September will settle down with Sony spells and it will get warmer --

:00:00.:00:00.

sunny spells. A story with a happy ending.

:00:00.:00:10.

The indications are we would have the increase contributions.

:00:11.:00:28.

Smoking in outdoor eating areas could soon

And From Trinity to Nashville ` the local star of this year's Jersey

:00:31.:00:37.

Live music festival getting ready for the opportunity of a lifetime.

:00:38.:00:48.

It is more exciting than scary. I will focus on that part rather than

:00:49.:00:52.

being scared. Social Security contributions

:00:53.:01:01.

in Jersey urgently need to rise as pressure grows on the fund that

:01:02.:01:04.

helps pay for GP visits. That's according to the Minister

:01:05.:01:08.

responsible tonight. Senator Francis Le Gresley says

:01:09.:01:10.

the Health Insurance Fund, which subsidises the cost of prescriptions

:01:11.:01:14.

and doctors appointments, As we're getting older we're getting

:01:15.:01:17.

more prescriptions for our ailments. And the cost of dispensing

:01:18.:01:30.

them is becoming painful. As well as prescriptions,

:01:31.:01:35.

the Health Insurance Fund pays towards our GP visits `

:01:36.:01:37.

as just over ?20 per consultation. At the moment the fund looks healthy

:01:38.:01:42.

` with assets of 80 million ` but it's not set to last as costs rise

:01:43.:01:47.

in line with an aging population. The fund is currently paid for out

:01:48.:01:53.

of social security contributions, The Minister in charge says it's

:01:54.:01:56.

likely workers and businesses It is a fact that by 2022 we will

:01:57.:02:16.

only have in reserve is about 12 months expenditure me to take action

:02:17.:02:20.

before that to increase contributions so that position

:02:21.:02:22.

doesn't arise. And that increase might pay

:02:23.:02:25.

for health care, but are rising contributions

:02:26.:02:27.

an easy pill to swallow? Our wages aren't going up at all,

:02:28.:02:36.

not even with the cost of living. In the long run it'll be a good idea.

:02:37.:02:41.

If there is a shortfall in money and they needed, I think it is a good

:02:42.:02:47.

idea. Are they short of money or are they short of managing money? People

:02:48.:02:52.

will have to pay more for descriptions, so long`term, yes,

:02:53.:03:01.

short`term, not great. The funds look set to run dry and changes will

:03:02.:03:03.

have to be made by 2017. An investigation is continuing

:03:04.:03:07.

after a 37`year`old man's body was found at a Guernsey property

:03:08.:03:10.

yesterday afternoon. Guernsey Police were called to

:03:11.:03:12.

a Hauteville address in St Peter It's thought the body had been there

:03:13.:03:15.

for a few weeks, A post`mortem examination will take

:03:16.:03:20.

place tomorrow to determine Smoking

:03:21.:03:23.

in outdoor eating areas could soon A public consultation has just come

:03:24.:03:26.

to an end asking people what they think should be done to help shape

:03:27.:03:30.

the island's tobacco strategy One of the recommendations is to ban

:03:31.:03:33.

smoking in designated outside eating Eating and drinking outside

:03:34.:03:37.

are summer pleasures. But for non`smokers they can also

:03:38.:03:40.

present a few hazards as they try At this hotel, there's a beer garden

:03:41.:03:44.

and the staff are exposed to smoke when they serve food

:03:45.:03:53.

and drink to customers outside. You can see an ashtray here. The

:03:54.:04:09.

government is looking at cracking down on smoking outdoors.

:04:10.:04:17.

They're both waitresses here and they have different views

:04:18.:04:21.

on whether smoking should be banned in outdoor eating areas.

:04:22.:04:32.

If people want to have a cigarette with their beer, I think that it

:04:33.:04:42.

carry on. It is not nice when somebody is smoking around you. If

:04:43.:04:50.

some people are around as well, it is not nice. Also if their kids are

:04:51.:05:02.

there. It is not good health. It is now the case that people who don't

:05:03.:05:06.

smoke and who are out with children for the date feel it is difficult

:05:07.:05:12.

for them to sit outside, because of smoke drift. We want to find a way

:05:13.:05:15.

of working that will help us to resolve that.

