:01:03. > :01:06.Guernsey's ambulance service, according to an independent report
:01:07. > :01:10.out today. The service is run by the St John organisation and is
:01:11. > :01:12.struggling financially. Today's review makes 49 recommendations
:01:13. > :01:21.including looking at who should operate the service and how it is
:01:22. > :01:24.funded. Mike Wilkins reports. St John Ambulance Rescue Service is
:01:25. > :01:28.a charitable company which operates the island's only ambulance service.
:01:29. > :01:32.It also provides the cliff rescue service, the inshore lifeboat and
:01:33. > :01:35.the marine ambulance. However, it's spending more than it receives and
:01:36. > :01:41.has been in deficit for the last four years. It receives ?2.25
:01:42. > :01:47.million from the HSSD each year on top of the contributions and
:01:48. > :01:50.donations it receives. But the finances are in such a state that
:01:51. > :01:53.the Treasury and Resources Department has had to lend more than
:01:54. > :01:56.?500,000 to help cover the running costs. As part of that loan
:01:57. > :02:08.agreement, an independent review has been carried out, which makes some
:02:09. > :02:13.significant recommendations. This report contains 49 recommendations
:02:14. > :02:17.to improve the ambulance service. It may look like it has a lot of
:02:18. > :02:20.technology, but this control room is struggling to cope and calls are not
:02:21. > :02:24.always handled efficiently. So much so that the report concludes there
:02:25. > :02:27.is an urgent need to equip the control room with a better despatch
:02:28. > :02:30.system. It also recommends that staffing levels are improved so they
:02:31. > :02:34.provide adequate and appropriate cover. And as the organisation
:02:35. > :02:43.battles to balance its books, management costs need to be reduced.
:02:44. > :02:50.Not only do we run Guernsey's emergency service, we provide other
:02:51. > :02:53.services. Therefore, our management structure is going to be difficult
:02:54. > :02:57.to compare with another ambulance service. We recognise that within
:02:58. > :03:00.that we need to do some restructuring. We have come if that
:03:01. > :03:05.already. We have been quite successful. We expect by the end of
:03:06. > :03:08.next year a reduction in costs. In terms of delivering a better
:03:09. > :03:12.service, the report concludes that St John will need ?1.5 million to
:03:13. > :03:18.2.5 million pounds extra each year to break even. I am disappointed
:03:19. > :03:22.that we have had an ambling service which hasn't been a efficient. I am
:03:23. > :03:30.pleased we have had a good service. That comes out in the report. The
:03:31. > :03:32.service is much loved and respected but as it financial injuries receive
:03:33. > :03:37.treatment, it's ultimately the taxpayer keeping it alive.

:12:32. > :12:39.to the box, which pupils from the same school buried in the early
:12:40. > :12:44.'90s. A couple of things caught the children's imagination. One was a
:12:45. > :12:48.booklet made 20 years ago by the year five and year six pupils. It
:12:49. > :12:53.was a beautifully presented book. On the front were some drawings. A girl

:13:10. > :13:16.Good evening. Lots going on this weekend across the islands,
:13:17. > :13:19.including Remembrance Sunday. On Sunday, the weather is going to be
:13:20. > :13:26.kind to us. We are between weather systems. So, largely dry, albeit
:13:27. > :13:32.chilly. The weekend is split into two. It is a shallow restart.
:13:33. > :13:36.Brighter on Sunday. The winds are dropping for a time as well. The
:13:37. > :13:42.best day for a few days is likely this weekend. There is the cloud
:13:43. > :13:46.structure. There are some showers around at the moment. The cloud will
:13:47. > :13:51.move out of the way overnight. For a time, the skies will be clear. ,
:13:52. > :14:02.another line of rain seems to want to come through. `` by Dawn. On
:14:03. > :14:07.Sunday, we have a ridge of high pressure. It keeps the weather
:14:08. > :14:12.fronts at bay. That is the forecast for overnight. Plenty of showers
:14:13. > :14:17.around. For a few hours, there will be clear skies. Temperatures as low
:14:18. > :14:22.as eight or nine degrees. Tomorrow morning a great rash of showers
:14:23. > :14:28.moving in. In the middle part of the morning, it looks quite wet some of
:14:29. > :14:36.the showers will bring some feel. `` some hail. Quite a mixture going on
:14:37. > :14:43.through the day tomorrow. 12 degrees is the top temperature. The times of

:14:57. > :15:01.is a better day. Bright and dry If we are going to see any rain, it
:15:02. > :15:07.will be overnight into Monday. Remembrance Sunday is a dry day

:15:35. > :15:36.Onto the sport now, and Dave's been to meet a highly`rated welterweight
:15:37. > :15:39.boxer from Devon, who's preparing for his first professional fight
:15:40. > :15:46.later this month. This is a boxing gym in Torquay,

:15:52. > :15:57.his first professional boxing match after his amateur career.
:15:58. > :16:03.And there will be the quest to win the Anglia cup tomorrow. There is
:16:04. > :16:08.more reason for the Chiefs to do well this year, because their home
:16:09. > :16:13.stadium has been chosen to have the final in March.
:16:14. > :16:19.And three teams hope to win `` to get to the final of the FA Cup. One

