:00:15. > :00:23.They can give it to us this year or three years' time and take it away.
:00:24. > :00:30.They weren't more than three years ago, why are they so worried about
:00:31. > :00:32.it now? There is no cross left. -- trust.

:00:35. > :00:37.The final furlong for horse racing in Guernsey -
:00:38. > :00:45.There is a problem. They might have to run this race once every two
:00:46. > :00:52.years or something. Farmers in Jersey will no longer get
:00:53. > :00:55.government money based on the size of their farm,
:00:56. > :00:57.but instead will have to prove they're meeting
:00:58. > :00:59.sustainable farming standards. The new plan - released today -
:01:00. > :01:02.will change the way Some say it will bring
:01:03. > :01:07.more help for businesses but others believe it's too
:01:08. > :01:09.little, too late. It's no longer Jersey's
:01:10. > :01:16.most important industry. But farming is an inescapable part
:01:17. > :01:18.of the island's identity. And it's that impact
:01:19. > :01:21.on our landscape the government farmers in return for public tax
:01:22. > :01:30.payers money that they'll receive, to give back to the community
:01:31. > :01:34.some environmental gain. To show that they're looking
:01:35. > :01:36.after the countryside, that they're thinking about energy,

:01:40. > :01:45.public money, farmers are going to demonstrate that
:01:46. > :01:46.they're looking And that's the big change
:01:47. > :01:49.in this big document. Farmers will need to reach certain
:01:50. > :01:52.standards to get grants. The higher the standard,
:01:53. > :01:54.the bigger the grant. And it's hoped in ten years' time,
:01:55. > :01:58.all Jersey farms will have met what's called the Leaf standard -

:02:02. > :02:05.accreditation for their farm - whether it's cattle,
:02:06. > :02:07.whether it's sheep or chickens or just the growing side -
:02:08. > :02:11.if everyone steps up to the Leaf mark challenge,
:02:12. > :02:14.Jersey's in a great place to market itself as an island
:02:15. > :02:17.that is producing sustainable food, and that's going to
:02:18. > :02:23.be a great message. Although Peter admits
:02:24. > :02:26.the plan isn't perfect. He's worried there isn't more
:02:27. > :02:33.to help young farmers Something dairy farmer
:02:34. > :02:39.Darren knows very well. He gave up his organic
:02:40. > :02:41.status two years ago Now he thinks the strategy
:02:42. > :02:45.is too little, too late. Organic farming was
:02:46. > :02:46.obviously the benchmark of all sustainable environmental
:02:47. > :02:48.farming worldwide. We as an organic association
:02:49. > :02:51.on the island asked government over three years ago to fund it,
:02:52. > :02:53.otherwise it was in serious decline, they didn't do it, it has
:02:54. > :02:56.had serious decline, and now they're out there
:02:57. > :02:58.championing the fact that they're going to look
:02:59. > :03:07.after the environment. It seems a little
:03:08. > :03:14.too late in my book. And with the financial pot not
:03:15. > :03:19.getting any bigger for farmers, the government hopes the subsidies
:03:20. > :03:21.will be a big enough But Darren says while the States
:03:22. > :03:28.is making the right noises, Securing reliable, sustainable,
:03:29. > :03:38.and affordable air and sea links - that's the main priority people
:03:39. > :03:40.in Guernsey want the Government to focus on when detailing
:03:41. > :03:42.the islands future plan. That's the feedback from a series
:03:43. > :03:46.of drop in workshops to help the Policy and Resources
:03:47. > :03:48.committee decide the 20-year strategic vision due
:03:49. > :03:50.to be debated in June. But Deputy Le Tocq told
:03:51. > :03:52.BBC Radio Guernsey today that they can't focus
:03:53. > :04:06.on immediate concerns. The a dichotomy if you like between
:04:07. > :04:11.us fixing things that are a problem and the moment and being able to
:04:12. > :04:14.look at things, step back and say, we might fix it at the moment but
:04:15. > :04:18.there will be a novel problem next year and a view yet down the line.