:05:16.:05:16.

The health department will soon confirm its tobacco strategy

:05:17.:05:18.

and whether smoking in places like this will be stubbed out or not.

:05:19.:05:24.

Could better use of the Channel Islands World War Two

:05:25.:05:27.

bunkers help conserve them for future generations?

:05:28.:05:30.

Yesterday we asked whether more should be done with

:05:31.:05:33.

them, particularly to benefit industries like tourism.

:05:34.:05:36.

Penny Elderfield looks at some of the unique ways how they're

:05:37.:05:39.

Occasionally, particularly in Alderney,

:05:40.:05:46.

But more often than not the hundreds of bunkers around

:05:47.:05:52.

But there are examples of how they could be used.

:05:53.:05:59.

Like this underwater world, created in these underground tunnels

:06:00.:06:02.

We bring in the baby, the size of a 50p piece. We sell them. It is ideal

:06:03.:06:21.

because the temperature is between 8 degrees and 15 degrees, which is

:06:22.:06:27.

what the natural sea water is. I think they should be preserved, not

:06:28.:06:31.

for my children, not for my grandchildren, but for my

:06:32.:06:35.

great`grandchildren, because you go back to all these wars and all that,

:06:36.:06:38.

so why not preserve the occupation? Obviously, when they were built,

:06:39.:06:41.

bunkers had their purpose. And strong and sturdy,

:06:42.:06:43.

they're built to last. But they're also incredibly

:06:44.:06:45.

soundproof, which You don't have to worry about

:06:46.:07:01.

soundproofing. There were things after the war when they wanted to

:07:02.:07:06.

shut them off and forget about it. Now we are much more interested in

:07:07.:07:11.

it. People are doing fantastic jobs in keeping them going. It is always

:07:12.:07:15.

a struggle to find space for anything on a small island. If it

:07:16.:07:17.

works were you, that is great. There uses may be limited,

:07:18.:07:19.

but it seems generally it's felt it's better if they are if we want

:07:20.:07:23.

this part of our history to last. Music fans will be flocking to

:07:24.:07:32.

Trinity for this year's Jersey Live, It's the festival's 11th year `

:07:33.:07:35.

and international, chart`topping stars such as Ellie Goulding,

:07:36.:07:40.

Ben Howard and dance troupe But what room does that leave for

:07:41.:07:43.

local artists who really need the experience and exposure of playing

:07:44.:07:47.

on the island's biggest stage? She's the only local singer playing

:07:48.:07:51.

the Main Stage, and even rehearsing to an empty field,

:07:52.:08:05.

Frankie Davies knows the importance I think it is important for local

:08:06.:08:19.

acts to perform at something like this. It is huge. They have put it

:08:20.:08:25.

on the map and it is a great experience, especially the most

:08:26.:08:29.

important thing is to watch people come and watch how other people do

:08:30.:08:34.

it, and take what they're doing put it in your performance.

:08:35.:08:36.

Very few Jersey artists are performing at this year's festival,

:08:37.:08:38.

in contrast to whole stages dedicated to local talent

:08:39.:08:40.

As with weekend tickets costing almost ?100, organisers find they

:08:41.:08:44.

need the big names to get the crowds through the gates.

:08:45.:08:53.

We will concentrate in 2015 and having local talent, but this year

:08:54.:09:01.

one of the stages was draft. We will just change it each year. There is

:09:02.:09:06.

no real reason but we put the best of our local artist on the main

:09:07.:09:10.

stages share. The headliners are always important, they sell a lot of

:09:11.:09:12.

tickets. Meanwhile, this could be the last

:09:13.:09:13.

time Frankie graces her home stage, as she's off to Nashville to try

:09:14.:09:17.

and crack the hugely lucrative Is I got invited by the BBC to play

:09:18.:09:35.

at the Americana Festival, so they do showcases, shows, it is a combo

:09:36.:09:46.

be different type Festival to this. `` competently different Festival.

