:00:00. > :00:11.Good evening. Coming up tonight goodbye from me,
:00:12. > :00:17.Good evening. Coming up tonight better access, employment
:00:18. > :00:22.opportunities and information. New laws to help people with
:00:23. > :00:24.disabilities. It will change attitudes and make people have to
:00:25. > :00:30.think about employing disabled people. Inflation is at a record low
:00:31. > :00:35.in Jersey but are islanders feeling the benefit? And find out where
:00:36. > :00:46.these came from and what is happening to them this weekend.
:00:47. > :00:52.Today, families learned how much more expensive it is to live in the
:00:53. > :00:55.Channel Islands this year than last year. Guernsey and Jersey have
:00:56. > :01:00.published their annual inflation figures. Over the last 12 months,
:01:01. > :01:06.the average price of a weekly shop has risen by 1.4% in jersey and by
:01:07. > :01:11.2% in Guernsey. That compares to an increase of 3.2% in the UK.
:01:12. > :01:16.Jersey's inflation figure is the lowest since records began. We're
:01:17. > :01:21.been looking at this means. `` we have been looking. Jersey s
:01:22. > :01:26.politicians discovering how much more expensive it is to live in the
:01:27. > :01:36.islands. The answer, prices are up by 1.4% on average. The price rise
:01:37. > :01:39.Macy `` may sound like bad news but if you exclude mortgage interest
:01:40. > :01:43.payments, the cost of living in jersey has risen by the lowest
:01:44. > :01:48.amount for decades. There is much talk in the UK but the cost of
:01:49. > :01:51.living, because earnings are running at lower than inflation. In jersey,
:01:52. > :02:00.that is the opposite. Earnings are rising higher than inflation so the
:02:01. > :02:08.pound in the working man's pocket, their income is being protected and
:02:09. > :02:12.is growing. So average ways as `` wages are rising faster than average
:02:13. > :02:16.prices. But there is no such thing as an average person. These figures
:02:17. > :02:20.are based on average outgoings. We have a basket of goods, the average
:02:21. > :02:27.spend for a household. Not everyone will have exactly that. Some people
:02:28. > :02:31.will notice the increase. If you smoke, for example, cigarettes have
:02:32. > :02:36.gone up by 9% and you will feel that. But if you do not, you will
:02:37. > :02:39.not see that increase. Inflation in both islands has been running
:02:40. > :02:43.significantly lower than the UK for over a year. But islanders will
:02:44. > :02:51.still find the cost of living here more expensive than the UK.
:02:52. > :02:57.A 15`year`old has appeared in the juvenile court in Jersey charged
:02:58. > :03:00.with robbery. The teenager cannot be named for legal reasons and has been
:03:01. > :03:02.run and has been a mandolin custody. Four others were arrested in
:03:03. > :03:06.connection with the robbery at Longstore Handy Stores. The Bells of
:03:07. > :03:13.Saint and church were blessed last night. The original half peal have
:03:14. > :03:18.been refurbished. All 12 will be installed in the next few weeks and
:03:19. > :03:23.they will be the only full peal in the Channel Islands. Alternate will
:03:24. > :03:27.have the only ring of 12, one of around 120 towers. All of the
:03:28. > :03:32.ringers here are looking forward to getting back up the tower and
:03:33. > :03:38.starting to learn new methods of ringing. Everyone is really excited.
