:00:19. > :00:24.to the inquiry set up to help them. It is going to be a big ask to

:00:29. > :00:34.Also, why it could be another six months before meat can be exported

:00:46. > :00:58.snapshot of liberation. There's a warning that victims of
:00:59. > :01:03.abuse in Jersey won't want to give evidence to the inquiry set up to
:01:04. > :01:07.help them. The States agreed to hold this inquiry last year. And, today,
:01:08. > :01:10.the independent panel running it set out how it will work. It'll look
:01:11. > :01:14.into allegations of abuse dating back from the end of the Second
:01:15. > :01:15.World War, with a particular focus on the 1960s onwards. Jen Smith
:01:16. > :01:22.reports. It's seven years since Jersey hit
:01:23. > :01:27.the headlines, amid allegations of child abuse within its care system.
:01:28. > :01:33.Police investigations led to seven successful prosecutions. But some
:01:34. > :01:36.victims' groups felt they hadn't had justice or closure. Today, an
:01:37. > :01:45.inquiry was launched to provide both. And how you can contribute to
:01:46. > :01:48.that process. We want to hear from anyone who feels they have
:01:49. > :01:51.information relevant to this enquiry.
:01:52. > :01:56.Carrie Modral speaks for victims of abuse in Jersey. She's cautiously
:01:57. > :02:01.optimistic about what she heard. It went well, but there is a lot to
:02:02. > :02:05.digests. We have to think about it and how it will affect everything.
:02:06. > :02:08.Today's meeting revealed the inquiry will be run in three phases.
:02:09. > :02:11.Firstly, the panel will hear from witnesses. And that's anyone who was
:02:12. > :02:16.involved in care in Jersey in anyway. Secondly, what happened when
:02:17. > :02:27.the allegations of abuse came to light. And thirdly, what went wrong.
:02:28. > :02:31.But there's worry the key to this inquiry, those who were abused,
:02:32. > :02:35.won't want to talk. It will be a big ask to ask them once again to
:02:36. > :02:41.recount their experiences in care. They will have to be persuaded that
:02:42. > :02:45.there is going to be a positive benefit by doing so.
:02:46. > :02:50.Frances Oldham QC said: "Everyone will have a perspective, and the
:02:51. > :02:54.inquiry wants to hear it." But she also made clear anyone wanting to do
:02:55. > :02:59.so anonymously will have to go through a process. And care leavers
:03:00. > :03:03.say that's what's worrying. There's no date yet for the start of the
:03:04. > :03:06.inquiry. But, at least how it'll work is a little clearer.
:03:07. > :03:09.Guernsey's Environment Minister says the island's Treasury needs to
:03:10. > :03:12.release more money to fix broken sea defences, and is warning of dire
:03:13. > :03:16.consequences if it doesn't. Damage to sea defences at Vazon and Fermain
:03:17. > :03:19.has exceeded the department's budget for repairs. The minister now says
:03:20. > :03:23.his department needs almost ?2 million to protect the island.
:03:24. > :03:30.Deputy Roger Domaille admits there's only so much that can realistically
:03:31. > :03:38.be done. It is worth stressing that the
:03:39. > :03:42.strategy that has been agreed is for rising sea levels. The overtopping
:03:43. > :03:47.we have had is not something that, frankly, we could ever stop because
:03:48. > :03:49.the walls would have to be another 30 feet high in some cases. We have
:03:50. > :03:55.to be realistic about this. The UK supermarket chain Costcutter
:03:56. > :03:58.has confirmed it will take over 18 stores in Jersey, including two
:03:59. > :04:01.garages and four post offices. It means rebranding shops which have
:04:02. > :04:05.been run by Spar in the past, including this one on Union Street
:04:06. > :04:06.in St Helier. Costcutter will sell its own brand food, as well as
:04:07. > :04:11.established brands. Jersey's government has laid out its
:04:12. > :04:14.policy for the island's biggest industry. The financial sector
:04:15. > :04:17.employs more than 12,000 people in Jersey, and two in every ?5 in the
:04:18. > :04:20.island's economy comes from the industry. Today's policy looks at
:04:21. > :04:24.securing the future of those jobs, and the money they bring in. It
:04:25. > :04:27.could see changes to the financial regulator, and looking to Africa to
:04:28. > :04:41.attract new business. Louise Walter explains. Be in no doubt, we are a
:04:42. > :04:44.government for growth. It was with confidence the Chief and
:04:45. > :04:47.Treasury Ministers set out their policy for their biggest industry.
:04:48. > :04:50.Their biggest change? The possibility of working with banks
:04:51. > :04:55.not listed in the world's top 500, previously the island's policy, and
:04:56. > :05:01.working with developing countries. Yes, Tanzania, Nigeria, despite all
:05:02. > :05:04.of the issues, it is a country which Even with the complex issues that
:05:05. > :05:10.surround them. Has significant wealth. In a globalised world, you
:05:11. > :05:16.cannot beat isolationist, which is why we must partner with key,
:05:17. > :05:20.growing, quality African countries, in the Middle East, producing huge
:05:21. > :05:27.amounts of resources. We have two secure some of that business the
:05:28. > :05:30.jersey. `` for Jersey. Legislation
:05:31. > :05:35.surrounding the island's regulator will also be looked at, more than 15
:05:36. > :05:40.years after they came in. The world has significantly changed
:05:41. > :05:48.since then. We need to review the law, to make sure everything is fit
:05:49. > :05:51.for the New World. There was little other solid detail in the framework,
:05:52. > :05:54.deliberately so, according to the man who wrote it. But, despite that,
:05:55. > :05:57.the framework was welcomed by Jersey Finance.
:05:58. > :06:00.I think it brings a sense of clarity, commitment, that we are
:06:01. > :06:03.open for business. The States of Jersey hope the
:06:04. > :06:05.framework will not only grow the industry, but the revenues finance

