Good evening. culture and everyone's street.

:00:10.:00:09.

Two Jersey brothers who were being questioned by police over

:00:10.:00:12.

the murder of Islander David Miller and British woman Hannah Witheridge

:00:13.:00:16.

in Thailand have been allowed to leave the country.

:00:17.:00:18.

Thai Police say they've found no forensic evidence linking Chris

:00:19.:00:20.

But there's now growing fears over the progress

:00:21.:00:24.

Chris and James Ware are now free to leave Thailand.

:00:25.:00:32.

They had been asked to stay in the country until police had

:00:33.:00:35.

Those tests haven't linked them or any of the 11 Burmese men also

:00:36.:00:41.

They did reveal that there was semen from two unidentified men in

:00:42.:00:47.

She was found along with David Miller from Jersey on the

:00:48.:00:52.

The Ware brothers, who had been

:00:53.:00:59.

on holiday with David, are expected to be heading home to Jersey.

:01:00.:01:02.

But there is growing concern about the investigation. A Former

:01:03.:01:11.

Will be police are admitting is that the lead that they have been

:01:12.:01:16.

enthusiastic about is that they have gone nowhere, perhaps there were

:01:17.:01:20.

pressuring them to the exclusion of other angles.

:01:21.:01:24.

The scene should have been secured, thoroughly searched, and then

:01:25.:01:37.

evidence retains could be matched with suspects. That is the important

:01:38.:01:40.

first feature they should be looking at. If they have preserved at the

:01:41.:01:45.

scene or secured the evidence, they are at a disadvantage.

:01:46.:01:46.

And that won't be much comfort

:01:47.:01:48.

Earlier Hannah's family arrived in Bangkok to meet with Thai police

:01:49.:01:52.

Their bodies have been released for repatriation.

:01:53.:01:58.

The family are deeply distressed at this time and my role is to support

:01:59.:02:07.

them at this very difficult time. four days since David and Hannah

:02:08.:02:09.

were killed. And the 'strong evidence'

:02:10.:02:12.

the police first cited hasn't yet led to the identification

:02:13.:02:14.

of any prime suspects. One third of Jersey's politicians

:02:15.:02:22.

have been elected unopposed a month ahead of the island's first

:02:23.:02:24.

General Election. Six deputies and eleven out

:02:25.:02:27.

of the twelve parish constables faced no challenge at last night's

:02:28.:02:29.

nomination meetings. Meet B`17 Jersey politicians who

:02:30.:02:42.

have been elected to the island states without anyone casting a

:02:43.:02:51.

vote. `` meet the 17. 11 constables were returned unopposed, only in

:02:52.:02:54.

Saint Mary, the smallest parachute, will there be a contest of `` the

:02:55.:03:05.

smallest parish. I don't feel I have any less of a mandate than someone

:03:06.:03:10.

who has taken on an election. The parishioners turned out in good

:03:11.:03:15.

numbers last night, if nobody wanted to stand against me, there is

:03:16.:03:21.

nothing I can do about it. Pfizer is sitting deputies would have to face

:03:22.:03:28.

the electorate. `` Pfizer sitting deputies. `` five. It is ironic that

:03:29.:03:43.

since then, I have to face an uncontested election, it is mixed

:03:44.:03:50.

feeding. There is one new deputy, Terry McDonald, his bid to break a

:03:51.:03:55.

world record fireworks attempt was pulled by authorities at the last

:03:56.:04:00.

minute, he says it left him out of pocket and living in a caravan. Now

:04:01.:04:05.

he represents a district of the Nowell stood against him. The

:04:06.:04:09.

reality is that politics is all about people and how they are

:04:10.:04:19.

affected. I have a small voter, that means I can still carry on

:04:20.:04:28.

doorknocking. `` nobody stood against him. Is this a sign of voter

:04:29.:04:34.

confidence of voter apathy? St Helier Constable Simon Crowcroft

:04:35.:04:37.

was one of those elected unopposed. He says voters should still turn out

:04:38.:04:39.

and have their say A referendum on whether constables

:04:40.:04:42.

should sit in the states at all is also being held on election day,

:04:43.:04:46.

