:00:51. > :00:53.It was a day Northampton will never forget.
:00:54. > :01:00.Saturday's victory in the Premiership final was followed
:01:01. > :01:06.by an open top bus parade and wild celebrations in the town centre
:01:07. > :01:09.In a moment we'll be talking to the Saints President
:01:10. > :01:15.Neil Bradford will look at what this success could mean for the town
:01:16. > :01:26.with two of the Saints' trophies at Franklins Gardens.
:01:27. > :01:31.Yes, let me introduce you to the double, the Challenge Cup on my
:01:32. > :01:38.left, the one which the Saints picked up eight days ago. It is the
:01:39. > :01:41.one next to it which really matters to players, coaches and fans of
:01:42. > :01:46.Northampton Saints. The preliership trophy, which they won against
:01:47. > :01:49.Saracens at Twickenham in dramatic style on Saturday. And for the
:01:50. > :01:54.Saints, this is big stuff bdcause they have come so close, so many
:01:55. > :01:57.times before whether it was the Heineken Cup final in Cardiff a few
:01:58. > :02:01.years ago, the premiership final against Leicester. Those were the
:02:02. > :02:06.nearly years and now they are no longer the nearly men. Jim Lallinder
:02:07. > :02:09.as you've never seen them bdfore. After all the years of trying,
:02:10. > :02:12.all the pain, all the hurt. Just for the club and for
:02:13. > :02:18.the town and the whole area, a real good boost and hopefully we can go
:02:19. > :02:22.onwards and win some more trophies. We always know that Northampton
:02:23. > :02:25.have got fantastic followers. Just to see them come out
:02:26. > :02:28.and supporting the team likd this, it shows I think what it me`ns to
:02:29. > :02:32.everybody involved. The final move
:02:33. > :02:43.of an extraordinary match. Local lad Alex Waller with
:02:44. > :02:46.a touchdown which brought S`ints Luther made a great break and I
:02:47. > :02:54.thought he almost scored. I just saw a little gap opening
:02:55. > :02:58.and I thought, if there's any moment I'll give it a crack and I lanaged
:02:59. > :03:04.to get it on the edge of thd line. When Jim Mallinder arrived
:03:05. > :03:07.in 2007 he had other priorities He had to concentrate
:03:08. > :03:09.on getting Northampton back Well, now he's not only dond that,
:03:10. > :03:13.he's won them the Premiership title seven years
:03:14. > :03:19.on and this is the end result. This is the moment you've all
:03:20. > :03:29.been dreaming of, isn't it? Yeah, I think it's
:03:30. > :03:32.a moment we thought we'd never see as well and on the back of the
:03:33. > :03:36.Tigers game in the cup final last week, you just thought, well, maybe,
:03:37. > :03:39.maybe it's going to be our xear and That's not just the effort
:03:40. > :03:48.that went in on game day. That's the culmination
:03:49. > :03:50.of all the work that's gone in all season, for the
:03:51. > :03:54.disappointment of seasons gone by. I spoke after the game about
:03:55. > :03:57.Leon Barwell and the Barwell family It's just reward for that and it
:03:58. > :04:04.means a huge amount to everxbody. A Samoan dance cheered on
:04:05. > :04:09.by over 30,000 people. Not an ordinary Sunday
:04:10. > :04:24.in Northampton's Market Squ`re There were over 50,000 fans at
:04:25. > :04:28.Twickenham on Saturday. 30,000 on the streets of Northampton `t the
:04:29. > :04:32.weekend and the game itself on Saturday was watched in over 14
:04:33. > :04:37.territories worldwide but b`ck in Northamptonshire, the successive win
:04:38. > :04:44.keenly felt, too, as Neil Bradford now reports. The celebrations may be
:04:45. > :04:48.over but there's no shortagd of pride, particularly at Northampton
:04:49. > :04:52.Guildhall. The borough council is flying the flag for their sporting
:04:53. > :04:56.heroes. At this primary School, their success prompted a ch`nge of
:04:57. > :05:01.sport this afternoon. These children were supposed to be playing cricket.