:04:19. > :04:24.We need a broader look to see what we might have, to make it more
:04:25. > :04:25.sustainable and warm to map a solution.
:04:26. > :04:27.The cost of water is going up in Jersey.
:04:28. > :04:29.Prices will increase by two percent in April -
:04:30. > :04:31.that's around two pence for the average household.
:04:32. > :04:34.The rise follows one of the driest winters for years and the extra
:04:35. > :04:37.costs Jersey Water have had to incur for the treatment of supplies
:04:38. > :04:42.Jersey's Education Minister has survived a motion of censure over
:04:43. > :04:50.The motion was called for by a politician who claims
:04:51. > :04:52.the Minister used misleading information in presenting his
:04:53. > :05:01.Like many other departments, Education is having to make savings
:05:02. > :05:03.whether through means-testing free nursery places or reducing grants
:05:04. > :05:09.But plans to cut the pay of newly recruited teachers got
:05:10. > :05:13.the Education Minister into hot water.
:05:14. > :05:19.Backbencher deputy Geoff Southern called for a motion of censure
:05:20. > :05:21.against the Minister - that's a reprimand by the States
:05:22. > :05:23.accusing him of using misleading figures.
:05:24. > :05:31.Teachers in Jersey currently start on ?38,000 a year.
:05:32. > :05:35.it to just under ?34k, which the Minister argues
:05:36. > :05:41.teachers in the UK - the least experienced
:05:42. > :05:44.and qualified - with level three teachers in Jersey -
:05:45. > :05:47.those with at least a 2:2 degree and post-grad in education -
:05:48. > :05:50.because the island doesn't recruit below a level three.
:05:51. > :05:53.But Deputy Southern says that's comparing apples and oranges,
:05:54. > :05:55.the Minister however says it still adds up.
:05:56. > :06:00.Jersey level three teachers would still get more than level
:06:01. > :06:03.three teachers in the UK - including those in better paid
:06:04. > :06:11.But the motion of censure was defeated overwhelmingly.
:06:12. > :06:14.So was it all just a waste of States' time?
:06:15. > :06:16.Well you can argue that but I believe ministers
:06:17. > :06:18.in particular and their assistants should listen carefully
:06:19. > :06:24.to the will of the States that we're given open,
:06:25. > :06:26.straightforward and honest answers and information.
:06:27. > :06:30.And though the Minister survived the motion,
:06:31. > :06:34.does the whole debacle throw doubt over his plans to cut pay?
:06:35. > :06:37.No, I don't, not at all, it goes with the territory,
:06:38. > :06:39.you have to make difficult decisions, we have to make
:06:40. > :06:41.budget requirements, we have to make sure
:06:42. > :06:44.we are operating fully, so we protected our front line
:06:45. > :06:50.services and are still on track to making education a top priority'.
:06:51. > :06:53.The question now is what impact any pay cut would have to teacher
:06:54. > :07:02.Over 900 people have signed a petition
:07:03. > :07:03.against Jersey's Chief Minister receiving a pay rise.
:07:04. > :07:06.Reform Jersey launched the online petition

:07:11. > :07:12.more than the flat line rate of ?46,000
:07:13. > :07:26.currently received by all politicians.
:07:27. > :07:31.Most politicians aren't worth the money they are paid because they
:07:32. > :07:34.don't act in the interest of ordinary islanders and our
:07:35. > :07:38.democratic system does not give the right level of accountability to
:07:39. > :07:41.politicians. If you are going to be a small, you should be held to
:07:42. > :07:47.account by the public more so I would be good any pay rise until the
:07:48. > :07:49.proper checks and balances included in our political system.
:07:50. > :07:51.Guernsey's biggest horse race could be cancelled this year.

:08:14. > :08:28.The event draws thousands of spectators
:08:29. > :08:38.Unless he can find people to help us with the course and financially,
:08:39. > :08:44.yes, there is a problem and it could be that they might have to run this
:08:45. > :08:45.race once every two years or something just to keep it going.
