which is going to hit the Philippines on our website. That | :00:00. | :00:10. | |
Today the blueprints were shown to the public for the first time. The | :00:11. | :01:11. | |
new hospital would be split over two sites, with a new Accident and | :01:12. | :01:14. | |
Emergency, maternity unit and operating theatres. Our reporter Tim | :01:15. | :01:17. | |
Robinson was in St Brelade to see how the idea went down with | :01:18. | :01:20. | |
islanders. Learning how ?297 million of their | :01:21. | :01:25. | |
taxes will be spent. Today the public got their first glimpse of | :01:26. | :01:28. | |
the plan to overhaul Jersey's hospital. Today is all about selling | :01:29. | :01:38. | |
the plans for the new hospital. Even the health bosses have turned out to | :01:39. | :01:43. | |
personally promote the idea. But the question is are people going to bite | :01:44. | :01:49. | |
his Mac an awful lot needs to be done. I just hope that they asked | :01:50. | :01:55. | |
the right people the right questions. The biggest problem is | :01:56. | :01:59. | |
for the people who work there whilst it is all going on. You need space | :02:00. | :02:08. | |
for temporary accommodation. And it's not just the public who have | :02:09. | :02:11. | |
questions about the proposal. States members will begin scrutinising the | :02:12. | :02:18. | |
detail of the plan soon. We believe that the plan for single bedded ward | :02:19. | :02:27. | |
needs to be looked at. What is important is that the public have a | :02:28. | :02:31. | |
choice when it comes to going into hospital. So there is still some | :02:32. | :02:39. | |
convincing to do and the health and social services department is making | :02:40. | :02:45. | |
a big effort to do it. This needs to happen because the population in the | :02:46. | :02:48. | |
island is getting older, and older people make a bigger demand on | :02:49. | :02:51. | |
hospital services and medical services generally. And the hospital | :02:52. | :02:54. | |
itself is getting older, it's getting a bit tired. It needs to be | :02:55. | :02:57. | |
updated and revamped. So we've developed proposals to how we can do | :02:58. | :03:01. | |
that, and we'd like to engage islanders through this series of | :03:02. | :03:04. | |
events to tell them about what those proposals are and to get their | :03:05. | :03:07. | |
comments. And there will be plenty of comments for the Health | :03:08. | :03:10. | |
department to hear, with four more of these events before the States | :03:11. | :03:14. | |
votes on the plan's funding in December. | :03:15. | :03:21. | |
A member of Guernsey's education board is promising there'll be a | :03:22. | :03:24. | |
consultation with parents over the future of the 11`Plus. Last night | :03:25. | :03:27. | |
four board members said they opposed selection for secondary education. | :03:28. | :03:30. | |
They were at a meeting organised by the group Save Our Secondary Schools | :03:31. | :03:33. | |
to discuss falling standards in education. | :03:34. | :03:37. | |
A UK MP is calling for the UK government to review what he calls | :03:38. | :03:39. | |
"institutional failures in Jersey", after his friend, the former Senator | :03:40. | :03:43. | |
Stuart Syvret, was jailed for three months. Liberal Democrat John | :03:44. | :03:45. | |
Hemming says Syvret's sentence is "a chilling affront to free speech | :03:46. | :03:48. | |
following his imprisonment earlier this week for contempt of court The | :03:49. | :03:51. | |
former Health Minister was jailed for failing to turn up in court | :03:52. | :03:54. | |
after being asked to take down online allegations about four | :03:55. | :03:57. | |
islanders. New laws could be introduced to help | :03:58. | :04:01. | |
speed up the time it takes Guernsey Police to deal with abandoned cars. | :04:02. | :04:04. | |
Officers come across hundreds each year. But at the moment the process | :04:05. | :04:07. | |
of impounding them, and finally scrapping the vehicles can take | :04:08. | :04:10. | |
several months. Penny Elderfield reports. | :04:11. | :04:15. | |
An eyesore and a nuisance for the police, who deal with hundreds of | :04:16. | :04:22. | |
