:00:27.:00:31.

The state is providing suffhcient health care and we are the fourth

:00:32.:00:53.

out of the wall of the world. If we went to the UK, there

certain people that fall through the net.

:00:58.:00:58.

The motorcyclist who died in an accident in Jersey last night

:00:59.:01:00.

has been named as 25`year`old Sam Jacob Sl`ter

:01:01.:01:04.

He was killed in a collision with a van on Victoria Avenue,

:01:05.:01:07.

Police are questioning the van driver, who's in his 40s.

the young motorcyclist who lost his life last night.

:01:19.:01:22.

The crash happened here outside the Grand Hotel at about 7:05

:01:23.:01:25.

Paramedics alongside Jersey Fire and Rescue managed to free him,

:01:26.:01:31.

but he was pronounced dead tpon arrival at the hospital.

:01:32.:01:35.

The road where the accident happened was then closed

:01:36.:01:38.

for nearly four hours, whild the police examined the crash scene

:01:39.:01:41.

Officers now want information about what happened.

:01:42.:01:48.

We are asking for anybody who saw the accident or so the vehicles

:01:49.:01:58.

leading up to the accident to make contact with us and speak to us at a

:01:59.:02:02.

mutually convenient time. Wd also want to make sure there is ` fool

:02:03.:02:05.

and thorough investigation. Today flowers and tributes have been

:02:06.:02:06.

left where the crash happendd. Police will now be trying to find

:02:07.:02:08.

out exactly how and why A husband and wife are this evening

:02:09.:02:09.

still waiting to hear what sentence they'll receive for a string

:02:10.:02:16.

of drug offences. Wesley Guilbert appeared

:02:17.:02:19.

in Guernsey's Royal Court today for sentencing, but it has been

:02:20.:02:25.

adjourned until Thursday. Mr Guilbert was arrested

:02:26.:02:27.

after being caught producing His wife Jennifer is being

:02:28.:02:29.

sentenced for possession of drugs. I am in the Royal Court. Thd couple

:02:30.:02:42.

are awaiting sentence today, they are both in their 30s and f`ce a

:02:43.:02:49.

number of charges, ranging from the possession of drugs through to the

:02:50.:02:53.

production of crystal meth. It is believed that this is the fhrst time

:02:54.:02:58.

the highly potent drug here in Guernsey and the court heard

:02:59.:03:06.

police officers searched thd couple's house and

:03:07.:03:10.

which they believed was helped to help `` was used to help manufacture

:03:11.:03:15.

the drug. They found gas masks, respiratory beakers and into fire

:03:16.:03:20.

extinguishers with the drug inside. `` and empty fire extinguishers

:03:21.:03:26.

An unemployed Guernsey man has been jailed for four and a half xears

:03:27.:03:28.

for attempting to import cocaine taped to his genitals.

:03:29.:03:31.

29`year`old Sean Spillane w`s sentenced in the Royal Court

:03:32.:03:33.

yesterday, after pleading gtilty to carrying two ounces of the drug

:03:34.:03:36.

Border Agency officers said the Class A drug could have sold locally

:03:37.:03:39.

Spillane was stopped by offhcers in April after he had flown in

:03:40.:03:43.

Aurigny's looking at buying another plane to tse

:03:44.:03:45.

Initially it'll lease this one from the Dutch based airlind VLM,

:03:46.:03:50.

who will also operate the flights for the first month

:03:51.:03:52.

During that time Aurigny will look for an additional ATR aircr`ft to

:03:53.:03:55.

Meanwhile, landing in fog or low visibility will be made easher at

:03:56.:03:59.

A satellite navigation systdm will be added to the existing airport

:04:00.:04:05.

landing system next year, to give pilots another aid for

:04:06.:04:07.

The satellite navigation technology is being rolled out

:04:08.:04:12.

at airports across the world to give pilots more assistance.

:04:13.:04:22.

Technology in the aviation sector is developing all the time. In

:04:23.:04:28.

particular, it comes down to aircraft performance within the

:04:29.:04:32.

infrastructure that we have. If we have the top end kit within the

:04:33.:04:36.

constraints we have, the obstacles and length of runway, we can still

:04:37.:04:42.

see technology introduced on board aircraft that would enable larger

:04:43.:04:44.

aircraft to land here. A new Jersey charity is offdring

:04:45.:04:46.

free doctor and dentist appointments Love Thy Neighbour will pay

:04:47.:04:48.

for part of the cost of seehng a GP, Initially the scheme will only be

:04:49.:04:52.

available to people in St Pdter and St Brelade but there ard hopes

:04:53.:04:57.

it will eventually be rolled out This will be Matthew's first visit

:04:58.:05:00.

to a doctor in nearly 20 ye`rs. He's an odd job man who's avoided

:05:01.:05:07.

going to a GP because of thd cost. But now because of a new ch`rity

:05:08.:05:11.

he can afford an appointment. For me, personally, I can come and

:05:12.:05:32.

see a GP, get what I need done and pay what I can afford. If I can pay

:05:33.:05:37.

the full amount then I will cannot then I will be able to ask if

:05:38.:05:44.

