:00:12. > :00:51.Extra investment and staff are being put towards helping Jersey's growing
:00:52. > :00:55.number of dementia patients. ?500,000 has been set aside for
:00:56. > :00:58.services this year and 16 new mental health professionals are being
:00:59. > :01:05.trained. The number of islanders with dementia is set to double in
:01:06. > :01:09.less than 30 years to about 3000. In a moment we'll hear from Ian Dyer,
:01:10. > :01:14.who's the director of services for older people in Jersey, but first
:01:15. > :01:18.Jen Smith reports. Janet Carlin cared for her dad until
:01:19. > :01:29.he was too ill to stay at home. For four and a half years she nursed him
:01:30. > :01:31.as dementia took hold. He was falling over all the time,
:01:32. > :01:38.especially at night when he got out of bed. If I left the room, he would
:01:39. > :01:43.panic, so he would follow me because he did not know what was going on.
:01:44. > :01:49.That was 24 hours a day, constant care. This graphic compares a
:01:50. > :01:52.healthy brain with one showing signs of dementia. It's a global problem
:01:53. > :01:58.and one that's particularly apparent in Jersey. Dementia is a term that
:01:59. > :02:02.refers to a number of conditions. They are all categorised by a
:02:03. > :02:05.progressive decline in cognitive functions. This is most often
:02:06. > :02:11.memory, but it can be other things, for example language or orientation
:02:12. > :02:14.in space. The island's health department says it's making dealing
:02:15. > :02:17.with dementia a priority due to the aging population. Janet hopes carers
:02:18. > :02:24.as well as patients will be considered. The people that helped
:02:25. > :02:28.me look after him were extremely good but I know they were very
:02:29. > :02:32.stretched. It must put a lot of strain on the people that care for
:02:33. > :02:35.the carers and people with dementia if they are under that kind of
:02:36. > :02:38.pressure. Half a million pounds has been set aside to improve services
:02:39. > :02:47.and fund more support. The race is on to make sure we're ready.
:02:48. > :02:52.Ian Dyer is the director of services for older people in Jersey. He's
:02:53. > :02:57.with me live now. We just heard in that report about extra staff and
:02:58. > :03:02.investment in Jersey. What will patients see and when will it come
:03:03. > :03:06.in? Patients will see more of the service we are currently provided.
:03:07. > :03:10.More access to community nurses, occupational therapists, to
:03:11. > :03:15.psychology. Resources start coming in probably about in October this
:03:16. > :03:17.year, so we are looking at an increment taste and planned starting
:03:18. > :03:24.now to get people in work for October. Are there any new roles
:03:25. > :03:27.being created? There will be roles that people can bring from outside
:03:28. > :03:33.the island. Consultant psychiatrists, we don't have many
:03:34. > :03:36.home`grown consultant grade doctors. Nurses, some may have trained
:03:37. > :03:44.locally but we will be looking to bring people from the island. And we
:03:45. > :03:48.have a bilingual caseworker, for example, so we will be employing
:03:49. > :03:54.somebody to work with the Portuguese community, so that we look at all
:03:55. > :03:59.issues within the society in Jersey. This is a growing problem in
:04:00. > :04:02.Jersey. Do you have the the Treasury Department for future investment
:04:03. > :04:08.when needed? Things have been positive so far. The white paper
:04:09. > :04:12.looked very much at the needs of the ageing population and community
:04:13. > :04:16.services supporting people in their own homes. We will see how things
:04:17. > :04:19.roll out and we will continue to review the work that we do to see
:04:20. > :04:23.what benefits people get from it. I am sure as we go through that
:04:24. > :04:33.review, we will feed back to the Treasury and other services to see
:04:34. > :04:36.any at future need. Thank you. It's a year this weekend since
:04:37. > :04:39.Guernsey woman Sarah Groves was murdered on a houseboat while
:04:40. > :04:43.travelling in India. The Kashmiri courts are yet to bring the killer
:04:44. > :04:46.to justice. The man accused of her murder, Dutchman Richard de Witt,
:04:47. > :04:49.denies all charges. Sarah's father Vic has told our reporter Mike
:04:50. > :04:56.Wilkins that the family's struggling to heal from the tragedy.
