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

0:00:130:00:15

Good evening.

0:00:160:00:16

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

0:00:160:00:21

on Christmas Day may have died in a different place.

0:00:210:00:23

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

0:00:230:00:26

was discovered near Heanor Memorial Park.

0:00:260:00:29

Mike O'Sullivan has this report.

0:00:290:00:32

Missing since April.

0:00:320:00:33

Vietnamese national Han Lam, aged 17.

0:00:330:00:36

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

0:00:360:00:40

near Heanor Memorial Park in Derbyshire, could

0:00:400:00:44

potentially be his.

0:00:440:00:45

They still need DNA confirmation.

0:00:450:00:47

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

0:00:470:00:50

of Han Lam was discovered.

0:00:500:00:53

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

0:00:530:00:56

including a nursery.

0:00:560:00:58

Dreadful.

0:00:580:00:59

Absolutely dreadful.

0:00:590:01:00

Couldn't believe when I heard about it.

0:01:000:01:02

It's really shocking, really shocking.

0:01:020:01:03

This time of year, especially.

0:01:030:01:05

It's Christmas Day.

0:01:050:01:06

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

0:01:060:01:11

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

0:01:110:01:14

are due to be carried out.

0:01:140:01:15

Derbyshire Police say Han Lam's death remains unexplained

0:01:150:01:17

and they believe he may have died in a different place

0:01:170:01:22

to where his body was found.

0:01:220:01:26

Derbyshire Police want to trace the occupants of a dark

0:01:260:01:28

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

0:01:280:01:32

and 12pm on Christmas Day.

0:01:320:01:35

They say their timescale has widened after previously asking for anyone

0:01:350:01:39

who saw something suspicious in the afternoon to come forward.

0:01:390:01:43

Han Lam was last seen in the Shropshire town of Bridgenorth,

0:01:430:01:46

where he was staying, and has connections to Birmingham.

0:01:460:01:50

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

0:01:500:01:54

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

0:01:540:01:57

There's nothing yet to link him with Heanor.

0:01:570:02:05

Bomb disposal experts were called to a house in Leicester today

0:02:050:02:07

after an old grenade was discovered inside.

0:02:070:02:11

Police found it after recovering the body of an 89-year-old man

0:02:110:02:14

at the house on Loughborough Road.

0:02:150:02:17

His death is not being treated as suspicious.

0:02:170:02:21

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

0:02:210:02:25

dealt with the grenade.

0:02:250:02:35

A Derbyshire doormaker which shed hundreds of jobs a year ago says it

0:02:380:02:42

intends to bring most of them back onsite.

0:02:420:02:44

Leaderflush-Shapland has already hired more than 60 people

0:02:440:02:45

since being taken over by UK Fire Doors.

0:02:450:02:47

Navtej Johal reports.

0:02:470:02:48

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

0:02:480:02:51

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

0:02:510:02:54

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

0:02:540:02:56

The shock of sudden unemployment hit everyone who worked here.

0:02:560:03:02

Depressing.

0:03:020:03:05

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

0:03:050:03:08

Cos there's not that many jobs out there, is there?

0:03:080:03:11

One year on, Cheryl is back at the factory.

0:03:110:03:13

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

0:03:130:03:17

steadily re-employing staff who were made redundant.

0:03:170:03:20

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

0:03:200:03:23

the knowledge and the skill set that had been developed

0:03:230:03:26

here over many years.

0:03:260:03:28

It's brilliant.

0:03:280:03:29

Better than before.

0:03:290:03:30

Better than Leaderflush.

0:03:300:03:31

It's ten times better than Leaderflush.

0:03:310:03:34

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

0:03:340:03:37

Probably into a better job.

0:03:370:03:40

All 62 workers here are former Leaderflush employees,

0:03:400:03:43

and the company plans to keep expanding.

0:03:430:03:49

Navtej Johal, East Midlands Today, Langley Mill.

0:03:490:03:53

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

0:03:530:03:56

in hospital or on medication.

0:03:560:04:01

And it's even harder if you're just a youngster.

0:04:010:04:03

But a special youth club at Nottingham City Hospital,

0:04:030:04:06

which opens its doors to around 600 young people every year

0:04:060:04:08

is celebrating its 18th birthday.

0:04:080:04:10

Here's Geeta Pendse.

0:04:100:04:11

PS1, PS2 are the best consoles, for me.

0:04:110:04:14

The kind of conversation you'd expect at any youth

0:04:140:04:18

club, but for patients at Nottingham Hospitals,

0:04:180:04:20

this club is also a chance to be around young people

0:04:200:04:25

who are going through the same thing.

0:04:250:04:26

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

0:04:260:04:30

I was so shy and scared.

0:04:300:04:31

I was so little compared to everyone else and

0:04:310:04:34

they just opened their hearts to me.

0:04:340:04:38

My confidence levels, me verbally speaking to other people,

0:04:380:04:43

has increased by so much.

0:04:430:04:44

The youth service started 18 years ago and was originally just

0:04:440:04:47

for patients at the renal unit.

0:04:470:04:49

Now it helps around 600 11-25 year olds every year

0:04:490:04:53

across the hospitals.

0:04:530:04:56

To come to an environment where just to meet someone

0:04:560:04:58

else, whether it's a similar condition or just being in hospital

0:04:580:05:01

where they can understand others, it's fantastic.

0:05:010:05:03

From sports to arts and crafts, for many here,

0:05:030:05:06

the service is a vital source of fun and friendship.

0:05:060:05:10

Geeta Pendse, BBC East Midlands Today.

0:05:100:05:16

It looks like we're in for a chilly night.

0:05:160:05:21

Here's Lucy, who has our weather forecast.

0:05:210:05:23

Good evening.

0:05:230:05:24

Some dense patches of fog to look out for as we move through tonight

0:05:240:05:27

and tomorrow morning.

0:05:280:05:28

As such, there is a yellow warning in place from the Met Office.

0:05:280:05:32

That lasts till tomorrow morning.

0:05:320:05:33

The reduced visibility could make for some quite

0:05:330:05:35

tricky driving conditions, so do just take it easy

0:05:350:05:37

if you're out on the roads.

0:05:370:05:38

Putting the details onto the map, then, we're staying dry.

0:05:380:05:41

I think we'll see quite a widespread frost developing as temperatures

0:05:410:05:43

fall close to freezing in towns and cities.

0:05:430:05:45

Slightly cooler, though, if you're out in the countryside

0:05:450:05:48

but it's those patches of freezing fog and mist you want to look out

0:05:480:05:51

for through the night and tomorrow morning.

0:05:510:05:53

They will start to slowly lift and that will be into low cloud

0:05:530:05:56

so I think we're looking at a largely cloudy day tomorrow.

0:05:560:05:58

Could just catch a break, if you're lucky.

0:05:580:06:00

Temperatures, though, not up to much, a maximum of 4

0:06:000:06:03

Celsius with a light breeze.

0:06:030:06:04

As we move into Friday, though, I think we're looking at a cloudier

0:06:040:06:07

and breezier day but I do think that will bring with it a little bit more

0:06:070:06:11

in the way of brightness.

0:06:110:06:12

It's a similar story into Saturday but we could just see some rain

0:06:120:06:15

coming down from the North through the night so stay tuned

0:06:150:06:18

to the forecast and watch out for that fog tomorrow morning.

0:06:180:06:28

That's all for now.
