:00:00. > :00:00.Good evening I'm Charlie McArdle, welcome to BBC Channel Islands.
:00:00. > :00:08.These are Tuesday's headlines: Public pressure
:00:09. > :00:11.following innovation fund fiasco - A tearful Senator Ozouf offers to
:00:12. > :00:26.ask you to be glad for now we are rid of a minister who has been such
:00:27. > :00:28.a liability to this island. ?3 million shortfall for Guernsey's
:00:29. > :00:30.new waste management facility. And there's been an increase
:00:31. > :00:33.in the number of people with mental health issues being held
:00:34. > :00:45.in police cells. I worked fine but cold weather
:00:46. > :00:50.continues, no sign of any arena for the next few days. All the details
:00:51. > :00:52.later in the programme. -- no sign of any rain.
:00:53. > :00:55.A tearful Senator Philip Ozouf offered to resign from his role
:00:56. > :00:58.as assistant Chief Minister today over losses to the Innovation Fund.
:00:59. > :01:04.It was set up to support new business ideas but potentially
:01:05. > :01:14.lost one point ?4 million of public money.
:01:15. > :01:17.Although Senator Ozouf didn't set up the scheme,
:01:18. > :01:20.he has been legally responsible for it for the last year.
:01:21. > :01:23.There were calls outside the States meeting today for him to see out
:01:24. > :01:29.Over a hundred protesters gathered in Royal Square this afternoon
:01:30. > :01:32.to show they'd no confidence in Senator Philip Ozouf.
:01:33. > :01:35.Their anger was also directed at the Chief Minister who they've
:01:36. > :01:41.The public perception is that the Chief Minister is very
:01:42. > :01:46.So it may be that the Innovation Fund is small money compared to some
:01:47. > :01:48.of the other problems that they may not know about.
:01:49. > :01:50.And the anger wasn't just outside, with policians also
:01:51. > :01:54.We have a States Chamber that is completely
:01:55. > :01:59.They don't know how the people in this square feel because these
:02:00. > :02:02.are ordinary islandners who represent everybody
:02:03. > :02:06.on the island in terms of their views, their values
:02:07. > :02:08.and what they want to see from government.
:02:09. > :02:10.The people in that States assembly simply don't understand how
:02:11. > :02:14.But the man at the centre of this protest wouldn't face the public
:02:15. > :02:16.and offered to resign behind closed doors.
:02:17. > :02:18.He says he believes he's done the right thing
:02:19. > :02:36.I shall be writing to the Chief Minister offering to step aside.
:02:37. > :02:39.The Chief Minister was also avoiding questions.
:02:40. > :02:43.I shall be making a statement to the assembly.
:02:44. > :02:47.had enough of Senator Ozouf, the Chief Minister says there
:02:48. > :02:59.is a role for governments to get involved in promoting innovation.
