Brings view yeah I would like to outline a number of principles which I will never violate as a president of Ukraine and with which he Korean people will never agree that Ukraine is a unitary state there can be no compromises on settlement of the situation in eastern Ukraine under the conditions of territorial concessions by Ukraine within its internationally recognized borders as to Mr Putin said he wanted a change in Ukraine's constitution to give special status to the Donbass region this is the world news from the b.b.c.

George Laura the American engineer who developed the bar code has died at the age of 94 the marking made up of black bars of varying thickness and a 12 digit number can be found in almost all products in western shops it can be scanned quickly identifying the product and its price the idea was pondered by a fellow i.b.m. Employee Norman woodland but it was not on 2 nor were developed a scanner that could read codes digitally that it took off i.b.m. Launched the barcode in $973.00 and the 1st transaction to place the following year b.b.c. News he was listening to the news room from the b.b.c. World Service with me Alex Ritson 13 people are now presumed dead following the White Island folk a no eruption in New Zealand in the past hour police have said they will launch a criminal investigation is the deputy police commissioner John Thames so we'll look into. If there's anyone criminally responsible for the deaths and injuries it's an it's early days yet so we're just going to have to work through the evidence talk to people and conduct the investigation to Pete Watson a spokesperson for the Department of Health Meanwhile gave an update on those injured of the 31 people who were injured 25 an hour now 4 regional beings units like headed in Christchurch hot fairly Waikato and middle more hospital 6 patients were transferred to total or and awkward they're being treated will be transferred to one of our regional beings units as soon as there is capacity all of our beings units are now full to capacity Jamie Morton as a science reporter from The New Zealand Herald and he told us about the kind of eruption that took place on White Island if you've seen pictures of what the Volcker looks like now it's bison kaput. And there very thick layer of etch what we had was what volcanologists call a free actually eruption so you've essentially got magma in the volcano sitting quite near the surface the he can guess of it magma interacts with the ground and surface water at the top what that creates is basically Suge or a very hot current of stain and particles that just explode in a matter of seconds as didn't have any Asli from the vent surges outward and you could think of it as a very this fast moving wall of particles and we this fire's out it's now been confirmed that out of 47 people who were on the island at the time of the eruption more than half were Australians correspondent Phil Mercer joins us live from Australia for more on this Phil what's the latest response from the authorities from people there. Well Australia is like many other people around the world a country trying to digest news of this awful event across the Tasman Sea in New Zealand as you say those 47 people on White Island at the time of the eruption 24 were from Australia there were others from New Zealand Germany the United Kingdom the United States China and Malaysia but it seems that Australia has been hit the hardest among international visitors the prime minister of New Zealand has been addressing parliament just Cinta and said that in particular our family in Australia has been heavily impacted and she said that we feel the pull of our bond acutely at this time that is in reference to the very close ties between these trends Tasman neighbors Australia and New Zealand's we know that a family of 4 from Sydney for example is among the missing We also understand that the author it is believed that among the dead are Australians too so the prime minister of Australia Scott Morrison has expressed his sadness at this tragedy the full extent of which is still to be revealed we've now heard that there's a criminal investigation being launched into this tragedy presumably that will be focusing on the 2 companies 2 companies which were clearly operating. People from Australia. That's right Australia is sending police officers to help with Victim Identification Australia has expertise in this area it has helped with natural disasters and accidents in other parts of the world so Australian officers heading to New Zealand to help with the grisly task of identifying the missing That is when search teams Alex deem it safe enough to go onto a White Island it has been considered that New Zealand's most active volcano is too unsafe and too unstable for those recovery teams to go in to start recovering those bodies we also understand that Australians injured in the eruption several will be brought back to Australia for treatment so this is an international effort and Australia trying to do its bit to help New Zealand at this terrible terrible time Phil Mercer in Australia thank you for a summit on the conflict in eastern Ukraine has ended up with an agreement not for the 1st time to properly implemented a cease fire before the end of the year Ukraine's president President Vladimir the learns his meeting with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin in Paris appears not to have led to much more than that but it does mark the 1st time the 2 leaders have had such face to face talks the German and French