:00:00. > :00:00.Welcome to BBC Channel Islands. These are Friday's headlines:
:00:00. > :00:12.Guernsey's population is growing, but not in the right directhon.
:00:13. > :00:14.Bedding in for business - an industry once worth
:00:15. > :00:24.multi-millions struggles to stay afloat.
:00:25. > :00:30.Dawah ourselves and at least two other people in the market here
:00:31. > :00:32.They have now stopped trainhng and it is only as left on the island. #
:00:33. > :00:34.there were. California dreaming -
:00:35. > :00:42.Jersey's cricketers get ready And with Halloween weekend fast
:00:43. > :00:46.approaching, I will be letthng you know whether it will be dry if
:00:47. > :00:47.you're out trick-or-treating. The full forecast later in the
:00:48. > :00:51.programme. Guernsey's working
:00:52. > :00:56.population has fallen. The latest figures from the States
:00:57. > :00:58.show that there's been a drop in the number of people
:00:59. > :01:02.aged between 16 and 64. It comes at a time when the number
:01:03. > :01:05.of pensioners is increasing. Mike Wilkins reports
:01:06. > :01:12.on the demographic time bomb. At the end of last year,
:01:13. > :01:14.Guernsey's population was 62,50 , It is the largest
:01:15. > :01:19.increase in five years. But it is not necessarily in the age
:01:20. > :01:23.group that the Government is hoping. The number of pensioners
:01:24. > :01:25.is increasing, but critically, the working age
:01:26. > :01:28.population has fallen. It may sometimes feel like there's
:01:29. > :01:31.a lot of people pounding the pavements in town,
:01:32. > :01:34.but last year, the working `ge group And when you look back further,
:01:35. > :01:41.almost 2000 people have been lost from this group over
:01:42. > :01:43.the last five years. That's a lot of people who could be
:01:44. > :01:48.paying income tax. So why is the working
:01:49. > :01:51.population declining? Some feel there isn't enough
:01:52. > :01:53.diversity in the economy for younger workers, while others feel
:01:54. > :01:55.the island's restrictive This woman is responsible
:01:56. > :02:02.for Employment and Social Sdcurity. She says it's unclear
:02:03. > :02:04.if the population management regime will help when it comes
:02:05. > :02:18.into force in April. I'm sort of getting mixed mdssages,
:02:19. > :02:23.because I hear some negativhty about some of the population. I think
:02:24. > :02:28.because we are not there yet and it will not come into force until next
:02:29. > :02:31.April, people are starting to have some concerns about certain elements
:02:32. > :02:37.of that policy. I think it hs one of those things that until we `ctually
:02:38. > :02:38.enter the policy, it will bd work in progress.
:02:39. > :02:41.It's long been forecast that Guernsey would have an ageing
:02:42. > :02:42.population, but now, what were future forecasts
:02:43. > :02:47.are playing out as problems in the present.
:02:48. > :02:52.Jersey's mail order plant industry has shrunk by almost two thhrds
:02:53. > :02:54.A recent farming statistic report showed revenue fell from ovdr
:02:55. > :03:00.?23 million in 2012 to just over ?8 million last year.
:03:01. > :03:03.It is the lasting effect of the loss of low value consignment relief
:03:04. > :03:06.There is now only one business still trading,
:03:07. > :03:14.Only a few years ago, businesses like this one in Jersey
:03:15. > :03:17.were generating tens of millions of pounds.
:03:18. > :03:24.But now that value has fallen by 70%.
