And that is all from us for this evening. Now on BBC One, | :00:00. | :00:13. | |
Good evening. This battle is not over ` that's the | :00:14. | :00:20. | |
message from unions tonight about the dispute with Condor Ferries over | :00:21. | :00:23. | |
workers rights. A two week strike which halted services between the | :00:24. | :00:26. | |
Channel Islands and St Malo was called off yesterday, after Condor | :00:27. | :00:29. | |
said it had agreed to offer the French sailors a better insurance | :00:30. | :00:31. | |
package. But the International Transport Workers federation ` who | :00:32. | :00:34. | |
organised the industrial action ` said today that they were taking | :00:35. | :00:37. | |
legal action as Condor was 'impossible to negotiate with'. | :00:38. | :00:42. | |
Well, as the war of words intensifies, passengers have finally | :00:43. | :00:46. | |
been arriving back in the islands. Penny Elderfield reports. A short | :00:47. | :00:53. | |
wait at St Malo harbour this morning is nothing for these passengers ` | :00:54. | :00:56. | |
who've been waiting for two weeks to get to Jersey: I have not been able | :00:57. | :01:03. | |
to get to Jersey for the past two and a half weeks. First of all was | :01:04. | :01:07. | |
the weather and then it has been the strike. TRANSLATION: We had a trip | :01:08. | :01:15. | |
planned for Valentine's Day and we had to reschedule. We are bit and | :01:16. | :01:21. | |
happy and a bit and pleased. `` unhappy. And finally, at around 10am | :01:22. | :01:24. | |
french time, the Condor Rapide bid au revoir to France... ...And | :01:25. | :01:29. | |
bonjour to St Helier. Meaning the ferry link to France is back in time | :01:30. | :01:34. | |
for the school holidays ` and in one case, a family emergency: I have | :01:35. | :01:36. | |
come over particularly for the birth of my first grandchild. My | :01:37. | :01:41. | |
daughter`in`law is going to have the baby at lunchtime so I was | :01:42. | :01:47. | |
desperately hoping it would be back on. Somebody is looking after me! | :01:48. | :01:51. | |
Relief for passengers to get back on board here ` and relief for Condor | :01:52. | :01:55. | |
that the striking crew that have been on here for 14 days are no | :01:56. | :02:01. | |
longer comandeering it. This was where the dozen or so crew members | :02:02. | :02:04. | |
lived whilst on board ` creating sleeping quarters here, and even | :02:05. | :02:07. | |
having a tv to watch the olympics. But now it's back to normality. . | :02:08. | :02:11. | |
And back in Guernsey, albeit a bit too late for those who had their | :02:12. | :02:17. | |
half term plans disrupted. The boat may be moving again but it looks | :02:18. | :02:23. | |
like relations between Condor and the union still have some way to go. | :02:24. | :02:31. | |
We will appoint a lawyer to get some legal steps because a lot of things | :02:32. | :02:36. | |
are not in compliance with the law so it is not possible to accept | :02:37. | :02:41. | |
that. We need to try and get the company to get what we want. It is | :02:42. | :02:46. | |
important we put this behind us and work together and try and learn from | :02:47. | :02:50. | |
whatever issues they have. We have learned a few issues already. We do | :02:51. | :02:56. | |
not recognise the advice they had from the ITF union. We do not | :02:57. | :03:03. | |
recognise that organisations or any comments that organisation have not | :03:04. | :03:08. | |
comments that the company will listen to. ITF is ruling out further | :03:09. | :03:12. | |
strike action at the moment as it says passengers have suffered | :03:13. | :03:15. | |
enough. And as the dispute moves on to the next level Condors customers | :03:16. | :03:18. | |
will be hoping they're left out of it. | :03:19. | :03:23. | |
Smoking in cars carrying children in Jersey should be banned according to | :03:24. | :03:26. | |
the results of a public consultation. Almost eight out of | :03:27. | :03:29. | |
ten people who responded said they'd support a law banning it. There was | :03:30. | :03:32. | |
also support for making children's playgrounds smoke`free. The Health | :03:33. | :03:36. | |
authorities have welcomed the findings ` which will be used to | :03:37. | :03:39. | |
