:00:00. > :00:11.good evening. The headlines: A England. That
:00:12. > :00:22.good evening. The headlines: A tragedy of toxic smoke, how a home
:00:23. > :00:26.may have contributed to his death. Be hoarded chick added fuel to the
:00:27. > :00:33.fire. The area where it started had a lot of electrical items. Why
:00:34. > :00:39.education and transport bosses are planning for the worst this winter.
:00:40. > :00:46.And the residents calling for speed traps to make the roads safer. They
:00:47. > :00:48.would only take a second for a child to come out of a driveway and there
:00:49. > :00:59.would be a serious accident. An inquest's found a pensioner died
:01:00. > :01:03.from carbon monoxide poisoning during a fire at his Jersey home.
:01:04. > :01:09.Harry Crossley died in May after breathing in toxic smoke from the
:01:10. > :01:13.blaze, caused by an old faulty lamp. It was the first fire related death
:01:14. > :01:20.in the island for half a decade and the fire service says it was
:01:21. > :01:28.preventable. The fire started here in this flat.
:01:29. > :01:30.It is part of a living complex. All the emergency services were called
:01:31. > :01:33.but they couldn't save him. When the fire service arrived here at
:01:34. > :01:37.Victoria Cottage Homes they found Mr Crossley behind the bedroom door and
:01:38. > :01:40.the room filled with a thick black fog. Today's inquest found he died
:01:41. > :01:44.from carbon monoxide poisoning after he breathed in that smoke. And
:01:45. > :01:47.during the inquest held here, Mr Crossley was described as a hoarder
:01:48. > :01:53.who collected electrical items from bins. The blaze was caused by a
:01:54. > :01:57.faulty cable on an old lamp which set alight other belongings lying on
:01:58. > :02:06.the floor and also hampered the rescue effort. The fire service
:02:07. > :02:13.described his death as preventable. Holding added fuel to the fire. The
:02:14. > :02:18.room where the fire started had a lot of white goods, electrical items
:02:19. > :02:25.and the majority were not plugged in. Bedding, blankets and clothing
:02:26. > :02:28.adds fuel to the fire. All you need is oxygen, sheet and fuel and once
:02:29. > :02:31.they come together, you have fire. The smoke alarm was sounding but the
:02:32. > :02:35.neighbour living above said it would regularly go off by accident. The
:02:36. > :02:37.complex is run by the Housing Department but residents live here
:02:38. > :02:40.independently. Concerns had been raised about Mr Crossley's mental
:02:41. > :02:49.health but a psychiatric assessment found he was fit enough to live
:02:50. > :02:54.alone. We will continue to work with other agencies across the state and
:02:55. > :02:58.private sector to look where we can enhance those services or make any
:02:59. > :03:04.further improvements. We have to be clear that as a landlord, our powers
:03:05. > :03:11.do have a limit and we're not going to be in a position to force anybody
:03:12. > :03:13.to move into residential care or alternative housing options. The
:03:14. > :03:16.inquest heard the department tried several times to help Mr Crossley
:03:17. > :03:19.clear his belongings and plan to change rental contracts to help them
:03:20. > :03:23.intervene and improve tenant's living conditions.
:03:24. > :03:29.States employees in Jersey will be getting a 4% pay rise in January due
:03:30. > :03:32.to an agreement on modernising the public sector. The Chief Minister
:03:33. > :03:36.says significant progress has been made with unions over new working
:03:37. > :03:40.practices. Senator Ian Gorst says the agreements show all sides are
:03:41. > :03:49.prepared to work together. The teaching union NASUWT welcomed the
:03:50. > :03:55.news. Since 2009, teachers have fallen
:03:56. > :04:00.behind in pay and teachers need this because it will enable us to recruit
:04:01. > :04:04.staff and retain the quality teaching staff that Jersey needs and
:04:05. > :04:06.that Jersey's children deserve. States workers in Guernsey have
:04:07. > :04:10.overwhelmingly rejected plans to change their pensions. Members of 14
:04:11. > :04:14.unions met last night to discuss the States' offer which involves higher
:04:15. > :04:16.employee contributions. Union representatives will meet with the
:04:17. > :04:22.States tomorrow to discuss a potential compromise.
:04:23. > :04:25.As winter sets in, Guernsey is readying itself to cope with another
:04:26. > :04:29.heavy snowfall. Last March the island came to a stand`still when
:04:30. > :04:31.the bad weather descended. And the authorities want to make sure
:04:32. > :04:36.they're prepared if it happens again.
