:00:00. > 3:59:59into Friday morning and enhance the risk of flooding. That is all from
:00:00. > :00:47.us, Both face of government, lending
:00:48. > :00:53.their support to industry, and helping to promote the message. And
:00:54. > :00:58.we have some severe weather around tonight. The wind is whipping up the
:00:59. > :00:59.seas, there is high risk of coastal flooding. And I will have all the
:01:00. > :01:07.details later in the programme. Jersey's tourism industry needs more
:01:08. > :01:09.Government representation That's the feelings of a
:01:10. > :01:12.local travel company. They believe more promotion is
:01:13. > :01:15.given to the finance sector than their own just days after the
:01:16. > :01:18.island's Treasury Minister returned What can you find? Places to
:01:19. > :01:34.unwind, places to explore. A fresh advert for 2014 showing
:01:35. > :01:37.the island in all its glory. But it's in the cold months,
:01:38. > :01:40.like today when the beaches are empty, that news of another visit
:01:41. > :01:44.by a Jersey minister to a finance event in London doesn't go down well
:01:45. > :01:46.with local travel companies. Robert wants the tourism industry
:01:47. > :01:49.to receive the same government representation he says the finance
:01:50. > :02:13.industry is getting Channel Islands Day`to`day management is down to
:02:14. > :02:16.ourselves and other partners in the industry. What I am talking about is
:02:17. > :02:18.the visible face of government coming along to exhibitions and
:02:19. > :02:22.trade shows. Lending their support to the industry and that reinforces
:02:23. > :02:33.the messages we are trying to put across. Finance does get a lot of
:02:34. > :02:38.impact and promotion, quite rightly so. Finance and tourism sections are
:02:39. > :02:43.interlinked. One cannot survive without the other. The hospitality
:02:44. > :02:47.sector needs a stronger voice. They need to ask for help. We will attend
:02:48. > :02:50.conferences, we will support them in any way we possibly can, we need
:02:51. > :02:56.directions from where they need help.
:02:57. > :02:59.So is the island being sold well enough to those in the UK?
:03:00. > :03:02.We asked people in Hull today if they'd ever consider
:03:03. > :03:11.Never been there personally. Probably, if I ever got the
:03:12. > :03:21.opportunity. Not too fast. I would! So, mixed reaction in
:03:22. > :03:22.visiting our shoreline. But in a better light there are
:03:23. > :03:25.suggestions UK tourism is up by nearly 4%, and hopefully Jersey
:03:26. > :03:32.can ride off the back of that wave. Meanwhile, A London university is
:03:33. > :03:35.arranging a trip to Jersey for the first time, so its students
:03:36. > :03:37.can learn about tourism. 35 people studying
:03:38. > :03:40.Tourism Management at Greenwich University Business School
:03:41. > :03:42.will visit the island in March. I spoke to their lecturer,
:03:43. > :03:44.James Kennell, earlier, from our London newsroom, and I asked him
:03:45. > :03:52.what the benefit of this visit was. We are bringing 35 students across
:03:53. > :03:57.from Jersey for four days, to try and find out the different things
:03:58. > :04:02.that are going on for the tourism, there are things like food tourism,
:04:03. > :04:06.heritage tourism, sports tourism. Jersey has got rich heritage as a
:04:07. > :04:10.tourism destination, but it has developed all these different kinds
:04:11. > :04:17.of products. It is fascinating for the students to see how it all holds
:04:18. > :04:23.together. How important is tourism for somewhere like Jersey? Tourism
:04:24. > :04:28.is vital for the economy. Tourism makes a massive contribution in
:04:29. > :04:32.terms of creating jobs, bringing landing to use previously used by
:04:33. > :04:36.agriculture. Importantly, bringing the identity of the islands
:04:37. > :04:41.together, bringing parts of the islands together, bringing a story
:04:42. > :04:45.to tell to the outside world. What can governments do to promote
:04:46. > :04:49.tourism? What examples have you been teaching? It is really important on
:04:50. > :04:54.a small islands that government takes quite an active role in
:04:55. > :04:58.promoting tourism. If you look at the countries that have succeeded
:04:59. > :05:01.the most in attracting tourism, are the ones where governments have got
:05:02. > :05:05.involved in tax breaks, training, marketing and things like that.
