SWINE FLU: 3 MORE CASES

There are three more cases of Swine Flu in Jersey.

So far a total of 15 people here have contracted the virus.

Yesterday UK health officials announced they can no longer contain it - and that Tamiflu is only being given to people with symptoms.

But Jersey is still in a 'containment' phase, and is aiming to limit the spread until a vaccine arrives in the autumn.

All cases here have recovered - or are recovering- well.

He says it is about battling for reform and a fairer, affordable legal system.

INFESTED TREES FELLED

Jersey's authorities are defending a decision to fell two otherwise healthy trees infested with a harmful caterpillar.

The Environment Department has had several calls from members of the public protesting at the decision to cut down two large Oaks in Peoples Park.

They were riddled with Oak Processionary Moth which is a risk to human health.

Insect expert Scott Meadows says the problem was on such a huge scale and they had no other option but remove them.

Other less affected trees at the park and in the Parade are being treated.

We are being asked to report any other sightings of the caterpillar which can be distinguished by the fact they march in line nose-to-tail.
