: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

:12:02. > :12:12.some overnight frost. I had to radio Jersey, should women

:12:13. > :12:17.hold lead roles in the Christian church? That is the question on

:12:18. > :12:21.Matthew's programme tomorrow morning. That is all from the team

:12:22. > :12:28.here in the Channel Islands. Goodbye.

:12:29. > :12:32.value judgement. We have not heard the last of this. In two years time,

:12:33. > :12:41.another First GreatWestern franchise must be let. Still to come tonight

:12:42. > :12:48.the councillors who didn't pay their council tax. Plus, Find out why this

:12:49. > :12:55.man is so happy to be at the helm of Axminster Carpets. This is what

:12:56. > :12:59.manufacturing should be all about. And a life on ice. The Plymouth man

:13:00. > :13:05.hoping to inspire the explorers of the future. Relatives of the

:13:06. > :13:08.imprisoned Greenpeace activists from Devon have been given a glimmer of

:13:09. > :13:12.hope following the decision by a judge in Russia to release 12 other

:13:13. > :13:15.campaigners on bail. The three were arrested in September after a

:13:16. > :13:18.protest in the Pechora Sea against drilling in the Arctic. They were

:13:19. > :13:20.initially detained in Murmansk, but have since been moved to St

:13:21. > :13:26.Petersburg. Spotlight's Leigh Rundle reports. This is a live web feed

:13:27. > :13:32.from the courtroom in Saint Petersburg were the Arctic 30 are

:13:33. > :13:35.appearing. Since yesterday lunchtime around one third of the campaigners

: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

:14:23. > :14:25.father and he said that now that someone other than a Russian

: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

:15:12. > :15:21.should be known by the end of the week. `` Devon. Councils across

: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

:17:05. > :17:10.up. A Cornish tourist attraction has laid off 19 people. Staff at the

:17:11. > :17:14.theme park have had their working hours got or have been put on Flex

:17:15. > :17:25.eater. The park is up for sale and it is hoped that the staff will be

:17:26. > :17:28.re`employed. New research shows more than 27,000 families in the

:17:29. > :17:31.south`west were affected in August by the government's controversial

:17:32. > :17:34.new housing benefit reforms. The National Housing Federation says

:17:35. > :17:39.families are an average ?782 worse off a year. Cornwall had the most

:17:40. > :17:43.families affected, at 2,826. Charges in Exeter's council`run car parks

:17:44. > :17:47.could be frozen next year to help stimulate economic growth in the

:17:48. > :17:50.city. The proposal goes before the city council next week. It's also

:17:51. > :17:58.looking at cutting charges in the run up to Christmas. Now, can one

:17:59. > :18:02.man change the fortunes of an ailing company in just six months? It would

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

:18:07. > :18:11.loss of around 300 jobs. It left a workforce of 104. One month later,

:18:12. > :18:15.businessman, Stephen Boyd, stepped in, and now there are 159 full time

:18:16. > :18:19.staff on the books. The company says it's doubled turnover, and is close

:18:20. > :18:22.to meeting its target for the year. In the first of two special reports,

:18:23. > :18:32.Spotlight's Andrea Ormsby has been to Axminster to find out more about

:18:33. > :18:40.this change in fortunes. March the 5th, 2013, a bad day for Axminster.

:18:41. > :18:43.Its biggest employer, the historic and world`famous Axminster carpets,

:18:44. > :18:49.goes into Administration. Of the 400 jobs, 300 are lost, a huge

:18:50. > :18:56.psychological and financial blow to the town. But then, just one month

:18:57. > :19:02.later, something happened. More precisely, someone happened. Good

:19:03. > :19:07.morning, Jill. Enter Stephen Boyd. Already chairman of two it

:19:08. > :19:13.south`west companies and with a reputation for turning businesses

:19:14. > :19:17.around. It is just wonderful. You have got high technology working

:19:18. > :19:21.with traditional skills. You have got modern styles being used on

:19:22. > :19:27.traditional materials. It is a wonderful combination. He has been

:19:28. > :19:31.here six months and already has an impressive knowledge of every aspect

:19:32. > :19:36.of this factory. He knows the name of every member of staff, Andy

:19:37. > :19:42.cannot hide his almost childlike passion for the place. This is what

:19:43. > :19:46.manufacturing should be all about. It is making something with skill,

:19:47. > :19:51.with technology, with people, most of all, that can be turned into

:19:52. > :19:56.something that the customer can really appreciate, because of its

:19:57. > :20:01.beauty and the skill that has gone into making it. Now, keep to the

:20:02. > :20:07.left. You should be able to see where you are going. Good morning.

:20:08. > :20:11.This is the inspection area where every single carpet is checked

:20:12. > :20:17.individually and any force corrected by hand. Underneath, the light is

:20:18. > :20:30.shining through, so any force show up. `` faults. Sue Ford has worked

:20:31. > :20:37.for Axminster carpets for 40 years. She approves of her new boss. He's a

:20:38. > :20:43.breath of fresh air. He's `` she is not alone. Stephen is around all the

:20:44. > :20:46.time and there was a positive appeal to the place, it is moving forward,

:20:47. > :20:51.things are changing, and we feel positive about the future. Praise

:20:52. > :20:57.from the workforce must surely be gratifying to hear. It is but it is

:20:58. > :21:00.not a personal thing, it is about building a team, and that is what we

:21:01. > :21:07.have been doing for the last six months, building a team, throughout

:21:08. > :21:10.the organisation, really getting people to be involved, to get

:21:11. > :21:15.motivated and to appreciate that it is all of us working together who

:21:16. > :21:18.will make the play successful. And the successful six months it has

:21:19. > :21:30.been, with turnover doubled, new staff taken on, and targets on

:21:31. > :21:35.track. And tomorrow, Andrea will find out more about the company's

:21:36. > :21:40.modernisation plans and how it is winning new business. Have you ever

:21:41. > :21:46.wondered what it would be like to ski to the South Pole? Polar

:21:47. > :21:49.explorer Plymouth is helping young people understand what life was like

:22:33. > :22:37.Jinman as he skis, Solo, to the South Pole. He was inspired by

:22:38. > :22:41.Captain Scott and he hopes to do the same for these children. The purpose

:22:42. > :22:45.is to inspire children in the south`west and in Plymouth, raising

:22:46. > :22:48.aspirations about career opportunities and helping them with

:22:49. > :22:54.their lifestyles and let them follow their own dreams in life. Anthony

:23:32. > :23:36.The opportunity to meet a real`life polar explorer such as Anthony is

:23:43. > :23:45.on their own expeditions in future, these children have really enjoyed

:23:46. > :23:58.learning about life as a polar explorer. Nowhere near polar

:23:59. > :24:03.conditions here, but it is a bit colder. We have had some photographs

:24:04. > :24:09.posted on the Facebook page of a little bit of snow. You have been

:24:10. > :24:17.doing training for this Antarctic expedition by not turning the

:24:18. > :24:22.heating on! Christmas eve, it can go on.

:24:23. > :24:27.We have had some snow flurries on higher ground. Lower down we have

:24:28. > :24:33.had some showers, most of which have gone, but Laura Bourton glee, again,

:24:34. > :24:36.we're going to see a frost tonight, widespread across the east of 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

:27:18. > :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