:09:47.:09:51.

With Frankie's star on the rise across the pond,

:09:52.:09:53.

the challenge for stars of the future is to convince festival

:09:54.:09:56.

bosses to give them their big break on the big stage back home.

:09:57.:10:03.

What will the weather be like if you're going to the festival. What

:10:04.:10:20.

can we expect? It won't be too bad. We have the carnival tonight at the

:10:21.:10:26.

harbour. It should stay dry. Into tomorrow, after a cloudy start with

:10:27.:10:31.

rain, it should become brighter with sunny periods are developing in the

:10:32.:10:41.

afternoon. So for Jersey live, nose of the cloud should have cleared and

:10:42.:10:47.

then it is generally dry `` most of the cloud. We have fared better

:10:48.:10:55.

today, but the front making its way as we go overnight. This weather

:10:56.:11:05.

frontier. Indie Saturday, that front clears `` into Saturday. We will

:11:06.:11:10.

have a bright day with lighter winds. Taking a look at today, you

:11:11.:11:15.

can see is cloud push an end. Still some brightness, but that cloud will

:11:16.:11:20.

thicken as we go overnight, eventually into the small hours we

:11:21.:11:24.

will see some showers arriving. With the cloud overnight, our

:11:25.:11:28.

temperatures should hold up, not falling below 14 degrees. At first

:11:29.:11:34.

Samarra, still some showers. We see that front coming through. `` at

:11:35.:11:42.

first tomorrow. Hide it, we will start to see those guys clearing and

:11:43.:11:46.

our temperatures tomorrow reaching into the high teens.

:11:47.:11:53.

Generally we have good visibility, although moderate where we see that

:11:54.:12:01.

rain first thing. These are the high tides.

:12:02.:12:08.

In League Two, Plymouth Argyle tried to get their second win at home,

:12:09.:14:20.

Phil Brown's Southend will provide a stern test.

:14:21.:14:23.

Still without a win, Exeter City want to win their match.

:14:24.:14:26.

Torquay United go for their first away win

:14:27.:14:29.

Helen Glover harbours hopes of retaining her World Championship

:14:30.:14:38.

title tomorrow lunchtime in Amsterdam.

:14:39.:14:41.

Glover has been reunited with her Olympic gold medal partner

:14:42.:14:44.

The duo easily won their qualifying heat.

:14:45.:14:50.

It will be a major shock if they don't win the final.

:14:51.:14:53.

This little handsome thing isn't really mine, I don't mind holding

:14:54.:14:56.

it, but let us pass it to the rightful man and that is the

:14:57.:15:00.

What does it mean to the players and the club?

:15:01.:15:09.

It is something we have been working towards all season.

:15:10.:15:20.

We have played good cricket through the year.

:15:21.:15:23.

Quite a tough pill to take if we had not won it, it was a close game.

:15:24.:15:32.

Scott Barlow, fantastic, four wickets.

:15:33.:15:36.

It changed the balance of the game.

:15:37.:15:50.

The winners' name hasn't been put on the trophy, who does that?

:15:51.:15:52.

The trophy has had a couple busy days.

:15:53.:15:57.

I'm sure that will be sorted out soon.

:15:58.:15:59.

Well, well`deserved, many congratulations.

:16:00.:16:05.

All the sports news can be heard on local radio.

:16:06.:16:09.

That is all from me in the studio. Now with more on the tall ships,

:16:10.:16:22.

it's back to Natalie. Thank you. I am on`board the biggest

:16:23.:16:30.

ship here. It is from Poland and is called... It means gift of youth. It

:16:31.:16:38.

has got the largest crew, which should mean it will stand a good

:16:39.:16:42.

chance when all of the ships starts to race to Greenwich. It will be

:16:43.:16:48.

marvellous. It will be difficult to see them, though. I will give you

:16:49.:16:54.

more details later. The ships are spectacular. But there is more going

:16:55.:17:00.

on than looking at ships. Although the tall ships are the main

:17:01.:17:08.

attraction, there is plenty to do. There are pirates and some or

:17:09.:17:13.

omission. You cannot have on our monks pirates. `` honour amongst. He

:17:14.:17:23.

said he would give us half, he hasn't. We have come to get it back.

