:00:13. > :00:14.Good evening and welcome to BBC Channel Islands. Coming up:
:00:15. > :00:18.Condor takes its new boat to Poole, ending 80 years of Channel Hslands
:00:19. > :00:29.We all hope to bring more pdople to the island, trying to get pdople to
:00:30. > :00:32.come over through marketing. Plus we speak to
:00:33. > :00:46.a Guernsey teenager who won gold enjoying it.
:00:47. > :00:49.And another bright day on the way tomorrow. Just a couple of
:00:50. > :00:59.showers, but a good chance of staying dry.
:01:00. > :01:02.Condor Ferries has bought a new ?50 million,
:01:03. > :01:04.high`speed ferry to sail between the Channel Islands and the UK.
:01:05. > :01:07.The new vessel will replace two boats currently serving the routes.
:01:08. > :01:09.But the Austal 102 will onlx sail to Poole after Weymouth
:01:10. > :01:14.Condor says the new boat will be bigger, more reliable and whll be
:01:15. > :01:29.That's how Condor's describhng its new ferry.
:01:30. > :01:36.It'll sail in poorer weather and we are told will offer a smoother ride.
:01:37. > :01:47.A real wow factor for the island, great news for inbound tourhsts and
:01:48. > :01:55.islanders getting off the islands. It will be a new state`of`the`art
:01:56. > :01:57.ferry and an important time for us and the future of ferry travel for
:01:58. > :01:58.the islands. That's a big investment,
:01:59. > :02:00.and only went ahead after both Jersey and Guernsey's
:02:01. > :02:02.governments agreed to give But are passengers happy with
:02:03. > :02:21.the arrangement? Beatle fair play to them investing
:02:22. > :02:23.with new modern technology. We need some more competition.
:02:24. > :02:34.We spend ?1 million EA in the UK to get
:02:35. > :02:43.and we want more people to come and islanders travelling to use the
:02:44. > :02:48.ferry. That is where we are going to regroup the investment. So
:02:49. > :02:52.rule out a price change? Prhces are closely monitored by the St`tes and
:02:53. > :02:53.they will continue to be so. So fares will be monitored,
:02:54. > :02:54.but Condor isn't ruling out a rise. The only thing that's certahn is
:02:55. > :02:55.that the boat arriving here from the UK will look very different
:02:56. > :03:02.next year. Well, businesses in Weymouth have
:03:03. > :03:04.been counting the cost of losing It generates millions of potnds for
:03:05. > :03:08.the local economy, supports hundreds of jobs and for centuries h`s been
:03:09. > :03:11.the gateway to the Channel Hslands. Chris Harrison looks
:03:12. > :03:19.at the history of the sea lhnk. This was Weymouth
:03:20. > :03:23.harbour 80 years ago. It's long been the port linking
:03:24. > :03:26.the Channel Islands and the UK. In the mid 19th century a r`ilway
:03:27. > :03:30.was laid to connect the trahn to the ferries, allowing Jersex Royal
:03:31. > :03:34.potatoes and tomatoes to be exported to the UK and tourists to vhsit
:03:35. > :03:39.the Channel Islands with ease. It's seen plenty of new ferries
:03:40. > :04:16.too, but it won't be welcomhng Big it plays an important role in
:04:17. > :04:21.our local economy, but equally, we have is a council bin mindftl of
:04:22. > :04:22.seeing these things within our strategic agenda going forw`rd.
:04:23. > :04:23.And tourism bosses in the islands are worried that the change
:04:24. > :04:38.Weymouth has been a main pohnt of departure for Jersey for many years,
:04:39. > :04:42.and when we didn't have a Wdymouth service due to the problems of last
:04:43. > :04:47.year, we did lose some result, so we will have to work hard
:04:48. > :04:50.to make sure repairing its harbour in thd past
:04:51. > :04:52.few years, its days as a gateway between our isles and the m`inland
:04:53. > :04:59.will end in spring next year. Wages increased more quicklx than
:05:00. > :05:01.inflation in Jersey last ye`r. Figures from the States show
:05:02. > :05:03.salaries increased by 2.6%, with Prices are rising more slowly,
:05:04. > :05:16.with inflation currently at 1.6 . The van driver being questioned
:05:17. > :05:18.in relation to a fatal collhsion in Jersey has been released while
:05:19. > :05:21.police continue their investigation. 25`year`old motorcyclist Sal Slater

:05:35. > :05:35.charges relating to the dangerous Timothy Le Cheminant appeardd in
:05:36. > :05:40.the Magistrates court this lorning. It was emphasised the condition
:05:41. > :05:43.of the lorry was not responsible for, or linked to, the collhsion
:05:44. > :05:46.at Salarie Corner in April 2013 The case was adjourned,
:05:47. > :05:49.and a trial date wasn't set. You're watching the BBC

