programme keeping cancer trdatment a life outside of the body. And 6 0

miles on a bike in memory of Elena Baltacha.

:00:42.:00:50.

It was a day Northampton will never forget.

:00:51.:00:53.

Saturday's victory in the Premiership final was followed

:00:54.:01:00.

by an open top bus parade and wild celebrations in the town centre

:01:01.:01:06.

In a moment we'll be talking to the Saints President

:01:07.:01:09.

Neil Bradford will look at what this success could mean for the town

:01:10.:01:15.

with two of the Saints' trophies at Franklins Gardens.

:01:16.:01:26.

Yes, let me introduce you to the double, the Challenge Cup on my

:01:27.:01:31.

left, the one which the Saints picked up eight days ago. It is the

:01:32.:01:38.

one next to it which really matters to players, coaches and fans of

:01:39.:01:41.

Northampton Saints. The preliership trophy, which they won against

:01:42.:01:46.

Saracens at Twickenham in dramatic style on Saturday. And for the

:01:47.:01:49.

Saints, this is big stuff bdcause they have come so close, so many

:01:50.:01:54.

times before whether it was the Heineken Cup final in Cardiff a few

:01:55.:01:57.

years ago, the premiership final against Leicester. Those were the

:01:58.:02:01.

nearly years and now they are no longer the nearly men. Jim Lallinder

:02:02.:02:06.

as you've never seen them bdfore. After all the years of trying,

:02:07.:02:09.

all the pain, all the hurt. Just for the club and for

:02:10.:02:12.

the town and the whole area, a real good boost and hopefully we can go

:02:13.:02:18.

onwards and win some more trophies. We always know that Northampton

:02:19.:02:22.

have got fantastic followers. Just to see them come out

:02:23.:02:25.

and supporting the team likd this, it shows I think what it me`ns to

:02:26.:02:28.

everybody involved. The final move

:02:29.:02:32.

of an extraordinary match. Local lad Alex Waller with

:02:33.:02:43.

a touchdown which brought S`ints Luther made a great break and I

:02:44.:02:46.

thought he almost scored. I just saw a little gap opening

:02:47.:02:54.

and I thought, if there's any moment I'll give it a crack and I lanaged

:02:55.:02:58.

to get it on the edge of thd line. When Jim Mallinder arrived

:02:59.:03:04.

in 2007 he had other priorities He had to concentrate

:03:05.:03:07.

on getting Northampton back Well, now he's not only dond that,

:03:08.:03:09.

he's won them the Premiership title seven years

:03:10.:03:13.

on and this is the end result. This is the moment you've all

:03:14.:03:19.

been dreaming of, isn't it? Yeah, I think it's

:03:20.:03:29.

a moment we thought we'd never see as well and on the back of the

:03:30.:03:32.

Tigers game in the cup final last week, you just thought, well, maybe,

:03:33.:03:36.

maybe it's going to be our xear and That's not just the effort

:03:37.:03:39.

that went in on game day. That's the culmination

:03:40.:03:48.

of all the work that's gone in all season, for the

:03:49.:03:50.

disappointment of seasons gone by. I spoke after the game about

:03:51.:03:54.

Leon Barwell and the Barwell family It's just reward for that and it

:03:55.:03:57.

means a huge amount to everxbody. A Samoan dance cheered on

:03:58.:04:04.

by over 30,000 people. Not an ordinary Sunday

:04:05.:04:09.

in Northampton's Market Squ`re There were over 50,000 fans at

:04:10.:04:24.

Twickenham on Saturday. 30,000 on the streets of Northampton `t the

:04:25.:04:28.

weekend and the game itself on Saturday was watched in over 14

:04:29.:04:32.

territories worldwide but b`ck in Northamptonshire, the successive win

:04:33.:04:37.

keenly felt, too, as Neil Bradford now reports. The celebrations may be

:04:38.:04:44.

over but there's no shortagd of pride, particularly at Northampton

:04:45.:04:48.

Guildhall. The borough council is flying the flag for their sporting

:04:49.:04:52.

heroes. At this primary School, their success prompted a ch`nge of

:04:53.:04:56.

sport this afternoon. These children were supposed to be playing cricket.

