for 23 minutter sidenStudie: Nesten 40 prosent av krefttilfellene globalt kan forebygges
Nesten 40 prosent av krefttilfellene på verdensbasis i 2022 kan knyttes til årsaker det er mulig å forebygge, viser en ny studie. Det er konklusjonen i en global analyse som ble publisert tirsdag i tidsskriftet Nature Medicine. Studien, ledet av Isabelle Soerjomataram ved Det internasjonale kreftforskningsinstituttet (IARC) i Lyon, slår fast at tobakk, alkohol og infeksjoner er de vanligste risikofaktorene. Analysen anslår at rundt 30 prosent av krefttilfellene blant kvinner og 45 prosent blant menn kan forebygges. Av de 18,7 millioner nye krefttilfellene som ble registrert globalt i 2022, kan om lag 7 millioner ha vært mulig å forebygge. Det tilsvarer rundt 38 prosent av totalen. (NTB)

for 56 minutter sidenThe people betting on catastrophic world events – podcast
Prediction markets allow you to put money on everything from the US attacking Iran to Jesus returning. Saahil Desai explains their dizzying rise In the early hours of 3 January, Donald Trump ordered a surprise attack on the Venezuelan capital, Caracas, to kidnap the country’s leader, Nicolás Maduro. Millions of Venezuelans’ lives were thrown into uncertainty. Politicians at home and abroad scrambled to respond. It seemed this was something no one had seen coming. Except one person did actually predict it. In the hours before the attack, someone - and we have no way of knowing who - placed a series of bets that Donald Trump would oust Maduro on a prediction market platform, netting them nearly $500,000 when it happened. These platforms allow their users not just to bet on whoever’s going to win the Super Bowl, but also on world events. Heavily regulated under the Biden administration, these apps have enjoyed a huge boom in popularity since Trump came to power. Continue reading...

Lawyers for accused Tyler Robinson urge removal because prosecutor’s daughter attended rally where Kirk was killed A Utah prosecutor involved in the case against Tyler Robinson, the alleged killer of the rightwing activist Charlie Kirk, denied allegations of a conflict of interest in the case during a hearing on Tuesday. Robinson’s attorneys have argued that a judge should disqualify local prosecutors because the adult daughter of Chad Grunander, a deputy county attorney, was in attendance at the rally on a Utah college campus where Kirk was shot dead. The defense alleges that the office’s move to seek the death penalty just days after Kirk’s killing indicated a “strong emotional reaction” from Grunander, and suggested a conflict of interest.

Netflix film revisits evidence that led to Letby’s conviction and hears from expert who says his research was misused Shortly after Lucy Letby was sentenced to 15 whole-life terms for murdering seven infants and attempting to murder seven others between June 2015 and June 2016 – a conviction that made her Britain’s worst ever child serial killer – Cheshire police agreed to give “unparalleled and exclusive access” to the makers of a Netflix film about the case. The finished documentary, The Investigation Of Lucy Letby, which is released on Wednesday, must be very different from what the producers envisaged when they first began work on the project, given the subsequent unexpected turns in the story. Since the two trials, the prosecution evidence and police handling of the case have faced criticism from an unprecedentedly large number of distinguished British and international medical experts. Led by the Canadian neonatologist, Dr Shoo Lee – who says again in the feature-length Netflix documentary that his research was misused to convict the nurse – many of the experts are convinced Letby is innocent, the victim of a catastrophic miscarriage of justice.

Seksualforbryteren Jeffrey Epstein deltok ved minst to på arrangementer i den offisielle residensen til Thorbjørn Jagland Strasbourg, mens Jagland var generalsekretær i Europarådet fra 2009 til 2019, opplyser Europarådet til NRK. – Vi har ingen indikasjoner på at dette innebar offisielle anliggender for Europarådet med Epstein, og det finnes ingen spor etter disse private møtene i Jaglands offisielle dagbok fra den gang, skriver seksjonssjef Heli Suominen i Europarådet til NRK. Hun opplyser at Europarådet har gått gjennom arkiver og gjennomført administrative undersøkelser i forkant av rapportene om Jaglands kontakt med Epstein som ble kjent forrige helg. Europarådets undersøkelser viser også at Jagland bodde privat under et offisielt besøk til New York i 2018, som ifølge omtale i media kan knyttes til Epstein. – Vi har også fastslått at han ved to anledninger, i 2015 og 2018, bodde privat i Paris, som medieavsløringer knytter til Epstein. Vi har ikke funnet dokumentasjon som viser at han besøkte Epsteins eiendommer i offisiell sammenheng, skriver Suominen til NRK. Hun understreker at Jagland ble satt grundig inn i organisasjonens interne regelverk, spesielt når det gjelder offisiell gjestfrihet og mottak av gaver. Flere medier har bedt Jaglands advokat om en kommentar til opplysningene, men han har sagt at det er for tidlig å gå inn i disse detaljene. Jagland har varslet en redegjørelse om saken på et senere tidspunkt.

In April 2010, the then business secretary appears to have contacted banker Jes Staley, then at JP Morgan, from his personal email account in what appears to be an attempt to secure funding for Rothschild, a longtime friend of the Labour peer.

