:00:31. > :00:37.They are just a fascinating history of Jersey socially, politically, and

:00:38. > :00:42.also they tell the stories of the people who lived here. And we have

:00:43. > :00:47.got some unsettled and wintry weather coming our way over the next

:00:48. > :00:48.few days, but will we see any snow across the islands? I will have the

:00:49. > :00:53.full forecast. Guernsey's Education Committee has

:00:54. > :00:56.survived a vote of no confidence. States members voted 22 -

:00:57. > :00:59.13 against the motion placed by Deputy Emilie Yerby and signed

:01:00. > :01:04.by six other members. She's one of the new faces

:01:05. > :01:18.in the government. And Deputy Emilie Yerby has been

:01:19. > :01:22.leading an attempt to take down the Committee for Education,

:01:23. > :01:26.Sport and Culture. One of its members,

:01:27. > :01:28.Deputy Mark Leadbeater, And Deputy Yerby says

:01:29. > :01:41.she can't understand how I have said that this particular

:01:42. > :01:45.committee, who have not just said that selection is the right way

:01:46. > :01:51.forward, but has said in so many words that non-selection... I don't

:01:52. > :01:52.understand how they feel they can do it.

:01:53. > :01:54.But, in the States today, the remaining members

:01:55. > :01:58.Its Vice President says, despite all the pressure,

:01:59. > :02:08.We have difference of opinion in the selection debate, but in most things

:02:09. > :02:13.we have been unanimous in our decisions and we work well together,

:02:14. > :02:16.we have a balance. We can come back with a proposal that appeals to both

:02:17. > :02:22.sides of the house. You don't want to have five non-selection lists

:02:23. > :02:23.pioneering a cause that half the house will not support when it comes

:02:24. > :02:25.back as a proposal. After a day's debate

:02:26. > :02:28.in the States' Chamber, So the Committee for Education,

:02:29. > :02:32.Sport and Culture survives But it's been a politically bruising

:02:33. > :02:39.start to the new year. Fishermen in Jersey claim they're

:02:40. > :02:42.being persecuted and effectively prevented from fishing

:02:43. > :02:45.in Guernsey waters. They say a fee of ?500 to renew

:02:46. > :02:48.current licences is unfair Guernsey fishermen don't have to pay

:02:49. > :02:54.for their own licence renewals. Alison Moss has been

:02:55. > :02:58.following the story. It's a complicated issue,

:02:59. > :03:01.and disputes between the two islands fishing industries have been rolling

:03:02. > :03:05.on for many years, but this latest row centres on an administrative fee

:03:06. > :03:10.of ?500 to renew a licence allowing fishing boats to work in Guernsey

:03:11. > :03:13.waters between three and twelve For the boats who fish in the area,

:03:14. > :03:31.it's frustrating and they're looking If we can believe the rhetoric that

:03:32. > :03:37.the islands are trying to work together, and I hope that is the

:03:38. > :03:43.case, then it should be a political matter to simply resolve this and

:03:44. > :03:47.have that ?500 fee removed. I think that is the way to go. When Jersey

:03:48. > :03:53.fishermen have asked for an explanation of what the ?500

:03:54. > :03:56.actually represents, they are told that it is a political decision to

:03:57. > :04:03.charge it to Jersey fishermen. The main issue is that Jersey fishermen

:04:04. > :04:08.feel it is unfair that they have to pay the charge and Guernsey

:04:09. > :04:11.fishermen don't. The state of Guernsey have decided to subsidise

:04:12. > :04:15.their fishermen so they don't have too pay. The department responsible

:04:16. > :04:20.here in Jersey says they are aware of the issues which have arisen, and

:04:21. > :04:24.they are currently discussing it. But the fish Association want them

:04:25. > :04:30.to step in and talk to the authorities in Guernsey. I genuinely

:04:31. > :04:34.think that our objectives and aims are much the same as Guernsey

:04:35. > :04:39.fishermen. We want that area to be controlled, to be policed, and we

:04:40. > :04:43.want real intelligent proper fisheries management so we all have