abandoned cars each year. And because of the current laws, it can | :04:23. | :04:30. | |
be a laborious process. You can see cobwebs, it clearly has not moved | :04:31. | :04:36. | |
for ages. We have two were the car at a cost to the taxpayer and then | :04:37. | :04:44. | |
we have two impound it. We had to then arrange for it to be scrapped. | :04:45. | :04:53. | |
At any one time there can be 50 vehicles here. They stay here for a | :04:54. | :04:57. | |
few months whilst the police tried to establish that there is an owner | :04:58. | :05:01. | |
before they can actually scrapped them. It's obvious why some aren't | :05:02. | :05:05. | |
road`worthy anymore. But they're not all old bangers. This car was | :05:06. | :05:15. | |
abandoned. And if we cannot find the owner then we have to get rid of it. | :05:16. | :05:20. | |
At the moment, the police can only do what the law allows them to. And | :05:21. | :05:24. | |
there are calls for those laws to change. I found out that there was | :05:25. | :05:32. | |
not any one size fits all legislation. I think we need | :05:33. | :05:38. | |
something a bit more effect. `` effective. And well aware of the | :05:39. | :05:42. | |
problem, the Environment Department's is on the case. We are | :05:43. | :05:50. | |
taking advice and then we'll go out to consultation on them and move | :05:51. | :05:54. | |
forward. It's not clear when the new laws will be passed. But when they | :05:55. | :05:58. | |
are, it's hoped it should help clear abandoned cars like these a little | :05:59. | :06:02. | |
quicker. Jersey's Chief Minister says he ll | :06:03. | :06:05. | |
join calls from Guernsey to bring back Low Value Consignment Relief | :06:06. | :06:08. | |
for Channel Island growers. The UK government ended the tax relief last | :06:09. | :06:11. | |
year, because it felt mail order firms like Play.com were exploiting | :06:12. | :06:16. | |
it. Guernsey is lobbying the UK to reintroduce LVCR for island`grown | :06:17. | :06:21. | |
produce. Jersey Deputy Steve Luce has called for Ian Gorst to do the | :06:22. | :06:30. | |
same. Originally it was invented for local growers to use and that is | :06:31. | :06:35. | |
what we would like to get it back for if we could. We still have an | :06:36. | :06:40. | |
industry which is worthwhile supporting and could grow and | :06:41. | :06:43. | |
flourish. But it would be important for them to see if the old LVCR | :06:44. | :06:50. | |
could be returned. You remember on yesterday's | :06:51. | :06:52. | |
programme, we looked at Jersey's GCSE results and discussed a report | :06:53. | :06:55. | |
which found States schools were struggling to recruit specialist | :06:56. | :06:58. | |
maths teachers. During that report we inadvertently got the figures | :06:59. | :07:01. | |
mixed up for two of the 11`16 schools ` Grainville and Le | :07:02. | :07:04. | |
Rocquier. We'd like to make it clear that 66% of pupils left Grainville | :07:05. | :07:08. | |
with at least five A star to C grades this summer. We're pleased to | :07:09. | :07:11. | |
confirm it's an improving school and we apologise for the error. | :07:12. | :07:14. | |
You're watching the BBC in the Channel Islands. Later in Spotlight | :07:15. | :07:17. | |
with Justin and Clare, radical ideas from a local designer creating waves | :07:18. | :07:22. | |
in the boating world. Hundreds of schoolchildren in Jersey | :07:23. | :07:26. | |
have been getting the chance to try out wheelchair basketball this week. | :07:27. | :07:28. | |
A former Great British Paralympian is running the scheme to give pupils | :07:29. | :07:32. | |
the chance to experience the sport for themselves. Our reporter Pam | :07:33. | :07:35. | |
Caulfield went along to one of the drills. | :07:36. | :07:43. | |
So a lesson with a difference for these year eight pupils in Jersey. | :07:44. | :07:49. | |
They are shooting hoops at the moment. And narrow miss! Then is 13 | :07:50. | :07:56. | |
and has been taking part today. `` Ben. It is really fun to play | :07:57. | :08:03. | |
different sports and this is really different. What kind of muscle does | :08:04. | :08:09. | |
