The team at University College london said people should give up rather than cut down because of the risk of heart attack and stroke. Our health and science correspondent James Gallagher reports. Smoking is awful for health, as it greatly increases the risk of cancer, heart attack and stroke. You may expect cutting down from 20 to one a day would lead to a similar reduction in health problems. It does for lung cancer, but a study in the british medicaljournal says some risks remain high. For every 100 middle aged people who had never smoked, five have a heart attack or a stroke each decade. A 20 a day habit increases that risk to a higher 12 heart attacks or strokes. When people cut down drastically and smoke just once a day, they would still have eight heart attacks from strokes. Hea rt attacks or strokes. The team from University College say the solution is to stop completely. Even smoking the odd cigarette here and there or one or two a day still has a major risk of two common and serious disorders. The implication for gps is that when they deliver Smoking Cessation services to their patients they can raise this information to try and encourage smokers in a positive way to completely stop rather than merely cut down. Researchers think even low levels of tobacco smoke may be altering the way the heart, lungs and blood vessels function, leading to the increase in risk.

The fastest land animal on earth. Cheetahs are built for speed and acceleration. But with a sprint they can sustain for less than a minute, every twist and turn of the hunt is critical in a high speed battle. These veterinary scientists have now studied at the finer scale. We see the spectacle of hunting on wildlife documentaries, but here we are capturing thousands of runs and seeing all the things that we havent seen before, building up a full story which means you can build ofa full story which means you can build of a computer model that tells you what the effect is. They are recording the animals position more than 200 times a second. That ca ptu red than 200 times a second. That captured every moment of the chase, revealing just how closely predator and prey match in their athleticism. But it also demonstrated that the hunt is about much more than speed.

The biggest match of kyle edmunds career, how was he doing . He is up against it, facing set point against marin cilic. He has just clinched that first set against kyle edmund in the semifinals of the Australian Open down in melbourne. The biggest challenge of kyle edmunds career. Marin cilic won the 2014 us open. He is the world number four and this is an enormous occasion. Kyle edmund dropped a set during his match with grigor dimitrov, so dont count him out yet. Win or lose, we cannot overstate kyle edmunds achievement here. If is his first grand slam semifinal and he is only the sixth british man to reach the semifinal ofa british man to reach the semifinal of a major. Absolutely fantastic achievement from him, but he is one set down to marin cilic in that semifinal. We will keep you updated on that throughout the morning. He has to come back now, victoria. On that throughout the morning. He has to come back now, victoriam you want to listen to the match, its on five live right now. And we know who is in the womens final . We do, we had a cracking semifinal between world number one simona halep and the former world number one, Angelique Kerber of germany. Some absolutely extraordinary tennis from both women. You can see from the score graphic that the final set went in 9 7 in games, and it was simona halep, the current number one, who goes through to the final in australia for the first time, and she will face Caroline Wozniacki, who herself was world number one a few years ago. She did not win a grand slam when she was on top of the rankings. Simona halep has not yet won one, so they will go head to head for their first grand slam title. And adding to the mix, a bit spicy, the world number one ranking will also be at stake in that final this weekend. And phil neville isnt going to face punishment for those offensive tweets . Punishment for those offensive tweets . No, i think its punishment for those offensive tweets . No, ithink its fair punishment for those offensive tweets . No, i think its fair to say that his appointment as the england womens head coach has not been universally popular. He came in from lots for lots of criticism from lots for lots of criticism from lots of people, people saying that he has only got the job because of who he is, his name, not necessarily because of his experience at any high level in coaching, or because he has any particular interest in the womens game. And that has not been helped by tweets he sent in 201112 which been helped by tweets he sent in 2011 12 which were disparaging towards women. The fa chief executive has said that background checks were carried out but they did not reveal the comment in question. He said those comments would not meet the threshold for issuing a charge. Nevertheless, he says neville will be educated on his responsibilities and will be warned