:00:16. > :00:18.An initial report into why this search and rescue plane crashed says
:00:19. > :00:21.the pilot wasn't flying on the aircrafts main fuel tanks.
:00:22. > :00:26.Terrifying. Once the second engine cut out, I prepare to myself to die.
:00:27. > :00:34.That was it. House sales in Jersey are at their
:00:35. > :00:42.highest level for six years. How are you doing? Why local posties
:00:43. > :00:54.are delivering good cheer. The search and rescue aircraft which
:00:55. > :00:58.crashed in Jersey earlier this month was running on its reserve fuel
:00:59. > :01:06.supply, despite having two full fuel tanks. That's according to a report
:01:07. > :01:10.out today. The Lions Pride had been part of a search for two missing
:01:11. > :01:14.fishermen when it ditched on a cliff edge in darkness and gale force
:01:15. > :01:17.winds. The report says both of the plane's engines failed after the
:01:18. > :01:23.pilot failed to switch their fuel supply to the main tanks. Mike
:01:24. > :01:27.Wilkins has more. The resting point for the Lions
:01:28. > :01:30.Pride. Almost two weeks ago it was searching for two missing fishermen
:01:31. > :01:33.when it crash landed on a headland in Jersey. Today, the Air Accidents
:01:34. > :01:36.Investigation Branch has concluded that its two engines failed after
:01:37. > :01:39.running out of fuel. Miraculously, no`one was injured and the pilot has
:01:40. > :01:45.been widely praised for ditching in very challenging conditions.
:01:46. > :01:48.Although the plane's fuel tanks were full, the engines were instead being
:01:49. > :01:53.supplied by alternative tanks, known as tip tanks, which had run out
:01:54. > :01:57.during out the flight. The preliminary report says that the
:01:58. > :01:59.fuel supply to the right engine, and then the left engine, became
:02:00. > :02:02.exhausted and the engines ceased producing power approximately 15
:02:03. > :02:07.minutes after the aircraft became airborne. No action was taken to
:02:08. > :02:11.select an alternative fuel source for the engines after their power
:02:12. > :02:21.loss. One of the five crew onboard says he thought he was going to die.
:02:22. > :02:25.Terrifying. One the first engine cut out, for me that was the most
:02:26. > :02:31.terrifying until the second one did. There was still hope we could make
:02:32. > :02:35.it. Once the second engine cut out, myself, not speaking on behalf of
:02:36. > :02:41.the rest of the group, I myself to die. That was it. A pilot was
:02:42. > :02:47.working extremely hard and you do not have a clear indication. There
:02:48. > :02:50.are some very dim lights. Unfortunately, this situation was
:02:51. > :02:53.missed. A replacement aeroplane to sit in
:02:54. > :02:57.this hangar here at Guernsey Airport could cost almost ?3 million but the
:02:58. > :03:01.Air Search founder says if they can raise ?1 million they can patch up
:03:02. > :03:09.the Lions Pride and have her back in the air in nine months' time. It can
:03:10. > :03:13.be repaired. It should be going up to Scotland towards the end of next
:03:14. > :03:21.week or a little later depending on whether. I am afraid it is a large
:03:22. > :03:24.undertaking. It is a nine`month job. It involves a new wing and fuselage.
:03:25. > :03:28.Air investigators are still investigating and the Channel
:03:29. > :03:30.Islands Air Search has set up an independent internal investigation.
:03:31. > :03:37.Mike Wilkins, BBC Channel Islands News.
:03:38. > :03:40.House sales in Jersey are at their highest level for six years. The
:03:41. > :03:43.number of two, three and four bedroom homes which sold between
:03:44. > :03:46.July and September this year was the highest since the third quarter of
:03:47. > :03:50.2007. Average house prices, however, are about the same as last year. So
:03:51. > :03:53.what's prompted this volume of transactions? Earlier, I asked that
:03:54. > :03:59.to Jim Coupe from Channel Islands mortgage lender Skipton
:04:00. > :04:03.International. I don't think it is a sudden rush. We saw increased
:04:04. > :04:11.integrity and that his continued. `` increased activity. There is
:04:12. > :04:13.confidence coming back and stimulus loans will help first`time buyers
:04:14. > :04:22.who don't have the market and they will have purchased properties and
:04:23. > :04:26.helped chains moved forwards. Is their property to meet demand? The
:04:27. > :04:31.general feeling is that there is a lot of property available in Jersey
:04:32. > :04:33.and has been for some time. The prices remaining relatively static
:04:34. > :04:39.would suggest there is plenty of supply. This is good news for people
:04:40. > :04:44.in your industry and estate agents but isn't sustainable? It is good
:04:45. > :04:48.news for the whole economy because housing transactions support the
:04:49. > :04:52.economy. There are a lot of houses still for sales over time, we would
:04:53. > :04:58.say that they return to high volumes is good news. Average prices have
:04:59. > :05:04.not changed that much, hardly likely to come down and help even more
:05:05. > :05:07.people get on the ladder? It is unlikely that traces will reduce
:05:08. > :05:09.because that suggests there is more demand.
