:01:08. > :01:11.cylinder exploded at Cotswold Airport near Cirencester. The

:04:45. > :04:49.The money approves the provhsion, in those times outside of the learning
:04:50. > :04:55.day when you can really imp`ct those children and their families. Natasha
:04:56. > :04:58.Jacobs says her daughter's Reading has improved beyond all recognition.
:04:59. > :05:03.Her books were bought with Pupil Premium money. Bugs overly
:05:04. > :05:07.expensive, you cannot just go and buy them, they are about ?50 for a
:05:08. > :05:13.decent novel. Sometimes you have other things you need to pax for.
:05:14. > :05:18.The gap between wealthy and not so wealthy used to be the widest in the
:05:19. > :05:23.whole country for the pupils for more affluent families before the
:05:24. > :05:29.better. The recent results here I Ashley should go show that has been
:05:30. > :05:36.breached the county council can report on how they can provhde
:05:37. > :05:39.education from all backgrounds. You cannot make up the whole different
:05:40. > :05:42.that you have such a lot. The money is being used very effectivdly. We
:05:43. > :05:45.are going to find how best to use the money, we have found th`t
:05:46. > :05:51.one`to`one education, doing things to make up for the fact thex are
:05:52. > :05:55.disadvantaged. Next year thdre should be even more opportunities at
:05:56. > :05:59.Ashmead School. Government funding for Pupil Premium would increase to
:06:00. > :06:09.?2.5 billion. The grand for each pupil will go up by one third.
:06:10. > :06:12.Oxford United will be led bx new head coach Gary Waddock for the
:06:13. > :06:16.first time in a few hours' time since he took the role this weekend.
:06:17. > :06:20.Waddock has previously managed QPR, Aldershot and Wycombe, and has left
:06:21. > :06:22.his role at MK Dons. The Us head to Southend tonight, Peter Cooke has
:06:23. > :06:25.this report. As job applications go, Garx Waddock
:06:26. > :06:30.faced plenty of competition for the Oxford post. 71 people put their
:06:31. > :06:38.name forward, 12 were interviewed, and he topped a three`man short
:06:39. > :06:41.list. We wanted to week 12 things, not going to dismantle everxthing
:06:42. > :06:45.first look at the players hdre within the squad. I have to give
:06:46. > :06:50.them every opportunity to ilpress. Looking forward to working with him.
:06:51. > :06:54.He has been coaching at MK Dons since leaving Wycombe in 2002. He
:06:55. > :07:02.has been handed a two`year contract and takes over in Oxford with a
:07:03. > :07:06.games left. That was helped by a win against Hartlepool last Friday. The
:07:07. > :07:12.supporters were one of the big attractions.
:07:13. > :07:18.The fans were very vocal, vdry loud, and if they can do that now, we can
:07:19. > :07:21.push to where we get it, th`t will be a big help. That was an hmportant
:07:22. > :07:28.part. Fantastic fan base. What do those fans think about the
:07:29. > :07:34.appointment? You have got to trust his judgement. We are oxygenated
:07:35. > :07:39.supporters, we will follow the club whatever happens. All funds will
:07:40. > :07:43.give him the time. He has proved himself at this level. I'm sure he,
:07:44. > :07:47.along with other candidates, quite capable. Lets hope he is lucky and
:07:48. > :07:52.get results stop keeping fingers crossed. It is like I do thd job.
:07:53. > :08:00.The third man in charge this season. They want automatic
:08:01. > :08:03.promotion or a play`off place and that remains a real possibility
:08:04. > :08:06.You can hear full commentarx on Oxford United's game tonight on BBC
:08:07. > :08:10.Radio Oxford. There will also be highlights of the match, and more on
:08:11. > :08:14.the appointment of Gary Waddock on this evening's Late Kick Off at
:08:15. > :08:18.11.20pm. It's been a common site in the skies
:08:19. > :08:21.above Brize Norton for 30 ydars This month though, after three
:08:22. > :08:29.decades of service, the Roy`l Air Force's TriStar fleet is to be taken
:08:30. > :08:32.out of service. The air to `ir refuelling and transport pl`ne was
:08:33. > :08:35.bought by the RAF in the 1980s. Today was one of its last flights.
:08:36. > :08:40.Tom Turrell was on board. Filling up the tank at 16,000 feet.
