A controversial US-funded study on hepatitis B vaccines for newborns in Guinea-Bissau has been cancelled, according to officials at the Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention. Yap Boum, a senior Africa CDC official, confirmed the decision, citing serious ethical concerns about the trial’s design. The $1.6m study, funded under the oversight of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. at the US Department of Health and Human Services, drew widespread criticism for potentially withholding a proven hepatitis B vaccine from thousands of infants in a country with a high disease burden. Africa CDC said the trial could only proceed if it were…

West Ham United are willing to sell Lucas Paquetá this month only if the move includes a loan back until the end of the season, but that condition is facing resistance from Flamengo. Flamengo have had an opening €35m bid rejected and may increase it to around €40m, yet believe they can wait until the summer to secure the player more cheaply. Paquetá wants to return to Brazil after a difficult spell in England, despite being cleared of spot-fixing allegations last year. West Ham, however, fear selling him outright could damage their relegation fight, with the club currently seven points…

US stock indexes reached record highs early in the week. Prices later slipped only modestly. Equity markets signaled calm despite…
BP has said it expects to write down up to $5bn (£3.7bn) from its green and low-carbon energy businesses as it refocuses on fossil fuels. The move comes under the leadership of its new chair, Albert Manifold, and reflects weaker performance in BP’s transition businesses, including gas and renewables. The company said the writedowns, largely linked to its low-carbon and gas divisions, will not affect underlying profits when it reports full-year results in February. BP has already scaled back parts of its energy transition, attempting to sell a stake in its solar arm Lightsource and cancelling hydrogen projects in the…