:05:02. > :05:07.They have more reason than lost to celebrate. Their deputy headteacher
:05:08. > :05:12.is the mother of Alex Waller. I could not be more proud, fantastic.
:05:13. > :05:15.Proud of the whole team, but particularly my boy, and Aldx on
:05:16. > :05:24.Saturday, the time of his lhfe, fantastic. Across town, somd big
:05:25. > :05:28.decisions for the editor of the Chronicle and Echo. He's picking the
:05:29. > :05:31.images for a special edition of Thursday 's paper. He says the town
:05:32. > :05:35.needs to make the most of this moment. Sporting success always
:05:36. > :05:42.makes people feel good about the time in which they live and work. If
:05:43. > :05:48.you think of the Northampton Saints, the cricket in the top flight as
:05:49. > :05:55.well, it's a really strong town for sport. Sentiment shared by The Times
:05:56. > :05:57.politicians. I think we shotld talk Northampton up and to see the
:05:58. > :06:01.fantastic sports achievements we've had over the last few years, and
:06:02. > :06:05.indeed over the last weekend shows that Northampton is on the lap for
:06:06. > :06:09.sporting achievements, but `lso lots of other great things. I was of the
:06:10. > :06:14.victory parade yesterday, tdns of thousands of people there at such
:06:15. > :06:20.short notice. Everybody had smile on their face. The sunshine helps and
:06:21. > :06:23.it's great news for the timd. Back at school, the rugby players are
:06:24. > :06:29.excited and proud of their winning club. It makes me think likd I want
:06:30. > :06:36.to represent this time, too, someday. It's very exciting for the
:06:37. > :06:41.whole town. It's not been vdry long since they won the other cup, but
:06:42. > :06:52.they liked it. How do you fdel about the team? I'm very excited. For the
:06:53. > :06:58.players, the celebrations mtst now be put to one side. They nedd to
:06:59. > :07:07.concentrate on next season but the fans will continue to relish their
:07:08. > :07:10.victory. The board of directors have been meeting for the past hour in a
:07:11. > :07:15.room on my right hand side. I've heard nothing but laughter for the
:07:16. > :07:19.best part of half an hour btt this club is synonymous with one family,
:07:20. > :07:24.and it was Keith who took over the reins back in 1995 and he changed
:07:25. > :07:28.the face of club rugby. He handed over the reins to his son b`ck in
:07:29. > :07:32.2011 but he sadly died last summer of cancer so this whole year has
:07:33. > :07:36.been extremely emotional for the whole club, the players, thd
:07:37. > :07:42.supporters, as well. Winning this title for Keith was a huge loment. I
:07:43. > :07:46.caught up with them earlier and his smile was as wide as a Cheshire cat.
:07:47. > :07:47.Keith, congratulations, Premiership champions.
:07:48. > :07:49.It's something you been working on for almost two decades.
:07:50. > :07:57.And, really, on Sunday in the Market Square when all the fans were coming
:07:58. > :08:01.out, only on very short nothce, and you could see their happiness,
:08:02. > :08:12.People said to me, it must be the happiest day of your life?
:08:13. > :08:14.I'm sure I should feel better than this.
:08:15. > :08:18.But perhaps I'd had too much Guinness, I don't know.
:08:19. > :08:21.And the weekend itself, I mdan, are you still having to pinch
:08:22. > :08:24.yourself that your dream has finally come true?
:08:25. > :08:28.No, because it was a nightmare last year.
:08:29. > :08:32.I do believe that the gods were on our side this year and that's fine.
:08:33. > :08:36.It's been a very tough year for you and your family with your
:08:37. > :08:44.What have they being like to deal with?
:08:45. > :08:49.It's probably changed me and my wife and Leon's sistdr Ella's
:08:50. > :08:55.Life will never be the same but I was also proud of Leon
:08:56. > :08:59.on the day because if you knew what was going on in
:09:00. > :09:02.the background, he changed, he did a lot of things that I should have
:09:03. > :09:10.I was a bit of a rough diamond, really.
:09:11. > :09:21.I imagine rugby has been hugely cathartic in a sense
:09:22. > :09:30.It helped me and I think it helped to a lesser extent Ella.
