:00.had a lucky escape after being stranded in stormy seas. The pair
:01:00. > :01:05.headed out in a dinghy to go fishing boats and got into
:01:05. > :01:09.difficulty as they battled high waves and strong winds.
:01:09. > :01:13.The stormy weather this week has kept many people from the beaches.
:01:13. > :01:17.Yesterday afternoon, two brothers decided to go fishing in St
:01:17. > :01:22.Sampsons. Rather than casting their lines from the shore, they headed
:01:22. > :01:26.out to sea. This is big dinghy that the two boys went fishing in but
:01:26. > :01:31.they got into difficulty when it was swamped with water. Things got
:01:31. > :01:36.so bad that the two boys decided to swim for it. The waves were too
:01:36. > :01:41.strong and they were forced back to the boat. Luckily for them, a
:01:42. > :01:47.passer-by saw they were in distress and raised the alarm. The ambulance
:01:47. > :01:53.and rescue Service came and a lifeboat was launched.
:01:53. > :01:59.They were both an injured but very cold and very wet. Both has been in
:01:59. > :02:03.the water for 5-10 minutes. They have been struggling to get back to
:02:03. > :02:06.shore and has been unsuccessful so got back in the dinghy. If the
:02:06. > :02:10.brothers may have been cold and frightened after their ordeal but
:02:10. > :02:20.they are alive and have learnt an important lesson when it comes to
:02:20. > :02:21.
:02:21. > :02:24.respecting the forces of nature. Franz's nuclear watch doubt one's
:02:24. > :02:28.safety improvements made to the 58 power plants. It follows stress
:02:28. > :02:32.tests carried out after the Japanese earthquake last year. They
:02:32. > :02:36.are to nuclear reactors close to the Channel Islands on the coast of
:02:36. > :02:43.Flamanville. It says never add -- it says no other reactors need to
:02:43. > :02:47.be shut down that additional measures are needed to prevent it
:02:47. > :02:52.from spreading. If work starts on the road leading
:02:52. > :02:57.to Jersey Airport tonight. The road running from Beaumont Hill past
:02:57. > :03:02.Jersey Rugby Club for will start in March. It will cost three quarters
:03:02. > :03:08.of a million pounds. Any person in charge of the Brook
:03:08. > :03:16.Sexual Health service -- Brook Sexual Health service says there is
:03:16. > :03:23.no Dave Vitty about sexual health. She says the service employees
:03:23. > :03:27.people who are mainly funded by the Government. They want to find out
:03:27. > :03:31.how the service could be better. We are concentrating on getting
:03:31. > :03:37.young people's views on how we can improve the service to better suit
:03:37. > :03:41.them so we are supporting them as best we can. I am interest in
:03:41. > :03:47.working with the outside agencies for youth on the island to make
:03:47. > :03:52.sure we have good links and they feel we are doing what they want.
:03:52. > :03:59.Ideally, we want to get young people understanding about
:03:59. > :04:01.contraception so we get the abortion rate down as well.
:04:01. > :04:06.The Association of Josie charities says the number of people
:04:06. > :04:10.volunteering in the island is on the rise. -- the Association of
:04:10. > :04:15.Josie charities. They are offering their services to local charities
:04:15. > :04:21.for free. We have been to meet some volunteers hoping to get back into
:04:21. > :04:24.paid work. It is all change for John. He
:04:24. > :04:33.worked in banking for two decades ago when he lost his job two years
:04:33. > :04:37.ago, he decided to give volunteering a go. He now helps
:04:37. > :04:42.here at the charity shop. It was depressing when I lost my job.
:04:42. > :04:47.Working with the charity gives me a purpose for getting up in the
:04:47. > :04:55.morning and applying for jobs and quite simply, I can interact with
:04:55. > :05:00.people here rather than sit at home doing nothing. John hopes
:05:01. > :05:05.volunteering will help get him a paid job. Should everyone out of
:05:05. > :05:11.work be doing their bit for charity? I would be in favour of
:05:11. > :05:17.compulsory volunteering because it would be a negative. Volunteering
:05:17. > :05:23.means you want to do it. They would not want people forced upon them.
:05:23. > :05:27.Volunteering is beneficial to people who are out of work.
