:00:07. > :00:11.Plans to borrow hundreds of millions of pounds for Jersey's new hospital

:00:12. > :00:21.It is the biggest level of debt that has faced this island for many

:00:22. > :00:25.years. It is important that scrutiny and due process is followed for

:00:26. > :00:26.governance purposes and we have seen very recently what happens when

:00:27. > :00:27.governance fails. A stronger Britain in

:00:28. > :00:30.charge of it's own laws. But how will Brexit

:00:31. > :00:31.affect local businesses? And little chapel big costs but just

:00:32. > :00:37.how much to save one The plan to borrow hundreds

:00:38. > :00:49.of millions of pounds to pay for Jersey's new hospital has been

:00:50. > :00:57.thrown into question. Ministers want to fund

:00:58. > :01:00.the project by borrowing up But the plans haven't been reviewed

:01:01. > :01:07.by a scrutiny panel, who say they weren't

:01:08. > :01:09.given enough time. The question of where Jersey's

:01:10. > :01:14.new hospital should be has of course But today, the big question

:01:15. > :01:20.and the subject of lengthy debate The budget for the new

:01:21. > :01:30.hospital is ?466 million. Rather than funding it entirely

:01:31. > :01:33.through the Strategic Reserve, the so-called rainy-day fund,

:01:34. > :01:35.which currently stands The plan is to help pay for it

:01:36. > :01:42.by borrowing up to ?400 million. This would be the biggest debt ever

:01:43. > :01:45.taken on by the States. But the plans haven't been reviewed

:01:46. > :01:49.by the scrutiny panel, who say they weren't

:01:50. > :01:52.given enough time. The item that we're

:01:53. > :02:05.debating is so important. It is important is that scrutiny go

:02:06. > :02:11.through in the idea of Government. But the Treasury Minister says

:02:12. > :02:20.time was of the essence. Interest rates are predicted to move

:02:21. > :02:24.and every 0.1% increase could cost hundreds of thousands of pounds over

:02:25. > :02:26.a 40 year period. Equally, I do support the scrutiny

:02:27. > :02:29.process and it's regrettable that scrutiny weren't able to review

:02:30. > :02:31.this before now. But it's not just

:02:32. > :02:35.the lack of scrutiny. It's emerged in the past hour

:02:36. > :02:38.or so that the plans may not Under the law, The States

:02:39. > :02:41.can't borrow more than They've already borrowed

:02:42. > :02:44.millions for social housing, so 400-million more to pay

:02:45. > :02:46.for the hospital could However, there's confusion over

:02:47. > :02:51.whether the Long Term Care Benefit If it does, the the States

:02:52. > :02:59.taxation pot is bigger, so it could borrow enough to fund

:03:00. > :03:01.the new hospital. So the debate's on hold

:03:02. > :03:03.until tomorrow once the States More certainty and confidence,

:03:04. > :03:10.that s how one Jersey company is feeling following

:03:11. > :03:12.the Biritish Prime Theresa May has been

:03:13. > :03:15.answering questions today following her announcement

:03:16. > :03:17.that the UK will leave But there's still lots

:03:18. > :03:22.of negotiations on where the Channel Islands sit within these

:03:23. > :03:25.plans, as Emma Chambers has What I am proposing cannot mean

:03:26. > :03:33.membership of the single market. But it does mean more freedom

:03:34. > :03:36.to trade, or that's what the British Its unclear if that freedom

:03:37. > :03:40.will also be carried to the Channel Islands,

:03:41. > :03:43.who are also not in This is a typical example

:03:44. > :03:47.of a product where we have the bottle made in italy

:03:48. > :03:49.and shipped from there. The foil is in Germany and the label

:03:50. > :03:55.in the UK and the case Tim imports lots of

:03:56. > :03:59.goods from the EU. He's distilled yesterday's

:04:00. > :04:10.Brexit speech positively. He still has concerns and new trade

:04:11. > :04:13.deal could cost them more. Definitely. We've already seen the

:04:14. > :04:18.uncertainty of Brexit in the first place. Trade prices are in disarray

:04:19. > :04:24.and we have probably seen in the markets that food ingredients have

:04:25. > :04:31.raised by about five or 10%. We maybe don't know yet. As awhile

:04:32. > :04:34.before that filters through. Wallace to slightly clearer, whether Channel

:04:35. > :04:37.Islands set within these agreements have not been made.

