:00:00. > :00:11.Hello, welcome. The top stories where you are.
:00:12. > :00:15.Hello, welcome. The top stories police call for late night takeaway
:00:16. > :00:19.is to close early, labelling them a nuisance and a threat to public
:00:20. > :00:24.safety. Financially, it will cause major
:00:25. > :00:28.problems, because if we do not need the stuff, we have to make
:00:29. > :00:32.redundancies. Guernsey's government approved the
:00:33. > :00:39.budget for next year, but you are being warned finances will be tight.
:00:40. > :00:43.And... Taking the scare out of fright night, the campaign to stop
:00:44. > :00:49.unwelcome trick or treat is, but has it pleased everyone?
:00:50. > :00:58.Why is it mean? They are saying go away.
:00:59. > :01:05.Takeaway owners in Jersey say they could be put out of business by the
:01:06. > :01:10.police. Officers want to force three takeaways in town to close an hour
:01:11. > :01:14.earlier, at 1am, claiming that late`night queues are becoming a
:01:15. > :01:20.nuisance and a safety threat. Queueing up for food after a hard
:01:21. > :01:25.day's night, town centre takeaway is make most of their money when the
:01:26. > :01:29.clubs kick out at 2am. They are popular with drinkers but police say
:01:30. > :01:34.that popularity is putting people at risk. Friday and Saturday night is
:01:35. > :01:39.when these restaurants make most of their money, selling food to
:01:40. > :01:44.intoxicated revellers. At 2am, enormous queues form, they start on
:01:45. > :01:48.the pavement, they end up on the street. The police say it is
:01:49. > :01:54.dangerous for all, and taxi drivers are concerned about the area. They
:01:55. > :02:00.come at the same time, so they go to the takeaways and stand outside in
:02:01. > :02:04.the middle`of`the`road, and we had an incident this weekend, somebody
:02:05. > :02:11.got knocked over. People have kicked cars, drivers have had their mirrors
:02:12. > :02:16.smashed, people are getting close to the cars, and because they have got
:02:17. > :02:22.a drink inside them, they can react that way. The police suggest they
:02:23. > :02:26.should change the license of the takeaways and forced them to close
:02:27. > :02:31.at 1am, but the owners say that will not make a difference. You just are
:02:32. > :02:38.going to move the problem from 2:30am to 1am. For us, it will cause
:02:39. > :02:44.major problems. If we do not need the staff, we have to make
:02:45. > :02:46.redundancies. I will have four redundancies, and every other
:02:47. > :02:51.takeaway will do the same, because we cannot afford it. They want to
:02:52. > :02:56.see changes to roads and pavements, not opening times, and cabbies told
:02:57. > :03:02.me, if you want to clean up the streets, you need to change the
:03:03. > :03:05.closing time of the nightclubs. The pressure will be on Guernsey
:03:06. > :03:09.States to control spending followed the budget being approved. Money
:03:10. > :03:17.will be tight, as the government tries to bring the finances back
:03:18. > :03:24.into the black. Remind us what the budget means to the average
:03:25. > :03:29.islander. There was one word that cropped up today, boring. The budget
:03:30. > :03:39.is not that radical, there are the normal increases, a drop in document
:03:40. > :03:43.duty could help boost the housing market for first`time buyers, but
:03:44. > :03:47.there is nothing to upsetting. What is more upsetting for the state is
:03:48. > :03:52.the reality of the budget they will have to stick to. Departments will
:03:53. > :03:55.have less to spend and there is still ?14 million of savings that
:03:56. > :04:02.have to be found somewhere. Even with the restraint, there will
:04:03. > :04:09.be a deficit, and we are paying for that out of our savings. That cannot
:04:10. > :04:13.continue. We have to continue to bear down on the deficit and get
:04:14. > :04:16.back into surplus to replenish the reserve that we have used to fund
:04:17. > :04:22.the deficit. Does that mean more will be cut
:04:23. > :04:27.Something we'll have to give, and it will mean to positions, but one
:04:28. > :04:32.thing that was agreed, incentives to encourage departments to keep at it.
:04:33. > :04:34.If they exceed their targets, there is a guaranteed to get some money
:04:35. > :04:38.back, though not everybody was convinced.