:05:06. > :05:06.what the benefit of this visit was. More flooding and storm force winds
:05:07. > :05:15.are expected for the Channel Islands tonight, with gusts of up to 70
:05:16. > :05:18.miles an hour predicted. Jersey's Met Office
:05:19. > :05:20.has issued its highest level storm warning and is advising people to
:05:21. > :05:23.stay indoors where possible. Tonight Condor have announced it's
:05:24. > :05:25.passenger and freight services are cancelled tomorrow, Aurigny have
:05:26. > :05:28.suspended flights to and from Alderney because of gales and the
:05:29. > :05:30.storm gate at Jersey's Elizabeth Marina has been raised because
:05:31. > :05:41.of high tides and strong winds. This Sewall looked very different
:05:42. > :05:46.yesterday, this was swamped by a wave that crashed over the roof of
:05:47. > :05:54.their shared. This wave came in my direction, straight through the open
:05:55. > :05:59.door, the open window. And across the little sitting`room, where we
:06:00. > :06:04.are now, which is in the lower part of the house.
:06:05. > :06:09.In Guernsey, the busy east coast roads were open again today
:06:10. > :06:11.after yesterday's flooding but parts of the west coast are still
:06:12. > :06:19.impassable. Depending on what happens with
:06:20. > :06:21.tomorrow morning tide, this is a new flood warning out for tomorrow, we
:06:22. > :06:26.could be out to square one. impassable.
:06:27. > :06:29.And the problems aren't just on land ` Condor has cancelled sailings of
:06:30. > :06:31.the Commodore Clipper and Goodwill freight and passenger ferries
:06:32. > :06:34.because of predictions of waves over eight metres, and winds of over
:06:35. > :06:41.fifty knots. And there could be more bad weather to come:
:06:42. > :06:50.Looking at the forecast over the next ten days, we are still seeing a
:06:51. > :07:03.similar pattern, with further lows and more windy weather. I think that
:07:04. > :07:06.is going to persist into next week. Islanders are being advised to stay
:07:07. > :07:07.indoors tonight, those honourable to flooding will hope the authorities
:07:08. > :07:15.have done enough. A new five year agreement has been
:07:16. > :07:19.signed between Jersey's Government and Condor Ferries.The States had
:07:20. > :07:21.intended to tender for the service along with Guernsey but
:07:22. > :07:24.is now allowing Condor to continue to provide ferry and freight
:07:25. > :07:29.services to the Channel Islands Better training
:07:30. > :07:32.and education could improve mental health services in the island
:07:33. > :07:33.according to Mind, Jersey. The charity has been giving
:07:34. > :07:38.evidence to the Health, Social Security and Housing scrutiny panel.
:07:39. > :07:41.It would like to see greater support for parents of children
:07:42. > :07:49.with mental health issues, and more focus on early intervention.
:07:50. > :07:54.I think there is always more that can be done, and they always do
:07:55. > :07:57.their best they can. We need to get to people sooner rather than later,
:07:58. > :08:01.work with them early on, and hopefully they can move on.

:08:28. > :08:30.The island's stud farm collects semen from young bulls to help
:08:31. > :08:33.protect the dwindling stock of the Guernsey breed.
:08:34. > :08:36.In order to preserve the product, they use liquid nitrogen
:08:37. > :08:38.and now their existing machine is well past its use by date,
:08:39. > :08:52.Here we go, the pride of Guernsey, one of the best pedigree bulls there
:08:53. > :08:58.is at the start farm. And just over here we have got the State
:08:59. > :09:04.agricultural advisor. Just some how important these balls actually are?
