moving scenes after that speech by baronessjowell.the earliest—known modern humans to have left africa. a new dating of fossils found in a cave on mount carmel near haifa in northern israel, indicates that they left africa up to 100,000 years earlier than previously thought. 0ur science correspondent pallab ghosh has the details. in the distant past, the first of our kind evolved in africa. our ancestors then left the continent and spread across the globe. just when and how that happened is one of the biggest questions in human evolution. this fragment of a jawbone has shattered the current theory. it's rewritten the story of how we emerged on this planet. the jawbone was discovered, along with stone tools, in the misliya cave in northern israel. a study, published in the general science, shows that it's around 200,000 years old. that's tens of thousands of years older than scientists thought that modern humans first left africa. i think that the whole biological history of our own species should be revised, because if we have modern

sarah has worked closely with baronessjowell and can explain what the proposed medical trials consistt is a very aggressive tumour. it can affect the most amazing part of your body, who you are, and actually for friends and family, it is a very difficult disease to live with, and suffer through. to be able to have adaptive trials, she was talking about that. can you talk about what that is. u nfortu nately, can you talk about what that is. unfortunately, there are very few treatments for brain cancer, and more often than not, you will hear a —— see a health care professional, and they will say, i am very sorry, you have a brain tumour, and they send you home and reginald well. that is not good enough. what dame tessa jowell is saying is that we need different ways of treating cancer, and new trials. traditional trials don't work, they take too long, and they are very expensive. an adaptive trial can test a newjob quickly and when it doesn't work, it switches, jobs that one and tries a new one. for patients, it is a new way of working. so, in a sense, moving one from —— from one trial

baronessjowell told peers of her treatment for brain cancer after her diagnosis last year, as helenaar! thank you very much indeed... in front of a captivated house, baroness jowell said today was not about politics but patience. she spoke frankly about her own cancer diagnosis last year. i got into a taxi but i couldn't speak. i had two powerful seizures. i was taken to hospital. two days later, i was told that i had a brain tumour. a glioblastoma multiforme, or gmb. today, she appealed on behalf of all cancer patients for new treatments to be made available on the nhs. the speeding up of clinical trials and better medical cooperation. they need to know that they have a community around them, supporting and caring, being practical and kind, while doctors look at the big picture and we can all be a part of the human sized picture. tonight, the government agreed to look at her suggestions and at the end, she made a final appeal. what gives a life meaning is not only how it is lived, but how it draws to a close. i hope that this debate will give hope to other cancer patients like me, s

well, now baronessjowell is calling for new cancer treatments and trials to be available on the nhs.nd important approach may be put into the "too difficult" box. but i also have such great hope, so many cancer patients collaborate and support each other every day, they create that community of love and determination. that they find each other every day. all we now ask is that doctors and health systems learn to do with the same. and for us to work together. to learn from each other. in the end, what gives a life meaning is not only how it is lived, but how it draws to a close. i hope that this debate will give hope to other cancer patients, like me, so that we can live well together with cancer. notjust dying of it. all of us for longer. scientists at cardiff university in wales are developing a more advanced ea rly—warning alarm system for tsunamis. it uses sound waves, here's how it works. you can see the sea bed shaking with an earthquake. the current early warning system for a tsunami uses a worldwide network of buoys — here you see it, it relies on the tsunami physically reachi

applause sitting on the row in front of baronessjowell in the lords yesterday was lord adonis, a formert's the most amazing scene i've ever experienced in the house of lords and i've been there for 13 years. it's not just and i've been there for 13 years. it's notjust that and i've been there for 13 years. it's not just that tessa is a and i've been there for 13 years. it's notjust that tessa is a very great friend of so many of us in the lords, but that has speech was so powerful and so moving, and she talked about her inexperience suffering from a brain tumour and how she was diagnosed and all the treatment she has gone through since, and what she has done with others who are battling cancer in the same way. just sort of waves of emotion swept over the house on all sides, and as you saw in the clip, at the end, something that has never happened in the lords before took place, which was a standing ovation. the lords, i assure you, is one of the most subdued assemblies in the world. some mumbling is all you usually get but she aroused affection and emotion and what she said at the end a
