Muslim School Shuts During Ofsted Inspection

A Muslim free school accused of imposing strict Islamic practices has closed on the first day of an Ofsted inspection.

The schools regulator said it cannot reveal the findings of its investigation into Al-Madinah until the two-day inspection - which started on Tuesday - is finished.

But the Derby school closed its doors as the inspection started.

Al-Madinah's interim principal, Stuart Wilson, said on its website that the short-term closure was due to a "health and safety issue".

"I have taken the decision to close the school to primary and secondary pupils until I am confident that all children are safe on site," he said.

"As parents, you will be informed directly, and on the website, when you are able to send your children back to school. I expect this to be in the very near future.

"Assuring you that we have your children's best interests at heart."

Ofsted launched the probe after reports emerged that several female teachers at the school were told to wear a headscarf, or hijab, whether they were Muslim or not.

A non-Muslim former teacher reportedly quit her job after being pressured to follow a Islamic dress code.

She told the Derby Telegraph that the free school's strict dress code was not mentioned during her interview and was not in her contract.

She said she had agreed to wear a headscarf but was "hassled" to dress more modestly - despite wearing a business suit to work.

"The skirt was well below the knee and I wore thick black tights that covered my legs," she told the Derby Telegraph.

The teacher - who did not want to be named - also told the newspaper that she did not agree with segregation in classes.

"I also objected to the school's policy of sitting girls at the back of classrooms, to no avail," she said.

"The reason given was that girls are allowed to look at boys but the boys are not allowed to look at the girls, but how can that be good for the children's education?"

The teacher also claimed that staff members were not allowed to take non-Halal food into the school or wear jewellery.

A Department for Education spokesman said the free school, which opened in September 2012, was already being investigated before the allegations became public.

"We discussed the problems with Ofsted and it launched an immediate inspection. We are waiting for Ofsted's final report and considering all legal options," the spokesman said.

The school was first being investigated by the department's Education Funding Agency over alleged irregularities with its grants.

Free schools are state funded but not under local education authority control. They can be set up by groups such as charities, businesses, community and faith groups.

The school describes itself as having "a strong Muslim ethos" and says pupils enjoy "learning in a caring Islamic environment which promotes a culture of high expectations and outstanding performance".

Sky News Online has contacted Al-Madinah for comment.

Benefit Cap: Families In High Court Challenge

By Tom Parmenter, Sky News Correspondent

The families of three toddlers have taken the Government to court to argue that the "benefit cap" policy is unlawful.

The two three-year-olds and one-year-old have all been put forward along with their mothers to fight a test case at the High Court.

All three families live in London and say the high cost of living in the capital means the benefit cap could leave them destitute.

Currently, they say they are forced to live in expensive temporary accommodation which would suck up the majority of the £500-per-week benefit limit being imposed on claimants.

The principle of the cap is to ensure it pays to work and that benefits claimants do not earn more than the average working family.

Rebekah Carrier, the solicitor representing the families, told Sky News there were many others facing similar scenarios.

"It is thousands rather than hundreds of thousands, but the effect on these thousands of people is very, very extreme," she said.

She described the limit as a "cruel and arbitrary policy".

"It will have a catastrophic impact on our clients and many thousands more vulnerable families. They face street homelessness and starvation," Ms Carrier said.

The judges are being asked to rule that the cap breaches the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, and the European Convention on Human Rights, which protects the right to respect for home and family life.

Campaigners argue that the impact of the cap is most acute in London because of the lack of affordable housing and high housing benefit costs.

One of the families taking action includes an illiterate single mother with four children.

Their private rented accommodation costs £395.50 per week. The benefit limit will mean they will be left to get by on £104.50 per week for all living costs and utilities.

In a witness statement the mother said her current home was cold, damp and infested with mice.

She said they were desperate to live elsewhere but there was no cheap accommodation available locally and that the waiting list for council housing for such a large family was over 10 years. 

The families in the High Court case each have several children.

A Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) spokesman said: "We are confident that the measures are lawful.

"The benefit cap sets a fair limit to what people can expect to get from the welfare system - so that claimants cannot receive more than £500 a week, the average household earnings."

The case, which is an application for a Judicial Review, is expected to conclude on Friday.