:05:27. > :05:32.Compulsory charity work may not be an option for the island but it has
:05:32. > :05:39.helped Bonnie. She volunteers for the National Trust for Jersey and
:05:39. > :05:43.has found paid work. It is totally worth it. You can go and play golf
:05:43. > :05:47.but you are not really contributing or putting back into the island.
:05:48. > :05:52.The years that I have been here, I have been a mother and working
:05:52. > :05:57.mother and to get to a time when you want to put a little bit back
:05:57. > :06:04.into Jersey. John continue to search the jobs market and believes
:06:04. > :06:09.volunteering has given him new skills for a new job.
:06:09. > :06:13.And as idea now to boost shopping in St Helier is to offer free
:06:13. > :06:17.parking. Town-centre bosses have suggested free parking could be
:06:17. > :06:21.possible on one day a week for a couple of hours. It would be in a
:06:21. > :06:24.bid to encourage islanders to spend money in town. It follows a
:06:24. > :06:27.questionnaire on the needs of shoppers. We have to talk to the
:06:27. > :06:33.public. We have done a questionnaire on what they feel
:06:33. > :06:39.about things. We have to look at that and suggest a few projects.
:06:39. > :06:49.Baps free parking after 3pm for a few people. -- perhaps free parking
:06:49. > :06:59.for people after 3 o'clock. Later in Spotlight, the young boxer

:07:02. > :07:08.who is fighting back after losing Now, cast your mind back to Emilia
:07:08. > :07:16.Zubeck, the Jersey girl who was diagnosed with throat cancer and
:07:16. > :07:21.went -- had a life-saving operation in Vienna. Bowe was possible after
:07:21. > :07:27.people did Deakin to it -- dug deep in -- as was possible after people
:07:27. > :07:31.dug deep into their pockets. Today, she went to school for the first
:07:31. > :07:38.time. This is Emilia Zubeck who had her
:07:38. > :07:42.oesophagus removed. She had been diagnosed with cancer. This is at
:07:42. > :07:47.Emilia now. She is eating and drinking normally and the Pride for
:07:47. > :07:54.her parents is clear on their faces. It is hard to believe that
:07:54. > :08:04.something like that happened to have. We always say that she is a
:08:04. > :08:06.
:08:06. > :08:11.good example of proof that you can fight and win. I have got Santa
:08:11. > :08:20.clause on my window. With breakfast done and her hat and gloves on, it
:08:21. > :08:30.is time for Emilia and her mum to walk to school. Would you like
:08:31. > :08:31.
:08:31. > :08:38.about the school so much? When we are doing art. And when we are
:08:38. > :08:45.painting and doing our portraits of ass. Emilia arrives and meets up
:08:45. > :08:50.with her friends. My name is Emilia. It is something her parents thought
:08:50. > :08:55.she would never be able to do. is so happy. She really enjoy is
:08:55. > :09:02.going to school. She has a lot of friends and we are very happy and
:09:02. > :09:08.can't believe that this could happen. It is a miracle for us.
:09:08. > :09:13.Good morning Emilia. Because of her cancer, going to
:09:13. > :09:17.school was unthinkable for Emilia and her family five years ago. She
:09:17. > :09:22.has been through a lot despite a young age. Now they are living
:09:22. > :09:29.every day as it comes. We don't worry about the little things like
:09:29. > :09:33.today or tomorrow. We don't make plans. Emilia has a check-up in
:09:33. > :09:40.Southampton in a free week's time. Their family are hoping it will be
:09:40. > :09:47.the all clear and they are hoping they will be able to start the new
:09:47. > :09:57.year with a new future. Isn't she gorgeous? Now a look at
:09:57. > :09:58.
:09:58. > :10:05.Good evening. It stays unsettled this week with another batch of wet
:10:05. > :10:12.weather coming. We are expecting gale-force winds first things --
:10:12. > :10:16.first thing tomorrow morning. Look at these whether France as they
:10:16. > :10:21.trickle down through Ireland, passing through the south-west of
:10:21. > :10:24.England and arriving across the Channel Islands tomorrow. The
:10:24. > :10:30.strength of the wind is picking up overnight tonight with blustery
