:01:00. > :01:02.Attempts are being made to speed up a vital link to secure Guernsey's

:01:03. > :01:07.The only cable that the island has to import electricity

:01:08. > :01:11.It comes as Guernsey Electricity announces further losses in

:01:22. > :01:24.And this is pretty much the route that the island's only

:01:25. > :01:41.Behind me, beneath this slipway is where the cable comes ashore. A

:01:42. > :01:45.couple of years ago, this cable broke but was subsequently fixed.

:01:46. > :01:52.There is now concerned that the condition of the cable has

:01:53. > :01:55.deteriorated faster than expected. We've noticed that the existing

:01:56. > :02:00.cable is not as healthy as it should be, we're now looking at how we can

:02:01. > :02:05.fast`track a replacement for the cable between the two islands. That

:02:06. > :02:06.should be done next year or the year after.

:02:07. > :02:08.Work is underway to improve the security of supply.

:02:09. > :02:10.There are two cables between Jersey and France,

:02:11. > :02:15.A new link is expected to come online in the next few months.

:02:16. > :02:18.There are also plans for a second cable between Guernsey and Jersey,

:02:19. > :02:20.with Guernsey also looking to have a direct connection to France.

:02:21. > :02:24.All this comes at a cost, and with a mild winter resulting in less energy

:02:25. > :02:28.consumed, Guernsey Electricity has once again failed to make a profit.

:02:29. > :02:31.It has however stemmed the loss of previous years.

:02:32. > :02:36.In 2012, both the Guernsey to Jersey and Jersey to France cables failed,

:02:37. > :02:41.leading to a loss of ?3.4million as well as a price hike for customers.

:02:42. > :02:44.Last year things picked up with a shortfall of over a quarter

:02:45. > :02:50.Installing and maintaining underwater cables

:02:51. > :02:54.can be expensive, but GE says prices shouldn't fluctuate too much

:02:55. > :03:06.I can't give an insurance in terms of the wholesale cost. If the

:03:07. > :03:12.wholesale costs go up significantly, we will have to pass those through.

:03:13. > :03:15.The good news is that we can see predictability that they will remain

:03:16. > :03:17.at around the same level for the next two years.

:03:18. > :03:19.The existing cable that lies beneath remains a concern

:03:20. > :03:21.for Guernsey Electricity, who say it's working with

:03:22. > :03:28.manufacturer to try and understand why it's causing so many problems.

:03:29. > :03:31.A 22`year`old man has been charged with the burglary of a Guernsey

:03:37. > :03:38.Mason Turner from the South of England appeared in

:03:39. > :03:40.Guernsey's Magistrates Court this afternoon and reserved his plea.

:03:41. > :03:46.He's due to reappear in court again on September the 12th.

:03:47. > :03:48.The much`loved and oldest orangutan at Jersey's Durrell Wildlife

:03:49. > :03:52.Gina made the headlines when her last infant was born

:03:53. > :03:56.by caesarean section and was delivered by a hospital consultant.

:03:57. > :04:03.This is back in 2005, when Gina's infant Jaya was

:04:04. > :04:09.Then it was all celebration for two lives saved.

:04:10. > :04:11.And recently Gina featured in Refugees of the Lost Rainforest

:04:12. > :04:15.on BBC1, a programme made by BBC Jersey.

:04:16. > :04:19.But today there's sadness as Gina died late last night.

:04:20. > :04:22.She'd shown no signs of illness and was found by her keeper

:04:23. > :04:29.She came to the conservation park in 1968, after being confiscated from

:04:30. > :04:34.Gina spent 46 years at Durrell, bearing

:04:35. > :04:48.We are saddened by it. She was a long`standing character, much loved

:04:49. > :04:54.here. By staff, volunteers and our visitors as well. She has left a

:04:55. > :04:57.great legacy in terms of her offspring and the fact she was well

:04:58. > :04:59.liked and the memories she has left people.

:05:00. > :05:01.A life`size bronze statue of Gina has stood at the entrance to

:05:02. > :05:04.Durrell's Headquarters since the opening of the new Visitor

:05:05. > :05:11.A fitting tribute to a much`loved and now to be missed orangutan.

