:00:50. > :00:50.to him. An IT officer at Jersey's prison has
:00:51. > :00:54.been jailed for 18 months for distributing indecent
:00:55. > :01:02.images of children. 28-year-old Simon Edward Gascoyne
:01:03. > :01:05.was caught after Homeland Security Simon Gascoyne on his way to HMP
:01:06. > :01:16.La Moye after being jailed Gascoyne, who worked at the prison,
:01:17. > :01:20.had been sharing indecent images Jersey Police found post-it notes
:01:21. > :01:27.with evidence of online user names Today, the court heard Gascoyne had
:01:28. > :01:33.used a mobile phone app to share at least 12 images
:01:34. > :01:36.with seven different groups. Some of the images were in
:01:37. > :01:39.the most severe category. He was caught after US
:01:40. > :01:43.authorities sent Jersey Police a disk of evidence showing
:01:44. > :01:46.his online activity. And a later investigation showed
:01:47. > :01:49.he'd accessed pornography - albeit legal - while at his desk
:01:50. > :01:54.at La Moye. The court heard Gascoyne claimed
:01:55. > :01:59.he didn't know why he'd done it, he didn't find images
:02:00. > :02:01.of children sexually appealing, and that he was only
:02:02. > :02:03.interested in trading images. He described his own behaviour
:02:04. > :02:05.as disturbing, and said sharing Solicitor General Mark Temple -
:02:06. > :02:11.acting for the prosecution - said the former IT worker recognised
:02:12. > :02:18.he'd ruined his life. His defence advocate,
:02:19. > :02:20.Pierre Landick, said Gascoyne knew his behaviour had
:02:21. > :02:22.been repugnant and abhorrent and asked for a sentence
:02:23. > :02:24.of community service. The court heard he was fearful
:02:25. > :02:29.of prison having worked there. But the judge, William Bailhache,
:02:30. > :02:31.said the community would expect a jail term, although he recognised
:02:32. > :02:36.the defendant needed help. Gascoyne is now back at La Moye
:02:37. > :02:43.but on the other side of the bars. Well, the BBC asked the prison
:02:44. > :02:46.for an interview but instead "There was no evidence of illegal

:03:31. > :03:33.the national news and weather forecast, this big weather front
:03:34. > :03:38.coming through. I think we all understand that. One thing for sure
:03:39. > :03:42.is that neither the masters of our ships or the operations team, if the
:03:43. > :03:46.weather is such that it is not safe on appropriate to sail, we will
:03:47. > :03:50.cancel the ceiling. We do not wish to do that and we don't want to do
:03:51. > :03:52.it and we know about the disruption it causes. But, frankly, it is the
:03:53. > :03:55.best thing to do. The BBC has agreed to take over
:03:56. > :03:58.the cost of providing free TV licences for eligible islanders over
:03:59. > :04:01.the age of 75 in Jersey. The BBC will pick up the bill
:04:02. > :04:04.from 2018, saving the public purse more than a quarter of a million
:04:05. > :04:06.pounds by 2020. The new licence deal
:04:07. > :04:08.between the corporation and the island's government also
:04:09. > :04:10.included a commitment from the BBC to continue to provide Jersey

:05:14. > :05:18.and while many islanders will spend the Sunday opening presents
:05:19. > :05:20.and tucking into a turkey dinner, there are of course some
:05:21. > :05:23.who are less fortunate. Three years ago, a Jersey woman
:05:24. > :05:27.started the online group A Gift For Christmas,
:05:28. > :05:28.appealing for donations Charlie McArdle has
:05:29. > :05:34.been finding out more. It started as a simple idea,
:05:35. > :05:37.helping somebody less Three years on and it's snowballed
:05:38. > :05:52.with the help of social media. Once I set up the page, within one
:05:53. > :05:57.hour, there was 100 plus likes. That is amazing. I started to get
:05:58. > :06:00.messages and loss of support. People suggested they would help us, which
:06:01. > :06:02.was fantastic. Since then, it has absolutely grown to what it is
:06:03. > :06:04.today, which is huge. Food, toys, toiletries and treats
:06:05. > :06:07.donated by islanders They go to three Jersey charities,
:06:08. > :06:22.including The Grace Trust, We assist them by providing food
:06:23. > :06:25.parcels for them. They appeared with a truck to pick up the food and I
:06:26. > :06:27.had to send them away to get a bigger lorry. I think they were
:06:28. > :06:29.amazed by how much we had collected. This Christmas, the team
:06:30. > :06:40.of volunteers have already wrapped For us, it is about being able to
:06:41. > :06:45.just have the satisfaction that they are getting something on Christmas
:06:46. > :06:49.Day. A lot of us take for granted being able to what down the stairs
:06:50. > :06:51.on Christmas Day and have a pile of presents under the Christmas tree.
:06:52. > :06:53.We're not all that fortunate. And the project has become