:08:41. > :08:44.It can be tricky. Think of the TriStar plane as a giant petrol
:08:45. > :08:49.station in the sky. First commissioned by the RAF in 0983 a
:08:50. > :08:58.played its part in the Falklands, to Gulf wars and Afghanistan. Today is
:08:59. > :09:03.its last operational mission. Up to 130 tonnes of fuel on board, is job
:09:04. > :09:08.is to fly straight and steady, as the other plane approaches from
:09:09. > :09:12.behind at speeds of up to 340 mph. All that is left is for the fighter
:09:13. > :09:18.pilots to connect to the end of the fuel hose dangling behind. Ht is a
:09:19. > :09:24.beautiful aircraft to fly, very smooth, light on controls. Ht is a
:09:25. > :09:28.stable platform for aid to `ir refuelling. A lot of the fast jets
:09:29. > :09:32.like the TriStar because it is nice and easy to fly behind. And they
:09:33. > :09:36.always know we have got lots of gas to give them. It is also usdd for
:09:37. > :09:41.transporting military personnel to war zones around the world. There
:09:42. > :09:47.are nine TriStar planes likd this, but the RAF says they are too old
:09:48. > :09:50.and too expensive to maintahn. Instead, these rather large pieces
:09:51. > :09:58.of British military history are to be dismantled and sold for scrap. As
:09:59. > :10:01.for the squadron which is also being disbanded, the only thing they will
:10:02. > :10:05.be able to keep to remember her by their memories.
:10:06. > :10:09.You can see more pictures on this story on our new section of our
:10:10. > :10:13.website. You can find updatds on our Local Live feature at

:10:20. > :10:23.sport. After being on the comedy c`lendar
:10:24. > :10:26.for the past ten years and raising more than half a million potnds for
:10:27. > :10:29.charity it's the last time the Childish Things fundraiser will be
:10:30. > :10:32.taking place in Oxford. Preparations have been underway at the Ndw
:10:33. > :10:35.Theatre this afternoon. It's all in aid of Helen and Douglas Hotse and
:10:36. > :10:40.comedians, including Jimmy Carr and Jo Brand, perform free of charge
:10:41. > :10:45.over two nights. It is always good to keep things
:10:46. > :10:48.fresh. Particularly in fundraising as well, you need new ideas and new
:10:49. > :10:58.inspiration and give people new exciting events to come to. And we
:10:59. > :11:00.feel particularly with this idea, we want to leave the audience wanting
:11:01. > :11:09.more. That's all from me for the loment.
:11:10. > :11:11.holiday resort. Still to come in this evening's

:11:30. > :11:33.the message from a charity helping hundreds of children and adtlts
:11:34. > :11:36.across the south, unless it can find ?150,000. The Rainbow Centrd in
:11:37. > :11:38.Fareham ` which helps peopld with severe neurological impairmdnt ` has
:11:39. > :11:41.relied entirely on charitable donations for nearly 25 years. But
:11:42. > :11:45.it says the aftermath of thd recession has left it with no cash
:11:46. > :11:49.reserves ` and its usual donors are strapped for cash. It's a f`miliar
:11:50. > :11:51.story. A recent survey found one in five charities said they faced
:11:52. > :11:55.closure if their finances dhdn't improve. In a separate survdy, 8%
:11:56. > :11:59.of charities said they noticed a rise in demand in the last xear But
:12:00. > :12:08.less than a third felt that could be met. Ena Miller reports.
:12:09. > :12:11.What is the bear's name? Hannah was told by doctors her son
:12:12. > :12:17.would never be capable of s`ying these three words:
:12:18. > :12:21.I love you, mummy. She was also told he would never
:12:22. > :12:25.stand ` but he does. Rueben has quadriplegic cerdbral
:12:26. > :12:29.palsy. He came to the Rainbow Centre when he was one`year`old, and he has
:12:30. > :12:33.developed skills I could only ever have hoped for, and that is because
:12:34. > :12:39.of the hard work, effort and the expertise that they put into this.
:12:40. > :12:42.He's now got a bright futurd. The Rainbow Centre supports children
:12:43. > :12:45.and adults with a range of neurological impairments. It teaches
:12:46. > :12:47.a Hungarian technique called conductive education, which helps
:12:48. > :12:51.patients develop control of their muscles. It's been open for 25
:12:52. > :12:56.years, but might have to close in the next month.
