:00:00. > :00:12.That's all from us. A new initiative's been launched to

:00:13. > :00:15.help turn around the lives of young people in Guernsey,

:00:16. > :00:18.who risk ending up unemployed. The Prince's Trust,

:00:19. > :00:21.which was set up by Prince Charles, will be running programmes

:00:22. > :00:24.in three of the Islands schools. A grant of more than ?120,000 means

:00:25. > :00:48.it can do so for the next two years. Whether it be encouragement or

:00:49. > :00:56.support the Mac has helped young people then Jersey for more than a

:00:57. > :01:13.decade. `` The Prince's Trust has helped. That help has been extended

:01:14. > :01:29.to Guernsey. The one person you must speak to is her. It is about the

:01:30. > :01:32.journey. I was unemployed. The programmes that The Prince's Trust

:01:33. > :01:40.runs helps you to get up in the morning. It gives you the confidence

:01:41. > :01:48.and self`esteem to get out and see people do things.

:01:49. > :01:57.Initially running in three schools it will help 25 pupils. There is a

:01:58. > :02:07.quarter of people in that category who need support. Probably 200

:02:08. > :02:11.people who are unemployed. This is not about getting volumes through.

:02:12. > :02:21.This is about getting the right people. This is about changing

:02:22. > :02:25.people's waves. It all starts here with the hope it will end with the

:02:26. > :02:32.same success the charity has had elsewhere.

:02:33. > :02:35.A campaign group has been formed in Jersey to lobby for constables

:02:36. > :02:39.There will be a referendum in October and the group wants to

:02:40. > :02:42.persuade voters to vote yes to constables ` who sit as the head of

:02:43. > :02:46.each of the island's 12 parishes ` holding on to their automatic seats.

:02:47. > :02:48.The Channel Islands chief ministers are going to the World Equestrian

:02:49. > :02:52.Senator Ian Gorst and Deputy Jonathan Le Tocq, have been invited

:02:53. > :02:55.to the four`yearly sporting event and to a reception of business

:02:56. > :03:00.Last week Sark's Carl Hester helped Great Britain to a team silver

:03:01. > :03:09.More needs to be done to encourage the use of electric cars

:03:10. > :03:11.in the Channel Islands, that's the view of government ministers.

:03:12. > :03:15.There are just 12 electric cars registered in Guernsey and 75

:03:16. > :03:20.in Jersey, meanwhile in the UK sales of electric car sales are booming.

:03:21. > :03:24.So far this year sales are up 138% on the previous year.

:03:25. > :03:27.With short journeys the islands seem ideally placed to take

:03:28. > :03:30.on the green revolution ` so what's being done to encourage their use.

:03:31. > :03:42.Jen Smith and Chris Harrison have this special report.

:03:43. > :03:58.Quieter and better for the environment. Electric vehicles have

:03:59. > :04:09.their advantages. Petrol and diesel vehicles emit CO2. There are 12

:04:10. > :04:14.privately owned electric vehicles in Guernsey. The Government wants to

:04:15. > :04:18.change that. It will introduce a subsidy for newly registered

:04:19. > :04:31.vehicles. It wants public charging points. But our drivers convinced?

:04:32. > :04:36.If it is cheaper to run I would. My concern is where we would have the

:04:37. > :04:46.points to power them. That is one of the big worries. Deputy Kevin

:04:47. > :04:59.Stewart has his own ideas. Let us have giving bees for people who have

:05:00. > :05:10.electric or hybrid vehicles. `` let us have Green bays. This person sold

:05:11. > :05:13.six electric vehicles last year. And the Government are leading the

:05:14. > :05:23.way they are. They have purchased ten electric vehicles. We shared

:05:24. > :05:33.these vehicles with planning and environment. We like to be

:05:34. > :05:37.eco`friendly. That is good news for Jersey electricity. They have

:05:38. > :05:46.provided charging points in car parks, but they are not well used.

:05:47. > :05:50.Subsidies are needed to kick`start electric vehicles. Once we get

:05:51. > :05:59.enough vehicles on the roads we will have a second`hand market, prices

:06:00. > :06:02.will be more. Electric vehicles are more expensive to buy and remain a

:06:03. > :06:11.novelty in the Channel islands, but things are beginning to change, if a

:06:12. > :06:20.little slowly. Here is the weather. It may well

:06:21. > :06:27.turn cooler this weekend. But the summer weather will last into next

:06:28. > :06:36.week. Tomorrow will be cloudy at times, but with sunny spells.

:06:37. > :06:44.Overnight the same sort of problem as the last few nights. Cloudy, with

:06:45. > :07:00.night`time temperatures down to 15 degrees.

:07:01. > :07:05.Tomorrow most of the day is dry. Northerly winds will feature as we

:07:06. > :07:14.head into the weekend. Northwesterly on Saturday, North easterly on

:07:15. > :07:23.Sunday. Generally a lot of cloud around. Sunday into Monday he

:07:24. > :07:29.pressure comes back. Quite a bit cooler during the night time. Here

:07:30. > :07:34.is the summary for tomorrow. temperatures continue to be above

:07:35. > :07:42.average. Now the national outlook.

:07:43. > :07:49.Good evening. Still a hint of summer in the air, temperatures up to 23 or

:07:50. > :07:52.24 for today. Tomorrow, another dry day for many and skies will probably

:07:53. > :07:55.look like this picture behind me. I will show you what the satellite

:07:56. > :07:56.picture looked like today. The reason
