:00:00. > :00:12.Hello. Good evening. The top News at Six so
:00:13. > :00:16.Hello. Good evening. The top stories: Flybe to axe flights from
:00:17. > :00:20.the islands to Gatwick tomorrow leaving Guernsey with no competition
:00:21. > :00:24.on the route ` but will there be enough availability for those of us
:00:25. > :00:32.wanting to fly? School holidays coming up in April
:00:33. > :00:34.and the summer, October and also for December. Flights getting busy
:00:35. > :00:37.already. Also, The shop where you can't buy
:00:38. > :00:44.anything ` the businessman who claims this is the future of
:00:45. > :00:48.shopping in Jersey. At the Royal Jersey Showground, find out why
:00:49. > :00:54.cakes and snakes go together this weekend. Plus, as spring arrives
:00:55. > :01:00.across the island. It will be warmer, it will be dry and we will
:01:01. > :01:08.get some sunshine. I will have the details later in the programme.
:01:09. > :01:13.The last Flybe flights between the Channel Islands and Gatwick will
:01:14. > :01:16.take off this weekend. The airline announced last year it was pulling
:01:17. > :01:18.the service, leaving Guernsey with just one operator on the route, the
:01:19. > :01:22.States`owned airline Aurigny. Already concerns have been raised
:01:23. > :01:26.about prices, now some are claiming the bigger problem will be
:01:27. > :01:46.availability. Penny Elderfield reports. Because by this time
:01:47. > :01:49.tomorrow Flybe won't be flying to Gatwick anymore. Flybe will still
:01:50. > :01:52.have a presence here of course. The flights to other airports like
:01:53. > :01:55.Southampton will continue and in the short`term to help cope with the
:01:56. > :01:59.extra passengers needing to get to Gatwick, Aurigny is actually leasing
:02:00. > :02:02.one of Flybe's jets. That's until its own new one arrives in the
:02:03. > :02:08.summer. But with no competition soon on the route for Guernsey there's
:02:09. > :02:12.concern Aurigny's prices will go up. Particularly when you compare them
:02:13. > :02:14.to some of the fares you can get to fly from Jersey. But Aurigny
:02:15. > :02:23.promises it won't be ripping people off. We are committed to keeping
:02:24. > :02:29.prices under control. It was part of the deal with The States that we
:02:30. > :02:34.would not escalate affairs. There will be plenty of good deals around.
:02:35. > :02:38.He advises, book early. In the business of booking a lot of
:02:39. > :02:41.flights, the cost may be one thing, but for this travel agent it's the
:02:42. > :02:47.availability of flights that's the worry. School holidays coming up for
:02:48. > :02:51.April, through the summer, October and also for December as well.
:02:52. > :02:57.Flights getting really busy. Prices have gone up slightly, but I think
:02:58. > :03:01.that would have happened anyway. That availability is getting booked
:03:02. > :03:05.up. Aurigny has increased the number of flights to Gatwick, and says it
:03:06. > :03:07.can meet demand. But the lack of choice for getting there is
:03:08. > :03:13.something Guernsey passengers will now have to get used to.
:03:14. > :03:17.Almost a year since Guernsey woman, Sarah Groves, was found dead in
:03:18. > :03:19.India, the man accused of murdering her has made another appearance in
:03:20. > :03:23.court. Dutchman Richard de Witt denies all charges. 24`year`old
:03:24. > :03:25.Sarah was found stabbed to death on a houseboat in Srinagar's
:03:26. > :03:32.picturesque Lake Dal on April sixth last year. The trial has heard from
:03:33. > :03:35.26 witnesses so far. The BBC's correspondent in Kashmir Riyaz
:03:36. > :03:40.Masroor says it's one of the longest trials ever to take place in the
:03:41. > :03:45.region. The prosecution has never been able
:03:46. > :03:52.to present the murder weapon or any direct eyewitnesses. The murder took
:03:53. > :03:56.place at night. On previous occasions we thought the case would
:03:57. > :04:03.collapse but the prosecution sought more time and the judges gave it.