:16:28. > :16:38.in time for their match against City. And Paul McCallum is eligible
:16:39. > :16:44.to play against Rochdale. This story is about the breeding
:16:45. > :16:53.ground for Formula 1 drivers, and the next one could be from this
:16:54. > :16:58.area. Would he overtake him `` players like Lewis Hamilton
:16:59. > :17:03.one`day? And maybe a schoolboy, but Alex is
:17:04. > :17:10.making a big name for himself in motorsport. He is only 12, but he is
:17:11. > :17:15.going to the next stage. He is ranked number two in the country,
:17:16. > :17:21.and has already joined a racing team. However, his performances this
:17:22. > :17:36.season have also attracted attention from beef or RE `` from the top of
:17:37. > :17:42.the karting groups. Top races from Formula 1 have been
:17:43. > :17:49.Carters in the past. He has become a prolific winner.
:17:50. > :17:54.There is the championships and the British open Championships and the
:17:55. > :18:02.Grand Prix, which is to events, and I was lucky to win both of them. And
:18:03. > :18:04.the first winner of the Grand Prix championship?
:18:05. > :18:10.Lewis Hamilton. You only have to look at Alex's room to see that
:18:11. > :18:14.there is more than luck involved. In fact, she has achieved all this
:18:15. > :18:20.against the odds. Despite receiving some sponsorship, other opponents
:18:21. > :18:28.have a full`time teams. Luckily for Alex, his dad is a mechanic.
:18:29. > :18:35.It is an expensive sport and we need more help. We are reliant on the
:18:36. > :18:42.bank of mum and dad. It is every boy's dream to get to Formula 1, and
:18:43. > :18:48.the karting is a stepping stone. Winter testing with his new team and
:18:49. > :18:55.his new cart begins tomorrow, just after his final cadet phrase. He has
:18:56. > :19:02.already been over to Italy for a test drive, and there are talks that
:19:03. > :19:09.he might go back in the future. I want to go into Formula 1, but
:19:10. > :19:15.everyone wants that. But I think anything with four wheels and an
:19:16. > :19:19.engine would be good for me. Freddie, are you ready for your
:19:20. > :19:26.professional career after only four years as an amateur?
:19:27. > :19:32.I can't wait to get in the ring. I just want to do it now I am here.
:19:33. > :19:40.Have you done enough in your amateur career? 11 wins.
:19:41. > :19:53.I started boxing late, when I was 18. I did mostly knockouts as well.
:19:54. > :19:58.I think my boxing style suits the professional style. I am ready.
:19:59. > :20:04.What do you think your strengths are?
:20:05. > :20:13.I think it is these. People always find it hard to get speed. I am a
:20:14. > :20:20.faster. My goal is to keep improving. I will see how I have
:20:21. > :20:29.done in two years. If you cannot beat them, then joined
:20:30. > :20:41.them. Great work, loved every minute!
:20:42. > :20:46.Now, as the nation prepares to mark remembrance weekend, new light has
:20:47. > :20:55.been shed on the life and work of a Second World War poets. John Jarmain
:20:56. > :20:59.saw action at the Battle of El Alamein, and was killed in 1944. His
:21:00. > :21:02.letters from the front line to his wife in Dorset contained much of his
:21:03. > :21:05.poetry. Now, those letters have been donated to the University of Exeter.
:21:06. > :21:11.Simon Clemison has the story. We have seen sand frothing like the
:21:12. > :21:19.sea in our wheels, wrapped in the dust from Sun and sky without a mark
:21:20. > :21:25.to guide them by. The words were written by her
:21:26. > :21:31.father. She always knew that he was a published war poets, but she did
:21:32. > :21:35.not know that her mother had kept let after letter, revealing his
:21:36. > :21:41.character as well as his poems. It gave me an insight into my
:21:42. > :21:45.Father, which I had not thought of before, as I had never known him. He
:21:46. > :21:54.became a person. He was killed in 1944 when Janet was
:21:55. > :22:00.very young. He was a significant Second World War poet, and there are
:22:01. > :22:09.not many poets from that era. Why are the First World War poets more
:22:10. > :22:13.non`quiz`macro it could be that the First World War poets had already
:22:14. > :22:15.written about much of the experience.
:22:16. > :22:22.But the Second World War poets could write about the sand and the desert.
:22:23. > :22:27.The environment was even more hostile for a lover of green
:22:28. > :22:32.landscapes. James is a poets who has written
:22:33. > :22:38.extensively about Dorset. He tells me that whilst poets may have
:22:39. > :22:45.written about their surroundings, it is the country that they are writing
:22:46. > :22:49.`` fighting for that is prominent in their writing.
:22:50. > :22:54.I think you get that from all war poets. They are describing the
:22:55. > :22:57.landscape that they are fighting in, but their memory takes them back to
:22:58. > :23:02.where they come from. It is the collection that we have
:23:03. > :23:08.been given from John Jarmain. Janet has now parted company with
:23:09. > :23:14.most of the correspondence. It is now in the University. The letter is
:23:15. > :23:18.in the middle with more words in the margin.
:23:19. > :23:26.It is fantastic to receive these letters. John Jarmain was a local
:23:27. > :23:37.writer. We have a horrific resource here `` a fantastic resource here.
:23:38. > :23:42.John Jarmain is at home, surrounded with other great writers here.
:23:43. > :23:48.Students may discover more about the poetry of the Second World War, from
:23:49. > :23:52.these same letters that helped Janet discover more about her family.
:23:53. > :24:00.I wish everyone could read these letters, because they are a
:24:01. > :24:06.wonderful love story. It is remembrance weekend. Is it
:24:07. > :24:12.looking like a good weather for Sunday?
:24:13. > :24:22.I think so. Most of the morning services should be dry.
:24:23. > :24:32.Saturday might be quite wet, but it should be brighter on Sunday. The
:24:33. > :24:39.rain will be quite heavy tomorrow morning. There will be quite a lot
:24:40. > :24:44.of cloud, according to the satellite picture. All of this cloud is moving
:24:45. > :24:51.our way, but briefly, we will get some breaks in the cloud. This
:24:52. > :24:55.weather will move in towards dawn to give this some wet weather at first
:24:56. > :25:03.thing. There will be a risk of some hail and under, turning more
:25:04. > :25:10.showery. Then we will be between weather systems. This line of cloud
