:00:00. > :00:00.Good evening, I'm Charlie McArdle welcome to BBC Channel Islands.
:00:00. > :00:00.These are Monday's headlines: Concerns about how to handle severe
:00:07. > :00:23.Unfortunately, because of the very rare occurrences of seriously
:00:24. > :00:25.mentally disordered prisoners, we are not able to provide the
:00:26. > :00:26.facilities here in Jersey. The technology promising to ease
:00:27. > :00:30.Guernsey's perennial problem. EastEnders beats Coronation Street,
:00:31. > :00:47.and crowns Jersey's Jonny It's just great to see everybody
:00:48. > :00:48.from the east and the West come together to watch a Jersey boy.
:00:49. > :00:56.Jersey boy it home! A report into Jersey's prison board
:00:57. > :01:13.has raised concerns about the number It says in the last year the prison
:01:14. > :01:14.held some inmates who are too mentally ill to be there.
:01:15. > :01:33.Perhaps not surprisingly, mental health issues are more
:01:34. > :01:35.common among prisoners than the general population.
:01:36. > :01:37.But the latest report from Jersey's prison board raised concerns
:01:38. > :01:40.about the level of severe mental illness at La Moye.
:01:41. > :01:42.It said there was a significant number of mentally disordered
:01:43. > :01:46.offenders at the prison who should not, in our view, be there at all.
:01:47. > :01:48.The prison governor says that refers to inmates who are sectionable under
:01:49. > :01:52.They're transferred to suitable mental health facilities in the UK
:01:53. > :01:58.There has to be a bed space, there's a legal process
:01:59. > :02:01.you have to go through, but in previous years that may have
:02:02. > :02:04.We've streamlined that process, we get good cooperation
:02:05. > :02:08.Sometimes you struggle to find the bed space but that's something
:02:09. > :02:10.you don't have control over, but our relationship has improved
:02:11. > :02:12.and the process we go through has shown improvement.
:02:13. > :02:15.In fact, overall the report's found the prison is run extremely well.
:02:16. > :02:17.It highlights a high standard of medical care,
:02:18. > :02:20.good training and education for inmates, and it says complaints
:02:21. > :02:24.And, as for severely mentally ill people being in prison
:02:25. > :02:26.when they shouldn't be, it's actually partly
:02:27. > :02:33.The facilities they go to in the UK are what they need.
:02:34. > :02:39.Unfortunately because of the very rare occurrences of seriously
:02:40. > :02:43.mentally disordered prisoners we are not able to provide
:02:44. > :02:48.Instead the authorities are trying to reduce as much as possible
:02:49. > :02:51.the time it takes to send those prisoners to a more
:02:52. > :03:00.A third more flights could be able to land in Guernsey in foggy
:03:01. > :03:02.conditions if a satellite-based navigational system
:03:03. > :03:09.Guernsey Airport's General Manager says the EGNOS system may enable
:03:10. > :03:12.planes to land and take off in what is known
:03:13. > :03:16.Mike Wilkins reports on the attempts to cut delays,
:03:17. > :03:25.An anxious wait as the plane descends in poor visibility.
:03:26. > :03:28.Fog cripples the Channel Islands at times, but something
:03:29. > :03:31.most of aren't aware of is this technology.
:03:32. > :03:34.It's got a bit of a funny name, EGNOS.
:03:35. > :03:37.In a nutshell it helps aircraft land in foggy conditions.
:03:38. > :03:41.It's been operational in some parts of Europe since 2009.
