Ssecretive and confusing - claims a compensation scheme for abuse | :00:12. | :00:18. | |
victims won't help all who need it. Plus, it cost millions of pounds | :00:19. | :00:21. | |
and weighs hundreds of tonnes - Guernsey welcomes its biggest | :00:21. | :00:31. | |
:00:31. | :00:33. | ||
machine. Festival fever - we need the bans | :00:33. | :00:43. | |
:00:43. | :00:44. | ||
There are urgent calls for Jersey's historic abuse compensation claim | :00:44. | :00:49. | |
scheme to change. Victims of child abuse at Jersey care homes are to | :00:49. | :00:53. | |
be offered a government payout and the deadline to apply is the end of | :00:53. | :00:56. | |
this month. But politician Deputy Mike Higgins has hit out at the | :00:56. | :01:03. | |
scheme, saying it needs to be more transparent. | :01:03. | :01:06. | |
Time is running out for victims of historic abuse in Jersey to claim | :01:06. | :01:10. | |
compensation. But the deadline, set by the Council of Ministers, is too | :01:10. | :01:14. | |
soon, according to one backbencher. Deputy Mike Higgins wants the | :01:15. | :01:19. | |
scheme extended past the end of September. He also says the levels | :01:19. | :01:24. | |
of compensation need to be more transparent. I believe it is | :01:24. | :01:27. | |
important this is actually in the public arena, there have been too | :01:27. | :01:31. | |
many deals done behind the scenes in the past and not always for the | :01:31. | :01:40. | |
benefit of islanders. The Chief Minister says he is willing to | :01:40. | :01:42. | |
discuss the scheme with Deputy Higgins but believes the | :01:42. | :01:44. | |
compensation levels are already fair. These are very difficult and | :01:45. | :01:47. | |
legal areas where you need to take appropriate legal advice, lawyers | :01:47. | :01:50. | |
talk to lawyers representing the claimants as well so it's very | :01:50. | :01:52. | |
difficult to do that in a parliamentary setting and elsewhere | :01:53. | :02:02. | |
:02:03. | :02:06. | ||
in the world it would be an executive decision. A fair scheme, | :02:06. | :02:09. | |
according to the Care Leavers Association, set up to help victims | :02:09. | :02:12. | |
of historic abuse, is to extend the deadline. To extend the time limit | :02:12. | :02:16. | |
is a good thing because people are still coming forward and a lot of | :02:16. | :02:20. | |
people are a little unsure as to whether to go ahead or not. That | :02:20. | :02:23. | |
chance to choose is expiring quickly. If Deputy Higgins's | :02:23. | :02:26. | |
proposition fails to be adopted, victims have just weeks left to | :02:26. | :02:36. | |
:02:36. | :02:37. | ||
make a decision which could last a lifetime. | :02:37. | :02:40. | |
Guernsey's new �14 million electricity generator has arrived. | :02:40. | :02:43. | |
Guernsey Electricity say it should help secure local suppliers once it | :02:43. | :02:48. | |
is up and running next year. But weighing hundreds of tonnes, it was | :02:48. | :02:53. | |
not the easiest of items to get to the island. | :02:53. | :02:56. | |
As the crowds gathered, there was a sense of excitement building about | :02:56. | :03:06. | |
:03:06. | :03:08. | ||
what was going on behind here. something like this happens, you | :03:08. | :03:15. | |
come down here and wait around. am a big Canwick by trade -- and | :03:15. | :03:20. | |
mechanic by trade. And this is what they were all waiting for. The | :03:20. | :03:22. | |
biggest piece of machinery ever offloaded in Guernsey. Costing �14 | :03:22. | :03:25. | |
million and weighing in at 360 tonnes, meaning it's not that easy | :03:25. | :03:29. | |
to get around. Once in place, this should help power the island until | :03:29. | :03:38. | |
2050. A little apprehensive. It is just good to see the thing is done | :03:38. | :03:41. | |
