An international study estimates the pollution was linked to nine million premature deaths worldwide in twenty fifteen.The study analyzed global data about pollution related illnesses such as heart disease and strokes. Helen Brooks reports.

Research has analyzed worldwide health data to estimate the number of premature deaths linked with all forms of pollution, from traffic fumes to industrial chemicals. Air pollution was linked to six and a half million early deaths.Water pollution was the second largest contributor factor followed by exposure to toxins or carcinogens that work. Almost all of these deaths occurred in low and middle income countries where pollution could account for up to a quater of early death.The author of the report says water pollution is being neglected on the global health agenda and deserves the full attention of international leaders.

The Kurdish regional government has welcomed an offer of talks made by the Iraqi Prime Minister Haider Abadi just days after the Iraqi armed forces regained control of swathe of disputed territory held by the kurds in northern Iraq. Tensions are running high with armed Kurdish fighters taking up positions not far from federal forces on the main road between Kirkuk and the kurdish capital Erbil.

The British Prime Minister Theresa May has urged European Union leaders to create a new dynamic in the talks about Britain's departure from the EU. Speaking up for a working dinner at a summit in Brussels she called for a break deal that she could defend at her home.The German chancellor Angela Merkel said there would be a good outcome.But she added that more work needed to be done before talks could move on to discussions about trade.

Great Britain has made clear signals, in our view not sufficient to begin stage to, but clearly more than when we last met. The speech was an important one, so I think when we meet again tomorrow at twenty seven will again discuss our continuous negotiation,but the good spirit to these negotiations will be maintained that at least it was what Germany wants and I made that clear today.

The European Council president Donald Tusk has said that there is no space for the EU to get involved in the mediation of Catalonia.He was speaking on the first day of the Brussels summit and said the crisis over the region's bid for independence would not be widely discussed by European leaders.The spanish government says it will stop the process to take over some of catalonia autonomous powers. Tom Burridge is in Barcelona.

Based on salvatore three territory of Spain, Spanish government officials are showing me that they are reluctantly going when no spanish government has gone before. The idea of Madrid exerting greater control over disobedience regional government is so excensive and controversial that I think that at least in private the night spanish government officials at that EU summit are working hard to consolidate support. Tom Burridge.
