It has to be that man, the coach, Eddie Jones, about to win the Six | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Good evening. Nations | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
Hundreds of people have taken part in a march | :00:09. | :00:11. | |
in Shropshire over proposals to change education funding. | :00:12. | :00:15. | |
They claim the county could lose over ?13 million a year for schools, | :00:16. | :00:18. | |
but the Department of Education says overall funding would go up by 0.1%. | :00:19. | :00:22. | |
Organisers say more people than expected turned out | :00:23. | :00:34. | |
for the march in Shrewsbury today, such is the level of anger | :00:35. | :00:37. | |
at the proposed changes to school finances. | :00:38. | :00:39. | |
It was organised by unions and schools fearful of the future. | :00:40. | :00:42. | |
We live in the fifth richest country in the world and we're now cutting | :00:43. | :00:46. | |
education drastically, and it's just not right. | :00:47. | :00:48. | |
The Government says they are spending more | :00:49. | :00:57. | |
on education than ever, but the National Audit Office say | :00:58. | :00:59. | |
there'll be cuts of 8% per pupil over the next two years. | :01:00. | :01:02. | |
The Department for Education says it wants to end what is a postcode | :01:03. | :01:05. | |
lottery in school funding, and that Shropshire were actually | :01:06. | :01:08. | |
lottery in school funding, and that Shropshire will actually | :01:09. | :01:13. | |
figures not accepted by those protesting today. | :01:14. | :01:16. | |
I think what's happening to our schools is very poor. | :01:17. | :01:18. | |
And it's going to affect our children's and their | :01:19. | :01:21. | |
It'll affect the adult centre, the FE sector, and really | :01:22. | :01:29. | |
the implications of that for the whole of society will be | :01:30. | :01:31. | |
Medium and larger schools are the ones that are going to be | :01:32. | :01:36. | |
very hard hit by the proposed new funding formula, | :01:37. | :01:45. | |
and that means that for us, 45% of schools | :01:46. | :01:47. | |
negatively; 65% of pupils will be affected negatively. | :01:48. | :01:50. | |
The march ended with a rally in Quarry Park, and the Department | :01:51. | :01:54. | |
for Education says it's keen to listen to views during what is | :01:55. | :01:57. | |
now a consultation period, ending on March the 22nd. | :01:58. | :02:05. | |
The Care Quality Commission has said it will investigate after claims | :02:06. | :02:08. | |

company Caremark were selling sex chats, | :02:18. | :02:24. | |
and removing clothes for online viewers, while at work in Walsall. | :02:25. | :02:27. | |

which appear to have taken place in an administrative office, | :02:32. | :02:33. | |
The owner of the local franchise says he's also shocked, | :02:34. | :02:37. | |

The CLA, which represents landowners in rural England and Wales, | :02:51. | :02:53. | |

In one of the latest incidents, a huge pile of rubbish was dumped | :02:57. | :03:01. | |
on Tuesday on land owned by the Enville Estate, | :03:02. | :03:03. | |
off the Bridgnorth Road near Stourbridge. | :03:04. | :03:04. | |
Managers say the Environment Agency is investigating, but it will cost | :03:05. | :03:07. | |

A fairly mild night ahead, quite a lot of cloud around, | :04:15. | :04:19. | |
and we will see some outbreaks of rain as well. | :04:20. | :04:24. | |
Now, the rain is going to be mostly light and patchy; we could see | :04:25. | :04:28. | |
the old heavier burst here and there. | :04:29. | :04:30. | |
dropping down to around 9 or 10 degrees Celsius. | :04:31. | :04:37. | |
So that does mean it's going to be a mild start to Sunday morning. | :04:38. | :04:41. | |
Quite cloudy, a bit misty and murky initially. | :04:42. | :04:42. | |
We'll see a brief spell of brighter weather, | :04:43. | :04:44. | |
before some further rain pushes in in the afternoon. | :04:45. | :04:46. | |
That will all clear away by late afternoon, and we'll see | :04:47. | :04:49. | |
temperatures up to a high tomorrow of around 12 degrees Celsius. | :04:50. | :04:52. | |

with some lovely spells of sunshine on Monday. | :04:55. | :04:56. | |

Good evening. Some of us managed to get some decent weather today, not | :05:10. | :05:23. | |
everybody but some of us. Lovely picture from a weather watcher in | :05:24. | :05:26. | |
Northern Ireland, Enniskillen, and in Northern Ireland we have the | :05:27. | :05:31. | |
warmest day of the year for Northern Ireland, 16 Celsius. The Southeast a | :05:32. | :05:35. | |
little warmer weather cloud broke up, 18 Celsius, but we have also had | :05:36. | :05:40. | |
some light rain, and if anything this coming even in the clouds will | :05:41. | :05:45. | |
thicken up again in some areas, so for a number of us it is going to be | :05:46. | :05:51. | |
a cloudy and damp night. Mild at around nine or 10 degrees. Tomorrow, | :05:52. | :05:54. | |
a mix of a day, rain | :05:55. | :05:56. |
