The Pope has pulled out of a visit to Rome's main university, after students and academics began protesting.

Other news: I was told by a colleague (after telling her of my weakened state) that tea-drinking can reduce the body's absorption of iron. I've done some research, and apparently this only relates to the iron found in plants, not meat, and also that if you have extra Vitamin C then it makes no difference (however, to make sure, you should have your cup of tea with your meal or up to an hour after). Who knew? Tabloid heading: TEA CAUSES ANAEMIA.