:03:25. > :03:31.That is pretty much entirelx down to the loss of low value consignment
:03:32. > :03:34.relief. There were ourselves and at least two other people in the market
:03:35. > :03:38.here, they have now stopped trading here, they have now stopped trading
:03:39. > :03:43.and it is only us left. We had to cut costs and Ledson people go. I
:03:44. > :03:48.just our prices, obviously when you just our prices, obviously when you
:03:49. > :03:56.put prices up, sales go down. So that is the biggest change hn the
:03:57. > :04:01.could have prevented this if they could have prevented this if they
:04:02. > :04:07.had acted more quickly. I think if we dealt with it differentlx at the
:04:08. > :04:11.time, we probably could havd got a better deal for locally grown
:04:12. > :04:16.product. But by the time th`t had happened, the case had alre`dy
:04:17. > :04:20.started and I think... That is despite acknowledging the v`lue this
:04:21. > :04:24.industry brings to this isl`nd. Politicians say there is nothing
:04:25. > :04:28.they can do to support its future. It is unfortunate, there is nothing
:04:29. > :04:32.I would like more than to sde that industry continue. It emploxs lots
:04:33. > :04:36.of people and brings money hnto the island. We have fought as h`rd as we
:04:37. > :04:39.could to keep it going, we won't to the High Court, spent a lot of money
:04:40. > :04:45.on top lawyers, we could not secure it, the judge made this dechsion and
:04:46. > :04:47.we are left with the conseqtences. Although many have stopped trading
:04:48. > :04:51.in the island, this one rem`ining company hopes to grow the industry
:04:52. > :04:54.even without the help of Jersey s Government.
:04:55. > :04:56.Alderney States will pay up to ?120,000
:04:57. > :04:58.to provide an extra 150 flights to Guernsey
:04:59. > :05:03.It says it's in a bid to boost economic activity
:05:04. > :05:08.The Government's underwriting the flights and says that if
:05:09. > :05:10.Aurigny puts on the flights and they're sold out,
:05:11. > :05:14.then it won't cost the Statds of Alderney anything.
:05:15. > :05:18.Described as the "largest t`x evasion network in the world" -
:05:19. > :05:22.Guernsey and Jersey have cole under fire in the House of Commons.
:05:23. > :05:24.The UK Shadow Home Secretarx, Diane Abbott, criticised
:05:25. > :05:27.the Crown Dependencies and Overseas British Territories
:05:28. > :05:30.during a debate on a bill about financial crime -
:05:31. > :05:33.looking at issues like monex laundering and tax evasion.
:05:34. > :05:36.The MP said there needs to be more focus on places
:05:37. > :05:51.If you're missing the view of a golf ball-like structure
:05:52. > :05:53.in Jersey's skyline since the weather radar was removed
:05:54. > :05:55.this summer - don't worry, a similar one has been
:05:56. > :06:00.A 2.5 tonne fibreglass dome was lifted
:06:01. > :06:04.onto the airport's new flight radar at Les Platons this morning.
:06:05. > :06:07.The ?2 million investment will protect the tracking epuipment
:06:08. > :06:10.from the weather, as well as use less energy
:06:11. > :06:15.Frame Football is coming to Jersey this weekend.
:06:16. > :06:18.It's a sport which enables people with disabilities to play
:06:19. > :06:23.It's proved popular in the TK, where leagues are now played.
:06:24. > :06:26.Now a Jersey football coach has teamed up
:06:27. > :06:29.with the Cerebral Palsy Sport organisation to hold an event
:06:30. > :06:31.at Springfield tomorrow in the hope it will develop into
:06:32. > :06:47.I came across frame football through Twitter. I saw some features on it.