:04:38. > :04:39.The most important thing for us is that we maintain our existing

:04:40. > :04:42.relationship with the UK and that's about the common travel area with

:04:43. > :04:47.the UK, its about the customs union with the UK and they are the most

:04:48. > :04:49.important things not only for individuals but right

:04:50. > :05:00.And it will be the local businesses like Tim's who will be listening

:05:01. > :05:03.closely to this to make sure all the imports in and out of the Channel

:05:04. > :05:10.Islands will be made smoothly in the future.

:05:11. > :05:12.A Jersey constable hopes that giving prisoners the chance to vote

:05:13. > :05:15.in island elections will mean they're more likely to integrate

:05:16. > :05:18.Len Norman's proposition was passed yesterday.

:05:19. > :05:22.Now prisoners who serve four years or less for their crimes will be

:05:23. > :05:27.The move will bring Jersey in line with most other European countries,

:05:28. > :05:32.except the UK where prisoners still don't have the right to vote.

:05:33. > :05:40.Going to prison is not just a matter of punishment, not just up matter of

:05:41. > :05:45.revenge, it is also rehabilitation and education. Hopefully those who

:05:46. > :05:49.are impacted by this we'll think about their place in society and

:05:50. > :05:51.think about whether they're going to vote or not.

:05:52. > :05:54.Concerns over funding for a new benefits system have been

:05:55. > :05:55.raised at a scrutiny hearing in Guernsey.

:05:56. > :05:58.Members of the Employment and Social Security Committee also

:05:59. > :06:00.faced questions on pension funds, family allowances and tax

:06:01. > :06:05.Its president says they're committed to the principle of universal

:06:06. > :06:10.benefits rather than means-testing, but admits there are doubts over

:06:11. > :06:15.how sustainable current funding models are.

:06:16. > :06:21.That all has to come. That all has to be paid for. We've only got a

:06:22. > :06:26.certain pot of money. We are under pressure to deliver more with that

:06:27. > :06:30.money, but actually we have got a declining pot of money. So for us as

:06:31. > :06:33.a committee, that is always the difficulty in getting that balance.

:06:34. > :06:35.Meanwhile, an independent report's found that Jersey's social

:06:36. > :06:37.security fund is healthy, with ?1.4 billion

:06:38. > :06:39.to meet the costs of future pensions and benefits.

:06:40. > :06:41.However the report written by the UK Government Actuary

:06:42. > :06:44.also concluded that these assets will gradually be used up

:06:45. > :06:49.But it said that action doesn't need to be taken

:06:50. > :07:01.Fundraisers are turning to the public in a desperate bid

:07:02. > :07:03.to save one of Guernsey's most popular tourist attractions.

:07:04. > :07:06.Structural work on the Little Chapel has revealed its condition is much

:07:07. > :07:08.worse than anyone thought, and the clock is ticking,

:07:09. > :07:12.as Mark Inchley has been finding out.

:07:13. > :07:14.In its prime it was one of Guernsey's hidden gems

:07:15. > :07:20.But now the race is on to save it and it's proving to be a bigger

:07:21. > :07:22.job than ever imagined, with restoration costs

:07:23. > :07:34.One side is on rock and one side is not. The tower was completely moving

:07:35. > :07:39.very very slowly down the hill. That was going to go. We had to start the

:07:40. > :07:40.work immediately or there would have been trouble.

