Russia provides about a quarter of the gas consumed in the EU and 80% of that is piped through Ukraine.

Scientists find new strain of HIV

Gorillas have been found, for the first time, to be a source of HIV.Previous research had shown the HIV-1 strain, the main source of human infections with 33mio cases worldwide, originated from a virus in chimpanzees.But researchers have now discovered an HIV infection in a Cameroonian woman which is clearly linked to a gorilla strain.
