:00:11. > :00:23.God help this could be a serious incident that is yet to be fully
:00:24. > :00:23.reported. Could parking wars be the cause
:00:24. > :00:32.of thousands of pounds' My friends are scared to park by my
:00:33. > :00:35.house, like I am always the one to go and get them, I have to park
:00:36. > :00:35.further away. because of poor pilot
:00:36. > :00:48.decision-making. Channel Island authorities say
:00:49. > :00:50.there's no risk to residents following an explosion
:00:51. > :00:52.at a nuclear power plant The blast at Flamanville in Normandy
:00:53. > :00:56.was caused by a fire. Five people were treated,
:00:57. > :01:00.but there were no serious injuries, and French officials say there's
:01:01. > :01:04.no danger of a radiation leak. Just before ten o'clock,
:01:05. > :01:12.an explosion was caused by a fire in a machine room where seven
:01:13. > :01:17.people were working. Five workers needed treatment for
:01:18. > :01:24.breathing in smoke. The plant owners, EDF,
:01:25. > :01:26.said emergency services contained the fire quickly
:01:27. > :01:28.and the generator was disconnected from the electricity
:01:29. > :01:29.grid soon afterwards. Flamanville is around 20 miles
:01:30. > :01:31.from the Channel Islands. While the islands aren't
:01:32. > :01:34.within the official risk zone, they're close enough
:01:35. > :01:35.for the authorities to have measures in place
:01:36. > :01:45.in event of any disaster. But with the internet and social
:01:46. > :01:47.media, this news emerged from French media sources long before any
:01:48. > :01:51.official word from Jersey or Guernsey governments. A fire officer
:01:52. > :01:53.involved think that should change. the information we put out
:01:54. > :01:58.is correct, obviously. There's lots of info
:01:59. > :02:00.in the public arena, so one of the lessons from today
:02:01. > :02:04.is having set messages of reassurance we can put out,
:02:05. > :02:07.as opposed to just messages of what to do if there
:02:08. > :02:09.was an incident. And he says if today
:02:10. > :02:11.had been more serious, islanders would have been
:02:12. > :02:14.warned to stay indoors. But there are no plans to give out
:02:15. > :02:16.protective iodine tablets, which people living around
:02:17. > :02:20.Flamanville get. They are of limited use,
:02:21. > :02:23.they are in certain situations, we're not in the zone
:02:24. > :02:25.that requires iodine tablets, but clearly we have
:02:26. > :02:27.the contingencies in place and people will be informed
:02:28. > :02:32.of the right thing to do On a clear day,
:02:33. > :02:39.you can see the power station from here on the northeast coast
:02:40. > :02:41.of Jersey. And of course
:02:42. > :02:44.it's even closer from Alderney. And while authorities say
:02:45. > :02:46.today's explosion thankfully it's a reminder of the importance
:02:47. > :02:51.of having emergency plans in place and just how close
:02:52. > :02:59.the Channel Islands are to any risk. Although islanders are being
:03:00. > :03:02.reassured there's no radiation leak, Flamanville is already at the centre
:03:03. > :03:04.of a deep controversy in France over the future
:03:05. > :03:06.of its nuclear industry and the degree to which
:03:07. > :03:10.its engineering can be trusted. I've been speaking to
:03:11. > :03:14.nuclear consultant John Large, who told me what he made
:03:15. > :03:28.of today's events. Well, there's not information the
:03:29. > :03:32.McAnuff information coming out, we don't know how serious it is and
:03:33. > :03:36.whether it affects the nuclear part of the plant. But generally the
:03:37. > :03:42.history of nuclear accidents has shown, from Windscale in the 1950s,
:03:43. > :03:45.through to Chernobyl, and most recently Fukushima in Japan, is that
:03:46. > :03:49.generally the authorities play down the nuclear aspects at the very
:03:50. > :03:53.beginning of the incident. And the truth and the fact of the matter
:03:54. > :04:04.only come out later. This could be a is you is incident that is yet to be
:04:05. > :04:08.fully reported. -- a serious incident. The plans have to be very
:04:09. > :04:12.comprehensive, they have to cater for the rest of the accident and the
:04:13. > :04:16.scale of the accident, of any radioactive fallout. So that beans
:04:17. > :04:23.you have to have an information channel established with the French
:04:24. > :04:28.operator and authorities. -- so that means. So that as the accident
:04:29. > :04:32.develops, and if there is a radioactive plume, as that
:04:33. > :04:35.approaches, you need a very comprehensive integrated system that
:04:36. > :04:42.takes account of the weather, the atmospheric stability, and what
:04:43. > :04:46.measures you have in place on the island to actually mitigate and
:04:47. > :04:50.countermeasure against a radiation explosion. It is a quite complex
:04:51. > :04:54.system that needs to be modelled and put in place. Knowing what you know,
:04:55. > :05:01.would you be happy to live in the Channel Islands? I always dodge
:05:02. > :05:06.answering that question! The Channel Islands are a delightful place, I'd
:05:07. > :05:11.be happy to live there. Any man-made enterprise or venture has risk, and
:05:12. > :05:17.it is whether the people of the Channel Islands wants to live
:05:18. > :05:21.without risk. If they are properly informed, and not given the line but
:05:22. > :05:25.properly informed about the risk, then they can make the decision.
