An unknown enemy - the 4000 cyber attacks a dax

Because Jersey has a strong financial presence, it will

naturally be a target for those outside criminal organisations that

look to extort those businesses Good evening and welcome

the first Guernsey teenager Businesses in Jersey are under

growing threat from cyber crime according to experts who sax

the island is a target becatse Companies, and Jersey's fin`nce

regulator itself, are coming under cyber attack

every day, and it's getting worse. 2016 has seen a massive

increase in certain attacks such as things like ransomw`re,

it's the reality of Both for the commission

6% of the adult population. And, when it comes to Type 2

Diabetes, for the first timd We don't exercise enough

for a long time, but this is The availability of cheap,

lots of different sports, maybe more PE sessions instdad

to the park every day. I guess a run around

may be more appealing But, if it helps children avoid

illnesses like diabetes, Jersey Police want to hear

from anyone who saw pensiondr John McCarthy on the day

to establish the identity and cause of death of the middle-aged man

looked like it hadn't The authorities are trying

to work out what happened. There's optimism among priv`te boat

owners in Guernsey that conditions It follows a difficult few xears,

with clashes between harbour authorities and boat users over

issues such as mooring fees, security and the removal

of some harbour facilities. But, as Mark Inchley's been finding

out, a new survey is laying the foundations for better

relationships and facilities When a survey of local boat owners

was announced 12 months ago, there were hopes it could m`rk

a new dawn for marine It followed a drop in the ntmber

of local boat owners since the 2008 financial cr`sh,

something not helped by ongoing disputes over mooring fees

and harbour facilities. And, in the cold light of d`y,

many of these issues remain. The problem over the last three

years has been turmoil We have had people in power who have

no marine experience whatsodver and the people running the larinas

have no marine experience. Now that has all been alterdd,

so I am hoping now we are going to see the harbours back on an even

keel and we can all move forward. The survey gave a sense of who boat

owners are, their habits, how much they spend,

and highlighted concerns about issues such as security

and the removal of hosepipes. The groups behind it say

there were no real surprises, but it I don't think we will go back to the

crazy days of 2006 or 2007 with everybody buying boats. I think

those days are gone. I think it will be a much slower type of market in

the future. For Guernsey harbours it follows

what has been a long industry, with harbourmaster

Chad Murray admitting he's neglected It is such a wide customer base

and so many differing custoler sectors, whether it is commdrcial,

local, visitors, that we ard always going to come under some

sort of criticism. I think we need to be conschous

of that and try to strive for better customer service,

and try to listen to So optimism all round,

but with future developments at the harbour very much

under the spotlight, it's important they have

everyone on board. There will be an ice skating rink

at Jersey's Fort Regent this winter, despite organisers previously

saying there wouldn't. It was thought the rink couldn't

compete against a new one at the Weighbridge in St Helier

but the States stepped in to run it after an online petition was signed

by more than 1,000 people. They've crunched the numbers

and believe the Fort rink In sport, Guernsey FC lost tonight's

game against Faversham FC 2,4. Manager Tony Vance had told the BBC

it would probably be the Green Lions biggest test

of the season so far. It's Guernsey's sixth consecutive

match without a win. Now, David has the weather forecast.

Hello, good evening. Not a great deal of change in our weathdr

pattern over the next few d`ys. High pressure well and truly in charge,

giving us problems with mist and fog, but also sunshine, particularly

in the afternoon. This was darlier on today, a beautiful shot looking

out to sea with those blue skies. The clear skies allowing missed to

form and fog will also form later on tonight. Tune in to BBC Guernsey or

BBC Jersey for details. It hs a misty start, and there will be some

sunshine once that mist has gone. Low cloud may give us some drizzle

in the wind, but generally puite mild. The area of high pressure does

not want to move too far from us right to the rest of this wdek. It

is here for the middle of the day tomorrow, across as for the middle

of the day on Friday. Just loving a bit further east on Saturdax,

perhaps even an allowing sole warmth to dress up from Spain and Portugal.

It will remain dry and largdly fine. The cloud we saw earlier today has

been coming and going, and latest night it will thicken up and it

might be capable of winning some drizzle in the morning, with

overnight haemorrhages dipphng to ten or 11 degrees -- temper`tures.

After a great start it should brighten up and we will losd any

drizzle out of the wind and it will brighten up quite nicely, ghving

some decent spells of sunshhne. 16, the maximum temperature. Warm across

Spain and Portugal, a lot of cloud for much of the day across France.

For us, it is a little bit brighter as we head into the weekend and also

feeling quite mild at 16 or 17. Have a good night. That's all the

news for this Wednesday night. If you have missed anything, you can

catch up on the BBC iPlayer. Goodbye.

out the outlook. Temperatures are looking very promising indeed. Nick

Miller has the National forecast. If you like your forecast to include

cold weather, this is not for you. Temperatures have been heading up,

helped by sunshine showing off the autumn colours.
