:00:09. > :00:10.Good evening. us.
:00:11. > :00:14.Pressure is mounting on the Bishop of Winchester to publish a report
:00:15. > :00:17.looking into how Jersey's church dealt with allegations of abuse
:00:18. > :00:21.The Dean, Bob Key, was suspdnded last year for his handling
:00:22. > :00:27.He was later re`instated and a High Court Judge from the UK,
:00:28. > :00:30.Dame Heather Steel, was asked to investigate.
:00:31. > :00:32.Our reporter Christina Ghidoni joined me
:00:33. > :00:40.The Steel Report was commissioned by the Diocese of Winchester after
:00:41. > :00:43.criticism of the way Jersey's church dealt with claims that a vulnerable
:00:44. > :00:47.woman suffered abuse at the home of an island church warden.
:00:48. > :00:50.In its terms of reference it should be given to the Dean, the b`iliff,
:00:51. > :00:55.the Ministry of Justice and anyone who could face disciplinary action.
:00:56. > :01:00.But that hasn't happened yet and in the States, Senator Ian Le Larquand,
:01:01. > :01:04.who was acting Chief Ministdr today, was asked if he would write to the
:01:05. > :01:07.Bishop of Winchester, the Archbishop of Canterbury and Dame Heather Steel
:01:08. > :01:15.to ask for the report to be published as soon as possible.
:01:16. > :01:22.What the report says must bd made public and it is particularly
:01:23. > :01:29.important because the release of the initial report and the suspdnsion
:01:30. > :01:33.without a hearing of the De`n has blackened his name. If this report
:01:34. > :01:35.says he was not at fault, that should be corrected, if it says he
:01:36. > :01:40.was, that should be clarifidd. Meanwhile,
:01:41. > :01:53.one local vicar says he's h`s lost I hope that either public pressure,
:01:54. > :01:59.inviting him to keep his promises, will work, or if that did not work,
:02:00. > :02:06.we would have to ask the Archbishop of Canterbury for help. He said he
:02:07. > :02:10.wanted the truth to come out. If you do, will you persuade your
:02:11. > :02:12.colleagues to release them `` report straightaway.
:02:13. > :02:16.The BBC understands the Bishop of Winchester has written to
:02:17. > :02:19.Jersey's bailiff, confirming he does have the completed Steel Report
:02:20. > :02:22.and that he has sent it to be legally scrutinised
:02:23. > :02:27.We tried to contact the Dean, the Very Reverend Bob Key, but have
:02:28. > :02:31.Jersey's Treasury Minister says there are no plans to settld out
:02:32. > :02:34.of court with a building company that's t`king
:02:35. > :02:36.action against him and the States of Jersey Development Company.
:02:37. > :02:38.Harcourt Developments and four other companies ard taking
:02:39. > :02:41.action over a contract to ddvelop the Esplanade Car Park.
:02:42. > :02:44.Senator Philip Ozouf says the case against him and SOJDC will
:02:45. > :02:47.continue in court but won't affect plans to develop the area.
:02:48. > :02:49.Guernsey's health department is looking for a non`States
:02:50. > :02:54.The job attracts a salary of ?6 per half`day of meetings attended.
:02:55. > :02:56.Health Minister Mark Dorey said today applicants needn't necessarily
:02:57. > :03:02.There's a drive to recruit lore foster carers in Jersey frol
:03:03. > :03:07.43 boys and girls are currently in foster care in the island.
:03:08. > :03:10.Paula Gouveira, the first Portuguese fosterer in Jersey, looks after a
:03:11. > :03:13.three`year`old and a seven`xear`old, as well as her own children, and
:03:14. > :03:28.Obviously it is going to be hard but I have to remind myself thex are not
:03:29. > :03:33.mine. I did something for them. I showed them love, affection and I
:03:34. > :03:35.showed them how to live thehr lives day by day.
:03:36. > 9:56:41A campaign's started to get more women to stand for Guernsey States.
9:56:42 > 9:56:41The aim is to get at least 40 female candidates to put themselves forward
9:56:42 > 9:56:41But what's stopping women from standing in the first places?
9:56:42 > 9:56:41There's always plenty of emotion on election night.
9:56:42 > 9:56:41But for some, one thing that's lacking is women candidates.
