:00:00. > :00:00.Good evening, I'm Charlie McArdle welcome to BBC Channel Islands.
:00:00. > :00:10.These are Tuesday's headlines: Counting the cost of fog.
:00:11. > :00:13.While passengers face delays, Aurigny say it's costing them up
:00:14. > :00:29.Snares found on public parkland that could injure pets.
:00:30. > :00:33.To the early 18th century and is quite frankly in this day and age a
:00:34. > :00:34.barbaric thing. Plus, the Ice Maiden's hoping
:00:35. > :00:51.to become the first all-female group For the poor visibility are along
:00:52. > :00:53.the island. Will we see poor weather later in the week? I will have the
:00:54. > :01:09.details later. Stranded passengers
:01:10. > :01:13.providing the boost. And for some the delay is just
:01:14. > :01:16.the beginning of a long journey. It was a similar story in Jersey
:01:17. > :01:22.where the fog's been been doing a well roaring trade
:01:23. > :01:26.over the last few days. Stranded passengers
:01:27. > :01:27.providing the boost. And for some the delay is just
:01:28. > :01:36.the beginning of a long journey. I'm going to London because I have
:01:37. > :01:41.got a transatlantic flight booked to go and see my parents because my
:01:42. > :01:46.father's not very well. It has all been delayed, so I have had to
:01:47. > :01:48.rebook my transatlantic flight was that costs money and I'm still not
:01:49. > :01:57.guaranteed to get off today. Are waiting. I had to book more holidays
:01:58. > :02:04.work, as well. Is this your first visit to Guernsey? Yes. What you
:02:05. > :02:09.think of the Apple's capability to deal with fog? Not very good at the
:02:10. > :02:14.moment. Just rang to get a flight is really difficult. It is not their
:02:15. > :02:19.fault, they are trying their best, but definitely I think the state
:02:20. > :02:20.should be focusing on this issue. It was a similar story in Jersey
:02:21. > :02:23.where the fog's been But it's not just the passengers
:02:24. > :02:26.feeling the pain. Airlines can't insure
:02:27. > :02:28.themselves against fog as it's For a company like Aurigny,
:02:29. > :02:33.the fog's been costing them up Aurigny says it's looking
:02:34. > :02:40.at thermal-imaging technology to try and improve its chances of landing
:02:41. > :02:50.and taking off in foggy conditions. In simple terms, it is a headset
:02:51. > :02:56.that the pilot wears. There is a pilot on the nose of the aircraft
:02:57. > :02:59.which looks through the frog and -- fog and improves our success rate by
:03:00. > :03:01.a factor of half. There are things happening.
:03:02. > :03:04.But another piece of equipment that could minimise fog disruption,
:03:05. > :03:09.The Civil Aviation Authority has told me today that a system called
:03:10. > :03:12.Egnos which uses satellites to cut through the fog should be up
:03:13. > :03:19.and running in Guernsey by the summer at the latest.
:03:20. > :03:21.Illegal, dangerous and a risk to dogs.
:03:22. > :03:25.The recent discovery of three snare traps in a popular walking area
:03:26. > :03:27.in Jersey has sparked warnings to dog owners.
:03:28. > :03:30.But it's the sophistication of these latest devices that has caused real
:03:31. > :03:34.safety concern as Emma Chambers reports.
:03:35. > :03:38.They are used to catch food and vermin.
:03:39. > :03:42.But today they are being described as archaic and inhumane
:03:43. > :03:48.after the discovery of three snares in this area of St Ouen.
:03:49. > :03:52.You can see the long grass is a haven for dogs to run in.
:03:53. > :03:55.The parish centennier showed me where they were found.
:03:56. > :03:58.He says they are illegal in this parkland, but its the way
:03:59. > :04:03.the traps were planted that's worried him the most.
:04:04. > :04:06.We found two, two of these which are more lethal
:04:07. > :04:09.than the original ones we found six months ago.
:04:10. > :04:12.The difference between the snares is that one is stubby wooden
:04:13. > :04:17.pushed into the sand, and it will come out very easily.
:04:18. > :04:24.This one is totally different - long, you can see how long it is -
:04:25. > :04:28.and what will happen is a rabbit or dog or whatever animal
:04:29. > :04:31.is will go along, he'll go in through there and that will pull
:04:32. > :04:37.We are surprised and very disappointed.
:04:38. > :04:42.This is a great dog walking area, these things are dangerous to dogs
:04:43. > :04:46.and we just didn't expect to ever see them again but they are here.
:04:47. > :04:52.The JSPCA is now calling for an outright ban of all snares,
:04:53. > :04:54.not just the self-tightening devices and those on protected land.
:04:55. > :04:57.There's many other methods to catch wild animals that can be caught
:04:58. > :05:00.for food such as rabbits and wood pigeons and then of course
:05:01. > :05:03.there is vermin as well which does have to be controlled -
:05:04. > :05:06.I recognise that but equally there are many other methods you can
:05:07. > :05:09.use rather than something that comes from the early 18th century
:05:10. > :05:13.and is quite honestly in the 21st century a barbaric method to do.
:05:14. > :05:15.The environment department say they are assessing the law.
:05:16. > :05:19.We do follow international best practise, self-locking snares
:05:20. > :05:25.are banned with the bird convection, sliding snares aren't and we do need
:05:26. > :05:29.discussion in the department to see what we are going to do about it.
:05:30. > :05:31.But until that happens, officials are relying on islanders
:05:32. > :05:45.Especially those that shouldn't be used on Jersey's protected reserves.
:05:46. > :05:48.The Court of Arbitration for Sport will this summer rule
:05:49. > :05:50.on whether Jersey's bid to join the football governing body Uefa
:05:51. > :05:53.should be considered by existing member nations.
:05:54. > :05:56.The Jersey FA wants the island to be given international status -
:05:57. > :05:59.it's currently run like a county, affiliated to the English FA.
:06:00. > :06:03.Last year, Uefa officials rejected the application,
:06:04. > :06:07.arguing the island isn't recognised as an independent state.
:06:08. > :06:11.But Jersey believe their bid should at least be put
:06:12. > :06:17.Same-sex marriages could take place in Guernsey as early as May.
:06:18. > :06:21.The law will be reviewed early next month, before being ratified
:06:22. > :06:26.If approved, it could come into effect on the 2nd of May,
:06:27. > :06:29.though couples would need a special licence which takes

