Sima Kotecha at the gates

Today's BBC News at Six reported on the ruling by the Court of Appeal that an Islamic faith school, Al-Hijrah in Birmingham, had broken the law by segregating girls and boys. Sima Kotecha's report featured three voices critical of the ruling and only one supportive of it - or, to put it even more statistically, 43 seconds went to those disagreeing with the Court of Appeal and only 10 seconds went to those agreeing with it. I kind-of suspected their report on this story would tend in that direction.