:04:37. > :04:44.When the snow comes down thick and fast, with it comes a certain amount
:04:45. > :04:48.of chaos. As we saw last March. And as winter sets in plans have been
:04:49. > :04:59.put in place to make sure we're ready for more. Severe cold weather
:05:00. > :05:06.is on the register and it has an impact. Although it is not usually
:05:07. > :05:09.lyse `` life in danger scenarios, we have to work together as a
:05:10. > :05:13.multi`urgent `` multi`agency response. And this stage that
:05:14. > :05:16.approach involves this, getting those involved in dealing with the
:05:17. > :05:24.snow together to discuss what the priorities should be.
:05:25. > :05:34.You have to have time to put the preparations in place. We do this
:05:35. > :05:44.throughout the year. The weather is turning now so we are preparing for
:05:45. > :05:47.that. For States Works it's all about being prepared and that means
:05:48. > :05:51.buying in enough salt and chemicals to clear the roads. Behind me is
:05:52. > :05:57.around 75 tonnes of it, enough for five snow days. It is a balance of
:05:58. > :06:04.what we can afford. We don't have snow every year. Historically, it
:06:05. > :06:10.has been several years and then we have a bad downpour. We need enough
:06:11. > :06:16.to last the last `` the worst scenario. If we have a week of snow,
:06:17. > :06:19.that is about it. It's not often we see snow like this, but the
:06:20. > :06:21.authorities are confident if we do in the months ahead the island will
:06:22. > :06:24.be ready. Flights to and from Jersey Airport
:06:25. > :06:28.were delayed this afternoon after reports of smoke set off fire alarms
:06:29. > :06:31.in the departures hall. Passengers were stopped from checking in for
:06:32. > :06:34.flights and kept in arrivals while airport bosses and the fire service
:06:35. > :06:37.established the cause of the alarm. Departing flights were delayed from
:06:38. > :06:41.taking off and flights which had just landed were kept on the runway
:06:42. > :06:45.with passengers on board. Passengers faced long queues for security once
:06:46. > :06:48.the terminal re`opened. Politicians in Guernsey are refusing
:06:49. > :06:51.to comment on the behaviour of their chief economist after he pleaded
:06:52. > :06:55.guilty to punching a Jersey policeman when drunk. Dr Andrew
:06:56. > :06:57.Sloan was fined, and sentenced to 70 hours of community service in
:06:58. > :07:02.Jersey's Magistrates Court yesterday, following the assault in
:07:03. > :07:06.a hotel bar. He'd been part of the Guernsey delegation at the British
:07:07. > :07:08.and Irish Council summit in Jersey. A leaked email from Guernsey's
:07:09. > :07:12.government suggests a criminal offence shouldn't be treated as a
:07:13. > :07:16.case for automatic dismissal. The body of the Channel Islands Air
:07:17. > :07:20.Search plane which crash landed in Jersey was moved from the site
:07:21. > :07:23.today. The wings and tail of the aircraft had already been dismantled
:07:24. > :07:27.to prepare it for the journey to Scotland for repairs. The air search
:07:28. > :07:38.charity hopes to raise a million pounds to repair it.
:07:39. > :07:42.Later, how schoolchildren are joining a polar explorer on his
:07:43. > :07:45.latest expedition from the safety of their classroom.
:07:46. > :07:48.Speed cameras could be coming to Jersey roads. That's if St Helier
:07:49. > :07:51.Constable Simon Crowcroft gets his way. He says many residents are sick
:07:52. > :07:55.of drivers speeding along one particular green lane on the edge of
:07:56. > :07:59.town. Constable Crowcroft want to trial average`speed cameras in that
:08:00. > :08:04.area ` and spread them across the island if it's a success.
:08:05. > :08:11.These are hugely controversial in the UK. Some see them as a protector
:08:12. > :08:15.of pedestrians and preventor of accidents. Others see them as a
:08:16. > :08:20.plague on the roads, making pretty villages ugly, and criminalising
:08:21. > :08:27.drivers. Now they could be coming to a street near you. This one in
:08:28. > :08:33.particular in fact. Residents on Le Grand Route de Mont A'Labbe are sick
:08:34. > :08:37.of cars driving too fast. This stretch of road, whether they're
:08:38. > :08:40.going north or south, the speed is just riduclous, they're going 30/40
:08:41. > :08:45.miles per hour plus, and one of these days there is going to be a
:08:46. > :08:48.serious accident. So last night they met their
:08:49. > :08:52.constable Simon Crowcroft to demand action. His suggestion introducing
:08:53. > :08:56.cameras at either end of the road to check the average speed of drivers
:08:57. > :09:03.using it with fines for drivers who go too fast. The advantage of using
:09:04. > :09:06.this type of camera technology is it doesnt involve the roadworks I was
:09:07. > :09:10.talking about, it doesn't involve police officers standing at the side
:09:11. > :09:21.of the road in all hours of the day and night. It does the job 24/7,
:09:22. > :09:24.very efficiently. Of course, nobody likes getting a speeding ticket, but
:09:25. > :09:28.I think we have to accept that speeding in places like Le Grand
:09:29. > :09:31.Route de Mont a L'abbe, is affecting the quality of life of people using
:09:32. > :09:35.that green lane. Constable Crowcroft admitted even he would dread the
:09:36. > :09:39.sight of speed cameras on the Island as a driver but says if the idea is
:09:40. > :09:46.popular, a trial could start here within a year.
