With your news now for the East Midlands, I'm Carolyn Moses.

:00:00.:00:16.

Tributes have been paid to a teenage boxer who died

:00:17.:00:19.

after collapsing in the ring during an amateur

:00:20.:00:21.

17-year-old Eddie Bilbey had been fighting at an event

:00:22.:00:24.

Police and boxing officials are now trying to establish what happened.

:00:25.:00:31.

Surrounded by friends and from a family of boxers,

:00:32.:00:39.

but last night Eddie Bilbey collapsed at the end

:00:40.:00:41.

of his fight at this venue, the Postmill Centre

:00:42.:00:44.

One boxing trainer there described to us everyone's total shock,

:00:45.:00:50.

adding, you couldn't have asked for a nice lad.

:00:51.:00:56.

He said, Eddie was 200% fit and on the night he didn't

:00:57.:01:00.

When Eddie collapsed in the ring, he was given medical treatment

:01:01.:01:03.

Derbyshire Police say at this stage they don't think there are any

:01:04.:01:08.

suspicious circumstances surrounding his death

:01:09.:01:09.

but they want to hear from anyone who was here last night who may have

:01:10.:01:14.

any footage of the bout or any other information that might help.

:01:15.:01:18.

Meanwhile, the board of England Boxing has also set up

:01:19.:01:20.

an investigation to establish the facts of what happened.

:01:21.:01:24.

And today a picture of brothers in arms, a touching tribute

:01:25.:01:29.

on social media from Eddie's older brother and fellow boxer

:01:30.:01:32.

Police have made two arrests after a man was stabbed

:01:33.:01:42.

21-year-old carpenter Reuben Morris-Laing was found injured

:01:43.:01:46.

on Robin Hood Street in St Ann's on Wednesday evening.

:01:47.:01:49.

Police say a 29-year-old Nottingham man's being questioned

:01:50.:01:53.

A 22-year-old woman, suspected of assisting an offender,

:01:54.:01:59.

A Leicestershire charity that provides hospice care

:02:00.:02:04.

for the terminally ill says its been targeted by thieves for the sixth

:02:05.:02:07.

The latest attack happened on Thursday at the LOROS shop

:02:08.:02:12.

Around ?1000 in cash was stolen and the store

:02:13.:02:16.

Charity bosses say its hard to understand.

:02:17.:02:24.

It's very heartbreaking to think of the damage.

:02:25.:02:27.

It's not what they take, it's the damage they cause as well.

:02:28.:02:30.

A priceless jug that's more than 200 years old has gone

:02:31.:02:44.

For much of that time it actually hung on a nail in a pub

:02:45.:02:49.

But it disappeared for more than a century.

:02:50.:02:52.

Now Royal Crown Derby has put it on show in its museum,

:02:53.:02:55.

A private collector offered the Rodney jug and 19

:02:56.:03:03.

other items of porcelain to Royal Crown Derby Museum.

:03:04.:03:06.

He snapped up the collection for an undisclosed sum.

:03:07.:03:09.

The spout is modelled on the British naval officer Admiral Rodney.

:03:10.:03:13.

The jug remained intact despite being used for 80 years in a pub.

:03:14.:03:18.

There's no other like it at all, definitely not.

:03:19.:03:21.

And with that story behind it, it really is priceless for us here.

:03:22.:03:25.

To be able to bring it back here, back to the city of Derby

:03:26.:03:30.

and back to the factory which is still producing today

:03:31.:03:33.

To see something of this quality, this size, this decoration,

:03:34.:03:38.

with the history that it's got, is just outstanding.

:03:39.:03:41.

I mean, I've been an auctioneer for about 25 years and this

:03:42.:03:44.

is certainly one of the most wonderful pieces of Derby

:03:45.:03:47.

The jug will be on permanent display by the rest of the collection can be

:03:48.:03:54.

-- while the rest of the collection can be seen.

:03:55.:04:08.

Onto sport now and in rugby Leicester Tigers have been in action

:04:09.:04:11.

In the derby match against Northampton Saints,

:04:12.:04:14.

two late penalties saw the Tigers win 36-31.

:04:15.:04:15.

And in football, there were only a couple of games today

:04:16.:04:18.

In League Two, Mansfield Town won 3-1 at Morecambe,

:04:19.:04:21.

while Notts County beat Wycombe Wanderers 1-0.

:04:22.:04:23.

Time for a look at the weather now with Jennifer.

:04:24.:04:25.

After a sunny afternoon, quite a cold night to come.

:04:26.:04:29.

Clear skies leading to a touch of frost here and there.

:04:30.:04:32.

Temperatures in towns and cities dropping to around 3-4 C.

:04:33.:04:34.

A chilly start first thing on Sunday morning,

:04:35.:04:39.

we may well have some patchy mist and fog, but we are looking

:04:40.:04:42.

The cloud tending to come and go through the afternoon.

:04:43.:04:49.

Temperatures reaching a high of around 14 Celsius,

:04:50.:04:51.

A lot more in the way of cloud on Monday but still

:04:52.:04:55.

A few showers in the forecast for Tuesday.

:04:56.:04:58.

Good evening. What a belter of a day it has been. If you missed out on

:04:59.:05:23.

the sunshine, don't worry, we will get more tomorrow. The one

:05:24.:05:27.

exception, the Shetland Islands, shrouded in cloud.

:05:28.:05:30.