:03:39. > :03:42.New laws to protect disabled people in Guernsey from the scrum and it
:03:43. > :03:46.could be in place by 2016. Around 14,000 people on the island have
:03:47. > :03:51.some form of disability and is today a new strategy aimed at improving
:03:52. > :03:53.their lives was released. If the states agree, anti`discrimination
:03:54. > :03:59.laws will be drafted. Employment opportunities will be examined, and
:04:00. > :04:04.more information will be made available for disabled islanders,
:04:05. > :04:10.their carers and employers. And the island will sign up to the UN
:04:11. > :04:16.Convention on Rights for Disabled People. Earlier, I spoke to Jonathan
:04:17. > :04:22.Le Tocq about what this change will mean. It is important to say that
:04:23. > :04:28.the strategy is about changing attitudes. It is not a sing lead
:04:29. > :04:33.stay in itself. It is not an end in itself. It is the beginning of
:04:34. > :04:43.something. And we believe that we can and are able to change attitudes
:04:44. > :04:47.within Guernsey. Attitudes that will enable disabled islanders to have
:04:48. > :05:03.greater opportunities than they currently do. That seems like a
:05:04. > :05:05.light touch. We want to make it clear that this is something that
:05:06. > :05:13.should not be happening here. In many cases, it is not. This enables
:05:14. > :05:19.the community to make sure we are doing what is right and proper for
:05:20. > :05:34.this day and age. Would be lots of requirements on small businesses? It
:05:35. > :05:38.is a reasonable adjustment proportional to Guernsey. We believe
:05:39. > :05:42.that it is achievable. Sounds and Cider Festival speaking about
:05:43. > :05:49.jersey's disability strategy. We will be talking to him later. Later
:05:50. > :05:53.tonight, after saving countless lives in Afghanistan, we need the
:05:54. > :05:57.sniffer dog enjoying a well earned retirement.
:05:58. > :06:00.It is an ancient tradition that used to be the heart of jersey's economy
:06:01. > :06:05.and this weekend the history of cider making is being celebrated.
:06:06. > :06:11.Hundreds are expected at the Sounds and Cider Festival at the Hamptonne
:06:12. > :06:16.Country Life Museum and it has been a bumper year for apples, as we
:06:17. > :06:18.found out. Here we have 190 bags of apples.
:06:19. > :06:22.Half of them were picked from the orchards here. The other half have
:06:23. > :06:28.been donated from gardens across the island. For we venture into the
:06:29. > :06:34.festival, let's have a chat to Bill, a cider producer. Why such a bumper
:06:35. > :06:37.year? This year has been exceptionally good. Normally we have
:06:38. > :06:43.a good year followed by a bumpy year. During the summer, we had a
:06:44. > :06:47.dry period followed by a wet period. What has happened is the SAP has
:06:48. > :06:57.sucked up water and produced a beautiful, delicious apple. And how
:06:58. > :07:00.does it affect the taste? It affects the amount of sugar and
:07:01. > :07:05.carbohydrates in there. It is a natural fermentation. And we crush
:07:06. > :07:09.the juice and put it into barrels and leave it for one year to mature.
:07:10. > :07:18.And here we have the finished product. It is only fair that we try
:07:19. > :07:24.it. I think so. Cheers. It is certainly very strong. Very nice.
:07:25. > :07:27.Thank you. And it is not all about drinking. There is plenty more to do
:07:28. > :07:32.here. They're just setting up the stalls at the moment. Let's find out
:07:33. > :07:38.more from Helen. Tell me, what is happening here? We have lots of
:07:39. > :07:44.stalls for people to have a look at. We have arts and craft activities
:07:45. > :07:50.and games. We have beautiful animals here for the children to have a look
:07:51. > :07:53.at as well. And like these it. We have fantastic live music as well as
:07:54. > :08:00.entertainment. In the evening, we have a special event of music, with
:08:01. > :08:04.fantastic bands until 11pm. That sounds great. Let's hope would be
:08:05. > :08:10.fun and games that the weather does not spoil the party.
:08:11. > :08:15.Time for a look at the weather. not spoil the party.
:08:16. > :08:22.Time for a Good evening. The weekend is going to be blustery
:08:23. > :08:26.for sure but apart from a few showers, we should get some dry and
:08:27. > :08:29.warm weather. But there is the risk of showers, and some of them are
:08:30. > :08:34.quite heavy. Temperatures are about 17 or 18 degrees. For the moment,
:08:35. > :08:37.there is a stripe of cloud stretching from south of Spain up
:08:38. > :08:49.through the Bayeux Biscay and across western Britain. `` Bay of this gay.
:08:50. > :08:56.`` Biscay. Once that moves in, we will see the wind freshening.
:08:57. > :09:01.Fabrics of rain. The first thing tomorrow, we will see some sharp
:09:02. > :09:04.showers. And then we are between weather systems during the
:09:05. > :09:10.afternoon. A better chance of sunny spells. Similar conditions on
:09:11. > :09:15.Monday. All the while, remaining greasy and warm for this time of
:09:16. > :09:18.year. Here comes the rain. Through the night, accompanied by strong
:09:19. > :09:23.southerly winds. The overnight temperatures, pretty mild for this
:09:24. > :09:33.time of year. For tomorrow, morning showers, brighter in the afternoon.
