:00:15. > :00:18.But, some women in Guernsey may be putting off going for a cervical

:00:19. > :00:23.The problem has been highlighted after one woman, who took advantage

:00:24. > :00:26.of a little-publicised free screening service wrote

:00:27. > :00:32.about her experience online, and saw her post go viral.

:00:33. > :00:35.I pressed post and then I saw the likes were going up,

:00:36. > :00:37.and within six minutes, I had over a hundred

:00:38. > :00:42.When Lara Allen shared her post about free cervical

:00:43. > :00:44.smears in Guernsey, it struck a chord with

:00:45. > :00:50.I'm really pleased, because some ladies commented that

:00:51. > :00:52.I could have saved lives and I didn't even think

:00:53. > :00:58.I purely posted to try and save ladies' money.

:00:59. > :01:01.It's not a nice procedure, but women over the age of 25

:01:02. > :01:03.are advised to get screened regularly to reduce the risk

:01:04. > :01:07.However, if you go to your GP in Guernsey,

:01:18. > :01:20.But what many people on Social Media didn't realise, is that if you go

:01:21. > :01:22.to the Orchard Centre at the hospital,

:01:23. > :01:32.We have tended to focus on vulnerable women and women who find

:01:33. > :01:35.it difficult to bear the costs of St Michael screening tests.

:01:36. > :01:37.It is important women have access to this

:01:38. > :01:51.and do not prejudice their health and well-being.

:01:52. > :01:53.The Orchard Centre has seen an increase

:01:54. > :01:58.at the Orchard centre for the last 20 years.

:01:59. > :02:05.We have focused on people who are vulnerable and who cannot

:02:06. > :02:07.But screening figures in Guernsey are already above the national

:02:08. > :02:10.average with 80% of women registered with a GP

:02:11. > :02:11.going through the programme, compared to just over

:02:12. > :02:15.Health and Social Care say the cheaper screening alternatives

:02:16. > :02:17.provided by the Orchard Centre, and the Choices Guernsey

:02:18. > :02:18.aren't widely advertised as numbers are limited,

:02:19. > :02:23.Regardless of where it takes place, screening saves lives and all women

:02:24. > :02:25.are being encouraged to make an appointment when it's due,

:02:26. > :02:34.As new anti discrimination laws are due to be brought in in Jersey -

:02:35. > :02:37.in the next few months, people with disabilities are being

:02:38. > :02:40.asked to shape where they live - with the potential to make lives

:02:41. > :02:43.Peter's been visually impaired since childhood.

:02:44. > :02:45.A retired grower, he still keeps busy planting,

:02:46. > :02:47.as it's something he can do just by touch.

:02:48. > :02:50.He's keen for Jersey to improve for his fellow disabled islanders.

:02:51. > :02:55.I'm very lucky, because I'm mobile, when I go to town on the bus,

:02:56. > :02:59.I have my white cane, I'm very lucky the bus

:03:00. > :03:07.Depending where you live, you can have a long walk to a bus,

:03:12. > :03:15.Nearly 14,000 people in Jersey are disabled

:03:16. > :03:20.60% surveyed said they found it hard to get involved

:03:21. > :03:22.in community activities and 41% found it hard

:03:23. > :03:25.And 28% said they've been discriminated

:03:26. > :03:29.A new law to tackle that discrimination is due

:03:30. > :03:33.But in the meantime, people are being asked their views

:03:34. > :03:38.Today was the first of three public meetings to discuss how life

:03:39. > :03:41.in Jersey could be made better not just for disabled people but also

:03:42. > :03:48.It is an island wide issue and the war responses

:03:49. > :03:53.understand what their needs are, we will hopefully be able to provide

:03:54. > :03:57.services across the board to meet the needs of people.

:03:58. > :04:04.Along with this, it is hoped the new strategy

:04:05. > :04:09.will help people like Peter find the island more accessible.

:04:10. > :04:11.The final coin has been lifted from the Jersey Hoard -

:04:12. > :04:16.The find - back in 2012 - remains one of the most

:04:17. > :04:22.Robert Hall has more on a momentous day.

