50 years on, it is still being felt. That's all from us. | :00:00. | :00:16. | |
A controversial free school in Derby has been ordered by the government | :00:17. | :00:22. | |
to close its secondary school. Last October, Ofsted put Al`Madinah into | :00:23. | :00:25. | |
special measures, saying it was in chaos. Its primary school however | :00:26. | :00:35. | |
will stay open. This Muslim school has been widely | :00:36. | :00:40. | |
condemned for some time before offering a poor quality of teaching. | :00:41. | :00:44. | |
The schools minister has now written to the new trustees confirming the | :00:45. | :00:49. | |
secondary school must close at the end of this summer term. In a | :00:50. | :00:53. | |
letter, he says he is concerned at the poor quality of teaching and | :00:54. | :00:55. | |
lack of breadth in the curriculum. Today, parents gave this reaction | :00:56. | :01:17. | |
outside the school. I was going to move my son anyway because he was | :01:18. | :01:20. | |
not happy there and was not making any progress. I am quite disgusted | :01:21. | :01:30. | |
that this decision has been made because they have not taken our | :01:31. | :01:35. | |
children into consideration. When Ofsted inspected the school in | :01:36. | :01:40. | |
October, they called it in chaos and dysfunctional. The man in charge now | :01:41. | :01:46. | |
agrees with those findings. He says it was the right decision to shut | :01:47. | :01:49. | |
the secondary school down so they can focus on the primary school. | :01:50. | :01:55. | |
Setting up a primary school and secondary school simultaneously, | :01:56. | :01:58. | |
despite the community giving them strong advice as to not being the | :01:59. | :02:08. | |
thing to do, it is damaging. People will judge all schools `` all three | :02:09. | :02:14. | |
schools based on Al`Madinah School. It is my job now to prove that this | :02:15. | :02:22. | |
turn can `` this school can turn itself around. In the meantime, the | :02:23. | :02:29. | |
focus is the 140 pupils left at the Al who must now find new schools by | :02:30. | :02:34. | |
September. Two brothers have been jailed for | :02:35. | :02:37. | |
trafficking vulnerable men into the East Midlands to exploit them for | :02:38. | :02:40. | |
tens of thousands of pounds. The modern`day slavery racket in Derby | :02:41. | :02:43. | |
was only discovered when one of the victims sought help from church | :02:44. | :02:52. | |
workers. Cramped conditions where some of the | :02:53. | :02:55. | |
men were discovered living, mattresses invested `` infested with | :02:56. | :03:02. | |
bugs. It came to light when police raided a number of houses in Derby | :03:03. | :03:06. | |
last July. They found evidence that a dozen check and Slovak men were | :03:07. | :03:14. | |
being explored for `` exploited for benefits. Victims were lured to the | :03:15. | :03:18. | |
UK with promises of work and money. There was plenty of money but they | :03:19. | :03:24. | |
saw very little money. When I was in Prague, I met with these people and | :03:25. | :03:29. | |
they promised they would give me ?50 a week. When they turned up and | :03:30. | :03:36. | |
started talking about England, I thought, I have never been there, | :03:37. | :03:41. | |
let's go. It ended up the way it ended up. I ended up with ?10 | :03:42. | :03:49. | |
instead. Brothers Igor Marcin and Marek Marcin and human trafficking | :03:50. | :03:55. | |
and today were jailed for 14 months and 50 months respectively. Some | :03:56. | :04:03. | |
evidence that this gang were looking at trafficking more people? | :04:04. | :04:09. | |
Absolutely, you heard of the evidence today where they were | :04:10. | :04:13. | |
talking to potential victims for the purpose of sexual exploitation. | :04:14. | :04:19. | |
Their wives admitted fraud and were given ten and eight month sentences | :04:20. | :04:23. | |
but what free from court having served already half of their | :04:24. | :04:29. | |
