confiscated and destroyed, well, that must be galling. Will Gompertz,

:00:00.3:59:59

Good evening. BBC

:00:00.:00:15.

Good evening. Home owners and businesses around

:00:16.:00:18.

the Channel Islands are counting the cost of very high tides and strong

:00:19.:00:22.

winds over the weekend. We saw flooding, rock falls and road

:00:23.:00:26.

closures around the islands. In Jersey, a policewoman is recovering

:00:27.:00:29.

after being swept away by one wave. We'll see more from Jersey in a

:00:30.:00:32.

moment, but first Mike Wilkins sent this report from Guernsey.

:00:33.:00:38.

APD being rescued from her family's flooded house. Her hero, her dad. ``

:00:39.:00:46.

a baby being rescued. It is only 11 months since the trees were blown

:00:47.:00:53.

down in the snow, so it will be an interesting chat with the insurers.

:00:54.:00:57.

Soon after, the baby's mother was rescued by the fire and rescue

:00:58.:01:03.

service. These shops were not spared, with sandbags about all the

:01:04.:01:09.

shopkeepers could offer as defence. There is very little we could do.

:01:10.:01:14.

These conditions leads to a high tide, and obviously, we can put

:01:15.:01:21.

sandbags out, but there is little we can do to stop the tide rising. But

:01:22.:01:27.

for those wanting to get to the shops and to work, the journey was

:01:28.:01:34.

painfully slow. The traffic behind me is very slow moving, and in some

:01:35.:01:38.

places, it is at gridlock, and it has taken people I was to get to

:01:39.:01:45.

work. For most of the day, one of the main roads on the island was out

:01:46.:01:51.

of action. Seasonal blips these may be, but for businesses and families,

:01:52.:01:53.

they all come at a cost. Oh, my God! Oh, my goodness me. The

:01:54.:02:12.

true effects of nature's force. This is about 500 tonnes of rock

:02:13.:02:19.

falling. The rock fall closed a beach yesterday and is likely to put

:02:20.:02:23.

the area out of bounds for the next few days. We are a little bit

:02:24.:02:28.

suspicious that perhaps other events are unsafe, so until we get an

:02:29.:02:32.

assessment, would close off the beach so that they can come down and

:02:33.:02:36.

inspect, take action and make the whole area safe again. This

:02:37.:02:40.

weekend, storms did not stop the rush over this morning. Rough seas

:02:41.:02:48.

brought traffic to a standstill on the coast. It follows a weekend of

:02:49.:02:53.

disruption. This was Beaumont on Saturday night, where volunteers

:02:54.:02:58.

helped after flooding closed the road. This video is showing a

:02:59.:03:02.

policewoman getting knocked off her feet, and it has had more than

:03:03.:03:10.

125,000 views online. Luckily, she is OK. It was scary. I just thought

:03:11.:03:15.

about protecting my head. As was not until I hit the wall but I knew I

:03:16.:03:19.

was going, so I knew where I was, because I was under water, and I

:03:20.:03:24.

used my feet and my hands against the wall, and the left side of my

:03:25.:03:32.

body. The last few days have seen damage, including a shipping

:03:33.:03:38.

container washed up on the shores. This is such a freak weather. We

:03:39.:03:44.

advise people to keep away from the sea wall when the water is at the

:03:45.:03:49.

top, because waves can sometimes buy up at 35 feet in the air and there

:03:50.:03:52.

is no way we can protect against that. `` fly out. Business owners

:03:53.:03:57.

will now count the cost of the weather. The tides are expected to

:03:58.:04:03.

drop, but stormy conditions are set to continue.

:04:04.:04:08.

