The company operates across both bailiwicks, but it was a promotional

:00:11.:00:23.

offer for faster broadband hn Jersey that sparked the investigathon. It

:00:24.:00:26.

offered customers what seemdd to be a good rate provision, but `fter 18

:00:27.:00:30.

months automatically moved them to a more expensive product. The

:00:31.:00:32.

promotion angered their competitors who say they don't have a ldvel

playing field. Emma Chambers reports.

:00:38.:00:45.

Internet in Jersey is about to get a lot faster. All JT customers will be

:00:46.:00:50.

upgraded to 20 megabytes broadband next month, those currently on the

:00:51.:00:54.

two megabytes service have been offered a faster speed at the same

:00:55.:00:58.

price they are currently paxing for the next 18 months. Sounds like a

:00:59.:01:04.

good deal. Faster Internet `t a lower price. But this offer has

:01:05.:01:08.

upset some customers as thex will be automatically charged the ftll

:01:09.:01:14.

amount after the 18 month probation. Even if they don't want it. It is

:01:15.:01:20.

taxpayers' money and we need to use it wisely. Other operators can

:01:21.:01:24.

choose to compete in whatevdr way they see fit. `` fit. That hs what

:01:25.:01:38.

has happened. Competitors are customers as well as compethtors as

:01:39.:01:43.

they buy from JT. They say ht is on competitive. `` uncompetitive. They

:01:44.:01:55.

think the customer will think it is 7099, they only find out it is not

:01:56.:01:59.

when they start downloading. Competition authority have launched

:02:00.:02:05.

an investigation. The risk hs they wouldn't be better off at the end of

:02:06.:02:10.

18 months because they will be forced to make a short`term decision

:02:11.:02:13.

now to take a higher`priced product later. The other risk is th`t

:02:14.:02:18.

competitors of JT are in a position where they will struggle unless

:02:19.:02:24.

something changes in terms of the margins are available. JT s`y faster

:02:25.:02:30.

broadband is what customers want, but the competition authority will

:02:31.:02:33.

decide if choice is more important. Police are investigating after the

:02:34.:02:37.

body of a 73`year`old man w`s found in Jersey. Officers say the man s

:02:38.:02:41.

body was found in the back of a van this evening at Victoria Pidr in St

:02:42.:02:46.

Helier. A policeman who's police car crashed

:02:47.:02:48.

and overturned in Jersey yesterday morning has been released from

:02:49.:02:51.

hospital. The officer was rdsponding to an emergency call at the time of

:02:52.:02:56.

the crash at Le Hocq. `` wasn't responding. An investigation is

:02:57.:02:59.

underway. Guernsey Electricity's in the final

:03:00.:03:02.

stages of putting together hts case for another cable link to the island

:03:03.:03:05.

` a project that will cost between ?60 million and ?80 million. The

:03:06.:03:09.

company says it'll make the supply from France more secure. But the

:03:10.:03:12.

cost of the new cable is solething customers will have to foot the bill

:03:13.:03:18.

for. One thing the board is mindful of is affordability and in `ny

:03:19.:03:22.

business case we all think `bout the impact on customers and we generally

:03:23.:03:27.

say that if it creates too high an increase in tariffs, it is not worth

:03:28.:03:30.

it. Former Jersey Football Club manager

:03:31.:03:33.

Craig Culkin has announced his plans to set up new team to play hn the

:03:34.:03:37.

English Football League. He resigned as Jersey's manager after the

:03:38.:03:40.

island's defeat against Guernsey in the Murratti two weeks ago. Now

:03:41.:03:43.

Culkin says he's "on a misshon" to set up a league club similar to the

:03:44.:03:50.

Green Lions. I think we would need start at the bottom where Gternsey

:03:51.:03:54.

FC started. They have taken strides in the last three seasons and have

:03:55.:03:59.

had great success. We have ` lot to learn from them. Discussions need to

:04:00.:04:03.

be held with them. How it whll be done I am not too sure, it'll take a

:04:04.:04:06.

lot of financial support and backing. But how realistic hs it for

:04:07.:04:10.

Jersey? Chris Harrison reports. Can Jersey take on teams in the

:04:11.:04:13.

English leagues? Ex`Island lanager Craig Culkin seems to think so. And

:04:14.:04:16.

the Jersey Football Association are right behind him and his drdam. It

:04:17.:04:28.

needs to be a community club with a strong foundation. And then a

:04:29.:04:33.

pathway for players that gods right into the adult game. You also need

:04:34.:04:40.

cash. It is estimated the club would need at least ?250,000 a ye`r to

:04:41.:04:44.

support itself. Finance is one of the most important challengds facing

:04:45.:04:52.

smaller teams. Just below ldague level, they are averaging bdtween

:04:53.:04:58.

two and ?250 a week. Below that you are looking at a budget of 05 to

:04:59.:05:02.

?20,000 in the conference ldague. Guernsey FC was set up four years

:05:03.:05:06.

ago, and have seen nothing but success year after year in Dnglish

:05:07.:05:09.

leagues. But they too had to overcome challenges. There was a lot

:05:10.:05:16.

of negotiations to be done with a lot of different entities. Creating

:05:17.:05:23.

a whole new club, a whole ndw image and working with a lot of dhfferent

:05:24.:05:26.

professional people who knew what they were doing. But if Jersey do

:05:27.:05:29.

follow Guernsey's lead, there are concerns it could damage gr`ss

:05:30.:05:36.

roots. If you take the best 25 players out of any leak, thd

:05:37.:05:40.

standard will clearly drop. Having said that, the league will survive.

:05:41.:05:45.

In the coming weeks, Craig Culkin will be assessing all possibilities

:05:46.:05:48.

for the new club. Will Guernsey have a successful sister island? We will

:05:49.:05:53.

have to wait to see. Let's hope they don't score an own goal with this

one. A final panel of the Bayeux Tapestry

:06:01.:06:03.

created by a community projdct in Alderney is to be celebrated in a

:06:04.:06:06.

special collection of stamps, themselves made from fabric. The

:06:07.:06:09.

famous embroidery shows the Norman conquest of England. More than 00

:06:10.:06:12.

people, including the Princd of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall,

:06:13.:06:14.

stitched the ten`foot panel. Good evening. Thunder and r`in will

:06:15.:06:35.

be our problem over the next 24 hours. It may clear towards dawn,

:06:36.:06:38.

further showers are possibld through the day. We face some sunshhne,

:06:39.:06:45.

relatively mild, some showers turning out to be heavy. Lott

:06:46.:06:48.

scattering to the South, thdy will sweep up fairly shortly. `` a lot.

:06:49.:06:55.

Come dawn, may be dry. `` m`inly dry. For much of the day, the cloud

:06:56.:07:02.

will come and go and so will be the showers. We will get brief glimpses

:07:03.:07:07.

of sunshine, but were showers do occur, they could be quite heavy. A

:07:08.:07:13.

top temperature of 16 Celsits. Not a grey deal of change for the weekend,

:07:14.:07:19.

Friday, the showers still there On Sunday, there is a better chance of

:07:20.:07:25.

more in the way of sunshine. There could be some isolated showdrs, but

:07:26.:07:30.

mostly dry. From us, it is good night. I will

:07:31.:07:36.

Good evening. Take some warm, humid air, add a generous measure of low

:07:37.:07:45.

pressure and you have the recipe for some pretty heavy rain. The warm,

:07:46.:07:53.

humid air is coming from the Mediterranean, it rises and

:07:54.:07:55.

condenses because of the low pressure, and comes down as heavy

:07:56.:08:01.

rain. It has been doing that all afternoon and evening across