:04:39. > :04:44.The department might be able to make the extra money and then keep it to
:04:45. > :04:48.spend on what it wishes. At a time when we are looking at the
:04:49. > :04:51.possibility of closing schools or the bus service, which is
:04:52. > :04:56.struggling, partly due to the amount that was taken out, we should make
:04:57. > :05:00.sure that the right department have the money.
:05:01. > :05:04.The states have one of the tough decisions ahead this week, as debate
:05:05. > :05:11.on the school closures could start tomorrow.
:05:12. > :05:15.Before the budget debate began, a petition was presented to the
:05:16. > :05:20.states, calling for two schools to be saved from closure. Almost 4 00
:05:21. > :05:24.people have signed the document asking politicians to reject
:05:25. > :05:34.proposals to shut the schools. The plans will be discussed tomorrow.
:05:35. > :05:43.We had 4474 signatures, which equates to 21% of the people who
:05:44. > :05:46.voted in the 2012 election. Jersey's former Lieutenant Governor
:05:47. > :05:52.has died from cancer at the age of 73. Michael Wilkes served as the
:05:53. > :05:59.Queen's representative between 995 and 2000. He died on Sunday at his
:06:00. > :06:04.home in the UK. He leaves a wife and two sons. He was a passionate
:06:05. > :06:07.supporter of the rugby club in Jersey, friends said he would be
:06:08. > :06:12.missed. He was very interested in people, he
:06:13. > :06:16.was a great soldier and leader. If you are interested in people, you
:06:17. > :06:20.are interested in soldiers. This is what he was interested in. He would
:06:21. > :06:29.like to meet everybody, ask them what they did, never saying what he
:06:30. > :06:33.did. Two men in Guernsey have been jailed
:06:34. > :06:39.for importing half a kilo of mephedrone. Terry Brian Marsh and
:06:40. > :06:42.Martin George Dodd was sentenced for five years and nine months in

:06:56. > :07:01.bought their largest aeroplane yet. It is the airline's third new
:07:02. > :07:04.airline this year and will be used on its Southampton service from
:07:05. > :07:10.December, increasing its capacity of 250%.
:07:11. > :07:15.It is a case of us continuing to invest in our local base, we are a
:07:16. > :07:18.local business, it is the next step for us, moving away from the
:07:19. > :07:24.Jetstream aircraft, and the Southampton market is key. It is a
:07:25. > :07:32.key inbound route for tourism through the summer months. And the
:07:33. > :07:35.other recent is to access London, through the train services to

:07:56. > :07:59.In two days, it is Halloween, and a campaign is running in Jersey to
:08:00. > :08:03.stop unwelcome trick or treat is. The police are giving out posters
:08:04. > :08:07.for you to put outside your home to make it clear whether you mind being
:08:08. > :08:12.disturbed. The idea is to stop former Bull people getting
:08:13. > :08:18.unnecessary scarce, but is it just taking the fun out of fright night?
:08:19. > :08:28.Getting ready to scare the neighbours, on Thursday night, the
:08:29. > :08:34.masks and costumes go on, and the trick or treat practitioners come
:08:35. > :08:38.out. It is fun and games for some, but it feels others with dread, and
:08:39. > :08:41.that is why the police have come up with posters for them to stick in
:08:42. > :08:47.doors and windows to make it clear whether they are welcome or not I
:08:48. > :08:54.think that one is quite good, hello, but I am not sure that the sorry one
:08:55. > :09:00.is a good idea. I think it is an excellent idea. Especially where the
:09:01. > :09:05.elderly are concerned. To them, Halloween is still a relatively new
:09:06. > :09:14.concept, and they do get scared It is brilliant, last time, we are not
:09:15. > :09:21.prepared, and I was scared, and my son was young, so we do not want to
:09:22. > :09:27.do that. It is a bit mean. Why? They are saying, go away. For the police,
:09:28. > :09:32.it is not about spoiling fun, it is about protecting people. People need
:09:33. > :09:37.to respect others, and if people do not want it, please stay away, we
:09:38. > :09:40.can only try to come up with solutions in keeping people safe and
:09:41. > :09:47.reducing the fear of anti`social behaviour. These posters could mean
:09:48. > :10:04.no more tricks, but hopefully, they will still be plenty of treat.
