More details on hands for Jdrsey's new hospital. We have to allow for a | :00:00. | :00:19. | |
flexible solution that can deal with whatever health developments take | :00:20. | :00:20. | |
place in the future. A childhood obesity crisis ? a third | :00:21. | :00:26. | |
of youngsters are overweight. Plus, remembering the war ddad | :00:27. | :00:28. | |
islanders pay their respects And I'll have the latest | :00:29. | :00:31. | |
weather forecast. Restaurants and hotels | :00:32. | :00:49. | |
will have to go to Ministers have officially lodged | :00:50. | :00:51. | |
proposals for a brand new ptrpose built hospital to be built behind | :00:52. | :00:56. | |
the current one to make it cheaper, quicker and less | :00:57. | :00:59. | |
disruptive to patients. Now the Health Minister has to get | :01:00. | :01:02. | |
the States to agree to it. Jersey's General Hospital | :01:03. | :01:05. | |
is here to stay, despite it being the chosen location | :01:06. | :01:10. | |
for the island's future one. That's because the new hosphtal | :01:11. | :01:14. | |
will be a separate building built around the back along | :01:15. | :01:17. | |
Newgate Street. It's significantly more | :01:18. | :01:23. | |
efficient and more affordable to build in a single phase, | :01:24. | :01:25. | |
shorter programme with a single interface to the existing hospital | :01:26. | :01:32. | |
that's very different There will therefore be less | :01:33. | :01:34. | |
disruption to patients They've managed to go ahead | :01:35. | :01:39. | |
with plans for this smaller, We were looking for 20,000 square | :01:40. | :01:43. | |
metres on the ground floor, that enabled us to have Outpatients, | :01:44. | :01:53. | |
Emergency and Imaging services all on the ground floor, | :01:54. | :01:55. | |
making it more accessible to people. With this new scheme we are looking | :01:56. | :01:58. | |
at a 10,000 square metre footprint and what the Patriotic Stredt car | :01:59. | :02:01. | |
park allows us to do is to come in at a number of different levels, | :02:02. | :02:05. | |
into Outpatients on those ldvels, which gets us over that problem | :02:06. | :02:08. | |
of having everything The plans also mean all | :02:09. | :02:10. | |
of this will have to go. I come here every afternoon to have | :02:11. | :02:23. | |
coffee with my family and friends. At the end of the day, we'll be | :02:24. | :02:27. | |
losing out on something that is good, but also we would be gaining a | :02:28. | :02:33. | |
lot more, a new hospital. Other changes include moving the | :02:34. | :02:37. | |
outpatients department to cross the Park, where hospital staff | :02:38. | :02:42. | |
accommodation is. And using the old hospital as an education centre for | :02:43. | :02:46. | |
future health workers. As only if this new 466 Medea pounds hospital | :02:47. | :02:50. | |
idea gets the go-ahead from the States at the end of next month | :02:51. | :02:54. | |
Earlier, I spoke to Jersey's Health Minister, | :02:55. | :02:56. | |
Senator Andrew Green, and asked him what he's going to do | :02:57. | :02:58. | |
about all those businesses that will now need to move. | :02:59. | :03:06. | |
That is probably the downside of this scheme. We know that two of the | :03:07. | :03:12. | |
biggest businesses are willhng sellers, and of course one or two | :03:13. | :03:19. | |
others, perhaps a little bit of a surprise for them. This will be a | :03:20. | :03:23. | |
matter of negotiation with them How can you ensure that people | :03:24. | :03:28. | |
continue to get good health care while the hospital is being built? | :03:29. | :03:32. | |
That is a good question, an important one. You will havd noted | :03:33. | :03:38. | |
that we won't have moved in patient services at all, and that's why it | :03:39. | :03:41. | |
is essential to get those fdw buildings on the side of patriotic | :03:42. | :03:44. | |
street, the businesses we t`lked about at the beginning, and that | :03:45. | :03:48. | |
allows us to build a new endrgy Centre while the old energy centre | :03:49. | :03:54. | |
runs current inpatient servhces The only services moving our | :03:55. | :03:57. | |
Administration and outpatients. I can safely say that we will be able | :03:58. | :04:01. | |
to maintain a safe, efficient and good service during the changeover. | :04:02. | :04:05. | |
Nearly a third of nine and ten-year-olds in Guernsdy | :04:06. | :04:07. | |
That's one of the key findings after the height and weight | :04:08. | :04:13. | |
of primary school pupils were measured to give a picture | :04:14. | :04:15. | |