:03:00. > :03:05.He went on to say that is a role for Government to get involved in
:03:06. > :03:07.promoting innovation but the state must learn from mistakes made in
:03:08. > :03:10.handling the innovation plan. Guernsey shouldn't become a slave
:03:11. > :03:12.to it's recycling targets That's the stark message form
:03:13. > :03:17.Deputy Peter Roffey ahead of a debate aimed at freeing up
:03:18. > :03:20.almost ?3 million to meet a shortfall in funds
:03:21. > :03:24.for the new waste management Guernsey has certainly embraced
:03:25. > :03:35.the recycling message. But there's still more to be
:03:36. > :03:37.done if targets of 70% That's the ultimate aim,
:03:38. > :03:43.and a government debate next week could launch the island
:03:44. > :03:47.into a new era of waste management. But costs have gone up
:03:48. > :03:53.since the strategy was originally and now the States are being asked
:03:54. > :03:57.to free up the extra funds needed. I think that the figures originally
:03:58. > :04:00.put forward to persuade the States to go down this route
:04:01. > :04:02.were wildly inaccurate. It's almost irrelevant
:04:03. > :04:03.now, isn't it? We've got a tip that will be filled
:04:04. > :04:06.some time next year, there is no other plan B
:04:07. > :04:09.on the table, we've got to export, we've got to say, "Sweden,
:04:10. > :04:12.we didn't want to burn our waste, "so will you burn it
:04:13. > :04:14.for us instead'. I'm going to vote for that
:04:15. > :04:17.with a very heavy heart, but that doesn't mean I'm
:04:18. > :04:20.going to accept all of Kerbside collections are set
:04:21. > :04:26.to cost ?2 million a year, and Deputy Roffey feels the island
:04:27. > :04:29.shouldn't simply plough on with recycling targets
:04:30. > :04:32.regardless of cost. But, time for talking
:04:33. > :04:34.is running out. What we need clearly
:04:35. > :04:36.is a decision. We've done a certain thing
:04:37. > :04:42.for a very long time. We've done something that's cheap,
:04:43. > :04:44.it's dirty, environmentally it's unfriendly and we need to stop doing
:04:45. > :04:47.it, so States members need to coalesce solidly around a vote
:04:48. > :04:53.in favour of waste export. Each time the sun sets
:04:54. > :04:56.on Mont Cuet, the island moves Any more delays, however well
:04:57. > :05:00.intended, could cost time Roisin Gauson, BBC Channel
:05:01. > :05:07.Islands News, Guernsey. There's been an increase
:05:08. > :05:11.in the number of people with mental health issues being held
:05:12. > :05:13.in cells at Jersey police station. Last year 72 people were detained -
:05:14. > :05:18.that's up from 67 the year before. It comes as a report
:05:19. > :05:20.by the Jersey Police authority that says cells should not be
:05:21. > :05:23.considered a place of safety. We are going to illegally who is
:05:24. > :05:44.expressing suicidal ideas. A mental health nurse accompanies
:05:45. > :05:46.a police officer on a call-out. Sussex police are one of several
:05:47. > :05:49.forces who have trialled this It led to a big drop in the number
:05:50. > :06:06.of people with mental health issues Mental health is very much an area
:06:07. > :06:10.where there are lots of different practices being tested around the
:06:11. > :06:13.British Isles and we are looking at Best practice and aiming to provide
:06:14. > :06:21.the best possible service we can to our community. Last year officers
:06:22. > :06:23.were called out to 105 calls relating to mental health issues and
:06:24. > :06:29.there are concerns about the pressure it is placing on resources.
:06:30. > :06:31.In a report released by the police authority they see the level of
:06:32. > :06:36.demand on police from people suffering from mental health issues
:06:37. > :06:41.continues to be a source of concern and while they recognise the
:06:42. > :06:46.importance of the role officers they believe police cells should not be
:06:47. > :06:50.considered a place of safety. They have assured us when the new
:06:51. > :06:55.hospital is built there will be a proper suites are available for
:06:56. > :06:58.mental health conditions and of course the provision will be much
:06:59. > :07:02.improved when the police move to the new police headquarters in March
:07:03. > :07:07.this year. With the new hospital at least six years away a short-term
:07:08. > :07:11.solution not involving police cells still needs to be found.
:07:12. > :07:15.Guernsey's Health and Social Care Committee is looking
:07:16. > :07:18.to "focus on the future, not the past" after it released
:07:19. > :07:20.the findings of the final visit by the
:07:21. > :07:24.It concluded there have been significant improvements
:07:25. > :07:28.in organisational culture and better leadership.
:07:29. > :07:31.It follows a damning report two years ago
:07:32. > :07:37.The President of the Health and Social Care Committee is keen
:07:38. > :07:49.There has been a lot of investment put in the past two years, money
:07:50. > :07:55.does not mean everything behind that has been a sea change in how
:07:56. > :07:59.services are provided and would say this is safe environment for patents
:08:00. > :08:06.to have their babies. And I'm really proud of what the staff of time to
:08:07. > :08:08.get us to place we are today. -- what the staff have done.