:10:05. > :10:11.After the blustery winds of last night, it is a bit quieter. Not a
:10:12. > :10:18.bad day, a lighter wind, a cold start, and sunshine. Patchy cloud
:10:19. > :10:22.and add extra frame setting in. We can see the rain band, the stripes
:10:23. > :10:28.of cloud approaching from the West. It slows down, because there is a
:10:29. > :10:33.ridge of high pressure, which will be a us overnight tonight. It moves
:10:34. > :10:38.out of the way. By the time we get to the end of the day tomorrow,
:10:39. > :10:43.patchy rain and freshening wind As we move in to Thursday, we have a
:10:44. > :10:48.slow`moving band of cloud and rain, which will be close by. Thursday
:10:49. > :10:53.looks like it could be damp, with outbreaks of rain. There are a key
:10:54. > :11:02.Chavez dotted around overnight tonight, and the wind continues to
:11:03. > :11:06.dog `` drop. First thing tomorrow, they could be a fair amount of cloud
:11:07. > :11:11.around, but it will readily break up. By the end of the afternoon
:11:12. > :11:41.patchy rain and thicker cloud. I mentioned Thursday being cloudy,
:11:42. > :11:46.we will keep the cloud for much of the day. It will be rather damp
:11:47. > :11:52.with outbreaks of rain. More showery on Friday, with similar conditions
:11:53. > :11:58.on Saturday. Into the weekend, the wind could pick up again. Saturday
:11:59. > :12:04.and Sunday could be blustery, but at least they will be milder.
:12:05. > :12:08.A few Halloween gremlins at the top of the forecast, apologies.
:12:09. > :12:19.See you later. Chancellor's Autumn Statement in
:12:20. > :12:24.September. Were getting active in a moment. We'll be getting on our
:12:25. > :12:28.bikes as Dartmoor's new network of cycle path gets ready for business.
:12:29. > :12:40.And we'll be wearing out our shoe leather we discover the hidden side
:12:41. > :12:45.of Trelissick Gardens. 16 swans have died a nature reserve in Weymouth.
:12:46. > :12:51.Tests have revealed the Swans did not have bird flu, but exactly what
:12:52. > :12:55.caused their death is a mystery. This 1's on the lake at Radipole
:12:56. > :13:00.Lake or a favourite with locals and voters alike, but over recent months
:13:01. > :13:03.they have fallen prey to a mysterious disease or pollution.
:13:04. > :13:07.Dead birds have been removed from the RSPB reserve but it is being
:13:08. > :13:12.confirmed they were not affected by bird flu. Here at Radipole Lake on
:13:13. > :13:16.the edge of Weymouth, swans have been dying since September and it is
:13:17. > :13:23.now known that half the flock has died, but recently there have been
:13:24. > :13:27.no further fatalities. Some were found floating in the lake, which is
:13:28. > :13:32.obviously horrible for people who found them, but some were found to
:13:33. > :13:41.be quite lethargic or looking poorly and lying on the path, so at that
:13:42. > :13:46.point, the RSPCA got involved. At the RSPCA centre in Somerset, there
:13:47. > :13:52.are still a couple of swans recovering from whatever affected
:13:53. > :13:58.their health. There have been swans dying before on the lakes, and there
:13:59. > :14:01.has been an inflammation of the untested witching cause problems for
:14:02. > :14:07.swans. That hasn't been established in this instance so it is as yet
:14:08. > :14:11.unknown, but we do see swans especially from areas where there
:14:12. > :14:15.are problems with birds. The Environment Agency has tested the
:14:16. > :14:21.water for pollutants, so far the charity says there is no clue about
:14:22. > :14:26.what has happened. What is odd is that it is 16 swans. It was
:14:27. > :14:30.pollution in the water you would expect problems for all species, but
:14:31. > :14:35.this is just swans, there we are interested to find out what has
:14:36. > :14:39.happened. It is rare for so many swans to be affected in this way,
:14:40. > :14:48.that the RSPB says many younger swans appear to have escaped the
:14:49. > :14:51.worst effects of the incident. Ever driven across Dartmoor and
:14:52. > :14:55.missed most of it as it whizzes past the window? I have. Well, now you
:14:56. > :14:59.can take in the celebrated wild upland at a more leisurely pace, as
:15:00. > :15:02.a major cycle trail crossing much the landscape finally opens. The
:15:03. > :15:05.Dartmoor Way has been years in the making, but now completely covers
:15:06. > :15:08.more than 90 miles, linking towns and villages. As well as attracting
:15:09. > :15:11.thousands of cyclists, it's hoped it'll also bring millions of pounds
:15:12. > :15:13.to the local economy. Chris Lyddon has the first of two special
:15:14. > :15:29.reports. It's arguably the most famous
:15:30. > :15:37.national park, many would say the most beautiful. The new Dartmoor Way
:15:38. > :15:41.opens up miles of stunning views. Today, we're going to explore the
:15:42. > :15:44.southern part of the moor by electric bike. The power`assisted
:15:45. > :15:48.bike takes all the strain out of this section near Venford reservoir.
