A 170-carat stone has been named the "Lulo Rose", after the mine in Angola where it was found. The Lulo Rose is a type 2a
diamond, meaning it has few or no impurities.
"This record and spectacular pink diamond recovered from Lulo continues to showcase Angola as an important player on the 
world stage," said Diamantino Azevedo, Angola's minister of mineral resources.
Similar diamonds have been bought for tens of millions of dollars in the past, with one - known as Pink Star - selling at a Hong
Kong auction for $71.2m in 2017.

> Monkeypox hits Europe, Americas hardest
Europe and the Americas have been affected the most by the monkeypox outbreak, Director General of the World Health 
Organization told journalists on Wednesday.
These two regions have reported 95 percent of the diagnosed cases.
Over 18,000 monkeypox cases have been reported to the WHO from 78 countries.
More than 70 percent came from the European region and 25 percent from the Americas.
The WHO has been urging countries to take the monkeypox outbreak seriously by taking the steps needed to stop transmission
and protect vulnerable groups.
Meanwhile, Canada, the European Union and the U.S. have already approved the vaccine called MVA-BN for use against 
monkeypox, and two other vaccines are also being assessed
Bananas and salmon help counter effect of salt in women’s diet, study finds 
Eating foods such as bananas, avocados and salmon could help reduce the negative effects of salt in women’s diet, research 
suggests.
The study found that potassium-rich diets were associated with lower blood pressure, particularly in women with high salt intake.
Researchers say their findings indicate the mineral helps preserve heart health, and that women benefit more than men.
Study author Professor Liffert Vogt of Amsterdam University Medical Centers, in the Netherlands, said: “It is well known that high 
salt consumption is associated with elevated blood pressure and a raised risk of heart attacks and strokes. Health advice has 
focused on limiting salt intake, but this is difficult to achieve when our diets include processed foods. In our study, dietary
potassium was linked with the greatest health gains in women.”
The study included 11,267 men and 13,696 women, which recruited adults aged 40 to 79 from general practices in Norfolk, UK, 
between 1993 and 1997.
Foods high in potassium include vegetables, fruit, nuts, beans, dairy products and fish.