and the job has been completed safely. Another day, another part | :03:41. | :03:45. | |
of the journey. Any moment this will be moving down the north side | :03:45. | :03:52. | |
to its final destination, the power station. But with such an effort | :03:52. | :04:01. | |
made to get it here, you have to ask why we need it. This is part of | :04:01. | :04:06. | |
a programme of replacing our older plants. Her oldest engine is 35 | :04:06. | :04:09. | |
years old and this is part of what people pay their electricity bill | :04:09. | :04:14. | |
for. Part is for the energy we import and part is for investing in | :04:14. | :04:17. | |
infrastructure. Whilst seeing the new technology is a crowd pleaser, | :04:17. | :04:20. | |
increasing bills to pay for it are not. Guernsey Electricity is | :04:20. | :04:27. | |
looking at ways round that. One of the things we're looking for is how | :04:27. | :04:30. | |
we can do it to become more affordable for the customers. | :04:30. | :04:33. | |
next challwnge will be getting this into here. Before work starts to | :04:33. | :04:36. | |
install it, and help secure the island's power supply for decades | :04:36. | :04:42. | |
to come. The design of Jersey's new buses | :04:42. | :04:46. | |
have been unveiled. They will have parish names on them in Jerriais | :04:46. | :04:49. | |
and multi-coloured sail shapes. Islanders chose the look in an | :04:49. | :04:54. | |
online poll. It will be used across the fleet when CT Plus takes over | :04:54. | :04:57. | |
from the current operator in the new year. | :04:57. | :05:00. | |
Jersey Rugby Club made history at the weekend as they played their | :05:00. | :05:04. | |
first ever match in the second tier of English rugby. Their opponents, | :05:04. | :05:06. | |
Cornish Pirates, finished very near the top of the championship last | :05:06. | :05:13. | |
season so it was never going to be an easy start. | :05:13. | :05:17. | |
Playing at the highest level of rugby the islands have ever seen. | :05:17. | :05:19. | |
Promotion after promotion has led Jersey to the championship, the | :05:20. | :05:24. | |
second division of English rugby. Their opponents, the Cornish | :05:24. | :05:26. | |
Pirates, experienced, professional and with plenty of travelling | :05:26. | :05:33. | |
supporters. Jersey is new to the league but they dominated the first | :05:33. | :05:36. | |
20 minutes of the match an were the first to put points on the | :05:36. | :05:42. | |
scoreboard with this penalty from Ross Broadfoot. The Pirates though | :05:42. | :05:46. | |
soon equalised. As the minutes passed, tension built, resulting in | :05:46. | :05:50. | |
a telling off from the referee. Then just before half-time, Cornish | :05:50. | :05:59. | |
Pirate Matt Evans scored this try. In the second half, confidence was | :05:59. | :06:02. | |
still high as Jersey were only five points behind. Michael Le Bourgeois | :06:02. | :06:05. | |
soon closed the gap with his penalty kick but it was short lived. | :06:05. | :06:12. | |
A great sprint from Evans secured a second try for the Pirates. Control | :06:12. | :06:17. | |
of the human side of Jersey's hands. With 10 minutes in the sin bin for | :06:17. | :06:21. | |
Stephen Gordon, Jersey were dying to 14. The Pirates took advantage | :06:21. | :06:29. | |
and Evans scored a hat-trick, finishing the match 20 to 6. | :06:29. | :06:33. | |
lost the ball a lot and when you turn the ball over, you cannot do | :06:33. | :06:40. | |
it at this level. You end up giving points away and as a quality side, | :06:40. | :06:45. | |
we gifted to them and of a lot. They just have to live off our | :06:45. | :06:50. | |
mistakes but we will learn. I think Jersey are an impressive outfit. | :06:50. | :06:53. | |
They have definitely have recruited well and I don't think they will | :06:53. | :07:03. | |
