:01:41. > :01:49.investment, this ship that will be built for the survey, it will be a
:01:50. > :01:55.major advantage. The ?200 mhllion to pay for it is provided by the
:01:56. > :02:00.government. George Osborne came to Cambridge to announce ?7 billion for
:02:01. > :02:02.British science. First, we're backing Britain's scientific
:02:03. > :02:08.clusters, like Cambridge, bdcause you are showing how much Brhtain can

:02:12. > :02:16.have built a cluster of innovation that has been phenomenally

:02:38. > :02:41.money, vital for uncovering more. The first thing we have to do is
:02:42. > :02:44.make sure that the facilitids in this country are the best in the
:02:45. > :02:49.world, that we attract the best people. Scientists are attr`cted by

:03:25. > :03:27.happened with this government is that funding has been initi`lly
:03:28. > :03:31.slashed and now the Chancellor has turned up with some cash just before

:04:44. > :04:47.Frustration, anger, discussdd at the British government allowing this to
:04:48. > :04:50.happen. You have always denhed the charges against you and you have
:04:51. > :04:54.always said you would be happy to go back to America to face tri`l but
:04:55. > :05:00.what horrifies you is the f`ct that you will be in prison, separated
:05:01. > :05:03.from your wife. This is the part that we are concerned about. We
:05:04. > :05:08.being sent back and held in prison before trial? The prison we will be
:05:09. > :05:14.sent back and placed in is ` prison designed for murderers, raphsts and
:05:15. > :05:18.drug dealers. That is their majority of the people. We will not have our
:05:19. > :05:22.own cells so we will be expdcted to share a cell with up to six other
:05:23. > :05:30.people. The thought of the separation from my wife, and heard
:05:31. > :05:32.in particular having to spend her time with people who have bden
:05:33. > :05:38.convicted of those crimes, ht is just horrifying for me. Could the
:05:39. > :05:41.government have done more to help? Certainly. They have made special
:05:42. > :05:50.arrangements in the past for high`profile characters. But I am in
:05:51. > :05:54.just Mr average and it is e`sier for the government is to slip this under
:05:55. > :06:00.the radar. `` I am just. We hope that people will speak out `nd
:06:01. > :06:03.insist that they take action. And you now know that you will be
:06:04. > :06:09.extradited but do you know when you might we know was the exhibhtion
:06:10. > :06:14.will take place at some point during the next 28 days. Thank you for

:07:23. > :07:25.administer the treatments in the same space. And is not enough room
:07:26. > :07:30.for everyone to have family here to support them. This is the m`in
:07:31. > :07:34.treatment room that they have now. There are ten units where pdople can
:07:35. > :07:39.have chemotherapy but it is all in one room. As you can see, it is
:07:40. > :07:43.quite cramped. Tracey comes here every three weeks to be tre`ted for
:07:44. > :07:48.breast cancer. But the unit is small. And it struggles to cope with
:07:49. > :07:53.the ever`increasing numbers using it. Tracey will be glad to see the
:07:54. > :08:01.back of the cramped conditions. When you sit down, a few minutes later
:08:02. > :08:05.you are asked to move and then someone else sits in the se`t and
:08:06. > :08:07.they do not realise. It is puite frustrating. It can be quitd
:08:08. > :08:15.upsetting because you are w`iting to have treatment. It is quite
:08:16. > :08:17.stressful, worrying about that. Also struggling to cope, MacMill`n
:08:18. > :08:21.workers in the on`site support centre. The new unit will mdan that
:08:22. > :08:27.they can recruit more volunteers with more space to do their vital
:08:28. > :08:32.work. At the moment, we livd in such a constrained environment that we
:08:33. > :08:36.have one people in `` if we have one person in, we are busy. In the new
:08:37. > :08:40.centre, we will have more pdople and volunteers. The volunteers `re a big
:08:41. > :08:50.issue because they do all the filtering that we can then take on
:08:51. > :08:54.to support people psychologhcally. The new centre will mean th`t they
:08:55. > :08:59.will more than double the alount of room and treat almost twice as many
:09:00. > :09:04.patients. Having all of the space and all of the modern facilhties
:09:05. > :09:08.will make a huge difference, as well as all of the additional crdature
:09:09. > :09:15.comforts, having a garden, having patient Wi`Fi, having lots of quiet
:09:16. > :09:20.rooms where you can go to sht and have time on your own. The number of
:09:21. > :09:26.people diagnosed with cancer is set to double by 2030. This centre will

:11:19. > :11:24.from the other one in a momdnt but first, this from our political
:11:25. > :11:28.editor. It has been a week of campaign launches for the Etropean
:11:29. > :11:37.elections and there is one party that is on everyone's lips. UKIP.
:11:38. > :11:42.A vote for UKIP is a vote for the status quo. It is a vote for a
:11:43. > :11:47.grumpy reaction to the EU whthout actually being serious about it

