Thousands of new res have been started in the Amazon rainforest over the weekend as blazes continue to devastate 02. huge parts of the region. The National Institute for Space Research (INPE), which monitors deforestation in Brazil, said some 03. 1,113 new res were ignited across Saturday and Sunday. Video footage of the res has gone viral on social media over 04. the past few weeks, while millions fear the impact the ongoing destruction of the world’s largest rainforest may have on 05. the climate change crisis. According to the INPE, there have been 72,843 res in Brazil this year, with more than half in the 06. Amazon region – an increase of more than 80 percent compared with the previous year. Brazil’s president, Jair Bolsonaro, 07. and his environmental policies have come under scrutiny, with critics saying he favours development over conservation. 08. NASA's Aqua satellite shows several res burning in the Brazilian states of Amazonas. The European Union Earth 09. Observation Program’s Sentinel satellites also captured images of “signi cant amounts of smoke” over Amazonas, Rondonia 10. and other areas. 11. The scale of the res is so huge that they can be seen from space, NASA has said. According to the INPE, more than 1 ½ 12. football elds of Amazon rainforest are being destroyed every minute of every day. “This is without question one of only 13. two times that there have been res like this in the Amazon,” ecologist Thomas Lovejoy told National Geographic. “There’s 14. no question that it’s a consequence of the recent uptick in deforestation.” 15. The res have caused mass devastation across the Amazonian region. The Amazon rainforest is considered vital in the 16. slowing of global warming, thanks to its plethora of habitable species of fauna and ora. It generates about 20 percent 17. of the world’s oxygen and 10 percent of the world’s known biodiversity. Often referred to as “the lungs of the planet,” it 18. plays a signi cant role in regulating the climate. This means that the destruction of the Amazon rainforest would have 19. a devastating impact on everything from the air we breathe to the water we drink. The res are also causing millions of 20. people indigenous to the Amazon to be displaced. An estimated 500 tribes live within the Amazon. 21. According to NASA, res in the Amazonian area often occur during the dry season, which typically starts around July 22. and August. Peak “activity” is said to happen by early September and ceases by mid-November. Blazes are also started 23. deliberately by a way of deforestation – people clearing out the land for farming or ranches. The INPE has now ruled out 24. natural phenomena being responsible for the surge in forest res. Alberto Setzer, a senior scientist at INPE, told CNN that 25. he believes 99% of the res result _________human actions “either ______ purpose or by accident.

A UK patient's HIV has become "undetectable" following a stem cell transplant - in only the second case of its 02. kind, doctors report in Nature. 03. The London patient, under a cancer treatment, has now been in remission from HIV for 18 months and is no longer 04. taking HIV drugs. The researchers say it is too early to say the patient is "cured" of HIV. Experts say the approach is not 05. practical for treating most people with HIV but may one day help nd a cure. 06. The male London patient, who has not been named, was diagnosed with HIV in 2003 and advanced Hodgkin's lymphoma 07. in 2012. He had chemotherapy to treat the Hodgkin's cancer and, in addition, stem cells were implanted into the patient 08. from a donor resistant to HIV, leading to both his cancer and HIV going into remission. Researchers from University College 09. London, Imperial College London, Cambridge and Oxford Universities were all involved in the case. 10. 'Not an anomaly' 11. This is the second time a patient treated this way has ended up in remission from HIV. Ten years ago, another patient in 12. Berlin received a bone-marrow transplant from a donor with natural immunity to the virus. Timothy Brown, said to be the 13. rst person to "beat" HIV/Aids, was given two transplants and total body irradiation (radiotherapy) for leukaemia - a much 14. more aggressive treatment. "By achieving remission in a second patient using a similar approach, we have shown that the 15. Berlin patient was not an anomaly and that it really was the treatment approaches that eliminated HIV in these two people," 16. said lead study author Prof Ravindra Gupta, from UCL. 17. Hope of a cure? 18. ____________the nding is exciting, it is not o ering up a new treatment for the millions of people around the world 19. living with HIV. The aggressive therapy was primarily used to treat the patient's cancer, not his HIV. 20. Current HIV therapies are really e ective, meaning people with the virus can live long and healthy lives. But the reason 21. this case is so signi cant is that it could help experts who are looking for new ways to tackle HIV and achieve a cure. 22. Understanding how the body can naturally resist the infection does o er up hope of this, even if it is still a long way o . 23. Prof Eduardo Olavarria, also involved in the research, from Imperial College London, said the success of stem cell 24.