:05:26. > :05:26.Residents in a St Helier neighbourhood have
:05:27. > :05:28.told the BBC they're scared to park their cars
:05:29. > :05:30.outside their homes following a campaign of vandalism.
:05:31. > :05:32.?10,000 worth of damage has been caused
:05:33. > :05:34.to dozens of cars since October last year.
:05:35. > :05:36.And Jersey Police believe those responsible
:05:37. > :05:38.might be angry at parking issues in the area.
:05:39. > :05:47.The 18-year-old student was very proud of her Citroen.
:05:48. > :05:53.by someone with a strong grip on a set of keys.
:05:54. > :05:55.One day, it just started getting keyed.
:05:56. > :05:59.I don't know why, but I've got over 12 scratches,
:06:00. > :06:01.like key marks on my car, on every surface.
:06:02. > :06:04.My friends are scared to come up and park by my house,
:06:05. > :06:06.I'm always the one to go and get them,
:06:07. > :06:08.or they have to park quite far away
:06:09. > :06:13.of getting their nice cars damaged or anything.
:06:14. > :06:18.And Molly's not the only person to have been affected in this area.
:06:19. > :06:20.I spoke to one woman on this street who told me
:06:21. > :06:24.her son's car was damaged, costing around ?400 to fix.
:06:25. > :06:28.And another woman told me she damaged her own car
:06:29. > :06:32.by trying to avoid a car that was illegally parked.
:06:33. > :06:34.And these are the issues causing tension.
:06:35. > :06:37.It's quite spread out, so we have four or five
:06:38. > :06:42.which makes it quite difficult to identify exactly what's happening.
:06:43. > :06:45.What we're asking people to do is take a calm approach
:06:46. > :06:48.to perhaps a vehicle that they find in front of their house,
:06:49. > :06:52.or in front of a friend's or neighbour's vehicle.
:06:53. > :06:57.But then for that community and those people to keep a look out.
:06:58. > :07:01.because of the way the offences are spread across this area,
:07:02. > :07:05.that it's highly likely that whoever is responsible lives in the area.
:07:06. > :07:08.Plain-clothed police officers will be working here
:07:09. > :07:12.And if you know anything about who did this to Molly's car,
:07:13. > :07:21.and her neighbours', you're asked to come forward.
:07:22. > :07:23.An Aurigny aircraft bound for Guernsey from Manchester
:07:24. > :07:25.had to do an emergency diversion to East Midlands
:07:26. > :07:28.because of a bad decision by the pilot,
:07:29. > :07:33.according to the Air Accident Investigation Branch.
:07:34. > :07:37.It says he was wrong not to de-ice the plane before taking off
:07:38. > :07:39.last March and describes it as a serious incident.
:07:40. > :07:41.Well, earlier I asked our reporter Mike Wilkins
:07:42. > :07:52.Well, we know snow was falling at Manchester Airport.
:07:53. > :07:54.The report says the crew had little experience
:07:55. > :07:57.They made a decision that de-icing was probably
:07:58. > :08:01.The commander said, "The snow doesn't appear to be sticking,
:08:02. > :08:03.so I think we can get away without de-icing."
:08:04. > :08:05.Later, he said he was prepared to have delayed departure
:08:06. > :08:08.if he believed de-icing was needed.
