I saw loads of pics but never managed to spot her myself so it was really sad to hear that Carlisle Cathedral’s peregrine falcon has died. She was a bit of a local celeb and the fastest animal on earth. Proof it’s worth looking up! 🦅 #Carlisle #CarlisleCathedral

A new study from England, #UK, has recorded zero deaths from #CervicalCancer among young women who were vaccinated against #HPV as girls. Since @WHO made the call to action in May 2018, countries across the world are rolling out the WHO Global Strategy to Eliminate Cervical Cancer — by scaling up vaccination, screening and treatment. And today, 165 countries have now introduced this lifesaving vaccine. In fact, a single dose of the vaccine is now proving to be protective towards almost zero risk of cervical cancer. When science, political commitment and dedicated health workers join forces, #HealthForAll becomes a reality. bbc.com/news/articles/c621z2…

HPV vaccine means young women now have 'close to zero' risk of cervical cancer death

A new study finds that hundreds of lives have been saved since school-age girls were offered the HPV jab in 2008.

Nobody expects the Spanish inquisition? They will now. Inevitable inquest. Huge scrutiny on the World Cup favourites. That was so poor, no inspiration, no width until the fliers arrived. Brilliant from Cape Verde, guts and glory of a point. A draw against all odds, against the European champions. Cape Verde ranked 64th in the world – 61 places below Spain. Population 500,000. Madrid alone is seven times that. One of the great World Cup upsets. #FIFAWorldCup

It was a pleasure to meet Flo and Josh from Kendal @BBC_Cumbria who are quite simply amazing. They are staying positive, celebrating life, hosting chemo parties and raising money for a life-saving liver transplant after Josh was found to be a potential match.
