And now the news for the East Midlands, I'm Dominic Heale.

:00:12.:00:14.

First tonight, police in Derbyshire investigating the discovery

:00:15.:00:18.

of a body on Christmas Day say they've been overwhelmed

:00:19.:00:21.

by the support they've had from people offering information.

:00:22.:00:25.

Vietnamese national Han Lam was found near Heanor Memorial Park.

:00:26.:00:29.

Officers believe the 17-year-old may have died in a different place.

:00:30.:00:33.

They want to hear from anyone who saw a dark grey

:00:34.:00:36.

Farmers across the East Midlands are working to keep their birds

:00:37.:00:42.

safe, after avian flu was discovered in Leicestershire last week.

:00:43.:00:46.

The Government's urged to keep all poultry indoors.

:00:47.:00:50.

Jo Healey reports now on how a farm park is protecting it's flock.

:00:51.:00:56.

They have around 50 hens, geese and ducks here

:00:57.:00:58.

At this time of year, for six hours a day,

:00:59.:01:05.

they expect to be outdoors, but not this winter.

:01:06.:01:10.

They're a bit miffed, certainly on nice days

:01:11.:01:14.

when they would sooner be outside in the sunshine.

:01:15.:01:16.

Luckily, with it being the winter time, the days are short

:01:17.:01:19.

anyway, so they spend most of their time inside.

:01:20.:01:21.

Staying inside all the time is something DEFRA demanded in early

:01:22.:01:25.

December from all poultry keepers, even people with hens in the garden.

:01:26.:01:29.

It is to make sure they do not come into contact with wild birds

:01:30.:01:33.

then the whole flock would catch it from there.

:01:34.:01:53.

We have to take every precaution we can to keep them safe.

:01:54.:01:56.

The measures to keep all birds safe will be reassessed in the New Year.

:01:57.:02:05.

A dramatisation of the last few days of a murdered Leicestershire

:02:06.:02:08.

teenager's life will be available to watch online from the new year.

:02:09.:02:12.

Kayleigh Haywood was groomed, raped, and murdered last November

:02:13.:02:15.

The video, called Kayleigh's story, has won national awards,

:02:16.:02:21.

and has been used by police to warn other young people of

:02:22.:02:24.

It's hoped lottery funding could help turn an old tram depot

:02:25.:02:30.

The old Stoneygate depot on London Road was decomissioned

:02:31.:02:36.

in 1922, and later used as a railway museum in the '60s and '70s.

:02:37.:02:42.

Now the Leicester Transport Heritage Trust has applied for funding to buy

:02:43.:02:45.

The last service for almost a year will be held at a medieval church

:02:46.:02:53.

in Leicestershire on New Year's Day, before it undergoes a ?2

:02:54.:02:56.

People who attend St Mary's Church in Melton Mowbrary will be holding

:02:57.:03:01.

services at the nearby council offices while the work takes place.

:03:02.:03:04.

Parts of Saint Mary 's Church date back to 1170. Now without changes to

:03:05.:03:21.

the way it looks, it needs updating. The major cost will be raising the

:03:22.:03:26.

level of the floor to make it more accessible and improve heating. A

:03:27.:03:31.

big donation has held. A local historian died and left us about 1

:03:32.:03:37.

million pounds and the project itself will be nearly 2 million so

:03:38.:03:42.

that's a good amount of money to take us towards the total, but the

:03:43.:03:48.

rest will have to be raised from the local community, charities and

:03:49.:03:51.

people who want to give to do something to a building which means

:03:52.:03:56.

so much. A window that is clear glass at the moment will this design

:03:57.:04:02.

to number the man who gave the donation. The organ will also be

:04:03.:04:10.

updated. The main project to raise the floor will be carried out very

:04:11.:04:17.

carefully. Setting stones are Ledger stones which are dedicated to

:04:18.:04:23.

different people who have died in the past, but we have to settle

:04:24.:04:26.

those back into the floor approximately where they are at the

:04:27.:04:32.

moment. During most of 2017, people will worship at council offices but

:04:33.:04:39.

they will look forward to returning. A member of our congregation said

:04:40.:04:46.

our opening him should be nearer my God to the. They should be back at

:04:47.:04:50.

Saint Mary 's in time for next Christmas.

:04:51.:04:52.

Finally, four tiny kittens are looking for a new home

:04:53.:04:55.

after being rescued from a building site.

:04:56.:04:57.

The one-month-old cats were discovered at the site

:04:58.:04:59.

in Nottingham just moments before diggers moved in and are now

:05:00.:05:02.

being looked after by staff at the RSPCA in Derby.

:05:03.:05:05.

They've re-homed hundreds of animals this year,

:05:06.:05:08.

People have one cat, the cat becomes pregnant,

:05:09.:05:18.

one cat becomes four, five, six cats and people realise

:05:19.:05:21.

the financial cost overall looking after them is quite

:05:22.:05:23.

It stops any unwanted breeding, it also has health

:05:24.:05:28.

It's icy and cold outside, so let's get the weather forecast

:05:29.:05:34.

for the rest of tonight and tomorrow with Lucy.

:05:35.:05:41.

One or two mist or fog patches to look out for tonight. More in the

:05:42.:05:49.

way of low cloud and yesterday and temperatures close to freezing in

:05:50.:05:53.

towns and cities. You could see a patchy frost to start tomorrow,

:05:54.:05:59.

watch out for some ice but that mist and fog will lift quickly. Tomorrow

:06:00.:06:05.

looking like a cloudy day, temperatures reaching a maximum of

:06:06.:06:10.

eight Celsius with a light south-westerly breeze. Saturday, a

:06:11.:06:15.

similar story. Plenty of cloud around, largely dry but we could see

:06:16.:06:18.

rain through the night into Sunday. And that's your news and weather

:06:19.:06:20.

for the East Midlands. We're back with our breakfast

:06:21.:06:23.

bulletins from 6am. But for now, from all of us

:06:24.:06:25.

on the late team, goodnight. Hello. Fold and frost has been a

:06:26.:06:44.

feature of the weather in recent mornings in England and Wales,

:06:45.:06:47.

producing a wintry scene with Frost in Oxfordshire this morning. In

:06:48.:06:52.

Highland Scotland, a completely different story. Thank you to our

:06:53.:06:57.

weather watchers for the photos. Snow on the hills but temperatures

:06:58.:06:58.
