:00:14. > :00:30.People in Jersey can find now out if their partner has a violent past. A
:00:31. > :00:33.UK scheme, commonly known as Clare's Law, has been introduced in the
:00:34. > :00:36.island. The Domestic Violence Disclosure Scheme came into effect
:00:37. > :00:38.in England and Wales last month. It's intended to provide information
:00:39. > :00:42.that could protect someone from being a victim of abuse or attack.
:00:43. > :00:45.The number of domestic violence incidents in Jersey has been
:00:46. > :00:48.steadily rising over the last few years. In 2009 there were 231 cases
:00:49. > :00:52.of domestic abusee. That increased to 270 in 2011, and last year saw
:00:53. > :00:55.327. That means domestic abuse accounts for 14% of all reported
:00:56. > :01:00.crime in the island, compared to 8% in the UK.
:01:01. > :01:07.Claire 's Law was named after 36`year`old Clare Wood who was a ``
:01:08. > :01:10.murdered by her ex`boyfriend in Greater Manchester five years ago.
:01:11. > :01:13.The Domestic Abuse Disclosure Scheme to give it its full name, is
:01:14. > :01:17.intended to provide information that could protect someone from an
:01:18. > :01:20.attack. In Clare's case, her ex had a history of violence against women
:01:21. > :01:23.and her dad believes she'd still be alive today if she'd known about his
:01:24. > :01:26.past. The lad that killed my daughter had already done five years
:01:27. > :01:29.in prison for holding a young lady at knife`point for eight hours in
:01:30. > :01:33.Newcastle. At my daughter known that she was not that stupid as to put
:01:34. > :01:35.herself and her daughter in harms way and she would have been out of
:01:36. > :01:45.there in an instant. The scheme is being welcomed in
:01:46. > :01:48.Jersey. That is around convicted perpetrators of domestic abuse and
:01:49. > :01:52.we do know that is to his heavily under reported as a crime and many
:01:53. > :01:56.women might feel shame and stigma attached to it and they might not
:01:57. > :02:01.want other people to know and become involved. There might be some
:02:02. > :02:03.information but it might not actually give them what they need.
:02:04. > :02:06.Detective Chief Inspector Dave Oakley who worked in Jersey for
:02:07. > :02:14.three years was responsible for the roll out of Clare's law in Sussex.
:02:15. > :02:18.In Jersey you have quite a transient population with people who come onto
:02:19. > :02:22.the island to work whether it is agricultural or the financial
:02:23. > :02:25.services industry so they may not be naturally sitting with the Jersey
:02:26. > :02:29.police. This scheme gives people the right to come in and ask and it
:02:30. > :02:31.starts the involvement of the agency.
:02:32. > :02:34.The scheme is under consideration in Guernsey, but police there can
:02:35. > :02:38.notify new partners of issues if it is legal and proportionate to do so.
:02:39. > :02:41.Clare's law is intended to protect both men and women from domestic
:02:42. > :02:45.abuse. Jersey Police says the term abuse doesn't have to be physical
:02:46. > :02:48.but can be mental and emotional too. And while the scheme can't prevent
:02:49. > :02:57.abuse, it's hoped it will enable people to make an informed decision
:02:58. > :02:59.before entering a relationship. Detective Chief Inspector Alison
:03:00. > :03:06.Fossey is Jersey Police's Domestic Abuse specialist. She told me why
:03:07. > :03:10.Clare's Law was needed here. It is needed in jersey as much as it is in
:03:11. > :03:15.the UK because it gives individuals another option here to take
:03:16. > :03:20.preventative action before an abusive relationship beds in
:03:21. > :03:25.tragedy. It will work in jersey the same as in the UK. There are two
:03:26. > :03:31.aspects to it, the rights to ask and the right to know whereby the police
:03:32. > :03:33.can proactively disclose information to protect an individual's safety.
:03:34. > :03:37.Jersey police officers who are qualified to use firearms will be
:03:38. > :03:40.able to use an electrical stun gun in future. The states have agreed to
:03:41. > :03:43.the use of so`called Tazers, which incapacitate suspects by giving them
:03:44. > :03:47.an electric shock. Police in Guernsey already use the devices.
:03:48. > :03:50.A woman had to be cut out of her car after a crash in Guernsey this
:03:51. > :03:53.morning. It happened at the junction between L'Ancresse and Chouet.
:03:54. > :03:55.Police are appealing for witnesses. There'll be a review into the
:03:56. > :03:58.problems facing some passengers booking weekend flights between
:03:59. > :04:01.Jersey and Guernsey. The competition watchdog is looking at the impact of
:04:02. > :04:05.the cost`cutting move by airlines Aurigny and Blue Islands to share
:04:06. > :04:09.inter`island services. 16 years after a review of financial
:04:10. > :04:12.services in Jersey recommended it, the island will have a financial
:04:13. > :04:15.ombudsman. The new post will judge complaints about financial services
:04:16. > :04:23.and have the power to award compensation up to ?150,000.