:07:41. > :07:43.It had been hoped the roof could be saved,

:07:44. > :07:45.but that's now had to be removed and there's concern

:07:46. > :07:49.And that's why the group is appealing to islanders to help

:07:50. > :07:50.raise the ?500,000 needed, something they're

:07:51. > :07:56.We have had a wonderful coastline in Guernsey, I want of town, but also a

:07:57. > :08:01.wonderful centre. The valleys are wonderful. This little chapel

:08:02. > :08:04.sitting here all through the seasons is tremendous. This morning when you

:08:05. > :08:05.came with the moon sell-outs and a little bit dark, seeing this chapel

:08:06. > :08:09.going across the valley is lovely. But time isn't on their side

:08:10. > :08:12.and campaigners are hoping islanders will dig deep into their pockets

:08:13. > :08:15.to help save one of Guernsey's most Should learner drivers

:08:16. > :08:20.in the Channel Islands have to spend more time behind the wheel before

:08:21. > :08:22.taking their test? It's something that's

:08:23. > :08:24.being considered in the UK. And it's an idea that's got

:08:25. > :08:26.support locally too, So driving in Guernsey is pretty

:08:27. > :08:48.different to the UK. Although not without

:08:49. > :08:53.it's challenges. But pass your test here and you can

:08:54. > :08:57.nip over and be on those bigger, And wanting that to remain the case

:08:58. > :09:04.Guernsey tends to mimic the UK when it comes to

:09:05. > :09:12.things like driving tests. What is important is that although

:09:13. > :09:15.we pass our test in Guernsey in the Channel Islands we drive in the UK.

:09:16. > :09:19.Our test has to be rigid and can parable for other areas. -- can

:09:20. > :09:20.parable. So if plans in the UK go ahead,

:09:21. > :09:24.to make learners spend a minimum of a many as 120 hours behind

:09:25. > :09:27.the wheel before taking their test. This local instructor thinks

:09:28. > :09:42.there'd be merit in the idea. You know, having a certain amount of

:09:43. > :09:46.hours to do before they do their test is a really good idea. Some

:09:47. > :09:51.people passed their test very quickly and I think it leaves them

:09:52. > :09:56.open to danger on the roads with not enough knowledge, just being taught

:09:57. > :09:59.how to do a test. That is one thing, but being able to drive properly and

:10:00. > :10:05.have the skills to react well is another thing. In reality of

:10:06. > :10:09.Guernsey does not want full behind and the UK decides more practice is

:10:10. > :10:11.what learners need, then Guernsey might have to consider going for it,

:10:12. > :10:14.too. Well, my boiler is certainly

:10:15. > :10:17.burning the oil as the cold But will we be scraping the wind

:10:18. > :10:32.screens in the morning? And they get well. Another frost

:10:33. > :10:35.overnight. The figure might help these temperatures go above freezing

:10:36. > :10:43.is a keen wind and easterly wind. It will remain with us overnight. It

:10:44. > :10:47.will remain with us. Lovely sunrises and sunsets. This was an rise across

:10:48. > :10:51.Guernsey which was taken by Chris, one of our weather watchers and fine

:10:52. > :10:55.weather continues. Dry tomorrow, plenty of sunshine, but that cold

:10:56. > :11:00.wind means you really will need to wrap up properly. There is not a

:11:01. > :11:03.great deal of change. High pressure. Southern area of high pressure

:11:04. > :11:07.across Central parts of Britain. That will not move too far away at

:11:08. > :11:10.the moment. The easterly winds continuing, very similar picture

:11:11. > :11:17.tomorrow. Not a great deal of change. Showers may be moving

:11:18. > :11:21.through the English Channel and they will mainly Saint to the north of

:11:22. > :11:24.us. Great deal of clear sky means that the temperatures falling and

:11:25. > :11:30.will continue to drop and we will see some frost on the grass and the

:11:31. > :11:35.Greens tomorrow morning. Temperatures around zero or plus

:11:36. > :11:39.one. Cold enough for most of us first thing tomorrow morning.

:11:40. > :11:43.Tomorrow is a lovely day until you get outside and just realise how

:11:44. > :11:52.cold it feels that Britain is silly wind is not there to help either.

:11:53. > :12:02.Six or 7 degrees, but because -- feel how cold is that Windows. There

:12:03. > :12:06.is not much because the beaches will be flat. The coastal waters forecast

:12:07. > :12:12.Eastern or suitably five but occasionally six. Fair with good

:12:13. > :12:15.visibility. Friday, there is a bit more cloud around. The same kind of

:12:16. > :12:22.setup. Slightly less windy on Friday. Not any warmer, five or 6

:12:23. > :12:27.degrees. This dry spell of fine cold weather continues.

