:00:11. > :01:11.Today the blueprints were shown to the public for the first time. The
:01:12. > :01:14.new hospital would be split over two sites, with a new Accident and
:01:15. > :01:17.Emergency, maternity unit and operating theatres. Our reporter Tim
:01:18. > :01:20.Robinson was in St Brelade to see how the idea went down with
:01:21. > :01:25.islanders. Learning how ?297 million of their
:01:26. > :01:28.taxes will be spent. Today the public got their first glimpse of
:01:29. > :01:38.the plan to overhaul Jersey's hospital. Today is all about selling
:01:39. > :01:43.the plans for the new hospital. Even the health bosses have turned out to
:01:44. > :01:49.personally promote the idea. But the question is are people going to bite
:01:50. > :01:55.his Mac an awful lot needs to be done. I just hope that they asked
:01:56. > :01:59.the right people the right questions. The biggest problem is
:02:00. > :02:08.for the people who work there whilst it is all going on. You need space
:02:09. > :02:11.for temporary accommodation. And it's not just the public who have
:02:12. > :02:18.questions about the proposal. States members will begin scrutinising the
:02:19. > :02:27.detail of the plan soon. We believe that the plan for single bedded ward
:02:28. > :02:31.needs to be looked at. What is important is that the public have a
:02:32. > :02:39.choice when it comes to going into hospital. So there is still some
:02:40. > :02:45.convincing to do and the health and social services department is making
:02:46. > :02:48.a big effort to do it. This needs to happen because the population in the
:02:49. > :02:51.island is getting older, and older people make a bigger demand on
:02:52. > :02:54.hospital services and medical services generally. And the hospital
:02:55. > :02:57.itself is getting older, it's getting a bit tired. It needs to be
:02:58. > :03:01.updated and revamped. So we've developed proposals to how we can do
:03:02. > :03:04.that, and we'd like to engage islanders through this series of
:03:05. > :03:07.events to tell them about what those proposals are and to get their
:03:08. > :03:10.comments. And there will be plenty of comments for the Health
:03:11. > :03:14.department to hear, with four more of these events before the States
:03:15. > :03:21.votes on the plan's funding in December.

:04:16. > :04:22.An eyesore and a nuisance for the police, who deal with hundreds of
:04:23. > :04:30.abandoned cars each year. And because of the current laws, it can
:04:31. > :04:36.be a laborious process. You can see cobwebs, it clearly has not moved
:04:37. > :04:44.for ages. We have two were the car at a cost to the taxpayer and then
:04:45. > :04:53.we have two impound it. We had to then arrange for it to be scrapped.
:04:54. > :04:57.At any one time there can be 50 vehicles here. They stay here for a
:04:58. > :05:01.few months whilst the police tried to establish that there is an owner
:05:02. > :05:05.before they can actually scrapped them. It's obvious why some aren't
:05:06. > :05:15.road`worthy anymore. But they're not all old bangers. This car was
:05:16. > :05:20.abandoned. And if we cannot find the owner then we have to get rid of it.
:05:21. > :05:24.At the moment, the police can only do what the law allows them to. And
:05:25. > :05:32.there are calls for those laws to change. I found out that there was
:05:33. > :05:38.not any one size fits all legislation. I think we need
:05:39. > :05:42.something a bit more effect. `` effective. And well aware of the
:05:43. > :05:50.problem, the Environment Department's is on the case. We are
:05:51. > :05:54.taking advice and then we'll go out to consultation on them and move
:05:55. > :05:58.forward. It's not clear when the new laws will be passed. But when they
:05:59. > :06:02.are, it's hoped it should help clear abandoned cars like these a little

:06:06. > :06:08.join calls from Guernsey to bring back Low Value Consignment Relief
:06:09. > :06:11.for Channel Island growers. The UK government ended the tax relief last

:06:31. > :06:35.same. Originally it was invented for local growers to use and that is
:06:36. > :06:40.what we would like to get it back for if we could. We still have an
:06:41. > :06:43.industry which is worthwhile supporting and could grow and
:06:44. > :06:50.flourish. But it would be important for them to see if the old LVCR
:06:51. > :06:52.could be returned. You remember on yesterday's
:06:53. > :06:55.programme, we looked at Jersey's GCSE results and discussed a report
:06:56. > :06:58.which found States schools were struggling to recruit specialist

:08:43. > :08:47.together. We have a small community of disabled people here in Jersey
:08:48. > :08:54.and here is an opportunity for everyone to play together. Sport is
:08:55. > :09:02.a great leveller for everyone. And in this sport you put people in
:09:03. > :09:07.chairs and we are all equal. What do you think the children take from
:09:08. > :09:10.this? I think they'd take a lot of awareness about what is going on
:09:11. > :09:15.within their own community, the fact that people with physical
:09:16. > :09:20.disabilities are still taking part in sport and that they can play

:09:50. > :09:54.Time for a look at the weather now. We had a pretty wet day today with
:09:55. > :10:03.the rain pretty much continuous since the early hours of morning.
:10:04. > :10:12.Now to finally push out of the way. `` now beginning to push out of the
:10:13. > :10:16.way. But it has taken its time today, much slower than we
:10:17. > :10:21.originally thought. But there is more wet weather turning up again
:10:22. > :10:27.tomorrow. Rain for the morning and then showers in the afternoon. And
:10:28. > :10:38.feeling on the cold side as well with a brisk wind. The rain
:10:39. > :10:40.eventually move out of the way. This area of cloud is coming in first
:10:41. > :10:49.thing tomorrow morning bringing yet another spell of wet weather first
:10:50. > :10:53.thing. And yet another line of rain coming in for the morning on
:10:54. > :10:59.Saturday. So again some quite wet weather over the next few days.
:11:00. > :11:03.Largely dry tonight. Westerly winds easing a little and overnight
:11:04. > :11:09.temperatures down to nine degrees. Tomorrow we expect to see cloud and
:11:10. > :11:14.rain coming in and for a good part of the morning it could be quite
:11:15. > :11:18.wet. Then through the afternoon the cloud will break up and we could
:11:19. > :11:24.even get some sunny spells. But the showers are never too far away. That