:05:12. > :05:14.Safety fears for Jersey's air space and residents has lead to a new law

:05:15. > :05:17.on small unmanned aircrafts, otherwise known as drones.

:05:18. > :05:21.Up until now only model aircrafts have had to abide by regulations,

:05:22. > :05:24.but as the popularity of these small aerial vehicles, used

:05:25. > :05:28.to capture photos and videos grows, so does the concern of a collision.

:05:29. > :05:42.Yes, I am ready to take off, so, if you are good to go are six minutes

:05:47. > :05:48.to capture Jersey As he does this commercially,

:05:49. > :05:52.he has to have a licence, but those They've had the freedom to fly

:05:53. > :05:58.where they want, until today. A new law has come

:05:59. > :06:02.into force to prevent collisions. These new regulations now mean that

:06:03. > :06:06.small aerial vehicles cannot be used within fifty metres of any building,

:06:07. > :06:11.vehicle or person unless they are They also can't fly above 400 feet,

:06:12. > :06:19.and within two miles of the airport. In April there was the first ever UK

:06:20. > :06:30.prosecution for breaking these rules Was what you do the sensible or

:06:31. > :06:37.reckless? You need to be not over people, those risks that you have

:06:38. > :06:38.articulated. If one was to malfunction, we don't want it

:06:39. > :06:40.falling on somebody. when this drone flew over

:06:41. > :06:44.a nuclear submarine facility Steve has also seen other wreckless

:06:45. > :07:02.flying, so welcomes the new law. The law is of common sense as much

:07:03. > :07:06.as anything. Anyone doing it commercially should not be tarnished

:07:07. > :07:09.with a bad name for someone flying near the airport or in front of a

:07:10. > :07:10.plane. The new law will also be applied to

:07:11. > :07:12.Guernsey later this month, meaning all aircraft big or small

:07:13. > :07:22.will land safely. You're watching the BBC

:08:22. > :08:28.electricity. As we know, height of the season, it could have been

:08:29. > :08:38.better times. But these things happen, I am hoping we can come to a

:08:39. > :08:45.quick, swift solution. At the moment, when people use the museum

:08:46. > :08:51.they can park here. But when the houses are built it will be lost.

:08:52. > :08:55.Many are injured soldiers. I am worried that it will be too far for

:08:56. > :09:04.these guys to walk. I hope we'll get dispensation. Hopefully the parish

:09:05. > :09:09.doesn't mind. If their minibus was to be able to pull in them off that

:09:10. > :09:22.would be fantastic. The new owner of the chateaux has told the

:09:23. > :09:27.the museum has been here for a quarter of a century. The chateaux

:09:28. > :09:31.will be demolished in the next few weeks. The owner hopes his life work

:09:32. > :09:36.will not go with it. The showery weather we've been

:09:37. > :09:38.having has meant perfect conditions for waterspouts to form over

:12:10. > :12:11.A senior figure at Plymouth University is claiming

:12:12. > :12:14.she's been forced out of her role as part of the ongoing dispute

:12:15. > :12:18.In a statement today Barbara Bond criticises the University's Board

:12:19. > :12:21.of Governors for the way they are running the university, and

:12:22. > :12:23.for their decision to effectively suspend the Vice Chancellor Wendy

:12:24. > :12:25.The university denies dismissing Mrs Bond.

:12:26. > :12:27.Our correspondent Neil Gallacher is following this story

:12:28. > :12:40.Let's start with Mrs Bond, who is she? She has held a number of senior

:12:41. > :12:47.positions and is a former chairman of the governors. She has been an

:12:48. > :12:53.ambassador, and is also an MBE. Her role as Chancellor came to end last

:12:54. > :12:56.month but she said she was asked by Wendy Purcell to do another term.