:17:24.:17:36.

Then the battle begins. With a few shots from the tall ship, and then

:17:37.:17:47.

the Spanish arrived. It was quite impressive how they came from over

:17:48.:17:52.

the mountain. They just climbed over. I like how they were shouting.

:17:53.:18:09.

Very pirates alike. On the beaches, they are battling it out as crews

:18:10.:18:15.

from the ships display their muscle power. This team from China, the

:18:16.:18:19.

first crew to take part in the regatta. The whole experience, we've

:18:20.:18:28.

had a lot of fun. And the weather is had a lot of fun. And the weather is

:18:29.:18:35.

holding up. A good day. In between the battles, there is plenty to eat

:18:36.:18:40.

and drink. Even the town's car parks have been turned into restaurants.

:18:41.:18:51.

There is music on every street corner. See shanties, of course. I

:18:52.:18:59.

used to play the recorder at school, but playing the bagpipes is a bit

:19:00.:19:06.

more hard work. How am I doing? A few more years. All lifetimes,

:19:07.:19:20.

perhaps. `` all. Medieval music probably best left to the

:19:21.:19:24.

professionals. The entertainment continues into the weekend and

:19:25.:19:35.

should keep all pirates happy. I have some lovely guest here with me

:19:36.:19:44.

now. Tell me your part in all of this? I am the chief operating

:19:45.:19:50.

officer. We run the event overall, both here and in Greenwich when the

:19:51.:19:58.

ships arrive there. The boat were on is called Gift Of Youth and that is

:19:59.:20:05.

apt, isn't it? 50% of the crews will be the aged between 15 and 25. On

:20:06.:20:12.

the ship, there are nearly 200 people, but only 30 are actually

:20:13.:20:17.

professional crew, the rest are trainees. How difficult is it to

:20:18.:20:23.

organise this? We have been doing it for a long time. It has been going

:20:24.:20:31.

on sometime. We have a proven model. It is great to be back. So why does

:20:32.:20:37.

the event keep coming back? This is the fifth time, isn't it? I think

:20:38.:20:45.

this is a port we have been most two in the UK. It has great people. The

:20:46.:20:49.

Cornish people are always great to work with. And they help young

:20:50.:20:56.

people to go on board and train. Which leaves us onto the two girls

:20:57.:21:04.

we have here. You too will be sailing on Sunday, aren't you? How

:21:05.:21:10.

do you feel? It is an amazing opportunity. Once`in`a`lifetime. I

:21:11.:21:15.

am a bit nervous, it is our first time on a big boat, we only sale

:21:16.:21:22.

little ones normally. We go sailing once a week during the summer. What

:21:23.:21:29.

will you be racing to Greenwich on? We will be racing on a yacht, 17.5

:21:30.:21:37.

metre one from Belgium. It not the one you were originally on. No,

:21:38.:21:41.

originally we were to be on a massive tall ship. But

:21:42.:21:46.

unfortunately, due to propeller problems, it is not taking part in

:21:47.:21:52.

the festival. So you will be on a swanky yacht? Yes, it takes 15

:21:53.:22:03.

people and it is great. Yes, we all get hands`on experience as there

:22:04.:22:07.

will be less people. Where do you go when you leave Falmouth? First, we

:22:08.:22:17.

go up to... Help her out. Isle Of Wight and then we are right crews

:22:18.:22:25.

sort of thing up to Greenwich. That is where we dock in Canary Wharf.

:22:26.:22:36.