:04:04. > :04:06.They have asked them to do more and work harder to find out what
:04:07. > :04:13.happened, but nothing conclusive is coming out.
:04:14. > :04:15.A hospital nurse from Guernsey has been ordered to attend anger
:04:16. > :04:18.management classes after being found guilty of slapping a black colleague
:04:19. > :04:21.and shouting racial abuse. The Nursing and Midwifery Council
:04:22. > :04:24.concluded that as Anne Gallacher had since undergone training in Equality
:04:25. > :04:28.and Diversity and wasn't a risk to patient safety, she should not be
:04:29. > :04:30.struck off the nursing register. She will continue to practise under
:04:31. > :04:32.several conditions, including completing an anger management
:04:33. > :04:35.course in Guernsey. The debate about changing the voting
:04:36. > :04:38.system in Guernsey has been delayed until July. A motion signed by seven
:04:39. > :04:42.politicians had asked the Assembly to agree that in future Deputies
:04:43. > :04:46.would be elected on an island`wide basis and that all voters would have
:04:47. > :04:49.the same number of votes as there are seats available. But Deputy
:04:50. > :04:59.Lyndon Trott successfully postponed the issue until a review of
:05:00. > :05:03.government is complete. There's been a lot made about the
:05:04. > :05:06.death of the high street as online shopping becomes more popular. But
:05:07. > :05:09.one Jersey businessman is fighting back by combining the traditional
:05:10. > :05:12.shop with the internet. Christina Ghidoni reports.
:05:13. > :05:14.Buy online or go into town? It's the battle of the shopping experience as
:05:15. > :05:17.traditional high street shops compete with the internet. But the
:05:18. > :05:22.owner of local online furniture website MyPad.je, Paul Clark, is
:05:23. > :05:26.combining the two. He's opening a showroom where customers can touch
:05:27. > :05:38.and try but browse and order online here or at home. There are no cash
:05:39. > :05:43.tills and no money changes hands. We find our busiest day of the week is
:05:44. > :05:48.a Sunday. Or evening 's. People order from their phones, they order
:05:49. > :05:53.from their computers. It is not necessarily can be done whilst they
:05:54. > :05:56.are watching the television. This fusion of traditional shopping
:05:57. > :06:02.and the internet has been growing in the UK for years now. So why is
:06:03. > :06:08.Jersey so behind? There is a degree of Philip dance to accept the
:06:09. > :06:15.Internet is almost inevitable for many retailers. It requires a leap
:06:16. > :06:20.into the unknown for a lot of his Mrs and requires some investment.
:06:21. > :06:24.What we are seeing retailers, particularly retailers that have
:06:25. > :06:29.just started, to act disruptively insert insect does and they are
:06:30. > :06:32.making the longest standing players look at their business models. The
:06:33. > :06:36.MyPad.je showroom opens tomorrow at West Centre with the hope of
:06:37. > :06:44.encouraging islanders to shop in Jersey rather than spend online with
:06:45. > :06:48.big UK retailers. The clocks go forward on Sunday so
:06:49. > :06:54.Spring will officially have sprung. And the first country show of the
:06:55. > :06:56.year takes place this weekend. Visitors to the Royal Jersey
:06:57. > :06:59.Showground will see prize`winning flowers, pot plants, jams, cakes
:07:00. > :07:05.and... Snakes. Yes you heard me correctly ` snakes and cakes. Now
:07:06. > :07:07.that's what I call a spring show with a difference. We sent a very
:07:08. > :07:24.brave Jen Smith along to join preparations and find out more.
:07:25. > :07:29.You might have come to the Showground in the past to see
:07:30. > :07:36.livestock, wildlife and perhaps even royalty, but this weekend we have
:07:37. > :07:41.different visitors. Viz. With me is penny, the owner. This is the Jersey
:07:42. > :07:48.Spring flower show, what are they doing here? They help to bring in
:07:49. > :07:55.the crowds. It is a good idea to bring them. People love to see them.
