Good evening Tilstock welcome to BBC Channel Islands. Coming up: how | :00:15. | :00:23. | |
and why it did a Guernsey man died in an explosion? | :00:23. | :00:29. | |
This is rare for the United Kingdom, never mind Guernsey. | :00:29. | :00:34. | |
Budget cuts mean staffing problems for Chelsea prison. We assessed the | :00:35. | :00:39. | |
impact. And the Return of the traditional | :00:39. | :00:45. | |
town market - we meet the trader has given a traditional -- a new | :00:45. | :00:55. | |
:00:55. | :00:56. | ||
Investigations are still continuing in to how and why a middle aged man | :00:56. | :01:01. | |
from Guernsey was killed by an explosion and one of the island's | :01:01. | :01:06. | |
most expensive residential areas. Robert Blakemore died in Fort | :01:06. | :01:14. | |
George on Friday night. It has been four days since the explosion. | :01:14. | :01:17. | |
Among the manicured lawns and immaculate properties nobody knew | :01:17. | :01:23. | |
much about the victim. He left in an annex adjoining his parents' | :01:23. | :01:29. | |
house. This is generally a quiet place but in the last few days the | :01:29. | :01:36. | |
area behind this barrier has been a hive of activity. Experts have now | :01:36. | :01:40. | |
returned to the UK. I have been told that this road should open in | :01:40. | :01:45. | |
the next few hours. Police say that the explosive materials have now | :01:45. | :01:49. | |
been made safe and that all four bomb making equipment was found | :01:49. | :01:56. | |
that there was no sign of terrorist activity. | :01:56. | :02:01. | |
The mechanics of the device we have yet to process. We are putting | :02:01. | :02:07. | |
together the pieces. When we reach their inquest we will have a better | :02:07. | :02:12. | |
indication as to what happened. Detectives are trying to piece | :02:12. | :02:16. | |
together what happened. We know that Robert Blakemore called the | :02:16. | :02:19. | |
police before to incident and it is the nature of the phone call which | :02:19. | :02:25. | |
could explain why the blast or card. We are looking at the phone call. | :02:26. | :02:30. | |
It does not appear to be straight forward. Police officers were | :02:30. | :02:36. | |
dispatched because clearly their individual needed police attendance. | :02:36. | :02:46. | |
:02:46. | :02:48. | ||
A post mortem has been carried out A 32-year-old man has been arrested | :02:48. | :02:54. | |
after a woman was sexually assaulted in the Jersey. Police say | :02:54. | :02:57. | |
it happened near the Grand Vaux tennis court just before Saturday | :02:57. | :03:02. | |
morning. The victim was supported by specially trained officers who | :03:02. | :03:12. | |
:03:12. | :03:12. | ||
Sheep farmers in Jersey are meeting an expert in the virus which is | :03:12. | :03:18. | |
causing birth defects and stillborn lambs. Tests last month confirmed | :03:18. | :03:23. | |
that the Schmallenberg virus had affected sheep at a farm in the | :03:23. | :03:28. | |
island. It is thought the virus was brought by my cheese from the | :03:28. | :03:38. | |
:03:38. | :03:38. | ||
Continent. -- midges. | :03:39. | :03:42. | |
An annual report has come from that number of prison officers has | :03:42. | :03:48. | |
fallen below the desired level was the number of prisoners up at La | :03:48. | :03:55. | |
Moye prison. Any fall in levels below recommended levels reveals a | :03:55. | :04:01. | |
funding pressure on the prison. That is true of all state funded | :04:01. | :04:05. | |
organisations trying to meet the demands of the comprehensive | :04:05. | :04:10. | |
spending review. But the prison governor told me that standards had | :04:10. | :04:15. | |
not dropped. But there definitely is pressure. | :04:16. | :04:21. | |
If I took a decision last year to allow staffing numbers to drop. | :04:22. | :04:25. | |
That was in the knowledge that we could only pay for fewer staff the | :04:25. | :04:30. | |
following year. It is the same from the sea here. We will run short | :04:30. | :04:35. | |
because we know we have to reduce our numbers in 2013 to let within | :04:35. | :04:41. | |
budgetary constraints. Bill Miller has been in post for | :04:41. | :04:46. | |
four years. He arrived following the highly critical report into La | :04:47. | :04:53. | |
Moye prison. How does he think the prison is progressing now? | :04:53. | :04:56. | |
He arrived after two consecutive critical reports which highlighted | :04:56. | :05:01. | |
the prison was one of the worst in Europe with practices like slopping | :05:01. | :05:07. | |
out, no proper toilet facilities, limited educational and | :05:07. | :05:11. | |
recreational facilities. But he is confident things have turned around | :05:11. | :05:17. | |
since then. There has been huge investment in | :05:17. | :05:22. | |
the architecture and the buildings. We have also made significant | :05:22. | :05:26. | |
changes in the regime. And in the policies that we used to manage the | :05:26. | :05:31. | |
prison. Will the inspectorate make a return | :05:31. | :05:37. | |
visit? One is scheduled for next year. | :05:37. | :05:44. | |
They expect a very different report them. | :05:44. | :05:49. | |
St Helier has been twinned with the capital of Madeira. A formal | :05:49. | :05:54. | |
