:03:20. > :03:22.The man responsible says Guernsey needs a longer runway.
:03:23. > :03:26.I would think we would be crazy not to have the runway extension.
:03:27. > :03:32.Because we are otherwise going to be an economic backwater.
:03:33. > :03:35.Deputy Ferbrache says he has reason to believe Condor Ferries
:03:36. > :03:46.They have not told me that they are looking to sell but
:03:47. > :03:49.I read the financial newspapers, I'm not completely without some
:03:50. > :03:53.I believe they want to sell because they are an equity business

:04:13. > :04:18.Bearing in mind that it was such a hot topic at the election
:04:19. > :04:22.and bearing in mind there was a lot of noise made by a lot of people
:04:23. > :04:24.about Aircon activity and sealinks, there has been a lack of pretext

:05:38. > :05:39.We would fully understand that, as we have said.
:05:40. > :05:41.For our part, we continue to feel it was right,
:05:42. > :05:46.with the information we had, to try to resolve this personally,

:07:48. > :07:51.But his owner Angie believes they're misunderstood and says
:07:52. > :07:56.He chooses how long he stays with each person so I've had
:07:57. > :07:59.incidences where people haven't been that well before and he's stayed
:08:00. > :08:03.as if to say, "Yeah, you need picking up a bit,"
:08:04. > :08:06.he wants them to smile before he leaves.

:08:27. > :08:33.They love the sort of contact and the one-to-one and their eyes

:09:02. > :09:04.Let's take a look at the weather now, with David Braine.
:09:05. > :09:15.We are into some milder air now but it's not without its problems
:09:16. > :09:18.because the mist and fog return at the same time.
:09:19. > :09:20.Some hill fog around overnight tonight and tomorrow,
:09:21. > :09:24.the risk of either mist or sea fog too, very murky conditions,
:09:25. > :09:28.quite a lot of cloud as well capable of producing a few spots of drizzle
:09:29. > :09:31.but generally for all of us, it will feel quite a bit milder.
:09:32. > :09:35.The reason for that is where the air is coming from, coming from a long
:09:36. > :09:37.way down across the south-west, trickling weather fronts towards us
:09:38. > :09:40.at the same time which means we continue with a lot of cloud
:09:41. > :09:45.Thursday, perhaps a brief bit of brightness before we see further
:09:46. > :09:46.spots of drizzle before he head into Friday.
:09:47. > :09:48.All the while, though, with southerly winds,
:09:49. > :09:51.we are going to see higher temperatures so finally, we are
:09:52. > :09:55.The rain that we saw earlier today will gradually move away
:09:56. > :09:58.Brisk south-westerly winds will continue to feed in a fair
:09:59. > :10:02.amount of cloud and produce some hill fog through the night to come
:10:03. > :10:04.and a relatively mild night, really, with overnight temperatures probably
:10:05. > :10:08.hanging around nine or 10 degrees, so staying in double figures,
:10:09. > :10:10.maybe a few places getting lower than that, most of us
:10:11. > :10:15.And then tomorrow, we're going to have lots of drizzle in the wind,
:10:16. > :10:17.brisk south-west winds and temperatures getting back up
:10:18. > :10:21.to ten, 11, possibly even 12 degrees as a maximum.
:10:22. > :10:25.But it will be quite a blustery day and there is the risk of some mist
:10:26. > :10:30.The warmth across Spain and Portugal will gradually drift northwards
:10:31. > :10:34.through Thursday and into Friday, hopefully beginning to lift
:10:35. > :10:38.the temperatures up so we will find temperatures will rise as we head
:10:39. > :10:40.through the rest of this week, possibly by Friday up
:10:41. > :10:45.to 13 or 14 degrees, with the wind still from the south,
:10:46. > :10:48.brighter but fresher as we head into the weekend.
:10:49. > :10:58.You are up-to-date with the news from the Channel Islands. We will be
:10:59. > :11:02.back at 6:30am tomorrow. Have a good night.
:11:03. > :11:09.rain on Saturday. The national picture now from Nick Miller.
:11:10. > :11:14.It looks like next week high pressure will become a player again
:11:15. > :11:18.in our weather, settling things down for some of us for a time but until
:11:19. > :11:23.then it is low-pressure, rain moving across the UK overnight but not wet
:11:24. > :11:27.all the time. Many of us at a fine day today, this was at you from West
:11:28. > :11:30.Yorkshire and Yorkshire and northern England and Northern Ireland will
:11:31. > :11:36.farewell tomorrow, after this frontal system has pushed on through
:11:37. > :11:37.the UK with rain. But as it does, it introduces milder air so for the