:07:13. > :07:17.to see the difference it's making, Alan Whicker was best known
:07:18. > :07:24.for travelling the globe reporting But his partner of more than 40
:07:25. > :07:30.years says it was what he saw when the cameras stopped that made
:07:31. > :07:39.the biggest impression. The thing about India is that a
:07:40. > :07:43.graduate by the throat and choo-choo into consciousness. You cannot abhor
:07:44. > :07:49.what you see. Everything is exaggerated and extreme -- cannot
:07:50. > :07:54.ignore. The colours, noises, wealth and poverty. Very difficult for
:07:55. > :07:58.Alan. Because under that clipped moustache, there was quite a soft
:07:59. > :08:01.heart. He did not like the idea of climbing over huddled bodies to
:08:02. > :08:04.drink champagne on a moonlit terrace with a film star. It made him feel
:08:05. > :08:05.quite ill. Going to school and learning
:08:06. > :08:09.is a way out of poverty for children here, but sometimes something
:08:10. > :08:11.incredibly simple gets in the way. Children with bad eyesight aren't
:08:12. > :08:14.able to follow lessons at school, and they can't afford to get glasses
:08:15. > :08:16.or the help they need. That's where the
:08:17. > :08:19.Vision Van comes in. Paid for by the Whicker's World
:08:20. > :08:22.Foundation, it's a mobile one stop shop to help children
:08:23. > :08:27.with sight problems. They've been doing the first-ever
:08:28. > :08:36.eye tests at schools in the region. It is amazing to see all the
:08:37. > :08:44.schoolchildren. Over 600 children here and at least 90 have been on
:08:45. > :08:46.the Vision van. Many have had treatments allowing them to get
:08:47. > :08:56.glasses, which is amazing. If you can identified things early, they

:09:02. > :09:03.The foundation's also paid for a children's ward in one
:09:04. > :09:05.of the few eye hospitals in Uttar Predesh.

:09:11. > :09:17.I am so glad that Alan has enabled us to do something, even however
:09:18. > :09:20.small, to make a difference. So, darling, if you're listening, I am
:09:21. > :09:22.not using all those girls. Thank you.
:09:23. > :09:26.Let's take a look at tomorrow's forecast now with David Braine.
:09:27. > :09:35.Good evening. I think Christmas this year is likely to be quite a mild
:09:36. > :09:38.one. It will also be quite windy. The winds increase steadily through
:09:39. > :09:45.the day tomorrow. It will be a bright start. Rain later,
:09:46. > :09:47.particularly after dark. It also becomes increasingly windy west,
:09:48. > :09:53.four a short while, gale force winds. The reason is the area of low
:09:54. > :09:56.pressure. It is a long way away from us at the moment. This lump of cloud
:09:57. > :10:00.on the other side of the Atlantic will stop at it is moving fast. The
:10:01. > :10:11.centre of the low-pressure passes between Scotland and the Faroe s.
:10:12. > :10:14.Along the leading edge of the weather front, the isobars are
:10:15. > :10:18.squeezed up together and that is a strong gust of wind. It could well
:10:19. > :10:23.be for a couple of hours we have blustery winds. By Christmas Eve,
:10:24. > :10:27.and area of high pressure across Spain and Portugal down here.
:10:28. > :10:32.Westerly winds for us. Even know whether France approach from the
:10:33. > :10:35.West during Christmas Day, I do not think we will have many problems
:10:36. > :10:38.associated with that. Christmas Day itself could be rather grey with
:10:39. > :10:44.spots of rain here and there. But it is mild. Overnight, a few showers.
:10:45. > :10:51.Not many. Enough clear spells in between showers to low temperatures
:10:52. > :10:54.to get well into double figures. Predominantly dry. With clear skies,
:10:55. > :10:59.temperatures dipping to six or seven. It is quite chilly to start
:11:00. > :11:01.tomorrow. The breeze will continue to increase through the morning
:11:02. > :11:10.tomorrow, which is bright and largely dry. By the middle of you --
:11:11. > :11:13.afternoon, there is more cloud. By the end of the women," is a bricks
:11:14. > :11:16.of rain and gusty winds are associated with that as well. 11
:11:17. > :11:21.Celsius will be the maximum temperature tomorrow. If you are
:11:22. > :11:24.travelling, particularly by ferry, you need to check the details.
:11:25. > :11:29.Strong winds will whip up pretty big waves on the English Channel. For
:11:30. > :11:34.all of us are across the islands, we could have shot gusts of wind up to
:11:35. > :11:43.45-50 mph. Here are the times of high water... Some quite big waves,
:11:44. > :11:49.for many of our beaches, dangerous conditions once winds get going. The
:11:50. > :12:00.best of the surf through the morning. Here are the winds on the
:12:01. > :12:03.coasts. Quite weather for Spain and Portugal
:12:04. > :12:08.here after wet weather in last year weeks. It is dry. Quite cool across
:12:09. > :12:11.central France and eventually the rain will turn up here. Christmas
:12:12. > :12:13.Eve is blustery with some showers. Christmas Day is mild and breezy.
:12:14. > :12:15.Have a good night. You're up-to-date with the latest
:12:16. > :12:17.news for the Channel Islands. I'll be back with your
:12:18. > :12:19.news at 10.30pm. The Boconnoc Estate,

