:01:37. > :01:38.the NSPCC, and now they're
:01:39. > :01:41.being introduced in Jersey. The one-to-one creative sessions
:01:42. > :01:43.are to help victims come to terms They may feel anxious, they may
:01:44. > :01:49.display negative behaviours, they may also hold a lot of anger,

:01:56. > :02:02.they've told us they've been able to sleep better,
:02:03. > :02:08.that they've not felt so aggressive. And it's a service that's
:02:09. > :02:11.needed in the island. There were 54 cases
:02:12. > :02:13.of sexual abuse of under-18s In the years since,
:02:14. > :02:18.the number's grown to around 70. That's a similar rate to the UK
:02:19. > :02:22.when compared with population size. The service is being
:02:23. > :02:24.funded by the Health and Social Services Department -
:02:25. > :02:26.?50,000 a year for With the findings of the inquiry
:02:27. > :02:32.into Jersey's care services due out this month, was that what prompted
:02:33. > :02:36.this new investment? I guess it was the catalyst
:02:37. > :02:38.to some extent. All of this has been partly
:02:39. > :02:40.about what we learnt reading the transcripts,
:02:41. > :02:46.listening to the inquiry. Rather than wait until the inquiry
:02:47. > :02:48.gives us their recommendations, we wanted to provide
:02:49. > :02:50.a better environment But before that, the department
:02:51. > :03:00.faces the issue of hiring a specialist social worker -