form the States' next Tobacco Strategy. | :03:40. | :03:41. | |
Electricity prices in Jersey are going up by one and a half per cent | :03:42. | :03:46. | |
from April. It's to cover the costs of generating power on the island. | :03:47. | :03:49. | |
Jersey Electricity has been using the power station at La Colette | :03:50. | :03:52. | |
since last April, when an undersea cable from France was lost. | :03:53. | :03:55. | |
Hundreds of people gathered in Jersey this morning for a memorial | :03:56. | :03:58. | |
service for the former Lieutenant Governor Sir Michael Wilkes. Sir | :03:59. | :04:01. | |
Michael, who was the Queen's representative in the island between | :04:02. | :04:04. | |
1995 and 2000, died from cancer last autumn. | :04:05. | :04:11. | |
Jersey is experiencing a record period of falling house prices, | :04:12. | :04:14. | |
according to new official figures. Since the last peak in 2009, average | :04:15. | :04:17. | |
prices have dropped about six per cent. The average price of ?375 000 | :04:18. | :04:21. | |
for a two bedroom house last year was the lowest recorded since 2 07. | :04:22. | :04:29. | |
A little earlier I spoke to Roger Trower from Broadlands Estate Agents | :04:30. | :04:32. | |
to find out who are the winners and losers from this situation. The | :04:33. | :04:44. | |
purchasers are the winners. There are certain parts of the market | :04:45. | :04:49. | |
which have been overcooked. But not to the extent that has been said | :04:50. | :04:56. | |
with regard to the statistics, you can prove lots of different things | :04:57. | :05:01. | |
coming out from there. We have seen a off of prices in some parts. Can | :05:02. | :05:09. | |
people afford to buy? That is where we have seen readjustment. We have | :05:10. | :05:14. | |
had a lot of supplied to the lower end of the market where young people | :05:15. | :05:18. | |
hope to come in and they should be able to buy as long as family | :05:19. | :05:23. | |
members help with deposits and things like that. The banks are at | :05:24. | :05:27. | |
last beginning to be more helpful. The States Housing Deposit Scheme | :05:28. | :05:30. | |
gave some people interest free loans to help them ` what impact has that | :05:31. | :05:36. | |
had? It has had some but the criteria for people to take up that | :05:37. | :05:41. | |
all for was quite half. We rightly so. `` quite tough. Quite rightly | :05:42. | :05:52. | |
so. If people can be helped to get on the housing ladder that is all | :05:53. | :05:58. | |
very well, you should be buying to have a home for a considerable | :05:59. | :06:04. | |
length of time, for that reason not to make money out of it. Hopefully | :06:05. | :06:10. | |
people are saying, that is our house for the next ten years. What more | :06:11. | :06:15. | |
needs to be done? We will supply more help from the States. I would | :06:16. | :06:20. | |
like to see the lowering of stand duty for first`time buyers. `` stamp | :06:21. | :06:29. | |
duty. That's the news. Now for the forecast. | :06:30. | :06:34. | |
Good evening. More showers to come over the next few days although they | :06:35. | :06:40. | |
are quite isolated. A breezy day tomorrow with some sunshine. There | :06:41. | :06:44. | |
are some showers around tonight which could be lively, even with the | :06:45. | :06:50. | |
risk of thunder. The showers become more isolated later tonight. A cold | :06:51. | :06:57. | |
start to the day tomorrow, we should get sunshine in between the showers. | :06:58. | :07:01. | |
They will be frequent for much of the day, easing in the afternoon. | :07:02. | :07:08. | |
Eight degrees the top temperature. A brisk south`westerly wind tomorrow. | :07:09. | :07:12. | |
Saturday will be a nice day with some sunshine. Cloudy on Sunday with | :07:13. | :07:18. | |
a strong southerly winds. Rain Sunday night into Monday, replaced | :07:19. | :07:27. | |
by showers on Monday. We will have the UK forecast in a second but it | :07:28. | :07:29. | |
is good night from me. the outlook. On Sunday, we have grey | :07:30. | :07:32. | |
skies and a bit of drizzle, too Good evening. You may have had the | :07:33. | :07:44. | |
latest from the Met Office about the rainfall we have had this winter, | :07:45. | :07:48. | |
the wettest winter on | :07:49. | :07:49. |