Fransk påtalemyndighet ber en ankedomstol om å opprettholde forbudet Marine Le Pen er ilagt mot å stille til valg de neste fem årene. Påtalemyndighetens påstand i saken ble kjent tirsdag. I den første rettssaken i fjor ble hun ilagt et slikt fem års forbud. I tillegg ber påtalemyndigheten om at Le Pen dømmes til fire års fengsel, hvorav tre år er betinget og det fjerde kan sones med fotlenke i husarrest. Saken omhandler misbruk av EU-midler, og Le Pen og en rekke andre medlemmer av ytre høyre-partiet Nasjonal samling ble i fjor funnet skyldig. Hvis dommen mot henne opprettholdes, kan hun ikke stille i det franske presidentvalget i 2027. (NTB)

Apparent tip-off by Peter Mandelson gave advance notice of instability that would ripple through global markets On a brisk Monday evening in May 2010, Gordon Brown stood on the steps of Downing Street and delivered one of the most dramatic announcements of the New Labour era: his resignation as UK prime minister. The decision came days after a nail-biting general election that left no single party with a clear run at No 10. Brown kept his decision, which followed days of political wrangling, to a tight inner circle. Nick Clegg, who would go on to serve as deputy prime minister of the Conservative-Liberal Democrat coalition, was formally told of Brown’s resignation only 10 minutes before the announcement.

The appointment of the ex-ambassador despite his lurid past raises potentially fatal doubts about the judgment of the PM and his team In many political scandals there is an agreed full stop, a time for the circus to move on: maybe a resignation, certainly a police investigation. But for Downing Street, Peter Mandelson risks being a headache that simply won’t end. Mandelson’s future in public life is now definitively over, or as definitive as you can be for a figure who, much as with the Conservative saying about Boris Johnson, would possibly need to be buried at a crossroads with a stake through his heart before you could completely rule out another comeback.

for 11 timeer sidenAursnes gjør comeback for Norge
Fredrik Aursnes (30) har sagt ja til å gjøre comeback med for Norge. Det bekrefter landslagssjef Ståle Solbakken til TV 2. – Jeg er veldig glad for at Fredrik nå har stilt seg til disposisjon for landslaget igjen. Jeg vet at alle rundt laget er glade for denne nyheten, sier Solbakken til kanalen. Til NRK forteller landslagssjefen at de har hatt en jevnlig dialog siden Aursnes tok en pause fra landslaget i mars 2024. – Spillergruppa ved kapteinsteamet positive. Han må kjempe om en plass som alle andre i midtbaneleddet, sier Solbakken. Aursnes fikk landslagsdebuten av nettopp Solbakken i juni 2021 og har siden spilt 20 kamper med det norske flagget på brystet. Aursnes begrunnet avgjørelsen om pause med at totalbelastningen ble for stor, både ved klubbfotball i portugisiske Benfica og samlinger med landslaget. 30-åringens siste bokførte kamp med landslaget, ifølge Transfermarkt, er EM-kvalifiseringskampen borte mot Skottland 1. november 2023. Han har en sentral rolle i Benfica og hadde målgivende pasning på den elleville keeperscoringen da klubben tok seg videre i Mesterligaen syv minutter på overtid. NRKs fotballekspert Kristoffer Løkberg tar nyheten godt imot. – Nå er laget komplett. Nå gir Norges førsteellever seg ganske klart. Dette er fantastiske nyheter. Det øker Norges sjanser til virkelig å hevde seg. Han mener at venstre indreløperplassen nå er klar. – Ståle har gjort masse bytter på denne plasser ut fra hvilken motstander det har vært. Aursnes er alle disse i én spiller. Solbakken trenger ikke tenke lenger finne en spiller som passer til den og den motstanderen. – Han må kjempe om en plass som alle andre i midtbaneleddet, sier Solbakken selv. Norge er klare for fotball-VM for herrer i 2026 for første gang på 28 år. Mesterskapet spilles i USA, Mexico og Canada fra 11. juni til 19. juli denne sommeren.

In separate resignation letters obtained by Jewish Currents and the Guardian, Omar Shakir, who has headed the team for nearly the last decade, and Milena Ansari, the team’s assistant researcher, said leadership’s decision to pull the report broke from HRW’s customary approval processes and was evidence that the organization was putting fear of political backlash over a commitment to international law.

Sveitsiske myndigheter undersøker om Verdens økonomiske forum har brutt loven ved å utbetale rundt 19 milioner kroner til daglig leder Børge Brende i lønn. Verdens økonomiske forum (WEF) er en ideell stiftelse, og kan ha brutt loven ved å utbetale for høye lønninger, skrev den sveitsiske avisen Neue Zürcher Zeitung (NZZ) lørdag.

Bakgrunnen er nedleggelsen av akuttfunksjonene ved sykehuset i Mosjøen i fjor høst. Atle Jørgensen er gruppeleder for Vefsn Tverrpolitiske Parti. Han sier til NRK at situasjonen er uholdbar. – Det her gjør vi fordi det her er en varslet katastrofe, sier Jørgensen. Politikerne krever akuttfunksjonen tilbake. – Innbyggerne våre her har blitt kasteballer i et helsesystem som har svikta totalt, sier gruppeleder for Frp i Vefsn, Eirin Horrigmoe. Hun sier akuttfunksjonen ble fjernet uten at et reelt alternativ var på plass. – Og når det her i verste fall har kostet liv, så kan ikke vi sitte stille lengre. TV 2 har tidligere skrevet om en kvinne i 80-årene fra Mosjøen, som ble sendt mellom lokalsykehusene Mo i Rana og Sandnessjøen med brudd i ryggen. Hun døde til slutt på sykehuset i Sandnessjøen.