:06:22. > :06:32.about to compete in the 50m freestyle final
:06:33. > :06:42.at the Youth Olympics in Nanjing. He wasn't far off the pace,
:06:43. > :06:44.but not quite enough But yesterday he,
:06:45. > :06:51.along with his Team GB teamlates, stunned the swimming world when
:06:52. > :07:09.they won gold in the 4x100m relay. That was amazing. Winning gold was a
:07:10. > :07:12.really good end to the season. I'm really enjoying it.
:07:13. > :07:22.Every champion has to start somewhere, and for miles, it was
:07:23. > :07:28.here in the small pool, where he won his first medal. He got his duckling
:07:29. > :07:37.badge and his puffin badges. first medal was when he was five
:07:38. > :07:43.years old, he came second swimming ten metres with a float. He had
:07:44. > :07:45.good kick, so that proved that point, and the next year he won
:07:46. > :07:46.Well, Miles has obviously come a very long way since then,
:07:47. > :07:49.He reached the semifinals in two events at last month's Commonwealth
:07:50. > :07:54.Games and now can add a Youth Olympic gold to his collecthon.
:07:55. > :08:02.It has been a very long season. European Juniors before thel as
:08:03. > :08:04.well. So I am starting to gdt a bit tired now.
:08:05. > :08:06.So, while Miles enjoys a well deserved rest, many hn the
:08:07. > :08:09.swimming world are now wonddring how far he can go, especially whth the

:08:26. > :08:27.Cyril Baldock from Bondi Be`ch in Sydney completed
:08:28. > :08:30.He's three months older than Roger was when he completed the swim
:08:31. > :08:47.Still an impressive feat at any age and any time of year, but the sea is
:08:48. > :08:51.fairly warm at the moment. What is the weather looking like?
:08:52. > :08:55.It might be warm in the sea, but I don't think
:08:56. > :10:35.For our surfers, the waves `re a little disappointing. Perhaps one or
:10:36. > :10:40.two showers on Saturday, and then Sunday starts drive the trahn moves

:11:08. > :11:13.A Falmouth said the men suffered "serious injuries"
:11:14. > :11:16.and the thoughts of everyond at the company were with thdm.
:11:17. > :11:25.The Health and Safety Executive has been informed.
:11:26. > :11:28.An review into mental health services for young people in England
:11:29. > :11:30.has been welcomed by a family from Cornwall whose son died
:11:31. > :11:33.The Health mMinister Norman Lamb has described services as
:11:34. > :11:39.He's set up a "task force" to find out how they can be improved.
:11:40. > :11:42.In a moment, we'll be hearing from a member of that task force, but first
:11:43. > :11:46.18`year`old Ben Cowburn frol Truro took his own life at the
:11:47. > :11:51.Longreach House Adult Mental Health Unit in Cornwall in 2010.
:11:52. > :11:55.His parents set up the Invictus Trust to campaign for
:11:56. > :12:01.a specialist unit for young people with acute mental health issues
:12:02. > :12:05.Plans for the unit are advanced but are waiting on NHS fundhng
:12:06. > :12:10.The family welcome the ministerial interest.
:12:11. > :12:13.Norman Lamb outlines a numbdr of points that we have discovered
:12:14. > :12:17.through talking to young people and their families.
:12:18. > :12:20.Priorities that we see as rdally, really important,
:12:21. > :12:24.so it is completely in line with the Invictus C`mpaign.
:12:25. > :12:27.I am slightly concerned that a task force means a strategy, Is
:12:28. > :12:28.this is aims, objective, etc, so th`t all
:12:29. > :12:33.adds delay to a process and I am concerned that there may be some
:12:34. > :12:37.delays in things happening, but we are very pleased that mental health
:12:38. > :12:39.is being raised up to a more appropriate level
:12:40. > :12:43.of consciousness, really. The Health Minister says thd
:12:44. > :12:47.initiative has been influenced by meeting the families of young people
:12:48. > :12:51.including Steve and Sharon Cowburn. Here he's visiting a young persons
:12:52. > :12:55.mental health unit in Essex. I want to crucially involve young
:12:56. > :13:00.people in this whole process to look at how we can modernise children's
:13:01. > :13:04.mental health services, makd the best use of the resources available,
:13:05. > :13:09.pooling all of the resources. It's a commission organised
:13:10. > :13:12.by four different organisathons We need to make that
:13:13. > :13:17.much more rational. Two of the patients at the
:13:18. > :13:21.Colchester unit are from Cornwall. Because there are between tdn
:13:22. > :13:24.and 15 young people being c`red for outside of Cornwall at `ny one
:13:25. > :13:32.time, Cornwall has to pay for that. The Cowburns say that
:13:33. > :13:35.costs ?2 million a year. The new unit would cost no lore
:13:36. > :13:37.and young people would be treated The Cornwall Partnership NHS
:13:38. > :13:42.Foundation Trust which runs mental health services in
:13:43. > :13:44.Cornwall says it welcomes the task force and that its clinical director
:13:45. > :13:47.will be providing some input. Meanwhile, it says
:13:48. > :13:50.the 30 beds here at Longreach House should reopen after building work
:13:51. > :13:58.by the end of the year. Well one member
:13:59. > :14:01.of the task force is Johnny Benjamin, he says he receivdd poor
:14:02. > :14:04.mental health care as a teenager I asked him
:14:05. > :14:08.what one thing needs changing to I mean, we know, in some ardas,
:14:09. > :14:19.funding has been cut by 94% There is no parity of esteel
:14:20. > :14:23.between physical health tre`tment Cuts keep coming to
:14:24. > :14:28.the mental health system and much Money is one thing, but it `lso
:14:29. > :14:37.depends on how that money is spent. What kinds of services
:14:38. > :14:40.on the ground are needed so that young people in particular
:14:41. > :14:44.get the help and support thdy need? We need to look at services
:14:45. > :14:47.on the ground and things like more beds and stopping young
:14:48. > :14:51.people being placed in adult wards. Also, stopping young people having
:14:52. > :14:55.to travel miles for treatment. Sometimes they have to travdl right
:14:56. > :14:57.across the country, which is really They need to be
:14:58. > :15:02.around their family and fridnds There is also
:15:03. > :15:04.a problem with waiting times. People are waiting for years
:15:05. > :15:24.for access to therapy The Minister says that the system
:15:25. > :15:27.isn't currently fit for purpose do you detect that something could come
:15:28. > :15:31.out of this task force? I do that something comes from this task
:15:32. > :15:35.force needs to change. I just hear stories
:15:36. > :15:40.of young people service. It is very rare to hear a
:15:41. > :15:47.good example of for young people, and the wrist the
:15:48. > :15:53.problem of when people turn 18, service, and so many people fall
:15:54. > :15:59.through the gap in many people are failed by the
:16:00. > :16:00.system. Thank you. The end of an era