agreement was signed today. James Street has been renamed to reflect | :05:54. | :06:01. | |
the links between the two islands. One in 10 people living in Jersey | :06:01. | :06:07. | |
have Portuguese roots. It is important for both | :06:07. | :06:15. | |
communities. As I said to your mare, next year it we will open a region | :06:15. | :06:22. | |
in our island named after St Helier. This is a consequence of something | :06:22. | :06:30. | |
spontaneous. To mark the 100 years since the | :06:30. | :06:34. | |
sinking of the Titanic crowds gathered for a memorial service in | :06:34. | :06:40. | |
Southampton today. Alfred Oliver, from Jersey, was a quarter master | :06:40. | :06:44. | |
on Titanic, and today his granddaughter claimed that the | :06:44. | :06:50. | |
ceremony was a fitting tribute. He saw the I spared. He described | :06:50. | :06:57. | |
it not as white but as dark blue. - - he saw the end spared. He was | :06:57. | :07:04. | |
then told to look after people in the lifeboats. He was a Jersey man. | :07:04. | :07:09. | |
The family all returned because at the time he was only temporarily in | :07:09. | :07:16. | |
Southampton. What happened that night to him and | :07:16. | :07:23. | |
so many others gives me a connection. I just want to be there | :07:23. | :07:29. | |
for Ham. This is when it was spelt but the | :07:29. | :07:34. | |
days of the GMC's market building actually being a market have long | :07:34. | :07:44. | |
gone. -- Guernsey's market building. But those days could return. It has | :07:44. | :07:50. | |
been the Monte's trade for decades. But it has been years since he did | :07:50. | :07:56. | |
it here. Fisher Friday is about returning | :07:56. | :08:02. | |
local produce to the market square. It is for the locals. Every time we | :08:02. | :08:07. | |
hear about the market a rear we want the local producers to come | :08:07. | :08:14. | |
back and create a proper market. -- the market a year. We now have | :08:14. | :08:23. | |
funding and we are saying, let's do The weekly stalls will be some way | :08:23. | :08:30. | |
away from the permanent market turn say once had. But traders are | :08:30. | :08:39. | |
looking for what took that a term. -- looking for to the return. | :08:39. | :08:46. | |
It will be nice to get more local people into local produce. | :08:46. | :08:49. | |
This will not bring back the old market but it will bring back some | :08:49. | :08:57. | |
all memories and some tradition. Before we bring you the weather - | :08:57. | :09:02. | |
the latest figures from turn say what a show that rainfall in March | :09:02. | :09:12. | |
:09:12. | :09:12. | ||
was 53% below what the average. -- Guernsey water. Let's see a friend | :09:12. | :09:22. | |
:09:22. | :09:24. | ||
Showers for the rest of the week. One or two could turn out to be | :09:24. | :09:31. | |
heavy. Some sunshine in between. But not very warm, just 12 Celsius | :09:31. | :09:37. | |
the top temperature. Low pressure anchored off the west coast of | :09:37. | :09:42. | |
Norway. That will bring in the showers. Little changed by the time | :09:42. | :09:48. | |
we get to forestry. Slightly more northerly winds towards the end of | :09:48. | :09:53. | |
the week. Each day will bring colder air than the last. The | :09:53. | :09:57. | |
showers will keep going overnight. They might become isolated but do | :09:57. | :10:02. | |
not be surprised if you hear rain on the roof of the window. The | :10:02. | :10:07. | |
showers will stare with us through to the morning. Overnight | :10:07. | :10:11. | |
temperatures as low as seven Celsius. Show was quite frequent in | :10:11. | :10:16. | |
the morning but more isolated in the afternoon. They could be quite | :10:16. | :10:24. | |
heavy. Winds from the north-west. For the coastal waters, generally | :10:24. | :10:31. | |
very good visibility at sea. Wins Westerleigh, veering north-westerly. | :10:31. | :10:41. | |
:10:41. | :10:42. | ||
Force for. High water - here are the times. Four hour sufferers, | :10:42. | :10:49. | |
most of the beaches are exposed to a north west wind. -- four hour or | :10:49. | :10:56. | |
so for us. The vote Look, colder. The butter on Thursday very few | :10:56. | :11:06. | |
:11:06. | :11:07. | ||
showers. -- but on Thursday. Night- time temperatures fairly law. | :11:07. | :11:17. | |

Feeling chilly with a northerly Today marks the 25th anniversary of | :11:22. | :11:26. | |
Condor first sailing between the Channel Islands and Weymouth. She | :11:26. | :11:32. | |
was given a celebratory water salt today. The captain in charge a | :11:32. | :11:39. | |
quarter of a century ago chatted to the captain in charge of today. | :11:39. | :11:47. | |
It was a 33 metre hydrofoil. We went along way and exposed seas. It | :11:47. | :11:56. | |
was a pioneering route. How challenging was that? | :11:56. | :12:04. | |
On a nice day it was very nice, on a rough day, very rough. | :12:04. | :12:08. | |
Our top story - police in the Jersey think a home-made bomb | :12:08. | :12:12. | |
caused a fatal explosion. Robert Blakemore was found dead in his | :12:12. | :12:20. | |
home on Friday night. That is all I have time for. But with just over | :12:20. | :12:24. |