:06:13. > :06:16.The ?1.7 million abattoir opened last year. But a few snagging issues
:06:17. > :06:19.remain, preventing the facility from being fully licensed to meet EU

:06:28. > :06:37.cute. But, for Ben, they represent his livelihood.. And it's a busy
:06:38. > :06:44.time of the year. We have been into our third week of
:06:45. > :06:47.lambing. 150 lambs. There is light at the end of the tunnel with 20
:06:48. > :06:50.left to go. With demand for local meat, this is
:06:51. > :06:53.where most of them will end up. Guernsey's new abattoir, which
:06:54. > :06:58.opened last year. At the beginning, things were a bit
:06:59. > :07:04.higgledy`piggledy the way things were done. But now, they really seem
:07:05. > :07:08.to have got the hang of it. Last week we sent in more lambs and we
:07:09. > :07:15.have and they have coped really well.
:07:16. > :07:17.The new slaughterhouse is now pretty much fully operational, and able to
:07:18. > :07:21.deal with older cattle. There's already more local meat on the
:07:22. > :07:25.market. But the option of exporting it is still off the table, because
:07:26. > :07:27.of a few issues that need to be addressed.
:07:28. > :07:29.We are still working with the food business operator on policies and

:07:49. > :07:52.can be approved. But the export option is one that Commerce and
:07:53. > :07:56.Employment is keen to pursue. It opens up opportunities for them.
:07:57. > :08:01.These will be commercial decisions but we don't know whether they will
:08:02. > :08:07.be able to produce, to sell locally produced meat on the island. But
:08:08. > :08:11.it's an opportunity local farmers could have to wait another three to

:08:35. > :08:37.Islanders. Now, a new exhibition captures how we celebrate Liberation
:08:38. > :08:39.Day. Photographer Martin Parr has collated images of the festivities
:08:40. > :08:43.in Guernsey and Jersey, spanning several decades. Today, some of the
:08:44. > :08:45.stars of the photos went to take a look, and they told our reporter