:04:57.:05:01.

They have more reason than lost to celebrate. Their deputy headteacher

:05:02.:05:07.

is the mother of Alex Waller. I could not be more proud, fantastic.

:05:08.:05:12.

Proud of the whole team, but particularly my boy, and Aldx on

:05:13.:05:15.

Saturday, the time of his lhfe, fantastic. Across town, somd big

:05:16.:05:24.

decisions for the editor of the Chronicle and Echo. He's picking the

:05:25.:05:28.

images for a special edition of Thursday 's paper. He says the town

:05:29.:05:31.

needs to make the most of this moment. Sporting success always

:05:32.:05:35.

makes people feel good about the time in which they live and work. If

:05:36.:05:42.

you think of the Northampton Saints, the cricket in the top flight as

:05:43.:05:48.

well, it's a really strong town for sport. Sentiment shared by The Times

:05:49.:05:55.

politicians. I think we shotld talk Northampton up and to see the

:05:56.:05:57.

fantastic sports achievements we've had over the last few years, and

:05:58.:06:01.

indeed over the last weekend shows that Northampton is on the lap for

:06:02.:06:05.

sporting achievements, but `lso lots of other great things. I was of the

:06:06.:06:09.

victory parade yesterday, tdns of thousands of people there at such

:06:10.:06:14.

short notice. Everybody had smile on their face. The sunshine helps and

:06:15.:06:20.

it's great news for the timd. Back at school, the rugby players are

:06:21.:06:23.

excited and proud of their winning club. It makes me think likd I want

:06:24.:06:29.

to represent this time, too, someday. It's very exciting for the

:06:30.:06:36.

whole town. It's not been vdry long since they won the other cup, but

:06:37.:06:41.

they liked it. How do you fdel about the team? I'm very excited. For the

:06:42.:06:52.

players, the celebrations mtst now be put to one side. They nedd to

:06:53.:06:58.

concentrate on next season but the fans will continue to relish their

:06:59.:07:07.

victory. The board of directors have been meeting for the past hour in a

:07:08.:07:10.

room on my right hand side. I've heard nothing but laughter for the

:07:11.:07:15.

best part of half an hour btt this club is synonymous with one family,

:07:16.:07:19.

and it was Keith who took over the reins back in 1995 and he changed

:07:20.:07:24.

the face of club rugby. He handed over the reins to his son b`ck in

:07:25.:07:28.

2011 but he sadly died last summer of cancer so this whole year has

:07:29.:07:32.

been extremely emotional for the whole club, the players, thd

:07:33.:07:36.

supporters, as well. Winning this title for Keith was a huge loment. I

:07:37.:07:42.

caught up with them earlier and his smile was as wide as a Cheshire cat.

:07:43.:07:46.

Keith, congratulations, Premiership champions.

:07:47.:07:47.

It's something you been working on for almost two decades.

:07:48.:07:49.

And, really, on Sunday in the Market Square when all the fans were coming

:07:50.:07:57.

out, only on very short nothce, and you could see their happiness,

:07:58.:08:01.

People said to me, it must be the happiest day of your life?

:08:02.:08:12.

I'm sure I should feel better than this.

:08:13.:08:14.

But perhaps I'd had too much Guinness, I don't know.

:08:15.:08:18.

And the weekend itself, I mdan, are you still having to pinch

:08:19.:08:21.

yourself that your dream has finally come true?

:08:22.:08:24.

No, because it was a nightmare last year.

:08:25.:08:28.

I do believe that the gods were on our side this year and that's fine.

:08:29.:08:32.

It's been a very tough year for you and your family with your

:08:33.:08:36.

What have they being like to deal with?

:08:37.:08:44.

It's probably changed me and my wife and Leon's sistdr Ella's

:08:45.:08:49.

Life will never be the same but I was also proud of Leon

:08:50.:08:55.

on the day because if you knew what was going on in

:08:56.:08:59.

the background, he changed, he did a lot of things that I should have

:09:00.:09:02.

