Lessons to be learnt following the death of a man who's | :00:11. | :00:13. | |
There are people in Jersey who really do not mix in society and | :00:14. | :00:25. | |
people know very little about them. But for such a small island, that | :00:26. | :00:28. | |
should not be the case. Good evening and welcome to the late | :00:29. | :00:32. | |
news from BBC Channel Islands, And formal complaints have been made | :00:33. | :00:35. | |
against three senior A Jersey man, who's body | :00:36. | :00:39. | |
wasn't found for "some time" after dying alone, | :00:40. | :00:51. | |
has highlighted the problem There's been a serious case review | :00:52. | :00:53. | |
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 | :00:58. | :00:59. | |
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, | :01:02. | :01:10. | |
but he was thought to be well known in the community, | :01:11. | :01:13. | |
with an individual style and what's He may have had a mild learning | :01:14. | :01:15. | |
disability and was living in conditions the watchdog says | :01:16. | :01:22. | |
caused considerable concern. There are people in Jersey | :01:23. | :01:23. | |
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 | :01:47. | :01:50. | |
Mr Fisher would have accepted help Often being a friend | :01:51. | :01:55. | |
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 | :02:46. | :02:47. | |
- he was allowed to The review of hospital discharges | :02:48. | :02:50. | |
is just one of nine recommendations the watchdog's suggested in light | :02:51. | :02:59. | |
of Mr Fisher's death. So, while avoiding this | :03:00. | :03:01. | |
situation in the future is impossible to guarantee, | :03:02. | :03:03. | |
it's hoped it'll become less likely. Jen Smith, BBC Channel | :03:04. | :03:05. | |
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 | :06:48. | :06:50. | |
and whatever happens in the States this week, | :06:51. | :06:53. | |
the cost of dealing with Guernsey's Today, Jersey's government has set | :06:54. | :06:56. | |
out a new cyber security strategy. It plans to spend ?2 | :06:57. | :07:04. | |
million over three years protecting the government, | :07:05. | :07:08. | |
people and businesses. Modern thieves are more | :07:09. | :07:11. | |
likely to steal your data Here in Jersey, States of Jersey | :07:12. | :07:17. | |
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 | :08:30. | :08:31. | |
of March to share their views on how the government can keep them safe | :08:32. | :08:39. | |
in an increasingly digital world. Jon de la Haye, BBC | :08:40. | :08:42. | |
Channel Islands News, Jersey. It's been a lovely day with stunning | :08:43. | :09:04. | |
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 | :09:26. | :09:27. | |
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 | :10:30. | :10:33. | |
light winds. Where you have the sunshine, it should feel springlike. | :10:34. | :10:36. | |

here is Nick with the national picture. | :11:04. | :11:06. | |
Hello. We put that cold weekend well behind us now. Temperatures edging | :11:07. | :11:10. | |
upwards and our weather watchers are seeing plenty of signs of spring. | :11:11. | :11:14. | |
Spending more time looking down than looking up at the skies, we see | :11:15. | :11:18. | |
these early blooms. They are set to continue as we are set to stay mild | :11:19. | :11:22. | |
for several more days to come. Average daytime temperature this | :11:23. | :11:25. | |
time of year around eight, but getting | :11:26. | :11:26. |