:06:38. > :06:40.The collection of watches, chains, and rings have been in storage
:06:41. > :06:44.at the police station for over three years.
:06:45. > :06:47.Most of the time, the police can reunite owners with their lost
:06:48. > :06:51.or stolen property but that hasn't been the case with this jewellery.
:06:52. > :06:54.Jersey Hospice will sell it to raise money to provide care
:06:55. > :06:59.A woman from Guernsey is part of a team of soldiers hoping
:07:00. > :07:05.to become the first all-female group to cross Antarctica unaided.
:07:06. > :07:08.They are currently doing their final training in a remote part of Norway
:07:09. > :07:21.their 17,000-hundred kilometre journey at the Leverett Glacier.
:07:22. > :07:23.The first leg will see them reach the South Pole,
:07:24. > :07:25.where they will re-supply, before heading onwards
:07:26. > :07:28.The expedition of the Ice Maidens as they've called themselves,
:07:29. > :07:30.will test whether women soldiers can endure the same extreme

:07:46. > :07:47.and hoping to be among them is Lance Corporal Rin

:08:13. > :08:15.about exactly what it will take to sustain a group of women
:08:16. > :08:17.through an expedition like this. So one of the goals is to collect
:08:18. > :08:21.medical data that will show how the female body copes
:08:22. > :08:22.with extreme environments. But there will also be more
:08:23. > :08:24.personal considerations, especially when they're on the march