Bridger Attacker 'In Bid To Find April's Body'

A prisoner slashed child killer Mark Bridger's face to get him to reveal where April Jones' body was hidden, a court has heard.

Convicted murderer and rapist Juvinal Ferreira, 24, used a knife fashioned out of a razor to cut Bridger from temple to chin at the top security Wakefield Prison, West Yorkshire, in July.

Ferreira was given a second life sentence at Leeds Crown Court and had five years added to his minimum term, meaning he will not be released before 2036.

Ferreira, who was born in Guinea and grew up in Gambia, had previously admitted wounding with intent.

Police were told Ferreira and other life prisoners had talked about attacking Bridger to make him reveal the whereabouts of April's body.

Bridger has never revealed the whereabouts of April's body

Jonathan Sharp, prosecuting, said: "He said that Bridger's crime had been discussed, and he claimed people had suggested that if Bridger was attacked, rather than say befriended, Bridger would then be more likely to reveal where April Jones' body was."

The premeditated attack happened three days after Bridger was allowed to associate with other prisoners.

Ferreira fashioned a weapon out of a prison-issue razor with extra blades attached to the handle.

Mr Sharp said: "The defendant saw him and walked directly up to him with the blade held between thumb and forefinger.

"He then slashed him down the face, causing a deep wound extending from temple to chin.

"He paused for a moment and looked Bridger directly in the eyes, in Bridger's own words 'as if to admire his work or show me who it was'."

The court heard he also suffered a cut to his arm as he tried to defend himself.

He required more than 30 stitches to the face wound, which required surgery under general anaesthetic. He will be scarred for life.

Mr Justice Coulson, who sentenced Ferreira over a videolink, said the motive for the attack was no mitigation.

"Convicted murderers cannot appoint themselves as unpaid investigators of another crime, no matter how serious," he said.

"They plainly cannot do that by themselves committing violent crime to do so."

Extensive searches continued for weeks in and around Machynlleth

Robin Frieze, defending, said Ferreira did not attack Bridger to enhance his own status in prison, for reward or because he was incited to do it.

"He does not suggest he was put up to it, but he listened to talk within the prison and he was under the impression that if he put the complainant in a state of fear then it was more likely it would achieve closure for the family of his victim," Mr Frieze said.

"He appreciates that was a wholly misguided and wrong thing to do."

When the judge told Ferreira he was about to be sentenced, the life prisoner replied: "No problem."

April was kidnapped by 47-year-old Bridger outside her home in Machynlleth, mid-Wales, on October 1, 2012. He is serving a life sentence for her murder.

Despite police launching one of their biggest ever search operations, April's body has never been found. Bridger has repeatedly claimed he cannot remember what he did with her.

Mummified Baby: 'Mum Drank While Boy Starved'

Alcohol was more important to Amanda Hutton than her starving son, a jury has been told.

Hutton is accused of the manslaughter of her four-year-old son, Hamzah Khan, whose body was found in her bedroom nearly two years after he died.

In closing speeches at Bradford Crown Court, prosecutors claimed Hutton had breached her fundamental duty of care to feed her child.

Paul Greaney QC said: "As the child wasted away, she (Hutton) did nothing but sit in her bedroom and drink vodka."

He added: "Drink was more important to her than her child - a terrible thing to say about a mother, but it's the truth."

Hutton sat in the dock listening to the prosecutor's speech, dressed in black and shaking her head through much of what was said.

Mr Greaney said the cause of Hamzah's death was "blindingly obvious".

He said: "It was malnourishment and she caused it."

The court has heard that police found Hamzah's mummified and insect-infested body in a cot in Hutton's bedroom in September 2011. He had died in December 2009.

His malnourishment was so severe, claim prosecutors, that he was wearing clothes for a six to nine-month-old.

Hutton, 43, denies manslaughter and maintains her son died naturally.

For the defence, barrister Stephen Meadowcroft QC described media coverage of the trial as "awful" and told jurors to carefully examine all the evidence they had heard.

Mr Meadowcroft then took the jury through a series of instances when professionals, family members and even gas engineers went into Hutton's home before Hamzah died.

He said that in each case no-one saw anything that concerned them.

"Can we be sure that his death didn't occur as a result of something else?" he asked.

