26/01/2014 East Midlands Today

With your news now for the East Midlands, I'm Maurice Flynn. This

weekend's storm has left a temple in Leicester almost in ruins. The gable

end collapsed and a third of the roof was destroyed by the lightning

and strong winds. Just an hour beforehand, the temple had been

packed with worshippers. Today, this was the damage caused.

The entire area was illuminated by the flash of lightning, and at that

time, it must have hit the building and the wall and roof of blown off.

The total cost of the damage would be about ?250,000, but if the

lightning have struck an hour earlier, the human cost would have

been a lot greater. Since yesterday, I have been very emotional. You care

about the community. As the Temple tries to cope with the destruction,

not far away, the residents are coming to terms with what they

described as a mini tornado. It was a disaster scene. All over the road,

it was like a horror movie. I was gutted. The people on the street say

this storm lasted no longer than 20 minutes in total but it would take

months to clean up its mess. An area of woodland has been

cordoned off by police after the discovery of a bone that's believed

to be human. The discovery in woodland near Papplewick in

Nottinghamshire was made by a dog`walker. Forensic tests are being

carried out. Police will then decide if it's a a criminal matter or an

archaeological concern. Police investigating a death in

Hinckley have charged a man with murder. Police officers were called

to Factory Road in the town on Friday after reports of an assault

and a woman falling from a first floor window with a baby. A

31`year`old man will appear before magistrates in Loughborough

tomorrow. Drugs experts in the East Midlands

testing legal highs are warning they're coming across mind`changing

chemicals never seen before. In some cases, illegal and dangerous

substances are being found in legal`high products.

They are known as legal highs, but experts call them new psychoactive

substances. We take more in the UK than anywhere else in Europe. Karin

is 20 and from Derbyshire. Since first legal high experience she has

had plenty more. I had one bad experience where I thought I would

die. He was zoning out. You're not thinking anything. When it goes

wrong, hospital toxicologists have to find out what patients have

taken. If we don't know what these compounds are, it's very difficult

for clinicians to give the correct treatment. Unfortunately, we are

seeing these cases too late. Legal highs are available on the Internet

and in other places. The government will announce in the spring how it

plans to deal with the trade. See more of Sarah's investigation on

tomorrow night's Inside Out for the East Midlands. That's here on BBC

One at 7.30pm. Onto football, the draw that's just

been made means Nottingham Forest will meet either Sheffield United or

Fulham in the fifth round of the FA Cup if they win their replay at

Preston. Meanwhile, in the Championship, Leicester City

stretched their lead at the top. With that and yesterday's action

here's Mark Shardlow. A storm hit the stadium just before

kick`off. Thunder, lightning, hail, rain and wind but the ground just

about held it together. A storm that is Leicester City. This was the club

record's seventh successive win. The second was a thunderous header. A

comfortable win for the league leaders. Derby County seem to be

doing well at Blackburn. The home side, though, went ahead at the 47th

minute. Another lovely goal from Patrick Bamford made it 1`1. There

was a day huge at Knott County. Mansfield town came back from 2`1 to

get a point at home to Wycombe. We have had a bit of everything so

far today. An awful lot of rain. It could be even more interesting. Some

of these showers have the potential to turn wintry. A little bit of a

dusting of snow first thing on Monday morning, particularly on high

ground. It's very unlikely to be disruptive but you might know it is

there. A very icy start on Monday. Further showers on the way but lots

of dry weather in there, too. You will notice how cold it has got as

well. We have got more wet weather and cold weather to come and more

wintry stuff as we go through the week.

Until then, plenty more news on our website. Bye-bye.

Good evening. will keep going through the nights

tonight and as the air turns colder,

tonight and as the air turns wintry. A mixture of sleet and snow