:03:36. > :03:38.Committee has responded saying substantial changes have been made
:03:39. > :03:40.in midwifery practices A code of conduct complaint made
:03:41. > :03:48.against three senior politicians The three deputies -
:03:49. > :03:52.Lyndon Trott, Mary Lowe and Paul Le Pelley -
:03:53. > :03:55.were accused of suggesting that Deputy Marc Leadbeater could not
:03:56. > :04:00.carry out his political responsibilities because
:04:01. > :04:03.he has a disabled son. The new chairwoman of
:04:04. > :04:06.the States Members' Conduct Panel - who has been in post for less
:04:07. > :04:09.than two days - says she's not satisfied there is sufficient
:04:10. > :04:15.evidence to support the complaints. A forensic medical examiner has told
:04:16. > :04:18.an attempted murder trial that if the victim's neck wound had been
:04:19. > :04:23.any deeper he would have died. Gerard Eamon Maguire denies
:04:24. > :04:26.the attempted murder of his friend Shaun Patrick Howard in the early
:04:27. > :04:29.hours of October the 30th Dr Virginia French told
:04:30. > :04:34.the Royal Court had Mr Howard's neck wound been deeper,
:04:35. > :04:36.he would not have "There's no such thing
:04:37. > :04:49.as an automatic pay rise". That's according to the head
:04:50. > :04:51.of a union representing It follows claims by the island's
:04:52. > :04:57.top politician that the States could save money by removing
:04:58. > :05:00.an automatic pay rise for employees. There are around 5,000 people
:05:01. > :05:07.working for the States of Guernsey. The island's most senior politician
:05:08. > :05:12.claims the States could save money by removing an automatic pay rise
:05:13. > :05:17.for civil servants. But the local civil servants
:05:18. > :05:19.association of Guernsey says "there's no such thing
:05:20. > :05:34.as an automatic pay rise". A job will be evaluated and it will
:05:35. > :05:38.be determined that the rate of that job it is, say, ?27,000 a year and
:05:39. > :05:42.what they do within the states is scaled back three or four implements
:05:43. > :05:46.backwards and so a new starter coming into that post will be
:05:47. > :05:51.started on ?25,000 per year and what will happen is over the years, as
:05:52. > :05:54.they gain knowledge and experience and qualifications, they will work
:05:55. > :06:01.their way up through steps back up to that ?27,000.
:06:02. > :06:02.The chief executive of the state has spent more than ?240 million on
:06:03. > :06:04.starting in 2015. He says pay rises have
:06:05. > :06:12.already been reigned in. Pay rises have been substantially
:06:13. > :06:15.controlled across the public sector and we have seen more two-year pay
:06:16. > :06:18.deals, which in real terms they have not been the increases as such.
:06:19. > :06:21.But when it's public money it's an issue that'll always be close
:06:22. > :06:30.E petitions could be introduced in Jersey -
:06:31. > :06:33.allowing people to have more of a say in the issues
:06:34. > :06:36.It's being suggested that online petitions could force
:06:37. > :06:40.a States debate if it attracting enough signatures.
:06:41. > :06:44.The system is popular in the UK - where recently more than a million
:06:45. > :06:46.people opposed a State Visit by the American President
:06:47. > :06:48.but in Jersey it's thought it could make politics
:06:49. > :06:58.I think we've seen a number of things recently in the Galaxy S4 we
:06:59. > :07:02.have talked about herself and it has not about the wider public of
:07:03. > :07:06.Jersey. We are as guilty of doing it as anyone else. If the people of
:07:07. > :07:10.Jersey are passionate and want us to be talking about something, that is
:07:11. > :07:12.what we are there to do. There's a drive to recruit more
:07:13. > :07:15.foster carers in Guernsey. The Family Placement Service says
:07:16. > :07:17.having a bigger pool of people to choose from helps make sure
:07:18. > :07:20.the most suitable home can be found. It's been holding drop in sessions
:07:21. > :07:23.at Beau Sejour today. We've spoken to those
:07:24. > :07:41.involved in fostering. Some families struggle to cope. They
:07:42. > :07:44.have a lot of pressures on them. Sometimes they are in poverty and
:07:45. > :07:47.health problems with substance misuse. Children come into foster
:07:48. > :07:51.care for a number of reasons and with that, they bring a lot of
:07:52. > :07:54.anxiety. They may bring some behaviours that foster carers need
:07:55. > :08:00.to understand and learn to deal with. The positive thing is
:08:01. > :08:02.fostering can really help children overcome some of those difficulties.
:08:03. > :08:11.There were a few challenges to begin with. But surprisingly, he settles
:08:12. > :08:19.very quick. To watch that child develop and become more confident,
:08:20. > :08:23.more outgoing, we are really enjoying it. It is really good fun.
:08:24. > :08:28.And he really makes you smile everyday. I think the people need to
:08:29. > :08:32.really care about children and be interested in their welfare. They
:08:33. > :08:36.need to be kind and thoughtful. They don't need to be perfect. They need
:08:37. > :08:41.to understand where a child is coming from and I think you have got
:08:42. > :08:44.to have a genuine, kind of, care and thought that things can get better
:08:45. > :08:50.for a child. If you are sitting on the fence, you have been thinking
:08:51. > :08:55.about it, as I had, for a very long time, you will not regret it. It is
:08:56. > :08:58.massively rewarding. It is just wonderful. We enjoy it so much. And
:08:59. > :09:00.wished we had done it earlier! Now you may have seen fictional
:09:01. > :09:03.characters come to life across the Channel Islands today -
:09:04. > :09:05.that is of course And you've been sending
:09:06. > :09:09.in your characters. Here's Beatrice dressed
:09:10. > :09:10.as Betty O'Barley Winter spent today as "Crazy Dave"
:09:11. > :09:17.from Plants vs Zombies - Lacey went with an animal theme
:09:18. > :09:30.for 101 D almations - where Poppy went with an aqua theme
:09:31. > :09:33.for the Singing Mermaid. And here's the whole
:09:34. > :09:35.of Les Landes primary school enjoying World Book Day -
:09:36. > :09:38.and even some of the staff joined in the fun as Snow White
:09:39. > :09:40.and Mrs Trunchbull from Matilda. I was trying to think
:09:41. > :09:45.who you could have been, David, I came up with Raymond
:09:46. > :09:58.Briggs' Snowman. I love your costume, by the way,
:09:59. > :10:02.that is brilliant! Lets have a look at the forecast for the next couple
:10:03. > :10:06.of days. We are going to see lots of rain in the forecast. Welcome for
:10:07. > :10:09.some. I am sure the reservoirs will appreciate some rain, but if you are
:10:10. > :10:14.out and about not to welcome at all. Rather cloudy. Some showers, if not
:10:15. > :10:16.longer spells of rain. A little but milder if you're out working in the
:10:17. > :10:39.feel. Temperatures a little higher than they have of cloud on the
:10:40. > :10:42.sideline, two land is approaching. One will merge with the other and
:10:43. > :10:45.these two combined to form an area of low pressure eventually. As one
:10:46. > :10:47.line of rain comes up from the south and develops into an area of low
:10:48. > :10:50.pressure, sat pretty close by for Friday and whistles on Saturday as
:10:51. > :10:52.well. Saturday, I think, will see some sunshine and a few showers
:10:53. > :10:54.dotted around. Not many this evening but later on tonight," and from the
:10:55. > :10:57.side. That is already apparent across northern part of France.
:10:58. > :10:59.Producing outbreaks of rain as a whole lot will move northwards. Try
:11:00. > :11:01.for a time, increasingly cloudy and later on this evening, the wet
:11:02. > :11:03.weather will turn up. Accompanying that, strong south-easterly winds
:11:04. > :11:06.and overnight temperatures no lower than 6 degrees. Spots of rain in the
:11:07. > :11:09.morning tomorrow, briefly some brightness, maybe a few walls and
:11:10. > :11:14.the cloud to let the sunshine in every now and again. Later in the
:11:15. > :11:17.day, the showers will return. 11 or 12 degrees will be maximum
:11:18. > :11:22.temperature and brisk winds from the south and south-west. Using with the
:11:23. > :11:32.second half of the day. They are as our times of high water. And for our
:11:33. > :11:36.showers, most of the beaches protected from a cyber
:11:37. > :11:39.south-easterly wind will actually be clean, so not too bad. When the
:11:40. > :11:49.southerly, eventually veering south westerly. Degreasing four, rain at
:11:50. > :11:52.times, moderate disability. That is the forecast as the two Saturday and
:11:53. > :11:56.sunny. A few showers dotted around, brisk winds from the West and those
:11:57. > :11:59.showers likely to be quite heavy. Temperatures holding up, perhaps a
:12:00. > :12:03.little bit holder at night-time, funding made and also Monday night,
:12:04. > :12:06.as the showers tend to fade when you get some clear skies. On the whole,
:12:07. > :12:10.and unsettled picture for the next four or five days and that unsettled
:12:11. > :12:14.theme continues into the early part of next week. Alison.
:12:15. > :12:17.David, thank you ever much. That is it from the team in the Channel