Mr Meadowcroft earlier called on expert evidence to suggest that Hamzah's malnourishment could have been the result of him being a "bad eater".

A verdict in the case is not expected before Thursday.

Pregnant Briton Dies At Spanish Airport

A pregnant British woman has died after fainting at an airport in northeastern Spain, officials say.

A spokeswoman for Catalonia's regional emergency health service said the woman, believed to be 20 years old, was dead by the time an ambulance arrived at Girona airport.

She had been due to travel with her family to Birmingham before she collapsed, according to a Spanish airport authority spokeswoman.

Further details about the woman's death were not immediately available.

She has not been identified.

A Foreign Office spokeswoman told Sky News: "We are aware of the death of a British national at an airport in Girona, Spain.

"We are providing consular assistance to the family at this difficult time."

The woman's body has been taken to Girona for a post-mortem examination.

Reports in Spain offered conflicting accounts on the length of time it took for medical staff to arrive at the scene.

Some said it took 25 minutes to get to the stricken woman, while others said it was closer to 15 minutes.

An emergency services spokesman said the response time for the ambulance was considered within normal standards in such situations.

Joan Muntada of the UGT workers' union said it was considering some sort of legal action against authorities over the case after the health assistance service in the airport was closed a year ago.

Gastroenteritis Hits Cruise Ship Passengers

A gastroenteritis-type illness has struck down scores of passengers on board a cruise ship from Belfast.

Fred Olsen Cruise Lines says 84 of its 763 guests on the Boudicca are suffering from the condition.

Having set off for the 10-day Scandinavian Cities Cruise on September 23, the vessel is due to return to Belfast on Thursday.

The Norwegian company said the ship would be arriving early to undergo an intensive cleaning and sanitisation programme.

It said in a statement to Sky News: "It is extremely unfortunate that a number of guests on board this Scandinavian cruise have experienced this illness.

"In such instances, every precaution is taken on board to ensure the swift containment of the illness, and a number of public areas, including all public toilets and the self-service buffet, are closed.

"Frequent cleaning of all areas of the ship is carried out, and any guest showing symptoms of the virus is asked to remain in their cabin, with complimentary room service and in-cabin entertainment, until they are considered to be symptom-free by the ship's doctor, before being able to join the rest of the ship.

"Fred Olsen would emphasise that, as with all its sailings from regional UK departure ports, it works closely with the relevant Local Health Authorities and Port Health Authorities to ensure the safety, health and wellbeing of all its guests and crew, which are the company's utmost priority.

"All of Fred Olsen's cruise ships meet, at all times, the highest safety, hygiene and health standards."

It added that people booked onto the Boudicca's next cruise, the 12-night Madeira and Canaries trip, had been informed of the situation.

That cruise is due to leave on Thursday and the firm said delays would be kept to a minimum.

It is the second sickness outbreak to hit a Fred Olsen cruise in weeks, after around 130 people contracted a gastroenteritis-type illness on the firm's Black Watch liner last month as it sailed from Fife to Scandinavia and the Russian city of St Petersburg.

Cameron Vows Tories Will Build Better Britain

David Cameron has urged voters to hand him a majority at the next election so that the Tories can build a "land of opportunity".

The Prime Minister evoked Winston Churchill as he asked Britain to give the Conservatives the tools to "finish the job" of "clearing up the mess" left by Labour.

He said the economy was starting to turn the corner but warned that anyone who thought the struggle was over is "living in a fantasy land".

In a bid to adopt a more upbeat tone, his party conference speech talked of creating a better Britain and signalled he would slash taxes if he stays in power.

"We are Tories. We believe in low taxes. And believe me - we will keep on cutting the taxes of hard-working people," he declared.

But he also warned of further austerity as the Conservatives aim to pay off the deficit and then build up a surplus for the future.

Mr Cameron signalled the under-25s would have to "earn or learn" under a Tory government and would not be able to opt for a life on benefits.

But there were no other major policy announcements in his 49-minute address in Manchester, which was mostly delivered directly to the camera.

Instead, the Tory leader sought to draw clear dividing lines with Labour, accusing Ed Miliband of adopting a "crazy" anti-business agenda.

He dismissed Mr Miliband's promises to cut the cost-of-living as "all sticking plaster and quick fixes" - dubbing it "Red Ed and his Blue Peter economy".

