  3. 'Shock' £140,000 donation to fight Aids and HIV

    BBC Radio Jersey

    People who have HIV or Aids or have been affected by the disease are being asked to tell a Channel Island charity how they could be better supported.

    Equality charity Liberate have been given an unexpected £140,000 donation to be used to support the fight against the disease.

    The CEO of the charity, Vic Tanner-Davy, said they want people to tell them how best to use it.

    It's about finding out what the most useful thing would be for us to do across the Channel Islands with that donation. And that's why we're doing the research that we're doing at the moment - asking the public to get involved with the survey that we're releasing on 1 December to mark World Aids Day."

  4. Sark lights to shine on

    BBC Radio Guernsey

    Sark's lights will stay on tonight, after a last-minute agreement was reached in a power dispute.

    David Gordon-Brown, who owns Sark Electricity, had threatened to shut off the supply at midnight tonight after being told to reduce the price for the 300 households in the island.

    Sark Electricity

    A deal was reached in the early hours for the island's government, Chief Pleas, to purchase Sark Electricity.

    Sark Seigneur Major Christopher Beaumont described the deal as the "best outcome".

    "It's short term, but short term with a purpose to do a valuation with the aim of cheaply purchasing the company that generates electricity on Sark," he said.

    "Both parties agreed this was the best outcome."