:09:42. > :09:46.will leave the Reds at the end of the season.
:09:47. > :09:49.The South African is joining the current Premiership
:09:50. > :09:58.Kerrod has been with the club since the start of last year.
:09:59. > :10:04.A day of fog. A window of opportunity opened up. It is
:10:05. > :10:10.beginning to seem like Groundhog Day. Same question, night after
:10:11. > :10:14.night. We still getting fog? Yes. Hold on in there for one more day.
:10:15. > :10:19.It is beginning to feel like Groundhog Day for me. A lot of fog
:10:20. > :10:24.talk. Tomorrow will be cloudy, but the breeze will pick up. That will
:10:25. > :10:29.lift the cloud and a few places, but I doubt we will see much sunshine.
:10:30. > :10:35.Rowell westerly breeze, that will pick up the cloud bases. I think
:10:36. > :10:40.towards the tail end of the day, we will see a bit of light rain.
:10:41. > :10:44.Thursday, it is all change. Here is storm Doris. The main impact of this
:10:45. > :10:48.storm will be across northern parts of the United Kingdom. For the
:10:49. > :10:54.island, we will see heavy rain in the middle of the day. Gusts into
:10:55. > :10:59.the little of the afternoon. 40 or 50 mph gusts. At the moment, poor
:11:00. > :11:06.visibility. The breeze picks up overnight. That should shift some of
:11:07. > :11:10.the low cloud and places. These are the temperatures you should expect
:11:11. > :11:14.by day. Around eight or 9 degrees. A similar start the day tomorrow.
:11:15. > :11:18.Grey, low cloud, Miss. Without breeze, it will tend to pick up in
:11:19. > :11:22.places, so perhaps not as dense as today. Into the afternoon, we will
:11:23. > :11:26.start to see that weather fronts making its presence known. For
:11:27. > :11:32.Guernsey, that rainbow push into the tail end of the day. Temperatures up
:11:33. > :11:40.to ten or 11 degrees. That fact that rain will. Not a good deal of surf,
:11:41. > :11:46.Maine in the west with the wind is picking up. The waves will pick up,
:11:47. > :11:51.too. On the coastlines, poor visibility. Some drizzle, fog
:11:52. > :11:54.patches, as those west, south-westerly patches pick up. Some
:11:55. > :11:57.back have bought shifting places. Tomorrow, some of the last of the
:11:58. > :12:06.mild days are a couple of days. Starting off gay, is -- grey but we
:12:07. > :12:10.could see gale forced gusts. It does quieten down on Friday. Light winds
:12:11. > :12:14.but we should see more in the way of sunshine. Thank you. We say hello to
:12:15. > :12:25.Friday fog -- fog. Before we go, a reminder of our top story
:12:26. > :12:28.in the Channel Islands tonight. That's the cost of fog to one
:12:29. > :12:31.Channel Island airline. Aurigny has confirmed today that
:12:32. > :12:34.paying for hotels and food for stranded passengers
:12:35. > :12:36.as well as a loss of revenue If you have missed anything you can
:12:37. > :12:41.watch today's bulletins on the iplayer and your local radio
:12:42. > :12:43.stations will have hourly We're back at eight with an update
:12:44. > :12:51.and then again at 10:25. Stay with us for the animated
:12:52. > :12:55.version of Archie the Fire dog. And later news of a
:12:56. > :12:57.change in the weather. Well, Storm Doris has been named
:12:58. > :13:00.but what impact will it have on the south-west when it
:13:01. > :13:03.hit us on Thursday? I'll have all the details
:13:04. > :13:12.later in the programme. A woman from Devon has
:13:13. > :13:15.described a simple wooden Sally Morgan has multiple sclerosis
:13:16. > :13:21.and hasn't been able to stand She is now able to be upright
:13:22. > :13:26.for around an hour a day. The frame isn't universally
:13:27. > :13:29.available on the NHS, but now academics at Plymouth University
:13:30. > :13:32.are leading a trial to assess Our health correspondent
:13:33. > :13:42.Jenny Walrond has more. It's a simple but sturdy frame
:13:43. > :13:44.and for Sally Morgan it She has multiple sclerosis
:13:45. > :13:48.and hasn't been able to stand up for Sally has been taking
:13:49. > :13:53.part in a study run by Plymouth University, looking
:13:54. > :13:57.at whether the standing frame is effective in helping people
:13:58. > :14:02.improve their strength. Oh, it's revolutionised my life,
:14:03. > :14:05.really, I would say. Obviously, when you are sedentary,
:14:06. > :14:07.when you are sat down most of the time, all
:14:08. > :14:09.your muscles contract. Whereas now the muscles
:14:10. > :14:13.behind my knees and my quads in my legs, all my those types of things
:14:14. > :14:18.have suddenly become more stretched and my upper body strength has
:14:19. > :14:21.improved and it is freeing up The frames have been made
:14:22. > :14:25.by a family firm for some time. They cost around ?500
:14:26. > :14:29.but, in order to get them commissioned on the NHS,
:14:30. > :14:32.academics must prove that they are effective in improving things
:14:33. > :14:36.such as core strength We are hoping to find out,
:14:37. > :14:40.firstly, to see whether this intervention is effective,
:14:41. > :14:42.because without that kind of evidence then we are unable to often
:14:43. > :14:47.provide this kind of equipment because we need evidence to
:14:48. > :14:51.demonstrate to commissioners of care who purchase these kind of aides
:14:52. > :14:56.and equipment to see whether it is relevant for people and whether it
:14:57. > :14:59.does make a difference to their lives and whether it
:15:00. > :15:01.is cost-effective. For Sally and her husband Matt
:15:02. > :15:04.the change has been obvious. Her legs are less swollen,
:15:05. > :15:08.she is now able to stand for about an hour, and finds it easier
:15:09. > :15:11.to transition from her Well, it's been amazing for Sally -
:15:12. > :15:18.it really has transformed her life. Dealing with MS on a day-to-day
:15:19. > :15:20.basis was really tough for both of us, but it has
:15:21. > :15:25.made her physically more positive, she feels she is able to do
:15:26. > :15:29.more, much more. The trial is ongoing
:15:30. > :15:33.and still needs more volunteers. If the results show that others
:15:34. > :15:36.benefit as Sally has, this could become
:15:37. > :15:43.available on the NHS. There are details about that study
:15:44. > :15:47.on our BBC Spotlight facebook page. You don't have to be a member
:15:48. > :15:51.of facebook to find them. Now a quick round up of some
:15:52. > :15:55.of the other stories tonight An official site built to house
:15:56. > :15:57.travellers at a Devon beauty Teignbridge Council wants
:15:58. > :16:01.to build three more units at the Haldon Ridge

