£225 million could be spent on capital projects in Guernsey over | :00:37. | :00:57. | |
the next few years. The States is being asked to give the go ahead to | :00:57. | :01:01. | |
a list of work that needs to happen — including rebuilding schools, | :01:01. | :01:03. | |
improving the buses, and buying — including rebuilding schools, | :01:03. | :01:07. | |
health equipment. But will they — including rebuilding schools, | :01:07. | :01:16. | |
And spend ten million writing off At a time when we hear the States | :01:16. | :01:25. | |
mostly talking about saving money. Now it's about getting out the | :01:25. | :01:28. | |
cheque book to spend hundreds of The States have three lists of jobs | :01:28. | :01:33. | |
they want to get on with. On the A list are the most vital projects. | :01:33. | :01:36. | |
Including new Radiology Equipment at the hospital, mending Alderney's | :01:36. | :01:41. | |
CCTV network. And buying a new boat to police the seas. You could throw | :01:41. | :01:53. | |
good money after bad, or you get to the stage where we need a new boat. | :01:53. | :02:03. | |
The B list is work that will happen — but isn't quite as an urgent. | :02:03. | :02:06. | |
The B list is work that will happen there's things like getting new | :02:06. | :02:09. | |

disappointed about the vehicle testing facility. We have got to | :02:42. | :02:55. | |
comply with UK regulations. I would So we've got the A, B, and C lists | :02:55. | :03:05. | |
for the States to debate. Perhaps the bigger problem they'll need | :03:05. | :03:08. | |
for the States to debate. Perhaps work out though is how to pay for it | :03:08. | :03:13. | |
Well let's talk about the financial side of all of this. A short time | :03:13. | :03:16. | |
ago I spoke to Guernsey's Treasury Minister and started by asking him | :03:16. | :03:20. | |
whether at a time when money is embarking on such a big investment | :03:20. | :03:30. | |
programme. The island needs to continue investing in its capital | :03:30. | :03:38. | |
programme and its infrastructure. All the more reason that we need to | :03:38. | :03:42. | |
undertake a controlled process and that we do properly prioritise. It | :03:42. | :03:52. | |
is going to cost 225 million in total, but you are 70 million short | :03:52. | :03:55. | |
stop —— short. At this stage we total, but you are 70 million short | :03:56. | :04:06. | |
dealing with fairly broad estimates. If we proceed with everything in the | :04:06. | :04:11. | |
programme we would be round about 17 million short. Something needs to | :04:11. | :04:18. | |
happen. Over the next couple of quarters, if the States approve | :04:18. | :04:22. | |
happen. Over the next couple of report in September, we will look at | :04:22. | :04:31. | |
what the alternatives are. Whether we draw down on our other reserves. | :04:31. | :04:37. | |
It is appropriate that we look at borrowing as well. If borrowing | :04:37. | :04:43. | |
It is appropriate that we look at the option, is this worth the island | :04:43. | :04:49. | |
getting into debt for? That will be a decision for the States will stop | :04:49. | :05:08. | |
—— the States. It is appropriate that we do look at it and if the | :05:08. | :05:13. | |
funding options are not attractive then we will have two cats our cloth | :05:13. | :05:16. | |
accordingly —— we will have two then we will have two cats our cloth | :05:16. | :05:27. | |
£1.5 million pounds could be spent on providing more parking in Jersey. | :05:27. | :05:32. | |
One of St Helier's main car parks is to be extended — to make up for | :05:32. | :05:36. | |
spaces lost under the development of Caulfield reports. The closer to | :05:36. | :05:47. | |
town you are the more difficult Caulfield reports. The closer to | :05:47. | :05:52. | |
is to find a space. There will be fewer when this police station is | :05:52. | :05:56. | |
built. Politicians say they are working on a solution. The plan | :05:56. | :06:00. | |
built. Politicians say they are to extend this top deck through | :06:00. | :06:03. | |
built. Politicians say they are the end here. The police station is | :06:03. | :06:04. | |
