recent figures from the office of national statistics show that in the past decade, there has been aa—year—olds who smoke cigarettes from around a quarter to one in ten. in comparison to tobacco smoke, vaping is substantially less harmful. the harmful chemicals or cancer causing chemicals are a fraction of that in cigarette smoke. but if you've never smoked, our lungs are meant to breathe fresh air. and so if you're inhaling vape, it will be doing harm. what that harm will be, though, is still not clear, with experts saying longer term data is needed. alison freeman, bbc news. the argentine president, javier milei, has vetoed a law that would have increased funding to the country's cherished public university system. he carried out his threat hours after thousands of people joined student—led demonstrations in several cities in defence of higher education. the veto sends the law back to congress, which could overturn it. mr milei took office in december promising to slash argentina's deficit and curb inflation. his austerity policies have hit living standards. let's ta ke let's take

latest figures for last year from the office for national statistics say the rate has fallen to an average numbers? it�*s a global trend — women are having fewer children than their mothers. but it may only be partly out of choice. let�*s take a look back at england and wales over the last 90 years, and the trend has been one of falling fertility rates, particularly with more effective contraception, equal pay, and more women than men going to university. by last year, women were having fewer than 1.5 children each. however, surveys suggest that�*s fewer children than many actually want. partly because economic forces are against them. rising childcare costs can take up a quarter of a couple�*s pay. and rising property prices mean most people are now over 35 before they can get on the housing ladder. meanwhile, the gender pay gap for women opens up after they have children. all of this may make people hesitate before starting or adding to a family. along with higher life expectancy, the lower birth rate is changing the face of our population. these 100 dots represent the uk population as i

the latest figures from the office for national statistics show the uk's population has grown by more— with net migration being the main cause. for the first time in almost five decades — not counting the pandemic — deaths outnumbered births in 2023. our home editor mark easton is here. the population of the uk has reached 68.3 million people. but that big number doesn't tell the whole story. when you interrogate the data, you find that in the latest annual figures there were 16,300 more deaths than births across the uk. it wasn't an even picture. in scotland there were 19,000 more deaths than births, in wales it was 9,500 more. in northern ireland and england, births still outnumber deaths — just. outside of the pandemic, what's called negative natural change hasn't happened in britain since 1976. what's going on? well, the short answer is that we are producing fewer of these. the average woman is now having just 1.49 babies, far too few to maintain the population. and, of course, the country is also getting older — which means more funerals. but despite all that, the uk population i

as you were saying, the issue that both sides face is that we are in a statistical tie, nationally, andamala harris is. what is interesting is notjust that she was at a church but that she was at a church but that she was a black church. that is about energising a particular section of the democratic vote, the black vote, which is big for the democrats in cities like pittsburgh and philadelphia. what they are trying to do is energise those voters to drive up the vote in the big cities in pennsylvania where they know they are strongest, to try and offset donald trump us strength out on a more rural areas of pennsylvania where he is stronger, and there hoping that by driving up their vote in the cities and gaining some votes in the suburbs and a few in the rural areas, that will be enough to tip the balance in somewhere like pennsylvania which is perhaps the keir starmer those key swing states. —— the most key of those states. trump in new york later — not a swing state — why there? he is at madison square garden which is perhaps the most iconic venue in new york city. there is a number o

we have been in a statistical tie nationally and in the battleground states the entire time. there has not been volatility in this race. in the period of time from the democratic convention through the debate, through to now, just art with the democratic debate. harris is up three points in the national polling you have the debate where she slaughtered donald trump. we had a second assassination attempt on donald trump or breaking on the middle east. you have the fed lowering interest rates for the first time in years. i can name 10 other big things that happened. she still up by three supposedly in the national polls. one of the most helpful things that has happened the last couple of days because of this panic is the harris campaign finally allowed -- to go out and talk about the data yesterday. i will tell you, david is a person and he fights for his team. if you read his assessment of the data i think it's as clear, both sophisticated and clear eyed as anything anybody could say. and the two campaigns do not disagree about this. what he basically says is, if you see a pol

. >> the office for national statistics estimates that the total population grew by 1% in just a yeart let me bring your attention to what the former prime minister, boris johnson, said only this weekend on gb news about what happened after the pandemic. here it is. >> we came out of the pandemic because those numbers we agreed. but what happened was the migration advisory committee did allow a lot of people in because we had a total crisis with the shelves not being stacked and nobody to drive the fuel lorries and a real crisis in the labour market, which you will remember was driving inflation. yes. so what happened was that in that particular year, the migration advisory committee , i think advisory committee, i think unquestionably allowed too many people to come in. and the numbers for social care and for some of the other categories were way too high. but that was a decision taken by agencies of the uk government control , which the uk government control, which we decided to do. it was a mistake . mistake. >> well hang on, he's the prime minister . >> well hang on, he's the prim

