After an early lead Jersey Reds have lost the chance to make history | :00:15. | :00:20. | |
losing to Munster A by a single point in the British | :00:21. | :00:23. | |
Hopes were high when Jersey scored the first try just over | :00:24. | :00:27. | |
An adrenaline-fuelled 15 minutes followed with Reds | :00:28. | :00:34. | |
Munster found their stride shortly before half time and continued | :00:35. | :00:42. | |
to make progress leading by one point right up until | :00:43. | :00:44. | |
Inflation has doubled in Guernsey, rising to a three year high. | :00:45. | :00:53. | |
The latest official figures show the overall cost of living rose | :00:54. | :01:00. | |
by almost 2.5% in the year to March - | :01:01. | :01:03. | |
In particular, increasing fuel, leisure and household service | :01:04. | :01:09. | |
prices have made life in Guernsey more expensive. | :01:10. | :01:13. | |
And if you exclude mortgage payments then the cost of living has | :01:14. | :01:16. | |
A 52-year-old Jersey man has pleaded not guilty to murdering | :01:17. | :01:24. | |
Michael Charles Brown, pictured here arriving | :01:25. | :01:29. | |
at the Royal Court this morning, is charged with killing | :01:30. | :01:35. | |
John Stephen McCarthy at Vauxhall Gardens in St Helier | :01:36. | :01:37. | |
He denied murder but entered a guilty plea to the lesser charge | :01:38. | :01:45. | |
of manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility. | :01:46. | :01:48. | |
A date for his trial will be set in six weeks. | :01:49. | :01:54. | |
Police are reassuring islanders there's no significant risk | :01:55. | :01:56. | |
to the community despite a rise in the number of sex offenders | :01:57. | :01:59. | |
A report from the group that oversees dangerous and complex | :02:00. | :02:07. | |
criminals shows there are now 116 registered sex | :02:08. | :02:10. | |
offenders in the island, most of them living in the community. | :02:11. | :02:14. | |
The Head of Crime Services says even the most serious offenders can | :02:15. | :02:17. | |
You can never completely eliminate risk, but the public protection | :02:18. | :02:27. | |
arrangements that we have in place here are very effective. | :02:28. | :02:30. | |
There is a real commitment from all those involved to work | :02:31. | :02:43. | |
together to work with offenders to minimise any risk | :02:44. | :02:45. | |
Visit Jersey want their Guernsey counterparts to enter | :02:46. | :02:50. | |
into an official agreement to market the Channel Islands together. | :02:51. | :02:53. | |
The tourism body hopes by promoting island hopping holidays | :02:54. | :02:55. | |
more tourists will be enticed from Europe. | :02:56. | :02:57. | |
But is it an idea shared by Guernsey, and can it work | :02:58. | :02:59. | |
They both have beautiful beaches, sites of historical interest | :03:00. | :03:07. | |
and iconic characters, but where Jersey and Guernsey used | :03:08. | :03:11. | |
to compete for tourists in the past, they are now marketing them | :03:12. | :03:14. | |
together, to attract European customers. | :03:15. | :03:16. | |
Visit Jersey want to make their joint approach more official | :03:17. | :03:20. | |
and have drafted a Memorandum of Understanding, but Guernsey have | :03:21. | :03:22. | |
It's really good to think that Jersey would like to be so close | :03:23. | :03:29. | |
to us and we would like to work with Jersey wherever possible, | :03:30. | :03:32. | |
However, in our heart, we have to look after Guernsey | :03:33. | :03:35. | |
and Guernsey tourism, but wherever possible | :03:36. | :03:37. | |
if we are stronger with Jersey, then we will definitely | :03:38. | :03:39. | |
But can they continue to market the delights of each other if one | :03:40. | :03:43. | |
Let's continue to work well together. | :03:44. | :03:51. | |
We're already in a sense framing that in the actions in the joint | :03:52. | :03:54. | |
marketing that we are doing in Germany and elsewhere. | :03:55. | :03:56. | |
So, a piece of paper is a piece of paper. | :03:57. | :03:59. | |
It is what we do in the marketplace that is really important. | :04:00. | :04:03. | |
But island-hopping holidays can only work if you can actually get | :04:04. | :04:06. | |
A number of Air Berlin routes connecting Europe | :04:07. | :04:11. | |
to the Channel Islands were lost in 2016, impacting this | :04:12. | :04:13. | |