:04:57. > :05:02.It is coming up to one year since Sarah was killed. How has the year
:05:03. > :05:08.been for you and your family? Obviously the worst year of our
:05:09. > :05:16.lives. They say that time is a healer but it has not healed in any
:05:17. > :05:19.way and probably never will. You realise that you have a life to lead
:05:20. > :05:24.and you sort of have to get on with it but it is punctuated all the time
:05:25. > :05:29.and it is never a smooth flow because you are always coming up
:05:30. > :05:35.against the memory or the reality or the practicalities of the fact that
:05:36. > :05:41.we have lost somebody very near and dear. I can only imagine it has been
:05:42. > :05:51.very difficult one year on to not see justice being served. It hasn't
:05:52. > :05:59.and we are long way from knowing even if we get that. It is quite a
:06:00. > :06:04.concern to all of us. Although things are speeding up, and that has
:06:05. > :06:07.been pretty well publicised, that the one a month is moving to up to
:06:08. > :06:13.six witnesses a month, which is great, but we still need some pretty
:06:14. > :06:18.solid evidence against this guy because it is very circumspect,
:06:19. > :06:22.circumstantial. I don't think either of us, any of us, will rest until we
:06:23. > :06:29.know that the right person has been brought to justice. How will you and
:06:30. > :06:35.your family be marking one year on since Sarah's death? There is quite
:06:36. > :06:37.a lot going on on the island on Sunday and we are torn between the
:06:38. > :06:43.rights and wrongs of being here and not being here. We have decided that
:06:44. > :06:48.Guernsey can be a very small place and it is rather in our face at the
:06:49. > :06:54.moment so we are going to spend it together as a family in the
:06:55. > :06:59.Manchester area. I have been able to immerse myself in the foundation and
:07:00. > :07:03.many other things that are going on. The media and that type of
:07:04. > :07:12.thing. For Katie it is terrible. And enduring. How shall I say this? This
:07:13. > :07:18.is the pinnacle of emotion, this weekend, where we have just got to
:07:19. > :07:25.try and get through it. I am sure we will, but it will not be easy.
:07:26. > :07:29.The Latvian Ambassador to the UK says Guernsey needs to do more to
:07:30. > :07:32.improve the lives of Latvian people working in the island. Andris
:07:33. > :07:36.Teikmanis is in the bailiwick this week. He says both governments need
:07:37. > :07:39.to work together to improve pensions and work permits for Latvians in
:07:40. > :07:42.Guernsey. A trade union leader claims the
:07:43. > :07:45.States of Guernsey made guarantees that Sure's pension arrangements
:07:46. > :07:48.wouldn't change when it was sold off in 2002. That's the view of Martyn
:07:49. > :07:51.Priaulx from the Prospect union after the telecoms company decided
:07:52. > :07:54.to end its defined benefit pension scheme. Mr Priaulx says assurances
:07:55. > :08:01.were made to telecom staff about their pensions. We go back ten or 12
:08:02. > :08:05.years and we were given a lot of guarantees from the senior states
:08:06. > :08:10.people at the time that everything would continue. A shadow scheme
:08:11. > :08:14.exactly the same as we had before, and that was one of the big issues
:08:15. > :08:20.at the time of the take`over. This is the BBC in the Channel Islands.
:08:21. > :08:23.Coming up later in Spotlight: The iconic Dawlish railway is back in
:08:24. > :08:28.action but other areas fear they will not recover from the damage in
:08:29. > :08:32.time for summer. Howard Davis Park is in line to be
:08:33. > :08:36.the heart of the Island Games in Jersey next year. The venue on the
:08:37. > :08:39.edge of St Helier could stage the opening and closing ceremonies and
:08:40. > :08:44.host the Games village. Sophie Sulehria reports. And now we welcome
:08:45. > :08:47.Jersey! 1997 and this was the last opening
:08:48. > :08:53.ceremony for the Island Games in Jersey. Roll on almost 20 years and
:08:54. > :09:00.it would seem the most likely place may be here, at the Howard Davis
:09:01. > :09:05.Park for the next one. Howard Davis Park is clearly right in the frame.