:09:31. > :09:33.My wife can't bear to come down here at the moment.
:09:34. > :09:40.You were the one who signed Jim Mallinder back in 2007.
:09:41. > :09:45.What was it about him which you liked?
:09:46. > :09:52.Dorian, I've viewed as just a thug from Leicester but probably
:09:53. > :10:02.He is such a good likeable person and he obviously is a tough guy
:10:03. > :10:05.in the sense that he wants to do it his way.
:10:06. > :10:09.I think Jim is laying down ` marker which says this is Northampton,
:10:10. > :10:17.And if you were to sum it up, Keith, finally, how would you sum tp being
:10:18. > :10:24.I haven't had much experience of it so far, but I'll let you know how it
:10:25. > :10:43.Today came news that Jim Mallinder has signed a new five`year contract,
:10:44. > :10:47.so defending these trophies, they got one of the most experienced men
:10:48. > :10:52.in the business. James, thank you very much.
:10:53. > :10:55.A murder trial has been hearing how a dying two`year`old girl w`s found
:10:56. > :10:58.slumped "like a rag doll" when paramedics arrived.
:10:59. > :11:01.Amina Agboola died at her home at Yaxley near Peterborough after
:11:02. > :11:04.The mother's boyfriend denies murder.
:11:05. > :11:06.Her mother denies causing or allowing the toddler's death.
:11:07. > :11:08.Our home affairs corresponddnt was in court today.
:11:09. > :11:19.Cambridge Crown Court heard how Amina Agboola was unresponshve when
:11:20. > :11:24.paramedics reached home near Peterborough. That was last
:11:25. > :11:29.November. She had been rupttred in a kick inflicted by her mother 's
:11:30. > :11:32.19`year`old boyfriend, Dean Harris. One paramedic remarked as she lay on
:11:33. > :11:37.the floor she looked like a rag doll. They say the fact she had wet
:11:38. > :11:42.herself and soiled nappies `nd clothes had been the trigger which
:11:43. > :11:48.unleashed Harris matter what anger. He said she fell off a tile but
:11:49. > :11:51.later admitted kicking her `nd he plead guilty to manslaughter saying
:11:52. > :11:57.he didn't mean to cause serhous harm. The little girl 's mother
:11:58. > :12:01.29, denies causing or allowhng her daughter 's death by leaving her
:12:02. > :12:05.alone would Dean Harris. Thd court heard social workers repeatddly
:12:06. > :12:08.warned her that Mr Harris w`s a danger to her daughter and because
:12:09. > :12:13.of his history of domestic violence with a previous partner. I
:12:14. > :12:18.understand the court heard dvidence from a paramedic? Yes, he is seen
:12:19. > :12:23.here ahead of his colleagues leaving court after giving evidence. He said
:12:24. > :12:27.when he arrived at the housd, Amina Agboola was in her pink nightie on
:12:28. > :12:30.the floor and he said was unresponsive and Mr Harris didn t
:12:31. > :12:35.seem concerned about her condition the paramedic asked `` asked to get
:12:36. > :12:41.off the phone to talk about what happened to the child. The court
:12:42. > :12:43.heard Mr had told an inmate he was a psychopath. The trial is expected to
:12:44. > :12:48.last six weeks. Sally, thank you. The RAF has pledged that
:12:49. > :12:51.a Cambridgeshire airbase dods have Last week it was announced 083
:12:52. > :12:55.posts were to go at RAF Wittering. It was feared that might signal
:12:56. > :12:58.a winding down of operations there. But the Station Commander h`s told
:12:59. > :13:02.Look East that flying will resume next year
:13:03. > :13:19.and that will mean extra personnel. Wittering has
:13:20. > :13:22.a fantastic heritage of avi`tion particularly with the Harridr most
:13:23. > :13:26.recently lost in 2010 but wd are It will be a University Air Squadron
:13:27. > :13:31.flying hub so there will be lots of young university air squ`dron

:13:46. > :13:50.and the bombing of the East Coast 600 miles in memory of
:13:51. > :13:55.Elena Baltacha. Pioneering research
:13:56. > :13:58.on bowel cancer is being carried out in this region which allows tumours
:13:59. > :14:02.to be kept alive outside thd body. It could change our underst`nding
:14:03. > :14:05.of the disease. It's been made possible
:14:06. > :14:07.by a partnership between thd Norfolk and Norwich Hospital
:14:08. > :14:10.and the University of East @nglia. I've been to see how it works
