:00:17. > :00:20.years, the remains of a Jersey man who went missing on Christmas Eve
:00:21. > :00:25.have been found off the west coast. Tilly everyone is shocked when that
:00:26. > :00:29.sort of thing happens. It is quite pleasing I think for his family that
:00:30. > :00:31.there can be some sort of closure when his remains are found.
:00:32. > :00:34.No longer value for money - creche facilities at
:00:35. > :00:37.And, a scheme to help Guernsey prisoners connect
:00:38. > :00:42.with their children proves very popular.
:00:43. > :00:50.Due to me being in prison, I can't be there for my daughter as much as
:00:51. > :00:54.I would like to be, so I try to do anything I can while I am here.
:00:55. > :00:59.And we certainly had a good helping of rain today but we have changes to
:01:00. > :01:01.come over the next few days. Find out how they will play out later in
:01:02. > :01:08.the programme. Human remains found off the coast
:01:09. > :01:10.of Jersey have been confirmed as belonging to an islander who went
:01:11. > :01:14.missing two and a half years ago. 61-year-old Roy Deeming disappeared
:01:15. > :01:17.over Christmas in 2014, when his yacht was found
:01:18. > :01:20.drifting off Corbiere. Here off the coast of Corbiere
:01:21. > :01:26.is where the last known clues as to what happened to Roy Deeming
:01:27. > :01:30.were found more than two years ago. And it's the sea off the west
:01:31. > :01:35.of the island where a local diver found remains of body parts that
:01:36. > :01:38.have now been confirmed by forensic The 61-year-old disappeared
:01:39. > :01:42.from his St Brelade home His yacht, Desiree, was towed
:01:43. > :01:48.to shore by Jersey Coastguard after being found empty
:01:49. > :01:51.a mile off Corbiere. Despite searches and appeals,
:01:52. > :01:54.Mr Deeming was never found. The news has been met
:01:55. > :02:03.with shock in St Aubin, where he was well-known
:02:04. > :02:06.and well-liked in the community. A keen sailor, he was
:02:07. > :02:15.often in and out of this He was a very easy-going sort of
:02:16. > :02:21.guy. He had done a bit of gardening, a bit of boat walk work, quite an
:02:22. > :02:26.easy chat to get on with. He was a part of the fabric of the town over
:02:27. > :02:28.the years and we had all got very used to him.
:02:29. > :02:30.The police say aren't treating the death as suspicious,
:02:31. > :02:32.but are continuing enquiries with the Deputy Viscount
:02:33. > :02:35.about the possibility of sending out divers for further searches at sea.
:02:36. > :02:40.They say officers are continuing to support Mr Deeming's family.
:02:41. > :02:42.Creche facilities at Guernsey's largest leisure centre are to close
:02:43. > :02:45.as part of moves to reduce costs and make way for
:02:46. > :02:50.The Beau Sejour creche escaped closure four years ago
:02:51. > :02:53.when a campaign by users forced a u-turn by the States.
:02:54. > :02:56.But politicians now say it's no longer value for money,
:02:57. > :03:03.It's a busy leisure centre with thousands of islanders making
:03:04. > :03:08.But it seems fewer and fewer are using the creche,
:03:09. > :03:11.with declining numbers making it costly to run, at a time
:03:12. > :03:16.It is significantly loss-making, and obviously it's subsidised
:03:17. > :03:21.To give you an indication, if we were to actually increase
:03:22. > :03:27.the price per hour would probably be in the region of ?12 per hour and
:03:28. > :03:29.when you look at the cost of childcare anyway,
:03:30. > :03:33.we wouldn't be able to raise our prices that much.
:03:34. > :03:38.Staff only found out yesterday and say they're
:03:39. > :03:43.But the committee responsible says the space is needed for services
:03:44. > :03:46.for people with medical conditions or recovering from other
:03:47. > :03:50.health issues, which are, in contrast, growing in demand.
:03:51. > :03:54.We have to try and balance what's best for the community.
:03:55. > :03:56.We have an ageing population and the LifeFit requirement
:03:57. > :04:00.and referrals from doctors and health and social services
:04:01. > :04:04.to Beau Sejour to help maintain healthy lifestyle and also recover
:04:05. > :04:09.from things like heart attacks grew 28% last year.
:04:10. > :04:16.As medical health services begin to overlap with physical and mental
:04:17. > :04:17.fitness and wellbeing, it's clear there's
:04:18. > :04:20.a need for facilities like these to be expanded.
:04:21. > :04:23.But, for the staff and users of the creche, it's another example
:04:24. > :04:28.of where cuts in public spending are being felt by islanders.
:04:29. > :04:31.Guernsey's government has been told the States-owned airline Aurigny
:04:32. > :04:34.is on course to make a ?6.3 million loss if current trends continue.
:04:35. > :04:38.Declining passenger numbers, bad weather, crew costs,
:04:39. > :04:43.exchange rates, fuel prices, and fleet maintenance all contribute
:04:44. > :04:53.Members heard the airline's been granted a ?6 million overdraft.