:09:06. > :09:09.Yes, we are very keen to see if we can use the park. At the moment we
:09:10. > :09:12.have to wait for a lot of permission and clearly there are other people
:09:13. > :09:17.to take into account. The neighbours of the park not least. We will make
:09:18. > :09:21.a further announcement probably nearer to May or June, when we have
:09:22. > :09:25.made progress with the games themselves. All this week organisers
:09:26. > :09:32.have been inspecting Jersey ahead of the games and so far they are on
:09:33. > :09:41.schedule. Jersey is probably one of the earliest starters so far. In
:09:42. > :09:44.organisation and everything. About 3000 sportsmen and women are
:09:45. > :09:48.expected to come to Jersey for the event next year and organisers say
:09:49. > :09:51.the Island Games are set to be as big an event as the Winter Olympics
:09:52. > :10:04.in Sotchi. Sophie Sulehria, BBC Channel Islands News, Jersey.
:10:05. > :10:07.NCSC's Mackay is out of the squad following a metatarsal injury
:10:08. > :10:13.against Sittingbourne. There is full coverage of that match on BBC radio
:10:14. > :10:17.Guernsey from midday tomorrow. A sailor from Jersey is training in
:10:18. > :10:21.Plymouth as he prepares for the next leg of the gruelling La Solitaire du
:10:22. > :10:24.Figaro yacht race. Phil Sharp is competing alongside other top
:10:25. > :10:27.yachtsmen and women in the French sailing event and is hoping for a
:10:28. > :10:33.top ten finish. Edward Sault reports. Competitors say this race
:10:34. > :10:36.is more like a marathon than a sprint. It involves spending two to
:10:37. > :10:38.three nights at sea in the busiest shipping lanes with hardly any
:10:39. > :10:42.sleep. Phil Sharp from Jersey is one of nine Brits taking part in the
:10:43. > :10:48.gruelling race. He has been getting used to the waters he will be
:10:49. > :10:54.competing in. It has been very variable and at times a lot of wind
:10:55. > :11:01.and then sometimes none. Really Day two was the most intense. We were
:11:02. > :11:05.literally tacking all the way round. It is not the first time he has
:11:06. > :11:14.taken part in this prestigious competition. Here he is training in
:11:15. > :11:19.2011. On Plymouth Sound, Phil Sharp has been alongside other British and
:11:20. > :11:22.foreign sailors getting to grips with the waters. For us this part of
:11:23. > :11:28.the world are second nature but they are long way from home. That the
:11:29. > :11:36.next stop of the first leg will be in Plymouth is something that has
:11:37. > :11:39.pleased him. They can put on a good show for the Solitaire and these
:11:40. > :11:46.waters are interesting to navigate which makes for exciting sailing.
:11:47. > :11:49.The Solitaire will arrive in Britain on the 7th of June and there are
:11:50. > :11:57.hopes that Phil Sharp will make a podium position. Good luck.
:11:58. > :12:00.Over 120 digital entrepreneurs from around the world are in Jersey
:12:01. > :12:02.tonight. Innovate Jersey is designed to showcase some of the latest
:12:03. > :12:05.demonstrations of innovative technology, like this drone which
:12:06. > :12:09.can create scale models of buildings by taking photos. The island is
:12:10. > :12:17.hoping to be a gateway for digital companies in the future. Speaking of
:12:18. > :12:20.design and innovation, A St Peter Port beer garden has been named
:12:21. > :12:23.Guernsey's favourite new building. The Prince of Wales garden won the
:12:24. > :12:28.small project and people's choice categories at last night's Guernsey
:12:29. > :12:33.Design Awards. Considering what it was and what they have turned it
:12:34. > :12:38.into, because it was a dingy old car park beforehand, and then to have
