:00:31. > :00:33.some flooding and Beaumont. Debris washed over the walls from the sea

:00:34. > :00:37.was quickly cleared away. Elsewhere, Les Varines is closed in Jersey due

:00:38. > :00:43.to a fallen tree and Havre des Pas seafront is also closed. Christina

:00:44. > :00:45.Ghidoni reports. Guernsey's already been battered

:00:46. > :00:48.this month. And now there are more flood warnings for the Channel

:00:49. > :00:51.Islands. Guernsey's emergency services and coastguard today met to

:00:52. > :00:54.plan for bad weather this weekend. They're asking people to avoid the

:00:55. > :01:00.west coast, especially around high tide tonight. In Jersey, it's the

:01:01. > :01:03.south coast that risks flooding Anna Trigg's bridal shop at Beaumont

:01:04. > :01:08.has already been flooded this year. It cost her thousands to repair the

:01:09. > :01:15.carpet and dresses. She believes more could be done to prevent the

:01:16. > :01:19.water damage. The drains as shallow, so when the sea water

:01:20. > :01:22.comes, it then rises, so there is nowhere for the seat ago. We would

:01:23. > :01:28.like the road to be closed just for half an hour at high tide. It will

:01:29. > :01:33.stop the trucks, buses, cars that go through too fast, and they create

:01:34. > :01:36.this water, and it was just into the shop. Jersey's Met Office have

:01:37. > :01:39.issued a red weather warning for tomorrow night and Sunday morning `

:01:40. > :01:45.something that usually happens once every six years or so, but it's the

:01:46. > :01:50.second one this month. We are expecting water to come up the

:01:51. > :01:55.slipways, which could result in limited flooding around the coastal

:01:56. > :01:59.areas. I think most people know where the most vulnerable properties

:02:00. > :02:03.are. This is an opportunity to take action if you can. After the warning

:02:04. > :02:06.said preparations that are made it is hoped not too much damage will be

:02:07. > :02:09.caused on the wet and windy weekend ahead. Christina Ghidoni, BBC

:02:25. > :02:26.Guernseywoman who has been missing for the past year. Police are still

:02:27. > :02:40.investigating the disappearance of Gillian Sarahs. Last seen a year

:02:41. > :02:44.ago, her whereabouts are still unknown. People I've heard things on

:02:45. > :02:47.the grapevine that may not necessarily have come to police

:02:48. > :02:50.attention. Anything like that, please speak to us. It may be that

:02:51. > :02:55.piece of information that allows us to begin a line of enquiry that may

:02:56. > :03:01.make process in this case. At home on Victoria Avenue, his family last

:03:02. > :03:05.saw her. They are still too emotional to talk publicly, but

:03:06. > :03:07.wanted to say this. We have been overwhelmed by the community spirit

:03:08. > :03:12.and support the whole island have shown us. We want to thank everyone

:03:13. > :03:16.involved, including those who are tame and's murders dropped

:03:17. > :03:21.everything in the to search for Gillian. We would like to appeal for

:03:22. > :03:25.anyone who configures anything, any trivial information, that may open a

:03:26. > :03:29.new line of enquiry to the police, to come forward. Anyone with

:03:36. > :03:37.Jersey doctor Carl Clinton has been cleared of sexually`motivated

:03:38. > :03:41.conduct towards two women. He was accused of behaving inappropriately

:03:42. > :03:43.when examining the women at a sports injury clinic, and the General

:03:44. > :03:46.Hospital. But the fitness to practice panel in Manchester said

:03:47. > :03:49.the case had shown some findings against his conduct in other

:03:50. > :03:51.matters, and would meet again to decide if any of them amounted to

:03:52. > :03:54.misconduct. People in Alderney have paid their

:03:55. > :03:58.last respects to politician Paul Arditti. This was St Anne's Church

:03:59. > :04:02.earlier for the funeral of the former Alderney States Member, Who

:04:03. > :04:05.died suddenly at the age of 62. Mr Arditti had been the driving force

:04:06. > :04:10.behind calls for Guernsey to invest more in the island's airport.