Tour operators say it is vital these are re-established. | :04:14. | :04:20. | |
If people can't get here, they can't stay here. | :04:21. | :04:25. | |
So, let's get working on securing more of those routes back | :04:26. | :04:30. | |
from Germany and exploring other opportunities, as has been indicated | :04:31. | :04:34. | |
from Scandinavia and elsewhere, because they are absolutely critical | :04:35. | :04:36. | |
Jersey and Guernsey will still continue to compete for UK tourism, | :04:37. | :04:44. | |
but how their partnership will flourish under | :04:45. | :04:48. | |
the Channel Island flag to Europe, with or without an official | :04:49. | :04:50. | |
agreement, will not be known until next year. | :04:51. | :04:58. | |
75 years ago today, three Jewish women were forced | :04:59. | :05:00. | |
to leave Guernsey by the occupying German forces. | :05:01. | :05:03. | |
They would eventually die in Auschwitz. | :05:04. | :05:07. | |
For many years their story had been a sensitive and even taboo subject. | :05:08. | :05:13. | |
From September schoolchildren will be taught about the women | :05:14. | :05:16. | |
and their story, which became clearer | :05:17. | :05:18. | |
in the 90s when a file came to | :05:19. | :05:19. | |
I realise it was a cause of embarrassment for the officials | :05:20. | :05:40. | |
in office then, some of whom are still living on the island. | :05:41. | :05:43. | |
I thought it was easy for them to forget about it, | :05:44. | :05:46. | |
And if you'd like to hear more about the story of those three women | :05:47. | :05:50. | |
there's a link to a longer documentary on our | :05:51. | :05:52. | |
After a shorter working week the weekend is here. | :05:53. | :05:56. | |
Now for that all important weather, David Braine has your forecast. | :05:57. | :06:03. | |
More settled and quiet weather this weekend. It will change next week. | :06:04. | :06:11. | |
Fine and dry for Saturday and Sunday. Cloud and light winds. There | :06:12. | :06:16. | |
should also be sunshine. High pressure is beginning to weaken. It | :06:17. | :06:21. | |
is travelling further out into the Atlantic over the next few days and | :06:22. | :06:24. | |
eventually becomes established away from us. High pressure still close | :06:25. | :06:32. | |
by until Sunday. By Monday this weather front introduces cold a | :06:33. | :06:36. | |
clear, arctic air, lower temperatures, and also the chance of | :06:37. | :06:43. | |
some rain. Tonight the clouds may cross the Channel towards us. It | :06:44. | :06:46. | |
will break up at the same time. It will be a cold night. Temperatures | :06:47. | :06:50. | |
will get down to 5 degrees by tomorrow boring. Tomorrow is the | :06:51. | :06:59. | |
reasonable day. Patchy cloud should break up quite nicely to allow the | :07:00. | :07:03. | |
sunshine to come through. The cloud quite thick in places. That is the | :07:04. | :07:11. | |
forecast as we head into Sunday and Monday. Both these dry with sunny | :07:12. | :07:18. | |
spells. All change on Tuesday. In a second the UK forecast. | :07:19. | :07:29. | |
marathon. Here is the outlook for the weather for the next few days | :07:30. | :07:37. | |
and Helen Willetts has the National forecast. | :07:38. | :07:43. | |
While unusual to see snow in May, it will be a shock to the system. We've | :07:44. | :07:53. | |
seen some interesting contrast. 19 degrees cost is in Scotland in the | :07:54. | :07:56. | |
sunshine today. In the sunshine only 11. The differences we are behind a | :07:57. | :08:04. | |
cold weather front. Seeing a stepped down in temperatures. The cold air | :08:05. | :08:07. | |
filtering sound so there will be a widespread ground frost across the | :08:08. | :08:11. | |
country. The week weather front still with us so we could cheat | :08:12. | :08:18. | |
patchy mist and fog. The best chance of seeing the meteor shower | :08:19. | :08:22. | |
overnight will be in those clear skies further north. A better chance | :08:23. | :08:26. | |
for south overnight. We start Saturday morning with the line of | :08:27. | :08:29. | |
cloud, the weather front from Northern Ireland through Wales, the | :08:30. | :08:33. | |
Midlands coming the south-east. The clear air following the weather | :08:34. | :08:38. | |
front. Slow to weaken and showers may follow. It's | :08:39. | :08:39. |