:04:44. > :04:48.a future in that area. The fishermen here in Jersey hope that by putting

:04:49. > :04:50.pressure on the politicians, they may soon be sailing into smoother

:04:51. > :04:55.waters. A hearing has been told midwives

:04:56. > :04:57.in Guernsey were providing "unsafe and inadequate standards of care"

:04:58. > :05:00.when a newborn baby died in 2014. Three staff on the Loveridge Ward

:05:01. > :05:02.at Princess Elizabeth Hospital are facing misconduct charges

:05:03. > :05:05.at a Nursing and Midwifery Council Today, the hearing was told senior

:05:06. > :05:10.nurse Lisa Granville investigated the baby's death and found no issues

:05:11. > :05:14.with its treatment. But later reviews revealed

:05:15. > :05:18."inadequate" care and concerns that midwives were acting outside

:05:19. > :05:21.the scope of their practice. The three women accept some

:05:22. > :05:25.charges and deny others. The hearing is expected

:05:26. > :05:32.to last four weeks. A 31-year-old man has appeared

:05:33. > :05:35.in court in Jersey to face Appearing in the Magistrate's Court,

:05:36. > :05:40.Pawel Dzielak, who was born in Poland, is accused of robbing

:05:41. > :05:44.Temple Stores in Stopford Road last He was remanded in custody

:05:45. > :05:49.until his next court You're watching the BBC

:05:50. > :05:58.in the Channel Islands. Later in Spotlight with Justin

:05:59. > :06:00.and Victoria: Batty about bats - meet the lady who's turned her home

:06:01. > :06:03.into a bat cave. The Jersey Reds' chairman

:06:04. > :06:12.is confident the rugby club will be able to buy back their St Peter

:06:13. > :06:15.ground within three years. Jersey recently sold

:06:16. > :06:16.their assets after running But now fundraising plans

:06:17. > :06:21.are underway, and last night more than 100 club members met to find

:06:22. > :06:23.out about them. After successive years

:06:24. > :06:31.of financial losses, the Reds took the bold step

:06:32. > :06:33.of selling the clubhouse A short-term help -

:06:34. > :06:36.for the time being, they're renting them,

:06:37. > :06:39.but now begins the work While the club hopes to bring

:06:40. > :06:45.in half of the money needed by selling a plot of land,

:06:46. > :06:48.the rest will need to be raised by supporters or sponsorship,

:06:49. > :06:59.including a big fundraising ball. We went through some dark days at

:07:00. > :07:03.the letter and of last year, but to really good things have come out of

:07:04. > :07:09.that, one is the fact we are back in control of our own destiny, and

:07:10. > :07:12.secondly the number of tremendous qualified individuals that have

:07:13. > :07:16.stepped forward and offered their help, both in financial terms, but

:07:17. > :07:17.more importantly, giving their time to drive efforts to raise back the

:07:18. > :07:19.money we need. The club has also been

:07:20. > :07:21.considering its structure. They want to stay fully professional

:07:22. > :07:23.and continue playing To do that in a less risky way

:07:24. > :07:33.could mean more loan We have got to do it in a way that

:07:34. > :07:36.we can afford it. We will be working with some premiership clubs to see

:07:37. > :07:41.how we can develop relationships with them to take loan players from

:07:42. > :07:45.them for an extended period of time, to supplement a core of

:07:46. > :07:47.professionals that we would put directly onto our books.

:07:48. > :07:50.A new stand at St Peter could also be on the cards -

:07:51. > :07:52.better facilities should attract bigger crowds, and therefore

:07:53. > :07:58.more cash to help get the Reds their home back.

:07:59. > :08:00.From plans to abolish public executions, to a man

:08:01. > :08:03.found guilty of bigamy - more than 150 records have just been

:08:04. > :08:06.made available for the first time by Jersey Heritage.

:08:07. > :08:09.They've been closed to public access for up to 100 years,

:08:10. > :08:12.but they're now able to shed light on some of the island's

:08:13. > :08:23.darkest periods of history, as Jessica Banham reports.

