Scientists in Cameroon have warned that eating monkeys and apes could cause the next HIV.

They are already tracking a HIV-like virus called simian foamy virus, and fear more viruses could spread and lead to a global health crisis.

80 per cent of the meat eaten in Cameroon is killed in the wild and is known as ‘bushmeat’,with gorilla, chimpanzee or monkey favourites.

Tonkin snub-nosed monkey: Monkeys and apes are targets for bushmeat - and scientists worry viruses could spread to humans

According to oneestimate, up to 3,000 gorillas are slaughtered in southern Cameroon every year.

Elsewhere, the Washington-based Bush Meat Crisis Task Force estimates that up to five milliontons of wild animals are being ‘harvested’ in the Congo Basin every year – the equivalent of 10 million cattle. 

A study earlier this year by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), identified evidence of viruses,including simian foamy virus, in illegally imported wildlife products confiscated at several U.S. international airports, including John F. Kennedy International Airport, George Bush Intercontinental-Houston and Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson International.

Babila Tafon, headvet at the primate sanctuary Ape Action Africa (AAA), in Mefou, just outside the Cameroon capital Yaounde, has spotted the virus in animals brought to his sanctuary.

The AAA cares for22 gorillas and more than one hundred chimps which are orphans of the bush meat trade.

Mr Tafon tests the blood of all apes arriving at the sanctuary. He says he has recently detected the simian foamy virus, which is closely related to HIV, in the apes.

‘A recent surveyc onfirmed this is now in humans, especially in some of those who are huntersand cutting up the apes in the south-east of the country,’ he said.

He also believes that ebola may be present, and caused a recent mass death in a nearby village.

‘In the village of Bakaklion our brothers found a dead gorilla in the forest,’ said Felix Biango,a village elder. 

‘They took it back to the village and ate the meat. Almost immediately, everyone died – 25 men, women and children – the only person whodidn't was a woman who didn't eat the meat.’

Professor Dominique Baudon, the director of the Pasteur Centre in Yaounde, Cameroon’s capital, says he is concerned  viruses could quickly spread.

He says that the deeper poachers go in to the forest, and the more that primates are consumed,the more exposed people become to new unknown viruses and the more potential there is for the viruses to mutate into potentially aggressive forms.

Government researchers admit they do not know what the long term effects of SFV in humansare, and the Canadian government recently said they are not even sure how it is transmitted.

‘The exact method of transmission hasn't been confirmed, but there are indications that the virus may be transmitted through exposure to blood, saliva and other bodily fluids from affected animals,’ it said.

69-year-old twin sisters who are both prostitutes

A candid documentary about a pair of 69-year-old prostitute twin sisters is to make its debut at New York's Film Forum festival this summer.

Louise and Martine, who are veterans of Amsterdam's famous Red Light District and have a century of experience between them, star in Meet the Fokkens.

In a trailer, released today, they describe how times have changed since they started their career in the early Sixties, and how they feel about the public perception of their trade.

Turning tricks: Amsterdam prostitutes Louise and Martine Fokkens are the subjects of a new documentary that sees then discuss their 50-year careers in the city's Red Light District

Candid: The sisters share their opinions on everything from vibrators to young prostitutes today

It features a voiceover from Louise, who says: 'I can't tell you how many tricks we've had, countless.

'We hardly ever really f****d unless they paid us well.'

• 'Desire to sext naked pictures is hard-wired into human brains': Feeling wanted is especially important to women

Comparing the early days of the prostitution world with the present day, she recalls: 'In the old days, the local copper would tap on the window if a girl was showing too much ankle, now the girls deal coke from their cubicles.'

Louise explains that arthritis forced her to retire two years ago, because she 'couldn’t get one leg over the other' - though her sister continues to work.

Intimate insight: The pair describe how times have changed since they started their career in the early Sixties, and how they feel about the public perception of their trade

Double act: Louise and Martine dance in matching dresses outside their Amsterdam home

'My twin sister is still working in her old age,' she says. 'She needs the money. You can't live off a state pension.'

The trailer then shows a scene in which Martine is preparing herself for a job. She is seen calling out to her unseen client: 'I'm almost there... Did you hear me?'

An anonymous voice replies: 'Yes mistress,' to which she responds: 'Good Boy.'

The sisters can also be seen browsing a display of vibrators together in a sex shop, discussing the quality of the products on offer, and how they might use them.

Riveting story: The sisters tell how they freed themselves from the control of their pimps, ran their own brothel, and set up the first informal trade union for prostitutes

Still working: Martine remains a practising prostitute as she needs the money. Her sister, who stopped due to her arthritis, points out: 'You can't live off a state pension'

One says: 'This one vibrates and it's nice.' The other replies: 'This vibrates even better. You can hold it against the penis.'

The documentary, which will go on general release in the U.S. this autumn, also relates a more serious story: how the Fokkens sisters freed themselves from the control of their pimps, ran their own brothel, and set up the first informal trade union for prostitutes. 

Directors Gabriëlle Provaas and Rob Schröde told ABC News: 'This is the story we wanted to tell. 

'Louise and Martine are real old-fashioned Amsterdam hookers: liberated, cheerful and not scared of anybody.'

Defiant: The sisters dismiss any judgement from others over their career choice: 'You did the work, you've been a whore,' one says. 'They'll always call you names, so be one'

But though prostitution is legal in the Netherlands, their career choice has not been without judgement. 

In one clip, the twins are seen discussing the subject, with one saying to the other: 'You did the work, you've been a whore. You'll never get rid of that name.

'They'll always call you names, so be one.'

Meet The Fokkens will show at New York’s Film Forum on August 8.

