has been talking to Will Gompartz. That's all from | :00:00. | :00:09. | |
An earthquake of 4.2 magnittde has shaken the Channel Islands today. | :00:10. | :00:14. | |
The epicentre was about sevdn miles to the west of Jersey | :00:15. | :00:18. | |
but it's thought to be the biggest tremor of its kind for 80 ydars | :00:19. | :00:25. | |
The big shock wave we can sde there is the actual earthquake as it | :00:26. | :00:31. | |
occurred around about lunchtime and if we look in detail we can actually | :00:32. | :00:34. | |
see a couple of further shocks much smaller which are little | :00:35. | :00:37. | |
aftershocks. Measuring a magnitude of 4.2, today's earthquake hs the | :00:38. | :00:43. | |
biggest recorded in the Channel Islands ` as far as the Met Office | :00:44. | :00:48. | |
are aware of. It happened jtst before 1:00, weather forecasters had | :00:49. | :00:49. | |
It happened just before 1:00, One of the things very diffhcult to | :00:50. | :01:05. | |
predict, at quicks. Some me`sure, if you like, of experience now in terms | :01:06. | :01:11. | |
of the bigger ones but even there, it is still a young science in terms | :01:12. | :01:16. | |
of predicting when they will occur. Channel Islands and we've even had | :01:17. | :01:29. | |
reports it reached as far as France and the southwest of England. The | :01:30. | :01:30. | |
last time the Channel Islands It is really quite scary because you | :01:31. | :01:40. | |
didn't know what it was, I thought perhaps one of the oil tanks had | :01:41. | :01:46. | |
blown up. I think we heard ht more than the ones on the ground floor. | :01:47. | :01:49. | |
Initially I thought somebodx was jumping upstairs and there was a | :01:50. | :01:54. | |
bigger noise which felt likd the rift was caving in. I thought, | :01:55. | :01:58. | |
everybody is going wrong. The whole place seem to shake and everybody | :01:59. | :02:03. | |
ran around, saying, did everyone feel about. | :02:04. | :02:06. | |
experienced a big earthquakd was back in the 1930s, measuring 3. . | :02:07. | :02:10. | |
The islands were due another, as they can occur every 60 years. | :02:11. | :02:14. | |
Forecasters say now the energy has been released ` no more are | :02:15. | :02:18. | |
expected, well for the next 60 years anyway. | :02:19. | :02:25. | |
Concerns are being raised over Guernsey's plans to deal with | :02:26. | :02:28. | |
There are proposals to stord 2, 00 tonnes of it at St Sampson's Harbour | :02:29. | :02:33. | |
But two former members of the Environment Board, Ddputies | :02:34. | :02:37. | |
Tony Spruce and Barry Paint say there are still too many unknowns. | :02:38. | :02:45. | |
We don't have a contract signed we have no idea how big the buhldings | :02:46. | :02:52. | |
are going to be, there has been no environmental impact assesslent done | :02:53. | :02:58. | |
for noise, water, air pollution according to what plant is hnstalled | :02:59. | :03:01. | |
so we have a lot of concerns. Guernsey's Environment Minister has | :03:02. | :03:10. | |
told the BBC that the Waste Disposal Plan is | :03:11. | :03:12. | |
an effective report that does the job of highlighting | :03:13. | :03:14. | |
areas where the | :03:15. | :03:16. | |
waste strategy needs further work. There are plans to build three | :03:17. | :03:19. | |
hundred homes, shops and parks on The gas storage cylinder thdre is no | :03:20. | :03:22. | |
longer used and Jersey Gas want to build houses | :03:23. | :03:27. | |
with 255 parking spaces there. Gas will be stored at La Collette | :03:28. | :03:31. | |
instead. There's an urgent need for better | :03:32. | :03:34. | |
customer service from Jersex's taxi The responses from over 3,000 people | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
study by Jersey's Consumer Council shows nearly half of people surveyed | :03:39. | :03:44. | |
felt customer care was fair to poor. This has been rejected by | :03:45. | :03:48. | |
Jersey's Taxi Association. Tasers could be used by Jersey | :03:49. | :03:52. | |
Police as early as next week. Around half | :03:53. | :03:55. | |
of the force's 25 firearms officers have been trained to use | :03:56. | :03:58. | |
the stun guns which the States voted A warning ` this report contains | :03:59. | :04:01. | |
some flashing images at the start. 50,000 volts sent shooting hnto | :04:02. | :04:24. | |
today, a cardboard cut`out hn a training room. But tasers whll soon | :04:25. | :04:35. | |
to be a reality for Jersey police officers. | :04:36. | :04:36. | |
The firearms team is only called out around 15 times ` year | :04:37. | :04:45. | |
What we have given them is ` distant control measure which is a less | :04:46. | :04:49. | |
lethal option. and very rarely actually fire their | :04:50. | :04:56. | |
guns so they don't anticipate using tasers very often either. Btt their | :04:57. | :05:00. | |
very existence in the systel has some people worried. Testing it | :05:01. | :05:02. | |
today, Jersey Police insist the People can get hurt. You don't know | :05:03. | :05:13. | |
who you are shooting at the person may have a weak heart. I hope there | :05:14. | :05:18. | |
is consideration given to it and there will be an ambulance behind to | :05:19. | :05:22. | |
safeguard that person because that person could also be an innocent | :05:23. | :05:24. | |
person being shot. weapon is largely safe. Thex say | :05:25. | :05:31. | |
officers will be coached in judging the right situations to deploy it | :05:32. | :05:33. | |
and they are very accountable. Ten Every police officer employdd has a | :05:34. | :05:44. | |
Judy to be able to justify `ny use of force at all. Had to justify even | :05:45. | :05:49. | |
shouting at individuals and we will try everything we can, everxthing at | :05:50. | :05:54. | |
our disposal before resorting to this. | :05:55. | :05:56. | |
of Jersey's 25 firearms offhcers are already trained up so in thdory | :05:57. | :06:02. | |
tasers could be used right now. Training for all should be complete | :06:03. | :06:05. | |
by October so next year's annual report should reveal how much | :06:06. | :06:07. | |
they're helping the fight against crime. | :06:08. | :06:13. | |
The weather is next. I bit of a change tomorrow. We will | :06:14. | :06:24. | |
see more cloud and that may produce more rain, particularly in the | :06:25. | :06:28. | |
second half of the day. It will get some odd colour. The cloud `t the | :06:29. | :06:34. | |
moment is just coming into the western side of Ireland and that is | :06:35. | :06:37. | |
the cloud that will produce the rain. There is also some thhcker | :06:38. | :06:46. | |
cloud coming in. It is thesd weather systems out here that will hntroduce | :06:47. | :06:50. | |
the thicker cloud and outbrdaks of rain throughout the weekend. | :06:51. | :06:54. | |
Overnight tonight, we will see some clear skies but in the small hours | :06:55. | :06:57. | |
of the morning, just enough cloud to generate the odd light showdr. | :06:58. | :07:01. | |
Overnight temperatures no lower than 15 degrees. Tomorrow, briefly some | :07:02. | :07:06. | |
brightness but on the whole, it is cloudy and the cloud will thicken | :07:07. | :07:10. | |
through the morning and into the afternoon to produce a little bit of | :07:11. | :07:17. | |
rain. 20 degrees, the top temperature. Slow to clear on Sunday | :07:18. | :07:23. | |
morning, then it will brighten up in the afternoon. Mainly dry btt cloudy | :07:24. | :07:24. | |
for the rest of the week. for the outlook, well we will see | :07:25. | :07:36. | |
showers on anditturnsfresheronMonday. | :07:37. | :07:42. | |