:08:09. > :08:10.The Channel Islands could have a new airline.
:08:11. > :08:12.It's called Waves and will be leasing a fleet of these
:08:13. > :08:15.It's hoping to be in operation this summer.
:08:16. > :08:18.The company will run up to four services an hour between the islands
:08:19. > :08:21.at a cost of between ?45 and ?75 for a single leg.
:08:22. > :08:24.Its boss says he hopes it'll be an "alternative" rather
:08:25. > :08:30.than a "competitor" to other airlines.
:08:31. > :08:39.We are completely driven by our technology backbone and that
:08:40. > :08:44.technology enables islanders to book and fly in the most convenient and
:08:45. > :08:48.easy and cost efficient way possible. It is an alternative to
:08:49. > :08:52.the existing airlines which are currently offering services.
:08:53. > :08:54.Guernsey's tennis star Heather Watson has made it
:08:55. > :08:56.through to the second round of the Australian Open.
:08:57. > :08:58.Watson didn't drop a game in the third set, beating
:08:59. > :09:00.Australian and eighteenth seed Sam Stosur
:09:01. > :09:06.She's next in action in a few hours' time in the doubles.
:09:07. > :09:08.Heather is one of several British players who have
:09:09. > :09:13.And Heather says it really spurs her on.
:09:14. > :09:22.For me, it really motivates me when I see it but on day one and then I
:09:23. > :09:29.followed Jerry's match on that court. I think it is great and I use
:09:30. > :09:32.it to push myself along. And try and keep up with them all now. -- when I
:09:33. > :09:34.followed Joe's match. The temperature has dropped
:09:35. > :09:36.but a least we can be thankful it's dry for the time being,
:09:37. > :09:48.or am I speaking too soon, It is certainly a bright story,
:09:49. > :09:54.perhaps too drive for those in the fields and the gardens -- to drive.
:09:55. > :09:59.A lot of cold weather coming in from the east. Cold and ride tomorrow and
:10:00. > :10:05.some overnight frost but also sunshine. Why is it dry and cold?
:10:06. > :10:13.Because of this area of pressure, high pressure. It moves around a bit
:10:14. > :10:16.over the next 24 hours, this -- tracking steadily westwards. We are
:10:17. > :10:22.clear of that cloud in the south-west of England. By the middle
:10:23. > :10:26.of the day on Thursday the same area of high pressure is still giving us
:10:27. > :10:35.easterly winds. Those winds coming from quite a cold correction, where
:10:36. > :10:40.temperatures are startling -- called direction, such as France. We will
:10:41. > :10:48.see a frost overnight, inland temperatures around zero. Disturbing
:10:49. > :10:54.winds which means the raw feeling day, -- easterly winds. It is a
:10:55. > :11:05.called Mike datamodel, a bit more of a breeze and quite a cold day. -- it
:11:06. > :11:14.will be called Mike datamodel. Here are the times of high water. The
:11:15. > :11:22.coastal waters forecast has the winds used by north-easterly four,
:11:23. > :11:28.occasionally five. This is the outward. More cloud into the weekend
:11:29. > :11:34.but the temperatures do not get above six Celsius. A bit more cloud
:11:35. > :11:38.on Thursday and Friday, Saturday generally rather cloudy and quite
:11:39. > :11:47.cold. If you're heading to France and across into Belgium temperatures
:11:48. > :11:54.just a few degrees above freezing. Our top story, tearful senator
:11:55. > :11:59.resigned from the States to over potential losses of ?1.4 million
:12:00. > :12:06.from innovation fund. Join us again and 30 PM. Why for now.
