Cuban protesters held in Havana

Most of those detained are members of the protest group Ladies in

White, who are demanding the release of political prisoners.

Many were stopped as they staged their silent weekly protest

march along an avenue in the capital, Havana.

The group says the country's Communist authorities have

increased pressure on them in recent days.

The government says they are paid by the US to undermine

Cuba's revolution.

The Ladies in White (Damas de Blanco) usually attend Mass

together and then stage a protest march outside calling for the

release of all political prisoners.

Leader seized

A group spokeswoman said that 19 of its members had been

detained on Saturday evening while trying to stage a march in

central Havana. Three have since been released without charge.

On Sunday morning, police detained another 36 members of the

group - including leader Bertha Soler - as they made their way to

attend Mass together in Havana.

After the church service, 22 women and two men were arrested as

they marched to the city centre, trying to go beyond a route that

has recently been tolerated by the authorities.

Witnesses said they were bundled into an unmarked bus by plain-

clothed police officers. That group was also released without

charge after several hours.

The BBC's Sarah Rainsford in Havana says that ahead of the

Pope's visit protesters have become more vocal and the

government seems to have reacted accordingly.

Elizardo Sanchez, of the banned but tolerated Cuban Human

Rights Commission, condemned the arrests.

He said it was still not clear where many of those arrested were

being held.

Human rights

The detentions come just a week before Pope Benedict is due in

Cuba. During his visit he is expected to raise the issue of human

rights with the Communist government.

Angel Moya, a Cuban dissident and former political prisoner, said

the Pope could not bring freedom to the island.

of Cuba is the Cuban people.

This Sunday marks the ninth anniversary of the arrests of 75

opponents of the Cuban government.

The Roman Catholic Church was instrumental in securing their

release in 2010, following years of protests by their wives and

sisters.

The Ladies in White were initially composed of family members of

those dissidents detained in 2003, but later also championed wider

human rights issues.

Earlier this year, it received the US government's Human Rights

Defender Award for what Washington called their exceptional

valour in protecting human rights in the face of government

repression.

The Ladies in White have often faced harassment from

government supporters.

Cuban authorities say such demonstrations are spontaneous

Nurses charged over 'induced

deaths' at

Uruguay hospital

The men were held after a two-month police investigation. A third

nurse was charged with concealing evidence.

The judge in the case said the two admitted to a total of 16

induced deaths, but they could be responsible for dozens more.

A lawyer for one nurse said her client had acted for humanitarian

reasons.

He is

lawyer Ines Massiotti said.

Prosecutors say the alleged killings took place in the cardiology

unit of the Maciel Hospital and in the intensive care unit of the

Spanish Mutual Care hospital.

'Psychopathic behaviour'

The names of the nurses - who were apparently not working

together - have not been released.

Reports in Uruguay's media suggest that as many as 50 people

could have been killed through a combination of administered

medication and other procedures.

Police inspector Jose Luis Roldan said poison from Brazil had been

used on patients who were in critical condition, the Associated

Press news agency reports.

However, investigators believe that not all the victims were

terminally ill.

A spokesperson for one of the hospitals involved said that the

deaths were the consequence of

?2,000 per person, researchers at the Boston Consulting Group

(BCG) said.

That made it bigger than the healthcare, construction or education

sectors.

The UK also carries out far more retail online than any other major

economy.

Some 13.5% of all purchases were done over the internet in 2010,

according to BCG, and this is projected to rise to 23% by 2016.

Chocolate v sex

The researchers said that the overall UK web economy is

particularly fast-growing.

They predict it will continue to expand at a rate of 11% per year

for the next four years, reaching a total value of ?221bn by 2016.

That compares with projected growth rates of 5.4% in the US and

6.9% in China.

This may be particularly good news for small and medium-sized

businesses that focus on the sector.

The research suggested that their revenues have grown by 12.5%

each year in the last three years.

The study also provided an indication of the UK public's growing

love affair with the web.

While only a quarter of those surveyed said they would consider

giving up sex for a year in order to maintain their broadband

connection, the figures for other vices were much higher.

