:00:22. > :00:36.The few from Guernsey this morning with Jersey on the horizon and this

:00:37. > :00:43.is pretty much the route that the electricity cable runs through. This

:00:44. > :00:49.is where they cable comes to sure. A couple of years ago, this cable

:00:50. > :00:52.broke but was fixed. Now, there is increasing consummate the condition

:00:53. > :00:59.of this cable has deteriorated faster than anticipated. We have

:01:00. > :01:04.noticed that our existing cable is not as healthy as it should be. We

:01:05. > :01:15.are looking at how we can fast track replacement between the two islands.

:01:16. > :01:19.Work is underway to improve things. There are two cables between Jersey

:01:20. > :01:23.and France but only one is working. The new link is expected to come

:01:24. > :01:29.online in the next few months and there are plans for a second cable

:01:30. > :01:35.between Guernsey and Jersey. The existing cable that lies beneath

:01:36. > :01:39.remains a concern for Guernsey Electricity who say it is working

:01:40. > :01:40.with the Manufacturer to try and understand why it is causing

:01:41. > :01:45.ceremony problems. Guernsey Electricity has once

:01:46. > :01:47.again failed to make a profit. In 2012, both the Guernsey to Jersey

:01:48. > :01:50.and Jersey to France cables failed, leading to a loss of ?3.4 million as

:01:51. > :01:54.well as a price hike for customers. Last year, things picked up with

:01:55. > :01:57.a shortfall of over ?250 million. It has, however,

:01:58. > :02:00.stemmed the loss of previous years, but bosses say prices shouldn?t

:02:01. > :02:06.rise for the forseeable future. A 22`year`old man has been charged

:02:51. > :02:53.in Refugees of the Lost Rainforest on BBC One,

:02:54. > :02:58.a programme made by BBC Jersey. But today there's sadness as Gina

:02:59. > :03:01.died late last night. She'd shown no signs of illness

:03:02. > :03:04.and was found by her keeper She came to the conservation park in

:03:05. > :03:09.1968, after being confiscated from bearing and raising six precious

:03:10. > :03:30.babies. We are standard by it. She was much

:03:31. > :03:36.love. By staff, volunteers and our visitors as well. But she has left a

:03:37. > :03:39.great legacy in terms of her offspring and she was well liked and

:03:40. > :03:45.the memories she has left with people.

:03:46. > :03:48.A life`size bronze statue of Gina has stood at the entrance to

:03:49. > :03:50.Durrell's headquarters since the opening of the new visitor

:03:51. > :03:57.Safety fears for Jersey's air space and residents has lead to a new law

:03:58. > :03:59.on small unmanned aircraft, otherwise known as drones.

:04:00. > :04:02.Up until now, only model aircraft have had to abide by regulations,

:04:03. > :04:06.but as the popularity of these small aerial vehicles used

:04:07. > :04:10.to capture photos and videos grows, so does the concern of a collision.

:04:11. > :04:25.I am ready to take off. If I am good to go, I will be about six minutes

:04:26. > :04:25.in the air. Steve uses small unmanned aircrafts

:04:26. > :04:28.to capture Jersey As he does this commercially,

:04:29. > :04:33.he has to have a licence but those They've had the freedom to fly

:04:34. > :04:37.where they want, until today. A new law means they have to abide

:04:38. > :04:54.by the same regulations as Steve. These new regulations mean these

:04:55. > :05:00.unmanned vehicles have to operate away from buildings, vehicles and

:05:01. > :05:01.persons, unless they are under the supervision of pilots.

:05:02. > :05:04.These new regulations now means that small aerial vehicles cannot be used

:05:05. > :05:07.within 50 metres of any building, vehicle or person unless they are

:05:08. > :05:12.They also can't fly above 400 feet and within two miles of the airport.

:05:13. > :05:25.If one was to malfunction, you wouldn't want it over someone's

:05:26. > :05:34.head. There was a prosecution for breaking these rules. Steve has seen

:05:35. > :05:40.other reckless flying and welcomes the new law. The lowest common sense

:05:41. > :05:44.as much as anything. It means the industry and it commercially

:05:45. > :05:48.shouldn't be tarnished with the bad name of someone flying towards the

:05:49. > :05:52.airport or in front of a plane or whatever may happen. This law were

:05:53. > :05:57.also be applied to Guernsey later this month, meaning that all

:05:58. > :06:11.aircraft, big or small, will land safely. That is the news tonight.