:05:10. > :05:11.Jim Coupe, the Managing Director of Skipton International, speaking a
:05:12. > :05:14.little earlier. Plans have been approved for two
:05:15. > :05:20.temporary operating theatres on stilts at Jersey's General Hospital.
:05:21. > :05:23.They'll be used for up to ten years while the proposed new hospital is
:05:24. > :05:26.developed. But after heritage experts objected to the proposed
:05:27. > :05:28.frontage of green ceramic tiles, the designers will go back to the
:05:29. > :05:31.drawing board. Employers in Guernsey won't be
:05:32. > :05:34.paying more social security contributions next year, after a
:05:35. > :05:42.proposal for a 0.5% increase was rejected by States members. However,
:05:43. > :05:45.pensioners in the island will be getting more money next year. Plans
:05:46. > :05:49.were approved for single pensioners to receive just over ?4 a week more,

:06:05. > :06:07.The BBC understands the boar was shot on private land last week.
:06:08. > :06:10.There were concerns it could be carrying diseases. But as the body

:06:40. > :06:50.Guernsey's new language commission hasn't been proactive enough. So
:06:51. > :07:01.what more could be done to promote and preserve patois? Penny
:07:02. > :07:03.Elderfield reports. So I will ask you...
:07:04. > :07:06.A new class... Teaching an old language. And part of efforts to
:07:07. > :07:15.make sure Guernsey French doesn't die out. It is going to need classes
:07:16. > :07:19.for people of all ages. I think the young people it is most important
:07:20. > :07:24.for. As much as possible should be done. It should be included as part
:07:25. > :07:29.of the curriculum in the schools. At one time, you got on the bus went
:07:30. > :07:32.shopping and heard the line what all the time. I would like to play my
:07:33. > :07:38.part in being able to revive that in my family. `` heard the language all
:07:39. > :07:42.the time. An advantage of teaching adults is that they have the
:07:43. > :07:48.opportunity to pass it on. It is part of identity, whether that be
:07:49. > :07:52.personal or the island's identity. It seems that the fact that there is
:07:53. > :07:56.this interest, it seems that this matters to people. Similar classes
:07:57. > :08:03.are held in schools. And over the last year, hours of conversation
:08:04. > :08:06.have been recorded. But is the island really doing enough to
:08:07. > :08:09.preserve patois? Earlier this year, a language commission was formed,
:08:10. > :08:12.tasked with that very job. But there's criticism now that whilst
:08:13. > :08:21.there was a lot of talk about what to do initially, there's not been
:08:22. > :08:24.much action since. I would expect a bit more at this stage to stop it
:08:25. > :08:31.cannot be the same as the French institution, declaring exactly how
:08:32. > :08:34.it should be spoken. What it can do is promote the language, show the
:08:35. > :08:37.diversity and the opportunities that can happen as a result of speaking
:08:38. > :08:40.Guernsey French. But for those with concerns, the commission is planning
:08:41. > :08:42.to give an update next week on exactly what it intends to do to
:08:43. > :08:55.save this language. Postmen and women in Jersey have
:08:56. > :08:59.been delivering a lot more than letters this week. As part of a
:09:00. > :09:02.trial scheme, they're also checking up on vulnerable people during their
:09:03. > :09:05.rounds. Jersey Post is piloting its Call and Check programme in St
:09:06. > :09:10.Brelade. But the scheme has had interest from mail companies around
:09:11. > :09:14.the world, as Tim Robinson reports. Jersey postman Ricky Le Quesne off
:09:15. > :09:22.on his usual round in St Brelade. He's delivered shopping to number
:09:23. > :09:26.24, a present to number 26... But at his next stop, he's delivering a
:09:27. > :09:34.little kindness. Hello, my darling. How are you? Not too bad.
:09:35. > :09:36.This is Call and Check in action. Everything well?
:09:37. > :09:41.Posties like Ricky don't provide care, or help with the housework.
