Delirious fans celebrate as the club - written off

:00:15.:00:16.

It's a dream! A dream come true! Amazing! It is epic! Speechless!

:00:17.:00:28.

Amazing! We'll be looking at how Leicester

of recent intense fighting. Leicester City are tonight champions

:00:51.:01:16.

of the Premier League in one of the most extraordinary stories

:01:17.:01:19.

in the history of the game. Written off at the beginning

:01:20.:01:21.

of the season, the club defied the critics and upset huge odds

:01:22.:01:23.

to clinch the title And they did so without even kicking

:01:24.:01:27.

a ball, after their nearest rivals, Spurs, failed to win

:01:28.:01:31.

against Chelsea. For a second day in a row,

:01:32.:01:34.

fans packed into pubs and bars across the city of Leicester to see

:01:35.:01:38.

if the fairytale would come true. Our sports editor,

:01:39.:01:43.

Dan Roan, is outside This is what it means for Leicester

:01:44.:01:57.

City to become the new, the least likely and probably the most popular

:01:58.:02:01.

Premier League Champions there has ever been. Thousands of fans have

:02:02.:02:05.

flooded out on to the streets of the city, many of them, as you can

:02:11.:02:12.

Stadium, where, at the weekend, they will be presented with the Premier

:02:13.:02:18.

League Trophy. Let's not forget, they were 5,000-1, rank outsiders to

:02:19.:02:22.

win this league before the season began. They have done it. They have

:02:23.:02:28.

turned the football, no, the sport's world upside-down, fairy tale

:02:29.:02:30.

complete, they are the new champions. Yes, the new champions of

:02:31.:02:34.

the Premier League. Here is the story of the night.

:02:35.:02:39.

The final chapter in sport's greatest story.

:02:40.:02:42.

This, what it means to the city of Leicester tonight

:02:43.:02:45.

to see their team become the new and most unlikely

:02:46.:02:47.

Premier League Champions there's ever been.

:02:48.:02:51.

This afternoon, mastermind Claudio Ranieri had

:02:52.:02:54.

rearranged his travel plans, the manager flying back early

:02:55.:02:57.

from a day trip to Rome to watch the decisive

:02:58.:03:00.

His players choosing to view the game together at the home

:03:01.:03:04.

Leicester knew that if Spurs failed to beat Chelsea,

:03:05.:03:11.

The early signs were good, Cesc Fabregas going

:03:12.:03:15.

But then the viewing became painful for Leicester's followers watching

:03:16.:03:21.

in pubs around the city, Spurs taking the lead.

:03:22.:03:25.

Spurs intent on keeping the title race alive.

:03:26.:03:31.

TV cameras picking up this from Moussa Dembele,

:03:32.:03:36.

But the second half belonged to Chelsea.

:03:37.:03:43.

Gary Cahill pulling one back and then the equaliser.

:03:44.:03:49.

This, the moment Leicester's unlikely dream

:03:50.:03:58.

For those who have followed them for years,

:03:59.:04:03.

It's insane! It is epic! Speechless! Champions of England!

:04:04.:04:25.

Leicester City's achievement arguably surpasses

:04:26.:04:27.

sport's other great triumphs in defiance of the odds.

:04:28.:04:30.

Goran Ivanisevic was a 250-1 wildcard when he won

:04:31.:04:33.

Wimbledon, while unheralded golfer Ben Curtis was a rank 300-1 outsider

:04:34.:04:35.

Brian Clough's Nottingham Forest team won

:04:36.:04:43.

the league, the season after being promoted and then successive

:04:44.:04:46.

European Cups and a member of that legendary side sees parallels.

:04:47.:04:49.

Leicester City have done absolutely magnificently this season.

:04:50.:04:54.

I would say in football, it's probably the biggest

:04:55.:05:01.

story since Nottingham Forest in 1977/78.

:05:02.:05:06.

And so the ultimate underdogs come out on top.