:12:39. > :12:41.turned it into something like this, not only that but the way they have
:12:42. > :12:46.done it and the atmosphere they have created here as well. Let's see if
:12:47. > :12:53.it is whether for the beer garden this weekend. Good evening. Compared
:12:54. > :12:58.to last weekend, it is rather grey and cloudy across the islands with
:12:59. > :13:02.some rain in the forecast. That is a summary of the weekend, misty. Or
:13:03. > :13:06.persistent rain likely on Sunday and also the winds picked up, so a real
:13:07. > :13:11.change to what we have seen recently. Back to maritime power and
:13:12. > :13:16.winds from the Atlantic bringing moisture. This first weather system
:13:17. > :13:20.will come in just before dawn tomorrow morning and then the rest
:13:21. > :13:27.of the date is misty with drizzle. More rain coming our way moving into
:13:28. > :13:32.Saturday and Sunday. Sunday will have more persistent rain and it
:13:33. > :13:36.will not really ease. Overnight, some clear skies, but they will
:13:37. > :13:40.cloud over after midnight and towards dawn, the rain sets in. It
:13:41. > :13:44.will be across most of us first thing tomorrow morning with
:13:45. > :13:48.overnight temperatures no lower than about nine. Tomorrow, the rain band
:13:49. > :13:53.will peter out for a time but never too far away will be the odd shower
:13:54. > :13:56.of drizzle and light rain. Misty conditions towards the end of the
:13:57. > :14:03.day with hill fog. Temperatures quite muddy feeling with up to 14
:14:04. > :14:06.degrees. Winds mainly from the South. These are the coastal waters
:14:07. > :14:27.forecast: With southerly winds, the northern
:14:28. > :14:32.coasts of Guernsey should have clean surf. It picks up in the second half
:14:33. > :14:37.of the weekend. The outlook is more persistent rain on Sunday and sadly
:14:38. > :14:42.also on Monday. Both days will be cloudy, breezy with outbreaks of
:14:43. > :14:46.rain. Not cold, with 14 the top temperature, with sunshine coming
:14:47. > :14:52.back out on Tuesday and Monday. Have a lovely weekend. Some sunshine for
:14:53. > :14:58.the weekend is what we like to see, mixed in with showers, sadly. I will
:14:59. > :15:02.be back at eight o'clock and 10:25pm this evening. BBC radio Jersey and
:15:03. > :15:06.Guernsey will be on air from 6am on Saturday and Sunday with the weekend

:15:09. > :15:16.the rest of Spotlight. of the news and sport.
:15:17. > :15:19.Dawlish, of course, wasn't the only place affected by the storms.
:15:20. > :15:23.Millions of pounds worth of damage was caused as the South West was
:15:24. > :15:26.battered by high winds and high tides. Repair work is underway, but
:15:27. > :15:29.as the crucial Easter tourism season gets underway there are concerns
:15:30. > :15:34.about where all the money will come from. In a moment I'll be speaking
:15:35. > :15:45.to Malcolm Bell from Visit Cornwall about the impact and the future, but
:15:46. > :15:51.first Tamsin Melville reports. Cornwall felt the full force of the
:15:52. > :15:58.winter storms. The waves left behind millions of pounds worth of damage.
:15:59. > :16:02.The Penzance area was particularly badly hit. The faces on to get it
:16:03. > :16:10.patched up as the rail into Cornwell reopens. Economic Lee speaking, it
:16:11. > :16:15.says Cornwell is open for business and business is good. But that is an
:16:16. > :16:21.awful lot of work to do besides that to make sure Cornwell is well
:16:22. > :16:25.presented for the summer. Temporary jobs have been going on across the
:16:26. > :16:30.country. But permanent jobs are also crucial. It could top ?21 million.
