A man has been released on bail after an alleged assault involving three people in Jersey, police said.

A woman was injured in the suspected attack, but did not require medical treatment.

Before the incident, officers said a man in his 30s approached another man and a woman at the junction of Midvale Road and David Place, St Helier at about 13:00 on Thursday.

One of the men is thought to have been carrying a motorbike helmet.

Later on Thursday, a 30-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of grave and criminal assault.

Having been "squirreled away" for 35 years, the books are now back in the hands of the nurse's family.

Guernsey's Havelet Slipway bore the brunt of Friday's strong wind and waves, with the structure suffering "considerable" damage, Guernsey Harbours said.

The slipway is now closed to the public, with States staff assessing the damage.

Guernsey’s Harbourmaster Captain David Barker said: “This was a short sharp storm, with gusts up to Force Ten.

"Even though our harbours provide excellent protection from the weather, it still managed to damage some of our mooring pontoons and the slipway at Havelet Bay."

The new Aurigny planes would have cameras that give a clearer view in foggy conditions.

Officials are baffled as they try to discover why a beach in Guernsey has poor water quality.

Quality tests for Pembroke beach, in the north of the island, have been getting worse since 2003.

The Department for Environmental Health in Guernsey say it is "unable to pinpoint" why the beach has poor water quality".

Beaches in Guernsey are tested for water quality weekly during the summer period and every two weeks for the rest of the year.

Of the 13 tested, three have had their water quality categorised as poor; Pembroke, Petit Bot and Cobo.

Director of Environmental Health and Pollution Regulation, Tobin Cook, says they're continuing investigations.

Jersey Reds boss Harvey Biljon says his side must take more chances despite running in six tries as they beat Ealing.

Aurigny has announced plans to replace its entire ATR fleet at a cost of about £46m.

The airline wants to purchase new planes that have '"clearvision technology" - which will help them to land in fog.

The decision will go before the States next month.

The plan has already been looked at by the States Trading Supervisory Board and The Policy and Resources Committee as well as being reviewed by external consultants.

Mark Darby, CEO of Aurigny, says it will make a significant difference to islanders...

Jersey's environment minister says charging people to drive into St Helier at busy times could help clear traffic.

Deputy John Young thinks a congestion charge could reduce gridlock and cut emissions.

Any change would need approval from both islanders and the States.

He says it would only need to be enforced at peak times.
