:00:24. > :00:37.Your whole life is just changed and you are thinking, how many weeks or

:00:58. > :01:03.in St Helier yesterday, calling for the skipper of the local
:01:04. > :01:06.lifeboat crew to be reinstated. He was sacked last week
:01:07. > :01:08.after being accused of breaching the RNLI's Code of Conduct,

:01:30. > :01:32.Stuart Poppum, who's the chairman of the RNLI UK,
:01:33. > :01:35.comes on a plane and comes to Jersey, meets with our
:01:36. > :01:37.Chief Minister's Department, who've been amazing,
:01:38. > :01:41.and resolves this situation. Last week, Andy Hibbs said
:01:42. > :01:44.he and his men were being punished for challenging a culture
:01:45. > :01:48.of bullying in the charity, something that the RNLI
:01:49. > :01:50.says it's investigating. A crew from the UK has been brought
:01:51. > :01:55.in to man the St Helier lifeboat. The RNLI takes any allegations
:01:56. > :01:58.of bullying very seriously and that will be investigated
:01:59. > :02:02.separately from this. I think our main appeal
:02:03. > :02:05.at the moment is to get the crew back in the room,
:02:06. > :02:08.have a chat with us, sit down, A petition calling for the skipper

:04:18. > :04:21.are diagnosed in Jersey every year - with eight in ten found
:04:22. > :04:24.in people aged over 60. It's hoped by raising awareness
:04:25. > :04:27.in the month of April, more people will get screened

:05:01. > :05:02.and said, "Sit down. I'm very sorry to tell
:05:03. > :05:04.you you've got bowel cancer." Your whole life has just changed
:05:05. > :05:10.and you're thinking, "How many weeks have I got or how

:05:15. > :05:20.cancer in Jersey every year. The General Hospital currently sees
:05:21. > :05:24.two out of three people take up the screening programme
:05:25. > :05:28.available to 60-year-olds. But they hope more will,

:05:32. > :05:36.develop from nothing. The first thing people develop
:05:37. > :05:39.are small lesions called polyps, and these are small growths

