There will be a red carpet and guard of honour for Mr Kemp, and other Jersey veterans of the war.

He says he expects to get emotional during tonight's film - because he still has strong memories of what happened.

The Guernsey States-owned airline has reestablished its public feedback forum.

Aurigny says as well as providing feedback and ideas, members will be consulted on potential changes to services and act as 'mystery shoppers'.

The group, which will meet quarterly, held its first meeting earlier this week.

The airline says there may be opportunities for new members to join in the future and anyone who would like to register their interest should contact Paul Ainsworth:

A nurse broke down in tears and apologised for letting her practise "go over the boundaries of midwifery" at a hearing in London.

Tuija Roussel was working on the Loveridge Ward at the Princess Elizabeth Hospital in Guernsey when Baby A was born in January 2014. The desperately ill baby required resuscitation and died.

A subsequent investigation revealed concerns about a similar case, referred to only as baby B, who died in September 2012, the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) has heard.

Ms Roussel said she wished she had challenged the culture at the hospital but said it was "difficult for one individual to challenge".

She has admitted - in the absence of a doctor - to giving the mother of Baby A a drug called Syntocinon, which speeds up delivery and quickens the baby's heart rate, without a written prescription.

"I was told I was a good midwife," Roussel told the hearing yesterday.

"I always had good feedback from my peers.

"I am so so shocked and sorry how I let my practise go over the boundaries of midwifery."

Ms Roussel and midwives Lisa Granville and Antonia Manousaki all faces charges of misconduct at the NMC.

The hearing continues.

New "safe" walking and cycling routes are being installed in St Clement to help students at Le Rocquier secondary school and a number of primary schools get to and from school safely.

Work starts on Monday on a shared cycle and walking route that will start at St Clement Parish Hall, pass through Le Rocquier playing fields and come out on to Pontorson Lane at the northern end of the playing fields.

There will also be traffic calming measures on Pontorson Lane, Rue de la Croix and Rue de Maupertis to provide a route from Le Squez and Le Marais housing estates.

This is because about 400 students come from Le Marais and Le Squez every day and that number could increase when the next phase of the Le Squez development is completed, creating hundreds of new homes.

There will also be a 12-month trial of closing Rue de Maupertuis to through traffic at the double bends.

A team of developers in Jersey are launching a "ride sharing app" based on the popular Jersey Lifts Facebook group.

They say it will allow passengers and drivers to connect in a safe and more secure way than just asking for a lift on Facebook.

Jersey's Department for Infrastructure said these are the rules around ride sharing...

• Not-for-profit lift sharing is within the law and "good for the environment"
• Accepting payment for hire or reward is a "cab service" and illegal without a cab licence
• Apps should not encourage payment between passengers and drivers
• Legitimate ridesharing will not affect car insurance but accepting payment will breach and invalidate private vehicle insurance
• Jersey's tax office publishes a flat rate expense that can be charged to cover fuel, wear and tear etc. This is currently 60p/mile
• In Jersey only PSV badge owners can offer hire for reward work

The Facebook group Jersey Lifts has launched an app to help people share car journeys together.

The controversial group lets people put a request for a lift from one place to another, and others will advertise that they are offering lifts. It is supposed to be for no fee but often users of the group will agree an amount of money in return for the ride.

The developers of the app, Initeris, say it will enable people to easily contact each other to organise their journeys. It adds the idea is legal because no money for journeys is agreed through the app.

It's been unpopular with taxi drivers who claim it's an unlicensed and unregulated taxi service, but police say it's not illegal unless money changes hands.

Fewer Guernsey children are having to be looked after off-island, and fewer are being moved within their placements, the annual report of the Island Child Protection Committee has revealed.

It also says there is now greater stability in childrens' care.

The committee was established to coordinate the work of the various agencies safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children. It says 2016 was a year of improvements across the board.

It found that only 5% of looked after children are having to be moved in their placements three or more times.

This compares with 6% of looked after children in Scotland and 10% in England.
