Man accused of spreading AIDS in the 70s isn't guilty of it after all
French-Canadian flight attendant Gaëtan Dugas has carried a heavy burden with him for a while now. He was accused of introducing HIV/AIDS into the US from the Caribbean in the early 1970s. Thankfully, research has now indicated that he isn't the man to blame after all.
Scientists have recently reconstructed the route that the deadly virus took to arrive in the US and, based on DNA evidence concluded that Dugas isn't behind the spread. The researchers said that the virus in fact, entered the US more than a decade earlier. Dugas was referred to as " Patient Zero" in a 1984 study of homosexual men with AIDS. However, scientists are now claiming that the label might have been the result of a typo! The original study called Dugas "Patient O" where O actually stood for "Outside of California".
Ecuador confirms oil drilling under Yasuní national park - a Unesco biosphere reserve
Recent reports have come out about Ecuador that confirm oil drilling has started under the country's Yasuní national park, one of the world's biodiversity hotspots.

In addition to criticism about going ahead with the drilling in a sensitive ecosystem; president Rafael Correa had also received flak from various quarters in 2013, when he shot down a conservation plan to let the oil remain under the Ishpingo-Tambococha-Tiputini (ITT) area of the park in exchange for $3.6bn (3bn) compensation.