:12:04. > :12:23.they got 20%. In 2009, the vote share was virtually unchangdd.
:12:24. > :12:28.Labour is suffered them... Or UKIP want is headlines. They do know
:12:29. > :12:31.constituency work. Most of them in the European Parliament are not
:12:32. > :12:39.affecting the decisions that are taken. Lib Dem politicians `re after
:12:40. > :12:45.the 30% of voters who want to stay in the EU. For too long, thd
:12:46. > :13:00.isolationists have got away with peddling myths and fears and
:13:01. > :13:07.falsehoods. Although UKIP one two seats last time around, one of their
:13:08. > :13:23.MEPs defected. This year's candidates hope to remedy that.
:13:24. > :13:30.Richard Howitt says they do no work in the constituency or the
:13:31. > :13:35.Parliament? Is talking nonsdnse My voting record is 91% and his is less
:13:36. > :13:41.than 80%. I am on three comlittees, and some of them overlap will stop I
:13:42. > :13:47.always give our T2 agriculttre. I am in added tender. Only 22 of the MEPs
:13:48. > :13:51.turn up regularly and only dight of them know anything about farming. As
:13:52. > :13:55.far as the constituency goes, and if my business to visit a small
:13:56. > :14:01.business that writes to me `bout problems with EU legislation. I ll
:14:02. > :14:04.go and see them on an industrial estate and really try to find out
:14:05. > :14:24.what is going on and, if I can, make a speech. Some claim that if we pull
:14:25. > :14:29.out of Europe, it will be a barrier to trade. That is nonsense. Those
:14:30. > :14:34.people said that they would go under if we did not join the euro. But we
:14:35. > :14:39.did not and we did not. We `re progressing very well. You do not
:14:40. > :14:42.have to be on political union with anybody to trade with them. If we
:14:43. > :14:46.left of the European Union... If those companies decided that they
:14:47. > :14:52.could not do business with Durope from here, it would be a lot of
:14:53. > :15:05.jobs. I'd heartily disagree with what they say. We would havd a more
:15:06. > :15:14.flexible labour market here will stop ``. We would not have the
:15:15. > :15:16.problems. There is no reason why these countries should not thrive in
:15:17. > :15:28.Britain outside of the European Union. No reason at all. In the
:15:29. > :15:31.past, we have not had the bdst candidate. What do you say to people
:15:32. > :15:42.who say that your party is perhaps not ready? It is a difficult balance
:15:43. > :15:44.to strike, because people... We were keen to get candidates for the
:15:45. > :15:48.council elections and our mdmbership swelled so we did not know who was
:15:49. > :15:52.joining us but we wanted people to stand stop you rightly say that yes,
:15:53. > :15:57.one or two turned out to be unsatisfactory. The result will have
:15:58. > :16:00.done is made other more competent individuals feel that they want to
:16:01. > :16:06.be a counsellor and they fedl that they have a good chance it stand for
:16:07. > :16:10.UKIP. That is the way the world goes round. I accept that there were some
:16:11. > :16:18.disappointments but we have had some pleasant surprises. We have to leave
:16:19. > :16:23.it there, Mr Agnew. In sports, and on for a number of
:16:24. > :16:27.our football teams battling for promotion or to avoid releg`tion.
:16:28. > :16:31.And in rugby, Northampton S`ints could get into their second final of
:16:32. > :16:38.the season if they can beat harlequins tonight. James Btrridge
:16:39. > :16:41.has just sent this. There are notable landmarks in a
:16:42. > :16:48.sporting season, particularly at this time of year. Northampton
:16:49. > :16:57.Saints could be one of them. But it is a massive sporting weekend. We
:16:58. > :17:03.have the World Championships at the Crucible, but if you are a football
:17:04. > :17:07.fan, his next two weekends `re key. Particularly if you are one of the
:17:08. > :17:11.two teams facing a relegation battle. We have been catching up
:17:12. > :17:16.with this big fan, finding out what it takes to win big.
:17:17. > :17:20.Barry not only knows how to read the table, he knows every trick shot in
:17:21. > :17:25.the book. He has been in thd game for 20 years. But for the C`naries
:17:26. > :17:34.to escape relegation, something special will have two happen in the
:17:35. > :17:38.next three games. They are sixth or seventh in the league, so I think
:17:39. > :17:42.that gives them a really good chance to pick up some points. Thex should
:17:43. > :17:48.be very encouraged by their performance. For Norwich, the Reds
:17:49. > :17:52.stand in their path. But Unhted have not been subclinical this sdason and
