Good evening, I'm Luxmy Gopal. for the news where you are. | :00:10. | :00:11. | |
A new report shows alcohol misuse is the leading cause of referrals | :00:12. | :00:14. | |
Drinking contributed to nearly half of all community service sentences | :00:15. | :00:18. | |
Alcohol is the single biggest contributory factor to offending. | :00:19. | :00:26. | |
One that Jersey Probation Service has been tackling for decades. | :00:27. | :00:31. | |
But where alcohol related offences are being committed is changing. | :00:32. | :00:36. | |
The Chief Probation Officer says they are seeing | :00:37. | :00:38. | |
a shift away from incidents connected to socialising. | :00:39. | :00:41. | |
We see less of that work than we used to. | :00:42. | :00:46. | |
We're still seeing drink-driving and we only see people when they're | :00:47. | :00:52. | |
repeat offenders or when the level is at a high reading | :00:53. | :00:58. | |
and where custody is a possibility so that's a big worry. | :00:59. | :01:03. | |
It's quite often a factor in domestic violence | :01:04. | :01:06. | |
I wouldn't say that alcohol was the cause of the offending | :01:07. | :01:11. | |
by any means but it's certainly often present in those offences too. | :01:12. | :01:14. | |
In their latest report, alcohol contributed to 42% | :01:15. | :01:18. | |
of referrals to the Probation Service. | :01:19. | :01:21. | |
Overshadowing the other factors related to offending | :01:22. | :01:24. | |
including aggression, emotional instability and drugs. | :01:25. | :01:29. | |
Probation staff work with people to help them develop the skills | :01:30. | :01:33. | |
and confidence they need to control their addictions. | :01:34. | :01:37. | |
They are also working with other support agencies | :01:38. | :01:39. | |
It's no secret we have a big drink or drug problem in the island | :01:40. | :01:45. | |
and I believe that this report highlights that we are actually | :01:46. | :01:48. | |
doing the best we can to deal with the problem | :01:49. | :01:51. | |
and with that is a lot more collaborative working which is, | :01:52. | :01:55. | |
I believe, is a contributing factor to the success of this report | :01:56. | :01:59. | |
and if we carry on doing that then I think we're making a big dent | :02:00. | :02:02. | |
While problems connected to alcohol abuse won't go away, | :02:03. | :02:07. | |
agencies hope that by working together they can control it. | :02:08. | :02:10. | |
Guernsey Police say the public's help is crucial in fighting child | :02:11. | :02:19. | |
This is part of a video which the force will be posting | :02:20. | :02:33. | |
online over the weekend as part of a national campaign. | :02:34. | :02:35. | |
They're asking people to be on the lookout | :02:36. | :02:37. | |
for inappropriate relationships between adults and children. | :02:38. | :02:40. | |
The child is brought into a relationship where they can | :02:41. | :02:44. | |
confuse the relationship with love and attention, the perpetrator | :02:45. | :02:49. | |
Items, expensive items such as phones and tablets, | :02:50. | :02:56. | |
they can give them cigarettes and alcohol, that sort of thing. | :02:57. | :03:01. | |
Jersey's Infrastructure Department says it's confident the island's | :03:02. | :03:04. | |
planned new hospital will come in on budget. | :03:05. | :03:07. | |
A scrutiny panel is looking at proposals to borrow nearly | :03:08. | :03:11. | |
?450 million to fund the project before they're debated | :03:12. | :03:13. | |
The Minister says they need a decision as soon as possible. | :03:14. | :03:19. | |
As you may have seen in the national news today, it's been 50 years | :03:20. | :03:22. | |
since the Torrey Canyon disaster devastated wildlife | :03:23. | :03:25. | |
in the Channel Island and its impact is still being felt today. | :03:26. | :03:28. | |
It was an oil tanker that struck a reef off | :03:29. | :03:31. | |
the Isles of Scilly in 1967, causing the world's | :03:32. | :03:33. | |
