He did say in the past that china had been able to use its the past that china had been able to use its leverage with russia to this garage use its leverage with russia to this garage better from using Nuclear Weapons garage better from using Nuclear Weapons in ukraine. But he said he spoke weapons in ukraine. But he said he spoke very weapons in ukraine. But he said he spoke very clearly and at some length spoke very clearly and at some length about us concerns regarding chinas length about us concerns regarding chinas support for the russian invasion chinas support for the russian invasion of chinas support for the russian invasion of ukraine and it seems now that washington Is Giving Beijing a chance that washington Is Giving Beijing a chance to that washington Is Giving Beijing a chance to do something about it. And if they chance to do something about it. And if they dont chance to do something about it. And if they dont it could be a cause for going if they dont it could be a cause for going concerns. He did mention other for going concerns. He did mention other things. They are already cooperating, he praised china for cracking cooperating, he praised china for cracking down on Making Precursors for a drug cracking down on Making Precursors for a drug that is a scourge in the us.

Te 3 interesting, one thing that Antony Blinken said they didnt come up with the president people who have followed the story know that theres going to be a ban on tick tock. It theres going to be a ban on ticktack ticktock. It is smart for the Chinese Government ticktock. It is smart for the Chinese Government not ticktock. It is smart for the Chinese Government not to | ticktock. It is smart for the Chinese Government not to mention ticktocic Chinese Government not to mention tick tock. They are trying to say that they tick tock. They are trying to say that they dont have to provide the chinese that they dont have to provide the Chinese Government with any information.

Another key thing that antony forward. Another key thing that Antony Blinken criticised china for was that Antony Blinken criticised china for was that china is leading the world with electric vehicles and that this is unfair with electric vehicles and that this is unfair competition. He wanted sending is unfair competition. He wanted sending to be done about this. These types sending to be done about this. These types of sending to be done about this. These types of moves will hurt the us economy types of moves will hurt the us economy. Us workers could be put out of a top economy. Us workers could be put out of a job. Thats the sort of rhetoric of a job. Thats the sort of rhetoric that we would expect from the bride rhetoric that we would expect from the bride administration in the runup the bride administration in the runup to the bride administration in the run up to the election. Us job losses run up to the election. Us job losses because of the impact of chinese losses because of the impact of chinese goods in the us market. Thank chinese goods in the us market. Thank you chinese goods in the us market. Thank you for now. Now to what experts are calling a potential game changer in the treatment of skin cancer. The worlds first personalised vaccine for melanoma the deadliest form of skin cancer has begun being tested in britain. Steve young, one of the first nhs patients to take part in the trial for whats hoped will be a Game Changing treatment. Its for melanoma the deadliest of all the skin cancers and it aims to help those at the highest risk of a recurrence. Steve was given the experimental treatment at University College hospital in london. He had a melanoma removed from his scalp last summer. He told us the trial is his best chance of keeping cancer free. I feel. 0k. Someone told me ive got survivor syndrome because i actually feel guilty i feel guilty that im completely fine and yet im getting all this attention and im. You know, i get to have a scan and an mri every three months when i know that people are waiting such a long time. And i. I genuinely feel kind of awful about that. But. Ijust really hope that whats happening with the trial and the results they get are going to be good news, and its going to go on to do amazing things. The Personalised Treatment works by identifying proteins unique to each persons cancer, and then uses the same technology which created some covid vaccines called mrna to prime the Immune System to attack the cells. Its being used in combination with another cancer drug, and previous results suggest together it almost halved the risk of recurrence or death after three years. Its a very specific treatment, highly personalised to each individuals tumour, and its a really exciting way of hopefully turning the patients own Immune System against their cancer. And it looks like it could be a really effective therapeutic approach. This trial will really prove thats the case or not. This is an international trial. Uk doctors are hoping to recruit at least 70 patients across centres including london, manchester, edinburgh and leeds. Sophie hutchinson, bbc news.

Parent patients with melanoma will have the melanoma removed. If they are at significant risk of recurrence, then the melanoma that gets removed will be analysed in the genetic material broken down and we can identify the targets in the Melanoma Cells that are particular to the Melanoma Cells are particular to the Melanoma Cells are not to the normal cells. Because the cancer cells come from ourselves. There is a very clever algorithm that predicts which ones are most likely to stimulate the Immune System. It is then turned into a signal which is injected into the muscles. The same as you would have a covert vaccine. Haifa have a covert vaccine. How significant have a covert vaccine.

We have heard from the justices that a majority dont believe that there is this widespread blanket immunity. Present has made a claim that there is. They could be some kind of middle ground. If they rule in that way, this case then gets tracked down to a lower court which would snowball, delaying a bigger case which is going on which is that of election interference.

This story began last Saturday Night with an israeli air strike on the family home. They were going after hamas operatives. The missile hit the family home and killed babys father, her three year old sister and her mother was badly imaged and was rushed to a local hospital. That was very short so these dramatic scenes. The baby was born through a cesarean section and doctors tried to resuscitate her, tapping her chest to simulate reading, using an air pump. Then placing her in an incubator. She looked as if there was a fragment of hope amid this terrible tragedy, that some life would survive. Of course, we should point out at that time that the doctor said her condition was critical. An Emergency Doctor at the hospital said that if she survived, we now know that that didnt happen. The babyjoins the 16 other children who were killed that weekend in air by israel. We are told also by Family Members that they would have been more than willing and indeed happy at the prospect of adapting her. The maternal grandmother of the baby, when a journalist visited her, she was scrolling through photographs of her daughter, speaking directly to her daughter, speaking directly to her daughter, speaking directly to her daughter and promising that she would take care of the child along with the paternal grandmother and also saying in that interview that she will see the baby in heaven. This is how the story ends, i am sad to say. The baby died although the doctors did their best to save her. This is the live scene outside trump towers in new york. Donald trump is about to leave for the lower court in manhattan for the continuation of his has many trial. We expect to hear from the National Enquirer publisher to answer more questions about his efforts to suppress damaging information about donald trump during the 2016 election day with us on bbc news.