it take? Mostly your arms get tired. And have you grown in appreciation | :08:10. | :08:14. | |
of how it is to play the sport? It is really fun. The man who has been | :08:15. | :08:26. | |
making it all happen is Roddenberry. `` Gordon Perry. You have been | :08:27. | :08:34. | |
running this for quite a few years. What are the benefits of children | :08:35. | :08:37. | |
learning a sport like this? Well it is a sport where everyone pulls | :08:38. | :08:42. | |
together. We have a small community of disabled people here in Jersey | :08:43. | :08:47. | |
and here is an opportunity for everyone to play together. Sport is | :08:48. | :08:54. | |
a great leveller for everyone. And in this sport you put people in | :08:55. | :09:02. | |
chairs and we are all equal. What do you think the children take from | :09:03. | :09:07. | |
this? I think they'd take a lot of awareness about what is going on | :09:08. | :09:10. | |
within their own community, the fact that people with physical | :09:11. | :09:15. | |
disabilities are still taking part in sport and that they can play | :09:16. | :09:20. | |
along with them as well. For example in a men's green `` mainstream | :09:21. | :09:29. | |
school, people do not have to be left out. | :09:30. | :09:36. | |
Over 500 children will be getting to take part in this the sport through | :09:37. | :09:39. | |
the week. And it will be finishing up tomorrow. | :09:40. | :09:49. | |
Time for a look at the weather now. We had a pretty wet day today with | :09:50. | :09:54. | |
the rain pretty much continuous since the early hours of morning. | :09:55. | :10:03. | |
Now to finally push out of the way. `` now beginning to push out of the | :10:04. | :10:12. | |
way. But it has taken its time today, much slower than we | :10:13. | :10:16. | |
originally thought. But there is more wet weather turning up again | :10:17. | :10:21. | |
tomorrow. Rain for the morning and then showers in the afternoon. And | :10:22. | :10:27. | |
feeling on the cold side as well with a brisk wind. The rain | :10:28. | :10:38. | |
eventually move out of the way. This area of cloud is coming in first | :10:39. | :10:40. | |
thing tomorrow morning bringing yet another spell of wet weather first | :10:41. | :10:49. | |
thing. And yet another line of rain coming in for the morning on | :10:50. | :10:53. | |
Saturday. So again some quite wet weather over the next few days. | :10:54. | :10:59. | |
Largely dry tonight. Westerly winds easing a little and overnight | :11:00. | :11:03. | |
temperatures down to nine degrees. Tomorrow we expect to see cloud and | :11:04. | :11:09. | |
rain coming in and for a good part of the morning it could be quite | :11:10. | :11:14. | |
wet. Then through the afternoon the cloud will break up and we could | :11:15. | :11:18. | |
even get some sunny spells. But the showers are never too far away. That | :11:19. | :11:24. | |
is the forecast for the coastal waters. Showers with moderate | :11:25. | :11:40. | |
disability. `` visibility. The outlook is much better as we head | :11:41. | :11:46. | |
into the second half of the weekend. Sunday should be largely dry. | :11:47. | :11:49. | |
Sunday should be largely And that is all for the Channel | :11:50. | :11:54. | |
Islands this evening. We have an update at 1030 AM. And you can keep | :11:55. | :12:04. | |
up`to`date with your local radio. Good evening. | :12:05. | :12:18. | |
two years ago when their boat was damaged. | :12:19. | :12:23. | |
People across the region are being encouraged to consider adoption, | :12:24. | :12:25. | |
regardless of their age, personal circumstances or sexuality. Tonight, | :12:26. | :12:28. | |
Cornwall Council is hosting a drop` in evening where they hope to | :12:29. | :12:31. | |
clarify some of the myths about who can adopt. | :12:32. | :12:44. | |
Just five years old and this young girl last playing at Happy families. | :12:45. | :12:48. | |
She has been diagnosed with cerebral palsy and finding someone | :12:49. | :12:53. | |
to adopt and care for her permanently would make a lasting | :12:54. | :12:56. | |
difference. For the last year she has lived with foster parents and | :12:57. | :13:01. | |