:09:05. > :09:10.They are essential for development in Guernsey. It is becoming a rare
:09:11. > :09:16.breed, not quite that, but in endangered breed worldwide. What
:09:17. > :09:22.happens? When the balls are 15 months of age, there seem and is
:09:23. > :09:26.carried from them and stored in liquid nitrogen, and can be stored
:09:27. > :09:32.for many years almost indefinitely. That is until it is required. Can we
:09:33. > :09:47.have a look at the liquid nitrogen plant? Absolutely. Through here
:09:48. > :09:54.This is the existing plant, made in 1970, so it is over 40 years old,
:09:55. > :09:58.and this produces all of the liquid nitrogen that we have needed in the
:09:59. > :10:04.past. But, of course, the problem now is that it is obsolete, we can't
:10:05. > :10:07.get the parts for it and servicing is extremely expensive. I think a
:10:08. > :10:13.lot of people will be extremely surprised to hear that liquid
:10:14. > :10:20.nitrogen is being made here. Why is that? Because it is so expensive to
:10:21. > :10:24.import, it is a dangerous commodity. It is very expensive to ship into
:10:25. > :10:29.the island, very small quantities, we are only using a few litres at a
:10:30. > :10:35.time. We needed constantly for the service, but there is a need for the
:10:36. > :10:40.island for medical use, so we are supplying that as well at the
:10:41. > :10:49.present time. Thank you very much. The liquid nitrogen is made here and
:10:50. > :10:54.it feels an array of services. Time to return to the weather. We are all
:10:55. > :10:59.battening down the hatches for more storm force winds and tides, tell us
:11:00. > :11:03.what it is going to be like? That is pretty good advice. The advice we
:11:04. > :11:12.heard from quite a few people is to batten down the hatches and stay
:11:13. > :11:18.inside if you don't need to go out. I don't think ferries should be
:11:19. > :11:24.operating in the kind of weather we have got. Very high waves, 20 feet
:11:25. > :11:29.tall, all whipped up by the strength of win. It will be a problem for
:11:30. > :11:33.much of the day tomorrow. Severe gale force winds, showers and
:11:34. > :11:39.generally feeling cold because of the showers. The strength of wind
:11:40. > :11:41.picking this evening overnight, but returning to dawn, 60 mph gusts
:11:42. > :11:44.that is the meeting we returning to dawn, 60 mph gusts
:11:45. > :11:48.that is the meeting we have got the highest warning. You can find more
:11:49. > :11:53.about those warnings, or you can stay tuned to the radio for further
:11:54. > :11:57.updates if it is causing problems first thing tomorrow morning. This
:11:58. > :12:02.is the culprit, a really deep area of low pressure. It moves away from
:12:03. > :12:07.us later tonight, but I noticed there is a squeeze in the isobars in
:12:08. > :12:12.the English Channel. After that the wind eases, but they will be more to
:12:13. > :12:16.come as a low pressure area comes from the south. The rain will clear
:12:17. > :12:21.later on tonight, it will then be replaced by showers, but of some
:12:22. > :12:25.those will be quite angry later on in to tonight. For much of the day
:12:26. > :12:29.tomorrow, quite cloudy tomorrow with quite frequent showers, perhaps
:12:30. > :12:33.brighter weather tomorrow, but we keep the showers coming through to
:12:34. > :12:36.the end of the day. Nine degrees will be the top temperature but will
:12:37. > :12:43.feel a lot colder than that because of the strength of wind. Even after
:12:44. > :12:51.that, we have wind gusting at 6 mph, possibly. There is the coastal
:12:52. > :12:55.forecast. Showers, mainly with good visibility, but possibly storm Force
:12:56. > :13:04.ten tonight. If you are heading to the beach, ten feet high waves.
:13:05. > :14:02.There will be updates throughout the evening about that weather.
:14:03. > :14:04.helpline, which in some areas has led to more pressure on Ambulance
:14:05. > :14:07.Services. Our Health Correspondent, Sally Mountjoy, reports.
:14:08. > :14:10.Red`1 calls are the most serious ambulance call`outs, for heart
:14:11. > :14:17.attacks and other life`threatening emergencies. National targets
:14:18. > :14:21.dictate 75% of these calls should be attended within eight minutes.
:14:22. > :14:24.However, figures we have seen show the Southwest Ambulance Services
:14:25. > :14:36.have been falling short in Cornwall and Somerset. The service says only
:14:37. > :14:39.a small number of calls are in the Red`1 category and they are working
:14:40. > :14:41.hard to improve response times, including training up more local
:14:42. > :14:44.community responders. Hello, NHS 111, Liam speaking.
:14:45. > :14:47.Today has seen the launch in Cornwall of NHS 111, the helpline
:14:48. > :14:59.number for those needing emergency medical help. `` urgent but not
:15:00. > :15:01.emergency medical help. In some areas, the switch`on has led to a
:15:02. > :15:05.significant increase of ambulance call`outs. The service says because
:15:06. > :15:09.it is operating both 999 and 111 services for their county, the new
:15:10. > :15:11.service should ease pressure on blue light vehicles.
:15:12. > :15:15.What we're hoping for the public is when they get the launch of 111,
:15:16. > :15:18.there is an alternative to 999. This should reduce the numbers calling
:15:19. > :15:22.the 999 service. So it will make it easier in the
:15:23. > :15:24.long term to meet those Red`1 targets?
:15:25. > :15:27.Yes, our demand will come down and we can release our resources to the
:15:28. > :15:33.high priority patients that we need to.
:15:34. > :15:36.The 111 service was delayed last April because of concerns it would
:15:37. > :15:40.put extra strain on already hard`pressed emergency services. NHS
:15:41. > :15:46.commissioners will be keeping a close eye on its impact.
