Living a healthy lifestyle can help you stave off diseases for an extra decade, new research has found. The study, published in the British Medical Journal, has found that those who adopt habits such as exercising for at least 30 minutes a day or drinking in moderation are more likely to be free of illnesses like cancer, type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Researchers from the Harvard School of Public Health in Boston and the Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences looked at data from more than 110,000 people for the study. For the sake of the study, a healthy lifestyle was defined by those with at least four of the following five factors: never smoking, a healthy body mass index (BMI), moderate alcohol intake, a healthy diet, and at least half an hour of moderate to vigorous exercise a day. As for the alcohol intake, moderate was viewed as 5g to 15g of pure alcohol per day for women (15g is roughly one 175ml glass of wine) and for men, this range went from 5g to 30g per day, with 30g pure alcohol considered the equivalent to 1.5 pints of beer.On average, the results showed that women with healthy lifestyles could enjoy 34.4 years free from diseases, compared to 23.7 years for women who had none of the five healthy lifestyle behaviours. Meanwhile, men who adopted at least four of the five aforementioned healthy living factors were found to expect 31.1 years free from diseases, with this figure dropping down to 23.5 years for men who did not follow any of the healthy lifestyle factors. The study also identified those who were at the highest risk of developing cancer, type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease, citing men who smoked more than 15 cigarettes and women with a BMI over 30.

"Public policies for improving food and the physical environment conducive to adopting a healthy diet and lifestyle, as well as relevant policies and regulations (for example, smoking ban in public places or trans- fat restrictions) are critical to improving life expectancy, especially life expectancy free of major chronic diseases."

Thousands of passengers could save money on rail fares as "split tickets" become more common, experts predict. Buying multiple tickets to split one journey into sections can work out to be cheaper than having a single ticket. Users do not have to change trains, as long as their train stops at the final destination printed on each ticket - but the practice has been "niche". Booking site Trainline has now released a SplitSave tool to help find cheaper journeys by splitting trips into legs. "Split tickets" are legal provided that trains stop at ticket destinations. Rail fares rise by 2.7% Travel journalist Simon Calder told BBC News "split ticketing" was not a new concept, but had previously only been carried out by a well-informed group of passengers. "What we're seeing now is the whole thing moving from the niche to a company through which millions buy tickets," he said. Previously, passengers could use split ticketing websites such as RailEurope's Pricehack and Split My Fare to check ticket prices. How it works The ticket companies' apps are able to find combinations of tickets to save passengers money on most routes across the UK, by automatically splitting the trip into multiple legs. Passengers buy more than one ticket, rather than a single ticket covering the entire journey. As long as the train makes a stop at a passenger's split ticket station along the way, they can be on the same train throughout the whole journey. To buy a ticket from London Paddington to Bristol Temple Meads without splitting the fare could cost up to £112 on Monday morning. However, buying one ticket from Paddington to Didcot - which is on the same route - and another from Did cot to Bristol would save around a third of the cost of the trip. The practice is legal so long as the train stops as Didcot. Trainline said other examples of potential savings included one of £80.10 between Manchester Piccadilly and London Euston, and £79.85 between Edinburgh Waverley and London King's Cross. The Rail Delivery Group (RDG), which represents train operators, called for a reform to the whole rail fares structure, describing the split-ticket feature as a "sticking plaster" solution to a "system in need of major surgery". Experts say the rules governing how tickets are sold - which date back to 1995 - have not kept pace with technology or how people work and travel. The rail industry has previously admitted that passengers are not always offered the cheapest fare available due to "long-standing anomalies". The RDG published a wish list of reforms last year, including allowing ticket prices to be set more flexibly. Mr Calder said ticket-splitting by large numbers of passengers may speed up rail fare reforms as train companies begin to lose revenue. "The railway industry says it has been calling for reform for years and I think [ticket splitting] could accelerate that process," he said. "We're going to see train companies saying to the government: 'We're losing all this money, you've got to help us sort this out.' "The simple answer is fares reform." 'Sticking plaster' Jacqueline Starr, chief operating officer at RDG, said: "We support any effort to improve how people buy tickets within the current fares structure, but ultimately these are only sticking plaster solutions on a system in need of major surgery. "Reforms proposed by train operators and backed by consumer groups would deliver a better range of fares for everyone, encouraging people to use the network and generating revenue for government to re-invest back in to improvements in services." The tool was welcomed by independent watchdog Transport Focus for enabling passengers "to take advantage of cheaper journeys where they are available". However, the group's chief executive, Anthony Smith, added: "Of course, people shouldn't need tips and tricks to know they are getting the best deal and so we want to see major fares and ticketing reforms coming out of the forthcoming Williams review."

NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde has instructed legal action against a contractor involved in the construction of its biggest hospital. Brookfield Multiplex was responsible for the design and construction of the £575m Queen Elizabeth University Hospital (QEUH) complex in Glasgow. There have been problems at the campus since it opened in 2015. Lawyers have been instructed to raise court proceedings against the contractor "as a matter of urgency". Public inquiry planned MacRoberts LLP are acting on behalf of the health board, according to official papers. A public inquiry is expected to look at how the design, handover and maintenance contributed to ineffective infection control at the QEUH complex. It will also cover the new children's hospital in Edinburgh, which also involved Brookfield Multiplex. This was due to open in 2017, but will now not be ready until next autumn at the earliest after serious problems with the ventilation system were uncovered. In brief: The trials of Scotland's super hospital Last month, NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde was placed in "special measures" following issues over infection prevention, management and control at the hospitals. In January it emerged that two patients at the QEUH had died after contracting a fungal infection linked to pigeon droppings. In November it came to light that two children who had died in 2017 at the Royal Hospital for Children (RHC), which is part of the complex, were treated on a ward affected by water contamination. That year it was also announced that cladding similar to that used on Grenfell Tower would be replaced, at a cost to the taxpayer of £6m. In 2018 a panel fell from the 10th floor of the QEUH, shattering near the front entrance. No-one was injured, but safety netting was erected around the hospital. Reports claimed panels had fallen from the building on at least three occasions since it opened. The health board said an investigation into what caused the fall was inconclusive. Image copyrightKIMBERLY DARROCH Image caption 10-year-old Milly Main, pictured here with her mother, died in 2017 In 2017, 10-year-old Milly Main was recovering from leukaemia at the Royal Hospital for Children. But her Hickman line, a catheter used to administer drugs, became infected. Milly went into toxic shock and died days later. Her family say they were kept in the dark about a potential link to contaminated water problems at the hospital. NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde insisted it was impossible to determine the source of Milly's infection because there was no requirement to test the water supply at the time. At the end of last month, the board was placed in "special measures". Apology to families Health Secretary Jeane Freeman said stage four of the NHS Board Performance Escalation Framework was necessary to implement because of the issuse over infection prevention and control. The move in effect means an oversight board is in place, chaired by chief nursing officer Prof Fiona McQueen. Both NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde and Ms Freeman have apologised to the parents of two children who died at the hospital. Three-year-old Mason Djemat, who was being treated for a rare genetic disease, died on 9 August 2017. Milly died three weeks later while recovering from leukaemia treatment. Both were treated on a ward affected by water contamination at the Royal Hospital for Children.

Roads remain closed after a major blaze "devastated" shops and restaurants in Glasgow's southside. About 60 firefighters and 12 appliances tackled the fire in Seaward Street, in the Kinning Park area, after the alarm was raised just after 03:30. At the height of the fire a huge plume of smoke could be seen from across the River Clyde. Seaward Street was closed to traffic between Paisley Road West and the M8 eastbound off-slip to Scotland Street. The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service said there were no reported casualties. The traffic disruption hit drivers both during the morning and evening rush hours. Garry Mackay, area commander at the fire service, said the "challenging" fire had been contained by crews. BBC journalist Linda Sinclair said the roof of the large building had collapsed. There are fears the front of the building might also give way. The affected properties on Seaward Street include a furniture and flooring showroom, a locksmith, a function suite and a Middle Eastern restaurant. In a Facebook post, Modish Furnishing said: "A fire tore through the buildings on our street in Kinning Park in the early hours of this morning. Unfortunately our showroom has been devastated." The Dojo, a martial arts centre on Seaward Lane, is one of the buildings closed by the fire. Instructor Mike McCusker tweeted: "Although the Hokushin Honbu Dojo is untouched by this incident the road remains closed and we will not have access today. We should be back to normal tomorrow." Mr MacKay said: "This was a complex and challenging incident with significant fire spread and crews worked hard to prevent further spread to neighbouring properties. "We are now confident we have contained the blaze and are scaling back our response." He said the fire service was working with police to manage traffic.

A person who was being treated in hospital after the eruption of New Zealand's White Island volcano has died, police say. The unidentified victim died in Australia after being sent for treatment. About 20 people remain in intensive care with severe burns. The death brings to 16 the number of confirmed deaths. Recovery teams returned to the island on Sunday to try to locate another two remaining bodies. Eight police search and rescue personnel were deployed for 75 minutes to an area in which at least one of the bodies was believed to be. "We have found no further bodies in that area," Deputy Police Commissioner Mike Clement told reporters. What we know of the victims Volcano tourism in the spotlight Why skin is being imported Police said they remained committed to retrieving the bodies and that police and military divers would continue to search the waters around White Island, also known by its Maori name of Whakaari. On Saturday, teams faced contaminated waters and poor visibility after one body was spotted in the water. Image copyrightREUTERS Image caption Divers have been searching for bodies for several days "There was every chance that the second body was also in the sea," Mr Clement said, "but we wanted to clear the area today [Sunday], which is effectively what today's exercise was about." There had been no further significant activity in White Island since last Monday's eruption but the risk of eruption remained, Geoff Kilgour, a volcanologist with GNS Science, was quoted by AFP news agency as saying. What about the identification of the victims? The identification process is being carried out in Auckland by experts including a pathologist, a forensic dentist and a fingerprint officer. Four more victims were named by police on Sunday, including 24-year-old New Zealand tour guide Tipene James Te Rangi Ataahua Maangi. The other three, all Australians, were 15-year-old Zoe Ella Hosking and her 53-year-old stepfather Gavin Brian Dallow, as well as 51-year-old Anthony James Langford. On Saturday, 21-year-old Krystal Eve Browitt, also from Australia, was the first person identified. Police are gathering information about possible victims, such as descriptions of appearance, clothing, photos, fingerprints, medical and dental records and DNA samples. These details will then be matched to the evidence gathered in the post-mortem examination. Out of the 47 people on the island when the eruption happened, 24 were from Australia, nine from the US, five from New Zealand, four from Germany, two from China, two from the UK, and one from Malaysia. On Monday, a minute's silence will be observed in New Zealand at 14:11 local time (01:11 GMT) to mark one week since the eruption.

