Lessons to be learnt following the death of a man who's

There are people in Jersey who really do not mix in society and

people know very little about them. But for such a small island, that

should not be the case. Good evening and welcome to the late

news from BBC Channel Islands, And formal complaints have been made

into the death of Mr Fisher, an older man described

:00:54.:00:57.

as a "local character". He died on his own at home

after refusing the help We've been asked not to reveal

:01:00.:01:01.

the identity of Mr Fisher, which isn't his real name,

caused considerable concern. There are people in Jersey

who really don't mix in society, that people know very

:01:24.:01:30.

little about them. But for such a small island,

:01:31.:01:33.

that shouldn't be the case. So, it's about getting in earlier,

:01:34.:01:37.

recognising before things get really difficult,

:01:38.:01:41.

and using our new approaches. Those new approaches

:01:42.:01:46.

could include a new welfare It's thought one of the few people

Mr Fisher would have accepted help Often being a friend

is the way in, isn't it? And you heard Glenys talking

:01:56.:02:00.

about people not wanting to accept care or intervention and having

:02:01.:02:05.

a right to refuse. Very often, the informal way

:02:06.:02:10.

is the only way that you can And Daphne, the President

:02:11.:02:13.

of Jersey's Age Concern, agrees. She wants to introduce

:02:14.:02:19.

a Good Neighbour scheme to encourage islanders to look out

:02:20.:02:22.

for their community. But she also thinks

:02:23.:02:25.

the States should do more. The States spend an awful

:02:26.:02:28.

lot of money on things They like them, but they're not

:02:29.:02:31.

absolutely necessary. It's money we should be

:02:32.:02:38.

spending on care for people within the community

:02:39.:02:41.

and in the hospital. And one of the criticisms

:02:42.:02:45.

of Mr Fisher's care is what happened when he was discharged from hospital

- he was allowed to The review of hospital discharges

it's hoped it'll become less likely. Jen Smith, BBC Channel

Islands News, Guernsey. Three senior politicians

:03:06.:03:14.

in Guernsey are facing formal complaints from two

:03:15.:03:16.

of the island's leading charities. It's over alleged comments

:03:17.:03:18.

about a former Education Committee member's ability to fulfil the role

:03:19.:03:20.

while caring for a Although on the surface

:03:21.:03:22.

the Committee for Education, Sport and Culture seemed to survive

:03:23.:03:30.

last month's vote of no confidence relatively unscathed,

:03:31.:03:33.

one obvious casualty was committee member Marc Leadbeater, who,

:03:34.:03:35.

after initially resigning, later put his name forward

:03:36.:03:38.

for re-election and then But during all this,

:03:39.:03:41.

it was alleged comments about whether he could fulfil his

:03:42.:03:46.

responsibilities while caring for a disabled family member,

:03:47.:03:48.

that caused concern for both the Community Foundation

:03:49.:03:51.

and The Disability Alliance. It is damaging if these rumours

:03:52.:03:56.

are allowed to persist. All we are really calling for is for

:03:57.:03:59.

the facts to be established. And the panel will then have

:04:00.:04:02.

to decide if there is some They'll decide what

:04:03.:04:07.

sanctions they'll do. Deputies Lyndon Trott,

:04:08.:04:14.

Mary Lowe and Education President Paul Le Pelley have now been

:04:15.:04:16.

confirmed as the politicians facing But here at the States Chamber

:04:17.:04:19.

earlier this morning, a vigorous rejection

:04:20.:04:25.

of the allegations by Deputy Trott If people have genuine,

:04:26.:04:30.

sincere evidence-based complaints about politicians,

:04:31.:04:32.

they are entitled to make them. When there is no evidence

:04:33.:04:34.

and they are completely baseless, then they should keep

:04:35.:04:40.

their mouths shut. Deputies Le Pelley and Lowe also

:04:41.:04:42.

deny any wrongdoing, but with so much uncertainty already

:04:43.:04:45.

surrounding the future of education in the island,

:04:46.:04:48.

this is one more controversy it Mark Inchley, BBC Channel

:04:49.:04:52.

Islands News, Guernsey. Guernsey's government met

:04:53.:04:57.

today to begin debating whether the proposed strategy

:04:58.:04:59.

to export its waste and increase Earlier I spoke to our reporter

:05:00.:05:02.

Mike Wilkins and asked him how Well, the question of how to get rid

:05:03.:05:09.

of Guernsey's rubbish has plagued There are no more holes

:05:10.:05:14.

in the ground left and there's virtually no more time to explore

:05:15.:05:18.

any other options. This is the rather stark choice

:05:19.:05:20.

facing States' members this week, as the total bill for dealing

:05:21.:05:23.

with an off-island solution is estimated to be almost

:05:24.:05:27.