:07:56. > :08:04.This is a cornflour snake? Corn snake. How many snakes do you have
:08:05. > :08:12.here? I have got six altogether. I have a lower and 8`. How long have
:08:13. > :08:22.you been keeping them? About ten years. I have always liked reptiles.
:08:23. > :08:30.Lots of people are scared of snakes, it is going to be busy this
:08:31. > :08:33.weekend? There are some genuinely scared people, but other people are
:08:34. > :08:40.curiouser. I think Durie city overrides the fear. People think
:08:41. > :08:45.they are slimy but they are not. Penny as yours me the snakes will be
:08:46. > :08:52.secure this weekend and will not be sliding over any prize exhibits.
:08:53. > :08:56.We should see the outtakes. David is web is now. I think cakes
:08:57. > :08:57.rather than snakes for me but it is set to be a nice weekend ahead,
:08:58. > :09:09.isn't it? You are quite right, there is some
:09:10. > :09:15.lovely weather to enjoy. Spring arrives and it will be warmer. We
:09:16. > :09:20.could see temperatures on Sunday up to 17 degrees. Dry with some hazy
:09:21. > :09:23.sunshine. When you look at the picture at the moment is, you may
:09:24. > :09:29.not think that is on its way because there is a lot of cloud. It is
:09:30. > :09:33.generating showers at the moment. But in the broader picture, you can
:09:34. > :09:36.see it is moving west. As it continues to move into the
:09:37. > :09:42.Atlantic, the weather over central France will bring us some warmth and
:09:43. > :09:48.some sunshine. I have gone back to the beginning, never mind. Draw your
:09:49. > :09:53.attention to the clear skies over France, because that is what is
:09:54. > :09:59.heading our way over the next 24 hours. Showers overnight, and one or
:10:00. > :10:02.two could be heavy. They are around the islands now and we have had some
:10:03. > :10:08.hefty downpours in the last couple of hours. But it moves away
:10:09. > :10:13.northwards by the end of the night it becomes a mainly dry. Just a few
:10:14. > :10:17.showers behind. Those will creep out of the way. It will warm up quickly
:10:18. > :10:25.with hazy sunshine. Bit of a breeze, so on the coast perhaps not quite as
:10:26. > :10:28.warm, but for most of us, 15, 16 degrees. Although we see a lot of
:10:29. > :10:32.high`level cloud, it will make the sunshine hazy. These are the coastal
:10:33. > :10:49.waters. The outlook is for the warmth and
:10:50. > :10:54.the dry weather to continue into Sunday. Remember the clocks go
:10:55. > :10:57.forward overnight Saturday into Sunday. A little bit cooler with a
:10:58. > :11:01.few showers dotted around on Monday. Sunday. A little bit cooler with a
:11:02. > :11:07.few showers But a good weekend. Perfect weather for going to see
:11:08. > :11:08.snakes and cakes. Might even get my shorts on this weekend.
:11:09. > :11:23.Back with the headlines at 8pm. 16 across the UK.
:11:24. > :11:27.Still to come in Spotlight tonight: a big weekend ahead for South West
:11:28. > :11:38.sport. Dave has all the latest on tomorrow's big local rugby derby.
:11:39. > :11:44.This weekend, we finally get some dry weather. Temperatures are on the
:11:45. > :11:47.rise. Full forecasts coming later. The long and fascinating history of
:11:48. > :11:51.Penzance is being celebrated as the Cornish town marks its 400th
:11:52. > :11:58.anniversary. It was in 1614 that the town gained its Royal Charter from
:11:59. > :12:01.James the First. A special exhibition is now looking at the
:12:02. > :12:11.town's earliest origins to significant events in living memory.