:17:53. > :17:57.now headed Moyes has lost hhs job. The Canaries hope they can break
:17:58. > :18:00.their unbeaten run at Old Trafford. We're playing a good team whth good
:18:01. > :18:06.players who have probably not done as well as they would have liked to
:18:07. > :18:16.have done. But again, we have to focus on what we are doing. If we go
:18:17. > :18:18.there with a game plan, I fdel that we can cause a problem. As for the
:18:19. > :18:36.championship, Ipswich Town `t the chance of a play`off. If we play as
:18:37. > :18:41.well as we have done in the last two games, we could go to Burnldy and
:18:42. > :18:46.win. If we drop our standards, no matter what they have been doing, we
:18:47. > :18:51.will have a tough afternoon. A win for Peterborough would secure a
:18:52. > :18:56.play`off spot in league one. MK Dons take the trip to Rotherham. But at
:18:57. > :18:58.the foot, Colchester have work to do at Brentford. Win, and they could
:18:59. > :19:25.save themselves from relegation dreaded drop. There are still highs
:19:26. > :19:42.and lows to play for. A win at Fleetwood would secure their spot.
:19:43. > :19:48.Perfect conditions tonight. One of the coaches has popped out. The form
:19:49. > :19:58.has been pretty patchy. How is formed. I'm considering on the
:19:59. > :20:05.positives. In terms of lookhng forward, that is what we want to do.
:20:06. > :20:16.We want to build momentum. Coaches talk about detail, but it sdems like
:20:17. > :20:23.a foreign sign. We look at the videos. We are encouraging the
:20:24. > :20:29.players to do that. When pl`yers get onto the training pitch,
:20:30. > :20:31.players to do that. When pl`yers get them to take it into the gale. How
:20:32. > :20:36.difficult is it to compete on so many fronts? I think as a coaching
:20:37. > :20:51.staff, every game we play wd want to win. Everything. Every game. We want
:20:52. > :20:54.to win. Good luck tonight. We're going to finish by congratulating
:20:55. > :20:57.Greg Rutherford, the long jtmper from Milton Keynes. Not onlx is he
:20:58. > :21:00.the Olympic Champion, he's now the British record holder, jumphng .51
:21:01. > :21:08.metres in San Diego last night. Perfect preparation for the
:21:09. > :21:11.Commonwealth Games later thhs year. Finally tonight, how a thing of
:21:12. > :21:15.beauty was crafted amid the carnage of the First World War. It's a
:21:16. > :21:18.flute, thought to have been made by a soldier in the trenches using
:21:19. > :21:21.materials he found around hhm. The flute belongs to Andrew Fairley who
:21:22. > :21:25.lives in Felixstowe. He bought it from an antiques shop in 1963. On
:21:26. > :21:34.Sunday it will be centre st`ge at a special concert in Woodbridge.
:21:35. > :21:39.So I'm intrigued to find out, what's in the box? Well it's quite a unique
:21:40. > :21:42.musical instrument... Andrew Fairley is a gifted musician but evdn he
:21:43. > :21:50.struggled to master this agd`old relic. If you look carefullx you can
:21:51. > :21:56.see the tone hole. There's part of the bullet casing. This herd is made
:21:57. > :22:00.of cardboard. And Wool's Tobacco Paper, you can see there. It's
:22:01. > :22:06.obviously been glued togethdr. Who knows, maybe even horse glud. Then
:22:07. > :22:10.it's been sealed with boot polish. Andrew can't remember how mtch he
:22:11. > :22:13.paid for it. He has no idea what it's worth now. But the Impdrial War
:22:14. > :22:21.Museum says it's unlike anything it's ever seen. It's quirky to look
:22:22. > :22:24.at, and also to play! Considering what it's made of, it's incredible
:22:25. > :22:29.you can play anything at all. I ll play a tune if you like! Maxbe a
:22:30. > :22:36.little bit suspect here and there but I'll do my best!
:22:37. > :23:06.Brilliant! On Sunday, in Woodbridge, Andrew and a 28 strong commtnity
:23:07. > :23:24.string orchestra are giving a concert. In the programme is this
:23:25. > :23:29.piece, composed in the trenches in 1914.
:23:30. > :23:50.also get to savour the sound of that quirky trench flute. Here wd go
:23:51. > :23:54.Sometimes it is very emotional. You wonder under what circumstances it
:23:55. > :24:04.was played. Would you ever part with it? No. Too precious? Absolttely.
:24:05. > :24:06.Fascinating story. And therd are many more like that one frol this
:24:07. > :24:23.region on our website. Time now for the weather. It has not
:24:24. > :24:30.really been the biggest day of weather. Some longer showers
:24:31. > :24:43.tomorrow. But also some sunny spells. Today has been 37. `` been
:24:44. > :24:54.pretty grim. We have had misty and foggy conditions. It is still quite
:24:55. > :24:59.misty out the other. `` out there. The potential is there for some more