0ctober 15. I think the referendum question is

:04:47.:04:57.

still important, I hope that even if people haven't a contested election,

:04:58.:05:02.

there will still be a referendum. It is important to get the message

:05:03.:05:05.

across in the run`up, that the current system in Jersey is

:05:06.:05:12.

confusing. You do need a system which is simple and easy to

:05:13.:05:15.

understand, fundamentally, you need a system which has a quality of

:05:16.:05:24.

votes. But we have that, the reform proposals will not cease.

:05:25.:05:26.

And you'll find a full list of candidates online

:05:27.:05:28.

Flybe's announced it's temporarily stopping it's weekday flights

:05:29.:05:31.

For the first three weeks of October it'll only run two flights a day

:05:32.:05:37.

After that it'll re`introduce a limited one flight

:05:38.:05:40.

The airline says it's not making enough money

:05:41.:05:44.

Finally, the Boat House in Saint Aubin will re`open tomorrow.

:05:45.:05:48.

The bar and restaurant closed last Friday night after a fire damaged

:05:49.:05:51.

Only drinks will be served until next Tuesday,

:05:52.:05:54.

That is the news from us, I am back here at 6:30pm, he is the weather.

:05:55.:06:15.

Humid is a good way to describe the weather, either because we will see

:06:16.:06:20.

mist and low cloud or because you will see some showers. We will have

:06:21.:06:24.

both of those over tonight and tomorrow. Tomorrow is warm, the risk

:06:25.:06:30.

of showers continues. Although showers fading away for a time. Same

:06:31.:06:37.

area of low pressure growing warmth towards us coming up from Spain and

:06:38.:06:43.

Portugal. I chance of showers as well. Some that we have seen from

:06:44.:06:48.

earlier will fade away, but more will arrive in the small hours of

:06:49.:06:52.

the morning. One or two could be heavy with a risk of Thunder.

:06:53.:06:58.

Temperatures dipping to 17 Celsius. Tomorrow, some sunshine at times but

:06:59.:07:03.

also showers, one or two could turn out to be quite heavy. Temperatures

:07:04.:07:09.

up to 25 Celsius. The outlook as you move into the weekend is turning

:07:10.:07:17.

cooler, but also drier. Showers into Saturday, but largely dry in the

:07:18.:07:22.

day, cooler on Sunday with more of a north`easterly breeze. A top

:07:23.:07:25.

temperature of 19 or 20 Celsius. From the scene here, good night and

:07:26.:07:29.

goodbye. 21 degrees. Possibly a better day by

:07:30.:07:30.

Sunday. Hello, you know when you get

:07:31.:07:41.

temperatures in the mid-20s at this time of year that we are on borrowed

:07:42.:07:46.

time. By the weekend, we will not be getting 26 Celsius like today. But

:07:47.:07:54.

by the weekend, we're not going to have the low cloud we have had in

:07:55.:07:57.

Edinburgh throughout the week holding the temperature down, so

:07:58.:08:01.

there are some changes on the way. Right now, the warm muggy air has

:08:02.:08:05.

been triggering thunderstorms across the south of the UK. Bristol and

:08:06.:08:11.

Cardiff, and other areas heading towards the south coast. Southern

:08:12.:08:16.

England, the Midlands and Wales as the night goes on, some torrential

:08:17.:08:21.

thundery downpours. May keep some of us awake. For Northern Ireland,

:08:22.:08:25.

northern England and Scotland, mainly dry, but missed and low

:08:26.:08:29.

cloud, hill fog becoming extensive again. It is muggy. This is the

:08:30.:08:37.

morning, difficult to pinpoint exactly where the downpours are

:08:38.:08:40.

going to be, but we have to