:12:07. > :12:06.especially when your child is learning difficulties. -- when your
:12:07. > :12:16.child has learning difficulties. A Devon man is taking his campaign
:12:17. > :12:19.about living with dementia Norman McNamara has made the film,
:12:20. > :12:23.Norrms, to raise awareness and show how people with dementia can
:12:24. > :12:26.still live happy lives. It will be shown at
:12:27. > :12:28.the Sundance Festival in Utah. Diagnosed with dementia in his 50s,
:12:29. > :12:37.Norma McNamara was horrified at how little people knew
:12:38. > :12:38.about the condition. He started the Purple Angel
:12:39. > :12:41.campaign and even canvassed It started with a Memory Cafe
:12:42. > :12:54.and local shops signing up Now, there are ambassadors
:12:55. > :12:57.worldwide in more than There are films out there
:12:58. > :13:03.and to be honest, they are Because to be honest,
:13:04. > :13:07.it always shows the bad side, and of course there is a bad
:13:08. > :13:10.side to dementia, there But we wanted to show the positive
:13:11. > :13:14.side and how there is life And also how people can actually
:13:15. > :13:18.live a good life after Norman's partner Elaine has
:13:19. > :13:22.seen good times as well She's seen how making this
:13:23. > :13:25.film has helped him. It helps because it
:13:26. > :13:27.keeps his brain active. It has got something for him to do
:13:28. > :13:30.and you're not thinking about what's wrong with you, but
:13:31. > :13:34.about other people. And when we set off with the Torbay
:13:35. > :13:40.Dementia Action Alliance, we have the Memory Cafe,
:13:41. > :13:42.but the idea was if we can dementia and their carer,
:13:43. > :13:46.that was job done. Norrms was filmed both
:13:47. > :13:52.here and in the USA. I was probably one of the first
:13:53. > :13:55.Dementia Angels, Purple Angel The second or third,
:13:56. > :14:00.maybe the first, I don't know. I interviewed Norman,
:14:01. > :14:06.I was running an online talk show called The Dementia Project
:14:07. > :14:12.and I had Norman on as a guest. But it all came together
:14:13. > :14:18.and the Purple Angel started and it's amazing
:14:19. > :14:21.what the man has done. As part of the campaign,
:14:22. > :14:25.many hospitals in the US now give patients a Purple Angel wristband,
:14:26. > :14:28.so when they go missing, people know This is not about labelling
:14:29. > :14:31.people or showing people up or putting them
:14:32. > :14:33.in a box, but helping them. We love the NHS, especially
:14:34. > :14:36.in Torbay and we will carry on knocking at that door
:14:37. > :14:39.and they'll say yes, hopefully. Although not officially
:14:40. > :14:41.sanctioned by some dementia bodies, the Purple Angel
:14:42. > :14:44.campaign is huge, with thousands of Norman hopes the film
:14:45. > :14:47.will spread Now swimming outdoors probably isn't
:14:48. > :15:00.high on your agenda in January, but for some people,
:15:01. > :15:02.including our next guest, Pauline Barker is an ice
:15:03. > :15:05.swimmer and later this week is leading a team out to Poland
:15:06. > :15:21.for a rather chilly competition. Welcome to Spotlight. Why do you
:15:22. > :15:27.want to swim in icy cold water? Ones used to date, it is quite pleasant.
:15:28. > :15:30.Getting in is the hard part, but the camaraderie of the event and once
:15:31. > :15:35.you're there, you end up with a smile on your face. We have photos
:15:36. > :15:39.from the event last year in Poland, with the temperature at minus 17.
:15:40. > :15:45.Tell us a bit about the competition are what you have to do in these
:15:46. > :15:52.conditions? It was about minus 17. This year it will be a little bit
:15:53. > :15:58.warmer, minus nine. , Easier than! The water will be about two degrees.