:04:24. > :04:26.We all know having a healthy lifestyle and getting exercise is
:04:27. > :04:29.something we should do but a new campaign in Guernsey is raising
:04:30. > :04:31.awareness of why it could help prevent bowel cancer. It's the
:04:32. > :04:35.Island's third most common cancer. With around 40 to 45 new cases a
:04:36. > :04:39.year. Latest research shows your chances of getting it could be
:04:40. > :04:44.halved if you're a healthy weight. Penny Elderfield reports.
:04:45. > :04:53.A lot of these. Plenty of this.
:04:54. > :04:56.And five volunteers. And I'm one of them. Over the next 30 days I've
:04:57. > :05:00.been challenged to stick to a diet and exercise plan to try out the
:05:01. > :05:02.changes you can make to your lifestyle to reduce your chances of
:05:03. > :05:06.getting bowel cancer. Research shows if you're a healthy
:05:07. > :05:16.weight your chances of getting it are halved. So let's start with
:05:17. > :05:21.exercise. The most important thing is that they almost learn to enjoy
:05:22. > :05:26.exercise. It is spring so it is time to get out and start enjoying the
:05:27. > :05:29.cliff paths we have around here. Go to walk and time yourself and get
:05:30. > :05:37.into with yourself. And it's about combining that with a
:05:38. > :05:43.healthy diet. We are looking at the amount of red meat in your diet.
:05:44. > :05:47.Avoiding processed meat, reducing alcohol and increasing fibrous
:05:48. > :05:52.foods. Fruits and vegetables, whole grains and pulses. Through lifestyle
:05:53. > :05:56.changes and changes to your diet 43% of bowel cancers can be prevented
:05:57. > :06:00.every year so that is an important message to get out there. If you
:06:01. > :06:06.have a healthier lifestyle you eat well and you feel a lot better. That
:06:07. > :06:09.will benefit you, obviously. So I'd better get on with it. And
:06:10. > :06:13.the charities behind this are hoping more of public will join me in
:06:14. > :06:17.having a healthy April. A line of sports news and Guernsey
:06:18. > :06:27.FC drew 1`1 tonight. They were away to Hythe town in the Ryman League
:06:28. > :06:31.South. Your BBC local radio station is back
:06:32. > :06:34.on air tomorrow morning and now I will leave you with the weather.
:06:35. > :06:39.will Good evening. We have had 18 degrees
:06:40. > :06:44.today. Not quite as warm tomorrow but a bit more cloud. The
:06:45. > :06:48.possibility of a few showers dotted around. Still sunshine, particularly
:06:49. > :06:52.around the middle of the day. At the moment we are dry but some showers
:06:53. > :06:57.are heading our way to night. Temperatures overnight will get down
:06:58. > :07:01.to between ten and 12 degrees. Showers will appear by dawn. They
:07:02. > :07:05.will be off and on through the morning but by mid morning and late
:07:06. > :07:10.morning the sunshine will be out and it will be a fine day. Another day
:07:11. > :07:16.with high temperatures. 15 degrees on the coast and 17 or 18 degrees
:07:17. > :07:20.inland, particularly for the larger islands. Wind from the south`east
:07:21. > :07:23.will be moderate and occasionally fresh. Onto the forecast for the
:07:24. > :07:30.rest of the week and we will see showery rain overnight. Bright and
:07:31. > :07:33.dry on Friday with a risk of showers on Saturday. In a second the full
:07:34. > :07:40.the afternoon. The outlook, rather cloudy with some rain on Thursday.
:07:41. > :07:46.Good evening. Before we get to the weather details, little bit about
:07:47. > :07:50.the pollution which we have been talking about in the weather reports
:07:51. > :07:54.over the last couple of days. The pollution levels actually during the
:07:55. > :07:59.course of Wednesday, tomorrow, will be very high across a large swathe
:08:00. > :08:04.of the country. A couple of reasons why this is happening. During today,
:08:05. > :08:08.high levels of pollution across parts of East Anglia but you can see
:08:09. > :08:12.how extensive it becomes tomorrow. One of the reasons this is happening
:08:13. > :08:15.is because of a light wind dragging pollution from here in our direction
:08:16. > :08:22.and on top of that, our own pollution from industry, industrial
:08:23. > :08:24.pollution, but by Thursday, the weather pattern will change so we
:08:25. > :08:32.think the pollution levels will tend to go down a little bit. Certainly
:08:33. > :08:38.by Thursday. On top of that, we also have the dust which has been driven
:08:39. > :08:45.in from the Sahara Desert so our cars are pretty grubby. That will
:08:46. > :08:46.continue for another couple of days. That leads to a high level