:12:28. > :12:35.I'm dreading those winter bills coming in. The plan to borrow

:12:36. > :12:39.hundreds of billions of pounds to pay for Jersey's new hospital has

:12:40. > :12:45.been thrown into question. They want to borrow up to ?400 million in the

:12:46. > :12:46.plans had not been reviewed as yet. We'll be back at eight o'clock this

:12:47. > :13:02.evening to them. 17,500 fans are expected

:13:03. > :13:12.to be here at Home Park tonight for the game -

:13:13. > :13:15.many of them have made it already. But there are many many

:13:16. > :13:17.more who won't be here - some of them are in far flung

:13:18. > :13:20.corners of the world. I've tracked a few of them down -

:13:21. > :13:23.from Afghanistan to the USA to Australia and New Zealand -

:13:24. > :13:46.all members of the I will be watching in Kaboul,

:13:47. > :13:52.Afghanistan. I'm from Perth Western Australia, here is my mum Sue and my

:13:53. > :13:58.dad Mike, and we are all going to be watching the game against Liverpool

:13:59. > :14:05.on Monday morning at 3:45am. I'm Claire and this is Kevin and we will

:14:06. > :14:14.be watching from the beautiful island in Honduras. I'm going to be

:14:15. > :14:23.watching from Mick Ugen USA. My name's Andy Soper, I'm calling from

:14:24. > :14:30.New Zealand. I'll be watching from 5am tomorrow morning. I'm very

:14:31. > :14:37.passionate with the North Argyll. I'd rather be there in real life.

:14:38. > :14:42.He's the reason I'm so Argyll mad. He took me when I was seven and it

:14:43. > :14:49.has carried on from them. How does it feel to be so far away from the

:14:50. > :14:54.big game? It's so frustrating. One of the best feelings is to look at

:14:55. > :14:59.the app on my mobile phone and to see the next game is Liverpool

:15:00. > :15:05.against Plymouth Argyle. I've considered flying home on a couple

:15:06. > :15:11.of occasions. Unfortunately, losing at Wembley. I was never able to make

:15:12. > :15:16.it. It's a great thing that they are airing on screen here. Not only one

:15:17. > :15:22.game, but two, and maybe three if they beat Liverpool. I've told my

:15:23. > :15:27.mates that I won't be at golf because this is far more important.

:15:28. > :15:33.Did you watch the first game at Anfield? We were on the edge of our

:15:34. > :15:38.seats. They took so much pressure in the second half but they worse

:15:39. > :15:43.magnificent. Were hoping for more of the same on Wednesday. We had a

:15:44. > :15:47.slight problem with the electric for the last five or six minutes so we

:15:48. > :15:53.didn't know the result until it came back on again. The one thing I miss

:15:54. > :16:00.more than anything is the trip from hail up to Argyll. I would eat my

:16:01. > :16:07.pasty, watch the game with my mates. Block three, C 92. It's a close

:16:08. > :16:14.game, really exciting. At 3:45am, it's hard work. It will be a mid

:16:15. > :16:17.afternoon kick-off for me with the time difference. Everything will be

:16:18. > :16:28.on hold for me. Albee watching the game, really excited. Albee back in

:16:29. > :16:38.a few weeks. I'll be home for the next round match. Can they do it?

:16:39. > :16:43.Come on, Argyll! Such lovely people and it was fantastic to talk to them

:16:44. > :16:48.all. If you are watching the match anywhere unusual, take a picture and

:16:49. > :16:53.post it on our Facebook page. Keep it clean though.

:16:54. > :16:55.Now let's see now how the managers are feeling.

:16:56. > :16:58.The superstars landed in Devon this morning,

:16:59. > :17:03.But how many of their big name players will be

:17:04. > :17:07.In the first match, three players who cost Liverpool more

:17:08. > :17:10.than ?60 million pounds between them,

:17:11. > :17:13.were brought on to try and break the deadlock - to no avail.

:17:14. > :17:15.The manager has no regrets, but there's a big hint

:17:16. > :17:26.We want to win the game and go to the next round. So, you will see it.

:17:27. > :17:33.Probably, it will be different to the team that we had in the first

:17:34. > :17:35.game. But that's not 100% sure. Have to wait a little bit.