leaders were also President here's what President Emmanuel Macra had to say. In film usual dear to. Me our discussions allowed to progress on all of these points to subjects of disengagement the topic of prisoners the clarification of the cease fire and an agenda of confidence on the political evolution of the following months speaking as a news conference after the summit President Selenski was keen to make clear his own firm position insisting no can. Sessions over territory were possible because each or near future Crystal did have brings Vaguely yeah I would like to outline a number of principles which I will never violate as a president of Ukraine and with which he Korean people will never agree that Ukraine is a unitary state there can be no compromises on settlement of the situation in eastern Ukraine under the conditions of territorial concessions by Ukraine within its internationally recognized borders care of Correspondent Jonah Fisher was at the talks in Paris they may be able to dampen things down in some areas and you know the level of violence does go up and down along the front line and at different areas but as long as there's no progress in terms of the sequencing of what might be a deal for eastern Ukraine involving a vote in the separate is tell there is a sort of a special autonomous status for those areas and then Ukraine regaining control of the border with Russia as long as that that has not been agreed upon and no progress is being made well it's hard to see the cease fire is truly going to hold because the 2 positions appear fairly irreconcilable president Selenski says there can be no concessions on territory whereas President Putin says there has to be a rig Sam a nation of the status of this land the essential problem is that Ukraine does not want to allow elections and a special status for these parts of eastern Ukraine without a car Stein guarantee that there will be no more Russian backed military forces in these areas and that Ukraine will have control of the border between these territories and Russia and effectively been able be able to stop Russia sending in more men and more military equipment into these rebel held areas briefly what to France and Germany take out of this I notice at the end of the meeting both angle Americal and Emmanuel macro made a beeline for President Putin leaving the Autumn is a learned skill in his own yet was a raw. The awkward end to this press conference which ended in the early say pal is no sign of any sort of report or interaction between the presidents if you crane and Russia and I think that move towards me Putin at the end by Emmanuel and Angela Merkel was really a step to try and make sure that there was a smooth ending and that there wasn't any Let's see all could interaction between our president Selenski and President Putin perhaps an attempted handshake that might go wrong or something of that nature I think they wanted to just get everyone off get this would obviously been a quite difficult event get it over with the promise that they might meet again in 4 months time instead of having anything which would look particularly bad in front of the cameras Jenna Fischer in 2017 thousands of her hinge of Muslims in Myanmar were killed in an army crackdown u.n.

Questions are being asked about medical guidelines for treating a common form of heart disease after a b.b.c. Investigation found there based in part on a flawed clinical trial published data from the trials suggested that patients who received a stent a small mash Chub used to hold open narrow arteries have roughly the same risk of heart attack as patients that had open heart surgery but data that was not published shows heart attacks were actually far more common for people with stents Professor Nick Freemantle was part of a committee that used the trials findings to recommend guidelines for Europe's cardiologists and heart surgeons he now says his recommendation would have been different if you'd seen all the data the result of making the wrong recommendation here is that patients who have received stance. Will have to hide who otherwise would have lived for longer survive for monger had they had open heart surgery the B.B.C.'s Deborah Cohen has been following the story the guidelines published last year recommend that either heart surgery or the insertion of stents could be used on low risk patients with the condition left main coronary artery disease a clinical trial called Excel found they were as effective as each other in preventing heart attacks strokes and death but unpublished a tip from the trial has now raised doubts about this heart attacks can be defined in a number of different ways the figures show that under one definition patients in the trial here were given stents had 80 percent more heart attacks after a 3 year period the b.b.c. Has also seen warnings from the trial Safety Board about the high mortality rate in patients with stents information which researches didn't pass on to those during the guidelines a further paper published the ca showed that 10 percent of those who had open heart surgery died after 5 years in comparison with 13 percent of. Those given stents the trial was sponsored by the u.s. Stent manufacturer Abbott the company is now distancing itself from the study but the research is say The standing by their conclusions stands can be lifesaving for some patients and the professional body for cardiologists say it continues to back the European guidelines Deborah Karen and Deborah has written a fuller article for the b.b.c.