I was a bit of a rough diamond, really.

:09:03.:09:10.

I imagine rugby has been hugely cathartic in a sense

:09:11.:09:21.

It helped me and I think it helped to a lesser extent Ella.

:09:22.:09:30.

My wife can't bear to come down here at the moment.

:09:31.:09:33.

You were the one who signed Jim Mallinder back in 2007.

:09:34.:09:40.

What was it about him which you liked?

:09:41.:09:45.

Dorian, I've viewed as just a thug from Leicester but probably

:09:46.:09:52.

He is such a good likeable person and he obviously is a tough guy

:09:53.:10:02.

in the sense that he wants to do it his way.

:10:03.:10:05.

I think Jim is laying down ` marker which says this is Northampton,

:10:06.:10:09.

And if you were to sum it up, Keith, finally, how would you sum tp being

:10:10.:10:17.

I haven't had much experience of it so far, but I'll let you know how it

:10:18.:10:24.

Today came news that Jim Mallinder has signed a new five`year contract,

:10:25.:10:43.

so defending these trophies, they got one of the most experienced men

:10:44.:10:47.

in the business. James, thank you very much.

:10:48.:10:52.

A murder trial has been hearing how a dying two`year`old girl w`s found

:10:53.:10:55.

slumped "like a rag doll" when paramedics arrived.

:10:56.:10:58.

Amina Agboola died at her home at Yaxley near Peterborough after

:10:59.:11:01.

The mother's boyfriend denies murder.

:11:02.:11:04.

Her mother denies causing or allowing the toddler's death.

:11:05.:11:06.

Our home affairs corresponddnt was in court today.

:11:07.:11:08.

Cambridge Crown Court heard how Amina Agboola was unresponshve when

:11:09.:11:19.

paramedics reached home near Peterborough. That was last

:11:20.:11:24.

November. She had been rupttred in a kick inflicted by her mother 's

:11:25.:11:29.

19`year`old boyfriend, Dean Harris. One paramedic remarked as she lay on

:11:30.:11:32.

the floor she looked like a rag doll. They say the fact she had wet

:11:33.:11:37.

herself and soiled nappies `nd clothes had been the trigger which

:11:38.:11:42.

unleashed Harris matter what anger. He said she fell off a tile but

:11:43.:11:48.

later admitted kicking her `nd he plead guilty to manslaughter saying

:11:49.:11:51.

he didn't mean to cause serhous harm. The little girl 's mother

:11:52.:11:57.

29, denies causing or allowhng her daughter 's death by leaving her

:11:58.:12:01.

alone would Dean Harris. Thd court heard social workers repeatddly

:12:02.:12:05.

warned her that Mr Harris w`s a danger to her daughter and because

:12:06.:12:08.

of his history of domestic violence with a previous partner. I

:12:09.:12:13.

understand the court heard dvidence from a paramedic? Yes, he is seen

:12:14.:12:18.

here ahead of his colleagues leaving court after giving evidence. He said

:12:19.:12:23.

when he arrived at the housd, Amina Agboola was in her pink nightie on

:12:24.:12:27.

the floor and he said was unresponsive and Mr Harris didn t

:12:28.:12:30.

seem concerned about her condition the paramedic asked `` asked to get

:12:31.:12:35.

off the phone to talk about what happened to the child. The court

:12:36.:12:41.

heard Mr had told an inmate he was a psychopath. The trial is expected to

:12:42.:12:43.

last six weeks. Sally, thank you. The RAF has pledged that

:12:44.:12:48.

a Cambridgeshire airbase dods have Last week it was announced 083

:12:49.:12:51.

posts were to go at RAF Wittering. It was feared that might signal

:12:52.:12:55.

a winding down of operations there. But the Station Commander h`s told

:12:56.:12:58.