:05:04. > :05:07.trial to help tackle declining passenger numbers.
:05:08. > :05:09.But the idea's now been withdrawn because it says
:05:10. > :05:17.it wasn't prepared to subsidise the service.
:05:18. > :05:28.The request might come, quite reasonably, from another ferry
:05:29. > :05:33.company to subsidise another route because you would create a
:05:34. > :05:39.president. But Condor came with good intentions and a good presentation.
:05:40. > :05:40.We took to that with good intentions but we reached the conclusion that
:05:41. > :05:42.we did. Condor Ferries says it's
:05:43. > :05:45.disappointed Guernsey has decided not to trial a new inter-island
:05:46. > :05:47.service, but will continue discussing options with the Minister
:05:48. > :05:59.of Economic Development in Jersey. It's been claimed "innappropriate

:06:13. > :06:14.the nonexecutive directors Tim Herbert said pressure to lend
:06:15. > :06:18.money was constant and came from political channels,

:06:25. > :06:34.a queue of dads and mums I have been here before, but this is
:06:35. > :06:40.the first time I have been on sentence with my little girl. It is
:06:41. > :06:45.difficult, she is two years old, three in November. She has got a
:06:46. > :06:50.great writer. She is very grown-up, kind of one step ahead. I am
:06:51. > :06:56.creating a good bond with her while I am here. I am just hoping she
:06:57. > :07:06.likes this, really. I try to do anything I can while I am here. I
:07:07. > :07:11.thought this would be a good idea. It is an idea that has been going on
:07:12. > :07:16.a while at the prison. Today, ten fathers are recording a bedtime
:07:17. > :07:22.story for their children. A charity then edit it all, as sound effects

:07:33. > :07:37.found. Leaping the family unit together is one of the things we
:07:38. > :07:39.strive to do. We have got a phone system where they can phone their
:07:40. > :07:44.children every night, but it is not quite the same when you get into bed
:07:45. > :07:54.when you are little and cuddle up to go to sleep. For one little girl
:07:55. > :08:01.whose mum did beat CDE, she had to have that CD in order to sleep. It
:08:02. > :08:07.is like when you buy them something and that smile, it doesn't matter
:08:08. > :08:12.how much it is. I am hoping this is the same. I am hoping this is the
:08:13. > :08:17.same thing for her, really. I have got my fingers crossed it makes her
:08:18. > :08:20.smile, or a laugh would be even better.

:13:07. > :13:11.machinery. That is where you started, really. And this is him
:13:12. > :13:16.today. I remember the filming crew coming out and filming me driving my
:13:17. > :13:21.first beggar. I think I had one workman at the time, so it was quite
:13:22. > :13:29.an exciting time in those days. He says his first job was ?28. Now, has
:13:30. > :13:38.turnover as millions. It was quite enjoyable at the time. I think it
:13:39. > :13:40.bit me a lot of good as regards business, because a lot of people

:16:03. > :16:40.please hold my hand. A wonderful singer, I don't know
:16:41. > :16:43.when you keep apologising for being here because it is great to have you
:16:44. > :16:48.on the sofa. It's difficult enough getting into the music industry,
:16:49. > :16:52.without the problems you've experienced. Give us some of the
:16:53. > :16:57.herstory. He had an anaphylactic shock. I've always had in an allergy
:16:58. > :17:01.to peanuts. I had quite a severe reaction last year, because the
:17:02. > :17:07.mistake was made and I was given society. Rather than having a trace,
:17:08. > :17:12.I had a pan -- I had basically a handful of peanuts. The months after
:17:13. > :17:15.that, I started to deteriorate. Piping collapsed last June in
:17:16. > :17:24.hospital and the thought it was just a vitamin deficiency. I had these
:17:25. > :17:28.injections and normal you have one celebrity to six months. In five
:17:29. > :17:36.days a particularly heated quite a lot. Up until the previous,
:17:37. > :17:40.recently, I've been on the week. We mentioned some of the symptoms a
:17:41. > :17:45.moment ago, memory loss and hearing loss. How much of an impact as an
:17:46. > :17:51.having on day-to-day life? It has been quite entertaining because in
:17:52. > :17:55.my family we are quite comical. A good way of dealing with it. The
:17:56. > :18:01.biggest problem was the neurological problems and symptoms I was getting,
:18:02. > :18:05.muscle weakness, numbness, a few aches and reading difficulties for
:18:06. > :18:11.awhile. Without these injections, I am bedbound. Reading difficulties
:18:12. > :18:15.when you are a singer, a problem. How replacement? It's been fine
:18:16. > :18:18.since the injections but I had an airborne reaction, which I have not
:18:19. > :18:25.had before. That's another deterioration. So what, when you are
:18:26. > :18:31.close to them, it is a problem? Someone visiting them in a room.
:18:32. > :18:34.That was entertaining as well, so we have another stage and since the
:18:35. > :18:41.deteriorated a lot more. Last week I was in for toxicology tests and they
:18:42. > :18:45.have been phenomenal. They are not sure because it's something quite
:18:46. > :18:51.new. What happens now? Would you go from here in terms of getting on top
:18:52. > :18:56.of this? I did a lot of research and found that in Colorado there is
:18:57. > :19:02.limiting specialist is linked to autoimmune trouble. I have had this
:19:03. > :19:06.massive award-winning reaction and they have said they will take me on
:19:07. > :19:11.if I can raise the funds to get over. So you have been raising
:19:12. > :19:15.funds. You still have masses of interest, haven't you? You have
:19:16. > :19:19.producers keen and wanting to start. Where are you going with that next?
:19:20. > :19:23.It's kind of one pause at the moment. I'm not good to see an fine
:19:24. > :19:29.and then, they have said they don't know what will happen if you die. I
:19:30. > :19:34.know it sounds terrible, but that's how it is, the reality. I have to
:19:35. > :19:39.find a way of getting better. That's why war this conundrum at the