:03:42. > :03:45.It uses three satellites and a network of more than 30
:03:46. > :03:49.And trials are showing that it provides greater
:03:50. > :03:56.Alderney was a pioneer for this technology and has been using it
:03:57. > :04:19.Guernsey and port 's general manager says it could revolutionise the
:04:20. > :04:23.performance in heavy fog. It is the holy Grail. If the appetite of the
:04:24. > :04:27.regulators is to meet the way in which technology is performing then
:04:28. > :04:32.we could see us heading towards category two. It won't be the
:04:33. > :04:37.panacea to all evils. Two thirds of our fog is worst and category to but
:04:38. > :04:42.any improvement has got to be an improvement and anything which
:04:43. > :04:47.reduces the cost of the airport infrastructure from me as important
:04:48. > :04:49.as well. So when will it be operational? Jersey and Guernsey are
:04:50. > :04:50.waiting for the Civil Aviation Authority to give them the all
:04:51. > :04:53.clear. 17 people were refused entry
:04:54. > :04:56.into Jersey last year The majority of those
:04:57. > :04:59.who were turned away had failed to the meet the requirements
:05:00. > :05:02.of the island's immigration rules. The details which came
:05:03. > :05:04.from a freedom of information request also revealed there had been
:05:05. > :05:13.one asylum claim made last year. Jersey Police have launched
:05:14. > :05:17.an investigation into The controversial scheme -
:05:18. > :05:20.which loaned tax payers money to businesses -
:05:21. > :05:23.was the subject of a damning It was criticised for potentially
:05:24. > :05:26.losing millions of pounds of taxpayers money and may have been
:05:27. > :05:30.linked to criminal activity. Now the island's Attorney General's
:05:31. > :05:33.confirmed it's received a referral The way in which Guernsey offers tax
:05:34. > :05:42.rebates is to be investigated. It's emerged that last
:05:43. > :05:43.year more than 1,500 cheques were issued
:05:44. > :05:47.for under five pounds. Two thirds of them weren't cashed,
:05:48. > :05:50.and it's being suggested that a better way of handling small
:05:51. > :06:05.refunds could be found. You are watching the BBC in the
:06:06. > :06:10.Channel Islands. Later into a paragraph one with Justin and
:06:11. > :06:11.nationally -- Natalie, having his cake, Hywel boy with cancer got to
:06:12. > :06:16.be a bake off judge. It was a wild fire that reeked
:06:17. > :06:19.devastation and claimed three lives. Funchal in Madeira is still
:06:20. > :06:21.recovering from the ferocious fires which affected the friends
:06:22. > :06:24.and family of many living in Jersey. Six months on, thanks to donations,
:06:25. > :06:27.?18,000 has been handed over The Madeiran night sky was lit up
:06:28. > :06:36.by flames last summer, as wildfires spread across the island
:06:37. > :06:40.and into the city of Funchal, People were forced out of homes,
:06:41. > :06:44.hospitals and hotels. The devastating scenes
:06:45. > :06:51.hit hearts in Jersey, making islanders reach
:06:52. > :06:53.into their pockets to Today the money raised was gifted
:06:54. > :06:59.from some of the fundraisers and the Constable of St Helier
:07:00. > :07:06.to the people of Funchal, There was a tremendous
:07:07. > :07:09.outpouring of generosity, and it was also striking that
:07:10. > :07:11.people kept giving. We had a cheque only a couple
:07:12. > :07:14.of weeks ago for ?1,000 to add into the fund and I suspect that
:07:15. > :07:18.if we kept the appeal open it would have carried on rising,
:07:19. > :07:21.but we thought it was time to get the money over to Funchal,
:07:22. > :07:24.where there are a lot It was towards the people in need
:07:25. > :07:28.who are on low income, to help them to build their kitchens,
:07:29. > :07:33.the rooms which they need to live It's been a devastated area,
:07:34. > :07:38.I mean, in some areas I think its going to take years
:07:39. > :07:43.to get it back in order. Although the damage of the wildfires
:07:44. > :07:46.will be felt for a long time yet, it will be made a little easier
:07:47. > :07:49.by the support of the relationship Ex-EastEnders star and Jersey's very
:07:50. > :07:58.own Jonny Labey was in the island last to watch the final of ITV's
:07:59. > :08:03.Dance, Dance, Dance. Joined by his girlfriend and dance
:08:04. > :08:06.partner, Chrissy Brooke, the duo were surrounded by family
:08:07. > :08:09.and friends for a not so quiet I squeezed into the packed pub
:08:10. > :08:18.to watch their winning moment. Jersey's Jonny Labey
:08:19. > :08:20.and his dance partner, and girlfriend, Chrissy Brooke,
:08:21. > :08:22.have been totting up the scores, re-creating some
:08:23. > :08:27.of the most iconic pop videos. From week one they were the ones
:08:28. > :08:30.to watch and it wasn't just Family and friends have been
:08:31. > :08:33.supporting the dance duo, watching the action every week
:08:34. > :08:46.at Jonny's local, with a full It is definitely raising the profile
:08:47. > :08:49.for Jersey and our little island, we love to support somebody. Sing and
:08:50. > :08:54.dance together is brilliant and they're clearly a very talented
:08:55. > :08:57.couple. To such an advert for how Wally is done and how hard you have
:08:58. > :08:58.to work to get somewhere in the industry.