accommodate most of the parking the end here. The police station is | :06:04. | :06:12. | |
an extra 64 spaces will stop if the end here. The police station is | :06:12. | :06:18. | |
plans are approved money will be spent extending the top floor. | :06:18. | :06:23. | |
Meanwhile other car parks are being underused. There are hundreds of | :06:23. | :06:29. | |
spaces three at this car park. Some question whether or spaces are | :06:29. | :06:35. | |
really needed. Everywhere you go you can get a space. No problems at | :06:35. | :06:46. | |
really needed. Everywhere you go you This side of town one of the car | :06:46. | :06:48. | |
parks is full up. Spaces here are important. You definitely need it. | :06:48. | :06:59. | |
But if the plans for Green Street do go ahead — it'll mean two years | :06:59. | :07:06. | |
But if the plans for Green Street do disruption. Businesses in the town | :07:06. | :07:08. | |

Guernsey on Sunday morning as bomb disposal experts deal with a World | :07:37. | :07:41. | |
War Two mine that's been found in the Fermain Bay area. The unexploded | :07:41. | :07:44. | |
device was discovered during a training exercise in Bluebell Woods. | :07:44. | :07:47. | |
Mike Wilkins has been as close as he dared and met those who remember it | :07:47. | :07:55. | |
One of the most popular walks in Guernsey has been off limits today | :07:55. | :07:59. | |
as the authorities deal with an It's believed the mine is like one | :07:59. | :08:12. | |
of these. It's thought to have been one of 16 dropped by the Royal | :08:12. | :08:15. | |

everywhere. The flak guns were This wasn't an isolated incident and | :08:38. | :08:47. | |
the Allies attacked the island bringing a U—boat in and we were | :08:47. | :08:59. | |
trying to get them stop As a result of Allied aggresion, a couple of | :09:00. | :09:06. | |
islanders were accidentally killed. How do you think people felt knowing | :09:06. | :09:09. | |
that the Allies were attacking the island? Usually the local population | :09:09. | :09:14. | |
was delighted to see them. They island? Usually the local population | :09:14. | :09:23. | |
getting their own back stop they were very selective about who they | :09:23. | :09:31. | |
drop their bombs. I look back and Many mines and bombs have been | :09:31. | :09:37. | |
discovered and disarmed in Guernsey over the years, and some feel it's | :09:37. | :09:41. | |
inevitable that more will be found And update on this one. The least | :09:41. | :09:51. | |

from six at —— people living near Bluebell Woods are asked to leave | :10:00. | :10:02. | |
their homes from six o'clock in morning on Sunday. Here is the A | :10:02. | :10:13. | |
cloudy day in store with outbreaks of rain. Some of that dream will | :10:13. | :10:16. | |
become more heavily and persistent as the day progresses. You can see | :10:16. | :10:25. | |
the area of low pressure that will be working towards as by the early | :10:25. | :10:43. | |
This evening we are looking at a largely tried one. There could be | :10:43. | :10:52. | |
some hill fog. Tomorrow may be quite a try start. Cloud will come and | :10:52. | :11:00. | |
bring rain. That train could be persistent. Strong gusts especially | :11:00. | :11:07. | |
Choppy surf not particularly good in that dream. I wet and windy day | :11:07. | :11:50. | |
tomorrow. At the start of next week we're looking at more in the way of | :11:50. | :11:55. | |
sunshine. More settled conditions as they start to see high pressure | :11:55. | :11:59. | |
building as temperatures what they should be for the time of year. | :11:59. | :12:04. | |
With all of that on your doorstep, why would you ever want to leave? | :12:04. | :17:01. | |
Onto the sport now, and today, Dave's been to have a look at what's | :17:01. | :17:04. | |
in store for the Great British Tennis Weekend. | :17:05. | :17:14. | |
We are here at the centre of Exeter at one of two venues in the | :17:14. | :17:18. | |
south—west that is staging the Great British Tennis Weekend. The LTA | :17:18. | :17:22. | |
development officer is putting the children through their paces. We | :17:22. | :17:26. | |
