Under the age of 18 die, because of a pregnancy. So we know this is one of the most important things we can do. And, britainsJohanna Konta will be On Centre Court later today, in her attempt to make it to the wimbledon semi finals. And coming up in the sport on bbc news Kyle Sinckler has apologised after being arrested on a night out in auckland following the lions drawn series with new zealand. Good afternoon and welcome to the bbc news at one. The author of a Government Review into Working Practices says hed like to see an end to the cash in hand economy. Matthew taylor, whos a former adviser to tony blair, said cash jobs such as Window Cleaning and decorating are worth up to £6 billion a year, much of it untaxed. His reports recommends that people in the gig economy should have better protections, and that their employers should Pay National Insurance contributions, but doesnt say zero hours contracts got should be banned.

Sums as a brexit bill. And this is the scene on centre court, whereJohanna Konta is aiming to become britains first female Semi Finalist since 1978. Currently, its on serve in the first set. Theresa may has ordered a uk wide inquiry into the use of contaminated Blood Products in the nhs in the 19705 and 805. 2,400 people have died as a result of what the Prime Minister, described as an appalling tragedy which should never have happened. The Health Secretaryjeremy Hunt will meet families of the victims before deciding on the style of the inquiry. Many of those were haemophiliacs who contracted hepatitis c and aids related illnesses. The labour Leaderjeremy Corbyn said the inquiry should have the potential to trigger prosecutions. Jane Frances Kelly reports. For decades, the families of those affected by this scandal have fought for justice. During the 19705 and 805, haemophiliacs and others were infected with hepatitis c and hiv from imported Blood Products. Now, after pressure from mp5
this is maybe not a natural virus. dr. christian anderson is an evolutionary biologist at the scripps research institute. in late january 2020, he wrote to dr. fauci in correspondence that was also later released. we are concerned about this particular virus. we think that what we are looking at here might be different than what we would expect to see just from a naturally-emerged virus. anderson and other scientists worked around the clock, searching for clues deep in the genome. the engineering aspect of this very quickly we realized we just don t have the evidence to support that. even though they initially thought this novel virus had evidence of bioengineering, they subsequently found evidence of similar traits in other known naturally occurring viruses. we debated up one side and down the other and ultimately decided, if you were a human trying to design a really
naturally emerged virus. anderson and other scientists worked around the clock searching for clues deep in the geno. the engineering aspect of this very quickly released we don t have the evidence to support that. even though they initially thought this novel virus had evidence of bio engineering, they subsequently found similar traits in other naturally occurring viruses. we debated and decided if you were a human trying to design a really dangerous coronavirus, you would not design this one. we didn t find any evidence of this virus previously having been sequenced or worked on. maybe there is fragments of the virus, which were used previously in experiments would be quote unquote a smoking gun and we didn t find anything at all. and by march 2020, anderson published the most influential paper in support of the natural
engineering aspect of this, cautioning if you begin to see a lot of cars, if you see helicopters, don t necessarily assume a rescue is under way. but certainly the pieces are falling into place, tamron. kerry sanders, live for us. thank you. some alcohol companies tying pink ribbons to their bottles to promote breast cancer awareness. this despite the fact that drinking increases your risk of cancer. so, is this crossing the line? we re going to talk about it.
