:01:50. > :01:52.years, we have seen locally produced bread sales drop by 50%. Unlike
:01:52. > :02:02.Jersey and Guernsey Milk, which have a monopoly, locally-produced bread
:02:02. > :02:05.is competing against big named UK brands which are cheaper. While
:02:05. > :02:11.shoppers may have been voting with their wallets - but many say they'll
:02:11. > :02:19.miss having a local choice. I think it is a very retrograde step and a
:02:19. > :02:21.loss to the island. Very bad news. Quite surprised. But there is a big
:02:21. > :02:24.market out there and everybody has two sharpening their pencils in a
:02:24. > :02:27.recession. It means independent artisan companies will be making the
:02:27. > :02:31.only locally-produced bread. Several have told the BBC that it's a sad
:02:31. > :02:34.day, and the end of an era for the Channel Islands' bakery industry.

:03:06. > :03:10.the president of the island's Velo Club. While the east and north coast
:03:10. > :03:13.cycle routes are good, some would like to see a south coast route. It
:03:13. > :03:16.follows the news this week that millions of pounds is being injected
:03:16. > :03:20.into cities in England to promote cycling. Mike Wilkins reports. Four
:03:20. > :03:23.months ago, a cyclist lost his life when he collided with a lorry. It
:03:23. > :03:27.shocked many and brought into harsh focus the brutal reality of the
:03:27. > :03:30.risks of cycling in Guernsey. This man is President of Guernsey's Velo
:03:30. > :03:33.Club. He wants more cycle lanes in the island. I actually assume that
:03:33. > :03:36.every person is going to knock me off my bike. If I cycle with out
:03:36. > :03:40.attitude I am completely unaware of what is happening around me, I stand
:03:40. > :03:43.a good chance of surviving. The island is very populated, that would
:03:43. > :03:47.be difficult to replicate this anywhere else. But we should look at
:03:47. > :03:53.what we can do to encourage areas from the south and south-west, to
:03:53. > :03:56.try to find ways of getting cyclists here without having to mix too much
:03:56. > :03:59.with traffic. When some roads are this narrow the options are limited,
:03:59. > :04:01.but are cycle lanes something the Government is willing to invest in?
:04:01. > :04:05.Well, the BBC contacted the Environment Department, who were
:04:05. > :04:08.unable to provide a comment. Efforts have been made to encourage cycling
:04:08. > :04:18.commuters such as these covered parking areas, but there are still
:04:18. > :04:20.
:04:20. > :04:27.plenty uncovered. I think that is really not acceptable. People spend
:04:27. > :04:30.a lot of money on bicycles and they do not want them left chained. More
:04:30. > :04:32.covered cycle park bays would be useful. Most governments accept that
:04:32. > :04:35.cycling's beneficial for communities. It's now up to
:04:35. > :04:41.Guernsey's to decide if it can afford to encourage more people to
:04:41. > :04:44.get on their bike. A consultant has been taken on to
:04:44. > :04:47.run Guernsey's Accident and Emergency department. It was a key
:04:47. > :04:51.recommendation in a report looking at how to improve standards there,
:04:51. > :04:54.which at the time caused concern about its level of safety. The
:04:54. > :05:01.Health Department will now start the process of recruiting someone for
:05:01. > :05:10.the new role. The patients get a good service.
:05:10. > :05:16.There are shorter waiting times in the A&E departments. This is really
:05:16. > :05:20.about leadership and development of the service and taking it forward.
:05:20. > :05:23.More phone masts are being put up in Jersey as the demand for mobile
:05:23. > :05:26.internet increases. The idea is to make it quicker when using broadband
:05:26. > :05:29.on the go. But some want reassurances that it'll cover the
:05:29. > :05:33.whole island and not cost too much. Pam Caulfield reports. Calling,
:05:33. > :05:36.texting and emailing - things we can all now do away from our desks. And
:05:36. > :05:40.as mobile phones become more advanced, soon we should be able to
:05:41. > :05:50.get even more done on the move. But only if network operators can keep