will be talking to her about this drive in just a few moments. | :17:27. | :17:32. | |
Firstly, football. Yeovil Town will have to sharpen up in front of goal | :17:32. | :17:35. | |
if they are to get anything from Barn Mead this weekend. They lost | :17:35. | :17:46. | |
1—0 last week. Exeter City will be playing Wimbledon at St James's | :17:46. | :17:54. | |
Park. They will face the many say in Brazil later in the week. | :17:54. | :18:04. | |
After two draws, Torquay United look to go one better against early | :18:04. | :18:11. | |
leaders Oxford United. Jonathan Fox has added the world | :18:11. | :18:16. | |
title to his Paralympic gold—medal. The 22 euros because the | :18:16. | :18:19. | |
second—fastest time ever to win gold in the 100 backstroke. He came | :18:19. | :18:24. | |
within a seventh of a second off his own world record. | :18:24. | :18:31. | |
Great Britain Riders of the future are teaching this weekend with Emma | :18:31. | :18:37. | |
King featuring in France next month. 17—year—old Emily is following in | :18:37. | :18:41. | |
the famous footsteps of her mother Mary. British Senior Open | :18:41. | :18:47. | |
International Lucy will also be present. | :18:47. | :18:52. | |
One of the biggest training academies has attracted seven riders | :18:53. | :18:55. | |
from across the region. If you look close enough, you could | :18:55. | :19:13. | |
find the next generation of top show—jumpers right there. | :19:13. | :19:18. | |
Ten—year—old light of his pony Ralph have high hopes. I enjoyed jumping. | :19:18. | :19:27. | |
I like racing against the clock. If you want to be good you must listen | :19:27. | :19:32. | |
and learn. Ian is a top trainer here. It is a little unfortunate | :19:32. | :19:42. | |
that the children do not get a coach and the basics from the word go. We | :19:42. | :19:47. | |
have a lot of up and coming young writers. We have some seven and 8 | :19:47. | :19:53. | |
euros —— eight—year—old Switch looked very talented already. I | :19:53. | :20:01. | |
would like to be even more successful than the Olympians. | :20:01. | :20:08. | |
Indeed you do. Look up to the sky and make your dreams come true. | :20:08. | :20:17. | |
There are 39 parks across the whole of the United Kingdom taking in this | :20:17. | :20:22. | |
tennis weekend. One is in Exeter and the other implement. In Exeter I am | :20:22. | :20:30. | |
joined by Georgina. This weekend, what has driven this? The Olympic | :20:30. | :20:37. | |
legacy and following on from Andy Murray winning Wimbledon. It is the | :20:37. | :20:41. | |
perfect opportunity to get people who have been inspired to get | :20:41. | :20:50. | |
involved in tennis. What has Andy Murray's famous Wimbledon when done | :20:50. | :20:53. | |
for the sport? The parts have been busier than ever. In Devon | :20:53. | :20:59. | |
especially the clubs have come to me to tell me about what a great | :20:59. | :21:02. | |
response they have had and appealed for more people to get involved. It | :21:02. | :21:11. | |
runs over to the ears —— it runs for two days in Exeter, they will have | :21:11. | :21:17. | |
your work cut out, will you not? That is correct. Despite the | :21:17. | :21:23. | |
weather, we will be here having lots of fun, I am sure. Popped onto our | :21:23. | :21:30. | |
website if you want more information. You can find out more | :21:30. | :21:40. | |
there. Let us hope the weather is kind to us over the weekend. | :21:41. | :21:49. | |
We will have the real forecast shortly. | :21:49. | :21:52. | |
A young Doctor Who fan who has his very own Dalek now has something new | :21:52. | :21:56. | |
to add to his collection. Andrew Carter's dad Will built him a | :21:56. | :21:59. | |
replica of the Doctor's archenemy two years ago. Now, after months of | :21:59. | :22:03. | |
hard work, he's finished a TARDIS, which has been raising a few | :22:03. | :22:06. | |
eyebrows in Paignton. Our South Devon reporter John Ayres has more. | :22:06. | :22:19. | |
You could be forgiven for thinking not much happens here in the streets | :22:19. | :22:23. | |