:05:07.:05:10.

Proof that in sport anything is possible.

:05:11.:05:18.

So resolute, so consistent have Leicester City been, it is easy to

:05:19.:05:24.

forget what a big sporting shock this is. Let's not forget that

:05:25.:05:28.

Leicester City, at the start of the season, were favourites to be

:05:29.:05:31.

relegated. Their squad cost a fraction of their richer rivals,

:05:32.:05:35.

some of the wealthiest clubs in the world. Their manager, Claudio

:05:36.:05:38.

Ranieri, had a reputation for being the nearly man of football. No

:05:39.:05:44.

longer, here is Andy Swiss trying to make sense of how Leicester did it.

:05:45.:05:48.

It is a story straight out of a comic book,

:05:49.:05:50.

of a team staring at relegation barely a year ago, who turned

:05:51.:05:52.

So how do you explain the seemingly inexplicable?

:05:53.:05:57.

Leicester found stars where others barely looked.

:05:58.:06:04.

Jamie Vardy, from lowly Fleetwood Town.

:06:05.:06:07.

Riyad Mahrez, from the French Second Division.

:06:08.:06:10.

COMMENTARY: Leicester are proving what a team they are!

:06:11.:06:13.

Their entire first 11 cost just ?23 million.

:06:14.:06:17.

In Premier League terms, little more than loose change.

:06:18.:06:21.

Recruitment is the hardest thing in football.

:06:22.:06:23.

Leicester have been magnificent at that.

:06:24.:06:25.

Vardy, in non-league football not so long ago.

:06:26.:06:28.

There is a lot of those players in that team that have been

:06:29.:06:33.

To go with those unlikely stars, an unlikely star manager.

:06:34.:06:39.

When he arrived last summer, Claudio Ranieri had just been

:06:40.:06:41.

And at first, his new team struggled defensively.

:06:42.:06:47.

So the Italian gave them a very Italian incentive.

:06:48.:06:51.

I said, when we make clean sheet, I pay to everybody a pizza.

:06:52.:06:55.

Sure enough, when that clean sheet arrived,

:06:56.:06:58.

he treated them to a pizza class and, in the process,

:06:59.:07:01.

That pizza-making session in this very room proved a turning point

:07:02.:07:08.

Their leaky defence became the tightest in the league,

:07:09.:07:14.

but it also summed up the spirit and the unity which their manager

:07:15.:07:17.

I don't think too many managers do that, but not only that,

:07:18.:07:25.

he talks to all the players, we are having fun with each other.

:07:26.:07:28.

But, at the same time, we can switch around and be very

:07:29.:07:32.

focussed, be very concentrated on what we need to do.

:07:33.:07:35.

But, for all their talent, their timing has been key.

:07:36.:07:39.

This was a rare season when Chelsea, Manchester City, Manchester United

:07:40.:07:42.

Leicester have also been fortunate with injuries,

:07:43.:07:48.

using just 23 players - fewer than anyone else.

:07:49.:07:52.

The underperforming big clubs have helped Leicester and they have

:07:53.:07:55.

It wouldn't surprise me if, next season, Leicester

:07:56.:07:59.

I think this is a one season wonder, which will never happen again.

:08:00.:08:08.

Indeed, this is ultimately fantasy football.

:08:09.:08:10.

The impossible dream that's become a glorious reality.

:08:11.:08:17.

These are some of the most jubilant scenes of celebration that the

:08:18.:08:29.

Premier League has ever witnessed. It is not just the fans who are

:08:30.:08:34.

celebrating, Leicester City's squad too, they gathered at the house of

:08:35.:08:39.