:15:47. > :15:49.We will be watching all the calls to 999 and the amount of people
:15:50. > :15:52.referred to the emergency department. We will be monitoring
:15:53. > :16:02.and taking effect on the results of the 111 service.
:16:03. > :16:05.The South Western Ambulance Service already operates a 111 line for
:16:06. > :16:08.Dorset, Somerset and Devon. Initially, there were some delays in
:16:09. > :16:12.answering calls, especially at peak times. Today though, for all three
:16:13. > :16:20.counties, more than 95% of calls are answered within a minute. There is
:16:21. > :16:23.hope that Cornwall will benefit from being one of the last areas
:16:24. > :16:27.nationwide to launch the helpline. And it really can relieve pressure
:16:28. > :16:42.on the health service rather than add to it.
:16:43. > :16:45.A mother and her son are campaigning for better services for people
:16:46. > :16:48.affected by eating disorders. It follows figures that reveal the
:16:49. > :16:51.South West has the highest rates for conditions such as anorexia and
:16:52. > :16:58.bulimia in the country. Jenny Kumah reports.
:16:59. > :17:00.This boy is a recovering anorexic but five years ago he ended up in
:17:01. > :17:11.hospital. I got to the point where I was `` my
:17:12. > :17:18.body was yellow. My heart started to have a shrinkage because my body had
:17:19. > :17:23.no fat so it was eating the muscles and started with my heart.
:17:24. > :17:27.His mother felt she didn't have the skills to care for him when he was
:17:28. > :17:35.discharged. She has been campaigning or better support services. ,
:17:36. > :17:44.it was just a few years ago now and we thank that services for younger
:17:45. > :17:49.men with eating disorders are very rarely heard. So hopefully we set
:17:50. > :17:52.the mark with other young men around the country.
:17:53. > :17:55.The latest figures show there have been more than 400 hospital
:17:56. > :18:11.admissions in the region. More people are now aware of eating
:18:12. > :18:16.disorders so might be coming forward for help and that is a good thing.
:18:17. > :18:19.But if they need to be in hospital, maybe they have been waiting too
:18:20. > :18:25.long to get the treatment should have getting sooner.
:18:26. > :18:32.The NHS says provide help across the region including a specialist
:18:33. > :18:36.inpatient unit in Exeter. But conditions like anorexia and bulimia
:18:37. > :18:48.are complicated and people can find it hard to ask for help.
:18:49. > :18:51.Now, have you ever wondered how the stunning aerial shots are achieved
:18:52. > :18:52.on television programmes such as Top Gear, wildlife documentaries or
:18:53. > :18:55.movies? Well, increasingly, they are filmed
:18:56. > :18:57.by a camera on board a remote`controlled helicopter and two
:18:58. > :19:01.Plymouth`based pioneers of the art are about to be honoured for their
:19:02. > :19:04.work. Phil George and Gifford Hooper are to receive an Academy Award in
:19:05. > :19:06.Los Angeles. They've created a mini`helicopter which gets into
:19:07. > :19:14.places that life`size helicopters pilots can only dream of and Phil
:19:15. > :19:19.and Gifford are with us now. How did this helicopter get developed?
:19:20. > :19:30.It was just a hobby, putting cameras on model aeroplanes. It progressed
:19:31. > :19:34.to helicopters which are more dynamic and can move in more
:19:35. > :19:49.distances. Originally the camera was just fixed so it was just the point
:19:50. > :19:56.of view of the pilot. But then we had a moving camera, so one person
:19:57. > :20:00.operating the helicopter and one person operating the camera.
:20:01. > :20:07.We have got one of them in the studio. How has it evolved?
:20:08. > :20:14.It is the same principle. You have got a gyro and a camera on the
:20:15. > :20:20.front. You got the engine pack on the back. It flies just like a
:20:21. > :20:28.helicopter but is more agile. What sort of programmes and films
:20:29. > :20:34.have you worked on? Originally it was used on the
:20:35. > :20:42.Strangeways prison riots and went live.
:20:43. > :20:48.How nerve`wracking? It was. It had a big Cas camera in
:20:49. > :20:52.the front. That is how it all started.
:20:53. > :20:58.This award you are about to receive, it is the technical equivalent of an
:20:59. > :21:01.Oscar. That's incredible. Yes for the people
:21:02. > :21:05.behind`the`scenes. I think they gave it to us because we're older and we
:21:06. > :21:12.been doing it for so long. You must be chuffed.