:12:26. > :12:28.And it appears people from Plymouth are dumping
:12:29. > :12:31.their rubbish in Cornwall - evidence found in the waste has
:12:32. > :12:33.sparked an investigation which Cornwall Council hopes
:12:34. > :12:35.will end in prosecution and a heavy fine.
:12:36. > :12:50.Throughout the year thousands of people across the Tamar to seek out
:12:51. > :12:54.those hidden corners of Cornwall which promise natural beauty and
:12:55. > :12:59.tranquillity. Others are doing it to dump rubbish illegally. I think it's
:13:00. > :13:04.disgusting. Someone has taken the rubbish and just dump it in an area
:13:05. > :13:12.of outstanding natural beauty and its utter laziness. Dumped along the
:13:13. > :13:17.coast road is a spoil which holds hidden treasures. The sort of James
:13:18. > :13:23.which Cornwall Council investigators delight in finding. A letterhead,
:13:24. > :13:28.maybe a bill, certainly evidence revealing it has come from an
:13:29. > :13:34.address in Plymouth. I feel even sadder that someone has taken the
:13:35. > :13:39.time to drive out from Plymouth, find somewhere secluded and this was
:13:40. > :13:42.tipped during the night we believe. There are recycling centres in
:13:43. > :13:48.Plymouth as well as the one they virtually drove past in Saltash. The
:13:49. > :13:55.audacity of the act has sparked anger. It is appalling. They could
:13:56. > :13:59.go to a municipal tip or get rid of it in the proper way, I don't see
:14:00. > :14:02.why they have to come over the border and do it here. It makes me
:14:03. > :14:07.wonder if they have the facilities to get rid of it in Devon, to make
:14:08. > :14:11.that ever to come over the border into Cornwall to do it. People
:14:12. > :14:15.travel a long way to save a bit of money, that is why they are
:14:16. > :14:18.criminals, they are commercial, they are thieves, stealing from the
:14:19. > :14:23.public purse and every single council taxpayer because those
:14:24. > :14:27.things have to be cleared up. In a statement Cornwall Council says it
:14:28. > :14:31.is not only unsightly but costs the council thousands of pounds each
:14:32. > :14:34.year to clear up the mess. We will continue to respond, investigate and
:14:35. > :14:41.where evidence is found we will take appropriate enforcement action. Once
:14:42. > :14:44.cherished, now discarded by the roadside. There would have been no
:14:45. > :14:47.charge to take these toys to the tip.
:14:48. > :14:49.A commercial recycling waste centre faces demolition tonight
:14:50. > :14:53.after being severely damaged by fire.
:14:54. > :14:55.At its peak a hundred firefighters tackled the blaze
:14:56. > :15:10.All the ingredients needed for a devastating fire, paper, cardboard,
:15:11. > :15:19.plastic, each week hundreds of tonnes of business waste came to
:15:20. > :15:24.this recycling plant. Tucked away on one side, an electricity substation,
:15:25. > :15:28.one of three helping power the industrial estate. Little wonder the
:15:29. > :15:35.emergency services were not taking any chances. At its height it was
:15:36. > :15:38.approximately about 100 firefighters, three hydraulic
:15:39. > :15:43.platforms, and support appliances. The alarm was raised just before 11
:15:44. > :15:47.o'clock last night, the intense heat caused the steel panel building to
:15:48. > :15:52.collapse in on itself as it is designed to do. But it meant
:15:53. > :15:55.hotspots kept flaring up. It is well over 12 hours but there are still
:15:56. > :16:00.pockets of flames are popping up in and around the building. The area
:16:01. > :16:04.was blanketed in smoke but the owners of the plant, on-site for
:16:05. > :16:11.five years, said it did not deal hazardous waste. Only office type
:16:12. > :16:19.waste, we do not deal with hazardous waste here. Any hazardous waste goes
:16:20. > :16:25.to other places. But yes, General office recycling, paper, cardboard,
:16:26. > :16:29.plastics, whatever. The damage has been put out millions but nobody was
:16:30. > :16:35.hurt and the 90 or so staff will work from other sites. A 15 strong
:16:36. > :16:38.fleet of waste trucks was saved, this one had to be pulled free by a
:16:39. > :16:45.recovery truck with an uncompromising name. Another
:16:46. > :16:47.building in Exeter destroyed by fire.
:16:48. > :16:50.The Environment Agency says erosion at Dawlish Warren has worsened
:16:51. > :16:53.since it began its multi million pound scheme to improve coastal
:16:54. > :16:58.But it says the beach should return to its former glory by the end
:16:59. > :17:02.of the summer and be less vulnerable to rising sea levels and storms.