:15:59. > :16:02.For the main event, it is a one kilometres event, the longest swim
:16:03. > :16:07.but we do. There are also shorter events of 100 metres and 250 metres
:16:08. > :16:13.for those who don't want to go the full kilometre. You did well last
:16:14. > :16:21.year, didn't you? Yes, I won the 500 metre event. That took about 12
:16:22. > :16:24.minutes. There's a serious side though, isn't there? We all know the
:16:25. > :16:29.shock bodies can go into an exposed to cold water and people even die
:16:30. > :16:34.from hypothermia. So, how do you adapt to the bitterly cold
:16:35. > :16:39.temperatures? How do you prepare? Folk cold water swimmers, we to
:16:40. > :16:44.acclimatise. When we first start-up we tell people to state in the water
:16:45. > :16:48.for one minute for every degree of temperature. 10 degrees for ten
:16:49. > :16:52.minutes and so on. You can stay in for longer and longer as you get
:16:53. > :16:56.used to it. The trick is not just the swimming, but how you recover
:16:57. > :17:04.afterwards. We should point to anyone wearing a wet suit, are you?
:17:05. > :17:09.Just a normal swimming costume. No wet suits, no hats and gloves, just
:17:10. > :17:19.a swimming costume. This is very different to your day job, isn't it?
:17:20. > :17:27.Yes, I work in a bank. So my spare time IIS swimmer. I've always been a
:17:28. > :17:32.swimmer and I swim -- swum the channel and I had to learn how to
:17:33. > :17:37.acclimatise to the cold vendor. It is becoming quite popular is wild
:17:38. > :17:42.swimming, in the south-west. Is it good place to train? The best place
:17:43. > :17:48.to train for this sort of thing. There were lots of wild swimmers in
:17:49. > :17:52.and Cornwall. I run a group. It is a social group and there are 7000
:17:53. > :17:58.people in that group watching it, swimming with others and it happens
:17:59. > :18:03.all over Devon and Cornwall. People should take an organised group,
:18:04. > :18:09.shouldn't they? Yes, it's always safer to swimming company. There is
:18:10. > :18:16.guidance on the website. -- to swim in the company. Swimmer with
:18:17. > :18:23.friends, it is not just compatible, but safer. Good look in Poland.
:18:24. > :18:24.Rather you dummy! -- a rather you than me!

:21:42. > :21:51.a balloon. One just read, you are agreed. Where does your loyalty lie
:21:52. > :21:54.for this game? I was born and bred in Liverpool, but I have lived in
:21:55. > :22:00.Plymouth a long time and I will sit on the fence. You are a cult hero
:22:01. > :22:07.here at home Park. What was it about this place the majors so successful
:22:08. > :22:15.do you think? After the initial few games, the fans took to me and like
:22:16. > :22:23.most strikers that can score goals, you become a bit of a cult hero and
:22:24. > :22:26.you can go to Liverpool, they've all got goal-scorers, but every year, I

:22:32. > :22:34.playing well and scoring goals, it became one of those things. The fans
:22:35. > :22:39.seemed to like me and it's been like that ever since. Your star was a lot

:23:43. > :23:47.so well at Anfield and got the right result. If they keep without defence
:23:48. > :23:49.and create chances, anything can happen. It has happened before and
:23:50. > :23:53.it will happen again. BBC Radio Devon will have

:24:37. > :24:43.Try and light winds. A quiet week. Not much rain. Not much sun either.
:24:44. > :24:49.More of a chance to see spells of sunshine tomorrow. Across the
:24:50. > :24:54.Channel, there's a good deal of clear sky. That will merge further
:24:55. > :25:00.north overnight tonight. There's a weather front is the cloud we now
:25:01. > :25:07.have. Is moving to the north of those tomorrow. It's allowing
:25:08. > :25:10.clearer skies to develop. Belly comes back down on into Friday. --

:26:01. > :26:05.been a lot of hill folk. It doesn't make for much of an atmospheric

:26:42. > :26:47.clear, there will be frost with temperatures of -1 possibly. Some of
:26:48. > :26:51.brighter sky and clearer weather will drift along south coast. Here
