Good evening. with the late news at 10:20. | :00:07. | :00:07. | |
Detectives are looking for arsonists who deliberately destroyed | :00:08. | :00:10. | |
a fleet of vans belonging to a North Staffordshire business. | :00:11. | :00:13. | |
Staff are now working overtime to keep the company running. | :00:14. | :00:16. | |
Whoever it was, they came prepared, smashing the windows of three | :00:17. | :00:21. | |
delivery vans belonging to a joinery firm, tipping petrol | :00:22. | :00:24. | |
inside and setting a fire which destroyed them all. | :00:25. | :00:29. | |
For the owner, who set this business up nearly 30 years ago | :00:30. | :00:32. | |
on an industrial estate in Newcastle-Under-Lyme, | :00:33. | :00:35. | |
Obviously a massive shock to everybody. | :00:36. | :00:41. | |
You don't expect to come down at 3am to find all your wagons on fire. | :00:42. | :00:51. | |
Some have given up their Easter holidays to ensure orders | :00:52. | :00:55. | |
go out to customers in replacement vans tomorrow. | :00:56. | :00:59. | |
The vans were parked here at the back of the factory. | :01:00. | :01:02. | |
You can see the mess the heat has made of the tarmac. | :01:03. | :01:06. | |
Flames licked up the side of the building - | :01:07. | :01:08. | |
Eight weeks ago, an attempt was made to break into these vans. | :01:09. | :01:14. | |
There is a concern now that someone has got a vendetta. | :01:15. | :01:18. | |
It's either a personal thing, which I can't believe, | :01:19. | :01:22. | |
Or it's targeted against the company itself. | :01:23. | :01:30. | |
You're talking about people's jobs, mortgages, everything | :01:31. | :01:33. | |
It's not just a random thing that you can pass over. | :01:34. | :01:39. | |
Police are looking at CCTV footage from neighbouring firms. | :01:40. | :01:42. | |
The company says the malice of this attack won't stop | :01:43. | :01:46. | |
In the past hour, Birmingham City have announced Gianfranco Zola has | :01:47. | :01:54. | |
He won just two of his 22 league games in charge since replacing | :01:55. | :01:59. | |
Gary Rowett as Blues boss in December. | :02:00. | :02:02. | |
Today they were beaten 2-0 by Burton, leaving the club three | :02:03. | :02:05. | |
points off the relegation places in the Championship. | :02:06. | :02:10. | |
A minute's silence was held at a football match today in honour | :02:11. | :02:13. | |
of the Birmingham University student who was stabbed to death | :02:14. | :02:15. | |
20-year-old Hannah Bladon from Burton upon Trent | :02:16. | :02:20. | |
The club held a minute's silence ahead of kick-off | :02:21. | :02:24. | |
in this afternoon's match against Huddersfield Town. | :02:25. | :02:29. | |
Alternative accommodation has been found for all 24 elderly residents | :02:30. | :02:32. | |
of a care home which was damaged by fire on Saturday. | :02:33. | :02:36. | |
The fire at Standon House in Tamworth broke out yesterday. | :02:37. | :02:39. | |
It was caused by a discarded cigarette | :02:40. | :02:41. | |
Staffordshire County Council has confirmed places have now been found | :02:42. | :02:46. | |
for the seven residents who were taken to hospital | :02:47. | :02:48. | |
A jeweller has been commissioned to make replicas of the Leek-frith | :02:49. | :02:54. | |
gold, which was found buried in a field in | :02:55. | :02:57. | |
The family who own the land where the Iron Age artefacts | :02:58. | :03:02. | |
were discovered have asked a local silversmith to create exact copies. | :03:03. | :03:04. | |
Jacqueline Harold at her workshop in Leek, beginning work on replicas | :03:05. | :03:11. | |
She is recreating jewellery fashioned more than 2500 years ago. | :03:12. | :03:21. | |
The Leekfrith gold was unearthed in a field | :03:22. | :03:23. | |
and the landowners have commissioned the copies. | :03:24. | :03:27. | |
Before starting work, Jacqueline made | :03:28. | :03:29. | |
sketches of the jewellery while it was on display | :03:30. | :03:31. | |
It has been there buried for all that | :03:32. | :03:36. | |
length of time, and now I'm trying to recreate what was possibly done | :03:37. | :03:40. | |
not too far from where the studio is here in Leek. | :03:41. | :03:46. | |
The original bracelet and three torcs are some of the | :03:47. | :03:48. | |
earliest examples of Iron Age gold found in the UK. | :03:49. | :03:52. | |
From these sketches, you get a real sense of | :03:53. | :03:54. | |
It is thought they were originally made | :03:55. | :03:58. | |
Experts believe they would have been worn by | :03:59. | :04:02. | |
wealthy, powerful women, perhaps who had married into the community | :04:03. | :04:04. | |