of Paignton. On this quiet roads sits the TARDIS, although the Time | :22:23. | :22:28. | |
Lord is not paying you visit. Will Carter has built first a Dalek and | :22:28. | :22:33. | |
now a TARDIS, which I my reckoning must make him he huge Doctor Who | :22:33. | :22:42. | |
fan. Not really. Not as much as my son. It is a labour of love for your | :22:42. | :22:48. | |
son? It is a labour of love for something! Has Dalek make special | :22:49. | :22:59. | |
appearances at local events. Who is the best doctor? Matt Smith.What | :22:59. | :23:12. | |
about Peter Capaldi? Are you excited about the new doctor? He is the 12 | :23:13. | :23:18. | |
Doctor, he is coming in time for Christmas. This has taking a cold | :23:18. | :23:24. | |
year to construct this. It took for people to lift it. It took a lot of | :23:24. | :23:32. | |
engineering skill to get it into this location. It flashes blue | :23:32. | :23:37. | |
inside and as a whole host of things. It does not disappear have | :23:37. | :23:49. | |
ever! What is next?He wants me to build another archenemy for him. | :23:49. | :24:14. | |
Almost as scary as the real thing! We have a taste of what for tomorrow | :24:14. | :24:18. | |
but it will improve as the beak progresses. It is a very different | :24:18. | :24:27. | |
today tomorrow with wet and windy conditions but by Sunday it will be | :24:27. | :24:31. | |
drier and bright but still staying quiet breezy. There is an area of | :24:31. | :24:36. | |
low pressure with this big lump of cloud. It will progress towards us | :24:36. | :24:43. | |
overnight and by the early hours will bring some strengthening winds. | :24:43. | :24:48. | |
You can see how quick those isobars are moving across to us and they are | :24:48. | :24:57. | |
very tightly packed. For Monday, there are signs that high pressure | :24:57. | :25:01. | |
is starting to build up once again, so potentially be looking at some | :25:01. | :25:04. | |
settled weather for the beginning of next week. The cloud that he had | :25:04. | :25:10. | |
overnight cleared away quite nicely and we had plenty in the way of | :25:10. | :25:13. | |
sunshine. Some like evening sun still to be hard for the East. For | :25:13. | :25:18. | |
the West, the cloud beginning to thicken up overnight bringing patchy | :25:18. | :25:21. | |
outbreaks of line and some Dera Zor for a time. The plans are | :25:21. | :25:26. | |
strengthening for the Isles of Scilly. —— the winds are | :25:26. | :25:37. | |
strengthening. On Saturday we could say up to 20 millimetres of rain | :25:37. | :25:43. | |
falling. Strong winds which will touch gale force in the morning. | :25:43. | :25:50. | |
Temperatures for tomorrow will be around 19 Celsius. It will feel | :25:50. | :25:56. | |
quite cruel in the wind and rain. For the Isles of Scilly, warm rain. | :25:56. | :26:29. | |
We could have gale force winds for the Isles of Scilly in the morning. | :26:29. | :26:37. | |
And that rain, the visibility is likely to become moderate or poor. | :26:37. | :26:42. | |
It will come good as the front moves eastwards. Tomorrow, guess, it will | :26:42. | :26:47. | |
be wet and windy, especially in the morning and those winds could be | :26:47. | :26:51. | |
quite strong will stop and land we could see them at 30 or 40 mph. By | :26:51. | :26:57. | |
the evening it will clear away eastwards and we will have a drier | :26:57. | :27:01. | |
net for Saturday night. For Sunday, it is drier and brighter but still a | :27:01. | :27:07. | |
few showers potentially, that it will be an improved today compared | :27:07. | :27:10. | |
to Saturday at temperatures average for this time of year, around 19 or | :27:10. | :27:16. | |
20 Celsius. It. The quick and on Sunday. It is only next week that | :27:16. | :27:21. | |
the winds will fade away and high pressure begins to build once more. | :27:21. | :27:27. | |
Much more sunshine to come and temperatures could get back to 18 or | :27:27. | :27:33. | |
19 Celsius. A taste of autumn for tomorrow but improved conditions | :27:33. | :27:39. | |
after that. Join us again at 10:30pm. Goodbye. | :27:39. | :27:46. |