:08:46. > :08:52.The event draws thousands of spectators
:08:53. > :08:58.but rising costs are forcing the organisers to think again.
:08:59. > :09:04.It costs ?30,000 to host and the transport links are not helping.

:20:51. > :20:56.lamp all began when he found Over nearly three decades,
:20:57. > :21:00.he has put his heart and soul into restoring it,
:21:01. > :21:02.decorating it with symbols of love, All I know is I got carried away
:21:03. > :21:09.and, I think, anyway, I fell in love with the lamp
:21:10. > :21:12.by accident, and it controlled me Because I often say,
:21:13. > :21:17.why ever did I start? But having started,
:21:18. > :21:20.rather like in a romance, And it's fair to say
:21:21. > :21:29.that the Valentine gaslamp has a special place in many
:21:30. > :21:32.other people's hearts as well. I think you can't fault it,
:21:33. > :21:36.and I'm just hoping that people will take good care of it,
:21:37. > :21:39.because you won't find anything How many years have you been
:21:40. > :21:47.going to the ceremony? So it really does mean
:21:48. > :21:51.something to you? Yes, no, it does, and a lot of other
:21:52. > :21:54.people around here as well. None more so than Dave
:21:55. > :21:56.and Sue, Reg's daughter. It was here two years ago
:21:57. > :21:59.that I proposed to sue, It was here two years ago
:22:00. > :22:01.that I proposed to Sue, and they brought with me
:22:02. > :22:04.a heart-shaped red cushion and got down on one knee
:22:05. > :22:06.and popped the question. A great shock, but wonderful shock,
:22:07. > :22:09.and now we are planning to get married and live the rest
:22:10. > :22:11.of our lives together. We will always have that history
:22:12. > :22:14.with the Valentine lamp. But, with Reg growing older
:22:15. > :22:16.and with his family living up north, he is urgently looking for someone
:22:17. > :22:20.to replace him. You see, I am looking
:22:21. > :22:29.for a lamp lighter. Tonight, Reg has done
:22:30. > :22:41.the honours for the 23rd time. Many turned out for this Valentines
:22:42. > :22:43.tradition. Who knows? Maybe it will spark someone else to fall in love
:22:44. > :22:44.with it as well. Michel Ruminski, BBC
:22:45. > :22:53.Spotlight, Frome. Let's hope they keep that tradition
:22:54. > :22:57.going. I hate to spoil the romantic scene here, but there was a risk
:22:58. > :23:02.assessment had to be filled in for this lit candle and we have a man
:23:03. > :23:07.standing by, the editor, to put the candle out if it gets dangerous. But
:23:08. > :23:12.that spoils the romantic ambience. We need someone to fan the flames.
:23:13. > :23:15.Do not do that. It is time for the weather forecast. What is it looking
:23:16. > :23:23.like, Holly? Don't worry. Good. I thought you had
:23:24. > :23:31.left me out. I will say that to the end of the forecast. Yes, do not
:23:32. > :23:35.touch the candle. It is Valentines evening and how lovely. Happy
:23:36. > :23:40.Valentine's Day. Roses are red, violets are blue, and for some of us
:23:41. > :23:44.today the sky was to. Here in Cornwall, a lovely picture and
:23:45. > :23:48.springlike. For many of us it was more grave. Low cloud around and a
:23:49. > :23:52.bit of mist and hill fog as well as outbreaks of rain. And it gradually
:23:53. > :23:56.works its way eastwards and improves from the West. Amazingly, tomorrow,
:23:57. > :24:00.we do it again. Another weather front approaching with some styles
:24:01. > :24:05.of heavy rain in the morning. That rain could be quite lively but also
:24:06. > :24:10.possibly bringing thunder. Brighter in the afternoon, much like today,
:24:11. > :24:13.and a bit less breezy than today. This is the weather bug affecting as
:24:14. > :24:19.earlier and that pushes eastwards. You will see this next weather front
:24:20. > :24:23.waiting in the wings. That will go through to the second part of
:24:24. > :24:27.tonight into tomorrow, and it will clear and then higher pressure
:24:28. > :24:31.building its way in on Thursday. It will settle. Comes with a mist, but
:24:32. > :24:36.first I should break. Light winds, dryness, and brightness. That
:24:37. > :24:39.high-pressure doing its best but we have got a weather front
:24:40. > :24:42.approaching, and then it does start to bring you a bit more cloud and
:24:43. > :24:46.maybe just a little bit of rain. More so later in the day. This great
:24:47. > :24:50.stretch of cloud associated with our weather fronts and patchy rain
:24:51. > :24:55.underneath it. This cloud also quite low but it way eastwards. That rain
:24:56. > :24:58.is coming in from the West. Also these showers working their way
:24:59. > :25:03.towards us. That is the picture through this evening and tonight.
