It's going to be a cold and clear night in Shropshire, with temperatures dropping below freezing.

A new boat will be launched at the weekend by a rescue service, and it will be named after a crew member who died.

Stuart Frost, who was one of the volunteers who help run Severn Area Rescue Association, external (SARA), lost his life in a road accident last year.

SARA is an inshore rescue boat and land search organisation covering the Severn Estuary and the surrounding area.

A driver who fell asleep at the wheel and crashed into Mr Frost's car, killing him and injuring his fiancee, was jailed for two years and nine months and banned from driving for five years in November.

Telford Tigers say they will fight a decision by the English Premier League to exclude them from the end-of-season playoffs.

Representatives of eight other teams in the league met earlier in the week and voted to ban both the Tigers and Manchester Phoenix as a punishment for going into liquidation last year.

They also voted to introduce points penalty for teams which enter administration or liquidation in the future.

The Tigers say the decision is "unlawful and discriminatory" and they plan to meet league officials in the hope of getting the ban withdrawn.

The council gritting lorries are going out again tonight, with temperatures forecast to drop below freezing.

Recruitment days are going to be held in Shrewsbury, aimed at finding more nurses.

On 28 January the Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital Trust wants to meet nurses interested in working in their emergency care departments and on 11 February it wants to find people who want to work in scheduled care, which includes operating theatres.

The NHS trust says it's a chance to take a look around and if the aspiring nurses pass an assessment and an interview, they could walk away with a conditional job offer.

A meeting has been held this afternoon to discuss the pollution in the River Morda.

Shropshire Council says the meeting involved experts from around the country.

Investigations are being carried out what caused the pollution and thousands of fish are believed to have died.

There is an "urgent need" for new trains on Wales' rail network, according to a committee of MPs.

The Welsh Affairs Committee said people were tired of "old and cramped" trains provided by Arriva Trains Wales.

The MPs' report, external says many problems were due to "a huge failure" to allow for more passengers when the current 15-year franchise was awarded in 2003.

Power to decide who runs the next Wales and Borders franchise from 2018 is due to be transferred to Welsh ministers.

Telford Tigers face big games in the league and the cup this weekend.