:06:48. > :06:51.It really got my imagination. I have been really pleased by the
:06:52. > :06:53.progressive nature of the rdsponses I have had. There seems to be real
:06:54. > :06:55.enthusiasm on the island to promote enthusiasm on the island to promote
:06:56. > :06:56.disability sports. Jersey's cricketers
:06:57. > :06:58.are in Los Angeles, hoping to win promotion to the highest level
:06:59. > :07:00.in their history. They play their first match
:07:01. > :07:02.in World League Four Our sports editor Tim Pryor looks
:07:03. > :07:07.ahead to the tournament. Jersey won the right to plax in this
:07:08. > :07:10.six-team event by clinching the Division Five trophy on
:07:11. > :07:13.home turf back in the summer. They beat their near neighbours
:07:14. > :07:16.and rivals Guernsey on their way to the title, but now they leave
:07:17. > :07:19.the home comforts of Grainvhlle Farmers Field and the indoor
:07:20. > :07:20.training centre Jersey have played at this level
:07:21. > :07:26.twice before and on both occasions There's an optimism, though, that
:07:27. > :07:39.this time could be different. This time, I feel like we h`ve
:07:40. > :07:43.worked really hard and we h`ve a bit more experience. There are ` lot of
:07:44. > :07:44.youngsters in the squad but we have had experience of these tournaments
:07:45. > :07:45.now. And what an opportunity to play
:07:46. > :07:48.cricket on the international stage, just a dozen miles down
:07:49. > :07:50.the road from Hollywood. Oman, Bermuda, Italy,
:07:51. > :07:52.Denmark and the hosts America stand in the way of promotion
:07:53. > :07:56.to Jersey's highest level ever. You might think it a daunting
:07:57. > :07:59.prospect - especially playing the USA with its population of 20
:08:00. > :08:03.milion to choose players from - but Jersey did beat America before,
:08:04. > :08:06.back in 2008, and now look forward to trying
:08:07. > :08:18.to beat them again. -- 320 million. Massively excited.
:08:19. > :08:22.Have done a lot of prep going into this. Excited to see that all the
:08:23. > :08:24.hard work pays off. Looking forward to it.
:08:25. > :08:26.Included in Jersey's squad are teenagers Harrison Carlxon
:08:27. > :08:29.and Jonty Jenner, hopeful of becoming Hollywood's newest stars.
:08:30. > :08:36.And we'll have highlights and reaction from Los Angelds
:08:37. > :08:39.here on BBC Channel Island News over the next week, and the very latest
:08:40. > :08:45.From Los Angeles to New Zealand now -
:08:46. > :08:47.and Guernsey sportsmen are benefiting from the knowledge
:08:48. > :08:50.and experience of a former Olympian this weekend.
:08:51. > :08:53.Kiwi Caroline Powell took team bronze in London 2012
:08:54. > :08:56.for equestrian eventing, and now she's in Guernsey,

:09:08. > :09:09.In the world of equestrian dventing, Caroline Powell has
:09:10. > :09:13.Now this Olympic medallist hs giving something back, with a thred-day
:09:14. > :09:18.intensive training course for riders in Guernsey.
:09:19. > :09:20.The interest in these things is immense.
:09:21. > :09:32.I think it's gaining inform`tion from someone of this experidnce
:09:33. > :09:34.It's valuable to everyone and the membership certainlx gets
:09:35. > :09:38.Riders of all ages and abilhties have signed up, and will be put
:09:39. > :09:41.through their paces in the three eventing disciplines of dressage,
:09:42. > :09:47.Seeing horses and riders improve and seeing the jockeys have those
:09:48. > :09:50.light bulb moments and the horses enjoying it and getting
:09:51. > :09:53.the stimulation into the whole training process -
:09:54. > :09:55.you know, every horse has a different learning pattern,
:09:56. > :09:58.and just working them out - I get a lot of satisfaction out
:09:59. > :10:02.of it and just seeing the gtys walk out of the arena with a big
:10:03. > :10:05.smile of their face is quite important for me.
:10:06. > :10:07.It's a rare opportunity for riders in Guernsey,
:10:08. > :10:09.who don't often get the chance to work with international
:10:10. > :10:17.We only ever get one person every year, or even every two years,
:10:18. > :10:20.so there hasn't been anybodx for a couple of years, really.
:10:21. > :10:22.So it's really good that she's come over.
:10:23. > :10:24.Caroline has been impressed with what she's seen so far.
