:00:00. > :00:11.And that is all from us for this evening. Now on BBC
:00:12. > :00:20.Good evening. A gang that raped and sexually assaulted five vulnerable
:00:21. > :00:25.girls in Peterborough have been jailed at the Old Bailey. The girls,
:00:26. > :00:29.aged just 13 and 14, underwent horrific sexual abuse. These are the
:00:30. > :00:31.faces of the gang responsible. We can't show you the face of the
:00:32. > :00:34.youngest gang member because he s youngest gang member because he's
:00:35. > :00:38.just 14. This report from Louise Hubball.
:00:39. > :00:41.The Crown Prosecution Service described it as one of the worst
:00:42. > :00:46.cases of child sex abuse it had ever seen. And it happened here in
:00:47. > :00:52.Peterboro, where five vulnerable young girls were groomed and
:00:53. > :00:54.abused. This is one of the rapists, claiming, in his police interview,
:00:55. > :01:13.that he is still a virgin. But in reality, he was the boss of
:01:14. > :01:19.the gang. He sold a 13`year`old girl with severe learning difficulties
:01:20. > :01:23.for ?20 a time. In this public park, she was tied to a playhouse bench
:01:24. > :01:30.and abused by groups of men and boys. 32`year`old man was the oldest
:01:31. > :01:31.member of the gang, and during police questioning, speaking through
:01:32. > :02:02.a translator, he denied everything. There were other members. For the
:02:03. > :02:09.first time, we can reveal the 18 and 17`year`olds. The fifth boy is just
:02:10. > :02:12.14 years old. Back at the beginning of 2013, we topped with police
:02:13. > :02:17.officers from our community, social workers, and we said give us a list
:02:18. > :02:21.of young people who might be vulnerable to exploitation. We have
:02:22. > :02:26.taught the young people, we have said, you might want to speak to us
:02:27. > :02:29.today or in a few weeks or months, but what we want to do is share your
:02:30. > :02:36.experiences, what you have heard, seen, experienced, and let us take
:02:37. > :02:38.that. The police praised the bravery of the young girls who came
:02:39. > :02:46.forward. To protect her identity, this girl's words are spoken by an
:02:47. > :02:50.actor. After I left court, I thought the boys were going to get out and
:02:51. > :02:55.get me. I am still frightened they will kill me if they get out. In the
:02:56. > :03:00.future if I have a boyfriend with a child, it will be very hard to live
:03:01. > :03:05.with someone. This will be in my heart and head. The girls deserve
:03:06. > :03:06.the best support for the future. heart and head. The girls deserve
:03:07. > :03:09.the best support for the future We the best support for the future We
:03:10. > :03:12.will be with them on the journey to recovery step`by`step and ensure
:03:13. > :03:16.they can recover in the best way they can. But they have been through
:03:17. > :03:21.a lot, you heard today, but we're there with them and they deserve the
:03:22. > :03:33.best. The judge told four of the men they had brought discredit. One of
:03:34. > :03:37.them said he had betrayed his debt to his country `` to this country.
:03:38. > :03:39.And on BBC Radio Cambridgeshire s Breakfast Show they'll be asking:
:03:40. > :03:43.Should we regard sex offenders themselves as victims? That's
:03:44. > :03:46.tomorrow at 6am. Four teenagers have gone on trial
:03:47. > :03:49.today accused of murdering a pensioner. Luton Crown Court heard
:03:50. > :03:52.how 65`year`old Sharif Demirsay was held down and stabbed 11 times while
:03:53. > :03:59.his home in Kempston was burgled last May. All four defendants deny
:04:00. > :04:02.murder. The trial is expected to last six weeks.
:04:03. > :04:04.Medical trials to treat prostate cancer at Bedford Hospital are
:04:05. > :04:10.attracting international recognition. The trials focus on
:04:11. > :04:14.diet and food supplements. Prostate cancer is the most common form of
:04:15. > :04:19.cancer for men, with more than 40,000 diagnosed every year in the
:04:20. > :04:24.UK. Just over 80% survive for five years or more. But more than 10,000
:04:25. > :04:32.men die of the disease every year. Stuart Ratcliffe reports.