?300 million for the next 20 years. Mike, Guernsey's decided to solve

:05:28.:05:32.

the problem by shipping its waste So, who's going to

:05:33.:05:34.

have to pay for this? Well, ultimately, Charlie,

:05:35.:05:41.

it's going to be the taxpayer and the average household

:05:42.:05:44.

could see their refuse bills go up The man responsible for Guernsey's

:05:45.:05:47.

waste policy says the proposed Before, we've always been able

:05:48.:05:53.

to fall back on the space Any time wasted now is simply

:05:54.:06:04.

more taxpayers' money. The proposals include ambitious

:06:05.:06:10.

targets to have 70% of waste Deputy Peter Roffey

:06:11.:06:14.

is concerned that the costs Certainly looking at the cost

:06:15.:06:24.

of kerbside recycling, it's suddenly leapt from ?1 million

:06:25.:06:29.

per year to ?2 million per year. It is a heck of a lot better

:06:30.:06:32.

than going to a bring bank. But at what point does the cost

:06:33.:06:37.

reach when you say, "Well, hang on, this is the best thing to do

:06:38.:06:41.

but it is no longer affordable"? So I'd like to look

:06:42.:06:44.

at whether or not we should go back to bring banks or at the very least,

:06:45.:06:47.

whether there's a cheaper So the waste saga isn't over yet

people and businesses. Modern thieves are more

likely to steal your data Here in Jersey, States of Jersey

systems register 500 cyber attacks per day,

:07:18.:07:20.

while the Financial Services Commission is targeted, on average,

:07:21.:07:23.

4,000 times every day. In fact, cyber threats are now seen

:07:24.:07:29.

as one of the biggest risks But big organisations aren't

:07:30.:07:32.

the only ones at risk. If you were to think

:07:33.:07:40.

about all of the individual personal emails that you receive,

:07:41.:07:42.

all of the websites that you may browse throughout the day

:07:43.:07:45.

and all of the malicious sites and links that you'll see

:07:46.:07:48.

through social media, I'd estimate that an end user

:07:49.:07:50.

could be exposed to, yeah, several hundred or so attacks a day

:07:51.:07:53.

and not even be aware of it. And it's that awareness that's key

:07:54.:07:56.

to being able to defend yourself. Teaching people and businesses

:07:57.:08:00.

about cyber security is seen as vital for Jersey's continued

:08:01.:08:03.

success as a finance centre We're about ensuring that people

:08:04.:08:06.

have got a basic awareness and a basic understanding

:08:07.:08:12.

of what they need to do in their specific area in which they

:08:13.:08:15.

are working with technology. That's individuals, businesses

:08:16.:08:18.

and across government as well. At a basic level, they need

:08:19.:08:21.

to understand why cyber security is important to them and how

:08:22.:08:25.

they might hold their information or how they might interact

:08:26.:08:29.

with a business or their bank Islanders have until the end

Channel Islands News, Jersey. It's been a lovely day with stunning

photographs sent in from our Weather Watchers. Tomorrow it will be a

:09:05.:09:08.

chilly start, a touch of ground lost here and there and the mist and fog

:09:09.:09:12.

will be a problem tomorrow, where it forms a good be stubborn and it

:09:13.:09:20.

could be on and off throughout the day. Otherwise we would cruise we

:09:21.:09:23.

should get the sunshine coming through and it will feel springlike.

:09:24.:09:25.

We have got high pressure in charge over the coming days, that means

where you have the sunshine, fine conditions and light winds, but you

:09:28.:09:31.

could have problems with mist and fog and we have weather front is

:09:32.:09:34.

trying to encroach, and that makes the cloud detail more tricky to

:09:35.:09:38.

forecast and it could bring some rain at times. In general, for most

:09:39.:09:42.

of the next few days it should be largely dry.

:09:43.:09:57.

Through the risk of mist and fog patches forming. Temperatures get

:09:58.:10:00.

down to six or 7 degrees. Locally we could see perhaps a touch of ground

:10:01.:10:03.

frost. A chilly start tomorrow morning. The risk of fog on and off

:10:04.:10:05.

unfortunately tomorrow. With the sunshine comes through it will feel

:10:06.:10:09.

pleasant, the winds are right, it will feel nice but where you have

:10:10.:10:13.

that mist and fog, it will be ever so much more disappointing. These

:10:14.:10:17.

are our times of high water tomorrow. This is how it is shaping

:10:18.:10:24.

up over the coming days. Staying mild, variable amounts of cloud,

:10:25.:10:29.

some problems with mist and fog, mostly dry, some rain at times with

light winds. Where you have the sunshine, it should feel springlike.

Hello. We put that cold weekend well behind us now. Temperatures edging

upwards and our weather watchers are seeing plenty of signs of spring.

Spending more time looking down than looking up at the skies, we see

these early blooms. They are set to continue as we are set to stay mild