:08:09. > :08:10.The pilot did make a visible inspection of the aircraft,
:08:11. > :08:12.and the report says he "optimistically thought
:08:13. > :08:22.any lying snow would blow off on takeoff."
:08:23. > :08:25.What happened after the plane had taken off?
:08:26. > :08:28.a minute after taking off from Manchester,
:08:29. > :08:30.but it disengaged about two minutes after that.
:08:31. > :08:31.A pitch warning message was displayed.
:08:32. > :08:33.Two more attempts to use autopilot both saw it disengage.
:08:34. > :08:36.It's believed a build-up of ice on the tail
:08:37. > :08:37.led to difficulties with pitch controls.
:08:38. > :08:40.The pilot said, quote, "I want to divert to East Midlands
:08:41. > :08:48.because I'm having to put forward pressure on."
:08:49. > :08:52.The plane landed safely, and all 31 passengers and crew were fine.
:08:53. > :08:54.Aurigny didn't think it was a serious incident,
:08:55. > :09:00.to inform the Air Accident Investigation Branch.
:09:01. > :09:05.And what have Aurigny done to improve their safety?
:09:06. > :09:08.No-one from Aurigny was available for TV interview today,
:09:09. > :09:10.but it says the experienced pilot left
:09:11. > :09:14.the company shortly afterwards - we're not sure where to.
:09:15. > :09:16.Aurigny says it has procedures in place for de-icing
:09:17. > :09:23.It has since improved its winter awareness training.
:09:24. > :09:25.But I've spoken with the AAIB today, who have confirmed
:09:26. > :09:27.that they are investigating a second incident
:09:28. > :09:29.which happened in December involving the same aircraft,
:09:30. > :09:36.which once again had to land due to ice-related problems.
:09:37. > :09:38.You're watching the BBC in the Channel Islands.
:09:39. > :09:39.Later in Spotlight with Justin and Natalie,
:09:40. > :09:48.a mixed martial arts fighter from Somerset is heading to Las Vegas.
:09:49. > :09:51.Engineers will closely montior a badly damaged sea wall
:09:52. > :09:53.at Guernsey's L'Ancresse Bay, but it won't be fixed.
:09:54. > :09:56.It was damaged back in 2014 and concerns have been raised
:09:57. > :10:02.about how long it's taking to repair.
:10:03. > :10:08.say the plan is to let it decline over time,
:10:09. > :10:16.as in the long term a wall isn't the best option for the area.
:10:17. > :10:25.It is a cement tank wall, and yes, we might have some sentimental
:10:26. > :10:29.attachment to it, but at the same time in its natural state, what it
:10:30. > :10:31.would become would be much easier to maintain and better.
:10:32. > :10:32.It's almost the start of another weekend,
:10:33. > :10:41.Lets see if it's set to continue with David Braine.
:10:42. > :10:47.Thank you, Charlie, hello, good evening. The cold as well and truly
:10:48. > :10:53.arrived across the islands, and it is going to stick with us. We have a
:10:54. > :10:57.continued risk of showers tomorrow, some of them wintry, quite a lot of
:10:58. > :11:00.cloud around, definitely a cold easterly wind giving us the headache
:11:01. > :11:06.at the moment, because it is drawing in and very cold air, and a lot of
:11:07. > :11:10.cloud coming our way too. This area of low pressure is not going far at
:11:11. > :11:14.the moment, but these easterly winds are of concern, because they
:11:15. > :11:17.continue to feed in some pretty low temperatures through the day
:11:18. > :11:21.tomorrow and into the start of the weekend, as high pressure becomes
:11:22. > :11:24.established across the western side of Britain and we keep this area of
:11:25. > :11:28.low pressure over Spain and Portugal. So that is the setup, it
:11:29. > :11:32.looks like overnight we will see a few showers dotted around, quite a
:11:33. > :11:38.lot of cloud to the English Channel, producing a few showers, mostly to
:11:39. > :11:42.the north of Alderney. Overnight tonight, a cancer of the odd wintry
:11:43. > :11:46.showers on the easterly wind, some clear skies at times, temperatures
:11:47. > :11:52.down to two or three degrees. Just about cold enough for a touch of
:11:53. > :11:55.frost. Tomorrow, showers again, most likely for Guernsey and Alderney. St
:11:56. > :11:59.Helier may stay in the sunshine until later in the afternoon before
:12:00. > :12:04.showers arrived here too. Most of the showers will be rain, but there
:12:05. > :12:08.could be sleet at times, and 5 degrees is the top temperature. With
:12:09. > :12:14.the wind from the north-east, that will feel pretty cold. These are the
:12:15. > :12:27.times of high water. Most of the beaches will be clean.
