Now the news for the East Midlands, I'm Quentin Rayner.

:00:14.:00:17.

Police say a teenager whose body was found near a Derbyshire park

:00:18.:00:20.

on Christmas Day may have died in a different place.

:00:21.:00:23.

17-year-old Han Lam, a Vietnamese national,

:00:24.:00:26.

Vietnamese national Han Lam, aged 17.

:00:27.:00:36.

West Midlands Police say the body found at 9pm on Christmas Day,

:00:37.:00:41.

near Heanor Memorial Park in Derbyshire, could

:00:42.:00:43.

Today, near a doorway, flowers mark where Derbyshire Police say the body

:00:44.:00:51.

It's a place that's home to a range of businesses,

:00:52.:00:54.

Couldn't believe when I heard about it.

:00:55.:01:01.

It's very sad for the family, whoever they are.

:01:02.:01:09.

A post-mortem hasn't revealed the cause of death and further tests

:01:10.:01:12.

Derbyshire Police say Han Lam's death remains unexplained

:01:13.:01:18.

and they believe he may have died in a different place

:01:19.:01:21.

Derbyshire Police want to trace the occupants of a dark

:01:22.:01:28.

grey Toyata Avensis, seen in the Heanor area between 11am

:01:29.:01:30.

They say their timescale has widened after previously asking for anyone

:01:31.:01:38.

who saw something suspicious in the afternoon to come forward.

:01:39.:01:42.

Han Lam was last seen in the Shropshire town

:01:43.:01:46.

of Bridgenorth where he was staying, and has connections to Birmingham.

:01:47.:01:50.

In May, West Midlands Police said he wasn't in any trouble

:01:51.:01:53.

but they wanted to make sure he was safe and well.

:01:54.:01:56.

There's nothing yet to link him with Heanor.

:01:57.:02:04.

Bomb disposal experts were called to a house in Leicester today

:02:05.:02:06.

after an old grenade was discovered inside.

:02:07.:02:08.

Police found the grenade after being called to the house

:02:09.:02:11.

on Loughborough Road following reports of a sudden death.

:02:12.:02:17.

The body of an 89-year-old man was recovered and police are not

:02:18.:02:20.

The area was cordoned off for public safety whilst a bomb disposal team

:02:21.:02:24.

A year ago hundreds of people were left jobless after a Derbyshire

:02:25.:02:34.

Now the company which took over Leaderflush Shapland's main factory

:02:35.:02:37.

says it intends to bring most of those jobs back.

:02:38.:02:39.

It's already hired more than 60 people who were made redundant

:02:40.:02:42.

On New Year's Eve, we got a letter saying don't bother coming back...

:02:43.:02:52.

12 months ago, Cheryl was among over 300 people made reduntant

:02:53.:02:56.

by Leaderflush Shapland's here at its Langley Mill site.

:02:57.:03:00.

It blamed the closure on financial pressures on its parent company.

:03:01.:03:05.

The shock of sudden unemployment hit everyone who worked here.

:03:06.:03:10.

Don't know what you're going to do next.

:03:11.:03:13.

One year on, Cheryl is back at the factory.

:03:14.:03:19.

Another doormaker, UK Fire Doors, took over the site and has been

:03:20.:03:22.

steadily re-employing staff who were made redundant.

:03:23.:03:28.

We saw a great opportunity, to take advantage of the training,

:03:29.:03:33.

knowledge and skill set developed here over many years.

:03:34.:03:36.

I reckon, the last 12 months, most people have moved on.

:03:37.:03:44.

All 62 workers here are former Leaderflush employees,

:03:45.:03:49.

and the company plans to keep expanding.

:03:50.:03:55.

It'll probably take a couple of years but I see no

:03:56.:03:57.

reason why we couldn't get to a couple of hundred.

:03:58.:04:00.

Compared to 12 months ago, I'm a lot happier now than I was then.

:04:01.:04:04.

Organisers of a new protest group against the revised HS2 route though

:04:05.:04:16.

northwest Leicestershire are to hold their first campaign

:04:17.:04:18.

It follows a public meeting in Measham earlier this month,

:04:19.:04:23.

They were responding to the publication of a revised

:04:24.:04:31.

route for the new high speed line around the Appleby villages.

:04:32.:04:38.

Work on a new Heritage Centre in Derbyshire will begin

:04:39.:04:41.

The historic building on St John's Street in Wirksworth

:04:42.:04:44.

will have a cafe and retail space on the ground floor.

:04:45.:04:46.

It'll house a museum on the upper floors.

:04:47.:04:48.

It's been made possible by a lottery grant of almost ?1.5 million.

:04:49.:04:55.

Now, it's not much fun if you're ill and having to spend time in hospital

:04:56.:04:59.

or on long-term medication, especially if you're a youngster.

:05:00.:05:01.

But a special youth club at Nottingham City Hospital

:05:02.:05:03.

opens its doors to around 600 young people every year, and is

:05:04.:05:06.

The kind of conversation you'd expect at any youth

:05:07.:05:12.

club, but for patients at Nottingham Hospitals,

:05:13.:05:17.

this club is also a chance to be around young people

:05:18.:05:19.

Jon Jo joined at the age of 11 after being treated for epilepsy.

:05:20.:05:26.

I was so little compared to everyone else.

:05:27.:05:32.

My confidence levels, speaking verbally to other people,

:05:33.:05:38.

The youth service started 18 months ago and was originally just

:05:39.:05:45.

Now it helps around 600 11-25 year olds every year across hospitals.

:05:46.:05:54.

Lots of added stigma, isolation, am I the only one?

:05:55.:05:56.

And going to the environment where they can meet someone

:05:57.:06:09.

else, just to understand others, it's fantastic.

:06:10.:06:13.

From sports to arts and crafts, for many the service is a vital

:06:14.:06:16.

It's been misty, sunny and chilly today, so what's in store

:06:17.:06:28.

After a relatively mild Christmas it's certainly starting to feel more

:06:29.:06:40.

We started off today with a widespread frost.

:06:41.:06:43.

This photo sent in from a weather watcher in Derby.

:06:44.:06:45.

And as we moved through the day, there really were some quite

:06:46.:06:48.

As we move through this evening and overnight,

:06:49.:06:54.

and through tomorrow morning, we do have a yellow weather

:06:55.:06:56.

Could see some really dense patches so that reduced visibility making

:06:57.:07:00.

As we move through tonight, we are staying dry.

:07:01.:07:03.

Temperatures falling to freezing in towns and cities,

:07:04.:07:11.

So if you are in the car, you want to take extra care,

:07:12.:07:18.

particularly through tomorrow morning's rush hour.

:07:19.:07:19.

If you catch a dense patch of fog, it's going to be quite tricky.

:07:20.:07:22.

As we move through the morning though, we should start to see

:07:23.:07:25.

that mist and fog lift, I think it'll lift into low cloud.

:07:26.:07:29.

One of two patches could linger into the afternoon.

:07:30.:07:31.

Temperatures reaching a maximum of four Celsius.

:07:32.:07:34.

Friday, plenty of cloud around and pick up more

:07:35.:07:39.

in the way of a breeze, but also more in the

:07:40.:07:42.

I'll be back with the team at 10:40 with our late bulletin.

:07:43.:07:53.

Good evening, the weather is proving hazardous and the fog now becoming

:07:54.:08:39.

more extensive and causing disruption

:08:40.:08:40.
