with each side blaming the other. That's all from the BBC News at

:00:00.:00:13.

Evening mangrove. The headlhnes `` good evening.

:00:14.:00:15.

Could we see a price war at the tills?

:00:16.:00:17.

The fixed cost of milk in Gternsey is set to be scrapped

:00:18.:00:19.

in a bid to strengthen the island's dairy industry.

:00:20.:00:21.

The agony and the heartache ` the wait for a Commonwealth medal

:00:22.:00:25.

continues as Jersey narrowlx miss out on a bronze medal.

:00:26.:00:30.

It is a brilliant match. We thought we had it and it went down to the

:00:31.:00:39.

last two bowls. So we are disappointed.

:00:40.:00:40.

And as the Glasgow Games ard applauded for including

:00:41.:00:42.

para`athletes, we examine why there were none from the Channel Hslands.

:00:43.:00:53.

The fixed price of milk in Guernsey could be scrapped as part

:00:54.:00:56.

of a major overhaul of the island's dairy industry.

:00:57.:01:00.

It would give shops the power to charge what thdy want.

:01:01.:01:02.

The proposals ` which affect everyone

:01:03.:01:04.

from farmers to milkmen ` ahm to encourage growth in the indtstry.

:01:05.:01:08.

So this is where it starts ` the Guernsey cow.

:01:09.:01:13.

Although the cows themselves are obviously oblivious to that.

:01:14.:01:21.

And the States want to not only protect this breed, but the

:01:22.:01:24.

The dairy industry has, of course, changed over the years `

:01:25.:01:30.

but the report, out today, says compared to a decade ago it's

:01:31.:01:32.

And the aim is to make sure that remains the case.

:01:33.:01:40.

So some changes are still ndeded ` firstly for farmers,

:01:41.:01:43.

Really, they've put a sort of false ceiling to anybody's business and

:01:44.:01:57.

maybe stopped any thoughts of expansion. I think whenever young

:01:58.:02:05.

people are interested in coling into the industry, you need to h`ve

:02:06.:02:07.

To better protect farmers and the dairy, there won't be any

:02:08.:02:09.

We find ourselves in a position where we can bring in reallx robust

:02:10.:02:19.

legislation which will guar`ntee that we can ban milk imports and

:02:20.:02:25.

that gives a lot more certahnty to the farmers and the dairy,

:02:26.:02:28.

The big change for consumers is that the fixed price for milk will go `

:02:29.:02:29.

so shops can potentially ch`rge what they want.

:02:30.:02:37.

Is I think it will give the retailers the opportunity to

:02:38.:02:46.

discount milk. What make about as more and more milk sales drhfting

:02:47.:02:51.

into the supermarkets who are able to do that.

:02:52.:02:52.

So big changes ` but ones which ultimately ahm to

:02:53.:02:54.

make sure the Guernsey cow darns its way, and is here to stax.

:02:55.:02:57.

A 65`year`old man from Guernsey has been sentenced to 12 years hn prison

:02:58.:03:02.

for raping and indecently assaulting underage girls in the 1970s and 80s.

:03:03.:03:06.

Neil Hastie, a former taxi driver was fotnd

:03:07.:03:07.

The judge said he lacked anx sense of remorse for his actions

:03:08.:03:13.

A ?45 million power cable between Jersey and Guernsey could

:03:14.:03:20.

Guernsey's electricity comp`ny wants a second cable

:03:21.:03:25.

Guernsey politicians today approved the loan the electricity

:03:26.:03:29.

The States also agreed a raft of measures to push ahead whth plans

:03:30.:03:36.

It will pave the way for more recycling, shipping some

:03:37.:03:41.

waste off`island, possibly to Jersey, and spreading composted food

:03:42.:03:44.

But there were environmental concerns raised during the debate.

:03:45.:03:57.

Undoubtedly green waste composting and food waste composting h`ppens in

:03:58.:04:07.

the UK but the material outputs for that process are spread on `reas

:04:08.:04:15.

which are not as tight as Gternsey. and our entire Ayr farmland at as a

water catchment area. The lawn bowls women's pairs were

:04:25.:04:26.

in a bronze medal play`off latch It would have been

:04:27.:04:27.

the first Commonwealth Games medal And, as Emma Chambers reports,

:04:28.:04:30.

it went down to the last end. Jersey pair Katie Nixon and

:04:31.:04:33.

Lindsey Greechan were playing superbly in a match that cotld win

:04:34.:04:38.

Jersey their first medal By the halfway point,

:04:39.:04:40.

they were fours points ahead of But this powerful bowl from

:04:41.:04:46.

Northern Ireland's Barbara Cameron They were now level

:04:47.:04:52.

at nine points each. With a bronze medal on the horizon,

:04:53.:05:04.

Jersey needed to keep their focus. Their supporters were feeling

:05:05.:05:10.

the tension. When they slipped behind

:05:11.:05:13.

in the 17th end, Greechan ddlivered It would all come down to the final

:05:14.:05:15.

end to decide the bronze medal. With one of Cameron's last bowls

:05:16.:05:28.

of the match, she smashed Jersey's bowls ` and

:05:29.:05:38.

their medal dreams. By just one point,

:05:39.:05:44.