:08:59. > :09:01.It was the battle of the exes - the ex-EastEnders star and ex-Corrie
:09:02. > :09:03.star, Lucy Jo Hudson, but it was Jonny and Chrissy
:09:04. > :09:09.who clinched the winner's title, with the perfect score,
:09:10. > :09:17.It is Ramdin here. We are so thankful for what they have done. It
:09:18. > :09:22.is amazing. We didn't even see that last performance until now properly.
:09:23. > :09:29.It could have gone either or both ways. It was close. It was an
:09:30. > :09:32.incredible competition. He is not a superstar in my eyes, he is just my
:09:33. > :09:37.boy, he is fulfilling his dream of doing what he loves. It is great to
:09:38. > :09:39.see everybody from the east and the West come together to watch a Jersey
:09:40. > :09:45.boy. I Jersey boy bringing it home. Making their parents
:09:46. > :09:46.and Jersey proud. Jonny and Chrissy, a winning team
:09:47. > :09:50.on and off the screen. I have never seen a pub so full. It
:09:51. > :09:54.was jam-packed. Last night on my way home
:09:55. > :09:56.from the Seymour the sea was coming over the wall,
:09:57. > :09:59.along with sand and stone. Tonight a tide alert's been issued
:10:00. > :10:02.for Guernsey's East Coast at around 8.30pm with warnings of debris
:10:03. > :10:19.on coastal roads and Hello. It is looking milder for this
:10:20. > :10:23.week. We have a recovery in our temperatures compared to recent
:10:24. > :10:27.days. It will be less windy than today but there is some rain in the
:10:28. > :10:31.forecast and we will see some of it tomorrow and Wednesday. Not too much
:10:32. > :10:35.of it. We will have a decent amount of dry weather and brightness at
:10:36. > :10:38.times as well. This is the pressure pattern so there is quite a squeeze
:10:39. > :10:44.of the isobars, bringing strong winds today which will ease over the
:10:45. > :10:48.coming days. That is good news. They eventually come round to a
:10:49. > :10:51.south-westerly directed and bring milder off the Atlantic. Weather
:10:52. > :10:55.front is pushing towards us in bringing rain for a time before
:10:56. > :10:57.tending to clear through. Brighter in the afternoon and similar on
:10:58. > :11:13.Wednesday as well. An early weather front in. On Thursday higher
:11:14. > :11:15.pressure begins to build up that should give us quite unsettled and
:11:16. > :11:18.do things. Like wings and hopefully brightness coming through and a dry
:11:19. > :11:20.day as well. Through the night to night it is quite windy and the
:11:21. > :11:25.winds will gradually ease. The cloud is thickening up and it could bring
:11:26. > :11:29.rain tomorrow morning. Not to Chile. Tomorrow we have raided the forecast
:11:30. > :11:33.here and there and it will be patchy and light. It tends to clear through
:11:34. > :11:38.and then skies brightened in the afternoon. Sunshine in the
:11:39. > :11:51.afternoon. South-easterly breeze but not as strong as today. Temperatures
:11:52. > :11:57.getting up to ten or 11. The winds Southall south-easterly and four or
:11:58. > :12:04.five. Raid around at first but the visibility moderate or good. It is
:12:05. > :12:07.milder ahead. Less windy than today with a little rain around at times
:12:08. > :12:11.over the next couple of days but tending to turn drier as we head
:12:12. > :12:14.towards the end of the week. Not looking too bad at all and hopefully
:12:15. > :12:19.reasonably settled into the weekend as well.
:12:20. > :12:22.Thank you. It is getting warmer. Take a bit of extra care if you are
:12:23. > :12:26.travelling along the coastal roads. But is all for now. Don't forget if
:12:27. > :12:29.on the iPlayer. I will be backed on the iPlayer. I will be backed
:12:30. > :12:37.before aid. Good night. A bell-ringer from Devon had to be
:12:38. > :12:46.winched down almost a hundred feet after he was injured preparing
:12:47. > :12:57.for a performance at He was preparing for a performance
:12:58. > :12:59.when a freak accident saw him wasted in the air.
