Good evening. Welcome to our first BBC Channel Islands of the week. | :00:13. | :00:19. | |
Coming up: Why and break can stop a breakdown, autism charities demand | :00:19. | :00:24. | |
more help for respite care. Plus a new footage of the sniffer | :00:24. | :00:28. | |
dog that sparked the search of Haut de la Garenne. | :00:28. | :00:34. | |
And the house with 45 at vacancies. Nominations begin for Guernsey's | :00:34. | :00:44. | |

Parents caring for children with autism are facing a daily struggle | :00:49. | :00:53. | |
to continue looking after them and the rest of their family according | :00:53. | :00:58. | |
to one local charity worker. Sally Gallichan is the trustee for Autism | :00:58. | :01:03. | |
Jersey. She says without better respite care many families find it | :01:03. | :01:07. | |
hard to cope. It comes as the island's health minister, Deputy | :01:07. | :01:13. | |
Anne Pryke, faced a Scrutiny Panel today to answer questions. Sally | :01:13. | :01:16. | |
Gallichan joined the earlier to explain just how important respite | :01:16. | :01:22. | |
care really is. It is crucially important for families and | :01:22. | :01:26. | |
individuals in that family, so it could be the sufferer or the family | :01:26. | :01:33. | |
member. Very seldom is it offered. Approximately how many people are | :01:33. | :01:39. | |
we talking about? It is hard to quantify how many families because | :01:39. | :01:44. | |
many families have not accessed support yet. But if we look at | :01:44. | :01:50. | |
statistics we are looking at 700 people who would be diagnosed as | :01:50. | :01:56. | |
autistic at some stage. What sort of form does respite care take? Is | :01:56. | :02:01. | |
it a centre where people would go for help inside the home? At the | :02:01. | :02:05. | |
moment the model in Jersey is a bricks and mortar solution and | :02:05. | :02:10. | |
individuals go to that setting. But we believe that is not the best fit | :02:10. | :02:14. | |
and it needs to be more flexible and creative centred around the | :02:14. | :02:21. | |
individual's need. Is that what happens in the UK? It has moved | :02:21. | :02:25. | |
towards that personalise care system whereby the individual has | :02:25. | :02:31. | |
choices and there is more choice. Presumably a more individualised | :02:31. | :02:36. | |
service will cost more. Are you looking for more funding? | :02:36. | :02:39. | |
necessarily. When people have personalised funding and they get | :02:39. | :02:44. | |
the support that suits them, they reduce the level of support they | :02:44. | :02:49. | |
need overall and it reduces the cost. Sally Gallichan, thank you | :02:49. | :02:54. | |
very much. If you have experience of or an | :02:54. | :03:04. | |

The police are investigating the unexplained death of a 90 knew Lord | :03:09. | :03:15. | |
from Jersey. They confirmed he died at 2:30pm yesterday. A post-mortem | :03:15. | :03:19. | |
examination will be carried out. The Channel Islands will tomorrow | :03:19. | :03:23. | |
begin to make their case for why the UK Government should not be | :03:23. | :03:28. | |
allowed to scrap VAT relief. No value consignment relief allows | :03:28. | :03:32. | |
companies here to sell low-value goods tax free. It was announced | :03:32. | :03:37. | |
last year that it would be stopped in April. They hearing at the Royal | :03:37. | :03:41. | |
Courts of Justice in London begins today and is expected to begin on | :03:41. | :03:45. | |
Thursday. Video footage has been published of | :03:45. | :03:52. | |
the initial stages in the Haut de la Garenne investigation. In 2008, | :03:52. | :03:56. | |
Jersey police began investigating and discovered what they said could | :03:56. | :04:01. | |
be the partial remains of a child. But it was the work of a sniffer | :04:01. | :04:07. | |
dog that gave them enough evidence to start the work in the first | :04:07. | :04:09. | |
place. This contains flash photography. | :04:09. | :04:15. | |
This was a defining moment in the Haut de la Garenne investigation. | :04:15. | :04:18. | |
Video footage of a sniffer dog searching that former children's | :04:18. | :04:23. | |
home. Ad is trained to smile and Human remains and it was this | :04:23. | :04:29. | |
reaction that encouraged the police to start digging. The dog reacted | :04:29. | :04:33. | |
to a particular part of the building and that led us to date in | :04:33. | :04:42. | |
the area where we found what turned out to be a disputed fragments. But | :04:42. | :04:46. | |
it was also in the area where builders before had found some | :04:46. | :04:50. | |
bones which they were convinced were children. The dog was brought | :04:50. | :04:55. | |
from Yorkshire to work in Jersey. He has been used in a number of | :04:55. | :05:01. | |
high-profile cases, including the Madeleine McCann investigation. | :05:01. | :05:06. | |
suppose I had a typical police officer's scepticism whether a dog | :05:06. | :05:13. | |
would be able to detect traces of dead human flesh in an area where | :05:13. | :05:18. | |
no one had been for some time. footage was posted on an internet | :05:18. | :05:23. | |
blog, but the man behind it will not speak on camera because his | :05:24. | :05:28. | |
family and himself have received death threats, but he hopes it will | :05:28. | :05:33. | |
raise awareness of their historic abuse investigation and resolve | :05:33. | :05:38. | |
many unanswered questions. Guernsey is one step closer to a | :05:38. | :05:43. | |