:15:49. > :16:00.The cycle way joins towns and villages around the moor. Our first
:16:01. > :16:02.section takes in the high moor link. You have three different settings,
:16:03. > :16:06.high, low, medium, eight gears in all. Apart from that, you just get
:16:07. > :16:10.on and start pedalling like an ordinary bike. And pedal away we
:16:11. > :16:16.did. This is not too steep, this one. And the beauty of the moor
:16:17. > :16:20.slowly revealed itself. So this pointy one at the front is Sharp
:16:21. > :16:24.Tor, then behind is Corndon Tor, and over to the right is Mel Tor, and
:16:25. > :16:30.Bench Tor here on the other side of the Dart Valley. So a terrific vista
:16:31. > :16:34.for taking it all in. Amazing. The cycle way has been paid for by Defra
:16:35. > :16:36.and Devon County Council and overseen by the cycling charity
:16:37. > :16:46.Sustrans, working with the National Park. It is a very robust route,
:16:47. > :16:49.predominantly on roads or other good known services. It is 95 miles, I
:16:50. > :16:51.believe, in length and a great circular route of the best of
:16:52. > :17:01.Dartmoor National Park. Out on the moors on a day like this,
:17:02. > :17:05.fabulous sunshine, wonderful colours and the bikes make it so effortless.
:17:06. > :17:11.Yeah, it wasn't hard at all to pick up, just like cycling a normal bike
:17:12. > :17:15.but a lot easier! Now we're off to Okehampton. We're in the north`west
:17:16. > :17:18.section of the trail. We're going to see some of best parts of the
:17:19. > :17:33.Granite Way today. Terrific weather too. Catherine is my guide this
:17:34. > :17:36.time. We're on mountain bikes. We have families, from tiny babies
:17:37. > :17:39.right up to elderly people and all sorts of different people, people
:17:40. > :17:41.that are very bike enthusiastic or cycling enthusiastic, who bring
:17:42. > :17:49.along their families, who maybe haven't been on a bike for 20, 30
:17:50. > :17:55.years. And you can see in both directions at the viewpoint. It's
:17:56. > :18:03.beautiful. Magnificent. Just don't look down! Last stop of the day, the
:18:04. > :18:15.Meldon Viaduct. I fancy a glass of wine now. Off to France, I think.
:18:16. > :18:20.France, next stop. He'll have a job, because it's a circular trail. He
:18:21. > :18:24.was only joking, of course. He never made it to France or got his glass
:18:25. > :18:29.of wine. I should think not, he's working! There will be more from
:18:30. > :18:35.Chris tomorrow when he meets the businesses that have set up along
:18:36. > :18:39.that cycleway. Sports news now. Tennis coach Judy Murray was back in
:18:40. > :18:42.the South West once again today, this time at the Barnstaple Open.
:18:43. > :18:45.Her son may have ended Britain's 77`year wait for a men's Wimbledon
:18:46. > :18:49.title, but his mother is also extremely influential in the sport.