:09:42. > :09:46.They don't even step into the house. They just pop by to say hello and
:09:47. > :09:50.check everything is all right. When I heard about the scheme, I thought,
:09:51. > :09:53."Well, what an absolutely wonderful idea." Because they'll used to
:09:54. > :09:58.meeting their own postman and so he won't be a stranger coming to the
:09:59. > :10:02.door. I thought if I signed up now, I would be used to someone coming
:10:03. > :10:06.and calling, and be available to really get to know him as a friend,
:10:07. > :10:09.and not just a stranger knocking at my door. That familiarity is what
:10:10. > :10:12.inspired Jersey Post to come up with the scheme. It saw growing numbers
:10:13. > :10:16.of elderly, lonely vulnerable people on the island and decided to use its
:10:17. > :10:23.network to help. It seems to have hit a note with lots of places. We
:10:24. > :10:26.have had the Cabinet Office in London interested in it. We've had
:10:27. > :10:29.connections from America, from Australia. So it's just a logical
:10:30. > :10:32.thing for a postal service to develop in to. Logical because it's
:10:33. > :10:36.already calling on most homes every day and because as the need for a
:10:37. > :10:40.traditional postal service declines, companies like Jersey Post have to
:10:41. > :10:43.diversify to make money. If this pilot is successful, they'll ask the
:10:44. > :10:49.Government to fund them to roll it out across the island. If that's a
:10:50. > :10:55.success, the rest of the world may follow Jersey's lead.
:10:56. > :11:03.Let's have a look at the weather. Let's have a look
:11:04. > :11:05.Good evening. The cold air has arrived and I don't think that is
:11:06. > :11:09.going to change that much over the next few days. The wind may ease a
:11:10. > :11:14.little bit, especially into the weekend. But the cold is with us and
:11:15. > :11:18.likely to stay. Tomorrow, that cold wind is still there. A slightly
:11:19. > :11:23.different direction, not quite as strong as today. Some cloudy spells
:11:24. > :11:27.remaining dry. The area of high pressure is going to be close by
:11:28. > :11:31.right through the weekend. That means we stay basically was the
:11:32. > :11:34.colder air. This evening and overnight, there is still the risk
:11:35. > :11:38.of the odd passing shower. That gives a little bit closer by the
:11:39. > :11:41.team we get to the middle of the day tomorrow but it is still around and
:11:42. > :11:46.we can. It gets squashed a little but as the cold weather system
:11:47. > :11:50.arrives for the Northwest. `` it is still around during the weekend.
:11:51. > :11:55.Tonight, still a chance of the odd passing shower. The winds will
:11:56. > :12:00.become a north`easterly and it will also ease with overnight
:12:01. > :12:04.temperatures down. For tomorrow, the morning sunshine will also last
:12:05. > :12:08.until the end of the morning and afternoon before we gradually cloud
:12:09. > :12:10.over. The second half of the day, particularly the end of the
:12:11. > :12:15.afternoon, there is generally more cloud. Tomorrow is not very warm. So
:12:16. > :12:41.in that keen breeze and it will feel colder. That is 50 Fahrenheit.
:12:42. > :12:48.As we move into Saturday, the winds are lighter and we should see some
:12:49. > :12:52.sunshine. A bit more cloud of developing in the second half of the
:12:53. > :12:55.day. Rather cloudy on Sunday and then Monday, finally, that weather
:12:56. > :12:59.front will arrive to bring us some outbreaks of rain. The temperatures
:13:00. > :13:03.do not change all that much over the next few days.
:13:04. > :13:03.Justin is next with Spotlight. I am back at
:13:04. > :19:36.A man has appeared in court in London on terrorism charges
:19:37. > :19:40.following his arrest in Cornwall. Police arrested the man in a dawn
:19:41. > :19:46.raid on a house in Newquay. Eleanor Parkinson reports.
