This is a test and it's not looking for any signs of cancer inside the human body. Instead, it's making an assessment of how likely it is that your body is prone, genetically programmed to developing prostate cancer. So it's looking for 130 different mutations that are in men's DNA. adding up which mutations you have, which mutations you don't, to come up with an overall risk score.

And then what they have done in this study is they've taken the top 10%, so the 10% of men that have the highest risk of developing prostate cancer at some point in their lives. And then it has taken those men and offered them either, well, a combination of MRI scans of the area and prostate biopsies to see if there are any prostate cancers there when these men are aged between 55 and 69.

And that's what they've done in this study. So it's not looking for cancer. It's looking for the people that are most likely to get it. So it's a screening program, if you like. It is because the starting point of this is that all of the men appear outwardly completely healthy.

And that's the whole point of screening programs to try to get cancer at a stage before they're symptomatic at an earlier point when in theory they are easier to treat. And that has always been really problematic with prostate cancer because

At the moment, the main tool that we have for understanding what's the state of a prostate cancer growing in the human body is looking for a marker in the blood, something called prostate-specific antigen or PSA. You may have heard of the PSA test. The problem is if you just… look at the blood of completely healthy people with no other signs or symptoms.

The danger and the reason we don't have prostate screening in the UK is the assessment is that that causes more harm than it does good in terms of the numbers of cancers it's detecting and the types of cancers it's detecting. So there's a huge amount of medical research going on to try to figure out what is the best way of screening for prostate cancer.

And this is a relatively new idea in this field about helping to profile and figure out who are the people most at risk and therefore who are the people that you could target screening at the highest risk people rather than the whole population.

It is the first kind of claim. I mean, for President Zelensky, he is certainly looking to frame this as... Why? Well, he wants to reiterate what he sees as the widening geopolitical footprint of Russia's invasion. He wants to say to America, and he did so in a press conference, you need to pay attention to what is happening.

You need to consider your response if Beijing is now helping Moscow in its invasion. But... There is no evidence, according to western officials, that Beijing is directly helping Russian troops. And we don't know what those Chinese soldiers may have been doing. They might have been in Ukraine in a mercenary role or they could have simply been mobilized from inside Russia. So there are a lot of...

unanswered questions, but Zelensky did post a video showing an Asian soldier in a Russian uniform, handcuffed, talking to his captors.
