The States of Jersey Statistics Unit has published figures which measure Jersey's economy in 2016.

Overall, the report says:

• The average standard of living declined in 2016 by 0.3%, because the total economic output was lower than the increase in residents and is 18% lower than in 2007. This figure is known as the gross value added (GVA)
• GVA per head of population in Jersey in 2016 was £40,200 per person. That's the amount of money the island makes minus the population, divided by the population
• The GVA figure for Jersey is 53% greater than in the UK

The jellyfish-like creatures have been spotted around the UK recently, including in Blackpool Sands and at several other locations in Devon, Cornwall and Wales.

People should not touch them, experts said, as they could still sting when out of the water.

The NHS recommends, external using tweezers or a clean stick, and gloves if possible, to remove man-of-war tentacles.

If symptoms become more severe, or a sensitive part of the body has been stung, people should seek medical help.

Meanwhile, the island has been chosen to host the next championships in 2019.

"I am so delighted our progress over the last few years," said 2019 event co-ordinator Garry Collins.

Politicians in Guensey's States have approved removing part of the wall at the east end of L'Ancresse Bay.

Deputy Barry Brehaut, president of the committee behind approved plans to remove a section of the L'Ancresse East sea wall, said he was "pleased" but not "overjoyed" by the decision, as it will the result in the removal of a family-run kiosk.

"I was pleased to get it through because I think it's absolutely the right thing to do," he said.

"But you can't feel overjoyed with a decision like this because there's a family with a business. They wanted a different outcome, and, for them, we'll rebuild the facilities with a public-private partnership, and that wasn't the outcome they were looking for."

"Over the long-term, this is a good decision because the volume we'd have to spend on any repaired wall would be a huge amount of money."

Another ferry company, Manche Iles Express, has put forward interest in running a Jersey to Guernsey inter-island ferry route financially backed by both governments.

Condor Ferries has already said it would be interested, as has Guernsey-based company Bumblebee Boat Cruises.

Manche Iles Express is part-funded by a regional French government.

The provider said it had already been operating a Normandy to Channel Islands service since 2005, and, should a tender be put out, it would be prepared to double the amount of crossings between April and September to 86.

Guernsey's politicians have approved removing part of the wall at the east end of L'Ancresse Bay.

After a day of debate, members voted 17 to 15 in favour of the motion, with two abstentions and six members absent.

The kiosk and toilets in the area will be removed and relocated using a public-private partnership.

Some islanders have been concerned about flooding, the cost of the project, and how it would affect the beach and losing some of Guernsey's heritage.

Environment and Infrastructure President Barry Brehaut said he understood some would be upset, but it was not the "thousands" other politicians had suggested.

A midwife suspended for a year after failures relating to the death of two babies in Guernsey's maternity ward was not struck off after showing "full insight and remorse", the hearing panel has said.

Alexander Coleman, Nursing and Midwifery Council panel chairman, said Antonia Manousaki was a junior member of staff at the time of the failures.

Midwife Tujia Roussel's dishonesty "impeded a timely and proper investigation" into the death of a baby at Guernsey's Princess Elizabeth Hospital in 2012, said the head of a Nursing and Midwifery Council panel.

Roussel was previously been found guilty of failures relating to the deaths of two babies at the island's Princess Elizabeth Hospital. She has now been struck off.

Speaking after she was struck off, the panel's chairman, Alexander Coleman, said her "actions and omissions were serious and significant, and involved multiple departures from the standards expected of a registered midwife".

He said: "The panel found that Mrs Roussel's insight is self-focussed and lacks any meaningful appreciation of how detrimental her misconduct has been, and is, to the wider public interest.

"The panel consider that a striking-off order is the only sanction that will adequately satisfy the public interest. This includes: the protection of patients, maintenance of public confidence in the profession and in the NMC as its regulator, and the declaring and upholding proper standards of conduct and behaviour."

A senior midwife has been found to have performed her job at an "unacceptable" level with the "seriousness of her misconduct is significant" by a Nursing and Midwifery Council panel.

It ruled Lisa Granville be struck off the nursing register after failures relating to the deaths of two babies.

The panel said:

A review commissioned by the NMC found serious concerns with midwifery on the island.

A senior midwife who has been struck off failed to properly investigate the death of a baby in 2012.

The Nursing and Midwifery Council found that, if Lisa Granville had carried out adequate checks following that death in 2012, the death of second baby in 2014 "may have been prevented".

The deaths at the Loveridge Ward, at Guernsey's Princess Elizabeth Hospital, led to an investigation of the ward, which found a culture of administering drugs without prescriptions and not speaking to consultants in what was described as "The Guernsey Way".

A decision to administer a drug to women in the second stage of labour, which in 50% of cases increased the baby's heart rate, without a consultant would not be made "anywhere else in Britain", the council's hearing was told.

The NMC panel found Ms Granville had "significantly departed" from acceptable nursing standards and her practice was deemed impaired on grounds of public interest and public protection.

Her colleague, Tujia Roussel, was also struck-off after being charged with significant misconduct.

A third midwife, Antonia Manousaki, was handed a 12-month suspension order after her fitness to practice was also found to be impaired.

Two Guernsey midwives have been struck off the nursing register by the Nursing and Midwifery Council.

Lisa Granville and Tuija Roussel had previously been found guilty of failures relating to the deaths of two babies at the island's Princess Elizabeth Hospital.

Antonia Manousaki, a third midwife, was suspended for a year.

A new law to establish basic standards for housing in Jersey is being proposed.

The island's environment minister said it would ensure "sub-standard" accommodation "did not exist anymore".

Environmental Services has recorded examples of rental properties in serious disrepair with holes in ceilings and excessive mould.

Landlords could face criminal charges if they do not adhere to the standards set out in the proposals.

La Societe Guernesiaise says it is introducing B-Lines to the island in an effort to the solve the problem of a loss of insect habitats.

B-Lines are insect pathways which create routes between the countryside and towns, so insects can easily move from one wildlife area to the next.

The project received £1,000 in grants, and La Societe said it would be looking for help from businesses, schools, community groups and individual householders to get it up and running.

Three Jersey police officers have been reinstated on appeal after being prosecuted under the Data Protection Law in the past seven years.

A Freedom of Information request showed the officers were taken to court over data issues and either dismissed or asked to resign.

But, after they appealed, all three were allowed back into the force.

Eleven other officers have been disciplined or prosecuted for data protection offences since July 2006.

Most were dealt with internally. Others resigned or retired before they could be prosecuted.

Jersey civil servants have spent nearly £2m on States payment cards this year.

A spokesman said the cards are linked to each department's budget, and are used instead of cash.

The details, from a Freedom of Information request, show that the Education Department had the highest number of cards - nearly 500 - and spent nearly £1m last year.

The information request asked for details of how many cards each department had issued, and how much they had spent.

Altogether, there are 1,174 states cards in circulation.

Education has far more of these than any other department - partly because they can be issued to teachers.