Look East that flying will resume next year

:12:59.:13:02.

and that will mean extra personnel. Wittering has

:13:03.:13:19.

a fantastic heritage of avi`tion particularly with the Harridr most

Elena Baltacha. Pioneering research

:13:51.:13:55.

on bowel cancer is being carried out in this region which allows tumours

:13:56.:13:58.

to be kept alive outside thd body. It could change our underst`nding

:13:59.:14:02.

of the disease. It's been made possible

:14:03.:14:05.

by a partnership between thd Norfolk and Norwich Hospital

:14:06.:14:07.

and the University of East @nglia. I've been to see how it works

:14:08.:14:10.

and meet the team behind it. The surgeon scrubs up for hhs next

operation. He is planning to remove the chamber there is growing in this

:14:39.:14:40.

what happens afterwards. Part of the what happens afterwards. Part of the

:14:41.:14:46.

tumour is handed over to a doctor, a research scientist at the

:14:47.:14:49.

neighbouring University, in the butter in a special solution which

:14:50.:14:52.

keeps growing as if it was stolen the body. Historically, expdriments

:14:53.:14:59.

have been done on tissue th`t has already been dead or in chelicals

:15:00.:15:04.

and the ability to experiment on cells when they are still alive

:15:05.:15:08.

allows us to see the dynamics of things we have not seen before and

:15:09.:15:12.

to find out many things which were not possible. It's a missing piece

:15:13.:15:18.

of the jigsaw. Mark Williams makes this trip to and from the hospital a

:15:19.:15:24.

couple of times a week. He collect healthy and diseased tissue and

:15:25.:15:28.

experiments on it. A healthx bowel renews itself all the time. Because

:15:29.:15:34.

of the solution he has created, Doctor Williams and his teal can

:15:35.:15:37.

learn more about what causes that renewal to go wrong. What is the end

:15:38.:15:46.

goal of your research? We w`nt to prevent cancer and we would hope to

:15:47.:15:51.

improve chemotherapy. One of the major drawbacks with chemotherapy is

:15:52.:15:57.

the drawbacks. By being abld to culture healthy tissue, we can

:15:58.:16:01.

hopefully come up with drugs that kill the cancer but do not `ffect

:16:02.:16:07.

normal tissue. This ability to mimic conditions in the bowel is

:16:08.:16:14.

pioneering. The project has been partly funded by the local cancer

:16:15.:16:20.

charity. It's ticking all the boxes. It's a really good partnership

:16:21.:16:30.

project. It cost us ?64,000. You've got the partnership between the

:16:31.:16:34.

University and hospital and also now we are able to get further funding

:16:35.:16:40.

from a pharmaceutical company to go to the next stage of the research.

:16:41.:16:45.

In the next 5`10 years, we could see personalised medicine. Thesd are

:16:46.:16:54.

exciting times in cancer research and write here in East Anglha, they

:16:55.:16:57.

are on the cusp of a major breakthrough.

:16:58.:17:01.

It was a new kind of warfard, something no one had seen bdfore,

:17:02.:17:04.

and it started here in the Dast just a few months into

:17:05.:17:08.

The story of the first aeri`l attacks on Britain is told tonight

:17:09.:17:12.

in a special programme on BBC One called The Zeppelin Terror.

:17:13.:17:15.

In a moment, we'll be speaking to its prdsenter ,

:17:16.:17:18.

But first, here's a flavour of what you can see.

:17:19.:17:24.

Britain's airspace is one of the most tightly defended in thd world.

:17:25.:17:31.

We can't fly anyone pay without someone knowing about it. Btt 1 0

:17:32.:17:37.

years ago, an attack on a Norfolk coastal town changed everything An

:17:38.:17:43.

airship slipped in undetectdd and unleashed carnage on the people

:17:44.:17:48.

living below. It was the st`rt of a terrifying new campaign aimdd at

:17:49.:17:52.

killing innocent men, women and children and forcing an early end to

:17:53.:17:55.

the war. Britain was suddenly defenceless. By re`visiting the bomb

:17:56.:18:03.

sites on the ground, I will find out how close the Germans came to

:18:04.:18:06.

breaking the spirit of the British people. The story of the impact of

:18:07.:18:12.

the attacks on the home front will take us from Norfolk to London,

:18:13.:18:17.

Hertfordshire to Essex. And it all started in the seaside town of great

:18:18.:18:24.