:12:12. > :12:16.Penzance started life as an important trading post and fishing
:12:17. > :12:23.port. The Romans exported ten From St Michael's Mount. They had
:12:24. > :12:29.ambitions for this to become a borough. But they were invaded by
:12:30. > :12:35.higher its. Many buildings were bound to the ground. We tended to
:12:36. > :12:48.get burnt down! We were very hospitable to pirates. After that,
:12:49. > :12:56.they had powers to levy taxes and so on. It to limited the town. In the
:12:57. > :13:04.17th century, it became a coinage town. There was a large Jewish
:13:05. > :13:09.community. The market Street has not changed that much. In the 19th
:13:10. > :13:14.century, the Railway opened up Cornwall to artists and visitors.
:13:15. > :13:19.Railway companies were in competition with each other to
:13:20. > :13:25.design the best poster. They were telling people that was a place that
:13:26. > :13:34.was cool in the summer and warm in the winter. They could come here for
:13:35. > :13:41.golf, for fishing... Of course there is not all these fine weather. This
:13:42. > :13:44.was earlier this year. This famous painting was hidden away for many
:13:45. > :13:51.years because the council didn't want Penzance associated with bad
:13:52. > :13:57.weather. This exhibition runs until June. There are also plans for many
:13:58. > :14:00.other events to mark the town's important anniversary.
:14:01. > :14:07.It is a big weekend for South West sport. Today, Dave has been to
:14:08. > :14:10.Brickfields, the venue for tomorrows rugby clash between cross Tamar
:14:11. > :14:15.rivals Plymouth Albion and the Cornish Pirates.
:14:16. > :14:19.Here at the Brickfields, we will find out tomorrow who will be find
:14:20. > :14:22.the flag for Southwest rugby in the championship. Plymouth Albion or the
:14:23. > :14:32.Cornish Pirates? The Pirates have struck first blood already by
:14:33. > :14:35.beating them on Boxing Day. Yeovil Town face the biggest match
:14:36. > :14:38.of the football season against Barnsley whom they must beat if they
:14:39. > :14:45.have any chance of escaping the drop. Both teams are on 32 points in
:14:46. > :14:50.the bottom three. The winners will be looking upwards while the losers
:14:51. > :14:53.will be in it up to their necks. If we can get an enthusiastic and
:14:54. > :14:57.supportive crowd behind us, than that will give us a massive bonus on
:14:58. > :15:01.match day. It has to be like the Sheffield United play`off game. If
:15:02. > :15:03.our supporters can recreate that, we have every chance.
:15:04. > :15:07.Time is running out for Torquay United at the bottom of league two.
:15:08. > :15:14.Non`league football is looming with only seven games remaining.
:15:15. > :15:22.Tomorrow, they face a tough fixture at Southend.
:15:23. > :15:26.Exeter City are seven points away from danger. They could improve
:15:27. > :15:38.their standing by beating Accrington Stanley at St James Park.
:15:39. > :15:46.Moving to rugby and Exeter look to complete a double over Gloucester.
:15:47. > :15:48.With five games left, they still harbour hopes of finishing in the
:15:49. > :15:51.top six. Here, Plymouth Albion look to beat
:15:52. > :16:07.their local rivals for the first time since 2009. They played on
:16:08. > :16:18.Boxing Day. Jack Andrew got the try. There will be coverage on local
:16:19. > :16:21.radio throughout the day. An Exmouth teenager could rule the
:16:22. > :16:25.world in badminton next week. Ben Lane has just returned from the
:16:26. > :16:28.European under 17 championships with two gold medals. He is now targeting
:16:29. > :16:35.the world under 19 title. He is just 16 years old. But he is
:16:36. > :16:38.ready to take on the world. Ben Lane is now European Badminton 's top
:16:39. > :16:42.doubles player for his age. Now he is aiming to make it on a global
:16:43. > :16:45.stage. He has worked hard on his fitness. That has shown because in
:16:46. > :16:58.the last couple of weeks over the Europeans, he played a lot of team
:16:59. > :17:03.and individual matches. I don't think he would have been able to
:17:04. > :17:06.have done that if he hadn't improved his fitness to such a high level.