9:56:42 > 9:56:41Are there any more potential candidates out there? No, not at
9:56:42 > 9:56:41all. Yes, because there are rules that need to be changed. Most things
9:56:42 > 9:56:41get overturned so there is not much point.
9:56:42 > 9:56:41When you look at the stats, Guernsey States don't do th`t well.
9:56:42 > 9:56:41With just women deputies, it falls behind more a hundred other
9:56:42 > 9:56:41nations when it comes to felale representation in the States.
9:56:42 > 9:56:41Places like Iraq, Afghanist`n, and North Korea.
9:56:42 > 9:56:41This deputy wants that to change, campaigning to get 40 femald
9:56:42 > 9:56:41A Parliament or government should be representative of the peopld it
9:56:42 > 9:56:41serves and we are a long wax from that. Another reason we need more
9:56:42 > 9:56:41women in politics is that women bring some thing different to the
9:56:42 > 9:56:41role. Getting more young people
9:56:42 > 9:56:41involved is another goal. So is being a politician re`lly
9:56:42 > 9:56:41a career path Most politicians appear to be
9:56:42 > 9:56:41middle`aged men and I am nehther middle`aged or a man so that is not
9:56:42 > 9:56:41very appealing to me. Polithcs is something me and my friends are
9:56:42 > 9:56:41interested in but we don't think of it as a career.
9:56:42 > 9:56:41They may not be thinking of it yet, but with another two years
9:56:42 > 9:56:41until the next election, there is time to convince others to
9:56:42 > 9:56:41The Queen's Commonwealth Gales Baton spent its final few hours in Jersey
9:56:42 > 9:56:41today before heading to Guernsey and saw some island icons along the way.
9:56:42 > 9:56:41It started this morning with a stop at Corbiere Lighthouse,
9:56:42 > 9:56:41Six baton`bearers took it up the Railway Walk to Les Quennevais
9:56:42 > 9:56:41playing fields, where it was welcomed by school
9:56:42 > 9:56:41It then stopped off for a photo with a Jersey cow in St Peter,
9:56:42 > 9:56:41And then made its way to the harbour for its next leg
9:56:42 > 9:56:41in Guernsey, where the gemstone at the top of the baton was given
9:56:42 > 9:56:41Tomorrow, the Baton tours Gternsey's primary schools and it heads to
9:56:42 > 9:56:41Join us for that and much more tomorrow at 6.30pm.
9:56:42 > 9:56:41And I'll leave you now with the weather forecast with Dan Downs
9:56:42 > 9:56:41As the Queen's Batten relay continues its tour of the island,
9:56:42 > 9:56:41the weather continues to improve. It is staying dry right through to the
9:56:42 > 9:56:41beginning of the weekend. Overnight tonight, we will see the wind easing
9:56:42 > 9:56:41back to a generally clear nhght and temperatures staying just in double
9:56:42 > 9:56:41figures. Maybe one or two mhssed patches forming as we get towards
9:56:42 > 9:56:41dawn but they should quicklx burn away. Maybe a bit of cloud here and
9:56:42 > 9:56:41there at times but not enough to spoil the day. Temperatures into the
9:56:42 > 9:56:41mid`teens. It is not looking too bad for the rest of the tour as we head
9:56:42 > 9:56:41towards the weekend. Temper`tures gradually starting to creep, made
9:56:42 > 9:56:41you reaching 17 or 18 by Frhday In a moment, the full UK forec`st. I
9:56:42 > 9:56:41will leave you with the sumlary tomorrow evening, but a sunny
9:56:42 > 9:56:41outlook, although it might start to breakdown in some places at the
9:56:42 > 9:56:41weekend. Today the weather was the sort of weather where it couldn t
9:56:42 > 9:56:41really make its mind up. It changed from hour to hour, there
9:56:42 > 9:56:41were storm clouds and thunder and lightning as well. As far as
9:56:42 > 9:56:41tomorrow goes, it will be sunny and warm so you can leave your lawn
9:56:42 > 9:56:41bowlers at home although after today I wouldn't be surprised if you take
9:56:42 > 9:56:41it just in case. You can see some of the big shower clouds moving across
9:56:42 > 9:56:41the country, this is another loop here, the radar scans the horizon
9:56:42 > 9:56:41and tells us where it has been raiding. You can see them over
9:56:42 > 9:56:41Northern Ireland, over eastern England and down to the south-east.
9:56:42 > 9:56:42Towards the end of the night it is going to be dry for
