:00:00. > 3:59:59Thank you. And that is it from us for thhs
:00:00. > :00:10.evening. Is Jersey's school system tdaching
:00:11. > :00:13.young people the skills That was one question raised
:00:14. > :00:18.by business leaders last night, who were debating how many foreign
:00:19. > :00:22.workers should be allowed in to fill It comes as education bosses sign
:00:23. > :00:28.what they have labelled Dishing up dinner on a day that
:00:29. > :00:38.a new agreement between Jersey's largest teaching union
:00:39. > :00:41.and education bosses is dished out. It promises that both sides will
:00:42. > :00:44.work together to ensure all students ` like Katrina and Tyler here `
:00:45. > :01:02.have the best educational It is an agreement about how to take
:01:03. > :01:06.forward workforce and public service reform in a genuine partnership
:01:07. > :01:08.which means that the only ottcome can be the best for children and
:01:09. > :01:10.young people. This partnership is also
:01:11. > :01:13.designed to stop this. Scenes from 2010, when teaching
:01:14. > :01:27.unions marched through St Hdlier Is this the end of strike action or
:01:28. > :01:32.the threat of strike action? I hope so. Time will tell. We are still
:01:33. > :01:36.going to disagree, but this agreement will mean that we will
:01:37. > :01:46.have to sit down and talk it through, if we do disagree. All of
:01:47. > :01:58.this comes on the day when leading UK business people have been
:01:59. > :02:01.critical. The standard of state education is well below what it
:02:02. > :02:06.should be for an island of Jersey's incredible wealth. If education and
:02:07. > :02:10.training was improved, more local people would get the best jobs and
:02:11. > :02:15.Jersey would be less reliant on immigration. His words were quite
:02:16. > :02:19.strong, he said it was embarrassing? Indeed they wdre, but
:02:20. > :02:23.there are lots of great teachers, lots of great schools. Let's not
:02:24. > :02:27.criticise, let's talk about where we want to get to, and I think we have
:02:28. > :02:33.got agreement right across the community on that. People in the
:02:34. > :02:36.community today, signing thd agreement, say they are putting
:02:37. > :02:38.local children first, which they say will help them get the top jobs on
:02:39. > :02:43.the island in the years to come Guernsey has no tourism str`tegy `
:02:44. > :02:45.that's the damning verdict of the island's deputy treasury
:02:46. > :02:48.resources minister. He feels the tourism departlent s
:02:49. > :02:50.campaigns are not part of a dedicated strategy, and that
:02:51. > :03:03.there are still too many obstacles Do we don't we develop tourhst
:03:04. > :03:08.attractions, and in, new hotels Unless you are willing to consider
:03:09. > :03:12.these issues, then I do not think tourism will have more than a very
:03:13. > :03:14.limited capacity to contribtte to our economy.
:03:15. > :03:17.A development company has bden ordered to pay Jersey States' legal
:03:18. > :03:21.costs, after unsuccessfully trying to claim a ?100 million
:03:22. > :03:27.Harcourt built the Liberty Wharf shopping centre, and said it had an
:03:28. > :03:30.agreement to redevelop the Dsplanade car park into a finance centre.
:03:31. > :03:32.So when the work went elsewhere they took legal action.
:03:33. > :03:35.But an appeal court has dislissed the case, and ordered the company
:03:36. > :03:40.Meanwhile, there are new moves to redevelop an abandoned Victorian
:03:41. > :03:47.Previous failed attempts to transform Fort Tourgis have included
:03:48. > :03:50.flats, a luxury hotel, a casino and storage facility for pl`nes
:03:51. > :03:53.But now Alderney's Policy and Finance Committee say they are
:03:54. > :03:56.looking again at proposals for residential and mixed use,
:03:57. > :04:00.and that two developers havd expressed an interest.
:04:01. > :04:03.More than 1,000 Jersey schoolgirls are being taught how to look out
:04:04. > :04:08.It comes as a campaign begins to get women's health issues
:04:09. > :04:14.It is being spearheaded by Kris Hallenga, who set up the ch`rity

:04:29. > :04:39.Emma Chambers has had a whistlestop tour at what's been on show so far.
:04:40. > :04:43.What have you done? He said, I have turned myself into a herd of
:04:44. > :04:45.rhinoceros. Not something you would ordhnarily
:04:46. > :04:48.hear at a festival workshop, but A sound effects masterclass,

:05:11. > :05:13.and St Aubin's fort is the location for Sunday's fhnale,
:05:14. > :05:26.in what could be We have been doing this for many
:05:27. > :05:31.years, on many different buhldings, all around Europe, but this is the
:05:32. > :05:36.first time we have ever projected onto something so far`away, and also
:05:37. > :05:40.from so close up, at the sale time. So, it is the most difficult
:05:41. > :05:42.challenge we have ever had to do, probably that anyone has done, in
:05:43. > :05:43.terms of projection. And if they do pull it off,
:05:44. > :05:47.this is a sneak peak There's more arts, films,
:05:48. > :05:53.music and more going on all weekend ` and you can listen
:05:54. > :05:56.to the highlights on BBC Radio Branchage, on BBC Radio Jersey's

:06:00. > :06:04.BBC Radio Guernsey and BBC Radio Jersey, are live
:06:05. > :06:17.on air from six tomorrow morning. I think we will have some of the
:06:18. > :06:21.best of the weather over thd British Isles over the next couple of days.
:06:22. > :06:29.We may have quite a bit of cloud to start with, but after it brdaks up,
:06:30. > :06:34.we will get some sunshine. We have got an area of high pressurd,
:06:35. > :06:38.settled conditions. A coupld of fronts in there which will be
:06:39. > :06:41.trapped for a short while tomorrow morning, and this cloud will break
:06:42. > :06:52.up overnight tonight, allowhng some missed to form. A lot of cloud
:06:53. > :06:57.overnight tonight, remaining drive. Tomorrow, it is quite a gre`t
:06:58. > :07:01.start, but very slowly, it will improve, and the clearance will come
:07:02. > :07:11.from the south. It will feel warm in the sunshine. There is not ` great
:07:12. > :07:16.deal of change for Sunday. Sunday is fine and dry with some sunshine
:07:17. > :07:21.Perhaps a bit more cloud on Monday, and the small risk of a shower. But
:07:22. > :07:37.for the most part, warm and dry for the next four days.
:07:38. > :07:46.Good evening. Some very useable weather on offer this weekend in.
:07:47. > :07:49.Fact, most of September has been decent, and that's because our jet
:07:50. > :07:52.stream that drives our weather systems across the Atlantic has been
:07:53. > :07:58.driving them to the North West of the UK. So not much rain has made
:07:59. > :08:02.its way across our shores. By the same token, it's been quite warm,
:08:03. > :08:08.especially in the south. Little change to that pattern this weekend.
:08:09. > :08:10.Mainly dry with warm sunshine. We will pick up for fog than we've
:08:11. > :08:11.seen. That