:13:02. > :13:07.they recognise how much she has to offer. Anyone can deal with it. If
:13:08. > :13:15.you look beyond her disability, she has got so much love to give and
:13:16. > :13:22.when you get to know her, she is such a pleasure to look after. She
:13:23. > :13:27.is so easy, and if I can do it, anybody can. The in Cornwall there
:13:28. > :13:32.are currently 14 children of differing ages and backgrounds who

:13:38. > :13:42.in evening between six and 80 clock where they hope to clarify some of
:13:43. > :13:47.the myths about who can adopt. You can be a single person, same`sex
:13:48. > :13:52.couple. You can have her children of your own. This is no age
:13:53. > :13:59.restriction at will. You don't need to own your own house. All those on
:14:00. > :14:04.myths. If for those children needing adoption, what they want is
:14:05. > :14:08.really quite simple. She has just got so much love there for

:14:35. > :14:37.nominated for the International Yacht and Aviation Awards. Louise
:14:38. > :14:41.Walter has been to meet the man dubbed one of the hottest young
:14:42. > :14:46.designers on the maritime scene. I enjoy it. I'll do it all day and
:14:47. > :14:51.night. And it is that passion that has seen Henry Ward been doctored
:14:52. > :14:58.one of the hottest maritime designers around. This design for a
:14:59. > :15:00.floating large house in short listed for the 2014 International
:15:01. > :15:15.Yacht and Aviation Awards. Believe it or not, it is a take on up
:15:16. > :15:20.cycling. We've made this collection of floating lodges and houseboats
:15:21. > :15:24.to recycle and we used the mould and then produce Eco friendly
:15:25. > :15:31.accommodation for people around the world. Luxury is a market that
:15:32. > :15:35.Henry is in. This design for a yacht to include a diamond
:15:36. > :15:41.encrusted on bald spot. So how does he dream up these ideas? I do get a
:15:42. > :15:46.vision of how I think it should look straight away, but after pages
:15:47. > :15:50.and pages of sketches and working alongside the client, we now read
:15:51. > :15:55.that down to something that can be completely different. Henry is a
:15:56. > :16:01.determined young man. He runs his own design company in his spare
:16:02. > :16:05.time whilst also working for a boat builders near Falmouth. His boss is
:16:06. > :16:11.certainly impressed with him. He has got such a great open mind. If
:16:12. > :16:15.you are going to design things, you have to be open`minded and come at
:16:16. > :16:21.things from a fresh and new perspective. And with innovations
:16:22. > :16:26.such as the floating island, Henry is certainly thinking outside the
:16:27. > :16:30.box. A radical plan has been drawn up to
:16:31. > :16:32.move one of Torquay's most historic buildings, the Pavilion, onto a
:16:33. > :16:36.purpose built island in the town's harbour. The idea has been dubbed
:16:37. > :16:47.bonkers by some, but those behind it say it will help regenerate the
:16:48. > :16:52.resort and improve the town's image. The idea is quite simple ` take
:16:53. > :16:57.this iconic Grade 2 listed building and put it on an island in the
:16:58. > :17:04.middle of the harbour. Why? To give Torquay a centrepiece. It is the
:17:05. > :17:10.brainchild of this man who believes Torquay need something to jaw
:17:11. > :17:23.people in. A I am an economist by trade and we need the town to be
:17:24. > :17:27.buzzing. The inner harbour is fall of moored boats and the harbour
:17:28. > :17:33.provides an iconic view of Torquay. So could islanders and the bows
:17:34. > :17:40.share this view. It is like taking a bath. You run the water and you
:17:41. > :17:54.are going to share it with a wardrobe. A bath and a wardrobe
:17:55. > :17:57.does not go together. Will the idea attract support, even though it is
:17:58. > :18:04.something that has been done elsewhere before? They would be
:18:05. > :18:15.doing it for no reason. WHITE spent ?30 million. `` why spend ?13
:18:16. > :18:20.million? It's pointless. This idea to move the pavilion is an
:18:21. > :18:24.alternative to the plan that is being put forward at the moment.
:18:25. > :18:29.Plan A would see a large hotel being built and the pavilion would
:18:30. > :18:34.provide the entrance to the hotel. There would also be car`parking. At
:18:35. > :18:39.this stage the planned to move the Pavilion is at the concept stage.

:21:19. > :21:22.very early age, I mean, I remember going on a bus journey and thinking
:21:23. > :21:27.this is a lovely job. I always wanted to be a bus driver. But when
:21:28. > :21:32.he first started, he made a mistake, possibly because he was too
:21:33. > :21:38.friendly. I came in late and a bus was trying to squeeze its way out.
:21:39. > :21:42.This bloke was struggling and I was trying to give him directions.
:21:43. > :21:46.Little did I know are was aiding and abetting this guy he was
:21:47. > :21:52.stealing the bus. You can't do that now because there are devices on
:21:53. > :22:05.the bus that track them. He has a pile of them due letters. `` of the
:22:06. > :22:11.thank you letters. I just love dealing with the public. He has won
:22:12. > :22:17.awards for his customer care and of course his boss is thrilled he
:22:18. > :22:22.works for the company. There is no` one else like him. He is a

:23:57. > :24:02.there is a chance that we will see a bit of rain. This weather front
:24:03. > :24:07.has plagued us a bit today. It will continue to produce rain across
