Good evening. Coming up: The agonising wait, 16 months in limbo

:00:12.:00:15.

for islanders needing life changing operations.

:00:15.:00:18.

Plas y eight more young people are worried about the roof over their

:00:18.:00:28.
:00:28.:00:31.

heads. It is an eye-opener. People are not living in the family home.

:00:32.:00:36.

And the birds are threatened with extinction, making its home in the

:00:36.:00:46.
:00:46.:00:51.

Ireland is in Jersey could have to wait up to 16 months for serious

:00:51.:00:55.

operations such as hip and knee replacements. Today, half the

:00:55.:01:00.

executives were outlining their budget. It could take up to eight

:01:00.:01:05.

months to see a consultant and the same time again until an operation.

:01:05.:01:08.

National Health Service hospitals are not alone in their battle to

:01:08.:01:13.

reduce waiting times. Figures revealed a today show islanders

:01:13.:01:19.

could wait up to eight months for an orthopaedic operation. That is

:01:19.:01:23.

after a similar timescale to see a consultant. Jersey's Assistant

:01:23.:01:27.

Health Minister admitted it wasn't good enough. If I will be downbeat

:01:27.:01:33.

about it, a book take us 10 years to get to the point where we are

:01:33.:01:40.

having services are on demand. There's always a wait for a

:01:40.:01:44.

pinnacle time but we must get that down to a reasonable time. They

:01:45.:01:49.

intend to increase services in the community to release pressure on

:01:49.:01:53.

hospital beds. They want to continue to develop services within

:01:53.:01:58.

the hospital and build a new hospital either on the existing

:01:58.:02:02.

site or a new location. It is a strategy they are confident will

:02:02.:02:06.

work. We have been doing a lot of hard work in the last 18 months to

:02:06.:02:12.

understand what the different challenges are, working with our

:02:12.:02:16.

doctors and nurses to understand what we need to do and in what

:02:16.:02:22.

order to continue providing good quality services. Not everyone is

:02:22.:02:26.

convinced. I am concerned. It is something that has been on my mind

:02:26.:02:31.

for a while. This morning's hearing gave me an opportunity to explore

:02:31.:02:36.

questions around that issue. Nothing I was told today has come

:02:36.:02:43.

fitted me to believe that but anything happen in the near future.

:02:43.:02:47.

Fending any improvements incurs a cost.

:02:47.:02:52.

Today the health department admitted the private money had

:02:52.:02:58.

increased. What percentage of private operations are prioritised

:02:58.:03:02.

over public Patients and what impact will that have on hospital

:03:02.:03:08.

waiting lists? It is hoped Guernsey's electricity

:03:08.:03:13.

cable link will be restored within the next few weeks. This for

:03:13.:03:17.

dissection of cable has been fixed. Last month another problem surfaced

:03:17.:03:20.

at a sub-station. Elect Christie has been generated

here in the island while experts look at how -- look at what went on.

:03:26.:03:33.

and more young people are worried about housing. The Youth Enquiry

:03:37.:03:43.

Service which provides advice for 14 to 25 year has reported a surge

:03:43.:03:52.

in requests for help. -- Old s mac. A place where adults

:03:52.:03:56.

can share their problems. For some, the service is the only place.

:03:56.:04:01.

These people want to stay anonymous but told me without the help from

:04:01.:04:05.

the service, their lives would be different. They have helped me find

:04:05.:04:11.

a place to live. They have helped me with the a few different issues

:04:11.:04:15.

with different people. They have helped me with my confidence as

:04:15.:04:20.

well. Through certain things I have done with them, I have got a clear

:04:20.:04:27.

idea of what I want to do work choirs. She is not alone. The Youth

:04:27.:04:29.

Enquiry Service has seen an increase in the amount of young

:04:30.:04:34.

people registering with them. Since September last year, the service

:04:34.:04:40.

has had nearly 1800 visits by young people. They have referred 103 to

:04:40.:04:44.

counselling. Sometimes the issues for young people are very basic.

:04:44.:04:48.

The housing issue is a big one for us. We have a lot of young people

:04:48.:04:54.

who can't live at home or won't live at home. That has been an eye-

:04:54.:04:59.

opener for us, seeing being people their stay on sofas, that stay with

friends and ONS living in the family home. This teenager was one

:05:13.:05:14.

of those people until the surface helps her. -- service helped have.