statistic. imagine our nation's outrage if two fully loaded jumbo jets crashed each day killing. all aboard. yet that's the same number of americans that cigarets kill every 24 hours. sadly, this deadly habit begins with our kids each day. 3000 children will begin smoking in many cases, they become hooked quickly and develop a lifelong addiction that is nearly impossible to break. for the past 30 years, a series of surgeons general have issued comprehensive reports outlining the dangers these children will eventually face. long cancer, heart disease, emphysema, bladder cancer and stroke are only some of the diseases tobacco causes. and now we know that kids will face a serious health threat even if they don't smoke environmental tobacco, smoke is a class-a carcinogen, and it sickens more than a million kids every year. in fact, five former surgeons general of the united states have said before this subcommittee this year that the most important legislation in disease prevention that we could enact would be restrictions on smoking in public places. this subcommittee will soon act on that legi

now, the numbers produced by the office for national statistics have sparked fresh calls for much stricters this now with my good pal. and that's the research director at the centre for migration control, robert bates. robert, welcome to the show. let's start with the bafics show. let's start with the basics. more people are dying in britain than are born. so our indigenous population is on the wane . that's a fact. and yet the wane. that's a fact. and yet the numbers are going up. they've gone up by 1.2 million in 8 years. and that's solely down to net migration. we've got a problem with our borders . we problem with our borders. we can't control them. tell us how we got to this position . we got to this position. >> we've got a huge problem with our borders and let's be perfectly clear about what these figures actually tell us. >> they tell us that the reason why there is a crisis in the housing market, the reason why people are struggling to get gp appointments, the reason people can't get their children into the school places that they want is because of immigration. we've had for far t

nation. this is the statistic. we are here tonight. to remember that person. ladies and government. it is an honor for me now to introduce a longtime friend of the commission. chaplain of the united states house of representatives. reverend dr. margaret kitten. >> holy god, hallow this ground, and the ceremony. that we would, by our words, deeds, and presence here, appropriately honor those who have served and fought our country's battles, and now enjoy eternal rest. we pause to think you, as we remember those brave americans that have been worn away from us. those whose names are carved in stone across the globe, and whose likenesses are revealed before us. by this memorial tribute, we bestow you honor to those who showed great courage in the face of tribulation. unwavering loyalty to combat in arms. those who saw the unspeakable side of bodies being broken. those whose minds were numbed by the noises of combat. those whose souls, or assaulted by the ugliness of inhumanity. the hardships they endured, was beyond our imagining. the hard battles they so valiantly waged in trenches an

women already die at the rates that are so unacceptable in pregnancy that this nation should be ashamed by the statisticsyou know it. when congress restores the right to roe v. wade, kamala harris will sign it into law and we can attack these health disparities. we can make sure that every single native woman gets the care she needs and that the men here know the choice should be with you and your family on how those decisions are made. [cheers and applause] now, i got them in my family, you might have them in your family. you know, there's neighbors out there, folks who say, yeah, i don't like trump that much, but i got to tell you we got through four years of him. we can again. that is dangerous. that is dangerous, complacency. that is dangerous, complacency. i appreciate the folks who have come out and are starting to talk. you know, who's talking about donald trump being dangerous. those who know him best. those very people that he said he only hires the best and brightest. those were the people around him. those people as kamala harris said are dialing 911 to the american public. this past week, the

but, you know, while the voters nationally are locked in a statistical tie, you've seen this 51, 49, that kind of stuff. these guys are way over to one side. and that's what's very interesting. we've got to we've got a table that we put up there that gives you an idea of just how one sided this whole thing is. as far as these folks are concerned. you know, you look for harris, 61%. you see, for trump, 30%. these are folks between 29 and 40. and guess what? this is very comparable to what we saw in 2000 when it was 62 to 29. so you put this together, and at least for right now, just a month out, it looks like gen z voters are in the game and very one sided for kamala harris. you're saying it's similar to 2020. exactly. okay, so what what else have you found in this poll? are there more similarities to the previous biden-trump race? more interesting data? kira you know, we talk about the gender gap. we've seen this kamala harris ahead by about 15% with women, donald trump ahead by about 2,012% or so with men. look at the gender gap here okay harris gets the male vote 3 to 2. that's abo

in the discussion of the response time, he mentioned 7 days, according to the statistics published last year by the national standard organization, sometimes less than 7 days for these test results. answers or inspections , but some tests take time, maybe 22 days, 10 days. 11 days is not possible to get out of that schedule, but usually more than 85 are answered in less than 7 days. this time being in the laboratories is related to the equipment related to the testing equipment. these are all accreditations. passing all the requirements of testing , environmental conditions, equipment, knowledge, technical skills , we have no problem in that part. look, out of the 35,000 standards that i mentioned , maybe 2,000 to 3,000 standards are mandatory , and the rest of the standards are incentive standards that the national organization for standards in all the standard compilations of the private sector or related and specialized institutions. in this field , mr. taheri, who is the executive of developing these standards , we do not have some laboratories or some capabilities that we should have in testing some go
