In my opinion, there are quite a lot science TV programmes. For instance, in “la 2” we have daily documentaries about science, biology and technology. They are useful because you can learn new things while having a great time. There are many other channels that broadcast science related programmes, like “El Hormiguero 3.0” in Antena 3. That’s why I think mass media and science are very related.

NEW HUMAN VIRUS DISCOVERED

This new was taken from Science magazine on the 23rd September 2015.

The newfound virus is similar to Hepatitis C virus which can cause serious liver damage, and to the harmless human pegivirus. Because of that the new virus was named hepegivirus 1.

The scientist scoured blood samples from a cohort of 46 people that were collected before and after they received a blood transfusion between 1974 and 1980. That’s why it’s far too early for blood banks to take any action.

Almost every year, scientists identify a new virus in humans. Where are these viruses coming from?. Are they recently in the human population or have they been around for a long time?

EUROPEAN NEWS

Hundreds of refugees and migrants - most of them Afghans - continue to live rough in Victoria Square in central Athens waiting to start the next leg of the long journey to their final destination, Germany.

Tents and blankets are strewn across the grass and concrete. Suddenly there is a rush as a Greek man parks his car and starts handing out food and clothes.

Munir Ahmed, who is from Afghanistan, says the authorities have not given him anything since he arrived here days ago.

Like many of the Afghans, he is stuck until he can get more money to pay for the train and bus journeys to northern Europe. He is relying on a relative to help him out.