:05:14.:05:20.

I didn't know what to do. I moved round every week. I had nowhere to

:05:20.:05:25.

go. I came in here and it has changed my life. If I wasn't here,

:05:25.:05:30.

I would be still in the same position. As more people register,

:05:30.:05:39.

space ONS -- spaces at the hostas - - hostels and shelters are reducing.

:05:39.:05:43.

There are places they can go to if they are supported financially to

:05:43.:05:49.

do that. There is a bit of a gap in that service and we need more of it

:05:49.:05:56.

for's stop with a shortage of pouncing, and a downturn in the

:05:56.:06:00.

economy, it is a challenging time for a young people.

:06:00.:06:07.

They are expecting an increase in their demand for their services.

A hundred and 50 new jobs could be created over the coming months in

reshuffle. Chris Grayling is replacing Ken Clarke as Justice

:06:36.:06:40.

Secretary. He is regarded as being politically to the right of Ken

Clarke on these issues. A man has been taken to the

:06:47.:06:52.

Princess Elizabeth hospital after falling from a rooftop to stop all

:06:52.:06:56.

three emergency services were called out. It is believed the man

:06:56.:07:04.

fell 10 feet and his condition isn't life threatening.

:07:04.:07:09.

Later, our viewers cameras catch up with the former Royal Marine on a

:07:09.:07:17.

round Britain cycle challenge. Good luck to him.

Rock stars are -- have probably seen some outrageous things but

caused the area to be quarantined. Experts say it is not a richly

native but can be found in Jersey and can have a rather nasty bite.

:07:42.:07:47.

If it would buy it a kid on the arm, it probably would get through and

:07:47.:07:53.

then you had -- and it would probably head for an hour. It is

:07:53.:07:59.

similar to a bee sting. It depends on how sensitive people are. Some

:07:59.:08:04.

people hardly react at all. Some get a nasty bump and some bread to

ness. It is not dangerous. -- red colour.

A rare bird could soon be back on our coastlines. They are currently

:08:18.:08:28.
:08:28.:08:35.

They died out around the end of the 19th century the rather Channel

:08:35.:08:44.

Islands. We don't know why. It wasn't particularly documented.

:08:44.:08:47.

Nobody recorded what happened to them and where they disappeared.

:08:47.:08:54.

The plaque -- plan is to release 30 or 40 birds. Before we can do that,

:08:54.:08:58.

we need to have a better understanding of what the birds

:08:58.:09:04.

require. We can guess. These birds are going to be released at some

:09:04.:09:14.

point soon and they are going to have radio transmitters on them.

:09:14.:09:20.

They will go where they want to go. It is a trial. Their job is to tell

:09:20.:09:23.

us what they want in life. They don't breed until they are three

:09:23.:09:30.

years old. It will be a couple of years before they start breeding.

:09:30.:09:34.

Then within five or six years, we are not bothering to feed them any

:09:34.:09:44.
:09:44.:09:48.

more. They will be a wild bird in We do have some good weather to

:09:48.:09:53.

come during the week ahead. A little bit of drizzle to get out of

:09:53.:09:58.

the way tonight. There has been a week weather front bringing its way

:09:58.:10:02.

down. And over cast start to the day tomorrow. It continues to make

:10:02.:10:07.

its way southwards. Improving throughout the day. Once that

:10:07.:10:14.

clears the way, we have high pressure for the rest of the week.

:10:14.:10:21.

For tonight, it does look like it is going to cloud over overnight.

:10:21.:10:27.

There could be a few spots of light rain. With the cloud, a fairly mild

:10:27.:10:34.

night. Temperatures around 14 Celsius. It is an over cast start

:10:34.:10:40.

to the day. Throughout the morning, it does improve. By the time we get

:10:40.:10:45.

to the end of the day, there is plenty of sunshine around. A bit of

:10:45.:10:50.

a breeze to start with. It should feel pleasant enough with highs of

:10:50.:11:00.
:11:00.:11:27.

A cloudy start to tomorrow but sunshine by the end of the day.