:07:03. | :07:04. | ||
have any problems this season in the lead. We really have impressed. | :07:04. | :07:14. | |
:07:14. | :07:21. | ||
It seems this season could be a challenging one. | :07:21. | :07:24. | |
The usually quiet parish of Trinity became a hive of activity this | :07:24. | :07:26. | |
weekend as Jersey Live rocked the island. Thousands turned out for | :07:26. | :07:30. | |
the festival which is now in its ninth year. We sent Amy Harris | :07:30. | :07:38. | |
along to join in the fun. Thousands of music fans, dozens of | :07:38. | :07:48. | |
:07:48. | :07:57. | ||
popstars, one big party. Jersey 2012! The music - that is what we | :07:57. | :08:03. | |
are here for. Just having a good time. Girls, you look amazing! Are | :08:03. | :08:10. | |
you having fun, despite the weather? Yes, of course we are. | :08:10. | :08:16. | |
the Channel Islands get together so it is good. It is great to see some | :08:16. | :08:26. | |
:08:26. | :08:28. | ||
of the big acts. Jersey Live is now in its ninth year and it seems the | :08:28. | :08:31. | |
appetite for the festival is certainly not diminishing. In fact, | :08:31. | :08:39. | |
organisers believe it is growing. And little wonder, with acts for | :08:39. | :08:41. | |
all ages, ranging from rockers The Stranglers to countryfolk newcomer | :08:41. | :08:51. | |
:08:51. | :08:54. | ||
Jake Bugg. I have come backstage where I have come across Jake, the | :08:54. | :08:59. | |
UK's up and coming artist. How was it out there? Brilliant, so nice to | :08:59. | :09:04. | |
be playing in Jersey again and the crowd seemed to love it. But many | :09:04. | :09:09. | |
were here to see this man, former Oasis frontman Noel Gallagher. He | :09:09. | :09:12. | |
closed one of the festival's biggest lineups to date. That also | :09:12. | :09:20. | |
included last year's Guernsey Festival headliners Primal Scream. | :09:20. | :09:25. | |
It has been cool. I have never been to these places before apart from | :09:25. | :09:31. | |
these events so it has been a great experience. Jersey Live is one of | :09:31. | :09:34. | |
the highlights of the island's summer calendar, but as the sun | :09:34. | :09:36. | |
sets on this year's festival, organisers are already promising | :09:36. | :09:46. | |
:09:46. | :09:49. | ||
that number 10 next year will be bigger and better than ever. | :09:49. | :09:59. | |
:09:59. | :10:02. | ||
Some fine weather to look forward to over the next few days. One | :10:02. | :10:05. | |
weather front coming in tomorrow may introduce some drizzle in the | :10:05. | :10:08. | |
wind but that will be gone by the time we get into Wednesday and then | :10:08. | :10:12. | |
high pressure takes charge all the way through. The story is a good | :10:12. | :10:22. | |
:10:22. | :10:22. | ||
one. There is the ridge of high pressure coming in from the south- | :10:22. | :10:25. | |
west. The week weather system it moves through central parts of | :10:25. | :10:29. | |
Britain tomorrow. Then it will weaken as it moves into the English | :10:29. | :10:35. | |
Channel and moves away from us into Wednesday and Thursday. Some good | :10:35. | :10:38. | |
weather to enjoy it. Maybe some patchy mist around tonight and | :10:38. | :10:44. | |
temperatures down to 13 or 14 degrees. Light winds and quite a | :10:44. | :10:47. | |
lot of cloud to start tomorrow. Misty in places but the cloud will | :10:47. | :10:57. | |
:10:57. | :10:58. | ||
break up in the afternoon to allow the sunshine through. The | :10:58. | :11:05. | |
temperatures - 17-19 degrees. More warm weather as we go into | :11:05. | :11:15. | |
:11:15. | :11:37. | ||
That is the story because the sunshine stays with us all the way | :11:37. | :11:42. | |
to Friday. Temperatures will gradually rise as well. Possibly 21 | :11:42. | :11:47. |
