Could A 100 Year Old Drug Treat Autism

    A 100-year-old drug may help improve the symptoms for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), including improvements in language and social interaction, according to a small study. Researchers at the University of California San Diego School of Medicine explored how suramin, a drug developed to treat African sleeping sickness, affects the core symptoms of ASD which there are currently no treatments for. A previous study on mice showed a temporary reversal in symptoms of ASD, so the researchers went on to test the effect of the drug on humans. Their trial included 10 boys, ages 5 to 14 years, all diagnosed with ASD. Using diagnostic criteria, the researchers found that the most improved behaviors were related to social communication and play, speech and language, calm...

G7 leaders blame US for failure to reach climate change agreement in unusually frank statement

    In an unusual admission, Group of Seven (G7) leaders have said in their final communique from a summit in Italy that they had failed to bridge differences over climate change with US President Donald Trump and America was unable to join other countries in committing to the Paris Agreement.

Understanding this process, the heads of state and of government of Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan and the United Kingdom and the presidents of the European Council and of the European Commission reaffirm their strong commitment to swiftly implement the Paris Agreement, it add...

China dismisses UN concerns over CPEC project

May puts Manchester bombing at heart of election with attack on Corbyn

    Theresa May has launched an extraordinary attack on Jeremy Corbyn, accusing him of saying Britain is to blame for the Manchester Arena bombing in a war of words that places the atrocity at the heart of the election campaign. The prime minister used a press conference at the end of her first G7 summit to resume her election campaign by directly targeting the Labour leader after he had said the war on terror was not working. I have been here with the G7, working with other international leaders to fight terrorism, May told reporters. At the same time, Jeremy Corbyn has said that terror attacks in Britain are our own fault and he has chosen to do that a few days after one of the worst terrorist atrocities we have experienced in the United Kingdom. I want to make something cle...

Pippa Middleton takes legal action after wedding menus appear on eBay

A seller with the username ‘guarko84na’ advertised two cards both sharing the feast on offer at the Berkshire nuptials.

Why many Europeans love Obama and loathe Trump

    Today Barack Obama and Donald Trump appeared in public at the same time in Europe Thursday, but reactions could not have been starker. The former president received a rock-star welcome in Berlin, while his successor received looks of bewilderment from European leaders in Brussels. Here are some reasons why so many Europeans love Obama and loathe Trump. NATO: Trump chastised his colleagues for not contributing enough to their collective defense. NATO members must finally contribute their fair share and meet their financial obligations, Trump said. Twenty-three of 28 nations in the alliance are not paying what they should be paying for their defense. This is very unfair to the taxpayers of the USA. During the campaign, Trump called NATO obsolete and that before sending U.S. ...
