researchers at leicester university may have come up leicester university may have come up with just been asking for. virus that kills infections like antibiotics. it attaches itself to a summer nella bug, then injects the dna, and makes the summer nella harmless. and if that stops superbugs developing in animals, it will reduce the risk to people. many bacteria that we cannot treat now with antibiotics because they have become resistant. using this natural enemy, for specific diseases, could really change the way that we treat infection in the future. so far, they have shown that it works. and it has become quite powder. the next stage, to feed this to the pigs, to see if it works in practice. if it does, it could replace antibiotics and that could replace antibiotics and that could replace the risk of superbugs developing on farms. trials are due to begin at the end of this year. if they are successful, doctors could see of the virus could be used to treat people. the sacked head of the fbi james comey has testified in the us senate about his dealings with president trump, and russ

now researchers at leicester university are developing an alternative way of treating diseases in pigsped the findings will have benefits for humans too. nearly half the antibiotics used in britain are given to livestock to keep them healthy. simon watchorn raised his pigs outside so he doesn't use a great deal. but indoor intensive farms do, so if their animals become infected with drug—resista nt superbugs, then the infection could be passed on to people if the meat isn't properly cooked. there was a suggestion that resistant bacteria in animals might be passed to humans, and if we've got another tool in our tool box where we can deal with resistant bacteria — whether it be in the animal population or the human population — that's got to be a gain. researchers at leicester university may have come up with just the tool farmers are asking for — of virus called a phage that kills infections just like antibiotics. the phage attaches itself to a salmonella bug. the virus then injects it with its dna and makes the salmonella harmless. and if it stops superbugs developing in animals, it wi

leicester. you own one house? yes, but we're paying a mortgage on it. on the university tuition why are you planning to spend £56 billionlionaires, you want to pay their university tuition fees, when they can afford it? a highly educated population contributes to the good of society for all. i was lucky enough to go to university before we had fees. ijust don't know what i would have done if i'd come out with all those debts which young people come out of university with today. you've said you will give nhs staff a pay rise, how much, what percentage of pay rise? a percentage rise is about half a billion, 2% rise is about £1 billion, so we think it's affordable. we think it can be done. is that cost part of your £37 billion going into the nhs? that is part of the money going into the nhs, yes, but we think it's deliverable, based on the calculations we have made. ok, two years ago you failed to vote against the government's welfare bill, and that was the bill that cut the benefit cap from 26,000 to 23,000, that abolished legally—binding child—poverty targets, that cut housing benefit to the young. why didn't you vote ag

but researchers at the university of bristol have found the gender gap opens much earlier in the first years of primary school. brea kfast‘s tim muffett is in leicesterher schools to it as well. we will talk to the kids in a moment. you are an ambassador for women in sport. why is this happening? why are girls becoming less interested in sport, even in primary school? even at that young age confidence is a massive factor. it's age confidence is a massive factor. it‘s not just age confidence is a massive factor. it‘s notjust the age confidence is a massive factor. it‘s not just the fact that all is a naturally driven the sport, because there are so many more role models, but it‘s a confidence thing. they wa nt to but it‘s a confidence thing. they want to feel they can join in. simply catching the ball can sometimes be more of a challenge, so we have to build confidence and work together to try to make sure we keep active. according to this research, from the ages of five and six the rate at which girls spend more time doing nothing increases faster than boys. what can be done? i don't think parents realise just how little physical activity their child
