Good evening, welcomed. The top stories. | :00:13. | :00:19. | |
Guernsey States scrap the housing laws as preparations begin for a | :00:19. | :00:21. | |
new motor station to control the population. | :00:21. | :00:27. | |
The future at last for the former Odeon cinema in St Helier, as it is | :00:27. | :00:30. | |
sold to the Freedom Church. Turning professional, the local | :00:30. | :00:34. | |
woman off to play the beautiful game in one of Scandinavia's | :00:34. | :00:44. | |
:00:44. | :00:49. | ||
game in one of Scandinavia's Guernsey States has agreed to move | :00:49. | :00:56. | |
ahead to changes to how they manage their population. The housing gulls | :00:56. | :01:00. | |
will be scrapped and a new system of permits could be introduced. It | :01:00. | :01:05. | |
will also give people who work there the right to stay. But there | :01:05. | :01:10. | |
are still -- there is still a long way to go before any definite | :01:10. | :01:13. | |
alternative is decided on. With more than 62,000 people | :01:13. | :01:18. | |
already living in Guernsey, and limited space, the population just | :01:18. | :01:22. | |
cannot keep growing. Coming up with a way of controlling the size and | :01:22. | :01:27. | |
make-up of it is no easy task. Some politicians would say it is a | :01:27. | :01:37. | |
:01:37. | :01:48. | ||
It is difficult, because everybody has got their own view. Sometimes, | :01:48. | :01:53. | |
they see being a local as being here for hundreds of years, some | :01:53. | :01:58. | |
see it as after 15 years. Exploring the views of the politicians was | :01:58. | :02:02. | |
what the debate was all about. There are lots of ideas, such as | :02:02. | :02:09. | |
work permits, but there are no firm proposals. The current group will | :02:09. | :02:13. | |
look at all the information that has gone through the debate, put it | :02:13. | :02:18. | |
together in some form, so that the future group will be able to take | :02:18. | :02:22. | |
the matter forward. The open market took a hit when it was suggested | :02:22. | :02:27. | |
the review could change it. Even though it has been ruled out, some | :02:27. | :02:32. | |
people are concerned it could take a while to bounce back. We will see | :02:32. | :02:37. | |
what the reaction is in the market. Will people pay the premiums for | :02:37. | :02:41. | |
the open market? I cannot answer that, time will tell. It will be | :02:42. | :02:45. | |
end of the year before the state come up with the final plans. We | :02:45. | :02:49. | |
wonder whether the mission has come up with a mission that works or | :02:49. | :02:54. | |
whether it will just please everybody in the process. | :02:55. | :02:59. | |
It is one of Jersey's most iconic and controversial sites, plans to | :02:59. | :03:03. | |
knock it down were scuppered, but it is set for a new lease of life. | :03:03. | :03:07. | |
The former Odeon cinema has been sold for �1 million, but not to a | :03:07. | :03:15. | |
builder or developer, but to a church. | :03:15. | :03:21. | |
2004, and the famous Odeon sign is taken down for the last time. It | :03:21. | :03:27. | |
reopened again in 2005 as the New Forum cinema, only to close its | :03:27. | :03:33. | |
doors again three years ago. This was the vision. A development of | :03:33. | :03:37. | |
shops, offices and flats. But that idea was rejected, because of | :03:37. | :03:44. | |
planning concerns. But now, after months of uncertainty, planning | :03:45. | :03:48. | |
applications and planning rejections, the Odeon building is | :03:48. | :03:53. | |
set to be transformed into this. Soon, this will be our new home, | :03:53. | :04:00. | |
the former Odeon building is to become the Freedom Centre. We have | :04:00. | :04:08. | |
been on a journey for many years, out drink many different facilities, | :04:08. | :04:11. | |
culminating in the school for the last eight years. We see the centre | :04:12. | :04:17. | |
ranging from a cafe and restaurant in the front, with a performance | :04:17. | :04:22. | |
auditorium, the Centre for Creative Arts. But of the owners selling it | :04:22. | :04:26. | |
because they could not get their way? It was not sold out of | :04:26. | :04:31. | |
frustration, it was going through a process, the listing was retained | :04:31. | :04:35. | |
last year, and it was one of the options available. Finally, a plan | :04:36. | :04:41. | |
has been made. It has been a long time in coming, but the future of | :04:41. | :04:49. | |
one of Jersey's most historic and important sites seems to be secured. | :04:49. | :04:54. | |
Small businesses are becoming increasingly vulnerable to theft, a | :04:54. | :04:58. | |
warning from Jersey Police. Although few homes were burgled and | :04:58. | :05:02. | |
2011, the overall number of break- ins. Of the previous year. Most | :05:02. | :05:08. | |
were sheds, carriages, building sites and food kiosks. This cafe | :05:08. | :05:12. | |
was broken into last year. The police have formed a special unit | :05:12. | :05:17. | |
to clamp down on this type of crime. Burglary, as well as the financial | :05:17. | :05:22. | |
impact, it has an emotional impact. If you have been broken into. We | :05:22. | :05:25. | |
are talking about a small group of people responsible for the majority | :05:25. | :05:30. | |
of these burglaries that take place. We are looking to focus our | :05:30. | :05:37. | |
attentions on these people, and bring them to justice. | :05:37. | :05:39. | |
A national conservation organisation is encouraging | :05:39. | :05:45. | |
Guernsey to introduce full sewage treatment. The Marine Conservation | :05:45. | :05:48. | |