:09:34. > :09:34.As a result, feeling quite warm Brisk south`westerly winds on the
:09:35. > :10:05.coast. Sunday's forecast, we are expecting
:10:06. > :10:10.to see showers. Some of those could be lively. Monday is mainly dry but
:10:11. > :10:16.there is the risk of more persistent rain. And frequent showers on
:10:17. > :10:20.Tuesday. Goodbye for now. Returning to our top story, and how
:10:21. > :10:25.the new disability strategy in Guernsey will work and who will
:10:26. > :10:34.benefit. Just getting around is a daily
:10:35. > :10:37.challenge for Colin. I'll only have 41% breathing capacity, which
:10:38. > :10:41.restricts me a lot. If all wanted to go into town, and walk up the High
:10:42. > :10:48.Street, it would take me half an hour. It is frustrating. Many things
:10:49. > :10:51.are used to do and cannot do. I ll have to stop and think about what I
:10:52. > :11:00.can do as opposed to what I cannot do. But today, the trip was worth
:11:01. > :11:03.making, picking up his copy of a new strategy which should help him and
:11:04. > :11:09.thousands of others who live with a disability in Guernsey, to do more.
:11:10. > :11:11.It is a statement that people with long`term conditions that affect
:11:12. > :11:15.their day`to`day lives matter in Guernsey. It does not make sense in
:11:16. > :11:20.the modern world when Guernsey is a global player that we do not make it
:11:21. > :11:26.illegal to discriminate against disabled people. It is all about
:11:27. > :11:29.making sure within society that there are equal opportunities and
:11:30. > :11:38.the help and support people need to have more independence is there
:11:39. > :11:43.Sarah knows how much that means It is nice and quiet in the evenings
:11:44. > :11:47.and I enjoy having my own space She is already benefiting from changes
:11:48. > :11:53.made in the states, having moved into this purpose`built home. I can
:11:54. > :12:04.going to my own room and do things by myself. Like being on my own ``
:12:05. > :12:07.I like. New housing is just a small part of the plans. But the strategy
:12:08. > :12:13.should make a big difference to people's lives.
:12:14. > :12:15.Apologies for the technical problems with that report. That is all from
:12:16. > :12:33.me. Here is Spotlight. Among the troops in Iraq and
:12:34. > :12:38.Afghanistan in recent years has been a dog ` who's played a key role in
:12:39. > :12:40.the conflicts. Sunny can detect roadside bombs, protecting
:12:41. > :12:44.servicemen and women he was with from deadly attack.
:12:45. > :12:48.And now after his active service, he's finally having some rest and
:12:49. > :12:50.relaxation. He's been adopted by the Cornish soldier who developed a
:12:51. > :12:53.close bond with him while they served together at Camp Bastion.
:12:54. > :13:04.Spotlight's Julie Fisher's been to meet him.
:13:05. > :13:11.Roadside bombs have killed hundreds of British troops in Afghanistan.
:13:12. > :13:20.IED sniffer dogs have stopped even worse tragedy. From the front line,
:13:21. > :13:23.4000 miles away, to Callington, ten`year`old Sonny is one war that
:13:24. > :13:27.truly loving every second of retirement with the Army reservist
:13:28. > :13:32.who fell in love with him in the heat of the Afghan desert. They have
:13:33. > :13:36.saved countless lives, yeah. They are worth their weight in gold, they
:13:37. > :13:45.really are. They deserve all the credit. But it is no stand to Sonny
:13:46. > :13:55.has bonded with. Fantastic what he has done. It makes you proud,
:13:56. > :14:00.doesn't it? He is fantastic. Nobody knows about what he has done. His
:14:01. > :14:04.biggest job now is playing fetch. He has been out of the army for two
:14:05. > :14:13.years but still sniffs for IED is, even in a Cornish countryside. He
:14:14. > :14:20.runs around, does a loop up and down. It is his instinct to go up
:14:21. > :14:28.and down all the time. His days as a dog with a dangerous job are over.
:14:29. > :14:37.He is glad he is year, I think. He is fantastic. I don't know what I
:14:38. > :14:43.would do without him. And he knows it as well, I think.