:12:58. > :13:10.should have been done, cutting out the larger ones
:13:11. > :13:14.and allowing smaller ones to grow so that over the years
:13:15. > :13:17.they are coppiced, The estate who owns this land
:13:18. > :13:25.says they cut the trees because of squirrel damage
:13:26. > :13:28.and the danger of branches falling Wildlife experts say squirrel
:13:29. > :13:34.populations are so vast here that the amount of damage
:13:35. > :13:38.to trees with them ripping off the bark to get to the sap

:14:19. > :14:23.volunteers have decided to combine learning how to make bread
:14:24. > :14:26.with helping others. The project based in Sutton Poyntz

:14:58. > :15:04.It must be particularly lonely at Christmas, being on the street and
:15:05. > :15:11.on your own. It must be great to feel people care about you.
:15:12. > :15:12.Are you making bread? You concentrate on meeting the
:15:13. > :15:28.dough. The smack needing the dough. We have at least one day where we
:15:29. > :15:31.bake in our kitchens and take them down somewhere where homeless people
:15:32. > :15:38.need food. You have busily been baking bread on
:15:39. > :15:43.a larger scale, but is it the simplicity of baking for someone
:15:44. > :15:46.else that draws so many people in? Yes, these bakers love to make bread
:15:47. > :15:50.in their own homes. They want it to be a special craft that they have
:15:51. > :15:55.learned, and they are passing it on to someone who really needs it.
:15:56. > :16:02.This is just a white loaf, it has been put into a Platt.
:16:03. > :16:12.Hopefully today it will go off to one of the charities, and one hopes
:16:13. > :16:19.that they will get to eat it. Right, marvellous!
:16:20. > :16:26.It shows people that they are being thought of. To those who do not
:16:27. > :16:30.always appreciate and respect the nature of some of the people that

:16:41. > :16:44.at Christmas so Victoria took to the stage to speak to two
:16:45. > :16:47.of the stars who are thrilled Well, being a Christmas baby,
:16:48. > :16:53.I went to pantomime every year I absolutely loved it,
:16:54. > :16:58.but shows certainly have changed if you're going to meet any dragon,
:16:59. > :17:05.this is the one to meet. What do you think of
:17:06. > :17:08.the show so far, Dillon? Let's go and meet some
:17:09. > :17:12.of the characters in this pantomime. Lesley Joseph, Duncan James,
:17:13. > :17:15.thank you for doing this for us. If you look at the set,
:17:16. > :17:20.which is absolutely glorious, but as an audience you see wonderful
:17:21. > :17:26.dancing, you see real comedy, you see magic happening,
:17:27. > :17:29.you get dragons going out of the audience, and as an artist
:17:30. > :17:33.you can pull the audience and, you can let them laugh,
:17:34. > :17:36.you can make them cry. And it is a wonderful
:17:37. > :17:38.theatrical experience, It must have had to change over
:17:39. > :17:43.the last so many years, though, because it has to become more
:17:44. > :17:46.relevant for people. There is so much on television,
:17:47. > :17:48.so much to do these days. But ours is quite
:17:49. > :17:50.traditional, isn't it? But what is really lovely also
:17:51. > :17:55.is some of the first time kids have actually had an opportunity to come
:17:56. > :17:58.out of the house and actually We are consumed their television