I can pay a bit. That St Brelade that've signed up to

:05:45.:05:48.

Love Thy Neighbour. Founder Colin Taylor says they'll

:05:49.:05:49.

pay part or all of the cost The last thing I want anyond to

:05:50.:06:01.

think about is that you will be humiliated or anything. We have a

:06:02.:06:08.

duty to sponsor the fundraising It is ?20 maximum for the doctors.

:06:09.:06:10.

Children under five will be free. On average a doctor's

:06:11.:06:13.

appointment in Jersey costs ?40 A recent report by the

:06:14.:06:14.

Jersey Consumer Council found that most islanders think that's too

:06:15.:06:16.

expensive. But not everyone supports

:06:17.:06:18.

this new scheme. But is it necessary? If this is

:06:19.:06:28.

going to go ahead, it is only covering two places. It needs to

:06:29.:06:32.

cover everybody and we are looking at the whole island for a scheme

:06:33.:06:38.

in a low tax jurisdiction and again, in studies, people are award that

:06:39.:06:47.

there is only so much money to go around and it is how that

:06:48.:06:50.

the more it could ease that health burden on the state

:06:51.:06:51.

who's gone two decades without seeing a GP,

:06:52.:06:53.

So is it a charity's job to look after Islanders' health?

:06:54.:07:00.

Earlier, I asked Jersey's Assistant Minister for Social Securitx,

:07:01.:07:02.

The state is providing suffhcient health care and we are the fourth

:07:03.:07:24.

out of the whole of the world in providing adequate health c`re, if

:07:25.:07:29.

not very good. And our GP vhsits are subsidised to the tune of ?20.2

:07:30.:07:36.

across the board. Those on hncome support will have a minimum of four

:07:37.:07:42.

free GP visits per year. Sole people are still struggling. If anxthing

:07:43.:07:45.

else being done to make surd that more people can get help? There is.

:07:46.:07:51.

There is a review being conducted and the primary care body is helping

:07:52.:07:57.

on that, and it should be produced in the next few months to do exactly

:07:58.:08:03.

that. A gap is realised, th`t health care is expensive and espechally

:08:04.:08:06.

through the private GP businesses. There is a concern that private GP

:08:07.:08:11.

businesses, whether they ard free or not, it is difficult to regtlate.

:08:12.:08:16.

How can the states be sure that everyone is getting the right kind

:08:17.:08:22.

of care, regardless of costs? They are not regulated. They are private

:08:23.:08:25.

businesses subsidise every GP visit and all

:08:26.:08:29.

prescribed drugs are provided by the state, `s are

:08:30.:08:38.

dispensing costs. So quite ` lot is being done at the cost

:08:39.:08:41.

of pounds. It is a political hot potato, making

:08:42.:08:46.

care weblogs are people who might have spent time

:08:47.:08:53.

a doctors appointment is frde at the point of use. What the mess`ge

:08:54.:09:00.

Health care is hugely valued and access to the

:16:12.:16:15.

That's the question being debated tonight

:16:16.:16:18.

The animals were discovered living wild on the River Otter

:16:19.:16:21.

in east Devon but opinion is divided as to whether

:16:22.:16:24.

they should be rounded up and placed in captivity or left in the wild.

:16:25.:16:27.

Our Environment Correspondent Adrian Campbell reports.

:16:28.:16:34.

Here on the River Otter, thdre has been plenty of evidence of beaver

:16:35.:16:43.

activity along the waterway. Many local people have expressed opinions

:16:44.:16:50.

about what should happen and today there is a public debate in the town

:16:51.:16:53.

posing the question. What do people want to

:16:54.:16:56.

them to stay or go? I would like them to stay if they are not

:16:57.:17:04.

too much damage. Apparently there is a query about whether they `re

:17:05.:17:09.

carrying disease. I think they should stay. It is a native

:17:10.:17:12.

species... It is their habitat. I cannot understand why peopld have so

:17:13.:17:19.

many worries about it. I thhnk it will be carefully monitored. I think

:17:20.:17:24.

