To prove now where pope francis is visiting communities affected by illegal gold mining in the amazon the leader of the Catholic Church is in the city of where so maldonado in the east of the country where hes been greeted by Indigenous Leaders eighty one year olds making a speech on the importance of protecting the environment. Mariana some chez is in lima forest hi there mariana so the popes in the amazon why did you choose to meet indigenous communities. Well julie the pope was a champion of the environment he wrote in two thousand and fifty nine in cyclical letter about how important is for the planet to be protected to and for mankind to call. It destruction in the planets so he said the Amazon Region in the aerial view of the us because this is perhaps one of the most devastated areas in the world by gold mining and he made indigenous communities he said he told this is he still meeting that in this community telling them that they have never been a so endangered in their lifetime us now because a large great interests are pressuring to put their hands on all in the burrow and mining and so and so. And so the pope is very interested and its a very important trip for him to be there i was with some members of these communities a few days ago and they were telling me that for them one of the most important things that they were going to tell the pope was that they wanted the pope to pressure authorities to help them clean up the rivers because really the rivers are so important for these communities they live on the fish the fish are contaminated by chemicals and other pollutants that these illegal gold miners throw into the rivers so this is a very important trip for the pope and for the. Communities that the pope is still going to meet visit an orphanage before he comes back to lima to meet president. Spend the night before he hits out to a Northern City again tomorrow im marianne of this been criticism and of course full test during the visit because of the sexual abuse cases by clergymen how approved the ins reacting to that. Well there is a house of course been a lot of. Criticism has overshadowed this visit not only here but especially a lot of protests there and just just before the pope was taking off from chile he met with reporters and scientists with bishop bottles suspect of protecting paedophiles she lived and then then in bed who is the leader of this very powerful religious Organization Called the soul at least unique living in rome is protected by the vatican at the vatican has told is we see that enough to come back to and only a week before the pope started this trip this trip he ordered the vatican to intervene the celebi soon so even though the pope has met with victims and has met with families of victims people are very critical of the pope and here they are saying that this is all this talk about making the Church Better and protecting people from sexual predators is only politics and that the pope should be doing much more than essential to their lives from. Germany said chancellor Angela Merkel says shes optimistic that the social democrats will give the go ahead for Coalition Talks to take place she was speaking on a trip to paris for talks with frances president called shes been unable to form a new Coalition Since germanys election back in september. I understand why especially in france people are waiting for us to form a new government in the negotiations we have put europe on the agenda to make clear once again the specially in terms of being able to take action in europe it is very important for germany to have a stable government. Scientists in the us have developed a universal blood test capable of detecting eight different types of cancer that the aim of the test which is called cancer c. Is to catch the disease early and of course save lives but experts say more Research Still needs to be done paul brennan reports. The scientists here at John Hopkins University in baltimore analyzed more than a thousand patients who chose symptoms of cancer to see whether this new test would accurately confirm the diagnosis and they were excited to discover that for certain tumors the council to seek test was up to ninety eight percent accuracy and the same test was effective for eight different types of cancer clued in five which no early screening currently exists heres how it works as a chuma forms and grows the cancerous cells within it change reproduce and die sometimes chooses shed cells that can get into the bloodstream and when cancer cells die they can also release d. N. A. And other fragments that also get into the blood cancer seek is described as a liquid biopsy and analyzes a patients blood sample for traces of that cancer d. N. A. And identifying which genes in mutations are most active can identify the type of cancer and the best treatment the importance of early diagnosis of cancer cant be understated for example in the case of bile counts Ovarian Cancer and Breast Cancer ninety percent of those diagnosed early will continue to live for more than five years but the survival rate if its caught at an advanced stage is much lower in the case of a variant cancer is just five percent in the u. K. Cancer specialists are giving a cautious welcome to the findings this is a very exciting first step along the way to such a blood test theyve shown that you can pick up a toy any traces of the cancer in the blood. But potentially has the ability to pick up cancers early on and identify patients for surgery but it is a first step another specialist though wants to see the test accuracy improved stage one when we want to diagnose these cancers this is. As you do with these white glue its just about forty foot so that is something. That might hold this test but. When we try to think about the main thing the baltimore study worked with patients who had already shown symptoms of cancer the true breakthrough will happen if this test can identify cancer before the symptoms a match that could really make a massive impact on survival rates this test is one step closer to the paul brennan aljazeera london.