:09:47. > :09:51.What do you think of the idea? Is it something you agree is needed in
:09:52. > :09:52.Jersey or is it a step too far for the Channel Islands with their new
:09:53. > :10:10.speed limits in the first place? We still need to wrap up warm over
:10:11. > :10:14.the next few days as there is not a great deal of change in the
:10:15. > :10:19.temperatures. We will see more cloud later on tonight and some outbreaks
:10:20. > :10:24.of Rainford tomorrow. It would be a cold snap trumpeters down to three
:10:25. > :10:30.Celsius. It gets less cold by the morning with rain at times. The wind
:10:31. > :10:34.becomes strong and we get gale force winds by the time we come to
:10:35. > :10:39.tomorrow morning `` tomorrow evening. We have this low pressure
:10:40. > :10:43.which will bring weather systems towards us. The first of which is
:10:44. > :10:53.introducing less cold air. The second has more rain following on
:10:54. > :11:01.behind. Only briefly does it warm up into double figures. Initially
:11:02. > :11:05.tonight, we will have temperatures down to three Celsius before it
:11:06. > :11:12.clouds over toward stormers temperatures rise again. As for
:11:13. > :11:16.tomorrow, a lot of cloud for the day. That rain band becomes more
:11:17. > :11:20.widespread and heavier through the afternoon as the cold front
:11:21. > :11:32.approaches. 10 Celsius will be the top temperature tomorrow. The wind
:11:33. > :11:37.is north`westerly. These are our times of high water. St Helier
:11:38. > :11:55.is... Temperatures are back down to single
:11:56. > :11:59.figures from Thursday. We have sharp showers around on Thursday. As we
:12:00. > :12:01.move into the weekend, things settle down but there is still the risk of

:13:36. > :13:42.had been granted bail. Not yet those from Devon. They are engineer Ian
:13:43. > :13:48.Rogers, journalist Ciaran Brine, and PR, Alex Harris. Alex's farther back
:13:49. > :13:54.home city is encouraged by the news that some UK needs have been
:13:55. > :13:58.released. I just pray that she is also granted bail. I remember last
:13:59. > :14:01.time she was before the judge, they turned it down, and she did
:14:02. > :14:08.breakdown of little bit. That called on heartstrings for all of us. It is
:14:09. > :14:10.now nine weeks since the 30 Greenpeace campaigners and the ship
:14:11. > :14:13.were seized by the Russian authorities, in a protest against
:14:14. > :14:18.drilling for oil in the Arctic. They have been detained ever since, but
:14:19. > :14:22.the past few days have brought a glimmer of hope. Kieran Brian's

:14:26. > :14:29.national has been granted bail, Kieran, Alex and Ian might have a
:14:30. > :14:34.good chance of getting granted bail, dude. Charges of piracy and
:14:35. > :14:38.hooliganism still stand, but the latest developments are being viewed
:14:39. > :14:44.with optimism. It is definitely good news. There has not been much good
:14:45. > :14:49.news coming back from Russia after this point. You cannot predict what
:14:50. > :14:53.is to happen given the nature of the legal system there, but the
:14:54. > :14:57.indications say that they should all be granted bail, but it is worth
:14:58. > :15:02.remembering that we do not have any idea what the bail conditions are,
:15:03. > :15:06.where they will be detained, so there was still a lot of unanswered
:15:07. > :15:11.questions, but it is good news. The fate of all three Bevan activists

:15:22. > :15:25.Devon have taken their own councillors to court nine times in
:15:26. > :15:29.the last four years to make them pay their council tax. And they've had
:15:30. > :15:32.to send out a total of 76 reminders in that time. Our Political reporter
:15:33. > :15:36.Jenny Kumah has been investigating and I asked her what was known about
:15:37. > :15:39.the councillors involved. No names have been revealed but we know which
:15:40. > :15:42.councils had to resort to court action to get councillors to pay up
:15:43. > :15:47.and how often they have had to do that. Porridge, West Devon and mid
:15:48. > :15:54.Devon have each taken legal action against non`dash`mac nonpaying
:15:55. > :15:57.councillors. North Devon has had to chase a councillor for payment