:17:07. > :17:10.Not only does that mean more time on court, but also more time here in
:17:11. > :17:13.the gym. He is putting in hours ahead of this weekend 's national
:17:14. > :17:17.championships, before jetting off to Malaysia early next week. My main
:17:18. > :17:20.goal is to see where I am against all the Asian players. The Asian and
:17:21. > :17:31.European players are at a totally different level over there. I just
:17:32. > :17:35.have to see where I am. With ambition like that, who's to say
:17:36. > :17:43.that Ben Lane can't be a big star of badminton for years to come?
:17:44. > :17:46.Finally from me, Exeter College are playing in the final of the under
:17:47. > :17:49.18s competition tomorrow. Exeter must overcome Trent College from
:17:50. > :17:51.Nottingham to lift the trophy. Best of luck to them.
:17:52. > :17:54.All your football and rugby throughout Saturday afternoon will
:17:55. > :17:59.be on your local radio. It all began nearly 30 years ago as
:18:00. > :18:02.one man's obsession with cars. Today the Haynes Motor Museum in Somerset
:18:03. > :18:06.hosts one of the UK's biggest collection of classic cars ` 400 in
:18:07. > :18:09.total. Now it is about to open its doors after a multi million pound
:18:10. > :18:13.make over. Our Somerset Correspondent has been to take a
:18:14. > :18:20.look and get behind the wheel of one of the rare exhibits.
:18:21. > :18:23.The ultimate boy's toy. A party of schoolchildren getting their hands
:18:24. > :18:31.on a little bit of motoring history today. Any more space in the back?!
:18:32. > :18:36.Now, history has a new 21st`century home. Which has been two years in
:18:37. > :18:47.the making and cost more than ?5 million. How times have changed.
:18:48. > :18:50.When it all started in 1985, there were just 33 cars. The private
:18:51. > :18:54.collection of John Haynes, that's the man behind the famous motoring
:18:55. > :19:00.manuals. He would readily admit an indulgent obsession.
:19:01. > :19:06.Music. That obsession has certainly grown.
:19:07. > :19:13.400 cars now from classic pieces of history to supercars. And how about
:19:14. > :19:27.this? If you were super`rich and American back in the 1930s, this is
:19:28. > :19:31.what you had. A Duesenberg. Today, the boss of this collection is
:19:32. > :19:35.John's son, Mark Haynes. If you had to pick your favourite, what would
:19:36. > :19:39.it be? This Duesenberg is a magnificent American motor car. It
:19:40. > :19:44.is worth a few bob? Our most valuable car. If I offered you one
:19:45. > :19:55.million, would you take it? No. Two million? Probably not. I give up!
:19:56. > :19:57.This afternoon, they were preparing a new hall. Moving some exhibits
:19:58. > :20:04.ahead of the grand opening next month. Welcome to our new and
:20:05. > :20:06.unopened mini hall. And putting the finishing touches to an exhibition
:20:07. > :20:13.dedicated to the Great British favourite. One of the unique things
:20:14. > :20:17.about this museum is that some of the cars are actually taxed and
:20:18. > :20:20.insured, which means... You can actually drive them on the road! See
:20:21. > :20:32.you in a couple of weeks. Goodbye! Drive carefully!
:20:33. > :20:35.It is a big birthday today for radio broadcasting in the south west.
:20:36. > :20:47.Justin has been doing some time travel and joins us from 1924.
:20:48. > :20:54.It was for this studio that the British broadcasting Company first
:20:55. > :21:01.trip to the air from the South West. In 1924, all years were on this run.
