:00:17. > :00:23.Fuel and alcohol will cost xou more but will it squeeze the lifd out of
:00:24. > :00:27.the hospitality industry? It is important they take a look `t the
:00:28. > :00:33.whole picture and try and fhnd other ways that aren't going to dhrectly
:00:34. > :00:45.affect the industry. Good evening. Also tonight: Better togethdr, one
:00:46. > :00:47.of the top politicians spells out his dream the Guernsey.
:00:48. > :00:49.Jersey's Budget proposals may only be hours old,
:00:50. > :00:53.The island's Chamber of comlerce and a brewery boss have criticised
:00:54. > :00:55.planned increases on alcohol as potentially damaging
:00:56. > :00:59.Other proposed changes cover tax thresholds, and a law changd
:01:00. > :01:02.to enable the States to pay Parish rates.
:01:03. > :01:05.Luxmy Gopal has been looking at the detail.

:01:21. > :01:24.There'll be more tax on fuel, with unleaded going up 2p a litre.

:01:28. > :01:31.And a well-above inflation tax hike on tobacco -
:01:32. > :01:35.Arguably the budget winners are single people -
:01:36. > :01:37.who'll get to keep more of their earnings
:01:38. > :01:43.And, while the gap has closdd slightly, they're still being taxed
:01:44. > :01:46.proportionately less than married couples.
:01:47. > :01:50.Does this Minister's budget go far enough to address that?
:01:51. > :01:54.This is an issue that hasn't been addressed for 17 years.
:01:55. > :02:04.By closing it almost by half, we're stepping in the right direction
:02:05. > :02:07.Future budgets hopefully will close it until we reach parity.
:02:08. > :02:10.The Treasury Minister says some elements are still being reviewed
:02:11. > :02:12.and that there are bigger changes on the way.
:02:13. > :02:15.But of course - this is just a draft budget.
:02:16. > :02:24.It needs the approval of thd States when it's up for debate in December.

:03:14. > :03:16.I think business is an easy place to head.
:03:17. > :03:18.Another interesting point in the budget,
:03:19. > :03:23.almost a footnote, the
:03:24. > :03:30.states of Jersey will begin to paper as rates.
:03:31. > :03:33.and interesting problems rahsed for

:03:51. > :03:52.He was in Jersey today saying the islands should do
:03:53. > :03:56.But as Mike Wilkins reports, there are recent examples
:03:57. > :04:02.Two very different islands with similar problems.
:04:03. > :04:04.Today Guernsey's most powerful politician has been in Jersdy giving
:04:05. > :04:10.a speech about he wants the islands to work closer together.
:04:11. > :04:13.At the end of the day we have to remember that we are still only
:04:14. > :04:21.a community with a total population of 100 city thousand people.
:04:22. > :04:28.Yet, we share very few servhces in an environment where both islands
:04:29. > :04:34.are needing to transform the delivery of government
:04:35. > :04:36.and to save money there is clear opportunity.
:04:37. > :04:38.The President of Guernsey's Chamber of Commerce says businesses have
:04:39. > :04:41.been working pan island for years and it was time
:04:42. > :04:45.Absolutely, the government needs to catch up, there must be
:04:46. > :04:47.lots of areas, particularly with Information Systems,
:04:48. > :04:49.where Jersey can learn from Guernsey, it is not
:04:50. > :05:01.just about us getting information from Jersey,
:05:02. > :05:02.but Jersey learning from Guernsey as well.
:05:03. > :05:05.There is a wide range of ardas that need help.
:05:06. > :05:08.I think they are envious of some of our leanness in some are`s.
:05:09. > :05:10.Shipping Guernsey's waste to Sweden instead of Jersey has been
:05:11. > :05:12.highlighted by some as another example of the islands
:05:13. > :05:18.But this man's hoping both government's follow his belhef that
:05:19. > :05:21.what unites us is greater than what divides us.
:05:22. > :05:24.Mike Wilkins, BBC Channel Islands News.
:05:25. > :05:27.There's a warning Jersey's dxpanding population will mean more

:05:38. > :05:42.Net migration, at present, is 1500 per year.
:05:43. > :05:46.If we maintain that rate, then what we will see by 2035 is an
:05:47. > :05:53.400 people on the birth ratd, 20 classrooms, that's two
:05:54. > :05:55.new primary schools, a tremendous load on public
:05:56. > :06:03.There's a call for Jersey's honorary police to work more closely
:06:04. > :06:06.After seeing how special constables work
:06:07. > :06:08.with the force in the UK, one vingtenier's suggesting that
:06:09. > :06:17.honorary officers need to be more proactive.
:06:18. > :06:24.We have a good working relationship with our community liaison officer.
:06:25. > :06:29.We go to schools with him and out on patrol but it is not the sale across
:06:30. > :06:33.the island. That is where other parishes are missing out on the
:06:34. > :06:38.chance to work closer with the states of Jersey. They are not out
:06:39. > :06:40.there physically policing in the community, they are sacked by the
:06:41. > :06:43.fire waiting for the phone to ring. Thousands of people die every year
:06:44. > :06:45.in the UK because bystanders lack the confidence and skills
:06:46. > :06:47.to perform CPR. That's the message from
:06:48. > :06:49.Jersey's Ambulance Service who have been teaching life saving skills
:06:50. > :06:52.in St Helier today as part Cardiac arrest survival ratds
:06:53. > :06:57.are almost zero if no one steps in, as one Jersey woman nearly
:06:58. > :06:59.found out herself. Linda and Peter were hours `way
:07:00. > :07:05.from going on holiday when a dramatic twist
:07:06. > :07:07.changed their lives forever. Went to my computer and the next
:07:08. > :07:11.thing I knew was I woke up hn this place which was obviously a hospital
:07:12. > :07:14.because there was ladies in nurses uniforms and I hadn't got a clue
:07:15. > :07:20.where I was or what had happened. Peter had suffered a cardiac
:07:21. > :07:23.arrest, but was alive She had called 999 and followed
:07:24. > :07:30.CPR instructions over the phone while an ambulancd
:07:31. > :07:32.made its way to them. His face just blew up
:07:33. > :07:36.and it was blue and his And all I kept doing was talking
:07:37. > :07:41.to him and just saying... Jersey's Ambulance Service want more
:07:42. > :07:53.people to act confidently within those first crucial linutes,
:07:54. > :07:57.and to know there are heart starting machines available
:07:58. > :08:08.around the island. People are always saying to me how
:08:09. > :08:14.do we get into these boxes, or are they just
:08:15. > :08:16.for the premises they're on? Well no absolutely not,
:08:17. > :08:18.they are for the public, they're called public access
:08:19. > :08:21.defibrillators and by calling 999, you get the code
:08:22. > :08:23.and anybody can use them. And its information which c`n make
:08:24. > :08:27.a difference between life and death. If Linda hadn't done what she did,
:08:28. > :08:30.and even though she says it wasn't her it was the ambul`nce
:08:31. > :08:33.people, but it was really mainly her on their instructions
:08:34. > :08:35.then we wouldn't be having this conversation now,
:08:36. > :08:37.as I would have been I don't think there is any lore a
