:00:18. > :00:20.the deteriorating security situation there. Ben Remfrey is trappdd in the

:00:21. > :00:23.capital Tripoli, after a string of violent clashes over the wedkend

:00:24. > :00:27.prompted by political unrest in the country. He was working in Libya to

:00:31. > :00:35.plan for himself and his st`ff. Penny Elderfield reports. GTN SHOTS.

:00:36. > :00:38.A familiar sound here in recent days, as fighting has spread across

:00:39. > :00:41.the Libyan city of Tripoli, following an attack at the weekend

:00:42. > :00:44.on the country's interim Parliament. Described as some of the worst

:00:45. > :00:48.violence seen here in recent years. And caught up in it, local lan Ben

:00:49. > :01:01.Remfrey, who's working in the Saharan desert locating and clearing

:01:02. > :01:07.ammunition. The site of the task `` the size and the task in hand is

:01:08. > :01:13.immense. Gaddafi collected ` lot of weapons and had storage are` is

:01:14. > :01:18.built. The northern Sahara hs one huge ammunition depot. Can xou hear

:01:19. > :01:25.and see much from where you are now? I can, yeah. The fighthng has

:01:26. > :01:31.been going backwards and forwards around Tripoli, but it has hts peaks

:01:32. > :01:36.and troughs. One moment it hs fairly quiet, it was eerily quiet this

:01:37. > :01:42.morning after fighting all night and then kicked off again. Are xou safe

:01:43. > :01:49.at the moment? I am in a villa, it is pretty secure. I am fairly happy

:01:50. > :01:52.and I have spent the majority of today putting together an evacuation

:01:53. > :01:56.plan and if needed I will evacuate my staff. That's a plan he think

:01:57. > :02:00.he'll put into action tomorrow. After which Ben will also look to

:02:01. > :02:03.leave Tripoli temporarily if he can later this week. Meanwhile, more

:02:04. > :02:06.action is being taken by Jersey finance companies to freeze the

:02:07. > :02:09.assets of people involved in the dispute in Ukraine. An order from

:02:10. > :02:12.the UK has been extended to Jersey, so that companies know which

:02:13. > :02:15.individuals to take action `gainst. It's the latest in a series of

:02:16. > :02:17.measures introduced in Jersdy, following UK guidelines, after the

:02:18. > :02:25.outbreak of hostilities between Ukraine and Russia. The two men

:02:26. > :02:28.accused of defrauding the States of Guernsey out of ?2.6 million have

:02:29. > :02:30.re`appeared at Southwark Crown Court. Fifty`six`year`old John

:02:31. > :02:33.Anthony Woodhatch from Essex and 44`year`old Adrian Taylor from Kent

:02:34. > :02:36.face charges of conspiracy to defraud and money laundering.They

:02:37. > :02:45.have been bailed again and will re`appear on 25th June. Neither has

:02:46. > :02:48.yet entered a plea. A furthdr witness has given evidence hn the

:02:49. > :02:52.trial of Richard de Wit, thd man accused of murdering Sarah Groves in

:02:53. > :02:55.Kashmir just over a year ago.The 24`year`old Guernsey woman was

:02:56. > :02:58.stabbed to death on a houseboat in April last year. De Wit denhes the

:02:59. > :03:01.charges. The trial's been plagued by delays with today's witness,

:03:02. > :03:09.Muhammad Shalla, being just the 12th on a list of 40 witnesses. The UK

:03:10. > :03:12.Government won't be funding a ten million pound upgrade to Wexmouth's

:03:13. > :03:15.harbour, despite an appeal from the town's MP. Richard Drax met with the

:03:16. > :03:19.Transport Minister Stephen Hammond earlier today, where he was told

:03:20. > :03:22.they don't have the money to fund the upgrade. This means that if

:03:23. > :03:25.Condor does buy a new "Trim`ran vessel, it's likely that it won t

:03:26. > :03:28.fit into Weymouth's harbour, forcing travellers to and from the Channel

:03:29. > :03:38.Islands to use Poole or Portsmouth instead. But as was being the case

:03:39. > :03:43.that the council is working with Condor, of course they are there

:03:44. > :03:48.will continue to do so. We will talk with everyone involved to sde if we

:03:49. > :03:52.can find a solution. The will continue. Guernsey's St John's

:03:53. > :03:56.Ambulance says it would be willing to step in and help their Jdrsey

:03:57. > :03:59.counterparts if they cannot recruit enough volunteers to providd first

:04:00. > :04:03.aid for the Island Games next year. They need to double the amotnt of

:04:04. > :04:05.first aiders they currently have to cover the event comfortably. But

:04:06. > :04:08.they haven't had enough intdrest so far. That's in stark contrast to the

:04:09. > :04:12.appeal for Gamesmakers. Applications for that opportunity will close

:04:13. > :04:14.early, due to a swell of interest. Emma Chambers reports. The Hsland

:04:15. > :04:20.Games. Where there's compethtion, there's the risk of injury.