:20:43. > :20:53.been for two and a half years. What I'm doing now, making
:20:54. > :20:56.the poppies, is helping the Royal British Legion to help
:20:57. > :20:59.ex-servicemen and women It really is a win-win situation,
:21:00. > :21:08.because with the manufacture, we are supporting people in recovery

:21:38. > :22:02.and of course hasn't. We can tweak to see those poppies.
:22:03. > :22:05.The model, you can see them, joining thousands more, when the Devon
:22:06. > :22:11.remembers memorial will be seen from the first time at the Devon County
:22:12. > :22:14.show. Visitors will be able to see the display, 32,000 poppies, which
:22:15. > :22:18.have been made by people right across the county. We'll be talking
:22:19. > :22:22.to the youngest and the oldest who have been making the one part of
:22:23. > :22:27.that tribute. As the farming community constant for Devon's main
:22:28. > :22:37.agricultural show, we will be the giving you the highlights.
:22:38. > :23:02.No pressure! If you have sunglasses, wellies and what the press, you have
:23:03. > :23:06.nothing to worry about. It's a day of sunshine and showers. Thankfully
:23:07. > :23:10.we are losing the most persistent rain we have today. Sunshine and
:23:11. > :23:15.showers as we head into the next few days. Some pretty grotty conditions
:23:16. > :23:20.out there. You can see that Google cloud shredding the clubs. The Isles
:23:21. > :23:23.of Scilly and some parts of Cornwall, the sun has come out and
:23:24. > :23:28.it has been a nice end to the day. Prater over the next few days. We
:23:29. > :23:34.have some sunshine and don't worry about today's weather fronts. The
:23:35. > :23:38.next few days, bringing a mixture of sunshine and showers, with low
:23:39. > :23:44.pressure sitting in northern parts of the UK. Basically, that is the
:23:45. > :23:48.story. Similar into Saturday as well. This is the picture for the
:23:49. > :23:52.Devon County show. Do not be displayed for this. We have some
:23:53. > :23:56.showers but away from the showers, there is something to be had also. A
:23:57. > :24:02.lot of heavy rain and that has been leading eastwards. Those clear skies
:24:03. > :24:06.are developing across all of us as we head through the ceiling and
:24:07. > :24:09.overnight. Starry skies over maid and the mostly dry and eight on the
:24:10. > :24:16.way. The world than most recent mates. Into tomorrow, at very
:24:17. > :24:20.different day. A much greater picture but worth risk of showers.
:24:21. > :24:26.It's difficult to pin down exactly but I suspect the M1 dahlias,
:24:27. > :24:30.perhaps catching the lion's share of the showers. Coastal areas could see
:24:31. > :24:34.the best of the shelter, the best of the great weather tomorrow. If you
:24:35. > :24:37.do get showers, and you were hoping not to get him, I do apologise. Many
:24:38. > :24:47.of ours dodging a good deal of them sunshine and a few showers but not
:24:48. > :24:51.too many. The odd rumble of thunder, you could get that anywhere but it's
:24:52. > :25:03.a court tomorrow. Your times of high well water. -- your times of high
:25:04. > :25:09.water. Surf conditions, generally choppy. This is the picture out at
:25:10. > :25:12.sea. The wind west or south westerly, a risk of showers and
:25:13. > :25:19.visibility generally good, perhaps moderate. It does not look great but
:25:20. > :25:24.this looks worse than I suspect it will look outside. Away from these
:25:25. > :25:28.showers which can be quite lively and thundery, we should see to
:25:29. > :25:33.dispose of sunshine. Called mates over the next couple of mates, the
:25:34. > :25:36.risk of some grass frost and some cold spots but most others dodging
:25:37. > :25:39.that. Sunshine and showers for the weekend as well.

:25:45. > :26:53.that at 10:35pm. Good night. The choice you now face
:26:54. > :26:57.is all about the future. Whoever wins on the 8th of June
:26:58. > :27:02.will face one overriding task - to get the best possible deal