:19:47. > :19:51.The man was detained after a surge of his flat in this building. The
:19:52. > :19:58.other flats contain people not related to him in any way. The
:19:59. > :20:01.police say a pre`dash`mac preplanned operation took place yesterday
:20:02. > :20:09.morning. This investigation has been going on for some time, so it was
:20:10. > :20:16.not related to immediate concerns for public safety, but at 7:30am we
:20:17. > :20:23.made an arrest. Police have named the man as a 46`year`old French
:20:24. > :20:26.Algerian. Neighbours I spoke to this morning said he kept himself to
:20:27. > :20:32.himself and he has lived it for about six months. He was driven to
:20:33. > :20:36.London this morning and appeared before Westminster magistrates this
:20:37. > :20:42.afternoon, charged with having information useful to a terrorist
:20:43. > :20:47.and transferring terrorist information electronically. He is
:20:48. > :20:50.due before the Old Bailey next week. A teacher who blackmailed teenage

:21:31. > :21:35.his story. It's my safe haven, my sanctuary, my
:21:36. > :21:42.sanity. Where would I be without it? I would not know how to get to the
:21:43. > :21:48.days. Dennis is my sixth child. You do not think he will be the one to
:21:49. > :21:53.have a poorly child. He was born at 26 weeks. He then went on to have a
:21:54. > :21:58.bleed on the brain which caused by the catalysts. He then got
:21:59. > :22:04.septicaemia. He has ended up with severe brain damage. Alongside that,
:22:05. > :22:09.we have now got the onset of him suturing because he gets cluster
:22:10. > :22:16.seizures meaning that he can seizure 20 or 30 times. Have to call
:22:17. > :22:20.ambulances many times and the other children are in the house. It is
:22:21. > :22:29.very scary for them. Rupert will hide under the dining table until
:22:30. > :22:34.the ambulance has left. They both need my attention but I cannot tell
:22:35. > :22:40.myself into. You get to the point where you think, why? I sound so
:22:41. > :22:44.horrible but sometimes you wake up feeling there was no light at the
:22:45. > :22:51.end of the tunnel. It is places like this that come into their own and
:22:52. > :22:56.they help and rescue people like me. I could many a time have just given
:22:57. > :23:00.up and said, I just can't do it any more, but I come down here and they
:23:01. > :23:07.are all willing to listen and not pass judgement. Without this, I
:23:08. > :23:12.would not know what I was doing. He gets to do things that I do not have
:23:13. > :23:17.the time to do sometimes. I cannot take him into a swimming pool, so
:23:18. > :23:23.here, with the hot tub, I can get quality time with him, with music on
:23:24. > :23:30.and I just look at him and cried. I look at my beautiful baby boy and
:23:31. > :23:35.have him so close, it is skin to skin in there and he is weightless.
:23:36. > :23:39.I can hold him so tight and I look into his little eyes and think, what
:23:40. > :23:44.is he thinking? Then the sibling team can bring in the other
:23:45. > :23:52.children, so we can go in as a family. I can't take them swimming
:23:53. > :23:56.properly, so they miss out. They have had to take a step back for
:23:57. > :24:01.Dennis. People say it must be hard for you, but no one knows until you
:24:02. > :24:09.go through it how much time, effort, how much it hits that your heart. To
:24:10. > :24:14.be able to get up every day and give the child what it needs, to allow it
:24:15. > :24:22.to thrive and have a life. That is what this place is all about.
:24:23. > :24:26.Well, that's what it's all about and if you're fundraising again this
:24:27. > :24:29.year, there's still time to get tickets to go along to the Party for

:24:48. > :24:52.If you are out raising money for children in need, the weather will
:24:53. > :24:58.be relatively kind, but you will need to wrap up very warm. We have
:24:59. > :25:01.cold days coming up. For tomorrow, less windy and bite and dry. We
:25:02. > :25:09.should get away with a reasonable day tomorrow. Temperatures similar
:25:10. > :25:14.to today. There is cloud coming into the more western parts of the UK
:25:15. > :25:18.today, but the high pressure is with us in one form or another. This is
:25:19. > :25:23.the middle of the day tomorrow and then by the time `` the same time on
:25:24. > :25:28.Saturday, it is still there although much weaker. You can see cloud
:25:29. > :25:32.coming out of Ireland and drifting into Cornwall, but further east we
:25:33. > :25:37.have had a lot of fine weather and sunshine. Earlier today in Newquay,
:25:38. > :25:44.we did have some fine weather but the strength of the wind has whipped
:25:45. > :25:48.up PCs. The waves rippling the coasts of Cornwall and Devon at the
:25:49. > :25:54.moment. Those seeds will gradually calmed down later on tonight and
:25:55. > :25:59.tomorrow. Surfing conditions perhaps a bit better tomorrow. Quite a lot
:26:00. > :26:08.of clout to start with overnight, but with the wind is falling
:26:09. > :26:12.lighter, it will turn frosty. Tomorrow, most of us will wake up
:26:13. > :26:15.with a reasonable start to the day. The exception might be west
:26:16. > :26:20.Cornwall, but for all of us tomorrow I think it is a right, dry day with
:26:21. > :26:27.some sunshine and temperatures similar to today. Through the day,
:26:28. > :26:33.we will see a bit more in the way of cloud across the western parts of
:26:34. > :27:01.Cornwall and, further east we will also see some frost.
:27:02. > :27:11.That brings us to tomorrow evening where we have Pepsi out and about.
:27:12. > :27:16.`` we have Pudsey out and about. It looks like it will be a good
:27:17. > :27:21.evening. Please wrap up warm though as there will be a cold feel to the
:27:22. > :27:27.air by the end of the night. For the weekend outlook, we should have dry,
:27:28. > :27:36.cloudy and misty weather, with next week even colder still. Have a good
:27:37. > :27:39.evening. That is all from us tonight but tomorrow we will be building up
:27:40. > :27:42.to the big fundraising evening for Children in Need. In the meantime,
:27:43. > :27:45.good night.