:12:28. > :12:32.Some wintry showers possible again on Wednesday, Saturday is even
:12:33. > :12:37.colder, so some of those showers will be of sleet or even snow.
:12:38. > :12:41.Sunday, rather cloudy, and the transition into Monday is slightly
:12:42. > :12:51.less cold, but looking fraught at this stage. Charlie.
:12:52. > :12:54.Before we go a reminder of our top story in the Channel islands.
:12:55. > :12:56.Authorities say there's no risk to residents following an explosion
:12:57. > :12:59.at a nuclear power plant 20 miles across the water.
:13:00. > :13:01.The blast at Flamanville in Normandy was caused by a fire.
:13:02. > :13:04.Five people were treated, but there were no serious injuries,
:13:05. > :13:09.and French officials say there's no danger of a radiation leak.
:13:10. > :13:13.That is it, I am back at eight o'clock and then again at 10:20
:13:14. > :13:21.five. Until good evening. of harnessing the power of the sea
:13:22. > :13:24.and converting it into electricity is to connect to the wave power
:13:25. > :13:27.research project off the coast The multi-million pound prototype
:13:28. > :13:36.will arrive next year. Meanwhile, a scale model
:13:37. > :13:38.is currently being tested as our Environment
:13:39. > :13:40.Correspondent Adrian Campbell This is the dream, an array
:13:41. > :13:48.of devices to harness energy In New England, a huge prototype
:13:49. > :13:52.is already being built. Now the company backing the design
:13:53. > :13:55.is testing a scale model By 2018, the first vessel should be
:13:56. > :14:01.connected to Wave Hub, Each turbine could generate
:14:02. > :14:05.twice as much electricity It's the size of a Boeing 747,
:14:06. > :14:20.and we're putting in tremendous masses, the weight of a freight
:14:21. > :14:23.train moving through. the freight train powers
:14:24. > :14:28.on through and then as the vessel pitches the other way,
:14:29. > :14:31.it powers back the other way, and we can convert that rolling
:14:32. > :14:33.motion directly into electrical Wave Hub is an undersea electrical
:14:34. > :14:43.socket linked to the National Grid. It's cost tens of millions of pounds
:14:44. > :14:46.to put on the sea bed, and this announcement marks
:14:47. > :14:47.an important development in its history, because so far,
:14:48. > :14:50.it hasn't sent any electricity Unfortunately, there hasn't
:14:51. > :14:52.been any electricity We have worked very hard
:14:53. > :14:56.with several technology companies to try and enable them
:14:57. > :14:58.to demonstrate their But with the plans we're
:14:59. > :15:15.hearing about today As you can see, this scale model
:15:16. > :15:23.is doing well in the tests it is undergoing in the tanks
:15:24. > :15:26.here at Plymouth University. The real thing itself will be 60
:15:27. > :15:29.times the size of this. The American backers of this scheme
:15:30. > :15:32.believe it's important to think big to produce the amount of clean
:15:33. > :15:34.and affordable electricity that this country and the rest of the world
:15:35. > :15:43.will need in the coming years. the philosophical questions

:16:37. > :16:42.Certainly true that they don't want people to miss the fact that these
:16:43. > :16:48.buses are being launched. So how are they going down with locals?
:16:49. > :16:52.Fantastic. It's great to have new things for Cornwall. I think the
:16:53. > :16:57.future is buses for Cornwall. We need to have more to get around.