:04:33. > :04:36.We all know that healthy eating is important, and that a good diet can
:04:37. > :04:40.reduce and even prevent some diseases. But the research being
:04:41. > :04:45.carried out at Bedford Hospital seems to suggest that concentrated
:04:46. > :04:50.solutions are things such as broccoli, or even green tea, and
:04:51. > :04:57.they could help in the fight against prostate cancer. This is an MRI
:04:58. > :05:02.image of a prostate gland. You can see the tumour within it. Doctors
:05:03. > :05:08.have been looking at the effect these foods have on a patient's PSA.
:05:09. > :05:14.The higher this reading, the more likely it is that a man has prostate
:05:15. > :05:18.cancer. They have all been shown in laboratory studies already to have
:05:19. > :05:21.anti`cancer properties, either by reducing the growth rate of cancer
:05:22. > :05:26.cells or stopping them spreading, or making them die when they ought to.
:05:27. > :05:31.So the basic science is already there. What hasn't been proven is if
:05:32. > :05:35.you combine them, would there be a clinical effect in humans? That is
:05:36. > :05:40.what we set out to achieve with this study. This man was diagnosed with
:05:41. > :05:44.prostate cancer over three years ago, he is one of the patients who
:05:45. > :05:52.has taken part in this trial, and he has seen his PSA reading dropped by
:05:53. > :05:55.40%. Initially I was having urine and the tract problems, bladder
:05:56. > :06:02.problems. I know do not have any of those problems. I do not have to get
:06:03. > :06:07.up in tonight, people who have got enlarged prostate will know what I
:06:08. > :06:10.am talking about. I can go out and have a few pints of beer and not
:06:11. > :06:16.worry that I'm going to be up three times in tonight. The findings of
:06:17. > :06:21.this research are attracting worldwide attention is.
:06:22. > :06:26.Huntingdon Gymnastic Club celebrated the opening of its new extension
:06:27. > :06:29.today. It cost almost ?1.5 million and was officially unveiled by the
:06:30. > :06:33.former Prime Minister and Huntingdon MP Sir John Major, the patron of
:06:34. > :06:36.British Gymnastics. Olympic medallist Louis Smith impressed the
:06:37. > :06:39.crowds performing his London 20 2 routine.
:06:40. > :06:41.That's all from Look East but let's finish with the weather and Alex
:06:42. > :06:48.Dolan. finish with the weather and Alex
:06:49. > :06:51.Good evening. The last of any showers have cleared away eastwards,
:06:52. > :06:55.and the rest of the night looks largely dry and quite chilly. With
:06:56. > :07:00.those winds easing off, temperatures could get close to freezing, ringing
:07:01. > :07:04.the risk of a touch of frost. It's a chilly start the day tomorrow, but
:07:05. > :07:07.not a bad day. It will feel cooler and fresher, but there will be a
:07:08. > :07:10.good deal of sunshine through the morning. More cloud for the
:07:11. > :07:14.afternoon might produce an isolated shower, but for many of us it will
:07:15. > :07:18.be dry, highs of eight or nine Celsius. Quite a brisk breeze coming
:07:19. > :07:23.from the south`west, making it feel quite chilly. In a moment, the
:07:24. > :07:29.National forecast, but I will leave you with words about the weekend as
:07:30. > :07:31.Saturday looks like the best of the two days. The winds pick up a bit
:07:32. > :07:32.more for Sunday, the outlook. On Sunday, we have grey
:07:33. > :07:44.skies and a bit of drizzle, too. Good evening. You may have had the
:07:45. > :07:49.latest from the Met Office about the rainfall we have had this winter,
:07:50. > :07:53.the wettest winter on record. It is sometimes difficult to visualise the
:07:54. > :07:57.numbers. Let me explain how much rain we had. If you think about a
:07:58. > :08:03.stretch of land across the UK, we had about half a metre of rainfall
:08:04. > :08:06.falling so far this winter. That is, if the water didn't sleep into the
:08:07. > :08:12.ground. We have a huge amount of water brought in by areas of low
:08:13. > :08:13.pressure. 15 of them have been big storms, causing lots of