:13:00. > :13:01.Firefighters decided it would be safer to lower Ian Bowman
:13:02. > :13:04.through a trapdoor than walk him down a spiral staircase.
:13:05. > :13:14.Saturday they took their toll on Saturday they took their toll on
:13:15. > :13:20.Devon bell-ringer Ian Bowman. The rope was going up and down through
:13:21. > :13:25.the ceiling. Somehow it got behind my right ankle and took me upside
:13:26. > :13:30.down and the next thing I knew I was eyelevel with another ringer who was
:13:31. > :13:37.still on the floor. It crashed me back into the floor as the rope came
:13:38. > :13:39.down and picked me up again. The emergency services a spiral
:13:40. > :13:44.staircase would be problematic so they place the mechanic on a special
:13:45. > :13:49.structure and lowered him through this trap door, 80 feet high,
:13:50. > :13:59.bringing him down to come out well. We train a lot for this type of
:14:00. > :14:00.scenario so these types of resources are not always seen out and about
:14:01. > :14:06.because these incidents do not occur a lot, however we do train for this
:14:07. > :14:12.type of scenario. Ian Bowman is recovering at home and hopes to be
:14:13. > :14:16.back ringing bells very soon. It is just an accident but I was just
:14:17. > :14:21.unlucky that it happened to me. It was just one of those things, I will
:14:22. > :14:29.get better and I will get back to bell-ringing. Extraordinarily lucky
:14:30. > :14:33.to be OK because I heard some of the injuries he sustained, he is lucky
:14:34. > :14:35.to survive and told the story. Get well soon.
:14:36. > :14:38.Brass bands across the south west often compete against each other
:14:39. > :14:39.in major competitions, but musicians have put
:14:40. > :14:42.their friendly rivalry to one side to help a fellow musician.
:14:43. > :14:44.Stephen Sykes, who has an aggressive form of cancer,
:14:45. > :14:47.needs a stem cell transplant. Despite a worldwide search,
:14:48. > :14:50.no match has been found, so now members of brass bands
:14:51. > :14:54.across the region are getting tested to see if they could be a donor.
:14:55. > :15:07.This is Stephen Sykes playing solo at a concert last summer.
:15:08. > :15:10.As a talented trombonist he has played with orchestras and bands
:15:11. > :15:15.all over the country, but he has been unable to perform
:15:16. > :15:21.Chemotherapy doesn't appear to be working.
:15:22. > :15:24.His cancer is aggressive, stage four.
:15:25. > :15:28.Doctors say he needs a stem cell transplant.
:15:29. > :15:31.The cancer has grown into my bone marrow which means that
:15:32. > :15:39.without a stem cell transplant, it is not looking too good really.
:15:40. > :15:42.Normally this would be OK because we've got
:15:43. > :15:46.the donor system now, but they cannot find a donor for me
:15:47. > :15:53.anywhere in the world, which is typical really.
:15:54. > :15:56.They need to get as close a match as possible to avoid additional
:15:57. > :16:00.So I came out of there feeling like I ought to stand outside
:16:01. > :16:11.the supermarket and rugby tackle people and swab them.
:16:12. > :16:13.With connections to the music world, his family have appealed
:16:14. > :16:19.In Cornwall, members of St Austell town band
:16:20. > :16:26.Take the swabs out, swab the inside of your cheek and put
:16:27. > :16:30.them back in here and we will send them back off and see if there's
:16:31. > :16:34.Are you quite impressed with the way the brass community has come
:16:35. > :16:37.I'm not surprised, but I am impressed.
:16:38. > :16:40.We have the hold band and the whole banding world in Cornwall.
