:01:01. > :01:05.convicted for their part in the killing of a schoolboy from Milton
:01:05. > :01:11.Keynes. The jury in Northampton was told it was a case of mistaken
:01:11. > :01:14.identity. 16 year old Adil Basharat was beaten and stabbed outside the
:01:14. > :01:18.school gates in November. His attackers believed he had stolen
:01:18. > :01:23.drugs belonging to them. They were wrong. Today, the man who stabbed

:01:55. > :01:59.break with friends. He was targeted for revenge but he was the wrong
:01:59. > :02:04.person. Today, his family were distraught.
:02:04. > :02:10.He must have been so frightened. I always think, they did he know this
:02:10. > :02:16.was it? Did he know he was not going to make it?
:02:17. > :02:21.Today, this man was sentenced to life for murder. Three others
:02:21. > :02:23.received three years for violent disorder. The men are believed Adil
:02:23. > :02:27.Basharat had mocked their friend and taken his drugs, they were
:02:27. > :02:32.wrong. Adil Basharat was a blameless young
:02:32. > :02:36.man whose life was taken as a result of unlawful violence. Today,
:02:36. > :02:41.I am pleased with the sentences that have been handed down to the
:02:41. > :02:46.men who were involved in his death. It is perhaps a mark of the respect
:02:46. > :02:56.that he was held in, that so many young witnesses were on wavering in

:02:58. > :03:07.their commitment. The judge told them, they golf club

:03:36. > :03:41.at her home in Milton Keynes now. What do you think of young men who
:03:41. > :03:45.have done this? I think it is so cruel, I do not understand how
:03:45. > :03:49.anyone is capable of doing what these four men have done. They have
:03:49. > :03:58.gone to a School to attack a 16- year-old with weapons, it is
:03:58. > :04:07.disgusting. What do you think of the sentences? As a family, we are
:04:07. > :04:12.all quite disappointed. I am surprised as to the fact that three
:04:12. > :04:18.of them only got violent disorder. With all due respect to the jury,
:04:18. > :04:22.it is a hard decision to make. But we are disappointed. Tell me about
:04:22. > :04:29.your brother. I know that you shed a text with him just an hour before
:04:30. > :04:37.this happened. Tell me about him. We had a close bond. He was like my
:04:37. > :04:41.best friend. Because they were so close in age, as well. I used to
:04:41. > :04:46.come back from university. Every Friday we would spend time together.
:04:46. > :04:49.An hour before he was attacked, he sent me a message. It said, that he
:04:49. > :04:54.could not wait to see me, we were discussing what he would do for the
:04:54. > :05:01.evening. When something like this happens, it must have a devastating
:05:01. > :05:04.effect on the family. How has it... I heard you saying earlier you were
:05:04. > :05:12.awake all last night. Tell me how you have coped with what has been
:05:12. > :05:17.going on. I could not tell you because they do not know. When it
:05:17. > :05:24.first happened, I did not think I would ever sleep or eat again. You
:05:24. > :05:28.just have to do the bare minimum that will keep you going. As a
:05:28. > :05:32.family we are shattered. We have lost all motivation in life. We can
:05:33. > :05:38.barely do anything, we do not want to do anything. We have no
:05:38. > :05:43.happiness. We try to be happy, we try to feel a bit of happiness but
:05:43. > :05:52.we just can not do it. We are barely coping, to be honest. Does
:05:52. > :05:57.today hope it -- help in any way? Added not think it would, there is

:23:38. > :23:45.Literally, the first time I flew a plane, I just felt as if there was
:23:45. > :23:52.electricity going through me. The words, freedom in the air, came to
:23:52. > :24:02.mind. Why do not you go ahead and try a climbing, to the right? Were

:24:02. > :24:07.O! -- woah! I think it is just the feeling,
:24:07. > :24:11.they realise, I am actually doing this and it is not that difficult.
:24:11. > :24:20.They are free to turn to be left and the right, I think it is a nice
:24:20. > :24:27.sense of freedom. Not bad! What was it like? I like
:24:27. > :24:31.it. I five. What was it like to fly? It was brilliant.
:24:31. > :24:38.For James, this was just a taster, but freedom in the air have just
:24:38. > :24:44.offered a scholarship, proving the sky really is the limit.
:24:44. > :24:47.What a fabulous story. He looked very smart in his hat as well. And
:24:47. > :24:56.the pilot said it was not even difficult! Super.
:24:56. > :25:00.A changeable week. We have low pressure over the east coast of
:25:00. > :25:06.Scotland, right now. You can see this weather front here, bringing
:25:06. > :25:11.heavy showers into North Norfolk. If you follow the isobars back,
:25:11. > :25:15.there is a northerly flow of air, keeping temperatures held back as
:25:15. > :25:19.it is quite cool air. We also have high pressure to the south-west,
:25:19. > :25:23.that brings the promise of a fine day tomorrow, but lurking up over
:25:23. > :25:26.the Atlantic is another weather system likely to bring some rain
:25:26. > :25:30.away. That will happen later in the day on Wednesday and into Thursday.
:25:30. > :25:35.That sets the scene for the week. Here is our satellite chart,
:25:35. > :25:40.thicker cloud is really where the showers are. You will see them on
:25:40. > :25:48.the radar. They are affecting parts of North and North East Norfolk.
:25:48. > :25:52.The rest of the region stays dry and perhaps even bright and so --
:25:52. > :25:57.sunny. The showers could linger around that North East corner
:25:57. > :26:00.overnight. The rest of us will stay dry. A little patchy cloud at times,
:26:00. > :26:05.also some clear spells. Under those clear skies, we will see
:26:05. > :26:09.temperatures dropping to nine degrees Celsius. It has been a
:26:09. > :26:15.breezy day, with a moderate to fresh north-westerly wind. That
:26:15. > :26:24.wind will start to ease this evening under the night. --
:26:24. > :26:28.overnight. Tomorrow, we could see a few showers first thing in the
:26:28. > :26:32.morning. It is not out of the question that we might get one
:26:32. > :26:36.later in the day, as well. As you can see, a fair bit of cloud around
:26:36. > :26:45.as we head for the afternoon. It will turn the sunshine a bit hazy.
:26:46. > :26:50.Temperatures will be similar to what they got to today, 17 for the
:26:50. > :26:54.lowest. 20 at best. It will not be as breezy tomorrow but it will be
:26:54. > :26:59.fresher at times, perhaps around the North Norfolk coast. In the
:26:59. > :27:04.afternoon, it looks like it will stay dry. It will tend to turn a
:27:04. > :27:08.bit cloudier. But the rest of the week, we have is whether system
:27:08. > :27:12.coming in. It will bring humid air with it, as well as wet weather. It
:27:12. > :27:20.looks like it will arrive later in the day on Wednesday, into Thursday,
:27:20. > :27:23.bringing a damp day for Thursday. The bulk of Wednesday looks dry.
:27:23. > :27:29.Outbreaks of rain through Thursday, risk of showers on Friday,
:27:29. > :27:33.hopefully a dry start to the weekend. And those are our
