Qatar "should not be apologetic" for hosting World Cup, tournament chief says – BBC News

The state of Qatar has said it has “nothing to apologise for” in hosting the 2022 men’s football World Cup, amid controversy over the country’s human rights record.

The country has strict anti-LGBTQ+ laws and there are concerns over the treatment of those working on infrastructure projects for the tournament.

Hassan Al-Thawadi, the general secretary of the Qatar 2022 tournament, told the BBC that criticism by some players and managers has been “ill-informed”.

The draw for November’s tournament takes place on 1 April.

New UK test to find eye cancer in unborn babies set for roll out – BBC News

A new test that can detect unborn babies for a rare form of eye cancer is set to be rolled out across the health service in the UK.

It can identify genetic mutations linked to retinoblastoma, a type of cancer which usually affects children under five and if left untreated can lead to sight loss and death.

The tests will be offered to pregnant women with a family history of the disease and are able to predict with almost 100% accuracy whether the baby would develop this cancer – and even whether the disease might develop in their siblings.

NHS chief executive Amanda Pritchard said the test had the potential to save hundreds of lives.
