You might have missed it, but in April scientists in the UK made an incredible breakthrough. A vaccine for Malaria became the first to meet the WHO target of 75% efficacy.
It has the potential to save hundreds of thousands of lives every year. But it’s taken over 100 years to get this far - and it might be many more years before it’s finally available.
We explore why progress has been so slow - and how the global fight against Covid has shown our true priorities in the West:

Well, it’s no coincidence that it shares a name with a beer - just check the label.
And watch this video.
This is pretty extraordinary, however you look at it.
In October 2019, two months before coronavirus emerged, countries across the world were ranked on how prepared they were for a pandemic.
Who do you think came 1st and 2nd?
The origin of COVID-19 has been the subject of much speculation. We placed all the research under the microscope and reveal little known evidence that may change your thinking completely.