new bus service. An agreement has been made between the Environment | :05:43. | :05:47. | |
Department and HCT Group. The service should take over from | :05:48. | :05:53. | |
Island Coachways in April. It is also Jersey's preferred bidder. | :05:53. | :05:58. | |
Two extra reception classes will open in Jersey in September after a | :05:58. | :06:03. | |
rise in demand for primary school places. The new classes will be at | :06:03. | :06:06. | |
Rouge Bouillon and Samares schools. It will help keep the average class | :06:06. | :06:14. | |
size down to 26 pupils. Coming up later in Spotlight: The | :06:14. | :06:18. | |
dancers getting into the swing of it with a special dance to | :06:18. | :06:24. | |
celebrate the queen's diamond jubilee. | :06:24. | :06:30. | |
In just over a month's time people in Guernsey go to the polls to vote | :06:30. | :06:35. | |
for food they want to represent them in the States. All 45 seats | :06:35. | :06:39. | |
are up for grabs and today nominations opened for this year's | :06:39. | :06:44. | |
candidates. At the top of the stairs that 45 | :06:44. | :06:47. | |
deputies meet every month to make the decisions that affect everyone | :06:47. | :06:52. | |
of us in Guernsey. Some of them have said they are not going to run | :06:52. | :06:56. | |
in the next election, but there are some new faces who have come here | :06:56. | :07:00. | |
to the Royal Court today for the first date of registration as a | :07:00. | :07:06. | |
candidate. The man overseeing this is the deputy registrar. What has | :07:06. | :07:11. | |
the turnout been like so far? Nominations opened at 9 o'clock | :07:11. | :07:15. | |
this morning and there was a flurry of activity within the first 20 | :07:15. | :07:22. | |
minutes. We have 15 or 20 candidates. By the end of the week | :07:22. | :07:29. | |
how many do you think you'll get? Our expectation will be somewhere | :07:29. | :07:35. | |
between 70 and 90. There are just over 29,000 people signed up to | :07:35. | :07:41. | |
register in the election. It is down on previous numbers. Why is | :07:41. | :07:47. | |
that? It is a little disappointing that the numbers are down. The | :07:47. | :07:54. | |
comparative figure is at the 30,000 of eight years ago. One does not | :07:54. | :07:59. | |
know why. It could be apathy, it could be other reasons I am not | :07:59. | :08:05. | |
aware of. Already the candidates will be electioneering and calling | :08:05. | :08:11. | |
from house to house and they will be giving out manifestos. Interest | :08:11. | :08:18. | |
will be stimulated by that process. Just a few days to go and by the | :08:18. | :08:21. | |
end of this week we will know who the people are who want to take up | :08:21. | :08:29. | |
the reins of power. Rugby and Jersey's lead at the top | :08:29. | :08:34. | |
of the table is down to a four points after they suffered their | :08:34. | :08:40. | |
first defeat since October. They lost to bottom club Barking, ending | :08:40. | :08:46. | |
an 18 game winning streak. There was confusion over the weekend with | :08:46. | :08:54. | |
Guernsey's table and they are top of their division. The table was | :08:54. | :08:58. | |
showing they had been overtaken, but they are clear up with 91 | :08:58. | :09:04. | |
points. Channel Island's hockey star Beckie Herbert is hopeful of | :09:04. | :09:08. | |
making Team GB for the Olympics. She was in Devon over the weekend | :09:08. | :09:12. | |
meeting young hockey players and she says she is confident about | :09:12. | :09:18. | |
making the team. The selection process is tough. There are 28 of | :09:19. | :09:23. | |
us vying for only 16 places, so it will be tough on the girls who | :09:23. | :09:28. | |
missed out. I have been there before and I am hoping I will not | :09:28. | :09:35. | |
be there again. It is all part of it and that his elite sport. The | :09:35. | :09:40. | |
competitiveness drives our training on and makes our standards higher. | :09:40. | :09:45. | |
It is something which helps the final performance. There has been | :09:45. | :09:54. | |
lots of fog around and I think Over the next week we have got a | :09:54. | :09:59. | |
lot of fine and dry whether to look forward to. High pressure is in | :09:59. | :10:05. | |
charge, although the mist and the fog is quite tricky. Some days we | :10:05. | :10:09. | |
will have quite a lot of sunshine and others it will remain quite | :10:09. | :10:14. | |
misty. There is the high pressure and that is why we have got settled | :10:14. | :10:20. | |
weather and that does not move over the next 24 hours. It slowly drifts | :10:20. | :10:25. | |
away to the east through Wednesday and into Thursday. A couple of | :10:25. | :10:30. | |
weather fronts out here get closer to the islands at the end of the | :10:30. | :10:35. | |
day on Friday. This evening and overnight the mist and low cloud | :10:35. | :10:41. | |
will return. Overnight temperatures are down to five or six degrees. | :10:41. | :10:48. | |
Tomorrow morning it is a mistake, in places foggy, start with a slow | :10:48. | :10:52. | |
improvement and by the afternoon some sunny spells will develop. The | :10:52. | :10:58. | |
winds are light and where we get the sunshine that temperatures will | :10:58. | :11:08. | |
:11:08. | :11:23. | ||
be up to 14 or 15. These are the If you are heading for the beach, | :11:23. | :11:28. | |
you may well be disappointed because the waves are not very big. | :11:28. | :11:33. |