Borrowing the slogan Mr Miliband repeated 17 times in his own speech, Mr Cameron declared: "I tell you what, Britain deserves better than that lot."

He insisted profit, wealth creation and enterprise were not "dirty, elitist words" but the driving force behind the recovery.

"It's businesses that get wages in people's pockets, food on their tables, hope for their families and success for our country," he said.

He branded Labour's plan to hike corporate tax rates for large businesses as "just about the most damaging, nonsensical, twisted economic policy you could possibly come up with".

Activists watch as the Tory leader speaks on stage

And he warned the call for more state borrowing and spending to ease what the Opposition calls a cost-of-living crisis would risk putting the UK on the same track as Greece.

He also rejected Labour accusations that the Tories represent the privileged and said he wanted a society where everyone has "the chance to make it".

Mr Cameron declared that he is "fighting heart and soul for a majority Conservative government because that is what our country needs".

But he warned Tory ambitions should not be limited to repairing the damage caused by Labour and eliminating the deficit.

"Finishing the job is about more than clearing up the mess we were left," he said. "It means building something better in its place. In place of the casino economy, one where people who work hard can actually get on.

"In place of the welfare society, one where no individual is written off. In place of the broken education system, one that gives every child the chance to rise up and succeed.

"Our economy, our society, welfare, schools, all reformed, all rebuilt - with one aim, one mission in mind: To make this country, at long last and for the first time ever, a land of opportunity for all."

His speech followed a raft of policy announcements aimed at countering Labour's claim that it is the only party that will tackle the rising cost-of-living.

The Prime Minister having a final read-through in his hotel room

Tory plans include bringing forward the Help-to-Buy scheme, the prospect of a fuel duty freeze until 2015 and a tax break for some married couples.

Mr Cameron vowed a Tory government would replace the "casino economy" and "welfare society" as well as improve the education system.

He accused Labour of failing Britain's young people and disadvantaged households by giving up and consigning them to a life on benefits.

"If you expect nothing of people, that does nothing for them. Yes, you must help people, but you help people by putting up ladders that they can climb through their own efforts," he said.

"It's this party that is fighting for all those who were written off by Labour. It's this party that's for the many, not the few. Yes - the land of despair was Labour, but the land of hope is Tory."

He also sought to position the Tories as the true defenders of the NHS, hailed the "noble" calling of social work and vowed to drive regeneration in the North of England.

"Make no mistake who's looking forward in British politics," Mr Cameron said. "We'll leave the 1970s-style socialism to others. We are the party of the future."

Activists gave the speech a standing ovation as Samantha Cameron joined her husband on stage.

The pair left the hall to Fleetwood Mac's Don't Stop (Thinking About Tomorrow), famously used by Bill Clinton as the soundtrack to his successful campaign for the US presidency in 1992.

Mr Miliband wrote on Twitter: "David Cameron's speech shows he does not know where to start in tackling the cost of living crisis facing Britain's hard-working families.

"The last thing families want is him to 'finish the job' when prices have risen faster than wages and average pay is down by almost £1,500."

Simon Walker, director general of the Institute of Directors, said: "Businesses up and down the country will welcome the Prime Minister's recognition that they are the driving force behind the economy, creating jobs and putting money in people's pockets.

"But they will be looking for him to match the sentiment with action. If tax cuts aren't dirty, let's have a few more of them. If profit isn't elitist, let's allow businesses to keep a little more of it."

John Longworth, director general of the British Chambers of Commerce, added: "David Cameron has set out a clear vision, but the harder task of making it happen still lies ahead.

"The Government cannot afford to become complacent, and must focus on creating an environment that supports enterprise, and puts economic growth at its heart."

Madeleine Book 'Multiplied Pain' Of McCanns

Gerry McCann's sister has given evidence in Lisbon against a former police chief accused of making allegations about the disappearance of his daughter, Madeleine.

The McCanns say former detective Goncolo Amaral is hindering the search for Madeleine after publishing a book which claimed they hid their daughter's body after faking her abduction.

Mr Amaral has denied libelling the McCanns in his book

Mr Amaral, who first led the investigation into Madeleine's disappearance before being removed in 2007 after criticising British detectives, has denied defaming the McCanns in his book, The Truth Of The Lie.