Fantastic. We will get back into Greenwich on the next Saturday. Good

:22:37.:22:41.

luck, girls. They will be all right, won't they? They will have a great

:22:42.:22:45.

time. They are very accomplished already. It is such an experience

:22:46.:22:52.

for the youngsters. Especially for people who love sailing already. On

:22:53.:22:57.

the yacht, it is a lovely boat, a great captain, but they will get

:22:58.:23:02.

real hands`on experience, maybe more than they would on their original

:23:03.:23:06.

choice of vessel. Good luck, bon voyage. We want good weather. Dan,

:23:07.:23:11.

will it be lovely on Sunday? It is an improving picture through

:23:12.:23:21.

the weekend. We will see the winds for a bit lighter, mostly dry with

:23:22.:23:26.

some sunshine. We will also start to feel warmer. Let's have a look at

:23:27.:23:30.

the big picture. You can see the amount of cloud we have had. Channel

:23:31.:23:36.

Islands is faring much better. Thanks to the area of low pressure,

:23:37.:23:41.

we are still seeing weather fronts getting drawn in. Overnight, a cold

:23:42.:23:45.

front comes in and brings further outbreaks of light rain. It is clear

:23:46.:23:51.

by tomorrow, so mostly dry day. We should see winds falling. Into

:23:52.:23:56.

Sunday, high pressure starts pushing in and keeps things settled. More in

:23:57.:24:04.

the way of sunshine. You will notice that some pressure is coming in. It

:24:05.:24:07.

is drawing in weather fronts on Sunday and for most of Monday. It

:24:08.:24:14.

will turn things cloudy again. Taking a look at today, you can see

:24:15.:24:18.

showers coming through, quite a lot of cloud around. Generally, a rather

:24:19.:24:25.

grey day. As we get into tonight, it stays quite dull, some mist and fog

:24:26.:24:29.

falling over the moors. Further showers overnight and you can see

:24:30.:24:33.

different travelling through. It should clear most of us by first

:24:34.:24:36.

thing tomorrow morning. A fairly cloudy night with a rain and

:24:37.:24:41.

temperatures will hold up for most of us. They won't fall much below 30

:24:42.:24:47.

Celsius. Into tomorrow, if you are off burly enough you may catch the

:24:48.:24:54.

end of that front. `` 13 Celsius. Increasingly, there will be

:24:55.:24:58.

brightness, some sunshine will break through, winds will ease back a

:24:59.:25:02.

little as well. Temperatures should reach around 18 or 19 Celsius.

:25:03.:25:07.

Further inland, it should feel warmer than it has, a bit of a

:25:08.:25:11.

breeze around the coast, but it will be lighter. For the hours `` for the

:25:12.:25:16.

Isles of Scilly, a dry and fine day for most. High water at 8:04am. If

:25:17.:25:26.

you are heading down to foul mouth, high water there at 804 `` 8:40am.

:25:27.:25:34.

Serve wise, less than we have seen today, but you will see, winds

:25:35.:25:43.

coming from a westerly direction, turning a bit choppy or bit messy.

:25:44.:25:50.

The coastal waters forecast next. Winds, force four to six. Generally,

:25:51.:25:59.

good visibility, and mainly fairweather wants the showers have

:26:00.:26:05.

gone overnight. Then our outlook. Tomorrow is an improving picture, as

:26:06.:26:11.

I say, some cloud, winds falling later into Sunday and it is

:26:12.:26:15.

generally a dry inbred day, some good sunny spells to be enjoyed. ``

:26:16.:26:24.

a dry day. Cloudy for a time. Maybe cloudy at first. It should improve.

:26:25.:26:28.

Into the middle of next week, temperatures will pick up into the

:26:29.:26:33.

mid`20s. The output is not `` outlook is not too bad. Back to you,

:26:34.:26:38.

Natalie. That doesn't sound too bad. If you want to know, the parade of

:26:39.:26:44.

sale starts at 11, the race is at 4pm. That will be four miles out to

:26:45.:26:51.

sea, so you will need binoculars, but we will be filming at all, so

:26:52.:26:55.

keep in touch with our bulletins throughout the weekend and on

:26:56.:27:00.

Monday. That is all from us here, I will now leave you with some sea

:27:01.:27:05.

shanty singers who set the mood perfectly. From everyone here, good

:27:06.:27:06.

night. Memories of an era.

:27:07.:27:33.

# Remind us of the way of life from long, ago.

:27:34.:27:44.

# There are clippers # From around the world # A splendid array # When