sentence on remand. It is estimated the family made ?150,000 from the | :04:30. | :04:33. | |
scam. A hearing to determine is what happens to their assets including | :04:34. | :04:40. | |
prestige cars is due to be heard it. Elections to the European Parliament | :04:41. | :04:44. | |
may be four months off but UKIP was in Nottingham today for the start of | :04:45. | :04:47. | |
its regional campaign. Leading its list of candidates for the East | :04:48. | :04:50. | |
Midlands, Roger Helmer, a former Conservative MEP who defected. | :04:51. | :05:02. | |
The Lions might have lost their raw in Nottinghampos`mac historic square | :05:03. | :05:05. | |
but politically, UKIP plans to make a big noise in the build`up to the | :05:06. | :05:09. | |
election for the European Parliament. Leading the way, Roger | :05:10. | :05:15. | |
Helmer, a Conservative MP who is now standing for UKIP. We say Europe is | :05:16. | :05:23. | |
damaging Britain, it is causing `` costing us money and we want a | :05:24. | :05:28. | |
referendum now. UKIP is pinning its hopes on some of these candidates | :05:29. | :05:33. | |
getting elected. At present, UKIP has two out of the five MEPs that | :05:34. | :05:39. | |
represent our region. In the last European Parliamentary elections | :05:40. | :05:42. | |
here, UKIP came third, beating the Liberal Democrats and almost | :05:43. | :05:46. | |
knocking Labour from second spot. That cost enough other political | :05:47. | :05:50. | |
sensation. This time, UKIP hoping to do even better. There's been a sea | :05:51. | :05:56. | |
change in British politics and UKIP are at the top of that sea change. I | :05:57. | :06:01. | |
think we have every chance of winning in the East Midlands. By | :06:02. | :06:06. | |
this staging such an early launch, they hope to set the pace up to | :06:07. | :06:14. | |
polling day in May. In tonight's rugby, Leicester Tigers | :06:15. | :06:17. | |
beat Worcester 23`22 thanks to a late Toby Flood penalty goal. | :06:18. | :06:22. | |
Finally, a really big moment for Nottingham speed skater Jon Eley. He | :06:23. | :06:25. | |
led Team GB into the Winter Olympics opening ceremony earlier. He is at | :06:26. | :06:29. | |
his third games and led in the biggest British team for almost 30 | :06:30. | :06:32. | |
years. 56 competitors, among them several serious medal contenders. | :06:33. | :06:37. | |
That's the news and sports, I'll be back with more for you across the | :06:38. | :06:47. | |
weekend. The weather is next. The rain is back and it is said to | :06:48. | :06:50. | |
be quite an unsubtle weekend. Blustery showers tomorrow and strong | :06:51. | :06:54. | |
winds of up to 50 miles an hour possible. As we go through the rest | :06:55. | :07:02. | |
of the evening, we have started to see the rain pushing. It will turn | :07:03. | :07:06. | |
heavy and persistent for a time into the early hours of Saturday morning | :07:07. | :07:12. | |
before keeping `` leaving with just a few showers. Tomorrow morning will | :07:13. | :07:19. | |
be a dry and bright start but then the rain pushes injuring the | :07:20. | :07:24. | |
afternoon. Very strong and gusty winds during the afternoon. This is | :07:25. | :07:27. | |
the outlook for the next few days. Hello again. Nelson's flag ship HMS | :07:28. | :07:43. | |
victory, was launched in 1765 and you can still see it today in | :07:44. | :07:46. | |
Portsmouth Harbour. But through the whole of that history, you will | :07:47. | :07:50. | |
struggle to find a wetter winter than this one across southern | :07:51. | :07:54. | |
England. Scotland has already been in the record books. Their December | :07:55. | :08:00. | |
was the wettest since standardised records began about 100 years ago. | :08:01. | :08:05. | |
There's plenty more where that came from. Another storm is knocking on | :08:06. | :08:08. | |
the door and will affect the whole of Western | :08:09. | :08:09. |