Arriving at the court with his sister Trish Cameron and Kate McCann's mother Susan Healy, Mr McCann told waiting reporters: "We are here to listen to the judge and hopefully be heard."

Mrs Cameron told the court that the publication of the book in 2008 and a TV documentary based on it the following year caused the family to be "vilified" and "demonised".

She added that Madeleine's twin siblings Sean and Amelie, now eight, told their parents that comments were made by fellow pupils at their school.

Kate McCann speaks to journalists after attending court in September

She told the court: "My brother and sister-in-law live in purgatory because they have no end and they are looking for the truth. They would like an end but there is no end because they don't know what's happened."

The court heard the McCanns' pain over the disappearance of their daughter was "multiplied 100 times" by the Amaral's book.

Kate McCann attended court last month on the first day of the case where she told reporters she was in Portugal to "stop the damage" she claims was being caused to the search for her daughter.

Madeleine has not been found since she went missing in 2007

The court heard how she had suicidal thoughts after Mr Amaral, who initially led the investigation into Madeleine's disappearance, claimed she had covered up her daughter's death.

Psychologist Alan Pike said that after the publication of the former police chief's book in 2008, Mrs McCann "thought about not being around anymore".

Although the Portuguese investigation into Madeleine's disappearance is now officially closed, British detectives who believe she could be alive have launched a fresh investigation into the case.

If successful in their claim the family could secure £1m in damages. The case is expected to finish hearing evidence in November.

'Boy Planned Columbine Massacre At Ex-School'

A teenager armed with guns and explosives planned a repeat of the Columbine massacre at his former school, a court has heard.

The boy, who was 16 at the time, was found to have petrol bombs, air rifles, pistols and armour at his home.

It is alleged he planned to use them against staff and pupils at the school in Loughborough, Leicestershire.

The teenager, who has Asperger's syndrome, also named his college, a local mosque, a cinema, Loughborough University and the town's council offices as potential targets, an Old Bailey jury heard.

A Che Guevara notebook emblazoned with Nazi swastikas and English Defence League (EDL) mottos was found when his home was searched by police in February.

It included drawings showing how he would arm himself and discussed tactics to carry out The New Columbine, the court was told.

Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold murdered 12 students and one teacher at Columbine High School in Colorado in 1999 before both committing suicide in one of America's worst mass shootings.

Columbine High School

Mujahideen Poisons Handbook was also found in the defendant's home along with video and dictaphone recordings in which he discussed an attack, it was claimed.

Prosecutor Max Hill QC said the jury must consider whether the boy was a "misfit" or "something altogether more sinister and serious".

Mr Hill said the boy, now 17, claimed to be a member of an EDL branch and had a Nazi swastika on his bedroom wall along with a poster of the Joker from the Batman film, the Dark Knight.

He wrote in a letter found at his home that there were "too many Muslims in the UK and Europe" who wanted to "take over Europe and put Sharia law in place".

The defendant, who cannot be named for legal reasons, denies a charge of possessing items for the purpose, preparation and instigation of an act of terrorism.

These include nine partially assembled petrol bombs, a quantity of part-assembled pipe bombs, partially constructed improvised explosive devices (IEDs), a stab proof vest, a gas mask and three 0.22 air rifles, it is alleged.

The boy also denies one count of possessing a document or record containing information likely to be useful for a person committing or preparing an act of terrorism, and a further count of possessing explosives in the form of component parts of IEDs.

He and two other 17-year-olds have already pleaded guilty to two charges of possessing petrol bombs and component parts of pipe bombs for the use of explosive devices.

The trial continues.

Christina Edkins Killer Locked Up Indefinitely

By Lisa Dowd, Midlands Correspondent

An NHS Trust has admitted it has "lessons to learn" after a paranoid schizophrenic was detained indefinitely for killing schoolgirl Christina Edkins.

Philip Simelane stabbed the 16-year-old in a random attack on a bus during the rush hour less than three months after he was released unsupervised from prison, despite warnings over the state of his mental health.

Simelane, 23, who has a history of mental illness, was sentenced at Birmingham Crown Court after admitting manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility.

Birmingham and Solihull Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust said it was leading an external review into the case as Christina's family asked questions about Simelane's treatment.