:16:58. > :17:08.Surprise to see a red bus. Well, it's a red bus! Nice. Caught the
:17:09. > :17:11.tinner, they have been carefully branded with a Cornish list. And
:17:12. > :17:15.there is no. The idea is that these will be modern buses for the modern
:17:16. > :17:19.world, so they are fitted with USB ports and in the next year, they
:17:20. > :17:25.will be contactless, so you can pay with a card. Is a major investment
:17:26. > :17:30.at ?7.5 million, but has it come at another cost? Did you cherry pick
:17:31. > :17:34.services, to have those most profitable? No. We have obviously
:17:35. > :17:42.put these vehicles onto our busiest routes. That is, and commercial
:17:43. > :17:45.business sense. We have got to make these buses pay for themselves, but
:17:46. > :17:48.the ongoing plan is to obviously start to improve the rest of the
:17:49. > :17:51.network. We are in the process of designing the network and working
:17:52. > :17:56.out how to do smart ticketing so that people can buy products on both
:17:57. > :18:00.networks, and we are looking at a rich network which covers as
:18:01. > :18:06.comprehensive and area as we can. Overall, feedback here has been
:18:07. > :18:09.possible. Top -- positive. Any improvement in public transport is
:18:10. > :18:14.good for us and good for the environment. We get so excited now
:18:15. > :18:18.every time we are driving down the A30. Oh, tinner! There is this big
:18:19. > :18:25.red thing coming at you, and they are shiny and new and just lovely.
:18:26. > :18:28.A mixed martial arts fighter from Somerset is heading stateside
:18:29. > :18:32.It's a sport with a fast growing international audience and now

:18:37. > :18:52.It is the most brutal of fight sports.
:18:53. > :18:54.But with the high risks come high rewards.
:18:55. > :18:59.Especially for the biggest stars, like the bearded
:19:00. > :19:01.Irishman Conor McGregor, now said to be worth
:19:02. > :19:05.A million miles away, you might think, from this small

:19:14. > :19:19.Do you get scared when you get in the ring?
:19:20. > :19:32.I think that's what I'm addicted to, the fear factor.
:19:33. > :19:39.So, yeah, I suppose I am a bit of an adrenaline junkie.
:19:40. > :19:41.This is Mark Godbeer, who in the sport of mixed martial
:19:42. > :19:49.arts is already at the top of his game in this country.
:19:50. > :19:53.Finally, out of Somerset, England, Mark...!

:20:23. > :20:25.in essence a mixture of boxing and kickboxing.
:20:26. > :20:27.He's been through every single person in the branch division,
:20:28. > :20:35.And without sounding arrogant, there was no real

:21:11. > :21:14.The trial is being run by the University of Exeter and five

:21:16. > :21:27.I'd like to know, what's the meaning of life?
:21:28. > :21:37.If you're a parent, you will know all about answering
:21:38. > :21:39.difficult questions, so you may smile wryly now
:21:40. > :21:45.the tables are being turned on the children.
:21:46. > :21:47.But the truth is, whatever that may be, that these youngsters
:21:48. > :21:49.are doing a good job, whatever good means.
:21:50. > :21:52.I think to be good, it means that you have to be
:21:53. > :21:57.Obviously, there's different opinions of good, so good to you
:21:58. > :22:00.can be doing the simplest thing, like walking instead of running

:22:16. > :22:17.of a philosophy project designed to get them thinking.

:22:20. > :22:21.Bravery is doing something you're scared of doing,

:22:26. > :22:29.A postgrad student at University of Exeter is behind the scheme,
:22:30. > :22:38.which is being tried out at five primary schools in Devon.
:22:39. > :22:41.At the heart of these sessions is the sense that children can learn
:22:42. > :22:43.to disagree with each other, but in a way that's
:22:44. > :22:45.rational so they don't get argumentative about it.
:22:46. > :22:50.It's not about everyone having the same opinion,
:22:51. > :22:55.because when they leave school, they're going to face those

:23:07. > :23:09.Certainly, young minds do like to enquire.
:23:10. > :23:11.Clearly a question with many answers.
:23:12. > :23:22.I don't know where to begin with that one! We have that debate in the
:23:23. > :23:23.newsroom every day. But we should always end with the weather. And
:23:24. > :23:35.what is whether, David? At the moment, it's mostly cold! It
:23:36. > :23:38.is certainly chilly today. We have had a temperature is no more than
:23:39. > :23:43.four or 5 degrees for most of us. But you have been out taking your
:23:44. > :23:48.photographs. This is a beautiful shot of the blue skies we saw
:23:49. > :23:56.earlier today. Not so sunny towards Somerset. Temperatures really have
:23:57. > :24:00.struggled today, especially across parts of Dorset and Somerset.
