:00:26. > :00:29.Flynn. Meetings to find school places for 140 children in Derby are
:00:30. > :00:32.to take place after the weekend. It comes after the city's troubled free
:00:33. > :00:36.school, Al`Madinah, was ordered by the Department of Education to shut
:00:37. > :00:39.its secondary school at the end of the summer term. One teachers' union
:00:40. > :00:42.says it reaffirms their fears that the free school system doesn't work.
:00:43. > :00:45.The idea that anyone can set up a school anywhere they like, if the
:00:46. > :00:48.schools fail it's OK to close them and leave children without
:00:49. > :00:51.education. Education needs to be monitored by the local authority.
:00:52. > :00:56.Schools need to be accountable to the public and taxpayer an run by
:00:57. > :01:02.professional people. Parents need to know when their child is in a school
:01:03. > :01:05.it will stay open. A Derbyshire charity has discovered a rare
:01:06. > :01:08.archive film of its founder, Leonard Cheshire, in action during a daring
:01:09. > :01:12.World War II mission. The footage shows a night`time raid on a French
:01:13. > :01:16.factory that took place 70 years ago this evening. He gave 500 people in
:01:17. > :01:21.the building time to escape and later explained why in a letter.
:01:22. > :01:25."Dropped them without warning would have certainly have caused fairly
:01:26. > :01:31.serious loss of life without injury. I can only thank God that everybody
:01:32. > :01:36.did in fact escape, except for the one unfortunate man who returned for
:01:37. > :01:39.his bicycle." Mild disappointment for Nottingham's ice dancing duo in
:01:40. > :01:42.today's team programme at the Winter Olympics. Penny Coomes and Nick
:01:43. > :01:45.Buckland's performance in Sochi was popular with the crowd, but
:01:46. > :01:48.penalised by judges on technical points. The pair, who won bronze at
:01:49. > :01:51.the European Championships, finished seventh, which saw Team GB finish
:01:52. > :01:57.tenth. They face their individual performances in a week. It's
:01:58. > :02:00.significantly lower than what we got at the Europeans. Our technical
:02:01. > :02:04.score was low. I haven't looked at the results yet. I don't know where
:02:05. > :02:07.we lost those marks. That is the great thing about doing the Team
:02:08. > :02:12.event. This isn't our individual event. We have a few more days. We
:02:13. > :02:16.have to hit the technical elements. Pleased with the skate tonight. I
:02:17. > :02:23.think we went out first event out in front of the crowd at the Olympics,
:02:24. > :02:26.it's great. Onto today's football. Nottingham Forest had to settle for
:02:27. > :02:29.a draw after conceding a late equaliser at Blackpool. Leicester
:02:30. > :02:33.meanwhile got a late equaliser, drawing 2`2 at home to Watford. In

:02:37. > :02:39.over Coventry. In League two, Mansfield beat Southend 2`1 for the

:02:47. > :02:49.Now, the weather affected shoppers in Loughborough today as high`winds
:02:50. > :02:52.meant a dramatic change to the town's market. The local council
:02:53. > :02:55.decided early this morning that no stalls could be set up. Some traders
:02:56. > :02:59.set up make`shift stalls or operated instead out the back of their vans.
:03:00. > :03:06.The council apologised, but said safety was its top priority. This
:03:07. > :03:11.morning we received a text message to say if we wanted to stand on the
:03:12. > :03:14.market we needed to bring our own stalls because of the weather
:03:15. > :03:24.warnings. I came at 6. 30 am I set my stall up. I'm just about still
:03:25. > :03:27.standing! If it hit someone it could kill someone. It could do a lot of
:03:28. > :03:28.damage to someone. You understand the council's 0
:03:29. > :03:31.damage to someone. You understand the council's decision? Yeah, of
:03:32. > :03:35.course. You will upset somebody somewhere along the line. I think
:03:36. > :03:37.they made the right decision today. Let's see now what's coming next
