:00:00. > 3:59:59California at the of 85. That is all from us. There is a

:00:00. > :00:13.Good evening. Parts of Jersey's first look

:00:14. > :00:18.Good evening. Parts of Jersey's coast may still be unsafe after last

:00:19. > :00:21.week's storms. A large rock fall at St Catherine's brought down tonnes

:00:22. > :00:27.of earth yesterday, closing the footpath nearby. `` St Catherine.

:00:28. > :00:30.And Plemont beach remains closed after a massive landslide. Emma

:00:31. > :00:38.Chambers reports on the ever`growing list of weather casualties. They

:00:39. > :00:41.were built to defend Jersey against English troops during World War II.

:00:42. > :00:45.But now it seems these German fortifications are losing the battle

:00:46. > :00:49.against nature. Repair work is under way here at the Royal Jersey golf

:00:50. > :00:52.course after high tides and strong winds caused 20ft deep sinkholes

:00:53. > :00:55.along the edge of the course. And with no proper sea defence structure

:00:56. > :01:05.in place, only an anti`tank fortification wall, there is also

:01:06. > :01:11.damage to one of the bunkers. The storm and strength of the waves got

:01:12. > :01:24.underneath the low foundations of this war, and as the Sea withdrew,

:01:25. > :01:26.it sucks out the earth `` wall. Had it been purpose`built, the

:01:27. > :01:33.foundations would have been deeper and it would not have occurred. It's

:01:34. > :01:36.not just damage being caused. Vast amounts of rubbish and waste have

:01:37. > :01:39.been washed up along the island s beaches. A big beach clear`up is

:01:40. > :01:44.taking place at L'Etacq this weekend. The beaches have been worst

:01:45. > :01:49.hit in the last couple of weeks with an excessive amount of rubbish. It

:01:50. > :01:58.is important we clear up the beaches. Marine life can be badly

:01:59. > :02:02.hurt by this rubbish. Back on the green, the first hole will remain

:02:03. > :02:05.closed for the next weeks while repairs are completed. TTS have told

:02:06. > :02:09.the club that they will continue to streghten the sea wall along the

:02:10. > :02:17.east coast, a popular place not just for golfers, but for walkers, too.

:02:18. > :02:23.The government minister tasked with clearing Garp have this message

:02:24. > :02:29.There have been three or four substantial rock falls and we ask

:02:30. > :02:34.people to take care. We aren't you for another storm. `` clearing up.

:02:35. > :02:43.We have coastal engineers and teams on stand`by. We are prepared for

:02:44. > :02:46.anything. Condor Ferries' direct services to St Malo from Guernsey

:02:47. > :02:50.and Jersey are now cancelled into next week, because of the ongoing

:02:51. > :02:53.strike by French crew. Talks to resolve the dispute have continued

:02:54. > :02:55.today on board the Condor Rapide in St Malo. Workers want their

:02:56. > :03:01.contracts changed from Guernsey terms to French ones. But Guernsey

:03:02. > :03:04.States is not getting involved. The relationship is between the

:03:05. > :03:10.employer, Condor, and staff. I believe they have a staff

:03:11. > :03:13.Association. Although it does not have a union, there are mechanisms

:03:14. > :03:22.for staff to raise an issue with the management. We would applauded

:03:23. > :03:29.encourage them to go through that process. A controversial website run

:03:30. > :03:32.by a former Jersey government minister has been suspended by the

:03:33. > :03:35.internet search giant Google. Stuart Syvret has posted comments about a

:03:36. > :03:39.number of issues, including child abuse, on his blog site for a number

:03:40. > :03:42.of years. But Google says Mr Syvret's website violates its terms

:03:43. > :03:45.of service. The former health minister was jailed for three months

:03:46. > :03:48.last year for failing to turn up in court after being asked to take down

:03:49. > :03:52.online allegations about four islanders.

:03:53. > :03:59.Nurses in Guernsey have accepted a pay increase roughly in line with

:04:00. > :04:03.local inflation. Nurses will get 2.1%, backdated to April 2013, and

:04:04. > :04:07.2% over the coming year. Weekend trips to the bring`banks in Guernsey

:04:08. > :04:11.will be a thing of the past from next month, as most recyclable items

:04:12. > :04:14.will be picked up from the doorstep instead. And it will be a free

:04:15. > :04:17.service for the first couple of years, at least.

:04:18. > :04:20.Recycling ` it's coming to your doorstep next month and the Public

:04:21. > :04:30.Services department want to make sure you're prepared. Islanders are

:04:31. > :04:35.sent leaflets on the introduction of kerb`side recycling as well as match

:04:36. > :04:38.is offering 20% off storage containers like these, which can be

:04:39. > :04:47.used to separate recyclables at home. The idea is that, thinking

:04:48. > :04:52.ahead, to the scheme, people will want to organise recycling in their

:04:53. > :04:59.home. The idea is to make it easier. So they mail well be to purchase

:05:00. > :05:03.containers to store the recycling. Kerb`side recycling is being rolled

:05:04. > :05:06.out across the island as part of a two`year pilot scheme, with the hope

:05:07. > :05:08.of combating the age`old problem of waste disposal. Paper, food tins,

:05:09. > :05:12.plastic packaging and everything else you might take to a bring`bank,

:05:13. > :05:22.aside from glass, will be collected from your door. They need paper and

:05:23. > :05:26.cardboard and then plastic, tins and cans and milk cartons. They need to

:05:27. > :05:29.sort it into two streams ready to put in the bags the collection.

