| US-Mexico border: How hope, aspiration and love drives migrants through a perilous journey Posted: 02 Jun 2018 04:47 AM PDT  As Donald Trump stood before his jubilant supporters at the end of his thank you tour in Alabama in December 2016 chants of "build the wall" echoed around the Ladd-Peebles Stadium. The boisterous crowd interrupted the then president-elect to remind him of the promise he had made during the election campaign: to clamp down on people illegally crossing the border into the US. The infamous structure, despite being practically impossible to deliver, serves as a physical and metaphorical blockade stopping undocumented immigrants entering the US from Mexico and Central America, 11 million of whom already reside in the country.

| Melania Trump unseen in public for 22 days as she skips Camp David trip Posted: 02 Jun 2018 07:17 AM PDT  Melania Trump will not join her husband at the Camp David presidential retreat this weekend, extending to 22 days the time since she last appeared in public. The First Lady was last seen on May 10 and underwent surgery for a "benign" kidney issue on May 14, spending a few days in hospital before being released. Mrs Trump's lack of appearance at events she would normally be expected to attend has created headlines in the US media and triggered conspiracy theories. She addressed them on Wednesday, tweeting: "I see the media is working overtime speculating where I am & what I'm doing. "Rest assured, I'm here at the White House [with] my family, feeling great, & working hard on behalf of children & the American people!" Donald Trump will be spending the weekend at Camp David – a location he rarely attends, preferring instead his Florida resort Mar-a-lago. But the White House confirmed that Mrs Trump will not be with him. News of Mrs Trump's operation last month was broken by a spokesman for the First Lady. There had been no public signs before the statement dropped that she had been unwell. Mrs Trump's communications director said at the time that the First Lady "underwent an embolisation procedure to treat a benign kidney condition". She said "the procedure was successful and there were no complications" and added: "The First Lady looks forward to a full recovery so she can continue her work on behalf of children everywhere." Mrs Trump was treated at the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center on the edge of Washington. It is unclear when she will next appear in at a public event.

| Targeted cancer treatments far outperform traditional methods Posted: 02 Jun 2018 06:58 AM PDT  Cancer treatments that attack tumors based on their individual genetic traits -- not their location in the body -- far outperform traditional methods, extending survival for twice as many patients, a study said Saturday. The precision medicine field of targeted therapy involves testing tumors for clues about their genetic mutations, and matching patients with new drugs designed to block cancer's growth on a molecular level. The results of the first and largest precision medicine trial to look at survival across a host of cancer types and many different targeted therapies were released at the American Society of Clinical Oncology meeting in Chicago, the world's largest annual cancer meeting.
