Good evening. The top storids: The new drive to get people on long term | :00:12. | :00:16. | |
benefits back to work in Guernsey. It means changes to doctors' sick | :00:17. | :00:19. | |
notes and islanders made to do compulsory work placements. | :00:20. | :00:22. | |
Meanwhile, in Jersey, the Government is promising to pay employers to | :00:23. | :00:26. | |
take on young people who have been out of a job for at least shx | :00:27. | :00:28. | |
months. It will cost over ?600,000 months. It will cost over ?600, 00 | :00:29. | :00:35. | |
in taxpayers' money. And excitement builds as Olympic diver Tom Daley is | :00:36. | :00:37. | |
to bring the Commonwealth G`mes to bring the Commonwealth Games | :00:38. | :00:40. | |
baton to Jersey as it reachds British soil. | :00:41. | :00:51. | |
He is young, he is popular, he is good`looking, he is on TV a lot | :00:52. | :01:03. | |
There's a new drive to get Guernsey people on low incomes who receive | :01:04. | :01:06. | |
people on low incomes who rdceive top`up benefits into work. Carers, | :01:07. | :01:08. | |
single parent families and anyone single parent families and `nyone | :01:09. | :01:11. | |
with a short term illness whll be among those affected. Under the | :01:12. | :01:15. | |
Progress to Work scheme, unveiled by social security today, job seekers | :01:16. | :01:18. | |
will have to attend regular work`focused meetings, do | :01:19. | :01:19. | |
compulsory, unpaid work placements, and there'll be changes to doctors' | :01:20. | :01:28. | |
sick notes. Emma Chambers reports. A normal lunchtime on Guernsey's | :01:29. | :01:32. | |
high street. But for those receiving supplementary benefits, it's the | :01:33. | :01:35. | |
first day of a new project to get them back into work. The social | :01:36. | :01:40. | |
security department have today launched the Progress to Work | :01:41. | :01:44. | |
scheme. It's a scheme which involves attending mandatory meetings to get | :01:45. | :01:45. | |
the unemployed ready for the work the unemployed ready for the work | :01:46. | :01:49. | |
place ` and if they don't, they could incur a penalty. | :01:50. | :01:56. | |
I have experience of working with job`seekers. They are happy to | :01:57. | :02:00. | |
engage in the process because they want to get back to work. We | :02:01. | :02:03. | |
engage in the process because they want to get back to work. Wd expect | :02:04. | :02:03. | |
want to get back to work. We expect to have the same approach whth the | :02:04. | :02:05. | |
to have the same approach with the other customers as well. Thhs is | :02:06. | :02:07. | |
other customers as well. This is about offering support. For those | :02:08. | :02:11. | |
not ready yet, it is about getting the right support in place so they | :02:12. | :02:14. | |
can return to work when they are can return to work when thex are | :02:15. | :02:16. | |
able to. Those on incapacity benefits are | :02:17. | :02:19. | |
also being targeted. The wax they are assessed is being reviewed. | :02:20. | :02:26. | |
That will be looking at how we support and help people with health | :02:27. | :02:27. | |
problems in work, and how we help problems in work, and how wd help | :02:28. | :02:32. | |
people with health problems return to work. The way we would do that is | :02:33. | :02:36. | |
to look at the obstacles that there may be preventing people from | :02:37. | :02:40. | |
returning to work, and try to support them obstacles to bd broken | :02:41. | :02:44. | |
support them obstacles to be broken down. | :02:45. | :02:46. | |
Every government would like to bring their welfare bill down, but most | :02:47. | :02:49. | |
would agree there has to be a financial safety net for people who | :02:50. | :02:53. | |
really are unable to work. So how will these tough new measurds | :02:54. | :02:54. | |
really are unable to work. So how will these tough new measures go | :02:55. | :02:55. | |
will these tough new measurds go down with the public? | :02:56. | :03:00. | |
If they would cut down on it and get people back to work, we would all be | :03:01. | :03:02. | |
better off. There are peopld who better off. There are people who | :03:03. | :03:06. | |
simply cannot work due to long`term illness, but there are people who | :03:07. | :03:08. | |
play the system. There are all sorts play the system. There are all sorts | :03:09. | :03:13. | |

