Jac Holmes died while fighting alongside Kurdish forces against the Islamic State group in Syria.

The parents of Jac Holmes, the 23-year-old from Poole who was killed while fighting with the Kurdish YPG forces against the Islamic State group in Syria, have been speaking after an inquest into his death.

The inquest in Bournemouth heard Jac Holmes, 24, died in October while attempting to defuse a suicide bomb belt left by IS in Raqqa.

Speaking after the hearing, his mother Angie Blannin, from Dover, Kent, said she had spoken to her son the day before he was killed, when he said he was "ready to leave" the war zone.

Less than 40% of 999 calls were for immediate emergencies in Kent last year.

Data from Kent Police has revealed only 38% of calls from April 2017 to March 2018 were due to a life being at risk or a crime being committed.

Out of those emergency calls, only around half were then considered incidents.

Kent Police and Crime Commissioner Matthew Scott is urging people use 101 to report non-urgent crimes, or the force's website.

At the Kent and Medway crime panel yesterday, councillors raised concerns about the amount of "abandoned" calls and queried whether people give up after waiting too long.

Mr Scott said: "There needs to be a distinction between those who may well have given up waiting but also an acknowledgement of pocket dials.

"We need to understand the other calls we get that aren't emergencies and why people are using 999."

Pete, Carl and the boys have announced today that they'll be headlining and curating the third and final day of the Wheels & Fins Festival in Kent on 9 September.

The seaside fest will take place in Joss Bay, Broadstairs (Fun fact: The town was once home to Charles Dickens).

It's just down the road from The Albion Rooms - aka the band's own new hotel / studio complex in Margate.

So while the Arctic Monkeys have been busy making a metaphorical hotel for you all to visit The Libs have quite literally done so.

The band have posted a YouTube video of them on a late night reccy to the bay, which will play host to a "fantabulous cornucopia of musical delights".

And while we do like to be beside the seaside, there is some fruity language so we'll let you find that for yourselves.

Surrey County Council is to review how it provides support for disabled school children and those with special educational needs, as well as training for newly qualified teachers.

A number of educational support services are to be brought in-house or contracted out to other local authorities after B4S, the council's joint venture with support services group Babcock, is wound down in March next year.

The council is also considering options for how it will deliver HR support, governor appointments and provision for religious education.

It could potentially use staff from Orbis - the partnership with East Sussex and Brighton and Hove councils - through multi-academy trusts, other local authorities or via private companies.

Conservationists are dismissing new evidence which appears to show wild birds aren't as badly affected by wind turbines as previously thought.

It follows research carried out at the Thanet offshore wind farm over a two-year period.

Experts say the study is 'inadequate'.

The numbers detained for illegal entry by Kent, Surrey and Sussex Police has fallen 74% in two years.

Thirteen hundred people were arrested in 2015, compared to 350 in 2017.

The fall coincides with the closure of the so-called "Jungle" migrant camp and increased security at Eurotunnel and the Port of Calais.

The University of Surrey has apologised after the personal details of more than 90,000 people were placed at risk.

A password mistakenly published online by an employee at one of the university's software suppliers left sensitive data of staff and students as well as members of Surrey Sports Park exposed.

At one stage names, dates of birth, contact numbers, health information, bank accounts and sort codes could have been taken.

The university said the data was only accessible by people on the university campus and signed onto their network, that the data was quickly secured and there is "no evidence it was accessed maliciously".

People are being advised to check their bank accounts and stay vigilant.

The university has reported itself to the Information Commissioner's office.

Field crickets are being brought back from the brink of extinction by 'ticklers'.

The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB) and conservation agency Natural England are setting up new colonies and growing existing colonies of the species in Surrey and Sussex.

Experts 'tickle' the young endangered insects, or nymphs, with a blade of grass as they begin to hatch underground.

As they emerge from their burrows they can be caught and moved to new - specially selected - areas to form new colonies.

One of these colony sites is Pulborough Brooks reserve in West Sussex.

At Farnham Heath, Surrey, an existing colony will be extended to help ensure the future of the species.

Conservationists say creating new populations is "vital" as it reduces the risk of losing the entire species to a single catastrophe, such as a fire.