:12:57. > :13:01.The university has said that her role came to a natural end. She said

:13:02. > :13:08.it was brought to an end. Barbara Bond has criticised the Board of

:13:09. > :13:12.Governors. Yes, essentially. At the heart of this is a bitter dispute

:13:13. > :13:18.between the chief executive Wendy Purcell and the chairman of the

:13:19. > :13:20.board of governors, a retired judge. Wendy Purcell was placed on leave by

:13:21. > :13:25.the board of governors last month and we do not know why. Today,

:13:26. > :13:29.Barbara Bond is calling on the board to reinstate Wendy Purcell before

:13:30. > :13:39.they do any more damage to the University. Mrs Bond has said she

:13:40. > :13:42.has long`standing concerns about the questionable governance practice of

:13:43. > :13:47.the University and she says the board lacks the experience. I gather

:13:48. > :13:53.Mrs Bond has been in dialogue with the University's regulators? Yes,

:13:54. > :14:01.Barbara Bond said she went to see the regulator. What is the

:14:02. > :14:06.University saying? They say they strongly refute any suggestion that

:14:07. > :14:12.the University is in crisis, and they point out that the university

:14:13. > :14:15.was visited by the regulated and found no evidence to investigate

:14:16. > :14:21.Barbara Bond's complaint for themselves. We know that the

:14:22. > :14:30.regulator the deeds ask for the university to be investigated but

:14:31. > :14:32.University have pointed out that the case against Wendy Purcell is

:14:33. > :14:33.something for the university to investigate. We will watch this

:14:34. > :14:36.space. South west fishermen are about to

:14:37. > :14:39.begin further trials using CCTV to cut down on the amount of fish

:14:40. > :14:42.being thrown back into the sea. They've told Spotlight they're keen

:14:43. > :14:45.to reduce the overall amount of discards, but believe some

:14:46. > :14:47.species such as young monkfish can have good survival rates

:14:48. > :14:50.if they're returned to the sea. Our Environment Correspondent Adrian

:14:51. > :15:05.Campbell reports. A small number of south`west vessels

:15:06. > :15:07.have been fitted with CCTV and are being monitored to make sure they

:15:08. > :15:13.bring back everything they catch. It is part of trials using different

:15:14. > :15:18.net sizes which cuts the amount of fish being thrown back into the sea.

:15:19. > :15:26.We are trying to ensure that certain species are not discarded. We

:15:27. > :15:30.reviewed the footage from the cameras to make sure soul is not

:15:31. > :15:35.discarded. This was filmed by fishermen. Many fishermen leave it

:15:36. > :15:40.makes sense to throw them back into the sea. Juvenile monkfish are

:15:41. > :15:47.susceptible to being caught in trawls. We are trying to highlight

:15:48. > :15:53.the high survival rate of juvenile monkfish so they can be returned to

:15:54. > :15:57.the sea in future. New European regulations to reduce the amount of

:15:58. > :16:01.fish put back into the sea start to take effect from next year. There is

:16:02. > :16:05.uncertainty about how these new rules will be enforced but fishermen

:16:06. > :16:09.say they are worried that they will be expected to bring back every

:16:10. > :16:16.single fish they catch, including those of no value. We will have

:16:17. > :16:22.doctors and boxes of fish. `` boxes and boxes. Fishermen say they are

:16:23. > :16:27.working with scientists to show that they are returning some fish the sea

:16:28. > :16:31.and it can help conservation. Onto this evening's sport now and

:23:57. > :24:03.evening. The rainfall amounts are the ones that are important, and the

:24:04. > :24:15.rainfall that fell just up the hill from Boscastle was here. 200

:24:16. > :24:21.millimetres of rain. That means 2 million tonnes of water and that is

:24:22. > :24:25.the reason for all the damage. Hopefully, this weekend, there will

:24:37. > :24:40.are looking to the north for our weather. This stripe of cloud is a

:24:41. > :24:44.weather system coming into Scotland's first. At thin line of

:24:45. > :24:51.cloud but it does induce quite a change. We move down across Scotland

:24:52. > :25:02.and Northern Ireland. On Sunday morning, it will be across us. We

:25:03. > :25:10.are going to see a drop in the temperatures. Not bad this evening,

:25:16. > :25:17.Somerset. They will fade away overnight largely clear which means

:25:18. > :25:24.it will turn chilly. Temperatures overnight will be 11 or 12 degrees.

:25:52. > :25:56.the coast, 16 or 17 degrees. Where the brightness is in East Devon, 19
