:00:30. > :00:36.a grilling from students More shops, ferry services and
:00:37. > :00:41.ultimately more money for Guernsey. That's what a deep water berth
:00:42. > :00:43.could provide according to a member of the island's Development
:00:44. > :00:48.and Planning Authority. Deputy Victoria Oliver says
:00:49. > :00:54.if there are wider economic benefits then the cost of building a berth
:00:55. > :00:58.could be justified. The first cruise ship
:00:59. > :01:05.passengers of the season As Guernsey doesn't have a cruise
:01:06. > :01:09.liner berth, people have to come ashore on these small boats,
:01:10. > :01:11.known as tenders. And it's something tourists
:01:12. > :01:15.didn't seem to mind today. On many cruisers we have made,
:01:16. > :01:19.we have been taking the boats onshore when the harbour was not
:01:20. > :01:30.as big for the cruise ships. We spend a lot of time at sea
:01:31. > :01:40.and we've made two cruises. Cruise ship companies are very
:01:41. > :01:52.happy visiting Guernsey, and that's reflected
:01:53. > :01:54.in the growing visitor numbers. More than 130,000 people came ashore
:01:55. > :01:57.last year, that's 10,000 more But feedback from the bigger ships
:01:58. > :02:05.shows ferrying large numbers of people to and from the shore can

:02:23. > :02:24.could be justified. It would have to show
:02:25. > :02:26.that it is a benefit that we could get a more reliable
:02:27. > :02:29.ferry service and also it would have If you are going to build
:02:30. > :02:35.something like this, if you look at Hong Kong,
:02:36. > :02:38.they have shops where their ferry terminal is, a huge outlet and it
:02:39. > :02:42.could be a benefit to the island without taking away
:02:43. > :02:46.from the main town. But the man who's responsible
:02:47. > :02:49.for Guernsey's ports says a cruise The return at the moment,
:02:50. > :02:59.it doesn't stack up. There are high capital priorities

:03:09. > :03:12.alone contribute more than ?4 million a year to Guernsey's
:03:13. > :03:15.economy, it's an issue that some An extensive search involving

:03:25. > :03:26.emergency services led to the discovery
:03:27. > :03:29.of a man's body last night. It was found at Crabby

