:00:15. > :00:20.Coming up: the cost of BT, doubts over whether women here will get
:00:20. > :00:24.their now banned breast implants removed for free. Also tonight, we
:00:24. > :00:28.look around Guernsey's new hospice and ask where it will find the
:00:28. > :00:38.money to keep going. And milking the Jersey name, as

:00:47. > :00:52.surgeons who carried out breast enlargements using the
:00:52. > :00:56.controversial French PIP implants to remove them without charging. A
:00:56. > :00:59.consultant plastic surgeon who has used them on patients in Jersey has
:00:59. > :01:03.offered to give his time for free to remove those implants. In
:01:03. > :01:08.Guernsey, a private healthcare provider has offered to give free
:01:08. > :01:12.checks to all women with implants. These are the breast implants that
:01:12. > :01:16.are causing the concern. Both the island's help services so that none

:01:33. > :01:37.- dozens of women. Here at the clinic in St Hellier, Adrian
:01:37. > :01:42.Grobbelar is holding a private clinic. He has used these implants
:01:42. > :01:45.in the past. Today his secretary told me that he would be giving his
:01:45. > :01:50.time for free to those who wanted them removed. What remains unclear
:01:50. > :01:53.is who would pay for the theatre time and staff. TPs have reported a
:01:53. > :02:00.rise in the number of women concerned about the implants. --

:02:08. > :02:14.which in plant they have had. Guernsey, the private health
:02:14. > :02:17.provider, Centre for Modern Medicine, is providing free local
:02:17. > :02:22.check-ups to any woman who has the PIP implants. They have also gone
:02:22. > :02:27.further saying that if any implants need replacing or if a woman
:02:27. > :02:31.decides she wants to go down that route to anyway, they will offer
:02:31. > :02:36.the procedure at a reduced tariff. We need to understand what happened
:02:36. > :02:42.in the United Kingdom. A review was announced by the UK health service
:02:42. > :02:46.today. That will do little to allay the women -- fears of women here
:02:46. > :02:50.who are wondering how safe their implants are and if they need to be
:02:50. > :02:54.removed, who will pay. Two people had to climb out of a
:02:54. > :02:58.bedroom window on to their route to escape a fire in St Hellier last
:02:59. > :03:02.night. The fire was on the first floor at a home on Bellozane Avenue
:03:02. > :03:09.and broke out at around 11pm. It was brought under control by the
:03:09. > :03:13.fire service. The cause is being investigated.

:03:40. > :03:45.we have 700 missing person reports and those people are found within
:03:45. > :03:50.hours or days. She has now been missing for almost four weeks. The
:03:50. > :03:52.appeal today is really not just from members of the public but to
:03:52. > :03:57.Margarida Nascimento de Ascensao herself. You are not in any trouble,
:03:57. > :04:04.we are concerned for your welfare. If you do not want people to know
:04:04. > :04:12.why you are, please do contact us. Patients and staff have been

:04:33. > :04:36.bedsheets to the bedrooms, there are lots of admirers at Guernsey's
:04:36. > :04:42.new hospice. I am sure they are going to be very happy years. I
:04:42. > :04:46.think we are all going to be happy because it is a luxury for us.
:04:46. > :04:52.Relatives have been flabbergasted by how lovely it is. The patients

:04:59. > :05:05.technologies such as this hoist system that goes all around the

:05:15. > :05:19.hospice and all seven on suite bedrooms have easy access to the
:05:19. > :05:24.outdoors. This is not just a story about a new hospice. It still needs
:05:24. > :05:28.to be paid for, approximately �1 million to write off, and that is
:05:28. > :05:31.before covering the annual running costs of almost three-quarters of a
:05:32. > :05:35.million pounds. The hospice is not resting on its laurels and is
:05:35. > :05:40.trying to generate new income streams. We now have a marvellous
:05:40. > :05:44.training room and we are hoping to provide that as a service to the
:05:44. > :05:50.island if people want to lease the room which will give us a small

:07:20. > :07:24.bigger. Last summer, a law was changed which means that farmers
:07:25. > :07:29.can now send power embryos to countries where there is a demand
:07:29. > :07:35.for pedigree cattle. The first ones have just arrived in Argentina.
:07:35. > :07:41.They are a few days old and are extracted from the donor cows and
:07:41. > :07:48.deep-frozen. They are exported as about -50 degrees. They have gone
:07:48. > :07:53.to Argentina and been given better than a clearance at the weekend.
:07:53. > :07:58.Each embryo can reach up to �500 for farmers. Now the forest seemed
:07:58. > :08:04.interested in a bit of the Jersey too. The dairy industry in China is
:08:04. > :08:08.growing rapidly but they are not yet in the position to take on high
:08:08. > :08:13.and genetics. They will be there soon. It is a marvellous
:08:13. > :08:17.opportunity for Jersey. It has also been welcomed by Anne Perchard. She
:08:17. > :08:23.has been farming since 1950 and says that the decision is a long
:08:23. > :08:27.time coming. It is wonderful because it is as a diversification
:08:27. > :08:37.for the dairy farmer. He now has a pool of embryos that he can sell.
:08:37. > :08:40.It must be really top-quality stuff, I must say. Farmers think they will
:08:40. > :08:44.export 200 embryos a year. Agricultural bosses says this
:08:44. > :08:48.decision will not dilute the Jersey breed but strengthen it and will
:08:48. > :08:55.provide a welcome financial boost for one of the island's most
:08:55. > :09:01.important industries. A film crew will be taking in the
:09:01. > :09:06.sites around their C this week. For the BBC share Countryfile, they
:09:06. > :09:10.have been filming of the island's West Coast finding more about Lihou
:09:10. > :09:13.Island. The plan was to have a go at ormering and learn more about
:09:13. > :09:18.the tradition that that was not the only thing the presenters will be
:09:18. > :09:22.focusing on. There are loads of great stories we can cover. We are
:09:22. > :09:27.looking at dairy farming, the possibilities for what can be grown
:09:27. > :09:32.here because there's so much light and warmth. Also, I will be looking
:09:32. > :09:36.at the oil spill that happened in the 1960s and at the impact that
:09:36. > :09:40.has had on the island. If you want to see what they have