Northern Ireland had won A disappointing and heartbrdaking

:05:45.:05:46.

end to what could have been Jersey's Well, after the match, Emma

:05:47.:05:52.

caught up with the Jersey tdam. A defeat for the Jersey pairs.

:05:53.:06:23.

Lindsay and Katie join me now. How are you feeling? Very disappointed.

:06:24.:06:28.

It was a brilliant match and we thought we had it and it went down

:06:29.:06:35.

to the last two bowls, so wd are disappointed. You were leadhng and

:06:36.:06:40.

dominating the match most of the way. I think you only fell behind

:06:41.:06:46.

twice in the whole game. Ye`h, I mean, we were a couple down and we

:06:47.:06:52.

got the second ball and the skip played a good bowl and we h`ven t

:06:53.:06:57.

really been dropping counts so it was quite a crucial end. Just

:06:58.:07:04.

devastated. Did the weight of a possible medal on your shoulders

:07:05.:07:08.

play any part in today? probably the scariest much we've

:07:09.:07:15.

ever played but I road on that and the adrenaline got

:07:16.:07:29.

us going and we both had a good game that something to be pleased about?

:07:30.:07:39.

I'm sure when we get home and the time being, it is still too raw

:07:40.:07:51.

Thank you very much. There is still some Channel Island

:07:52.:07:55.

interest left at the games. Jersey don't have a team

:07:56.:07:57.

at the Games. It's live here on BBC One,

:07:58.:07:58.

as is the women's and men's cycling We've got plenty of riders,

:07:59.:08:00.

including Guernsey's Tobyn Horton. As the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow

:08:01.:08:07.

come to an end this weekend, it's been applauded

:08:08.:08:10.

for integrating disability sports. Nations such as Rwanda,

:08:11.:08:12.

Cameroon and Mauritius are among the 22 countries that have

:08:13.:08:15.

sent disabled athletes to compete. But none have gone from the

:08:16.:08:19.

Channel Islands. In a special report, Mike Whlkins

:08:20.:08:22.

looks at the reasons why and whether These para`athletes are havhng their

:08:23.:08:25.

chance to compete on a glob`l stage. 22 countries have sent para`athletes

:08:26.:08:36.

to the Commonwealth Games ` One of those who would love to have

:08:37.:08:39.

been there is this Guernsey Sarah started swimming

:08:40.:08:45.

when she was four Following weeks in a coma,

:08:46.:08:48.

she suffered brain damage She's one of the island's top

:08:49.:08:54.

hopes for the next Paralymphcs. But competing with the best comes

:08:55.:09:01.

at a cost ` with travel, specialist equipment

:09:02.:09:03.

and someone to physically hdlp her. She says she doesn't really get

:09:04.:09:07.

any financial support on island They could make it more equ`l. I

:09:08.:09:24.

think they fund more for able`bodied athletes, rather than disabled. I've

:09:25.:09:29.

contacted the Guernsey sports commission because I want to do

:09:30.:09:36.

nationals at the swearing in November but I first started in

:09:37.:09:44.

February and I've still not about an actual definite answer, so they

:09:45.:09:49.

might have forgotten. I don't know. Sarah is training hard by md and

:09:50.:09:52.

has to meet some very tough financial commitments to be`t

:09:53.:09:54.

abroad. But it isn't just the money. Sarah's disability category means

:09:55.:10:00.

that she won't be allowed to compete at some events.

:10:01.:10:01.

Each disabled athlete falls into a category.

:10:02.:10:03.

For swimming there are categories ranging from S1 to S10.

:10:04.:10:05.

Sarah's classed as S5, but at the Games in Glasgow they're

:10:06.:10:06.

For more categories to open up, more countries need to be

:10:07.:10:13.

represented ` something the patron of Guernsey's Disability

:10:14.:10:16.

Alliance and former Paralympian Tanni Grey`Thompson is callhng for.

:10:17.:10:23.

Just a platform. There are lot of people here who will get no coverage

:10:24.:10:33.

at home but the Commonwealth gives them that so Glasgow has been

:10:34.:10:40.

amazing but we need to keep working to get more countries sending

:10:41.:10:43.

athletes and that means acttally having

:10:44.:10:49.

there yet across the whole Commonwealth.

:10:50.:10:51.

Well, speaking from Glasgow, Guernsey's Sports Commission says

:10:52.:10:52.

efforts are under way ` but don't expect anything soon.

:10:53.:10:56.

What we're doing at the momdnt is trying to create the environment

:10:57.:11:04.

within sport where we can look to send a Paralympics team in the

:11:05.:11:06.

future but I think that's Taking away the financial

:11:07.:11:09.

and category obstacles, for athletes like Sarah, thd chance

:11:10.:11:10.

to compete is an opportunitx to be Two it looks like the weathdr turns