:16:41. > :16:43.Yesterday, Facebook and Twitter went wild with people
:16:44. > :16:46.from all over the county saying, "My pack has arrived,
:16:47. > :16:52.It was amazing, so many people yesterday just doing it
:16:53. > :17:03.Stephen Sykes knows a transplant is his only chance, but he also
:17:04. > :17:07.hopes that as more potential donors come forward, there are samples that
:17:08. > :17:17.Plymouth Argyle sent out a strong message to the rest
:17:18. > :17:19.of League 2 this weekend, after comprehensively beating
:17:20. > :17:25.They won 3-0 and are now 11 points clear of the playoff places
:17:26. > :17:46.It was if you are an Argyle fan. You look at Exeter, they are in form. 12
:17:47. > :17:51.games unbeaten, seven wins in a row. But the manager said to me, he
:17:52. > :18:05.thought his players were more dangerous. It was another player
:18:06. > :18:10.making his debut, Ryan Taylor, his goal on the stroke of half-time. He
:18:11. > :18:16.impressed a lot of players and won man of the match. You mentioned
:18:17. > :18:21.Exeter was going into this game in great form. Where they ever in this
:18:22. > :18:29.particular game? They did have chances. David Wheeler hit the bar
:18:30. > :18:36.with a header. But there was another former Argyle player, Reuben Reid
:18:37. > :18:42.who missed a sitter here. Jake Jervis smashing in a penalty in
:18:43. > :18:47.stoppage time. Where does this result leaves both clubs? Plymouth
:18:48. > :18:53.are second and with three teams going up automatically, they can
:18:54. > :18:59.make the gap between them and fourth place 14 points. Their manager was a
:19:00. > :19:03.happy man on Saturday. Today, people look at the result and they will be
:19:04. > :19:09.impressed because Exeter have been on a good one and to win any Game
:19:10. > :19:16.3-0 against a team who have won seven games in a row, it shows how
:19:17. > :19:20.good we are. As for Exeter, it hurts when you lose to your local rivals
:19:21. > :19:29.but if they can bounce back against Notts County tomorrow, they are
:19:30. > :19:34.still in with a shot at promotion. Rugby, this next match between the
:19:35. > :19:38.Exeter Chiefs and Wasps was as close as it gets.
:19:39. > :19:41.Ten tries between them and never more than one score
:19:42. > :19:44.The Chiefs stay third after this 35-all thriller at Sandy Park
:19:45. > :19:47.A special moment for Teignmouth's Sam Simmonds.
:19:48. > :19:49.The 22-year-old celebrated his new contract with a try on debut.
:19:50. > :19:51.His team-mates seemed pretty pleased for him also.
:19:52. > :19:53.Youth has certainly been given a chance to shine.
:19:54. > :19:57.However it was an experienced campaigner, Phil Dollman,
:19:58. > :20:00.who spotted a gap and sent teenager Jack Maunder on his way
:20:01. > :20:04.to the line for his first five pointer in the league.
:20:05. > :20:07.Level at the break, Exeter bucked the scoring pattern by taking
:20:08. > :20:13.However, minutes later, they were down to 14.
:20:14. > :20:17.Jonny Hill sent off for making contact with an opponent's head.
:20:18. > :20:20.With half an hour still to go it looked ominous for the Chiefs,
:20:21. > :20:23.especially after the visitors drew level.
:20:24. > :20:26.But they refused to lie down and Olly Woodburn scrambled over
:20:27. > :20:32.Wasps aren't top for nothing and they hit back
:20:33. > :20:39.Honours even and a fitting end to this incredible game.
:20:40. > :20:42.Staying with rugby, it's great to see Plymouth Albion up to second
:20:43. > :20:44.in National One after their hard fought win over Coventry.
:20:45. > :20:54.Jack Nowell certainly did enough to keep his shirt.
:20:55. > :21:07.It was so tense. I am not a good watcher of support, to be honest. I
:21:08. > :21:15.am a bit nervous. They are the only ones unbeaten, England? They are.
:21:16. > :21:20.They have the next who everyone are giving a hiding to, then they have
:21:21. > :21:28.Scotland. Ireland will be the toughest fixture. Jack will be all
:21:29. > :21:33.right for next game? A lot of people were surprised he was left out. But
:21:34. > :21:39.he came out of the game with Wales with flying colours.
:21:40. > :21:41.A boy diagnosed with a rare cancer has been given the top job
:21:42. > :21:43.of judging a children's bake off competition.