:14:44. > :14:46.Onto tonight's sport and Dave's been to Plymouth Life Centre to join Ruta
:14:47. > :14:55.Meilutyte who's just come back from the swimming World Cup with three
:14:56. > :14:59.more gold medals. Here at the Plymouth swimming pool,
:15:00. > :15:03.it is where this swimmer is warming down after her daily morning swim.
:15:04. > :15:06.This is where she trains and she is fresh from winning another three
:15:07. > :15:10.gold medals in the World Cup this week. We will be talking to her in
:15:11. > :15:15.the moment but first, Exeter Chiefs go for another win in the European
:15:16. > :15:19.Rugby cup. This time, it's a Glasgow Warriors this weekend after another
:15:20. > :15:23.good week at Sandy Park. With Tom Johnson winning a recall for the
:15:24. > :15:29.England squad, and his back row colleagues in cracking form, they
:15:30. > :15:34.are three different characters. In rugby, there are teams within a
:15:35. > :15:39.team. The back row combination of Ben White, and Tom Johnson, has been
:15:40. > :15:43.making a name for itself in recent weeks. And the England man was quick
:15:44. > :15:47.to praise his young number eight. He is a beast, isn't it? The size of
:15:48. > :15:51.him. He grew up in Zimbabwe and they make them strong over there. He has
:15:52. > :15:54.been knocking people live a beast, isn't it? The size of him. He grew
:15:55. > :15:56.up in Zimbabwe and they make them strong over there. He has been
:15:57. > :15:59.knocking people over for fun. The modest player is not letting the
:16:00. > :16:03.attention given to his head. I've got a hard enough job to stay in the
:16:04. > :16:07.team so I will just keep my head down and take it week by week. The
:16:08. > :16:09.last member of the trio was Ben White, who has broken into the
:16:10. > :16:14.starting line`up and has developed quite a useful try scoring habit.
:16:15. > :16:22.But too many bangs on the head may have affected his memory. It doesn't
:16:23. > :16:26.do me justice! You've got to take them, haven't you? The best back
:16:27. > :16:29.rows worked together as a unit and know each other inside out but how
:16:30. > :16:36.well do these three know each other off the field? Ben White, he is
:16:37. > :16:43.folic or challenged and fortunately and tries to spend time covering up
:16:44. > :16:53.at the back. Has to be Tom Johnson. Ben White. Hang on, sorry. Ben
:16:54. > :17:01.White... He would be dancing round to his... Maybe some things there
:17:02. > :17:06.are better off not knowing. Yeovil town Hunstanton first win in
:17:07. > :17:11.the championship. After a fortnight 's break, the manager is keen to
:17:12. > :17:18.start afresh by beating Brighton in Somerset. Where will Scott Bennett
:17:19. > :17:24.play when they go to Scunthorpe? Will Bennett revert to midfield or
:17:25. > :17:27.defence? John Sheridan takes his struggling team to Hartlepool with
:17:28. > :17:33.Marvin Morgan facing an operation on a shoulder problem. At this player
:17:34. > :17:38.looks to his third goal in four games as Mansfield town come to the
:17:39. > :17:41.region. She is suitably relaxed with a total
:17:42. > :17:48.of nine gold medals in big tournaments this year. Hello. Three
:17:49. > :17:57.more gold medals at the World Cup in Russia. How did you achieve that? I
:17:58. > :18:04.have no idea. I didn't have the best preparation and I wasn't expecting
:18:05. > :18:09.to do so amazingly. This was all done in a 25 metre pool which is
:18:10. > :18:19.half the size of the one behind you. Was it easier for you? Yeah, I
:18:20. > :18:23.mean, the races are shorter. There is more underwater work and less
:18:24. > :18:28.actual swimming than in the 50 metre pool. You have to be more skilful
:18:29. > :18:33.with the tins. Would you regard this year as your best to date? Breaking
:18:34. > :18:41.the world record in 100 metres 50 metres breaststroke in Barcelona and
:18:42. > :18:49.then I went to the world juniors. I had an amazing season. It has been
:18:50. > :18:56.my best year so far. Whatever you take part in, I am sure you will do
:18:57. > :19:02.very well. Thank you. Imogen Sills tried to a a world youth title to
:19:03. > :19:08.her recently won European crown on Sunday. Six days of competition will
:19:09. > :19:14.determine whether she can do it. We wish her well.
