Manage episode 493712447 series 63543
Forest fires have already devastated more than 25 thousand hectares in Spain during this year, according to the European Forest Fire Information System. And fire season is just starting. In Tarragona, 18000 people were confined due to a fire that began on Monday and which has wrecked more than 3000 hectares.
And last week, a forest fire in Lleida was catalogued as a "sixth generation" fire due to its speed and intensity. In today's broadcast, we learn about forest fires, their causes and possible prevention mechanisms with professor Ruben Laina.
And after that, a groundbreaking discovery could change the chemotherapy protocols for cancer patients. Researchers from the National Cancer Research Centre (CNIO) have discovered biomarkers that predict which patients will not respond to cancer chemotherapy. Geoff Macyntire and Joe Thompson told us how this method works.
