A new personalised vaccine given in combination with a drug has stopped skin cancer returning in patients during a trial, representing a potentially watershed moment in cancer treatment. Scientists used mRNA technology, which was used for some Covid-19 vaccines.
But that technology – and vaccines more generally – have become increasingly controversial in the United States since the Covid-19 pandemic. The Health Secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr, is a vaccine sceptic.
In August 2025 cancelled $500m (£376m) in funding for mRNA vaccine research. The move impacted 22 projects being led by major pharmaceutical companies, including Pfizer and Moderna, for vaccines against bird flu and other viruses, according to Kennedy’s department.
We speak to Tom Whipple, host of the BBC’s Inside Science programme, about the science of this new vaccine. And we ask how funding cuts for vaccine research could impact health outcomes not just for Americans, but for the world.

Historic first as Chinese robot beats Usain Bolt’s 100m world record at Beijing games | BBC News
A Chinese humanoid robot has run 100 metres in 9.39 seconds in a preliminary heat at the World Humanoid Robot Games in Beijing, surpassing the men’s world record time held by Jamaican sprinting great Usain Bolt.
Tiangong Ultra, developed by the Beijing Humanoid Robot Innovation Center, won its heat at the opening of the games’ second edition. The robot overtook smartphone maker Honor’s Lightning near the finish after falling behind early in the race. Lightning finished in 9.47 seconds, also faster than the 9.58-second record Bolt set at the 2009 World Athletics Championships in Berlin.
The results marked a remarkable improvement from last year’s inaugural games, when Tiangong Ultra won the 100 metres in 21.50 seconds. Tiangong also won the world’s first humanoid robot half-marathon, held in Beijing last year.
The 100 metres is among 51 events at the games, which include football, dancing and contests to complete industrial tasks.
China is promoting humanoid robots as a strategic emerging industry, with policymakers and companies betting that advances in AI and hardware will accelerate their use in manufacturing, logistics and consumer applications.
Investor enthusiasm for the sector was underscored recently when shares in Unitree, China’s best-known humanoid robot maker, jumped more than five fold in its Shanghai trading debut, giving the company a market value of about $50 billion.
This year’s games have drawn 2,056 robots from 666 teams across 16 countries and six continents, up from 280 teams at the inaugural event.

There was a time when sleeping was simple – but now, it’s a bit more complicated.
Sleep has rules – there’s the right bedtime, the right temperature, and the right amount of deep sleep.
It’s not just something we do, it’s something we measure.
But is all this number punching actually helping us rest?

4, for digest of meat and bread>needs high sugar contained deink for digest(=coke)
5, No exercise or just walking 1 hour a day for work instead in car or bus

Fat is NOT the problem. Eating fat does not make you fat. Nor is meat fattening. Nutrition advice is dominated by 70 year old beliefs. Sugar and carbohydrates are the main cause of obesity. Bread, pasta. potatoes, rice and sugary fruits and drinks all contribute to the obesity epidemic.

Speaking from my experience
Losing weight is not easy
But it's possible if we work
Harder. Various reasons are linked to a sedentary lifestyle in overweight persons: physical limitations due to weight, associated diseases like diabetes and hypertension, tiredness due to sleep apnea, poor access to appropriate weight loss methods
will not work. Try drinking warm water or warm tea.

Red meat is not the culprit, the culprit is fries, bread pasta, sugar, industrial vegetable oils all devoid of nutrients! AND LACK OF PHYSICAL ACTIVITY!! I often get comments from people because I walk and do not have a car, I use public transport. 20 minutes walk to the subway is a lot for most people!!! This problem is everywhere not just Saudi Arabia.

In Greece the porblem is a little bit different: we dont have so many fast foods, as much as we got restaurants with cheap meals. Is not that we are eating like 2 or 3 burgers but we eat so much meat. Greece is having the buggest childhood obesiety issue in Europe. Is like we get a gyro or a kebap, is ok thats not that fatty, but when you wake up with breakfast go at school take a sandwitch then after school ice cream or gyros and later food at home such as pastichio, bollognez or meat for the rest of the day. Or even in cellebrations when we are making barbeques in school and after straight again barbeque at home

I mean I'm still hungry even after eating burger and chicken from kfc but I'm already full after eating a half portion of some traditional food that contains many vegetables.
I don't know if my mind play some tricks or whatever it is, but junk food makes us craves for more food than what we need daily.

The obesity problem, we are told, is because we eat too much.
But we don’t talk about WHY we eat too much. It’s because we are told to eat a low fat diet, so we stuff more carbs and starches down our pie holes and never “feel full”. So we keep eating and eating and eating. Fat is not the enemy. Sugar is.
