the chief executive of antibiotic research uk — professor colin garner — has been speaking to bbc radiorpinned nearly all modern medicine. we couldn't have effective cancer treatments or organ transplantation or hip replacements without effective antibiotics. and so, resistance could threaten our ability to treat patients effectively. so it is a very important problem and enter the pleased to hear matt hancock has launched this new initiative which is part of the uk's five—year research strategy. it's be welcomed. medical professionals like yourself have been warning about this some time but why is it that we have become resistant to antibiotics, what's going on? the reason we've become resistant is that bugs have been around on this planet for about 2,000,000,000-3,000,000,000 years, they've developed a good defence mechanisms to protect themselves against toxins thrown at them. and so antibiotic bugs just regard as another toxin, they try and develop mechanisms to evade the effects of the antibiotics. so the more antibiotics are used by us for treating infections and indiscriminate, t

cancer research uk has launched a two-year trial of this new device.opsy. the goal behind the new advice is to find out if exhaled molecules can be useful for cancer detection. several illnesses are known to create signature smells from the body like typhoid fever reportedly smells like baked bread. while the breath of diabetics reportedly has the aroma of acetone or rotten apples. >>> china says it made history today with the first ever landing on the far side of the moon. china central television says the country's lunar explorer touched down on the moon's largest and oldest impact crater. the far side of the moon is relatively unexplored. the landing is considered a huge milestone for china as it attempts to position itself as a leading space power. >> announcer: now your accuweather forecast with spencer christian. >>> we'll start with live doppler 7 showing an increase in clouds over the bay area right now. overnight chilly once again, not as cold as last night, but lows inland will drop in the low to mid-30s some spots and tomorrow's highs as clo

professor rebecca fitzgerald, from cancer research uk, says the tests are in the early stages, but thes, you have to really make the tests as easy as possible because often, people are quite reluctant to go to the hospital for checkups if your symptoms are quite subtle, or it may be even before you have symptoms at all. so the test needs to be something ideally that you could do right at the gp's surgery, in a really noninvasive, simple—to—do way. and a breathalyser is so simple and potentially fits the bill really well. you just simply breathe into a mask for ten minutes and collect all those thousands of chemicals in the breath for analysis. it seems a bit of a strange thing that you could carry those markers in the breath but, if you think about it, for example, diabetes, when the sugar levels are very high, you can actually smell that as acetone on the breath. so we have an awful lot of chemicals that travel in our blood, that then cross the barrier into the lungs when exhaled in the breath. so if you can capture those, then you can detect signals for cancer cells that are growing

probably the most important thing that is alarming us is the possibility that the uk will be shut out of big european researcharch projects. why do you think you will be shut out? because if we leave the eu without a deal, we may not be eligible for a major funding through the european union and even if the british government does put in some funding, that is not the same as being a partner in a big consortium that is tackling major problems like cancer and climate change. and just see that one through for us. the impact on the university would be what? the impact on the university would be manifold but in that case it would be about losing a potential for world leading research, but it would also be about recruiting the best minds as students and staff to the uk. it would be about our staff being able to collaborate across europe and movement of staff across europe. lots of people, well, some people let's say, will listen to these comments and say, well, in some ways you are just scaremongering but how do you know this will happen and how do you know the investment will not come from elsewhere? so, obviously

uk. scientists hope it will lead to a simpler, cheaper method of spotting the disease early. this is head of researcht is diagnosed so late so one in four people... and i think theissue one in four people... and i think the issue as well is it is diagnosed later, 60% of people are diagnosed in stages three and four so far too late to get any kind of useful treatment that will really prolong their life let alone cure them, and it's also really... pancreatic cancer is a quick and quick to kill cancer is a quick and quick to kill cancer form and a lot of people simply will not survive without getting the early detection. so why is it so difficult to detect? muster back the symptoms are really subtle, -- the symptoms are really subtle, indigestion, back pain, things that seem innocuous and would not be presented to the gp or maybe misdiagnosed. little hallmarks, indicators of early detection that go undiagnosed, and therefore they are go undiagnosed, and therefore they a re left go undiagnosed, and therefore they are left and a really aggressive cancer form is allowed to progress for a long time, meaning