:10:25. > :10:27.So much so that there are plans to make these training sesshons
:10:28. > :10:35.Roisin Gauson, BBC Channel Hslands News, Guernsey.
:10:36. > :10:37.The weather's been feeling rather eerie this week
:10:38. > :10:38.ahead of Halloween, so, Bee, what does
:10:39. > :10:52.And looks like it will be another mild Halloween, the third one in a
:10:53. > :10:57.row. But it will not be amazing sunshine this weekend. It whll be
:10:58. > :11:00.dry. Slowly it will brighten up and we will see is mist and fog
:11:01. > :11:05.tomorrow, then some decent of sunshine. Very quiet weather across
:11:06. > :11:09.our patch over the next few days, thanks to this area of high
:11:10. > :11:15.pressure. Very little changd over the weekend. There is a lot of cloud
:11:16. > :11:20.trapped underneath at high so it will not be beautiful blue skies.
:11:21. > :11:24.But it should start to break in places. Keeping a solid laydr of
:11:25. > :11:30.cloud tonight, it should be dry the cloud will at times so that could be
:11:31. > :11:34.some mist and fog. But not ` cold night, temperatures of Maind or ten.
:11:35. > :11:39.So another great start to the day tomorrow. One to light showdrs. For
:11:40. > :11:43.most, it will be dry. The bdst chance of sunshine will be hnto the
:11:44. > :11:49.afternoon. Where you get sole breaks in the cloud, it could be qtite
:11:50. > :11:56.mild. 12 spots could hit 15 Celsius. Here are the times of high water for
:11:57. > :12:00.tomorrow. Not much in the w`ke of waves for the surfers. Slightly
:12:01. > :12:09.larger out towards the West but clean conditions all round. Here is
:12:10. > :12:15.the coastal waters forecast. A lot of cloud tomorrow, low cloud and
:12:16. > :12:20.mist first thing so visibilhty picking up as we had through the
:12:21. > :12:23.day. Halloween weekend, you can expect quite an eerie night on
:12:24. > :12:27.Saturday. Quite a lot of cloud tomorrow and that will lower through
:12:28. > :12:34.Saturday night into Sunday lorning. Some mist and fog at times. Sunday
:12:35. > :12:38.will be dry, a lot of cloud, more brightness compared to Saturday
:12:39. > :12:41.That continues into Monday for Halloween itself, it should be
:12:42. > :12:48.night, again, the risk of some mist night, again, the risk of some mist
:12:49. > :12:51.and fog. But staying mild. I will be back with your he`dlights

:19:57. > :20:00.to winning ways but it won't be easy against a side two

:20:02. > :20:04.are at Rotherham and Albion And this evening Jersey
:20:05. > :20:07.are at Yorkshire Carnegie A Cornish Paddleboarder
:20:08. > :20:11.is about to swap the waves of Polzeath for the tropical
:20:12. > :20:12.waters of Fiji. Alex Murray has been selectdd
:20:13. > :20:15.for Team GB to compete at the rather long-titled -
:20:16. > :20:17.Fiji International Surfing Association's World Standup Paddle
:20:18. > :20:19.and paddleboard championships. As Johnny Rutherford
:20:20. > :20:34.has been finding out, Alex Murray is passionate about the
:20:35. > :20:39.boards he makes. And his passion doesn't stop there. He knows just
:20:40. > :20:43.how to get the best out of them He came second in the national paddle
:20:44. > :20:51.board competition. Now he h`s been scooped up by Team GB to colpete in
:20:52. > :20:56.the World Championships in Fiji I am as prepared as I can be, bearing
:20:57. > :21:00.in mind I have never served there before and I will be up agahnst the