:03:53. > :03:55.on March 3rd after catching Her body was found by fishermen

:04:26. > :04:32.the chance to grill the islands politicians at The Youth Assembly
:04:33. > :04:35.in the States Chamber. Topics which came up
:04:36. > :04:38.for debate included student Luxmy Gopal joined me earlier
:04:39. > :04:56.and I asked how it compared It was quite a similar format
:04:57. > :05:02.whether Bailiff Presiding Officer it. A lot of tough questions were
:05:03. > :05:06.put to ministers which drew praise. The students were given credit for
:05:07. > :05:13.their challenging questions and sharp observations. Was there any
:05:14. > :05:22.debate? Gas and questions on a ridge all topics. A lot of questions
:05:23. > :05:29.directly impacting on student's lives. The condition of school buses
:05:30. > :05:32.and as you mentioned, the student loans scheme. That kick-started
:05:33. > :05:40.things today with students asking why there isn't more funding in the
:05:41. > :05:44.island to help go to university. They explain the island can't afford
:05:45. > :05:49.to set up a student loans scheme on its own and the UK isn't interested
:05:50. > :05:57.in setting up a joint challenge is one. Today isn't going to lead to
:05:58. > :06:01.any immediate policy change but it covered the main topics of the day.
:06:02. > :06:07.The main thing is to get youngsters involved in politics. This is the
:06:08. > :06:11.20th you simply on the idea is to get the more engaged in politics and
:06:12. > :06:15.make them more accessible. This is what some of the students told me
:06:16. > :06:21.earlier. It is important, especially for the youth of the island. We have
:06:22. > :06:25.such a small States assembly and it is important for people to get
:06:26. > :06:29.involved and get their voice heard. It gives an opportunity for the
:06:30. > :06:34.members of the states to hear what young people have to say. It
:06:35. > :06:43.inspires people to go in the realm of politics. As young people, we are
:06:44. > :06:47.not really involved and it gives us an opportunity to get an opportunity
:06:48. > :06:55.to learn what is going on inside there. What is the impact? It is
:06:56. > :07:00.hoped it could be felt in a wider democratic process. The bailiff
:07:01. > :07:05.asked students to remember it was their duty to vote in elections.
:07:06. > :07:08.Historically, there has always been a low turnout of young voters and it
:07:09. > :07:11.is hoped it will tackle that. Do you remember this
:07:12. > :07:12.stunning installation at the Tower of London -
:07:13. > :07:16.well in Jersey this year to mark Remembrance Sunday there are plans
:07:17. > :07:18.for a swathe of poppies - albeit not on the same scale
:07:19. > :07:21.as London - but with a twist. Alison Moss went
:07:22. > :07:25.to find out more... Here we are in Jersey's
:07:26. > :07:26.Central market. The old Victorian fountain
:07:27. > :07:31.is being refurbished but also that Tell me about this
:07:32. > :07:43.big vision of yours. It started very small and the idea
:07:44. > :07:45.was to get volunteers from the community to make poppies,
:07:46. > :07:48.knit, crochet, whatever, so we could do a display
:07:49. > :07:51.for Remembrance Day. Also forpeople to reflect
:07:52. > :07:57.on what remembrance means to them. It is a community-based thing
:07:58. > :08:00.and we are trying to get community spirit back into this beautiful
:08:01. > :08:08.market and for the island. Initially my first
:08:09. > :08:15.thoughts were 5000. There are classes being held
:08:16. > :08:22.in the central market on how to learn to crochet but how
:08:23. > :08:25.difficult is it for a novice It is tricky because you have to be
:08:26. > :08:32.confident with the first stitch. Hopefully there will be thousands
:08:33. > :08:44.of poppies by the time November comes around and we will come back
:08:45. > :08:56.then to have a look. Now lets take a look at the latest
:08:57. > :09:09.weather forecast with David Braine. Good evening. At this time of year,
:09:10. > :09:14.if we get any sunshine like we have had today, it is quite pleasant.
:09:15. > :09:20.However, there are showers dotted around and it feels like winter. A
:09:21. > :09:24.lovely shot taken today. We will continue to see a risk of showers
:09:25. > :09:27.tonight and tomorrow. Some sunny spells through the afternoon and
:09:28. > :09:36.lighter winds than we have seen today. You can see the line of cloud
:09:37. > :09:40.on the satellite picture. This next line is a rash of showers that will
:09:41. > :09:49.come in later on tonight. It will be around during the morning. We are in
:09:50. > :09:55.the centre of high pressure. Feeling pleasant with light winds and stop
:09:56. > :09:59.also the risk of slow-moving showers. Through Thursday into
:10:00. > :10:05.Friday, we draw easterly winds and it means seeing some lower
:10:06. > :10:10.temperatures. Overnight tonight, it is initially dry but this line of
:10:11. > :10:15.showers will turn up. By the time we get to the small hours of the
:10:16. > :10:22.morning, we are looking at somewhere whether for a time. Blustery winds
:10:23. > :10:28.also. Five Celsius is the minimum temperature. We have a wet start of
:10:29. > :10:31.the day. Sunny spells and a few showers. Lighter winds than we have
:10:32. > :11:01.seen today with a top temperature of eight Celsius.
:11:02. > :11:14.Heavy rain, snow and ice are all in the forecast once again. It was
:11:15. > :11:18.quite a wintry scene today, especially in Scotland. Some very
:11:19. > :11:22.cold looking winter skies here, and we had some snow falling at times in
:11:23. > :11:25.West Lothian. For a while earlier today, there were quite a few
:11:26. > :11:31.showers running through central Scotland, all in that cold air.
:11:32. > :11:37.Right now, we have two areas of cloud, one in northern Scotland and
:11:38. > :11:39.this deepening area bringing heavy rain into south-west England and
:11:40. > :11:43.Wales overnight, with snow over the hills. That wetter weather will move