they recognise how much she has to offer. Anyone can deal with it. If | :13:02. | :13:07. | |
you look beyond her disability, she has got so much love to give and | :13:08. | :13:15. | |
when you get to know her, she is such a pleasure to look after. She | :13:16. | :13:22. | |
is so easy, and if I can do it, anybody can. The in Cornwall there | :13:23. | :13:27. | |
are currently 14 children of differing ages and backgrounds who | :13:28. | :13:32. | |
need a permanent family. Tonight Cornwall council is hosting a drop | :13:33. | :13:37. | |
in evening between six and 80 clock where they hope to clarify some of | :13:38. | :13:42. | |
the myths about who can adopt. You can be a single person, same`sex | :13:43. | :13:47. | |
couple. You can have her children of your own. This is no age | :13:48. | :13:52. | |
restriction at will. You don't need to own your own house. All those on | :13:53. | :13:59. | |
myths. If for those children needing adoption, what they want is | :14:00. | :14:04. | |
really quite simple. She has just got so much love there for | :14:05. | :14:08. | |
everybody and anybody really. You know, she just wants a forever | :14:09. | :14:15. | |
family, and somebody she can call Mahmood, or dad. `` can call mummy | :14:16. | :14:26. | |
or daddy. A young designer from Falmouth has | :14:27. | :14:28. | |
been shortlisted for a prestigous international yacht design award at | :14:29. | :14:32. | |
the tender age of 24. Henry Ward is amongst the youngest ever to be | :14:33. | :14:34. | |
nominated for the International Yacht and Aviation Awards. Louise | :14:35. | :14:37. | |
Walter has been to meet the man dubbed one of the hottest young | :14:38. | :14:41. | |
designers on the maritime scene. I enjoy it. I'll do it all day and | :14:42. | :14:46. | |
night. And it is that passion that has seen Henry Ward been doctored | :14:47. | :14:51. | |
one of the hottest maritime designers around. This design for a | :14:52. | :14:58. | |
floating large house in short listed for the 2014 International | :14:59. | :15:00. | |
Yacht and Aviation Awards. Believe it or not, it is a take on up | :15:01. | :15:15. | |
cycling. We've made this collection of floating lodges and houseboats | :15:16. | :15:20. | |
to recycle and we used the mould and then produce Eco friendly | :15:21. | :15:24. | |
accommodation for people around the world. Luxury is a market that | :15:25. | :15:31. | |
Henry is in. This design for a yacht to include a diamond | :15:32. | :15:35. | |
encrusted on bald spot. So how does he dream up these ideas? I do get a | :15:36. | :15:41. | |
vision of how I think it should look straight away, but after pages | :15:42. | :15:46. | |
and pages of sketches and working alongside the client, we now read | :15:47. | :15:50. | |
that down to something that can be completely different. Henry is a | :15:51. | :15:55. | |
determined young man. He runs his own design company in his spare | :15:56. | :16:01. | |
time whilst also working for a boat builders near Falmouth. His boss is | :16:02. | :16:05. | |
certainly impressed with him. He has got such a great open mind. If | :16:06. | :16:11. | |
you are going to design things, you have to be open`minded and come at | :16:12. | :16:15. | |
things from a fresh and new perspective. And with innovations | :16:16. | :16:21. | |
such as the floating island, Henry is certainly thinking outside the | :16:22. | :16:26. | |
box. A radical plan has been drawn up to | :16:27. | :16:30. | |
move one of Torquay's most historic buildings, the Pavilion, onto a | :16:31. | :16:32. | |
purpose built island in the town's harbour. The idea has been dubbed | :16:33. | :16:36. | |
bonkers by some, but those behind it say it will help regenerate the | :16:37. | :16:47. | |
resort and improve the town's image. The idea is quite simple ` take | :16:48. | :16:52. | |
this iconic Grade 2 listed building and put it on an island in the | :16:53. | :16:57. | |
middle of the harbour. Why? To give Torquay a centrepiece. It is the | :16:58. | :17:04. | |
brainchild of this man who believes Torquay need something to jaw | :17:05. | :17:10. | |
people in. A I am an economist by trade and we need the town to be | :17:11. | :17:23. | |