:19:15. > :19:18.To one of the more unusual stories of the week. A family in Dorset had
:19:19. > :19:22.a bit of a surprise when they discovered what was almost a perfect
:19:23. > :19:25.image of an owl on a window at their home. It turns out that a bird
:19:26. > :19:29.crashed into the glass leaving behind an imprint of its body. As
:19:30. > :19:32.John Ayres reports it survived its ordeal although it may have had a
:19:33. > :19:37.bit of a headache. It is beautiful, if not a bit eerie.
:19:38. > :19:40.This image was first spotted by a friend of Lisa, who thought it might
:19:41. > :19:44.have been stencilled on by her children but apparently not. An owl
:19:45. > :19:51.has flown into the window, leaving its mark and it appears it has
:19:52. > :19:55.survived. I absolutely love owls. I really didn't want the owl to have
:19:56. > :19:59.been hurt. There is nobody or sign of the owl. We are hoping it got
:20:00. > :20:03.stunned and may maybe because it had its whole body against the window,
:20:04. > :20:10.rather than just its head, in a way that means it is more likely that it
:20:11. > :20:14.is OK. This isn't an uncommon phenomenon. Each year, tens of
:20:15. > :20:17.thousands of birds fly into Windows because they don't see the glass.
:20:18. > :20:24.This impression is pretty special. What happens is the birds, their
:20:25. > :20:28.feathers are covered in a kind of dust. When they hit something solid,
:20:29. > :20:31.they will leave a mark on the window. I have seen this before in
:20:32. > :20:35.one or two occasions with owls but the impression this one has left is
:20:36. > :20:39.amazing. You can see all the feather detail, all the feathering and
:20:40. > :20:43.everything. It's quite something. Lisa is now hoping the image will
:20:44. > :20:50.last as long as possible. I don't want to touch it or rabbit because I
:20:51. > :20:58.don't want it to be damaged. It is so divine. I feel like it is
:20:59. > :21:01.touching a work of art. He would never go into a museum and touch a
:21:02. > :21:05.painting. That is how I feel about this. So far, it has lasted a couple
:21:06. > :21:13.of weeks. They are hoping it might stay a little while longer.
:21:14. > :21:16.We spend quite a lot of our day trying to bring you the true essence
:21:17. > :21:21.of a region here but after meeting two women in their 80s from Dartmoor
:21:22. > :21:23.we realise we may as well give up and go home.
:21:24. > :21:26.They know their bibble from their buckerly, their churn from their
:21:27. > :21:29.clathers. But imagine when they get together with traditional dialect
:21:30. > :21:31.speakers from around the country in Exeter tomorrow. Carole Madge has
:21:32. > :21:34.been listening to our representatives in that lively
:21:35. > :21:41.conversation ` they speak proper Debn.
:21:42. > :21:45.I think that's a better start doing something for tea you know. I'll
:21:46. > :21:48.make some scones. You sit down and do some apples. This is not a
:21:49. > :21:53.novelty to these two sisters, it's just the language they were brought
:21:54. > :21:56.up with and love. We are very proud of our accident. We belong to the
:21:57. > :22:01.WRI and there are a lot of new members there. We are the only two
:22:02. > :22:06.speaking with a Devon Jackson. Then you feel conscious of it. Isn't that
:22:07. > :22:11.right? We are the only two. And we are the eldest, too! Yes, yes. Now
:22:12. > :22:14.they treat us with respect excavation mark they do. Carry some
:22:15. > :22:20.of the stories you will have told within your dialect. There is a dear
:22:21. > :22:27.old couple, I saw her in Kempton yesterday. I said, hope EU? I said,
:22:28. > :22:33.not very good, Martha what's up? I'm having a job with George. George can
:22:34. > :22:37.hear very well. I took him to the doctor and I sat him down in the
:22:38. > :22:41.surgery and I said that he is, Doctor, I've brought him in about
:22:42. > :22:48.his urine. The doctor looked at him and said, have you brought a
:22:49. > :22:57.specimen? He said, I couldn't not come without. It's this here `` hear

:23:04. > :23:05.nearly finished... Now a younger member of the family has taken up
:23:06. > :23:25.the story. HE SPEAKS is it a shame it is dying out? If
:23:26. > :23:30.they applied for a job and spoke like this, they would never get it.
