chi chi izundu reports. going to take a locating photograph. these are just some of the examples of what melanoma skin cancer can look like. and according to cancer research uk, the number of cases of this serious and often most dangerous form of the disease is on the rise. rates of melanoma have increased by almost a third over a decade, from 21 to 28 per 100,000 people between 2007—2009 and 2017-2019. it's more common in the elderly. among those aged over 80, there was a 57% rise, while amongst those aged 25—49, there was a 7% increase. 17,000 melanoma cases every year are preventable, with almost nine in ten caused by too much ultraviolet radiation. and one source of that uv radiation comes from the sun, damaging skin cells and causing cancer. we think that there are a few different reasons for this record high of melanoma skin cancer cases. the main one being too much exposure to ultraviolet or uv radiation from the sun and sunbeds, which is why it's so important to take care in the sun. but there are other factors at play as well. here in the uk, we have an ageing population, and age is a big risk factor for cancer. we also have a growing population, so when we have more people, we're going to see more cases. another reason the figures are up is because people are getting better at spotting abnormalities and going to the gp. last month, experts revealed a game—changing jab is being trialled on british patients, which has dramatically reduced the risk of melanoma returning. but prevention is key. in order to stay safe, apply generously high factor sunscreen often, cover up and avoid the sun between 11am—3pm. chiy, and a lot of those were covered in the vt that you just ran. but the main one is too much exposure to ultraviolet — or uv — radiation, mostly from the sun, but also from sunbeds. actually around nine in ten cases of melanoma skin cancer could be prevented by enjoying the sun safely, but that's not all. there's also an ageing population so, as we get older, there's more and more time for that damage in our cells that can lead to cancer to build up, and that's going to increase our risk. and there's also a growing population, which means more cases. and, as well, people are generally, we think, much more aware of the signs and symptoms of melanoma, and that means that if they spot something unusual for them, they're more likely to talk to their doctor and receive a diagnosis. what is the advice to people? and what are people not doing enough of that they should be doing? so my advice is that there are key three steps to sun safety. the first one is spend time in the shade, especially

chi chi izundu reports. obesity is considered a growing health problem in the uk, because alongside it can come other health complications. and one treatment — a weight—loss drug offered on the nhs only from last year — could help reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. a new study — in part paid for by the company which makes one of the drugs, ozempic — is suggesting that the medication could cut the risk of heart attacks and stroke. scientists followed more than 17,500 people from 41 countries with an average age of 62. all were either overweight or obese, didn't have type two diabetes, but did have a history of cardiovascular problems. half were given a dose of the drug, the other half a placebo. the report suggests that anti—obesity medications such as ozempic and wegovy appear to cut the risk of heart attacks and strokes, regardless of how much weight people lose. whilst this study still has to be fully reviewed, experts are describing its findings as a game—changer, and could potentially change clinical practice like other drugs taken to help cardiovascular conditions. i think it's a really important discovery, and it's an important change because it's the sort of thing we got with statins. when we — in the �*90s, when statins came in, we finally figured out that there was a drug class that would change the biology of this disease to benefit a lot of people. ozempic was originally used to help type two diabetes sufferers, but demand for it has seen shortages in recent months, leaving patients struggling to get their prescriptions. why these drugs are potentially helping fight things like heart disease is not yet fully known. scientists think it could be related to inflammation. and there are other chronic diseases they also think this drug could help. chiing to the author of that report later in the programme. but nowjon has more of the day's news. thanks, sally. as ukraine struggles to hold back a major russian incursion near its second—largest city, the us secretary of state has arrived in the country to show america's continuing support. a new front has opened up near kharkiv, and ukraine has admitted that russian forces are starting to surround the border town of vovchans�*k, with local officials saying the fighting has been heavy. america's top diplomat is expected to meet president volodymyr zelensky and other officials. here's our ukraine correspondent, james waterhouse. shouting. these communities are used to russia being close — but not this close. forfour days, bombs have rained down here, and the window to leave is shrinking. thousands have been forced to escape — and counting.