The court heard that before the killing a specialist registrar had recommended Simelane should receive specialist in-patient treatment for his mental health issues.

It also emerged that a year before the fatal stabbing he had made death threats on a bus to two girls, who warned the authorities that he may have been mentally ill.

Mrs Justice Thirlwall said anyone hearing the facts of the case would be disturbed that Simelane was sleeping rough and receiving no treatment when he attacked Christina in Birmingham in March.

The judge said that as early as mid-2005, his own mother was "repeatedly asking for help" for her son and was desperate for assistance.

In July last year he was made the subject of a restraining order and jailed for 26 weeks for offences, including an assault on a police officer and an incident in which he threatened his mother with a knife.

Christina's family arrive at Birmingham Crown Court

But a week after his release from prison in October 2012, Simelane was jailed again for vehicle interference. 

The judge said he finally received some treatment in prison but it was limited and an investigation will try to establish why that did not apparently continue after his release in December 2012.

Brian Russell, defending, told the court he had asked Simelane before the hearing if he had anything to say to those who had been affected by the killing.

"He said 'I didn't mean to kill that girl, I am ashamed of what has happened and I wish to apologise'."

A family statement issued after the guilty plea said: "Christina was a beautiful, bright, caring girl, loved by everyone.

"The loss of a child is the worst thing that can ever happen, made even more grievous be such a senseless crime as this.

"The family are all the victims and must pay the penalty as we stand by helplessly and watch the lives of the people we love shattered like precious glass, knowing we can never put the fragile pieces back together."

Christina's great uncle, Chris Melia, told Sky News: "It's such a horrific senseless crime. I don't know how you come to terms with it. I haven't."

"He quite clearly shouldn't have been out in society, there had been enough warning signs that he was a danger.

Jason Edkins, Christina's father

"As I understand it, in October, whilst he was in prison, the appropriate mental health experts noted he should, when he was released, be in some way supervised and helped to get back into society in an acceptable manner, but it didn't happen.

"He was released on 13th December, basically with no fixed abode, and in less than three months he killed an innocent young girl in the prime of her life."

Mr Melia paid tribute to Christina as a "popular", "attractive" and "quietly confident" girl.

The Birmingham and Solihull Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust confirmed it was involved in Simelane's prison-based care.

In a statement, the trust said: "We would like to offer our sincere condolences to Christina's family for what was an unprovoked attack on an innocent member of the public.

"Phillip Simelane had previously been in receipt of care from a number of healthcare providers over a period of years.

"What is clear, is that there are lessons to be learned for us and others involved in the care of Phillip Simelane to prevent such a tragedy happening again in the future.

"As a trust we are currently leading an external review, commissioned by Birmingham Cross City Clinical Commissioning Group, on behalf of all the parties involved and intend to report on our findings in December 2013.

"We would not want to speculate on the outcome of this review, but we are clear that this will be an externally reviewed, thorough investigation and we will seek to learn from and fully implement these findings across the healthcare providers involved."

Christina was preparing to take her GCSEs when she died

West Midlands Police say they were called to Simelane's home in Walsall by his family 21 times. On one occasion he held a knife to his mother's stomach.

Superintendent Richard Baker said: "There doesn't appear to be any care plan since his release from prison in December 2012.

"There's currently an independent review being conducted by all agencies who had contact with Phillip Simelane during that period, not just police but probation, prison, and Birmingham and Solihull mental health team will also conduct independent reviews to understand exactly what support Simelane had in place."

He added it was "highly unlikely" that Simelane would ever be released.

Simelane, who was homeless, boarded the number 9 bus at 5am on March 7. He had been challenged by the driver for sleeping on the back seat on the top deck.

Christina got on the bus at 7.30am on the city's Broad Street, a journey she made every day. Seven minutes later, she was dead.

Without warning, and for no reason, Simelane got up and thrust a kitchen knife into her chest once. He then casually walked down the aisle, down the stairs, and briefly spoke to the driver before getting off.

There was just one other passenger upstairs, a 14-year-old boy, who only realised what had happened when Christina cried out for help. Downstairs passengers rushed to her aid, but she could not be saved.

Officers scoured the city centre for Simelane and arrested him more than four hours later.