:25:04. > :25:07.Quite heavy showers working their way around midnight, and further
:25:08. > :25:11.ease some starry skies initially but some low cloudy mist and hill fog
:25:12. > :25:15.re-bonding. In the early hours some more persistent rain is working its
:25:16. > :25:18.way in across or more. Some odd rumbles of thunder but also a mild
:25:19. > :25:22.night with loads of seven or eight Celsius. Heading through tomorrow
:25:23. > :25:27.morning and a bed of a wet start. Rain could be heavy through the
:25:28. > :25:31.course of the morning. It worked its way eastwards, good news, becomes
:25:32. > :25:35.showery and those showers peel away. Some sunshine coming out. Quite a
:25:36. > :25:39.springlike look into tomorrow afternoon and the wind will be that
:25:40. > :25:43.bit lighter. Initially a brisk southerly but eases into the
:25:44. > :25:46.afternoon, I ran to the south-westerly. These are top
:25:47. > :25:53.temperatures. Height of ten or 11 Celsius. As high as 13 or 14
:25:54. > :25:58.Celsius, so not a bad look for things at all and much milder than
:25:59. > :26:03.we are used to operate the several recent days, especially last week
:26:04. > :26:06.into the weekend. For the Isles of Scilly, early heavy rain should nip
:26:07. > :26:09.through quickly during the morning and much of the day will have
:26:10. > :26:23.sunshine. The risk of some heavy showers. Not too many. Usual times
:26:24. > :26:28.of high water. For servers, the waves are not looking too big. It
:26:29. > :26:33.could be cleaned along the north coast I suspect at first, but went
:26:34. > :26:37.veering around to become choppy. -- file servers. Coastal waters
:26:38. > :26:42.forecast, Winter southerly at four or five, and using a late into the
:26:43. > :26:47.afternoon. Rain or showers visibility moderate or good and
:26:48. > :26:51.light but moderate at times. Overall, not looking too bad over
:26:52. > :26:54.the next few days. Although we have got a view things to watch out for,
:26:55. > :26:59.early rain through tomorrow morning and quite heavy and thundery. Could
:27:00. > :27:02.improve come the afternoon. There looking like the most promising day
:27:03. > :27:07.of the next view, with high pressure in charge and winds lighter than
:27:08. > :27:11.they have been. A bit of mist and fog early on should clear and then
:27:12. > :27:15.persistent sunshine on Thursday. Even though that high-pressure stays
:27:16. > :27:19.in charge for Friday, some cloud working in the risk of a bit more
:27:20. > :27:23.rain by day and perhaps more persistent rain into the evening.
:27:24. > :27:29.Into the weekend, I think it tries to stay settled, and a bit of rain
:27:30. > :27:34.but hopefully not too much. Generally a reasonable picture.
:27:35. > :27:40.You have not even have any fizz. Come and join us. This is for
:27:41. > :27:45.Valentines night. Thank you very much. Happy Valentine 's night. See
:27:46. > :28:15.you again tomorrow. Cheers. Cheers. Cheers.