:04:23. > :04:25.A small but symbolic moment, in a story no one

:04:26. > :04:30.The last coin from one of the most important finds in Western Europe,

:04:31. > :04:39.The story began with a 30-year search for treasure buried by Celtic

:04:40. > :04:44.tribes from France, well over 2,000 years ago.

:04:45. > :04:47.Their coins kept turning up, but the hoard found in 2012 was far

:04:48. > :04:52.Since then, it has been giving up its secrets.

:04:53. > :04:58.precious objects have emerged, including gold

:04:59. > :05:01.neckpieces, silver brooches and personal posessions.

:05:02. > :05:04.As soon as that hoard was found it went on show to the public.

:05:05. > :05:07.Then it was put in a laboratory, purpose-built, so the public could

:05:08. > :05:12.We were part of our journey, right the

:05:13. > :05:18.Now, at last, this phase of the restoration is complete.

:05:19. > :05:22.Every day there have been surprises and we

:05:23. > :05:26.think there is so much more to find out in the future.

:05:27. > :05:29.Today marks an end to three years of painstaking work.

:05:30. > :05:34.But there are many here in Jersey who

:05:35. > :05:37.believe this is not the end of the story.

:05:38. > :05:41.There is so much study to do with the board itself at what we can

:05:42. > :05:45.learn about events 2000 years ago, but in a much broader context, what

:05:46. > :05:51.It is as if it found us, we didn't find it.

:05:52. > :06:00.Maybe there is a reason for it for the future.

:06:01. > :06:03.You're up to date with the news in the Channel Islands.

:06:04. > :06:13.I'll leave you with the forecast and David Braine.

:06:14. > :06:18.Good evening. It is unusual for us to see so much in the way of cold

:06:19. > :06:23.weather in the Channel Islands but more of it is to come. A bit more

:06:24. > :06:28.cloud around tomorrow. Still dry and still feeling quite cold and still

:06:29. > :06:34.with the temperatures today, there won't be changed tomorrow. It may

:06:35. > :06:38.become slightly less cold as we move into Sunday, just a change in the

:06:39. > :06:43.wind direction to make society less cold air but for the most part, we

:06:44. > :06:47.are in the grip of some pretty chilly conditions, the frost

:06:48. > :06:54.starting to reform overnight tonight. Just below freezing. Frost

:06:55. > :06:59.is forming. Some patchy cloud around. It won't stop the

:07:00. > :07:06.temperatures falling. A widespread overnight frost. For tomorrow, the

:07:07. > :07:12.cloud amounts will be higher than we have seen the last couple of days.

:07:13. > :07:17.Generally light winds from the south-east and temperatures in the

:07:18. > :07:23.range of four all 5 degrees. Quite cold a, it will be will bid for all

:07:24. > :07:27.of us. Sunday, more cloud to start with but the winds started shift

:07:28. > :07:30.direction, they come up from the south and by the time we get to

:07:31. > :07:32.mid-morning, a lot of the cloud disappearing.

:07:33. > :07:38.feel cooler. Can we keep it going until the start of the new week? I

:07:39. > :07:40.suspect we can. Unconfirmed about -- concerned about the fog around. Here

:07:41. > :07:51.is Helen with the national picture. Good evening. The weather is upon

:07:52. > :07:54.us. The cloud has made all the difference this week in particular.

:07:55. > :07:58.We have had some wonderful weather watcher pictures, this is Marlowe in

:07:59. > :08:04.Buckinghamshire, this was Conwy earlier in the day. Some areas still

:08:05. > :08:08.have the cloud. What a difference that makes. Edinburgh, the central

:08:09. > :08:17.lowlands, plagued by this band of narrow cloud, overnight more areas

:08:18. > :08:20.share in the frost. Pretty widespread, the frost overnight,

:08:21. > :08:24.cold across northern England, Southern Scotland and Northern

:08:25. > :08:28.Ireland than it has been this week. These are town and city temperatures

:08:29. > :08:29.but in the countryside a harsh
