  2. Nantes demand payment over Emiliano Sala transfer

    BBC Sport

    Emiliano Sala

    French club Nantes has demanded payment from Cardiff City over the £15m transfer of Emiliano Sala, BBC Wales has learned.

    Sala, along with pilot David Ibbotson, was on board the Piper Malibu N264DB which lost radar contact near Guernsey on 21 January.

    The Argentine striker was Premier League club Cardiff's record signing.

    Cardiff have withheld the first scheduled payment until they are satisfied with the documentation.

    It is understood, Nantes are threatening legal action, if they do not receive a payment within 10 days. BBC have attempted to speak to Nantes for a comment.

  3. Emiliano Sala plane: Weather could hamper recovery

    Strong tides and rough weather could hamper efforts to raise the wreck of an aircraft that crashed into the sea off Alderney two weeks ago.

    The plane, flown by pilot David Ibbotson, had footballer Emiliano Sala on board.

    Since the aircraft was found on Sunday morning, a remotely operated submarine has sent back pictures of it, as it sits on the sea bed.

    They showed a body in the wreckage - but the body has not yet been identified.

    The intention is to try to bring the body to the surface, before attempting to raise the rest of the aircraft.

    But the Air Accident Investigation Board said there would only be limited opportunities to carry out any work, because of the strong tides and rough seas.

  4. States launches recruitment campaign for social workers

    BBC Radio Jersey

    Jersey's social services hopes to save money and give better care by recruiting more social workers - instead of relying on temporary and agency staff.

    The department's planning a recruitment drive to attract more professionals from the island and the UK.

    It's offering a new degree course at Highlands College and officers will go to four recruitment fairs in England to speak to potential workers.

    Children's Minister, Senator Sam Mezec says it will give "more reliable care" for young people as well as saving money.

    "Having a stable and highly skilled workforce of social workers is crucial as we seek to protect the welfare of our most vulnerable children and young people in Jersey," he added.

    Passengers who had their flights from Jersey to Tenerife cancelled after the airline, Germania went into administration, have been offered a solution by a Jersey travel company.

    C. I. Travel Group said following an "extensive search", the service will now operate on Mondays.

    It added a weekend operation was preferred but it was "not possible to find any available aircraft to operate on either Saturday or Sunday".

    Clients will be advised of the changes throughout the day and given the option to move to the Monday flight or to cancel their booking - where they'll be provided with a full refund.

I. Travel Group

    The flight will run each Monday from 11 February to 29 April and will be operated by Smartwings - the Czech Republic's largest low cost airline - using a Boeing 737 Max aircraft.

    BBC Radio Jersey

    The budget airline Germania, which runs Jersey's FlyDirect route, has cancelled all of its flights worldwide, blaming rising fuel prices and changes in currency.

    BBC Radio Jersey

    The applicant - DF Investments - says the "outdated" office block has been empty for some time, blaming the builds size and location for the lack of interest.

    Reporter, BBC Radio Guernsey

    An island-wide programme to trap queen Asian hornets as they emerge from hibernation is being launched by the States of Guernsey.

    The project, which has been branded as "Spring Queening", will begin in the spring.

    Nearly 300 specially-baited traps, covering the whole of Guernsey will attempt to capture as many queen hornets as possible.

    Trapping the queens before they have the opportunity to raise their young and build nests will be the biggest priority ahead of the scheme's launch.

    It's part of a three-year strategy that was launched in 2018 and endorsed by Guernsey's environment committee.

    Eight Asian hornet nests were located and destroyed in Guernsey last year.
