this is the tapanuli orangutan, a species new to science.il now, it was thought that there were just two distinct species of orangutan, sumatran and bornean, like this big male here. but this new study shows that there are actually three — a tiny population has been hidden away and isolated by hundreds of thousands of years of evolution. early dna analysis suggested these animals were peculiar compared to the other sumatran apes. so, scientists embarked on a detailed study examining what they ate, and their unique calls. years of painstaking genetic comparisons enabled scientists to reconstruct the animals‘ evolutionary history. the final piece of the puzzle, though, was tiny but consistent differences between the sumatran and this, the tapanuli orangutan‘s skull. it's an amazing breakthrough, i think. there's only seven, if we exclude ourselves, great ape species. so, adding one to that very small list is spectacular. withjust 800 known individuals, this species will go straight onto the critically endangered list. logging, mining and plans

orangutan, tapanuli a species new to science. >> until now, it was thought they were just 2 distinctspecies of orangutan. sumatran and bornean. but this shows that there are actually three. a tiny population has been hidden away and isolated by hundreds of years of evolution. early dna analysis suggests they were peculiar compared to other apes. scientists embarked on a detailed study examining what they ate and the unique call. years of painstaking genetic comparisons enabled scientists to reconstruct the evolutionary history. the final piece of the puzzle was tiny but consistent differences between the sumatran and this, the tapanuli orangutan skull. >> it is an amazing breakthrough. there are onlyrade eight species -- great ape species, so adding one to this very small list is spectacular. victoria: with 800 individuals, this species will go on to the critically endangered list. logging, mining, and plans for a hydroelectric dam already pose threats to the habitat. the hope is that adding this ape to biology textbooks will ensure survival. victoria gill, bbc news. jane: beautiful

orang—utan skull. the sumatran and this, the tapanuli orang-utan skull.. the mistake was they went public and pictures went everywhere and somebody spotted a discrepancy between the cork and the label? it's very interesting, i‘ve been involved ina number of very interesting, i‘ve been involved in a number of these things where there have been discrepancies between the cork label and the liquid but it is the liquid which has caught them out on this occasion. could you spot the difference between a £1000 and a £7,000 dram, if you drunk it blind? no, that‘s the wrong way to express it. this is being sold as a whiskey, but clearly the bottle has been refilled. there are tests that can be done, scientific tests, which can tell you what the age of the liquid is, not precisely that it can tell you if it was made before or after 1945. all organic materials after 1945. all organic materials after 1945 have traces of radioactivity. so they can absolutely say whether or not. you can find out whether it isa or not. you can find out whether it is a malt whiskey or ble

and the discovery of the tapanuli orangutan has scientists very excited. labour has suspended a former shadow minister from the party because of an allegation of sexual harassment. a party activist claims that kelvin hopkins, the mp for luton north, touched her inappropriately after a political event. there has been no comment yet from mr hopkins. labour says it "ta kes all such complaints extremely seriously and has robust procedures in place". sir michael fallon has denied new allegations about his conduct. allegations made by the leader of the commons, andrea leadsom, had complained about lewd remarks he made in a meeting and this was instrumental in him leaving hisjob. sources close to sir michael said he categorically denied the report. mrs leadsom has declined to comment. we will get reaction to this later from the chair of the women's parliamentary labour party. it's emerged that the ashes of ian brady have been buried at sea after his body was cremated last week. the moors murderer died in may at the age of 79 at ashworth high security hospital in