Citizenship Amendment Bill: India's West Bengal hit by protests 1 hour ago Share this with Facebook Share this with Messenger Share this with Twitter Share this with Email Share Image copyrightEPA Image caption Protests in Kolkata have entered their second day, amid a wave of demonstrations across India Protests in Kolkata against a controversial Indian citizenship law have continued into their second day. The new law entitles non-Muslim migrants from three Muslim-majority countries to citizenship if they are facing religious persecution. On Saturday, protesters blocked motorways and attacked trains and stations in West Bengal's capital. A curfew was also imposed in Guwahati, in the north-eastern state Assam, after two people died in clashes this week. The curfew was lifted from 09:00 local time (03:30 GMT) until 16:00 on Saturday. Protest groups in Guwahati have said they plan to defy the curfew on Saturday evening. The UK, US and Canada have issued travel warnings for people visiting India's north-east, telling their citizens to "exercise caution" if travelling to the region. Image copyrightREUTERS Image caption On Friday, Muslim demonstrators in Kolkata offered Friday prayers in front of their protest banner Demonstrations have been breaking out across India. On Friday, hundreds of mostly student protesters clashed with riot police in New Delhi. Officers used tear gas on the protesters and detained more than 40 students, the BBC's Priyanka Dubey reports - adding that there was a palpable sense of anger on the streets of the capital. Other, smaller rallies were also held in the southern states of Kerala and Karnataka. Mamata Banerjee, West Bengal's chief minister, opposes the law and has said she will not implement it. She has also called for more rallies to be held next week. The chief ministers of Punjab, Kerala, Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh have also said they will not implement the law. What is the new law and why is it controversial? The Citizenship Amendment Bill (CAB), which was approved this week, applies to non-Muslims from Pakistan, Afghanistan and Bangladesh, who have been persecuted for their faith. As well as Hindus, this includes Christians, Buddhists, Sikhs, Jains and Parsis. If people from these groups enter India illegally and can prove that they originate from one of the three eligible countries, they can become Indian citizens. Analysis: Why anger erupted over India's 'anti-Muslim' law India's new citizenship law explained Is India's claim about minorities true? Muslim rights groups across the country and an opposition political party argue the bill is part of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's "Hindutva", or Hindu nationalism, and part of an agenda to marginalise Muslims. Mr Modi denies this, saying that Muslims are not covered by the new law because they are not religious minorities, and therefore do not need India's protection. Critics argue that if the law were genuinely aimed at protecting minorities, it would include Muslim religious minorities who have faced persecution in their own countries - Ahmadis in Pakistan, for example. They also say the bill violates secular principles enshrined in the constitution, which prohibits religious discrimination against all citizens. Image copyrightAFP Image caption Protests have erupted across the country - including in Bangalore, where this demonstrator is pictured There is also an anti-migrant element to some of the protests. The BBC's India correspondent, Soutik Biswas, says that the protests in Assam in particular have little to do with the law being seen as exclusionary or as a threat to secularism, and "more to do with indigenous fears about being demographically and culturally swamped by 'outsiders'". Prime Minister Modi has sought to reassure people in Assam, telling them they have "nothing to worry" about. "The central government and I are totally committed to constitutionally safeguard the political, linguistic, cultural and land rights of the Assamese people," he tweeted on Thursday. But it is unlikely residents would have been able to read the message, because internet and mobile services in the area were shut down. Has the bill been legally challenged? The Indian Union Muslim League, a political party, has petitioned the country's top court to declare the bill illegal. In their petition to the Supreme Court, the Indian Union Muslim League argued that the bill violated articles of equality, fundamental rights and the right to life. More than 700 eminent Indian personalities, including jurists, lawyers, academics and actors, have signed a statement "categorically" condemning the bill. Investigative journalist Rana Ayyub told the BBC that it was sending out the wrong message. "Clearly you are catering to your Hindu base by telling them that this country is only for Hindus," she said. "The world's biggest democracy had a big heart when it could accommodate people. Right now we are coming across to the world as petty. "

Congratulations !! :D
