:00:00. > :00:09.upheaval of August 1914. That is all from us,

:00:10. > :00:18.And now the news for the East Midlands, I'm Anne Davies.

:00:19. > :00:23.First tonight, five people have denied murdering four members of the

:00:24. > :00:25.same family in a house fire in Leicester.

:00:26. > :00:29.In a separate case, two men pleaded not guilty to the murder of the

:00:30. > :00:39.football coach Antoin Akpom in the same city a few hours earlier.

:00:40. > :00:43.In the early evening of September 12 last year on Kent Street in

:00:44. > :00:46.Leicester, Antoin Akpom, a 20`year`old football coach was

:00:47. > :00:49.killed by a single stab wound. Today at Birmingham Crown Court, two

:00:50. > :00:52.19`year`old men from Leicester, Hussein Hussein and Abdul Hakim both

:00:53. > :01:01.pleaded not guilty to a murder charge. They remain in custody.

:01:02. > :01:04.In the early hours of 13 September last year, Shehnila Taufiq and her

:01:05. > :01:08.three teenage children were killed in a fire in their house in the Wood

:01:09. > :01:12.Hill area of Leicester. Today, five of those accused on four counts of

:01:13. > :01:15.murder entered pleas. They are all aged between 17 and 24. Shaun

:01:16. > :01:19.Carter, Jackson Powell, Akeem Jeffers and Tristan Richards and a

:01:20. > :01:22.youth who cannot be named because of his age, all pleaded not guilty to

:01:23. > :01:31.all charges. They were remanded into custody.

:01:32. > :01:35.A mistake meant that three other men who faced the same charges were not

:01:36. > :01:41.brought to court today. They will now enter pleas in March. The High

:01:42. > :01:44.Court judge ruled there was enough self contained evidence for both

:01:45. > :01:47.cases to be heard at separate trials. The stabbing case is being

:01:48. > :01:51.set for the beginning of April and the house fire trial will start

:01:52. > :01:53.three weeks later. The first is expected to last up to three weeks,

:01:54. > :02:05.the second could take up to eight. A woman suffered multiple injuries

:02:06. > :02:10.after falling down stairs while sleepwalking. Morag Fisher needed

:02:11. > :02:13.two emergency operations. Experts at Nottingham's Queen's Medical Centre

:02:14. > :02:15.say they see two or three cases a year of people being badly hurt

:02:16. > :02:27.because of sleepwalking. The right wrist has healed well...

:02:28. > :02:34.Morag's injuries were life threatening. Sleepwalking, she fell

:02:35. > :02:38.downstairs at her partner's home. I was in a strange house, not my own

:02:39. > :02:45.home, which I think was a major factor in the accident.

:02:46. > :02:50.Having heard she fell down a flight of stairs I am not surprised that

:02:51. > :02:53.she had a catalogue of injuries. Facial injuries, broken nose,

:02:54. > :03:01.cheekbone, ribs, damaged vertebra in her back, broken wrists.

:03:02. > :03:07.I'm very lucky to be here. This is where your girlfriend fell

:03:08. > :03:16.down. At 5am I heard a massive crash and

:03:17. > :03:20.she had hit the door. I came out of the bedroom and found her where we

:03:21. > :03:24.are standing now. If she had banged her head or twisted her spine in the

:03:25. > :03:27.wrong way, it could have been a lot worse.

:03:28. > :03:30.She spent ten days in the East Midlands major trauma unit at

:03:31. > :03:33.Nottingham's Queen's Medical Centre. I think she must have gone

:03:34. > :03:37.headfirst, given the way she landed and her injuries. She must have

:03:38. > :03:38.landed on her face with her arms outstretched. She had some pretty

:03:39. > :03:48.nasty injuries. It's thought one in three children

:03:49. > :03:51.will sleepwalk at some point and an American study revealed that one in

:03:52. > :03:54.30 adults reported sleepwalking in the previous year. It usually occurs

:03:55. > :04:02.during deep sleep and in the first few hours after falling asleep.