New parents in Jersey have been learning basic first aid skills so

:04:09.:04:12.

they know what to do when their baby is choking or bleeding. However

:04:13.:04:15.

it's not a service provided by the health service. They've had to pay

:04:16.:04:24.

for these life`saving skills. Hand and for head. One finger on the

:04:25.:04:30.

chin to get, look down the body Knowing what to do if your baby is

:04:31.:04:33.

unconscious, a heart`stopping moment for any parent. That's why these

:04:34.:04:37.

mums and dads in Jersey have taken it upon themselves to learn first

:04:38.:04:41.

aid, a course they've paid to do themselves. I am expecting my second

:04:42.:04:46.

child in a few weeks and I want to make sure I can do everything I can

:04:47.:04:53.

to save them if need be. It is me having a way that she choked or if

:04:54.:04:57.

anything happens to her and she wasn't breathing I would not have

:04:58.:05:03.

any idea what to do. Your children are the most important thing in your

:05:04.:05:08.

life, once you have had children, and if something happened to them,

:05:09.:05:12.

you would want to be able to help. It's the second time St John

:05:13.:05:15.

Ambulance have carried out this three hour course on a Sunday,

:05:16.:05:18.

teaching vital skills in resuscitation, choking,

:05:19.:05:23.

unconsciousness and bleeding. The most common incidents are things not

:05:24.:05:26.

necessarily that could be prevented because these things happen to

:05:27.:05:29.

everyone but things that people that could help save a life if they got

:05:30.:05:33.

there quicker and earlier and most things with children and infants,

:05:34.:05:35.

it's about getting the treatment quickly and a trip to hospital

:05:36.:05:40.

sometimes can take too long. Not only do these skills help save a

:05:41.:05:44.

life but it also enables parents to know if hospital treatment is

:05:45.:05:51.

needed. It is not in the UK that about 40% of amulets and journeys

:05:52.:05:54.

are not necessary and can be managed at home. `` ambulance. There must be

:05:55.:06:01.

a proportion that could be managed at home, therefore saving a trip to

:06:02.:06:03.

the accident and emergency department. I think some of the

:06:04.:06:07.

cases that we see could be managed at home. First aid is not taught to

:06:08.:06:12.

those expecting through the hospitals antenatal programme,

:06:13.:06:14.

therefore it's up to parents if they want to know what to do in those

:06:15.:06:19.

crucial moments every parent dreads. That's it from me. David Braine has

:06:20.:06:24.

the Channel Islands weather next and the national forecast follows him.

:06:25.:06:29.

Goodnight. Good evening. The low`pressure air, the high tide and

:06:30.:06:34.

the very strong winds this weekend I'll stop it is a little bit quieter

:06:35.:06:42.

later on tonight, but more wind and rain later on in the day tomorrow. A

:06:43.:06:46.

brighter start for sure, that it goes downhill after dark.

:06:47.:06:54.

Isolated showers in the early hours of the morning, and getting quite

:06:55.:06:59.

cold as well, with temperatures down to just four or five degrees. We

:07:00.:07:03.

will expect the showers to come and go through the morning. Generally

:07:04.:07:08.

climbing over towards the end of the day come and the wind will be

:07:09.:07:13.

steadily increasing due out. A top temperature of around eight degrees.

:07:14.:07:20.

It stays very unsettled for the rest of this week. The best it will

:07:21.:07:24.

probably be Wednesday, but certainly on the of rain around on Thursday on

:07:25.:07:29.

the and `` on Thursday, and Wendy. Good evening. As you have just heard

:07:30.:07:40.

on your local forecast there is more wind and rain to come. The story is

:07:41.:07:45.

dominated by two potent areas of low pressure. There are parts of the

:07:46.:07:48.

world that need the rain at the moment, let me take you to

:07:49.:07:53.

California. That has arrived in the form of patchy rain over the past 24

:07:54.:07:57.

hours or so. The reason I take you here is the cloud responsible for

:07:58.:08:03.

it, well that will develop into Saturday's storm system. That same

:08:04.:08:07.

jet stream is picking up this area of cloud at the moment, developing

:08:08.:08:12.

into a deepening area of low pressure in the Atlantic and that

:08:13.:08:16.

will bring wet and windy weather for Wednesday.

:08:17.:08:21.

This rain has been spread in from the west during the day. It will

:08:22.:08:30.

continue as an erratic band of rain and hill snow.