:23:31. > :23:36.But it is a pity. It is sad. That is why it is nice they are trying to
:23:37. > :23:45.get people interested in it again. You see? They do look good. What did
:23:46. > :23:46.happen to the farmer who bought the lavatory rush as a last`minute
:23:47. > :24:11.present? good evening. We have got some rich
:24:12. > :24:15.whether to look forward to this weekend. Certainly, it is mild. That
:24:16. > :24:19.is perhaps the main theme. It will be breezy and we will seize on the
:24:20. > :24:24.showers but we will also see some sunny spells. It's not a write`off.
:24:25. > :24:28.We should see temperatures up to 17 or 18 degrees. The air is coming
:24:29. > :24:33.from a long wayside. In fact, this stripe of cloud stretches from
:24:34. > :24:35.Scotland, down the West coast of Spain and Portugal. That really is
:24:36. > :24:47.the source of the air at the moment. It is tempered by sea
:24:48. > :24:50.temperatures as it travels along way. It is full of warmth and
:24:51. > :24:52.moisture. It will bring rain overnight. That rain band will cross
:24:53. > :24:55.us through the night into the eastern side of England during the
:24:56. > :24:57.small hours of the morning. It is replaced by showers which we will
:24:58. > :25:00.have on Saturday and Sunday. Plenty of ice was so quite a breezy affair
:25:01. > :25:03.as well. By the time we get to Monday, we still have the same
:25:04. > :25:05.source software. It's from a long wayside. Some more persistent rain
:25:06. > :25:09.on Monday morning before it turns more showery through the afternoon.
:25:10. > :25:13.But for tonight at least, the rain is a bit more persistent and quite
:25:14. > :25:19.widespread. This was earlier today when we had some brightness across
:25:20. > :25:25.Exmoor. There were clearer skies and some glimpses of sunshine briefly.
:25:26. > :25:28.Parts of us had a reasonable day, a fine day, despite all the cloud.
:25:29. > :25:33.Further south, as we hop across the border into Devon, plenty of water
:25:34. > :25:43.after the recent rainfall but also blue sky. A bit of blue sky in now,
:25:44. > :25:47.the fad has become quite extensive and is starting to fall quite
:25:48. > :25:50.heavily in a few places. The rain band moves steadily overnight
:25:51. > :25:53.tonight and once that starts to happen, it begins to dry up from
:25:54. > :25:58.Cornwall first and then into West Devon. A bit misty over the moors.
:25:59. > :26:01.Still quite breezy with winds from the site. The overnight
:26:02. > :26:04.temperatures, unusually high. 15 degrees in a few places overnight
:26:05. > :26:09.tonight. That is above the daytime maximum temperature we should be
:26:10. > :26:12.seeing at this time of year. As for tomorrow, yes, we will season
:26:13. > :26:16.showers. In the middle of the day, they could be quite potent. Either
:26:17. > :26:21.side of that line of showers, we will season sunshine and a brisk
:26:22. > :26:29.south`westerly breeze. A top temperature of 16 or 17. For the
:26:30. > :26:30.eyes of silly, probably in a few spells of sunshine. `` the Isles of
:26:31. > :26:52.Scilly. Plymouth... Challenging surfing conditions for
:26:53. > :26:55.our servers. The reason for that is the strength of wind. It has been
:26:56. > :27:02.blowing from the South West. Occasionally, seven, showers are
:27:03. > :27:05.otherwise, mainly fair. But the forecast for Sunday, showers.
:27:06. > :27:08.Showers again on Monday after the morning rain clears out of the way.
:27:09. > :27:13.A little bit cooler on Tuesday. Not too bad because in between those
:27:14. > :27:16.showers, it should hopefully be sunny. Have a nice weekend.
:27:17. > :27:21.Traditional music is also being celebrated this weekend as part of
:27:22. > :27:24.dialect Dave so we will leave you with a wonderful sounds of the
:27:25. > :27:27.melodeon played on Dartmoor by Thomas White and Danny Watkins. Have
:27:28. > :27:34.a good weekend. I buy. `` goodbye.
