threatens to overwhelm health services around the world, according to research just published in the lancetfound vulnerability to extreme hot weather has risen steadily since 1990, and suggests people in europe and the eastern mediterranean are more at risk from heatwaves because of the high number of older people living in cities. at least 10 people have been killed in an attack on the compound of the british security company gas in kabul. 19 were wounded, including several children. the afghan interior ministry says gunmen stormed the complex after detonating a car bomb outside. the taliban says it carried out the attack. the duke and duchess of cambridge have paid tribute to the five people killed in a helicopter crash at leicester city's ground. william and kate laid flowers and met leicester city players, as well as the family of the club's thai owner, vichai srivaddhanaprabha. he died with four others when the helicopter came down in october. the bank of england is warning of the possibility of an immediate economic crash if the uk leaves the european union without a deal. the governo

to maintain their population size — that's according to a new report out today in the journal the lancetline in the number of children women are having. let's take a look at the numbers. in 1950, women were giving birth to a global average ofjust under five children each. but last year that figure was down to 2.4 children per woman. this study shows that nearly half the countries in the world are not having enough babies to maintain their populations — mainly economically developed nations including most of europe, the us, south korea and australia. there is a huge variation between nations — cyprus has the lowest rate in the world, with women having an average ofjust one child. at the other end of the scale, niger in west africa has a fertility rate of over seven. earlier i spoke work professor christopher murray from the university of washington about his research from the university of washington about his research. we have a compilation of countries in west africa, papua new guinea, haiti, and they have high birth rates and that is an impediment to economic growth, but at the same ti

earlier he'd made little progress in his research and set the project aside in the medical journal the lancet oxford microbiologist howard florey reported that he and his team had succeeded in purifying penicillin and testing it on infected mice flemming had sent florrie a sample of his fungus some years before. now it seemed the other scientists had succeeded in making a breakthrough. and to fight for it was a destiny that contaminated my culture plate in nine hundred twenty eight said it was destiny which led chain and florian one nine hundred thirty eight to investigate penicillin instead of the many other antibiotics it was destiny that time their work to come to fruition in war time and penicillin was most needed stuff. fleming was aware of howard florey his plans to to flee. the united states with the penicillin should it become necessary after lori to leave him some of the drug to test on patients. the war was terrible i didn't want to let it win only people can help people can and sometimes can only destroy. in oxford florrie had tested penicillin on a patient a year earlier but the d

the study was published in the journal lancet diabetes and endocrinology, and it says access to insulinll fall well short of demand. right now, three major manufacturers dominate the insulin market, and the treatment is expensive. if access to the drug remains the same, researchers predict only half of those who need it will be able to get it. researchers hope for initiatives to make life- changing insulin available and affordable.

a report published in the lancet says that in 1950 women were having an average of around five childrenng one child on average. with me is our reporter katie silver, who's been covering the story. so, this was a huge study going from 1950 up until last year. take us through the detail, first of all? they looked at data from across the world, and what they were trying to see, as you say, basically 4.7 children in 1950 was what the average woman was having, now it is down to 2.4. the problem is that the replacement rate is 2.1 children. every woman needs to be having 2.1 children for the population to be going as it is, otherwise they face what is known as a baby bust. the real problem is that we are not going to have enough of a labour forced to sustain the ageing population. what our government is doing or going to do with this data? they have tried lots of different things. around the world, shared a rental leave, that's about getting them back in the workforce and making having babies easier. i investigated this in singapore, they are doing a host of things there. they subsidised dati