:05:30. > :05:33.Nearly half of all islanders currently recycle, but at the end of

:05:34. > :05:36.last year, the States failed to meet its recycling target of 50%. But

:05:37. > :05:39.with the introduction of kerb`side recycling, it is hoped that by 025,

:05:40. > :05:50.70% of household waste produced in the island will be recycled.

:05:51. > :05:54.Jersey's government is being asked not to sell an historic building in

:05:55. > :05:57.the Royal Square. Piquet House is a former military police station and

:05:58. > :06:00.has been owned by the States for centuries. The building is now under

:06:01. > :06:06.offer, but Deputy John Young wants the government to keep it and

:06:07. > :06:09.convert it community use. In talking to people it is clear there are

:06:10. > :06:15.community organisations that would be keen on using it and in fact the

:06:16. > :06:20.States itself, there are voluntary groups who said they would be

:06:21. > :06:24.interested. I propose that the Treasury Ministry has 12 months to

:06:25. > :06:29.check them out, see if he can come up with a leasing plan and hippy

:06:30. > :06:38.camp, that is the way to go. I am back at `` if he can, that is the

:06:39. > :06:42.way to go. Now the weather. Another windy day tomorrow and a day with

:06:43. > :06:49.heavy rain in the forecast. It does not want to let up, it seems. Wind

:06:50. > :06:54.up to 60 mph tomorrow and more rain. The forecast tonight is the

:06:55. > :06:59.showers. Haps becoming largely dry, but there is a chance of a passing

:07:00. > :07:06.shower, and it will be quite a cold night. Briefly dry weather in the

:07:07. > :07:11.morning, but after lunch, this line of angry looking rain will come

:07:12. > :07:16.through, as much as 20 millimetres. When that has gone, it will be

:07:17. > :07:20.replaced by showers, and it will be windy throughout. Blustery on

:07:21. > :07:26.Thursday. We will see showers. Friday, more wet weather from the

:07:27. > :07:28.south. Also blustery showers on Saturday. A little bit quieter next

:07:29. > :07:31.week. In the second we forecast. From us, good night. ``

:07:32. > :07:34.full national forecast. That is when the wind is going to

:07:35. > :07:42.pick up. Thursday looks like a quieter day.

:07:43. > :07:47.Good evening, a roller-coaster ride of weather continues across the

:07:48. > :07:52.British Isles. We want to get off, but unfortunately we have got more

:07:53. > :07:58.white knuckle rides to come. This area of low pressure is bringing wet

:07:59. > :08:02.and extremely windy weather. It happens again on Friday with another

:08:03. > :08:07.deep low moving in from the south-west. That means that

:08:08. > :08:14.potentially over the next five days we could see as much a 60 - 80

:08:15. > :08:18.millimetres of rainfall, among's worth in just five days. Before that

:08:19. > :08:25.there are lots of tricky conditions out there at the moment. We have got

:08:26. > :08:29.snow across Scotland and Northern Ireland. As these showers pushed

:08:30. > :08:34.further inland and temperatures fall away, we could see snow at lower

:08:35. > :08:39.levels as well. It is a similar story for South Yorkshire and into

:08:40. > :08:44.Derbyshire and perhaps the Midlands. Even if we do not get the snow, and

:08:45. > :08:50.we keep the showers, it will be a cold night, so that could lead to

:08:51. > :08:54.icy stretches on the roads. That will pale into insignificance

:08:55. > :08:59.because the wind is already picking up and an intense band of rain

:09:00. > :09:05.continues to push in across the country. This time it will be a bit

:09:06. > :09:09.more prolonged for tomorrow. The wins either significant feature

:09:10. > :09:16.There is an amber warning for the gusts of wind. Let's look at the

:09:17. > :09:21.afternoon. In the Northern Isles and the far north of Scotland it is

:09:22. > :09:26.quite quiet. Snow continues across the mountains and sharp showers in

:09:27. > :09:34.northern Ireland and northern England. The winds pick up into the

:09:35. > :09:40.North West and the South of Wales. The band of rain is still clinging

:09:41. > :09:44.on to East Anglia and the Essex and Kent coasts. Blizzard conditions are

:09:45. > :09:51.possible overnight in Scotland and on the higher ground. By Thursday

:09:52. > :09:56.things potentially get a little quieter. There will be some showers

:09:57. > :09:59.around, but wet and windy weather set to return as we move towards

:10:00. > :10:01.Friday.