:21:02. > :21:05.Listeners that evening heard a concert from the Guildhall in
:21:06. > :21:09.Plymouth and speeches from the Lord Mayor and John Rees, the managing
:21:10. > :21:15.director of the BBC. Our reporter has been taking a look at how it all
:21:16. > :21:21.started for the BBC in South West. These were the forefathers of BBC
:21:22. > :21:31.South West. 90 years ago this evening, BBC Radio station began its
:21:32. > :21:38.first broadcast from Plymouth. The Royal Marine band played live across
:21:39. > :21:43.the airwaves. Over the years, radio programmes featured work from
:21:44. > :21:56.celebrities such as George Bernard Shaw. He gave his first radio
:21:57. > :22:04.interview in 19 34. This children's programme was very popular. There
:22:05. > :22:12.would be an opening chorus. The station director who and his
:22:13. > :22:16.assistant would sing a duet. Then there would be my reading. I
:22:17. > :22:25.remember reading Black beauty and crying over it. The children also
:22:26. > :22:33.cried. BBC staff moved out of the city to the suburbs with the
:22:34. > :22:39.outbreak of war. And now mid`day parade. Eventually local live
:22:40. > :22:50.television news took to the airwaves. This man worked for the
:22:51. > :23:02.BBC for 26 years. Many people had very posh accents. It was the Kings
:23:03. > :23:07.English. It opened us up to the rest of the world. We fed into the
:23:08. > :23:17.network on occasion. In the early 1970s, a new radio service started.
:23:18. > :23:29.Then in 1983, radio Devon and radio Cornwall started broadcasting. It is
:23:30. > :23:39.amazing to think that we are now in this newsroom broadcasting to
:23:40. > :23:44.hundreds of thousands because of online, radio and television. And it
:23:45. > :23:56.all started implemented in 1924. So, happy birthday, BBC South West!
:23:57. > :24:01.Fascinating. Now we will go bang up`to`date with modern technology.
:24:02. > :24:08.Thanks for getting in touch. One viewer has e`mailed a skin if

:24:14. > :24:18.lines. Free parking would draw me into town
:24:19. > :24:21.to shop. It is one that superstores can provide it and smaller

:24:43. > :24:45.We had a fair number of e`mails saying the girl is yesterday were so
:24:46. > :24:51.good that they should get rid of me! Please give me a few more
:24:52. > :25:01.years! It is fine and dry. At last, some
:25:02. > :25:06.spring weather. For most of the South West, the sunshine will be
:25:07. > :25:09.back out. The exception will be western parts of Cornwall and the
:25:10. > :25:17.Isles of Scilly. Will be a keen wind. For the rest of us, it will
:25:18. > :25:22.improve. Lots of cloud not just for us but stretching right across
:25:23. > :25:26.France, Spain and Portugal. A whole weather systems gradually drifting

:25:32. > :25:41.coming from France during the course of tomorrow. It will stick with into
:25:42. > :25:44.Sunday as well. It has been another cold day today. Some showers are
:25:45. > :25:49.still dotted around and they will plague us again tonight. Gradually
:25:50. > :25:59.moving away. Still the risk of showers right through until tomorrow
:26:00. > :26:04.morning at sunrise. For most of us, it is a dry start to the day
:26:05. > :26:09.tomorrow. Temperatures down to five degrees. Not quite as cold as it has

:26:14. > :26:19.then stops just to the west of the Isles of Scilly. For all of us, are
:26:20. > :26:26.fine and dry day with the exception in the far west of Cornwall. In the
:26:27. > :26:32.sunshine, feeling quite warm. There is a noticeable breeze along the
:26:33. > :26:45.Cornwall coast. For the Isles of Scilly, quite cloudy conditions.
:26:46. > :26:57.Here are the times of high water. Not much for our surfers. The

:27:08. > :27:15.Gusting for seven around the Isles of Scilly. Sunday will be another
:27:16. > :27:21.fine day with warm sunshine for most of us. The threat of showers in the
:27:22. > :27:28.far West. Frequent showers overnight. Cooler next week, but
:27:29. > :27:32.warmer than it has been. Don't forget, the clocks go forward one