:18:50. > :18:52.She was keeping an eye on some of the country's top talent in her role
:18:53. > :19:02.as captain of the British Women's Federation Cup team. This tennis
:19:03. > :19:06.centre in Barnstable hopes the fourth guest ladies tennis event in
:19:07. > :19:09.the country, which is why the top British players came under the
:19:10. > :19:12.scrutiny of the federation 's captain at the start of the main
:19:13. > :19:21.draw of the Barnstable open. The British number two in the third
:19:22. > :19:27.round this player from Guernsey, were just a few of the top names
:19:28. > :19:30.playing in the courts. It is perfect for me because it is one`stop and I
:19:31. > :19:36.can watch seven or eight of them playing today, but home tournament
:19:37. > :19:41.are great because obviously we are not having to pay out on airfares
:19:42. > :19:47.and big accommodation costs and so forth, so it is a big bonus to have
:19:48. > :19:51.tournament like this. It is popular with the devil in public and a
:19:52. > :19:55.chance to see top international players as well as those from Great
:19:56. > :20:00.Britain. As the season draws to a close, what does Judy take from it
:20:01. > :20:05.were among like this? I saw a fair bit during the grass season, but not
:20:06. > :20:09.so much, so it is a perfect chance for me to spend time talking to them
:20:10. > :20:13.and approaching teams before we have to make a decision on Hugh lays on
:20:14. > :20:20.the team, which will probably be in January. Later on Spotlight, we will
:20:21. > :20:22.be back in Barnstable to hear from top British players as they
:20:23. > :20:30.hopefully make progress in the weekend finals.
:20:31. > :20:37.You member last night we told you about that Star Wars auction in
:20:38. > :20:43.Dorchester. Well, 200 Tories and memorabilia have sold for almost
:20:44. > :20:46.?7,000 at that event. `` toys. Many of the figures were still in their
:20:47. > :20:49.original packaging. The sale also included life`size figures of Yoda,
:20:50. > :20:57.and a light`sabre. The items sold to around 30 buyers around the country.
:20:58. > :21:03.?7,000, that's not bad. We won't even try to speak in your language.
:21:04. > :21:06.`` Yoda language. After yesterday's storm, calmer
:21:07. > :21:09.weather today has provided a welcome opportunity for many people to get
:21:10. > :21:13.out on a nice autumn walk. And some have been taking advantage of a
:21:14. > :21:16.scheme to explore hidden parts of some of The National Trust's most
:21:17. > :21:20.famous places. Chloe Axford has been to join a group taking part in a
:21:21. > :21:28.walk at the Trelissick estate in Cornwall. The Trelissick estate
:21:29. > :21:34.normally gets about 150,000 visitors a year, but this afternoon I am
:21:35. > :21:38.joining a group of walkers who are being allowed access to a part of
:21:39. > :21:45.the estate that is normally out of bounds. I have a difficult time
:21:46. > :21:50.finding worms when it is dry. This book, led by the head ranger, is
:21:51. > :21:55.part of the great British walks, a nationwide scheme to get us all out
:21:56. > :21:59.in the fresh air. Families, people are not getting in touch with nature
:22:00. > :22:04.as much as we should, they are sitting in front of TVs, children
:22:05. > :22:09.playing on computers, so it is a chance to encourage the nation to
:22:10. > :22:12.get out and see what is on their doorstep in touch nature, breathing
:22:13. > :22:19.that fresh air and try to get them active. Today's ward includes the
:22:20. > :22:24.Inco pats were dung beetles and discovering client field mushrooms.
:22:25. > :22:27.On the walk this afternoon, I lured areas like this are normally out of
:22:28. > :22:32.bounds because they provide a feeding ground were wading birds
:22:33. > :22:37.from the nearby River, a haven for bugs and insects and a home for
:22:38. > :22:43.animals like badgers. There are lots of maggots. It has started to break
:22:44. > :22:48.up. The book has been an education for other walkers. We are rushing
:22:49. > :22:56.around and through the woodland and we don't often get a chance to slow
:22:57. > :23:02.down and see what there is, . I wanted to come and see what we are
:23:03. > :23:12.missing. It is exciting because it is a secret place. And what have you
:23:13. > :23:20.found here? Lots of mushrooms and cope to that beetles live in. There
:23:21. > :23:24.are great British walks taking place at National trust properties across
:23:25. > :23:30.the country. Now we're off for a nice cup of tea. It looks stunning
:23:31. > :23:40.there today. Big change in the weather. Yes, much quieter. It was
:23:41. > :23:48.fantastic. I thought you don't. No, I am still is here good evening. If
:23:49. > :23:54.anything, tonight will be quite chilly and relatively calm after the
:23:55. > :23:57.last few nights. We have a few missed patches first thing in the
:23:58. > :24:01.morning and it starts cold, probably the coldest we have seen so far this
:24:02. > :24:06.autumn, right at first then more wind and rain arriving, the strength
:24:07. > :24:10.of wind nothing to what we saw through the weekend and yesterday.