:05:43. > :05:48.of seven to ten years can go With the bowel cancer screening,
:05:49. > :05:53.we pick these polyps up, remove them and therefore prevent
:05:54. > :05:55.them from growing and Dr Duku also says diet
:05:56. > :06:01.and lifestyle changes can help, and islanders must see their doctor
:06:02. > :06:03.if they have any symptoms, He's now been given the all-clear,
:06:04. > :06:12.but is warning others. And especially men don't talk
:06:13. > :06:17.about it, so now I definitely talk about it and tell people if you've
:06:18. > :06:22.had the letter, go down and get seen If you suspect anything, just do it,
:06:23. > :06:27.because otherwise I don't know if I would be here today,
:06:28. > :06:34.that's for sure. A group of volunteers in Guernsey
:06:35. > :06:38.is steadily transforming a neglected La Valette Legacy Team
:06:39. > :06:42.is revamping the bathing pools Work on one of the pools
:06:43. > :06:47.is nearing completion before Mike Wilkins went to see how
:06:48. > :06:53.things were progressing. Low tide and an
:06:54. > :06:56.opportunity to drill. These men are putting
:06:57. > :06:59.right what they feel has The quality before has been very
:07:00. > :07:06.poor and everything holding the whole of the concrete together
:07:07. > :07:13.has been a very small, We've now used this 30mm stainless
:07:14. > :07:20.steel bar to actually anchor into the Guernsey granite,
:07:21. > :07:25.and then on top of that, a 60mm steel bar to hold
:07:26. > :07:35.the concrete together. It won't be long before
:07:36. > :07:37.this horseshoe pool And around the corner,
:07:38. > :07:41.the gents' pool is next in line The plan is to repair
:07:42. > :07:44.storm-damaged walls, install railings and reinstate
:07:45. > :07:48.the diving boards. One of those behind the project says
:07:49. > :07:52.he's not willing to put up with public areas being allowed
:07:53. > :07:56.to fall into disrepair. There's a pride in the place now
:07:57. > :07:59.and there's the broken window syndrome, that if you don't fix
:08:00. > :08:03.the door, another will get smashed. The policy of managing
:08:04. > :08:07.decline is not something This project is funded by generous
:08:08. > :08:16.donations and a lot of volunteers. The States says whilst
:08:17. > :08:18.it would like to help, We have a capital project
:08:19. > :08:24.of ?250,000 to do sea defences, as well as the obligation
:08:25. > :08:29.to maintain the breakwaters, so this is many hundreds
:08:30. > :08:32.of thousands of pounds we spend This is a luxury, really,
:08:33. > :08:36.for the community and It's something we'd very much
:08:37. > :08:42.like to do but we simply don't This area of St Peter Port is coming
:08:43. > :08:46.alive with new restaurants and apartments, and soon the pools
:08:47. > :08:49.will be another reason to venture Weather now and Holly
:08:50. > :09:09.has your forecast. We had some unseasonably warm
:09:10. > :09:13.weather at the weekend and a bit of a drop today but nonetheless it has
:09:14. > :09:18.been a decent day with good spells of sunshine. As we had through this
:09:19. > :09:23.week we will see more sunshine at times although varying amount of
:09:24. > :09:28.cloud. We hang on to the cooler and more seasonal feel, or typical for
:09:29. > :09:32.the time of year. That could be a little rain and Sheryl at times and
:09:33. > :09:35.it will be some sunshine on occasion as well and perhaps some of the best
:09:36. > :09:38.of that is in the forecast for tomorrow because we have high
:09:39. > :09:41.pressure sitting to the west, tending to kill off any cloud and
:09:42. > :09:45.squeeze out any showers and for the time been keeping weather friends at
:09:46. > :09:50.bay. Into Wednesday we have this week when a front heading towards
:09:51. > :09:53.us, which could bring a little rain into Wednesday evening. For Thursday
:09:54. > :09:58.that clears with a couple of sharers but mostly dry on Thursday and first
:09:59. > :10:04.Lady another week Weatherford heads are way that could be some rain into
:10:05. > :10:07.Friday evening. Through the night tonight, pretty quiet, clear skies
:10:08. > :10:10.for the most part and filler like twins and these are typical
:10:11. > :10:15.temperatures but you could perhaps see some spots getting in of ground
:10:16. > :10:18.frost. And to tomorrow morning, it should be quite a nice day with good
:10:19. > :10:23.spells of sunshine and some cloud coming and going but a fairly gentle
:10:24. > :10:28.breeze for tomorrow and temperatures sticking into the low teens but at
:10:29. > :10:32.is certainly not the 21 degrees that Jersey experienced on Saturday saw a
:10:33. > :10:38.very different feel despite that sunshine. Over the coming days, some
:10:39. > :10:42.sunshine and breeze around on Wednesday by Salvatore and towards
:10:43. > :10:46.the end of the day, mostly dry on Thursday and a bit of rain later in
:10:47. > :10:48.the day on Friday. The Easter weekend keeps the cooler fuel,
:10:49. > :10:50.sunshine but also if you showers. That's your news
:10:51. > :10:52.this Monday evening. and I'll be back at
:10:53. > :11:13.6.30 tomorrow night. Good evening. Let's cut to the chase
:11:14. > :11:17.the first big holiday weekend of the year is on the horizon and if you
:11:18. > :11:22.consider last weekend as a taster for the summer, this weekend is not
:11:23. > :11:25.looking too bad. It will be a bit cooler, temperatures this week and
:11:26. > :11:28.closer to where they should be at this time of the year thanks to the
:11:29. > :11:35.north-west breed and the reason for that, if we look at the jet stream,
:11:36. > :11:36.coming across the Atlantic pushing from north to south -- north-west