Yarmouth. For hundreds of ydars the Royal Navy had protected thd British

:18:25.:18:28.

against attack from the sea but they were powerless against this new

:18:29.:18:32.

threat from the air. On the night of the 19th of January, 1915, people

:18:33.:18:42.

eerie throbbing sound of thdm. Bombs began falling on the town btt it was

:18:43.:18:51.

in the place below me now that the full horror of aerial warfare was

:18:52.:18:55.

unleashed on the British people for the very first time.

:18:56.:18:58.

It's amazing. It was shocking and terrifying but there was thhs morbid

:18:59.:19:16.

fascination as well. Crowds would turn out into the street to witness

:19:17.:19:20.

this strange thing happening. Doris, who was in London at the tile as a

:19:21.:19:26.

toddler, was told by her father you are witnessing history! There is a

:19:27.:19:33.

scene in the film where you do a piece to camera and a superhmposed

:19:34.:19:40.

the Zeppelin in the backgrotnd to give it some kind of scale. These

:19:41.:19:48.

things were massive. They wdre flying a great height but even so,

:19:49.:19:52.

they were these great silhotettes you could see in the sky. And they

:19:53.:19:59.

arrived almost unannounced. Suddenly, they would be there,

:20:00.:20:05.

unleashing this deadly cargo. Why were there no warnings? This was all

:20:06.:20:12.

being encountered for the fhrst time. There was an interest in not

:20:13.:20:19.

giving too much warning bec`use it would disrupt people's sleep. The

:20:20.:20:26.

government was worried it w`s cause mass panic. There were all these

:20:27.:20:30.

strange ad hoc things like football rattles and whistles. Absurd,

:20:31.:20:38.

really, but what it did do was me not Ed defences were more prepared

:20:39.:20:45.

in World War II. We got to try out and practice are Ed defences and

:20:46.:20:48.

develop techniques which were very effective. The effect was

:20:49.:20:55.

devastating on our part of the country, wasn't it? It's am`zing.

:20:56.:21:01.

Relatively small bombs at the time but caused enormous damage to

:21:02.:21:06.

property. Tell us about the impact it had at that stage in the

:21:07.:21:12.

conflict. The German Navy h`d bombarded us a couple of tiles but

:21:13.:21:16.

we had a feeling that we cotld see of the Navy. The British Navy ruled

:21:17.:21:21.

the waves but not the skies. People felt angry that we had no ddfences

:21:22.:21:27.

to counter this. We didn't know how many airships they had. It was

:21:28.:21:34.

terrifying for the population to be undefended. Men, women and children

:21:35.:21:39.

died on the streets of our counties and in their beds.

:21:40.:21:46.

The Zeppelin Terror is on BBC One at 7:30pm.

:21:47.:21:48.

It was less than a month ago that the world of tennis mourned

:21:49.:21:52.

The former British number one was diagnosed with liver cancer

:21:53.:21:56.

in January and passed away at her home in Suffolk.

:21:57.:21:58.

Now Elena's nephew, Josh Shdppard, has decided to cycle 600 miles to

:21:59.:22:02.

Berlin to raise money for the hospice in Ipswich that helped care

:22:03.:22:05.

Swotting up on the art of bhcycle maintenance. Josh and his friend are

:22:06.:22:20.

not into hard`core cycling but that is why they chose this. Not for fun

:22:21.:22:25.

but to raise money and awardness for the hospice that cared for Josh s

:22:26.:22:32.

aren't. She was such an amazing person. She was a beautiful

:22:33.:22:38.

character. One of tennis's lost popular players, she burst onto the

:22:39.:22:44.

scene as a teenager. Her prdmature death at just 30 devastated those

:22:45.:22:49.

far beyond the sport. It also is heard the two men to enjoy ` 10`day

:22:50.:22:54.

trek across the continent. While they are not seasoned cyclist, it

:22:55.:23:02.

should add to the challenge. By the time they reach Berlin, thex will

:23:03.:23:07.

have hoped to have raised at least ?1000. We are doing the cycle ride

:23:08.:23:15.

to raise money for the hosphce. They really mean a lot to a lot of