Jamie Vardy, and this is what it meant to them when they knew that

:08:40.:08:44.

they were, each and every one of them, Premier League Champions. Many

:08:45.:08:48.

of those players have never experienced anything quite like that

:08:49.:08:52.

before. This is a victory, a triumph that has resonated across the world

:08:53.:08:57.

of sport, not just here, but across the globe. Leicester City's players

:08:58.:09:01.

can look forward to Champions League football next season in Europe. It

:09:02.:09:05.

truly is a victory, the like of which modern sport, where money

:09:06.:09:09.

rules, wasn't meant to produce anymore, but it's a victory that has

:09:10.:09:12.

put the smile back on the face of sport, too. Dan Roan, thank you.

:09:13.:09:16.

Scientists say a new study has given them a near-perfect picture

:09:17.:09:19.

of the genetic mutations that cause breast cancer.

:09:20.:09:22.

The study, in the journal Nature, has been described

:09:23.:09:24.

It's hoped the analysis could help unlock new ways of treating

:09:25.:09:29.

Here's our health correspondent, Dominic Hughes.

:09:30.:09:37.

Enjoying a spot of Bank Holiday Monday gardening, Vanessa Babbage

:09:38.:09:40.

But Vanessa has fought a long, arduous battle

:09:41.:09:44.

After extensive surgery, chemo and radiotherapy, she

:09:45.:09:49.

knows how devastating the disease and its treatment can be.

:09:50.:09:53.

It's actually worse than the cancer itself,

:09:54.:10:00.

because you are constantly ill, so they do try to help you to

:10:01.:10:05.

minimise the side-effects by giving you other drugs to help the nausea

:10:06.:10:07.

and things like that, so the treatment is very, very harsh.

:10:08.:10:15.

Scanners like this one are used to detect and monitor cancerous tumours

:10:16.:10:18.

once they've already developed, but to understand the underlying

:10:19.:10:22.

causes of cancer, scientists have had to go much deeper,

:10:23.:10:25.

to the level of DNA, to try and work out what happens

:10:26.:10:28.

An international team of scientists, led by the Sanger Institute

:10:29.:10:36.

in Cambridge, examined all 3 billion letters in the genetic code of every

:10:37.:10:40.

What they've found has transformed the understanding of what happens

:10:41.:10:47.

Getting a comprehensive collection of information, including the

:10:48.:10:55.

mutations that are causing cancer, tells us something about why that

:10:56.:10:59.

cancer is going wrong, why that cell is turning

:11:00.:11:02.

into a cancerous cell, and if you can understand that,

:11:03.:11:05.

you can understand the causes of the cancer, and then you can

:11:06.:11:08.

This opens up the possibility of much greater individualised

:11:09.:11:14.

treatments for cancer, targeting each of the mutations.

:11:15.:11:17.

That's already happening with some treatments, like the drug

:11:18.:11:20.

Herceptin, but experts believe this could be a big step forward.

:11:21.:11:24.

What this study might achieve is finding

:11:25.:11:26.

better treatments, matching them better to women.

:11:27.:11:28.

By understanding the causes that underline the biology

:11:29.:11:33.

of different types of the disease, we might be able to match better

:11:34.:11:36.

treatments and offer them things that are more likely to work for

:11:37.:11:38.

Back at home, Vanessa Babbage is moving on with her life after

:11:39.:11:44.

cancer, and she is optimistic that science is starting to make real

:11:45.:11:46.

headway in the fight against the disease.

:11:47.:11:50.

It gives people hope, because when people are affected

:11:51.:11:54.

by someone that they love and they have breast cancer,

:11:55.:11:58.

they hope for a better future for other women that are going to be

:11:59.:12:01.

This research has transformed the understanding of cancer,

:12:02.:12:07.

and offers the tantalising prospect it could prevent the disease

:12:08.:12:10.

In talks in Geneva to try to save the ceasefire in Syria,

:12:11.:12:18.

the US Secretary of State, John Kerry, said foreign powers

:12:19.:12:21.

were "getting closer to a place of understanding."

:12:22.:12:24.

There's been a two-month pause in hostilities in the country,

:12:25.:12:27.

but the last ten days have seen an upsurge in violence.