:16:25. > :16:26.The North Devon town of Holsworthy is famous for its cattle market
:16:27. > :16:30.but today the hammer went down on the final sale in the site's
:16:31. > :16:32.last ever auction, ending a hundred years of bidding and bargaining
:16:33. > :16:35.A brand new market will soon open just outside the town,

:16:38. > :16:44.Kirk England has been to medt those seeing the end of an dra.
:16:45. > :16:55.Very sad, really, because after about 107 years, it's going.
:16:56. > :16:59.This is the last time we are coming to this market.
:17:00. > :17:01.People came from far and wide for the last ever auction
:17:02. > :17:07.Surreal, I think, that is how it feels.
:17:08. > :17:10.You're standing back and looking at what is going on.
:17:11. > :17:13.There are a lot of people hdre, farmers coming in with stock,
:17:14. > :17:17.they want to be part of history and have animals here at thd last
:17:18. > :17:23.Livestock was eventually sold on the town square, before being moved to

:17:47. > :17:49.in what is happening in terls of productivity in the area
:17:50. > :17:55.in what is happening socially in the area as well as economically.
:17:56. > :17:58.The old market site has been bought by a housing developer and Tesco
:17:59. > :18:07.We have to compete against a supermarket.
:18:08. > :18:13.We are individual traders whth their individual niche at what we
:18:14. > :18:21.No`one from Tesco was avail`ble for comment, but the local business
:18:22. > :18:27.groups say that the planned store could attract more people into town.
:18:28. > :18:30.This is the last piece to be sold through
:18:31. > :18:36.Back at the market, the last hammer falls, and people
:18:37. > :18:49.are hoping the next 100 years will be as good as the last 100.
:18:50. > :18:52.It's been the end of an era too for the Royal Navy frigate HMS Plymouth.

:18:58. > :19:09.It's believed she's heading for a port in Turkey.
:19:10. > :19:21.One of the main thing is th`t she is the surrender of South Georgia. She
:19:22. > :19:24.was involved in major action in the Falklands War and was severdly
:19:25. > :19:27.damaged during the action and claimed a number of hits on

:19:34. > :19:35.off defeat with a late penalty, while Exeter City still wait for
:19:36. > :19:38.their first win of the new season. Yeovil Town relied on two mdmbers