:17:04. > :17:19.Dawlish Warren is not looking at its best at the moment. In fact some
:17:20. > :17:23.local people say it has never looked worse. That's not surprising because
:17:24. > :17:28.the Environment Agency is only part way through a multi-million pound
:17:29. > :17:31.project to secure the long-term future of the area. The aim of the

:17:40. > :17:47.eye on progress. I wondered what they were doing, sandbags, stones,
:17:48. > :17:51.rocks. We always said if they moved the stones they would lose the Junes
:17:52. > :17:57.which they found they had done which is why we have sandbags up. They
:17:58. > :18:03.have been taking these baskets full of rocks and replacing them with
:18:04. > :18:08.bags full of sand. In the end they aim to reach the beast level.
:18:09. > :18:13.Whether Junes are at their most vulnerable and narrow the aim is to
:18:14. > :18:17.stabilise the sand with what experts College YouTube. It's about like a
:18:18. > :18:21.giant sausage fed deep into the sea facing edge of the Warren and
:18:22. > :18:28.inflated with a mix of sand and water. The water fades away to leave
:18:29. > :18:31.a concrete like structure. For now the Environment Agency are still
:18:32. > :18:41.persuading people it is doing the right thing. Other than extra sand?
:18:42. > :18:45.Recent storms, in recent years, more than a thousand cubic metres of sand
:18:46. > :18:49.have been lost in the last 18 months. Sand levels dropping by a
:18:50. > :18:55.metre in all the last few weeks so at the moment visitors will see it
:18:56. > :18:58.at its worst. The white bags people see our temporary, they are coming
:18:59. > :19:01.out in the next couple of months as we remove the old stones and
:19:02. > :19:08.subsequently replace a large amount of sand. The Environment Agency says
:19:09. > :19:12.by some things should look much better at Dawlish Warren. It plans
:19:13. > :19:16.to import huge quantities of sand from just off shore to recharge the
:19:17. > :19:17.beach and then natural forces will be harnessed to help protect the
:19:18. > :19:20.sand dunes. Children from across the South West

:20:33. > :20:35.read? I read at night when I am in bed and cannot sleep. When you first
:20:36. > :20:40.read a book you just read it and when you get to the end you feel you

:21:04. > :21:07.tablet. There has been research recently that children are moving