:21:13. > :21:22.It has been a hard slog. These aerial shots are becoming more
:21:23. > :21:31.prevalent in films but what problems do you face in taking them?
:21:32. > :21:35.Assuming you have got good weather and daylight, and the director
:21:36. > :21:40.almost all was once good light, so that is not a major issue, the main
:21:41. > :21:45.thing is not to fly its too far away because it won't come back away.
:21:46. > :21:50.What sort of range has it? If it is in manual mode, 200 metres.
:21:51. > :21:56.But it does have autopilot features so it can go all 400 metres then
:21:57. > :22:03.come back and land. You are really pleased to be talking
:22:04. > :22:09.about helicopters, it you? I could talk about it all day!
:22:10. > :22:15.I keep coming in. Congratulations to them. Back to our
:22:16. > :22:20.main news tonight and lots of reports coming in about major
:22:21. > :22:29.disruption across the region because of the weather.
:22:30. > :22:33.It is horrendous out there. Really bad across Cornwall. Lots of trees
:22:34. > :22:37.and power cables down, too many to tell you about. The police have
:22:38. > :22:48.tweeted that part of the roof has come of a hotel in Newquay. More
:22:49. > :22:55.than 400 homes without power in Penzance and many other places are
:22:56. > :23:00.reporting losses of power. We have had gusts of 90 mph across the Isles
:23:01. > :23:05.of Scilly and 82 mph across Cornwall. We are expecting the
:23:06. > :23:13.warning to be upgraded to a severe weather warning. Do is stay
:23:14. > :23:17.up`to`date by logging onto the BBC website and BBC Radio Kent and what
:23:18. > :23:22.will be near from 7pm with all the latest.
:23:23. > :23:33.Are we in the worst of it at the moment or is there more to come?
:23:34. > :23:38.It is just about Peking. That core strength of the wind is now moving
:23:39. > :23:43.into parts of Devon but the winds are dropping gradually. We are still
:23:44. > :23:46.talking damaging gusts of wind is occasionally up to 80 miles per
:23:47. > :23:53.hour. We can even hear it on the roof of
:23:54. > :23:58.the studio. We don't normally see it rumbling from here so that indicates
:23:59. > :24:09.how bad it is. The rain band is moving quite fast
:24:10. > :24:14.but it will pick up again in the morning.
:24:15. > :24:19.How is it looking for the next few days?
:24:20. > :24:27.Not particularly good. The rain band is moving quite fast so that is
:24:28. > :24:31.perhaps some good news but severe gale force winds tonight, heavy rain
:24:32. > :24:41.and the risk of flooding. There are flood warnings and, as Janine has
:24:42. > :24:48.just highlighted, a flood warning to be issued for tomorrow morning. The
:24:49. > :24:58.wind is coming race across the south`west, 60`80 mph gusts. This is
:24:59. > :25:09.the culprit, this great swirl of cloud. This area of low pressure
:25:10. > :25:15.will move a bit more towards us then gradually move northwards. Towards
:25:16. > :25:26.the end of the day tomorrow and winds will gradually drop. As we
:25:27. > :25:29.move into Thursday, the winds drop. This new area of low pressure has an
:25:30. > :25:38.uncertain track on it. There could be lots of wet weather associated
:25:39. > :25:42.with that. This swirl of cloud and the wind and rain is to the South
:25:43. > :25:49.West of Ireland tonight. The main band of rain travels far northwards
:25:50. > :25:57.but what replaces that are all these blustery showers. Here is that band
:25:58. > :26:05.of rain, moving quite swiftly overnight. Every now and then, when
:26:06. > :26:12.one of those showers turns up, the wind picks up again. It will be a
:26:13. > :26:20.cold and windy start to the day tomorrow morning. Tomorrow, the
:26:21. > :26:24.showers are quite frequent. Perhaps a bit more isolated in the
:26:25. > :26:40.afternoon. Each time one of the showers arrives it adds to already
:26:41. > :26:44.saturated land. Stormy conditions across the Isles of Scilly that we
:26:45. > :26:47.saw today won't be repeated tomorrow but there will still be gale force
:26:48. > :27:02.winds and showers. There is the potential for a severe
:27:03. > :27:10.flood warning to be issued tomorrow. You can go to the Environment
:27:11. > :27:19.Agency's website or call their phone number. And stay tuned to BBC Radio
:27:20. > :27:24.Kent and will and BBC Radio Devon and Dorset to find more information.
:27:25. > :27:31.Look at some of those waves tomorrow. Dangerous conditions. Be
