France has launched a nationwide probe into incidents of babies being born with either missing or malformed arms after abnormal rates of deformations were detected in several regions of the country, a top public health official said on Wednesday. Francois Bourdillon, head of the Public Health France agency, told RTL radio that the probe was “underway” and the results would be known “in about three months.” A relatively small number of cases have been detected so far — about 25 over the past 15 years in the regions of Brittany, Loire-Atlantique and Ain — but the defects have caused public alarm and have been widely reported by the French media. On Monday evening, health authorities reported an additional 11 cases in the Ain area near the Swiss border between 2000 and 2014 which had not previously been made public. Officials had already said the number of cases in Brittany and the Loire-Atlantique areas, on France’s west coast, was statistically “excessive” and Health...

Real Madrid captain, Sergio Ramos has attacked his teammate, Casemiro over comment made on Los Blancos’ players following his side’s El Clasico 5-1 defeat by Barcelona in the La Liga fixture played on Sunday evening. Recall that  Casemiro had blamed Los Blancos’  players for their humiliating defeat in the hands of Barca at the Camp Nou. Goals from Luiz Suarez (3), Philippe Coutinho (1) and Arturo Vidal (1) ensured victory for the Catalan club at the Camp Nou. Marcelo’s lone strike was not enough to get a point for the visitors. Ramos, however, said Casemiro’s comment was inopportune, adding that the Los Blancos’ players must remain calm. “It’s inopportune to say that,” he said when asked about Casemiro’s comments by Marca. “We must remain calm. It’s not the time to point the finger at anyone. We have to be self-critical and sometimes it’s the players’ fault.” The result leaves Madrid ninth in La Liga while their run of three-straight defeats is their wors...

Miguel MEDINA / AFP Cristiano Ronaldo has said he decided to leave Real Madrid for Juventus after sensing that the Spanish club’s president, Florentino Perez, no longer saw him as being “indispensable”. “I felt within the club, especially from the president, that I was no longer considered in the same way as I was at the beginning,” Ronaldo said in an interview with France Football magazine. “For the first four or five years, I felt like Cristiano Ronaldo. Less so after. “The president looked at me in a way that suggested I was no longer indispensable if you know what I mean. That is what made me think about leaving.” The 33-year-old Portuguese superstar joined Juventus in a 100 million-euro ($115 million) deal in July, ending a glorious nine-year association with Real.

Air pollution kills 600,000 children annually – WHO Exposure to toxic air both indoors and out kills some 600,000 children under the age of 15 each year, the World Health Organisation (WHO) warned Monday. WHO Data from the UN health body shows that every day, 93 percent of children under the age of 15 — a full 1.8 billion youngsters, including 630 million under the age of five — breath dangerously polluted air. This has tragic consequences: In 2016 alone, some 600,000 children died from acute lower respiratory infections caused by polluted air, the WHO report found. “Polluted air is poisoning millions of children and ruining their lives,” WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said in a statement. “This is inexcusable. Every child should be able to breathe clean air so they can grow and fulfil their full potential.” According to WHO data, more than nine out of 10 people on the planet breath dangerously toxic air, causing some seven million premature deaths each year. ...

Several dead as gunman attacks Jewish worshippers in  A gunman opened fire on Jewish worshippers at a synagogue in the US city of Pittsburgh Saturday, reportedly killing at least four people and injuring half a dozen others before being taken into custody. Local media reported the shooter yelled anti-Jewish slurs during the attack at the Tree of Life synagogue, where dozens were understood to be gathered during Sabbath services, and which comes with the United States witnessing a sharp spike in anti-Semitic incidents. As reports indicated as many as eight could be dead, President Donald Trump hit out at what he called a climate of “hate” — while his daughter Ivanka, a convert to judaism, denounced a “depraved” attack. “It’s a terrible, terrible thing what’s going on with hate in our country frankly, and all over the world,” Trump told reporters. “Something has to be done,” he continued, saying the perpetrators of such attacks “should get the death penalty.” Multiple...

PROSTATE CANCER: What every man should know Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men and the second most common tumor diagnosed worldwide. The prostate is a walnut sized gland that is part of the male reproductive system. It is located beneath the urinary bladder and in front of the rectum. The prostate makes some of the fluid that nourishes and protects sperm cells in the semen. Just behind the prostate are the seminal vesicles, which make most of the fluid for the semen. Prostate cancer is to men what breast cancer or cervical cancer is to women. It has the potential to grow and spread quickly, but for most men, it is a relatively slow growing disease. About 20,000 men die of prostate cancer every year in Nigeria. One new case occurs every 3.3 minutes and a man dies from prostate cancer every 20 minutes. On daily basis, at least 14 men die in the country and 1 in 5 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime. A black man is 70 percent more...
