Supporters of Peru's former left-wing President Pedro Castillo have blocked roads and set vehicles on fire as anti-government demonstrations spread across the country.

100,000 babies in the UK are to have their DNA fully sequenced in a research project believed to be the biggest of its kind in the world. It aims to speed up the diagnosis of a large number of childhood conditions including cystic fibrosis. More details from our medical editor Fergus Walsh. 

The whole genome sequencing project will screen for around 200 rare conditions. All of them will be treatable, so early intervention should mean better outcomes for children and in some cases it may save lives. Genomics England, which is leading the project, says it will restrict analysis to early onset conditions and it will be up to the children involved when they are adults to decide whether their genome should be further analyzed.