buzzing. The inner harbour is fall of moored boats and the harbour | :17:24. | :17:27. | |
provides an iconic view of Torquay. So could islanders and the bows | :17:28. | :17:33. | |
share this view. It is like taking a bath. You run the water and you | :17:34. | :17:40. | |
are going to share it with a wardrobe. A bath and a wardrobe | :17:41. | :17:54. | |
does not go together. Will the idea attract support, even though it is | :17:55. | :17:57. | |
something that has been done elsewhere before? They would be | :17:58. | :18:04. | |
doing it for no reason. WHITE spent ?30 million. `` why spend ?13 | :18:05. | :18:15. | |
million? It's pointless. This idea to move the pavilion is an | :18:16. | :18:20. | |
alternative to the plan that is being put forward at the moment. | :18:21. | :18:24. | |
Plan A would see a large hotel being built and the pavilion would | :18:25. | :18:29. | |
provide the entrance to the hotel. There would also be car`parking. At | :18:30. | :18:34. | |
this stage the planned to move the Pavilion is at the concept stage. | :18:35. | :18:39. | |
The people behind it are confident it will gather support. | :18:40. | :18:45. | |
A family`run company in Cornwall have been asked to lead the Lord | :18:46. | :18:48. | |
Mayor's show in London with their lovingly restored 1940s lorry. | :18:49. | :18:50. | |
Mitchell and Webber oil distributors revived the old fleet | :18:51. | :18:53. | |
tanker to such a high spec, it's thought to be one of the best | :18:54. | :18:56. | |
restorations of its kind. Johnny Rutherford went to see it in | :18:57. | :19:00. | |
Scorrier before Saturday's show. The Mitchell and whether families | :19:01. | :19:04. | |
have been delivering oil For over 100 years. This sort of bed for it | :19:05. | :19:09. | |
would have been seen on all the lanes been called off. This one has | :19:10. | :19:16. | |
been perfectly restored by a Alan, who has worked for the oil | :19:17. | :19:23. | |
distributors for over 30 years. I am honoured to drive it and | :19:24. | :19:27. | |
privilege to go to the Lord Mayor's Show with it. The oil tanker's job | :19:28. | :19:37. | |
is to lead a cavalcade and of vehicles `` a cavalcade of vehicles. | :19:38. | :19:51. | |
The new Lord Mayor wanted energy as one of the themes of the show and | :19:52. | :19:55. | |
telephoned us and asked if we could be part of it. It took 12 months to | :19:56. | :20:00. | |
restore this vehicle. Lot of detailed work, right down to be | :20:01. | :20:04. | |
signed that was hand written using the original paint from the 1950s. | :20:05. | :20:09. | |
This Bedford match is a beautifully with the two they used to be used | :20:10. | :20:14. | |
by the company in the 1940s and 1950s, and it looks brand new. It | :20:15. | :20:20. | |
is three years younger than me and in better condition. I feel very | :20:21. | :20:25. | |
passionate about it. From what it used to be when it was broken down | :20:26. | :20:30. | |
to what it is now, it is 101 % better. And it is a good sign of | :20:31. | :20:36. | |
the company's success as they continued to grow with their latest | :20:37. | :20:42. | |
branch opening in Tiverton. A man from Cornwall, who's been a | :20:43. | :20:45. | |
bus driver for a quarter of a century, is in the running for an | :20:46. | :20:48. | |
industry Oscar. Gino Contrino has already won several awards and | :20:49. | :20:51. | |
received dozens of thank you letters from happy passengers. Now | :20:52. | :20:54. | |
he's hoping to become the UK's Best Bus Driver at a special ceremony in | :20:55. | :20:57. | |
London. Spotlight's Janine Jansen has been to meet him. | :20:58. | :21:05. | |
His name may sound Italian, but Gino Contrino is Cornish through | :21:06. | :21:10. | |
and through. He has been driving buses here for 26 years. From a | :21:11. | :21:18. | |
very early age, I mean, I remember going on a bus journey and thinking | :21:19. | :21:22. | |
this is a lovely job. I always wanted to be a bus driver. But when | :21:23. | :21:27. | |
he first started, he made a mistake, possibly because he was too | :21:28. | :21:32. | |