of reasons why people are not working. You cannot generalise. So, | :03:16. | :03:15. | |
working. You cannot generalhse. So, mixed reactions to this new system | :03:16. | :03:18. | |
which Guernsey's government hope will reduce long`term unemployment. | :03:19. | :03:21. | |
So will these government`imposed measures work? Well, Professor Dan | :03:22. | :03:26. | |
Finn is an expert in the pros and cons of different ways of getting | :03:27. | :03:28. | |
cons of different ways of gdtting people back into work. I spoke to | :03:29. | :03:31. | |
him earlier from our Portsmouth studio to ask how Guernsey's | :03:32. | :03:39. | |
approach compares to elsewhere. You can do this in a way th`t is | :03:40. | :03:42. | |
harsh and punitive as they have done in some of the states in Amdrica, | :03:43. | :03:45. | |
in some of the states in America, where they have gone back to the | :03:46. | :03:47. | |
porn laws, virtually. Or yot can where they have gone back to the | :03:48. | :03:49. | |
porn laws, virtually. Or you can do porn laws, virtually. Or you can do | :03:50. | :03:52. | |
it in a modern way, as they do in the UK and Germany, where they have | :03:53. | :03:56. | |
introduced requirements on people which are tailored to the | :03:57. | :04:01. | |
circumstances of individuals. To be frank, the measures being introduced | :04:02. | :04:08. | |
in Guernsey, in comparative terms, these were the types of reforms that | :04:09. | :04:13. | |
you saw in many other OECD countries in the 1990s. Are there challenges | :04:14. | :04:18. | |
specific to small islands lhke specific to small islands lhke | :04:19. | :04:24. | |
Guernsey and Jersey? Yes, completely. There are challdnges and | :04:25. | :04:27. | |
completely. There are challenges and opportunities. Local employdrs are | :04:28. | :04:28. | |
opportunities. Local employers are well`known the services. It should | :04:29. | :04:31. | |
be possible to broker the rhght be possible to broker the right | :04:32. | :04:37. | |
types of placements. The ch`llenge will be for those people who have | :04:38. | :04:41. | |
got very significant barriers, some of which will not be apparent at the | :04:42. | :04:46. | |
first meeting. Then what happens is that it is likely to involvd other | :04:47. | :04:49. | |
that it is likely to involve other services becoming involved. The most | :04:50. | :04:52. | |
obvious one would be health services, of which they have their | :04:53. | :04:55. | |
own problems in terms of behng services, of which they havd their | :04:56. | :04:56. | |
own problems in terms of being able own problems in terms of being able | :04:57. | :04:58. | |
to help people and assist them improve their employability. | :04:59. | :05:03. | |
The idea of reassessing people deemed not well enough for work ` or | :05:04. | :05:07. | |
changing who gets sick notes ` can be controversial. What are the | :05:08. | :05:11. | |
challenges there? This is a very challenging area. And one where the | :05:12. | :05:16. | |
UK has both made some mistakes, and has also got a lot of learnhng, | :05:17. | :05:19. | |
which may be `` maybe the department which may be `` maybe the department | :05:20. | :05:25. | |
in Guernsey will be able to learn from. Go slowly would be my advice. | :05:26. | :05:32. | |
It depends on the nature of people's conditions. It depdnds on | :05:33. | :05:34. | |
people's conditions. It depends on the nature of the kinds of jobs they | :05:35. | :05:37. | |
are going to be able to place them in and the kind of support that may | :05:38. | :05:41. | |
be available. One of the significant issues in the UK is around mental | :05:42. | :05:49. | |
health and employment. Whilst work is generally good for peopld | :05:50. | :05:50. | |
health and employment. Whilst work is generally good for people in | :05:51. | :05:53. | |
terms of getting the habit back, regularity, people want to work. | :05:54. | :06:00. | |
Some work, which may be stressful, is not afraid you would want to | :06:01. | :06:05. | |
place people. Meanwhile, in Jersey, the States is promising to pay | :06:06. | :06:07. | |
employers to take on young people who have been out of a job for at | :06:08. | :06:11. | |
least six months. It's costing ?650,000 of public | :06:12. | :06:14. | |
money, and it's hoped over a hundred jobs will be created. Sophid | :06:15. | :06:15. | |
jobs will be created. Sophie Sulehria explains. | :06:16. | :06:24. | |
Kevin's story is becoming familiar in Jersey. He's young, unemployed | :06:25. | :06:27. | |
and eager for a break. The hndustry and eager for a break. The industry | :06:28. | :06:36. | |
that I want to go into is the IT industry. I think it is really hard | :06:37. | :06:40. | |
to get into because they want people with experience. And I cannot gain | :06:41. | :06:44. | |
that experience without going to a work placement. But now employers do | :06:45. | :06:47. | |
have an incentive to take pdople have an incentive to take people | :06:48. | :06:50. | |
like Kevin without experience. This St Helier marketing company is | :06:51. | :06:53. | |
looking into a new States offer to pay them around ?6,500 to t`ke | :06:54. | :06:55. | |
looking into a new States offer to pay them around ?6,500 to take on a | :06:56. | :06:55. | |
pay them around ?6,500 to t`ke on a young job seeker. | :06:56. | :07:05. | |
It's open to all industries, provided the job created is a | :07:06. | :07:12. | |
permanent one. With the forums, employers will be | :07:13. | :07:16. | |
able to invest in these young people, more in their training, good | :07:17. | :07:19. | |
people, more in their trainhng, good for the employer and good for the | :07:20. | :07:23. | |
employee. And eventually upscaling our local industries. | :07:24. | :07:26. | |
But there is a risk in taking on a new starter with no experience ` so | :07:27. | :07:32. | |
why should employers take it? There is nothing more upsetting for a | :07:33. | :07:34. | |
young person if they keep gdtting turned down for jobs. They get into | :07:35. | :07:39. | |
a spiral, a downward spiral, and we need to help them. We need to get | :07:40. | :07:44. | |
them into jobs. It's hoped that this scheme will get more than a hundred | :07:45. | :07:48. | |
young people into a variety of jobs. Kevin hopes one of them has his name | :07:49. | :07:53. | |
on it. I would love to go to a job | :07:54. | :07:58. | |
placement. Even if it is not paid, I don't mind. It is just getting the | :07:59. | :08:00. | |
don't mind. It is just getthng the experience I need. | :08:01. | :08:02. | |
Conserved timbers from the Gallo Roman ship discovered in St Peter | :08:03. | :08:07. | |
Port Harbour, arrived in Jersey today. The large timbers, which | :08:08. | :08:08. | |
formed the base of the vessel, today. The large timbers, which | :08:09. | :08:10. | |
formed the base of the vessdl, had formed the base of the vessdl, had | :08:11. | :08:10. | |