:21:01. > :21:04.world was my best who are used to competing without wet suits in warm
:21:05. > :21:06.do occasionally get big wavds and I do occasionally get big wavds and I
:21:07. > :21:12.been training for the past ten months or so. Mostly here at
:21:13. > :21:16.Polzeath and some days it h`s its day. Obviously, the conditions today
:21:17. > :21:19.are not brilliant but the great thing about paddle surfing hs that
:21:20. > :21:26.you can go in any conditions. But in Fiji, the words are that thd weights
:21:27. > :21:30.can be frighteningly big and this is the first time for Alex and his
:21:31. > :21:34.first trip to Fiji. Everybody has really wound me up about how scary
:21:35. > :21:37.it is going to be but I am just going to try to do my best `nd
:21:38. > :21:42.hopefully with the adrenaline of the other guys around me it will give me
:21:43. > :21:47.a bit more encouragement to take off on one of the biggest waves I have
:21:48. > :21:50.ever served in my life. Frol the age of 12, Alex always favoured surfing
:21:51. > :21:55.over other water sport dischplines he tried, until you had it go at
:21:56. > :21:59.stand-up paddle surfing. Thd beauty of the stand-up paddle board is that
:22:00. > :22:02.other servers. For me, it enables me other servers. For me, it enables me
:22:03. > :22:06.to go in for a very short sdssion and get as many waves as I want
:22:07. > :22:10.because I am per this out. Ht also gives me a lot more power when I'm
:22:11. > :22:18.doing my turns. The feeling is fantastic. It is like surfing but on
:22:19. > :22:22.another level to surfing. 200 athletes from 30 nations gather to
:22:23. > :22:29.compete in Fiji, which starts on the 12th of November.
:22:30. > :22:31.Before we go to the weather with Bee - let's head back to Exeter
:22:32. > :22:36.Fire fighters remain on the scene of the Clarence Hotel,
:22:37. > :22:40.almost 14 hours after first being called to the fire
:22:41. > :22:44.Tonight part of the city centre remains cordoned off.
:22:45. > :22:52.Let's go live to Hamish Marshall for the latest.
:22:53. > :22:59.The latest information I am told is there are 27 pumping appliances here
:23:00. > :23:03.in Exeter, trying to tackle this fire this evening. Just takd a few
:23:04. > :23:07.moments ago, I can still sed flames coming out from the Royal Clarence
:23:08. > :23:11.Hotel. It is a big job. And through the day, thousands of gallons of
:23:12. > :23:17.water had been used. And in fact, down at the river a special pump has
:23:18. > :23:22.been put into the water there to bring water from the river tp hoses
:23:23. > :23:25.through the city centre to help tackle this blaze and peopld living
:23:26. > :23:30.in Exeter are being asked to do what they can to use as little w`ter as
:23:31. > :23:34.possible because so much of the city's resources have been tsed on
:23:35. > :23:37.that today. I am told that firefighters will be here rhght
:23:38. > :23:40.throughout the weekend. Ple`se officers from across Devon `nd
:23:41. > :23:44.Cornwall have been drafted hn. They will be manning cordons as well but
:23:45. > :23:48.it is hoped part of the citx centre will be open for people to shop
:23:49. > :23:52.tomorrow. As for a cause, rdnovation work on the art gallery next door, I
:23:53. > :23:56.am told, is one possible catse. One other thing to read tonight, no one
:23:57. > :23:58.has been injured. OK, many thanks, Hamish.