:15:58. > :16:03.through the courts every year for the past four years. What reasons
:16:04. > :16:07.might there be for councillors not been council tax? Council leader
:16:08. > :16:10.said that councillors are human like anyone else and can run into
:16:11. > :16:14.financial problems, but they say that they do not condone councillors
:16:15. > :16:20.not paying up, and this was a sentiment echoed on the streets of
:16:21. > :16:25.Devon. I think it is amazing, crazy. Why would they do that? Everyone has
:16:26. > :16:32.got to pay, everyone is hard up at the minute. They ought to be
:16:33. > :16:36.upstanding citizens, I would say. That is not very fair, really,
:16:37. > :16:40.because if they voted these things in, they should be prepared to pay
:16:41. > :16:45.for them themselves. What consequences to the councillors face
:16:46. > :16:50.if they do not pay? They face the same legal consequences as anyone
:16:51. > :16:56.else would. They are not allowed to vote on matters affecting taxation
:16:57. > :16:59.whilst in arrears. The leader of North Devon Council said he would
:17:00. > :17:04.prefer that to be tougher sanctions against councillors who do not pay

:18:03. > :18:06.seem so. In March, Axminster Carpets went into administration with the

:24:46. > :24:52.The strongest gusts of wind along the North Cornish coast. Let us look
:24:53. > :24:58.at what is happening over the next 24 hours. We have cloud coming in
:24:59. > :25:00.across parts of Scotland. That is an area of low pressure that will
:25:01. > :25:08.gradually sweep south during the course of the night. Don't expect a
:25:09. > :25:12.frosty start, but certainly a damp one. The lowest temperatures and the
:25:13. > :25:17.first half of the night, which will then start to pick up. Then we have
:25:18. > :25:22.a line of heavy rain covering most of this Southampton, moving quite
:25:23. > :25:29.fast, and behind it, colder air. As we move into Thursday and the
:25:30. > :25:32.weekend, we have high pressure coming in and cold air coming in
:25:33. > :25:37.from the North East again. There is the satellite picture and more in
:25:38. > :25:43.the way of detail. You can see that cloud over most of Ireland and
:25:44. > :25:47.Scotland. A few showers drifting down on that northerly breeze. Those
:25:48. > :25:50.showers will probably carry on for a short while, keeping things above
:25:51. > :25:55.freezing for most of West Cornwall and parts of North Devon. Further
:25:56. > :26:01.east, that post will bring temperatures down as low as `2.
:26:02. > :26:05.There is a risk of some stretches of ice, but by the end of the night,
:26:06. > :26:11.that milder air will arrive. That will bring thicker cloud and
:26:12. > :26:16.freshening winds as well as rain. By dawn tomorrow morning, most of us
:26:17. > :26:21.waking up to start, but increasingly windy, with the wind coming in from
:26:22. > :26:26.the west or north`west. Temperatures higher tomorrow, although not
:26:27. > :26:30.feeling warmer goes it is windy, and rain from the start of the day will
:26:31. > :26:36.gradually become more persistent and heavy. Then, replaced by showers in
:26:37. > :26:40.the afternoon. In the middle of the day, a line of heavy rain across
:26:41. > :26:46.most of North Devon into Somerset, and there might be some snow on that
:26:47. > :26:49.as it crosses the tops of Exmoor and Dartmoor. Then we have showers
:26:50. > :26:54.following on behind. Some of those will be wintry, and it will be
:26:55. > :27:01.windy, those wins north`westerly, touching gale force along the north
:27:02. > :27:09.Cornwall and North Devon coast. With the wind chill, it will feel colder.
:27:10. > :27:11.For the Isles of Scilly, very windy with morning rain replaced by
:27:12. > :27:12.sunshine and showers in the afternoon. And the times of high
:27:13. > :27:17.water. The best and cleanest surf will be
:27:18. > :27:23.along the south coast. There is the coastal waters
:27:24. > :27:35.forecast. Have a good evening. I am just
:27:36. > :27:38.wondering if you are going to have an official switch on of the
:27:39. > :27:46.heating, with mulled wine and Christmas carols. I can make myself
:27:47. > :27:47.available! That's all for now. Goodbye.