:04:11. > :04:13.Channel Island shoppers have been charged a third more for basic

:04:14. > :04:16.groceries than people in the United Kingdom. The Channel Islands

:04:17. > :04:22.Competition and Regulatory Authority compared prices in shops across the

:04:23. > :04:28.region with stores in the UK. Jen Smith reports.

:04:29. > :04:34.When you shop for everyday items like fruit, beans and eggs in the

:04:35. > :04:39.Channel Islands, is inserted at the lowest prices in`store, it can still

:04:40. > :04:42.cost you up to ?14 more in the UK according to the competition

:04:43. > :04:46.authority. It allows people to buy a Bose `` basket of groceries for the

:04:47. > :04:50.cheapest price both here in the Channel Islands and the UK. It found

:04:51. > :04:53.at the very budget end, it could be up to 60% cheaper than stop the

:04:54. > :04:58.regulator says this is simply because we do not have a variety of

:04:59. > :05:02.budget stores available then the mainland. Your Mac with it if there

:05:03. > :05:07.is entry or expansion, if it happens at discount end, then there are

:05:08. > :05:12.consumers who will benefit from that. What about comparing

:05:13. > :05:17.supermarkets are available here and in the UK? It is a mixed picture.

:05:18. > :05:23.Waitrose and M were more expensive, up to 4%. Evans as

:05:24. > :05:28.franchises and the co`operative came out cheaper than the mainland

:05:29. > :05:35.counterparts. Iceland was not included in the comparison. I think

:05:36. > :05:38.consumers over all are well served from the value spectrum rights of

:05:39. > :05:44.the premium spectrum with the retailers that are working hard to

:05:45. > :05:47.serve the local population. We asked the supermarket survey to tell us

:05:48. > :05:52.why their food was more expensive. They was due to the higher costs and

:05:53. > :05:57.wages, distribution and property in the islands, and insisted they were

:05:58. > :05:59.competitively priced. The regulator says the islands need a broader

:06:00. > :06:09.range of supermarkets for consumers paying less.

:06:10. > :06:15.Time now for the weather. We have a stormy weekend. We have strong winds

:06:16. > :06:19.through the day coinciding with some exceptionally high tides. The second

:06:20. > :06:24.highest tides of the year, as well as low pressure. There is a risk of

:06:25. > :06:29.coastal flooding. Tomorrow is windy, and it is feeling cold with blustery

:06:30. > :06:32.showers. You may see hail or sleet. Their shells keep going through to

:06:33. > :06:37.the end of the day, with strong winds through the evening. They

:06:38. > :06:42.coincide with some really high tides, so there is a risk of some

:06:43. > :06:45.coastal flooding around the coasts of the islands this weekend. Winds

:06:46. > :06:51.to ease by the time we move into Sunday. What rain we have this

:06:52. > :06:56.evening will fade away as the skies begin to clear. We will start to see

:06:57. > :06:58.some lengthy clear spells, but some sharp showers and overnight

:06:59. > :07:03.temperatures down to as low as four degrees. It is a raw day tomorrow.

:07:04. > :07:06.Cold winds and scattered showers. The wind will increase to the

:07:07. > :07:11.afternoon, reaching gale`force if not severe gale`force, and we may

:07:12. > :07:17.see eight degrees but it will feel colder. It is a little bit, on

:07:18. > :07:21.Sunday. A mainly dry day. Might be a cold start on Sunday morning. Monday

:07:22. > :07:26.it will change again as the wind and rain returns. Do take care in that

:07:27. > :07:28.bad weather. Stay tuned to your local BBC Radio.

:07:29. > :07:46.We are back on Monday. Good evening. Today's heavy and

:07:47. > :07:53.persistent rain is disappearing over the horizon. Sadly, the other

:07:54. > :07:54.problems are not. Problems to come tonight include snow
