BBC SPORT | EURO2000 | GERMANY | Braun blasts German team

  „Sunday, 28 May, 2000, 16:52 GMT 17:52 UK Braun blasts German team Egidius Braun is unhappy with Germany's form German football federation president Egidius Braun has blasted the national team for their dismal recent form. "I don't want to idealize things," Braun told Sunday newspaper Welt am Sonntag, "but the last outings of the national team have harmed the reputation of German football." "My wish is to see the national team play in a way that would really delight us all again," he said. "Merely satisfying games would not be enough." Harsh words Germany go into Euro 2000 as defending champions having sunk England on penalties on their way to winning Euro 96 at Wembley. But the team has struggled to reach those heights again since, with many key players at or approaching the end of their careers.“

BBC News | HEALTH | Material filters out pool bugs

  „Wednesday, 26 July, 2000, 18:28 GMT 19:28 UK Material filters out pool bugs Infections can be picked up at the pool A revolutionary material that can remove bacteria from swimming pool water could prevent the spread of an unpleasant stomach bug. Present pool filters occasionally have problems removing the infectious form of the Cryptosporidium. This is a protozoan - a single celled organism - which is often passed into poolwater by infected infants brought for a swim. It is so infectious that one person with the bug could theoretically infect 100,000 others.“

BBC News | SCI/TECH | Coffee crisis in Ethiopia

  „Wednesday, 21 June, 2000, 18:08 GMT 19:08 UK Coffee crisis in Ethiopia Coffee: The most valuable international commodity after oil The future of the world's most popular coffee bean is under threat because of deforestation, according to an Ethiopian ecologist. Tadesse Gole, currently at the University of Bonn, Germany, claims only an international emergency programme can save the surviving remnants of the wild arabica coffee plants growing in the highland rainforests of south-west Ethiopia. Over 90% of the coffee drunk in the world comes from a few commercial varieties of arabica bean. But the ability to develop new varieties that can overcome disease depends on the survival of the many wild varieties in Ethiopia.“

Gallotannin, and nobotanin B - found in a Japanese flower - both cut the damage from a simulated stroke in mouse brain cells grown in the laboratory. However, there is no guarantee that they will work as well in a real patient. The hours following a stroke are crucial to the future prospects, or even survival of the patient.“