:16:31. > :16:38.That is concerned with all this cash will come from. We have had no money
:16:39. > :16:47.from the government at the moment. We haven't about 1 million pounds
:16:48. > :16:55.from a friend and ?1 million from an emergency fund. For those waiting to
:16:56. > :17:04.hear where fans will come from, it is an anxious time. It is important
:17:05. > :17:12.that this facility is opened again as a tourist attraction. What are
:17:13. > :17:19.the visitors think when they see it in this state this summer? The
:17:20. > :17:22.council says it is in daily conversations with ministers. It
:17:23. > :17:26.says Cornwell is open for business. Malcolm Bell is with me now. Great
:17:27. > :17:36.news about the rail link but can tourism recover from the impact? We
:17:37. > :17:41.are still on the recovery. The great news is that the railway line is
:17:42. > :17:46.open two weeks earlier which gives us a full run for Easter. People
:17:47. > :17:56.will be curious about the damage. They will want to see that appeared
:17:57. > :18:03.pretty quickly. People will realise the storms were recent. We're hoping
:18:04. > :18:08.to be tidied up and back to itself in summer. How concerned are you
:18:09. > :18:20.about the amount of repair work that still needs to be done? Every delay
:18:21. > :18:23.knocks everything else on. The same sort of urgency that has done a
:18:24. > :18:27.brilliant job at Dawlish needs to happen to finish off the job and
:18:28. > :18:30.finish of the recovery. We see pictures of the Jubilee Pool locked
:18:31. > :18:42.up in Penzance. It's not a good advert. Martin was right when he
:18:43. > :18:48.said people were not becoming back they will be hoping to see it back
:18:49. > :18:56.to normal. Will visitors want to return if half the places they love
:18:57. > :19:00.aren't accessible? The curiosity will be a get out of jail card but
:19:01. > :19:15.then they will want to see it back to normal. What should be done? We
:19:16. > :19:21.are working with the council. Councils can then negotiate with
:19:22. > :19:29.government. The pressure is on and Cornwell can be a focal place at
:19:30. > :19:31.times. People are shouting loud. Princess Anne has sparked
:19:32. > :19:38.controversy by suggesting badgers should be gassed. In a BBC interview
:19:39. > :19:43.to be shown this weekend, she says gassing would be the most humane way
:19:44. > :19:47.to eradicate badgers. In the 1970s cyanide was pumped into sets, but it
:19:48. > :19:55.was later banned after scientists concluded it was not humane. Gas is
:19:56. > :20:00.a much nicer way of doing it, if that is not a silly expression. It
:20:01. > :20:03.is because of the way it works. They go to sleep.
:20:04. > :20:06.And you can see more of that interview on BBC One's Countryfile
:20:07. > :20:08.Programme this Sunday evening at 7pm.
:20:09. > :20:12.One of the main roads into Truro was closed for much of the day after a
:20:13. > :20:15.huge diesel spillage. A combine harvester leaked around seven
:20:16. > :20:18.hundred litres of fuel onto the A390. Maintenance staff hope they
:20:19. > :20:23.have managed to avoid having to re`surface the road.
:20:24. > :20:26.Sport and the question being asked is can Devon trainer David Pipe win
:20:27. > :20:29.his first Grand National in six years when the world's most famous
:20:30. > :20:33.Steeplechase graces Aintree racecourse tomorrow? His best priced
:20:34. > :20:38.horse this year is The Package at 33 to one. Pipe has two more horses in
:20:39. > :20:47.the event: Our Father and Swing Bill, but it's The Package who Pipe
:20:48. > :20:57.has high hopes for. He is in good form. I understand you have high
:20:58. > :21:03.hopes, Wiley? He jumps, he stays, that is what it takes to win the
:21:04. > :21:06.race. He won a cracking race at Cheltenham last time.
:21:07. > :21:10.Onto football and Yeovil face another vital match as they try to
:21:11. > :21:13.stay in the Championship tomorrow. They're six points from safety and
:21:14. > :21:17.need a win at Blackpool. In League Two, Plymouth Argyle could move to
:21:18. > :21:19.within a point of the play off places with victory at Burton.
:21:20. > :21:22.Torquay, who're seven points from safety are at home to Scunthorpe
:21:23. > :21:25.while Exeter City will virtually secure their League status if they
:21:26. > :21:28.beat Bury. Exeter Chiefs will carry rugby's
:21:29. > :21:32.Anglo`Welsh Cup in a victory parade through the city tomorrow. From two
:21:33. > :21:35.o'clock, they'll show off the trophy they won three weeks ago when they
:21:36. > :21:39.beat Northampton Saints at Sandy Park. The team and staff will go on
:21:40. > :21:42.an open top bus tour through the city centre.