Jacqueline will be using age-old techniques to make the replica. | :04:05. | :04:13. | |
It's a challenge to get it right, I suppose. | :04:14. | :04:15. | |
And to get the dimensions, because I have not got | :04:16. | :04:17. | |
But I suppose the way that it's made isn't dissimilar | :04:18. | :04:22. | |
The gold is currently being examined by experts and valued. | :04:23. | :04:29. | |
The replicas made by Jacqueline will themselves | :04:30. | :04:31. | |
be one-off pieces reflecting Staffordshire's heritage. | :04:32. | :04:39. | |
Onto football and in the Championship, a miserable | :04:40. | :04:41. | |
afternoon for Aston Villa, who were beaten 3-1 | :04:42. | :04:43. | |
Already a goal down, Villa were reduced to | :04:44. | :04:47. | |
Jonathan Kodjia seemingly kicking out at Ryan Fredericks. | :04:48. | :04:54. | |
The visitors rallied after half time - Jack Grealish | :04:55. | :04:56. | |
But goals from Aluko and Kebano earned Fulham the three points. | :04:57. | :05:01. | |
Onto the rest of the day's results now and in the Championship, | :05:02. | :05:04. | |
as you've gathered, Burton Albion won 2-0 at Birmingham City, | :05:05. | :05:07. | |
which finally led to Blues manager Gianfranco Zola's resignation, | :05:08. | :05:11. | |
In League One, Shrewsbury drew 1-1 at Northampton, | :05:12. | :05:17. | |
Already-relegated Coventry City lost 2-0 at Rochdale | :05:18. | :05:22. | |
Onto League Two, where Cheltenham beat Grimsby 2-1. | :05:23. | :05:31. | |
And in the National League, Solihull Moors won 3-1 | :05:32. | :05:33. | |
In the Women's FA Cup, congratulations to | :05:34. | :05:37. | |
Birmingham City Ladies, who are through to | :05:38. | :05:39. | |
In cricket, Warwickshire suffered a crushing defeat | :05:40. | :05:47. | |
at the hands of Yorkshire in their County Championship | :05:48. | :05:50. | |
The Bears lost by an innings and 88 runs. | :05:51. | :05:53. | |
They've played just two games so far and both times been beaten heavily. | :05:54. | :05:58. | |
Time for the weather - here's John Hammond. | :05:59. | :06:00. | |
I hope you've managed to see something in the way | :06:01. | :06:03. | |
There hasn't been a lot of it on offer, it's been rather cloudy | :06:04. | :06:07. | |
It's not going to get much warmer over the next 24 hours. | :06:08. | :06:11. | |
We've still got chilly air coming down from the North | :06:12. | :06:14. | |
A chilly night to come and there will be a few showers | :06:15. | :06:18. | |
A bit hit and miss, many of us will stay dry and by the end | :06:19. | :06:23. | |
of the night the skies will clear and temperatures will be falling. | :06:24. | :06:26. | |
A touch of frost is likely in some rural areas by around dawn. | :06:27. | :06:29. | |
A lot more sunshine around tomorrow compared with today. | :06:30. | :06:34. | |
It should be a fine day with fairly light winds, | :06:35. | :06:37. | |
but temperatures not rising all that far. | :06:38. | :06:38. | |
It's going to be another cool one, just about into double figures. | :06:39. | :06:43. | |
As the sun sets, it will turn particularly cold. | :06:44. | :06:45. | |
Expecting quite a sharp frost first thing on Wednesday morning. | :06:46. | :06:48. | |
That will disappear and we'll see some fine weather | :06:49. | :06:51. | |
But gradually it will start to turn cloudy as well. | :06:52. | :06:56. | |
Cloud beginning to come in from the North, but I think it | :06:57. | :07:01. | |
will stay fine, especially the further south you go | :07:02. | :07:03. | |
Gradually turning cloudy as we head into Thursday as well | :07:04. | :07:08. | |
with temperatures beginning to rise as well. | :07:09. | :07:10. | |
That's it from me - have a great evening. | :07:11. | :07:13. | |
We'll be back with the late news at 10.20pm. | :07:14. | :07:19. | |
From everyone here, enjoy the rest of your bank holiday. | :07:20. | :07:41. | |
Hopefully you managed to enjoy some good weather this Easter. It has not | :07:42. | :07:48. | |
been ideal but it has not been that bad. Pretty cold tonight. Sharp | :07:49. | :07:53. | |
frost on the way in role areas and across northern parts. The skies are | :07:54. | :07:56. | |
not clear just yet but they are starting to clear. By the end of the | :07:57. | :08:07. | |
night, those temperatures will tumble across Scotland, maybe as low | :08:08. | :08:14. | |
minus eight. No surprise this time of the year. We do get frost, but | :08:15. | :08:18. | |
this could be even damaging. Tomorrow morning, it is looking | :08:19. | :08:24. | |
sunny for most of us but the wind is light in the sun will be out. A | :08:25. | :08:28. | |
beautiful day on the way. Later | :08:29. | :08:29. |