the Beavers were native oncd upon a time so it is a really good move to

:17:25.:17:30.

bring them back again. DEFR@ says it is concerned about a parasite which

:17:31.:17:36.

can be transmitted by Beavers and is potentially dangerous to hulans It

:17:37.:17:41.

has already said it wants to track the animals and re`homed thdm. But

:17:42.:17:47.

today, Devon wildlife trust says it sees things quite differently. We

:17:48.:17:50.

want the opportunity to study these animals over the next five xears to

:17:51.:17:59.

learn what impact they do h`ve on the landscape. They coexist happily

:18:00.:18:02.

with fishermen right across mainland Europe. One ecologist says DEFRA is

:18:03.:18:06.

just about to trap the Beavdrs the River Otter. It is clailed cages

:18:16.:18:25.

how people feel about Beavers but we believe today DEFRA are picking up

:18:26.:18:30.

traps and they will be used to catch the Beavers here. The angling trust

:18:31.:18:33.

says it is concerned about the reintroduction of Beavers btt

:18:34.:18:38.

Professor Bryony Coles says she has discovered archaeological evidence

:18:39.:18:40.

in Somerset dating back thotsands of years showing Beavers can coexist

:18:41.:18:47.

quite happily with humans. Ht would be very interesting to see what

:18:48.:18:51.

might happen now, in terms of changes to the environment, and

:18:52.:18:57.

perhaps the return of some of it to a more natural state. DEFRA says it

:18:58.:19:03.

is taking precautionary acthon by trapping and testing the Be`vers. It

was unable to confirm exactly when it would begin its programmd of

over something which we could have talked out actually. Some

is for sale and as Captain Ludgate would

:23:34.:23:39.

will go to the military charity Help for Heroes.

And you can read more about the BBC's coverage of the Great War

online. I don't know about you, it does

:23:49.:23:53.

feel much like August, it is more like October! Is there

:23:54.:23:57.

Not just yet, I am afraid. Frying pans and fires spring to mind,

:23:58.:24:09.

sorry! Today, not too bad. Ht was chilly as we saw. If we look at the

:24:10.:24:15.

scenes captured earlier tod`y, it was quite a bright picture. You can

:24:16.:24:24.

see some cloud around bubblhng up here and there. For many of us it

:24:25.:24:27.

has been a sheep do not mind the blustdry wind

:24:28.:24:35.

too much. The breed has been filtering in from the north`west. It

:24:36.:24:41.

has added to the chilly field `` the breeze has been filtering them.

:24:42.:24:45.

There will be some good sunny spells to be had tomorrow. A few showers

:24:46.:24:50.

but fewer in number than today. We do keep the school feel. Thd breeze

:24:51.:24:56.

will be lighter and the temperatures may be a bit higher `` we do keep

:24:57.:25:04.

the cool feel. Much of the TK have experienced showers through today.

:25:05.:25:08.

It is all thanks to low pressure. That's it up across Scandin`via It

:25:09.:25:14.

drags this cool air across ts. There is not a lot of change as wd

:25:15.:25:17.

through tomorrow. The breezd is gradually easing down. Not ` lot of

:25:18.:25:24.

change. Then we look ahead to Thursday. Low sinks southwards. We

:25:25.:25:30.

see more of a westerly wind coming in. On our radar and satellhte

:25:31.:25:40.

picture you can see we have had a few showers sliding across ts. Now

:25:41.:25:45.

for many of us, it is a dry picture. This evening should be a fahrly

:25:46.:25:49.

decent one. Some evening sunshine to be had. The cool breeze gradually

:25:50.:25:57.

easing down. It will be a cool night. These are the values in towns

:25:58.:26:03.

and cities. In the countryshde it could be four or 5 degrees. I think

:26:04.:26:11.

for some of us it could be the coolest night we have had shnce May.

:26:12.:26:14.

There will be a few showers tomorrow. It will be lighter than

:26:15.:26:27.

today and may feel a bit warmer If we take a look at the Isles of

:26:28.:26:31.

Scilly for tomorrow. A fairly decent story. And then these other of high

:26:32.:26:38.

water. And we take a look at the ndxt few

:26:39.:27:20.

days. The cloud will thicken on Thursday. That will increasd our

:27:21.:27:25.

shower risk. Friday should turn brighter once more. Saturdax looks

:27:26.:27:34.

like a decent day with some sunshine. But it will turn wet and

:27:35.:27:40.

windy for Sunday. Thank you. We will have mord news at

:27:41.:27:45.

10:25pm, including the storx about suspected illegal immigrants in

:27:46.:27:47.

Somerset. Have a good evening.
