Cambridge Airport denies passenger safety has been put at risk after

the BBC uncovered leaked em`ils raising issues with air traffic

The documents detail conversations between senior managers

Passengers boarding the first new city Jet flight to Dublin l`st

month. A new airline ` part of the airport's expansion. Behind the

scenes it is a different story. We found an airport worker who did not

want to be identified. I'd don't recommend friends or family flying

out of the airport, especially in the summer. This is a busy `irport.

20,000 aircraft use it each year, from gliders to military jets.

Horses are even delivered to nearby and Newmarket. The second

whistle`blower handed me e`lails dating back to last year. M`nagement

spoke about chronic short staffing, the walls being ended and preaching

CAA regulations. Also, new flights to Europe put pressure on the

control tower. A manager colplains about underfunding. Also, l`nding

aids are antique and fail frequently. We have just taken off

from Cambridge Airport. We `re at 2000 feet. This is uncontrolled

airspace. It means we don't have to let anyone know we are here,

including the tower below us. It is clear the runway is wearing. Plans

for a new one art on hold, `ccording to one whistle`blower. I saw a jet

taking off and noticed it h`d debris stuck to one of its main whdels The

airport is regulated by the Civil Aviation Authority. It has known

about the problems the years, at the airport has passed its safety

inspections. We took our findings to an aviation expert. It is worrying

that and airport will cut corners to cut costs.

The CAA would not comment on our reports, but said they would

consider any further allegations. In a statement, Cambridge Ahrport

told us it has recruited three extra air traffic controllers and will

refurbish the runway next ydar. It says, we utterly refute

the implied allegations that safety Safety, above all,

is of paramount importance. An Islamic school in Luton has been

criticised by Ofsted after books with fundamentalist

views were found in the library Olive Tree Primary has been rated as

inadequate for not doing enough to It comes on the day six schools

in Birmingham were put in special measures for failing to protect

pupils from Islamic extremism. Inside the classroom that appears

very little to set this apart from any other, but when Ofsted

inspectors visited last month they raised a number of concerns. Today

inspectors rated this school inadequate. They say there hs a lack

of teaching about other relhgions and faiths, which the school

project. We have had people from other faith and religions that have

come into teaching. We reject what they are saying. Ofsted criticise

the school library for not having other book on different relhgions.

This is a staff library, not a child's library. These books are not

made available to children. The report comes on the day Ofsted

published its findings into allegations of extremism at a number

of schools in Birmingham. Ofsted have told teachers at Olive Tree

School that its curriculum needs to better prepare children for living

in modern Britain. The school polls`macro governors say they

reject the report today in hts entirety and are now seeking legal

advice to decide their next move. Earlier I spoke to Gavin Shtker

the MP for Luton South. I asked him what he made of Oftsed's

report. Earlier I spoke to Gavin Shtker

the MP for Luton South. I asked him what he made of Oftsed's

report. It is both great concern. It is

slightly different to the broader story in terms of the schools in

Birmingham. Ofsted are not linking Olive Tree School with the schools

in Birmingham, but what's information can you give to parents?

It's up to parents where thdy want to send their children to school,

but I am concerned that thex have released their report on thd same

day as six Birmingham schools have been put into special measures. It

is right that Ofsted did carry out this inspection. There are concerns

about the way the school was targeted though. What impact will it

have on the community in Luton? People will look at the report and

see that we need to improve certain areas, but I don't think it is fair

to jump to conclusions over allegations of extremism. Now it's

time for the weather. The risk of heavy and thunddry

showers continues and then everywhere should be tried by

morning with patchy mist and fog. It will be extremely humid. Anx missed

of 21 Celsius. We finished the day with a couple of showers, btt

of the year. Warm for some, but thundery for others. This line of

really intense thunderstorms moved through. Large hail and gusty winds

and rain as well. That moved away and now we look towards the south

and you can see the rain moving northwards. So let's look at the

cloud which is heading our way and some of it does look really quite
