People in Jersey will be protected from

A new law has come into force to stop islanders being

discriminated against because of their colour, nationality or origin.

It's the first step to bring the island's legislation

Guernsey doesn't currently have any plans for a similar law.

with people from all walks of life making a home here.

But because of where some people are from or how they look,

they've become a target for racial discrimination.

Now a new law has come into force today to stop this,

Much needed legislation according to a local charity

There have been a number of incidents where people have felt

they are being discriminated against, or being harassed, or may

even be victimised because of the colour of their skin or because of

their national origins. The four principle forms

of discrimination are direct discrimination,

indirect discrimination, Lawyers say businesses

need to be ready as there are some

potential pitfalls. In terms of recruitment processes,

what they advertise so far in terms of potential recruits is concerned,

but they have to be aware of what their own employees are doing. It is

quite possible under the law, for the employer to be held responsible

for any discriminatory acts being carried out by their employees.

The anti`discrimination law will also be applied to age, gender,

to help Jersey stamp out unjustified abuse.

Earlier the politician who helped draw it up this legislation

told me earlier how discrimination cases would be dealt with.

If the issue arises in the workplace, or to do with recruitment

into a job, those complaints would be referred in the first instance to

the Jersey advisory and conciliation services, who would attempt to

mediate or conciliate. If it is another type of service, eyeing

goods, `` buying goods, renting property, those complaints would be

referred to the Citizens Advice Bureau who in turn would enlist the

services of the community liaison services. If neither of those

processes work, the claim would be brought to the employment

discrimination tribunal. This will be broadened out to include other

elements. The law we have in place is an overarching law. We have

brought in the characteristic of race. Sexual gender discriminations

will be next, followed by possibly age cos of the increasing pension

age, and then disability. Disability is the most difficult to bring in

the course of the cost to businesses and employers `` because of.

A new hotel could be built in Jersey.

The Co`op's come up with revised ?12 million plans for its

Charing Cross supermarket site in St Helier

It's emerged the number of people on short term driving licences

in Guernsey because of medical conditions

has risen dramatically in the last few years.

In 2008 the Environment Department, which is responsible for them,

Now it processes around 5,000 a year.

But he's one of thousands that regularly has to

re`apply for his licence because of medical reasons.

I had a bypass operation in 2004, a single bypass, and since then they

issue me a licence every three years. I have to have a medical and

a treadmill. Otherwise I would not be able to drive the minibus. I can

see why it is necessary, but my point of view, I visited my doctor

regularly, and if there is something wrong with me, perhaps he would have

known. On average, Environment processes

around 200 applications each month Go back a few years, though, they

were only doing around 400 a year. So a lot more work for those having

to go through all that paperwork. And a big jump, that's largely down

to Guernsey's ageing population. The demographics of the island does

have some implications on medical policy here. Every individual case

is looked at on its own merits. Diabetes, heart conditions, older

drivers with tablets for BP, that kind of thing.

And it's expected the numbers will keep on rising.

But for people like Derek the medical's just one of those things

he has to do to keep doing the job he enjoys.

A World War Two shell has been blown up in Alderney

by the Guernsey Police bomb disposal squad.

The ten`centimetre shell was found in the road on Tourgis Hill.

The bomb squad moved the device to the coast and detonated it

I understand that this had been ploughed up in a field. It had been

handled, it was safe to be removed, it was moved to a safer place, we

did it on the beach, by way of a controlled explosion by putting on a

small amount of explosions to initiate the main charge. The item

was destroyed. I will leave you with the weather

forecast. Good evening. We have got a fair

amount of cloud, tomorrow is going to start fairly grey. Warm sunny

spells will appear. At the moment, a lot of that cloud up ahead. That

will stick with us throughout tonight. It could perhaps give us

some hill fog, as well as patchy rain and drizzle. As we head towards

dawn, 15 degrees. Starting tomorrow on that mild and murky note. A bit

of patchy dampness around as well. As the day wears on, sunshine could

break. Temperatures getting up to around 21, 20 2 degrees. The coming

days are going to be dominated by high`pressure, meaning we could see

variable amounts of clouds and poor visibility, but also someone

sunshine. We may see more clouds developing after. The full evening

forecast up in a second, I will leave you with this summary.

will also feel fairly warm, and the cloud will make a difference to the

temperature as Matt Taylor explains. Good evening. If you have left it

late for your summer break this year, the weather will probably be

kind to you. Most places will be dry and it will be fairly warm as well.

Most places will see temperatures in the high teens, but they could reach

the mid-20s. The problem is judging those cloud breaks from day-to-day.

The high pressure is settling things down, but
