    A father-of-two will run five marathons over five days - dressed as Santa Claus. Now there's an intro you don't see every day.

    From Monday, Jon Kinder, 47, will run the seven miles from his Oakwood home to his place of work, Rolls-Royce, in Sinfin. Then, after work, he will run 19 miles home via a different Derby suburb.

    Mr Kinder is aiming to raise at least £500 for the Rainbows Hospice for Children & Young People.

    However, instead of pursuing a prosecution, the victims agreed to a "restorative justice" option, whereby the hacker will now give tips to the firm about cyber security. 

    Derbyshire cyber crime unit investigator, Det Con Mick Donegan, said: "When the man was questioned... he admitted his actions but was unaware that he had broken the law.

    "Police... take cybercrime very seriously and action will be taken against offenders.”

    A hacker who was arrested after targeting a Derbyshire organisation will now be giving them advice on how to boost their security.

    The 24-year-old, from London, was detained for computer misuse by the Metropolitan Police after the company - which has asked to remain anonymous - contacted police, believing their networks had been breached.

    The man admitted accessing email accounts by using information found on social media websites like LinkedIn and Facebook to identify targets and bypass their security questions. This then gave him access to information held by the organisation.

    Historic photographs including one showing the last time the River Trent froze over are to go on display in an exhibition about extreme weather at Lakeside Arts in Nottingham on Thursday.

    Floods feature heavily in the exhibition and curator Georgina Endfield has found that these extreme events tend to "draw people together".

    The Great Flood of 1932, in Derby, when the Markeaton Brook culvert overflowed during heavy rain, is an example of this, she said.

    Several Derby schools will close during their lunch breaks today - as six days of strike action by school support staff over changes to pay and conditions begin.

    A handful will remain shut into the afternoon following the announcement by Unison last week.

    The strike action will continue tomorrow, with two more days planned next Monday and Tuesday, followed by 19 and 20 January.

  15. Football: Burton slump to late Huddersfield defeat

    BBC Sport

    Huddersfield scored late on to win at struggling Burton and consolidate their place in the Championship play-offs.

    Defeat sees Burton slip to 21st, two points clear of the drop zone, as they lost for the third time in five games.

    In a first half of few chances, Damien McCrory and Jamie Ward fired over for the hosts, while Huddersfield's Nahki Wells blazed a free-kick over.

    Wells then turned match-winner, heading in Christopher Schindler's knock-back from Aaron Mooy's free-kick.

    We deserved at least a point out of the game. The players were magnificent from start to finish and couldn't give any more. We've played well, created chances but just couldn't finish one and then they pop up in the 85th minute."

    Ms Boyko said Jean Jeanie is back in Long Eaton and has been "accepted" into a small herd by three dairy cows.

  18. 'People's cow' lonely no more

    Alex Smith
    BBC News Online

    I've just had a message from Trisha Boyko, the owner of Jean Jeanie aka "the people's cow". 

    You'll remember that thanks to the generosity of a campaign funded by people from across the world - including America, Australia and Hungary - Jean Jeanie's future began to look a little brighter.

    Her long-term prospects were then secured after Cornish accountant Martin Sands, who saw our story, agreed to pay £65 a month for Jean Jeanie's ongoing upkeep.

    Now, Ms Boyko said, after eight years in isolation, the cow is living with other cattle for the first time in her life.