friendly. I came in late and a bus was trying to squeeze its way out. | :21:33. | :21:38. | |
This bloke was struggling and I was trying to give him directions. | :21:39. | :21:42. | |
Little did I know are was aiding and abetting this guy he was | :21:43. | :21:46. | |
stealing the bus. You can't do that now because there are devices on | :21:47. | :21:52. | |
the bus that track them. He has a pile of them due letters. `` of the | :21:53. | :22:05. | |
thank you letters. I just love dealing with the public. He has won | :22:06. | :22:11. | |
awards for his customer care and of course his boss is thrilled he | :22:12. | :22:17. | |
works for the company. There is no` one else like him. He is a | :22:18. | :22:22. | |
character in himself and he does an amazing job. Well, Gino Contrino is | :22:23. | :22:29. | |
so popular that even one of his passengers has written a poem in | :22:30. | :22:37. | |
about him. Never po`faced of silent and never Kurds. `` Kurt. Gino | :22:38. | :22:47. | |
Contrino has been nominated for the best bus driver award and everyone | :22:48. | :22:58. | |
knows about it. People have been tooting their horns and wishing me | :22:59. | :23:03. | |
well. The award ceremony will be held later this month in London. I | :23:04. | :23:17. | |
have a chicken named after me. I'm sure the Queen hasn't. I don't | :23:18. | :23:27. | |
think she has. Best of luck to him. Now the weather. | :23:28. | :23:34. | |
It has turned colder over the last few days. The temperatures have | :23:35. | :23:38. | |
lowered and as we head in towards the weekend we will see a world | :23:39. | :23:42. | |
first frost of the season. Saturday night looks as if it could be | :23:43. | :23:48. | |
chilly. Tomorrow, heavy rain first thing in the morning. That will be | :23:49. | :23:51. | |
replaced by sunshine and showers in the afternoon, but for all of us | :23:52. | :23:56. | |
there is a chance that we will see a bit of rain. This weather front | :23:57. | :24:02. | |
has plagued us a bit today. It will continue to produce rain across | :24:03. | :24:07. | |
northern France before it moves out of the way. There are no real clear | :24:08. | :24:11. | |
spells in this cloud structure which means their arm more showers | :24:12. | :24:23. | |
to come. One line will come in tonight. Some of them could be | :24:24. | :24:28. | |
quite intense with a risk of hail and thunder. After we lose that | :24:29. | :24:35. | |
line of showers, or we will have another one. There is some good | :24:36. | :24:41. | |
news because this weather system will be arriving a bit later and | :24:42. | :24:48. | |
Remembrance Sunday could be a dry day for all of us. We do have some | :24:49. | :24:58. | |
breaks developing in the cloud later tonight. Showers will become | :24:59. | :25:05. | |
more frequent as the night wears on. Briefly, clear skies, but at the | :25:06. | :25:10. | |
end of that night, generally clouding over. Low temperatures | :25:11. | :25:19. | |
will likely be in Somerset and Dorset. Further west the | :25:20. | :25:24. | |
temperatures are around seven and ten Celsius. Tomorrow morning that | :25:25. | :25:29. | |
line of showers will move through the English Channel, probably | :25:30. | :25:35. | |
giving some intense rain. What follows up a line of showers that | :25:36. | :25:40. | |
could be heavy. But every now and again we should get a glimpse of | :25:41. | :25:46. | |
the sunshine. There will be a brisk breeze and it will feel cold for | :25:47. | :25:49. | |
all of us. Temperatures will struggle. 12 degrees is the highest | :25:50. | :25:56. | |
we can expect. Looking further ahead to what is going to happen | :25:57. | :26:01. | |
across the Isles of Scilly, there will be brain first thing in the | :26:02. | :26:04. | |
morning, but moving through quite quickly. `` will be rain. There is | :26:05. | :26:17. | |
the forecast for the times of high water: | :26:18. | :26:28. | |
The north coast is going to be messy with very big waves. Here are | :26:29. | :26:44. | |
the coastal waters? `` coastal waters: | :26:45. | :26:53. | |
Showers on Saturday, but good news for Remembrance Sunday it will be | :26:54. | :27:01. | |
