Tonight, a report on the first trials of an expensive new space-age cancer therapy developed in Japan. The Heavy Ion Medical Accelerator is designed to kill tumours buried deep inside the body by bombarding them with a high-energy beam of carbon atoms. Plus, reports on a revolutionary new helmet fitted with an airbag which could stop American footballers from breaking their necks in crunch tackles; and a device which could help salmon farmers to keep their fish healthy - a trap that lures sea lice to their deaths.
Presented by Shahnaz Pakravan and Howard Stableford, with Jez Nelson and Vivienne Parry.
