:02:45. > :02:49.here. There are migrant workers all over Thailand and they are a big

:02:50. > :02:53.part of the workforce. One police chief told me he didn't believe a

:02:54. > :02:59.Thai national could have committed such a horrible crime. We will have

:03:00. > :03:04.to see whether this is the right line of enquiry. They no longer

:03:05. > :03:08.believe any of the group of foreign tourists that were with them in the

:03:09. > :03:12.days before they died or suspects. They don't have any eyewitnesses as

:03:19. > :03:23.they are having to piece together the last movements of these two

:03:24. > :03:28.young Britons. They have been on the island for three weeks. They also

:03:29. > :03:30.need to examine the body is properly. They have been taken to

:03:31. > :03:36.Bangkok for forensic analysis. 19 people have put themselves

:03:37. > :03:39.forward for the role of Senator They were formally nominated

:03:40. > :03:49.at a meeting There are eight seats available,

:03:50. > :03:54.voted for on an island`wide basis. Seven current Senators and three

:03:55. > :03:56.current Deputies are standing, and nine political newcomers, including

:03:57. > :03:58.the island's first Polish candidate. Islanders go to the polls to elect

:04:19. > :04:24.day for Jersey's Treasury Minister. Today's vote of no confidence

:04:25. > :04:26.centred on whether or not Senator Ozouf knew there would be

:04:27. > :04:46.a shortfall in next year?s budget. There is talk about deficits. There

:04:47. > :04:51.is inaccurate criticisms about forecast and I believe the track

:04:52. > :04:58.year `` track record of the Treasury in tackling up front the problems we

:04:59. > :04:59.have seen as a result of the financial crisis would have been far

:05:00. > :05:00.worse. But St Helier Deputy Geoff Southern

:05:01. > :05:03.from the party Reform Jersey says Bringing today's vote, he says

:05:04. > :05:07.the budget was not balanced fairly and Senator Ozouf panicked, moving

:05:08. > :05:20.money around to make ends meet. I am concerned about the way in

:05:21. > :05:27.which we have been treated and that information, I believe, has been not

:05:28. > :05:31.given to members to make proper decisions, particularly around the

:05:32. > :05:37.2014 budget. Also the way the adjustments have been made,

:05:38. > :05:38.scrambling around taking parts to pay for standard revenue, I believe

:05:39. > :05:42.is not the way to proceed. Whilst Senator Ozouf might have

:05:43. > :05:44.survived today's debate The corporate services scrutiny

:05:45. > :05:51.panel that scrutinised next year?s budget criticised it's financial

:05:54. > :05:58.forecast is needed before the start of the budget debate next

:05:59. > :06:01.Monday, but with less than a week I'll leave you with the weather,

:06:02. > :06:24.with David Braine. The dry weather is drawing to a

:06:25. > :06:31.close as we head through the rest of this week. There is the risk of some

:06:32. > :06:34.showers but we have a warm spell of weather still with us. There is

:06:35. > :06:39.still the risk of some showers turning up. Not many of those

:06:40. > :06:50.overnight tonight. We have some cloud in the end of the night but it

:06:51. > :06:53.should remain dry. For tomorrow, we will get some sunshine through the

:06:54. > :06:57.morning and into the afternoon but towards the end of the day, the

:06:58. > :07:08.cloud may threaten some showers overnight. It is going to be a very

:07:09. > :07:14.close and warm feeling day tomorrow. It is cooler along those east facing

:07:15. > :07:19.coasts. As we head towards the weekend, it is a shade cooler but it

:07:20. > :07:24.is also more unsettled. We are likely to see some showers develop.

:07:25. > :07:32.We have continued risk of showers into the weekend.

:07:59. > :08:08.This cloud looks worse than it is. Glitching the extreme south-west

:08:09. > :08:12.overnight. Ahead of it we've got an easterly air flow. That low cloud

:08:13. > :08:17.that never cleared the North Sea coasts is pushing through the gaps,

:08:18. > :08:21.running on to high ground. We'll have clearer skies further west but

:08:22. > :08:25.the low cloud is more extensive, leading to mist and fog over hills

:08:26. > :08:32.and coasts in the east, where we could have drizzle. Another warm ni