His report contains some upsetting images. | :03:34. | :03:46. | |
The tanker has moved aground at the Torrey Canyon. | :03:47. | :03:48. | |
More than 40,000 tonnes of crude oil. | :03:49. | :03:50. | |
And that menace was heading towards the Channel Islands. | :03:51. | :03:55. | |
In a last-ditch attempt to send the supertanker to the bottom | :03:56. | :03:57. | |
of the sea and burn off the oil, the RAF and Royal Navy dropped | :03:58. | :04:01. | |
Thousands of birds and marine life were killed | :04:02. | :04:10. | |
Further damage was caused by the heavy use of detergents | :04:11. | :04:15. | |
Decades later and Guernsey's wildlife was still suffering. | :04:16. | :04:22. | |
A lot of the oil was scooped up and dumped in this quarry. | :04:23. | :04:26. | |
Guernsey Police even sent a diver below the oil to investigate. | :04:27. | :04:29. | |
Just over seven years ago I filmed this quiet corner of shame | :04:30. | :04:36. | |
For these birds who landed in the quarry where oil | :04:37. | :04:45. | |
Since then this toxic quarry of oil has been transformed by a process | :04:46. | :04:53. | |
known as 'bio remediation', where organisms feed | :04:54. | :04:56. | |
off the oil turning it into carbon dioxide and water. | :04:57. | :04:59. | |
But even then it came too late, with dead birds still floating face | :05:00. | :05:03. | |
Work is still a problem. It is extremely distressing to see oil | :05:04. | :05:31. | |
It's extremely sad to see oil affecting birds in this modern age. | :05:32. | :05:45. | |
There is so much regulation and so many rules to prevent oil | :05:46. | :05:48. | |
being dumped over the side of boats or tanks being cleaned, these things | :05:49. | :05:51. | |
It is heartbreaking for us here at the animal shelter. | :05:52. | :05:55. | |
Around all the coastal areas of the British Isles, | :05:56. | :05:57. | |
the animals being affected by things gone on decades gone by. | :05:58. | :05:59. | |
The Torrey Canyon disaster lead to an environmental catastrophe | :06:00. | :06:02. | |
and many hope nothing like it will ever happen again. | :06:03. | :06:04. | |
That's all from me for now. Have a great weekend. | :06:05. | :06:06. | |
I'll leave you with David and the weather forecast. | :06:07. | :06:11. | |
Good evening. I think we'll see a lot of cloud this weekend, capable | :06:12. | :06:20. | |
of reducing a fuse box of Lane. We're on the edge of an area of high | :06:21. | :06:26. | |
pressure but it is not close enough, several weather fronts are close | :06:27. | :06:30. | |
enough to us to produce a lot of cloud and spots of rain. That | :06:31. | :06:34. | |
continues through Saturday and Sunday. Perhaps more wives read more | :06:35. | :06:42. | |
persistent rain on Monday. -- more widespread. Overnight tonight, | :06:43. | :06:50. | |
drizzle and light rain will continue through the morning. Temperature is | :06:51. | :06:56. | |
no lower than eight or 9 degrees. Not a particularly right day. Very | :06:57. | :07:03. | |
cloudy, spots of rain off and on, brisk and westerly wind and a top | :07:04. | :07:08. | |
temperature of ten or 11 degrees. The outlook for Sunday is similar. | :07:09. | :07:13. | |
Very little change, slightly less windy. Rain on Monday, cooler and | :07:14. | :07:19. | |
art on Tuesday when finally the weather front clears. Over the next | :07:20. | :07:26. | |
three days, a lot of cloud, spots of rain. | :07:27. | :07:33. | |
it is rather breezy. Now for the national outlook. | :07:34. | :07:40. | |
It was quite a wet day across many northern and western parts of the | :07:41. | :07:48. | |
UK. This was the view in Lancashire not so long ago. For the weekend we | :07:49. | :07:52. | |
are looking to see further rain, all coming from the west, so the further | :07:53. | :07:58. | |
east you are, it should be drier. It will be quite a windy weekend for | :07:59. | :07:59. | |
all parts. | :08:00. | :08:01. |
