All our clothes are in the water and we only managed to save the children. I lost everything. This is all that is left of me.

TÀmÀn vuoden puutteet ottiin monia asioita maailmalle, yleensÀ ominaisuuksiamme. TÀmÀn vuoden ajan me menemme syömiin koko vuoden. MeillÀ ei ole kasavaa, meillÀ ei ole kornia. Valtuutettavaa resursseja on vÀhentynyt. Vastuutettavaa asuntoa ei saa syödÀ.

What's the problem? How they can help us? And sometimes in the past they gave us money, only money, without expertise, without machinery. So I think now they have to come with plans and how they are going to help us. And they have to listen to us and work with us so we are not treated as second-hand citizens anymore.

I think this case has opportunities for all the islands in the Caribbean, not only the islands, over the whole world. So it's also a start case for all the other islands of lands that we have to save this world. Because if we go like we do it now, cutting trees and not helping the world, we don't have in a couple of years no world anymore. Oni, Emma and Sianna from Bonaire.

Scientists think they've found a way to spot the signs of dementia earlier, and they've got there by using the works of one of the world's best love fantasy authors. Will Chalk has been looking at the study. Through dozens of novels translated into more than 40 languages, Terry Pratchett's stories have been enjoyed by millions of people around the world. It appears, Vimes, that while steeling themselves for the fracas to come, both the trolls and the dwarfs came into possession of what I assume they thought was beer?

But now scientists think his fantasy tales have helped them unlock something else. A greater understanding of the condition the author himself suffered with towards the end of his life. Dementia. I don't like the disease. I can't skim read this.

That's Terry Pratchett speaking to the BBC in 2013, six years after his diagnosis. But researchers at the University of Loughborough here in the UK now think they can spot subtle signs of the condition appearing in his writing from much earlier.

We got Terry Pratchett's novels and fed them into a computer program that was able to identify different word types. That's Dr. Tom Wilcoxon, who's behind the study. He says that whilst other authors who've been analysed have a stable vocabulary well into their 90s, Terry Pratchett is different. The changes are so subtle that a reader would struggle to notice, but their statistical analysis did.

Now you might be thinking, what use is this to those of us who don't have huge back catalogues of novels waiting to be analysed? Well, we might not all be authors, but with every second we spend at work or online, we're building up our own vast, albeit more mundane, back catalogues of things like emails, reports and messages. So it's hoped this technique might one day help people be diagnosed with dementia sooner, whether they write fantasy or not.