:23:59. > :24:10.It is not looking too bad. H should be able to get out on my broom for
:24:11. > :24:15.Halloween. Pretty much the same as the next few days. We have had very
:24:16. > :24:18.grey skies. This sent from one of our weather watchers this morning
:24:19. > :24:22.and very little changes over the coming days. It will stay mhld this
:24:23. > :24:26.weekend. An awful lot of cloud about. On balance, more clotd than
:24:27. > :24:31.sunshine, and again we will see is Kali mist and fog. The reason for is
:24:32. > :24:35.we have got high-pressure anchored across the UK. There is no change
:24:36. > :24:36.over the coming days. A lot of cloud trapped underneath that high, so not
:24:37. > :24:40.much in the way of rainfall but much in the way of rainfall but
:24:41. > :24:43.certainly a good deal of cloud. Quite a bit of Lookout as wdll,
:24:44. > :24:47.mornings. Halloween, it shotld be mornings. Halloween, it shotld be
:24:48. > :24:49.dry, a little bit more sunshine compared with the weekend and
:24:50. > :24:53.against is overnight mist and fog and you can see from the satellite
:24:54. > :24:58.picture just how much cloud we have had today. It has been breaking up
:24:59. > :25:00.in places, so I think there has been some bright spells but generally it
:25:01. > :25:04.is going to be quite cloudy as we had to tonight and that clotd will
:25:05. > :25:08.lower salt mist, he'll fog xet again, the odd spot of drizzle but I
:25:09. > :25:12.think most places will be dry. With all of that cloud, it will not be a
:25:13. > :25:18.cold night. We could get down into single figures in the countryside.
:25:19. > :25:22.For most, those of 10-11dC. A great start to the day tomorrow. Some
:25:23. > :25:25.drizzle. Most places dry. It will slowly brighten as we go through the
:25:26. > :25:30.day. We will see some sunshhne coming and going. The best bet of
:25:31. > :25:35.sunshine on high ground. Whdre you do get the brightness, it could well
:25:36. > :25:38.Celsius above what we would expect Celsius above what we would expect
:25:39. > :25:43.for the time of year. Height of around 15 Celsius. So I think as we
:25:44. > :25:47.head towards the Isles of Scilly, it will stay largely dry. Again, and of
:25:48. > :25:55.a lot of cloud but also somd bright spells into the afternoon. Here are
:25:56. > :26:01.the times of high water. In terms of surfing, not a great deal of waves.
:26:02. > :26:06.Slightly more on the north coast. Further south, one to two foot and
:26:07. > :26:11.clean. For our coastal waters, winds east to sell easterly, thred to
:26:12. > :26:15.four. Fairweather after any mist and fog and the visibility good. By
:26:16. > :26:19.Halloween itself, dry but cloudy. You can expect some sunshind through
:26:20. > :26:23.the afternoon. Quite eerie overnight, actually. Once again we
:26:24. > :26:27.will see some mist and fog so perfectly for the trick or treat is
:26:28. > :26:32.out there. Very quiet as we head to the coming days. A lot of cloud as
:26:33. > :26:37.I have mentioned. As we go through the weekend, we have some e`rly mist
:26:38. > :26:40.and fog tomorrow. The cloud will be big and it could give the odd spot
:26:41. > :26:44.of drizzle but for most of ht will be dry. Into the afternoon, we
:26:45. > :26:50.should see some decent spells of sunshine. Those temperatures doing
:26:51. > :26:53.well. At this time of year, we would expect- around 11-12dC. We will
:26:54. > :26:57.probably get the mid teens tomorrow. By Saturday night, if you'rd out and
:26:58. > :27:00.about coming to be dry. A lot of cloud so quite a mild night and that
:27:01. > :27:05.does mean Britain on Sunday, we will seize early mist and fog. Fhgure
:27:06. > :27:09.cloud on Sunday. So let brightness will stop but again, where xou do
:27:10. > :27:13.get some breaks, it is cert`inly not going to be cold and it looks like
:27:14. > :27:17.actually as we had into the side of next week things are staying
:27:18. > :27:21.settled. Super Halloween itself another dry day with some bright
:27:22. > :27:24.spells and staying mild. Back to you.
:27:25. > :27:29.The experiment indeed. That is just about it from us. I will be back
:27:30. > :27:34.with the late news including all of the latest from the fire on
:27:35. > :27:38.Cathedral Green in Exeter. Of course, that is at 10:30pm here on
:27:39. > :27:40.lovely evening and a good wdekend. lovely evening and a good wdekend.
:27:41. > :27:46.Take. Good night.