:14:11. > :14:28.and meet the team behind it. The surgeon scrubs up for hhs next
:14:29. > :14:38.operation. He is planning to remove the chamber there is growing in this
:14:39. > :14:40.patient's:. But what makes this operation different to others is
:14:41. > :14:46.what happens afterwards. Part of the what happens afterwards. Part of the
:14:47. > :14:49.tumour is handed over to a doctor, a research scientist at the
:14:50. > :14:52.neighbouring University, in the butter in a special solution which
:14:53. > :14:59.keeps growing as if it was stolen the body. Historically, expdriments
:15:00. > :15:04.have been done on tissue th`t has already been dead or in chelicals
:15:05. > :15:08.and the ability to experiment on cells when they are still alive
:15:09. > :15:12.allows us to see the dynamics of things we have not seen before and
:15:13. > :15:18.to find out many things which were not possible. It's a missing piece
:15:19. > :15:24.of the jigsaw. Mark Williams makes this trip to and from the hospital a
:15:25. > :15:28.couple of times a week. He collect healthy and diseased tissue and
:15:29. > :15:34.experiments on it. A healthx bowel renews itself all the time. Because
:15:35. > :15:37.of the solution he has created, Doctor Williams and his teal can
:15:38. > :15:46.learn more about what causes that renewal to go wrong. What is the end
:15:47. > :15:51.goal of your research? We w`nt to prevent cancer and we would hope to
:15:52. > :15:57.improve chemotherapy. One of the major drawbacks with chemotherapy is
:15:58. > :16:01.the drawbacks. By being abld to culture healthy tissue, we can
:16:02. > :16:07.hopefully come up with drugs that kill the cancer but do not `ffect
:16:08. > :16:14.normal tissue. This ability to mimic conditions in the bowel is
:16:15. > :16:20.pioneering. The project has been partly funded by the local cancer
:16:21. > :16:30.charity. It's ticking all the boxes. It's a really good partnership
:16:31. > :16:34.project. It cost us ?64,000. You've got the partnership between the
:16:35. > :16:40.University and hospital and also now we are able to get further funding
:16:41. > :16:45.from a pharmaceutical company to go to the next stage of the research.
:16:46. > :16:54.In the next 5`10 years, we could see personalised medicine. Thesd are
:16:55. > :16:57.exciting times in cancer research and write here in East Anglha, they
:16:58. > :17:01.are on the cusp of a major breakthrough.
:17:02. > :17:04.It was a new kind of warfard, something no one had seen bdfore,
:17:05. > :17:08.and it started here in the Dast just a few months into
:17:09. > :17:12.The story of the first aeri`l attacks on Britain is told tonight
:17:13. > :17:15.in a special programme on BBC One called The Zeppelin Terror.
:17:16. > :17:18.In a moment, we'll be speaking to its prdsenter ,
:17:19. > :17:24.But first, here's a flavour of what you can see.
:17:25. > :17:31.Britain's airspace is one of the most tightly defended in thd world.
:17:32. > :17:37.We can't fly anyone pay without someone knowing about it. Btt 1 0
:17:38. > :17:43.years ago, an attack on a Norfolk coastal town changed everything An
:17:44. > :17:48.airship slipped in undetectdd and unleashed carnage on the people
:17:49. > :17:52.living below. It was the st`rt of a terrifying new campaign aimdd at
:17:53. > :17:55.killing innocent men, women and children and forcing an early end to
:17:56. > :18:03.the war. Britain was suddenly defenceless. By re`visiting the bomb
:18:04. > :18:06.sites on the ground, I will find out how close the Germans came to
:18:07. > :18:12.breaking the spirit of the British people. The story of the impact of
:18:13. > :18:17.the attacks on the home front will take us from Norfolk to London,
:18:18. > :18:24.Hertfordshire to Essex. And it all started in the seaside town of great
:18:25. > :18:28.Yarmouth. For hundreds of ydars the Royal Navy had protected thd British
:18:29. > :18:32.against attack from the sea but they were powerless against this new
:18:33. > :18:42.threat from the air. On the night of the 19th of January, 1915, people
:18:43. > :18:51.eerie throbbing sound of thdm. Bombs began falling on the town btt it was
:18:52. > :18:55.in the place below me now that the full horror of aerial warfare was
:18:56. > :18:58.unleashed on the British people for the very first time.
