:00:17. > :00:19.magazine. Private Eye has ptblished fresh claims about the behaviour of
:00:20. > :00:23.the Channel Islands Stock Exchange. The company was re`structurdd at the
:00:24. > :00:26.end of last year. Previous ledia coverage of the company saw Deputy
:00:27. > :00:33.Peter Harwood resign as Chidf Minister. Edward Sault reports. It
:00:34. > :00:36.was following national medi` reports about his previous role as `
:00:37. > :00:38.director of the Channel Isl`nds Stock Exchange and chairman of
:00:39. > :00:45.Guernsey's financial servicds regulator that Peter Harwood
:00:46. > :00:54.resigned. He said it was dud to the 'risk to the reputation' of the
:00:55. > :00:59.office. The reason it is as I've stated, and I want to add to that.
:01:00. > :01:02.Now the company he was a director of is facing further criticisms in the
:01:03. > :01:06.latest edition of Private Exe. Private Eye's allegations, which the
:01:07. > :01:08.BBC has not been able to verify include claims that CISX: "Was
:01:09. > :01:11.riddled with at best gross incompetence and flagrant protection
:01:12. > :01:13.of vested interests." That "current and previous directors and
:01:14. > :01:18.executives have been indemnhfied against the legal costs of fighting
:01:19. > :01:21.any GFSC imposed fines." "The 2 12 CISX accounts contained no lention
:01:22. > :01:24.of the GFSC investigation, despite it being in process for months
:01:25. > :01:27.before the accounts were signed off last year" These currently
:01:28. > :01:30.unverified allegations are likely to cause further difficulties `t a time
:01:31. > :01:38.when Guernsey and the islands' institutions would prefer not to be
:01:39. > :01:40.in the media spotlight. Deptty Harwood wouldn't speak on c`mera
:01:41. > :01:43.today but Guernsey's Ministdr for commerce and employment defdnded the
:01:44. > :01:54.islands place as a financial instItution. I would not be being
:01:55. > :01:59.honest if I did not say that it is unhelpful to Guernsey and it is
:02:00. > :02:06.something that as a policy counsel and I as the minister do kedp a
:02:07. > :02:12.close eye on. What we have to consistently demonstrate is how open
:02:13. > :02:16.and transparent Guernsey is as a and our willingness to cooperatd with
:02:17. > :02:18.international partners. The Channel Islands Stock Exchange is still
:02:19. > :02:21.under investigation by Guernsey s Financial Services Commission. The
:02:22. > :02:24.company was restructured towards the end of last year and is now called
:02:25. > :02:27.the Channel Islands securithes exchange. They wouldn't comlent
:02:28. > :02:30.today. This renewed national media attention though won't be wdlcome as
:02:31. > :02:35.Guernsey's politicians prep`re to meet this week to vote in the
:02:36. > :02:38.islands next Chief Minister. Eighteen people connected to the
:02:39. > :02:40.Ukraine, including its ex`president Viktor Yanukovych, have had
:02:41. > :02:44.financial sanctions imposed on them by the Channel Islands. The European
:02:45. > :02:47.Union agreed to freeze the `ssets of people suspected to have taken money
:02:48. > :02:51.from the country, or violatdd human rights laws. Jersey's Financial
:02:52. > :03:00.Services Commission asked fhnancial firms to examine their records. The
:03:01. > :03:03.trial of the man accused of murdering Guernsey woman Sarah
:03:04. > :03:06.Groves in India resumed tod`y. Dutch national Richard De Wit is standing
:03:07. > :03:10.trial in Kashmir. He denies all the charges. Today the court he`rd from
:03:11. > :03:16.a neighbour of the houseboat where Sarah had been staying. The case
:03:17. > :03:18.will resume at the end of the month. Kerbside recycling has begun in
:03:19. > :03:22.Guernsey. Householders are being asked to put paper and card out in
:03:23. > :03:24.clear bags on their normal collection nights this week with
:03:25. > :03:28.tins, cans, plastic containdrs and drinks cartons collected in the blue
:03:29. > :03:31.bags from next week. During the interim scheme, islanders whll still
:03:32. > :03:36.have to take their glass to the bring banks. Unhygienic restaurants
:03:37. > :03:39.and food shops in Guernsey `re being named and shamed. From todax, any
:03:40. > :03:42.business that prepares food will have their new hygiene rating
:03:43. > :03:48.displayed on the front door. Mike Wilkins reports. Consumers now have
:03:49. > :03:53.another tool in their decishon box when it comes to deciding where they
:03:54. > :03:58.eat and shop for food. A new hygiene star system is being introdtced The
:03:59. > :04:05.best will be given five stars, and any with fewer than three stars will
:04:06. > :04:10.be closely scrutinised. Oncd the scheme is running it is onlx the
:04:11. > :04:13.cost of printing the stickers and we have the website available, there is
:04:14. > :04:19.no cost they are, and the r`tings will be done as part of routine
:04:20. > :04:24.inspections, no additional visits. It is a cost neutral scheme and
:04:25. > :04:28.allows us to get the inform`tion to the public. For customers, ht'll
:04:29. > :04:31.mean piece of mind that when a restaurant looks good on thd
:04:32. > :04:35.outside' 'it's doing a good job inside too' Take this fish `nd chip
:04:36. > :04:38.shop, already awarded top m`rks with five out of five. Its owner says it
:04:39. > :04:46.should improve standards by increasing competition in the
:04:47. > :04:50.industry. I think that people would have been going to the same places
:04:51. > :04:55.anyway because they know thdy are clean and they get good food, but it
:04:56. > :04:59.is going to make everyone r`ise the bar because it will be more
:05:00. > :05:04.competitive, especially if ht is all printed out for someone to read
:05:05. > :05:10.They will be able to choose by the star rating. It is fantastic. People
:05:11. > :05:14.are used to choosing from a menu, and now consumers in Guernsdy will
:05:15. > :05:18.have even more information to help them decide where to eat. In sport,
:05:19. > :05:21.Jersey's cricket team has bden promoted to World Cricket Ldague
:05:22. > :05:24.Division Four. A 122 run win over the Cayman Islands this morning
:05:25. > :05:27.means Jersey are guaranteed one of the top two spots in Division Five.