:12:57. > :13:00.It's heartbreaking, devastating the fact that that lifeline might
:13:01. > :13:03.suddenly stop if the doors have to close. I can't imagine a life
:13:04. > :13:08.without the Rainbow Centre, and everything it gives us and our
:13:09. > :13:12.family. To survive, the charity needs to
:13:13. > :13:16.raise ?150,000. We got through the recession by the
:13:17. > :13:20.skin of our teeth. We've usdd up all of our cash reserves to get to this
:13:21. > :13:24.point, as many charities and businesses have. We have just
:13:25. > :13:28.reached the point where the money is not coming in quick enough, so we
:13:29. > :13:31.need a serious injection of cash to get us through a point in thme where
:13:32. > :13:33.the pipelines we are developing come good.
:13:34. > :13:37.The Rainbow Centre isn't thd only charity finding it tough. A survey
:13:38. > :13:40.found that one in five charhties fear that they might close due to a
:13:41. > :13:48.lack of funding. The Rainbow Centre really wants to continue helping all
:13:49. > :13:51.these little ones. They say they just need time to ensure thdy never
:13:52. > :13:56.find themselves in this poshtion again. They just don't have very
:13:57. > :13:59.much time left. The Government says it may change
:14:00. > :14:02.its policy on complaints after allegations of sexual abuse at an
:14:03. > :14:05.independent school in Hampshire The Stanbridge Earl's School ` for
:14:06. > :14:08.children with learning diffhculties ` closed last year after behng
:14:09. > :14:14.criticised over its handling of a claim of rape made by a girl against
:14:15. > :14:18.other students. The head te`cher resigned but no prosecutions were
:14:19. > :14:21.brought. The Labour MP Tom Watson told the Commons today the school
:14:22. > :14:30.had been slow to act and th`t a further child was then
:14:31. > :14:35.I wrote to the Secretary of State the same month to warn him that the
:14:36. > :14:39.situation was urgent. Despite this, a further child was sexuallx abused
:14:40. > :14:42.in July 2013. The school has now closed. Ofsted have apologised for
:14:43. > :14:44.their failures. Will ministdrs now urgently consider adequate research
:14:45. > :14:50.into the funding of mandatory reporting in regulated setthngs
:14:51. > :14:54.She may be only three years old but Sienna Brown is embarking on the
:14:55. > :14:58.journey of a lifetime. Sienna and her parents Kim and Simon ldft their

:15:02. > :15:04.yacht Britican and set off on a voyage around the world. Thdy have
:15:05. > :15:08.sold their home and all thehr possessions and plan to spend three
:15:09. > :15:10.to five years on their journey. Sienna will be educated through
:15:11. > :15:29.onboard home`schooling and Simon says it will be an amazing dducation
:15:30. > :15:33.for the whole family. A large rescue operation at Shiplake
:15:34. > :15:36.Loch near Henley has been under way after a rowing boat with ten pupils
:15:37. > :15:38.from a nearby school got into difficulty.
:15:39. > :15:41.We understand the boat, frol Shiplake College, became tr`pped on
:15:42. > :15:45.a weir upstream from the loch, but that all the crew and young children
:15:46. > :15:48.are now safe. Our reporter Nikki Mitchell is at the scene ` Nikki
:15:49. > :15:51.what do you know? This is really quite an
:15:52. > :15:58.astonishingly narrow escape. There were a couple of support bo`ts with
:15:59. > :16:03.them, and the boat got pinndd up against an area about 100 mdtres
:16:04. > :16:10.from the Wear. Someone from the college went in to help thel, but
:16:11. > :16:16.the support vessel then got swept under the chain. The man on boards
:16:17. > :16:27.had to cling on to the Wear for dear life. They think that his boat went
:16:28. > :16:40.through the weir weir first, and then he was pulled through the tiny
:16:41. > :16:46.gap in between. The commanddr here from the Fire Service says he has no
:16:47. > :16:52.idea how the man survived. He has survived with very few injuries The
:16:53. > :16:56.eight pupils in the rowing boat had actually managed to get to safety,
:16:57. > :17:05.they had clung on the chain and managed to climb to safety. The
:17:06. > :17:06.eight pupils did manage to get to safety, but one man was swept
:17:07. > :17:11.through the weir and made an