:21:44. > :21:45.Seven-year-old Henry Hallam from Plymouth has been battling
:21:46. > :21:49.His parents set up a charity, Hugs from Henry, to raise
:21:50. > :21:57.Spotlight's Janine Jansen went along to help with the judging.
:21:58. > :22:00.Mary Berry, where are you when we need you?
:22:01. > :22:02.This children's bake off in Plymouth is raising money
:22:03. > :22:14.I'm going to be tasting all of the cakes.
:22:15. > :22:18.Have you got a favourite type of cake you like?
:22:19. > :22:25.Henry has a rare nerve cancer that attacks children under five
:22:26. > :22:34.He is now seven and is doing brilliantly.
:22:35. > :22:39.He's a real character, a real fighter and he has
:22:40. > :22:44.I couldn't be prouder of him to be honest.
:22:45. > :22:48.ITV's Richard Lawrence and myself were given the honour
:22:49. > :23:00.In first place was the Valentines cake.
:23:01. > :23:10.How are you feeling now that you've eaten about ten cakes?
:23:11. > :23:18.The winner was bake off fan seven-year-old Isabelle.
:23:19. > :23:32.And all the time he's like a monster.
:23:33. > :23:44.Well, this cheeky monster has clearly eaten way too much cake.
:23:45. > :23:54.Never seen anyone less like a monster! Isn't he gorgeous! It's
:23:55. > :24:02.time for the weather now and Holly is here. I hope Janine has brought
:24:03. > :24:10.us back some cake. She hasn't! Outrageous. Ever so windy today.
:24:11. > :24:22.Fortunately that is improving and it has been milder as well. For many of
:24:23. > :24:26.us it was a very nice start to the day but those bright skies belying
:24:27. > :24:35.the strength of wind and it has been a very blowy day-to-day. Dawlish
:24:36. > :24:40.getting its customary pounding. Another location that is very
:24:41. > :24:49.exposed to that wind is Looe. It was a windy picture. Gale force gusts
:24:50. > :24:53.getting up to 50 mph. They are easy over the coming days and crucially
:24:54. > :24:59.the wind direction is changing as well, so losing at this south
:25:00. > :25:04.easterly we have had and we will find our winds coming round from the
:25:05. > :25:06.south-west. It is turning milder, even today it has been miles above
:25:07. > :25:14.the wind has offset that milder air. the wind has offset that milder air.
:25:15. > :25:19.Less windy over the coming days, spells of rain but hopefully turning
:25:20. > :25:25.Dreier. The squeeze in the isobars showing the strength of wind for
:25:26. > :25:29.today. Tomorrow, the weather front clears eastwards. Another weather
:25:30. > :25:33.front moves its way across Wednesday and you can see those south-westerly
:25:34. > :25:40.winds starting to push in, bringing milder air in. A good bit more
:25:41. > :25:47.settled. This evening and tonight, rain starts to work in. It retreats
:25:48. > :25:52.but then starts to push its way towards us. If you heavy bursts
:25:53. > :25:57.likely. Still quite windy at times but gradually easing down and
:25:58. > :26:03.temperatures of seven or eight but called out to the east. For many a
:26:04. > :26:09.wet start tomorrow. The rain stop and go, fairly light and patchy and
:26:10. > :26:12.it does work its way eastwards. Still a bit of a breeze around
:26:13. > :26:22.tomorrow but certainly less strong than today and highs in two double
:26:23. > :26:27.figures. For the Isles of Scilly, that early rain clears, turning
:26:28. > :26:31.brighter. The risk of heavy showers moving into was the tail end of the
:26:32. > :26:40.day and these are our times of high water. For our times of high water,
:26:41. > :26:47.sorry coastal waters for cursed, South easterly winds, occasional
:26:48. > :26:54.rain, visibility moderate or good. This is how it is shaping up over
:26:55. > :26:58.the coming days. That milder look to things, temperatures in double
:26:59. > :27:03.figures. Less Winston Reid than it has been today, there is some rain
:27:04. > :27:06.in the forecast over the next couple of days but generally turning Dreier
:27:07. > :27:15.as we had through the second part of this week. That is all from us for
:27:16. > :27:18.now. There will be an update at 10:30pm. In the meantime, have a
:27:19. > :27:20.good evening. Goodbye.