Some 65% would give up alcohol, 76% chocolate and 78% coffee.

British Press TV journalists freed

by Libya

Gareth Montgomery-Johnson, from Carmarthen, and Nicholas

Davies- Jones, of Berkshire, were held last month.

The Libyan Interior Ministry earlier said the two men had been

released and would be deported on Monday.

The journalists, who had been working for the Iranian broadcaster

Press TV, have apologised for their actions.

Spying claim

A Foreign Office spokeswoman said:

In an interview on Monday morning, Mr Montgomery- Johnson's

sister said she expected him to return home within the next 24 or

36 hours.

Mr Montgomery-Johnson and Mr Davies-Jones were taken into

detention by the Misrata Brigade militia in Tripoli on 22 February.

They were initially accused of spying, and it had previously been

feared that the two men may face charges.

Last week they appeared in a video apologising for entering Libya

without authorisation but saying they had been treated well.

Mr Montgomery- Johnson's family and human rights groups lobbied

for the men to be handed to the Libyan authorities, and this was

done on 14 March.

Safe and well

Deputy Interior Minister Omar al-Khadrawi was quoted by the AFP

news agency as saying:

Poor literacy 'increases early

death risk for elderly'

They are more than twice as likely to die within five years as

adults with no literacy problems, it was found.

The University College London study tested nearly 8,000 adults on

their understanding of aspirin instructions.

The Patients Association said patients should help draft

information leaflets so they are

The researchers, from the department of epidemiology and public

health at University College London, said that limited or low health

literacy among older people has implications for the design and

delivery of health services for this section of the population.

Using a short test containing four questions, based on instructions

similar to those found on a packet of aspirin, the researchers

assessed the participants' ability to read and understand the

information.

They found that 67.5% had high health literacy (achieved the

maximum score), 20% were classed as medium (made one error)

and 12.5% had low health literacy (got two, one or no questions

correct).

In the study, almost half of the adults aged over 80 could not

correctly answer all four questions, compared to one-quarter of

the adults aged 60 or less.

'Worrying'

The study followed the participants for an average of five years

after the test.

During this time, 6.1% (321) died in the high health literacy

category, 9% (143) in the medium category and 16% (157) in the

low literacy category.

The researchers said that lower health literacy was linked to a

higher prevalence of depressive symptoms, physical limitations

and chronic diseases, such as heart disease, diabetes, stroke and

asthma - but higher health literacy scores were linked to stronger

cognitive abilities, including verbal fluency and working memory,

they said.

When researchers adjusted for factors such as wealth, education,

income, ethnicity and basic health, the link between low health

literacy and mortality risk reduced,

'greenest government',

survey suggests

And only 4% want to see laws protecting the countryside

weakened, as the government is expected to do this week.

Prime Minister David Cameron pledged to lead the

government ever

Critics say that recent decisions on climate change, forests, badger

culling, urban pollution and nature protection have undermined

the claim.

But a government spokesman said it was

being the greenest government ever and wanted to be judged on

actions.

Environmental groups are particularly highlighting an

announcement made on Saturday that will allow gas-fired power

stations to continue emitting carbon dioxide at their current rate

until 2045.

The poll, commissioned by Greenpeace and the RSPB from

YouGov, shows that 53% of the UK electorate believes the

government is about average on green issues, while 10% say it is

greener than average.

Only 3% of Conservative voters say it lives up to the

It will allow gas-fired power stations to emit the same amount of

Mr Osborne said the move

However, the Committee on Climate Change, the government's

statutory advisers, say that in order to meet long-term climate

targets, the electricity generating sector should be

decarbonised

That would mean a mixture of renewables, nuclear, and fossil fuel

power stations that capture and store the carbon dioxide they

produce.

Analysts say that in order to meet the 2030 target - which Mr

Cameron said he

at current levels.

If the figure ends up being closer to 50%, which some analysts

believe likely, long-term climate targets will be much more difficult

to achieve.

In response to the poll results, a government spokesman said:

Environment White Paper in 20 years and a Water White Paper to

successes, he said.
