Proposed no confidence vote in Jersey States Employment Board
Adam Durbin
BBC News Online
Deputy Geoff Southern of the States Assembly is seeking a vote of no confidence in the States Employment Board (SEB) over recent public sector pay negotiations.
Islanders are currently experiencing disruption to the education sector due to industrial action being taken by teachers over pay negotiations.
The Chief Minister, Senator John le Fondré, described the proposition as "completely unjustified and totally unnecessary", going on to claim that the SEB was making "significant progress" in negotiations with teaching and civil service unions.

Suspended Jersey deputy reinstated
BBC Radio Jersey
A Jersey deputy has been reinstated as assistant minister for culture - almost two months after he was suspended for sending an email in which he called for a doctor to be sacked.
Deputy Montfort Tadier apologised to the doctor in question following his suspension.
He has referred himself to the Standards Commissioner - who is investigating before deciding what action - if any - to take.
Earlier, hours before being reinstated, Deputy Tadier told the States he was starting to lose confidence in the government of which he is now, again, a part.
He said the government is trying to "rebrand the tin with the same content" - and if the chief minister truly wants a diverse council of ministers, he needs to listen to dissenting voices.

Abuse survivors call for memorial
BBC Radio Jersey
People who survived abuse in Jersey care homes have told the care inquiry panel they don't want Haut de la Garenne to be demolished.
The former care home was the focus of the abuse inquiry - and the panel concluded its report by recommending the site should be knocked down.
The panel members are in the island to see what progress has been made on its suggestions for change.
Earlier a group that was formed after the panel published its report said they unanimously agreed the building should be saved.
Members told the panel it was not the building that hurt children.
They've called for a visible memorial at a site yet to be determined with a competition for the best design.

Extinction Rebellion protest outside States Assembly
Adam Durbin
BBC News Online
About 12 climate change protesters set up on the steps of the Royal Court House on Wednesday, handing out copies of the book "There is No Planet B" to States Assembly members.
The Guernsey group is a recently established branch of the global movement - Extinction Rebellion - which protests what they describe as the "climate emergency" facing humanity.
Lorna Pirozzolo, 42, is to lead a 12-strong team of her friends and colleagues called "Legs Miserables" in the Cancer Research UK's 10km event this Sunday.
Diagnosed with stage four breast cancer in March 2018, Lorna took up running to give herself something to focus on, challenge herself and "prevent my life whizzing by in another round of chemo".
The race is to take place only five days after a round of chemotherapy, however Ms Pirozzolo is determined to finish, saying: “I plan to get round the
course, even if I end up being pushed in a wheelbarrow – sparkles and all!”.
Jenny Ainsworth of Jersey's branch of Cancer Research UK’s said: “We’re so grateful to Lorna and Legs Miserables for
their support. They’ve already raised more than £1,000, which is fantastic."
Ms Ainsworth also encouraged islanders to take part in the event and make "a real difference in the fight against cancer", regardless of how sporty they are.

Overnight plans for motorhomes and campervans
BBC Radio Jersey
Campervan owners could be able to stay overnight in places others than campsites in Jersey - but they could be asked to pay.
Politicians agreed to consider where in the island could be suitable for overnight stops.
It's after concerns were raised about parking restrictions at Le Port in St Peter following complaints about noise and litter.
Senator Steve Pallett persuaded members to look at introducing a regulated system, which could include asking users to pay to stay.
The law, which bans overnight sleeping, is still in place.
Planning needs extra money for 'action plan'
James Rabey
BBC Radio Guernsey
Guernsey's planning committee is asking for money from the island's government for what it calls an "action plan".
It's being brought forward as an addition to the Policy and Resources Plan, which sets out government priorities.
The Development and Planning Authority currently looks at the Island Development Plan quarterly and annually to look at how it's working, and also carries out a five-year review looking at housing land supply and employment land.

Planning is now asking for funding to implement an action plan which will deal with issues the committee faces, as well as concerns from the public, although there's no detail on what specific problems it would look to tackle.
The committee said it needs the money as the action plan would be a significant process of research, review and community engagement.
States faces questions over island transport links
BBC Radio Guernsey
Transport links to Guernsey and what is being done to monitor them tops the agenda in questions to the States later.

Deputy John Gollop will ask the Committee for Economic Development what they, Policy and Resources and Condor are doing to ensure satisfactory levels of service to the island.
Mr Gollop will also ask why the committee is no longer giving resources to investigating a runway extension, and what it's doing to support the tourism and hospitality sectors.
The Committee for Employment and Social Security will also be asked why it hasn't updated the Assembly on progress relating to the reinstatement of the former Reciprocal Health Agreement.
The UK Government ended a reciprocal health agreement with Guernsey in 2009, saying it was not cost-effective.
It means anyone travelling from Guernsey to the UK or the reverse has to pay the full cost of any healthcare needed.