:12:28.:12:30.

Mr Kerry said a renewed ceasefire must include the besieged city

:12:31.:12:34.

of Aleppo, where more than 250 civilians have died in recent days.

:12:35.:12:39.

This is the moment to try to make certain that what everybody

:12:40.:12:42.

has signed up to is, in fact, being delivered,

:12:43.:12:46.

being lived up to, without hypocrisy and without variation.

:12:47.:12:52.

And that's what we're working for and I'm hopeful that,

:12:53.:12:55.

over the course of the next day or so, greater clarity will be

:12:56.:13:00.

available as to exactly what progress has been made.

:13:01.:13:07.

A 36-year-old man has been shot dead during an operation

:13:08.:13:09.

Officers were called to a property near Maidstone last night

:13:10.:13:14.

as part of an inquiry into the murder of Roy Blackman,

:13:15.:13:17.

who was beaten to death during a burglary at his

:13:18.:13:19.

The Independent Police Complaints Commission is now investigating.

:13:20.:13:33.

This Thursday voters across most of England and Wales will be able go

:13:34.:13:35.

to the polls to elect their Police and Crime Commissioners.

:13:36.:13:38.

PCCs were introduced in 2012, with the aim of making police

:13:39.:13:40.

forces accountable and more responsive to public needs.

:13:41.:13:41.

But voting then suggested widespread apathy for the new role.

:13:42.:13:44.

Our home editor, Mark Easton, reports from the campaign trail

:13:45.:13:46.

32 million people get the chance to vote for their Police and Crime

:13:47.:13:52.

Commissioner in England and Wales on Thursday.

:13:53.:13:56.

Here in Northamptonshire, three candidates are up for

:13:57.:13:57.

The first thing I'll do is reduce the cost

:13:58.:14:06.

of the office of Police and Crime Commissioner.

:14:07.:14:08.

Local people should help decide where police resources are

:14:09.:14:11.

The idea behind PCCs is the elected commissioner would be

:14:12.:14:17.

impartial, setting police priorities for all the people, whatever their

:14:18.:14:20.

But there are concerns that candidates should

:14:21.:14:26.

Of the 188 PCC candidates across England and

:14:27.:14:31.

Turn-out last time was a miserable 15%, a little higher in

:14:32.:14:46.

But hopes that the public would start to

:14:47.:14:49.

embrace this new elected official with the power

:14:50.:14:52.

to hire and fire the

:14:53.:14:54.

Chief Constable, well let's say this election could be seen as a

:14:55.:14:57.

To be honest, I don't really know what's going on.

:14:58.:15:11.

Do you think people are excited about it?

:15:12.:15:13.

I don't think they are excited about it at all.

:15:14.:15:16.

Their previous PCC, Tory Adam Simmonds, is standing

:15:17.:15:22.

Praised by the Home Secretary for helping cut crime, he was

:15:23.:15:26.

criticised locally for increasing his office budget while the police

:15:27.:15:29.

I spent 30 years in business from a technology point

:15:30.:15:39.

of view, so I want to see body-worn video

:15:40.:15:42.

cameras, the latest technology - that will make the difference.

:15:43.:15:46.

We have lost over 105 police officers in

:15:47.:15:48.

Northamptonshire since 2010 and at the same time

:15:49.:15:52.

crime has doubled over the

:15:53.:15:53.

past two years, so we need a better policing presence on our streets.

:15:54.:15:59.

We have seen over the years that the established political

:16:00.:16:01.

parties have failed to address the problems of

:16:02.:16:03.

Ukip is the party to change that, and so am I.

:16:04.:16:08.

Turnout is likely to be higher this time than last

:16:09.:16:11.

PCC elections coincide with council elections.

:16:12.:16:15.

But whatever the local situation, there seems there is

:16:16.:16:19.

plenty of scope for increasing public enthusiasm.