about his conduct in future. I imagine phil neville hopes hisjob as england head coach will become gradually easier than the first 24 hours in the role. Not necessarily expect you never know. Lets talk more about kyle edmund. Heres one of his coaches, mark hilton, on whats helped with this breakthrough at the Australian Open. Well, its come about in a few ways. There have been some obvious improvements to his game but also he has had a lot of changes in the sense of a new Coaching Team, myself and Fredrik Rosengren along with ian prangley, his physical trainer, have come together and obviously made a plan on what needs to improve, what hes doing great, and fortunately over pre season we had a great time together and its showing now at the start of the year. But what is different . Is it that he is physically stronger, mentally stronger, because he has, perhaps cruelly, been called a choker in the past . Yeah, so, iwouldnt have labelled him that, but what he has done is he has improved certain elements of his game, his serve in particular has come on, we made some small technical changes there. But mostly about his decision when hes on the court. He has some huge weapons in his game and it often comes down to those small decisions in big moments and hes been able to execute them on the biggest stage and it gives him a lot of belief so that when he goes out on the court against these best players he is able to execute his best tennis. Does he feel the pressure, will he have felt the pressure going into today . Im sure he has his own expectations. Hes always been aware that his tennis has been very good. Its being able to repeat that on a daily basis, and over the course of the last ten days he has been exceptional at doing that over the course of five sets, in very tough conditions. And what it does is it really solidifies the work that has been done and gives him a lot of confidence moving into the rest of the year. Can he reach the final . Why not . When it gets to this stage in the tournament with only four players there he has a great chance. Hes going to need to play well and cilic is an exceptional player who has won grand slams, been in a final, he beat kyle in the autumn last year and its going to be a tough match but there is no reason why kyle cant out there and win. Its really going to come down to some very small margins today. Thank you, mark, thanks for your time. No problem. Lets speaker amanda owens, world ranked tennis player and leading sports psychologist who currently works with players on the world tour. Also chrisjones, a Tennis Writer and trevor loten, a tennis coach at kyle edmunds old big smile from trevor despite kyle being one set down already. How do you think hes doing, trevor . Hes taking a bit of time to get going and there isa bit of time to get going and there is a medical time out, not sure what the problem is. His comeback from behind in several matches so far so im not unduly worried at this point. Are you, chris . Im worried because if you go for a medical time out and go into the locker room it usually means its somewhere you dont want the rest of the public to see where you are hurting which means around the groin, top of the lake. Hes played tennis in tough conditions in australia. Ijust hope isiekwe he will last, his body has been through an awful lot. Hes done brilliantly to get this far but its not been the best 35 minutes of this tournament, lost the first set 6 2 and now injured. We will update our audience to see what happens. You expect him to come out, chris . Yeah, he will continue, the medical guys around the atp are fantastic and it would take Something Big for kyle not continue. He will give everything. If the injury allows him to keep playing it would be very unusual for him to drop out of a semifinal. He will give absolutely everything. Let me bring in amanda. I mentioned to mark hilton that kyle edmund had been described as a chokerin edmund had been described as a choker in the past and he didnt like that label, absolutely fair enough. Some people have said mentally he hasnt been that resilient but thats changed. What work will the have done for him for that to change . Absolutely. The change has been remarkable. I think choker is a bit tough. He wasnt so good under pressure and he crumbled. There is a clear change. I think theyve been doing pressure training with him, increased the intensity of training. What is pressure training . Simulating matches. He has his base in the bahamas and they will have been doing heat training. There is clearly a difference, working on all areas of his game, but mainly the mental side has improved dramatically. There are different ways that the coaches and sports psychologists can work with him to improve how he deals with pressure situations. In tennis there are critical points and key moments and clearly hes improved on that. This week has been incredible, he has taken out some top seeds and its just how hes dealing with the big points, and indeed the fact that he has come back from behind and is showing real resilience. How worried are you about this time