:17:36. > :17:39.His opposite number has a much more simplistic approach.

:17:40. > :17:46.You've got to go and enjoy the match. It's just another game. A

:17:47. > :17:51.very good spectacle for everybody in the city but as a footballer, it's

:17:52. > :17:54.11 against 11 on the park and you never know what can happen. Well

:17:55. > :17:57.said, Derek Adams. Did you know that here in Plymouth,

:17:58. > :18:02.Liverpool fans have a meeting place where they can go and

:18:03. > :18:04.enjoy games together? It's Porters on the Barbican

:18:05. > :18:07.and tonight it's welcoming new visitors who've made the trip

:18:08. > :18:09.from Merseyside and have stopped off there for a pasty before

:18:10. > :18:12.they come here to Home Park. Hamish Marshall has

:18:13. > :18:21.been to meet them. The atmosphere is building here. The

:18:22. > :18:26.flag says it all. This is where the Liverpool fans of Plymouth com to

:18:27. > :18:31.watch the match. Some of them are able to get to home Park tonight.

:18:32. > :18:40.Steve, you're the landlord. How big is this? Over the last two seasons

:18:41. > :18:46.it has built and built. Whatever game is on, we have a great time.

:18:47. > :18:52.They are nice people. You've been out of Liverpool for a while but you

:18:53. > :18:58.are still a fan. I've been here 42 years. Supporters do a fantastic

:18:59. > :19:05.job. It's a home from home. How's it going to go tonight? I firmly

:19:06. > :19:09.believe it should be 3- 02. But Argyll did really well. I'm really

:19:10. > :19:15.pleased that they got the money for the replay but I honestly think that

:19:16. > :19:21.we'll win 3-0. Scott, what do you think will happen tonight? Any win

:19:22. > :19:28.is fine by me. I know a lot of locals and if they win, I won't hear

:19:29. > :19:33.the end of it. How nice would be to get home before midnight? It's

:19:34. > :19:41.brilliant. Normally, I wouldn't be home before midnight. Tonight, taxi

:19:42. > :19:45.home, five minutes. It's brilliant. I'm just heading up to home Park to

:19:46. > :19:52.join you up there. But those here in the pub are going to have a

:19:53. > :19:57.brilliant time. It sounds fantastic. There are loads of famous people

:19:58. > :20:04.here. I've seen Steven Gerrard, Neil Warnock. I've got some more famous

:20:05. > :20:10.people. John Houston. You are here to work for five live. Did you

:20:11. > :20:16.expect to be here for the replay? I don't think any others expected to

:20:17. > :20:21.be here. I have to say, you've deserved the right to be here. A

:20:22. > :20:25.wonderful defensive display from Plymouth. Derek Adam Scott his

:20:26. > :20:31.tactics spot on. Financially, they will be in a better place for the

:20:32. > :20:37.replay. I feel it will push them on. League 2, second at the minute, this

:20:38. > :20:44.is a fantastic boost for the club. Great atmosphere, isn't it? It's

:20:45. > :20:49.brilliant. A pleasure to be here. Not only the Argyle fans. The

:20:50. > :20:54.Liverpool fans. People have spent a whole day coming here tonight and it

:20:55. > :20:57.is a big game for both clubs but it is huge for Plymouth. They deserve

:20:58. > :21:09.it. They've worked so hard to get here. Ryan, you are injured. Are you

:21:10. > :21:13.gutted to be missing it? I am gutted. But I'm pleased to be here

:21:14. > :21:20.watching and involved in the club today. You are both summarising for

:21:21. > :21:26.radio Devon. Are you looking forward to it? I've done it all season and

:21:27. > :21:34.it's been really good, keeping my mind close to the team. He's had a

:21:35. > :21:40.blinder every game. Don't get used to the radio, we need you back,

:21:41. > :21:47.pitch. John, who do you think is going to do it tonight? The FA Cup

:21:48. > :21:52.is stoked traditionally with shocks and upsets. It can happen. You saw

:21:53. > :21:58.Lincoln knockout Ipswich last night. Already, six Premier League clubs

:21:59. > :22:02.have gone out. It can happen. You have got to dream. I think Liverpool
