BBC News: 倫敦癌癥科學家稱發(fā)現(xiàn)兒童常見癌癥的病因

大家好，我是賈絲婷·格林，這里是BBC新聞。

One of Australia's most prominent clerics, the Catholic Archbishop of Adelaide Philip Wilson has been found guilty of covering up child sexual abuse in the 1970s. Archbishop Wilson is the most senior Roman Catholic cleric to be convicted of concealment. From Sydney here's Phil Mercer. The archbishop was accused of covering up abuse by a pedophile priest in the Hunter Valley of New South Wales in the 1970s. Philip Wilson who held a junior position in the Catholic Church at the time faces up to two years in prison. His lawyer said he had no knowledge of offenses committed against a child by a member of the clergy who was later convicted of sexual abuse and died in prison in 2006. But a magistrate said the evidence against Archbishop Wilson was truthful and reliable.

澳大利亞最著名的牧師，阿德萊德天主教會大主教菲利普•威爾遜因70年代包庇兒童性侵案而獲罪。威爾遜大主教是羅馬天主教會犯包庇罪最年長的一位，菲爾•莫瑟在悉尼報道。大主教被指控包庇新南威爾士州獵人谷的一名有戀童癖的天主教神父，這起案件發(fā)生在上世紀70年代。當時菲利普•威爾遜在天主教會中地位較低，他將面臨兩年監(jiān)禁。他的律師稱他當時并不知道有孩童被神職人員侵犯，隨后性侵罪名成立，這名神職人員于2006年死于獄中。但地方法官稱威爾遜大主教的犯罪證據(jù)確鑿可靠。

The Inter-American Commission on Human Rights has accused the Nicaraguan government of ordering security forces to use excessive force during weeks of protests against President Daniel Ortega. The watchdog said its preliminary report showed at least 70 people were killed and hundreds injured in the demonstrations. The British government is being urged to review all its aid programs inside Myanmar following the campaign of violence against Rohingya Muslims. Since August last year, 700,000 Rohingya refugees have fled into Bangladesh to escape a military crackdown in Rakhine State. MPs on the House of Commons International Development Committee are asking whether Britain should regard the government of Myanmar as an ally given that it stands accused by the UN of ethnic cleansing.

泛美人權委員會指責尼加拉瓜政府命令安全部隊濫用武力，事件發(fā)生在針對總統(tǒng)丹尼爾•奧特加的數(shù)周抗議活動中。該監(jiān)察機構稱，初步報告顯示在示威活動中至少有70人喪生，數(shù)百人受傷。在緬甸針對羅興亞族穆斯林的暴力行動后，英國政府被要求復查所有對緬援助項目。自去年八月以來，70萬名羅興亞族難民逃往孟加拉國，以躲避若開邦的軍事鎮(zhèn)壓。英國下議院國際發(fā)展委員會議員要求政府重新考慮是否將緬甸政府視為英國的同盟，考慮到聯(lián)合國指控緬甸政府進行種族清洗。

Scientists at the Institute of Cancer Research in London say they've identified the cause of the most common type of cancer in children and it may be preventable. The scientists say not coming into contact with germs earlier in life plays a key role in the development of a type of leukemia. James Gallaher reports. Acute lymphoblastic leukemia is the most common childhood cancer although it remains rare. Around one in 2,000 children will be diagnosed with the disease before they turn 16. It will take further research to see if these cases can be prevented using protective microbes. But this study is part of a huge shift taking place in medicine. To date we've treated microbes as the bad guys. But recognizing their important role on our health and well-being is revolutionising the understanding of diseases from allergies to Parkinson's, depression and now leukemia.

倫敦癌癥研究中心的科學家稱，他們發(fā)現(xiàn)了兒童最常見癌癥的發(fā)病原因，并且這種癌癥可防治?？茖W家稱幼時避免與細菌接觸對預防某種白血病至關重要，詹姆斯•加拉赫報道。急性淋巴細胞白血病是最常見的兒童癌癥，盡管其患病率很低。在16歲以下的兒童中，該病的患病率為2000分之一?？茖W家仍需要進行進一步研究，以確定該病是否可用保護性細菌防治。醫(yī)學界會因該研究而發(fā)生重大變革，迄今為止人們認為細菌有害。但是由于認識到細菌對我們健康和福祉的重要性，我們重新理解了過敏癥、帕金森、抑郁癥以及現(xiàn)在的白血病。
