You didn't kill someone really easily if you look at your mobile | :00:24. | :00:29. | |

Good evening and welcome to the late news from BBC Channel Islands. | :00:36. | :00:38. | |

The island's Attorney General has toughened up on offenders, by making | :00:49. | :00:53. | |
the crime too serious to be dealt with at parish hall level. | :00:54. | :00:56. | |
The move comes one month after Jersey Police released figures, | :00:57. | :00:58. | |
showing prosecutions of drivers using mobiles | :00:59. | :00:59. | |
was at its highest for four years. Emma Chambers reports. | :01:00. | :01:28. | |
Hard-hitting adverts shown across the British Isles, | :01:29. | :01:36. | |
to make people think twice about using a mobile phone whilst | :01:37. | :01:39. | |
driving. Now Jersey's most senior prosecutor is taking a tough stance | :01:40. | :01:41. | |
on how offenders will be dealt with, to get the message across. | :01:42. | :01:44. | |
Historically, mobile phone offences have be heard | :01:45. | :01:46. | |
by Jersey Honorary Police at parish hall level. | :01:47. | :01:48. | |
But now, anyone using a mobile phone whilst driving heavy | :01:49. | :01:50. | |
goods or hired vehicles, carrying passengers for money, | :01:51. | :01:53. | |
involved in a collision or if you text, use the internet | :01:54. | :01:55. | |
or make or send photographs while at the wheel, | :01:56. | :01:58. | |

A move supported by Jersey's Honorary Police. | :02:19. | :02:32. | |
Deer are taking a much stronger stands to make it socially | :02:33. | :02:35. | |
acceptable. Sometimes it is only when people go | :02:36. | :02:38. | |

it can have effects on their life if they disqualified from it. | :02:43. | :02:45. | |
It have a huge impact. But do people in St Helier | :02:46. | :02:48. | |
think these offences I think it should go straight | :02:49. | :02:51. | |
to court and if the people go I don't, because there | :02:52. | :03:07. | |
are 100 million other Yet, it is dangerous, but I | :03:08. | :03:14. | |
definitely think it's too serious. A serious move that prosecutors hope | :03:15. | :03:24. | |
will prevent people of taking Patients needing surgery in Guernsey | :03:25. | :03:26. | |

it is waiting for a surgeon But as Mike Wilkins reports, | :03:48. | :03:51. | |
it has meant extended injury time This man's desperate to play | :03:52. | :03:55. | |
football for his island again. Guernsey FC defender Jack Domaille | :03:56. | :03:59. | |
was injured in October. He was told four days before his | :04:00. | :04:01. | |
surgery that he would have to wait for more than five months | :04:02. | :04:04. | |
for his operation. I'd set my heart on head-on | :04:05. | :04:06. | |
and was focused for, and Social media is full | :04:07. | :04:14. | |

claims her father was told to wait two months and soon had a heart | :04:28. | :04:31. | |
attack requiring emergency surgery. The Medical Specialist Group | :04:32. | :04:40. | |
says in a statement: Jack now won't be able to play | :04:41. | :04:59. | |

bit of a struggle. Although the UK has a different | :05:20. | :05:23. | |
health system, people now have to wait a maximum of 18 weeks | :05:24. | :05:25. | |
for an operation. And for some people, | :05:26. | :05:28. | |

in St Helier last week have paid tribute to "a loving mother, | :05:31. | :05:36. | |
who will be deeply missed". Ana Rebelo was found | :05:37. | :05:39. | |
strangled in a St Helier home No-one has yet been | :05:40. | :05:41. | |
charged with her death. Today, in a statement, | :05:42. | :05:46. | |
the 51-year-old's family said they continue to grieve | :05:47. | :05:48. | |

of a former vinery site was denied. Applicants wanted to change the use | :06:21. | :06:23. | |
of the Pulias Vinery, so it It was one of two sites earmarked | :06:24. | :06:26. | |
by the States for businesses being moved from another former | :06:27. | :06:32. | |
vinery site at the Fontaine. But this morning, the Planning | :06:33. | :06:36. | |
Authority rejected the move, a decision described | :06:37. | :06:38. | |
as a victory for common sense by those who did not | :06:39. | :06:41. | |
want to see industrial David will have your weather | :06:42. | :06:43. | |
forecast in a moment, but first, the UK Met Office today presented | :06:44. | :06:57. | |
a gift to a family in Jersey to mark Mary Norman's family in St Brelade | :06:58. | :07:01. | |
has been measuring rainfall on the same site since 1917 | :07:02. | :07:04. | |
and is one of the oldest private weather stations | :07:05. | :07:07. | |
in the British Isles. Luxmy Gopal went along | :07:08. | :07:09. | |
to find out more. It is a family tradition | :07:10. | :07:11. | |
of a different kind. Nearly every day for the past | :07:12. | :07:13. | |
century, Mary's family has It started with her grandfather, | :07:14. | :07:15. | |
who needed to know rainfall trends for his farming. | :07:16. | :07:27. | |
And it's continued since. Even when there's no rain to measure | :07:28. | :07:29. | |
- as was the case today - Mary mocked this up for us | :07:30. | :07:32. | |
as an example. While April showers may have been | :07:33. | :07:37. | |
lacking, there was a showering of gifts from the UK Met Office | :07:38. | :07:40. | |
to mark the milestone. Of the 2,500 sites that record | :07:41. | :07:43. | |
rainfall across the UK and Channel Islands, | :07:44. | :07:45. | |
few are run by private volunteers I didn't really give it | :07:46. | :07:47. | |
too much thought. When we came here and I realised it | :07:48. | :07:54. | |
will be 100 years in 2017, there was something in me that | :07:55. | :07:58. | |
wanted to achieve that mark. Only because it would be | :07:59. | :08:02. | |
statistically quite I think actually the interesting | :08:03. | :08:04. | |
thing is that the mechanism for reading it has not changed | :08:05. | :08:10. | |
in that hundred years. There's a lot of talk these days | :08:11. | :08:13. | |
on climate and weather patterns, this has been going on for years | :08:14. | :08:21. | |
in farming community. To get 100 years' worth of data | :08:22. | :08:27. | |
from one site where you can spot the changes is invaluable | :08:28. | :08:30. | |
from a scientific point of view. And Met Officers say Mary's way | :08:31. | :08:37. | |
of rainfall-measuring will continue to be invaluable for | :08:38. | :08:39. | |

is the front crossing hours this afternoon. That's a pleasure will | :09:46. | :09:54. | |
still be around come the weekend, but may weaken slightly unfriendly. | :09:55. | :10:02. | |

The weather in the run-up to Christmas... Easter! I got ahead of | :11:11. | :11:18. | |
myself there! It isn't looking especially great, nor is it looking | :11:19. | :11:25. | |