:18:02. > :18:04.difficult, especially, to drag kids So for a lot of them,
:18:05. > :18:08.this is their first And you know an awful
:18:09. > :18:11.lot about Devon. I grew up and did all my schooling
:18:12. > :18:17.down here, so I'm a local boy, I got all my school friends coming
:18:18. > :18:28.to see me during this run. Quite nice to be here?
:18:29. > :18:33.It is nice to be here, I'm spending Christmas where I used to live, and
:18:34. > :18:36.we are staying on the beautiful Plymouth Hoe. It is so stunning and
:18:37. > :18:44.beautiful here. We went out last night. We went to the Dolphin.
:18:45. > :18:48.Love all that. It was great to be among all the
:18:49. > :18:52.locals and felt really special. I have to ask you both, tricky
:18:53. > :18:59.question, being in Devon, jam or cream?
:19:00. > :19:06.Absolutely, cream and then jam. I'm the other way round. Jam first
:19:07. > :19:11.and then the cream. The Spotlight viewers will go mad.
:19:12. > :19:16.I'm not sure now. I'm nervous unless I said the wrong thing.
:19:17. > :19:21.Thank you so much for talking to us, we really appreciated.
:19:22. > :19:26.Fancy starting the cream tea debate all over again!

:20:42. > :20:48.Ottoman Parkway and Baldwin town, -- Bodmin Parkway and Bodmin town. He
:20:49. > :20:54.was financially compensated because he lost money, but he also had the

:24:09. > :24:16.and Europe. Let's see what the weather is great belike for the few
:24:17. > :24:20.days. Looks like we're grey to have a mild
:24:21. > :24:26.and grey Christmas, because there is all cloud screaming in the Atlantic.
:24:27. > :24:32.Low-pressure arriving tomorrow, Christmas 2016 likely to be windy
:24:33. > :24:36.and mild. We do have a warning from the Met Office about the strength of
:24:37. > :24:42.wind for tomorrow. Before we get to Chris was, we could have costs of up
:24:43. > :24:48.to 50-60 mph. That area of low pressure has been given a name, it
:24:49. > :24:51.has been cold Barbara. It travels up towards Scotland and arrives through
:24:52. > :24:56.the day tomorrow. The strongest winds will be in the northern half
:24:57. > :24:59.of the country, but once this weather have -- front arrives, it
:25:00. > :25:05.brings heavy rain and lively gusts of wind. That moves through, and by
:25:06. > :25:08.the time we get to Christmas Eve, a blustery west, south West wind,
:25:09. > :25:13.relatively mild, briefly some sunshine, generally cloudy. Chris
:25:14. > :25:19.was day itself, no chance of anything wintry -- Christmas. We
:25:20. > :25:26.will have an unusually mild crisp as day. -- Christmas Day.
:25:27. > :25:31.We will see some of the strongest gusts of wind, but they will ease
:25:32. > :25:35.and become more westerly is that weather front goes through. The
:25:36. > :25:39.cloud and showers we have seen today will probably continue this evening
:25:40. > :25:42.and overnight tonight, but in between the showers we have had an
:25:43. > :25:49.awful lot of fine weather, which is nice, and some sunshine. Our
:25:50. > :25:55.cameraman enjoying lovely sunshine at this estuary. It has been quite a
:25:56. > :25:58.pleasant day, a good day to be out and about enjoying the fine weather.
:25:59. > :26:02.And the sunshine. It will be different tomorrow because of the
:26:03. > :26:08.strength of wind and the rain coming in. No chance of seeing those
:26:09. > :26:11.temperatures that could give us any frost, although temperatures tonight
:26:12. > :26:16.will fall, a lot of the showers will fade away, we will get clear skies
:26:17. > :26:20.later on tonight, so a touch of frost briefly by tomorrow morning.
:26:21. > :26:26.Temperatures starting the day between 2-4 . Briefly some sunshine
:26:27. > :26:31.in the morning, but quite quickly the clouds streaming in and the
:26:32. > :26:35.weather front arriving. Gusts could be 30, 40, even 60 mph in that rain
:26:36. > :26:40.band. It clears from the West later in the day, with a top temperature
:26:41. > :26:45.of 12-13 . There is the forecast for the Isles of Scilly. Windy with rain
:26:46. > :26:54.for daytime, then turning much drier as that weather front goes through.
:26:55. > :27:01.The times of high water... Big waves for surfers, and perhaps
:27:02. > :27:04.the cleanest surf will be along the north coast, because once the wind
:27:05. > :27:08.gets going, that is likely to be very messy indeed.
:27:09. > :27:17.The coastal waters forecast reflecting the strength of wind.
:27:18. > :27:22.Christmas eve is going to be blustery, rather cloudy, with a few
:27:23. > :27:27.showers, and Christmas Day, mild and breezy. Have a good evening.
:27:28. > :27:33.Thank you stop I usually know everything in the running order, but
:27:34. > :27:38.not this evening! Can't believe I managed to keep it a
:27:39. > :27:42.secret Alde! That all from us today. Have a wonderful Christmas, look