:21:43. > :21:47.The route starts at Exeter City's St James Park ground, before proceeding
:21:48. > :21:50.to Bedford Square. After that, they'll be greeted by the Lord Mayor
:21:51. > :21:54.for a civic reception at the Guildhall. The team will then make
:21:55. > :21:59.its way back to St James Park. And there's live coverage on BBC Radio
:22:00. > :22:02.Devon from 2pm. If you're going along, don't forget
:22:03. > :22:06.to share your pictures of the Chiefs' big day on our Facebook page
:22:07. > :22:09.where you'll also find much more on the Grand National. That's all from
:22:10. > :22:11.me in the studio. I'll say goodbye and hand you back to Justin in
:22:12. > :22:21.Dawlish. Thank you very much indeed. I cannot
:22:22. > :22:27.quite describe the atmosphere here in Dawlish today. It has been a bit

:22:33. > :22:38.everywhere. The station has been freshly painted and there has been a
:22:39. > :22:42.lot of music. The flower boxes have been planted up by volunteers and
:22:43. > :22:50.they are looking fantastic. I saw someone with a sign that says we are
:22:51. > :22:56.back on track. After all the weather has thrown at this town in the last
:22:57. > :23:03.few months, on its big day the sun has been shining. What better advert
:23:04. > :23:08.for Dawlish than that field. Time for the weather.
:23:09. > :23:17.Good evening. It is like the Mediterranean along this coast
:23:18. > :23:20.line. Only a few weeks ago, this part of the coastline had huge
:23:21. > :23:29.waves. That is no way we could have been standing here with waves 20
:23:30. > :23:33.feet high. He horizon is clear. The then we saw yesterday has washed
:23:34. > :23:39.away all of the pollution and Sahara desert. Now we have sparkling
:23:40. > :23:44.visibility at the end of the day. This weekend, the weather will not
:23:45. > :23:53.be as kind. Letters start with a summary. More cloud coming in. A
:23:54. > :23:59.very cloudy weekend. Some outbreaks of rain. Misty conditions and
:24:00. > :24:08.relatively mild as well. The satellite picture shows the change
:24:09. > :24:20.as more rain approaches the coast. For many of us, we will see low
:24:21. > :24:30.temperatures. One weather front is poised to move in. That will have
:24:31. > :24:36.moved in by tomorrow. By midday on Sunday, a change in the weather
:24:37. > :24:42.pattern. We will continue to see a lot of cloud and outbreaks of rain.
:24:43. > :24:51.Even by Monday, there is still some rain around. But fine weather
:24:52. > :25:02.overnight into Tuesday. You can see that is a lot of clear skies at the
:25:03. > :25:04.moment. But it does not last. That is the forecast this evening. Cloud
:25:05. > :25:10.increasing and outbreaks of rain coming in as well. The cloud will
:25:11. > :25:17.gradually spill in and cover most of us by the end of the night.
:25:18. > :25:22.Overnight temperatures back up to nine or 10 degrees by first light
:25:23. > :25:28.tomorrow morning. Outbreaks of rain on Saturday. Maybe some coastal
:25:29. > :25:38.fog. Certainly a lot of hill fog around. Some breakfast trying to get
:25:39. > :25:45.through. It is not a cold day despite the cloud and rain. It is
:25:46. > :25:53.always cooler on the coast. That is the forecast. Generally a lot of
:25:54. > :25:58.clout around for the Isles of Scilly.
:25:59. > :26:06.If you are heading for the beach, the safe is picking up. Conditions
:26:07. > :26:11.have been poor for the last week or so. But we should see up to four
:26:12. > :26:15.feet and a little bit choppy on the north coast. Similar conditions on
:26:16. > :26:16.the south coast with even bigger waves by the time we get into
:26:17. > :26:35.Sunday. The outlook is for Sunday to be wet.
:26:36. > :26:40.Outbreaks of rain. Every time we get to Monday, we were still have that
:26:41. > :26:44.weather front close by. It gets better by the time we get to
:26:45. > :26:48.Tuesday. From a beautiful Mediterranean type evening, it is
:26:49. > :26:58.back to you Justin on the railway line. Today is the start of a new
:26:59. > :27:02.era for this railway line which first opened 160 years ago. That
:27:03. > :27:09.promises tonight that the repaired sections will last for 200 years.
:27:10. > :27:29.For now, the south`west is back on track. Good night.
:27:30. > :27:39.It is hard to imagine that could have caused so much damage to this
:27:40. > :27:45.line. Welcome to Dawlish. Let's hear it for them! The emergency services,
:27:46. > :27:47.let's hear it for them! It is quite emotional, all the people on the