:06:03. > :06:08.in areas like the town, we have supplemented the masts with ones

:06:27. > :06:27.
:06:27. > :06:32.can access it across the island, at a reasonable price. I think either
:06:32. > :06:36.the public or the regulator needs to be sure that they are following
:06:36. > :06:41.through on that investment and producing island-wide coverage as
:06:41. > :06:45.soon as possible as a good price. Just putting the first station job
:06:45. > :06:49.is good but there is a long way to go. I hope the operator is committed
:06:49. > :06:52.to delivering high-quality service. Sure say they check coverage
:06:52. > :06:57.regularly, and their tariffs are clear, so customers shouldn't face
:06:57. > :07:01.any surprises when they open their bills.

:08:05. > :08:08.helping to run this cafe in town. -- Jamie is just one of number of young
:08:08. > :08:14.people. Offering service with a smile, and some of the food they've
:08:14. > :08:18.learnt to make. It is everything, really. We love that advertising,
:08:18. > :08:21.putting flyers together etc. Putting the menus together, the costings. As
:08:21. > :08:25.well as making the copies and preparing food. They'll be here and
:08:25. > :08:31.open for business for the rest of the week. And hopefully after that
:08:31. > :08:35.it'll open up a lot more opportunities for them.
:08:35. > :08:38.Could look to them. There's a new arrival at Durrell. Bahia is a
:08:38. > :08:41.two-year-old female Andean bear. Conservation Trust staff have
:08:41. > :08:45.transported her all the way from Berlin Zoo to Jersey, in an epic
:08:45. > :08:48.17-hour journey. Here she is getting used to her new surroundings. Bahia
:08:48. > :08:57.is, for now, the only Andean bear at Durrell, after Barbara and Wolfgang
:08:58. > :09:03.died earlier this year. But she'll have a male bear for company soon.
:09:03. > :09:08.We will get her settled first of all and get her through quarantine. We
:09:08. > :09:14.have a male bears lined up already. We're basically processing the
:09:14. > :09:19.paperwork and awaiting a date to import him. We would like cups. It
:09:19. > :09:22.is important that the captive programme is continued. At the
:09:22. > :09:25.moment the captive population is quite an older population. So
:09:25. > :09:30.getting new Bears is quite important.
:09:30. > :09:33.important. Now the weather. Good evening. We
:09:34. > :09:39.have more cloud tomorrow. Thick enough to give us like rain or
:09:39. > :09:44.drizzle. After a bright start, it clouds over and we will see some
:09:44. > :09:49.drizzle or light rain. Too little weather systems coming our way. We
:09:49. > :09:54.have this area of high pressure. It is a weaker affair. These weather
:09:54. > :10:00.fronts will trickle across us. Once they move out of the way, we open
:10:00. > :10:05.the door to mild, moist air from the south-west. A fair amount of cloud.
:10:05. > :10:09.Some breaks in the cloud, particularly through Thursday. Some
:10:09. > :10:13.clear skies to start with overnight. Perhaps a glimpse of those shooting
:10:13. > :10:21.stars. As we move into the early hours of the morning, it clouds
:10:21. > :10:26.over. Some brightness and some sunshine around the middle of the
:10:26. > :10:32.day. Gradually clouding over. The afternoon continues to see the
:10:32. > :10:42.cloud. By the end of the afternoon, patchy rain. 20 or 21 degrees will
:10:42. > :10:43.
:10:43. > :10:53.be the top temperature. The coastal waters forecast: times of high
:10:53. > :11:05.
:11:05. > :11:09.clean enough in the morning before the sea becomes quite choppy.
:11:09. > :11:12.On Thursday, after a grey and misty start, it should brighten up with
:11:12. > :11:17.sunny spells. It will feel quite warm. 24 degrees is the top
:11:18. > :11:22.temperature. Then a cold front arriving on Friday will be slow to
:11:22. > :11:25.clear. A dreary morning with patchy rain. Brighter and fresher
