When it comes to health innovations, says the study, Africa's got talent. The trouble is many of the brightest ideas are left languishing in the labouratory. In Ghana, for example, there's a simple test to diagnose a parasitic disease that's prevalent across Africa and a herbal medicine for malaria; Nigeria has an effective drug for tackling sickle-cell anaemia. But such innovations have not been nurtured and have failed to become commercial products. Homegrown scientists and entrepreneurs have the answer, says the study. With the right backing they could save millions of African lives.

An exit poll in Kosovo indicates that the Democratic Party led by the Prime Minister Hashim Thaci is ahead of its rivals in Sunday's parliamentary elections, but the poll also suggested that Mr Thaci was unlikely to win an overall majority. The election was the first since Kosovo and its ethnic Albanian majority declared independence from Serbia almost three years ago. Election officials said barely any votes were cast in Serbian areas of the north.

Some of the Chilean miners rescued in October after two months trapped underground have arrived in England to watch a football match. They are guests of Manchester United for their Premier League game against Arsenal on Monday. Ed Thomas reports.

Even after an 18-hour journey, there were plenty of smiles when the miners got off the plane. Tonight the miners had dinner with Sir Bobby Charlton at Old Trafford. Tomorrow they'll meet Manchester United players before watching the game from a director's box. How life has changed for the men who used to earn $800 a month at the San Jose mine!
