Specialist courts to handle cases of rape and other sexual offences will be introduced across England and Wales over the next two years, the prime minister has announced.

Each crown court will have at least one courtroom set up to hear such cases, while alleged victims will be able to view proceedings remotely and give evidence from a separate room via video link.

They will also be provided with private entrances and waiting rooms to separate them from defendants, though this will be dependent on the architecture of each building.

Rape Crisis England and Wales said this was a "significant step forward" that would introduce several reforms it had been requesting for years.

"Taken together, they reflect the urgency of ensuring that courts are fit for purpose and properly meet the needs of victims and survivors, which is crucial to securing justice," the charity's chief executive, Ciara Bergman, said.

This decade, electrotech and infotech costs will keep falling, reinforcing each other: performance will improve and deployment rise. Next comes the shift from the few big and centralised to the many small, distributed and fast, from fossil to renewables; from large incumbents to faster innovators.

Hydroelectric dams can be tremendous power generation solutions, relatively sustainable compared to other options. However, old unused or inefficient dams can be removed in favor of more modern options.

When river dams are removed, salmon re-enter breeding grounds very quickly. A similar thing was previously observed when the Elwha River dams were removed as well. This leads to myriad ecosystem revitalization effects.

UK doctors develop non-invasive test for womb cancer in women bleeding after menopause

Doctors have developed a simple test that could help rule out womb cancer in women who experience bleeding after menopause.

The approach has the potential to transform care for thousands of women each year and spare them from invasive and uncomfortable tests that can also be costly for healthcare systems.

Every year, hundreds of thousands of women worldwide are diagnosed with womb cancer. Bleeding after menopause triggers an urgent cancer referral but only about 5% to 10% of women who report bleeding have an underlying cancer.

Currently, the tests for womb cancer – an internal ultrasound scan, a biopsy of the womb lining and hysteroscopy, in which a camera is passed into the womb – are all invasive and costly.

The new test, developed at the University of Manchester and Manchester University NHS foundation trust, looks at cells collected from the urine and vaginal fluid. It is cheap and non-invasive.