:09:05. > :09:13.celebrated liberation day every year here. These are pictures of St
:09:14. > :09:21.Helier. We survivors look forward to this party particularly. This one is
:09:22. > :09:26.a dance held at the Merton H. It is a dinner dance to celebrate
:09:27. > :09:34.liberation. Also a most enjoyable evening. That is a beautiful picture
:09:35. > :09:38.of the party at the town Hall. It wasn't just the island which
:09:39. > :09:47.captured his heart. On liberation Day, I met my wife. As soon as I
:09:48. > :09:51.could, I returned and proposed. I always like to think I was the only
:09:52. > :10:01.one who wasn't liberated on liberation day! Today, both the
:10:02. > :10:07.liberated and the liberators met to look around the exhibition. When we
:10:08. > :10:12.saw you, we really had to feel you to believe it was true, it was
:10:13. > :10:18.real, it wasn't a mirage. I remember it well. The pictures, taken in
:10:19. > :10:22.Jersey and Guernsey, focus on celebrations held on the islands
:10:23. > :10:26.over the past few years. For Eric and others who were there, it's a
:10:27. > :10:33.chance to remember, and ensure that younger generations never forget.
:10:34. > :10:39.That exhibition runs until the 11th of May at the Jersey Museum.
:10:40. > :10:53.Hello. What a horrible day today, I got soaked earlier. We have had a
:10:54. > :10:55.knot of rain but that has moved out of the way.
:10:56. > :11:01.Tomorrow promises a much brighter day. We will get some sunshine as
:11:02. > :11:08.well. Patchy cloud, some sunshine, just a fresher feel. After the
:11:09. > :11:15.stories of pollution, the rain we have seen today will certainly help
:11:16. > :11:21.wash out that Saharan dust. Cloud has developed across parts of France
:11:22. > :11:26.and the UK. We are moving into a clearer slots which we will see
:11:27. > :11:32.overnight. This weather system may bring us some rain overnight. Into
:11:33. > :11:38.the small hours of Saturday morning. Just a few showers. The wet weather
:11:39. > :11:44.is reserved into the weekend. Saturday is cloudy, Sunday,
:11:45. > :11:52.persistent rain. In more detail, you can see the islands, this is the
:11:53. > :11:55.clearer sky further west. Not necessarily clear or night. There is
:11:56. > :12:00.a little bit of mist which will probably be first thing tomorrow
:12:01. > :12:05.morning making it great, with temperatures around nine degrees.
:12:06. > :12:10.Tomorrow morning, not too bright a start. The low cloud should move out
:12:11. > :12:15.of the way and we should get some sunshine in the afternoon. Quite
:12:16. > :12:23.pleasant. The winds from the west. Possibly 15 degrees will be the top
:12:24. > :12:26.figure. That is the forecast for the coastal waters. Visibility improves
:12:27. > :12:33.through the day. Showers are possible. The winds are
:12:34. > :12:34.south`westerly. Generally good visibility. Here are the times of
:12:35. > :12:50.high water. And for the surfers, it picks up at
:12:51. > :12:56.the weekend. Saturday, a cloudy day. There might
:12:57. > :13:01.be a few showers. The wet weather returns on Sunday and Monday. Have a
:13:02. > :13:14.nice evening. also be live there in the evening
:13:15. > :13:17.with a round up of the day's events, including a report from onboard one

:13:30. > :13:35.A group of fishermen in Torbay are asking for greater control for

:13:44. > :13:48.minister. A submerged vessel draped in fishing
:13:49. > :13:53.net. Lost or snagged on the sea bed, no one will haul in this catch. It
:13:54. > :13:57.is a problem associated with wreck fishing with nets. The men who use
:13:58. > :14:06.rod and line is say something needs to be done. Too many nets are lost
:14:07. > :14:11.on the wrecks. They fish ghost fish for up to two years afterwards. We
:14:12. > :14:17.catch Pollock that are caught in the nets damaged or injured and are a
:14:18. > :14:26.lot of issues `` we catch Pollock and cod. One minister was in bricks
:14:27. > :14:33.and among the concerns was the amount of nets on wreck sites. They
:14:34. > :14:39.catch tonnes and tonnes of fish and when they are full of spawn in the
:14:40. > :14:45.breeding season, which crashes the price for arts, it makes it unviable
:14:46. > :14:50.for us. Sometimes line and rod fishing is the most sustainable way.
:14:51. > :14:54.Places like the Channel Islands have banned the use of wreck netting but
:14:55. > :15:00.it has been used for many years and, done the right way, can have a
:15:01. > :15:04.reduced impact on the environment. There are two sides of the argument
:15:05. > :15:08.but I shall discuss it with officials.
:15:09. > :15:13.The men who fished commercially by rod and line say they would like to
:15:14. > :15:17.work with the fishermen who use nets and the Minister.