:24:01. > :24:05.Slightly less cold as you get towards the coast line, but for all
:24:06. > :24:08.of us, it has been pretty chilly, still in the grip of winter. But not
:24:09. > :24:15.all of our plants are paying attention to that. This is Ka Hayes,
:24:16. > :24:20.where there was some sunshine, and the flowers seem to be coming out,
:24:21. > :24:26.the Magnolia 's and other flowers beginning to appear. These pictures
:24:27. > :24:31.were filmed by our cameraman Tristan. A beautiful, springlike day
:24:32. > :24:35.here, but but the temperatures have not reflected those figures. We have
:24:36. > :24:40.been pretty cold right across the south-west today. If anything, it's
:24:41. > :24:44.going to get colder. Tomorrow, it looks like we will see some
:24:45. > :24:48.sunshine, but briefly, plus more clout than we have seen today and
:24:49. > :24:53.the risk of wintry showers. And for all of us, it's going to feel very
:24:54. > :24:58.cold indeed. The reason is in an area of low pressure across Spain
:24:59. > :25:01.and Portugal which is staying stationary and whilst that happens,
:25:02. > :25:06.it draws air from the east, and that is to leave will continue not just
:25:07. > :25:10.for tomorrow, but continuing into the weekend. As an area of high
:25:11. > :25:14.pressure settles in across the north of Ireland, we draw in the air from
:25:15. > :25:17.southern parts of Scandinavia, from Poland and eastern parts of Germany,
:25:18. > :25:22.where temperatures today have not been much more than one or 2 degrees
:25:23. > :25:25.above freezing. So it's going to be cold. There is also the chance of
:25:26. > :25:30.cloud embedded in that flow, generating showers. There are a few
:25:31. > :25:36.tonight, mostly along the south coast, where they will probably fall
:25:37. > :25:39.as rain. But if you get higher up, particularly the southern slopes of
:25:40. > :25:43.Dartmoor, they could fall as sleet and snow. It will be a cold night
:25:44. > :25:46.for all of us, temperatures hovering around freezing for most locations.
:25:47. > :25:52.The breeze helps keep temperatures up, but a frost is possible. More
:25:53. > :25:56.showers tomorrow, mostly through the Channel. A few creep into parts of
:25:57. > :26:02.Dorset and Somerset, and they will have a wintry flavour. A flurry of
:26:03. > :26:08.snow is possible. Temperatures may get up to 5 degrees but for most of
:26:09. > :26:11.us, it will be below that. And with a brisk wind from the East or
:26:12. > :26:15.Northeast, it will feel bitterly cold. One of the warmest places in
:26:16. > :26:19.the country is likely to be the Isles of Scilly. But it will not
:26:20. > :26:30.feel that one, because it will be windy.
:26:31. > :26:39.And for our surface, there are some clean surf. The waves are not very
:26:40. > :26:41.big now. The forecast for the coastal waters keeps the wind is
:26:42. > :26:50.going right through tonight and tomorrow. It is mainly an easterly,
:26:51. > :26:59.becoming north-easterly. Generally good visibility outside the showers.
:27:00. > :27:02.The weekend will gradually get warmer, but temperatures will not
:27:03. > :27:06.change a great deal. The only real change is on Monday, when we see
:27:07. > :27:12.slightly less cold air coming from the south-east and temperatures back
:27:13. > :27:15.up. For the weekend, birthdays are predominantly dry, with the risk of
:27:16. > :27:23.some overnight frost. A brisk winds from the East. Next week, it looks
:27:24. > :27:26.like we will start to see a change as we see more at coming up from the
:27:27. > :27:33.south, but that is a long way away. For the moment, it is cold.
:27:34. > :27:39.That is it from us, but Andy will be here with an update at ten and we
:27:40. > :27:41.will all be back at 6.30 tomorrow. From all of us on Spotlight, good
:27:42. > :27:54.night. OK, everyone, have you got
:27:55. > :28:01.your bamboo sticks? If you just paint
:28:02. > :28:02.what you want to paint, I've turned around,
:28:03. > :28:08.my painting washes away. ..and take on
:28:09. > :28:14.The Big Painting Challenge. Remember, you're not painting
:28:15. > :28:17.a pond.