If this is making you hungrx, new statistics may curb | :04:16. | :04:22. | |
Because figures out today for childhood obesity aren't good. | :04:23. | :04:30. | |
One in six five and six-year-olds are overweight or obese, | :04:31. | :04:33. | |
and one in three nine and ten-year-olds are. | :04:34. | :04:43. | |
Taunton who are overweight `re more likely to become overweight adults, | :04:44. | :04:50. | |
and that entails all the problems of diabetes, heart disease and the risk | :04:51. | :04:54. | |
of cancer. We want children to be the right weight as children so they | :04:55. | :04:57. | |
grow up to be a healthy weight as an adult. | :04:58. | :04:59. | |
Education is a key part of the plan to slim down the figures, | :05:00. | :05:02. | |
and the pupils at this school seem to know their stuff. | :05:03. | :05:07. | |
If you are not healthy, you might get diabetes and stuff like that. It | :05:08. | :05:21. | |
is good to eat lots of fruit and not loads of chocolate. Are you healthy? | :05:22. | :05:29. | |
Yes. How are you healthy evdryday? Ie Eat bread in the morning, and I | :05:30. | :05:38. | |
don't have crisps. I have bden watching this and telling mx parents | :05:39. | :05:43. | |
about this. It can make a htge difference because the mess`ges | :05:44. | :05:46. | |
coming to the children from ground level are and they can educ`te their | :05:47. | :05:50. | |
parents and the community. @s soon as you start educating the children, | :05:51. | :05:53. | |
it will seep out of the widdr world as well. | :05:54. | :05:54. | |
There may be no quick fix for the problem, | :05:55. | :05:56. | |
but any success in cutting the figures over the coming | :05:57. | :05:59. | |
the years will be a step in the right direction. | :06:00. | :06:02. | |
Less than six months after the general election, | :06:03. | :06:04. | |
voting is once again underw`y in the parish of | :06:05. | :06:06. | |
A by-election was called after the death of Deputy | :06:07. | :06:10. | |
Four candidates are standing for the vacant seat, | :06:11. | :06:14. | |
and Roisin Gauson is live at the polling station for ts now. | :06:15. | :06:17. | |
I think slowly but surely h`s been the order of the day, althotgh | :06:18. | :06:30. | |
things have picked up in thd last couple of hours. It is nowhdre near | :06:31. | :06:34. | |
the levels we saw for that general election six months ago. At that | :06:35. | :06:40. | |
point, we had the second highest turnout for the island here. We have | :06:41. | :06:45. | |
had the latest figures for today which came through just aftdr 6pm, | :06:46. | :06:50. | |
and that that pint just shy of 500 people had cast their vote, so | :06:51. | :06:54. | |
nowhere near the levels we saw six months ago. But for candidates are | :06:55. | :07:00. | |
hopeful of success here tonhght They are Gary Collins, Simon Bellamy | :07:01. | :07:05. | |
and Rick Lowe but they do h`ve big boots to fill because this | :07:06. | :07:11. | |
by-election comes after the sad passing of deputies Dave Jones. He | :07:12. | :07:15. | |
was one of the longest standing politicians of Guernsey. He had been | :07:16. | :07:19. | |
ill but believed he was getting better when he successfully stood in | :07:20. | :07:23. | |
April this year. Of those for candidates will taste that success | :07:24. | :07:27. | |
here tonight. Voting contintes until 8pm, and they are hopeful of a | :07:28. | :07:31. | |
fairly quick count tonight, so we could get a result by the l`te news | :07:32. | :07:34. | |
at 10:25pm. Jersey's finance industry added ?14 | :07:35. | :07:38. | |
billion to the UK economy l`st year, according to a report | :07:39. | :07:40. | |
by economic consultants. Representatives from the island | :07:41. | :07:43. | |
are in London trying to persuade UK politicians, | :07:44. | :07:45. | |
civil servants and think tanks of the value of Jersey to the UK | :07:46. | :07:47. | |
and the rest of Europe. The research estimates Jersdy's | :07:48. | :07:52. | |
finance industry generates ` quarter And it suggests the island pumps | :07:53. | :07:54. | |
?150 billion of foreign invdstment 100 years ago, a battle | :07:55. | :08:00. | |
was raging in which men Many people are familiar | :08:01. | :08:09. | |
with the Battle of the Sommd, but the Battle of Verdun | :08:10. | :08:13. | |
was the longest of World War One Today the French Ambassador | :08:14. | :08:16. | |
to the UK was in Guernsey s`y thank Verdun was the scene | :08:17. | :08:21. | |
of the longest battle 800,000 troops were killed, | :08:22. | :08:30. | |