:24:11. > :24:15.Let's look at the cloud because this line is the next band of cloud and
:24:16. > :24:19.rain coming our way, not quite getting into us and it will be slow
:24:20. > :24:24.to arrive during tomorrow but once it sets and we will see wet weather.
:24:25. > :24:28.The wind is picking up but certainly tonight with a ridge of high
:24:29. > :24:32.pressure it is quiet. Any showers we have will be isolated in the line of
:24:33. > :24:37.cloud and rain will arrive in the latter part of tomorrow morning and
:24:38. > :24:41.through the afternoon and evening. There are some isobars squeezed by
:24:42. > :24:46.head of that so expect winds to increase through the day, then by
:24:47. > :24:50.Thursday we still have low pressure, keeping an eye on this new area of
:24:51. > :24:55.low pressure moving quite fast and bringing wet weather on Friday, and
:24:56. > :25:01.also some windy conditions. For most of today we had sunshine, but it is
:25:02. > :25:06.now turning cold and with clear skies overnight, a few places,
:25:07. > :25:10.especially inland, could get as low as three or four degrees. It is just
:25:11. > :25:15.about cold enough for a touch of frost. Further west and along the
:25:16. > :25:18.north coast, there might still be showers overnight but that will fade
:25:19. > :25:26.away overnight, and most of us will fade up to `` wake up to eight fine
:25:27. > :25:29.but cold start. The winds become south`westerly by the end of the
:25:30. > :25:35.night and overnight temperatures on the coast no lower than seven or
:25:36. > :25:40.eight degrees, but inland, a few places getting as low as four or
:25:41. > :25:44.five. Tomorrow morning, there will be sunshine, the breeze will
:25:45. > :25:48.increase. By the end of the morning some patchy light rain arrives, the
:25:49. > :25:54.rain becoming more widespread towards the love part of the
:25:55. > :25:58.afternoon and early evening. That is also wind strength picking up,
:25:59. > :26:05.becoming south`westerly and suddenly ahead of that rain band and becoming
:26:06. > :26:08.strong along the south coast, temperatures possibly getting up to
:26:09. > :26:14.14 or 15 degrees so warmer than today, despite the fact the breeze
:26:15. > :26:18.and cloud and rain rules then, also starting to see some low cloud on
:26:19. > :26:25.the moors becoming misty by early evening. The hours of Scilly, the
:26:26. > :26:30.rain arrives here first so it could cloud up, winds increasing and the
:26:31. > :26:40.rain waiting for quite a windy afternoon and a wet one. On to times
:26:41. > :26:46.of high water, on the south coast, and for our surfers, with the wind
:26:47. > :26:50.biting southerly, it makes you up on the north coast, but choppy on the
:26:51. > :27:00.south coast at three to four feet. Coastal waters forecast, the winds
:27:01. > :27:04.are backing so south`westerly visibility reduced to moderate in
:27:05. > :27:08.that rain. We will have a mix of sunny spells and showers on
:27:09. > :27:15.Thursday, winds also becoming many south`westerly, Friday that new area
:27:16. > :27:19.of low pressure makes it a wet day, also winds picking up later in the
:27:20. > :27:23.day, and for the weekend a lot of uncertainty, it will be quite
:27:24. > :27:27.unsettled with plenty of showers, possibly strong winds again,
:27:28. > :27:31.possibly gale force on both days on Saturday and Sunday. We will have
:27:32. > :27:40.further updates tomorrow. Good evening. I'm back at 10pm tonight.
:27:41. > :27:43.Join me then if you can. Goodbye.