:04:03. > :04:08.They can't see, even though their eyes are open. They don't go around

:04:09. > :04:11.with their hands in front of them, as you see in cartoons. They

:04:12. > :04:14.sometimes forget where they are in the house.

:04:15. > :04:18.The NHS gets so much bad press. But I would not have gone the treatment

:04:19. > :04:23.I got anywhere else in the world. And with her body healing, Morag has

:04:24. > :04:26.now fitted stair gates at home. The full effects of the weekend's

:04:27. > :04:29.storms are still being assessed across the region. Roofs and fences

:04:30. > :04:32.were damaged with some people claiming a mini hurricane had ripped

:04:33. > :04:35.off tiles. But the most dramatic incident was caught on CCTV when

:04:36. > :04:42.lightning struck a temple in Leicester.

:04:43. > :04:46.Cameras capture the dramatic moment lightning strikes.

:04:47. > :04:48.It looked as if the whole area had been eliminated by the flash of

:04:49. > :04:51.lightning. As the ceiling crashes down, a group

:04:52. > :04:54.of worshippers have a very narrow escape.

:04:55. > :05:01.The rear wall and the roof where literally blown off.

:05:02. > :05:04.And from the outside, CCTV cameras capture the debris flying across the

:05:05. > :05:08.road. The force is so great, it knocks the camera on its side.

:05:09. > :05:11.There was a particular car parked there and one of the beams went

:05:12. > :05:14.through the windscreen like a javelin. It was lodged inside the

:05:15. > :05:17.dashboard. There were three people in it, but one of them had a glass

:05:18. > :05:28.cut, that was it. Today the full extent of the damage

:05:29. > :05:33.to the Ramgarhia Sikh temple can be clearly seen. Structural engineers

:05:34. > :05:35.are working out how and when it can be repaired. Despite the rubble,

:05:36. > :05:37.there's relief that only the building bore the brunt of the

:05:38. > :05:41.storm. People were very fortunate not to be

:05:42. > :05:58.injured. If that had happened while the congregation hall was full, then

:05:59. > :06:02.we would have had fatalities. And still with the weather ` it

:06:03. > :06:06.could be another six months before a council report into last summer's

:06:07. > :06:08.floods in the Southwell area is made public. Last July, dozens of homes

:06:09. > :06:11.and businesses were swamped when three inches of rain fell in a few

:06:12. > :06:15.hours. Nottinghamshire County Council says it has gathered a huge

:06:16. > :06:18.amount of information about the town's water courses, which is

:06:19. > :06:26.helping them draw up more robust anti`flooding measures.

:06:27. > :06:38.Hello. There is more rain to come in the next 24 hours. This time, in the

:06:39. > :06:48.form of showers. We will also have some brisk south`westerly winds.

:06:49. > :06:52.These will form in bands of showers. There could be a wintry element

:06:53. > :07:01.across the Peak District from time to time. Tomorrow morning we had

:07:02. > :07:07.showers from the word go and they will be coming in thick and fast

:07:08. > :07:15.through the morning. Some dry places in between if you're lucky. But it

:07:16. > :07:23.feel quite cold. A possibility of some hail and Thunder thrown in for

:07:24. > :07:24.good measure. Fewer showers on Wednesday but it is turning a lot

:07:25. > :07:44.colder. It's going to get colder than it's

:07:45. > :07:48.been all winter. Ahead of that, though, the showers keep going and

:07:49. > :07:53.going through tonight and into tomorrow. Some of them heavy,

:07:54. > :07:58.possibly thundery too. Here's the satellite. We can pick out the swirl

:07:59. > :08:02.of cloud here. The bands of shower clouds that have been streaming into

:08:03. > :08:05.the UK. All driven and wrapped around an area of low. That is the

:08:06. > :08:09.driving force for the showers that we have at the moment. The centre

:08:10. > :08:13.close to Northern Ireland, which is why it's been so wet earlier in the

:08:14. > :08:17.evening. As the low drifts south, it takes more showers into England and

:08:18. > :08:18.Wales. With fewer breaks in the cloud overnight,