:18:59. > :19:16.It's amazing. It was shocking and terrifying but there was thhs morbid
:19:17. > :19:20.fascination as well. Crowds would turn out into the street to witness
:19:21. > :19:26.this strange thing happening. Doris, who was in London at the tile as a
:19:27. > :19:33.toddler, was told by her father you are witnessing history! There is a
:19:34. > :19:40.scene in the film where you do a piece to camera and a superhmposed
:19:41. > :19:48.the Zeppelin in the backgrotnd to give it some kind of scale. These
:19:49. > :19:52.things were massive. They wdre flying a great height but even so,
:19:53. > :19:59.they were these great silhotettes you could see in the sky. And they
:20:00. > :20:05.arrived almost unannounced. Suddenly, they would be there,
:20:06. > :20:12.unleashing this deadly cargo. Why were there no warnings? This was all
:20:13. > :20:19.being encountered for the fhrst time. There was an interest in not
:20:20. > :20:26.giving too much warning bec`use it would disrupt people's sleep. The
:20:27. > :20:30.government was worried it w`s cause mass panic. There were all these
:20:31. > :20:38.strange ad hoc things like football rattles and whistles. Absurd,
:20:39. > :20:45.really, but what it did do was me not Ed defences were more prepared
:20:46. > :20:48.in World War II. We got to try out and practice are Ed defences and
:20:49. > :20:55.develop techniques which were very effective. The effect was
:20:56. > :21:01.devastating on our part of the country, wasn't it? It's am`zing.
:21:02. > :21:06.Relatively small bombs at the time but caused enormous damage to
:21:07. > :21:12.property. Tell us about the impact it had at that stage in the
:21:13. > :21:16.conflict. The German Navy h`d bombarded us a couple of tiles but
:21:17. > :21:21.we had a feeling that we cotld see of the Navy. The British Navy ruled
:21:22. > :21:27.the waves but not the skies. People felt angry that we had no ddfences
:21:28. > :21:34.to counter this. We didn't know how many airships they had. It was
:21:35. > :21:39.terrifying for the population to be undefended. Men, women and children
:21:40. > :21:46.died on the streets of our counties and in their beds.
:21:47. > :21:48.The Zeppelin Terror is on BBC One at 7:30pm.
:21:49. > :21:52.It was less than a month ago that the world of tennis mourned
:21:53. > :21:56.The former British number one was diagnosed with liver cancer
:21:57. > :21:58.in January and passed away at her home in Suffolk.
:21:59. > :22:02.Now Elena's nephew, Josh Shdppard, has decided to cycle 600 miles to
:22:03. > :22:05.Berlin to raise money for the hospice in Ipswich that helped care
:22:06. > :22:20.Swotting up on the art of bhcycle maintenance. Josh and his friend are
:22:21. > :22:25.not into hard`core cycling but that is why they chose this. Not for fun
:22:26. > :22:32.but to raise money and awardness for the hospice that cared for Josh s
:22:33. > :22:38.aren't. She was such an amazing person. She was a beautiful
:22:39. > :22:44.character. One of tennis's lost popular players, she burst onto the
:22:45. > :22:49.scene as a teenager. Her prdmature death at just 30 devastated those
:22:50. > :22:54.far beyond the sport. It also is heard the two men to enjoy ` 10`day
:22:55. > :23:02.trek across the continent. While they are not seasoned cyclist, it
:23:03. > :23:07.should add to the challenge. By the time they reach Berlin, thex will
:23:08. > :23:15.have hoped to have raised at least ?1000. We are doing the cycle ride
:23:16. > :23:20.to raise money for the hosphce. They really mean a lot to a lot of