:16:22. > :16:25.at Taunton Library. People are being asked
:16:26. > :16:27.for their views on scrapping free deckchairs for the over 60s

:16:32. > :16:34.Council says scrapping the free pass for those who live in the borough
:16:35. > :16:38.would save ?5,000 a year. The deckchairs have been free

:16:45. > :16:46.Thistlecrack that was favourite to win this year's Cheltenham Gold Cup

:17:00. > :17:02.life, but now communal living is becoming increasingly popular
:17:03. > :17:07.among older people. It's known as co-housing
:17:08. > :17:09.and involves residents living in smaller properties and sharing
:17:10. > :17:21.a kitchen, dining area The idea may help to ease the
:17:22. > :17:25.growing pressure on housing and could be rolled out across the
:17:26. > :17:28.south-west. A number of sites have already been earmarked. Our reporter
:17:29. > :17:31.has been to one scheme in Dorset to see how it works.

:18:07. > :18:09.Actually, what this was very important for me was
:18:10. > :18:10.that my son stopped worrying about me,
:18:11. > :18:12.because he knew there were lots
:18:13. > :18:14.of people around who would look out for me.
:18:15. > :18:17.It's sending a message, really, to other people that these things
:18:18. > :18:20.can be done and sustainability is not
:18:21. > :18:24.just about the green aspects and the environment, it's about people
:18:25. > :18:28.living together within a sustainable community.
:18:29. > :18:30.Co-housing is a microcosm of humanity.
:18:31. > :18:35.You have exactly the same issues that any group of people
:18:36. > :18:37.have, it's just that it's an intentional community,
:18:38. > :18:40.so we intend to make the effort to get on with
:18:41. > :18:44.each other and do things together and enjoy life together.
:18:45. > :18:45.According to the most recent figures, there
:18:46. > :18:48.are 7 million single person houses have sold in the UK.
:18:49. > :18:51.And we although about the shortage in housing
:18:52. > :18:54.Well, here in Bridport, 40 miles away from the Threshold Centre, one
:18:55. > :18:57.local group are hoping another co-housing scheme can help to

:19:04. > :19:07.It is now growing in popularity with other schemes near
:19:08. > :19:12.In Bridport, they are now confident work will begin here in the spring.
:19:13. > :19:16.We are looking at the sort of lives we want to live in the future and
:19:17. > :19:19.the constraints we may face on our lives in the future, and I think
:19:20. > :19:22.that co-housing will answer many of them
:19:23. > :19:25.because it is flexible and
:19:26. > :19:29.people can have as little or as much company as they need.
:19:30. > :19:31.I suppose a real hermit would need somewhere
:19:32. > :19:32.else, you know, they wouldn't like it.
:19:33. > :19:37.But for most people there are benefits.

:24:01. > :24:06.that could lift the cloud in places. A largely great, damp day. You can
:24:07. > :24:10.see we have a fair amount of cloud across much of the UK. We haven't
:24:11. > :24:15.had much in a way of sunshine. It is all tied in with this weather front.
:24:16. > :24:22.We are on the southern side of it so we have fairly warm, moist air but
