:00:35. > :00:37.The headlines: An historic day for Guernsey ` the island moves a step
:00:38. > :00:41.closer to improving rights for its disabled people. It's a first step.
:00:42. > :00:44.The flats once described as hell. Residents return after ?4 million of
:00:45. > :00:56.investment. And why switching on Guernsey's Tree of Joy is a special
:00:57. > :00:59.moment for seven`year`old Jake. Guernsey has moved a step closer to
:01:00. > :01:02.equal rights for disabled people. Today deputies voted unanimously in
:01:03. > :01:05.favour of adopting a Disability and Inclusion Strategy. Hundreds of
:01:06. > :01:08.people gathered outside the States to show their support, as Mike
:01:09. > :01:12.Wilkins reports. Cheers and smiles this morning from
:01:13. > :01:20.people determined to make sure their voices are heard. I suffer with the
:01:21. > :01:28.hidden disability which is not necessarily seen by people. I feel
:01:29. > :01:31.people should be more aware of people in the same predicament as
:01:32. > :01:43.myself. It is an overwhelming turnout. I want to be in support of
:01:44. > :01:46.this. I really do think it matters. Behind me and all around me you can
:01:47. > :01:50.see the strength for the strategy but it is still up to the people
:01:51. > :01:56.inside the chamber 's to determine the ultimate outcome.
:01:57. > :01:59.Under the strategy: New anti`discrimintion laws will be
:02:00. > :02:02.drafted. Employment opportunities and accessibility will be examined.
:02:03. > :02:03.More and better information will be made available for disabled
:02:04. > :02:04.islanders, carers and employers. made available for disabled
:02:05. > :02:04.islanders, carers and employers And made available for disabled
:02:05. > :02:07.islanders, carers and employers. And islanders, carers and employers. And
:02:08. > :02:11.the Island will sign up to the UN Convention on Rights for Disabled
:02:12. > :02:18.People. Today is the first step on a long journey. There are still some
:02:19. > :02:22.parts to be addressed. But it is a first step, let's start. I call it
:02:23. > :02:31.these camp on my Everest and we are at base camp. But some still feel
:02:32. > :02:36.the States will need to deliver on its promise.
:02:37. > :02:49.The important aspect is to make sure this strategy is resourced. And that
:02:50. > :02:52.other areas are also resourced. When 14,000 islanders are disabled, this
:02:53. > :02:54.new strategy has the potential to help many people.
:02:55. > :03:04.The challenge now is to keep the momentum going to ensure it passes
:03:05. > :03:07.swiftly into law. It was once one of Jersey's most run down tower blocks,
:03:08. > :03:10.now tenants are returning to La Colette flats after a ?4 million
:03:11. > :03:14.refurbishment. Some described living in the old damp flats as hell, so
:03:15. > :03:19.how have they reacted to their new homes? Tim Robinson went to find
:03:20. > :03:24.out. Come on in. This is La Collette a
:03:25. > :03:31.year ago. We met Paul Davey, who said living in this damp flat with
:03:32. > :03:37.his family, was hell. This is where it was supposed to be fixed before.
:03:38. > :03:40.The damp issue for me, is a big concern, mainly because of my
:03:41. > :03:44.daughter, and the amount of times we've taken her to hospital, and
:03:45. > :03:48.they've had to put her on steroids, because of her asthma, and this damp
:03:49. > :03:51.is not helping ` now the weather's turning again. We really shouldn't
:03:52. > :03:54.be here. The housing department has spent ?4 million renovating this
:03:55. > :03:57.listed tower block, in an effort to make stories like that a thing of
:03:58. > :04:07.the past. The walls were peeling a lot. Here everything has been sorted
:04:08. > :04:14.now. One resident Frances Young was proud to show off her new flat.