this afternoon. They were lifted from the Guernsey sea bed in 19 2, | :08:16. | :08:17. | |
from the Guernsey sea bed in 1982, and have never been on publhc | :08:18. | :08:18. | |
and have never been on public display before. They will form part | :08:19. | :08:22. | |
of the Coin Hoard exhibition, due to open to the public on two June. | :08:23. | :08:29. | |
`` on the 2nd of June. Guernsey FC's players will bear a | :08:30. | :08:33. | |
new sponsor's logo from next season. The club has signed a three`year | :08:34. | :08:35. | |
deal with Specsavers, replacing Sportingbet as the Green Lions' main | :08:36. | :08:38. | |
sponsor. Sportingbet, which has sponsored GFC from the outset, | :08:39. | :08:40. | |
sponsored GFC from the outsdt, closed its Guernsey office last | :08:41. | :08:48. | |
year. Hugely important. The costs have | :08:49. | :08:57. | |
gone up over the season. So in conjunction with our other sponsors, | :08:58. | :09:02. | |
and the ticket sales from the great fans, the main sponsor was the | :09:03. | :09:05. | |
missing link and it has been absolutely superb to get th`t nailed | :09:06. | :09:07. | |
absolutely superb to get that nailed down. | :09:08. | :09:09. | |
And staying with sporting news, thousands of islanders are dxpected | :09:10. | :09:12. | |

summer. Tom Daley himself says he is summer. Tom Daley himself s`ys he is | :09:31. | :09:45. | |
excited. He says: "This is the time for everyone to get behind their | :09:46. | :09:48. | |
home teams as the baton's arrival reminds us that the Games are just | :09:49. | :09:52. | |
around the corner. I'm counting down the days!" Well, Jersey athlete Zane | :09:53. | :09:55. | |
Duquemin will be here too. He's the current British indoor shot putt | :09:56. | :09:58. | |
champion, and likely to qualify for the Games. And the 23`year`old told | :09:59. | :10:00. | |