:04:21. > :04:24.Competitors suffered heat exhaustion and some had to be stretchered off

:04:25. > :04:27.the track in Bermuda last ydar. If people need help in Jersey next

:04:28. > :04:30.summer, St John's Ambulance will be providing first aid. But although

:04:31. > :04:33.they are prepared, there's not enough of them. They have 50

:04:34. > :04:42.members, but need double th`t to cover the 4,000 people attending the

:04:43. > :04:48.Games. It is going to stretch us at the moment. This is why we need more

:04:49. > :04:52.members. We get support frol the Ambulance Service and I think the

:04:53. > :04:56.big thing is to consider, whth the Island Games coming over, if there

:04:57. > :05:00.is no first aid cover, you will draw on resources from the Ambul`nce

:05:01. > :05:03.Service. So that's why they are desperate to recruit enough

:05:04. > :05:06.volunteers. But if they can't, they have to seek help from overseas The

:05:07. > :05:11.St John volunteers are used to helping each other out, espdcially

:05:12. > :05:17.across the islands. When we held the Island Games in 2003, we had the

:05:18. > :05:22.same problems with a big evdnt like that, we need a large number of

:05:23. > :05:26.volunteers. We opened it up to Jersey and a number of people from

:05:27. > :05:30.Jersey came here and we opened it up to the UK and we had voluntders from

:05:31. > :05:33.there also. Some first aid training will be

:05:34. > :05:37.offered to Gamesmakers, but it's not the same depth as the nine lonths of

:05:38. > :05:40.training offered by St John's Ambulance, and won't be enotgh to

:05:41. > :05:44.fill the shortfall. The levdl of training that they will givd to

:05:45. > :05:49.people is much higher than the level that we are planning for our

:05:50. > :05:54.Gamesmakers. As a consequence, it will be a legacy item that people

:05:55. > :05:58.can take away and other events can benefit from it. The recruitment for

:05:59. > :06:01.Gamesmakers has been so successful, the application window is closing a

:06:02. > :06:04.month early. St John's Ambulance need some of that volunteerhng

:06:05. > :06:07.spirit to head their way in time for the Games. People have until

:06:08. > :06:13.September before the opporttnity for first aid training closes.

:06:14. > :06:17.Guernsey's Heather Watson h`s moved back into the World Top 100 tennis

:06:18. > :06:20.players after winning the Prague Open. Heather beat Anna Schliedlova

:06:21. > :06:24.in straight sets to claim hdr second ITF tournament win of the ydar. The

:06:25. > :06:27.victory puts Watson at 92 in the world rankings and British Number

:06:28. > :06:30.two. She'll now enter the qtalifying rounds of the French Open. Newsnight

:06:31. > :06:32.starting now over on BBC Two, I ll leave you with the weather `nd David

:06:33. > :06:42.Braine. The risk of showers continuds all

:06:43. > :06:46.the way through this week. Outside of the showers, some warm stnshine

:06:47. > :06:51.and it will be warm tomorrow. Showers through the morning, a bit

:06:52. > :06:57.drier in the afternoon and the risk of thunder. That risk is with us

:06:58. > :07:02.overnight tonight. We could see a sharp downpour of rain. Quite a mild

:07:03. > :07:06.night. A milder day tomorrow but with the risk of scattered showers

:07:07. > :07:13.through the morning, a few hn the early part of the afternoon, but

:07:14. > :07:18.warm sunshine at the end of the day. The outlook stays unsettled, on

:07:19. > :07:23.Wednesday we are close to some showers. The risk of showers

:07:24. > :07:29.continues on Thursday and Friday. In a second, a full forecast for the

:07:30. > :07:30.UK, from ask though, it is good night. I will leave you

:07:31. > :07:36.the day. Hi if 21 Cel3iuq to-orpow. And on the outlook, and settled

:07:37. > :07:44.conditions to come. Here's Nina Ridge.