:04:15. > :04:18.Everybody had areas in their apartments that needed seeing to and
:04:19. > :04:28.it was quite damp especially in this area. It is a complete
:04:29. > :04:34.refurbishment. There are many more tenants still desperate to get out
:04:35. > :04:38.of damp homes. Amy Ware's baby has to sleep in the lounge, next to
:04:39. > :04:41.walls that are mouldy and cold. She says she's tried everything to get
:04:42. > :04:44.her family moved. I do not know where else to turn. I have spoken to
:04:45. > :04:48.the Minister and everybody. I have got so many agencies involved in
:04:49. > :04:53.lawyers, I do not know where to go now. It is heartbreaking. The
:04:54. > :04:56.housing department wants to borrow ?250 million to renovate or replace
:04:57. > :05:00.of hundreds more homes like Amy s. The States will vote whether to
:05:01. > :05:07.allow that loan to happen in next weeks' budget. Tenants like Amy will
:05:08. > :05:10.be watching that closely. Patients at Guernsey's Princess
:05:11. > :05:11.Elizabeth Hospital could soon be banned from smoking anywhere on the
:05:12. > :05:14.hospital grounds. At the moment, hospital grounds. At the moment
:05:15. > :05:17.smokers can use designated shelters outside the building, but the health
:05:18. > :05:20.department are working on a policy to protect staff and patients.
:05:21. > :05:27.Similar plans are being considered in England. It's emerged that a
:05:28. > :05:29.Jersey lawyer has appeared before the Magistrates Court charged with
:05:30. > :05:32.assaulting a woman. Five days ago, Advocate Philip Sinel
:05:33. > :05:36.was accused of grave and criminal assault dating back to 2006. His
:05:37. > :05:40.case will be heard again in two weeks' time.
:05:41. > :05:42.The top prize in this year's Channel Islands Christmas Lottery has
:05:43. > :05:46.already passed last year's jackpot total. It's now worth ?695,000 with
:05:47. > :05:56.more than three weeks to go before the draw.
:05:57. > :05:59.Almost ?750,000 of taxpayer's money is being earmarked to try to keep
:06:00. > :06:02.the world's largest hoard of Celtic coins in Jersey. They were
:06:03. > :06:05.discovered by metal detector enthusiasts last year. The money's
:06:06. > :06:09.been put aside to restore the treasure so it can go on display `
:06:10. > :06:15.and there's also a plan to reward the finders. Pam Caulfield reports.
:06:16. > :06:18.70,000 coins ` one of the biggest hoards in the world. Discovered
:06:19. > :06:22.right here in Jersey. And that's where the States wants it to stay.
:06:23. > :06:30.It may never have been unearthed if it wasn't for this man and his
:06:31. > :06:34.friend. It has been a pleasure in being part of finding the most
:06:35. > :06:41.amazing board of iron age equipment ever. Of course we have to speak
:06:42. > :06:47.about money later on. But for the moment, let's enjoy what we have got
:06:48. > :06:50.and make the most of it. And to allow Jersey Heritage to restore and
:06:51. > :06:56.display it ` the Treasury's set aside ?750,000 of taxpayer's money.
:06:57. > :07:02.It should be properly looked after, properly unpicked by the Jersey
:07:03. > :07:07.Heritage trust and we should get the maximum interpretation of what is an
:07:08. > :07:10.exciting part of our history. There was an unexpected item and that was
:07:11. > :07:18.why we have made a decision to withdraw it from the condition ``
:07:19. > :07:21.contingencies. But its true value won't be known
:07:22. > :07:25.until the coins are separated. Despite the Crown being the official
:07:26. > :07:36.owners, there are promises to reward the finders of this great discovery.
:07:37. > :07:42.You're watching the BBC on the Channel Islands. But its true value
:07:43. > :07:51.won't be known until the coins are separated. Most people take to
:07:52. > :07:53.crafts as they get older, find out why this lady has gone for a tattoo
:07:54. > :07:56.instead. As we head towards December it's
:07:57. > :08:00.almost time for the big Christmas lights switch`ons. Tomorrow, the
:08:01. > :08:03.Tree of Joy will be turned on in Guernsey and every year a different
:08:04. > :08:07.child is picked to do it. This year it's Jake Guy, a seven year old with
:08:08. > :08:10.a life`limiting heart condition. Penny Elderfield went to meet him.
:08:11. > :08:17.It was your first Christmas. The day before your surgery. Looking through
:08:18. > :08:20.their old photos, for for Holly and Jake it's a reminder of just how
:08:21. > :08:22.much he's been through over the years.