A trio of brothers who grew breasts due to a rare genetic disorder are now 'living a normal life' after going under the knife.

The Ramírez brothers, from the Dominican Republic, said they were 'extremely happy' they were no longer being bullied, beaten and ridiculed for their 'moobs'.

Yeuri, 17, told local TV: 'It hurt a lot but now I feel good. Now they can't make fun of us anymore.'

Surgery: A trio of brothers went under the knife because they developed breasts due to a genetic condition

Rare: The trio of brothers who grew breasts due to a rare genetic disorder are now 'living a normal life' after going under the knife

The plight of the siblings, which some have described as a hoax, was highlighted when their desperate father Felipe appealed for help, via the island's news programme Zona5, from specialists.

His work as a food stall seller, and the absence of the boys' mother who left when they were little, meant he did not have enough money to pay for an operation.

His emotional plea was picked up by medics at the Marcelino Velez Santana Hospital, whose boss Dr Pedro Antonio Delgado agreed to pay for the operations.

After tests to see if Yeuri, his 11-year-old brother Gabriel and 12-year-old Daniu could undergo treatment, they each went under the knife for two hours.

Medics: Dr Elbi Morla (left) said the operation would be a key moment in the boy's lives, while Dr Pedro Antonio Delgado (right) confirmed his hospital paid entirely for the surgery

Rare: The condition affected the boys who are from the southern rural town of Magueyal

After the operation, for the condition called gynecomastia which affects males who have a hormonal imbalance, Dr Elbi Morla told the show: 'In reality, this is a key moment in their evolution. 

'It was something that was affecting them greatly.'

And a grateful Felipe added: 'They are now normal men. They have had them taken off. I never had the hope that this would happen.

'I never had the money to do this. I'm so thankful to the press for helping.'

Happy familiy: Felipe Ramirez (right) with his three sons after their operation and a presenter from Zona5, which was instrumental in organising their surgery

Bed bound: Yeuri, 17, told local TV: 'It hurt a lot but now I feel good. Now they can't make fun of us anymore'

Doctors said they will now monitor the boys and give them medicine to block the female hormones they were producing.

And they revealed that the condition, affecting the boys from the southern rural town of Magueyal, was genetic.

It was most likely due to a hormonal anomaly passed on through generations of the area’s small congenital gene pool.

2 YEAR OLD BOY ACCIDENTALLY HANGED HIMSELF

A toddler died after accidentally hanging himself with a window blind cord as he tried to see his friend out of a window, an inquest has heard.

Arthur Winfield was left severely brain-damaged after the accident at his home in Markyate, Hertfordshire, in January and died later in London's Great Ormond Street Hospital.

The two-year-old was found by his mother Emma after he had gone to his bedroom to collect some toy cars, Hatfield Coroner's Court heard.

It is believed Arthur became entangled with the blind cord after standing on a small stool to try and spot his friend out of his bedroom window, the inquest was told.

Hertfordshire Coroner Edward Thomas recorded a verdict of accidental death and told the family there was nothing more they could have done to save the youngster.

Boy who touched Obama’s hair:

The story behind a photograph showing a 5-year-old black boy touching President Obama's hair—which has been hanging in the West Wing of the White House for more than three years—may be coming to your inbox soon.

The New York Times published the adorable back story on Thursday, and it's quickly become the most-emailed article on the Times' website.

In May 2009, the child, Jacob Philadelphia, was visiting the White House with his father, a former Marine who was leaving his 2-year stint working for the National Security Council as part of the White House staff. The father asked to take a family photo with the president. Jacob said he had a question for Obama, who was then in his fifth month in office.

The Times recounts the rest:

"I want to know if my hair is just like yours," he told Mr. Obama, so quietly that the president asked him to speak again.

Jacob did, and Mr. Obama replied, "Why don't you touch it and see for yourself?" He lowered his head, level with Jacob, who hesitated.

"Touch it, dude!" Mr. Obama said.

As Jacob patted the presidential crown, ... [White House photographer Pete] Souza snapped.

"So, what do you think?" Mr. Obama asked.

"Yes, it does feel the same," Jacob said.

As the paper noted, President Obama has largely avoided discussing race during his first term. But the photo "is tangible evidence" that the president "remains a potent symbol for blacks, with a deep reservoir of support."

"As a photographer, you know when you have a unique moment," Souza told the paper. "But I didn't realize the extent to which this one would take on a life of its own. That one became an instant favorite of the staff. I think people are struck by the fact that the president of the United States was willing to bend down and let a little boy feel his head."

1. MISSED PENALTIES

Lionel Messi at the Camp Nou and then Arjen Robben at the Allianz Arena; two spot-kicks that should have sunk Chelsea but instead failed to hit the net and kept their dreams of European glory alive.

2. MISSED CHANCES

Napoli, Barcelona and Bayern Munich created enough chances in their respective ties with Chelsea to have each won the Champions League10 times over, but they were crucially wasteful, Barcelona especially.

3. WELL-TIMED STRIKES

The margin of victory over Barcelona was fine and, as such, the closing seconds before half-time in both legs of the semi-final tie should be cherished by Chelsea. Didier Drogba scored in that period at Stamford Bridge before Ramires did the same in the return game.

4. SACKING SAVIOUR

The firing of André Villas-Boas after just nine months as manager looked like another reckless move by Roman Abramovich, but he will reflect on that decision with huge satisfaction now. Roberto Di Matteo came in and galvanised the squad towards its greatest moment. The change was an inspired one.

5. DEADLY DROGBA

In what is set to be his final season at Stamford Bridge it was perhaps written in the stars that the Ivorian would make a final, decisive impact
