:00:22. > :00:27.Despite an inquest there, his family is now relying on an inquest here
:00:28. > :00:34.21-year-old Kona Gamble from Leicester died while on holiday
:00:35. > :00:39.in Ayia Napa in Cyprus with a group of friends in August 2013.

:00:48. > :00:53.12 times, 13 times it was adjourned, and it's just...
:00:54. > :00:58.It has been really hard, because you think about it every day.
:00:59. > :01:01.CCTV from his hotel passed to the Gamble family
:01:02. > :01:04.by the Leicester coroner shows Kona returning alone from
:01:05. > :01:13.The Gamble family lawyer in Cyprus told me the inquest found that Kona
:01:14. > :01:16.got onto the flat roof of the hotel and tried to jump onto his own
:01:17. > :01:21.balcony, where he was found badly injured at an air conditioning unit.
:01:22. > :01:24.But he said the judge raised questions about whether the hotel
:01:25. > :01:28.took all necessary measures to prevent guests
:01:29. > :01:34.The lawyer said the judge concluded that there was evidence
:01:35. > :01:41.Even though the hotel denies it, the police believe that he must
:01:42. > :01:44.have come through a door that was unlocked, and the judge
:01:45. > :01:47.accepted the police's view on the matter.
:01:48. > :01:49.Thomas Cook, which organised the holiday, said they were deeply
:01:50. > :01:53.saddened and were continuing to work closely on the highest standards
:01:54. > :01:58.The hotel said it was sorry for the family's loss,
:01:59. > :02:05.Many of Kona's organs were donated in Nicosia.
:02:06. > :02:07.One recipient thanked the family via social media.
:02:08. > :02:10.It was just great, just for one person, and maybe Kona helped
:02:11. > :02:14.eight or nine people, you know, that day, but for just one person
:02:15. > :02:21.Dorian Gamble has tattoos to remember Kona.
:02:22. > :02:23.A full inquest will now be held in Leicester,
:02:24. > :02:26.giving the family the chance to hear all of the evidence,

:02:39. > :02:43.Billy Monger, who's 17, has undergone surgery to remove

:02:58. > :03:00.just two days before the start of their season.
:03:01. > :03:02.It leaves a squad, including four England
:03:03. > :03:08.It's heartbreaking, and seeing your mates and people
:03:09. > :03:11.that you know you might not see again, that you've lived with
:03:12. > :03:14.for two or three years, yeah, it's really upsetting.
:03:15. > :03:17.That heartbreak was visible this morning as the players
:03:18. > :03:21.of the now-defunct club left Meadow Lane for the last time.
:03:22. > :03:24.Simply put, the Ladies had huge debts and were spending much more
:03:25. > :03:29.Now, Premier League sides' losses are outweighed
:03:30. > :03:34.But new Notts owner Alan Hardy said he couldn't take a nearly
:03:35. > :03:38.We get the situation in terms of that he didn't see it
:03:39. > :03:41.as a feasible kind of business, but to sit down and probably
:03:42. > :03:44.look at his numbers, which he probably has done
:03:45. > :03:47.on numerous times, and to now come to the conclusion two days before
:03:48. > :03:50.we kick off that he doesn't want to do it any more,
:03:51. > :03:53.So, yeah, we are all kind of left in a boat
:03:54. > :03:58.Well, the situation is, there is a legacy debt that I inherited
:03:59. > :04:04.And the ongoing costs are a ?500,000 a year loss.
:04:05. > :04:07.I've been very clear with my management team,
:04:08. > :04:10.we've had meetings almost on a weekly basis, and I've said,
:04:11. > :04:13.we've got to drive these costs down, got to get the overheads down.
:04:14. > :04:16.If we can get the overheads down to ?200,000 a year loss,
:04:17. > :04:19.But at ?500,000, it just wasn't viable.
:04:20. > :04:22.This, remember, was a club that went to the FA Cup final
:04:23. > :04:27.Some players were so angry, they found it better not to speak
:04:28. > :04:29.today, but this evening, Alan Hardy also promised them
:04:30. > :04:32.that no-one would be evicted from any homes.
:04:33. > :04:38.A crematorium is raising thousands of pounds for charity by recycling
:04:39. > :04:44.Much of the money from Gilroes Crematorium is going
:04:45. > :04:52.From steel hip and knee joints, to coffin screws -
:04:53. > :04:56.this is what's recovered from crematorium ashes.
:04:57. > :04:59.This metal has been collected at Gilroes in Leicester
:05:00. > :05:06.It will be smelted, refined and sold.
:05:07. > :05:09.We have been cremating at Gilroes for 115 years now,
:05:10. > :05:12.which has produced an awful lot of metal, and in the past,
:05:13. > :05:14.that metal would have been buried somewhere
:05:15. > :05:18.As environmental awareness has improved, people are more concerned
:05:19. > :05:22.about the environmental impact of cremation, environmental
:05:23. > :05:25.legislation has changed, that has led us to look
:05:26. > :05:31.Gilroes is part of a national scheme to recycle metal like this,

:05:37. > :05:46.Around 2500 cremations are carried out here at Gilroes every year,
:05:47. > :05:49.raising thousands of pounds for its chosen charity,
:05:50. > :05:55.The scheme is a really ingenious scheme, I think.
:05:56. > :05:58.It is a way of turning what is a very sad,
:05:59. > :06:02.tragic in many cases, time for families into one that
:06:03. > :06:08.As well as raising money for children, the material will be
:06:09. > :06:12.used to manufacture modern orthopaedic implants or turned
:06:13. > :06:16.into a raft of products, giving new life to the metals

:06:25. > :06:26.Mel Coles and I will have your update tomorrow,
:06:27. > :06:40.Not looking too bad, high pressure is in charge. So it is a largely
:06:41. > :06:44.settled weekend. There is one of two spots of rain to look out for as we
:06:45. > :06:49.move through tonight. That cold front is sinking slowly South. But
:06:50. > :06:53.not too much in the way of significant rainfall. A largely
:06:54. > :06:57.cloudy night. A few outbreaks of patchy rain as we move through
:06:58. > :07:03.tonight. Temperatures falling to around seven or eight Celsius. The
:07:04. > :07:07.cloud not letting the temperatures for the way too far. A cloudy sky
:07:08. > :07:11.tomorrow, the cloud could be thick enough to produce some rain but most
:07:12. > :07:17.of us seeing a largely dry day. Bright intervals and sunny spells as
:07:18. > :07:20.we move into the afternoon. Temperatures reaching a maximum of
:07:21. > :07:26.13 Celsius with light winds. A chilly start on Sunday, the chance
:07:27. > :07:29.of seeing a touch of frost in the countryside, but some sunny spells
:07:30. > :07:31.developing in the afternoon. I will leave you with the other. A fairly
:07:32. > :07:34.settled marathon. Here is the outlook for
:07:35. > :07:36.the weather for the next few days and Helen Willetts has the National
:07:37. > :07:49.forecast. While unusual to see snow in May, it
:07:50. > :07:53.will be a shock to the system. We've seen some interesting contrast. 19
:07:54. > :07:58.degrees cost is in Scotland in the sunshine today. In the sunshine only
:07:59. > :08:03.11. The differences we are behind a cold weather front. Seeing a stepped
:08:04. > :08:09.down in temperatures. The cold air filtering sound so there will be a
:08:10. > :08:12.widespread ground frost across the country. The week weather front
:08:13. > :08:18.still with us so we could cheat patchy mist and fog. The best chance
:08:19. > :08:22.of seeing the meteor shower overnight will be in those clear
:08:23. > :08:26.skies further north. A better chance for south overnight. We start