:08:23. > :08:28.Now seven, he's already had several major heart operations and relies
:08:29. > :08:36.100% on a pace`maker. And this year's been particularly tough. Very
:08:37. > :08:43.hard. He was very unwell for six weeks. He had a line that went in
:08:44. > :08:49.there and went to his heart. For him to have blood tests every two hours
:08:50. > :08:55.was hard for him. You were very brave? You had a hard time in
:08:56. > :09:06.hospital? Harder than you thought it would be? And on the news because he
:09:07. > :09:11.was excited to tell me, he is turning on the lights on Guernsey's
:09:12. > :09:18.tree of joy. What do you think it will be when you have turned the
:09:19. > :09:21.lights on? Celebrity! And he will be the star of the show when his family
:09:22. > :09:33.and friends come to watch and turn on the lights of the tree of joy. It
:09:34. > :09:40.is all about guests for children. `` presents. You pick up a tag with a
:09:41. > :09:45.child's name on it, you buy a present and you wrap it. It has to
:09:46. > :09:50.be done by the 10th of December. For Jake, the important date is tomorrow
:09:51. > :09:53.when he will get to do something he is very excited about.
:09:54. > :10:02.Good luck to Jake. David has the weather forecast. What will it be
:10:03. > :10:08.like for the switch on? It is not overly cold, temperatures have risen
:10:09. > :10:17.a little bit. It is a little bit of a boring story to tell. Cloudy
:10:18. > :10:21.tonight and cloudy tomorrow. At the moment the cloud is quite thick and
:10:22. > :10:25.it is thick enough to produce some spit of light rain and drizzle.
:10:26. > :10:31.First thing tomorrow there could be some mist around. Tomorrow it is a
:10:32. > :10:34.cloudy day, there is little changed in that picture throughout the day.
:10:35. > :10:39.We have a weather front that has come in from the North. The weather
:10:40. > :10:43.pressure has weakened, there is cloud wrapped around it at the
:10:44. > :10:48.moment. We will keep an eye on that of the next 24 hours. One weather
:10:49. > :10:55.system that has moved on as rotten cold air. That cloud will be
:10:56. > :11:02.sovereign through the day. `` has brought in. Note the wind direction
:11:03. > :11:08.on Friday, it is a north`westerly direction. We will see light showers
:11:09. > :11:11.which are quite isolated and fresh conditions. It should improve
:11:12. > :11:17.visibility and get rid of this cloud and drizzle and mist. We keep it
:11:18. > :11:22.grey and misty tomorrow morning. Overnight temperatures down as low
:11:23. > :11:25.as seven degrees. Very light winds saw nothing to stir the error.
:11:26. > :11:35.Tomorrow we have some spots of drizzle in the morning. `` stir the

:11:52. > :12:07.There is not a great deal for our servers. Here is the outlook, it
:12:08. > :12:14.gets better as we head towards the weekend. 11 degrees, the top
:12:15. > :12:16.temperature. And nice day on Saturday and then more cloud on
:12:17. > :12:24.Sunday in the high`pressure comes back. That is it for me. The
:12:25. > :12:26.headlines come on at eight o'clock. We go back to Justin and
:12:27. > :19:00.play`off final win over Brentford at Wembley, has been placed on the
:19:01. > :19:03.transfer`list. The 23`year`old Dubliner has failed to find the
:19:04. > :19:05.target this season, with the Glovers struggling at the bottom of the
:19:06. > :19:07.Championship standings. Wembley, has been placed
:19:08. > :19:10.It was honours even in the 37th Devon derby between Torquay United
:19:11. > :19:13.and Plymouth Argyle at Plainmoor last night. In a frantic opening,
:19:14. > :19:16.United took the lead through Elliot Benyon despite Luke McCormick's
:19:17. > :19:19.initial save. Soon after, Luke Young's free`kick was handled by
:19:20. > :19:22.Nathan Craig in the penalty area and the resulting spot`kick was
:19:23. > :19:25.converted by Reuben Reid for a one`all draw. Alan Gow also earned
:19:26. > :19:33.Exeter City a 1`1 draw at Wycombe Wanderers with a late equaliser.
