coming up shortly, after this bulletin. I think that

It comes as a group of traders in St Aubin threaten not to pay parish

:00:14.:00:25.

rates in protest over the disruption.

:00:26.:00:27.

Near empty salon has become a familiar sight to this owner.

:00:28.:00:41.

He's run the business for 12 years and thinks trade has

:00:42.:00:44.

And he's blaming these roadworks outside his front door.

:00:45.:00:54.

It is the timing, punitive or timing. It is the height of the two

wrist season. This is a holiday destination area and they have

steam`rollered this, they have killed business.

:01:07.:01:11.

Work to improve the pavements and road lay out began here in February

:01:12.:01:14.

The States department in charge says everyone's been kept informed.

:01:15.:01:24.

We spoke to residents. We decided to continue the work.

:01:25.:01:32.

14 local businesses say they'll stop paying parish rates

:01:33.:01:36.

They claim it's putting visitors off.

:01:37.:01:46.

It should have been done months ago. It doesn't bother me much. It is

:01:47.:01:56.

just here, it is no problem. At the moment, it is chaotic, it has been

:01:57.:02:01.

chaotic for weeks and weeks. We're OK, we are going by bike. In the

:02:02.:02:13.

long`term, if we allow things to not go on in the summer it is something

:02:14.:02:18.

we need to discuss on a wider scale but I really don't think it has

affected business to be a state that one or two are suggesting it has

month and should be completed A housing development

in Jersey has been named after Captain Ernest Briard died at Mons

:02:29.:02:33.

in Belgium 100 years ago. He was the first Jersey man

:02:34.:02:38.

to be killed in the war. He grew up in St Brelade

:02:39.:02:41.

and his relatives were there to I had always heard a lot about him

:02:42.:02:55.

and had always admired him. I am pleased there is somewhere here that

:02:56.:03:01.

does commemorate him and bases staying in his memory. He was born

:03:02.:03:08.

here and live too. He would like to be remembered here as he now is.

:03:09.:03:11.

After two years of preparation, the mound

:03:12.:03:13.

of 70,000 Celtic coins found in Jersey is about to be picked apart.

:03:14.:03:16.

The hoard is thought to date from around 50BC, around the start of

:03:17.:03:19.

the Roman Empire, and believed to be the biggest discovery of its kind.

:03:20.:03:22.

Heritage staff at the Jersey Museum are now cleaning

:03:23.:03:25.

and separating the coins in full view of the paying public.

:03:26.:03:28.

Clare Burton went to have a look too.

:03:29.:03:32.

Two years ago, in a field deep in rural Jersey,

:03:33.:03:34.

Well, a one tonne lump of silver and copper coins,

:03:35.:03:43.

So to free the treasure and learn it's secrets,

:03:44.:03:51.

experts are about to start the painstaking task of picking it

:03:52.:03:55.

We hoped to do the project in three years. We are using this laser to

:03:56.:04:17.

run over the entire surface and produce this very high quality 3`D

:04:18.:04:23.

model. Are you expecting to find things and they'll that we don't

:04:24.:04:28.

know about that period? I think it will give us a real snapshot of the

:04:29.:04:35.

time. This was buried in one night and we know the year, we will be

:04:36.:04:39.

able to tell what kind of plants, animals, the time of year it was

:04:40.:04:42.

buried. And those two metal detectorists

:04:43.:04:44.

have turned conservators, as Reg Mead and Richard Miles help with

:04:45.:04:46.

the work and guard their treasure. Do you know what it is going to be

:04:47.:04:58.

worse for you guys? We declared it to the Queen, the Queen negotiates

:04:59.:05:04.

with the States of Jersey who purchased it at a later date but at

:05:05.:05:09.

the moment, we don't know what it is worth. The ?10 million, that was

:05:10.:05:13.

hype on the day. The important thing is that it stays in Jersey. Is there

:05:14.:05:19.

more buried in Jersey? Should we all by it all detectors? No, what

:05:20.:05:26.

happened with us took 30 years of painstaking years `` work but a

:05:27.:05:33.

thing could be lying under the soils, it is a case of perseverance.

:05:34.:05:37.

Just before the weather forecast, spare a thought for these two

:05:38.:05:39.

They battled four seasons in a day today, as they continue

:05:40.:05:43.

a gruelling challenge of running seven marathons in seven days.

:05:44.:05:46.

The pair are doing it to raise money for two Guernsey charities.

:05:47.:05:48.

They said the showers haven't put them off.

:05:49.:05:55.

It doesn't bother us. When we have the weather warnings in January and

:05:56.:06:03.

February, we went out when the police were telling people to stay

:06:04.:06:08.

at home. Since then, we have been training in the heat. The weather

:06:09.:06:15.

doesn't faze us of top I will leave you with the weather forecast. It is

:06:16.:06:23.

not a bad start of the bank on a day weekend. Tomorrow brings some

:06:24.:06:26.

:06:37.:06:41.

:06:54.:07:02.

tomorrow. On Sunday, it will start bright, Howard will thicken through

:07:03.:07:05.

the day, not a bad picture for the Guernsey marathon. Rain hopefully

:07:06.:07:11.

will not arrive until the evening. Into the bank holiday Monday, low

:07:12.:07:18.

pressure is in charge so we may see heavy, blustery showers. A full UK

:07:19.:07:24.

forecast in a second. This is the summary for tomorrow.

:07:25.:07:31.

cloudier with outbreaks of rain on Bank Holiday Monday.

:07:32.:07:37.

Good evening. The weekend is upon us. For many, it is an extended