Society says while many Guernsey beaches are included in the guide, | :05:48. | :05:52. | |
some are not even considered, because of the potential risk of | :05:52. | :05:55. | |
sewage pollution. The group says it has a policy of encouraging | :05:55. | :06:00. | |
treatment. This week, we are looking ahead to | :06:00. | :06:05. | |
the Olympics in London. But six months to go, two of our athletes | :06:05. | :06:11. | |
are looking to do more than qualify. They are going for gold. | :06:11. | :06:15. | |
It has taken years to build the Olympic Stadium. But now there are | :06:15. | :06:19. | |
just six months until athletes from the Channel Islands could be | :06:19. | :06:23. | |
competing in the greatest games on earth. Many still have to qualify | :06:23. | :06:28. | |
to represent Great Britain, but two who are not only confident of a | :06:28. | :06:35. | |
place but are also tipped to win a medal, Carl Hester and Beckie | :06:35. | :06:38. | |
Herbert. London will be the fourth Olympics that Carl Hester has | :06:38. | :06:43. | |
competed at, he has never won a medal before, but he is in good | :06:43. | :06:47. | |
form, having won silver at the European Championships. Thinking | :06:47. | :06:57. | |
about getting a medal is always at the front of your mind. The chances | :06:57. | :07:06. | |
should be high. As a team, we are coming into the Olympics, where | :07:06. | :07:11. | |
people are expecting us to take the gold medal. We won by the biggest | :07:11. | :07:15. | |
margin ever seen. The women's hockey team is in a strong position | :07:15. | :07:20. | |
to compete for a place on the podium in London. One of the squad | :07:20. | :07:25. | |
members his Jersey's Beckie Herbert. Six months to go, it is an exciting | :07:26. | :07:34. | |
time for any athlete. Although it is really exciting, it is also | :07:35. | :07:38. | |
pretty tough, there is a lot of pressure, we have got a squad with | :07:38. | :07:43. | |
nearly twice as many people as there are places, so we are aware | :07:43. | :07:47. | |
that there are no guarantees that any of us will be out there, at the | :07:47. | :07:50. | |
Olympics. But if I keep training hard, and will give myself the best | :07:51. | :07:55. | |
shot I can. Only a handful of Channel Islanders have won Olympic | :07:55. | :07:59. | |
medals, but with them go the dreams and hopes of not only the islands | :07:59. | :08:08. | |
but the whole nation. A woman from Jersey left the island | :08:08. | :08:11. | |
this week to start a new life as a professional footballer, and it is | :08:11. | :08:18. | |
all down to a chance encounter at the Island Games. | :08:18. | :08:24. | |
Giving her all, Jodie Botterill is going on to bigger and better | :08:24. | :08:28. | |
things. She is joining one of the biggest professional teams in | :08:28. | :08:33. | |
Scandinavia. It is all thanks to her performance at the Island Games. | :08:33. | :08:39. | |
We played against them, and the coach spoke to me, told me how well | :08:39. | :08:43. | |
I played, and I should look into going over there to play. When I | :08:43. | :08:49. | |
get back to Jersey, the J FA hot May, and their coach asked me to go | :08:49. | :08:54. | |
over for a trial. As well as a sporting challenge, she has a new | :08:54. | :08:59. | |
life, culture and language to get used to. I have been told there is | :08:59. | :09:07. | |
a time in winter where there does not have any daylight. The coach | :09:07. | :09:11. | |
said it is a good time to learn the language! The team will miss her, | :09:11. | :09:16. | |
but it is clear her team-mates and coach offal for her. The last year, | :09:16. | :09:23. | |
she has taken on much more of a professional approach to her career. | :09:23. | :09:27. | |
It has culminated in the opportunity she has now. Whinges | :09:27. | :09:32. | |
the play her new team in the next Island Games, let's hope she | :09:32. | :09:36. | |
remembers who gave her the push she needed -- when Jersey play her new | :09:36. | :09:40. | |
team. Jersey Rugby Club have a new weapon | :09:40. | :09:46. | |
in their battle for promotion. They have signed Jason Gething from the | :09:46. | :09:56. | |
club that won National League One Some cold weather tonight and | :09:56. | :10:00. | |
tomorrow. We expect some showers to deny it. More of them to come | :10:00. | :10:05. | |
through the day tomorrow, though not quite as heavy. In the middle | :10:05. | :10:10. | |
of the day, frequent showers, before they fade away. We have got | :10:10. | :10:13. | |
low pressure, it is quite a long way away from the Channel Islands, | :10:13. | :10:18. | |
but it has an influence into northern France. It is less windy | :10:18. | :10:23. | |
by the time we get a lunchtime tomorrow. Into the weekend, we have | :10:23. | :10:28. | |
an area of high pressure moving closer. Towards the end of the day, | :10:28. | :10:32. | |
that allows a warm front to approach from the West. For the | :10:32. | :10:37. | |
moment, some clear skies, and it is quite a cold one. Those brisk winds | :10:37. | :10:43. | |
will move to a north-westerly. Showers until dawn. The | :10:43. | :10:47. | |
temperatures start at four or five degrees. Tomorrow it is not a bad | :10:47. | :10:54. | |
start. It will cloud over somewhat, with showers. But the wind is brisk | :10:54. | :11:04. | |
:11:04. | :11:19. | ||
and from the West or north-west, The surfing is likely to be quite | :11:19. | :11:29. | |
:11:29. | :11:32. | ||
On Saturday, we can expect a bright, fine day. A cold start on Saturday | :11:32. | :11:38. | |
morning, potentially with a touch of frost. More cloud on Saturday | :11:38. | :11:43. |