:19:34. > :19:36.Now many of you will have been to a remembrance service earlier this
:19:37. > :19:41.month and next year the day will hold even more significance. It'll
:19:42. > :19:44.be the centenary of the Great War and one woman in Devon is hoping to
:19:45. > :19:48.mark it in an unusual way. Yes, Cathy McAnespie runs a clock shop in
:19:49. > :19:51.Exeter and wants to create the largest online archive of watches,
:19:52. > :19:59.clocks and other timepieces associated with the war. Spotlight's
:20:00. > :20:12.Andrea Ormsby has been to meet her. Time ticks loudly. She is passionate
:20:13. > :20:25.about timepieces. A lot of it is working on older items which are
:20:26. > :20:33.loved by their owners. She runs a watch repair and
:20:34. > :20:42.restoration shop. She has another passion. Remembering those who
:20:43. > :20:47.fought and died in the war. A lot of it stems from the experiences of my
:20:48. > :20:54.grandfather. He was a prisoner of war. It is important to cherish
:20:55. > :21:02.these memories and what they did for us.
:21:03. > :21:21.When she found her grandfather's wartime watch an idea was formed.
:21:22. > :21:26.This is to protect the glass. It is lovely, the fact it is still
:21:27. > :21:39.running. I know what my grandfather went through and many like him. She
:21:40. > :21:47.has set up an online archive for watchers associated with the war. ``
:21:48. > :21:57.for timepieces associated with the war.
:21:58. > :22:04.It was nice linking time with time for remembrance.
:22:05. > :22:13.She hopes people will get in touch to share their stories in the run`up
:22:14. > :22:17.to the centenary next year. Tattoos used to be the preserve of
:22:18. > :22:20.ancient mariners but now they have become the ultimate in body fashion
:22:21. > :22:24.accessories. BBC broadcaster David Dimbleby recently revealed that he'd
:22:25. > :22:27.had one done at the age of 75. Well now a great grandmother from
:22:28. > :22:31.Cornwall has topped that by getting her first tattoo in her 80s. Renee
:22:32. > :22:34.Parker from Saltash is proof that you're only as old as you feel.
:22:35. > :22:50.Spotlight's John Danks has been to meet her.
:22:51. > :23:12.I and 84 and I had my first tattoo in April. A relative had one. I
:23:13. > :23:26.thought it was a good idea. She says she has got to a stage where she
:23:27. > :23:37.does not care what people think. There is not a lot of flesh on your
:23:38. > :23:45.foot. What do the people of Saltash think
:23:46. > :23:54.about it? If she wants one by not. If it makes it happy it is up to
:23:55. > :24:18.her. I would not want that are to add my age. I just sit and look at
:24:19. > :24:28.it. Seize the day. I like the tattoos you can wash
:24:29. > :24:41.off. We have some quiet weather for the
:24:42. > :24:49.next 24 hours. It is a cloudy day. It will not feel as cold as it has
:24:50. > :24:54.felt over the last two days. There are a couple of weather fronts that
:24:55. > :24:59.are keeping things cloudy. Then we have a definite change to writer and
:25:00. > :25:12.easier conditions as we head to Friday. And breezy day on Friday.
:25:13. > :25:18.The risk of a few showers. A lot of cloud as you can see from earlier
:25:19. > :25:24.today. Staying cloudy overnight. This was earlier today. Lovely shots
:25:25. > :25:44.of the Cornish coastline. The quiet conditions continue
:25:45. > :25:52.overnight and through the day tomorrow. We will see some mist
:25:53. > :26:09.forming here and there. Very light winds tonight and tomorrow. Tomorrow
:26:10. > :26:32.will be a cloudy day will stop. For our surfers it has been
:26:33. > :27:18.disappointing this week. Becoming quite windy as we move into
:27:19. > :27:26.Friday. You as the Outlook. Friday a few showers. It is cooler as we head
:27:27. > :27:36.into the weekend. High pressure coming back for the weekend.
:27:37. > :27:41.That debate with the Chief con the and the police commissioner is about
:27:42. > :27:45.to get underway. We will have a live update at ten to 85. `` chief cold