:08:24. > :08:31.June 1940, German planes moving to bomb St Peter Port and St Helier

:08:32. > :08:34.harbour. Nine people died that day in Jersey, but now, thanks to the

:08:35. > :08:39.island's archivists, their stories live on. Here we have a list of the

:08:40. > :08:43.people who died in the air raids that took place dust prior to

:08:44. > :08:47.occupation, and then the inquest that took place afterwards. More

:08:48. > :08:52.than 150 records have been opened to the public for the first time. They

:08:53. > :08:57.include notes from those inquests. These give the details of the planes

:08:58. > :09:01.coming over. We can see members of the family having to go and identify

:09:02. > :09:04.the victims. We know those who died at the scene and those who were

:09:05. > :09:09.taken to hospital. It just adds a bit more information to what we

:09:10. > :09:14.already know. Some of the records have not been seen for over 100

:09:15. > :09:18.years. This is a petition by Frederick John Smith. He was

:09:19. > :09:22.sentenced to a year in prison for bigamy, but hey he asked if he can

:09:23. > :09:27.join the Army instead. The request was granted and he was sent to the

:09:28. > :09:32.front. They are just a fascinating history of Jersey socially,

:09:33. > :09:36.politically, but also they tell the stories of the people who live tape,

:09:37. > :09:40.and I think that is what we like to try and do at the archive. We want

:09:41. > :09:44.to bring history to life for people. The records are now open for the

:09:45. > :09:46.public to view, ensuring that Jersey's history is preserved for

:09:47. > :09:50.all its future generations. Bee Tucker has the weather

:09:51. > :10:03.for us this evening. It is certainly going to get colder.

:10:04. > :10:07.I think we could get a few wintry flurries, but the bulk of what we

:10:08. > :10:13.will see tomorrow is rain. It is going to be a cold day. Crucially

:10:14. > :10:17.the wind will be noticeable at even 50 mph gusting at times. Quiet at

:10:18. > :10:21.the moment. We have a north westerly airflow. Largely dry through the

:10:22. > :10:26.evening, and the weather system pushes them from the West in the

:10:27. > :10:30.early hours of tomorrow. Most of the precipitation will be rain, but

:10:31. > :10:34.there will be much colder air coming from behind, so anything falling out

:10:35. > :10:38.of the sky on Friday could be wintry. We will see some sunshine on

:10:39. > :10:43.Friday, but also some hail or sleet mixed in as well, but it should not

:10:44. > :10:46.be anything that will accumulate too much. We have had some sunshine

:10:47. > :10:51.across the islands today, more cloud feeding an over the last few hours,

:10:52. > :10:54.and through tonight we have got one or two showers remaining. A brief

:10:55. > :10:58.dry spell before they could cloud and further outbreaks of rain push

:10:59. > :11:03.in from the West and these could tempt heavy at times towards dawn.

:11:04. > :11:08.It will not be a bit sickly cold night with temperatures down to

:11:09. > :11:11.seven or 8 degrees. Tomorrow, the rain on and off through the morning,

:11:12. > :11:15.but by lunchtime most of us will have heavy downpours and it will

:11:16. > :11:19.turn increasingly wet through the afternoon. Heavy downpours, strong

:11:20. > :11:26.and gusty winds, which could cost up to 50 mph in some places. It will

:11:27. > :11:51.feel cold, getting down to around nine or 10 degrees.

:11:52. > :11:57.It does turn milder and less windy as we head across the weekend.

:11:58. > :12:05.That's it for now. I am back at 8pm. We'll meet the man behind the music

:12:06. > :12:14.on this children's TV favourite. A former dairy which has been

:12:15. > :12:17.derelict for almost a decade is about to be transformed

:12:18. > :12:19.into homes, businesses and leisure space providing jobs

:12:20. > :12:21.and affordable homes. Turning an old creamery into a space

:12:22. > :12:24.for the community has been dubbed a project by the people

:12:25. > :12:28.for the people. The Dairy Crest site

:12:29. > :12:31.in Totnes closed in 2007,