wounded or missing in action. 100 years on, and the French | :08:31. | :08:37. | |
Ambassador to the UK lays a wreath The service was to remember around | :08:38. | :08:40. | |
240 Frenchmen living in Guernsey who served | :08:41. | :08:45. | |
on the Western Front. At least three fell | :08:46. | :08:47. | |
at the Battle of Verdun. A lot of the numbers have bden | :08:48. | :08:57. | |
forgotten about over the ye`rs. It has been very much overlookdd by the | :08:58. | :09:05. | |
occupation. Recent research, and the research is ongoing, but we now | :09:06. | :09:09. | |
believe that there are at ldast 257 channel islanders that fell for | :09:10. | :09:11. | |
France. And from the past to the prdsent, | :09:12. | :09:13. | |
and at Government House the Ambassador presented Fr`nce s | :09:14. | :09:15. | |
highest military award to vdterans This man landed on the Norm`ndy | :09:16. | :09:17. | |
beaches on D-Day. It is terrific. I am dazzled | :09:18. | :09:36. | |
actually. The ambassador saxs it has been a very special occasion. It is | :09:37. | :09:40. | |
always very moving, it is always an emotional ceremony. These pdople | :09:41. | :09:44. | |
fought to liberate our country. A day for these men | :09:45. | :09:46. | |
and their families to remember, and for all of us to remembdr those | :09:47. | :09:48. | |
that never returned home. Now David has the latest | :09:49. | :09:54. | |
weather forecast. I still think we will have some of | :09:55. | :10:11. | |
this troublesome cloud around. This was a picture from earlier today. | :10:12. | :10:17. | |
The cloud is just about thick enough to generate a view light showers, | :10:18. | :10:21. | |
and there are some around this evening, and there will be one or | :10:22. | :10:24. | |
two around tomorrow. Tomorrow will see a better chance of some | :10:25. | :10:28. | |
sunshine. Wright and mainly dry for the first half of the day, but they | :10:29. | :10:32. | |
could be some showers later on. The main weather story at the moment is | :10:33. | :10:37. | |
the battle between the area of low pressure over Scandinavia and the | :10:38. | :10:39. | |
high-pressure, which is across western Britain at the moment. That | :10:40. | :10:44. | |
won't change much over the next 24 hours, but eventually this `rea of | :10:45. | :10:48. | |
high pressure will start to move back towards Scandinavia. Bx Friday | :10:49. | :10:54. | |
it is beginning to weaken and move away, and by the time we get to | :10:55. | :10:58. | |
Saturday, a new area of low pressure is coming up from the south and will | :10:59. | :11:02. | |
squeeze up against that are` of high pressure, so freshening winds for us | :11:03. | :11:07. | |
from the south-east. That is a good direction to see a lot of dry | :11:08. | :11:11. | |
weather as well. There are some showers around this evening and they | :11:12. | :11:15. | |
will tend to fade away after midnight. Largely dry in thd small | :11:16. | :11:18. | |
hours of the morning, light winds, some missed forming first thing A | :11:19. | :11:26. | |
bit more in the way of sunshine during the morning, more cloud | :11:27. | :11:28. | |
coming through the afternoon, and just enough to generate the odd | :11:29. | :11:35. | |
light shower here and there. Eventually the wind will become | :11:36. | :11:36. | |
north-easterly. Quite promising certain conditions. | :11:37. | :11:44. | |
Dash-macro surfing. Some fine weather around on Friday. | :11:45. | :12:03. | |
Some nice conditions on Sattrday, then it becomes windy and more | :12:04. | :12:07. | |
cloudy on Sunday. Have a good evening. | :12:08. | :12:09. | |
I'll be back at 10:30pm with the late news, when we'll bring | :12:10. | :12:13. | |
you the results of Guernsey's by-election | :12:14. | :12:15. | |
The power of water has been used for centuries in industry. But times | :12:16. | :12:34. | |
have changed. Across mid Devon, and the south-west, many water lills, | :12:35. | :12:39. | |
such as this one are out of use But its owner, Brendan, wants to change | :12:40. | :12:44. | |
that. Here is the crux of the issue. This is the lowest the water level | :12:45. | :12:50. | |
will be this year after quite a long, dry spring and summer, but | :12:51. | :12:56. | |
we've now got water to have 24 hours electricity capability. It's in a | :12:57. | :13:03. | |
rural location and is very secure. This what he is proposing. Not just | :13:04. | :13:10. | |
on his property. This new wheel in Somerset has new technology attached | :13:11. | :13:14. | |
to it which creates hydroeldctric power, but | :13:15. | :13:15. |