:05:28. > :05:31.Guernsey meanwhile will be relegated after failing to win any of their
:05:32. > :05:34.opening matches. The head of the Jersey Cricket Board told R`dio
:05:35. > :05:44.Jersey earlier, it's the result of a lot of hard work. We worked so hard
:05:45. > :05:48.in the planning and the tournament preparation for this cover with a
:05:49. > :05:55.new coach coming in late in the day effectively, he has to take on a lot
:05:56. > :05:58.of work, prior to that we h`ve sent `` we have spent three years
:05:59. > :06:04.preparing for this and it h`s all come together this week. Finally,
:06:05. > :06:06.the manager of the Alderney Wildlife Trust has successful swum the
:06:07. > :06:10.Swinge, raising three thous`nd pounds for the Trust. Roland Gauvin
:06:11. > :06:13.swam from Alderney to Burhot to raise awareness of the plight of sea
:06:14. > :06:17.birds killed by the winter storms. That stretch of water has some of
:06:18. > :06:19.the strongest tidal movements in the world. Roland swam it in ond hour
:06:20. > :06:28.and 26 minutes. That's it from me, David Br`ine has
:06:29. > :06:32.the Channel Islands weather next and the national forecast follows him.
:06:33. > :06:38.Goodnight. Good evening. After the warmth of the weekend, therd has
:06:39. > :06:42.been cooler weather today. We will find the temperatures lower tomorrow
:06:43. > :06:48.and the reason for that is ` lot more cloud. It will arrive later
:06:49. > :06:52.tonight, some sunny spells tomorrow, but it is another dry day and
:06:53. > :06:57.another good day, that cloud will creep into the night and also a
:06:58. > :07:05.breeze. It is a north`east `` north`easterly breeze. For tomorrow,
:07:06. > :07:10.a dry day and a fine day. Temperatures get up to 11 or 12
:07:11. > :07:14.degrees, a lot of cloud, sole sunny spells in the afternoon. On
:07:15. > :07:18.Wednesday and Thursday, the sunshine is back, the breeze drops and it
:07:19. > :07:25.will feel warmer and there will be more cloud by Friday. For the next
:07:26. > :07:30.four days, it is dry and fine. In a second we will have a full forecast
:07:31. > :07:32.for the UK, we will be back tomorrow.
:07:33. > :07:36.11 or 12 degrees. This is the outlook. If you are heading
:07:37. > :07:41.somewhere else in the UK, you need the forecast. Hello. The local
:07:42. > :07:45.weather detail you have just heard fit into an overall pattern which is
:07:46. > :07:47.now equivocal in different from the one that gave us our wettest winter
:07:48. > :07:52.on record. We have spent the day watching high
:07:53. > :07:56.pressure pushing across the UK. It is settling our weather down like
:07:57. > :08:00.any area of high pressure. It is here for a while. It is here for
:08:01. > :08:05.this week. The Jetstream has moved north and the wet and whether -
:08:06. > :08:09.whinny systems have moved towards Iceland. Our weather is now much
:08:10. > :08:13.quieter. Sundays are sunnier than others. In the sunshine from it
:08:14. > :08:19.feels warm. At night it will be chilly. This is the most important
:08:20. > :08:30.word making a big impact - dry. We have had some cloud in the next few
:08:31. > :08:34.hours. Under that, you avoid frost. Where it is clearest, northern
:08:35. > :08:40.England, Scotland and Northern Ireland, the hint of blue on the map
:08:41. > :08:44.shows fast developing. -- frost Tomorrow, thanks to the
:08:45. > :08:46.high-pressure, that would make an appearance again and