Tom Daley is a fantastic athlete. It will be great. A fantastic occasion. | :10:18. | :10:24. | |
Of course, Tom Daley has become a big TV personality in the past few | :10:25. | :10:26. | |
big TV personality in the p`st few years. So as well as attracting a | :10:27. | :10:29. | |
crowd, it's hoped he'll inspire the island's next generation of sporting | :10:30. | :10:31. | |
stars. I think it's a massive effect. Any | :10:32. | :10:33. | |
celebrity who has won Nurnberg celebrity who has won Nurnberg | :10:34. | :10:40. | |
medal... It is always a good thing. He is young, he is popular, he is | :10:41. | :10:42. | |

The number one swimming club in the country, Plymouth Leander, will be | :15:39. | :15:41. | |
represented by five of its swimmers in this year's Commonwealth Games. | :15:42. | :15:44. | |
Leander's head coach Jon Rudd will also be leading the England swimming | :15:45. | :15:47. | |
team, but as Spotlight's Dave Gibbins reports, his quintet are | :15:48. | :15:50. | |

club's status as UK champions, which it has achieved for the sixth time | :16:31. | :16:35. | |
in seven years. I am hopeful our guys go and swim with honour and | :16:36. | :16:39. | |
pride because they know that Plymouth is a big part of the reason | :16:40. | :16:44. | |
that they are going, and we will see what the medal table tells us | :16:45. | :16:49. | |
afterwards. 19`year`old Ben Prout spearheads the England bid for | :16:50. | :16:54. | |
medals. Last year he smashed Mark Foster's ten`year`old butterfly | :16:55. | :16:58. | |

for its annual races, but now they have something else to shout about, | :17:16. | :17:19. | |

which just goes to show how tough this year's competition is going to | :17:41. | :17:46. | |
be. The Chelsea Flower Show provides the | :17:47. | :17:49. | |
opportunity for gardeners to reveal their latest innovations. And this | :17:50. | :17:53. | |
year is no exception. But, are some of the delights from Devon really | :17:54. | :17:55. | |
flowers? In fact, what on earth of the delights from Devon really | :17:56. | :17:57. | |
flowers? In fact, what on earth are they? Janine Jansen has been taking | :17:58. | :18:04. | |
a look. Not a space ship, but a purple | :18:05. | :18:09. | |
turnip. Think of Chelsea, and I bet you would think of flowers, but the | :18:10. | :18:14. | |
exhibition by Suttons seeds from Paignton will feature a huge | :18:15. | :18:15. | |
Paignton will feature a hugd selection of vegetables. There are | :18:16. | :18:23. | |
some quite interesting vegetables amongst us. This is what most people | :18:24. | :18:27. | |
would recognise as a cauliflower. What we found last year, we had this | :18:28. | :18:32. | |
one last year, it is a uniqte one with its it on. It looks really | :18:33. | :18:34. | |
with its it on. It looks re`lly good. I know what you were thinking, | :18:35. | :18:37. | |
how do they get all the vegdtables how do they get all the vegdtables | :18:38. | :18:41. | |
ready in May? It is difficult getting vegetables at this time of | :18:42. | :18:46. | |
year. One of the problems is doing it in the gardens, you have to grow | :18:47. | :18:48. | |
everything in pots, which bdcomes a everything in pots, which becomes a | :18:49. | :18:51. | |
challenge when you get warm days like today and I have been trying to | :18:52. | :18:56. | |
shade everything. Though in a garden you would have succession, `t | :18:57. | :18:58. | |
you would have succession, at Chelsea, the expectation is that | :18:59. | :19:02. | |
everything is nearly at its peak. Some stuff you try to hold on, some | :19:03. | :19:07. | |
stuff you try to bring on. To celebrate 50 years of the Southwest | :19:08. | :19:13. | |