:15:44. > :15:47.training to complete `` compete in the La Solitaire du Figaro for the
:15:48. > :15:55.first time and is just one of nine Brits competing. These waters I
:15:56. > :16:01.recognise. It is a great honour and to have it coming to Plymouth, it is
:16:02. > :16:05.a big event `` event. Competitors say this is more like a marathon
:16:06. > :16:13.than a sprint as you have to spend two or three nights at sea. Each of
:16:14. > :16:18.these legs involves sailing hundreds of miles single`handedly. The first
:16:19. > :16:29.stop will be Plymouth and today, French and British competitors were
:16:30. > :16:34.getting to grips with local waters. I am hearing that they are very
:16:35. > :16:39.happy to have done this exercise, even though it has been long, they
:16:40. > :16:46.have learnt a lot. They are a long way from home. It is the first time
:16:47. > :16:50.a large number of Brits have competed in the La Solitaire du
:16:51. > :16:55.Figaro. A large number of identical boats competing in Plymouth Sound is
:16:56. > :17:02.likely to attract a large number of spectators. We look forward to
:17:03. > :17:10.encouraging this and other events. For those like Sam, hopes remain
:17:11. > :17:16.high. The training in France is really good and I have been sailing
:17:17. > :17:18.quite well against them. The race fleet will arrive, weather
:17:19. > :17:32.permitting, on the 11th of June. A writing hut used by one of the

:18:11. > :18:19.When I was writing these five novels, I was in the hat. Very often
:18:20. > :18:23.for 36 hours. It is a real time capsule. Everything from his

:18:31. > :18:40.he would sleep. And then his writing chair and desk where he penned Tarka
:18:41. > :18:45.the Otter. This is where he wrote. Here is his writing book and here
:18:46. > :18:47.are his glasses. Incredible! Most people sense an atmosphere
:18:48. > :18:51.immediately when they come here for the first time. They say it is
:18:52. > :18:56.almost as if Henry Williamson had just walked out of the room. The
:18:57. > :19:02.author's private studio a few yards away is also being sold. Williamson
:19:03. > :19:09.built it himself and it was here he spent much of his time. `` built for
:19:10. > :19:14.Williamson. It is filled with his possessions and kept just as he left

:19:18. > :19:22.far`flung places and are getting to a certain age, like all of us, and
:19:23. > :19:27.the ability to get on top of it and maintain it has got a bit much.
:19:28. > :19:33.Sadly, from their point of view, the time has come. The hut and studio go
:19:34. > :19:37.under the hammer towards the end of next month and it is hoped the buyer
:19:38. > :19:46.will keep things just the way they are.
:19:47. > :19:53.It is only when you see the archive film that you realise very little

:21:08. > :21:12.outlets is great. They renamed this event because it is not just film
:21:13. > :21:18.and television any more. There is a radio category and there is even a
:21:19. > :21:34.category for iPhone apps. This is one of the entry. Walkabout Saint
:21:35. > :21:41.Ives tells you where you are. It is a great way of sharing. Why is
:21:42. > :21:49.having it here in Cornwall so exciting? Well, we are one of the
:21:50. > :21:55.smaller Celtic countries but we have such a range of things going on with
:21:56. > :22:03.fantastic film`makers etc. It is great to showcase that to the rest
:22:04. > :22:10.of the countries. The festival in St Ives continues tomorrow.
:22:11. > :22:17.Now onto the next generation of film`makers. A group of young