:21:17. > :21:20.A recent study by the National literacy trust shows more children
:21:21. > :21:24.and young people than ever are now reading for enjoyment. Evidence
:21:25. > :21:30.suggests youngsters who read for one day lead to better in reading tests,
:21:31. > :21:35.have broader vocabulary and better general knowledge. All very good
:21:36. > :21:39.reasons to snuggle down with a book at bedtime. Part of what we believe
:21:40. > :21:43.is that reading before bed can reduce anxiety, it's a lovely way to
:21:44. > :21:50.go off to sleep and it's the perfect time to get kids to sneak 30 minutes
:21:51. > :21:57.of reading in. I like to read at bedtime and of course in school. I
:21:58. > :22:03.read every night, like half an hour in the evening, just before I go to
:22:04. > :22:11.sleep. What makes you want to do that? It comes me down before I go
:22:12. > :22:18.to bed. Or you cannot help that, said the cat, we are all mad here.
:22:19. > :22:22.So come snow after fire and even dragons have their endings.

:22:29. > :22:32.Nothing like a good book. A book at bedtime. Let's see what the
:22:33. > :22:44.weather's story is tonight. The storm cat is coming, if you know
:22:45. > :22:49.that story. Good evening, blustery conditions, rain in the forecast as
:22:50. > :22:54.well. I think tomorrow it's a different day, sunshine today, a few
:22:55. > :22:58.isolated showers, most of us dry. Tomorrow rather cloudy, it will be a
:22:59. > :23:02.bit milder, there will be rain at times and some of it quite heavy. It
:23:03. > :23:07.will arrive overnight tonight and be with us for a good part of the day.
:23:08. > :23:10.This is why, this area of low pressure, weather fronts wrapped
:23:11. > :23:14.around it which means more rain as we move through the day. Perhaps
:23:15. > :23:19.drier conditions on Saturday although the risk of showers and
:23:20. > :23:24.more rain returning on Sunday as this weather front moves across the
:23:25. > :23:28.south-west of England. Also becoming windy on Sunday with the winds
:23:29. > :23:35.becoming north-westerly again. Drawing in slightly colder air,
:23:36. > :23:39.avail of cloud has arrived and thicker cloud approaching from the
:23:40. > :23:43.South which will produce more persistent rain. For a time dry and
:23:44. > :23:48.then here comes the wet weather, around midnight or just after we
:23:49. > :23:50.will get a bit of rain as it moves through, turning showery by morning
:23:51. > :23:55.and with all the cloud and breeze from the Southeast I don't think
:23:56. > :24:00.temperatures will fall much below 67 degrees. Tomorrow we have a rather
:24:01. > :24:03.cloudy day, rather wet day, I of rain off and on throughout the
:24:04. > :24:13.morning, perhaps briefly at lunchtime holes in the cloud but not
:24:14. > :24:15.a great deal of that to look forward to, the rain returns to the
:24:16. > :24:18.afternoon. The breeze will be lively in the morning and ease in the
:24:19. > :24:24.afternoon. Some good news, temperature slightly higher than
:24:25. > :24:33.they have been despite the rain. This is the forecast for the Isles
:24:34. > :24:37.of Scilly. Cloud, breezy and outbreaks of rain. Time is of high
:24:38. > :24:56.water for the ports and harbours. For the surfers, most of the beach
:24:57. > :24:59.is likely to be a bit messy, particularly along the south coast.
:25:00. > :25:04.The north Coast some sheltered areas which could be usable but still
:25:05. > :25:13.quite big waves, between four and eight feet depending on which way
:25:14. > :25:21.the beach faces. The winds quite gusty, from the South South West,
:25:22. > :25:25.rain at times with moderate to good visibility. The outlook is for us to
:25:26. > :25:31.see showers on Saturday and Sunday and some of them also quite heavy.
:25:32. > :25:35.Not a lot of cheer in the forecast and notice the temperatures, we
:25:36. > :25:40.start at 11 on Friday but by Monday and Tuesday of next week back down
:25:41. > :25:44.to seven or eight so despite the fact we are into spring temperatures
:25:45. > :25:48.are not responding. Just a little bit of sunshine does help things.
:25:49. > :25:51.You have been seeing all these weather pictures and if you want to
:25:52. > :25:59.get involved in the programme there is a website you can go to. BBC .co
:26:00. > :26:01..uk/ weather watchers. And to those already involved, thank you for your
:26:02. > :26:05.pictures. And on World Book day that's
:26:06. > :26:10.where our story draws to a close. But we'll leave you with some