:22:46. > :22:52.Studios. This class made the film. Rather than me tell you, I think the
:22:53. > :22:57.film`makers should make the film. Hi. We made this film to get the
:22:58. > :23:04.message across that marine pollution is getting on our beaches and we
:23:05. > :23:14.want to stop it. It is also hurting the animals and it is not nice to
:23:15. > :23:19.see. Why did you enter as? It was about raising awareness and creating
:23:20. > :23:23.solutions. We felt it was an issue important to all of us and it gave
:23:24. > :23:31.you the opportunity to develop your filming, directing and editing
:23:32. > :23:37.skills. We need you... To be a Marine hero! I enjoyed it because I
:23:38. > :23:45.was saving marine life and I really like reptiles. How hard was it to
:23:46. > :23:51.make the film? It was quite hard because it was cold and windy and it
:23:52. > :23:58.took time. It comes from all over the world. The competition was for
:23:59. > :24:01.students aged seven to 18 and they now have the opportunity to travel
:24:02. > :24:07.to Germany to see all the other champions. We also one this. And we
:24:08. > :24:20.beat the secondaries! Congratulations to them.
:24:21. > :24:26.Some top talent. Talking of which, here's David!
:24:27. > :24:36.Good evening. Tomorrow is a much better day. Some brief sunshine.
:24:37. > :24:44.Quite a lot of cloud which may generate a lot of cloud but on the
:24:45. > :24:52.whole it is a dry day. Lots of cloud on the satellite picture at the
:24:53. > :24:58.moment though. It is across France. Clear sky further west is heading
:24:59. > :25:02.for us and that is already happening across parts of Cornwall. This
:25:03. > :25:07.weather system has our name on it for overnight tomorrow night and
:25:08. > :25:15.Saturday so expect a change on Saturday. Cloudy with some outbreaks
:25:16. > :25:20.of rain at the weekend, which looks quite unsettled. Make the most of
:25:21. > :25:24.the bright weather tomorrow. The clearance across Cornwall will spill
:25:25. > :25:29.across the rest of us tonight. Some misty patch is here and there and
:25:30. > :25:38.some cloud generating rain over the moors. A colder night than we have
:25:39. > :25:43.seen recently. Tomorrow morning we wake up to some mist and low cloud
:25:44. > :25:48.but the sunshine will work through that and dry for much of the day.
:25:49. > :25:55.Some showers possible but they will be fleeting and not heavy. Thicker
:25:56. > :26:00.cloud approaching the far west of Cornwall in the evening and winds
:26:01. > :26:10.are South or south`westerly. A fresher feel to the air tomorrow.
:26:11. > :26:16.For the Isles of Scilly, here are some of the best weather across the
:26:17. > :26:23.whole of the country, in fact. Some rain in the evening but for much of
:26:24. > :26:25.the morning, it is fine with pleasant sunshine and light winds
:26:26. > :26:44.from the South or Southwest. The surf will pick up this weekend.
:26:45. > :26:47.Not particularly big tomorrow but it will get bigger at the weekend as
:26:48. > :27:04.the wind increases. Not a promising outlook. Saturday is
:27:05. > :27:10.cloudy with some showers. On Sunday, we are likely to see more persistent
:27:11. > :27:17.rain and it will becoming creasing Lee windy. Back to our unsettled
:27:18. > :27:21.theme with a maritime air, so no air pollution but outbreaks of rain will
:27:22. > :27:25.continue on Monday. Tuesday and Wednesday, though, high pressure
:27:26. > :27:26.comes back to settle things down and research `` should see sunshine
:27:27. > :27:37.again. That's it from us. I will be in
:27:38. > :27:42.Dawlish tomorrow night. BBC coverage of the day 's Dawlish events against
:27:43. > :27:45.tomorrow morning on BBC Radio Devon. From all of us here, have a
:27:46. > :27:48.good night. Bye`bye.
